Reviewer Herman Huang Project Description from STIP: N/A
(if applicable):
Project HE-0011 is located along US 64 approximately 4.5 miles west of Siler City near the Chatham -Randolph County
line. US 64 currently has two travel lanes in both eastbound and westbound directions which are divided by a grass
median. The existing Graham Moore Road intersection has a median crossover; US 64 has a westbound left -turn
lane onto Graham Moore Road, an eastbound right -turn lane onto Graham Moore Road, and an eastbound U-turn
to turn onto westbound US 64. The same configuration exists approximately 3,200 feet east on US 64 to service the
median crossover at Moons Chapel Road. Land use in the vicinity of the project includes rural residential, agricultural,
low -density commercial, and industrial.
Project HE-0011 proposes to construct an access road into the 1,800-acre Chatham-Siler City Advanced
Manufacturing (CAM) site (aka CAM Mega Site) that will end approximately 3,000 feet north of US 64. The proposed
CAM Access Road is planned to initially be built as a two-lane raised median -divided roadway. The Department is
planning for right of way to accommodate future plans to widen the CAM Access Road to a four -lane facility. The
intermediate two-lane road will have 12-foot lanes and 8-foot shoulders (4-foot paved and 4 foot unpaved). The
ultimate four -lane road will have 12-foot lanes and an 8-foot shoulder (4 foot paved and 4-foot unpaved). The
northbound and southbound direction will be separated by a 23-foot raised grass median with curb and gutter.
Project HE-0011 also proposes to make improvements to the new CAM Access Road intersection with US 64. The
Department is evaluating a standard intersection design and a reduced conflict intersection (RCI) design to
accommodate future projected traffic entering and exiting Wolfspeed and the CAM site.

TIP HE-0011 o Chatham and Randolph County. SHORT -FORM ICE REPORT. March 2023. page 2
The CAM Access Road will service Wolfspeed which is currently under construction. Wolfspeed is the first
manufacturing development project in the CAM site and is anticipated to open phase one in 2024. Wolfspeed
anticipates creating 1,800 new jobs on the 445-acre site over the next 8 years.
Project Need: The proposed transportation project is needed to safely and efficiently accommodate future projected
traffic entering and exiting Wolfspeed and the CAM site.
Project Purpose: The purpose of the project is to provide safe and efficient access to Wolfspeed and the CAM site
and improve US 64 operations in the project vicinity to accommodate future projected traffic to/from the CAM site.
This report analyzes growth trends and potential development between now and 2035. The planning horizon was
determined using adopted local planning studies and consultation with local planning stakeholders.
The proposed project is anticipated to positively affect economic development; the project will accommodate
current and future development within the CAM site. Siler City and other regional partners support the development
of the CAM site. The Siler City Land Development Plan (2017) identifies objectives and strategies for the development
of the CAM site. Currently, the only planned development within the CAM Site is Wolfspeed. No other future planned
actions are known or proposed at this time.
In addition, no notable NCDOT State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) or long-range Metropolitan
Transportation Plan (MTP) are under construction or planned within or adjacent to the Future Land Use Study Area
(FLUSA).
Future Land Use Study Area
The FLUSA is the area surrounding a planned project that could potentially be indirectly affected as a result of the
completion of a project and associated projects. The FLUSA encompasses the area examined for potential increases
in development pressure because of project construction.
The FLUSA encompasses the area surrounding the greater CAM site that could possibly be indirectly affected by the
actions of others because of the completion of HE-0011. The proposed FLUSA is generally bounded by:
• Brush Creek and Randolph County parcel boundaries to the west,
• Zion Church Road and Chatham County parcel boundaries to the north,
• Old US-421, Bish Road, Stockyard Road and Chatham County parcel boundaries to the east,
• Randolph and Chatham County parcel boundaries and Moons Chapel Road to the south.

Indirect Effects Matrix and Methodology
The categories listed on the Indirect Effects Matrix have been shown to influence land development decisions in
numerous areas statewide and nationally. The measures used to rate the impacts from a high concern for indirect
effects potential to less concern for indirect effects potential are supported by documentation sections. Each
characteristic is assessed individually, and the results of the table are looked at comprehensively to determine the
indirect effects potential of the proposed project. The scope of the project and change in accessibility categories are
given extra weight to determine if future growth in the area is related to the project modifications.

