3d Explain the purpose of the proposed project
excavation of accumulated sediments in lake bed
3e Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used
Excavation of the sediment will require the drawdown of the lake level approximately 11' using the valve on the outlet
structure Once lowered, flow will be maintained through the outlet structure to ensure a constant lake level and
downstream flow The sediments will be allowed to dry out and then will be excavated in the dry through use of a
trackhoe and trackmats Additional temporary road beds and temporary access culverts installed to protect the two
streams'flow in the project area will be installed as necessary and shown on the map and removed as the project is
completed Total sediment proposed to be removed is 15,000 cu yds in 2013 Total project timetable of actual
excavation work should be three weeks, weather depending See the attached project summary and maps for more

Subject: RE: Trout Lake status and survey
Barbara,
I sampled Morgan Creek with Gus and Dick this AM and did not find any trout; just a few adult river chubs and green sunfish. I
also sampled short reach of the Little River by the POA office /meeting room and only picked up a couple of river chub and a
redbreast sunfish. In 2006, a WRC crew found rainbow trout in the same location. After sampling, I went downstream about
mile below the post office (about a mile or so downstream of Morgan Creek) and saw a couple rainbow trout, so there are still
some hanging on in there.
Anyway, I believe the trout moratorium requirement of the 404 permit can be waived given the updated fish distribution
information and the plan to only draw down the lake partially (to the "mid - level" drain) to maintain a sediment trap in the lake
bed.
Thanks for your patience and the opportunity to take a better look at the fish out there. Regarding the fish community, I wasn't
too surprised to see the chub /sunfish mix, we see that in many high elevation streams in and around Cashiers and Highlands
areas due to the thermal impacts of lakes and ponds. What was surprising was the lack of small /juvenile fish of any kind; I don't
know what that could be a result of. Should the dam of Trout Lake ever need repair work again, then the POA may want to
consider operating the mid -level valve as a partial outflow (or other mechanism) to reduce the summer temperatures in Morgan
Creek and the Little River near the confluence.
Please forward me the PCN once it is revised and I will promptly respond with a letter and any suggestions for completing the
dredging project.
Thanks
Dave

Subject: RE: Trout Lake status and survey
Dave — thanks for the update. Yes, we think the impact should be much lessened due to the standing water and the
community commitment to daily monitoring of lake and lake level. I was also wondering if the cold in February would
assist in lessening the erosion of exposed frozen ground as versus the spring rains on the warm soils. Have you any
idea whether that could help or if it makes any difference at all? We know it will help the trackhoe in maneuvering
based on conversations with the contractors — holds the ground together better — so the thought came up does that help
in lowering the runoff potential too? I think the biggest protection is speed of the removal — to get in and get out as
soon as possible. The community has that as a high priority, no matter when the project will take place.
Contact next week — Dick Charmley and Gus Napier are the contacts — both are out of town this week but available by
email. Dick should be back next week and available by phone.
Gus - ayncomporium.net ; cell phone 828 -553 -9026 while gone (his wife's cell phone is on more than his)
Dick - charmley@comporium.net ; I do not have a phone number for him. If you need one, you can ask Gus in an
email for a phone number to call
And Gus can tell you if someone else can be or should be contacted next week.

I have yet to get out there and sample as planned. The district biologist wants to verify the bkt report below the lake; as
mentioned in the meeting we only have records for rainbow trout in Little River near Morgan, in which case we would normally
ask for the Jan 1 to April 15 moratorium to apply (instead of Oct 15 start) to projects that will disturb spawning habitat, either
directly or indirectly through downstream sedimentation. The potential for indirect from this project should be lessened, when
compared to similar projects, due to the "mid - level" outlet drain, assuming the height of the drain is and stays above the
sediment level in the pool. I will try to get out there next week to sample. Can you please relay me the contact information out
there so I can give a heads -up?
Thanks

Dave — what's the current thinking about Trout Lake, the sediment project and the impact downstream? Need to know
which way to plan for the community to move forward on the PCN — whether we can work around a February date or
an April date. No matter what, we will work with you on keeping the impact to a minimum on Morgan Creek.

