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.
