r f ? N
We have completed a review of the above North Shore Road Project which, will traverse the shoreline of Lake
Fontana From our review we offer the following comments
1 As proposed this mayor road project will impact water quality along the shoreline and into Lake Fontana,
which is a source of drinking water supply for the Fontana Village Resort community
2 Although this Environmental Assessment does address source water impacts, this assessment does not
address direct impacts to this drinking water source Should the "Southern-Fontana Dam" option be
chosen, there is a chance that direct water quality impacts could occur very near this water supply
intake
3 It is not apparent what direct impacts may occur to the Fontana Village Resort water source with each --
option that is proposed and what actions may be taken to better protect the drinking water source
