SOL CONSERVATION NEWS
By JAMES H. GRIFFIN. Soil Conservationist
What is a watershed? Whatj
does the small watershed act
(I'.L. 5661 mean to Chowan Coun
ty' people? How can people on
a watershed apply for assistance
in solving their major problems?
How much will it cost?
These and many other questions'
will- be answered at a public
meeting to be held Friday night,
September 12, at the Court House
in Edenton. The public is invit
ed to attend this meeting.
Mr. S. L. Daughtridge, area con
servationist, SCS will conduct the
meeting and answer questions
concerning the small watershed
act.
Under the small watershed act
(P.L. 566), landowners must want
the improvemenis. That means!
that they must organize together
to do a special job. It might be
to construct a channel or canal
on the major stream in their com
munity. For example, the land
owners in the Pollock Swamp
watershed might organize for the
purpose of doing the necessary
drainage work improvement
needed. This improvement work
might be the main stream and
any other ditches in the water
shed where two or more persons
share the benefits.
After the watershed is organiz-:
ed the group then makes appli
cation for Federal funds to assist
them in doing the project. An
agreement is entered into between
the group and the Federal gov
ernment. This. agreement states
what each party (local people and
government) will provide. An
example is the Folly Ditch Drain
age District in Gates County.
This group was offered 66 perj
cent on the total cost by the Fed
eral Government leaving 33',2 per
cent for the local peopla The
Gates County project was entirely
drainage (7.4 miles of new chan
nel). Federal funds on this pro
ject will be used for clearing the 1
rjght-of-way and for digging the;
new channel at the rate of 2/3
the cost, local people providing
1 / 3 of the cost. P.L. 566 is not a j
Federal project with local assist- 1
arr’but a local project with Fed
eral assistance. Local people j
must act on their own to get as-,
sistance under the small water
shed program.
•The purpose of this meeting is,
to give the facts to the people
and let them take their own ac-]
tion. Chowan County supervis-i
ors of the Albemarle Soil Con-'
servation District will ass : st the
local groups and so will the agri
cultural workers in the county
