most seaward line of stable natural vegetation, all pilings shall have a
tip penetration of at least five feet below mean sea level or sixteen feet
below average original grade, whichever is least.
(5) All foundations shall be adequately designed to be stable during applicable
fluctuations in ground elevation and wave forces during a 100 year storm.
Cantilevered decks and walkways shall meet this standard or shall be designed
to break-away without structural damage to the main structures.
(6) All pilings shall be appropriately treated to resist decay, insects and corrosion.
(7) The lowest portion of the structural member of the lowest floow (excluding
the pilings or columns) shall be elevated above the 100 year storm elevation
plus wave height addition.
(8) All exposed structural connections shall be adequately rustproofed or enclosed.
(9) All utility systems shall be located and constructed so as to minimize or
eliminate storm damage.
(10) All walls below 100 year base flood level shall be designed and installed
to:
(A) allow storm waters to rise and flow freely under the structure.
(B) not permit the breakaway walls themselves to become water-borne debris,
and .
(C) not cause the accumulation of water-borne debris. Break-away walls
shall be intended to collapse under stress without jeopardizing the structural
support of the structure.
(11) No impermeable (such as asphalt or cement) surfaces shall be allowed over
any functional part of a complete septic tank system.
(12) The dune crossovers will be exclusively for pedestrian use, less than six
feet in width and raised on pilings of five feet or less depth so that wherever
possible, only the pilings touch the frontal dune.
(13) Any areas of dune vegetation that are disturbed will be revegetated as soon
feasible.
(14) No work shall begin until the oceanfront setback location can be established.
When the permittee is ready to begin construction, he shall arrange a meeting
with the appropriate DCM Field Representative at the site to determine the
vegetation line to set the oceanfront setback. This determination shall
replace the one done at the time the permit was processed and approved and
construction must begin within a period of 60, days from the date of that
meeting (otherwise a remeasurement is required).

(15) All pumps and structures (other than necessary buried pipes) associated
with the oceanfront wells shall be located outside the setback area. The
permittee must, at all times, retain sites for 100% replacement of the ocean-
front well fields. The oceanfront pipes located within the setback area
may not be protected from erosion by shoreline stabilization.
(16) The disturbed areas will be properly graded and provided a ground cover
sufficient to restrain erosion within thirty (30) days or project completion.
NOTE: In signing this permit, the applicant acknowledges the risks associated
with development in the Ocean Hazard AEC and the limited suitability
of this area for permanent structures. By granting permits, the Coastal
Resources Commission does not guarantee the safety of the development
and assumes no liability for future damage to the development.
NOTE: The Division of Environmental Management issued Section 401 Water Quality
Certification No. 2070 for this project for isolated wetland fill approved
by a Corps of Engineers Nationwide permit.
NOTE: The permittee is reminded that plans and specifications for the water
system must be approved by the Potable Water Supply Branch, Division
of Health Services prior to initiation of construction.
NOTE: Retention and detention areas for stormwater runoff using man-made or
natural swa es, either vege ated or unvegetated, can create mosquito
breeding sites capable of producing large numbers of very pestiferous
mosquitoes. Those who construct or use such areas should be aware of
this problem and of their responsibility to control these mosquitoes,
which readily migrate to other places also. Mosquito production in these
areas can be reduced by designs 'which allow water to stand for no more
than three days. Chemicals can also be used judiciously to control mosquito
larvae. A good system of regular inspections (at least weekly during
the warm months) can provide the information needed to manage these pests
properly. The staff of the Vector Control Branch, [phone], is
available to inspect such areas and offer advice on how best to control
mosquitoes there.

FROM: John Park
SUBJECT: Ships Watch, Inc.
DATE: January 19, 1988
This office has been informed by Bill Gilbert, who represents the
applicant and Al Hodge of your Division, that materials have been submitted
that are sufficiently adequate to allow DEM to submit a final comment for
the CAMA review. I advised both gentlemen that I would review the file
and initiate a request to your office for final comment. I have requested,
for the CAMA file, new plats to show any site plan changes that may have
taken place.
Assuming the new materials are adequate for DEM to inform this office
that the waste load in the CAMA application can be treated by the proposed
method on the proposed site, we would appreciate your final comment at
the earliest possible time, preferably during the week of the 18th.

