Dear Mrs. Bowyer:
Please find enclosed the Compliance Evaluation Inspection for the site visit conducted on 8/11/2015 by Mr. Or! Tuvia
and myself. Your cooperation during the site visit was much appreciated.
After checking the permit records, I was able to find that the permit was renewed on 8/1/2013 and will not need_ to be
renewed again until 7/31/2018, please find permit attached.
Two areas of concern were identified during the site visit. First, the Chlorine tablets used were not wastewater rated. As
we discussed, in the future use wastewater grade tablets.
Secondly,_ annual effluent testing is not being performed as required by the permit. This testing is necessary to ascertain
whether or not your wastewater treatment system is functioning properly. A list of laboratories certified to perform the
testing required by -your permit is enclosed for your.use. Please note that your prompt attention to these issues will
help avoid future compliance problems.
If you have any questions, please contact Ori Tuvia or me at (704) 235-2194.

is no record in our files that a renewal was ever received. The COC sets forth terms and conditions
that must be followed when operating your system, including the collection of analytical data of your
effluent. In order to avoid future compliance problems, a renewal of the subject COC should be
submitted as soon as possible. You will be forwarded a link to where you can download the COC
renewal form to the email address you provided to Mr. Parker.
If you have any questions, comments, or need assistance with understanding any aspect of
your COC or this report, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Parker at (704) 663-1699, ext. 2194.

This permit was originally issued to Mr. Robert Becker in 1994. Mr. Becker subsequently sold the property
to Mr. Mike Smith and Ms. Patricia Bowyer. Although the new owners were aware of the existance of a
WWT system, Mr. Smith and Ms. Bowyer were unaware that the COC that covered the WWT facility must
be renewed and that monitoring of the WWT system is necessary (the original COC expired in 1997). The
new owners will be forwarded a copy of the NO[ and a copy of the GP so that the COC can be re -issued in
their name and monitoring of the WWT system can begin.

Hi Dee,
OCT 21 2009
Thanks for taking the time to discuss my project with me last week. Enclosed is the info on our Waste
Water Disposal System. Michael Parker has seen the system and we recently renewed our permit
which is now in effect until 2012.
My husband and I have owned this property for the last 15 years which is when this system was installed.
We would like to add approx 600 square feet to the side of our home. The location of the addition is
over 25 feet from the Disposal System and would include 2 rooms as follows:
1. A Music room
2. An Exercise/Project Room
No plumbing will be added, only electricity and HVAC.
The house is currently 1200 square feet with 2 Bedrooms and 2 Baths.
I would like to get a Health Permit so I can then get the Zoning and Building Permit.
Thanks for your help.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me at 704-877-9360
Thanks'

Dear Jon:
Via Federal Express
Pursuant to our telephone discussion on July 18, 1994, enclosed is a copy of the request for
Authorization to Construct which has been submitted to the Division of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources on the above -referenced property.
As you will note, the copy of the blueprint indicates the location of the various tanks, sand
filters, etc. which are part of the surface discharge septic system. These items will be below the
surface of the ground. My understanding is that the buyers of the property were advised by
Mr. Roberts of the approximate location of these items. However, I would suggest that we
provide the buyers with a copy of this document as quickly as possible so that they are fully
advised of our plans.
If these plans are acceptable to the buyers and the well and termite inspections are clean,
can we execute the written Addendum which you recently prepared? Please let me know.
Very truly yours,
Robert J. Becker

all routine inspections and at least twice monthly.
3. Pump maintenance should follow the manufacturer's
recommendations.
4. The septic tank should be checked periodically for sludge
accumulation and should be pumped out as needed with the
sludge being disposed of properly. Check yearly if garbage
grinder is included -within the wastewater system (not
recommended) or check every three years for systems without
garbage grinders.
5. Accumulated solids in the laterals over the sand filter
bed should be back flushed annually by unscrewing the caps of
each of the turn -ups and back -flushing with a garden. hose
using clean water, or by flushing the lines by use of the
Pump in the dosing tank.
6. Leaking plumbing fixtures should be corrected as soon as

MINI -SA NT M MODEL 100
WASTEWATER CHLORINATOR FOR SMALL TREATMENT
PLANTS UP TO 10,000 Q
THE SIMPLE, RELIABLE WAY TO
DISINFECT WASTEWATER
The SANURIL Mini -San Model 100 Wastewater Chlorinator is a
complete one-piece system for highly reliable disinfection of
treated effluent from any sewage plant having a design capacity
of 10,000 GPD or less. The chlorinator is used in conjunction with
SANURIL 115 Tablets, a new disinfecting agent that provides a
chemically stable source of chlorine for wastewater disinfection.
The SANURIL Mini -San Chlorinator can be installed in existing treat-
ment plants where wastewater chlorination is being added or to
replace troublesome, unreliable or complicated chlorination systems.
It is equally suitable for factory assembly into new package plants.
Typical installations have included a wide range of sites such as:
Restaurants
Highway Rest Stops
Trailer Parks
Recreation Parks Schools and many others
Service Stations
Drilling Platforms
Small Industrial Plants
Camping Facilities
SANURIL - SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE AT A LOWER
Better Performance— The entire plant flow passes through the NOW
chlorinator where thorough mixing of wastewater with a controlled
amount of chlorine takes place. This means more effective
bactericidal action and less bacteria regrowth.
Low Initial Cost— In addition to low investment in the Mini -
San Chlorinator, savings.are compounded because no pumps,
mixing tanks or costly control devices are required as with
most other chlorination systems.
Simple, Low -Cost Installation — One-piece chlorinator /111�
construction requires only inlet piping. No electrical power, FEED TUBES
wiring, bypasses or other piping required.
Lower Operating Costs — Chlorinator operates up to 60 days on a WEATI
single charge. No time-consuming pre -mixing of chemicals or costly
cylinder handling. Recharging SANURIL 115 tablets is quick and
easy. No costs for electrical power or auxiliary power.
Maintenance -Free Operation — No tanks, pumps, cylinders,
external control devices or other moving parts to break down.
System is non -mechanical and rust and corrosion proof.
*For plants over 10.000 GPD flow use the SANURIL Model 1000
Wastewater Chlorinator.

OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT
WITH FINAL DISPOSAL BY DISCHARGE
INTO MCCREARY CREEK COVE OF LAKE NORMAN
IN THE CATAWBA RIVER BASIN
ROBERT J. BECKER - OWNER/SELLER
NOTE: PRIOR TO BEGINNING ANY ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE
WASTEWATER DISPOSAL SYSTEM, THE INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR SHALL
NOTIFY THE ENGINEER OF HIS INTENDED CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND
SHALL ARRANGE A PRE -CONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE WITH THE ENGINEER
AT THE SITE FOR THE PURPOSE OF REVIEWING THE WORK TO BE DONE
AND FOR ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS THE INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR
MAY HAVE ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM. NO
CHANGES ARE TO BE MADE TO THE WASTEWATER DISPOSAL SYSTEM
WITHOUT THE WRITTEN PERMISSION OF THE ENGINEER.
(a) The Contractor -shall conduct careful excavation at the
site in order to locate existing wastewater piping from the
existing residence to the existing septic tank. Once the
Contractor has determined the location of the existing septic
tank on the lot, and has traced all existing wastewater
piping from the existing septic tank back to the residence to
assure that all wastewater piping from the residence is
contained within a single piping system, Contractor shall be
ready to begin construction of the new wastewater treatment
system.
(b) Wastewater piping system from the existing residence to
the location of the new septic tank shall be 4" diameter
Schedule 40 PVC sewer pipe laid at 1.0% minimum grade.
(c) The pretreatment tank shall consist of a
1,500 gallon capacity, reinforced precast concrete septic
tank with full, baffle, and shall have easy access to each
chamber from ground level for checking and pumping. The
first chamber of the pre-treatment tank shall contain 2/3 to
3/4 of the volume of the total tank and the -baffle shall
contain a horizontal opening across the tank at,about midway
its height. Locate the pre-treatment tank'at such height as
to provide approximately 8 inches of soil cover over the top
of the tank. The tank shall be properly sealed using 1"
diameter butyl rubber pliable sealant as approved by the tank
manufacturer.
(d) Wastewater piping system from the pre-treatment tank to
the location of the dosing tank shall be 4" diameter Schedule
40 PVC sewer pipe laid at 1.0% minimum grade.
(e) The dosing tank shall consist of 1,500 gallon capacity,
reinforced, precast concrete tank with baffle containing two
4" diameter openings located no more than 6" above the tank
floor. Provide access for entry into the tank directly over
SITE REQ PAGE 1
a
the pump location and extend 6" above final grade. The tank
shall be properly sealed using 1" diameter butyl rubber
pliable sealant as approved by the tank manufacturer. After
joining, plaster along the joint with hydraulic cement,
cement mortar, or other approved waterproofing sealant.
The tank shall be provided with knock -out sections to
accommodate the 4" diameter Schedule 40 PVC inlet piping from
the septic tank and from the recirculating sand filter, as
well as the 2" diameter electrical conduit. Seal around pipe
using bituminous rope.
(f) Before backfill around tanks, and after all piping has
been connected with and sealed against the tanks, all tanks
shall be filled to the outlet level with water, and shall be
observed for 24 hours for leakage. If the water level within
the tanks has dropped more than 1/2 inch during the 24-hour
inspection period, the tank leakage tests are considered to
have failed, and the tank must not be used until the sources
of the leaks have been found, the leaks properly sealed, and
the tanks retested and the leakage tests being met, prior to
backfilling around the tanks. Approved vacuum testing of the
tank may be used in -lieu of leakage testing.
(g) The pump to be installed into the dosing tank shall be
Goulds 1/3 horsepower WS03B pump, Model #3887, or Hydromatic
4/10 horsepower SP40M1 pump, or Zoeller 1/2 horsepower N262
pump, or Myers 1/2 horsepower WHR5-11C pump or approved
equal. Such pump shall consist of 1/3 to 1/2 horsepower
motor capable of handling 3/4" sphere solids, heads to 13.4
feet total, flows of 44.2 gallons per minute, and shall
require 115 volts, single phase, 60 hertz, 12 amp service.
(h) Extend 2 inch diameter Schedule 40 PVC piping from the
pump located in dosing tank to the start of the distribution
piping system at the top of the recirculating sand filter
bed. See Engineering Plans for details. The end of the
lateral shall be turned up and plugged with a Schedule 40 PVC
removable clean -out plug. All joints in piping shall be of
water tight connections such that the only source of water
seepage from the system is through the orifices in the
distribution piping system across the top of the sand filter
bed.

has carbon and ceramic faces for
positive seal. All metal parts of seal are
303 stainless steel.
IMPELLER —Special "Tornado" type. No
close clearance to cause clogging or
.binding. Cast iron epoxy coated.
VOLUTE CASE —Cast iron coated inside
and out with baked on epoxy paint. Has
full 2 inch �opeh passage for solids.
Support' legs provide proper clearance
for solids to enter pump. Provided with
2 inch or 3 inch discharge flange.
MOTOR BOTTOM PLATE —Cast iron
epoxy coated, mounts to motor to make
a complete motor assembly that bolts to
pump volute case.
Complete assembly, including impeller,
can be lifted from pump case.
BEARINGS —Upper bearing is sleeve
type with thrust washer to take up
thrust. Lower bearing is ball type for
radial and thrust loads. Bearings are
lubricated with oil in motor.
FASTENERS —All screws and bolts are
18-8 stainless.steel. Easily removed after
years of exposure .to sewage water.
INTERCHANGEABILITY —All castings,
except impellers, are the same for
1/2 - 3/4 - 1. HP -pumps and for single or
three phase.

