To: NCDEQ - Division of Water Resources - Water Quality Permitting - Non -Discharge Permitting Unit Attn: Erick Saunders, Engineer CC: Town of Mount Olive, NC and Washington Regional Office - Water Quality Regional Operations Section From: J. Clark Maness, PE, WithersRavenel Date: 3/16/2023 Project: Mount Olive WWTP Improvements - Contracts I & II Subject: Response to Non -Discharge Major Modification Application Comments/Additional Information Request Received 2/14/2023 Erick, Please see our response to your comments/request for additional information for the project titled "Mount Olive WWTP Improvements - Contract I" and "Mount Olive WWTP Improvements - Contract II" Your original comments/requests are in black and our responses are in blue. 1. Comment/Request: "In Item V1.6. of the Reclaimed Water Non -Conjunctive System Application form (FORM: RWNC 06-16), it asks for the equipment information for the spray utilization design element. Please provide this tabulated information for each different spray nozzle that is provided in this application." a. Response: Please see the separately attached updated RWNC 06-16 with requested equipment information. There are three types of spray guns that were installed. Spray gun type 1 (SG Type 1) is a Nelson Big Gun F75, 0.4" Taper Ring Nozzle and would be used in the proposed reduced spray application rate fields (3R, 4R, 7R, and 9R). Spray gun type 2 (SG Type 2) is a Nelson Big Gun F100, 0.55" Taper Bore Nozzle and is used for the half circle spray guns in the non -reduced application rate fields. Spray gun type 3 (SG Type 3) is a Nelson Big Gun F100, 0.89" Ring Nozzle and is used for the full circle spray guns in the non -reduced application rate fields. 2. Comment/Request: "The information in Item VI.B. of the RWNC form was not filled out to describe the new field configuration as described in this application's plans. This information shall be provided for each field in this section." a. Response: Please see the separately attached updated RWNC 06-16 with requested information. 3. Comment/Request: "Item VIIIA. and 2. of the RWNC form states that the system will be used to irrigate food chain crops for human consumption and meet Type 2 reclaimed water standards for indirect contact irrigation. There are additional considerations for Type 2 reclaimed water facilities listed in 15A NCAC 02U .1400 that do not appear to be included in this application, and the cover crop listed in Item V1.9. of the RWNC form is Coastal Bermuda, indicating that this section may have been included by mistake. Please clarify whether this system will irrigate food chain crops as covered under 02U .1400." a. Response: Please see the separately attached updated and corrected RWNC 06-16. The system will not be used to irrigate food chain crops for human consumption. 4. Comment/Request: "In accordance with 15A NCAC 02U .0202(c), any new and expanding dedicated reclaimed water facilities with a design flow over 25,000 gallons per day (GPD) shall have 115 MacKenan Drive I Cary, NC 27511 t: 919.469.3340 1 f: 919.467.6008 1 www.withersravenel.com I License No. C-0832 Asheville I Cary I Greensboro I Pittsboro I Raleigh I Southern Pines I Wilmington %0 WithersRavenel NoOur People. Your Success. a hydrogeologic description of the surface prepared by a Licensed Geologist, Licensed Soil Scientist, or Professional Engineer which includes a mounding analysis to predict the level of the seasonal high-water table after reclaimed water application. As this application proposes a permitted flow rate increase from 560,893 GPD to 623,216 GPD, it would be considered an expanding dedicated reclaimed water facility. This proposed increase rate is based on the updated field areas and increasing the designed application rates to match the maximum soil scientist's recommendation. This proposal assumes that the hydraulic conductivity of the soil is the limiting factor for the disposal capacity of the facility. However, there is no analysis for how this flow increase would impact the groundwater flow regime at the site to verify that the groundwater mounding attributed to the operation of the facility does not violate the one -foot vertical separation between the season high water table and the ground surface as required by 15A NCAC 02U .0302(k). A hydrogeologic evaluation meeting the requirements of 15A NCAC 02U .0202(c) shall be submitted to verify that groundwater flow regime and mounding will not be a limiting factor if the permitted flow rate is increased from 560,893 GPD." a. Response: At this time, we are requesting additional time to complete the requested hydrogeological analysis and report for the irrigation fields. It was previously stated to the Town of Mount Olive on 1/20/2022 that this analysis would not be required for adding the reduced application rate areas to the irrigation fields (see attached meeting summary that was released to all parties on 1/20/2022 in Attachment A). A hydrogeological analysis and report will take at least three months for a hired subconsultant to complete. We are also requesting that the State Non -Discharge Branch allow the Town to irrigate at their current permitted flow rate of 560,893 GPD in the interim and to keep this major modification application open until a hydrogeological analysis and report can be completed. The Town needs to be able to irrigate in the immediate future to ensure the success of their planted coastal Bermuda hay crop and to stay in compliance with their current Non -Discharge Permit. The Town must do this to comply with the Special Order by Consent (SOC) agreement that the Town has entered into with the State Environmental Management Commission (EMC SOC WQ 520-0021). This SOC Agreement states the Town must be in compliance with Permit No. NC0020575 and Permit No. WQ0029169 by 5/31/2023. 