"CF I-en-g- A Surface Drip Wastewater Disposal system is proposed because of the lack of adequate available subsface soils either on or offsite. It has a presence of rock along with a perched soil wetness condition. The site drains down toward an existing jurisdictional creek. The storm water from the watershed directlyuphill from this site is diverted away from this site by an existing ridge as the system is being installed on a small, ridge within the watershed. The Watershed Classification for this area is "WS-C", within the Little Bear Creek watershed and drains specifically to air un-named tributary and is part of the Yadkin Pee -Dee Basin. The system will consist of a new Norweco Singular Green Bio-Kinetic Unit with a BioFilm Reactor Unit. An Ultraviolet disinfection unit, outside the BioFilm Unit, is used to sterilize the effluent before it is pumped to the disposal site. A Puturb effluent pump system inside the Pump Tank is recommended for this discharge. The Health Department was consulted and they determined that the site was unsuitable for a subsurface system. The owner hired an independent Soil Scientist to make a detailed analysis of the soils on the site. Thompson Environmental Consulting determined that a presence of rock along with, a perched soil wetness W= condition as the limiting fact r for the site. A copy of the Health, Department "Denial Reporf" for subsurface is included in this submittal along with the Soil Scientist Report. The system utilizes a Norweco Controlanal for the PreTreat units and UV Light and an American Control panel for the Pump Tank and Headworks, Unit. Each panel is housed within, a NEMAn l s that is setup for the floats, pumps d internal monitoring of the system. A pr ram abl r -logic controller (PLC) activates the discharge pump p through a program that self -adjusts these operations based on actual wastewater flow into the processor monitored by the PLC). The processor constantly aluat s the water usage and meters out the effluent discharge to the disposal area at the appropriate interval to assure proper effluent treatment. The proposed PreTreat Tanks are made of HDPE and the Pump Tank is made of precast concrete, Floatation of the tanks arenot a factor as the units are being installed above the road, on a ridge and not subjected to flooding. uh6"i�VC.CZZ(l€%fUX3�'3^.C>Y,>i'ki-b ti3 1",�k�i`k'&.blot;.iil`ki�K4SSX.tl1"n4a"�.+urka.?Ri.,.T;".,;iN„^?�'SR�tfW�"�.sv�v.4£v..�".`5, _ 1142 CATHERINE�^g' gqWOLFy,µ �r t g F#iSti4kdY£ � n so &WERMOTT FINa ��ff�kXSa`iii`5�;.,.„3)��.`.'iCS�v"in`i4t"�tSl^`SAY;N�LS•'f:�.3i:�M1t3X��`46xa,^'M1+.lk,"At9?�AYa{3*;�R'a!sY�uk?s'�:...�.�4`.*4a{"`�Y'Y.t 1 \ 5h S3�ftl}MLV ,sa�:slS+�i sH �"S'.3N1�Hau�,ry'�"'T:?YA4`tmmR�'iY�'u+".We9';�@iXb�'S',iYW`�:SNrl6TkS."FSw'+i:��s.`.Y4`d�1°MiR?�"a�i3Ya`.S 1U": VE: D �N C D E 0 T Vil R State of North Carolina DWR A U G 1 8 20 IlDepartment of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Resources Okwon of Water Resources Nqu-)n - D i �,, c ha el 15A NC AC 02T .0600 — LY RE SIDENCIE WASTEWATER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS INSTRUCTIONS FO FORM: SFRWWIS 11-13 & SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION The Division of Water Resources will not accept an application package unless all instructions are followed.

