Please be advised that operation of a wastewater treatment system without a valid
permit will subject the owner to a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day. If you wish to
operate this facility in the future, you must first apply for and receive a permit. By copy of
this letter, I am requesting our Raleigh Regional Office to confirm that operation has ceased
at this facility. Appropriate enforcement actions will be initiated for facilities found still to
be in operation.
Nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving you of the responsibility for civil
penalty assessments for past or future violations for operation of a wastewater treatment
system and/or making a discharge to the surface waters without a valid permit.
If you have any questions, please contact Rex Gleason, Water Quality Regional
Supervisor, Mooresville Regional Office at 704/663-1699 or me at 919/733-5083, ext.

Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NCO083453 was
issued on May 31, 1994 for the discharge of wastewater to the
surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of
this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and
the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit.' If you have not already done so, it
is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular
importance are Pages 4-5.
Pages 4-5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge (s). Your discharge(s) must not
exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your
discharge (or operation), you must . initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the
reporting forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not
received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail
to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as
possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting
form (DEM Form-MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form.

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
3. EMC
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. Mass/Dav 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 were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part 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 Part 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 Partj 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
year. 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
Part 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 isthegeometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part 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
"Dailv Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part 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
Part 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
Page 3 of 14
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow. (MGD): 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:
(1) 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 than1/24 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
intervals 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
between 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. For 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. However, 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.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.
SECTION B. GENERAL. CONDITIONS
1. Duty to Coma?
The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any. permit noncompliance
constitutes a violation .of the Clean Water Act and is -grounds for enforcement action; for permit
termination, revocation and.reissuance, or modification; or, denial of a permit renewal
application.
a. The permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under
section 307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants and with standards for sewage

OLD MOUNTAIN ROAD, SR 1005
SHTLOH TOWNSHIP
IREDELL COUNTY, NC
1. PROPOSED FLOW
The proposed flow will be generated by a shopping center
complex proposed by the owner, Mr. Ernest R. Runge. The
proposed shopping center will be located on the east side of
the Old Mountain Road, SR 1005, approximately 1,600 feet
north of the exit ramp of the'westbound.lane of Interstate
40 and near the headwaters of Back Creek. The proposed
shopping center will consist of.a retail food store, a drug
store, two fast food restaurants, a branch bank, a full
service restaurant, and six local shops. The food store and
restaurants will provide their own on site
p grease retention
systems. Design flows have been determined in accordance
with Rule 2H .0219(1) and are shown in the following chart:
Food store: 30,000 SF @ 120 GPD%1000 SF= 2,000 GPD
Drug store: 8,000 SF @ 120 GPD/1000 SF= 960 GPD
Local shops: 6,000 SF @ 120 GPD/1000 SF 720 GPD
Fast Food: 50 Seats @ 40 GPD7seat = 2,000 GPD
Fast Food: 100 Seats @ 40 GPD/seat = 4,000 GPD
Restaurant: 150 Seats @ 50 GPD/seat = 7,500 GPD
Bank: 2,000 SF @ 120.GPD/1000 SF= 240 GPD
TOTAL, 17,420 GPD
: 2_._ DESIGN CONS I DERAT I.ON S
Four non -discharge alternatives were analyzed for the
treatment of'the proposed wastewater described in paragraph
1 above.
The first alternative considered was 'extending the sanitary
sewer lines from the City of Statesville to the Third Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant (permit number NC 0020591).' The
Third Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant has.a capacity of
47000,000 gallons per day and is operating at near. capacity.
Therefore, it is questionable whether the City of
Statesville could accept the wastewater flow from the.
proposed shopping center. The. extension/would involve 6.0
miles of sanitary sewer line extension, annexation into the
City of Statesville, and several third party easements for
right of ways across private property owners. See attached
map and cost estimate that does not 'including engineering or
right of way acquistions. There are no plans for a Planned
Sewerage System for this area as indicated by the Iredell
County Engineer, Mr. Carson Fisher.
Paae - 1

