Insko 227 -2031 Don Willhoit 644 -3004 (Fax) January 22, 1992 Dr. George T. Everett, Director N.C. Division of Environmental Management P. 0. Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 -7687 Re: NPDES Permit Applications Dear Dr. Everett: Recently, Orange County received a request for comment on pending NPDES permit applications for M.M. Fowler, Inc. (Permit No. NC 0080845) and Martin - Marietta Aggregates (Permit No. NC 0077046). The deadline for submission of comments to your agency is January 23, 1992. At the January 21, 1992 meeting of Board of Commissioners, I was authorized to request that Orange County be given additional time to review both applications. The Board of Commissioners further requests that no action be taken by your agency on these requests until a public hearing is conducted and local governments, utility providers, and concerned citizens are provided with an opportunity to comment on both proposals. It is our understanding that NCDEM is authorized to conduct such hearings. If your agency is unwilling or unable to honor this request, the Orange County Board of Commissioners recommends that you deny the Martin - Marietta application. The location of the quarry in University Lake watershed, a watershed currently classified as WS--I, suggests that the communities served by the reservoir (Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and portions of rural Orange County) be given an adequate opportunity to review and comment on the application. Should you have questions concerning this request, please feel free to contact Paul Thames, the County Engineer, at 919/732 -8181, Extension 2303, or Marvin Collins, the Planning Director, at Extension 2592. Sincerely, Moses Carey, Jr., Chair an4ssioners Orange County Board of YOU COUNT IN ORANGE COUNTY!
