ADDITIONAL REGIONAL STAFF REVIEW ITEMS See attached site visit summary, site maps, and additional information. FORM: WQROSSR 04-14 Page 2 of 2 5/30/2023 Site Visit Summary On May 30, 2023, Division of Water Resources staff Caitlin Caudle and Division of Soil and Water Resources staff Patrick Mitchell completed a soils review of the proposed spray irrigation fields. CLC1 (35.864491,-80.394880) 0-1" A Sandy loam, 10YR 2/2, granular, organic matter present 1-3" E Sandy loam, 10YR 5/8, subangular blocky, almost sandy clay loam 3-15" Bt Clay loam, 2.5YR 4/8, subangular blocky, clay increase 15-38+ BC Clay loam, 2.5YR 4/8, saprolite inclusions of yellow/brown colors, massive, mica increase CLC2 (35.864360,-80.394148) 0-5" A and E Sandy loam, granular 5-12" Bt Clay loam, few saprolite inclusions CLC3 (35.864639,-80.393401) 0-6" 1 Samy loam, may have lumped A and E 6-12+" Saprolite inclusions increase with depth CLC4 35.865882,-80.395953) 0-5" A Sandy loam, granular 5-16+' BT More clay content in Bt, coarser CLCS (35.86.5753,-80.398103) 0-16" Bt Higher clay content than other borings 16+" BC/C Saprolite inclusions increase with depth, high clay content Based on field observations and additional borings, Staff agree that the predominant soil series is Pacolet, with slopes ranging from 5-20%. Clarification of loading rates will be needed before an accurate assessment of the irrigation design can be made. Items of Concern: Cover Letter No cover letter was included in the application package. Geologist Information 111.3 lists the geologist and the information is incorrect. Eric Lapalla and Eagle Resources provided the hydrogeological report. Public monies (pg 13) Item IV.3 is answered yes and no. This needs to be clarified or the additional information provided. Flow calculation (pg 13, IV.7) Flow needs to be recalculated. Per the most recent permit and the resort map, there are 18 cabins, two pools, multiple bath houses, multiple laundry facilities, a grill, and an office building. Natural Heritage Info (pg 14) IV.9 is answered no, natural heritage documentation was provided in the application package. Pg 1865-1868 New MW and unknown well at the toe slope of A new MW will be needed downslope of ZB and storage pond (pg 14) ZC. This was not discussed in the hydro report. Where does the facility propose to put a new downgradient MW? There is also a well visible at the toe slope of the storage pond, close to the access gate for the irrigation fields. Information needs to be provided about this well. If it is a MW why was it not properly abandoned. Or does it need to be added to the permit? Why was it installed? Clarification of bypass/discharge lines (pg 15, V.3) This question is checked yes and no, needs to be clarified Residual storage volume (pg 15 V.7, pg 16 V.11.d., Residual storage is proposed in the application is pg 106, pg 1845-1846) 6,700 gallons. The engineer plans and residuals management plan show that there will be 7,770 gallons of storage between the sludge chamber and the external storage tank, with a maximum storage of 8,020 gallons. But the proposed sludge generation is 272 gpd. 272 gpd x 30 days = 8,160 gallons. Based on this, there is not enough residuals storage volume. The residuals management plan mentioned a 2% decanted solids rate, but does not provide any calculations to show that the required volume will be less. 8,160 gallons x 2% = 163.2 gallons. 8,160 gallons — 163.2 gallons = 7,996.8 gallons. Okay? Public access (pg 15, 20) V.8 and W11.4 state a fence and gate will be used to restrict public access to the treatment plant and irrigation fields. There are several well used golf cart trails visible through ZB and ZC. Better site restriction will be needed. An ORC and BUORC must be designated for all ORC and BUORC have been designated for 51, but classifications for the system not WW2. Will the same grade be kept for the WWTP? Currently, bot ORC and BUORC have WW2 certification. Lift stations (pg 15, V.9) The old lift stations were included in the most recent permit description. The collection system was expanded with a fast -track sewer permit. The permit description needs to be updated to 8 lift stations. This may need to be verified by the facility. Clarification of multiple pumps (pg 15, V.4) The multiple pumps questions is checked no, but there is no explanation of how compliance will still be maintained Clarify volume of each treatment unit (pg 16, 104, The volumes listed in V.11 do not match what is 106) listed on engineer plan page C-5. This needs to be clarified. The number of treatment units More information is needed about chlorination Currently, there is a baffled chlorine contact (pg 16 V.11.c., pg 1785) chamber with tablets used for disinfection at the end of the package plant. The proposed disinfection method is introducing liquid chlorine to the influent pipe to the storage pond. The storage pond is 408,000 gallons, not 200,000 gallons. I do not believe that this is an acceptable disinfection method. There is no guarantee of prolonged contact with chlorine, and the storage pond will not be empty when the new plant is installed. There will be a significant dilution of chlorine as it enters the storage pond. Where will effluent samples be taken to prove proper disinfection and treatment? What