10. Receiving stream or affected surface waters: UT to East Fork Twelvemile Creek
a. Classification: C
b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Catawba 030838
c. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: The discharge
will be into a ephemeral drainage feature (dry ditch) that travels for some
unknown distance before reaching the UT. This channel is typically dry except
during periods of wet -weather. Other SW outfalls at this facility also discharge at
this same location. There are no known downstream users prior to the UT
reaching the main segment of East Fork Twelve Mile Creek.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1. a. Volume of wastewater: The applicant has indicated a flow of < 0.0075 MGD
b. What is the current permitted capacity: There is no permitted capacity
c. Actual treatment capacity of current facility (current design capacity): N/A
d. Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous ATCs issued in the
previous two years: New facility.
e. Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: There are no
existing WWT facilities.
f. Description of proposed WWT facilities: There are no proposed at this time.
g.
Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: There are no toxic impacts expected as
there are no additives placed in the waste stream.
2. Residual handling and utilization/disposal scheme: Residual generation is not expected.
3. Treatment plant classification: This facility does not meet the minimum classification for
a Class I rating.
4. SIC Code(s): 2851 Wastewater Code(s): 14 MTU Code(s): N/A
PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant Funds or are any public monies
involved (municipals only)? No public monies were used in the construction of this
facility.

4. Alternative analysis evaluation
a. Spray Irrigation: Insufficient area.
b. Connect to regional sewer system: The local POTW has rejected the discharge of
condensate into their collection system.
c. Subsurface: Insufficient area.
d. Other disposal options: None that we are aware.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant has requested the issuance of a Certificate of Coverage (COC) for the
discharge of condensate into an ephemeral SW channel on the west side of the site. The
discharge would enter the channel at the same point where other existing SW outfalls also
discharge at the edge of the property. There are no biocidal additives placed in the waste stream.
Pending a final review by the NPDES Unit, it is recommended a COC be issued as
requested.
