It is standard operating procedure for Cape Fear Resource Conservation & Development to request a MOU with project partners in their service area. The purpose of the Pages Creek Watershed Restoration Plan is to collaboratively develop and submit a completed a watershed restoration plan for the Pages Creek watershed in New Hanover County for approval by the NC Division of Water Resources. The plan will be used to identify and find solutions for non -point source pollutants in the watershed. Approval of the watershed restoration plan will allow the county to qualify for Federal EPA 319 grant funding opportunities in the future. It is the intent of Soil and Water to pursue Federal funds to reduce pollutants with green and gray infrastructure options. The Pages Creek watershed is currently impaired under the US EPA Clean Water Act, and its shellfish waters are closed due to elevated levels of bacteria above the state standard for Enterococci. Development of the watershed restoration plan will make use of the Watershed EZ and Runoff Reduction Scenario tools from the North Carolina Coastal Federation to quantify the stormwater volume reduction goals for the watershed and the benefits of potential stormwater volume restoration practices distributed throughout the watershed. In simple terms, lower volumes of water flowing off impervious surfaces equals less pollution. The goal is to increase water infiltration in the watershed. Following the approval and adoption of the Pages Creek Watershed Restoration Plan, the New Hanover County Soil and Water Conservation District and its partners, Cape Fear Resource Conservation & Development and Moffatt & Nichol, will identify and prioritize targeted retrofit projects for implementation. The projects will be aimed at reducing the impact of impervious surfaces by mimicking natural hydrology to reduce flooding and protect water quality.

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee? I care deeply about supporting the marginalized,fighting against inequality and making sure that people know they are valuable and worthy. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? I don't know if these are issues addressed by CRAC, but off the top of my head,a few issues I see that are close to my heart are closing the gap between kinship placement and foster care homes. Kinship placements do not receive the same protection, services,financial assistance or support that foster care does and I believe it limits the amount of family or like family homes for our 818 kids in out of home placements in the two nearest counties.Secondly,food deserts are only becoming a bigger issue as food bank dry up unemployment continues and prices rise. I would love to see affordable shopping with fresh produce options become a reality for our downtown community.Lastly, I think we could do better with community communication as far as distribution of supplies,Christmas assistance,services provided,and education of the available resources. I feel I see a lot of duplication of efforts which means a lot of assistance is being given but that it may not be being distributed to all those who are in need of them. Qualifications for serving: While I don't have experience sitting on a committee like this, I believe that my heart for people and genuine desire to make people feel loved and known qualifies me. I actually,as generic as it sounds,want to make the world a better place.And I believe that the way to do that is one step at a time and I believe this is my next step.
