Re: Town of Four Oaks Buffer/Restoration Plan & Surrounding Land Use Plan at Properties
Along US 301 8~ Juniper Swamp Tributary
Dear Ms. Chapman:
On January 13, 2011, NCDWQ issued a Notice of Violation Letter to the Town of Four Oaks for tree
clearing performed on a tract of land which it currently leases from a private landowner. The
NCDWQ letter stated that a buffer restoration plan would be required. The Town subsequently hired
my firm to steer the Town back into compliance; and on March 3`" we met with Ms. Lauren
Witherspoon (NCDWQ Regional Office) for a buffer determination and discussion of the Town's
overall plans in this area, which included a future plan to construct a footbridge across the subject
stream. Consequently, Ms. Witherspoon recommended that the Town submit an overall plan to, A)
Restore the buffer, with plantings in Zone 1, and grass in Zone 2; and B) Seek authorization for the
impacts of the footbridge. Enclosed herewith for your review and approval are the following
documents:
1) Buffer Planting/Restoration Plan and Overall Future Town Plan - 3 Copy Sets as
specified by Ms. Lauren Witherspoon
2) Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Form with Completed Portions for NCDWQ
Buffer Approval Only-1 Original Signed by Applicant, Mayor of Four Oaks
3) Email from Ms. Lauren Witherspoon, dated March 9, 2001, which inGudes Field

On behalf of the Town of Four Oaks (Applicant), 1 would appreciate your review, approval, and Buffer
Authorization for the attached plan. Please contact me if you have any questions or require
additional information.

Subject: Town of Four Oaks
Brian,
It was a pleasure meeting with you and the Town of Four Oaks on March 3, 2011 to discuss the buffer violation
and other concerns on the two properties located on Wellons Street/301 (PIN 166112-96-3722 and PIN 166112-
96-1606).
After our meeting onsite, I discussed the project needs that were explained to me by the Mayor (Linwood
Parker) with my boss (Danny Smith) and the DWQ Director (Colleen Sullins). I explained (as it was explained to
me) that the site property east of the stream would be used as a type of farmers market to enhance the Town of
Four Oaks; that an African American community was west of this property, beyond the stream, and that this
community not be isolated from the Town; and provide a welcoming view of the Town when traveling on 301.
It was also my understanding that the way the Town would meet these goals was by removing vegetation along
the stream (already performed which is a buffer violation); removing vegetation along a ditch and excavating a
small pond west of the stream (not yet performed); build a berm on the property east of the stream (not yet
performed); and construct a footbridge across the stream (not yet performed).
During the site visit I explained that a footbridge across the stream would require a buffer authorization (or
approval from DWQ); that removing vegetation along the ditch and small pond would be permissible since I
determined that it was not Subject to the Buffer Rules but the US Army Corps of Engineers be contacted in
regards to whether this area was a wetland; and that building a berm on the property east of the stream was
exempt from the buffer rules as long it was atleast 30 feet away from the top-of-bank of the stream and that is
was vegetated by atleast grass. We also discussed the requirements to replant the buffer (15t 30 feet) along the
eastern side of the stream. DWQ requires that 2 hardwood tree species be planted at a density of 320 trees per
acre (surviving at the end of three years). However, Mr. Parker indicated that this was not in line with the
Town's goals and that he would prefer that only shrubs be planted and at most 4 trees. In addition, he indicated
that the Town would want to be able to maintain this area to ensure that the view of the Town was not
impeded.
I indicated that DWQ could not authorize the maintenance of this area (with the exception of nuisance
vegetation which is Exempt from the buffer rules) and that this was the authority of the Environmental
Management Commission. I also explained that I could not make an exception to the planting requirements but
that I would discuss with my boss to determine if he was able to.
Per my discussion with Danny Smith, DWQ will allow you to submit a planting plan when you apply for the buffer
authorization for the foot bridge. This planting plan can consist of shrubs if you prefer. However, we would like
for you to use the list of plants in the Riparian Buffer Guidelines.
I had attached a copy of the document (Exotic Species Guidelines) that contains a list of nuisance vegetation (a
list is in the Table of Contents) that can be manually removed (not by weed eater or any other mechanized
equipment) from the buffer.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
