"At the December meeting of the steering committee, Randolph County requested to be added to the North Central Piedmont Resource Conservation and Development Program. Randolph County fills a gap in the basin oP the upper Cape Fear River not now a part of the RD~CD project, though it gives rise to Deep and Roc'~y Rivera, two of the major streams of the upper basin. Tha peopple of'Randvlph, during the program's formative period in 1967-68, were interested in joining but local cir- cumstances at that time prevented them from doing so. The area RCFcD steering committee last month unanimously approved their addition to the project. Inclusion, however, is contingent upon the approval of the original sponsors -- these being the boards of county commissioners, the county planning boards, and the local evil and water conservation districts. Included with this letter is a draft of a resolution which will meet this need. We present it for your consideration."
