Bob Zimmerman;
Sorry for the delay in getting back with you on this subject. The section doesn't have specific definitions in the 2T rules
for theitems you are inquiring about. I have attached a copy of the relevant 2T rules that address "storage units" and
the necessary setbacks, along with the design requirements for lagoons/ponds. -
If a tank is proposed, such as the type depicted at the following website ( http://www.aquastore.com/waste-water-
storage-tank.html ) then the only issue to address is the location of the tank relative to the setbacks in .0506.
As outlined in previous emails, (attached document); as long as the flow volume outlined in the permit is not changed,
crop types (nutrient management) changed, wastewater characteristics changed, etc. then the current nutrient loadings
for the Bermuda crop would not change and Realistic Yield Expectation (RYE) addressed under 2T would not be
applicable. _
Once a decision is made as to the type of device/unit/well/etc. that is intended for use by Campbell Soup to help with
the pumping efficiency of the current pumping station on Modest Road, please contact us at your convenience with any
questions that might arise.

Subject: Wet Well Expansion
Jim,
The Campbell Soup Company in Maxton NC, is investigating expanding the pump pit feeding our spray irrigation system. Prior to
developing detailed engineering estimates arid drawings I would appreciate if you could investigate the various options we have to
expand the wet well. In particular how the State would define a Wet Well, a Lagoon, a Holding Tank, what would be the permit
impact of installing each and any design standards of each that might imposed.
The intent is to install additional capacity for the pumping system without triggering permit conditions and in a manner that meets the
States design requirements.
Thank You.

Nathaniel;
I'll give'you a call once:everyone is -settled.
I will get.baok to you about the issue of 4mgd max or monthly average after conferring with
Art. I believe that it was decided that it would be based -on a monthly average. I'was under
the impression that. -most modeling performed to determine mounding effects on the water table
was based on a monthly average application rate? Were as with a municipal spray irrigation
system; the modeling for the,plant treatment capacity was based on a -annual average. In both
cases, the monthly floating total carries the most weight??'

Also, I am working on the draft permit for the modification, and have come across a
potential stumbling block. When updating the' facility to the new shell, I will need to
put the monitoring requirements in PPI 001 of Attachment A. Has the flow monitoring ever
been -finalized? I remember there were questions about 'whether or not it was 4 MGD-daily
max or 4 MGD monthly average. I'll need to know this before I can issue this
modification (or I'll have to modify the shell).
Thanks,
