MEMORANDUM
To: Bill Jeter, Chief
On -Site Wastewater Section
Division of Environmental Health
Through: Bob Cheek
From: Gale Johnson
Mg -
Subject: High Vista Country Club
Septic System with Subsurface Drainfield
Henderson County
DEH 97-60/GW98007
Ishwar Devkota: On -Site Wastewater Section Review Engineer
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject disposal system for predicted compliance
with state groundwater regulations and projected impacts on the relationship of the water table
aquifer to the ground surface in the vicinity of the proposed drainfields. Please note that this review
does not address the potential for ponding above restrictive horizons occurring above the water table
aquifer.
The disposal system consists, in part, of two drainfields to serve a new clubhouse. The
Groundwater Section's review and comments are restricted to the two new drainfields and do not
address the existing drainfield. The proposed system will have a daily design flow of 5220 gallons
per day (GPD) for tankage, and 3480 GPD for the dosing system and drainfields. The latter figure
was use by the Groundwater Section in conducting it's review of the disposal system. The
Groundwater Section does not object to the issuance of the subject permit with the following
conditions:
(1) Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall
be provided.
(2) The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by
regulations in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The
Compliance Boundary is for the disposal system is established at the property
boundary. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the
Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action in addition
to the penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6A(a)(1).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BOUNDARY is established
1
around the disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the
perimeter of the waste disposal area. Any ezceedance of standards at the
Review Boundary shall require remediation action on the part of the permittee.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (919) 715-6629

AUTOMATIC: The installation of a SLOAN Optima
ETF -80 Automatic Lavatory Faucet makes any
lavatory totally "hands-free'. The ETF -80 makes use
of infrared technology to sense the user's presence
and immediately turn on the water supply that has
been pre -mixed to the desired temperature. When
the user's hands are removed from the invisible beam
of light, the water suppiv turns off.
HYGIENIC: Dramatic] mprovement in sanitary con-
ditions. Hygiene is aided by the decreased spread or
germs by eliminating hand contact with old-styie
handles.
ECONOMICAL: Automatic operation provides up to
an 85°10 savings in water consumption over manual
type faucets.
PRACTICAL: Solid state electronic circuitry assures
years of dependable, :rouble -Free operation. Auto-
matic shut-off eiiminates risk of sink overflow.
INSTALLATION: A uniq,ueModular Plug -In System
is designed for ease of installation on new as well as
retro -fit applications. The SLOAN ETF -80 Sensor
Operated Automatic-avatory Faucet comes with an
integral Faucet and Sensor Assembly comoiete ,.vith
24 V Transformer and Soienoids plus ail mounting
hardware.

SOIL SUITABILITY AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SOILS
AT THE PROPOSED HIGH VISTA CLUBHOUSE FOR
SUBSURFACE SEPTIC SYSTEM
HENDERSON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
A detailed soil/site evaluation of the above named property was performed by Kevin C.
Martin and Steven M. Price, NC Licensed Soil Scientists, of S&EC to determine its
suitability for a subsurface wastewater treatment system. The evaluation was performed by
making auger borings to depths sufficient to determine any soil limitations and to identify
the soil to the series level. The soils examined in the proposed system area were most like
the Hayesville soil series, which is a deep, non -expansive, well drained, clayey soil. The
soils in the proposed repair areas are most like the Evard soil series, whichis a deep, non -
expansive, well drained, fine -loamy soil. Based on state guidelines for conventional
systems, acceptable loading rates for the soils found in the system area could be between
.1 to .4 gpd/ft2 (05 to 0.2 gpd/ft2 on an area basis for a LPP system). These loading rates
do not consider the effect of hydraulic mounding beneath the system.
S&EC's evaluations to determine the soil suitability for on-site wastewater disposal
systems, are described in this report. This data was used to determine site suitability and
the area required for an on-site subsurface wastewater treatment system as per DEH
regulations (15A NCAC 18A. 1900). The following is a brief report of the methods
utilized and analysis of the data collected by S&EC. S&EC was told that flow reduction
might be approved for 12 gpd/member and possibly as low as 10 gpd/member for the
clubhouse. For the purpose of this report we will assume a flow of 12 gpd/member. The
golf course has a total of 348 members with a proposed flow of 4,176 gpd (12
gpd/member). The existing system will continue to serve the existing building, but we
have not "given any credit" (reduction) for this.
SOIL/SITE EVALUATION OF PROPOSED DRAINFIELD AREA
alone would not allow enough area for a complete system (i.e. part of the lower Ksat area
would be needed no matter what). The Deep Boring descriptions of the soils found in the
system area are found in Table 2. Two deep borings within the main body of the potential
system area were advanced to 19 feet without auger refusal, at location #85 and #105. A
third deep boring was advanced to 15 feet at location #68.5. Two deep borings were also
performed in the repair area. One was advanced to a depth of 9.5 feet, and the other to
11.5 feet. Both of these descriptions are located in Table 2. In Table 3 is a list of some of
the other large systems S&EC has worked on in the Piedmont and Mountain regions of
North Carolina; and the average Ksats of those jobs.
