The assistance and cooperation of Morgan Turner, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), was greatly appreciated. Inspection reports are attached for your records and inspection findings are summarized below. Mikkola Downs Wastewater Treatment Plant, NCO067091 General Information The Mikkola Downs Wastewater Treatment Plant is located near 2777 Stable Hill Trail in Kernersville, Forsyth County, North Carolina, at approximate coordinates 36.18212V West, 80.053833e North. Aqua NC is authorized to operate this 0.072 million -gallon -per -day (MGD) wastewater treatment plant, which consists of a -flow splitter box, bar screen, dual aeration tanks, dual blowers, dual clarifiers, sludge holding -tank, Sanuril tablet chlorinator, chlorine contact tank, dechlorination, post aeration tank, and an effluent flow recorder, and discharge treated effluent from outfall 001 of said treatment works, which is located approximately 150 feet southwest of the treatment works at approximate coordinates 36.182526° West, 80.0541430 North, to East Belews Creek, which is currently classified as Class. C waters and is located in the Roanoke River Basin. Site Review - Mr. Boone reviewed the entire plant with Mr. Turner. No discrepancies or violations were noted. The plant appears to be well operated and maintained. Documentation Review Mr. Turner had all required documentation for the inspection and everything was complete and current. This included discharge monitoring reports, chains of custody, laboratory records, calibration records, operator visitation records, and operation & maintenance logs. No discrepancies or violations were noted. Mr. Turner has done an excellent job of documenting his operation and maintenance of the plant. State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Water Resources 450 West Hanes Mill Road, Suite 300 1 Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27105 336 776 9800 Greystone Subdivision Wastewater Treatment Plant NCO078115 General Information The Greystone Subdivision Wastewater Treatment Plant is located off the north end of Pine Creek Road in Kernersville, Forsyth County, North Carolina, at approximate coordinates 36.1676620, 80.0864360. Aqua North Carolina, Inc is authorized to operate this 0.032 million -gallon -per -day (MGD) wastewater treatment plant, which consists of a bar screen, an influent pump station, an equalization basin, dual extended aeration basins and clarifiers, a sludge digester, tablet chlorination and dechlorination, and a flow meter, and discharge treated effluent from outfall 001 of said treatment works, which is located approximately 25 feet east of the treatment works at approximate coordinates 36.167670°, 80.086130°, to Belews Creek, which is currently classified as Class C waters and is located in the Roanoke River Basin. Site Review Mr. Boone reviewed the entire plant with Mr. Turner. No discrepancies or violations were noted. The plant appears to be well operated and maintained. Documentation Review Mr. Turner had all required documentation for the inspection and everything was complete and current. This included discharge monitoring reports, chains of custody, laboratory records, calibration records, operator visitation records, and operation & maintenance logs. No discrepancies or violations were noted. Mr. Turner has done an excellent job of documenting his operation and maintenance of the plant. Salem Quarters Wastewater Treatment Plant, NCO083933 General Information The WWTP is located inside the Salem Quarters subdivision in Winston Salem, Forsyth County, NC, at approximately coordinates 36.191667N, 80.109722W. The permit authorizes Aqua North Carolina Inc. to operate this 0.06 MGD WWTP, which consists of a bar screen, a flowsplitter box, an equalization basin, dual aeration basins, dual clarifiers, a sand filter, an ultraviolet disinfection system, backup chlorination, contact and dechlorination system, a sludge holding tank, and standby power, and discharge the treated effluent via outfall 001 into an unnamed tributary (UT) to Belews Creek, this section of which is currently classified as Class C waters in the Roanoke River basin. Site Review - Mr. Turner has done a good job operating and maintaining the plant. The only problem noted during the inspection was the presence of excessive sludge solids in the weir troughs on the effluent side of the clarifiers. It is unknown at this point what is causing the solids to accumulate in the troughs but Mr. Turner is preventing the solids from being discharged and plans to bring the effluent filters on line to filter out the solids. It is unknown when the filters will be brought on line. Mr. Boone noted no discrepancies. Documentation Review All documentation was reviewed. No discrepancixes were found. Mr. Turner has done an excellent job of documenting the operation and maintenance of the plant as required by the permit. This includes operations and visitation logs, discharge monitoring reports and laboratory and field laboratory records, chains of custody, etc. Mr. Boone noted no concerns during any of these inspections. If you have any questions regarding the inspections or this letter, please call him or me at (336) 776-9800. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Sincerely, 4- ,-v-. k�- Sherri V.

