SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Meadow Ridge Subdivision - Water Treatment Plant Discharge
NPDES Permit No. NCO088927
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Roberts:
Donald van der Vaart
Secretary
On February 3, 2015, Mike Mickey of this office met with Pete Dealing to perform a
Compliance Evaluation Inspection on the NPDES wastewater discharge from the Meadow Ridge
WTP. The system was found to be compliant with the NPDES permit. The inspection findings are -
detailed below and an inspection checklist is attached for your records.
I. Permit
The NPDES permit expires next on February 28, 2017. Please note that at the next renewal the
permit will require that the monthly self -monitoring reports (DMRs) for the Meadow Ridge
Subdivision be submitted electronically per new EPA rules.
H. Self -Monitoring Program
The- DMRs were reviewed for the period January 2014 through December 2014. The facility was
found to be compliant with the final. NPDES effluent limits for the above period (See data
summary attached). In regards to the permit monitoring requirements, it was noted that all
sampling was performed per the frequencies specified in the permit.
III. Facility Site Review
The components of the filter backwash system consist of four green saridfilters followed by liquid
dechlorm* ation. The flow estimate on the DMR is the maximum 24 hour backwash rate of 0.0005
MGD. In most cases, the actual flow is less than this value.
IV. Operations and Maintenance
The facility appeared competently operated and maintained. No problems or concerns were noted.

V. Records/Reports
A review of the facility files found the operators records to be thorough and maintained according
to the permit. A comparison of the December 2014 self -monitoring report with the corresponding
operator records and laboratory data sheets from Water Tech Labs showed that all values were
transcribed correctly onto the DMR.
VI. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The .system discharges into the headwaters of a tributary of Kings Creek, class `B" waters of the
Roanoke River Basin. No discharge was occurring at the time of the inspection
Your efforts to comply with the permit are appreciated. Should you have any questions
concerning this letter, please contact Mike Mickey or me at [phone].

Meadow Ridge Subdivision - Water Treatment Plant Discharge
NPDES Permit No. NCO088927
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Roberts:
On November 21, 2013, Mike Mickey of this office met with Pete Dealing and Alan Duke to
perform a Compliance Evaluation Inspection on the NPDES wastewater discharge from the Meadow
Ridge WTP. The system was found to be in compliance with the NPDES permit. The inspection findings
are detailed below and an inspection checklist is attached for your records.
1. Permit
The NPDES permit expires next on February 28, 2017. The system discharges into a tributary of Kings
Creek, class "B" waters of the Roanoke River Basin. No discharge was occurring at the time of the
inspection.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
The monthly self -monitoring reports (DMR's) were reviewed for the period January 2013 through
September 2013. The facility was found to be compliant with the final NPDES effluent limits for the
above period, except for a single monthly average TSS violation that occurred in August 2013 (See data
summary attached). This violation was previously addressed by correspondence from this office. In
regards to the permit monitoring requirements, it was noted that all sampling was performed
frequencies specified in the permit. Aqua staff performs the on -site monitoring for pH and total
chlorine. Water Tech Labs performs the analyses for all other parameters.
3. Facility Site Review
The components of the filter backwash system consist of four green sandfilters follower''
dechlorination. An in -line totalizing water meter is used to measure flow. It was noted th-
was listed as the flow value on the DMR's for every day in 2013. It seems highly
discharge flow is this consistent.

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Meadow Ridge Subdivision Water Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit No. NCO088927
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Roberts:
On August 3, 2012, Mike Mickey of this office met with George Gatewood to perform a
Compliance Evaluation Inspection on the NPDES wastewater discharge from the Meadow Ridge WTP.
This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: an in office file review and an on -site inspection of the
treatment facility. The system was found to be in compliance with the NPDES permit. The attached EPA
inspection form notes the seven (7) areas that were evaluated. The findings and observations are
outlined below:
I. Permit
The NPDES permit was recently reissued with an effective date of March 1, 2012.
II. Self -Monitoring Program
The monthly self -monitoring reports (DMR's) were reviewed for the period June 2011 through May 2012.
The facility was found to be in consistent compliance with final NPDES effluent limits for the above period
(See data summary attached). Two effluent limit violations were noted; a monthly average TSS
violation in November 2011 and a daily maximum total residual chlorine violation in May 2012. In
regards to the permit monitoring requirements, it was noted that all sampling was performed per the
frequencies specified in the permit.
111. Flow Measurement
The NPDES permit specifies a 2/month flow estimate. The effluent flow values reported on the DMR are
measured by an in -line totalizing meter.
IV. Operations and Maintenance
The facility appeared to be competently operated and maintained. No problems or concerns were noted.

