Dear Permittee:
You are receiving this notice because you currently own a property covered under the subject
General Permit for the discharge of domestic wastewater. NCG550000 will expire on July 31, 2007.
Federal(40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina(15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require
that permit renewal applications be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit.
To satisfy this requirement, the Division must receive a renewal request postmarked no later than
February 1, 2007.
The Certificate of Coverage(CoC) specific to your property was last issued on August 1,2002.
The Division needs information from you to determine if coverage under NCG550000 is still
necessary.
➢ If your property still has a wastewater system like the ones described in the enclosed
Technical Bulletin, you must renew the subject CoC. Complete the enclosed form and
submit it to the address on the form.
➢ If you are not sure what type of system your property has, contact Keith Haynes in the
NC DENR Asheville Regional Office at. That person [or other staff members] can help
you determine if you should renew your CoC.
➢ If you know that your property no longer discharges wastewater, contact me at the
address or phone number listed below to request rescission of the CoC.
➢ This information reeuest does not pertain to the Annual Fee of$50.00 billed
separately by the Division's Budget Office. No money is required for this
procedure. The Annual Fee is like the fee you annually pay the DMV for the sticker on
your vehicle's license plate. Renewal of your CoC is like the renewal of your Driver's
License [ca. every five years].
➢ If you have already mailed a renewal request,you may disregard this notice.

1 Wastewater Alternatives Analysis
L
1 A. Connection to a Regional Sewer Collection Sys[em
The closet regional sewer collection system is the Town of Franklin which is approximately
�1 six miles from the proposed site. Due to the distance to the regional system, the number of
private sewer easements necessary to obtain, and the high degree of difficulty to construct this
rrsewer line in the mountains, this is not a feasible option.
Il
B. Subsurface Disposal Alternatives
I A letter from the Macon County Health Department addressing the available subsurface
Ir disposal alternatives is attached.
t , C. Surface Disposal Alternatives
The entire lot is 120 feet wide which automatically eliminates any spray irrigation alternatives
which requires a property line buffer of 150 feet. Property line buffers for a drip irrigation
system is only 50 feet leaving a 20 foot strip in the center of the property. A 50 foot buffer
from the front property line is also required along with and a 50 foot buffer from the river.
After these buffers have been removed, only 3,800 square feet of land in the center of the
property is available for a drip irrigation system. This area will also accommodate a portion
rr of the proposed building and parking lot. Even if the entire area was available for drip
L_J irrigation, the actual irrigation rate would be equal to 0.66 inches per week which is extremely
high in this region. In addition, the entire lot is located on six to ten feet of fill material,which
would further reduce the available loading rate. Therefore, due to the existing site constraints,
IL there are no viable surface disposal alternatives.

Dear Mr.Allen:
This correspondence is concerning the engineering proposal submitted for the subject project. The
Stormwater and General Pemdts Unit is responsible for evaluating the plans proposed in conjunction
with permitting under General Pemdt NCG550000. The staff has reviewed the submitted plans and
determined that additional information/revisions are necessary to complete the technical review process.
The required additional informationtrevisions are as follows:
1. Site plans -please revise to reflect:
* Distances from system components to dwelling foundation, property lines, wells
(property owner and adjacent), driveway location. Required minimum setbacks
(Reference NCDENR Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 2H .0219, May 1997)
are as follows:
Distance from Minimum
drinking wells 100 It
property lines 50 ft
any building foundatiou/basement 15 ft
It appears that the septic tank is within 50 feet of the property line, and that other system
components are within 15 feet of the proposed building. Please attempt to locate all
components within the appropriate setback limits. If these limits cannot be achieved,
please note the actual setbacks on the site plan. Also, please provide a discussion
regarding why the required setbacks cannot be met. The site plan should be revised to
show the locations of any water wells and the pipe cleanout locations (between building
and septic tank, and between chlorine contact chamber and discharge point).
2. System plans-please revise to reflect:
* Pipe slopes(from building to septic tank, and underdrain pipe)

3. Submitted plans are inconsistent with respect to the size of tanks in the system. The site plan and
system layout drawing indicates that a 3000 gallon dosing tank and a 2000 gallon septic tank are
proposed. However, the specific component drawings indicate that a 1000 gallon dosing tank
and a 1000 gallon septic tank will be used. Please revise plans to reflect the actual size of the
tanks that will be used.
6. Sand filter media proposed in submittal is outside the Division recommended ranges as follows:
* Recommended effective size 1.0-5.0 man
* Recommended Uniformity Coefficient<2.5
Please provide a discussion regarding the use of any media outside the recommended range.
7. The Division's acceptable doses per day for the sand filter range from 5 to 8. It appears that the
doses per day for the proposed system are 24. Please adjust the dosing rate.
8. Please provide a discussion regarding freeze protection for any pipe and system components
exposed to air.
9. Please provide a discussion regarding auxiliary power for the system in the event of a power
failure.
The requested information or a deadline extension request must be submitted within 30 days.
Please submit a written response to the aforementioned comments and three copies of revised
engineering drawings. Division stormwmer staff will strive to complete a final technical review within
10 working days of receipt of the requested information. You will be advised of any comments,
recommendations,questions or other information necessary for the review of the application. If you have
any questions or would like to discuss this project,please contact me at(919)733-5083,extension 584.
