Approval to Adopt a Resolution to Modify the Draft NC Coastal Habitat Protection Plan (CHPP)
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The State, using staff and members from the Coastal Resources Commission, the Environmental Management
Commission, and the Marine Fisheries Commission has developed a draft NC Coastal Habitat Protection Plan. The public
has been given approximately a month for review and input into this 600 page document. The above three Commissions
will consider the public comments, possibly approve the CHPP by the end of the year, and then begin implementation
primarily through development of regulations.
The attached draft resolution reflects comments and a resolution prepared by the Town of Nags Head, Carteret County,
and others. The CHPP has raised concerns that could adversely impact new development and beach nourishment. The
process for public review is also considered inadequate.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
The Board should consider adopting the attached resolution.

SUBJECT:
Award of Contract #05-0057 to McKim & Creed, Landfill Vertical Expansion
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The Department of Environmental Management in conjunction with its engineer has determined that additional capacity can
be added at the landfill with very minimal cost through a vertical expansion. The New Hanover County Secure Landfill has,
with the exception of Cell No. 1, been constructed using a "piggy back" methodology. Simply, the bottom liners of each
"subcell" have been attached to the prior cell liner to allow the continuous fill of waste from one cell to the next without the
valley between cells had they been constructed individually. Cells 2 though 5 have been completed in a North/South
direction of approximately 2,600 feet. With the construction of Cell 6, the base will be completed in the East/West direction
expanding the base from 650 to 1,300 feet, for a total base of approximately 78 acres. Solid Waste Rules limit the height of
the disposal unit in that the side slope can not exceed a steepness of 4 feet horizontal to one foot vertical (4:1). This slope
requirement limited the height of cells to an elevation of 100 feet for cells 2 through 5. Now that the base has been
expanded, the height can be expanded to an elevation of 170 feet over an area of approximately 36 acres. The avoided
engineering and construction costs to build 36 acres of bottom liners is over $7,000,000, not considering the use of limited
landfill property. Since the additional volume achieved by the vertical expansion exceeds the 10% expansion limit
established by State rule, we must meet a different level of permitting submittal that basically follows the requirements for
permitting a new landfill site. The proposal submitted by McKim & Creed provides for those services. The contract is
available for review in the County Manager's Office.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff recommends award of Contract #05-0057 to McKim & Creed of Wilmington, in an amount not to exceed $140,000 and
adoption of the associated resolution. The services described in the Scope of Service are to obtain a permit to allow the
construction of a vertical expansion over Cells 2 through 6 at the New Hanover County Landfill. Funds for this contract are
available in the Landfill's contracted services account.

Library:

Child Day Care:
Day Care Services $6,000
EXPLANATION: During the adoption process for the FY 04-05 Budget, an additional $16,000 was added to the
library book budget based on the information available at that time that no Smart Start funding would be included
for books. The $16,000 was added to maintain the Growing Readers Book budget at the FY 03-04 level. When the
Smart Start grant was awarded there was funding for books in the amount of $6,000.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Due to greater than anticipated funding for books and the great need for day care
funding, this budget amendment transfers $6,000 from the library book budget to the Social Services day care
budget. This budget amendment was created at the request of Commissioner Pritchett.

Adoption of the ILA will be considered to be a general ratification by the Commissioners of the existing and future Town
ordinances for the north end.
The attached Town's draft ordinance, which incorporates the key elements of the Management Plan, will be heard by the Town
at their August 10 meeting.

Presentation of Grant Proposal for the N.C. Public Beach and Waterfront Access Program
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The County has received preliminary approval from the State of North Carolina, Division of Coastal Management to pursue
a Grant to provide coastal access on the Peden Point property. This proposal utilizes a .3 acre property that was purchased
with Hazard Mitigation Grant Money following Hurricane Floyd. Improvements slated for the site include parking and
access to the Intracoastal Waterway for pedestrians, canoeists and kayakers. Parking for 6 to 8 cars will be provided on a
gravel surface. The parking area will be defined by rope and post. Parking space headers will be provided. At the
waterway, improvements to an existing bulkhead will be provided and a pier of at least 150' with a 20? floating canoe/kayak
launch dock will be constructed. Stabilization of the area between the existing bulkhead and a small sand beach area will
allow continued access for wading and canoe/kayak launching. Interpretive signs with warnings about shifting tides and
canoe/kayak safety will be posted.
With over 170,000 residents, New Hanover County is the State?s ninth most populated county and the second most densely
populated with over 800 people per square mile. The County?s population swells dramatically in warmer months as tourists
come from all over the country to enjoy the coastal environment. Despite the demand for our coastal resources, there are
very few estuarine public accesses along the waterway between Snow?s cut and Pender County. It is rare that vacant land
becomes available near the water. This project with these improvements will provide an excellent access. Due to the
location of this site, the project is especially valuable to people choosing to experience our coastal environment by canoe or
kayak. The site is directly across the ICWW from Masonboro Island which has been designated a national estuarine
research reserve and is part of the North Carolina Coastal Reserve. A half-mile paddle across the ICWW will get residents
to the back side of Masonboro. The grant will be for $36,015 from the State. Staff will provide detailed budget information
and the grant application by the time of the staff meeting. The Commissioners will be given the opportunity to accept or
reject the grant award once the State reviews the application.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Sign the attached resolution in support of this grant application. Request acceptance of the grant and approval of the
necessary budget amendment if awarded.

Approval to Continue Standard County Status for Work First Program
BRIEF SUMMARY:
In order to comply with N.C.G.S. 108A-27, and aid the State in its compliance with the federal Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families (TANF) Program, counties must submit to the Department of Health and Human Services biennial plans
that describe the operation of their TANF programs. Work First is the primary TANF Assistance Program in North Carolina.
The State will submit an aggregate of county plans to the federal DHHS. The next update will be due November 1, 2004,
and will cover the period of October 1, 2005 - September 30, 2007. The local plan must be approved by the Board of
County Commissioners. In addition, by September 30, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners must notify the Division
of Social Services of its decision to prepare a Standard or an Electing County Plan. In compliance with these requirements,
the Social Services Board voted to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners notify the State that we choose to
prepare a Standard County Plan once again, and appoint the 2003-2005 planning committee to develop a new plan. New
Hanover County currently operates the Work First program under a Standard County Plan. A copy of the Executive
Summary for that plan is attached for your convenience. In addition, a list containing names of those recommended to
make up the Planning Committee is attached. The proposed plan for October 2004-September 2007 will be presented for
Board of County Commissioners approval by October 19, 2004.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Recommend approval of request to submit a Standard County Work First Plan for the period covering October 1, 2005 -
September 30, 2007; and approval of the 2003-2005 planning committee to develop the plan for 2005-07.

SUBJECT:
Development of a Water Development Plan Committee
BRIEF SUMMARY:
New Hanover County is currently involved with the development and implementation of plans for water system improvements.
As part of these improvements, the construction of an 8 million gallon per day water treatment facility will provide high quality
water for the County's water system in the northern part of the County. It is expected that interest in service connections and in
the development of the County's water system will increase after the treatment facility is operational.
A comprehensive water development plan does not exist. Such a plan would provide a structured format for system
development so that the overall integrity of the system would be protected as well as addressing issues of public health and
safety. In order to develop such a plan, it will be necessary to first define a scope and format for implementation of the plan.
Staff will develop a draft plan of action and a suggested composition of the committee.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff requests the Board of Commissioners consider creating a committee to more accurately define the needs and scope that a
Water Development Plan should address.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Will above action result in: No Change In Position(s) Number of Positions:
Explanation: No funding involved.
