25 <br /> Commissioner Bedford as alternate. At the November 18 UNRBA Board meeting, each delegate <br /> will be asked to participate in an initial vote to indicate intent to participate in the program <br /> beginning in FY 2021-22. (Formal approval and action would come in 2021). <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: The IAIA program is based on the organization's cost-share basis, which <br /> reflects a combination of water usage from the Lake and the amount of watershed area in the <br /> jurisdiction. The annual commitment for funding participation in the IAIA for Orange County is <br /> $161,943 per year, anticipated to continue through FY 2024-25. This is based on the <br /> participation of 12 jurisdictions that have indicated to date an interest in participating at the staff <br /> level. <br /> This contrasts to the projected cost of Orange County's requirement to develop its own <br /> individual program for Rules implementation, expected to be in the millions of dollars each year, <br /> depending on the actual jurisdictional loading rate. Phase I compliance without the IAIA would <br /> require installation of nutrient removing measures in direct relation to Orange County's prior <br /> nutrient loading. In other words, the County would need to install enough nutrient-reducing <br /> ponds or similar SCMs to compensate for the amount of Nitrogen and Phosphorus added to the <br /> Lake from Orange County between 2006 and 2012. Some estimates have projected the total <br /> cost of this individual program to be approximately $46 million for Orange County. <br /> Based on the development of the IAIA over the last few years, the current Capital Investment <br /> Plan or CIP (and the proposed FY 2020-25 CIP) includes a Falls Lake Nutrient Management <br /> Strategy item that allocates $175,000 per year during the years of the IAIA implementation. This <br /> funding would begin in FY 2021-22. In addition, some of the work and funds of the Lands <br /> Legacy program in the Falls Lake watershed will also count toward the funding commitment. <br /> This model approach, if successful, may be used in the future phase of the Rules, resulting in <br /> considerable cost savings to the County and all jurisdictions. <br /> David Stancil made the following PowerPoint presentation: <br /> Slide #1 <br /> ,,, <br /> MKbg M"" <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> Interim Alternative <br /> Implementation Approach <br /> Upper Neuse River Basin Association <br /> November 5,Z020 <br /> Slide #2 <br /> What is the Upper Neuse River <br /> Basin Association (UNRBA)? <br /> Ora nga County was a <br /> N Founding member of <br /> the UNRBA,created in <br /> the 1996's to <br /> coordinate mandatory <br /> watershed protection <br /> �. efforts among the <br /> ®`L� Jurisdictions of the <br /> i`. <br /> Falls Lake watershed. <br />
