Enclosed is the original and two copies of the permit renewal application for
the above -described discharge permit. This permit involves the discharge of backwash
water from iron/manganese removal filters at a community well serving Fox Run
subdivision in Gaston County. Generally, one filter will backwash each day onto the
ground near the well lot located in the subdivision with an estimated backwash flow
of approximately 1,000 to 1,500 gallons per day.
There is no pretreatment of the backwash water prior to the discharge,
although it passes through a settling tank. Although no sludge has historically
accumulated or been removed from the settling tanks, if needed, the sludge would be
pumped by a permitted septage hauler and disposed of in one of Heater's existing
wastewater treatment plants or into a properly permitted municipal facility.
