The EMC has also <br />proposed preliminary classifications for each of Orange County's 11 <br />water supply watersheds. <br />On August 15, 1991, the EMC will conduct one of six regional <br />public hearings for local governments and interested citizens to <br />comment on proposed watershed classifications and adopted <br />development standards applicable in each type of watershed. The <br />public hearing will be held at 7:00 p.m. at the Archdale Building <br />in Raleigh, N.C. Recently adopted legislation in the General <br />Assembly will delay the classification and implementation process, <br />but the public hearing may be the only opportunity to request <br />different watershed classifications than those proposed. <br />Although the public hearing is being held on August 15, <br />written comments will be accepted by the EMC through September 30, <br />1991. Thus, the Board of Commissioners would like to receive <br />comment on the watershed classifications as proposed by the EMC: <br />
