The water supply needs of the thirteen partners have been vetted <br />through multiple rounds of peer review and represent the most complete long -term picture of <br />the Region's demands compiled to date. A thorough regional water supply alternatives analysis <br />determined that the JLP Recommended Alternative would be most acceptable in terms of <br />implementability, environmental and community impacts, customer costs, and overall <br />acceptance by local governments and the general public. <br />The JLP efforts constituted the successful collaboration — including an unprecedented level of <br />mutual trust and respect — among local entities planning, coordinating, and moving toward <br />implementation of a water supply plan that will meet the long -term needs of the entire Triangle <br />Region. Individual partners will continue to operate their own systems, but the success of this <br />regional water supply plan will depend on each partner being able to implement its respective <br />additional water supply sources as recommended. <br />The partners investigated the various impacts of the JLP Recommended Alternative — including <br />effects on the environment, downstream water users, and the general public — and found these <br />impacts to be acceptable and preferable to those of the other options. Hydrologic effects of <br />the JLP Recommended Alternative were modeled with the recently updated Cape Fear -Neuse <br />Basin OASIS model. Preliminary results indicate the proposed alternative will meet long term <br />Page 1 7 Orange County 2014 Jordan Allocation Request <br />
