SOIL &WATER <br /> <br />CONSERVATION <br /> <br />Cabarrus Soil and Water Conservation District <br />715 Cabarrus Avenue West · Concord, North Carolina 28027 <br /> <br /> Phone: (704) 792-0400 · Fax: (704) 795~6432 <br /> <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />SUBJECT: <br />COPIES: <br /> <br />Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners i~av' <br />Dennis E. Testerman, Resource Conservation Specialis <br />August 24, 1999 <br />Support for a Wildlife Resources Commission Stream Restoration Project <br />Matthew Kinane, Myra Neal Morrison, Tommy Porter <br /> <br />The Board of Supervisors of the Cabarms Soil and Water Conservation District and the members <br />of the Cabarrus County Watershed Improvement Commission request that you join them in <br />endorsing a grant proposal being submitted by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources <br />Commission to the North Carolina Clean Water Management Trust Fund to restore mussels <br />and/or snails to selected streams in the Piedmont region of the state. Rocky River in Cabarms <br />County is in one of the targeted rivers. Both the Soil and Water Conservation District and the <br />Watershed Improvement Commission have endorsed the following resolution: <br /> <br />We endorse the grant proposal by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources <br />Commission to the North Carolina Clean Water Management Trust Fund for <br />restoration of mussels and snails to selected Piedmont North Carolina streams. <br /> <br />This restoration project proposal is an outgrowth of aquatic systems research conducted by the <br />Wildlife Resources Commission. The Commission's staff recently completed a survey of <br />aquatic resources in Cabarrus County as part of a comprehensive, systematic inventory &the <br />natural heritage of Cabarms County. During their study, they identified otherwise healthy <br />streams that were lacking some species of common aquatic animals. Their proposal calls for <br />selected species of mussels and snails to be reintroduced to streams they likely once inhabited. <br /> <br />Cabarrus County can expect to benefit from this project in a number of ways. The species to be <br />reintroduced are important components of properly functioning aquatic ecosystems. In general, <br />mollusks serve to process nutrients within associated habitats, and healthy populations of filter <br />feeding mussels help reduce sediment-related turbidity, an important water quality parameter. <br />One of the most exciting aspects of the proposed project is a plan to utilize school students in this <br />restoration project. This dimension of this project will complement the district's conservation <br />education program. <br /> <br /> <br />