V. Facility Site Review
The existing components of the filter backwash system consist of four green sandfilters followed by liquid
dechlorination, an in -line totalizing water meter and effluent discharge line.
VI. Records/Reports
A review of the facility files indicates that all records are being maintained according to the permit.
VII. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The system discharges into an unnamed tributary of Kings Creek, class "B" waters in the Roanoke River
Basin.
Should you have any questions concerning this report, please contact Mike Mickey or me at (336)

1) , If the backwash source water uses fluorinated water then total fluoride monitoring
should be added.
2) If the backwash source water has been treated with zinc based corrosion inhibitor then
zinc monitoring should be added.
3. Important SOC, JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: NA.
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: As per Thurman Horne, PE, no other disposal options are
available for this type of operation due to lack of available/suitable land and or economic
constraints. However, no formal evaluation has been conducted by local Environmental
Health Department for suitability of subsurface system. Site is approximately 2.44 acres
according to PE proposal. Well buffer of 100 feet would eliminate some of this land, but
there is still a potential for the remaining land to be used. PE states that "given the
limitations described in the attached soil survey and discussed above, it is doubtful that this is
a viable option". He also states that "... before a final design and/or approval could be given,
an actual on site soils evaluation would be required".
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
WSRO recommends issuance of the permit for the discharge created from backwashing of
the green sand filters at Meadow Ridge Subdivision with the following stipulations:
1) If TRC limit is imposed, it may be necessary to add dechlorination system prior to discharge.
According to Public Water Supply staff, drinking water must meet a minimum of 0.2 mmg/L
TRC. If chlorinated water is used for backwash, the discharge will most likely not be able to
meet the 17 ug/L limit (or 50 ug/L compliance limit).
2) System must discharge into UT to Kings Creek, not onto ground.

Subject: Meadow Ridge Well system NPDES permit application
Scott,
I am in the process of reviewing the NPDES permit application for the Meadow Ridge Subdivision well system in
Stokesdale, NC.
In order to complete my review, I need a couple questions answered.
1) Is the green sandfilter system currently installed at the site? Yes, this system is installed.
2) If so, when was it installed and made operational?
1 would need to find this out as Aqua purchased this system, however, as -built drawings were submitted on
511212009. PWS noted the system made changes existing filters, and this was in violation with the DEH rules, on
511212009. As for when the previously existing filters were installed, I cannot answer easily. Please let me know if
what information 1 have provided is satisfactory.
Could I obtain a copy of the PWS documentation dated on/about 5/12/2009? Fax number is 336-771-4630 or

3) If installed and operational, how much does it currently discharge? Our application requests to discharge 2,500
gpd. 1 do not know if it is currently discharging when backwashed or if our operations department was able to
supply the system with other sources until we get our discharge permitted. Are you looking to verify if the value is
less than 2,500 gpd?
I will need to know whether or not it is currently discharging prior to issuance of the permit.
Thanks.

Section 1: General
1.01 Introduction:
Aqua North Carolina, Inc. (Aqua NC) currently owns and operates an existing well
- - water system serving Meadow Ridge Subdivision (Meadow Ridge), located
southwest of Stokesdale, N.C. in Guilford County. The well system is supplied by
the combined yield from two (2) wells that are equipped with an assembly of green
sand filters for the treatment of groundwater prior to distribution to the Meadow
Ridge community. These filters will be backwashed, using potable water,
approximately once every day. This backwash is a relatively small volume of
approximately 2,500 gallons. The discharge will leave the well house via a 2"
plastic pipe, and will be released into an intermittent stream that is an unnamed
tributary to Kings Creek in the Roanoke River basin.
The well system is existing but required that filters be installed in order to insure
consistent compliance with public water supply requirements. Whereas there will
be a discharge of low volumes of filter backwash, Aqua NC is required to obtain an
NPDES permit for the operation of the filters and backwash discharge.
The Meadow Ridge water system currently has 65 customers and has reached the
approved number of connections. The two (2) wells provide 105 gpm. No
expansion of the capacity of this well system is planned and the system is
sufficient to serve the subdivision. No expansion of the subdivision or service area
is planned. Therefore, there is no potential for any substantial population increase
to affect the existing rate of water use or proposed backwash discharge flow (2500
gallons/two days.)
The review of this source and the consideration of alternatives is being made with
inclusion of consideration of the guidance contained in "Permitting Strategy for
Greensand Filtration Water Treatment Plants - January 2004" and "NPDES
Permitting Strategies For Potable Water Treatment Plants — September 2007".
1.02 Scope:
The scope of this project is limited to the investigation and evaluation of
alternatives for treating and/or disposing of the green sand filter backwash from
the well system at Meadow Ridge Subdivision. This includes consideration of the
feasibility of discharging the backwash to surface waters and options for
eliminating the existing discharge.
Section 2: Background Information
2.01 Project Area:

