Re: Permit Renewal —Wastewater Irrigation System
Town of Holly Ridge WWTP
Permit No. WQ0019907
Dear Ms. Raup-Plummer,
In response to your letter of April 18, 2022, regarding renewal of the above-referenced
permit, please find enclosed the following:
• A completed form WWIS 06-16, to request approval of a minor modification to: replace
and increase the number of floating mixers in the treatment lagoon; modify the
configuration of the flow baffle system; and replace the effluent UV system (damaged
during Hurricane Florence)with a tablet feeder for disinfection purposes. Please note that
ONWASA did not construct the lagoon treatment system and much of the original design
information requested on the form is not available from the records we have on this facility.
• Documentation on the Blue Frog floating mixer/aerator units installed in 2019, including
the layout of the units and baffles recommended by the equipment supplier (Absolute
Aeration, LLC). Installation was performed by in-house (ONWASA) staff, in conjunction
with a local electrical contractor and technical support from the supplier.
• Documentation of easements granted for the effluent outfall line from the treatment lagoon
to the sprayfield site.
Your letter also requested a copy of the original flow reduction approval letter for the Town
of Holly Ridge collection system. I have been unable to locate a hard copy of this document in
our files, and any scanned versions were most likely lost in a 2018 cyber-attack on our network.
I have attached a copy of a permit action from May 2008 that references a "previously approved"
flow reduction to 90 gpd/bedroom in the event this information would help locate it in your
archives.
Lastly, an executed engineering certification was requested for the minor modification.
Please clarify in what form this needs to be provided; I am able to certify that the work was
completed in accordance with the equipment supplier's requirements and the system put into full

operation, however as no approved plans or specifications were produced I am unable to certify
the work was done in compliance with those documents.
Thanks for your assistance in trying to get this situation resolved. If you have any
questions or need additional information please feel free to contact me directly at 910-937-7521

What NORD Will Do DRRVEBYSTEMS
Energy Independence&Security Act(EISA)2014
Expansion Ruling Raises Motor Efficiency Requirements
0Energy savings,lowering operating costs.and protecting the environment are all important to NORD.
This is precisely why NORD supports legislative efforts to increase energy efficiency not only in the US
but globally.
In May 2014,the U.S.Department of Energy(DOE)announced a revision to the 2007 EISA regulations.
[ry:'¢„ ~.,',/ The amended energy conservation legislation covering commercial and industrial electric motors is
under subpart B of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations.Part 431 (10 CFR Part 431). Effective
June 1,2016, almost all continuous duty,general purpose motors,must meet NEMA Premium Efficien-
cy levels per NEMA MG 1 Table 12-12 or Part 20,Table A or B.
AM, the
new law has removed many exemptions that had been part of the previous EISA regulations. With
the old regulations certain motors were allowed to operate within previous EPAct guidelines meaning
- they were allowed to meet energy efficiency levels per NEMA MG 1 Table 12-11 and certain motors were
exempt from any efficiency requirements.
The US motor efficiency laws and regulations only apply to motors that will be installed in the United
States. Other countries also have laws that mandate motor efficiency levels.but this paper only address
the US laws and regulations.
Why Improving Motor Efficiency Matters
Mandating higher motor efficiency levels is about managing resources and protecting the
environment. Improving motor operating efficiencies contributes to a number of societal
"Efficient use of benefits including,saving fossil fuels,reducing harmful air emission,improving air quality,
reducing acid rain and reducing the human impact on climate change. It has been report-
energy is also about ea that industrial electric motor driven systems used in production account for nearly 680
improving operating billion kWh,or about 23%of all the electricity sold in the USA. Motors used in industrial
cost-efficiencies and space heating,cooling and ventilation systems use an additional 68 billion kWh.
increasing profitability Efficient use of energy is also about improving operating cost-efficiencies and increasing
for a business and its profitability for business and investors. Motor systems are said to account for approxi-
investors, , mately 60-70%of the total energy used in industrialized areas. Studies have shown that
for many motor applications the combined costs of purchasing,installing and maintaining
these motors only represents about 5%or less of the cost of ownership whereas the oper-
ating energy costs represent nearly 95%of the cost of ownership.
What the 2014 EISA Law Includes
Excerpt from Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations,
Part 431 (10 CFR Part 431)§431.12 Definitions.
The 2104 EISA Expansion Ruling includes general purpose motors defined as follows:
(1) Is a single-speed,induction motor:
(2) Is rated for continuous duty(MG1)operation or for duty type S 1(IEC);
(3) Contains a squirrel-cage(MG1)or cage(IEC)rotor;
(4) Has foot-mounting that may include foot-mounting with flanges or detachable feet;
(5) Is built in accordance with NEMA T-frame dimensions or their IEC metric equivalents,including a
frame size that is between two consecutive NEMA frame sizes or their IEC metric equivalents:
(6) Has performance in accordance with NEMA Design A(MG1)or B(MG1)characteristics or
equivalent designs such as IEC Design N(IEC):
(7) Operates on polyphase alternating current 60-hertz sinusoidal power,and:
(i)Is rated at 230 or 460 volts(or both)including motors rated at multiple voltages that
include 230 or 460 volts(or both),or
(ti)Can be operated on 230 or 460 volts(or both);and
(8) Includes,but is not limited to,explosion-proof construction.

