This evaluation was performed to determine if the property meets the minimum site criteria for the installation of aground absorption sewage treatment and disposal system as defined in Article I 1 of Chapter l 30A of the General Statutes of North Carolina and the Rules for Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems as adopted by the Orange County Board of Health. Based on the site evaluation,the proposed site was determined to be UNSUITABLE for installation of ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal(septic) system. A copy of the site evaluation is enclosed, The site is classified unsuitable based on the following: The site evaluation was conducted considering possible site modifications and alternative,modified,and innovative systems. However, due to the Iimitations of the site evaluated,and based on the evaluation results to date,we have determined that none of the options can be implemented to reclassify the sites from UNSUITABLE to SUITABLE or PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE. Therefore,the request for an improvement permit is denied. The Fallowing are options that may be available to you: I. Evaluate more property. As per the Orange County Health Department Policy and Procedure,if your parcel is greater than 2 acres. only a two acre portion is considered per application. If you wish to have more property tested,you can make application for further evaluations. Also,adjacent or surrounding properties may be evaluated to determine if an easement or property recombination is feasible. 2. Hire a soil consultant. Another option would be to hire a private Licensed Soil Scientist to evaluate the remainder of the property. if the soil scientist finds an area,you may submit another application for an improvement permit accompanied by the soils report with a map identifying the area. A fist of soil scientists is available upon request. 3. Hire an engineer consultant. You may wish to obtain the services of private engineer,soil scientist,or geologist to collect site-speci fic data and submit such data and a system design to the health department for a technical review in accordance with.1948(d). A site may be reclassified to provisionally suitable provided that written documentation, including engineering,hydrogeoiogic,geologic, or soil studies indicate to the health department that a proposed septic tank system can reasonably be expected to function satisfactorily and in accordance with.1948(d). 4.Consider non-conventional system alternatives. The site may be a candidate for possible site modifications or system alternadves. Some options that should be considered by your consultant may include:pretreatment,experimental and innovative systems,off-site systems,modified systems,incinerating and chemical toilets,privies,as well as systems regulated by the State such as spray irrigation, NPDES(discharge),or surface drip systems.
