8 <br />8. The can-ent planned public comment period is not feasible. <br />a. The current planned timetable for public comment over the summer months <br />(June 15-August 15) is not optimal to receive public comment on a subject of <br />this importance. Many local government boards take a "summer" break. <br />Because of the potential cost and far reaching ramifications of these rules, <br />the public comment period should be sufficiently long enough to allow <br />appropriate response from impacted local governments. <br />In summary, Orange County would ask the Commission to consider modification of and <br />alternatives to application of a single nutrient reduction percentage to all jurisdictions in <br />the Upper New Hope Arm. <br />Thank you for considering these comments, and we stand ready to help work with the <br />State and other local governments in an equitable and efficient manner to reduce <br />nutrient loading in Jordan Lake. Please feel free to contact our staff in the Environment <br />and Resource Conservation and Planning departments if we may provide additional <br />information or clarification. <br />Sinc ely, <br />oses Carey, Jr. <br />Chair <br />Orange County Board o Commissioners <br />Co ies <br />Board of Commissioners <br />Laura Blackmon, County Manager <br />Rich Gannon, NCDWQ Non-Point Source Planning Unit Supervisor <br />Sydney Miller, TJCOG Water Resources Program Manager <br />
