• FY 2001-2002 FY 1999 2000 f <br /> ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> DRAFT APPROVED GOAL <br /> Adopted: !066121199 <br /> Rc e'ised: 0511 1 00 <br /> Revised: 11/20/00 <br /> WATER RESOURCE QUANTITY AND QUALITY V <br /> GOAL STATEMENT: Develop a long-range study and planning process to identify and address the impacts of various land uses and <br /> waste treatment options on the quantity and quality of the ground and surface water resources of Orange County, so that these impacts can be <br /> factored into long-term planning <br /> Goal Initiated/Proposed By: Board of County Commissioners <br /> Most Recent Version Adopted by BOCC: June, 1999 <br /> STATUS REPORT V <br /> This initiative represents an objective first included among the Commissioners'goals for FY 1993-94.A Water Resources Committee was formed in 1993 <br /> to oversee work in this area. Currently,the project is in the final year of a three-year Ground Water Resource Investigation in conjunction with the U.S. <br /> Geological Survey. Phase I of this investigation,a report on ground water recharge rates in the county,was completed in October, 1996.Data collection is <br /> a continuing part of the project,with all new wells and septic tanks in the county accurately located with GPS(Global Positioning System)receivers.This <br /> data resource allows for GIS mapping and coverages which can be overlain for presentation and analysis,a version of which was presented to the Board in <br /> December 1998.Public education initiatives are also an important part of the project. A new service for County citizens,the Ground Water Center,began <br /> operation in July, 1996.Housed in the Soil and Water District office,the Ground Water Center answers or forward citizen inquiries and questions about <br /> ground water issues.As per the adopted goal,the responsibilities for the final stages of the Water Resources project will transition into the Commission for <br /> the Environment in the spring of 2001. .The Water Resources Committee will issue a report summarizing its findings and <br /> the implications of the USGS report in February,2001.The Water Committee of the Commission for the Environment will then oversee the integration of <br /> ground water and surface water plans into the Water Resources Element of the Comprehensive Plan,as currently proposed. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT/RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS <br /> All activities in this project are funded through a special project budget,and all of the funds to complete the project have been allocated.Future costs <br /> of ongoing work related to the project are incorporated into the Environment and Resource Conservation Department budget.Completion of this <br /> goal will involve the following continuing commitment of existing staff resources from multiple departments: from ERCD,the ERC Director,Resource <br /> Conservation Technician,and ERC Administrative Assistant.Additional assistance is provided from the County Engineer,Soil and Water Conservationist, <br /> Environmental Health Supervisor,and Cooperative Extension(Neuse River agent)as part of this project. <br />
