Permitting Unit
The following is in response to your request for additional information regarding the Single -
Family Residence Wastewater Irrigation System Application (WQ0031593) for the property
located at 117 Lexington Drive in Chatham County:
A. Cover Letter:
1. Narrative was revised to clearly explain which units were newly proposed and which were previously
permitted.
B. Application Fee:
1. No Comments
C. Application:
1. Applicants have been changed to deeded properly owners.
2. There are no setback waivers for the proposed facility, corrections have been made to Section V Item
20.
3. Section VI Item 2 has all previously permitted units removed.
4. The irrigation field and its drip lines are the same, but this design modification now proposes 4 zones
instead of the previously permitted 6 Zones. Section VII Item 3 was left in the application because it
specifies the proposed 4 zones. Section VII Item 4 has notes on both tables stating "previously permitted."
D. Existing Permit:
1. Application now includes the most recent permit.
E. Property Ownership Documentation.
1. Application now includes most recent deed with deeded property owners as the applicants.
F. Soil Evaluation:
1. There are no modifications to the irrigation sites, the Soils Evaluation has been removed from
application.
G. Engineering Plans:
1. All previously permitted items that have not moved have been noted on site plans. Please note, while
many of the previously permitted units remain the same, some of the system's design configuration has
changed. For example, the two UV units are now located in the recirculation tank instead of its own
housing after the field dosing tank. The K-Rain indexing valve has been replaced with an electric solenoid
(zone) valve, ect. These proposed design modifications of the system's configuration reflect E-Z Treat's
most current technology. Please see Project Narrative for details of proposed modifications and
previously permitted units.
2. Details are of proposed pumps can be found on sheet E-101
3. A hydraulic profile has been provided on sheet C-103
H. Specifications:
1. For the ease of the installer and the client, all specifications were left in. For the ease of the reviewer,
all previously permitted sections were labeled. Given that tank volumes and systematic configurations
are not described or called out (with many references made to the manufacturer's specifications), all
sections of the project specifications are arguably "previously permitted" and have been labeled as such.
I. Engineering Calculations:
1. No Comments
I Site Map:
1. No Comments
K. Operation & Maintenance Plan:
1. No Comments
L. Operation and Maintenance Agreement:
1. The Operations and Maintenance Agreement has been signed by all deeded property owners.
M. County Health Department Denial Letter:
1. N/A
N. Floodway Regulation Compliance:

Surface Drip Irrigation
The Owner(s) of the above mentioned lot located in Chatham County, North Carolina have been
informed that the property is not suitable for a subsurface wastewater disposal system, and
therefore proposes to construct a surface drip irrigation system utilizing a septic tank, E-Z Treat
recirculating media filter, E-Z Treat recirculation tank, field dosing tank, E-Z Set drip irrigation
system, E-Z Set drip irrigation tubing and the necessary appurtenances.
The lot was previously permitted for a 4-bedroom (480 GPD) single family residence surface
irrigation permit in 2007 and again in 2016; a copy can be found in the Application Form &
Supplemental Documentation section of this application package. However, the Owner(s) wish to
increase number of permitted bedrooms to five. We have found the lot has sufficient treatment
and disposal capability for a five -bedroom dwelling with a 20% flow reduction. The treatment
system will be sized for a 5-bedroom dwelling with an unadjusted flow of 600-GPD, and the
irrigation system will be sized for the adjusted flow of 480-GPD. Please contact Pretreatment,
Emergency Response & Collection Systems Branch (PERCS) Unit for the flow reduction
approval.
Upon inspection, it was noticed that some technologies were out of date and tank sizes were too
large, which has led to the redesign of this previously permitted system.
Previoush Permitted:
2,400-gallon recirculation tank
4,650-gallon field dosing tank
3/ HP Zoeller (field dosing) Pump
Two 10 GPM UV Disinfection Units
K-Rain Indexing Valve
Drip irrigation area consisting of 6 Zones
Proposed Modification:
Replace with 1,000-gallon recirculation tank
Replace with 4,500-gallon field dosing tank
Replace with Sta-Rite Step 20'/2 HP
Relocate to housing recirculation tank
Electric Solenoid
Same drip irrigation area consisting of 4 Zones
Please note, the septic tank and E-Z Treat Pod Model No. 600 will remain the same. The irrigation
site will also remain the same (same location, area, and linear feet), except now the field will be
divided into four zones instead of six. As such, no additional soils work has been submitted.
