NEED: Allen and Doris Turner are requesting rezoning of . a 14 .97 .acre tract located on a gravel access road partially maintained by NCDOT. The access road connects to U.S. 70 at the southwest intersection corner of U.S. 70 and Interstate 85 in Eno Town-- ship . The property is known as Lot 77 and 77A of Tax Map 25 . The property is located in an area designated Twenty Year Transition and Commercial- Industrial Transition Activity Node in the Orange County Land Use Plan. The present zoning classification of the property is Rural Residential (R-i ) . The applicant is requesting the lot be rezoned to General Commercial-4 (GC-4) . IMPACT: Approval of the request would allow development of the full range of commercial uses at this location. Properties to the east and west of the tract are zoned GC-4. Rezoning of the property would allow for the development of the site as a single commercial project or, alternatively, the subdivision of the property into individual lots for commercial development . RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Department recommends approval of the general rezoning. I xf ;41-1N f:- W.

In point of fact, all, land which abuts the south side of the right-of-way for Interstate 85 and Highway 70 from North Carolina Secondary Road 1812 to a pgint some 1200 - 1300 feet east of the subject property with the exception of a small lot immediately adjacent to the subject property is presently zoned GC-4. In addition, there is significant concentration of commercial property located on the north side of Highway 70, just across from •our property. This commercial, property- contains the Best Western Motel, the Latta Construction Company and a significant general commercial tract which is currently undeveloped. A copy of the Orange County. Tax Map showing this area is attached. The areas currently having the zoning designation of General Commercial 4 are shaded. in yellow so that, in a graphic manner, it can be seen the extent to which General Commercial surrounds the subject property. The lot size is - appropriate to the method of water supply and sewage disposal in use. The property has a direct means of access to Highhway 70 via the access road adjacent to the property to the north. From the existing zone designations of the surrounding property, the change of zoning district to General Commercial 4 from R-1 for the subject property would simply coordinate with. the surrounding land use designations. • • m.i. mow wowwon ter. 7 t7 i a Chapel SW fine M8i7=922' Itieberrs'.fnep - rn ncwtl Owego'.dee- 68Ei.i3o C�nrl t€Nest, Sake tm Grir=z3cas • • Custom;H.G. 2751 91Z-416§: §: Jaffe Rabliosaft-PARA. • 4 1. • • • _ . _ _ • • L inspected t sewage dispaaaL system at l..�, �y, nn S� ce Rd Div /5 t 19�_ • NwI 70 The systeas appeared:. trx. bet Qariciag properly car e t -t dater:.

The Turner property would thus be served by an individual well (s) . • An 8-inch gravity sewer line is proposed to be constructed into Orange County from Durham in- the late spring or early summer of 1986. However, the line will only extend to the intersection Of U.S. 70 and N.C. 751 . The tract will , therefore, be served by en on-site septic system. A letter has been received concerning the existing septic system. The system is functioning properly, however, no further information has been received ' on the suitablity of the remainder of the site for on-site wastewater systems. ROADS/TRAFFIC The property is located on a gravel State-maintained access road leading to U.S. 70 at the southwest intersectional corner of U.S. 70 and Interstate 85. The tract has 320 feet of road frontage on the access road, 220 feet of which is maintained by the NC Department of Transportation . (SEE VICINITY MAP) The latest traffic information is from a 1982 NC DOT traffic count. The information indicated a count of 5800 trips per day on Highway 70 at the Durham County line. Traffic generated by development of the site could range from 3,311 trips per day for an office use to 20,460 trips per day for . a complex of retail stores with a common parking area (no one store has more than 100,000 square feet of gross floor. area) . It is unlikely, however, that the property would be developed to 020 AUGUST 8, 1986 . PAGE 2 PLANNING BOARD MEMO ALLEN AND DORIS TURNER IMPACTS • that intensity. An .example of a more likely development of the site would include a 1 ,500 square foot fastfood restaurants a 5000 square foot office building and a 10,000 square foot warehouse. Such uses would generate a total of 938 trips per day. 1 R . o • _ The Eno Volunteer Fire Department, Sheriff 's Department and Orange County Rescue Squad have all commented on police, fire and • rescue service and .-have indicated their ability to serve the- property. (See letters dated January 16, 1986, January 16s 1986 . and January 17, 1986 respectively. ) A ilk I . _ : ► I ' ' ► : ► i ON1J40 ORDINANCE The property is located within the Eno-2 Commercial/ industrial Transition activity node and the Twenty Year Transition Area. The Commercial/ Industrial Transition activity node designation corresponds with the full range of commercial: and industrial zoning districts from Local Commercial--1 - (LC-1 ) through Industrial-3 ( 1-3) . - The.

