RE: NPDES Direct Discharge Permit Application
249 Quiet Waters Road, Gaston County, NC
Mr. Hennessey,
On behalf of my client, Wanda and Dennis Gorges (the Owner), I (the Engineer) am
requesting coverage under NCG550000 and am pleased to submit the enclosed Preliminary
Engineering Alternatives Analysis package to fulfill the requirements for a direct discharge permit
application for a single-family residence located at 249 Quiet Waters Road in Gaston County,
Parcel # 193438. We hereby offer this as our notice of intent and request your authorization to
construct the herein indicated single-family domestic waste treatment and direct discharge
system.
The Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) was prepared and formatted by adapting the
Engineering Alternatives Analysis Guidance Document into an Engineering Alternatives
Analysis report, essentially following the line-by-line structure of the rule intended to
facilitate ease of review by the NC DEQ Compliance and Expedited Permitting Unit (the
Department), and to provide a design and permitting documents for the domestic
wastewater treatment and discharge system planned for this site. The development
of design basis indicated in the EAA was accomplished through applying the
industry wide single-family domestic direct discharge certification standards
founded in EPA recommendations to the most applicable current NC direct
discharge rules. The design intent is to develop an environmentally sound and
technologically and economically feasible design of the treatment system.
Elucidation of the basis and illustration of the design are enclosed.
The report includes many attachments and a listing of contents, so to speak, to aid in collating
the various documents uploaded for ease of review are as follows by document name;

NPDES Permit Application
Engineering Alternatives Analysis
For 249 Quiet Waters Road
Background
The Purpose of this document is to serve a record of the engineering alternatives analysis for the direct discharge
treatment system design for the proposed residence at 249 Quiet Waters Road in Belmont North Carolina.This
Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA)is included as part of the NPDES application for a new residential
wastewater treatment system discharge.In accordance with Engineering Alternatives Analysis(EAA) Guidance
Document provided by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources,the information contained herein is
intended to provide complete justification for a direct discharge to surface water alternative and demonstrate that
direct discharge is the most environmentally sound alternative selected from all reasonably cost-effective options [per
15A NCAC 2H.0105(c)(2)].
The EAA process is herein presented following the step-by-step outline for the preparation of this EAA submissions
in accordance with the Engineering Alternatives Analysis(EAA) Guidance Document provided by the North
Carolina Division of Water Resources.
STEP 1. Determination that the proposed discharge should be allowed
Before beginning this engineering evaluation of alternatives, a preliminary determination was made that the proposed
wastewater discharge should be allowed. The above referenced Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) Guidance
Document (EEAGD) lists several potential restrictions to a wastewater discharge to surface waters, including. These
restrictions will be presented italicized in bulleted form followed by our determinations to follow.
■ Zero flow stream restrictions[15A NCAC 2B.0206(d)(2)]apply to oxygen-consuming waste in zero flow streams. In
order to determine streamflow at the proposed discharge location, contact the U.S. Geological Survey at 919-571-4000.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions,upon calling the USGS office at the number directed by the EEAGD we
were unable to speak with anyone in that office. We did refer to the USGS National Water Information
System website and were able to download the provisional flow data for the Catawba River Lake Wylie
impoundment dam at Fewell Island,SC which indicates a discharge flowrate of 7950 ft3/s(Figure 1).
(https://waterdata.usgs.gov/sc/nwis/current/?type=flow&group_key=basin_cd).Typically,7Qio and
30Q2 streamflows are the standard for estimation purposes yet are inapplicable to Lake Wylie,an
impoundment of the Catawba River.Lake Wylie is not a zero-flow stream.
• Receiving stream classification restrictions[e.g., ORW, WS,SA,NSW,and I-IQ class waters have various discharge
restrictions or require stricter treatment standards]. Stream classifications are available on the the DWR Classification and
Standards/Rule Review Branch website:(http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ps/csu),while wastewater discharge
restrictions for various stream classifications are presented in state regulations[15A NCAC 2B.0200].
On the NCDENR website,we utilized the interactive map entering the site location to display the site
and adjacent waters. The interactive Layer List Classification selection were each independently
activated to determine the water classification at the site,then all classification layers were activated for
the purpose of illustration on the attached image (Figure 2).In addition,the site was identified on
NCDEQ's NC DEQ Online GIS webpage,https://data-ncdenr.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/2014-
integrated-report-impaired-waters?geometry=-81.056%2C35.176%2C-81.015%2C35.182,we confirmed
the Stream Classification as WS-V,B Category 5.As a final confirmation,we contacted Corey Basinger,