Facility: Greystone Subdivision Wastewater Treatment Plant NPDES Permit #: NCO078115 Forsyth County Dear Mr. Roberts: 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 subject facility on November 17, 2011. George Gatewood's assistance and cooperation during the inspection was greatly appreciated. An inspection checklist is attached for your records and inspection findings are summarized below. General Information The wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is located just east of and near the north end of Creek Bed Road, in the Greystone Subdivision, in Kernersville, Forsyth County, NC, at approximate coordinates 36.167663°,-80.0864060. The permit authorizes Aqua NC to operate this 0.032 MGD WWTP, which consists of an influent pump station, a bar screen, an equalization, basin, dual ;aeration basins and clarifiers, a sludge digester, tablet chlorination, tablet dechlorination,`and an effluent flow meter. Aqua NC is further authorized to discharge the treated effluent from this WWTP via outfall 001, which is located at approximate coordinates 36.167674°,-80.086066°, into Right Fork Belews Creek, which is currently classified as Class C waters in the Roanoke River Basin. Site Review The plant itself appears to be in very good condition and Mr. Gatewood is doing an excellent job of operating the plant. Everything is currently operational and the plant is meeting effluent limitations the majority of the time. It is noted that there was a problem with the telemetry for the influent pump station on the morning of the inspection due to service provider issues. Mr. Gatewood was confident that the issue would be resolved quickly and service would be restored. The pump station also has audible and visual alarms that were operational the morning of the inspection, however Aqua NC should consider replacing the existing audible alarm because it is not very loud and it's questionable whether anyone in the area would be able to hear it. It is also noted that the plant has no backup .power supply source. Mr. Boone noted no other deficiencies or violations.

Mr. Gatewood has done an excellent job producing and keeping the records needed on file. Discharge monitoring reports and field and non -field laboratory records for 2010 were compared and no discrepancies were found. Sludge management records were mostly complete, however Mr. Boone did have to ask Mr. Gatewood to provide copies of receipts from the sludge pumping contractor for the last couple of years. Mr. Gatewood has some of these records on file at the plant but not all of them. Aqua NC should keep copies of all sludge pumping contractor receipts or manifests at the plant for five years. Mr. Gatewood has outstanding operator visitation and operation and maintenance logs. Mr. Boone noted no other deficiencies or violations during his inspection. If you have any questions regarding the inspection or this letter, please call him or me at (336) 771-5000. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Sincerely, W.

George Gatewood, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) was present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: an in -office review of facility files and self -monitoring data and an on -site inspection of the facility. This particular inspection evaluated nine (9) areas, and observations from each area are addressed below: 1. Permit The current permit became effective November 1, 2007 and expires February 29, 2010. A copy of the permit was available during the inspection. 2. Self -Monitoring Program A review of the self -monitoring data submitted for the period April 2009 through March 2010 showed that all parameters were sampled and analyzed per the requirements of the permit. There were no violations of effluent limitations during this time period. 3. Laboratory Operators measure temperature, dissolved oxygen, total chlorine residual, and pH at the plant. Heater Utilities (owned by Aqua) holds field parameter certification # 5035. Calibration records for the operator's field meters are maintained with the facility records. Water Tech Labs of Granite Falls, NC handles all other sample analysis for the wastewater treatment facility. An ISCO 4700 sampler is used for composite sampling of BOD, Total Suspended Solids, and Ammonia. The thermometer in the sampler refrigeration unit read approximately 15 degrees C at the time of the inspection. Please note that proper temperature for sample storageJs _less _.lan_ or e. qualyto6.0 degreesJCelsius: 4. Flow Measurement Effluent flow is measured daily with an ISCO 4230 Bubbler Flow Meter. This is a new flow meter that was recently purchased and installed to replace the previous failing meter. Thurman Horne of Horizon Engineering installed and calibrated the meter on December 17, 2009. 5. Facility Site Review The plant consists of an influent pump station, bar screen, equalization basin, dual aeration basins and clarifiers, aerobic digester, and both chlorine contact and dechlorination units.

