B Design Basis INT 1-1 r INTRODUCTION 4 l 1-1.01 DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT Silver Bluff -Village is a nursing facility which includes the adjoining properties and facilities of Silver Bluff, LLC, Arrowhead Cove, LLC and Pigeon Valley, LLC. All of these properties are owned by the same owner, and function as one nursing complex. An existing waste water treatment plant is located on the property of Pigeon Valley, LLC and serves all of the nursing complex facilities. The existing wastewater treatment plant is a 25,000 gpd package type, extended aeration process facility which has an influent bar screen, aeration basin, dual secondary clarifiers, dual effluent chlorine contact basins (tablet feeders) a single effluent dechlorination basin (with post air mixing and tablet feeder), effluent pump station and sludge holding basin.. The treated effluent is discharged into the Pigeon River in the French Broad River basin. This existing waste water treatment plant is located approximately 4.25 miles south of Canton, N.C. in Haywood County. This is in an area that is located well beyond the extent of current municipal sewer service. The existing waste water treatment plant has a marginal overall compliance history with NC. DWQ regulations and Silver Bluff has agreed to make improvements to the existing level of treatment being provided. An investigation of the existing facilities and consideration of various alternatives for improvements has resulted in the proposal for improvements and modifications of existing facilities as -described herein. This project is for the addition of a proposed flow equalization basin and sludge digestor to be added at the existing 25,000 gpd package WV\fTP. The existing WWTP does not have influent flow equalization and has an, undersized capacity for sludge holding/digestion. At present, influent enters directly into the WWTP aeration basin. This proposal is to add a rectangular steel flow equalization basin and sludge digestor, formed by relocating an existing package wastewater treatment plant. The existing package wastewater treatment plant is being purchased from an outside source. The proposed flow equalization facilities will receive the raw wastewater from the existing influent sewer and will equalize peaks and surges before pumping into the existing aeration basin and subsequent existing treatment facilities. The flow equalization basin pumps will lift the equalized flow up into the existing WWTP aeration basin. At 25,000 gpd, the average flow rate should be about 17.4 gpm. This would be close to the ideal, continuous pump rate for the equalization basin pumps. Using a peaking factor of 2.5, the design peak flow rate is 43.5 gpm. This will be a duplex pump installation and will have a control panel and floats (4) for HOA operation, alternating pumps, audible and visual alarm. The proposed addition of the flow equalization basin will not alter the existing wastewater L INT-1-2 treatment facilities. All existing facilities will remain in service. The proposed flow equalization facilities will serve to equalize the flows influent to the existing wastewater treatment facilities by dampening, the surges in flow that now occur. ;_ A proposed flow splitter box will receive flow from the proposed flow equalization basin pumps and will allow the rate of flow from the equalization basin to be adjusted and delivered to the aeration basin at a desired, steady rate with excess being returned to the equalization facilities. With this installation, the operator should be able to utilize the proposed equalization basin to receive and dampen the recurring surges in flow now being and control the rate of flow from the equalization basin to a much more uniform rate of delivery,, equalized over the- course of the entire day. A new, larger sludge digestion basin,will be provided that will receive waste sludge from the two (2) existing clarifiers. The digestor will include an adjustable decant/skimmer assembly to allow periodic return -'of clear supernatant into the proposed flow equalization basin. The facility will continue the present practice of periodically removing accumulated sludge from the digestor by pumping to a private licensed hauler for proper disposal off site. The facilities will also include the installation of a new influent solids grinder and a simple bar screen as a back up for removing large solids. J 1-1.02 OWNERSHIP The wastewater treatment facilities are owned and operated by Silver Bluff Realty, LLC. (Silver Bluff) The existing plant shall remain in service at all times during this project and all work shall be coordinated with Silver Bluff.

Dynamically balanced rotor assembly with !0 stainless steel shaft Non -toxic oil in seal oil chamber peller with back vanes ble spiral bottom plate Piranha pumps are equipped with a Sealminder probe in the oil chamber. Should the lower seal leak, allowing water into the oil chamber, the probe activates a warning light or audible alarm. This gives advanced warning allowing for the repair of the pump seal before water enters the motor. The Piranha The shredding rotor and ring of the Piranha System ensures efficient operation in sewage containing solids, and allows blockage -free pumping. Good reasons for being named after the voracious South American fish. How It Works The most effective cutting system for The ABS cutter system features a totally different pressure sewer pumps concept in grinder pump design. The ABS design Opening consists of a lobed rotor cutter attached to a 'ram Stationary centrifugal impeller. A stationary cutting element is cutter fastened to the ABS spiral bottom plate. The lobed rotor turns in the stationary cutter. The stationary Rotor cutter is designed with a wave form. The number of waves is one less than the number of lobes on the rotor. This causes an opening to be formed between the rotor and stationary cutter. The normal pumping action of the impeller causes water and solids to flow into the cutting elements. As the solids are sheared into small particles, they are pumped by the impeller into the discharge pipe. Should any of the finely cut particles try to wedge between the impeller and bottom plate, the outward threaded spiral grooves will move them to the discharge. Applications ABS Piranha grinder pumps move sewage and wastewater at high velocity through contour piping. Recommended for individual or groups of homes, motels, industrial complexes, shopping centers, schools, and many other applications requiring pressure sewer systems. Distributed by: Residential Grinder Pump System The Piranha S20/2 is available as a completely packaged simplex or duplex system. It is.designed for residential and small industrial sewage or sump applications. The pump is recommended for homes in isolated or mountainous areas, and for dewatering of dwellings located in inland protected areas where septic tanks are not permitted. The system includes a basin, chain, pump, cover, check valve, discharge pipe, control box and float switches. Guide Rail Installation For those installations where the ABS Piranha grinder pump must be installed in a deep sump, a guide rail system is available. The ABS guide rail system allows connection of the pump to the discharge pipe by gravity. The pumps are lowered by chain down a single 2" guide rail. As the pump is lowered into ABS reserves the right to alter specifications due to technical developments.

