HomeMy WebLinkAboutWQ0029635_Regional Office Historical File Pre 2018Parker, Tony R From: Basinger, Corey Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2020 3:31 PM To: Schutte, Maria; Watson, Edward M Cc: Parker, Tony R;-Pitner, Andrew Subject: Water's Edge and Sunset Pointe (Rowan Co)... Just a quick reminder... We discussed last year that at permit renewal for Water's Edge and Sunset Pointe (Rowan County), we would incorporate the components of the collection systems into the non -discharge permits and thus eliminate the collection system permits (WQCSD0619 & 0620). Once these ND permits are reissued, we can remove the WQCSD permit numbers. Thanks, CB W.

Collection System Rowan County Direclor Staff of the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) conducted a compliance inspection on February 11th, 2016, which included a review of the collection and treatment and irrigation systems. The MRO would like to thank Lynn Aldridge (ORC) for his time during the inspection. Please note the existing permit condition(s) for sampling and reporting requirements were not followed. The issue was discussed with the ORC on -site and in a follow-up email request: Mr. Aldridge confirmed by email on February 28th, 2016, that the annual soil samples had not been collected. This NOD is being issued for the following specific condition(s): IV. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS 12. An annual representative soils analysis... shall be conducted on each irrigationfield... In addition, the. lagoon's .high -'water alarm currently does not trigger any response. The MRO. recognizes the wastewater system is currently under_utilized and lagoon.water levels are such that they are unlikely to trip an alarm; however, it is recommended telemetry (auto -dialer) be connected. There appears to be a phone line in place but installation -has never been completed.

An old well was discovered during the site visit. Please locate this well on the site map, provide longitude/latitude coordinates, and confirm that this well will be properly abandoned. 2. Form: PSSA 10/99 (Page 7 of 6), seal, signatures, and dates missing. 3. An old farm gully was found in the northern end of the project that lies within the proposed drip field area. This gully is unsuitable for use as a drip area and should be removed from the drip area. An alternative would be to fill this area with suitable soil and properly grade the site. If the fill/grading option is chosen, a follow-up soil scientist report will be required once construction is complete to certify that this amended area is capable of accepting the assigned amount of wastewater. 4. The water balance is calculated using a 37.00 acre wetted area. Form: SIA 09-02 (pl0) and the Calculations for Sunset Pointe Subdivision Treatment System & Surface Drip Application both show the size of the wetted area as 34.7 acres. What is the exact acreage of the wetted area? Please recalculate the water balance if the size of the wetted area is not 37.00 acres. Please make any necessary changes in the engineering calculations if the wetted acreage is not 34.7 acres. 5. Please describe in detail how the drip area will be managed. What type of vegetative cover will there be in the open field (presently cropland) and in the recent clear cut? Will the pine forest area be thinned? Are there any plans to harvest trees when the pines in the forested area mature? warF9Q `? r O 'C 'Earl Garrick High Rock Lake Development, LLC 831 Mitchell Avenue Salisbury, NC 28144 Dear Mr. Garrick: Michael F.

The old well located near the northeastern area of the disposal field has been shown on plan sheet U-2 (with coordinates) and included in the revised section of Mr. Eric Lappala's report. 3. The old farm gully found in the northern end ofthe project that lies within the proposed drip field area has been and the . general area indicated on sheet U-2. Plan notes require the contractor to have the soil scientist evaluate the soil proposed to fill and grade the existing gully and re-evaluate after the area is filled and graded for disposal. 4. The water balance has been revised by Mr. Lappala and Mr. Willcox and both revised reports and figures have been attached to this submittal. The changes in drip surface area from 37 acres to the correct amount (as shown on plans) of 34.7 acres required an increase in wet weather storage from 52 to 56 days. Basin has been regarded accordingly on plan sheets U-1 and U-2. - 5. Eight foot wide access roads have been provided around the perimeter of each zone of the drip fields so that the operator can easily check the drip fields. Since the area will be cleared of underbrush and the canopy ofthe trees will be raised to a minimum of eight feet above the forest floor, the operator will be able to check the areas of the drain fields by driving.along the aisles. At the pump house, the operator will be able to check flows and pump run times. This will allow the operator to tell if a zone has a leak or broken/damaged line and the operator will have to walk the drain field. Once per year, the operator will be required to maintain the treatment area by spraying herbicide around the perimeter ofthe fields and other areas ofthe treatment and disposal system The contractor will be required to plant Loblolly Pine saplings in the areas that were clear cut or currently have no tree cover. The installation contractor will thin the underbrush (3" in diameter or less) in the areas in the existing pine forest By request ofthe permit, once the existing trees in the forested areas mature, the Homeowner's Association will be required to have the forest evaluated by an agronomist 5 years from date of issuance of the permit and every 5 years thereafter to determine if crop harvesting is needed. 6. On plan sheet U-2, the plans note that signs will be required to be posted around all ofthe disposal and treatment areas. A detail ofthe sign has been shown in the lower right hand comer of plan sheet U-4. 7. The application has been revised to be consistent with plan sheet U-2. 8. The total pump run time sheet has been revised to correspond with the application for zones 13 and 14. 9. Zone valve 6 in the application has been revised to correspond with the plan sheet U-2 and the calculations. R_ 1 10. Zone valve 8 in the application has been revised to correspond with the plan sheet U-2 and the calculations. 11. Zone valve 13 in the calculations has been revised to correspond with the plan sheet U-2 and the application. 12. Zone valve 14 in the calculations has been revised to correspond with the plan sheet U-2 and the application. 13. The sum of the total area of each zone has been revised in the application to be 34.7 acres and is consistent with all plans, specifications, calculations, reports, etc. We believe this information is sufficient for approval for the aforementioned project.

Sincerely yours; e, %%J4111eairrri SEAL Eric G. Lappala, P.E., P.H. January 5, 2006 1. Introduction The wastewater treatment and reclaimed water land application system for Sunset Pointe is located south of Long Ferry Road and West of Goodman Lake Road in northwestern Rowan County, North Carolina (Figure 1). As an integrated part of the treatment system the reclaimed wastewater will be used to irrigate the, approximately 35 .acres of mixed pine and deciduous forest using a drip irrigation system. The Sunset Pointe wastewater treatment and drip irrigation system will be permitted as a non -discharge facility under 15A NCAC 2H .0200. This work was performed by Eagle Resources, P.A. under contract to High Rock Development, LLC. 1.1. Purpose This hydrogeologic study has been completed in support of the non -discharge permit as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0200, and conforms to the criteria outlined in 15A NCAC 2H .0205(d)(5)(E) and 15A'NCAC 2H .0205(d)(5)(F). The purpose of the hydrogeologic study is to provide the necessary information and analyses to document the occurrence and movement of groundwater beneath and in the vicinity of the planned drip irrigation area to assess the potential for development of shallow water table conditions. The hydrogeologic study provided information and analyses that was used in conjunction with the results of the Soils Report (S&ME, 2005) and site development constraints provided by Piedmont Design Associates, P.A. to document the hydrogeologic system and to assess the likely depth to water table beneath the drip irrigation area. 1.2. Disclaimer Some analyses contained in this report relied upon data and information provided by others. Eagle Resources P.A. makes no representations regarding the completeness, accuracy and reliability of that data and information. 1 A IN 5.3. Water supply Wells Analysis of aerial photos and U.S.G.S. 7.5 minute topographic. maps, and location of residences from the Rowan County GIS website show that no evidence of water supply wells within 500 feet of the potential drip irrigation area (Figure 1). However, field investigation on December 16, 2005 discovered an old, unused well at the location shown on Figure 3 (Rev.). The depth of this well could not be determined at the time of the field investigation. It is recommended that this well be properly abandoned by a North Carolina licensed water well contractor prior to commencement of the application of water to the dripfield. The NAD83 North Carolina State Plane coordinates in feet are: Easting 1598241, Northing: 703301 as determined by Eagle Resources using a field grade GPS (7-10 ft accuracy) The equivalent latitude and longitude of this well in decimal degrees are: 35.674907N, 80.352805W. 5.4. Water Level Measurements Water level measurements in the piezometers were completed immediately prior to conducting slug tests in the piezometers in November 2005. Only three of the piezometers contained water at the time of the measurement. The water level measurements are included in Table 3. These measurements were used to establish the likely depth to the water table in the potential sprayfield areas, and to constrain the numerical groundwater flow model within the property boundaries.

