b.) The proposed activity will have a Significant impact on the identified problem. As has been pointed-out by Mr. David'A. Roberts, P.E.; who is the Environmental Engineer for the Cabarr~s County Health Department, the 'Availa~iiiiy o~ sewer service in this community would greatly reduce the p0tential health' hazard resulting from failing septic tank systems, outside privies, and inadequate wastewater disposals" (Attachment 1). The proposed sewage system will provide service to the Shankletown School. The School is c~rently operating on a temporary permit and the existing sand filter bed type sewage disposal system is not satis£actory according to tests completed by the Division o£ Environmental Management of the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development (Attachment 2). A letter from Mr. D. T. Brown, Maintenance Director for Cabarrus County Schools (Attachment 3) addresses this situation and asks for assistance. Maps 3 and 4 show the proposed target area and the location of low- income and minority households coupled with the location of the 25 homes that do not have an indoor bathroom and the location of proposed sewer lines. c.) A house to house survey was performed in the Sidestown- Shankletown community to provide the exact information needed. Of the 179 homes in the Community, complete surveys were obtained from 153 households. Of the households surveyed, a total number of 533 persons were residing in these homes. 0£ these, 373 persons reside in low-income households. This represents 70% of the tota~ proposed target area residents. Therefore, 70% o£ the funds will benefit low-income persons. The location of low-income, minority households in the proposed target area is depicted on Map 3. / III. Cost Information a.)
