This memo summarizes the level B model. Flow Statistics for Townhouse Branch were provided by the USGS as follows: S7Q10 = 0.29 cfs W7Q10 = 0.33 cfs 30Q2 = 0.50 cfs Q average =1.9 cfs Model Setup: The proposed location of the discharge is approximately 0.7 miles from the confluence with the Nantahala River at latitude 35' 20' 11" and longitude 83' 35' 42". Only one segment was modeled, from the discharge point to the Nantahala River. The length of the segment was 0.7 miles. The calculated slope was 741 ft/mi. Wastewater was assumed to be treated to secondary standards (BOD = 30 mg/1). The allowable ammonia concentration is 13 mg/1 as calculated based on dilution. The model was run only for the summer season as the discharge will only take place June thru August. Model Results: The level B model predicted a minimum dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration of 7.25 mg/1 and an end DO of 8.44 mg/1. DO in the stream will be protected with limits of 30 mg/1 for BOD and 13 mg/l for ammonia.

This camp will be developed over a 10 year period with construction expected to start in the summer of 2014. A copy of the site Master Development Plan is attached to this report (Map "C"). The water supply for this camp will be from a new community (public) water system approved by the State of North Carolina. Well(s) have been drilled in 2012 with a substantial safe groundwater supply yield to allow the development of the summer camp as proposed. The wastewater generated from this development will be collected and treated prior to discharge into Townhouse Branch which is a tributary to the Nantahala River. The Applicant: YMCA of Western North Carolina 53 Ashland Avenue, Suite 105 Asheville, North Carolina 28801 Paul Vest, DEO 828-251-5905 Pvest a,Vmcawnc.or� Facility name: Camp Watia WWTP 5030 Watia Creek Road Bryson City, North Carolina 28713 EAA Preparers William G. Lapsley, PE William G. Lapsley & Associates, PA 214 North King Street Hendersonville, North Carolina 28792 wlapsley@wgla.com Wastewater Discharge: The proposed treated wastewater will be discharged to Townhouse Branch which is a tributary to the Nantahala River arm of Fontana Lake in the Little River Tennessee River Basin. This surface water stream is identified as Index 2-58 with a classification "C" from the NCDENR. A map of the proposed discharge point and drainage basin is attached to this report as Map"D". Stream Capacity: The applicant submitted a formal request to the USGS in Raleigh for a stream capacity determination. A copy.of their report (Exhibit # 1) indicates that the annual 30Q2 yield is 0.50 cfs and the annual 7Q10 yield is 0.29 cfs. The upstream drainage area is approximately 0.75 sq miles (480 acres) of undeveloped forest land (see Map "D"). Local Government Review: The proposed camp site is located entirely within the boundary of Swain County, North Carolina. A copy of the proposed Cainp Watia Site Development Master Plan has been submitted to the Swain County government for review. Attached is a copy of the Local Government Review Form (Exhibit # 2) which acknowledges their jurisdiction over the proposed project. Wastewater Flow Projections: The YMCA of western North Carolina has prepared the following estimated wastewater flow calculations: Wastewater Design Year Campers Staff Total Flow Flow 1 72 21 93 5580 GPD 8000 GPD 2 96 27 123 7380 GPD 8000 GPD 3 96 27 123 7380 GPD 8000 GPD 4 96 27 123 7380 GPD 8000 GPD 5 96 27 123 7380 GPD 8000 GPD 6 96 27 123 7380 GPD 8000 GPD 7 96 27 123 7380 GPD 8000 GPD 8 96 27 123 7380 GPD 8000 GPD 9 108 30 138 8280 GPD 12000 GPD 10 120 33 153 9180 GPD 12000 GPD r This assumes that all campers and staff will discharge 60 gpd per person to the treatment facility Wastewater Treatment Alternatives: The