processing schedule for projects with Orange County planning jurisdiction and Town of Hillsborough water and sewer service area. Attachment 4a -Reservation of Utility Capacity for Review Purposes Checklist Attachment 4b -Utility Options Matrix Attachment 4c -- Revised Agreement 5. Eno River Capacity Use Agreement The Eno River Capacity Use Agreement has operated with very little modification in operational procedures over the fourteen years since it was initially created. However, there is a least some sentiment to revise both the Capacity Use Agreement and the Orange County and Hillsborough Water Use/Drought Management Ordinances to reflect changing conditions such as the availability of water from Hillsborough's West Fork Reservoir, the use of large quantities of water from upstream -turf farm -users, and the dissatisfaction of property owners around Lake Orange with the aesthetic and recreational consequences of the drastic season draw down of the water level in Lake Orange. Copies of Hillsborough's draft or suggested Water Use Restriction Stages modifications as well as a comparison between the existing and proposed water restrictions are attached. The County will be proposing land use changes in the Upper Eno Basin that will improve water quality. This is consistent with the Upper Neuse River Basin Association goals of addressing water quality from both environmental and potable water resource aspects. The County would like support from Hillsborough in the achievement of these goals. Attachment 5a -Suggested Water Restriction Stages Attachment 5b -Table -Hillsborough Water Restrictions Comparison 6. Building and Erosion Control/Stormwater Service Agreement Orange County and Town of Hillsborough have informally agreed over the years (1979 and 1981) that the County will perform Building and Erosion Control services for the Town of Hillsborough within their town limits and Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. The regulatory and responsibility realms have dramatically changed over the years and preliminary discussions have begun between both administration staffs to formalize the agreements. In addition, as the County considers enhanced options in building, erosion control, stormwater and Neuse River Rule areas, it would be a benefit to our joint customers to know if all of the rules are the same or if some are excluded. A draft agreement was forwarded from the Planning and Inspections Department to the Town of Hillsborough for review. Adoption of such an agreement will clarify services and associated regulations and, as important, assist in the planning of personnel, operating and capital needs to be able to provide the level and scope of review and inspection in a growing community. Administration and legal staffs can further review the agreement and distribute for review an updated draft in the near future. No Attachments
