The subject facility is located at the intersection of Old Greenlee Road (SR 1214) and US
Highway70 in Marion, North Carolina. W&R proposes to discharge treated groundwater from a
remediation system to Mackey Creek via an existing 12-inch diameter PVC discharge line that
runs along the eastern side of US Highway 70. Mackey Creek has a Class C stream
classification. Based on a discussion with Mr. J. K. Bumette with the North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT), W&R will apply for an encroachment permit from
NCDOT to discharge the effluent water through the existing discharge line within the NCDOT

it is received by W&R.
Figure 1 is a portion of the USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle maps of Marion West and Old Fort,
North Carolina that locate the. site relative to the receiving stream. Figure 2 is a map of the site
showing the approximate locations of the extraction wells, remediation system building, and the
pathway to the receiving stream. The proposed discharge volume is 2,160 gallons per day (gpd).
Narrative Description of System Operation
Upon review of a report titled Corrective Action Plan, November 13, 2003, the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) approved the recommended
dual -phase extraction (DPE) system to remediate the product and petroleum -contaminated soil
and groundwater at the site. A DPE system uses a high vacuum pump and "stinger" pipes to
create a vacuum in the subsurface. The "stinger" pipes are placed inside an extraction well and
sealed to prevent loss of vacuum to the atmosphere. The extraction wells are screened across the
water table so that the saturated and unsaturated (vadose) zones are exposed to the vacuum. The
"stinger" pipes are set approximately 12 inches below the top of the water table to create a cone
of depression and recover groundwater from the saturated zone. The vacuum at the "stinger"
pipe also draws vapors and moisture -laden air from the vadose zone. The recovered air and
water are returned to the surface and separated prior to treatment and disposal.
Based on the results of a mobile multi -phase extraction (MMPE) event at the site, the following
design parameters will be used for the DPE system:
• Radius of influence for each extraction well will be 40 feet.
• The DPE system will consist of 9 extraction wells.
• Each extraction well will include a 10-foot long section of 4-inch diameter schedule
40 PVC slotted screen and 4-inch diameter schedule 40 PVC riser pipe.
• Each extraction well will have an apparent yield of 10 gallons per hour.
• Cumulative discharge from the DPE system will be 1.5 gallons per minute (2,160
gpd).
• Vacuum at recovery pump will be 23" Hg.
• Discharge air flow rate from recovery pump will be approximately 50 standard cubic
feet per minute (scfm).
The water from the extraction wells will be pumped to a pretreatment system consisting of an
oil/water separator, a tray -style air stripper, bag filters, non -chemical iron treatment units, and
activated carbon vessels. A process and instrumentation diagram (PID) is presented in Figure 3.

Existing Groundwater Quality and Proposed Effluent Concentrations
Because gasoline is the source of the contamination, the monitoring wells at the site have only
been analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by EPA Methods 601 and 602. From the
most recent monitoring events (May and October 2003), only benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene,
total xylenes, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), and isopropyl ether (IPE) were reported at
concentrations above the laboratory reporting limit. These compounds and their maximum
detected concentrations are summarized in Table 1:

Total Xylenes
27,000 ppb
MTBE
15,000 ppb
IPE

TOTAL VOCs
135,000 ppb
A groundwater sample was collected from monitoring well PTW-1 and analyzed for total
organic carbon (TOC). The analysis reported a TOC concentration of 37,000 parts per billion
(ppb). Considering that the TOC concentration was less than the sum of the individual VOCs
from the Methods 601 and 602 analytical lists, all of the carbon compounds predicted to be in the
discharge water are assumed to be accounted in the table above. With this assumption, the
compounds and concentrations cited above were used as the design basis for selecting the major
components of the pretreatment system.
The proposed effluent concentrations were taken from the Division of Water Quality's Water
Quality Standards for Freshwater Classification, April 1, 2003 relative to a Class C stream. The
proposed effluent concentrations were then compared to the Division of Water Quality's EPA
and NC Criteria Table, October 6, 2003 and updated where appropriate. In the case of MTBE,
which does not have a freshwater quality standard, the groundwater quality standard (200 ppb)
was used as the proposed effluent concentration. In all cases, the proposed effluent
concentrations reflect the information from the Technical Bulletin for General Permit
NCG510000, Volume 1, September 14, 2001. From these sources, the following effluent
concentrations were used to design the major system components:

