Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. 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 (or as subsequently amended). This final permit includes one major change from the revised draft permit sent to you on January 9, 2002. The Wastewater Management Plan requirement has been amended to eliminate the requirement for an analysis of costs for connection to the City of Greensboro. That information has been submitted by your Authorized Representative (Richard Hughes of C J Service). The other portions of the Plan must be submitted by October 28, 2002. Please note that your facility is discharging high amounts of total residual chlorine (TRC). The average TRC concentration in the effluent should be below 28 µg/L (0.028 mg/L). Your facility discharged TRC concentrations at several times this level throughout 2000 and 2001. Unless these concentrations are reduced, the Division may reopen this permit to include a chlorine limit. 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 demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. 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 or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.

Woodlake was encouraged to look at additional flow equalization, tertiary filters and disinfection options (chlorination and dechlorination as opposed to ultraviolet). Guilford County will not be running sewer into the area anytime in the near future despite Oakwood's desire to cease this discharge by sewer connection. The Piver letter indicates a desire to add flow to this facility despite previous problems with the receiving stream. Barbara Norcom indicated on this date by phone that they are trying to sell this plant to a utility and they will know by the end of the month if this will occur. At that time they will advise DWQ in writing. She also indicated that the purchaser would be required in the contract to provide for WWTP upgrades by a specified date. DWQ needs to reissue this permit and request concurrence from DWS at this time. If you have any questions or comments please contact Dave Goodrich at 910/733-5083 x 517. You may also wish to discuss this with our office. Barbara Norcom with Oakwood may be reached at 910/664-2400 for additional insights.

Our findings are as follows: 1. The plant is presently permitted to.discharge up to 70,000. gallons per day (gpd) average daily flow (ADF). DEHNR will not permit a flow increase over 70,000 gpd. 2. Over the past 12 months the plant has treated and discharged an ADF of 42,503 gpd. The highest monthly ADF was in January of this year, 48,511 gpd. 3. Discussions with the State DEHNR indicate that the agency will accept the highest monthly ADF (48,511 gpd) as the current level of utilization of the plant. Therefore, the remaining capacity available to Oakwood for development is 21,489 gpd, which will bring the level of utilization of the plant to 70,000 gpd. 4. When the 12 month ADF (42,503 gpd) is divided by the total number of sites (415) contributing to the plant, an ADF of 105 gpd/site is derived. 5. Utilizing the contribution/site ratio of 105 gpd/ site would allow Oakwood to develop an additional 204 sites (21,489 gpd / 105 gpd/ site) that would discharge to this facility without exceeding its permitted flow limit. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to call us. Sincerely, William C. illiam C. Piver, P.E. ociates. Helping Businesses and Individuals Maximize their Property Development Objectives NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT HEALTH AND NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY April 22, 1997 MEMORANDUM TO: File FROM: Steve Mauney SUBJECT: Oakwood Homes/Woodlake Guilford County On April 22, 1997, Larry Coble and I met with Robert D. Harvey, V.P. Adm. Oakwood; Barbara C. Norcom, Director of Operations, Oakwood and William C. Piver, PE to discuss their compliance status. BACKGROUND 1. Engineering Economic Analysis, November 1992. 2. ATC issued March 15, 1994, for tertiary filters and UV disinfection. (not constructed) 3. Oakwood sold the Woodlake MHP but still controls Graybridge Subdivision and owns about 60 acres of vacant land. 4. Draft permit is on hold from comments by Division of Water Supply. 5. Through February 1997, the facility has shown 6 months of total compliance. MEETING NOTES 1. Ms. Norcom said that it would cost $800,000 to run the sewer up Randleman Road and to install the Pump Station along with 'an additional requirement from Greensboro to upgrade the water line to their site from 6" to 12". 2. A second option to tie into sewer at Pleasant Garden is a distance of 1 1/2 miles. 3. Oakwood expressed a strong desire to eliminate the plant, but with the associated costs, they desire to upgrade their plant until sewer collection is available at a more reasonable cost. 4. Oakwood was encouraged to look at the addition of flow equalization as well as the tertiary filters and disinfection. As opposed to the UV disinfection, Mr. Piver said they would evaluate chlorination and dechlorination. e 5. Mr. Harvey said that Guilford County doesn't have the area of Woodlake listed on any future schedule to receive sewer service. 