The second alternative considered was an on site septic and`-
nitrification system. Preliminary reports from Mr. Toney C.
Jacobs, Consulting Soil Scientist, and the Iredell County
Health Department indicate that the land area required for
the nitrification lines including repair area for this
alternative is 15 acres. The applicant, Mr. Runge, does
not currently own 15 acres of available and suitable land
for an on site septic and nitrification system nor can
adjacent land be acquired through purchase or permanent
easement.
The third alternative considered was a Spray Irrigation
System. However, since a Spray Irrigation System requires
more land area than the nitrification system, it remains
that the applicant does not currently own land that is
available and suitable for a spray irrigation system nor can
adjacent land be acquired through purchase or permanent
easement for a spray irrigation system.
The fourth alternative considered was a drip irrigation
system. However, a drip irrigation system does not require
significantly less .land area than a conventional
nitrification system, therefore it remains that the
applicant_ does not currently own land that is available and
suitable for a drip irrigation system nor can adjacent land
be acquired through purchase or permanent easement for a
drip irrigation system.
Therefore, the four non -discharge alternatives evaluated .are
found to be environmently infeasible.
3._ _NARRATIVE ..DESCRIPTION_, -OF ... PROP_OSED.,._,TREATMENT_. WORKS ;
The proposed wastewater treatment system shall consist of
influent screening, an aeration basin, a settling basin, a
chlorine contact basin, a sludge digestor, and a V-notch
weir at effluent; see attached description and sketch
prepared by Mr. Steven Lambert, Environmental Consulting
Operating Services. The system shall be two parallel 20,000
gallon plants capable of treating 20,000 gallons per day of.
the wastewater described above and. discharging the
wastewater to Back Creek (within 500 feet of the subject
property and no third party easements will be required)
within the limits prescribed by the Discharge Permit issued
by the State of North Carolina. 'Plant 1 will have 15.,000
gallons of retention volume f-or flow equalization. The
remaining 25,000 gallons capacity will provide 30 hours of
detention time. The proposed.system,will have a
declorination system and a tertiary filtration system
capable of filtering 25,000 gallons per day. See attached
report of 7Q10 and 3.OQ2 flows for the headwaters of Back
Creek prepared by Mr. Robert R. Mason, -Hydrologist, Water
Resources Division, .Geological Survey, United States

Department of the Interior dated April 30, 1993. A solid
waste management plan, prepared by the applicant, Mr. Runge,.
is also attached.

Reference: Results and recommendation for the 3.9 acre
commercial tract on Old Mountain Road
Dear Earnest,
This report considers the back 2/3 of the tract as potential septic area. This area has
mostly useable soil, although some is more suited to an LPP system. The problem is
landscape position which concentrates and then. holds water, rather than allowing it to flow
laterally to surface drains or off the .property. Figure 1 is the USGS topo, which is of
minimal value. Figure 2 is a rough topo from my field observations.
I think that a V interval site topo would be valuable in, planning both the
development potential of the lot and possible renovations to micro relief to improve the
overall area. Presently of the 2.5Ac considered, probably less than one-half could be
considered provisionally suitable. With renovations, which would involve surface swales, tile
drains, diversion ditches, interceptor drains and slight cut and fill work, I think this could be
increased to 3/4 or more. These numbers do not include. necessary. setbacks.
Site Investigations * Soil Surveys * On -Site Waste Disposal * Soil and Water Resource Data Evaluations * Radon Testing

I would recommend. the following:
* a 1' interval topo
i
* that I work with Gerald Grant on a renovation, plan
I * consulting the Health Department (as a courtesy) about plans.
,I
f+ * make improvements, seed and mulch area
* let yourinvestments grow until you are ready to build
If there are any questions about these recommendations, please give me a call.
Thank you for this opportunity, and I look forward to working with you until plans
are brought to fruition.
j At your service,

