MT. MITCHELL WATER& SEWER REPAIRS
Drip Irrigation System
Project Description and Engineering Rationale:
The project consists of a non-discharge disposal system for Mount Mitchell State Park
camping, maintenance and personnel barracks complex. The existing sewage treatment
system will be augmented with the installation of drip irrigation system that will provide for
septic tank effluent disposal during the period May 1 through October 30. The existing
subsurface disposal system would be operated during the period November 1 through April 30
when the park is closed to visitors and consequently flow is at a minimum.
The facility would involve a recirculating sand filter, effluent tank, Perc-Rite pump and
controls, and Perc-Rite surface drip irrigation field.
Design Capacity
The design capacity of 1800 GPD for the proposed system is based on historical flow records.
Recirculating Sand Filter
The application rate for the recirculating sand filter will be 5GPD/SF. Septic tank effluent will —
be applied to the sand bed using pressure compensating drippers to ensure uniform
distribution.
Surface Application Rate
The surface application rate of 0.20 GPD/sq. ft. is based on recommendations given in the
enclosed report(Tab 2) entitled"Soil Evaluations for Wastewater System Renovations at Mt.
Mitchell and Duke Power State Parks",December 2, 1994.
Effluent Storage Capacity
The proposed system includes 5,000 gallon effluent tank which will provide sufficient storage
capacity for the system, should the system become inoperable for a short period of time. The
enclosed Monthly Soil Moisture Balance Calculations (Tab 3) for Mt. Mitchell State Park and
Duke Power State Park Wastewater Systems indicated that there was no need for additional
storage capacity due to wet weather conditions that may be anticipated.

PART I. SOILS EVALUATION FOR WASTEWATER SYSTEM
` MT. MITCHELL STATE PARK MAINTENANCE AREA
A. INTRODUCTION
Purpose
A soils evaluation was performed on November 23, 1994 at Mt.
Mitchell State Park Maintenance area in order to determine siting
requirements for renovations to the existing failing system for the
maintenance/campsite portion of the park. The current septic field
has periodic surfacing problems that are thought to be associated
with lateral seepage of perched waters at or near the land surface.
Site Location
The site is located west of the maintenance area and across the
park road. There are two parts of the site. The first part of the
site is the existing septic field. It lies just off the west side
of the park road and on a 25 percent slope. It is approximately
0.8 acres. The second part of the site is a forested area of live,
dead and felled trees downslope of the first part. .This area is
approximately 2.5 acres.
B. NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
HEALTH SOIL EVALUATION
Procedures
The procedure for soils evaluation was taken from the NC DEHNR
Division of Environmental Health and is in accordance with North
Carolina Administrative Code T15A.18A (.1901-.1968) . These
procedures are outlined in the previous section.
Descriptions of soil profiles were prepared for 13 pits located
within the second part of the site. The 13 pits (1-4 previously
evaluated by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Health
(DEH) , 4-13 excavated by Barrett Kays and Associates) were
approximately 24. 0-30.0 in deep or to an UNSUITABLE characteristic.
The profiles descriptions include information on the following soil
characteristics:
1. topography and landscape position;
2. soil characteristics/soil morphology;
3. soil, wetness;

2
4 . soil depth; and
5. restrictive horizons.
The soil morphology investigation included in the soil profiles
included:
1. texture
2 . structure;
3. depth of horizons;
4 . matrix colors;
5. mottles; and
6. soil consistency.
The characteristics were compiled on the soil profile sheets
(Appendix A) .
A surface evaluation of the entire site was also performed in order
to assess surface runoff characteristics, vegetative cover, slope,
site location, building., trail, and campsite locations. Some of
this information is being prepared as a separate document by D.S.
Alantic, P.A. and will consist of site topographic map and location
of off-site features. Site evaluations were made in accordance
with Rules .1940 through .1948 of North Carolina Administrative
Code T15A.18A (.1901-.1968) .
Findings
The Soil Evaluation sheets show that pits 1,5.,8,9,11,12 and 13 are
UNSUITABLE for subsurface sewage disposal. Pits 2,3,4,6,7, and 10
are also UNSUITABLE but can be reclassified to PROVISIONALLY
SUITABLE with use of a shallow placement and fill system._ However,
it is likely that such an approach would create seasonal surfacing
of effluent. •
Due to severe soil limitations and the steep slope, subsurface
application of effluent is not recommended.
C. NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT SOIL EVALUATION
Procedure
The NC DEHNR Division of Environmental Management Administrative
Code Section. 15A NCAC 2H .0200 requires a soil evaluation for
surface applied trickle irrigation systems by a certified soil
scientist.
Soil profiles were performed on 13 pits located within the second
part of the site. The 13 pits (1-4 excavated by DEH, 4-13
excavated by Barrett Kays and. Associates) were approximately 24. 0-
30.0 in•depth or to an unsuitable characteristic. Deeper borings
� J

•
were- advanced to seven feet or to auger refused for pits. The
profiles included information on the following soil
characteristics-.--
1. topography and landscape position;
2. soil characteristics/soil morphology;
3. soil wetness;
4. soil depth;
5. restrictive horizons; and
6. available space.
The soil morphology evaluation included:
1. texture
2. structure;
3. depth of horizons;
4. matrix colors;
5. mottles;
6. soil consistency.
Findings
•
The soils on the site consistently have at least 12 inches of
provisionally suitable _ soils for a surface applied trickle
irrigation system. The saturated hydraulic conductivity is
estimated to be about 0.2 in/hour in the subsoil. The CEC of the ---
;
subsoil is estimated to be approximately 5 meq/100 gm of soil.
Recommendations
The findings of the soil evaluation indicate that a surface applied
trickle irrigation :system. could. be -used to dispose of septic system '
I effluent. The recommended application rate is 0.20 GPD/sq ft of
field area. This rate has been selected sufficiently low such that
effluent could be applied daily during the camping season without •
detention storage.

PART II. SOILS EVALUATION FOR WASTEWATER SYSTEM
DUKE POWER STATE PARK CAMPSITE AREA
A. INTRODUCTION
Purpose
A soils evaluation was performed on November 29, 1994 at the Duke
Power State Park Campsite Area in order to determine siting
requirements for renovations to an existing wastewater treatment
plant within the campsite portion of the. park. The current
wastewater treatment system is a wastewater treatment plant and
discharge to Lake Norman and is located south and down slope of the
campsite area. DSP wants to eliminate the discharge to surface
waters and to install a non-discharge system.
Site Location
The site is located at the southern end of the park along Lake
Norman Reservoir. The northern portion of the site is located •
ii across from the road from the camp bathhouse, and is situated
between two campsites. The northern half of the site has an
approximate slope of 6 percent and the southern half has,_
approximately 0-2 percent slopes. The site is approximately 3.0 ac
and is heavily forested with Pine and Hardwoods.
B. NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
HEALTH SOIL EVALUATION
Procedures
The procedure for soils evaluation was taken from the NC DEHNR
Division of Environmental Health and is in accordance with
North Carolina Administrative Code T15A.18A (.1901-.1968) .
Descriptions of soil profiles were recorded on 10 pits located
within the site. The 10 pits (excavated by Barrett Kays and
Associates) were approximately 24.0-36.0 inches in depth or to an
UNSUITABLE characteristic. The profiles included information on
the following soil characteristics:
1. topography and landscape position;
2. soil characteristics/soil morphology;
3. soil wetness;
4. soil depth; and
5. restrictive horizons.
The soil morphology investigation included: -

