1 ROY COOPER Governor MICHAEL S. REGAN Secretary S. JAY ZIMMERMAN Director October 24, 2017 Martin B. Foil, III via Email Hinds' Feet Farm Post Office Box 2842 Huntersville, North Carolina 28078 Subject: Non -Discharge Permit Inspection Wastewater Surface Irrigation. System Permit #W00018635 Facility: 14625 Black Farms Rd. SFR Mecklenburg County Dear Mr. Foil: Staff of the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) conducted a compliance inspection on October 18th, 2017. The MRO would like to thank you for your time during the site visit. Per our previous phone and email communication, the facility connected to Mecklenburg County Sanitary Sewer in November of 2016. 1 received your proposed lagoon closure plan by email on October 18th; 2017, after the site inspection. The treatment system is partially dismantled, with plans to pump and back -fill the tank. The pond soil liner is to be sampled once remaining liquid has evaporated; and, upon receipt of an acceptable soils report, filled and regraded. The. spray field was never constructed. Please note the following comments to maintain overall program compliance: • The existing permit is due to expire on August 31st, 2020. You will need to maintain the permit and annual fees until the lagoon is properly closed. Should unforeseen circumstances delay the closure plan, it is recommended you request a permit extension at least months prior to expiration, from the Central Office Non -Discharge Unit supervisor. You may email your request for rescission or extension to: Nathaniel. Thorn burg CD_ncdenr.aov. • The berm of the lagoon is overgrown with woody vegetation, should your closure plan be delayed, the berm will need to be. maintained in accordance with permit conditions. • Contact me prior to your lagoon liner, soils sampling event, so I may coordinate schedules to view sample collection. The inspection report should be self-explanatory; however, I may be reached by phone (704-235-2184) or email (maria.schutteQ_ncdenr.gov) with questions.

Foil III RE: Surface Irrigation Inspection Report Permit No. WQ0018635 Facility: Hinds' Feet Farm Mecklenburg County, N.C. Dear Mr. Foil, Enclosed you will find the report for the compliance inspection that was conducted on August 5tn 2014. The treatment system appeared to be operating satisfactorily, and records were well maintained; however, berm maintenance around the lagoon is in order for removal of saplings. Additional issues discussed during the site visit are noted below: • The current permit expiration date is August 315t 2015, which means an application for renewal is due 180 days prior, about February 28t", 2014. In response to your inquiry about the proposed sewer extension, permitting staff in Raleigh recommend you submit a written request for permit extension when your renewal application is due. • Per your request, I have included a copy of the lagoon closure guidance document. • Your current permit does not specify a type of chlorine tablet; however, language in renewing non -discharge permits does; therefore, it is recommended that you use the specified tablets mentioned during the inspection by Barbara Sifford and noted below: o [FOR SYSTEMS USING CHLORINE DISINFECTION]The tablet chlorinator shall be checked weekly. Wastewater grade chlorine tablets (calcium hypochlorite) shall be added as needed to provide proper chlorination. Pool chlorine tablets shall not be used. Should you have any questions about the report or the permit renewal/extension, feel free to contact me by email or phone at 704-663-1699.

You were right in that they will need to send in a modification to change this permit type from a Single Family Resident to a Spray Irrigation'System. Since permit was issued under 2H, we will try to grandfather it, but here's the problem — they will still have to verify that they can stay under 900 gal/day. When we originally permitted the SFR, they were evaluated by how many bedrooms they were proposing. Now that we are evaluating a care -type facility, the facility will be evaluated by how many beds they will have, whether they will have laundry facilities, etc. If they still meet the 900 gal/day, they will have little changes to their permit (e.g. ORC required, monitor effluent, etc.). If they don't meet the 900 gal/day, they'll have to meet 2T, which will include a soils report, etc. That's about the most I can help with. For further questions, I would suggest talking to Jon Risgaard, since his unit will get the modification, or Nathaniel Thornburg. Thanks Peggy!. Debra Debra J.

