Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018) 060319 HCBOC Page 62 Form W-9 (Rev. 11-2017) By signing the filled-out form, you: 1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued), 2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or 3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership Income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners' share of effectively connected Income, and 4 . Certi/y that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) Indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct. See What is FATCA reporting, later, for further information. Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester's form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9. Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are: • An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien; • A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States; • An estate (other than a foreign estate); or • A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301 , 7701-7). Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States ere generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners' share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, In certain cases where e Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner Is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding ta,c . Therefore, ii you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status end avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income. In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on Its allocable share of net Income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States. • In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity; • In the case of a granter trust with a U.S. granter or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. granter or other U .S . owner of the granter trust and not the trust; and • tn the case of a U.S . trust (other than a grant or trust), the U.S. trust (other than a granter trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust. Foreign parson. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated a:; a U .S. person, do not use Form W-9 . Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515. Withholding of Tax on Nonresid8flt Allens and Foreign Entities). Nonresident alien who becomes a realdent alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the tenns of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a "saving clause." Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from ta,c to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes. If you are a U.S. resident alien who Is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of Income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items. 1 . The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien. 2. The treaty article addressing the income. 3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and Its exceptions. 4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from lax. S. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article. Page2 Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily pres8!1t in the United States. Und~ l:J .S. law, this . student will become s resident alien for tax purposes if h1s or her stay 1n the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States . A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and 1s relying on this exception to claim an exemption from ta>< on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Fann W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption. If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-6 or Fonn 8233. Backup Withholding What Is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 28% of such payments. This is called "backup withholding." Payments that may be subject to backup withholding Include Interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Reel estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding. You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your co1Tect TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your ta,cable interest and dividends on your tax return . Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholdlng H: 1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester, 2 .

Fees are based on the cost of providing services. Policy The clinic is to operate a system of financial management to: • meet the standard of grantor agencies • safeguard all income and expenditures -fees collected (generated through reimbursement) will be maintained in an identifiable line item in the Health Department and County Finance Office . • assure collection of revenues from all sources with financial obligations of the serv ice The policy will include procedures for (I) Setting Charge s, (II) Definitions (III) Billing Clients and (IV) Procedure for Aging of Accounts (Bad Debt Write-Off), (V) Patient Demographic (Vl) Determining Eligibility for Discounts. 060319 HCBOC Page 73 Page 2 Procedure I. Setting Charges for Service a. In accordance with G.S. 130-A-39(g), the Board of Health has the authority and duty to establish charges for services provided in clinics. Specific methods used in seeking reimbursement will be through third-party coverage, including Medicaid, Medicare (for massive immunizations), private insurance, and individual patient pay. The Board of County Commissioners adopts fees established by the Board of Health. The Board of Health and Board of Commissioners adopt the fees along with the fiscal years budget process. b. No client will be denied services nor subject to any variation in services based solely on the inability to pay or regardless of the source of payment. C. Eligibility: Each client must cooperate in: • an eligibility determination; and • provision of documentation of third party eligibility (Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance) for which they are eligible; and • provision of declaration of income. 1. Cost-based services: Charges are to be based on an accounting analysis of all services provided. The Board of Health accepts the Medical Fees in the United States 50th percentile times geographic adjustment factors for North Carolina, unless the approved Medicaid rates are greater. If the Medicaid rate is greater then that will be the acceptable charge. A comparison of the Medicaid cost study is considered. The Fee Setting Committee reviews and makes recommendations to Board of Health. 2. Service discounts: A schedule of discounts is to be used to adjust most service charges for clients between 101 % and 250% of poverty. Family Planning clients with income <100% of the Federal Poverty Level are not charged for Family Planning services. 3. The discounts will be based on: 1. household members (economic unit), family and 11. mcome. 4. Financial Agreements/Assignment of Benefits Authorization is to be scanned in Patagonia Electronic Health Record to acknowledge responsibility for services not covered by third party carriers. Patients at 0% do not have to sign Financial Agreement. 060319 HCBOC Page 74 Page 3 II. Definition: 1. Adults and Emancipated minors : 164.502(g)(2) a. Emancipated minors : In North Carolina, there are only two ways for a minor to be emancipated (see G .S. 7B-3500 et seq): • By marriage, or • By an order of emancipation granted by a court. b. Adults : In North Carolina, a person age 18 or older is an adult for purposes of making health care decisions . 2. Minor's consent sufficient for certain medical health services (G .S. 90-21.5) a . Any minor may give effective consent to a physician licensed to practice medicine in North Carolina for medical health services for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of (i) venereal disease and other diseases reportable und G.S. I30A-135, (ii) pregnancy, (iii) abuse of controlled substances or alcohol, and (iv) emotional disturbance. This section does not authorize the inducing, of an abortion, performance of a sterilization operation, or commitment to a mental institution or hospital for confinement or treatment of a mental condition. This section does not prohibit the admission of a minor to a treatment facility upon his own written application in an emergency situation as authorized by G.S . 122C-222. b. Any minor who is emancipated may consent to any medical treatment, dental and health services for himself or for his child . (1971, c . 35 ; 1977, c .582, s .2 ; 1983 , c .302, S 2; 1985, C . 5899, S. 31,) 3. Services to minors: • Family planning services shall be available to all who voluntarily request such services without regard to age or parental consent. (15A NCAC 21A.0503) a . Family Planning -clinic designed to assist women in planning their childbearing schedule; detailed history, lab work, physical exam, counseling and education given by appropriate provider. Women of childbearing age regardless of residency; sliding fee scale, Medicaid and third party insurance . Clients must be charged based on household members and income and discounts may be established for persons between 101 %-250% of poverty based on sliding fee scale . If client loses birth control pills a $10.00 per pack 060319 HCBOC Page 75 Page 4 will be accessed to the client and sliding fee scale will apply. Depo-Provera is to be billed separately from physical fee. If during the course of a Family Planning or Maternal Health visit the clinician needs to rule out STDs to meet standards of care , the patient cannot be charged for STD testing and treatment. [The STD services must be provided at no cost to the client. Medicaid can be billed and if permission is given by client then third party insurance can be billed; but co-pays, co-insurance/deductibles for STD are adjusted off.] The billing staff must determine, as accurately as possible , the client's ability to pay based upon family income. This determination and notice of any applicable waiver should be made prior to the delivery of services