RE: Request for Modification of Groundwater Monitoring System
Satterwythe Place
Permit No. WQ0005438
Wastewater Spray Irrigation System
Mecklenburg County, N.C.
Your request to modify the groundwater monitoring well system specified in the referenced permit
has been reviewed by the Groundwater Section of the Mooresville Regional Office.
You requested that the community well, located approximately 100 feet west of the large spray field,
be allowed to serve as the upgradient well for the waste disposal system. You reported that the numerous
attempts to install MW-5 in the vicinity of the proposed location have been unsuccessful in that no
groundwater could be obtained. Based on the information provided, your request is granted. Please be
advised however, that samples from the community well may show lower concentrations of the target
parameters than a monitoring well in the same location. This may present future compliance problems should
concentrations of target parameters in any of the downgradient monitoring wells exceed the groundwater
standards
You are also reminded of Permit Condition IV.8. which requires that you submit scaled topographic
maps. Please refer to your permit for the specific requirements.
Should you have any questions, please call Peggy Finley at [phone], ext. 238.

there is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters which
will render them unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to
perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the
irrigation area to adequately assimilate the wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate
corrective actions including those actions that may be required by the Division of Water
Quality, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment and
disposal facilities.
2. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages
to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
3. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with
General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality.
4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.

5. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet between wetted area and any residence or places of public assembly under
separate ownership,
b) 150 feet between wetted area and property lines,
c) 100 feet between wetted area and wells,
d) 100 feet between wetted area and drainageways or surface water bodies,
e) 50 feet between wetted area and public right of ways,
f) 100 feet between wastewater treatment units and wells, and
g) 50 feet between wastewater treatment units and property lines.
Some of the buffers specified above may not have been included in previous permits for
this waste treatment and disposal system. These buffers are not intended to prohibit or
prevent modifications, which are required by the Division, to improve performance of the
existing treatment facility. These buffers do, however, apply to modifications of the
treatment and disposal facilities which are for the purpose of increasing the flow that is
tributary to the facility. These buffers do apply to any expansion or modification of the
spray irrigation areas and apply in instances in which the sale of property would cause any
of the buffers now complied with, for the treatment and disposal facilities, to be violated.
The applicant is advised that any modifications to the existing facilities will require a permit
modification.

The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit renewal request for the continued
operation of the 7200 GPD spray irrigation facility at Satterwythe Place. The current permit (issued
August 15, 1995) states that the wastewater spray irrigation system was to cease operation by August
31, 1995, because the system was supposed to be connected to a sewer line and also, the four (4)
existing monitor wells were to be abandoned. However, since the permit was issued, the wastewater
spray system has not been taken off-line due to problems in obtaining easements and uncertainties
about the installation of the force main. According to Kim Colson of Mid -South, the timetable of
discontinuing use of the spray system is indeterminate at tlus time.
The permittee has reported recurring problems with dry monitor wells over several years.
Also, groundwater results have not been reported on a regular basis as specified in the permit. Notice
of Violations (NOV's) were issued (10/20/92, 7/3/93, and 5/30/95) by the regional office to the
permittee for not submitting groundwater compliance forms. We conclude that 4 new monitor wells
need to be installed at locations depicted on the attached site. since the 4 existing monitor wells have
been frequently dry and a groundwater sampling schedule be reinstated.
In conclusion, the Groundwater Section has no objection to the issuance of the permit,
provided that the following conditions are included:
Within sixty (60) days of permit issuance, the four (4) existing monitor wells, MW-1,
MW-2, MW-3, and MW-4, shall be properly abandoned in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2C .0113(a)(2). Well abandonment records (GW-30 forms) of all four monitor
wells shall be submitted to the Mooresville Regional Office within thirty (30) days of
well abandonment.

2. Within 90 days of permit issuance, four (4) monitor wells, one upgradient and three
downgradient, (designated as MW-5, MW-6, MW-7, and MW-8), shall be installed
to monitor groundwater quality. The wells shall be constructed such that the water
level in the well is never above or below the screened (open) portion of the well at any
time during the year. The general location and name for each well is marked on
Attachment A. The monitoring wells shall be constructed in accordance with this
permit, and approved by the Mooresville Regional Office.
The Mooresville Regional Office, telephone number [phone] shall be notified
at least fort eight 48) hours prior to the construction of any monitoring well so that
an inspection can be made of the monitoring well location. Such notification to the
regional groundwater supervisor shall be made during the normal office hours from
8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding state holidays.
4. All wells that are constructed for purposes of groundwater monitoring shall be
constructed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C .0108 (Standards of Construction for
Wells Other than Water Supply) and any other state and local laws and regulations
pertaining to well construction.
5. The new monitor wells designated as MW-5, MW-6, MW-7, and MW-8, shall be
sampled initially after construction and thereafter every April, August, and December
for the following parameters:
NO3 Chloride
Ammonia Nitrogen TDS
TOC Water Level
pH
Fecal Coliforms
Volatile Organic Compounds - In December Only (by Method 1 below)
Method 1: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods For
The Examination of Water and Wastewater", 17th ed., 1989
6. The measurement of water levels must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed
point on the top of the casing.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to
provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well. The
top of well casing elevations should be accurate to within 0.01 feet.

7. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected in any downgradient
monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the
individual constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration
as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will
be taken to represent the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances
of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be
subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
8. If any volatile organic compounds are detected by method 6230D, then the
Mooresville Regional Office groundwater supervisor (phone number: 704-663-1699)
must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional
follow-up analyses required. The results of all initial and follow-up analyses must be
submitted simultaneously.
9. The results of the sampling and analysis must be received on Form GW-59
(Groundwater Monitoring: Compliance Report Form) by the Groundwater Section,
Permits and Compliance Unit, P.O. Box 29578 Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0578 on or

10. For the initial sampling of the well as specified elsewhere in the permit, the permittee
shall submit a copy of the GW-1 Form (Well Completion Form) with the Compliance
Monitoring Form (GW-59) for that well. Compliance Monitoring Forms that do not
include copies of the GW-1 form will be returned to the permittee without being
processed. Failure to submit these forms as required by this permit may result in the
initiation of enforcement activities pursuant to NC General Statutes 143-215.6.
11. Within thirty (30) days of completion of all well construction activities, a certification
must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the monitoring wells are
located and constructed in accordance with the Well Construction Standards (15A
NCAC 2C) and this permit. This certification should be submitted with copies of the
Well Completion Form (GW-1) for each well. Mail this certification and the
associated GW-1 forms to the Permits and Compliance Unit, Groundwater Section,
P.O. Box 29578 Raleigh, NC, 27626-0578.
12. Within sixty (60) days of completion of all monitoring wells, the permittee shall
submit two original copies of a scaled map (scale no greater than 1":100') signed and
sealed by a state licensed land surveyor that indicates all of the following information:
a. the location and identity of each monitoring well,
b. the location of all components of the waste disposal system,
C. the location of all property boundaries,
d. the latitude and longitude of the established horizontal control monument,
e. the relative elevation of the top of the well casing (which shall known as the
"measuring point"), the top of well casing elevations should be accurate to
within 0.01 feet. and

f. the depth of water below the measuring point at the time the
measuring point is established.
This survey shall be conducted using approved practices outlined in North Carolina
General Statutes Chapter 89C and the North Carolina Administrative Code Title 21,
Chapter 56. The surveyor shall establish a horizontal control monument on the
property of the waste disposal system and determine the latitude and longitude of this
horizontal control monument to a horizontal positional accuracy of +/-10 feet. All
other features listed in a. through e. above shall be surveyed relative to this horizontal
control monument. The positional accuracy of features listed in a. through e. above
shall have a ratio of precision not to exceed an error of closure of 1 foot per 10,000
feet of perimeter of the survey. Any features located by the radial method will be
located from a minimum of two points. Horizontal control monuments shall be
installed in such a manner and made of such materials that the monument will not be
destroyed due to activities that may take place on the property. The map shall also
be surveyed using the North American Datum of 1983 coordinate system and shall
indicate the datum on the map. All bearings or azimuths shall be based on either the
true or NAD 83 grid meridian. If a Global Positioning System (GPS) is used to
determine the latitude and longitude of the horizontal control monument, a GPS
receiver that has the capability to perform differential GPS shall be used and. all data
collected by the GPS receiver will be differentially corrected.
The maps and any supporting documentation shall be sent to the Groundwater
Section, N.C. Division of Environmental Management P.O. Box 29578 Raleigh, N.C.
27626-0578.
13. The monitor wells must have identification plates and locks securing the wells against
unauthorized access and use (15 ANCAC 2C .0108).
14. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations
in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance
Boundary for the disposal system constructed after 1983 is established at either (1)
250 feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary,
whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater

Dear Mr. Weber:
In accordance with your amendment request received April 28, 1995, we are forwarding herewith
Permit No. WQ0005438 as amended, dated August 15, 1995, to Mid South Water Systems, Inc. for the
continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities. The Groundwater
Section has agreed to delete the groundwater monitoring program in accordance with your commitment
that the spray irrigation system be abandoned by August 31, 1995. Please be advised of Condition No.
IV.1 which states that within sixty (60) days of permit issuance, the four (4) existing monitoring wells,
MW-1, MW-2, MW-3 and MW-4, shall be properly abandoned in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C
.0113(a)(2). Well abandonment records for all four monitoring wells shall be submitted to the Mooresville
Regional Office within thirty (30) days of well abandonment.
In addition, Permit Condition No. II- 7 has .also been amended to limit application to 31.2 inches
over any twelve (12) month period rather than 0.6 inches per week. The Division has amended this
condition to allow further irrigation during the dryer, summer months and less than during the wetter,
winter months. However, at no time shall the instantaneous application rate exceed 0.3 inches per hour.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 1997, shall void Permit
No. WQ0005438 issued March 26, 1993, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to
establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will result
in future compliance problems.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of
this permit. 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, P.O. Drawer
27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.

DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY

MEMORANDUM
TO: - Brian Wootton
FROM: Peggy Finley
RE: Mid -South Water Systems
Satterwythe Place
Spray Irrigation/Lagoon System
WQ0005438/GW97019
In May of 1995, Mid -South Water Systems requested deletion
of the groundwater monitoring requirements from this permit in
return for Mid -South's commitment to abandon the spray irrigation
component of this waste disposal system by August 15, 1995. The
permit was amended in August of 1995 under these conditions.
However, the spray system has not been taken off-line due to
problems in obtaining easements and uncertainties about the
installation of the necessary force main. According to Kim
Colson of Mid -South, the timetable for discontinuing use of the
spray system is indeterminate at this time.
The Mooresville Regional Office therefore recomends that
groundwater monitoring requirements be reinstated as a condition
of permit renewal. Sampling should be triannual and should
include the following parameters:
water level NO3
pH Ammonia Nitrogen
TDS Fecal Coliforms
Chloride TOC
Volatile Organic Compounds - Once year (by Method 6230D or
502.2.
The permittee has had longstanding compliance problems with
the previous groundwater monitoring requirements. The permittee
reported recurring problems with dry wells over the years.
Records reflect that on average, less than 1/3 of the required
sampling was actually accomplished. Therefore, the four existing
monitoring wells must be abandoned and four new wells installed
in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C .0108.
The site investigation revealed that the existing monitoring
wells are not located according to the sketch map supplied by

to
Brian Wootton
Satterwythe Place
February 10, 1997
Mid -South in May of 1995. There is, in fact, no monitor well
located upgradient from the disposal system. This office
therefore recommends that the new wells (MW-5 through MW-8) be
located according to the attached map.
We also recommend that the standard language related to
groundwater requirements include submission of scaled,
topographic maps showing monitoring well locations along with
elevations of the measuring points, etc.
If you haveany questions, please call me.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee requests renewal of the subject Permit. There
have been no changes and/or modifications to the existing WWT
facility since the Permit was last reissued.
On August 15, 1995, an amendment to the subject Permit was
approved that would allow Mid -South Water Systems (MSWS) to
discontinue the GW monitoring program since the WWT facility was
to be eliminated by connecting to a nearby private sewer
collection system on or before August 30, 1995. The connection
fell through (at least for now) as a result of unexpected
problems that were encountered while attempting to acquire the
necessary easements. Such being the case, MSWS can provide no
definitive date as to when the connection to the sewer will be
made, therefore, it is anticipated that the GW Section will
request that the GW monitoring program be reinstated in the

