Staff Report Memorandum
Data General Corporation -Apex
Wastewater Pump and Haul
Wake County
As you know, you have had recent conversations with Stan Taylor of Triangle Environmental
regarding the status of the irrigation lagoon at Data General -Apex. Stan has stated that the irrigation
fields are extremely wet and that the lagoon is nearly full as a result of Hurricanes Dennis and Floyd;
therefore, Data General has submitted an application for wastewater P&H.
The attached draft permit is for approximately 7500 GPD and is set to expire on July 31, 2000. The
pumped wastewater will be hauled to the Apex Middle Creek WWTF for treatment and final
disposal.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
