Thanks for the information. You know I tried to appear before city council last the meeting to air my issues. I am trying again next week on 2 May. I left the last meeting signing up to speak but left without speaking due to the Shaw Zoning issue that attracted hundreds of folks. I would have been a whisper in room of shouting people. You know what I am really after is the infrastructure down my street for me to make a sewage connection to my residence. Being within 937 feet of the closest carolina water service sewage manhole just drives me crazy that I am not offered a connection.

The first permit issued for Kings Grant was in 1986. 2. State and federal regulations require that the dischargers select the most environmentally conservative of the financially available alternatives for discharge. At the time the first permit was issued, a discharge permit fit that description. The current availability of sewer should be an impetus for the permittee to connect the subdivision and cease discharging. However, doing so would cost them money. They would own a WWTP for which they have no use, and into which they have made monetary investments. That problem was the basis of the court decisions that took away our authority to force connection to sanitary sewer in situations like these. The courts held that private utility owners have a right to make money from the infrastructure investments they made — installation of sewer lines, installation of a WWTP, etc. The right to make money off such investments was seen as more important than the environmental benefit of discharge elimination. 3. You are correct. The Memorandum of Agreement between EPA and North Carolina was last updated in 2007. Charles H.

That is quite an environmental mouth full "having to live with the sins of the past" (i.e. making a poor environmental decision in 1965 and having to live with it for ever?????) 2. What ever happened to polluters had to exercise "best practices" when it came to environmental pollution issues??? As better environmental procedures became available the polluter was required to upgrade their procedures to the "best practice" available? 3. Don't you folks run the discharge program at the discretion of the Environmental Protection Agency?

Court cases brought against the Division took away that authority. We would greatly prefer that the discharge be eliminated by connection to a sanitary sewer collection system, but we cannot require it. Charles H.

Mr Weaver, I have noted that Carolina Water Service has received a construction permit from NC Environmental for the construction and addition of equipment in support of NPDES Permit NC0062219. When Carolina Water Service requests an increase in discharge that the additional tank and equipment will support will there be an opportunity for public comment? If so when?

The permittee requested the expanded flow phase, most likely in the event that additional homes were added to the subdivision. The rationale for allowing the expansion and the limits applied to the expanded flow phase are in the attached wasteload allocation package from 1993. Let me know if you need additional information.