PO Box 541 Midland, NC 28107 70 4-301-4 8 May 4, 2016 This Soil Scientist Report is submitted as a site assessment of the Underwood Tract, located at 10389 NC Highway 73 East in Mt. Pleasant, North Carolina (Cabarrus County Parcel Identification Number: 56802125620000). The Cabarrus Health Alliance (CHA) denied. the request for an Improvement Permit for a four -bedroom house. As a result, the landowner is considering a surface drip wastewater disposal system for a four -bedroom house. Thompson Environmental Consulting, Inc. (TEC) has been retained to conduct a soil investigation for the system in accordance with state rules 15A NCAC 02T, 0600 (2T Rules) for a single-family surface drip system. The property is currently undeveloped and vegetated with a mixed deciduous forest. A single jurisdictional stream was identified in the southeast comer of property. TES: conducted a preliminary field survey on March 10 and 17, 2015. After that investigation, a Preliminary Soil & Site Evaluation report was generated detailing the lack of suitable area for a subsurface septic system. After discussions with the client, TEC was retained to investigate the site to determine suitability for a surface drip wastewater system. INVESTIGATION METHODOLOGY Soil borings were advanced over the subject property with a hand auger and their locations shown on the, attached figure. Observations of the landscape (slope, drainage patterns, etc.) as well as soil properties (depth, texture, structure, seasonal wetness, restrictive horizons, etc.) were recorded. Saturated hydraulic conductivity (KSAT) tests were performed using a compact constant -head permearrieter (Amoozerneter). Tests were allowed sufficient time for the Amoozemeters to generally reach steady-state, FINDINGS For the purpose of this report, the proposed, surface drip area is limited to the area surrounding the five (5) soil borings, that were classified as "Provisionally Suitable for a Drip Dispersal System". The Cabarrus County Soil Survey has two soil series rnapped in the vicinity of this area, the Badin soil series (Clayey, mixed, thermic Typic Haptudults) and the Kirksey soil series (fine -silty, siliceous, thermic Aquic Hapludults). A soil series determination was made by, comparing the soil boring descriptions to the NRCS Official Series Description (OSD) and the soil is best described by the Kirksey soil series, The presence of rock coupled with a perched soil wetness condition was observed as the main limitation. Boring 23 was chosen as the typical profile description for the soils comprising the proposed surface drip area, and is shown in Table I. Numerous other shallower soil borings were completed to better evaluate the soil variations of the study area. Full boring descriptions are appended.

The clay textured subsoils of the Bt horizons were estimated to be the most restrictive horizon. Four (4) KSAT tests were perfortned in the most restrictive horizon to determine the waste water application rate (Tests 1-3, 7). Three KSAT measurements (Tests 4-6) were conducted in the A horizon., which proved to be less limiting. Test 6 was not used in calculating the geometric mean or the annual hydraulic loading rate, Table 2 presents the results for the tests. The geometric mean for the most limiting subsurface lirifizon (Bt) was 0.098 ii-Ar. The data results of all the .SAT tests performed are listed in Appendix B and locations noted in Figure 1.

The equation used to determine the annual hydraulic loading rate was: Maxinnitri Allowable irrigatiob --- PET + Drainage Rate � Precipitation Where: PET = Potential Evapotranspiration Drainage Rate = Limiting Soil KSAT x Drainage Coefficient) Mean monthly precipitation and temperature data from 1971-2000 was provided by the State Climate Office of North Carolina for local weather station 311975 Concord. The 8 of percentile monthly precipitation was calculated and used for the rainfall component and evapotranspiration was calculated using the Thorrithwaite method, The geometric mean of Ks.,AT test values were modified by an appropriate Drainage Coefficient to determine the Drainage Rate. This coefficient reflects the influence of several parameters including: variation of permeability within a soil, rooting habits of vegetation, drainage characteristics of the site, and long-term changes in soil permeability due to wastewater application. With consideration to the above parameters a Drainage Coefficient of 0.05 was used, resulting in a Drainage Rate of 0.1176 inches/day and an annual hydraulic loading rate of 24.21 inches. These results are included in the attached SFR Loading Rate Worksheet (Appendix Q. Based upon the results of the site investigation, the annual loading rate, and our professional experience, the following;loading rates are recommended-, • Annual Loading Rate of 24.21 inches/year (0.465 inches/week) • Instantaneous Loading Rate of 0.2 inches/event Undem,00d Tract 3 Miv 4, 2016 The calculated annual loading rate of 24.21 inches (0.465 inches/week) is within the allowable maximum annual loading rate range of 1, 9.5-26. 0 inches per year for Soil SFR Loading Rate Group B. 0233MMEMEHMMM The area required for a four -bedroom house with a loading rate of 0.465 inches/week is approximately 11,609 ft'. The total estimated area available for disposal is in excess of 20,000 ft2 and should provide the necessary space for disposing of the effluent from the proposed four -bedroom house. A I 00-foot setback should be maintained between the drip dispersal area and any drinking well. Setbacks from the drip dispersal area to the property line will need to be 50 feet and the setback for the treatment units to the property line being 50 feet as well. A I 00-foot setback is required between the dispersal area and the stream and a 50-foot setback is required for the treatment units and the stream. Composite soil satriples; for the proposed irrigarion area were sent to NCDA&CS Agronomic Division for a fertility analysis. This report will be appended with the results fbr the fertility analysis when received ftont the NCDA. As noted in the SFR LRW, the maximum allowable annual wastewater irrigation rate is 24.21 inches per year, which is within the SFR-C loading rate group irrigation range of 19.5-26.0 inches per year. The proposed loading rate of 0.465 inches/week will generate an annual loading rate of 24.21 inches, Considering the surface horizons observed over the irrigation area and KSAT values, an instantaneous loading rate of 0,2 inches/event is recommended. Approximately 11,609 ft2 of usable area is required to support the irrigation field. The tract evaluated has adequate soil area to accommodate a surface drip system, with an estimated total area in excess of 20,000 ft', The findings presented herein represent TEC's professional opinion based on the soil and site evaluation and knowledge of the current laws and rules governing surface irrigation for on -site wastewater systems in North Carolina, The North Carolina DWR must issue the final pertnit.

