NAME OF PROJECT AREA: Back Creek Reservoir Watershed '
Critical Area Treatment
CbUNTY: Or~ ange

~~~.
1. Project Descri Lion
The Back Greek Reservoir Watershed Critical Area Treatment project will
encourage both local small farmers and urban citizens to carry out an effective
conservation and environmental program that will benefit everyone. Improvement
-of water quality, as well as protecting land resource base are the principal
objectives of this project.
Presently in this watershed, is the Quaker Creek Reservoir which is used
as a municipal water supply. A severe sedimentation problem exists in this
---.-- reservair.today..._.This reservoir_wi11 soon be enlarged,.and if the problem is _. -
-.`• severe now, we are sure that the problem will become greater unless we stabilize -.
sediment producing areas.
If these proposed measures are carried out, not only will farm productivity
be increased, but the economic and environmental conditions for everyone wil l
be improved. This can only be accomplished. through a joint cooperative effort
of all.
-.- - .- In._1978}.:the_US_Department .of Agriculture approved funding for the North
Central Piedmont Resource Conservation and Development Project in the Back
Creek Watershed. This RC&D Project is a-joint venture of both Alamance and
Orange Gounties. Back Creek Watershed consists of 42,496 acres. Forty percent,
or 17,000 + acres, is in Orange County and 60 percent, or 25,000 + acres, in
Alamance County. -
Alamance County received approval fora special ACP demonstration project
in 1978. In order to effectively carry out the needs of all farmers in this
__
;. T-..
~~~
watershed area, we are requesting special funds to expand the conservation work
in this area.
2. Descri tion af.Area .
The area is located in the northwestern section of Orange County and
consists of 17,000 + acres. '(See attached map) There are 202 farms affected
by this project. Of this total; 35% are classified as small farms. We estimate
that over 25% of the population is this watershed is black.. We also estimate
that 45~ of the population of the rural-urban area is of low income economic
status. There are 168 tobacco farmers in this watershed which is 83% of the
total number of farms.. Most tobacco farmers also raise some grain and livestock
to supplement their income. In addition to the lfi8 tobacco farms, there is one
large dairy farm, 11 grain farms, and 22 other miscellaneous types of farming
in this area. -
3. Water: Quality Problems and Major Sources of Pollution
The tapograpliy~ varies from gently sloping to strongly sloping. The
predominating soils in this area are Appling sandy loam, Helena sandy loam,
Georgeville silt loam, and Herndon silt loam. All these soils are highly
erosive, and when they are not properly stabilized, they produce sediment at
-~- alarming rates. All. soils are used extensively for the production of tobacco,
which is historically a major source of sediment in the absence of conservation
practices. The soils in the watershed are generally well suited for the
production of all crops commonly grown in this area.`
! A sediment survey made by the Soil Conservation Service indicates that
the Back Creek Reservoir wi17 fill with sediment at a rate of 61,000 tons per
year if the critical sediment-producing areas in the Back Creek Watershed are
not effectively controlled.
13'~
Erosion can be significantly reduced and the quality of the water improved
6y accelerating the installation of conservation practices. If additional funds
are made available from the ACP program aside from what will be obtained from
RC&D funds, then acceleration will be greatly increased and more conservation
.practices will be applied in a shorter period of time. -
4. Relationshi Between the A lication and 208 Plannin
This watershed area is included in both the Regional and the State 208
planning ,area. There has been no monitoring in this particular area under the
20$ study. However, as previously noted, a sediment survey was conducted in 1977
- by the Soil Conservation Service in this watershed. In addition, the USDA
periodically conducts a conservation needs inventory. 5o we do have current
information on the problems in this watershed.
5. Involvement of ASC5 and Other USDA A envies, Conservation Districtss and
_ Other A ricultural Interests in the 208 Process
c The Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, EPA, Soil and
Water Conservation Districts, Soil Conservation Service and many other Federal,
- -_-----State, and County governmental agencies are involved in the 208 planning
process.. In addition to the North Carolina 208 Statewide plan, the following
documents have been published:
-, 'Best Management Practices to CantroT Sediment and Other
- ~ Non-Point Source Pollution from Agricultural land in NC,"
as required by the NC 208 Water Quality Management plan.