SUBJECT: Mid South Water Systems
Satterwythe Place Subdivision
Permit Modification to Remove GW Monitoring
Mecklenburg County
WQ0005438/GW95102
The Groundwater Section has examined Kim Colson's letter of
April 26, 1995 requesting that the Satterwythe Place Subdivision
Permit No. WQ0005438 be modified by removing the Groundwater
Monitoring Requirements. Their justification for requesting this
modification is based on a planned elimination of the spray
irrigation system in the near future, and also that previous
groundwater monitoring data has not shown violations of
Groundwater Standards.
However, the Groundwater Section could not recommend
approval of that modification request at that time for the
following reasons:
1. As a condition of the existing permit, the subject
facility was required to sample each of their four
existing monitoring wells during the months of April,
August, and December of last year, and evidently only one
sampling event actually took place.
2. The Groundwater Section had received no monitoring data for
1995 and an examination of the records disclosed that,
historically, less than one-half of the required
groundwater monitoring events were actually performed at
this facility.
3. The "dry" well conditions which were the cause of these
omissions were the result of improper well construction,
and proper well construction is the responsibility of the
Permittee.
We contacted the Mooresville Regional Office and
recommended that they issue a Notice of Violation to the facility
for failure to properly construct monitoring wells in accordance
with permit conditions, and require that the four existing wells
be properly abandoned and replaced with new monitoring wells so

f
r'^ that the.required monitoring can be accomplished. The Mooresville
Regional Office issued the NOV on May 30, 1995. The Notice of
Violation informed the manager of the facility that temporary
wells could be constructed at the facility at designated
locations for the purpose of obtaining groundwater samples.
The Groundwater Section required a complete set of current
monitoring data before recommending a removal of the Groundwater
Monitoring Requirements from the existing Permit.
The four existing monitoring wells, which reportedly were
not able to be sampled previously due to "dry" conditions, were
sampled in July and the results of the sample analyses revealed
no contravention of 2L Groundwater Standards. The existing spray
irrigation system is scheduled to be discontinued on August 31,
1995.
A community water supply well is situated approximately one
hundred feet from the downgradient monitoring well and there have
been delays in implementing the discontinuation of the spray
irrigation system. Once the existing spray irrigation system is
discontinued and the waste disposal system is connected to the
force main as planned, the threat to the nearby community water
supply well will.be substantially reduced.
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit
modification to discontinue the requirements of ground water
monitoring and recommends the following modifications to the
existing permit:
1. The groundwater quality monitoring provisions of the existing
permit may be deleted.
2. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the
Division, shall be provided.
3. The four existing monitoring wells (MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, and MW-
4) will be abandoned within 60 days of the issuance of these.
modifications. These wells shall be abandoned in accordance
with NCAC Title 15A, Subchapter 2C, Section .0113 (a) .(2).-
Well abandonment records for all four monitoring wells shall
be submitted to the groundwater supervisor at the Mooresville
Regional Office within -thirty days of well abandonment.
If there are any questions, please let me know.

RE: Satterwvthe
Permit No. WQ0005438
Mecklenburg County, NC
Dear Ms. McCaskill:
Mid South Water Systems, Inc. is requesting permit modification of the subject permit
for removal of Condition IV, 1, Groundwater Monitoring Requirements.
Mid South is preparing to eliminate the spray irrigation system by constructing a force
main to an existing system. The monitoring wells have gone dry in the past, on several
occasions during dry weather. Since monitoring is required in April, and this area has
experienced very dry weather; it is likely that we would need to drill new monitoring wells to
complete the required monitoring. Since ' the spray irrigation system will be abandoned very
soon, and to avoid the unnecessary expense of installing new monitoring wells, Mid South
requests that the monitoring wells be abandoned. Previous monitoring data has not shown any
violations of Groundwater Standards, nor have any violations been noted in the community well
system which is located approximately 100 feet from a downgradient monitoring well.
As a condition of modification, Mid South is willing to agree on a compliance schedule
date of August 31, 1995, to take the spray irrigation system offline.
Plans and specifications for the force main will be submitted under separate cover at a
later date. Attached hereto, please find the $400.00 permit modification fee.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me.

Renewal of Permit No. 13978
Mid South Water Systems, Inc.
Satterwythe Place Subdivision
Wastewater Spray Irrigation
Mecklenburg County
Dear Mr. Weber:
On March 18, 1992, the Division of Environmental Management issued Permit No. WQ0005438
to Mid South Water Systems, Inc. for the continued operation of the subject wastewater spray irrigation
facilities. On May 18, 1992, the Division received a 'Petition For Administrative Hearing" from Mid
South Water Systems, Inc. objecting to some of the conditions and requirements in Permit No.
WQ0005438, which was issued on March 18, 1992. As a result of the submitted 'Petition," the Division
reviewed the concerns expressed and submitted a draft permit to Mid South Water Systems, Inc. on June
30, 1992. On February 9, 1993, attorneys for Mid South Water Systems, Inc. submitted a "Notice of
Withdrawal of Petition" regarding the subject permit adjudication, indicating that it accepts the draft permit;
therefore, the Division is hereby issuing a revised permit, dated March 26, 1993. The revisions included
in this permit are discussed below:
Objection 1: Mid South states that condition I.5 is vague, imprecise, will be impossible to be accurately
complied with, is illegal, and exceeds the authority of the Division.
Response 1: The explanation paragraph contained in condition I.5 has been modified by inserting
language which further clarifies the original intent of the buffer requirements and explains
the circumstances under which the buffers are applicable.

Objection 2: Mid South objects to the monitoring and reporting requirements specified in condition
III.2.
Response 2: The requirements specified in condition III.2 are typical for all permits of this type. The
Division feels that the requested information is basic information that should be maintained
for the operation of such facilities to ensure the quality of the effluent that is being produced
and to ensure that the irrigation rate limitations, as specified in condition II.7, are not being
exceeded. Condition M.2 has not been modified.
Objection 3: Mid South objects to the language in condition III.5 which refers to the Satterwythe Place
wastewater spray irrigation facilities as wastewater treatment facilities.
Response 3: The three facultative lagoon cells, the chlorine feed system, and the chlorine contact tank
are wastewater treatment facilities; therefore, condition 111.5, which is a standard condition
for wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal facilities of this type, is not being
modified.
Objection 4: Mid South objects to condition VI.8, which requires that the wastewater spray irrigation
facilities connect to a publicly owned wastewater collection system under certain
circumstances.
Response 4: Condition VI.8 has been deleted from the permit.
This permit shall be final and effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 1997, shall
void Permit No. WQ0005438, which was issued on March 18, 1992, and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring
requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the
required operational information will result in future compliance problems.
If you need additional information concerning this matter, please contact Mr. Randy Jones at 919/

Renewal of Permit No. 13978
Mid South Water Systems, Inc.
Satterwythe Place Subdivision
Wastewater Spray Irrigation
Mecklenburg County
Dear Mr. Weber:
On March 18, 1992, the Division of Environmental Management issued Permit No. WQ0005438
to Mid South Water Systems, Inc. for the continued operation of the subject wastewater spray irrigation
facilities. On May 18, 1992, the Division received a 'Petition For Administrative Hearing" from Mid
South Water Systems, Inc. objecting to some of the conditions and requirements in Permit No.
WQ0005438, which was issued on March 18, 1992. As a result of the submitted "Petition," the.Division
reviewed the concerns expressed and submitted a draft permit to Mid South Water Systems, Inc. on June
30, 1992. On February 9, 1993, attorneys for Mid South Water Systems, Inc. submitted a "Notice of
Withdrawal of Petition" regarding the subject permit adjudication, indicating that it accepts the draft permit;
therefore, the Division is hereby issuing a revised permit, dated March 26, 1993. The revisions included
in this permit are discussed below:
Objection 1: Mid South states that condition I.5 is vague, imprecise, will be impossible to be accurately
complied with, is illegal, and exceeds the authority of the Division.
Response 1: The explanation paragraph contained in condition I.5 has been modified ' by inserting
language which further clarifies the original intent of the.buffer requirements and explains
the circumstances under which the buffers are applicable.

Objection 2: Mid South objects to the monitoring and reporting requirements specified in condition
III.2.
Response 2: The requirements specified in condition III.2 are typical for all permits of this type. The
Division feels that the requested information is basic information that should be maintained
for the operation of such facilities to ensure the quality of the effluent that is being produced
and to ensure that the irrigation rate limitations, as specified in condition H.7, are not being
exceeded. Condition 111.2 has not been modified.
Objection 3: Mid South objects to the language in condition III.5 which refers to the Satterwythe Place
wastewater spray irrigation facilities as wastewater treatment facilities.
Response 3: The three facultative lagoon cells, the chlorine feed system, and the chlorine contact tank
are wastewater treatment facilities; therefore, condition III.5, which is a standard condition
for wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal facilities of this type, is not being
modified.
Objection 4: Mid South objects to condition VI.8, which requires that the wastewater spray irrigation
facilities connect to a publicly owned wastewater collection system under certain
circumstances.
Response 4: Condition VI.8 has been deleted from the permit.
This permit shall be final and effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 1997, shall
void Permit No. WQ0005438, which was issued on March 18, 1992, and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring
requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the
required operational information will result in future compliance problems.
If you need additional information concerning this matter, please contact Mr. Randy Jones at 919/

Subject: Draft Permit Transmittal
Permit No. WQ0005438
Mid South Water Systems, Inc.
Satterwythe Place Subdivision
Wastewater Spray Irrigation Facilities
Mecklenburg County
On March 18, 1992, the Division of Environmental Management issued Permit No. WQ0005438
to Mid South Water Systems, Inc. for the continued operation of the subject wastewater spray irrigation
facilities. On May 18, 1992, the Division received a "Petition For Administrative Hearing" from Mid
South Water Systems, Inc. objecting to some of the conditions and requirements in Permit No.
WQ0005438, which was issued on March 18, 1992. As a result of the submitted "Petition," the Division
has reviewed the concerns expressed and has prepared a draft permit which incorporates the revisions to
the permit that the Division feels are appropriate. Additionally, the points raised in the "Petition" are
discussed below.
Objection 1: Mid South states that condition I.5 is vague, imprecise; will be impossible to be accurately
complied with, is illegal, and exceeds the authority of the Division.
Response 1: The explanation paragraph contained in condition I.5 has been modified by inserting
language which further clarifies the original intent of the buffer requirements and explains
the circumstances under which the buffers are applicable.

Objection 2: Mid South objects to the monitoring and reporting requirements specified in condition
II1.2.
Response 2: The requirements specified in condition IH.2 are typical for all permits of this type. The
Division feels that the requested information is basic information that should be maintained
for the operation of such facilities to ensure the quality of the effluent that is being produced
and to ensure that the irrigation rate limitations, as specified in condition 11.7, are not being
exceeded. Condition 111.2 has not been modified.
Objection 3: Mid South objects to the language in condition HI.S which refers to the Satterwythe Place
wastewater spray irrigation facilities as wastewater treatment facilities.
Response 3: The three facultative lagoon cells, the chlorine feed system, and the chlorine contact tank
are wastewater treatment facilities; therefore, condition 111.5, which is a standard condition
for wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal facilities of this type, is not being
modified.
Objection 4: Mid South objects to condition VI.8, which requires that the wastewater spray irrigation
facilities connect to a publicly owned wastewater collection system under certain
circumstances.
Response 4: Condition VI.8 has been deleted from the permit.
Mid South states that the Division has issued a permit with conditions that impose new
requirements that are, arbitrary, capricious, illegal and erroneous, and that they exceed the Division's
lawful authority. North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 (b) (4) a. enables the Environmental
Management Commission to incorporate the conditions into a permit that are necessary to protect the
surface waters and groundwaters of the State and the public health. The conditions and requirements
specified in the subject permit are typical of those conditions and requirements placed in all permits of this
type. The Division feels that the requirements of this permit are necessary in order to ensure. that the
operation of these wastewater treatment and disposal facilities, along with the subsequent quality of the
treated effluent are adequate to protect the surface waters and groundwaters of the State and the public
health.
Please review'the attached draft permit and submit written comments directly to Mr. Randy Jones,
of my staff, by July 17, 1992, either stating Mid South Water Systems' acceptance of the draft permit or
describing those conditions with which you still have concerns. If you have concerns with the draft permit
and we can come to no further agreements, the Attorney General's office will be so informed and the
adjudicatory hearing process can continue. If you are willing to accept the draft, please execute the
attached '.'Notice of Withdrawal."

below)
Method 1: Method 6230D ( Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water and Wastewater", 17th edition, 1989
Method 2: Method 502.2 " Methods for the Determination of Organic Compounds
in Drinking Water", United States Environmental Protection Agency -
600/4-88/039
The measurement of water level must be made prior .to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to
provide relative elevations of the measuring point for each of the monitoring wells. The
depth of water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the
casing.

