IV. GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION:
1. Brief project description: Deerbome Cottages is a proposed development consisting of 25 rental cabins, an office, and a 3-
bedroom mobile home. The office and mobile home will be served by septic systems permitted through Buncombe County,
NC Health Department. The cabins will range from 1-2 bedrooms and be the only structures served by the proposed
wastewater irrigation system.. The design flow for the 25 cabins has been calculated as 5,000 gpd. Septic tanks (1,000 gal)
will remove solids at each of the cabins. Septic tank effluent will flow by gravity through a 6 inches effluent collection
system into an additional 3,000 gallon Septic/ Surge tank located at the EZ-Treat WWTF. The EZ-Treat WWTF consists of
9,000 gallons of recirculation tankage with duplex pumps dosing eight (8) polystyrene filter media pods. A turbidity meter
and U.V. disinfection are included in the design. Filtrate eventually flows into the drip dose tank which doses the irrigation
fields. A rain gauge and wet weather storage pond prevents irrigation during a rain event.
2. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2T .0506, provide the minimum distance in feet from the facility's irrigation system and
treatment/storage units to each parameter (distances greater than 500 feet may be left blank):

Application:
1. Application Item IV(1) states that the office and 3-bedroom mobile home will be served by the onsite
septic system permitted by Buncombe County. During the site visit it was clearly seen that the area
planned for the wastewater treatment system would impact the existing septic system. Should the
Applicant want to include the office and 3-bedroom mobile home in the non -discharge wastewater
treatment and drip irrigation system, revise the application, plans, calculations, water balance, and
agronomic calculations to account for the increased flow.
The applicant has decided to include the 3-bedroom mobile home in this wastewater irrigation system
and the design flow has been increased to 5,360 gallons per day. The application, plans, calculations,
water balance, and agronomic calculations have been revised to account for the increased flow.
2. Review of Application Item IV(3) and the plans indicates the wet weather storage pond will only
have signage warning the public not to enter, however, Item VI(5) states the wet weather storage
pond will use a synthetic liner. Therefore, in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0505(q), the wet
weather storage pond shall have a physical barrier prohibiting public access.
The pond liner has been changed from a synthetic liner to a natural clay liner. Application Item VI(5)
has been changed to indicate the use of a clay liner. The applicant still intends to use signs to warn the
public not to enter. A fence has also been specified on Sheet NU-6 of the plans and the detail is shown on
Sheet NU-7 to prevent unauthorized access to the pond.
3. During the site visit, there was a discussion about whether locked wastewater treatment components
and a visual vegetative screen could be used as a replacement for a fence surrounding the wastewater
treatment system. Should a decision be made to change the means of controlling access to the
wastewater treatment system, revise Application Item IV(3) and all applicable plan sheets and
specifications.
Application Item IV(3) has been revised to read that all wastewater treatment components and riser lids
shall be locked and/ or bolted down so that tools must be used to access them. This has also been added
to the plans as Note 6 on Sheet NU-3. A visual vegetative screen will surround the wastewater treatment
system.
4. Amend Item IV(2) to state that the Applicant is complying with 15A NCAC 02T .0506(c).
Application Item IV(2) has been revised to state that the Applicant is complying with 15A NCAC 02T
.0506(c)
5. Amend Application Item VI(5) to state that the finished grade elevation is 1932 feet, and please
correct the total volume and effective volume provided values. The provided volumes are reversed.
Application Item VI(5) has been amended to state the finished grade elevation is 1998 feet. The pond was
moved to another location so the floor elevation has changed. The total volume and effective volume
have also been changed. The pond revisions can be found on Sheets NU-6 and Nu-7 of the engineering
plans.
6. Amend the following Application Items to include the appropriate Specifications package references
for the cited parameters:
a. Item VI(5) — The liner installation and testing requirements.

