Request County Provide Public Access to Little River After Lowell Dam Removed Ernest Wilkinson of Kenly stated that at the request of fellow citizens in his area , he investigated the proposed removal of Lowell Dam on the Little River There was concern about how this would affect the navigability of the river , the adjacent land , and fishing and hunting He learned that Restoration Systems , LLC has been awarded a contract from the Corp of Engineers for the project In meeting with George Howell , representative for the company , it is his understanding that with the requirements from the Corp , Restoration Systems will turn the area into a river park that will benefit everyone in the area The company is recommending that an easement to the property be held to provide public access , and since this is outside the city limits of Kenly , it is suggested that the County take the easement Bryan Brice , environmental attorney who has worked with Restoration Systems on the project , stated that from an environmental aspect , the removal of the dam will be a great improvement He noted he has worked with Mr Howard on other projects , and highly complemented his work He pointed out that if the County does not hold the public access easement , the only other possibility would be the Triangle Land Conservancy , which would not necessarily have the same interest as the County George Howard gave a brief overview of the project , which is to remove the dam to improve water quality and restore migratory fish to the river and its tributaries Currently the project consists of 75 acre and the easement ; however , he hopes to add additional land , possibly up to 10 acres , in the future If the County agrees to take the land and maintain the access easement , Restoration Systems will make an endowment to the County in two phases of 70,000 each for a total of 140,000 to offset any cost The amount of acreage would not affect the endowment amount He noted that one of the major concerns will be keeping trash picked up at the site The company will do all site preparation and water quality testing before turning over the land to the County , and will be involved in the project for 5 years to make sure everything goes well Removing the dam will allow fishing opportunities for spring migratory fish , and will provide a much safer environment He notedPagePage pageNumber9819 November 1 , 2004 Continued that people have been illegally fishing near the dam for years , which was very dangerous , and over the last fifteen years , three lives have been lost In response to a comment from Commissioner Wade M Stewart about the original reason for the dam , Mr Howard noted it was constructed many years ago for a mill to locate at the site Once the people along the river realized that the dam stopped fish from coming up the river , they petitioned for it to be torn down He further noted that the site has historic value since Sherman camped there at the end of his march during the Civil War Restoration Systems plans to erect signs with all the historic and environmental information for the public Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr suggested the responsibility could be turned over to the Town of Kenly if the town limits should ever move out that far It was noted that the truck stop located in front of the dam has already been satellite annexed by the Town In response to a comment from Commissioner Stewart , Mr Wilkinson noted that Restoration Systems does get mitigation points for this project The points could be used anywhere along the Neuse River , however , mitigation is supposed to be taken to the closest point , which means they would probably be used in Johnston County County Manager Rick Hester stated he visited the site on Friday morning and his only concern is the question of liability , and noted that Attorney Mark Payne is looking for ways to diminish this as a problem Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr suggested that staff look into the legal aspects of the property acquisition , discuss the idea with the recreation advisory committee and make a Board decision at the December 6 , 2004 meeting The Board agreed 16 Buffalo Water District -

Request for Interim Residential Sewer Service Policy Tim Broome , director of Public Utilities , requested the Board adopt an Interim Residential Sewer Service Policy The policy would give Staff direction in dealing with the competing requests for allocation from approved residential projects until a more comprehensive revised policy is adopted Currently , the requests for allocation for approved projects exceed the county’s available capacity Should all projects be built at this time , the county would not be able to meet the demand until some changes are made Page0820 November 1 , 2004 Continued Staff is working with the state to relax the guidelines for required capacity per bedroom for residential development , and attempting to reacquire some allocated capacity In addition , the county has applied for grant funds to build a wastewater line from Benson to Four Oaks ; however , any capacity realized from this would be earmarked for industry Under the proposed policy , developers would be able to reserve capacity for future phases by submitting a 10 deposit at the time the developer pays the fee for the first phase This 10 would be a commitment from the developer that he will use the allocated capacity or forfeit it Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr asked about commercial and industrial uses Mr Broome responded the county has reserved 150,000 gpd for commercial use , and 250,000 gpd for industrial use Commissioner Mims pointed out that the reserve for industrial use could be a problem if an industry with great sewer needs came into the county Several developers who were in the audience asked for clarification of points in the policy It was explained that developers will be expected to establish time - lines for when they will need allocation for all future phases of a development , and they will only have one opportunity to change their phasing plan Mr Broome noted that the county will accept deposit only on capacity that can be guaranteed Mr Broome stated that hopefully the issue can be helped if we could get some assistance from the state in recalculating their requirements He did suggest that the policy allow for a one year phasing plan instead of six months He noted that staff is working on a proposed revision of the overall residential sewer policy , and should have something to the Board for their consideration within a few months Upon a motion by Commissioner Thomas M Moore , seconded by Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr and approved by unanimous vote , the Board adopted the following Interim Residential Sewer Service Policy Interim Residential Sewer Service Policy At the time of submittal of preliminary plans to the Department of Planning for initial Planning Board approval , a development phasing plan shall be included which specifies the schedule of development , the number and type of residential units , and the requested wastewater flow allocation required for each phase of development Wastewater capacity shall be allocated for residential projects on a development phase -