1 Health Director
July 26, 1993
Ernest Runge
Route 3, Box A-234
Statesville, NC 28677
Dear Mr. Runge:
On July 22, 1991 Steve Brown, Environmental Health Specialist
with the Iredell County Health Department, wrote you concerning the
soils/site evaluation conducted on a 3.9 acre tract on Old Mountain
Road across from Zimmer Patient Care. A copy of that letter is
enclosed.
According to that documentation, the entire 3.9 acres contains
soils that can be utilized for ground absorption sewage disposal
systems. However, only a small area behind.the adjacent two story
frame house. as noted on the property survey contains soils best
suited for.septic tank systems. Any system located outside this
area would have. to be specially designed to overcome the
limitations of the poorer quality soils.
Given the high daily waste flow you anticipate from the ,
proposed development at this site, this 3.9 acre site may be
insufficient to locate the shopping complex, parking area; and the

Dear Mr. Runge:
This letter is to acknowledge that a representative of the Iredell
County Health Department has conducted a preliminary site and soil evaluation
on a 3.9 acre tract of land located on Old Mountain Road approximately one-
fourth mile north of I-40W and across from Zimmer and Associated Packaging
Plants.
As a result of soil core borings it was determined that this tract can
be considered provisionally suitable to accept a ground absorption'sewage
treatment and disposal system for a business. However, the type of operation
or business must be indicated and identified before an Improvements Permit can
be issued by this department. Such criteria as exact location and size of the
operation, distance to water supply, property lines and topography factors
would need to be evaluated prior to site approval.
In view of the different areas evaluated on this tract, there is a
difference in the soil application rate. The rates vary -from a.2 gal/sq.ft.
to. a .4 gal./sq.ft. It will be highly recommended to utilize the area with
the highest application rate for the location of.the sewage disposal system:
In addition a 100% repair area will be required for the original installation.
SB/mb
If I can be of further assistance please feel free to contact me.

Dear Mr. Runge:
In response to your request for low -flow data, the U.S. Geological Survey does not have si-te-
specific data for Back Creek headwater near Celeste Hinkel, North Carolina (station ID
021194558). The statistics that are provided on the attached sheet have been computed by
techniques described in U.S. Geological Survey Open -File Report 90-399, "Low -Flow
Characteristics -Of Streams In North Carolina. They reflect natural streamflow conditions and
do not account for the effects of any diversion or regulation that may be present.
The U.S. Geological Survey provides timely water -resources information and data through a
variety of scientific and technical publications and data reports. For many years, the Survey
also has processed special requests for water -resources information free of charge. Because
of the increase in volume of special requests along with budget reductions imposed by the
Gramm -Rudman -Hollings Budget Deficit Reduction Act, the -Survey rill no longer be able to
process special requests free of charge.
A'charge for accessing and processing information has been assessed to partially offset these
costs. Your requested data and an invoice covering processing costs for these data are
attached. Please forward the original bill with your check to the U.S. Geological Survey,
12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, MS 271, Reston, VA 22092..
These. data are preliminary and subject to revision pending approval for publication by the
Director of the U.S. Geological Survey, and are made available through our cooperative
program of water -resources investigations with the North Carolina Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources.

Dear Mr. Runge:
Our conversation was pleasant and very informative yesterday, and I appreciate your time
and trouble. Please find attached a copy of a cross-section of a basic Waste -Water Treatment
Plant. I hope this gives you an idea of its function.
In short, raw sewage is screened to remove large debris and enters the Aeration Tank.
The Aeration Tank contains a Biomass which exists in the sludge. The diffusers in the Aeration
Tank introduce air from the blowers to provide oxygen for the Biomass. The Biomass eats, the
pollutants in the sewage and produces a floc. floc is coagulated solids and will settle readily
under the correct conditions.
The flow containing the flocculated material enters the Clarifier and settles. The clear
water left from this settling action overflows the Clarifier weir and is chlorinated to kill
pathogens. After chlorination, the effluent is then allowed to proceed to the receiving stream.
Settled sludge in the Clarifier is pumped back to the entrance of the Aeration Tank to
return Biomass to the Aeration Tank to perpetuate the process previously described.
Excess Biomass must be pumped into the Digester or Waste Sludge Holding Tank.
Diffusers in this tank provide air for further digestion and prevent odors. A septic tanker must
be hired to clean this out and properly dispose of the solids one or more times a year.
Other components may be necessary, but these are the Basics. We offer consulting and
operating services covering pre -construction, construction, and operation of water and waste-
water systems. UST removals, industrial pretreatment, and phased studies or pilot testing -are
also available. Feel free to contact me on any environmental matter, and if we can help you,
we will certainly make ourselves available.
Sincerely,
Steven Lambert, ECOS