NPDES Permit Application
Engineering Alternatives Analysis
For 249 Quiet Waters Road
Background
The Purpose of this document is to serve a record of the engineering alternatives analysis for the direct discharge
treatment system design for the proposed residence at 249 Quiet Waters Road in Belmont North Carolina.This
Engineering Alternatives Analysis(EAA)is included as part of the NPDES application for a new residential
wastewater treatment system discharge.In accordance with Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) Guidance
Document provided by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources,the information contained herein is
intended to provide complete justification for a direct discharge to surface water alternative and demonstrate that
direct discharge is the most environmentally sound alternative selected from all reasonably cost-effective options [per
15A NCAC 2H.0105(c)(2)].
The EAA process is herein presented following the step-by-step outline for the preparation of this EAA submissions
in accordance with the Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) Guidance Document provided by the North
Carolina Division of Water Resources.
STEP 1. Determination that the proposed discharge should be allowed
Before beginning this engineering evaluation of alternatives, a preliminary determination was made that the proposed
wastewater discharge should be allowed. The above referenced Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) Guidance
Document (EEAGD) lists several potential restrictions to a wastewater discharge to surface waters, including. These
restrictions will be presented italicized in bulleted form followed by our determinations to follow.
■ Zero flow stream restrictions[15A NCAC 2B.0206(d)(2)]apply to oxygen-consuming waste in c.ero flow streams. In
order to determine streamflow at the proposed discharge location, contact the U.S. Geological Survey at 919-571-4000.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions,upon calling the USGS office at the number directed by the EEAGD we
were unable to speak with anyone in that office. We did refer to the USGS National Water Information
System website and were able to download the provisional flow data for the Catawba River Lake Wylie
impoundment darn at Fewell Island,SC which indicates a discharge flowrate of 7950 ft3/s (Figure 1).
(https://waterdata.usgs.gov/sc/nwis/current/?type=flow&group_key=basin_cd).Typically,7Qio and
30Q2 streamflows are the standard for estimation purposes yet are inapplicable to Lake Wylie,an
impoundment of the Catawba River.Lake Wylie is not a zero-flow stream.
• Receiving stream classification restrictions[e.g., ORW, WS,SA,NSW,and HQ class waters have various discharge
restrictions or require stricter treatment standards]. Stream classifications are available on the the DWR Classification and
Standards/Rule Review Branch website:(http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ps/csu), while wastewater discharge
restrictions for various stream classifications are presented in state regulations[ 15A NCAC 2B.02001.
On the NCDENR website,we utilized the interactive map entering the site location to display the site
and adjacent waters. The interactive Layer List Classification selection were each independently
activated to determine the water classification at the site,then all classification layers were activated for
the purpose of illustration on the attached image (Figure 2).In addition,the site was identified on
NCDEQ's NC DEQ Online GIS webpage,https://data-ncdenr.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/2014-
integrated-report-impaired-waters?geometry=-81.056%2C35.176%2C-81.015%2C35.182,we confirmed
the Stream Classification as WS-V,B Category 5.As a final confirmation,we contacted Corey Basinger,
NCDENR,and confirmed the waters were a"type"5.
• Basinwide Water Qualip,Plans. These basin-specific plans list NPDES permitting strategies that may limit wastewater
discharges to particular streams within the basin due to lack of stream assimilative capacity, etc. Basin plans are available
on the DWR website,oryou may contact the DWR Basinwide Planning Branch

(http://portal.ncdenr.m/web/wq/ps/bpu). From the above reference,we have downloaded and reviewed the
2004 Catawba River Basinwide Water Quality Plan and found no restrictions which may preclude the
issuance of this NPDES permit.
• Impaired waters and TMDLr. Certain waterbodies listed as impaired on the 303(d)list and/or subject to impending
TMDLr may have wastewater discharge restrictions. The list of 303(d)impaired waters is located on the DWR website,or
you may contact the DWR Modeling and Assessment Branch(http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ps/mtu). From the
above reference,we have downloaded and reviewed the 2018 NC Integrated Report and the 2018 NC
Category 5 Assessments "303(d)List"Final and found no restrictions which may preclude the issuance of
this NPDES permit.
• Presence of Endangered Species. If endangered species are present in the proposed discharge location, there may be
wastewater discharge restrictions. Endangered species information may be included in the Basinwide Water Quality Plan,
oryou may contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service(919-8564520),N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission(919-733-
3633), or the N.C.Natural Heritage Program(919-733-7701).From the above reference,we have
downloaded and reviewed the 2004 Catawba River Basinwide Water Quality Plan and found no
restrictions which may predude the issuance of this NPDES permit.In addition,upon calling the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service office,the N.C.Wildlife Resources Commission office,and the N.C.Natural
Heritage Program(NC NHP) office at the number directed by the EEAGD,due to COVID-19
restrictions we were unable to speak with anyone in that office. We have requested and received the
attached NC NHP automated review. In addition,Gaston County GIS data layers have been reviewed
for T&E Species and have found no indications that predude issuance of the NPDES permit.
Municipal applicants.Not Applicable as this is a single-family residence(See STEP 2 below).

STEP 2. Provide reasonable projections for population and flow
Residential Population Projections.
(acuities requesting an ,A'PDLS discharge permit for new or expanding domestic wastewater discharges must document the population to
be served within the service area over a 20 year planning period. The NC State Demographics unit provides population data for each
county and municipality and can be accessed on the Internet at http://wunv.demog.state.nc.us. If 20yearpopulation projections for specific
areas are not available, a linear extrapolation of population trends from the past decade should be used. Any deviation from a linear
projection method must be clearly justified. If population projections include future annexations, include a proposed annexation schedule as
well as any annexation requirements that must be met. Residential population projections are not applicable as this is not a
municipal or industrial facility,the proposed discharge will be for a three-bedroom single family residence discharging
domestic waste with a discharge rate of 360-GPD in accordance with.
Municipal Flow Projections.Not Applicable as this is a single-family residence.
Non-Municipal Flow Projections. Not Applicable as this is a single-family residence.
STEP 3. Evaluate technologically feasible alternatives
In accord with the goal of the Clean Water Act,to minimize or eliminate point source discharges to surface waters,this
proposal for a new residential discharge included an evaluation of wastewater disposal alternatives in addition to direct
discharge. This evaluation investigated the feasibility of the following wastewater disposal alternative.The requirements
of the EEAGD are first stated in italics with the response to follow:
■ Connection to an existing wastewater treatment plant(public or private)We contacted the Gaston County Utilities
Department and were informed that the nearest connection to a municipal wastewater system was
approximately one-half mile,per Google Maps,to the east of the site on US HWY 273 Armstrong Road.
Gaston County expressed unwillingness to run sewer line to this site due to the excessive cost.
• Land application alternatives, such as individual/community onsite subsurface systems, drip irrigation, spray irrigation
Buffer and setback restrictions preclude installation of an individual drainfield. There is no area available
for community onsite subsurface systems,drip irrigation,or spray'+-nation.
• Wastewater reuse Wastewater reuse in not a viable option
• Surface water discharge through the NPDES program Surface water discharge is the only viable option and is
the basis for this permit
• Combinations of the above As other options are not viable,no combinations of the above were possible
In order to eliminate a wastewater disposal alternative, we have shown that the alternative is technologically infeasible
and that it would be cost prohibitive to implement relative to a direct discharge alternative. The connection cost
alternative is not viable based on high cost rather than technological feasibility. For this alternative which is
technologically feasible,we have developed and compared costs, based on a preliminary level design effort (see S 1'EP
4).
Alternative A. Connection to an Existing Wastewater Treatment System.
We have evaluated the feasibility of connecting to an existing wastewater treatment system served by a municipality or
other entity holding a valid NPDES or Non-Discharge Permit,Gaston County. Connection options should include an
evaluation of a gravity line and/or force main with pump station(s).
1. Existing Sewerage System:
(a) Identity whether tbcr'e are existing sewer lines within a five-mile radius, or consider a greater radius if cost effective for
the project size. We have identified whether there are existing sewer lines within a five-mile radius, and
EAA Guidance Document Revision:October 2019
Page 3 of 11

