In these treatment systems,larger solids contained in the applied effluent are retained within the media by filtration,typically in the upper level of the filter media.A bacterial p fllmforms on the surface of media grains and providesfor removal of soluble organic material and small colloidal matter by absorption bythe bacteria intheflm.Decomposition of the absorbed material occurs during rest periods in the filter,when there is no application of ;y5j effluent.The organic material becomes an energy sourceforthe bacteria to maintain them- selves and produce new cells.Over time,as the filter matures,the film layer forms through- out the depth of the filter media and by-products of the biological process pass out ofthefl- ter.Re-circulation of the water leaving the filter back through the filter surface provides for additional treatment bythe bacteria in the media bed,as well as a mechanism for moving par- tially decomposed organic materials,bacterial waste products and other debris from the fil- ter.This keeps the pore spaces within the media from clogging.Treatment using recirculating media filtration systems is generally an aerobic process and re-aeration of the media,which N occurs during the resting(non-dosing)periods,is essential for proper treatment. 6i7 0 Table'1 Recommended System&Re-circulation Chamber C: Sizes for Residential Applications gy 2.0 Design W3001 NMany types of media are used in packed bed filters. 0 300 1 1 Washed,graded sand 400 750 400 1 1 was the most common, 1 500 900 500 1 1 Other granular media 600 900 600 1 1 p) used include crushed 700 1000 700 1 1 glass,garnet,anthracite, 800 1000 500 2 1 plastic,expanded clay, g00 1500 900 2 1 expanded shale,open-cell 1000 1500 1000 2 1 foam,extruded poly- 1100 1500 1100 2 1 styrene,and bottom ash 1200 2000 1200 2 1 1300 2000 1300 2 1 from coal-flied power ` 1100 2000 1400 2 1 Z plants. __.___.- Notes: 1.Tank shing are not exact and mayvary P or-10%)based on eveOebOry of locally Media characteristics proau,ea tanks. can limit the number of 2.For seasonal or intermittent use appllaations,please contact us for design guidance. doses possible.Media re-aeration must occur between doses.As the effective size of the media decreases,the 2.1 Re-circulation Tank Sizing time for drainage and re-aeration of the media increases.The BODS loading should For single-family home systems,the re- decrease with decreasing effective size circulation tank is typically sized to be equal of the sand. to 0.75 to 1 times the design peak daily flow.

According to your application the site Is to serve a the Existing 2 BR with a design wastewater flow of 240 gpd gallons per day. The evaluation was done in accordance with the laws and rules governing wastewater systems In North Carolina General Statute f30A-333 including related statutes and Title 15A, Subchapter 18A,of the North Carolina Administrative Cade, Rule.1900 and related rules. Based on the criteria set out in Title SSA, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Rules.1940 through .1948,the evaluation indicated that the site is UNSUITABLE for a ground absorption sewage system. Therefore,your request for an Improvement permit is DENIED. A copy of the site evaluation is enclosed. The site is unsuitable based on the following: ❑ Unsuitable soli topography and/or landscape position (Rule .1940) ® Unsuitable soil characteristics(structure or clay mineralogy)(Rule.1941) © Unsuitable soil wetness condition(Rule.1942) ® Unsuitable soil depth(Rule .1943) ❑ Presence of restrictive horizon(Rule.1944) ❑ Insumdent space for septic system and repair area(Rule .1945) ❑ Unsuitable for meeting required setbacks(Rule.1950) ❑ Other(Rule .1946)Specify- These severe soil or site limitations could cause premature system failure, leading to the discharge of untreated sewage on the ground surface, into surface waters,directly to ground water or inside your structure The site evaluation included consideration of possible site modifications,and modified, innovative or alternative systems. However,the Health Department has determined that none of the above options will overcome the severe conditions on this site. A possible option might be a system designed to dispose of sewage to another area of suitable loll or off-site to additional property. For the reasons set out above,the property is currently classified UNSUITABLE,and no improvement permit shall be issued for site in accordance with Rule.1948(c). However,the site classified as UNSUITABLE may be classified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE If written documentation is provided that meets the requirements of Rule.1948(d). A copy of this rule Is enclosed. You may hire a consultant to assist you if you wish to try to develop a plan under which your site could be reclassified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE. You have a right to a formal appeal of this decision.