Page 3
The pond liner has been changed from a synthetic liner to a natural clay liner. Specifications for the clay
liner can be found in Section 2.4.3 on page 13.
b. Item VII(3) — The audible/visual alarms and precipitation sensor.
The specifications for the audible/ visual alarms can be found in Section 2.5.6 on pagel6. The
specifications for the precipitation sensor can be found in Section 2.4.3 on page 12.
c. Item VII(10)(b) — The appropriate drip irrigation design elements.
The specifications for the drip line can be found in Section 2.6.7 on page 21.
If these required items are not currently included in the Specifications, please amend as necessary.
These items were already in the specifications, but the correct reference has been added to the
application.
7. The irrigation areas provided in Item VII(10)(b) are significantly different than the areas provided in
the water balance, agronomist report, plans and engineering calculations. Item VII(10)(b) lists the
total irrigation area as 178,997 ft; the water balance and agronomist report state the total irrigation
area as 125,017 ft2; and the plans and engineering calculations show a total irrigation area of 133,084
ft2. Please amend the appropriate documents such that all of the proposed irrigation areas are
consistent.
Application Item VII(10) (b) has been revised to show a total irrigation area of 133, 084 ftl This is the
correct irrigation area. The agronomist report has also been revised to utilize an irrigation area of
133, 084 ft2. These are now consistent with the engineering plans and calculations.
Water Balance:
1. See Application Questions # 1 and #7, and recalculate the water balance as necessary.
The water balance has been recalculated based on adding the additional flow from the 3-bedroom mobile
home and also taking into consideration the recommendations shown in item 2 below. Please see the
revised water balance found in the enclosed soils report. Specifically, the water balance has been revised
to utilize a design flow of 5,360 gallons per day, an 80th percentile precipitation rate of 53.62 inches per
year, as well as considering the precipitation onto and the evaporation from the pond using the criteria
discussed below.
2. Please note for future reference that the submitted water balance was overly conservative. The
following items were noted:
a. When calculating the potential evapotranspiration (PET) using the Thornthwaite Method, the
Division recommends using the proposed facility's latitude to the exact decimal degree.
b. The sum of the monthly 80th percentile precipitation rates does not equal the annual 80th
percentile precipitation rate. The sum of the monthly rates is 67.28 in/yr, however, the actual
annual 80percentile precipitation rate is 53.62 in/yr. Therefore, the submitted water balance
included an additional 13.66 in/yr that is unnecessary. The Division recommends that once the
annual 80th percentile precipitation rate is determined, the monthly 80th percentile precipitation
rates be calculated using the following formula:
Monthly Prgoth = Monthly Prang [Annual Pr$oth
Annual Pravg

Page 4
c. In addition to including precipitation into open -atmosphere storage structures, the Applicant may
also include evaporation from these units. The monthly evaporation value is determined by
timing the monthly pan evaporation data by 0.7 and then dividing by the wet weather ponds
surface area. Pan evaporation data for select sites in North Carolina may be downloaded from:
http://www.dnr.sc.gov/climate/sco/Publications/pan_evap_records.php.
Agronomist Evaluation:
1. See Application Questions #1 and #5, and recalculate the nutrient balances as necessary.
The nutrient balance has been revised to include the 3-bedroom mobile home in the design flow. The
nutrient balance utilizes an effluent concentration of 4 mg/l ammonia, 14, mg/l nitrate, and 1 mg/l nitrite.
These effluent limits are consistent with effluent limits in the application and engineering calculations.
The results show that the site is not nutrient limited with respect to nitrogen.
Detailed Plans:
> General
1. Per Application Instruction N, provide two (2) sets of 11 by 17-inch plans.
Two (2) sets of 11 by 17-inch plans have been included.
2. Please verify that Deerborne Lane is not a State Road. Also, how will the lines to and from the
wet weather storage pond cross Deerborne Lane? Please provide a cross -sectional detail for any
of the proposed crossings within the development.
Deerborne Lane is not a State Road per North Carolina Department of Transportation State Road Map
for Buncombe County. This road is a dirt road. A copy of a portion of the NCDOT State Road Map in
question is provided as Attachment B. Shepherd Branch Road Extension (NCSR 1840) is shown on the
map, but Deerborne Lane is not.
3. Amend the plans to show where the drip irrigation field return line re-enters the wastewater
treatment plant.
Sheet NU-3 has been amended to more clearly show that the return line from the wet weather pond
returns to the drip dose tank The schematic on Sheet NU-2 shows that the return line from the wet
weather pond returns to the drip field dose tank also.
> Plan Sheet NU-1
1. See Application Question #5, and amend Irrigation Note #3 and the irrigation area table as
necessary.
Note 3 and the Irrigation Area Table have been revised to include the adjusted design flow and increased
loading rate.
2. Revise the Revisions/Submissions block to state "DWQ Permit Submittal", not "DEH Permit
Submittal".
The Revisions/Submissions block has been revised to state "DWQ Permit Submittal ".