and must be conducted each time a client requests services. When considering charges to minors for family planning, several conditions must be taken into account. If the minor is unemancipated and confidentiality of services is not a concern, the family 's income must be considered in determining the charge for the services. When a minor requests confidential services, without the involvement of a principal family member, charges for services must be based on the minor 's income. Income actually available to the minor, such as wages from part-time employment, stipends and allowances paid directly to the minor , should be considered in determining the minor's ability to pay for services. Those services normally provided by parents/guardians, e.g., food, shelter, transportation, tuition, etc., should not be included in determining a minor's income . Under certain circumstances where confidentiality is restricted to limited members of the family , e .g., one parent is aware of the minor seeking services but the other is not because of disagreement regarding the minor's right to receive family planning services, the charges shall be based on the minor's income if the minor's confidentially would be breached in seeking the full charge . Billing staff must seek payment from third parties who are authorized or legally obligated to pay for services unless , in doing so, patient confidentiality would be compromised . Third parties should be billed at full charge and not discounted, unless there is a contracted reimbursement rate that must be billed per the third party agreement. Family Planning patients will have fees assessed based on declaration of income if no proof of income is provided. The use of NC Debt Set-Off is acceptable for collecting past due amounts for Family Planning . Bills/receipts given to clients at the time of service show total charges, as well as any allowable discounts. Where a third party is responsible, bills are submitted to that party . Bills to third party show total charges, without discounts , unless there is a contracted reimbursement rate that must be bill per the third party agreement. Family Planning Services will not be denied because the patient has a delinquent account balance. No Medical Doctor referral is required for patients seeking Family Planning services . 060319 HCBOC Page 76 Page 5 4. Child Health clients must be charged based on household members and income and discounts established for clients between 101-250% of poverty based on sliding fee scale. 5. Maternal Health clients must be charged based on household members and income and discounts established for clients between 101-250% of poverty based on sliding fee scale. 6. Adult Health clients must be charged based on household members and income and discounts established for clients between 101-250% of poverty based on sliding fee scale. If Adult Health services falls under flat fee service follow the Flat Fee Policy. 7. Communicable Disease Control -this program deals with the investigation and follow-up of all reportable communicable and/or sexually transmitted diseases, to include: testing, diagnosis, treatment and referring as appropriate. It also provides follow-up and treatment of Tuberculosis cases and their contacts. The services must be provided at no cost to the client. Medicaid can be billed and if permission is given by client then third party insurance can be billed; but copays, co-insurance / deductibles are adjusted off. 8. Flat Fee Senrice: this is clinical service not on a sliding fee scale; vaccine is purchased by this agency or services provided by agency and is not mandated by the state. III. Billing clients for Care: a. See section IX. Flat Fee Services for non-discounted services. b. The Department of Public Health follows OMA guidelines when billing Family Planning and other clinical services. c. Patagonia Electronic Health Record (accounting system): Bills are to be given directly to the client at the time of their clinic visit and/or claim sent to another payment source, i.e. Medicaid, Medicare or private insurance. If payment is not made in full at time of visit then a payment schedule (dollar amount, daily, weekly, and monthly payment) will be discussed with client and put on file. d. Emancipated minors (by legal emancipation, or married) fees are to be based on household members and income. Fees for clients requesting confidentiality or no contact must be based on the client's income alone and a family size of one. e. Bills to clients are to show full charge less the appropriate sliding fee discount. 060319 HCBOC Page 77 Page 6 f. Bills to third party payer sources are to reflect the full charge and without any discount/no sliding fee discount. Unless there is a contracted reimbursement rate that must be billed per the third party agreement. g. When billing 340B services through Family Planning , a UD modifier will be used for Medicaid and HealthChoice clients. h. All denied claims will be reviewed for resubmission to Medicaid or third party insurance. ff a claim is denied payment due to improper billing code, the billing sheet is reviewed with the provider, corrected and then resubmitted for payment. 1. Patagonia's Aging Report is reviewed on a monthly basis and necessary corrections are made. J. When a bill is not paid in full during the clinic visit, it will be mailed to the client's address on the next scheduled statement processing cycle and monthly thereafter until paid in full or written off. Bills are not to be mailed to adolescents when it may undermine their confidentiality or when a client requests no contact or no mail. When confidentially or no mail is requested by client see if alternate billing address can be used . Also , see Debt Set-Off Policy for further collection options. k . Clients are to receive a receipt for any payment. (Printed from Patagonia EHR unless after closeout for daily deposit then hand written numbered receipt will be issued). I. Voluntary donations may be accepted and a receipt issued. Clients are not pressured to make voluntary donations. Voluntary donations are not a prerequisite for provision of any service or supply. Billing requirements set out are not waived because of client donations. If the donation is from a client with an account balance , it is considered a payment, not a donation . m. No mail is sent to confidential clients, or if requested by a client to receive no mail or no contact "no snail mail " is checked in Patagonia . IV.

Explain to client charges for that day's services and request payment during clinic visit; inform client of balance due and have client sign "Financial Agreement/Assignment of Benefits Authorization, if deemed necessary. b . Bills to patients show total charges , as well as any allowable charges . 060319 HCBOC Page 78 Page 7 c. If client is unable to pay full amount of bill for that day's service, prepare "Payment Agreement Form" for clients to sign. Scan agreements into Patagonia under "Billing Bin". d. Label will be kept on each client in a notebook and the encounter forms shall be matched back to the label sheet to ensure all encounter forms are accounted for. e. If encounter forms are not accounted for follow-up with supervisor of that clinic. (A duplicate encounter form may need to be created if original is not found). f. Mail statement of account to client sixty (60) days after visit and monthly thereafter until written off or collected through Debt Set-off. g. After 3 months; mail "payment agreement form" to client to select payment option(s), if client has not signed "payment agreement form" or if client has already made a selection send a copy of "payment agreement form" on file to the client along with statement of balance from accounting system. h. Patient statements contain a message reminding the patient if they have signed a payment agreement form to please make a payment as soon as possible. 1. Inform patient of balance due at time of service and a. Next telephone call, (if applicable or time allows) V. Aging Patient Accounts (Bad Debt Write-Offs) a. Aging of account is an accounting procedure to periodically provide an update and realistic value for accounts receivable. Accounts will be aged every 2 years or annually, if deemed by Health Director or Designee and written off as "uncollectible" only after two (2) years following the date of last service and no effort to pay has been made by patient. Unless, approval by Board of Health and/or Board of Commissioners to delay write-offs. b. Two years after the initial visit balance and payment has not been rendered, and client has been sent to Debt Set-off program and has not been in for service any balance remaining under $50 after two years will be written-off. Balance will be reinstated once client returns for service. Balances over $50 follow Debt-Set Off Policy, unless unable to collect from Debt-Set Off. c. As long as a balance remains, the client is to be informed of the current balance. 060319 HCBOC Page 79 Page 8 d. In the event a client should offer payment on an amount previously written-off, the charge will be reinstated and payment accepted. Reinstatement wiil reflect the amount written-off in the accounting system. If client returns to Health Department for services write-off will be reinstated and the client will be informed of the amount owed. e. The electronic client ledger card (accounting system) will indicate the write-off. f. The Harnett County Board of Health authorizes the Health Director to write-off debts deemed uncollectible under this policy; the Health Director will report to the Board of Health the total amount to be written off. The Health Director will then request approval of the write-off debts from the Board of Commissioners. After approval by the Board of Commissioners then the debts will be written off. g. Reasonable efforts to collect charges/bills without jeopardizing patient confidentiality are made.

