Section 1: General
1.01 Introduction:
Aqua North Carolina, Inc. (Aqua NC) currently owns and operates an existing well
water system serving Colonial Woods Subdivision (Colonial Woods), located south
of Mt. Airy, N.C. in Surry County. Well #1 of the water system uses an assembly
,.., of green sand filters in the treatment of groundwater prior to distribution to the
Colonial Woods community. These filters are backwashed, using potable water,
approximately once every two days. This backwash is a relatively small volume of
approximately 2,000 gallons. The discharge leaves the well house via a 4" PVC
pipe and is released into an intermittent stream that is an unnamed tributary to Bull
Creek in the Yadkin River basin.
The well has a good overall history of compliance with water supply regulations,
but is required to obtain an NPDES permit for the continued operation of the
existing backwash discharge.
The Colonial Woods water system currently has 80 customers. Well # 1 is
approved for 200 gpm. No expansion of this well is planned and the system is
sufficient to serve the subdivision. Whereas the subdivision is fully developed and
since no expansion of the subdivision or service area is planned, there is no
potential for any population increase to affect the existing rate of water use or
backwash discharge flow.
The review of this source and the consideration of alternatives is being made with
inclusion of consideration of the guidance contained in "Permitting Strategy For
Greensand Filtration Water Treatment Plants - January 2004")
1.02 Scope:
The scope of this project is limited to the investigation and evaluation of
alternatives for treating and/or disposing of the existing green sand filter backwash
from Well # 1 at Colonial Woods subdivision. This includes consideration of the
feasibility of continuing the existing discharge and options for eliminating the
existing discharge.
Section 2: Background Information
2.01 Project Area:
The existing service area is limited to the Colonial Woods Subdivision. All homes
are single family residences. There are no commercial or industrial customers. All
wastewater is typical backwash from green sand filters.
The existing discharge coordinates are: Longitude: -80.6247669 W
Latitude: 36.4110914 N

PEA
PER
2.02 Site Characteristics:
The subdivision is located in a rural portion of Surry county, outside any municipal
limits and remote from public water and/or sewer. The nearest existing sewer is
approximately 5 miles away.
The general area has soil characteristics which are limited to the possibility of on
site treatment and disposal.
Terrain is generally rolling but has been graded level at the existing well site.
2.03 Receiving Stream Characteristics:
The receiving stream is intermittent in nature and is an unnamed tributary to Bull
Creek, which is C waters. The receiving stream is obviously a zero flow stream
(7Q10 and 30Q2 = 0) but since the wastewater discharge is not oxygen
consuming, discharge into the zero flow stream should be allowable under state
procedures.
This receiving stream has no known outstanding features or characteristics that
should preclude the continuation of the existing discharge. There are no known
endangered or threatened species and these are not threatened or impaired
waters.
Section 3: Existing Utilities
3.01 Public Facilities:
The nearest existing public sewer is located approximately 5 miles northwest of
the existing well near the junction of 1-74 and Rockford Street (at Mountain View
Lane.) The distance that would be required for sewer force mains to be installed
would be approximately 26,600 ft. This would be the route that appears to be the
most practical from an engineering perspective to take advantage of following
existing highway right of way and have minimal impact to adjacent property
owners.
The City of Mt. Airy, Public Works Department provides sewer services in this
area. Mr. Mitch Williams, P.E., City Engineer, was consulted and has advised that
there are no plans for extension of sewer service any closer to Colonial Woods
Subdivision within the next ten years or beyond.
3.02 Private Facilities:
There are no known existing private sewer utilities within any reasonable proximity
of Colonial Woods Subdivision that would be available for consideration as a
possible alternative. A review of available records did not reveal that there are any
private sewer facilities within a three and a half mile radius.