If soil -test P-1 and K-1 values are adequate (>50), only nitrogen is recommended- Group D below, A mixed (N-P-K) fertilizer is recommended if P-1 and K-I values are less than optimum- Groups A - C below, Although a specific fertilizer grade may be recommended (e.g,, 5-10-10), other equivalent options are likely to be available (e.g., any fertilizer in Group A from Table 1). Tips on Fertilizer Application To determine how much fertilizer to buy, estimate (in feet) the length (L) and width (W) of the area to be treated: L X W = sq ft Square off curves to make estimates easier. If the recommendation is 20 ib per 1,000 so ft and your area is 5,000 sq ft, then you need 100 to (20 x 5) for your 5,000-sq-ft area. Calibrate your spreader according to manufacturer settings. Apply half the total rate in one direction, apply the rest at a 90' angle. This cross -hair pattern provides a more uniform application. After application, sweep up any fertilizer on hard surfaces and apply to fertilized areas so rainfall does not carry fertilizer to a storm drain, * Since these rates suoo1v 1 lb N 49-1119WAI.I.&PA CC cation exchange capacity CU-1 copper index HM% percent humic matter Mn-1 manganese index pH sojl pH S-1 sulfur index SS-1 soluble salt index WN weight per volume Zn-1 zinc index Time F�irttl"r Application to doincift with Plant Growth Cy0e: Sermudagraw May, july, Sept Cenfipedegrass� May St. Augustine grass'.

The end of the pipe must be accessible for cleaning and there must be sufficient distance below the bottom of the pipe to allow a free -failing sample to be collected, I M, Personal safety should be the first consideration during any sampling event. The same safety precautions exercised in any area of, wastewater treatment should be taken during effluent sample collection, Proper eye protection and disposable gloves should be worn, Always wash hands - thoroughly following any sample collection and especially before handOng any food. The use of hand sanitizing lotion is recommended, • A sterilized sample bottle with a sterilized cap supplied by the certified laboratory that will perform the analysis must be provided far each sample to be taken, Noorrally. only one sample bottle is required for BOD and TSS analysis. However, check with the laboratory conducting the analysis for the minimum sample size required, • Prior to sample collection, the effluent pipe between the Singulair system and the effluent pump chamber must be cleaned and sterilized. Due to gravity flow conditions, the effluent pipe will rarely flow full of effluent Typically, effluent flows through only a small section of the bottom of the pipe, The remainder of the pipe above the normal flow line is exposed to all types of environmental factors. Dust, leaves, plant spores, insects and even small animals may have access to a partially full effluent pipe, This foreign material can and routinely does collect in the pipe during low flow/no flow conditions and could be washed into the sample bottle when routine flow is present, For this reason, the interior of the entire length of effluent pipe and the exterior of the pipe in the vicinity of the sampling area should be cleaned and sterilized prior to collection of the sample, • If Possible, the interior of the entire length of pipe between the Singulair systern and the effluent pump chamber should be dearest using a 4"-6" diameter bristled brush, Soap and water or a liquid detergent solution should he used. After cleaning the effluent pipe with the bristled brush, swab the entire length of the interior of the pipe ,with a 4%6' diameter sponge and fresh water. After swabbing the pipe, soak the sponge in bleach or peroxide and disinfect the interior of the pipe and the exterior of the pipe in the vicinity of the sampling area.