TO: John Parker
FROM: Bill Mills
SUBJECT: Application for CAMA Permit
Shipswatch, Inc.
Currituck County
As you have requested, we have reviewed the information
which has been submitted on the sewage disposal system for
the subject project to determine whether the site will be
suitable for the type and size of sewage treatment system
proposed and will accommodate the wastewater expected to be
generated from the development which is proposed in the CAMA
application. Evaluation earlier this year by our regional
office indicated that the disposal by rotary distributors
would be acceptable for this site.
Final plans and specifications, application forms, and
application fees were received for sewage disposal at this
site on November 9, 1987. By letter dated November 19, the
application was acknowledged and the applicant advised that
certain information would have to be submitted before any
further review of the application could be made. The
applicant was advised to respond to the requested
information before January 19, 1988 to prevent the
application from being returned as incomplete. Several
items related to the suitability of the site to accommodate
the 70,000 gpd of wastewater expected to be generated from
the units represented in the CAMA application. Items
related to the site which must be resolved are as follows:
1. The proposed rotary distributors as located do not
conform to the separation of 100 feet from
property lines that is required by 2H .0200.
2. The 100-year flood level with respect to the
treatment and disposal facilities must be
identified.
3. The applicant has also been asked to describe the
type of development on properties adjacent to the
treatment and disposal facilities.
Until these items have been resolved we cannot advise
that the site is suitable for the type, location, and size
facilities described in the CAMA application.

Dear Sirs:
This letter is in reference to your application request for a CAMA
permit to develop a project near Corolla known as Ships Watch. After a
lengthy processing period in which virtually all comments have been submitted
favorably, we learned this week that sewage treatment plans and specifi-
cations have not been submitted to the Division of Environmental Management
nor has a formal site suitability determination been made.
Because of above stated application omissions, it is necessary that
processing of your application be placed in abeyance. This action is taken
under Rules of the Coastal Resources Commission NCAC 7J.0204(d) which provides
for such action when an application is found to be incomplete or other
key agencies require additional information.
Processing will be initiated when the above stated items have been
appropriately covered with' D.E.M. and evidence of such acceptance by D.E.M.
is provided this office.

SITE DESCRIPTION
Submitted by: George H. Wood
Date: May 19, 1987
The applicant owns a 70.8 acre tract on the Currituck Outer Banks just south of
Whalehead Subdivision which extend$ from the Atlantic Ocean to the Sound. The property
rises from the Atlantic Ocean to a primary dune ridge 15 to 20 feet high. -The erosion
rate in this area was adjusted by the Coastal Resources Commission in November of 1986
to extend the seven foot rate along the entire development making the setback for single
family structures 210 feet from the first line of stable natural vegetation. Extending
towards Ocean Trail are 51.5 acres of rolling sandy property which will be subdivided
into 101 single family lots, primary well field, two outdoor tennns courts, recreation
center, four retention ponds,.roads and parking areas. Reserved well fields are shown
to be located along the crest of the primary dune ridge.
The sound side of Ocean Trail is 19.3 acres of land. Approximately 5.8 acres have
been identified as wooded swamp or coastal wetlands and are delineated by the "404 line"
which was verified 1/15/87. A small isolated wetland (.37 acre) was authorized to be
filled by Nationwide permit from the Corps and this work has been accomplished.
All the development on the sound side except for a 6 foot wide pier extending
250 feet into the sound with a 500 square foot "T" head, will be landward of the
"404" line. Proposed on this side of the development are:
- 8 apartments to house employees.
- A restaurant.
- Convenience store.
- Sales office.
- Seven retail buildings.
- A 70,000 G.P.D. waste treatment facility.
Parking and drives.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed development will result in the disturbance of 40 acres of sandy
highground during the construction of the subdivision. The ocean front single family
lots are platted 210 feet from the first line of stable natural vegetation. No wetlands
are proposed to be excavated or filled. The review of this proposal should assess the
availability of potable water to supply the development and the adequacy of the 70,000
G.P.D. waste treatment facility. The need for increased municipal service should be
addressed by the county.
CAMA REVIEW
The project site is classified as transition in the Currituck County LUP. A
copy of this proposal is being forwarded to the county.

