chemical process to treat wastewater. This classification includes reverse osmosis,
electrodialysis, and ultsafiltration systems. **
** Any water pollution control system that utilizes a phyicaUchemical process to enhance an
activated sludge or fixed growth process, shall not be subject to additional classi, fication.
Classification of Subsurface Water Pollution Control Systems:
Systems which utilize the soil for subsurface treatment and disposal of wastewater
and/or are required to have a certified operator under 15A NCAC 18A.1961. ***
*** Any subsurface system that has as part of its treatment process a water pollution control
systems that may be classified under Rules .0302 through .0307 of this section shall be
subject to addional classification.

Definitions
Activated Sludge - shall mean a biological wastewater treatment process in which predominantly
biodegradable polluntants in wastewater are absorbed, or adsorbed by living aerobic organisms and
bacteria.
Chemical Process - shall mean a wastewater pollution control system process consisting
exclusively of the addition of chemicals to treat wastewater.
Collection System - shall mean a continuous connections of pipelines, conduits, pumping
stations, and other related constructions used to conduct wastewater to the water pollution
control system
Electrodialysis System - shall mean a system utlizing a selective separation of dissolved solids
process that is based on electrical charge and diffusion through a semipermeable membrane.
Physical Process - shall mean any water pollution control system process consisting of
electrodialysis, adsorption, absorption, air stripping, gravimetric sedimentation, floation, and
filtration as a means of treatment.
Reverse Osmosis System - shall mean a system which utilizes solutions and semipermable
membranes to separate and treat wastewater.
Ultrafiltration System - shall mean a system which utilizes a membrane filter to remove
pollutants from wastewater.
Water Pollution Control System - shall mean any system for the collection, treatment, or
disposal of wastewater and is classified under the provision of G.S. 90A-37.
Note: Please refer to G.S. 90A-37 for additional information and definitions.

Permit: WQ0002829
Inspection Date. 05/19/2010
Inspection Summary:
Owner - Facility: KDHWWTP L L C
Inspection Type: Reconnaissance
Reason for Visit: Routine
Arrived at site (W00002829/KDHWWTP/Dare County) on 05/19/2010 while in the area for multiple site visits. Conducted
a drive through of the reuse spray Irrigation area. Observed the side walks for any upgrading of the stenciled nofices
concerning the usage of treated wastewater. Discussed such in 2009 wherein it was desireable to add additional stencils
In red paint versus the current green and to also Increase the font size. Observed no such additions. The spray irrigation
was active during the site visit. Observed no Issues with the irrigation process.
Next annual compliance inspection is scheduled for August 2010.