applicant understands that it is the goal of North Carolina to minimize or eliminate point source discharges to surface waters. The following wastewater disposal alternatives have been investigated and evaluated for this project: Alternative A - Existing Wastewater Treatment Facilities: The existing wastewater discharge facilities located within 5 miles of the proposed discharge point have been identified from State records. There is only one(1) facility with this area (see Map" D"). The facility is the Nantahala Outdoor Center WWTP located on the Nantahala River. It is approximately 1 mile from the project site. This facility has an existing facility designed to treat 40,000 GPD. The facility operates under NPDES Permit # NC 0057193. The applicant has reviewed the proposed project with the owner of the Nantahala Outdoor Center for the past 12 months. The negotiations for purchase of some of the reserve treatment capacity of this facility have not been successful. The owner wishes to reserve its capacity for future development of their property. Alternative B — Land Application The proposed camp site is located in very steep topography typical of Swain County. The steep slopes, natural streams and wetland areas all limit the land available for any type of land application disposal system. The attached map shows these features in the area near the proposed camp site. It appears that there may be four (4) areas that could potentially serve as land application areas. An investigation of the existing soil types and characteristics have been made using the USDA National Cooperative Soil Survey website. A report on each of the sites for land application by irrigation (site"A") or rapid infiltration from a drain field (site"B") was downloaded and printed in attached Exhibit # 3. It is clear from these reports that the soil types in all four (4) of the areas is unsuitable for either type of land application. The anticipated flow at full development has been stated to be 12,000 gpd. Based upon even the best soil loading rate for these conditions of 0.2 gpd / SF it appears that a total land area of approximately 6.1 acres would be needed for a standard drain field. The largest single area available for a drain field is site 1 (2.75 acres) and the total area of, all four (4) sites is 5.25 acres. It is clear that even if all of these sites could be permitted the area is far below that required to develop either type of land application. There is an option to the standard drainfield system — drip irrigation. This would be more feasible in these mountain conditions with variable soils. This option is used in the detailed cost analysis. Alternative C — Wastewater Reuse The alternative reuse of the treated wastewater for bathroom toilets will require a split system. All of the wastewater will be treated with a standard septic system.. The effluent . will be collected and a portion will be directed to the restroom facilities and the balance will be directed to a drip irrigation system. Alternative D — Direct Discharge The applicant has requested that a direct discharge of 12,000 GPD be authorized for this proposed facility. The estimated stream flow data from USGS — Raleigh are positive which should be enough to allow for the proposed discharge. A report of the anticipated stream flow is attached as Exhibit "1". Also attached is a map (" D") which shows the proposed WWTP discharge point and a layout of the proposed wastewater, treatment facility (Map "F"). The applicant has entered into an agreement with the current landowner to allow for the development of the Camp Watia and this proposed wastewater treatment facility. The applicant understands that the facility must provide a standby power source to assure operational reliability.