have located municipal sewer alignment one-half mile east of the site on US HWY 273 Armstrong
Road.
(b) Provide a preliminary indication of flow acceptance from existing municipal or private WIFT'Ps under consideration for
connection. Preliminary consultation with Gaston County Utilities Department indicated they are not
receiving residential flow from this neighborhood into their WWTPs and plans facilitate such a
connection are not under consideration to.
(c) If an existing sewerage system will accept the wastewater, evaluate the piping/pumps/resources necessary to connect to
the existing wastewater treatment plant. As the municipal sewerage system will accept the wastewater,we
evaluated the piping/pumps/resources necessary to connect to the existing wastewater treatment
plant. A topographic map or a site drawing showing the physical route of this alternative is attached.
Conduct a Present Value Cost Analysis per STEP 4. We conducted a Present Value Cost Analysis of this
alternative per S1 l P 4.
2. Planned Sewerage System: Determine if a regional sewerage system within a jive mile radius is projected to be available
within the next jive years to receive waste from the project site. We have determined that a regional sewerage
system within a five-mile radius is projected will most likely not be available to receive waste from the
project site within the next five years.
Alternative B. Land Application.Not Applicable as no land is available.
Alternative C. Wastewater Reuse.Not Applicable as no economically viable technology is available.
Alternative D. Direct Discharge to Surface Waters.
1. Private applicants must contact the USGS in Raleigh at 919-5714000 and obtain(generally for a nominal fee), the
receiving streamflow data(s7Q 10,30Q2,annual average streamflow)at the imposed discharge location.We understand
7Qio and 30Q2 streamflows are inapplicable to an impoundment of a river.In accordance with the
Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA)Guidance Document North Carolina Division of Water
Resources. As recommended in that guidance document,we contacted J. Curtis Weaver with the USGS
in Raleigh and was advised the receiving streamflow data,7Qio and 30Q2 annual average streamflow,at
the proposed discharge location are inapplicable to the Lake Wylie impoundment of the Catawba River.
2. All direct discharge systems of oxygen-consuming wastes should be evaluated both with tertiary filtration[BOD5=5 mg/l,
NI-3 N= 1 mg/l]and without,and assuming a weekly sampling regime.This is a single-family residence producing
low quantity(360 GPD)domestic effluent and should be evaluated as such.In order to recommend
applicable effluent quality levels for this site,we performed a Regulation and Standard Review.
Federal Regulations
The Clean Water Act (CWA) 33 U.S.C. §1251 et seq. (197 established the basic structure for regulating
discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States and regulating quality standards for surface
waters).Tied to the CWA,Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 122 provides for the National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System(NPDES) regulations which were established for issuance of NPDES
permits for direct discharge into receiving surface waters, with its issuance administered by many states.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)NPDES Permit Writers'Manual,one of the major
strategies of the Clean Water Act (CWA) in making"reasonable further progress toward the national goal of
eliminating the discharge of all pollutants" is to require effluent limitations based on the capabilities of the
technologies available to control those discharges. Technology-based effluent limitations (TBET s) aim to
prevent pollution by requiring a minimum level of effluent quality that is attainable using demonstrated
technologies for reducing discharges of pollutants or pollution into the waters of the United States. The
NPDES regulations at Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 125.3(a) require NPDES permit
writers to develop technology-based treatment requirements, consistent with CWA section 301(b), that
represent the minimum level of control that must be imposed in a permit. EPA provided standards for
effluent quality for Secondary Treatment Standards to include;
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Writers' Manual 5.1.1.1 Secondary
Treatment Standards: In Part 133, EPA published secondary treatment standards based on an evaluation of
performance data for POTWs practicing a combination of physical and biological treatment to remove
EAA Guidance Document Revision:October 2019
Page 4 of 11