The facility does not have a generator on site, but one is available for use at the nearby Aqua warehouse in Kernersville. 6. Operations & Maintenance George Gatewood is the ORC for this facility. Back -Up operators are the Aqua North Carolina staff. Bar screenings are collected in a bucket and then removed for disposal. There was scum on the surface of the clarifier during the inspection, which the operator attributes to a clogged return sludge line that he fixed prior to the inspection. The ORC estimated that the sludge blanket in the clarifiers is approximately 6 feet (half of sidewall depth). The audible alarms on the lift station and the equalization basin were checked during the inspection. However, the, light bulb. for the visual alarm on the equalization basin appeared to be burned out and should be replaced: 7. Records/Reports The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), files, and lab data are maintained according to the permit. A process control notebook is maintained with facility files to keep track of pH, dissolved oxygen, settleable solids, and MLSS in the aeration basin. The dissolved oxygen and pH meters were calibrated and the thermometer verified by Water Tech Laboratories on February 8, 2010. Records of equipment calibrations were available during the inspection. The process control records also note the amounts of sludge wasted or hauled at the plant. A daily operators log sheet is kept in the shed and is used to record temperature, flow, and notes regarding light housekeeping duties at the plant. The ORC changes air filters and smaller jobs at the plant. There was a-copyof the 2007 Annual Report at the 'facility, but_ there_ was no annual report for 2008 or 2009 in the. facility _. files. 8. Effluent/Receiving Waters The effluent is discharged into Right Fork Belews Creek in the Roanoke River Basin. The effluent appeared clear with no traceable solids on the day of the inspection. The inspectors noted that the stream bank has suffered noticeable erosion beneath the outfall pipe. 9. Sludge Disposal Carolina Septic or Forsyth Rooter provides sludge disposal at the plant, based on contractor availability. Sludge is removed from the digester, lift station, equalization basin, and chlorine contact basin as needed. In May 2010, Forsyth Rooter removed 16,000 gallons from the digester and 3,200 gallons from the lift station and equalization basin. The sludge hauling events are identified in the -process: control notebook: = However receipts, or invoices from the: hauling company should be kept with the facility files. Other than the few highlighted issues in this letter, there were no major problems found during the inspection. Please refer to the attached report for specific details from the inspection.

Robert Barker (ORC), Tony Parker and Delbert Likins with Aqua NC were also present for the inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on -site inspection of the treatment facility and a file review. The .following are the findings from the subject inspection. T_ Permit The NPDES permit for the Greystone Subdivision WWTP became effective November 1, 2007 and expires on February 29, 2012.The facility is located north of Kernersville at Greystone Subdivision in Forsyth County. The permitted components of the 0.032 MGD wastewater treatment plant include: an influent pump station with duplex feed pumps, a 16,030 gal flow equalization tank with duplex feed pumps, a dual -train extended aeration package treatment plant with rough screening, flow equalization, influent flow splitter box, dual extended aeration basins, dual integral clarifiers, aerobic digestion, four centrifugal blower/motor units, an 11,000 gallon sludge treatment and holding tank, chlorine contact chamber and a dechlorination system. The facility is permitted to discharge into an unnamed tributary to Belews Creek, classified C waters in the Roanoke River Basin. II. Records/Reports Operations records include all sample analyses and process control tests that are performed daily. The ORC's daily logbook was evaluated and found to be satisfactory. DMR's were available for the period requested. A complete copy of the NPDES permit was on site. The daily operator and maintenance logs were on site. Flow meter calibration records and flow charts were available at the inspection. Flow meter calibration was last conducted on July 27, 2008. A spill response plan was available and emergency contact information was posted on the gate. The inspector called this number and the answering service did not know how to handle the call. The inspector was forwarded to an automated call center that has been problematic in the past. Please continue to review proper handling procedures. An annual report for the year 2007 was available at the inspection. Please remember to submit your annual report for 2008. Annual reports must be submitted within 60 days of the end of the applicable review period, either a calendar year or fiscal year. As this facility has previously submitted a calendar year report, your report will be due March 1. Robert Barker is the designated ORC for this facility. III. Facility Site Review The facility site review indicated that the 0.032 MGD treatment works is consistent with the permitted components. The actual treatment system consists of an influent pump station with duplex feed pumps, a 16,030 gal flow equalization tank with duplex feed pumps, a dual -train extended aeration package treatment plant with rough screening, flow equalization, influent flow North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Winston-Salem Regional Office Location: 585 Waughtown St. Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27107 Phone: 336-771-50001 FAX: 336-771-46301 Customer Service: 1-877-623-6748 Intemet: www.ncwaterquality.org No thCarolina An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer splitter box, dual extended aeration basins, dual integral clarifiers, aerobic digestion, four centrifugal blower/motor units, an 11,000 gallon sludge treatment and holding tank, chlorine contact chamber and dechlorination unit.

The effluent was clear and free of visible solids on the date of inspection. The receiving stream was free of solids, foam and debris. V. Flow Measurement Effluent flow is measured with an Isco 4210 flow meter, which was last calibrated by Horizon on July 27, 2008. VI. Self -Monitoring Program A review of the discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) for the time period of January" 2008 through December 2008 demonstrated that the Greystone WWTP had no permit limit violations for 2008. VII. Laboratory Sample analyses are conducted by Watertech. The laboratory was not reviewed at the time of the subject inspection. However, it was noted that some chain of custody forms were not properly signed by this lab, this was noted in a previous inspection. VIII.Operation and Maintenance Operation and maintenance continue to improve. IX.

