a <br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />HEALTH DEPARTMENT <br />Improving health. Inspiring change. <br />number of events, etc. In general, there are two fairly significant limitations that must be kept <br />in mind: <br />1. Any extensive food service operation or food processing will likely be restricted. The <br />system may be able to accommodate a limited kitchen where catered food is brought in, but to <br />operate a fully functional food service operation would be beyond the system design capacity. <br />2. Before any additional use of the building, the plumbing system underneath the <br />building and between the septic system and the building would need to be fully evaluated and <br />likely replaced. The inflow of rainwater during rain events regularly exceeds the design <br />capacity of the system, even with the current minimal use of the building. <br />Wastewater System Expansion - Several years ago, the county applied for and received an <br />Improvement Permit for the property on the opposite (east) side of NC 86 North. This permit <br />identified enough suitable area to accommodate a septic system of just over 6000 GPD capacity. <br />If this area is still available it could approximately double the wastewater capacity of the <br />facility, but at quite a considerable cost. <br />Much of the information that Jeff Thompson sent earlier is still applicable with regard to the <br />wastewater system, including the examples that were developed for potential uses. I'll be <br />happy to work with your office or others to respond to proposals with regard to the septic <br />system capacity. <br />919 245 2360 131 west Margaret Lane, Suite 100 > Chapel Hill, NC 27514 P orangecountync.gov <br />