THE SIMPLE, RELIABLE WAY T0..;,,
DISINFECT WASTEWATER
The SANURIL Mini -San Model 100 Wastewater Chlorinator is a
complete one-piece system'ifor highly reliable disinfection of
treated effluent from any sewage plant having a design capacity
of 10,000 GPD or less. The chlorinator is used in conjunction with
SANURIL 115 Tablets, a new disinfecting agent that provides a
chemically stable source of chlorine for wastewater disinfection.The
SANURIL Mini -San Chlorinator can be installed in existing treat-
ment plants where wastewater chlorination is being added or to
replace troublesome, unreliable or complicated chlorination systems.
It is equally suitable for factory assembly into new package plants.
Typical installations' have included a wide range of sites such as:
Restaurants .' Highway Rest Stops Trailer Parks Recreation Parks' ; '_Schools and many others
Service Stations Drilling Platforms.- Small Industrial Plants Camping Facilities
c .
SANURIL - SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE AT A LOWER COST J
Better Performance — The entire plant flow passes through. they
'
chlorinator where thorough mixing of wastewater with a controlled
amount of chlorine takes place'. This means more effective
bactericidal action and less bacteria regrowth.
`
Low Initial Cost'— In addition to low investment in the Mini-
San Chlorinator, savings.are compounded_ because no pumps,
mixing tanks or costly control devices are required as with
most other chlorination systems.
Simple, Low -Cost Installation,— One-piece chlorinator FEED TUBES #`
construction requires only inlet piping. No electrical power,
wiring, bypasses or other piping required.
Lower Operating Costs — Chlorinator operates up to 60 days on a

PART IV — EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant, Robert Becker, has applied for coverage under
General Permit NCG550000. The facility will serve a single family
residence which currently has an illegally constructed system. The
system was originally permitted by the health department. The
system subsequently failed and several unpermitted repairs were
made to the system, including an overflow chamber.
There does not appear to be any alternative to.discharge.
There is not a regional collection system in the area. The owner
does not own sufficient land for either spray irrigation or
subsurface disposal. Acquiring additional land is not economically
feasible due land prices in the area.
It is recommended that coverage under the general permit be
granted and a certificate.of coverage be issued.

To whom it may concern:
On December 16, 1993 a visit was made to the Robert Becker property off_; -
Patternote Road (Section 9,.lot 180), Mooresville, N.C. The purpose of the"
visit was to perform a well inspection/water sample and a septic system fr
inspection.
The well inspection revealed the lack of a downward directed screened
vent on the well head seal. A water sample was collected and the results
were positive for coliform bacteria (see enclosure). Disinfeetioa' of the
well is therefore recommended.
While searching the site for evidence of where a septic system might
be located, I noticed a green, fiberglass riser hidden among shrubbery off
the left side of the house. Further investigation revealed what appeared
to be a sewage effuent storage tank/chlorine contact chamber with a discharge
pipe approximately 15'-20' downslope.- There was no chlorine tablets
present in theweir, but I am unaware of what other use this chamber might
have. I have researched Health Department records and have located what I
believe may be the original septic system permit. Athough there is no
lot number on this permit, the road number and distance to the site correspond
with its location as well as the last name of the original owner. Information
on this old permit inidcates the system was installed in bad soil and there .
was the presence of large amounts of subsurface rock. Based upon this
information, I suspect the original septic system failed sometime in the past,
and due.to unsuitable site conditions there was a recommendation made to go
to the N. C. Department of Environment, Health & Natural Resources to investigate
the possibility of obtaining a permit to treat and discharge the sewage. effuent
waste. I called DENHNR (which has a regional office in Mooresville at 619
North Main St., telephone #704-6631699), but they said they had no record
of a discharge permit for this site. They recommended the owner of this -
property contact them in regard to a permit issuance.
' National Prop. Inspections, Inc.-Con't
In conlcusion, I believe this site has a discharge type wastewater
system. The jurisidiction of these type systems comes under the N. C. DEHNR.
Any further comments, questions or requests in that regard should be directed
to them. The problem with the well water is something that usually can be
corrected by disinfection. If you have any questions about this, please
contact me.

