1996.
2. This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in the
application and other supporting data.
3. The facilities must be properly maintained and operated at all times.
4. This permit is not transferable. In the event there is a desire for the facilities to change ownership, or
there is a name change of the Permittee, a formal permit request must be submitted to the Division of

and other supporting materials as may be appropriate. The approval of this request will be considered
on its merits and may or may not be approved.
5. Construction of the gravity sewers shall be scheduled so as not to interrupt service by the existing
utilities nor result in an overflow or bypass discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State.
6. Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification
and a copy of the record drawings (i.e., as constructed plans) must be received from a professional
engineer certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in accordance with the Division of
Water Quality Gravity Sewer Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996, and other supporting
materials. If this project is to be completed in phases and partially certified, you shall retain the
responsibility to track further construction approved under the same permit, and shall provide a final
certificate of completion once the entire project has been completed. A copy of the record drawings,
indicating the facilities constructed in the phase being certified, shall be submitted with each partial
certification. Mail the Certification and one (1) copy of the "Record Drawings" to the Non -Discharge
Permitting Unit, P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, NC 27626-0535.

Re: Permit No. NC0074632

Dear Mr. Wiggins:
With reference to our telephone conversation this morning, we
offer the following responses:
"Is the proposed WWTP located above the 100-year flood elevation?"
There is not an established FEMA 100-year flood elevation for this
location. In order to obtain our drainage and erosion control permits
from Mecklenburg County we will have to perform an hydrologic and
hydraulic analysis of the drainage basin and the channel. This
analysis will establish the 100-year flood elevation, and local
permits will require the WWTP to be constructed above the flood
elevation.
"What method of sludge disposal will be used?"
Sludge will be removed from this plant and transported to an existing
C-MUD facility, most likely the McAlpine Wastewater Treatment Plant,
for disposal by C-MUD.
Please advise if you need any further information.
Cordially,
Riley 4+'i. Burgess,

S ANALYSIS
The conditions as outlined in the original NPDES permit
application. have not changed with respect to alternate wastewater
treatment and disposal.
With reference to that original proposa , here is a brief synosis
of the various alternatives;
Subsurface Treatment: The predominant soil types andthe
topography prohibit installation of either a community -wide
system, or individual septic, tank systems.
Surfae 7jeatnujt and Disposal (Spray Irrigation) ; As above,
the soil types, topography, and proximity to numerous
streams prohibit installation of a managable and reliable
spray irrigation system. Further, the land area required.
due to these soil and topo conditions, would be
prohibitively expensive and consumptive.
Connection to Municzpal Aystem C-itiUD)1 Charlotte
-
Mecklenburg Utility Department (C-MUD) policy dicates that
service to this project would involve constructing a new
regional type pumping station downstream of the project. Not
only would this involve the new pump station. and force
mains, but would also require outfalls extending upstream to
two existing smaller pump stations to eliminate them from
the system. None of this infrastructure inprovement is
identified as a C-MUD capital improvement projectwhich
makes this option economically unfeasible for private
development.
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)t It remains evident that
the only physically and economically feasible option is
phased. construction of a wastewater treatment facility with
discharge to the stream, as previously identified.
As previously indicated, the proposed facility will likely be
comprised of one or more extended air treatment plant units. Current
plans for sludge disposal are to deliver the product to one or more
existing C-MUD wastewater treatment plants for further treatment and
ultimate disposal.
