Public Hearing -Cliffs at High Carolina

by spccadmin
November 1st, 2008

As many of you know, Swannanoa Pride Community Coalition submitted a letter
to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and the US Army Corps of
Engineers citing concerns about stream, open water and wetland disturbance in
association with the development of the golf course at the Cliffs at High
Carolina. SPCC, along with many Swannanoa and Fairview residents and other
interested parties, also requested a public hearing be granted where community
concerns could be heard.

Please note that the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality has granted a public hearing in association with the Cliffs at
High Carolina’s application for a water quality certification. The hearing will
take place Tuesday, November 18, 2008 at 6:30 pm. at A.C. Reynolds High School,
1 Rocket Drive, Asheville, North Carolina, 28803. If you cannot be present for
public comment, you can submit a written comment.

Additional information
from the NCDWQ is below. Please feel free to contact me with questions or
concerns.

 All the best,
