This bill, the Down East Remembrance Act (S. 1280), would give official names to six creeks in Carteret County where people died in a plane crash on February 13, 2022. The bill lists each creek by name and by exact latitude and longitude: Noah Styron Creek; Hunter Parks Creek; Kole McInnis Creek; Stephanie Fulcher Creek; Jacob Taylor Creek; and Daily Shepherd Creek. The bill also says that any reference in a United States law, regulation, document, record, map, or other paper to one of these creeks shall be treated as a reference to the creek as named in this bill.
If you live near or use maps of the named creeks, federal documents and maps would treat those waterways by the new memorial names listed in the bill. The bill only sets names and coordinates. It does not say it changes land ownership, public access, land management, or create funding for signs or local work.
The bill text does not include funding, cost estimates, or spending instructions. No publicly available information.
The bill text says the naming is to honor the lives lost in the February 13, 2022 plane crash. The bill was introduced by Senators Thomas Tillis and Ted Budd. The stated action is to provide memorial names for the six creeks and to make those names the referenced names in federal documents.