Dear Mr. Wood:
Enclosed is the Major CAMA Permit Application for Ships Watch, Inc., along
with a $100 application fee. The applicant is seeking a CAMA Permit for a
proposed planned unit development (P.U.D.) located on the Currituck County
Outer Banks approximately five (5) miles south of Corolla, North Carolina.
The Ships Watch - Currituck P.U.D. consists of 70.8 acres which extends from
the Atlantic Ocean to the Currituck Sound. Ocean Trail bisects the property
leaving 51.5 acres on the east side of the road and 19.3 acres on the west
side.
The enclosed plat (sheet 2 of 4) shows the proposed development including a
chart with the break down of land use areas. The east side of Ocean Trail will
be developed as single family lots with a recreation center located by the
entrance while the west side of the road will be developed as a commercial site
(retail, restaurant, office, etc.) including a wastewater treatment plant and
disposal area that will serve the entire development.
The ocean front erosion rate in the development area is 7 ft./yr. Therefore,
the setback for the single family homes will be 210 ft. (30 x erosion rate).
The only construction within the 210 ft. setback will be the secondary wellfields
and elevated boardwalks as shown on the enclosed plat (sheet 2 of 4). The
approximate shoreline and marshline adjacent to the Currituck Sound (classified
as SC waters) is shown on the plat. The only development in the Area of
Environmental Concern will be an elevated boardwalk (less than 6' wide) across
the wetlands which will extend approximately 250 ft. into the sound and have an
open deck, at the end, less than 500 square feet in size. The closest
commercial buindings will be 650' to 800' away from the Currituck Sound.
A. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Jurisdictional Areas:
In conjunction with Alison Arnold of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
we have located the 404 jurisdictional area. The boundary of this
area is shown on the enclosed plat. The wetlands are adjacent to the
Currituck Sound and extend 450 ft. to 900 ft. east of the shoreline.
The 404 line was verfied on-site 12/11/86. Enclosed is a copy
of the verification letter dated 1/5/87.

The only structure to be constructed over any wetlands is an
elevated walkway less than 6 ft. wide which will extend into
the sound and end with a less than 500 sq. ft. open platform.
A profile and plan view of the pier is shown on the detail
sheet (page 4 of 4).
' Enclosed is a copy of the Nationwide Permit No. 26,
dated 4/22/87, which was received from the U.S. Army
Corp of Engineers. In conjunction with this permit, a
' certification pursuant to Section 401 of the Federal
Clean Water Act (Certification No. 2070) was received
from the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and
Community Development, Division of Environmental Management.
A copy of this certification is also enclosed.
' B. Sedimentation & Erosion Control:
A sedimentation and erosion control plan has been
' filed and approved by the North Carolina Department of
Natural Resources and Community Development, Division
of Land Resources, Land Quality Section. A copy of
the approved sedimentation and erosion control plan is
enclosed (sheet 3 of 4). Also enclosed is a copy of
the letter of Approval dated 4/7/87.

The existing dune which runs north-south through the commercial area
(west side of Ocean Trail) will remain intact with natural vegetation
except for two road cuts to provide vehicular access to the westernmost
commercial area. These road cuts will be stabilized by bulkheads.
The areas designated as "proposed ponds" will be excavated with the
total amount of material to be removed consisting of approximately
27,000 cubic yards. The excavated material will be used on-site to
build up a road base, to fill the Wastewater Treatment Plant Rotary
Distributor areas, to build tip commercial building sites, and to fill
any low areas on individual building sites. All disturbed areas will
be seeded to prevent erosion. The majority of the project will be
constructed at or near existing grade to minimize land disturbing
activities.