Each unit consists of a grinder, reducer, and controller. Grinder(s) and Motor Controller(s) meet the requirements of the following industry standards: ASTM A536-84: Standard Specification for Ductile Iron Castings AISI 4140 Heat Treated Hexagon Steel AISI 4130 Heat Treated'Alloy Steel 45-50 Rockwell C Each unit of equipment is identified with a corrosion resistant nameplate, securely affixed in a conspicuous place.- Nameplate information includes equipment model number, serial number, manufacturer's name and location. Grinder The grinders are two -shaft design consisting of two parallel shafts alternately stacked with intermeshing cutters and spacers. The two shafts counter -rotate with the driven shaft operating at approximately two-thirds (2/3) the speed of the drive shaft. Each shaft hex is a minimum of 2-inches (51-mm). Grinder drive and driven shafts are made of Heat Treated Hexagon Steel that meets AI5I 4140 standards. Grinder shafts shall have a tensile strength rating of not less than 149,000-PSI (1,027-MPa). The'housings are cast of ASTM A536-84 ductile iron. The cutting stack is a nominal height of 4-1/2-inches (114-mm). Cutters and Spacers The inside configuration of both cutters and spacers is hexagonal so as to fit the shafts with a total clearance not to exceed 0.015-inch (0.381-mm) across the flats to assure positive drive and increase the compressive strength of the spacers. Cutters and spacers are made -of HeatTreated Alloy Steel that meets AISI 4130 standards. Cutters and spacers are surface ground for uniformity and through -hardened to a minimum 45-50 Rockwell C. JWC Environmental SO#: 33873 2 ,I. Cutter Configuration Cutter configuration is designed with one shaft having 5-tooth double-edged cutters and one shaft having 11-tooth cam cutters. To maintain particle size, the height of the tooth does not exceed 1/2 inch (13-mm) above the root diameter. Cutter to cutter root diameter overlap is not less than 1/164nch (1.6-mm) or greater than 1/4-inch (6-mm) to maintain the best possible cutting efficiency while incurring the least amount of frictional losses. The cutter exerts a minimum force of 450 lbs, per HP (2680-N/k/W) continuously and 1430 lbs. per HP (8230-N/kW) at momentary load peaks at the tooth tip. Cutter Shaft Bearings and Seals The cutter shaft's radial and axial loads are borne by a sealed oversize (Conrad type) ball bearing at each end. The bearings are protected by a combination of a replaceable and independent tortuous path device and end face mechanical seals. Face materials are tungsten carbide to tungsten carbide, not requiring an external flush or any periodic lubrication. The mechanical seal is rated at 90-PSI (620-kPa) continuous duty by the seal manufacturer. The bearings are part of a replaceable cartridge that supports and aligns the bearings and seals, as well as protects the shafts. Independent seal design provides protection against axial loading on shafts and bearings during shaft deflection. O-rings are made of Buna-N elastomers. Reducer The speed reducer is a grease filled planetary type of reducer with "Heavy Shock' load classification. The reduction ratio is 29:1. The high-speed shaft of the grinder is directly coupled with the reducer using a three-piece coupling. Motor The electric motor is manufactured by Baldor Electric Co.

IX ENGINEER'S AUTHORITY .................................. 6 APPENDIX I -Manufacturer's Literature SCHEDULE, OF DRAWINGS -Title Page -Site Plan -Clarifier Details I. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT It is proposed to construct a 16' diameter center feed clarifier with air lift sludge return pumps to upgrade the existing 25,000 GPD extended aeration plant. The existing plant receives surge flows and experiences periodic loss of solids over the weir, which prevents the plant from being consistently in compliance with NPDES Permit limits. The addition of a clarifier would give the plant surge capacity. It would change the plant from an extended- aeration plant to a conventional activated sludge plant and give it additional capacity. The site currently consists of the following: - 120 beds @ 120 gpd/bed = 14,400 gpd - 20 person daycare @ 15 gpd/person 300 gpd - 35 staff @ 25 gpd/staff = 875 gpd - 32 person bed Pigeon Valley @ 120 gpd/bed = 3,840 gpd Subtotal = 19,415 gpd In the future the site will consist of the following: - 20 bed nursing home @ 120 gpd/bed = 2,400 gpd - 2 staff@ 25 gpd/staff = 50 gpd - 50 person daycare @ 15 gpd/person = 750 gpd - 10 staff@ 25 gpd/staff = 250 gpd Subtotal = 3,450 gpd Combined Total = 22,865 gpd These Plans and Specifications cover the construction and installation requirements for the proposed wastewater treatment plant upgrade. The Scope of Work for this project is as follows: • Excavate area for installation of 16' diameter clarifier • Install prefabricated 16' clarifier • Installation of piping and clarifier • Backfill and landscape area II. CLEARING Remove in accordance with project plans all trees, shrubs, and obstructions interfering with the excavation. Remove such items elsewhere on -site or premises as specifically indicated. c:wpwin6I\wpdocs\dobson\si1vrb1f.spc 3 Dobson Eng. & Assoc. M. EXISTING UTILITIES The contractor will be responsible for ]orating all underground utilities in the excavation area(s). As a minimum, ULOCO (1-800-632-4949) should be notified at least 48 hours prior to digging. Should uncharted, or incorrectly charted, piping or other utilities be encountered during excavation, consult Mr. Max Longley and utility company immediately for directions. Repair damaged utilities to satisfaction of utility owner. IV. PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY Barricade open excavations occurring as part of this work and clearly marked with construction tape or other appropriate safety marking. Protect structures, utilities, and other facilities from damage caused by settlement, lateral movement, undermining, washout and other hazards created by earthwork operations. V. BACKFILL OPERATIONS The general excavation area will be backfilled with soil previously excavated from the pit, provided that the soil has been and approved by the engineer. The contractor is responsible for backfilling around the clarifier after it has been installed. Backfill shall be compacted to at least 90 percent of the standard Proctor minimum dry density. Any excess soil from the excavation area will be spread in an area identified by the Assistant Administrator, Mr. Max Longley. Backfill materials should be placed carefully along the bottom quadrant of the tank to ensure that the tank is securely and evenly supported. Backfill should be placed carefully around and over the tank to prevent damage to the tank or coating. Compaction of bedding and backfill materials should be adequate to ensure support of the tank, and to prevent movement or settlement. When sand is used, some manufacturers require a specified minimum compaction density. All materials should be forced under the lower quadrant of the tank to prevent voids and achieve the degree of compaction required. VI.

