Boone, Ron From: Russ Willard <rwillard8@triad.rr.com> Sent: Monday, December 07, 2015 9:27 AM To: Boone, Ron Cc: Lee Kimbrell Subject: Lissara WWTP Non -Compliance Attachments: Lissara Non -Compliance Memo Dec 7, 2015.odt Ron: Lee asked that I send this memo on to you for your file on the Lissara wastewater treatment plant. We had an exceedence of permit conditions on the fecal sample of Dec. 1, 2015. We are not sure what happened other than the fact that a new home has just been completed and we suspect that cleaning chemicals were disposed of into the system which affected the chemistry of the plant. Please give Lee a call with any questions. Thank you, Russ Willard Ramey, Inc. 336.655.7339 Ira 1 L & N Wastewater Management, Inc. 5646 Hampton Rd. Clemmons, NC 27012 336.399.9319 December 7, 2015 TO: Ron Boone — NCDENR Water Quality Regional Operations Section Division of Water Resources FROM: Lee Kimbrell RE: Lissara WWTP NPDES Permit # NC0088749 Dear Mr. Boone This is to advise you that a sampling event of December 1, 2015 indicated an exceedence of Coliform Fecal parameters ( 816/ 100ml) as set forth in the plant operating permit. Remedial actions have been implemented to correct the non-compliance problem. Please contact me with any questions or if you need additional information. Very truly yours, Lee Kimbrell L & N Wastewater Management, Inc. Water Resources ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY December 16, 2015 Lissara Partners LLC Attn: CJ Ramey, Owner P.O. Box 10 Bethania, NC 27010 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Permittee: Lissara Partners LLC Facility: Lissara Wastewater Treatment Plant NPDES Permit #: NCO088749 Forsyth County Dear Mr. Ramey: PAT MCCRORY Governor DONALD R. VAN DER VAART Secretary S. JAY ZIMMERMAN Director Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR or the Division) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) of the Lissara Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) on December 15, 2015. The assistance and cooperation of Lee Kimbrell, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), during the inspection, was greatly appreciated. The inspection findings are summarized below and an inspection report is also attached for your records. The plant is located at 9689 Wildflower Woods Way, in Lewisville, NC, at approximate coordinates 36.1162330N, 80.458243°W. The permit authorizes Lissara Partners LLC to operate this 0.108 MGD WWTP and discharge the treated effluent from the plant into Yadkin River, this section of which is currently classified as WS-IV waters and is located in the Yadkin Pee -Dee River basin. The plant was brought on line in April, 2015 and still only receives about 1,500 gallons of flow per day. The plant has experienced five limit violations since being brought on line, three Fecal Coliform violations and two Total Suspended Solids violations. The plant, which such low flow, is still struggling to completely treat the waste. SITE REVIEW The plant is clean and well maintained. There are several spots of corrosion all over the plant that should be repaired before they become larger problems. The owners should also establish a maintenance program to inspect the plant annually for the presence of corrosion and then to fix it. This is the only discrepancy noted by Mr. Boone during the inspection. DOCUMENTATION REVIEW Documentation that was available was reviewed and no issues, discrepancies, or violations were noted. However, not all required documentation was available for inspection. The owner and/or operator must ensure that a copy of the complete discharge permit and all discharge monitoring reports (DMR), laboratory records (field and non - field), and chains of custody are available during an inspection and kept on site at all times. No other issues were noted.

Laboratory results received on April 23, 2015 indicated that all effluent characteristics analyzed were within allowable permit limitations with the exception of Total Suspended Solids (TSS). This particular analysis indicated a value of 63.3 mg/L. The weekly maximum for TSS is 45 mg/L. It is my opinion that a failed sump pump contributed to the increase in the TSS level on the sampling date. Our first.sampling event on April 14, 2015 indicated a TSS level of 11.5 mg/L when the pump was in operating condition. The pump has since been repaired and I expect the TSS sample to be in coinpliance for the April 28, 2015 sampling event. Please contact me with any questions.