PURPOSE: To receive public comment on a proposed rezoning request for the property of R.B. Barlow, Jr and Robert • Falrcloth to correct an error - in the - Zoning Atlas. NEED: The Planning Department initiated the request following a complaint about the nature of the use _ (auto repair shop) on Lot 11 of Tax Map 30 in Cheeks Township. An adjoining lot, Lot 10, was incorrectly designated Existing Commercial (EC-5) at the time Cheeks Township was zoned (October 12 1984) . Lot 10 is a vacant, wooded lot and is 0.98 acres (42,511 square feet) in size. . Lot 11 is 0.72. acres (31 , 188 square feet) in size and contains • five (5) buildings - a 26'x28' residence, store • building, trailer, 9'x13' shed and 311x35' _ garage. Both lots front on U.S. Highway 70 and are situated between Frazier Road (SR 1310) and Redman Crossing (SR 1399) . At the time Cheeks Township was zoned, Lot 11 was occupied by Tyndall 's Gas and Grocery, and Lawn Mower RepairShop. Both lots are designated Ten Year Transition and Water Supply Watershed in the Land Use Plan. The present zoning of Lot 10 is Existing . Commercial (EC-5) , while the proposed zoning classification is R-1 Residential . The present zoning of Lot '11 is R-1 Residential , while the proposed zoning is 034 Existing Commercial (EC-5) . IMPACT: Approval of the request would correct an error In - the Zoning Atlas •made at the time Cheeks Township was zoned . A complaint has been filed concerning the nature of the use on Lot 11 - an auto repair . shop. The complaint has addressed concerns about • the excessive noise both during and after normal working hours, the unsightly nature of the operation, and travel safety since cars are parked within the right-of- way of Highway 70. The 1984 traffic count on. U.S. Highway 70 was 5,700. trips per day. Article 6. 14.2 of the Zoning Ordinance (see attached copy) . sets performance standards i.n _ regard to permitted noise levels. For properties zoned EC-5, noise levels cannot exceed 50 decibels between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm or 45 decibels between 7:00 pm and _ 7:00 am. For purposes of comparison, the noise level on a busy urban street is 90 decibels, while an. accelerating motorcycle is rated at 110 decibels. The racing of automobile engines on Lot 11 would fall within the same general rating. . The Sheriff 's Department has a decibel meter with . which to determine if performance standards are met. The obvious problem of enforcement is that noise levels could be decreased at the - time deputies appear to take measurements. A similar problem already exists in that automobile noise levels are increased after deputies have warned . the occupants of the site that they are disturbing neighbors. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Department recommends approval of the rezoning of Lot 10 from EC-5 to R-1 . The - Planning Department recommends that Lot 11 be left in an R-1 classification. Nonresidential - uses on that site would become nonconforming and subject to the provisions of Article 11 .9 (see = attached copy) . • • • . -■.- --.,--.-..-..-..--- Z......' . . .eV- .t.... .V....VP I . . re • • s, 6 V • . a - V . et • . t 0 j • . 12 _ . . / if • ' ,.I.

NEED: Orange County contains many sites of cultural , historical , recreational , biological and geological significance. Section IV-B-2, Land Suitability, of the Subdivision Regulations contains a . mandate to the Planning Board to consider the overall design of a subdivision in light of the suitability of the land for development. Land suitability Includes an investigation of historic sites and unique natural areas . Although information has been available through a variety of local and State agencies, it has never been compiled in one source, making it difficult for the Planning Department and the Planning Board to adequately assess the impact of subdivision proposals on such resources. Furthermore, similar mandates are not present in the zoning Ordinance. IMPACT: In May of 1986, an inventory of cultural , historical , recreational , biological and geological significance was completed. Incorporation of the document into the Land Use Plan represents an important first step in insuring the protection and/or preservation of significant natural and cultural resources. If approved, specific mechanisms such as incentive zoning, density transfers and cluster development 046 can be developed and/or utilized through which to achieve this goal . In addition, public and private agencies and organizations can be contacted for assistance in maintaining and managing signficant areas. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of amendment to text and Incorporation of inventory as appendix to the Land Use Plan. �rtr( 0 7 TO AMEND THE LAND USE PLAN BY SUBSTITUTION, PAGES 2.2-6, 2.2-7 Unique and Exemplary Natural Areas Certain areas in Orange County possess unique or exemplary natural characteristics which are .considered to be of great value; be it economic, educational , biological., or in some other sense. A natural area, as defined by the Triangle J Council of Governments, is "any space containing an unusual or exemplary biological habitat, geologic feature, or hydrologic location .n1 Natural areas can be broken down further into additional classifications: o Endangered Plant/Animal Sites - habitats of species identified as endangered . o Threatened Plant/Animal Sites - habitats of species that, while not endangered statewide, are rare and threatened with major habitat loss and population decline In Orange County. o Special Plant/Animal Site - habitats of species that, while rare, are not yet endangered or threatened and exist in small populations, are targets of exploitation, and vulnerable to specific pressures.a o Plant Communities - sites whose forest canopy, understory, and herb/vegetation layer is either unique or of a particularly high quality. o Exemplary Geologic Formations - exposed geologic formations of a particularly high quality or unique to the area. The Natural Heritage Program of the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, and the Triangle