Cankerworm Spraying

In the past several years, Charlotte has been experiencing heavy tree canopy stress, not only from drought and thoughtless developers, but also from an ever increasing population of cankerworms.

Very soon, in late March or early April the City will be spaying BT to control these worms.

For the answers to any questions you might have about this spraying please visit the following site for more information: http://cankerworm.charmeck.org.

Restoring the American
Chestnut Tree
by Steve Copulsky

Following up on our successful tree planting event, please join us for our next meeting on February 27 for a special presentation by Steve Barilovits III, President of The Carolinas Chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation, who will tell us about the history and importance of the American Chestnut and the work that is being done to restore this majestic tree.

The American chestnut tree reigned over 200 million acres of eastern woodlands from Maine to Florida, and from the Piedmont west to the Ohio Valley, until succumbing to a lethal imported infestation, known as the chestnut blight, during the first half of the 20th century. An estimated 4 billion American chestnuts, 1/4 of the hardwood tree population, grew within this range. The loss of these trees is considered by some measures to be among the greatest environmental disasters to befall the Western Hemisphere since the last Ice Age.

The American Chestnut Tree was an essential component of the entire eastern US ecosystem. A late-flowering, reliable, and productive tree, unaffected by seasonal frosts, it was the single most important food source for a wide variety of wildlife from bears to birds. Rural communities depended upon the annual nut harvest as a cash crop to feed livestock. The chestnut lumber industry was a major sector of rural economies. Chestnut wood is straight-grained and easily worked, lightweight and highly rot-resistant, making it ideal for fence posts, railroad ties, barn beams and home construction, as well as for fine furniture and musical instruments. Many of the wooden fences that still exist on the Blue Ridge Parkway were made from chestnut trees as are many of the old 19th century cabins, such as those in Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Tree Planting Rescheduled to February 9th

Join us on February 9th
Yes, you can absolutely do something to help air and water quality and help fight Global Warming!

On Saturday February 9th from 9:00-12:00 join friends at the Torrence Creek Greenway where we will be planting about 500 trees, including River Birch, Red maple, Silky Dogwood, Serviceberry, Tulip Poplar, Black Gum, Loblolly Pine and Virginia Pine. PBS will be taping this activity for an upcoming program.

Wear work clothes, boots and bring gloves. We will supply tools, drinking water and directions on how to plant the trees at the site.

PLUS, REFRESHMENTS ON US.

Directions: Take I -77 north from Charlotte to exit 23, Gilead Road. Go Left (west) on Gilead about 1.5 miles to Bradford Hill Lane. Turn left on Bradford Hill Lane and follow it to the Torrence Creek Greenway. Park along Bradford Hill.

Torrence Creek Greenway

The Torrence Creek Greenway runs 1.4 miles through woods and behind neighborhoods off Gilead Road in Huntersville. One part of the paved trail runs through a meadow, where neighbors say they often see deer. Another section passes by a series of large rock formations, with some rocks as big as school buses. Short sections of the greenway are boardwalks that meander through wetlands.

It's a great place to hike or ride a bike, especially with children, who will love to see the unusual rock formations. Adults will be surprised how much fun the almost three mile up-and-back trip can be.

Future expansion of this greenway is planned.

To drive to Torrence Creek Greenway, take exit 23 WEST off I-77. Go about a mile and a half and turn left onto Bradford Hill Lane. The greenway crosses Bradford Hill Lane. Parking is allowed along Bradford Hill Lane.

This effort is a partnership involving American Forests, Central Piedmont Community College, the Sierra Club Central Piedmont Group and Mecklenburg County. The effort is funded by both the Turner Family Foundation and the Clean Water Management Trust Fund of NC.

Torrence Greenway is in the McDowell Creek Watershed and is impacted from development in Huntersville and surrounding areas. It is listed on the state's 303(d) list of impaired streams as a result of sediment entering the stream from nearby development. It also receives excessive storm water runoff due to all the increases in impervious cover throughout the watershed.

To sign up call Charlotte Sierra office 704.374.1125 or email Rick Roti at rroti@carolina.rr.com

See you there.

Billboards in Downtown Charlotte
Long time Charlotte resident and Sierra member Bill Keenan wants people to be alerted to the fact that the Billboard Industry is heavily lobbying the Planning Commission to allow tri-sides, wallscapes, and large LED signage on buildings in downtown Charlotte.

Bill invites concerned citizens to attend the next public stakeholder meeting on this subject:

Thursday May 17 8th Floor -- Govt. Center -- 6:00-8:00 PM

Charlotte Recycling
Several local members with an interest in recycling have formed our Team Recycle. They are tasked with looking at Charlotte's recycling program with an eye toward improving participation and other aspects. Did you know that the City does not pick up recyclables at places like the YMCA? Hard to believe but true. Anyone interested in joining us to seek a solution, email or give Chatham a call at 704.374.1125

April 23, 2007 -- Dr. Mayewski to speak at Davidson College
On Monday Evening 4/23/2007, Dr. Mayewski, Professor and Director of Univ. of Maine Climate Change Institute is speaking at Davidson College.

