Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality Mr. Harvey Murphrey 808 Eagle Rock Road Wendell, North Carolina 27591 July 8, 2005 Subject: Modification of NPDES Permit NPDES Permit NC0040266 Knightdale Estates MHP WWTP Wake County Dear Mr. Murphrey: In accordance with the Settlement Agreement and Withdrawal of Petition for Case No. 04 EHR 2018, and after considering comments on the draft permit, the Division is approving Knightdale Estates' request for NPDES permit modification and is enclosing the revised permit pages. Please insert these pages into your permit and discard the corresponding pages they replace. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9,1994, as revised. Notice of the draft permit was published in The News & Observer on May 27, 2005. Mrs. Murphrey's June 15 e-mails and June 21 letter were the only response during the 30-day comment period. The June 21 letter asked that the permit be written to allow Knightdale Estates to resume 1/Week monitoring as of September 21, which will mark six months of increased monitoring. Before we can approve the change, we must first review your discharge results for that period and verify compliance. Therefore, we are issuing the permit as drafted, and you must continue monitoring 2/Week until we issue that approval. In order to minimize your monitoring costs beyond September 21, you should submit the six months' data as soon as you have the test results. We will anticipate your submittal and make every effort to respond promptly. If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding. Please take notice that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division of Water Quality. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality, the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act, or any other federal or local governmental permit.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. SINCEaLY, BETTY MPHREY GENERAL PARTNER Re: Fw: Knightdale Estates Permit NC0040266 Subject: Re: Fw: Knightdale Estates Permit NC0040266 From: "Mike.Templeton" <Mike.Templeton@ncmail.net> Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2005 17:06:20 -0400 To: Betty Murphrey <bejoyful@bellsouth.net> Mrs. Murphrey - The permit explains the process we propose to follow to reduce your monitoring frequencies. The last footnote in Condition A.(1.) reads: 7. If six months' monitoring results demonstrate that the facility has consistently complied with these permit limits, the Permittee may request, and the Division will enact, reduction of the monitoring frequencies to 1/Week for the remainder of the permit term. You are correct that the permit does not automatically end the 2/Week monitoring after six months. That is by design, as we must consider the possibility that some data in those months will exceed permit limits, thereby requiring that you continue 2/Week monitoring for some period of time. We believe the proposed approach is the quickest way to demonstrate compliance at the treatment plant so that we can reduce your monitoring requirements - and your monitoring costs. We believe that it is consistent with our settlement of this matter. You are certainly welcome to provide comments on the draft permit if you disagree. Here is a bit more on how this approach is meant to work. As the draft permit says, you begin the process after six months by sending us a written request. Your submittal should include your discharge data in addition to a letter from you verifying compliance and requesting reduced monitoring. I must have the full six months of data before I act on your request. If the data show consistent compliance (as we all expect), we will issue an approval letter to you, reducing the monitoring to 1/Week. This will not require any change in the permit itself, and no public notice, so I expect to respond promptly if your submittal is in order. You started 2/week monitoring in late March and so will have six months of data by late September. If you submit the request and the data right away, as proposed, I could respond as early as the end of September. The alternative would be for DWQ to initiate the change based on our review of your DMRs. We would receive the last of the required data with your September monitoring report, which is not due to us until mid -November. I would begin my review in late November. This would require you to monitor 1/Week for about two months longer than we propose. I hope this answers your question and clarifies the intent of the permit language. Please let me know if you have any other questions on this matter. - Mike Templeton Betty Murphrey wrote: Sorry, Mike, the correct date we started monitoring twice a week is March 21, 2005, as our letter of March 21, 2005, to the Director stated.

We started monitoring twice a week on March 23, 2005 and have been compliant since then and expect to continue to be compliant. The draft permit does not provide for our being able to discontinue this extra monitoring on September 23 (exactly when the six months are up). Considering the length of time it takes to get things changed with DWQ, I want to be sure that we are able to stop the extra monitoring on September 23 if we are 100% compliant until then.

Gen. Stat. §150B-31(b). This matter arose out of DWQ's issuance of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") Permit NC0040266 to Knightdale Estates. DWQ issued the NPDES Permit on July 9, 2004 and Knightdale Estates filed a Petition for a Contested Case Hearing on November 9, 2004. Without any hearing of fact or law in the above -styled matter, IT IS THEREFORE AGREED BY THE PARTIES THAT: 1. In order to avoid the cost and delay of further litigation and without admitting liability, the parties have entered into this Agreement and have agreed that all parties have been correctly designated and that there is no question as to misjoinder or nonjoinder. 2. Petitioner will request a modification to NPDES Permit NC0040266. Petitioner will request that it be modified to: a. Require Petitioner to conduct monitoring for BOD, Total Suspended Solids, total residual chlorine, fecal coliform, pH, Dissolved Oxygen, and temperature twice per week for a period of six (6) months, with a review of monitoring results to be conducted at the end of this period. b. State that if, at this review, Petitioner has demonstrated compliance with all permit limits during this six (6) month period, then Petitioner shall be required to conduct monitoring for these parameters once per week for the remainder of the permit. 3. Once Petitioner has applied for the modification, Respondent will not take enforcement action for Petitioner's failure to conduct the three times per week monitoring for these parameters that is currently required by NPDES Permit NC0040266. 4. Prior to May 1, 2005, Respondent will issue a draft permit reflecting these modifications. The draft permit will then be subject to the provisions of 15A NCAC 2H .0100 et seq. relating to the approval of permits. 5. The parties agree that the consideration for this agreement is the promises contained herein and that this Agreement contains the whole agreement between them. 6. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties, their successors and assigns, upon execution by the undersigned, who represent and warrant that they are authorized to enter into this agreement on behalf of the parties hereto. WITHDRAWAL OF PETITION 7. Entry of this Agreement serves as Petitioner's Withdrawal of its Petition for a Contested Case Hearing in these matters.