Land Conservancy have identified over thirty separate populations of endangered species along with numerous additional plant communities and other natural areas in Orange County. These areas include public lands such as Eno River State Park, quasi-public lands such as Duke Forest, areas with multiple private owners such as Occoneechee _ Mountain, and small sites in single private ownership. The presence of these unique natural features in Orange County suggests that special efforts should be made to manage these areas and • sites so as to conserve and protect those characteristics that make the site biologically or geologically important. This may include regulatory measures to insure protection or preservation of those features. J-Ilstorlc Sites Although sites of historic and cultural significance are part of the man-made environment and not natural features they nevertheless, are unique physical features that can have an impact on growth patterns within the county. Thus, they require treatment similar to unique and exemplary natural features and merit considerarion in this section. 048 Orange County, founded over 230 years ago, Is an area rich in history. Chapel Hill , Carrboro, and Hillsborough each have Historic Districts and other buildings on the National Register of Historic Places . There are additional National Register Sites in Cheeks, Hillsborough, and Bingham Townships. The North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources has also identified over twenty sites in rural sections of the county that, while not yet nominated or eligible for the National Registers are architecturally significant or important to the history of Orange County.. While existing buildings are perhaps the easiest historic sites to document they are by no means the only ones. Numerous mills once provided for the economic well- being of the county; many of the dams and raceways still exist. Over 150 cemeteries and burial sites provide a record, in many cases the only record, of the lives and deaths of Orange County residents. The Archeology Branch of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources has identified nearly 200 archeological sites in the county, recommending further study for many of them. Churches and rural community centers, including recreational facilities, should also be acknowledged as unique physical features. Their existence Imparts an Identity and cohesion to rural communities and neighborhoods that can benefit the planning process . While chuch buildings maybe of recent vintage and not of historic value, the same does not necessarily hold true for the congregations . Over twenty Orange County congregations have been In continuous existence for at least 150 years. A list of culturally and historically important sites, along with natural areas, is contained In Appendix D: An Inventory of Sites of Cultural , Historical , Recreational , Biological , and Geological Significance In the Unincorporated Portions of Orange County. As information on new sites is gathered or information on, existing sites changes the inventory may be updated administratively by the Planning Department Staff .. 1 197 a Southern Highlands:�lountain Resource Management Pjan , 1974 .

Carolina as places of historic interest but which. are not yet on the National Historic. Register. - PIT To facilitate the land use decision-making process in which enviramental • features cane into play, it is useful to divide such features into two . categories: critical features and sensitive features. Critical. features are those which can tolerate only m3 Sul intnisian. by man's activities either because of their fragile nature or use they are hazardous to people and development. Of the environmental : features discussed,. the 100-year floodway, the u ique natural areas .. _ and the historic sites seem to meet this criteria. Sensitive feati.oes are somewhat more tolerant of intrusion and alter- - ation. They may require special development restrictions or design. standards to insure that the detrimental effects of development are = ndrtimized and/or that problematic environmental conditions are - adequately considered to reasonably assure good development practices = and.results.. This category covers most of the environnental fps. _ • Combinations of sensitive features may warrant designation as a critical features Decisions are necessary to deterrni ne if such features cixabine \ in an additive manner which significantly conroumds the negative izrracts I. • of improper development activities. Such gray areas require careful • examination and analysis. • • • 2.2-7 O R A N G E C O U N T Y BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS 051 ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: August 25, 1986 Action Agenda Item # /e01 SUBJECT: PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENTS *************************************************************************** DEPARTMENT: PLANNING PUBLIC HEARING:__x_Yes No *************************************************************************** ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Text CONTACT: Marvin Collins Amendments TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel Hill 967-9251 Durham 688-7331 Mebane 227-2031 *************************************************************************** PURPOSE : To receive public comment on - proposed text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance.

NEED: On July 8, 1986, an updated schedule of fees for planning, erosion control and building inspection services was adopted by the Board of Commissioners . Since adoption of the schedule, it has become apparent that revisions are necessary to clarify certain fees and add other "miscellaneous" schedules which were not foreseen earlier. IMPACT: The proposed amendments to Schedules C, D and J would clarify the application of fees to certain types of construction . In addition, the provision regarding "Late Fees" would be incorporated again, and all schedules containing fees ending in $.50 would be rounded off to be consistent with the computerized permit system program.

