Via email to: rbraswell@rdbraswell.com February 12, 2020 Mr. Richard D. Braswell Chairman Moccasin Creek Service District 2736 NC Hwy. 210 Smithfield, NC 27577 RE: Notification and Confirmation that the Johnston County Drainage District #1: Moccasin Creek Watershed Central Drainage District maintenance is limited on Parcel 262414-33-7734 Dear Dicky, Wildlands Engineering, Inc. is planning a riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation bank on the Johnston County Parcel ID 262414-33-7734 owned by Daniel F. and Paula S. Kornegay. The attached Exhibit A shows the parcel and the approximate area of the buffer mitigation bank project. Wildlands' plans are to record a permanent conservation easement approximately in the areas shown on Exhibit A. Once approved by the NC Division of Water Resources, we will plant trees throughout the easement area. As we have previously discussed, the Central Drainage District maintains an access route on the North side of Moccasin Creek and does not have an easement or right of access on the South side of Moccasin Creek. However, as a part of its approval process for the buffer restoration project, the NC Division of Water Resources is requiring that we coordinate with the Drainage District to document that any future travel -way within the proposed conservation easement area for the Drainage District will be limited to 15 feet from the top of Moccasin Creek and the lateral streams coming into Moccasin Creek on the site. This would apply to any future maintenance contracts issued for the project parcel as well. Your signature on page two of this letter indicates that you have reviewed the attached preliminary map and that you see no conflict between the Central Drainage District and the NCDWR requirements of a limited 15-foot travel -way on the Kornegay's parcel approximately as shown on the attached Exhibit A.