Remediation System Design
Because free product has been measured at the site, an oil/water separator will be the first
component of the treatment system. Based on an influent flow rate 1.5 gpm from the DPE
system, a Facet International Model MCS 11 oil/water separator was selected. The MCS 11 has a
tank capacity of 32.5 gallons and a 3-inch diameter outlet. The retention time in the separator
was calculated with the Coalescing Plate "Mpak" Design Evaluation, version 2.0 by Facet
International. From the model, the retention time for the water in the separator was calculated to
be 1.32 minutes. The oil separated from the influent water will be stored in a storage tank and
disposed off -site. The water discharged from the oil/water will flow by gravity to a holding tank
where it will be pumped via a centrifugal pump through an iron treatment unit to a low -profile
air stripper. The design flow rate from the centrifugal pump will be 10 gpm. The iron treatment
unit will be Freije Model SZ-21-SA, which has a maximum flow rate of 20 gpm.
Given the proposed effluent concentrations and assuming that the influent concentrations into the
air stripper were equal to the maximum concentrations of the individual contaminants of concern
in Table 1, the concentrations from the air stripper were calculated with the Shallowtray Modeler
(version 2.3) by North East Environmental Products, Inc. (NEEP). Based on the results of the
model, a Shallowtray model 2351 was selected for the remediation system. The concentrations
from the air stripper are summarized in Table 3:

The water treated in the air stripper will be pumped through a bag filter and carbon vessels in
series prior to discharge through the outfall. The design flow rate from the effluent pump will be
10 gpm. The bag filter vessel will be Filter Specialists, Inc. Model BFNP11 and the filter will be
Filter Specialists, Inc. Model PONG10, which will filter the suspended solids larger than 10
microns. The bag filter has a flow rate of 50 gpm.
Carbon saturation rates were calculated with Cameron Carbon's T.I.P. Model using a flow rate
of 10 gpm and the concentrations estimated in Table 3. Based on the data, the carbon will reach
saturation at a rate of 4.89 pounds per day. The amount of carbon for the remediation system is
calculated as:
C = Rate * SF * Days
where: C = Carbon required to reach breakthrough
Rate = Carbon saturation rate = 4.89 pounds per day
SF = Safety Factor = 2
Days = Days required for change out = 183 days
Based on these data, 1,790 pounds of carbon will reach breakthrough after 183 days. Therefore,
the carbon vessels will be Tetrasolv Filtration, Inc. Model HPAF-2000, which have 2,000
pounds of carbon each (Days = 204).
Prior to discharge, the effluent water will pass through a Sensus Model 5/8" SR-EBII
displacement meter. The meter has a normal operating flow range of 1 to 20 gpm.
The engineering calculations for the remediation system design are included in Attachment A.
Specific engineering data for the major system components are included in Attachment B. Final
plans for the treatment system are included in Attachment C.
Feasibility of Discharge Alternatives
The following paragraphs address the feasibility of implementing several non -discharge
alternatives for the site:
a) Subsurface Disposal
Where technically feasible, nitrification field, infiltration gallery, and/or injection wells offer a
viable option for disposing treated effluent. However, this option is not considered viable at this
site due to the lack of area available on site. Of the 1.22-acre available on -site, only 0.2 acres is
not developed with a building or asphalt lot. Based on the volume of water proposed to be
discharged from the remediation system, the undeveloped area is not sufficient for a subsurface
disposal system. Additionally, a septic system for the sanitary water from the convenience store
Formerly The Only Place August 4, 2004

Notice of Intent
NPDES Permit NCG510000
Page 6
is located in the undeveloped area. Based on a telephone conversation with Mr. Jason Lewis
from the McDowell County Health Department, the additional volume of water from the
remediation system would be too much for the existing septic system. Therefore, there is not
sufficient area on site for a subsurface disposal system.
Two adjacent properties could be purchased for subsurface disposal. Information on the adjacent
properties that could be used for subsurface disposal is summarized in Table 4:
Table 4
Land Tax Value of Adjacent Properties