Page 5
➢ Plan Sheet NU-2
1. Amend the Wastewater Process Schematic Flow Diagram to state that 25 individual septic tanks
are proposed, and that the 9,000 gallon recirculation tankage consists of three (3) 3,000 gallon
interconnected tanks.
Engineer 's Notes have been added to Sheet NU-2 discussing the tankage requirements.
➢ Plan Sheet NU-3
1. Amend Treatment System Note #5 to state "The effluent return lines from two (2) pods have

the note to reference Detail 3 on Sheet NU-5.
Keynote #9 has been amended to require a 50 gallon per minute UV Disinfection unit. The note has been
amended to reference Detail 3 on Sheet NU-5.
➢ Plan Sheet NU-4
1. The referenced plan sheet numbers for Details 1 and 2 are incorrect. They should read NU-4, not
NU-5.
The Plan Sheet numbers in the bubbles have been changed to reference the plan sheet where the detail is
first referenced. Details 1 and 2 and been changed to NU-3 and NU-1 respectively.
2. Amend the 3,000 gallon surge tank profile view (Detail 1) to include a note about the
Denitrification Inlet, and to include the specified effluent filter.
Detail 1 has been amended to show the 4 inch inlet from the denitrification return line and the 6 inch
collection system influent line. Most tanks this size have 6" standard side knockouts. The effluent filter
has been specified to be a Zabel A300-12x36-VC.
3. Amend the 1,000 gallon septic tank profile view (Detail 2) to include the required effluent filter
and baffle, as well as remove the side -wall inlet.
Detail 2 has been amended to show the effluent filter and baffle. The effluent filter has been specified to
be a Zabel A1800-4x18-30142-68.

Page 6
4. The plan view of the recirculation tanks has an incorrect detail reference (1 / D-107). Please
amend. In addition, amend the plan view to include the clean -out upstream of the first
recirculation tank, and correct the "See NU-16 for continuation" reference. Plan Sheet NU-16 is
of a drip irrigation field, not the upstream surge tank.
The incorrect detail reference has been removed. The clean -out upstream of the first recirculation tank
has been added. The "See NU-16 for continuation" reference has been changed to "From Surge Tank".
➢ Plan Sheet NU-6
1. Amend Plan Sheet NU-6 to include the required restrictive public access measures mentioned in
Application Question #2 above.
Plan Sheet NU-6 has been revised to spec fy a wooden security or chain link fence around the pond. The
detail for the fence can be found on Sheet NU-7.
> Plan Sheet NU-7
1. The details on this sheet reference the wrong plan sheet. Please change the detail naming from
NU-6 to NU-7.
The sheet number in the bubble is meant to be a cross reference to the plan sheet that first referenced the
detail. The detail numbers are correct because the first sheet where the details were referenced was NU-
6.
2. The pond outlet detail (Detail 1 / NU-7) and pond outlet structure detail (Detail 2 / NU-7)
reference the wrong drainage orifice detail. Amend both details to reference Detail 4 / NU-7.
Both details have been changed to reference Detail 4 Sheet NU-7.
> Plan Sheet NU-20
1. Please amend each detail on this sheet to reference plan sheet NU-20 (e.g., 1 / NU-20).
The Plan Sheet numbers in the bubbles are meant to reference the plan sheet where the detail is first seen.
Detail 1 (Drip Dose Tank) was changed to reference Sheet NU-3.
2. Amend the Remote Zone Valve Assembly Box detail (Detail 7 / NU-20) to state "Pressure
regulator see sheets NU-11 to NU-19 for specific pressure rating".
The note in this detail has been changed as suggested.
Site Map:
1. Per Application Instruction 0, provide four (4) standard size stand alone (i.e., separate from the plan
set) copies and two (2) 11 by 17-inch stand alone copies of the site map.
The additional copies are enclosed as requested.
2. Amend the site map to include a table that states which drip zones allow irrigation of wastewater
effluent that does not meet the reclaimed water standards requirement referenced in 15A NCAC 02T
.0506(c).

