Carter promises in campaign speeches "to put the Corps of Engineers out of the dam-building business." The environment is an issue on which Carter has a well-established record.

The general assembly voted unanimously to incorporate the 26-mile stretch of the New River in Ashe and Alleghany counties into the state's scenic river system and turn it into a park.