6. Oakwood will evaluate current water use and their potential to use the total 70,000 GPD capacity of permit. (Current flow average of 41,000 GPD). • 7. Response from Oakwood is due June 2; 1997. SUMMARY Some of the mechanical units may need major renovation just to achieve the original capacity of 70,000 GPD. If Oakwood begins to back pedal on the upgrades listed above in #4, they should be required to provide a current alternative$analysis which includes a soils analysis. DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT April 25, 1996 MEMORANDUM TO: Lee Spencer, WSRO Linda Sewall, DEH THROUGH: Dave Goodrich FROM: Jeanette Powell SUBJECT: Draft NPDES Permit No. NC0023299 Woodlake Mobile Home Park cc: Ron Linville, WSRO The following is provided in response to your March 26, 1996 memo providing comments on the subject draft NPDES permit. An alternatives analysis was performed in 1993..The facility is in the process of investigating connection to municipal sewer, which is currently located within 2.25 miles of the site. There are no current plans for the extension of municipal sewer to the site. However, the facility is investigating the possibility of installing a sewer line and recovering the costs through connection fees. According to the Regional Office, there is no analytical documentation of problem discharges from this facility. Noxious conditions have been visually observed instream and the facility has cleaned out the creek on at least one occasion. A copy of the Regional Office Staff Report is attached for your convenience, as is a copy of the revised Part III of the permit. The draft permit has been modified to require removal of the discharge and connection to municipal sewer within 180 days of availability. An updated alternatives analysis shall also be required within one year of the issuance of this permit. In addition, Ron Linville has indicated that the removal of the elbow on the discharge pipe is desirable. This action would allow the Regional Office to visually observe the discharge and collect samples when suspect conditions exist. Barbara Norcom of Oakwood Development is pursuing this action directly with Ron Linville. We hope that this information satisfies any concerns you have regarding the renewal of this NPDES permit. If you have further comment regarding this discharge, please respond prior to May 24 so that we may proceed with finalizing this permit. Part III Permit No. NC0023299 E. POTW Connection Condition This facility discharges into a zero flow stream and removal of the discharge is recommended. Within 180 days of municipal sewer service availability, Oakwood Land Development Corporation is required to tie on and discontinue all wastewater discharges to waters of the state. F. Zero Flow Condition The facility discharges into a stream with 7Q10/30Q2=0 cfs. Removal of discharge is recommended if a more environmentally sound alternative is available at an economically reasonable cost. An engineering report evaluating alternatives to discharge is due within one year of permit issuance. As part of the report, the cost of constructing a treatment plant that will meet a limit 17 µg/1 chlorine should be included, if there are no feasible alternatives to surface discharge. Upon review of the engineering report, the Division retains the right to reopen and modify this NPDES permit to require removal of the discharge or to revise the permit limitations within a specified time schedule. State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Division of Environmental Health James B. Hunt, Jr., Governor Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary Linda C. Sewall, Director MEMORANDUM TO: e�� �EHNFR March 26, 1996 Mr. David Goodrich NPDES Permits Group Leader Discharge Permits Unit Division of Environmental Management FROM: Linda C. Sewalll, Director Division of Environmental Health SUBJECT: Draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Woodlake Mobile Home Park WWTP Permit No. NC0023299 Guilford County Reference is made to the above Draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit. We have reviewed this draft permit and offer the following comments. The existing discharge is on the headwaters of the City of Randleman's water supply watershed. These waters are classified WS-III. The draft permit states that "An engineering report evaluating alternatives to discharge is due 180 days prior to expiration along with the renewal application". Yet the Staff Review and Evaluation form states that this language was previously included in the 3/15/94 Authorization to Construct. It also states that no alternatives analysis was provided with the permit renewal application. Is this report not due now?? Could not the current application be considered incomplete? The Staff Review and Evaluation form also states that noxious conditions have been observed immediately downstream of this discharge. The water treatment plant for Randleman has a very difficult time with taste and odor problems due to algae in their reservoir, especially during warmer months. Though this discharge is not likely to be solely responsible for this condition, is it no doubt a contributing factor. What has been done to correct this situation of noxious conditions in the receiving stream? P.O.

The purpose of this report is to identify and evaluate feasible alternatives for the disposal of wastewater from the mobile home park which now discharges to a designated zero flow stream. 2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION Facility Name: NPDES Permit No: County: Facility Address: Name of Permittee: Permittee's Mailing Address: Permittee's Phone Number: Name of Receiving Stream: Report Prepared by: Preparer's NC PE Certification No.: Preparer's Address: Preparer's Phone No.: Woodlake Mobile Home Park NC 0023299 Guilford Sheraton Park Rd.(NCSR 3426), south of Greensboro, Guilford County, NC Oakwood Land Development Corporation 2225 S.

