Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the.following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or Version 1110912011.1 NPDES Permit (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This met used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also "Composite Sample," above.) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit.

[15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(14)] Pass Through A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)] Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization. This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T .0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)] "Significant Industrial User" or "SIU" An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(33)1: 1.

Simplified Flow Diagram ENGINEERING REPORT Project Planning Location Ridge Haven is a summer Camp and Retreat that is located off the intersection of Frozen Creek Road and Old Toxaway Road in Transylvania County, North Carolina. The main camp site occupies the southeast third of lot 9375. The estimated area developed by the camp is 125 acres. The lot comprises 703 acres that are primarily wood with steep slope hills. Two tributaries to Toxaway Creek have their head waters in the property. Figure 1 shows the general location of the property and the streams. Environmental Resources Present Figure 2 shows the contour map. Elevation at the southern end of the developed property is at approximately 1950. This slopes up along the access road till it reaches an elevation of 2230 feet on the North site of the developed property. This rise of 280 feet is not unusual for this hilly area of Transylvania County. Most of the area is underlain by bedrock and the area is covered with second growth trees. The soil maps indicate that the surficial soil is Ashe-Edneville complex and has a depth of up to 30 inches. Underlying this is sapolite (weathered bedrock). Mean rainfall for the area is around 74 inches per year and with the shallow soil cover run off from rain events is quick and there is little retention is the soil layer. Stream rise during rain events is rapid and the return to normal flow levels is almost as fast. The shallow soil cover has little "sponge" effect to attenuate rainfall. This is particularly true for the "artificial rainfall" induced by a spray or drip irrigation system. Population Trends The camp has had increases in attendance since it was first constructed in the 1980's. However there has been little growth since then until the last few years. Last year the facility that was designed to feed 200 was feeding up to 500 campers, staff and guests. The response from the Camp community has been good and it is anticipated that additional cabins and facilities will be needed next year. This camp serves as a local retreat that is close by, but at the same time is isolated for the day to day cares and responsibilities. As such, the use of these facilities is growing. Unlike a "summer" camp, Ridge Haven has a Camp or Retreat every month of the year, in addition to the regular summer weeks of camp. Community Engagement Since this facility is not self-supporting, there are on occasion fund raising efforts to support capital improvements. The response to the current fund drive for the proposed treatment system and expansion of the camp facilities has been very good. Even without definitive plans the camp has raised almost all the funds needed for the wastewater treatment project. The director believes that as plans PAGE 5 the church community will provide the entire support necessary to complete the construction There has been considerable involvement of the local Health Department and the local regional office of DENR. During the previous year, the camp and the local authorities worked together to keep the camp within the operating parameters of the onsite septic system. This was accomplished through the use of one time use utensils. Existing Facilities Location Map Figure 1 as previously referred to in the Project Planning section, provides the location of the facility in Transylvania County. Figure 3 shows the layout of the area with the various living quarters and dining hall. Currently all the units are on septic systems and leach fields. The location of the existing septic tanks and leach fields are generally next to the building, however in 2006 new, remote fields were installed for the Shephards Hall and Robeson facilities. These facilities for Shephards Hall were designed for 200 campers/ 3 meals a day. History A majority of the housing units were constructed in the 1980s. They were installed with Septic Tanks and leach fields. Since they were used primarily during the summer seasons, there was a considerable rest period for the leach fields. As such, no major failures were reported. The summer of 2014 presented an extremely full schedule, such that approximately 500 people were being fed at the dining hall that had been designed to feed 200. Since the septic system was designed on water flow for 200, the State required that that to stay within the permit limits the quantity of water used feeding the 500 must be less than 3000 gallons per day. This was further backed up by the installation of a water meter to confirm the quantity of water entering the Shephards Hall building. As a result, paper plates and disposable utensils were used to keep the water use down. Condition of Existing Facilities The Financial Status of any Existing Facilities is solid, campers are applying in record numbers and the support of the church and local community has been strong. A fund raising campaign has been started and funds have been contributed and promised that will fund this expansion program. The Camp is currently debt free. In addition the Camp hasa' letter of credit in the amount of $200,000, with no balance against it. The move from a passive treatment system with subsurface disposal to an active treatment system with monitored discharges will be a major change in current operations. There has been much discussion with the Wilds Camp just up the road about the