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 Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also "Composite Sample," above.) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Smpling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DWR or "the Division" The Division of Water Resources, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Effluent Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source whether treated or untreated. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Version 1110912011.1 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge during that sampling period. Monthly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Resources. Quarterly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes their to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA. U stet Anincident beyond .the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1.

Definitions In addition to the definitions in Part II of this permit, the following definitions apply to municipal facilities: Indirect Discharge or Industrial User Any non -domestic source that discharges wastewater containing pollutants into a POTW regulated under section 307(b), (c) or (d) of the CWA. [40 CFR 403.3 (i) and 0) and 15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(11)] Interference Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H .0903 (b)(14)] Pass Through A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)] Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization. This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T .0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)] "Significant Industrial User" or "SIU" An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(33)]: 1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary, noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or 2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS and ammonia; or 3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or 4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options; 5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a Significant Industrial User (SIU); or 6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a non -significant categorical Industrial User. Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) Version 1110912011.1 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 15 of 18 All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]: 1. Any new introduction of pollutants into the POTW from an indirect discharger, regardless of the means of transport, which would be subject to section 301 or 306 of CWA if it were directly discharging those pollutants; and 2. Any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants being introduced by an indirect discharger as influent to that POTW at the time of issuance of the permit. 3. For purposes of this paragraph, adequate notice shall include information on (1) the quality and quantity of effluent introduced into the POTW, and (2) any anticipated impact that may result from the change of the quantity or quality of effluent to be discharged from the POTW. Section C. Municipal Control of Pollutants from Industrial Users. 1. Effluent limitations are listed in Part I of this permit. Other pollutants attributable to inputs from Industrial Users discharging to the POTW may be present in the Permittee's discharge.

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. B ass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Dav 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 Version 712009 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ 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. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DWO or "the Division" The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]' shall be considered = 1. Version 712009 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 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 CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. Monthly Average (concentration limitl The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration limitl The average of all 'samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA. j1set An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1. Duty to Comply The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the CWA and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application [40 CFR 122.41]. a.

Specific items include: 1. A Spill Response Plan 2. Sewer Collection System Operation and Maintenance Plan 3. Annual Performance Report These new requirements became effective on October 1, 1999. This report is designed to meet the minimum requirements for the Annual Performance Report established by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) as set forth in their guidance document dated October 19,1999. This law was established to provide a mechanism for public oversight, (and, hopefully, to instill public confidence), in owners and operators of wastewater treatment systems and in their efforts to protect the waters of the state. 1.

Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar ,year. In'the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. B ass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for. the facility. Calendar Dav The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24=hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Quarter - One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24.hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1 /24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected, over a 24hour 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 612012003 . NPDES Permit Requirements Page 2 of 16 In accordance with (4) above, influent 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 continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period .that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 1223) 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. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DM or "the Division' The Division of.Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. Facility Closure The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individualvalues. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection leveq'� 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 116pursuant 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 property damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the,absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. U set An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational. error, improperly. designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.

Enclosed you will find some revisions of specs and sheet 2 of 2, please substitute these for the earlier submitted items. I will respond to these comments in order of your letter. 1. The pumps are specified as being able to pump 30,000 gpd or more. The manufacturer is required to provide shop drawings to the engineer for approval prior to installation. All piping is specified as steel. Valves shall be gate or ball as normally supplied by the manufacturer. The chlorine contact chamber is specified as ste 6l plate. Enclosed please find the spec for the chlorinator/dechlorinator. The plant includes the flow equalization basin and the chlorine contact chamber, therefore the paint spec for the plant is inclusive. 6-3. The adjustable hose, like belts and other consumable parts are replaceable, available, and have not been questioned on any of the previous designs submitted to NCDEHNR. 4. Please note the guide brackets on the inside of the flow splitter box that allow for a slide gate to be installed by the operator to control flow to the plants. See detail sheet 2 of 2. 5. The nev/ flow equalization basin is replacing an existing lift station and is at such elevation that it would flow into the splitter box and into the aeration basins before it could overflow any upstream manholes as verified by a site visit. 6. This is not normally a requirement of NCDEHNR, but the expansion work is anticipated being done before camp begins operation and the plant is in a zero flow state. 7. The specifications unfortunately show a typo, please substitute the revised page. 8. This has not normally been required by NCDEHNR of a plant expansion in the past year, however, the operator of this plant regularly has excess sludge pumped out by a licensed contractor and is disposed of -from that company. 9. This is not a published requirement of NCDEHNR. The calculations are as follows: Mr. Jay B.