GENERAL The Knightdale Estates Mobile Home Park is located in eastern Wake County on Hodge Road (SR 2516), approximately 2 miles south of the Town of Knightdale. The entrance to the Mobile Home Park is also located approximately 0.34 miles north of the intersection with Hodge Road (SR 2516) and Poole Road. The park has space for 115 mobile homes of which five (5) have septic tanks and 110 discharge to the exiting wastewater treatment plant. Water is provided by two (2) ,v„r ground water supply wells. Wastewater generated by the park is treated by an existing package treatment plant located on site. The wastewater treatment plant has been in operation for approximately 30 years and discharges into an unnamed tributary of the Neuse River. The treatment capacity of the plant is 25,000 gallons per day (gpd). B. IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION Provided below in Table No. 1 is the basic information for the existing wastewater treatment facilities. The location of the Mobile Home Park and existing mit treatment facility is presented in Figure No. 1.

PROJECT OBJECTIVE The objective of this report is to evaluate alternatives for disposal of the treated wastewater by means other than surface water disposal. This analysis is required by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality as part of the NPDES renewal process. D. WASTEWATER FLOW RATES The design wastewater flow for the disposal alternatives has been calculated to be 28,800 gallons per day. This is based on an estimated 90 mobile homes having two (2) bedrooms and 20 having three (3) bedrooms. The remaining 5 mobile homes that are located in the park are served by individual septic tanks. The minimum flow for a two bedroom dwelling is 240 gpd and 120 gpd for each additional bedroom, which is in accordance with Section 15A NCAC 2H .0219 of Division of Water Quality's regulations. Presented below in Table No. 2 is a summary of the design flow estimate. Presented below in Table No. 3 are the average and maximum flow rates metered through the winter of 2004/2005. The reported average flow rate of 11,825 gpd is considerably less than the design flow of 28,800 gpd required by the regulations. The low flow could be contributed to the low -flow devices that are typically installed in the newer mobile homes. The Owner reports that the all of the 3-bedroom Knightdale Estates Mobile Home Park — "Wastewater Disposal Alternative Analysis" Page-2 Earth Tech of North Carolina, Inc., Project No. 85748 May 2005 w s Mar air gill Olt mobile homes have low flow faucets and water closets as do many of the 2-bedroom units, especially the newer units. It is not expected for the design flow rate to increase in the future since there are no plans or available land to expand the size of the park.

EXISTING FACILITIES The existing treatment plant is a package unit that is constructed of steel, is buried and has a design capacity of 25,000 gallons per day (gpd). A schematic of the treatment facilities is presented in Figure No. 2. A manual bar screen is located at the head of the plant and has 1" openings between the bars. The flow through the bar rack enters aeration basin. Treatment is provided in an aeration basin having a volume of approximately 25,100 gallons. Air is provided by rotary blowers along one side on the tank, which creates a roll that keeps the contents mixed and aerated. Solids are allowed to settle form the effluent in the secondary clarifier. The rectangular shaped clarifier has an approximate overflow rate of 208 gallons per day per Knightdale Estates Mobile Home Park — "Wastewater Disposal Alternative Analysis" Page-3 Earth Tech of North Carolina, Inc., Project No. 85748 May 2005 square foot. There are dual sludge collection cones in the bottom of the clarifier. Air lift piping is suspended to the bottom of each cone for sludge removal. The sludge is returned to the aeration basin by way of the air lift pumps. Waste sludge can be discharged to the digester section of the package plant. A scum baffle and v-notch weir plate are located at the effluent end of the clarifier tank. The effluent is disinfected by way of chlorine tablets and a contact chamber. A four (4) chamber tablet chlorinator is used to introduce chlorine to the effluent. A concrete contact basin provides detention time. The effluent from the chlorine basin overflows a v-notch weir prior to entering the creek. The effluent meter measures the depth of flow over the weir by way of a bubblier system and records the flow rate on a strip chart. The effluent enters the creek by way of a 6" ductile iron pipe. The outfall distance is approximately 20 feet and is above ground. The treatment appears to be in good condition. The effluent flow meter is approximately 3 years old. The motors on the blowers have been rebuilt several times. The Owner reports that he has a spare motor and blower on hand. It is reported that the treatment plant has been in compliance for approximately the past three (3) years. Operational problems plagued the facility prior to that time. A new operator was hired and is reportedly managing the plant in an acceptable fashion.

DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES The only publicly owned wastewater collection system in the area belongs to the Town of Knightdale. The nearest existing outfall main is located approximately 1.9 miles to the north of the mobile home park and crosses Hodge Road on the north side of the railroad tracks at Princeton Manor. This alternative calls for abandoning the existing wastewater treatment plant and pumping the daily wastewater flow to the Town of Knightdale for treatment. A pump station and force main would be needed to pump the wastewater flow to the existing collection system. Figure No. 3 shows the location and route of the needed facilities. Preliminary calculations and cost estimates for this alternative have been prepared and can be found in Appendix A. The pump station would be located at or near the site of the existing treatment pant. This is the lowest area of the park and the termination point of the 4g1i existing collection system. The pump station would consist of a wet well and two (2) sewage pumps. A 4-inch force main would be needed to transport the wastewater. The ma+ force main would be approximately 10,000 feet in length and would be installed northward along Hodge Road. High head losses would prevent the use of a 3-inch force main even at 50 gpm, which is 2.5 times the average daily flow of 20 gpm. Ise Each pump would have a capacity of 80 gallons per minute (gpm), which is the minimum flow to produce the minimum velocity of 2.0 feet per second (ft/s) in a 4- inch force main. The pumping capacity of 80 gpm is 4 times the average daily design flow of 20 gpm. Construction obstacles with this alternative would include boring and jacking the force main under the new Highway 64 By-pass and the railroad. Also, the Town of Knightdale would need to obtain easements from the NC Department of `` Transportation for the force main since private citizens can not do so. There should not be a problem connecting to the Town of Knightdale's collection system since their flow is being sent to the City of Raleigh for treatment. The Owner has in the past spoken to the City of Raleigh concerning this issue and he reported that they would accept the wastewater flow.

Operation and Maintenance Cost The annual operating and maintenance cost have been estimated at the design flow rate of 28,800 gpd. Presented in Table No. 5 is a summary of the probable operating costs for pumping the wastewater to the Town of Knightdale. The power cost was based on $0.08 per kilowatt hour and a break horsepower of 7. The maintenance cost of the pump station includes 2 hours per day at $25 per hour to inspect, clean and maintain the pump station. The vehicle cost consists of $300 per month while the emergency maintenance consists of $750 per month. A contingency cost was also added to the estimate and was estimated to be 10% of the total maintenance cost minus the sewer usage fee. The sewer usage charge was based on the Town of Knightdale's existing outside, residential rate of $5.00 base fee plus $4.18 per thousand gallons. The salvage value of this alternative after 20 years is estimated to be $488,200. There would be value in the pump wet well, pipe lines, and valves.

FUTURE AREA -WIDE SEWER SYSTEM It is highly probable that the Town of Knightdale or the City of Raleigh would extend sewer services to the area of the Mobile Home Park in the near future. The area appears to be poised for dramatic growth with the soon -to -open Highway 64 By-pass that is located approximately 1 mile north of the mobile home park. There will be an exit at Highway 64 By -Pass and Hodge Road, which will contribute to the growth. Knightdale Estates Mobile Home Park —'Wastewater Disposal Alternative Analysis" Page-10 Earth Tech of North Carolina, Inc., Project No. 85748 May 2005 Growth is already being experienced on Hodge Road near the 64 By-pass. Two new subdivisions are being constructed on both sides of the railroad tracks, Princeton Manor and Mingo Estates. Large tracks of land are for sale between those subdivisions and the Highway 64 By-pass. An area that is destine for major growth is located approximately 1,800 feet from the entrance to the Mobile Home Park and is at the intersection of Poole Road and Hodge Road. Large tracks of open land lay at the intersection of these two major through fares. There is the Cross Creek Subdivision and the Raleigh Racket Ball Club located east of that intersection along Poole Road. Conservation with the Knightdale Public Works Department on March 14, 2005 indicated that there are no immediate plans to extend sewer services south along Hodge Road. However, as growth proceeds southward, sewer services would most likely be made available. C. CONNECTION TO PRIVATELY OWNED TREATMENT WORKS There are two known privately owned wastewater treatment plants in the area, Cross Creek Subdivision and the River View Mobile Home Park. The other developments in the area are believed to be served by septic tanks. It is believed that there is no available capacity in either of these treatment plants. Ala D. DRIP IRRIGATION LOW PRESSURE DISPOSAL These disposal alternatives do not appear feasible due to the volume of wastewater and unavailability of land. The Owner has stated that he does not own additional land at the Mobile Home Park to install an alternative disposal system such as these. A letter to this effect can be found in Appendix B. The most prominent contiguous soil type in the area of the mobile home park is Appling association, according to "Soil Survey, Wake County, North Carolina" published by United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, 1970. According to that publication, the Appling association is gently sloping to moderately '°� steep, deep, well drained soils that have a subsoil of firm clay loam to clay. They were derived mostly from granite, gneiss and schist. 