Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities Department – Request for Modification of Interbasin Transfer Certificate
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Monday, March 4, 2013 at 7:00 PM
John M. McEwen Assembly Room Mint Hill Town Hall
4430 Mint Hill Village Lane, Mint Hill, North Carolina 28227
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission (EMC) will hold a public hearing to receive comments on the Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities Department's (CMUD) draft Environmental Assessment (EA). The EA has been prepared to support CMUD's
request to eliminate Condition 3 from its Interbasin Transfer (IBT) Certificate, issued by the EMC on March 14, 2002. Condition 3 excluded the Goose Creek Watershed, in Mecklenburg County, from the IBT service area due to potential impacts from future growth
in the basin on the Carolina heelsplitter, a federally-listed endangered species. This request for an IBT Certificate modification does not require any change in the currently approved transfer amount of 33 million gallons per day.
The public hearing will start at 7 pm on Monday, March 4th in the John M. McEwen Assembly Room at the Mint Hill Town Hall,
4430 Mint Hill Village Lane, Mint Hill, North Carolina 28227. The public may review the draft Environmental Assessment at the Division's web site at: http://www.ncwater.org/Permits_and_Registration/Interbasin_Transfer/status/cmud/. The document may also
be viewed at the hearing or during normal business hours at the offices of the Division of Water Resources (512 N. Salisbury Street, Room 1106, Archdale Building, Raleigh).
The purpose of this announcement is to encourage interested parties to attend and/or provide relevant written and verbal comments.
Division staff requests that parties submit written copies of oral comments. Based on the number of people who wish to speak, the length of oral presentations may be limited.
If you are unable to attend, you may mail written comments to Toya Ogallo, Division of Water Resources, 1611 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC 27699-1611. Comments may also be submitted electronically to [e-mail]. Mailed and emailed comments will be given equal weight. All comments must be postmarked or emailed by April 16, 2013.