Instructions for Determining Eligibility for Sliding Scale Fee Discount: Definition: l . Economic Unit : The Economic Unit will consist of people living in the home related to the client and those living in the home providing direct or indirect financial support for the client. 060319 HCBOC Page 81 Page 10 2. A family is defined as a group of related or non-related individuals who are living together as one economic unit. Individuals are considered members of a single family or economic unit when their production of income and consumption of goods are related. An economic unit mush have its own source of income. Also, groups of individuals living in the same house with other individuals may be considered a separate economic unit if each group support only their unit. A pregnant woman is counted as two (including the unborn child) in determining the family size . (Related to client by blood, marriage, or adoption, father of unborn child or client's boyfriend, and/or live in the same household as the client and contribute to the client's support; rent, utilities, grocies, clothes, etc.). Those who are financially responsible for the client or those who dependent on the client for financial assistance are included in economic unit. 1. A foster child assigned by Department of Social Services is a family of one with income considered to be paid to the foster parent for support of the child. 2. A student maintaining a separate residence and receiving most of her/his support from her/his parents or guardians may be counted as a dependent of the family. Self-supporting students maintaining a separate residence would be a separate economic unit. Family Planning considers this group extremely high-risk for unintended pregnancy. Any student in this category is considered as a family of one and is to be billed based on the income of the client. 3. An individual or family in an institution is considered a separate economic unit. 4. lf a patient requests "confidential services", regardless of age, the agency shall consider them a family unit of one based on their income. 5. Family Planning patient is marked as "confidential" in Patagonia EHR when Encounter is created; ESB is created and "no snail mail is checked". 6. If a Family Planning patient presents for a service and is considered to be a minor , interview questions may include the following: 1) Ask the patient if their parents are aware of their visit? 2) Ask if "both" parents are aware of their visit , since sometimes the mother may be present with the patient, however, the father may not be aware of the visit. 3) Ask if you can send a bill to the home, to both parents. 4) If the patient states both parents are aware and it is not a confidential visit, you should treat as such. 060319 HCBOC Page 82 Page 11 7. Income information reported for Family Planning financial eligibility screening can be used through other programs offered in the agency, rather than re-verifying income or solely on the client 's self-reporting. 3. Sources of Income: • Employer Wages • W-2 • SSI / Public Assistance payments • Retirement • Social Security • Alimony payments • Unemployment compensation • Regular contributions from sources outside the home • Financial payment/other sources of income that may exist include but not limited to cash, or that can be readily converted to cash, etc ...

Our volunteer advocates champion the chi ld's best inte rest in the courtroom and community." • ------------•••------------- GUARDIAN AD LITEM (GAL) PROGRAM Our Mission The North Carolina Guardian ad Litem (GAL) program equips community volunteers to serve abused and neglected children by advocating for their best interests in court. In 1983, the North Carolina Genera l Assemb ly established the Office of Guardian ad Litem Services as a division of the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts. Pursuant to G.S. 78-601, when a petition alleging abuse or neglect of a juvenile is filed in district court, the judge appoints a volunteer GAL advocate and an attorney advocate to provide team representation to the child, who has full party status in trial and appellate proceedi ngs. All GAL advocates are trained, supervised, and supported by program staff in each county of the state. The collaborative model of GAL attorney advocates, volunteers, and staff ensures that all North Carolina children who are all eged by the Department of Social Se rvices to have been abused or neglected receive GAL legal advocacy services. The role of Guardian ad Litem advocates is to: Fulfill state and federa l sta tutory mandates t o protect and promote the bes t interests of juveniles in abuse and neglect court proceedings Help the courts work efficientl y toward safety and permanence for ch ildren Con d uct independent investigations to determine the facts, needs of the chi ld, and the resources appropriate to meet those needs Determine the wi shes or expressed prefere nces of the chi ld and report those to the court Provide a voice for abused and neglected child r en in every cou nty of the st ate Why Use Volunteers? When speaking about child victim advocacy in court, the question sometimes arises, "Why use volunteers?" Answering that question for North Carolina entails an evolving history spanning nearly a decade, but the short answer is that volu nteers are effective. The model of co-appointing volunteers and attorneys to speak for abused and neglected children in court provides strong, competent advocacy for the children who need it. • ,,,,,,,. < ·""""" Providing trained, i ndepend ent advoca t es t o r eprese nt and promo t e t he bes t GUARD IA N AD LITEM . . . •cH1Lo·s•ovoCArE 1Ncou•r interes t s of abu se d, neglect ed, and dependent ch ildren in the st at e court syst em "The GAL is that independent voice advocating for the child's needs, without regard to budget or funding stream. Children know their voices are heard and the judge is considering their desires and wishes, as well as their best interests. As children in our caseloads age, the GAL and Attorney Advocate guide them through appearances in court and help them understand how court works, and why decisions are made. We do a better job in this critical effort because of the work of the GAL" -Judge J. H. Corpening OUR TEAM APPROACH Components Brief Description and Situation Staff "For 35 years, GAL staff have equipped citizen volunteers to advocate in court for the state's abused and neglected children. The powerful ripple effect of each staff member's knowledge, experience, and support is evident as thousands of GALs ensure timely permanent outcomes for tens of thousands of children:' -Cindy Bizzell, GAL Administrator Attorneys "GA L attorney advocates assure t hat abused and neglected children's legal rights and best interests are protected in juvenile court proceedings. These skilled attorneys co llaborate with trained GA L volunteers and staff to ensure that the court has the needed facts and information to make decisions about children's best interests and w ell- being." -Reginald O'Rourke, GAL Associate Counsel Volunteer advocates "Every child that's born has a purpose and has a right to be happy in childhood. Every child has the right to have a chance to be successful in life. That's what it means to be a GAL, for me to be ab le to speak up and fight for that right for chi ldren ." -John C., GAL Volunteer "I became a GAL to let a child in foster care know that someone is looking out for them when those who should be can't. I have le arned to be open-minded and forgiving to the parents who have put them in a stranger's care. I learned that kids can be resilient in the most unfortunate situations." -Charlene W., GAL Volunteer GAL staff recruit, train, and supervise volunteers. These roles, along with thorough screening and criminal record checks, help ensure the safety and best interests of child clients. Staff duties include assuring quality representation for children, promoting