OWASA <br />August 19, 2004 <br />ORANGE WATER AND SEWER ALiTHORITY <br />Quality Service Since 1977 <br />Mr. Wib Owen, Section Manager <br />NC Wildlife Resources Commission <br />Division of Wildlife Management <br />1722 Mail Service Center <br />Raleigh, NC 27217 <br />Dear Mr. Owen: <br />~- 5 <br />To follow up recent discussions between OWASA staff and NC Wildlife Resources Commission <br />(NCWRC) staff; we propose to clarify OWASA's Cane Creek Reservoir 404 Permit obligation <br />regarding public hunting by instituting a NCWRC-managed permit hunting program on <br />OWASA's 500-acre "Mitigation Tract" (Orange County PIN 9832-36-7089) in lieu of waterfowl <br />hunting on the Reservoir itself: <br />In addition to providing hunting opportunities, apermit-controlled program on the Mitigation <br />Tract would help resolve some of the ongoing management and patrol problems on that property <br />and would avoid a new set of managerial and water quality issues that would azise by opening <br />the Reservoir to waterfowl hunters at a time of the year when it is otherwise closed to the public. <br />It is our understanding that apermit-controlled deer hunting program on the Mitigation Tract <br />would limit the number of hunters on the property at any one time to a maximum of five, <br />probably for three days a week during the deer season. Hunting would be pernutted with bows <br />and azrows, muzzle loaders, or shotguns, but not with high-powered rifles. The entire process of <br />permitting, registration, and enforcement would be managed by the NCWRC. Because the <br />property would be pazt of the state gamelands program, NCWRC staff would be permanently <br />responsible for pasting and patrolling the property for trespassers, off~road vehicle use, and so <br />forth, We recognize that precise details of the program would be developed during the coming <br />year and that the property might be opened for hunting in the fall of 2005. <br />We understand that our staff level expression of interest at this time will enable the NCWRC to <br />begin outlining a permit program and to initiate discussions with the Corps of Engineers about <br />modifications to the 404 Permit. It is important to note, however, that our' staff recommendation <br />is subject to approval by the OWASA Board of Directors, with whom we look forwazd to <br />discussing this in the neaz future. We would appreciate your assistance in further explaining the <br />program to the Board at that time, <br />400 Jones Ferry Road Equal Opportuni[y Employer Voice (919) 968-4421 <br />PO Box 366 Printed on Rerycled Paper FAX (919) 968-4464 <br />Carrboro, NC 27510-0366 Harm orvasoarg <br />