DUKE FOREST The forest is seperated into six managerial and ten geographic areas of over 8,000 acres in Orange and Durham Counties . Although the bulk of forest land in Orange County in is northern Chapel Hill Township, there is also Duke Forest land in Eno, Hillsborough, and Cheeks Townships . "Natural Heritage Areas" within the forest amount to over 760 acres , including the New Hope Creek Natural Area, Oosting Natural Area, post oak-blackjack site, Meadow Flats, Blackwood Mountain, and Bald Mountain . Numerous significant plant communities, geologic formations, and endangered/threatened species exist in the forest . For additional information see specific sites below and Appendix 3: Duke Forest Natural Areas . B. BLACKWOOD MOUNTAIN e/o Old NC86 CSR1009] n/o Eubanks Rd . CSR1727] Part of area is in Duke Forest . tmr: Good example of low monadnocks which dot the eastern Piedmont. The forest canopy contains twenty species dominated primarily by white oak (Querecul Dlta) and chestnut oak (Q, prtDus) . The understory contains thirty-two species with dogwood (Corpus sourwood ( Oxydend iim aboreu,m) , and red maple (Acer rubrj ) comprising about 2/3 of the vegitation . The Shrub and Herb layer contains fifty-eight species, gooseberry ( VacciDIMD stamineum) being the most common . The upper northeast slope of the mountain was cultivated as recently as seventy-five years ago and is now occupied by a pine stand . Within 1 -40 corridor . -7z 7 t C. BALD MOUNTAIN between Old NC86 CSR10093 and Union Grove Church Rd . CSR1179] . In Duke Forest. tmr: At the base of the mountain lies a gabbro depression which floods during rains and retains water for several days . As a result, a bog community has developed containing an abundance of meadow selanginella (1, tea) and Joe-pye weed (F maL l-um) . Of special interest is the occurance of spicebush (J.. indera benZoin ) , and indicator plant of alluvial woods and basic soils . Existing canopy trees are approaching a climax community and include willow oak (Querrj p heJ 1og) , red maple (Aag: nitzmm) , sweet gum (L_i�ut� i gt racaciflu�) , loblolly pine (pine., a d ) , and tulip tree (J,ir_eoltemA on tuJ ipl fj) . Chestnut oak (Querc p g) , red maple, and white oak (auor_cua. DIba) dominate the forest canopy, while dogwood (Cornul spp . ) and sourwood (Odendrum arborejp) dominate the understory . D .

APPENDIX 2: ENO RIVER PARK NATURAL AREAS* A. The Cabelands B. Pump Station Tract C. Cabes Ford Location: Durham and Orange Counties, NC; Northwest Durham (1973) and Hillsborough (1968) 71 min. topographic quads. Ownership and Administration: State of North Carolina, Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, Division of Parks and Recreation. Approximate Acreage: Cabelands - 65 acres (26 hectares) , Pump Station Tract - 35 acres (14 hectares) , Cabes Ford - 5 acres (2 hectares) . Land Use: Surrounding Uses - Eno River State Park consists of several tracts of land located along the Eno River between Durham and Hills- borough, North Carolina. Lands along the river are still predominately rural, although the urban sprawl of Durham (Approximately 3 miles to the southeast) is reflected by a number of residential subdivisions being developed or planned in the park vicinity. This rate of development coupled with increased demands on the recreational resources of the river can reasonably be expected to continue in the future. Natural Area - Both the Cabelands and the Pump Station Tract have been recommended .as -natural areas in the Eno River State Park Master Plan. Visitor activities consist primarily of hiking and interpretation. Cabes Ford has traditionally been a popular place for picnicking and riding dune buggies across the river. The geologic integrity has not been affected and should remain in tact for the future. Plans for this site include a canoe launch, and picnic and camping facilities. Dangers to Integrity: Overuse by park visitors. Incompatible adjacent develop- ment. Description: The natural areas in Eno River State Park are significant in illustrating the natural history and geology of the region. Situated ad- jacent to centers of extensive development, these natural areas retain some of the features which once prevailed in the Piedmont. The Cabelands (also known as the Bernheim Tract) contains mature remnants of forest types that once covered the Eno River valley including pine, mixed pine-hardwoods, upland hardwood, beech-mixed hardwoods, birch and sycamore, and mixed bottomland hardwoods. The most diverse of these communities is dominated by beech (Fagus grandifolia) , hickory (Carya cordiformis) , and sweetgum (Liguidainbar styraciflua) and contains a rich variety of wildflowers including rattlesnake ilantakn(Goodyera pubescens) , crane-fly orchid (Tipularia discolor) , puttyroot (Aplectrum by e) , round lobed hepatica (Hepatica americana) , may apple (Podophyllun peltatum) , pipsissewa *Compiled from file information from the Division of Parks and Recreation, June, 1980. • r, v (Chimaphila