State stream management grant proposals

The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Water Resources is now accepting proposals statewide for projects that address stream restoration, water-based restoration and water management until June 30.

DWR is seeking proposals for projects through the current spring 2026 application cycle of the Water Resources Development Grant Program.  

Through this program, DWR provides two types of grants: the State & Local program provides cost-sharing grants of up to 50% of non-federal project costs for stream restoration, water-based restoration and water management projects.  

In addition, grants are offered for stream restoration projects on agricultural lands that are cost-shared with the Natural Resources Conservation Service Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). EQIP applications will be accepted until July 30.

Question: How can I tell how old eggs are at Ingles Markets?

Answer: You should see a number on the side of the egg carton. This is known as the JULIAN DATE. The Julian date shows you the year and date those eggs were packed, which would normally be within a few hours of the hens producing them.
