NCO057703 Summary
March 14, 1996
Fairways Utilities - The Cape wastewater treatment facility currently treats wastewater
generated by The Cape Golf and Racquet Club. The facility's design capacity is 0.35
MGD, but only treats 0.26 MGD.
Review of 1994-95 DMR data indicates the facility is meeting effluent limits.
A special condition requiring the installation of standby power shall be added to the permit.
In February 1995, Mr. Nathan Sanders (Ocean Forest Lakes) and Mr. Steve Miller
(Fairways Utilities) requested the transfer of Ocean Forest Lakes Development
(NC0059978) to Fairways Utilities/The Cape (NC0057703). In May, 1995, this
name/ownership change was granted. Fairways Utilities/Ocean Forest Lakes development
is only partially constructed. Part of Ocean Forest Lakes' wastewater goes to Fairways
Utilities/The Cape's wastewater treatment facility and the remainder of the Ocean Forest
Lakes development is on septic tank. The current NPDES permit for Fairways
Utilities/Ocean Lakes will be renewed for the following reasons:
1) Ocean Forest Lakes is not completed, there will be a need for additional wastewater
treatment capacity in the future.
2) The part of Ocean Forest Lakes currently served by septic tank may eventually connect
to a sewerage system and their wastewater will need to be treated.
3) New Hanover wastewater collection system may not be able to accept Ocean Lakes
wastewater. (see paragraph below)
New Hanover County has a wastewater collection system, but no wastewater treatment
facility. The county is planning to construct a wastewater treatment facility on a site
adjacent to one of City of Wilmington's two wastewater treatment facilities. Fairways
Utilities facilities are probably too far away to make connecting financially feasible.
