The Project consists of the Jocassee Development and the Keowee Development in Upstate South Carolina and western North Carolina. The FERC license identifies all Project purposes (such as operation and maintenance, flowage, public recreation, public access, protection of environmental resources, and shoreline control) and specifies requirements associated with operation of the Project. The Licensee is responsible for operating and maintaining the Project in accordance with the license requirements and for ensuring Project lands and waters are protected and maintained for their designated Project purposes. Licensees have an ongoing responsibility to supervise and manage shoreline development to ensure it is not inconsistent with Project purposes, including protection and enhancement of the Project’s scenic, recreational, cultural, and other environmental values. This Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) is a comprehensive management tool for managing requests for shoreline activities within the FERC Project Boundary in a manner consistent with Project purposes. This SMP includes the following components: • Shoreline Classification Maps (Appendix A) • Shoreline Classifications and Lake Use Restrictions (Appendix B) • Shoreline Management Guidelines (SMG) (Appendix C), which include the Shoreline Stabilization Technique Selection Process (SSTSP) and the Procedure to Allow Docks to Follow the Water • Shoreline Classification Examples (Appendix D) • Process for Structure Renovation and Removal (Appendix E) • Consultation Record (Appendix F) 1.1 Project Area Description The Project encompasses two reservoirs: Lake Jocassee and Lake Keowee. The Project is located primarily in Oconee and Pickens counties, South Carolina, with a small part of Lake September 1, 2014 1 Shoreline Management Plan Keowee-Toxaway Project (FERC No. 2503) Jocassee extending into Transylvania County, North Carolina. Duke Energy owns all land within the Project Boundary. 1.1.1 Jocassee Development The Jocassee Development is located in Oconee County and Pickens County, South Carolina, and Transylvania County, North Carolina (Figure 1) about 20 miles (mi) north of Seneca, SC. The Jocassee Development consists of a reservoir (Lake Jocassee), dam, two saddle dikes, and a powerhouse. At its Normal Full Pond Elevation of 1,110 feet (ft) above mean sea level (AMSL), Lake Jocassee has a surface area of approximately 7,980 acres (ac) with approximately 92.4 mi of shoreline. The Project Boundary for Lake Jocassee varies from 1,110 ft AMSL to 1,120 ft AMSL, except around Project Access Areas, dams, saddle dikes and the powerhouse where it follows a metes and bounds description. Lake Jocassee has a Critical Reservoir Elevation (also referred to as a “maximum drawdown”) of 30 ft below full pond (i.e., elevation 1,080 ft AMSL). In addition to its hydropower and pumped storage roles for the Keowee-Toxaway Project, Lake Jocassee also serves as the lower reservoir for Duke Energy’s Bad Creek Pumped Storage Project (FERC Project No. 2740). 1.1.2 Keowee Development The Keowee Development is located in Oconee County and Pickens County, South Carolina, on the Keowee River about 8 mi north of Seneca, SC and impounds the Little River and Keowee River. The Keowee Development consists of a reservoir (Lake Keowee), two dams, four saddle dikes, and a powerhouse. At its Normal Full Pond Elevation of 800 ft AMSL, Lake Keowee has a surface area of approximately 17,660 ac with approximately 387.9 mi of shoreline. The Project Boundary for Lake Keowee varies from 800 ft AMSL to 810 ft AMSL, except around Project Access Areas, dams, saddle dikes and the powerhouse where it follows a metes and bounds description. Lake Keowee has a Critical Reservoir Elevation of 794.6 ft AMSL until December 1, 2019, at which time the Critical Reservoir Elevation will change to 790.0 ft AMSL. Lake Keowee also serves as a raw water supply for public water systems operated by Seneca Light and Water and Greenville Water.

Project Location Map September 1, 2014 3 Shoreline Management Plan Keowee-Toxaway Project (FERC No. 2503) 1.2 History of Shoreline Management The development of the previous FERC-approved SMPs for the Jocassee Development and the Keowee Development was greatly influenced by the experience gained in developing and implementing the Catawba-Wateree Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2232) SMP over many years. In particular, Duke Energy employed data gathering techniques, a shoreline classification system, terminology, and lake use restrictions for the development of these SMPs, all of which were similar to those used for the Catawba-Wateree SMP. Duke Energy began managing shoreline

