Halkiotis 688-7331 <br /> Verla C. Insko 227-2031 <br /> Don Willhoit 644-3004 (Fax) <br /> September 20, 1993 <br /> Mary Cates, Vice Chair <br /> Triangle J Council of Governments <br /> 100 Park Drive, PO Box 12276 <br /> Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 <br /> Dear Ms. Cates: <br /> At its meeting on August 17, 1993 , the Orange County Board of <br /> Commissioners considered the concepts proposed by the Falls Lake <br /> Workgroup concerning the water quality within the Lake and offers <br /> the following comment: <br /> 1. The Board supports, in concept, a focused study that <br /> would recommend best management practices for the <br /> protection of Falls Lake Watershed, distributed regional <br /> economic development activities to minimize density in <br /> critical watershed areas and the concept of equity -- <br /> that the beneficial users of the water should assist in <br /> putting in the watershed protection measures. <br /> 2 . The Board supports the idea of a management program for <br /> the Falls Lake Watershed that would: <br /> - track development and other activities that pose a <br /> risk to water quality; <br /> - monitor water quality in the lake and pollution <br /> loads from selected tributaries; <br /> - conduct investigations and assessment of activities <br /> that discharge pollution or pose a threat of <br /> thrills; and <br /> - report findings to participating units of <br /> government. <br /> YOU COUNT IN ORANGE COUNTY <br />
