Agenda Item: 12-31 Environmental Management Commission (EMC) Approval of
Broad River Basin Hydrologic Model

Explanation: Session Law 2010-143 (G.S. §143.355(o)) includes the requirement that
upon completion of a hydrologic model the Department will submit the
model the Environmental Management Commission for approval. Staff
feels the Broad model satisfies all the requirement of Session Law 2010-
143 and is ready for approval. During the Water Allocation Committee
meeting in August, the committee approved the Broad model for
presentation to the full Environmental Management Commission in
November.

Recommendation: Based on the public comments and staff validation of the model,
division staff recommends that the Environmental Management
Commission approve the Broad River basin hydrologic model.
