I'm not sure who Mr. Haynes is , but I'll reply anyway. This plant is in
the ground and has been for maybe ten years. It is in such bad condition,
that a great deal of renovating would need to be done in order for it to
operate properly. I would like for the permit not to be reissued, but I
don't know if we can do that. If we have to renew it, there needs to be
some language about improving the current condition of the facility.

I'll have to research Dogwood. I know I talked to them last Permit
renewal and they wanted to keep the permit. If I remember correctly,
there was a big uproar when they got the permit and I suppose they wanted
to keep it because of that. I'll call them sometime!

Charles I offer the following comments:
Town of Clyde NCO021741 is scheduled to connect to the Town of
Waynesville by mid summer if not before. If we have to issue, we need
to have stipulation about connecting.
Autumn Care NCO032361 has ceased discharge. I don't think we should
C� J
renew the permit for them to hold.
Hemlock Villas NCO048143 should be connected to Maggie Valley soon.
C-n
Dogwood Trails NCO065986 has never been operated even though there is a

WWTP in the ground. What should we do?
` !�
Ammons Restaurant has been connected for about a year. No need to
renew. The permit should have been rescinded.
Woodland Village has connected to the Town of Maggie Valley and the
C /1
permit should have been rescinded.
Country Club Real Estate NCO074063 has recently requested Rescission as
the project was not built!