EVALUATION OF OPTIONS FOR WASTEWATER DISPOSAL
SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS SERVING LOT 0180 PATTERNOTE ROAD
DAVIDSON TOWNSHIP, IREDELL COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
EXISTING CONDITIONS: Lot 0180 Patternote Road is located at
the northern portion of the Silverbell Lane cul-de-sec just
north of Patternote Road (S.11. #1240), adjoining the waters
of Lake Norman on the Catawba River, along the southern
shorelineof an unnamed tributary to the.McCreary Creek cove
of Lake Norman, at a di.stance of approximately 1 1/2 miles
west -of Brawley Elementary School, west of the Town of
Mooresville, in Davidson Township of Iredell County.
Lot #180 Patternote Road is 0.75 acres in size, and
consists of gently rolling terrain along the upper portion
(southern portion) of the lot, with steep topography along
the waterfront portions of the lot. Ownership of this lot was
conveyed.from Crescent Land and Timber Corporation to Arthur
J. Allen, Sr. on August 4, 1.977, and the three bedroom single
family residence, now located on this lot, was. constructed
soon thereafter, and the permit for aseptic tank system of
on -site wastewater disposal was issued by the Iredell County
Health Department. Later, after constructing the residence on
this lot, ownership of this property was conveyed from Allen
to Beth S. Reavis on November 9, 1982, who later conveyed
ownership of this property to the current owner, Robert J.
Becker, on July 17,.I986.
Over the years, the original septic tank system of
wastewater disposal apparently failed on several occasions,
due to unsuitable.soil found on this site, and the previous
owners apparently attempted to add extensions to the original
septic tank disposal field without getting repair permits
from the Health Department. The�last improvements made by
previous owners to the existing septic tank system of on -site
wastewater disposal, left the system with an overflow chamber
for chlorination of treated effluent, prior to piping to an
unauthorized discharge point on,grade approximately 50 feet
from the property line.and the waters of Lake Norman. The
existing wastewater system, as it has been modified over the
past 17 years, is not properly permitted, has not been
f%!nctionin& satisfactorily, and a solution in needed for
making improvements to this existing system.
THE OPTIONS FOR _WASTE_WATER DISPOSAL
SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS ARE AS -FOLLOWS:
(1),Installing on -site ground absorption wastewater
disposal system improvements on this site;
(2) Acquiring adjoining property and installing on -site
subsurface disposal system on the acquired site;
(3) Acquire adjoining property and install spray
irrigation/land application system of wastewater disposal;
ENGINEERING REPORT PAGE 1 OF 5
APR 14 194 11:00 ROWAN PUBLIC LIBRARY 470 PO4
(4) Acquire adjoining property and install drip emitter
system of land application wastewater disposal;
(5) Install pump station and force main,to nearest
community sewerage system; and
(6) On -site treatment system with final disposal of
effluent by discharge into Lake Norman.
Each of -these methods of wastewater disposal will be
evaluated herein.
OPTION_ *L: INSTALLING_ ON -SITE GROUND ABSORPTION WASTEWATER
DISPOSAL SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT$ ON THIS SITE.
During recent telephone conversations with Mr. David
Hinson of the Iredell County Health Department concerning
this site, he informed me that their recent evaluation of the
soil and site conditions at this location revealed this
entire site to be unsuitable for use with ground -absorption
wastewater disposal systems, due to poor sofl,nermeability,
due to the steep topography across most of this lot, and due
to the location of existing -structures and existing wells on
this lot. Based upon my telephone conversation with Mr.
Hinson, this option is not available to the existing owner.at
this location.
OPTION #2: ACQUIRE ADJOINING PROPERTY AND INSTALL_ ON -SITE
SUB -SURFACE DISPOSAL SYST8M�TO SERVE LOT #180_.
A look at the sub --division map and tax maps for this
location reveals that all existing waterfront lots in
reasonable proximity to this axte located along the northern
margin of Patternote Road (S.R. *1240).are built -upon, except
Lot #178C located at the northwestern intersection of
Patternote Road and Silverbell Lane. This lot is currently
owned by Crescent Land and Timber Corporation, and most of
this lot is not suitable for use with ground absorption
wastewater disposal systems, due to unsuitable soil
conditions, topography, and lot setbacks, but -an area was
found on Lot #178C which may have enough area of useable soil
material to accommodate the repair wastewater disposal field._
However, to acquire this site from Crescent Land and Timber
Corporation, the Owner must pay the sum of $48,250 to them
for this 1.4 acre tract of predominantly unsuitable soil
material. The Owner feels that the sum of $48,230 is too much
to pay for "limited use." property which will be used
primarily for the wastewater disposal system repair to serve
the Owner's existing house and lot, which is currently tax
officer appraised at $164,600. The Owner feels, and this
Engineer agrees with the feelings of the Owner, that this
option for wastewater disposal system improvements is NOT
economically practical and feasibly using Lot #178C.
All property along the southern margin of Patternote
ENGINEERING REPORT PAGE 2 OF 5
APR 14 194 11:01 ROWAN PUBLIC LIBRARY 470 P05
Road (S.R.*1240), in reasonable proximity to the Owner's
property, is owner by Crescent Land and Timber Corporation
as a single large tract. Crescent Land and Timber Corporation
has informed the Owner that they are not willing to sell him
a portion of this large tractat this -time, and that they are
not willing to convey an easement to the Owner at this time
for his use in placing subsurface wastewater disposal fields,
spray irrigation or drip irrigation. -wastewater systems on a
portion of this large tract. Because of the apparent
unavailability of this property to the Owner, this option for
wastewater disposal is not available to the Owner at this
time.
OPTION *3:, A_C_QUIRE ADJOINING PROPERTY AND INSTALL SPRAY
IRRIGATION LAND APPLICATION WASTEWATER SYSTEM_
Because of the unavailability of existing properties in
general proximity to the Owner's site,` as described in OPTION
#2 above, the Owner does not have the option of utilizing the
spray irrigation/land application method of wastewater
disposal near his existing property. Crescent Land and Timber
Corporation owns the property south of.Patternote-Road for a
distance of. approximately 670 feet from the shoreline of Lake
Norman, with the adjoining tract to the south being a large
