Attention: Ms Cyndi Karoty
Dear Ms. Karoty,
I am writing in opposition to the planned WWP regional wastewater
treatment facility proposed location. I live in New Hitt and have an
Apex mailing address.
White you have not doubt heard alt the different reasons for our
citizens' concerns, I think the most important is the track record of
sewage spills associated with the Town of Cary. While Cary may point to
numerous reasons for each spill it is clearly evident that they have
alt happened under the watch of the Cary public works department. Just
this last weekend over 7.9 million gallons of waste were leaked into
the environment.
7.9 Mittion gallons is a huge amount of untreated sewage. If Cary were
allowed to place the new plant in the heart of New Hitl, a spilt of
that magnitude would be devastating to this town. If the same teak
occurred from the proposed pipeline running along my property, I would
lose my pond, which is used to irrigate my 75-tree pecan orchard, my
welt and possibly my orchard. Unlike row crops, pecan trees take 7-10
years to start producing and can produce for well over 100 years.
The pipeline for the untreated affluent should follow a path that would
affect the least amount of people and farms. The plant should be placed
on Progress Energy land that was originally seized under threat of
imminent domain for utility purposes. A location on Progress Energy
land would affect the least amount of people and farms.
Your consideration and time in reading this letter is truly
appreciated. Your decision can affect the lives of many people.
Sincerely,
~o~~.~
