  • 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.

Schumer Republican Leader Democratic Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McCarthy, Leader McConnell and Leader Schumer: RE: Urgent Action Needed on President-Elect Biden’s American Rescue Plan On behalf of The United States Conference of Mayors, we urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including providing direct fiscal assistance to all cities, which is long overdue. President-elect Biden’s American Rescue Plan contains such assistance as part of an aggressive strategy to contain the virus, increase access to life-saving vaccines, and create a foundation for sustainable and inclusive recovery. American cities and our essential workers have been serving at the frontlines of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic for nearly a year. We have been charged with executing herculean public health efforts and an unprecedented emergency response. Despite immense fiscal pressure, your local government partners oversaw those efforts, while trying to maintain essential services and increase our internal capacity to provide support for residents and businesses who have been crippled by a tanking economy. And yet, as the economic engines of our country, local governments will be relied upon to lead the long- term economic recovery our nation so desperately needs, even as, with few exceptions, cities have been largely left without direct federal assistance.

  • Michael L. West, PGA Independence Golf Club, Midlothian, Virginia Mike
    Michael L. West, PGA Independence Golf Club, Midlothian, Virginia Mike was born June 24, 1960 in Burlington, North Carolina to Jack and Elsie West. He has one brother, David. Both of Mike’s parents and both of his grandfathers played golf. His father introduced him to the game at Shamrock Golf Club in Burlington when Mike was three years old. Mike later played at Piedmont Crescent, now Quarry Hills Country Club, in Graham, North Carolina. Mike’s father, Jack, along with Shamrock Golf Club’s Head PGA Professional Steve Walker, had a tremendous influence on Mike’s game at an early age. Father and son played numerous rounds together with Mike’s fondest memory being that of going to Pinehurst to play course #2 on Saturday mornings. Steve Walker had played collegiate golf at Wake Forest in the late 1960s and became like a big brother and mentor who introduced Mike to Wake Forest players such as Lanny Wadkins, Joe Inman, Jim Simmons, and Jack Lewis. Mike worked in the golf shop and on the outside at Piedmont Crescent while in high school. He picked the range in exchange for hitting practice balls. Mike graduated from the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) with a degree in Business Administration. He played collegiate golf from 1978-1982, and won the 1980 Eastern Amateur, the 1982 North Carolina Amateur, and the 1982 Carolinas Amateur. Mike declared his professional status in 1983 and played in many PGA Tour and mini- tour events until 1988. He worked from 1989 to 1992 at Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville, Virginia for PGA Professional Bobby McIver and was elected to PGA membership while there in October of 1990.
