HDR ..... <br /> <br /> October 25, 1983 <br /> <br /> Mr. Charles McGinnis <br /> Cabarrus County <br /> P. O. Box 707 <br /> Concord, NC 28025 <br /> <br /> Re: AlternatiVe Water Supply for Midland Area <br /> NDR Project No. 187-06-39 <br /> <br /> Dear Charles: <br /> <br /> Reference is made to my letter of October 14, 1983 concerning Item No. 3, <br /> Package Treatment Plant at Rock Quarry site. <br /> <br /> A site visit was made at the quarry in Midland on October 18, 1983. At <br /> that time we talked with several of the workers at the quarry .site con- <br /> cerning the quarry's present use and potential as a water supply. The <br /> workers stated that the owner pumps water from the quarry to use as make- <br /> up water on the plant site and for irriqation purposes. They also stated <br /> that the water level in the quarry has ~ropped five feet this summer due <br /> to the dry weather conditions and use for irrigation, etc. This would <br /> indicate that the quarry has a questionable potential as a significant <br /> water source for the County and the Midland area. <br /> <br /> Therefore, we recommend that a detailed treatability study on the water <br /> quality and a study of the safe yield of the quarry be made prior to any <br /> expenditure of money to develop this as a raw water source. <br /> <br /> If you have any questions, please call. <br /> <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> HE~2~, DURHAM & RICHARDSON, INC. <br /> ~ul~tson, Jr., P.
