Targeted
Watershed Project
Purpose
The purpose
of the Cape Fear River Assembly's Targeted Watershed Project is
to conduct a basin-wide water quality trading study that incorporates
urban stormwater management into an incentive-based watershed permitting
framework.
Project
Description
The Cape
Fear River Assembly's Targeted Watershed Project focuses on watershed
management strategies in an effort to balance the competing goals
of growth and the environment. Since the majority of the impaired
waters in the Cape Fear River Basin occur in areas that are heavily
urbanized, the basin represents an ideal setting for development
of an incentive-based TMDL implementation program with a strong
urban stormwater and development management component. This project
will launch a water quality credit trading pilot in the Jordan
Lake watershed of the upper basin, establish and test a technical
and regulatory framework there, then share the products, process,
and lessons learned so that similar approaches which include trading
can be shared and applied down river to the other two major sub-basins.
This project will build on the diverse partnerships the CFRA has
already established and will result in a program that will protect
the Cape Fear River Basin's valuable water resources while allowing
for continued economic growth. If you have any questions, please
call 910-223-4601
or by e-mail rogersheats@aol.com.
Project Funding
The US Environmental
Protection Agency is providing financial support for the Cape Fear
River Assembly's Targeted Watershed Project.

Strategic
Planning Project
On January 28, 1999 the Cape Fear River Assembly
Executive Committee unanimously approved the initiation
of a strategic planning process to identify future
issues, needs and directions of the Assembly. The
North Carolina Department of Commerce's Division of
Community Assistance was selected to provide facilitation
support services and report preparation services for
the project. 
On May 25, 1999 the CFRA Board of Directors initiated
the strategic planning process by participating
in a "visioning session" to identify
the four most important issues contributing to
the future success of the organization. The
visioning session employed a consensus building
process which resulted in the selection of the
following four key issues facing the organization:
- Broaden the Participation Base
- Education/Public Awareness
- Funding Support
- Water Resource Management Issues
A task force was
formed to examine each issue in detail, and to
develop recommendations for the CFRA Board of Directors'
consideration. More than 70 people representing
many diverse organizations participated on the
task forces. Throughout the study phase of
the project each task force met at least five times
to:
- Develop a mission statement relative
to the issue;
- Analyze the issue in detail;
- Identify goals, define policies,
set target objectives relating to the issue;
- Develop procedures;
- Identify resources;
- Set a timetable for implementation;
- Rank the priority of each item/target
objective;
- Determine the benefit level of
each item/target objective; and
- Develop an "Action Plan".
Each of the task forces completed
their work in December, 1999. The task force
reports were consolidated into a "draft" final
report which was approved by the CFRA Executive Committee
on January 20, 2000. A considerable amount
of time and effort has been contributed by each person
participating in the CFRA's Strategic Planning Process. The
result is an excellent comprehensive tool to guide
the Assembly as it continues to strengthen and build
on efforts to protect and promote the Cape Fear River
Basin.
