That the Board of Commissioners requests that members of the <br />Surface Water Study Committee and legislators representing Orange <br />County oppose adoption of the draft legislation, and <br />2. That the Board requests that the legislature review state water <br />law comprehensively and revise it as needed so as to bring consistency <br />to its parts, to ensure that the capacities of streams and lakes are <br />respected, and to encourage the efficient use of water supply <br />resources for the benefit of all North Carolina citizens. <br />Adopted this 5th day of November, 1990. <br />Moses Carey, Chair <br />;,�.'�`l <br />
