Darr. OF Through: Bob Check JUL 22 16 From David Goodrich lil � tflittF�t.4t ttE€�tl' Subject: Vulcan Materials t � tE t �tttt Drip Irrigation System Mecklenburg County (Ray six: DEM SERG Review Engineer) The Groundwater Section has received the subject permit application to install a 150 gallon per day drip irrigation system to disperse of domestic wastewater can an application area of 10,000 square feet (see Figures 1. and 2). The domestic wastewater treatment system at this quarry facility will be consist of a 1. 0- allon septic tank, followed by gravity flaw to a surface sand filter, a chlorinator, a dosing tank, and surface treatment with a drip control s ste e` proposed application rate represents a loading rate of 0.1 inches per week (8.76 inches per year) , which is below the rate of 0.2 inches per week (10.4 inches per gear) recommended by the soil scientist e ovmer proposes to fence in the absorption field, and to ever the surface laterals of the drip irrigation system with a four -inch cover of wood chip mulch. The site soil evaluation included the installation of auger hales in the application area to depths ranging from 17 inches to seven feet, and reportedly no evidence of a seasonal high water table was encountered. Mounding beneath the drip irrigation area was modeled by the Groundwater Section sae the Colorado Mate University mounding model known as Arlificial Recharge. Assuming a seasonal high water table elevation seven feet below land surface and that the recast conservative soil percolation rate of 0.06 inches per hour was isotropic beneath the site, the program projected a mound height of 5.3 feet after ten years of continuous + leading. Mounding does not appear to be a concern at this site. The nearest well is reportedly; more than 400 feet from the drip irrigation field. The local topography of the site suggests that groundwater flaw is to the west-southwest, which is away from neighboring development according to the materials i PW submitted in the application package. The Groundwater Section used the Flotrans contaminant transport model to simulate the potential transport of nitrogen from the drip irrigation system, using a loading concentration of 50 mg/l and no degradation. 'Me results of the modeling suggested that, assuming a water level gradient of less than 1%, the 1 mg/l concentration contour would migrate 60 feet downgradient from the edge of the application area in five years' time, Based on the information provided as part of the application package, the Groundwater Section does not believe that groundwater monitoring is necessary at this facility. The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit application and recommends issuance of the permit with the following conditions: 1. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be provided, 2. ne COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary is for the disposal system constructed after December 31, 1983 is established at either (1) 250 feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6A(a) (1) - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BQDARY is established 'around the disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. Any exceedance of standards at the Review Boundary shall require remediation. action on the part of the permittee, 3. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high water table is less than three feet below land surface. 4. 'The annual administering and compliance fee must be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly may cause the Division to initiate action to revoke this permit as specified by 15 NCAC 21-1,CI 205(c)(4).

PART IV EVALUATION ND TIC Vulcan Materials Company v requests issuance of a Permit to construct and operate a drip irrigation WWT system to serge the Scales Building at a proposed quarry to he hilt in i ec County. The Scales Building will house a maximum of six employees. Initial soils evaluations revealed an unsuitable soil type for the installation of a conventional ground absorption W'WT stem septic tank/nitrification field). VMC has chosen to install a drip irrigation WWT system, which will maximize the ability of the A horizon to allow percolations into the soil profile. A surface drainage ;interceptor ditch positioned above the drip field mill minimize surface water impacts. Site clearing is extremely: important in the long term life of this system, The surface soil horizon is probably .THE most important aspect in determining site life. Therefore, clearing should he kept to an absolute minimum and he limited to hand removal of small hushes, trees and undergrowth. Larger inches in diameter), more established trees should be left can -site and will ultimately aid in wastewater uptake and removal. Should any mechanical equipment be necessary to remove existing vegetation, access should only he to equipment having rubber tires no track - type graders). A condition should he included in the Permit that addresses the cone rns'noted above. Appropriate buffers (those developed by the M O and currently being used with other recently issued drip irrigation Permits) should he included in this Permit upon issuance...