Stormwater Runoff:
This project has been reviewed by William Moore of the North Carolina
Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, Division of
Environmental Management, Water Quality Section in reference to the
recently adopted stormwater regulations. Mr. Moore concluded that this
project does not fall under their guidelines, therefore a stormwater
management plan is not required by the Water Quality Section. However,
we have addressed stormwater runoff from the development.
Swales are planned adjacent to proposed roads to intercept any
runoff. As water is intercepted by the swales, infiltration will begin
immediately in this very permeable soil with infiltration rates of 20
inches per hour and greater. Any runoff which does not infiltrate in
the swales will be directed into the proposed ponds which will. act as
settling basins as well as detention areas. In the commercial area on
the west side of Ocean Trail an overflow swale will be constructed
which will direct any overflow from the pond toward the wetlands in the
form of overland sheet flow. The wetlands will provide a 500'
plus natural vegetative buffer between the development and the
Currituck Sound which is designated as SC waters.
The larger ponds in the
interconnected with the
Ocean Trail to provide
high water table.
Water Supply:
residential area will be
ponds on the west side of
relief in case of an unusually
The water requirements for the PUD will be supplied from three separate
well fields shown on the enclosed plat (sheet 2 of 4). The primary
well field, which will be constructed immediately, runs in
a north-south direction and is located approximately 1,300 ft. west of
the Atlantic Ocean adjacent to the northern property line. The two
secondary well fields are located along the frontal dune within the Area
of Environmental Concern. A future raw water line from these secondary
' well fields is shown on the plat and is located westerly of the 210 ft.
setback line.
On October 1, 1986, David Bissette of the North Carolina Department of
Human Resources, Public Water Supply Branch, Environmental Health
Section visited the site to investigate the proposed well sites. These
sites were approved and the letter of approval, dated October 3, 1986,
is enclosed. On March 3, 1987 Well Construction Permit No. 26-0057-WS-0018
was received from the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and
Community Development, Division of Environmental Management. This permit is
for the construction of the 4 wells in the primary wellfield, and is enclosed
with this letter.

On 10/27/87 Mark Bissell, Ken Stuart, and Tim Thornton
met with Dave Owens and his staff to discuss this
project. In reference to the secondary well field Mr.
Owens foresaw no problem with its location within the
210' AEC setback.
'
Recommendations from the project hydrogeologist are attached to this
application.
From USGS information the 100 year flood elevation is below
the 10' elevation. Therefore, the reserve well field will be well above
' this level.
E. Wastewater Treatment:
The wastewater from the development will be collected and treated on-
site. A tertiary wastewater treatment package plant is currently being
designed which will handle the daily sewage flow. The wastewater will be
treated in accordance with the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management Coastal Regulations and the treated effluent will be
disposed of by the use of two rotary distributors,or low head sprinkler beds.,
The proposed location of the wastewater treatment plant and the rotary
distributors is on the western side of Ocean Trail on the far northern edge of
the property,as shown on the plat. (sheet 2 of 4)

Al Hodge from the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management
has visited the site and given tentative approval of the site for
wastewater disposal. Enclosed is correspondence from Mr. Hodge
dated 2/25/87 in reference to the proposed wastewater treatment
facility.
A hydrogeological report covering wastewater disposal for this project
is enclosed.
The required number of copies of the supporting data are included, and a copy has
been submitted to the Corps of Engineers for concurrent review.

Please contact us at your earliest convenience if any additional information is
required to complete this application package.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Gilbert:
Enclosed you will find the original and one copy of your
survey of the Corps of Engineers jurisdictional boundary within
the proposed Seawatch development, near Corolla, Currituck County,
North Carolina. We have retained one copy of the survey for our
files. The "Jurisdictional Area" was flagged by Mr. Chris Marsh
of Environmental Services, Inc., with guidance from Ms. Alison
Arnold of my staff. Ms. Arnold visited the site on October 2,
1986, November 13, 1986, and December 11, 1986. She has verified
the accuracy of the placement of the line and that of the survey.
The discharge of dredged or fill material within the
"Jurisdictional Area" shown on the enclosed survey would require
prior Department of the Army approval under Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act. In addition, any structures or work below the
mean high water mark of Currituck Sound would require prior
Department of the Army approval under Section 10 of the Rivers and
Harbors Act. To prevent an unintentional violation of Federal
law, any land disturbing activities within the "Jurisdictional
Area" should be reviewed by this office prior to the start of
work.
Rules and policies of the Corps of Engineers regulatory
program are subject to change, as is the physical nature of the
property. Work on the property should not be affected by any such
changes if completed within 1 year from the date of this letter.
If such work is not completed within 1 year, then you should
contact this office for verification of this jurisdictional
determination prior to further construction.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Arnold at (919)
343-4634. We appreciate your cooperation with our permit program.

