006 Included in the agenda packet is a brochure distributed to local farmers by the State about ways to protect the riparian buffer and adopting best management practices of buffer requirements . The second item for change for the county in relation to watersheds is that because of the new Upper Neuse rules the Town of Hillsborough and the eastern fringe of Hillsborough are likely to be designated as a water supply watershed area, to allow enforcement of the new standards adopted to deal with stream buffers , runoff, and storm water controls . The existing lower Eno rules come from a protected water supply intake on the Eno River by , Durham, with a ten-mile radius from that point which takes in part of Orange County . Future development in Hillsborough may need to address water supply measures . Previous County policy has been to use non- structural land use and stream buffer controls in some type of minimum lot size . The CFE asked staff to draft a resolution recommending that the County join the Upper Neuse River Basin Association and begin planning for extending watershed standards throughout the Eno basin, to be presented at the next meeting . X.
