Buncombe County
Dear Ms. Guyer:
General Permit Coverage. In accordance with your application for discharge,the Division of
Water Quality(DWR)herewith forwards the subject Certificate of Coverage(COC)to discharge under
the subject state-NPDES general permit.This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North
Carolina General Statue 143-215 .1 and the Memorandwn of Agreement between North Carolina and the
US Environmental Protection agency dated October 15,2007(or as subsequently amended). Your permit
package includes:
A copy of the Certificate of Coverage for your treatment facility

13 A copy of a Technical Bulletin for General Wastewater Discharge Permit NCG550000
A copy of the approved drawings, signed December 9, 2013 (with modification to page 2 to
removing 50 micron filter bag).
Engineer's Certification form(to be completed and returned to DWR).
DWR understands from your authorized consultant,Altamont Environmental,Inc. of Asheville that local
soils,both on and offsite,exhibit poor percolation characteristics rendering them unsuitable for a
subsurface discharge wastewater treatment system. We further understand that connecting to the nearest
municipal sewer service is cost prohibitive at a distance of 3.2 miles.We concur therefore that discharge
to surface waters of the State is the most viable discharge alternative.
In accord with existing regulations,you have proposed to discharge 480 gallons per day(gpd)from a
four(4)bedroom single family residence(120 gpd per bedroom).Please note that compliance under this
COC restricts discharge to 100%domestic flow,not to exceed 1,000 gpd. This discharge must meet all
surface water-quality standards, and you must comply with DWR's operation and maintenance
requirements.
Operation and Maintenance. The Permittee is responsible to maintain all components in the approved
treatment system. Compliance includes following manufacturer's guidelines, conducting and
documenting inspections, establishing sources for OEM spare parts and supplies,making necessary
repairs, and documenting said maintenance for the duration of the permit.
Upon DWR's request,the Permittee must provide records and demonstrate efforts to maintain the
approved system. The Division recommends that the Permittee solicit manufacture-certified training, or
employ a qualified contractor or service to regularly inspect and maintain the treatment system.

If any parts,measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this general permit are
unacceptable,you have the right to request an individual permit by submitting an individual permit
application.Unless such demand is made,the certificate of coverage shall be final and binding.
Thu
COC is nit tra �lr ept aftr notice to the Division of Water Resources. The Division may AN"
req 're mocca ion or revocation and teissuance of the COC. This permit does not affect the legal

accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C.
The Permittee or responsible Engineer shall notify DWR's Asheville Regional Office(828-296-4500)a

1083 Reems Creek Road,Weaverville 28787
Buncombe County
Dear Ms. Guyer:
General Permit Coverage. In accordance with your application for discharge,the Division'of
Water Quality(DWR)herewith forwards the subject Certificate of Coverage(COC)to discharge under
the subject state-NPDES general permit.This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North
Carolina General Statue 143-215 .1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the
US Environmental Protection agency dated October 15,2007(or as subsequently amended). Your permit
package includes:
A copy of the Certificate of Coverage for your treatment facility
o A copy of General Wastewater Discharge Permit NCG550000
A copy of a Technical Bulletin for General Wastewater Discharge Permit NCG550000
13 A copy of the approved drawings, signed December 9, 2013.
o Engineer's Certification form(to be completed and returned to DWR).
DWR understands from your authorized consultant,Altamont Environmental,Inc. of Asheville that local
soils,both on and offsite,exhibit poor percolation characteristics rendering them unsuitable for a
subsurface discharge wastewater treatment system. We further understand that connecting to the nearest
municipal sewer service is cost prohibitive at.a distance of 3.2 miles.We concur therefore that discharge
to surface waters of the State is the most viable discharge alternative.
In accord with existing regulations,you have proposed to discharge 480 gallons per day(gpd)from a
four(4)bedroom single family residence(120 gpd per bedroom).Please note that compliance under this
COC restricts discharge to 100% domestic flow,not to exceed 1,000 gpd. This discharge must meet all
surface water-quality standards,and you must comply with DWR's operation and maintenance
requirements.
Operation and Maintenance. The Permittee is responsible to maintain all components in the approved
treatment system. Compliance includes following manufacturer's guidelines,conducting and
documenting inspections,establishing sources for OEM spare parts and supplies,making necessary
repairs, and documenting said maintenance for the duration of the permit.
Upon DWR's request,the Permittee must provide records and demonstrate efforts to maintain the
approved system. The Division,recommends that the Permittee solicit manufacture-certified training, or
employ a qualified contractor or service to regularly inspect and maintain the treatment system.
If any parts,measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this general permit are
unacceptable,you have the right to request an individual permit by submitting an individual permit
application.Unless such demand is made,the certificate of coverage shall be final and binding.

requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Resources or
permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal
or Local governmental pen-nit that may be required.
This system is proposed to'discharge to Reems Creek surface waters classified as Class C; Trout(Tr).

The Permittee or responsible Engineer shall notify DWR's Asheville Regional Office(828-296-4500)a
minimum of three 3)working days in advance of operating the installed facilities. This will serve to
provide DWR an opportunity to inspect facilities,as needed. Such notification to the regional office

1.0 Executive Summary
This Supplemental Information for the General Permit Application (SI Report) provides information for a
proposed recirculation sand filtration system (see Figures 1 through 9 for engineering drawings)to serve a
residence at 1083 Reems Creek Road in Weaverville, North Carolina. The system is sized to serve a four-
bedroom house. The treated effluent will discharge into Reems Creek.
This SI Report includes, among other relevant material,the following pertinent information:
• An analysis of the feasibility of connection to an available community sewer(municipal or other)for
the proposed site (see Section 4.3.1).
• A letter from the Buncombe County Health Department describing the suitability or non-suitability of
the site for all types of wastewater ground absorption systems (see Appendix A).
• A letter from a North Carolina Soil Scientist, which states there is.no available surface disposal (spray
irrigation or drip irrigation) alternative available (see Appendix B).
• A description that no additional adjacent property is available for alternative treatment of the
wastewater(see Section 4.3.2).

2.0 Introduction
Ms.Asia Guyer(Ms. Guyer) contacted Altamont Environmental, Inc. (Altamont) regarding the development of
a residential property, 1083 Reems Creek Road (the site), located in Buncombe County, North Carolina. Ms.
Guyer plans to build a residential home on the site, and contacted Altamont to perform the engineering
services related to the permitting and design of a residential wastewater treatment system at the address
mentioned above. The federally regulated National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)
program ensures all point source discharges are properly permitted. In North Carolina,the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources(DENR) Division of Water Quality(DWQ) is responsible
for administering the State's NPDES Permitting and Compliance Program.
The site will be a domestic discharge from a single-family residence with a design flow below 1,000 gallons
per day, and therefore qualifies for an NPDES General Permit NCG550000.
This Supplemental Information (SI) Report provides information related to the site and proposed wastewater
system to accompany the General Permit Application for an NCG550000 Permit.

Asia Guyer-1083 Reems Creek Road Page 3
3.0 Background
An initial investigation in 2007 determined the following:
• The existing soil conditions for this site do not permit non-discharge types of wastewater systems,
such as traditional septic, drip, or spray irrigation. Therefore, alternatives for wastewater disposal
are pumping the effluent to an adjacent property or using an on-site discharge system.
• The property is a 7-acre tract located along Reems Creek Road in Weaverville, North Carolina. The
Buncombe County parcel identification number(PIN) is 9763-51-7092-00000.
• A letter from the Buncombe County Health Center dated February 24, 2004 (Appendix A)stated that
the site is"UNSUITABLE for a ground absorption sewage system." The site was deemed unsuitable
by the County in the February 24, 2004 letter for the following reasons, citing Title 15A Subchapter
18A of the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC):
° Unsuitable soil wetness condition (Rule .1942)
° Unsuitable soil depth (Rule .1943)
Insufficient space for septic system and repair area (Rule .1950)
Additionally, Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA(S&EC) performed a preliminary soil and site evaluation
on the site in 2007 (Appendix B). This evaluation revealed that the site was unsuitable for surface systems
such as spray or drip.
Given that site soil conditions are unsuitable for a surface disposal system,Altamont contacted Mr.Jeff
Menzel of the DWQ Surface Water Protection Section. The Surface Water Protection Section is the
regulatory agency that reviews surface water discharge permit applications. The permit needed for this site
would be an NPDES General Permit NCG550000. Larry Frost provided a reference letter dated April 26,
2006 (Appendix C), which states that the following information is required to obtain an NPDES permit to
discharge wastewater:
• A letter addressing the feasibility of connection to an available community sewer(municipal or other)
for the proposed site.
• A letter from the Buncombe County Health Department describing the suitability or non-suitability of
the site for all types of wastewater ground absorption systems.
• A letter from a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist, which states there is no available surface
disposal (spray irrigation or drip irrigation of treated wastewater) alternative available.
• A letter of justification from the applicant that no additional adjacent property is available for any of
the above types of disposal system.

