The above named people met at the Region II Headquarters site at
B. E. Jordan. The intent of this meeting was to define the
removal of the debris left from the clearing of the road and
beetle infested trees. The debris removal as defined below and
installation of gates on access roads from State Road 1716 are
the responsibility of the Division of Forest Resources.

Specifically the items discussed were:

1. Debris removal without any more damage is the major concern.

2. If the debris can remain, it is to do so.

3. The debris to be removed must be cut and lifted from the
structure and surrounding site.

4. The Corps of Engineers will purchase the materials for
fencing and gating access to the site along State Road 1716,
specifically the recent road cut and the access to the power
line right-of-way. (Apparently CP&L does not own the access
road as previously believed, 3/28/86 per Corps sources). The
wire and posts are stored at the Park's office on US 64.

5. The old US 64 access to the site is shown on the Master Plan
as gated. State Parks and Recreation requested that the
access be controlled.

6. State archeologists have offered to be available when the
debris removal commences and to perform an inspection when
the work is at least 90% complete.

7. The specific sites involved are:

(1) The tobacco barn - debris removal.

(2) Road cut at 31 CH 541 - to be filled with materials
imported to the site or with tree chips from the debris
removal operation. This area is to be filled only. No
more cutting will take place on this site.

(3) 31 CH 541 - trees are to be cut and removed from the
Plantation house remains and from one of the storage
building remains.

A map of the sites is attached.