Provide any additional narrative regarding your review of the application: The treatment works for this system were installed in 2001. According to Mr. Foil, the bathroom in the one -bedroom guest house is the only generator of wastewater at this time. The owner intends to build a seven -bedroom home in the future. The lagoon is oversized (8 ft. deep) and, according to Mr.. Foil, may eliminate the need to ever install the spray component of the system. 2. Attach Well Construction Data Sheet - if needed information is available 3. Do you foresee any problems with issuance/renewal of this permit? ❑ Yes X No. If yes, please explain briefly. 4. List any items that you would like APS Central Office to obtain through an additional information request. Make sure that you provide a reason for each item: Item Reason Verify owner/permittee name. The applicant is now identified as a corporation named Hinds Feet Farm that Mr. Foil appears to have a major interest in. Updated site map To determine exact location of the water supply well in relation to the treatment/disposal area and the compliance boundary. 5. List specific Permit conditions that you recommend to be removed from the permit when issued. Make sure that you provide a reason for each condition: Condition Reason 6. List specific special conditions or compliance schedules that you recommend be included in the permit when issued. Make sure that you provide a reason for each special condition: Condition Reason A requirement to keep an inspection log.

To date, the main house has not been constructed. Only the bathroom in the guest house (which is currently used as a two person office) is supplying wastewater at this time. The Cromaglass treatment system appears to be operating properly. The chlorinator is undergoing repair because, due to low flow, the tablets have a tendency to jam in the cyclinders. When the lagoon was constructed, it was expanded from a depth of three feet to eight feet in anticipation of using some of the effluent for additional irrigation. That proved to be cost prohibitive. Hence there is excess storage capacity. Mr. Foil stated that there may never be a need for the spray component. The botton of the lagoon is reportedly lined with bentonite and on -site expansive clay. The top of the lagoon has a rather sparse grassy cover. There is hydric vegetation growing in the effluent. Mr. Foil stated that he plans to landscape the area. He was advised against placing woody vegetation on the top or sides. Page: 2 Permit: WQ0018635 Owner - Facility: Martin B Foil .

The manual should at a minimum include at what percentage the mixed liquer suspended solids (MLSS) should be pumped from the tank and an optimum range of dissolved oxygen concentrations. The manual should be more specific as to who the operator shall be. It refers to the operator several times as someone who is knowledgeable about the cromaglass system and know how to "jump start" the wastewater's organisms if they do not already exist. Has someone who is trained in operating the cromaglass system been secured as the operator in charge for the proposed system? 2) Page 2 of the manual refers to a CA-5 unit instead of the CA-12 unit as specified in the application and drawings. Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. Please note that failure to provide this additional information on or before the above requested date can result in your application being returned as incomplete. If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at (919) 733-5083, extension 546. Thank you for your cooperation.

A soil evaluation and a site visit have been conducted. The results of the evaluation indicated that the site is UNSUITABLE under Rules .1941 SOIL CHARACTERISTICS (MORPHOLOGY), .1943 SOIL DEPTH, and .1945 AVAILABLE SPACE. For these reasons your Application for Improvement Permit is denied. A possible way to develop the site exists under Rule .1948(d), which reads as follows: A site classified as UNSUITABLE may be used for a ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal system specifically identified in Rules .1955, .1956, or .1957 of this Section or a system approved under Rule .1969 if written documentation including engineering, hydrogeologic, geologic or soil studies, indicates to the local health department that the proposed system can be expected to function satisfactorily. Such sites shall be reclassified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE if the local health department determines that the substantiating data indicate that: (1) a ground absorption system can be installed so that the effluent will be non- pathogenic, non-infectious, non -toxic, and non -hazardous; (2) the effluent will not contaminate ground or surface water; and (3) the effluent will be exposed on the ground surface or be discharged to surface waters where it could come in contact with people, animals, or vectors. T'he State shall review the substantiating date if requested by the local health department. Please be advised that you have the right to an informal review by this department.