Asia Guyer-1083 Reems Creek Road Page 4
4.0 Supplemental Information
4.1 Determination Whether Proposed Discharge is Allowed
4.1.1 Zero-Flow Stream Restrictions and 7Q10 Flow Estimation
In a preliminary assessment on September 7, 2012, Mr.John Weaver, hydrologist with the United States
Geologic Survey(USGS) North Carolina Water Science Center, confirmed that stream flow at the proposed
discharge location is above zero (Appendix D). Because the receiving stream is not a zero-flow stream,the
effluent limitations of the wastewater discharge will be determined according to 15A NCAC 2B.0206(a), and
the proposed discharge is not likely to be prohibited.
4.1.2 Receiving Stream Classification Restrictions
Various high quality streams have restrictions on discharge requirements and require stricter treatment
standards than lesser quality streams. The receiving stream, Reems Creek, is classified as Class C(C) and
Trout Waters Jr) (Appendix E). According to 15A NCAC 2B.0101, Class C waters are secondary use waters
protected for recreation,fishing, wildlife,fish consumption, biological integrity, and agriculture, and trout
waters are protected to sustain and allow for trout propagation and survival on a year-round basis.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 0213.0201, High Quality Waters (HQW)and Outstanding Resource Waters
(ORW)are subsets of waters with a quality higher than the standards and degradation shall not be allowed
below the water quality necessary to maintain existing and anticipated uses of those waters. Reems Creek
is not classified as either HQW or ORW, and is therefore subject to water-quality-based effluent limitations in
accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0211. Furthermore, stream classification restrictions are not likely to
prohibit the proposed discharge to Reems Creek.
4.1.3 Basinwide Water Quality Plans
The receiving water body, Reems Creek, is within the 1,658-square-mile Upper French Broad subbasin.
More specifically, Reems Creek is within the 235.8-square-mile Sandymush Creek watershed 10-digit
hydraulic unit code (HUC) 0601010509. In accordance with the Engineering Alternatives Analysis(EAA)
Guidance Document(DENR DWQ 2005),the 2011 French Broad Basinwide Water Quality Plan (BWQP)
(Tutwiler and Clark 2011),which contains the receiving water body, was located and referenced for
restricting limitations. The basin-specific plan does not list any NPDES permitting strategies or limitations on
the receiving water body, Reems Creek.
4.1.4 Impaired Waters and Total Maximum Daily Loads
The term "303(d) list" is short for the list of impaired and threatened waters (stream/river segments, lakes)
that the Clean Water Act requires all states to submit for US Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) approval
every two years on even-numbered years. The states identify all waters where required pollution controls are
not sufficient to attain or maintain applicable water quality standards, and establish priorities for
development of total maximum daily loads(TMDLs) based on the severity of the pollution and the sensitivity
of the uses to be made of the waters, among other factors (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR]
§130.7[b][4])
The receiving water body, Reems Creek, is not listed on the NC 2010 Integrated Report Category 5-303(d)
List Approved by the EPA August 31, 2010, or the 2012 NC 303(d)Lists-Category 5. Consequently, Reems
Creek is not listed as impaired and does not have a TMDL or draft TMDL; nor is it likely a future TMDL will be
developed without first placing this water body on the 303(d) list. Therefore the proposed wastewater
discharge from the site is not likely to have an impact on impaired streams or those with TMDLs.

