MEMORANDUM
TO: Susan A. Wilson, Supervisor
Western NPDES Program
Division of Water Quality
FROM: Dave McHenry, Habitat Conservation Biologist k
DATE: April 5, 2006
SUBJECT: Proposed Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) flow expansion,
Indian Creek Resort, Transylvania County
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the proposed
NPDES flow expansion for the Indian Creek Resort's wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Comments
from the NCWRC are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act
(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.),
and the North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 10I.0102.
Indian Creek is a small stream that supports a wild brook trout population. The NCWRC considers naturally -
reproducing brook trout, which is the only trout native to North Carolina, a high conservation priority.
Therefore, the NCWRC requests that you consider this relative to the proposed expansion and the ability of
the WWTP to meet existing water quality standards for Tr classified waters.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on this permit action. If I can be of further assistance,
please contact me at [phone] extension 24.

Dear Dr. Chernikov,
We have reviewed the draft permit for the above referenced facility and wish to request
the following corrections:
1. The present on -site management contact is Mr. Jim Austell. His name should
replace Mr. Hicks' name on the permit.
2. On page 2, number 1, the originally permitted UV system was reinstalled and the
chlorination/dechlorination system eliminated.
If you have any questions, please call me at [phone], extension 106. A copy of the
draft permit is attached with the requested corrections penciled in.
Also, could you change the contact for Catagoga to Mr. Jim Austell on other
correspondence from the state, or let us know who we need to contact to do this? Thank
you very much for your help.

SUMMARY
Catatoga at Lake Toxaway (Indian Creek Resort) is a golf and retirement community in
Transylvania County that is planning a future expansion from their existing 16 units to
approximately 400 units. Indian Creek Resort has applied for an expansion at the Catatoga at
Lake Toxaway WWTP. This facility is currently permitted for 0.025 MGD and 0.1 MGD and
requests a permitted flow of 0.14 MGD. The EAA for the expansion was approved on
01/06/2006.
A level B model was performed to ensure the proposed flows would be protective of the 6 mg/L
instream D.O. standard. Based on the results of this model, secondary BOD limits will be
sufficiently protective, with ammonia limits instituted based on toxicity.

SUMMARY
Indian Creek Resort has applied for an expansion at the Catatoga at Lake Toxaway WWTP.
This facility is currently permitted for 0.025 MGD and 0.1 MGD and requests a permitted flow
of 0.14 MGD.
A level B model was performed to ensure the proposed flows would be protective of the 6 mg/L
instream D.O. standard. Based on the results of this model, secondary BOD limits will be
sufficiently protective, with ammonia limits instituted based on toxicity.
ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION:
USGS gauge #0218412398 is located approximately 200 feet upstream the location of the
discharge point (based on lat/long coordinates). Therefore flows provided at that location were
used for the model. The model was developed with two reaches: reach 1 extends from the
discharge point to the confluence with the Toxaway River and reach 2 extends from the join of
the two rivers to a point 0.4 miles downstream on the Toxaway River where the elevation is
marked as 2000 ft. The DO minimum of 6.68 mg/L was reached at the discharge location,
however CBOD and NBOD values are significantly above background levels at the end of reach
1. The values were 7.16 mg/L and 4.21 mg/L, respectively, during the summer. Therefore the
model was extended to include the join with the Toxaway River. At the end of reach 2, 0.4
miles down the Toxaway River, CBOD values reduced to 3.8 mg/L and NBOD values were 2.14
mg/L. It is assumed that these values will return to background further down the Toxaway
River.
Note: The Savannah River Basin Plan notes no water quality concerns or restrictions to
discharge on Indian Creek. It does mention, however, that an instream flow study was
performed on the Toxaway River prior to 2001 based on citizen concerns about the flow and
temperature of the waterbody. As a result of his study, a minimum release of 12.5 cfs was
instituted for the dam at Lake Toxaway. The flow estimates used for Lake Toxaway are from
data collected as USGS gauge 0218412334 in 1986; therefore it is possible that current flows
for this river are significantly higher than what was used for this model.

