Box 36 <br /> Hillsborough, N. C. 27278 <br /> Dear Mr. Greene: <br /> Included in this letter is the information you requested per our <br /> conversation on Tuesday, January 21 , .1986 concerning your subdivision <br /> project and farm, Beachwood Knoll. <br /> You requested assistance in November of 1985 from the Soil Conservation <br /> Service in planning the best soil and water conservation plan for <br /> your farm located off SR #1554 (Baldwin Road). In December, 1985, <br /> you entered into a contract with the Orange Soil and Water Conservation <br /> District under the Nutrient Sensitive Watershed cost-share program. <br /> This contract and plan of operations is considered the 'Best Management <br /> Practices' (BMP) for your farm. The plan includes seeding a <br /> 40 acres of cropland to permanent vegetation by the fall of 1 te986xandiy <br /> maintaining this vegetation for the life of the contract - 10 years. <br /> The homes are to be built in the woodland areas. All the woodland will <br /> be left natural , except where the building sites will be. The soil on <br /> the farm is Georgeville. This soil type is generally a well drained soil <br /> that abosrbs water at a permeability rate of .6 - 2.0 inches per hour. <br /> Due to the area being left natural , runoff from the home sites should be <br /> absorbed by the soil and natural cover. This plan includes proper woodland <br /> maintenance, such as harvesting dead or diseased trees, therefore leaving <br /> other trees to remain healthy. <br /> Presently your farm has a soil and water conservation plan and is under contract <br /> with the Orange Soil and Water Conservation District. I feel you have an <br /> excellent erosion control plan for your subdivision Beachwood Knoll . <br /> If you have any questions, please feel free to call. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> J � {Lcg�c t L <br /> Gail M.