Top feed supply manifolds can be used with supply lines fed by zone valves located with the filtration equipment or zone valves located at the same location as the (TFM). The emitters are normally open and when at low pressure they will drain effluent ` out of the pipe. The effluent will also flow downhill within° lateral when the lateral is made up of several runs located on contour but each being down slope from the previous run, The rt R e t u r n "-4% (TFM) system is designed to make effluent go.

Seedbed Preparation & Seeding Rate Specification The following summarizes the specifications recommended in the attached 02920 document to maximize the success for the seeding work to be completed. 1. All disturbed areas to be grassed are to be graded +/- 2/10" for positive drainage and into approved drainage swales and basins. 1 Prior to seeding, all areas to be seeded, shall be scarified 4-6" deep with a rototill or tined machined. 3. Soil PH shall be measured by an approved soil testing method. Soil test results will be shared with the property owner and the contractor will amend the soil according to the soil test analysis recommendations. A PH of between 6 and 7 is recommended for maximum success of Fescue seeding. Fertilizer with the soil analysis recommendation of the proper formulation of N, P & K shall be applied and added to the soil prior to final grading to ensure mixing 1-2" into the soil layer, 4. Final grading shall be completed once the lime and phosphate has been added to the soil. Final grading may be completed utilizing fine grading tractor implements or by dragging a fence across the soil for a smooth surface, 5. After final grade, seed and fertilizer may be applied. Turf Type tall fescue shall be applied at a rate of 6-7lbs per 1000 sq feet of area. Fertilizer shall be applied as per the recommendation of the soil analysis testing. All seed shall be tagged certified and at least 98% pure and free of noxious weed seed. 6. To keep moisture in the soil and promote good seed growth after initial germination, either clean fresh wheat straw mulch shall be applied at 2 bales per 1000 sq feet or wood fiber hydromulch, If straw is used, then it shall be coated with Hydromulch to tack the straw to prevent excessive blowing in windy weather, 7. Water shall be applied to the seed at least every other day for a period of two weeks to maximize germination. 8. If soil temperatures drop below 58 degrees, mix in 25% annual rye grass into the seeding mixture, Fescue may need to be overseeded in the spring as the rye dies.

Do not apply too much lime. When soil pH becomes too high, lowering it is very difficult. Often, the best solution then is to choose plants that can tolerate a high pH. CEC cation exchange capacity Choosing dolomitic lime can be advantageous because it contains the nutrients calcium and magnesium, Pelleted lime is easier to Cu-I copper index spread uniformly than powdered lime, HM% percent humic matter Lime can be applied at any time of year, but because it reacts slowiy, it is best to apply rt several months before a new planting. Mn-1 manganese index Mixing it into the soil will speed the reaction time. Lime applied to the soil surface takes much longer to correct soil pH. pH soil pH A surface application should not exceed 60 lb per 1,000 so ft, If a soil report recommends more than this, apply 60 lb per 1.000 so S-1 sulfur index ft initially and the rest in similar increments every 6-9 months until the full rate is applied. SS4 soluble salt index Fertilizer WN weight per volume Sell tests do not measure nitrogen (N) since it is very unstable in soils; the N recommendations provided on the soil report are Zn-I zinc index based on plant needs. If soil -test P-1 and K4 values are adequate (1>50), only nitrogen is recommended- Group D below. A mixed (N-P-K) fertilizer is recommended if P-1 and Time Fertilizer Application to Coincide K-I values are less than optirnum- Groups A - C below. Although a specific fertilizer grade may be recommended (e,g,, 5-10-10), with Plant Growth Cycle: other equivalent options are likely to be available (e.g., any fertilizer in Group A from Table 1).