The additional information fee in the amount of $1,409.00 made payable to NCDENR has been attached to this submittal package (High Rock Development Company, LLC Check # 136). 2. The old well located near the northeastern area of the disposal field has been shown on plan sheet U-2 (with coordinates) and included in the revised section of Mr. Eric Lappala's report. 3. The old farm gully found in the northern end of the project that lies within the proposed drip field area has been and the general area indicated on sheet U-2. Plan notes require the contractor to have the soil scientist evaluate the soil proposed to fill and grade the existing gully and re-evaluate after the area is filled and graded for disposal. 4. The water balance has been revised by Mr. Lappala and Mr. Willcox and both revised reports and figures have been attached to this submittal. The changes in drip surface area from 37 acres to the correct amount (as shown onplans) of 34.7 acres required an increase in wet weather storage from 52 to 56 days. Basin has been regarded accordingly on plan sheets U-1 and U-2. 5. Eight foot wide access roads have been provided around the perimeter of each zone of the drip fields so that the operator can easily check the drip fields. Since the area will be cleared of underbrush and the canopy of the trees will be raised to a minimum of eight feet above the forest floor, the operator will be able to check the areas of the drain fields by driving along the aisles. At the pump house, the operator will be able to check flows and pump run times. This will allow the operator to tell if a zone has a leak or broken/damaged line and the operator will have to walk the drain field. Once per year, the operator will be required to maintain the treatment area by spraying herbicide around the perimeter of the fields and other areas of the treatment and disposal system The contractor will be required to plant Loblolly Pine saplings in the areas that were clear cut or currently have no tree cover. The installation contractor will thin the underbrush (Y in diameter or less) in the areas in the existing pine forest. By request of the permit, once the existing trees in the forested areas mature, the Homeowner's Association will be required to have the forest evaluated by an agronomist 5 years from date of issuance of the permit and every 5 years thereafter to determine if crop harvesting is needed. 6. On plan sheet U-2, the plans note that signs will be required to be posted around all of the disposal and treatment areas. A detail of the sign has been shown in the lower right hand corner of plan sheet U-4. 7. The application has been revised to be consistent with plan sheet U-2. 8. The total pump run time sheet has been revised to correspond with the application for zones 13 and 14. 9. Zone valve 6 in the application has been revised to correspond with the plan sheet U-2 and the calculations. 10. Zone valve 8 in the application has been revised to correspond with the plan sheet U-2 and the calculations. 11. Zone valve 13 in the calculations has been revised to correspond with the plan sheet U-2 and the application. 12. Zone valve 14 in the calculations has been revised to correspond with the plan sheet U-2 and the application. 13. The sum of the total area of each zone has been revised in the application to be 34.7 acres and is consistent with all plans, specifications, calculations, reports, etc. We believe this information is sufficient for approval for the aforementioned project.

Introduction The wastewater treatment and reclaimed water land application system for Sunset Pointe is located south of Long Ferry Road and West of Goodman Lake Road in northwestern Rowan County, North Carolina (Figure 1). As an integrated part of the treatment system the reclaimed wastewater will be used to irrigate the approximately 35 acres of mixed pine and deciduous forest using a drip irrigation system. The Sunset Pointe wastewater treatment and drip irrigation system will be permitted as a non -discharge facility under 15A NCAC 2H .0200. This work was performed by Eagle Resources, P.A. under contract to High Rock Development, LLC. 1.1. Purpose This hydrogeologic study has been completed in support of the non -discharge permit as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0200, and conforms to the criteria outlined in 15A NCAC 2H .0205(d)(5)(E) and 15A'NCAC 2H .0205(d)(5)(F). The purpose of the hydrogeologic study is to provide the necessary information and analyses to document the occurrence and movement of groundwater beneath and in the vicinity of the planned drip irrigation area to assess the potential for development of shallow water table conditions. The hydrogeologic study provided information and analyses that was used in conjunction with the results of the Soils Report (S&ME, 2005) and site development constraints provided by Piedmont Design Associates, P.A. to document the hydrogeologic system and to assess the likely depth to water table beneath the drip irrigation area. 1.2. Disclaimer Some analyses contained in this report relied upon data and information provided by others. Eagle Resources P.A. makes no representations regarding the completeness, accuracy and reliability of that data and information. .W IF 5.3. Water Supply Wells Analysis of aerial photos and U.S.G.S. 7.5 minute topographic maps, and location of residences from the Rowan County GIS website show that no evidence of water supply wells within 500 feet of the potential drip irrigation area (Figure 1). However, field investigation on December 16, 2005 discovered an old, unused well at the location shown on Figure 3 (Rev.). The depth of this well could not be determined at the time of the field investigation. It is recommended that this well be properly abandoned by a North Carolina licensed water well contractor prior to commencement of the application of water to the dripfield. The NAD83 North Carolina State Plane coordinates in feet are: Easting 1598241, Northing: 703301 as determined by Eagle Resources using a field grade GPS (7-10 ft accuracy) The equivalent latitude and' longitude of this well in decimal degrees are: 35.674907N, 80.352805W. 5.4. Water Level Measurements Water level measurements in the piezometers were completed immediately prior to conducting slug tests in the piezometers in November 2005. Only three of the piezometers contained water at the time of the measurement. The water level measurements are included in Table 3. These measurements were used to establish the likely depth to the water table in the potential sprayfield areas, and to constrain the numerical groundwater flow model within the property boundaries.

