EVALUATION OF WASTEWATER DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES
Linville Resorts, Incorporated
Avery County, North Carolina
I. General Information
A. - Linville Resorts, Incorporated Wastewater Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit No. NC0039446
- Avery County
- NC 181 and US 221, North of Linville
Linville, North Carolina 28646
- Prepared By: Danny B. Bridges
- North Carolina P.E. Certification No. 16732
- McGill Associates, P.A.
Post Office Box 2259
Asheville, North Carolina 28801
Telephone: (704) 252-0575
FAX: (704) 252-2518
B. Proposed Facilities: Briefly, the proposed improvements consist of replacing the existing
WWTP with a 100,000 GPD package type plant, which includes flow equalization, two (2)
aeration basins, two (2) clarifiers, an aerobic digestor, and chlorination facilites. A new
influent pump station is also proposed. Dechlorination will be performed by utilizing the
existing setup. See Exhibit A, Proposed Wastewater Treatment Flow Diagram.
C. This project serves Linville Resorts, Inc., a private residential resort community. Currently
there are approximately 90 homes, 4 restaurants, a lodge and a motel served by the
Wastewater System. Actual flows experienced at the existing WWTP are in excess of
50,000 GPD during peak vacation season.
D. The project is not phased and will only add customers as they abandon private septic
systems.
II. Evaluation of Environmentally Feasible Discharge Alternatives
A. Evaluation of the Following Three Alternatives:
1. Connection To Sewerage System
a. There is no other existing sewerage system within five (5) miles.
b. There is no area wide sewerage system planned within a five (5) mile radius
within five years.
2. Subsurface Disposal System
a. Septic Tank and Drainfield System
This alternative would consist of a system of 8-inch gravity sewer collection lines
which would initially carry wastewater to a septic tank and distribution box.
The wastewater would then be distributed through a series of underground drain
lines and absorption trenches where the wastewater would be disposed of
underground. This system is similar to an individual home septic tank and
drainfield system, except, of course, for size.
An absorption rate of 0.5 gal/ft. /day is typical for this area of North Carolina,
however, the permitted absorption rate would be determined by the State of
North Carolina Department of Environmental Management in conjunction with
the local health department.
Based on the above absorption rate, an area of 40 acres would be required to
treat the wastewater flows contributed from the resort area. This area includes
a "repair area" which is completely undisturbed area equal in size to the area
designated for the drainfield system. The above area also takes into
consideration the State criteria for length of drain lines, spacing between drain
lines, trench width and all other aspects of design.
Linville Resorts does not currently own 40 acres of suitable, level land and an
adjacent tract of land does not exist with suitable area and topography to utilize
this system.
3. Spray Irrigation System
a. Currently, Linville Resorts, Inc. does not own sufficient land that is
topographically suitable for a spray irrigation system.
B. None of the three alternatives are environmentally feasible.
C. Environmental Feasibility of Stream Discharge
1. The gravity outfall will be approximately 200 feet to the Linville River (The current
WWTP is located at the same site, therefore the same discharge point will be used.)
See Attached Exhibit B.
2. No easements or land acquisitions are required since Linville Resorts owns all of
the necessary property.
III. Economic Analysis
Since the only feasible alternative to treat this flow is by discharging treated effluent to a stream, an
economic analysis is not needed.

(approach taken, correspondence with region, EPA, etc.)
Facility requesting modification of existing permit for expansion from 0.050 MGD to 0.100 MGD.
Technical Support recommends approval of expansion however Linville Resorts interacts with
Grandfather Golf and Country Club and NH3 toxicity limits for both facilities are affected.