Residuals Management Plan Effluent from a residential house is residential in nature, Concentrations and strengths of the effluent are consistent with very small variations, Peak Flow @ 480 gpd and Average Flows @ 288 gpd, The equipment used for the Treatment process is designed for residential effluent and with larger flows (up to 600 gpd). Therefore, the amount of residuals available from the treatment process will be very small. It will not be enough to filter, screen or to collect. Most of the residuals will be processed back into the septic chamber for retreatment. The end result of the treatment system is a relatively clear liquid. The wastewater flow will be piped directly into the treatment system so that trash, sediment and grit have little opportunity to be introduced into the system, Part of the Maintenance process is for the Operator of the system to make periodic inspections of the system which includes evaluating the residual buildup within the tanks. These inspections are required quarterly and some are bi-annually. The Operator can determine at that time if the system needs to be pumped or cleaned. Because the system is designed for very little if any residual buildup, a residuals Management Plan is not necessary and a preplanned storage of the residuals is not necessary. The residential house does not incorporate a process that would require an Oil/Grease collection/disposal system.

Heavy Lifting Hazards The owner and/or operator should exercise proper caution when lifting heavy system components, such as pump tank lids. Improper lifting of heavy components can lead to loss uflimb and/or mobility. CD American Manufacturing Company, Inc., 2006 - 2 vm^^w.omvriranon,itncom OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY Preventative Maintenance The drip field area should receive only the most passive type yard uses, No use is recommended when conditions are wet, Under no conditions are any autos or heavy machinery to be allowed on the site., In order to prevent erosion, the site should be established and maintained as a healthy lawn, or if wooded, mulched and stabilized. Erosion of the site and the adjacent areas should be controlled and eliminated. Surface waters should be diverted away from all components. Scheduled Inspections Within a month of operation the owner should contact the installer to have the system inspected for proper startup. After three months of operation the drip field should be walked and the system inspected. Symptoms to look for on the field walk inspection are patches of wetness. if symptoms are identified, notify your service provider immediately. The drip field should be walked & inspected at least annually. A trained professional service provider„ your American Dealer„ should inspect the septic tank and pump chambers at least once a year, The septic tank should be pumped when the sludge level reaches 25% or approximately 12 inches, or when the scum layer on top is excessive. The flow meter reading in the hydraulic unit should be recorded with the date on a quarterly basis, Alarms - Ngtifying_Service Provider of alarm events The system controller is equipped with an audiovisual alarm-to-alarm high water level condition. The high level alarm may be silenced by pressing the "silence' button on the side of the control, Since a high water level condition can be caused by pump failure, excessive infiltration, or an unusually large peak water use, the owner should call the service provider to determine the cause of the alarm prior to requesting service, If at any time there are any indications of failure, such as the flow meter not moving during a dose or wetness in the area of the drip field, notify your service provider immediately. Monitor & Regulate waste input to septic tanks Since all processes in this sewage disposal system use biological activity to treat the wastewater, only typical biodegradable household wastes are to be disposed of in drains leading to the septic tank. Never dispose of pesticides, oil or grease based products, or non-fecal solids (especially feminine hygiene products) into the system. Minimize disposal of high strength over-the-counter type products such as bleach, and do not use colored toilet tissue. OVERVIEW OF PERC-RITE° DRIP SYSTEM The Perc-Rite Drip System is a unique fluid handling system for dispersal of effluent wastewater in soil systems. The system incorporates filtration, time and level controlled application and ultra low rate drip distribution, In conditions where aerobic dispersal, such as "Low Pressure Distribution", of septic effluent is required or where land application with the use of conventional soil absorption fields are not acceptable, this system offers a unique method for subsurface distribution of the waste water effluent. The Perc-Ritee Drip System will accommodate virtually any type of pretreatment process, whether septic tank (anaerobic), aerobic, lagoon, or any type of treatment facility, Only primary treatment (the removal of large settleable solids) of sewage is necessary for the operation of the system. Local soil and site conditions may require additional treatment for excessive organics, oil and grease or other contaminants. Since the installation of the field distribution lines causes very little soil disturbance and effluent discharge volume from each emitter hole is insignificant, the installation of the system has very little site impact even in established lawns or park areas. After installation there are virtually no visible indications that the installation site is being used for disposal purposes„ This system is especially suited for landscaped or wooded areas near buildings, trailer parks, apartment complexes or residential subdivisions, The Perc-Rite Drip System is operated via a "state of the art" controller, which is activated by level sensing devices (standard mechanical differential float switches) located in a dosing tank downstream from the pretreatment process or processes (typically a septic tank). When activated by the rising level of effluent in the dosing tank, the controller will enable the disposal