Introductory Items 1. Orientation to WebEx Software Marikay Abuzuaiter welcomed everyone to the March virtual meeting. Virtual meetings are required during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the MPO anticipates holding virtual meetings until the state deems in-person meetings safe. Abuzuaiter introduced Carly Cook, a new Guilford County Commissioner. She also noted the cover slide for today’s slideshow features a recent student art contest. Lydia McIntyre then went through the WebEx Software and how to use it. 2. Opening Remarks and Roll Call Marikay Abuzuaiter took a roll call of everyone in the meeting for the public record. 3. Ethics and Awareness & Conflict of Interest Marikay Abuzuaiter read the Conflict of Interest Policy Statement required by the State Ethics Act, which states that it is the responsibility of each committee member to avoid conflicts of interest and if there are any to identify them now. No conflicts were noted by members. 4. Reports, Concerns, and Discussion from MPO Area Towns There were none. 5. Public Comments No public comments were received. Action Items 1. January 27, 2021 Meeting Minutes Tammy Thurm moved to approve the minutes of January 27, 2021. John O’Day seconded. The TAC voted unanimously to approve. 2. MTIP Amendment: Statewide Transit Projects Tyler Meyer stated the amendment adds a total of $47.5 million to thirteen statewide transit projects supporting capital, operating, and administrative expenses of rural and small urban transit systems for fiscal year 2022. The funding total includes $21.8 million for capital costs, $7.1 million for operational expenses, and $18.6 million for NCDOT administrative expenses. These totals include state match and local matching funds where applicable. The purpose of this amendment is to maintain MTIP/STIP consistency and to ensure local area transit agency eligibility, which is important in this case since Guilford County Transportation and Mobility Services typically receives funding under these programs. Meyer said he’d be glad to answer any questions, and that the recommended action is to approve the item. Marikay Abuzuaiter asked if there were any questions. Hearing none, she asked for a motion to approve. Yvonne Johnson moved to approve. Tammy Thurm seconded. The TAC voted unanimously to approve on a roll call vote. 3. MTIP Modifications: MPO Area Roadway Projects Tyler Meyer presented modifications for two MPO area roadway projects. The modifications adjust schedules for two MPO identified projects selected for funding under previous rounds of the STI prioritization process. I-5964 is an interchange improvement project at I-40 at Elm-Eugene Street. Meyer referenced the project design shown on the slide, saying the primary purpose of the project is to improve safety and traffic operations by removing slip lanes and by realigning the intersection to reduce safety conflicts and increase visibility. The modification accelerates construction from 2023 to 2021based TAC Meeting Minutes March 10, 2021 2 both on the need for the project as well as the fact that project development is sufficiently advanced to allow this to happen. R-5725 is for operational safety and access management improvements on NC 68 between NC 150 and Fogleman Road in the Oak Ridge area. The modification shifts the right-of-way from 2021 to 2022, and also shifts the construction from 2021 to 2023 to allow for additional time needed to finish design work. Meyer concluded by stating the recommendation is to approve the MTIP Modification. Marikay Abuzuaiter asked if there were any questions. John O’Day asked how far south on NC 68 from NC 150 does the project go? Meyer did not recall the length, but referred to the map on the slide depicting the project to illustrate its limits. Skip Alston observed the project did not go as far as I-73. Marikay Abuzuaiter said she noted she is glad to see the I-40 at Elm-Eugene project being moved up as the project is a much needed safety improvement. She then asked for a motion to approve. Tammy Thurm moved to approve. Mike Fox seconded. The TAC voted unanimously to approve. 4. MTIP Amendment: A&Y Greenway / Downtown Greenway Phase 4 Tyler Meyer stated that EB-6037C A&Y Greenway was added to the TIP in 2019 with $4.4 million in federal funds and a $1.1 million local match after being selected for funding under a special NCDOT call for railbanking projects. In 2020 NCDOT agreed and TIP actions were taken to shift the funding to the construction phase because circumstances had required the City of Greensboro to proceed with the railbanking transaction prior to the federal funds availability. At this time, Meyer stated, it is recommended to increase the federal funding share to cover 80% of estimated costs using BGANY funds made available through a swap of prior year funding allocation with NCDOT. The amendment would add $2,748,595 in federal funds, and the required $687,149 local match. Mike Fox asked Meyer to explain what BGANY funds are. Meyer answered the term is an acronym for the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program, formerly known as the Surface Transportation Program. This program has a component directed by NCDOT for use anywhere in the state (BGANY). It also as a component suballocated to MPOs with populations over 200,000 (BGDA) for use on MPO selected priority projects. What used to be called STPDA is now BGDA and what use to be called STPANY is now BGANY. The prior year BGDA for BGANY swap involved allowing NCDOT to use MPO BGDA funds in 2019 on Urban Loop GARVEE payments in return for an allocation of the same amount of BGANY funds in FY 2020. Doing so enabled NCDOT to receive more funds during the annual year-end redistribution FHWA uses to distributes unused funds from state DOT’s that are slower to use them to DOT’s with higher utilization rates. Therefore, in this situation, these are basically BGANY funds acting in the capacity of BGDA funds. Mike Fox said this was a helpful explanation. Tammi Thurm said she in favor of the amendment, but was curious what else can we use these funds for and ae there more of these funds available? Tyler Meyer said the MPO is apportioned BGDA funds every year. And in this case, as we just discussed, BGANY funds are sort of acting as BGDA funds. This is a funding source has been used to construct sidewalk projects throughout the city and greenway projects as well such as the Downtown Greenway Phase 2. Greenways and sidewalks have been done in the County and some TAC Meeting Minutes March 10, 2021 3 of the towns using this funding source as well.

