Division of Water Resources
Subject: Application No. WQ0035784
Additional Information Request
The Cottages of Boone WWTP
Wastewater Irrigation System
Watauga County
A. Cover/Response Letter:
1. No comment.
B. Application/Permit Fees:
1. The 2022 annual permit fee is now overdue. A copy of the 2022 invoice with a due date of May 2,
2022 is enclosed. Please see that the permit fee is paid and provide a copy of the receipt.
Payment status pending
C. Application (WWIS-R 02-21):
1. The ORC information in Section V has not been updated. Please update the application to list the
current designated ORC and back-up ORC information.
Form updated
D. Application (WWIS 06-16):
1. Consultant Information in Section III was not completed. Please provide the consulting engineer’s
contact information.
Form updated.
2. Within Section IV. General Requirements, the applicant indicated that they are a Home/Property
Owners’ Association. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T .0115, Home/Property Owners’ Associations
are required to submit an Operational Agreement. A copy of the Operational Agreement (Form:
HOA) was not provided. Please provide the necessary documentation required by 15A NCAC 02T
.0115.
The Cottages of Boone is not an HOA/POA. The box was checked by mistake. Form has been
updated accordingly.
3. The response to Section VIII. Setbacks indicated that the applicant is not intending to comply with
15A NCAC 02T .0506(c). The current permit for The Cottages of Boone WWTP indicates that the
facility is currently permitted to be compliant with 15A NCAC 02T .0506(c). Is the facility no
longer meeting the reclaimed water quality effluent standards outlined in Attachment A and the
permit? Please note, if the facility is no longer compliant with 15A NCAC 02T .0506(c), then
setbacks from drip irrigation sites to property lines will be increased from 0 feet to 50 feet. Please
provide clarification.
Data redacted from form. The estimated field observed distances originally provided were not
representative. Section omitted unless the Division requests otherwise.
The box on Section VIII, Item 4. has been de-selected. The Cottages of Boone intends to comply
with 15A NCAC 02T 0506.(c)
4. The Professional Engineer’s Certification on page 12 of the application was not completed. Please
have a North Carolina Professional Engineer certify the WWIS 06-16 form for the proposed
modifications.
Page 12 of form WWIS-06-16 has been certified by Mark Brooks. See attached document.
E. Property Ownership Documentation:
1. No comment.
F. Engineering Plans:
1. A detail sheet was not provided. Please provide details of all piping and valves, including proposed
pipe material and diameter for the 90% outlet pipe and the proposed elevations for the modified
features relative to the equalization tank and surrounding treatment components.
8/8/2022: Pending (c/o Mark Brooks)
G. Specifications:
1. Signed and sealed engineering specifications were not provided in the response package. Was the
“Engineer’s Evaluation of Valve Installation” letter meant to serve as a specification cover letter
for the product specification sheets? If so, this document was not sealed. Please provide
specifications meeting the requirements of 15A NCAC 02T .0504(c)(2).
8/8/2022: Pending (c/o Mark Brooks)
H. Engineer’s Evaluation Letter:
1. On the second page of the letter, there appears to be a revision in the equalization tank’s storage
volume from 54,496 gallons to 49,274 gallons. Please confirm that the new equalization tank’s
effective storage volume is 49,274, and please revise Section V.11.a. of the WWIS 06-16
application form to reflect the current storage volume so that the Non-Discharge Branch can revise
the facility description, accordingly.
The installation of the 90% pipe will reduce the tank volume to 49,274. Currently, 54,496 is
correct.
2. Within the description and rationale for the 90% outlet piping, it mentions that the floor drain within
the drum screen building pumps back to the influent pump station. The influent pump station was
not included within the schematic and hydraulic profile on Sheet N-2.1 and the piping does not
appear to be depicted on the facility layout on Sheet N-3.2. The Winston-Salem Regional Office indicated
that the influent pump station was at a much higher elevation than the rest of the treatment facility; please
provide additional information regarding the described piping configuration between the drum screen and
the influent pump station.
8/8/2022: Pending (c/o Mark Brooks)
I. Engineering Calculations:
1. The Engineer’s Evaluation included calculations comparing the initially designed equalization
pumps to the gravity knife valve configuration. The letter summarizing the results was not sealed
as required by 15A NCAC 02T .0504(c)(3). Please revise as needed.
8/8/2022: Pending (c/o Mark Brooks)
J. Site Map:
1. No comment.
K. Power Reliability Plan:
1. No comment.
L. Operation & Maintenance Plan:
1. The provided Operation and Maintenance Manual was not revised to include operation and
maintenance for the proposed knife valve or the proposed 90% outlet pipe and associated gate
valve. For example, Page 12 references the Equalization Tank pumps with an incorrect detail
screen for the configuration on Page 28. Please review and revise the Operation and Maintenance
Manual to reflect the modified facilities.
The O&M provided is based upon the existing treatment facility and will be updated once
sufficient plans and specs of the modified facilities have been obtained. 8/8/2022: Pending (c/o
Mark Brooks)
M. Residuals Management Plan:
1. No comment.
