Algal Index To Be Issued Weekly TbeN.C. Department of Natural Resources and Community Development will issue its weekly algal index again this year to help residents of North eastern North Carolina plan their recreational and fishing activities on the Chowan River. The algal index, initiated by the department last summer, rates the con dition of the river from zero to 10, based on algal bloom condition in the river. Zero means there are virtually no nuisance algae present, and 10 means large portions of the river are covered by extensive mats of nuisance algal blooms. “We have had a wet spring, which is often conductive to a bad summer on the river,” said Joseph W. Grimsley, secretary of the N.C. Department of Natural Resources and Community Development. “This kind of weather promotes runoff of nutrients from noqxxnt sources. Let’s hope that the other necessary conditions, such as a dropoff in rainfall, low flow in the river and warm, sunny weather don’t develop. The Division of Environmental Management will use a number of area volunteers to help its scientists gather information for the algal “I deeply appreciate the unselfish effort these volunteers make to help us keep this program going for the people of Northeastern North Carolina,’’ Grimsley said. “Citixen involvement in our programs always makes ow project bettor.” The area covered by tbe algal index will include the lake-tike portion of theriver from just upstream of Holiday Island near HarreUsviDe down to Albemarle Sound. The index will indicate the condition of the river the NRCD officials don’t expect their predfctiou to always be right, but they should be reasonably accurate since they are based on technical informa tion gathered and compiled by toe volunteers and Environmental Manage- the Chowan Herald Volume XLVU - No. 24 Distribution Os Taxes Discussed The Chowan County Board of Commissioners, in addkhm to their stated agenda during their June 13, special session, discussed a pro- Mem tout was facing the one cent additional sales tax. The problem brought up by Oom isstoner CA. Phillips was that the legislature was being begged doom with toe distribution of the extra foods. Two plans for the fonds derived from the extra 1 per cent sales tax have been presented. The first plan is the point of sale method of distribution. Under this plan the ex tra 1 per cent would be returned to the counties in which the fonds wore generated. Counties with large cities or a heavy tourist trade seem to favor this method of distribution. The second plan for the distribu tion of the extra one per cent is on a per capita bases. Under this plan, counties would receive their portion of the extra one per cent based on the number of people that live within toe county. Smaller counties including Chowan favor this method of distribution. If the pent of sale method is enacted, Chowan County is estimated to receive around $247,000 in income. However, if the per capita method is enacted it is estimated that Chowan County would receive $280,900. Chowan and surrounding coun ties (not including Pasquotank and Dare), would fare better under the per capita method of distibutkm. according to the figures cited by Commissioner Phillips. The Board of Commissioners moved to have the County Manager Cliff Copeland, send letters to the Coo tinued On Page 4 the Rotary Club by Harold Nichols, (student scholarship advisor at John A.

TTie weekly algal index will be made available to news media throughou the Chowan River Basin, beginning June 14 and continuing until mid October, when the likelihood of a significant algal bloom is remote. In determining the algal index, Environmental Management scientists take into consideration such factors as chlorophyll present, conductivity. ratio of bloom species to total algal species present in samples, weather conditions and other factors. Here is a list of the algal index ranges and what they indieate: Zero to two: River dear. Conditions vary ing from no nuisance bloom algae present to small papulations present in the water column Conditions favorable for all recreational and commercial activities. Three to four: Masance bloom algae are present at low to medium popula tion levels. Some may be risible to the naked eye. Recreational and com mercial activities are not significantly affected. Five to six: Populations of nuisance bloom algae reach a level at which fihments or balls of algae are risible, and there are some small, widely scattered surface streaks of algae. The color and presence of the bloom streaks are unpleasant to swimmers and boaters, but there should be no significant effects on recreation or commercial fishing Seven to eight: Surface mats of nuisance algae are scattered and may be somewhat heavy in localized areas if wind is calm. Streaks of algae are prevalent Swimming and boating are adversely affected. There are odor proMems and some impairment of commercial and recreational fishing ffine to 10: Large portions of toe lower Chowan are covered by extensive surface mats of the Masaece Maorn algae. Windy conditions may temporari ty oHminate aaato, but they wig redevelop quickly as winds calm.