Box 10 Bethania, NC 27010 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Permittee: Lissara Partners LLC Facility: Lissara Wastewater Treatment Plant NPDES Permit #: NCO088749 Forsyth County Dear Mr. Ramey: Mr. Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR or the Division) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) of the Lissara Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) on April 13, 2015. This inspection was required as a prerequisite to bringing the plant online for the first time. The assistance and cooperation of Lee Kimbrell, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), during the inspection, was greatly appreciated. The inspection findings are summarized below and an inspection report is also attached for your records. The plant is located at 9689 Wildflower Woods Way, in Lewisville, NC, at approximate coordinates 36.116233°N, 80.458243°W. The permit authorizes Lissara Partners LLC to operate this 0.108 MGD WWTP and discharge the treated effluent from the plant into Yadkin River, this section of which is currently classified as WS-IV waters and is located in the Yadkin Pee -Dee River basin. The plant was not yet in operation during this inspection but Lissara Partners LLC have decided that they want to bring it on line. There are approximately 15 homes now on the system but they feed through filtered septic tanks before being pumped to the treatment plant. The concern is that the regular daily flow at this point will not provide enough organic material to establish a viable bacterial population capable of fully treating the waste load. Mr. Boone and Mr. Kimbrell discussed several operational strategies and adjustments that may help make the plant successful. Mr. Boone reminded Mr. Kimbrell that exceedences of any of the plants effluent limits may result in violation notices and ultimately, civil penalties being prepared. Lissara Partners LLC are well aware of the risks of starting up the plant at this time. Also, as discussed during the inspection, there is typically a three month delay between the completion of a Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) and it being received in our office. Therefore, if violations are experiences within the first three months of operation it would be prudent to consult with us on whether or not to continue trying to run the plant under the current waste load. You can contact us at any time. The plant appears to be in excellent condition and includes all the required components and necessary safety, security, and redundancy equipment. Documentation required by the permit was discussed and Mr. Kimbrell was in the process of getting a letter from Lissara Partners LLC enabling him to legally sign the reverse side of the DMRs.

The wastewater treatment plant for the Lissara subdivision is properly permitted by the NC Division of.Water Resources (Division) under permit number NC0088749: Lissara Partners, LLC owns and operates the system and was issued permit NCO088749 on July 31, 2013. To our knowledge there have been no issues with the wastewater treatment plant. However, this system is not currently in operation because the limited number of homes currently in the subdivision does not provide sufficient organic material to sustain the plant, which is a biological process that feeds on the organic material entering the plant. Therefore, Lissara'Partners, LLC has been issued a pump and haul permit until the plant comes on line. The pump and haul permit allows Lissara to pump the wastewater from the septic tank at each individual home and then haul it to a nearby wastewater treatment facility.

Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA),,as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The.period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or Version 1110912011 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also "Composite Sample," above.) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DWQ or "the Division" The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Effluent Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source whether treated or untreated. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Version 1110912011 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge during that sampling period. Monthly Average concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant.measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1.

[40 CFR 403.3 (i) and 0) and 15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(11)] Interference Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(14)] Pass Through A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)] Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization. This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T .0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)] "Significant Industrial User" or "SIU" An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(33)1: I. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary, noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or 2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS and ammonia; or 3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or 4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options; 5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a Significant Industrial User (SIU); or 6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a non -significant categorical Industrial User. Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) Version 1110912011 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 15 of 18 All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]: 1. Any new introduction of pollutants into the POTW from an indirect discharger, regardless of the means of transport, which would be subject to section 301 or 306 of CWA if it were directly discharging those pollutants; and 2. Any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants being introduced by an indirect discharger as influent to that POTW at the time of issuance of the permit. 3. For purposes of this paragraph, adequate notice shall include information on (1) the quality and quantity of effluent introduced into the POTW, and (2) any anticipated impact that may result from the change of the quantity or quality of effluent to be discharged from the POTW. Section C. Municipal Control of Pollutants from Industrial Users. 1. Effluent limitations are listed in Part I of this permit. Other pollutants attributable to inputs from Industrial Users discharging to the POTW may be present in the Permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be revised to specify effluent limitations for any or all of such other pollutants in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality standards. 2. Prohibited Discharges a. The Permittee shall develop and enforce their Pretreatment Program to implement the prohibition against the introduction of pollutants or discharges into the waste treatment system or waste collection system which cause or contribute to Pass Through or Interference as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .0900 and 40 CFR 403.

The renewal notice was sent to the former address of one of our members and delivered to our office on February 15, 2013 after having it forwarded to his new address. First off I would ask that you change the contact and address as follows: Mr. C.J. Ramey, Member, Lissara Partners, LLC, P.0 Box 10, Bethania, North -Carolina 27010. Secondly, I would hope you will forgive our tardiness in submitting this renewal because of the office movement by Mr. Brant Godfrey, our previous contact member. Thirdly you will see that we haven't as yet put the WWTP into operation as the slowness of the residential buildout has not made this necessary to this point. It will happen in 2013 but we'are not sure exactly when that will come about. 'Pending that, we have a pump -and -haul permit from DENR here in Forsyth County that is still active. Obviously we will be discharging wastewater after July 31, 2013 and must renew. 10. - Bethania, NC 27010-0010 - 336-922-4000 - Fax 336-922-1762 AM�� Should you need additional information please feel free to contact me for same.

