Dear Ms. Hoffman:
The facilities listed above are covered under NPDES permit NCG510000 for discharge of remediated
groundwater. NCG510000 expires on September 30, 2006. Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A
NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit -renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior
to expiration of the current permit. If you have already mailed renewal requests, you may disregard
this notice.
To satisfy this requirement, the Division must receive a renewal request for each site, postmarked no
later than April 3, 2006. Failure to request renewal by this date may result in a civil assessment of at least
$500.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any discharge from either remediation system,will occur after September 30, 2006, the CoCs must
.be renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute
143-215.1; unpermitted discharges of wastewater may be assessed civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have halted remediation activity.due to lack of trust fund money, but either site ranking from
the Aquifer Protection Section requires future remediation & discharge, the CoC[s] must be renewed. If all
discharge has ceased at either facility and you wish to rescind a CoC [or if you have other questions], contact
me at the telephone number or e-mail address listed below.
Sincerely,
auk AND NIAl L!rZZAI

(formerly NC0083950)
Remount Road Facility
Gaston County
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit renewal received on April 1, 1996 by the
Division, we are forwarding herewith the subject Certificate of Coverage to discharge under the subject state -
NPDES general permit for petroleum contaminated groundwater remediation systems. Authorization is hereby
granted for the continued operation of a groundwater remediation system with discharge of treated wastewater
into an unnamed tributary to Duharts Creek, a Class WS-V stream in the Catawba River Basin. This
Certificate of Coverage is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and
the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated
December 6, 1983 and as subsequently amended.
Lead monitoring will be required at the Remount Road Facility under General Permit No. NCG51000,
Certificate of Coverage NCG510367. Lead was required in the previous permit, and the Division has received
no data to document the absence of lead. Thus, to protect against the possibility of lead contaminating the
receiving waters, Jead monitoring will be required as specified on the Effluent Limitations and. Monitoring
Requirements page of General Permit No. NCG51000.
This Certificate of Coverage is reissued under a newly revised general permit for discharges associated
with groundwater remediation systems (NCG510000 issued August 22, 1996). The new general permit is
more comprehensive than the original general permit in that it covers remediation of groundwater
contaminated with heavier fuels (such as diesel, fuel oil, and kerosene) as well as gasoline contamination.
Based on the source of your contamination, specifically gasoline and diesel fuel, effluent page A. (3)
applies to your facility and lists required effluent limitations and monitoring frequencies.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to request an individual permit by submitting an individual permit
application. Unless such demand is made, this certificate of coverage shall be final and binding.
Please take notice that this certificate of coverage is not transferable except after notice to the Division
of Water Quality. The Division of Water Quality may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the
certificate of coverage.

This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the
Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources or any other Federal or Local
governmental permit that may be required.
Any sludge generated from this treatment facility must be disposed of in accordance with G.S. 143-
215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.
In the event that the facility fails to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions,
the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this Division, such
as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Paul Clark at telephone

PART IV — EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
The applicant, BellSouth Telecommunications, has applied for
cover;::ge under General Permit,NCG510000 to discharge remediated
groundwater. The groundwater was contaminated by a release from all
old UST located onsite when the facility was used by BellSouth.
There may also have been another release from an undocumented UST;
however, the company could not provide their consultant with any
data.
The proposed remediation system will discharge into WS raters
which are not properly addressed in the General Permit. The
Benzene limit: in the General. Permit is 71.4 ug/l, which is hi.;l:er
than the WS' stream standard of 1.19 ug;/l.

Page Pour
It is recommended that coveral-e under the General Permit be
denied and an individual permit. be issued which should include
toxicity- testing.