Groundwater Flow Model Application The calibrated flow model was used to assess the potential for the development of water conditions at depths less than three feet. 7.3.1. Simulated depth to water beneath drip irrigation area The groundwater model was used to assess the likely depth to water beneath drip irrigation area. The requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0200 require the water table beneath drip irrigation area to at all times be greater than one foot, and if between one and 3 feet, that a demonstration be made that groundwater quality is not or will not be adversely affected. Initial recharge under the drip irrigation area was simulated by applying the average annual drainage rate of 5.25 inches/month in/week from the S&ME water balance model. The average recharge rate applied outside the drip irrigation area was equal to the average annual rate under normal climatic conditions of 8.4 inches/year (0.16 inches/week) discussed in section 7.1.4. All groundwater model analyses were steady state (non time - varying).. The initial recharge rate under the drip irrigation area resulted in significant portions of the area having a water table shallower than 3 feet. Consequently, the recharge rate was reduced in the irrigation area until only one small area remained with a simulated depth to the watertable between 2 and 3 feet as shown in Figure 10. 7.3.2. Revised Water Balance As discussed in the previous section, recommended drainage rate to minimize the likelihood of the permanent watertable rising to within three feet of the land surface is 3.0 inches/month. The initial water balance prepared by S&ME used 5.25 inches/month. Consequently, the water balance was revised using this lower drainage value. The revision is included as Attachment D to this report. Using assumptions and approaches in the revised water balance that have been used as part of multiple previously approved non -discharge permit applications, the resultant wet weather storage requirements are essentially the same as in the S&ME water balance. The recommended average annual hydraulic loading rate from the revised water balance is 37.33 inches/year, compared to the 40.27 inches per year in the revised water balance of the S&ME report using a wetted area of 34.7 acres. 31 Y w 'We &aIrc-5 8. Conclusions A defensible conceptual hydrogeologic model of the areas including the proposed drip irrigation area has been constructed using available information from public domain sources, field investigations, and tests by S&ME. The conceptual model developed of subsurface geology and hydrogeology was based upon that previously developed and used in hydrogeologic reports in support of non -discharge permits for sites in similar geologic and hydrologic settings. Field data collected by Eagle Resources and by S&ME substantiate this model. At the time of field investigations in November 2005, over 20 feet of unsaturated material is present beneath the irrigation field above the PWR. The material above the PWR is at least 25 and as much as 35 feet deep beneath the sprayfields based upon depths to refusal in 8 GeoprobeTM borings. A three-dimensional groundwater flow model has been constructed and successfully tested against available measured groundwater level measurements. The simulated groundwater flow patterns are consistent with the conceptual model. Consequently the model can reliably be used to assess the likely average water table configuration and depth to water table under conditions where irrigation is applied to the existing and expanded drip irrigation area. Initial hydraulic conductivity values used in the simulation model are based upon field tests, and an acceptable model calibration was achieved by increasing the initial estimates by a factor of 10. Model values of hydraulic conductivity are typically are 10 to 20 times larger than values determined by slug tests in small diameter wells or piezometer because of the effects of fractures and higher permeability weathered zones. Recharge under pre - irrigation conditions was not adjusted during model calibration, but was set at 50% of the normal expected values because of the documented extended drought conditions in the region. Based upon the results of this study, the recommended drainage rate beneath the drip irrigation area to minimize the likelihood of the permanent watertable rising to within three feet of the land surface is 3.0 inches/month. The S&ME water balance was revised using this lower drainage value and is included as Attachment D to this report. The resultant wet weather storage requirements are essentially the same as in the S&ME water balance. The recommended average annual hydraulic loading rate,from the revised water balance is 37.33 inches/year, compared to the 40.27 inches per year in the revised S&ME water balance using 34.7 acres of application area. 33 2.1.1.4. Precipitation on and Evaporation from Storage Reservoir Surfaces The wet -weather storage reservoir and the required five-day upset pond will be constructed such that no surface drainage will occur into them. However, the water balance requires the accounting of precipitation falling on the maximum area of these reservoirs and of evaporation from the free water surface in the reservoirs when they contain reclaimed water. The combined surface area used for the wet weather storage reservoirs is estimated at 1.05 acres based upon drawings provided by Piedmont Design Associates. 2.1.2. Soils and Drainage (GWQ) for Water Balance As discussed in the Hydrogeologic Report, the recommended drainage rate to minimize the likelihood of the permanent watertable rising to within three feet of the land surface is 3.0 inches/month. The initial water balance prepared by S&ME used 5.25 inches/month. 2.1.3. Design Reclaimed Water Discharge The design flow rate of 75,000 gallons per day was provided by S&ME (Appendix III). 2.2. Monthly Water Balance Analysis The revised convergent wet weather storage requirement calculation for Sunset Pointe is included at the end of this Attachment. The wet weather storage requirements are 4.1 million gallons (N4Gal) or 54 days for a design flow of 75,000 gpd. The revised average annual hydraulic loading rate is 37.33 inches per year, which is slightly less than the 40.27 inches per year in the S&ME water balance. 3. Conclusions This report presents a revised monthly water balance analysis used to design wet weather storage for the Sunset Pointe reclaimed water and irrigation system. The storage analysis is based upon the 80th percentile wettest condition (combination of precipitation minus losses from evapotranspiration, runoff, and drainage to groundwater). The revised water balance used a drainage rate of 3.0 inches per month instead of the 5.25 inches per month used in the initial water balance by S&ME. The wet weather storage requirements are 4.1 million gallons (Mal) or 54 days for a design flow of 75,000 gpd. This is slightly less than the 4.2 MGal or 57 days reported in Appendix III of the S&ME report. The revised average annual hydraulic loading rate is 37.33 inches per year, which is slightly less than the 40.27 inches per year in the revised S&ME water balance using a wetted area of 34.7 acres. 46 A OI O �o ry (O N ry nmm�mm�m O V; m m 0 tp m nm O min Q W m O nM m W nmM�mm�m O Q m 0 V7 m O O N r N in Q N 0 O r N M V N O m m m Q Q u) m W m r m r m O m Q Q u7 m W m r m r i7 m Q Q uJ N W 2 ❑ GGGGO m W m n O Q m r N W r O Q ¢f r N m O V 00 r N W r 2 d Q N M N m LOP n Q N N O l0 Q m m W m m N m n M ul n N O O> m m N W n M -1 n N O g m m N O. . .

Introduction The wastewater treatment and reclaimed water land application system for Sunset Pointe is located south of Long Ferry Road and West of Goodman Lake Road in northwestern Rowan County, North Carolina (Figure 1). Wastewater from'the Sunset Pointe Waste Water Treatment Plant will be treated to North Carolina reclaimed water reuse standards as set forth in 15A NCAC 2H .0200. As an integrated part of the treatment system the reclaimed wastewater will be used to irrigate the approximately 37 acres of mixed pine and deciduous forest using a drip irrigation system. The Sunset Pointe wastewater treatment and drip irrigation system will be permitted as a non -discharge facility under 15A NCAC 2H .0200. This work was performed by Eagle Resources, P.A. under contract to High Rock Development, LLC. 1.1. Purpose This hydrogeologic study has been completed in support of the non -discharge permit as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0200, and conforms to the criteria outlined in 15A NCAC 2H .0205(d)(5)(E) . and 15A NCAC 2H .0205(d)(5)(F). The purpose of the hydrogeologic study is to provide the necessary information and analyses to document the occurrence and movement of groundwater beneath and in the vicinity of the planned drip irrigation area to assess the potential for development of shallow water table conditions. The hydrogeologic study provided information and analyses that was used in conjunction with the results of the Soils Report (S&ME, 2005) and site development constraints provided by Piedmont Design Associates, P.A. to document the hydrogeologic system and to assess the likely depth to water table beneath the drip irrigation area. 1.2. DisdaiMer Some analyses contained in this report relied upon data and information provided by others.

