Abstract:
In 2009, the North Carolina legislature launched SolarBees, a two-million dollar pilot program to test a cheaper water-cleaning alternative in Jordan Lake. Last week, the Department of Environmental Quality abandoned the SolarBees project because data indicated it was completely ineffective. Now the state must get serious about water quality in the lake that provides drinking water to Wake and Chatham counties.

Abstract:
Pollution in the form of garbage is a problem at Jordan Lake. The handful of organizations who are in charge of the lake are not in charge of cleaning up the garbage. The work of cleanup is left to volunteers. Many individuals and groups are helping, but the one million visitors and the Haw River that feed the lake just keep bringing more. The garbage harms wildlife and pollutes the water.

Abstract:
For the third time in three years, Durham’s government officials have moved a protective boundary around Durham. The county commissioners recently accepted a developer’s survey of the lake. This will allow for a housing and shopping complex to be built within the lake’s watershed. The decision will likely result in lawsuits. The history of the zoning of the lake over the last ten years is detailed.

Abstract:
Superior Court Judge Howard Manning has ruled in favor of Southern Durham Development and their project to develop land around Jordan Lake. The development was disputed because some argued the development fell within the protected zone around the lake. Manning stated that the fight that happened as a result was due the planning department and their mistakes. Many residents are upset as the development may threaten Jordan Lake and increase pollution in the area.

Abstract:
Early study results confirm that Jordan Lake is one of many eutrophic lakes in North Carolina, but apparently, severe water quality problems have not yet arisen. With funding from the University of North Carolina Water Resources Research Institute, the first stage of a study of the productivity and nutrient status of phytoplankton in Jordan Lake has been completed.

Abstract:
In May, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission proposed regulations for allocating water supply from Jordan Lake. The rules set out a process to guide water supply allocation but do not allocate the water to specific users. The proposed rule would also require that fifty-percent of the water supply remain unallocated in first-round allocations.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Division of Water Resources is reviewing comments in preparation for making final recommendations for allocating water supply storage in Jordan Lake to local water authorities. In a draft allocation plan, the towns of Cary and Apex and Chatham/Orange Counties will receive all the water supply they requested to fill immediate need, but most long-range allocations will be deferred.
