The Trading
Ford Historical District Preservation Association is the latest organization to
announce its support for Alcoa’s relicensing of its hydroelectric dams along the
Yadkin River. The association formally endorsed the Relicensing
Settlement Agreement in a filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC) earlier this month.
The relicensing
agreement is now formally supported by 26 organizations, including North
Carolina and South Carolina state agencies, local governments along the Yadkin
River, environmental organizations, homeowner associations and recreational
users.
“The
relicensing of the Yadkin Project is in the best interests of cultural resources
in the Yadkin Project area, and is beneficial to the public in Davie, Davidson,
Montgomery, Rowan, and Stanly Counties,” reads a certificate signed by Ann
Brownlee, president of the Trading Ford Historic District Preservation
Association.
The Trading
Ford Historical District Preservation Association has been an active
participant in the relicensing process for nearly a decade. It joins Stanly
County and Davidson County as groups that have formally added their names to
the list of relicensing supporters this year.
Relicensing
supporters now include:
State and federal agencies, including the US Forest Service, the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, the SC Department of Health & Environmental Control, and the SC Department of Natural Resources.
Local governments along the Yadkin River, including the City of Albemarle, the Town of Badin and Davidson, Montgomery, Rowan and Stanly counties.
Environmental organizations, including American Rivers, the Land Trust for Central North Carolina, the Nature Conservancy (S.C. Chapter) and the S.C. Coastal Conservation League.
Local homeowners and recreational groups, including the Badin Lake Association, the High Rock Lake Association, the Piedmont Boat Club, and the Uwharrie Point Community Association.
Business organizations, including the High Rock Business Owners Group, the Pee Dee River Coalition, and the Salisbury/Rowan Association of Realtors.
