The ORC, Mark Teague, was present f r the inspection and guided me through the facility. The facility is now compliant with Permit No. NCO 88765. A significant number of distribution spray nozzles were not wo king during the inspection. Mark said they are being cleaned a few times per year. I recommended that he check the nozzles monthly_ and clean the nozzles in a pod if more than one of them is not disc iarging. The pump station audio alarm wasn't functioning. The visual larm, high float, and low float were working. Both of the pumps were operational. Alarms and flo is should be checked regularly and replaced immediately when found to be malfunctioning. Chlorination and dechlorination have been added to supplement the UV disinfection treatment. Both are being used jin tablet form. One chlorination tube and one dechlorination tube are in use. The system has,a'series of several large septic tanks in series Mark says that the septic tanks are being pumped out as needed, which is at least semi-annually. I talked to Wayne Smith (permit owner) about the back-up po Ier system. He said that the generator was serviced last year by John Whitakind and will send me a copy of the paperwork. Effluent from the system looked clear. Effluent weir box still was not secured at the time of the inspection. Mark did get his team to put a lock on.the lid later the same day though. On 3/24/17, 1 received a video from Environmental Inc. showin� that the audio alarm had been repaired. Page# 2 Permit: NCO088765 Owner - Facility: Tuckaseegee RV Resort Inspection.

NCO088765 Dear Sirs, 1 am writing in response to the inspection that was performed on May 18, 2016 at the Tinseltown RV Park WWTP. My associate Dale Wike informed me of the inspection and the deficiencies that were noted, and we immediately began making the corrections. Mr. Smith, "Permittee" of Tinseltown is completely responsive in making the necessary improvements and or repairs and we have discussed with him what needs to be corrected. Please see our response to the following deficiencies: • Weeds and vegetation has been cut. The owner and operator will coordinate who will be responsible in keeping the weeds and vegetation cut on a regular basis. • The spray nozzles for the synthetic surface media pods are cleaned, but we will begin cleaning them more frequently. We are cleaning them the week of May 31, 2016,.and will continue to check during our weekly inspections. We will document status and perform the necessary maintenance, as needed. • The effluent weir box and UV disinfection chamber are unsecured. The "Permittee" will secure with a fence or lockable system. 0 Audible and visual alarms will be repaired, checked weekly and documented. U • The UV disinfection system had 2 bulbs working, but all bulbs have been replaced the week of May 23, 2016. Three ballast and two crystals have also been replaced. • Pumping of the system by our licensed Septage Firm is on -going. Following the inspection, the effluent pump tank and v-notch weir were pumped and washed down on May 26, 2016. As of May 31, 2016, we have started pumping and washing down all the effluent and influent basins. We will continue to monitor and pump as needed. • The "Permitee" will have the back up generator inspected and repaired if needed. In the'future, the generator will be inspected and tested on a regular basis. As the contract operator, it is my opinion that the installation of a chlorine contact basin - would be beneficial in the operations of Tinseltowns WWTP. It would give the "Permittee" a second option for disinfection of the effluent when problems occur with the UV disinfection system. It would also give the operator a way to observe the effluent for solids or discoloration of the effluent water.. Please notify me when you will be returning to resample, and I would like to meet you on site. Please let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, AawLqa g Mark Tea uft, O r Environmental, Inc.

Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar_ days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically: Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or Version 1110912011 PDES 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 pni r 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 (Iapart 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 tb e operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when th Ire 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 orI any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also "Composite Sample," above.) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. 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).

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 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: Upset 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.

Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). This final permit includes no major changes from the draft permit sent to you on October 22, 2008. . The Division recommends that you consider ultraviolet (UV) disinfection for your facility. Chlorine can be acutely toxic to aquatic organisms and forms secondary compounds that can also be detrimental to aquatic life. UV disinfection would reduce the chemical load in your facility's effluent and reduce risks to aquatic life ins tream. The Division also recommends that the plant will be equipped with emergency generators to operate all critical parts of the plant 'during the power outage. The dumping of recreational vehicle holding tanks that contain formaldehyde or other toxic compounds should be prohibited. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice. to the Division. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.

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. Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar 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 seizes 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 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 Version 1011012007 'DES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2of16 ➢ 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 X hours [X days detention time] over a 24-hour period. Effluent samples shall be collected 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. i Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants me: the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a co grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2) or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the 3 in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean >ite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" for conventional and other non -toxicant parameters. NOTE: Permittees may not submit a "daily average" calculation [for determining compliance with permit limits] for toxicants. See the relevant Federal effluent guideline[s] for the appropriate calculation interval. I 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).

Blaisdell, P.E., Assistant Chief, Engineering Branch, CG&L Section Regarding: Request for Authorization to Construct for NPDES NCO088765 Tinseltown RV Park Cover Letter BEA Project No. 313408 Dear Mr. Blaisdell: Brooks Engineering Associates appreciates the Construction Grants & Loans Section's Review of the Tinseltown RV Park wastewater treatment and NPDES permit application. This letter is provided to accompany the Authorization to Construct Application Form. The proposed project involves 42 RV Rental spaces. The design flow for the project has been calculated to be 4,200 gallons per day based on 100 gpd per rental space. A collection system will be designed and permitted by others. The biological treatment system is an E-Z Treat fixed - media recirculating filter system. The system is followed by U.V. Disinfection, a V-notch weir for instantaneous flow measurement, and aeration steps. Disinfected effluent will pass through a flow measuring weir box and a post aeration apparatus before final discharge to the Tuckasegee River. The following items correspond to items identified on the application form checklist. The supporting information is provided as indicated. 1. Letter of Request for ATC: This letter is requesting Authorization to Construct for the above referenced NPDES permit. 2. Project Description. See above for a brief project description. 3. NPDES Permit. A copy of the NPDES permit is provided as Attachment A. 4. Design Capacity. This system has a design capacity of 4,200 GPD (0.0042 MGD). 5. Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI). No FNSI is included because the design capacity is less than 0.5 MGD and privately funded. 6. Engineering Plans. Two sets are enclosed. 7. Engineer's Specifications. Two sets are enclosed. 8. Engineer's Calculations. Two sets are enclosed. 17 Arlington St. Asheville, NC 28801 www.brooksea.com ph.828.232.4700 fx.828.232.1331 9. Hydraulic Profile. Sheet NU-2 of the Engineering plans is also provided at a reduced scale 8.5 x 11 size as Attachment B of this letter. 10. Soil Erosion Control Permit. An Erosion Control Permit was issued for this project by the Jackson County Planning Department in 2006. A copy is provided in Attachment C. 11. Residuals Management Plan. A residuals management plan is included in the enclosed Operation & Maintenance Manual. 12. Construction Sequence Plan. No construction sequence plan is included since this is a new construction and all components are to be installed at one time. 13. 110 volt GFCI receptacle and potable water. A 110 volt GFCI receptacle and potable water source are included on the plans on Sheet NU-3. 14. Hydrogeologic Information. No potential for groundwater contravention exists so no hydrogeologic information is provided. 15. Abandonment of WWTP. No existing components will be abandoned. 16. Property Lines, Construction easements, permanent easements, and ROW. All of these can be seen on Sheet NU-1. 17. All wells within 200 ft can be seen on Sheet NU-1. 18. All houses and places of public assembly within 100 ft can be seen on Sheet NU-1. 19. All wetlands and water features within 50 ft of all wastewater treatment or storage facilities are shown on Sheet NU-1. 20. The watershed classifications of each water body are shown on Sheet NU-1. 21. Plan Sheets for all applicable disciplines. Plan Sheets for all applicable disciplines are included. 22. Reliability per NCAC 2T .0505(1). A back up generator to power the recirculation pumps and U.V. disinfection system has been specified. 23. 100 year Flood Elevation shown. The 100 year flood elevations are shown on the plans. All WWTF components are protected from the 100 year flood elevations. 24. North Arrow. The north arrow appears on all plan sheets. 25. Horizontal and Vertical Control. Per the survey provided by Davenport & Associates horizontal and vertical control is based on NGVD 88. 26. Subsurface Investigation for new structures. No subsurface investigation is required for this project because the WWTF site is on fill dirt and is above the naturally existing grade. Again, we appreciate your timely review of this material. If there are any questions or issues that can be resolved with an explanation, please feel free to contact me at (828) 232-4700. Sincerely, Brooks Engineering Associates, PA MCoks, . .

The Division will proceed to modeling of the proposed discharge. After the model is completed and effluent limits are calculated the new draft permit will be publicly notice in a regional newspaper. The entire modeling and permitting process may take between 60 and 120 days. If the draft permit causes significant protests from local citizens, governmental organizations, and/or environmental groups a public hearing may be scheduled and issuance of the final permit may be further delayed.

Proposed Treatment Technology Cut -sheet P ) 1.0 Introduction This Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) is provided as part of the application for a new NPDES permit for the "Tinseltown Recreational Vehicle Park in accordance with . 15A NCAC. 2H.0105. The purpose of this EAA is to determine the technical and economic feasibility of wastewater disposal options available for the development. i As part of the 1972 Clean Water Act, discharge to surface waters is considered only as a last resort. Brooks Engineering Associates has evaluated all of the alternatives and has concluded that the surface discharge permit is the only viable option for the applicant. The property was purchased with the intent of improving the property to accommodate 42 RV units at the site. The site was, originally a junkyard and required substantial environmental remediation. The remediation efforts required excavation and removal of thousands of tons of soil. Fill dirt was brought in to replace the excavated soil across most of the site. Upon initiation of a permit level investigation of LJ the soil conditions by the Jackson County Department of Public Health, it was j determined that the soil was unsuitable for a land,disposal system because the majority of the site is fill soil. The fill utilized is of a marginal an inconsistent quality rendering it unsuitable for any type of land based wastewater disposal method. {t 1.1 Applicant Information Pertinent information regarding the applicant and this application is as follows.

