DISCUSSION OF THIRD CREEK WATERSHED - SURVEY OF DAMS: Jim
Summers, District Conservationist/ Iredell Soil and Water, said that
in 1988 evidence of problems in the dams began surfacing, e.g.,
rusting pipes, beavers congesting the dams. There are eleven flood
control structures and two are on the main branch of Third Creek.
The others are on tributaries to Third Creek. None of the
facilities are situated in Rowan County; however, citizens of this
County receive benefits from the structures. A structure is
located in Alexander Co.; however, it is felt there are no known
benefits to Alexander property owners. Summers advised there is
some "high-end agricultural property" in the watershed areas;
however, actual farm production has probably diminished some in the
past few years.
In April of 1996, an agreement was signed whereby Applied
GeoSciences & Engineering (AG&E) would determine the physical
conditions of the structures. Mr. Don Basinger, of AG&E
accompanied Mr. Summers to the meeting and said his company had
