Several developers have looked at the property but none have actually started construction. Although development was expected prior to the present date, the economic turndown has forestalled development. Present expectations are that the property will be developed within the next 18-24 months. Detail plans for the WWTP will be submitted at that time. 2 of 3 Form -D 11/12 NPDES APPLICATION - FORM D For privately -owned treatment systems treating 100% domestic wastewaters <1.0 MGD 10.

Clement Printed name of Person Signi g Signature of Applicant Manager Title May 2, 2017_ Date North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6 (b)(2) states: Any person who knowingly makes any false statement representation, or certification in any application, record, report, plan, or other document files or required to be maintained under Article 21 or regulations of the Environmental Management Commission implementing that Article, or who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate any recording or monitoring device or method required to be operated or maintained under Article 21 or regulations of the Environmental Management Commission implementing that Article, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $25,000, or by imprisonment not to exceed six months, or by both. (18 U.S.C. Section 1001 provides a punishment by a fine of not more than $25,000 or imprisonment not more than 5 years, or both, for a similar offense.) 3 of 3 Form -D 11/12 Engineering Alternatives Analysis Clevon Woods Associates — Art Plaza_ NPDE5 Permit No. NC0070408 The volume of wastewater proposed for discharge from the planned facilities is estimated at 35,000 GPD. This is based on 55,000 S.F. retail space with public .restrooms, 5,000 S.F. restaurant and 3Q two-bedroom apartments. If a loading of 0.5 GPD/Ftz is assumed for subsurface disposal the actual disposal area required will be 70,000 S.F. With 3' wide trench and 6' separation, 9' O.C., the actual area required for the nitrification field would be 210,000 S.F. (4.82 acres). In order to use subsurface 100% repair is required. This means a total of 9.64 acres of suitable land area would be required. The site is only 11 acres and the area that topographly could be considered is only some 3-4 acres and is planned for parking lots and shops. Facts: 1. The site is not suitable for subsurface treatment of large volumes of wastewater. 2. Topography eliminates the possibility of spray irrigation on the site. 3. There is no public water in the area; therefore a well system will be required on the property. This could require 2 acres of the site. Since 2 wells would probably be required. 4. There is no public sewer anywhere in the area. Conclusions: The only viable alternative for treatment 'oF wastewater from the proposed development of this site is through a properly designed WWTP discharging into the adjacent surface waters of the Watauga River. b 1k Sludge Management Plan Clevon Woods Association WWTP Since the proposed piant is expected to be a 3 5, 000 GPD package treatment plant on a relatively small site, it would not be practical to construct complete sludge facilities on site that would permit .the sludge to be disposed of to the general, public. Therefore sludge from this facility would be pumped, by a septic tank pumper, on a regular basis and taken to one of the municipal plants in the area. This would be either the Boone WWTP or the Lenoir Lower Creek WWTP. It is believed that Boone has reserve capacity to handle this low volume of domestic sludge. However, it is known that the Lenoir Lower Creek Plant has reserve sludge treatment capacity. 119 12111
