MEMO TO: Steve Rogers
Permits and Engineering
FROM: Roy Davis, Regional Engineer ,
Water Quality Section, ARO Q Inr
SUBJECT: Response to Review Comments
Bartenfelder Laundromat
Jackson County, North Carolina
I would recommend that a permit for construction of the evaporation/
percolation pond to serve the Bartenfelder Laundromat be issued without
requiring lining of the basin. The groundwater table is several feet
below the bottom of the pond, and therefore ground waters would be pro-
tected by the movement of liquid from the pond through several feet of
soil before joining those ground waters. To line the pond and thereby
reduce percolation would deny the applicant what has always been a legiti-
mate use of our ground waters, i.e. the dilution of wastewaters after
adequate filtration of those wastewaters through soil. Cashiers receives
a substantial amount of rainfall annually, and I would hesitate to deny
the owners the benefit of percolation if we are serious about the operation
of this pond as a non -discharge system.
Attached please find the original copy with attachments of William
J. Farmer's April 27, 1978 letter in response to your review comments of
April 18, 1978.

FILE MEMORANDUM
BY: Reath P. Dobson
Environmental Engineer 1'
SUBJECT: Inspection
Bradley Packing Company
Jackson County, North Carolina
JAMES E. HOLSHOUSER, JR.
GOVERNOR
The writer inspected wastewater treatment facility serving Bradley
Packing Company on May 2, 1974. The wastewater treatment facility serving
Bradley Packing Company is comprised of an outfall line which has a series
of cascades to allow for aeration of the wastewater. On the day of the
inspection, the discharge was observed to be clear and appeared to be
relatively free of pollutants.
In talking with Mr. Walter Bradley, owner, Bradley Packing Company,
it was learned that the design of the discharge facility had been laid out
by TVA prior to its construction. Mr. Bradley stated that the main business
of the Company was a small wholesale patty business catering to cafes, schools,
institutions, etc. It is estimated that the discharge from this operation
should have a very insignificant effect on Savannah Creek. The only slaughter-
ing that is done at the Company is for local farmers who want their animals
butchered for their personal use. This would be a maximum of 20 animals per
week and would result in a small amount of blood, grease, etc., being,dis-
charged to Savannah Creek.
The writer informed Mr. Bradley that every effort should be made to prevent
these "killing wastes from being discharged to the stream. Mr. Bradley stated
that the Company was already practicing this procedure.

Dear Mr. Ayers:
On April 26, 1984, Messrs. Don Link and•Ted Minnick, both with the Divi-
sion of Environmental Management's Groundwater Section, inspected the new
fine solids settling pond at the wastewater treatment plant serving Sapphire
Valley Development. This inspection was conducted out of concern thatiblast-
ing done for purposes of excavating the pond may have fractured the remain-
ing rock, thereby connecting the pond with water in the fracture zone,I This
possibility was supported by the presence of two or three feet of water;in the
pond at the time of inspection, plus the fact that soil around the pond was
sloped in such a manner as to keep out surface drainage. It is our concern
that if the basin were filled with treated wastewater, that wastewater would
flow into the fractures„ thereby contaminating the groundwater. Corrective
action might be to fill in the new excavation with compacted clay to a,depth
of four feet above the present water table, and construct a dike around the
facility to obtain the needed storage capacity, or to install a watertight
liner.
Craig Cranston expressed the opinion that the water standing in the pond
may not be groundwater, but rather may be surface runoff. You may .pump or
siphon the pond dry if you wish to test this theory. If so, please arrange
for someone from the Groundwater Section to be present during the dewatering
process. Absence proof that the pond is separated from the water table,
please submit alternatives to the present polishing pond construction plans to
protect the quality of the groundwater at the site to the Division of Environ-
mental Management. You should be aware that a well may need to be constructed
on the site to monitor for groundwater contamination. The location for the
well and the construction standards for it will be furnished upon review of
forthcoming plans.

Dear Mr. Ayers:
On May 17 and 18, 1984, Mr. H. E. Minnick, with the Division of
Environmental Management's Groundwater Section, inspected the new fine
solids settling pond at the wastewater treatment plant serving Sapphire
Valley Development. These inspections were conducted to determine if
the water in the new pond was groundwater or runoff from precipitation.
During these inspections, the water in the pond was lowered by pumping
with two gasoline -powered pumps but were never actually pumped dry.
Mr. Minnick noticed that while the water level in the pond was being
lowered, groundwater could be observed entering the pond in several
places along the sides. Rain did not fall during the period of pumping.
Since this verifies the pond is, in fact, connected directly to the
water table, the pond must be lined with an appropriate zero perme-
ability water tight liner installed by methods suitable for conditions
below the water table or shall be filled with compacted clay to a depth
of four feet above the water table.and be diked around the facility to
obtain the needed storage capacity. Obviously, we are receptive to other
approaches to sealing the pond and are willing to discuss such with you.
Upon'the receipt of your revised plans, the location and construction
standards for a well to monitor for potential groundwater contamination
at the site will be provided by this Division.

