• A one -bank W disinfection system consisting of 1 module at 2 lamps/module,
• Spare parts must be kept on site (as specified, at minimum - 4 lamps, 4 quartz sleeves,
lamp module
Audio/Visual alarm
• 3 blowers at 36 cfm each (for the dual package plants),
2 blowers at 11 cfm each (for the equalization basin),
• ultrasonic flow meter & v-notch weir,
• standby generator (35 kW),
• and all additional piping, valves, control equipment and appurtenances.
Once construction under this ATC has been completed and an Engineer's Certificate has been
submitted, the permittee is authorized to operate the treatment units listed above for a design flow of
0.011 MGD, with permitted limits as specified in the NPDES permit issued January 29, 2002.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with NPDES Permit No. NCO087122
issued January 29, 2002, and shall be subject to revocation unless the wastewater treatment facilities
are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in the permit.

The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with
G.S. 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by
this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal
facilities.
The Asheville Regional Office, telephone number [phone], shall be notified at least forty-
eight (48) hours in advance of operation of the installed facilities so that an in -place inspection can be
made. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made during the normal office hours from
8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding State Holidays.
Upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the Permittee shall employ a
certified water pollution control treatment system operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of the
water pollution control treatment system. The operator must hold a certificate of the type and grade at
least equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the water pollution control treatment
system by the Certification Commission. The Permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator
of the appropriate type and grade to comply with the conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8G, .0202. The
ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility
at least daily, excluding weekends and holidays, and must properly manage and document daily
operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other conditions outlined in Title
15A, Chapter 8G, .0204. Once the facility is classified, the Permittee must submit a letter to the
Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible charge within: (A) Sixty
calendar days prior to wastewater being introduced into a new system or (B) within 120 calendar days
of the following, (i) after receiving notification of a change in the classification of the system requiring
the designation of a new ORC and back-up ORC or (ii) a vacancy in the position of ORC or back-up
ORC.
A copy of the approved plans and specifications shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for
the life of the facility.
The Operational Agreement between the Permittee and the Environmental Management
Commission is incorporated herein by reference and is a condition of this Permit. Noncompliance with
the terms of the Operational Agreement shall subject the Permittee to all sanctions provided by G. S.
143-215.6 for violation of or failure to act in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Permit.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Authorization to Construct may subject
the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Water Quality in accordance with North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C.
The issuance of this Authorization to Construct does not preclude the Permittee from complying
with any and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be imposed by other
government agencies (local, state, and federal) which have jurisdiction.
Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification
must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility has been installed
in accordance with the NPDES Permit, this Authorization to Construct and the approved plans and
specifications. Mail the Certification to the NPDES Unit, Division of Water Quality, 1617 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617.

Susan- I will be faxing info on a 40 GPM EQ pump which we can use at
CooperRiis. I don't think we should go less than this since a peaking factor
of 4 is not unrealistic for this project. this would put flow at around 30
gpm, keeping in mind we can still divert excess flow back into the EQ basin.
Also the Asheville office has expressed concern that the operator would have
to get his hands in the water to adjust weirs. I will fax a mark up of
modifications on the shop drawings to show this fix. Please call me as soon
as possible when you get the fax. Thanks.

Susan,
Is this sales person trying to sell regular centrifugal pumps? His he ever
heard of grinder pumps or solids handling pumps? My opinion is that
grinders are needed with a minimalist bar screen. Have the bar screen
improved if you can through the approval process, if this is a new
facility. If it is an existing facility have the inspector take a look at
the bar screen to work with the operator to improve the bar screen. It is
easier to catch the solids in a bar screen than have to dip an EQ basin.
The pump size is to large. Does this engineer and sales person understand
the function of an EQ basin? It is not to fill up and empty in a slug
dose. If the facility is permitted for 0.110 MGD the actual flow is much
less, I would assume (Yes, I know the danger of assume). Two pumps should
be capable of pumping out the flow as rapidly as it comes in, should that be
necessary. This is not the intent of an EQ basin, as you know we need to
feed the flow out of the EQ basin over 24 hours at a rate the plant can
treat. Sorry for the rambling, hope I answered your question. If not give
me a call and we can talk.

Hey Susan,
I just got back from the site and it appears that the land adjacent to the creek has
never flooded. Donald Cooper, the owner, also verified this. The creek is at least
four feet below the top of the creek bank. The wastewater treatment plant will be
1.5 feet above ground. That'll give about a 5.5 feet elevation for flood
protection. If it ever floods, no worries, it'll be the second coming!
Thanks,
Wanda

John -
I've looked over the plans/specs-and your calculations. I just have a
few questions:
1. Could you recheck your EQ pump capacity? Dual 75 gpm is excessive:
for an 11,000 gpd plant (p. 3 of specs). Is this a typo?
SCrK R nio•, c ��^
2. I'm a little concerned about the blower capacity. My calcs. give a'
total required capacity of approximately 72 cfm (and we would require
144 cfm for duality). That's allowing 10 cfm/air lift, 36 cfm for
aeration (dominated by mixing), 7.8 cfm EQ, 7.7 cfm for sludge holding.
[The big difference is the air lift capacity, I believe].
3. As far as the UV is concerned, unless CooperRiis plans to put in
filters, I'd spec out that a 200 #/100 monthly geometric mean and 400 `
#/100 ml daily max must be met. I'm a little concerned that the fecal
limit won't be met consistently without the filters.
4. Also, I think with the UV guidance and since this is to C waters,
we'd be OK with spare lamps/module kept on -site and audible/visible
alarm, and standby power. We won't require autodialer for this small
plant, but the alarm must be placed in an area visible to a passer-by.
5. Could you confirm again that the standby power is adequate to power
all major components including the UV unit?
Mi �
CPA,

6. Have you gotten any other information from FEMA re. the 100 year
flood elevation in that area? I'm trying to work with Wanda on that one
as well and see if they have anything.
Thanks John. Otherwise, everything looks good.
