CONSULTING ENGINEERS 219 East Chatham Street Cary, North Carolina 27511 Telephone (919) 467-9972 — Fax (919) 467-5327 July 16, 2008 Mr. Lee Spencer, P.E. Regional Engineer, PWSS DEH, NCDENR 585 Waughtown Street Winston-Salem, NC 27107 Re: EAA and NPDES Permit Application Lissara Subdivision Forsyth County Dear Mr. Spencer: WILLIAM C. DIEHL, P.E. JOHN F. PHILLIPS, P.E. ALAN R. KEITH, P.E. Presented below are our responses to your comments and questions regarding the NDPES permit application (your questions in italics). Will an initial low wastewater -loading rate create operational problems? If so, how will this be handled? The plant would be constructed in two phases, each rated for 54,000 gallons per day. The initial 54,000 gpd plant would consist of two parallel process trains, to meet the DWQ's redundancy requirements. Each process train would therefore be rated for 27,000 gpd. The initial loading on one 27,000-gpd-process train will be relatively low, as the first houses are sold and occupied. Typically, when a plant is not supplied with a sufficient organic loading in the start-up phase, the operator can supplement the plant influent with various products. The possible choices range from adding bagged animal feed to the plant influent to adding carbon source chemicals such as methanol or the methanol substitute product MicroC (two gallons of methanol would provide a daily BOD5 loading that is equivalent to approximately 25% of the design organic loading for one 27,000 gpd process train). The developers of Lissara plan to turn the wastewater treatment plant over to a privately owned utility company, such as Aqua -NC, for operation of the plant. Aqua would maintain permit compliance for this plant's effluent during the subdivision start-up period, just as has been done on numerous other treatment systems serving new residential subdivisions. Mr. Lee Spencer, P.E. July 16, 2008 Page 2of3 What type of early warning system will be employed so that Davie County's Sparks Road Water Treatment Plant will be notified when there is a WWTP upset? Will there be any kind of SCADA system for automatic warning of a WWTP upset? The plant will have a SCADA/autodialer system that will notify the operator if any of the plant equipment ceases to operate properly. The list of inputs will be finalized in the design phase, but it would typically include a high water alarm for the now equalization basin, notification of a loss of utility power, notification that the automatic transfer switch has moved to the standby position (signifying the standby power generator started, came up to proper voltage and frequency, and is providing power to the plant), a generator trouble alarm, and a loss of air pressure when a blower is operating (indicating a motor or belt failure). The SCADA system will telephone or page the operator regarding the condition/alarm, and will continue to call/page until the operator acknowledges the call/page. If the condition is not cleared within a specified time period, the system will again call the operator until the call is acknowledged. The system will also have an "Inform Only" list of phone numbers that it will call until the call is answered and the system can inform the answering person (or message recorder) of the conditions/alarm detected at the plant site. The calls made to the "Inform Only" list do not require an acknowledgement; this feature was created for the purpose of notifying interested third parties of the calls made to the operator without requiring the third party to enter an acknowledgement code. The telephone for the Sparks Road WTP would be an Inform Only number programmed into the SCADA system. It should also be noted that Lissara subdivision is planning a Septic Tank Effluent Pump system for each lot, and a pressure sewer to convey the septic tank effluent to the treatment plant. The effluent from the collection system will be pumped into the plant's flow equalization basin. Although the flow is normally pumped by the flow equalization pumps into the plant, it is possible for the equalization basin contents to flow through the plant without being pumped. The disinfection system is planned to be tablet chlorination and dechlorination. Therefore, even if the plant had a catastrophic multiple failure of power supplies, or failures of the primary and backup blowers or pumps, the wastewater that would reach the Yadkin River would still have received treatment by primary settling and disinfection, and would be relatively low in suspended solids. The SCADA system would notify the operator of any of these possible malfunctions that could create upset conditions, so that the operator could quickly respond and rectify the situation. What type of operational data will be collected to ensure that sludge is consistently wasted to the sludge holding tank, and then pumped from the WWTP and taken to a proper disposal facility? Prior to obtaining an Authorization to Construct, all NPDES permittees are required to submit to DWQ a Residuals Management Plan. This plan must demonstrate that the plant has sufficient sludge storage capacity, and indicate where the sludge will be finally disposed. The operator will make the determination when to waste sludge out of the process by checking the mixed liquor suspended solids concentration and the influent wastewater's organic strength, and then calculating the amount of sludge that should be Mr. Lee Spencer, P.E. July 16, 2008 Page 3 of 3 wasted daily or weekly. Whether the sludge is transported to a land application site or a publicly owned treatment plant, the party holding the sludge permit will require a written record of the date, solids concentration, and volume of sludge hauled from the plant. The operator will also maintain a log of all activities of the plant operation, and this log is typically inspected during DWQ's annual Compliance Inspection of the plant. Please contact me if you have any further questions or comments. Yours very truly, Diehl & Phillips, P.A. ORIGINAL SIGNED & MAILED 7/16/08 John F. Phillips, P.E.

This development is expected to generate 108,000 gpd of wastewater, which will be discharged to the Yadkin River. This segment of the Yadkin is classified WS-IV and is listed on the draft 2008 303(d) list for turbidity standard violations. The EAA was been approved on May 14, 2008. No level B model was performed due to the extremely high level of dilution available instream. The facility will receive secondary limits as a result of its 0.03% IWC. The Division reviewed all the available alternatives and discharge to the surface water was found to be the most environmentally sound, reasonable cost effective alternative as required by 15A NCAC 2H.0105 (c)(2).
