Are there any issues related to compliance/enforcement that should be resolved before issuing the permit? No V. EVAL UATIONAND RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Provide any additional narrative regarding your review of the application: This is an extended aeration system with a design capacity of 9,000 gpd. It was originally part of an NPDES permit but a non -discharge permit was issued after it became evident that there would never be a discharge. The package plant was originally designed to accommodate domestic wastewater as well as that from the truck garage. The flow over the last several years has been solely domestic (office building) and is now estimated to be only 500 gpd. In July 2008, components of the treatment system (diffusers, blowers, piping, chlorinator) were replaced. The 0.5 acre evaporative basin is still overgrown with woody vegetation but has been cleared sufficiently to locate the effluent pipe. The trickling flow produces only a wet spot on the ground below the pipe. If Division policy requires continued groundwater monitoring, this office's recommendation is found below. 2. Attach Well Construction Data Sheet - if needed information is available 3. Do you foresee any problems with issuance/renewal of this permit? Yes X No. 4. List any items that you would like APS Central Office to obtain through an additional information request. Make sure that you provide a reason for each item: Item Reason 5. List specific Permit conditions that you recommend to be removed from the permit when issued. Make sure that you provide a reason for each condition: Condition Reason 6.

The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times. 4. The following buffers shall be maintained a) 100 feet between treatment/storage units and any wells, b) 50 feet between treatment/storage units and surface waters, and c) 50 feet between treatment/storage units and property lines. Some of the buffers specified above may not have been included in previous permits for this waste treatment and disposal system. These buffers are not intended to prohibit or prevent modifications, which are required by the Division, to improve perfonnance of the existing treatment facility. These buffers do, however, apply to modifications of the treatment and disposal facilities that are for the purpose of increasing the flow that is tributary to the facility. These buffers do apply to any expansion or modification of the irrigation areas and apply in instances in which the sale of property would cause any of the buffers now complied with, for the treatment and disposal facilities, to be violated. The applicant is advised that any modifications to the existing facilities will require a permit modification. This permit is not transferable. In the event there is a desire for the facilities to change ownership, or there is a name change of the Pennittee, a formal permit request must be submitted to the Division of Water Quality (Division) accompanied by an application fee, documentation from the parties involved, and other supporting materials as may be appropriate.

The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility. 9. The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this facility. 10. Diversion or bypassing of untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited. 11. Freeboard in the settling lagoon shall not be less than two feet at any time. 12. Any monitoring deemed necessary by the Division to insure surface and ground water protection will be established and an acceptable sampling reporting schedule shall be followed. 13. Adequate inspection, maintenance, and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee to insure proper operation of the subject facilities. 14. The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the wastewater recycle facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and discharges which may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall maintain an inspection log or summary including at least the date and time of inspection, observations made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This log of inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee for a period of three years from the date of the inspection and shall be made available to the Division or other permitting authority, upon request. 15.

Bush, J . From: Brian Wootton it' Subject: American & Efird, Inc. Recycle System Gaston County Permit No. WQ0010197/GW99150 Joni Cardin: SERG Review Engineer SEP 20 1999 6 ' ' ENT The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit renewal request for the continued operation of the 68,000 GPD settling basin wastewater recycle system to accommodate alum wastewater from the Mount Holly Water Treatment Plant. Groundwater monitoring is not necessary at this time, since the wastewater consists of alum (which binds to the lagoon bottom) and does not leach out to groundwater. Based upon the Groundwater Section's review of the subject permit application and supporting documentation, the Groundwater Section makes the following recommendations: The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary for the disposal system individually permitted after December 31, 1983 is established at either (1) 250 feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) within 50 feet of the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6A(a)(1). In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the disposal system midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. Any exceedance of standards at the Review Boundary shall require remediation action on the part of the permittee. 2.