Facility Name BellSouth Telecommunications [2300 Remount Rd] Permit # NCO083950 - 001
CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay
Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality
is 90 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina_ procedure document). The permit holder shall perform
quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be
performed after thirty -days from the effective date of this permit during the months of Jan., Apr., Jul., and
Oct. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below
all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B.
Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in
association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will
begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will
revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and
modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure. to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism
survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall. constitute an invalid test and will require immediate
retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute
noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

SECTIOti A. DEFrNITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authoria
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DE.\1 or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
3. E%iC
Used herein means the ?north Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended. 33
USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and.'or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled
and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during
such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days
the tests N-ere reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Pan I of the
permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average"
in Pan I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
vear. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found
each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other, than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month
on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in,
Pan I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of
the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count
for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Pan I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
"Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Pan I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all dail%- discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in
Pan I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount
of dissolved oxygen required -to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged
over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the
sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is
identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified. as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.

Part II

7. Other'Measurements
a. Flow. ('.NiGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded
during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling,
when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(11 a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2 ) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the
sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by
use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment
system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of
floes;.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time
of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time
intzn-als evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the
detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval
bet%%een effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less
than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of
the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric
mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual
values. Fot purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).

Part II
Page 4 of 14
c. _ Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
10. Calendar Dav
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. Hovc,ever, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably
represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.

The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of
treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to
achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also
includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This
provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are
installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the
conditions of the permit.
3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the pernutted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
condition of this permit.
4. Bvpa sing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of, waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or
operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe properly damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to
the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and
permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the
absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by
delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to
be exceeded,'but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;
including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action
against a permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(B) There ix -ere no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use, of auxiliary
treatment faciiities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance durins normal

Part II
Page 9 of 14
periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup
equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering
judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment
downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors
beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance
to 'the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities,
inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper
operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset. and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(11 An upset occurred and that the permittee can'identifi• the,cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facilin, was at the time being properly operated: and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this
permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this
permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset
has the burden of proof.
6. Removed Substances
Solids. sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or
control of wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with \CGS 143-215.1 and in
a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the Staza
or navicable waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal

Part II
Page 10 of 14
regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503,
any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be
reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40
CFR Part 503. The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the
Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the

Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
.performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately.until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving -stream, this .
permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate'environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
F.. Toxicity Reopener Condition
This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued to incorporate toxicity limitations and
monitoring requirements in the event toxicity testing or other studies conducted on the effluent or
receiving stream indicate that detrimental effects may be expected in the receiving stream as a result .

4. Description of Discharge
D. The type of wastewater to be discharged at the discharge point is treated
groundwater that has been previously contaminated with gasoline and diesel
fuel. The petroleum constituents will 'be removed via the proposed treatment
system. Free product will be recovered, if present, and separated by the
oil/water separator. The maximum concentrations of chemical constituents
analyzed during site assessment activities are shown in Table 1. These
concentrations were used in the design of the proposed treatment system.
E.
6. Based on the system design outlined in the Corrective Action Plan (CAP)
prepared by ESE Biosciences, Inc., (EBIO) dated September 13, 1993,
groundwater from 23 vacuum enhanced recovery wells will produce a
flow rate of approximately 8 gpm. This groundwater will be treated prior
to discharge by the use of an oil/water separator, iron removal system,
low -profile type diffused air stripper, and activated carbon adsorption.
The manufacturer's data and specifications for each unit are included in
Appendix A. The oil/water separator is a coalescing type, constructed of
stainless steel with a rated flow of up to 15 gpm. The separator has a
nominal volume of 100 gallons and should effectively remove oil droplets
larger than 38 microns. The oil/water separator also has a high level
cutoff switch which will be used to disable the recovery pumps in the
event that a high water situation exists. The iron removal system will
assist with the precipitation and removal of iron from the recovered
groundwater stream to prevent fouling of the air stripper system.
The low -profile diffused air stripper is manufactured by Carbtrol
Corporation and will contain 4 stages. Diffused air will be supplied by a
centrifugal blower at a rate of approximately 50 CFM/stage. The removal
rates for the diffused air stripper are provided by Carbtrol Corporation
based on the concentrations of contaminants and the flow rate provided by
EBIO. The modelling summary is included in Appendix A. Any residual
amounts of contaminants will be removed by the activated liquid carbon
adsorption units. The carbon units contain approximately 200 lbs of
carbon each and will be supplied by Carbtrol Corporation. The
breakthrough time for the carbon units is estimated at 45 days and will be
closely monitored to ensure no contaminants are discharged to the storm
sewer system. The process and instrumentation diagram of the system
design is shown on Figure 4.
7. There are currently 21 two-inch monitor wells and 1 four -inch recovery
well existing on -site. Additionally, there are 4 two-inch observation and