I '

•
1. texture;
2. structure;
3. depth of horizons;
4. matrix colors;
5. mottles; and
6. soil consistency.
The characteristics were compiled on soil profile sheets (Appendix
B) .
A surface evaluation of the entire site was also performed in order
to assess surface runoff characteristics, water body locations,
vegetative cover, slope, site location, building, trail, and
campsite locations. Some of this information is being prepared as
a separate document by D.S. Alantic, P.A. and will consist of a
site topographic map and location of off-site features.
Findings
The Soil Evaluation sheets show that pits 1,2,5 and 7 are
PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE for subsurface sewage disposal. Pits
3,4,5,6, 8 and 10 are UNSUITABLE due to shallow depth of soil but
can be reclassified at PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE with shallow
placement of trenches. Pits 1,2,3,4,9 and 10 have very sticky ■
subsoils and may have CEC of approximately 16 meq/100 gm which is
trending away from Kaolinitic clays in the subsoil.

Recommendations
The findings of the soil evaluation indicates that a surface
applied trickle irrigation system chould be used to dispose of
wastewater treatment plant effluent. The recommended application
rate is 0.20 GPD/sq ft of field area. Although a subsurface system
is allowable under the regulations, it will be substancially more
expensive than the trickle irrigation system.

Subject: Wastewater Spray Irrigation Systems
Minimum Design Criteria
Storage Requirements
Dear Mr.Misenhimer:
The purpose of this letter is to clarify the Division's policy on minimum storage
requirements for wastewater spray irrigation systems. It shall also serve as written
verification of the information regarding this matter which has been previously discussed
between you and Division representatives over the phone and in conference.
The Division requires that a mass water balance be utilized to indicate the minimum amount
of storage which is necessary for a given system. There is no absolute minimum or
maximum limit; the requirement is specific to the individual system's design,location, etc.
Each spray irrigation system will be considered on an individual basis so that any unique
design parameters may be considered on their merits.
If you have any further questions on this matter,feel free to contact me at(919) 733-5083,
extension 549.

RE: Project#9409004 - Monthly Soil Moisture Balance for
Mt. Mitchell St. Park and Duke Power St. Park Wastewater Systems
Dear Mr. Misenhimer:
Please find enclosed three tables of estimated monthly soil moisture balance. The recommended
application rate of 0.20 GPD/sq. ft. represents 0.32-inch daily application. The tables indicate that.
all three sites can handle in excess of 0.32-inch daily application in an unsaturated state.
Therefore,no storage requirement is needed for the field portion of the system. In fact all three sites
have sufficient storage capacity to allow for wastewater application during the most severe daily_
rainfall event on record and not produce surface runoff leaving the wastewater site. The saturated
daily capacity is approximately one order of magnitude greater for Mt. Mitchell and two orders of
magnitude greater for Duke Power State Park.
Therefore,I have recommended a low and conservative application rate based upon unsaturated flow
so that the site will have sufficient capacity to avoid runoff during the most adverse rainfall events.
The Mt. Mitchell system is planned to operate from May 1st to October 30th each year when the
park is open for visitors. This avoids operation during freezing periods. The Duke Power systems
should be set to not operate during period of freezing temperatures.
Also find enclosed the climatic data that was used to prepare this analysis. Please note that the data
for Mt. Mitchell is from the new weather station actually on Mt. Mitchell. Please contact me if you
have any questions or need further elaboration.

of the safety inspector shall be made known to the designer at the time the work is
started.
h. In the event of emergency affecting the safety of life, the protection of work, or the
safety of adjoining properties, the contractor is hereby authorized to act at his own
discretion, without further_authorization from anyone, to prevent such threatened injury

or damage. Any compensation claimed by the contractor on account of such action shall
be determined as provided for under Article 19(c).
ARTICLE 12 - SEDIMENTATION POLLUTION CONTROL ACT OF 1973
a. Any land-disturbing activity performed by the contractor(s) in connection with the
project shall comply with all erosion control measures set forth in the contract
documents and any additional measures which may be required in order to ensure that
the project is in full compliance with the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973,
as implemented by Title 15, North Carolina Administrative Code, Chapter 4,
Sedimentation Control, Subchapters 4A, 4B and 4C, as amended (15 N.C.A.C. 4A, 4B
and 4C).

and designer, from and against all claims, damages, civil penalties, losses and expenses,
including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, arising out of or resulting from the
performance of work or failure of performance of work, provided that any such claim,
damage, civil penalty, loss or expense is attributable to a violation of the Sedimentation
Pollution Control Act. Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge or
otherwise reduced any other right or obligation of indemnity which would otherwise
exist as to any party or persons described in this article.
ARTICLE 13 - INSPECTION OF THE WORK
a. It is a condition of this contract that the work shall be subject to inspection during
normal working hours by the designer, designated official representatives of the owner,
and those persons required by state law to test special work for official approval. The
contractor shall therefore provide safe access to the work at all times for such
inspections.
b. All instructions to the contractor will be made only by or through the designer or his
designated project representative. Observations made by official representatives of the
owner shall be conveyed to the designer for review and coordination prior to issuance to
the contractor.
c. Where special inspection or testing is required by virtue of any state laws, instructions of
the designer, specifications or codes, the contractor shall give adequate notice to the
designer of the time set for such inspection or test, if the inspection or test will be
conducted by a party other than the designer. Such special tests or inspections will be
made in the presence of the designer, or his authorized representative, and it shall be the
contractor's responsibility to serve ample notice of such tests.
d. All laboratory tests shall be paid by the owner unless provided otherwise in the contract
documents except the general contractor shall pay for laboratory tests to establish design
mix for concrete, and for additional tests to prove compliance with contract documents
where materials have tested deficient except when the testing laboratory did not follow
the appropriate ASTM testing procedures.