The plant has an influent pump station, two parallel aeration systems each having 35,000 gallon capacity & diffused aeration, aerated sludge holding tank, final clarifiers, chlorination, chlorine contact tank, continuous flow measurement and recording, and standby power. The plant is currently permitted for a flow of 70,000 gal./day at a detention time of 24 hours. The existing facility provides treatment for the wastewater discharge from WLMHP which currently has approximately 300 mobile home lots, and from Greybridge Development which has approximately 118 lots either completed or under development. For reference purposes, a partial copy of the USGS topo map of the area is provided in Appendix 1 of this report. 2.2 COMPLIANCE HISTORY Based on a review of compliance evaluation analysis reports. covering the period May, 1990 through March, 1992, only one minor permit violation was identified during the two year period. That violation, which occurred in July, 1991, consisted of a reported NH3-N value of 6.53 mg/1 as opposed to a permit limit of 5.00 mg/1. Copies of the referenced compliance evaluation analysis reports are provided in Appendix 2 of this report. 3.0 EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES The following non -discharge alternatives have been considered in this study: 1. Connection to municipal sewer system 2.. Subsurface disposal 3. Spray irrigation In addition to the non -discharge alternatives listed above, relocation of the discharge to a stream with 7Q10/30Q2 >0 or 7Q10 = 0 and 30Q2 >0 has been considered. Also, upgrade of the existing facility to continue the discharge in compliance with limits of BOD = 5/10 mg/1, NH3-N = 1/1.8 mg/1, summer/winter respectively, as defined in the existing permit, has been considered. Page - 2 3.1 CONNECTION TO PUBLIC SEWER SYSTEM Various options for connecting the discharge from WLMHP to the municipal sewer system have been previously investigated by another consultant on behalf of Oakwood Land Development,Inc. Based on the information available to RAL, it appears that both a private system (serving only property owned by Oakwood) and a public system (serving the entire drainage basin) were considered. It appears that the other consultant's investigations concluded that approximately 19000 feet of sewer lines (one mile of gravity sewer, the rest force main) would be required for the private system. Connection to the Municipal system would have been inside the Greensboro city limits along South Elm Eugene Street, about three miles north of the existing WLMHP treatment plant location. Although feasible, connection to the municipal system in this manner was shown to be very expensive. Preliminary cost estimates for the private and public systems, as prepared by Hugh Creed Associates, Inc., are provided in appendix 3 of this report. In the course of this investigation, it has been learned that Guilford County and the City of Greensboro are in the process of extending municipal sewers to areas somewhat nearer WLMHP. According to Mr. Larry Harville of the Guilford County Planning and Development Department, the sewer extension project was prompted by the poor soil conditions and numerous failing subsurface disposal systems in the area. The project, known as "The Southeast Sewer Project", consisting of 7 separate phases designated project A through G, has been approved by the City of Greensboro and the County Board of Commissioners. Engineering design contracts have been awarded on three of the projects and the other four are anticipated in the near future. In addition to these seven sewer extension projects, and more pertinent to this report, the County Board of Commissioners has authorized a sewer extension to Pleasant Garden elementary school. The Pleasant Garden School sewer will extend to within approximately two miles of WLMHP's property, making connection of their discharge to the municipal system at that point another possible alternative. According to Mr. Harville, completion of the sewer to Pleasant Garden School is anticipated by late 1994 or early 1995. A map of the proposed sewer extensions, project schedule, and county newsletter concerning the projects are provided in Appendix 4 of this report. It appears that the most feasible route for a force main to transfer the discharge from WLMHP to the municipal sewer near the school would be along the right-of-way of Sheraton Park Road as shown in Appendix 5 of this report. This route would require approximately 11000 feet of force main and 500 feet of gravity sewer. The exact distances will depend on the final location of the municipalsewer when it is constructed and -easement availability. Page - 3 In another project, unrelated to the subject of this report, RAL suggested the possibility of connecting an industrial discharge to the municipal sewer at Pleasant Garden School. At present, the County sewer project proposes construction of an eight inch gravity sewer to serve the school. Connection of WLMHP and pssibly industrial discharge) to that sewer may necessitate anincrease tin size of the line or other design changes which would have to be discussed in detail with the county. 