Sullins Governor Director December 5, 2011 Lissara Partners LLC Attn: Brant Godfrey, Owner 2631 Reynolda. Road Winston Salem, NC 27106 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Permittee: Lissara Partners LLC Facility: Lissara Wastewater Treatment Plant NPDES Permit ##: NCO088749 Forsyth County Dear Mr. Godfrey: Dee Freeman Secretary Mr. Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ or the Division) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) .of the Lissara Wastewater Treatment Plant .(WWTP) on December 5, 2011. This inspection consists of only a simple file review because the plant is not actually in operation yet. According to a phone conversation with you, Mr. Boone found that the WWTP itself is built but not enough tributary homes are built to provide a sufficient amount of waste to allow the plant to run efficiently. Therefore, Lissara has been issued a pump and haul permit (WQO035608) from the Division, which allows you to pump :and haul that waste .which is currently produced for. disposal at the City of Winston Salem's Archie Elledge WWTP. This pump and haul permit expires on May 1, 2012. Please not that if any contact information for this permit or plant changes, you should contact the Division as soon as possible to ensure all records stay up to date. Also, you are reminded that you must .designate an Operator in Responsible Charge (QRC) and backup ORC for the plant before any waste can be introduced into the new plant. You must also notify this office at least 72 'hours in. advance of the WWTP discharging to surface waters of the State. . Finally, please bear in mind that in accordance with 'NC General . Statute 143-215.6A, the Director of the Division of Water Quality may assess civil penalties not to exceed $25,000 per day, per violation, :for'violations of the NCO088749 NPDES permit. -If you have any questions regarding the permit or .this letter, please call Mr. Boone or me -at (336) 771-5000.

These few homes do not produce enough sanitary waste for the plant to operate efficiently. Therefore, Lissara has been issued a pump and haul permit which expires on May 1, 2012. This permit allows them to pump and haul that waste which is currently produced to the Winston Salem Archie Elledge WWTP for final disposal. Page # 2 RESIDUALS MANAGEMENT PLAN LISSARA WASTEWATER TREATMENT The planned Lissara Wastewater Treatment Plant is to be an extended aeration style activated sludge wastewater treatment plant. The developers of Lissara subdivision plan to turn the facility over to a utility that is regulated by the NC Utilities Commission, after the treatment plant is constructed. The utility company will then enter into a contract with a sludge disposal company (or simply modify their existing contract), and the sludge company will then proceed with either permitting disposal sites or selecting a POTW that will accept the sludge from the Lissara WWTP. This Residuals Management Plan for the plant will provide, in as much detail as is possible at this time: • A narrative describing the size and operation of the sludge processing train in the proposed wastewater treatment plants • An explanation of how the Lissara WWTP will achieve Class B treatment of the sludge • The estimated quantity of biosolids that will be produced by the initial and ultimate facilities when they are operating at design capacity, and the associated storage volume provided Narrative: The initial treatment plant will have a design flow capacity of 54,000 gallons per day, and a sludge storage volume of 16,200 gallons. The sludge storage volume is approximately 30% of the rated flow of the treatment plants. Each sludge holding tank has a decanting device to allow the operator to withdraw supernatant from the thickened sludge, before more sludge is added and the thickening process is repeated. The supernatant is returned to the flow equalization basin. Sludge Conditioning for Class B Standards: The facility will comply with the 40 CFR Part 503 regulations. The selected operating utility will be able to condition the sludge to Class B standards in the sludge holding tanks by raising and maintaining the sludge pH at 12.0 or higher for at least 2 hours, and subsequently maintaining the pH at more than 11.5 for 22 hours. The pH conditioning would be scheduled and done immediately prior to the sludge being pumped and removed by the contract sludge disposal company. The pH adjustment will most likely be accomplished by use of liquid lime, although the operating utility may elect to utilize other products to raise the pH as required. The diffused aeration system in each tank will be used to mix tank contents. Lissara WWTP Residuals Management Plan Page 1 Biosolids Quantity and Storage: A minimum of 30 days of sludge storage at design flow is required. The estimated quantity of sludge that will be produced at the total rated flow of the initial treatment plant (0.054 MGD of wastewater flow) is as follows: (0.054 mgd)(160 mg/I BOD in influent from STEP systems)(8.34 lbs./gal.) = 72 lbs. BOD/day in influent Using a sludge yield of 0065 lbs./lb. BOD consumed yields: (72 lbs. BOD/day)(0.65 lbs. sludge/lb. BOD) = 47 lbs. waste sludge per day Assume sludge holding -thickening tanks can achieve a solids concentration of at least 2.00%. The volume of the daily waste sludge, thickened to 2.00% is: (47 lbs./day)/(.02)/(8.34.Ibs./gal) = 282 gallons per day Thirty days storage of this volume would require: (282 gpd)(30 days) = 8,460 gal. The volume of sludge storage provided is 16,200 gallons, which will theoretically provide 57 days of storage. It is anticipated by the design engineer that the thickened sludge concentration will average closer to 3% solids, which would provide approximately 86 days of storage at design flow. Land Application: The land application permitting for the sludge (if a POTW is not used for disposal) will be accomplished by the contract sludge disposal company that is selected by the operating utility. A confirmation that the treatment plant has been turned over to an operating utility will be furnished to DWQ prior to the plant going into operation. The operating utility will then confirm to DWQ when a sludge disposal contract is in place; and that the company has the disposal capacity -required to serve the Lissara WWTP. Lissara WWTP Residuals Management. Plan Page 2 LISSARA WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT Sludge Management Plan February, 2013 Once the plant is operational, it will be monitored every day by L & N Wastewater Management Company in Clemmons, North Carolina. When the sludge has built up to the point where it can no longer be further degraded and needs removal, the sludge will be transported to Granville Farms, Inc. (see attached letter) for their appropriate disposal. Lissara Partners, LLC ' By: C.J.

