2 <br /> • The public safety and emergency access plans, and any other information <br /> called for the in the adopted OWASA conditions of 2016. This includes efforts <br /> to mitigate any water quality issues related to stream crossings, and <br /> • A draft interlocal agreement between OWASA and Orange County about the <br /> trail construction and operation/maintenance, including the potential for trail <br /> closures in some areas during forest management activities. This will require <br /> legal review by both the County and OWASA. <br /> The meeting was fruitful and positive, and both staffs are already making plans to <br /> do the trail ground-truthing and GPS trail location (along with our trail building <br /> colleague from the Friends of the MST organization) in the upcoming months, <br /> with a goal of moving toward the potential for plan and agreement approvals in <br /> the spring and summer of 2022, with construction targeted for the fall. <br /> We look forward to working with our colleagues at OWASA and the Friends of <br /> MST as we make progress. Please let me know if I may provide any additional <br /> information. <br /> Copies: Travis Myren, Deputy Manager <br /> Chris Hirni, Land Conservation Manager <br /> Orange County Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks &Recreation <br /> PO Box 8181, Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Phone: (919) 245-2510 <br /> Fax: (919) 644-3351 <br />
