7 <br />spray irrigation system in order to dispose of wastewater. The spray <br />irrigation system is identical to the originally proposed plant in <br />that it uses two 12,500 gallon package units to treat the wastewater. <br />The only difference is that rather than discharging the treated <br />wastewater into the creek, it is sprayed on a field. Credle began <br />work on the renewal application for the NPDES permit and the <br />application for the spray irrigation system (system, herein) in <br />conjunction with the DEM and the Orange County Health Department <br />(Health Department, herein) to develop the design for the system. <br />This process included several designs and redesigns of the system as <br />well as a consideration of alternative locations for the field. <br />Credle began the process in August, 1989, and after extensive <br />consultation with DEM and the Health Department, approval was granted <br />for the system and the site. DEM issued Permit No. WQ0004370 to Mrs. <br />Dorothy C. Bane, Stonegate Mobile Home Park Wastewater Treatment and <br />Spray Irrigation System, Orange County on May 31, 1991 (system permit, <br />herein). A copy is attached. The system as approved will be located <br />on a 19.86 acre tract of land owned by Mrs. Bane which is part of the <br />same contiguous tract on which Stonegate Mobile Home Park is being <br />constructed. <br />The system has a maximum capacity`of 25,000 GPD (gallons of <br />wastewater per day), a decrease from the 32,;400 GPD allowed under the <br />previous NPDES permits. As a result, the number of units in the park <br />has been decreased from 114 as shown in the original site plan to the <br />104 units shown on the revised Site Plan dated 9/16/91 by Credle as <br />attached. The maximum capacity is calculated at a rate of 120 GPD per <br />2 <br />
