III. EXISTING TREATMENT SYSTEM:
The existing treatment system consists of a septic tank and
surface sand filter followed by chlorination before discharge. The
system is rated at 20 ,000 GPD. The septic tank and sand filters
are located south of the Dormitory Building of United Wold Mission.
Exhibit 'D' shows the system with respect to the School and the
Mission facilities .
The United World Mission facilities located north of Hudlow
Road are pumped from a lift station to the septic system.
The discharge from the surface sand filters is to a small
stream located south of the sand filters .

VI. ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT SYSTEMS:
In the January 31, 1994 letter from DEHNR, Item 2 suggest
three ( 3) alternatives:
1 ) . Connection to a public owned treatment works .
2 ) . Spray Irrigation.
3 ) . Subsurface Disposal.
1) . Public Owned Treatment Works:
Mr. Cotarelo indicated in his March 10 , 1994 letter that
.a public owned treatment facility is not available at any
location which is economically feasible to this service area.
2) . Spray Irrigation:
The use of spray irrigation does not appear to be feasible
since neither entity has sufficient suitable land
available. The land area which United World Mission has
available is mostly tree covered with moderate to steep
slopes . The total open land available (not tree covered)
is approximately six ( 6 ) acres . Another problem that
exist with this method is the fact that the United World
Mission' s land a butts residential properties .
3 ) . Subsurface Disposal:
This type of system appears to be the most feasible of the
three ( 3 ) alternatives suggested. There does not appear to
be sufficient land near the existing surface sand filters for
subsurface disposal. There is approximately two (2 ) acres
available on United World Mission property north of Hudlow
Road and east of Building No. 7 (Education Building) . It
will be necessary to obtain soil capabilities before ground
absorption system can be considered as feasible or non-
feasible. From preliminary observations during construction
in the area the soil appears to be high in clay content and
would not lend itself well to absorption and percolation.
Another type of subsurface disposal is a mounded system. A
mounded disposal system may be more feasible. I have attached a
copy of a study done by Mr. M.P. Henning, III , M.S. , P.E. , R.S . ,
Environmental Health Program Director, Firelands Campus , Bowling
Green State University, Ohio, regarding Evapotranspiration of
Wastewater Effluent (Exhibit G) .
-9-

)
This system utilizes mounded leach lines with pine trees planted
along the linen to absorb the effluent . In my discussions with Mr.
Henning he indicated has working systems in North Carolina as well
as Ohio which are over 20 years old. He indicated that the systems
have performed well.
It would appear this system is feasible for the site
conditions . United World Mission has approximately two (2) acres
of suitable land north of Hudlow Road and east of the education
building.
Using this system would require the installation of a pump
station near the existing surface sand filters . The wastewater
from the school and the United World Mission facilities south of
Hudlow Road would be pumped to the existing lift station north of
Hudlow Road. The wastewater would then be pumped to the treatment
plant or septic tank and tile field for dissipation.
This system is expected to operate at the rate of 9 gallons
per foot of mound per day. For a projected future flow of 19,430
gallons this would require twenty-two (22 ) sections of mound at 100
foot length. Spaced at six ( 6 ) feet, the tile field would require
13,800 square feet of land with a 100% replacement area of 13,800
square feet . The total land required would be 27 ,600 square feet
(0. 634 Acres ) . The area available is approximately two ( 2 ) acres.
See exhibit ' F' for proposed mounded system.

VIII. CONCLUSION and RECOMMENDATIONS:
After considering the three alternatives suggested by DEHNR
it is apparent that the public treatment and spray irrigation
system are not feasible for this site. The subsurface disposal
options appear to be feasible for either the leaching type system
or the evapotranspiration system. Before the leaching system can
be considered a soil study must be conducted to determine the
leaching capabilities.
This report has not attempted to address the cost of the
subsurface disposal systems until the soil tests are conducted.
From preliminary information it appears the two systems will be
close in total costs of installation.
A final determination on the type of system will be made
after the May 11 , 1994 meeting with DEHNR
representatives in Union Mills .

determination.
Should a sewer line be available for connection within the next five years entry
1_(a)immediately above should be evaluated.
2. Subsurface Disposal System( Installation of nitrification systems, low pressure pipe
systems and mound systems)
Note: Subsurface disposal systems (i.e., low pressure systems and nitrification systems) are
only permitted by DEM for the following types of facilities: city owned facilities, county
owned facilities, public utility facilities and industrial facilities with an industrial
wastewater component. Other categories of facilities (i.e.,privately owned mobile home
parks, homeowner associations, nursing homes, industrial facilities with 100% domestic •
waste, etc.) are permitted by local county health departments. Any facility in the latter
category must obtain a statement from the local County Health Department concerning
suitability/unsuitability of soils for subsurface systems.

for a spray irrigation system.
(1) Provide a preliminary report from a soil scientist with a loading rate
recommendation based on soil type.
(2) Provide calculations to determine land size requirements based on design
and loading rate characteristics.
(3) Indicate if all buffer zone requirements are met according to 15 NCAC
2H .0219 (j). Provide a site plan indicating proposed layout of
spray irrigation system. -
(4) If there is sufficient useable land, considering the existing
project development plan, what modifications to the plan (such as
reducing the number of units produced, the reduction of design flow,
etc...)would be necessary to allow for adequate useable land on the site.
(5) If there is insufficient useable land on the project site, proceed to entry
3 (b). Otherwise, proceed to Section II. B.
b., Determine if adjacent land could be acquired through purchase or
permanent easement. Provide documentation of availability. If adjacent
land could be acquired, evaluate according to entry 3 (a)immediately above.
B. If one or more of the three non-discharge alternatives, II.A(1), (2) or (3), were found
to be environmentally feasible, select one and notify DEM that the alternative will be
undertaken. DEM will assist the permit applicant with making the shift from the
discharge to a non-discharge system. If a non-discharge application is selected, the
rest of this analysis is not required to be completed.
If one or more of the three non-discharge alternatives were found to be
environmentally feasible, but the permit applicant does not wish to select one in
lieu of continuing the existing discharge to a zero flow stream because he claims
doing so would be unreasonably costly, cost estimates prepared according to
Section III of this Guidance must be submitted to DEM. Proceed to Section II.C.
If none of the three alternatives; II A.(1),(2),or(3) were found to be environmentally
feasible,proceed to Section II.C.
C. . Evaluate the environmental feasibility of relocation of the discharge to a flowing
stream (defined as a stream with 7Q10/30Q2>0 cfs or 7Q10=0 and 30Q2>0 cfs
flows).
NOTE: This section is not required to be completed unless the three
non-discharge alternatives evaluated in Section II.A.were found to be

Page 4
environmentally infeasible, or if one or more of the alternatives were found to be
environmentally feasible but the permit applicant claims that selecting any of the
environmentally feasible alternatives would be unreasonably costly.
Criteria: If a stream with a positive 7Q10 is within reach then it should be selected
over a 7Q10=0 and 30Q2>O flow stream which is also within reach
1. Indicate distance to nearest stream with positive flow meeting the above criteria
(attach topographic map indicating current existing/proposed discharge point and new
proposed location).
Note: Effluent limitations for a new discharge site may be different from those
contained in a current NPDES permit. Effluent limitations for a new site
may only be determined after formal application for modification of an
NPDES permit. However, for discharges to 7Q10=0 and 30Q2>0 cfs
streams, oxygen consuming effluent limitations are set at 5 mg/1 BOD5, 1
mg/1 NH3-N and 6 mg/1 DO. Other parameters should be updated and
incorporated.in the permit to reflect water quality standards and
regulations in existence at the time the wasteload allocation is prepared.
2. Provide documentation as to whether,or not third parties agree to provide necessary
easements if applicable.
D. If relocation of the discharge to a flowing stream is determined'to be environmentally
feasible, and if none of Alternatives II. A(1),- (2), and (3) were found to be
environmentally feasible, select relocation to a flowing stream and report to DEM.
However,if the permit applicant does not wish to select relocation of the discharge to a
flowing stream in lieu of continuing the existing discharge to a zero flow stream because
he claims doing so would be unreasonably costly, cost estimates prepared according to
Section III of this Guidance must be submitted to DEM.
If relocation of the discharge to a flowing stream is determined not to be environmentally
feasible, and if none of Alternatives II. 'A(1), (2), and (3.) were found to be
environmentally feasible, submit the evaluation of all four alternatives to DEM as
prepared above. The remainder of this evaluation is not required unless DEM determines
that one or more of the alternatives is environmentally feasible. -
r .
III. COST ESTIMATION AND COMPARISON
NOTE: Section III must be completed only if one or more of Alternatives (1), (2), and (3)
evaluated in Section II.A.'or relocation of the discharge evaluated in Section H.C. were found to
be environmentally feasible and the permit applicant claims that selecting the least costly of the
feasible alternatives would be unreasonably costly.
A. Prepare cost estimates in accordance with the following guidelines for each of Alternatives II
A. (1), (2) and (3) that were found to be environmentally feasible. Be sure to convert all f
costs to present value as described in Section III.E.

d. Determine the operating expenses of the spray irrigation system (i.e. materials,
utilities,maintenance and operator costs) for the design period.

