5. Act or "the Act": The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act,
as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
6. Concentration Measurements
a. Monthly Average Concentration: The sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The
daily concentration value in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day.
b. Monthly Average Concentration for Fecal Coliform: The geometric mean of the counts
for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" in Part I of the permit.
c. Daily Maximum Concentration: The concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
"Daily Maximum" in Part I of the permit.
7. Grab Samples: Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually.
8. Calculations
a. Geometric Mean: The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the
number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic
mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean,
values of zero (0)shall be considered to be one (1).
9. Hazardous Substance: Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section
311 of the Clean Water Act.
10.Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.

means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent.
SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS
1. Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the
volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily
shall be collected on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the period the
sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in this permit
and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other wastestream,
body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without notification to and
the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority.
2. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published
pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq., the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations

Dear Permittee:
You are receiving this notice because you currently own a property covered under the subject
General Permit for the discharge of domestic wastewater. NCG550000 will expire on July 31, 2007.
Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require
that permit renewal applications be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit.
To satisfy this requirement, the Division must receive a renewal request postmarked no later than
February 1, 2007.
The Certificate of Coverage (CoC) specific to your property was last issued on February 6,
2006. The Division needs information from you to determine if coverage under NCG550000 is still
necessary.
➢ If your property still has a wastewater system like the ones described in the enclosed
Technical Bulletin, you must renew the subject CoC. Complete the enclosed form and
submit it to the address on the form.
➢ If you are not sure what type of system your property has, contact Larry Frost in the NC
DENR Asheville Regional Office at. That person [or other staff members] can help you
determine if you should renew your CoC.
➢ If you know that your property no longer discharges wastewater, contact me at the
address or phone number listed below to request rescission of the CoC.
➢ This information request does not pertain to the Annual Fee of$50.00 billed
separately by the Division's Budget Office. No money is required for this
procedure. The Annual Fee is like the fee you annually pay the DMV for the sticker on
your vehicle's license plate. Renewal of your CoC is like the renewal of your Driver's
License [ca. every five years].
➢ If you have already mailed a renewal request, you may disregard this notice.

Dear NCDENR,
Please accept the-attached documentation as application for a certificate of coverage
under General permit NCG550000 for my property on Meadowbrook Drive in Candler,
NC. As supporting documents for the application you will find the attached:
1. A letter of denial for a traditional septic and distribution from the Buncombe
County Health Center.
2. A letter of denial from the NC Department of Environment and Natural
Resources.
3. A letter from a NC licensed soil scientist also stating unsuitability.
In addition, I have enclosed a vicinity map with driving directions; a Buncombe county
property map with my proposed site plan; and drawings of a proposed treatment system.
Finally, I have also attached a letter from an owner of the adjacent property denying a
septic evaluation and easement. The entire NE border of my property is owned by the
state of NC for Interstate 40.
While homes in this development are serviced with public water(no wells),there are no
public sewer lines. All properties are serviced by septic systems.
Your kind consideration of my request is appreciated, and I look forward to your
response. I have discussed this with Larry Frost form the state's local office, and his
initial evaluation of the site was positive for a sand filtration system, with ample water
shed in Bryson Branch.
Sincerely yours,

ft Soil and Site Evaluations of Meadowbrook Road parcel(s)-pin#8697-08-77-5573 17332
Dear Mr.Kilpin,
After site and soil examinations of the above referenced property, I am in agreement with Buncombe
County and State Environmental Heath officials that the site,is unsuitable for the placement of an on-
site wastewater system. This is due to shallow soil wetness conditions/redoximorphic features. The
site O brit ains mixed alluvial sediments from local creek deposits and is fairly low lying. Furthermore, it
does not appear that the site is suitable for the placement of a surface applied system for these same
reasons (soil wetness and redoximorphic features ranging from at grade to 6 - 10 inches in most
areas). Please contact me if I may be of further assistance or if any questions arise.
Sincerely,
ej

Re: Application for Improvement/Authorization to Construct for Meadowbrook Road
Parcel Identification No. 8697-08-77-5573
Dear Mr.Kilpin&Ms. Hopkins:
The Buncombe County Health Center, Environmental Health Division on August 9, 2005
evaluated the above-referenced property at the site designated on the plat/site plan that
accompanied your application. According to your application the site is to serve a 3-bedroom
residence with a design wastewater flow of 360 gallons per day. The evaluation was done in
accordance with the laws and rules governing wastewater systems in North Carolina General
Statute 130A-333 and related statutes and Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina
Administrative Code,Rule. 1900 and related rules.
Based on the criteria set out in Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina Administrative
Code, Rules .1940 through .1948, the evaluation indicated that the site is UNSUITABLE for a
ground absorption sewage system. Therefore, your request for an improvement permit is
DENIED. The site is unsuitable based on the following:
Unsuitable soil topography and/or landscape position(Rule .1940)
Unsuitable soil characteristics (structure or clay mineralogy) (Rule .1941)
X Unsuitable soil wetness condition(Rule .1942)
X_Unsuitable soil depth(Rule .1943)
Presence of restrictive horizon(Rule .1944)
X Insufficient space for septic system and repair area(Rule .1945)
Unsuitable for meeting required setbacks(Rule .1950)
Other(Rule .1946)
The site evaluation included consideration of possible site modifications, and modified, innovative
or alternative systems. However, the Buncombe County Health Center has determined that none of
the above options will overcome the conditions on this site. A possible option might be a system
designed to dispose of sewage to another area of suitable soil or off-site to additional property.
The Buncombe County Health Center does not discriminate on the basis of race,color,national origin,sex,religion,age or disability in employment or the provision of services.

