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.

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 Should you have any additional questions or require additional information, please contact me at (910) 937-7525.

The average flow for the Holly Ridge WWTP Wastewater Surface Irrigation Facility (WQ0019907) is .150 MGD. The WWTP is permitted for 260,626 gpd.
