Re: Bonnerton Hardwoods Declaration of Conservation Restrictions Recording
Dear Ms. Higgins:
The NC Division of Water Quality (now Division of Water Resources) issued to PCS Phosphate
401 Certification No. 3771, DWQ #2008-0868 version 2.0 on January 15, 2009, for our mine
expansion in Beaufort County. Draft conservation easement language to satisfy a portion of
Condition 9 of the Certification was submitted to DWR on August 9, 2009. This "Declaration of
Conservation Restrictions" for the NC Natural Heritage Program Bonnerton Non-Riverine
Wetland Hardwood Forest was approved in a July 6, 2015 letter from DWR.
The DWR approval letter required that the "Declaration of Conservation Restrictions" should be
recorded at the Beaufort County Register of Deeds office and a registered copy submitted to the
DWR within one year of the issuance of approval. Enclosed is the registered copy of the
recording, which includes the survey map and metes and bounds description of the tract. If you
have any questions, please call me at (252) 322-8249, or email at jfumess@pcsphosphate.com.