Dear Mr. Runge:
The Division has performed additional review of the subject permit application. Upon further
review, it has been determined that the following items must be addressed before further processing of the
NPDES application can proceed:
1) Given the "low strength" 'nature of the waste expected from this project and the history of
problems with treating waste from similar sources, other disposal options such as drip
irrigation should be considered. Please submit report which evaluates all other discharge
options.
2), If other discharge options prove to be infeasible, a plan for phasing up to the ultimate design
capacity should be considered. Such phasing may 'include a dual train plant with the capability
of shutting off one side or two smaller plants connected in parallel. Such.a system would
allow for greater operational flexibility if growth at the shopping center is less than expected.
Refer to.the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. Please
submit two- copies of all information to my -attention at the address below. Also, please
note that failure to provide this additional information on or before November 29, 1093 will subject your
application to being returned as incomplete.
If you have any questions on this matter, please call me at 919/ 733-5083, extension 516.

4. SIC Code(s): 5812
Wastewater Code(s): 10, 02
5. MTU Code(s): 06007
PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant
Funds or are any public monies involved (municipals only)?
No
2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity)
requests: None at this time.

Page Three
3. Important SOC/JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: N/A
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation
a. Spray Irrigation: Insufficient area available for a
conventional spray irrigation system, however, the
applicant should consider other irrigation options
(such as drip irrigation) since a soils evaluation of
this site revealed provisionally suitable soils and
only a portion of the site will be utilized for the
proposed development.
b. Connect to regional sewer system: None available to the
site nor does it appear to be economically feasible to
extend sewer to this location.
C. Subsurface:. A soils evaluation found some useable
soils, however, sufficient area was not available for
the entire development.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant proposes to construct a commercial development
consisting of fast food restaurants, a drug store, a food store
and a bank. Total flow estimated by the applicant's engineer is
estimated to be 0.01742 MGD. The applicant proposes to treat the
wastewater generated from these establishments"with an activated
sludge (package type) WWTP.
Prior experience with treating wastewater from similar
sources poses potential operational problems that should be
addressed prior to Permit issuance. The primary concern is the
anticipated "low strength" waste generated from facilities of
this type. Typically, the main component of wastewater from
establishments of this type is urine, which contains very little
food for maintaining healthy biomass. This "weak" wastewater
makes it difficult for an operator to maintain the biological
activity in an activated sludge process.. Furthermore, flows from
these facilities fluctuate significantly, further impeding
effective WWTP operation. Equalization, as well as dechlorination,
is recommended in the design of these facilities. Therefore,
further evaluation of all nondischarge options (including drip
irrigation) is recommended.
This development is proposed to be constructed in phases as
tenants are added to the shopping center. Construction of a 0.020
MGD facility will be difficult to operate due to the initial low
volumes of wastewater that can be expected. It is recommended
that the applicant consider two (2) smaller WW7 facilities (such
as two 0.010 MGD facilities) connected in parallel in lieu of one
large facility. This will provide greater operational
flexibility as the development expands, and greater control over
wastewater treatment should economic conditions stymie growth.

Page Four
Pending receipt of the information requested above, a
determination that a nondischarge option does not exist at this
site, and the finding of positive 7Q10 flow at the proposed point
of discharge, it is recommended that an NPDES Permit be issued
(pending final approval of the WLA).

