Dear Mr. Miller:
Reference your application of November 9, 1992, for Department of the Army
authorization to construct an outfall structure in connection with a
wastewater treatment facility, and a 3-inch discharge line from S.R. 133 to
the Brunswick River, approximately 4 miles south of Leland, Brunswick County,
North Carolina.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits (NWP).
Authorization, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided
for the discharge of material for backfill or bedding for utility lines,
including outfall and intake structures, provided there is no change in
pre-construction contours.
Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This
nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any
required State or local approval. You should contact Mr. John Dorney, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, [phone], to obtain the
necessary Section 401, Water Quality Certification prior to starting work.
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the NWP authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also, this
verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period, the NWP
authorization is reissued without modification or the activity complies with
any subsequent modification of the NWP authorization. If during the 2 years,
the NWP authorization expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such
that the activity would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the
NWP, activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are
under contract to commence in reliance upon the NWP will remain authorized
provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of the NWP's
expiration, modification or revocation, unless discretionary authority has
been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify, suspend, or revoke the
authorization.

DATE: March 15, 1993
SUBJECT: Division of Environmental Management 401 Water Quality
Certification Review for Mr. William B. Miller, Leland,
Brunswick County, North Carolina.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has
completed a review of the proposed project and evaluated possible
impacts on fisheries, wildlife, and wetland resources in the
project area. A site inspection was conducted on March 10, 1993.
Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661 et seq.), Section 401-b of the Clean Water Act of 1977
(as amended), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131
et seq.).
Mr. William B. Miller is requesting permit authorization to
excavate 0.20 ac of 404 wetlands adjacent to the Brunswick River
near Leland in Brunswick County. The purpose of the project is
to place approximately 4600 l.f. of PVC sewer pipe to provide a
sewage disposal system for Brunswick Cove Nursing Center.
We believe there are practical alternatives to excavating a
corridor through wetlands for placement of the sewer line. For
example, there are already in place 2, 30 ft wide corridors
traversing the same wetlands less than 0.25 mi from the Nursing
Center. One belongs to the Exxon Corp. for a buried Paraxylene
gas line and the other belongs to AT&T for a buried
Transcontinental Communications Cable. It would seem feasible to
run the sewer line from the Nursing Center to either corridor via
the road right-of-way, provided permission could be obtained from
the NC Department of Transportation (DOT), and across the
wetlands via the already disturbed corridors (one or the other)
L5 ? `Y

MEMO TO: John Dorney Page 2 March 15, 1993
provided permission could be obtained from either Exxon or AT&T.
Another alternative would be to run the sewer line from the
Nursing Center to either Jackeys or Mallory's Creeks for
discharge provided permission could be obtained from the DOT and
the NC Division of Environmental Management (DEM) for a stream
discharge permit.
We have determined the proposed project is inconsistent with
our Policies and Guidelines for Conservation of Wetlands and
Aquatic Habitat. Because there appear to be practical
alternatives to excavation in wetlands, we must recommend that
water quality certification for the project as proposed be
denied. In addition, we believe that this project is
inconsistent with the Environmental Protection Agency's Section
404(b)(1) guidelines in that the proposed project does not
constitute a water dependent activity.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this
401 Water Quality Certification application. If we can provide
further assistance, please contact NCWRC Habitat Conservation
Program Manager Dennis L. Stewart at 919-528-9886 or 919-733-