If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are detected in any downgradient monitoring
well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the.individual
constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured- in
the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will be taken to represent
the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring
TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling
and analysis as described above.
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by method 6230D, or the equivalent method
502.2, then EPA methods 604 and 611 must also be run to detect other organic compounds
which may be present. The results of all analysis specified in the monitoring requirements,
including 604 and 611 if required, must be submitted simultaneously.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management on Form GW-59 (Compliance Monitoring Report Form) every
May, September, and January.
2. The C'.mmpliance Boundary delineated on the attached site plan for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Classifications and Water Quality Standards
applicable to the groundwater of North Carolina. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
Standards beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to penalty provisions applicable
under General Statute 143-215.6A. The sale of property, by the Permittee, which is within
or contiguous to the disposal system site may alter location of the Compliance Boundary.
For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the lagoon and spray field, or 50 feet within the
property boundary.
If the title to any property which may affect the location of the Compliance Boundary is
changed, the permittee shall notify the Division Director within 14 days. The Director shall
then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be done as a modification to the
Permit.
The REVIEW BOUNDARY delineated on the attached site plan for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. A
REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around disposal systems midway between the
Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. When the
concentration of any substance equals or exceeds the maximum allowable concentration of
that substance at the REVIEW BOUNDARY, as determined by monitoring, the permittee
shall either (i) demonstrate, through predictive calculations or modeling, that natural site
conditions, facility design and operational controls will prevent a violation of standards at
the Compliance Boundary; or, (ii) submit a plan for the alteration of existing site
conditions, facility design or operational controls that will prevent a violation of standards
at the Compliance Boundary, and implement that plan upon its approval by the Director.
3. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall
be provided.

Subject: Draft Permit Transmittal
Permit No. WQ0005438
Mid South Water Systems, Inc.
Satterwythe Place Subdivision
Wastewater Spray Irrigation Facilities
Mecklenburg County
On March 18, 1992, the Division of Environmental Management issued Permit No. WQ0005438
to Mid South Water Systems, Inc. for the continued operation of the subject wastewater spray irrigation
facilities. On May 18, 1992, the Division received a "Petition For Administrative Hearing" from Mid
South Water Systems, Inc. objecting to some of the conditions and requirements in Permit No.
WQ0005438, which was issued on March 18, 1992. As a result of the submitted "Petition," the Division
has reviewed the concerns expressed and has prepared a draft permit which incorporates the revisions to
the permit that the Division feels are appropriate. Additionally, the points raised in the "Petition" are
discussed below. _
Objection 1: Mid South states that condition 1.5 is vague, imprecise, will be impossible to be accurately
complied with, is illegal, and exceeds the authority of the Division.
Response 1: The explanation paragraph contained in condition I.5 has been modified by inserting
language which further clarifies the original intent of the buffer requirements and explains
the circumstances under which the buffers are applicable.

Objection 2: Mid South objects to the monitoring and reporting requirements specified in condition
HI.2.
Respo:,Is,- .,_L requirements specified in condition III.2 are typical for all permits of this type. The
Division feels that the requested information is basic information that should be maintained
for the operation of such facilities to ensure the quality of the effluent that is being produced
and to ensure that the irrigation rate limitations, as specified in condition 11.7, are not being
exceeded. Condition I11.2 has not been modified.
Objection 3: Mid South objects to the language in condition M.S which refers to the Satterwythe Place
wastewater spray irrigation facilities as wastewater treatment facilities.
Response 3: The three facultative lagoon cells, the chlorine feed system, and the chlorine contact tank
are wastewater treatment facilities; therefore, condition III.S, which is a standard condition
for wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal facilities of this type, is not being
modified.
Objection 4: Mid South objects to condition VI.8, which requires that the wastewater spray irrigation
facilities connect to a publicly owned wastewater collection system under certain
circumstances.
Response 4: Condition VI.8 has been deleted from the permit.
Mid South states that the Division has issued a permit with conditions that impose new
requirements that are arbitrary, capricious, illegal and erroneous, and that they exceed the Division's
lawful authority. North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 (b) (4) a. enables the Environmental
Management Commission to incorporate the conditions into a permit that are necessary to protect the
surface waters and groundwaters of the State and the public health. The conditions and requirements
specified in the subject permit are typical of those conditions and requirements placed in all permits of this
type. The Division feels that the requirements of this permit are necessary in order to ensure. that the
operation of these wastewater treatment and disposal facilities, along with the subsequent quality of the
treated effluent are adequate to protect the surface waters and groundwaters of the State and the public
health.
Please review the attached draft permit and submit written comments directly to Mr. Randy Jones,
of my staff, by July 17, 1992, either stating Mid South Water Systems' acceptance of the draft permit or
describing those conditions with which you still have concerns. If you have concerns with the draft permit
and we can come to no further agreements, the Attorney General's office will be so informed and the
adjudicatory hearing process can continue. If you are willing to accept the draft, please execute the
attached "Notice of Withdrawal."

In December only ( by Method 1 or Method 2
below)
Method 1: Method 6230D ( Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water and Wastewater", 17th edition,1989
Method 2: Method 502.2 " Methods for the Determination of Organic Compounds
in Drinking Water", United States Environmental Protection Agency -
600/4-88/039
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to
provide relative elevations of the measuring point for each of the monitoring wells. The
depth of water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the
casing.

If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are detected in any downgradient monitoring
well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the .individual
constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in
the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will be taken to represent
the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring
TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling
and analysis as described above.
If volatile organic compounds are detected by method 6230D, or the equivalent method
502.2, then EPA methods 604 and 611 must also be run to detect other organic compounds
which may. be present. The results of all analysis specified in the monitoring requirements,
including 604 and 611 if required, must be submitted simultaneously.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management on Form GW-59 (Compliance Monitoring Report Form) every
May, September, and January.
2. The Compliance Boundary delineated on the attached site plan for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Classifications and Water Quality Standards
applicable to the groundwater of North Carolina. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
Standards beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to penalty provisions applicable
under General Statute 143-215.6A. The.sale of property, by the Permittee, which is within
or contiguous to the disposal system site may alter location of the Compliance Boundary.
For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the lagoon and spray field, or 50 feet within the
Property boundary.
If the title to any property which may affect the location of the Compliance Boundary is
changed, the permittee shall notify the Division Director within 14 days. The Director shall
then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be done as a modification to the
Permit.
The REVIEW BOUNDARY delineated on the attached site plan for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. A
REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around disposal systems midway between the
Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. When the
concentration of any substance equals or exceeds the maximum allowable concentration of
that substance at the REVIEW BOUNDARY, as determined by monitoring, the permittee
shall either (i) demonstrate, through predictive calculations or modeling, that natural site
conditions, facility design and operational controls will prevent a violation of standards at
the Compliance Boundary; or, (rr) submit a plan for the alteration of existing site
conditions, facility design or operational controls that will prevent a violation of standards
at the Compliance Boundary, and implement that plan upon its approval by the Director.
3. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall
be provided.
V . INSgE.(;TIONS
1. Adequate inspection, maintenance, and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee to
insure proper operation of the subject facilities.

FROM:
G,
D. Rex Gleason )p
PREPARED BY:
Michael Parker?
SUBJECT:
Satterwythe'Place Subdivision WWTP
Mid South Water Systems, Inc.
Permit No. WQ0005438
Mecklenburg County
This Office has conducted a review of the adjudicatory
hearing request submitted by Mid South Water Systems, Inc. on
April 21, 1992. Mid South has raised objections to certain
conditions contained in the subject Permit, which was renewed on
March 18, 1992. Our response will follow the same order as found
in the adjudicatory request.
1. Addition of buffer requirements.
The addition of the buffers contained in the subject Permit
are not intended to inhibit existing or future WWTP
performance as implied by the petitioner. These buffers were
utilized in the design, permitting and construction of the
subject facility and are neither vague nor arbitrary. Should
a modification/addition to the existing WWT facilities be
necessary in order to comply with DEM regulations or Permit
requirements, a variance can be requested that will allow
for such activities within the buffer provided no other
alternatives exists.
_2. Addition of monitoring/reporting requirements (Section III,
No. 2).
The requirement to maintain the records as noted in Section
III, No. 2 of the Permit may be inappropriate for a Class I
facility. Effective October 1, 1991, operators were required
to visit Class I facilities at least once per week. In order
to obtain the information required in section III, No. 2,
considerably more visits (possibly daily) will be necessary.

Although it is important that adequate operator attention be
provided, it is impractical (if not impossible) to require
Mid South to maintain the records found in Section III, No.
2 of the Permit as long as the facility remains as a Class I
plant. Additional facilities (such as metering, timers,
etc.) may also be necessary unless the operator visits this
facility on a daily basis. It would appear to be more useful
if the operator maintained records detailing specific
activities performed during a typical site visit, including
weather conditions and the operational status of the spray
field(s). Records of operation and maintenance activities
should also be maintained by the operator. It is recommended
that Section III, No. 2 of the Permit be deleted with the
exception of (f) and (g), and the Permit condition be
rewritten to require records more indicative of Class I
WWT facility operations.
3. Noncompliance notification.
Contrary to the petitioner's belief, the facility that
serves the Satterwythe Subdivision is a "treatment" facility
and, therefore, is subject to the requirements of said
condition. Recommend that this condition remain as written.
It is our opinion that the Permit (upon modification) is
adequate and should not pose unnecessary economic hardships on
the permittee. In addition, it is not beyond the legal authority
of the Division to institute changes and/or modifications to a
Permit necessary to ascertain compliance.
If you have any question regarding this matter, please
advise.

