1.0 Jordan Lake Allocation Monitoring
The combined Jordan Lake water supply allocation for Cary, Apex, Morrisville, and RTP
South can be tracked on a daily basis. Daily tracking of the combined Jordan Lake
allocation for the period January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005 is included in Appendix
A. The water supply pools for each allocation holder were full on January 1, 2005.
For 2005, the maximum day withdrawal for all certificate holders was 26.1 mgd, which
occurred on September 18. The average daily withdrawal for all certificate holders was 18.4
mgd during 2005 (Table 1-1).

Water use for Morrisville and RTP South is not measured on a daily basis. Therefore,
accurate daily tracking of Jordan Lake water supply allocations can only be performed for
the combined Jordan Lake water supply allocation for Cary, Apex, Morrisville, and RTP
South. Figure 1 shows the partners’ combined water supply withdrawals and the allocation
storage level for 2005. The minimum storage level for the combined allocation was 95.6%
occurring on September 6, 2005. The average percent storage was 99.8% for 2005.

Individual Jordan Lake water allocations are estimated on a daily basis by estimating daily
water usage for Morrisville and RTP South from monthly records. Daily water use for
Morrisville is estimated from monthly or more frequent retail meter readings by assuming
that water usage variations between meter readings follow the same patterns as the total
combined water use (“Net Cary” use). Daily water use for RTP South is estimated similarly
using monthly retail meter readings. By assuming that water usage trends throughout the
month follow similar patterns as Cary. For a given day, the ratio of daily Net Cary water
use to average net Cary water use for the period between meter readings is applied to
Morrisville and RTP South metered water use.
Levels in individual water supply pools are calculated on a daily basis using daily water use
estimates and daily lake inflows. Lake inflow data is obtained from the US Army Corps of
Engineers and allocated to each water supply pool according to the percentage allocation
held. Any inflow amount that would fill the allocated storage above 100 percent is not
stored. Any time the elevation in Jordan Lake is at or above 216 feet mean sea level, the
water supply pools are reset to 100 percent full. If any allocation holder or larger pool has
2005 ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERBASIN TRANSFERS for RTP South and the Towns of Cary, Apex, and Morrisville
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\PHIL FRAGAPANE\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMP\2005IBTANNUALREPORT.DOC 1-3
excess inflow, it is first distributed within that pool to another user, if needed, before being
“spilled”.

The daily Cary/Apex withdrawal amounts are estimated by subtracting the estimated daily
Morrisville and RTP amounts from the metered total daily use; Cary amounts are then
estimated by subtracting the daily recorded Apex use from the remainder.
Cary/Apex holds a water supply storage allocation equal to 32 percent of the water supply
pool or 14,656 acre-feet. Figure 2 shows the Cary/Apex water supply withdrawals and the
allocation storage level for 2005. The minimum storage level for the Cary/Apex allocation
was 95.4% occurring on September 6 2005. The average percent storage was 99.9% for 2005.

2.0 IBT Monitoring
Daily IBT estimates for the certificate holders are included in Appendix B. Estimates are
provided for the period January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005. The maximum day IBT
transfer during the calendar year 2005 was 19.60 mgd, which occurred on July 27, 2005. This
represents 82 percent of the permitted IBT transfer under the certificate approved by the
EMC on July 12, 2001. The annual average IBT transfer was 14.5 mgd during calendar year
2005.
The average daily consumptive use was 17% for the period January 1, 2005 through
December 31, 2005. Historical consumptive use is shown in Table 2-1.
The distribution of consumptive uses between the Haw, Cape Fear, and Neuse River
subbasins for 2005 was based on historical water use in each basin as determined by billing
records for each certificate holder. For 2005, it was assumed that 23% of water use occurred
in the Haw subbasin, 0.6% of water use occurred in the Cape Fear subbasin, and 76.4% of
water use occurred in the Neuse River subbasin. The certificate holders track historical use
by assigning a subbasin to each customer. Data on the distribution of water use between
subbasins for each entity from 2000 through 2005, based on billing records, is shown in
Table 2-2.
In 1998, 1999, and 2000 Apex and Cary implemented mandatory irrigation restrictions due
to water supply limitations and IBT permit restrictions. The Town of Morrisville asked
residents to voluntarily conserve water beginning in 1998, and implemented mandatory
water use restrictions in July 1999. The restrictions reduced consumptive water use from
what would normally be expected during those years. In 2002 all the Towns had mandatory
restrictions because of regional drought conditions, but they were implemented after June,
which was when all-time high water use occurred. Apex continued stage II water
restrictions through December 29, 2005 when they returned to stage I, or voluntary water
conservation measures. Cary continues to have a year round conservation program which
includes: alternate day watering, prohibition of water waste, a rain sensor requirement on
all irrigation systems, and an increasing block rate structure.

For purposes of calculating daily IBT amounts in 2005, the certificate holders used 23% for
the portion of their water use that occurred in the Haw subbasin and 0.6% as the portion
used in the Cape Fear subbasin. For purposes of calculating daily IBT amounts in 2006, the
certificate holders estimate that 25% of their water use will occur in the Haw subbasin and
that 0.6% of their water use will occur in the Cape Fear subbasin.

