CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR A SEWER ALLOCATION TO CASTLE HAYNE BAPTIST CHURCH Assistant County Manager Dave Weaver reported the Castle Hayne Baptist Church is requesting an 1,800 gallon sewer allocation at the NorthChase Wastewater Treatment Plant. The church is planning to build a 600 seat sanctuary on Highway 132 North, at Parmelee Road. If approved, the church will pay all expenses to connect to the NorthChase Wastewater Treatment Plant. Mr. Weaver explained the NorthChase Plant will reach capacity in approximately three years; however, by then the Northside Treatment Plant should be in operation. Mr. Weaver recommended approval of the sewer allocation contingent upon receiving additional allocation from the City of Wilmington. Commissioner Barone expressed concern that the County may lose the million gallon discharge permit for the Northeast Cape Fear River if the NorthChase Plant is eliminated. County Engineer Wyatt Blanchard replied the Department of Environmental Management has verbally stated that the County will be able to transfer the million gallon discharge permit to the Northside Treatment Plant. The State would desire for the County to eliminate the discharge into the Northeast Cape Fear River.