positive community relations to foster commitment to the program, while educating the public, maintaining a record keeping case management system, and developing and providing appropriate in-service training opportunities. Staff must have knowledge of volunteer administration, child development, juvenile court, applicable laws and statutes, program development, and evaluation techniques. They often serve on local interdisciplinary task forces and committees that affect the availability of services for GAL child clients. GAL attorneys represent children's best interests in nearly 70,000 court hearings, including non-secure custody hearings, adjudicatory proceedings, dispositional proceedings, review hearings, permanency planning hearings, proceedings to terminate parental rights, and post termination of parental rights hearings. In addition, they often participate in team meetings and any court ordered pre-trial co nferenc es. Although juvenile appeals are expedited, the number of appeals is ri sing. Attorneys from law firms across the state contribute pro bono time and expertise to handle more t han 65 percent of all GAL appeals. Volunteer advocates are screened, interviewed, and receive 30 hours of initial training. At lea st six hours of in-service training are offered each year to maintain the knowledge and ski lls needed to advocate for best interests of child clients. The sta te's GALs are adults who come from diverse communities, cultures, and life and work experiences. On average, advocates donate eight hours each month to perform their statutorily mandated duties. They visit child clients, conduct interviews, read reports, monitor court orders, collaborate with service providers, formulate fact-based, child-focused court reports with recommendations, and testify in court hearings. While GAL attorney advocates are appointed to every case, the program does not yet have a volunteer advocate for every child. In those instances where no volunteer advocate is available, GAL staff are required to perform the volunteer advocate's duties, limiting their ability to focus on their primary duties of recruitment, training, and supervision. Currently, 2,400 children need the services of a volunteer advocate.

More specifically I will talk about the shortage of funded positions and highlight some of the approved changes coming that will greatly impact the Park and assigned staff. The data provided will also highlight the increase in vistorship expected and the projected demand that will place on the park, support staff, and the surrounding community. My name is Robert Hewett and as the current elected Chairperson of the Friends of Raven Rock I am tasked with reaching out and obtaining grass roots support for our local Park. Who are we? The Friends of Raven Rock or "FRARO", is a local Chapter of the "North Carolina Friends of State Parks" a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was incorporated on April 151h, 1982 by a group of dedicated North Carolina Citizens. Their stated goal is to support all of North Carolinas State Parks, State Natural Areas and Rivers, and State Scenic Trails to ensure they remain a viable resource for future generations. All of us that volunteer for FRARO share this goal and have dedicated our personal time to support Raven Rock State Park. We do this by working as unpaid volunteers in cooperation with the leadership of North Carolina State Parks, their local staff at the park, and elected leadership at the State and Local level. As FRARO, our current high priority goal is to bring attention to the deficit in funded personnel authorizations at Raven Rock State Park . History-I have no doubt the combined knowledge in this room of Raven Rock, and its history, far exceeds my own. So please bear with me while I recall some important details for this presentation. Raven Rock State Park will be 50 this year and it is still growing in size and capabilities. For example; in 1972, the earliest we have records for, it was estimated that the park had some 27,000 visitors. Last year Raven Rock was estimated to have had 238,000 visitors to the park. This is an increase of 50% from 2010, and a 110% increase since the year 2000. Unfortunately, the staffing authorizations at Raven Rock State Park have not changed since at least 1974 which leaves a large gap in support for park visitors and a comparably large increase in work load for the Park staff. Current estimates for visitation of Parks across the State show this increase is the norm and not the exception. Current Status -Currently Raven Rock has a total of six funded positions with no additional unfunded permanent authorizations on the books. There are three positions for Park Rangers; Superintendent 11, Ranger 11 , and Ranger I. Additionally, there are three support and maintenance positions; Office Assistant IV, Maintenance Construction Tech II, and Maintenance Construction Tech I. The only additional positions authorized are seasonal employees and due to several factors, they have largely gone unfilled. Raven Rock is a seven-day operation with hours that fluctuate based on the time of year. For the Summer season the Park is open from 7:00am to 10:00pm for a total of 15 hours a day or 105 hours a week . With only three Rangers on staff working 40 hours a week this means there is only 15 hours of overlap available to allow a Ranger to be away from the park while on duty. During the Winter months this overlap is slightly larger with a total of 36 hours a week . This does not take into account June 3rd, 2019 requirements for required off site training, continuing education hours to maintain certifications, assistance to other parks, or personal leave . Acreage -RARO cur r ently h as 4,800 acres of land of which 921 acres are currently unused . This land is split by the Cape Fear River with no direct access from the South side (Main Park) to the North side (Bridle Trails). To gain access to the Northern portion of the park you must drive though Lillington which has the closest public bridge. On an average day this trip takes approximately 28 minutes one way, and for a Ranger to visit will take about two hours including travel time. This of course does not include addressing public inquires or dealing with potential concerns from visitors not following the rules of the park. Currently, no staff are assigned to the North side/Bridle Trails which leaves a large portion of the Park without immediate support when it is needed . Vis its to the North Side are done on an as needed or random basis only. Future Projects-NC State Park's has approved and is currently build ing a new campground area near the bike trails . This site will have si x cabins, nine full-service RV sites, fifteen tent and trailer sites, and a shower house. This new facility will also have a waste water treatment requirement and will require a specific certification to ensure proper handling and maintenance of the system . This new addition will bring a set of unique challenges not currently a part of the daily routine and will require additional staff to ensure full support. Additional projects are in the works to include an expansion of the current beginner's bike trail with two additional trails of greater difficulty. Current Needs -To fill the widening gap in personnel that are available for visitor and park support. To bring awareness of the additional unique vistorship and needed support to ensure all planned Park enhancements are fully realized . To allow Park staff to continue teaching and interacting with the publi c on a routine ba sis, and to maintain a safe environment for the hundreds of thousands of visitors to the park now and in the future. Request for Support -Raven Rock State Park needs your support, and the support of Harnett County! I am asking that this Board add their voice to all of ours and help bring this to the attention of the North Carolina General Assembly who can authorize additional funding for Park staff. The folder I have provided contains a larger cross section that supports the information I am presenting to you now. Please look through the brief and con sider what Raven Rock means to the future of Harnett County. Additionally, I am also requesting that the Board cons ider creating an ad-hoc committee to study this topic and then present their findings for review. This committee should include, among others, representatives from local community leaders to en sure all interested parties have a voice. Closing Statement -In closing I would like to say that we are lucky to have Raven Rock and the many supporting voices who advocate for it. We are also lucky to have such dedicated park staff who make it their mission to ensure all vi sitors have a positive experience and fond memories of the park. We all would like to keep this trend and I look forward to your thoughts and support! Thank you for your time and attention. I am prepared to answer any immediate questions you may have . 