040 <br /> Synopsis of Comments <br /> G 1 Water Supp <br /> P rovide oal -clean end safly <br /> e water supplies available and adequate to <br /> meet the future needs of the residents of Orange County. <br /> B. Watershed Protection Policies (Draft Policju) <br /> (See Preceding Page) <br /> Orange Water & Sewer Authority <br /> B. Watershed _Protection Policies <br /> • Watershed protection efforts should apply to all existing and proposed <br /> water supply watersheds as well as prime reservoir watersheds under <br /> consideration. Consistent standards should be applied throughout the <br /> County and consideration should be given to requesting the Lake Orange <br /> watershed to the WS-/ classification. <br /> 2. The phrase "on a large population of the land area" should be clarified. <br /> 3. This is supported by ONASA. Existing watershed standards and policies <br /> should also be thoroughly evaluated to assure their effectiveness in <br /> accomplishing water quality protection and supply objectives. Watershed <br /> protection policies and standards should be technically-sound and legally <br /> defensible. O ,SA'.s comprehensive watershed study will provide <br /> recommendations relative to water quality protection standaras for the <br /> University Lake watershed. <br /> 4. This is supported by NASA. <br /> : 5. This is supported by OWASA. In fact, &ASA provides financial assistance <br /> to agricultural operators completing soil and water conservation <br /> improvements within the University Lake and Cane Creek Reservoir <br /> watersheds. ' <br /> 6. The suggested water quality monitoring program within the County will <br /> require an extensive commitment of financial and staff resources. <br /> Existing watershed sampling programs of 005A and other agencies should <br /> not be duplicated. The draft policy recommends that Orange County <br /> establish an on-site wastewater treatment inspection program within <br /> portions of water supply watersheds designated as water quality critical <br /> areas. Given the potentially serious impacts of a system malfunction, <br /> there is a need for an improved management approach to all on-site and <br /> cluster wastewater disposal systems and water supply systems in the <br /> region, not just within water quality critical areas. The recommended <br /> establishment of an on-site wastewater treatment system inspection program <br /> will require additional staff with technical expertise in, alternative <br /> wastewater system design, installation and operation. <br /> • This section should also address protection of water quality of all <br /> streams in the County which are tributary to regional water supply <br /> resources, such as Jordan Lake and Falls of the Neuse Reservoir. <br /> 1 -B-2 <br />
