Info

STANLY COUNTY the area requesting the money is considered to be “best soil” or prime farmland. No in depth study has been done so far of Stanly County in order to determine this. The Soil Survey of Stanly County has designated certain soil phases to have the potential for prime farmland soils, but a more specific study needs to be done in order to determine exactly where these areas are. Currently, a Regional Farmland Preservation Study is in the beginning stages. Surface Waters and Drainage Systems, Flood Hazard Areas, and Wetlands Surface Water and Drainage Areas Wetland Areas Stanly County lies within the watersheds of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River and Rocky River. Approximately two-thirds of Stanly County drains into the Rocky River and one-third drains directly into the Yadkin-Pee Dee River. The Yadkin River begins in north-central North Carolina in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and drains much of central North Carolina and eastern South Carolina. Near Morrow Mountain State Park, the Uhwarrie River joins the Yadkin River to form the Pee Dee River, a river that ultimately drains into the Atlantic Ocean south of Myrtle Beach. The Yadkin-Pee Dee River has been dammed in four locations on the eastern border of Stanly County. This system of dams is part of a chain of man-made lakes extending from Blewitt Falls near Rockingham upstream to High Rock Reservoir in Davidson/Rowan Counties. Beginning in the north, the Tuckertown Dam, located northeast of New London, was created to form Tuckertown Reservoir that extends to the northeastern corner of the county. The Narrows or Badin Dam, located east of Badin, was created to form the 5,350-acre Narrows Reservoir. Immediately downstream from the Narrows Dam is the Falls Dam that creates the Falls Reservoir in the vicinity of Morrow Mountain State Park. Each of these systems is managed by Yadkin-APGI, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alcoa, Inc., formally the Aluminum Corporation of America (Yadkin-APGI web site), as part of the Yadkin Project. The Yadkin Project is a hydroelectrical project licensed by the Federal Energy Regulator Commission (FERC). Tillery Reservoir, a 5,000-acre hydroelectrical reservoir managed by the Carolina Power and Light Company forms behind the Norwood Dam located east of Norwood. Much of the eastern portion of Stanly County drains eastward directly into the Yadkin and Pee Dee Rivers or via such tributaries as Mountain Creek. Both the Yadkin and Pee Dee Rivers form the eastern boundaries of Stanly County (see Figure 3-3). The western and central part of the county drain from the northwest to the south via tributaries including Big Bear Creek, Island Creek, and Town Creek that then flow southward into the Rocky River. South of Norwood, the Rocky River joins the Pee Dee River. The Rocky River forms most of the southern boundary of the county. Figure 3-3 illustrates wetland areas within Stanly County. Generally these wetland areas are limited to isolated small-scale wetland areas located in valley bottoms, and long major rivers and tributaries of Stanly County. Flood Hazard Areas Floodplains serve a multi-purpose role as storage of rain waters, as recharge areas for groundwater, and wildlife habitat. Areas of Stanly County within the 100-year floodplain are identified in Figure 3-3. These flood hazard are designated by the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) for Stanly County and are produced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Areas within the 100-year floodplain are typically subject to a one in 100 chance of flooding within a given year. Land Use Plan 3-6 6/02