Typically; the drop d-iffusers will be 1-114" diameter The valve locations are as shown. 12. The existing plant is adequately covered with service gratitly and the manufacaure-r Or the new package unit shall provide shop drawings for the engu,eer to a,Dprove prior to installation. The adequacy of operator protection shall be determined at that'time. 13. The treatment area is not fenced and has been accessible since the carnp was started. 14. The enclosed revised sheet 2 of 2 shows new dimensions for the flour equalization basin. 15. These shall be field determined by the contractor and the -operator. Sufficient length of cable shall be provided to allow for.adjustment. 16. The specifications have been revised and are enclosed to reflect this addition. 17. No auxiliary power is re'quired since the water system is supported by wells and there are no elevated tanks. Therefore should the electrical power go out; both water and'sewer will stop. 18. The camp has not budgeted for this at this time and prefers to wait until the next budget. 19. The outfall to the creek is scheduled for repair work to be done in conjunction with the plant expansion. Also the outfall from the plant will be restructured to accommodate the chlorine contact chamber. We have no reason to believe that the bulk of the pipe is in disrepair, however check holes along the pipe can be made at the time of construction,' and replacement be made if needed as determined by the engineer of record. 20- Confirmed - 21.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION JET.-—-CHLQR TAP.L.ET"CH IL �ORNA MODELS 110.1-'12.; TOR -INSTALLATION AND OkRATION _ ... ... I. d Model 110 and 120 JET-CHLQR Tablet Chlorinators are com- plete chlorine dispensing systems. The Model 110 has a task" diameter inlet and the Model 120 is equipped with a blank inlet to allow field adaption to plant discharge lines up to 10" in diameter. They are designed to handle the flow of treated effluent from wastewater treatment plants with design flows of up to 50,000 gallons per day. For larger systems, two chlori- nators used in parallel can, treat up to 100,000 gallons per day. The JET Tablet Chlorlhator has no moving or electrical parts. It uses JET-CHLQR Disinfecting Tablets — not powders orgases. The JET Chlorinator works by gravity flow alone — chlorine dosage automatically adjusts with increases and decreases in effluent flow. HOW THE CHLORINATOR WORKS The JET-CHLOR Tablet Chlorinator consists of a housing, inlet baffle, outlet weir (three sizes to choose from) and four tablet feed tubes. The chlorinator is In- stalled on the plant's discharge line or on the chlorine contact chamber inlet so that plant dis- charge flows through it. An inlet baffle and feed tubes control the direction of flow within the corer C1 Q chlorinator. Tablet Peed Tubes Tube Support (snapvul• for Inspection) Outlet weir Plate Slow -dissolving JET-CHLOR Tablets at the bottom of the feed tubes are immersed in the efflu- ent. They dissolve evenly, slowly releasing active chlorine. The rate atwhich the tablets dissolve is regulated automatically by controlling the Ilquid height with weirs and by varying the amount of tablets in contact with the effluent. The outlet weir controls the liq- uid level inside the chlorinator housing. When the flow of efflu- ent increases, the liquid level in the housing rises, covering more tablets and releasing more chlo- rine. When the flow decreases, the liquid goes down. As a result, fewer chlorine tablets are immersed and less chlorine is released. In this way, the rate at ;which the chlorine tablets dis- solve is continuously adjusted to the effluent flow. INSTALLATION INLET CONNECTION - MODEL 110 Model 110 is equipped with a 634" diameter inlet for connection to treatment plants, sand filters, etc., with 6%" discharge lines. To make the connection, butt fit the discharge line to the chlorinator inlet using a flexible coupling (not supp Ie ) as I - lustrated In the mounting instructions below. The flexible coupling consists of a neoprene sleeve, a stainless steel shield, and hose clamps. These can be obtained from your local plumbing supply house. On installations where the discharge line is larger or smaller than the chlorinator inlet, use expansion or reducer couplings or the Model 120 phlorinator. INLET CONNECTION MODEL 120 Model 120 is equipped with a blank inlet side. Discharge lines up to 10" O.D. can be connected as follows: 1. Mark hole size to be out at center of blank chlorinator inlet wall using end of discharge line as template. 2. Using either saber or keyhole sl w, cut hole as marked. 3. Insert discharge line 1" into Ohl rrinatorand seal to chlorina- tor using either good waterproof grout, caulking compound or neoprene gasket -with stalr)less steel butt plate as illus- trated. If a gasket.and butt plate are used, the gasket must fit tightly to the pipe and be at least 1/4" thick. Use the pipe end as a template to draw the gasket outline. These items are not supplied but can be obtained from your local plumbing supply house. Cut Correct Kok In Inlet Saber saw. eo. Treatment Plant Disenat" Line iieoPiene Gasket as Steel Butt Mate MOUNTING The chlorinator housing can be installed either on the system's chlorine contact chamber or in -line using a drop -box (not sup- plied). If the chlorinator Is installed on the contact chamber, it should be at the inletor as close as possible to it. If it is installed in -line and a contact chamber is used, it should be installed before the contact chamber. If a,.contact chamber is not used, then the chlorinator must be installed with a drop -box. The following rules apply to both methods: 1. Chlorinator top must be accessible for easy removal of feed tubes from housing. 2. Secure housing with rigid mounting, bolting or ramsetting, to prevent. it from moving. 3. -Be sure -housing is level and plumb to insure proper operation. 4. Allow clearance at outlet end of chlorinator to prevent any interference with discharge and to allow reading of flow rate on calibrated weir. - The chlorinator can usually be mounted on the chlorine contact chamber. The housing can be mounted either above the tank or to its inside wall depending on the location of the inlet line. This method requires that the chlorinator be bolted to a bracket LEi.r=oRD ENG I HEER11IG 704 255 0770 P . 0 3 Mounflog Hofer, Till Die.