6 /2/2019 Subject: FSP Weekly Legislative Update From: Sent: To: CC: "David Pearson" <David@swansboro.biz > 5/31/2019 6:52:55 PM "fspboard@ncfsp.org " <fspboard@ncfsp.org >; "localgroups@ncfsp.org " <localgroups@ncfsp.org >; "Patterson, Dwayne" <dwayne.patterson@ncparks.gov >; ''Tingley, Carol" <carol.tingley@ncparks.gov >; "adrian.oneal@ncparks.gov " <adrian.oneal@ncparks.gov >; Hello Friends, The focus at the General Assembly this week was on the Senate, which passed the budget bill this morning by a vote (30 to 16) largely along party lines. North Carolina adopts a two-year budget in the odd-numbered years and adjusts the second year spending in an even-numbered year session . Both chambers will now seek to resolve differences between their versions in a conference committee. Budget provisions related to parks (H966 ): The Parks and Recreation Trust Fund's recurring funding was increased by $1.55 million to "adjusts the budget for PARTF grants to allow for the expenditure of all the anticipated receipts". This brings the recurring total up to $17.67 million. In addition, the Senate's version of the budget transfers $10 million from the cash balance in the Film and Entertainment Grant in FY19-20 bringing the FY19-20 total to $27.67 million. The bill also makes a $4 million non-recurring increase to the trust fund in FY20-21, bringing next year's total to $21.67 million. Please note, the following earmarks came out of PARTF in FY19-20 (Note that these earmarks add up to $7.S million, and PARTF received an additional $10 million nonrecurring in FY19-20): • $1.5 million for Freedom Park in Raleigh . • $1 million for "stabilization or renovation of structures located on the Vade Mecum tract at Hanging Rock State Park". • $1 million "to provide a grant to the Town of Madison for development of the Lindsey Bridge river landing and park". • $2 million "for the development of Pisgah View Park in Buncombe and Haywood Counties". • $2 million "for the development of the Wilderness Gateway Trail in McDowell, Rutherford, Burke, and Catawba Counties". For those interested in the Clean Water Management Trust Fund, the non-recurring funding for FY19-20 was reduced by $4 million, but replaced with a $4 million transfer from the cash balance in the Film and Entertainment Grant, which brings the total appropriation for FY19-20 to $14.3 million. There is an additional $4 million nonrecurring in FY20 -21, so the total appropriation for FY20-21 is $18.3 million. In addition to the trust funds, there is a $4 million direct appropriation in FY19-20 "to the Audubon Society for the purchase of Lea Island". The budget also includes 18 full time employees for FY19 -20, and 19 full time employees for FY20-21 to operate the Connect NC Bond projects . H532 -An Act to Authorize the Overmountain Victory State Trail; to Authorize the Wilderness Gateway 1/2 6 /2 /2019 State Trail; and to Make Various Changes to the State Parks Act and the North Carolina Trails System Act, has been ratified by the Governor and is now law. 538 1. which would reconstitute certain boards and commissions. passed the House Judiciary committee this week as a Proposed Committee Substitute that added the other 4 boards impacted by the litigation.

Big Town, NC 12345 Date Dear Honorable (title+ name}, only use honorable for an elected representative. Introduce your self: for example, my name is Fred Fredrickson, I am a long time resident of XXXX county and an avid visitor and supporter of North Carolina's parks. I have blah blah blah ..... I am writing first to thank you for your service in our great state's (house or senate or department}, I sincerely appreciate your work. As North Carolina is a large and diverse state with many activities and services, I also want to take this opportunity to make you aware of the situation at Raven Rock State Park . As you are likely aware Raven Rock State park was opened in the 1970 and is located conveniently between Raleigh and Fayetteville near the idyllic town of Lillington. The county that Raven Rock is located in is Harnett County. The 1970 census showed Harnett County having under 50,000 residents. The most recent census date estimates that Harnett County now is home for more than 140,000. Harnett county is also predicted to be one of the fastest growing counties in North Carolina in the next decade . At the same time, large numbers of visitors to Raven Rock travel the short distance from places like Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and Fayetteville. I am sure you are aware of the rapid expansion and growth of those cities. The population growth combined with in crease interest in hiking, canoeing, and camping has combined to balloon the average monthly attendance of visitors to Raven Rock to over 30,000 per month! While this sounds like an exciting triumph for the North Carolina Park service, which it is, it is also leading to a precipice of a crisis . While the demographics, activities, and population changes have increased the Raven Rock attendance, the park itself has not added a single permanent staff position since 1970! So, in sum, Raven Rock is operating at 1970's staffing levels in 2019 ! On weekends with favorable weather, park visitation may swell to the point that all rangers and temporary staff are engaged in directing traffic to parking lots, which , incidentally, are also inadequate to the park's needs. This state of affairs creates serious risk s for the park. Moreover, at the direction of the Parks Department, Raven Rock State Park is currently adding a campground with RV sites and cabins , and although this campground will serve the recreational demand of large numbers of people and will create a great deal of revenue for the state park system, maintenance and policing of it will also add significantly to the rangers' work load. Rangers are responsible for policing the park and facilitating any rescues of injured visitors, and whenever an injury or a crime occurs, rangers must attend to it immediately. Traffic snarls caused by rangers being called away from directing traffic toward urgent situations could paralyze the park, possibly leading to further injuries to visitors, but difficulties and delays in addressing immediate problems could also expose the state park system to possible lawsuits . Under the current circumstances , park staff are compelled to conduct all maintenance work, ranging from trail repairs to cleaning of restrooms, during weekdays. Even routine but necessary tasks such as restocking toilet paper in toilet stalls is difficult to perform on weekends. The growth in the park's popularity and the growth in the population in the area that the park serves can only lead to further stra ins on the park staff. In addition, the scarcity of candidates for temporary positions, largely because these positions pay only $8 and $9 per hour with no benefits, dictate that an increase in the number of