WATERSHED REGULATIONS AND RECLASSIFICATION <br />STATEWIDE HEARINGS - AUGUST 1991 <br />The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission and the <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners will conduct_hearings'pursuant <br />to HB 156 - the 1989 Watershed Protection Act. <br />The EMC is receiving comments about the propos- ed.statewide reclassi- <br />fication of water "supply sources and changes to statewide minimum <br />regulations adopted in December, 1990. A public hearing was held <br />August 15th in Raleigh; written comments will be accepted through <br />October 31st: Steve Zoufaly, DEM, F.O.Box 29535, Raleigh, N.C. - 27626. <br />The Orange County Board of Commissioners will receive citizen comment <br />regarding the County's response to the EMC during a public hearing <br />scheduled for Monday, August 26, 7:30 pm, New County Courthouse, <br />Hillsborough. <br />We support the proposed WS -II classification of University <br />Lake and Cane Creek watersheds. <br />We support recognition of the entire University Lake Watershed <br />as a critical area, as documented by the CDM study. Due to this lake's <br />special vulnerability, such a statewide designation would help ensure <br />that the presently strong University Lake program is not weakened by <br />local actions in the future. <br />We ask the Orange County Board of Commissioners to support these regu- <br />lations and urge that they be included in the Board's comments to EMC. <br />19 <br />%L' <br />73-10 <br />L 71-/a <br />
