RE: Application for Authorization to Construct Permit
NPEDS Permit No. NCO022691
Autumn Forest Wastewater Treatment Plant
3700 Autumn Forest Drive
Browns Summit, Guilford County, North Carolina
To whom it may concern:
On behalf of Yes AF Utilities EXP, LLC (Yes), Apex Companies, LLC, d.b.a. Maryland Apex
Engineering P.C. (Apex), is pleased to submit this Application for Authorization to Construct Permit
for the treatment process modification to the Autumn Forest Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
located at 3700 Autumn Forest Drive in Browns Summit, North Carolina. Specifically, the treatment
process modification involves the addition of aluminum chloride to the WWTP aeration basin in order
to reduce phosphorus concentrations in the system effluent.
The chemical feed setup consists of a Chem -Tech Pulsafeeder Model Series XP peristaltic pump
that pumps the aluminum chloride solution from a 15 -gallon drum to the WWTP aeration basin.
Manual controls are used to adjust the chemical flow rate. The chemical addition system was
installed on July 3, 2014 as a pilot test to ensure the chemical added would effectively treat the
phosphorus in the waste water treatment plant to meet effluent discharge limitation while not being
too expensive or creating operation complications. Since November 2014, the pilot system has
performed well and has consistently met the effluent discharge requirements. During the pilot test
period, the operator has had two incidents with the system. The first occurred in the second quarter
of 2015 when the plan operator received the wrong chemical from the supplier and did not figure it
out for about six weeks. The second happened this year between March 2016 and September 2016
when we had an operator who was not maintaining the chemical feed system. We replaced the
previous operator with one who is doing a better job of adjusting and maintaining the chemical feed
system and we are now seeing the effluent phosphorus levels drop below the permit limit.
On behalf of Yes, Apex is submitting the Application for Authorization to Construct Permit to continue
operating the existing chemical feed constructed for the pilot study. Attachments submitted as part
of this application package include:
• Application for Authorization to Construct Permit
• A copy of the NPDES Permit — Part I
• Engineering Plans
• Engineering Calculations

Design Criteria:
Treatment Plant Permitted Flow: 82,000 gpd
Average Daily Flow: 19,000 gpd (Based on flow data from 2013 through 2015)
Maximum daily flow: 33,000 gpd (Based on flow data from 2013 through 2015)
Influent Total Phosphorus Concentration: 12.4 mg/L (Based on sample collected on 6/29/2016)
Typical Domestic Sewage Phosphorus Concentrations: 6 mg/L - 20 mg/L (Lindeburg, 2015)
Design Influent Phosphorus Concentration: 15 mg/L
Total Phosphorus effluent limit per NPDES permit: 2.0 mg/L (quarterly average)
Stoichiometric Dose Calculations
The aluminum ion in PAX -18 combines with orthophosphate ions to form insoluble aluminum
phosphate as follows:
A13+ + P043- -� AlPO4
Given:
Molecular Weight of AI = 27
Molecular Weight of P = 31
PAX -18 = 9.0% Al by weight
lb
PPAX18 = 11.42 gall
Weight Ratio of Al to P in the above precipitation reaction:
27 g Al 1 mol P _ 0.87
Al: P = 1 mol Al x 319 P - 1 or 0.87:1
Phosphorus Influent Load:

2.1 day x 0.87 lb P x 0.09 lb Al x 11.42 lbs PAX18 1.8 day
Jar Test Dose Calculations:
On August 17, 2016, Mr. Allen Daniels of Water Guard Inc. conducted jar tests on raw water
collected from the Autumn Forest WWTP to compare two formulations of aluminum chloride -

PAX -18 and Delpac 2020. The jar test results showed that lower doses of PAX -18 perform
better than higher doses of Delpac 2020.
Optimal PAX -18 dose (based on 8/17/16 jar test): 150 ppm
Target PAX -18 Dose:
lblb PAX18
150 ppm PAX18 x 0.019 MGD x 8.349a1 _ 24 day
lb PAX18 x gall _ gall PAX18
24 day 11.42 lb — 2.1 day
Based on the stoichiometric calculations and jar test results, a target PAX -18 dose of 2.1 gpd
has been selected. The feed rate may be adjusted based on fluctuations in the flow rate
through the plant and influent phosphorus concentrations.
Selected Chemical Feed pump is Manual Control Chem -Tech XP Series Peristaltic Pump Model
# XPO04LAHX with a nominal output of 4 gpd.
