Abstract:

Like many areas in the Coastal Plain of North Carolina, Edgecombe County has a lot of land with a high-water table. This makes some sites unsuitable for septic tank installation, but there are no ordinances or building codes prohibiting such activities. Community leaders in Edgecombe County are searching for solutions to better living standards through more adequate sewage disposal for rural residences.

Bailey is the District Conservationist in charge of Soil Conservation Service activities in Lee County, and Mary Garber has been a sportswriter for various North Carolina journals and newspapers since late World War Two.
