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 proposed 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 Zouf aly, DEM, P.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 lakets <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 />k le <br />_3 <br />ram <br />- 1%L_C - <br />/f3 <br />Al [. a %k V3 X&3 -1 <br />I?Ay3 <br />