e. Should any work be covered up or concealed prior to inspection and approval by the
designer, such work shall be uncovered or exposed for inspection, if so requested by the
designer in writing. Inspection of the work will be made promptly upon notice from the
contractor. All cost involved in uncovering, repairing, replacing, recovering and
restoring to design condition, the work that has been covered or concealed will be paid
by the contractor involved.
f. If any other portion of the work has been covered which the designer has not specifically
requested to observe prior to being covered, the designer may request to see such work
and it shall be uncovered by the contractor. If such work be found in accordance with
the contract documents, the cost of uncovering and replacement shall, by appropriate
change order, be charged to the owner. If such work be found not in accordance with the
contract documents, the contractor shall pay such costs unless it be found that this
condition was caused by the owner or a separate contractor as provided in Article 15, in
which event the owner or the separate contractor shall be responsible for the payment of
such costs.
ARTICLE 14 - CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION
a. Throughout the progress of the work, each contractor shall keep on the job a competent
superintendent or supervisory staff satisfactory to the designer. The superintendent shall
not be changed without the consent of the designer unless said superintendent ceases to
be employed by the contractor or ceases to be competent. The superintendent shall have
authority to act on behalf of the contractor, and instructions, directions or notices given
to him shall be as binding as if given to the contractor. However, important directions,
instructions and notices will be confirmed in writing to the contractor as will all such
items if requested by the contractor.
b. The contractor shall examine and study the drawings and specifications and fully
understand the project design, and shall provide constant and efficient supervision to the
work. Should he discover any discrepancies of any sort in the drawings or
specifications, he shall report them to the designer without delay. He will not be held
responsible for discrepancies in the drawings and/or specifications, but shall be held
responsible to report them should they become known to him.
c. All contractors shall be required to cooperate and consult with each other during the
construction of this project. Each contractor shall lay out and execute his work so as to
cause the least delay to other contractors. Each contractor shall be responsible for any
damage to other contractor's work, and each contractor shall be financially responsible to
the another contractors for undue delay caused by him to other contractors on the project.
d. The contractor is required to attend monthly job site progress conferences as called by
the designer. The contractor shall be represented at these job progress conferences by
both home office and project personnel. These representatives shall have authority to act
on behalf of the contractor. These meetings shall be open to subcontractors, material
suppliers and any others who can contribute toward maintaining required job progress.
It shall be the principal purpose of these meetings, or conferences, to effect coordination,
cooperation and assistance in every practical way toward the end of maintaining progress
of the project on schedule and to complete the project within the specified contract time.
Each contractor shall be prepared to assess progress of the work as required in his
particular contract and to recommend remedial measures for correction of progress as
may be appropriate. The designer or his authorized representative shall be the
coordinator of the conferences and shall preside as chairman.

e. The contractor(s) shall, if required by the Supplementary General Conditions, employ a
registered engineer or registered land surveyor to lay out the work and to establish a
bench mark nearby in a location where same will not be disturbed and where direct
instruments sights may be taken.
f. The designer shall designate a project expediter on projects involving two or more prime
contracts. The project expediter shall. be designated in the Supplementary General
Conditions.
g. It shall be the responsibility of the project expediter to cooperate with and obtain from
the several contractors on the job their respective schedules and to integrate them into a
project progress schedule that will show graphically, by a detailed bar chart, CPM or
other acceptable and approved methods, the projected progress of the job from start to
finish and within the allotted time frame. All contractors shall review the proposed
progress schedule and approve same in writing to the designer and the project expediter.
h. The progress schedule shall be presented to the designer no later than thirty (30) days
after written notice to proceed. No application for payment will be processed until this
schedule is received.
i. The schedule will be distributed to all contractors and displayed at the job site.
j. The several contractors shall be responsible for their schedule and must notify the project
expediter of any changes or adjustments to their schedule. The project expediter shall
maintain the progress schedule, making monthly adjustments, updates, corrections, etc.,
that are necessary, keeping all contractors and the designer fully informed. Failure to
provide an updated schedule may be grounds for withholding reduction of retainage as
set forth in Article 31.
k. The project expediter shall notify each contractor of such events or time frames that are
critical to the progress of the job. Such notice shall be timely and reasonable. Should
the progress be delayed due to the work of any of the several contractors, it shall be the
duty of the project expediter to immediately notify the contractor(s) responsible for such
delay, the designer, the State Construction Office and other prime contractors. The
designer shall notify the bonding company that the progress is not being maintained and
shall make a recommendation to the owner regarding further action.
1. Designation as project expediter entails an additional project control responsibility and
does not alter in any way the responsibility of the contractor so designated, nor the
responsibility of the other contractors involved in the project.
ARTICLE 15 -SEPARATE CONTRACTS AND CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIPS
a. Chapter 143, Article 8, General Statutes of North Carolina, requires separate contracts to
be awarded for the general construction, heating and ventilating and air conditioning,
plumbing, and electrical installations. The owner reserves the right to prepare separate
specifications, receive separate bids, and award separate contracts for such other major
items of work as may be in the best interest of the state. Chapter 143, Article 8, was
amended June 28, 1989, to allow public contracts to be bid in the alternative as multi-
prime or single-prime contracts.
b. All contractors shall cooperate with each other in the execution of their work, and shall
plan their work-in such manner as to avoid conflicting schedules or delay of the work.
See Article 14, Construction Supervision.

c. If any part of contractor's work depends upon the work of another contractor, defects
which may affect that work shall be reported to the designer in order that prompt
inspection may be made and the defects corrected. Commencement of work by a
contractor where such condition exists will constitute acceptance of the other contractor's
work as being satisfactory in all respects to receive the work commenced, except as to
defects which may later develop. The designer shall be the judge as to the quality of
work and shall settle all disputes on the matter between contractors.
d. Any mechanical or electrical work such as sleeves, inserts, chases, etc., which is located
in the work of the general contractor shall be built in by the general contractor. The
respective mechanical and electrical contractors shall set all sleeves, inserts and other
devices built into the structure in cooperation and under the supervision of the general
contractor. The responsibility for the exact location of such items shall be that of the
mechanical and/or electrical contractor.
e. Should a contractor cause damage to the work or property of another contractor, he shall
be directly responsible, and upon notice, shall promptly settle the claim or otherwise
resolve the dispute.
ARTICLE 16 -SUBCONTRACTS AND SUBCONTRACTORS
a. Within fourteen (14) days after award of the contract, the contractor shall submit to the
designer and to the State Construction Office a list giving the names and addresses of
subcontractors and equipment and material suppliers he proposes to use,.together with
the scope of their respective parts of the work. Should any subcontractor be disapproved
by the designer, the designer shall submit his reasons for disapproval in writing to the
State Construction Office for its consideration with a copy to the contractor. If the State
Construction Office concurs with the designer's recommendation, the contractor shall
submit a substitute for approval. The designer shall act promptly in the approval of
subcontractors, and when approval of the list is given, no changes of subcontractors will
be permitted except for cause or reason considered justifiable by the designer.
b. The designer will furnish to any subcontractor, upon request, evidence regarding
amounts of money paid to the contractor on account of the subcontractor's work.
c. The contractor is and remains fully responsible for his own acts or omissions as well as
those of any subcontractor or of any employee of either. The contractor agrees that no
contractual relationship exists between the subcontractor and the owner in regard to the
contract, and that the subcontractor acts on this work as an agent or employee of the
contractor.
d. The owner reserves the right to limit the amount of portions of work to be subcontracted
as hereinafter specified.
ARTICLE 17- CONTRACTOR AND SUBCONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIPS
The contractor agrees that the terms of these contract documents shall apply equally to each
subcontractor as to the contractor, and the contractor agrees to take such action as may be
necessary to bind each subcontractor to these terms. The contractor further agrees to conform
to the Code of Ethical Conduct as adopted by the Associated General Contractors of
America, Inc., with respect to contractor-subcontractor relationships, and that payments to
subcontractors shall be made in accordance with the.provisions of G.S. 143-134.1 titled
Interest on final payments due to prime contractors: payments to subcontractors.

