Dear Ms. Coats,
CAMA Major Permit 85-17 issued by the Division of Coastal Management on July
19, 2017 is set to expire on December 31, 2020_ This permit was issued for a Reverse
Osmosis Concentrate Discharge Line extending- from the proposed Brunswick
Regional Water and Sewer H2GO Water Treatment Plant located at 146 Gregory
Road in Belville to the proposed effluent diffuser in the Brunswick River, adjacent
to H2GO's existing wastewater effluent discharge.
The project components addressed in CAMA Major Permit 85-17 are as follows: 1)
approximately 17,450 feet of buried effluent discharge line from the proposed WTP
eastward to the diffuser in the Brunswick River; 2) the total length includes 400 ft
of buried effluent discharge line from the river bank eastward to the diffuser
structure; 3) a 35-ft long diffuser pipe on the river bed with four discharge ports
extending one foot above the river bottom; and 4) a row of pilings to mark the
diffuser location and to support a debris deflector.
The Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plant and supporting water line projects
were bid in 2017; however, construction was delayed due to political and legal
issues pertaining to the project. The subject legal issues were resolved earlier this
year and the remaining construction contracts were rebid 6n July 16, 2020.
Following Local Government Commission (LGC) approval for project financing on
September 1,2020, the H2GO Board of Commissioners awarded the construction
contracts at their September 16, 2020 meeting. Construction of the RO water
treatment plant, raw and finished water lines, and the RO concentrate discharge
lineJs slated to start mid -October 2020.
