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. For the purposes of these documents, the terms Owner and utility

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

MINI MONSTER
MODEL 20002 IN -CHANNEL
Number of Units: ONE
A Mini Monster is a two -shafted sewage grinder capable of continuous operation, processing
-; wet or dry. 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. More information can be found on
the first page of this submittal and on the Motor Submittal Data sheet included elsewhere herein.

Key Features-
• Manual Control by on-line adjustable stroke rate and
stroke length.
• Agency approved for demanding OUTDOOR and indoor
applications.
• Highly Reliable timing circuit.
• Water Resistant excellent for OUTDOOR and indoor
applications.
• Internally Dampened To. Reduce Noise, very
acceptable for household installations.
• Guided Ball Check Valve Systems, to reduce back flow
and enhance outstanding priming characteristics.
• Premium Standard Wetted Component Materials.
Few Moving Parts and Wall Mountable.
• Safe & Easy Priming with durable leak -free bleed valve
assembly (standard).
Complete Economical Selection .
Nineteen distinct models are available, having pressure
capabilities to.300 PSIG @ 3 GPD, and flow capacities to
504 GPD @ 20PSIG, with a turndown ratio of 100:1.
Metering performance is reproducible to within ± 3% of
maximum capacity.
Please refer to the reverse side for Series E specifications.
Operating Benefits
Reliable metering performance. Our guided check valves;
With their state-of-the-art seat and ball designs, provide
precise seating, and excellent priming and suction lift
characteristics. Our timing circuit is highly reliable and, by
design, virtually unaffected by temperature, EMI and other
electrical disturbances.
Rated "hot" for continuous duty. Series E pumps continue
to meet their specifications for pressure and capacity even
during extended use. That's because of our high quality
solenoid and special enclosure that effectively dissipates
heat.
High viscosity capability. A straight flow path and ample
clearance between the diaphragm and head enable standard
PULSAtron pumps to handle viscous chemicals up to a
viscosity of 3000 CPS. For higher vicosity applications,
larger, spring -loaded connections are available.
Leak -free, sealless, liquid end. Our diaphragms are
of superior construction—teflon-faced, bonded to a composite
of Hypalon and fabric layers, and reinforced with a metal
insert for optimum flexibility and durability.
For additional information about PULSAtron's full -featured Series MP & Series E PLUS,
referto Technical Sheet No. EMP-027 & EMP-021, about the mid -range Series D & Series A
PLUS refer to Technical Sheet No. EMP-023 &'EMP-025. For information about the
economical Series C PLUS & Series C, refer to Technical Sheet No. EMP-026 & ENtP-024.

-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

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. CLARIFIER INSTALLATION
Clarifier installation should be according to manufacturer's instructions. Elevations should be in
accordance with plans to insure adequate flow through the clarifier and proper operation. The route
of the piping should be parallel to, and in shortest practical route to the clarifier.

structure. The shaft shall extend to the bottom of the clarifier at which point it shall be pivoted in
such a manner as not to introduce binding.
The drive mechanism shall be designed to provide a torque capable of 'overcoming running
friction and loads induced by scraping sludge to the collection sump at a speed to prevent sludge
agitation. The drive mechanism shall consist of a primary gear reduction unit with sprocket
mounted on the slow speed shaft and the final reduction consisting of a larger sprocket mounted
on the scraper mechanism shaft extension. Primary and the final reduction units shall be coupled
by means of a roller chain. Mounting of the primary unit shall be designed to allow adjustment of
chain slack without removing chain links.
The primary and final reduction units shall be mounted at the factory and shall be delivered to
the job site as a unit assembled in place.
The final reduction unit shall be equipped with an overload protection device consisting of a
shear pin and shear pin hub, assembled in such manner that it will disengage the final reduction
unit from the clarifier shaft once shear pin rated torque is reached. The shear pin torque rating
shall not exceed design torque of the collector mechanism structural components nor shall such
torque when reflected through the reduction sprockets to the slow speed shaft of the primary unit
exceed its rating.
The clarifier shall be provided with two rotating scraper arms. The rotating scraper arms shall be
attached to and supported by a center shaft designed to support and rotate the scraper arms under
maximum load conditions with an adequate factor of safety. The scraper arms shall be fabricated
from structural steel members to provide support for scraper blades. Blades shall be provided on
r the rotating arms to move settled sludge to the center collection point. The blades shall be spaced
on each arm such that settled sludge is collected over the full area of the basin by each arm. The

