King From: Jim Bushar:?HaullIPertnit Subject: Pump No. WQ0036285 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 modification to Pump & Haul Permit WQ0036285 to include pumping and hauling to the influent pumping station at the Hunters Creek WWTP as well as to the Holly Ridge WWTP for an unchanged permitted pump & haul volume of up to 11,430 gpd of raw domestic wastewater.

Wastewater sent to 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.
