I. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. INTRODUCTION
Clevon Woods Associates, LLC (CWA) is a private North Carolina limited liability company
based out of Boone, NC that currently owns 18 acres of highly desirable commercial and
residential development property fronting on NC Highway 105 (a main artery leading from
Boone to Linville and beyond), located north the intersection of NC Hwy 105 and Aldridge Rd
(SR 1594) and a 0.576 acre tract adjacent to Aldridge Rd on the south side of NC Hwy 105 in the
Foscoe Community, Watauga County, NC. The 18 acre tract is for a proposed mix use
development and the 0.576 acre tract is to be used for a wastewater plant (WWTP) installation
with outfall line to the Watauga River. The Watauga River is classified as a Class B High
Quality Watershed Trout Waters at the discharge point. A NPDES Discharge Permit NCO070408
was originally issued through the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NC
DEQ) for a capacity of 35,000 gpd for the Art Plaza WWTP in 1987. A location map of the
property and surrounding properties is shown in the Appendix as Figure l . The deeds for the 18
acre and 0.576 acre tracts are attached in the Appendix as Exhibit 1.
The NPDES permit has been re -issued for the property every 5 years since 1987. A draft permit
was issued on 9/20/17 by NC DEQ and is attached in the Appendix as Exhibit 2. A Request for
Additional Information letter was issued by NC DEQ on 12/14/17 and is attached in the
Appendix as Exhibit 3. In response to the letter, this Engineering Alternative Analysis (EAA) has
been prepared.
A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) was issued for the construction of a WWTP on the CWA 0.576
acre tract by the Watauga County Board of Adjustment on 9/25/17. A copy of the Local
Government Review Form is attached in the Appendix as Exhibit 4.
B. PROPOSED WWTP
A previously permitted used 35,000 gpd WWTP (NC AC 0063789) was purchased for the
project in 2016 and is being stored on the 0.576 acre tract. The plant is an extended aeration
package plant with tertiary filters. The Authorization to Construct (ATC) application and plans
will be submitted to NC DEQ by February 10, 2018 and will be installed after approval. The
plant is scheduled to go online in late spring or early summer of 2018. The WWTP Site Plan
Sheet C3 is attached in the Appendix as Exhibit 5.
C. NEED FOR PROJECT
The CWA property is proposed to be a mix of commercial and residential uses that will generate
a high volume of wastewater. The anticipated uses and wastewater flows are shown in Section D.
A copy of the CWA Master Plan boundary is attached in the Appendix as Exhibit 6.
In 1986, CWA constructed and leased a gas service and convenience store on a 1.245 acre tract
adjoining the CWA Development Tract. The 1.245 acre tract is situated at the corner of NC
Hwy 105 and NCSR 1151, known as Seven Devils Road). In 2008, CWA sold the property to
Amicus Investments, LLC, a subsidiary of WilcoHess. Amicus has since sold it to Speedway,
LLC, the present owner and operator of the gas service and convenience store. The septic system

