BPHCZAL EXCEPTION REQUEST, KEITH V. LENTS PROPERTY, LAND
DARNING RESIDENTIAL SEPTAGE (REP. #'9305-1)s Mr. Lundy explained
this request to the board and the public. This is the same
property discussed in the first public hearing matter. It consists
of 87 acres in the tract. A little less than half the property is
suitable for the Land Farming of Residential Septage. Mr. Lundy
mentioned a letter from the Department of Environmental Health and
Natural Resources, who have done a lay -out on the property. The
layout shows the required buffering that complies with the
ordinance requirements.
The staff and the State have reviewed Mr. Lentz's
application. The site has been visited by the local health
department and they find it suitable, and recommend that the
project be approved. He reiterated that the State has given its
approval.
Chairman Haire inquired if there were any questions.
Commissioner Hamby inquired where the septage comes from.
Mr. Lundy said it comes from residential septic tanks. People
hire Mr. Lentz to pump their septic tanks. The majority of the
septage comes from Iredell County, Lundy said.
Commissioner Haire inquired if anyone wished to speak for or
against the request.
Michael Huie said he was concerned about the smell, the
water, and other problems, He would like more information on the
request.
Mr. Lundy said he could discuss what the County requires Mr.
Lentz to do; however, he could not address the State's
requirements. Mr. Lundy read the County's ordinance requirements
from the zoning ordinance.
Chairman Haire inquired if Mr. Huie's questions were answered
by what Mr. Lundy read aloud.
Commissioner Hamby suggested that Mr. Huie get in touch with
the Environmental Office in Mooresville to get the State's rules
and regulations on septage farming.
Mr. Lundy said he had a copy of the State's regulations he
would be glad to share with Mr. Huie if he would come by his
office.
