Jim *DKULQJ1RVXUSULVH Land Harbor has experienced some backups of sewage into our homes because of grease build up in the sewer lines. Obviously this is distressing to those affected and also very expensive to repair and clean up. Grease builds up in the lines and comes from products we use for cooking; shortening, oils, butter, margarine, meat and food fats, sauces and dairy products. When washed down the sinks, grease sticks to the insides of the sewer pipes (both on your property and in the streets). Over time, it can totally block the entire pipe. What can you do to help and protect your property? 1. Never pour grease down the sink drain or into toilets. Instead put it in a collection container. 2. Scrape grease and food scraps into a can or the trash for disposal. 0D\-XQH 3. Put baskets/strainers in sink drains to catch food scraps and other solids and empty them into the trash. 4. Speak with your friends and neighbors about how to keep grease out of the sewers. While I am on the subject of protecting your homes I want to pass on concerns of some residents regarding the possibility of Radon in our homes. Of course there is a possibly of Radon everywhere. It is throughout our entire country and certainly is not isolated in our area or just in the Appalachians Region. While Radon is not acceptable and can be dangerous to your health, it is easily detected and corrected. A simple home test kit is available and will provide you with an answer if you have a concern. Our General Manager, Mike Simpson, has considered a presentation regarding Radon to all interested members if time permits this season. *ROIHUV GRQ·W IRUJHW WKHUH LV D call box on the ninth tee for placing an RUGHU DW WKH WK +ROH &DOO DKHDG DQG have your order waiting for you.

Apparently there is not a day when something or someone does not present some matter connected with the dam. Land Harbor ÀUVW WKRXJKW ZH KDG VRPH WLPH WR FRUUHFW RXU SUREOHPV and we moved accordingly. Now we are increasingly aware that we may not have anywhere near the time we thought. Last winter we again drained the lake for more engineering and exploration. We employed a experienced DQG UHVSHFWHG FRQWUDFW HQJLQHHU -& %XPJDUQHU ZLWK Pinnacle Engineering, who came up with three possible DSSURDFKHVWRPDNLQJWKHGDPDFFHSWDEOHWR1RUWK&DUROLQD VWDWHRIÀFLDOV Mr. Bumgarner concluded that we had more than a few problems and the dam was indeed demanding our immediate DWWHQWLRQDQGUHSDLU:KLOHKHGLGVD\ZHFRXOGWU\WR´À[ what we have at a cost of $400,000 plus,” he indicated this might be an effort in futility. The concrete on the spillway and piers is in such poor condition that in removing enough of the existing bad concrete to replace it could create a total collapse. Even if we were successful, this solution might last only 10 to 20 years. We could replace everything and rebuild completely . Another alternative would be to build a Labyrinth Weir with a maintenance free slide gate. A Labyrinth Weir would require considerable space for ZDWHUÁRZDSSUR[LPDWHO\WRIHHW%XLOGLQJWKLV would require over 2000 cubic yards of concrete estimated DWDERXWÀYHKXQGUHGGROODUVSHUFXELF\DUG:HZRXOGKDYH to construct a sliding gate that would be would be four to six feet wide but this could be maintenance free. Whatever solution Land Harbor adopts, we must have a spill basin down stream from the dam to safely disperse the force of the water. The engineering report did say the earthen portion of our dam is satisfactory and the gates are in fair shape, considering their age, but the most fearsome danger is if the water in the lake rises more than one foot. If this were to happen, the 6WDWHRI1RUWK&DUROLQDIHDUVDSRWHQWLDOZDVKRXWRIKLJKZD\ 221 in Pineola and even a loss of life all the way down to Altamont. We are being reminded by the state that our lake is considered small but it is the drainage catch for a large area in excess of 25 square miles. A complete engineering report IURP3LQQDFOHLVRQRXUZHEVLWHwww.linvillelandharbor. com,QHDUO\0DUFKWKH+HDGRIWKH1RUWK&DUROLQD'DP Safety Division said the state “considers the Linville Land Harbor dam to be the number one concern in the state 3DJH relating to a potential catastrophic event.”7KHVWDWHRIÀFHU DOVR IHOW RXU HQJLQHHULQJ ÀUP KDV QRW PDLQWDLQHG HQRXJK FRPPXQLFDWLRQV ZLWK KLV RIÀFH :KHQ 0LNH 6LPSVRQ responded that we were looking at a time frame of perhaps 12 months with a start up date of fall, 2008 at the earliest 0LNHZDVLQIRUPHGWKDW´ZDVXQDFFHSWDEOHµDQG´RQFHZH submitted a plan” the state “would pull all Dam Safety Staff off other projects so they can expedite the approval process of our dam.” But with repeated meetings with the state and with the a presentation by Schnabel Engineering, on March 30, WKH VWDWH RIÀFLDOV PRGHUDWHG DQG H[SUHVVHG FRRSHUDWLRQ Schnabel offered a target date of September, 2007 to give the state a presentation of analysis and their recommendation.