All of �i these properties are owned by the same owner, and function as one nursing complex. An existing waste water treatment plant is located on the.property of 1 Pigeon Valley, LLG and serves all of the nursing complex'facilities. The existing . wastewater treatment plant is a 25,000 gpd package type, extended aeration process facility which has an influent bar screen, aeration basin, dual secondary clarifiers, dual effluent chlorine contact basins (tablet feeders) a single effluent dechlorination basin (with post air mixing and tablet feeder), effluent pump station _ and sludge holding basin. The treated effluent is discharged into the Pigeon River in the French Broad River basin. - J This existing waste water treatment plant is located approximately 4.25 miles i south of Canton, N.C. in Haywood County. This is in an area that is located well beyond the extent of current municipal sewer service. The existing waste water treatment plant has a marginal overall compliance history with NC DWQ regulations and Silver Bluff has agreed to conduct this investigation to consider alternatives to improve the existing level of treatment performance and j to evaluate the possibility of expansion for future growth of the nursing facilities. The existing wastewater treatment facilities have very limited capabilities for accurately measuring effluent discharge. A temporary weir and meter (ISCO -' bubbler type meter and recorder) were installed during the period of August 2, 2008 — August 27, 2008 in order to obtain accurate effluent flow records. These j records are included in Appendix J and show that the facility is treating an average of approximately 20,153 gpd with a peak observed daily flow of 31,685 gpd. The flow measurement readings also revealed peak instantaneous rates (max. 63.1 gpm) that were as high as 4.5 times the average flow rate (14 gpm.) 7 Whereas the existing average daily flows are very near the permitted design flow of 25,000 gpd, and considering that this facility has ahistory of difficulty J maintaining consistent compliance with permit effluent limitations, this study was commissioned to explore the alternatives to address current and possible future wastewater treatment needs. t This evaluation proceeded by first evaluating the possible alternatives for improving existing facilities and expanding the current wastewater treatment/disposal capacity from 25,000 gpd to 50,000 gpd. During this initial phase of evaluation, the intentwas to explore and compare the various options ! that could accomplish both improving existing treatment performance and provide additional capacity for future growth if, and when such growth might occur. _I 4 The conclusion of this initial phase of study was that the most practical alternative to provide the needed improvements and to provide for additional treatment capacity, if and when such capacity might be needed, was to modify and expand the existing wastewater treatment and discharge facilities. In conjunction with the review and assessment of these initial findings, Silver Bluff has determined that they will not need to further consider or pursue the expansion of their current wastewater treatment capacity. This decision to stay at the current limit of 25,000 gpd was partly a result of recognizing that, there are no foreseeable plans for expansions at Silver Bluff that Would necessitate additional wastewater treatment capacity. This was influenced by the realization that, for all intents and purposes, they have no more land available for growth and there are no adjoining properties that can be acquired. Silver Bluff is located within a class WS-III watershed and relies on wells to provide potable water. Silver Bluff has already constructed or is in the process of constructing, buildings that will occupy virtually all potentially developable space. This, coupled with setback- requirements of the Haywood County Watershed Ordinance, including a 100 foot setback to wells, has led Silver Bluff to the realization that they have no potential for future growth at this time that would necessitate an increase in existing wastewater treatment capacity. Also, the significant costs involved in expanding the existing wastewater treatment �I facilities, as estimated in the course of this review, have further influenced Silver Bluff to conclude that, whereas there are no apparent opportunities for future. growth, it is not prudent to seek to expand. the current capacity. i Upon recognizing that the results of the initial phase of evaluation have concluded that it is best not to seek expansion, the evaluation and assessment then. entered a second phase which is basically to develop recommendations to modify the existing wastewater treatment facilities at there existing capacity (25,000 gpd.) 1.02 Scope:. The scope of this project is limited to the investigation and evaluation of alternatives for treating and/or disposing of the wastewaters from the Silver Bluff Village nursing facilities. This includes consideration of the feasibility of continuing the existing discharge and options for eliminating the existing discharge. Section 2: Background Information 2.01 Project Area: The existing service area is limited to the Silver Bluff Village nursing facilities. The nursing facilities presently include 173 beds and a 35 person day care facility. A 5 y current expansion is underway that will add an additional 20 beds to the nursing facility. Ti The existing discharge coordinates are: Longitude: -82 deg. 52 min. 56 sec. W Latitude: 35 deg. 28 min. 45 sec. N - i 2.02 Site Characteristics: 'The facilities are located in a rural portion of Haywood county, outside any municipal limits and remote from public sewer. The nearest existing sewer is 1 approximately 4.25 miles away. The general area has soil characteristics which are very limited to the possibility of on site treatment and disposal. _ Terrain is generally rolling but has: been graded level at the wastewater treatment plant site. 2.03 Receiving Stream Characteristics: _ The receiving stream is the Pigeon River which is Class WS-III, Trout waters. The receiving stream has good flow and slope which creates- desirable turbulence and aeration. This receiving stream has no known outstanding features or characteristics that should preclude the continuation of the existing discharge. There are no known endangered or threatened species and these are not threatened or impaired waters. Section 3: Existing Utilities 3.01 Public Facilities: The nearest existing public sewer is located approximately 4.25 miles north of the existing wastewater treatment plant on NC Highway 110 near Pisgah High School. The distance that would be required for sewer force mains to be installed would be approximately 22,500 ft. This would be the route that appears to be the most practical from an engineering perspective to take advantage of following existing highway right of way and have minimal impact to adjacent property owners. This sewer is operated by the Town of Canton. The Town' Planning Department's office was consulted and has advised that this is the nearest location of available sewer and that the Town has no plans within the next ten .years or beyond to extend service any closer to the Silver Bluff vicinity. 