Page 7
A note has been added to the site map stating that Zones 3, 5, 7, and 8 are within 50 ft of a property line
and that they shall be eliminated from the irrigation schedule if a turbidity meter reading of 10 N. T. U or
greater is encountered.
3. There are a least 5 residences within 500 feet of the wastewater treatment and irrigation areas that do
not show the location of a well. Please confirm that these residences do not have wells. If any wells
are located within 500-feet of the wastewater treatment and irrigation areas, they shall be shown on
the site map.
Six additional wells within 500 feet of the wastewater treatment and irrigation areas were located. The
Site Map has been modified to show these wells.
Specifications:
1. Submit one (1) set of specifications that does not include engineering calculations or cut sheets.
Please update the table of contents for this set, and ensure the package has been signed, sealed and
dated by a licensed North Carolina Professional Engineer.
The specifications have been revised and the cut -sheets and calculations have been separated from the
specifications. Both documents have been signed and sealed by the engineer.
2. Section 2.3.1 on page 7 references six (6) EZ TreatTM pods. Please modify to read eight (8) EZ
TreatTM fixed media filter pods.
This change has been made as noted.
3. Section 2.3.1 on page 8 says that four of the twelve pods have been plumbed for denitrification.
Amend to state that two (2) of the eight (8) pods are plumbed to return flow to the surge tank for
increased denitrification.
This change has been made as noted.
4. Section 2.3.3 on page 10 states there will be one recirculation pump. Per 15A NCAC 02T .0505(k),
amend this plan sheet to require at least two (2) recirculation pumps.
This change has been made as noted.
5. Section 2.4.1 on page 11 states the proposed UV Disinfection system is rated at 20 GPM, however,
the plans state 50 GPM. Please correct.
The specifications have been changed to note the 50 GPM disinfection unit.

IV. GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION:
1. Brief project description: Deerborne Cottages is a proposed development consisting of 25 rental cabins, an office, and a 3-
bedroom mobile home. The office will be served by a septic system permitted through Buncombe County, NC Health
Department. The cabins and the mobile home will be served by this wastewater irrigation system. The cabins will range from
1-2 bedrooms. The design flow for the 25 cabins and 3 bedroom mobile home has been calculated as 5,360 gpd. Septic
tanks (1,000 gal) will remove solids at each of the cabins and at the mobile home. Septic tank effluent will flow by gravity
through a 6 inch effluent collection system into an additional 3,000 gallon Septic/ Surge tank located at the EZ-Treat WWTF.
The EZ-Treat WWTF consists of 9,000 gallons of recirculation tankage with duplex pumps dosing eight (8) polystyrene
filter media pods. A turbidity meter and U.V. disinfection are included in the design. Filtrate eventually flows into the drip
dose tank which doses the irrigation fields. A rain gauge and wet weather storage pond prevent irrigation during a rain event.
2. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2T .0506, provide the minimum distance in feet from the facility's irrigation system and
treatment/storage units to each parameter (distances greater than 500 feet may be left blank):

