  • Governors' Papers
    Governors’ Papers 1 R. Gregg Cherry GOVERNOR ROBERT GREGG CHERRY, 1944-1949, n.d. Arrangement: By record series or subject, then chronological. Reprocessed by: James Mark Valsame Finding aid by W. F. Burton, January 8, 1949 Digitized by: James Mark Valsame Date: May 31, 2012 Robert Gregg Cherry (October 17, 1891 – June 25, 1957), Post-World War II governor of North Carolina and speaker and long-time member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, was born at Catawba Junction, near York, SC, to Chancellor Lafayette and Hattie Davis Cherry. His mother died when Cherry was one year old and his father, a farmer and Confederate veteran, six years later. Cherry was sent to Gastonia, just across the state line, to live with his maternal grandfather, pioneer Gastonian Isaac N. Davis, and his uncle, Henry M. Lineberger. Cherry attended the public schools of Gastonia and then was graduated from Trinity College in 1912. He completed a law degree at Trinity College in 1914, winning the Judge Walter Clark prize as the highest ranking student in the graduating class. Returning to Gastonia, he established a law practice with Alfred Lee Bulwinkle, long-time friend and future congressman from the area. When the United States entered World War I in 1917, Cherry delighted in organizing among men in the Gastonia area a machine gun troop of the First North Carolina Cavalry, which he trained and commanded during service overseas. He always took great pride in having developed a group of local men into a fighting cadre. His interest in the military continued after the war, and he maintained membership in the National Guard until 1924.

  • 3000 Inactive Hazardous Sites
    Report to the North Carolina General Assembly on the Division of Waste Management’s Inactive Hazardous Sites Program North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Waste Management http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/waste-management/superfund- section/inactive-hazardous-sites-program October 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The N.C. General Assembly created the Inactive Hazardous Sites Program in the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ (DENR) Division of Waste Management (DWM) to identify, investigate and clean up properties contaminated with hazardous substances. The program also manages the assessment and cleanup of old pre-regulatory landfill sites that have environmental contamination and that predate modern landfill standards designed to prevent contamination. This report satisfies the requirements, set out in G.S. 130A-310.10, for an annual report to the General Assembly. A total of 3,112 chemical spill or disposal sites and old, unlined dumps or landfills (pre- regulatory) have been cataloged. Of this number 2,548 still require work to address public health or environmental hazards. Of the 2,548 remaining open cases, 669 are old, unlined landfills that predate solid and hazardous waste permitting laws. By state law, approximately 45 percent of the proceeds of a statewide solid waste disposal tax is directed to address contamination at these pre-regulatory landfills. DWM has established contracts with private firms to assess and remediate the pre- regulatory landfill sites. DWM has started a pilot study of an alternative privatized method of state-funded assessment and remediation of four pre-1983 landfills, to evaluate ways to improve efficiency and reduce cost.