THIS RAISES SOME CONCERN AS THE PLANT WILL BEGIN REACHING PERMITTED FLOW AS THE SUBDIVISION APPROACHES COMPLETION AND THE OWNER WILL NEED TO IMMEDIATELY BEGIN THE PROCESS TO CONSIDER PLANT EXPANSION IN ACCORDANCE WITH 15A NCAC 02H .0223, DEMONSTRATION OF FUTURE WASTEWATER TREATMENT CAPACITIES. 2. Type of treatment: Extended aeration activated sludge wastewater treatment with flow equalization; two autonomous treatment trains with sludge holding tanks, aeration basins, and clarifiers; tablet chlorination and dechlorination; and, sodium hydroxide chemical feed pH control system. 3. Prevalent toxic impacts to surface waters: The only known possible toxic impacts would be Chlorine added to the waste stream for disinfection, but this is already addressed with dechlorination and the low level Chlorine limit in the permit. PART III .OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION Special monitoring/effluent limit requests: None 2. Compliance information: The most recent CEI for this facility did not note any effluent deficiencies or operational problems. However, it should be noted that the plant is not currently in operation because only a small number of houses have been built in the subdivision and are producing wastewater — not enough for the plant to operate efficiently. The facility is currently issued a pump and haul permit (WQ0036194), which expires May 1, 2013. PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS There have been no changes to the permit or the WWTP since the permit was last renewed. Pump and haul is still required until enough homes are built in the subdivision to produce enough wastewater to provide a viable bacterial population in the plant for effective treatment of the waste. It is recommended that.the NCO088749 permit be renewed as requested ort Preparer / / Date A"'j�LA NCDENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Pat McCrory Charles Wakild, P.E.

This inspection consists of only a simple file review because the plant is not actually in operation yet. According to a phone conversation with you, Mr. Boone found that the WWTP itself is built but not enough tributary homes are built to provide a sufficient amount of waste to allow the plant to run efficiently. Therefore, Lissara has been issued a pump and haul permit (WQ0035608) from the Division, which allows you to pump and haul that waste which is currently produced for disposal at the City of Winston Salem's Archie Elledge WWTP. This pump and haul permit expires on May 1, 2012. Please not that if any contact information for this permit or plant changes, you should contact the Division as soon as possible to ensure all records stay up to date. Also, you are reminded that you must designate an Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and backup ORC for the plant before any waste can be introduced into the new plant. You must also notify this office at least 72 hours in advance of the WWTP discharging to surface waters of the State. Finally, please bear in mind that in accordance with NC General Statute 143-215.6A, the Director of the Division of Water Quality may assess civil penalties not to exceed $25,000 per day, per violation, for violations of the NCO088749 NPDES permit.