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2-16-93
The project site is located on N.C. Highway 133, approximately 3.8 miles south of Belville,
in Brunswick.County. The 270 acre tract includes 11190 feet of road frontage and extends,
from N.C. Highway 133, approximately 4,000.feet west, to the Brunswick River. The
highground portion of the tract occurs in two sections along the highway, separated a natural
drainageway. These highground plateaus extend approximately 500 - 600 feet to the west,
where the elevation drops sharply from -+ 20 feet MSL, to approximately 2.5 to 3.5 feet
MSL,. to dense wooded swamp, which 'extends the remaining .± 4,300 feet to the Brunswick
River. At the time of site inspection, there was approximately 1-2 feet of water throughout
the wooded swamp. This wide expanse of wooded swamp extends both north and south of
the property, and is considered within the flood plain of the Brunswick River. Along the
Brunswick River, there is a border of coastal wetlands, approximately 260 feet wide in the
project area. Wetland vegetation is primarily cat-tails (Typha sp.), giant cordgrass S artina
cynosuroides), reed (Phragites communis) and various sedge and- rush species, with an
occasional cypress tree (Taxodium distichum) occurring throughout the wetland border. The
Brunswick River is approximately 1200 feet wide in the project area, and is classified as SC
by the N.C. Division of Environmental Management. It is designated as Primary Nursery
Area by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries.
The Brunswick, Cove Nursing Center occupies the southwest corner of the tract. The
remainder of the highground portion of the property is comprised of the Brunswick Cove
Subdivision. There are fourteen (14) lots platted adjacent and to the west of the nursing
center, and the remaining thirty-four.(34) lots are located in the northwest portion of the
property. The nursing home has a permitted capacity of 140 beds, and includes, both food
service and laundry. Sewage treatment and disposal for the facility has been provided by a
large, dual-field, low pressure pipe (LPP) subsurface septic system. This system is
currently in a state of failure, :with wastewater ponding on the ground surface of the LPP
absorption fields. The applicant, in conjunction, with the Brunswick County Health
Department, the N.C..Division of Health. Services, and the N.C. Division of Environmental
Management has investigated the available options and alternatives to abate the failing septic
system. Subsequent investigation of adjacent property indicate that soils are unsuitable for
further expansion of the subsurface septic system. There is also inadequate space to consider
spray irrigation. Therefore, the applicant is proposing to construct a wastewater treatment
plant with discharge of treated wastewater to, the Brunswick. River. The wastewater
treatment plant capacity would be approximately 20,000 gallons per day (GPD). The system
design would be reviewed and approved through the N. C. Division of Environmental
Management, as well as, the issuance of applicable discharge permits (NPDES). The
proposed system includes, extended aeration, filters, and chlorination. The applicant
proposes to install a 2 inch, PVC, pressure discharge line, 2 1/2 feet below existing grade,
from the treatment plant to the Brunswick River (approximately 4,800 1.£). The subaqueous
discharge line would extend approximately 200 feet into the open waters area of the river.
The discharge line would intersect the water column, at the -2 feet at MLW contour, and
terminate with a 10 feet section' of 2. inch, ductile iron pipe. A diffuser would cap the end of
the pipe to. disperse the treated' wastewater into the river. The terminal end of the discharge
line would be anchored by two sets of cradle pilings (2' 6" o.c.) set 8 feet apart (see detail,
page 3 of 3).

Brunswick Cove Nursing Center

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION - Continued:
The applicant proposes to use a backhoe with large pneumatic tires on the highground and
wooded swamp areas to excavate the trench for the. discharge line. Excavated material would
be stockpiled adjacent to the trench until placement of the discharge line is completed. The
excavated material would then be used to backfill the trench. Concrete anchors would be
installed at regular intervals to prevent floating of the PVC line. The applicant proposes to
use a directional drilling machine to install the portion of the discharge line proposed through
the wetland border adjacent to the Brunswick River. The machine would subterraneanly bore
under the expanse of marsh to intersect the river bottom at approximately the -2 feet at
MLW contour. There divers and pile driving equipment would complete the discharge line
installation and anchorage.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The installation of the proposed subterranean/subaqueous discharge line would disturb
approximately 5,400 square feet of highground, approximately 19,800 square feet of wooded
swamp, and approximately 60 square feet of shallow river bottom. The total disturbed area
for the highground and wooded swamp reflects twice the area required for installation due to
the applicant's proposal to temporarily store the excavated material adjacent to the trench and
then backfill after" pipe installation. A working corridor 10-15 feet wide, cleared of trees,
will also be required to allow ingress and egress of -equipment through the swamp.
With any proposal to discharge treated wastewater into surface waters, the potential for water
quality degradation exists. Rarely do wastewater treatment facilities operate within permitted
parameters throughout the entire lifespan of the facility. Hopefully, with stringent operation,
maintenance, and monitoring requirements, the potential for non compliance discharges
would be minimal.
The construction of the proposed project would abate the serious public health threat that
currently exists at the nursing center, ponding sewage on the ground surface created by the
failing existing subsurface LPP system.
As proposed, the installation of the cradle pilings that stabilize the terminal end of the
discharge line and diffuser pipe, would constitute a .hazard to navigation during water
conditions where the structure would be slightly submerged.