3.2 SUBSURFACE DISPOSAL At the present time, Oakwood Land Development, Inc. owns a tract of approximately 50 acres of undeveloped land south of Greybridge and west of WLMHP. Although potentially available for on -site wastewater disposal, Oakwood has had plans to develop the 50 acre tract for some time. The use of the tract for on -site wastewater disposal would, therefore, have a significant opportunity cost. In RAL's opinion, regardless of land availability, the chances for success of a subsurface disposal system large enough to handle the currently permitted flow of 70,000 gal./day are very remote. Based on the county's experience with failed subsurface systems in the area, as related to us by Mr. Harvel, it also seems unlikely that the county would look favorably on the installation of such a large system. In order to more fully evaluate the potential for on -site disposal at this site, we have reviewed a report by Soil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (S&EC) which was recently prepared for us relative to an engineering economic analysis for another mobile home park located just south of WLMHP. All of the recommendations in that report were based on, s&EC's experience with soils in southern Guilford county near WLMHP. S&EC conducted an office study to provide approximate land area requirements and loading rates to be used in considering the potential for an on -site disposal area. A complete soil study would have to be conducted at a later date, should a potentially acceptable disposal area be identified. The office study was conducted by Mr. Kevin C. Martin, CPSS, and his report and recommendations are provided in Appendix 6 of this report for reference. Recommendations given in the S&EC report were based on a design flow of 27,000 gal./day for the other project. RAL has extrapolated to estimate the parameters for the 70,000 gal./day design flow at WLMHP. Based on the report, a conventional nitrification trench subsurface disposal system, to handle the currently permitted design flow of 70,000 gal/day, would require approximately between 27 and 55 acres of suitable land, including the 100% repair area required by state design criteria. 4 S&EC also considered the land requirements for a low pressure pipe subsurface disposal system. According to their analysis, between 19 and 80 acres of suitable land would be required. In his report, Mr. Martin indicated that, in his experience, he believes that it would be extremely unlikely that the low ends of the ranges of required land area identified above would be sufficient. Rather, he suggested using values about in the middle of the ranges given. Also, the values given in the S&EC report were exclusive of state required buffer areas. Based on all of the factors involved, the following loading rates and land area requirements for subsurface disposal systems are estimated. Loading Rate: Required Land Area For 70000 Gal/day : Conventional Nitrification Disposal Trenches 0.2 to 0.4 GPD/SF Approx. 47 Acres Low Pressure Pipe Disposal Trenches .05 to 0:2 GPD/SF Approx. 52 Acres RAL has noted the existence of several small creeks, drainage swales and dense woods on the 50 acre tract. Also, it would be necessary to keep any on -site disposal system a safe distance from the lake which forms the entire east boundary of the parcel. Therefore, we estimate that no more than 35 to 40 acres of the tract is realistically available for on -site disposal. The potential for purchase or long term lease of adjacent property in order to acquire sufficient land for a subsurface disposal system has been considered. At the present time, it appears very unlikely that any adjacent landowners can be• identified who are willing to consider the sale or lease of such a large parcel for such an arrangement. Based on the above information, it appears that a subsurface disposal system is not a feasible alternative for this project, either on -site or on adjacent land. Page - 5 3.3 SPRAY IRRIGATION SYSTEM The only potential on -site area for spray irrigation is the 50 acre parcel previously described. Also, according to the S & EC report (Appendix 6), between 24 and 64 acres would be required for spray irrigation. Using the same reasoning as described above in section 3.2 of this report, the land area requirement is estimated, for planning purposes, to be about 50 acres for the disposal area. In addition to the disposal area, additional land would be required to construct a holding pond. State design criteria require an absolute minimum of 30 days storage for spray irrigation systems designed for more than 1000 gal./day. S&EC indicated in their report that, based on their experience in the area, a holding time of between 45 and 90 days will be required when a detailed water balance is done. Based on a storage period of 70 days, at a flow rate of 70000 gal/day, a 4 foot deep pond would have to be about 4 acres in size. Considering reasonable