permanent positions is crucial for the park. For these reasons, it is imperative that Raven Rock State Park be given special funding consideration that will allow it to add these positions. At present, the park requires four additional full-ti me rangers, another mechanic, and another office assistant in order to meet its needs adequately . Because the byzantine nature of hiring within the state park system creates long delays in the addition of staff to any park, procurement of funding for the positions during the current funding cycle is especially desirable. I hope that you will consider this issue as budget deliberations in the state legislature continue. Regards , Name Address Address Phone number and email. Since 2008, total acreage of state park lands has increased by 17% and visitation has increased by 44% while number of staff has increased by only 2%. In 2008, N.C. State Parks had one ranger to serve each 28,600 visitors. In 2019, there is one ranger to serve every 40,300 visitors. Impacts of increased visitation include: • Increased life safety issues, including number of incidents of injury and death • Increased demands on park and local law enforcement • Parking challenges that absorb staff time and impact natural resources There has been a decline in public services provided by parks due to inadequate staffing and operations funding. These services include educational programs such as school field trip programs. School age educational programs have declined 13% in four years despite our burgeoning visitation. Wear and tear on facilities and infrastructure has occurred as parks have served more visitors without adequate maintenance staffing to meet repair needs. Inadequate maintenance leads to increased costs, tourist dissatisfaction and health and safety risks. A 10-15% increase in park staff would allow for more interaction with visitors, resulting in: • Improved park services that support state tourism and economy, attracting new businesses and improving rural economic prosperity • Increased educational programing • A higher quality experience for visitors • More visitor education, understanding, and stewardship of natural and historic resources • Better preventive facility maintenance to save money • Better compliance with park rules Our vision is for EVERY Elementary School child in North Carolina to have a memorable, life-long, park-based learning experience. Outdoor science field trips to parks are a proven way to improve science test scores. Experiential outdoor learning opportunities can also improve social studies scores, improve student behavior, increase student self-confidence, and encourage healthy lifestyles. Despite the value of field trips to state parks, school-age program participation in North Carolina State Parks declined in each of the past five years. Challenges include inadequate transportation funding and teacher staff development opportunities. Many in the education field have not been exposed to the valuable tools that environmental education offers in the learning process. "Outdoor Experiential Science Education" will meet these challenges by funding transportation, helping teachers maximize curriculum correlations during field trips, and supporting school administrators who recognize that a field trip to a state park will help students succeed academically. STRATECiY #1 Professional Development and Collaboration with Teachers. "Outdoor Experiential Science Education" will train teachers to serve alongside park rangers as field trip instructors, and will contract with educational institutions to offer best-practice professional development for teachers through summer teacher institutes. STRATEOY #2 Adequately Staff Parks To Include Interpretation and Education Specialists. Park staffing levels have not kept up With the increase in visitation, new land, and new facilities. Adding Interpretation and Education Specialist positions increase the capacity to accommodate students during field trips. Interpretation and Education Specialists will assist their fellow park rangers in best teaching practices and recruit competent volunteers to support educational field trips. North Carolina's parks are ideal places for teachers and students to explore science, history and social studies. "Outdoor Experiential Science Education"is an all-inclusive program, regardless of financial, physical or other challenges, which creates positive outdoor experiences for elementary-age youth in North Carolina. Raven Rock (RARO) Historical Data and Projected Staffing Shortfalls (White Paper) 1.

In 2018, the la rge st number of visi tation year so far, the park was closed for a month and majority of trails were closed for several months, due to Hurricane Florence . These visitation counts are taken from traffic counters at the Avent's Creek Access Area, Moccasin Branch Bike Field, and the m ain park entrance. To calculate these figures, NC State does studies every couple of ye ar s to figure out an average of people per vehicle . 2. Staff: a) Park Superintendent b) Park Ranger II c) Park Ranger I d) Office Assistant IV e) Maintenance Construction Tech II (formally Maintenance Mechanic Ill) f) Maintenance Construction Tech I (formally Maintenance Mechanic II) Notes : During the 1970's there was only a Park Superintendent and two Park Rangers . Office work was limited and done by the Superintendent, Rangers, and Seasonal employees. Maintenance was done by Seasonal General Utility Workers, and also was done by District Maintenance Mechanics, and traveling maintenance crews. Around the 1980's, the General Utility Worker positions were turned into permanent Maintenance positions, and that is when RARO officially added had a Maintenance position posted to the park . In 1996, the operation reserve budget allowed RARO to obtain another full time Maintenance position and an Office Assistant position . Operation Reserve Budgets are allocated for Capital Improvement Projects . It is a budget that allows for more equipment and staff for large improvements to the park. Operation Reserve Budgets were an important tool for parks to use to gain equipment and staff with the facility growths that were happening ; especially for facilities that would gain some sort of way of earning money from visitors or would add drastically to visitation . Reserve Operation Budgets have se emed to have stopped in the past few years. RARO 's 2010 Budget was the last one that staff can think of, but we're not 100% certain. Important Note : The park r eceived a reserve operations budget when the visitor center and parking lots were built, in 2010. Additional pieces of equipment were purchased (lawn mower, UTV, etc.), but the huge failure wa s actually losing out on three po sitions. The three positions were supposed to be added to the park with the building of the picnic shelter, parking lots, and visitor center. Those three position s were as follows: Park Ranger 11, Maintenance IV, and Office Assistant. These position s were supposed to be additions to the then, cu r rent park staff. I believe the Ma i ntenance IV was moved to another park (I th ink Carvers Creek). The Office Assistant was a higher pos ition than was at the park, so RARO's then current Office Assistant applied and received that promotion. Her old position was moved to another park (I think Carvers Creek), which left RARO with still only one Office Assistant. The Park Ranger II position was added to RARO and w as given to David Brown . His old Ranger position wa s taken away. All this said, no personnel were added to the park at all, even though these capital improvement projects were mad e. The capital improvement projects did what they were intending; they added some revenue sources from rentals and gift shop sale s, greatly add ed to visitors' experience, and increa sed vi sitation. I do not believe there is any intention of having a reserve operations budget for the campground build . 3.