ENGINEERING PROPOSAL
SEWAGE TREATMENT AND DISCHARGE SYSTEM FOR BRUNSWICK
COVE NURSING CENTER, BRUNSWICK COUNTY, N.C.
NPDES PERMIT APPLICATION NO.
N00082872
On September 30, 1991, a low pressure pipe on-site sewage
treatment system for Brunswick Cove Nursing Center was ap-
proved by the State of North Carolina, and was constructed
soon threafter. Beginning in early spring of 1992, this
system began to fail, and is now facing total failure in the
near future. Permission is therefore now being sought to con-
struct a package sewage treatment plant to replace the on-
site system and this matter has now assumed a condition of
urgency.
The proposed discharge treated wastewater to the Brunswick
River will serve the Brunswick Cove Nursing Center, located
in Brunswick County. The address of the Nursing Center is:
Brunswick Cove Nursing Center, P.O. Box 916, Highway 133,
Leland, N.C. 28451. This report is prepared by William R.
Chinnis, P.E., Route 1, Box 277, Bolivia, N.C. 28422. Tel-
ephone 919 842 2572.
The proposed treatment plant will provide extended aeration,
filters, and chlorination (tertiary treatment). Brunswick
Cove Nursing Center has a filled capacity of 140 beds, with
laundry facilities. Total daily flow of wastewater was cal-
culated as 120 gallans per day per bed, rounded to 20,000
gallons per day. No other facilities will be served by the
proposed treatment facilities, and the existing nursing
home facilities will not be expanded.
At the present time, there are not any existing sewer lines
available within a five mile radius capable of serving the
nursing center. A professional soils engineering firm was
engaged to investigate the possibility of utilizing a spray
irrigation system; however the soils were found to be unsuit-
able for this type of on-site disposal, also. (see attached
letter from S&ME soils scientists and engineers) No adjacent
land is available (residential subdivisions on either side.)
The earliest possible consideration for issuance of a dis-
charge permit will be appreciated.

Health, and
Persuant to our telephone conversation this date rela-
tive to alternative solutions to discharge for the Brunswick
Cove Nursing Center, Brunswick County:
I have attached herewith a letter from S&ME soils speci-
alists, which in my opinion precludes the option of spray
irrigation systems on land adjacent to the nursing center.
As previously stated, the area to the north of the nurs-
ing center is occupied by the Brunswick Cove Residential De-
velopment, with lots and homes sold. The adjacent land to the
south is also a residential development. Eastward of the
nursing center lies only wetlands and marsh to the Brunswick
River. A visual on-site examination of the land across High-
way N.C. 133 indicated that the soils in this area were also
unsuitable for on-site sewage disposal; also, it is my infor-
mation that this land is not available for sale.
In view of the above, and the fact that there are no av-
ailable sewers within a reasonable distance from the site,
discharge to the Brunswick River is the only alternative
remaining for treated sewage disposal from the nursing center,
in my opinion.
If further information is needed, please let me know.

Reference: Brunswick Cove Nursing Home
Brunswick County, N.C.
S&ME Project No. 1054-92-050
Dear Mr. Chinnis:
Pursuant to our conversation on November 13, 1992 regarding the referenced site, it is our opinion
that the remaining land located behind the nursing home (including the portion within lots 38 through 51 of
the Brunswick Cove Subdivision) will be severely limited for spray irrigation disposal of the wastewater
stream generated by the nursing home. This opinion is based on site investigations performed by both
representatives of S&ME Inc. and Dennis Osborne & Associates. Two restrictive horizons have been
identified at the site at depths of approximately 12 to 18 inches and at approximately 36 inches. The first
horizon consists of silica cemented sand. The second horizon consists of sandy clay that is underlain by
marine clay to a depth greater than 20 feet, as confirmed by three soil borings drilled at the site. These
conditions suggest a low loading rate. The low loading rate, combined with the large buffers associated with
spray irrigation systems, and the high wastewater volume create a situation where insufficient land exists
for spray irrigation.
Please call us if you have any questions or if we can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
S&ME, Inc.