Section 4: Alternatives For Service
rum
4.01: On site surface and/or subsurface disposal:
Subsurface Disposal:
PRP
PER
Appendix E contains portions of soil survey reports that provide insight as to the
suitability of the soils for subsurface disposal. As described in the report, these
soils are mainly Woolwine Fairview -Westfield soils with characteristics that are
somewhat limited to very limiting with respect to the potential for subsurface
disposal. In addition to researching the information available from NRCS soils
maps, the engineer consulted with Mr. Johnny E. Easter, RS, Surry County
Environmental Health Director concerning the possibilities of subsurface disposal.
Mr. Easter suggested that, for purposes of evaluating this based on the limited
information available, an application rate of 0.25 gpd/SF would be a reasonable
assumption. Of course, before a final design and/or approval could be given, an
actual on site soils evaluation would be required. For the purposes of evaluating
this as a possible option, a design application rate of 0.25 gpd/SF will be used.
Subsurface disposal requires buffers and land for the drainfields as well as equal
areas of suitable soil, be available and maintained as potential repair/replacement
areas.
Aqua North Carolina owns a lot of approximately 1.10 acre. This lot is roughly 200
feet square. Whereas the well must have a 100 foot buffer to any disposal site, this
would necessitate that Aqua North Carolina acquire additional property to allow for
the possible subsurface disposal site, repair/reserve area and buffers..
Given the limitations described in the attached soil survey and discussed above, it
is doubtful that this is a viable option. A full and extensive soils investigation of
potential sites would be necessary to confirm if useable areas are available. In
keeping with the state guidance for alternatives evaluation, the cost effectiveness
of this alternative is further evaluated to determine if a detailed soils analysis is
appropriate. The costs associated with this option are estimated in Appendix A.
This option would require that the existing discharge be conveyed to an acquired
ram
site having sufficient area for subsurface disposal and a suitable reserve area of
equal size, and that these areas include adequate buffers from property lines,
homes, wells, etc.
Surface Irrigation:
Psi
Disposal by irrigation requires storage capacity for periods of inclement weather
when application is not allowable. Therefore consideration of this as a possible
alternative must also include the provision of storage of the backwash waters
during periods of inclement weather.

6
MIR
ramAs noted earlier, the soils surveys for this area have determined this to have
limited to severely limited potential for on site subsurface disposal. Consideration
of this alternative is based on an assumed allowable application rate of 0.20
inches per week which is based on a typical range of 0.15 to 0.25 inches per week
for this geographic area and the soil conditions generally described in the soils
survey. Storage requirements for this area are typically in the range of 45 to 90
days. For purposes of this assessment, a storage requirement of 60 days will be
assumed.
PIM
Considering the relatively benign nature of the current discharge it is not expected
that any additional treatment would be required for surface application. Although
the additional cost of conveyance and the additional costs for on site disposal
should readily be recognized as a significant cost increase as compared to the
alternative of continued discharge, an estimate of the costs for this alternative is
included in Appendix A for comparison.
The evaluation is based on a very conservative assumption that the nearest
available lands that could be reasonably used would actually be available. A
comparison of the costs were made first, using the best (lowest cost) reasonable
assumptions. It would obviously be necessary to perform a more detailed site
investigation and ascertain if the property owner would consider allowing these
lands to be acquired for this purpose.
4.02: Wastewater Reuse
lawl
Options for reuse of wastewater for this area are essentially nil. Reuse is usually
associated with non -potable uses such as irrigation. This becomes potentially
more viable if there is a need or outlet for reuse such as irrigation of a golf course.
The volume of this discharge is very low and would have little attraction as a
source for recycle purposes. This area does not have a golf course, nor are there
any other viable options for reuse associated with the subdivision or in the
„.4 surrounding area.
4.03: Surface Water Discharge
This is the current method of wastewater disposal. There is no anticipated need to
add any new facilities for additional treatment.
An estimate of the costs for the continuation of this alternative is included in
(Appendix A for comparison.

