So, we've looked this over and based on the data they have provided us, we conclude that the
entrainment/impingement activities are not significantly impacting Lake Norman. Moreover, the data provided suggests
no significantly measurable impacts occurring (as measured by the stability of the fishery and the presence of a balanced
and indigenous community). In addition, clupeid and white perch data (which are the most vulnerable species in the lake
subject to entrainment/impingement) further suggest that these populations continue to maintain a self-sustaining
population. Therefore, the data overall suggest that it is unlikely that operations at MSS are having a measurable impact
on these species or others.

Eric,
While you are reviewing the Marshall BIP study, I also need your help in looking at the 316b study. You can download
this study at this link -
https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/WaterResources/DocView.aspx?id=1959570&dbid=0&repo=WaterResources
This study has a significant biological component, that's where I need your input. Don't worry about the cost estimates
they present, I will evaluate them.
Thank you!
Sergei
