Agenda Text
The Board is requested to adopt a resolution of support for reclassifying a segment of the Eno River for Water Supply in Durham County, North Carolina.
Summary. Teer Quarry, owned by the City of Durham, is critical for meeting the City’s emergency water supply needs. A new water supply intake, located on the Eno River, is necessary to use Teer Quarry as a water supply source. The location of the new water intake will require changes to the Eno-A (E-A) and Eno-B (E-B) watershed protection zoning overlay districts, which Planning staff will initiate later this year.
