Secretary <br />Noah Carolina Doparancnt or Environment and NanoW Resources <br />March 16, 2006 <br />Mr.. Paul K Thames, P.E, County Engineer <br />Orange County Government Services Center <br />Post Office Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br />Dear Mr. Link: <br />Atari w,, Kb=k, PE. Dirmr or /l <br />Division of Water Quality <br />We've reviewed your letter of February 17, 2006 and offer the following comments.. <br />We have no objection to the middle school area portion of the project being broken out <br />of the STAG project. A letter to that effect is needed for our files. In addition, we will need a <br />revised Engineering Report reflecting the scope of the remaining project(s) before they can be <br />approved. If the review /approval/construction schedule of the remaining project is time <br />sensitive, it is strongly suggested that you and /or your consultant schedule a time to come in and <br />discuss the timeframes associated with the review and approval of STAG projects. Some <br />portions of the review remain the exclusive domain of EPA Region 4 and we have little or no <br />control over their schedules. <br />In concept, the reconfiguration of the STAG project should pose no problems for either <br />EPA nor us. We will continue to be the permitting agency for the middle school project, even if <br />it no longer remains a part of the STAG process. Funding eligibility questions for the middle <br />school project will no longer be a concern; however, the capacity issues of the downstream <br />lines will have to be resolved. <br />I believe that Cecil Madden of our staff is working closely with you and your consultant <br />on various methods to address these concerns. We will continue to work with you to find an <br />acceptable solution that will allow us to issue a permit so that the County can proceed to <br />construction. if you need additional information, please advise. <br />Sincerely, <br />R.