Deot. of ENR OAT 31 " 2005 Winston-Salem Regional Office Subject:. Engineering Alternative Analysis (EAA) Greystone Subdivision WWTP Forsyth County Return # 2241 . In accordance with Division policy, we must hereby return the attached Engineering Alternative Analysis. After a preliminary review by the NPDES staff, the Division has determined that the EAA package lacks the following items: Complete evaluation of discharge alternatives. The Division requires applicants for new and expanding discharge permits to fully document all alternatives to surface water. discharge (15A NCAC 2H.0105 (c) (2)). Each discharge alternative should be thoroughly evaluated and each conclusion should be substantiated by appropriate documents and itemized budgets. In accordance with the EA A Guidance Document, the Direct Discharge to Surface Water alternative should be evaluated based on the tertiary treatment limits [BOD5= 5 mg/L, NH3-N= 1 mg/L] and assuming a weekly sampling regime. Comparison of Present Worth values between Connection to Existing Collection System and Direct Discharge to Surface Water indicates that cost difference is less than 6%. Re-evaluation of the item 4.4 Direct Discharge to Surface Water is likely to make this difference even smaller. Therefore, the Division recommends that you consider connection to a POTW as the preferred alternative. If you have any questions about the NPDES permit process, contact me at the address or telephone number listed below.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 BACKGROUND The existing Greystone Subdivision Wastewater Treatment Plant (Greystone WWTP) is located north of the Town of Kernersville in Forsyth County, North Carolina. It is situated on a 0.55 acre parcel at 1549 Creek Bed Road and serves a tributary area in the immediate vicinity of the plant, including the residential lGreystone Subdivision community. The plant location is illustrated on Figure 1 Vicinity Map. Greystone WWTP is owned and operated by AQUA North Carolina, hie. (AQUA) and is permitted under NPDES Discharge Permit NC0078115. Appendix A - NPDES Discharge Permit NC0078115 contains a_ copy of this permit which is set to expire on February 28, 2007. The plant discharges to an unnamed tributary of Belews Creek in the Roanoke River Basin. The point of discharge is also"Illustrated on Figure 1. Effluent limits are established in the permit fora 32,000 gallon per day (gpd) capacity treatment plant. AQUA desires to expand this facility to treat wastewater from an adjoining property that is planned for development. Because of size limitations of the existing site, the expansion is proposed as a totally new facility which will be located downstream (northerly) of the existing plant on the adjoining property. This Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) is intended to meet the requirements of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources - Division of - Water Quality (DWQ) and is submitted in support of an application for NPDES permit authorization as either a modification to the existing permit NCO078115 or as a ` replacement of this permit. The requested plant capacity) is 185,000 gpd. This EAA evaluates alternatives on the basis of the full 185,000 gpd capacity (existing 32,000 gpd plus proposed 153,000 gpd). 1.2 PROPOSED PROJECT The existing WWTP is a packaged treatment facility of steel construction. It was construction in 2003 and replaced a problematic plant at the same site. Expansion of this facility is not possible due to the small size of the property. Also, the proposed development adjacent to Greystone is down gradient from the current discharge point and pumping would be required. Because of these reasons, a new facility is proposed. The proposed WWTP discharge point is shown on Figure 1 and more specifically illustrated on Figure 2 - Existing WWTP and Expansion WWTP Locations. The regional topography of the proposed WWTP site and surrounding property is illustrated on Figure 3 -Proposed WWTP Site Topographic Map. GREYSTONE WWTP RELOCATION & --' EXPANSION ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES - ANALYSIS The existing treatment system is an extended aeration process with flow equalization, aeration tanks, clarifiers, aerobic sludge digestion, tablet chlorination, post aeration, effluent metering, and a gravity discharge. The proposed WWTP will also be an extended aeration process as described above, but will use ultraviolet disinfection instead of the tablet disinfection. 1.3 APPLICANT NAME & CONTACT INFORMATION Mr. Michael J.

DISCHARGE CONDITIONS 2.1 EXISTING DISCHARGE PERMIT LIMITS Permit NCO078115 includes limits for the existing 32,000 gpd plant capacity. The permit is included in Appendix A and the limits are as follows: Table 1 - Current Permit- Limits Effluent Characteristics Flow Monthly Average 32,000 gpd Daily Maximum BOD, 5-Day 23.0 mg/l - 34.5 mg/l Total Sus ended Residue 30.0 mg/l . 45.0 mg/1. .

