Questions from Middleton Homeowners Page 2 <br /> <br />m <br /> <br />Significant change in a flood plain boundary could even prohibit any construction. Each <br />instance would vary with the circumstances involved and the degree of change. <br /> <br />What is the impact of flooding on the community well? <br /> <br />It is my understanding that the community well is operated under a private utility company. <br />The North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources (Division of <br />Environmental Management) oversees public and private utility functions within the State. <br />That local office needs to be contacted directly at (704) 663-1699 0Moomsville Regional <br />Office, Public Water Section). <br /> <br />Who are the appropriate agency contacts for flood related matters (State and <br />Federal)? <br /> <br />(See "Attachment G") <br /> <br />Who is responsible for cleaning and maintaining the creeks (flood prone areas) of <br />the County? <br /> <br />Them is no specific agency or level of local government responsible for creek maintenance. <br />Areas around bridges, culverts and in designated drainage ditches may qualify as a <br />responsibility of the North Carolina Department of Transportation. <br /> <br />The Cabarrus County Soil and Water Conservation District has general responsibility for <br />oversight of drainage basins within the County subject to budgetary limits. <br /> <br />Who is responsible for control of storm water run off?. <br /> <br />In most cases the control and/or diversion of storm water run off.is an issue between property <br />owners. Them are State regulations regarding control for erosion and sediment control <br />purposes. (The 1997-98 County budget proposes that these regulations begin to be <br />administered at the County level rather than through the State office of the DEHNR in <br />Mooresville.) <br /> <br />10. How are issues related to public safety during flooding addressed? <br /> <br />The County's Emergency Management Coordinator along with the County Sheriff, EMS, <br />volunteer fire departments, the North Carolina Department of Transportation and local <br />municipal agencies all coordinate responses. Efforts are underway to enhance direct <br />communication between all agencies (new 800 MHz radio system) and expand capabilities. <br />However, depending on individual circumstances and the severity ora flood problem, all of <br />these agencies have operational limitations. <br /> <br /> <br />