Sea Watch Development
Currituck County
Dear Mr. Gilbert:
1 This letter will acknowledge our October 1 meeting and investigation regarding
three proposed well sites on which wells are to be constructed to provide
potable water to the Sea Watch Development.
' The proposed primary well field number 1 is located adjacent to Albacore Street
approximately 900 feet east of the intersection with Ocean Trail. Reserve well
field number 1 is located on the dune line approximately 400 feet south of Albacore
' Street. Reserve well field number 2 is also located on the dune line approxi-
mately 750 feet south of reserve well field number 1. The exact locations of the
well sites are shown on the attached drawing which is being forwarded to our Plan
' Review Section of the Public Water Supply Branch for reference and identification
purposes.
The above described sites are adequate in size, and wells located as shown on the
drawing can be protected within the required 100-foot radius. No potential sources
of pollution are presently located on the sites, and surface water drainage appears
satisfactory. We again bring to your attention that no drainage ditches, sewer
lines, or other sources of pollution will be allowed within 100 feet of the well
site locations.
The above described sites are hereby approved by the Division of Health Services,
North Carolina Department of Human Resources, as sites on which wells may be
constructed in order to provide potable water for the Sea Watch Development,
Currituck County, North Carolina.

Mr. Bill Gilbert

October 3, 1986
' Approval of the water quality will be based on analysis of water from each well
which must be performed by a properly certified laboratory. It is also necessary
that 24-hour pumping tests be conducted on each well upon completion. Prior to
1 completion of the wells, all collected data must be forwarded to our Plan Review
Section for review and approval.
1 In addition to our approval, if the yield of a single well is 70 gallons per minute
or greater or if the combined yield of two or more wells is 70 gallons per minute
or greater, you must obtain a well construction permit from the Department of
Natural Resources and Community Development prior to drilling the wells.

Re: Water Supply

January 25, 1987
Dear Mr. Bissell:

This letter report contains models of possible well configurations, similar
to those that we discussed for Ships Watch Currituck (Figure #1, Location
Map). It appears that the water table aquifer is thick and homogeneous
relative to other locations along the barrier island. The basic design and
planning constraints are based primarily on water quality limitations. These
water quality limitations are divided into two groups. The first group
consists of water quality parameters such as iron, color and hydrogen sulfide
concentrations, which vary within the water table aquifer relative to sources
of the contaminants. The second group consists of high chloride and correlated
high sodium concentrations, which serve as water quality and density boundaries
to the water table aquifer.
Water quality analysis of the lest well # 4, near the proposed well field
(Figure # 2, Site Map), indicates that chloride concentrations are sufficiently
low (less than 50 mg/1) to support the development of a 100 gallon per
minute supply using three or four wells. The depth to the underlying
salt water was not defined in the test wells, which were drilled to 60 feet
below land surface.
Water samples from various depths, reveal that iron concentrations appear
to vary at different depths (Table # 1, Water Quality Characteristics).
The water sample collected from 30 to 40 feet below land surface indicated
iron concentrations greater than 8 mg/I (test well # 4). Potable supply
wells screened either above or below these high concentrations are likely
to experience iron deterioration with pumping. Even though samples above
and below this zone contained iron concentrations between 0.3 to 1.0 mg/I,
the use of sequestriants is not reliable.
It is expected that the 250 mg/I isochlore (salt water boundary) is

