through extension of the Efland sewer system owned by Orange County. Because the district is bordered or bisected by so many transportation and utility systems,the entire district has been designated as Primary Development Area. The district is characterized by gently rolling topography with few building constraints. However, soils unsuited for development are found along intermittent streams which flow south beneath I-40/1-85 to join Seven-mile Creek, a tributary of the Eno River. Because of its location on the western edge of the Upper Eno Watershed, land uses in the district are subject to watershed protection standards governing impervious surface and the control of stormwater. The total amount of impervious surface covered by buildings and parking lots is limited to 70%of a building site. As shown on the schematic plan, stormwater control for multiple sites may be provided through construction of several detention basins.located along individual streams draining the district, particularLy on the north side of the interstate(ac shown on the schematic p1=). Alternatively.a larger_, single detention basin could be constructed on the south side of 1-85 at or below the confluence of he streams Detention basins may also be constructed on individual sites. . Impervious surface limits and standards for detention basin construction and maintenance are discussed further in Section 2.3 - Land Intensity and Appendix C- Wet Detention Basin Standards., respectively. Section 2.4 Environmental Factors I-85/Buckhorn Road District The I-85 Buckhorn Road Economic Development District has three potential service providers-the Orange-Alamance Water Corporation, Orange County(through the Efland sewer system),and the City of Mebane. Water Supply. Service to this District is available from the Orange Alamance Water Corporation by-way-of an existing 12-inch water line along U.S. Highway 70. From this distribution main extend the following lines: 6-inch water line West side of Buckhom Road from U.S. Highway 70 to south side of Southern Railroad