maculata) , violets (Viola spp.) , false solomon's seal (Smilacina racenosa) , evergreen ginger (Hexastylis spp.) , deciduous ginger (Asarum canadense) , and Indian pipe (Monotropa uniflora) . Lower vascular plants are represented by Christmas fern (Polystichum acrosti- coides) , maidenhair fern (Adiantum pedatun) , ebony spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron) , southern lady fern (Athyrium asplenioides) , rattlesnake fern (Botrychium virginianum) , resurrection fern (Polypodium polypodioides) , and ground cedar (Lycopodium flabelliforme) . Also present is a small popu- lation of ginseng (Panax quinquefoliun) , a species given Threatened Through- out status by state botanists. Another Cabelands conaunity of significance occurs on a large northwest-facing bluff approximately 80 feet in height overlooking the river. Found here are pine/heath species more typically associated with the Upper Piedmont or Mountain regions. Scattered Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana) stands are on the bluffs with a dense understory of mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia) , sparkelberry (Vaccinium arboreun) , trailing arbutus (Epigaea repens) , and galax (Galax aphylla) . The Carolina Darter, Etheostoma Collis, has been collected at the Pleasant Green Road bridge, about 0.75 miles upstream from the Cabelands natural area. This fish has been given Special Concern status by state icthyologists. The Pump Station Tract contains a rich beech-dominated woods which features yellow lady-slippers (Cypripdeiurn calceolus) and showy orchis (Orchis specta- bilis) among the abundant fern and wildflower understory. The tract also contains a relatively undisturbed bottomland hardwood forest composed of tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) , black gum- (Nyssa sylvatica) , red maple (Acer rubrun) , and sweetgum. Cabes Ford (or Cates Ford) is significant from both a faunistic and geologic standpoint. The Neuse River waterdog (Necturus lewisi) , a large aquatic salamander of Special Concern, has been collected there. Geologically, the site's significance is best described by the statement of Butler et al. (1975) : "This site is located in a rock shoal of the Eno River where early paleozoic metavolcanic rocks are exposed naturally and generally kept in a clean-washed state by the river when it is in spate. Thus it is one of the best natural exposures of a pyroclastic rock which is widespread through the Piedmont of the Carolinas. The outcrops show breccia which seems to be the result of volcanic explosion or possibly a lahar. The component fragments of the breccia vary in size from microscopic to many centimeters in maximum dimensions and comprise a wide variety of tuffaceous sediments both pyroclastic and water-laid as well as fragments of lava. A few of the fragments contain smaller fragments which suggests that they are the broken remains of an old breccia made by an earlier volcanic explosion. Other fragments are water laid tuffs with many thin beds whose average thickness is only a small fraction of a centimeter. It has been suggested that each indi- vidual varve or thin bed of such sediments represents the sediment washed off uplands that were blanketed in new-fallen volcanic ash. Apparently each thin stratum or varve represents the sediment pro- duced by a single rainstorm carried to a nearby lava-dammed lake and deposited on its bottom." These natural areas encompass features which are becoming increasingly rare in the rapidly developing Piedmont Province. Mature hardwood forest as found on the Cabelands and the Pump Station Tract, although typical in composition compared to other sites (e.g. Piedmont Beech National Natural Landmark in Umstead Park in Wake County) , must be recognized as locally significant. The complex of corr¢nunities on the Cabelands also lends itself well to further study. The volcanic geology of Cabes Ford is considered worthy of special protection. Significance: 1. The Cabelands - Protected examples of various second growth piedmont forest types ranging from xeric pine/heath to mixed upland hardwoods to mesic hardwoods to floodplain forest. Occurrence of ginseng (Panax quinauefolium) , a herb species given Threatened Throughout status by state botanists. Nearby occurrence of Carolina darter (Etheostoma collis) a fish given Special Concern status by state icthyologists. 2. Pump Station Tract - Protected example of a good beech-dominated piedmont forest with a rich understory of vernal herbs including yellow lady's slipper (Cypripedium acaule) and showy orchis (Orchis sEectablis) . 3. Cabes Ford - ".. . one of the best natural exposures of pyroclastic rock which is widespread through the piedmont of the Carolinas" (Butler et al., 1975) . Management Recommendation: The natural areas should be managed according to the park master plan. The Central District Naturalist and Environmental Research Specilist should be consulted related to trail placement. Data Sources: Dr. William A.