at Ieast100 feet below land surface, based on the analysis of deep well transects
' at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina (The Impacts of Wastewater Disposal Practices
on the Hydrogeology of the North Carolina, Volume 1, July 1985). Therefore,
analyses of several pumping scenareos (Table # 2, Salt Water Intrusion
t Model) indicate that upconing of saltwater should not interfere with seasonal
use. High chloride concentrations that bound the fresh water aquifer laterally,
should not substantially affect seasonal use, if the welt field is located
as shown on the site map (Figure # 2, Site Map).
' The location of an additional well behind the dune line as an alternate
supply, will help to offset some of the impacts of changed water duality
t due to extended pumping. The extended pumping of the primary will induce
poorer quality water (specifically high chloride concentrations). Being able
to rest a portion of the well field, by using an alternate source, the water
' quality should improve.
If two 50 gallon per minute wells are located at the primary location,
the wells should be at least 100 feet apart. The impact an maintainability
' of the wells will be enhanced, if three 33 gallon per minute wells are used.
Hydrologic drawdown models (Table # 3, Wellfield Simulations) show that
the maximum drawdown will be less for three 33 gallon per minute wells,
t compared to two 50 gallon per minute wells. Subsequently, the possibility
of upconing will be reduced (Table # 2, Salt Water Intrusion Model).
A recommended well field configuration consists of three wells in a North
South line, discharging 33 gallons per minute each. The two end wells
should be drilled to a depth of approximately 60 feet and the center well
' should be drilled to 40 feet. The shallow well should be screened between
20 to 30 feet with a tail pipe to approximately 40 feet below land surface.
If a submersible pump is used in the shallow well, a shroud is needed to
insure adequate cooling for the motor (if the pump is set into or below
' the well screen). The well screen and gravel pack selection for the well
construction should be based on sieve analyses of the screened formation,
at each well site. Analysis at the test hole site revealed that the median
' grain size is roughly 0.15 mm, and the 90 per cent retained of the formation
was roughly 0.1 mm, therefore, the median grain size of the gravel pack
should be .40 to .45 mm. It is expected that the recommended screen opening
should be 0.25 or 0.3 mm. An appropriate gravel pack material is Jesse
Morie Gravel # 1 , to be used with a 25 slot screen. It should be understood
that beach sands are bimodal (two distinct grain sizes) and that the deeper
a hole is drilled in a regressive beach sequence, the finer the grain size.
' It may be difficult to construct an efficient well greater than 33 gallons
per minute in this environment (probably due to the bimodality), therefore,

providing an additional reason for three primary wells and a backup well
near the dunes. The more wells used or available for use, the more reliable
the supply.

SUBJECT: Proposed Wastewater Treatment Plant
Sea Watch - Currituck County
This letter is written to acknowledge the receipt of the conceptual
plan for the subject development. At this time, based on the information
submitted and the one site visit I have made, I foresee no difficulty in
this project receiving a wastewater treatment permit. However, there is
additional information that must be submitted, as you know.
If I can be of any assistance, as always, I can be reached at (919)
946-6481.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The site evaluation of the proposed waste water disposal site
for the Sea Watch Development, Currituck County, Outer Banks,
North Carolina, reveals that the location is both geologically and
hydrologically suitable for a moderate to high rate discharge of
tertiary treated effluent. A loading rate of seven and one half
gallons per day per square foot is safe and reasonable, because
of the very permeable sandy soil and the sufficient depth to the
water table surface at elevations greater than 8.5 feet above mean
sea level.
' In order to safely discharge 70,000 gallons per day (GPD),
it is recommended that a canal or pond be constructed within 400
' feet of the discharge. The estimated ground water mound beneath
' the discharge is approximately 1 .5 feet above the water table surface
at the center of the discharge.

INTRODUCTION

The hydrodeologic site investigation of the proposed wastewaler
disposal facility for Sea Watch I)evelupinenl, Currituck County, Ouler
Banks, North Carolina (f=igure # 1, Site Location Map), focuses
on the ability of the water table acluift'r to IrInsporl and discharge
the rnaximurn daily effluent volume lhroucthoul the year(*rnole: Sea
Watch was inilially named Currituck Dunes, Therefore, some figures
and tables are so labeled) . The discharge will be up to 70,000
gallons per clay of lerl i.rry I realvd of l luent , which will be discharged
using low head sprinklers in a high rate spray field. The use
of spray beds versus the conventional rotary dislribulor syslem
will provide for better conformity to landforms related to regressive
beach ridge formalion.
In order to discharge this volmne of Ireated effluent in a
central location without adversely affecting surrounding surface water,
a "high rate land application syslem" is recommended. Al several
localions along the barrier islands, rotary distributors are used
for high role discharges from 5 to 10 gallons per clay per square

An analysis of the ability of the water table aquifer to transmit
the total volume of the desired discharge was made using the Darcy
Equal ion. This revealed that a discharge of 70,000 gallons per
day could be made based on a 250 fool. line sink located w ithin
400 feet o f the discharge. All of the hydrologic analyses and
calculations are made using maximum daily discharges for 365 day

infiltration rates at 1 foot and two feet below land surface using
double ring infiltrometers resulted in rate s greater than 75 inches
per hour.

