Cabarrus <br />County and the State of North Carolina have invested a great deal of <br />money and time into the restoration of wetlands behind Cox Mill <br />Elementary School. Clarke Creek is a Significant Natural Heritage Area <br />and is of particular value for the regionally important wetland located <br />there. The Natural Heritage Inventory was a study funded by the Board of <br />Commissioners in 2002. New development threatens the health of this <br />significant heritage area. Additional development adds more runoff that <br />contains contaminants that threaten the health of this fragile environment. <br />The Soil and Water Conservation District Board is requesting that the <br />Board of Commissioners join them in adopting the attached resolution to <br />further the protection of this highly valued area. <br />REQUESTED ACTION: <br />Motion to adopt resolution. <br />EXPECTED LENGTH OF PRESENTATION: <br />SUBMITTED BY: <br />Dennis Testerman, Senior Resource Conservationist <br />BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: <br />F -8 Page 109 <br />