Federally listed endangered and threatened species are designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
and are protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Habitat for endangered and
threatened species is of utmost importance; consequently, NPDES discharges into streams that may
negatively impact endangered or threatened species habitat are not environmentally advantageous.
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP), which is part of the Office of Conservation, Planning,
and Community Affairs within DENR, is responsible for maintaining inventories and catalogues of
outstanding elements of natural diversity within NC. Altamont contacted the NPH on September 7, 2012 in
regards to the site and the presence of endangered species within the discharge location on Reems Creek.
On September 11, 2012, Stephen Hall of the NHP provided documentation (Appendix F)stating that:
"The Natural Heritage Program has no records of any rare species, significant natural communities,
or priority natural areas at the project site nor within a mile of the project area. No endangered
aquatic species have been recorded downstream from the proposed discharge point to the
confluence of Reems Creek with the French Broad River."
Therefore, it is not likely that the proposed discharge will adversely affect endangered or threatened species
habitat near the site.
4.2 Reasonable Projections for Population and Flow
The site is not part of an existing or proposed expansion of a municipal wastewater treatment plant and
therefore the non-municipal flow projections were made in accordance with the anticipated future
development as a residential property.
The DWQ EAA Guidance Document dated June 23, 2005 requests non-municipal flow projections be made
in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0219(1). However, since the publication of this guidance document,the
above-referenced rule was repealed on September 1, 2006. Consequently, the projected flow was based on
15A NCAC 02T .0114, where the flow rate is 120 gallons per day for each bedroom. Ms.Asia Guyer plans to
maintain a residential home with a maximum of four bedrooms; therefore,the 20-year projection for flow is
480 gallons per day.
4.3 Evaluation of Technologically Feasible Alternatives
4.3.1 Connection to Existing Wastewater Treatment Plant
The nearest sewer system maintained by the Buncombe County Metropolitan Sewerage System (MSD)of
Buncombe County is approximately 3.2 mires west near the intersection of Reems Creek Road and Union
Chapel Road. The expense of constructing a sanitary sewer line to this location would be several times the
cost of the property itself, and therefore is not a feasible option.
Kevin Johnson of Buncombe County MSD was contacted on September 11, 2012 regarding future plans to
expand the MSD system to the site. Mr.Johnson stated that at this time, MSD has no plans to construct or
expand service near the site within the next 5 years. Because MSD is unlikely to construct a sewer system
to the site within the next 5 years, it would not be advisable for Ms. Guyer to assume MSD will construct a
sewer system to serve the site. Therefore, Ms. Guyer should consider alternative wastewater treatment
options.
4.3.2 Land Application Alternatives
P:\Guyer NPDES System\Info For Permit\Supinfo-Report Mb.Docx