The massive strtict;ure was friable and crushed to a weak subangular structure, One hate was augered to 7' with no difficulty, A floating rock was encountered at 17' in Hole 2. No less than two chrome mottles were observed in any hole. Also, no free water was observed during the soil investigation. The mixed mineralogy B horizon will be the limiting factor for vertical water movement It is not expected that hard bedrock will be present in the upper 7' of the soil/saprolite sequence, but surface and floating is subsurface rock will be present These should hinimurn impact as the B horizon is the limiting factor. No site specific hydraulic conductivity (Ksat] measurements were made. The lowest SCS. reported conductivities were accepted for calculating water balance and loading recommendations. According to SCS, the permeability of the most restrictive horizon is .06 -.2 inches/hr. The 0.06*/hr is used to establish the drainage portion of the total water budget Using the calculations [worksheat IA), the drainage of the most restrictive horizon is 4.4� per month using the 10% permeability tate recommended by EPA. There were no gullies or rills on the site to indicate accelerated erosion. In there was no indication in the litter that water had moved the leaf mulch cover, it is expected that most, if not all, of the water enters the soil profile. Five composite site specific soil samples were collected. These have . been submitted to NCDA to obtain 'both a vertical and horizontal p�ofile of cation exchange capacity (CEC). pH, and nutrient sWtus. Results of the NCOA soil test analysis will be forwarded as they are received. The subsoil, where the greatest clay content- was found, is expected to have the highest CEC: Fertifity recommendations from NCDA with a -specific request for Fescue grass have been requested. Using longstanding published wastewater characteristics, concentration of t4otal Nitrogen at 50 mg/l and total Phosphorous at 25 mg/l will be insignificant to the total N and P fertility requirements for U* crop (worksheat I b). Surnry of st e recommandationg The proposed spray site does not have any streams that affect available usable area. Wells will be located in the engineering plans, but none wem found within 1 CIO' of the wetted area. The area is a broad linear slope landscape position vhth marginally NOV 30 '95 09: 54 P, 5 4 provisionally suitable soil or soil and saprolite material. This soil has a low, but adequate saturated hydraulic conductivity to move the conservatively added water during the winter when ET is at a minimum. Budget is approximately 27% of what could be applied annually. The litter and 5' of A horizon soil will readily accept the 0.2" per week of loading for was polishing and percolation into the more resVcbve zone below. Drip lines should be placed ors`2-4' spacing, There is additional acreage in the tract available for repair. The sum of ET and drainage is greater an rainfall and hydraulic loading at 0.2* per week, AJI calculations are conservatively designed with more then sufficient area for the proposed system. A very,important consideration to any system operation is depth to a confinement or a wetness condition. There were no Indications of a seasonal watertable. Most of the field is already naturally shaped with heavy leaf mulch cover. After drip lines are installed, they should boo d with mulch (chipper is excellent) for protection. If this mulch oxidizes faster than is naturally added by leaf fall, is important to protect the soil surface by°addinq additional mulch, Additions of shade tolerant bluegrass or red fescue could be used if a green look Is desired in winter. Shaping should be in i d> 100' beyond the di perimeter on the lower side he possible, This should include minor fill 'with hauled in topsoil rather then a' denuding of existing surface soils. It is very important that no depressions be let, on the surface to impound water. Two important factors of concern in sprayfield design are rainwater additions which do not readily runoff, and subsurface lateral flow Because of landscape position, a drainage it interceptor ditch should be used on this site (figure 5). Infiltration of high intensity rainfall events into the surface horizon should be slow because of soil texture and slope. It is recommended Out soil and wastewater be analyzed once each year. Such to are consistent with 6MPs. By using NCOA tab services, costs are also veryr reasonable for these tests. Interpretation of results may be by a soil or agronomy consultant or specialist from N.C. Agricultural Extension Ser-Oce. Gener I Cbmments 1 . Good landscape position. Design uses a 100' aerial window. 2. The system has good uniform slope for surface drainage. 3Good aspect to promote solar radiation and enhance evapotransporation. NOV 30 '95 09:55 P.6 5 4. Estimated K50ts indicate a profile with sufficient conductivity for conservative loading rate of 0.2"/week loading in winter. This loading rate should always give an unsaturated flow regime. 5. Even with a Minimal SY5t1em Of this size, there should be, a periodic sampling ofGoil fertility, plant vegetation (plant tissue analysis], wastewater being added, and possibly watertable. Because of possible interaction of each of these, a third party sampling by a soil scientist or agronomist Could be advantageous for promoting system longevity and workability. 6. Interpolating from longterm precipitation isohyet for N. C has near annual rainfall at 44 inches per year [Eider at al. 1 M]. This is one of the lowest in the state (Appendix 4), J Until construction, the site should be maintained as is. are should also be special conditions imposed an the contractor installing the sprayfield. This includ s prohibiting any work whip the Sits, is'wet Attention should be given to avoid the disturbance of soil or soil S*,VcWrO by W0tVJng w*nlle so" Is too wet Any field preparations should be stabilized as quickly as possible with mulch to reduce erosiont if substantial area is disturbed - Thank you for the opportunity to be of assistance with this project If questions arise about this report, plaase do not hesitate to contact me.

