The Jordan Lake boundary is a complex business (see below) that just got a little more complicated.

Durham's Environmental Affairs Board this week recommended that the county and/or city appoint a technical advisory committee to look into the matter, county commissioner Ellen Reckhow said today.

The environmental board is a volunteer citizens' group created in 1991 "to provide the City and County with expert and comprehensive advice on various environmental matters" — according to the planning department Web site.

But the disputed Jordan boundary already has a lawsuit, three surveys, two methods, political candidates, assorted citizens' groups, the state water-quality division and a subdivision as big as a small town muddying the water.

And now a technical advisory committee? Not likely.