Major Park Projects: 30 site drive into campground with a bathhouse. Thi s is from the 2016 Bond Referendum that was passed by the voters of North Carolina . The campground will have 6 cabins, 9 RV sites, and 15 tent sites. This project will be an operational stress on the park . Already being short staffed from years of improvements, growth, and increased visitation, this will bring a different type of recreation and visitor to the park . The types of calls of service will increase. The operational stand point of this campground is the highest concern to RARO . The addition of the campground is great for the area and the park, but it will come with much more maintenance needs, janitorial needs, safety concerns, and law enforcement encounters. Estimated Completion Date: October 2019 7. Historical data: I think I have covered visitation information fairly well. However, I would like to address the additional hours that were imposed on the parks around 2010 and 2013. These changes either added hours to the end of the day by extending closing times or added hours to the beginning of the day by opening earlier. There is now a 20% increase of operating hours with the same number of staffing. Due to increased operating hours, staff is forced to work more which affects productivity. Furthermore, the extended hours have cut down on our ability to have staff working more shifts together to accomplish goals and tasks . All this has been done with no additional personnel to the park. Also talking about attendance, I have to touch on the growth of Harnett County and surrounding areas. It is not uncommon to park cars three weekends out of the month, given that one weekend has bad weather. This holds staff to certain areas that they cannot leave from and doesn't allow them to be mobile for emergency situations or do real ranger work like interpretive educational programs . We are unable to properly patrol or meet the needs of our other visitors at other access areas or recreation spots. If more parking was added to the park, it still would not resolve the issue of overcrowding and the park's capacity. People will still come to the park in droves. But this is a planning and operations responsibility of the NC State Park System, and I'm working on this matter heavily too . 8. Staffing needs: Not to put a dramatic number on or make an unrealistic request, I believe the following need to be additions to the park for current needs and very near future growth. • Two Rangers to meet the needs of the new campground, other access areas, interpretive and educational programs, to improve the visitors' experience, law enforcement, and additional safety calls . (1 ranger for past needs and 1 ranger for current/future needs} • Maintenance Construction Tech Ill will be required because of the new certifications and trainings that will come with the campground construction (i.e . wastewater). The campground will also come with tons of janitorial needs and maintenance needs . (The park was already supposed to have another maintenance staff for past needs) • One Office Assistance to fully cover the visitor center through all weekends and add to the visitors' experience . Many times, the Office Assistant is the only person any one can talk to because all other staff are parking vehicles. It is not an easy job, but we will require more office work and management of campers once the campground opens since we will have multiple camping areas and different types camping (hike into and drive into). (The park was already supposed have another OA for past needs) If you are counting. this is only one additional staff member that I am requesting. because we were already supposed to get the other positions in 2010. Side Note -I still can 't figure what we are going to do when a 5th wheel camper pulls into the park on a busy weekend when all the parking spots are full. We will not be able to get them turned around .

State park services continue to be in high demand. North Carolina's state park visitation growth is exceeding population growth, and new parks are constantly requested. Since 2008 , state park acreage has increased 17%, visitation has increased 44%, but staff has increased only 2%. Additional staffing and funding of operations is needed to maintain adequate levels of operation and service. Effect of Increased Visitation Increased park visitation results in increased life safety issues, increased public safety incidents, increased law enforcement issues and greater traffic and parking problems. The graph below reflects a 30% increase in public safety incidents in just the past four years. Public Safety Incidents in State Park s System 100 100 300 •oo • Enwrsencv Medic.II Respon~. MIJor Emer,ency Medbl Responi& • Moderate If £merpncy Medkal Response · Minor Searth end Rsue/ Lost Person 500 In some parks, parking and traffic control is overwhelming , and seriously detracts from staff ability to perform other essential duties. More staff time is devoted to these urgent needs, and less staff time is available for interaction with visitors. A decrease in basic staff interaction with visitors has been noticed by both staff and visitors. Staff interaction, even at a casual level, leads to better compliance with park rules, a better understanding of natural and historic resources, and an overall higher quality of experience for park visitors. There has also been a noticeable decline in beneficial public services provided by the parks, such as . educational programs for school field trips. These services supplement local school budgets, support state goals in STEM education, and increase citizen understanding of North Carolina's geography, ecology, and history. To understand the negative impact of increased duties placed upon park staff, it is important to examine how the core mission of educational programs for school age children has been affected. School age educational program participants has decreased 13 percent in just the last four years.

Over the last ten years the growth in attendance at parks has outpaced the State's population growth 44% compared to 14% respectively. Raven Rock State Park General Management Plan North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources Division of Parks and Recreation Piedmont Region JULY 2017 I. MISSION AND PURPOSE MISSION ST A TEMENT: Conservation: To protect North Carolina's natural diversity through careful selection and stewardship of state parks system lands; Recreation: To provide and promote outdoor recreation opportunities in the state parks system and throughout the state; and Education: To encourage appreciation of North Carolina's natural and cultural heritage through diverse educational opportunities ; for all citizens of and visitors to the State of North Carolina. PURPOSE: The State of North Carolina offers unique archaeologic, geologic, biologic, scenic and recreational resources. These resources are part of the heritage of the people of this State. The heritage of a people should be preserved and managed by those people for their use and for the use of their visitors and descendants. PARK PURPOSE: Raven Rock, a bluff that juts out at a sharp angle along the Cape Fear River, has been a landmark to river travelers since before the Civil War. As land transportation improved, it became a popular regional destination for picnickers visiting the scenic river vistas and unusual bluffs. Local support for establishing a state park culminated in 1969 when the General Assembly authorized funding for Raven Rock State Park and thus preserved the site 's natural and scenic quality from a potential mining operation. Bluffs The significant geological resources of the park occur primarily along the Cape Fear River, the dominant surface water feature. Raven Rock, the bluff for which the park is named, is exceptionally tall for the Piedmont, with an elevation of over I 00 feet above the river. It is the highest bluff in the North Carolina fall zone -the area where the more resistant rocks of the Piedmont meet the sediments and softer rocks of the Coastal Plain. The rocks forming the bluffs are 570 million years old and were metamorphosed on at least two separate occasions between 450 and 300 million years ago. The river, through millions of years of erosion, has sculpted the numerous metamorphic rock faces seen in the park today. Rapids , a typical river