S. . Field Investigation Field investigations were conducted for the drip irrigation area to assess hydrologic and hydrogeologic conditions, to gather data to support the conceptual and numeric groundwater now models, and to confirm the presence of water supply wells within 500 feet of the sprayfield boundaries. 5. 1. Test Borings To obtain additional subsurface information beneath the drip irrigation area ten (10) GeoprobeTM borings were installed by Protocol Sampling Services under subcontract to Eagle Resources. All borings were taken to refusal at depths ranging from 25 to 35 feet. Cores were continuously taken in 4-foot intervals in 1.5 inch diameter clear plastic sleeves and were logged in the field to determine lithology; conditions of saturation, and evidence of secondary permeability features such as root holes or fractures. Logs of the borings are included in Attachment B. Boring locations were determined by Eagle Resources using GPS (7-10 ft accuracy). 5.2. Piezometers To obtain information on the likely depth to the shallow water table beneath the Sunset Pointe drip irrigation area, the ten GeoprobeTM borings were completed by Protocol Sampling Services under subcontract to Eagle Resources as piezometers using one -inch diameter PVC plastic casing and one - inch diameter PVC well screens. The well screen length was 10 feet for all wells except MW-3 which had a screen length of 3 feet. The locations of the piezometers and borings are shown on Figure 3 and the construction details are summarized in Table 1. Elevations of the ground surface at the piezometers was determined from a 10-ft x 10-ft digital elevation model constructed using ArcGIS and the Rowan County NC Department of Transportation 2-ft topographic contour digital maps. Distance from ground surface to the measuring point for water levels was determined with a measuring tape. 7 ea* & ara.5 Table 1. Summary of Construction Details for Piezometers. .

Water Level Measurements Water level measurements in the piezometers were completed immediately prior to conducting slug tests in the piezometers in November 2005. Only three of the piezometers contained water at the time of the measurement. The water level measurements are included in Table 3. These measurements were used to establish the likely depth to the water table in the potential sprayfield areas, and to constrain the numerical groundwater flow model within the property boundaries.

Hydraulic Conductivity Tests in Piezometers Hydraulic conductivity tests were conducted in the three (3) piezometers that were completed below the water table using slug tests. The slug tests were conducted by rapidly injecting a known volume of water in the piezometer and measuring the water level response with a down -hole pressure transducer and datalogger (Solinst"m Levelogger). The results were analyzed using the Cooper- Bredehoeft - Papadopolus (C-B-P) Method (Reference 2.) The results are summarized in Table 4 and the analysis plots are included in Attachment C, As documented in the Soil Scientist Evaluation Report for Sunset Pointe, S&ME conducted four (4) tests of the saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) of the site soils to depths of 1.33 and 1.92 feet (S&ME 2005). The results of these tests are included in Table 4. The geometric mean value of all Ksat values from the S&ME tests is approximately 0.4 ft/.day and the geometric mean of the slug tests in piezometers is approximately 0.2 ft/day.

Data Analysis and Modeling This section documents the development of the conceptual hydrogeologic model for the areas surrounding and including drip irrigation area areas, and the construction and application of quantitative simulation models of groundwater flow to confirm the conceptual model. The boundaries of the conceptual model used as the framework for the groundwater flow model were taken as topographic drainage divides from a 10-ft x 10-ft digital elevation model (DEM) grid constructed from the NC DOT Rowan County 2-ft topographic contours using ARCGIS/XTools. The modeled area covers 1.12 square miles (720 acres) centered on the drip irrigation area as shown in Figure 1. 7. 1. Conceptual Model The conceptual model of the physiography, geology, and hydrogeology of the area is based upon regional studies and information, supplemented by site -specific information from field investigations. 7.1.1. Physiography and Hydrology The drip irrigation area and the surrounding area are located in the central portion of the Piedmont Physiographic Province of North Carolina. Based upon topography from the Rowan County GIS website, and on site investigations by Eagle Resources, the site comprises rolling hills that are dissected by narrow v-shaped swales, and ephemeral and perennial streams. All of the property within the model area drains to the Crane Creek arm of High Rock Lake (Figure 1). Local topography was analyzed using a 10-ft x 10-ft digital elevation model (DEM) prepared from LIDAR data as provided, by the N.C. Department of Transportation. shows that slopes along ridges are generally less than 10 percent and that valley slopes above some streams is greater than 10 percent. 12 take &aMes 7.1.2. Geology and Solis The area containing the drip irrigation area is situated in the eastern part of the Charlotte litho tectonic belt. The site is underlain by metamorphic, inter -bedded felsic to mafic tuffs and flow -rock (NC Geological Survey, 1985). No faults mapped on the state geologic map are present within the study area. The closest mapped fault is located approximately 3.3 miles southeast of the site and strikes North - Northeast along the boundary between the Charlotte and Carolina Slate belts. No intrusive dikes have been mapped in the project area, although such features are present southeast of the site and southeast of the nearest fault mentioned above. 7.1.2.1. Stratigraphy The conceptual model of the area including the drip irrigation area divides the subsurface into three zones based upon regional and local published studies: Soils and Saprolite, Partially Weathered Rock, and Fractured Bedrock. The occurrence and characteristics of these zones were confirmed using the results of cores from geoprobe soundings and regional geologic and hydrogeologic studies (LeGrand, 1988). 7.1.2.1.1. Soils and Saprolite Soils in the study area have been mapped by S&ME (2005) and by the National Resources Conservation Service (MRCS, 1977). The NRCS map units for this study were taken from an unpublished digital map prepared as part of a NCDENR state-wide project to estimate groundwater :recharge from precipitation, soils, and topographic position (Walt Haven, NCDENR, personal communication, 2004). Detailed field soil mapping in the areas proposed for drip irrigation area has been done by S&ME under contract to High Rock Development LLC. This field mapping and testing included 29 soil borings installed to depths ranging from 45 to 72 inches and 4 shallow hydraulic conductivity tests (Table 4). The location of the soil borings and Ksat tests were determined by GPS by S&EC and are shown in Figure 3. The soils characteristics and irrigation potential are summarized in the S&ME Soils Report for Sunset Pointe (S&ME, 2005). The bottom of the soil and saprolite zone is taken as the depth of refusal in geoprobe soundings which ranged from 25 to 35 feet. As shown in Table 2, the average and median depths are both 30 feet. Based. upon this value, the average thickness of the soil and saprolite zone . in the conceptual model is taken as 30 feet. 13 Iraye PeMM-1..5 7.1.2.1.2. Partially weathered rock (PWR) PWR is often referred to as the transition zone between soil and the parent bedrock, and often exhibits the same properties as saprolitic soils but with higher occurrence of rock and rock fragments. Based upon studies in similar Piedmont sites, the thickness of the PWR in the conceptual model was taken as 15 feet. 7.1.2.1.3. Fractured Bedrock Bedrock in the conceptual model area typically is comprised of meta -igneous rocks with a high degree of fractures near the interface of PWR and bedrock. Joints and fractures are common and dissipate with depth while voids and vugs are common in shallow rock zones when weak exfoliation soil zones are encountered near PWR. Fractures that approximately parallel the land surface are found with depth and are the result of stress relief as a result of the removal of several thousand feet of material that has been eroded since the granite intrusion (LeGrand, 1988) 7.1.2.1.4. Lineament Analysis To assess the potential for the presence of fracture zones in the bedrock, a topographic and lineament analysis was conducted. This analysis identified linear segments of surface drainage and topographic features such as ridges and valleys (Figure 4). The topographic features were examined by hillshade analysis of the digital elevation model (DEM) created from the NC DOT 2-ft topographic contours for Rowan County using ARCGIS/Spatial AnalystTM. Several northern trending linear features are evident on Figure 4. These features may represent zones where the granitic bedrock is more fractured along drainages, and more resistant to erosion along ridges. However, no zones of higher permeability in the bedrock were included in the numerical model discussed in subsequent sections of this report. 14 � Location Ma �F v..

