Subject: Summerhouse at Everett Bay JUL 3 12013
Request for Pump and Haul Permit Modification BY.
Dear Mr. Bushardt,
The ONWASA-owned wastewater treatment facility (WWTP) at Summerhouse at Everett Bay
(Summerhouse) cannot be operated due to low -flow conditions as currently there are only 7
homes and a community clubhouse that have been constructed in the development. The
recommended minimum flow to start-up and operate the facility, located in Holly Ridge, NC, is
30,000 gallons of wastewater per day (gpd). It should be noted that ONWASA is working
towards completing upgrades to the WWTP in anticipation of operating the facility in the future.
ONWASA is requesting permission to modify the existing permit to decrease the permitted
pump and haul volume to 8, 000 gpd.
The proposed operation will consist of pumping and hauling from existing Summerhouse Pump
Station Nos. 2, 3, and 4 discharging at one of two locations depending on available capacity at
the time. The primary discharge location will be an existing manhole adjacent to the intersection
of Jenkins St. and Crawford St. in the Town of Holly Ridge, NC. From that point, the wastewater
will be conveyed to the Holly Ridge Wastewater Treatment Facility. Due to recent periods of
inclement weather and subsequent increased flows at the Holly Ridge Wastewater Treatment
Facility, ONWASA is requesting to utilize a secondary receiving facility as necessary.
The secondary discharge location will be an existing manhole on Rolling Ridge Dr. in
Jacksonville, NC, which is upstream of the nearby Hunters Creek Pump Station. The Hunters
Creek Pump Station conveys wastewater to Piney Green Pump Station, which then directs the
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.