Fecal Coliform 200 / 100 nil 400 / 100 nil Total Phos horus No Limit- Quarterly Monitoring Ph. 6.0-9.0 . 6.0—.9.0 2.2 ZERO FLOW STREAM RESTRICTIONS These restrictions are not applicable because the discharge is to a water body with regular stream flows. As part of the investigation of expansion feasibility, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Water Resources Division in Raleigh was contacted: Mr. Curtis Weaver of the USGS provided data regarding the 7Q 10 for the unnamed tributary. His response is contained in Appendix B. — Stream Flow Determination by USGS. The 7Q10 yield at the proposed discharge point at Vance Road (SR 2014) ranges between 0.13 and 0.15. cubic feet per square mile (cfsm). With a tributary'area of 2.65 square miles, the 7Q10 is 21'9,732 gpd for the lesser yield rate. The 30Q2 yield is 513,786 gpd. The tributary area is illustrated on the plan contained in Appendix B. 2.3 RECEIVING STREAM CLASSIFICATION RESTRICTIONS At the existing and proposed points of discharge, the creek is classified class C waters in the Roanoke River Basin. Class C waters have a defined best usage for aquatic life propagation /protection and secondary. recreation. Under this classification, discharges are normally permitted. GREYSTONE VWVTP RELOCATION & EXPANSION ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS 3 2.4 BASINWIDE WATER QUALITY PLANS The most, recent Roanoke River water quality plan was issued in July 2001 after undergoing public input and review. As noted in this water quality plan, Sub -basin 03- 02-01 does contain Impaired Waters on the 303(d) list including Belews Lake and Town Fork Creek. Neither- of. these. Impaired Waters appears to be affected by waters from the unnamed tributary of Belews Creek that serves as the proposed WWTP. . discharge carrier. The Greystone Subdivision WWTP is cited in the plan as having occasional, short-term violations of ammonia limits and the plan -recommends major improvements be.made to the facilities. As previously noted in this EAA, the'old Greystone WWTP cited in the July 2001 edition of the water quality plan was replaced in 2003. The current plant operates' efficiently within the permit limits. There are no conditions mentioned in the water quality plan that are expected to restrict the discharge of the. proposed Greystone WWTP beyond the limits currently permitted for the existing plant.-. 2.5 IMPAIRED WATERS AND TMDLS The unnamed tributary of Belews Creek is not listed as Impaired and TDML's have not been established. 2.6 . PRESENCE OF ENDANGERED SPECIES No specific references have been found to indicate the present of endangered species located in the vicinity of the current Greystone WWTP discharge point. A search of records at the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program offices in Raleigh was conducted and no endangered or protected plants or animalspecies have been . discovered or documented in the vicinity of the proposed discharge point. 2.7 LOCAL GOVERNMENT REVIEW The existing plant and surrounding region are located in unincorporated Forsyth County. The proposed plant location is consistent with the current zoning and subdivision ordinance of the County. Appendix .0 — Local Government Review Form has been submitted through the Winston-Salem / Forsyth County Inspection Department for completion by the County Manager. GREYSTONE WWTP RELOCATION & EXPANSION ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS 4 GREYSTONE WWTP RELOCATION & EXPANSION ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS 3. . FUTURE WASTEWATER FLOWS 3.1 EXISTING SERVICE AREA INFORMATION The service areas for the existing and proposed WWTP's are shown on Figure 2 — Existing WWTP. and Expansion WWTP Locations. Included in the ultimate service area is the existing Greystone Subdivision and the proposed 67 acre Lambe development. 3.2 CURRENT FLOWS The average wastewater flow for the twelve month period ending September 2005 is. approximately 13,00.0 gpd. The Greystone Subdivision area consists of 135 single family lots,, but only 72 of these properties are currently connected to the sewer, collection system. It is assumed that all lots will be connected at sometime in the future as septic systems begin to fail. The houses contained in this development are generally 4 bedroom houses. The allocated flow based on a DWQ standard flow generation factors .including 120 gallons per day per bedroom, is 64,800 gpd. 3.3 FUTURE FLOWS The 67 acre property that is immediately adjacent to. the Greystone Subdivision is projected to contain 250 single family lots when fully developed. As is the case with the existing service area, these lots are expected to have 4 bedroom houses. Using the. same estimation criteria as above, the projected wastewater flows to an expanded Greystone WWTP are as follows: -Table 2 —Projected Wasteviratetflows I Existing Flow -from Greystone Subdivision 64,800 67 Acre Property Subdivision 120,000 Total Permitted Flow and Future Flow 184,800 5 4. ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS There are several alternative methods of disposal available including (1) the connection to an existing wastewater system, (2) land application of effluent, (3) reuseof effluent, (4) the continued discharge to the unnamed tributary of Belews Creek, and (5) combinations of these alternatives. 