"Conservation Districts and 208 Water Quality Management," -
pu6lished by the National Association of Conservation
Districts and U5 Environmental Protection Agency.
"Areawide Water Quality Management Planning 208 Pollution
Source Analysis," published by the Triangle J Council of
Governments. -

6. The Measures Needed, Estimated Cost, and Financial Plan for Accam lish
See attached table.
7. Potential for ACP to Assist in Gettin Needed Land Treatment Measures •_
Carrie Out -
The RC&D project is scheduled for 8 years, but the °ACP Special Fund,"
.part of the assistance could easily be handled on a 3-year basis. The total
funds requested is $171,730 and we feel that there should be a requirement that
all conservation practices must be installed in a period of one year or funds
would be obligated to someone e1 se.
8. USDA Technical Assistance and Other Funds or Pro rams that will be Used
tv Im lament the Project
=.~. :.-...,.~To meet.the objective of this project, farmers who want to be involved • .
. must be cooperators of the Orange 5oi1 and Water Conservation District. With
the assistance of all local agencies - ASCS, SCS, NCFS, Extension Service and
other loco] agencies, a conservation plan will be developed for the protection
and maintenance of all practices to be cost_shared. Farmers will be responsible
• ~ for performing operation and maintenance. After the conservation plan has been
developed, an operation and maintenance agreement will be entered into between
- -.•-~ the Orange Soil and Water Conservation District, ASC County Committee, and the
Cooperator.
~~Operations and maintenance work will normally include such actions as
annual application of fertilizer to maintain vegetative cover, replacement of
spot loss that endangers the installation, repairing fences, replanting trees,
clearing debris that affect operation of works of ~mpravement, sealing or
repairing structures to prevent deterioration, and reseeding or resodding to

a. Local Interest Toward Solvin the Water ualit Problems and How That
Level of nterest Was Determine
The Orange Conservation District held a Resource Conservation Act (RCA)
public meeting on August 28; 197$, at which time all environmental concerns
were discussed freely. This statement was made concerning water_quality: "What
conservation practices we install on our land determines the quality and quantity
of our water. We need to control our livestock waste, pesticides, herbicides,
and other pollutants to keep our water quality high." All local agencies
were involved in this public meeting and we feel much was accomplished. We
intend to follow up with additional public meetings. At this meeting we.
discussed the Back Creek Reservoir Watershed Critical Area Treatment Project
and received favorable comments. We explained that this project is the fore-
-- runner.of the 208 State plan. In addition, we have held two other public meetings
- to explain the Back Creek Project. These were held in the community buildings
at Cheeks Township and, Cedar Grave Township.
10. Additional Information Canserning the Project Potential, the_use of ACP
Funding in Solving the__Problems ~ '
An opportunity exists to use ACP special funds, RC&D funds and technical
services, ta.assist the sponsors in stabilizing the sediment producing areas,
-- -to prevent damage to fish and wildlife habitat, to conserve water and soil
-~.~,resources on valuable cropland, to improve water quality of Back Creek, and
to protect the water supply reservoir of the Town of Mebane and the City of
" Graham, North Carolina. Most of the sediment in the watershed is produced
by critically eroding roadsides and cropland that have excessive soil loss.
Overgrazed pasture and poor silvicultural practices also contribute to the
__ sediment production.
11. State of Endorsement from all Grou s
If special funding is approved for Orange County it will be administered
and supported by Orange ASC County Committee, Orange County Soil and Water
Conservation District, Orange County Commissioners, ASCS, Soil Conservation
Service, Agricultural Extension Service, NC Forest Service, Farmers Home
Administration, Central Production Credit Asscciation and mar1Y other local
agencies. This would be in addition to the supporters of the Back Creek .
Reservoir Watershed Critical Area Treatment Project in Alamance Ccunty.
We feel that the most.important group of all is the farmers. They
must be the ones that approve of this project for it to work 100 effectively.