DRIYESYSTENiS What NOR® Will Do
Motors with their efficiency level increased to Premium Efficient in the 2014 EISA regulations:
•Gearmotors(motors) a Close-coupled pump motors
•Brakemotors • Footless motors
a Partial electric motors a 8-pole motors,and
a U-Frame a Special shaft/special flange motors
e NEMA design C
How this affects NORD and NORD's customers:
Continuous duty motors for integral gearmotors must be Premium Efficient level as defined in NEMA MG
1-2009 Table 12-12(enclosed motors)from 1 to 500hp effective June 1,2016_ In the past
motors for gearmotors did not have a legally mandated efficiency level.
Another point to the law is the efficiency requirement only applies to motors for"Continuous "in many dynamic
Duty"according the NEMA MG1 or"S1-according to IEC standards. NORD will provide or high cycling
motors rated for intermittent operation for non-continuous applications. applications, the
One disadvantage to higher efficiency motors,like Premium Efficient,is that they have more Premium Efficient
rotating mass(or inertia). This increased inertia takes energy to start and stop. In many motor can actually
dynamic or high cycling applications the Premium Efficient motor can actually consume consume more
more electrical energy than a low inertia lower efficient design_ As a result,NORD will con-
tinue to provide a low inertia,lower efficient motor as an option for our customers. However electrical energy than
these motors will not be rated for continuous duty and are not to be used on continuous duty a low inertia lower
applications. efficient design."
The rated motor efficiencies do not tell the whole story about energy consumption. The
correct perspective for energy savings is to focus on the consumed energy for a system and
not on the motor rated efficiency alone. A higher rated motor efficiency does not ensure lower energy
usage in an actual application.
Continuous Duty vs Intermittent Duty
A critical factor for determining if a motor needs to be Premium Efficient is deciding if the application tt
requires a motor rated for continuous operation or it the application is intermittent in nature and an inter- I ContInuou,Duty
mittent rated motor can be applied.
The basic decision for Continuous or Intermittent is rather easy. If the motor is switched on and runs T.
continuously then the motor should be rated for continuous duty. If the motor is switched on for a short
time or has a cyclic operation then the motor can be rated intermittent operation and the motor has no V '
efficiency requirement. If it is not clear if the motor is continuous or intermittent the motor operation time
can be evaluated. If the motor is running more than one hour continuously with no switching on or off
during that time.then.in general,the application is continuous and a continuous duty motor is required. n[emdllant Duty
If the motor runs for less than an hour continuously then the application can be considered intermittent
and the motor can be an intermittent duty motor.
Typical continuous applications Typical intermittent applications(ctd.)
a Bucket elevators a Packaging equipment
a Bulk material handling conveyors ■Palletizing
e Continuous flow pumps a Punch presses
a Continuous mixers a Short time or batch mixing
•Slide gates
Typical intermittent applications •Sortation conveyors
■Crane drives(travel&hoist) a Theatrical(hoists&winches)
•Doors a Turntables
■Hoists&lifts is Valve actuators
•Indexing systems a Winches
•Machine tools a Winders&coilers
✓Metering pumps •Zone control conveyors
In the new regulations general purpose motors are defined as according to the IEC duty class S 1(con-
tinuous duty). This means the other IEC duty classes S2—SW are not general purpose motors and
therefore are not covered by efficiency level requirements.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION Blue Frog® 01/20
3.0 ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
3.1 GENERAL
Blue Frog®units are factory assembled and shipped to the job site. Prior to installing the units, the
lid must be removed, and the breather's rubber sealing plug must be removed from the oil chamber
(this is marked with a yellow tag on the motor). The wood support bottom under the prop must also
be removed. Once this is done the unit is ready for installation.
3.2 ANCHORING
Painted steel stakes, length 34" x 0.75" are included and are to be attached at the
shoreline. There is a steel welded plate on each stake to prevent pullouts. Alternatively—
cement filled mooring posts can be used (optional upgrade).

