Majestic Oaks
Pender County
Dear Morelia Sanchez -King,
I am in receipt of the above referenced NOV dated January 22, 2021 and wanted to respond as to what
actions we have taken at Majestic Oaks. We are still under contract to sale Majestic Oaks and are only
waiting on Utilities Commission approval to close.
We continue to work diligently to do everything possible to stay in compliance. We continue to invest in
the system and have addressed the pump stations so there are two working pumps, we have addressed
the generators to assure they all functioning as they should with most recently buying a new panel at
LS#2, purchased all telemetry and completed electrical work at the plant with alarm communication.
Regarding the freeboard violation at basis #1 and #2, the area around Majestic Oaks has experienced a
very high level of rain fall. The rainfall has contributed to the freeboard in basin #1 and #2. Our
operator is also working with contractors to find and eliminate infiltration due to rainfall. We are also
evaluating other alternatives that will help the freeboard at Majestic Oaks.
Our operator is making repairs to the freeboard gauge in basis #2. We hope you will continue to work
with us as we move thru this transition period. I feel we have had good lines of communication and
have been transparent with you and your department.
Please reconsider the enforcement of the civil penalty, as we are working diligently to solve the issues.
Thank you for any consideration and please reach out with questions or concerns at the address above,
email at smcmillanC-integrawater.com or give me a call directly at 205-719-7795.
S cee , ly,
Sean McMillan
