Box 366 <br /> Carrboro, NC 27510 <br /> (919)968-4421 <br /> July 17, 1987 <br /> Mr. Paul Wilms, Director <br /> Division of Environmental Management <br /> • North Carolina Department of Natural <br /> Resources and Community Development <br /> Post Office Box 27687 <br /> Raleigh, NC 27611 <br /> Dear Mr. Wilms: <br /> Orange Water and Sewer Authority (O,1ASA) has received plans for a 158-lot <br /> residential subdivision proposed to be located west of the Town of Carrboro, <br /> within the University Lake watershed. The project, known as Amberly <br /> Subdivision, would be adjacent to Morgan Creek, a major tributary to <br /> University Lake which is the Chapel Hill - Carrboro community's primary <br /> water supply source. A low pressure sewage treatment system is proposed to <br /> serve this project. <br /> The developer has stated that the operation and maintenance of this <br /> community wastewater treatment system would be under a utility arrangement; <br /> therefore, the Division of Environmental Management has the responsibility <br /> for review and approval of the plans and specifications for the system. <br /> GWASA staff has many concerns relative to the proposed system for wastewater <br /> treatment. These are discussed in the attached report. Your consideration <br /> of these concerns and the associated recommendations will be greatly <br /> appreciated. <br /> If your Division receives a permit application for this project, OFA.SA <br /> requests that the Division of Environmental Management (1) notify CWASA, the <br /> North Carolina Division of Health Services, and the Orange County Health <br /> Department and allow those agencies the opportunity to review and formally <br /> comment on the proposed system design and appropriateness; and (2) conduct a <br /> public hearing on this permit application because of its sensitive location <br /> and potential impact on the public water supply. <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