biodegradable organics and suspended solids. The regulation applies to all POTWs and identifies the
technology-based performance standards achievable based on secondary treatment for 5-day biochemical
oxygen demand (BOD5), total suspended solids (TSS), and pH. Exhibit 5-2 in the EPA Permit Writers'
Manual summarizes the standards in Exhibit 5-2,Secondary Treatment Standards
• BOD5-30 mg/L(or 25 mg/L CBOD5)and 7-day average of 45 mg/L(or 40 mg/L CBOD5)
• TSS-30-day average of 30 mg/L and 7-day average of mg/L 45 mg/L BOD5,
• TSS removal(concentration)not less than 85%,and
• pH within the limits of 6.0-9.0.
Industry-NSF/ANSI Standards
National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), a global independent public health and environmental organization,
and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which oversees the consensus for developing
standards for manufacturing and procedures in the United States, have established classifications for
wastewater effluent producers and adopted the EPA's Technology-based effluent limitations.NSF/ANSI has
established the levels of criterion and certification for residential wastewater treatment systems ANS/ANSI
40,Residential Wastewater Treatment Systems,NSF/ANSI 245 Residential Wastewater Treatment Systems
Nitrogen Reduction, and NSF/ANSI 245 Onsite Residential and Commercial Water Reuse Treatment
Systems. A brief description of each follows;
According to NSF/ANSI Standard 40,Class I or Class II systems are classified as according to the quality
of effluent produced by the system during the performance evaluation. Class I systems must meet the
requirements of EPA Secondary Treatment Guidelines for five-day carbonaceous biochemical oxygen
demand (CBOD,), total suspended solids (TSS) and pH. Class I systems must also demonstrate
performance consistent with the effluent color,odor,oily film and foam requirements of the Standard.
Systems conforming to NSF/ANSI Standard 245 must meet the average effluent requirements for five-
day carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD5), total suspended solids (TSS) and pH and
demonstrate reduction of total nitrogen by more than 50%. The system must also, in the same
configuration,be demonstrated to have met the Class I requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 40 or must
meet the Class I requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 40 during concurrent testing for nutrient removal.
NSF/ANSI Standard 245 stipulates that conformance to this Standard is determined using only data
collected during the design loading periods. Data collected from the stress sequences is reported but not
calculated.
Systems conforming to NSF/ANSI Standard 350 are classified as Class R (single family residential) or
Class C (commercial facilities) according to the flow capacity of the system and the type of waste treated.
Class R systems have a daily rated treatment capacity of up to 1,500 GPD and Class C systems have a
daily rated treatment capacities exceeding 1,500 GPD. Class R Systems must meet the effluent
requirements for five-day carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD,), total suspended solids
(TSS),turbidity,pH and disinfection.Class R systems must also demonstrate performance consistent with
the effluent color, odor, oily film and foam requirements of the Standard. NSF/ANSI Standard 350
stipulates that conformance to this Standard is determined using all data collected daring the entire
performance evaluation.
The above was taken and edited from the North American Testing Report dated December 4, 2017,
applicable portions of the report are attached.

From Table 8.1 of the NSF/ANSI 350 2020 Standard Onsite Residential and Commercial Water Reuse
Treatment System,the NSF 350 Standard quality of effluent is as follows;
Table 8.1 - Summary of Effluent Criteria for Individual Classifications, for Class R, the Test Average and
Single Sample Maximums for;
• CBOD5 are 10 mg/1 and 25 mg/1,
• TSS are 10 mg/1 and 30 mg/1,
• Turbidity are 5 NTU and 10 NTU,
• E.Coli(as a geometric mean)are 14 MPN/100 ml and 240 MPN/100m1.
• pH(SU)are between 6 and 9 for both test average and single sample respectively.
• A storage vessel disinfection of> 0.5 to <_ 2.5 for only the test average and no criterion for single
sample,odor that is non-offensive,oily film and foam that is nondetectable was given.
• We also selected the NSF 245 Standard which adds Total Nitrogen with the total concentration of
all effluent samples less than 50%of the average total nitrogen concentration of all influent samples.
North Carolina Regulations
The treated effluent in this application is considered a point source domestic waste. According the EPA,
"Effluent limitations serve as the primary mechanism in NPDES permits for controlling discharges of
pollutants to receiving waters. When developing effluent limitations for an NPDES permit, a permit writer
must consider limits based on both the technology available to control the pollutants (i.e., technology-based
effluent limits) and limits that are protective of the water quality standards of the receiving water (i.e.,water
quality-based effluent limits)"- https://www.epa.gov/npdes/npdes-permit-limits. North Carolina regulations
address technology based effluent limitations as follows.
15A NCAC SUBCHAPTER 02B - SURFACE WATER AND WETLAND STANDARDS, Section .0400 -
EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS,

Compliance Review for Proposed Actions
Compliance With EPA and NSF/ANSI Standards
According to the attached Product Testing and Evaluation Certification Report dated December 4, 2017,
Executive Summary prepared by North American Testing,LLC,the Singulair Model R3 System produced an
effluent that successfully met the Class I effluent requirements established by NSF/ANSI Standard 40 for
Class I effluent.
From that report we quote,"The Singulair Model R3 System reduced total nitrogen an average of 65.7%over
the course of the design loading evaluation period and successfully met the performance requirements
established by NSF/ANSI Standard 245 for greater than 50% total nitrogen reduction. During the design
loading evaluation periods, the average influent total nitrogen was 42.1 mg/1, and the average effluent total
nitrogen was 14.4 mg/L.The system also met the average effluent quality requirements for CBOD,and TSS.
Daring the design loading evaluation periods,the average final effluent CBOD5 was 4 mg/1 and the average
effluent total suspended solids was 3.6 mg/1 both below the allowed maximums of 25 mg/1 and 30 mg/1,
respectively.
The Singulair Model R3 System produced an effluent that successfully met the performance requirements
established by NSF/ANSI Standard 350 for Class R Residential Wastewater Reuse Treatment Systems. Over
the course of the entire evaluation, the average final effluent CBOD5 was 5 mg/I, with a maximum single
value 9 mg/1,both below the allowed maximums of 10 mg/1 and 25 mg/1,respectively. The average effluent
total suspended solids was 4.6 mg/I, with a maximum single value 14.3 mg/I, both below the allowed
maximums of 10 mg/1 and 30 mg/1,respectively.The system achieving an average reduction in BOD,of 98%

and an average reduction in total suspended solids of 97.4%.The average final effluent turbidity was 2.3 NTU
with a maximum single value of 8.3 NTU, both below the allowed maximums of 5 NTU and 10 NTU,
respectively.The system also produced a disinfected effluent which met the Class R disinfection requirements
of NSF/ANSI Standard 350. The geometric mean of all final effluent E. Coli samples was 2 MPN/100 ml
with a maximum single sample of 180 MPN/100 ml,both below the allowed maximums of 14 MPN/100 ml
and 240 MPN/100 ml mg/1,respectively.
The Singulair Model R3 System met the general effluent requirements for pH,color,threshold odor,oily film
and foam.The effluent pH during the entire evaluation ranged between 7.0 and 7.7,within the range of 6.0 to
9.0 required by the Standards. The system also met the requirements for literature, materials, design and
construction,including noise levels(less than 60 dbA at a distance of 20 feet),access ports,and failure sensing
and signaling equipment."

