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). Holly Coleman, M.S. PUBLIC HEALTH DIRECTOR 80 East Street, PO Box 130, Pittsboro, NC 27312 Phone: 919-542-8208 Fax: 919-542-8288 Page 2 of 2 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.