Lapsley, PE William G. Lapsley & Associates,PA 214 North King Street Hendersonville, North Carolina 28792 Mr. Lapsley, In response to your request (via email dated December 19, 2013) for a formal determination of the low -flow characteristics on Townhouse Branch at Wesser in Swain County, the following information is provided: A check of the low -flow files here at the USGS North Carolina Water Science Center does not indicate a previous low -flow determination for your specific point of interest on Townhouse Branch as shown on the map attached to your email dated December 17, 2013. No USGS discharge records are likewise known to exist for your point of interest. In the absence of site -specific discharge records sufficient for a low -flow analysis, estimates of low -flow characteristics at ungaged locations are determined by assessing a range in the low -flow yields (expressed as flow per square mile drainage area, of cfsm) at nearby sites where such estimates have previously been determined. A drainage -area delineation completed using the online NC StreamStats application (http://water.usgs.gov/osw/streamstats/north carolina.html) indicates the drainage area for your point of interest is 0.75 sgmi. Previously published low -flow information for streams in your area of interest For streams in Swain County, the most recently published low -flow information is a statewide report completed in the early 1990's. It is USGS Water -Supply Paper 2403, 'Low -flow characteristics of streams in North Carolina" (Giese and Mason, 1993). An online version of the report is available at http://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/2403/report.pdf. The report provides the low -flow characteristics (based on data through 1988) via regional relations and at -site values for sites with drainage basins between 1 and 400 sgmi and not considered or known to be affected by regulation and/or diversions. Please note the low -flow characteristics in the statewide report are based on data ending during the late 1980's and do not reflect the occurrence of recent droughts, which have resulted in decreased low -flow statistics at some USGS streamgaging stations across North Carolina. Sta. 03506010 Townhouse Branch at Wesser, NC Location: Approximately 0.7 miles upstream from mouth, and approximately 0.8 mile north-northwest of Wesser Lat/long ==> 035d 20m 40.37s // 083d 35m 43.44s (referenced to NAD83) County: Swain County Drainage area = 0.75 sqmi HUC: 06010202 Map: Wesser [F-4-SE] Tributary to: Nantahala River Based on seven (7) nearby selected USGS partial -record sites in general vicinity of Townhouse Branch, a range of potential low -flow yields were assessed for the 7Q10, 30Q2, winter 7Q10 (W7Q10), and 7Q2 low -flow discharges. The average for each yield range was determined, and when applied to the drainage area for your point of interest (0.75 sgmi), the estimated flows based on these yields were determined. The range and average low -flow yields along with corresponding estimated flows are provided in the table below. Range in low -flow yield low -flow (cfsm) Annual 7Q10 0.16 to 0.55 Annual 30Q2 0.44 to 1.0 Winter 7Q10 0.20 to 0.65 Annual 7Q2 0.32 to 0.80 Average Range in Average low -flow yield estimated low -flow estimated (cfsm) (cfs) (cfs) 0.38 0.12 to 0.41 0.29 0.66 0.33 to 0.75 0.50 0.44 0.15 to 0.49 0.33 0.55 0.24 to 0.60 0.41 The mean annual runoff (Plate 2, Giese and Mason, 1993) determined for streams in vicinity of the Townhouse Branch basin is estimated to be 2.5 cfsm, resulting in an average annual discharge estimated at approximately 1.9 cfs. Please note the estimated flow estimates reflect "natural -flow" characteristics with no diversions or regulation known to occur upstream of the request site. Notes: (1) As noted above, please be aware the low -flow characteristics in the above -referenced report are based on data ending during the late 1980's that do not reflect the occurrence of recent droughts, which have resulted in decreased low -flow statistics at some USGS streamgaging stations. The USGS North Carolina Water Science Center is currently conducting an update of low -flow statistics at continuous -record streamgages to account for the recent droughts where records are available. At a nearby USGS continuous -record streamgage on Nantahala River near Rainbow Springs in Macon County (station id 03504000, drainage area 51.9 sgmi), the 7Q10 discharge decreased about 6 percent between the 1998 and 2011 climatic years. (2) The climatic year is the standard annual period used for low -flow analyses at continuous -record streamgages and runs from April 1 through March 31, designated by the year in which the period begins. For example, the 2011 climatic year is from April 1, 2011, through March 31, 2012. (3) Estimated flows are provided in units of cubic feet per second (cfs). (4) The information provided in this message is based on a preliminary assessment and considered provisional, subject to revision pending further analyses. Invoice information: A charge of $250.00 for accessing and processing information has been assessed to partially offset these costs. An invoice covering the processing costs for these data will be sent via regular mail from the U.S. Geological Survey to the billing address shown below. Instructions for sending your payment will be shown on the invoice. William G. Lapsley, PE William G.

