Permitting Section
We are in receipt of your January 28, 2016 email requesting additional information/clarification regarding
the referenced Authorization to Construct (ATC) Application. We have reviewed your comments and offer
the following responses:
1) Under SECTION 3. 1. Permits: There is no indication if 401 or 404 actions are required, most likely
none were require. Please revise the table accordingly.
We revised the Table. The Town received a 404 Permit, and DWR advised that a 401 was not
required.
2) Under SECTION 4. A. — C: Per cover letter this application is invoking expansion to 6.0 MGD and
you are proposing changes, therefore, the appropriate information is required. As far as A. and B.,
the information should reflect current information and could be restating portion of the 2007
information if still applicable. As for as C. it needs to reflect all proposed new/upgraded
construction components that will be installed.
We have filled in sections A & B.
Part C —The new construction/upgraded structures at this time are the new Post Aeration (3)
and Digester #2 modification (5), which have been filled in, along with the Blower section. All
other existing equipment and basins were approved at 6 mgd in the 2007 ATC.
3) Requesting more detailed narrative on chemical addition systems. What are the bases for the
chemical addition amounts at 6 MGD?
Phosphorus Chemical Precipitation
The WRF has successfully used liquid Sodium Aluminate (LSA) to predicate phosphorus for
several years. We analyzed historical dosing rates and found that an average dose of 80 to 94
mt./min per MGD achieved the desired effluent TP. The spreadsheets provided (Tab 4) are
based on molecular weight calculations (WEF BNR Manual) and resulted in slightly more
conservative dosages.

Town of Holly Springs
ATC Application February 11, 2016 Page 2 of 3
The original 2007 design anticipated a 2 mg/L TP limit, and the new permit has a more stringent
0.5 mg/L TP limit. Chemical precipitation is going to be an ongoing polishing step instead of a
backup for BPR.
The improvements to the LSA feed system include duplex chemical transfer pumps to move LSA
from the existing bulk tank, the new building housing day tanks and dosing pumps for LSA. New
feed lines from the dosing pumps to the final clarifier splitter box will provide better control
and more efficient chemical usage. The Chemical Building was designed to allow delivery and
handling of totes, which can used if the bulk tank requires maintenance.
Supplemental Carbon Feed
The original 2007 design anticipated a 6 mg/L TN limit, and the new permit has a slightly more
stringent 5 mg/L TN limit. The BNR process has demonstrated it capable of meeting the new
limit, but the Town desires the ability to feed supplemental carbon to enhance denitrification.
MicroC 2000 was selected due to its inherit safety compared to other supplemental carbon
sources. Feed rates and dosages were based on investigations and discussions with the MicroC
vendor.
The WRF will have the ability to feed MicroC at between the BNR Aeration Basins and Second
Anoxic Zones. The New Chemical Building is designed with a Day Tank and multiple feed pumps
dedicated to each feed point.
Initially the WRF will purchase MicroC in totes as long term dosages are determined. The
Chemical Building was designed to allow delivery and handling of the totes. As influent flows
increase and more operational history is developed with the chemical, the construction of a
bulk storage tank might be justified.
We have revised the Dosing Calculations page (Tab 4) for Denitrification to correctly identify
chemical feed rates at 6 MGD.
4) Did not see mechanical drawing details on chemical addition points other than generic reference
on drawings. Are these addition points existing? If points are being move or are new then need
drawing detail.
All of the feed points shown on Sheet C-2 are new construction. Sheet M-5 includes a typical
detail (2/M-5) of the piping crossing over the wall into the basin. We will clarify the call outs
on Sheet C-2 to refer to the correct detail.
The existing LSA piping to the secondary clarifier distribution box will be removed and those
lines abandoned.
Town of Holly Springs
ATC Application February 11, 2016 Page 3 of 3
5) Drawing S-10 shows sump for containment, where does this sump go?
These sumps are designed without drain lines. The Operators will use a small portable sump
pump to remove ordinary wash -down drainage and return it to the head of the plant. In event
of a chemical spill, it would be pumped out into a container or truck for disposal or recycling.
6) For clarity please provide list of items being demolished and/or remove from service.
Existing Cascade Structure — Demolish
Existing LSA feed pumps — Remove from service
Existing LSA feed piping at Clarifier Splitter — Remove from service
Existing Digester #2 floating mixer, aeration piping, diffusers — Demolish/Remove
7) For digester#2 air demand, it is not clear what is the source of air. Is a new blower being installed
or are you using exiting air sources? if using existing air sources then you need to demonstrated
impact to overall facility air demand.
There are three (3) existing centrifugal blowers located to the southwest corner of Digester #2
(see sheet C2) which are dedicated to Digester #2. Each blower is rated at 2690 ICFM. See
enclosed blower curve and Data Sheet for Tab 6.
8) Could not locate construction sequence plan. Need to know details on how relocated outfall and
cascade system will be put in service and retired outfall will be decommissioned.
The construction sequence is located in Spec Section 0152 25 (pages 6 & 7). A copy is enclosed.
9) Per the submitted application, buoyancy calculation were conducted. Please provide copies to
attach to the application.
Buoyancy calculation for the cascade structure is enclosed. That is the only applicable structure
in the project.
We trust this information is complete and will allow you to continue review of ATC Application. Should
have questions or require additional information please do not hesitate to contact our office.
