Margaret Lane <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Mr. Pollatty: <br /> RE: Rash Pond <br /> Orange County <br /> This is in response to your request today concerning the subdivision of <br /> property at the subject dam. <br /> As discussed with Warren Faircloth, the Land Quality Section has no authority <br /> concerning subdivision of property at a dam site. However, we would be interested <br /> in the following: <br /> 1. Any construction, repair, alteration or removal of a dam. The <br /> Dam Safety Law of 1967 requires a permit for such activity <br /> when the darn is under its jurisdiction. <br /> 2. Any construction below a dam which may change the hazard classi- <br /> fication. <br /> 3. Any change in ownership. <br /> 4• Any potentially dangerous conditions at a dam site. <br /> Notice to our office concerning item number one above is required before <br /> any work begins at a dam. Information concerning item number two is derived from <br /> our routine inspection program. Information concerning item number three is <br /> either derived from our inspection follow-up or directly from the effected dam <br /> owner. Lastly, item number four is covered by our inspection program, notifi- <br /> cation from local residents, etc., and/or notification from the effected dam <br /> owner. <br /> In summary, our authority is limited to conditions which directly effect <br /> the safety of a dam. It appears that in light of this limitation, we would not <br /> require any information from the present owner at this time concerning the subject <br /> dam. However, since this dam is on our inventory, we will schedule an inspection <br /> Raleigh a.gionni OM= 3800 Barrett Drive.P 0 Sac 27687.Raleigh,N C.27811.7887 Telephone 919/733-2314 <br /> An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer <br />
