Staff Contact: Jacqueline McNeil, Real Estate Management Director

Presentation: No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The Board of County Commissioners authorized the County Manager to negotiate and execute a lease with an option to purchase Tax Parcels 108-031-30(+/- 11.92 acres) on October 6, 2020. This property, currently owned by Durable Wood Preservers, Inc. is planned for future Solid Waste infrastructure. The property is immediately adjacent to the existing Hickory Grove Recycling Center.
As part of the planned remediation of the Durable Woods parcel, the property is going through the process for inclusion into the Brownsfield program, through the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The risk-based remediation requires the County to agree to restrict placement of groundwater wells on county owned property that is adjacent to the Durable Woods parcel.
This action was expected. No groundwater wells are anticipated to be placed in the areas shown on the attached map. However, it will be necessary to record deed restrictions after the NC DEQ has agreed to the remediation plan. This consent item serves to authorize the County Manager, or designee, to allow the necessary land-use restrictions as required for a Risk Based Remediation Plan.
There are no financial implications for this process.
