MEMORANDUM
To: Morella S. King
From: Jim Bushardt
Subject: Pump and Haul Permit No. WQ0036355
Summerhouse WWTP (WQ0029945)
Onslow County
The Onslow Water & Sewer Authority (ONWASA) is permitted to operate a 400,000 gpd
Nonconjunctive Reclaimed Water Utilization System with infiltration disposal at the Summerhouse
S/D and has requested permitting changes to include pumping and hauling to an upgradient
manhole of the Hunters Creek WWTP as well as to the Holly Ridge WWTP for an increased
permitted pump & haul volume of up to 80,000 gpd of raw domestic wastewater mixed with I/I
flow. The reason for the pump & haul modification request is that the Holly Ridge WWTP and
disposal system can not take the full pump & haul permitted amount (80,000 gpd) at this time.
Wastewater sent to an upgradient manhole of the Hunters Creek influent pumping station is to be
processed at the MCB Camp Lejeune Advanced Wastewater Plant in accordance the conditions of
Permit No. NCO063029 per the agreement between ONWASA and the MCB Camp Lejeune.
If you have questions please feel free to contact me.

Dear Mr. Farmer:
In accordance with the enclosed pump and haul permit request by ONWASA (Mr. Timothy Webb), it will
be permissible to add an upgradient manhole to the Hunters Creek influent pumping station as a pump & haul
transfer point for raw wastewater mixed with UI flow generated at the Summerhouse subdivision. The wastewater
is to be processed at the MCB Camp Lejeune Advanced Wastewater Treatment plant in accordance with Permit
No. NC0063029. Additionally, pump & haul volumes may continue to be transferred from the Summerhouse sewer
collection system Pumping Stations #2,43, and 44 for processing at the Holly Ridge WWTP. Please be advised that
the pump & haul permitted volume has been increased to 80,000 gal/day of domestic wastewater mixed with I/I
flow.
This permit shall be effective from January 30, 2013 until July 30, 2013 and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements in
this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational
information will constitute noncompliance with the permit. Also, please note Condition No. 8 in the permit, which
states that the pump and haul activity will cease upon the expiration date.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right
to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of this permit. This request
must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of North Carolina General Statutes, and filed
with the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer 27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands
are made, this permit shall be final and binding.

flow to French Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility on Camp Lejeune for treatment. ONWASA
has sufficient wastewater allocation at the French Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility to
accommodate the additional flow.
For this modification we are requesting the maximum volume of wastewater that the Holly Ridge
WWTP ORC and ONWASA Collection System ORC has agreed to accept. We do not anticipate
additional flow from future homes to exceed the requested volume of 80,000 gpd. It should be
noted that ONWASA has contracted a local pump and haul company to assist with our efforts at
Summerhouse, therefore, our combined total capacity to pump and haul actually exceeds the
accepted volume from the Holly Ridge and French Creek Wastewater Treatment Facilities.
However, the 80,000 gpd will not be exceeded.
ONWASA is submitting for your review and approval the following information in support of
the application for revision of Pump and Haul Permit No. WQ0036285 for the subject project:
o One (1) original and one (1) copy of the revised Domestic Wastewater Pump and Haul
Application form
• Application fee check in the amount of $1,310.00 made payable to NCDENR for the fee
required as the flow being requested exceeds 10,000 gpd.
• Letter of flow acceptance from the ORC of the Holly Ridge Wastewater Treatment
Facility
o Letter of flow acceptance from the ONWASA Collection System ORC
o Copy of Addendum III of the Wastewater Sales Agreement between Camp Lejeune and
ONWASA confirming that ONWASA has 3.5 MGD of allocated wastewater capacity at
the French Creek treatment facility
e Letters from the haulers stating their capability and willingness to perform the pumping
and hauling
® Two (2) sets of Plans (Maps showing the proposed pump and haul routes and Record
Drawing of Summerhouse Pump Station Nos. 2, 3, and 4)
® Two (2) copies of the technical specifications

WASTEWATER SALES AGREEMENT
ADDENDUM III
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Parties entered into the Wastewater Sales Agreement on
February 17, 2004 (hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement) and has heretofore
executed 2 addendums to the Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Agreement provides for a Phase 1 Volumetric Flow Limit of 2
mgd and permits the Authority to submit a written request to the Government
Representative for an increase in the Volumetric Flow Limit;
WHEREAS, on April 24, 2006, the Authority has requested in writing that the
Government increase the Volumetric Flow Limit to the Phase 2 level of 3.5 mgd;
WHEREAS, at the time of execution of the Agreement, the Authority had
determined to design its facilities to utilize the Phase 1 Volumetric Flow Limit of 2 mgd;
WHEREAS, since the execution of the Agreement, the Authority had identified
additional needs which, through good business practice, requires that the Authority
design its utility facilities to utilize the Phase 2 Volumetric Flow Limit of 3.5 mgd;
WHEREAS, the potential users of additional capacity provided by the Phase 2
Volumetric Flow Limit include, but are not limited to, the City of Jacksonville (1 mgd),
the Town of Swansboro (1 mgd), Hunters Creek (about 900 residential connections),
other incorporated areas of Piney Green, and substantially more interest for sewer
capacity from developers;
WHEREAS, the cost of designing the Authority's facilities to utilize the Phase 2
Volumetric Flow Limit is substantial and the Authority has determined that it would be
potentially wasteful to so design its facilities unless it is assured that the Phase 2
Volumetric Flow Limit is available;
WHEREAS, as required by paragraph 2 (e) and Exhibit A of the Agreement, the
Government has determined that the Phase 2 volumetric flow capacity of 3.5 mgd is
available, that such service is not available to the Authority from another local source,
that the sale of such service is in the public interest, such additional service shall
comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations pertaining
thereto and that the Authority is fully in compliance with the terms and conditions of the
Agreement.
r
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. PROVISION OF UTILITY SERVICES
(a) Description. The Government shall from the effective date of this
addendum provide the Authority 3.5 million gallons per day of
sanitary sewage disposal and treatment services for wastewater

(b) Effective Date. This addendum shall become effective on the date
of its full execution by both parties hereto.

RE: Summerhouse Pump and Haul Project
Dear Mr. Hypes:
Lewis Farms is capable of hauling approximately 45,000 gallons per truck per day at the Summerhouse
job. Should ONWASA want to move 80,000 gallons per day or more, we can certainly handle that
request.
If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to call.
Thank you,

To: Surface Water Protection Supervisor,
This letter is in reference to the Pump and Haul request for Summerhouse.
1, Allen W. Rhue ORC of the Holly Ridge WWTP Wastewater Surface Irrigation Facility, am
willing to accept the additional flow of domestic wastewater from the Summerhouse
development that is being requested.
The average flow for the Holly Ridge WWTP Wastewater Surface Irrigation Facility
(WQ0019907) is .150 MGD. The WWTP is permitted for 260,626 gpd.
I do not foresee the additional flow of 80,000 gals. per day interfering with the normal operation
of this facility.

The Hunters Creek pump station can handle an additional 80,000 gallons per day for
conveyance through the Piney Green pump station to the French Creek treatment facility
on base Camp Lejeune. The Piney Green pump station can also handle the additional
80,000 gallons per day.
Currently, ONWASA is only utilizing approximately 225,000 gpd of the allocated 3.5
MGD at the French Creek treatment facility. Furthermore, ONWASA has contacted Jim
Sides, the Utilities Director at Camp Lejeune, and he confirmed that there should be no
issues with an additional 80,000 gpd being sent to the French Creek treatment facility.
