GENERAL: <br />The Pfeiffer -North Stanly Water Association proposes to construct an eight -inch <br />water line from an existing water main in the Village of Misenhiemer along <br />Glenmore Road and Old US Highway 80 for a distance of approximately 12,260 <br />LF. A six -inch branch line will be extended along Wagoner Road in Cabarrus <br />County for a distance of approximately 3000 LF. The Water Association is <br />requesting a loan from the US Department of Agriculture to fund this <br />construction. <br />PURPOSE: <br />Carolina Stalite Company and Vulcan Materials, Inc. operate industrial facilities in <br />the southern Rowan County on Old US Highway 80. These two plants share a <br />well that is used to provide domestic water to the plants. There have been <br />ongoing problems due to the wells "drying up" and several wells have been <br />drilled in the past at different locations in an effort to find domestic water. <br />In addition, the Carolina Stalite Company needs industrial water for production of <br />lightweight aggregate used in the construction industry. This water is currently <br />being bought from the Salisbury-Rowan Utilities in Rockwell, NC, and brought by <br />tanker truck to the site. This process is not cost effective and produces pollution <br />by the consumption of diesel fuel used to transport the water. <br />All residents along the path of the proposed water lines will have the opportunity <br />to tie onto the proposed water line if they so desire. The area through which this <br />waterline will cross is in an area known as the Carolina Slate belt. This area <br />contains soils that fall in the Misenheimer and Kirksey soil classifications. These <br />soils are shallow to bedrock and are generally unsuitable for septic tank <br />drainfields. Providing safe drinking water to this area will improve the quality of <br />Attachment number 1 <br />F -4 Page 91 <br />
