• Summary of Current Interbasin Transfer Certification Requests
1. Kerr Lake Regional Water System - The request will be to increase their current grandfathered amount of 10 mgd from the both the Roanoke River basin to the Tar River basin and Fishing Creek River basin to approximately 18 mgd. Scoping for the SEPA documentation is in progress.
2. City of Wilmington - Staff has determined that the City of Wilmington has a grandfathered capacity of 15 million gallons per day. Wilmington does not expect to reach this level of transfer before 2030.
3. Greenville Utilities - Greenville Utilities (GUC) plans to apply for an interbasin transfer certificate to transfer from the Tar River Basin to the Neuse and Contentnea River Basins. GUC is planning to increase water sales to Farmville, Greene County, and Winterville, all of which currently are supplied by groundwater wells in the Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CUA). A motivation for the IBT request is that purchasing water from GUC would help the systems to comply with their CUA permits.