USGS topographic quad maps, All of the nine areas are in the Piedmont Geologic Province, Piedmont Upland Section, Western Carolina Slate Belt Region and in2the Piedmont Lowland Section, Deep River-Durham-Wadesboro Basin Region. (See maps 1-5) . Ownership: Duke University; administered by the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Lanese: Natural Areas - Duke Forest, separated into six managerial and ten geographical divisions, is accessible to the public for hiking, horseback riding, picnicking, and similar recreation. Duke University specifically uses the forest for educational and scientific purposes, including forest management training and biological/ecological research. More than 400 graduate theses in forestry, plant and animal ecology have been written on the basis of research done in the Forest. The forest was a research site for the International Biological Program for 10 years. Surrounding Areas - Land usage in the region surrounding the various tracts that compose this complex of natural areas is highly variable and is changing continually. What was once a predominantly rural landscape is rapidly being converted to . low and high density residential developments with associated commercial urbanization. Designation Process: A multi-year resource inventory and multiple-use management planning process for Duke Forest has resulted in nomination by the Duke Forest Resources Manager and Duke School of Forestry and Environmental Studies of nine areas for inclusion in the North Carolina Registry of Natural Heritage Areas (Edeburn 1981) . Current management goals of the Duke Forest include the following (Edeburn 1980) : 1. To provide and maintain an adequate cross-section of Piedmont vegetation, timber stands, habitats and study areas suitable for " study by a varied set of disciplines including forestry, botany, zoology, ecology, anthropology, hydrology, and so forth; 2. To assure protection and longterm existence of various natural features, including unique flora, fauna, and associated habitats; 3. To provide adequate records and information relating to the natural resources base, management activities and research and teaching areas in order that vital documentation will exist for future research and educational activities; 4. To provide, as consistent with the above objectives, an important "green space" for the surrounding community in which non-consumptive recreational activities may take place and appreciation for the natural environment may be nurtured. 1Compiled by Charles Roe, Coordinator, N.C.

State University, Raleigh, N.C. lir Mk 4'. /, In 1979-80 an analysis by the Duke School of Forestry and Environmental Studies was conducted to identify outstanding natural communities and rare plant species habitats in Duke Forest.* The study attempted t locate those areas that, on the basis of their floristic resources, should be preserved for research, education, and other non-consumpt ve uses (Ohmann 1980) . The data collection component of the study co sisted of: (1) a review of pertinent literature; (2) collection of information from secondary sources; and (3) vegetation sampling and observation$ in the field. Recommendations of sites to be protected as natural areas were based on the following selection criteria: (1) critical habitat for a rare plant species; (2) plant community unique or unusual to the Duke Forest and/or North Carolina Piedmont; (3) an exemplary climax community or stage in succession. Each site's condition, or "quality" was also considered in the selection process (Ohmann 1980) . Recommendations of the sites were made to and approved by the Forest Resource Manag r, integrated into a Duke Forest multiple-use management plan, reviewe0 (with site visits) by the N.C. Natural Heritage Program, and review d and approved by the Dean of the School of Forestry and Environments Studies (Ohmann 1980; Edeburn 1981) . 1 *Note: The study did not include the Haw River division of Duke Forest in Chatham County.

Duke Forest contains some of the best examples of mature, second-growth forest communities remaining in the North Carolina Piedmont region. The university-managed forest is one of the few extensive tracts of Piedmont woodlands protected for research, recreational, and educational purposes. The forest has been the principal research location for the development of theories on old-field plant succession in the Piedmont (Oosting 1942; Keever 1950; Peet and Christensen 1979, 1980) . The following areas have been identified as the Duke Forest sites best exemplifying Piedmont natural communities (Edeburn 1981) : A. New Hope Creek Natural Area 1. This tract of land on either side of New Hope Creek contains a variety of distinct habitats on the north- and south-facing rocky bluffs, the alluvial terraces and adjacent slopes, and . the flooded depressions. The landforms support bottomland hardwood forest, mesic hardwood forest, and upland oak-hickory forest. The xeric south-facing bluffs sustain blackjack oak, post oak, and red cedar. The mesic north-facing bluffs, on the other hand,support chestnut oak, willow oak, white oak, shagbark and bitternut hickories, with tulip poplar, beech, sycamore, sweetgum, and sugar maple (Ohmann 1980; Ebert 1957; posting 1942; Peet and Christensen 1981; Edeburn 1981) . 2. Several uncommon ferns as reported from rock outcrops, including the lip ferns--Cheilanthes lanosa and C. tomentosa-which are near the eastern limits of their distribution (Oosting 1942) . . 