eight years for completion. Payment for the project can be divided three ways. Iredell County's
portion will be $280,000. Repayment can be distributed over a ten-year period with no interest.
In addition, the local Soil & Water Office has some space that could be used by the surveyors. The
office space could be used as an in-kind contribution to lessenthe amount owed. Carrigan said that
since the '60s, at least 30 additional soil samples had been identified. The new survey will be
digitized on computer disk. The menmentioned that Wilkes County's recent survey had overlays

stage. They asked for a letter of intent to participate in the project.