Supplemental Information for General Permit Application July23, 2013
Asia Guyer-1083 Reems Creek Road Page 6
Land application alternatives include on-site subsurface systems, drip irrigation, and spray irrigation. The
size of a subsurface disposal field is determined by the anticipated design flow and the Long-Term
Acceptance Rate(LTAR). The proposed residential home will have a maximum of four bedrooms, and the
anticipated daily flow based on 15A NCAC 02T .0114, where the flow rate is 120 gallons per day for each
bedroom, is 480 gallons per day. In 2007, S&EC performed a preliminary soil and site evaluation,signed
and sealed by a licensed soil scientist,Steven M. Price, on the site (Appendix B). The following information
was included in the report:
• The site is located within the floodplain of Reems Creek.
• The soils consist of sandy loam surface material over a sandy clay loam to clay loam subsoil.
• The group III (LTAR) is 0.2 gallons per day per square foot(it was noted that the health department
will determine the ultimate LTAR after its evaluation).
• The site was unsuitable for surface systems such as spray or drip.
Additionally, a letter from the Buncombe County Health Department dated February 24, 2004 (Appendix A)
stated that the site is "UNSUITABLE for aground absorption sewage system." The site was deemed
unsuitable by the County in the February 24, 2004 letter for the following reasons, citing Title 15A
Subchapter 18A of NCAC:
• Unsuitable soil wetness condition (Rule .1942)
• Unsuitable soil depth (Rule .1943)
• Insufficient space for septic system and repair area (Rule .1950)
Soil wetness conditions less than 36 inches below the naturally occurring soil surface shall be considered
UNSUITABLE for a ground absorption sewage system (i.e., traditional septic system) (15A NCAC 18A .1942).
Furthermore, 24 inches of suitable soil is required for a modified septic tank system (15A NCAC 18A .1956).
Therefore,the site is not suitable for either a ground absorption system or a modified septic tank system.
Based on the above-mentioned information, the necessary area for a land application system and repair
field is 4,800 square feet(480 gallons per day/0.2 gallons per day per square foot x 2). Because no area
is suitable on the site,the only alternative for land application requires the purchase of adjacent land from
neighboring property owners.
According to the available Flood Insurance Rate Map(FIRM) effective date May 6, 1996 (Appendix G), it
appears all neighboring land is also in the floodplain and likely unsuitable. According to Ms. Guyer,the
property located to the west is often flooded and beaver activity has increased flooding of this area.
Therefore,the property is likely unsuitable due to wetness conditions and was not investigated further.
Reems Creek borders the property to the South of the site, and therefore property to the South was not
investigated further. Reems Creek Road borders the property to the North, and it would not be economically
feasible to pump below the roadway. Therefore, property to the north was not investigated further.
A due diligence effort was made to contact the eastern property owners, Mr. and Mrs. Mendenhall,to
ascertain their willingness to sell or lease land for this purpose. Ms. Guyer sent a letter to Mr.and Mrs.
Mendenhall describing her intent to build a residential home on 1083 Reems Creek Drive,and inquiring
whether or not they would be willing to lease or sell land,which could be used as a wastewater drainage
field. The Mendenhalls did not respond, nor is their property anticipated to be any better suited for a land
application wastewater system. Consequently, land application is not a viable option on-site or on adjacent
property.
4.3.3 Wastewater Reuse
P:\Guyer NPDES System\Info For Permit\Supinfo-Report Mb.Docx

Supplemental Information for General Permit Application July 23, 2013
Asia Guyer-1083 Reems Creek Road Page 7
Wastewater reuse applications typically include golf course irrigation, crop irrigation, athletic field irrigation,
toilet flushing, and industrial uses. According the EAA Guidance Document(DENR 2005), although the
wastewater may undergo varying levels of treatment prior to land application,the wastewater must still meet
the design requirements in 15A NCAC 2H.0219. The above rule has since been repealed on September 1,
2006.
The site is located within a floodplain and prone to frequent flooding;furthermore,from the previous analysis
of land application alternatives (Section 4.3.2),the site is unsuitable for land application. According to 15A
NCAC 02U .0402, reclaimed water irrigation systems shall not exceed the recommended precipitation rate in
the soils repdkt, and due to the unsuitability of the soil for land application, it is unlikely the soils would be
conducive for irrigation purposes. Furthermore, if alterative reuse strategies were employed such as
graywater used in toilet flushing,the wastewater would still require treatment prior to being discharged and
land application is already considered unsuitable. Consequently, wastewater reuse is not a reasonable
alternative.
4.3.4 Combination of the Above
A letter from the Buncombe County Health Center dated February 24, 2004(Appendix A)stated that the site
is "UNSUITABLE for aground absorption sewage system." It is not possible to operate aground absorption
system during the dry season, due to soil unsuitability, and operate an NPDES discharge permit during the
wet season when soils may not be as amenable to land application. Any combination involving ground
absorption is a non-viable alternative.
A wastewater reuse system will lead to an NPDES discharge permit since the discharge cannot be utilized in
a ground absorption system. If connection to existing sewer were possible,this would be the preferred
alternative. However, no connection is feasible at this time, and therefore, no combinations exist involving
sewer connection.
4.4 Reliability
The system will contain two electric pumps connected to a control panel. Treated effluent will pass through
static disinfection contact chambers prior to discharge. In the event of a power failure,the control panel and
pumps will not function. The system serves as a private system that will automatically shut-off at power
failure and does not include elevated water storage tanks. The system is supplied by a well that would stop
supplying water for further use in the event of a power outage.