cycle, and as dictated by the time clock, pump the effluent through a 115-micron disc filter and then to final drip dispersal. Drip Tubing The drip field supply line conveys the effluent to the drip absorption zone that is being dosed where it is discharged below the soil surface through a patented chemical-resisting pressure compensating self cleaning "drip" poly-tubing emitter, The emitters or "drippers' are located every two feet in the tubing and emit 0.6,5 gallons per hour per emitter. The dripper lines are automatically scoured (forward flushed) every 25 dosing cycles. This function is activated by the controller, which opens the field flush valve, thus allowing the flushed effluent to be returned to the pretreatment tank. The duration of this cycle is approximately three minutes, The flushing cycle produces a high American Manufacturing Company, Inc., 2006 - 3 - www.americanonsite.com velocity cleansing/scouring action by the effluent along the inside walls of the dripper tubing and P.V.C. Manifolds. The tubing emitters are self-cleaning and require no maintenance„ The construction of the drip tubing is unique in that the internal diaphragm and labyrinth provide for an exact amount of effluent to be discharged from each of its emitters, which are spaced at two-foot intervals along the entire length of the drip tubing. Each emitter maintains a constant flow over pressure ranges of 7 to 70 psi, Because the effluent is distributed at an ultra low rate, large quantities of effluent may be economically distributed over large areas during controlled periods of time without saturating the surrounding soil. Air Release Valves The drip field return line conveys the effluent from the drip absorption zone (used to "flush" or clean the tubing) back to the pretreatment device. Each zone will have an air release valve housed in a small valve box at the highest point of the return manifold pipe, This valve will close when the water pressure arrives at the valve during each dose, The air release valve allows air to reenter the tubing after each dose to allow the tubing to drain„ This also prevents the uphill tubing from draining water into the downhill tubing and overloading downhill tubing. In the event of damage to the air release valve, effluent may leak from the system, This condition should be fixed immediately by replacing damaged parts, Air release valves should not be covered with soil or other material and should always be accessible to the service personnel. Sequence of Operation; PERC-RITV DRIP SYSTEM The pump control panel is equipped with four float switches to control the timed doses to be discharged. The four float switches, "Redundant Off", "Standard Dose Enable", Peak Dose Enable" (optional), and "High Level" function as follows' Redundant Off - The water level must be high enough to overcome the "'Redundant Off" (first & bottom) float in order for the pump to be permitted to run. Standard Dose Enable - When the water level rises high enough to overcome the "Standard Dose Enable" (second) float and the time clock has timed out the preset time delay of 180 minutes (rest between dosing cycles for two zone designs) the pump will activate and the lead zone is dosed. The pump will continue to run for the length of time as adjusted on the pump run timer and then shut off. The pump will remain off until the internal time clock again times out the preset time delay (180 minutes) after which the pump will activate (as long as the "Standard Dose Enable" float is still up) and will run until the pump run timer finishes timing out. This process will repeat until the water level drops below the "Standard Dose Enable" float and the pump run timer has timed out, The rest time automatically varies with the number of Zones. Peak Dose Enable - The control system will be equipped with a "'Peak Dose Enable" circuit to manage peak flows and excess water use. If the rising water level activates the "Peak Dose Enable" (third) float, the "Pump - Off - Pump & Alarm" switch is set to "Pump'', and the preset time delay has exceeded 108 minutes ("Peak Dose Enable" rest between cycles for two zone designs), the lead zone will be dosed, When the peak circuit has been deactivated the normal pumping cycle will resume, If the rising water level activates the "'Peak Dose Enable" (third) float, the "Pump - Off - Pump & Alarm"' switch is set to "Pump & Alarm", and the preset time delay has exceeded 108 minutes (-Peak Dose Enable" rest between cycles for two zone designs), the lead zone will be dosed and the "Peak Dose Enable" alarm will be activated. The audio portion of the alarm may be silenced by pressing the Test-Normal-Silence switch to the silence position,. When the "Peak Dose Enable" float has returned to the down position the alarm will be. deactivated and the normal pumping cycle will resume, The rest time automatically varies with the number of Zones. High Level - If the water level rises enough to overcome the "High Level" (fourth) float, the audiovisual alarm will activate„ The audio portion of the alarm may be silenced by pressing the Test-Normal-Silence switch (located on the outside of the control panel) to the silence position. The alarm circuit will auto reset when the "High Level" float returns to its normal (down) position, The high-level alarm float is a wide-angle float in order to latch the alarm signal. CONTROLLER The "state of the art" controller is enclosed in an outdoor electrical control box located near and connected to the hydraulic unit, The control panel uses 115 or 230 volt power and the microprocessor has120V and 24V AC inputs and relay outputs for automatic operation of the Pere-Rite° ,Drip System. When in the "Hand" or "Off" position, the manual switches (Hand-Off-Auto) on the door of the control panel completely bypass the microprocessor„ The "Hand" position will allow manual operation of the component in the event of a microprocessor failure, NOTE: THE HOMEOWNER ASSUMES FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONDITIONS OR MALFUNCTIONS DUE TO CHANGES IN PUMP RUN TIME BY ANYONE OTHER THAN A QUALIFIED SERVICE.

