I received your letter of 5--4 concerning my request for an extension of the permit
application for the future waste water treatment plant to service the Idlewild Acres
subdivision. I appreciate your consideration for this request and understand fully the need
to bring this matter to a close. I am, therefore, asking to withdraw any past or present
application on this matter and understand that any future application would be completely
separate and new.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 522-4525.'

Dear Mr. Yandell:
Your request dated. June 3, 1994, that we continue to hold the permit
application for the future wastewater treatment plant to service the Idlewild
Acres; Subdivision has been fully evaluated. As you are aware, we have
already allowed two extensions of the application period pending receipt of a
complete application and resolution of the concerns expressed by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, the NC Wildlife Resources Commission ission and this
Division. In fact the application for the permit has been pending since March.
26, L9.
The policy of the Division is to return all incomplete applications' Given the
extent of the issues that you are addressing in order to finalize the application,
have determined that it is no longer prudent or appropriate to continue to
hold the application. As stated previously, return of this application in no
manner compromises the ability of the discharge to be permitted, once the
issues of the feasibility of nondischarge alternatives, the protection of the
mussel habitat and the determination of the appropriate and legal applicant
for the permit` have been satisfactorily resolved,
If resolution of the above issues results in the determination that a discharge
permit is the only feasible alternative and that adequate protection can be
afforded the receiving stream through a discharge permit, an application may
be resubmitted with the $400.00 fee, Resubmittal of an application shall
:require that full documentation addressing the above concerns be included
for the application to be considered complete.

Dear Mr. Yandell:
Your application for renewal of an NPDES Permit to discharge treated domestic wastewater
into Goose Creek from a proposed wastewater treatment facility located at Idiewil'd Acres on
NCR 1525 was received on March 25, 1993.'Our Mooresville Regional Office has performed a
site investigation, and the Division has completed its review of the permit application.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in conjunction with the N.C. Wildlife Resources
Commission has determined that Goose Creek is an essential habitat for the endangered Carolina'
Heelsplitter mussel, of which only three populations are known to exist. To allow an additional
discharge; into Goose Creek has the potential to adversely effect the endangered mussel species.
The North Carolina Administrative Code, Chapter 15A N AC 2E .0201, the Antidegradation
Policy, states that water quality which supports existing specific uses shall be protected by
properly classifying surface waters and having standards to protect these uses. If an existing
use is not included in a classification, the project which will affect these waters will not be
permitted' unless the existing uses are protected.
The Division of Environmental Management has also received documentation verifying that
John Crosland Company has no legal ownership of the property Idlewood Acres by deed, contract
or otherwise, We have in our files a copy of a deed which is recorded in the Union County
Registry showing Dorothy K. Schoenith, now Dorothy K. McMillan, as owner of the property. `
Therefore; since this discharge poses the potential' to remove an existing use and as a result of
questions associated with the legal ownership of the property, the Division intends to deny this
permit application.