is the irrigation schedule with the retention time is 525 minutes (8.75hrs)? Will UV disinfection be used? There is a manual for a UV unit included in the application package. Will the old package plant be removed? It is unclear how the old plant will be decommissioned and what treatment units will still be in use with the new package plant. It appears that the old EQ basin will remain and continue to serve as an EQ basin, but there is also discussion of using the aeration basin as an EQ basin while the EQ basin is being repaired. This needs to be clarified. Engineer plans also show that the old sludge basin will be used as an aeration basin. Clarification of artificial drainage or water VII.2 is answered as no. Based on field movement structures (pg 20, 36, 107) observations there are several ditches within the irrigation area and next to the irrigation area. The soil map and engineer plans do not show any ditches. See attached map for the approximate location of the ditches within ZB and ZC. Clarification of recommended loading rates (pg VI1.3 lists both soil series within the proposed 20,33) application fields. The Soil Report does not separate the soil series and only lists 0.3 in/hr as the loading rate and 36.82 in/yr. The recommended loading rates based on soil evaluation should be clarified. Agronomist Report (pg 55) The agronomist report listed in the application is from Waypoint Analytical. The report provided in the application was completed by Piedmont Environmental. Is this the correct report? Should another report be provided? This report also refers to reclaimed wastewater. Should there be reclaimed wastewater? Where did the sqft come from? The minimum irrigation area for nitrogen and phosphorus are less than an acre and the minimum irrigation area for water balance is about two acres. The cover crops listed are not accurate. ZB and ZC are more accurately described as mixed hardwood, and ZD and ZE are pine. The soil series listed is not Pacolet. Was this from another agronomist report? The slopes observed in the field are better described as 5-20%. A slope of 0.5% is not accurate. Clarify irrigation zone names (pg 21, pg 107) The application lists B, C, D, and E while the engineer plans list B, C, D, and F. There are also differences in the zone names of highest elevation irrigation head labels. Correct coordinates for zones (pg 21) The coordinates for Zone D are incorrect, and Zone E needs to be verified. Clarify acreage and include decreased acreage of The hydro report lists the new irrigation area as Zone A (pg 21, pg 107) 9.6 ac, and the application lists 11.17, and the engineer plans list 10.44 ac. Which is right? Zone B and C have different acreage in the application compared to the design plans. The existing irrigation field was not included as there is a decrease in acreage. The hydro report lists 4.55 ac, the engineer plans list 5.26 ac. Which is correct? Clarify the in/hr amount and designed loading The in/hr loading rate in the design plans is 0.939 rate (pg 21, pg 107) in/hr but the application lists 0.078 in/hr. 0.939 in/hr exceeds the maximum dosing rate of 0.3 in/hr in the Soil Report (pg 33). It should also be noted that the overall volume that can be irrigated on the existing irrigation field will decrease as the acreage has decreased. Clarification of lack of storage volume increase The permit application has no new proposed storage unit. Based on pg 107, the existing irrigation field has a new acreage of 5.26 acres. With no change to the permitted yearly max, 6,684,516 gallons can be irrigated in a year. If each irrigation event is 20,333 gallons as proposed, that field can be irrigated up to 328 days in a year. Based on the designed yearly max for the new fields, 1,702,555 gallons can be irrigated in a year. If each irrigation event is 39,667 gallons as proposed, those fields can be irrigated only 42 days in a year. These calculations are based on a peak flow design of 60,000 GPD. A total of 8.4MG can be irrigated on the irrigation fields. If permitted for 49,000 GPD, there should be enough capacity to irrigate 17.9 MG gallons, correct? The storage pond is only 408,000 gallons. Will be reclaimed quality? (pg 22) VIIIA is answered yes. Will this system be reclaimed quality effluent? If so there needs to be a 5 day upset storage unit and a turbidimeter. There was no indication of these items in the application. Soil Report (pg 32) The soil analysis provided was completed in 2021. The application guidance states that a soil analysis must be conducted no more than one year prior to the permit application. Will a new soil analysis be needed? The soil report states that ksats and other field work was completed in June and October 2021. The dates on the ksat forms are 2022. When were the ksats done? If > 1yr ago will another statement be needed stating that no changes have been made. The field logs were not included in this report. These need to be provided. The recommended loading rate in the report is 0.3 in/dose, but what was considered a dose in this report was not defined. The recommended instantaneous application rate is 0.4 in/hr. The recommended loading rate is 36.82 in/yr. In VI1.3 of the application (pg 22) the maximum loading rates are 1.27 in/hr and 15.64 in/yr for PcB2, and 1.27 