Dear Mr. Rosenberger: {
The Buncombe County Health Center, Environmental Health Division on February 9, 2004
evaluated the above-referenced property at the site designated on the plat/site plan that
accompanied your application. According to your application the site is to serve a 3-bedroom
residence with a design wastewater flow of 360 gallons per day. The evaluation was done in f
accordance with the laws and rules governing wastewater systems in North Carolina General C
Statute 130A-333 and related statutes and Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina
Administrative Code,Rule. 1900 and related rules.
Based.on the criteria set out in Title 15A, Subchapter 18A,of the North Carolina Administrative
Code, Rules .1940 through .1948, the evaluation indicated that the site is UNSUITABLE for a
ground absorption sewage system. Therefore, your request for an improvement permit is
DENIED. The site is unsuitable based on the following:
Unsuitable soil topography and/or landscape position(Rule.1940)
I
Unsuitable soil characteristics(structure or clay mineralogy)(Rule.1941)
X Unsuitable soil wetness condition(Rule .1942)
X Unsuitable soil depth(Rule .1943)
Presence of restrictive horizon(Rule.1944)
X� Insufficient space for septic system and repair area(Rule .1945)
Unsuitable for meeting required setbacks(Rule .1950)
Other(Rule.1946)
I
The site evaluation included consideration of possible site modifications, and modified, innovative
or alternative systems. However,the Buncombe County Health Center has determined that none of
the above options will overcome the conditions on this site. A possible option might be a system
designed to dispose of sewage to another area of suitable soil or off-site to additional property.

Re: Soil/Site Evaluation for+7 acres located offlteems Creek Road in Bun-m m----®--®®®------
County,NC
Dear fir. Dow;
Soil&Environmental Consultants,PA. (S&EQ performed a preliminary soil and site
evaluation on the above referenced tract. This was performed at your request to
determine if there are any areas of soil that have potential for subsurface wastewater
disposal.
S&EC traversed the property and observed landforms(slope, drainage patterns, past use,
etc.)as well as soil conditions(depth,texture, structure, seasonal wetness, restrictive
horizons, etc.)through the use of hand auger borings. From these observations, an
evaluation of the site, relative to subsurface disposal of wastewater, was developed. Soil
areas were estimated in the field. The soil/site evaluation criteria used is that contained in
15 A NCAC 18A.1900"Laws and Rules for Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems".
FINDINGS
The site is located within the floodplain of Reems Creek. The soils on this tract consisted
of a sandy loam surface material over a sandy clay loam to clay loam subsoil. There was
only one potentially usable soil boring which was 15 inches deep to prohibitive soil
characteristics and would only be usable for a drip irrigation system. The remainder of 1
the soil borings were less than 12 inches to either rock or soil wetness conditions, and are
unsuitable for subsurface septic systems. The borings were also unsuitable for surface
systems such as spray or drip. However, with these systems fill could potentially be
brought in to make the site potentially usable. Additional testing would be required to
pursue this option.
The accompanying map shows the approximate location of some of the soil borings made
during the site visit and the depth of usable soil. The boring that is labeled 15 inches is at
least 15 inches deep to prohibitive soil characteristics and is potentially usable for a
subsurface drip irrigation system. However,there is not enough usable area. The only
options I see for this tract is to inquire with the neighbors about purchasing potentially
usable land or pursuing a different tract of land. {