Engineering Alternatives, Analysis , Tinseltown RV Park 1 1.2 Property Information The subject property is located in Jackson County at the intersection ofNCSR 1534 �E and NCSR 1397, just off Highway 74 between Dillsboro and Bryson City. The subject site consists of two parcels,'Tract C (PIN # 7622-16-0677) which is 1.208 acres and -! Tract A (PIN # 7612-49-4735) which is approximately 10.2 acres. Tract C is a narrow low lying area between the railroad tracks and SR 1397. The parcel is entirely f comprised of railroad and state road right -of way. Tract A is completely cleared and is r,` mostly fill material with newly seeded grass. No existing structures are on the site { ( except a well house. The Tuckasegee River borders the property to the north. The site -was formerly an automotive scrap yard. Environmental assessment discovered petroleum hydrocarbon contamination. The remedial efforts included soil excavation a removal of approximately four to five feet of soil across the entire site. The excavated soil was replaced with non -specified fill dirt from multiple locations. The proposed development project consists of 42 RV slips that will be rented on a k daily, weekly or monthly basis. The site water service will be provided by a single �i existing well and proposed community water supply system. The site layout is provided as Figure 1. The Local Government Review Form is provided as Attachment A. j A general site location map' has been included as Figure 2 depicting the discharge location. The proposed wastewater receiving stream is the Tuckasegee River. The design flow for the project is calculated to be 4,200 gallons per day (gpd) based upon ` 42 RV units at 100 gpd/ RV unit in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114 (since 15A NCAC 2H 0.219 has been repealed). Brooks Engineering Associates, P.A. Engineering Alternatives Analysis +� BEA Project No. 313408 Tinseltown RV Park 2 3 2.0 Initial Discharge Determination Brooks Engineering Associates has performed an initial determination regarding the potential of the receiving stream to accommodate the proposed developments' design wastewater flow of 4,200 gpd. The discharge location longitude and latitude are 1� provided on Figure 2. Initially, the receiving stream, the Tuckasegee River, was researched for limiting classifications and the following determinations were made: ♦ The Tuckasegee River has no zero -flow restrictions per 15A NCAC 26.0206 (d)(2); ♦ The Tuckasegee River is classified as a Class B River (Stream Index No. 2-79- 17 (40.5), Whittier Quad); ♦ River Segment Index No. 2-79-(40.5) of the Tuckasegee River is not designated as 1� an Impaired Water and has no designated TMDLs; ♦ The Tuckasegee River hosts the appalachian elktoe and the spotfin chub, but the segment of the Tuckasegee River where this project is proposed has no known presence of endangered species. �I ♦ Class B waters have no restrictions on watershed development or types of discharges. it a A basin plan does exist for the receiving stream watershed. The Little Tennessee River Basin Plan was implemented in 1997, renewed in April 2002 and again in -March r 2007. The plan does not include, any discharge restrictions or moratoriums, with the exception of Impaired Waters identified in different sections of the river. To address potential deficiencies of the receiving stream regarding flow, BEA staff conducted an investigation by' confirming a positive 7Q10 "low stream flow" for the Tuckasegee River with the ;USGS. These activities are discussed below. On May 9, 2008 BEA staff contacted Mr. Curtis Weaver, PE of the USGS in Raleigh, North Carolina. Mr. Weaver is the principal engineer in charge of making stream flow determinations for the Raleigh USGS office. The 7-day 10-year low flow (7Q10) is the governing stream criteria for wastewater point source discharges for flow acceptance. Mr. Weaver replied via a -mail that there are two existing active stations and one discontinued station nearby on the Tuckasegee River. The USGS operates two active .I Brooks Engineering Associates, P.A. Engineering Alternatives Analysis BEA Project No. 313408 Tinseltown RV Park 3 )j continuous -record gauging stations on the Tuckasegee River (station id 03510577, drainage area 360 sgmi and station id 03513000, drainage area 655 sgmi). The flows at these,stations are recognized as being subject to regulation effects by several upstream impoundments in :the basin: Thorp Reservoir, Cedar Cliff Lake, Bear Creek Lake plus several others. Low -flow analyses based on regulated periods of record (since early 1950's) for these two sites indicate the 7Q10 yield is about 0.6 cfsm. In addition, a discontinued station at Camp Creek at Gateway (station id 0351059790, drainage area 376 sq mi) used a 7Q10 low -flow yield of about 0.58 cfs per sgmi (cfsm) to estimate the 7Q10 flow (estimated in June 1988). � This yield value was based on a discontinued continuous -record gauging station operated on the Tuckasegee River during 1935-1981 (station id, 03510577, drainage area 347 sq mi). In the absence of site -specific data for low -flow analyses, estimates of the 7Q10 discharge are determined by assessing the range of low -flow yields (expressed as flow per square mile drainage area, or cfsm) at nearby locations where the 7Q10 has been previously determined. The 7Q10 yield of 0.6 cfsm is fairly consistent with that used in the 1988 request (0.58 cfsm)', described .above and can thus be considered appropriate for estimating the 7Q10 flow at the proposed project site. A basin delineation was completed for the Tuckasegee River at Wilmont just upstream of the project site (station id 03510592, drainage area 370 sgmi, at Secondary Road 1397). Applying the drainage area (370 sgmi) to the above yield value (0.6.cfsm) k results in a 7Q10 flow estimate of about 220 cfs that can be considered applicable to this site. Given the design flow for TinseltoWn RV Park is 4,500 gpd, less than 0.007% of the 7Q10 flow, stream flow does not appear to be a .prohibitive factor. Therefore, based upon the preliminary investigation, it appears there are no flow or water quality restrictions on the Tuckasegee River that would immediately prohibit discharge of domestic wastewater with a standard level of treatment to surface waters.