OF ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH, & NATURAL RESOUPC:ES OMSIOR OF ENVIROIIPii , ._a1 MOORESVILLE REGUAL w i llA The Groundwater Section recommends that the comments written 11/28/94, be amended. We feel that a liner is not needed at this facility, based on the success of other unlined alum sludge lagoons (permitted facilities) and the recommended bottom elevation of the lagoon, stated in the engineer's report (submitted with the permit application). We concur with the engineer's recommendation that the lagoon should be constructed so that the depth of the bottom of the lagoon is no deeper than elevation 585 feet above sea level. This elevation (585 feet) is to avoid contact with the seasonal high water table and to adhere to North Carolina State Regulations (15A NCAC .0219). We have no objection to issuance of the permit, provided that the following conditions are included: 1. The bottom of the lagoon shall be constructed at an elevation of no lower than 585 feet (mean sea, level). 2. Waste shall not be applied or discharged onto or below the land surface when the vertical separation between the waste and the seasonal high water table is less than one foot. 1 3.

REGIONAL SUPERVISOR 10 November 1994 American & Efird, Inc. Permit Review GW #94222 WQ #010197 The.recycle lagoon is designed for containing the backwash waters of the sandfilters, and acting as a settling pond. The water is then pumped back to the raw water holding pond for re- use. The only additive to this water is the alum for flocculation purposes. Two discrepancies surfaced during our site visit: 1. The permit application stated that the lagoon basin bottom was to be approximately 10 feet below the existing grade. The plant engineer, in contrast, said that the excavation would be limited to less than two feet. Which is correct? The water table is 10 feet below grade. 2. The permit application indicated that the basin would be lined with a concrete liner. The plant engineer said it would be a natural liner. Which is correct? If natural liner is chosen then they must comply with 15A NCAC 2H .0219(f). The Mooresville Regional Office recommends permit issuance without groundwater monitoring if the applicant can show the construction of the recycle basin is in compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0219(d) and .0219(f).

The purposes of the exploration were to evaluate subsurface conditions in the area of a proposed equalization basin and provide geotechnical engineering recommendations for either.a concrete lined lagoon or an on -ground tank. This report presents a brief discussion or our understanding of the project, the exploration procedures and results, and our conclusions and recommendations regarding the above considerations. REPORT SUMMARY. For your convenience our conclusions are summarized below. This brief tabulation should not be used in design or construction without first reviewing the more detailed information presented in the remainder of the text. georgic f I o r i d a carolinas M340MA' AT&E Job No. AE-1365 Report No. G-51710 Page 2 1. All of the borings encountered moderate consistency alluvial soils from the ground surface to depths of approximately 12 to 18 feet. The alluvial soils were underlain by low to moderate consistency residual soils. 2. Ground water was encountered at depths ranging from approximately, -- the ground surface 1(elevabons M ��0 90). Several feet of fluctuation can be expected throughout the life of the facility. ' 3. All four borings penetrated to the planned termination depth of .20 feet without encountering either partially weathered rock or auger refusal. 4. Conditions are satisfactory for constructing an excavated lagoon at the project site. We recommend that the lagoon bottom be constructed at eiev d' or higher to reduce the chances of encountering ground water during construction. 5. The on -site soils which are excavated from the center of the lagoon could be used to construct earthen dikes, if necessary., 6. ' Lightly loaded structures. including a ground supported tank, could be supported on shallow spread footings. We recommend that allowable bearing pressures not exceed 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf). This relatively low bearing pressure is to avoid excessive settlements in the loose residual soil zone encountered at depths of 13 to 20 feet. PROJECT INFORMATION An equalization basin will be constructed in an existing flood plain of the Catawba River near the existing American and Efird plant. We were provided two altemative basin locations at the project site. Each location encompasses an area roughly 75 feet square. We understand the basin was originally designed for the bottom to be at approxima ely elevaion 76,= which is AT&E Job No. AE-1365 Report No. G-51710 Page 3 approximately 15 feet below the ground surface. This bottom elevation could be adjusted with the addition of a pump station. The excavated basin would be a concr�eNlinedM#MVwith side slopes of 2H:1V or flatter. Some lightly loaded, manhole=type structures will be constructed in the vicinity of the basin. A 50-ton carbon dioxide tank will also be constructed near the basin. This tank will be supported on cradles, each with total loads of approximately 50 kips. An alternative