Page # 2 Print This Article http://www2.joumalnow.com/content/20 I 0/jun/ 18/plans-have-dam-lake/ Print Article Plans have dam, lake By Fran Daniel I Journal Reporter Print This Story Four developers have broken ground on an ambitious -- and expensive -- subdivision in Forsyth County, defying a tough economy to get their project under way after six years of planning. The 254-acre development called Lissara is on Shallowford Road, just west of Lewisville. It will include a man-made lake surrounded by 102 lots and 100 acres for stately homes. The developer is Lissara Partners LLC, owned by Beau Dancy, Brant Godfrey, Pete Ramey and Lang Wilcox. Bob Timberlake, a painter and designer, is doing designs for a lodge, street signs and entrance. While the Forsyth County housing market fared better than a lot of markets across the country during the recession, sales dropped dramatically and just started showing improvement this year. "The market has had a cycle that we haven't seen in our lifetime," Godfrey said. "But the things that are weeded out in that environment first are the indistinguishable -- the day-to-day, plain vanilla." He said that the Lissara project is unique, primarily because of the man-made lake, and should entice some potential homeowners who have been sitting on the fence, waiting to buy. "Whenever it is built I think there is a market that will understand and appreciate it," Godfrey said. Don Jud, a professor emeritus in the Bryan School of Business and Economics at UNC Greensboro, said he hopes that the developers' evaluation of the local economy is correct. He described their plans as courageous. "That's ambitious because the upscale homes are the hardest ones to sell these days," Jud said. The Lissara project will have sister neighborhoods -- The Lake at Lissara and The Estates at Lissara. Of the 102 lots planned for The Lake at Lissara, 37 will be lakefront homes. The estates side has 100 acres that will be cut into 3- to 30-acre tracts, depending on what individuals and builders want. Lots on the lake side of Lissara will range from $70,000 to $285,000, while the estate lots are expected to range from $190,000 to about $1 million. Godfrey expects homes to cost between $350,000 and more than $1 million on the lake property and $800,000 to $2 million or more on the estates side. A Forsyth County Housing Report complied by Jud for the Triad MLS showed that 34 homes priced between $300,000 and $499,000 sold in the first quarter of 2010, down from 40 in the fourth quarter of 2009. In the $500,000 and above price range, '12 homes sold in the first quarter of 2010 compared with 16 in the fourth quarter of last year. Lissara is one of the biggest housing projects to be developed in Forsyth County in several years. "Lissara was approved back in 2008 and that's clearly the largest subdivision of its type that we've looked at in the last three or four years," said Glenn Simmons, a principal planner for the City -County Planning Department. For example, Grandview Place on the site of the former Grandview Golf Course in Pfafftown was approved for 213 lots on 131 acres in August 2007. The 800-acre Brookberry Farm in western Forsyth County, which has a mix of homes and is more comparable to Lissara, was approved in 2003. Also, Tuscany, a high -end subdivision also on Shallowford Road, west of Lewisville, was approved for 24 lots on 64 acres in 2002. The developers have taken their time creating Lissara. Wilcox, an individual developer, and Dancy, the president of Dancy Construction Co., started working on the project in late 2004. The next year, they approached Godfrey, a lawyer in Winston-Salem and the owner of West View Development, about 1 of 2 6/22/2010 1:40 PM Print This Article http://www2.joumalnow.com/content/20 10/jun/18/plans-have-dam-lake/ becoming part of the project. He agreed and asked Ramey, the owner of Ramey Inc., a utilities -contracting company, to join them. In addition to a 21-acre lake that will be 65 feet deep in some areas, the development will have a 70-foot high dam and a sewage -treatment plant. They are using various environmentally -friendly approaches to development, Godfrey said. The aim of the sewage -treatment plant, for example, is to help them preserve a majority of the mature trees on the lots. Lissara Partners has chosen Coldwell Banker Triad, Realtors to market the development and will start selling lots in July. Dancy said that they have not started any advertising but are already generating a lot of interest. "We've gotten calls and inquiries," he said. "I feel like there's going to be a big push when we finally come on line and officially sell lots in July." fdaniel@wsjoumal.com 727-7366 2 of 2 6/22/2010 1:40 PM Mickey, Mike From: Mickey, Mike Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 12:44 PM To: Eaton, Adrian Subject: RE: Lissara Subdivision FTSE Adrian - WSRO recommends approval of the proposed sewers.

Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary Thank you for the opportunity to review the information regarding the referenced dam. This information from Mr. Bert Meijboom was received in our office on August 18, 2008 by e-mail. Land Quality Section personnel from the Winston-Salem Regional Office conducted an inspection of the dam site and downstream areas on September 3, 2008 to confirm the proposed low hazard classification. Based on our review of the information provided and site inspection, our office concurs that a low hazard classification is presently warranted provided you can show that the single wide mobile home ownstream of the dam will not be affected by a breach of the . dam. - However, if future downstream development occurs which would be impacted by a failure of the dam, then the hazard classification would need to be re -assessed and could possibly change from low to high hazard classification. Also, the information provided indicates this dam has a height of 65 feet and an impoundment volume in excess of 10 acre-feet. Therefore, in accordance with NCGS 143-215.A(a) (6) this dam will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Dam Safety Law of 1967. Please note that approval from this Division will be required prior to the initiation of any work to construct this dam. There is an application to construct a dam checklist that provides a general guide -for submittals to this office for Dam Safety approval. This checklist is also available at http://www.dlr.enr.state.ne.us/dam.html. Please contact Mr. Matthew Gantt, PE, Regional Engineer at telephone number (336) 771-5000, or the Land Quality Central Office Dam Safety staff at (919) 733-4574 if we may be of further assistance in this matter. 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1612 512 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 919-733-45741 FAX: 919-733-28761 Internet: www.dlr.enr. state.nc.us/dlr.htm An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer - 50% Recycled 110% Post Consumer Paper Mr. Wilcox September 5, 2008 Page 2 Sincerely, W.