Summary Report
Scope of Project —The project proposes to construct a dead-end access road into the Chatham-Siler City Advanced
Manufacturing (CAM) site, extending approximately 3,000 feet north of US 64. The project also proposes to make
improvements to the new CAM Access Road intersection with US 64. The purpose of the project is to provide safe
and efficient access to Wolfspeed and the CAM site and improve US 64 operations in the project vicinity to
accommodate future projected traffic to/from the CAM site. The proposed transportation project is needed to safely
and efficiently accommodate future projected traffic entering and exiting Wolfspeed and the CAM site. Because this
project is a new roadway with intersection improvements, this category was given a medium -high rating.
Travel Time Savings — No notable time savings would result from the proposed project. If the proposed road and
intersection improvements were not constructed, the private entity Wolfspeed would be required to build a
driveway in a similar location to provide access to their site; therefore, there would be no change in travel time
because of this project. Because there are no travel time savings, this criterion was given a low rating.
Forecasted Population Growth — According to North Carolina's Office of State Budget and Management (NCOSBM),
the population in Chatham County has steadily grown with a slight decrease in growth over the last decade while
Randolph County population growth has slowed over the past two decades; see Tables 1 and 2.

Though population growth within both counties has slowed in the last decade, the majority of the FLUSA is within
Chatham County which has had an annual growth closer to 2%. Further, discussions with local planners identified
interest from residential developers within the FLUSA. Therefore, the category was given a medium rating.
Forecasted Employment Growth — According to North Carolina Department of Commerce -Labor and Economic
Analysis, the annualized employment rate for the Raleigh -Durham region (including Chatham County) is 0.6%annual
growth. The annualized employment rate for the Greensboro region (including Randolph County) is 0.2% annual
growth. Both fall in the greater than 0% to 1% medium -low rating. Within the FLUSA, Wolfspeed anticipates creating
1,800 new jobs over the next 8 years.
Discussions with local planners concluded that because the majority of the land within the FLUSA is vacant, any new
development would contribute to a higher employment growth rate within the FLUSA than the surrounding area.
Available Land — There are approximately 4,020 acres of land within the FLUSA. After subtracting right-of-way,
streams, stream buffers, floodplains and previously developed land, approximately 1,688 acres of land (42%)
remains available for development. Due to geographic location, slope was not calculated because land within this
region is generally flat with slopes under 30%. There are 251 total parcels in the FLUSA and 185 total owners.
Therefore, the ratio of available parcels to owners is 1.36-to-1 and the weighting factor is 0.75. The weighted factor
of 0.75 was multiplied by the 42% of available land resulting in a weighted available land of 32%. Because the overall
weighted available land is 32% this criterion was given a medium -high rating.
Water/Sewer Availability — According to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Water
Resources Local Water Supply Plans, Siler City had a total available supply of 5 million gallons per day (gpd) and a
daily water usage of 2.824 million gpd (56% of capacity) in 2020. It is anticipated by the year 2030, the total demand
would increase to 3.0786 million gpd (62% capacity).
Currently, Siler City has water distribution lines/water availability within the FLUSA along Bish Road and a portion of
US 64. According to the Siler City Public Works and Utilities Department (PWU D), the currently available water supply
will service phase one of Wolfspeed but future phases will require additional water capacity. Through prior
agreement, the City of Asheboro will supply 3 million gpd to the Siler City water system to service future phases.
This agreement is in an early stage and no plans or permits have been issued. Based on coordination with the Siler
City PWUD, it is reasonable to assume that this additional capacity will be infused to the Siler City water system by
2035 (including a 3-year estimated construction duration) following a land agreement and the State release of funds.
This water project would proceed with or without HE-0011. Once additional water is provided to the Siler City water

