The recent 10 -year report from the NHCCAC calls for increased riparian protection efforts along the upper reaches of New Hope Creek ( upstream of the Johnston Mill Preserve ) . Also , the TLC report, Rating Land in Orange County for its Wildlife Value ( 1999 ) , identified this area as containing some substantial areas of less fragmented hardwood forest . The CfE 's State of the .Environment Report 2000 , also identifies the headwaters of New Hope Creek and central County uplands , as priorities for protection . Kohorn noted that more generally , the BRC feels that all opportunities for protection of riparian habitats throughout the county should be seriously considered , for both biological protection , as well as for improvement of water quality . Conservation opportunities outside of the above recommendations should not be excluded from consideration . The CfE discussed the above recommendations in regard to what locations would be considered short - term versus long - term projects . MOTION : Kohorn made motioned to approve the recommendations as stated for compilation with other advisory boards recommendations for submittal to the BOCC . Seconded by Okun . VOTE : Unanimous . VI . Draft AFLEV Report Stancil reported on the draft report on alternative vehicle options from the Alternative Fuel and Low Emission Vehicles ( AFLEV ) Work Group . He noted that the work group was following up on resolutions adopted by BOCC in 1999 . Those resolutions directed staff to begin an Ozone Air Quality Action Plan , to investigate low emission and fuel - efficient vehicles , and to examine the purchase of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs ) as an option for county fleet emissions reduction . The AFLEV Work Group was established to lead the investigation of these latter issues and to propose an action plan , which includes the potential purchase of a number of AFVs .
