0 <br /> results in sedimentation and erosion control problems. Also, the <br /> pollutants used around the home (herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers) <br /> and those contributed by vehicular traffic <br /> (metals <br /> contaminate drainage runoff and are transported to, <br /> area rimpoundments, <br /> streams, lakes and reservoirs. <br /> Proper planning and design of wastewater management systems and <br /> drainage facilities will reduce the long-term adverse impacts of <br /> non-point source pollution. By itself, the McLennan's Farm sub- <br /> division will have no adverse impact upon the water quality in <br /> University Lake. <br /> 7. What regulations and laws are available to assure maximum compliance <br /> with best practice standards for sedimentation/erosion control and <br /> wastewater management? <br /> The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management monitors all <br /> projects greater than one acre in developmental size for compliance <br /> with State laws governing sedimentation and erosion control (15 NCAC <br /> 4B, 0.000). <br /> The North Carolina Division of Health Services, the North Carolina <br /> Division of Environmental Management and the Orange County Health <br /> Department control wastewater management practices within developing <br /> areas. <br /> S. What assurances can be provided that this development will not result <br /> in the degredation or contamination of public and private drinking <br /> water supplies? <br /> a) Private wells within the subdivision will receive maximum <br /> benefit by the location of the wastewater drainfields away from <br /> the residential lot sites. <br /> b) The wastewater management concept proposed is the best practi- <br /> cal method of treatment available. The only treatment system <br /> better suited for implementation is a central sewerage system <br /> extended to the subdivision by OWASA. This is not possible at <br /> this time. <br /> c) The construction site is about 1.5 miles from University Lake <br /> and surrounded by a rural, lightly developed buffer of farm <br /> land and forest. This project will have no adverse impacts on <br /> the water quality in University Lake. <br /> d) The wastewater system is being proposed with the understandin <br /> that operation and management will be by a public utility. g <br /> 9. Is the project in compliance with the County's Land Use Plan? <br /> Yes. The Land Use Plan designation for this project site is Rural <br /> Residential and the current zoning is Rural Buffer and Protected <br /> Watershed II. <br /> CRAIG B.
