Combines Mean More Acres Mapped
When the fall harvest gets
started it means the busiest
sesason of the year is here
for our local soil survey
party. The soil survey party,
consisting of three soil
scientists, is making soil
maps of all land in Chowan
and Perquimans counties.
Phil Tant, party leader and
soil scientist Robert Ranson
are stationed at the Area 5
Soil Conservation Service
office in Edenton. Soil
scientist John Scott has an
office in Hertford at the
district Soil Conservation
Service Office.
These men like to see the
combines harvesting corn
because they know it means
more acres mapped in a
day’s work. Party leader
Phil Tant says: “The
combines really open up the
land for us. We can see the
lay of the land much better
and with the crops off the
land we can use the all
terrain cycles to cover
ground much faster and
more thoroughly.” The all

terrain cycle (ATC for
short) is a compact 3-wheel
motor cycle which is seeing
increased use in soil survey
work across eastern North
Carolina.
Each soil scientist makes
borings as he goes across
the land noting the color,
texture (sandy to clayey)
and drainage class of each
site. From these and other
soil features he identifies
the soil type into one of 34
soil series used in Chowan
and Perquimans counties.
He records his findings on
an aerial photo and later
draws a map on the
photograph which outlines
the location of the various
soil types (or series) in that
part of the county.
If you would like soil in
formation in Chowan or
Perquimans Counties
contact Tony Short.
Soil information is
available to everyone
through your local Soil &
Water Conservation
District. Anyone interested
should contact District
Conservationist Tony Short
in Hertford (426-5545) or Soil
Conservation Technician
Stanton Harrell in Edenton
(482-4127).

CRC Endorses Land Development Proposal
The Coastal Resources
Commission has endorsed a
proposal for developing
oceanfront land otherwise
deemed. unsuitable for
building because of local
and state regulations. At its
August 28-29 meeting in
Caswell Beach, the CRC
granted a variance from its
oceanfront setback
requirements for a proposed
mini-campground because
the plan will not endanger

Barbee,, Jr., of Yaupon
' Beach, must still obtain
local permission.
In other permit actions,
the commission upheld
issuing a CAMA major
development permit to
Quail Woods Access Cor
poration, New Hanover
County, to construct a boat
ramp and dock. The CRC
granted a partial variance
from oceanfront setback
regulations to Shell Island
Development Corporation,
New Hanover County,
contingent on changes in its
subdivision proposal.
It granted a variance
from estuarine development
standards to the N. C.
Seafood Industrial Park
Authority to pave the area
between planned buildings
and the harbor bulkhead.
The authority proposed to
drain the paved area into
the harbor basin by using
storm sewers.
In other actions, the
Coastal Resources Com
mission set priorities for
revising its building stan
dards in coastal areas of
environmental concern
(AECs). In the coming year,
the commission will look at
refining its standards on
oceanfront setbacks,
oceanfront bulkheading,
inlet area development,
beach access, marina and
canal construction and
necessary public trust water
shoreline AEC designation.
The commission will also
examine more detailed
standards for reducing the
adverse effects of permitted
coastal development.
The commission adopted
Coastal Area Management
Act (CAMA) regulations on
civil penalty notification
procedures, modified
erosion rates for a one-mile'
oceanfront area south of
Nags Head and adopted an
interim rule permitting
immediate repairs to storm
damaged structures up to 50
per cent of their assessed
value.
The CRC will send several
proposed amendments to
CAMA regulations to public
hearing. One proposal would
honor agreed upon sub
division layouts. Individual
lots in such areas would
have to comply with setback
regulations only to the
maximum extent practical.

Constitution
The period of September
17th through the 23rd has
been designated as Con
stitution Week and Sep
tember 17th has been set
aside as Constitution Day.
This is a time when all
citizens of the United States
should take a good look at
their Constitution, this
document which guarantees
their personal freedom.
The Constitution of this
great nation was a miracle
in its inception. It was
written by men who had
borne the yoke of servitude
and by men who had
gambled all, even their very
lives and the lives of all they
loved, to be free.
For four long months they
struggled with pen and
propose .requiring that
oceanfront structural
relocations financed with
federal funds meet all
CAMA standards.
Seven reappointed
commission members and a
new member began terms of
office. The reappointed
members were Arthur
Cooper of Raleigh; Charles
Wells of Wilmington;
Charles Evans of Nags
Head; Jerry Hardesty of
Currituck; T. Erie Haste of
Hertford; W. Randolph
Thomas of Jacksonville and
Eugene B. Tomlinson of
Southport. The new com
mission member is Karen
Gottovi of Wilmington.

paper, preparing a
document which they
prayed would guide and
protect each individual and
yet meld these individuals
into a whole nation. Upon
completion, Thomas Jef
ferson told the Assembly
that what they had ac
complished was com
mendable but that it would
never work.
Our Constitution does
work and it has been so
successful it has been used
as a model for other nations
attempting to establish
democracies.