feature in the fall zone, occur at Fish Traps and Lanier Falls. The significant biological resources include three registered natural areas: Raven Rock State Park Natural Area, Avents Creek-Cape Fear River Floodplain Natural Area, and Granitic Flatrock Natural Area. Successional communities derived from the combination of unique habitats and the interface of the Piedmont and Coastal Plain at the fall zone include maturing communities representative of the eastern Piedmont as well as a number of unusual natural communities. Unusual habitats include the bluffs, flat rocks and north-facing mesic areas with disjunct montane 2 species. Pines and oak-hickory forest dominate the ridge tops, while mature beech and mixed hardwoods cover the slopes and floodplain. Remnant Piedmont longleaf pine trees and their associates are evidence of past forest types. Buttercup phacelia (Phacelia covillei), Virginia spiderwort (Tradescantia virginiana) and eastern Isopyrum (Enemion biternatum) are representative of the many unusual plant species known in the park. One hundred eighty eight (188) bird species, including the bald eagle, have been observed in the park. Fox squirrels (Sciurus niger), a declining species in North Carolina, are found in upland areas of the park. The park is within the historical range of the fox squirrel, but diminishing habitat has reduced the prime range in North Carolina to the public lands in the Sandhills. Significant scenic resources are found at the Raven Rock bluffs and along the waterways. Unusual rock formations of Raven Rock and wide river vistas have made it a landmark on the Cape Fear River for over a century. The Campbell Creek and Avents Creek areas are particularly scenic because the steep slopes that surround them are more reminiscent of mountain terrains than the Piedmont. The extensive acreage at Raven Rock State Park is suitable for day-use activities such as hiking and picnicking as well as camping and horseback riding. The Cape Fear River is an exceptional resource for water-based activities such as paddling and fishing. The visitor program focuses on interpretation and education programs. Conveniently located near the Research Triangle, Fayetteville, Fort Bragg and smaller surrounding communities, the park can be easily accessed by a large population seeking natural resource oriented and passive recreational opportunities. The Cape Fear River is the focus of significant archaeological resources. Prehistoric resources include Pre-Columbian artifacts such as projectile points, evidence that the river was once the site of Native American activities. Before the development of effective land transportation routes, the Cape Fear River played a major role in the growth and development ofNorth Carolina. The 1850's era Northington lock and dam site, which accommodated boat traffic through the fall zone rapids, and the Northington Ferry site, which served as the main transportation link between Raleigh and Fayetteville until the Lillington Bridge was built in the 1920s. Raven Rock serves as a state park for the protection of its valuable geological, biological, scenic, recreational and archaeological values. The Division of Parks and Recreation is charged with preserving these values and providing park experiences that promote pride in and understanding of natural heritage of North Carolina. 3 II. HISTORY Raven Rock State Park sits along the fall zone, an area where the hard , resistant rocks of the foothills give way to the softer rocks and sediments of the coastal plain. The underlying rocks of the area was formed more than 400 million years ago by intense heat and pressure. T hrough the ages, flowing waters and swirling winds gradually eroded the land , carving and sculpting Raven Rock . This immense crystalline structure rises to 150 feet and stretches for more than a mile along the Cape Fear River. The rock was originally called Patterson's Rock named after an early settler who found refuge there when hi s canoe capsized nearby. In 1854, the name was changed to "Raven Rock", inspired by the sight ofravens that formerly roosted on rock ledges . The Siouan and Tuscarora Ind ians hunted the area until European settlers arrived in the mid-1700s. The first settlers were primarily hunters and trappers who were searching for high country similar to their native country, Scotland. Later, stores, mills and quarries were built. Many of the woodlands were farmed, and as the forests returned , much of the land was harvested for timber. A road that stretched from Raleigh to Fayetteville crossed the Cape Fear River via the Northington Ferry and served as the major transportation route in the area. Locks and dams were built along the river to facilitate navi gation by boat, and Raven Rock became an important landmark for river pilots. After a hurricane destroyed the locks and dams in I 859, the structures were not replaced; railroad transportation e liminated the need for river travel. As roads were built, the ferry was closed and Raven Rock became a popular recreation spot. The remnants of the Northington lock and dam can still be seen in the park. In I 965, interest grew in preserving the area as a state park, and local citizens organized support for the project. In 1969, a bill establishing the park was passed in the General A s sembly. More than 220 acres of land were purchased and another 170 acres were donated by Burlington Industries . Overlook 4 III. THEMES AND INVENTORY Themes The significant archeological, geologic, scenic, recreational and biological resources of North Carolina should be represented in the State Park system. These resources, as cited in the State Parks Act, are divided into subcategories called resource "themes". There have been 108 themes identified that should be protected to preserve representative examples of unique resources. For this GMP onl y themes that are of high significance to this Park (or SRA) are shown.

What do you remember after you visit a state park? Most people say they recall the peace of nature, seeing a cool plant or animal, or interacting with a park ranger. We ALL know park rangers immediately, with their big hats and all the cool things they know about the park. You often hear kids say they want to be a park ranger when they grow up, and I can definitely see why. But. we're all missing something. We 're missing a group of people -nearly as many serving our state parks as we have rangers-who do a tremendous amount every day to care for our state parks behind the scenes-and right in front of your nose. I 'm talking about our maintenance staff! Our maintenance staffs work is SO much more nuanced what their name implies, and it's time we acknowledge their valuable role in our parks. Recently, I asked our maintenance staff to start sending me photos and info about their daily work. After some groans (they are quite busy enough, thank you very much), I started receiving messages from several staff members across the state.

First the dynamite, and then the cleanup: When many people think of North Carolina's "Naturally Wonderful" state parks, they think of massive forests , expansive lakes, primitive camping , or pristine beach walking. Our natural resources are certainly part of what makes our parks special. But it's also the things that differentiate state parks from unmanaged wi lderness-bathrooms, trash cans , shower houses, docks, piers , trails , campsites , swim areas-that bring you to your state parks for a safe, comfortable adventure with modern conveniences and easy access to beautiful places. The fact is , all of these things are maintained , improved, repaired, restored and often constructed by our parks ' maintenance staff. From fixing mowers and sinks to landscaping , trail construction and maintenance, and waste management, our maintenance staff members are truly jack and jills-of-all-trades. Visitors to the parks often mistake them for park rangers because of their similar uniforms, but many leave without ever knowing how important these crews really are to the parks. We want to do a better job conveying the hard work that our maintenance staff do so that we all can give them more credit for their extensive skills, pride in their work, and the critical role the have in our parks. Please keep an eye on our blog and social media accounts for more updates about the work of our maintenance staff.