4.1 CONNECTION TO EXISTING WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM AND WWTP The Winston-Salem / Forsyth County Utilities Commission operates a wastewater collection system with two treatment facilities discharging to .the Yadkin River. They have collection system facilities serving Kernersville and surrounding region. The nearest gravity sewer with sufficient capacity to handle the required 185,000 gpd flow is approximately 3.4 miles south of the proposed discharge point. The Commission system contains gravity sewers and pump stations with force mains. The collected wastewater in the system generally flows. to the west towards Winston-Salem. A recent study of the existing collection system indicated that adequate capacity for additional flows may not exist downstream. The Greystone WWTP service area is.separated from the existing Utilities Commission sewers by the ridge line between Belews Creek and the unnamed tributary of Belews Creek. It will be necessary to pump wastewater to. the Commission sewers. Also, downstream capacity improvements are expected to be required in order to accommodate the addition of 185,000 gpd from Greystone. When adjusted to peak flow using 2.5 as a peaking factor, the flow capacity required for Greystone is 321 gallons per minute. This peak flow rate is used to evaluate both gravity and pumping facilities in the Winston-Salem / Forsyth County Utilities system. According to Mr. Ron Hardgrove, Deputy Director of Winston-Salem / Forsyth County Utilities, their system can accommodate the projected..flow except for a section of the 18-inch Kerners Mill Outfall sewer which may require enlargement to serve the Greystone and other areas. Thecost of this improvement is included in the cost analysis of this alternative. It has been prorated based on the expected contribution of the Greystone area. The Utilities Commission would probably accept the flow from the Greystone service area. Under current Commission policy, no access, fees are assessed to new customers in this region. The facilities necessary to connect to the Utilities Commission's gravity sewer are shown on Figure 4 — Connection to Existing_ Wastewater Collection System and WWTP. . GREYSTONE WWTP RELOCATION & EXPANSION ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS 6 The estimate capital cost of this alternative with impact fees is $2,248,896 as presented in Appendix D — Connection to Existing Collection System and. WWTP - Present Value Calculations. 4.2 LAND. APPLICATION Applying treated wastewater to land at rates compatible with the natural physical, . chemical and biological processes that occur in soils is an alternative. Due to odor . problems and buffer requirements, land applying screened wastewater is generally _ performed in. very rural areas with access to abundant well -drained and cleared land. The Greystone WWTP 'is located in an area that is experiencing moderate development growth. It is being developed for residential land uses with supporting commercial properties. The region is characterized as rolling topography with many streams and creeks. Large areas lie within regulated flood plains. There are few large parcels of property near the Greystone plant site. For the purposes of this alternative analysis, several parcels ranging in size between 285 and 88 acres were -identified from the Forsyth County GIS database. These properties are illustrated on Figure 5 — Potential Land Application Sites and tabulated in Appendix E - Potential Land Application Sites. The table contains ownership information, area, tax value, current zoning classification, and approximate area of the property impacted by flood plains. A tax value per acre of useable property (total area less wetlands/flood plain) has been estimated. Most of these parcels are either used for agricultural purposes or are 'in the = development planning stage. It is not likely that the property owners would willingly sell their property for land application purposes. The analysis of this alternative has only been undertaken to determine financial cost of the alternative, not actual feasibility. Many.other factors can influence the potential of this alternative including the. . presence of wetlands, environmental factors, zoning issues, and property owner willingness to sell their property: AQUA does not own any land in the area other than the current WWTP site and.several community well sites. Four parcels within a mile and one half of the proposed WWTP site were identified as large enough to be used for land application. One was chosen as representative of the others and used for cost rI estimating purposes. It is -owned by T.G. Preston Jr. Buffer zones for a spray irrigation system are required by DWQ requirements. These are per NC Administrative Code (NCAC) T15A: 02H.0200 and are set at 400 feet from any habitable residence, 150 feet from any property line, and 100 feet from a . stream, canal or marsh. Assuming a soil loading rate of 36 inches per year, the GREYSTONE WWTP RELOCATION & EXPANSION ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS 7 GREYSTONE WWTP RELOCATION & EXPANSION ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS needed land area would be 74 acres. A 60-day storage reservoir would require 1. approximately 5 acres to contain a l 1.1 million gallon lined pond with a water depth . -- of seven feet. After adding space for an effluent storage reservoir.and the required I buffers, a total of 111 acres of land will be