Land Tax Value
771-42-7852
1.38
$30,000
774-42-7567
1.00
$15,000
The property adjacent to the eastern border of the site (Parcel ID# 774-42-7567) is developed
with rental storage units and is not suitable for a subsurface disposal system. The property
adjacent to the northern border of the site (Parcel ID# 771-42-7852) is currently undeveloped,
but the owner of the property has informed us of his intent to construct an office building and
parking lots on the property. Old Greenlee Road and US Highway 70 are adjacent to the south
and west of the site, respectively. Therefore, there is not sufficient area on the adjacent
properties for a subsurface disposal system.
b) Connection to a Regional Sewer Collection System
Municipal sewer service is not available to the site. W&R contacted Mr. Steve Basney with the
City of Marion Public Works Department about connection to closest municipal sewer line. Mr.
Basney stated the nearest municipal sewer line is more than 5 miles from the site.
c) Spray Irrigation
Spray irrigation is an efficient and environmentally sound method of wastewater disposal. It
prevents over application of effluent water while minimizing yield loss to vegetation due to
water shortage or drought stress. However, spray irrigation is not practical in this case because
of its limiting factors. Due to the high effluent load and low available acreage, this site would
become hydraulically overloaded. The effluent would eventually pond in low-lying areas and
runoff would become the primary mechanism for discharging treated water.. As with the
subsurface disposal option, additional land could be purchased for the purpose of spray
irrigation. However, the land adjacent to the site is or soon will be developed and is not
available.

Notice of Intent
NPDES Permit NCG510000

Cost of Discharge Alternatives
Because of insufficient land on the site, additional land would need to be purchased in order to
consider subsurface disposal or spray irrigation. The cost to purchase such additional land based
only on the current tax value of the available adjacent parcels would be at least approximately
$15,000.00. A cost to design and install a discharge line to the municipal sewer line was not
estimated because of the significant distance between the site and the nearest sewer line.
Because of the obvious high capital cost for the above -mentioned alternatives posed, these
alternatives are not considered viable options.
Please contact us at [phone] with questions regarding the application and supporting
information. A check for $80 is attached for payment of the fees associated with this request.

Groundwater Remcc iation
How Does Scale Form?
Scale is a hard mineral deposit that forms in piping, water heaters, showerheads, and other water
using equipment. Most often it is found in hard water locations where a process such as heating
and cooling occurs. As water flows over and permeates through rocks, it dissolves and brings into
solution limestone, chalk, and marble. The more of these hard minerals the water takes into
solution, the "harder" it becomes. A very common type of scale called calcium carbonate scale is
formed by this hard water.
The maximum concentration of calcium carbonate, or any other substance,
that will dissolve into a solution is called the saturation point. If water
contains a higher concentration of these ions than the saturation point, it is
considered supersaturated. In this supersaturated condition, these ions could
be thought of as "barely hanging in the water."
Factors such as increase in temperature, decrease in pressure, increase in
pH, or turbulence cause a decrease in the solubility and further
supersaturation. Without the FREIJE treatment, these calcium carbonate
ions precipitate or come out of solution in the form of an aragonite crystal
which can be seen in Lab Photo 1. These crystals have an electrostatic
attraction to foreign surfaces and will easily form calcium carbonate scale
deposits on piping, water heaters, showerheads, and other water using
equipment.

How Do the. Series E and Series S Keep Scale from Forming?
The FREIJE Series E sends an induced oscillating electric field through the pipe wall into the water.
This produces molecular agitation in the water in accordance with Faraday's law. (See Figure A).

The Series S utilizes water that flows past permanent magnetic fields to provide necessary
molecular agitation. (See Figure B).

MJE Treatment Systems
Page 2 of
Figure B
In both cases, this molecular agitation causes the unstable mineral ions
barely hanging in the water to come out of solution and combine with other
mineral ions. A snowball affect is initiated resulting in the physical growth of
these ions and the removal of their electrostatic charge..Because these
larger inns do not have charges at their surface any longer, they float with
the water and do not stick to piping, heaters, or other surfaces. As shown in
Lab Photo 2, FREIJE treated minerals look disc -shaped rather than tree
branch shaped as in Photo 1. These treated calcium carbonate crystals are
called calcite crystals and are round and fluffy and much less likely to adhere
to foreign surfaces.