parcel owned by Mrs. Hugh (Elnora) McKay. The Owner's efforts
to make telephone contact with.tbe McKay's have not been
fruitful to date. If'property could be acquired from the
McKay tract for the spray irrigation/land application.system,
an easement across the property of Crescent Land and Timber
Corporation will be required,. and they have not expressed
their willingness to convey an easement across this tract.
For these reasons, the Engineer feels that this,option is not
available to the Owner at this time.
OPTION 24; ACQUIRE ADJOINING PROPERTY AND INSTALL DRIP_
IRRIGATION1LANp AAPPLICATION 'WASTEWATER SYSTEM.
Because of the unavailability of existing properties'in
general proximity to the Owner's site; as described in OPTION
#2 and #3 above, the Owner does not have the option of
utilizing the,drip irrigation/land application method of
wastewater disposal near his existing property. For these
reasons, the Engineer feels'.that this option is not available
to the Owner at this time.
OPTION #5: INSTALL.PUMP STATION AND _FORCE MAIN PIPING_ SYSTEM
FROM THIS S_IT_E_ TO THE LOCATION OF THE NEAREST
COMMUNITY SEWERAGE SYSTEM.
The nearest community sewerage system to this site is
located in Mallard Head Subdivision located south of Brawley
School Road (S.R.*1100) at a distance of approximately 1 mile
ENGINEERING REPORT PAGE 3 OF 5
APR 14 194 11:02 ROWAN PUBLIC LIBRARY 470 P06
southeast of Lot #180 Patternote Road, when measured along a
strait line. To extend a force main from Lot #180 Patternote
Road to the location of the Mallard Head Subdivision by the
most direct route, an easement would be needed across a
minimum of 5 separate parcels'of land, to reach Brawley
School Road (S.R.*1100), then along Hrawley School Road and
into Mallard Head Subdivision to an appropriate entry point
into their sewerage system. This will require crossing the
property owned by Crescent Land and Timber Corporation with
the force main, and they have not expressed their willingness
to convey an easement across this tract. It is unknown at
this point if other property owners would be willing to
convey'an easement to the Owner for the proposed force main,
but an easement will be needed from ALL such property owners
if the force main were extended by the most direct route.
The force main could be extended to Mallard Head
Subdivision by following the rood right-of-way northwestward
along Patternote Road (S.R.#1240), southward along Blume Road
(S.R.#1178), and eastward along Brawley School Road
(S.R.#1100), a distance of approximately 2.5 miles from Lot
*180 Patternote Road to the entrance into Mallard Head
Subdivision.
The cost associated with extending the force main along
the road right-of-way for a distance of 2.5 miles is
estimated at $125,0.00 to $190,000, plus the cost of acquiring
any easements that may be necessary along this route. The
costs associated with extending the force main along the most
direct route across the four (minimum) property owner's for a
distance of approximately 1 mile is estimated at $50,000 to
$80,000, plus the cost of acquiring any easements that may be
necessary along this route. These estimates are based upon
the assumption that the Owner would be allowed to connect
with the existing sewerage system at Mallard Head
Subdivision.
Because of the.high costs associated with the extension
of force main piping from this site to the nearest sewerage
system, it is the opinion of the Engineer that this option is
neither practical nor economically feasible for solving the
existing wastewater disposal problem at Lot #180 Patternote
road.
OPTION #6 ONN=S_ITE W_A_STEWATBR TREATMENT SYSTEM WITH FINAL
DISPOSAL BY DISCHAIM INTO LAKE NORMAN.
Although this option in not a preferred'choice for the
Owner, the Engineer, and representatives of the Division of
Environmental Management, it may be the most practical
option for dealing with the problem of disposing of the
existing wastewater from the existing residence on Lot #180
Patternote Road, The Engineer proposes installing a new
wastewater treatment system at this existing residence,
consisting of a now 1,500 gallon capacity precast concrete
ENGINEERING REPORT PAGE 4 OF 3
APR.14 194 11:02 ROWAN PUBLIC LIBRARY 470 P07
septic tank with baffle, a new .1,500 gallon capacity precast
concrete dosing tank with 1/2 horsepower submersible effluent
pump and liquid level control float switch, pumping to a
recirculating sand filter bed of 9.5' by 19.0' size with flow
dividers at the underdrain return line for splitting flow
from the sand filter for 3/4 flow returning to the dosing
tank for mixing with effluent from the septic tank and with
.1/4 flow draining to a new 100 gallon capacity precast
concrete chlorination tank with tablet chlorinator at the
inlet pipe, witli step aeration from its outlet, with.4"
diameter Schedule 40 PVC gravity piping to the proposed
discharge point at the bottom of Lake Norman at a distance of
200 feet from shoreline oft -the Owner's property, using 8"
masonry block around the pipe to.secure it to the bottom of
the lake. An alarm panel shall be installed within the
existing residence and connected with.a liquid level float
switch located within the dosing tank so -as to notify the
Owner of any high water conditions that may occur within the
dosing tank. The recirculating sand filter bed will be
constructed below existing grade using a polyethylene liner,
4" diameter porous plastic tubing underdrain piping system in
61'stone base layer,'with 30" thick layer of approved
filtering sand, with 1 1/4" thick PVC distribution piping
system at the top of the. sand filter bed covered with 3"
layer of washed stone. The top of the sand filter shell'be
set flush with existing grade and the yard surface near the
sand filter shall be shaped to divert stormwater away from
the sand filter. Piping from the underdrains of the sand
filter bed to the flow dividers in concrete box, with lid,
shall be 4" diameter Schedule 40 PVC laid at'1.0 percent
minimum slope, and shall be securely sealed at its passage
through the liner membrane so as to be 1atertight. The new
wastewater treatment and disposal system shall be placed a
minimum of 15' from the existing residence, 10' minimum from
the -side lot property line, 50' minimum from existing wells,
and 50, minimum from the full pond elevation of Lake Norman.
The'Engineer estimates construction costs associated
with this system of.wastewater treatment and disposal to be
between $8,000 to $15,000, The Engineer requests that the
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management grant a
permit to the Owner. Robert J. Becker, for the construction,
operation and maintenance of.this proposed.wastewater
treatment system, with final disposal by discharge into
McCreary Creek Cove of Lake Norman.

