CHAPTER 4 TRENDS AFFECTING OUTDOOR RECREATION in the STATE PARKS SYSTEM North Carolina’S Population and Landscape Are Always Changing This page left intentionally blank Division of Parks and Recreation NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources Governor Roy Cooper Secretary Susi H. Hamilton To the Citizens of North Carolina: It is my pleasure to present the 2018 update for the North Carolina state parks system’s Systemwide Plan. This plan is a five-year guidance document that provides a record of recent activities and accomplishments and offers strategic direction for the future of North Carolina’s state parks. In 2016, North Carolina state parks celebrated its 100th anniversary with events at parks throughout the system. In addition, North Carolina voters overwhelmingly approved a $2 billion Connect NC Bond referendum on March 15, 2016 by a 2-to-1 margin. The bond package included $75 million for 45 state parks projects across the state. The parks system continues to grow and improve to provide North Carolina residents access to the natural beauties of this state. North Carolinians and visitors to our state have a deep commitment, passion and support for our park system as demonstrated by the record-breaking 19.4 million visitors in 2017. These visitors came to take in the natural beauty, participate in various outdoor recreational activities and learn more about the diversity of the state's abundant natural resources. Visitors participating in the programs offered at the parks leave with a better understanding of nature and its benefits on society. This document creates a vision and plan for meeting the needs of current visitors and those of the next generation of park users. The state parks system would not be what it is without the active participation, support, advocacy, and advice of park visitors, legislators, local governments, land trusts, friend’s groups, businesses, scientists, educators, environmentalists, and many other wonderful partners. Many improvements to the park system have been made, and they continue with new and improved camping facilities and visitor centers being built at many of our parks. North Carolinians and visitors to our park system look to us to set an example for natural resource protection, low-impact recreation and outdoor education. The dedicated state park staff are working to promote and integrate a “Park’s Educational Program for Elementary Students” so every upper elementary school student in North Carolina can have a meaningful experience in a state park. Naturalist David Polis is quoted “Must we always teach our children with books? Let them look at the mountains and the stars up above. Let them look at the beauty of the waters and the trees and flowers on earth. They will then begin to think, and to think is the beginning of a real education.” With children being raised in digital generation, creating and expanding opportunities for our children to experience the outdoors is vitally important. Through this experience, their interest in preserving the natural wonders of this state will become ingrained into their lives at an early age and remain as they mature into adulthood. An outdoor experience in one of North Carolinas state parks can be a life-changing experience, especially for our children. The Division of Parks and Recreation has the obligation and opportunity to create that experience. The agency continually strives to provide quality facilities, conserve our most special places and educate visitors about what makes this state great. We are committed to providing the best possible visitor experience and education to increase fiscal efficiency and to be a valuable partner in economic development efforts systemwide. We invite you to visit and enjoy your extraordinary state park system and experience the resources we are diligently working to preserve, protect and make available for the enjoyment of our visitors.

  • 4 Environmental Consequences
    4 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES The discussion on environmental consequences summarizes the potential effects on the human, physical, and natural environments that may result from the construction and operation of the Southeast High Speed Rail (SEHSR) project. The existing environment within the project study area was described in Chapter 3. The impacts presented here are based on the proposed preliminary engineering designs for the rail and roadway alignments. Impacts are identified for each of the three alternative alignments within each of the 26 sections of the project. As discussed in Section 2.2, the endpoints of the 26 sections are in locations where the alternative alignments are in a common location. Therefore, alternatives can be evaluated section by section, with a preferred alternative selected for each section. These will be joined together to determine the “best-fit” preferred alternative for the entire study corridor. It should be noted that all persons, business, and non-profit organizations displaced as a result of the project would be compensated in a fair and equitable manner in accordance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, and the North Carolina Relocation Assistance Act (GS-133-5 through 133-18). 4.1 Water Resources Potential project impacts to streams, wetlands, and other jurisdictional waters are discussed in the following sections, followed by discussion of potential permits required. Clean Water Act Waters of the US, Clean Water Act Permits, Construction Moratoria, Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act regulations, North Carolina River Basin Buffer Rules, and Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 Navigable Waters are addressed.

  • Bibliography of North Carolina Underwater Archaeology
    i BIBLIOGRAPHY OF NORTH CAROLINA UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY Compiled by Barbara Lynn Brooks, Ann M. Merriman, Madeline P. Spencer, and Mark Wilde-Ramsing Underwater Archaeology Branch North Carolina Division of Archives and History April 2009 ii FOREWARD In the forty-five years since the salvage of the Modern Greece, an event that marks the beginning of underwater archaeology in North Carolina, there has been a steady growth in efforts to document the state’s maritime history through underwater research. Nearly two dozen professionals and technicians are now employed at the North Carolina Underwater Archaeology Branch (N.C. UAB), the North Carolina Maritime Museum (NCMM), the Wilmington District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), and East Carolina University’s (ECU) Program in Maritime Studies. Several North Carolina companies are currently involved in conducting underwater archaeological surveys, site assessments, and excavations for environmental review purposes and a number of individuals and groups are conducting ship search and recovery operations under the UAB permit system. The results of these activities can be found in the pages that follow. They contain report references for all projects involving the location and documentation of physical remains pertaining to cultural activities within North Carolina waters. Each reference is organized by the location within which the reported investigation took place. The Bibliography is divided into two geographical sections: Region and Body of Water. The Region section encompasses studies that are non-specific and cover broad areas or areas lying outside the state's three-mile limit, for example Cape Hatteras Area. The Body of Water section contains references organized by defined geographic areas.