The facility is currently being assumed by; the Tuckaseigee Water & Sewer Authority (TWSA). The closest connection point is where a force main leads in to the plant from the town of Whittier (to the north) on the south entrance road leading in to the industrial park Where the plant is located. The route to the Whittier WWTF has approximately 50 ft of elevation -gain from average elevation of the proposed site. The nearest connection location to the forcemain leading in to the plant is calculated to be. 3.26 miles from the subject property. BEA estimates two pump stations and force main construction for { the entire 3.26 miles along Thomas Valley Road would be required to connect to this system. This facility is permitted for 0.2 MGD and Joe Cline.with TWSA has stated that allocation for discharge to this plant is obtainable. The allocation fees for TWSA are included in the economic evaluation. The next closest wastewater treatment facility is the Scott Creek WWTP (NC0020214). The facility is located approximately 8 miles down stream from the subject site. Pump stations and force mains would also be required if the sewer line were to follow Highway 74 to the Dillsboro. facility. The Scott Creek facility would be extremely difficult to route a sewer connection line and is much further away than the Whittier facility. This facility is not considered further in this evaluation. r-� l ' i F While the connection to the Whittier WWTF is possible and permittable, the distance required to the facility is significant and must be evaluated for the economic feasibility. This option will be analyzed in Section 4.1. { Brooks Engineering Associates, P.A. Engineering Alternatives Analysis l BEA Project No. 313408 1 Tinseltown RV Park 5 3.2 Individual or Group Septic Systems The proposed campground land RV park includes 42 RV units on 10.2 acres. General guidelines by health departments suggest a minimum of 1/2 acre lots for an individual. r f primary septic system and repair area. This is not feasible given that each RV unit slip space is approximately 50 by 20 ft and driveways and turnarounds must allow for ingress/egress. The initial improvement plan for the campground was to cluster the camp sites and have them served by a common on -site septic system. However, the remediation activities and resulting fill placed on site have rendered that no longer an option. The Jackson County Department of Public Health performed a Soils Evaluation on the remaining portions of the site. Upon investigating the 10.2 acre site, sufficient l drainfield area for the proposed 42 RV units was not found. The soils were deemed "unsuitable" and the application was denied. A copy of the Jackson County report is j provided as Attachment B. Brooks Engineering Associates conducted a soils investigation to find areas spitable for subsurface disposal or surface irrigation. The entire site was determined to be unsuitable due to setback conditions and inconsistent soil properties of the fill material. The Brooks Engineering Associates soils report letter summarizing the findings is provided in Attachment C. The setbacks from surface water, property lines, and right-of-ways and ,poor soil conditions render the subject site unsuitable for surface irrigation. For a community system, the 4,200 gpd system would require 2.89 acres for primary and repair conventional drainfield area and 1.285 acres for a community subsurface drip system. These calculated areas are based upon assumed average soil loading rates and do not include any required acreage for setbacks and any pretreatment system placement land requirements, just disposal area. Calculations are provided in Attachment D. It is estimated a 1.75,acre area would be necessary to site the community drip system with the governing setbacks and allow for conveyance piping. Individual and/or community septic systems (including subsurface drip) are determined to not be feasible at the subject site for the following reasons. Brooks Engineering Associates, P.A. Engineering Alternatives Analysis BEA Project -No. 313408 'iTinseltown RV Park 6 i o The project soil scientist report has not identified any area suitable according to the NCAC 18A .1900 rules due to the nature of the fill material. o The proposed land plan depicts only 0.51 acres available for on -site disposal, 7 shy of the 1.75 acres calculated to be needed, and the 0.51 acres has unsuitable soil conditions. o Any system over 3,000 gpd has to prove sufficient "conveyance capacity," or lateral hydraulic conveyance. The level site conditions with little gradient make the conveyance capacity very low, which would likely further increase the required land to accommodate the necessary design flow. J As neither the County nor BEA found any available space on the proposed site with suitable or provisionally suitable soil conditions, all of the 1.75 acres needed for a r community septic (or subsurface drip) system would have to be acquired from adjacent property owners. This option is evaluated in subsequent sections. i 3.3 Land Application & Reuse A full investigation of the feasibility of a land application system typically encompasses the following evaluations: 1.. Soils Evaluation (to, determine saturated hydraulic'conductivity rates);' 2. ''Agronomist Evaluation (to determine nutrient balance); 3. Hydrogeologic Evaluation (to determine water table and lateral flow); and 4. Water Balance Evaluation (to determine storage requirements). The irrigation rate is derived from soil saturated hydraulic conductivity measurements and a water balance based upon regional rain and evapotranspiration and storage provided. Based upon other regional projects, an irrigation rate of 1. inch per week (in/wk) is an assumed reasonable irrigation rate that will not necessitate restrictions based upon hydrologic or nutrient loading. A surface drip system would require 1.083 acres of disposal area (excluding setbacks and piping) with the same 1.0 in/wk loading rate. Calculations are provided in Attachment D. To obtain the required setbacks for surface irrigation systems, a reuse quality effluent would have to be provided (NCAC 18A 2T .0900 regulations): as the wastewater irrigation rule setbacks (NCAC 18A 2T .0500 regulations) can be met with the proposed land plan due to the required distances from habitable structures, property lines and surface waters. If reuse quality . I Brooks Engineering Associates, P.A. BEA Project No. 313408 Engineering Alternatives Analysis . Tinseltown RV Park 7 effluent can be provided, the only applicable setback would be 25 feet from the surface waters. From a practical standpoint, BEA estimates that at a minimum 1.25 acres would be required to get the disposal system installed with the 1.0 in/wk loading rate. A wastewater reuse irrigation system is determined to not be feasible at the subject site for the following reasons. o The project soil scientist report has not identified any area suitable for land application due to the nature of the fill material. o The proposed land plan depicts only 0.51 acres available for on -site disposal, shy of the 1.25 acres calculated to be needed. I o Under the NCAC 18A 2T .0900 regulations a wet weather storage pond, i typically sized for 30 days of wet weather storage (126,000 gallons) must be I sited and an additional pond sized for five days of storage (21,000 gallons) I - � would have to be provided to accommodate "upset" conditions. An additional y 0.2 acres would be required for constructing these ponds. �i Again, the basic land requirements result in this disposal option as being unfeasible for the proposed RV campground. At a minimum, an additional 1.45,acres would have to be purchased for the disposal area and for the necessary storage ponds under the 15A NCAC 18A 2T .0900 requirements. Additional Land Purchase The economic feasibility of purchasing additional land purchase option is evaluated Section 4.0. From a practical feasibility standpoint, the following purchase options have been evaluated and pursued. Adjacent property owners on the southwest include Joe H. Ward (61 acres, Deed Book 93E/, page 213) and Jimmie Lee ` Buchanan (30 acres, Deed Book 342, page 62); to the south B.H. Failin (1.87 acres, Deed Book 1026, page 558) and J.L. Rickman (2.82 acres, Deed Book 728, page 38); and G. Nations (4.53 acres, Deed Book 810, page 478); and on the southeast J. Nations (1 acre, Deed book 1196, page 510) and C.L.. Bradley (1.14 acres, Deed book 342, page 39). The Ward tract would be the most reasonable piece of property in the immediate vicinity with enough acreage to potentially accommodate a septic or land application system. The other tracts have residences on them and it would take multiple tracts to provide enough area. The adjoining property owners are shown on the attached "Site Layout" map (Figure 1). Brooks Engineering Associates, P.A. Engineering Alternatives Analysis BEA Project No. 313408 Tinseltown RV Park 8 i 1 � Mr. Ward and several of the neighboring land owners were contacted for possible land i F- acquisition by Mr. Wayne Smith. No positive response was received from any of the i neighboring land owners. This option was thorough ly,investigated. It was determined there was no reasonable potential for sufficient additional land acquisition to accommodate a land absorption t disposal option. However, a PVCA is provided in Section 4.0 assuming land was available. 3.4 Direct Discharge to Surface Waters As discussed in Section 2, discharge to surface waters is found to be a technically viable option as the initial evaluation has revealed the following conditions. ♦ . The Tuckasegee River has no zero -flow restrictions per 15A NCAC 213.0206 (d)(2). ♦ The Tuckasegee River has a classification as a Class B river. This section of the Tuckasegee River is not designated as impaired stream and has no designated TMDLs. ♦ This section of the Tuckasegee River has no presence of endangered species. ♦ The Tuckasegee River Basin Plan does not restrict additional point source discharge per the existing plan. 3.5 Combination of Alternatives Neither the subsurface disposal or land application alternatives are viable for the development due to unsuitable soil. conditions. A combination of discharge and land application or subsurface disposal could be effective if there were a neighboring property for sale with suitable, soil conditions, but this is not the case. i Therefore, the only two feasible options for the development are to connect to the Whittier WWTF (with a connection point 3.26 miles from the subject site) and a surface discharge permit. Both of these options are evaluated in Section 4. 4 Brooks Engineering Associates, P.A. r BEA Project No. 313408 Engineering Alternatives Analysis Tinseltown RV Park 9 4.0 Economic Evaluation of Alternatives The Present Value, of Costs Analysis (PVCA) for each disposal option,is provided as Attachment E. The economic evaluation of alternatives is for each of the wastewater treatment options based upon the best available information. In the first page of the PVCA the infrastructure costs from the EOC are added ,to the land costs to determine. the cost per unit in the RV Park. Then a Return on Investment is calculated for the project under the following scenarios: 1) extending sewer service Ito the nearest. existing WWTF (TWSA Whittier facility); 2) a community subsurface drip system requiring additional land purchase; 3) a community wastewater irrigation system (surface drip) requiring additional land purchase; and 4) an on -site community WWTF with a surface discharge permit. Only Options 1 and 4 were 'determined to be feasible in Section 3.0 primarily due to site limitations and soil constraints, so Options 2 and 3 are analyzed. under the incorrect assumption that the purchase of adjacent property is possible. Options 1 and 4 are ,analyzed without an additional land purchase as none is required. The Engineers Opinion of Cost (EOC) for the development infrastructure is provided as Attachment F and is utilized to demonstrate the base cost per unit and to provide a basis for the calculation of the Return on Investment (ROI) with each wastewater disposal option scenario. The infrastructure costs in the Engineer's Opinion of Cost are based upon professional experience and :data collected on previous regional projects'. As all of the infrastructure cost would-be incurred in the initial year of the development, they are all considered initial costs and therefore have no time value discounting and are not included in the PVCA analysis. The developer intends to rent the RV slip spaces. Occupancy percentages are based upon the developer's prospectus. The average rental price and percent occupancy is based upon the developer's market research in the rural western North Carolina area their intended pricing. Brooks Engineering Associates, P.A. BEA Project No. 313408 Engineering Alternatives Analysis Tinseltown RV Park 10 I i The EOC predicts an infrastructure cost of'$426,135 which includes the $100,000 already spent on excavation and removal of contaminated soil and a collection system for the WWTF, but does not include any treatment or disposal options. The PVCA -, adds in the initial land purchase cost and calculates a cost of $14,908 per RV site before any wastewater treatment option is.analyzed. As the RV slips are leased on a weekly basis, the PVCA first analyzes the annual income based upon estimated j occupancy in the RV park. The PVCA calculates an annual income of $98,481 (after paying for bank finance charges) excluding the WWTF installation and operation and maintenance costs of the WWTF. In analyzing each of the wastewater treatment options financial feasibility; a Return on Investment of less than 25% is typically unacceptable for any land development company, given the risks of site development. Any returns shown to be less than this would result in the project being scrapped and losses would be incurred on the initial investment to date.. 4.1 Connection to Existing Wastewater Treatment Plant The nearest sewer connection is the Whittier -Sanitary District facility (NC0087602) i currently operated by Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority (TWSA) WWTF .The nearest connection point to this facility is along Thomas Valley Road measured to be j 3.26 mile from the subject site. �i The cost for the internal development sewer collection in the Tinseltown RV Park is not .included in the PVCA for each disposal option, but it is included in the general infrastructure costs for the development as the collection system would have to be implemented with any of the wastewater options. -= The references utilized for;the cost basis are as follows: ♦ The price for sewer force main line is based upon professional experience and data collected on, previous regional projects. This data shows the 1 average cost for 8-inch sewer line installation is $38/foot installed. This price includes' materials and labor. It is assumed this would require two pump stations (as a result of the headloss in the 3+ miles of piping) and Brooks Engineering Associates, P.A. Engineering Alternatives Analysis �,; BEA Project No. 313408 Tinseltown RV Park I� LJ 1f several road bores to cross the road. This price does not include any road re -surfacing as it is assumed the'line could be installed off of the edge of AL pavement the entire length. This may or may not be true. Any road repairs would add significant cost. The price per foot could increase to over $100 per foot should road re -surfacing be required. ♦ The price for pump stations is based upon professional experience where 1 BEA has engineered similar pump stations to NC state standards. The $150,000 price includes a diesel backup power generator. ♦ The costs of the impact fees were from TWSA. As the operation and maintenance of the WWTF, pump stations, and force main would be performed by TWSA and are of no expense to Wayne Smith, these costs are not i included in the PVCA. Sewage rates would be paid by Tinseltown RV Park. However, the cost of the force main and pump station installation would be assumed by j� Tinseltown RV Park. The route for the sewer extension analyzed is that shown on Figure 3 with approximately 3.26 miles (17,213 ft). The results of the PVCA show that the project loses money if the 3+ mile sewer extension is required, which would render it not an economically viable option. This lengthy sewer extension would put undo hardship on the applicant and render his land investment worthless. The PVCA for this option is provided in Attachment E.. 4.2 Individual or Group Septic Systems I� Individual and community septic systems are discussed in Section 3.2. Individual septic systems are determined.to be not a technically feasible option. A community septic system is an option only with the purchase of additional neighboring property. While no neighboring properties are available, this option is evaluated for economic !�! feasibility. The purchase price of $25,000 per acre is determined from local real estate comparisons for recent tract purchases. It is determined in Section 3.2 that a minimum of 3.1 acres of land is required for disposal plus additional acreage for set -backs and — constructability. Assuming property could be purchased, a portion of the Ward tract (61 acres) would provide the 3.1 acres. Brooks Engineering Associates, P.A. Engineering Alternatives Analysis T BEA Project No. 313408 Tinseltown, RV Park I I 12 � J i The cost references utilized for the PVCA are as follows: 6 The price for the extended a small aerobic packed media filtration system is based upon vendor pricing and includes materials, installation labor, and engineering. 4 The price for the land application drip system' is based upon vendor pricing and includes materials, labor and engineering. • Operation and maintenance costs are based upon professional experience, except for electrical costs which are based upon state requirements and vendor recommendations. �t The results of the PVCA analysis demonstrate a Return on Investment of 35.6 %. ' - which would be an economically viable option if land were available for purchase. As mentioned in Section 3.2, none of the identified adjacent parcels are for sale. In -' addition, these adjacent properties have not been evaluated to determine unsuitable soil conditions making this disposal option not technically feasible. 4.3 Reuse Land Application Individual and group land application systems are determined to not be technically feasible without additional land purchase. Section 3.3 identifies an additional minimum of 2.6 acres would be required for disposal and setbacks. Assuming property could be purchased, a portion of the Ward Tract (3 out of 61 acres) would need to be 'i purchased. The on -site collection and pump system are again the same for any of the treatment options and this cost is not, included in the PVCA, but is considered in the return on investment analysis. The general infrastructure costs for the collection system in the development would have to be rimplemented with any of the wastewater options, with the exception of individual septic systems, and the cost is the same with each option, except where otherwise noted. Treatment of the effluent is to be performed by.an extended air package plant system capable of meeting secondary treatment standards. The package plant effluent is then distributed to a drip irrigation system located on the Ward tract. The drip system f i Brooks Engineering Associates, P.A. BEA Project No. 313408 Engineering Alternatives Analysis Tinseltown RV Park 13 1 � LJ will have to be dosed by an additional pump station and have a disc filtration and monitoring system. The cost references utilized, for the PVCA are as follows: 4 The price for the extended a small aerobic packed media filtration system is based upon vendor pricing and includes materials, installation labor, and engineering. ♦ The price for the land application drip system is based upon vendor pricing and includes materials, labor and engineering. ♦ Operation and maintenance costs are based upon professional experience, except for electrical costs which are based upon state requirements and vendor recommendations. The results show the PVCA demonstrate a 14.9% Return on Investment, rendering this option as economically, not viable. The increased monitoring costs and wet weather storage are the primary reasons for this option being less economically feasible than the subsurface drip system option. However, given that no additional neighboring acreage is available, this disposal option is rendered not technically feasible. 4.4 Direct Discharge to Surface Waters , _J i j This alternative is identified as technically viable and is analyzed for economic feasibility. The Present Value of.Costs Analysis is provided as Attachment E. The proposed treatment technology is a recirculating media filtration unit. The 4 j proposed plant is an E=Z TreatTM system in which septic tank effluent is dosed approximately 36 times a day over a high surface area synthetic media for aerobic �I biodegradation. The technology is capable of attaining tertiary treatment limits. The system has a dual treatment train to allow for duplicity in the system, and provide backup treatment in an emergency situation. The system will be equipped with UV j disinfection. A brochure for this technology provided as Attachment G. - 9Y � is Brooks Engineering Associates, P.A. Engineering Alternatives Analysis BEA Project No. 313408 Tinseltown RV Park j 14 The references utilized for the PVCA are as follows: ♦ The price for the EZ-Treat system is based upon vendor pricing and includes, materials, labor, engineering, and backup power. ♦ Operation and 'maintenance costs are based' upon professional experience, except for electrical costs which are based upon. vendor, recommendations. (Electrical -costs for the E-Z Treat system are less than that of an extended air system as there are no blowers). The results of the PVCA demonstrate this disposal option to be economically viable with a 28.8% Return on Investment. 4.5 Combinations of Alternatives As all soil disposal options require the purchase of additional land, which is not available, no combinations of alternatives are deemed technically or economically feasible.

