00194220 - 9445 Watershed Improvement Commission <br /> <br />Funds were originally requested for stream restoration and planning for stormwater <br />management planning. Several stream restoration projects are in the planning stages; <br />however they were not ready for implementation in PY 1998. <br /> <br />Stormwater management planning was discussed at the May 19, 1998 meeting of the <br />Watershed Improvement Commission. Staff from Cabarrus County and the cities of <br />Concord and Kannapolis participated in this discussion. The groups jointly agreed to <br />convene again after guidelines for phase II of the federal stormwater regulations are <br />released. This group felt it was premature to engage the services of a consultant to help <br />develop stormwater management program until these guidelines are released. Because <br />the cities of Concord and Kannapolis have budgeted funds for stomiwater management <br />and because they are also interested in a countywide stormwater management plan, <br />county funds also need to be budgeted for this purpose. <br /> <br />00194210-9445 Natural Heritage Survey <br /> <br />The field season for the heritage survey coincides with the growing season from March <br />through the fall, and is therefore out of sync with the county fiscal year. The <br />subcontractor focusing on wildlife is a college professor who is working during the <br />summer break. Payment on a $5,000 contract with the state Wildlife Resources <br />Commission is pending the receipt of a report on their survey of aquatic resources. A <br />portion of the budgeted funds has been reserved for writing and disseminating a natural <br />heritage report. County funds will be matched 1:1 the state. <br /> <br /> <br />