Page 6
B. If relocation of the discharge to a flowing stream was found to be environmentally feasible in
Section II.C., prepare a cost estimate in accordance with the following guidance. Be sure
to convert all costs to present value as described in Section III.E.
1. Provide detailed cost estimate of installed sewer line to new location and pump
station(s) if applicable (i.e. materials and labor).
2. Indicate cost of easements if applicable (include documentation of offer to provide
easement with dollar amount from appropriate party).
3. Provide installed cost associated with upgrading existing facilities to meet more
stringent effluent limitations including nutrient removal if applicable.
4. Determine the operating expenses of the WWTP (i.e. materials, utilities, maintenance
and operator costs) for design period.
Note: Effluent limitations for a new discharge site may be different from those contained
in a current NPDES permit. Effluent limitations for a new site may only be
determined after formal application for modification of an NPDES permit.
However,for discharges to 7Q10=0 and 30Q2>0 cfs streams, oxygen consuming
effluent limitations are set at 5 mg/1 BOD5, 1 mg/1 NH3-N and 6 mg/1 DO. Other
parameters should be updated and incorporated in the permit to reflect water
quality standards and regulations in existence at the time the wasteload allocation
is prepared.
C. If the existing discharge to a zero-flow stream is not removed (Alternatives II.A (1), (2), or
(3)) or relocated to a flowing stream, the NPDES permit effluent limits will be revised to 5
mg/1 BOD5, 1 mg/1 NH3-N, and 6 mg/1 DO at the existing location. Nutrient removal
capabilities, and other requirements such as toxicity limitations, may also be applicable. If
one or more of Alternatives 1, 2, and 3 (Section II.A.) or the alternative of relocating the
discharge to a flowing stream (Section II.C.) were found to be environmentally feasible, but
the permit applicant does not wish to select any of them because he claims they would be
unreasonably costly, prepare a cost estimate in accordance with the following guidance for
continuation of the discharge with the additional limitations: Be sure to convert all costs to
present value as described in Section DIE.
Cost estimation for continuation of discharge with 5 mg/1 BOD5, 1 mg/1 NH3-N, 6 mg/1 DO
and nutrient removal capabilities,if applicable, must be considered at the existing discharge.
Toxicity limitations, dechlorination or alternative methods of disinfection should also be
considered at existing location.
1. Provide calculation of cost associated with upgrading existing facilities to meet more
stringent effluent limitations including nutrient removal if applicable.
2. Determine the operating expenses of the WWTP (i.e. materials, utilities, maintenance
and operator costs) for the design period.

D. Cost Comparison
Title 15 NCAC 2H.0105(c)(2) requires that the most environmentally sound wastewater
disposal alternative be selected from the reasonably cost effective options. It is considered
that, of the five options evaluated under this guidance,continuation of the discharge to a
zero-flow stream with the increased limitations described in Section III.C. is the least
environmentally.. sound alternative. Relocation of the discharge to a stream with
7Q10/30Q2>0 cfs or 7Q10=0 and 30Q2>0 cfs flows, evaluated in' Section II.C, is
environmentally preferable, if it is found to be environmentally feasible. The three
non-discharge alternatives evaluated in Section II.A. are assumed to be roughly equivalent
alternatives where they are found to be environmentally feasible, and preferable to either
relocation or continuation of the discharge.
Therefore,if a permit applicant has determined the environmental feasibility of one or more
of the alternatives, but he claims the alternative(s) would be unreasonably costly, he must
present justification of the claim based on the appropriate cost comparison fromamong the
following:
- If relocation of the discharge to a flowing stream was determined not to be
environmentally feasible, compare the cost of continuing the existing discharge with
increased limitations as estimated in Section III.C. with the lowest cost non-discharge
alternative as estimated in Section M.A. Present justification as to why the difference in
the two costs would be unreasonable.
pit
- If relocation of the discharge to a flowing stream was determined to be environmentally
feasible, and if one or more of the three non-discharge alternatives were determined to be
environmentally feasible, compare the cost of relocation as estimated in Section III.B.
with the lowest cost alternative of the environmentally feasible non-discharge alternatives
as estimated in Section III.A. Present justification as to why the difference in the two
costs would be unreasonable.
QR:
- If relocation of the discharge to a flowing stream was determined to be environmentally
feasible, but the permit applicant claims it would be unreasonably costly, and/or none of
the three non-discharge alternatives were determined to be environmentally feasible,
compare the cost of relocation as estimated in Section III.B. with the cost of continuing
the existing discharge with increased limitations as estimated in Section III.C. Present
justification as to why the difference in the two costs would be unreasonable.
E. Present Value of Costs
Costs incurred in different time periods must be converted to a common time period before
they can be accurately combined or compared. Performing this calculation is known as
"computing the present value," or "discounting" the costs. Present value is also sometimes
called "present discounted value" or"present worth".

Page 8
The following standard formula for computing the present value must be used in all cost
estimates made under this evaluation guidance.
n
PV= Co + Ct—
t =1 (1 +r)t
Where:
PV = Present value of costs.
Co = Costs incurred in the present year.
Ct = Costs incurred in time t.
t = Time period after the present year (The present year is t=0)
n = Ending year of the life of the facility.
r = Discount rate. for these calculations, use the rate that is required to be used by all
Federal agencies in the formulation and evaluation of water and related land
resources plans. The rate is computed annually in accordance with Sec. 80 (a)
Public Law 93-251 [88 Stat. 34] and 18 CFR 70439, and published in the
Federal Register. The current rate (for Federal Fiscal year 1989-90) is 8 7/8%.
Therefore in the above formula for this year,r= .08875.
However, if the costs are the same in every time period from year one through year n (i.e.,
Ct = C, a constant for t = 1,2,..., n ), then the formula reduces to:
n
1 - 1
(1+r)
PV. Co + C i
(1+r) 1 - 1
(l+r)
In this case, the present value may also be looked up in a table containing the present value of
annuities (an annuity is a constant amount payable in each year for a certain number of years).
Such tables are available from financial institutions.

GUIDANCE FOR EVA,„ATION OF WASTEWATER DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES
(Discharges to zero flow streams version)
North Carolina Department of Environment,Health and Natural Resources
Division of Environmental Management
Water Quality Section
The purpose of.:this document is to provide guidance to consulting firms evaluating
wastewater disposal alternatives that are environmentally superior to the discharge of treated
wastewater to surface waters of the State, as is required by North Carolina Administrative Code
2H.0105 (c). The evaluation must be conducted by a professional engineer certified by the State
of North Carolina. This guidance was developed by the the Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) to evaluate disposal alternatives for NPDES permit holding facilities
discharging into 7Q10/30Q2 = 0 cfs streams, and therefore it evaluates relocation of the
discharge to a stream with positive 7Q10 flow and the continuation of discharge with more
stringent effluent limitations as alternatives. A similar guidance is available from DEM to
evaluate alternatives for proposed(new or expansion) discharges. Adherence to this format shall
ensure consistency of the evaluation methodology employed by consultants along with a
consistent information base for the decision-making by DEM.
The evaluation will first consider wastewater treatment alternatives that result in the
elimination of the discharge to a zero flow stream. If one or more of the three non-discharge
alternatives evaluated(connection to a sewerage system, subsurface disposal, or spray irrigation)
are found to be environmentally feasible, the permit applicant should select one and notify the
Division of Environmental Management that the alternative will be employed.DEM will assist the
permit applicant with making the shift from a discharge to a non-discharge system. No further
evaluation of the alternatives is required.
If none of the three non-discharge alternatives are found to be environmentally feasible, the
environmental feasibility of relocation of the discharge to a flowing stream is evaluated. If this
alternative is found to be environmentally feasible, the permit applicant should choose this
alternative and notify DEM. No further evaluation of the alternatives is required.
However, if the applicant does not wish to choose any of the non-discharge alternatives or
relocation of the discharge that were found to be environmentally feasible, because he claims
selecting even the least costly,of these would be unreasonably costly, he must prepare cost
estimates according to the guidance for the feasible alternatives. For comparison, he must also
estimate the cost of continuing the existing discharge with revised NPDES Permit effluent limits.
He must present justification as to why the additional cost of the non-discharge or relocation
alternative would be unreasonably costly.
It is important that the consulting engineer maintain close contact with the regional offices of
the Department of the Environment,Health and Natural Resources (DEHNR) in their jurisdiction
during the engineering evaluation. The Water Quality Section of DEM at the regional offices will
validate the accuracy of each report and make final recommendations regarding the reissuance of
an NPDES permit upon consultation with DEM's central office in Raleigh. Please make sure to
include the attachments requested and do not omit any entries unless you are instructed to omit
entries. The outline provided represents the minimum requirements to carry out the analysis.
You may include additional information that in your opinion may be relevant to the evaluation.
However, evaluations that do not meet the minimum guidance requirements shall be considered
incomplete and may be returned to the applicant for corrections and/or additional information.
Without additional information that satisfies DEM's concerns,renewal of an NPDES permit shall
be denied.
Deadlines for submittal of the evaluation shall be met accordingly unless specific
arrangements have been made with the regional office in advance. Please note that failure to
submit the evaluation by the required date will represent noncompliance with an existing NPDES
permit and subject the permittee to civil penalties and/or permit revocation.