According; to your application the site is to serve ten RV camper sites with a flow of 1000 gallons per day. The evaluation was done in accordance with the laws and rule, governing wastewater systems in North Carolina General Statute 130A-333 including related statutes and Title 15A, Subchapter 1 HA, ol'the North Carolina Adi-ninistrative Code, Rule. 1900 and related rules. - R, sed on the criteria set out in Title 1 SA, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Rules .1940 through .1948, the evaluation indicated that the site is UNSUITABLE for a ground absorption sewage system. Therefore, your request for an improvement permit is DENIED. A copy ol'tlie site evaluation is enclosed. The site is unsuitable based on the following: [Unsuitable soil topography and/or landscape position (Rule .1940) X_ Unsuitable soil characteristics (structure or clay mineralogy) (Rule .1941) _ Unsuitable soil wetness condition (Rule .1942) X Unsuitable soil depth (Rule .1943) Presence of restrictive horizon (Rule .1944) 7 Insufficient space for septic system mid repair area (Rule .1945) X Unsuitable for meeting required setbacks (Rule .1950) Other (Rule .1946 These severe soil or site limitations could cause premature system failure, leading to the discharge of untreated sewage on the ground surface, into surface waters, directly to ground water or inside your structure. The space was extremely limited alter all of the required setbacks were taken into consideration. The site evaluation included consideration ol'posihle site modifications, and tnodi lied, innovative or alternative systems. TTowever, the Health Department has determined that none of the above options will overcome the severe conditions on this site. A possible option might be a system designed to dispose of sewage to another area ol'suitable soil or off -site to additional _ property_ 777,.., J TC _ Grit Afifi7_7fil- 1 ril For the reasons set. out above, the property is currently classi lied UNSUITABLE, and no -- improvement permit shall be issued for this site in accordance with Rule .1948(c).

BEA has concluded'a detailed soils investigation of the area proposed for an on -site wastewater treatment system'for Tinseltown RV Park, a proposed RV park in Jackson ` County identified in Deed Book/Page 1'589/380.Lot D.' The purpose of the study was to find areas suitable for subsurface disposal or surface irrigation. The fifeld evaluation was performed outside of setback requirements from the Tuckasegee River, a. small stream on. the property, and`tlie railroad tracks: Five soil borings were advanced using a 3-inch hand auger.and a sharpshooter shovel. A Suunto clinometer was used to measure soil slope. Recommendations are based on, but not limited to, observations, made and data collected on topography, landscape position, parent material,, underlying geology, presence and depth of fill dirt, and natural soil characteristics. Soil characteristics include, but are not . i limited to, depth to a seasonal high water table, (SHWT), depth to a'restriciive horizon, total soil depth, soil horizonation, soil structure, soil color, clay mineralogy, bulk density; r consistence; plasticity, stone content, and percent sand,: silt, clay, and mica: They follow j the guidelines set forth in;the North Carolina Laws and Rules for Sewage Treatment and " Disposal Systems, laws amended effective December 49,-2001, and -rules amended ` effective June 1, 2006. in addition they follow the guidelines set forth.in the North Carolina Administrative Code -Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters; Title "1 SA DENR, Subchapter 2T, Section . 0100 through. 0600. Amended September 1, 2006, j Grading which occurs subsequent to this fieldwork renders the soil investigation in the graded area null and void. 1 7 RESULTS The landscape is, a floodplain bounded by the. Tuckasegee. River to the north and -Smoky Mountain Railroad to the south. The floodplain contains fill dirt,ranging 15 to 27 inches .I_ thick. Below the fill dirt, the -naturally occurring soil contains a SHWT. ;The entire site was determined to be -unsuitable due`to setback conditions,' inconsistent soil'properties of . the fill material, and a SHWT in the'natural soil below the fill dirt. .Thank you for the opportunity to.providethis soils information_ to you.

Washed, graded sand was the most common, but pea gravel has generally replaced it in recent times. Other granular media used include crushed glass, garnet, anthracite, plastic, expanded clay, expanded shale, open -cell foam, extruded polystyrene, and bottom ash from coal-fired power plants. Coarse -fiber synthetic textile materials are also used. Both coarse sand and fine gravel are used as filter media. 2 Based on forward flow, daily hydraulic loadings are typically about 3 gpd/ft (2 to 5 gpd/ft2) when the filter media is coarse sand. -Therefore, the corresponding combined daily filter hydraulic loading, including�the recirculated flow, may be 6 ' to 25 gpd/ftZ. Where gravel is used as the media, the daily hydraulic loadings are increased to as much as 10 to 15 gpd/ft2 with a',combined daily loading of 30 to P,1 75 gpd/ft . about 5 Ib/1000 ft2 per day(0.024 kg/m per day) where the effective size is approximately 1.0mm and the dosing rate is at least12 times per day. Higher loadings have been measured in short-term studies, but designers are i ! cautioned about exceeding this loading rate until quality -assured data confirm these higher levels. The BODSloading should decrease with decreasing effective size of the sand. Because of the larger pore size and greater permeability, gravel filters can be loaded more heavily.BOD5 loadings of 20 Ib/1000 ft2 per day (0.10 kg/m2 per � � day) have been consistently successful, but again higher loadings have been { measured. Small dose volumes are preferred because the flow through the porous media will occur under unsaturated conditions with higher moisture tensions. Better �- wastewater media contact and longer residence times occur under these conditions. Smaller dose volumes are achieved by increasing the number of doses per day. The recirculation ratio increases the hydraulic loading without increasing the organic loading. For example, a 4:1 recirculation ratio results in a hydraulic loading of five times the design flow (1 part forward flow to 4 parts recycled flow). The increased hydraulic loading reduces the residence time in the filter so that recirculation is necessary to achieve the desired treatment. Typical recirculation ratios range from 3:1 to 5:1. As the permeability of the media increases, the recirculation ratio may need to increase to achieve the same level of treatment. Media characteristics can limit the number of doses possible. Media re -aeration must'occur between doses. As the effective size of the media decreases, the ! time for drainage and re -aeration of the media increases. Re -circulating sand filters dose 2 to 3 times per hour (48 to 72times/day). Recirculation tank sizing _1 For single-family home systems, the recirculation tank is typically sized to be �,- equal to 1.5 times the design peak daily flow. li Ii Recirculating filter performance aSingle-family home filters.

I } In general, gravel RSF systems are far less prone to odor production than RSFs. Increased recycle ratios should help minimize such problems. However, power outages will stop the process from treating the wastewater, and prolonged J outages would be likely to generate some odors. Operating Costs Power costs for pumping fat 3 to 4 kWh/day are in the range of $90 to $120 per year. I� Re -Circulation Vessel This picture displays the splash guards that prevent the effluent spray from entering the ventilation channels and short circuiting the treatment process. This is also a good view of the filter mattress. Note; after 16 months of continuous operation there is no surface clogging or ponding, all that is present, is a very light brown coloration below the filter fabric. } Re -Circulating Filter Vessel The media mattress is placed in a specially designed treatment vessel. The vessel is 7ft 9 inches 1 square having a total surface area of 60 square feet and is 34 inches in depth. The vessel is manufactured with fiberglass, 1/4 inch thick, with a smooth gel coat applied to the interior surfaces. The vessel is fitted with a weatherproof cover to protect the system from the weather 77 and foreign materials. The vessel is designed with 12 evenly spaced, integrally molded, vertical 4 inch wide vents to ensure proper airflow to the treatment media. The vessel also contains 7 large, 4 inch :under drains, each connecting to a vertical vent, ensuring complete drainage of the filter media while providing good air flow to the underside of the media mattress. The top portion of the vertical vent channels are fitted with a splash shield that collects any overspray from the nozzles and directs. it onto the media mattress therefore preventing any effluent from short- circuiting of the treatment cycle. The under drain channels also provide an excellent. means of transporting the small amounts of solids and slough, from the media mattress, back to the re- circulation cylinder for continuous treatment therefore preventing the formation of an excessive biomass and restricting the flow of effluent and air. Re -Circulation Filter Vessel 11 Filter Media Mattress Material E-Z Treat synthetic sand filter employs a manufactured synthetic media which is encapsulated in a mattress like container measuring 7 % feet square by 2 feet thick. The mattress is fabricated from a non -biodegradable, chemically resistant, loose weave polypropylene material with a weave pattern at 90 degree intersections creating .078 square openings allowing effluent and air to flow freely while containing the media material.

Because of the exceptionally good air and liquid flow through this media the biological activity in the mattress is evenly distributed and after 16 months there are no signs of excessive bio mass growth that would clog the filter. Although it cannot be seen in these pictures each bead has some degree of biological activity on its surface, the lighter beads are covered with a clear growth mass that is only detectable to the touch. This demonstrates that properly designed systems, such as the E-Z Treat System, have the ability to use all of the media surface area therefore allowing much greater hydraulic loading rates than the traditional fine grained sand. There many factors that affords the enhanced performance, part is due to the fact that light weight media does not compact, restricting air and liquid flows, part is the size and consistency of the media beads, the pretreatment of the effluent and the overall configuration of the system. 19 NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ON -SITE WATER PROTECTION SECTION CONTROLLED DEMONSTRATION t_) WASTEWATER SYSTEM APPROVAL CONTROLLED DEMONSTRATION NO: CDWS-2006-02-R2 ISSUED TO: _i FOR: fi APPROVAL DATE Carl Perry E-Z Set Company, Inc. 11621 Thouroughfare Rd PO Box 176 Haymarket, VA 20168 Tel: 866-753-4770; Fax: 703-753-5043 E-Z Treat Treatment Systems May 8, 2006 January 25, 2006 December 5, 2007 In accordance with General Statute 130A-343, 15A NCAC 18A .1969 and .1970, a proposal by E-Z Set Company, Inc. for an updated approval of subsurface wastewater systems utilizing the E-Z Treat systems has been reviewed, and found to meet the standards of a Controlled Demonstration system when all of the following conditions are met: A.

