63 Kimley>>>Horn Page 20 See Attachment 1. This accommodation would allow for potential future public sewer service to multiple private tracts that are located adjacent to the Project. Response: Four easements are now provided to allow future public sewer service to private tracts adjacent to the project. Refer to Sheet C4.0 (Water and Sewer Map) for details. ii. The Project is located within the Upper Eno Protected Watershed Zoning Overlay District(Neuse River Basin), as zoned by Orange County, and within an area classified as a High-Quality Water (HQW), as zoned by the State of North Carolina. Orange County and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) will review the Project for compliance with applicable Orange County and State standards, as formal site development plans are finalized and submitted. Response: Comment noted. We will comply with the land area disturbance limitation required by the HQW.We are working with Orange County and the state of North Carolina to identify the best approach to abide by the requirements. B. Water: i. Public water service will likely be provided by Orange Alamance Water System (OAWS). This statement shall in no way be interpreted as a final determination by Orange County or OAWS to serve the Project with public water. Response: Comment noted. Kimley-Horn is working to schedule meetings with Orange Alamance Water to discuss the improvements necessary for connection to existing water and sewer near the site. ii. OAWS staff has informally notified Orange County Engineering staff that OAWS has available water capacity based on the evaluation of a DRAFT sanitary sewer capacity summary (average daily demand) of 76,421 gallons per day (GPD) as provided to Orange County by the applicant on September 1, 2020, However, OAWS has not yet formally confirmed with Orange County Engineering staff an ability to serve the Project with public water. Orange County Engineering staff is not aware of any detailed water demand data received by Orange County to date. Response: Comment noted. Additional information on anticipated flows is now provided within the Narrative and the Rezoning Plan. iii. So as to prevent a potentially negative impact to available public water capacity within the regional water service area, Orange County Engineering staff recommends a reassessment of proposed water demands via the incorporation of low-flow water fixtures and/or lower-flow end users throughout the Project, where feasible. Response: The use of low flow water fixtures will be considered as part of the discussions with OAWS to ensure that the available water capacity is taken into account when necessary infrastructure improvements are designed and constructed. iv. If updated water demand data are available, applicant shall provide them to Orange County, specifically so that OAWS may further evaluate their available water capacity and their desire to serve the Project with public water. Response: Comment noted. Additional information on anticipated demands is now provided within the Narrative and the Rezoning Plan. v. Provide additional information on the proposed dead-end waterline near the intersection of Ben Johnston Road on the east side of the Project. It appears that the proposed water line will exist i i kimley-horn.com 300 Morris Street, Suite 200, Durham, NC 27701 • .:
