This discharge is located on the Neuse River mainstem. An analysis on the river indicated that more stringent
controls on BOD loading are needed. Therefore, an engineering report evaluating the cost feasibility of meeting
advanced tertiary limits (i.e., 5 mg/I BOD5 and 2 mg/1 NH3-N) is due on April 1, 1997. If the facility cannot
technologically meet these limits, the engineering report should include an evalutaion of alternatives to discharge.
The facility is operating well under the permitted flow of 0.5 MGD. An ATC was issued in 1985 for a total
capacity of 0.125 MGD. The facility has built to 0.125 MGD. The permit will be reissued with at a wasteflow of
0.125 MGD at existing limits. At any wasteflow greater than 0.125 MGD, the effluent limits will be BOD5=5
mg/I and NH3-N = 2 mg/l.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This facility consists of a 0.125 MGD extended aeration package plant which serves a
subdivision centering around the Carolina Pines Golf Course. The plant is currently operated
by Richard Belangia of Tar Heel Water and Wastewater Company. Land and Lab
Technology, Bridgeton, NC, performs necessary laboratory analyses.
It is the recommendation of the Washington Regional Office that a NPDES Permit be
reissued to Carolina Pines Utility Company. This issuance should coincide with the basin -
wide permitting cycle for the Neuse River Basin.
