COUNTY: Wake - NEAREST TOWN: New Hill
SPECIFIC LOCATION (INCLUDE ROAD NUMBERS, LANDMARKS, ECT.) Approximately in the
center of 100 acre tram behind residence at 2521 New Hill Olive Chapel Road No Building construction
nearby. The ponds are to be located on intermittent streambeds (dry most of the year). The land is within
the angle formed by old US I and New Hill Olive Chapel Road (See attached map) On the map there are
three adjoining tracts which we own that are outlined Both pond sites are on the largest tract (100.5 acres).
Unfortunatelour property is at the unction of four topographical maps available through Wake county. I
had to copy and tape together the four sections The largest map is 1 inch: 200 feet and the smaller is 1' to
400 feet Also the most recent aerial photos available were taken in 1981 and show the largest tract after it
had been harvested All harvested sections were replanted in Loblolly pines We are managing the tract as
Stewardship Forest with the assistance of the North Carolina Forest Service, North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission. Natural Resources Conservation Service and North Carolina Cooperative
Extension We received the Stewardship Forest Award for these efforts last year.
