I will need to receive an invoice from the Aquatic Weed Control <br /> Program for this amount by early May 2015. We also anticipate allocating similar <br /> funding to this project in early 2016 (FY 2015-16) and late 2016 (FY 2016-17). <br /> We may need to prepare a contract for Orange County's contribution of funds to this <br /> project. If so we will share a draft contract with you to review in advance. <br /> Thank you for your participation on the task force working to evaluate and address the <br /> problems with hydrilla in the Eno River. <br /> r, <br /> w <br /> Land Conservation Manager <br /> cc: Tom Davis <br /> NATURAL RAL and CULTURAL RESOURCES DIVISION <br /> Orange County Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks&Recreation <br /> PO Box 8181, Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Phone: (919) 245-2510 Fax: (919) 644-3351 <br />