TIP HE-0011 o Chatham and Randolph County. SHORT -FORM ICE REPORT. March 2023. page 6
system, local planners concluded that there would be a direct influence in development pressure within the FLUSA,
though there are no current plans or funding to add other waterlines in the FLUSA.
No sewer is currently available in the FLUSA, but Siler City is currently updating/modifying a permit (originally
obtained in 2014) to let a sewer construction project to service the entire CAM site. The installation time is expected
to be 18 months following the sewer project let. This sewer project would proceed with or without HE-0011. Despite
the current active sewer project, local planners indicated a sewer moratorium prohibits any additional development
in Siler City. The sewer moratorium is set to expire when the Siler City finishes upgrades to its sewer system, expected
by December 2024. With the sewer moratorium nearing its expiration, local planners have indicated an increase in
requests for sewer allocation within the FLUSA and expect requests are likely to increase once the moratorium is
lifted.
Based on the existing and planned water availability, it is reasonably foreseeable that approximately 30% of the
FLUSA will be serviced by municipal water by 2035. Reasonably foreseeable sewer availability within the same time
horizon is slightly higher, at approximately 50% of the FLUSA. As a result, existing and planned water and sewer
availability in the FLUSA within the ICE study time horizon is approximately 40% and this category is rated medium.
Market for Development — Wolfspeed is the first and only planned development on the CAM site and expected to
open phase one in 2024. The entire CAM site is zoned Heavy Industrial and is being actively marketed for
development. Local planners noted that approximately 100 acres within the FLUSA and adjacent to the CAM site is
being rezoned from residential to industrial.
Discussions with local planners concluded that the current and near -term market for development is hindered by
the sewer moratorium, expected to be lifted by December 2024, and limited water availability. Water and sewer
availability is projected to increase within the CAM site specifically in the ICE study time horizon. Once the sewer
moratorium is lifted, development pressure may increase within the FLUSA and local planners noted that Siler City
has been approached by residential developers interested in property within the FLUSA. No current residential or
commercial projects are planned or permitted.
According to local planners, the introduction of a new US 64 intersection at CAM Access Road will provide safe access
to the CAM site and should contribute to the attractiveness of developable parcel within the CAM site currently
without public road access.
Based on the existing and planned development potential within the FLUSA, this category was given a medium rating.
Public Policy — The land within the FLUSA is primarily a combination of undeveloped lightly forested land (within the
CAM site) surrounded by rural residential properties. Siler City (Chatham County) zoning within the FLUSA includes
Heavy Industrial (H-1) (the CAM site is zoned H-1); Agricultural -Residential (A-R) and Light -Industrial (L-1) to the east;
and Residential District 1 to the north. Randolph County Zoning includes residential agricultural (RA) and residential
restricted (RR -CD) to the west.
Discussion with local planners determined Siler City enforces Department Environmental Quality (DEQ) regulations
on stream buffers. If a stream shows up on a soil survey or USGS map as perennial a 100-ft buffer is enforced while
intermittent streams receive a 50-ft buffer. Stream buffer permits are reviewed by the Siler City Planning
Department. Based on the existing restrictive policies and regulations this category was given a medium -low rating.
Notable Environmental Features —There are approximately 10.78 linear miles of streams within the FLUSA (i.e., 4.18
linear miles of delineated intermittent streams and 6.6 linear miles of delineated perennial streams). Brush Creek (17-
23) is a Class C water resource (protected for uses such as aquatic life propagation, survival and maintenance of
biological integrity, wildlife, secondary contact recreation and agriculture) and accounts for 1.99 linear miles of streams.
Reedy Fork (17-23-0.5) is a Class C water resource and accounts for 2.2 linear miles of streams. Lacy Creek (17-43-7-
(1)) is a WS-III Class water resource (protected for all Class C uses plus waters used as sources of water supply) and

