Draft <br /> 4/ 28/ 99 <br /> Both OWASA -owned Cane Creek Reservoir lands and University <br /> Lake (which is leased from UNC) are unique recreational <br /> locations in the County. These combined areas represent <br /> nearly 2, 000 acres within southwestern Orange County. As <br /> some of the only forma/ locations with boating, fishing, and <br /> canoeing in the County, these areas represent recreational <br /> opportunities the County is interested in maintaining. <br /> Partnerships with the Authority are avenues for encouraging <br /> the provision of recreational opportunities on OWASA lands. <br /> Opportunities appear to exist for local governments to work <br /> with OWASA . In particular, local governments may be <br /> interested in discussing with OWASA long-term scenarios for <br /> some lands, including mitigation lands acquired during the <br /> building of Cane Creek Reservoir. The OWASA Board of <br /> Directors has asked the local governments that requests <br /> regarding recreation use be made on specific parcels (please <br /> see Appendix H) , OWASWs primary objective of water quality <br /> protection will determine their policy decisions regarding <br /> appropriate intensity of use on specific holdings. In addition, <br /> OWASA has acquisition plans for nearly 1300 new acres in the <br /> Cane Creek watershed, which may offer another potential <br /> opportunity for partnership with local governments for the <br /> provision of passive recreation . <br /> G .

Ensuring Recreation Needs Are Met <br /> In Section II of this document, recreation needs have been <br /> identified for each of the jurisdictions within Orange County, <br /> using previous works and new assessments. While there are <br /> some differences between the jurisdictions, in general the <br /> needs fall into the following major categories: <br /> • Acquisition and development of greenways or trails <br /> • School/park combinations <br /> • Active recreation facilities and/or gymnasiums <br /> 19 <br />