Drop -box drawings are available upon request, , OPERATION OPERATING VARIABLES Chlorine dosage depends upon the amount of treated effluent In contact with the JET-CHLOR Disinfecting Tablets in the chlori- nator. Fluid contact with the tablets is controlled by two factors: * The size of the outlet weir Installed. 0 The number of feed tubes filled with tablets. SELECTING WEiR SiZE AND NUMBER OF STOCKED FEED TUBES 1. Determine Chlorine Residual Requirements. The requirements for chlorine residuals vary in different areas. Contact yourlocal health department to determinethe requirements for your installation. in the absence of local regulations, 1 ppm is usually considered adequate. 2. Estimate Plant Flow Rate, On..new or existing installations, consult the architect, engi- neer, or health department for the estimated flow rate. The flow rate may also be determined by the following methods: 1) use a flow meter; 2) check previous flow rate or water meter records; 3) find lift station capacity (if the plant Is so equipped) and the number of pumping cycles per day. 3. Select Weir Size and Number of Feed Tubes. After determining the chlorine'reVidual "requir6rk8nts•and the plant flow rate, use the "Outlet Weir Selection Chart" to choose the correct weir size and number of feed tubes to stock. Use the chart as follows: A. Pick chlorine residual required in Column 1. B. Match it to flow rate In Column 2, C. Read across chart to Columns 3 and 4 for weir size and number of filled feed tubes required. The weir sizes and number of feed tubes in the shaded areas of the chart provide maximum control of residuals but also require more frequent feed tube filling, The use of the proper size weir and correct number of filled feed tubes -is essential to the system's efficiency. Lower residual chlorine indicates insufficient chlorina- tion. Higher residual than requl red wastes tablets, requires more frequent feed tube fillings and overchlorinates the effluent. - t INSTALLING THE OUTLET WEiR 1. The weir plate is calibrated in gallons -per -minute on one side and liters -per -minute on the other. The easy to read calibra- tions provide Instantaneous flow readings which are helpful in estimating daily plant flow. 2. Insert weir plate into slot at outlet end of chlorinator housing. Be sure calibrations which you want to use (English or metric) face toward outside oi`chlorinator. 3. Slide plate down until It is firmly pressed into slot bottom. 4. Caulk joint between plant and chlorinator housing to prevent leakage. All the water must pass through the weir foreffective operation. t^ 2- OUTLET WEIR PLATES I LE_- _iRD EHGIHEERIHG 704 0770 P.04 Chlorine Residual Requlredl •5 ppm .. 1.0 ppm 1.5 ppm 2.0 ppm 2 Flow Rate GPD X 1000 uptol0 10-20 '• 20.30 30-40 _ 40-50 10 30 40 so 10. 20 30 40 50 10 20 30 40 50 OUTLET -WEIR Weir . .Sire.