Notes:
1. Upon submittal of the additional information prior to the close of business on Thursday, April 2nd,
please submit a check made payable to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the
amount of $1,253. Failure to provide this check by 5:00 pm on April 2nd shall result in the immediate
return of the applicatio' package. Failure to provide all requested additional information items shall
result in an automatic additional information request and associated fee.
2. When providing additional information responses to the Division, please provide a response letter
addressing each comment and provide a reference as to the location of the requested information in
the updated application package.
Application:
1. Application Item IV(1) states that the office and 3-bedroom mobile home will be served by the onsite
septic system permitted by Buncombe County. During the site visit it was clearly seen that the area
planned for the wastewater treatment system would impact the existing septic system. Should the
Applicant want to include the office and 3-bedroom mobile home in the non -discharge wastewater
treatment and drip irrigation system, revise the application, plans, calculations, water balance, and
agronomic calculations to account for the increased flow.
2. Review of Application Item IV(3) and the plans indicates the wet weather storage pond will only
have signage warning the public not to enter, however, Item VI(5) states the wet weatherstorage
pond will use a synthetic liner. Therefore, in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0505(q), the wet
weather storage pond shall have a physical barrier prohibiting public access.
3. During the site visit, there was a discussion about whether locked wastewater treatment components
and a visual vegetative screen could be used as a replacement for a fence surrounding the wastewater
treatment system. Should a decision be made to change the means of controlling access to the
wastewater treatment system, revise Application Item IV(3) and all applicable plan sheets and
specifications.
4. Amend Item IV(2) to state that the Applicant is complying with 15A NCAC 02T .0506(c).
5. Amend Application Item VI(5) to state that the finished grade elevation is 1932 feet, and please
correct the total volume and effective volume provided values. The provided volumes are reversed.
6. Amend the following Application Items to include the appropriate Specifications package references
for the cited parameters:
a. Item VI(5) — The liner installation and testing requirements.
b. Item VII(3) — The audible/visual alarms and precipitation sensor.
c. Item VII(10)(b) — The appropriate drip irrigation design elements.
If these required items are not currently included in the Specifications, please amend as necessary.
7. The irrigation areas provided in Item VII(10)(b) are significantly different than the areas provided in
the water balance, agronomist report, plans and engineering calculations. Item VII(10)(b) lists the
total irrigation area as 178,997 ft2; the water balance and agronomist report state the total irrigation
area as 125,017 ft2; and the plans and engineering calculations show a total irrigation area of 133,084
ft2. Please amend the appropriate documents such that all of the proposed irrigation areas are
consistent.

Mr. Micheal S. Robinson

Detailed Plans (continued):
> Plan Sheet NU-2
1. Amend the Wastewater Process Schematic Flow Diagram to state that 25 individual septic tanks
are proposed, and that the 9,000 gallon recirculation tankage consists of three (3) 3,000 gallon
interconnected tanks.
> Plan Sheet NU-3
1. Amend Treatment System Note #5 to state "The effluent return lines from two (2) pods have
routed back to the surge tank for enhanced denitrification."
2. Amend Keynote #2 to state "See Detail 1 on Sheet NU-4 for invert elevations".
3. Amend Keynote. #3 to reference the correct Detail number on Plan Sheet NU-4.
4. Amend Keynote #7 to reference Detail 6 on Sheet NU-5.
5. Amend Keynote #9 to require a 50 gallon per minute (GPM) UV Disinfection unit, and amend
the note to reference Detail 3 on Sheet NU-5.
> Plan Sheet NU-4
1. The referenced plan sheet numbers for Details 1 and 2 are incorrect. They should read NU-4, not
NU-5.
2. Amend the 3,000 gallon surge tank profile view (Detail 1) to include a note about the
Denitrification Inlet, and to include the specified effluent filter.
3. Amend the 1,000 gallon septic tank profile view (Detail 2) to include the required effluent filter
and baffle, as well as remove the side -wall inlet.
4. The plan view of the recirculation tanks has an incorrect detail reference (1 / D-107). Please
amend. In addition, amend the plan view to include the clean -out upstream of the first
recirculation tank, and correct the "See NU-16 for continuation" reference. Plan Sheet NU-16 is
of a drip irrigation field, not the upstream surge tank.
> Plan Sheet NU-6
1. Amend Plan Sheet NU-6 to include the required restrictive public access measures mentioned in
Application Question #2 above.
> Plan Sheet NU-7
1. The details on this sheet reference the wrong plan sheet. Please change the detail naming from
NU-6 to NU-7.
2. The pond outlet detail (Detail 1 / NU-7) and pond outlet structure detail (Detail 2 / NU-7)
reference the wrong drainage orifice detail. Amend both details to reference Detail 4 / NU-7.

