B. Everett Jordan Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' multipurpose
reservoir that was constructed in 1981 and 1982. The reservoir, located
mostly in Chatham County, provides low-flow augmentation, flood
control, recreation, fish and wildlife habitat and water supply. The
water supply storage in the lake was included at the request of the
State of North Carolina and was done with the understanding that the
actual users of the water would repay the Corps the costs of including
the water supply storage and a portion of the annual operating and
maintenance costs.
The General Statute GS 143-354(a)(11) of the State of North
Carolina gives the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) the
authority to allocate to local governments any water supply storage
held by the State in federal reservoirs. The EMC has adopted an
administrative rule requiring applicants for a water supply allocation
from Jordan Lake to provide information describing their current water
supply sources, projected water needs and alternative water sources.
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) is responsible for analyzing the
information and recommending the allocation amounts to the EMC.
