Waldorf <br /> Mayor <br /> Town of Chapel Hill <br /> 306 North Columbia Street <br /> Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27516 <br /> Dear Mayor orf &.AXXAI <br /> I am responding to your December 201 1996 letter concerning a request for the <br /> Department to assist in the funding of a flood control study of major drainage basins in and <br /> around Chapel Hill. <br /> In June of 1996 the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources <br /> prioritized ten potential Section 22 Planning Assistance to States Program study efforts. The <br /> flood control study of Bolin, Booker and Morgan Creek Watersheds in the Chapel Hill area of <br /> Orange County was ranked the number one priority. The General Assembly approved $75,000 <br /> for planning assistance study grants during Fiscal Year 1996-97. Thus, I am pleased to inform <br /> you that the State will assist you in paying for this flood control study by contributing $25,000 <br /> each year of this two year study. See copy of our letter to the Corps requesting the initiation of <br /> this study. <br /> We believe the Town of Chapel Hill and the other local sponsors of this study have <br /> worked very hard with the Corps to develop an excellent study plan. Based on our experience <br /> with studies of this type, we encourage your local staff members to work closely with the Corps <br /> staff in the implementation of this study so they will understand it fully and can utilize its results to <br /> the fullest extent possible. <br /> Please call me if we can be of further service. <br /> 4 Jona erely, <br /> �B Howes <br /> Attachment <br /> cc: W.