RE: Application#NC0032174 .
Dear Mr. Alvarez,
In response to your letter of January 31,. 1994 concerning:
1. Disposal of sludge-material from septic tank pumped on an annual basis
2. Alternate discharge method
a. Publicly owned treatment works =not available
b. Spray irrigation=feasibility ?
c. Subsurface disposal=engineering study required
Mr. Alvarez, since the waste treating facility presently serves United World Mission and
the Union Mills Middle School (Rutherford County)we need to hire an engineering firm
that would be acceptable to both parties. I will begin this process immediately.
Sincerely

Introduction
• Onsite sewage disposal systems are fast becoming the method of
choice over sewer interceptors in urban America. However., they are
both advantageous and deleterious by their very nature. For
instance, only a limited amount of land (32 percent of the nation)1
is available for their use because of their soil absorption
requirements . This results in -high land prices , restricts growth
until sewers are (if ever) installed, and generally necessitates the.
utilization of prime agricultural land to meet developmental needs.
On the other hand, the system is economically far more desirable
than regional sewage treatment in regards to installation and opera-
tional costs ,3 and from the standpoint of recycling the natural
resources in the wastewater effluent. In addition by virture of its
"individualism" it does not superimpose or create any new social or
political structures on the people using it.4 Thus , it can be seen
that a two-headed dragon has emerged with the utilization of:
conventional onsite sewage disposal.
To ameliorate this situation a wastewater effluent disposal
system unlike conventional soil absorption systems should be developed
so as to increase the amount of land available for onsite installa-
tions , decrease the unit cost of :;_nstallation and operation if
possible , and maintain. aethetically pleasing landscapes and
environments. To meet this need an investigation of the evapo-
transpiration of wastewater effluent was conducted at the Firelands
Campus of Bowling Green State University and throughout Erie County,
Ohio on the southern shore of Lake Erie from November 1975 to
November 1976. The main purpose of. this research was to determine and
evaluate the controlling parameters of wastewater effluent disposal by
a combinEttion of evaporation and transpiration.
Theory
Evapotranspiration is a two step 'process involving evaporation,
which in this instance is the changing of the liquid wastewater
effluent to a vapor at the interface between the soil and the atmos-
phere; and transpiration, which is the giving off of moisture through
the surface of leaves and other parts of plants.
5
The parameters which effectively govern these two mechanisms can
be summarized into two categories The first group are primary
factors which can be regulated and they include : (1) type of treat-
ment, (2) type of tree, number, and size, (3) type of mound soil ,
(4) length of mound, (5.) type of ground cover, (6) dosing frequency,
(7) - dosing mechanism, (8) amount of wastewater effluent dosed,
(9) deliberate dosing interruption, and (10) groundwater interference .
The second group are secondary factors which can' t be easily regulated
and they include : (1) climatic conditions, (2)' meterologic
conditions , 6ard6 (3) physical and chemical qualities of the treated
wastewater. ,

•
Method
Following the general rules9 set down by Dr. Alfred P.
Bernhart of the University of Toronto , approximately thirty individ-
ual evapotranspiration home units , and one trailer park unit were
installed under the direction of the Erie County Health Department
starting in the simmer of 1972. Each unit was different in nature
with respect to the primary factors set down in the theory above.
After three years of general operation, several controlling factors
emerged and were incorporated into four new research units at the
Firelands Campus in the summer of 1975. The configuration of the
• general installation is illustrated in Figure 1. '

Starting in November of 1975 and for one year thereafter,
two home unit sites , the trailer park site, and the research units
at Firelands Campus were visited bi-weekly. On each visitation
the systems were visually inspected for operational performance , and
effluent samples from the treatment units prior to evapotranspiration
were collected. •.Dissolved oxygen , pH , and temperature were monitored
at the site. The' other tests which included total solids , BOD,
suspended solids , and conductivity were run at the Firelands Campus
environmental laboratory in accordance with "Standard Methods" .
Results and Discussion
The regulated primary factors which control the amount of
evapotranspiration for the units investigated are summarized in

The unregulated secondary factors which control the amount of
evapotranspiration for the units investigated were limited to physical
and chemical qualities of treated wastewater and are summarized in
Table 2. The climatic and meterologic conditions were not listed
because of their wide variance throughout the test period. It is
sufficient to say '=.that this location (Erie County, Ohio) is of a
northern temperate climate that has an approximate lake evaporation
of 30 inches per year. II

Starting first with the treatment mode it would be easy to
assume that an aerobic system is desirable since all the test
units used them. However, this assumption is inaccurate when
performance of individual aerobic units is compared with individual
anaerobic units as summerized in Table 3 . These values indicate
that the two treatment modes show minor performance differences ,
and therefore , the evapotranspiration system could be potentially
installed with an anaerobic (septic tank) treatment unit.

The type, size and number of trees is the next primary factor
to be considered. The observations made in years prior to the test
period indicated that four foot Austrian and Scotch Pines would be
the best suited for initial start up , and therefore , they were
used at Firelands Campus on units 1 and 2 . The alfalfa and Cedar
shrubs were chosen for comparative purposes and were installed on
units 3 and 4 . The controlling factors that emerged are the initial
size of the vegetation , its water uptake , and whether it had a
taproot which would disrupt the leach bed.
From the observations made during the test period and the fact
that none of the systems were overloaded to failure , it can be said
that all the vegetation utilized on the Firelands Campus test units
was sufficient for startup of the systems . However , if the alfalfa
had been initially planted in the off season , its water uptake
abilities would have been severely limited. Furthermore , the primary
factors indicated that for home units the number of trees and length
of mound could be cut in half to eight trees and 50 feet respectively
without failure.
Looking at the mound soil it can be said that it must be
somewhat porous to allow evaporation to occur. However, it is not
necessary to haul in sand as previously thought. 14 The ground cdver
increased the evapotranspiration during its growing season , and in
the case of the alfalfa it seems to have increased the winter
evaporation rate since the system did not fail during this critical
period. Perhaps the deep alfalfa roots made the soil more open , and
this led to a greater wintertime evaporative capability.
The quantitative capacity of the system was originally limited
to a maximum of 3 gallons/linear foot of mound/day by the Erie
County Health Department in accordance with the liter.ature . 15 But
the test data for the Firelands Campus units indicates 9 gallons/
linear foot of mound/day. This in turn correlates closely with the
trailer park figures of approximately 10 gallons/linear foot of
mound/day . This is most likely due to the fact that the treated
effluent contains highly desirable nutrients in an easily digestible
form which the trees need for their growth.16 In addition , once the
trees get use to a steady diet of wastewater effluent, they appear
to maintain their water consumption rate throughout the winter months
instead of just seasonally as was originally thought.
The dosing mechanism can be either gravity flow or by mechanical
means. Both systems work equally well . However, it is to be
. expected that under gravity flow the trees closer to the effluent
discharge will grow more rapidly as was illustrated at the trailer
park system. The interruption of the dosing of the effluent did not
appear to adversely effect any of the systems under study. In a
different climate this may not always be true.
Groundwater interferences occurred in all the systems that did
not have a plastic liner . This was inferred by the fact that all
the systems without plastic liners had water resting in their inspection

-- 9 -
boxes periodically throughout the year, whereas , those with plastic
liners never had any water at all in their inspection' boxes.
In addition to the end of the line inspection box, it was
decided about half way through the test period 'that an inspection
box at the beginning of the mound would be useful for making
observations and •for aerating the leach line as a form of
preventive. maintenance. But during the test period this change was
never put into operation and at this point it is just a suggestion.
Although the winter of 1976-77 was not part of the test period
it is informative to know that the individual home units and the
trailer park unit operated without mishap throughout the winter.
This included approximately twenty days below 0°F and sixty days
below freezing. During this time span the Firelands Campus units
were shut down and nothing can be reported about their performance.
Summary and Conclusions
Based on the one year test period beginning November 1975 and
going through October 1976 at the research locations previously cited
the following conclusions can be made and are illustrated in Figure 2.
•
1. The evapotranspiration system as defined in this
report works well when attached to an individual
aerobic unit or a package extended aeration unit.
2. The evapotranspiration system as defined in this
report could be potentially attached to an individual
anaerobic (septic. tank) unit.
3. The preferred trees , size , and planting interval are
Scotch or Austrian Pines , ,a minimum of four feet high,
and spaced six feet apart. •
4. Alfalfa' s long root system appears to increase the
wintertime evaporative capabilitycf the mound and
therefore , it should be used as the ground cover of
choice over the mound.
5. The quantitative capacity of the evapotranspiration
system as defined in this report is between 9 to 10
gallons/linear foot of mound/day on a year round basis.
6. Dosing interruption does not effect the evapo-
transpiration system.
7. The dosing mechanism can be by gravity flow or
• mechanical means .
8. Groundwater interference can be precluded by installing
a plastic liner under the mound.

In summary, the evapotransporation system as specifically
defined in this report is a viable alternative for failing
conventional soil absorption systems . It can also be used in a far
greater number of locations not normally available for the
conventional systems , and it is relatively inexpensive if designed
and installed properly. 17 Furthermore , its use will result in an
enhanced landscape that will not degrade the surrounding environment.

