Hi Kevin,
I've reviewed the applications for the G Elton Todd Residence and the Stelling Residence, both of which
propose to place riprap at the base of existing seawalls. NCWRC doesn't object to either of these projects, as
they'll likely increase shoreline habitat heterogeneity along the seawalls.
Fallen trees and other large woody debris along the shoreline are especially important, providing cover for
various sunfish, largemouth bass, and other fishes in the lake. Therefore, existing large woody debris should
be left in place or moved temporarily and replaced after the work is complete.