3.02 Private Facilities: I There are no known existing private sewer utilities within any reasonable proximity J of Silver Bluff that would be available for consideration as a possible alternative. A review of available information revealed that the nearest wastewater facilities are the Bethel School wastewater treatment facilities that are located approximately I _ 1.5 miles to the southwest of Silver Bluff. The Bethel School facilities are permitted for 0.015 MGD. This facility- has a very limited size and has its own history of concerns with maintaining adequate treatment capacity and service for the school. Hence,- the Bethel School wastewater facilities are -not a practical alternative for consideration. Other than Bethel School, there are no known other wastewater treatment facilities or sewers within five (5) miles of Silver Bluff. Section 4: Alternatives for Service - 4.01: On site surface and/or subsurface disposal: J Subsurface Disposal: Appendix E contains portions of soil survey reports that provide insight as to the suitability of the soils for subsurface disposal. As described in the report, these soils are mainly Braddock, Evard, Cowee, Fannin, Saunook, Trimont and Hayesville soils with characteristics that are very limited with respect to the potential for subsurface disposal. In addition to researching the information available from NRCS soils maps, the engineer consulted with Mr. Bill Lupton, IRS, Haywood County Environmental Health Department concerning the possibilities of subsurface disposal. Mr. Lupton suggested that, for purposes of evaluating this based on the limited information available, an application rate of 0.3 gpd/SF would be a reasonable conservative assumption. Of course, before a final design and/or approval could be given, an actual on site soils evaluation would be required. For the purposes of evaluating this as a possible option, a design application rate of 0.3 gpd/SF will be used. Subsurface disposal requires buffers and land for the drainfields as well as equal areas of suitable soil, be available and maintained as potential repair/replacement areas. Silver Bluff Village owns some lands around the existing wastewater treatment. 7 facilities. These areas encompass 11.7 acres and are depicted on the location and boundary map in Appendix B. _ Most of these areas have existing buildings and are in use as part of the nursing home facilities. a Given the space constraints and the limitations described in the attached soil survey, it is doubtful, that subsurface disposal is a viable option. This is the problem that led to Silver Bluff Village installing a waste water treatment facility in the first place. If adequate areas of suitable soils had been available, Silver Bluff Village would have preferred to dispose of wastewater by some manner of septic tank and subsurface disposal fields. A full and extensive soils investigation of potential sites would be necessary to completely investigate the remote possibility and to see if useable areas are available. In keeping with the state guidance for alternatives evaluation, the cost effectiveness of this alternative is further evaluated based on- the soils information _! available to determine if a detailed soils analysis is appropriate. The costs associated with this option are estimated in Appendix A. This option would require that the existing wastewater be conveyed to a site or sites having sufficient area for subsurface disposal and a suitable reserve area of equal size, and that these areas include adequate buffers from property lines, homes, wells, etc. Surface Irrigation: Disposal by surface irrigation requires storage capacity for periods of inclement weather when application is not allowable. Therefore, consideration of this as a � possible alternative must also include the provision of storage of the treated waste waters during periods of inclement weather. J As noted earlier, the soils surveys for this area .have determined this to severely limited potential for on site subsurface disposal. Similarly, the soil surveys for this area have determined this. to severely limited potential for surface irrigation. Consideration of this alternative is based on an assumed allowable application rate of 0.75inches per week which is based on a typical range of 0.5 to 1.0 inches per week for this geographic area and the soil conditions generally described in the soils survey: Storage requirements for this area are typically in the range of 45 _ to 90 days. For purposes of this assessment, a storage requirement of 60 days will I be assumed. Due to the size of areas needed for surface irrigation and to maintain the required buffers, the only possible alternative for on -site disposal, either by subsurface or surface application, would require the acquisition of off site properties for disposal. The degree. of treatment required for surface application would be virtually the same as required for treatment and discharge. Although the additional cost of conveyance and the additional costs for on site disposal should readily be recognized as a significant cost increase as compared to the alternative of improving/replacing the existing WWTP, an estimate of the costs for this alternative is included in Appendix A for comparison. The evaluation is based on a very conservative assumption that the nearest available lands that could be reasonably used would actually be available. A comparison of the costs were made first, using the best (lowest cost) reasonable assumptions. It would obviously be necessary to perform a more detailed site investigation and ascertain if the property owner would consider allowing these lands to be acquired for this purpose. 4.02: Wastewater Reuse Options for reuse of wastewater for this area are essentially nil. Reuse is usually associated with non -potable uses such as irrigation. This becomes potentially more viable if there is a need or outlet for reuse such as irrigation of a golf course. This area does not have a golf course, nor are there any -other known viable options for reuse associated with the Silver Bluff community or in the surrounding area. 4.03: Surface Water Discharge This is the current method of wastewater treatment/disposal. The intentions are to upgrade and possibly expand the capacity of the existing facilities to improve the capabilities of the wastewater treatment facilities to comply with permit effluent limitations and to consistently discharge a properly treated effluent. There is sufficient room available on the existing WWTP property to allow for construction of the proposed improvements and modifications while maintaining operations of the existing facilities. Therefore, current operations should continue and the transition can be made to the new facilities with little and only temporary disruption in current treatment processes. The existing effluent pump station will continue to be used since it is generally in sound condition and working well. Only the existing roof/cover of the pump station is in need of repair and this will be replaced. Based on current flows and the pending additions, the WWTP has reached - approximately 91 % of its design