PETITION FOR
VS. ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING
NC DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, NORTH CAROLINA
HEALTH AND NATURAL RESOURCES, ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE
DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT,
Respondent APR 2 G 19
92
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION SEC WR
Mid South Water Systems, Inc., Petitioner hIYW is a North
Carolina Corporation with its principal office and business being located in Catawba County, North Carolina. Mod
South Water Systems, Inc. operates water and sewer utility systems
in 26 counties of North Carolina which systems are regulated by the
North Carolina Utilities Commission.
This Petition for an Administrative Hearing is with respect to
a certain spray irrigation system permit number W-Q0005438, renewal
of permit number 139781 renewal date March .18, 1992, for
Satterwythe Place Subdivision in Mecklenburg County, North
Carolina. Said permit renewal was issued to Petitioner by the
Division of Environmental Management of the Department of
Environment, Health and Natural Resources on March 184, 1992, over
the signature of George T. Everett, Director, Division of
Environmental Management and was sent to Petitioner under a cover
letter of even date.
Petitioner objects to the inclusion in said permit of multiple
increased monitoring and reporting requirements and performance
standards as well as to one or more of the general conditions
within said permit all as set forth with specificity, and for the
reasons given, hereunder.
This Petition For Administrative Hearing is filed within
thirty (30) days of Petitioner's receipt of the subject permit and
is submitted pursuant to Article 3 of Chapter 150B of the General
Statutes of North Carolina.
In support of this Petitioner, Petitioner says that the
Division of Environmental Management has acted erroneously,
arbitrarily, capriciously, illegally, and in excess of its
authority in that:
t
03
s

1. In Section I, Performance Standards, Paragraph 5, certain
buffer requirements are set forth which buffer requirements by
their terms "...apply to any modification of the waste treatment
facilities,, -any new construction within the area .of influence of
these buffers, and the sale of property which would cause any of
the buffers now complied with to be violated."
2. Petitioner objects to the provision making the subject
buffers applicable to "any modification of the waste treatment
facilities, ..." in that the said language is so vague and
imprecise as to be impossible to be accurately complied with by
Petitioner. Further, the said language by its terms is illegal and
.exceeds the authority of the Division in that the said language
discourages efforts on the part of Petitioner to improve the
quality and efficiency of Petitioner's equipment so as to further
protect the environment. It is the duty of Respondent, however, to
participate in the administration of "a complete program of water
and air conservation, pollution abatement and control and to
achieve a coordinated effort of pollution abatement and control
with other jurisdictions." as required by NCGS 143-211. The
subject condition is, on .its face, counterproductive to the
declaration of public policy set forth in NCGS 143-211 in that the
said increased buffer requirements discourage actions by Petitioner
to improve -by means of modification the waste treatment facilities
which are governed by the subject permit.
3. Petitioner objects to' Section III,- Monitoring and
Reporting Requirements, paragraph 2 thereof, wherein Respondent has
substantially and materially increased the monitoring and reporting
requirements for. Petitioner and for the subject spray irrigation
system in that the practical impact of the monitoring and reporting
requirements found in paragraph 2 of Section II of the permit is
that Petitioner will be required to employ another wastewater
system operator with at least a grade I certification along with
all the necessary equipment for such an operator in order for
Petitioner to comply with the subject increased monitoring and
reporting requirements. Petitioner says that the estimated cost of
employing and assigning another wastewater system operator with a
grade I certification to the Satterwythe Place Subdivision system
in order to comply -with the monitoring and reporting requirements
in the subject permit will be approximately $150,000.00 per year
which expense is unnecessary, and will contribute nothing to the
maintenance of environmental quality or the prevention of pollution
in that Permittee's current monitoring and reporting practices with
respect to the subject system are adequate and the subject system
has been operated without material violation of the provisions of
the existing permits and without degradation of the environment.
4. Petitioner objects to Section III Monitoring and
Reporting Requirements, paragraph 5 thereof, entitled Noncompliance
Notification in that the plain language of paragraph 5 applies to
a wastewater treatment facility when the Satterwythe Place
Subdivision wastewater spray irrigation system which is the subject
of this permit is by its very nature not a wastewater- treatment

plant or facility but a spray field disposal system wherein the
wastewater which is discharged is not treated but rather is sprayed
upon the surface of certain buffered fields for the purpose of
natural nitrification.
5. Petitioner objects to Section VI General Conditions,
paragraph 8 thereof for the reasons set forth in the case of Mid
South Water Systems, Inc. vs. NCDEHNR, 91 EHR 0174 which case has
been,resolved by means of a settlement agreement between Petitioner
and Respondent which settlement provides for the inclusion of
alternative language to that which is' currently contained in
paragraph 8 of Section VI of this subject permit. Petitioner has
contacted Respondent pursuant to the terms of the settlement
agreement in the 91 EHR 0174 case regarding modification of
paragraph 8 of Section 6 of this permit and accordingly does
believe that appropriate modification of paragraph 8 of Section VI
of this permit will be made without the necessity of further
litigation in this proceeding.
6. Since the construction of the spray irrigation system
which is regulated by the permittee which is the subject of this
proceeding, there have been no modifications to the subject system•
nor have there been any substantial violations of the conditions of
the previous permit.
7. In reissuing a permit for the •operation of the subject
Satterwythe Place Subdivision wastewater spray irrigation system,
Respondent has substantially and materially and without prior
notice or warning to Petitioner or to Petitioner's customers
increased the cost of operation of the subject spray irrigation
system all without any reasonable excuse or justification therefore
and accordingly Petitioner alleges that the changes in the newly
issued permit to which Petitioner has objected are outside of and
in excess of -Respondent's authority and are erroneous, arbitrary,
capricious, and illegal.
8. In the event that Respondent should claim or allege that
its imposition of substantially increased monitoring requirements
in the subject discharge permits has been authorized or allowed by
law or regulation in the past but that the imposition of the
substantially stricter requirements complained about in this
Petition has only recently been imposed by Respondent, then it is
alleged that the decision of Respondent to begin now to impose such
substantially more stringent requirements is, arbitrary,
capricious, illegal and erroneous, and that the same exceeds the
lawful authority of Respondent.
9. The Petitioner is a utility company under.the laws of the
State of North Carolina and as such is regulated by the 'North
Carolina Utilities Commission. The rates which. Petitioner charges
its customers in Satterwythe Place Subdivision are fixed by the
North Carolina Utilities Commission and are based, among other
things upon the cost which are incurred and which are anticipated
to be incurred by Petitioner in complying with various regulatory

requirements, particularly including, but not limited to, the
conditions of the discharge permit which is issued for Satterwythe
Place Subdivision wastewater spray irrigation system by the
Respondent., The rates approved by the North Carolina Utilities
Commission for Petitioner and for the customers in Satterwythe
Place*Subdivision are based upon the monitoring requirements set
forth in the discharge permit which was issued for this subdivision
on or about November 13, 1986 and under which the Petitioner has
been -operating since that time.
10. Under applicable North Carolina law, Petitioner will be
entitled to an increase in the rates which it charges its customers
in the Satterwythe Place Plantation or, alternatively, which it
charges all of its approximately 12,000 customers across North
Carolina so that Petitioner can pay the cost and expenses
associated with compliance with the new and more stringent
conditions contained in the subject discharge permit. Under
applicable law, Petitioner will also be entitled to the receipt of
a- reasonable profit on those expenses. Petitioner's other
expenses, including legal fees, associated with this proceeding as
well as with any ancillary proceedings, are also legitimate
expenses of Petitioner which Petitioner will be entitled to include
in the calculations of new and increased rates for the customers of
the Satterwythe Place Subdivision or for all of Petitioner's
customers in North Carolina. Accordingly, it is the customers of
Satterwythe Place Plantation and all of the customers of Petitioner
who will bear the unnecessary expenses associated with compliance
by Petitioner with the unnecessary new and more stringent
conditions and requirements of the subject discharge permit.
11. The substantially increased cost to the customers who
live in the Satterwythe Place Plantation or, alternatively, to all
of Petitioner's customers across North Carolina by reason of -the
substantially increased requirements in the subject discharge
permit are without any concomitant benefit either to those
customers or to the public in. general in that there is no
significant benefit to be derived by anyone, other than possibly
the new employ who has to be employed by Petitioner and the sellers
of vehicles and other equipment from whom Petitioner will have to
purchase a vehicle and other necessary equipment for this new
employ, by reason of the substantial increase in the requirements
demanded by the subject discharge permit.
12. Upon information and belief Respondent has increased the
standards and requirements set forth in the subject. -discharge
permit without any consideration of the financial impact -of those
requirements either upon Petitioner or upon Petitioner's customers.
Petitioner alleges that for Respondent to substantially increase
the permit compliance requirements as alleged herein and thereby to
impose upon Petitioner's customers, all of whom, upon information
and belief, are citizens and tax payers of the State of North
Carolina, substantially increased and yet unnecessary cost, is
itself erroneous, arbitrary, -illogical, capricious, and exceeds the
lawful authority of Respondent.

13. Petitioner alleges that the imposition of the subject
increased permit compliance requirements bears no particular
relationship to any improved level of environmental protection and
that any theoretical relationship between the substantially
increased monitoring requirements or compliance requirements and
any particular level of environmental. protection is vastly
outweighed by the unnecessary and outrageously increased cost to
the consuming public which the subject compliance requirements do
impose.
WHEREFORE, for the reasons set forth above and pursuant to
NCGS 150B, Article 3, and other relevant statutes, Petitioner
requests an Administrative Hearing.upon this matter.
This the l_ day of April, 1992.

SUBJECT: Adjudication of Permit No. WQ0005438
Mid South Water Systems, Inc.
I
Satterwythe Subdivision WWTP
I Mecklenburg County
I WQ0005438/GW92152
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject adjudication
request and offers the following comments for each point raised in
their petition:
1&2) The buffers listed in condition I.5 are typical of spray
irrigation permits and conform to the 15A NCAC 2H .200
regulations. The point of the paragraph is that any
additional facilities that are constructed must comply
with the buffers stipulated in 2H .219(j). This
condition should remain unchanged.
3), The petitioner objects to increased monitoring,
specifically the inclusion of effluent monitoring
requirements. These conditions are typical for spray
irrigation facilities and are necessary to ensure the
wastewater treatment facility is producing a quality
effluent. Given the fact the petitioner has submitted
only two groundwater monitoring reports in.six years, it
is easily understood how the petitioner believes the cost
would be so high. These conditions should remain
unchanged.
4) The petitioner apparently does not understand the role of
the facultative lagoons in waste treatment, but they are

considered treatment units. The language used in
condition III.5 is appropriate.
5) No. comment.
I
6) I Contrary to the petitioner's assertion, violations of the
permit have ocuYred, namely the petitioner's failure to
submit groundwater monitoring data as required by permit
I no. 13978.
7) 1 No ccmTient .
8) I This permit and its associated conditions are typical of
permits issued for similar facilities.
9)i No comment.
10) thru 1
13) No comment.
Ifithere are any questions, please advise.

influent to such station or facility.
d. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of
compliance with its permit limitations.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter
form within 15 days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline
the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
1. The four (4) existing monitor wells shall continue to be sampled every April, August, and
December for the following parameters:
NO3
TOC
Ammonia Nitrogen
Water Level
Total Suspended Solids
Volatile Organic Compounds -
IDS
pH
Chloride
Fecal Coliforms
In December only ( by Method 1 or Method 2
below)
Method 1: Method 6230D ( Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water and Wastewater", 17th edition, 1989
Method 2: Method 502.2 " Methods for the Determination of Organic Compounds
m Drinking Water", United States Environmental Protection Agency -
600/4-88/039
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to
provide relative elevations of the measuring point for each of the monitoring wells. The
depth of water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the
casing.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected in any downgradient monitoring
well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual
constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in
the back ound monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will be taken to represent
the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring
TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling
and analysis as described above.
4

If any volatile organic compounds are detected by method 6230D, or the equivalent method
502.2, then EPA methods 604 and 611 must also be run to detect other organic compounds
which may be present. The results of all analysis speed in the monitoring requirements,
including 604 and 611 if required, must be submitted simultaneously.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management on Form GW 59 (Compliance Monitoring Report Form) every
May, September, and January.
2. The compliance Bo mda_N delineated on the attached site plan for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Classifications and Water Quality Standards
applicable to the groundwater of North Carolina. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
Standards beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to penalty provisions applicable
under General Statute 143-215.6A. The sale of property, by the Permittee, which is within
or contiguous to the disposal system site may alter location of the Compliance Boundary.
For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the lagoon and spray field, or 50 feet within the
Property boundary.
If the title io any property which may affect the location of the Compliance Boundary is
changed, the permittee shall notify the Division Director within 14 days. The Director shall
then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be done as a modification to the
Permit.
The REVIEW BOUNDARY delineated on the attached site plan for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. A
REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around disposal systems midway between the
Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. When the
concentration of any substance equals or exceeds the maximum allowable concentration of
that substance at the REVIEW BOUNDARY, as determined by monitoring, the permittee
shall either (i) demonstrate, through predictive calculations or modeling, that natural site
conditions, facility design and operational controls will prevent a violation of standards at
the Compliance Boundary; or, (ii) submit a plan for the alteration of existing site
conditions, facility design or operational controls that will prevent a violation of standards
at the Compliance Boundary, and implement that plan upon its approval by the Director.
3. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall
be provided.
V . INSPE _T D
1. Adequate inspection, maintenance, and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee to
insure proper operation of the subject facilities.