a. On all public construction contracts which are let by a board or governing body of the
state government or any political subdivision thereof, except contracts let by the
Department of Transportation pursuant to G.S. 136-28.1, the balance due prime
contractors shall be paid in full within 45 days after respective prime contracts of the
project have been accepted by the owner, certified by the architect, engineer or designer
to be completed in accordance with terms of the plans and specifications, or occupied by
the owner and used for the purpose for.which the project was constructed, whichever
occurs first. Provided, however, that whenever the architect or consulting engineer in
charge of the project determines that delay in completion of the project in accordance
with terms of the plans and specifications is the fault of the contractor, the project may
be occupied and used for the purposes for which it was constructed without payment of
any interest on amounts withheld past the 45day limit. No payment shall be delayed
because of the failure of another prime contractor on such project to complete his
contract. Should final payment to any prime contractor beyond the date such contracts
have been certified to be completed by the designer or architect, accepted by the owner,
or occupied by the owner and used for the purposes for which the project was
constructed, be delayed by more than 45 days, said prime contractor shall be paid
interest, beginning on the 46th day, at the rate of one percent (1%) per month or fraction
thereof unless a lower rate is agreed upon on such unpaid balance as may be due. In
addition to the above final payment provisions, periodic payments due a prime contractor
during construction shall be paid in accordance with the payment provisions of the
contract documents or said prime contractor shall be paid interest on any such unpaid
amount at the rate stipulated above for delayed final payments. Such interest shall begin
on the date the payment is due and continue until the date on which payment is made.
Such due date may be established by the terms of the contract. Funds for payment of
such interest on state-owned projects shall be obtained from the current budget of the
owning department, institution or agency. Where a conditional acceptance of a contract
exists, and where the owner is retaining a reasonable sum pending correction of such
conditions, interest on such reasonable sum shall not apply.
b. Within seven days of receipt by the prime contractor of each periodic or final payment,
the prime contractor shall pay the subcontractor based on work completed or service
provided under the subcontract. Should any periodic or final payment to the
subcontractor be delayed by more than seven days after receipt of periodic or final
payment by the prime contractor, the prime contractor shall pay the subcontractor
interest, beginning on the eighth day, at the rate of one percent (1%) per month or
fraction thereof on such unpaid balance as may be due.
c. The percentage of retainage on payments made by the prime contractor to the
subcontractor shall not exceed the percentage of retainage on payments made by the
owner to the prime contractor. Any percentage of retainage on payments made by the
prime contractor to the subcontractor that exceeds the percentage of retainage on
payments made by the owner to the prime contractor shall be subject to interest to be
paid by the prime contractor to the subcontractor at the rate of one percent (1%) per
month or fraction thereof.
d. Nothing in this section shall prevent the prime contractor at the time of application and
certification to the owner from withholding application and certification to the owner for
payment to the subcontractor for unsatisfactory job progress; defective construction not
remedied; disputed work; third-party claims filed or reasonable evidence that claim will
be filed; failure of subcontractor to make timely payments for labor, equipment and
materials; damage to prime contractor or another subcontractor; reasonable evidence that
subcontract cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the subcontract sum; or a
reasonable amount for retainage not to exceed the initial percentage retained by owner.

ARTICLE 18 -DESIGNER'S STATUS
a. The designer shall provide general administration of the performance of construction
contracts, including liaison and necessary inspection of the work to ensure compliance
with plans and specifications. He is the agent of the owner only for the purpose of
constructing this work and to the extent stipulated in the contract documents. He has
authority to stop work or to order work removed, or to order corrections of faulty work
where such action may be necessary to assure successful completion of the work.
b. The designer is the impartial interpreter of the contract documents, and, as such, he shall
exercise his powers under the contract to enforce faithful performance by both the owner
and the contractor, taking sides with neither.
c. Should the designer cease to be employed on the work for any reason whatsoever, then
the owner shall employ a competent replacement who shall assume the status of the
former designer.
d. The designer will make periodic inspections of the project at intervals appropriate to the
stage of construction. He will inspect the progress, the quality and the quantity of the
work.
e. The designer and the owner shall have access to the work whenever it is in preparation
and progress during normal working hours. The contractor shall provide facilities for
such access so the designer may perform his functions under the contract documents.
f. Based on the designer's inspections and evaluations of the project, the designer shall
issue interpretations, directives and decisions as may be necessary to administer the
project. His decisions relating to artistic effect and technical matters shall be final,
provided such decisions are within the limitations of the contract.

ARTICLE 19 - CHANGES IN THE WORK
a. The owner may have changes made in the work covered by the contract. These changes
will not invalidate and will not relieve or release the contractor from any guarantee given
by him pertinent to the contract provisions. These changes will not affect the validity of
the guarantee bond and will not relieve the surety or sureties of said bond. All extra
work shall be executed under conditions of the original contract.
b. Except in an emergency endangering life or property, NO CHANGE SHALL BE
MADE BY THE CONTRACTOR EXCEPT UPON WRITTEN ORDER FROM
THE DESIGNER, COUNTERSIGNED BY THE OWNER AND THE STATE
CONSTRUCTION OFFICE AUTHORIZING SUCH CHANGE. AND NO
CLAIM FOR ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CONTRACT PRICE SHALL BE VALID
UNLESS THIS PROCEDURE IS FOLLOWED.
c. In determining the values of changes, either additive or deductive, contractors are
restricted to the use of the following methods:
1. Where the extra work involved is covered by unit prices quoted in the proposal, the
value of the change shall be computed by application of unit prices based on
quantities, estimated or actual as agreed of the items involved.
2. The contracting parties shall negotiate and agree upon the equitable value of the
change prior to issuance of the change order, and the change order shall stipulate the
corresponding lump sum adjustment to the contract price.
d. In the event of emergency endangering life or property, the contractor may be directed to
proceed on a time and material basis whereupon the contractor shall proceed and keep
accurately on such form as may be required, a correct account of costs together with all -
proper invoices, payrolls and supporting data. Upon completion of the work the change
order will be prepared as outlined under either Method "c(1)" or Method "c(2)" or both.
e. Under Methods "c(2)" and Paragraph "d" above, the allowances for overhead and profit
combined shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of net cost except where the change
involves a subcontractor, allowance shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) for the
subcontractor, and ten percent (10%) for the prime contractor. Under Method "c(1)", no
additional allowances shall be made for overhead and profit. In the case of deductible
change orders, under Method "c(2)" and Paragraph "d" above, the contractor shall
include no less than ten percent (10%) profit, but no allowances for overhead.
f. The term "net cost" as used herein shall mean the difference between all proper cost
additions and deductions. The "cost" as used herein may include all items of material
and labor, rental value of power tools and equipment, bond adjustments and sales tax.
The allowance for labor burden which includes such items of cost as workmen's
compensation insurance, unemployment insurance, special insurance, Social Security
and old age benefit, and fringe benefits shall be actual costs not to exceed thirty-five
percent (35%) of total labor cost. Overtime and extra pay for holidays and weekends
may be a cost item only to the extent approved by the owner.
g. The following items shall be considered as overhead: insurance other than mentioned
above, supervision, superintendents, timekeepers, clerks, expediters, watchmen, small
tools, incidental job burdens and general office expense, and all other items not included
in "cost" as above defined.