design for the equalization basin would be an above ground (ground supported) tank. We understand it would be on the order of 40 feet in diameter and 24 feet high. It is expected to apply net bearing pressure of approximately 1500 pounds per square foot (psf) to the foundation soil and will be supported on either a ring wall or slab (mat) foundation. EXPLORATION AND TESTING PROCEDURES Originally, the locations of eight soil test borings were identified ERM personnel. However, based on evaluation of boring data as they were drilled, the drilling program was reduced to a total of four borings. The original numbering system was used for these four borings. The project was initiated by Atlanta Testing & Engineering personnel performing a visual site reconnaissance and locating the borings in the field by estimating right angles and measuring distances from existing manholes. The approximate boring locations are referenced on the Boring Location Plan (Plate 1) in the Appendix. Ground surface elevations were surveyed by Atlanta Testing &-Engineering personnel referencing the upper. manhole which we understand has a rim elevation of 90.57 feet. The ground surface elevations at the boring locations are referenced on the attached Test Boring Records. Because of the methods used, the boring locations and elevations should both be considered approximate. Soil test borings were drilled with a CME 550 drill rig utilizing hollow stem augers. The borings were extended to a termination depth of 20 feet below the ground surface, and standard penetration tests were performed at approximate 5 foot intervals. The purposes of the AT&E Job No. AE-1365 Report No. G-51710 Page 4 penetration tests were to estimate soil consistencies and collect samples for visual review. Soil descriptions and standard penetration test results are included on the Test Boring Records. SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS SITE DESCRIPTION The project site is located in a heavily wooded portion of the Catawba River flood plain. The specific basin locations are approximately 65 feet from an existing sanitary sewer line as shown on the attached Boring Location Plan. The ground surface is relatively flat, but it slopes gently downhill to the south, toward the river. According to the information provided by ERM Southeast, Inc., the ground surface ranges from approximately elevation 91 to elevation 86 in the proposed construction area. The surveying performed by Atlanta Testing & Engineering agreed with these elevations. The site is currently covered with both thick undergrowth and mature trees. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS. The borings encountered between 4 and 8 inches of organic topsoil at the ground surface. Alluvial. soils were then encountered beneath, the topsoil to depths ranging from about 13 to 18 feet. Alluvial soils are formed by deposition by flowing water. Geologically, alluvium is a recent deposit and is frequently found in a soft or loose condition. Also, rapid changes in soil types and consistencies can, occur in relatively short horizontal and vertical distances. The alluvial soils at this site consisted mainly of sandy silt with varying clay content. Some layers of silty fine to coarse sand were also encountered. Standard penetration resistances ranged from 6 to 23 blows per foot (bpf). Residual soils were encountered beneath the alluvium to the boring termination depths of 20 feet. Residual soils are those which have been derived by the chemical and physical weathering. of the parent bedrock. At this site, the upper few feet of the residual soil consisted of soft sandy silt to very loose silty sand with penetration resistances of 3 to 4 bpf. With depth, penetration resistances increased to 6 to 24 bpf. The looser residual soil zones were encountered in the ATBE Job No. AE-1365 Report No. G-51710 Page 5 upper end of the proposed construction area in borings SB-2 and SIB-3. However, these soft residual soil zones are typical in flood plain areas, and they can be expected to occur intermittently throughout the project site. Ground water was encountered both at the time of drilling and within a few hours after drilling at depths ranging from approximately 10 to 1-1--feet-�below_the�ground-surface-(elevation_77'o] 'per In the soil borings; we identified no obvious zones where the coloring would indicate a seasonal high water level. Experience with similar site and geologic conditions indicate that as much asF'fhrme_-t� fi .e fedt` t~gr d- d w to er fludfwation�,can occur with seasonal and yearly rainfall variations. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS This report. has been prepared for the exclusive use of ERM Southeast, and American and Efird, Inc. for specific application to the project discussed herein. The work was performed in accordance with generally accepted standards of geotechnical engineering practice within North Carolina at the time of the exploration. No other warranty is expressed or implied. The following conclusions and recommendations do not reflect variations in subsurface conditions from those encountered by the borings. Should such conditions be encountered during construction, it will be necessary for us to re-evaluate our conclusions and recommendations based upon the conditions encountered. If changes are made to the design, location, or grades of the facility, our recommendations must be considered invalid unless the changes are reviewed by our firm and the conclusions and recommendations to this report are verified or modified in writing. We should also be allowed to review applicable portions of the final plans and specification prior to construction to check that our recommendations have been properly interpreted and implemented. ATBE Job No. AE-1365 . Report No. G-51710 Page 6 GENERAL DISCUSSION Ground water levels at the time of drilling ranged from approximately elevation 77 to 79 feet. Further, soft soils were encountered below elevation 77 in SB-2 and SB-3. Ground water levels . can be expected to vary several feet in elevation with seasonal changes in rainfall variation; therefore, ground water levels can be expected to rise to at least elevation 83 to 84. If the basin excavation extends below approximately elevation 84, ground water control will most likely be necessary during construction and possibly permanently. It will most likely be necessary to over excavate 1-1/2 to 2 feet and backfill with coarse crushed stone to provide the drainage layer for ground water control and to stabilize the excavation which will most likely be unstable due to the inflowing ground water and the low consistency existing soils. We recommend that the basin bottom elevation belr»alseci to a leastlevatrort 85 to ao:id_signifcarstainfluence fromthe_grund J v+rater:leveloth{rinQg a after cansttiui Lon. Based on conversations with ERM personnel, we anticipate that this recommendation will be adhered to if an equalization basin is excavated at the site. Another alternative being considered for the equalization basin is an on -ground tank - approximately 40 feet in diameter and applying a maximum foundation pressure on the order of 1500 psf. The foundation stresses applied to the soils will result in some settlement in the soft soils existing at the project site. We have performed a preliminary settlement analysis using empirical correlations of the standard penetration resistances to settlement behavior of the soils. The proposed tank can be expected to settle between 1 and 2 inches with a maximum differential settlement of less than 1 inch across a distance equal to the tank radius. Typically, tanks of this nature and associated piping are relatively tolerant to settlement, and we anticipate that this settlement magnitude will be tolerable. If not, we recommend performing additional borings and specific testing related to settlement to obtain better estimates of the soil settlements under the tank loads. The following sections of this report present recommendations for both of the above alternatives. We can consider other alternatives if changes are made in the design approach or if neither of these is considered feasible. We can also provide detailed recommendations for ground water AT&E Job No. AE-1365 Report No. G-51710 Page 7 control and excavation stabilization, should the owners or designers desire to pursue an equalization basin with a lower bottom elevation. EARTHWORK RECOMMENDATIONS Stripping and Subgrade Evaluation.- To prepare the site for construction, all topsoil, root . systems, and organics -should be stripped from the embankment or structure areas. We anticipate that stripping will average approximately 1 foot, but deeper stripping may be required to remove any large root systems or isolated zones of soft soils or organics. After stripping, areas that are to receive fill or areas that are at existing grade should be evaluated by a geotechnical engineer. The evaluation should include observing the subgrade being proofrolled with several passes of heavily loaded rubber tired equipment, such as a loaded dump truck or scraper. Any areas judged to deflect or rut excessively, and cannot be stabilized by continued rolling, should be undercut to firm soils before placement of structural fill. Fill Placement - After the site is stripped and evaluated, structural fill may be used for the dike embankments or under proposed structures. Soils excavated from the upper 5 to 8 feet (minus organics) at the project site can be reused as structural fill, although some moisture adjustment may be necessary to achieve sufficient compaction. If excavations extend below the ground water level, the soil moisture content will most likely be well above the optimum moisture content, and considerable drying .may be necessary to use these soils as structural fill. If soil is transported to the site for use as fill, it should have a maximum liquid limit of less than 50 and a maximum particle size of. less than 4 inches. Structural fill should be placed in relatively thin (6 to 8 inch maximum) layers and compacted to at least 95 percent of the soil's maximum dry density as determined by the standard Proctor compaction test (ASTM D-698). In -place density testing should be performed as a check that the recommended compaction criteria has been achieved. A suggested testing frequency is one test per vertical foot of fill for every 3,000 to 5,000 square feet in area fills and one test for every 100 to 150 feet of utility AT&E Job No. AE-1365 Report No. G-51710 Page 8 trench backfill. In areas smaller than 10,000 square