November 16, 2013 Mr. Kevin King Swain County Manager Post Office Box 2321 Bryson City, North Carolina 28713 RE: Camp Watia YMCA of Western North Carolina Dear Mr. King: The YMCA of Western North Carolina is in the final planning stage of the development of a summer camp for young people to be located on a large tract of land on Watia Creek Road. Attached is a plan showing the camp layout and proposed site improvements. In conjunction with the development of this camp it will be necessary to construct a central wastewater collection and treatment system. The wastewater will be treated in accordance with Federal/State regulations and system design standards. The first step in this process is to obtain an NPDES Discharge Permit. Enclosed please find a Local Government Review Form which we must submit along with our application for the permit. Please fill in the appropriate information, sign and notarize the form and return it to our office at your earliest convenience.

Municipal wastewater is the waste stream from a municipality. It contains domestic waste and may contain industrial waste. It may have received primary or secondary treatment. It is rarely untreated sewage. Food - processing wastewater results from the preparation of fruits, vegetables, milk, cheese, and meats for public consumption. In places it is high in content of sodium and chloride. The effluent in lagoons and storage ponds is from facilities used to treat or store food -processing wastewater or domestic or animal waste. Domestic and food -processing wastewater is very dilute, and the effluent from the facilities that treat or store it commonly is very low in content of carbonaceous and nitrogenous material; the content of nitrogen commonly ranges from 10 to 30 milligrams per liter. The wastewater from animal waste treatment lagoons or storage ponds, however, has much higher concentrations of these materials, mainly because the manure has not been diluted as much as the domestic waste. The content of nitrogen in this wastewater generally ranges from 50 to 2,000 milligrams per liter. When wastewater is applied, checks should be made to ensure that nitrogen, heavy metals, and salts are not added in excessive amounts. Disposal of wastewater by irrigation not only disposes of municipal wastewater and wastewater from food -processing plants, lagoons, and storage ponds but also can improve crop production by increasing the amount of water available to crops. The ratings are based on the soil properties that affect the design, construction, management, and performance of the irrigation system. The properties that affect design and management include the sodium adsorption ratio, depth to a water table, ponding, available water capacity, saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), slope, and flooding. The properties that affect construction include stones, cobbles, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, depth to a water table, and ponding. The properties that affect performance include depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, bulk density, the sodium adsorption ratio, salinity, reaction, and the cation - exchange capacity, which is used to estimate the capacity of a soil to adsorb heavy metals. Permanently frozen soils are not suitable for disposal of wastewater by irrigation. The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect agricultural waste management. "Not limited" indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be expected. "Somewhat limited" indicates that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and moderate maintenance can be expected. "Very limited" indicates that the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can be expected. Numerical ratings indicate the severity of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations Camp watia - Site 1 USDA Natural Resources Web Soil Survey 1/ 1 //LU 14 "-- Conservation Service National Cooperative Soil Survey Page 8 of 9 Disposal of Wastewater by Irrigation —Swain County Area, North Carolina between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the use (1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00).

The wastewater may eventually reach the ground water. The application rate commonly exceeds the rate needed for irrigation of cropland. Vegetation is not a necessary part of the treatment; thus, the basins may or may not be vegetated. The thickness of the soil material needed for proper treatment of the wastewater is more than 72 inches. As a result, geologic and hydrologic investigation is needed to ensure proper design and performance and to determine the risk of ground -water pollution. Soil properties are important considerations in areas where soils are used as sites for the treatment and disposal of organic waste and wastewater. Selection of soils with properties that favor waste management can help to prevent environmental damage. Municipal wastewater is the waste stream from a municipality. It contains domestic waste and may contain industrial waste. It may have received primary or secondary treatment. It is rarely untreated sewage. Food -processing wastewater results from the preparation of fruits, vegetables, milk, cheese, and meats for public consumption. In places it is high in content of sodium and chloride.

The wastewater may eventually reach the ground water. The application rate commonly exceeds the rate needed for irrigation of cropland. Vegetation is not a necessary part of the treatment; thus, the basins may or may not be vegetated. The thickness of the soil material needed for proper treatment of the wastewater is more than 72 inches. As a result, geologic and hydrologic investigation is needed to ensure proper design and performance and to determine the risk of ground -water pollution. Soil properties are important considerations in areas where soils are used as sites for the treatment and disposal of organic waste and wastewater. Selection of soils with properties that favor waste management can help to prevent environmental damage. Municipal wastewater is the waste stream from a municipality. It contains domestic waste and may contain industrial waste. It may have received primary or secondary treatment. It is rarely untreated sewage. Food -processing wastewater results from the preparation of fruits, vegetables, milk, cheese, and meats for public consumption. In places it is high in content of sodium and chloride. The effluent in lagoons and storage ponds is from facilities used to treat or store food -processing wastewater or domestic or animal waste. Domestic and food -processing wastewater is very dilute, and the effluent from the facilities that treat or store it commonly is very low in content of carbonaceous and nitrogenous material; the content of nitrogen commonly ranges from 10 to 30 milligrams per liter. The wastewater from animal waste treatment lagoons or storage ponds, however, has much higher concentrations of these materials, mainly because the manure has not been diluted as much as the domestic waste. The content of nitrogen in this wastewater generally ranges from 50 to 2,000 milligrams per liter. When wastewater is applied, checks should be made to ensure that nitrogen, heavy metals, and salts are not added in excessive amounts. The ratings are based on the soil properties that affect the risk of pollution and the design, construction, and performance of the system. Depth to a water table, ponding, flooding, and depth to bedrock or a cemented pan affect the risk of pollution and the design and construction of the system. Slope, stones, and cobbles also affect design and construction. Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) and reaction affect performance. Permanently frozen soils are unsuitable for waste treatment. The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect agricultural waste management. "Not limited" indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be expected. "Somewhat limited" indicates that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and moderate maintenance can be expected. "Very limited" indicates that the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use.