Dear Mr. Ayers: JacksonlCounty, North Carolina
This letter is to confirm the understanding reached during our June 11,
1984, meeting. Jackson Utility Company will line the new fine solids settling
basin with an impervious liner before the end of this year. The new fine sol-
ids settling basin will not receive treated wastewater until it is lined. In
the interim, effluent from the new secondary wastewater treatment plant will
be routed to the existing basins along with the effluent from the two previously
constructed secondary plants. Please inform us when the new secondary plant
is pllaced in operation, and when the new fine solids settling basin is lined and
placed in operation.

Dear Roy;
RECEIV E u

Western Re�-iorla Mice
Asheyi112, North Carolina
Mr. Carey Ayres of Fairfield -Sapphire Valley has turned over
to me your letter of January 29th, regarding the proposed pond
liner for the waste water facility of Jackson Utility Company.
It is the intent of this letter to discuss those three items
which you indicate that would make the proposed PVC liner un-
acceptable.
Paragraph one in your letter states that the manufacturer does
not recommend the proper material for this particular use. Item
one of the enclosures is a letter dated February 12, 1985 from
Palco Linings, Inc. specifying the 20 mil PVC for this use.,
Paragraph two of your letter suggests that it would be nearlr-
impossible to pump out the pond without removing or impairing
the soil layer that will rest on the top of the PVC. We pro- .
pose to accomplish the pump down of the :pond through a perforated
well and telescoping valve that would not disturb the soil blanket.
Paragraph three of your letter suggests that the apparant savings
using this liner would likely be negated by replacement costs
The manufacturer of the linl,ng a.s_suzes us that with the so>1
hLinket�th:e_lining—will ]a.sxTin excess �� yea s. do'; }t _
believe that any manufacturer of any lining material, whethe'r�
it.be Hypalon or any other sophisticated linings will guarantee
a life in excess of 25 years. I personally believe that a properly
installed PVC liner such as the one discussed in this letterlwill
seal the pond for the next 20 to 25 years and will meet all of the
requirments of the Ground Water People.

Dear Mr. Waser:
F
In answer to your inquiry of last week, a 20 mil polyvinyl chloride lining
is an excellent choice for containing treated secondary wastes. With over
25 years experience in the lining industry, Palco has found PVC, when covered
with a foot or more of earth, one of the most durable, long lasting materials
available. This soil cover is sufficient to insulate against any harmfull
effects of the sun.
PVC use as a pond liner dates back almost 30 years to the first experiments
using synthetic membranes to contain water. In subsequent years, the
industry, working in conjunction with governmental agencies, has determined
the most effective formulation to insure a life expectancy of many years.
Standards have been established in order to assure the end user of obtaining
the finest material available. Enclosed is a copy of the PVC specifications
compiled by The National Sanitation Foundation. Products meeting these
specifications have been specifically formulated to withstand long term
exposure to conditions found in this type of application.
Also enclosed is a list of projects utilizing PVC linings fabricated by
Palco Linings.
If additional questions or comments arise, please call.
Cordially.

This table provides a reliable and dependable means for industry to furnish such materials of known and consistent quality.
Before selection of any material for an FML, however, the user should consult with appropriate manufacturers, because these
materials may not be appropriate for every application. Specific information should be obtained from the manufacturers
regarding installation requirements, exposure conditions, performance expectations, and experience factor.

Subject: Pond Liner
Wastewater Treatment Facility
Jackson Utility Company
Jackson County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Ayres:
The staff of the Asheville Regional Office have reviewed Baldwin and
Cranston's proposal for the use of the Palco 20-mil PVC.Pond Liner at the
Jackson Utility Company Wastewater Treatment Facility, and offer the follow-
ing comments:
1. It appears that the manufacturer does not recommend the pro-
posed material for this particular use.
2. Use of soil to cover the liner would be unsuitable because it would
be nearly impossible to remove the inevitable accumulation of solids
generated in the waste treatment plant and settled in the pond with-
out removing or impairing the soil liner. .
3. The apparent savings realized by the use of this liner would likely
be negated by replacement costs.
We appreciate your interest in finding an economical solution to the problem
of sealing the wastewater settling basin. We would, however, wish the solution
to make use of appropriate materials.
Within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of this letter, please
get back to me with a proposal for sealing the basin making use of materials
which are suitable for this particular application. If we may be of assistance
in the matter, please contact us.
Sincerely,
Roy M. D vis,
