Ken Thompson presented an overview of the report. At the Environmental Management meeting to be held in December, the level of Instream flow requirement will be discussed. In the short term, action needs to be taken by the Board with regard to issues relating to Lake Orange. Orange- Alamance Corporation needs to address those issues relating to Corporation Lake and the Town of Hillsborough needs to address those issues relating to Lake Ben JohnsonJJ In answer to a concern from Commissioner Marshall, Thompson indicated that raising Lake Orange two feet would not have any impact on the property in that !area. Commissioner Marshall stressed the need for a task force with representatives from °NASA, Orange-Alamtiance, Orange County and Hillsborough to review the recommendations in the report and take into account what DEM may decide at their meeting in December and come up with a short range proposal. Thompson clarified that at the present time 2.2 million gallons is available with 10 being used leaving 300,000 as the excess capacity per day. With modifications as outlined in the report, a total capacity of 3.5 or 4 million gallons per day would be available.
