(Symbols in parenthesis) indicate the basis for assigning a "No" to a potential use or activity: (uo) indicates utility operational constraints; (r) indicates state or local <br />regulatory constraints on a/ternative uses; (fl indicates the need to maintain OWASA's future options at a site; and (wt~ indicates water quality concerns. <br />2. Regulatory restrictions on altemative uses of this property are subject to change if initiated by other governmental entities. <br />3. Refers to OWASA's existing 59-acre Quarry Reservoir site located east of Bethel-Hickory Grove Church Road <br />4. Much of the OWASA property downstream of the Cane Creek Dam is located in the apron of the dam's emergency spillway. The remainder of this site is constrained by steep <br />topography and/or proximity to access roadways and the raw water pumping station. <br />5. Because a portion of the existing Cane Creek recreation area slopes towarcl the reservoir (inside the watershed) and the remainder slopes away (outside the watershed), .the <br />potential water quality impacts of altemative uses/activities would depend on their specific location. <br />6. A narrow 3-acre strip of the Meadowcrest property is located within the watershed but outside the 1/2-mile Critical Area. There appears to be little or no opportunity for <br />alternative use of this site. , <br />t <br />