I remember this project well. 

The property line setbacks for this irrigation system were permitted under 15A NCAC 02T .0506(c), which allows them to 
irrigate up to the property line (0 foot setback) as long as the reclaimed water effluent standards are met.  This rule also 
requires that the CB/RB be at the wetted area boundary of the irrigation system. 

Since the facility did not have any sort of upset storage, or means to retreat the effluent if it did not meet reclaimed 
water standards, the interior fields (1A, 1B, 4, and 6) were designated as the area where non‐reclaimed water was to be 
routed in the event of an upset condition. 

Since the these fields were designated as the “upset” site, as well as reclaimed water fields, they were still given the 
CB/RB of at the wetted area because irrigating on these fields during upset conditions would not be the norm, but the 
exception.  In other words, these fields are still considered reclaimed fields with a reclaimed CB/RB, but they are also 
located far enough away to meet the non‐reclaimed water setback of 50 feet to the property line if an upset condition 
occurred.  This was done to prevent non‐compliance of the setback requirements in the event of an upset condition. 

So, long story short, the CB/RB should be the wetted area for all fields, in my opinion and interpretation of the rules. 

Hope this helps!

Subject: WQ0033804dp1702XXDRAFT.docx (Mtn Laurel Resort formerly Deerborne Cottages) 

I have drafted this permit and have had in depth discussions with Bev Price about the compliance and review 
boundaries.  In a nutshell this facility has fields (3,5,7 and 8) and receive reclaimed effluent and other fields (1A, 1B, 4 
and 6) that receive non‐reclaimed quality effluent.   

Clearly the two different groups of fields have different review boundaries, one being midway between the compliance 
boundary and the disposal area and the other at the disposal boundary. 

The difference is in where compliance boundary is determined.  For the reclaimed,  it is again at the disposal boundary 
but for the wastewater it is either 250 feet from the effluent disposal area, or 50 feet within the property boundary, 
whichever is closest to the effluent disposal area.  Correct? 

In the last permit, the condition about where the compliance boundary was located for the non‐reclaimed water was 
left out so Bev and I believe that the Permittee did not have different (250 feet from the effluent disposal area, or 50 
feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the effluent disposal area) distances for the non‐reclaimed 
disposal fields. 

My question is that, is this an error in the last permit and if it is should I insert this condition (see below) in the renewed 
permit and request that they redraw the compliance and review boundaries as a schedule in the renewed permit.   

1. [HRIS & WWIS][FOR SITES PERMITTED ON OR AFTER DECEMBER 30, 1983; FOR WWIS FACILITIES 
COMPLYING WITH 15A NCAC 02T .0506(C) DELETE THIS CONDITION] This disposal system was 
individually permitted on or after December 30, 1983; therefore, the compliance boundary is 
established at either 250 feet from the effluent disposal area, or 50 feet within the property boundary, 
whichever is closest to the effluent disposal area.  An exceedance of groundwater standards at or 
beyond the compliance boundary is subject to remediation action according to 15A NCAC 02L 
.0106(d)(2) as well as enforcement actions in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143‐
215.6A through 143‐215.6C.  [15A NCAC 02L .0106(d)(2), 02L .0107(b)]

Re: NOD-2013-PC-0389/WQ0033804
Dear Landon,
This letter is in response to your 10-2-13 letter to Deerborne Cottages attached.
Per the request of a property manager for Troy Bank we have been asked to price or
budget the repairs needed to bring this facility to full compliance and certification.
Our plan is to have this scope submitted to the owner for approval by 11-8-13 and assume
approval can be obtained by 11-22-13. The work should be able to be complete within
another 45 days from the approval date. With weather and holiday delays this should be
complete by March 1st, 2014.
Specific areas outline will be addressed as follows:
1. The wet weather pond dam grading and reseeding will need to take place in the
spring or in March 2014 to properly grow.
2. Irrigation zones 1A, 1B, 2, 3, 4, and 5 will need assessed with regard to manifold
depths, tree damage, re -set as needed with replacement risers, lids, pipe as
needed. The drip tubing will need testing and repaired as needed. We will
need to coordinate with Brooks Engineering for final certification.
I trust this answers your issues and feel free to contact me anytime if I need to provide
any further information or assistance.