3. The Wooden Brid a Bluff supports the highest herbaceous species diversity known In the Duke Forest, making this steep, 110 ft. high north-facing bluff one of the most interesting botanical features in the forest (Christensen, pers. comm. IN: Ohmann 1980) . The well-developed mixed mesic hardwood forest community on the Wooden Bridge Bluff is one of the least disturbed communities in Duke Forest; the cover canopy is dominated by tulip poplar, mockernut hickory, red oak, and beech with white oak and red maple also in abundance (Ebert 1957; Ohmann 1980) . Indian physic 1Gi.11enia stipulata) is an endangered peripheral in North Carolina which was collected on Wooden Bridge Bluff by Ebert in 1957, see Table 1. 4. The Rhododendron Bluffs are so called because a nearly pure understory stand of Purple laurel (Rhododendron catawbiense) covers the steep north-facing bluffs. This association is not common in the Piedmont and is generally considered to be a "relict" of an age when a colder climate prevailed throughout North America (Ohmann 1980) . The bluffs area also contains a representative beech forest community with scattered shortleaf pine (Ebert 1957) . Carolina beechdrops (Monotroesis odorata) , a North Carolina threatened peripheral species has been collected on the Rhododendron Bluffs (Duke Univ. herbarium 1933, 1973) . EL ^T ,-a ,F -r c ■ 5. Upland sites within the composite New Hope Creek Natural Asea include several permanent forest study plots which contain ' examples of mature hardwoods and mature, though successional , shortleaf-loblolly pine stands (Peet and Christensen 1981) «, B. Henry J. Oosting Natural Area 1. Good example of a beech-dominated community on a north-facing, , moderately steep, open slope along Old Field Creek. This community is considered a beech segregate of a cove hardwood forest by Bornkamm (1957) ., The beech-dominated community is bordered downslope by a bottomland forest (loblolly pine, mixed oaks, tulip, poplar hickory, sweetgum, red maple, white ash cover) , and upslope the beeches are joined by hickories, oaks, and red maple in cover dominance (Bornkamm- 1975; Waggoner 1975) . The forest community has been undisturbed for at least 50 years.. On the crest of the ridge and beyond, aging pine plantations become dominant. Pine stands are predominantly loblolly (Lieth 1973) but short-leaf pine also is abundant (Bornkamm 1975) . 2. Lewis' heartleaf (lexasylis lewisii) , a threatened Piedmont endemic.,is known from this site (Bornkamm 1975) . C. Loblolly Pine Alluvial Site . 1. Representative of mature loblolly pine stand (100+ years old) on a rich alluvial flat (Edeburn 1981) . D. Loblolly-Shortleaf Pine Stands 1. Representative of mature, well-developed, 110 year old mixed stands of loblolly and shortleaf pine Edeburn 1981) . E. Couch Mountain Tract 1. Relatively undisturbed upland tract of oak-hickory forest is largest expanse of this community type in Duke Forest and is characteristic of much of the Piedmont uplands prior to settle- ment. White oak dominates the tract. Also of importance are black oak, red oak and mockernut and pignut hickory. Scattered oaks exceed 300 years in age (Ohmann 1980; Edeburn 1981; Peet and Christensen 1981) . F. Post oak-blackjack oak site 1. Well-developed post oak-blackjack oak forest is only extensive stand of this association in Duke Forest and was the type locality for Oosting's study of this community (Ohmann 1980; Peet 1981; Oosting 1942) . G. Meadow Flats 1. "Swamp forest" association in an upland area has developed over poorly drained Iredell loam and Enon fine sandy loam with high clay content subsoil. The composition of mesic species (sweet- gum-tulip poplar-hydric oaks) is floristically similar to bottomland hardwood stands (Whigham 1971; Ohmann 1980) . - , y a if 2. Reported, but unverified, occurrence of Small whorled pogonia (Isotoria medeoloides) , a state and nationally endangered species. The orchid was collected over 10 years ago near the border between the hardwood and pine stand (Whigham 1971; and Mehrhoff, pers. comm. IN: Ohmann 1981) . H. Blackwood Mountain 1. Representative of Piedmont monadnock residual landform, dominated by chestnut oak with post and black oak and various hickories (Gibbon 1966) . I. Bald Mountain 1. Representatives of Piedmont monadnock residual landform, composed of resistant rhyolite, slates, diorite, and tonalite (Gibbon 1966) . 2. Good example of an old-growth, climax chestnut oak forest on and surrounding the exposed boulders of the monadnock (Gibbon, 1966) . Description: Duke Forest is located in the eastern Piedmont province of North Carolina. The forest is situated in the western Carolina slate belt, of Cambrian Age. Part of the Duke Division and most of the New Hope Division is underlaid -by. Triassic sediments of the Mesozoic era. The forest physiography consists of gently rolling hills and uplands separated by numerous valleys and streams. Steep, rocky slopes and bluffs occur occasionally, such as along New Hope Creek in the.Korstian Division (Ohmann, 1980) . Like the rest of the Piedmont, Duke Forest retains little of the original vegetation, believed to have been climax oak-hickory forest (Ashe 1987; Braun 1950) . Soon after European settlement, land clearing began on the Piedmont on a major scale. By the mid-1800 's nearly all arable land on the Piedmont was under cultivation (Powell 1975) . Economic factors and poor land management forced abandonment of much farmland during the latter half of the 19th and early part of the 20th century. Today much of the Piedmont landscape is in some stage of recovery from this abandonment. Relatively undisturbed stands of great age exist only in small, scattered locations usually on rocky areas, bluffs, or flooded areas inaccessible for timber cutting or inferior for growing crops (Oosting 1942) . Even many of these areas have at one time been