The EMC will review progress at least annually to assure that the specific milestones are met. The agreement allows local water users the opportunity to take responsibility for planning and managing water resources on a long range, sustainable basis- 'The EMC retains die authority to begin the development of capacity use area. rules at any tine if it determines that progress under this agreement to resolve water management problems is not satisfactory The region's water users and the LRCOG will undertake the following strategies and objectives: • improve the regional monitoring well network with a goat of investing $150,000 per year over five Years Y� By February 2006, Smithfield Foods, Inc. is expected to develop a plan for sustainable water sources either acting alone or in partnership with Bladen County and possibly with other users. The plan must be satisfactory to the Division of Water Resources. Smithfield Foods or a partnership of water users, if such a partnership is formed, wili make quarterly progress reports to the Division starting in January 2005. • alternative water sources planning assistance by LRCOG to regional water users, including: sjjft& users to surface water sources, using reclaimed water, reducing waste of water and improving water use efficiency, developing shallower aquifers, and adding interconnections among water systems • arrange a 2005 agricultural water use survey by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services with periodic updates • develop conservation and rouse strategies for cash sector of water supply, including assistant from the Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance with industrial users; efforts by the North Carolina Cooperative Extension with irrigators, egri-business and intensive livestock users; and efforts by LRC OG to promote water efficiency rate structures and public water system transmission line integrity • develop regional water supply plans for 2030 that encompass additional water sources, environmental protection, intro system cooperation, and regional wages resource u=agoment Dr, v oreau, Chain= S N- Motxis, Director.

The Authority is a self-supporting agency which depends on customer rates and fees to support its operations. The Authority's purpose is to provide a reliable and dependable surface water supply as cost-effective as possible through economy of scale while operating on sound fiscal and utility principles. Bladen Bluffs Regional Surface Water System —A Regional Managed Approach In order to manage ground water resources aquifers, the NC Environmental Management Commission, the NC Division of Water Resources, and the Lumber River Council of Governments, entered into a ground water protection agreement, which among other strategies, will shift current water users to surface water sources. The Bladen Bluffs Regional Surface Water System is being launched to reduce groundwater draws by current users, with the dual goals of providing a sustainable surface water supply and regional aquifer conservation. The launch customer for this project is the Smithfield Packing Company, whose Tar Heel facility is one of the largest employers in the region with approximately 5,000 employees at its Bladen County facility. As one of the largest water users in the region, transferring Smithfield's water use to abundant surface sources will significantly impact aquifer draw. The Bladen Bluffs project will also provide a regional solution for public water supply systems in search of sustainable water supplies to mitigate groundwater quantity and quality concerns. The project will be scalable for future industrial and municipal demand, and will provide additional infrastructure capacity for population growth, economic development, and groundwater conservation. Initial plans call for a 4 MGD (million gallon per day) treatment capacity, but will be designed for future growth as the water intake/pumping station will be engineered to a 30 MGD capacity. Proposed Project Schedule LCFWASA has retained Camp Dresser & McKee (CDM) to assist with the planning, permitting, and design of the Bladen Bluffs Regional Surface Water Treatment Plant. Data collection and design activities will begin in March 2007. Construction of the project is envisioned to begin in the fall of 2008 and will be completed in the winter of 2010.