ENGINEERING REPORT
SANITARY SEWER-DISCHARGE.PERMIT
ERNEST R. RUNGE
OLD MOUNTAIN ROAD, SR 1005
SHILOH TOWNSHIP
IREDELL COUNTY, NC
1. PROPOSED _FLOW
The proposed flow will be generated by a shopping center
complex proposed by the owner, Mr. Ernest R. Runge. The
proposed shopping center will be located on the east side of
the Old Mountain Road, SR 1005, approximately 1,600 feet
north of the exit ramp of the westbound lane of Interstate
40 and near the headwaters of Back Creek. The proposed
shopping center will consist of a retail food store, a drug
store, two fast food restaurants, a branch bank, a full
service restaurant, and six local shops. The food store and
restaurants will provide their own on site grease retention
systems. Design flows have been determined in accordance
with Rule 2H .0219(1) and are shown in the following chart:
Food store: 30,000 SF @ 120 GPD/1000 SF= 2,000 GPD
Drug store: 8,000 SF @ 120 GPD/1000 SF= 960 GPD
Local shops: 6,000 SF @ 120 GPD/1000 SF= 720 GPD
Fast.Food: 50 Seats @ 40 GPD/seat = 2,000 GPD
Fast Food: 100 Seats @ 40 GPD/seat = 4,000 GPD
Restaurant: 150 Seats @ 50 GPD/seat = 7,500 GPD
Bank: 2,000 SF @ 120 GPD/1000 SF= 240 GPD.
TOTAL 17„.420 GPD
2. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Three non -discharge alternatives were analyzed for the
treatment of the proposed wastewater described in paragraph
1 above.
The first alternative considered was extending the sanitary
sewer lines from the City of Statesville to the Third Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant (permit number NC 0020591). The
Third Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant has a capacity of
4,000,000 gallons per day and is operating at near capacity.
Therefore, it is questionable whether the City of
Statesville could accept the wastewater flow from the
proposed shopping cen'Cet. The extension would involve 6.0
miles of sanitary sewer line extension, annexation into the
City of Statesville, and several third party easements for
right of ways across private property owners. See attached
map and cost estimate that does not including engineering or
right of way acquistions. There are no plans for a Planned
Sewerage System for this area as indicated by the Iredell
County Engineer, Mr. Carson Fisher.
Paae -.1

The second alternative considered was an on site septic and
nitrification system. Preliminary reports from Mr. Toney C.
Jacobs, Consulting Soil Scientist, and the Iredell County
Health Department indig.at-e-that the land area required for
the nitrification lines including repair area for this
alternative is 15 acres. The applicant, Mr. Runge, does
not currently own 15 acres of available and suitable land
for an on site septic and nitrification system nor can
adjacent land be acquired through purchase or permanent
easement.
The third alternative considered was a Spray Irrigation
System. However, since a Spray Irrigation System requires
more land area than the nitrification system, it remains
that the applicant does not currently own land that is
available and suitable for a spray irrigation system nor can
adjacent land be acquired through purchase or permanent
easement for a spray irrigation system.
Therefore, the three non -discharge alternatives evaluated
are found to be environmently infeasible.
3. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED TREATMENT WORKS
The proposed wastewater treatment system shall consist of,
influent screening, an aeration basin, a settling basin, a
chlorine contact basin, a sludge digestor, and a V-notch
weir at effluent; see attached description and sketch
prepared by Mr. Steven Lambert, Environmental Consulting
Operating Services. The system shall be capable of treating
20,000 gallons per day of the wastewater described above and
discharging the wastewater to Back Creek (within 500 feet of
the subject property and no third party easements will be
required) within the limits prescribed by the Discharge
Permit issued by the State of North Carolina. See attached
report of 7Q10 and 30Q2 flows for the headwaters of Back
Creek prepared by Mr. Robert R. Mason, Hydrologist, Water
Resources Division, Geological Survey, United States
Department of the Interior dated April 30, 1993. A solid
waste management plan, prepared by the applicant, Mr. Runge,
is also attached.

