Tom Davey Acting Coordinator For
Proposed Regional RC&D Program
Federal Funding Brings Community Improvements
Although the U.S. Congress passed PL-97-98 creating
the Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Pro-
gram in 1962, some areas are not yet involved. Thirty-one
Panhandle and South Plains counties Fit into that category.
Tom Davey of Tulia, district conservationist for the Tule
Creek Soil and Water Conservation District, has been ap-
pointed acting Resource Conservation and Development
coordinator for the proposed 17 Panhandle counties which are
not presently in a RC&D area.
This area is subject to change, Davey said. Floyd and
Hale counties may go to a southern district and other counties
"could go to the north."
Davey will prepare the application to be sent to Washing-
ton for funding for all counties that would like to be a member
of the RC&D district.
An organizational meeting is planned in Amarillo at 1
p.m. on March 26 in the Texas Tech Health Science Center,
1400 Wallace Blvd. During this meeting, an ad hoc committee
will be formed and by-laws will be established for the RC&D
area.
Each participating county can have one representative,
although other interested persons are welcome to attend.
Davey has presented information to the Soil Conserva-
tion Service board in this county, the Commissioners Court,
Greater Swisher County Industrial Foundation and Chamber
of Commerce boards. Resolutions supporting and endorsing
an RC&D area as a planning region.
Each of the county's three municipal governing bodies
also will be approached.
Prior to the March 26 session in Amarillo, Davey expects
to hold a local meeting "once all interested organizations are
identified." This will be to "determine priorities."
He requests individuals seeking further information to
call him at 995-3035.
When the national program was adopted in 1962, the
USDA Soil Conservation Service was charged with the re-
sponsibility of administering it. It was designed to provide
resource development and environmental protection in multi-
county areas.
"When Congress created the RC&D they authorized the
creation of 225 RC&Ds," according to officials. "Last year
Congress recognized the excellent achievements of the exist-
ing RC&Ds and authorized the creation of 225 additional
RC&Ds."
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Although administered by the federal government
through the Soil Conservation Service, goals/objcctives for
each RC&D area are identified by local people. Most exisitng
RC&Ds have some or all of the following goals and objec-
tives:
♦Developland and water resources for agricultural,
municipal or industrial use and recreation and wildlife.
♦Provide better uses of soil and water resources for
farming, ranching, recreation, housing, industry, transporta-
tion and other land uses. ,
♦Install conservation measures for critical-area treat-
ment and flood prevention.
♦Reduce air and water pollution.
♦Make needed landaus adjustments in land such as
conversion of steep cropland to more desirable uses such as
pasture, woodland or wildlife land.
♦Improve and expand recreation facilities, promote and
protect historic and scenic attractions.
♦Increase local employment by promoting existing in-
dustries to expand and promoting new ones to locate in the
area.
♦Improve local and extended marketing of crops, live-
stock and forest products.
♦Improve and bring to the area needed community facili-
ties such as schools, hospitals, waste treatment facilities, roads
and other facilities.
♦Encourage training programs to improve local job
skills.
♦Promote improved rural standard of living through
economic and rural development
During Davey's presentation Thursday to the industrial
foundation board, Tule Lake improvements were mentioned
as one area need.
