Subject: RE: [External] RE: Request For Additional Information 438' Seawall at Dennis Lockhart
Residence - Transylvania - Lake Toxaway - Trout
Hi all,
I have reviewed the information sent to me about the Seawall at Lockhart Residence project, which involves
installing a new 438 -ft seawall and removing and replacing an existing boathouse, permanently
impacting 0.06 acre and temporarily impacting 0.01 acre of L. Toxaway in Transylvania County. The project
should not impact wild trout and a trout moratorium is not needed for this project.
We offer a few recommendations to minimize impacts to wildlife:
Please note that concrete should be allowed to completely cure (at least 24 hours) in the dry in order to
avoid dangerous pH levels in the lake.
Lakeshore stabilization should only be constructed if there is obvious and severe erosion; if there is, we
prefer that natural methods (bank sloping and bioengineering) be used instead of hardening.
The shoreline provides important habitat for wildlife. Fallen trees and other large woody debris along
the shoreline are especially important, providing cover for various sunfish, largemouth bass, and other
fishes in the lake. In addition, trees and shrubs above the waterline not only stabilize banks but also
serve as habitat for wildlife such as song birds. Large woody
debris should be left in place or moved temporarily and replaced after stabilization work is complete.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to review this project.