buffer areas and an access road, the required space is estimated to be closer to 6 acres. The above described calculations suggest that the following approximate design criteria are appropriate for planning purposes. Preliminary Criteria for Spray Irrigation Loading Rate: .33 to .75 inches per week (.027 to .067 gpd/sf) Land required for disposal: 50 acres Land required for holding pond Total land required• 6 acres 56 acres. The possibility of acquiring adjacent land for spray irrigation system was considered as described above for subsurface disposal. To date no available land (either for sale or lease) has been identified. Therefore, the spray irrigation alternative does not appear to be feasible for this project. Page - 6 3.4 RELOCATION OF DISCHARGE TO FLOWING STREAM The relocation of the discharge from WLMHP to Polecat Creek has been investigated. It appears that a route does exist which would involve installing approximately 6500 feet of gravity sewer. The main obstacles to this alternative are the crossing of Sheraton Park Road and the need to obtain easements from landowners along the route. A possible route for the discharge is identified on the USGS topo map of the area and has been included in Appendix 7 of this report. Typically, relocation of a discharge from a zero flow stream to a more significant stream (7Q10/30Q2 > 0) would be expected to result in somewhat less stringent discharge limits (ie: BOD = 30 mg/1, SS = 30 mg/1). In the area near WLMHP, however, Polecat Creek is believed to have a 7Q10=0, a winter 7Q10=0.75, and a 30Q2=0.15. It is also important to note that Polecat Creek is the water supply for the Town of Randleman. Also, during the course of this study, it has been learned there are plans already underway to construct a dam on the Deep River at Randleman in order to create a large drinking water impoundment. Based on the above information, WLMHP would probably have to contend with very stringent discharge limits within a short time after relocating their discharge, if such limits are not imposed immediately. Thus, the relocation of the discharge to Polecat Creek would probably involve a considerable expense and little, if any, benefit. 3.5 CONTINUATION OF DISCHARGE UNDER MORE STRINGENT PERMIT LIMITS According to the existing NPDES permit for this facility, if the discharge continues after May 1, 1994, the more stringent limits of BOD5 = 5/10 mg/1 and NH3-N = 1/1.8 mg/1, summer/winter respectively, will apply. Based on a review of the self -monitoring data from the facility for the two year period from May 1990 through March 1992, the proposed stringent concentration limits for BOD5 were exceeded only six times and the stringent ammonia limits were exceeded only five times. This data suggests that the existing treatment facility can probably be modified in order to comply with the new discharge limits. It is important to note, however, that the flow through the plant ranged from 39,500 gal/day to 47,600 gal/day during the data collection period. It is assumed that the existing plant's ability to meet the stringent limits would be more questionable as the permitted flow of 70,000 gal/day is approached. Improvements that may be required, if the present facility is to continue discharging, include effluent sand filters and, possibly, breakpoint chlorination for ammonia nitrogen removal followed by dechlorination to reduce chlorine residuals. Page - 7 4.0 COST ANALYSIS Based on the results of this investigation, it appears that connection of the WLMHP to the municipal sewer system is the only non -discharge option evaluated which may be technically possible. The main constraints appear to be the considerable distance which the discharge would have to be pumped and the possible need to make design changes to the proposed new municipal sewer in order to accommodate the added flow. The other possible alternative for this facility is to upgrade the existing treatment facility in order to meet the more stringent limits which will be imposed in 1994. A preliminary capital cost estimate for each of these alternatives has been prepared in order to compare them. These estimates are necessarily very preliminary .at this time. Prior to actual implementation of either alternative, more accurate design criteria should be established and the cost estimates revised to reflect same. 4.1 PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMA 1 E: CONNECT DISCHARGE TO MUNICIPAL SEWER AT PLEASANT GARDEN SCHOOL Easement Acquisition- (not land purchases)= $ 10,000 Pump Station - (Duplex W/ Standby Power) _ $ 50,000 6 Inch PVC Force Main -11000 LF @ $12.50 = $137,500 Bore & Jack @ HWY. - (6" pvc in 12" stl. casing) 150 LF @ $150/LF = $ 22,500 Air Release Manholes - 4ea. @ $2000 = $ 8,000 8 Inch PVC Gravity Sewer - 500 LF @ $30.00 LF. _ $ 15,000 Manholes - 5 ea. @ $1200 $ 6,000 Erosion/Sedimentation Control - Lump Sum = $ 15,500 Final Grading & Seeding of Alignment = $ 15,000 Damage Repair - (pavement repair, culvert replacement, etc.) _ $ 5,000 Professional Fees = $ 25,000 Misc.

