With this application we are requesting to expand the current permit flow allocation from 0.0084 MGD to 0.0131 MGD. The camp is going to replace the existing recirculating sand filter with an E-Z Treat recirculating media system. During the peak summer months, the camp is experiencing flows at and occasionally exceeding their permitted limit. We believe part of this is due to rainwater entering the system through the open sand filter. The proposed E-Z Treat system will prevent rainwater from entering the system with the covered pods. The 0.0131 MGD is requested so that the existing septic tank can still be used, and to cover the design flow. Based off the regulations the design flow is approximately 12,360 gallons per day during the peak summer camp months. We feel that this submittal is sufficient for you to complete your review.

The original system, designed in 1971, consisted of a septic tank, a dosing tank with two alternationg siphons, two sand filter beds and chlorination facility. The septic tank has a capacity of 13,128 galons and the dosing tank a capacity of 2,918 gallons. The system was modified in 1996 and 1997. The sand filter was revised, new discharge and collection lines were installed along with new layers of sand and gravel, and the pvc piping was placed in the center of a 10-inch layer of gravel. The effluent from the filter bed is collected through a gravity system and it flows to the recirculation and discharge wet well. It is then pumped again to the sand filter, where it is sprayed on top of the filter bed where it flows through the sand filter. It discharges once more to the wet well, where the discharge pump sends it through the UV disinfection system, and then on to Carroll Creek by gravity. 2 of 3 Form-D 1/06 NPDES APPLICATION - FORM D For privately owned treatment systems treating 100% domestic wastewaters <1.0 MGD A proposed upgrade to the system is expected upon a thorough analysis and the result of the flow allocation request. We are requesting that the flow be increased to 13,100 gallons per day for growth since the plant is being upgraded. This is due to the size of the existing septic tank, which is the peak flow for the camp would be calculated as follows. 200 campers * 60 gallons per camper = 12,000 3 bedroom residence * 120 gallons per bedroom = 360 Additional Flow for Future Expansion = 740 Total flow = 12,000 + 360 + 740 = 13,100 gallons per day. 10.

It is a camp operated by North Carolina State University through the Department of 4-H Youth Development. The camp currently has a NPDES permit (NC0078271) for 8,400 gallons per day. The current wastewater treatment system consists of a pump tank, septic tank, recirculating sand filter, ultraviolet disinfection unit, and a gravity discharge to Carroll Creek. As the existing sand filter ages, it becomes less effective at treating the wastewater. To avoid permit compliance problems, the camp wants to replace their current filter with an E-Z Treat Treatment Center by E-Z Set Company. The E-Z Treat Treatment Center is a recirculating media filter that uses polystyrene beads as the biological growth media. The new system needs to be designed to meet the camps current needs as well as any possible future expansions We are requesting that the Division of Water Quality assist us in determining the possibility of increasing the allowable discharge per day into Carroll Creek. Since the future expansion needs are not known at this time, the camp would like to request a flow allowance of 13,100 gallons per day. This is due to the size of the existing septic tank which is 13,100 gallons. The camp wants to retain the existing tank in their new system.

MacConnell & Associates, P.C. 909 Aviation Parkway, Suite 1400 P.O. Box 129 Morrisville, North Carolina 27560 Population Projections and Flows The camp's population varies widely throughout the year with the different camp schedules. Summer camp runs for eight weeks throughout the summer months each year, with approximately 200 campers each week staying at the camp, for a total of 1,600 per year. During the summer they also run day camps which total approximately 240 campers per year. Throughout the year, user groups are held which totaled 5,741 people in 2005. The camp director and his family (wife, and two kids) live at the camp full time and are also hooked into the camps wastewater system. The population figures above are representative of what the camp experiences every year. The camp wants to install a wastewater treatment and disposal system that will meet their current needs as well as any future expansion. Currently the camp experiences flows close to and occasionally exceeding the permitted flow of 0.0084 MGD. On July 5, 2006 the discharge flow was 12,700 gallons, but July 10 was only 6,600 gallons. The 12,700 gallons may have been due to high rainfall with the open sand filter. Once the new treatment system is in place, rainwater will not be able to enter the system. To help reduce water consumption in the future, the camp is planning to replace old fixtures (sinks, toilets, etc.) with Iow flow models when they are replaced. Old fixtures are only replaced when they are broken, so this process will be lengthy but eventually switch the camp over to low flow fixtures. In the future when the camp replaces old washing machines with new ones, water conservation will be an added benefit due to the design of the newer machines. Technologically Feasible Options Three technologically feasible options exist for wastewater treatment and disposal at Betsy -Jeff Penn 4-H Educational Center. Option 1 would be to connect to a municipal sewer system. The camp is claimed by the Town of Wentworth and their nearest sewer line is approximately 6 miles away. The City of Reidsville has a pump station approximately 3 miles away from the camp, but would only run lines to the camp if they could annex them. Annexation is very unlikely, because the Town of Wentworth incorporated a large buffer zone to protect it from Reidsville expansion. This option would tum into a political fight that is not practical because the camp is not a tax revenue producing business. Option 2 would be on -site wastewater treatment and disposal. We believe this to be a bad idea, because the camp previously had a septic system that failed. That original failed system is what led to this discharge permit. The third option is to expand the current NPDES permit, to meet the camp's future needs. Economic Feasibility of Options Option 1 is not economically feasible, nor practical. Running 6 miles of sewer line is out of the 5 mile radius requested by the analysis. A non-profit camp with state funding cannot afford, nor should it be expected to run 6 miles of sewer. If the camp is not allowed to expand its current discharge flow, it will not seek other options for wastewater disposal. A copy of the 7Q10 flow report is included with the analysis.