A suitable classification generally indicates soil and site conditions favorable for the operation of a ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal system or have slight limitations that are readily overcome by proper design and installation. (b) Sites classified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE may be utilized for a ground absorption li sewage treatment and disposal system consistent-with these Rules but have moderate limitations. Sites classified Provisionally Suitable require some modifications and careful planning,design,and installation in order for a ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal system to function. F satisfactorily. (c) Sites classified UNSUITABLE have severe limitations for the installation and use of a properly fimctioning ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal system. An improvement permit shall not be issued for a site which is classified as UNSUITABLE. However,where a site is UNSUITABLE,it may be reclassified PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE if a special investigation indicates that a modified or alternative system can be installed in accordance with Rules .1956 or .1957 of this Section. (d) A site classified as UNSUITABLE may be used for a ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal system specifically identified in Rules .1955,.1956, .1957 of this Section or a system approved under Rule.1969 if written documentation,including engineering,hydrogeologic, geologic,or soil studies,indicates to the local health department that the proposed system can be i. expected to function satisfactorily. Such sites shall be reclassified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE if the local health department determines that the substantiating data indicate that: (1) a ground absorption system can be installed so that the effluent will be non- pathogenic,non-infections,non-toxic,and non-bazardous; (2) the effluent will not contaminate groundwater or surface water;and (3) the effluent will not be exposed on the ground surface or be discharged to. surface waters where it could come in contact with people,animals,or vectors. The State shall review the substantiating data if requested by the local health department.

The low-flow files do Indicate previous determination at nearby locations within the Wayah Creek basin,based an transfer of flow characteristics from nearby index sites. No USGS discharge records are likewise known to exist for the point of interest. In the absence of site-specific discharge records sufficient for a low-flow analysis,estimates of low-flow characteristics at unggged locations are determined by assessing a range in the law-flow yields(expressed as flow per square mile drainage area,of drum)at nearby sites where estimates have been determined. A basin delineation completed using the online USGS Shamothate application for North Garonne nut r//waur osss nov/nawhir smsmis/north emolina.hbnl)indicatea the drainage area for the point of lntemat(35.16113 1/-83.53583 NAD93)is 4.44 sgmi. For streams In western Macon County,low-flow characteristics published by the USGS are provided In the following reports: (1)The first is a statewide report completed in the early 1990's. It is USGS WaterSupply Paper 2403,"Low-flow characteristics of streams In North Carolina"(Giese and Mason,1993). An online version of the munt Is available at hood/Dubs usos advrwsp/24032pcnpdf. The report provides the low-flaw charactertstics(based on data through 198B)via regional relations and of-site values far continuous-record streamgages and partial-record sites with drainage basins between 1 and 400 sgmi and not considered or known to be affected by regulation and/or diversions. (2)The third is a statewide report published in March 2015. It is USGS Scientific Investigations Report 20155001,"Low-flaw characteristics and flow-duration statistics for selected USGS confinuous-recant streamgaging stations In North Carolina through 2012"(Weaver,2015). The report is available online at httu'/Inubs usos cov/sir/2015/SOi/.The report provides updated low-flow characteristics and flow-duratlon statistics for 266 active(as of 2012 water year)and discontinued streamgages across the state where a minimum of 10 climatic years discharge records were available for flow analyses. Inspection of the above reports indicates the presence of five(5)nearby selected USGS partial-record sites(2)and continuous-record streamgages(3)in general vicinity of the point of Interest where low-flow,characteristics were published. Among these 5 sites,the 7Q10 law-flow discharge yields are as fellows: Annual 7010 discharge==>from 0.43 flow to 0.83 clam(average about 0.59 efsm) Application of the above range in yields to the drainage area(4.44 scroll for the point of interest results in estimated 7010 flaw estimates from 1.9 to 37 cis(average about 2.6). Please understand the information provided in this message is based on a preliminary assessment and considered provisional, subject m revision pending further analyses. Hope this information is helpful. Thank you.

Incomplete Engineering Alternatives Analysis(EAA):The Division requires applicants to fully document and exhaust all alternatives to surface water discharge(G.S. § 143-215.1(b)(a)and 15A NCAC 2110105(c)(2)).Please evaluate the feasibility of the following alternatives: connection to a municipal or regional sewer collection system; rehabilitation of the land where the current system resides; land application,including onsite subsurface systems,drip irrigation and spray irrigation;water reuse,in which all or a portion of the waste water generated is reused; direct discharge to surface waters; or a combination of alternatives that would minimize or eliminate the direct discharge alternative.Economic feasibility should include analysis of capital costs,recurring costs,and lost opportunity costs. The message attached in the application from the engineering representative indicated that the Buck Creek area is not currently serviced by any public sewer system, an analysis prepared by a soil scientist stated that subsurface onsite systems(including aerobic drip irrigation)are not feasible,and the Macon County Public Health Department denied an improvement permit as the site was deemed unsuitable for a ground absorption sewage system. 2. Information for a 7Q10 was provided with the application. Please provide additional information for a 30Q2 to inform on low How conditions at the site. 3. The application states that the residence contains two bedmoms. Based on a review of property records by the Asheville Regional Office,the residence contains three bedrooms. Please confirm the number of bedrooms in the residence.