feet, a minimum of three density tests should be performed per area per visit. Excavation Difficulty - Neither partially weathered rack nor auger refusal were encountered in any of the four borings performed at the site: Thus, rock excavation (blasting or the use of pneumatic tools) will most likely not be necessary to perform excavations at the project site. The depth of bedrock can vary significantly.and isolated boulders can be present within the residual soil zone; therefore, provisions for rock excavation should be included in the project specifications and the grading contract. Ground Water Control - We recommend that large excavations be' limited to approximately elevation 85 or above to prevent the need for extensive ground water control. If large . excavations below that elevation are inevitable, we should be contacted to provide additional recommendations for construction and permanent ground water control. Some minor excavations (utility trenches and manhole type excavations) will most likely extend below ground water levels at the site. In these areas, it is likely that pumps placed in shallow sumps in the excavations will most likely adequately dewaterthe excavations during construction. Where excavations are to remain open for a long period of time (overnight), it may be necessary to place a thin bedding layer of crushed stone to allow a drainage pathway for the inflowing ground water and to stabilize the bottom of the excavation for construction. Earth Sloaes - Permanent cut and fill slopes should be inclined no steeper than 2H:1 V and temporary slopes no steeper than 1.5H:1 V. Furthermore, if a lagoon type equalization basin is constructed and the liner is not expected to be waterproof, 3H:1 V slopes should be considered to reduce the risk of minor slope sloughing as water seeps through the dikes. FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS The boring results indicate that proposed structures and embankment dikes can be supported on the natural soils or new structural fill. We recommend designing any footings for a maximum AT&E Job No. AE-1365 Report No. G-51710 Page 9 allowable net soil bearing pressure of 2000 psf. This relatively low bearing pressure is intended to minimize settlements in the sort soil zone existing in some borings. Even though computed footing dimensions may be less, column footings should be at least 24 inches wide and strip footings should be at least 18 inches wide. These dimensions facilitate hand cleaning of the footing subgrade and placement of reinforcing steel. These dimensions also reduce the potential for localized punching failure. All exterior foundation bottoms should bear at least 18 inches below finished grade for. protective embedment. All foundation excavations should be evaluated by qualified geotechnical personnel prior to concrete placement to observe that the exposed soils are consistent with boring results. This evaluation is particularly important because the alluvial soils present at the project site may have isolated zones of organics or low consistency soils. If any such soils are encountered, the engineer can provide recommendations for correcting the area oe provide geotechnical guidance should any unforeseen construction problems develop. Any disturbed or water softened soils should be selectively removed from the excavation bottoms before placing reinforcing steel. Footing subgrade soils will soften if exposed to weather extremes. If footing concrete cannot be placed the same day as the excavation is completed, the excavation should be covered with polyethylene sheeting, 6 to 8 inches of crushed stone, or a thin concrete mud mat. If these protective measures are not'implemented, over excavation of the disturbed .soil may be necessary. SLAB ( MAT ) RECOMMENDATIONS On -grade slabs or mat foundations may also be supported on the in -place soils or new structural fill. The mat can be designed. using a modulus of subgrade reaction of 200 pounds per cubic inch. The mat should be designed to withstand a maximum differential settlement of up to 1 inch, as discussed in the General Discussion section of this report. We recommend that any slab or mat subgrades be evaluated by a geotechnical engineer in a manner similar to that discussed for foundations. Areas judged by the engineer to .be ATE Job No. AE-1365 Report No. G-51710 Page 10 unsatisfactory for concrete placement should be undercut to firm soils and replaced with compacted structural fill or crushed stone.

The borings were advanced by mechanically rotating continuous, solid -stem augers into the ground. At regular intervals, soil samples were obtained with a standard 1.4-inch M, 2-inch OD split - tube sampler. The sampler was first seated 6-inches and then driven an additional foot with blows of a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches. The number of blows required to drive the sampler the final foot is designated the "standard penetration resistance and provides an indication of the soil consistency and strength. The soil samples, thus obtained, were enclosed in glass jars and transported to the laboratory for engineering classification. Soil classifications and penetration resistances are shown on the attached Test Boring Records. SUPPORTING CALCULATIONS ERM-Southeast, Inc.