On Site Wastewater Treatment for Foil Property, Mecklenburg County, NC Design Engineer's Report Background The subject property is 36.7 Acres, more or less, adjacent to SR 2428 (Black Farms Road) on its west, and south of Ramah Creek in Mecklenburg County, NC (see Exhibit A: Site Location Map). The property is mostly wooded with large cleared pasture areas. Currently on the site is a horse barn, with a large fenced pasture for horse grazing. All pastures slope toward Ramah Creek at 7% to 10%. The Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey for Mecklenburg shows the pasture land to be almost entirely Enon B (see Appendix A: Soil Scientist's Report for more detail on the soils). The owner plans to build a 6-bedroom house for his family in the forest fringe, facing the pastures that slope toward the creek. He plans to also build a 1-bedroom guesthouse in the woods of the southeast comer of the property nearest Black Farms Road. The lot has been denied an improvement permit for the installation of a septic tank and drain field (letter enclosed with the application). The Owner plans to construct a secondary treatment facility with spray irrigation on the fenced horse pasture in order to use his property. Proposed Approach One hundred percent household wastewater will be treated to advanced secondary levels using an aerobic sequencing batch reactor process, with disinfection provided by `pill -type' chlorination equipment. Disinfected, treated effluent will be pumped to a 30-day holding pond from which the water will be pumped to spray irrigate the fenced horse pasture. See also Appendix B: Process Schematic. Under this proposed approach, the quality of treated effluent will be as shown in Table 1, below. Table 1: Design Treated Effluent Quality Parameter Concentration (MgP BOD5 20 TSS 20 NH3 15 Dissolved Oxygen 4 Fecal Coliform 30 Swartz Engineering Consultants, Inc 1 of 2 Description of the Treatment and Discharge Process (See also Appendix C: Design Calculations for details) Treatment: Wastewater will be treated in a Cromaglass model CA-12 sequencing batch reactor treatment unit. This process is a continuously fed activated sludge process, with clarification operated in a batch process. In this process, clarified effluent is pumped at timed regular intervals via an internal discharge pump to solid-state chlorinator. This treatment technology consistently produces effluent quality at advanced secondary levels, averaging 20 mg/1 BOD, 20 mg/1 TSS, and 15 mg/l NH3. The process produces anaerobic biosolids residual, with concentration levels controlled by pumped withdrawal of a portion of the mass before MLSS levels become too high for optimum biological processing of the domestic waste. This pumped withdrawal will occur approximately once per year on average. Pumped withdrawal will be by a licensed septage hauler, with the aerobic biosolids mass hauled to the nearest septage discharge point within the Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities system. Disinfection: Disinfection will be via solid-state chlorine disinfection unit. Chlorine dosage will be provided through solid chlorine sticks or tablets in one of the several internal "stacks" to minimize the discharge of high-level chlorine content water which would tend to "burn" vegetation in the application area. Spray Irrigation: Disinfected, treated effluent will sent to a 30-day holding pond, where it will be temporarily stored until it is pumped into the spray irrigation system. The holding pond will be constructed in the side of the sloping pasture, with soil excavated to create a dam and the excavation behind the dam providing sufficient volume to create 30 days storage (30 days x 900 gal/day / 7.48 gal / cu. ft. = 3,610 cubic feet). At an average depth of 4 feet, the pond surface area will be 902 square feet. A 1-foot high berm will be constructed on the uphill side of the pond so that no surface runoff can enter the pond. Sufficient freeboard will be provided to account for a heavy rainfall of 12 inches per week to fall directly on the pond' surface without causing the pond to overflow. The pond will be designed to never overflow. The spray irrigation -dosing pump will be installed to withdraw water daily, and pressurize a network of buried irrigation piping and spray nozzles of the type suitable for installation in a horse pasture.

The results of the evaluation indicated that the site is UNSUITABLE under Rules .1941 SOIL CHARACTERISTICS (MORPHOLOGY), .1943 SOIL DEPTH, and .1945 AVAILABLE SPACE. For these reasons your Application for Improvement Permit is denied. A possible way to develop the site exists under Rule .1948(d), which reads as follows: A site classified as UNSUITABLE may be used for a ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal system specifically identified in Rules .1955, .1956, or .1957 of this Section or a system approved under Rule .1969 if written documentation including engineering, hydrogeologic, geologic or soil studies, indicates to the local health department that the proposed system can be expected to function satisfactorily. Such sites shall be reclassified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE if the local health department determines that the substantiating data indicate that: (1) a ground absorption system can be installed so that the effluent will be non- pathogenic, non-infectious, non -toxic, and non -hazardous; (2) the effluent will not contaminate ground or surface water; and (3) the effluent will be exposed on the ground surface or be discharged to surface waters where it could come in contact with people, animals, or vectors. The State shall review the substantiating date if requested by the local health department. Please be advised that you have the right to an informal review by this department. You also have the right to appeal under G.S. 130A-24, and to have the appeal held in Mecklenburg County If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call me at 336-5575.