STEP 4. Evaluate economic feasibility of alternatives
To provide valid cost comparisons among all technologically feasible wastewater alternatives identified in STEP 3,a 20-
year Present Value of Costs Analysis (PVCA) was performed. A preliminary design level effort was performed and
utilized in comparing feasible options and their associated costs. For this PVCA cost comparison, all future
expenditures were converted to a present value cost at the beginning of the 20-year planning period. A discount rate
was used in the analysis and represents the time value of money.
The PVCA included an engineer's first preliminary planning level estimate of all monetary costs associated with
construction,startup and annual operation and maintenance of a facility. All unit cost information was provided,and
costs must be referenced. Costs can be referenced in paragraph format by summarizing the sources utilized (e.g.,
vendor quotes,realtor land quotes,past bids,Means Construction Index,etc). Vender quotes received for treatment
units or other components, as well as realtor land quotes, shall be included as well. For each treatment alternative
identified as technologically feasible,costs included,but have not been limited to,the following
Capital Costs
• Land acquisition costs
• Equipment costs
• Labor costs
■ Installation costs
• Design costs
Recurring Costs
• Operation and maintenance costs(with replacement costs)
• Laboratory costs assuming a weekly monitoring regime for discharge systems and a monthly regime for
non-discharge systems
• Operator and support staff costs
• Residual disposal costs
• Connection fees and subsequent user fees
■ Permit and compliance fees
• Utility costs(power,water,etc.)
Lost Opportunity Costs are inapplicable and were not evaluated
Alternative A. Connection to an Existing Wastewater Treatment System
Capital Costs
The actual cost of this alternative is borne by either the local municipality or our client,which is yet to be determined.
Therefore,we have included it in this PVCA analysis,which is attached.Based on consultation with Mr.Mike Bynum,
Gaston County,we understand that typical installation costs for sanitary sewer can be planned at$186/lf.In addition,
manholes are to be installed each 3001f along the alignment at$4,000/each manhole. No Land acquisition costs are
anticipated.Equipment costs,Labor costs,Installation costs,and Design costs,for the 1925 linear feet of line,indicated
on the attached sketch,required estimate the cost to connect to the closest available municipal sewer system,we
estimate the cost should be between$398,550,excluding pump station costs to lift the sewerage to the line along
Armstrong road which sits at a higher elevation of$7,000-$10,000. For the purpose of this PVCA estimate with have
included the median cost of$8,500 for the pump station.A Sewer Tap Fee of$5,017 to be paid by the homeowner is
also included.
Recurring Costs
With this option,no Operation and maintenance costs,Laboratory costs, Operator and support staff costs,Residual
disposal costs, or additional Permit and compliance fees are anticipated. Utility costs (power, water, etc.) were
considered.Connection fees and subsequent user fees,such as utility costs are included in this PVCA analysis.

Capital Costs
No Land acquisition costs are anticipated. Preliminarily,Equipment costs,Labor costs,Installation costs,and Design
costs may total$20,000.
Recurring Costs
With this option, Operation and maintenance costs, Laboratory costs, Operator and support staff costs, Residual
disposal costs, Connection fees and subsequent user fees, Permit and compliance fees, Utility costs (power, water,
etc.)were estimated at$750/yr.
Lost Opportunity Costs No Lost Opportunity Costs were considered
The total PVCA Cost Estimate for Connection to an Existing Wastewater Treatment System is$38,888.
PVCA Calculation Method Used.
The following standard formula for computing the present value was used in all cost estimates made under this
C
evaluation: PV= Co +1(1 +rr)`
Where:
PV = Present value of costs.
Co = Costs incurred in the present year.
Ct = Costs incurred in time t.
t = Time period after the present year(The present year is t= 0)
n = Ending year of the life of the facility.
r = Current EPA discount rate. EPA adjusts this rate annually on October 1,and it can be accessed from
the Internet at http:/www.nccgl.net/fap/cwsrf/201gui.html.

USGS 7Q10 AND 30Q2 DETERMINATION

Subject: Initial USGS response concerning...RE: [EXTERNAL] 7Q10 and 30Q2 flow estimate request
Mr. Barrier,
Plotting the location coordinates you provided places the point of interest onto an unnamed tributary to the lake. A
basin delineation completed using the online USGS StreamStats application for North Carolina
(https://streamstats.usgs.gov/ss/) indicates the drainage area for the point of interest (StreamStats adjusted
coordinates 35.17714, -81.03494 NAD83) is 0.0426 sqmi. I can state with a high degree of confidence that
both the annual 7Q10 and 30Q2 low-flow estimates will very likely be zero flow due to the very small basin
size of the unnamed tributary.
However, per your email, your point of interest is actually the Catawba River within Lake Wylie, an impounded
reach. Please be aware the USGS techniques used to provide estimated low-flow discharges for streams and rivers are
not applicable to impounded reaches. The estimated low-flow discharges (annual 7Q10 and 30Q2) would not be
meaningful for impounded reaches where the storage characteristics and circulation patterns of the impoundment are
additional components of the flow dynamics within these streams and rivers.
I have cc:ed Mr. Klaus Albertin, my primary contact for low-flow programs within the NCDEQ Division of Water
Resources. He can direct you to someone within the Water-Quality permitting unit who can provide further guidance on
your efforts to obtain a discharge permit in the absence of available estimated low-flow discharges.
I regret this response does not provide the information you are seeking but hope it at least provides some sense of
direction for you in your efforts on this matter.
Thank you.