inspected the subject Wastewater Irrigation System. We wish to thank Mr. Bob Barr who was present
and assisted during the inspection. The purpose of the visit was to conduct a routine compliance
inspection.
The following items were determined to be deficient at the time of the inspection. (Also please refer to the
attached inspection report):
1. Failure to maintain a proper vegetative cover on the dam of the wet weather pond. The small
seedlings/woody vegetation should be removed from the dam. A good stand of grass should be
established from the top of the dam to the toe.
2. Irrigation Zones 1A, IB, 2, 3, 4 & 5 have not been repaired and therefore not certified. Some
issues are related to storm damage in 2009-2010 and others are related to the start-up inspection
conducted in 2009.
You are required to take corrective measures regarding the above items within 6 months of receipt of this
letter. Please respond in writing to our office within 30 days of receipt of this Notice indicating a course
of action to address these issues.

Comment: Only 3 drip zones have been certified for irrigation: Zones 6,7 & 8. The
remaining zones have not been certified due to prior storm damage; repairs to drip lines
are still needed.
The storage pond is not for off -spec water. It was designed as a wet -weather storage
pond. Any off -spec water is drip irrigated on Zone 6 only because zones 1A, 1 B, 2 and
4 are not certified yet. Effluent meeting reclaimed standards can be irrigated on zones
7&8.

Capacity of Model #1200 —1400 GPD Residential Strength Effluent
Septic Tank
The septic and re -circulation tank shall be inspected annually to ensure they are operating
properly. Remove the access covers over the tank openings to perform the inspection.
1. Verify the lid and riser assemblies are watertight. Check for any damaged,
water weeping marks, holes or cracks. The system must remain watertight to
perform properly.
2. Remove, clean and replace the outlet effluent filter in accordance with the
instructions provided by the effluent filter manufacturer.
3. Inspect the liquid level in the septic tank, it should be level with the bottom of
the outlet pipe.
4. Inspect the effluent and scum layers in the septic tank. Look for oil or any
other contaminants that are not normal.
5. Verify the tank has received its scheduled pumping and cleaning. Check the
solids layer in each of the tanks. If the solids layer is excessive have the tank
pumped.
Re -Circulation Tank
The re -circulation tank shall be inspected annually to ensure it is operating properly.
Remove the access covers over the tank openings to perform the inspection.
Verify that the lid and riser assemblies are watertight. Check for any damaged, water

Re -Circulation Tank
1. Inspect the liquid level in the re -circulation tank, it should be level with the
bottom of the outlet pipe.
2. At initial Starting -Up of the system remove the end caps from the spray
manifold. Operate the re-circ pump by turning the pump control to the "Hand -
On" position. Let the pump run for 1 (one) minute the turn the pump control
to the "Off" position repeat this procedure three times to flush any
construction debris such as dirt or pipe shavings from the spray manifold.
Replace the end caps "Hand Tight" do not use wrenches or pliers. Re -set the
pump control selector switch to the "Auto" position.
3. Inspect the float by-pass valve. Manually start the re -circulation pump and
observe the float ball valve, the ball should drop as the liquid in the re-
circulation tank drops the effluent returning from the sand filter pod should
flow back into the re -circulation tank and should not flow out the discharge
pipe.
4. Verify that all the re -circulation pump floats are in good condition, properly
secured to the float bracket and are able to move freely within the re-
circulation tank.
5. Observe the system as it re -circulates. Visually verify all flows thru the
system.

2. Check the voltage and motor amp draw and record the readings. If the readings
are beyond the limits of the NEC recommendations, have an electrician check the
main service line feeding the system control panel.
3. Place the system in the normal operating mode by turning the re -circulation pump
switch to "AUTO". Verify the Time Clock ON/OFF settings are the same as set at
system start-up. Record those timer settings in the system log.
4. Verify the accuracy of the system ON/OFF Timer Clock. To accomplish this use a
stop watch and verify the length of time the re -circulation pump is OFF then
verify the time the re -circulation pump is ON, those times should match the
ON/OFF Timer Clock settings in the control panel.