5. Comment/Request: "See Items I.I. and 1.2. The water balance shall be performed using the acreages that only include the wetted areas of the specified sprayheads that are shown in the plans." a. Response: The water balance will be re -done and a new report will be re -issued following completion of the requested hydrogeological report. A new water balance report is not required to keep the same permitted flow rate of 560,893 gpd. Please see the updated Table 18 from the Water Balance report in Attachment B. 6. Comment/Request: "It is unclear how the "Total: Influent + Lagoon Gains & Losses" values were calculated in "Table 18. Water Balance for All Zones". It does not correspond to the monthly lagoon gains and losses added to the monthly design influent volume. Please clarify how these values were obtained." a. Response: The originally submitted report's Table 18 had a typographical error. Please see the updated Table 18 in Attachment B. 7. Comment/Request: "The modification seeks to increase the permitted flow of this permit to 623,216 GPD. However, Table 18 of the Water Balance indicates that the design daily influent flow is 600,435 GPD, with the remaining flow coming from inputs and outputs from the storage lagoon. Please note based on this, a permitted rate would only be increased to 600,435 GPD. A response to this item is not required." a. Response: No response required per the comment/request. 8. Comment/Request: "The Washington Regional Office noted in their site visit that the wetted areas of the installed spray heads did not overlap as they were indicated on the plan sheet for these fields. Currently configured, the sprayheads do not utilize the full extent of the field as depicted on the Page 2 of 4 %0 WithersRavenel lopOur People. Your Success. plans, and the reduced wetted area from these installed facilities reduces the disposal capacity of the system. The irrigation facilities shall be reevaluated to match the wetted area of the fields in the plans with their actual observed wetted area. This evaluation shall include a calibration of the system that tries to configure the actual observed wetted area with wetted areas in the current plans in order to maximize the disposal capacity. If what is observed does not match what is in the plans after this calibration, the plans shall be updated to depict the correct wetted acreage for each field, and the areas of each field shall be recalculated based on this change." a. Response: Since the Washington Regional Office visited the project site in late 2022, it has been found that there are multiple leaks in the irrigation system in every field due to errors made by the Contractor during installation. Additionally, the correct ring nozzles were not installed by the Contractor prior to their site visit. The leaks in the fields and the incorrect ring nozzles resulted in a loss of pressure throughout the fields and reduction in spray diffusion and spray diameter. Since this discovery, the Contractor has installed the correct ring nozzles on all the spray guns and is in the process of repairing all of the leaks within the fields. Since some of the leaks have been repaired and the correct ring nozzles have been installed, an improvement in spray diffusion and spray diameter has been observed and there is overlap between the wetted diameters of the spray guns. At this time, we are requesting that the Contractor be allowed complete all the needed repairs and for the Washington Regional Office to complete another site visit upon completion of all repairs. It is estimated that the Contractor will need 2 months from the date of this memorandum to complete the needed repairs. During the interim we are requesting that the Town of Mount Olive be allowed to spray at their current permitted flow rate on just the fields that are suitable for 61 inches/year (all fields except 3R, 4R, 7R, and 9R). Please see the updated Tables 4, 7, and 8 in Attachment B showing the anticipated flow rates and irrigation times for each field. 9. Comment/Request: "The acreages of the fields for the new subzones don't appear to correspond to the actual disposal areas irrigated by the new reduced sprayheads. For instance, on Sheet 2 of the plans, Field 3R is shown to only be dosed by a single SG Type 3 spray gun (a Nelson Big Gun 100 Series Ring Nozzle 0.89") while the listed/reported spray field area is 169,651 square feet (-3.9 acres). The Wetted Diameter of a full circle 0.89" 100 Ring Nozzle given in Table 2 of the Sprayfield Water Model Analysis provided in the application is around 270-290 feet when operated between 60 and 70 psi (65 psi is the calculated maximum pressure at this nozzle in Table 5). The wetted area of a 290 foot diameter circle is approximately 1.52 acres, which is a little more than half what is listed here. The 169,651 square foot area of Field 3R appears to come from to the Usable Area Calculation box shown on Attachment 2 of the November 15, 2022 "Land Application of Reclaimed Water - Soil Scientist Evaluation Report" performed by AWT. The Reduced Application Areas polygon shown on Sheet 2 of the plans seems to come from the field delineation on this Attachment 2, but not all the specified usable area is utilized and includes a sizable extent that would not receive any irrigation. This appears to also be the case of Field 4R, and to a lesser extent for Fields 7R and 9R. For the purposes of field delineations, water balance calculations, and design calculations, only the wetted area shall be included in this field sizing. The areas of each field shall be recalculated to correspond to the wetted acreage of the sprayheads, and the extent of each field shall be shown on an updated plan package." a. Response: Please reference the response to the previous comment/request above. Actual wetted areas for Fields 3R, 4R, 7R, and 9R will be measured in the field following completion of repairs by the Contractor in the fields and the completion of the requested hydrogeologic report. During the interim we are requesting that the Town of Mount Olive be allowed to spray at their current permitted flow rate on just the fields that are suitable for 61 inches/year (all fields except 3R, 4R, 7R, and 9R). Please see the updated Tables 4, 7, and 8 in Attachment B showing the anticipated flow rates and irrigation times for each field. 