This project is fully supported by the farmers. How can a project pf this

~+ Issue pA~~~
'Rxtension of Sewer and Water into Orange
County-along U. S. Route 70
Background_
s
The Department of Transpartatian.and Utilities of the City of Durham
has received a petition signed by nineteen property owners in Durham and
Orange Counties requesting water service. The petitioners own property
along Hillsborough Raad (U. 5. Route 70) and request extension of water
service from it's present stopping paint in Duxbam County near the pxaage •
County line across the County line a distance of some 3DD0 feet 5.nto l~;no - _
Township. -
. This is an area in which a number of mobile name parks axe S.aca.ted. •
Several of these have had problems with malfunctioning septic. systems and `
oNe of them, Brewer's Trailer Court, has been closed dawn by L•he Orange _
-:- County Health Department because of tontauxi.natiori of it`s water supply 8y
individual sewage disposal systems.
Durham has established by ordinance boundaries beyond. which it will •
not extend water service. In the area in question, trie boundax}*: is the
county line. Durham also has a policy af•not extending water. lines without
• also eventually extending sewer service to the same areas. The petitioning -
property owners have retained a lawyer and axe expected to bring their'
•, petition before the Durham City Council in the next: several weeks. Their
case might be strong enough to change current policy. 7t is.t_1~erefpxe ~ _
important far decision makeES in Orange County to foraulate a position on
this issue for consideration by Durham officials.
Plannning Issues
Prom a land use planning perspective, the petitioner's request raises
several issues. -
Health: There is a very real health.thxeat posed by cuxxene condit.-ions
San this area. According to Mr. Jerry Robinson, Orange County Health Depart--
meat Director, several residents of Bxewex's Trailer Court became ill Exam
.:.• drinking contaminated water to the point of being hospitalized The extension
of water service to this area would allow Brewer's Trailer Court to reopen
and insure that several other mobile house parks in the same area have a ,-
potable water supply. _ •
Future Land Use: Mx. Robert Peck, Direttox of the Transportation and
_ Utilities Department of the City of Durham has stated yin a letter to the
Orange County Planning Department that if water linos axe extended into the
area, it would be logical to provide sixteen inch mains so further future
extensions could be accomodated. '
Once these utilities were extended into Orange County, it is not clear
what a new logical boundary beyond which they should not be extended beyond
would be. Yxovision of these utilities to-the I-SS - 70. interchange would
open up that whole area to more intensive land use. The highway system
there would make it a logical area far the develapusent of commercial and
14~
r ~1
2 -
industrial uses. However, a_t a.s up to the people of Qrange County to decide
if that is what they want for. that area..
One major issue is the total. amount of land that a_s already zoned
commercial and special use mobile home. xtte water and sewer extension would
• eventually increase the,number of mobile homes and commerc~alJand uses Xn
the immediate area around U. S. 70.
Annexation: If the City of Durham provides water and sewer service
to the petitioner's area and perhaps beyond, then the posss~~vicest otishe
City of Durham will annex this area which it is providing ~ good trans-
raised. The area already has extensive commercial zoning _•
portation facilities and ha a the potential to attxact business that could
add to the tax base of Oran~'flounty. The issue then•is posssame services
this tax base to the City of purham if they start'provi-d~.ng
to the area and 'then decide to annex:
Environment: In 1972, the .Congress passed the Federathe nati.on'slwat rs.
Control Act Amendments with the objective of cleaning up
Under Section 201 of this Act, areas were requited to prepaxe a'facilities
plan which demonstrated the need for funds to construct sewage treatment
facilities. The Gzeater Durham Area 201 Wastewater Facilities Plan in-
cludes Orange County and calls for construction of sewer lines into 'the
area in question. Provision of these services, then, would be in keeping
with this plan.
Land Use planning:, ~n issue such. as this which could affect..the_future
growth pattern of part of Orange County makes a good case far the develop-
ment of a land use glen for the County. Such a plan could provide the
basis upon which to make rational decisions about Yahat Orange County's
policy ought to be on this question.
Policy O~ians
The Planning Board might take a number of positions on the question of
extension of water (and sewer'?) into Eno Township along Hillsborough Road.
