They might as well store that nervous
energy until spring, though.
While the first drop in a number of
years on the Bruaswick County
Fishing Club reef off I xick wood's Folly
Inlet could occur in the very near
future, other proposed drops on six
new reef sites and one other existing
site may lie a while in coming as the
state grapples with a new problem,
one of abundance: how to allocate 200
boxcars and a $300,000 from the
General Assembly that will to help
turn them into artificial reefs all
along the coast.
"I don't think any (boxcars) will be
dropped this year," said Jim Tyler,
spokesman for the N.C. Division of
Marine Fisheries. "It looks slim at
this point."
Efforts to sort out the reef program
at the state level, said Marine
Fisheries Chairman John Costlow,
should not delay existing projects in
Brunswick County.

Allowing cars to (Mirk on the sandy

A etofiit.' rorwipt nn thn ortifioial roof
program is on the agenda for the
Dec. 11 meeting of the Marine
Fisheries Commission at the Duke
Marine lab at Beaufort, the commission's
chairman. Dr John Costlow,
confirmed Monday.
"The discussion is largely to update
as on where we are. We arc
making an effort to identify criteria
to be used in selection of reef sites."
Costlow said he was not aware that
there were organizations that
already had permits in hand to drop

certain how they will fit into the
discussion.
In any ease, he doesn't expect the
board to take action at its December
meeting.
Once a set of criteria is proposed
and the commission has the information
it needs to discuss the program,
then the matter will go to public hearing,
he said.
The board's recreational management
committee, led by John
Graham of Elizabeth City, is in
charge of the Dec. 11 presentation.

munities had been on their own when
it came to establishing the reefs.
However, the donation of boxcars
from -So?ho?*rd System?, with the
potential of more in the future, and a
flurry of filings for permits in the
wake of that announcement, prompted
the state to take a closer look.
Bids To Come
Brown is working up bid specifications
for state contracts to drop the
boxcar material either as a package
deal statewide or site by site, Tyler
said.

McDowell, secretary of the
Brunswick County Fishing Club, said
the club is inviting marine firms to
bid on its own Ixjckwood Folly Inlet
project, with one alternate. Pfizer
Chemicals Inc. in Southport has
donated two boilers that have been
cut into four 30-ton pieces ready for
Hrnnnjnu Parh fnmrianv wil) fap nsked
to bid one price for providing a
barge that the material will be welded
to and dropping the whole works
on the reef. This preferred method
will provide an extra-large profile to
attract fish. The alternate bid will be
to drop the material off a barge and
return the barge to shore.
The U.S. Military Ocean Terminal
at Sunny Point is cooperating in the
venture. The boilers will be moved by
rail from Pfizer to the Army docks
and loaded onto the barge.
The Brunswick County Fishing
Club, on behalf of the Ixmg Bay Artificial
Keef Association, already had
permits for six new reefs in hand at
the time the boxcar material was
donated to the state. Members had
every expectation, said fishing club
secretary Dale McDowell, that
Brunswick County stood at the head
of the line to receive some boxcars.
Unlike other areas of the coast,
Brunswick County lias no "live"
reefs, ft docs tiave two sanded-over
and disintegrating reefs? the club
reef and another off Oak Island.
The l.ong Bay Artificial Reef
Association, which includes the county's
three fishing clubs, is also trying
to obtain a 105-fecl vessel owned by
the U.S. Army ('.orps of engineers
and the superstructures of swing
bridges soon to be torn down at
Ocean Isle Beach and Holdcn Beach.
Boxcars Wailing
Approximately 150 of the donated
boxcars arc piled at the Davis
railyard in Navassn, awaiting final
clearance from environmental agencies
concerned a Unit paint used on
the cars and possible chemical
leaching of materials hauled ui the
cars. A team uiat Included state am!
federal uffieiaLs inspected the cars
several weeks ngo to identify potential
problems, but lias nut scheduled
the return visit required to sign off
approval,
"They have to be satisfied," said
Tyler. "To my knowledge they have
not resolved it yet They have nothing
scheduled
"Things never go as fast as you
think lliey should, but the division is
trying to do it right This is a new
