Receiving water classification(s) for the waters: WS-V, NSW
If the site will discharge to a separate storm sewer system, name the operator of the separate storm sewer
system (e.g. City of Raleigh municipal storm sewer).
Note: Discharge of process wastewater to receiving waters classified as public water supply WS-II
to WS-V must be approved by the Public Water Supply Section of the Division of Water
Resources. If DWR does not approve, coverage under NCG240000 cannot be granted. No new
discharges of process wastewater are permitted in receiving waters classified as WS-I or
freshwater ORW. Slrnllarly, the Dlvlslon of EnvlronrnenLal HealLh Shellfish SanlLaLlon Program
must approve process wastewater discharges to SA (shellfish) waters.

16) A wastewater treatment altematives review is required by 15A NCAC 2H.0105 (c)(2) for any new or
expanding water pollution control facility's discharge in North Carolina. You may attach additional sheets.
a) What wastewaters were considered for this alternatives review? ❑ VE ❑ RM ❑ MD
b) Connection to a Municipal or Rogional Sower Collootion System:
i) Are there existing sewer lines within a one -mile radius'? ..................................... ® Yes ❑ No
(1) If Yes, will the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) accept the wastewater? .... ❑ Yes IN
(a) If No, please attach a letter documenting that the WWTP will not accept the wastewater.
(b) If Yes, is it feasible to connect to the WWTP? Why or why not?*
c) Surface or Subsurface Disposal System (e.g., spray irrigation):
M
i) Is a surface or subsurface disposal technologically feasible (possible) ? ....................LJ Yes Xl No
Why or Why not? The city doesn't have pro e�rty to apply the runoff and capturingthe runoff would
be cost orohibitative.
ii) Is a surface or subsurface disposal system feasible to implement?* ........................... ❑ Yes X No
Why or Why not? Spray irrigation is not a feasible option for this site due to the proximity of adjacent
properties, land use constraints, and location of on site streams.
iii) What is the feasibility of employing ? subsurface or surface discharge as compared to a direct
discharge to surface waters?* Options other than direct discharge to surface waters would be cost
prohibitive. The site allows for natural filtration of runoff.
d) Direct Discharge to Surface Waters: Is discharge to surface waters the most environmentally sound
alternative of all reasonably cost-effective options of the wastewaters being considered?*... ® Yes ❑ No
i) If No, contact DEMLR's Land Application Unit to determine permitting requirements.
*Per NC rules at 15A NCAC 211.0105(c)(2). You maybe asked to provide further information to support your answers
to these questions after the initial review. Feasibility should consider initial and recurring costs.

This letter is in response to item sixteen of the permit application requesting documentation as to
why the City of Reidsville Wastewater Treatment Plant (WQ Permit NCo024881) will not be accepting
waslewaler from Llie Reidsville Yard Waste & Recovery Facility. As per NC Department Environmental
Quality requirements, the City of Reidsville staff is tasked with eliminating and/or limiting the volume of
inflow and infiltration into the treatment works. Not only is inflow and infiltration costly to treat, but
heavy rains from storm events could inundate the plant which could lead to sewerage spills and
environmental tragedy.
A collection system at the Reidsville Yard Waste & Recovery Facility that discharges to the City of
Reidsville Wastewater Treatment Plant would allow not only receive runoff from the vegetative debris
but also stormwater runoff from the large site. This could be viewed as a permit violation by NC DEQ
Water Quality Permitting staff.
Last but certainly not least, there would be an unnecessary financial burden placed on the city for
treating stormwater runoff, in additional to, constructing and maintaining a collection system for the
Reidsville Yard Waste & Recovery Facility.
Please contact me if there are any questions.
Respectfully,
