Box 29535 <br /> Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 <br /> Ladies and Gentlemen, <br /> Mr. Louis Berini, who is part owner of Caroline Mobile Home <br /> Park here in Orange County, has asked me to write you <br /> concerning the status of the on-site sewage disposal systems <br /> serving the park currently. Most of the homes in the park are <br /> served by individual ground absorption systems which were <br /> installed in the late 60 ' s and early 70 ' s. The systems <br /> generally consist of a 1, 000 gallon septic tank with 120-240 <br /> linear feet of 3 foot wide nitrification trench. <br /> As the systems are aging, we have seen increasing problems with <br /> their functionality, especially in the wetter periods of the <br /> year. Compounding these problems are the . facts that the park <br /> was developed with a high density for on-site sewage disposal <br /> and there is little area left with adequate soils that allows <br /> for reasonable repairs of failing systems. <br /> It is my opinion that if public sewer is available to the park, <br /> it should be connected to that sewer. Failure to pursue this <br /> option could result in irreparable failing septic systems and <br /> potential loss of spaces for the park in the future. <br /> Please call if you have any questions concerning this matter. <br /> S . cerely, <br /> Ron Holdway, .h <br /> Environmental Health Supervisor <br /> cc: Louis Berini <br /> SOUTHERN ORANGE OFFICE:Carr Mill Mall,Suite 225, 100 N.Greensboro SL,Carrboro,N.C. 27510,(919)968.2022 <br />
