In 2007, water issues once again came to the environmental forefront in North Carolina,
as the state wrestled not only with one of its worst droughts in recent history, but with the
potential for that drought to continue well into the next calendar year and beyond.
Whenever water quantity becomes an issue, attention is focused on water quality as well,
and the importance of protecting and preserving the state’s existing water resources is
underscored.
In the 11 years since its creation, the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund has
gained a reputation as one of the state’s premiere water conservation and protection
agencies. In August 1996, the General Assembly approved landmark legislation creating
the trust fund in response to public outcry over the polluted condition of the Neuse
River. Since that time, CWMTF has played key roles in protecting water quality in all 17
of the state’s river basins, and has helped preserve key North Carolina landmarks such
as Grandfather Mountain, Bird Island, DuPont State Forest, Chimney Rock, and the
Alligator River.
In 2007, CWMTF and its partners celebrated the conservation of Cowee Mound in
Cherokee County, Jones Island in Carteret County, Lake Rhodhiss, the Neuse River
in Wake County, and the completion of a major stormwater management project in
Wilmington. During its consideration of grants in 2007, the CWMTF Board of Trustees
refocused attention on providing low-income communities with resources to address
their wastewater management needs, and it prepared to integrate innovative methods into
the criteria for stormwater management grants in 2008.
CWMTF also changed leadership during 2007. Following the resignation of Bill Holman
in December 2006, Richard E. Rogers, Jr. was hired by the CWMTF Board of Trustees and
became the fund’s third executive director. His appointment was effective August 1, 2007.
Introduction
Page 2
The General Assembly, in its legislation that enacted CWMTF (Chapter 113A
Article 18 (GS 113A-251 et seq.)), gave the new agency a clear mandate: “to
clean up pollution in the state’s surface waters and to protect and conserve
those waters that are not yet polluted.”
The CWMTF “shall be used to help finance projects that specifically address
water pollution problems and focus on upgrading surface waters, eliminating
pollution, and protecting and conserving unpolluted surface waters, including
urban drinking water supplies” and “to build a network of riparian buffers
and greenways for environmental, educational, and recreational benefit.”
CWMTF’s influence on water quality over the last decade extends well
beyond the Neuse River Basin. Conservation of forested buffers along key
waterways, wastewater improvements, restoration of wetlands and stream
banks to curb erosion and stormwater management for cities and towns
has resulted in cleaner water for all of North Carolina – from Murphy to
Manteo.
CWMTF’s non-regulatory, incentive-based grants complement North
Carolina’s environmental regulatory and educational programs and help
ensure both a strong economy and healthy environment.
The CWMTF is an independent agency housed for administrative purposes
in the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). A
21-member board of trustees establishes criteria, allocates funds, reviews
applications, approves grants, and hires the executive director. Seven
members are appointed by the Governor; seven by the General Assembly
upon the recommendation of the President Pro Tempore of the Senate; and
seven by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Speaker
Page 3
Background
of the House. An advisory council composed of the Commissioner of
Agriculture, Chair of the Wildlife Resources Commission, Secretary of
DENR, and Secretary of Commerce or their designees advises the board of
trustees.
Local governments, state agencies, and nonprofit conservation organizations,
such as land trusts, may apply for grants. Moneys from CWMTF may be
used to acquire conservation easements or land in fee simple to preserve
riparian buffers, wetlands, floodplains, and greenways; to restore riparian
buffers, streams, and wetlands; to repair failing wastewater collection and
treatment systems; to eliminate failing septic tanks and straight pipes; to
prevent, reduce, collect and treat stormwater pollution; and to plan water
quality projects. The board works through three principal committees:
acquisitions, infrastructure/wastewater, and restoration/stormwater.
The executive director, two deputy directors, real property counsel,
wastewater infrastructure project manager, restoration and stormwater
project manager, administrative officer, communications director,
paralegal, executive assistant, and office assistant are based in the central
office in Raleigh. Five field representatives cover the coast, piedmont and
mountain regions of the state. In 2008, a part-time water quality advisor
will be changed to a full-time position and moved to the central office and
a stewardship coordinator will be added to the Raleigh CWMTF staff.
Administration
In 2007, the CWMTF continued to make significant strides in funding projects to improve water quality throughout the state.
In the last year, CWMTF also continued to help the state achieve its goal of preserving a million acres of open space, as set out in GS 113A-240, and further
assisted Governor Easley implement his One North Carolina Naturally initiative.
As of 2007 CWMTF has:
• helped preserve over 439,000 acres of land, thereby ensuring streams, rivers, lakes and shellfishing waters will be able to support their uses for
drinking water, recreation, fisheries and other uses;
• helped protect over 4,500 miles of riparian bufers;
• invested more than $446.6 million in land and water conservation;
• funded 135 riparian bufer, stream and wetland restoration projects totaling more than $85.2 million;
• assisted local governments and other applicants with 232 wastewater improvement projects, investing more than $215.3 million to reduce discharges
and more effectively treat wastewater so that fewer nutrients and other pollutants enter our rivers, and
• funded 89 stormwater management projects totaling more than $48.3 million to reduce pollution from urban runoff and decrease flooding.
Progress
by the Numbers-2007
The Board of Trustees adopted an annual administrative budget of up to
$2,222,400 for fiscal year 2007-2008 at its September 2007 meeting.
In 2007, the Board of Trustees met eight times – five times in Raleigh, and
in Chapel Hill, Browns Summit, and Marion. In 2008, the Board plans to
meet for its off-site planning meeting in February in Durham and then
three times in Raleigh and in Winston-Salem and in Hickory for its
regular meetings