TIP HE-0011 o Chatham and Randolph County. SHORT -FORM ICE REPORT. March 2023. page 7
accounts for 0.79 linear miles of streams. The proposed project falls within the Cape Fear Watershed which is not
subject to NC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) riparian buffer rules. As noted above, Siler City enforces DEQ
regulations on perennial and intermittent stream buffers.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists six federally protected species, under the Endangered Species Act (ESA)
within the project area: Tricolored Bat (proposed endangered), Red -cockaded Woodpecker (RCW) (endangered), Cape
Fear Shiner (endangered), Atlantic Pigtoe (threatened), Monarch Butterfly (candidate), and Harperella (endangered).
No critical habitats for any of the listed protected species were identified within the project area. Suitable habitat for
the RCW is not present. NCDOT Biological Surveys Group (BSG) will conduct protected species surveys for the Cape Fear
shiner, Atlantic Pigtoe and Harparella during the USFWS optimal survey windows. The NC Natural Heritage Program
(NHP) database did not identify any known occurrences of these species within one mile of HE-0011. Though there is
no known or identified threatened or endangered species habitat and there are no known species occurrences,
suitable habitat exists within the HE-0011 study area specifically and likely occurs within the FLUSA. As a result, this
category was given a medium rating.
Direct natural environmental impacts by NCDOT projects would be addressed by avoidance, minimization, or
mitigation during the Section 404/401 and stream buffer Permitting processes.
Indirect Effects Conclusion
Indirect Summary Statement — Analysis suggests that indirect effects are not likely because of the construction of
HE-0011. The proposed project would construct a new dead end access road that will connect Wolfspeed to US 64
at an improved intersection. The dead-end access road would bring a public road closer to parcels on the interior of
the CAM site but not directly affect access or connectivity with other areas of the FLUSA. No travel time savings are
anticipated. Approximately 42% of the FLUSA (1,688 acres) is available for development, including the remaining
approximately 1,350 acres within the CAM site (80% of the developable land) that is being actively marketed for
industrial development. Local planners indicate that residential development interest is increasing in the FLUSA and
is likely to continue to increase with or without HE-0011. The sewer moratorium is expected to be lifted in December
2024 and it is anticipated the CAM site will be serviced by sewer about the same time. Aside from plans to provide
water for future phases of Wolfspeed, there are no other known water service improvements in the ICE study time
horizon. These factors contributed to a medium rating for market for development. Current zoning categories
coupled with the Siler City enforcement of DEQ stream buffers provide some development restrictions. Lastly, while
streams are present, there are no known notable environmental features in the FLUSA.
Water Quality Statement —The potential for the degradation of water quality also exists through erosion and stream
sedimentation. Any direct natural environmental impacts by NCDOT projects would be addressed by avoidance,
minimization, and mitigation consistent with programmatic agreements with the natural resource agencies during
the Section 404/401 Permitting processes.
Cumulative Effects Summary — The approximately 1,800-acre CAM site was consolidated by the Chatham County
Economic Development Corporation within the past 20 years and has since undertaken master planning activities,
including but not limited to environmental feature assessments. The CAM site is actively marketed for development.
Aside from the CAM site, there are no known notable past public or private actions that have occurred within the
FLUSA or any identified by local planners.
Project HE-0011 proposes to construct an approximately 3,000-ft dead-end access road into the CAM site. The
proposed CAM Access Road is planned to initially be built as a two-lane raised median -divided roadway and the
Department is planning for right of way to accommodate future plans to widen the CAM Access Road to a four -lane
facility. This project also proposes to make improvements to the new CAM Access Road intersection with US 64. The
Department is evaluating a standard intersection design and a reduced conflict intersection (RCI) design to
accommodate future projected traffic entering and exiting Wolfspeed and the CAM site. Neither intersection
configuration is expected to have a greater or lesser indirect or cumulative effect to the FLUSA.

TIP HE-0011 o Chatham and Randolph County. SHORT -FORM ICE REPORT. March 2023. page 8
Current development within the FLUSA includes the active construction of Wolfspeed by a private developer. Future
planned actions include two Siler City -sponsored improvement projects within the FLUSA: a water service
improvement project and a sewer extension project. These projects will proceed with or without HE-0011. There are
no other transportation projects included in the NCDOT STIP within the FLUSA. Local planners noted that
approximately 100 acres within the FLUSA, adjacent to the CAM site, is currently being rezoned from residential to
industrial. The CAM site continues to be actively marketed for industrial development. According to local planners,
residential development interest is increasing in the FLUSA and is likely to continue to increase with or without
H E-0011.
There is no identified threatened or endangered species habitat, but moderate amounts of intact, suitable habitat
appear to be present. NCDOT-BSG will conduct protected species surveys according to current policy and guidance
and will consult with USFWS for the HE-0011 project in compliance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act
(ESA). The potential for the degradation of water quality also exists through erosion and stream sedimentation.
Direct natural environmental impacts by the proposed project would be addressed by avoidance, minimization, or
mitigation during the Section 404/401 and stream buffer Permitting processes.
Suggested Actions for Non-NCDOT Entities — It is suggested that local and county governments have proper land
use planning maps and documents (comprehensive plans) in place along with regulations for development due to
the high percentage of available land within the FLUSA. Siler City is in the process of currently updating planning
documents and land use maps.

