ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT <br /> RTErissoR017G11- <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> 27278 <br /> 001 at <br /> ‘,/1111111•N <br /> ;,474 I <br /> OgrA <br /> MEMO <br /> TO: Jim Polatty <br /> FROM: Rick Cannity r0 <br /> SUBJECT: American Stone <br /> DATE: March 25, 1981 <br /> A site visit by Teresa Hawkins and Rick Cannity in late January <br /> indicated several areas that needed attention by American Stone Co. <br /> In February, these areas were fixed by the company, with the installation <br /> of velocity control measures and pits. <br /> It is our opinion that the vegetation along the relocated creek <br /> and the perimeter of the property provides a good buffer. This is <br /> used not only as a filtration system for runoff into Phil's Creek <br /> but also as a visual and noise buffer. <br /> The closed water system used by the quarry operation appears to <br /> be functioning very well at this time. The settling ponds are <br /> periodically dregged as the sediment has a high dollar value in the <br /> manufacture of asphalt. <br /> It is our opinion that American Stone Company should be given a <br /> favorable recommendation from the staff for the Special Use Permit. <br /> RC/sw <br />
