Powell, Chris

The floodplain of the Roanoke River has one of the mid-Atlantic states' most diverse eco-systems. Protecting the quality of the river is an on-going concern. In 1999, plans to build a paper plant near Weldon and more recently a company's plan to turn eighteen miles of the river into a barge canal were both canceled through citizens' protests. Still, concern exists as to whether that support will continue into the future, especially in an area where industry is needed and jobs are scarce.

In 1983 the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development launched a new program called Stream Watch. The program aims to encourage citizens’ awareness of watersheds and water resource management, and to establish a partnership among citizens, industries, and state and local governments. Over the past three years, a strong network of diverse groups has been active in the conservation of North Carolina’s major river basins.