Project Information
Project HE-0011 is located along US 64 approximately 4.5 miles west of Siler City near the Chatham -
Randolph County line. US 64 currently has two travel lanes in both eastbound and westbound
directions which are divided by a grass median. The existing Graham Moore Road intersection has a
median crossover; US 64 has a westbound left -turn lane onto Graham Moore Road, an eastbound
right -turn lane onto Graham Moore Road, and an eastbound U-turn to turn onto westbound US 64.
The same configuration exists 3,200 feet east on US 64 to service the median crossover at Moons
Chapel Road. Land use in the vicinity of the project includes rural residential, agricultural, low -density
commercial, and industrial.
Project HE-0011 proposes to construct an access road into the 1,800-acre Chatham-Siler City Advanced
Manufacturing (CAM) site that will end approximately 3,000 feet north of US 64. The proposed access
road, Carolina Core Parkway, is planned to initially be built as a two-lane raised median -divided
roadway. The Department intends to secure right of way to accommodate future plans to widen
Carolina Core Parkway to a four -lane facility. The intermediate two-lane road will have 12-foot lanes
ICE Comprehensive Interview Form Page 1
Version: January 2018

and 8-foot shoulders (4-foot paved and 4 foot unpaved). The proposed four -lane road will have 12-foot
lanes and an 8-foot shoulder (4 foot paved and 4-foot unpaved). The northbound and southbound
direction will be separated by a 23-foot raised grass median with curb and gutter.
Project HE-0011 also proposes to make improvements to the new Carolina Core Parkway intersection
with US 64. The Department is evaluating a standard intersection design and a reduced conflict
intersection (RCI) design to accommodate future projected traffic entering and exiting the Wolfspeed
Siler City Plant and the CAM site.
The Carolina Core Parkway will service the Wolfspeed Siler City Plant which is currently under
construction. Wolfspeed is the first manufacturing development project in the CAM site and is
anticipated to open phase one in 2024. Wolfspeed anticipates creating 1,800 new jobs on the 445-acre
site over the next 8 years.'
The proposed transportation project is needed to safely and efficiently accommodate future projected
traffic entering and exiting the Wolfspeed Siler City Plant and the CAM site.
The purpose of the project is to provide safe and efficient access to Wolfspeed and the CAM site and
improve US 64 operations in the project vicinity to accommodate future projected traffic to/from the
CAM site.

1. Does the Preliminary ICE Study Time Horizon of 2035 seem appropriate for this project Required
particularly in terms of consistency with the planning horizons of local transportation and land Question
use plans? If not, please indicate what the year should be.
SC about to do a new comprehensive land use plan, to about 2030. 2035 is appropriate.
2. Are there notable public or private transportation, infrastructure, or development projects
❑ N/A
underway or foreseeable in the FLUSA? Please describe the current status of these projects,
noting if they are permitted or planned.
Some interest/questions about housing development proposals out along US 64 in FLUSA —
nothing we can permit/approve. Planned Unit Development (PUD) — Mixed Use, would
require rezoning. Nothing formal. Due to sewer moratorium (Chris — timing/duration). No
new connections to sewer; existing properties there are some exceptions.
No significant developments are foreseeable. Individual property development.
Old US 421 would require great improvement to accommodate significant development.
3. How do population and employment trends within the FLUSA compare to the county or multi-

7. Please identify land/parcels within the FLUSA that are likely to be developed or sold. ❑ N/A
There has been some interest in mixed use development on the south side of 64, which
would consist of residential and commercial. Rezoning would have to occur for this
development to move forward. There is not much detail right now because it is all still
speculative and nothing formal has been submitted to the City as of this time.
Parcels closer to 64 are more attractive for development.
8. Describe the type and location of any public or private development that is currently ❑ N/A
occurring within the FLUSA.
Wolfspeed
9. Are there any known plans for public or private development in the FLUSA? If so, has this ❑ N/A
development been permitted and/or initiated yet?
None beyond Wolfspeed
10. How would development patterns likely be different if a) the project is built or b) the project ❑ N/A
is not built?
The project would likey spur some other development, particularly the land locked parcels
in the CAM Site. By having the project, it will make it easier for potential other development
— for the safety reason. The intersection is key.
Additional comments or information regarding Growth and Development:
Public Policy
11. What are the local plans, policies, or regulations that pertain to development and growth
within the FLUSA?
Comp Land Use Plan just started; Chris is working on water/sewer Plan; Parks and Rec Plan
in the works. Many Plans are getting ready to kick off or in the early phases of development.
SC just enforces DEQ regulations. Permit goes through Planning to Engineer.

