Additional flow may be allowed under an SOC only in specific circumstances. These
p
circumstances may include eliminating discharges that are not compliant with an NPDES or
Non-discharge permit. These circumstances do not include failure to perform proper
maintenance of treatment systems, collection systems or disposal systems. When requesting
additional flow, the facility must include its justification and supporting documentation.
If the requested additional flow is non-domestic, the facility must be able to demonstrate the
ability to effectively treat the waste and dispose of residuals. The applicant must provide a
detailed analysis of the constituents in the proposed non-domestic wastewater.

The total domestic additional flow requested: N/A gallons per day.
The total non-domestic additional flow requested: N/A gallons per day.
The total additional flow(sum of the above): N/A gallons per day.
Please attach a detailed description or project listing of the proposed allocation for additional
flow, with an explanation of how flow quantities were estimated. Further, any additional flow
requested must be justified by a complete analysis, by the permittee, that additional flow will not
adversely impact wastewater collection/treatment facilities or surface waters.
IV. NECESSITY NARRATIVE:
Please attach a narrative providing a detailed explanation of the circumstances regarding the
necessity of the proposed SOC. Include the following issues:
• Existing and/or unavoidable future violations(s) of permit conditions or limits(s),
• The existing treatment process and any process modifications that have been made to

already taken to bring the pretreatment facilities back into compliance. If any industrial
facilities are currently under consent agreements, please attach these agreements,
• Date and outcome of last Industrial Waste Survey,
• Whether or not the facility is acting as a regional facility receiving wastewater from other
municipalities having independent pretreatment programs.
V. CERTIFICATION:
The applicant must submit a report prepared by an independent professional with expertise in
wastewater treatment. This report must address the following:
• An evaluation of existing treatment units, operational procedures and recommendations
as to how the efficiencies of these facilities can be maximized. The person in charge of
such evaluation must sign this document.
• A certification that these facilities could not be operated in a manner that would achieve
compliance with final permit limits. The person making such determination must sign
this certification.
• The effluent limits that the facility could be expected to meet if operated at their
maximum efficiency during the term of the requested SOC (be sure to consider interim
construction phases).
• Any other actions taken to correct problems prior to requesting the SOC.
2

VI. PREDICTED COMPLIANCE SCHEDULE:
The applicant must submit a detailed listing of activities along with time frames that are
necessary to bring the facility into compliance. This schedule should include milestone dates for
beginning construction, ending construction, and achieving final compliance at a minimum. In
determining the milestone dates, the following should be considered:

review and approval.
• Occurrence of major construction activities that are likely to affect facility performance
(units out of service, diversion of flows, etc.) to include a plan of action to minimize
impacts to surface waters.
• Infiltration/Inflow work, if necessary.
• Industrial users achieving compliance with their pretreatment permits if applicable.
• Toxicity Reduction Evaluations (TRE), if necessary.

Response to Para. IV of the Pace Mobile Home Park SOC Application:
Necessity Narrative.
The current system serving Pace Mobile Home Park, while under repair, is in a severely
deteriorated condition due to neglect under prior ownership. The Jones Estates Pace LL
C LC has
made significant improvements and investment in the system, as shown in the attached
Hydrologic Report dated October 4, 2022 from John W. Harris, P.E. (the "Engineer Report").
Despite these improvements, the system continues to violate requirements for BOD5, and
nitrogen/ammonia, as indicated on page 8 of the Engineer Report. Continued investment and
improvements are scheduled as shown on Page 13 of the Engineer Report. Violation of BOD5,
nitrogen/ammonia and possibly oxygen are likely to continue until such time as all scheduled
improvements are completed, around May of 2023.
Collection system improvements are not required and not planned. The system does not treat
waste from industrial users.
Response to Para V of the Pace Mobile Home Park SOC Application:
Certification.
Please see Engineer Report.
Response to Para VI of the Pace Mobile Home Park SOC Application:
Predicted Compliance Schedule.
Please see Engineer Report.
Response to Para VII of the Pace Mobile Home Park SOC Application:
Funding Sources Identification.
Detailed below are the remaining financial obligations connected with the completion of the
sanitary system upgrade work at Pace Mobile Home Park.
• Engineering Fees: $8,600
• Construction Labor: $44,500
• Materials (PVC, Electrical Wire, etc): $15,000
• Total: $68,100
Since acquiring Pace Mobile Home Park, Jones Estates Pace LLC has invested over
$150,000 in improvements to the sanitary system to correct prior ownership negligence and
significant deferred capital expenditure. In total, Jones Estates Pace LLC will have invested over
$200,000 to bring the community's sanitary system into compliance once complete.
5

The remaining funds needed ($68,100) to complete the sanitary system upgrade work
have been set aside and have been sourced from ongoing lot rent collection activities over the
past year. They will not need to be sourced via financing, grant, loan or bond activities. The cash
reserves are available now and ready to be deployed.

PROJECT NARRATIVE:
The Pace WWTP is a small 15,000-gpd(0.015mgd) Wastewater treatment facility serving a
mobile home park located at 15026 Buffalo Road, Clayton,NC. The treatment facility, as part of the
MHP was recently purchased by the current owner and a revised Permit to the new owners was issued
on February 23, 2021, See Attachement-1. This treatment facility is an older system, and it appears it
has not been effectively maintained by the previous owners. The new owners have not owned this
facility more than a couple of years and have been actively working to repair and improve the facilities
and equipment.

EVALUATION OF EXISTING TREAMENT SYSTEM
Representatives from Harris Engineers have inspected the site on numerous occasions in January,
March, and July of 2022. We note that the system is a dual train activated sludge "package plant"process.
These types of systems were common in the 1980's and early 1990's. Our experience with these"package"
systems has indicated they can be very efficient for normal domestic sewage.
The existing treatment facility is shown in the photos below.

While the system is currently only operational on 1-train, The owners have taken steps and have refurbished the
Train-2 tanks, installed new electrical panels, and purchased new equipment(blowers, pumps, etc.) This
equipment is currently"on-site"and awaiting installation.

We have tabulated test results from the 5 previous weeks to allow us to see how this system, in its current state,
is doing. We can see from the table that the BODS is only slightly out of line and does from time to time have
below required. The Total Suspended Solids (TSS)are well within the requirements, as are the fecal coliform.
The only reported constituent that is above the required limits is ammonia nitrogen. We feel that this is
correctable in the near future and well within the treatment abilities when the facility is repaired.