Hydrogeology The conceptual geologic model described in the previous section was used to construct the conceptual and numerical hydrogeologic models for this study. 7.1.3.1. Hydrostratigraphy For purposes of developing the conceptual model of groundwater flow in the study area, the following three hydrostratigraphic units were defined: • Layer 1: Soil and Saprolite and Alluvium along local streams; • Layer 2: Partially Weathered Rock; and • Layer 3: Un-weathered Fractured Bedrock. These units were used to construct the groundwater flow model described in the next section of this report. These units are the same as those that have been used in similar conceptual and numerical models of groundwater flow in areas underlain by acid crystalline rocks in the eastern Piedmont (Eagle Resources, 2003, 2004, 2005) 7.1.I LL Layer]: Soil and Saprolite Layer 1 comprises the material from the land surface to a depth of 30 feet. The 30-foot depth is based upon the mean and median depth of refusal in the GeoprobeTM soundings (Table 2). The top of Layer 1 is the land surface, and the base of Layer 1 is the surface that is everywhere 30 feet below the land surface. The hydraulic conductivity of Layer 1 was assigned an initial isotropic value equal to 0.4 ft/day based upon the results of slug tests in piezometers and Ksat tests (Table 4 and Attachment Q. As described in subsequent sections, as the result of model calibration and sensitivity analysis, this value was increased to 2.7 ft/day in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The hydraulic conductivity of the Layer 1 was assumed to be uniform and isotropic. Sensitivity to anisotropy was tested with sensitivity analyses as discussed in section 7.2.3. 7.L3.1.2. Layer 2. Partially Weathered Rock Layer 2 comprises the weathered bedrock from 30 feet below the land surface to a depth of 45 feet below the land surface. This depth was based upon analysis of the depth that surface casing is set in water supply wells within the model boundary for which information was available. The hydraulic conductivity of Layer 2 was assigned an initial value of 0.4 ft/day, or the same initial value assigned to Layer 1. This value was increased to 2.7 ft/day as a result of model calibration and sensitivity analyses. The hydraulic conductivity of the PWR was assumed to be uniform and isotropic. Sensitivity to anisotropy was tested with sensitivity analyses as discussed in section 7.2.3. 16 ) 4eA Ma-cee 7.L3.L3. Layer 3: Fractured Granitic Bedrock Layer 3 comprises unweathered bedrock that'extends from a depth of 45 feet below land surface to a depth of approximately 250 feet below land surface feet. The depth to the bottom of this layer in the conceptual model is arbitrary, but is deep enough to include the depth to which water wells are typically completed in the vicinity of the site. Layer 3 is assumed'to contain fractures and joints that are ubiquitously distributed throughout its thickness, and that these fractures and joints can be considered an `equivalent porous medium' for purposes of groundwater modeling. No attempt was made to include zones where fractures may be more prevalent, although these are likely to be more common in stream valleys (LeGrand, 1988). The hydraulic conductivity of Layer 3 was assigned an initial value of 0.001 May. This value was increased to 0.0025 ft per day based upon model calibration. The hydraulic conductivity of the bedrock was assumed to be uniform and isotropic. Sensitivity to anisotropy was tested with sensitivity analyses as discussed in section 7.2.3. 7.1.4. Recharge to Groundwater The conceptual model includes recharge everywhere to the groundwater system from infiltration of precipitation in excess of vegetation demands during periods when the soil moisture reservoir cannot retain water against the force of gravity. Additional localized recharge also likely occurs by infiltration of water in the upper reaches of drainages where the bedrock hydraulic conductivity may be greater as a result of concentrated joint sets and fractures. Quantification of recharge to groundwater is necessary to balance groundwater flow and discharge to streams, wetlands, springs, and water supply wells. Because it is not possible to directly measure recharge, it must be estimated and/or determined by calibration of a groundwater flow model. Experience in the eastern Piedmont and other areas of North Carolina has shown that the best method to estimate recharge to groundwater under non -irrigation and irrigation conditions is by the use of physically based climate -soil -vegetation water balance model. NCDENR has completed the detailed mapping of estimated groundwater recharge using such a water balance approach that uses precipitation, soil characteristics, and landscape position for .most of the counties in North. Carolina, including Rowan County (Walt Haven, personal communication, 2004). Previous approaches to estimating groundwater recharge in numerical flow models in the Piedmont of North Carolina by Eagle Resources have used simulation with the USDA Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) applied to long-term climatic records and a daily water balance. A comparison of recharge computed using SWAT to the NCDENR values for several of these previous study areas in the piedmont showed that the NCDENR values were approximately equal to the long term average values computed using SWAT for the same soils. Consequently, the NCDENR recharge values were used for this study for recharge under non - irrigated conditions. Figure 5 .shows the average annual recharge rates for the two categories of landscape and soil groupings used by DENR for the modeled area. Areas of groundwater discharge along stream valleys and areas of standing water are assigned zero recharge rates. 17 take&arw5 The recharge values shown in Figure 5 represent average climatic conditions. However the region that includes the project area has been undergoing a prolonged drought. During November when field investigations at the site were conducted, Rowan County was classified as being in moderate drought condition (btlp://www.ncdrought.or ). August to October precipitation in the study area was approximately 50% less than normal (http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.goy/products/analysis monitorin regional monitorin 3monthuspct pc . i . To account for the effect of the drought conditions on water levels in the model, the initial values of recharge used were 50% of those reported by DENR for average conditions. The values in Figure 5 were simplified for purposes of the groundwater model by averaging the values for the gentle and moderate slopes. For normal climatic conditions, this average is 8.4 inches per year, and for drought conditions that preceded November 2005, the average is 4.2 inches per year. Recharge from drip irrigation in excess of plant demands for purposes of groundwater modeling was initially set to the 5.25 inches per month used for the drainage rate in the water balance study for the site (S&ME, 2005). Model calibration runs did not include recharge from irrigation. As discussed subsequently, irrigation recharge was reduced to 3.0 inches per month to minimize the potential to develop water tables that would be less than three feet from the land surface. 18 Explanation Average Annual Recharge 0 0 0 7.1 in/yr - 0 9.8 in/yr Irrigation Area --------- 0 Property Boundary Model Boundary w > 0 500 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 Il \ Feei�. -1 ) Sunset Pointe Irmgation Area Average Annual Recharge Under Normal Climatic Conditions. ply Source: NC DENR umpublished report.

