SUMMARY OF FACILITY AND WASTELOAD ALLOCATION
The proposed constructed wetlands wastewater treatment system would discharge to
Dutchman Creek, a class C water, in subbasin 030706 in the Yadkin River Basin. Dutchman
Creek is not listed on the 303(d) list for impaired streams. The permit was initially issued in
November 2001. An ATC was issued in December 2002. The facility has not yet been
constructed.
The Town currently has no public WWTP. Failing septic tank systems throughout the Town are
treating wastewater from residences and businesses. Harmony requested speculative limits for
a proposed system from DWQ and was provided the following tentative limits on April 23, 1999.

monitor (winter)
2.4 mg/1 (summer)
4.7 mg/1 (winter)
200/100ml
28 µg/1
6-9 SU
These limits were included in the issuance of the permit in 2001. In the ATC issued in 2002,
the flow limit was lowered to 0.115 MGD to prevent exceeding the recommended ammonia
loading for wetlands. Limit may be increased at a later date with proven success of the system.
TOXICITY TESTING:
Recommended Requirement in original permit: Chronic Ceriodaphnia P/F @ 35% Jan Apr
July Sept.
Recommended Requirement in renewal: Chronic Ceriodaphnia P/F @ 20% Jan Apr July
Sept for .115 MGD flow and Chronic Ceriodaphnia P/F @ 35% Jan Apr July Sept for 0.250
MGD flow.

3. Report prepared by: Michael L. Parker, Environ. Engr. II
4. Person contacted and telephone number: Larry Coble, Cavanaugh & Associates, (910)
392-4462.
5. Directions to site: From the jct. of Hwy. 21 and Tomlin Rd. (SR 1843) in the Town of
Harmony, travel west on Tomlin Rd. = 0.5 mile and turn left onto Hickory Grove Road
(SR 1939). Travel = 1.0 mile and the entrance to the proposed W WTP site is at the end
of this road.
6. Discharge point(s), List for all discharge points: -
Latitude: 350 Xr22"
Longitude: 80' 47' 40"
Attach a USGS Map Extract and indicate treatment plant site and discharge point on map.
USGS Quad No.: D 15 NE
Site size and expansion area are consistent with application: Yes. At least 68 acres are
available for construction of the proposed W WT facility, however, only 25 acres will
actually be needed for WWTP construction.
Topography (relationship to flood plain included): The proposed site has rolling
topography (3-12% slopes). The lower portion of the site may be at or near flood plain
elevation, however, it is anticipated that all proposed treatment units will be constructed
above flood plain elevation.

9. Location of nearest dwelling: Approx. 1000 feet from the WWTP site.
10. Receiving stream or affected surface waters: Dutchman Creek
a. Classification: C
b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Yadkin 03-07-06
C. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: The area is
very rural in nature with agriculture being the primary use. The receiving stream
is = 4-5 feet wide and 2-6 inches deep at the proposed point of discharge. There
are no known downstream dischargers.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
a. Volume of wastewater: 0.115 MGD* (Design Capacity)
`EPA's recommended ammonia loading for a constructed wetlands WWTP is 1 to
4 lb/acre/day, however, the Town's engineer has proposed an ammonia loading
rate of 5.2 lb/acre/day. The Town has agreed to reduce the allowable flow to
0.115 MGD to reduce the loading to within the acceptable range.
b. What is the current permitted capacity: 0.250 MGD
C. Actual treatment capacity of current facility (current design capacity): Neither
the WWTP or the collection system has been built at the present time.
d. Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous ATCs issued in the
previous two years: The Town was issued an ATC on December 20, 2002 for
construction of the proposed WWT facilities listed in Part II (f) below.
e. Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: There are no
existing WWT facilities at this time.
f. Description of proposed WWT facilities: The Town proposes to construct a
wetlands WWT facility consisting of primary screening, a 1.42 acre facultative
lagoon, dual duckweed wetland cells, dual sand filters, dual UV disinfection,
cascade aeration, and effluent flow measurement.
g. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: None expected with UV disinfection.
h. Pretreatment Program (POTWs only): Not Needed at the present time.
2. Residual handling and utilization/disposal scheme: There was no residuals management
plan submitted with the NPDES renewal application. The NPDES Unit has requested
that a residuals management be provided to the Division prior to permit reissuance.

4.
Treatment plant classification: Class II (based on proposed treatment units)
SIC Code(s): 4952 Wastewater Code(s): 01 MTU Code(s): 32510

PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant Funds or are any public monies
involved (municipals only)? Yes. Public monies will be used in the construction of this
WWT facility. The Town has applied for funding from a variety of sources.
2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: None at this time.
3. Important SOC/JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: N/A
4. Alternative analysis evaluation
a. Spray Irrigation: Estimates provided by the Town's engineer indicated that at least
90 acres of land would be necessary to accommodate the projected waste flow
from the Town (this amount of land is currently unavailable). Although sufficient
area necessary to land apply the projected waste flow could possibly be found
within a reasonable distance of the Town, high land costs would most likely stall
this project since funding is based primarily on grants.
b. Connect to regional sewer system: The closest sewer collection system that would
have sufficient capacity to handle the Town's projected flow would be the City of
Statesville, and the nearest Statesville line is at least 12 miles from the Town. For
this reason, this alternative was eliminated.
C. Subsurface: There is insufficient area available to the Town to adequately
assimilate the projected waste flow. Furthermore, septic tank failures are the
primary reason behind the Town's efforts to construct a WWTP.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Town of Harmony has applied for reissuance of an NPDES permit to allow for a
discharge of treated municipal wastewater into Dutchman Creek. Construction of the proposed
Constructed Wetlands WWTP (CWWWTP) is planned for 2004 with operation to begin in early
2005 (pending receipt of funding).
The wastewater generated by the Town will be almost entirely domestic, which is
preferred for the day-to-day operation of a CWWWTP. Based on the performance of a similar
type WWTP serving the Town of Walnut Cove, it appears that this type of facility can be a viable
means of wastewater treatment, provided it receives a flow characteristic of domestic strength
wastewater and it is properly operated and maintained.
Page Four
Pending receipt and approval of the WLA, it is recommended that an NPDES permit be
reissued as requested.