MOORESVIUE REGWNAL OFFICE
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject renewal request
for a facility consisting of a three cell lagoon (unknown volume),
disinfection, and 3.2 acres of spray irrigation disposal field. These
facilities are designed to treat 7,200 GPD of domestic wastewater.
Unfortunately, the permittee has never submitted groundwater
monitoring data other than the original data collected when the wells
were installed. The Mooresville Regional Office is pursuing
enforcement because of the permittee's failure to monitor the wells as
required by permit No. 13978.
In any case, the Groundwater Section recommends reissuance of the
permit to include the following conditions:
1. The four (4) existing groundwater monitoring wells shall
continue to be sampled every April, August, and December for
the following parameters:
NO
TD
pH
Chloride
Total Suspended Solids
Volatile Organic Compounds -
method 1 or 2 below)
Ammonia Nitrogen
TOC
Water Level
Fecal Coliforms
In December Only (by
Method 1: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard
Methods For The Examination of Water and
Wastewater", 17th ed., 1989

Method 2: Method 502.2 "Methods For The Determination
Of Organic Compounds In Drinking Water", U.S.
EPA - 600/4-88/039
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling
for the remaining parameters.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring
wells shall be surveyed to provide relative elevations of the
measuring point for each of the monitoring wells. The depth
of water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed
point on the top of the casing.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are detected in
any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and
analysis must be conducted to identify the individual
constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC
concentration as measured in the background monitor well
exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will be taken to
represent the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any
exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in
the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional
sampling and analysis as described above.
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by method
6230D, or the equivalent method 502.2, then EPA methods 604
and 611 must also be run to detect other organic compounds
which may be present. The results of all analyses specified
in the monitoring requirements, including 604 and 611 if
required, must be submitted simultaneously.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the
N.C. Division of Environmental Management on Form GW-59
[Compliance Monitoring Report Form] every May, September, and
January.
2. The Compliance Boundary delineated on the attached site map
for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15A
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. An
exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards beyond the
Compliance Boundary is subject to the penalty provisions
applicable under General Statute 143-215.6(1)a. The sale of
property, by the Permittee, which is within or contiguous to
the disposal site, may alter the location of the Compliance
Boundary.
For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the
Compliance Boundary is established at the lesser of 250 feet
from the lagoon and spray field, or 50 feet within the
property boundary.
If the title to any property which may affect the location of
the Compliance Boundary is changed, the Permittee shall
notify the DEM Director within 14 days. The Director shall
then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be
done as a modification to the Permit.

The REVIEW BOUNDARY delineated on the attached site. map for
the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15A NCAC
2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. A REVIEW
BOUNDARY is established around disposal systems midway
between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the
waste disposal area. When the concentration of any substance
equals or exceeds the maximum allowable concentration of that
substance at the REVIEW BOUNDARY, as determined by
monitoring, the permittee shall either (i) demonstrate,
through predictive calculations or modeling, that natural
site conditions, facility design and operational controls
will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance
Boundary; or, (ii) submit a plan for the alteration of
existing site conditions, facility design or operational
controls that will prevent a violation of standards at the
Compliance Boundary, and implement that plan upon its
approval by the Director.
3. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed
necessary by the Division, shall be provided.
We would also recnd inclusion of standard effluent monitoring,
typical of spray irrigation permits.
If there are any questions, please let me ]mow.

Ref: Permit Renewal Application, Permit No. 13978
Satter.wythe Subdivision, Mecklenburg County
Dear Ms. McCaskill:
Mid South Water Systems, Inc. requests the renewal of Permit
No. 13978 pertaining to the Satterwythe Place spray
irrigation facility.
Please find enclosed, our check #13574 dated August 5, 1991
in the amount of $200.00 and the completed application form
submitted in triplicate.
Mid South thought that we had requested this renewal on
March 5, 1991, and found that same was not submitted. We
were looking at a cancelled check in the amount of $300.00
which we erroneously thought wa,s the permit fee. We are
sorry for the misunderstanding as we note that the permit
expires on November 1, 1991.
We hope that you will contact us if you have any questions
pertaining to this matter. We have on this date, contacted
Mr. Mike Parker with the Mooresville Office and advised him
that we had erred regarding this permit renewal.
Very truly yours,
MID SOUTH WATER SYSTEMS; INC.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mike Parker
Mooresville Region /l Office
FROM: Barbara Wiggins l
Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental
Protection
SUBJECT: Satterwythe Subdivision
Non -Discharge Spray Irritation,-_, ?
Permit No. 13978
On March 5, 1990, Rusty Rozzelle and I performed a
Reconnaissance Inspection on the spray irrigation facility which
serves the Satterwythe Subdivision in Mecklenburg County. At
9:30 A.M. we noted one line of spray heads was dosing the field
on the opposite side of the Duke Power Right of Way. This line
was running over the ground and through the fence in several
locations from this spraying. Erosion channels, damp areas, and
tall marsh type grass indicated the runoff may have been
occurring for some time. Foam was noted in the water running off
the property.
At the lagoons, the following were noted:
- The cinder block walls were collapsed.
- A y valve was cracked.
- The cover and insulation was off to one side.
- No freeze protection was present.
- Water was pooling below the cracked y valve.
- The pipe from the third lagoon was being held down with
boards and a log.
- Grass was not established around the lagoons and
erosion channels into the lagoons were prevalent.
- Rain runoff from the field next to the lagoons was
flowing into the lagoons. ORC John Williams had
informed me that this field was not in use.
- Solids were accumulating near the influent pipe to the
first lagoon.
- Erosion had partially blocked the drainway from the
first lagoon to the second.

do April 24, 1990
- Trees were down inside the fields and across the
fencing in many places.
Chlorine residual in the tank of chlorine was 3.4 ppm.
On a followup visit on March 7, 1990 at 2:30 P.M. with a
video camera, Mr. Scott Regiec and I documented the situation
that was observed on March 5, 1990. There was not as much flow
from the property through a marshy area, across a grass field and
in the nearby creek which is an unnamed tributary to Fuda Creek.
Measurements in the tributary of pH and Dissolved Oxygen showed
no impact on the creek. Puddles and ditches were noted around
many of the spray heads. A constant flow was observed through
the far field which originated beyond the fence.

On May 27 and 31, 1988, Mr. Dale Stewart, P.E., conducted
final inspections of the referenced project. He noted several
deficiencies in his letter to Mr. Arthur Mouberry of May 31, 1988
(attached).
I conducted another inspection of the project on July 15,
1988. I found the wastewater treatment system to be installed
according to State approved plans and specifications and fully
operational. All deficiencies noted in Mr. Stewart's letter have
been corrected. The pond area will be reseeded in the Fall when
growing conditions become favorable.
Based on these inspections, Mecklenburg County Of Department
of Environmental Protection considers the referenced project
completed.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call Rusty
Rozzelle or me at 376-4603.
Sii1cerely,

Re: Satterwythe Waste Treatment Facilities
Permit Number 13978
Dear Arthur:
On Friday, May 27, 1988, and Tuesday, May 31, 1988, I conducted a
final inspection of waste treatment facilities built to serve
Satterwythe Subdivision. The system consists of a small collection
system and pumping station, and treatment facilities including three
facultative lagoons and spray irrigation system.
At the time of my final inspection on Tuesday, the 31st, the
facilities had been completed in basic conformance to the plans and
specifications with the following exceptions:
1. Fencing around the spray fields on the western side of the Duke
Power Right of Way was not yet complete.
2. The piping associated with the spray field pumps was not freeze
protected.
3. Additional minor landscaping has yet to be completed.
It is anticipated that these items will be completed within one week.
At the time of the inspections, the facilities were operable and
the collection system pump station and the spray field pump station
were turned on and the operation observed. It was also recommended
that a timer override be included in the control circuitry for the
spray field pump which will be added to the control panel.

Due to the fact that only two houses are to be initially connected to
the system, (the ultimate total number of connections is 15) and in
light of the extensive volume in the facultative ponds, it is not
anticipated that any spraying to the spray fields will be done for
several months.
On the basis of periodic and final inspections, please find attached
our certificate of completion for these facilities.
Please advise of any questions or comments.

RE: Waste Disposal System for Satterwythe Place Project -
Dear Rex:
Please let me apologize for the misunderstanding that we had regarding the
timing of the completion of the waste disposal system for_Satterwythe Place.
We should have been more knowledgable about the requirements.
Following notification by your department of the problem we have met with
Mr. Carroll Weber of Mid -South Utilities and Mr. Dale Stewart who designed the
system to establish a plan for completion. We will complete the system per
the approved plan no later than 90 days from March 1, 1988 and given we have
acceptable weather have established a target of 60 days for completion- The_
utility will then be turned over to Mid -South Inc., per the approved plan, to
own and operate. -
I am currently living in the community and there is"one other he4mze._in the
subdivision. The occupants of this home have been apprised of the situation
and I am attaching a copy of a letter from both of us reflecting this
situation.
We will check the waste collection area at 9:00 A.M. on a daily basis to
determine if it needs to be pumped. We will do everything possible to prevent
any spillage. v�e�.R� , lr� w,11 �e a. C-,a I Res-'

As we have discussed the sewer system is not complete at this point in time.
Pleasant Lane Association Inc. is currently working with Mecklenburg County
and North Carolina State officials to establish a completion date which is
estimated to be between 60 and 90 days. We are currently utilizing the waste
collection system (which is complete) and are pumping and hauling the waste
routinely from the pumping station. We understand that your office will allow
us to continue to pump and haul sewage for 90 days after which point we will
be required to vacate the premises.
We will keep you informed of our progress and look forward to -a speedy
completion of this system.

On February 18, 1988, Mr. Ray Tilley of the Mecklenburg
County Department of Environmental Protection (MCDEP) conducted an
inspection at Satterwythe Place Subdivision which revealed that
two homes within the subdivision were occupied without completion
and approval of the community's water and sewer systems. Our
review of these systems has revealed the following deficiencies:
Community Water System
1. Iron filters not connected.
2. Large storage tank not connected.
3. Automatic chlorinator not connected.
4. Recorded site plans, deeds and approved State plans not
provided to MCDEP.
Community Sewer System
1. Sewage collection and treatment system not completed.
2. Raw sewage on the ground around the pump station on
Satterwythe Drive.
Please be aware that the occupancy of the two dwellings
within the subdivision has been done without approval from MCDEP
and presents a threat to public health. Therefore, MCDEP will
take action to ensure that occupancy permits are not issued for
this subdivision. Furthermore, you are hereby directed to
implement the following actions immediately upon receipt of this
letter:
1. Notify the owners of the two occupied homes concerning this
situation.

GROUNDWATER SECTION
November 7, 1986
TO: Arthur Mouberry
FROM: Bob Cheek Abe -
SUBJECT: Treatment Ponds and Spray Irrigation System
Satterwhite Place Subdivision APN 008118
Mecklenburg County
Upon review of the original application plus subsurface
investigation report prepared by Law Engineering (LETCO) and
dated October 24, 1986, we would make the following comments
and recommendations:
(a) Boring #3 of the LETCO report indicates partially
weathered rock with a permeability of about 1 x 10-3
cm/sec, at a depth of 8.0 feet.
(b) It appears from the boring log at #3 that the
underlying material is becoming more porous and per-
meable with depth. Boring #3 is at the site of the
proposed 3-cell lagoon, cell #1 of which is less than
50 feet from the property boundary.
Given the existing site conditions, we would recommend
permit issuance with the following conditions:
(1) That the bottom of the excavation for the lagoon be
no lower than an elevation of 712 feet and that this
excavation contain,a one (1) foot thick liner of nat-
ural-gaterials with a permeability no greater than 1
x 10 cm/sec when compacted to 95% Proctor.
(2) One upgradient well and 3 downgradient groundwater
quality monitor wells be installed - 1 downgradient
at the lagoon and 2 downgradient at the spray fields.
(3) The four wells should be completed and sampled at
least 30 days prior to initial wastewater disposal
into the lagoon or onto the spray fields. The ini-
tial sampled parameters should include: TOC, TOX,
Total Coliform, Cl and Water Levels.

V.
(4) Within 60 days of waste disposal an analysis of the
waste stream (a) immediately prior to entrance into
the lagoon and (b)immediately prior to land applica-
tion should be submitted by the applicant, such anal-
ysis to identify the inorganic, natural organic and
synthetic organic constituents of these waste
streams.
(5) Based on the types and concentrations of constituents
identified in (4) above, groundwater monitoring pa-
rameters will be established.
(6) The -monitor wells will be sampled triannually during
the months of July, August and November.

