  • 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.

    Tier 1 Preliminary Evaluation of Pollutant Sources to the Impounded Reaches of Five Dams in the Neuse River Basin, North Carolina December 2008 U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Ecological Services Raleigh Field Office Post Office Box 33726 Raleigh, North Carolina 27636-3726 Tier 1 Preliminary Evaluation of Pollutant Sources to the Impounded Reaches of Five Dams in the Neuse River Basin, North Carolina Executive Summary: Impounded reaches behind dams can trap and accumulate sediments through time. In some cases, those sediments can accumulate contaminants, and at high concentrations those contaminants can have adverse toxicological effects in-place as well as upon movement downstream. We used the framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency / U.S. Army Corps of Engineers technical guidance manual on disposal of dredged material in inland waters to evaluate the potential for sediment contamination within the impoundments created by five small dams on the Neuse River and tributaries in Wake, Wayne, Wilson, and Lenoir Counties, North Carolina. A tier 1 review of existing information on pollutant sources and sinks, similar to an initial environmental audit, was conducted. This report presents the methods, results, and recommendations from the tier 1 assessment. Review of existing information (State and federal databases on pollutant sources, previous environmental assessments, and limited analytical chemistry data for Neuse River and Crabtree Creek, Little River, Contentnea Creek and Southwest Creek) indicated no known significant organic or inorganic pollutant problems in a one-mile assessment area surrounding the impounded reaches of each dam. Much of the assessment area for the dams on Little River, Contentnea Creek and Southwest Creek remains in an undeveloped rural character (forestry and small farms).

  • Conservation Assessment of the Neuse River Lowgrounds and Mill Creek Watersheds in Johnston County
    Conservation Assessment of the Neuse River Lowgrounds and Mill Creek Watersheds in Johnston County Prepared by Leigh Ann Cienek and Jon Scott Triangle Land Conservancy Funding provided by the NC Attorney General’s Office Environmental Enhancement Grant July 30th, 2010 Introduction In the late 1990’s Triangle Land Conservancy (TLC) began focusing efforts to protect land within the Neuse River Lowgrounds in Johnston County. Although development pressure in the Lowgrounds has lagged behind other portions of the Triangle, this vast wilderness with many unique natural features faces other pressures such as logging, agriculture and mining which threaten water quality and the natural integrity of the area. During the past 10 years, development pressure in Johnston County has risen dramatically with a population increase of 40% for the County. Completion of the US-70 Clayton Bypass has also reduced the commute times to central portion of Johnston County including Smithfield, further drawing residents who commute to jobs in RTP and points west. In 2000, TLC with support from the Conservation Trust for North Carolina and funding from the NC Clean Water Management Trust Fund, completed the “Riparian Corridor Design for the Neuse River: From I-95 to Ferry Bridge Road in Johnston and Wayne Counties, North Carolina”. The design was limited to an evaluation of parcels along the Neuse River corridor and identified priorities for both restoration and preservation. As part of a renewed effort to protect this significant natural area, TLC applied to the NC Attorney General’s Office for an Environmental Enhancement Grant in 2008 to update the 2000 plan and expand the focus area to include the entire Neuse Lowgrounds watershed as well as the Mill Creek watershed, which includes Hannah Creek and several other important riparian corridors, farm and forest land, and cultural resources such as the Bentonville Battleground.

  • Cliffs of the Neuse State Park Master Plan / Prepared By
    Foreword Cliffs of the Neuse State Park has served the people of North Carolina since 1945. Since its establishment, the facilities there have been gradually expanded in response to increasing park use; however, this use has now increased to such an extent that the facilities, land, and the main park feature itself — the cliff — are in danger of permanent damage. The capacity of the land to absorb recreation use and remain protected from degradation has been reached. This Master Plan addresses these problems, analyzes them, and suggests both short-term and long-term development and management practices. The plan also recommends expansion of the recreation opportunities to reduce impact on the existing use areas. Designed for implementation in phases, the plan allows for uninterrupted park use and logical expansion of recreation facilities. The timing of development and construction is con- tingent upon the availability of funds and the establishment of biennial statewide priorities. This Master Plan has been developed in depth and is an ef- fort to provide a balance between recreation and natural ele- ments. Therefore, future decisions which will affect Cliffs of the Neuse State Park must continue to reflect the principles and spirit of the State Park System. CLIFFS OF THE NEUSE STATE PARK MASTER PLAN Prepared by: The State of North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Connmunity Development Division of Parks and Recreation Master Planning Unit December, 1977 TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD Inside Front Cover DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT

  • Neuse River Basin Timeline
    The Neuse is Named The Neuse River is named by English Explorer Ar- thur Barlowe after the Neusiok people, one of several Native American nations that settled along the Neuse in present day Raleigh. Neuse means “peace”. The Tuscarora tribe call this riv- er the “gotano” which means “pine in water.” (Today the Coharie Nation, a state-recognized nation, are decedents of the Neusiok people) The Tuscarora War A war between European settlers and the Tus- carora and other Native American Nations erupts on the banks of the Neuse River after years of growing trade tensions. Ultimately, the Tuscarora are defeated in a battle at Fort Neo- heroka where 950 Native Americans die. Many survivors migrate north to rejoin the Iroquois League, while others migrate to South Carolina to fight in the Yamasee War. Smithfield Becomes a Town Smithfield becomes the “first” town in Johnston County, settled mostly by subsistence farmers. Smith’s Ferry route on the Neuse River becomes one of the state’s first sites for receiving and stor- ing tobacco to be shipped downriver, more than a century before tobacco becomes a booming industry. The Plight of the Longleaf Pine The Longleaf pine, North Carolina’s state tree, is an important resource cultivated for its wood and resin, used to make tar, pitch, and turpen- tine for European naval ships. These products are sent downstream on the Cape Fear and Neuse rivers to the Atlantic. Fire suppression and livestock grazing prevent the longleaf from con- tinuing to reproduce in its historic range. (After 2 centuries of harvesting this tree, less than 3% of its original acreage re- main.) The Rise of the Lumber Industry New Bern, North Carolina’s first state capitol, be- comes one of the largest lumber centers in the South, with 16 operational lumber mills at its peak.