Protecting Natural and
Cultural Heritage:
Cowee Mound
Page 5
In 2007, CWMTF celebrated the conservation of the Cowee Mound tract
It is almost impossible to separate North Carolina’s natural heritage from its rich cultural
heritage. Evidence of the role water resources have played in the development of the Tar
Heel State’s cultural traditions is plentiful - one only has to look at the importance of the
watermen in coastal Carolina, or of the Native Americans in the Appalachians.
One of the best examples of this confluence can be found in Macon County. Cowee
Mound, on the Little Tennessee River, is the heart of the ancient settlement of Cowee, a
principle commercial center for the mountain Cherokee people. It was also the target of
the first military campaign in the South during the American Revolution.
In 2007, CWMTF and one of its most successful partners, the Land Trust for the Little
Tennessee, celebrated the conservation of the Cowee Mound tract - 68 acres adjacent to
the Needmore Gamelands, which extends the 35 miles of existing conservation along the Little Tennessee
riverfront. The project, which received a $471,000 grant in 2005 from CWMTF, preserves not only the pristine
waters of the Little Tennessee but the heritage of the area’s Cherokee tribe.
From a water quality standpoint, preservation of Cowee Mound will prevent development from degrading
water quality in one of the state’s cleanest rivers. The section of the river bordering the property is thought to
be the only area in the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains retaining its full complement of native aquatic fauna.
The river is a federally designated “Critical Habitat” for several important species, including the Spotfin Chub,
the Appalachian Elktoe and Little-Wing Pearly Mussels.
Protection of the site also preserves the state’s rich cultural heritage. For example, it will allow for the
expansion of protective buffers of rivercane canebrake along the waterway. This plant is an important source
of raw materials for modern day Cherokee artisans. The area is likely to become an important site for both
ecotourism and heritage tourism, perfectly showcasing the connection between our state’s natural resources
and its rich mountain traditions.