required depending on the shape of the property available. An estimate of the capital cost of the land application system was made without the benefit of a soil scientist, design, or field information. The estimated capital cost,. including -property acquisition is $6,246,850 and is detailed in the Appendix F — Land Application - Present Value Calculations. This alternative requires a WWTP with performance capabilities similar to that permitted under the current NPDES permit. I� As a result of the present .worth analysis and the additional considerations listed above, land application is not considered a viable alternative. �f 4.3 IMPLEMENTATION OF A REUSE PROGRAM With modifications, a wastewater treatment facility meeting the requirements of an expanded Greystone WWTP can treat wastewater to the -required effluent standards that would allow its use as reuse water. Reuse quality effluent would require the addition of 5-day storage pond with return pump station, and 30-60 day storage pond for inclement weather conditions. Since the existing WWTP site is limited, acquisition of property for the location of both reservoirs would be necessary. Approximately 4.9 acres. would be necessary for these reservoirs. Ultimate disposal of the effluent from the WWTP is usually anticipated to be by land I application on a golf course. The level of treatment required for spray irrigation on - golf courses is tertiary treatment plus a very low coliform count. Consistent with the requirements of NCAC T15A:02H.219k, the WWTP is required to produce an effluent with characteristics as follows: ■ BOD5. (monthly average) <10 mg/l BOD5 (daily maximum) <15 mg/l ■ TSS (monthly average) <5 mg/l -1 TSS (daily maximum)' <10 mg/1 LJ n Fecal Coliform (monthly average) <14/100 ml ■ Fecal Coliform (daily maximum) <25/100 m1 ■ Turbidity (maximum) <10 NTU Regulations require ammonia -nitrogen less than 4 mg/1(monthly average) and 6 mg/l l (daily maximum). However, to avoid nutrient induced algal growth -in irrigation -' ponds and to prevent groundwater contamination, it is desirable to minimize the-' 8 'GREYSTONE WWTP RELOCATION & EXPANSION ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS release of nitrogen and phosphorus. Accordingly, it is desirable to limit -the effluent nitrate concentration to 15 mg/l and phosphorus concentration to 5 mg/l. The second part of a reuse program is finding users. Potential consumers of reuse water are landscape irrigation sites. and industrial sites. Reclaimed water contains nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which can be detrimental to surface waters yet beneficial to terrestrial vegetation. Treated effluent can also be used by some industrial users for, their non -potable water needs. There are no water -using . industries in the region: Golf courses generally have the best reuse potential among landscape. irrigation users due to their high application rates, large irrigated areas, and single supply point. Peak reuse flows occur at night when most landscape irrigation is performed. Future golf courses have an advantage in that the water storage facility, usually an isolated pond, can be added to the course design to allow for off-peak pumping. There are no existing golf courses in the vicinity of the Greystone WWTP. . For the capital costs estimates, the same parcel identified under the land application alternative was considered. The force main routing is the same for both alternatives.. . The estimate of the capital costs for the reuse system is $6,460,790 as detailed in Appendix G — Reuse - Present Value Calculations. This estimate was made without the benefit of a soil scientist, -design. or field information. This alternative requires a WWTP with performance capabilities exceeding that permitted under the current. NPDES permit. Because a.suitable reuse customer is not available, this alternative is not considered a viable alternative. j . 4.4 DIRECT DISCHARGE TO SURFACE WATERS This alternative involves the total replacement of the existing 32,000 gpd wastewater treatment plant with a 185,000 gpd plant, designed to meet the requirements of the current discharge permit limits. The proposed plant will include the following , components: . ■ Dual Train Reliability ■ Flow Equalization Basins with Aeration. ■ Extended Aeration Basins. • Gravity Clarifiers. . - Ultraviolet Disinfection with Post Aeration. ;I 9 ■ Sludge" Digestion and Storage with Aeration. ■ Emergency Power Generator. The proposed improvements are illustrated in Figure. 6 — Proposed WWTP Schematic: The basis of design for the 185,000 gpd plant is contained in Appendix H— Design " Basis for Proposed WWTP Improvements. The estimate of the capital costs for the WWTP is $2,781,350 as detailed in Appendix I - Direct Discharge - Present Value Calculations. 4.5 COMBINATION OF OPTIONS Any combination of the alternatives listed above is not feasible. The capital costs of the land application and reuse alternatives are much higher than continuing discharging to the unnamed tributary of B"elews Creek as shown below. " Table 3 - Summary. of Alternative Costs. Alternative Connection to Existing Collection System Capital Cost & Fees $2,248,896 Land A plication System $6,246,850 Reuse System $6,460,790 WWTP with Direct Discharge $2,781,350 Since the capital costs land application and reuse are significantly higher for the alternatives other than a surface.water discharge, combinations of alternatives will likewise be more expensive. Construction of the direct discharge WWTP allows AQUA to meet the demands of project flow growth. The connection to Winston-Salem / Forsyth County Utilities Commission facilities would require the installation of facilities oversized for near term needs and consequently require significant expenditures of money which would not be supported by user rates. In addition, the coordination with the Commission on downstream improvements to the Kerners Mill Outfall may delay the expansion of the Greystone service area unreasonably. 5. ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY. OF ALTERNATIVES 5.1 PRESENTVALUE CALCULATION ASSUMPTIONS The determination. of present values for the alternatives include capital costs, land acquisition, impact fees, and operation & maintenance. costs. Fixed costs include all of the above except the O&M costs which are accumulated and adjusted to reflect the GREYSTONE WWTP RELOCATION & EXPANSION ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS 10 GREYSTONE WWTP RELOCATION & EXPANSION ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS total expenses in reference to present dollars. The analysis period is 20 years with an inflation factor of 5.875% as established by the US Environmental Protection Agency and as published annually by the Construction Grants & Loans section of the DWQ. I The present value calculations are contained in Appendices D, F, G, and I. They are summarized in the following table. Table 4 — Summary of. Alternative, Present Values Alternative Capital Connection to Existing Collection System Cost & Fees $4,062,992 Land Application System $7,871,379 Reuse System $8,085,319. WWTP with Direct Discharge $3,852,010 5.2 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the capital and present value analysis, the direct discharge to surface water alternative is the recommended plan.

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. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. Version 6/20/2003 NPDES Permit Requirements Page 2 of 16 In accordance with (4)•above, uifluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor the number of samples less than four 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 contiivally 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 aritlunetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3) Daily Maximum The lvvhest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampluig Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified iu 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 resciided. 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. 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.

Severe propert, 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 Clean Water Act. 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 limits 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.

The only previous determination in this basin is for a location in the headwaters estimated in 1988 (Sta. 0211545815, drainage 0.13 sgmi) In the absence of site -specific data, low -flow characteristics are estimated by assessing a range in low -flow yields (expressed as flow per square mile drainage area in cubic feet per second per square mile, or cfsm). For the•1988 estimate, the 7Q10 and 30Q2 low -flow yields used was 0.10 and 0.33 cfsm, respectively. These yields were based on a nearby USGS partial -record site (Sta. 02115671, drainage 3.93 sgmi) near Lewisville. Low -flow characteristics for the above partial -record site and other nearby sites were published in USGS Water -Supply Paper 2403 "Low -flow characteristics of streams in North Carolina" (Giese and Mason, 1993). Assessment of the low -flow yields at these nearby locations suggest a 7Q10 yield ranging .rom 0.08 to 0.16 cfsm and a 30Q2 yield ranging from 0.31 to 0.39 cfsm. In the absence of any other information or analyses, a 7Q10 yield of 0.10 cfsm and,30Q2 yield of 0.35 cfsm can be considered appropriate for this stream. Once you know the drainage areas for your points of interest, you can apply these yields to estimate the 7Q10 and 30Q2 flows. Our drainage -area maps here at the USGS office show the drainage at the mouth of this tributary to be 1.28 sgmi (Sta. 0211545825, Yadkin River tributary near Grapewood). We do not have any drainage -area information for the other two points of interest on this stream. (2) Belews Creek tributary at SR 2014 -- Previous estimates for this site were made in response to a 1982 request; however, the estimates are based on relations that are no longer used to assess low -flow characteristics. A check of the low -flow characteristics for some nearby USGS partial -record sites suggests that the 7Q10 yield ranges from 0.13 to 0.15 cfsm, and the 30Q2 yield ranges from 0.3 to 0.33 cfsm. A check of the geologic map also indicates there is a transition in the underlying geologic setting that could result in some of the low - flow yields being at smaller levels. However, records for sites in this area are limited and in the absence of any other data or information, the above yield ranges can be used. The drainage -area for the location at SR 2014 is 2.65 sgmi (station id 020690235, Belews Creek tributary at SR 2014 near Kernersville). Hope this information is helpful. Thank you. .urtis Weaver *********************************************************************** J.