    Geography of a Massacre: Cherokee and Carolinian Visions of Land at Long Cane

    Geography of a Massacre: Cherokee and Carolinian Visions of Land at Long Cane Jessica Leann Cook Los Angeles, California. Bachelor of Arts in History, University of California, 2009 A thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of History University of Virginia May, 2017 1 Geography of a Massacre: Cherokee and Carolinian Visions of Land at Long Cane Jessica L. Cook Note: Maps for this essay are available online at http://www.viseyes.org/mapscholar/?1635. On February 1, 1760, after eighteen months of rising tensions between Cherokee peoples and British colonists, a contingent of Cherokee warriors attacked a convoy of fleeing British settlers near Long Cane Creek in northwestern South Carolina. Later named "The Long Canes Massacre” by Anglo-Americans, the deadly ambush made front page news throughout the colony and precipitated two devastating British military campaigns into Cherokee homelands. Over the last eighty years, scholars have considered the attack at Long Cane Creek only as a narrative event and have used it to illustrate rising tensions in their broader studies of the region's history. As a result, academic understanding of Long Canes' significance has changed very little since the nineteenth century. Current scholarship argues that area border disputes and the massacre occurred because of “illegal” settlement beyond a boundary line negotiated in 1747. This interpretation, however, assumes that the 1747 boundary was legitimate, that British officials, settlers, and the Cherokee knew and agreed on its precise location, and that average Cherokee people understood the treaty's terms enough to recognize and become angered by boundary violations.1 1 In his detailed geographical study of the Southern Indian Boundary formation, Louis DeVorsey used the term ‘illegal’ to summarize the contents of an August 1758 Cherokee letter to the governor of Georgia requesting help removing white settlers from area hunting grounds.

Margaret Scarry Reader: John Scarry 3331051 3331051 2008 ©2008 Jon Bernard Marcoux ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JON BERNARD MARCOUX: Cherokee Households and Communities in the English Contact Period, A.D. 1670-1740 (Under the direction of Vincas P. Steponaitis and Brett Riggs) This study focuses on issues of culture contact and the materialization of identity through an archaeological case study of a late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Cherokee community located in eastern Tennessee. The English Contact period (ca. A.D. 1670-1740) was an extremely turbulent time for southeastern Indian groups marked by disease, warfare, and population movements. I examine how this chaotic period played out in the daily lives of Cherokee households. I use primary and secondary sources to develop an historical context for the English Contact period in the southeastern United States. I introduce a reliable way to identify English Contact period Cherokee occupations using pottery and glass trade bead data. I also consult artifact data in order to identify patterns associated with change and stability in the activities of daily life within Cherokee households. I find that daily life in Cherokee households changed dramatically as they coped with the shifting social, political, and economic currents of the English Contact period.

Tortora 2011 Abstract In 1760, when British victory was all but assured and hostilities in the northeastern colonies of North America came to an end, the future of the southeastern colonies was not nearly so clear. British authorities in the South still faced the possibility of a local French and Indian alliance and clashed with angry Cherokees who had complaints of their own. These tensions and events usually take a back seat to the climactic proceedings further north. I argue that in South Carolina, by destabilizing relations with African and Native Americans, the Cherokee Indians raised the social and political anxieties of coastal elites to a fever pitch during the Anglo-Cherokee War.

    How Cherokee Folk Ways Conflicted with Colonial Culture

    SEEDS OF THE REAL PEOPLE: HOW CHEROKEE FOLK WAYS CONFLICTED WITH COLONIAL CULTURE By Christopher Gunn A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History at Liberty University December, 2014 1 Introduction In 1673 James Needham and Gabriel Arthur set out from Virginia to find new trade partners beyond the country of the Occhonechees. They followed an Occhonechee guide called Indian John, and eventually came to the territory of the Cherokees (a large swath of land in the Appalachians, covering much of present day North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee), who they called Tomahitans.1 After meeting with the townspeople and chief, and noting their enthusiasm for trade relations, Needham left Arthur behind at a Cherokee town to learn their language while he returned home with knowledge of the new trade path. He traveled with an accompanying group of Cherokee hunters and his guide, Indian John. En route, Indian John fell into an argument with Needham and after a series of threats, shot him in the back of the skull, killing him. The murder dismayed the Cherokee hunters, who feared that the blame would be put at their feet, thus destroying any chance of the desirable Virginian trade. Indian John played on their fears, and convinced them that since war with the colony was inevitable, they ought to return quickly to the town and also kill Gabriel Arthur. Arriving, they found the head man away, and bound Arthur to a pyre of canes, intending to burn him to death. A visiting Weesock Indian apparently took the lead, preparing a firebrand to light the blaze.
