Dear Mr. Basinger:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm Union County's interest in pursuing a Special Order of Consent
(SOC) with NCDEQ for flow issues at our Grassy Branch Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). After
meeting with our staff on May 211, we have been working on developing the information needed to
make a formal submission for the SOC. Key to this submission is obtaining technical information from
our Engineer who is familiar with the Grassy Branch WRF which will be provided later this month.
Once all the needed information is available, we intend to send you a formal SOC application.
We appreciate both your and your staffs time and effort in helping us move to a solution for the flow
issues at Grassy Branch WRF. Please call me at 704-292-2597 if you need any additional
information.
Sincerely,
Brian Matthews, AICP
