Commissioner Lloyd asked if this recommendation would be applicable in other areas as well. Wray responded that one example was the recently completed project by the City of Durham. He noted that much more than 7Q10 was being released in that project. He noted that the difference of .4 with no instream flow is the figure being recommended for Orange County. He stressed again that the water does not belong to anyone in particular but there is the right to use it. Chair Willhoit noted there is a policy question that the Board should address concerning the cutoff point to OWASA; whether that point be before there is a water shortage in northern Orange County; or whether a phase down process is used. Wray responded that would be a judgement call. Chair Willhoit noted that the Manager's recommendation was a "sharing" of the resources as the reservoirs are drawn down including a cut back but not a complete cut-off on the transfer to OWASA. Wray responded that the study must stay within the Eno River Basin given that correlating the data would be very difficult if not impossible otherwise. Billingsley noted that he would like to work with Wray's office to determine if some reasonable alternatives could be reached in this complex problem. Chair Willhoit stated that he understood that the modeling was necessary to development of the management plan. Wray responded that his office could deal with the management plan within the Eno River. Chair Willhoit noted that the Durham connection with OWASA needed to be explored again as it seems to be a critical link. Willhoit mentioned conservation and noted that Mayor Sheffield had stated that the Town of Hillsborough is going to explore that issue. He also noted that the county plumbing inspector is enforcing the current state plumbing code which requires the installation of low-volume plumbing fixtures. He also indicated there might possibly be some design type standards that could be developed for the conservation of water. Chair Willhoit noted that the engineering work on the by-pass of University Lake needed to proceed and that the Town of Hillsborough had indicated they are going to proceed with the Lake Ben Johnson modifications. He added that the cost effectiveness of raising the dam on Lake Orange needs to be reviewed as the figures from the November 15, 1985 statement reads $32, 000 and the figure stated at this public hearing was $100, 000. Chair Willhoit continued that the engineering work on the Burlington connection needed to proceed as well as the development of a purchase agreement with the City of Burlington. Don Cox noted that there was no low flow staff guage at the USGS guaging station and requested that the County purchase such a guage. Willhoit asked that the Manager work with the Town of Hillsborough to purchase this item. Commissioner Marshall stated she felt serious consideration should be given to what and how the Board will move on Horace Johnson's recommendations. She felt this was the long range answer
