Water Resources Planning Project

Water Resources Planning Project

In 2016, Triangle J Council of Governments, in partnership with the Town of Siler City and Biocenosis, LLC, received a small ($18K) 205J regional water quality planning grant to assess natural resources and provide policy guidance within the Town of Siler City’s planning jurisdiction.  The goals of the project were to identify important natural resources and develop draft policy language options to promote water quality protection and help integrate it with other goals held by the Town of Siler City, such as economic development and parks & recreation. This project built upon existing efforts to support the Town of Siler City to protect water quality as it grows.  The project was focused on the Town of Siler City’s Corporate Limits and extra-territorial jurisdiction.  Findings from the project were integrated into the Natural Resource section of the 2017 Town of Siler City Land Development Plan.

Project documented in the report, Siler City Water Resources Protection - Conservation Planning for Economic Development.

Project completed in 2017.
