1989 SESSION

CHAPTER 384
HOUSE BILL 568

AN ACT TO REMOVE CERTAIN LAND IN THE HEMLOCK BLUFFS NATURAL AREA FROM THE STATE NATURE AND HISTORIC PRESERVE AND TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF EXCHANGE WITH THE TOWN OF CARY FOR OTHER LAND MORE CRITICAL TO THE PROTECTION OF THE BLUFFS.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  Article 25B of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes is amended by adding the following new section to read:
"§ 143-260.10C. Removal of land in Hemlock Bluffs from the State Nature and Historic Preserve.
Notwithstanding the provisions of G.S. 143-260.10(1), the tract identified as a portion of the property legally described in Deed Book 3135, Page 937, Wake County Registry, containing 14.4 acres, as shown on a survey prepared by A. Roger Barnes (RLS) and entitled 'Proposed Exchange of 14.4 Acres From the State of North Carolina to the Town of Cary,' dated August 19, 1988, is removed from the State Nature and Historic Preserve.
The State of North Carolina may only exchange this land for other land to expand Hemlock Bluffs Natural Area or sell the land and use the proceeds for that purpose. The State of North Carolina may not otherwise sell or exchange this land.
The removal of the portion of Hemlock Bluffs under this section achieves the requirements and purposes of Article 2C of Chapter 113 of the General Statutes and constitutes a deletion from the State Parks System as required by G.S. 113-44.14."
Sec. 2. This act is effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 21st day of June, 1989.
