School - NC0030597 FairviewElementary School -NC 3f 53 Union County Dear Mr. Lowery* technical assistance visit was conducted for three Union County Public School System wastewater treatment plants on December 8, 1997. The facilities visited were Parkwood; Middle School (NCO 3fl 51); New Salem Elementary (NCO030597), and Fairview Element CO03053 . The primary focus of the visit was to identify operational air design problems that could contribute to the facilities' noncompliance with their l` P IFS permits and to suggest possible corrective actions. It is our understanding that these three facilities will not be connected to nearby sever systems in upcoming onst ction. has a result of the visit, the following comments or recommendations am offered _ 1 g The septic tank at Parlrwood Middle school is receiving flow from bath the middle school and the high school, The flow from the high school is treated in a separate septic tank prior to flowing into the septic tank at the middle school. This additional flow may decrease the efficiency of the second septic tank in terms of Biochemical Oxygen Demand l I removal and place a higher BOD loading on the recirculating sand filter. A higher BOD loading going to the Ater would reduce the ammonia removal efficiency of the filter. If the septic tank at the high school is properly sued d no additional treatment is achieved by passing the high school flow through the middle school septic tank the flow from the high school should be repiped around the middle school septic tank directly to the dosing chamber or sand filter: 2. t the time of visitation the sand filter at Parltwood Middle School was saturated with water and appeared to be slightly septic. The nitrifying bacteria in the sand filter need' an aerobic environment to function properly. An aerobic condition will not exist if the sand filter is always saturated with septic tank effluent, A detailed investigation should be conducted to determine if the filter are operating as designed. The school system's consultant or Mr. Bob l eweese of the Department of Public Instruction should be contacted for assistance. P.O.

A soil scientist evaluation was conducted on Monday, February 7, 1994. 'he purpose of the evaluation was to provide additional information in response to Item 6 of the State of North Carolina's Division of Environmental Management's (E "letter of January 5, 1994. The DEM letter addresses additional information necessary concerning application number WQ0008767. METHODSAND PROCEDURES A soil evaluation of the site was performed by visual inspection and selection, placement and augering of approximately eight soil borings within the proposed area of the drip irrigation facility. The soil borings were conducted to provide information for the soil hydraulic conductivity within the most restrictive horizon of the soil profile.: Composite soil samples were also collected from within the surface horizon (approximately the top 4 inches) NS-1A and from within the most retrictive horizon (on average approximately 20 to 24 inches) -1 (Attachment 1). Each of these samples were submitted to A L Eastern Agricultural Laboratories, Inc. (A ) for cation exchange capacity ( E ) and soil pH analysis.

This range of hydraulic conductivity is typical of soils that exhibit silty clay loam to silty clay texture and contain weak fine to weak medium subangular blocky structure. Two samples were submitted to A&L labs for CEC and pH. Sample NS-1 A was from the surface soil and has a CEC of 4.4 milliequivalents per 100 grams of soil ( 4.4 meq/100g) and a pH of _.a.4 standard units. Sample NS-18 was from the subsurface soil within the most restrictive horizon and has a CEC of 7.4 milliequivalents per 100 grams of soil ( — -1—.4 meq/100 g) and a pH of 4.8 standard units. Appendix 11 contains a detailed soil profile description of typical soil characteristics within the proposed area of the drip irrigation facility. According to available Soil Conservation Service mapping, the proposed area for the drip irrigation facility is mapped as a Badin - Goldston complex. 2 PPFPPr' Soil Scientist Evaluation 1588-94-001 Union County Schools February 14, 1994 S&ME appreciates the opportunity to provide the Union County School System and Frank C.

The purpose of the evaluations was to determine the suitability of the soils with regard to the installation of subsurface disposal and treatment systems. METHODS AND PROCEDURES second soil scientist evaluation was performed in the presence of Mr. Joe Lynn of the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Mr. David Cunningham of the Union County Environmental Health Department, and Mr. Bryan Smith. This evaluation was once again performed on a 3 to 5 acre area adjacent to the southern border of the existing school property. A total of approximately 25 auger borings were made to a depth of 3 to 4 feet. Previously a detailed boring was made to a depth of 7 feet or to below the "C" horizon and included soil texture, color,a and epth, thickness,. type f restrictive horizon(s)structure if present, a consistence, bound depth of seasonal high water table. A copy of this detailed soil profile description is attached. Soils in this area were described to the series level using current United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Soil Conservation Service ( - oil Ta onornv RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Soils classified within the most suitable off -site area are most like the Badin series. The soils classified have been classified as Badin variant,, The Badin varlant is well drained and is located within an upland area adjacent to the New Salem Elementary School (Figure a Badin is formed in residuum weathered from fine -pained rods, such as a rillite and gray sac e sandstone, that are classed as Carolina slatesp No seasonal high water table was noted within the profile description.
