Dwight Compton, a tobacco farmer in Cedar Grove, spoke. I'e e:.pressec~ concerns frith tre Upper PlQUSe and the measures taken in the past to protect Orange Lalce from secli;nentation. Gorc=an noted that Pir. Compton's concern was not the subject of - the public hearing, but she would direct it to staff for comr~Pnt. Planning Director Collins responded that he could comment to the extent that staff had looked at the Upper Eno T9atershed and had designated on a map a Crater quality critical area for Lake Orange and proposed reservoir in that area called the 'lest Fork of the Eno. F?ovrever, there has been no request on the part of the Commissioners nor the ]?lanninc Poard to designate at this time the ?•TnCA for any part of Cedar Grove or Little River Township. The only question at hand is the designation of P7QCA for Cane Creels and University Lalce watersheds. t-1r. Compton still had concern that his property in Cedar Grove might someday come under the same qualification. Collins further stated that if it were designated nota, it t•rould only be designated in the Lane Use Plan. There is no zoning in Little River or Cedar Grove Townships and the initiative here is to only apply the designation in zoned townships, which would involve Cheeks, Lingham, Hillsborough ancz Chapel Hill Townships. !•Iith no zoning, there is no push for such designation in Cesar Grove Township. Commissioner !•7alker noted that fir. Compton had referred to the -.- installed sediment structures as protection for Lake Orange and notr other methods crere being used. Commissioner T•lillhoit responded that the sediment structures t•~ere still one method of protecting a water supply, but that ;she distinction that needs to be made here is that Lake Qrange is not a primary Crater supply but just a back-up vrater supply and acts currently as a detention structure. John Harris, a resident of Durham, inquired of the Commissioners llOt•r other jurisdictions protect vrater supplies. He noted that !•dal:e Gcurty had been mentioned at the t?ovember 5, 198 pub11C hearing. He asked trhat trere some of the s:.anc==arils other communities Caere enforcing.
