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.

conditions of the permit. She strongly urged Staff to keep the
million gallon discharge permit active.
Motion: District Commissioner Sisson MOVED, SECONDED by District

to Castle Hayne Baptist Church, contingent upon receiving the