Reference: Results and recommendation for the 3.9 acre
commercial tract on Old Mountain Road
Dear Earnest,
This report considers the back 2/3 of the tract as potential septic area. This area has
mostly useable soil, although some is more suited to an LPP system. The problem is
landscape position which concentrates and then holds water, rather than allowing it to flow
laterally to surface drains or off the property. Figure 1 is the USGS topo, which is of
minimal value. Figure 2 is a rough topo from my field observations.
I think that a 1' interval site topo would be valuable in planning both the
development potential of the lot and possible renovations to micro relief to improve the
overall area. Presently of the 2.5Ac considered, probably less than one-half could be
considered provisionally suitable. With renovations, which would involve surface swales, tile
drains, diversion ditches, interceptor drains and slight cut and fill work, I think this.could be
increased to 3/4 or more. These numbers do not include necessary setbacks.
r
Site Investigations * Soil Surveys * On -Site Waste Disposal * Soil and Water Resource Data Evaluations * Radon Testing

I would recommend the following:
* a 1' interval topo
* that I work with Gerald Grant on a renovation plan
consulting the Health Department (as a courtesy) about plans
I
* make improvements, seed and mulch area
* let your investments grow until you are ready to build
If there are any questions about these recommendations, please give me a call.
i
Thank you for this opportunity, and I look forward to working with you until plans
are brought to fruition.
At your service,
Tony C. Jacobs, CPSS

Dear Mr. Runge:
On July 22, 1991 Steve Brown, Environmental Health Specialist
with the Iredell County Health Department, wrote _you concerning the
soils/site evaluation conducted on a 3.9 acre tract on Old Mountain
Road across from Zimmer Patient Care. A copy of that letter is
enclosed.
According to that documentation, the entire 3.9 acres contains
soils that can be utilized for ground absorption sewage disposal
systems. However, only a small area behind the adjacent two story
frame house ,as noted on the property survey contains soils best
suited for.septic tank systems. Any system located outside this
area would, have' to be specially designed to overcome the
limitations of the poorer quality soils.
Given the high daily waste flow you anticipate from the
proposed development at this site, this 3.9 acre site may be
insufficient to locate the shopping complex, parking area, and the
septic system/100% repair area needed to serve such a facility..
Should you wish to provide a detailed proposed site development
plan to the health department our staff could then be more specific
in our -assessment of this property as to its ability to meet your
waste disposal needs.
Please let me know if our office can be of more assistance to
you.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Runge:
This letter is to acknowledge that a representative of the Iredell
County Health Department has conducted a preliminary site and soil evaluation
on a 3.9 acre tract of land located on Old Mountain Road approximately one-
fourth mile north of I-40W and across from Zimmer and Associated Packaging
Plants.
As a result of soil core borings it was determined that this tract can
be considered provisionally suitable to accept a ground absorption sewage
treatment and disposal system for a business. However, the type of operation
or business must be indicated and identified before an Improvements Permit can
be issued by this department. Such criteria as exact location and size of the
operation, distance to water supply, property lines and topography factors
would need to be evaluated prior to site approval.
In view of the different areas evaluated on this tract, there is a
difference in the soil application rate. The rates vary from a,2 gal/sq.ft.
to a .4 gal./sq.ft. It will be highly recommended to utilize the area with
the highest application rate for the location of'the sewage disposal system.
In addition a 100% repair area will be required for the original installation.
If I can be of further assistance please feel free to contact me.

