105 <br /> To obtain information more specific to the property, hydrogeologists and geophysicists were consulted <br /> to survey the property. Their survey disclosed on the property the robust presence of diabase dikes, <br /> geologic formations that are highly correlated with abundant groundwater at depths of 200-400 feet. <br /> They reported four candidate sites for wells placements they consider to have a high probability of <br /> success in obtaining substantial water flow rates from wells drilled at those locations. In their <br /> experience, yields from wells sited near diabase formation are typically 40 gpm or more. <br /> F, Zhat(u) - <br /> -4 A—*4 <br /> ° 41tli Yf�l <br /> LONAK!WE&RAW Out <br /> GMA <br /> a `- %f LCL�+bi575 II <br /> -_rte <br /> - rr+ru.a.L <br /> x <br /> i <br /> Representatives from the Division of Water Resources, Public Water Supply Section, of the North <br /> Carolina Department of Environmental Quality visited two candidate sites and verbally indicated that <br /> both sites were suitable. A Letter of Compliance was sent to DEQ by H4D regarding these sites, and a <br /> Preliminary Well Site Approval Letter is expected soon. Wells will be drilled incrementally to supply the <br /> amount required in each phase of the project. <br /> Fire suppression for the development will be designed to meet Orange County fire code and the <br /> International Building Code (IBC) standards. The fire flow will be designed to meet Appendix B, Tables <br /> B105.1(1) and (2) of the IBC. The multi-family residence building will be equipped with a sprinkler <br /> system and final design flow requirements will be determined in the detail design phase of the project. <br /> Any other buildings requiring sprinkler systems will be determined as the design and scope of the <br /> project progress, Should it be determined that the buildings require sprinkler systems, the appropriate <br /> fire flow will be determined. <br />
