b) Coordinating Releases/Withdrawals from West Fork and Lake Orange <br />Reservoirs <br />Since the drought of 2002, the BOCC and residents of the Lake Orange communities have <br />expressed a desire to develop a methodology for coordinating flow releases from Lake Orange <br />and Hillsborough's West Fork reservoir that avoids completely draining Lake Orange while <br />allowing the West Fork reservoir to remain full or nearly so. However, stipulations of the Eno <br />River Capacity Use Agreement tie water allocations (for Hillsborough, Orange Alamance, <br />Piedmont Minerals and in- stream flow) to water levels at Lake Orange. Any modification to <br />release procedures will require major technical modifications to the Capacity Use Agreement as <br />well as developing supplemental agreements as to ownership of the water in both reservoirs. <br />No Attachments <br />4.