NARRATIVE
NPDES APPLICATION
BRUNSWICK COVE NURSING CENTER
The proposed sewage treatment and discharge system
to serve Brunswick Cove Nursing Center is briefly des-
cribed as follows:
It is proposed to install a "package" extended aeration
sewage treatment plant with tertiary treatment, filters,
and other features necessary to accomplish design dis-
charge limitations for a flow of .02 MGD effluent per
day. Prior to entering the treatment plant,the effluent
will be pre-treated by two existing septic tanks and one
grease interceptor tank. Proposed discharge limitations
are shown on the attached pages 2 and 3, and a location
map is shown on page 4
ALTERNATE PLANS CONSIDERED
Three alternate methods of sewage disposal for
Brunswick Cove Nursing Center were considered, and for
each of the alternatives, the associated costs were
prohibitive.
1. Pump to the existing treatment plant-_serving.?C-i?eekside
Condominiums, one mile north of the nursing center
on N.C. Highway 133. This plan would necessitate the
purchasing of the entire development at a prohibitive
cost.
2. Pump to the Town of Belville's sewer plant. This
would involve pumping for a distance of approximately
5 miles, along Highway 133 , SR 1551 and SR 1524 to the
plant, again presenting unacceptable costs.
3. Utilize on-site sewage disposal,The exi-,tine?*low-
pressure system serving the nursing center has failed,
and it is the opinion of two consulting soils firms
that the available soils for any type of on-site dis-
al are unsuitable.

BRUNSWICK COVE NURSING CENTER
The proposed sewage treatment and discharge system
to serve Brunswick Cove Nursing Center is briefly des-
cribed as follows:
It is proposed to install a "package" extended aeration
sewage treatment plant with tertiary treatment, filters,
and other features necessary to accomplish design dis-
charge limitations for a flow of 16,.800 gallons per- ..-
day. Prior to entering the treatment plant,the effluent
will be pre-treated by two existing septic_tanks and one
grease interceptor tank. Proposed discharge limitations
are shown on the attached pages 2 and 3, and a location
map is shown on page 4
ALTERNATE PLANS CONSIDERED
Three alternate methods of sewage disposal for
Brunswick Cove Nursing Center were considered, and for
each of the alternatives, the associated costs were
prohibitive.
1. Pump to the existing treatment plant.-_serving.:Creekside
Condominiums, one mile north of the nursing center
on N.C. Highway 133. This plan would necessitate the
purchasing of the entire development at a prohibitive
cost.
2. Pump to the Town of Belville's sewer plant. This
would involve pumping for a distance of'approximately
5 miles, along Highway 133 , SR 1551 and SR 1524 to the
plant, again presenting unacceptable costs.
3. Utilize on-size sewage disposal.The existing low-
pressure system serving the nursing center has failed,
and it is the opinion of two consulting soils firms
that the available soils for any type of on-site dis-
al are unsuitable.

all of the non-discharge options available? Please provide
regional perspective for each option evaluated.
Spray Irrigation: A soil scientist was employed to evaluate
this alternative. Soils were investigated on the nursing home
site and within the adjacent Brunswick Cove Subdivision.It was
determined that there was not a sufficient amount of area with
suitable soils. Restrictive horizons were encountered at 12 to
18 inches and at 36 inches below the surface. A brief
evaluation of the forest land across N.C. Highway indicated
that it was also not suitable and probably not available.

installed a treatment plant but has not yet begun operation
and has not installed a collection system. This would
necessitate the installation of approximately 5 miles of force
main. This may be a reasonable alternative in the future.
Subsurface: The existing subsurface system is failing and
repairs have not been successful. Soils in the vic-nity have
been determined to be no better than, and generally less
suitable than, the soils on the site of the existing system.
Other disposal options: An existing development approximately
one mile from the nursing home has a plant which discharges to
Jackeys Creek. There would probably be no benefit to
increasing the discharge to this small tidal tributary to
Brunswick River.
5. Other Special Items: No
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The nursing home is currently served by a failing septic
tank system which is regulated by the Brunswick County Health
Department. There appear to be no viable alternatives for
onsite disposal. The Health Department is pressing the
applicant to correct the problem.
There are three existing permitted discharges to the
Brunswick River within 3.5 miles of the proposed outfall. The
Town of Belville has not yet begun operation of their 0.4 MGD
plant. It is anticipated that the nursing home will connect to
this system when the collection system is available.
Although water quality in the lower Cape Fear Basin is
somewhat depressed, it is not anticipated that the proposed
discharge will have a significant adverse impact if proper
treatment is provided. It is recommended that a permit
containing approved effluent limits be prepared and placed at
public notice. If significant adverse public comments are not
received, it is recommended that a permit be issued for a
period of time consistent with the basinwide permitting
strategy.