It should be minimal be ause of the smooth inside surface. Dirt can usually be flushed ut easily with a hose or by simply removing the weir plate. This pauses a surge of liquid through the chlorinator which carries ouj any accumulated solids. Recaulk the weir plate if removed. The feed tube support can be snapped out'for access to the bottom of the housing if necessary. After It Is_reinstalled, be certain the filled and unfilled tubes are replaced.'in the proper position, REFILLING THE FEED TUBES;':.';.:; . . CAUTION: Read the "Filling Feed Tubes'=section and -the . "Danger" notice that follows It before-refitting..thie feed ' tubes. Always wear goggles or face shield•'anC ubber gloves when handling JET-CHLOR Tablets or working with the chlorinator. - Restocking of the feed tubes should be done on a schedule based on the "Estimated Operating Weeks Before Refill." This information is given in Column 5 of the "Outlet Weir Selection Chart." To refill, take off the chlorinator top and remove only those tubes which were• previously filled. Leave the empty tubes, with the slotted ends up, in the chlorinator housing. Fill thetubes and reinstall according to the instructions in "installing Feed Tithes." Additional homes, businesses or other new wastewater sources connected to sys- tem have caused an increase in the average daily flow. If less than 2 PPM chlorine residual is required, no ad- justment is necessary. If 2 PPM chlorine residual is re- quired and average dally flow rate exceeds 10,000 gallons per day, see "Outlet Weir Selection Chart" for weir size and number of fil- led tubes for new flow rate. Overchlorination When the amount of chlorine residual is excessiverjf�l,because too much chlorine is being added to the wastewater:' Before increasing weir size or decreasing the number of filled feed tubes, check chlorinator for blockage. Any clogging of the weir, will cause a rise in the liquid level and immerse too many tablets. If blockage is found, remove immediately. Check Chlorine Residual It the we! rsize or numberof filled feed tubes is changed, test the chlorine residual again following the procedure described in "Starting Up the Chlorinator." r •r..-- - SUPPLIES-& OPTIONAL ITEMS The following items cdn be ordered from JET-CHLOR Dealers.

The existing outfall line has deteriorated, has stopped up from time to time, and is insufficient to prevent infiltration and leakage. It should be replaced to allow representative.sampling at the outfall point. A chlorine limit will be in effect upon plant expansion, which will make it more important to enable sampling at the outfall to take .advantage of mixing in the outfall pipe. I will try to get Lucy to send this E-mail since it is so long, so you will not have to transfer every comment manually to your letter.