h. Should concealed conditions be encountered in the performance of the work below
grade, or should concealed or unknown conditions in an existing structure be at variance
with the conditions indicated by the contract documents, the contract sum and time for
completion may be equitably adjusted by change order upon claim by either party made
within thirty (30) days after the condition has been identified. The cost of such change
shall be arrived at by one of the foregoing methods.
ALL CHANGE ORDERS SHALL BE SUPPORTED BY A BREAKDOWN
SHOWING METHOD OF ARRIVING AT NET COST AS DEFINED ABOVE.
i. In all change orders, normal procedure will be for the designer to obtain quotations and
supporting data, and verify correctness. The designer shall prepare the change order,
secure the contractor's signature, certify the change order by his signature, and forward
the change order and all supporting data to the owner for the owner's signature. The
owner will forward the change order to the State Construction Office for final approval.
All change orders shall be properly executed and forwarded to the State Construction
Office within fourteen (14) days of the contractor's signature. The State Construction
Office shall act on the change order within seven (7) days. Upon approval by the State
Construction Office, one copy remains with the State Construction Office, one copy is
sent to the owner, and the remaining copies are sent to the designer for distribution to the
contractor(s) and the surety. In case of emergency or extenuating circumstances,
approval of changes may be obtained verbally by telephone or field orders approved by
all parties,then shall be substantiated in writing as outlined under normal procedure.
j. At the time of signing a change order, the contractor shall be required to certify as
follows:
"I certify that my bonding company will be notified forthwith that my contract has been
changed by the amount of this change order, and that a copy of the approved change
order will be mailed upon receipt by me to my surety."
k. A change order, when issued, shall be full compensation, or credit, for the extra work
included, omitted or substituted. It shall show on its face the adjustment in time for
completion of the project as a result of the change in the work.
I. If, during the progress of the work, the owner requests a change order and the
contractor's terms are unacceptable, the owner without prejudice, with the approval of
the State Construction Office, may perform or have performed that portion of the work
requested in the change order.
ARTICLE 20 -CLAIMS FOR EXTRA COST
a. Should the contractor consider that as a result of any instructions given in any form by
the designer, he is entitled to extra cost above that stated in the contract, he shall give
written notice thereof to the designer within seven (7) days without delay, and shall not
proceed with the work affected until further advised, except in emergency involving the
safety of life or property, which condition is covered in Article 19(d) and Article 11(h).
No claims for extra compensation will be considered unless the claim is so made. The
designer shall render a written decision within seven (7) days of receipt of claim.
b. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL NOT ACT ON INSTRUCTIONS RECEIVED BY
HIM FROM PERSONS OTHER THAN THE DESIGNER, AND ANY CLAIMS
FOR EXTRA COMPENSATION OR EXTENSION OF TIME ON ACCOUNT OF
SUCH INSTRUCTION WILL NOT BE HONORED. The designer will not be
responsible for misunderstandings claimed by the contractor of verbal instructions which

have not been confirmed in writing, and in no case shall instructions be interpreted as
permitting a departure from the contract documents unless such instruction is confirmed
in writing and supported by a properly authorized change order.
c. Should a claim for extra compensation by the contractor be denied by the designer or
owner, and cannot be resolved by a representative of the State Construction Office, the
contractor may pursue his claim in accordance with the provisions of G.S. 143-135.3 and
the following:
1. A contractor who has not completed a contract with a board for construction or
repair work and who has not received the amount he claims is due under the contract
may submit a verified written claim to the director of the State Construction Office
of the Department of Administration for the amount the contractor claims is due.
The director may deny, allow or compromise the claim, in whole or in part. A claim
under this subsection is not a contested case under Chapter 150B of the General
Statutes.
2. (a) A contractor who has completed a contract with a board for construction or
repair work and who has not received the amount he claims is due under the
contract may submit a verified written claim to the director of the State
Construction Office of the Department of Administration for the amount the
contractor claims is due. The claim shall be submitted within sixty (60) days
after the contractor receives a final statement of the board's disposition of his
claim and shall state the factual basis for the claim.
(b) The director shall investigate a submitted claim within ninety (90) days of
receiving the claim, or within any longer time period upon which the director
and the contractor agree. The contractor may appear before the director, either _
in person or through counsel, to present facts and arguments in support of his: -
claim. The director may allow, deny or compromise the claim, in whole or in
part. The director shall give the contractor a written statement of the director's
decision on the contractor's claim.
(c) A contractor who is dissatisfied with the director's decision on a claim
submitted under this subsection may commence a contested case on the claim
under Chapter 150B of the General Statutes. The contested case shall be
commenced within sixty (60) days of receiving the director's written statement
of the decision.
(d) As to any portion of a claim that is denied by the director, the contractor may,
in lieu of the procedures set forth in the preceding subsection of this section,
within six (6) months of receipt of the director's final decision, institute a civil
action for the sum he claims to be entitled to under the contract by filing a
verified complaint and the issuance of a summons in the Superior Court of
Wake County or in the superior court of any county where the work under the
contract was performed. The procedure shall be the same as in all civil actions
except that all issues shall be tried by the judge,without a jury.
ARTICLE 21 -MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK
The designer will have the authority to order minor changes in the work not involving an
adjustment in the contract sum or time for completion, and not inconsistent with the intent of
the contract documents. Such changes shall be effected by written order, copied to the State
Construction Office, and shall be binding on the owner and the contractor.

ARTICLE 22 - UNCORRECTED FAULTY WORK
Should the correction of faulty or damaged work be considered inadvisable or inexpedient by
the owner and the designer, the owner shall be reimbursed by the contractor. A change order
will be issued to reflect a reduction in the contract sum.
ARTICLE 23 -TIME OF COMPLETION, DELAYS, EXTENSION OF TIME
a. The time to be allowed for construction is stated in the Supplementary General
Conditions and in the Form of Proposal. The project expediter, Article 1(i) and Article
14, upon notice of award of contract, shall confer with other contractors, prepare a
construction schedule based on the allowed time, and submit such a schedule to the other
contractors for approval and coordination with a copy to the designer for comment.
When the schedule has been approved by all contractors, the project expediter shall
distribute copies to all contractors, the designer and the owner. All contractors shall
maintain progress in accordance with the schedule and with terms of the construction
contract. The progress schedule shall be revised as required by the project expediter in
cooperation with other contractors and the designer. See Article 14.
b. The contractors shall commence work to be performed under this agreement on a date to
be specified in a written order from the designer and shall fully complete all work
hereunder within the number of consecutive calendar days stated. For each day in excess
of the above number of days, the contractor(s) shall pay the owner the sum stated as
liquidated damages reasonably estimated in advance to cover the losses to be incurred by
the owner by reason of failure of said contractor(s) to complete the work within the time
specified, such time being in the essence of this contract and a material consideration
thereof.
c. The designer shall be the judge as to the division of responsibility between the
contractor(s), based on the construction schedule, weekly reports and job records, and
shall apportion the amount of liquidated damages to be paid by each of them, according
to delay caused by any or all of them.
d. If the contractor is delayed at any time in the progress of his work by any act or
negligence of the owner or the designer, or by any employee of either; by any separate
contractor employed by the owner; by changes ordered in the work; by labor disputes at
the project site; by abnormal weather conditions not reasonably anticipated for the
locality where the work is performed; by unavoidable casualties; by any causes beyond
the contractor's control; or by any other causes which the designer and owner determine
may justify the delay, then the contract time may be extended by change order for the
time which the designer and owner may determine is reasonable.
Time extensions will not be granted for rain, wind, snow or other natural phenomena of
normal intensity for the locality where work is performed. For purpose of determining
extent of delay attributable to unusual weather phenomena, a determination shall be
made by comparing the weather for the contract period involved with the average of the
preceding five (5) year climatic range during the same time interval based on the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Weather Service statistics
for the locality where work is performed and on daily weather logs kept on the job site
by the contractor reflecting the effect of the weather on progress of the work and
initialed by the designer's representative. Time extensions for weather delays do not
• entitle the contractor to "extended overhead" recovery.

