Areas <br />near Hillsborough and areas in the vicinity of I -$5 and Highway 70 provide a mix of <br />higher density residential and commercial use. <br />The Lower Eno Watershed is not designated as a protected watershed by Orange County <br />as this time, although stream buffers and stormwater controls are applied through the <br />County Subdivision Regulations <br />b) Reservoir /Intake Sites <br />There is no reservoir site associated with the watershed. The basin is classified as a <br />watershed on the basis of the City of Durham's emergency water intake on the Eno River <br />east of US 501 (Roxboro Road). The protected area for this watershed extends 10 miles <br />from the intake point. <br />c) Affected Jurisdictions <br />Orange County, Durham County, and Durham City contain area within the watershed. <br />13 <br />