10. Comment/Request: "See Comments 1.1 and 1.2. The area of Field 3R on Table 3 of the Water Balance Calculation is 3.89 acres and the area on Table 4 of the Sprayfield Water Model Analysis is 172,788 Page 3 of 4 %0 WithersRavenel lopOur People. Your Success. square feet (3.97 acres). However, the wetted acreage is closer to 1.52 acres based on the spray diameters at the specified pressure. The application rates for all field shall be recalculated utilizing the wetted acreage of each fields to verify that there are not any violations of the instantaneous or annual hydraulic loading rates at the designed field run times." a. Response: Actual wetted areas for Fields 3R, 4R, 7R, and 9R will be calculated following completion of repairs by the Contractor in the fields and the completion of the requested hydrogeologic report. During the interim we are requesting that the Town of Mount Olive be allowed to spray at their current permitted flow rate on just the fields that are suitable for 61 inches/year (all fields except 3R, 4R, 7R, and 9R). Please see the updated Tables 4, 7, and 8 in Attachment B showing the anticipated flow rates, pressure ranges, and irrigation times for each field. 11. Comment/Request: "Condition 1.3. of the previous permit issued October 12, 2020 required that a Final Operation and Maintenance Plan be submitted for review. Condition 1.6. of this permit stated operation of these facilities were contingent on the completion of the required documentation listed in Conditions 1.3., 1.4., and 1.5. Conditions 1.4. and 1.5. have been received, but operation of this facility cannot be issued until documentation fulfilling Condition 1.3. has been received." a. Response: The automatic control system for the irrigation fields has not been delivered and installed at the project site yet due to supply chain shortages and delays for the required Allen-Bradley Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The automatic control system is expected to be delivered by 3/31/2023 and installed by the first week of April 2023 (currently the irrigation system has been operated manually thus far with an operator observing operation at the station and in the fields at all times). Due to the delay in the delivery of the automatic control system and the delivery of the final operation and maintenance manual from the supplier a Final Operation and Maintenance Plan cannot be completed. The Final Operation and Maintenance Plan will need to include the final written control narrative from the PLC programmer describing how the system will be run automatically and when in manual operation by WWTP staff. As such, we are requesting that the Town of Mount Olive be allowed to submit the Final Operation and Maintenance Plan to the Non -Discharge Branch following the delivery of the automatic control system operation and maintenance manual.

As you know, we are the engineer for the Town of Mount Olive for their on -going WWTP Improvements project. Contract I of II consists of converting their existing drip irrigation/tree crop reclaim water application fields to spray irrigation/coastal bermuda grass crop reclaim water application fields. Prior to this work the Town obtained the attached permit through the major modification application process. Some conditions under this permit are as follows: • Condition 1.4 - Upon completion of construction and prior to irrigation, a soil evaluation shall be completed to make sure that activities relating to the construction of the new irrigation field have not altered soil properties determined in the October 2003 and November 2004 soils reports. • Condition 1.5 - Upon completion of construction and prior to irrigation, a soil evaluation shall be completed for all areas previously classified as unsuitable within the permitted irrigation areas. The fields have been cleared and the contractor is getting closer to completing construction. Additionally, the third party soils scientist for the project has completed their soils mapping and has identified the areas within the Town's existing property that are suitable for the Town's currently permitted application rate of 61 inches/year. Please see the attached map, in which the areas that are shaded with color are suitable for 61 inches/year while the unshaded areas are not suitable for 61 inches/year. The soil scientist has indicated that the areas that are not suitable for 61 inches/year may be suitable for irrigation at lesser application rate (perhaps up to 15 — 20 inches/year) The Town of Mount Olive would like to know what the exact process would be to bring these "unshaded" areas into the permit to allow for irrigation of these areas at a lesser application rate while also irrigating the other suitable areas at 61 inches/year? Would a new permit/permit modification be required with a soil scientists report backing up an acceptable application rate for these areas? Would a new hydrogeologic study of the entire site be required? When you are able please let us know the Non -Discharge Branch's thoughts. Please also let me know if you have any questions.