Purpose of Proposal The purpose of this Engineering Proposal is to review and evaluate the various wastewater disposal alternatives available for expansion of Camp Judaea. As required by the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources this proposal outlines both the environmental and economical aspects of connecting to an existing sewerage system, subsurface disposal, spray irrigation, and expansion of an existing wastewater treatment plant. B. Description of Project Area Camp Judaea is located off Highway 64 approximately four miles east of the intersection with Interstate 26 in Henderson County, North Carolina. C. Existing Improvements and Wastewater Facilities Camp Judaea is comprised of approximately 118 acres of which there exists several cabins, administration buildings, recreational facilities, and maintenance buildings. All but two cabins currently utilize an existing 15,000 gpd treatment plant. The existing treatment plant consists of a lift station and a 15,000 gpd extended aeration package unit. Treated effluent is discharged into Henderson Creek. D. Camp Expansion Plans Expansion plans indicate that new cabins to accomodate over 50 additional people will be built. In addition the septic tank systems for the two above mentioned cabins have failed and it is planned to incorporate the wastewater from these cabins into that from the new cabins. By increasing accomodations it is anticipated that 500 people per day will be utilizing the camp. II. WASTEWATER FACILITY DESIGN A. Flow Criteria and Anticipated Flows In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0219, design of new facilities shall use 60 gpd per person. In the case of future development at Camp Judaea it is therefore 9 anticipated that approximately 250 more campers can be accomodated thereby creating a requirement to treat an additional 15,000 gpd. B. Connecting to an Existing POTti The nearest publically owned sewerage system is approximately 4 miles away. Given the distance and obvious extraneous construction constraints this alternative will not be considered any further. v 2 C. Subsurface Disposal • he SCS soil mapping and 10 NCAC 10A .1900, Based on t pp g Z� calculations indicate that a conventional drainfield would require approximately 6.9 acres. This system would consist of approximately 12,500 linear feet of 4-inch drains and would have to be split into 4 individually dosed fields. The fields could be paired with common manifolds while being dosed by a lift station. The septic tank or tanks would have to equal 15,000 gallons in volume. D. Spray Irrigation Based on 15A ?CAC 2H .0200, calculations indicate that a spray irrigation system within the property's boundary would require approximately 5.5 acres. This system would consist of modifications to the existing treatment plant and the addition of new components. Modifications would include a 7,500 gallon aerated flow equilizaton facility at the head of the plant, addition of a 15,000 gpd package extended aeration unit, and installation of a chlorine contact chamber. Other components would include a standby power source, fencing, construction of a 450,000 gallon irrigation pond with pumping equipment and irrgation system piping and fittings. Since the facility would include a restricted spray field and plant works, State personnel have indicated that a secondary effluent could be applied directly and that a five day holding pond would not be required. E. Existing LWTP Expansion To accomodate an addition of 15,000 gpd at the existing plant site the following modifications and equipment would be required. 3 Install a new 15,000 gpd extended aeration package unit Install a chlorine contact chamber Install sludge holding facility Install a triplex blower motor assembly A flow splitter box would also have to be installed between the existing pump station and the two 15,000 gpd package units and yard piping from both units would have be connected to the chlorine contact chamber. III. ENVIRONMENTAL• and ECONOMICAL EVALUATION of ALTERNATIVE DESIGNS A. Subsurface Disposal System Advantages: - Eliminates direct discharge - Capable of high levels of treatment of most pollutants associated with domestic wastewater - Fate of pollutants such as trace organics and viruses is poorly documented, however, no significant health problems have been created due to failure. - Existing soils are clayey, therefore, heavy metals and toxic organics such as solvents, paint thinners, greas removers, toilet bowl cleaners, etc. are expected to receive more treatment than granular soils. However, limited data suggests contamination of groundwater can occur. Disadvantages: - Steep slopes and clayey soils classify the area as provisionally suitable for use as septic drainfields. - High possibility of lower drain lines being overstressed from higher lines thereby accelerating failure. - Extremely high in cost since site is steeply sloped. - Since soil is the system it will be difficult to predict and monitor. If failure occurs significant environmental damage or health risks can result. Failures result in ponding on surface and runoff from site. Inadequate treatment by soil matrix could contaminate groundwater. - Out of sight, out of mind. Refer to attached opinions of probable cost for conventional subsurface wastewater disposal systems. 4 B. Spray Irrigation System Advantages: - Eliminates direct discharge - Additional means of irrigation water during dry periods - Capable of high levels of treatment of most pollutants even at higher pollutant levels leaving plant Disadvantages: - Excessive slopes increase amount of runoff and erosion which may lead to unstable soil conditions when saturated thereby making vegetative growth difficult. - Flood prone areas are unsuitable due to highly variable drainage characteristics of associated soils. Shallow groundwater areas are less desirable because of interference with vegetative growth. - Higher cost due to additional pumping equipment and construction of irrigation improvements. - Spraying and subsequent detention dependent upon weather. Refer to attached opinion of probable cost for a spray irrigation wastewater disposal system. C. Existing Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion Advantages: - Does not require large valuable land areas. - Capable of high levels of treatment for pollutants associated with domestic wastewater. - Treatment more predictable and easier to monitor and adjust. - Current effluent from existing plant has a range of 0.2 mg/1 to 5.9 mg,/l for BOD and 0.1 mg/l to 1+.0 mg/1 for TSS which is well below the required 30/30 limit. - Lowest cost. Disadvantages: - Does not eliminate direct discharge.

