Master Plan for the Mountains-to-Sea Trail Extension in Holly Shelter Game Land

The Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail (FMST), with local land managers and partners, are developing a master plan for extending the Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST) over four miles in Holly Shelter Game Land. This MST extension will seek to connect existing sections of the MST in Holly Shelter Game Land (that utilize Holly Shelter Game Land unpaved roads) to the US 17/NC 210 intersection. Unlike the current MST in Holly Shelter, the new section of trail will be separated from the Game Land’s road network and have a designated trailhead parking facility. This will greatly increase safety, access to, and awareness of Holly Shelter’s incredible natural resource.

DEQ Directs Chemours to Expand Well Testing in New Hanover, Brunswick, Columbus, and Pender Counties

Raleigh, NC – At DEQ’s direction, Chemours is expanding sampling for PFAS contamination in private drinking water wells in New Hanover, Brunswick, Columbus, and Pender counties.  More than 14,100 additional residences may now qualify for sampling.

This expansion comes after DEQ staff completed extensive review of results to date, floodplain mapping and Chemours’ 2022 updated interim sampling and drinking water plan.  The expanded sampling footprint in the four-county region now includes:

  • A floodplain buffer that includes the Intracoastal Waterway and significant portions of tributaries of the Cape Fear River. Wells within a ¼-mile of this new buffer will qualify for testing.
  • Updated buffers around all detects to include ¼-mile around the parcel, not the well. This ensures neighbors within a ¼ mile of a property with well contamination will be tested.
  • An updated public water supply layer with accurate information for all counties. Wells within ¼ miles of public water lines are eligible for sampling.
  • Additional requirements for biosolid land application sites.

Residents interested in having their wells samples should call Chemours at (910) 678-1100 or complete Chemours’ online form.  If prompted to leave a message, residents should leave their full contact information and address to ensure their call is recorded.  The return call may come from Parsons Environmental, the authorized third-party contractor conducting the well sampling for Chemours. The private well must be the primary source of drinking water for the residence to qualify for testing.

Residents who have previously requested sampling and are newly eligible will be contacted soon to arrange sampling.

Additional information about well sampling for residents in the four county area is available online.

Pender County Board of Commissioners honor weightlifting champion Desmond Jordan

BURGAW- On November 20th, the Board of County Commissioners issued a proclamation honoring Pender County resident Desmond Jordan.

Jordan was born and raised in Rocky Point. He went to Pender High School and was a member of the second graduating class of Heide Trask Senior High School. At Trask, Jordan was the first football carrier, 300-yard runner, and the first 1,500-plus-yard runner.

After high school, Jordan went to Winston-Salem State University and succeeded on the football and baseball teams. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree, he got a yearlong contract to play for the Bielawa Owls, a professional football team based in Poland.

After his contract, Jordan came home, joined Cape Fear Rugby Club, and was a coach at Pender High School. He opened the House of Gains in 2015, a workout facility in Burgaw, North Carolina.

Desmond Jordan and his family

A truck accident seven years ago left his right arm “completely smashed.” Doctors told him he would never be able to lift weights, let alone powerlift. He wanted to prove them wrong, and he did.

Jordan recently won first place at the United States Powerlifting Association World Championships in Coventry, England, having deadlifted over 800 pounds.

Jordan is an inspiration. Despite the obstacles he overcame them and worked tirelessly to achieve many goals in weightlifting. He holds 17 state records, four national records, and the recent world record.

Opioid Settlement–Strategy Proposal for Pender County–RFP #24-260

In July 2021, Attorney General Josh Stein announced a historic $750 million agreement over an 18-year period that will help bring desperately needed resources to North Carolina communities harmed by the opioid epidemic.  A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the State and local governments directs how opioid settlement funds are distributed and used in our state.  To maximize funds flowing to North Carolina communities on the front lines of the opioid epidemic, the MOA allocates 15 percent of settlement funds to the State and sends the remaining 85 percent to North Carolina’s 100 counties and 17 municipalities.  Pender County seeks to fund eligible organizations to the opportunity to implement evidence-based, high impact strategies to address the opioid epidemic in the county.  In addition, the County seeks to build capacity and local infrastructure to respond to the overdose crisis.  The goal is to reduce overdose deaths, emergency department visits for overdose, and illicit opioid involvement.  Pender County Government is scheduled to receive $6, 816, 613 over an 18-year period.  Before spending settlement funds, every local county or municipality must select which opioid mitigation strategies they would like to fund.  In October 2022, the Pender County Health Department convened county agencies and partners to conduct a planning process that included a GAP analysis that included a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Assessment.  Five team meetings were devoted to presentations from stakeholders that reviewed resources that are available to Pender County residents suffering from addiction, in treatment programs, or post-recovery programs.  Three community meetings were held to collect resident input.  Utilizing the information gathered, the team identified three priority strategies.  The top three focus areas are Early Intervention, Recovery Support Services, and Evidence-Based Addiction Treatment.  Proposals shall be submitted related to the three top focus areas in accordance with terms and conditions of RFP # 24-260.  Click here to view the full RFP and Attachment A Project Line Item Budget.  Only written questions will be considered and must be submitted via email to purchasing@pendercountync.gov by December 4, 2023 at 5 pm, with “Opioid Settlement – Strategy Proposal for Pender County  – RFP # 24-260” as the subject line.  Proposals shall be limited to 50 pages, and must be submitted no later than 12 noon on January 5, 2024.  Proposals must be submitted by one of the following:  By Mail: Attn: Trisha Newton, PO Box 1578, Burgaw, NC 28425, Reference RFQ # 24-260.