The E-Z Treat treatment systems and associated drainfields shall be sited and sized in accordance with Rule .1970 for a TS-I or TS-II system. CDWS 2006-2-R2 December 5, 2007 Page 3 of 12 D. DESIGN CRITERIA 1. The E-Z Treat treatment systems and the corresponding soil absorption system shall be designed and sited in compliance with Rule .1970. 2. The E-Z Treat treatment system consists of a septic tank (sized by E-Z Set Company standards), a pump/recirculation tank (sized by E-Z Set Company standards), and E-Z Treat media pod(s). The E-Z Treat media pod Model 65 may accommodate a maximum of 650 gpd of residential wastewater. The Model 120 may accommodate a maximum of 1,200 gpd. Subsequent design shall limit the treatment to the prescribed square feet of media area/gpd. as per the following table: . Table 1 Design Flow Minimum Minimum Number of (gallons per day) Septic Tank Pump/ Media Pods Size (gallons) Recirculation Tank Size (gallons) < 500 1250 1250 1 E-Z 65Pod 4 Bedrooms 1500 1800 1 E-Z 65Pod 5 Bedrooms 1850 2000 1 E-Z 65Pod 6 Bedrooms 2000 2200 2 E-Z 65 Pods or 1E-Z 120 601 - 1500 V =1.67Q + V =1.67Q + 1 Pod per 500 500 650 gpd 1501 - 3000 V = 0.75Q + V = 0.75Q + 1 Pod per 1125 1125 650 gpd Note: Septic tanks sized based on liquid volume, pump/recirculation tanks based on total internal volume. Multiple septic tanks and pump/recirculation tanks may be used in series to acquire needed volume. a. All tanks shall meet State regulations and those of E-Z Set Company, made under E-Z Treat specifications. b. The Pump/Recirculation tank shall house the E-Z Treat Recirculation Chamber. c. An Effluent Bypass Valve shall be installed to transfer effluent from the media pod to the discharge chamber. CDWS 2006-2-R2 December 5, 2007 Page 4 of 12 d. A Spin Filter Assembly shall be provided by E-Z Set Company and installed to return slough off to the Return Area. e. Recirculation pump is either Sta-Rite Model number 3ODOM05121 or Sta-Rite Model number 30DOM05221. f. A Discharge Pump. shall be provided by E-Z Set Company for discharge to the next system component (dispersal field or holding tank). Different model pumps may be required to effectively charge the system. All model selections shall be approved by E-Z Set Company. g. The E-Z Treat media pod is constructed of 1/4 inch fiberglass with a smooth gel coat applied to the interior surfaces'. The pod is 7 ft 9 inches square having a surface area of 60 square feet and is 34 inches in-depth. The pod is fitted with a weatherproof cover secured with stainless steel screws. The pod is designed and constructed to receive ambient air flow through vent ports in the pod and under the lid. The pod is designed and constructed to; create channels down the sidewalls and across the bottom. The sidewall channels provide airspace to the bottom of the pod. The bottom channels provide total drainage of the treated effluent back to the recirculation chamber. Splash plates located at the top sidewalls prevent short-circuiting of the effluent. _ h. As the effluent enters the Pump/Recirculation Tank, the first compartment acts to further separate the septic tank effluent. The crossover through the baffle wall occurs at an elevation thatwill ensure a 24-hour emergency holding volume. The effluent entering the Recirculation Chamber is charged by the Recirculation Pump to the media pod. The effluent is sprayed over the media mattress using a spray manifold with 12 evenly spaced wide-angle spray nozzles. The nozzles are manufactured of brass with a free passage of 0.0625 diameter. The Recirculation Pump is housed in the Recirculation Chamber and doses at a rate of 2 minutes on, 4 minutes off. The resulting spray will deliver 20-25 gpm through the media pod for a total dose of 40 to 50 gallons. The unit is set for a maximum of 6 discharges per day. The system is set to recirculate effluent through the media pod on an average of 40 times prior to discharge. i. The effluent is sprayed onto a mattress measuring 7.75 feet square by 2 feet thick. The mattress is fabricated from a non -biodegradable, chemically resistant, loose weave polypropylene material. The openings in the weave allows for effluent and air flow while containing the media. The media inside the mattress is a uniform styrene (� material. The lightweight, non -biodegradable material spheres.have a specific gravity I J of approximately 0.02. The biological contact surface area of the media -filled mattress is 85,000 'square feet. The specific gravity of this material is (1) light enough to prevent compaction which results in a loss of effective surface area, and (2) provides a reduction in channeling across the media (short-circuiting). I' s CDWS 2006-2-R2 December 5, 2007 Page 5 of 12 n j. Effluent passes through the media and enters the channeled bottom of the pod. The effluent gravity feeds back to the Recirculation Tank through a 4-inch pipe. This effluent passes through the Spin Filter and slough is returned to the first compartment ' of the Pump/Recirculation Tank. The effluent from the Spin Filter continues to be recirculated. k. The Effluent Bypass Valve is piped to intercept filtered wastewater and deliver it to the recirculation chamber or the discharge chamber, based on liquid levels. 1. The Control Panel for the E-Z Treat System will consist of. (1) Recirculation pump load sensor/alarm, (2) two on/off timers, (3) discharge pump alarm, (4) high/low water alarm, and (5) RMSYS 300 Series monitoring system, and shall meet the requirements of .1952. i in,. RMSYS 300' Series Monitoring System provides 24/7 monitoring and notification. j This system is web -based and may be used to notify the operator, owner, and local health department of alarm notices. ! I n. The UV disinfection system will be the following: (1) E-Z Set UV System Model #1000 Other UV system may be specifically approved by the State. o. Buoyancy calculations shall be completed by a NC Professional Engineer for tanks and components if they are placed in a seasonal high water table, and additional ballast may be required. p. Influent samples shall be taken from a sampling port located between the septic tank and recirculation tank. Effluent samples shall be taken from a sampling port located downstream from the final treatment process. q. The 7-day and 30-day readings will be stored in'the RMSYS. 300 Series Control Panel. On intervals of 30 days, the panel will call the website and post the data. The ORC will be able to access this information, for 7-day and 30-day periods, from the web prior to the site visit. The E-Z Treat Control Panel with the RMSYS 300 Series Control Panel can be used for pressure manifold and LPP systems. The drip irrigation control panels specified in the drip irrigation approvals must be used for drip irrigations systems. 3. E-Z Treat Systems shall be designed by a certified designer or a NC Professional Engineer. Systems over 1,000 gallons per day shall be designed by a NC Professional Engineer. E.

Brooks Engineering Associates, PA Specifications BEA # 313408 7 Tinseltown RV Park J v 2.3 Primary Treatment System 2.3.1 Treatment System Overview The collection system will discharge into a 3,000 gallon septic/ surge tank and then to two additional 3,000 gallon septic tanks. Effluent from the third septic tank will flow into two bottom - connected pump tanks that act as the recirculation tank. Pipe boots at inlet and outlet connection locations are to be pre -cast and not cored. All tanks are set at the same elevation so water levels stay the same in each. The last recirculation tank contains duplex dosing pumps that dose six E-Z TreatTM fixed media filter pods, with an effective pod loading rate of 700 gpd per pod. The pod dosing system consists of duplex 1-1/2 HP Sta-RiteTM vertical turbine pumps provided by EtTM TreatT"' that dose two pods at once simultaneously at a rate of 50 gpm each. The timer settings are set for 2 minutes on, 2 minutes off for spraying the wastewater over the E-Z Treat pod media where attached growth bioattenuation provides BOD and TSS removal. Treated effluent gravity flows collectively from the effluent return lines from each fixed media filter pod to an effluent bypass/splitter valve located in the recirculation tank. The effluent bypass/recirculation valve will return a portion of the treated flows (3:1) to the recirculation tank r during low flow conditions (valve ball is unseated). During high flow conditions the valve will ass on 100% portion of the treated effluent to the disposal dose tank.. ,Two of the six pods have been plumbe always return to the second septic tank to increase denitrification. This results in a 1:2 recirculation ratio even during high flow events. 1 2.3.2 Tankage All tanks shall conform to criteria in 15A NCAC 18A .1952-.1954. The septic and recirculation tank should be installed on a 6-inch minimum layer of No. 57 washed stone aggregate. Any tanks with bottom connections shall have stone extend above the pipe connections. Place bell ends of pre -cast sections or the groove end of the concrete facing down. In preparation for making joints, all surfaces of the portion of the section to be jointed and the factory -made jointing materials shall be clean and dry. Each joint, seam, and pipe penetration inside and outside of joints shall receive liberal applications of non -shrink grout as well as liberal amounts of bitumastic waterproof sealant. Lifting holes and other penetrations of the pre -cast structure wall shall be sealed with non - shrinking grout.

Effluent values below 50 µg/L will be treated as zero for compliance purposes. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 1 of 16 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS Section A. Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. 3/Week Samples axe 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 Averao-e 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 Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar 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 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 Version 1011012007 1 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 16 ➢ 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. ➢ Petmittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every X hours [X = days detention time] over a 24-hour period. Effluent samples shall be collected 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 fox 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" for conventional and other non -toxicant parameters. NOTE: Permittees may not submit a "daily average" calculation [for determining compliance with permit limits] for toxicants. See the relevant Federal effluent guideline[s] for the appropriate calculation interval. 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). _DWO 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 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).

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 limit 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 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.

Typically, there are two motor styles: CODE G requires 3 times running watts to start, and CODE L requires 5 to 6 times running watts to start. It is not practical to think that all loads will start at the same time. Nor is it practical to size a generator using all starting watts for all selected motors, as some motor loads will already be running (or OFF), when others are ready to start. As you can see, it can be difficult t0 exactly size a generator for a group of specific loads, as they are constantly changing in their "ON" or "OFF" cycle.

After approximately 314 -1-1/2 seconds, j J the starting winding drops out, and the running,winding continues, at a much lower power demand. A generator must be sized to handle the load of the starting winding. ~' Chart A determines a motor code letter (found on all motor nameplates), which allows calculation of starting amps, or better known as y locked rotor amps (LRA). If motor code is not available, use Chart B for code estimate. Following are formulae and examples: Sizing a generator for single phase motor starting LRA: The formula is: Motor HP x KVA per HP x (1000 / Motor Voltage) = LRA. Example: A 17 3/4 HP, Code L motor connected to 240 Volts, requires what LRA? Refer to Chart A, and find Code L. Always use the largest KVAIHP number, so select 9.9. The formula becomes:.75 x 9.9 x (10001240) = 7.4250.167 = 30.9 = 31 LRA. The generator must produce 31 Amps at 240 Volts, to safely start this motor. Multiply 31 amps x 240 Volts = 7400 Watts or 7.5 KW generator size. Sizing a generator for three phase motor starting LRA: The formula is: Motor HP x KVA per HP x (1000 / (Volts x 1.73)) = LRA. Example: A ti 20 HP Code G motor connected to 460 Volts requires what LRA? Refer to Chart A and select 6.29 KVA/HP, from Chart A, for Code G. The 4 formula becomes: 20 x 6.29 x (1000 / (460 x 1.73)) = 125.8 x 1.26 = 158.6 = 169 LRA. The generator must produce 159 Amps at 460 Volts, to I safely start this motor. Use formula: 1.73 x Volts x Amps x .8 11000 for generator KW size. BOTH SINGLE PHASE AND THREE PHASE MOTOR SIZING EXAMPLES ARE BASED ON INFORMATION IN NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE HANDBOOK, ARTICLE 430.7 AND IS INTENDED FOR MAXIMUM VOLTAGE DIP OF 25% UPON INITIAL MOTOR START-UP. IF 35% VOLTAGE DIP IS ALLOWABLE, REDUCE LRA, THEREFORE KW SIZE, BY 25% (LRA or KW X .75), WE DO NOT RECOMMEND ANY GENERATOR KW SIZING THAT YIELDS MORE THAN 35% VOLTAGE DIP. Chan B can be used as a motor code estimate, when actual motor code is not available. Chart C can be used as a quick reference for all Code G Motors. Chart D shows various generator formulas that may be of use. Chart E shows wire gauge for extension cords, used with various load amps and distances. Starting more than one motor, at one time: make a list of all motors, totaling all running watts. Calculate the starting demand when the largest motor is started while all others are running. Add the largest motor starting watts, to the running watts of all smaller motors already running. As shown by selection chart, air conditioning starting watts have the largest demand load. It may be wise to dis-card air conditioner use, during blackouts, to keep your generator kw size, smaller. �j <PREV1 C7L1 S Gillette Generators, Inc.

This lower surface requirement is chiefly due to the higher wastewater temperature, but the fact that the influent BOD5 levels were lower may also have caused a higher proportion of nitrifiers to be present in the trickling filter's surface film. In the case of Lima, Ohio, the influent to the nitrification stage is produced by a step aeration activated sludge plant.

This would have affected the proportion of heterotrophic bacteria in the bacterial film, causing higher surface requirements for nitrification at Sunnyvale, California than at Midland, Michigan. Available data with rock media is more sparse and is summarized in Table 4-16 in terms of ammonia oxidized per unit volume. Rock media is capable of ammonia oxidation at only 15 to 50 percent of the plastic media rate:, on a volumetric load basis. The principal reason for this is undoubtedly the rock media's lower specific surface, although the lower depth of the typical rock filter may also have a role to play. 12,000 0 w O C'1 Q 4, 000 W cc IKZ 2,000 tJ FIGURE 4-16 m !f VS 0 (roA 1C IKV) SURFACE AREA REQUIREMENTS FOR NITRIFICATION - LIMA, OHIO @ 4 7 to 11 C Midland, DataC 13 to 19 C� 14 Data point ignored in trend line 18 to 22 C O Lima, Ohio Key-Lima,Ohio Data o T = 18 to 22 C i] T= 10C 1, U 2.0 - 3.0 4.0 EFFLUENT AMMONIA — N, m911 4-65 5.0 6.0 under average daily loading conditions should be multiplied by the ratio of peak ammonia load to average load to establish design surface area.