United World Mission Construction Sequence Plan
All piping, tank and filter installation, etc., will be completed while the current system
remains in operation (these will be built alongside existing piping, where applicable).
The system will be shut down temporarily to install a valve in the existing line as well as
a wye leading to the new piping along with a valve, as well. A pump truck will be
present to pump septage should the need occur.
The old system valve will be closed, the new valve will be opened and the power applied
to the effluent pumps. All components of the system will be checked and adjusted as
required, and any modifications will be made, as necessary. Once the new system is fully
operational,the old system will be abandoned and removed,where applicable.

Project Description:
The purpose of this project is to replace the current tablet chlorination/dechlorination
system with an ultraviolet disinfection system. The purpose of this is to eliminate the
need for sensitive chlorine detection equipment as well as eliminating the need for
chemical purchasing and on-site storage.
Construction Sequence Plan:
The building(pre-fab)will be set in place and electrical systems within the building
(50A, 220V panel)will be installed. Wiring for the UV system, heater,lighting and two
sets of 120V, 15A outlets will be completed: The UV unit will be wall-mounted and
PV,C lines will be installed on the influent and effluent side. The influent side will run to
the proposed wetwell and pump,with the effluent running directly to the discharge point
at the creek. During the above installation, installation of the wetwell can/will happen
simultaneously. An area beneath the effluent pipe from the sand filter will be excavated,
and the wetwell placed beneath. Once in place and the electrical is done,the pump will
be lowered into the wetwell,the wetwell will be filled with potable water and the system
will be tested for leaks. When all testing is complete and the UV system is operational,
the effluent-pipe will be-cut allowing flow into the pump wetwell. The existing effluent
gravity line from the wetwell will remain in place, and will serve as an emergency
backup in the event of pump failure.

--- -- =• - Tank Anti-Flotation Calculations
The following information is a calculation to determine the necessary concrete anchor size required to offset the •
buoyancy force of the water displaced due to placing a structure in the ground. These calculations are based
on the average value of concrete density of 150 pcf minus the buoyancy force of water--62.4 pcf—for a net
density of 87.6 pcf(since we are assuming the anchor and structure are submerged).
In this scenario,the inside length of the structure is 36 inches and the inside width of the structure is 42 inches
with a total depth of 3 feet. The wall thickness (t) is 0 inches, and the bottom thickness (T) is 0 inches. Below
is the calculation of the displaced water volume, weight of the water in pounds, weight of the structure in
pounds, and the cubic yards of concrete required to offset this buoyancy force.
Displaced Water Volume
V= (len+2t)(wid+2t)(d) = 13 ft][3.5 ft](3 ft]= 31.5 cubic feet
Weight of Displaced Water
W= (V)(density)_ [31.5 ct](62.4 pct] 1965.6 pounds
Structure Concrete Volume •
Top of Structure Area=[if length+2tJ*[width+2t1]-[length *width]] = 0 sf
Bot.Area= [length +2t]*[width] = 10.5 sf
V= (Riser A)(D)+(Bot.Area)(T)= [0 si7[3 ft]+[10.5 sf](0 ft]= 0 cubic feet
Submerged Weight of clarifier
W= M(density)= [0 cf][87.6 pcf]= 0 pounds
Required Weight of Concrete
W= (wt.of water)-(wt. of clarifier) [1965.6 lbs]-[0 lbs]= 1965.6 pounds
•
Required Volume of Concrete
V= (weight)/(density)(27 cf/cy)= [1965.6 lbs]/[87.6 pcf](27 cf/cy]= 0.83 cubic yards

PRODUCT APPLICATION
CONSTRUCTION
— - - • ---The-water-purifier is designed to mount horizontally.Mount on a horizontal surface or vertical surface using---- ---------
the optional wall mounting kit.
• A drain port on the chamber aids in draining of the purifier. -
• The water purifier chamber is passivated and electropolished Stainless Steel Type 304.
• The ballast housing is Stainless Steel Type 304.
• Coated chambers are available for uses with special applications,consult Factory.
• Easy-off end caps allow for quick and easy lamp change,without disconnecting from the water supply or draining
the purifier.No tools are required:
• 120V/60Hz versions of the Mighty*PureTM water purifier are equipped with the Fire ShieldTm with
ShockshieldTM power cord.The Fire ShieldTM with ShockshieldTM power cord helps eliminate fires caused by
worn or frayed power cords,while protecting users from electrical shocks due to ground faults.The appliance
leakage current interrupter(ALCI),built into the power cord, does not protect against circuit overloads or short
circuits,but in the event of a ground fault,will trip and quickly cut the power to prevent serious injury.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Mighty*PureTM design has been carefully conceived to provide adequate germicidal dosage throughout the
disinfection chamber.The dosage,as it applies to ultraviolet disinfection,is a function of time and the intensity of
ultraviolet radiation to which the water is exposed.The exposure time,.in seconds,is the total time it takes the water to
flow through the disinfection chamber exposing it to the germicidal lamp.Exposure time is related to the flow rate;the
higher the flow rate,the lower the exposure time or the lower the flow rate,the higher the exposure time.The
ultraviolet intensity is the amount of energy;per unit time,emitted by the germicidal The Dosage is the producf.
of ultraviolet intensity and the exposure time.The operation of the Mighty*PureTM is as follows: -
1. Water enters the purifier and flows into the annular space between the quartz sleeve and the chamber wall.
2. Suspended microorganisms are exposed to the ultraviolet rays emitted by the germicidal lamp.
3. The translucent sight port,or optional ultraviolet monitor,provides visual indication of germicidal lamp operation.
4. Water leaving the purifier is instantly ready for use,no further contact time is required.
LIMITATION OF USE
The water purifier is intended for the use with visually clear water,not colored,cloudy or turbid.
See"Water.Quality"section below.
The water purifier is NOT intended for the treatment of water that has an obvious contamination or intentional source,
such as raw sewage;nor is the unit intended to convert wastewater to microbiologically safe drinking water.
WATER QUALITY
Water quality plays a major role in the transmission of germicidal ultraviolet rays.It is recommended that the water
does not exceed the following maximum concentration levels:
Table 1-Maximum Concentration Levels
Turbidity: 5 NTT
Manganese: 0.05mg/1
Total Suspended Solids: 10 mg/1
pH: 6.5-9.5
Color: None
Hardness: 6 GPG
Iron: 0.3 mg/1
Effectively treating water with higher concentration levels than listed above can be accomplished,but may require
added measures to improve water quality to treatable levels.If,for any reason,it is believed the ultraviolet transmission
is not satisfactory,contact the factory.

INSTALLATION
LOCATION.
-=- ---1 --The water purifier is intended for indoor use only.The water purifier should be protected from-the elements and
from temperatures below freezing.The ambient temperature,in the area surrounding the water purifier,should be
between 33°F and 100°F.
2. Electrical power supplied to the water purifier MUST match power requirements listed on the water purifier.Use
of a.voltage surge protector is recommended.
3.; The water purifier should be located in a dry,well-lit area,which provides enough room to perform routine
maintenance.This includes a minimum distance of one chamber length from the chamber end,to allow for
cleaning and/or the changing of the lamp and quartz sleeve as well as a minimum of 6"on the opposite end of the..
water purifier.
4. The water purifier should always be located closest to the point of use.This reduces the chance of the purified
water being re-contaminated by bacteria in the water distribution system after the water purifier.
5. :The water purifier should be located after all other water devices,such as De-ionizers,Water Softeners,Carbon
Filters,Pre-Filters,Reverse Osmosis,Pressure Tanks,and Pumps.This reduces the chance of the purified water
being re-contaminated by bacteria in any of these units.
INSTALLATION.
1. Remove water purifier from shipping,carton.Inspect water purifier,power cord and plug for damage.Do not
operate if there is any damage to the purifier,power cord or plug.Models MP13 through MP22 are shipped with
the lamps already installed,while the MP36B and the MP49B lamps are packed separately.Keep the lamp aside
for installation once the purifier has been properly installed.
2.' Units occasionally experience damage in shipment due to.the fragility of the quartz sleeve. It is therefore
recommended to inspect the water purifier for damage to the quartz sleeve after it has been removed from the.
shipping carton.Each end of the unit as well as the inlet and outlet should be viewed to see if the quartz sleeve has
experienced damage.If the quartz sleeve shows signs of damage it should be replaced before the purifier is
pressurized. See"Quartz Sleeve Cleaning or Replacement"in the"Maintenance"section for the proper
method of replacing the quartz sleeve in your water purifier.

3. The water purifier should be mounted horizontally on a flat dry surface. Secure the water purifier using the
mounting holes in the ballast housing or with the optional wall mounting kit.The purifier should not be solely
supported by its plumbing connections.
4. The water purifier must be connected to the cold water line only.
5. It is recommended that a 5-micron sediment filter be installed,in line,prior to the water purifier.The sediment
T._filter will stop or trap any particulates from entering the water purifier.Particulates may cause damage to the • — "
quartz sleeve,as well as interfere with the purifier's ability to disinfect the water.The sediment filter may also help
to reduce the amount of routine cleaning of the quartz sleeve.
6. Shut off valves should be installed on both the inlet and outlet sides of the water purifier.The use of bypass
valves is not recommended.The shut offff valves allow the purifier to be isolated from the water supply,which is
required when removing the quartz sleeve:
7. Unions should be installed on both the inlet and outlet of the water purifier;this will allow easy removal of the
water purifier from the plumbing,if required.Apply Teflon tape to threads of inlet and outlet ports to ensure a
tight seal.
8. When all plumbing connections are complete,allow water to enter the water purifier at a low flow rate,until the
purifier is pressurized.With the purifier pressurized,it should be checked for leaks.Once it is determined that
there are no leaks,the inlet valve can be fully opened.
9. For Models with lamps packed separately,install lamp following the steps in
"LAMP INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT"section.
A CAUTION: Lamp and quartz sleeve are easily damaged.Exercise care when installing lamp.
10. Once the plumbing hook ups are made,it is a good practice to disinfect the"downstream"plumbing between the
purifier and point of use.This is done by introducing chlorine into the purifier chamber,a 100-ppm solution of
chlorine is suggested.With the chlorine in the purifier chamber,turn the ultraviolet purifier on.Open the
"downstream"outlet until a chlorine odor is noticed. Close the outlet and allow the chlorine to remain in the
plumbing for three(3)hours.Flush the plumbing with ultraviolet purified water; allow the water to run for"several.'
minutes before use.This will allow the chlorine to be flushed from the pipes.