4
The existing service area is limited to Meadow Ridge Subdivision. All homes are
single family residences. There are no commercial or industrial customers. All
wastewater is typical backwash from green sand filters.
The proposed discharge coordinates are: Longitude: -80 deg. 00 min. 16 sec. W
Latitude: 36 deg. 12 min. 40 sec. N
2.02 Site Characteristics:
The subdivision is located in an urban/rural portion of Guilford county, outside any
municipal limits and remote from public water and/or sewer. The nearest existing
sewer is approximately 7.25 miles (38,300 feet) away.
The general area has soil characteristics which are somewhat limited to the
possibility of on site treatment and disposal.
Terrain is generally rolling but has been graded level at the existing well site.
2.03 Receiving Stream Characteristics:
The receiving stream is intermittent in nature and is an unnamed tributary to Kings
Creek, which is class B waters. The re_ceivin-g:-stmorn—appears to be a zero flow
stream (7Q10 and 30Q2 = 0) but since the wastewater discharge is,not_oxygen--_)
consum-di ing,scharge into the zero flow stream should be allowable under state
procedures.
This receiving stream has no known outstanding features or characteristics that
should preclude the proposed discharge. There are no known endangered or
threatened species and these are not threatened or impaired waters.
Section 3: Existing Utilities
3.01 Public Facilities:
The nearest existing public sewer is located approximately 7.25 miles southeast of
the existing well near the junction of NC Hwy 68 and Pleasant Ridge Road. The
distance that would be required for sewer force mains to be installed would be
approximately 38,300 ft. This would be the route that appears to be the most
practical from an engineering perspective to take advantage of following existing
highway right of way and have minimal impact to adjacent property owners.
- The City of Greensboro provides sewer services at this nearest location. The
possibility of sewer service being extended in this vicinity was discussed with Ms.
Y Beth Aheron, Guilford County, Environmental Services Coordinator. Ms. Aheron
has advised that there are no plans for any sewer extensions in the Meadow
Ridge vicinity. Therefore, consideration of connection to public sewers must be
made on the basis of considering the costs and requirements for extending a force
main and/or gravity sewers to reach the nearest available publicly owned sewers.

3.02 Private Facilities:
There are no known existing private sewer utilities within any reasonable proximity
of Meadow Ridge Subdivision that would be available for consideration as a
possible alternative. A review of available records did not reveal that there are any
private sewer facilities within over a three mile radius.
Section 4: Alternatives for Service
4.01: On site surface and/or subsurface disposal:
Subsurface Disposal:
Appendix F contains portions of soil survey reports that provide insight as to the
suitability of the soils for subsurface disposal. As described in the report, these
soils are mainly Nathalie-Clifford-Hatboro soils with characteristics that are
somewhat limited to very limited with respect to the potential for subsurface
disposal. For the purposes of evaluating subsurface disposal as a potential
alternative, an application rate of 0.30 gpd/SF will be used as a reasonable
assumption for a possible loading rate for these type soils. Of course, before a
final design and/or approval could be given, an actual on site soils evaluation
would be required.
Subsurface disposal requires buffers and land for the drainfields as well as equal
areas of suitable soil, be available and maintained as potential repair/replacement
areas.
Aqua North Carolina owns a 2.44 acre lot around the well. Whereas the wells must
have a 100 foot buffer to any disposal site, this would necessitate that Aqua North
Carolina acquire additional property to allow for the possible subsurface disposal
site, repair/reserve area and buffers.
Given the limitations described in the attached soil survey and discussed above, it=
(is-doubtful-that-thiss is a viable option. A full and extensive soils investigation of
potential sites would be necessary to confirm if useable areas are available. In
keeping with the state guidance for alternatives evaluation, the cost effectiveness
of this alternative is further evaluated to determine if a detailed soils analysis is
appropriate. The costs associated with this option are estimated in Appendix A.
This option would require that the discharge be conveyed to an acquired site
having sufficient area for subsurface disposal and a suitable reserve area of equal
size, and that these areas include adequate buffers from property lines, homes,
wells, etc.
Surface Irrigation:

