On July 12, 2001, the Environmental Management Commission issued an interbasin transfer certificate to the Towns of Cary, Apex, Morrisville, and Wake County (acting for RTP South). This certificate allows the holders to transfer a combined 24 MGD, on a maximum day basis, from the Haw River Basin to the Neuse River Basin.
This was the second IBT certificate for the Towns of Cary and Apex. The Towns received their first IBT certificate in 1989, allowing a 16 MGD transfer from Jordan Lake (then defined as being in the Cape Fear River Basin) to the Neuse River basin.
Water is withdrawn from the Cary-Apex intake on Jordan Lake and discharged from their existing permitted wastewater treatment plants located on tributaries of the Neuse River.