Regional Engineer, PWSS DEH,NCDENR 585 Waughtown Street Winston-Salem, NC 27107 Re: EAA and NPDES Permit Application Lissara Subdivision Forsyth County Dear Mr. Spencer: WILLIAM C. DIEHL, P.E. JOHN F. PHILLIPS, P.E. ALAN R. KEITH, P.E. Presented below are our responses to your comments and questions regarding the NDPES permit application (your questions in italics). Will an initial low wastewater -loading rate create operational problems? If so, how will this be handled? The plant would be constructed in two phases, each rated for 54,000 gallons per day. The initial 54,000 gpd plant would consist of two parallel process trains, to meet the DWQ's redundancy requirements. Each process train would therefore be rated for 27,000 gpd. The initial loading on one 27,000-gpd-process train will be relatively low, as the first houses are sold and occupied. Typically, when a plant is not supplied with a sufficient organic loading in the start-up phase, the operator can supplement the plant influent with various products. The possible choices range from adding bagged animal feed to the plant influent to adding carbon source chemicals such as methanol or the methanol substitute product MicroC (two gallons of methanol would provide a daily BOD5 loading that is equivalent to approximately 25% of the design organic loading for one 27,000 gpd process train). The developers of Lissara plan to turn the wastewater treatment plant over to a privately owned utility company, such as Aqua -NC, for operation of the plant. Aqua would maintain permit compliance for this plant's effluent during the subdivision start-up period, just as has been done on numerous other treatment systems serving new residential subdivisions. Mr. Lee Spencer, P.E. July 16, 2008 Page 2 of 3 What type of early warning system will be employed so that Davie County's Sparks. Road Water Treatment Plant will be notified when there is a WWTP upset? Will there be any kind of SCADA system for automatic warning of a WWTP upset? The plant will have a S CADA/auto dialer system that will notify the operator if any of the plant equipment ceases to operate properly. The list of inputs will be finalized in the design phase, but it would typically include a high water alarm for the flow equalization basin, notification of a loss of utility power, notification that the automatic transfer switch has moved to the standby position (signifying the standby power generator started, came up to proper voltage and frequency, and is providing power to the plant), a generator trouble alarm, and a loss of air pressure when a blower is operating (indicating a motor or belt failure). The SCADA system will telephone or page the operator regarding the condition/alarm, and will continue to call/page until the operator acknowledges the call/page. If the condition is not cleared within a specified time period, the system will again call the operator until the call is acknowledged. The system will also have an "Inform Only" list of phone numbers that it will call until the call is answered and the system can inform the answering person (or message recorder) of the conditions/alarm detected at the plant site. The calls made to the "Inform Only" list do not require an acknowledgement; this feature was created for the purpose of notifying interested third parties of the calls made to the operator without requiring the third parry to enter an acknowledgement code. The telephone for the Sparks Road WTP would be an Inform Only number programmed into the SCADA system. It should also be noted that Lissara subdivision is planning a Septic Tank Effluent Pump system for each lot, and a pressure sewer to convey the septic tank effluent to the treatment plant. The effluent from the collection system will be pumped into the plant's flow equalization basin. Although the flow is normally pumped by the flow equalization pumps into the plant, it is possible for the equalization basin contents to flow through the plant without being. pumped. The disinfection system is planned to be tablet chlorination and dechlorination. Therefore, even if the plant had a catastrophic multiple failure of power supplies, or failures of the primary and backup blowers or pumps, the wastewater that would reach the Yadkin River would still have received treatment by primary settling and disinfection, and would be relatively low in suspended solids. The SCADA system would notify the operator of any of these possible malfunctions that could create upset conditions, so that the operator could quickly respond and rectify the situation. What type of operational data will be collected to ensure that sludge is consistently wasted to the sludge holding tank, and then pumped from the WWTP and taken to a proper disposal facility? Prior to obtaining an Authorization to Construct, all NPDES permittees are required to submit to DWQ a Residuals Management Plan. This plan must demonstrate that the plant has sufficient sludge storage capacity, and indicate where the sludge will be finally disposed. The operator will make the determination when to waste sludge out of the process by checking the mixed liquor suspended solids concentration and the influent wastewater's organic strength, and then calculating the amount of sludge that should be Mr. Lee Spencer, P.E. July 16, 2008 Page 3 of 3 wasted daily or weekly. Whether the sludge is transported to a land application site or a publicly owned treatment plant, the party holding the sludge permit will require a written record of the date, solids concentration, and volume of sludge hauled from the plant. The operator will also maintain a log of all activities of the plant operation, and this log is typically inspected during DWQ's annual Compliance Inspection of the plant. Please contact me if you have any further questions or comments. Yours very truly, Diehl & Phillips, P.A. ORIGINAL SIGNED & MAILED 7/16/08 John F. Phillips, P.E.

Chatham Street Cary, NC 27511 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT LISSARA WASTEWATER TREATMENT Lissara is a planned subdivision west of the Town of Lewisville, in Forsyth County. The subdivision is planned for residential uses only, and the wastewater produced will be 100% domestic in nature.

