Complaint  CONFIDENTIAL: This is a one-acre site (half is on Tut Road and the other half on Katie Eubanks) operating as a commercial trailer park. There are presently three dwellings containing three individual families on the south (Tut Road) side. Two of the dwellings were hooked up to defunct septic tanks (with no field lines) set up for emergency use only - FEMA, post Katrina. These tanks were condemned after the FEMA parks wound down. The other primary dwelling put in a new septic tank and lines 2 years ago.

Three weeks ago, the property owners installed a new small tank and a field line (about 30', serpentine) on the half-acre Katie Eubanks side. It is unknown if the current two dwellings on Tut Road are hooked up to the new tank or to the old tanks without lines.

Today, the property owners have brought in six or seven dump truck loads of fill dirt and are regrading and RAISING. It appears that the George County Health Dept. has provided authorization for more dwellings (trailers) to be moved onto this half-acre parcel. This is not confirmed. It looks as if the property owners are making preparations for several more dwellings (trailers) to be moved onto this half-acre parcel. That means there could potentially be a total of 6 or more multi-family dwellings (trailers) operating on a half-acre lot. The land cannot sustain this many dwellings (hypothetically 12-24 additional people). This volume of effluent will present an immediate health hazard to the immediate neighborhood courtesy of a dead-ended storm water system (that goes no where). The property at 164 Tut Road already floods profusely during moderate rain events.

The rule of thumb for this particular community is one dwelling, one family, per two-acre parcel for septic safety.

Is the State of Mississippi going to cut these property owners some slack, allowing them to open a commercial trailer park containing 6 and greater new trailers or doublewides on a half-acre parcel, placing the rest of the community in health peril?

Is this a new precedent? Are all of the adjacent property-owners now authorized by George County and the State of Mississippi Health Department to place any number of trailers and doublewides onto their two-acre parcels also?

Thank you for your assistance. Respectfully, Kim