As part of the Division of Environmental Management's com-
prehensive approach in addressing the impact of waste treat-
ment, storage, or disposal projects on the environment, your
permit application has been forwarded to us for assessment of
the potential impact of the project on groundwater quality.
Our initial review indicates that the data submitted is
not sufficient to make this assessment.
Before your application can be processed therefore, you
are requested to submit the following information to the
Groundwater Section. This information must be submitted in full
within 60 days of the date of this letter. Failure to comply
may result in the returning of this application as incomplete.
(1) Hydrogeologic profile, via hand or powered soil auger
borings, to a depth of 10 feet below the base of the
treatment ponds or partially weathered bedrock, whichever
is less and to a depth of 10 feet below land surface in
the spray irrigation field or partially weathered,
whichever is less. The number should be sufficient to
define:
(a) the major types of lithologic strata underlying the
site

(c) depth of the mean seasonal high water table (if
definable from soil morphology or from evaluation of
other applicable available data)
NOTE: In the event the permitted facility will utilize
several separate spray irrigation fields
overlying different major soil types, at least
one (1) hydrogeologic profile should be
established for each of the major soil types.
(2) Please indicate the nature and type of material to be used
to line the proposed treatment ponds. The Division re-
quires natural clay liners be at least one foot thick a_t6
all locations and have a maximum permeability of 1 x 10

Gentlemen:
As authorized by David Lane of Pleasant Lane Associates, Law Engineering
Testing Company has completed subsurface exploration work for the subject
project. The purpose of this exploration was to develop. information about the
site and subsurface conditions and also to provide hydrogeologic information for
the proposed construction. This report describes the work performed and
presents the results obtained, along with our evaluation of the subsurface
conditions encountered by the borings.
SITE AND PROJECT INFORMATION
The site is located northeast of the intersection of Satterwythe Lane and
Rocky River Road (S.R. 2802) in northeastern Mecklenburg County. Currently
envisioned at the site will be spray irrigation fields and treatment ponds.
Ground surface elevations range from about 707 to 721 in the area of the
Treatment Ponds and about 702 to 726 ft in the area of the Spray Fields.
The above information has been obtained from conversations between Mr. David
Lane of Pleasant Lane Associates and our Mr. Mel Browning, and the furnished
Utilities Site Plan.

FIELD EXPLORATION
h.Dee so�'.rlM"t 1 �bpr nr�rs�'WeTe drilled at the site at the approximate
locations shown on the attached Boring Location Plan. The boring locations were
selected by Pleasant Lane Associates and were located in the field by our drill
crew from map —scaled distances, using a tape and estimated right angles. The
elevations on the Boring Records were estimated by interpolating between the
ground surface contours (cnRtu"ritZe atil `) on the furnished site plan.
The borings were drilled by mechanically advanced, hollow —stem steel augers.
Soil sampling and penetration testing were performed general accordance with
ASTM D 1586. At regular intervals, soil samples were obtained with a standard
1 . 4 — i n c h I . D . , 2—inch 0. D. , } t60Mte Esa�p1�e' r. The sampler was first seated
6 inches to penetrate any loose cuttings, and then driven an additional 12
inches with blows of a 140—pound hammer falling 30 inches. The number of hammer
blows required to drive the sampler the final 12 inches was recorded and is
designated the "penetration resistance". The penetration resistance, when
properly evaluated, is an index to the soil's strength. .
Representative portions of the soil samples, thus obtained, were placed in
glass jars and transported to the laboratory. In the laboratory, the samples
were examined by a geologist to verify the driller-s field classifications.
Test Boring Records are attached, showing the soil descriptions and penetration
resistances.
AREA GEOLOGY
The project site is located in the Piedmont Physiographic Province, an area
underlain by ancient igneous and metamorphic rocks. The virgin soils
encountered in this area are the residual product of in —place chemical
weathering of rock which was similar to the rock presently underlying the site.
In areas not altered by erosion or disturbed by the activities of man, the
typical residual soil profile consists oflay�e�y�s:oslsce, where
soil weathering is more advanced, underlain by#sandy=rsrjlRt_s. andegs�l_ys`a_rid�. The
ef
boundary between soil and rock is not sharply dlned. This transitional zone
termed "partially weathered rock" is normally found overlying the parent
bedrock. Partially weathered rock is defined, for engineering purposes, as
residual material with standard 'penetration resistances in excess of 100 blows
per foot. Weathering is facilitated by fractures, joints and by the presence of
less resistant rock types. Consequently, the profile of the partially weathered
rock and hard rock is u ,tey�i.r.re,uu51faTr an,d a =rat .c;x eVen o�er,;:sba�to

zones of partially weathered rock within the soil mantle, well above the general
bedrock level.

Near —surface, ghl�y ;p�l,aswtxc c_1;eysolsFacNu`ibecQmmn in this area of
Mecklenburg County eTh se clayey soils are often discontinuous in area and
usually only a few feet thick. They are known to contractors by various local
names such as "kbu"1a1'" w" andtrl=a.clt'jack".
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
At the surface, the borings encountered several inches of a sandy silt soil
or topsoil underlain by stiff to very stiff slightly sandy to sandy silty
(plastic) clay (bull's tallow) to depths, of ~; = t'o .5 �eet. Boring B-3 did
not encounter bull's tallow, but a stiff micaceous sandy clayey silt to a depth
of 3.0 feet. Underlying soils consisted of variably micaceous hard sandy silts
and firm to very dense silty sands. These residual soils are the result of in —
place weathering of parent bedrock materials.
Material hard enough to be classified as partially weathered rock was
encountered at a depth offtlao�agB'3t. The partially weathered rock
material recovered by the split spoon sampler consisted of micaceous silty sand.
The •b zRinig:s-Awe;r - d>Yy3Ato the termination depths at the completion of
drilling. The recovered samples do not exhibit evidence of groundwater
fluctuations within the boring depths, such as soil mottling. Perched water
often occurs in such areas when surface water percolates through the overlying
soils and is trapped above the bull's tallow cla-y,or the harder partially
weathered rock materials. Groundwater levels may fluctuate several feet .with
seasonal and rainfall variations. Normally, the,whAi�g�h:ejsjtng�roun�dwa,ter� rel

The above descriptions provide a general summary of the subsurface
conditions encountered. The attached Test Boring Records contain detailed
information recorded at each boring location. These Boring Records represent
our interpretation of the field logs based on examination of the field samples.
The lines designating the interfaces between various strata represent
approximate boundaries and the transition between strata may be gradual.

Please find enclosed three sets of revised plans for this
project reflecting our phone discussions and comments received
from Mecklenburg County. The following revisions should be noted:
1) Name changed from Satterwyyte to Satterwythe..
2) Emergency storage volume in the ponds has been increased by
reducing the proposed free board to 12 inches, --based on a
re-evaluation of the water balance with Dr. Bob Rubin.
3) Requirement for rip -rap on the pond slopes ha-s been added for
erosion protection.
4) Approximate location of three ground water monitoring wells
has been added with final field location to be coordinated
with the regional office.
5) The.proposed community well has been relocated to provide
greater separation from the drainfields, elevate pit higher
above the fields and situate it totally within.th.e boundary of
the existing property.
6) A note has been added regarding operation of­th-e chlorination
facilities so as to minimize impact to spray field undergrowth.

Re: ^Satterwythe Waste Treatment Facilities
Permit Number 13978
Dear Arthur:
On Friday, May 27, 1988, and Tuesday, May 31, 1988, I conducted a
final inspection of waste treatment facilities built to serve
Satterwythe Subdivision. The system consists of a small collection
system and pumping station, and treatment facilities including three
facultative lagoons and spray irrigation system.
At the time of my final inspection on Tuesday, the 31st, the
facilities had been completed in basic conformance to the plans and
specifications with the following exceptions:
1. Fencing around the spray fields on the western side of the Duke
Power Right of Way was not yet complete.
2. The piping associated with the spray field pumps was not freeze
protected.
3. Additional minor landscaping has yet to be completed.
It is anticipated that these items will be completed within one week.
At the time of the inspections, the facilities were operable and
the collection system pump station and the spray field pump station
were turned on and the operation observed. It was also recommended
that a timer override be included in the control circuitry for the
spray field pump which will be added to the control panel.

Due to the fact that only two houses are to be initially connected to
the system, (the ultimate total number of connections is 15) and in
light of the extensive volume in the facultative ponds, it is not
anticipated that any spraying to the spray fields will be done for
several months.
On the basis of periodic and final inspections, please find attached
our certificate of completion for these facilities.
Please advise of any questions or comments.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Applicant proposes to construct a spray irrigation wastewater treatment
facility to serve a proposed 15 home subdivision,, with -each home-Icontaining 3
to 4 bedrooms. Applicant's -.projected flow'of 480 gpd per home appears reasonable.
Applicant has indicated a buffer area of 200 feet surrounding the wetted
perimeter of the spray field. The Mooresville Regional Office recommends that
a 400 foot buffer be required from the wetted perimeter to the closest occupied
dwelling as noted in the proposed draft regulations.
Soils found on the site according to the design engineer are of an Enon,
Vance -like mixture. These soils are considered provisionably suitable for a
receiver of spray irrigation effluent. Typical soil depths range from 18-24
inches for these soils with a saprolitic layer underlying. The soils on this site
were found to have a thin layer of loamy topsoil which should provide for good
infiltration of the spray effluent to the lower soil layers. Limitations usually
found with these types of soils (slow permeability and erosion
potential)will be insignificant considering the well established stand of mixed
hardwoods and pine present in the proposed spray field area. These trees will
also aid in absorption and reduce over -spray caused by heavy winds. This wooded
area will also minimize spray field management since the trees are well established.
Periodic soil sampling throughout the spray field is necessary to insure recommended
loading practices are being followed.
The engineer has proposed an instantaneous loading rate of 0.2-0.3 inches
per hour with an application cycle no more frequently than every 2-3 hours.

Page Three
Ample spray area is available based on hydraulic, nitrogen and phosphorous
loading rates. The hydraulic loading rate was also calculated based on a 20
year rainfall event.
The spray field will be divided into 0.5 acre areas which will allow
redirection of the waste flow from one area to another allowing for repairs to
spray equipment and possible site failure. It will also provide flexibility
in the overall operation and maintenance.
The forest crop located on the site should be ideal as a receiver crop
for the pretreated wastewater. Smaller underbrush should be removed from this
area to allow for optimum distribution of the wastewater from the spray headers.
A maintenance program for this spray field area should be developed to insure
each spray head functions properly and that undergrowth is kept under control.
According to the Mooresville Regional Office groundwater personnel, their
comments regarding this facility have been forwarded to the Raleigh Central
Office.
It is recommended that the request for a non -discharge Permit be approved.