Soil and Site Evaluation for a Land -Based
Single Family Waste Disposal System
Introduction
This evaluation was made to advise the owner, wastewater engineer, and appropriate
State agency of the soil resource and feasibility of a land -based system, site specific loading
rate for such a system, and soil or site specifics to consider in system design. It addresses
soil and site criteria for permitting through NCDHENR-DEH ,(T 15A. 18A .1900) and
NCDHENR-DEM (15 NCAC 2H .0200). The system would be a repair permit, for an
existing home located on Lake Norman, a water supply and WS IV classification 14ke. This
new system would repair a failing ground absorption with a chlorinated and surface
discharge now being used. The proposed system will dispose of 360 gallons of domestic
sewage from normal household activities. Field work for this investigation was done
February 14, 1994. The work is an effort to minimize nutrients and pathogens from the
waste for least impact to the .sensitive lake environment, while meeting a disposal need.
The recommendation for a land -based system is based on a combination of factors,
including, but not limited to 1) topography and landscape positions, 2) soil characteristics,
3) wetness conditions, 4) soil depth, 5) soil restrictive horizons, 6) available space, and
vegetation. Generally, some of these conditions which may limit site use, can be
compensated for by changing the system design; however, some factors cannot be.
remediated. It is with this philosophy that this report is prepared.
This report is preliminary and supplemental to an engineering design. At this time the
engineer has not been contracted. Some details required of that permit request have been
omitted from this work. Some site specifics are referred to the design engineer. Should
additional soil or site requests be identified, the soil scientist will gladly work with design
engineer.
Site
The 0.75 acre lot investigated is located approximately 1.4 miles west of Brawley School
which is west of Mooresville, N. C. in a rural area (Fig. 1). The existing house and lot (Figs.
2 & 3) are on a narrow interfluve (Fig. 4) continuous to a perennial or ephemeral stream
on the northwest and the lake across the entire northern part of the lot. The lot is steep
and uniform, 760 to approximately 790 feet in elevation (USGS). Within the area evaluated,
slopes and slope directions vary depending on the relationship to the interfluve and shoulder
landscape position and previous grading during development.
• f.
-2
The diagram (from
Daniels, et.al.,
1984)closely
illustrates the area
described. The
available lot has
major areas
excluded from
potential , ground
absorption use
because of slope,
surface. water, -
setbacks, well setbacks, and surface scarring from grading when the existing house was built
and landscaped (Fig. 3). This home is not currently occupied, but is for sale. There is
currently an interested buyer if a suitable waste system- can be installed. There are no
significant gullies on the lot and it is not dissected by erosional pathways. If minor surface
washes have occurred, they were corrected when the lawn or landscaping was established.
There are two streams associated with the area investigated, but no waste application was
considered within 50 feet of the stream(s). Landscape position is such that none of the area
identified for consideration is subject to flooding.
The area is served by on -site private wells. A survey of the existing homesites revealed
wells as shown on figure. 2. All three wells in the area, are actively_ used. Frequent hand-
held clinometer readings were made on the site to verify topo map information. Slopes are
included with soil profile descriptions. For any type corrective activities, all parts of the lot
are accessible by motorized equipment. 'The 5.Ohp backhoe used for the pit excavations
moved freely about the lot.
Soils
The Soil Survey of Iredell County, N. C. (Cawthorn and Jenkins, 1964) has the area
mapped Louisburg and Louisa, sandy loam, 6,25 percent slopes (Fig. 5). Generally; the area
considered in this investigation and all of the surrounding area is this soil complex, which is
very shallow soil over bedrock, variably drained and formed in residual weathered granite
gneiss and mica gneiss(App.1). Moving eithernorthwest or southeast across the drainageway.
is_ deep red kaolinite clay soil. In this area only this one small interfluve (or point into Lake
Norman) has this type of soil. This site specific soils investigation was made in transects
using backhoe pits on approximately.a 50 by 50 foot grid (Fig. 3). Holes were placed by a