In all of these systems, relatively complex and lengthy mass balances are necessary to describe the system. None -the -less, such descriptions are possible andhave been developed for two of the alternating a6robic/anoxic systems.61,69 These models are presented in sufficient detail in the literature to allow their modification for use in design. Iterative solution of equations is required, and the digital computer has proven a useful design tool.69 The limitation of these models is that generally applicable kinetic rate data are not yet available. 5-57 ATTACHMENTS 5 Attachment A — EZ-Treat Cut -Sheets Attachment B — Cut -Sheets for Dellinger Concrete Tanks Attachment C - Cut -Sheets for EZ-Set UV Units (; Attachment D - Cut -Sheets for Back -Up Generators & Transfer Switch ATTACHMENT A RE E mZ t"R- E'ATMEN T SY STEM I I section I E-Z Treat Technology E-Z tTrea� t pprrSyn"em As the U.S. EPA document "Technology Assessment of Intermittent Sand Filters" states: " Intermittent sand filter filtration of wastewater is not new technology" the concept was employed in the U.S. in the mid-1800's. "Intermittent sand filters are ideally suited to rural community clusters, small cluster homes, individual homes and business establishments. They can achieve advanced secondary or even tertiary levels of treatment consistently with a minimum of attention." (Anderson, et al, 1985) The EPA points out that sand filters operate reliably in a trouble free manner and the technology is very "fail safe" in that it is inherently stable. The biology of the system is quite diverse, typically including many tropluc levels of microorganisms, and some macro organisms. (Galaw et al, 1952, Calaway, 1957) These characteristics render the process inherently resistant to upset and also allow it to readily accommodate -' sanitations where.loading is highly non -uniform. The major failure mode of the biofiltration process is clogging of the filter bed at the surface. Even when clogging has proceeded to the point of surface pondl_ng the 'effluent quality typically does not degrade significantly. The clogging, which is typically a slow long term process, is largely a surface phenomenon and can be quickly regenerated by simply raking the surface. Once the, filter has been rehabilitated the treatment process is immediately back in working order. This is in stark contrast to activated sludge technology. That process is affected by few uophic levels of aerobic organisms suspended in the liquid and living in concentrations that far exceed those found in nature. The environment of that liquid mass must be tightly controlled or else lihd b Y � process v,Till be upset. Once the activated sludge process goes oil track it often takes it considerable time to recover. These contrasting characteristics, dictate that biofiltration technology is far better suited for use in small- scale systems, where continuous attention to the treatment process is typically not affordable. To enhance the efficiency of biofiltration technology —and thus promote its broader use —"advanced" design concepts which render the process more -efficient, and even more highly reliable than the."basic" concept, can be employed. The derivation and exhibition of those concepts is the basis of the E-Z Treat System. A major observation in the University Florida studies was the impact of loading frequency. It was found that, all other factors remaining equal, splitting the daily load into two doses increased removal efficiencies and allowed sands of a given size to be loaded more heavily. (Grantham, et al, 1949). This led to further investigations of more frequent loadings. The conclusion of these studies was that more frequent loadings can allow higher loading rates to be readily accommodated with no degradation in treatment and without premature clogging of the filter. (Furman, et al, 1955) Another major observation was the effect of media size on allowable loading rate, and the interaction of this parameter with loading frequency. For filters employing larger media, treatment performance was observed to improve with more frequent loadings, even when higher hydraulic loading rates were applied. 01 E-Z Treat System Technology A filter with an effective sand size of 1.04 mm—somewhat larger than the 0.2 to 0.4 mm effective size typically employed in sand filters to that point —demonstrated a 96% BOD5 removal efficiency when loaded once per hour at a rate of 13.8 gai/Oday (55.2 cm/day), a huge increase over the rates typically employed. This contrasted with a removal efficiency of only 70-80% at loading rates ranging from 4.02 to 9.76 gal/Oday (16.1-39.0 cm/day) when the filter bed was only loaded twice per day. Two other filters with smaller sands-0.44 mm and 0.46 mm effective size —had BOD5 removal efficiencies ranging from 80% to 93% when loaded twice per day at hydraulic loading rates ranging from 2.87 to 7.46 gal/fe/day (11.5-29.8 cm/day). When loading frequency on these filters was increased to 4 times per day at a 4 hydraulic loading rate of 6.89 gal/A'/day (27.5 cm/day), removal efficiencies elevated to 95-97%. (Furman, et al, 1955) Mitchell (1986) demonstrated the ability of sand filters to accommodate elevated loading rates when the influent is septic tank effluent that has been pretreated by passing through an anaerobic upz`low filter. Four sand filters, each containing media of 0.52 mm effective size, were loaded at rates of 1.5, 3, 9 and 15 gal/Oday (6, 12, 36, 60 cm/day). Loading frequency was not reported. Filter influent averaged 85 mg/1 of BOD5, and the effluent from all four filters was below 5 mg/1 throughout the 6-month study period, a removal rate of over 94%. At 15 gal/fi /day (60 cm/day), organic loading rate was 0.011 lb BODs/J. /day. While influent levels were not reported, TSS concentrations in the effluents were less than 3 mg/1 throughout the study period. Mitchell reported that there was no evidence of clogging in any of the filters. He offered the opinion that such a system could operate indefinitely without needing filter bed maintenance at 8 gaUft'/day (32 cm/day), and could probably do so at -rates in excess of 15 gal/f'/day (60 cm/day). "Allowable [hydraulic] loading rates increase with the degree of pretreatment". (Mitchell, 1987) The Washington Island project also confirmed the observations of the Florida studies (and many other efforts over the last two decades—e.g., Swanson & Dix, 1987, Sandy, 1987, Piluk, 1989) that treatment efficiency can be maintained when employing coarser media if loading is frequent and uniform over the - diurnal cycle. Three of these systems employed a very coarse gravel media in the size range of 1/4"--3/8" (6-9.5 mm) yet still provided superior performance. When using coarse media, it becomes critically important to load the biofilter as uniformly as practical over its entire surface. While fine media filters present sufficient resistance to infiltration that a rapidly loaded dose would spread over the bed surface even if loaded at a single point, coarse media filters will cause no such spread from the point of application, at least not until significant clogging had developed at that point. When that occurs, adjacent areas would receive all the flow until they too clogged, and so on, until this "progressive failure" resulted in the whole bed becoming clogged. While many practitioners employ perforated headers to distribute influent, a practical header system would only provide a more "fine-grained" array of point loadings, still wasting a significant portion of the bed surface. Maximum efficiency is achieved by a spray distribution system. The partial aeration of the wastewater imparted by spray distribution is also beneficial to the treatment process, as detailed by Pilule (1988). E-Z Treat System Technology Another basic design parameter is media depth. Design criteria generally recommend a filter bed depth of 24-36 inches (61-91 cm) when using a porous media. The Florida studies showed that most of the purification is affected within the top 9-12 inches (23-30 cm) of the media. More recent work by Tchobanoglous (1999) indicates that not only is strength of the applied influent important, but reducing particle size in the wastewater can have a dramatic impact on treatment efficiency. Tchobanoglous asserts that this is because smaller particles are more quickly digested by the biota of the filter bed, in essence more quickly "freeing up" those microbes to digest particles carried into the filter by the next dose. This factor urges the use of prefiltration devices that exclude large particles in the high- performance biofltration process. Introduced by Nines and Favreau, recirculation was initially used to minimize odors when dosing open sand filters with septic tank effluent. (Nsnes & Favreau, 1975, Teske, 1979) It was immediately observed that recirculation also improved treatment efficiency. This is due in part to the more uniform loading schedule that -recirculation can impart. The major factor, however, is dilution of the filter influent strength imparted by mixing forward flow with recirculation flow. It turns out that design features that would enhance biofilter treatment efficiency in regard to BOD5 and TSS removal and would allow it to be more heavily loaded also generally promote a high degree of nitrification —the conversion of ammonium -nitrogen in the wastewater to the nitrate form. This is a prerequisite for eliminating nitrogen from the wastewater by denitrification—the conversion of nitrate to nitrogen gas, which bubbles off into the atmosphere. A number of works have explored the use of modified re -circulating biofilter concepts to erect removal of nitrogen from wastewater by clever manipulation of the nitrogen cycle. Denitrification requires an anaerobic environment and an adequate food source for the denitrifiers. Nitrified biofilter effluent is routed through the anaerobic "front end" of the.system, where these conditions are met, and denitrification occurs as the re -circulated water flows through it. It had been observed that some degree of aenitriftcation occurs in the conventional recirculating biofilter process when re -circulated effluent mixes with septic tank effluent in the dosing tank_. (Pilule, 1985) Modifications of that process aim to provide a better anoxic environment to increase the degree of denitrification. The E-Z Treat System incorporates technology resulting from years of independent research in re- circulation sand biofilteration. Our system applies each area of this technology in a pre -packaged system, insuring consistent in the field performance as to SOD reductions, TSS reductions and Denitrification. E- Z Treat System addresses media size and composition, drainage and ventilation, optimum dosing cycles per hour, depth of filter media, pre-treatment of effluent, pre -filtering of effluent to insure particle size, even distribution of effluent over the media and piping design that optimize treatment within the system.

Manually tam on the discharge pump and lower the liquid level in the recirculation cylinder, the liquid level in the first chamber of the tank should remain at the outlet pipe. There should be no leakage -from one compartment to the other. 4. Check each compartment for solids build up and pump the chambers if necessary. 5. Check the re -circulation cylinder for solids build up. If the solids in the cylinder are greater than 2 inches, pump those solids into the inlet side of the septic tank. 6. Check the 4 inlet holes in the bottom of the re -circulation cylinder should be fee -from solids build up and fee flowing. Clean if necessary. 7. Clean the Spin Filter, following the jnstructions as provided by the filter manufacturer. Check the orifice in the ball valve to ensure it is clean and clear of obstructions. When finished with the spin filers cleaning make sure the ball valve on the spin alter is tuned and left in the closed position. 8. Verif�r that all the floats are in good condition, properly secured to the float bracket and are able to move -freely within the re -circulation tank. 9. Verify the floats are operational by manually liidng them to simulate the systems normal operation 10.Observe the system as it re -circulates. Visually verify all flows tbru. the system. 11. Properly reinstall and secure all tank accesses! E-Z Treat Vessel The E-Z Treat Vessel should be inspected to ensure it is operating properly. Remove the vessel cover to perform this inspection. 1. Check for odor, the system may have an earthy or musty smell, there should be no strong or offensive odors present. 2. Observe the spray distribution nozzles during operation. If a nozzles appear to be clogged or if the spray pattern is not uniform, remove the nozzle and clean the nozzle. 3. Record the pressure reading on the distribution manifold gauge. Compare that pressure to the pressure recorded at installation. If the pressure is too high, open the ball valves at the end of the lines and blow out the distribution lines. If the pressure is too low perform a flow test on the recirculation pump. 4. Mari^ the liquid level in the treatment vessel by looking down the ventilation troughs, the liquid level should be 2 to 3 inches below the treatment mattress. 33 C Operation and If a y' kq t n ce 1 L 1:11 91Y TREATMENT SYSThM 1-703-753-4770 5. Visually inspect the treatment mattress for holes, tears, loose seams and areas of ponding on the mattress surface. 6. Dote the appearance of the aggregate in the proper paperwork and compare the current appearance to that described in earlier service reports. Control Panel/Pumps/Alarms 1. Check pump operations. Place the system in the manual mode and check the operation of the two pumps, Then switch the system back into automatic mode and check the operation with the floats. 2. Check the voltage and motor amp draw and record the readings. If the readings are beyond the limits of the YEC recommendations, have an electrician check the service line and the pumps. 3. Verify all timer and float settings to insure they are the same as set at system start-up. If the settings have change, check the system records to identify the time of the change. If no change is noted 1n the records, notify E-Z Set for instructions. A. Confirm the operation of all visual and audible alarms on the system. Make sure the alarms perform in accordance with the original settings. Once the alarms have been triggered, verify the operation of the telemetry unit by checking the alarm notations on the website.