The recommendation for use of a surface disposal system' comes one after the Mecklenburg County Heath Department found the area s unsuitable for ,ground absorption(Appendix , and a separate' ' attempt by a succeeding luation by Toney C.

Generally, some of these; conditions, which may limit site use can be compensated for by changing the system design, however, some factors cannot be remedia , d. It is with this philosophy that this report is prepared. This report is complimentary documentation,for a design engineered by Mr. 13. Wesley ebb, P.E. Details which will be a part of that report have been omitted from this work. although this work, as ell as the design, represent a holistic approach with on -going interaction. ; HOV 30 '95 09:53 P.3 2 Eke The sprayfield is located in a rural area of Mecklenburg County [Rgure 31. Much of the rural or suburban character is because of soils which do not 'perr. All of the spray, area is wooded, The soil map shows the homes and roads near the property (Rgure 4). The area is served by private wells. An investigation or survey will give accurate information on adjoining wells. I-ocation-of wells Within 500' is referred to the design engineer. Surface water$ should also be accurately located by the design engineer or surveyor, No streams or wells were observed within 100' of the proposed sprayfield. Because of the homogeneity of the receiver site, soils in the disposal area are. addressed as a complete unit During the soil. investigation a topo of the spray area was checked frequently by handheld clinometer. 'The sprayfield is on a lineal sideslope with a 3-4% slope. Ibe proposed sprayfield is onty 100' x 100' t.23 acres) due to low daily design flow (Fig. 41. This area was surveyed duringthe soils investigation. There were many 2-3' diameter surface rocks and a few rocks >5'. Trees an the site consisted mainly of poplar, gum, smaller wild cherry and dogwoods. There were several poplar trees with a 20" diameter at breast height (D13H). No wells were associated with the dripfield or setbacks. The surveyor for the design engineer has produced an of topo of the wetted area with 100' setbacks (Fig. 5) and no artifacts of old structures which would have required a well were observed'in the area.. Soil$ The it Survey of Meridenburg County, N. C. (McCachern, 1980) has the area mapped as closely related mixed mineralogy soils. On the east is Enon sandy toam.,2 to 8 percent slopes, and to the west is Mecklenbusandy loam, 2-8 percent (Figure 4). Detailed information about each of these mapping units is supplied in Appendix 2 [MoCachern, 1980). These series are very elmilar in field descriptions and management requirements. A site specific investigation placed 3 auger holes in the immediate wetted area (Rigure 5). The holes varied in depth from 17 to 84 inches. Each of the holes is described In Appendix 3. Th :- e riptions vary. buthe re was generally about 5* of friable clay loam desct surface Over a very firm, very sdc" plastic, ixed mineralogy of horizon to 20- 30 inche& The subsurface had moder"ate - angular blocky structure and grades to at NOV 30 '95 :5 P.4 provisionally suitable soil or soil and saprolite material.

Budget is approximately of what could be applied annually" The litter and " of A horizon soil will readily accept the " per week 4. of loading for waste polishing and percolation into the more restrictive one below. Drip lines should be placed on " spacing, There is additional acreage in the tract available for repair. The sum of ET and drainage is greater then rainfall and hydraulic loading at . * per week. All calculations are conservativelydesigned with more an sufficient for the proposed system. A very,importent consideration to any system operation is depth to a confinement or a wetness condition. There were no indications of a seasonal watertable.'Most of the field is already naturally shaped with heavy leaf mulch cover., r drip lines are installed. they should be covered with mulch (chipper is excellent)forprotection. if this mulch oxidizes faster then is naturally added by leaf fall, it is important protect the sail surface adding additional mulch. Additions of shade tolerant bluegrass or red fescue could be used if a green look Is desired in Winter,' aping should be maintained 9beyond the wetted perimeter on the lower side where possible. This shouldinclude minor fill`w" hauled in topsoil rather than a denuding of existing surface soils. It is very important that no depressions be left on - the surface impound water. Two important factors of concern in sprayfield design are rainwater additions which do not readily runoff, and subsurfacelateral flow. Because of landscape position, a drainage mit interceptor di h should be used on this site (Figure 4 Infiltration high intensity rainfall events into the surface horizon should be slow because soil texture and slope. is recommended ii and wastewater be analyzed once each year, Such tests are consistent with, using NCDA lab services, coats are also ", reasonable for these tests. Interpretation of results may be by a soil or agronomy i consultant or specialist from N.C. Agricultural nsion Service. .. Good landscape position. Design uses a 9 0' aerial window.