in/hr and 12.24 in/yr for PcC2. Why are these rates different? What is the recommended in/hr from the soil scientist? The loading rates were not described based on map unit. The ksats were not divided by map unit. Map unit loading rates should be provided as slopes within the map units ranged from 5- 20%. The hourly and yearly loading rates will be impacted by the higher slopes. I also have some concerns about the ksat measurements. Some did not appear to be at a steady state when the test was ended, and consecutive measurements were not used to calculate an average in some tests. Hydro Report (starts pg. 63) The Approach lists 3 borings in the areas identified as new irrigation fields. There was no data for the borings included. The field investigation section does not include the borings. Were these completed? There is no description of the site. There is a large lake on the property with a stream that flows from it. There are four groundwater monitoring wells associated with the facility that are not discussed in detail. One of the MWs is within an irrigation field, and there is no discussion of where the new downgradient MW should be located. There is also no discussion of the 100 yr flood plain, which the existing irrigation field and ZB and C are next to. There are also agricultural fields less than a mile from the irrigation area. The area is described as the Carolina Slate Belt (pg 75), which it is not. The area is in the Charlotte and Milton Belts. Clarification is needed if this will impact the hydrogeological report. The maximum wastewater flow was calculated assuming there is no water in the storage pond. This is an incorrect assumption as the storage pond will contain effluent when the new package plant is installed. The storage pond cannot be completely drained because a minimum liquid level will always be maintained to protect the irrigation pumps. There are also no water supply wells in the area as the campground is served by public water. In the Conclusion, water supply well information is listed. This needs to be clarified. There is no discussion of the groundwater flow as required. The Conclusion states that the groundwater flow patterns are consistent with the conceptual model. Where is this information? The Conclusion also states that irrigation can occur during all months of the year. Based on Table 6, irrigation cannot occur in the existing field during April. The report also states that wastewater flow is constrained by storage and irrigation fields to 33,238 GPD. The requested flow is 49,000 GPD. The hydro report supports that flow cannot be increased to 49,000 GPD. This model does not account for the seasonal nature of the campground, where peak flow can be sustained for several days. It should also be considered that irrigation is limited by temperature, and limiting temperatures were not included in the water balance calculations. The figures do not appear to be referenced correctly, or all figures included. Ex: The last paragraph on Pg 73 references a Figure 5 showing contours, but that is show in Figure 3 on the following page. The cross section B-B' is also not shown. These errors make the report hard to follow and it appears that not all information is included for review. Water Balance The application guidance states that residential facilities must have a minimum of 14 days storage. The water balance shows that only 12 days of storage are available with flow constrained to an average of 33,238 GPD. Can a campground be considered residential? Only domestic waste will be entering the system. The convergent water balance also shows that all available storage will be used by April. This facility has had some chronic storage issues during wet months. Engineering Plans (start pg 99) There are several areas on the site plan where the irrigation patterns and irrigation heads exceed the soil review area. The irrigation patterns need to be restricted, or the soil scientist confirm that those areas are suitable as well. Site Plans (pg 468) The site plan does not show streams or surface drainage features within 500ft of the treatment, storage, and irrigation sites. How do the camp sites need to be handled? The site plan does not show where the individual camp sites are. There is an access road to the irrigation field and MW3 that is not shown on the map. This road also has ditches on both sides. Irrigation from the new zones should be restricted from these ditches. There are also two ditches within ZB and ZC that should be buffered and excluded from the irrigation area. The RB and CB are not shown. Operation and Maintenance Plan (starts pg 473) A spill prevention plan was not provided. Residuals Management Plan (pg 1844-1846) An oil and grease removal plan was not provided. There is a small grill on the property. Unlabeled well at toe slop of storage pond A well is located at the bottom of the storage embankment pond embankment beside the access road to the irrigation fields (35.8637604,-80.3961658). What is this well? Is it an old monitoring well? Why wasn't it abandoned? If it is an old monitoring well, it should be properly abandoned, and the required form submitted. ;.jw'•�Y• i `a+ • `�i4 • Y.. ��1.�Mr� ! * .' �1. -t'�� ter.