  • A Case Study of Carolina Bays and Ditched Streams at Risk Under the Proposed WOTUS Definition
    CAPE FEAR RIVER WATERSHED: A Case Study of Carolina Bays and Ditched Streams at Risk under the Proposed WOTUS Definition The Cape Fear River. Photo by Kemp Burdette The Cape Fear River Basin is North Carolina’s largest watershed, with an area of over 9,000 square miles. Major tributaries include the Deep River, the Haw River, the Northeast Cape Fear River, the Black River, and the South River. These rivers converge to form a thirty-mile-long estuary before flowing into the Atlantic Ocean at Cape Fear.1 The Cape Fear supplies water to some of the fastest ​ growing counties in the United States;2 roughly one in five North Carolinians gets their drinking ​ water from the Cape Fear, including residents of Greensboro, Fayetteville, and Wilmington.3 ​ The Cape Fear Basin is a popular watershed for a variety of recreation activities. State parks along the river include Haw River State Park, Raven Rock State Park, and Carolina Beach State Park. The faster-flowing water of the upper basin is popular with paddlers, as are the slow meandering blackwater rivers and streams of the lower Cape Fear and estuary. Fishing is very popular; the Cape Fear supports a number of freshwater species, saltwater species, and even anadromous (migratory) species like the endangered sturgeon, striped bass, and shad. Cape Fear River Watershed: Case Study Page 2 of 8 The Cape Fear is North Carolina’s most ecologically diverse watershed; the Lower Cape Fear is notable because it is part of a biodiversity “hotspot,” recording the largest degree of biodiversity on the eastern seaboard of the United States.

  • Water Supply & Wastewater
    Piedmont Triad Climate Resiliency Tool Kit Water Supply & Wastewater Introduction Water is a scarce natural resource in the Piedmont region. As the Piedmont Triad continues to grow and develop, and the demand for potable water increases, it has become increasingly important to monitor the surface water capacity available to fulfill our regional water demand. Short-term solutions to water issues are generally quick and necessary steps in reaction to immediate concerns. However, a long-term planning approach will better prepare local governments for the unique challenges facing our region. Investment in a deeper understanding of the complex and challenging political, regulatory, and environmental issues surrounding water supply will help guide decision-makers to consider future ramifications of options in resource planning. This assessment of current and future (20-50 years) water resource needs and wastewater treatment plant capacity includes the 12-county Piedmont Triad Regional Council (PTRC) Region (Alamance, Caswell, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Montgomery, Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes, Surry, and Yadkin Counties). Water supply and wastewater capacity are assessed within the context of surface water availability, projected population growth, geography, current laws and regulations, water quality, and patterns of water use (water conservation and water reuse). Background Drinking water comes from two primary sources, surface water or groundwater. Surface water is the water found above ground in the form of rainwater runoff, streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Groundwater is unseen and deep in the ground saturating porous sandy soils or fractures of bedrock. Surface water and groundwater affect each other. Groundwater comes to the surface (springs) and can help replenish surface water.

  • Town Creek Indian Mound State Historic Site
    2009 ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS AT TOWN CREEK INDIAN MOUND STATE HISTORIC SITE by Edmond A. Boudreaux III (East Carolina University), R. P. Stephen Davis, Jr. (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill) Brett H. Riggs (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill) Research Report No. 30 Research Laboratories of Archaeology University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill October 2009 ABSTRACT Archaeological fieldwork took place at Town Creek Indian Mound State Historic Site during June 2009 to achieve goals of public education and archaeological research. Dozens of volunteers participated in the fieldwork, and numerous visitors to Town Creek were able to observe the excavations. The excavations consisted of seven 10-×-10-ft units. This work documented segments of several palisade lines that run along the periphery of the Mississippian community at Town Creek. The June 2009 excavations also demonstrated that a structure is not present in an area previously thought to contain the remains of a Mississippian building. Additionally, the unexpected recovery of a Clovis point represents the first diagnostic, Paleoindian artifact ever recovered from Town Creek. i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The June 2009 fieldwork at Town Creek Indian Mound State Historic Site was a successful endeavor because of the efforts of many people and institutions. Archie Smith has been a proponent of additional fieldwork at Town Creek for some time, and he spearheaded much of the effort that set this project in motion. Funding was provided by the generous efforts of the Friends of Town Creek. The staff of Town Creek Indian Mound State Historic Site supported the project in numerous ways both before and during the fieldwork.