When wastewater is applied, checks should be made to ensure that nitrogen, heavy metals, and salts are not added in excessive amounts. Disposal of wastewater by irrigation not only disposes of municipal wastewater and wastewater from food -processing plants, lagoons, and storage ponds but also can improve crop production by increasing the amount of water available to crops. The ratings are based on the soil properties that affect the design, construction, management, and performance of the irrigation system. The properties that affect design and management include the sodium adsorption ratio, depth to a water table, ponding, available water capacity, saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), slope, and flooding. The properties that affect construction include stones, cobbles, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, depth to a water table, and ponding. The properties that affect performance include depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, bulk density, the sodium adsorption ratio, salinity, reaction, and the cation - exchange capacity, which is used to estimate the capacity of a soil to adsorb heavy metals. Permanently frozen soils are not suitable for disposal of wastewater by irrigation. The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect agricultural waste management. "Not limited" indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be expected.

The wastewater may eventually reach the ground water. The application rate commonly exceeds the rate needed for irrigation of cropland. Vegetation is not a necessary part of the treatment; thus, the basins may or may not be vegetated. The thickness of the soil material needed for proper treatment of the wastewater is more than 72 inches. As a result, geologic and hydrologic investigation is needed to ensure proper design and performance and to determine the risk of ground -water pollution. Soil properties are important considerations in areas where soils are used as sites for the treatment and disposal of organic waste and wastewater. Selection of soils with properties that favor waste management can help to prevent environmental damage. Municipal wastewater is the waste stream from a municipality. It contains domestic waste and may contain industrial waste. It may have received primary or secondary treatment. It is rarely untreated sewage. Food -processing wastewater results from the preparation of fruits, vegetables, milk, cheese, and meats for public consumption. In places it is high in content of sodium and chloride. The effluent in lagoons and storage ponds is from facilities used to treat or store food -processing wastewater or domestic or animal waste. Domestic and food -processing wastewater is very dilute, and the effluent from the facilities that treat or store it commonly is very low in content of carbonaceous and nitrogenous material; the content of nitrogen commonly ranges from 10 to 30 milligrams per liter. The wastewater from animal waste treatment lagoons or storage ponds, however, has much higher concentrations of these materials, mainly because the manure has not been diluted as much as the domestic waste. The content of nitrogen in this wastewater generally ranges from 50 to 2,000 milligrams per liter. When wastewater is applied, checks should be made to ensure that nitrogen, heavy metals, and salts are not added in excessive amounts. The ratings are based on the soil properties that affect the risk of pollution and the design, construction, and performance of the system. Depth to a water table, ponding, flooding, and depth to bedrock or a cemented pan affect the risk of pollution and the design and construction of the system. Slope, stones, and cobbles also affect design and construction. Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) and reaction affect performance. Permanently frozen soils are unsuitable for waste treatment. The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect agricultural waste management. "Not limited" indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be expected. "Somewhat limited" indicates that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and moderate maintenance can be expected. "Very limited" indicates that the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or Camp Watia - Site 3 USDA Natural Resources Web Soil Survey 1/17/2014 Q Conservation Service National Cooperative Soil Survey Page 8 of 9 • Disposal of Wastewater by Rapid Infiltration —Swain County Area, North Carolina expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can be expected. Numerical ratings indicate the severity of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the use (1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00). The map unit components listed for each map unit in the accompanying Summary by Map Unit table in Web Soil Survey or the Aggregation Report in Soil Data Viewer are determined by the aggregation method chosen. An aggregated rating class is shown for each map unit. The components listed for each map unit are only those that have the same rating class as listed for the map unit. The percent composition of each component in a particular map unit is presented to help the user better understand the percentage of each map unit that has the rating presented. Other components with different ratings may be present in each map unit. The ratings for all components, regardless of the map unit aggregated rating, can be viewed by generating the equivalent report from the Soil Reports tab in Web Soil Survey or from the Soil Data Mart site. Onsite investigation may be needed to validate these interpretations and to confirm the identity of the soil on a given site.

