Interbasin Transfer Certificate Modification for the Towns of Apex, Cary
and Morrisville, and Wake County (for RTP South)

The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) will hold a
public hearing to receive comments on the Towns of Apex, Cary and Morrisville, and Wake
County (for RTP South) interbasin transfer (IBT) certificate modification request.
The Towns of Apex, Cary and Morrisville, and Wake County (for RTP South) have requested a
modification of their current IBT certificate for three purposes:
• Modify the basis of their IBT certificate approved July 12, 2001 from a maximum day IBT
calculation to IBT calculated as the daily average of a calendar month, per the changes to
NC General Statute 143-215.22L based on Session Law 2013-388.
• Include, at the request of the NCDENR Division of Water Resources, transfers to the
Cape Fear River subbasin, so that the modified certificate addresses transfers from the
Haw River subbasin to both the Neuse River basin and Cape Fear River subbasin.
• Base the certificate term on a 30-year planning period, addressing the Towns’ and
County’s IBT through 2045; resulting in a total of transfer of 33 mgd from the Haw River
subbasin to the Neuse River basin and Cape Fear River subbasin on a daily average of a
calendar month basis.
The public hearing will start at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 7, 2015, at the Town of Apex
Public Works, 105-B Upchurch St., Apex, NC 27502. The public may review the supporting
environmental document, starting on December 22nd, by searching “IBT Certificate” at
www.townofcary.org
The purpose of this announcement is to encourage interested parties to attend and/or provide
relevant written and verbal comments. Division of Water Resources staff requests that parties
submit written copies of oral comments. Based on the number of people who wish to speak, the
length of oral presentations may be limited.
