p2612tT 21 <br /> aum <br /> Orange County Citizens for Watershed Protection <br /> March 7, 1994 <br /> TO: Orange Country Commissioners and Planning Board <br /> RE: Zoning Ordinance, Test Amendment Article 6.2 3.8 <br /> Water Supply/Sewage Disposal Facilities <br /> After reviewing this proposal, Protect Our Water (POW), an Orange <br /> County citizens committee active on water quality and watershed protection <br /> issues, recommends that you not adopt this amendment for the following <br /> reasons: <br /> ❑ It is a large step backwards from the level of watershed protection <br /> which has been adopted by general consent in Orange County over the <br /> last several years. <br /> ❑ Violating the established buffers to place septic systems closer to <br /> water supplies makes no sense. Off-sits septic systems are likely to <br /> be more trouble than on site ones. The reasoning in the Agenda <br /> Packet that failures of such systems "would be reported and corrected <br /> more quickly' flies in the face of common sense and experience. <br /> ❑ The purpose of the proposed amendment is clearly to allow more ' <br /> intense development of land than is compatible with wise watershed _ <br /> protection. It suits special development interests rather than the <br /> public interest of clean, safe water supplies over the long run. <br /> ❑ With the results of the previous University Lake Watershed Study <br /> recommending against such provisions, and the new Cane Creek <br /> Watershed Study now in progress, it is unwise and unsound public <br /> policy to carve out such an important exception. <br /> ❑ OWASA opposes this change. <br /> Thank you for consideration of this request. <br /> Protect Our Water <br /> POF 115 Vest Main Street, Carrbero, Borth Carolina 27510 <br />
