1. Facility and Address: Hubert Water Plant
Onslow County Water Department
Post Office Box 1415
Jacksonville, North Carolina 28540
2. Date of Investigation: May 24, 1993
3. Report Prepared by: Edward Beck
4. Persons Contacted and Telephone Number:
Kenny Keel, Consultant [phone]
5. Directions to Site: The discharge point is to be to Queen
Creek at N.C. Highway 24 east of Hubert.
6. Discharge Point(s), List for all discharge points:
Latitude: 34° 42' 45" Longitude: 77° 13' 22"
Attach a USGS map extract and indicate treatment facility site
and discharge point on map.
U.S.G.S. Quad No: U.S.G.S. Quad Name: Hubert
7. Site size and expansion area consistent with application ?
X Yes No If No, explain:
8. Topography (relationship to flood plain included): Location
of water treatment facility not specified.
PLOTTED

9. Location of nearest dwelling: Two sites are given for
location of water treatment facility. It appears that there
are no houses in the immediate vicinity.
10. Receiving stream or affected surface waters: Queen Creek
a. Classification: Class SA
b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: 03-05-01
c. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent
downstream uses: Upper drainage area is rural.
There is one permitted discharge to Bell Swamp
which is a tributary to Queen Creek. The stream
channel at the proposed point of discharge is 20 to
30 feet wide and appears deep and well defined.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1. a. Volume of Wastewater to be permitted: 0.2 MGD (Ultimate
Design Capacity).
b. What is the current permitted flow limit? Proposed
c. Actual treatment capacity of the current facility
(current design capacity)? Proposed
d. Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous
Authorizations to Construct issued in the previous two
years: NA
e. Please provide a description of existing or substantially
constructed wastewater treatment facilities: None
f. Please provide a description of proposed wastewater
treatment facilities: Two lagoons for settling solids in
softener backwash.
g•
Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: Chlorine
h. Pretreatment Program (POTWs only):
in development approved
should be required not needed X
2. Residuals handling and utilization/disposal scheme:
Residuals which settle in the sludge lagoons will need to be
removed occasionally. It is proposed that solids be handled by
a solids contractor who will either land apply on a permitted
site or dewater and haul to the landfill.

a. If residuals are being land applied, please specify DEM
Permit No.
Residuals Contractor:
Telephone No.:
b. Residuals stabilization: PSRP PFRP Other
c. Landfill:
d. Other disposal/utilization scheme (Specify):

sheet) : Class I
4. SIC Code(s): 4941
Wastewater Code(s) Primary: 22 Secondary:
Main Treatment Unit Code: 50
PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant
Funds or are any public monies (municipals only) involved?
No
2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity)
requests: See comments
3. Important SOC, JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: (Please
indicate)
Date:
Submission of Plans and Specifications:
Begin Construction:
Complete Construction:
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: Has the facility evaluated
all of the non -discharge options available? Please provide
regional perspective for each option evaluated.
Spray Irrigation: Not desirable due to potential impact on
groundwater
Connection to Regional Sewer System: Not available
Subsurface: Not desirable due potential impact on groundwater

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The receiving stream, which is classified Class SA, appears to
be tidal and saline at the proposed point of discharge. It is
anticipated that the discharge should have little adverse
impact on water quality.
It is recommended that a permit be drafted containing standard
effluent limits and monitoring requirements for backwash
discharges from water treatment plants. If no significant
adverse comment is received, it is recommended that a permit
be issued for a period of five years.