RECOMMENDED OPTIONS
1 . Guardian"'Ultraviolet Monitor:Visually indicates the level of germicidal ultraviolet energy that penetrates the
quartz sleeve and the water within the water purifier.The ultraviolet monitor is capable of operating an optional
audio alarm and/or solenoid valve.The ultraviolet monitor will detect reduction of ultraviolet levels due to:
•--Fouling or deposits on the quartz sleeve..
• Poor ultraviolet transmission through the water; color,turbidity,and organic or other impurities in the water can
reduce or interfere with the transmission of ultraviolet rays.
• Lamp outage,component or power failure. -
•.Depreciation of the lamp output due to usage or other cause.Lamp output gradually depreciates with use.Lamp
replacement is recommended once each year.
• Use of the Guardianlm UItraviolet Monitor is recommended by the U. S.Public Health Service"Criteria for
the Acceptability of an Ultraviolet Disinfection Unit." .
2. SentryTM Safety Sensor:Pilot lamps provide constant visual monitoring of normal operation.In the event of
power or lamp failure the safety sensor indicates an alarm condition.The safety sensor is capable of operating an
optional audio alarm and/or solenoid valve. -
3. Steralert:Lamp Status Alarm produces a high pitched,pulsed tone when the water purifier is no longer
functioning due to lamp or power failure.
4. Flow Control Valve:Limits water flow to the rated capacity of the purifier.The flow control valve is located in •
line prior to the water purifier,and should be protected from ultraviolet exposure by the use of a 90-degree elbow
_ fitting_between the flow control valve and the water purifier. - -- - - - --- - - - __ _
= 5: —Audio Alarm:Activated by the Ultraviolet Monitor or Safety Sensor,alerts the user-to any malfunction-detected._/
6. Solenoid Valve: Operated in conjunction with the Ultraviolet Monitor, Safety Sensor or Time Delay Mechanism,
this valve prevents water flow through the water purifier when an abnormal condition is detected or in the event of
power failure.
7. Elapsed Time Indicator:A non-resettable display of the water purifier operating hours.Useful for scheduling and
recording maintenance and lamp replacement.
8. Time Delay Mechanism:Provides a 2-minute warm up period during which the ultraviolet lamp achieves its full
germicidal output before the water is allowed to flow through the water purifier.The time delay mechanism is used
in conjunction with, and is electrically connected to the Solenoid Valve.
9. Wall Mount Kit: Stainless steel wall brackets provide quick and easy installation and professional finish.
Pre-drilled and ready to install. Optimizes free air circulation to cool ballast housing
MAINTENANCE
The water purifier is designed to operate with a minimal amount of maintenance,providing the water quality does not
exceed maximum concentration levels,see"Water Quality"in the"Product Application"section.Ordinary mainte-
nance consists of;
• Testing the ALCI monthly or before each use. .
• Lamp replacement is recommended every 10,000 hours of operation,approximately 12 months of continuous service.
• Cleaning of the quartz sleeve,when conditions warrant.
• Always disconnect the water supply and completely drain the water purifier if it will be subjected to
temperatures below freezing,for extended periods of time.
INSPECTION -
1. Regularly inspect the water purifier to ensure that the germicidal lamp is still in operation.
• On purifiers not equipped with the Ultraviolet Monitor,lamp operation can be verified by a visible glow
through the translucent sight port.This provides an indication of lamp operation and does not indicate the level
of ultraviolet intensity or transmission through the water.
• On purifiers so equipped,the GuardianTM Ultraviolet Monitor provides visual indication of the ultraviolet
intensity through the quartz sleeve and water in the purifier chamber.
2. To ensure proper operation of the water purifier,regular biological testing should be performed on a schedule
recommended by local public health authorities,or at minimum; at installation,quarterly for the first year of
service and annually,at lamp replacement,for the life of the water purifier.

REPLACEMENT OF BROKEN QUARTZ SLEEVE
A CAUTION: Broken Quartz is SHARP.It is recommended that protective goggles and gloves
are worn when handling broken quartz sleeves.
1. Disconnect power to water purifier.
2. Shut off water supply to the water purifier via the inlet and outlet shut off valves.Drain the chamber by
removing the drain plug.Once the chamber is drained,remove any old sealing tape from the threads of the
drain plug,rewrap with'''A"wide Teflon®thread sealing tape,reinstall and tighten the drain plug.
3. Follow the steps in"LAMP INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT"to remove lamp.
4. To prevent damage to the electrical components,it is necessary to separate the ballast housing from the
purifier chamber.
• On Mighty*Purer"'Models MP13,MP16,and MP22,the ballast housing is mounted to the purifier
chamber using four(4)No. 8 x 3/8"long screws.Using a Phillips cross point screwdriver,carefully
remove the four(4)screws,from along the sides of the ballast housing,and set aside. Separate the
housing from the chamber.
• On Mighty*PureTM Models MP36B,and MP49B,the ballast housing is mounted to the purifier chamber
using four(4) '/"-20 x 3/8"long hex head bolts.Using a 7/16"wrench or an adjustable wrench,carefully
remove the four(4)bolts with the lock and flat washers,from along the top of the ballast housing,and set
aside. Separate the housing from the chamber.
• Keep ballast housing and mounting hardware in a clean,dry area.
5. Unscrew static gland nuts from each end of the chamber.
Remove Teflon washer and o-ring from both ends,of quartz sleeve.Teflon washer will some times remain
within the static gland nut.If so,remove Teflon washer from static gland nut before proceeding.
6. Carefully remove as much of the broken quartz sleeve as possible,from each end of the chamber.
7. To remove fragments of quartz sleeve,hold the purifier vertically and shake:The quartz fragments will-
break and drop out of the purifier through the gland fitting.Flush water through chamber being careful to
remove all quartz fragments from the interior of the chamber.
8. Carefully discard all pieces of the broken quartz sleeve.
9. Align the end of the replacement quartz sleeve with the gland fitting of the chamber.
10. Carefully slide the quartz sleeve into the chamber,guiding it through the gland fitting:NOTE:Use care to
keep the quartz sleeve parallel to the chamber.Angling the quartz sleeve in any direction could result in the
breakage of the quartz sleeve.
11. As the quartz sleeve nears the far end of the chamber,support the quartz sleeve by inserting your finger
through the far end gland fitting and into the quartz sleeve.This will minimize the possibility of breaking the
quartz sleeve as it passes through the gland fitting.
12. Center the quartz sleeve in the chamber,making sure the quartz sleeve protrudes an equal distance past each
threaded gland fitting,of the chamber.
13. Re-install o-rings,Teflon washers,and static gland nuts.Be sure o-rings are placed on quartz sleeve before
Teflon washer.Tighten static gland nuts firmly by hand only,DO NOT USE HAND TOOLS.Tightening with
hand tools is likely to cause quartz sleeve to break.
14. Re-assemble ballast housing to purifier chamber,using hardware removed in Step 8.
NOTE:When re-assembling ballast housing to purifier chamber,electrical power cord should exit ballast
housing from the end mounted opposite the drain plug.
15. When all connections are complete,allow water to enter the water purifier at a low flow rate until the purifier
is pressurized.With the purifier pressurized,it should be checked for leaks.
16. See"LAMP INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT"section to properly re-install the lamp into the
water purifier.

OPTIONAL GUARDIAN ULTRAVIOLET MONITOR SENSOR PROBE CLEANING
If after cleaning the quartz sleeve,there is no significant improvement in the ultraviolet intensity,as shown on the
intensity meter,it may be necessary to clean the Ultraviolet Monitor's sensor probe.The sensor probe body mounts in a
3/4"NPT fitting,on the disinfection chamber,and protrudes into the chamber.
1.-__Disconnect power to the water purifier.
2. Shut off water supply to the water purifier via the inlet and outlet shut off valves.Drain the chamber by
removing the drain plug:Once the chamber is drained,remove any old sealing tape from the threads of the
drain plug,rewrap with'`/2"wide Teflon®thread sealing tape,reinstall and tighten the drain plug.