When: 8 pm, FREE and open to the public, Q and A to follow speech.

Where: Tyler-Tallman Performance Hall,

OLF Hearing - A HUGE Success

On Thursday, April 19th, Senator Elizabeth Dole finally declared her opposition to the Navy’s proposed site C for the outlying landing field (OLF) in northeastern NC.

This was based in no small part on the turnout and opposition expressed by nearly 400 people including National Sierra Club President, Lisa Renstrom, NC Director Molly Diggins, local group members Karl Munn, Melissa Pease, Gene Stewart, and Lloyd Scher, all of whom joined more than 70 others in speaking at the Hearing.

OLF Hearing - April 17th -- Charlotte
Charlotte Convention Center
South College Street, Ballroom A
4:30-6:30pm - Sign Up to speak.
Hearing runs from 7:00-10:00.
Watch this website for updates:

The US Navy is holding this public hearing where anyone can speak on their proposal to build an outlying landing field (OLF) in northeastern NC in Washington and Beaufort counties. This practice landing field will be located near Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge where thousands of snow geese and swans spend the winter. The area is very rich in wildlife.

The Sierra Club, Governor Easley, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Audubon, Ducks Unlimited, National Wildlife Federation and more than 100 other local, state and national organizations oppose the plan because of the adverse impacts to an internationally significant public trust lands. The Navy has stated that they plan to "control" bird populations by removing their source of food, poisoning them, or as a last resort, shooting them. Another major consideration is the collision potential between jets and these large birds . Both the jets and these bird populations would fly at night.

Please plan to turn out for this hearing and voice your opinion on this highly questionable use of your taxpayer dollars. You are not required to speak. Just being there is a great contribution. This is the only hearing on the OLF which will be held outside of eastern NC. Show the Navy that people from the Charlotte care about keeping Pocosin Lakes Wildlife Refuge a safe home for wildlife.

***Volunteers Needed*** Help turn out the crowds for the OLF Hearing.Join us on Thursday night, April 12th from 6-9PM for free pizza after which we'll be calling our members to help turn out the crowds for the OLF Hearing. Call or email Chatham to sign up: 704.374.1125 or Chatham.olive@sierraclub.org

Brent will be driving down from Boone so let's have a good turn-out. More on App State's renewable energy initiative can be found at www.wind.appstate.edu.

Help Stop Tree Removal in Shelby...
Sierra member Benton Reid is in need of more people to help combat the needless removal of large hardwoods in Shelby. Here’s the scoop:

Shelby's city fathers have hired a contractor to "trim " trees to protect power lines from ice storms. The problem comes when the over zealous cutters persuade the homeowner and absentee landlords that it is easier to remove the entire tree, rather than just trim it. Their explanation is that removal of the entire tree is free, and then there are no leaves to be raked, and " it looks diseased anyway" and has to come down.

More information is in today's local newspaper the Shelby Star which can be accessed online at www.shelbystar.com.

A grass roots campaign sprouted to counteract this outrage. The Group is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/saveshelbytrees and there are pictures of the damage and carnage.

Our email address is saveshelbytrees@yahoogroups.com and all contact is welcomed, as are suggestions.

Over the Cliff ... Almost.
On February 28, the NC Utilities Commission handed down their decision on Duke Energy's request to build 2 new 800 MGW coal fired plants at Cliffside NC. Read more...

Over the Cliff...Almost.
On February 28 the NC Utilities Commission handed down their decision on Duke Energy's request to build 2 new 800 MGW coal fired plants at Cliffside NC. The commission is allowing only one of the two units requested and Duke must retire their smaller plants (200MGW) on site and invest 1% in Energy Efficiency.

We applaud the Utilities Commission for responding to the state Attorney General, members of the North Carolina General Assembly and the public by allowing only one of the two proposed Cliffside units. At a time when states around the country are choosing clean, reliable alternatives to coal, North Carolina should approach its own “to build or not to build” question cautiously and pragmatically.

But one new coal plant is still one too many. Until Duke Energy accepts responsibility to deal with global warming emissions from its coal plants, we will continue to oppose even a downsized Cliffside expansion.

Absolute and bountiful thanks to all local Sierra members and everyone else who has worked so hard to keep these global warming monsters off our Carolina landscape.

"Gambling with Coal"
How Future Climate Laws Will Make New Coal Power Plants More Expensive

Member Beth Henry has sent letters signed by a number of people to the NC Utilities Commission and Charlotte Observer (see below). The third file, "gambling with coal" is the Union of Concerned Scientists report referenced in her letter to the Commission.

Cliffside Letter	Charlotte Observer Letter	Gambling with Coal report

January 26, 2007
ACTION ALERT!!

Public comments still being taken on the Cliffside Coal Plant

Send your comments ASAP to the NC Utilities Commission at vance@ncuc.net

Cliffside will be a global warming machine emitting over 11 million tons of carbon dioxide into the air annually.
Duke Energy hopes to have Cliffside exempted from any future carbon regulation by the federal government, but that is not a sure thing.
Even though the price of Cliffside has jumped from $2 billion to close to $4 billion Duke still has not considered energy efficiency or renewable energy as a less expensive option for ratepayers.
NC Utilities Commission studies have shown that a blend of energy efficiency and renewable energy can substantially reduce the need for more power plants.