e. Request for extension of time shall be made in writing within twenty (20) days following
cause of delay. In case of continuing cause for delay, only one claim is necessary.
f. The contractor shall notify his surety in writing of extension of time granted.
g. No claim shall be allowed on account of failure of the designer to furnish drawings or
instructions until two (2) weeks after demand for such drawings and/or instructions. See
Article 3.
ARTICLE 24 - PARTIAL UTILIZATION BENEFICIAL OCCUPANCY
a. The owner may desire to occupy all or a portion of the project when the work is
substantially complete.
b. Prior to the final payment, the owner, with the approval of the State Construction Office,
may request the contractor(s) in writing, through the designer if applicable, to permit him
to use a specified part of the project which he believes he may use without significant
interference with construction of the other parts of the project. If the contractor(s) agree,
the designer will schedule a beneficial occupancy inspection, with the approval of the
State Construction Office, after which the designer may issue a certificate of substantial
completion. The certificate shall include the following documentation:
1. Date of substantial completion.
2. A tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment.
3. Establishing responsibility between contractor and owner for maintenance, heat,
utilities and insurance.
4. Establishing the date for guarantees and warranties under terms of the contract.
5. Consent of surety.
6. Endorsement from insurance company permitting occupancy.
c. The owner shall have the right to exclude the contractor from any part of the project
which the designer has so certified to be substantially complete, but the owner will allow
the contractor reasonable access to complete or correct work to bring it into compliance
with the contract.
d. Occupancy by the owner under this article will in no way relieve the contractor from his
contractual requirement to complete the project within the specified time. The contractor
will not be relieved of liquidated damages because of beneficial occupancy. The
designer may prorate liquidated damages based on the percentage of project occupied.
ARTICLE 25 - FINAL INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE
a. The designer shall determine when the work is completed and ready for final inspection
and shall schedule a final inspection at a time and date acceptable to the owner,
contractor(s) and State Construction Office.
b. When contractors finish their work prior to completion by other contractors, these
contracts shall be closed out through the final inspection, acceptance and final payment
process on recommendation of the designer and approval of the State Construction
Office.

c. At the final inspection, the designer shall, if job conditions warrant, record a list of items
that are found to be incomplete or not in accordance with the contract documents. At the
conclusion of the final inspection, the designer shall make the following determinations:

purchased from each vendor, the county in which the vendor made the sale and the
amount of local sales and use taxes paid thereon. If the property was purchased out-of-
state, the county in which the property was delivered should be listed. The contractor

GUIDELINES FOR RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION OF MINORITY BUSINESSES FOR
PARTICIPATION IN STATE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
In accordance with G.S. 143-128 (SB 308 ratified June 28, 1989) these guidelines establish goals for
minority participation in single-prime and separate-prime state construction contracts. The

construction project as mandated by SB 308. Nothing contained in these guidelines shall be
considered to require awarding authorities to award contracts or to make purchases of materials or
equipment from minority-business contractors who do not submit the lowest responsible bid or
bids.

A. Verify site conditions and not subsurface conditions affecting work of this
section.
B. Identify required lines, levels and elevations that will determine the extent of the
proposed removals.
3.02 ROCK EXCAVATION
A. Rock shall be defined as that solid material that cannon be excavated, in the
opinion of the Owner or Designer, by any means other than drilling and blasting,
drilling and wedging, or boulders and broken concrete exceeding 1/2 cubic yard in
volume. Rock shall be excavated to the same limits as earth excavation except that
the trench shall be made six inches lower that the outer bottom of the pipe, and
this six inches shall be refilled with six inches of#67 stone and thoroughly
compacted to the sub-grade level. No soft or disintegrated rock which in the
opinion of the Owner or Designer that can be removed with hand picks or power
operated shovels, no previously blasted rock or broken rock, and no rock outside
the minimum limits of the trench shall be measured or paid for as rock. Manholes
and tanks shall be excavated to nine inches outside the exterior masonry footing
and to a depth as shown on the plans or standards, and only that excavation
actually done within these limits shall be measured for payment. All trenches for
purpose of rock measurement shall be assumed as having vertical walls. Payment
for rock shall not necessarily be made because the contractor blasts the material.
In order to assure payment for rock, the overburden must be cleared first, and the
rock ascertained and profiled in lengths as specified by the Owner or Designer. If
the contractor drills and blasts before the overburden is taken off, and the Owner
or Designer after inspection of the material, decides that the material could have
been taken out by power driven shovels, no payment shall be made for rock
excavation. All blasting shall be done under the supervision of the Owner or
Designer and subject to all applicable regulations. The Owner reserves the right to
require the removal of rock by means other than blasting where any pipe or
conduit is either too close to or so situated with respect to the blasting as to,make
blasting hazardous. Rock shall be paid for at the unit price bid per cubic yard for
the amount removed measured in place. Rock taken form the ditch shall
immediately be hauled away and disposed of by the contractor. No additional
compensation shall be made for disposing of the rock. Rock removed shall be
paid for as per the accepted bid for the unit price. The contractor shall reimburse
the amount for rock not excavated. Otherwise, when rock excavation exceeds the
bid quantity, the unit price in the bid shall be paid for the rock in excess.
B. Comply with all laws, rules, and regulations of Federal, State and local authorities
and insurer which govern storage, use, manufacture, sale, handling, transportation,
licensing, or other disposition of explosives. Take special precautions for proper
use of explosives to prevent harm to human life and damage to surface structures,

all utility lines, or other subsurface structures. Do not conduct blasting operations
until persons in vicinity have had ample not and have reached positions of safety.
C. Contractor shall save harmless owner, engineer, and owner's representative from
any claim growing out of use of such explosives. Removal of materials of any
nature by blasting shall be done in such a manner and such time as to avoid
damage affecting integrity of design and to avoid damage to any new or existing
structure included in or adjacent to work. It shall be contractor's responsibility to
determine method of operation to ensure desired results and integrity of
completed work.
D. Perform rock excavation in a manner that will produce material of such size as to
permit it being placed in embankments in accordance with Section 02200.
Remove rock to limits as indicated. Remove loose or shattered rock overhanging
ledges and boulder which might dislodge.
E. Use lean concrete or suitable materials to replace rock overblast or over
excavation in building area and in expansion area to facilitate placement of
utilities and future footings.