Budget and Funding
None of CWMTF’s achievements in 2007 would have been possible without the support
of the North Carolina legislature.
The General Assembly continued its strong support for protecting and restoring water
quality in 2007. The FY 2007-2008 budget approved by the legislature once again
appropriated $100,000,000 in recurring funds to CWMTF in each year of the biennium.
CWMTF will work to justify continued funding at this or an increased level during the
remainder of the 2007-2009 biennium, to address the more than $17 billion of needs to
protect and restore water quality in North Carolina.
Grant Criteria and Low
Income Communities
In 2007, the CWMTF Board continued to improve CWMTF’s grant review criteria by
integrating CWMTF’s existing criteria with the common criteria set out in Session Law
2005-454. As a result, in the 2007 grant cycle, more weight was given to good water
quality applications from economically distressed local governments in the category of
wastewater treatment grants. In this arena, the board demonstrated its commitment to
following the direction of the General Assembly set out in GS 113A-254(a1) to give priority
to applications for wastewater collection system projects and wastewater treatment works
projects that serve economically distressed local government units.
2007 Legislative
Action and Issues
Page 7
Innovative
Stormwater
Management
The 2007 General Assembly passed Senate
Bill 1468 requiring CWMTF to fund
innovative efforts to improve stormwater
management. The CWMTF is focusing
efforts to encourage innovative stormwater
technology and will make funding those
types of projects a priority in 2008.
On March 1, 2007, CWMTF received 186 applications totaling $155 million,
marking the first grant cycle since a decision in 2006 by CMWTF trustees
to reduce the number of grant cycles per year from two to one. In addition
to considering those new requests for water quality funding, 28 applications
deferred from previous cycles were also eligible for consideration in the
2007 cycle, adding an additional $102 million to the amount requested from
the agency.
2007 Summary of Projects
Page 8
Key projects for
the year included:
 $22.8 million to The Nature Conservancy and N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission to help conclude the historic purchase of the
International Paper tracts on Juniper Creek in Brunswick County, and on the Tar, Chowan and Roanoke rivers;
 $2.4 million to the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission to help purchase the GMS Tract on the Alligator River;
 $2.4 million to the Town of Murphy to purchase the Murphy Tract and protect Marble Creek;
 $3 million to the N.C. Division of Soil and Water Conservation for the continuation of the floodplain swine lagoon buyout program;
 $1 million to the City of New Bern for stormwater management to protect Jack Smith Creek;
 $1.9 million to help the Town of Eastover in Cumberland County make improvements to its wastewater treatment system and
protect Locks Creek;
 $3 million to the Town of Burgaw to regionalize its wastewater treatment collection system and protect Burgaw Creek in Pender County;
 $2.4 million to the Town of Mt. Gilead to rehabilitate its wastewater collection system and protect Clarks Creek in Montgomery County;
 $2.9 million to the City of Dunn to upgrade its wastewater treatment facility and protect water quality in Mingo Swamp.
Thanks to appropriations from the General Assembly and to the closing
out of old grants, the CWMTF Board of Trustees approved 217 grants,
awarding a total of $119 million, including additional funding awarded to
12 previously approved projects in calendar year 2007.
In 2007, the CWMTF Board continued to approve a diverse mix of projects:
50 percent of the approved requests involved land acquisitions; 20 percent
involved infrastructure/wastewater projects; 20 percent involved restoration/
stormwater; and the remainder of the 2007 grant awards involved planning
projects.
One of CWMTF’s most successful land acquisition partnerships continues to be with
the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation. Growth and development in North Carolina
hinders NCDPR’s ability to expand. At the same time, it also threatens the state’s water
resources. It makes good sense that these two agencies work together on behalf of North
Carolina’s natural resources.
In 2007, CWMTF awarded the division $4.6 million to help conserve almost 3,000 acres
across the state, from South Mountains State Park in the western part of the state, to
Pettigrew State Park in eastern North Carolina.
Parks protected by CWMTF in 2007 include Eno River State Park, Lake Norman State
Park, Merchants Millpond State Park, Pettigrew State Park, Stone Mountain State Park,
South Mountains State Park, Lake Waccamaw State Park, and the newly authorized Deep
River State Trail centered in Chatham County.
“Each year, trustees for these conservation trust funds have become more adept at
combining their efforts for effective conservation of our natural resources and support
of the state’s One North Carolina Naturally initiative,” said Lewis Ledford, director of the
division. “The critical properties to be acquired by these grants will help develop new
parks and greatly enhance established parks.”
The combined efforts for state parks in 2007 are directed at 24 tracts, the largest being a
1,082-acre property on the Scuppernong River at a newly designated section of Pettigrew
State Park in Washington and Tyrell counties.

In 2006, CWMTF joined with North Carolina Chapter of The Nature Conservancy and several other conservation partners to help purchase and preserve
some of the most biologically sensitive areas of eastern North Carolina when the International Paper divested itself of its land holdings across the country.
At that time, CWMTF invested more than $15.7 million to help purchase the property and protect water quality on well over 58,000 acres along the Roanoke,
Chowan and Upper Tar rivers.
In 2007, CWMTF helped complete the transaction by awarding another $22.8 million in the form of five grants – priority was placed on securing protection
of these ecologically important lands and the finalization of the massive project was completed a year ahead of the expected schedule.
The International Paper lands are a critical
addition to the acres of stream and river
front already under protection by many
conservation agencies in the state. They
are home not only to waterbodies critical
to water quality in eastern North Carolina,
but to a whole host of important species
– from the endangered red-cockaded
woodpecker and the fox squirrel to healthy
populations of black bear and river otter.
The waters of these rivers are important
to North Carolina’s economy as well
as its environmental health, as they
support many facets of the state’s tourism
industries and its fisheries.
According to The Nature Conservancy,
North Carolina’s acquisition was the largest
part of the regional effort to secure the
International Paper lands available in the
entire Southeast –an effort which spanned
10 states and totaled 218,000 acres of
ecologically important rivers, streams
and forests. CWMTF is extremely proud
to have played a role in this landmark
conservation project.