Hvdraulic Conductivit;
Unsaturated Zone:
Saturated hydraulic conductivity of the unsaturated parts of the Bt, BC and C horizon was
measured using a constant head permeameter. The methods used in these measurements
were similar to those described in Methods of Soil Analysis, Part 1., Chapter 29 -
Hydraulic Conductivity of Saturated Soils: Field Methods, 29 - 3.2 Shallow Well Pump In
Method, pp. 758-763 and in the Soil Science Society of America: Journal Vol. 53, no. 5,
Sept. - Oct. 1989, "A Constant -head Permeameter for Measuring Saturated Hydraulic
Conductivity of the Vadose Zone" and "comparison of the Glover Solution with the
Simultaneous - Equations Approach for Measuring Hydraulic Conductivity. The results
of these tests are shown in Table 1. The conductivity information was used to predict
flow beneath the systema These predictions are discussed later in the report_ The
conductivity horizon describes the soil material encountered in the auger hole where
conductivities were measured.
WASTEWATER FLOW ANALYSIS (using 12 god/member)
Design Flow Rate = 4,176 gpd
Assumed Loading Rate = 0.3 gpd/fe
Conventional Trench Width = 3 ft
Needed Total Trench Length = 4,640 ft
Needed Total Trench Bottom Area = 13,920 fe
Design Loading Rate = 5,700/19,999 = 0.30 gpd/fe
Minimum Space Between Lines = 9 ft
Minimum Total Drainfield Area = 4,640 a 9 = 41,760 ftp = 0.96 acres
Design Flow Rate = 4,176 gpd
Assumed Loading Rate = 0.25 gpd/ft`
Conventional Trench Width = 3 ft
Needed Total Trench Length = 5,568 ft
Needed Total Trench Bottom Area = 16,704 ft2
Design Loading Rate = 4,176/16,704 = 0.25 gpd/ft2
Minimum Space Between Lines = 9 ft
Minimum Total Drainfield Area = 5,568 x 9 = 50,112 ft2 =1.15 acres
I gpd/ft2 is equivalent to 4.06 cm/day
Design Trench bottom Loading Rate = 0.3 gpd/ft2 or 1.22 cm/day
Maximum Areal Loading Rate = 0.10 gpd/ft2 or 0.406 cm/day
The depths of saturated hydraulic conductivity's (Ksats) in the Bt horizon of the best soils
in the system area were taken between 11 and 26 inches at three sites (site #76, #85.5, and
9105). These Ksats ranged between 0.21 to 4.77 gpd/ft2, with an average of 2.24 gpd/ft2.
The Ksat values for the BC horizon at two sites (sites #68.5 and #105) varied between
0.37 to 2.44 gpd/ft2, with an average Ksat of 1.41 gpd/ft2. The Ksats for the C horizon
ranged from 10.77 to 21.78 gpd/ft2, with an average of 16.3 gpd/ft2.
We recommend utilizing trenches in the 30-36 inch range, with 18 inches of gravel. This
will reduce the chances of adverse effects of compaction and will allow more storage
capacity in the trench. No Ksats were measured in the 30-36" range, however the Ksat of
that horizon was measured, just at a different depth. The average Ksat, for the horizon
(either Bt or BC} where the trench would be located, is 2.33 gpd/ft2, and has a range from
0.37 to 4.77gpd/ft2. The locations, depths, and horizons used to get this average are:
#68.5, 18-24", BC; #105,21-2T', BC; #85.5, 15-20"2 Bt; and #85.5, 19-25"9 Bt.
horizon where the average Ksat in the best soils area is between 4.5 to 7.5 times larger
than the design loading rate (assuming all flow is through the trench bottom).
Assuming that wastewater distributed by pressure manifold moves along the trenches, it
may also infiltrate through the side walls, which will result in faster infiltration than is
anticipated for the above analysis. Based on the Ksat values reported in Table 1 it
appears that the total volume of wastewater (4,176 gallons) that will be applied daily to
the trenches of the proposed system can infiltrate into the soil in a 24-hour period without
a significant amount of ponding in the trenches. This analysis assumes uniform
distribution of wastewater over the entire drainfield area. However, because of the use of
a pressure manifold system, wastewater will be applied to the beginning of the trenches.
Therefore, more ponding is expected at the beginning of the trenches than at the end of
each trench. As wastewater moves along each trench, it infiltrates into the soil through
the bottom and sides of the trench. Based on the available Ksat values, as long as no
clogging mat is formed, or conductivity of soil is drastically changed due to wastewater
quality or other factors, the system should function without a serious ponding problem in
the trenches. We are assuming that trenches installed on contour in clayey textured soils
will allow redistribution within the trench.
Once wastewater moves into the soil, it must move away from the trenches either
vertically or laterally. It was indicated that the maximum areal loading rate for 9 ft
minimum spacing over the entire drainfield area is 0.10 gpd/ft2 or 0.406 cm/day. The
lowest Ksat measured in the Bt horizon that is in the range of the proposed trench bottom
was 0.37 gpd/ft2. This means even the slowest Ksat in this horizon moves water at least
three times faster than the proposed LTAR Since the Ksats of the C horizon are at least
100 times higher than the areal LTAR, and since no groundwater was encountered within
20 feet of land surface in our deep borings, it is reasonable to assume that once the treated
effluent reaches the C horizon it will have no difficulty in transmitting the effluent
vertically and no ground water mound should result.
Based on the type of soil (relatively deep B horizons) found at the site, it does not appear
that vertical water movement through the least restrictive layer is a problem. These
analyses are based on the available data and simplified soil water flow equation. It is also
assumed that wastewater will have no effect on the soil hydraulic properties with time.
Please call if you have questions or require further information.
