Buncombe
25,000 GPD
UT to George Branch
C
BACKGROUND: McGill Associates have submitted an application for discharge of approximately 9000
GPD of domestic wastewater into an UT of George Branch in the French Broad River Basin. Note that this is not a
truck washing facility. The facility has a restaurant, restrooms and showers.
McGill investigated several non-dicharge alternatives such as modifying the existing drain fields, creating new fields,
implementing a spray -irrigation system and attaching to the Buncombe County POTW. All were ruled out based on
economic infeasibility and/or insufficient or inadequate soil/land. Buncombe county will not attach the facility to
the system though they will allow for private tie-ons. Two sewer line routes were evaluated. One was 21,000 feet
long with no pump station, the other was 14,000 feet long with 3 pump stations. These options were not pursued
as the cost for them was estimated at over $1 million.
GENERAL COMMENTS: This facility proposes to discharge into an unnamed tributary of George Branch,
a 0.0 7Q10, slightly positive 30Q2 stream. The limits therefore are 5mg/L BOD, 2 mg/L NH3-N, 17 µg/L TRC
and 6 mg/L DO based on NC General Statutes. The permit has been drafted in accordance with the WLA.
