Assistant Chief, Engineering Branch Construction Grants and Loans Section North Carolina Division of Water Quality 1633 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1633 Ms. Cyndi Karoly North Carolina Division of Water Quality 1650 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1650 Mr. Monte Matthews Raleigh Regulatory Field Office 6508 Falls of Neuse Road, Suite 120 Raleigh, NC 27615 Dear Messrs. Blaisdell & Matthews, Ms. Karoly: JUN 3 ~ 2006 DENR -WATER QUALITY WETLANDS AND STQfil41WATER BR/WCH I'm not even sure where to begin. I am not quite as eloquent as some of my New Hill neighbors, but I will tell you, I am proud to be associated with them and have agreed with all the letters sent to you on behalf of our small community. I'm amazed at how the WWP have literally railroaded our community into getting what they want. I don't understand how with all the facts out there that have been brought to Cary's attention and to the Western Wake Partners how Cary could possibly be allowed to push this Sewage plant on New Hill. The complete insanity of it all -the thousands and thousands of gallons of Sewage that have flowed mercilessly over the county -it's unbelievable -what are they doing? We do not want this sewage plant in the middle of our community. We are a town with a diverse group of citizens -farmers, lawyers, secretaries, businessmen, waiters, those with money, those with none. We love our country living, our ponds, our animals - it is a good life for our families and has been for generations. This entire process has been slanted from the beginning with us having no say / no voice in what was happening to OUR lands. Studies were done setting up better locations than downtown New Hill -and yet they were ignored. And now the insanity continues by watching yet another sewage spill in Cary. We do not want this to happen in our small community. R I ask that you seriously consider the location of the sewage plant and chose another location that does not directly impact our homes, farms and livestock. There were many in the initial evaluations that were discarded -why? Because all-powerful Cary had it in their minds to railroad yet another town and ignore the facts and dump on New Hill, the small rural community. We can not afford to have the type of spills that Cary has allowed over the years. We do not want the sewage plant in our community and statements about our benefiting from it are highly exaggerated -that will be years down the road and it will be very expensive for us to tie into - it does NOT benefit the citizens of New Hill. Please consider the outcry from New Hill -please read all the letters from my passionate and well-spoken neighbors - we are not unrealistic, we realize that the sewage plant needs to go somewhere - the studies should be revisited and more emphasis be put on sites that are not in the middle of this rural community that hundreds of us call home. Our site was chosen unfairly. Look again at the Progress Energy sites where there would be less impact on homes, churches, community, farms and rest homes. New Hill is a living, working community full of history and life -please do not let it be destroyed by the WWP coming in and making it into an industrial crossroads with spillage to ruin all the good that has existed there for hundreds of years. Thank you for your taking time to look into this very important issue that is so critical to our families and our way of life. Proud to live in New Hill and hoping for a safe future for generations to come, Slnw~~ + O~(~~ Sharee and Otho Liles 7012 Oakville Lane New Hill, NC 27562
