Lake Orange Dam Rehabilitation <br />Project Category:Lake Orange Project Status:New Project Type <br />Functional Service <br />Area:Community Services Proposed Bid <br />Award Date:TBD New <br />Department:Planning and <br />Inspections Starting Date:07/01/19 Expansion <br />Project Number:New Completion Date:06/30/24 Renovation X <br />Replacement <br />Project Description / Justification: : Lake Orange is a Class <br />II (WS-II) public water supply reservior owned by Orange County. <br />The lake was built in 1968 via construction of an earthen dam and <br />concrete spillway across the east fork of the Eno River. The <br />lake’s primary uses are public water supply as designated by <br />NCDEQ and maintenance of minimum (dry weather) flows in the <br />Eno River, as defined within the Eno River Water Management <br />Plan (a.k.a. the Eno River Capacity Use Agreement). Secondary <br />uses of the lake include private recreation and fishing. The Lake <br />Orange dam was classified by NCDEQ as a “High Hazard” dam in <br />August 2011, meaning that failure of the dam could result in <br />severe property damage and/or possible loss of life downstream. <br />In Fall 2018, NCDEQ and a private engineering firm conducted dam inspections that identified numerous <br />deficiences, primarily due to the age of this 52-year old structure. This project would begin a multi-year approach to <br />repair these deficiencies, addressing high priority in FY2019-20 and FY2020-21. These projects will include <br />blasting and painting the intake tower beams and gate actuators and replacing the concrete expansion joints and <br />sluice gate. <br />FINANCIAL SUMMARY <br />Current Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Five Year 6 <br />Prior Years Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Year to <br />Project Budget Funding 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 2021-22 2022-23 2023-24 Total Year 10 <br />Appropriation <br /> Land/Building -$ <br /> Professional Services 5,000$ 20,000$ 15,000$ 270,000$ 310,000$ <br /> Construction/Repairs/Renovations 90,000$ 100,000$ 80,000$ 1,800,000$ 2,070,000$ <br /> Equipment/Furnishings -$ <br /> Project Management 7,500$ 7,500$ 100,000$ 115,000$ <br /> Total Project Budget:-$-$ 95,000$ 127,500$ 102,500$ 270,000$ 1,900,000$ 2,495,000$-$ <br />Revenues/Funding Source <br /> Transfer From General Fund <br /> Medicaid Maximization Funds <br /> Debt Financing - County Debt Service 95,000$ 127,500$ 102,500$ 270,000$ 1,900,000$ 2,495,000$-$ <br /> Total -$-$ 95,000$ 127,500$ 102,500$ 270,000$ 1,900,000$ 2,495,000$-$ <br />Impact on Operating Budget <br /> Personnel Services -$ <br /> Operations -$ <br /> Recurring Capital <br /> New/Addl Revenue -$ <br /> Total Net Operating Costs/(Surplus) -$-$-$-$-$-$-$-$ <br />42