•
3. Disconnect power to the Ultraviolet Monitor;Remove from chamber by loosening the two setscrews on the
aluminum collar and lifting it free from probe body.
4. Insert the rod provided through the 5/16"hole in the probe body,carefully loosen the probe body.Remove the
probe from the chamber.
NOTE:It is recommended,when servicing the sensor probe,to work in a clean, dry area.
5. Remove the lens retainer cap from the probe body.Take care not to damage the lens,o-ring or the threads of
the probe body. -
6. Once the lens is removed,clean with alcohol or a mild non-abrasive detergent,and rinse with clean water.
Stubborn stains usually can be removed with a dilute hydrochloric acid.NOTE:Follow all manufacturer's
instructions and precautions when handling chemicals.Once the lens has been cleaned,handle the lens by the
edge,to avoid getting fingerprints on the lens faces.
7. Clean the probe body by removing any old thread sealing tape from the%"male NPT threads of the probe
body.Once the threads have been cleaned,re.tape the threads,of the probe body,using/2"thread sealing tape.
Several layers of tape may be required,helping protect from leaks and from damaging the threads as the probe
is reinstalled. '
8. Reassemble,replacing the o-ring and lens and securing in place with the lens-retaining cap.NOTE: Do not
over tighten,over tightening may cause damage to the lens.
9. Reinstall sensor probe into the 3/4"fitting of the chamber and tighten.Considerable torque will be required to
affect a watertight seal.
10. Slowly restore water supply to the water purifier,pressurize,and check for leaks.Once it is determined that
there are no leaks,inlet valve can be fully opened.
11. Reposition Ultraviolet Monitor on probe body and tighten setscrews.
12. Restore power to the water purifier and ultraviolet monitor.
If,after cleaning the sensor probe lens,there is still no significant improvement in the ultraviolet intensity,a s
shown on the intensity meter,proceed to the"Troubleshooting"section.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The purpose of the Technical Assistance visit was to assist ORC (Mr. Don Raish) in "Process Control"
reporting and having a means to determine the proper dosage of Sodium Bicarbonate and Lime to the
Septic Tank. Facility uses small doses of Sodium Bi-carbonate and Lime to control nitrification and ammonia
break down.
Prior to the T/A, ORC had an Ammonia violation (did not exceed 20 % over permit limitation). After review of
Septic Tank operation records and discussions regarding treatment system usage, it was determined the
violation was due to having the regular scheduled tank cleaning and increase system usage occur at the
same time.
Discussed with the ORC, using "Test Strips"for determining Ammonia concentration "IN THE
SYSTEM-SEPTIC TANK AND SAND FILTER", and to assist in dtermining the proper dosage of Sodium
Bicarbonate and Lime. ORC has put test strips into process control of the system and NOT for reporting.

SUBJECT: Wastewater Collection System
Owner & Operator Requirements
United World Mission
NC0032174
Rutherford County
Dear Mr. Raisch:
I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the requirements for sewerage collection
systems that were first established in 15 NCAC .02H .0200 in March 2000 and are now found in
15 NCAC 2T .0403, Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters, which became effective
September 1, 2006. These Regulations place significant operation, maintenance and reporting
requirements on those entities that own or operate a wastewater collection system with average
daily flows of less than 200,000 gallons per day.
These regulations are applicable to your facility. This letter is provided as guidance
to assist you in complying with the new reporting and operations and maintenance (O&M)
requirements and to advise you that you are subject to system review, inspections and possible
enforcement, if the system is not in compliance with the regulation.
For your convenience and easy reference, a highlight of these requirements and the
following guidance are offered (see enclosed). You may find the regulations using the following
web site: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/peres/Collection%20Systems/CollectionSystemsHome.html
The Asheville Regional Office will be increasing the level of oversight, compliance
activities and enforcement relating to collections systems, therefore, we wanted to be sure you
are aware of the requirements for these systems. We will be performing NPDES Wastewater
Collection System inspections sometime in the near future.

SUBJECT: Technical Assistance Inspection
Status: In Compliance
United World Mission, WWTP
• NPDES•Permit Number NC0032174 •
Rutherford County
Dear Mr. Raisch:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Technical Assistance Inspection form from the inspection conducted
on March 5, 2010. Don Price of the Asheville Regional Office conducted the Technical Assistance Inspection.
The facility was found to be in Compliance with permit NC0032174.
Your time and assistance in conducting the Technical Assistance inspection is appreciated. The
purpose of this Technical Assistance was to determine the cause for elevated Ammonia results that appear to
occur during the Nov-Jan. and June—Aug. time periods. Facility data was analyzed and a "Trend" chart
developed (copy of same enclosed). Results indicate Ammonia exceedances are occurring around the same
time as the semi-annual Septic Tank pumping events. On site samples of sand filter effluent prior to UV
disinfection were indicating a downward trend of the Ammonia concentration based upon alkalinity supplement
with lime. Also, the septic.tank and pump tank contents were measured with a "sludge judge" at the time of the ,
Technical Assistance indicating the tank should not be pumped. A good rule of thumb is to pump tanks when
the sludge accumulation equals about a third (1/3) of the tank's depth. For example, a 5 foot deep tank should
be pumped when sludge accumulation equals 18 inches to 2 feet.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. If you or your
staff have any questions, please call me at [phone].
Sincerely,

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
This Technical Assistance was conducted at the request of Facility Manager, Mr. Don Raisch to determine
the possible cause and corrective action to take for high Ammonia readings on effluent samples taken the
previous month (February 2010). A review of facility data submitted on monthly DMR's was analyzed and a
"Trend" chart developed. The Trend indicated the Ammonia exceedances occur during.the Nov.-Jan. and
June-Aug. time periods. Discussions with facility staff indicate this is the same period of Septic Tank
pumping. It is suggested facility staff continue alkalinity supplement with lime be continued at location and
dosage recommended verbally, in addition to the sodium bi-carbonate.Also,,it is suggested that Septic
Tank pumping be based upon sludge accumulation in the tanks rather than on a "semi-annual" basis.
Sand Filter discharge prior to UV disinfection was tested on site with "check" strips for Ammonia. Results of
that analysis indicated a downward trend to Ammonia levels. Tanks should not be pumped until sludge
accumulation is equal to 1/3 of the tanks depth. For example, a 5 foot deep tank should be pumped when
sludge accumulation is equal to or between 18 inches and 2 feet. Also, alkalinity supplement should be
conducted on a "continuous" basis, even when there is no student attendance at the school. Don's time and
assistance in conducting the Technical Assistance is appreciated. Should there be questions or you need
additional assistance, please contact me at [phone].

Comment: Facility staff utilize Parameter"strips" for ammonia and alkalinity to check
for system status.

Is septic tank pumped on a schedule? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
Are pumps or syphons operating properly? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑

Comment: Facility staff currently pump tank on a 2/year basis. Sludge depth
measurements are not taken. Discussions were held on site with ORC, Don Raisch, on
"how" and "when" to measure and check sludge depth in tanks. Tanks should not be
pumped until sludge depth is 1/3 of the tank's depth. By doing this it will save facility on
pumping cost and after review of ammonia data should cease the cause of the elevated
ammonia readings.

Gentlemen:
The purpose of this letter is to let you know what we have done,and what we are doing to correct our
ammonia level.Though we have not exceeded our daily limit,we did go over our monthly average in
February.
The first action we took after the lab notified us that our monthly grab was 2.2 over the limit was to
request that they take another sample on the 18th hoping that by increasing our amounts of hydrated lime
and sodium bicarb in the system the ammonia levels would come down and average out for the month.
When our ammonia levels went up instead of down we made contact with Roger Edwards,Donald Price
and Wanda Frazier,for their advice.They recommended that we increase the amounts of hydrated lime,
• and sodium bicarb that we were adding and also pre-mix the lime adding it to the system through a drip
method. V
Don Price took the time to review our reports over several years and found that we consistently had
problems in our system after our semi-annual pumping of the septic tank.His recommendation is that we
start monitoring our tanks with a Sludge Judge,and pump them on an as needed bases.He felt this would
be less disruptive to the normal activity in the tanks and the system overall.We have begun doing this.
We have a Sludge Judge,and will monitor and log our findings and results.
Don Price also found that our ammonia levels were coming back within our permit levels by using the
ammonia test strip on his last visit.
Sincerely, .
Donald E.Raisch

The United World Mission WWTP is a Class I STSF facility, rated at 0.020 MGD, with a 6000 gallon septic
tank with effluent filter; 100 gallon filter tank; 3000 gallon pump tank with filter& pumps; low-pressure,
surface-sand filter, with 4 alternating dosing cells; 1000 gallon holding tank with dual 20 gpm pumps with
alarms; UV disinfection with an emergency overflow diverter to the tablet chlorinator and tablet dechlorinator.
The WWTP discharges to an unnamed tributary to Cherry Creek in the Broad River Basin (sub-basin:
03-08-02), which has a stream classification of WS-IV(Water Supply).
The septic tank is pumped twice a year(in January and July) and was pumped last week.
New sand was recently added to the filter to level out the surface.
There was no discharge at the time of the inspection.
The facility appears to be properly operated and well maintained by Mr. Donald Raisch, ORC,who assisted
in the inspection.
The System Performance Annual Report, for the calendar year 2009, is currently being prepared.by Mr.
Raisch. (Note: Due March 1st, 2010)

Case Number: LV-2010-0182 Region: Asheville C i . : Rutherford
Assessed Entity: United World Mission WWTP Permit: NC0032174
(Feb.2010 O MR)
❑ (a) Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied to
the detriment of the petitioner:
® (b) Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violation:
The operator stated: "The first action we took after the lab notified us that our monthly grab was 2.2 over the limit was to
request that they take another sample on the I 8th hoping that by increasing our amounts of hydrated lime and sodium bicarb
in the system the ammonia levels would come down and average out for the month."
"When our ammonia levels went up instead of down we made contact with Roger Edwards and Don Price for their
advice. They recommended that we increase the amounts of hydrated lime,and sodium bicarb that we were adding and
also pre-mix the lime adding it to the system through a drip method."
"Don Price took the time to review our reports over several years and found that we consistently had problems in our
system after our semi-annual pumping of the septic tank." It was suggested to use a sludge judge and pump the tank as
needed. Ammonia tests strips are also being used."
The operator did indeed request technical assistance from Don Price and has put it to practice.
The ammonia levels have gone down and they are now in compliance.
n (c) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident:
❑ (d) Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations:
® (e) Whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions:
The operator stated that"we need the funds in order to continue purchasing the needed chemicals
to keep the alkalinity in our system in balance."
It is true the facility needs the funds to help purchase chemicals to keep the system in balance.
The ARO recommends remission of$250.00. ($317.00 less$67.00 enforcement costs.)

