Title A name given to the resource Historical Newspaper Clippings Description An account of the resource Collection of newspaper clippings of articles pertaining to historic floods in Western North Carolina (including the Floods of 1916, 1928, 1940, 1949, 1972, 1973, and 2004) originally published in regional newspapers such as the Asheville Citizen-Times (and its predecessors, the Asheville Citizen and the Asheville Times).

Title A name given to the resource Flood Control Projects to be Considered Description An account of the resource Article describes a committee being formed to review flood control plans for the area. Representatives from local government agencies and other civic organizations are chosen to staff the committee. The TVA has agreed to assist the committee in carrying out the plans. Sites for reservoirs have been suggested, but no survey has been conducted yet. The project as a whole is estimated to cost upwards of $10 million. At the meeting, a speaker suggests that major floods in the region occur with some regularity--the past three largest floods were roughly 12 years apart from one other. The speaker then suggests two methods for flood control; protecting property in the areas immediately affected by flooding, or restraining the flow of the flood itself to limit its impact. The speaker states that a combination of these two methods is best, and uses the Miami river valley in Ohio as an example of how combining the methods can work. Asheville's need for flood control methods is dire--a proper study on the "flood problem" has never been conducted, as far as the speaker is aware. The speaker suggests that the study could be based upon the preexisting records of the extent of the previous floods, such as the heights of the flood crests and how much rainfall there was before and during the flood. The Swannanoa river, Hominy creek, Mills river, and French Broad river are cited as the best places to build "Flood-storage" reservoirs, however the cost of this endeavor is unknown. Lastly, the speaker suggests that "if the people of Asheville desire to push flood control protection", a committee needs to be formed to discuss the matter with the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Title A name given to the resource High Waters Emphasize Need for Flood Control Description An account of the resource Front page article talks about a report created by the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1942 regarding flood control in Western North Carolina. The report itself, referencing a survey of the area, recommends the building of 7 reservoirs and an 'earthen levee'. The US Weather Bureau reports that the cause of these periodic disastrous floods is from hurricanes and other tropical disturbances coming up from the Caribbean. The plans to build these reservoirs and the levee were put off due to the war, but a desire to act on the program is still present. Western North Carolina is at such a high risk of flooding because most of the level areas good for building upon are in the valleys alongside streams and rivers; streams and rivers which are liable to flood. The report from the TVA contained a complete survey of the records of past floods, a study on how much money the area was losing due to slowed development due to fears of floods, a study on how much the periodic floods had 'depressed' the value of the land, a study to determine when the next flood would be likely to arrive, a plan for progressive flood control to minimize damages, and development of regional partnerships to carry out the plan. Two plans were proposed based on this report; the Regional Plan and the Asheville-Only Plan. Both plans involve "the stabilization of the run-off by forest coverage" to prevent rainwater from immediately flowing to streams and causing them to overflow their banks. The plans also involve the use of detention basins. How detention basis work, their benefits, and the reactions of farmers to them is printed here. The findings of TVA engineers regarding past floods are printed here. Floods in 1876, 1906, 1928, and both floods of 1940 are listed. They also found patterns in the floods, such as them occurring in the summer or early fall, and that most of the damages in these floods are primarily agricultural, industrial, and transportation infrastructure. The full cost of the construction of the reservoirs and detention basin is cited at $9,000,000; however, this estimate is expected to have risen since it was first proposed in 1942. The regional plan recommends the building of all seven reservoirs, while the Asheville-Only plan only suggests the construction of reservoirs at Azalea and Britton Mountain, and that a shorter levee be constructed. Other plans are proposed to protect Marshall and lower the flood risk of Hominy Creek and the Pigeon River. Regardless of which plan is followed, it has to go through the Federal Government and receive the funding it needs. The article is accompanied by two pictures of the same house in Fibreville. The picture on the left is from the flood of 1940, and the picture on the right is from the flood of 1949. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource C. R.

Title A name given to the resource Too Destructive: French Broad Plan Irks Description An account of the resource Printed letter from a reader of the Citizen discusses the author's opposition to the TVA's proposed flood control plans for Western North Carolina counties. He argues that the creation of the Upper French Broad Economic Development Commission and that the dams the TVA proposes are unnecessary. He states that the UFBEDC is a 'tax burden' on locals, and that it won't fix the floods, despite it and the TVA's efforts to convince the public otherwise.

Title A name given to the resource TVA Engineers to Study Flood Control Project Description An account of the resource Article describes how maps of areas hit hardest during the recent flood have been made, along with two proposed sites for flood control dams. Asheville and the TVA are working together to dicuss the construction of the dams at a yet-to-be determined date. According to the plan, one dam would be built at the north fork of the Swannanoa River, and the other would be built in Bee Tree Creek. If built according to plan, the dams would both remove the risk of flooding from the Swannanoa River valley, but also serve as reservoirs. It's also been suggested that the dams could be used for generating hydroelectric power.

Description An account of the resource Article explains that people in the upper French Broad River Basin and surrounding areas don't believe that a flood like the one in 1916 could happen again, as there "has not really been a catastrophic flood since that time". This incorrect belief is part of the reasoning behind the opposition to the implementation of the TVA's flood control plan from the 1940s. The author then compares tropical storm Agnes to the storm that caused the 1916 flood. They state that the Upper French Broad area was 'lucky' that the storm hadn't hit harder. The author also argues non-flood related benefits of the reservoirs, saying that they would create "new water resources for homes and industry and new recreation areas." The author ends by stating that the homeowners that oppose the construction of the reservoirs are a loud minority, and that other homeowners shouldn't be swayed by what they say.