3.0 Compliance with Certificate Conditions
A summary of the conditions of the IBT certificate dated July 12, 2001 along with the current
status of compliance for each is provided below.
Condition 1 (2010 Required Return)
The holders of the certificate, after 2010, shall return water supplied from the Haw River Basin used
in the Neuse River Basin to either the Haw or Cape Fear River Basins as described below.
a) Any water use in the Neuse Basin in excess of 16 million gallons per day adjusted on an
average daily basis shall be returned.
b) Water used for consumptive purposes in the Neuse Basin will not be subject to this condition
Compliance with this condition is not required until after 2010. However, the calculations
for determining compliance with Condition 1 are shown in Table 3-1. Note that revised
calculations for 2001 result in different values then were included in the 2001 Annual
Report.
Cary, Apex and Morrisville are implementing the Western Wake County Regional Water
Reclamation Facility, and Holly Springs is participating in the effluent discharge facilities to
the Cape Fear River below Buckhorn Dam. The project partners are in the permitting and
design stages of the project and expect to finalize the design in 2007. More information
about the status of the project can be found at the Western Wake Partners’ website at
http://www.westernwakepartners.org.
The Town of Cary entered into an agreement with Durham County to pump wastewater to
the Triangle Wastewater Treatment Plant beginning April 19, 2005. When the Western Wake
County Regional Water Reclamation Facility is completed, flow will be rerouted there.

Condition 2 (Facilitate Allocation Use)
The holders of this certificate shall manage the authorized transfer amount in such a way that none of
the individual petitioners (Towns of Cary, Apex, Morrisville, and Wake County [for RTP South]) are
prevented from fully using their respective Jordan Lake water supply allocations.
The IBT was not a limitation on Jordan Lake withdrawals for any of the allocation holders in
2005.
Condition 3 (Disagreggation of IBT Amount)
If the certificate holders discontinue their cooperative service agreement with each other, the
maximum day permitted transfer will be adjusted by the Division of Water Resources based on the
2030 projected of each applicant at that time.
The cooperative service agreements between the certificate holders have remained in effect
during 2005.
Condition 4 (Compliance and Monitoring Plan)
Prior to transferring water under this certificate, the holders of this certificate shall work with the
Division of Water Resources to develop compliance and monitoring plan subject to approval by the
Division. The plan shall include methodologies and reporting schedules for reporting the following
information: maximum day transfer amounts, compliance with permit conditions, progress on
mitigation measures, drought management, and reporting. A copy of the approved plan will be kept
on file with the Division for public inspection. The Division of Water Resources shall have the
authority to make modifications to the compliance and monitoring plan as necessary to assess
compliance with the certificate.
Cary, Apex, Morrisville, and RTP South submitted a Compliance and Monitoring Plan
concurrent with the submittal of the 2001 report. In 2003 the Division of Water Resources
agreed to modify the submittal date of each annual report to be May 1 of the following year.
Condition 5 (EMC Consideration of Impacts)
If either the EIS is found at a later date to be incorrect or new information becomes available such that
the environmental impacts associated with this transfer are substantially different from those
projected impacts that formed the basis for the above Findings of Fact and this certificate, the
Commission may reopen the certificate to adjust the existing conditions or require new conditions to
ensure that the detriments continue to be mitigated to a reasonable degree.
This condition requires no action by the certificate holders.
Condition 6 (Intake Access)
The Towns of Cary and Apex shall be required to provide access at their existing intake site to other
Jordan Lake water allocation holders that need access to utilize their allocation to the extent that this
additional use is determined to be feasible by the Division of Water Resources. The cost associated
with getting the necessary permits, engineering design, and associated construction costs are the
responsibility of the allocation holder(s) requesting the access and not Cary and Apex.
The Town of Cary has continued to provide retail water service to RTP South and has an
agreement with the Town of Morrisville for water treatment. The Towns of Cary and Apex

have also entered into an agreement to allow Chatham County access to the Cary/Apex raw
water intake on Jordan Lake.
Condition 7 (Drought Management Plan)
Prior to transferring water under this certificate, the Towns of Cary, Apex, and Morrisville, and
Wake County (for RTP South) shall develop individual water shortage response plans subject to
approval by the Division. The holders of this certificate shall develop a drought management plan for
the interbasin transfer, incorporating the individual water shortage response plans and subject to
approval by the Division. The plans shall tie specific water conservation actions to the percent
storage remaining in each of the petitioners’ Jordan Lake water supply accounts. A copy of the
approved plans shall be kept on file with the Division for public inspection. The Division of Water
Resources shall have the authority to approve modifications to the drought management plan as
necessary.
Water Shortage Response Plans for each certificate holder were submitted as attachments to
the 2001 Annual Report.
Condition 8 (Stream Buffer Rules)
Within six months from the effective date of this certificate, the Towns of Cary, Apex, and
Morrisville, and Wake County (for RTP South) shall enact ordinances similar to or more protective
than the Neuse River buffer rules (15A NCAC 2B.0233) for the parts of their jurisdictions that are
within the Jordan Lake watershed. These buffer requirements shall be subject to approval by the
Division of Water Resources after consultation with the Division of Water Quality and shall be
adopted as local ordinances.
Each Town’s buffer ordinance was submitted with the 2001 Annual Report. In 2004 there
was one change:
1. The Town of Morrisville put 370,312 feet of 50-foot wide stream buffers under a
conservation easement.