On Site Wastewater Treatment for Foil Property, Mecklenburg County, NC Design Engineer's Renort $ackwound The subject property is 36.7 Acres, more or less, adjacent to SR 2428 (Black Farms Road) on its west, and south of Ramah Creek in Mecklenburg County, NC (see Exhibit A: Site Location Map). The property is mostly wooded with large cleared pasture areas. Currently on the site is a horse barn, with a large fenced pasture for horse grazing. All pastures slope toward Ramah Creek at 7% to 10%. The Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey for Mecklenburg shows the pasture land to be almost entirely Enon B (see Appendix A: Soil Scientist's Report for more detail on the soils). The owner plans to build a 6-bedroom house for his family in the forest fringe, facing the pastures that slope toward the creek. He plans to also build a 1-bedroom guesthouse in the woods of the southeast comer of the property nearest Black Farms Road. The lot has been denied an improvement permit for the installation of a septic tank and drain field (letter enclosed with the application). The Owner plans to construct a secondary treatment facility with spray irrigation on the fenced horse pasture in order to use his property. Proposed Approach One hundred percent household wastewater will be treated to advanced secondary levels using an aerobic sequencing batch reactor process, with disinfection provided by `pill -type' chlorination equipment. Disinfected, treated effluent will be pumped to a 30-day holding pond from which the water will be pumped to spray irrigate the fenced horse pasture. See also Appendix B: Process Schematic. Under this proposed approach, the quality of treated effluent will be as shown in Table 1, below. Table 1: Design Treated Effluent Quality Parameter Concentration (mg/L) BODs 20 TSS 20 NH3 15 Dissolved Oxygen 4 Fecal Coliform 30 Swartz Engineering Consultants, Inc 1 of 2 Description of the Treatment and Discharge Process (See also Appendix C: Design Calculations for details) Treatment: Wastewater will be treated in a Cromaglass model CA-12 sequencing batch reactor treatment unit. This process is a continuously fed activated sludge process, with clarification operated in a batch process. In this process, clarified effluent is pumped at timed regular intervals via an internal discharge pump to solid-state chlorinator. This treatment technology consistently produces effluent quality at advanced secondary levels, averaging 20 mg/l BOD, 20 mg/1 TSS, and 15 mg/1 NH3. The -process produces an aerobic biosolids residual, with concentration levels controlled by pumped withdrawal of a portion of the mass before MLSS levels become too high for optimum biological processing of the domestic waste. This pumped withdrawal will occur approximately once per year on average. Pumped withdrawal will be by a licensed septage hauler, with the aerobic biosolids mass hauled to the nearest septage discharge point within the Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities system. Disinfection: Disinfection will be via solid-state chlorine disinfection unit. Chlorine dosage will be provided through solid chlorine sticks or tablets in one of the several internal "stacks" to minimize the discharge of high-level chlorine content water which would tend to "burn" vegetation in the application area. Spray Irrigation: Disinfected, treated effluent will sent to a 30-day holding pond, where it will be temporarily stored until it is pumped into the spray irrigation system. The holding pond will be constructed in the side of the sloping pasture, with soil excavated to create a dam and the excavation behind the dam providing sufficient volume to create 30 days storage (30 days x 900 gal/day / 7.48 gal / cu. ft. = 3,610 cubic feet). At an average depth of 4 feet, the pond surface area will be 902 square feet. A 1-foot high berm will be constructed on the uphill side of the pond so that no surface runoff can enter the pond. Sufficient freeboard will be provided to account for a heavy rainfall of 12 inches per week to fall directly on the pond surface without causing the pond to overflow. The pond will be designed to never overflow. The spray irrigation -dosing pump will be installed to withdraw water daily, and pressurize a network of buried irrigation piping and spray nozzles of the type suitable for installation in a horse pasture.

COST-EFFECTIVE SMALL COMMUNITY SYSTEMS Treatment of wastewater in small communities and schools located beyond a municipal system presents a challenge to consulting engineers. Cromaglass Systems offer a cost-effective alternative solution. Many of these professionals have turned to the Cromaglass Batch Treat Process, an alternative and innovative technology assessed favorably by Federal EPA to be used where conventional sewer- age systems are unavailable or not cost effective. This modular concept design has proven less costly and more environmentally sound than other sewer- age installations. Several schools as well as small community projects have specified Cromaglass. REDUCE® ®RAIN FIELD SIZE AND SURFACE DISCHARGE CAPABILITIES Because of the clear, odorless quality and high treat- ment standards of Cromaglass Systems, drain field size can be reduced substantially from that required for conventional systems. With optional disinfection added, these systems are permitted for surface dis- charge under conditions normally unsuitable for sub- surface disposal. All tanks in place ready for backfill. Note concrete pads and stain- less steel tie -down rods. Batch Processing is capable of high treatment even under a. wide range of flows as found in growing communities. Also with varying organic loadings of commercial, school and institutional use, excellent effluent standards are maintained. This feature is an integral part of the `system to cover temporary emer- gencies or upsets.