Zone Valves Backflush Valves Supply From Return To. Pump Tank _ Septic Tank Hydraulic Unit The submersible pump delivers unfiltered effluent through each filter. The filter backflushing schedule is triggered at the beginning of each dose cycle. The backflushing sequence is as follows. One filter valve closes, thus blocking the flow of unfiltered effluent to that filter. After a short delay,. the other flushing valve opens, thereby backflushing the unused filter. The accumulated impurities discharge back into the pretreatment unit. The closing and opening procedure of the filter and back flush valves causes a change of flow within the unit to provide effluent from one filter to backflush the other filter. The backflush procedure lasts approximately fifteen seconds then the back flushing valve closes. Only after the first filter has completed its backflushing cycle, will the second filter begin its cycle of backflushing in the same manner as the first. Effluent will then be pumped through clean disc filters, then through the flow meter and finally through the zone valves to the drip field supply line. During extended dose times the disc filters are re-backwashed to assure optimum operation. System Parameters Simplex System wit 1 or 2 Zones & 2 Disc Filters a.

SEPTIC DRIP SYSTEM RESIDENTIAL OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE November 1998 The following recommendation was made for the normal operation and maintenance of a septic drip system. The assumption was made that the system was sited, designed, and installed properly and there are no limiting site conditions present. DESIGN STANDARD 1. The system must be user friendly. The installation should provide for easy access of the monitoring components without obstructions or the requirement for special tools or heavy lifting. 2. First visit within one month of occupancy to inform Owner of system and owner responsibility for long term service. The owner has two basic obligations; 1.) do not damage system 2) inform operator of alarm conditions. 3. One visit after first 90 days of operation. The visit to include the following: o Sludge Judge the septic tank blanket o Inspect the drip system hardware for operation o Inspect system with operational checklist o Check landscaping for interference with system o Check water-usage and evaluate usage compared to design 4. The inspection frequency should be set based on the first year evaluation. Future inspections should be at least every 1 year or as permit directs. 5. In the event a wastewater strength problem is indicated by the one year inspection or any other time, samples should he taken for wastewater strength. 6. Inspections should be performed at each real property transfer. Upgrade system as necessary. ":• „Am 11 DISPOSAL AREA-SURFACE DRIP 49: r.. Maintenance Plan and Schedule 1....._7111111W ' LASH ENGINEERING Wastewater Facility Maintenance Plan Common Maintenance Issues Wastewater Disposal Facilities require plant, soil, and sometimes mulch maintenance to ensure optimal infiltration, storage, and pollutant removal capabilities. Disposal System maintenance requirements are typical landscape care procedures and include: 1. Watering: Watering should not be required after establishment(about 2 to.3 years), However, watering may be required during prolonged dry periods after plants are established. 2. Erosion Control: Inspect tubing areas for leaks, ponding, or surface overflow areas periodically. Replace soil, plant material, and/or mulch in areas where erosion has occurred. Erosion problems should only occur during extreme weather events. If sediment is deposited in the Disposal area, immediately determine the source, remove excess deposits, and correct the problem. 3. Plant Material: Occasional pruning and removal of dead plant material may be necessary. Replace any dead plants immediately upon discovery. If specific plants consistently have a high mortality rate, alternate similar approved species may be used. Periodic weeding is necessary until groundcover plants are established. Weeding should become less frequent as the design density is accomplished. 4. Nutrients and 'Pesticides: The soil media and plant material has been selected for optimum. fertility,plant establishment, and growth within the particular conditions of each Disposal facility. Nutrient and pesticide inputs should NOT be required and will degrade the pollutant processing capability, as well as contribute to additional pollutant loading to receiving soils or waters. By design, Disposal facilities are typically specified in areas where phosphorous and. nitrogen levels are often elevated. Therefore, these should not be limiting nutrients with regard to plant health. If in question, have the soil analyzed for fertility. 