6 (those more than 15%) . There are 1230 acres in flood prone areas and 470 acres with steep slopes in the Resource Protection Area, representing a total of 1700 acres (6% of the Township) . The arterial and collector road system serving the township has also been identified. The arterials include NC 57 and 157. Collectors include Guess Road, New Sharon Church Road, Schley Road and Little River Church Road. The road classifications have been shown because they serve as a guide in determining the location of Activity Nodes and Rural Residential Areas. Little River Township lies in two water supply watersheds. The northern part of the Township lies in the Flat River Watershed which flows to Lake Michie, the primary water supply for the City of Durham. The southern 80% of the Township lies in the Little River drainage basin which flows into the Little River Reservoir in Durham County. Bell indicated that Mr. Tom Bruce of the Water Resources Department for the City of Durham was available to address this item in more detail later in the meeting. Activity Nodes are the same as 1981 except for Harris Crossroads. A project that has generated a great deal of discussion and concern is Treyburn in north central Durham County. It is a 5200 acre mixed-use development. Over the next 20 - 25 years, a range of 20, 000 to 40, 000 jobs in Treyburn has been estimated. Approximately 4000 dwelling units are also proposed as part of Treyburn. The only use currently under construction at Treyburn is the Organon Teknika Plant to be fully operational by early 1988. It will initially employ 400 - 500 people and by 1998 should have around 2000 employees. Construction is just beginning on the first 60 residential units which are on 80, 000 square foot lots with public water and sewer. Durham Research Properties estimates that ten years from now all residential development at Treyburn will be completed and there will be 10, 000 - 15, 000 jobs. Further development at Treyburn is contingent upon upgrading the Eno Waste Treatment Plant. The current capacity is 2.5 MGD. If all improvements stay on schedule, a 10 MGD plant could be on line in 1991. The plant is currently the subject of an environmental impact statement, thus the 1991 date might not be correct. The best source for determining where residential demand generated by Treyburn will be strongest is the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Kimley-Horn & Associates of Raleigh. Their projections for traffic into and out of Treyburn are: north 20%, south 55%, east 10% and west 15%.