These include:
]„ Oppose extension of water lines into the area. This would allow
growth in the area only to the capacity of soi.7.s to absorb effu-
lent from septic tanks. It would also deny owners of Brewer's
Trailer Cou osesXesi.dents of othertmobule home parksein theaarea
possibly exp
to unpotable water. _,
2. Endorse the extension of a small diameter water line (6 or 8 inches
for example)but not a sewer line to the petitioners property and.
not beyond. This would solve health problems in the area while
not opening up the area to the growth that the provision of uti-
lities of greater capacity might cause.
i ~ ~;
~.. _3_
3. Endorse the extension of a small diametex water line and sewer
. lines into the area.. This would.insure a potable watex supply
and also the avoidance of possible health effects due to the
presence of contaminated water on the surface of the ground.
It would also be im keeping with the 201 Plan for the area.
4. Encourage the provision of large capacity sewer and water limes
to the petitioners and beyond; perhaps to the area of the Y-85 - .
U. S. 70 intexthange. This would opera up this area to major
growth and also solve the more immediate health problem in the
area. _
O V~
5. This position would be the same as number ~ above, but with
the stipulation that provision of utilities in the axea not take
place until Orange County had more appropriate development control
mechanisms in force (for example a revised County zoning ordinance).

Construction of new facilitees and observation of the
County landfill. (Includes municipal, recreata~onal, and
school system 'construction)
4. Activities within the corporate limits~of Hillsborough.
S. Exempt activities - mining. emphasis on Chapel Hill gravel
pits.
X would estimate that the increased workload involved in such a
monitoring program would be on the order of 15-20R. Such an increase in
workload would place severe demands on the Erosion Control staff. At
present staff and transportation limitations are such that effective
monitoring of exempt activities would not be possible without a reduction
in the effectiveness of the inspection and enforcement program on projects
currently undex the divisions jurisdiction. Currently the staff is limited
to priority assessment of ongoing projects. Low priority projects are
inspected generally once per month. High priority projects may be visited
twice per week or more.

Any monitoring program .could be integrated into the existing
inspections program which is based on geographic zones. The County has
bees broken into six zones for this purpose. See attachment
It is recommended that should this monitoring program be established,
that at least one additional staff member and a vehicle be assigned to the
Erosion Control Division. Additional staff without sufficient transporta-
tion would be of dubious worth.
There follows a breakdown of each category of exempt activities, a
decus®ian of the types of projects within each category, and a subjective
assessment of the magnitude of erosion related problems ascribed to each
type of activity.

7. Activities exempt by State Law
a. Agriculture -- approximately 25% of the farms in Orange County have
had conservation practices applied during the past 5 years (5C5
District Office). While :there is little doubt that significant
erosion occurs on farmland, it is not recommended that these
activities be monitored by this office. Such monitoring would be
very time consuming, and the legality of free access to private
farmland by this office is questionable.
-- b. Forestry - Impacts can be severe where good fpreste management is
not practiced. The N. C. Forest Service has its own monitoring and
enforcement program. It is not recommended that this activity
be monitored.
6 c. Mining - The N. C. Mining Act covers.thia activity (Inspection and
enforcement). There are approximately a half dozen manes in the
County. Monitoring would be feasible assumming right of access
- could be obtained. Impacts could be very severe should a mine be
operated in violation of the Mining Act. American Stone and Piedmont
Minerals appear to have adequate sediment controls in use. Chapel;
Hill gravel pits that have been looked at (2 of the 4) did not
appear to have any operable controls (based on cursotty examinations).

Memorandum To: Orange County Board of Commissioners
From: Sam Gattis, County Manager
Date: ~ January 26, 1979
Subject: Naming of Rural Roads
• LEGAL BA5I5
Section 153A-240 of our general statutes prescribes the conditions
under which a board of county commissioners may name the public roads
within a county that are -not within a municipality. Restrictions are
placed on this rather general authority. Aboard of county commissioners
cannot:
1) Name or rename any road unless a public hearing is
held after notice has been pasted in at least three
places along the road to be named or renamed.
~~_ ~ 2) Change a road name assigned by the Department of
Transportation unless the Department consents. -
3) Assign a road name deceptively similiar to the
name of any other road within the county. •
• OUTLINE OF TASK
The task of naming the rural roads within a county can be broken
into several parts:
1) Establish long run goals of program and formulate
policies designed to implement these goals.
2) Identification-of roads to .be named and gathering of data
(names, numbers, etc.) relating to these reads.
3) Research and publicity preliminary to tentative proposal
of road names including community meetings to determine
local sentiment.
