Kimrey Single Family Residence
Single Family Wastewater Spray Irrigation Facility
Formerly Permitted Under Permit No. 15687
Alamance County
Dear Mr. and Ms. Kimrey:
In accordance with your application received December 27, 1994, we are forwarding herewith
Permit No. WQ0010420, dated March 29, 1995, to you for the construction and operation of the subject
single family wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities.
The Division understands that the previously permitted facilities, permitted under the now
rescinded Permit No. 15687, were never constructed, and that ownership of the property has been
transferred from Mr. Ervin Kimrey to Claude E. and Dana J. Kimrey. The engineer for the project has
indicated that, in his best judgment, no parameters have changed which would render the previous design
inadequate. Please be advised that any design criteria included in this permit must be incorporated into the
subject facilities during construction, regardless of whether those criteria were included in the original
design.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 2000, and shall be
subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the
monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and
maintaining the required operational information will result in future compliance problems.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of
this permit. This request must be in the form of .a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes, and fled with the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer
27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.
One set of the previously approved plans is being forwarded to you. If you need additional
information conceming this matter, please contact Mr. Ray Cox at [phone] ext. 549.
Sincerely,
A. Pres n How
