Dear Mr. Cabal:
This is in regard to telephone conversations between Mr. Charles O'Cain, of the'Union
County Public Works Department (UCPWD), and myself regarding the requirements for transfer
of the subject permit into the name of the UCPWD. Mr. O'Cain advised of their willingness to
accept ownership upon compliance with Division regulations.
In anticipation of this transfer of ownership, we have reviewed the November 8, 1996
permit file. Auto -dialers were not required on these pump stations originally because it was
specified that there would be someone living in the mobile home park, within "earshot" of both of
the pump stations, who would be responsible for the operation of the collection system. This
would allow this person to hear and see the audible and visual alarms and take necessary action to
install the portable generator, alternating between pump stations, to assure no overflows due to
power outages.
Based on my conversations with Mr. O'Cain, he has indicated that no Union County
personnel will be living at the site, nor anyone designated by Union County to be responsible for
the pump stations. In the 1996 permit file, power reliability was shown not to be an option for this
system due to some significant power outages in the area and lack of storage capacity within the
pump station wetwells. Given these two factors, the Division will require that both of these pump
stations be fitted with auto -dialers, connected to the UCPWD's emergency systems, prior to
transfer of the permit to the UCPWD.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call me at [phone],
extension 527.
