Owners of land in the
Maxwell Creek area of south
antral Duplin County hope
to organize to reduce flood
*nd erosion in its watershed.
A committee composed of
Hubert Brown, Wendell
Kvans, Jimmy Stroud. J.P.
' mith, Ray Sanderson. J.H.
touse, Bobby Brown, Lara
>.enan, H.B. Hawking,
)liver Dobson, Joe Brock
nd Mike Brown was
ppointed last week during a
Janning meeting held Wed
nesday at Elder Chapel
hurch south of Kenansville.
iubert Brown was elected
emporary chairman.
A petition signed by 132
teople calling for the water
?.hed project was presented
:o the Soil Conservation Ser
.ice.
Maxwell Creek originates
n Ritters Pond, an old mill
x>nd near Johnson Church,
hree miles southeast of
Warsaw. It takes a mean
dering southeast course of
ibout 25 miles to empty into
he Northeast Cape Fear
Kiver about four miles north
>f Chinquapin and three
niles south of Hallsville. a
? traight-line distance of
tbout 14 miles.
Duplin County soil con
servationist Kenneth Futreal
istimated the main stream
ind its tributaries create
'bout 50 miles of waterway.
Futreal said the watershed
.?overs 48.370 acres, with
13,357 acres of forest and
15.013 in crops.
Landowners such as San
lerson of Rose Hill claim the
"reek and its tributaries
>verflow onto their woods
and cropland, killing trees
and crops as well as eroding
soil. The channels of the
creek and its branches are
clogged with silt and debris
from two centuries of farm
and forest operations.
"You need to understand
it would be a local project
with federal assistance, not a
federal project," said John
Garrett of the state Soil
Conservation Service staff in
Raleigh.
Under a law authorizing
federal participation in small
watershed projects, the U.S.
government finances 100
percent of the cost of flood
control in such projects and
up to 50 percent of the cost of
drainage and erosion control
work, Garrett said.
futreal told the group,
"We're here to find out what
you want. We'll help you
with your application, but
you will have to put the
application together.''
He said the application
must show the value of
benefits from the project to
be greater than the project's
cost before it can be con- 1
sidered by the Soil Conser- i
vat ion Service.
He also warned the land
owners that they would have
to donate all easements
needed for the project. Land
treatment measures would
also be required to reduce
the amount of runoff and silt
coming into the channels.
Futreal emphasized that
nothing can happen over
night. "We have 12 years of
time invested in the Lime
stone Creek project, and the
channel work is just begin
ning." he said.
The Limestone Creelf
watershed project is in
southeatern Duplin County.
