Also in attendance at the meeting was state Senator Warren Daniel. The sole topic of our discussion was Cleveland County's desire to build a dam and create a reservoir on the First Broad River. This proposed project is currently going through the Environmental Impact statement process under the guidance of Henry wicker. The Cleveland County representatives are extremely concerned with what they feel is their uphill and costly struggle in order to acquire the necessary 404 Permit for this proposed impoundment. I want to be very clear that they do not have concerns about Henry's performance in this matter. I have been a party to many of these discussions and Henry has done an outstanding and professional job in handling this difficult assignment. However, they expressed a desire to be able to state their case for the approval of the 404 Permit, from their perspective, to someone higher in the chain of command. Accordingly, they asked if I would be willing to contact you on their behalf and see if you, Ken, and Henry would be willing to meet with their delegation, in your offices in Wilmington, to discuss their 404 Permit application and the associated Environmental Impact statement. If such a meeting can be arranged they also expressed a desire to conduct the meeting on a Friday, as that would facilitate their travel arrangements. Please let me know if you would be willing to have such a meeting and then I can ask the Cleveland County reps to get in touch with Patricia to make the necessary arrangements. Thank you.