r.
providing waste disposal for the convenience store failed in 2015 and the property has since been
operating under a temporary pump & haul permit for waste disposal. There is not sufficient
usable land for septic field repair or construction of an alternate drain field. Speedway has
indicated its need and commitment to the proposed WWTP project by contributing $125,000.00
toward its construction, and has placed $125,000 in escrow with a Boone attorney. A gravity
sewerline is designed to tie the Speedway property into the WWTP when completed and
operational. The existing wastewater flow is shown in Section D. A copy of the Wilco Hess (now
Speedway) boundary survey is attached in the Appendix as Exhibit 7.
Vestpocket Investments, LLC (VI) has an existing 40 seat restaurant across from the WWTP site
on Aldridge Rd. Their septic field has also failed and there is not enough usable land for repair.
The restaurant will tie into the plant after it comes online. The existing wastewater flow is shown
in Section D. A copy of the VI boundary survey is attached in the Appendix as Exhibit 8.
D. WASTEWATER FLOW PROJECTIONS
Based on the proposed projects in the vicinity of the WWTP, a total wastewater flow of 35,000
gallons per day (GPD) is ultimately projected for these properties. A breakdown of the total flow
is described below. All wastewater flows have been calculated according to the NC DEQ
Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 2H .0219.
Proposed Flows
1. 60 residential connections X 3 bedrooms X 120 GPD per bedroom = 21,600 GPD
2. One (1) 15,000 square foot shopping center X 120 GPD/1,000 ft2 = 1,800 GPD
3. One (1) 40 seat restaurant X 40 GPD/seat = 1,600 GPD
Existipg Flows
1. One (1) convenience store with four (4) water closets X 250 GPD/water closet =
1,000 gpd
2. One (1) 40 seat restaurant X 40 GPD/seat = 1,600 GPD
Total Proposed and Existing Flow = 27,600 GPD
Total w/ 1.25 Peak Factor = 27,600 GPD X 1.25 = 34,500 GPD
According to the USGS, the 7Q 10 for the Watauga River at the proposed discharge point is
approximately 2.0 cfs or 1.2 MGD. The proposed increase in wastewater flow will not exceed
50% of the 7Q10.
E. NPDES PERMIT LIMITS
The draft NPDES permit limits are attached in the Appendix as Exhibit 9.

II. EVALUATION OF DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES
A. DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVES
This section of the report will evaluate several alternatives for the disposal of the treated
wastewater. The following alternatives will be evaluated:
A. Connection to a publicly owned treatment works (POTW)
B. Drip or spray irrigation of treated effluent on land in area
C. Wastewater Reuse
D. Discharge to the Watauga River
E. Disposal Combination
B. ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
A. Alternative A - Connection to the Town of Boone WWTP
The Town of Boone WWTP is the closest municipal system, with an existing gravity sewerline
8 miles east of the CWA property. The proposed sewage transmission system would consist of
two (2) sewage pump station(s) and 42,000 L.F. of 4-inch force main along N.C. Highway 105.
The Town of Boone WWTP has a capacity of 5.0 MGD and currently receives an average daily
flow of approximately 2.4 MGD.
The estimated total project cost for Alternative A is $2,075,000.00. A detailed cost estimate is
included at the end of this section. Additionally, Watauga County presently has a Water and
Sewer Committee that has been studying the feasibility of water and sewer treatment facilities in
select areas of the County over the past 15 years. According to Mr. Joe Furman, Watauga County
Planning Director, there are no current or future plans to fund any regional water and/or sewer
facilities in the Foscoe area. A plan of the connection to the Town of Boone is attached in the
Appendix as Exhibit 10.
B. Alternative B - Drip or Spray Irritation of Effluent
Alternative B includes the construction of the WWTP, but instead of discharging to the Watuaga
River, the treated effluent is applied to land in the area by either drip or spray irrigation. It should
be noted that land application requires that the effluent be treated to tertiary limits. A review of
the Watauga County soils map and characteristics of soils in the area reveal that the CWA tract
has 2 distinct soil types. The lower area adjacent to NC Hwy 105 is a Cullasaja with 8% to 15%
slope and the upper areas are Chestnut-Edneyville with 15% to 30% & 30% to 50% slope range.
In conversations with Mr. Steve Price, RSS, with these types of soils in the area, a best case
loading rate for the treated effluent is 0.045 gpd/SF. Utilizing this loading rate, 18 acres of
effective area would be required for 35,000 gpd, not including setbacks. According to State
regulations, a drip irrigation system requires 50 foot setbacks, and spray irrigation systems
require 150 foot setbacks from property lines. Therefore, a drip irrigation system will be less
costly than a spray irrigation system, and the remainder of this discussion will be pertaining to a
drip irrigation system. A copy of the Watauga County Soils Map is attached in the Appendix as
Exhibit 11.

