two wells presently being pumped at a rate of 500 gallons per
minute. The water is treated in a series of two ion exchange
units which are backwashed (1 to 2 per day) with a brine
solution. The effluent from the backwash flows through a small
basin into a man-made drainage ditch. The discharge eventually
enters Turner Creek.
It is recommended a draft permit be prepared and placed at
public notice. If no significant adverse public comment is
received; it is recommended NPDES Permit No. NC0072702 be
reissued for a period of five (5) years.
