Norlh Carolina Deparlment of <br /> Nai-dral & Econo, mic Resources <br /> JAMES E, HOLSHOLISER. JR.. GOVERNOR · JAMES E. HARRINGTON, SECRETARY <br /> Route 1, Box 72A, Mt. Holly, N.C. 28120 <br /> .................... September 16, 1983 <br /> <br /> Cabarrus County Conmissioners <br /> c/o Mr. Charles McGinnis <br /> County Manager <br /> P.O. Box 707 <br /> Concord, N.C. 28025 <br /> <br /> Dear Sirs: <br /> <br /> 1 have recently examined the Cabarrus County landfill which you are interested <br /> in plantiRg in pines. <br /> <br /> If you are interested in erosion control, I recommend pla~ting improved Vir- <br />ginia pines. If you anticipate using this for wood production, I recommend planting <br />Loblolly pines. Prices for both are on the attached sheet. <br /> <br /> This area can, be divided into three basic..portions; <br /> <br /> 1) the upen field <br /> 2) the main landfill area <br /> 3) the slope next to present landfill <br /> <br />Options for planting these areas are as follows: <br /> <br />1) Bushog areas 1 and 2 and machine plant pine seedlings <br />2) 8ushc9 area 1 and chemically spray area 2 with herbicides, followed by <br /> planting <br /> <br />Area 3, which is on a steep slope will need to be planted by hand. <br /> <br /> The scattered grasses and weeds present in all three areas will make them <br />susceptible to rodent damage. To reduce this, I reco~nend planting an increased <br />number of seedlings per acre (800 instead of 600), and m~wing between the rows <br />each summer. <br /> <br /> Due to the difficulty of planting landfills iR pine seedlings, we cannot <br />guarantee survival of these seedlings. <br /> If you are interested in plaoting these areas with county personnei or local <br />crews, seedlings are available from our Oivision at the following prices: <br /> <br /> Improved Loblolly Pines $24/1000 <br /> Improved Virginia Pines $23/1000 <br /> Regular Loblolly Pines $16/1000 <br /> <br /> If you have fm'ther questions concerning this, please contact nm at 704/ <br /> 827-7576. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Laura F. Nackey "~_~'~-~ <br /> <br /> II <br /> <br /> <br />
