~a 4. Forestry Provisicns While the pending House Bill 1172 would strip away the few opportunities that Iccal governments currently have in engaging the forestry community in dialogue about promoting good forestry and notification of forest management activities, this provisions have been identified as important and the Board may wish to reiterate support for these measures, regardless of the outcome of the pending legislative bill. 5. Feasibility Study for Existing Development Non-Point Source Strategy One of the most substantial undertakings (and highest potential financial implications) of the proposed rules relates to the provisions requiring upfits and retrofits to existing stormwater control measures. While the impacts on Orange County jurisdiction (the Rural Buffer and other rural areas) would appear to be less significant, this is a matter of great concern to the more-urban and densely- populatedjurisdictions. Some of the jurisdictions would like to propose a feasibility study for this component of the proposed rules to gauge whether such retrofits could be accomplished, and if pursued, how much of an impact they would have on the nutrient loading to the lake, 6. Phase II NPDES and Orange County Jurisdiction /Scope of Application for stormwater Rules It is still uncertain whether or not Orange County will be required to participate in the Phase II NPDES stormwater program in general, or as a result of the Jordan Lake TMDL and Nutrient Management Strategy. This may be a matter for further discussion.