Engineering Alternative Analysis
Purpose and Introduction
Catatoga at Lake Toxaway is a golf and retirement community in Transylvania County that is
planning a future expansion from their existing 16 units to approximately 400 units. Catatoga's
existing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is permitted for a 0.025 MGD NPDES' surface
water discharge, which is inadequate for the expansion. Therefore, Catatoga seeks to expand its
wastewater treatment and discharge capacity.
The purpose of this Engineering Alternative Analysis is:
1. to aid in determining the best alternative for Catatoga to use to expand its system.
2. in partial fulfillment of the NC Department of Environmental and Natural Resources
(NCDENR) requirements for an NPDES application.

STEP 1: Will the Proposed Discharge Be Allowed?
Zero Flow Stream Restrictions
Based on information from the United States Geological Survey, the 7Q 102 for this stream is 1.4
1.1 cfs. The 30Q23 flow is estimated to be 4.7 cfs, based on the USGS estimate of 1.0 cfs per
sq.mile. (USGS information is in Appendix D)
Receiving Stream Classification Restrictions
PEI
The stream is classified "C -Trout".4 (Appendix E)
rim Basin Wide Water Quality Plans
The Basinwide Water Quality Plan (Appendix F) states that for the Savannah River Subbasin
(03-13-02) of which Indian Creek is a part:
• There were no previously impaired waters.
• There were no newly impaired waters.
�► • There are no 303(d) listed waters.
• The Bioclassification for Indian Creek (Site B-1) is "Good" for Benthic Macroinvertebrates.
Impaired Waters and TMDLs
►ma Neither Indian Creek, Toxaway River, nor any water body in the Savannah River Basin in NC are
listed on the 303(d) list. (Appendix G)
Endangered Species
The threatened and endangered species for Transylvania County are listed in Appendix H.

STEP 2: Provide Flow Projections
The average daily design flow from the development will be 0.140 MGD'. As stated above, this
is based on approximately 400 units. For example 389 three -bedroom units at 360 GPD/unit
could be permitted, or some combination of three or two bedroom units, with the two bedroom
0.1
units permitted at 240 GPD/unit. The existing permitted flow for Catatoga is 0.025 MGD,
therefore the increase in flow will be 0.115 MGD.
STEP 3: Evaluate Technically Feasible Alternatives
Alternative A. Pump to another treatment plant
The nearest municipal WWTP is in Rosman, which is 7.2 miles east. The Rosman WWTP is
r=, permitted for 0.09 MGD, which is insufficient for the 0.140 MGD flow from Catatoga. The
Sapphire Lakes WWTP located west of Catatoga is permitted for 0.025 MGD, which is also
Pal insufficient. A list of all NPDES dischargers in Transylvania County is in Appendix I. EPA
information about the Rosman and Sapphire facilities is in Appendix G.
Alternative B. Land Application
Land application systems could include onsite subsurface systems, drip irrigation and spray
irrigation.
Alternative Bi. Onsite Subsurface System
Subsurface onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS)are y good systems where area,
topography and site conditions are favorable. In the proposed onsite subsurface system, each
residence would discharge to its own septic tank. The septic tanks would discharge to
recirculating sandfilter(s) prior to discharge. The sandfilters would ensure the protection of the
groundwater and extend the life of the disposal field.
Site evaluation
In order to install a subsurface disposal field, a site evaluation must be completed to determine if
the site is suitable in regard to:
$ 400 units * 360 GPD = 144,000 GPD, for design say 140,000 (some units will be two bedroom).