No USGS discharge records for your point of interest or other locations on Carroll Creek are known to exist. Low -flow characteristics for ungaged locations are estimated by considering the range of low -flow yields (expressed as flow per square mile drainage area, or cfsm) at nearby sites where sufficient discharge records are available for low -flow analyses. In the 1990 estimate, the 7Q10 low -flow yield was determined to be 0.091cfsm, based on two USGS partial -record sites on Wolf Island Creek where Carroll Creek drains. Applying the drainage area of 3.8 sqmi, the resulting 7Q10 discharge is estimated at about 0.35 cfs. It needs to be noted the 7Q10 low -flow estimate being provided does not account for the presence of Lake Hazel upstream of the site. No information is known about the hydraulic characteristics for this dam and its particular effects, if any, on downstream flows in Carroll Creek. The most recent (1996) low -flow characteristics published for streams in Rockingham County is included in a low -flow report for the Roanoke River basin in North Carolina: Weaver, J.C., 1996, Low -flow characteristics and profiles for selected streams in the Roanoke River basin, North Carofrna: U.S. Geological Survey Water -Resources Investigations Report 96 — 4154, 56 p. (based on data through 1994) An online version of this report can be accessed at http://pubs.er.usgs_gov/pubsiwri/wri964154 Note the files are provided in the ".DJVU" format and requires a particular Lizardtech plug-in, also available through a link displayed on the page. Or you can click an adjacent Zink that will allow you to view the report as a group of images without the need for a plug-in. Based on table 7 in the above low -flow report, the 7Q10 yield ranges from 0.05 to 0.08 cfsm about at several nearby USGS partial -record sites on Jacobs Creek and Rockhouse Creek (west of Carroll Creek) and Wolf island Creek (east). The higher value is based on the nearby site at Wolf island Creek at Reidsville (station id 02074282, drainage area 3.71 sqmi). Both these values are lower than the yield of 0.091 cfsm used in the 1990 estimate, which obviously raises the question as to what low -flow yield is appropriate for Carroll Creek. Because there are no discharge records on Carroll Creek, it appears the most appropriate means of estimating the 7Q10 discharge would be to use the nearby range 0.05 to 0.08 cfsm. Doing so suggests that some variation appears to exist in flow characteristics within this area. Further, because Carroll Creek drains into Wolf Island Creek (where the 7Q10 yield is 0.08 cfsm), leaning towards use of the higher value in the yield range could be justified. And use of this yield value would be close to that used in the 1990 estimate. Hope this information is helpful Please respond to let me know you have received this information. Thank you.

Of the 20 listed facilities, WSRO indicates that 2 have connected, and 2 should have a Special Condition placed in the draft permit renewal requesting a Wastewater Management Plan to address compliance problems (see below): * NC0021075 Town of Madison- no longrer discharging, connected to Mayodan * NC0028011 Town of Stonevills- no longer discharging, connected to Mayodan * NC0059251 Quail Acres MHP- Require Wastewater Management Plan * NC0040011 Yanceyville WWTP- Require Wastewater Management Plan Mike T prepared a generic Wastewater Management Plan Special Condition that can be tailored to the problems at the specific facility, and permit writers should discuss with him. If you think some other facilities on the list might need a Special Condition, please discuss with Tedder. I'll put copies of the WSRO comments in the NPDES files, to alert the assigned permit writers of the additional requirements. For the remaining Roanoke Basin, I've already received feedback from WARO, and I'm still awaiting RRO feedback (due to us by Oct. 6). Tom Belnick, Environmental Specialist N.C.

The Roanoke permits begin to expire 1/31/2007, which means that NPDES staff will start sending drafts to public notice in December06. NPDES staff attempts to incorporate compliance into permit renewals by reviewing the compliance record to identify problem facilities, and discussing with the applicable Regions whether the permit renewal should contain any special conditions to address continuing compliance problems. Similar to the Cape Fear renewals, I reviewed a BIMS download of enforcement cases during 2001-05, and used a subjective compliance threshold of 3+ enforcement cases over the last 2 years, or 5+ enforcement cases over the past 5 years, to identify potential problem facilities. This threshold resulted in 30 facilities, spread between WSRO (n=20), RRO (n=7), and WARO (n=3). These facilities are listed by Region in the attached spreadsheet. The next step is for NPDES/Region to review the facility lists and determine what permitting conditions, if any, would be appropriate for each listed facility. For some facilities, the cases may be older and the problem may already be resolved, or is currently being addressed through SOC, etc, in which case no permitting action is necessary. The most common permiting action for a problem facility has been to add a Special Condition requiring preparation of a Wastewater Management Plan that focusus on specific problems and how the facility plans to resolve them. I'll leave it to the Regions to determine how they want to proceed. Regions can either review their listings and enter comments on the spreadsheet and send back, or NPDES can call/visit the Region to discuss each listed facility. Both ways have worked in the past. Either way, I'd like to complete this task BY SEPTEMBER 30, before NPDES staff begins the permit renewals. Any permitting conditions deemed appropriate by Region/NPDES will then be placed in the permit renewal files, and ultimately incorporated into the draft permit. If Regions have any questions, feel free to contact me or the following NPDES Regional Office Contacts: WSRO- Charles Weaver; RRO- Vanessa Manuel; WARO- Karen Rust.
