We have recently built a house on Lot 7 of the new Crane Point Development on High
Rock Lake (1250 Crane View Road, Salisbury, Rowan County, NC 28146). Due to
limited shoreline on our lot, we will be sharing a dock with our neighbors, Dan and
Marleen Rippeth, who own Lot 6. It has been determined by Alcoa that at the location of
our shared dock the water is only 6 feet deep at full pool. According to the current rules
for High Rock Lake, we need 8 feet at the end of the dock. Thus we will need to dredge
and am requesting a dredging permit from NCDWQ. We want to be ready when/if the
lake level is lowered this winter.
Our plan is to utilize a front end loader when the lake level is down to remove about 500
cubic yards from an area seventy five (75) feet by sixty (60) feet (4500 square feet), as
discussed on the attached application and shown on the attached sketch (A). The
removed material will be spread over an area of about 0.9 acres of septic fields (Lots 7S
and 6S) owned by us and the Rippeth's - see attached development map (13) and Rippeth
agreement letter (C). As shown on the attached area map (D), Crane Point Development
is accessed by Lake Farm Road off of Long Ferry Road which is accessed off of
Interstate 85 at Exit 81. Also attached is our General Permit Verification from the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (E). Our check (No. 5130) for the $200 application fee, as well
as seven (7) copies of the application and supporting documentation, is attached.
Thank you for your assistance. If you have any questions, we can be reached by phone at
704-431-4754 or by email at sash34 a,carolina.rr.com or cstewart.ashAbp.com.
Sincerely,

When using any driving directions or map, it's a good idea to do a reality check and make sure the road still exists,
watch out for construction, and follow all traffic safety precautions. This is only to be used as an aid in planning.
