Rep. Charles B. Deane of the
Eighth Congressional district an
nounced this week that Secretary
Charles F. Brannan, Department
of Agriculture, had forwarded to
the President of the Senate and
the Speaker of the House the Pee
Dee-Yadkin River Watershed sur
vey report.
The purpose of this survey re
port is to develop a program of
runoff and waterflow retardation
and soil erosion prevention for
that part of the Pee Dee-Yadkin
river watershed in North Caro
lina, Virginia, and South Carolina,
lying above the stream gauge at
U. S. Highway 74 bridge, six miles
west of Rockingham, and to pre
sent recommendations for the in
stallation and maintenance of the
program.
The area involved covers ap
proximately the upper half of the
authorized watershed, and con-

tains 6,870 square miles, 98 per
cent located in North Carolina and
the remainder in Virginia and
South Carolina.
This survey was approved by
Congress on August 28, 1937. A
considerable amount of field study
was carried on prior to World
War 2, and it has just recently
been completed.
The recommendation for this
original survey came from Dr. H.
H. Bennett, former chief of the
soil conservation service, and was
completed under his directorship.
It is of further interest to note
that the first soil conservation dis
trict in America was in the Pee
Dee section of North Carolina,
which is the home county of Dr.
Bennett.
Various state agencies partici
pated in the final draft of this re
port, which covers several hun
dred pages.
The program is designed for
both flood control and the conser
vation of watershed lands. It wiU
involve the improvement of 1,400
miles of tributary channels and
the stabilization of approximately
2,600 miles of gullies; the estab
lishment of approximately 800 de-
silting areas on non-production
land; the construction of approxi
mately 150 small upstream flood-
water-retarding structures; con
trol of erosion along approximate
ly 7,200 miles of roads and rail
roads; improvement of approxi
mately 500 miles of sub-watershed
waterways; and the construction
of approximately 85 miles of di
version channels and dikes.
The report furthermore recom
mends the improvement of ap
proximately 2,257,000 acres of
woodlands; tree planting on ap
proximately 21,000 acres; and ade
quate fire control for watershed
protection on approximately 2,-
506,000 acres.
On open land, it will improve
the construction of approximately
57,000 miles of terraces; and ap
proximately 33,300 farm ponds;
planting of approximately 125,000
acres of severely eroded crop, idle,
and pasture land to perennials so
as to increase forage yields; estab
lishment of approximately 239,000
acres of new pasture; and the
planting of approximately 11,400
acres of field borders and 24,000
acres of farm waterways.
It is estimated that the recom
mended program will yield an av
erage annual flood control benefit
of 111,871,000 to this area. In ad
dition to this flood cpntrol bene
fit, an estimated annual benefit of
$433,495,000 from erosion control,
conservation farming and wood
land management will accrue to
private owners and operators of
farm land and timber land, to
railroads and highways, and to the
public, on lands to be acqiured
for watershed protection.
This program will be supported
on the same basis as the other soil
conservation district progreims
throughout the country, with the
original cost and maintenance ex
penses being born jointly by the
Federal government and property
owners of the area involved.
Congressman Deane expressed
the hope that favorable action wiU
be taken during this session of
Congress on this survey report,
and expects to appear before the
appropriate House committee in
support of the recommended leg
islation. Mr. Deane has long ad
vocated the conservation of our
natural resources, and expressed
himself as feeling that the survey
report is an outstanding step in
that direction.