County: Rutherford
Case Number: LV-2010-0182
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c),in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b),which are:
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,to the public health,or to
private property resulting from the violation;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
One Monthly Average Ammonia exceeded permit limits by 115 %.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
No money has been saved. Money has been spent on hydrated lime and sodium
bicarbonate to lower the ammonia levels.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It is neither.
7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
There have been no penalty assessments in the previous twelve months.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$67.00.

Dear Mr. Raisch:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of$317.00
($250.00 civil penalty+ $67.00 enforcement costs) against United World Mission.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report(DMR) submitted by United World Mission for the month of February 2010.
This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0032174. The violations which occurred in
February 2010 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that United World Mission violated the
terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NC0032174 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the
manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S.
143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Roger C. Edwards, Division of Water Quality
Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;

(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be

•
•

considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission,you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that

Dear Mr. Schultz:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft very
carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. Your permit is
among several in the Broad River Basin that the Division has targeted for expedited renewal.
With regard to your request for relief of the ammonia nitrogen limits based on a lower flow,
because the limits are based on your discharge to a zero flow stream, limits would remain unchanged for
ammonia nitrogen.
Please note the following modifications to this draft:
• Added parameter codes to Section A.(1.) Effluent Limitations and Monitoring and updated
footnotes.
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty(30) days following your receipt of the draft.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in mid-September 2013, with an
effective date of October 1,2013.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, please contact me at (919)
807-6388 or [e-mail].

CIVIL PENALTY REMISSION FACTORS
Case Number: LV-2013-0123 Region: Asheville County: Rutherford
Assessed Entity: United World Mission WWTP Permit: NC0032174
n (a) Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied to the
detriment of the petitioner:
•
❑ (b) Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation:
DMRs submitted since February 2013 indicate compliance with permit limits.
® (c) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident:
The permittee notes that upon becoming aware of elevated results for ammonia from its monthly sample,
WWTP staff began modifying chemical feed and took an additional sample in an attempt to attain compliance
with the monthly average limit. After receiving even higher results from that sampling event, contact was made •
with the Asheville Regional Office. Technical assistance was received and implemented.Ammonia values have
been compliant since that time.
The actions taken by the permittee to address the situation were responsible and effective. The Division could
not have asked for a better response and outcome to the noncompliance event.
❑ (d) Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations:
The facility was assessed on one occasion during the five years preceding this assessment for NPDES limit
violations.
(e) Whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions:
The facility requests that funds be allowed to remain in its hands so it will be able to continue to purchase
chemicals that regulate alkalinity in the system.

IN THE MATTER OF ASSESSMENT )
OF CIVIL PENALTIES AGAINST: ) REQUEST FOR ORAL PRESENTATION
)
United World Mission )
United World Mission WWTP )
I hereby request to make an oral presentation before the Environmental Management Commission's Committee On Civil Penalty
Remissions in the matter of the case noted above. In making this request,I assert that I understand all of the following statements:
• This request will be reviewed by the Chairman of the Environmental Management Commission and may be either granted or
denied.
• Making a presentation will require the presence of myself and/or my representative during a Committee meeting held in Raleigh,
North Carolina.
• My presentation will be limited to discussion of issues and information submitted in my original remission request,and because
no factual issues are in dispute,my presentation will be limited to five(5)minutes in length.
•
The North Carolina State Bar's Authorized Practice of Law Committee has ruled that the appearance in a representative capacity at
quasi-judicial hearings or proceedings is limited to lawyers who are active members of the bar. Proceedings before the Committee on
Remissions are quasi-judicial.You should consider how you intend to present your case to the Committee in light of the State Bar's
opinion and whether anyone will be speaking in a representative capacity for you or a business or governmental entity. If you or your
representative would like to speak before the Committee,you must complete and return this form within thirty(30)days of receipt of
this letter.
Depending on your status as an individual, corporation,partnership or municipality,the State Bar's Opinion affects how you may
proceed with your oral presentation. See www.ncbar.com/ethics,Authorized Practice Advisory Opinion 2006-1 and 2007 Formal
Ethics Opinion 3.
• If you are an individual or business owner and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the Committee,
then you do not need legal representation before the Committee;however,if you intend on having another individual speak
on your behalf regarding the factual situations,such as an expert, engineer or consultant,then you must also be present at the
meeting in order to avoid violating the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of law.
• If you are a corporation,partnership or municipality and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the
Committee,then your representative must consider the recent State Bar's Opinion and could be considered practicing law
without a license if he or she is not a licensed attorney. Presentation of facts by non-lawyers is permissible.
If you choose to request an oral presentation,please make sure that signatures on the previously submitted Remission Request form
and this Oral Presentation Request form are: 1)for individuals and business owners,your own signature and 2)for corporations,
partnerships and municipalities,signed by individuals who would not violate the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of
law.
Also,be advised that the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions may choose not to proceed with hearing your case if the Committee
is informed that a potential violation of the statute concerning the authorized practice of law has occurred.

Dear Mr. Schultz:
•
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject
permit. Accordingly,we are forwarding the attached final NPDES discharge permit. This permit is
issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency dated October 15,2007 (or as subsequently amended).
In regard to your request for relief from the ammonia limit we reiterate that because the
limits are based on your discharge to a zero flow stream, limits would remain unchanged for
ammonia nitrogen at a lower flow rate.
Please also note that proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal-of al-"discharge

Subject: NPDES Permit renewal,NC0032174, United World Mission, Rutherford County.
Dear Sirs; .
Please see attached to this cover letter,our application for subject'Renewal'of our permit. Upon review of
our application we are submitting a 'table'showing our annual average for parameters of BOD,TSS, NH3-N, and
Flow.The table covers years 2009, 2010, 2011, and'2012 up through August of that year.
•
Year : BOD(mg/L) TSS(mg/L) NH3-N (mg/L) Flow(MGD) •
2009 2.08. 3.98 1.25 .004
• 2010 1.66 3.79 1.61 .004
2011 , 2,15 2.79 1.18 .004
2012 0:61 •1.30 ... 0.31 .004 ,
•
, As the table indicates we have consistently been averaging 21%of our flow limit of 20,000 gals./day(.020MGD)
and are consistent with BOD and TSS. Our variation occurs with 'Ammonia-Nitrogen' (NH3-N), which causes us
concern with meeting summer and winter limits consistently.We utilize a 'Septic Tank-Surface Sand Filter process
with UV disinfection prior to discharge. This process serves us well with the limited number of residents/students
we have and serve on occasion: In reviewing our needs for the next permit cycle,we do not anticipate utilizing the
entire 20,000 gals./day flow, and would respectfully request a flow limit tier of 10,000 gals./day and the original 20,000
gals./day. Hopefully this would allow the permitting unit to implement some limits relief of Ammonia-Nitrogen. •
We would expect to be under the 10,000 gals./day, until such time aswe reached 80%of that flow-limit(.008 MGD)
on an•'annual average'.At that time we would expect to be moved to the 2nd tier of 20,000 gals./day and subsequent
limits for that flow.Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at(828)287

This is a request for remission of the$409.26 penalty assessed against United World Mission Inc.
Our permit number is NC 0032174,and case number LV 2015-0101.We feel factor(b)and (e)apply
to our case.
Factor(b) applies to our case based upon parameters(NH3-N)seasonal variance.The sample
results following the February monitoring event reveal:
March 2015 (0.6)April 2015 (0.3) May 2015(0.4)and June 2015(>0.1)
In order to get these results, United World Mission has added needed alkalinity through the adding of additional
lime and sodium bicarbonate.
Factor(e)applies to our case,as we need the funds in order to continue purchasing the needed chemicals
to keep the alkalinity in our system in balance.

supporting documents,as to why the factor applies(attach additional pages as needed). •
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to
/ the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed in the civil penalty assessment document);
1✓ (b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation (i.e., explain the
steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences);
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e., explain why the violation was unavoidable or
something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
•� (e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions (i.e., explain
how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities necessary to achieve
- compliance).