selectively cut as woodlots (Gibbon 1966) . Up to and through the early 20th century, wood was the primary energy source in the Carolinas, and hardwood forests show the effects of selective cutting. During the late 19th century such cutting was intensified to provide wood for a growing furniture industry and for railroad ties (Pinchot and Ashe 1987) . The result is that today no old-growth forests remain on the Piedmont although scattered large oaks, often in excess of 300 years in age (some of them boundary trees) , persist in many of the selectively cut woods. In addition to cutting, grazing of both cattle and hogs has until recently been a chronic source of forest disturbance (Peet and Christensen 1980) . M 3 S The land on which Duke Forest was established in 1931 included homesites, cultivated fields, fallow fields, and fields abandoned 10 to 100 years. Also there were bottomlands and occasional wooded margins left uncultivated and bluffs and rocky ridges which apparently had never been cleared (Ousting, 19421 Four basic cover types are found now in Duke Forest: bottomland forests, mesic forests, upland forests, and pine forests. Mesic and upland forests may be further subdivided into hardwood and mixed pine- hardwood forests (Ohmann, 1980) . Nine sites have been selected as the most outstanding and highest quality natural areas in Duke Forest. The following descriptive summary was prepared by Norm Christensen (1981) . More detailed floristic and soil analysis is available on each site (Ohmann 1980; Peet and Christensen 1981) . The acreage in the Duke Forest proposed for designation the mature Natural Heritage Areas encompasses the full range communities found on the eastern Piedmont. The Duke Forest is situated on a complex of soil types weathered from Triassic sediments as well as acid igneous, basic igneous, and metamorphic (Carolina slate) rocks. Within its boundaries are included the range of site moisture conditions from riparian and poorly-drained swamp habitats to. austere monadnocks. As in much of this region, land use practices of the eithteenth and nineteenth century are still evident in many of the forests. The ongoing process of forest development is certainly a most interesting and important aspect of our natural heritage. Much of the area designated along the New Hope Creek represents some of the richest riparian and mesic ("cove") habitats still extant in the Piedmont. Soils in this area are generally base rich and moisture conditions favorable, resulting in strikingly diverse plant communities. Bluffs along the creek support many species which are more typical of mountain habitats. A large tract near Couch Mountain in the Durham Division has also been designated as it represents a continuous expanse of white oak-hickory forest which was probably characteristic of much of the Piedmont prior to colonization. Within this area small remnants of that original forest with oaks exceeding 300 years in age. This forest type is typical of upland sites on soils derived from acid igneous rocks and Triassic sediments. In the Blackwood Division several unique forest types have been designated. A well-developed stand of post.oak-blackjack oak is to be preserved at the east end of that division. This forest type is typical of soils with a high content of montmorillonite clay. Areas on Blackwood and Bald Mountain are designated which support chestnut oak dominated forests. These are on soils derived from quartz-rich rocks and represent the most nutrient poor end of a continum of ecosystems. Along old Highway 86 we have designated an area of "swamp forest" . This is a poorly drained area which often has saturated soils and a very unique assemblage of species. In both the Durham and Korstian Divisions, considerable acreage of pine has also been included. These pine stands range from 30 to -over 100 years since abandonment and they are exemplary of the process of secondary succession which is occurring on more than 90% of the forested land on the Piedmont. For each of these stands there exists an extensive data base so that this process can be monitored in a statistically meaningful way into the future. ; r- 4 While a few rare and perhaps endangered species do occur in the area designated, this is not the primary justification for preservation. Rather, these areas are representative of assemblages of species which typify the range of habitats and land use histories in the eastern Piedmont. Furthermore, there exists for each forest stand here designated an extensive data base involving permanently located plots. Thus, these areas have a long-term value bordering on priceless. Their proximity to urban areas and several universities have already made them incredibly important teaching tools. Dangers to Integrity: The most serious threat to Duke Forest and its natural areas are from encroaching urban development and land use pressures from increased populations. Protection Status: Currently managed and protected by Duke University. Preserve Recommendation: Areas identified and designated as outstanding natural areas by the Duke Forest management plan (1980) should be administered for protective management according to standards of that plan and should be accepted for inclusion on the State Registry of Natural Heritage Areas. Management Recommendation: Management should be in accordance with the Duke Forest multiple-use management plan. Recognition by Others: The Duke Forest has served as a research site for the International Biological Programme. The Society of American Foresters recognizes the Oosting Natural Area for its outstanding representations of forest communities. Data Sources: Christensen, N.C. 1981.
