Please provide a description of existing or substantially
constructed wastewater treatment facilities: The system
includes a 2000 gallon grease trap, 8000 gallon septic
tank, pumping station, 1250 sq.ft. recirculating sand
filter, filter recirculation pumping station containing
dual pumps and dual 3000 gallon recirculation tanks,UV
disinfection system, effluent flow meter, high water
alarms and recirculation system logic circuitry, and
gravity discharge piping. The first filter dose is via
(above ground) low pressure pipe and recirculation doses

Other disposal options: Not evaluated
5. Other Special Items: None
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This report is being prepared based upon a permit renewal
request. The wastewater treatment system was upgraded in the
late 90's via requirements of an SOC. The discharge is to a
zero flow stream. The stream was dry at the downstream
monitoring point on the inspection date. The effluent was very
clear and odorless.
The current effluent limits for the existing facility
appear to meet the requirements of NCAC 2B.0200, Section .0206
for zero flow streams. All samples are taken by grab method.
Monitoring frequency is not exactly per NCAC 2B.500 concerning
water quality limited cases for SIC 8211. However, the writer
does not recommend change because the effluent limits may have
been agreed upon during the SOC. A records review shows the

plant to be in substantial compliance with the permitted
effluent limits (including NH3-N).
The permit contains old language within Condition
B.1.c. relative to state enforcement which should be changed
from $10,000 to $25,000 for civil penalties.
It is recommended that NPDES Permit No. NC0043745 be
prepared and published as a notice to the public. If no
significant adverse public comment is received, it is
recommended that NPDES Permit No. NC0043745 be reissued for a
standard term per the Lumber River basinwide strategy to the
Columbus County Schools.

Re: Permit Renewal (NC-0043745)
Please accept this memo as a request for renewal of permit #NC-0043745 for Old Dock
Elementary School. No changes have been made to the wastewater system at this facility
since out last permit was issued.
This facility does not generate any sludge or other solids; therefore we do not have a
sludge management plant in place.
Thank you for your assistance with this renewal application.