Even after attempted pre-saturation the measured infiltration
rates are high because of the relationship of the wetted front
which has a large vecloral component in the horizontal direction.
During a continuous large (70,000 gallon per day) discharge the
infiltration rate will be reduced in proportion to the loss in lateral
flow direction. For the purpose of planning the infiltration rate
should be estimated under discharge conditions to be 20 inches
per hour. Short term or intermiltant discharges will more closely
reflect [lie measured infiltration rate.

GEOLOGY AND SOILS
The predominant soil series encountered ill the proposed waste lrealmenl
area are the Newhan Corolla, thmeland Newhall, mid the Dmkslon line sand
series. u i(pire # 3, Soil Mal) )(Tahle # 1, SCS Dif It Skeels, Appendix).
The Newkan Corolla series (which consists of two soils) occupies Ike Iransilional
zone between the higher lying dunes to the east and the broad flals to
the west. Il consists of low dunes wilh short complex slopes and the nearly
level intervening basins Ikat separale the dunes. They arc formed in slralified
sandy deposits Ihal contain mostly coarse sand and varying anwunts of
shell fracpmenls. The Durieland-Newhan series (which also consists of two
soils) is in Ike area of dunes Ihal parallels the ocean. This deposit is
periodically affecled by wind and is typical of a regressive beach ridge
sequence. Finally, the Dmkston fine sands occur along flals along the
edge of the fresh waler inarshes. They are in the smaller depressions
between the higher lying arel-is of the Newhan Corolla soils, and have been
formed in sandy marine scdimcnls.
According to the SCS Data Sheets, all these sands are well drained.

The reported permeabilities are greater than 20 inches per hour. However,
field investigation revealed significantly higher values, which were measured
in an unsaturated condition using a double ring infiltrometer. A double
rind infiltrometer will reflect the horizontal component of flow due to diffusion
during gravity drainage. This will simulate actual conditions encountered
from a low pressure spray field (hie to grdvily drainage (salurated flow

Overall, the soil profile throughout the site is adequate to receive
lertiary Irealed effluent. There were no significant restrictive layers present
that would inhibit vertical flow. Lateral flow will occur in the saturated
zone toward the west (the Sound acting as a line sink).
The geology and soil across the site appears to be homogeneous and

isotropic (Figure 3A, Grain Size Distribution Analyses). These analyses
indicate that the median grain size is (generally greater than 0.2 nun (fine
to medium sand) and that the slope of the cumulative frequency curve indicates
a very well sorted sand.

AQUIFER HYDROLOGY
In order to define the aquifer characteristics of the water table aquifer,
a twenty four hour aquifer test was performed to determine Transmissivity
(T) and Specific Yield (SY)(Table # 3, Aquifer Test Results); however, tidal
fluctuation distortion after 4 hours of testing obfuscated the water level
decline due to pumpage. The measured thickness of the water table aquifer
is estimated to be 40 feet. The test consisted of one 40 foot deep observation
well, one 40 foot deep pumping well, one Stevens Recorder, one Keck Instrument,
and over 300 feet of discharge line. The distance from the observation
well to the pumping well is 36 feet. Using Boulton type curves resulted
in a range of Transmissivity from 3500 to 4300 ft2/day. The TY calculation
resulted in a T = 3547.72 ft2/day.
The pumping rate was 17.6 gallons per minute, which resulted in a
total drawdown of 0.42 feet after 240 minutes. After 240 minutes, fluctuations
distorted the drawdown measurements. The analysis of the early portion
of the test provides an accurate determination of Transmissivity; however,
Specific Yield can not be calculated. The Transmissivity is measured over