Dear Mr. Runge:
TAKE ® va
MDEw-
In response to your request for low -flow data, the U.S. Geological Survey does not have site -
specific data for Back Creek headwater near Celeste Hinkel, North Carolina (station ID
021194558). The statistics that are provided on the attached sheet have been computed by
techniques described in U.S. Geological Survey Open -File Report 90-399, "Low -Flow
Characteristics Of Streams In North Carolina. They reflect natural streamflow conditions and
do not account for the effects of any diversion or regulation that may be present.
The U.S. Geological Survey provides timely water -resources information and data through a
variety of scientific and technical publications and data reports. For many years, the Survey
also has processed special requests for water -resources information free of charge. Because
of the increase in volume of special requests along with budget reductions imposed by the
Gramm -Rudman -Hollings Budget Deficit Reduction Act, the Survey will no longer be able to
process special requests free of charge.
A charge for accessing and processing information has been assessed to partially offset these
costs. Your requested data and an invoice covering p.rocessi.ng costs for these data are
attached. Please forward the original bill with your check to the U.S. Geological Survey,
12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, MS 271, Reston, VA 22092.
These data are preliminary and subject to revision pending approval for publication by the
Director of the U.S. Geological Survey, and, are made available through our cooperative
program of water -resources investigations with the North Carolina Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources.

"At ECOS WE SOLVE PROBLEMS."
Our conversation was pleasantand'very informative yesterday, and I appreciate your time
and trouble. Please find attached a copy of a cross-section of a basic Waste -Water Treatment
Plant. I hope this gives you an idea of its function.
In short, raw sewage is screened to remove large debris and enters the Aeration Tank.
The Aeration Tank contains a Biomass which exists in the sludge. The diffusers in the Aeration
Tank introduce air from the blowers to provide oxygen for the Biomass. The Biomass eats the
pollutants in the sewage and produces a floc. floc is coagulated solids and will settle readily
under the correct conditions.
The flow containing the flocculated material enters the Clarifier and settles. The clear
water left from this settling action overflows the Clarifier weir and is chlorinated to kill
pathogens. After chlorination, the effluent is then allowed to proceed to the receiving stream.
Settled sludge in the Clarifier is pumped back to the entrance of the Aeration Tank to
return Biomass to the Aeration Tank to perpetuate the process previously described.
Excess Biomass must be pumped into the Digester or Waste Sludge Holding Tank.
Diffusers in this tank provide air for further digestion and prevent odors. A septic tanker must
be hired to clean this out and properly dispose of the solids one or more times a year.
Other components may be necessary, but these are the Basics. We offer consulting and
operating services covering pre -construction, construction, and operation of water and waste-
water systems. UST removals, industrial pretreatment, and phased studies or pilot testing are
also available. Feel free to contact me on any environmental matter, and if we can help you,
we will certainly make ourselves available.

The facility discharges to a zero 7Q10 and positive 30Q2 stream, so 15A NCAC 2B .0206 (d)(1)v
will be applicable. The applicant requested this information through USGS. For new discharges'
into 7Q10s = 0, limits of BOD5=5 mg/l , NH3-N=2 mg/l, DO=6 mg/1 will be applied.
These limits should only be applied if discharge is deemed the most feasible alternative by P&E
and the region. cr

TO: Sean Goris
FROM: Susan A. Wilsonti
THROUGH: Carla Sanderson
SUBJECT: Proposed Ernest H. Runge Shopping Center (NPDES No. NC0083453)
Back Creek, Yadkin River Basin
Iredell County
The proposed point of discharge for the Ernest H. Runge Shopping Center is near the
headwaters.of Back Creek in the Yadkin River Basin. The approximate drainage area at
this point -is less than 0.5 square miles. Based on information available to the Rapid
Assessment Group; this hydrogeographic area yields flows of 0 cfs for drainage areas less
than 0.5 square miles. Per 15A NCAC 2B .0206 '(d) (2), no new discharges of oxygen
consuming waste will be allowed if the 7Q10s and 30Q2 are estimated to be zero.
The applicant may request confirmation of the flows at the proposed point of discharge
directly through USGS by contacting Amy Fogelman at (9.19) 571- 4069. A fee is
associated with any request for flows. The applicant. should.keep in mind that the Division
considers any flow less than 0.05 cfs to be zero flow.
Also, the Rapid Assessment Group considers the engineering reportsubmitted -by the
applicant to be inadequate. Should a feasible discharge point be found in future
investigations, the facility should provide more documentation with regard to spray
irrigation and septic system.