Recommendations and Conclusions After examining the advantages and disadvantages of the various wastewater disposal methods available to Camp Judaea, expansion of the existing treatment plant becomes the most desirable alternative both environmentally and economically. Based on the fact that the plant has been properly operated the past few years, as substantiated by public records, expansion of the existing treatment plant would continue this daily monitoring and observation as opposed to the operation of a subsurface disposal system. The results of treatment could therefore be seen. The only area that can realistically be considered for subsurface disposal is provisionally suitable at best and could fail prior to its estimated useful life. Economically, it is obvious that expansion of the existing treatment plant is the lowest cost alternative. The other disposal alternatives are very costly especially with regard to the additional costs of distributing the treated effluent. ---AMPFIL7C-(R — F FO M DEG/0 LrC,, TEc? fteSe� G!/or44A CPFe)a' k 6 11 S,odv �, 360 1 S5, 360 Tr��ArPi �.iOT�AY� I.�IIA AMA Ia tX I tNUtU ALKA I IUN VKUL;tbb The contractor will furnish one (1) prefabricated sewage treatment plant and related equipment in accordance with the plans and specifications stated herein.

Please note that the 6.9 acres includes repair area. The original system would most likely consist of four individual fields each having ten rows of 320 linear feet of perforated corrugated plastic drain tile. Each 320 foot line would also be split in half following NCDEHNR guidelines. Including minimum buffers, each of the four fields would have approximate dimensions of 360'x 100'. 2. A low pressure system drainfield would.require approximately 4 acres. This system would consist of approximately 12,000 linear feet of 2-inch drains and would have to be split into four individually dosed fields.. The construction cost estimate for this alternative would be as follows: Item Description Present Cost 1. Flow division facility $2,000.00 2. Septic Tankage, 15,000 gal 19,500.00 3. Dosing Facility, manifold, piping 62,250.00 4. Drainfields, 12,000 LF 84,000.00 5. Seeding, 16,000 SY 6,500.00 6. Clearing, 1 AC 5,060.00 Subtotal Const. Cost P $179,250.00 10% Contingencies $17,900.00 Total Const. Cost $197,150.00 Mr. Paul White December 10, 1992 page 2 3. Attached please find a copy of an estimate for a precast concrete septic tank. Please note that given recent OSHA regulations and the fact a crane would be required, $5,000.00 is a reasonable expected installation fee. 4. After further review with the camp's current contract operator the adjusted anticipated present cost operating expense, excluding electrical cost, would be approximately $16,140.00. This expense is based on a monthly inspection and preventative maintenance visit to the facility. SPRAY IRRIGATION 1. No design requirements for non-public access areas are addressed in 15 NCAC 2H .0200 so we based our work on those requirements for public access areas. With regard to your comment, it appears that flow equalization and the generator could be deleted thusly making the total construction cost estimate $140,470.00. 2. Under item 6, in our estimate, please note the following breakdown: 42 spray head assemblies @ $100 each or $4,200.00 3,000 LF 3-inch pressure line @ $5.00 per linear foot or $15,000.00 7 control valves @ $85 each or $600.00 7 station control monitor @ $1,500 or $1,500.00 1,800 LF 4-inch pressure line @ $5.50 per linear foot or $9,900.00 Item 6 total $31,200.00 3. After further discussion with the current operator, an addition of $150 per month to the current contract would not be unreasonable to also operate a spray irrigation system, thusly increasing the present operating cost by $24,220.00. WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT EXTENSION 1. A dechlorination facility for this plant would consist of a tablet feed system at the plant's outfall. The approximate cost of this facility would be an additional $850.00. 2. Flow equalization would help protect the plant for a spray irrigation system as well. However in that alternative the comments inferred such a facility could be deleted. Flow equalization (aerated) would assist in proper operation of Mr. Paul White December 10, 1992 page 3 the plant and if required by NCDEHNR would add approximately $12,500.00 to the construction cost estimate. 3. After further discussions with the current operator, an addition of $330 per month would not be unreasonable to the current contract thusly increasing the present operating cost by $53,270.00. 4. A sand filter system would consist of 15,000 gallons of septic tankage, a dosing facility, a 5,000 square foot recirculating sand filter, and a chlorination/dechlorination facility. The cost estimate for this alternative would be as follows: Item Description Present Cost 1. Septic Tankage, 15;000 gal $19,500.00 2. Dosing Facility 15,000.00 3. Sand Filter 54,220.00 4. Flow Splitter 2,000.00 5. Chlor./Dechlor. Facility 3,850.00 6. Yard Piping 5,000.00 7. Sitework 5,000.00 Subtotal Const. Cost Contingencies @ 10% $104,570.00 10,460.00 Total Const. Cost $115,030.00 Discussions with the current operator indicate the addition of a sand filter would increase their operations by $250 per month resulting in an additional present operating cost of $40,360.00. We hope this additional information will assist in your review of the subject project and in the meantime should you have any questions or need additional information please let us know.