Dear Mr. Mouberry:
4�t RPt1i; j a C, iGINEERINO
The Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Health
has reviewed the preliminary plan for the subject subdivision
which shows wastewater disposal through a spray field. The
Department is opposed to the issuance of a permit for this
proposed discharge based on the following grounds:
1. Site plan shows no sewage pretreatment. Aerobic
pretreatment is necessary to avoid unacceptable odor
problems.
2. Site plan shows no wet weather storage which is needed for
such a treatment system.
3. No information is supplied for the suitability of the soil to
accept wastewater irrigation.
4. No repair area or alternate spray field area is shown on the
site plan.
5. The well site for the community water supply system is
located downslope of part of the spray field and there is
concern that contamination of the water supply may occur.
6. No groundwater monitoring is shown on the site plan.
1200 Blvthe Boulevard 0 Charlotte, North Carolina 28203 0 [phone]

The Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Health
requests that the discharge permit for this wastewater disposal
system be denied.
If you have any questions, please call me at 376-4603.

foundations, vaults, and any other- excavation required for the
proper completion of this contract are covered by this
specifications.
1. Trench Excavation: No more than 1.00 LF of trench shall be
opened in advance of the pipe laying unless prior approval is
given by the Engineer. Ground conditions and/or location will be
considered by the Engineer- in making this determination.
a. Trench Width: "french width for pipe six (b) inches and larger
in inside diameter shall be equal to the outside diameter (as
measured at the pipe barrel) of the pipe plus sixteen (ib) inches.
Trench width for pipe smaller than six (b) inches inside diameter
shall be no wider than absolutely necessary to place the pipe in
the trench, since this pipe can be jointed above the ground and
then placed in the trench.
Trench width shall be measured between faces of cut at an
elevation twelve (12) inches above the top -of the pipe. bell. If
the Contractor varies from this requirement without prior approval
of the Engineer, he shall at his own expense install Class II or
Class III bedding as directed by the Engineer.
b. Trench Bottom Conformation: The excavation shall be made to
the elevations, grades, and lines shown on the Construction Flans
unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. The trench bottom
shall be excavated slightly above grade and cut down to the pipe
grade by hand in the fine grading operation. The trench bottom
shall be true and even with bell holes at each joint to provide
the barrel of the pipe with soil and/or granular bedding (as
applicable) support for its full length. This should prevent
point loading at the bells. If the trench bottom is inadvertently
cut below grade, the Contractor shall (at his own expense) fill
it to grade with approved MATERIAL THOROUGHLY TAMPED.
Pipe depth and/or soil conditions may require a granular
embedment. This bedding shall also be shaped to allow adequate
support of the pipe.'
If the trench passes either under or over another pipeline or
previous excavation, the Contractor shall make the Engineer aware
of same and, if so instructed, install concrete encasement for the
length specified. The trench bottom in this area shall be tamped,
if necessary, so the disturbed soil has approximately the same
supportive strength as the native soil.
2. Excavation for Structures: The excavation shall be made to
the lines, grades and elevations shown on the Flans and Standard
Details. The area excavated shall be limited to no more than is
deemed necessary by the Engineer to allow the proper installation
of the structure and shall remain open no longer than is necessary
for the proper and complete installation of the structure.

a. Structure Fit. Bottom Conformation: The pit bottom shall be
true and even, and capable of supporting the structure. If the
pit bottom is inadvertently cut below grade, the Contractor shall
(at his own expense) fill it to the proper elevation with concrete
Poured integral with the main body of the concrete structure. No
earth refill will be permitted.
b. Footings and Thrust Blocks:
The oo�redee9s°theoetcagation
pipeline thrust blocks shall be pagainst
(undisturbed earth) and any excess e::cavation shall be refilled
with concrete.
All extra concrete required for refill due to the Contractor
carrying excavation beyond the proper lines and grades shall be
furnished and placed at his own expense.
Excavation for Dore Fits: The excavation shall be controlled
by the limits of the existing right-of-way and shall not exceed
these without prior written approval of the current property
owner. The excavation shall be made to the proper elevation, line
and Grade to install the casing pipe as shown on the construction
plans.
a. Bore Fit Conformation: The pit bottom shall be true and even
with adequate stabilization to maintain proper elevation and grade
on the boring rig for the duration of the bore.
4. Rock Excavation: Rock excavation shall be defined as solid
ledge rock: that requires drilling and blasting, sledging, or
barring for its removal. Soft, disintegrated rock that can be
removed with a pick shall no be classified as solid rock.
Boulders greater than one cubic yard in volume will also be
.considered rock excavation. Smaller boulders and soft rock which
in the opinion of the Engineer can be excavated by the use of a
power shovel, without undue delay, shall not be classified as
rock:.
Flock shall be removed to the following limits as measured between
vertical planes - twelve (12) inches outside the pipe bell -
parallel to the water line and for a depth of six (b) inches below
the pipe to the water line and for a depth of six (b) inches below
the pipe bell. Rock around structures shall be removed to the
same twelve (12) inch limit as measured between vertical planes
around the structure, but only to a depth necessary to allow
proper installation.
When rock removal is necessary pursuant to pipeline installation
either Type II or Type III bedding shall be installed as specified
and directed by the Engineer.
5. Riling excavated Material: Al]. excavated material shall be
piled in a manner that will not endanger the work:. Excavated
material: will be piled a safe distance away from the edge of the
excavation, no material will be piled within three (3) feet of the

nearest edge. Sidewalks, driveways, hydrants, valve pit covers,
valve boxes, curb stop boxes, e;: i st i nq manholes, fire and police
call boxes, or other utility controls shall be unobstructed and
accessible until the word: is completed. Gutters, catch basins,
and natural watercourses shall not be obstructed or silted.
When working close to a creeEl channel or natural watercourse the
Contractor shall pile all e;:cavated material on the side of his
e;;cavation away from the watercourse.
B-5. Water Removal: The Contractor shall at all times provide and
maintain ample means and equipment with which to remove and
properly dispose of water entering the excavation or other parts
of the work and shall Eceep all e:;cavations dry until such time as
pipe laying and grading is completed and structures are completed.
Water shall not be allowed to rise around the pipe in unbackfilled
trenches nor shall it be allowed to rise over masonry until the
concrete or mortar has set (minimum 24 hours). All water pumped
or drained from the work shall be disposed of in such a manner as
to minimize siltation and erosion on adjacent property or other
construction.
B-b. Sheeting, Sheathing, Shoring and Bracing: Sheeting,
sheathing, shoring, and bracing shall be used whenever necessary
to prevent caving of trench banks. The Contractor shall make
himself fully aware of all rules, regulations, laws and ordinances
governing safe construction practices. Faulty and/or unsafe
construction practices will be reported. to the appropriate

replaced to the satisfaction of the Engineer and the tests repeated
until the requirements of -this specification are met. Any
special equipment, pumps, etc. required to make the test shall
be furnished and operated by the contractor as directed by the
Engineer. The Contractor shall use great care to be sure that
all air is expelled from each section under test. If fire hydrants
or other openings are not available for the purpose of expelling
air, the Contractor shall provide air releases of sufficient size
(as determined by the Engineer).
Field Testing Valves: In addition to manufacturer testing
and certification as specified and required, field test or any or
all valves will be made as directed by the Engineer as outlined
in AWWA Specifications C500 and C504 as applicable.
During the last stages of the test and without any reduction
in pressure, first the hydrant guard valves will be closed, then
progressing in an orderly manner from the end opposite the test
pump, each main line valve will be closed and pressure released
to determine if it is holding pressure (minimum 30 minutes).
Unless otherwise directed by the Engineer, each Butterfly
Valve will be tested to 150 PSI for a minmum of 30 minutes after
the pipeline has been successfully tested.

The Contractor shall. -be required to provide as many tests
and/or certifications as the Engineer may deem necessary for
materials, such as conrete, piping, valves, etc. Testing for
materials shall be made by a separate independent test laboratory
employed by the contractor and approved by the Engineer.
C-2. Tests For Sewers
Tests to be made for leakage and infiltration of water into
sewers shall be made prior to making connections with other sewers,
pipes or drains unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer.
The intial 100 feet of sewer constructed shall be tested
prior to backfilling before the Contractor will be allowed to
continue laying additional sewer pipe. Other intermediate leakage
tests during construction shall be made as required by the Engineer.
Upon completion of the work of any sewer, it shall be tested for
watertightness and shall meet the requirements set €orth.below
before final acceptance of the work of the Contract.
Tests shall be made by filling the sewer with water and
measuring the quantity of leakage from the sewer. The head of
water during the tests shall be maintained at least two feet
above the highest section of the work being tested. Where work
being tested has been constructed in water bearing soils, leakage
tests may, at the discretion of the Engineer, -be made -by measuring
the quantity of infiltration into the sewer.
The allowable leakage or infiltration per twenty-four hours
per inch of diameter per mile of sewer -tested shall not exceed
200 gallons.

D. Chlorination
D-1. General
Work in connection with disinfection of water shall be done
in complete accordance with the requirements of the North Carolina

the Contractor.
All interior surfaces of new potable water supply systems,
including wells, filters, storage tanks and distribution lines
shall be thoroughly disinfected by means of hypochlorite or
chlorine solutions, after which bacteriological test samples shall
be collected.
After disinfection the,water supply shall not be placed into
service until bacteriological. test results of representative
water samples analyzed in an approved laboratory are found to be
satisfactory.
A minimum chlorine concentration of 50 PPM shall be obtained
in all parts of the distribution system. This disinfectant shall
remain within the system for a minimum of 24 hours,. prior to
sampling. The treated water in all portions of the main shall.
have a residual of not less than 10mg/l free chlorine.
D-2. Wells
Any deep well constructed under this contract shall be
disinfected by adding chlorine in sufficient quantities to produce
a resudual of 50 PPM. The chlorine -shall be thoroughly dispersed
using .a chemical feed line. If such a line has not been installed
the chlorine solution may be applied through a hose which will
reach to the bottom of the well.
After adding -the chlorine the interior of the casing, pump
column, etc. shall be thoroughly agitated by intermittently
starting and stopping the pump motor at 15-second intervals.
The Chlorine shall remain in the well for a minimum of
twenty-four hours, after which time the well shall be pumped
until there is no evidence of chlorine present, as to be determined
by the ortho-tolidine test. Several water samples should be
collected and if satisfactory results arp obtained, the well may
then be placed in-service.

a. Type I - Shaped Bottom Bedding; Shaped Bottom bedding shall
be such that the pipe bears uniformly upon undisturbed native
earth. Soil is then backfi11ed by hand around the pipe and
COMPLETELY under the pipe haunches in uniform layers not
exceeding six (6) inches in depth to an elevation one (1) foot
above the top of the pipe bell. Each layer shall be placed; then
carefully and uniformly tamped.
b. Type II - GranularMaterial Embedment: For Type II bedding,
the trench bottom shall be undercut a minimum of six. (6) inches
below the pipe barrel grade and filled -with an approved stone to
an elevation such that the pipe will be completely and uniformly
bedded to.a vertical height of one-third the outside diameter of
the pipe for the pip's entire length and the entire width of the
ditch. Type II embedment shall be used only as directed by the
Engineer.
C. Type III Granular Material Embedment: For Type III bedding,
the trench bottom shall be under cut a minimum of 6) inches
to
below the pipe barrel grade and filled with an approved

Granular material embedment shall be used only as directed by the
Engineer.
d. Concrete Encasement and Cradles: Concrete encasement or
cradles will be used only as designed for individual cases or as
directed by the Engineer.
-e. Trench -Bottom Stabilization: Stabilization stone shall be
used when the trench must be undercut in excess of the six (6)
inches required for Type II or Type III bedding, either due to
excessive ground water or the existence of unsuitable material
incapable of adequately supporting the pipe.
The Contractor shall undercut the trench as necessary and shall
place and compact the stone stabilization Material required to
establish a stable bottom to receive either the Fype II or Type
III granular bedding and pipe.
Approved stone stabilization material may also be used to
construct a stable bottom for structures, as directed by the
Engineer.
When granular material embedment is required, the Contractor will
back'fill above the granular bedding as specified for Type T
bedding to an elevation one (1) foot above the top of the pipe.
'Trench widths must be maintained as previously specified to one
foot above the pipe bell. Deviation from the specified width
will necessitate an increase in the stone bedding around the pipe
at the Contractor's expense.