Hi Don---Attached is the latest information from our website.
I got your fax with the info---it was dated effective 9/1/83 from the NC DEM re: Filter Sand Analysis Program. It
corresponds with the"Single-Pass
Gravity Sand filter" info on one of the attachments I'm sending.
I'm not sure what the info from "Norman Sand Company" means when they reference "C-33 standards from the point of
shipment."
They also are not on the list of companies for the sand. You might want to question them about whether their sand
meets the State specs.
This link below also takes you to the sand filter media information: just click on the links under"Miscellaneous Forms."

Hi Janet, .
Don Wanted me to send you the following letter concerning our Compliance for your review:
We were out of compliance on our Ammonia Nitrogen by.2 mg/I. As soon as we learned from our lab that we were over
our limit,
We made a call to the Asheville NCDENR and talked to Janet Cantwell. We determined that the best way to bring our
ammonia nitrogen
readings down would be to increase the amount of Sodium Bicarbonate added daily into the system, and increase the
hydrated lime
added weekly.The suspected cause of the increase was an increase in our student numbers during the month of
October 2018.
Please let me know your thoughts.
In Him,
Loretta.SneCgrove

You may decide to have the Environmental Management Commission's (EMC) Committee on
Civil Penalty Remissions make the final decision on your remission request.
If payment is not received within 30 calendar days from your receipt of this letter, your request for
remission with supporting documents and the recommendation of the North Carolina Division of Water
Resources will be delivered to the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions for final agency decision.
If you or your representative would like to speak before the Committee, you must complete and return
the attached Request for Oral Presentation Form within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of this letter.
Send the completed form to:
Bob Sledge
NC DENR-DWR — Wastewater Branch

The EMC Chairman will review the supporting documents and your request for an oral presentation (if

decision based on the original assessment amount. Therefore, the EMC may choose to uphold the

DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY
CIVIL PENALTY REMISSION FACTORS
Case Number: LV-2015-0101 Region: Asheville County: Rutherford
Assessed Entity: United World Mission WWTP Permit: N00032174
❑ (a) Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied to the
detriment of the petitioner:
® (b) Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation:
The facility's DMR notes that upon receiving the laboratory results indicating higher than normal ammonia
concentration in the effluent, the facility made contact with two members of the Asheville Regional Office staff
to inform them of the situation and to solicit advice. Operational changes. were made based on ARO
recommendations. The facility's results have showed compliance with permit limits since that time.
The facility's response to the noncompliance was proper, efficient, and effective. Compliance was reachieved in
a short period of time. The facility is encouraged to consider monitoring for this parameter earlier in the month
(as it has in the past) so it would have time to collect additional samples that may help it demonstrate
compliance with the monthly average limit.
❑ (c) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident:
The permittee's remission request notes the seasonal variability associated with ammonia removal in wastewater
treatment.
It is recognized the area experienced very cold temperatures just prior to the date of the noncompliant sampling
event, which may have reduced the biological activity and treatment efficiency in the WWTP..
❑ (d) Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations:
The facility was assessed on one occasion during the five years preceding this assessment for NPDES limit
violations.
® (e) Whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions:
The facility requests that funds be allowed to remain in its hands so it will be able to continue to purchase
chemicals that regulate alkalinity in the system.

IN THE MATTER OF ASSESSMENT
OF CIVIL PENALTIES AGAINST:
UNITED WORLD MISSION

NAGEMENT �
COMMISSION
DWR Case Number LV-2015-0101
REQUEST FOR ORAL PRESENTATION
I hereby request to make an oral presentation before the Environmental Management Commission's Committee On Civil Penalty
Remissions in the matter of the case noted above. In making this request, I assert that I understand all of the following statements:
This request will be reviewed by the Chairman of the Environmental Management Commission and may be either granted or
denied.
• Making a presentation will require the presence of myself and/or my representative during a Committee meeting held in Raleigh,
North Carolina.
0 My presentation will be limited to discussion of issues and information submitted in my original remission request, and because
no factual issues are in dispute, my presentation will be limited to five (5) minutes in length.
The North Carolina State Bar's Authorized Practice of Law Committee has ruled that the appearance in a representative capacity at
quasi-judicial hearings or proceedings is limited to lawyers who are active members of the bar. Proceedings before the Committee on -
Remissions are quasi-judicial. You should consider how you intend to present your case to the Committee in light of the State Bar's
opinion and whether anyone will be speaking in a representative capacity for you or a business or governmental entity. If you or your-----..
representative would like to speak before the Committee, you must complete and return this form within thirty (30) days of receipt of
this letter.
Depending on your status as an individual, corporation, partnership or municipality, the State Bar's Opinion affects how you may
proceed with your oral presentation. See www.ncbar.com/ethics, Authorized Practice Advisory Opinion 2006-1 and 2007 Formal
Ethics Opinion 3.
If you are an individual or business owner and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the Committee,
then you do not need legal representation before the Committee; however, if you intend on having another individual speak
on your behalf regarding the factual situations, such as an expert, engineer or consultant, then you must also be present at the
meeting in order to avoid violating the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of law.
If you are a corporation partnership or municipality and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the
Committee, then your representative must consider the recent State Bar's Opinion and could be considered practicing law
without a license if he or she is not a licensed attorney. Presentation of facts by non -lawyers is permissible.
If you choose to request an oral presentation, please make sure that signatures on the previously submitted Remission Request form
and this Oral Presentation Request form are: 1) for individuals and business owners, your own signature and 2) for corporations,
partnerships and municipalities, signed by individuals who would not violate the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of
law.
Also, be advised that the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions may choose not to proceed with hearing your case if the Committee
is informed that a potential violation of the statute concerning the authorized practice of law has occurred.
This the day of 920

request:
Please be aware that a request, for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained
in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses, the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation
and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why
you -believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed
below. In determining whether'a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors inNCGS 143B-282. 1 (b) was wrongfully -
applied. to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of,his decision
in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for
payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee
on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered . by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you
prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.

Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing., and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30)'days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for

Gentlemen: ' .. .
The. purpose of this letter is to'iet you know what we have done, and what we. are doing to correct our
.. ammonia level: Though we have not exceeded our daily limit, we did go bver;,our monthly average in
February..
The•first action we took.after the lab notified us:that our.monthly grab was 1.0 over the.limit was to `
request that they take another sample on th'e'28.th'hoping that by increasing our amounts of'hydrated lime
and -sodium bicarb in.the system the ammonia ievels,wouId come down and.ave.rage•o.ut for the month.
When our ammonia.10\ els went up instead'of•down we made contact with two people at the Asheville office,.
for their advice: It was recommended by Don Price that we increase the amounts.of hydrated lime, . ' .
and sodium bicarb that we were adding andralso'.pre-mix the lime adding it:to the.system through.a drip
method,
Don Price 'took the time to'review our reports over several years arid found that we consistently had
problems in•our system after our semi -annual -pumping of the septic tank. His'recommendation is that we:.
start monitoring,our tanks with a Sludge Judge, and pump them on an as needed bases. He felt this would
be less disruptive to th6-normal activity, in..the tanks and the system overall. We have -begun doing this,.
We have'a Sludge Judge, and will monitor and log our finding's and results.
I'n Addition to.the above. information; this was submitted in an attachment.to our February 2013 self -
monitoring repoft,:we want to let you knoW*that our problem with ammonia nitrogen levels has been corrected.: .
From March 2013 to the present date, our ammonia riitrogeri.test reports'have been,back within our permit
No. N00032174 Parameters. We are continuing.to implement the recommended actions heeded to correct an..d
stabilize o.ur.ammonia nitrogen level.

Dear Mr. Schultz:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $387.00
($250.00 civil penalty + $137.00 enforcement costs) against United World Mission.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by United World Mission for the month of February 2013.
This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0032174. The violations which occurred in
February 2013 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that United World Mission violated the
terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO032174 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the
manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S.
143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Chuck Cranford, Division of Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against

Violator: United World Mission / NCO032174
County: Rutherford
Case Number: LV-2013-0123
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in G.S.143B-282.1(b), which are:
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public. health; or to
private property resulting from the violation;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
One Monthly Average Ammonia Nitrogen exceeded the permit limit by 175 %.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of excess solids removal.
The amount of money saved would also include the cost of additional monitoring
and chemicals.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
7) The ,prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and "
There have been no civil penalty assessments in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$137.00.

282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;

(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:

(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:

Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of

JUSTIFICATION FOR REMISSION REQUEST
DWQ Case Number: LV-2013-0123 County: Rutherford
Assessed Party: United World Mission
Permit No: NC0032174 Amount Assessed: $387.00
Please use this form when requesting remission of this civil penalty. You must also complete the
"Request For Remission, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"
form to request remission of this civil penalty. You should attach any documents that you believe
support your request and are necessary for the Director to consider in evaluating your request for
remission. Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors
listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or
the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document.
Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(c), remission of a civil penalty may be granted only when one or
more of the following five factors applies. Please check each factor that you believe applies to your
case and provide a detailed explanation, including copies of supporting documents, as to why the
factor applies (attach additional pages as needed).
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282. 1 (b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed in the civil
penalty assessment document);
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation (i.e., explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences);
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e., explain why the violation
was unavoidable or something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions (i.e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities
necessary to achieve compliance).
