An �IInle9riWak! Company RECEIVEDUDECdDWR JAN 19 Z016 Water Quailttyy Permitting Sectbn Mr. Leggett, In accordance with 15ANCAC 02T .0114(f), the Hampstead Land Group, LLC requests a reduction in the flow design rate for this collection system. Below and attached are the specific items needed to grant this request: A. Meter Calibration - attached is the meter calibration report completed on March 24, 2015. B. Connections- The WWTP receives flow from: • 8 commercial tenants, who occupy approximately 45,000 SF of space in an adjacent shopping center to the residential subdivision • 119 Tributary Residential Units of 126 Permitted 0 79 four bedroom (WQ0030883) 0 34three bedroom (WQ0030883) 0 13 three bedroom (WQ0036244) C. Collection System Ownership -There are two different collection system that flow into the WWTP facility. The shopping center is not part of the flow reduction request so should not be considered In this request. The residential portion of the collection system is owned by same entity as the WWTP, Hampstead Land Group, LLC. It is worth identifying that Old North State Water Company, has been granted temporary operating authority by the NCUC, and Michael J. Myers has been given signature authority by Hampstead Land Group, LLC. D. Collection System Age- The collection system has been constructed during the past 15 years. E. Infiltration/Inflow Analysis- During the past year the average daily flow was 23,486 gallons per day, the max daily flow recorded during May was 37,217 gallons per day. In speaking with the operator, 1/1 is not a significant issue and is estimated only to be a max around 5,000 gallons during a very large rain event. Other fluctuations in flow are attributed to rain accumulating in the 5-day upset pond, each inch of rain contributes about 6,000 gallons of rainwater that has to be sent through the WWTP. F&G. Flow Summary— Flows were analyzed from August 2014 to September 2015. The shopping center flows were separated out by looking at the flows at the main lift station, which receives all the residential flows before being pumped to the WWTP. A drawdown was performed, and pump run times used an extended period to come up with an average daily flow from the residential portion. This flow was then subtracted from the adf of the WWTP to provide an allocation to the shopping center for use in the flow reduction request calculation. H. Based on the information detailed above, the ADF for the sample period is 23,487gpd, the adf for the dedicated residential lift station for similar time period was 19,144 gpd. This leaves a daily flow of 4,434 gpd to the shopping center. May 2015, has the highest monthly adf of 25,839 gpd. The three highest days in May were: 37,217gpd; 31,745 gpd; and 30,746 gpd. The average of those three days is 33,236 gpd. Removing the 4,434 gpd from the shopping center, this leaves 19,144 gpd from the homes. Based on the 119 tributary homes, this equates to a flow reduction value of 243 gpd/connection. If you need additional information to process this flow reduction request of 243 gpd/connection for the future permitting of residential units into the Majestic Oaks WWTP, please contact Scott Smart, PE at 252-290-5646, or at ssmart@envirolinkinc.com.