5. Confirm the operation of the visual and audible "HIGH" and "LOW" water
alarms. The control has an alarm switch clearly marked Alarm "ON", Alarm
"Auto" and Alarm "Silence" Place the Alarm Switch in the "ON" position, you
will hear a loud buzzer and see a red flashing light. Move the switch to the
Alarm" Silence" position the red light and buzzer will go dormant.
6. Once the alarms have been triggered return all settings to their original position of
Alarm "AUTO" (If applicable, verify the operation of the telemetry unit by
checking the alarm notations on the website.)
7. Verify the floats are operational by manually raising and lowering the floats to
simulate the systems normal operation. Verify proper operation of "High Level
Float" by lifting the float while the system Timer Clock is in the "OFF" time
mode, the re -circulation pump should turn on over riding the "OFF" timer, the
Visual and Audible alarms should activate. Return the float to its normal position
the re -circulation pump will turn off. Reset the alarms and manually lower the
"Low Water Float" with Timer Clock in the "ON' mode, the re -circulation pump
will turn off and the visual/audible alarms will activate. Return the float to the
normal position and the re -circulation pump will run. Reset the Alarms.
8. Properly re -install and secure all tank accesses!
E-Z Treat Sand/Media Filter
The E-Z Treat Sand Filter should be inspected to ensure it is operating properly. Remove
the pod cover to perform this inspection.
1. Take a grab sample of the effluent check for:
a. Odor, the effluent may have an earthy or musty smell there should be
no strong or offensive odors present.
b. Color, the effluent should be clear and absent of any color.
c. Solids, there should be no visible suspended solids
d. Solids, let sample set for 15 minutes, there should be no visible settling
of solids.
e. Test the pH, it should measure 6.9 to 7.5
If there is odor, color or solids clean the media.
If the Ph is below 6.9 reduce the re -circulation rate by increasing to "Off"
time on the Time Clock Control. Recheck the Ph in 90 days.
2. Observe the spray distribution nozzles during operation. If a nozzle appears to
be clogged or if the spray pattern is not uniform, remove the nozzle and clean
the nozzle using a pipe stem cleaning brush.

3. Record the pressure reading on the distribution manifold gauge. Compare that
pressure to the pressure recorded at the previous inspection. The pressure
should read 18 to 27 PSI.
a. Verify the pressure gauge on the spray distribution manifold is
performing properly.
b. Verify the flow rate at the spray nozzles (it should be 1.75 to 2 GPM).
c. Verify the re -circulation pump is the same make and model pump that
was specified for the original installation.
d. Verify the re -circulation pump is performing in accordance to the
pump manufacturers' specifications including amp draw and flows at
specific pressures.
e. If the pressure is above the prior recording or above the start up
setting, open the ends of the distribution manifold lines, manually start
the re -circulation pump and allow it to run for 5 minutes. This should
flush out the spray distribution lines. If the pressure remains too high,
after cleaning the spray nozzles and flushing the spray distribution
lines, adjust the pressure to the desired PSI using the ball valve on the
main spray distribution supply line.
f. If the pressure/flow is too low check for cracks, breaks or obstructions
in the main distribution supply line.
4. Verify the treatment pod is properly draining by looking down the pod side
wall vents, there should be no standing water, the bottom of the pod should be
visible.
5. Visually inspect the surface of the treatment media for:
a. Holes, tears, loose seams
b. Foreign material
c. Black color on media (media should have light brown tint)
d. Excessive bio mat growth
e. Ponding
f. Clumping of the media.
Note: If any of these conditions exist the media needs to be cleaned or replaced.
6. Lift the corners of the media mattress and visually inspect the sides and
bottom of the treatment media for:
a. Holes, tears, loose seams
b. Black color on media (media should have light brown tint)
c. Excessive bio mat growth
d. Clumping of the media.
Note: If any of these conditions exist the media needs to be cleaned or replaced.
