Comments on draft permit Lake Norman Woods, NCO071528: The draft permit Section A (2) Special Notification lists
Lincoln County and Rowan County as being downstream of the facility. Rowan County is in the Yadkin basin, and Lincoln
County is on the far western side of lake Norman from the facility and would not get downstream flow from the main
stem of the Catawba River. Iredell County is not listed and is the closest downstream county. Thanks JL