5.Mulch: Replace mulch annually in Disposal facilities where required and where heavy metal deposition is likely (e.g., drainage areas that include commercial/industrial uses, parking lots, or roads). In residential or other settings where metal deposition is not a concern, replace or add mulch as needed to maintain a 2 to 4 inch depth at least once every two years. 6.Soil media: Soil mixes for Disposal facilities are designed to maintain long-term fertility and pollutant processing capability. Estimates from metal attenuation research indicate that metal accumulation should not present a toxicity concern for at least 20 years (USEPA 2000). Further, replacing mulch where heavy metal deposition likely occurs provides an additional factor of safety for prolonged Disposal performance. If in question, have soil analyzed for fertility and. pollutant levels. When the filtering capacity diminishes substantially (e.g., when water ponds on the surface for more than 12 hours), remedial actions must be taken. One common problem occurs when the drip tubing becomes clogged. Flushing through the drip tubing is an everyday occurrence and is built into the automatic process of the system. There are 2 filters that are automatically cleaned by the system so clogging should not occur. If the water continues to pond for more than 12 hours, then remove the Page 1 of 3 top few inches of material and iinspect the tubing and area for damage. If excessive ponding still occurs, more extensive investigation is required. Examples of When to Perform Maintenance • Fill disposal area shows signs of erosion or excess sediment deposition. • Ponding has occurred. • Plants are in need of water or need to be replaced. Important inspection and maintenance procedures: — immediately after the Disposal Area is established, the plants will be watered twice weekly if needed until the plants become established (commonly six weeks). — Snow, mulch or any other material should NEVER be piled on the surface of the Disposal Area. — Heavy equipment should NEVER be driven over the Disposal.. — Special care should be taken to prevent sediment from entering the Disposal Area, After the Disposal. Area is established, inspection is required once a month and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.0 inches (or 1.5 inches if in a Coastal County). Records of inspection and maintenance will be kept in a known set location and will he available upon request. Inspection activities shall be performed as follows. Any problems that are found shall be repaired immediately.

Underwood SE#2015- 00193 Cabarrus Health Alliance Environmental Health Department file # 15-240 Dear Mrs. Underwood, The Cabarrus Health Alliance Environmental Health Division on 10/22/2015 evaluated the above-referenced property at the site designated on the plat/site plan that accompanied your improvement permit application. According to your application the site is to serve a 4 bedroom house with a design wastewater flow of 480 gallons per day. The evaluation was done in accordance with the laws and rules governing wastewater systems in North Carolina General Statute 130A-333 including related statutes and Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Rule. 1900 and related rules. Based on the criteria set out in Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Rules .1940 through .1948, the evaluation indicated that the site is UNSUITABLE for a ground absorption sewage system. Therefore, your request for an improvement permit is DENIED. A copy of the site evaluation is enclosed. The site is unsuitable based on the following: X Unsuitable soil topography and/or landscape position(Rule .1940) X Unsuitable soil characteristics (structure or clay mineralogy) (Rule .1941) X Unsuitable soil wetness condition (Rule .1942) X Unsuitable soil depth(Rule .1943) Presence of restrictive horizon(Rule .1944) X Insufficient space for septic system and repair area(Rule .1945) Unsuitable for meeting required setbacks (Rule .1950) Other(Rule .1946) The site evaluation included consideration of possible site modifications, and modified, innovative or alternative systems. However, the Health Department has determined that none of the above options will overcome the severe conditions on this site. A possible option might be a system designed to dispose of sewage to another area of suitable soil or off-site to additional property. For the reasons set out above, the property is currently classified UNSUITABLE,and no improvement permit shall be issued for this site in accordance with Rule .1948(c). However, the site classified as UNSUITABLE may be classified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE if written documentation is provided that meets the requirements of Rule .1948(d). A copy of this rule is enclosed.You may hire a consultant to assist you if you wish to try to develop a plan under which your site could be reclassified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE.
