VOTE: UNANIMOUS D. CONNECTION OF RANCOR, INC. TO EFLAND SEWER SYSTEM Rancor, Inc. is a company located on US Highway 70 between Mebane and Efland. They propose to expand its facility within its existing site by replacing its existing building with a new, larger building. The proposed expansion of the existing facility requires that the Rancor site be served by a public sewer utility. Provision of sewer service to the site requires that a pump station be built on the site and a force main be extended approximately one mile to the Efland sewer system. The force main must be placed within the right-of-way of Highway 70. The NCDOT standard conditions for project approval will require that Orange County assume ownership/maintenance responsibility for the portion of the force main which is to be placed in the Highway 70 right-of-way. The County's agreement, in principal, to the sewer service proposal reassures Rancor that the proposed expansion is a viable project, in terms of the regulatory approval process. Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to agree, in principal, to: a) allow Rancor to be serviced by the Efland sewer system via a sewer force main, which Rancor agrees to construct to standards set by the NC Division of Environmental Management and by Orange County; and b) accept ownership/maintenance responsibility for the portion of the force main lying within the right-of- way to US Highway 70.