3.3 TETHERING
All units need to be tethered to shore with 1/" UV Polypropylene resistant rope
(included) tied through two "tie offs" which are molded to the chassis. Alternatively, units
may be tethered using stainless steel cable and clamps according to engineered
specifications included in a separate document.
The UV enhanced Polypropylene fibers ensure longer life.
The rope will be used to secure the unit to the lagoon berm tied tight enough to prevent
it from rotating in either direction.
The rope will have sufficient slack so it lies on top of the water.

Each mooring connection shall include one (1) Snap Hook and (2) Rope Clips (ABOVE)
3.4 ELECTRICAL POWER CABLE
The power cable (By Others) shall be attached and sealed into the junction box. Some
wastewater conditions require the use of special cable jackets because of chemicals and
solvents. However, wet-duty service is acceptable. A good quality copper-stranded, 4-
conductor cable should be used for the power supply. For Blue Frogs®, we
recommend 12/4 SOOW 4.5-amp (equal or better). When selecting a cable, the line
loss should be carefully checked to assure the full voltage requirements at the motor.
Low voltage can severely shorten the life of the motor.
A strain relief grip (optional) should be placed on the electrical cable around the junction
box area and attached to the motor lift eye; this will relieve any undue stress or strain on
the cable.
The power cable should be protected from friction wear damage to the cable jack (which
can cause a ground short). This is normally caused by the cable rubbing against the
float. A power cable support bracket (optional) should be used to protect the cable.
Also, care must be taken to prevent the power cable from being drawn up into the
suction of the unit or propeller, as cable damage will occur.
3.5 SAMPLE OF PROPER ELECTRICAL CORD CONNECTION:
The electrical cord is zip-tied to the tethering rope -12" from the edge of the BF's upper
lip. There should be visible slack in the electrical cord between the zip tie and the
dust cover. NOTE: The power cable should be wrapped in a protective rubber sleeve
to prevent direct contact with the mooring rope.

