Briar Chapel residents property values decreased being near their neigborhood community wastewater treatment plant.

Weddington residents should be very concerned about this. 

Is Toll Brothers calling it a "COMMUNITY wastewater treatment plant" for a reason?

Mel Graham purchased 218 acres of land next door to the Propst/Deal farm in on December 30, 2022.  This is the same land where a developer proposed a development "The Woods" with plans for a  private wastewater treatment plant back in 2008. It got rejected by Weddington Town council. 

McKim and Creed was the engineer firm  that designed the private wastewater treatment plant for "The Woods" back in 2008  and they are the same engineer firm designing the private wastewater treatment plant for Toll Brothers "Deal Lake". 

The following video is an example of a sewer leak from a private wastewater treatment plant that services the Briar Chapel community in Raleigh, North Carolina. 

Although Toll Brothers plans for a private community wastewater treatment plant will be different in design being that it will have subsurface drip dispersal, this video shows how a poorly managed wastewater treatment plant through an HOA can put public health at great risk.

Toll Brothers private wastewater treatment plant would be overseen by "Deal Lake" 's homeowners association where the plant would be managed by a third party sewage operator. 

Private wastewater treatment plants will at some point malfunction and leak into groundwater. Toll Brothers private wastewater treatment plant is approximately 300 ft to Aero Plantation's lake and very close in proximity to a few residents private wells used for drinking water. 

Private wastewater treatment plants will STINK affecting property values. 

In 2008, Weddington denied a developer's request for a private wastewater treatment plant development and the entire town came out against it. 

Weddington we can not sleep on this proposed wastewater treatment plant in 2024! We are going to have to rally against this in a huge way.

ANNOUNCING OUR NEWEST ARRIVAL !

 🦅 WE HAVE SOME EXCITING NEWS TO ANNOUNCE! 🦅

We are very excited to announce the arrival of Baron and Piper's eaglet "Jet"!  Such a precious photo of Piper in the nest watching over her hatchling.

Thank you all for signing and sharing our petition! Please keep sharing and talking to your Weddington neighbors as this impacts us all!

If approved, Toll Brothers proposed "Deal Lake" private wastewater treatment plant would be within 300 feet of the eagles and their nest and neighboring Aero Plantation's lake. 

If Weddington approves one private wastewater treatment plant, others are soon to follow as the remaining open land in Weddington is unsewered.

A CALL FOR GRASSROOTS ACTION!

 

🦅 A CALL FOR GRASSROOTS ACTION! 🦅

Please continue to sign and share our petition! https://chng.it/JVf4JKk6gm

We need your HELP in establishing some points of contact with homeowners association board members or key contacts for the following adjacent neighborhoods to the proposed Toll Brothers “Deal Lake” development. We have some important information to share with those contacts. 

If you have contact information to share in your neighborhood, please email us at NoDealWeddington@gmail.com 

Adjacent neighborhoods are:

Weddington Hills

Lake Forest Preserve

Stratford on Providence

Lochaven Estates

Aero Plantation 

We are losing our last working farm in Weddington.  The Propst/Deal farm, owned for five generations, is under contingent contract with Toll Brothers for a proposed development “Deal Lake”, a 93 home development on 15,000 square foot slab lots with plans to construct a private community wastewater treatment plant to service the wastewater needs of their residents.  

The remaining open land in Weddington and Union County is at risk for developers lining up to build private wastewater treatment neighborhoods! 

Weddington, we must UNITE together to STOP this!

If approved, Weddington could be the first of many private wastewater treatment plant neighborhoods in Union County, setting a precedent for others to immediately follow. 

*We have heard through the “grapevine” that developers are talking amongst each other, waiting for one to get approved with plans to submit their applications behind it. 

Developers wanting to maximize profits are seeking alternative ways to develop unsewered land.  The type of community wastewater treatment plant with subsurface drip dispersal has not been done for a large residential community in the entire piedmont region! It’s a system rarely used for residential in the entire state of North Carolina, mainly seen on the coast where there is poor sandy soil conditions. 

Privatizing sewer for financial gain, allows developers to construct private wastewater treatment plant neighborhoods, giving them the ability to build more homes on smaller lots. 

Conventional septic developments would require the lots to be larger and would decrease developers profit margins.
