Your application for n NPDES Permit to discharge treated wastewater into an
unnamed tr i'haai ary to Coddle Creek from a proposed wastewater treatment facility
serving to single family residence was received on June 15, 1987. Our Mooresville
Regional Office has performed a site investigation and the Division has completed
its review of the permit application.
Our review has determined that the receiving stream designated by you has no
natural flow on at least seven (7) consecutive days during a ten (10) year period
and on at least thirty (30) consecutive days in a two (2) year period. We refer to
this stream as having a zero 7Q10 flow and a zero 30Q2 flow. The steady-state
models, routinely used by the Division of Environmental Management to simulate
stream :reactions and calculate effluent limitations, do not apply to zero flow
steams. Therefore, we have no way to establish, discharge limitations that will
comply with our statutes and regulations.
After thirty (30) days from receipt of this letter, this Division will formally
deny your application for a NPDES Permit unless you wit your request.
If you have questions on this permit application, please contact Mr. Arthur
Mouberry at [phone],

800 gallon capacity chlorination tank with a tablet
chlorinator, and associated pumps and pipes. The effluent

Page Three
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A trickling amount of flow in the unnamed tributary to
Coddle Creek that will receive the discharge was observed during
the on -site investigation conducted by this Office on June 29,
1987. In our opinion the designated receiving stream does not,
meet the 7Q10 flow criterion. It is also highly unlikely that
the effluent generated from the proposed facilities would meet
the limits of 15 and 4. Thus we recommend that the permit be
denied.

ENGINEERING PROPOSAL
RICHARD B. PETERSON SAND FILTER SYSTEM
COCHRAN ROAD OFF ROBERTA ROAD
TOWNSHIP #2,, CABARRUS COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
This, wastewater treatment and disposal system will be
handling domestic sewage being generated for a proposed three -
bedroom residence located along Cochran Road off Roberta Road
in Cabarrus County,x N.C.
For a proposed residence use a 1,,500 gallon capacity precast
concrete septic tank, Connect septic tank using 4"0 Schedule
40 PVC piping laid at 1.00% minimum slope to a new 1000 gallon
capacity precast concrete dosing tank to be located nearby.
Within this dosing tank, install a z horsepower submersible
sewage effluent pump connected with 2"0 PVC manifold piping
and 114"0 PVC laterals with 3/16"0 orifices located along the
top portion of the sand filter bed. The subsurface sand filter
bed shall be 20 feet wide by 25 feet long at its base and shall
utilize 20 mil plastic moisture barrier along its base and
sides. The top of the sand filter bed shall be left approximate
a foot higher than adjacent yard elevations. The bottom of
the sand filter bed shall consist of 2 inches of cushioning
sand layer on each side of the moisture membrane. Upon the
cushioning sand layer, install 4"0 porous plastic tubing underdrains
in an 8 inch layer of washed stone of 3/4"0 to 11/4"0 size material.
Upon the stone base shall be placed a 30 inch thick layer of
sand filtering medium using sand that has been approved by
the Division of Environmental Management for sand filters.
Above the filtering sand shall be placed the 11/4"0/ PVC distribution
laterals and 2"0 PVC manifold piping in a 6" thick layer of
washed stone of 3/4"0 to 11/2"0 size material. Shape the adjacent
yard surface area such that stormwater runoff drains away from
the area of the sand filter bed.
The underdrains of the sand filter bed shall be connected
with 4"0 Schedule 40 PVC piping material laid at 1.001 minimum
grade to a precast concrete chlorination tank of 800 gallons
capacity. Within this tank shall be located a SanVril Model
200/Mini San tablet chlorinator for disinfecting treated wastewater.
Also within the chlorinator tank shall be located a 1/3 horsepower
oil -less diaphragm air compressor connected with 3/4"0 Schedule
40 PVC air piping with 1/8"0 orifices for difusing air into

engineering Proposal
Richard B. Peterson Sand Filter System
Page -2-
the wastewater prior to its discharge. Said air compressor
shall be activated by use of a timer which will run the air
compressor for 15 minutes intervals every 6 hours.
The outlet of the chlorination tank shall be connected
through a sanitary tee with 4"0 Schedule 40 PVC piping laid
at 1.00% minumum grade to the point of discharge,, which shall
be located approximately 1000 linear feet from the residence
at the bank of an un-named tributary to Coddle Creek near Roberta
Mill.
The sewage effluent pump located within the dosing tank
shall be operated automatically usig float operated "On -Off"
piggy back mercury fluid contact switch set to the desired
dosing volume. Within the dosing tank, and supplied by a separate
circuit from that supplying power to the effluent pump', shall
be located another mercury fluid contact switch which shall
activate a Home Owner warning Panel to give warnings of malfunctions
of system components. Such warning panel shall be similiar
to "Tank Alert" by S.J. Electro Systems,, Inc., or approved
equal.
The Owner of the residence and property shall be the Owner
and responsible operator of the entire wastewater treament
and disposal system and shall agree to provide long term treatment
and disposal of wastewater generated by the residence to be
built. All septage shall be properly disposed of as required
by the Division of Environmental Management.
It is the opinion of this Engineer that the proposed treatment
facilities,. when properly constructed operated and maintained,
shall be capable of providing adequate treatment of generated
wastewates and should therefore have insignificant detrimental
effect upon the receiving water nearby.
