The Town is operating under the IBT
Certificate issued in March 2015, which will
accomodate all of our forecasted water
resource needs through the year 2045. In
June 2015, the City of Fayetteville and
Fayetteville's Public Works Commission
filed a petition against the NC
Environmental Management Commission
(EMC) and the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (now the
Department of Environmental Quality -
NCDEQ). The petition contests the decision
to issue the 2015 certificate. The Towns of
Cary and Apex are interveners in the
ongoing legal case, on behalf of the state.
An administrative hearing on the petition
was held in June 2016.
The Town submitted its application to the NC
Division of Water Resources (DWR) individually for
Round 4 Jordan Lake water supply allocations, on
the basis of the Triangle Regional Water Supply
Plan developed by the Jordan Lake Partnership.
The regional Plan concluded there is enough water
to satisfy the regions needs for the next 50 years,
including downstream water users along the Cape
Fear River, even in the event of droughts as severe
as any recorded during the past 80+ years. The
state allocates storage to units of local
governments. Following the review of applications,
DWR presented recommendations, then received
public comments on the recommendations until
May 2016. DWR will next prepare its final
recommendations to the EMC with a final decision
expected in late 2016 or early 2017.