After Being treated
by a FREIJE
Series S System.
How do the Series E and Series S Remove Existing Scale?
The snowball affect caused by the FREIJE treatment actually causes the water to become stable
and undersaturated. This frees up water molecules to dissolve existing scale.
About 80% of water exists as water molecule clusters and are held together by hydrogen bonds.
The molecular agitation from the FREIJE System breaks many of these hydrogen bonds and
causes a great number of the water molecule clusters to become individual water molecules. (See

The Extended Life filter bag (POEX and
A PEEX) provides outstanding
performance on many types of
' YC contaminants (such as gels, particles
= with wide ranges of sizes, and with
various irregular shapes). The coarse
pre -filtering layer is designed to
W - „ provide long service life, capturing a
4� large amount of contaminants without
excess surface loading. The POEX has
been field -proven to hold at least twice the amount of
contaminants than a standard felt bag, reducing waste volume
and bag changes.
I
I

SR-EBII0 WATER METERS
PD-450
1of2
(Invensys
Metering Systems
DISPLACEMENT TYPE MAGNETIC DRIVE COLD WATER METERS
5/8" (DN 15mm), 3/4" (DN 20mm) and 1" (DN 25mm) Sizes
APPLICATIONS: Measurement of cold water where flow is only in
one direction; in residential, commercial and industrial services. i
CONFORMANCE TO STANDARDS: Invensys SR-EBII Water
Meters meet the requirements of NSF Standard 61 and comply
with ANSI/AWWA Standard C700-latest revision. Each meter is
tested to insure compliance with AWWA standards.
CONSTRUCTION: Invensys SR-EBII Water Meters consist of three
basic components: maincase; measuring chamber; and per-
manently, hermetically -sealed register. Maincases are made of
EnviroBraSS'" II C89520 alloy with externally -threaded spuds. Mea-
suring chambers are of Rocksyn , a corrosion -resistant thermoplas-
tic material.
Maincase bottom plates are available in EnviroBrass II or, if frost
protection is desired, in cast iron or synthetic polymer. Simplicity of
design and precise machining of components allows interchange-
ability of parts among like -size meters to provide ease of mainte-
nance. The register, measuring chamber and strainer can be
removed without removing the maincase from the installation.
SEALED REGISTER: Permanently, hermetically sealed; proven
magnetic drive design; with integral tamper -proof locking device.
Guaranteed for 25 years. The standard register includes a straight -
reading, odometer -type totalization display; a 360° test circle with
center sweep hand; and a low flow (leak) detector. Gears are self-
lubricating, molded plastic for long life and minimum friction. The
hermetic sealing of the register eliminates dirt and moisture, tam-
pering, and lens fogging problems.
No change gears are required for accuracy calibration. Encoded -
type remote reading systems are available for all SR-EBII Water
Meters. (See back of sheet for additional information.)
TAMPERPROOF FEATURES: Removing the register to obtain free
water is prevented by a locking system inside the meter. Removing
the register requires a special tool that is available only to water util-
ities.
MAGNETIC DRIVE: The unique design of the direct magnetic drive
is a positive, reliable, dependable drive coupling, proven in millions
of SR Water Meters.
OPERATION: Water flows through the meter's strainer and into the
measuring chamber where it operates the piston. The piston, which
moves freely, oscillates around a central hub, guided by the rub-
ber -coated division plate.
A drive magnet, incorporated in the piston, rotates around the out-
side of the hermetically sealed register well and magnetically
drives the 'follower" magnet sealed within the well. The "follower"
magnet drives a crank connected to the register gear train, which
translates the number of piston oscillations into volume totalization
units displayed on the register face.
MAINTENANCE: Invensys SR-EBII Water Meters are engineered to
provide long-term value and virtually maintenance -free operation
because of their design simplicity and interchangeability of mod-
ules.
CONNECTIONS: Tailpieces/Unions for installing the meters on a
variety of pipe types and sizes are available as an option.