Westall Water Quality Regi n pervisor JIB � FROM: Paul R. White, P. E.� l Environmental Engineer SUBJECT: Permit modification request - expansion Camp Judea NPDES Permit Number NCO033430 Henderson County Ann B. Orr Regional Manager to 0.030 mgd Additional information is needed prior to a recommendation being made from the Asheville Regional Office concerning modifying the Camp Judea permit to double the flow limit to 0.030 mgd. The comparison of alternatives was made on the basis of an additional 0.015 mgd treatment capacity as opposed to evaluating alternatives for the total 0.030 mgd flow. It is reasonable that unit costs would be lower considering the larger capacity and this might affect the analysis. Also, with the non -discharging options, there would be, some cost savings due to the avoidance of maintaining the discharge permit. In the case of a subsurface system, operational costs associated with an activated sludge plant and the salvage value of the existing system should be considered. The following comments and requests are made concerning the economic analysis of the alternatives: Interchange Building, 59 Woodfin Place, Asheville, N.C. 28801 • Telephone 704251-6208 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Jule Shanklin Memorandum November 20, 1992 Page Two SUBSURFACE DISPOSAL 1. Based on an area required of 6.9 acres and a length of drains of 12,500 feet, this computes to an average spacing of about 24 feet. This seems to be excessive, even accounting for the additional space required for distribution boxes and manifolds. 2. A low pressure pipe system should be evaluated. This would decrease the cost of the drain field installation, clearing, and seeding. 3. Please provide justification for the $19,500 cost for the 15,OOO.gallon septic tank. 4. The basis for the operating expenses for the subsurface system should be given. The operating expenses for the subsurface system would be expected to be less than for an activated sludge plant. SPRAY IRRIGATION 1. The need for the aerated flow equalization facility and standby generator should be justified. If the spray irrigation field would be fenced from public access, the required degree of treatment and reliability would be less for spray irrigation than for direct discharge. 2. Unit prices and quantities should be given where possible to better evaluate the basis of the cost estimate. 3. The basis for the operating expenses should be given. WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION 1. Indications are that when the discharge permit is renewed or modified, additional effluent limitations of fecal coliform, chlorine, and ammonia nitrogen will be added. Chlorination was addressed in the estimate and ammonia nitrogen is not expected to be a problem with extended aeration, however, dechlorination facilities should be included in the cost estimate.: 2. Equalization of flow should be included in order to protect the activated sludge plant from hydraulic surges. 3. The basis for the operating expenses'should be given. This should include operations, monitoring, and analyses which are expected to be required by the permit. Upon modification, the P Jule Shanklin Memorandum November 20, 1992 Page Three classification of the activated sludge facility is expected to go to a Class II, which will require daily visits by the operator in responsible charge. 4. A septic tank and surface sand filter should be evaluated as an alternative. Serious consideration should be given to this type of treatment if a discharging system is selected due to the simplicity of operation and the decreased tendency toward upsets due to fluctuating hydraulic loads. In addition, this would avoid the necessity for seeding an activated sludge plant and the associated problems with operation during this start-up period. If you would like to discuss this in more detail, please give me a call. xc: Mark Ledford, P. E. FILECOPY r Michael F. Easley,Governor �oF WAT�9P William G.