Meanwhile, during the fall and winter of 2007/2008, the staff and board will be doing due diligence with the goal of providing construction and funding options. 2QFH WKH GHFLVLRQ LV PDGH RI ZKDW WR GR 6FKQDEHO Engineering must submit construction plans to the state for approval. The target date is summer of 2008 (Mike Simpson feels it will be late summer or fall of 2008.) When WKHVWDWHUHFHLYHVWKHSODQVWKHUHDUHDPLQLPXPRIÀYHVWDWH and federal agencies that will review the plans. Land Harbor has installed a lake level monitor that records lake levels 24 hours a day and a dialer that calls our police department, maintenance and our GM if the lake rises or lowers six inches. We have developed an Emergency Action Plan to respond once this occurs to maintain the lake level at an acceptable level for the state. This, no doubt, has bought Land Harbor valuable time. In summary, Mike Simpson feels we have developed an excellent rapport with the state and EURXJKWWKHPLQDV part of our team. Mike feels very good that “Land Harbor, WKH6WDWHRI1RUWK&DUROLQDDQG6FKQDEHOFDQZRUNWRJHWKHU and the future will be positive and without surprises for anyone.” At the BOD meeting on May 11, the Board declared an Emergency condition exists in Land Harbor and approved a contract with Schnabel Engineering, not to exceed $125,000, to continue working on plan options. Schnabel Engineering will give property owners a slide presentation at the Saturday, June 9, Information Meeting at 10:00 AM in the Recreation Center. In addition to the untold number of hours Mike Simpson spends on the dam problems, our Board of Directors constantly receives and studies updates and we have a very DFWLYH'DP&RPPLWWHHFRQVLVWLQJRIDennis Ellenwood, Charlie Sims, Steve Hunt, Jim Gahring, Jim Watson and Mike Simpson. 0D\-XQH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Community picnic June 9 The menu will consist of barbecue, beans, cole slaw, hush puppies (some of the best you have ever put in your mouth), banana pudding, short cake, iced tea and lemonade.

The Board Members voted as follows: Approved: Chuck Abrams, Rose Cole, Dennis Ellenwood, Jimmy Goodwin, Phin Horton, Warren Kempf, Charlie Sims, Jeff Troy and Jim Watson. Comments from Board Members: 1)Chuck Abrams- I am voting to approve the additional $5,000 for the Employee Christmas Fund under protest. I do not want to make the employees pay the price for the Board not putting the proper funds in the 2006 Budget after adding $5,000 to the fund for 2005. In fact it is not in the 2007 Budget at this time. We need to revise the 2007 Budget before we get into the same position in 2007. Making this decision after most of the people have left for the winter looks underhanded. I will make a recommended change to our policy DWWKHÀUVWIXOO%RDUG0HHWLQJGXULQJ 2007. 2)Rose Cole-Well deserved! 3)Phin Horton-I am voting yes so the employees will receive the same amount as last year. I object to the concealing of the amounts donated last year and this year which is misleading to the Directors. 4)Warren Kempf-I am voting yes only because to do otherwise would hurt our valued employees. I am dead set opposed to this constant manipulation of the budget (this and the 2 golf employees, etc.) especially when it comes when 80% of the membership is absent. We can and must do better. _______________________ POLL TO BOARD MEMBERS REGARDING APPROVAL OF BUILDING PERMIT FOR DAVE 6+(5:22'·672:1+286( PROJECT February 15, 2007 The poll on the above matter which was circulated February 15, 2007 by Mike Simpson, General Manager resulted in a majority vote of the Board Members to issue the Building Permit for this project upon receipt of the engineered plans for a wooden retaining wall and all changes from the engineered plans RQÀOHWREHLQLWLDOHGGDWHGDQGZLWK an appropriate mailing address from Mr. Sherwood.

He explained that sometimes between the times that the HVWLPDWHV IRU WKH URDG SDYLQJ DUH ÀJXUHG and when the actual paving is done that WKH DPRXQWV FRXOG EH GHÀQLWHO\ GLIIHUHQW and that this would allow POA to charge the actual cost.

Old Business A. Dam 1. Contract Negotiation 2. Report on Dam 3. Emergency Spillway Mr. Mark Landis of Schnabel Engineering presented a power point to the Board of potential alternatives of replacement and/ or repairs of the Land Harbor Dam. The dam is going to have to be replaced and/or repaired as required by the State of North Carolinaís Department of Environmental and Natural Resources. Land Harbor has been presented with a contract with Schnabel Engineering to give an analysis of the dam and to come up with the best possible way to repair or replace the dam. Jim Watson moved to accept the contract with Schnabel for $119,000 and not to exceed $125,000 unless approved by 0D\-XQH Land Harbor, which would cover any sub-contractors. Getting the engineering work done for the State is considered an emergency with the money being transferred from the R & M-Dam line item to the Contract Services-Engineering for Dam and Bridges. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously. Jim Watson gave a brief presentation on his approach to the replacement and/or repairs to the dam. VIII. New Business A. Charitable Contributions Removed from the agenda B.

The motion was seconded and passed unanimously. D. Consecutive Tee Times Dennis Ellenwood introduced into discussion that we could get consecutive tee times without any additional charge from Comp-U-Serve and that the computerized tee time would tell you if the consecutive tee times you were requesting were available and if not, it would tell you when they were available. Dennis Ellenwood moved to make any changes necessary to allow people to get two consecutive tee times. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously. IX.
