RE: Smoky Mountain Country Club
Swain County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Dorney:
Please find enclosed seven (7) copies of an application for NWP No. 13, signed and dated, a location
map of the overall project area. Also enclosed is a plan of the project showing the location of the proposed
irrigation intake and standard details.
In general, this project will consist of a 3.0'x 3.0' precast concrete box to be installed in the stream bank
at the location shown on the plan. Sandbags will be placed in the stream during construction to minimize
any impact on the stream. Rip-rap will be placed along the stream bank on either side of the intake to
prevent the erosion of the bank. There will be no permanent structures within the stream bed. During a
conversation with David Yow, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, there was some concern about
the possibility of fertilizer and/or chemical run-off being concentrated in the proposed pond and affecting
the water quality in Wesser Fork. The grading plan for the proposed irrigation pond will eliminate practically
all run-off from entering the pond. Furthermore, the discharge will be released into the wetland area, 500
± feet downstream from the intake, which parallels Wesser Fork, rather than directly into the stream. This
should allow any difference in water temperature to be adjusted before the water from the pond re-enters
Wesser Fork.
Application for NWP No. 13 is being submitted to David Baker of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for
their approval.