Good afternoon Mr. Weaver,
I was referred to you and given your email address by Larry Thompson of Thompson Environmental, who had expressed
his appreciation and admiration of you, and relayed that you had been a great help to him in the past. I now ask your
help in determining the 7Qio and 30Q2 flow estimates for the Catawba River whose shoreline is on 249 Quiet Waters Rd,
(Forest Bay Subdivision), Belmont, NC. This is in Gaston County and the property is located on Lake Wylie, which
presents a problem for 7Qio and 30Q2 estimates I imagine. The purpose of the request is to have made the request to
comply with NC Division of Water Resources guidelines to confirm that the receiving water is not considered to be "zero
flow".
The site coordinates are: 35.177139,-81.03494
A location map is below and attached as well for your ease of use.

RE: 249 Quiet Waters Road, Gastonia, NC ; Thompson Environmental Consulting, Inc.
Dear Larry Thompson:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one-mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally-listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one-mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
httos://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally-
listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rodney.butlerncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,

Mr.Dennis Gorges
4200 Windwood Circle
Charlotte,NC 28266
Dear Mr. Gorges:
On January 6, 2006,the Gaston County Health Department,Environmental Health Division
evaluated the above-reference property at the site designed on the site plan that accompanied
your Improvement Permit Application. According to your Application,the site is to serve a four
(4) bedroom residence with a design wastewater flow of 480 gallons per day. The evaluation
was done in accordance with the laws and rules governing wastewater systems in North
Carolina, Statute 130A-333 including related Statutes and Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the
North Carolina Administrative Code,Rule .1900 and related rules.
Based on the criteria set out in Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina Administrative
Code,Rules .1940 through .1948,the evaluation indicated that the site is UNSUITABLE for a
ground absorption sewage system. Therefore,your request for an Improvement Permit is
DENIED. A copy of the site evaluation is enclosed. The site is unsuitable based on the •
following:
•
X Unsuitable soil topography and/or landscape position (Rule.1940)
X Unsuitable soil characteristics (structure of clay mineralogy) (Rule.1941)
X Unsuitable soil wetness condition (Rule.1942)
Unsuitable soil depth(Rule .1943)
Presence of restrictive horizon(Rule.1944)
X Insufficient space for septic system and repair area(Rule .1945)
Unsuitable for meeting required setbacks (Rule .1950)
Other(Rule .1946)

•
Mr. Gorges
September 27, 2010

These severe soil or site limitations could cause premature system failure leading to the
discharge of untreated sewage on the ground surface, in surface waters,directly into ground
water or inside your structure.
The site evaluation included consideration of possible site modifications, and modified,
innovative or alternative systems. However,the Health Department has determined that none Of
the above options will overcome the severe conditions on this site. A possible option might be a
system designed to dispose of sewage to another area of suitable soil or off-site to additional
property.
For the reasons set out above,the property is currently classified UNSUITABLE, and an
Improvement Permit shall not be issued for this site in accordance with Rule .1948(c).
However,the site classified as unsuitable may be classified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE
if written documentation is provided that meets the requirements of Rule .1948(d). A copy of
this Rule is enclosed. You may hire a consultant to assist you if you wish to try to develop a plan
under which your site could be reclassified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE.
You have a right to an informal review of this decision. You may request an informal review by
the soil scientist or Environmental Health Supervisor at the local health department. You may
also request an informal review by the N.C.Department of Environment and National Resources
Regional Soil Specialist. A request for informal review must be made in writing to the local
health department.
You also have a right to a formal appeal of this decision. To pursue a formal appeal,you must
file a petition for a contested case hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail
Center,Raleigh,N.C.27699-6714. To get a copy of a petition form,you may write the Office
of Administrative Hearings or call the office at(919)733-0926, or from the OAH website at
www.oah.state.nc.us/form.htm. The petition for a contested case hearing must be filed in
accordance with the provision of North Carolina General Statutes 130A-24 and 150B-23 and all
other applicable provisions of Chapter 150B. N.C. General Statute 130A-335(g)provides that
your hearing would be held in the county where your property is located.
• Please Note: Ifyou wish topursue a formal appeal,you must file the petition form with the
eas pp ,
Office of Administrative Hearings WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS LETTER. The
date of this letter is September 27,2010. Meeting the 30 day deadline is critical to your right to a
formal appeal. Beginning a formal appeal within 30 days will not interfere with any informal
review that you might request. Do not wait for the outcome of any informal review if you wish
to file a formal appeal.

