Sights and sounds of the 17-year Cicadas in the Beech Community. Warning: if you don’t like bugs, you probably don’t want to watch this video. You also probably don’t want to stand still around them with a video camera for any period of time, or you’ll be forced to edit the section of video where you scream because you realize one of them has landed on your shoulder.

Concrete Plant Hearing Adjourned

Published March 12th, 2008

Some news from our Flat Creek neighbors. Mountain Xpress is reporting the public hearing for the proposed concrete plant at Murphy Hill Road was adjourned due to “insufficient notification of the project’s neighbors.”

A proposed North Buncombe concrete plant hearing before the Buncombe County Board of Adjustment was adjourned after two hours of testimony due to insufficient notification of the project’s neighbors.

a March 12 hearing before the Board of Adjustment was cut short — after testimony from representatives of the plant and two opposing speakers — once it surfaced that letters notifying adjacent landowners of the hearing were mailed nine days earlier. By law, those letters had to be mailed at least 10 days before the hearing.

The adjournment means the process will start all over again with a new application from Blue Ridge Concrete. County Zoning Administrator Jim Coman told Xpress that discussions are underway to find a date for another hearing, but that Blue Ridge Concrete will not have to resubmit its application.

Video: Erosion

Published March 8th, 2008

A couple videos from YouTube Channel FBRiverKeeper, with descriptions and titles provided by him, showing some erosion issues around local development sites:

Erosion into Creek and Lake Louise

This site is dumping sediment into an unnamed tributary that flows into Lake Louise, a popular recreation area in Weaverville.

This is a clear turbidity violation and a violation of erosion control measures, because the site has not been maintained. Sediment is the largest polluter in the French Broad Watershed and the vast majority flow off new construction sites. Recent improvements have only marginally helped the problem.

This Walmart site in Weaverville, NC and shows a lack of erosion control that is depositing massive sediment pollution into Gill Branch and an unnamed tributary of Gill Branch.