the center of the pavement, overlapping on successive trips by at least 1/2 the -
width of the roller. The speed of the roller shall at all times be slow enough to
avoid displacement of the hot mix as a result of reversing. Any displacement
shall be immediately corrected. Rolling shall proceed at a rate not in excess of
500 square yards per hour per roller and shall continue until no further visible
compaction is obtainable and all roller marks have been eliminated. Rolling shall
compact the mixture to at least 94 percent of the theoretical maximum density.
Rolling shall be started as soon as the mixture will bear the roller without undue
misplacement or hair cracking. Delays in rolling hand raked mixture will not be

MEMORANDUM
To: Carolyn McCaskill
Through: Bob Cheek (-1��
From: David Goodrich 72,-,
Subject: North Carolina Division of Parks and Recreation
Mount Mitchell State Park
Drip Irrigation System
Yancey County
WQ0012363/GW96093 (Originally submitted as WQ0011580/GW95218)
(Ray Cox: DEM SERG Review Engineer)
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit application for the installation of
a recirculating sand filter and surface applied drip irrigation system to provide effluent disposal
from the existing septic tank/dosing tank onto a .44 acre area (see Figures 1, 2, and 3). This
system will generate 1,800 GPD of wastewater. The intended application rate is 0.094 gallons
per day per square foot, and this represents less than half of the application rate recommended
by the soil scientist (0.2 gallons per day per square foot).
The Groundwater Section recommends issuance of the permit with the following conditions.
1. Any groundwater monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be provided.
2. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in
15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary
is for the disposal system constructed after December 31, 1983 is established at either (1)
250 feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary,
whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
1

Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action
in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6A(a)(1).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the
disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste
disposal area. Any exceedance of standards at the Review Boundary shall require
remediation action on the part of the permittee.
If there are any questions please let me know.

Yancey and Iredell Counties,
Dear Mr.Jeffreys: v\Lui,„ 619�fi
The Permits and Engineering Unit has completed an initial review of thef ubjee .ap tcah,orf§..
previously stated in the attached correspondence to yourself(dated November 2_htL9r35; tuber 11,
1995, December 12, 1995) and in meetings with your design engineer(on Fe ary 27, 1995 and January
29, 1996), disinfection facilities will be required for all three (3) of the subject projects. At no time has it
been spoken,written or implied that these projects could be issued without disinfection. Disinfection of
domestic wastewater has always been required in facilities permitted by the pion-discharge group.
Disinfection is required due to both public contact and the groundwater standard for total coliform(1/100
ml). This requirement(in addition to drip irrigation) is not specifically addressed in the .0200
Regulations. Drip irrigation is a relatively new technology and has not yet been addressed in the .0200
Regulations,however, the Division has been supportive of these type of projects if they meet the minimum
criteria provided by the Division.
Therefore, the following shall be addressed:
All three(3) of these projects will be required to have disinfection facilities.
Please submit a letter stating that disinfection will be provided for each of
the specified projects. In addition,please submit detailed plans for each
project showing the disinfection facilities and specifications of the type of
disinfection to be utilized.
Refer to the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. Please
submit four (4) copies of all information to my attention at the address below. Also,
please note that failure to provide this additional information on or before July 1, 1996 will subject your
application to being returned as incomplete, in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0208.

MEMORANDUM:
TO : Cindy Boyles
THROUGH: Don Link la .
FROM: Kay Dechantg
SUBJECT: Permit Review
NC Div. Parks & Recreation, Mt . Mitchell State Park
Drip Irrigation System
WQ 0011580 GW 95218
Yancey County, North Carolina
DATE: . October 20, 1995
Issuance of the subject permit is recommended. The site,.
located at Mt . Mitchell State Park, has provisionally suitable
soils , thus a surface applied drip irrigation system is proposed.
Soils are shallow and there is no water table present above
bedrock, so no groundwater monitoring is recommended. The site
is limited as to options for a wastewater treatment system.. The
proposed system is located in a remote area, with little impact
to groundwater expected.
Please call me at ( 704 ) 251-6208 if you have any questions .

Date
-3-

The applicant has modified the filter to a rectangular design which is
more in line with conventional sand filter systems .
A reduction of the surface application rate for this recirculating
filter to 3 . 0 gpd/sq ft should adequately compensate for the loss in
cubic foot capacity of the filter caused by the less than vertical
sides .
Construction of the proposed filter bed with 24 inches of sand as
opposed to the 18 inches of sand normally provided in a conventional
filter bed should provide additional treatment assurances .
In regards to the disinfection system, the location of the tablet type
chlorinator inside the pump tank increases the likelihood that tablets
will adhere to the inside of the tube and not drop as intended
(automatically) to the bottom of the tube to contact flow from the
filter bed.
Additionally, since chlorine tends to evolve from these tablets when
they are exposed to the atmosphere, a 30 day storage capacity as
provided in the specifications will be ineffective .
It is recommended that the chlorinator be serviced at least once per
week with those tablets present in the tube tamped to the bottom and a
small supply of new tablets added.

(during May through October) regardless of whether waste- water
has been applied or not . The months (during May through October)
in which wastewater has not been applied you will need to com-
plete the top portion, write in "No wastewater was applied this
month" and submit the report as required.
The facility is permitted to apply wastewater to a 0 .44 acre
two zone field at an application rate not to exceed 0 . 32 inches
per day. If calculated as an hourly rate this would be 0 . 0133
inches per 24 hours, which would also be a weekly rate of 2 .24
inches per week. These rates need to be filled in at the top of
the form.
Each day that you apply wastewater (during May through
October) you are required to record the weather conditions (using
the codes on the form) , the temperature (of the air) in of and
the amount (in inches) of rainfall occurring within that 24-hour
period of time . Disregard all references to freeboard, since
this does not apply to your facility.
Record the volume pumped in gallons, the total time that
wastewater is applied (drip irrigated) during that 24-hour period
of time, calculate and record the daily loading (in inches) and
maximum hourly loading (in inches) .
Example calculations : If you apply 1000 gallons of waste-
water for 2 hours (within a 24-hour period of time) , you would
calculate the daily loading (DL) in inches as follows :
DL in. = (1000 gallons x 0 . 1336 cubic feet/gal) x 12 inches /ft
1 . 0 acres x 43 , 560 square feet/acre
= 133 . 6 x 12 inches /square "feet
43 , 560 square feet
= 16 , 032 inches
43 , 560
= 0 . 0368044 inches
Round off and report Daily Loading as : 0 . 04 inches
To calculate the maximum hourly loading rate (MHL) in inches
per hour, use the following formula.
MHL in. = daily loading (inches) x 60 minutes
total time irrigated (minutes) hour