The influent flow to the treatment plant is to be delivered via Septic Tank Effluent Pump (STEP) systems that will serve every connection to the wastewater system (STEP system will be permitted separately). The septic tanks and their effluent filters will protect the treatment plant from most debris and settleable solids, thus eliminating the need for an influent screening device. The FE basin will have duplex wastewater pumps that lift flow into a Flow Control/Splitter box. The Flow Control box maintains the forward flow into the plant within a certain range, with all excess pumped flow being returned into the FE basin. -T-he—forgu and l.,�w is.-ev my di�vjdedmbe teen he v r-ess--traT = 2-5--d nateh=weirsa(one4r�air �y be.,takeatoftiine-withwasstopgate), Th.eaplan Ira two -treatment ,-tra*s each-!:Wib:-o pa ity of 2?;OQO gpd The divided flow from the Flow Control box enters each train's aeration basin. Each aeration basin provides 17.78 hours hydraulic detention, based on the plant's rated design flow. The mixed liquor from the aeration basin then enters that process train's clarifier. The clarifiers are sized with a surface overflow rate of 188 gpd/sf at design flow. The clarifier overflow goes through tablet chlorinators and a chlorine contact chamber, followed by a tablet dechlorinator and additional contact time. The effluent from the plant will then flow through an effluent flow measurement weir, where the flow is measured and recorded. The effluent then flows in a pipeline to the discharge location in the Yadkin River. The plant has been located on the site to meet all applicable regulatory setbacks. The discharge of the effluent pipe into Yadkin River is located below the 100-year flood elevation; however, the treatment plant and all accessory equipment are located above the flood elevation of 728.0 (from FEMA maps). The plant is to be surrounded by a six- foot high chain link fence, for safety and security purposes. The return sludge from the clarifiers is pumped by airlift back to the influent end of the aeration basins. The sludge can periodically be diverted to the sludge holding tank for Lissara WWTP Project Description Page 1 storage and stabilization, if the plant has accumulated excess solids. Solids that are skimmed off the clarifier surface are also returned to either the aeration basin to the sludge holding tank. Sludge can be thickened in the sludge holding tank, and the supernatant periodically decanted using a swing arm decanter with airlift. The required blowers and controls for the treatment plant are to be located in a precast concrete blower building. The major electrical system components are also located in the building. The standby power generator is located on the exterior of the building, but is protected by a weatherproof enclosure. A double -walled storage tank and chemical feed pumps are provided to feed a 25% to 30% solution of sodium hydroxide into the plant influent. The chemical feed is proposed to maintain the treatment system pH in the desired range by replacing the alkalinity lost due to the nitrification process. The timing of the construction of a second phase plant will depend on the actual flows produced by the homes in Lissara subdivision.

SYSTEM FLOW EQUALIZATION BASIN P P SLUDGE HOLDING AERATION CLARIFIERS FUTURE PLANT 0 CONNECTION A F� p EFFLUENT FLOW MEASUREMENT PLANT TO YADKIN RIVER FLOW SCHEMATIC LISSARA WWTP RESIDUALS MANAGEMENT PLAN LISSARA WASTEWATER TREATMENT The planned Lissara Wastewater Treatment Plant is to be an extended aeration style activated sludge wastewater treatment plant. The developers of Lissara subdivision plan to turn the facility over to a utility that is regulated by the NC Utilities Commission, after the treatment plant is constructed. The utility company will then enter into a contract with a sludge disposal company (or simply modify their existing contract), and the sludge company will then proceed with either permitting disposal sites or selecting a POTW that will accept the sludge from the Lissara WWTP. This Residuals Management Plan for the plant will provide, in as much detail as is possible at this time: A narrative describing the size and operation of the sludge processing train in the proposed wastewater treatment plants • An explanation of how the Lissara WWTP will achieve Class B treatment of the sludge • The estimated quantity of biosolids that will be produced by the initial and ultimate facilities when they are operating at design capacity, and the associated storage volume provided Narrative: The initial treatment plant will have a design flow capacity of 54,000 gallons per day, and a sludge storage volume of 16,200 gallons. The sludge storage volume is approximately 30% of the rated flow of the treatment plants. Each sludge holding tank has a decanting device to allow the operator to withdraw supernatant from the thickened sludge, before more sludge is added and the thickening process is repeated. The supernatant is returned to the flow equalization basin. Sludge Conditioning for Class B Standards: The facility will comply with the 40 CFR Part 503 regulations. The selected operating utility will be able to condition the sludge to Class B standards in the sludge holding tanks by raising and maintaining the sludge pH at 12.0 or higher for at least 2 hours, and subsequently maintaining the pH at more than 11.5 for 22 hours. The pH conditioning would be scheduled and done immediately prior to the sludge being pumped and removed by the contract sludge disposal company. The pH adjustment will most likely be accomplished by use of liquid lime, although the operating utility may elect to utilize other products to raise the pH as required. The diffused aeration system in each tank will be used to mix tank contents. Lissara WWTP Residuals Management Plan Page 1 Biosolids Ouantity and Storage: A minimum of 30 days of sludge storage at design flow is required. The estimated quantity of sludge that will be produced at the total rated flow of the initial treatment plant (0.054 MGD of wastewater flow) is as follows: (0.054 mgd)(160 mg/I BOD in influent from STEP systems)(8.34 lbs./gal.) = 72 lbs. BOD/day in influent Using a sludge yield of 0.65 lbs./lb. BOD consumed yields: (72 lbs. BOD/day)(0.65 lbs. sludge/lb. BOD) = 47 lbs. waste sludge per day Assume sludge holding -thickening tanks can achieve a solids concentration of at least 2.00%. The volume of the daily waste sludge, thickened to 2.00% is: (47 lbs./day)/(.02)/(8.34 lbs./gal) = 282 gallons per day Thirty days storage of this volume would require: (282 gpd)(30 days) = 8,460 gal. The volume of sludge storage provided is 16,200 gallons, which will theoretically provide 57 days of storage. It is anticipated by the design engineer that the thickened sludge concentration will average closer to 3% solids, which would provide approximately 86 days of storage at design flow. (Land ApWioation: The land application permitting for the sludge (if a POTW is not used for disposal) will be accomplished by the contract sludge disposal company that is selected by the operating utility. A confirmation that the treatment plant has been turned over to an operating utility will be furnished to DWQ prior to the plant going into operation. The operating utility will then confirm to DWQ when a sludge disposal contract is in place, and that the company has the disposal capacity required to serve the Lissara WWTP. Lissara WWTP Residuals Management Plan Page 2 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 1 of 16 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS Section A. Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. B ass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters Version 1011012007 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 16 ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every X hours [X = days detention time] over a 24-hour period. Effluent samples shall be collected at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24- hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2) Daily_ Maximum The highest "daily discharge" for conventional and other non -toxicant parameters. NOTE: Permittees may not submit a "daily average" calculation [for determining compliance with permit limits] for toxicants. See the relevant Federal effluent guideline[s] for the appropriate calculation interval. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DM or "the Division" The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. Facility Closure The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. Version 1011012007 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 16 Instantaneous flow measurement A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. Monthly Average (concentration limitl The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration l tl The average of all samples taken over a calendar quartet. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Tonic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. U set An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration limitl The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1. Duty to Comply The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit.