air sparging pilot test wells and 1 four -inch vapor extraction pilot test well
installed. Based on the proposed remediation system design outlined in
the CAP, there will be 42 four -inch vapor extraction wells, 23 of which
will also function as vacuum enhanced recovery wells. All wells are
indicated on Figures 2 and 3.
8. The recovery well pumps will be controllerless pneumatic pumps
manufactured by Clean Environment Engineers (Model AP4T). The
specifications for each of these pumps are included in Appendix B. Each
recovery well pump will be supplied air by the use of a compressor as
shown in Figure 4. Each well will contain Gems hi -low pack probes to
control the recovery pump for specified drawdown.
Electric submersible pumps will be used to transfer groundwater from the
condensate separator to the influent pump tank, from the influent pump
tank through the air stripper, and from the effluent pump tank through the
carbon adsorption system to the discharge point. These electric
submersible pumps will be manufactured by Zoeller (Model M57). All
pumps and pump tank locations are shown in Figure 4.
9. The oil/water separator contains a high-level cutoff switch which will be
connected to the control panel to disable the recovery pumps in case of a
high water situation. Additionally, high level cutoff switches will be
provided in all pump tanks which will also disable recovery pumps in case
of a high water level situation. EBIO will provide bi-weekly site visits
which will allow personnel to repair any equipment malfunctions or other
problems.
10. Access to the effluent for sampling will be provided by a sample port
located immediately beyond the activated carbon adsorption units. The
pipe leading to the discharge point will be open-ended to provide another
sampling location if desired. See Figure 4 for sampling locations.
5. Nature of Business of Applicant
BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc. is a communications company which formerly
utilized the site as a support operations center.
8. Possible Non -Discharged Alternatives
A. Sanitary sewer lines are located within a reasonable distance for wastewater
disposal. However, discussions with City of Gastonia personnel indicate that
although there is no written policy for groundwater remediation system
wastewater disposal to the sanitary sewer system, the city has not accepted
wastewater from these types of facilities in the past. City personnel added that
several remediation system wastewater disposal requests have been submitted
but none have been allowed to discharge to the sanitary sewer system.
B . Subsurface disposal could be a feasible option for wastewater disposal at the
site. However, based on the groundwater remediation system design outlined
in the CAP, subsurface disposal would be in conflict with the proposed system
design (i.e., the addition of water to the subsurface while attempting to dewater
the site for a vapor extraction system). Therefore, subsurface wastewater

disposal has not been proposed for the site based on design conflicts and
possible site limitations.
C. Spray irrigation for treated groundwater disposal is not a feasible option. The
former BellSouth Telecommunications property is approximately 95%
impervious and based on the setting of the site and adjacent land uses, it is
anticipated that no additional property could be purchased or used for the
construction of a spray irrigation system.

OIL WATER SEPARATORS
PRODUCT RECOVERY MANAGEMENT (PRM) has designed an oil/water separator
specifically for groundwater remediation. This system is available in 5GPM and 15GPM
nominal flowrates. Both systems have been designed to remove 40 micron or larger oil
droplets based on Stokes Law.
The units come standard with 304 Stainless Steel Construction (316 is available for more
aggressive compounds) with an integral dual hinged lid for easy access. A high level
float is included in each model consisting of either a N.O. or N.C. set of contacts for
integration into safety controls.
The coalescing media is constructed of -'a hydrocarbon resistant polypropylene weave
material constructed into a pack.
The 5 and 15GPM units are very similar in design. The only functional difference is the
volumetric capacities for increasing retention time and the size of the coalescing pack.