Discharge from Groundwater Groundwater discharges to the lower reaches of drainages during times of high water levels following extended periods of precipitation. Groundwater also may discharge in these areas after following fracture zones that are coincident with linear portions of drainage features. Groundwater discharge by evapotranspiration where the water table is shallow was not included in the model because field observations and analysis of reported static water levels showed that in general, the water table is always deeper than 5 to 10 feet. This is deeper than vegetation in the area can extract significant quantities of groundwater. Discharge by evapotranspiration in wetland and stream bottom areas is included in the simulated discharge to surface water drainage. Discharge by water supply wells was included in the model by assuming that a well is located at each symbol designating a structure on Figure 3, and that all such wells pump at a constant rate of 390 gallons per day (gpd) (130 gpd/bedroom x 3 bedrooms/structure). All wells were assumed to be completed in the bedrock and PWR units (Layers 2 and 3) to a total depth of 250 ft below land surface. These wells were included in the models both for calibration runs and for the depth to water analyses. P1 7.1.6. Water Levels and Flow Directions Based upon experience in similar hydrogeologic systems, the configuration of the water table in the conceptual model is assumed to be principally controlled by topography (Toth, 1963). Seasonal perched water tables may occur locally where fine-grained soils exist, but the zone of permanent saturation occurs begins in the lower part of the saprolite and lower units. Based upon the results of GeoprobeTM borings and field water level measurements in piezometers in November 2005, the water table beneath upland areas occurs at depths of greater than approximately 20 feet. Six of the piezometers were dry following installation and no wet zones were encountered during boring installation, indicating that the water table during extended periods of low precipitation is below the top of the P WR. There is not a sufficient density of piezometers wells to prepare observed potentiometric maps for the site. The best representation of the configuration of the water table and groundwater flow directions results from simulation with a calibrated groundwater flow model that can be shown to replicate observed water levels at available measurement points. Figure 10 shows the simulated steady state water table computed with the calibrated groundwater flow model. 7.2. Groundwater Flow Model To assess the reasonableness of the conceptual hydrogeologic model for the area that includes the Sunset Pointe property,' and to assess the likely depth to the water table under the drip irrigation area under full irrigation conditions, a three-dimensional groundwater flow model was constructed. The lateral boundary of this model is shown on Figure 1. All model calibration and analysis runs utilized steady state conditions. 7.2.1. Purpose The groundwater flow model was constructed for the following purposes: • To assess the reasonableness of the conceptual model for the area by generation of steady state expected water table configurations in and around the Sunset Pointe property; and To assess areas of proposed drip irrigation area where the depth to the water table under design application rates may be less than two (3) feet. 7.2.2. Model Construction The model was constructed using MODFLOW, a public domain computer code developed and maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey. The model was constructed, run, and the output evaluated using the Groundwater Modeling System (GMSTM) which is a commercial modeling shell constructed for the U.S. Department of Defense by the Environmental Modeling Systems Laboratory at Brigham Young University and distributed and maintained by Ems-i. 21 The project database and GIS were used to facilitate both the preparation of datasets for the groundwater flow models and to analyze output from the models. All maps included in this report have been prepared using the project GIS and the integrated GIS capabilities of GMS. Figure 6 shows the sources of data used to construct the necessary datasets for the groundwater flow models. 7.2.2.1. Computational Grid The model was constructed by assigning values of the parameters described in the following sections to a finite -difference computational grid. A uniform 50 ft x 50 ft finite difference grid comprising 321 rows and 396 columns was used to cover the modeled area. The vertical boundaries of the three layers in the conceptual model were assigned by using the elevation surfaces of the top of each a described in the conceptual model. Figure 7 shows the configuration of the layer surfaces along representative west -to -east and south to north sections. 22 NC DOT.

The elevations of the drains were assigned to be 4 feet below .the average elevation of the land surface for each cell. The 4 feet elevation difference was based upon field reconnaissance to assess the degree to which streams were incised below the surrounding topography. This boundary condition allows water to drain from the system via surface drainage if and when the water table rises to the level of the drain. Drain conductance was set to a value of 1 ft2/day/ft to assure adequate hydraulic connection between drains and the groundwater system. Sensitivity analyses were used to assess the importance of drain conductance as discussed in Section 7.2.3. No -flow boundaries were assigned to all external model boundaries because these boundaries were selected to coincide with topographic boundaries, which have been found to generally coincide with groundwater flow divides. A no flow boundary condition was assigned to the bottom of Layer 3. Figure 8 shows Boundary Conditions used for the groundwater flow model. High Rock Lake and the two upland ponds shown on Figure 8 were simulated using the River boundary condition. The water level for the river boundary condition for High Rock Lake was set at the mean pool elevation of 624 feet (U.S.G.S Southmont 7.5 minute Quadrangle). The bottom elevation of High Rock Lake was set at a constant elevation of 615 feet, and the bottom conductance was set at 10 ft /day/ft. The water level for the upland ponds was set at the elevation determined from the DEM discussed previously. The bottom elevations for the upland ponds was set at 4 feet below the water level, and the bottom conductance was set at 10 ft2/day/ft. The existing wastewater treatment system includes a wet weather storage reservoir that occupies approximately 1.05 acres and is excavated to a depth of approximately 10 to 15 ft below grade (DWG_to_Grid.dwg , Peidmont Development Associates, personal communication, 2005). Because this reservoir is assumed to include a very low permeability liner this reservoir was not included in the groundwater model. 25 Sunset Pointe Groundwater Model Boundary Conditions for Layer 1.

Recharge and Discharge The initial rate of steady state recharge applied was a constant rate of 8.4 inches per year. As discussed in the conceptual model section, this rate was reduced by 50% to 4.2 inches per year for model calibration because of the effect of the current drought conditions in the region, and as a result of sensitivity analyses. Analyses to assess the potential for the development of a water table shallower than three feet used a recharge rate of 8.4 inches per year for all areas not occupied by the drip irrigation system. Discharge from water wells within the model boundary that are assumed to supply individual residences within the modeled area was simulated using a steady state discharge of 390 gallons/day/well. This rate is considered conservative, and it is not known if all residences are serviced by an individual well. Private well pumpage was included to demonstrate that the effect of such wells, if they exist on the flow field affected by the irrigation area is not insignificant: 7.2.3. Model Calibration and Sensitivity Analysis The model. was calibrated by comparing the simulated steady state head to the available water levels measured .on November 28, 2005 in the piezometers as shown in Table 3. The only parameter that was varied in the model calibration was the. hydraulic conductivity of layers 1, 2, and 3. A combination of manual calibration and least squares fitting using the Parameter Estimation (PEST) component of GMSTM was used to achieve an acceptable degree of fit between simulated and observed water levels as measured by a visual plot of one versus the other and multiple statistical measures as shown in Figure 9. The depths of the five dry piezometers are also included in Figure 8 to illustrate that the simulated water level at these locations is a an elevation lower than the top of the PWR. The hydraulic conductivity for layers 1 and 2 was increased to 2.7 ft/day and the hydraulic conductivity of Layer 3 was increased to 0.0025 ft/day from the initial estimated values to achieve an acceptable fit. These increases are considered reasonable because values of hydraulic conductivity at the scale used for the model grid are typically 5 to 10 times larger than values determined by slug tests in small diameter wells or piezometer because of the effects of fractures and higher permeability weathered zones. Figure 10 shows the calibrated water table elevation for the modeled area. Sensitivity analyses were performed to demonstrate the effect on the goodness of fit to ranges in parameters varied during model calibration and to varying rates of recharge. Table 5 documents the results of these analyses. The cells highlighted in cyan in Table 5 show the value of the parameter varied during each sensitivity run while holding other parameters constant. 27 We pB--IzIr -5 Figure 9. -- Calibration Statistics. 672 670 668 p 666 :Z: V 664 LL G9 662 J d 660 658 CL E.