Mr. Gorges
September 27,2010

1SA NCAC 18A.1948 SITE CLASSIFICATION
(a) Sites classified as SUITABLE may be utilized for a ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal system consistent
with these Rules. A suitable classification generally indicates soil and site conditions favorable for the operation of a ground
absorption sewage treatment and disposal system or have slight limitations that are readily overcome by proper design and
installation.
• (b) Sites classified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE may be utilized for a ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal
system consistent with these Rules but have moderate limitations. Sites classified Provisionally Suitable require some
modifications and careful planning,design,and installation in order for a ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal

(c) Sites classified UNSUITABLE have severe limitations for the installation and use of a properly functioning ground
absorption sewage treatment and disposal system. An improvement permit shall not be issued for a site which is classified as
UNSUITABLE. However,where a site is UNSUITABLE,it may be reclassified PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE if a special
investigation indicates that a modified or alternative system can be installed in accordance with Rules.1956 or.1957 of this
Section.
(d) A site classified as UNSUITABLE may be used for a ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal system
specifically identified in Rules .1955,.1956,or.1957 of this Section or a system approved under Rule.1969 if written
documentation,including engineering,hydrogeologic,geologic or soil studies,indicates to the local health department that the
proposed system can be expected to function satisfactorily. Such sites shall be reclassified.as PROVISIONALLY
SUITABLE if the local health department determines that the substantiating data indicate that:
(1) a ground absorption system can be installed so that the effluent will be non-pathogenic,non-infectious,
non-toxic,and non-hazardous;
(2) the effluent will not contaminate groundwater or surface water;and
(3) the effluent will not be exposed on the ground surface or be discharged to surface waters where it could
come in contact with people,animals,or vectors.
The State shall review the substantiating data if requested by the local health department.

249 Quiet Waters Road — 1 — September 15, 2020
INTRODUCTION AND SITE DESCRIPTION
Thompson Environmental Consulting, Inc. (TEC) has performed a Soil and Site
Evaluation for on-site subsurface wastewater treatment and disposal system suitability on
Lot 27—Forest Bay, located at 249 Quiet Waters Road, Belmont,North Carolina(Gaston
County Tax Parcel: 193438). The property was evaluated in accordance with North
Carolina statutes for waste disposal ("Laws and Rules for Sewage Treatment and
Disposal Systems", Sections .1940 through .1944(amended April 2017).
The project study area is currently undeveloped and is vegetated with mixed tall grasses
and several mixed deciduous trees. There are two stormwater discharge pipes that outlet
to a natural drainage feature on the property which drains directly to Lake Wylie.
INVESTIGATION METHODOLOGY
The soil and site evaluation was performed on September 15, 2020 by Larry Thompson,
LSS. Five soil borings were advanced with a hand-held auger at various locations within
the project study area and soil profiles were described. Observations of landscape (slope,
drainage patterns, past use, etc.) as well as soil properties (depth, texture, structure,
seasonal wetness, restrictive horizons, etc.) were recorded. Soil color was determined
with a Munsell Soil Color Chart.
FINDINGS
The most limiting properties with respect to on-site septic suitability was unsuitable
landscape position, fill material, soil wetness indicators, and depth to unsuitable saprolite.
Natural surfaces, when present, typically exhibited friable clay loam textures with weak,
medium, subangular structure 6 to 8 inches in depth. Lower subsurface horizons
exhibited firm clay with moderate, medium, subangular structure 12 to 16 inches in depth
before encountering an unsuitable feature.
The soils and site conditions observed would be considered "Unsuitable" for the
subsurface wastewater treatment and disposal per 15A NCAC 18A .1940, .1942, .1943,
and .1945. TEC is not aware of any innovative or alternative subsurface wastewater
treatment and disposal system that is currently approved for use in North Carolina that
can be permitted within the project study area. Given the available space and required
setbacks per 15A NCAC 02T,a surface discharge system will not be an option.
Given the site constraints, TEC would recommend hiring a professional engineer to
pursue permitting under NCDWR NPDES General Permit NCG55000.
CONCLUSION
The findings presented herein represent TEC's professional opinion based upon our soil
and site evaluation and knowledge of the current laws and regulations governing on-site

249 Quiet Waters Road —2— September 15,2020
wastewater systems in North Carolina (Section .1900 of the North Carolina
Administrative Code-NCAC).
Soils naturally change across a landscape and contain many inclusions. As such,attempts
to quantify them are not always precise and exact. Due to this inherent variability of soils
and the subjectivity when determining limiting factors, there is no guarantee that a
regulating authority will agree with the findings of this report.

- An illtniovative wastewater treatment s that REDUCES water consumption,
REUSES treated effluent and
RECYCLES water for indoor
or outdoor use to conserve and
recharge our water resources
The Singulair R3 Green treatment system incorporates our advanced water reuse
technology into a durable, watertight polyethylene tank. It is the cutting-edge
solution to chronic water shortages and reduces energy costs associated with water
and wastewater treatment. It quietly, efficiently and automatically treats all incoming
wastewater to the highest level for restricted indoor and unrestricted outdoor use.
According to the American Water Works Association, 84 percent of residential water
is used for non-potable applications, such as lawn irrigation, laundry and toilet
flushing. Due to its outstanding performance, the Singulair R3 qualifies for Green
Building credits under both the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) rating system and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) ICC 700