DIFFUSED AERATION SYSTEMS
The CARBTROL Diffused Aeration System removes dissolved organic
chemicals from groundwater by means of aggressively contacting air
and water in a series of completely mixed reactors.
Intimate mixing of the air and water promotes rapid diffusion of
volatile compounds form the liquid phase to the gaseous phase. Air
enters the reactor through a submerged sparger, which is designed to
create optimum air to water interface conditions. Volatile compounds
are removed from the system in the reactor air exhaust.
The transfer of volatile compounds from the water to the gas phase
proceeds according to standard gas transfer laws. Volatile compound
removal from the system can be estimated by use of the first order
formula:
M
Co
1 + (K .• t]
Where: Co
= Initial Concentration
Cl
= Effluent Concentration
K
= Mass Transfer Coefficient
t
= Reaction Time
M
= Number of Stages
Performance estimates calculated per the above formula are compared
to actual field operations data for verification.

1. The pump valve design shall need only two hoses - air input and air
exhaust.
2. The pump shall be able to function with Inlet air pressures ranging
from 5 to 150 psi.
3. There shall be two pump air valves - one for air inlet and one
for air exhaust. These valves shall be of a poppet design
with the -poppets moving vertically.
4. The poppets for the pump air valves shall be stainless steel.
5. The pump poppet valves shall be mounted on a lever assembly
to facilitate a mechanical .advantage for the poppet valves to
actuate reliably. A float shall activate the lever assembly
and thus shift the poppet valves.
6. Compressor lubrication oil and water shall pass from the compressed
air supply hose through the air valves easily. The air valves shall be
able to pass 90 weight oil at 70OF at a rate of at least 8 ounces per
minute using 80 psi air pressure.
7. The pump air valve shall use air only when discharging fluid
from the pump. The air valve assembly shall not need a bleeding air
supply to facilitate operations.
8. The air valve shall be able to wallow the fluid being pumped to rise up
through the valve when the compressed air source is removed from the
pump. The pump shall thus be able to sit submerged and
dormant for at least two (2) days and to start up readily and
continue to function when compressed air is again applied to the pump.
Pump Internals
1. The fluid discharge pipe of the pump shall be stainless. steel.
2. The fluid discharge pipe of the pump shall serve as the tension member
between the top and bottom of the pump.
3. The spring shall be a stainless steel alloy.
4. The pump shall supply a volume of at leasi 0.25 gallons per cycle at
zero discharge head and 30 psi air supply.

Pump Fluid Valves
1. The inlet to the pump shall be 40 inches or less above the bottom of
the pump.
2. The inlet and outlet check valve shall be located above the pump body
for easy access.
3. The inlet and outlet check valves shall be located in one fitting
located on the fluid discharge pipe, for easy access and servicing.
4. The inlet check valve shall be a free-floating, self-cleaning ball check
valve.
5. The outlet -check valve shall be a free-floating, self-cleaning ball
check valve.
Flow Rate
The pump shall be able to remove at least 2.0 gpm with an 80 psi air supply,
the inlet submerged 3 feet, and pumping against a 15 psi head.
Without any head, the pump shall be able to pump 3.0 gallons* per minute
with 80 psi air pressure and inlet submergence of 3 feet.
Compressed Air Filter/Regulator
The air
filter
shall filter the air 'to
5 microns and be able to remove -some
oil and
water
from the compressed
air. It shall have an automatic float
drain. The regulator shall be able
to regulate the compressed air from 0 to
125 psi.
The
air filter shall have
metal bowls and both the air filter and
regulator
shall
be able to withstand
250 psi air pressure.
Moses
All hoses supplied with the system shall be of industrial grade. The hoses
shall equal or surpass GOODYEAR INSTAGRIP I hose quality. All hoses shall
be color coded and equipped with non -interchangeable brass quick connect
fittings.