Tanks can be installed below ground close to buildings being served '— saving unneeded pipe and/or pump expense. BY-PASS NOT POSSIBLE Cromaglass Systems are designed to make by- pass and inte.rtank contamination impossible. When operated properly, no bio-mass can transfer from one section to another except through the programmed pumping system. All sludge collected in the settling chamber is automatically returned to the aeration section for further aeration and breakdown. This results -in low sludge accumulation. Most residual sludge that collects is made up of biological ash and insoluble particles. Sludge can also be wasted to a Sludge Processing Tank. MAXIMUM OPERATIONAL FLEXIBILITY PROVIDED BY PLC CONTROLS State -of -the -Art PLC controls will respond to the inputs from level sensors and probes in the tanks. The PLC automatically adjusts treatment parameters in response to changes sensed in the influent. It can store a permanent record of all operational functions, which provides information on each function of each cycle for whatever time reference desired. Such information can indicate if service or maintenence is needed, and the operator can then schedule it before a failure occurs. STRONG, LIGHTWEIGHT, and REUSABLE Corrosion -proof vessel construction of strong, lightweight fiberglass. Covers and locking hatches are also of fiber- glass. Tanks are constructed to withstand pressure involved when installed at acceptable depths below ground. Being light in weight means expensive cranes are not required, saving installation costs. Because Cromaglass Systems are completely integrated, compact and transportable, they can be reused, relocated and/or resold when changing circumstances warrant. Lightweight fiberglass mod- ules being off loaded and set in place in the excavation/ concrete pad. This is typically done by backhoe used to ex- cavate the site. 3- Cromaglass Systems can be installed in modules, meaning a lower initial investment. The system can start with one independent module designed to treat the initial loading. As development grows, additional modules can be added as needed. Modules can be added at the. initial site, or if more economical, a new treatment site can be used. Because a batch system requires less land area, it can be placed in multiple locations — saving addi- tional piping/pumping cost. Cromaglass Wastewater Treatment Systems are essentially Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBR) as opposed to conventional continuous flow activated sludge systems. Treatment is by timed sequences within a single vessel. Continuous flow systems require several vessels, using a larger land area and higher installation costs. Because time functions can easily be changed, an SBR provides custom treatment dependent on vary- ing hydraulic and biological loading up to the designed capacity of the system. PHASE 1 PHASE 2 PHASE 3 CR®MA WATCH Cromaglass has introduced one of the industry's first central station monitoring wastewater treatment systems. With the use of a unique combination of telecommu- nication computers, word processors, and dedicated people, the Plant Operator, Cromaglass, and the Servicing Distributor are all notified if a treatment unit should malfunction. The microprocessor is built into the Cromaglass System. This 24-hour monitor will relay over an "800" telephone line to the control center computer the reason for an alarm. An on -duty operator will then call to report a CromaWatch activity. This will assure prompt response to a malfunction.