The purpose of the soils investigation was to review the site and soil conditions for proposed expansion of the wastewater irrigation fields serving the facility. Soils were investigated using hand auger borings. A total of seven soil borings were advanced within the proposed expansion spray areas. Attached is a soils map showing the approximate location of auger borings in relation to the proposed expansion. A review of the soils report and agronomic report included with the application package, provided by Piedmont Environmental Associates, P.A. (PEA), was also completed. Below is a summary of findings and recommendations from the investigation and the review of the PEA reports. Findings: 1. The soils observed within the proposed expansion areas during the investigation closely match the Pacolet soil series mapped by NRCS in the soil survey. This concurs with the soils report that was provided by PEA. 2. Sandy loam topsoil layers were present in the hand auger borings. The observed depths ranged from 4 to 8 inches (most being 4 or 5 inches deep) in all borings except boring #7, which had less than one inch of sandy loam before transitioning into a thin sandy clay loam layer and clay subsoil. 3. Subsoil horizons observed in auger borings suggests that the depths in which PEA measured hydraulic conductivities is likely appropriate. The Ksat values reported by PEA are within an acceptable range for the soil properties described in the soil borings. Recommendations: ■ The slopes in the areas of soil borings #5 and #6 were near 20% slope, as indicated in PEA borings #15 & #17. In addition, the depth of the sandy loam topsoil above clayey subsoils were found to be approximately 5 inches thick. Given the slope and thickness of topsoil, it is recommended that the hourly loading rate in this area be reduced. An hourly loading rate of 0.20 — 0.25 inches/hour may be more appropriate. ■ The sandy loam topsoil layer observed in the area of soil boring #7 was found to be less than one inch thick before transitioning into clayey subsoils. It is recommended that the hourly loading rate in this area be reduced also. A maximum hourly loading rate of 0.20 inches/hour may be more appropriate. The proposed maximum annual hydraulic loading rate of 36.82 inches/year using a max drainage coefficient of 10% proposed by PEA is acceptable for most areas. However, due to the slopes present in the area of soil borings #5 & #6 it is recommended that the annual hydraulic loading rate be reduced in this area. The annual hydraulic loading rate of this area could be decreased by >20% (i.e., reduce the max annual rate to "30 in./yr. or less) to account for increased slopes. In the table under section VI1.3. of the application form ("Soil Evaluation Recommended Loading Rate"), it indicated: 31 fields with a B slope and loading recommended at 1.27 in./hr. and 15.64 in./yr. and 25 fields with a C slope and loading recommended at 1.27 in./hr. and 12.24 in./yr. These values are inconsistent with the recommendations made in the PEA soil report. The hourly loading rate of 1.27 in./hr. if grossly over the max recommended by PEA and greater than the estimated capability of the topsoils present. The annual loading rates of 15.64 & 12.24 in./yr. in this section of the application would likely require significantly more storage to be added to this system. This could be a typo in the application. An explanation should be requested. The annual agronomic loading rates proposed by PEA should be appropriate for most areas. It should be noted that vegetation in the area of soil borings #1, #2 & #4 is a mixed hardwood forest with some pine understory rather than an evergreen pine forest. The agronomic loading rate could be lowered in this area as a result. Given the proposed lower loading rates for Nitrogen and Phosphorus, this should not present an issue. However, if loading rates increase or nutrient concentrations in wastewater increases, nutrient overloading could potentially result in this area. ■ In the table under section VI1.7. of the application form, it indicated that the soil series "RecUom" with 0.5% slopes were used for the agronomic determination. This is not consistent with the Agronomic Report provided by PEA. This could be another typo, but an explanation should be requested. ■ Some of the hydraulic conductivity measurement data provided by PEA warrants additional review. Examples: some measurement run times were the same but the reported flow rates went up on the last readings, some flow rate measurements appeared to be dropping when the tests were ended without reaching steady state. I did not see the field measurement data included in the application package. Review of the field data may answer these questions. An explanation or walk through of the field data with PEA may also help. ■ There were a couple of drainage features located in or immediately adjacent to the proposed wetted areas that are not shown on the maps provided in the application package. The irrigation areas should be >15 ft. from these ditches. ■ It should be noted that none of the calculation values provided by PEA in the soils report and agronomic report were checked for accuracy. Recommend verifying calculation results are accurate before proceeding with permitting. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss any of the items above.