Brooks Engineering Associates, �PA Specifications BEA # 313408 7 Tinseltown RV Park ii 2.3 Primary Treatment System 2.3.1 Treatment System Overview The collection system will discharge into a 3,000 gallon septic/ surge tank and then to two additional 3,000 gallon septic tanks. Effluent from the third septic tank will flow into two bottom - connected pump tanks that act'as the recirculation tank. Pipe boots at inlet and outlet connection locations are to be pre -cast and not cored. All tanks are set at the same elevation so water levels stay the same in each. The last recirculation tank contains duplex dosing pumps that dose six E-Z Treat TM fixed media filter pods, with an effective pod loading rate of 700 gpd per pod. The pod dosing system consists of duplex 1-1/2 HP Sta-RiteT". vertical turbine pumps provided by E-Z TreatTM that dose two pods at once simultaneously at a rate of 50 gpm each. The timer settings are set for 2 minutes on, 2. minutes off for spraying the wastewater over the E-Z Treat pod media where attached growth bioattenuation provides BOD and TSS removal. Treated effluent gravity flows collectively from the effluent return lines from each fixed media filter pod to an effluent bypass/splitter valve located in the recirculation tank. The effluent bypass/recirculation valve will return a portion of the treated flows (3:1) to the recirculation tank during low flow conditions (valve ball is unseated). During high flow conditions the valve will pass on 100% portion of the treated effluent to the disposal dose tank. Two of the six pods have been plumbed always return to the second septic tank to increase denitrification. This results in a 1:2 recirculation ratio even during high flow events. 2.3.2 Tankage (� All tanks shall conform to criteria in 15A NCAC 18A .1952-.1954. The septic and recirculation F1 1 tank should be installed on a 6-inch minimum layer of No. 57 washed stone aggregate._ Any �_! tanks with bottom connections shall have stone extend above the pipe connections.

Annual Average y 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. �l I Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass !-- The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. �l < < Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 4 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. j 1 Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (i) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. t— (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 internal 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 ` Version 1011012007 i NPDES Permit Standard Conditioiis Page 2 of 16, ➢ 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 X hours [X = days detention time] over a 24-hour period. Effluent samples shall be collected at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24- hour sampling period. ti Continuous flow measurement ti 7 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 -� ring a calendar day or any 24 hour period that reasonably represents the The discharge of a pollutant measured du 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.

Wastewater Hauler's Discharge Permit 1.0 Purpose & Scope This Operations & Maintenance Manual is developed as a guideline for general daily, weekly, monthly, and annual operations and maintenance of the 4,200 gpd wastewater treatment system and surface discharge system. This plan is developed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0138. This O&M Manual references the engineering plans and specifications and is not intended to be a stand-alone document. It should be utilized in conjunction with the engineering plans and specifications along with the equipment manufacturer's recommendations. The operations will need to be amended as necessary by the licensed operator to insure efficient operation of the systems and protect against water quality permit violations. No equipment changes to the system(s) shall be made without the expressed consent of the project engineer and the manufacturer. Doing so may void the respective warranty. The WWTF must be operated and maintained in accordance with the NPDES Permit conditions. Refer to the current permit for operation, monitoring, and reporting requirements. Operation & Maintenance Manual 1 Tinseltown RV Park Brooks Engineering Associates, PA 2.0 Wastewater Treatment System 2.1 INTRODUCTION General This manual has been written to provide operating procedures for an EZ-Treat Recirculating Media Filter wastewater treatment plant. This manual provides the plant operator with a reference guide. The provided plant consists of 9,000 gallons of septic tankage and 6,000 gallons of recirculation tankage. Three (3) 3,000 gallon septic tanks in series are utilized to meet the septic tankage requirements. Two (2) 3,000 gallon pump tanks should be plumbed together at the bottom to function as one 6,000 gallon recirculation tank. Six EZ-Treat Model 65 media filters,and all appropriate valves and appurtenances are included in the design.