1. topography and landscape position
2. soil characteristics (morphology)
fat 3. soil wetness
4. soil depth
fan 5. restrictive horizons
6. available space.
Each of these are discussed below.
Topography and Landscape Position
'.' Catatoga plans to place housing units on all the property that has 30 percent or less slopes. Based
on the North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 18A.1939 - .1948 (Appendix K), any
Fm' areas with greater slopes are considered by the State to be "unsuitable" as to topography.6 Areas
with greater slopes can be classified as "provisionally suitable" if7:
(a) The soil characteristics can be classified as "suitable" or "provisionally suitable" to a depth of
at least one foot below the bottom of the nitrification trench at the upslope side of the trench;
(b) Surface water runoff is diverted around the nitrification field if necessary to prevent scouring
or erosion of the soil over the field; and
(c) The finished grade over the nitrification field site is returned to the original topography and
adequately seeded, unless otherwise specified by the local health department.
Soil Characteristics (Morphology)
fas, According to the Soil Survey of Transylvania County (Appendix L) the soils on the Catatoga site
consist of:
AnF - Ashe and Ednyville soils, 25 to 45% slopes
BvE — Brevard Loam 10 to 25% slopes
ChE — Chester Fine Sandy Loam 15 to 25% slopes
ChF - Chester Fine Sandy Loam 25 to 45% slopes
EdG — Ednyville stony loam, 45 to 70% slopes
6 North Carolina Administrative Code: 15A NCAC 18A.1940
7 North Carolina Administrative Code: 15A NCAC 18A .I956 (5)

None of these soils are "unsuitable", except any slopes that are 65% or greater. See Figure 3.

Soil Depth
Soil depth has not been field evaluated.
Restrictive Horizons
Restrictive horizons have not been field evaluated.
Available Space
For an OWTS, the required area would be as calculated below.
Length of trench = 115,000 GPD * 70 percent (using double stone) = 67,083 L.F.
0.4 GPD/ft2 * 3 ft width
Distance between trenches = 20 feet (because of steep slope)
Area = 67,083 LF * 20 ft = 1,342,000 SF = 31 acres. An additional area of equal size must be
supplied as a repair area, which would total 62 acres. Assuming that 25 percent of a given tract
is lost to ravines, drainage, buffers, etc., the needed area is 83 acres.
There are only about 31 acres_available(shown in Figure 3) in significantly large tracts, which is
not sufficient for this flow or for the required repair areas. An additional 50 to 60 acreas would \ii
be necessary in order to discharge this amount of wastewater.
'o' Alternative B2. Drip System
A drip system may be possible for irrigation on the golf course or for applying in the trees around
FOR the development. This would require a wastewater treatment plant with a 7-day capacity holding
pond and a drip irrigation system. A pump station would be needed to pump the effluent to the
gig various disposal sites.
Area
miq
The required area would be 70 acres, based on information from the drip system supplier.

fInt
Climate
Land application of wastewater requires, like subsurface systems, favorable soils, topography,
and area. Also, it requires dry periods in order to land apply the wastewater. Transylvania
County averages 90 inches per year of rain per year and also holds the State record of 130 inches
of rainfall in one year (National Climatic Data Center, Appendix M). Also freezing conditions
exist for a significant portion of the year. A significant concern for land application systems of
this kind would be having enough dry weather to actually apply the wastewater.
Based on the terrain, the cold winter temperatures and the rainy climate, the vendor for the drip
system and spray irrigation system (discussed below) stated that a drip system or spray irrigation
system for this situation is "fundamentally a bad idea".
Alternative B3. Spray Irrigation System
Another alternative considered would be to land apply the wastewater onto the wooded area
around the development. Based on an application rate of 1/2 inch / wk (which is an assumed
`am application rate based on the steeper slopes and the slower permeability rates of the soils, and the
experience of the spray irrigation system vendor), 72 acres would be needed. (See calculations)
As mentioned above, though technically feasible, spray irrigation is not a good solution for this
design.
fan
Alternative C. Wastewater Reuse
There are no apparent ample reuses for the wastewater at Catatoga. The golf course could
possibly use a portion of the wastewater in drier months for watering, but the golf course is only
about 7.6 acres, which is much less that the needed 72 acres onto which the wastewater must be
applied.
Alternative D. Direct Discharge to Surface Waters
Stream Flow
The stream has a non -zero 7Q10 of 1.4 cfs.