0.4 The size of the septic tank and pump tank would be greater than 34,000 gallons, each. These tank sizes are not common, thus it would take a series of septic and pump tanks to provide the total volume required. iso According to Wake County's Regulations Governing Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems, the soil appears to fall into Soil Group III, which has a long-term Knightdale Estates Mobile Home Park —'Wastewater Disposal Altemative Analysis" Page-11 Earth Tech of North Carolina, Inc., Project No. 85748 May 2005 owl aia goo acceptance rate of 0.2 to0.1 gallons per day per square foot. At the design flow of 28,800 gallons per day and an application rate of 0.2 gpd/sqft, it would take approximately 144,000 feet of low pressure trenches to dispose of the wastewater. This does not seem to be manageable. This alternative does not appear feasible and will not be considered further due to the large size of the tanks and long laterals. Also, grease would be a problem to the proper operation of the system. E. SPRAY IRRIGATION DISPOSAL 1. General There does not appear to be land readily available on which to install a a spray irrigation system. The Owner has stated this in a letter that can be found in Appendix B. Also, he has stated that he does not own any available land for such a system. Calculations and cost estimates have been prepared in as much to determine the quantity of land that would be needed for a spray irrigation system and to help determine if this alternative would be feasible. There are large quantities of land near the mobile home park that are both open and have residential development. Most of the open land appears to be prime development land, which the Owner states is not for sale at this time. Preliminary calculations and cost estimates for this alternative have been prepared and can be found in Appendix B. 2. Descriptions This plan would consist of providing minimal treatment to the wastewater and then applying the water to a tract(s) of land by spray irrigation. This method utilizes plants, the soil surface and the soil matrix to remove many wastewater +o► pollutants. Crops or grasses can be grown on the land, thus recycling nutrients and reusing the water. Basically, the treatment process will include a facultative lagoon, disinfection, a pump station, a force main, a holding pond, and land for spray irrigation. ;am The most prominent contiguous soil type in the area of the mobile home park is Appling association, according to "Soil Survey, Wake County, North Carolina" published by United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, 1970. According to that publication, the Appling association is gently sloping to moderately steep, deep, well drained soils that have a subsoil of firm clay loam to clay. They were derived mostly from granite, gneiss and schist. Knightdale Estates Mobile Home Park — 'Wastewater Disposal Altemative Analysis" Page-12 fern Earth Tech of North Carolina, Inc., Project No. 85748 May 2005 A�q Ouni 111111 APR Afit AIM PIO ONA For preliminary design calculations, a hydraulic loading rate of 0.75 inch per acre per week was assumed. A soil analyses would be required to determine the actual loading rate in the event available land was found. For the sake of this report, it is assumed land for the facultative lagoon, holding pond and spray fields could be located within a half of a mile of the existing treatment plant. A pump station and force main would be needed to pump the wastewater to the treatment lagoon. The wastewater would be treated in a facultative lagoon in order to reduce the BOD to approximately 40 ppm. Wastewater having higher concentrations of BOD can not be land applied without odor and vector problems. Approximately 0.44 acres of surface area would be needed for the facultative lagoon. Additional land around the lagoon would be needed for buffer requirements. The lagoon would have a volume of 0.86 million gallons, have a BOD loading rate of 88 pounds per acre per day, and have a total depth of 10 feet. Of this depth, 6.0 feet is needed for treatment, 1.5 feet for sludge storage and 2.5 feet for freeboard. The treated wastewater would be disinfected with chlorine prior being pumped to the holding pond. The chlorine contact basin would provide for a detention time of 30 minutes at peak pumping rates and would be constructed of concrete. Two basins are recommended with each sized for half of the flow rate to allow for cleaning and maintenance. Each basin would have a volume of approximately 3,600 gallons. The effluent would be metered prior to entering the holding pond. The facultative lagoon and holding pond could be constructed together with common wall construction at the spray field site. Common wall construction would be a cost saving measure. The total required volume of the holding pond would be 0.86 million gallons in order to provide 30 days of storage. The lagoon would have a surface area of 0.5 acres and have a total depth of 10 feet. Of this depth, 6.0 feet is needed for storage, 1.5 feet for the prevention of weed depth at low water levels and 2.5 feet for freeboard. Approximately 11 acres of spray fields would be needed on which to spray the treated effluent. The acreage is based on a hydraulic loading rate of 0.75 inches per week, a nitrogen concentration of 40 mg/1 in the effluent, a crop uptake of 250 pounds of nitrogen per acre per year. The cover crops would be coastal Bermuda grass being over seeded with winter rye. A pump station would be needed to power the spray irrigation equipment. A flow meter and recorder would be needed to monitor the quantity of water that is land applied. The pump station would contain two (2) pumps with each having a capacity of 240 gpm. This flow rate would allow the average daily flow rate to be sprayed in a 2 hour period. Knightdale Estates Mobile Home Park — 'Wastewater Disposal Altemative Analysis" Page-13 Earth Tech of North Carolina, Inc., Project No. 85748 May 2005 Farming equipment and shelters would be needed to cut and bale the grass and to re -plug and reseed as needed A large quantity of additional land may be needed to provide buffer zones around the spray fields. Approximately 11 additional acres of land would be needed to provide the required 150 foot buffer zone between the property line and the spray fields. This brings the total land required to 22 acres for the spray field. An exceptionally large track of land (52 acres, spray field included) would be needed to provide the 400 foot buffer zone between the spray fields and a habitable residence or place of public assembly. A large quantity of additional land may be needed to provide buffer zones around the facultative lagoon and holding pond. The two could be constructed together on a little more than 1 acre of land. However, a total of 23 acres would be needed to provide the 400 foot buffer zone around the lagoon and holding pond. With the required buffers, the spray fields and lagoons could possibly require more than 75 acres of land. Land in this growth area is estimated to cost more than $75,000 and acre.

