Monetary Settlement plus Laurel Branch Picnic area, which is unrelated to the North Shore Road and already included in the General Management Plan.

In addition to the cash settlement, we support the construction of a picnic area and a suitable heritage center at the Laurel Branch site, adjacent to the tunnel. If this site within the Park is not suitable we would suggest that the Federal Government explore ways to fund a heritage center on the south side of Lake Fontana off NC Hwy. 28.

Merge Laurel Branch option with Monetary Settlement. Only way to make Laurel Branch make sense. Laurel Branch itself does not satisfy agreement. What happens though to the management plan which includes the building of Laurel Branch if Laurel Branch is rejected? This is why Laurel Branch should be merged with the Monetary Settlement.