3. When a water main crosses an existing sewer lateral or main,
the Contractor shall replace the sewer pipe spanning the ditch
with ductile iron pipe (minimum thickness Class 5) when the
followinq conditions occur:
a. Anytime a water main is installed under a sewer pipe.
b. When a water main is over a sewer pipe and the vertical

direction of laying, unless directed otherwise by the Engineer.
Every precaution shall be tak-en to prevent foreign material from
entering the pipe while it is being placed. If the pipe laying
crew cannot put the pipe into the trench and in place without
getting earth into it, the Engineer may require that before
lowering the pipe into the trench, a heavy, tightly woven canvas
bag of suitable size shall be placed over each end and lest there
until the connection is to be made to the adjacent pipe. During
laying operations, no debris, tools, clothing or other materials
shall be placed in the pipe.
After placing a length of pipe in the trench, the spigot end shall
be centered in the bell and the pipe forced home and brought to
correct line and grade. The pipe shall be secured in place with

SITE INVESTIGATION
Lane Development
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
A 50+-acre site was investigated for Mr. David Lane in Mecklenburg County,
North Carolina. The site was located near the Mecklenburg/Cabarrus County
line. The site was originally intended to serve as a subdivision and utilize
on -site wastewater treatment and disposal facilities at each individual
dwelling unit. An investigation by the county health department indicated that
large portions of the site are considered unsuitable for these alternatives.
This finding was largely confirmed by an on -site investigation.
Large areas of the site do appear to contain a mix of Enon and Vance -like
soils. These soils are described in subsequent portions of this report. There
are serious limitations to the use of these soils as receiver soils for
subsurface treatment and disposal of waste.
There are two purposes for the brief report which follows. The first is
to describe the conditions encountered on the proposed wastewater receiver
sites. The second is to make recommendations regarding appropriate use of the
site. At present, the developer is proposing to develop a community on -site
wastewater treatment and disposal facility on the land and utilize either a
slow rate spray irrigation system, a community low pressure distribution
system, or a mechanical wastewater treatment facility to handle the wastewater
generated from the five homes proposed for this development.
Topography
The proposed site is located in an area typical of the piedmont
physiogeographic province of the state. The topography is complex. Slopes
range from nearly level along the few streams in the area and on the ridge tops
to gently to steeply sloping along the side slopes. The sites selected for
investigation were characteristically either flat or gently rolling, and the

Oa
maximum slope investigated appeared to be less than 10 percent. A detailed
topographic map of the area is available and will be submitted along with the
engineering plans and specifications for this site. The predominant aspect on
the site appears to be northeasterly, and this does minimize the potential
development of the soil resource.
Soils
The soils information required to develop the design criteria for a land
treatment system must address both the engineering and agronomic
characteristics of the soil. These data are readily available in published
sources such as the Soil Conservation Service or the county agricultural
extension service. In addition, on -site investigations of the site must be
accomplished by an individual familiar with land based waste management
alternatives as well as with the soil and agricultural management requirements
of a land treatment facility. This on -site determination is critical in the
design and operation of any land treatment facility. In order to accomplish
this on -site investigation, soil auger borings were advanced at many locations
throughout the proposed development. The soils encountered on the proposed
land receiver site appear to be a mix of Enon, and Vance -like soils. These
soils are considered marginally well suited as receiver soils for spray
irrigation of wastewater onto the land. The Vance and Enon-like soils are
considered unsuitable for development of a subsurface wastewater treatment
alternative.
The results of the soil auger borings advanced on the site are included as
an attachment to this report. The two soil profile descriptions are typical

3
or average representations of the soils encountered on the site. The soils are
marginally well suited to the development of a slow rate spray irrigation
facility. There are some limitations to the use of this soil resource as a
receiver for the pretreated waste. The primary limitations are the slow
permeability, the low to moderate shrink/swell capacity of the subsoil, and the
erosion potential of the clay portion of the soil. These limitations can be
overcome through design and proper operation.
?although the soils are considered marginally suitable, the high cation
exchange capacity encountered in the subsoil renders them well suited to treat
and assimilate constituentsin the waste stream. The primary limitations to
the use of the site as previously mentioned do limit its overall suitability,
but the treatment capacity remains extremely high. Based on the soil auger
borings advanced on the site and the representative soil profile descriptions
provided, the soil does not appear to present a serious limitation to the use
of the site as a receiver for pretreated waste applied through a slow rate
spray irrigation system.
Land Use
The predominant land use on the proposed waste receiver site is forest
land. If a permit is granted for a slow rate spray irrigation system, then the
land must remain in some agricultural or silvicultural production. Forest
crops are ideal as receiver crops for wastewater. No additional nutrients
would be required on the site if a permanent forest crop were selected as the
final receiver for the waste. Periodic soil sampling is essential to ensure
that the recommended practices are followed.

4
Application Method
The primary objective of slow rate spray irrigation is to alleviate or
eliminate the surface discharge of pollutants into receiver waters. This is
accomplished by spray irrigation of pretreated wastewater at very controlled
rates onto the soil surface. Once wastewater is applied to the surface of the
soil, it moves into and through the soil profile by processes called
infiltration and percolation. The method of application most suited to this
particular soil, vegetation, climatic and topographic condition is a slow rate
spray irrigation system. The instantaneous application rate must not exceed
.2 to .3 in/hr., and waste application should be accomplished no more
frequently than 2 to 3 hours/cycle on an as needed basis. Given the depth of
topsoil encountered on the site, application at a rate of two to three hours
per day percycle and .2 to .3 in/hr. should not exceed the capacity of the
forest litter and the sandy topsoil to adequately store and assimilate the
hydraulic loading. Actual calculation of the loading rate is accomplished in
the following section.
A slow rate spray irrigation system is the most accepted and tested method
for land treatment. It is well suited to a variety of conditions. A spray
irrigation system can be designed to achieve very high levels of treatment and
renovation generally at a minimum of cost. Both the operations and maintenance
cost as well as the initial installation costs are considered low when compared
to comparable levels of treatment via mechanical or in —plant processes. The
vegetation selected for growth on the site must be capable of removing
nutrients from the waste stream and of transpiring large quantities of water.
The established forest crop on the site meets these requirements ideally. The
nutrient removal potential of the forested system is somewhat limited and some

5
forest management program may be required depending on soil testing. A forest
management program consisting of simply replanting seedlings on the site to
allow high nutrient uptake may be all that is necessary.
Generally, a forested site can accept 100-150 lbs. of nitrogen/acre/year
and a loading of 50-80 lbs. of.phosphorus/acre/year. In addition to the
nutrient uptake capability of the vegetation, soils do have tremendous capacity
to store or fix constituents in the waste stream. The Vance and Enon-like
soils encountered on the proposed waste receiver site do have tremendously high
capacities to fix phosphorus.• The phosphorus contained in the waste stream
will be stored at exchange sites in the soil complex and phosphorus movement
should not be a problem with the operation of this facility. Similarly, these
soils do have a high capacity to fix and to store nitrogen. Forest soils are
amazingly efficient at denitrification and the loading of nitrogen onto the
site should denitrify quickly and move to the atmosphere.
For purposes of design, a fixed slow rate spray irrigation system is the
most suitable. It is because the instantaneous application rate can be
maintained at relatively low levels and because the operation of such a system
will be rather simple.
Waste Characteristics and Recommended Loadings
The 15 homes proposed for this site are assumed to be three to
four -bedroom homes. Based on an average of 3.5 bedrooms per home and a flow of
150 gal/bedroom/day, the intended waste flow from this facility is calculated
as:
15 homes x 3.5 bedrooms/home x 150 gal/bedroom/day = 7875 gal/day

0
Typical domestic wastewater contains approximately 15-20 ppm of nitrogen and
5 ppm of phosphorus. The nitrogen contained in the waste stream is largely
organic nitrogen and only a small portion of this nitrogen is plant available.
In addition to the nutrients contained in the waste stream, there may be small
concentrations of selected metals. The metals of concern would be zinc and
copper. Zinc may arise from galvanized pipe fittings in the home,'and copper
may arise from the copper pipe used in the hot water system. If the piping in
the home is PVC, then metal constituents in the waste stream should be
minimized. In general, domestic wastewater does contain very low quantities
of metal, and heavy metal accumulations in the soil are generally of no
consequence. For this reason, the heavy metal loadings are ignored for
purposes of this design. Pretreatment in residential waste treatment systems
is generally afforded in a septic tank and sand filter system. Storage can be
provided in a series of tanks following the sand filter and chlorination
facility which can then serve as pump stations. Assuming an average waste flow
of 7875 gal/day and the requirement to store four to five days' flow, then
approximately 30 to 45 days of storage will be required for this facility.
Following the pretreatment train, settling, filtration, disinfection and
storage, the nutrient concentration in the waste stream should be reduced. The
phosphorus will be stored in the septage, and large portions of the nitrogen
will volatilize. Nonetheless, there will be nutrients applied to the site.
The nutrient and hydraulic input into this system can be calculated as:
7875 gal/day x 365 days/yr = 2,874,375 gal/year
This load must be assimilated at a rate determined by the hydraulic balance. A
hydraulic balance for the most restrictive of the soils encountered on the

7
d
proposed receiver site indicates that approximately 33 inches of water can be
applied to the site in any given year. This 33 inches of additional hydraulic
input is based upon a rainfall condition that is representative of a highest
rainfall figure in any 20-year period of time. Based on a loading of
33 inches/acre/year, the 2,874;375 gallon/year load can be assimilated on a
site containing:
2,874,375 gal/yr = 3.21 ac.
27,154 gal/ac/in 33
A 3.25-acre site appears sufficiently large to handle the waste flow generated
by the 15 homes proposed for this development.
Nitrogen Load.
The annual nitrogen load into this facility is calculated as:
2.87 MGY x 8.34 x 20 ppm-TN = 478.72 lbs-N/year
As previously stated, the nitrogen can be assimilated on a forested site at a
rate of approximately 100-150 lbs/ac/year. The 478.72 lbs. of nitrogen
generated by the 15 homes can be assimilated on a site containing:
478.72 = 3.19 ac.
150
This does assume no denitrification potential. In fact, the denitrification
potential of a forested site is quite high, and the forested system may prove
to be somewhat deficient in nitrogen. In addition to the nitrogen load, the
phosphorus loading must also be determined. The phosphorus loading onto the
site is based on a phosphorus concentration in the waste stream of 5 ppm.
Based on a concentration of 5 ppm, the phosphorus loading onto the site is
calculated as:

8
�
V
2.87 MGY x 8.34 x 5 = 119.68 lbs-P/year
The phosphorus loading can be assimilated at rate of 50 lbs/ac/year. The land
area required to assimilate the 119.68 lbs. of phosphorus generated by the 15
homes proposed for this development can be assimilated on a site containing
approximately:
119.68 lbs-P/year = 2.39 ac.
50 lbs-P/ac/yr
A 3.25-acre site appears to be more than adequate to assimilate the hydraulic,
nitrogen, and phosphorus loads generated by the five homes proposed for this
development. This 3.25-acre site will be capable of assimilating the hydraulic
input from a worst rainfall condition in 20 years and the additional 33 inches
of wastewater. The average weekly loading generated on the site is
approximately .6 inches/week. This loading can be applied at a rate of .2 to
.3 in./hr in a two to three-hour irrigation cycle. For purposes of design, it
may be most efficient to divide the irrigation acre into sub -areas. Each area
could operate for two to three hours and apply .6 inches. Then a mechanical
valve could be used to redirect the waste flow from one area to a second area.
Each sub -area should contain approximately .5 acres. A simple mechanical valve
is available at very low cost that will control up to four irrigation areas
easily. These K-RAIN, valves are available through irrigation contractors.
Their use on this site is strongly recommended. The primary reason for
dividing the one -acre site into several smaller areas is to allow for operation
in case of emergency or failure of one portion of the system to function
properly. Subdivision of the site into four separate irrigation areas will
facilitate maintenance and provide some flexibility in the overall operation.

9
Vegetation Management -
The current land use on the site is a forested system. At present, the
site is considered suitable as a receiver for waste and the ultimate receiver
crop for the pretreated waste will remain the forested system. Some thinning
of the understory vegetation is strongly recommended to facilitate installation
and operation of the sprinkler system. Selection and management of the proper
vegetation is essential in the overall design and operation of this facility.
Ideally, the vegetation selected for growth on the site should:
1. effectively assimilate nutrients from the wastewater
2. effectively assimilate and transpire the hydraulic input
into the system
3. minimize exposure of bare soils to the waste stream and
thereby minimize erosion potential
4. maximize vegetation growth to maximize nutrient uptake
5. not require long periods for establishment or harvest
The forest crop established on the site meets all of these criteria well. More
importantly, it does require a minimum of maintenance. Under ideal
circumstances, the forest crop established on the site will last for many years
as a receiver crop for this pretreated wastewater. Some management of the
understory vegetation near the sprinkler heads is essential. Should forest or
understory vegetation interfere with the operation of the spray heads, then
overloading will occur in areas of the site. Maintenance of the understory
vegetation minimizes the potential for interference with the spray head. This
understory vegetation management should be accomplished as needed. It will
require periodic (monthly) examination of the spray field to ensure its proper
operation.

Conclusion
A community residential spray irrigation system for the Lane Property
appears to be a viable on -site treatment alternative for these rural homes.
The application of no more than 33 inches of water per year onto the site
should pose no hazard to public health or to environmental quality. The
instantaneous application rate should not exceed .2 to .3 inches/hour and
application events should run no more than 3 hours per week. The application
events can be accomplished at one irrigation or more irrigation cycles per week
provided no more than
.6 inches of wastewater are applied in any given week.