r--
r--
Utilizing the 50-feet setback requirement, a drip irrigation site would need to have a total area of
approximately 20 acres for 35,000 gpd. The total amount of acreage will vary depending on the
shape of the tract of land.
The State regulations require a minimum of 30 day storage pond to hold the effluent during wet
or freezing weather. An effluent pump station and force main will be needed to transmit the
effluent to a drip irrigation site.
The County soils map shows some suitable soil in the general area of the C WA tract, but
portions of the land are developed and the amount of usable land is insufficient. For the purposes
of this report, it will be assumed that land approximately 1 mile north or east of the WWTP
would be utilized as the drip irrigation site. The holding pond and effluent pump station would
be located at the drip irrigation site with an effluent pump station at the WWTP. If this
alternative is pursued further, site restrictions and practical land availability must be investigated
in greater detail. It is highly unlikely whether 20 acres of usable land could be obtained in this
area for a drip irrigation system.
The total estimated cost for Alternative No. 4 is $2,698,000.00. A detailed project cost estimate
and a schematic of the proposed improvements are provided at the end of this section. As noted
earlier, since spray irrigation land and facilities would be greater in cost than drip irrigation
facilities, the spray irrigation alternative has been dismissed.
A subsurface disposal alternative was not considered based on the above soils information,
available land, and cost of consideration.
C. Alternative C — Wastewater Reuse
This alternative involves all or a portion of the wastewater generated at the WWTP to minimize
or eliminate the need for surface water discharge. Potential reuse options include drip or spray
irrigation, industrial process cooling water, the use of reclaimed water for toilet flushing, etc.
Drip/ spray irrigation systems were discussed in this report as Alternative B and eliminated as a
possibility.
At this time, there are no known industries that are planning to locate a facility near the WWTP
that could reuse the wastewater effluent as either a process or cooling water.
Using reclaimed water for toilet flushing at the facilities would still involve the construction of a
treatment plant. The option of plumbing all of the existing and proposed connections is not an
economically feasible alternative. Therefore, the option of reusing wastewater from the WWTP
will not be discussed further.
D. Alternative D - Discharee to the Watauea River
Alternative D consists of constructing a dual train 35,000 WWTP. The proposed WWTP will
include flow equalization basin, aeration basins, clarifier units, tertiary filters, blowers, internal
piping, ultraviolet disinfection, and control panels. Sludge will be treated in a digester included
with the package plant to provide a Class B bio-solids. Sludge disposal will be contracted with

f -
r
the Town of Boone WWTP. There is adequate land on -site for the construction of the proposed
facility. The estimated project cost in 2018 dollars is $656,250.00. A detailed project cost
estimate and a proposed plant schematic are provided at the end of this section. The plant design
will be based on the discharge limits in the draft NPDES Permit which is included in the
Appendix.
E. Alternative No. 6 - Disposal Combination
r` This alternative would involve combining different waste disposal methods. As stated in
Alternative B, the proposed 35,000 gpd would be treated by a drip irrigation system. This
alternative is not economically feasible, based on the cost of construction for any type of
irrigation or subsurface disposal system.

III. PRESENT VALUE ANALYSIS
A. Alternative A - Connection to the Town of Boone WWTP
The operation and maintenance costs associated with transmitting the flow to the Town of Boone
WWTP for the 35,000 gpd are estimated to be $18,000.00 per year. Utilizing a 7% discount for
20 years, the present value of this alternative is $2,265,692.00. A detailed estimate of the O&M
costs is included at the end of this section.
B. Alternative B - Drip or Spray Irrigation of Effluent
The operation and maintenance costs associated with the drip irrigation system alternative are
estimated to be $57,000.00 per year for the 35,000 gpd flow. Utilizing a 7% discount rate for 20
years, the present value of is estimated to be $3,301,858.00. A detailed estimate of the O&M
costs is included at the end of this section.
C. Alternative D - Discharge to the Watauga River
The operation and maintenance costs associated with the 35,000 gpd WWTP is $40,000.00 per
year. Therefore, the present value utilizing a discount rate of 7% for a 20-year time period is
$1,049,010.00. A detailed estimate of the O&M costs are provided at the end of this section.
The table below summarizes the present values of the treatment and disposal alternatives.

V. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the detailed alternatives and present value analysis for treatment and disposal of the
35,000 gpd of wastewater for the CWA tract and existing flows, it is recommended that the
WWTP be constructed with a discharge into the Watauga River. To date, funds in excess of
$200,000.00 have been expended on the land, permitting, planning, engineering, surveying,
environmental studies, legal agreements, and the used WWTP components for the 35,000 gpd
WWTP construction and another $125,000.00 is being held in escrow (Speedway's
contribution).
Without an adequate method of wastewater disposal, the CWA tract, existing uses and
surrounding properties cannot be developed to their full extent into residential and commercial
properties, resulting in a significant loss of economic growth and jobs in the community. To
allow for this growth, it is in the best interest of the community and CWA to provide a method of
wastewater disposal with the proposed WWTP.

NC Highway 105, Seven Devils 28604
Watauga County
Dear Mr. Clement:
During the mandatory 30-day public comment period, the Division received ten (10) public comments.
Following the public comment period, the Division reviewed all pertinent comments on your draft permit. A
comment received from the Southern Environmental Law Center noted that no Authorization to Construct
(ATC) permit has been applied for since the previous permit was issued.
In According to 15A NCAC 02H .0138 (a), for ATC permits the following is required:
(a) Required. After an NPDES permit has been issued by the Division of Environmental Management
in accordance with this Section, construction of wastewater treatment facilities or additions thereto
shall not begin until final plans and specifications have been submitted to and an Authorization to
Construct has been issued to the permittee by the Division of Environmental Management. If an
Authorization to Construct has not been applied for in accordance with the requirements of the
NPDES permit during the term of the permit, the permit will be considered void upon expiration
and future actions will be considered as a new application.
Review of our records indicated that an ATC Perri t has not been received since this permit was originally
issued on November 12, 1987. Without an ATC Permit, this permit application will be processed as a new
application. The term "New" is defined according to 15A NCAC 02H .0103 (16) as follows:
(16) "New", with respect to implementing the NPDES permitting program, means:
(a) Proposed facilities that do not have a NPDES Permit nor have any facilities constructed.
(b) Facilities which physically exist, however are illegally constructed, i.e., no required agency
approvals.
(c) Facilities which have received an NPDES Permit and have received an Authorization to
Construct but have not begun significant construction of any wastewater treatment facilities within
the term of the current permit.

Any increases in treatment plant hydraulic capacity, which has not received an Authorization to
Construct shall be considered new and new effluent limitations and other requirements, if
applicable, would be imposed for the entire facility.
In order to process this permit renewal application as a new permit application, the Division requires an
Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA). One related public comment suggested that an alternative to direct
discharge, such as a subsurface, be evaluated. Given that 30 years has passed since any alternatives to a direct
- discharge have been evaluated for this purposed facility, an updated EAA would be prudent. Economic costs,
best available technology, and availability of a connection to a POTW may have changed over time.
The Division has reviewed your application and public comments for the draft permit. To enable us to complete
our review in accordance with N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 and 15A NCAC 2H .0105, please provide additional or
revised information to address the following comments:
1. Complete an Lngineedq& Alternatives Analysis (EAA). The Division requires applicants to fully
document and exhaust all alternatives to surface water discharge [G.S. § 143-215.1(b)(a) and 15A
NCAC 214.0105 (c)(2)]. The EAA should include boring logs and/or other information indicating that a
subsurface system -is neither feasible nor practical as well as written confirmation indicating that
connection to a POTW is not an option. For the non -discharge alternatives, please demonstrate whether
or not the physical size of the site is prohibitive, and whether or not the resulting loading rate is
prohibitive based on site specific soil conditions. For your reference, the "Engineering Alternatives
Analysis (EAA) Guidance Document" is enclosed. Please complete and return Attachment A. Local
Governments Review Form (page 8). The EAA should also include a present value of costs analysis as
outlined in the Division's EAA guidance. Each alternative should be thoroughly evaluated and each
conclusion should be substantiated by appropriate documents and itemized budgets demonstrating that
alternatives are cost prohibitive.
If no response is received within 60 calendar days [per 15A NCAC 2H.0107(b)], the project will be deactivated
and withdrawn from our review process and the documents recycled. If you have any questions, please contact
Derek Denard at 919-807-807-6307 or email at derek.denardCcr�.ncdenr.gay.
