ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: June 1, 2010 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. —] - CA <br />SUBJECT: Draft Comments - Proposed Falls Lake Nutrient Management Rules <br />DEPARTMENT: Planning PUBLIC HEARING: (Y /N) No <br />Environment, Agriculture, Parks <br />& Recreation (DEAPR) <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Draft Letter to EMC <br />Proposed Rules Summary <br />Ag Preservation Board Comments <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />David Stancil, DEAPR, 245 -2522 <br />Tom Davis, DEAPR, 960 -3878 <br />Craig Benedict, Planning, 245 -2592 <br />Terry Hackett, Planning, 245 -2588 <br />Gail Hughes, DEAPR- Soil & Water <br />245 -2753 <br />Tom Konsler, Environmental Health, <br />245 -2370 <br />PURPOSE: To consider draft comments for submittal to the N.C. Environmental Management <br />Commission on the proposed Falls Lake Nutrient Management Rules, which are to be <br />presented for public comment this summer. <br />BACKGROUND: On March 16, the Board received a presentation on the Triangle Mayors and <br />Chairs "Consensus Principles" regarding the proposed Nutrient Management Strategy for the <br />Falls of the Neuse Reservoir (Falls Lake) watershed. The draft Nutrient Management Strategy <br />(usually referred to as the "Falls Lake Rules ") was forwarded to the Environmental Management <br />Commission (EMC) in March. A summary of an earlier version of the Falls Lake Rules prepared <br />by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality is attached. The summary includes discussion <br />of the rules development process. This document, dated January 2010, summarizes an earlier <br />set of rules which are slightly different from the current set of draft rules. <br />Based on recent conversations with the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) staff, the EMC is likely <br />to authorize the DWQ to publish the proposed Falls Lake Rules in the June 2010 State register, <br />which will in turn initiate a 60 -day "window" for the public to comment on the draft rules. This 60- <br />day period is likely to begin on or about June 15 and end circa August 15. The 60 -day public <br />comment period may include public hearings in Raleigh and Durham. The Falls Lake rules are <br />expected to go into effect in February 2011, initially as "temporary rules ", and then later as <br />permanent rules once they are approved by the Rules Review Commission and the North <br />Carolina General Assembly. <br />
