109 South for appx.12 miles to Ledford Middle School and turn left on Old Greensboro
Road (some maps list it as West Lexington Avenue), continue for 0.8 miles till Old
Greensboro Road turns left while West Lexington Ave. continues to right. Follow Old
Greensboro Road and then immediately take another left at Mock Road, cross the Abbotts
Creek bridge and continue for another %2 mile and turn left on Johnson Road. Continue for 1/4
mile and just before crossing bridge take the access road to the site on the left.

U.S.G.S. Quad No. D17NE U.S.G.S. Quad Name High Point West, NC
7. Site size and expansion area consistent with application?
8. Topography (relationship to flood plain included): The site is on the bank of Spurgeon
Creek in the flood plain.
9. Location of nearest dwelling: Two dwellings are located northwest of the facility at about
400 and 600 feet respectively and the next closest is about 1000 feet south of the site.

10. Receiving stream or affected surface waters: Spurgeon Creek
a. Classification: WS-III
b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Yadkin -Pee Dee, 03-07-07
c. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: Spurgeon Creek
flows to Abbotts Creek which flows to Tom-A-Lex Lake which is the primary water
supply for Lexington and Thomasville. The stream also has the typical agricultural
and wildlife uses.
Part II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1. a. Volume of Wastewater to be permitted: NA gpd (Ultimate Design Capacity)
b. What is the current permitted capacity of the Waste Water Treatment facility?
NA
c. Actual treatment capacity of the current facility (current design capacity)? NA
d. Date(s) of construction activities allowed by previous Authorizations to
Construct issued in the previous two years. NA
e. Please provide a description of existing or substantially constructed wastewater
treatment facilities: This operation is primarily to collect sand that is sold to
asphalt plants. The sand is taken from the stream by dragline, and stored in piles
appx. 10 feet from the stream bank. There is a small berm along 80-90% of the
stream bank to prevent runoff. The current site topography will direct most of the
sites discharge to the middle of the site where a small ditch collects the water
before it returns to the creek. A small portion of the surface water will drain to the
north end of the site before it gains access to the creek. Only a limited portion of
the water draining from the sand piles will return as discharge since most of it will
soak into the sandy floodplain area. Stormwater runoff is the routine discharge
from this site.
f. Please provide a description of proposed wastewater treatment facilities. N/A
g•
Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: N/A
2. Residuals handling and utilization/disposal scheme:
a. If residuals are to be land applied, please specify DEM permit no. N/A

PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant Funds or are any public
monies involved. (municipals only)? NA
2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: NA
3. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: Has the facility evaluated all of the non -discharge
options available. Please provide regional perspective for each option evaluated.
Spray Irrigation: n/a
Connection to Regional Sewer System: n/a
Subsurface: n/a
Other disposal options: Most water that is removed from the creek by the dragline, will
soak into the porous sandy material that underlies the site with only a minor discharge to
surface waters. The primary discharge is stormwater.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS;
IT is recommended that this permit be issued.