3 foot wide backhoe bucket to 5.0 feet or refusal because of hardrock. Some augering was
done into soft rock to measure hydraulic conductivity. All pits were described. The
following description was made near the west center of the lot and is considered typical of
the presently permitted disposal area.

0-0.5 fill material, mostly reddish -yellow clay loam
0.5-1.0 dark brown (10YR 4/3) fine sandy loam; weak fine granular structure; very

(SAB); easily crumbles to granular; friable; slightly sticky, slightly plastic;
common fine mica flakes; clear smooth boundary.

inclusions; firm to friable in place but picks out to granular structure; few
rock fragments; c. to many mica flakes; saprolite and highly weathered rock
material mixed together.
3.4-3.9 dark colored mineral rock, fragments of granite gneiss -not augerable.
Hole terminated, could .not get return with effort. Base of hole
Appendix 2 has field notes of all backhoe.pit profile descriptions. The grid for formal
profile descriptions was closely spaced to best evaluate soil material over the disturbed area.
There were no holes where rock was encountered at the surface. Subsurface rocks were
found at various depths in road cuts adjoining the lot and these were of substantial size to,
impact recommendations. No rock outcrops were observed on the site, however some were
1 visible on the adjoining property (Figure 5).
Indications of seasonal watertable were observed in 2 holes when pit was opened
through the existing drainfield line, Pit 2 immediately filled with water to within 1 foot of the
surface. In the area of hole 4 there was soil mottling or: color in the profile to indicate poor
internal drainage. This area also had surface wetness or weeps . First indications were that
this landscape was high and well drained, but close examination revealed a restrictive
horizon in the top 2.5 feet. Holes were described with high antecedent moisture conditions.
Just prior to this investigation, locally heavy rains had been widespread in the area. Ruts
in the roadways still contained water.
Four site specific hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) measurements were made on this site.
The surface horizon, because of the established fescue grass is very friable; however, the
-4-
measured conductivity below this was..07 cm.hr.-I. The saprolite at 4.7-5.5' in pit 1 measured
0.04 cm.hr.-I, and the highly weathered rock in pits 4 and 5 was:0.04 and <0.02 cm.hr.-I. The
deeper HWR horizon would significantly restrict vertical conductivity.
Both individual or composite soil samples were collected from the site. These have
been stored for lab analysis should soil cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH, and nutrient
status be needed. These samples were not submitted to NCDA.
Conclusion
The site has regular topography, but a shallow soil profile over rock. These shallow
soils are a result of. parent material and to a lesser extent to past cultural activities.
Topography and landscape positioning also have accelerated erosion. There is very poor
profile development and -even with pretreatment and a very,conservative application rate a
ground absorption rate cannot be recommended. Measured Ksat values indicate a high
likelihood of hydraulic overload, even with the most restrictive water use fixtures. Sufficient
areas are not available for disposal. The somewhat infiltrative surface horizon is over a
highly restrictive horizon.
Past site performance, measured Ksat values, and an intuitive feel after an extensive
evaluation lead me to conclude that an on -site ground absorption cannot be permitted and
if it could, would have a poor likelihood of success. There' is no basis or values to use in -
justifying a .1948(d) system.
Off -Site Alternative with Ground Absorption
Lot 178C (Fig. 2) is a vacant lot belonging to Crescent Resources, Inc. (CRI) a
development company. It has an area of provisionally suitable soil across the drainageway
on a lineal slope of approximately 15%. Backhoe pits indicate a moderately deep clay or
clay loam profile. Some slight gullying perpendicular to contour will necessitate prior layout
of a system before a permit is issued. If this land is available, its exact suitability will have
to be determined. A large tract of land south of Patternote is also owned by CRI, but
according to Jim Bass (cited) a small parcel is not available for sell or lease.
Discharge System
Although rarely used for single family residential systems, this may be ..the only
alternative. The lot is located .near the head of a cove so discharge water will require.
maximum treatment and disinfection before release. This can come from a,combination of
septic tanks or aerobic treatment units (ATU), constructed soil mound with catchment
underdrains, sandfilter; disinfection,. wetland treatment unit, overland flow, and discharge.
Each of these components has a special purpose, but all are not necessary for any given
system. After. discharge 'limits are established, components . can be added for each . phase
deemed necessary
5-
Should any of these be considered, or if I can be of help with system design, I would
welcome .the opportunity to work with the project engineer. If there are any questions about
this paper or my conclusion, please contact me. As with any subsurface investigation, both
natural and manmade features may be concealed at the time of investigation.Should such
be exposed during construction, or at any later date, the soil scientist reserves the privilege
to review findings and 'modify conclusions. Thank you for this opportunity to serve.