Disposal by irrigation requires storage capacity for periods of inclement weather
when application is not allowable. Therefore consideration of this as a possible
alternative must also include the provision of storage of the backwash waters
during periods of inclement weather.
The soil surveys for this area have determined this to have very limited potential
for on site surface disposal. Consideration of this alternative is based on an
assumed allowable application rate of 0.20 inches per week which is based on a
-' typical range of 0.15 to 0.25 inches per week for this geographic area and the soil
conditions generally described in the soils survey. Storage requirements for this
area are typically in the range of 45 to 90 days. For purposes of this assessment,
a storage requirement of 60 days will be assumed.
Considering the relatively benign nature of the proposed discharge, it is not
- expected that any additional treatment would be required for surface application.
Although the additional cost of conveyance and the additional costs for on site
disposal should readily be recognized as a significant cost increase as compared
to the alternative of surface water discharge, an estimate of the costs for this
alternative is included in Appendix A for comparison.
The evaluation is based on a very conservative assumption that the nearest
available lands that could be reasonably used would actually be available. A
comparison of the costs were made first, using the best (lowest cost) reasonable
assumptions. It would obviously be necessary to perform a more detailed site
investigation and ascertain if the property owner would consider allowing these
lands to be acquired for this purpose.
4.02: Wastewater Reuse
Options for reuse of wastewater for this area are essentially nil. Reuse is usually
associated with non -potable uses such as irrigation. This becomes potentially
more viable if there is a need or outlet for reuse such as irrigation of a golf course.
The volume of this discharge is very low and would have little attraction as a
source for recycle purposes. This area does not have a golf course within a
reasonable proximity, nor are there any other viable options for reuse associated
with the subdivision or in the surrounding area.
4.03: Surface Water Discharge
This is the proposed method of wastewater disposal. There is no anticipated need
to add any new facilities for additional treatment.

An estimate of the costs for the continuation of this alternative is included in
Appendix A for comparison.
4.04: Combination of Alternatives
Alternatives to discharge that may be technologically feasible, such as connection
to the nearest public sewer, subsurface disposal and/or surface irrigation, could
not be employed in conjunction with the current method of disposal (surface water
discharge) and yield any reduction in total capital or operating expenditures. The
evaluation of alternatives shows that these alternatives are clearly not viable due
to the overwhelming magnitude of associated cost.
Combining one of these alternatives while continuing the periodic discharge, yields
no reduction in the cost for non -discharge alternatives and merely increases the
overall costs. There would be no reduction in capital costs for any of these
alternatives and the operating costs for combining surface discharge with either of
the other alternatives would be greater than for any single alternative that might be
selected.
In short, whereas the conclusion that surface discharge is the only viable option
due to the overwhelming differential in capital and operating costs, any addition of
an additional alternative would merely make the cost differential worse.
Section 5: Summary and Conclusions:
As can be seen from a comparison of the net present value of the various
alternatives, there is a wide difference between the cost estimate of the option of
continuing discharge and options to eliminate the discharge.
Compared to the cost of the next most cost effective and reliable alternative
(subsurface disposal) the estimated Net Present Value is approximately 1,110 %
greater.
In light of the financial impracticality, it is not necessary to further pursue whether
connection is politically acceptable to the POTW or whether land based disposal
options are workable.
By far, the most practical and cost effective and reasonably practical alternative is
the proposed discharge of the relatively benign filter backwash waters to surface
waters.
Section 6: Proposed Wastewater Treatment Facilities:
Based on the findings of this evaluation, it has been concluded that the most
economical and practical alternative is to discharge to surface waters.

