Fikes, Director <br /> Orange County Department of Housing <br /> and Community Development <br /> 300 West Tryon Street <br /> Hillsborogh, NC 27278 <br /> Subject: Efland estates <br /> Single Family Unit Subdivision <br /> Environmental Concerns <br /> Orange County <br /> Dear Ms . Fikes: <br /> I have reviewed the information provided in your letter dated <br /> January 10, 1997. From the information that you provide it is <br /> unclear if there are any environmental problems. However, please <br /> consider the following issues : <br /> As with any residence, it is necessary to have available <br /> appropriate methods to manage the wastewater that is generated <br /> ( it is not clear how this is being accomplished from your <br /> letter) . It was stated in your letter that sewer lines were <br /> being constructed. These sewer lines must be constructed as <br /> per approved engineering protocols and the wastewater <br /> treatment plant receiving the waste must have the flow <br /> capacity to treat the subject waste. Also in order to insure <br /> compliance please call the Permits and Engineering Section, <br /> with the Division of Water Quality at ( 919) 733-5083 and <br /> request an application for construction authorization for the <br /> sewer line (note: this must be accomplished prior to building <br /> the sewer line) . <br /> I also recommend that you contact the Orange County Erosion <br /> Control Division at (919) 732-8181 to determine if this <br /> project will need a Sediment and Erosion Control Plan. <br /> In addition, you did not provide any information on whether <br /> wetland impacts will occur. You should determine if wetland <br /> issues are a concern and apply for the necessary permits with <br /> both the Corp of Engineers (919) 876-8441 and with the <br /> Division of Water Quality (919) 733-1786 . <br /> 3800 Barrett Drive,Suite 101, FAX 919-571-4718 <br /> Raleigh,North Carolina 27609 NOVIC An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer <br /> Voice 919-571-4700 50%recycled/10%post-consumer paper <br />