ily move from one system to another without changing registers for each.
The TouchRead° Automated Meter Reading and Billing System —is a multi-
purpose encoder remote system suitable for indoor and/or outdoor use. The
ECR Register uses a wired connection between the meter and an outside
remote for inside set meters --or a pitlid mounted module, enabling under-
ground meters to be read automatically without opening the meter box or vault.
All wired connections and terminals of the TouchRead PitLid (TR/PL) modules
and registers are fully sealed at the factory using a special process to ensure
protection from water infiltration. The connection terminals of ECR/WP registers
are also factory sealed.
Meters equipped for TouchRead System reading can be read with a visual
reading device, stand alone AutoGun, and/or reading gun with an AutoRead
HandHeld Device. For more information on TouchRead System equipment
refer to bulletins AMR-TR, AMR-401, AMR-403, AMR-312 and EXSUMHH.
PhonRead' AMR —is a reliable telephone based call -in system that does not
require batteries for operation. It also does note require equipment to be
installed at telephone company facilities. PhonRead Meter Interface Units

(MIU) automatically call "in' to the utility office for transferring meter reading
data from the meter site to a PC. PhonRead is a transparent AMR system that
does not interfere with customers' telephone service. For more information
refer to bulletins AMR -PR and AMR-302.
RadioRead' AMR —uses superior Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum modula-
tion to provide reliable, safe and virtually interference free radio -based trans-
mission of reading data from underground or inside -set meters that are
equipped with Meter Transceiver Units (MXU). A choice of meter reading
options is available. A radio frequency hand-held device (RF-HHD) can be
used by a meter reader on foot. The RF-HHD can also be used to collect read-
ings from TouchRead equipped meters, or for manual meter reading entries. A
more powerful Vehicle Transceiver Unit (VXU) can be used in any car or truck
to read meters while on the move. (A dedicated meter reading vehicle is not
required.) For more information refer to bulletins AMR -RR, AMR-301 and AMR-
303, and AMR-401.
MultiRead` Port Expanders —can provide the capability to connect multiple
ECR equipped meters to a single PhonRead MIU or RadioRead MXU to save
the utility time and money for installations such as apartment complexes and
shopping centers. Refer to bulletin AMR-305, AMR-306 and AMR-308.

DEFINITIONS
Open Sand Filters (single pass):
Primary or secondary effluent is distributed once, over an exposed, open sand bed. Removable covers
are typically used. Wastewater may be applied by gravity flow through distribution lines, periodic surface
flooding or spray distribution. Treatment by entrapment, sorption and assimilation takes place as the
wastewater percolates through the sand bed. Collection is made by underdrain lines imbedded in gravel
which convey the filtrate to disinfection treatment and final discharge: Collection lines may be vented to
the top of the sand bed to allow for aeration.
Buried (subsurface) Sand Filters
Similar to open sand filters except the sand -filter is constructed below grade and covered with backfill.
Wastewater is applied by gravity flow through perforated distribution lines installed on top of the filter
bed. Distribution and collection lines may be vented to the surface to allow for aeration of the sand bed.

Recirculating Sand Filters
Recirculating filters are open filters which employ recirculation of filtrate. The filtrate is returned to a
recirculation tank and is mixed with septic tank effluent (typically at a 3:1 or 5:1 ratio, filtrate :septic tank
effluent) after which the mix is applied to the sand bed.- Sand beds are sized based upon the amount of
septic tank effluent. After each dose a portion of the filtrate is. diverted for further treatment and
disposal. Dosing applications require a pressurized distribution line.
Intermittent Sand Filters
These filters have wastewater applied to the sand beds intermittently. Filters are most efficient under
aerobic conditions and typically sand beds need to be rejuvenated. This requires an open cover type
arrangement which allows for access to the sand bed. Dosing applications require a pressurized
distribution line or surface flooding. The dosing is achieved through pumping or siphoning. -
Rapid Sand (gravity) Filters
Rapid sand filters employ a large hydraulic head (9 to12 foot difference between filter bed .liquid and
clear well) which drives the water through the filter quickly (hence the name). As filter pores clog
backwashing with filtrate is required to expand the sand bed and dislodge particles.
Slow Sand (gravity) Filters
Slow sand filters are similar to rapid sand filters except they employ a smaller hydraulic head (0.2 to 4.0
foot difference between filter bed liquid and clear well) which drives the water through the filter much
more slowly. As a result, loading rates are much lower than the rapid sand filters. The filter can be
cleaned by removing a few inches of sand.