3. Land Based Disposal:
3A. Subsurface Disposal:
Based on the soil survey information and the engineers field observations, the soils in this
area appear to be somewhat limited as a medium for subsurface disposal. In the event
that it was found to be apparently a cost effective alternative, an in depth site specific soil
investigation would need to be done to confirm that the soils could in fact be used.
However, for the purpose of comparing the potential alternatives within the scope of this
evaluation, it will be assumed that a typical low design loading rate would be workable.
Therefore, it will be assumed that a loading rate of 0.30 gpd/sq. ft. is acceptable.
Therefore on the design flow, the area required for subsurface disposal is:
2,500 gp 30 gpd/sq. ft.= 8,333 SF
" 2
2� Whereas it is required to maintain an equal size area as a reserve for future repair, the
required area is 16,667 SF. Appendix D contains a map, which delineates the area that
might be available for subsurface disposal.
In order to provide the required buffers to existing property lines, wells, drainageways,
etc., it is assumed that the required area will need to be increased by approximately 30%.
Therefore, it is estimated that the total land required to be obtained for subsurface
disposal is 21,667 SF or approximately 0.5 acres.

3B. Surface Irrigation:
Surface irrigation preliminary design is based on an assumed allowable application rate
of 0.20 gpd/sq. ft. and a required storage basin for 60 days design flow. Based on the
design flow of 2,500 gpd, this results in an estimated disposal area of 12,500 SF.
Allowing a recommended 50% repair area, the required total area is 18,750 SF.
Assuming a roughly rectangular field (400 ft x 500 ft. for the initial spray field plus repair
and in order to maintain the required 150 foot buffer to property lines), the minimum
estimated land required is 200,000 SF or approximately 4.7 acres.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas. They
highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about
the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many
—J different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners,
community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also,
conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal,
and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance
the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties
that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information
is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on
various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying
with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases.
Examples include soil quality assessments (http.//soils.usda.gov/sqi/) and certain
conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact
your local USDA Service Center (http://offices.se.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?
agency=nres) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://soils.usda.gov/contact/
state_offices/).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic
tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or
underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department
-� of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural
Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil
Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Soil Data Mart Web site or the NRCS Web Soil Survey. The Soil
Data Mart is the data storage site for the official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous areas
in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and
their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations
affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of
the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and
the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is
the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the
surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the
surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other
living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas
(MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share
common characteristics, related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources,
soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically
consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is
related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area.
Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of
landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous
areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the
landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus,
during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable
degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the
landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by
an understanding of the soil -vegetation -landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify
predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to
identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of
soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the

The soil map section includes the soil map for the defined area of interest, a list of soil
map units on the map and extent of each map unit, and cartographic symbols
displayed on the map. Also presented are various metadata about data used to
produce the map, and a description of each soil map unit.

classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments
on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If
' intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to
define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each
description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties
and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons
that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity,
degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such
differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the
detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly
indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0
to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The
pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all
areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or
anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical
or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and
relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha -
Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that
could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of
the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be
made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up
of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material
and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Soil Information for All Uses
Soil Reports
The Soil Reports section includes various formatted tabular and narrative reports
(tables) containing data for each selected soil map unit and each component of each
unit. No aggregation of data has occurred as is done in reports in the Soil Properties
and Qualities and Suitabilities and Limitations sections.
The reports contain soil interpretive information as well as basic soil properties and
qualities. A description of each report (table) is included.
Sanitary Facilities
This folder contains a collection of tabular reports that present soil interpretations
related to sanitary facilities. The reports (tables) include all selected map units and
components for each map unit, limiting features and interpretive ratings. Sanitary
facilities interpretations are tools designed to guide the user in site selection for the
safe disposal of sewage and solid waste. Example interpretations include septic tank
absorption fields, sewage lagoons, and sanitary landfills.
Sewage Disposal
This table shows the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect septic tank
- absorption fields and sewage lagoons. The ratings are both verbal and numerical.
Rating class terms indicate the extent to which the soils are limited by all of the soil
features that affect these uses. Not limited indicates that the soil has features that are
J very favorable for the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance
can be expected. Somewhat limited indicates that the soil has features that are
moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or
minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and moderate
maintenance can be expected. Very limited indicates that the soil has one or more
features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations generally cannot
be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or expensive installation
procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can be expected.
Numerical ratings in the table indicate the severity of individual limitations. The ratings
are shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations
between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the use
(1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00).