The site plan for the lot must ensure that adequate soil area for system and repair is
unaffected by site elements(house placement, driveway, wells, patios, decks, etc.)on that
or adjacent lots. The area ultimately designated by the health department on the site plan
for the septic system and repair must remain undisturbed (no mechanical clearing, `
excavation,heavy traffic or other significant site disturbing activities)until authorized by
the health department. A lot with initially adequate useable soil area may be rendered
unusable as a result of improper site planning and/or disturbance. A field layout of the
proposed septic systems may be required as part of the individual lot development
process.
GENERAL WASTEWATER CONSIDERATIONS
Once potentially useable areas are located through vertical borings, the next consideration
is the horizontal extent of those areas. The size and configuration of the useable soil area
dictate the utility of that area. The size of a subsurface disposal field is determined by: 1)
the design flow from the source(120 gallons/bedroom/day in residences), and 2)the long
term acceptance rate(LTAI2) of the soil(based on the hydraulic conductivity of the soil,
a function of the soil's texture, mineralogy,structure, porosity, etc.). The configuration
must be such that an efficient layout of disposal lines(on contour)is possible. An
additional consideration is the required setbacks for the system from various elements
such as wells(100'), streams and ponds(50') or more(depending on watershed
regulations), property lines(10'),top of embankment(15% watershed buffers, etc. (see
Attachment 1).
The utility of a potential useable soil area for a subsurface system is most accurately
determined by an on-ground layout of the proposed system. The total area needed for
system and repair areas will depend upon the system type, the layout of that system and
the total design flow(factors mentioned above). A typical area needed for a 480 gallon
per day system is approximately 7,000 to 9,000 ft2(could be more depending on site
features)for system and repair. These estimates reference Laws and Rules for Sewage
Treatment and Disposal Systems for North Carolina and use a group III LIAR of 0.2
gpd/ft2 for a drip irrigation system. The health department will determine the ultimate
LTAR after their lot evaluation. S&EC will be glad to assist in any system layout or
sizing calculations,if requested.
This report discusses the general location of potentially useable soils for on-site
subsurface wastewater disposal and, of course, does not constitute or imply any approval
or permit as needed by the client from the local heath department. S&EC is a
professional consulting firm that specializes in the delineation of soil areas for
wastewater disposal and the layout and design of wastewater treatment systems. As a
professional consulting firm, S&EC is hired for its professional opinion in these matters.
The rules governing wastewater treatment(interpreted and governed by local and state
agencies)are evolving constantly, and in many cases, affected by the opinions of
individuals employed by these governing agencies. Because of this, S&EC cannot -
guarantee that areas delineated and/or systems designed will be permitted by the
governing agencies. As always, S&EC recommends that anyone making financial

commitments on a tract be fully aware of individual permit requirements on that tract
prior to final action.
Soil&Environmental Consultants, PA. is pleased to be of service in this matter and we
look forward to assisting in any site analysis needs you may have in the future. Please
feel free to call with any questions or comments.

Dear Mr. Varner:
I
Below is the information you requested regarding a permit to discharge wastewater generated at a
single-family residence (or a small generator) that does not have a traditional septic tank and I
distribution field as an option. In order for the Division of Water Quality to comply with 15A NCAC 2H
.0105 (c) (3), all other wastewater treatment and disposal alternatives must be explored prior to
considering a discharge option. To obtain a permit to discharge wastewater the.following criteria
must be met:
• A letter addressing the feasibility of connection to an available community sewer (municipal or
other) for the proposed site.
• A letter from the Buncombe County Health Department describing the suitability or non-suitability
of the site for ALL types of wastewater ground adsorption systems. l
® A letter from a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist, which states there is no available surface
disposal (spray irrigation or drip irrigation of treated wastewater.) alternative available. (Must be
stamped and signed with his/her professional seal.) 1
a A letter of justification from the applicant that no additional adjacent property is available for any of
the above types of disposal system. This should be both a financial justification and an
environmental justification referencing; ground adsorption, spray irrigation and drip irrigation
wastewater systems.

