Re: Project 2698-033 East Fork
Project 2686-032 West Fork
My name is Mary Jo Cobb and I am representing T.J. Krueger and the Upper Region of
the Tuckasegee River from the East and West Forks down to Cullowhee.
I oppose the Dillsboro Dam removal. Duke Power has not shown proper maintenance of
the plant or the river. They have been BAD stewards environmentally of the area rivers
and lakes. Another example is the Upper Tuckasegee. This is a public river with no
water for daytime activities. Why should we be deprived of water? Some will say it is
the drought, but I know it is Duke Power and that they cater to the down river businesses.
It is important for the welfare of down river business, but why not share the water so the
Upper area can be prosperous too? We need water for the fishermen, canoeing and
kayaking for such parties as WCU, Camp Merrywood and for the tourist business and the
local citizens.
Duke has agreed to build put-in's below Cedar Cliff Dam, upgrade the lovely East
LaPorte Park and Cullowhee Dam, but with great irony-we have water access, but NO
water to use them! I have been an "intervener" and "stakeholder" with this and other
issues and have given FERC copies of petitions with almost 300 signatures showing that I
am not alone.
I will be happy to discuss my issues and solutions with any party that cares about the
"other part of the river."
Sincerely, ~ ,/
