Comments from the Commission on these permit actions are provided under provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.), and the North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 10I.0102. Wolf Laurel Branch (C Tr) supports a wild rainbow trout population. Puncheon Fork downstream of the branch is stocked with trout as part of the Commission's Designated Public Mountain Trout Water program, but rainbow trout also reproduce naturally in the creek. Hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis, NC -SC and US-FSC) and other rare species reside in Big Laurel Creek downstream of Puncheon Fork. We recommend considering how the water withdrawal/s for snow making at the Wolf Laurel ski facility affect waste assimilation in Puncheon Fork. In the past, the ski facility has removed a considerable amount of stream flow from Puncheon Fork. There may be a withdrawal on Wolf Laurel Branch as well. Flow reductions from withdrawals in receiving streams in the area may not have been considered when modeling was undertaken for these treatment facilities and the more recently permitted Scenic Wolf Mountain Resort WWTP on Puncheon Fork. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on these permit actions. Please contact me at (828) 452-2546 extension 24 if there are any questions about these comments.
