TO: Nathaniel Thornburg- NCDEQ- Non Discharge Branch
FROM: Town of Angier- Jimmy Cook
REFERENCE: Resending of permit # WQ0002638 and converting the Spray fields into a park

The Town of Angier is requesting to convert the existing spray fields which is a part of the
Wastewater Irrigation Facility permit number (WQ0002638) into a park by resending permit #
WQ0002638. We are requesting to convert the 8-acre facultative lagoon into an equalization
basin and add the basin to our current collections system (WQCS00183). We fill that having an
equalization basin will help protect the environment by having options to divert flow in times of
need. Flow will only be diverted into the lagoon when needed. No flow has been added into the
lagoon for the last 200 days.

The Town of Angier will maintain the 2 monitoring wells at the lagoon/equalization basin site.
We will continue to perform annual monitoring as required in the original permit. We will
contract with a vendor to professionally closeout the 3 monitoring wells that are in the spray
fields. The solid set sprinklers will remain in place and be removed during construction of the
new park.

To maintain a 2-foot free board in the lagoon/equalization basin we plan to realign the existing
force main to discharge into our collections system. The existing 8” force main that discharges
to the spray fields will be abandoned at the new connection point. We will plan to concrete the
end of the existing force main that discharges toward the spray fields. The new alignment of the
force main will connect to existing gravity sewer located along Campbell Street. (see attachment)
This flow will gravity into Pump Station # 6 then pumped to Pump Station # 9 then pumped to
Harnett County’s gravity interceptor located along HWY 421 in Lillington. The Town is
contracted with Harnett County to receive and treat its wastewater since 2010. This process will
not create additional flow to the County that has not already been permitted.

We will contract with MBD engineering to modify the current pumps and motor sizes to
accommodate the new alignment. MBD will also provide a design for the new force main
alignment that will connect to existing gravity sewer.

When we have permission to proceed, and we complete the closure of the existing facility the
Town will request a closeout inspection with the Regional Office. This will confirm that the
decommission/closeout was properly conducted and there are no longer means of discharge into
the existing spray fields.
