Subject: Summerhouse at Everitt Bay
Request for Pump ap6 Haul Permit Modification
Dear Mr. Bushardt,
As previously discussed, e ONWASA-owned wastewater treatment facility (WWTP) at
Summerhouse at Evere Bay (Summerhouse) cannot be operated due to low -flow conditions as
currently there are onl 6 homes and a community clubhouse that have been constructed in the
development. The re mmended minimum flow to start-up and operate the facility, located in
Holly Ridge, NC, is 0,000 gallons of wastewater per day (gpd). It should be noted that
ONWASA is work' g towards completing upgrades to the WWTP in anticipation of operating
the facility in the ture.
ONWASA is re uesting permission to modify the existing permit to increase the permitted pump
and haul volu to 80,000 gpd, and utilize a secondary receiving facility if needed.
The proposed dperation will consist of pumping and hauling from existing Summerhouse Pump
Station Nos. 2, 3, and 4, and discharging at one of two locations depending on available capacity
at the time. The primary discharge location will be an existing manhole adjacent to the
intersection of Jenkins St. and Crawford St. in the Town of Holly Ridge, NC. From that point,
the wastewater will be conveyed to the Holly Ridge Wastewater Treatment Facility. Due to
recent periods of inclement weather and subsequent increased flows at the Holly Ridge
Wastewater Treatment Facility, ONWASA is requesting to utilize a secondary receiving facility
as necessary.
The secondary discharge location will be an existing manhole on Rolling Ridge Dr. in
Jacksonville, NC, which is upstream of the nearby Hunters Creek Pump Station. The Hunters
Creek Pump Station conveys wastewater to Piney Green Pump Station, which then directs the
flow to French Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility on Camp Lejeune for treatment. ONWASA
has sufficient wastewater allocation at the French Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility to
accommodate the additional flow.

For this modification we are requesting the maximum volume of wastewater that the Holly Ridge
WWTP ORC and ONWASA Collection System ORC has agreed to accept. We do not anticipate
additional flow from future homes to exceed the requested volume of 80,000 gpd. It should be
noted that ONWASA has contracted a local pump and haul company to assist with our efforts at
Summerhouse, therefore, our combined total capacity to pump and haul actually exceeds the
accepted volume from the Holly Ridge and French Creek Wastewater Treatment Facilities.
However, the 80,000 gpd will not be exceeded.
ONWASA is submitting for your review and approval the following information in support of
the application for revision of Pump and Haul Permit No. WQ0036285 for the subject project:
• One (1) original and one (1) copy of the revised Domestic Wastewater Pump and Haul
Application form
• Application fee check in the amount of $1,310.00 made payable to NCDENR for the fee
required as the flow being requested exceeds 10,000 gpd.
• Letter of flow acceptance from the ORC of the Holly Ridge Wastewater Treatment
Facility
• Letter of flow acceptance from the ONWASA Collection System ORC
• Copy of Addendum III of the Wastewater Sales Agreement between Camp Lejeune and
ONWASA confirming that ONWASA has 3.5 MGD of allocated wastewater capacity at
the French Creek treatment facility
• Letters from the haulers stating their capability and willingness to perform the pumping
and hauling
• Two (2) sets of Plans (Maps showing the proposed pump and haul routes and Record
Drawing of Summerhouse Pump Station Nos. 2, 3, and 4)
• Two (2) copies of the technical specifications