4.04: Combination of Alternatives

7
PER
furl
fml
PEI
Alternatives to discharge that may be technologically feasible, such as connection
to the nearest public sewer, subsurface disposal and/or surface irrigation, could
not be employed in conjunction with the current method of disposal (surface water
discharge) and yield any reduction in total capital or operating expenditures. The
evaluation of alternatives shows that these alternatives are clearly not viable due
to the overwhelming magnitude of associated cost.
Combining one of these alternatives while continuing the periodic discharge, yields
no reduction in the cost for non -discharge alternatives and merely increases the
overall costs. There would be no reduction in capital costs for any of these
alternatives and the operating costs for combining surface discharge with either of
the other alternatives would be greater than for any single alternative that might be
selected.
In short, whereas the conclusion that continued surface discharge is the only
viable option due to the overwhelming differential in capital and operating costs,
any addition of an additional alternative would merely make the cost differential
worse.
Whereas there is a second well (Well No. 2) in this development with a surface
water discharge, that is also undergoing an evaluation of alternatives (and
application for NPDES permit), an evaluation has been made of the potential
implications of eliminating these discharges by combining the two and eliminating
these as surface water discharges by conveying the combined backwash waters
to the nearest available POTW sewer. Similarly, evaluations have been made of
the potential for onsite disposal for a single site to serve the combined backwash
waters.
Section 5: Summary and Conclusions:
As can be seen from a comparison of the net present value of the various
alternatives, there is a wide difference between the cost estimate of the option of
continuing discharge and options to eliminate the discharge.
Compared to the cost of the next most cost effective and reliable alternative
(subsurface disposal) the estimated Net Present Value is approximately 1,095
greater. This represents a difference of $ 1,730 NPV per customer.
,,,,q The accompanying engineering alternatives analysis for Well No. 2 reveals a cost
difference between the option of continued surface discharge and subsurface
disposal that constitutes a difference of $ 1,646 NPV per customer.
As can be seen from a review of the estimated costs for combining the backwash
discharges from Well No. 1 and Well No. 2, the estimated cost for subsurface
disposal for the combined wells is $ 268,241. When this is compared to the total

8
Section 6:
Net Present Value for continuing the discharge of both wells, the cost of combining
these two wells to use a common subsurface disposal system become more
favorable (cost less than two stand alone subsurface disposal systems.) The NPV
for the cost of combining the two discharges, as compared to the cost of continued
surface water discharge represents a NPV cost of $ 3,005 per customer. Although
this is less than the NPV cost of eliminating the discharges with separate
subsurface disposal systems ($ 1,730 + $ 1,646 = $ 3,376), the analysis shows
that the estimated cost of eliminating the two existing discharges either
independently or combined, represents an excessive cost differential that makes
this impractical.
In light of the financial impracticality, it is not necessary to further pursue whether
connection is politically acceptable to the POTW or whether land based disposal
options are workable.
By far, the most practical and cost effective and reasonably practical alternative is
the continued discharge of the relatively benign filter backwash waters.
Proposed Wastewater Treatment Facilities:
Based on the findings of this evaluation, it has been concluded that the most
leconomical and practical alternative is to continue discharge to surface waters.

3. Land Based Disposal:
3A. Subsurface Disposal:
Based on the soil survey information and the engineers field observations, the soils in this
area appear to be limited to severely limited as a medium for subsurface disposal. In the
event that it was found to be apparently a cost effective alternative, an in depth site
specific soil investigation would need to be done to confirm that the soils could in fact be
used. However, for the purpose of comparing the potential alternatives within the scope
of this evaluation, it will be assumed that a typical low design loading rate would be
�., workable. Therefore, it will be assumed that a loading rate of 0.25 gpd/sq. ft. is
acceptable.
r.. Therefore, based on the design flow, the area required for subsurface disposal is:
2,000 gpd / 0.25 gpd/sq. ft.= 8,000 SF
Whereas it is required to maintain an equal size area as a reserve for future repair, the
required area is 16,000 SF. Appendix D contains a map, which delineates the area that
might be available for subsurface disposal.
Assuming a roughly rectangular field (160 ft x 100 ft. for the initial drain field repair

3B. Surface Irrigation:
Surface irrigation preliminary design is based on an assumed allowable application rate

design flow of 2,000 gpd, this results in an estimated disposal area of 10,000 SF.
Allowing a recommended 50% repair area, the required total area is 15,000 SF.
Assuming a roughly rectangular field (422.5 ft x 422.5 ft. for the initial spray field plus
repair and in order to maintain the required 150 foot buffer to property lines), the

5B. Surface Irrigation:
Surface irrigation preliminary design is based on an assumed allowable application rate
of 0.20 gpd/sq. ft. and a required storage basin for 60 days design flow. Based on the
designflow of 3,680 gpd, this results in an estimated disposal area of 18,400 SF.
Allowing a recommended 50% repair area, the required total area is 27,600 SF.
Assuming a roughly rectangular field (167 ft x 167 ft. for the initial spray field plus repair
and in order to maintain the required 150 foot buffer to property lines), the minimum
estimated land required is 218,089 SF or approximately 5.0 acres.

