SEWER MORATORIUM
The Village at Nags Head Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Facility
Carolina Water Service in Dare County cannot accept the discharge of additional waste to The Village at Nags Head Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Facility effective August 19, 2008 due to problems associated with the treatment system. Therefore, The Village at Nags Head Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Facility is hereby placed on a sewer moratorium at its waste water treatment plant effective August 19, 2008.
On the basis of thorough staff review and application of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statues of North Carolina, Public Law 92-500 and other lawful standards and regulations, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission has determined that The Village at Nags Head Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Facility is unable to adequately collect and treat waste tributary to its wastewater treatment facility.
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.67(a) directs that no person subject to the provision of NCGS 143-215.1, 143-215.108 or 143-214.109 shall cause or allow the discharge of any wastes to a disposal system in excess of the capacity, which the disposal system cannot adequately treat. The moratorium on additional sewer connections will remain in effect until Carolina Water Service has rectified the current noncompliant condition of the facility and has obtained written permission from the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission suspending the moratorium.
The permit and other information may be inspected during normal office hours at the Division of Water Quality, Central Files, Archdale Building, 512 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina, telephone: (919)733-7015. Copies of the information on file are available upon request and payment of the costs of reproduction.
Questions regarding the status of the sewer moratorium should be directed to Mr. Danny Lassiter, Carolina Water Service at 252-240-1398.
