Mr. Mitchell,
Thanks for reviewing my application. As Mr. Warner indicated, the Town of Lake Lure will drawdown the lake 8 ft or
more this winter due to generator problems at the dam. The drawdown will begin Dec 1 and will remain down through
Mar 1. Based on the policy passed by our Marine Commission, no concrete may be poured in the lake bed after Jan 23.
This will still allow 5 weeks of curing time before the lake begins to rise.
In addition, I assure you that I personally will not allow any concrete to come in contact with the waters of Lake Lure.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Regards,
Stephen M. Webber

Mr. Mitchell,
They will be dropping the lake 8+ feet beginning Dec 1. The project will commence when the lake is
down sufficiently to allow for the concrete to be poured and cured without contact. If you need a
statement more official than this, please contact the owner.

Ki m,
I am in the process of reviewing the Shoreline Stabilization application for the subject property. A dry
stack boulder wall design is the preferred method of stabilization because it provides both energy

dissipation and interstitial spaces for wildlife habitat; however, I understand the need for the proposed
retaining wall is to protect an existing structure.
I did have one question for you regarding the footers for the wall. Can you explain how the permittee
will meet condition 8 of the water quality certification which states " if concrete is used during
construction, then all necessary measures shall be taken to prevent direct contact between uncured or
curing concrete and waters of the state? Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not
be discharged to waters of the state due to the potential for elevated PH and possible aquatic life/fish
kills."
Should you have any questions feel free to call me. Thank you.
