RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Approve addition of 16,000 gallon equalization tank and all associated aeration equipment, pumps and piping. REVIEW SUMMARY Executive Summary The subject facility's existing permit was issued on July 23, 2001. The treatment works currently consist of: •Bar screen •Grit and grease tank -Aeration tanks in series *Clarifiers in parallel -Tablet chlorination •Reaeration tank with diffused air -Aerated sludge digester The Winston-Salem Regional Office reports that the facility has experienced problems with hydraulic surges, which then cause solids washouts. This has led to the several violations of permit limits. To assist with compliance and to alleviate this problem of surging, the installation of the 16,000 gallon equalization tank is recommended. - end - Project Name: Installation of an equalization tank Project Number: A25801.00 Applicant: Mr. Lee Simaan Crown Mobile Home Park 6205 Wescott Drive Summerfield.

The WSRO does not feel that a grease trap is necessary for this system. The grease trap will be bypassed while the work on it is performed. Once the work is complete, wastewater will now to it by gravity. The proposed equalization tank provides more than the required 25% storage and seems to be needed at this site due to the flow surges experienced at the plant. Hopefully, the installation of equalization will enable the Permittee to achieve a more consistent level of treatment. Recommendations I recommend that the Authorization to Construct be issued for the installation of a 16,000 gallon equalization tank and the conversion of the existing grease trap to a small preaeration tank.

Fax Memorandum To: Natalie Sierra Fax Number: 733-0719 From: Gary S. MacConnell Subject: Crown Mobile Home Park-Narrative Project Number: A25801.00 Date: March 4, 2003 Many of the ongoing improvements at the Crown Mobile Home Park are considered to be maintenance items and are being handled under the existing permit. This is based on discussions with Steve Mauney of the Winston-Salem Regional Office. The narrative below is for items to be done under the requested Authorization to Construct Pennit. Project Narrative: Construct one 16,000 gallon equalization tank which is to be located upstream of the existing grease trap. The equalization tank is to be aerated by diffusers and air from the existing blowers. Piping for return sludge to pumped to the equalization basin shall be added. The basin shall be furnished with two 0.4-Horsepower submersible pumps which are rated for 40-GPM at 13-14 Feet. A gravity bypass shall be provided to the grease trap and bypassing the grease trap. (As ongoing maintenance, the grease trap is being cleaned and aeration is being added). 1 hope this is helpful. Please call me if you have any questions.

Project No.: A25801.00 Dear Mr. Goodrich: On behalf of the Crown Mobile Home Park, we are pleased to submit an application package for an Authorization to Construct Permit (ATC) with supporting documentation for the Crown Mobile Home WWTP. Please find enclosed the following documents: 1. Three sets of Detailed Plans and Specifications (8'/2"x I I"format). 2. Two sets of design calculations. 3. Two sets of Flow Schematic 0/2"x I I"format). 4. A Construction Sequence Plan is not provided. Temporary by-pass piping will be provided during installation of equalization basin. 5. Special Order By Consent Application with cover letter being sent concurrently to Mr. Dave Goodrich. This application addresses the permit limitations and conditions for this facility. The ATC is needed so that an equalization basin and appurtenances can be permitted and constructed to correct the violations at the facility. As always, we thank you for your assistance and quick response to this application. Please call me or Daniel Vallero, at(919)467-1239, if you should have any questions, comments, and/or require additional information. Sincerely, Gary S. MacConnell, P.E.