Incidental Costs & Contingencies = $ 10,000 Approximate Total Cost Estimate = $ 88,500 5.0 SUMMARY Based on the approximate cost estimates identified above, it is immediately apparent that the least costly alternative, in terms of capital costs, is to upgrade the existing treatment plant and continue to discharge at the present location. Operating costs for the various alternatives can not be determined at this time due to the very preliminary nature of the design criteria. A general comment on operating costs, however, is as follows: 1. Operation of the upgraded treatment plant would entail chemical costs not now incurred, but additional power costs for pumping for the other alternatives would probably balance the increased chemical costs. As a result of this study, it appears that the only reasonably cost effective alternative is to upgrade and continue to operate the existing plant. There appears to be a general movement toward extending municipal sewers toward the area around WLMHP, however, and further discussions with city and county authorities concerning possiblecost sharing arrangements are recommended. Such arrangements may benefit Oakwood Land Development and other residents in the area.

The State requirement was based upon the length and magnitude. of the project (30.5 miles of lines and 5 pump stations). The Environmental. Assessment addressed three (3) alternatives. They were 1) construction of a sewer line to alleviate failing septic systems, 2) private construction of eight (8) small package wastewater treatment facilities; and 3) the no build alternative. Package treatment systems are less expensive than extension of public lines from Greensboro existing sewer system. However, package plants have a higher likelihood of failure than a municipal system, and are not favored by the State when sewer service is an available option and also when within a major watershed (Burlington). Our consultant, Piedmont -Olsen Engineers, Inc., completed an EA for the project. On July 24th the State advised us of a "Finding of No Significant Lnpact" (FONSI). The FONSI concludes the environment review An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will not be prepared for this project. We may now proceed with the Design Phase. DESIGN STATUS The Southeast Sewer Project as approved by the County Board of Couuuissioners and City of Greensboro has seven (7) project phases. Most phases depend on the adjoining downstream phase for design location and elevations. Greensboro's section has now been designed to the point where staff could recommend design work to begin on Projects A, D, and F as shown on the map. Projects B,'C, E, and G, will follow at a later time as locations and elevations are established. In addition to the Southeast sewers, the Board of County Commissioners has authorized the extension of sewer lines to Alamance and. Pleasant Garden Elementary schools. The schools sandfilter sewer systems are in dire need of replacement. On September 9th, the Board of County Commissioners authorized engineering contracts to the following firms:. Project A Hunter's Ridge Area Jamestown Engineering Group, Inc. Project D Big Alamance Pump Station and Outfall Piedmont -Olsen Engineers, Inc. Project F Hickory Meadows, Coopers Farm, Forest Oaks Section 17 R S & H Engineers, .Inc. Should you live in one of the project areas, one of these design firms may be requesting permission to survey on your property. Design work for Willow Bend Subdivision Sections 1, 2, and 3 was contracted to Jamestown Engineering Group, Inc., by the County in 1988. The design is nearly complete except for the connection point at the proposed Big Alamance Outfall. Construction of the Willow Bend lines will be included with construction of Phase D. NOTE: Any suggestions/comments on future Southeast Newsletters would be greatly appreciated. Please. direct to Guilford County Environmental Services (919) 373-3390.

An office review of the above named project was performed by Kevin C. Martin, Certified Professional Soil Scientist, to determine its potential for.an on -site wastewater treatment system. The evaluation was made by an office review ofsoil types mapped by SCS across the county line in Guilford County and based on our experience. The purpose of the review is only to provide the design engineer with guidance on potential site selection that would warrant an on -site evaluation. According to the Guilford County Soil Survey the following soils are found in the vicinity of the park: Appling, Cecil, Chewacla, Enon, Mecklenburg, Vance and Wilkes. If these soils actually exist in the area, most can be utilized for subsurface and/or spray irrigation waste treatment systems if the required buffers from property lines, wells, streams, ponds, places of public assembly, residences, etc. are met. In general all soil types described above except the floodplain soil (Chewacla) can be utilized for spray irrigation as long as slopes do. not exceed 15% and topography is not complex. only the Cecil and Appling soil types are usually suitable for subsurface systems. Due to the presence of mixed mineralogy clays and or shallow depths to rock Enon, Mecklenburg, Vance and Wilkes soils are not useable for subsurface systems unless 24". or more of loamy or non -mixed clays overly the mixed clay subsoil. This 24" must also be free of any evidence of a soil wetness condition. Soil/Site