capacity. In accordance with NCAC 15A, 2H.022, Silver Bluff is proposing to make the proposed improvements and, in the course of this evaluation, has considered the possibility of expanding the existing treatment capacity for the dual purpose of improving current treatment reliability and to allow for possible future growth and expansion at Silver Bluff. -' Although the WWTP has a history of being marginally compliant with permit - effluent limits, the existing plant has no influent flow equalization facilities and hence, the previously mentioned high rates of peak influent flows have a tendency to cause a short term hydraulic overload resulting in what is referred to as "wash out" of the biological mass in. the aeration basins and solids in the clarifiers. A well balanced and established biomass is essential for maintaining proper treatment in an activated sludge process wastewater treatment facility such as this. This J 9 _ situation limits the effectiveness of the wastewater treatment facility to maintain a consistent and high level of treatment performance. In assessing the possibility of expanding the existing wastewater treatment capacity, the modifications and improvements would include converting a portion of the existing 25,000 gpd package wastewater treatment facility to serve as an _i influent flow equalization facility. The flow equalization basin would receive influent wastewater in a tank, and hold this prior to subsequently transferring the accumulated wastewater into'the proposed new aeration basins and subsequent J treatment processes. The flow equalization basin would utilize the existing blowers and air header/diffuser system'to maintain a state of aeration.while ' influent flows accumulate. Wastewater would be pumped from the equalization basin to the proposed aeration basins by means of a proposeddual submersible pump system which would use small (typically Y2 HP pumps) to deliver an approximately uniform rate of flow to the proposed aeration basins. The existing sludge holding tank and rectangular clarifier, which are integral components of the original 25,000 gpd package wastewater treatment. plant, would be used for sludge digestion in the improved and expanded wastewater treatment facilities. A portion of the existing aeration basin would also be converted to 1 provide the total. needed volume for sludge digestion. It should be noted that the existing sludge holding capacity is very limited by today's standards (only 2,562 gallons) and is largely ineffective in its current state. This is a significant deficiency that is limiting proper sludge management. The proposed modifications and improvements include provisions for providing increased sludge digestion capacity. The details of the proposed design for a possible expansion of the current wastewater treatment and discharge capacity are described in Appendix K. J Currently, wastewater coming into the existing aeration basin passes through a bar screen intended to prevent large solids from entering the treatment process. The original wastewater treatment facility also had a comminutor which was intended to cut or grind large solids into smaller sizes. Bar screens and/or comminutor type devices are an essential component of any such wastewater treatment design. However, the nature of the wastewater coming into the facilities is such that it commonly has an unusually high amount of rather large towels associated with cleaning activities within the nursing home. Although efforts are underway to limit or minimize the disposal of these towels into the system, past experience makes it prudent to include provisions to reduce the amounts of these and other similar large objects from entering the treatment processes and causing problems- such as clogging of pumps, aeration diffusers, etc. Therefore the proposed improvements and modifications will include replacing the existing bar screen with a new installation having an influent screening and J 10 grinding system. This system will have both a new grinder (e.g. "Muffin Monster") and a bar screen installed in parallel such that influent wastewater may be diverted to either the grinder or the bar screen as needed or determined by the operator. The nature. of the nursing home operations is such that relatively high amounts of chlorine disinfectants are used in cleaning and laundry operations. Although there has not been any record of documented incidences of high influent chlorine concentrations, this does not preclude the possibility that a real potential for -'� problems associated with this may exist. Hence, in order to. allow for the flexibility of dealing with any batches or infrequent occurrences of high chlorine strengths in the influent, a proposed chemical feed system .will be included to allow the flexibility of adding a liquid dechlorine agent into the flow equalization basin if and _I when conditions warrant. This is not intended to be a continuous feed operation _ but, more as an optional system to employ if the operator has reason.to believe that high levels of chlorine may be entering the plant that could impede the subsequent biological processes. This feed system will be relatively simple and _ will consist of a small chemical metering pump that will feed liquid dechlorinating compounds from a plastic 55 gallon drum. _ There will be installed a flow divider box at the head of the proposed dual aeration basins for the purpose of equally. dividing the flow received from the flow -= equalization basin. This flow divider box will also have an adjustable overflow gate that can be adjusted up or down to allow a portion of the received flow to be returned to the flow equalization basin. This allows the operator the ability to fine tune the rate of flow actually delivered into the aeration basins. Expanding the hydraulic capacity of the existing plant would require that facilities be upgraded to meet state requirements for reliability. Therefore, this evaluation of possible expansion will include providing dual aeration basins, dual clarifiers, etc., which would not be necessary if an expansion in capacity was not proposed. If the capacity of the existing plant is expanded, the effluents from the proposed dual clarifiers would be combined into a single effluent chlorine contact chamber (with dual, multiple tube tablet chlorinators) followed by a single effluent dechlorination chamber (with dual, multiple tube tablet dechlorinators.) Effluent flow measurement would be provided by installing a V-notch weir and, recording flow meter prior to discharge into the existing effluent pump station which conveys the final treated effluent into the existing discharge point into the Pigeon River. The existing facilities have no standby or auxiliary power source. Whereas the proposed modifications and improvements would include an expansion of hydraulic capacity and since the discharge is into Class WS-III, Trout waters, if the conclusion is to expand the current treatment capacity, the project would include providing a standby generator with automatic switching system. _J An estimate of the costs for the continuation of this alternative and the proposed modifications and expansion of capacity is included in Appendix