CA-5, CA-12, CA-15 Contrpl P_an..9I Pump #1 (P1) provides aeration and mixing in both the aeration chamber and clarifier. P1 is controlled by the bottom microswitch on the twenty-four (24) hour timer. P1 is energized when the timer dial tabs depress the micro switch closing the normally open contacts. Pump 42 (P2) is the discharge pump. P2 is controlled by the top microswitch on the twenty-four (24) hour timer. When the microswitch arm is released by the timer dial tabs, the normally closed contacts of the microswitch close and electric current flows to the low water mercury float switch in the aeration chamber. If this float switch is satisfied ( closed) the electric current continues on to the discharge pump. P2 will run until the liquid level in the clarifier drops and the P2 float breaks. P2 will not operate when the liquid level in the aeration chamber is below the low water float level. The purpose for this is to maintain a minimum mixed liquor level in the system. The settling period is sixty (60) minutes long and is the time between the shut off of the aeration pump (.P1) and the start of the discharge pump (P2). The P2 microswitch arm trails the P1 microswitch arm by four (4) tabs which establishes the sixty minute settling period. The timer is set for six (6) aeration/settle/discharge cycles per day. This is done by programming six (6) indentical sequences on the timer consisting of eleven (11) tabs outward and five (5) tabs inward. Each tab is equal to fifteen (15) minutes. Alarm The high water alarm circuit consists of a mercury float switch (AL) in the comminution chamber and an alarm light on the control panel. When the liquid level in the comminution chamber rises to the alarm float, the float switch closes and completes the circuit. The alarm light will remain on until the liquid level drops. 910628JNL A 4- FULL BAFFLE WITH RETURN SLUDGE WEIRS �— IB1t2 sEam GC d68C710N Do% MELT.) 2"AIR INTAKE c �� �T•e LOW WATER SENT OFF FLOAT 52 1j• 1 11/q d9O1AFKE —% sf CONTACT 11 L 1�1i SECTINE TION' / CLARFTEA l�� ON tl}p TT8 �i— 1 Id-211 I C .4] SECTION A -A �B A WATER ALARM FLOAT .4"DW ICET OPTIONAL 6T` 2 S" —0 00 —2i ID FULL BAFFLE WITH SCREENED BOT TON 1 1 i N 1l I " I I SECTION B B CROMAGLASS Co:,.we t,r N.