= 0 . 0368044 inches x 60 minutes

Page two of the monthly report must be completed and signed.
Since there are no places to document ORC visits, arrival times,
time on-site, back-up operator, etc . Please make a note of ORC
visits on the back of each NDAR report .
How to complete the NDMR-1 form.
Section III .#3 of the permit requires that samples be
collected every July and September. Enclosed is a list of
certified labs in the area. Since you have not collected any
samples this year, please collect a set this month and report on
the NDMR. This form allows you to document ORC visits, time on-
site, etc . You might like to use this form as an operational
log. To report the daily flow rates as million gallons a day,
divide by 1, 000, 000 . For example :
MGD = 2000 gallons = 0 . 002 MGD
1, 000, 000
Page two of the monthly report must be completed and signed.
3 . Responsibilities of the Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC)
Enclosed is a copy of the Water Pollution Control Operators'
Certification Commission administrative code/regulations . I have
marked the areas which address the responsibilities of the ORC
and permittee. A spray irrigation system requires a weekly visit
by the ORC. In addition, the ORC "must properly manage and
document daily operation and maintenance, certify monitoring and
reporting information as prescribed in the permit . . . " . Please
keep an operational log and document weekly ORC visits .
Conclusion
I am very concerned that there have been failures to perform
and submit required monitoring and reporting. It is imperative
that you understand the importance of this situation and that you
take immediate action to correct the items we have discussed and

Dear Mr.Jeffreys:
The Permits and Engineering Unit has begun a detailed engineering review of the subject
application. The following items must be addressed before we can complete our review:
1) The application inaccurately reflects that Division staff indicated no disinfection or public
access control would be necessary. Each of these items must be adequately addressed and
included in this project. The plans and supporting documents,should be modified as necessary
to indicate what measures are being taken to address these items in the design.
2) Please provide support in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0219 (1), or in the form of recorded
flow data, for the estimated volume of wastewater indicated in item III 4, on page 2 of the .
application.
3) The volume for the pump tank is shown as 5,000 gallons on sheet 3 of the plans and 6,000_ -
gallons on sheet 7. Please clear up this discrepancy, modifying the appropriate sheet to show
the appropriate volume.
4) Please provide a set of specifications for the preassembled pump/filter/control system to be
utilized for this system. .
5) Please modify the appropriate sheet(s) of the plans to show the proposed distribution system - -
design for the surface sand filters.
6). The triangular cross-sectioned sand filter, as you may know, is not the design typically
submitted for this type of project (rectangular cross section). In order to assist the Division in
.properly evaluating this design,please provide guidance for the following items: (a) What is
the proposed method of construction?; (b) How will this design allow for even distribution
and loading throughout its cross section (will short-circuiting not be a problem)?; (c)Can you = _--
ensure that this design will function as well as the more traditional rectangular cross section, -_
providing adequate contact with filter media by all wastewater, and thus,proper filtration of the -
wastewater?; (d)When addressing these concerns, please note that the dimensions indicated : - -
on the detail (sheet 7) and be side slopes do not appear to mesh. By my calculations, the side °-___
slopes would have to be 1:1 for the indicated dimensions to be valid. Please provide
clarification for this apparent discrepancy.

Drip Irrigation System
Yancey County
WQ0011580/GW95218
(J. Ray Cox: DEM SERG Review Engineer)
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit application for the installation of
a recirculating sand filter and surface applied drip irrigation system to provide effluent disposal from
the existing septic tank/dosing tank onto a .44 acre area. This system will generate 1,800 GPD of
wastewater. The Groundwater Section recommends issuance of the permit with the following
conditions:
1. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.
2. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations
in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance
Boundary for the disposal system constructed after December 31, 1983, is established
at either(1) 250 feet from the waste disposal area, or(2) 50 feet from the property
boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of
Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to
immediate remediation action in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under
General Statute 143-215.6A(a)(1).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around
the disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of
the waste disposal area. Any exceedance of standards at the Review Boundary shall
require remediation action on the part of the permittee.

NC Div. Parks & Recreation, Mt . Mitchell State Park
Drip Irrigation System
WQ 0011580 GW 95218
Yancey County, North Carolina
DATE: October 20, 1995
Issuance of the subject permit is recommended. The site,
located at Mt . Mitchell State Park, has provisionally suitable
soils , thus a surface applied drip irrigation system is proposed.
Soils are shallow and there is no water table present above
bedrock, so no groundwater monitoring is recommended. The site
is limited as to options for a wastewater treatment system. The
proposed system is located in a remote area, with little impact
to groundwater expected.
Please call me at ( 704 ) 251-6208 if you have any questions .

The facility uses an existing septic tank/ground absorption
system that was previously installed with approval from the
Yancey County Health Department . The drip system is intended
to replace the conventional system beginning May 1st and
ending the October 31st each year.
In addition to the septic tank, the current drip system
consists of a 5, 000 gallon pump tank with newly installed (as
of August 22', 2001) submersible pumps which deliver flow to a
5 . 0 gpd/sq ft, recirculating, lined, sand filter which is
covered with small-sized stone .
The pump tank is used for recirculation and storage. The
surface drip irrigation system is designed to prevent a
discharge to surface waters .
The existing septic tank and nitrification system is used
during the off season when the park and restaurant are closed
to the public (November thru April) . During that time, the
only wastewater going to that system is generated from three
ranger residences and the maintenance shop.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The ARO recommends renewal of the permit .
We are requesting that the permit language be modified to specifically
require monitoring reports to be submitted only during the months of
May through October or when the system is in operation. This will
prevent reports from having to be filed stating "no discharge" during
the remaining months of the year, when the system is winterized and
shut down. We also recommend grab samples (and insert language into
permit) .
This drip system has been plagued with operational problems since the
initial installation. When the pumps would lose prime, the drip system
-3-

would automatically shut down. The pumps would lose prime because of a
design flaws : the pumping distance was too far, the atmospheric
pressure was to high, etc . Lightning hits to the control panel put the
system out of service . The constractor/installer was fired. The
operator, Dave Horton, was killed on the job. The Park Superintendent
retired. There are many reasons why this system has never really been
operated continuously.
The installation of new submersible pumps in the pump tank and certifi-
cation of a new ORC will now enable the system to be operated as
designed.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The plans and
specifications attached to the application provides for a
lined, surface sand filter covered with stone with gravity
flow into a 5, 000 gallon wet well/storage tank for
distribution onto a drip irrigation field. A cursory
review shows items which should be addressed or modified.
The plans should be revised prior to final ARO approval.
The cursory review shows that no distribution system for
the surface sand filter is provided. Also, the filter
system for the pumps (with backwash) is not shown on the
plans .Our initial thoughts would be that if the filters are
to prevent clogging of the 0 . 61 gph irrigation emitter,
experience has shown that it may be better design to
eliminate the filters and backwash system in favor of a
higher rated emitter which is unlikely to clog.
Finally, even though the design of the recirculating
surface sand filter is somewhat radical (non rectangular) ,
it should perform as intended as long as it is modified to
provide at least 9 cubic feet of sand per foot length.
Current calculations show the existing design to provide
only 8 cubic feet of sand per foot length. This
modification would be consiste t' with normal sand filter
design criteria provided in t ,- general ermit guidance for
single family residence fac . l . ties .

(48) Sludge Holding Tank(Aerated and Nonaerated). A tank utilized for small wastewater treatment plants not containing a digester In which sludge may be
kept fresh,and supematant withdrawn prior to a drying method(I.e.sludge drying beds);This may be done by adding a small amount of air simply to keep the
sludge fresh, but not necessarily an amount that would be required to achieve stabilization of organic matter. A nonaerated tank would simply be used to
decant sludge prior to dewatering and would not allow long periods (several days of detention) without resulting odor problems;