Good Afternoon Chris,
I am currently assisting with the Community Studies for the NCDOT STIP Project HE-0011, the proposed access road into
the CAM Site from US 64, near the Chatham -Randolph County. As part of the Community Study, we are required to
reach out to local planners to discuss the project. We spoke with Jennifer Baptiste this morning and she suggest we talk
to you to gain a better understanding on the water and sewer within our future land use scenario area (FLUSA), see
attached map. If you could provide responses to the following questions that would be great.

1. Is the FLUSA currently served by water and sewer service? Iso, approximately what percentage of the area is
served? If not, are there plans and funding to extend service? Bish rd. currently has water but no sewer. There
are no currently no plans or funding to add water and sewer in the FLUSA area. That could change if future
development dictates.
2. Please provide further detail on the sewer moratorium mentioned by Jennifer Baptiste.
a. What exactly does that mean and why was it put in place? A sewer moratorium is a halt of additional
sewer into the collection system of a town. What that means for Siler City is that no new sewer
connections can be added to the Towns system putting a temporary halt on development in Siler City. It
was put into place because Siler City had violated its wastewater permit multiple time for multiple
different reasons.
b. Is it set to expire at a specific time? Currently it is set to expire when the Town finishes its upgrade of the
wastewater plant, which is on track for December 2024.
c. Will the end of the moratorium, in your opinion, influence development pressure in the FLUSA? We
have already since an increase in request for sewer allocation. It is my opinion that there will be an even
greater increase as we move closer to that date.
3. Please provide further detail on the agreement with Asheboro to provide water to the area.
a. What is the volume of water projected? Currently the projected water volume stands at 3 million
b. What is the projected completion date? The exact date is not known as the State has not released the
funds yet, but the projected build time is around 3 years.
c. Will the introduction of this water, in your opinion, influence development pressure in the FLUSA? Yes.
Your timely response is greatly appreciated. If your schedule will allow, please respond by COB next Wednesday 2/15.
If you would prefer to have a call to talk about the above questions, please let me know your availability and we can set
something up.

Chris:
I have a few follow on questions for you for clarity. We are attempting to understand the potential for future
development on the CAM Site in the foreseeable future as part of this NCDOT Indirect and Cumulative Effects Study.
Attached is a map depicting the water and sewer availability to the FLUSA (future land use study area) based on publicly
available information.
1. Based on my involvement in some of the DENR + Wolfspeed calls, it is my understanding the City will let a sewer
extension construction project in the near term to service the CAM Site. This is consistent with the 2016 CAM
Prospectus
(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eOa622add 61dc0489187cb9/t/5ef90455fb8ae15cc007dcb2/15933778
91568/Chatham-Siler-City-Megasite-May2016%2B%281%29.pdf, Page 8).
a. Will you please verify the timing of that construction let? This project is currently in the updating permit
phase.
b. Will you please verify that the construction project is permitted and approved? The project is permitted
and approved. We currently updating all permits as they were original obtained in 2014.
c. Is the 12 month installation time the current projected construction duration? With having to update
permits and construction material lead times longer than in the past, installation time is going to be
closer to 18 months.
d. This sewer extension will serve the entire CAM Site (not just Wolfspeed)? If not, how much of the CAM
Site would it service? This sewer extension was permitted and designed to serve the whole CAM Site.
e. Is this "exempt" from the sewer moratorium based on timing of the plan/design? This is not "exempt
from the moratorium.
2. Regarding the water agreement with Asheboro:
a. Please confirm the 3 million provided below is in gallons per day. This is gallons per day.
b. In your opinion, will the funding for the project be released/available in the next few years? Le., in your
opinion will the water project bring an additional 3 million gpd to the Siler City water system in the next
12 years (by 2035)? If a land agreement is reach and the State releases the funds, then yes the water
project should bring an additional 3 MGD to Siler City in the next 12 years.
c. Will that influx of water to the Siler City system water the entire CAM Site? If not, how much of the CAM
Site would it service? The 3 MGD coming from Asheboro would not be enough to service the entire CAM
Site and will primary feed the Wolfspeed project.
Thank you very much,
