Jennifer,
I have reviewed the additional information, dated January 7, 2016, provided by ClearWater Environmental Consultants in
support of the subject project. The applicants have satisfied all of my concerns regarding the project.
Please note that the applicants are still under Notice of Violation (NOV-2015-PC-0230) for stream and wetland violations
associated with a failing slope. A response to the NOV, dated September 28, 2015, was received by the Asheville Regional
Office, and approved in a letter dated October 9, 2015 (see attached). Recent correspondence indicated that the slope
stabilization plan would be submitted to this office by the end of January.
Feel free to give me a call if you would like to discuss further.