Groundwater Flow Model Application The calibrated flow model was used to assess the potential for the development of water conditions at depths less than three feet. 7.3.1. Simulated depth to water beneath drip irrigation area The groundwater model was used to assess the likely depth to water beneath drip irrigation area. The requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0200 require the water table beneath drip irrigation area to at all times be greater than one foot, and if between one and 3 feet, that a demonstration be made that groundwater quality is not _or will not be adversely affected. Initial. recharge under the drip irrigation area was simulated by applying the average annual drainage rate of 5.25 inches/month in/week from the S&ME water balance model. The average recharge rate applied outside the drip irrigation area was equal to the average annual rate under normal climatic conditions of 8.4 inches/year (0.16 inches/week) discussed in section 7.1.4. All groundwater model analyses were steady state (non time - varying). The initial recharge rate under the drip irrigation area resulted in significant portions of the area having a water table shallower than 3 feet. Consequently, the recharge rate was reduced in the irrigation area until only one small area remained with a simulated depth to the watertable between 2 and 3 feet as shown in Figure 10. 7.3.2. Revised Water Balance As discussed in the previous section, recommended drainage rate to minimize the likelihood of the permanent watertable rising to within three feet of the land surface is 3.0 inches/month. The initial water balance prepared by S&ME used 5.25 inches/month. Consequently, the water balance was revised using this lower drainage value. The revision is included as Attachment D to this report. Using assumptions and approaches in the revised water balance that have been used as part of multiple previously approved non -discharge permit applications, the resultant wet weather storage requirements are essentially the same as in the S&ME water balance. The recommended average annual hydraulic loading rate from the revised water balance is 40.0 inches/year, compared to the 44.03 inches per year in Appendix III of the S&ME report. 31 r 69" ZA 6886 CO ory i _l" � 6aa E `' \ �E� T j c° - CO CO j\ CP .••6'� , Gj1 Explanations>4 _ v Depth to Water, Ft — Less than 2 2 to 3 0 3to10 i Greater than 10 1 �t Watertable Elevation Ft NGVD s 6 w E 672 \ Irrigation Area Property Boundary Q ' COI 6 (6 N 638 �`�° l`' 0 125 250 500 750 1, 000 I r 636�?

Conclusions A defensible conceptual hydrogeologic model of the areas including the proposed drip irrigation area has been constructed using available information from public domain sources, field investigations, and tests by S&ME. The conceptual model developed of subsurface geology and hydrogeology was based upon that previously developed and used in hydrogeologic reports in support of non -discharge permits for sites in similar geologic and hydrologic settings. Field data collected by Eagle Resources and by S&ME substantiate this model. At the time of field investigations in November 2005, over 20 feet of unsaturated material is present beneath the irrigation field above the PWR. The material above the PWR is at least 25 and as much as 35 feet deep beneath the sprayfields based upon depths to refusal in 8 GeoprobeTM borings. A three-dimensional groundwater flow model has been constructed and successfully tested against available measured groundwater level measurements. ' The simulated groundwater flow patterns are consistent with the conceptual model. Consequently the model can reliably be used to assess the likely average water table configuration and depth to water table under conditions where irrigation is applied to the existing and expanded drip irrigation area. Initial hydraulic conductivity values used in the simulation model are based upon field 'tests, and an acceptable model calibration was achieved by increasing the initial estimates by a factor of 10. Model values of hydraulic conductivity are typically are 10 to 20 times larger than values determined by slug tests in small diameter wells or piezometer because of the effects of fractures and higher permeability weathered zones. Recharge under pre - irrigation conditions was not adjusted during model calibration, but was set at 50% of the normal expected values because of the documented extended drought conditions in the region. Based upon the results of this study, the recommended drainage rate beneath the drip irrigation area to minimize the likelihood of the permanent watertable rising to within three feet of the land surface is 3.0 inches/month. The S&ME water balance was revised using this lower drainage value and is included as Attachment D, to this report. The resultant wet weather storage requirements are essentially the same as in the S&ME water balance. The recommended average annual hydraulic loading rate from the revised water balance is 40.0 inches/year, compared to the 44.03 inches per year in Appendix III of the S&ME report.