Discharge Location
The present discharge location and pipe will be used for the expansion (See calculations for
verification that the present pipe will be sufficient). The discharge is shown on the location map
(Figure 1).
Proposed Treatment Train
Though the discharge limits have not be established at this point, the proposed facilties based on
the assumed limits of 5 mg
/L BOD and 1 mg/L of NH3-N would be:
fan
• pretreatment by screening,
• flow equalization,
1_1 • Modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) process (first stage anoxic — second stage aerobic),
• secondary clarification,
• activated sludge return,
1.1
• scum removal,
• fixed media clarification (fixed media filters),
,aa, • ultraviolet disinfection,
• activated sludge wasting,
• aerated sludge holding,
• flow metering
A schematic diagram is presented as Figure 4.
Feat The existing 4" discharge pipe will be ample for the increased flow and will be used for the next
phase. No new discharge point outfall is being applied for.
Pact
The land for the new expansion is available at the present site.
The system will be designed to meet the reliability requirements of 15A NCAC 2H.0219. The
reliability measures shall include the following:
1. multiple (dual at a minimum) components such as pumps, chemical feed systems,
0" aeration equipment and disinfection equipment;
Faal 2. dual or standby power supply on site,
Catatoga NPDES Engineering Alternatives Analysis
Goldie & Associates Project # 663.10
Page 8
11!15/2005

3. parallel units for components in the liquid line (screening, primary sedimentation,
biological treatment units, chemical and physical treatment units, clarifiers, disinfection
and effluent filters) as appropriate to ensure the reliability of the system.
Residuals from the system will be disposed in accordance with the present NPDES permit.
fan Alternative E. Combination of Alternatives
It is technically feasible to discharge to the stream in wet weather and discharge onsite during dry
weather. However, based on the considerable amount of rainfall to this area, it is believed that
the benefit of this would not be significant. Also, the 7Q 10 of the stream is ample to receive the
`.' discharge, even in dry conditions.
STEP 4: Evaluate Economic Feasibility of Alternatives
Fin To provide valid cost comparisons among all technologically feasible wastewater alternatives
identified in STEP 3, a 20-year Present Value of Costs Analysis (PVCA) must be performed.
For the PVCA cost comparison, all future expenditures are converted to a present value cost at
the beginning of the 20-year planning period. A discount rate is used in the analysis and
0.4 represents the time value of money (the ability of money to earn interest). Present value is also
referred to as "present discounted value" or "present worth". A summary of the Capital Costs,
'.' Recurring Costs and Present Values by alternative are presented below. It appears that the
WWTP with Surface Water Discharge is the most cost effective. It also seems to be the most
technically feasible alternative. Information regarding sizing of the systems, along with capital
costs, recurring costs and the Present Value Analysis is presented in the Calculations.

Definition
A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range."
A taxon "likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all
or a significant portion of its range."
A taxon proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened.
A taxon under consideration for official listing for which there is sufficient
information to support listing.
A Federal species of concern --a species that may or may not be listed in the future
(formerly C2 candidate species or species under consideration for listing for which
there is insufficient information to support listing).
Threatened due to similarity of appearance (e.g., American alligator )--a species that
is threatened due to similarity of appearance with other rare species and is listed for
its protection. These species are not biologically endangered or threatened and are
not subject to Section 7 consultation.

1 XP - A taxon that is listed as experimental (either essential or nonessential).
Experimental, nonessential endangered species (e.g., red wolf) are treated as
threatened on public land, for consultation purposes, and as species proposed for
listing on private land.
Species with 1, 2, 3, or 4 asterisks behind them indicate historic, obscure, or incidental records.
*Historic record - the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago.
**Obscure record - the date and/or location of observation is uncertain.
* * *Incidental/migrant record - the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat.
****Historic record - obscure and incidental record.
PM' 1In the November 4, 1997, Federal Register (55822-55825), the northern population of the bog turtle
(from New York south to Maryland) was listed as T (threatened), and the southern population (from
Virginia south to Georgia) was listed as T(S/A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). The T(S/A)
'"' designation bans the collection and interstate and international commercial trade of bog turtles from the
southern population. The T(S/A) designation has no effect on land -management activities by private
landowners in North Carolina, part of the southern population of the species.