TROUT LAKE EXCAVATION
BACKGROUND
Trout Lake, originally called Judson Lake, and later called Hemlock Lake, is in the
Sherwood Forest subdivision approximately ten miles south of Brevard off Highway 276 (the
Greenville Highway) The Lake is owned by the Sherwood Forest Homeowner's Association, which
is governed by a Board of Directors, the Lakes and Dams Committee is advisory to the Board and
responsible for monitoring and maintaining the five lakes in the subdivision
The lake was built in approximately 1928 and has been receiving runoff for over 80 years
The 1000 -acre development is heavily wooded, and approximately 50% of its area is protected
forest, which has limited the amount of siltation that the lake has received Though the concrete dam
was re -built during the 1990s and is in excellent condition, no soil has ever been removed from the
Lake Since the year 2000, when a survey of the various depths of Trout Lake was done, there has
been major work on the four dams above this lake The result of this activity has been increased
siltation in Trout, despite efforts to prevent that occurrence
At present the lake is very shallow, and during warm weather it is choked with water shield,
particularly around its perimeter The purpose of the de- silting is to discourage the growth of
invasive aquatic plants and to achieve greater water depths that will make the lake more functional for
boating, fishing, and swimming Some lakeshore property owners cannot use the lake from their
docks because of its shallowness
The lake is fed principally by Morgan Creek, which is a fairly active stream and which enters
the lake on its southeast comer An unnamed small stream enters from the adjacent (southwest)
comer In the northeast corner there is a persistently wet area, probably the site of an active spring
We will conduct dry removal of soil from the northem, eastern, and southern shores and
shore -edges (the bank on the western shore is fairly steep, as it borders the deepest portion of the lake
and would be difficult to reach (see map of proposed project) Adequate depths remain in the deeper
portions of the lake, with the deepest level around 17' We will drain the lake from the gate valve in
the center of the dam, which is located 11 feet directly below the spillway The dram is only 8" in
diameter, and during the de- silting it will always be active to maintain adequate water levels
downstream of the dam, though it can be easily closed to prevent turbid outflow in heavy rain
conditions When drained close to this maximum level, an adequate -sized pool remains for aquatic
fish support, the areas most in need of de- silting are also exposed We hope to achieve a perimeter
depth of three feet, tapering down to an eight -foot depth toward the center of the lake (see diagram of
lake levels with estimates of soil removal in various areas)
SOIL REMOVAL PROCESS
Sherwood Forest has two contractors submitting proposals, both experienced in de-
silting lakes We hope to perform the de- silting during February 2013, when cold temperatures
may make it easier for the contractor to move within the lake bed The contractor will enter the
area from the northern shore, near a paved road with easy access to Highway 276, as shown on
the project map All removed silt will be hauled off -site in dump trucks
The proposed disposal sites at this time will be covered under a separate E &S plan or
under Agricultural Exemption Turf Mountain Sod is proposed by Edwards Landscaping as one
site, located on Wilson Road, dust off of Hwy 276 outside of Brevard, NC The other proposed
site is Stone Farm near Cedar Mountain, proposed by Jerry T Whitmire Grading as another site
It is located at 45 Stones Lake Lane in Cedar Mountain, NC The contractor chosen for the
project will be responsible for the transport and delivery of the lake sediment The disposal site
E &S will be provided by either Sherwood Forest Lakes and Dam Committee, the contractor or
the landowner, depending on the final site chosen Efforts are continuing to find a disposal site
closer to Sherwood Forest and this package will be amended if a suitable site is located The
Committee will insure that this permitting is done and that the site is well prepared An E &S
plan has been contracted for the lake site with Lapsley Engineering and will be submitted to the
agencies by the end of November
The contractor will need to build an access road into the lake, but because of past
activity in the lake, the remnants of such a structure remain He will then turn left (or east)
along the shore and will construct a roadbed in the lake, proceeding around the perimeter of the
lake The road will be constructed of appropriate materials and will be removed at the end of the
project The temporary roadbed will require an estimated 340 cu yds of fill for construction
The contractor will also use track mats and temporary culverts as needed to facilitate transit of at
least one large track hoe and several off -road dump trucks within the lakebed
The mayor challenge for the protect will be crossing Morgan Creek without interfering with
the flow of the creek The protect will use a temporary culvert of at least 20' length to cross the
creek, with soil buildup on either side of the culvert The other (small) creek will not be crossed, but
excavation will be carved out in front of the area where this creek enters the lake A long -reach track
hoe (75 -feet) will be positioned on the fairly shallow southern area of the lake, permitting excavation
of soil in front of this small creek This southwest comer of the lake will be the termination of the
work The other area of concern is the wet area in the northeast corner of the lake, and it may require
drainage using another temporary culvert, or track mats may suffice to negotiate this "soggy" area
We expect the work to take two to three weeks, depending on weather conditions and on the
equipment available to the contractor
WETLANDS PROTECTION
The U S Army Corp of Engineers (COE) concerns about wetland disturbances will be
addressed by only removing sediment from the current water level (normal pool level) and deeper
The excavation will leave any wetlands or emergent plants undisturbed We will not enter the two
streams that supply this lake nor disturb any existing wetlands
TROUT WATER AND TROUT BUFFER REQUIREMENTS
NC Wildlife Resources Commission staff were contacted about the protect and met to discuss
any possible impact and to address the Trout Moratorium that would be involved There were
questions about the species of trout that might be impacted and the length of the moratorium that
would be required NCWRC staff, David McHenry, completed a site survey on October 23, 2012
(see attached Email) and determined that no trout species would be impacted by this project and that
the trout moratorium could be waived based on his findings Sherwood Forest will be requesting this
waiver for the project
The Trout Buffer rules for the streams in Transylvania County are regulated by the Land
Resources Section under NC DENR and would be in force for this project After discussions with
Land Resources staff about the project and the description of the protect, it was determined that as
long as the Erosion and Sediment Control plans for the lake site are approved, then a Trout Buffer
waiver could be requested and granted for the project Sherwood Forest will be submitting a request
for a Trout Buffer waiver after the PCN and the E &S plans have been approved
WATER QUALITY CONCERNS
Below Trout Lake's dam, Morgan Creek proceeds quickly to Little River We will avoid
dischargmg turbid water into Little River by taking the following steps We will draw the lake
down carefully and observe its outflow continuously during the de- silting We will maintain the
natural course of Morgan Creek through the lakebed and traverse that course only over a culvert
We will maintain a residual deep a pool in the center of the lake to allow the settling of any
disturbed soil Perhaps most importantly, we will keep a sharp eye on the weather, and on any
turbidity that occurs, and we will close the dram preventatively if severe rainfall is predicted
While our Committee has considerable experience in dealing with both de- silting and
with dam repair, we will rely on the contractor to help monitor this process We will also be
working with our consultant, Barbara Wiggins, of Wiggins Environmental Services, both in the
plan for the project and in its execution Our Committee will monitor and prevent any increase
in turbidity more than 25 NTUs from the excavation project itself, and if the measures noted
above are not adequate, we will stop the work If we have concerns about downstream turbidity,
we will ask for consultation from our consultant
We will maintain adequate flow into the stream below the dam to protect wildlife in that
channel We are aware that NCWRC has concerns and involvement, and we are prepared to
address those issues as necessary