Sewage Disposal
This table shows the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect septic tank absorption fields and sewage
lagoons. The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to which the soils are
limited by all of the soil features that affect these uses. "Not limited" indicates that the soil has features that are very
favorable for the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be expected. "Somewhat limited"
indicates that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be
overcome or minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and moderate maintenance
can be expected. "Very limited" indicates that the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the
specified use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or
expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can be expected.
Numerical ratings in the table indicate the severity of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as decimal
fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations between the point at which a soil feature has the
greatest negative impact on the use (1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00).
"Septic tank absorption fields" are areas in which effluent from a septic tank is distributed into the soil through
subsurface tiles or perforated pipe. Only that part of the soil between depths of 24 and 72 inches or between a
depth of 24 inches and a restrictive layer is evaluated. The ratings are based on the soil properties that affect
absorption of the effluent, construction and maintenance of the system, and public health. Saturated hydraulic
conductivity (Ksat), depth to a water table, ponding, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, and flooding affect
absorption of the effluent. Stones and boulders, ice, and bedrock or a cemented pan interfere with installation.
Subsidence interferes with installation and maintenance. Excessive slope may cause lateral seepage and surfacing
of the effluent in downslope areas.
Some soils are underlain by loose sand and gravel or fractured bedrock at a depth of less than 4 feet below the
distribution tines. In these soils the absorption field may not adequately filter the effluent, particularly when the
system is new. As a result, the ground water may become contaminated.
"Sewage lagoons" are shallow ponds constructed to hold sewage while aerobic bacteria decompose the solid
and liquid wastes. Lagoons should have a nearly level floor surrounded by cut slopes or embankments of
compacted soil. Nearly impervious soil material for the lagoon floor and sides is required to minimize seepage and
contamination of ground water. Considered in the ratings are slope, saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), depth
to a water table, ponding, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, flooding, large stones, and content of organic
matter.
Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is a critical property affecting the suitability for sewage lagoons. Most
porouslsoils eventually become sealed when they are used as sites for sewage lagoons. Until seating occurs,
however, the hazard of pollution is severe. Soils that have a Ksat rate of more than 14 micrometers per second are
too porous for the proper functioning of sewage lagoons. In these soils, seepage of the effluent can result in
contamination of the ground water. Ground -water contamination is also a hazard if fractured bedrock is within a
depth of 40 inches, if the water table is high enough to raise the level of sewage in the lagoon, or if floodwater
overtops the lagoon.
A high content of organic matter is detrimental to proper functioning of the lagoon because it inhibits aerobic
activity. Slope, bedrock, and cemented pans can cause construction problems, and large stones can hinder
compaction of the lagoon floor. If the lagoon is to be uniformly deep throughout, the slope must be gentle enough
and the soil material must be thick enough over bedrock or a cemented pan to make land smoothing practical.
Information in this table is intended for land use planning, for evaluating land use alternatives, and for planning
site investigations prior to design and construction. The information, however, has limitations. For example,
estimates and other data generally apply only to that part of the soil between the surface and a depth of 5 to 7 feet.
Because of the map scale, small areas of different soils may be included within the mapped areas of a specific soil.
The (information is not site specific and does not eliminate the need for onsite investigation of the soils or for
testing and analysis by personnel experienced in the design and construction of engineering works.
Govemment ordinances and regulations that restrict certain land uses or impose specific design criteria were
not considered in preparing the information in this table. Local ordinances and regulations should be considered in
planning, in site selection, and in design.

Residuals Management Plan
Prepared by: J. Thurman Horne, P.E.
Horizon Engineering & Consulting, Inc.
Residuals Management Plan:
The proposed continued surface water discharge will have no impact on existing residuals management.
There are no wastewater treatment facilities.
The nature of the operation (backwashing of green sand filters) is such that only minor amounts of solids
(less than 30 mg/I) are released with the discharge.
Pot
There is no generation of any grits, sludges or residuals for removal or disposal.
put
This project does not increase or alter the amounts of sludge produced or impact the current methods of
disposition.
