PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Mr. Leonard I. Cottom has made application for a pump and haul
permit for Ski Hawksnest, Inc. (a ski lodge) and Hanging Rock Golf
Club, Inc. (a golf club), both operated out of the Hawksnest Ski
Lodge. Mr. Cottom presently has a permit to operate the golf
operation until October 31, 1992, and has made arrangements with
the present owners of the ski lodge with a Lease/Purchase
agreement and Mr. Cottom indicates that his intentions are to
purchase the ski lodge and area in the spring of 1993. He intends
to either build an onsite sewage treatment facility or construct a
sewer line to the Kent and Kent Partnership, Valley Creek WWTP.
and have a system in place and operational by the start of ski
season of 1993.
Mr. Cottom has made arrangements with Church Construction Company
to haul the wastewater from the storage tanks to the Kent and Kent
Partnership, Devils Lake WWTP for final treatment. This facility
has a capacity of 20,000 gpd and approximately 2000 gpd will be
pumped and hauled from the ski area. The facility is currently
receiving 0.0038 mgd on a monthly average and is in compliance
with NPDES Permit limits. A copy of the Compliance Evaluation
Analysis Report is attached.
The pump and haul permit is draft to be effective November 1, 1992
and expire on April 30, 1993.
If this permit is not issued then this ski area will not be able
to operate this season. It is recommended that the permit be
issued.