When wastewater is applied, checks should be made to ensure that nitrogen, heavy metals, and salts are not added in excessive amounts. Disposal of wastewater by irrigation not only disposes of municipal wastewater and wastewater from food -processing plants, lagoons, and storage ponds but also can improve crop production by increasing the amount of water available to crops. The ratings are based on the soil properties that affect the design, construction, management, and performance of the irrigation system. The properties that affect design and management include the sodium adsorption ratio, depth to a water table, ponding, available water capacity, saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), slope, and flooding. The properties that affect construction include stones, cobbles, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, depth to a water table, and ponding. The properties that affect performance include depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, bulk density, the sodium adsorption ratio, salinity, reaction, and the cation - exchange capacity, which is used to estimate the capacity of a soil to adsorb heavy metals. Permanently frozen soils are not suitable for disposal of wastewater by irrigation. The ratings are both verbal and numerical.

The wastewater may eventually reach the ground water. The application rate commonly exceeds the rate needed for irrigation of cropland. Vegetation is not a necessary part of the treatment; thus, the basins may or may not be vegetated. The thickness of the soil material needed for proper treatment of the wastewater is more than 72 inches. As a result, geologic and hydrologic investigation is needed to ensure proper design and performance and to determine the risk of ground -water pollution. Soil properties are important considerations in areas where soils are used as sites for the treatment and disposal of organic waste and wastewater. Selection of soils with properties that favor waste management can help to prevent environmental damage. Municipal wastewater is the waste stream from a municipality. It contains domestic waste and may contain industrial waste. It may have received primary or secondary treatment. It is rarely untreated sewage. Food -processing wastewater results from the preparation of fruits, vegetables, milk, cheese, and meats for public consumption. In places it is high in content of sodium and chloride. The effluent in lagoons and storage ponds is from facilities used to treat or store food -processing wastewater or domestic or animal waste. Domestic and food -processing wastewater is very dilute, and the effluent from the facilities that treat or store it commonly is very low in content of carbonaceous and nitrogenous material; the content of nitrogen commonly ranges from 10 to 30 milligrams per liter. The wastewater from animal waste treatment lagoons or storage ponds, however, has much higher concentrations of these materials, mainly because the manure has not been diluted as much as the domestic waste. The content of nitrogen in this wastewater generally ranges from 50 to 2,000 milligrams per liter. When wastewater is applied, checks should be made to ensure that nitrogen, heavy metals, and salts are not added in excessive amounts. The ratings are based on the soil properties that affect the risk of pollution and the design, construction, and performance of the system. Depth to a water table, ponding, flooding, and depth to bedrock or a cemented pan affect the risk of pollution and the design and construction of the system. Slope, stones, and cobbles also affect design and construction. Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) and reaction affect performance. Permanently frozen soils are unsuitable for waste treatment. The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect agricultural waste management. "Not limited" indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be expected. "Somewhat limited" indicates that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and moderate maintenance can be expected. "Very limited" indicates that the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or Camp Watia - Site 4 usDA Natural Resources Web Soil Survey 1/17/2014 2" Conservation Service National Cooperative Soil Survey Page 8 of 9 • Disposal of Wastewater by Rapid Infiltration —Swain County Area, North Carolina expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can be expected. Numerical ratings indicate the severity of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the use (1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00). The map unit components listed for each map unit in the accompanying Summary by Map Unit table in Web Soil Survey or the Aggregation Report in Soil Data Viewer are determined by the aggregation method chosen. An aggregated rating class is shown for each map unit. The components listed for each map unit are only those that have the same rating class as listed for the map unit. The percent composition of each component in a particular map unit is presented to help the user better understand the percentage of each map unit that has the rating presented. Other components with different ratings may be present in each map unit. The ratings for all components, regardless of the map unit aggregated rating, can be viewed by generating the equivalent report from the Soil Reports tab in Web Soil Survey or from the Soil Data Mart site. Onsite investigation may be needed to validate these interpretations and to confirm the identity of the soil on a given site.

The NPDES permit provided a limitation page for 0.012 MGD but the A to C application was for a phase I initial plant operation/design of 0.006 MGD. To proceed with the A to C permit, a 0.006 MGD limitation page was required in the NPDES permit. After discussions with the permittee, it was agreed a minor NPDES permit modification would be issued adding the intermediate 0.006 MGD limitation page with identical limits and monitoring requirements, except for the flow limit, as stated for the 0.012 MGD limitation page. Because of the addition of the 0.006 MGD flow page, to expand to 0.012 MGD will require the permittee to obtain an A to C permit and submit a signed Engineer's Certificate for the expansion. Various technical corrections to narratives and formatting were made whefe required. NAME: DATE: �-l //.