In response to your inquiry about low-flow characteristics fora location on Reems Creek near Beech in northeastern
Buncombe County,the following information is provided:
A check of the low-flow files here at the USGS North Carolina Water Science Center does not indicate a previous low-flow
determination for your point of interest on Reems Creek. No USGS discharge records are likewise known to exist for your
point of interest;
In the absence of site-specific discharge records sufficient for a low-flow analysis,estimates of low flow characteristics at
ungaged locations are determined by assessing a range in the low-flow yields(expressed as flow per square mile
drainage area,of cfsm)at nearby sites where such estimates have previously been determined.
The low-flow files indicate the closest downstream location on Reems Creek where low-flow characteristics have
previously been determined(in 1988)is at Secondary Road 2103 at Pleasant Grove(station id 0345175485,drainage
area 21.6 sgmi). The 7Q10 was estimated using a low flow yield of about 0.12-cfsm,and the 30Q2 was estimated using a
low-flow yield of about 0.20 cfsm,based on the flow characteristics determined at a USGS partial-record site on Reems
Creek at Alexander(station id 03451890,drainage area 36.3 sgmi)
For streams in Buncombe County,the most recently published low-flow information is a statewide report completed in the
early 1990's. It is USGS Water-Supply Paper 2403,'Low-flow characteristics of streams in North Carolina"(Giese and
Mason, 1993). An online version of the report is available through http:f/pubs usgs. cq v/wsp/2403freport.pdf. The report
provides the tow-flow characteristics(based on data through 1988)via regional relations and at-site values for sites with y
drainage basins between 1 and 400 sgmi and not considered or known to be affected by regulation and/or diversions.
{
Based on 8 nearby sites in vicinity of your point of interest where low-flow characteristics were published in the statewide
report,the 7Q10 yields range from 0.055 to 0.26 cfsm(average approximately 0.15 cfsm). In a similar manner,the 30Q2
yields range from 0.18 to 0.48 cfsm(average approximately 0.30 cfsm).
A drainage-area delineation for this stream location completed using the online NC StreamStats application
(http:/twater.usgs.gov/osw/streamstats/north carolina.htm!)indicates the drainage area is approximately 9 sgmi.
Y
Applying the range in 7Q10 yields to the drainage area for your point of interest results in an estimated range for 7Q10
discharge between 0.5 and 2.3 cubic feet per second(cfs). In a similar manner,applying the range in 30Q2 yields to the
drainage area for your point of interest results in an estimated range for 3002 discharge between 1.6 and 4.3 cubic feet
per second(cfs).
Please note the low-flow characteristics in the statewide report are based on data ending during the late 1980's and do
not reflect the occurrence of recent droughts,which have resulted in decreased tow-flow statistics at some USGS gaging
stations.
Please understand this information is based on a preliminary assessment. Further analyses would be needed to confirm
the initial assessments,and a fee of$250 per site is required for completion of a more in-depth assessment and formal
determination of estimates QQ10,30Q2,winter 7Q10, 7Q2,and average flow). If you want us to complete a more in-
depth assessment,please provide a contact name and address for billing purposes and well proceed from there. The
assessment would be completed within four to six weeks,and the response would be made via email with an invoice

i

mailed separately via regular mail following;the provision of estimates.
Hope this information is helpful:
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Varner:
Below is the information you requested regarding a permit to discharge wastewater generated at a
single-family residence (or a small generator) that does not have a traditional septic tank and
distribution field as an option. In order for the Division of Water Quality to comply with 15A NCAC 2H
.0105 (c) (3), all other wastewater treatment and disposal alternatives must be explored prior to
considering a discharge option. To obtain a permit to discharge wastewater the.following criteria
must be met:
• A letter addressing the feasibility of connection to an available community sewer (municipal or
other) for the proposed site.
• A letter from the Buncombe County Health Department describing the suitability or non-suitability
of the site for ALL types of wastewater ground adsorption systems.
• A letter from a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist, which states there is no available surface
disposal (spray irrigation or drip irrigation of treated wastewater.) alternative available. (Must be
stamped and signed with his / her professional seal.)
• A letter of justification from the applicant that no additional adjacent property is available for any of
the above types of disposal system. This should be both a financial justification and an
environmental justification referencing; ground adsorption, spray irrigation and drip irrigation
wastewater systems.

Lastly, any submitted application must include a wastewater system design, which will adequately
handle the proposed waste to be generated from the planned residence. As newly constructed
wastewater treatment and disposal systems must include a septic tank, primary and secondary (or re-
circulating) sand filters, disinfection, and post aeration apparatus. The submitted application must
include plans and specifications for the proposed wastewater treatment system.
As the Division of Water Quality considers any form of discharge to be the least desirable option,
the Asheville Regional Office will only consider an application, which includes all of the above listed
materials. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].