Initial construction will be one dual -path extended aeration plant, rated for 54,000 gallons per day. The plant will receive Septic Tank Effluent Pump system discharge, which will have a lower organic strength than typical domestic wastewati Blower Sizing and Oxygen Requirements Influent wastewater is from STEP systems. BOD, TSS, and TKN design influent characteristics are as follows: BODs 160 m9/1 TSS 60 mg/I TKN 45 mg/I Plant wil have summertime limits of 30 mg/I of BOD5 and 2 mg/I of NH3-N. Plant aeration expansion is constructed. Plant aeration basin sizing will be controlled by nitrification requirements. The required SRT (solids retention time) can be estimated using the the US EPA model: SRT = (5.56)e[A 16 x (I5-T)]where T is the minimum water temperature, degrees C. for T = 50 degrees F (10 Degrees C), SRT min. = 9.93 days Applying a safety factor of 2.0 to account for fluctuations in flow and organic strength yields a design SRT of 20 days. The reactor size is selected based on: Va = SRT x Qa x Ci x Y / Xa, where Va = reactor volume (aeration basin), in MG SRT = solids retention time = 20 days 20 days Qa = wastewater flow = 54,000 gallons per day = 0.054 mgd Ci = BOD influent concentration = 160 mg/I 160 mg/I Xa = average mixed liquor solids concentration = 2810 mg/I Y = yield coefficient = .65 lb.

At minimum static head conditions (basin at high level), system TDH for "C" _ 120 is 4.8 feet, at 94 gpm. Use ABS Pump model AFP 841, 6.34 inch impeller. Pump is rated for 94 gpm at 10 feet TDH. Motor is 2.01 HP, 1125 RPM. FE Pump Calculations - Lissara WWTP Page 2 Flow Control Box Weir Calculations: Pumps will pump to weir box with side overflow weirs. Target equalized flow into plant is 38 gpm. Maximum pump output at minimum head is 195 gpm at 6.2 feet TDH. The side weirs should be sized to divert up to 157 gpm over the side weirs with an increase in head of no more than 0.07 feet. The weir equation to be used for a rectangular weir with end contractions is: Q = C(L-0.21-1)(H)"(3/2), where C = 3.3, L= length, in feet, and H= head, in feet, and Q is flow in CFS 157 gpm = 0.35 cfs If side weirs are installed with a total C = 3.33 length of 6 feet (3 feet per side), a H = 0.067 feet flow of 0.36 cfs can be returned L = 6.0 feet with a head rise of less than 0.07 Q = 0.35 feet. The forward flow will go through two 22.5 degree V-notch weirs to split the flow evenly between the two process trains in one plant.The weir elevations will be set so that the side weirs will begin to overflow when the V-notches have 0.33 feet of head on .them. The flow variation through the weirs will be as follows: 14 gpm to each process train when the side overflow weirs start flowing. As the level in the FE basin continues to rise, the maximum flow to each process train will increase to 22.5 gpm (20,160 to 32,400 gpd per train). The side weir elevations can be adjusted to have lesser forward flow rates during the initial years of operation, when flows are less design flows.