Opinion of Operation and Maintenance Costs The annual operating and maintenance cost have been estimated at the design flow rate of 28,800 gpd. Presented in Table No. 7 is a summary of the probable operating costs for land applying the wastewater. The power cost was based on $0.08 per kilowatt hour and a break horsepower of 5 for the transfer pump station and 22 for the spray field pump station. Knightdale Estates Mobile Home Park —"Wastewater Disposal Alternative Analysis" Page-15 Earth Tech of North Carolina, Inc., Project No. 85748 May 2005 The maintenance cost of the pump station includes 2 hours per day at $25 per hour to inspect, clean and maintain the pump station. The vehicle cost consists of $300 per month while the farm equipment was estimated to be $600 per month. The emergency maintenance cost was estimated to be $1,500 per month. A contingency cost was also added to the estimate and was estimated to be 10% of the total maintenance cost. Spray field operation cost included 16 hours per week of which 2 hours per day was designated for spraying and the balance was used for maintenance and mowing. The chlorine cost was based on $0.20 per pound and a feed rate of 8 ppm. The salvage value of this alternative after 20 years is estimated to be $2,525,200. This includes 100% of the land cost which was estimated to be $1,838,000. There would be value in the pump wet wells, pipe lines, valves, lagoon and holding pond.

WASTEWATER REUSE This alternative does not appear feasible since there are no users of re -use water in the area. There are no golf courses in the area that could possibly use the water for irrigation. Also, there are no areas of decorative plantings such as can be found in highway medians that could use the water for irrigation. G. SURFACE WATER DISCHARGE 1. Description This alternative calls for the continued operation of the 25,000 gpd wastewater treatment plant and the continued discharge to the unnamed tributary of the Neuse River. Preliminary cost estimates for this alternative have been prepared and can be found in Appendix C. The continued operation of the treatment plant would require the installation of de -chlorination facilities. The current NPDES Permit has a total residual chlorine limit of 0.028 ppm that becomes effective no later than February 1, 2006. It is proposed to replace the tablet chlorinator with ultraviolet light disinfection system in order to meet the new chlorine limit. The ultraviolet light system would be installed in a concrete channel. int Post aeration would continue to be provided by a diffuser in the effluent of the ultraviolet disinfection channel. Air would continue to be provided by the existing IAA blowers. 2.

Opinion of Probable Operation and Maintenance Cost The annual operating and maintenance cost have been estimated at the design flow rate of 28,800 gpd. Presented in Table No. 9 is a summary of the probable operating costs for continuing operating the existing wastewater. The power cost was based on $0.08 per kilowatt hour and a break horsepower of 5 for the blower and 0.65 Kw for the ultraviolet disinfection. Both the blower and UV were considered to operate 24 hours per day. Operation of the wastewater treatment plant was estimated at 16 hours per week at $25 per hour. Maintenance cost for the plant was estimated to be $600 per month. The emergency maintenance cost was estimated to be $1,500 per month. A contingency cost was also added to the estimate and was estimated to be 10% of the total operation and maintenance costs. Knightdale Estates Mobile Home Park — "Wastewater Disposal Alternative Analysis" Page-18 Earth Tech of North Carolina, Inc., Project No. 85748 May 2005 There would appear to be no salvage value to the treatment after an additional 20 years, since the plant is already over 30 years old. In 20 years the ultraviolet disinfection equipment would have served out it life and would need replacing.

