Mr. Rose noted that Carrboro would have no problem adopting the Ordinance exemptions. Commissioner Marshall suggested adopting the Ordinance pending review and approval by the state; if the State recommends revisions, the Ordin- nance will be amended at that time.

LuE.e'PXAnOr-8mAa.geo14Bmt Plan Commissioner Willhoit noted that tbe State proposed a conservation model to provide for the aquatic environment as well as provide for the needs of the three water systems. The State suggested that the Board survey Lake Orange to determine if the stage storage curve is accurate and inform them anoozGinqly, It was suggested that Orange-Alamaooe and the Town of Hillsborough Boards provide feedback to the County on concepts of the plan. Commissioner Willhoit stated that on October 7, 1983, the data pre- sented indicated that provided the State curve is correct, Lake Orange was down approximately 65% of capacity. As of October 18, 1983, Lake Orange was down 57 inches, which is an additional nine inches since october 7, 1983. Commissioner Willhoit noted cause for concern; the water level is down approximately 56% of capacity; and the State's plan now calls for voluntary conservation; and the Orange-alamaooe system has not yet responded. Tentative action, because the water in Lake Orange in falling rapidly, needs to be taken. Commissioner Lloyd noted that Orange-Alamance is in full cooperation with the plan and the Board will be meeting in the next few days to take action relative to conservation measures.
