J. <br />MODEL LETTER <br />September ,1990 <br />William Cobey, Secretary <br />Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources <br />P.O. Box 27687 <br />Raleigh, NC 27611 <br />Dear Secretary Cobey: <br />I am writing to support the Triangle J Council of Governments` proposal to conduct a feasibility <br />analysis for water conservation and reuse in the TJCOG region as a part of its Long -range Wastewater <br />Management Plan and as a part of your 205(J) Program. <br />The need for this project is clear and immediate. The Region finds itself at a planning crossroad with <br />many of our plants (about 60%) reaching their capacity to treat more waste and many of our streams <br />reaching their capacity to assimilate more pollution. Since current investments are often stepping stones <br />to the next phase of capital improvements, we need to be able to determine now what the future <br />potential is for water reuse and conservation in our communitbs. <br />A <br />If the potential to reduce wastewater discharges through water conservation and reuse is significant for <br />= communites, it will be significant for many communbCs in Noah C=fina. Part of TJCOG's <br />proposal is to conduct a workshop for water resource managers and policy makers state-wide about <br />conservation and reuse issues. If the potential is significant now , we need to begin working now to <br />develop State legislation to guide safe, efficient conservation and reuse of water. <br />Triangle J has a proven track record for providing leadership and vision on our region's and our <br />State's water management issues. I hope your Department wi <br />tion and reuse through the 205(J) Program. ll support Triangle J's efforts in conserva- <br />Sincerely, <br />