SECTION 3, PAGE 4
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION Blue Fro RO 01 /20
3.6 WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
3.6.1 General
Proper wiring of the unit is essential in the installation of the unit. Faulty wiring
will cause premature failure of the unit.
3.6.2 Wiring the Motor
When wiring a motor (230/460/575 Volt 60 hertz or 190/380/600 Volt 50 hertz),
wire for high or low voltage in accordance with the motor nameplate. Select a
cable suitable to the National Electrical Manufacturer's Association's ratings for
the voltage, amperage, and environmental conditions. Remember, light cables
and resultant voltage drop may shorten the life of a motor considerably.
The junction box is threaded to receive an N.P.T. fitting for a watertight
connector. Field -wired units must also be fitted with water fight fittings to seal the
cable entrance to the junction box. Without fittings of this type, no warranty will
be extended by Aerator Solutions.
"STA-KON" closed -eye connectors should be used to provide "bolt and nut"
connectors from the motor leads to the power supply leads. A secure connection
is important at this point. Following this, rubber insulated tape should be used to
wrap each set of leads. After wrapping a thickness of %" or more of rubber
insulated tape, several wraps of plastic insulated tape (Scotch 3M, Type 33 or
equal) should be applied. After wrapping the leads with the two types of tape,

SECTION 3, PAGE 5
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION Blue Frog® 01/20
push the leads back into the junction box. Apply silicone type sealer to the
parting lines of the junction box. Bolt lid evenly in place and be certain all screws
or bolts are firmly secure.
Any time the junction box seal is broken, resealing is mandatory prior to starting
the unit again.
3.6.3 Electrical Connection at the Control Panel
The electrical connection in the control panel should be made to the proper
starter. Also, the ground lead must be firmly connected to a good ground lug.
Finally, the heaters and fuses should be checked for proper sizes and
application.
3.7 INSTALLATION
Aerator Solutions is not responsible for installing the system. A field representative will be
onsite in a supervisory role only. Blue Frog® System installation will be scheduled upon
notification that the electrical requirements have been completed.
The required placement equipment should be available during the entire installation. The
equipment can be a small crane, backhoe or a telehandler with a rated load capacity of 700
pounds and must have a minimum 25' reach capability.
..
.,
J.
k.
l
A small flat bottom boat (BY OTHERS) may be useful during the installation to tow units
and may also be used to take the sludge measurements.
Before scheduling an installation date, all electrical requirements must be completed.
If it was determined that removal of the existing aerators, mooring cables and post, and
baffle curtain is required, this should be completed before the installation.

SECTION 3, PAGE 6
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION Blue Frog®01/20
All required electrical improvements including but not limited to an electrician to wire-up
units during installation, the power to the electrical rack, electrical racks, wiring, conduits,
lightning protection, and electrical supply cords to be provided BY OTHERS.

SECTION 4, PAGE 1
START-UP & OPERATION Blue Frog® 01/20
4.0 START-UP & OPERATION
4.1 INITIAL STARTUP
After all necessary wiring and mooring is finished, the unit should be started. Immediately
observe the operation of the unit. If a good continuous discharge is noticed, the unit can be
checked for running amperage.
4.2 MOTOR AMPS
When installing the units, read the nameplate current (Amps) at the corresponding voltage,
and write it inside the starter control panel door. Using an accurately calibrated amp probe,
check all three phases of the unit. Normal power draw will usually be about 90% of full load
amps shown on the nameplate.
Anything other than normal should be reported to the factory at once. If the unit is pulling
normal current, recheck it 30 minutes after it has been started. This will allow the motor
sufficient warm-up time. The reading you obtain should be the reading of the unit's normal
operating range. The unit should not be operated above the full load amps shown on the
motor nameplate.
4.3 POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE
Today's power suppliers offer 230/460/575 volt 60 Hz, or 190/380/600 volt 50 Hz as
standard. It is unlikely that your voltage will be exactly one or the other. Motor
manufacturers allow a ± 10% variation* in the operation of their motors. Motor
manufacturers and/or Aerator Solutions will not be responsible for motor failure due to
voltage more or less than the allowable tolerance. Also, neither will we be responsible for
motor failure due to unbalanced voltage of the three phases. If you have a high, low or
unbalanced voltage problem, make sure you correct it before connecting any motors to it.
Specialty wound motors are available if the power source cannot be corrected.
Check the voltage at the control box prior to applying power to any unit. Low voltage can
result in insufficient voltage to the motor and early motor failure. Excessive voltage can
over-excite the motor and also cause motor failure. The voltage at the motor will be
affected by the power cable size and length. Proper cable size selection is mandatory to
ensure proper operation of the motor and to maintain the motor warranty.
*± 10% variation can be tolerated on all voltage variations at the rated frequency, or 10%
variation of the sum of voltage and frequency, with frequency not exceeding 5% variation.

