I <br /> pr_c__)cess_Lar_g_laement <br /> The "cluster" STEP system concept of wastewater treatment requires that <br /> the service area establish a governing body to oversee the care and regu- <br /> latory compliance of the system. It will be necessary for the McLennan's <br /> Farm Subdivision to create a homeowners association for the purpose of <br /> maintaining the subdivision's wastewater system. The developer's attorney <br /> will draft special covenants to insure equal representation by all lot <br /> owners. A monthly service charge shall be assessed to cover contract <br /> operation, maintenance and management, as well as any capital expenditures <br /> associated with maintenance repair and regulatory compliance. <br /> Under the "cluster" STEP wastewater management system proposed herein, the <br /> developer will install the pressure sewer collection, system, extend sewer <br /> service connections to each lot, construct the central effluent processing <br /> and pumping station, and construct the 58,800 sq. ft. LPP drainfield <br /> system. <br /> The individual on-site septic/pump tank installations will be the respon- <br /> sibility of each lot owner. The residential pre-treatment systems will be <br /> installed in accordance with subdivisional standard specifications, <br /> compliance with which will be monitored by the Association's wastewater <br /> system manager and the Orange County Health Department. <br /> •Etl-g411V1. st2Ytaill4qt"e1.--11at <br /> The "cluster" STEP wastewater system has been successfully designed, per- <br /> mitted and constructed by Craig B. Morgan & Associates, P.A. The project <br /> was a 14-lot cluster within First Flight Village in Kill Devil Hills, <br /> North Carolina. The 14 lots were located adjacent to Croatan Sound and <br /> were within 100 feet of designated wetland areas. <br /> The implementation of the STEP system concepts permitted safe development <br /> of lands which were considered to be Areas of Environmental Concern, The <br /> process design and technology application was reviewed by the Dare County <br /> Health Department, Office of Coastal Area Management (CAMA), U.S. Army <br /> Corps of Engineers and the N.C. Department of Human Resources. <br /> • <br /> The "cluster" STEP system is specially suited to the project site require- <br /> ments of the McLenanan's Farm Subdivision and should comply with the goals <br /> of the Orange County Planning Board with regard to providing optimum envi- <br /> ronmental protection within a developing Area of Environmental Concern. <br /> • <br /> CRAIG B.MORGAN AND ASSOCIATES.RA. <br />