Carolina’s biggest water pollution concerns, and nowhere is that more
evident than in the state’s urban areas. In 2007, CWMTF awarded the City
of Raleigh a $1.1 million grant to fund three stream enhancement projects to
help manage stormwater in a center city watershed.
The effort will make improvements in the Pigeon House Branch Watershed,
which includes three neighborhood parks between the Cameron Park and Five
Points neighborhood. Streams running through Smallwood Drive, Cowper
Drive and Edna Metz Wells parks will be enhanced to help reduce erosion
during heavy rains. The improvements will better manage stormwater runoff
from a 450-acre area, most of which is paved surface.
The project also includes construction of a man-made wetland at Fred
Fletcher Park in order to contain stormwater runoff from a 60-acre drainage
area off of the major thoroughfare of Glenwood Avenue.

Stormwater management is not just an issue for North Carolina’s major cities, however. Smaller communities also
face challenges in dealing with water pollution that results when rains runs across hard, paved surfaces and into
the watershed. Improving stormwater management can be costly for towns that face the dilemma of
balancing economic growth with protection of vital resources.
One such community is the growing coastal town of Swansboro in Onslow County. In 2007, CWMTF fully
funded the town’s $335,000 request to use stormwater management practices to protect and restore water quality
in Hawkins Creek and the White Oak River.
Page 12

The project implements recommendations made in the Hawkins Creek Restoration Planning Study, also funded by CWMTF.
The plan mapped stormwater outfalls, identified and prioritized areas where best management practices could
be effectively used to control runoff and identified buffer and corridors.
2007 grant funds will be used to target stormwater management in three drainage areas and to
construct two small wetland areas and a retention pond to hold and filter rainwater
before it flows into the creek and river.
Wastewater treatment and handling projects comprised 20 percent of the grants
funded by CWMTF in 2007, making it the largest funding category behind
land acquisitions for the agency. CWMTF has established itself as an extremely
valuable resource for communities struggling to adequately protect the state’s
water resources while effectively dealing with increased wastewater treatment
demands.
In response to direction last year from the General Assembly, CWMTF
trustees increased consideration given to low-income communities in funding
wastewater collection system projects and wastewater treatment projects.
Emphasis was placed on funding requests from the communities least able
to afford wastewater treatment improvements. Economically distressed local
government units received $33.1 million out of the $39.3 million in CWMTF
funds awarded for wastewater projects in 2007.
One of those communities was Harnett County, which received a $500,000
grant to help construct a pumping station, force main, gravity sewers, and
wastewater treatment plant to eliminate failing septic systems and to facilitate
regionalization of wastewater management.
The project will have a significant effect on water quality in the Little River,
since it will allow for better control over the amount of pollutants flowing into
the river. Approximately 1,350 septic systems will be eliminated including
approximately 180 failing septic systems.
Similarly, CWMTF also awarded the city of Dunn $2.9 million to upgrade its
wastewater treatment facility and protect water quality in Mingo Swamp.

Throughout its 11-year history, CWMTF has emphasized the value of creating, expanding and
promoting the partnership approach to solving the state’s water quality problems. In 2007, CWMTF
made its seventh grant award to continue the restoration efforts of a coalition in Haywood County
working to address nonpoint source pollution in the Pigeon River Watershed.
The Southwestern NC Resource Conservation and Development Council and its core partners, the
Haywood Soil and Water Conservation District and the Haywood Waterways Association, have long
been working to implement best management practices to restore streams and creeks and to address
a wide variety of sedimentation issues to improve water quality in the region.
The 2007 project expands the partnership to include the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the
Tennessee Valley Authority and the N.C. Ecosystem Enhancement Program. The CWMTF grant for
$504,000 will help improve water quality in the impaired Hyatt Creek Watershed through the buy-out
of two farms on the major tributary of Oxner Creek. A hog operation located directly on the
streambank will be purchased and demolished and an adjacent dairy farm will be closed down.
The buy-out of the animal operations will significantly reduce the amount of nonpoint source pollution
flowing into the creek.
In addition, the project will establish approximately four acres of permanent conservation easements
along streams in the watershed and restore approximately 2,830 feet of protective buffer area along the streams.
The ultimate goal of the project is to remove Hyatt Creek from the state’s 303(d) list of impaired waters and improve the biological integrity of the watershed.
The total effort in the Pigeon River Watershed demonstrates a commitment by all those involved to continue to share resources. It also shows that the
conservation community and government agencies can and do work well with landowners and the community at large to solve problems.