DISPOSAL COMBINATIONS There does not appear to be any combinations of treatment alternatives that would be feasible. One possible alternative would continue to operate the treatment plant and spray the effluent on crop land. This alternative is not feasible due to the high cost of land and spray irrigation facilities. III. PRESENT WORTH ANALYSIS The feasible alternatives have been economically using the Present Worth Analysis. A summary of the related costs for each alternative that are needed for the analysis are presented in Table No. 10. The results of the analysis are presented below in Table No. 11. The detailed Present Worth calculations for each alternative can be found in Appendix D. The current EPA Present Worth Discount Factor for the year 2004 of 5.625% was used along with a period of 20 years. Salvage values for pipe lines and concrete structures were calculated based on straight line depreciation and a usable life span of 40 years. There was no salvage value Knightdale Estates Mobile Home Park — 'Wastewater Disposal Alternative Analysis" Page-19 Earth Tech of North Carolina, Inc., Project No. 85748 May 2005 attached to the equipment since the life span for equipment is approximately 15 to 20 years. The salvage value of land was considered to be the full value of original purchase price.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The continued operation of the existing wastewater treatment plant appears to be the most economical method of disposal of the wastewater from the Knightdale Estates Mobile Home Park. Pumping the wastewater to the Town of Knightdale is a feasible alternative, but it is more expensive than operating the plant. At the present time, there are no sewer charges to the mobile home residents. With this alternative, there would be sewer charges that would include the cost of installing the transportation facilities plus the sewer user fee charged by the Town of Knightdale. Land application appears to be the most costly alternative of all. The land application facilities and buffer zones require large quantities of land that is not readily available. Should land become available, the cost would be prohibitive since the facilities would be in a prime growth area where land is expensive. It is highly probable that the Town of Knightdale or the City of Raleigh would extend sewer services to the area of the Mobile Home Park in the near future. The area appears to be poised for dramatic growth with the soon -to -open Highway 64 By-pass that is located approximately 1 mile north of the mobile home park. At that time, it may be more economical for the Mobile Home Park to abandon the treatment plant and connect to the sewer system. It is recommended to continue the operation of the existing treatment plant with the continued discharge to the unnamed tributary of the Neuse River. It is also rim recommended to install ultraviolet light disinfection facilities as soon as possible in order to meet the February 1, 2006 deadline. Design should begin soon as there is most likely a long lead time for obtaining the UV equipment. A further recommendation is to revisit the issue of pumping to the Town of Knightdale in the near future as sewer services advance southward toward the Mobile Home Park.

The Division has considered the concerns raised, and our responses are explained below: Michael F. Easley Governor William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality September 27, 2004 Subject: Comments regarding issuance of NPDES Permit NC0040266 Knightdale Estates MHP WWTP Wake County 1) Monitoring Requirements. The final NPDES permit for your facility has become effective August 1, 2004. The permit cover letter stated that the Division can consider reducing monitoring requirements when the plant has met its permit limits for at least one year. Since the new monitoring requirements have been in effect less than a year, the Division is unable to grant your request. Increased monitoring requirements were based on the Hearing Officer Recommendations as a result of public hearings. The Division has a legal obligation to implement these recommendations. 2) Wastewater Management Plan. Materials provided by you are sufficient to meet the Communication Plan requirement of your new permit. However, you have not provided the Alternative Analysis that is required by the Permit. You must still provide us with calculations that would support your conclusions regarding wastewater disposal alternatives (see enclosed guidance). Each alternative listed in the permit should be carefully evaluated. Connection to a municipal sewer line might be economically feasible in a long term due to elimination of many expenses, including operation and maintenance of WWTP, instream monitoring, etc. Wastewater Management Plan requirements are also implemented due to the Hearing Officer Recommendations. If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact me at telephone number (919) 733-5083, extension 594.

Division of Water Quality / NPDES Unit 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Internet: h2o.enr.state.nc.us Sincerely, d./... ei Chernikov, Ph.D. Phone: (919) 733-5083 fax: (919) 733-0719 DENR Customer Service Center 1 800 623-7748 A Guidance Document to Evaluate Wastewater Disposal Alternatives Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) to Evaluate Waste Disposal Alternatives Prior to issuing an NPDES discharge permit, North Carolina's Division of Water Quality requires all NPDES permit applicants to evaluate and establish their discharge alternatives by performing a comprehensive Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA). It is the Division's mandate that an applicant document, from all reasonable cost-effective options, the most environmentally sound waste disposal alternative. The Division of Water Quality (the Division) implemented the federally -delegated NPDES permit program in response to the federal Clean Water Act of 1972, conscious of the specific goal "...to eliminate all surface water point -source discharges by...1985." While the Division has yet to achieve this goal, it continues to strive toward it by requiring individuals or organizations to complete an EAA when applying for a new permit or expanding an existing NPDES permit under Title 15A NCAC 2H.0105 (c) (2). The purpose of this guidance document is to assist the regulated community in its efforts to evaluate wastewater disposal alternatives. Environmental and economic design -option issues are inter -dependent and should not be treated as mutually exclusive. While