Re: Application for a Repair Permit for Chatham Development Lot 100. Property location: 100
Briar Patch Lane, Chapel Hill, NC. Parcel number: 61720
Dear Mr. Crudup:
The Chatham County Health Department, Environmental Health Division on March 31, 2010,
evaluated the above -referenced property at the site designated on the plat/site plan that accompanied your
repair permit application. According to your application the site serves a 3- bedroom residence, with a
design wastewater flow of 360 gallons per day. The evaluation was done in accordance with the laws and
rules governing wastewater systems in North Carolina General Statute 130A-333 including related
statutes and Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Rule. 1900 and
related rules.
Based on the criteria set out in Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina Administrative
Code, Rules .1940 through .1948, the evaluation indicated that the site is UNSUITABLE for a ground
absorption sewage system. Therefore, your request for a repair permit is DENIED. The site is unsuitable
based on the following:
Unsuitable soil topography and/or landscape position (Rule .1940)
Unsuitable soil characteristics (structure or clay mineralogy) (Rule .1941)
Unsuitable soil wetness condition (Rule .1942)
Unsuitable soil depth (Rule .1943)
Presence of restrictive horizon (Rule .1944)
X Insufficient space for septic system and repair area (Rule .1945)
X_ Unsuitable for meeting required setbacks (Rule .1950)
Other (Rule .1946)
These severe soil or site limitations could cause premature system failure, leading to the
discharge of untreated sewage on the ground surface, into surface waters, directly to ground water or
inside your structure.
The site evaluation included consideration of possible site modifications, and modified,
innovative or alternative systems. However, the Health Department has determined that none of the
above options will overcome the severe conditions on this site. A possible option might be a system
designed to dispose of sewage to another area of suitable soil or off -site to additional property.
For the reasons set out above, the property is currently classified UNSUITABLE, and no improvement
permit shall be issued for this site in accordance with Rule .1948(c).

However, the site classified as UNSUITABLE may be classified as PROVISIONALLY
SUITABLE if written documentation is provided that meets the requirements of Rule .1948(d). A copy
of this rule is enclosed. You may hire a consultant to assist you if you wish to try to develop a plan under
which your site could be reclassified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE.
You have a right to an informal review of this decision. You may request an informal review by
the soil scientist or environmental health supervisor at the local health department. You may also request
an informal review by the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources regional soil
specialist. A request for informal review must be made in writing to the local health department.
You also have a right to a formal appeal of this decision. To pursue a formal appeal, you must
file a petition for a contested case hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Center,
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. To get a copy of a petition form, you may write the Office of Administrative
Hearings or call the office at (919) 733-0926 or from the OAH web site at www.oah.state.nc.us/form.htm.
The petition for a contested case hearing must be filed in accordance with the provision of North Carolina
General Statutes 130A-24 and 150B-23 and all other applicable provisions of Chapter 150B. N.C.
General Statute 130A-335 (g) provides that your hearing would be held in the county where your property
is located.
Please note: If you wish to pursue a formal appeal, you must file the petition form with the Office
of Administrative Hearings WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS LETTER The date of this
letter is April 9,2010. Meeting the 30-day deadline is critical to your right to a formal appeal. Beginning
a formal appeal within 30 days will not interfere with any informal review that you might request. Do not
wait for the outcome,of any informal review if you wish to file a formal, appeal.
If you file a petition for a contested case hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings, you
are required by law (N.C. General Statute 150B-23) to send a copy of your petition to the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Send the copy to: Office of General Counsel, N.C.
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, 1601 Mail. Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-
1601. Do NOT send the copy of the petition to your local health department. Sending a copy of your
petition to the local health department will NOT satisfy the legal requirement in N.C. General Statute
150B-23 that you send a copy to the Office of General Counsel, NCDENR.
You may call or write the Chatham County Public Health Department at (919) 542-8208 if you need
any additional information or assistance.
