~~. ~~' possible level of the new stream classification system which is WS-I and WS-II. The success of this request depends upon actions of Orange County, since most of these watersheds are located in Cedar Grove and Little River Townships. The reclassification is pending an investigation by the Division of Environmental Management. Mr. Bruce presented the request~~~,:~ that Orange County designate the Flat River and Little River Watersheds in Orange County as water supply watersheds and provide the same level of protection currently provided for Lake Orange, Corporation Lake, Lake Ben Johnson, Cane Creek, University Lake, and Seven Mile Creek. This would be in the best interests of Durham and Orange Counties. The Durham water system already serves Orange County along US 70 as well as having provided emergency water in Chapel Hill for OWASA. He continued that there is a potential interconnection with Hillsborough to serve Orange County citizens, and there may also be potential for separate water supply reservoirs on the north and south forks of Little River to serve Orange County directly. The City of Durham is cooperating with Durham County on the development of a watershed--wide study of the Lake Michie and Little River watersheds. One of the major inputs into the study will involve Orange County's long range plans for these watersheds. He asked that orange County cooperate with Durham County as they move forward with this watershed- study, noting that all information developed would be of interest to both Durham and Orange Counties. Commissioner Hartwell stated that he felt it would be in the best interest of orange County to help Durham protect its water supply, particularly if Durham is going to reciprocate and make a long-term (longer than ten years) commitment to supply water. He continued- that he also felt it would not be good for Orange County to agree to protect that watershed in perpetuity and Durham set only a ten-year limit on water provision to orange County. He indicated that was the status of the negotiations now with the Town of Hillsborough. He stated the two counties should work together and asked that the paper reflect that concern. Mr. Bruce indicated agreement with Commissioner Hartwell, noting that he had not been involved with the negotiations with the Town of Hillsborough so he did not know what had transpired thus far between Hillsborough and Durham. Planning Board member Peter Kramer asked the County Attorney to explain the process for implementation of the Township Plan. Gledhill responded that the Plan would be implemented through the Subdivision Regulations and the Zoning Ordinance when zoning is applicable in the township. Kramer continued, asking about watershed protection. Gledhill responded that there are some watershed protection measures that are in the Subdivision Regulations, however, watershed protection measures must be implemented primarily through zoning regulations. Commissioner Hartwell spoke to Marvin Collins, Planning Director, indicating he wished to go on record publicly as being critical, of the center at Underwoods, noting that he .felt it was a disgrace to Orange Caunty. He continued, stating that there was nothing in this Land Use Plan which helps deal with such a situation as Underwoods. Collins concurred. Hartwell continued, asking if there is anything in place at this time which could help deal with the situation, noting that he felt it is a threat to the health and safety of the community. Collins responded that there are no ordinances currently in place which the Planning Department enforces which would give Staff any means- of addressing that situation. He continued that short of having a specific ordinance which addresses nuisances, there is nothing that could be done at this point. Barry Jacobs, Planning Board Chair, asked Gene sell how closely the growth