Specifications page 1 off 2.0 INSTALLATION 2.1 Sequencing Batch Reactor The Cromaglass CA-12 unit shall be installed where shown on the drawings below grade per manufacturer recommendations (unless otherwise modified herein) on a 12-inch thick, level bed of compacted crusher -run gravel. The CA-12 unit shall be filled one-half full of water before backfilling to prevent flotation. Backfill shall not contain any foreign matter nor any rocks or stones larger than 2-inches, and care will be taken to make sure no rocks of any size will strike or be placed against the fiberglass tank during backfilling. Compaction shall be by hand tamping in 6-inch lifts of loose backfill. Sand or pea gravel may be used in lieu of compacted backfill under the haunches of the tank at the option of the contractor if he cannot assure that adequate compaction of soil backfill will occur in this space. The last foot of backfill shall not be completed until the inlet and outlet piping is installed. Extreme care will be taken when completing the backfill around the inlet and outlet piping so as to assure that good, solid bedding of the pipes is achieved, and that the pipes are not forced out of alignment or disturbed in any fashion. The General Contractor shall coordinate the connection of the house drain piping to the Cromaglass unit. 2.3 Chlorination Equipment Chlorination equipment shall be installed on a 6-inch thick concrete slab where shown on the drawings per manufacturers instructions. 2.5 Spray Irrigation Pump, Nozzles and Controls Spray irrigation pumps, controls, piping and muzzles shall be installed as indicated on the drawings. 2.6 Yard Piping Yard piping shall be installed 18 inches below grade using a wheel -type excavator such as "Ditch Witch". Backfill of trench shall be made with clean soil from the site, free of any foreign matter and stones larger than 1/2". Compaction shall be by hand tamping. 2.7 Sewer Piping Sewer piping shall be laid true to the alignment and grade indicated on the drawings, with a minimum of 18 inches of cover. Trench shall be a 12 inches wide. Prior to laying pipe in the Specifications page 2 of,1 trench, the trench grade shall be checked with a surveyors level to assure accurate slope has been achieved. The trench bottom will be excavated by shovel to provide room for the bell of the pipe at joints. Pipe shall be laid in the trench so that the entire length of the pipe will be supported on unexcavated, firm soil devoid of rocks, roots or any foreign matter that would exert a point of pressure on the pipe barrel or not provide completely even support of the pipe. Backfill of trench shall be made with clean soil from the site, free of any foreign matter and stones larger than F. Compaction shall be by hand tamping, with care given provide firm, compacted backfill under the haunches of the pipe. At the contractor's option, clean sand may be used for backfill up to the midpoint of the pipe. 2.8 Valves and Fittings `Run -of -pipe' yard piping, valves and fitting shall be joined using the appropriate cleaner and solvent according to PVC pipe manufacturer recommendations. Specifications page 3 of 3 V Foil Property Wastewater Treatment Facility Operation and Maintenance Manual - RECEIVED WATER QUALITY SECTION [UUK: 1 .1 9 20f%;,3 Foil Property Wastewater 'Treatment Facility Operation and Maintenance Manual Cromaglass Model CA.-12 The Cromaglass Model CA-12 is a sequencing batch reactor activated sludge wastewater treatment unit. This means that naturally occurring biological organisms break down the organic waste from your residence wastewater using air and time. In the most basic terms, these organisms `eat' and thrive on the biologic waste matter in your wastewater. This is the same treatment process used by many municipal treatment plants across the country. The difference in your unit is that the process takes place in a controlled atmosphere in one tank. The process requires 1) a place (your tank), 2) air, 3) water, 4) food for the organisms (your waste), 5) the organisms and 6) time. 1. The tank supplies the `place' 2. `Air' is supplied by a venturi nozzle in the recirculation piping and the outside air sucked in by the venturi nozzle during the recirculation/aeration cycle 3. You supply the `water' from your drain fixtures 4. You supply the `food' for the organisms in your wastewater 5. The `organisms' exist in the wastewater, but may have to be "jump started" the first time. Your Operator will do this if necessary. 6. `Time' is created by a control panel with preset operating phases that cause the recirculation pump to operate for its appropriate time per cycle; the water to be quiescent (still) for an hour per cycle; and the effluent pump to discharge a preset amount of clarified, treated effluent to the filter per cycle. You supply the electricity for the pumps. Your system has 6 cycles per day. These cycles are controlled by the preset control panel that will be mounted in your mechanical room. You do nothing but provide the place for you control panel to be mounted. Everything else is preset at the factory. What do you do to operate the Cromaglass CA-12 in addition to providing wastewater, electricity and space for the control panel? Nothing, except provide access to your Operator for his maintenance check-ups. Some things you need to be aware of: 1. A hung up toilet valve will send too much water to the unit and cause it to overload. 2. There is a high water alarm light in the CA-12 control panel unit. This alarm light will shine, cause the alarm buzzer to sound, and send a message to the 24-hour alarm center if O&M Manual Page 1 of there is too much water in the unit. The alarm light and buzzer will remain on until the liquid level falls to normal levels. 3. If you do not hear from your Operator within 30-minutes of any alarm, you should call him to make sure he has received the notice and is on his way. 4. Your unit has an automatic dialer that calls an "800" number with an alarm and the cause of the alarm. The "800" number is manned 24-hours per day. This feature is called Cromawatch. If an alarm signal is received by Cromawatch, the operator will notify your Operator and Cromaglass of the signal and the indicated cause. Your Operator will be at your place within 6-hours of this notice, and will call you to let you know he is on the way. 5. You may hear a slight "gurgling" sound when in the vicinity of the CA-5 unit. This is from the recirculation/aeration cycle. 6. You may detect a "musty" (like woods dirt) odor in the vicinity of the CA-5 unit. This is unlikely. You should not smell any `sour', `rotten', or `septic tank' odors. If you do, notify your Operator immediately, as something is malfunctioning. 7. Things you should not allow to go into your drains as they will adversely affect operation of the treatment process: a. water softener backwash b. large quantities of grease without a special grease trap c. groundwater or stormwater d. .equipment condensate, e.g., from an air conditioner. e. Non -biodegradable materials such a sanitary napkins, tampon applicators, diapers, plastic or rubber goods, cigarette butts, large quantities of hair, etc. These should be placed in the garbage and not in the drain. f. Chemicals such as acid, caustic cleaners, gasoline, oil, turpentine, photo developing fluids, etc. 8. The use of low -suds, biodegradable laundry detergents is recommended to avoid foaming and other problems. In other words, you do not have to do anything to operate this unit It contains all the factory preset controls to allow the unit to operate properly. In fact, if you do any "adjusting" you will adversely affect the operation of the unit and the treatment process. This in turn could cause problems with your pond and/or the spray irrigation equipment — and it will likely cost you money for the Operator to "undo" your work. O&M Manual Page 2 of — Spray Irrigation You have few regular duties to operate the spray irrigation system. The system is totally controlled by a computerized programmer. This programmer is calibrated at installation, and operates automatically thereafter. The irrigation pump operates on a water level control switch. It is also provided with a high water alarm that provides both visible (red light) and an audible (horn) alarm signals should the pump fail. If this should occur, you need to immediately notify your operator of the alarm. You have a minimum 15-day emergency storage capacity in the pond, which will provide you sufficient time to repair or replace the failed pump equipment. You will also need to develop a harvesting schedule for the pasture grass to keep it in optimum condition for forage. O&M Manual Page 3 of 3