operations required for this change. The Wilds has been very helpful to discuss all the activities required and have offered help in the start up process. Inwuc nrwruv ENGINEERING REPORT Need for the Project , Health, Sanitation and Security I The current goal is to provide a facility at the camp that is able to serve a variety of healthful foods, with the highest level of sanitation so that the campers and staff are able to enjoy the camping experience without the concerns food and water borne illness. This ability to serve is being hampered by the lack of cleaning water due to the limitations of the disposal system. To that end the project will allow the freedom to use dishes and utensils freely for a variety of foods. These utensils can be washed, sterilized and reused. The end result is lower costs for paper goods, lower disposal costs and quantities, thus improving the camps financial position and decrease the waste load from the camp. Aging infrastructure The current septic system for the dining hall was constructed in 2006 and 2007. The anticipated life is at least 10 years with good maintenance. The issue is the number of campers has greatly exceeded the capacity of the system. There were new systems installed to service the Averett and Robeson halls as well as the Shepherd's Hall Cafeteria However there are other septic systems that are original to the camp structure that they service. These systems have survived due to the extended rest periods they receive between camp seasons. However, when these systems finally fail they will be added to the load on the proposed treatment system. Reasonable Growth When the septic systems were designed we used a growth rate of 35 % over the life. That as it turns out was not sufficient, as the growth rate as measured by people eating has grown from 147 in 2005 to over 500 in 2014. This extraordinary growth came as a result of using the existing facilities more effective and by a continuing demand from additional campers. Based on the current facilities, the camp is at about maximum capacity, however there is current plans to expand the facilities once the issues with the dining room have been solved. Therefore we have estimated an ultimate increase of 250 campers for a total to be fed at the dining hall of 750 campers per day. Alternatives Considered Description The first consideration is to increase the size of the septic system. For a septic system to serve 750 campers for dining only at 15 gallons each the design flow would be 11,250 gallons per day. This is at the upper limit of large quantity septic systems. The camp has been told that such a system would not be permitted in the mountainous region of western North Carolina. No further effort was made on this option. This was communicated from Mr. Jim Boyer of the local office of Transylvania County Health Department. Mr. Boyer has said that he will send a letter documenting this by the first week in June. The second consideration is the use of a facultative lagoon system. This would involved the use of a lined lagoon without any means of mechanical aeration. it would received screened sewage and be allowed to be held in the pond for about 30 days. The discharge from the pond would be disinfected PAGE % Fe e disinfection chemical (usually chlorine) would also have to be removed prior to discharge into a am. Given the significant surface area required for this type of storage. A facultative lagoon is shallow usually 3 feet deep. With the 11,250 gallons per day and 30 day holding time, the pond would be around 20,000 square feet of surface area. Disadvantages of this type of treatment are odors during the spring and fall "turn over" and the resultant vectors from the pond. In addition during the summer algae blooms would produce violations of the discharge permit. Finally is the difficulty of finding suitable terrain in the mountainous area of the camp site. The third option is the use of a pre -packaged treatment system. The system would be a steel tank with built in baffles to separate process areas. These systems use air blowers to provide oxygen to treat the waste and to provide pumping capacity via air lift pumps. These systems consist of a screening unit, followed by a equalization tank if required, then an aeration tank followed by a clarifier then a disinfection unit (usually a tablet chlorinator) followed by a chlorine removal system. This unit (without the equalization tank is normally mounted on a single steel tank. This tank can be either partially buried in the ground or fully exposed, depending on topography. The best part is that these tank systems can be delivered on a tractor trailer type truck. The come all pre -wired and pre -plumbed. The footprint of these units is 8-10 feet wide by up to 40 feet long and 8-10 feet high. Overall the unit will take up less than 500 square feet of surface area. Environmental Impacts The environment impacts with all systems is primarily during construction. During this time there is a considerable amount of noise from large earth moving equipment, and delivery of materials and equipment. In addition there are large sections of vegetation that is removed to excavate for trenches and provide a flat area for the treatment system or excavation for a buried system. During these times erosion and dust are the primary pollutants. After construction the disposal of the sludge and plant effluent are the primary issues with impacts. A third operating issue of disinfecting chemicals are greatly minimized by the use of a tablet chlorinator. Some systems use an Ultraviolet disinfection system, however for this operation we are recommending the use of a chlorine based system that will provide a direct means of measurement of concentration and hence its effectiveness. The Sludge disposal can be accomplished by discharging to a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) for a fee similar to septage disposal, disposed of on -site as a beneficial nutrient, or dewatered and disposed of in a landfill. The effluent from a treatment facility is usually disposed on in a stream after