Introduction This water balance report updates the water balance report prepared by Soil and Material Engineers (S&ME) for the Sunset Pointe development (S&ME, 2005) This work was performed by Eagle Resources, P.A. under contract to High Rock Lake Development, LLC. 1.1. Purpose This water, balance study has been completed in support of the non -discharge permit as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0200, and conforms to the criteria outlined in 15A NCAC 2H .0219(k)(1)(A)(vii) for reclaimed water. The purpose of the water balance study is to provide recommended volume for storage of reclaimed water when irrigation is not possible or desirable during wet weather periods and the recommended hydraulic loading rates based upon the hydraulic characteristics of sprayfield soils. 1.2. Disclaimer Some analyses contained in this report relied upon soils and other data and information provided by others. Eagle Resources P.A. makes no representations regarding the completeness, accuracy and reliability of that data and information. 2.. Data Sources The following data sources were used for this report: • S&ME, September 2005, Soil Scientist/Agronomist Report Proposed Sunset Pointe Development Reclaimed Water Irrigation Systems, Rowan County, NC. • Eagle Resources, 2005. Hydrogeologic Study for Sunset Pointe at High Rock Lake. • Site layout draft drawings provided by Piedmont Design Associates. • Wet -weather storage reservoir surface 'areas and design volumes from drawings provided by S&ME. • Projected reclaimed water flows provided by S&ME. • Daily station climatic data including precipitation, evaporation, , snowfall, minimum and maximum air temperature, and solar radiation for the Greensboro - Piedmont -Triad Airport climatic station located 38 mules north of the site, period of record used: January 1930 through December 2004. 43 4aje A!siarces Precipitation data used by S&ME was used for the revised water balance. However, the revised water balance accounted for surface runoff and used the Preistley-Taylor equation to compute Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) as discussed below. 2. 1. Water Balance Equations Water balance calculations were performed using the following equation: St = St-1 + [ Inflowt ] - [ Outflowt ]; or St=Sw+[Qt *at,+AR. PCPs/12]—[IA+AR.EVPt /12] (1) Where: St = Storage required at the end of month t, Ac-Ft; St-1 = Storage required at end of previous month, Ac-Ft; AR = Surface area of area draining to all storage cells, Ac; PCPt Precipitation during month t, inches; Qt = Flow of reclaimed water, Ac-Ft/day; At = time between month t and t- 1, in days = no of days for each month; IA = Allowable irrigation during month, ac-ft = Ax * [(PETt *CCt ) + SROt + GWQxt - PCPt] / 12; Ax = Total sprayfield area, acres; EVPt = Evaporation from free water surface during month t = 0.6 * PET, PETt = Potential Evapotranspiration for month t, inches; CCt = Crop Coefficient for month t, = 0.80 for all months; SROt = Surface Runoff for month t, inches; and GWQxt = Drainage to groundwater for Soil Area x during month t, inches. 1 a) inches; Equation 1 was solved using Microsoft Excel® spreadsheet with at least two annual cycles that demonstrated a convergent solution to wet weather storage requirements. 2.1.1. Climate and Runoff Data for Water Balance Climatic data from the Greensboro -Piedmont -Triad airport climatic station was used the water balance. J 2.1.1.1. Precipitation (PCP) Monthly precipitation was taken from the Appendix III of the S&ME Report. 2.1.1.2. Surface Runoff (SRO) Because the precipitation used, for the. wet weather storage water balance calculations uses the 80"' percent wettest condition, the surface runoff used should also reflect the 8011' percent wettest condition. Consequently, the average monthly surface runoff values were computed using 20% of the monthly 80a' percentile wettest precipitation discussed above. 44 This value is conservative compared to measured rainfall runoff ratios for North Carolina watersheds published by Lu, et.al, (2003, Table 1, p. 889). Table 1 shows values for three Piedmont watersheds in North Carolina. Watershed Area Forest Cover Years of Hydrology Data Rainfall Runoff Runoff to Rainfall Ratio mil % in/yr in/yr Eno River 141.0 72.8 27 47.8 12.5 0.26 Flat River 149.0 69.1 30 44.2 13.0 0.30 Drown CreekI T_7_7 1 190.7 74.41 301 46.6 18.9 0.41 L au1u 1.-- s, zui-icunorr mauos for worm uarolma Piedmont Watersheds (after Lu et.al, 2003). 2.1.1.3. Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) PET was calculated using the Priestly -Taylor equation which is a simplification of the Penman energy balance equation. The Penman Equation accounts for the balance between radiant and sensible heat and the loss of latent heat by advection (wind). The Priestly -Taylor equation modifies the Penman equation by ignoring the advective term and by multiplying the remaining energy term by constant (aPET = 1.28) to estimate Ep from climatic data for conditions when the general surroundings are wet or humid: PET = .CEP = aPET S (Rn — G). S+y Where A = latent heat of vaporization of water, Ep = potential water vapor flux density, s = slope of the saturation vapor density curve, y = thermodynamic psychrometric constant, R„ = net radiative flux density, and G = sensible soil heat flux density. By ignoring the advective (wind) term in the Penman equation, and using aPET, to account for humid conditions expected in sprayfield environments present in in- frequently mowed grass and mixed forests, the Priestly -Taylor Equation is the most applicable to the Sunset Pointe project for purposes of computing the water balance. Several recent publications support the use of the Priestly -Taylor Equation for sites in North Carolina, and in particular, the Piedmont area. The North Carolina State Climate Office maintains the on-line CRONOS database to assist the agricultural industry in determining Potential ET using hourly and daily data collected at stations throughout North Carolina. This agency uses both the Penman - Monteith and the Priestly -Taylor equations to compute PET. Puryear, et.al. (2004) concluded that the Priestly -Taylor equation best represented measured PET values when using data sites across North Carolina. Lu, et.al. (2003) concluded in a study 4 39 watersheds across the southeastern US, including 12 in North Carolina that " ...the Priestley and . Taylor [sic], Turc, and Hamon methods had the highest potential for regional applications in the southeastern United States." 45 tie a5a rce5 2.1.1.4. Precipitation on and Evaporation from Storage Reservoir Surfaces The wet -weather storage reservoir and the required five-day upset pond will be constructed such that no surface drainage will occur into them: However, the water balance requires the accounting of precipitation falling on the maximum area of these reservoirs and of evaporation from the free water surface in the reservoirs when they contain reclaimed water. The combined surface area used for the wet weather storage reservoirs is estimated at 1.05 acres based upon drawings provided by Piedmont Design Associates. 2.1.2. Soils and Drainage (GWQ) for Water Balance - As discussed in the Hydrogeologic Report, the recommended drainage rate to minimize the likelihood of the permanent watertabie rising to within three feet of the land surface is 3.0 inches/month. The initial water balance prepared by S&ME used 5.25 inches/month. 2.1.3. Design Reclaimed Water Discharge The design flow rate of 75,000 gallons per day was provided by S&ME (Appendix III). 2.2. Monthly Water Balance Analysis The revised convergent wet weather storage requirement calculation for Sunset Pointe is included at the end of this Attachment. The wet weather storage requirements are 3.7 million gallons (MGal) or 49 days for a design flow of 75;000 gpd. The revised average annual hydraulic loading rate is 37.33 inches per year, which is slightly less than the 40.27 inches per year in the S&ME water balance. 3. Conclusions This report presents a revised monthly water balance analysis used to design wet weather storage for the Sunset Pointe reclaimed water and irrigation system. The storage analysis is based upon the 80d' percentile wettest condition (combination of precipitation minus losses from evapotranspiration, runoff, and drainage to groundwater). The revised water balance used a drainage rate of 3.0 inches per month instead of the 5.25 inches per month used in the initial water balance by S&ME. The wet weather storage requirements are 3.7 million gallons (N4Gal) or 49 days for a design flow of 75,000 gpd. This is slightly less than the 3.9 MGal or 52 days reported in Appendix III of the S&ME report. The revised average annual hydraulic loading rate is 37.33 inches per year, which is slightly less than the 40.27 inches per year in the S&ME water balance. 46 References 1.

Sunset Pointe WWTP facility Subject: Sunset Pointe WWTP facility From: tb@tcwwastewater.com Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2008 08:57:31 -0700 To: "Dan Fisher" <dfisher814@aol.com> CC: "Peggy Finley" <peggy.finley@ncmail.net>, "Donald Munday" <dmunday@pdapa.com> Hey Dan, As I mentioned to you last week, I was going to be with Peggy Finley, DWQ regional specialist, and Donald Munday, Piedmont Design, at another treatment facility this past Monday. We discussed her visit and inspection to Sunset Pointe. You will probably get a letter from her and/or Donald concerning getting the rest of the system drip area completed as per the permit requirements. Basically she said the following concerning the current state of the facility: 1. The additional some 16 acres that were clear cut do need to be planted with the specified tree crop to comply with the issued permit. 2. The undergrowth that is growing in all of the 34 acres needs to be controlled by cutting and/or herbicide spraying where proper inspections and maintenance can be performed. We all feel that once the growth has been killed out or controlled effectively the cost of maintaining should go down with the tree canopy that is there. Once under control, it may only take cutting and/or spraying once or twice a year to keep it controlled. My advise is to get it hand cut now while dormant and then have it all sprayed in the early Spring just when the new.growth starts. I think you will get the best results that way. 3. The phone line must be active again. The telemetry is required for that size of system to insure environmental protection while the operator is not on site. As you know we are only on site once a week. With a phone line we can monitor the system remotely 24/7 and various alarms can notify us if there is a failure of equipment. Thank you for your attention on these matters and if you have specific questions you may want to contact Peggy or Donald directly and address them. tim bannister TCW Wastewater Management, Inc.

Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality AQUIFER PROTECTION SECTION October 28, 2008 RE: Surface Irrigation Inspection Report Permit No. WQ0029635 Facility: Sunset Pointe Residential Subdivision Rowan County, N.C. Enclosed you will find the report for the annual compliance inspection that I conducted on October 21, 2008. The report should be self-explanatory but one finding requires emphasis. The underbrush in many areas of the pine forest is significantly overgrown. This situation makes it difficult for the operator to evaluate the condition of the drip lines. On the other hand, the clearcut areas and the drip fields with no tree cover remain essentially bare. This encourages soil erosion and possibly premature degradation of the irrigation lines. Your permit requires that a suitable year-round cover crop be provided and maintained. The underbrush. needs to be removed or cut back and a- regular maintenance schedule must be implemented. Preparations must be made to begin planting pine saplings in the treeless areas of the designated irrigation areas. Should you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 704/235-2183 or contact me via email at: peggy.finley@ncmail. net.
