Section 1001 provides a punishment by a fine of not more than $25,000 or imprisonment not more than 5 years, or both, for a similar offense.) 3 of 3 Form-D 05/08 System Description Betsy -Jeff Penn 4-H Educational Center NPDES PERMIT No. NC 0078271 The influent enters the plant at a 13,000 gallon septic tank were most of the solids settle out. From there it passes through a baffle wall into a filter chamber, there are two Polylok PL-525 effluent filters in the chamber. From there it flows into the first of two 8100 gallon septic/recirculation tanks. Each tank has a pair of Polylok PL-525 effluent filters. After exiting the second 8100 gallon Septic/recirculation tank it flows into a 8100 gallon filter dosing pump tank. Up to this point every thing has been gravity feed. The dossing pump tank has 3 sets of submersible duplex turbine pumps rated @ 52 gallons per minute. Each set of pumps operates a zone of E-Z treat Pods, and each set is controlled by a float level switches and a timer that controls the dossing time for each E-Z treat pod. The pumps in each set alternate after each cycle of 4 minutes on 2 minutes off. There is a low limit float that shuts off the pumps in case of low level conditions, and high level float that sets off the alarm and flashing lights at the control panel. The E-Z treat pods are 7feet 9inch square and 34 in deep, they contain a lightweight, non - biodegradable synthetic sphere in three different diameters encapsulated in a mattress 7 % feet square by 2 feet thick. Each pod has a spray manifold system containing 12 - .0625 diameter brass nozzles that maintains a consistent misting spray. The effluent flows through the mattress coming in contact with the media as it exits the mattress. It flows through 7 large 4 inch under drains, and then flows to the recirculation tank to start the cycle over again. There are three zones of pods. Zone one and two have eight, E-Z treat treatment pods, and zone three has four E-Z treat treatment pods. 2/3 of the influent from each zone is returned to the first septic/recirculation tank were it returns through the system again. The other 3rd is sent back to the pump tank through a cross over ball float valve at which time it returns to the pump tank for recirculation through the system. When the effluent level in the pump tank reaches an elevation of 671.07' the ball valve closes and the effluent is sent to the discharge tank. The control panel contains three set of Ohio Electric electronic panels. This is a 120/240 volt 200 amp system with a heavy duty transfer switch for back up generation. There is a 15000 watt Guardian Ultra Source generator on site for emergency stand by. This is all protected by a weather proof shelter. The discharge tank is a1350 gallon tank with one 60 gallon per minute pump controlled by a float switch and timer. This tank also has a high level float that if activated will set off a alarm and flashing Tight at the control panel. The flow meter for the system is in this tank. It is a 2" brass ABB T3000 cold water turbine meter numerical display. Once the float is activated in the discharge tank the effluent goes through a SIM/TECH STF- 104/600 micron poly -knit filter sock, from here it enters the Trojan UV2000 ultraviolet disinfection system. The discharge from the UV system goes into a 2'X2' catch basin and down a 4" schedule 40 PVC pipe to Carroll Creek. The Betsy Jeff Penn 4-H Educational Center has a NPDES permit that allows treated wastewater from the camp to be discharged into Carroll Creek. The current permit, number NC0078271, allows a maximum discharge of 13100 gallons per day and has the following limits on the quality of the discharge. Item BOD TSS NH3 as N Fecal Coliform PH Monthly Average Limits 30.0 mg/L 30.0 12.0 mg/L 200/100 ml Daily Maximum Limits 45.0 mg/L NA 35.0 mg/L 400/100m1 not less than 6.0 nor greater than 9.0 Sludge Management Plan The Betsy -Jeff Penn 4-H Education Center NPDES Permit # NC0078271 currently contracts with Billingsley Septic Tank Company located in Reidsville NC, to have our tanks pump once a year to remove solids and sludge. This is normally done during the winter months when our system sees the least amount of influent .