The proposed wastewater treatment and disposal system does not have any conflicts with existing
utilities in the area. The system also maintains all the buffers required in the 15A NCAC 02T
.0600 rules amended January 1, 2009. The proposed systems shall meet all of the requirements
and specifications outlined in: Innovative Wastewater System Approval No: IWWS-2015-03-R2
and Innovative Wastewater System Approval No: IWWS-2007-1-R1.
Septic, E-Z Treat Recirculation, and Field Dosing Tank
The proposed wastewater treatment system will provide both anaerobic treatment and solids
removal in a new 1,500 gallon septic tank. This tank will provide greater than 48 hours of detention
providing for adequate anaerobic treatment and solids removal from the wastewater. Septic tank
effluent will drain into the E-Z Treat recirculation tank as wastewater flows into the septic tank.
The septic tank will contain a Polylok PL-122, SIM/TECH STF-110 or approved equal effluent
filter to prevent solids from reaching the E-Z Treat recirculation tank.
The E-Z Treat recirculation tank is a new 1,000 gallon pump tank. The E-Z Treat recirculation
tank will serve as a holding tank for both the septic tank effluent and.E-Z Treat treatment unit
effluent. An effluent bypass valve located in the E-Z Treat recirculation tank will separate the
flow once the E-Z Treat treatment unit is dosed. The effluent will be returned to the E-Z Treat
recirculation tank until the bypass valve is closed, the remaining effluent will then flow to a field
dosing tank. Effluent will be recirculated through the E-Z Treat treatment unit until additional
septic tank effluent enters the E-Z Treat recirculation tank causing the bypass valve to close.
The field dosing tank is a new 4,500 gallon tank. The influent to the filed dosing tank will be
disinfected prior to entering the tank to prevent re -growth within the tank. The field dosing tank
will provide greater than 5 days of storage time per 15A NCAC 02T .0605 (m).
E-Z Treat Treatment Unit (Previously Permitted)
The Model 600 E-Z Treat treatment unit will be used to provide additional treatment to the septic
tank effluent as well as removing any suspended solids not removed by the septic tank. The E-Z
Treat treatment unit includes housing, piped distribution system, sprinkler heads, and styrene
media. The underdrain system will transport the E-Z Treat treatment unit effluent back through
an effluent bypass valve into one of the dosing tanks.
Ultraviolet Disinfection (Previously Permitted)
The effluent from the E-Z Treat recirculation tank will be disinfected by ultraviolet light prior to
entering the field dosing tank and being irrigated. The ultraviolet disinfection unit shall be by E-
Z Treat ( Model E-Z UV 102) or approved equal by engineer.
E-Z Set Drip Wastewater Drip Irrigation System (Previously Permitted)
The E-Z Set drip irrigation system consists of the field dosing controls, vortex filter, hydraulic
unit, and pump used to dose the irrigation zones. The system controls determine when the pump
doses the disposal field. The vortex filter provides even greater filtration to insure that solids in
the effluent do not clog the drip irrigation line emitters. The drip field will require fill to meet the
vertical distance from the perched seasonal high-water table
Drip Irrigation Lines (Previously Permitted)
The drip irrigation lines are dosed by the hydraulic unit. These lines consist of a hollow pipe filled
with pressure compensating drip emitters spaced on two -foot intervals. These emitters insure that
there is uniform distribution of the treated wastewater throughout the irrigation zones. The drip
lines will follow the contour lines at three-foot horizontal spacing and make a complete loop back
to the dosing tank. This insures that proper pressure is maintained in the drip lines and that there
is a means for flushing the lines in the instance that they become clogged.
Rain Sensor (Previously Permitted)
A Hunter Mini-Clik rain sensor is included in the wastewater design to ensure that irrigation does
not occur during precipitation events.
