Orange County requests that the applicant consider Orange <br /> County's proposed recordation of up to four (4) 30-ft wide public <br /> sanitary sewer easements as shown on the attached redlines. See <br /> Attachment 1. This accommodation would allow for potential future <br /> public sewer service to multiple private tracts that are located <br /> adjacent to the Project. <br /> ii. The Project is located within the Upper Eno Protected Watershed <br /> Zoning Overlay District (Neuse River Basin), as zoned by Orange <br /> County, and within an area classified as a High Quality Water <br /> (HQW), as zoned by the State of North Carolina. Orange County <br /> and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality <br /> (NCDEQ) will review the Project for compliance with applicable <br /> Orange County and State standards, as formal site development <br /> plans are finalized and submitted. <br /> b. WATER: <br /> i. Public water service will likely be provided by Orange Alamance <br /> Water System (OAWS). This statement shall in no way be <br /> interpreted as a final determination by Orange County or OAWS to <br /> serve the Project with public water. <br /> ii. OAWS staff has informally notified Orange County Engineering <br /> staff that OAWS has available water capacity based on the <br /> evaluation of a DRAFT sanitary sewer capacity summary (average <br /> daily demand) of 76,421 gallons per day (GPD) as provided to <br /> Orange County by the applicant on September 1, 2020. However, <br /> OAWS has not yet formally confirmed with Orange County <br /> Engineering staff an ability to serve the Project with public water. <br /> Orange County Engineering staff is not aware of any detailed water <br /> demand data received by Orange County to date. <br /> iii. So as to prevent a potentially negative impact to available public <br /> water capacity within the regional water service area, Orange <br /> County Engineering staff recommends a reassessment of proposed <br /> water demands via the incorporation of low-flow water fixtures <br /> and/or lower-flow end users throughout the Project, where feasible. <br /> iv. If updated water demand data are available, applicant shall provide <br /> them to Orange County, specifically so that OAWS may further <br /> evaluate their available water capacity and their desire to serve the <br /> Project with public water. <br /> v. Provide additional information on the proposed dead-end water line <br /> near the intersection of Ben Johnston Road on the east side of the <br /> Project. It appears that the proposed water line will exist as a dead <br /> end throughout both phases of the Project. Applicant shall ensure <br />