A for comparison, 4.04: Combination of Alternatives Alternatives to discharge that may be technologically feasible, such as connection to the nearest public sewer, subsurface disposal and/or surface irrigation, could not be employed in conjunction with the current method of disposal (surface water discharge) and yield any reduction in capital expenditures. The evaluation of alternatives shows that these alternatives are clearly not viable due to the overwhelming magnitude of associated cost. Combining one of these alternatives while continuing the existing discharge, yields modest reduction in the cost for non -discharge alternatives alone but merely increases the overall costs. There would be no overall reduction in capital costs and the operating costs for combining surface discharge with either of the other alternatives would be greater than for any single alternative that might be selected. In short, whereas the conclusion that continued surface discharge is the only viable option due to the overwhelming differential in capital and operating- costs, any addition of an additional alternative would merely make the cost differential worse. This is demonstrated in the cost analysis of the alternatives where Alternative 4. is an analysis of what the cost would be incurred if a combination of relying on the continued discharge at 25,000 GPD were combined with the next lowest cost - alternative of subsurface disposal for the remaining 25,000 GPD of the total possible expansion design flow (50,000 GPD.) As evidenced by the economic'analysis, the results reaffirm that this is not an economically practical alternative. Section 5: Summary.and Conclusions: JAs can be seen from a comparison of the net present value of the various alternatives, there is a wide difference between the cost estimate of the option of continuing discharge and options to increase wastewater treatment capacity while eliminating the existing discharge. r With respect to considering the possibility of expanding the existing wastewater treatment capacity, compared to the cost of the next most cost effective and reliable ,alternative (Combined wastewater discharge and subsurface disposal) the estimated Net Present Value is approximately 245 % greater. This represents a . difference of $1,111,643. 12 In light of the financial impracticality, it is not necessary to further pursue whether connection is politically acceptable to the POTW, or whether land based disposal options are workable. By far, the. most practical and cost effective alternative for possibly expanding the current wastewater treatment capacity is modifications and improvements of the existing facilities and the continued discharge to surface waters. However, as discussed in the Introduction, after evaluating the costs of the various alternatives for expanding wastewater treatment capacity, and upon recognizing that there are no viable options for expanding the Silver Bluff Village nursing facilities, it has been concluded that expansion of treatment capacity will not be pursued. I The conclusion of this evaluation process is that Silver Bluff .will not pursue . _.� expansion but will focus on making improvements and modifications to the existing facilities at their current 25,000 permitted treatment capacity. These improvements and modifications are intended for the purpose of alleviating existing deficiencies and increasing the capabilities for improved treatment performance. Section 6: Proposed Wastewater Treatment Facilities As discussed in the Introduction of this report, the first phase of this evaluation �I was an assessment of -possible alternatives for improving and expanding the current wastewater treatment capacity. This was done as a part of assessing the overall potential for growth and future development of Silver Bluff. After reviewing the alternatives for expansion of treatment capacity, as detailed within this report, - ! and after evaluating the true potential for expansion and growth of the Silver Bluff nursing facilities, it has been concluded that Silver Bluff will not be seeking to expand their existing wastewater treatment capacity. Based on the findings of this evaluation, it has been concluded that the most economical and practical alternative is to continue discharge to surface waters at current permitted treatment capacity. (25,000 gpd.) Recognizing this conclusion, a proposed plan for modifying and improving the existing wastewater treatment facilities has been developed. This will involve the following: J 1. Installing a used/refurbished package wastewater treatment plant that will be used to provide influent flow equalization (Total EQ volume = 6,727 gallons) and increased sludge holding/digestion (Total sludge digestion = 6,247 gallons.) 2. Removal of portions of a wall now dividing the existing aeration basin from the existing sludge holding tank. This will effectively increase the size of the aeration basin from the current 25,000 gallons to 27,562 gallons, thus giving some additional buffer and detention capacity. Ti 13 3. Installing a new influent bar screen and solids grinding facilities ("Muffin Monster") 4. Installing a new influent chemical feed system to allow for the flexibility to neutralize any incoming high chlorine strength wastes. More specific details of the proposed design for improvements and modifications to the existing wastewater.treatment facility, with no expansion beyond the current 25,000 gpd capacity, and the estimated costs are included in Appendix L.

Land Based Disposal: 3A. Subsurface Disposal at 50,000 GPD Flow Rate: -' Based on the soil survey information, discussion with the local health department and the engineers field observations, the soils in this area appear to be severely limited as a medium for subsurface disposal. In the event that it was found to be apparently a cost �l effective alternative, an in depth site specific soil investigation would need to be done to 7 confirm that the soils could in fact be used. However, for the purpose of comparing the potential alternatives within the scope of this evaluation, it will be assumed that a typical low design loading rate would be workable. Therefore, it will be assumed that a loading rate of 0.30 gpd/sq. ft. is acceptable. Therefore, based on the design flow, the area required for subsurface disposal is: 50,000 gpd / 0.30 gpd/sq. ft. = 166,667 SF Whereas it is required to maintain an equal size area as.a reserve for future repair, the total required area is 333,334 SF. Assuming a roughly rectangular field (400 ft x 833 ft. for the initial drain field plus repair and in order to maintain the required buffers to property lines, etc.), the minimum estimated land required is 470,000 SF or 10.7 acres. The properties already owned by Silver Bluff Village have .numerous existing buildings and there are plans for future growth in existing vacant areas. There is also an existing well on site, and a proposed new well -to be installed. As a consequence of this, there are no areas available for consideration that are currently owned by Silver Bluff Village. Hence, any consideration for subsurface disposal must be based on the possibility of acquiring areas of sufficient size off site.