4) Action by a "task force" to resolve problems identified
in step 3.
5) Public hearings by Board of Commissioners to approve names.
6)• Activate mechanism to assure continuing naming of roads.
7) Placing signs.
8) Replacing vandalized signs.

PROJECT SCOPE
The Department of Transportation has named approximately 500
roads in Orange County. Ta change any of these names we must obtain
concurrence of the Department. Their system of naming roads leaves
much to be desired as:
1) Raad names are duplicated. •
2) The Department often assigned different names to segments
of the same road.
Very preliminary estimates indicate there are approximately 6D0
intersections at which signs should be placed. An exact count cannot
be taken from highway maps in our possession as they do not include
subdivision streets. Further, no policy. has been formulated prescribing
the roads to be named. This estimate of 600 does not relate favorably
to the Alamance County experience of placing 425 signs south of Inter-
state 85.
SUGGESTED IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURE
If the Board elects to proceed with this project, I suggest:
- 1) A1-locate a CETA position funded. sufficiently to attract
someone capable af:
a) Conducting necessary research attendant to proposing
road names.
b) Dealing with community groups and individuals having
concerns relating to road names.
2) Name a "task force" to hear complaints concerning road names,
to resolve these complaints 'where possible and to recommend to
the Board at a public hearing names for each road.
. -. BUDGET ESTIMATE •. -
Based on placing signs at 600 intersections, a project budget might
look like this:.
Project Coordinator (CETA) $ 00.
Clerical Support 2,000.
Supplies and Equipment 750.
S
Field Work Expenses _ 1,500.
Six Hundred Signs (600) 13,250.
Crew to Place Signs 6,000.
Total 23,500.
~~~.
Labor cost estimates far the sign crew are based on Alamance County`s
experience and anticipates a crew of four placing at least 15 signs a day.
The project coordinator position should continue at least one year.
Current CETA funding cgmrnitments and.regulatians terminate on September 30th.
It is reasonable to,assume, but not certain, this position could be continued
after that date. -
GENEitAL COMMENTS
If a CETA funded project coordinator is approved this project could
be started almost immediately with no significant local expense in this .
fiscal year. If the Board elects not to allocate a CETA position the
overall project budget estimate should be increased $9,500. The project
however could still be started almost immediately if the Board provided
funding for the coordinator`s position.
Appropriations for 600 signs and a crew to place these signs might
be approved in the 1979-1980 budget. The naming process however will not
be advanced far enough this summer. to make installations efficient. I
envision signs being acquired in the spring of 1980 and placed that summer.
- The problem I have with projecting a cost estimate. for the project •
revolves around the time it will take to complete the naming process. I
can locate no yardstick against which to measure. Alamance County has
- spent four years working on the area south of Interstate 85. However,
they have no good time records. Their planning department worked on the
project only when they had time available. The Qurham County project
was done many years ago and no records are available there. Thus; the
cost figures for the coordinators time is more of a guess than an estimate.-
If you fill this position through CETA that program will provide at least
seven months free time for the coordinator and possibly as much as eighteen
months. This longer time span appears more than adequate to perform the
• task. However if the task force resolving name issues does not meet fre-
quently.and close out its cases regularily the project is apt to be pro-
. trotted over an unreasonably long time thus running up its cost as well
-as delaying maximum community benefit.
-. - We can expect an initial flare of sign vandalism which will subside.
• ^Alamance County now must replace about l0Y of it signs annually. Our
long run experience should not differ greatly from theirs.
_ _- I have asked planning to investigate the practicality of developing
-~ a block and house numbering system for the rural area. If this idea
proves reasonable block numbers might be affixed to our signs with the
idea of implementing a rural house numbering system sometime in the future.
In making this plan I have attempted to:
A) Keep the Board of County Commissioners out .of the entire process
until a final public hearing. -There you will receive a recommended
road name from the "task force". Ida not feel you have time to
get more deeply involved in this process than necessary.

B) Make apparent the necessity of having a project coordinator
capable of handling the entire program with only rudimentary
supervision by the planning department. The planning staff
has a formidable work program already established for its
personnel.
C) Recommend a plan that will allow almost immediate starting
of the program while placing no significant financial burden
on the county during. the remainder of this fiscal year.
