Paul Thames - Re: Buckhorn -Efland STAG. process clarification Page 1 From: Bobby Blowe To: Paul Thames Date: 2/ 17/2006 4:37:50 PM Subject: Re: Buckhorn -Efland STAG process clarification No need to contact EPA. They don't even know what the project involves at this point. Y'all decide what you want the project to include, send us an Engineering Report and we'll go from there, Paul Thames wrote: Bobby, Thanks for your quick reply. Is it advisable that I contact someone in the EPA to insure that there will be no problem associated with breaking out the school portion of the project from the EPA standpoint? If such contact with the EPA is advisable in your opinion, please give me contact information so that I may start that process, Thanks again. »> Bobby Blowe 02/17/06 4:06 PM »> Paul, I've reviewed your letter and offer the following comments: We have no objection to the middle school area portion of the project being broken out of the STAG project, A letter to that effect is needed for our files. In addition, we will need a revised Engineering Report reflecting the scope of the remaining project(s) before they can be approved. If the review/approval/construction schedule of the remaining project is time sensitive, it is strongly suggested that you and /or your consultant schedule a time to come in and discuss the timeframes associated with the review and approval of STAG projects. Some portions of the review remain the exclusive domain of EPA Region 4 and we have little or no control over their schedules. In concept, the reconfiguration of the STAG project should pose no problems for either us nor EPA. We will continue to be the permitting agency for the middle school project, even if it no longer remains a part of the STAG process.. Funding eligibility questions for the middle school project will no longer be a concern; however, the capacity issues of the downstream lines will have to be resolved. I believe that Cecil Madden of our staff is working closely with you and your consultant on various methods to address these concerns. We will continue to work with you to find an acceptable solution that will allow us to issue a permit so that the County can proceed to construction. If you need additional information, please advise.
