Private Wastewater Treatment Facility'i"•'
Flat Creek/Whittington Branch
10/31/2015
I am writing to re-request a public hearing, in follow-up to my letter of March, 26
2015. I did not find this matter on any docket online, but it was due to expire last
October, and I do not want to miss a deadline to request a public notice.
I represent Rodney Bradburn: I previously represented his parents, Maynard and
iviacyBradbur t. The Bradburn family. members own property around the southern part
of the North View Mobile Home Park property. The treatment facility for the mobile
home park is very close to part of the Bradburn property, and the discharge runs into - I
believe - Whittington Branch, or Flat Creek.
For years there has been an issue with odor and discharge, especially near the
facility and in Whittington Branch. Part of Whittington Branch runs beside Martin Ford
Road and through the Bradburn land. I was first contacted in 1988 and did some work at
that time. Mr. Bradburn has again asked me for help, because of a proposed addition to
the treatment facility.
I understand that the owners of the mobile home park are planning to add about
170 apartments to the complex. Some of the units will be available for Section 8

vouchers. I am told that the facility has already been permitted to handle this addition.
am also told that at least one other landowner in the area has complaints about the
treatment facility odor and discharge.
I think that a public hearing is necessary for the neighboring landowners and
residents to have an opportunity to advise the Division about the effects of the treatment
facility upon them and their lands, as well as their concerns about the effects of the
addition of 170 more units.
Please let me know what additional documentation is required to make this
request.
With thanks and best regards, I remain
Derrick R. Bailey