past applicants have inappropriately segregated environmental feasibility from economic feasibility when evaluating disposal options, the Division stresses that the applicant should address both when evaluating the alternatives discussed below. The following outlines should be used to prepare EAAs. Please note that the Division will refuse and return an EAA as incomplete if it lacks any of the following basic components: I. GENERAL INFORMATION A. Provide Basic Identification of the Project • Facility name • County • Facility address • Facility telephone number • EAA preparer's name • EAA preparer's mailing address and telephone number B. Provide a detailed description of the project requiring wastewater disposal. All wastewater flows should be calculated according to 15A NCAC 2H .0219. Demonstrate and justify the need for flow volumes, to include any flow reductions realized through flow -restricting devices. For all alternatives, the use of flow -restricting or low -flow devices should be investigated. Report findings should include flow reduction projections. C. If existing facilities will be used as part of an expansion, discuss those existing units including present and past performance, unit capacities, and inadequacies of each. Include a schematic with component sizes. Page I of 6 Engineering Alternatives Analysis; June 9, 2000 A Guidance Document to Evaluate Wastewater Disposal Alternatives D. Indicate if the project will be constructed in phases. Provide the estimated wasteflow per phase. Indicate current phase status for existing facilities and provide a schedule for constructing each additional phase. II. EVALUATE DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES The Engineering Alternatives Analysis should evaluate any and all disposal alternatives to include, at a minimum, the following: • Connecting to a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) • Connecting to a privately owned treatment works • Feasibility of individual subsurface systems • Feasibility of community subsurface systems • Drip irrigating - both surface & subsurface ■ Spray irrigating • Reuse • Surface water discharge through the NPDES program ■ Any possible combination of the above options A. Connecting to a Sewer -Collection System (served by a municipality or other entity holding a valid NPDES or Non -Discharge Permit). 1. Existing Sewerage System: Indicate the distance to any existing sewer line within a five - mile radius (extension of radius should be considered if cost effective for project size). *NOTE: All connection options should include an evaluation of both a gravity line as well as a force main with pump station(s). (a) Provide a description of sewer facilities and resources necessary to connect to the receiving wastewater treatment plant. (b) Provide a preliminary indication of flow acceptance from local municipal or private WWTPs under consideration. If a municipal or private WWTP cannot accept the wastewater, please explain. (c) Attach a topographic map or a scaled site drawing showing the physical route of this alternative. (d) Perform a Present -Value -of -Costs Analysis for this alternative as outlined in Appendix A of this document. Investigate cost -sharing options with other potential users. 2. Planned Sewerage System: Determine if an area -wide sewerage system, within a five mile radius, is projected to be available within the next five years that could receive waste from your project. Determine, from the appropriate authority, an availability date and flow acceptance projection. Identify your public utility or private management -group contact person that assisted you with this determination. B. Land -Based Disposal (Installing nitrification systems, low pressure pipe systems, drip irrigation, mound systems, and spray irrigation systems). Page 2 of 6 Engineering Alternatives Analysis; June 9, 2000 A Guidance Document to Evaluate Wastewater Disposal Alternatives 1. Does your organization currently own land that is available and suitable for a subsurface system? (a) Provide a description of the necessary facilities and resources including a site plan indicating the proposed layout. (b) Provide soil analyses (see Appendix B of this document). (c) Provide calculations used to determine the proposed land disposal capacity. Base these calculations on design and loading -rate characteristics according to appropriate regulations. (d) If there is insufficient usable land at the site, address why. Describe how you would modify the plans (reducing the number of units or reduce the design flow, etc.) to allow for inadequate disposal caused by unusable land. (e) Perform a Present -Value -of -Costs Analysis for this alternative as outlined in Appendix A of this document. 2. If there is insufficient land at the proposed site, determine if any additional land could be acquired. Document land availability in your area. If adjacent land could be acquired, evaluate according to item B (1). If adjacent land is unavailable, provide documentation from the owner stating such. 3. NOTE: Subsurface disposal systems require a 100% reserve area. Surface disposal systems must be capable of treating waste to secondary limits including disinfection. C. Wastewater Reuse Evaluate reusing all or a portion of the wastewater generated on -site. D. Surface Water Discharge (discharge to a flowing stream - defined as having positive 7Q10 and 30Q2 flows). 1. The U.S Geological Survey (USGS) should be consulted to obtain receiving -stream flow information. This information should be submitted in conjunction with treatment plant design. For flow information contact Mr. Curtis Weaver at (919) 571-4043. 2. Proposed treatment systems should compare discharge both with and without tertiary filtration, assuming a weekly sampling regime. 3. Describe the proposed discharge facilities. Include a schematic diagram of the major components and a site plan with outfall line(s). All discharge systems must meet design criteria outlined in the Division's Authorization to Construct process. 4. Document the availability of required land and/or easement agreements. 