center sump and removed from the sump by means of a sludge drawoff pipe.
A clarifier effluent launderer shall be provided around the inside periphery of the clarifier to
collect -the clear supernatant. The launderer shall be designed to carry the expected peak flow
without becoming submerged. The clarifier effluent weir, weir trough and scum baffle shall be a
minimum of 1/4" steel plate. When completed the weir trough shall require no caulking or
sealant to prevent leakage. The weir plates shall be adjustable.
The scum removal system shall consist of a scum box and skimmer arm. The scum box shall be
designed to collect the floating material on the surface of the clarifier liquid. The box shall be
structurally supported off the clarifier wall and shall be vertically adjustable without draining the
clarifier tank. Removal of the scum from the box shall be by a scum drawoff pipe.
The skimmer arm shall be designed to skim the entire surface of the clarifier twice during each
rotation of the scraper mechanism and sweep the scum into the scum box. The arm shall be
supported off the stilling well.
The stilling well shall be designed to provide an area of velocity dissipation for the liquid
entering the clarifier and to prevent short circuiting from the center to the weir. The stilling well
shall be fixed to the rotating center shaft.
The access bridge shall be made of structural steel shapes and shall be supported on the plant
walls. The bridge shall extend across the clarifier as shown on the drawings. Access to the bridge
shall be provided as shown on the drawings. The bridge shall have a deck made of 1" x 3/16"

Section 1: General
1.01 Introduction:
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
�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. A
schematic flow diagram showing the proposed configuration of this selected
alternative.is included in Appendix H.

3. 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.

313. 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.

4. 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.

$ 419,200
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
effective alternative, an in depth site specific soil investigation would need to be done to
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:
25,000 gpd / 0.30 gpd/sq. ft. = 83,333 SF
Whereas it is -required to maintain an equal size area as a reserve for future repair, the
total required area is 166,667 SF. Assuming a roughly rectangular field (410 ft x 410 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 260,100 SF or 6 acres.
k 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
I
2s
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.

Sewage Disposal —Haywood County Area, North Carolina
Silver Bluff 3
Sewage Disposal
This table shows the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect septic tank
absorption fields and sewage lagoons. 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.

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. The numbers in the value columns range
from 0.01 to 1.00. The larger the value, the greater the potential limitation. The table
shows only the top five limitations for any given soil. The soil may have additional
limitations]

Engineering Properties
This table gives -the engineering classifications and the range of engineering
properties for the layers of each soil in the surrey area.
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.

Irrigation - Surface
This table shows the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect -irrigation systems
on mineral soils. 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.

The soil properties and qualities important in the design and management of level
surface irrigation systems are depth, available water holding capacity, sodium
adsorption ratio, permeability, salinity, slope, and flooding. The soil properties and
qualities that influence installation are depth, flooding, and ponding. The features
that affect performance of the system and plant growth are salinity, sodium
adsorption ratio, and available water holding capacity.
- 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. The irrigation interpretations are not designed or intended
to be used in a regulatory manner.
Report —Irrigation - Surface
[The information in this table provides irrigation interpretations for mineral soils. It
indicates the dominant soil condition but does not eliminate the need for onsite
investigation. The numbers in the value columns range from 0.01 to 1.00. The larger
the value, the greater the potential limitation. The table shows only the top five
limitations for any given soil. The soil may have additional limitations]

Residuals Management Plan
Prepared by: J. 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.

Note: The existing, original 25,000 GPD package WWTP has a
dual hopper bottom clarifier that is barely acceptable with respect to
minimum required volume. There is a second existing clarifier
(circular) that was added subsequently. This clarifier has approx. 15,000
gallons of volume. This is more than adequate volume. This circular
clarifier can be reused in the new design to provide. additional clarifier
volume, along with the existing dual hopper bottom clarifiers. The operator
has reported that there is no bottom scraper assembly in the existing
circular clarifier. This will need to be provided and installed for the clarifier
to function properly.

tablet dechlorinators.