ENGINEERING PROPOSAL
SEWAGE TREATMENT AND DISCHARGE SYSTEM FOR BRUNSWICK -
COVE NURSING CENTER, BRUNSWICK COUNTY, N.C.
NPDES PERMIT APPLICATION NO.
NO0082872 // ,v,? ?- .
On September 30, 1991, a low pressure pipe on-site sewage
treatment system for Brunswick Cove Nursing Center was ap-
proved by the State of North Carolina, and was constructed
soon threafter. Beginning in early spring of 1992, this
system began to fail, and is now facing total failure in the
near future. Permission is therefore now being sought to con-
struct a package sewage treatment plant to replace the on-
site system and this matter has now assumed a condition of
urgency.
The proposed discharge treated wastewater to the Brunswick
River will serve the Brunswick Cove Nursing Center, located
in Brunswick County. The address of the Nursing Center is:
Brunswick Cove Nursing Center, P.O. Box 916, Highway 133,
Leland, N.C. 28451. This report is prepared by William R.
Chinnis, P.E., Route 1, Box 277, Bolivia, N.C. 28422. Tel-
ephone 919 842 2572.
The proposed treatment.plant will provide extended aeration,
filters, and chlorination (tertiary treatment). Brunswick
Cove Nursing Center has a filled capacity of 140 beds, with
laundry facilities. Total daily flow of wastewater was cal-
culated as 120 gallans per day per bed, rounded to 20,000
gallons per day. No other facilities will be served by the
proposed treatment facilities, and the existing nursing
home facilities will not be expanded.
At the present time, there are not any existing sewer lines
,;ailable within a five-mile radius capable of serving the
nursing center. A professional soils engineering firm was
engaged to investigate the possibility of utilizing a spray
irrigation system; however the soils were found to be unsuit-
able for this type of on-site disposal, also. (see attached
letter from S&ME soils scientists and engineers) No adjacent
land is available (residential subdivisions on either side.)
The earliest possible consideration for issuance of a dis-
charge permit will be appreciated.

Brunswick County, N.C.
S&ME Project No. 1054-92-050
Dear Mr. Chinnis:
Pursuant to our conversation on November 13, 1992 regarding the referenced site, it is our opinion
that the remaining land located behind the nursing home (including the portion within lots 38 through 51 of
the Brunswick Cove Subdivision) will be severely limited for spray irrigation disposal of the wastewater
stream generated by the nursing home. This opinion is based on site investigations performed by both
representatives of S&ME Inc. and Dennis Osborne & Associates. Two restrictive horizons have been
identified at the site at depths of approximately 12 to 18 inches and at approximately 36 inches. The first
horizon consists of silica cemented sand. The second horizon consists of sandy clay that is underlain by
marine clay to a depth greater than 20 feet, as confirmed by three soil borings drilled at the site. These
conditions suggest a low loading rate. The low loading rate, combined with the large buffers associated with
spray irrigation systems, and the high wastewater volume create a situation where insufficient land exists
for spray irrigation.
Please call us if you have any questions or if we can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
S&ME, Inc.