3500 ft2/day. For the purpose of conservative analysis, Transmissivity
will be used at 2500 fl2/day and Specific Yield at 0.15. (Experience in
other beach environments shows a Specific Yield from 0.12 to 0.30).
The ability of the water table aquifer to transport the discharged effluent
off of the site is the limiting hydrologic: factor that determines the maximum
volume that can be loaded onto the site (loading capacity). In this analysis,
it is necessary to determine if the maximum safe loading capacity is greater
than the desired discharge of 70,000 gallons per day. For this 70,000
gallons per day discharge to operate satisfactorily, the water table aquifer
must discharge to a neighboring surface water or a 'drainage system at
a su,fficienl rate over a sufficient stream length in order to prevent hydraulic
failure on the site.
In order to calculate the maximum safe volume, the Darcy Equation

is used to define the expected conditions for the designed infiltration basins.
The Darcy Equation is expressed as:

Desired Q = 70,000 gallons per day or 9,358.3 f t 3 /day
Transmissivity (T) = 2500 sq. ft/day
Stream Width (W) = 200 feet
Maximum Water Level (dh) = 8 ft. above road ditch elevation
Distance to line sink = '100 feel.
2500 * 200 * 0.02 = 10,000 ft3/day, which is greater than the recommended
loading capacity of 9358.3 ft3/day. In order to increase the site loading,
enhanced subsurface drainage is needed within 400 feet from the discharge.
The determination of the time to steady shape or to steady state is
derived using the distance to the line sink or surface water and the distance
to the interception of length (W) respectfully.

to to steady state is based on ro= 400 feet.
Time to steady state is 4.27 days.
The result of a discharge from a 70,000 GPD spray bed is a ground
water mound. For this initial discharge, at the steady state conditions
of 4.27 days, . the ground water mound directly beneath the spray bed is
less than 2.0 feel above the water table surface (Table # 4, Computer Derived
Mound Analysis after liantush). The seasonal high water table is approximately
2.0 feet below land surface at elevation 8.5 feet. In order to accommodate
the mound height with the seasonal high water table at two feet below land
surface, the use of hydraulically compatible fill will be necessary to reduce
the risk of breakout at elevations less than 8.5 feet, beneath the discharging
spray beds. The fill should be sufficient to account for seasonal high
water table, depression areas, the ground water mound, which will be less
than 1.5 feet at the center of the spray bed, and a buffer. In other words,
low lying areas (less than 8v5 feel m.s.l.) will probably have to be raised,
in the area of the discharge basins. The fill should be contoured from
' the edge of the discharge basins, using the mound height contours and
adding approximately one foot of buffer for areas between spray beds and

line sinks. The fill should be clean, well sorted (less than 2.0 sorting
coefficient) with a medium grain size greater than 0.2 mm).
This estimation is based on the results of the computer analysis for
an initial high rate spray bed with an area of 111,000 square feet, and a
loading rate of 5.0 gallons per day per square foot. The computer model
is based on a discharge from a circular area with a radius of 66.76 ft.
(111,000 square feet).
It appears from initial calculations that it is feasible to discharge 70,000
gallons per clay provided the discharge basin is located or elevated (using
well sorted very permeable medium sand) to an elevation greater than 10
feet above MSL. It is recommended that additional line sink length be located
nearer than 1100 feet from the discharge. The use of drain tile surrounding
the discharge area draining to the line sink may be a perferred way to
control the ground water mound height.
This analysis is a complete predictive hydrologic analysis. However
,
as a predictive analysis, it is understood that actual conditions may vary.
I expect that the ground water mound will be less than predicted and with
careful observation the fluctuations of the water table and the effectiveness
of the line sinks can be determined. Therefore, I recommend carefcll hydrologic
monitoring, together with the required water quality monitoring.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the hydrogeologic site evaluation at the Sea Watch
Development it appears that the site is suitable for a moderate
volume (70,000 gallon per day) discharge at a high loading rate
(7.5 to 10 gallons per day per square foot). The ground water
mound height from the discharge is approximately 1.5 feet at the
center of the discharge, therefore, the risk of breakout is low
even though the estimated seasonal high water table is two feet
below land surface at the test site.
It is recommended that the site be elevated to at least three
El

1
feet above the seasonal high water table and that line sinks (ponds)
be installed within the four hundred feet used in (his analysis.
If possible a line sink longer than 300 feet, oriented North-South
should be constructed, combined with a drain the system closer
to the discharge area.
It will also be necessary to have the effluent treated so that
Synthetic Organic Compounds (SOC) will not be discharged to the
ground water. Land application in beach ridge sand formations
does not effectively treat Synthetic Organic Compounds.