SECTION 4, PAGE 2
START-UP & OPERATION Blue Frog®01/20
4.4 ENVIRONMENTAL DEBRIS
The Blue Frog® creates suction and will ingest any waterlogged or submerged materials
that get near its intake. Its' rugged construction allows most material to pass through.
However, a large growth of aquatic plants, logs, tree limbs and branches, wire, rags, rope,
burlap, plastic bags, flushable wipes and similar objects can cause problems. They may
even clog or damage the unit. They should be kept out of the system. Means of
preventing debris and influent trash from entering the basin are recommended.
Before start-up the basin should be cleaned as thoroughly as possible, preferably before
filling. Damage resulting from abnormal operation hazards, such as above, is not covered
in the warranty on Blue Frog® units. Also, abnormal parts wear caused by abrasive
materials is not considered warrantable.
4.5 OPERATING THE BLUE FROG® SYSTEM
Each Blue Frog® is designed to operate with the impeller turning clockwise; this is the standard
mode of operation and will circulate approximately 2 MGD of water. This mode of operation is
referred to as "AERATION MODE" and is characterized by a cyclically interrupted flow pattern
and copious amounts of bubbles. If you are unsure of the direction of flow please contact Aerator
Solutions for confirmation.
Turn the control panel main disconnect"ON" and press "AERATION MODE" to begin operation
of the unit(s). A "GREEN" indicator light will illuminate to indicate the unit is running.
Some Blue Frog®units will be set to operate with the impeller turning counter clockwise; this is the
alternate mode of operation and will circulate approximately 7 MGD of water. This mode of
operation is referred to as "MIX MODE" and is characterized by a smooth continuous flow pattern
with little to no bubbles. If you are unsure of the direction of flow please contact Aerator Solutions
for confirmation.
Turn the control panel main disconnect"ON" and press "MIX MODE" to begin operation of the
unit(s). A "GREEN" indicator light will illuminate to indicate the unit is running.
DO NOT CHANGE DIRECTION OF ROTATION unless specifically instructed by Aerator
Solutions' personnel.
Correct placement of the Blue Frog® is critical to the overall effectiveness of the patented flow
pattern and formation of sludge granules.Please reference drawings located in Addendum No.1 of
this manual for correct positioning.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS Blue Frog® 01/20
6.0 STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 INTRODUCTION
The intent of this section is to establish minimum storage standards for Blue Frog® units.
The shipping base removed during installation should be replaced if the units are removed
from water for storage.
6.2 WHEN TO PUT A BLUE FROG®INTO STORAGE
If the equipment is not put into immediate use it should be stored in a clean, dry location.
For long periods of storage, especially where moisture or dust is prevalent, the equipment
should be covered to protect it from corrosion. If the motor is to be stored over one month,
the shaft should be rotated about ten revolutions at least once a month.
6.3 GENERAL STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS
6.3.1 Storage Area
To ensure proper maintenance of the motor, the motor should be stored in a
clean, dry heated warehouse. Storage area should be free of ambient vibration.
Where no heat is available in the warehouse, space heaters or an auxiliary heat
source should be applied.
Where indoor storage is not available, motor must be covered with a tarpaulin.
Auxiliary heat must be supplied.
Vertical motors should be stored such that the shaft extension is accessible and
rotation is possible.
Precautions should be taken to prevent rodents, snakes, birds, or other small
animals from nesting inside motors. In areas where they are prevalent,
precautions must also be taken to prevent insects, such as mud dauber wasps,
from gaining access to the interior of the motor.
