Subdivision <br /> O`Z9-12 <br /> TomKons|er, <br /> During the public meeting the county attorney asked us for a written statement from you regarding our conversation. <br /> Could you please draft something in your own language in response to the questions below?Please also copy Ryan <br /> Jackson ( 'd above)with your response <br /> Thankyoul <br /> Joe Lyle <br /> Subject: Mt. Sinai Rd. Subdivision <br /> Orange County Health Dept. <br /> Tom Konsler, <br /> I wanted to make sure I had accurate notes from our earlier conversation. <br /> 1. During our public meeting some neighbors were concerned that wells on the proposed subdivision could cause their <br /> well to run dry. You responded that the geography in Orange County does not lend itself to wells negatively impacting <br /> adjacent wells in terms of yield or quality. <br /> 2.When a asked how the water quality was in the area around this proposed subdivision you mentioned that <br /> approximately 20%of the wells in the county had high levels of manganese and iron and low ph levels.You also <br /> mentioned that these levels could be easily treated and very rarely cause a well to be abandoned. <br /> 3. 1 mentioned that if we proceed with a community well it would be turned over to Aqua. I asked if you have had any <br /> problems with the Aqua company.You responded that you have not had any pervasive problems with Aqua and that <br /> you thought they were one of the largest water system providers in NC. <br /> 4.When asked about the approval of community wells,you mentioned that it involves both the county and state.You <br /> said that both are involved in the pre-drilling inspection and that we should allow about 2-3 weeks to schedule an <br /> inspection.You also mentioned that your role regarding community wells would mostly be involve permitting and <br /> location and that the state would be involved in long-term monitoring. <br /> Please let me know if this is an accurate representation of our conversation or if any changes are needed. <br /> Thankyou <br /> Joe Lyle <br />