PLUS…Send a letter to the Charlotte Observer.
We need EVERYONE to email a letter about Cliffside to opinion@charlotteobserver.com. Letters should be limited to less than 150 words and refer to an article in the paper. Use one of the article links at the bottom of this page to frame your response.

We also strongly encourage you to contact the Observer's editorial board with the request that The Observer take an editorial stand against Cliffside. Send this to acaulkins@charlotteobserver.com.

Duke Energy's rush to build Cliffside contradicts Duke CEO Jim Rogers' public statements about the urgent need to reduce global warming emissions.
Cliffside is one of more than 150 coal plants in the US being fast-tracked by utility companies eager to get their plants online before carbon regulation kicks in.
If Cliffside and all the other 150+ coal plants get built, the US Dept. of Energy predicts that CO2 emissions from coal plants will increase 50% by 2030, from 1.97 billion metric tons in 2006 to 2.93 billion metric tons.

Speak out for climate protection & clean energy in NC: FINAL HEARING on Duke Energy's plan to build two coal-fired power plants

Attend the hearings at NC Utilities Commission.

Public testimony begins 9am on Jan. 17.
Witness the formal hearing afterward.

Current Situation

Duke Energy's case for the Cliffside coal plants was thoroughly discredited in previous hearings - even before the billion-dollar cost overrun was exposed last month.
Duke now admits its $3 billion plant would not be "least cost" as required by NC law. It is scrambling to justify the Cliffside plant and its 11 million tons/year of greenhouse gas emissions.
The only question is whether Duke's influence will bully the state into "staying the course" with old, hazardous technologies - and even make customers pay up front.
A new state study proves energy efficiency and renewables can displace the need for new large coal and nuclear plants.
Despite its greenwashing PR, Duke is ignoring efficiency and renewables. It wants to maximize sales of coal and nuclear electricity.
North Carolina can and must begin the urgent work of cutting greenhouse gases by ramping up proven efficiency programs via the NC Energy Office.
It is critically important that utilities commissioners show independence - and that members of the public scrutinize their deliberations.

Cliffside Public Hearing a Huge Success!

The North Carolina Utilities Commission held a public hearing Wednesday, January 10 to discuss Duke Energy's plans to build Cliffside, a coal fired power plant on the Cleveland/Rutherford County border, 50 miles west of Charlotte. There were more than 250 people crowded into the room for the hearing, exceeding capacity!

Thanks to everyone who came in support of the Sierra Club and especially everyone who spoke in opposition to the Cliffside expansion. We gathered together to declare that investing $3 billion in a coal fired power plant is a thoroughly bad financial and environmental investment with many hidden costs. The people of North Carolina need and deserve more cost effective energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions to meet our electricity demand.

Even if you were not able to enter the hearing room, your presence made a difference to the commissioners and the press. The commission really wants and needs to know what the public thinks before making its decision to approve or reject Duke Energy's application for the plant's construction.

This is only the beginning of our efforts to block this plant's construction. If you did not speak on Wednesday, we are asking that you send your comments in writing before next Friday, January 19, to the Commission:

We applaud the enthusiasm of Sierra Club volunteers, Carolinas Clean Air Coalition volunteers, and everyone who rallied behind us from many area churches and other civic organizations. Let's keep our energy levels high for renewable, environmentally-friendly and cost efficient energy solutions!

January 2007: Action Alert!

Duke Energy is moving forward at rapid speed with its plans to expand a coal fired power plant on the Cleveland/Rutherford County border.

The project needs the approval of the North Carolina Utilities Commission.

Coming soon is our big opportunity to make our voices heard to that body so that environmental concerns are taken into account on this important decision.

The Utilities Commission will be holding a public hearing in Charlotte at 7 PM on January 10th.

It will be held at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Library on 310 N. Tryon St.

We need you to be there speaking out!

If you are interested in speaking, you can sign up the night of the event. If you want help with talking points, please feel free to contact Tom Jensen in the Raleigh office at tom.jensen@sierraclub-nc.org or 919-833-8467. Please let him know if you are planning to attend. There is no requirement to speak. Just being there is every bit as important to express your support for clean energy.

Can't make it Wednesday night? On Thursday the 11th a similar hearing will be held in Shelby at 10:00 AM at City Hall, 300 S. Washington St. You can also attend the hearing to be held in Raleigh on January 17th at 10:00 AM at the Utilities Commission, Dobbs Building.

In addition, please choose to write a letter to the Commission stating your opposition to the Cliffside expansion. Send letters to:

For more information please contact Tom Jensen or go to http://nc.sierraclub.org/issues/concerns/cliffside.html

Thank you so much for your help on this important issue! By showing strength in numbers, we can work to ensure that the Utilities Commission seriously assesses the not only the environmental impact of this project but more cost effective energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions to meeting our electricity demand.