Custom Soil Resource Report
Septic tank absorption fields are areas in which effluent from a septic tank is distributed
into the soil through subsurface tiles or perforated pipe. Only that part of the soil
between depths of 24 and 72 inches or between a depth of 24 inches and a restrictive
layer is evaluated. The ratings are based on the soil properties that affect absorption
of the effluent, construction and maintenance of the system, and public health.
Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), depth to a water table, ponding, depth to
bedrock or a cemented pan, and flooding affect absorption of the effluent. Stones and
boulders, ice, and bedrock or a cemented pan interfere with installation. Subsidence
interferes with installation and maintenance. Excessive slope may cause lateral
seepage and surfacing of the effluent in downslope areas.
Some soils are underlain by loose sand and gravel or fractured bedrock at a depth of
less than 4 feet below the distribution lines. In these soils the absorption field may not
adequately filter the effluent, particularly when the system is new. As a result, the
ground water may become contaminated.
Sewage lagoons are shallow ponds constructed to hold sewage while aerobic bacteria
decompose the solid and liquid wastes. Lagoons should have a nearly level floor
surrounded by cut slopes or embankments of compacted soil. Nearly impervious soil
material for the lagoon floor and sides is required to minimize seepage and
contamination of ground water. Considered in the ratings are slope, saturated
hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), depth to a water table, ponding, depth to bedrock or a
cemented pan, flooding, large stones, and content of organic matter.
Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is a critical property affecting the suitability for
sewage lagoons. Most porous soils eventually become sealed when they are used as
sites for sewage lagoons. Until sealing occurs, however, the hazard of pollution is
severe. Soils that have a Ksat rate of more than 14 micrometers per second are too
porous for the proper functioning of sewage lagoons. In these soils, seepage of the
effluent can result in contamination of the ground water. Ground -water contamination
is also a hazard if fractured bedrock is within a depth of 40 inches, if the water table
is high enough to raise the level of sewage in the lagoon, or if floodwater overtops the
lagoon.
A high content of organic matter is detrimental to proper functioning of the lagoon
because it inhibits aerobic activity. Slope, bedrock, and cemented pans can cause
construction problems, and large stones can hinder compaction of the lagoon floor. If
the lagoon is to be uniformly deep throughout, the slope must be gentle enough and
the soil material must be thick enough over bedrock or a cemented pan to make land
smoothing practical.
Information in this table is intended for land use planning, for evaluating land use
alternatives, and for planning site investigations prior to design and construction. The
information, however, has limitations. For example, estimates and other data generally
apply only to that part of the soil between the surface and a depth of 5 to 7 feet.
Because of the map scale, small areas of different soils may be included within the
mapped areas of a specific soil.
The information is not site specific and does not eliminate the need for onsite
investigation of the soils or for testing and analysis by personnel experienced in the
design and construction of engineering works.
Government ordinances and regulations that restrict certain land uses or impose
specific design criteria were not considered in preparing the information in this table.
Local ordinances and regulations should be considered in planning, in site selection,
and in design.

Waste Management
This folder contains a collection of tabular reports that present soil interpretations
related to waste management. The reports (tables) include all selected map units and
components for each map unit, limiting features and interpretive ratings. Waste
management interpretations are tools designed to guide the user in evaluating soils
for use of organic wastes and wastewater as productive resources. Example
interpretations include land application of manure, food processing waste, and
municipal sewage sludge, and disposal of wastewater by irrigation or overland flow
process.
Agricultural Disposal of Wastewater by Irrigation and
Overland Flow
Soil properties are important considerations in areas where soils are used as sites for
the treatment and disposal of organic waste and wastewater. Selection of soils with
properties that favor waste management can help to prevent environmental damage.
This table shows the degree and kind of soil limitations affecting the treatment of
wastewater, including municipal and food -processing wastewater and effluent from
lagoons or storage ponds. Municipal wastewater is the waste stream from a
municipality. It contains domestic waste and may contain industrial waste. It may have
received primary or secondary treatment. It is rarely untreated sewage. Food -
processing wastewater results from the preparation of fruits, vegetables, milk, cheese,
and meats for public consumption. In places it is high in content of sodium and chloride.
In the context of this table, the effluent in lagoons and storage ponds is from facilities
used to treat or store food -processing wastewater or domestic or animal waste.
Domestic and food -processing wastewater is very dilute, and the effluent from the
facilities that treat or store it commonly is very low in content of carbonaceous and
nitrogenous material; the content of nitrogen commonly ranges from 10 to 30
milligrams per liter. The wastewater from animal waste treatment lagoons or storage
ponds, however, has much higher concentrations of these materials, mainly because
the manure has not been diluted as much as the domestic waste. The content of
nitrogen in this wastewater generally ranges from 50 to 2,000 milligrams per liter.
When wastewater is applied, checks should be made to ensure that nitrogen, heavy
metals, and salts are not added in excessive amounts.