5. Perform a Present -Value -of -Costs Analysis for this alternative as outlined in Appendix A of this document. E. Disposal Combinations The EAA should evaluate the feasibility of combining several disposal alternatives in lieu of a surface water discharge. Page 3 of 6 Engineering Alternatives Analysis; June 9, 2000 A Guidance Document to Evaluate Wastewater Disposal Alternatives Appendix A Present -Value -of -Costs Analysis The Present -Value -of -Costs Analysis (PVCA) is meant to evaluate all costs associated with a particular disposal alternative over the life of the project. Prior to performing a PVCA for any of the alternatives, all costs must be identified. The PVCA should include all monetary costs associated with construction, startup and operation of a facility. Costs should include, but not be limited to, the following: Capital Costs • Land acquisition costs • Equipment costs • Labor costs • Installation costs • Design costs Recurring Costs • Operation and maintenance costs (with replacement costs) • Laboratory costs assuming a weekly monitoring regime for discharge systems and a monthly regime for non -discharge systems • Operator and support staff costs • Residual disposal costs • Connection and subsequent user fees • Permit and compliance fees • • Utility costs (power, water, etc.) Opportunity Costs NOTE: The applicant shall reference all cost information. If vender quotes have been received for treatment units or other components, the applicant shall include these in the document. Page4of6 Engineering Alternatives Analysis; June 9, 2000 A Guidance Document to Evaluate Wastewater Disposal Alternatives Calculating Present Value of Costs Costs incurred in different time periods must be converted to a common time before they can be accurately combined or compared. Performing this calculation is known as "computing the present value," or "discounting" the costs. Present value is also sometimes called "present discounted value" or "present worth." The applicant shall compute the present value of all cost estimates prepared under this evaluation guidance using the following standard formula: Where: n PV = Co + E= 1=1 (1 + r) PV = Present value of costs. Co = Costs incurred in the present year. Ct = Costs incurred in time t. t = Time period after the present year (The present year is t = 0) n = Ending year of the life of the facility. r = Discount rate. For these calculations, the applicant shall use an interest rate quoted by the lending institution. The loan interest rate quote shall be provided with this analysis. However, if costs are the same in every time period from year one through year n (i.e., Ct = C, a constant for t= 1,2,..., n), then the formula reduces to: PV =Co+C 1+r) -1 r(1 + r) In this case, the present value may also be retrieved from a table containing the present value of annuities (an annuity is a constant amount payable in each year for a certain number of years). Such tables are available from financial institutions. Page 5 of 6 Engineering Alternatives Analysis; June 9, 2000 A Guidance Document to Evaluate Wastewater Disposal Alternatives Appendix B Soil Analysis Report Requirements For all new facilities The EAA must provide a detailed soil analysis report including, but not be limited to, the following: • A copy of field notes and boring log information • A soils site map overlain on a topographic map (county soil maps may be used to delineate boring locations only, not for soil characterization). • Soil characterization in terms of texture, structure, permeability, wetness and mineralogy • Soil characterization to a depth of 48" or to a restrictive horizon • Soil loading rate recommendations and land area requirements The report should address specifically all factors limiting surface or subsurface disposal as an applicable alternative. For existing Facilities Proposing an Expansion The EAA must include a detailed soil analysis report including, but not be limited to, the following: • County soil maps used to identify on -site soils. • Best -case loading rates using these soil characterizations. • Present -Value -Cost -Analysis (see Appendix A). If the present value for a non -discharge alternative is less than cost of a discharge system, provide a more detailed soil analysis report including the following: • A copy of field notes and boring log information • A soils site map overlain on a topographic map (county soil maps to be used for delineating boring locations only, not for soil characterization). • Soil characterization in terms of texture, structure, permeability, wetness and mineralogy • Soil characterization to a depth of 48" or to a restrictive horizon • Soil -loading rate recommendations and land area requirements Page 6 of 6 Engineering Alternatives Analysis; June 9. 2000 C h (1<o v cC 967 4u,a tAmby Knightdale Estates MHP Limited Partnership -a.m... `VC 808 Eagle Rock Road Wendell, NC 27591 919-366-2700 July 20, 2004 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Mr. David Goodrich NC DENR, DWQ 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 DENR - WATER UALIIY POINT SOURCE gR NCH ' •LC.1l l .t,,,� . Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0040266 Knightdale Estates MHP WWTP Wake County — Letter of July 9, 2004 Dear Mr. Goodrich: In response to my telephone conversation with a person from your office today, and to Director Klimek's letter of July 9, we are providing the following information: • Monitoring Requirements. As we have diligently and frequently advised in the past, the poor compliance record for two years prior to April 2002 was because of unsatisfactory operations by WWTP operators. For the 27 months since April 2002 when we hired our present operator, GC Environmental, we have had 100% compliance. Copies of reports previously furnished are enclosed. Therefore, we respectfully request that you cancel the more frequent monitoring requirements in the new permit as we have already had more than the one year of meeting the permit limits. • Wastewater Management Plan. We are enclosing a copy of our Rules and Regulations that is already given to every new tenant and other notices frequently passed out to tenants and displayed in our public information box from time to time. These notices all prohibit grease from being poured down drains. • We have evaluated the feasibility of other wastewater disposal alternatives and there is simply not enough income for the thousands and thousands of dollars required to tie in to Raleigh or Knightdale sewer lines or install a new wastewater treatment plant nor do we have right-of-way to nearest sewer line, over a mile away. There is also no feasibility for land application or spray application because of the lack of available land. • Outfall Signage. We will provide a sign for the stream as noted in the new permit. Because the new permit becomes effective August 1, please forward a new revised permit or some type of approval or addendum prior to that date. Your prompt cooperation is appreciated.