NARRATIVE
NPDES APPLICATION
BRUNSWICK COVE NURSING CENTER
The proposed sewage treatment and discharge system
to serve Brunswick Cove Nursing Center is briefly des-
cribed as follows:
It is proposed to install a "package" extended aeration
sewage treatment plant with tertiary treatment, filters,
and other features necessary to accomplish design dis-
charge limitations for a flow of 16,.800 gallons per_ -
day. Prior to entering the treatment plant,the effluent
will be pre-treated by two existing septic. tanks and one
grease interceptor tank. Proposed discharge limitations
are shown on the attached pages 2 and 3, and a location
map is shown on page 4
ALTERNATE PLANS CONSIDERED
Three alternate methods of sewage disposal for
Brunswick Cove Nursing Center were considered, and for
each of the alternatives, the associated costs were
prohibitive.
1. Pump to the existing treatment plant;:: serving.:Ci?eekside
Cond6miniums, one mile north of the nursing center
on N.C. Highway 133. This plan would necessitate the
purchasing of the entire development at a prohibitive
cost.
2. Pump to the Town of Belville's sewer plant. This
would involve pumping for a distance of approximately
5 miles, along Highway 133 , SR 1551 and SR 1524 to the
plant, again presenting unacceptable costs.
3. Utilize on-size sewage disposal.The-existing low-
pressure system serving the nursing center has failed,
and it is the opinion of two consulting soils firms
that the available soils for any type of on-site dis-
al are unsuitable.

Date: NA
Submission of Plans and Specifications:
Begin Construction:
Complete Construction:
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: Has the facility evaluated
all of the non-discharge options available? Please provide
regional perspective for each option evaluated.
Spray Irrigation: A soil scientist was employed to evaluate
this alternative. Soils were investigated on the nursing home
site and within the adjacent Brunswick Cove Subdivision. It was
determined that there was not a sufficient amount of area with
suitable soils. Restrictive horizons were encountered at 12 to
18 inches and at 36 inches below the surface. A brief
evaluation of the forest land across N.C. Highway indicated
that it was also not suitable and probably not available.

Subsurface: The existing subsurface system is failing and
repairs have not been successful. Soils in the vicinity have
been determined to be no better than, and generally less
suitable than, the soils on the site of the existing system.
Other disposal options: An existing development approximately
one mile from the nursing home has a plant which discharges to
Jackeys Creek. There would probably be no benefit to-
increasing the discharge to this small tidal tributary to
Brunswick River.
5. Other Special Items: No
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The nursing home is currently served by a failing septic
tank system which is regulated by the Brunswick County Health
Department. There appear to be no viable alternatives for
onsite disposal. The Health Department is pressing the
applicant to correct the problem.
There are three existing permitted discharges to the
Brunswick River within 3.5 miles of the proposed outfall. The
Town of Belville has not yet begun operation of their 0.4 MGD
plant. It is anticipated that the nursing home will connect to
this system when the collection system is available.
Although water quality in the lower Cape Fear Basin is
somewhat depressed, it is not anticipated that the proposed
discharge will have a significant adverse impact if proper
treatment is provided. It is recommended that a permit
containing approved effluent limits be prepared and placed at
public notice. If significant adverse public comments are not
received, it is recommended that a permit be issued for a
period of time consistent with the basinwide permitting
strategy.

Dear Mr. Beck:
DEC 11 1992
Wilmington Regional Office
QEM
Persuant to our telephone conversation this date zela-
tive to alternative solutions to discharge for the Brunswick
Cove Nursing Center, Brunswick County:
I have attached herewith a letter from S&ME soils speci-
alists, which in my opinion precludes the option of spray
irrigation systems on land adjacent to the nursing center.
As previously stated, the area to the north of the nurs-
ing center is occupied by the Brunswick Cove Residential De
velopment, with lots and homes sold. The adjacent land to the
south is also a residential development. Eastward of the
nursing center lies only wetlands and marsh to the Brunswick
River. A visual on-site examination of the land across High-
way N.C. 133 indicated that the soils in this area were also
unsuitable for on-site sewage disposal; also, it is my infor-
mation that this land is not available for sale.
In view of the above, and the fact that there are no av-
ailable sewers within a reasonable distance from the site-,
discharge to the Brunswick River is the only alternative
remaining for treated sewage disposal from the nursing center,
in my opinion.
If further information is needed, please let me know.
Sincerely,
William R. Chinnis

