Re: Application for Improvement Permit and Authorization to Construct and New Well for 7095 Maple Glen
Dr.,Catawba, NC 28609. Health Department file number RBPR-10-2023-45687
Dear Rook Homes(Matt Flippin):
The Catawba County Health Department, Environmental Health Division on 12/15/2023,evaluated the above
referenced property at the site designated on the plat/site plan that accompanied your improvement permit and
authorization to construct and new well application. According to your application the site is to serve a 3-bedroom
home with a design wastewater flow of 360 gallons per day. The evaluation was done in accordance with the laws
and rules governing wastewater systems in North Carolina General Statute 130A-333 including related statutes and
Title 15A,Subchapter 18A,of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Rule.1900 and related rules.
Based on the criteria set out in Title 15A,Subchapter 18A,of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Rule.1940
through.1948,the evaluation indicated that the site is UNSUITABLE for a sanitary system of sewage treatment and
disposal. Therefore,we must deny your request for an improvement permit. A copy of the site evaluation is
enclosed. The site is unsuitable based on the following:
X Unsuitable soil topography and/or landscape position (Rule.1940)
X Unsuitable soil characteristics(structure or clay mineralogy)(Rule.1941)
X Unsuitable soil wetness condition(Rule.1942)
Unsuitable soil depth(Rule.1943)
Presence of restrictive horizon(Rule.1944)
X Insufficient space for septic system and repair area(Rule.1945)
Unsuitable for meeting required setbacks(Rule.1950)
Other(Rule.1946)
These severe soil or site limitations could cause premature system failure, leading to the discharge of untreated
sewage on the ground surface,into surface waters,directly to ground water or inside your structure.
The site evaluation included consideration of possible site modifications, as well as use of modified, innovative,or
alternative systems. However,the Health Department has determined that none of the above options will
overcome the severe conditions on this site. A possible option might be a system designed to dispose of sewage to
another area of suitable soil or off-site to additional property.