Evaluation 1 Mapping and Physical Analysis ® Wetlands Mapping and Mitigation ilk Environmental Audits (fin -Site Waste Trpahnprtt Systems: F,vahtat-nn and Desien Lando Area Requirements (Exclusive of DEM Required Buffers with no consideration of mounding beneath system)* Assumptions: Permitted Flow - 27,000 gpd * Prior to a detailed system design or land acquisition a detailed on -site soils evaluation of any potential sites would be needed. Once you have located potential areas for us to examine please call. In the meantime this should serve as guidance in selecting potential sites. Acceptable Conventional Ground Absorption Loading Rate Appling and/or Cecil Soils: .2 to .4 gpd/sq.ft. Acceptable Low Pressure Pipe Ground Absorption Loading Rate: Appling and/or Cecil Soils .05 gpd/sq.ft. to .2 gP / g .ft. Acceptable Spray Irrigation Surface Application Loading Rate: (Appling, Cecil, Enon, Mecklenburg, Vance and Wilkes) .25"/wk. to .75"/wk. Conventional System Requirements: The linear feet of conventional trench needed for the permitted flow is 22,500' to 45,000. This would translate into a minimum system area of 4.6 to 9.3 acres for the system alone. An equal amount of repair area will be needed also. We havenoticed that an addal tolaccountforarea topographic normally needed on large systems irregularities (e.g. gullies, swales, diverging contour lines, etc.). Therefore, as much as 10.6 acres to 21.4 acres may be needed for system and repair areas to handle the permitted flow exclusive of buffers. Low Pressure Pipe (LPP) System Requirements: The linear feet of low pressure pipe laterals needed for the permitted flow is 27,000 to 108,000 feet. This translates into 3.0 to 12.4 acres for the system alone. An equal amount of repair area will be required also. We have observed that large LPP systems often require 25% more area than originally expected when installed in wooded sites. This is mainly due to topographic irregularities and "dodging" large trees which causes some laterals to be installed on spacings of greater than the 5' on center -design and thus translates into utilization of additional area so that the minimum linear feet of laterals can be installed. Because of this, as much as 7.5 to 31 acres may be required for system and repair areas to handle the permitted flow. Conventional and LPP systems must be located at least 50' from property lines. Spray Irrigation System Requirements: The area required for a spray irrigation system exclusive of buffers with a flow of 27,000 gpd on these type soils will be 9.25 to 24.8 acres. spray systems do not require an equivalent repair area. These systems also do not normally need the additional area required in large conventional and LPP systems discussed previously sincethe laterals feeding the sprinklers can be located in any pattern as long as the sprinklers themselves are properly located. However, spray systems must be located a minimum of 150' from property lines and 400' from any residence or place of public assembly off the property. Spray systems over 1,000 gpd also require a minimum 30 day holding lagoon. On these type soils the lagoon, based on a water balance, will likely be 45 to 90 days. The average loading rate will be 1/3" to 3/4" per week. (.027 to .067 gpd/ft2). I believe that the information in this report should be sufficient for a preliminary search for potential sites that pay be suitable for on -site waste water treatment alternatives for this project. I apologize for the broad, range in acreage requirements but, based on available information it is the closest we can come for now. however, based on my experience it is very unlikely that the low end of the range will be adequate. Somewhere in the middle of the range is more likely. If you have questions or would like for us to assist you pursuing one or more of these alternatives, please call. Sincerely, c Kevin C.

Connection to Regional Sewer System: Connection is being pursued by Oakwood and may be possible within three years. Subsurface: Not enough land without using developable property. Other disposal options: 5. Other Special Items: Associated creek conditions are not good and complaints have been investigated by the WSRO due to the water supply concerns. Recommend that the Water Supply Section also be allowed to comment on this discharge as well as the City of Randleman. An alternativ€analysis was submitted to the Division on October 12, 1993. This alternatives study should be reevaluated prior to Dec. 31,' � 1996 due to the enhanced potential for public sewer in the Pleasant Garden community and reported recent discussions between the City of Greensboro and Oakwood Land Development Corp (owners of the Woodlake MHP WWTP). Conditions in the creek may be somewhat due to low flows during summer months and backed up waters; however, the Region still believes that solids are likely to be escaping into the stream from time to time. PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The WSRO recommends that the permit be reissued with a stipulation that the sandfilters and ultraviolet disinfection be installed within two years of permit issuance or connect to the public sewer. The facility should also be required to connect to the POTW within 180 days of economically feasible availability regardless of any upgrades. This recommendation is based on Part II Section B.2. and Section B;13. of the existing NPDES Permit.