Surface Irrigation at 50,000 GPD Flow Rate: -r Surface irrigation preliminary design is based on an assumed allowable application rate of 0.75 " per week and a required storage basin for 60 days design flow. Based on the design flow of 50,000 gpd, this results in an estimated disposal area of 17.2 acres. - Allowing a recommended 50% repair area, the required total area is 25.8 acres. Assuming a roughly rectangular field (1,000 ft x 1,124 ft. for the initial spray field plus repair and in order to maintain the required 150 foot buffer to property lines), the minimum estimated land required is approximately 42.5 acres. _ Surface irrigation requires prior treatment to reduce raw wastewater constituents to levels acceptable for surface application. Therefore, the costs estimated in Alternative 1. for _ improving and expanding the existing wastewater treatment facilities are included in the estimate of the costs for surface application.

Combination of Alternatives at 50,000 GPD Flow Rate: Combining making improvements and modifications to existing WWTP to allow continued . discharge at 25,000 gpd and using subsurface disposal (the next most cost effective alternative) for the remaining increase of 25,000 gpd. 4A. Surface Water Discharge at 25,000 GPD Flow Rate: (Using a refurbished used package WWTP) Note: Regardless of whether the design flow is 25,000 gpd or 50,000 gpd, the cost estimate for upgrading and improving the existing package wastewater treatment facility is practically the same. The most economical plan is to take advantage of the availability of the used, refurbished dual train, 50,000 gpd package WWTP. This is less costly than a new, 25,000 gpd WWTP. Regardless of what design flow would be used, significant modifications to the existing wastewater treatment facilities are needed. At the, bare minimum this would include providing influent flow equalization and increased sludge digestion capacity. This can be accomplished by either modifying the existing package WWTP for these purposes or providing new, flow equalization and sludge digestion facilities. The net effect is the same and the costs would be virtually the same. In short, regardless of what the design flow is (25,000 gpd or 50,000 gpd) either new flow equalization facilities and new sludge digestion facilities will have to be provided or a new package WWTP must be provided. The costs of new sludge digestion facilities or the cost of a new package WWTP are basically the same and, again, this would exceed the cost of the available, used, refurbished 50,000 gpd package WWTP. In addition to being less costly, the 50,000 gpd package WWTP also will provide the much desired benefits of dual train reliability. Specifically, a new 25,000 gpd package WWTP is more expensive than using the available used/refurbished 50,000 gpd package WWTP and would. not provide the benefits and increased reliability of the larger, dual train facility. The following cost estimate for the 50,000 gpd WWTP has been adjusted to take in to account some very minor differences in costs that might be realized if the design flow was kept at 25,000 gpd.

The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect these uses. Not limited indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be expected. Somewhat limited indicates that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and moderate maintenance can be expected. Very limited indicates that the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can be expected. Numerical ratings in the table indicate the severity of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the use (1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00). Septic tank absorption fields are areas in which effluent from a septic tank is distributed into the soil through subsurface tiles or perforated pipe. Only that part of the soil between depths of 24 and 72 inches or between a depth of 24 inches and a restrictive layer is evaluated. The ratings are based on the soil properties that affect absorption of the effluent, construction and maintenance of the system, and public health. Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), depth to a water table, ponding, depth to bedrock -or a cemented pan, and flooding affect absorption of the effluent. Stones and boulders, ice, and bedrock or a cemented pan interfere with installation. Subsidence interferes with installation and maintenance. Excessive slope may cause lateral seepage and surfacing of the effluent in downslope areas. —� Some soils are underlain by loose sand and gravel or fractured bedrock at a depth of less than 4 feet below the distribution lines. In these soils the absorption field may not adequately filter the effluent, particularly when the system is new. As a result, the ground water may become contaminated. Sewage lagoons are shallow ponds constructed to hold sewage while aerobic bacteria decompose the solid and liquid wastes. Lagoons should have a nearly level floor surrounded by cut slopes or embankments of compacted soil. Nearly impervious soil material for the lagoon floor and sides is required to minimize seepage and contamination of ground water. Considered in the ratings are slope, saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), depth to a water table, ponding, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, flooding, large stones, and content of organic matter. Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is a critical property affecting the suitability for sewage lagoons. Most porous .soils eventually become sealed when they are used as sites for sewage -lagoons. Until sealing occurs, however, the hazard of pollution is severe. Soils that have a Ksat rate of more than 14 micrometers per second are too porous for the proper functioning of sewage lagoons. In these soils, seepage of the effluent can result in contamination of the ground water. Ground- water contamination is also a hazard if fractured bedrock is within a depth of 40 inches, if the water table is high enough to raise the level of sewage in the lagoon, or if floodwater overtops the lagoon. USDA Natural Resources Web Soil Survey 2.1 12/7/2008 aimConservation Service National Cooperative Soil Survey Page 1 of 4 Sewage Disposal —Haywood County Area, North Carolina Silver Bluff 3 A high content of organic matter is detrimental to proper functioning of the lagoon because it inhibits aerobic activity. Slope, bedrock, and cemented pans can cause construction problems, and large stones can hinder compaction of the lagoon floor. If the lagoon is to be uniformly deep throughout, the slope must be gentle enough --- and the soil material must be thick enough over bedrock or a cemented pan to make land smoothing practical. Information in this table is intended for land use planning, for evaluating land use alternatives, and for planning site investigations prior to design and construction. The information, however, has limitations. For example, estimates and other data generally apply only to that part of the soil between the surface and a depth of 5 to 7 feet. Because of the map scale, small areas of different soils may be included within the mapped areas of a specific soil. The information is not site specific and does not eliminate the need for onsite investigation of the soils or for testing and analysis by personnel experienced in the design and construction of engineering works. Government ordinances and regulations that restrict certain land uses or impose specific design criteria were not considered in preparing the information in this table. Local ordinances and regulations should be considered in planning, in site selection, and in design. _- Report —Sewage Disposal [The information in this table indicates the dominant soil condition but does not eliminate the need for onsite investigation.