Preface
Performance evaluation of this residential wastewater treatment system is achieved within the provisions of
NSF/ANSI Standard 245: "Wastewater Treatment Systems—Nitrogen Reduction"and NSF/ANSI Standard 350:
"Onsite Residential and Commercial Water Reuse Treatment Systems".
Conformance with the Standards is recognized by issuance of the NAT Mark. This is not to be construed as an
approval of the equipment, but a certification of data provided by the test and an indication of compliance with
the requirements expressed in the Standards.
Systems conforming to NSF/ANSI Standard 245 must meet the average effluent requirements for five day
carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD5), total suspended solids (TSS) and pH and demonstrate
reduction of total nitrogen by more than 50%.The system must also, in the same configuration, be demonstrated
to have met the Class I requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 40 or must meet the Class I requirements of
NSF/ANSI Standard 40 during concurrent testing for nutrient removal. NSF/ANSI Standard 245 stipulates that
conformance to this Standard is determined using only data collected during the design loading periods. Data
collected from the stress sequences is reported but not calculated.
Systems conforming to NSF/ANSI Standard 40 are classified as Class I or Class II systems according to the
quality of effluent produced by the system during the performance evaluation. Class I systems must meet the
requirements of EPA Secondary Treatment Guidelines for five day carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand
(CBOD5),total suspended solids(TSS)and pH. Class I systems must also demonstrate performance consistent
with the effluent color, odor, oily film and foam requirements of the Standard.
Systems conforming to NSF/ANSI Standard 350 are classified as Class R (single family residential) or Class C
(commercial facilities) according to the flow capacity of the system and the type of waste treated. Onsite Reuse
Treatment Systems are evaluated to treat graywater or combined wastewater.Class R systems have a daily rated
treatment capacity of up to 1,500 GPD and Class C systems have a daily rated treatment capacities exceeding
1,500 GPD. Class R Systems must meet the effluent requirements for five-day carbonaceous biochemical
oxygen demand (CBOD5), total suspended solids (TSS), turbidity, pH and disinfection. Class R systems must
also demonstrate performance consistent with the effluent color, odor, oily film and foam requirements of the
Standard. NSF/ANSI Standard 350 stipulates that conformance to this Standard is determined using all data
collected during the entire performance evaluation.
Permission to use the NAT Mark is granted only after the equipment has been tested,found to perform satisfactorily
and all other requirements of the Standards have been satisfied. Continued use of the NAT Mark is dependent
upon evidence of compliance with the Standards and NAT policies. This compliance is determined by periodic
re-inspection of the equipment at the factory, auditing of distributors and reports from actual field installations.
The NSF/ANSI Standards require the testing laboratory to provide the manufacturer of a residential wastewater
treatment system with a report including significant data and appropriate commentary relative to the performance
evaluation of the system. NAT policy specifies provision of performance evaluation reports to appropriate state
regulatory agencies at their request. Subsequent direct distribution of the report by NAT is made only at the
specific request of, or by permission of, the manufacturer.
The following report contains results of the entire testing program, a description of the system, its operation and
key process control equipment, and a narrative summary of the test program, including test location, procedures
and significant occurrences. The system represented herein reflects the equipment authorized to bear the NAT
Mark.

Executive Summary
Testing of the Norweco, Inc. Singulair Model R3 Water Reuse System was conducted under the provisions of
NSF/ANSI Standard 245: "Wastewater Treatment Systems—Nitrogen Reduction",2013 revision, and NSF/ANSI
Standard 350:"Onsite Residential and Commercial Water Reuse Treatment Systems",2014 revision. NSF/ANSI
Standards 245 and 350 were developed by the NSF Joint Committee on Wastewater Technology.
The performance evaluation was conducted at the North American Testing, LLC (NAT) Water and Wastewater
Test Facility located in Norwalk, Ohio, USA using wastewater diverted from the Norwalk municipal wastewater
collection system, which serves a predominantly residential development. The evaluation consisted of a two
week startup period at design flow, sixteen weeks of testing at design flow, seven and one half weeks of stress
testing, and two and one half weeks of additional testing at design flow. Dosing at 500 gallons per day (GPD)
was initiated on January 20, 2017. After a two-week start up period, sample and data collection for the test
officially began on February 6, 2017. Sampling started in the winter and continued through the spring and
summer, covering a wide range of operating temperatures.
The Singulair Model R3 System produced an effluent that successfully met the Class I effluent requirements
established by NSF/ANSI Standard 40 for Class I effluent. The maximum 7-day arithmetic mean was 7 mg/L
for CBOD5 and 10.0 mg/L for total suspended solids, both below the allowed maximums of 40 and 45 mg/L,
respectively. The maximum 30-day arithmetic mean was 6 mg/L for CBOD5 and 8.7 mg/L for total suspended
solids, both below the allowed maximums of 25 mg/L and 30 mg/L, respectively.
The Singulair Model R3 System reduced total nitrogen an average of 65.7%over the course of the design loading
evaluation period and successfully met the performance requirements established by NSF/ANSI Standard 245
for greater than 50%total nitrogen reduction. During the design loading evaluation periods, the average influent
total nitrogen was 42.1 mg/L, and the average effluent total nitrogen was 14.4 mg/L. The system also met the
average effluent quality requirements for CBOD5 and TSS. During the design loading evaluation periods, the
average final effluent CBOD5 was 4 mg/L and the average effluent total suspended solids was 3.6 mg/L both
below the allowed maximums of 25 mg/L and 30 mg/L. respectively.
The Singulair Model R3 System produced an effluent that successfully met the performance requirements
established by NSF/ANSI Standard 350 for Class R Residential Wastewater Reuse Treatment Systems. Over
the course of the entire evaluation, the average final effluent CBOD5 was 5 mg/L, with a maximum single value
9 mg/L, both below the allowed maximums of 10 mg/L and 25 mg/L, respectively. The average effluent total
suspended solids was 4.6 mg/L, with a maximum single value 14.3 mg/L, both below the allowed maximums of
10 mg/L and 30 mg/L, respectively.The system achieving an average reduction in BOD5 of 98%and an average
reduction in total suspended solids of 97.4%.The average final effluent turbidity was 2.3 NTU with a maximum
single value of 8.3 NTU, both below the allowed maximums of 5 NTU and 10 NTU, respectively.The system also
produced a disinfected effluent which met the Class R disinfection requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 350.The
geometric mean of all final effluent E. Coli samples was 2 MPN/100 mL with a maximum single sample of 180
MPN/100 mL, both below the allowed maximums of 14 MPN/100 mL and 240 MPN/100 mL mg/L, respectively.
The Singulair Model R3 System met the general effluent requirements for pH, color, threshold odor, oily film
and foam. The effluent pH during the entire evaluation ranged between 7.0 and 7.7, within the range of 6.0
to 9.0 required by the Standards. The system also met the requirements for literature, materials, design and