Reference: Brunswick Cove Nursing Home
Brunswick County, N.C.
S&ME Project No. 1054-92-050
Dear Mr. Chinnis:
Pursuant to our conversation on November 13, 1992 regarding the referenced site, it is our opinion
that the remaining land located behind the nursing home (including the portion within lots 38 through 51 of
the Brunswick Cove Subdivision) will be severely limited for spray irrigation disposal of the wastewater
stream generated by the nursing home. This opinion is based on site investigations performed by both
representatives of S&ME Inc. and Dennis Osborne & Associates. Two restrictive horizons have been
identified at the site at depths of approximately 12 to 18 inches and at approximately 36 inches. The first
horizon consists of silica cemented sand. The second horizon consists of sandy clay that is underlain by
marine clay to a depth greater than 20 feet, as confirmed by three soil borings drilled at the site. These
conditions suggest a low loading rate. The low loading rate, combined with the large buffers associated with
spray irrigation systems, and the high wastewater volume create a situation where insufficient land exists
for spray irrigation.
Please call us if you have any questions or, if we can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
S&ME, inc.

ENGINEERING PROPOSAL
SEWAGE TREATMENT AND DISCHARGE SYSTEM FOR BRUNSWICK
COVE NURSING CENTER BRUNSWICK COUNTY N.C.
NPDES PERMIT APPLICATION NO. ,-...,
NC0082872
On September 30, 1991, a low pressure pipe on-site sewage
treatment system for Brunswick Cove Nursing Center was ap-
proved by the State of North Carolina, and was constructed
soon threafter. Beginning in early spring of 1992, this
system began to fail, and is now facing total failure in the
near future. Permission is therefore now being sought to con-
struct a package sewage treatment plant to replace the on-
site system and this matter has now assumed a condition of
urgency.
The proposed discharge treated wastewater to the Brunswick
River will serve the Brunswick Cove Nursing Center, located
in Brunswick County. The address of the Nursing Center is:
Brunswick Cove Nursing Center, P.O. Box 916, Highway 133,
Leland, N.C. 28451. This report is prepared by William R.
Chinnis, P.E., Route 1, Box 277, Bolivia, N.C. 28422. Tel-
ephone 919 842 2572.
The proposed treatment plant will provide extended aeration,
filters, and chlorination (tertiary treatment). Brunswick
Cove Nursing Center has a filled capacity of 140 beds, with
laundry facilities. Total daily flow of wastewater was cal-
culated as 120 gallans per day per bed, rounded to 20,000
gallons per day. No other facilities will be served by the
proposed treatment facilities, and the existing nursing
home facilities will not be expanded.
At the present time, there are not any existing sewer lines
Available within a five mile radius capable of serving the
nursing center. A professional soils engineering firm was
engaged to investigate the possibility of utilizing a spray
irrigation system; however the soils were found to be unsuit-
able for this type of on-site disposal, also. (see attached
letter from S&ME soils scientists and engineers) No adjacent
land is available (residential subdivisions on either side.)

Reference: Brunswick Cove Nursing Home
Brunswick County, N.C.
S&ME Project No. 1054-92-050
Dear Mr. Chinnis:
Pursuant to our conversation on November 13, 1992 regarding the referenced site, it is our opinion
that the remaining land located behind the nursing home (including the portion within lots 38 through 51 of
the Brunswick Cove Subdivision) will be severely limited for spray irrigation disposal of the wastewater
stream generated by the nursing home. This opinion is based on site, investigations performed by both
representatives of S&ME Inc. and Dennis Osborne & Associates. Two restrictive horizons have been
identified at the site at depths of approximately 12 to 18 inches and at approximately 36 inches. The first
horizon consists of silica cemented sand. The second horizon consists of sandy clay that is underlain by
marine clay to a depth greater than 20 feet, as confirmed by three soil borings drilled at the site. These
conditions suggest a low loading rate. The low loading rate, combined with the large buffers associated with.
spray irrigation systems, and the high wastewater volume create a situation where insufficient land exists
for spray irrigation.
Please call us if you have any questions or if we can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
S&ME, Inc.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
D
W-86M
Enclosed is the application of the Brunswick Cove Nursing Center,
represented by Mr. William Miller, for Department of the Army authorization
and a State Water Quality Certification to place fill material in wetlands and
place a diffuser in the Brunswick River associated with construction of a
package wastewater plant and discharge line, 3.8 miles south of Belville,
Brunswick County, North Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies your
acceptance of a valid request for certification in accordance with Section
325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law.
A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification
has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State
action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by May 4, 1993, the District Engineer will deem that waiver
has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Rudolf Schiener, Wilmington
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
ne Wri