treatment. Other options of subsurface disposal and land application. All of these options require careful evaluation and permitting through the State. With disposal. into the stream the quality of the effluent is critical so as not to degrade the stream from Trout Status. Land Requirements The land requirements have been discussed underthe options class. Again Ridge Haven has a large tract of land, but the usefulness and accessibility is in question. Secondly, with the strong probability of increasing the size of the treatment plant as current septic systems fail, there will be a need for additional land adjacent to the treatment facility ENGINEERING REPORT Potential Construction Problems The biggest challenge to construction is the mountainous terrain and the ever present subsurface rock. Surficial soils and trees are easy to move with modern equipment. Steep slopes and rock would slow the construction process and increase the construction costs. A subsurface investigation of the proposed route of the force mains and the locations of treatment facilities would further define the routes and locations of faculties. Cost Estimates - There are costs to each of the alternatives that are common and some that are unique to each treatment scheme. We have provided a cost estimate for the Recommended Project only. Proposed Project (Recommend Alternafive) Preliminary Project Design The system will be rated to handle 750 campers and staff using a daily rate of 15 gallons per capita per day (GPCPD). This quantity is based on an Institutional quantity of 5 gallons per day per meal, and 3 meals per day. In addition the flow from the meeting room of 150 people at a rate of 5 GPCPD. The total daily flow being 12,000 gallons. Using a peaking factor of 2 the design flow for the treatment system is 24,000 gallons per day. The in uent is considered domestic waste with a nominal BOD of 240 mg/I. An oil and grease trap will be installed on the kitchen sewer to collect grease prior to entering the collection system. The anticipated discharge will be into Toxaway Creek and that the treated effluent standard discharge limit of 20 mg/I of BOD and 20 mg/I TSS will be acceptable. It is further assumed that the minimum concentration of dissolved oxygen will be 6 mg/I and that the effluent will be aerated prior to discharge to the receiving stream. The location of the discharge is shown on Figure 4. The receiving point on Toxaway Creek is North 35-05.820, W 82-51.549. The treatment plant will be an activated sludge, extended aeration system that will be pre -fabricated and pre plumbed off site and shipped to -the site with minimal effort required to install and make operational. The system will consist of a screening system, aeration system, clarifier and return sludge system as well as a sludge digestion system, effluent disinfection and chlorine removal system. A continuous flow monitoring system will be installed in line and provide for sampling in an intermittent basis. It is assumed that the influent to the treatment plant will be conveyed by gravity sewer and that the effluent will be conveyed by pump station and force main. Ultimate design of the system would account for the entire camp to be on the treatment plant and all the septic systems would be abandoned. The ultimate load for treatment would be 750 campers at 60 GPCPD or an average flow of 45,000 gallons per day. The anticipated in -place capacity to treat this sewage would be 90,000 gallons per day, including an equalization tank to modify the peak flows. Project Schedule The anticipated schedule for this project is as follows: PER submittal to State Week 0 PAGE 9 State Review and Approval of PER Week 6 thru 8 Site survey and subsurface investigation ( Concurrent with State Review of PER) Produce construction Plans and Specs Week 8 thru 20 Submit plans and Specs for Permit to Construct Week 20 thru 28 Construct Plant, and obtain permit to Operate Week 28 thru 60 Permit Requirements The permitting requirements include: approval of PER, Obtaining waste load allocation for stream discharge and preliminary NPDES permit limits, Permit to Construct, Permit to Operate. All these permits will be issued by the State of North Carolina. In addition, there will be building and construction permits issued by the County of Transylvania. In addition, the services of a qualified operator will have to be obtained before operations can begin. Total Project Cost Estimate The following is an estimate of the Capital Budget required to complete this project: Engineering, Design and Inspection Services + Survey $ 16 000 Treatment Plant 120,000 Sewer system, pump sta%tion, force main and aeration facility 154,000 TOTAL 290,000 Contingency (20%) 60,000 Total Project Estimate $350,000 The following is an estimate of the Operational Budget required to operate the treatment plant on and annual basis: Water Discharge Fee $ 650 Power S 980 Chemicals $ 1540 Sludge Haul and Dispose $ 6540 Staff & Administration $12,750 Maintenance & Replacement 3500 Total Annual Budget $26,000 ENGINEERING REPORT Conn . islons and R,ecommendations This is a major step of faith by the Camp to embark on this size of a project. The alternative though is to severely limit the number of campers that will be allowed to enjoy the camping experience. A well run treatment system will open up the current dining facility and allow large groups to be at the camp without the concerns of water usage or expense of disposable dishes. It would be advantageous to have a strong working relationship with the Wilds Camp just down the road. They operate several trains of extended aeration systems and would provide invaluable insight into operating and maintaining these systems. The next step is to obtain the design parameters for the system from the state and approval of this PER. During this time a concerted effort to obtain the necessary funds should be in full operation. Finally obtain the services of qualified contractors to install the system. - .. - : _ .ti, ,.,� .. — rt y _ _ N. n4 . �: =f - `+ r. 11 r - - — - .: I' - --- 1 !\i 6' ` :� ` - n `, �.