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each layer is indicated. Texture is given in the standard terms used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These terms are defined according to percentages of sand, silt, and clay in the fraction of the soil that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter. "Loam," for example, is soil that is 7 to 27 percent clay, 28 to 50 percent silt, and less than 52 percent sand. If the content of particles coarser than sand is 15 percent or more, an appropriate modifier is added, for example, "gravelly." Classification of the soils is determined according to the Unified soil classification system (ASTM, 2005) and the system adopted by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO, 2004). The Unified system classifies soils according to properties that affect their use as n construction material. Soils are classified according to particle -size distribution of the fraction less than 3 inches in diameter and according to plasticity index, liquid _ limit, and organic matter content. Sandy and gravelly soils are identified as GW, GP, GM, GC, SW, SP, SM, and SC; silty and clayey soils as ML, CL, OL, MH, CH, and OH; and highly organic soils as PT. Soils exhibiting engineering properties of two groups can have a dual classification, for example, CL-ML. The AASHTO system classifies soils according to those properties that affect roadway construction and maintenance. In this system, the fraction of a mineral soil that is less than 3 inches in diameter is classified in one of seven groups from A-1 through A-7 on the basis of particle -size distribution, liquid limit, and plasticity index. Soils in group A-1 are coarse grained and.low in content of fines (silt and clay). At the other extreme, soils in group A-7 are fine grained. Highly organic soils are classified in group A-8 on the basis of visual inspection. _ If laboratory data are available, the A-1, A-2, and A-7 groups are further classified as A-1-a, A-1-b, A-2-4, A-2-5, A-2-6, A-2-7, A-7-5, or A-7-6. As an additional refinement, the suitability of a soil as subgrade material can be indicated by a group index number. Group index numbers range from 0 for the best subgrade material to 20 or higher for the poorest. Rock fragments larger than 10 inches in diameter and 3 to 10 inches in diameter are indicated as a percentage of the total soil on a dry -weight basis. The percentages are estimates determined mainly by converting volume percentage in the field to weight percentage. Percentage (of soil particles) passing designated sieves is the percentage of the soil fraction less than 3 inches in diameter based on an ovendry weight. The sieves, numbers 4, 10, 40, and 200 (USA Standard Series), have openings of 4.76, 2.00, 0.420, and 0.074 millimeters, respectively. Estimates are based on laboratory tests of soils sampled in the survey area and in nearby areas and on estimates made in the field. Liquid limit and plasticity index (Atterberg limits) indicate the plasticity characteristics of a soil. The estimates are based on test data from the survey area or from nearby areas and on field examination.

The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect these uses. Not limited indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be expected. Somewhat limited indicates that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and moderate maintenance can be expected. Very limited indicates that the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can be expected. Numerical ratings in the table indicate the severity of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the use (1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00). Irrigation systems are used to provide supplemental water to crops, orchards, vineyards, and vegetables in area where natural precipitation will not support desired production of crops being grown. Irrigation, surface (graded) evaluates a soil for graded flood or furrow irrigation systems. The ratings are for soils in their natural condition and do not consider present land use. . Graded surface irrigation systems include graded border and graded furrow irrigation systems. Graded border irrigation systems allow irrigation water to flow across the soil surface while being confined by borders. Graded furrow irrigation systems are systems that allow irrigation water to flow down furrow valleys while the crop being irrigated is planted on the furrow ridge. Generally, graded border �j systems are suitable for small grains while graded furrow systems are suitable for row crops. The soil properties and qualities important in the design and management of graded �{ surface irrigation systems are depth, available water holding capacity, sodium adsorption ratio, surface rocks, permeability, salinity, slope, wetness, and flooding. Features that affect system performance and plant growth are salinity, sodium -} adsorption ratio, wetness, calcium carbonate content, and available water holding capacity. . Irrigation, surface (level) evaluates a soil for basin, paddy, level furrow, or level border irrigation systems. The ratings are for soils in their natural condition and do not consider present land use. Level surface irrigation systems are irrigation systems that use flood irrigation techniques to spread irrigation water at a specified depth across the application area. Basin, paddy, and borders generally use external ridges or borders to confine the irrigation application while level furrow systems use furrow valleys and end blocks or border ridges to confine the irrigation application during irrigation. With furrow irrigation the crop is usually planted on the furrow ridge. Generally, basin, paddy and level border irrigation systems are suitable for rice, small grain, pasture, and forage production. Level furrow systems are generally suited for row crops.

Thurman Horne, P.E. Horizon Engineering & Consulting, Inc. January 12, 2009 Residuals Management Plan: The proposed expansion, improvements and modifications of existing facilities do not substantially alter the mode of operations for existing WWTP. The basic treatment processes remain the same, with the addition of influent flow equalization. Therefore, there is no expected increase in the volumes of sludge to be generated and it is expected that actual volumes and frequency of pumping and removal shall decline 1; dramatically after the new facilities are completed and the facilities have added capacity for sludge holding and digestion. The proposed construction will include increasing the current sludge digestion capacity. The new sludge digestor is sized to retain over 30 days of calculated sludge generation at maximum design flow. The amounts of sludge generated may vary dependent upon factors including the strength of wastewater, variations in treatment efficiency, temperature, etc. The role of the digestor is to serve as an outlet where the operator may periodically waste excess volumes of sludge that are not needed as return to the aeration basin. The operator will waste sludge to the digestor as part of maintaining mixed liquor within preferred ranges and based on physical observations plus performance testing. The digestor functions to reduce the physical volume of the sludge through the aerobic digestion process. j Periodically, the accumulated volumes of sludge in the digestor will need to be removed and disposed off site. This is already practiced at the existing WWTP, which is to be expanded. The current method of disposal is by private contractor and is disposed by the contractor at a local municipal wastewater treatment facility. 41 Appendix J Summary of Effluent Flow Rate Monitoring 42 Silver Bluff Village Effluent Flow Monitoring Summary �l From:8/02/08 To: 8/27/08: Date: Total 24 hour Flow Avg.