C 15 - 22 17 - 24 H 1to14 6-8 6-8 Process Description The raw sewage from each of the 42 RV sites flows via gravity collection system (designed by others) into a 3,000 gallon septic/ surge tank with two compartments where solids settle and fats, oils, and greases are separated. Effluent passes through a Zabel A100-12x23-VC before leaving the. first septic tank. Effluent from the first septic tank flows into the second 3,000 gallon septic tank, and then into the third 3,000 gallon septic tank. Effluent then flows into the 6,000 gallons of recirculation tankage where duplex pumps dose the six EZ-treat filter media pods.- Two pods are dosed simultaneously. Doses to the pods are automatically sequenced via the use of a hydraulically actuated multizone valve. Filtrate from four of the EZ-Treat filter media Brooks Engineering Associates, PA Operation & Maintenance Manual 2 Tinseltown RV Park -pass valve allows pods returns to the by-pass valve located in the recirculation tank. The by f i 100% of the filtrate to recirculate back into the recirculation tank during periods of low flow. { I Two of the six pods drain back directly to the second septic tank at the WWTF to enhance denitrification. The second septic tank is anticipated to have a higher organic carbon I concentration to provide for electron acceptors in the denitrification process. Filtrate bypassing the splitter valve will flow to the U.V. disinfection and will ultimately discharge to surface waters when the ball in the by-pass valve is seated. Effluent not being recirculated flows by gravity through the U.V. disinfection unit which has six bulbs, (three bulbs are capable of disinfecting the wastewater). The disinfected effluent is discharged to surface waters via gravity flow. Excess scum and sludge in ;the septic tanks may periodically need to be removed for disposal in accordance with:the Residuals Management Plan, which is provided in Section 4 of this manual. Nutrient Monitoring - While the current permit does not limit the amount of nutrients that can be present in the —1 effluent, nitrogen levels must be monitored to ensure the treatment system is operating j I properly. While there are currently no: permit limits for nitrogen the Total Nitrogen levels. in the effluent should be less than 20 mg/I and ammonia levels should be less than 6 mg/l. The amount of ammonia'is. governed by the efficiency of the nitrification process. Ammonia and nitrate fluctuation will result from a variety of factors, such as; (1) temperature; (2). pH/Alkalinity; (3) dissolved oxygen concentration (i.e. recirculation ratios); (4) hydraulic and organic application rates; (5) influent ammonia concentrations; and (6) whether or not an { excessive amount of chemicals or cleaning compounds, toxic to microbial life, have been -' inadvertently disposed in the waste stream. Sufficient alkalinity must be present to buffer the acidity created during nitrification. This prevents the pH from dropping to a point that degrades biological activity;(<6). Should ammonia levels be high, increased nitrification is necessary. Dissolved oxygen levels in pod filtrate should be checked along with influent nitrogen levels. Increased aeration via'a mechanical measure may be necessary. Should nitrate levels be high, alkalinity or carbon source may be deficient. These levels should be checked in,the recirculation. tank. Chemical feeds to adjust alkalinity or carbon levels may be necessary. Brooks Engineering Associates, PA Operation & Maintenance Manual 3 Tinseltown RV Park 2.2 PROCESSES & COMPONENTS Influent Composition To ensure the plant's trouble free operation, it is essential that any materials that can harm the treatment biology such as, but not limited to: the following are not present in the influent. • Oil and fat (in concentrations higher than 30 mg/1) • Paints and paint thinner • Acids and alkalis • Petroleum products • High strength cleaners and detergents • Large quantities of chlorine (e.g. pool chlorine) To reduce the frequency or!eliminate the need for cleaning material debris from the screening device, it is recommended that the following material be kept out of the influent wastewater. • Plastic material • Rubber materials �- Polystyrenes -� •. Sanitary napkins SAFETY AND PERSONAL, HYGIENE The following are general guidelines on safety and hygiene. Refer to and always follow state and local regulations where possible. SAFETY i Access to the WWTF is limited by either a locked fence enclosure and/or locking accesses such as lids to all vaults, tanks, pods, and panels. Keys should be kept with the owner and operator. Safe work habits include good habits, good safety equipment, and good training. Safety equipment should include but not be limited to the following: 4 • Rubber lined gloves • Safety glasses with protection against splashing Brooks Engineering Associates, PA Operation & Maintenance Manual 4 Tinseltown RV Park • Safety harness and rope to be used whenever working around tanks • Rubber boots and rubber protective clothing • Gas detectors I r When working on equipment, ensure that power is disconnected before accessing equipment working components. Switches should be locked out to prevent accidental start �i of equipment. When working within confined spaces and tanks it is important to test for toxic gases and vent the space prior to entry;. A team approach is essential. A standby operator to raise the alarm and assist in the recovery of personnel in the event of accident should be present. Under no circumstances should the standby operator enter the confined space if problems r exist. f i PERSONAL HYGIENE Raw sewage and streams from various stages of the treatment plant contain human pathogenic organisms. Without limiting the forthcoming it is essential that anyone coming into contact with sewage from any stage of the process take precautions to prevent exposure to any human pathogenic organisms present. 1 4 • Wash hands with disinfectant soap before eating,. drinking, smoking, etc • Wear long sleeved shirts and trousers to prevent sewage contact with skin • Wear safety glasses • Never store or consume food and drink in close proximity to sewage or'sewage samples and never store samples in the same refrigerator as food and drinks. • Remove clothing splashed or wet with sewage and exchange for clean as soon as possible; wash with disinfectant soap. • Ensure that cuts and abrasions are immediately treated with antiseptic and suitably covered. i Brooks Engineering Associates, PA Operation & Maintenance Manual �� 5 Tinseltown RV Park 2.3 MAINTENANCE Monthly Maintenance Once a month, during the first year of operation, make a visual inspection of the recirculation/ blend liquid level. The liquid level should never be lower than the "Redundant Off' float. A watertight tank is important and any leakage must be corrected. Read the hour meters and event counters for the recirculation/ blend and dosing tank's pumps once a month. Each pump should run approximately the same number of hours and turn on approximately the same number of times as their operating counterpart. If the run and/ or cycle times differ significantly between pumps, determine the cause of the discrepancy and take corrective measures. Manually operate a pump in, each recirculation/ blend tank duplex pumping unit through three cycles and ensure that the distributing valve is operating properly by observing that - effluent squirts from each successive pod. I Quarterly Maintenance ; Testing for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BODA Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG), Ammonia (NH3), Nitrate (NO3) and pH should be done according to regulatory requirements. If regulatory requirements are not present, samples should be taken quarterly for the first year to establish a baseline. Subsequent testing after the first year may be reduced based on the establishment of this baseline. Regular samples will provide valuable information for ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting. Effluent testing procedures may be found in the EZ-Treat® O&M Manual provided upon installation. Ali a results obtained should be reported to the appropriate people. For the first year only, check voltages and amperages of all pumps and record them on a Field Maintenance Report form. Refer to the start up voltages and amperages recorded during the system start up. ; If the voltage drop or amperage exceeds National Electric Code (NEC). requirements, have an electrician verify the service line and check pump windings. If Brooks Engineering Associates, PA Operation'& Maintenance Manual 6 Tinseltown RV Park I i { there is no discernible difference in voltage -or amperage, this procedure may be performed annually. Semi -Annual Maintenance Inspect the spray of the nozzles in the EZ-TreatO pods. Observe and measure the residual pressure. Refer back to the: initial measurements of residual pressure recorded during the system start up. If the observed residual pressure exceeds the initial residual pressure by more than 15-20%, it can be assumed that a significant number of.nozzles are plugged and the laterals require'flushing.1 Flush the laterals by opening the ball valves at the end of each lateral. Turn the pump on MAN and let it run to flush any material from the lateral. Repeat . for each lateral. Recheck the residual pressure to ensure that the laterals have been sufficiently cleared. If there is still a significant difference in initial and current residual pressure, try either a bottle brush attached to the�end of a plumber's snake or a high-pressure washer to clean the laterals. Nozzles may also be cleaned individually by -removing the nozzle and soaking in'TSP or any other approved cleaning agent for 30 minutes. When a nozzle is clear, you can see the spray distribute, evenly across the polystyrene media. If the nozzles are substantially plugged after six months, then it may be prudent to inspect the residual pressure every three months and adjust scheduled testing and flushing of the laterals accordingly. Visually inspect the bypass waive and verify that the liquid level in the tank is with in the normal range. Consult the design plans for proper operating level. If low, the ball mechanism could be jammed in the seated position. Remove, disassemble, and inspect. If high, the bypass valve may; require cleaning because it is not making a tight seal when seated. Remove, disassemble, and inspect. Annual Maintenance Measure the scum and sludge accumulation in all tanks annually. 1. Measuring the scum layer. Using a scum utility measuring gauge or similar tool, measure the thickness of the scum layer. With this measurement, determine if the Brooks Engineering Associates, PA Operation & Maintenance Manual 7 Tinseltown RV Park 1 distance from the bottom of the scum layer at the liquid's lowest normal level and to the bottom of the effluent filter is 3" or less. If so, it's time to pump out the contents j from the tank (scum, sludge, and liquid completely 2. Measuring the sludge layer. Using a sludge judge, or similar tool, measure the thickness of the sludge layer. With this measurement, determine if the distance from the top surface of the sludge to the bottom of the effluent filter is 6" or less. If so, again, it's time to pump out the contents from the tank (scum, sludge, and liquid completely. If the tank is fitted with a pump vault or effluent filter discharge 17 assembly, measurement will be from the top surface of the sludge layer to the bottom of the vault's inlet ports (see Figure 1). After removing the septage contents from the tank, refill it with water to its normal operating level. J 4 Flush the laterals on an annual basis. The laterals should be flushed at least once per year regardless of the inspected pressures. Once a year, send copies of the complete activity i—� diary to the appropriate person. This information is very valuable for analysis and trouble shooting if problems should occur. l ! Check voltages and amperages of all pumps and record them on a Field Maintenance Report form. Refer to the start up voltages and amperages recorded during start up. If the voltage drop or amperage.exceeds National Electric Code (NEC) requirements, have an electrician verify the service line and check pump windings. The pumping system should be inspected annually to ensure that they are operating properly. Unscrew the stainless steel bolts that fasten the plastic lid over the pumping equipment. Remove the plastic lid for an inspection that includes these steps: a. Verify that there are, no obvious holes or leaks in the riser or around the perimeter of the riser connection -to the tank. Wetness or watermarks may be an indication of ;I weeping. b. Inspect splice box to ensure that it is free of water. Ensure lid and connections are secure. c. Verify that floats are in good condition and properly secured to the float tree. Verify ;I that the float cords are neatly wrapped inside the riser so that they cannot interfere with the operation of the floats. d. Verify float operation. Refer to the Start -Up float tests. Brooks Engineering Associates, PA Operation & Maintenance Manual 8 Tinseltown RV Park it it Corrective Maintenance An alarm is triggered when the liquid in the tank reaches a level that is either higher or lower than it should be, under normal operating conditions. When responding to an alarm, first discern whether a high- or low-level- condition or pump failure has caused the alarm. If it is due to pump failure, test each pump manually and locate the failed pump. Replace the. pump using the manufacturer recommendations. Remove the access riser lid and visually inspect the liquid level. If a high liquid level has caused the alarm, follow the ensuing procedures. If a low liquid level caused the condition, see Low Liquid Level Alarm. High Liquid Level Alarm �- 1. Discern if the High Water Alarm is from higher than expected usage (i.e. special event etc.) If there is a long term increase in flows, then timer settings need to be -� adjusted accordingly. ii 2. Visually inspect the bypass valve and verify that the liquid level in the tank is within the normal range. Consult the design plans for proper operating level. If high, the ,r bypass valve may require cleaning because it is not making a tight seal when seated. Remove, disassemble, and inspect. 3. When a high liquid level is present, first check the circuit breakers, switches, and fuses in the system control panel. If separate breakers in the main panel were used for the pumps and controls, also check these breakers. If a breaker is found to be r tripped. Reset the breaker and observe the operation for continuous tripping. If tripping does not recur, the problem has likely been found or corrected itself. Test the automatic function of the system to verify proper operation. 4. If, after checking the circuit breakers, fuses, and switches, the pump still does not operate, move the MOA switch to MAN. If the pump engages, the problem is likely in �I the float system. If the motor contactor engages, but the pump doesn't run, go to step 9. Pump the tank down to a level below the "Override Timer On/OFF" float. --1 Cycle the pump to simulate the timer on and off periods so that the effluent is dosed to different zones of the EZ-Treat® system. Return the MOA switch to AUTO. Do not leave a pump in the MAN position unattended. If you do, the pump can continue -, to operate without liquid, possibly drawing solids to the filter and causing potential failure problems. F-1 Brooks Engineering Associates, PA Operation & Maintenance Manual 9 Tinseltown RV Park I , i I a IMPORTANT! Before doing any work on either the wiring to the level control floats and pump or in the pump control panel, switch off the power to the system at the service entrance panel, set the circuit breakers in the panel to their "OFF" positions. i 5 Isolate the float switches and check to ensure all floats are operating properly. If a float is found to be faulty, refer it according the manufacturer's recommendations. ~� 6. Check pumps for discharge flow. Close the ball valve, disconnect the union in the discharge plumbing assembly and turn the union so that it is facing down. Engage the pump and visually inspect the approximate flow rate being discharged. If you are unsure of the discharge rate, measure the time it takes to fill a five -gallon bucket with I the discharge. Check this value against the appropriate pump curve. If the flow rate is insufficient, the pump may need to be cleaned. Refer to the Pump Repair Manual. 7. If the pump operates; in the proper flow range, check all downstream valves to ensure that they are 'in the open position. If the valves are all open, test the discharge pressure of the pump. Refer to the pump repair manual for testing pumps. 8. Check the panel to verify that the motor contactor engages. If it engages, but the pump doesn't operate, then it is .either a pump failure or a bad electrical connection. IMPORTANT! Before doing any work on either the wiring to the level control floats and pump or in the pump control panel, switch .off the power to the system at the _ service entrance panel, set the circuit breakers in the panel to their "OFF" positions. 9. Remove the access iriser lid and the stainless steel screws from the splice box lid, being careful not to drop the screws into the tank. If the splice box was submerged, - or if there is a crack yin the conduit, there may be water in the splice box. If this is the case remove the water with a syringe or other appropriate method. Carefully check the splices to ensure that they are intact and remain watertight. If all splices are found to be watertight, replace the splice box lid. In the control panel, carefully tug - on each wire going to the splice box. Correct any wires that are loose. Reactivate and retest the system. 10. If the system operates but can't keep up with the flow, check the system for water 7 tightness. A leaking tank can infiltrate enough water to overcome the pump. Also check for leaking fixtures in the home, though it is unlikely that a leaky fixture could provide enough liquid to over come the pump. I � , Brooks Engineering Associates, PA Operation & Maintenance Manual l 10 Tinseltown RV Park �_r Low Liquid Level Alarm 1. Determine the actual flows in the system. If the flows are considerably less ,than the timer is set for, then adjust the timer settings to match current flows.. If low level exists in the drainfieltl pump basin, then ensure that the minimum runtime is appropriately set. 2. The tank may be siphoning. Inspect the liquid level in the tank. If the liquid level is below the "Redundant Off/Low Level Alarm" float, then likely the problem is either a �4 leaky tank or siphoning. Siphoning typically occurs when the system is pumping f downhill. A system will not necessarily, siphon every time it operates. It is dependent on the system design. A siphoning system can be retrofitted with an anti -siphon valve. Most siphoning problems will manifest in the first months of operation. 3. If the hydraulics of the system do not allow for siphoning, then it is likely that the tank 1 is leaking. Fill the tank to a normal operating level and return to inspect the tank at a later time. If the liquiid level is below the normal operating level, the tank is leaking and needs to be repaired or replaced. 4. Visually inspect the bypass valve and verify that the liquid level in the tank is within �the normal range. Consult the design plans for proper operating level. If. low, the ball mechanism could be jammed in the seated position. Remove, disassemble, and j inspect. Removing and Replacing Inoperative Pumps IMPORTANT! Before doing any work on either the wiring to the level control floats and pump or in the pump control panel, switch off the power to the system at the I service entrance panel, set the circuit breakers in the panel to their "OFF" positions. 1. Close the ball valve;on the discharge plumbing assembly, disconnect the union, and carefully remove the pump and attached plumbing from the tank. Disconnect the pump from the discharge plumbing assembly. 2. Remove the stainless steel screws from the splice box lid, being careful not the drop the screws into the tank. If the splice box was submerged, or if there is a crack in the conduit, there may be water in the splice box. If this is the case, remove the water with a syringe or other appropriate method. Loosen the cord grip at the splice box it � t Brooks Engineering Associates, PA Operation & Maintenance Manual Tinseltown RV Park 11 � " 1� I I and identify the appropriate splice for the pump. Cut out the splices and label the wires. 3. Remove the inoperative pump and replace it with a new one of the same type. Push the pump cable through the watertight cord grip into the electrical splice box. -Leave an adequate length of electrical cord coiled inside the riser to allow for easy removal of the. pump. Tighter: the cord grip by hand, not by tool, and then test the tightness of the cord grip by tugging on the cord. A cable is secure when the cord grip is tight. enough to prevent slippage. An adequate length of cord should be left within the splice box to allow for easy removal for future disconnecting and re -splicing. 4. Splice the pump wires to the appropriate wires from the control panel following the wiring schematics provided by the manufacturer. Always use watertight heat shrink splice kits for all connections. 5. Reattach the discharge plumbing assembly and carefully lower the pump into the pump tank. Be careful not the lower the pump by the cable or to pinch the cable when lowering it into'the flow inducer. Reconnect the union an open the ball valve.