lower over bedrock. This soil generally is less than 30
inches thick.
This soil is too steep an(l eroded for cultivated crops
or for hay or pasture. 'Most -of it is idle or lias stands of
Virginia pine. The yield of pines is poor, but, after they
are estahlished, pines help prevent further erosion.
(Capability unit VIIe-2; woodland group 4C)
Local Alluvial Land
Alluvial deposits that have been washed fairly short
distances from other areas are mapped as Local alluvial
land.
Local alluvial land (Lo).—This land type is distributed
throughout the county, but it is not important for a-ri-
culture, because of its small acreage. It is gently sloping
and consists of well drained to moderately well drained
local alluvial material waslied from sandy soils of the up-
lands. The -areas are in dr.ainageways and at the base of
slopes where fresh material is ad6d frequently is the
result of overwash and deposition. The slope is 0 to 2
percent..
The soil material in this land type is 24 inches or more
thick. The color ranges from grayish brown to yellowish
red, but it is commonly gravish brown to light yellowish
brown. The texture ranges from loamy sand through clay
loam, but in most places it is sandy loam or fine sandy
loam. Tliere is no structural development.
IV, ithin some areas of this land type, there is a soil that
has a surface laver of sanely loam and a subsoil of yellow,
to vellowish-red clay loam.
Local alluvial land is near soils of the uplands. The
areas that are light colored and that have a texture of
sandy loam are generally near the Cecil and Appling soils.
The darker colored, finer textured areas are near the Cecil
and Lloyd soils. In places this land type is near the Starr
soils and is in similar positions, but it is made lip of more
recent deposits than the Starr soils and lacks distinct
horizons. ,
The soil material in this land type is medium to low
in fertility and is low in organic matter. It has medium
available «.ter capacity and moderate to rapid permeabil-
ity. The soil material is friable and has good tilth.
Local nlluvinl land can be used for cultivated crops and
for grnsses that are suited to this area, and it can also be
used to grow trees. The seas are sniall, and they are,
therefore, generally used the same .s surrounding areas.
(Capability unit IIe-1; woodland group 1)
Louisa Series
The Louisa series is made up of moderately shallow to
shallow, sloping to steep, excessively drained soils of the
uplands. The soils consist of light yellowish -brown to
brown and reddisli-yellow, very friable fine sandy loam or
sandy loam that contains many mica flakes. In places the
subsoil is red to reddisli-vello�v, friable loam that contains
many large mica flakes and is 3 to 0 inches thick. The
bedrock of mica gneiss and mica schist is at a depth of
11/,, to 3 feet in most places.
In Iredell County the Louisa soils are mapped only in
undifferentiated units with the Louisburg soils. A profile
of a Louisa. soil is described under Louisburg and Louisa
soils, 25 to 55 percent slopes, in the Louisburg series.
Louisburg Series
71
The Louisburg series consists of soils that are moder-
ately shallow to shallow over bedrock. The soils are on
uplands, are excessively drained, and are sloping to
steep. The surface layer is light yellowish -brown, or
brownish -yellow to dark grayish -brown, very friable
sandy loam or fine sanely loam. In most places it is
underlain by light yellowish -brown to yellowish -brown,
very friable sandy loam. In some places there is a thin,
discontinuous B horizon of yellowish -brown to strong -
brown, very friable sandy clay loam that is 2 to 4 inches
thick, but in most places this layer is lacking. The bed-
rock of granite and granite gneiss is at a depth of 2 to 4
feet in most places.
These soils are near the Cecil, Appling, and Wilkes
soils. They are not so well developed, are shallower over
bedrock, and contain more sand throughout the profile
than the Cecil and Appling soils. Also, they are less red
than the Cecil soils. In most places the Louisburg soils
have more sand throughout the profile than the Wilkes
soils and contain a smaller amount of dark -colored
minerals.
The Louisburg soils are low in fertility and in organic
matter. They are strongly acid and have low avalla'ble
water capacity and rapid permeability.
These soils are in most parts of the county, but they are
not important for agriculture, because they are suited to'
only a few crops. Most of the acreage is in trees, but
some areas are in crops or are used for pasture, and some
of the acreage is idle.
In Iredell County the Louisburg soils are mapped only
in undifferentiated mapping units with .the Louisa soils.
The soils are.mapped together because they occur in sim-
ilar positions and are used and managed the same.
Louisburg and Louisa soils, 25 to 55 percent slopes
(LuF).—Tliese soils are shallow over bedrock. They are
very friable and are excessively drained.. The A horizon
is commonly light yellowish -brown or brownish -yellow to
dark grayish -brown, very friable sandy loam or fine sandy
loam. In some places it contains pebbles of mica and
schist. In most places the B horizon is lacking, but, if
it is present, it is reel to yellowish -reel, or yellowish -brown
to strong -brown, friable clay loam or sandy clay loam.
The C horizon is light yellowish -brown to yellowish -brown
or brown to reddish -yellow, very friable sanely loam that
contains mica in some places.
The following describes a profile of a Louisburg soil
taken in a forest, 2 miles west of Brawley School, five -
eighths mile north of the intersection and 900 feet east of
the road:
inches to 1/ inch of a mixture of litter from hardwoods
and pines.
Ao—? inch or less of dark -gray, partly decomposed and de-
composed organic matter.

Subject: Permit No. NCG550000
Authorization to Construct
Becker Residence
Iredell County
. A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received July 18,1994 by the Division and
final plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and found to be satisfactory.
Authorization is hereby granted for the construction of 360 gallon per day septic system consisting of a
1500 gallon septic tank, 1500 gallon dosing/pumping tank, a 180.5 square foot recirculating sand filter,
two flow dividers in a concrete access box, a tablet chlorinator and cascade aeration with discharge of
treated wastewater into McCrary Creek Cove in the Catawba River Basin.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph 2 of NPDES
Permit No. NCG550689 issued June 15, 1994, and shall be subject to revocation unless the wastewater
treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in Permit No.
NCG550689.
The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be dispQ.sed of in accordance with G.S.
143-215.1 and iri'a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the cre_ ation 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.
The Mooresville Regional Office, telephone number (704) 663-1699, shall be notified at least
forty-eight (48) hours in advance of operation of the installed facilities so that an in -place inspection can be
r7M._%Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made during the normal office hours from 8:00
until 5.00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding State Holidays.
Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification
must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in
accordance with the NPDES Permit, this Authorization to Construct and the approved plans and
specifications. Mail the Certification to the Permits and Engineering Unit, P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, NC
27626-0535.
A copy of the approved plans and specifications shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for the
life of the facility.

The sand media of the recirculating sand filter must comply with the Division's sand specifications.
The engineer's certification will be evidence that this certification has been met.
A leakage test shall be performed on the septic tank and dosing tank to insure that any exfiltration
occurs at a rate which does not exceed twenty (20) gallons per twenty-four (24) .hour per 1,000 gallons of
tank capacity. The engineer's certification will serve as proof of compliance with this condition.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Authorization to Construct -may subject the
Permittee -to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in accordance with
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C.
The issuance of this Authorization to Construct does not preclude the Permittee from complying
with any and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which. may be imposed by other government
