It was the consensus of the board members to delay further action on this matter until the
May 21 meeting.
PRESENTATION FROM THE COUNTY MANAGER REGARDING AN
IMPOUNDMENT STRUCTURE ON HUNTING CREEK: Mr. Mashburn said that on
March 5, 2002, he was directed by the board to make an inquiry with the State Department of
Transportation (DOT) to see if water impoundment structures were an option when replacing
bridges. Mashburn said he was also requested to inquire with the Soil and Water Conservation
Office and the Iredell Water Corporation about their interest. He said a letter was received from
the DOT on April 9, 2002 indicating the state had plans to replace several bridges in the north
Iredell area; however, it would be up to either the county or the Iredell Water Corporation to
build any dams or water impoundment structures. Mashburn said the water corporation had
indicated it would be willing to use impounded water, but it didn't express a willingness to fund
the costs to build the structure.
Mashburn asked the board members if they wanted further action on the matter.
Commissioner Williams said it appeared the state and the water company were not
interested in funding the cost for the project. He said that with this being the case, he felt no
further discussion was necessary.
(Note: Mr. victor Crosby appeared before the board on March 5, 2002 in reference to using state bridge
funds for water supply, flood control, hydropower, irrigation, wildlife habitats, and recreation. In response to Mr.
Crosby's request, the board requested the county manager to make the inquiries.)