Custom Soil Resource Report
The ratings in the table are for waste management systems that not only dispose of
and treat wastewater but also are beneficial to crops. The ratings are both verbal and
numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to which the soils are limited by all
of the soil features that affect agricultural waste management. Not limited indicates
that the soil has features that are very favorable for the specified use. Good
performance and very low maintenance can be expected. Somewhat limited indicates
that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the specified use. The
limitations can be overcome or minimized by special planning, design, or installation.
Fair performance and moderate maintenance can be expected. Very limited indicates
that the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The
limitations generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special
design, or expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high
maintenance can be expected.
'— Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity of individual limitations. The
ratings are shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate
gradations between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact
on the use (1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00).
Disposal of wastewater by irrigation not only disposes of municipal wastewater and
wastewater from food -processing plants, lagoons, and storage ponds but also can
improve crop production by increasing the amount of water available to crops. The
ratings in the table are based on the soil properties that affect the design, construction,
management, and performance of the irrigation system. The properties that affect
design and management include the sodium adsorption ratio, depth to a water table,
ponding, available water capacity, Ksat, slope, and flooding. The properties that affect
construction include stones, cobbles, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, depth to
a water table, and ponding. The properties that affect performance include depth to
bedrock or a cemented pan, bulk density, the sodium adsorption ratio, salinity,
reaction, and the cation -exchange capacity, which is used to estimate the capacity of
a soil to adsorb heavy metals. Permanently frozen soils are not suitable for disposal
of wastewater by irrigation.
Overland flow of wastewater is a process in which wastewater is applied to the upper
reaches of sloped land and allowed to flow across vegetated surfaces, sometimes
called terraces, to runoff -collection ditches. The length of the run generally is 150 to
300 feet. The application rate ranges from 2.5 to 16.0 inches per week. It commonly
exceeds the rate needed for irrigation of cropland. The wastewater leaves solids and
nutrients on the vegetated surfaces as it flows downslope in a thin film. Most of the
water reaches the collection ditch, some is lost through evapotranspiration, and a
small amount may percolate to the ground water.
The ratings in the table are based on the soil properties that affect absorption, plant
growth, microbial activity, and the design and construction of the system. Reaction
and the cation -exchange capacity affect absorption. Reaction, salinity, and the sodium
adsorption ratio affect plant growth and microbial activity. Slope, saturated hydraulic
conductivity (Ksat), depth to a water table, ponding, flooding, depth to bedrock or a
cemented pan, stones, and cobbles affect design and construction. Permanently
frozen soils are unsuitable for waste treatment.

Residuals Management Plan

Residuals Management Plan
Prepared by: J. Thurman Horne, P.E.
Horizon Engineering & Consulting, Inc.
Residuals Management Plan:
The proposed surface water discharge will have no impact on residuals management. There are no
wastewater treatment facilities.
The nature of the operation (backwashing of green sand filters) is such that only minor amounts of solids
(less than 30 mg/1) are released with the discharge.
There is no generation of any grits, sludges or residuals for removal or disposal.
This project does not increase or alter the amounts of sludge produced or impact the current methods of
disposition.

NPDES Permit Application
Proposed Water Well Backwash Discharge
Meadow Ridge Subdivision - Well System
Guilford County
Dear Ms. Fox:
Attached is a copy of an application for permit signed by Aqua North Carolina, Inc. This
application is for a permit for the proposed discharge of backwash from filters installed on a
potable well which serves the Meadow Ridge Subdivision, located outside Stokesdale off
Anthony Road. I have also attached a map to indicate the existing location.
As part of the application process, the state requires that we notify the local governments and ask
that they complete the attached form which indicates whether the local government has a zoning
or subdivision ordinance and whether the proposed discharge is consistent with that ordinance.
This is an existing groundwater well system that filters water through a series of filters before the
water is distributed to the Meadow Ridge community. The filters are "backwashed" with water
approximately once every two days and approximately 2,500 gallons of water is then discharged
in to the nearby stream.
Aqua North Carolina, Inc., operates numerous similar systems in North Carolina and we do not
expect any environmental concerns over this discharge, other than that the state requires that we
must apply for a permit and monitor the discharge in accordance with the permit.
We are trying to file this application as soon as possible. If you could complete, sign and return
this form, it will be very helpful.
We apologize for the necessity to ask for this assistance but I hope that you can appreciate our
dilemma. If you have any questions or if there is anything we need to discuss, please call me
(704-788-4455.)