(2)
A site classified as UNSUITABLE may be classified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE if
written documentation is provided that meets the requirements of Rule .1948(d). A copy of this
-rule is enclosed. You may hire a consultant to assist you You if wish to
Y Y try to develop a plan under
which your site could be reclassified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE.
You have a right to an informal review of this decision. You may request an informal review by the
soil scientist or environmental health supervisor at the Buncombe County Health Center. You may
also request an informal review by the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources
regional soil specialist. A request for informal review by the regional soil specialist must be made
in writing to the Buncombe County Health Center.
You also have a right to a formal appeal of this decision. To pursue a formal appeal, you must file a
petition for a contested case hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Center,

Enc: (Copy of Rule .1948)

.1948 SITE CLASSIFICATION
(a) Sites classified as SUITABLE may be utilized for a ground'absorption sewage
treatment and disposal system consistent with these Rules. A suitable
classification generally indicates soil and site conditions favorable for the
operation of a ground absorption sewage treatment and disp%al"system or have
slight limitations that are readily overcome by proper design and installation.
(b) Sites classified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE may be utilized for a ground
absorption sewage treatment and disposal system consistent with these Rules but
have moderate l imitations. S ites c lassified P rovisionally S uitable require some
modifications and careful planning, design, and installation in order for a ground
absorption sewage treatment and disposal system to function satisfactorily.
(c) Sites classified UNSUITABLE have severe limitations for the installation and use
of a properly functioning ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal
system. An improvement permit shalt not be issued for a site which is classified
as UNSUITABLE. However, where a site is UNSUITABLE, it may be
reclassified PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE if a special investigation indicates
that a modified or alternative system can be installed in accordance with Rules
.1956 or.1957 of this Section.
(d) A site classified as UNSUITABLE may be used for a ground absorption sewage
treatment and disposal system .specifically identified in Rules .195.5, .1956, or
.1957 of this Section -or a system approved under Rule .1969 if written
documentation, including engineering, hydrogeologic, geologic or studiesi.
indicates to the local health department that the proposed system can be expected
to function satisfactorily. Such sites shall be reclassified as PROVISIONALLY
SUITABLE if the local health department determines that the substantiating data
indicate that:
(1) a ground absorption system can be installed so that the effluent
will be non-pathogenic, non-infectious, non-toxic, and non-
hazardous;
(2) the effluent will not contaminate groundwater or surface water;
and
(3) the effluent will not. be exposed on the ground surface or be
discharged to surface waters where it could come in contact with
people, animals,or vectors.
The State shall review the substantiating data if requested by the local health
department.

Regarding the General Permit(NCG550000) for Single Family Residences:
When does my permit expire and how do I renew it?
The expiration date of the permit is on the first page of the General Permit. This General
Permit expires on July 31, 2012. Approximately 180 days prior the expiration of the General
Permit, you will receive a renewal notice in the mail from the Division.
Key Permit Requirements To Remember
• Annual sampling of the effluent from the system is required.
• The parameters to be sampled can be found in Part I, Section A. A North Carolina state
certified laboratory should be contacted to perform the analytical monitoring. A list of North
Carolina certified laboratories can be obtained by looking in the telephone directory yellow
pages under"laboratories—testing" or by calling the Division of Water Quality Asheville
Regional Office at 828-296-4500.
• All samples should be collected before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other
wastestream, water or substance. (Part II, Section DA)
• The permittee shall give notice to the Division of any planned physical alterations or additions
to the system that could significantly increase the quantity of pollutants discharged or
introduce new pollutants to the discharge. These alterations include any types of residence/
facility expansions. (Part II, Section E:3)
• Submission of monitoring reports is NOT required. All monitoring information must be retained
on site for a period of 3 years. (Part 11, Section E:1)
Does a North Carolina state certified lab need to be used to analyze samples?
Yes, a North Carolina certified lab must be used to perform analytical monitoring. The only
exception to this rule is when measuring the value of pH. These pH values should be measured in
the field because they may change considerably between when the sample is pulled and it is
analyzed at the laboratory.
Operation and Maintenance
In order to protect water quality and to ensure proper operation of domestic wastewater systems,
the following measures should be taken:
• Check the septic tank every year to see if solids should be removed.
• Have the septic tank pumped out every three to five years. Contact a local septic service/repair
company from the yellow pages.
• Inspect disinfection and dechlorination equipment(if applicable)weekly to confirm proper
operation.
• If a chlorinator and/or dechlorinator is installed, replace tablets whenever necessary.

Permit: NCG551325 Owner-Facility: 5 Meadowbrook Drive
Inspection Date: 0 311 8/2 01 1 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
Tips for Maintaining Your Septic Tank
The septic tank is usually a watertight concrete box buried in the ground outside the house.
Wastewaters from the house, including the toilets, shower, bathtub,washing machine and
dishwasher flow into the tank. Heavier solid materials settle to the bottom and the liquid flows
out of the tank into a soil drainfield. Both the septic tank and drainfield must be properly
maintained for the system to work correctly for many years. Some tips for maintaining your
septic system are:
• Do not put too much water into the septic system. Try to conserve water wherever possible.
• Do not add materials such as chemicals, sanitary napkins, or other foreign objects.
• Restrict the use of your garbage disposal.
• Do not pour fats, oils or grease (FOGs) down the drain.
• Have the solids pumped out of the septic tank every 3-5 years.
• Keep automobiles and heavy equipment off of the septic tank and drain field.
• Keep the area free of heavy vegetation, brush, bushes or trees, etc. Maintain grass over the
area.
Chlorination and Dechlorination Tablets
• If the treatment system has a chlorinator or dechlorinator, it is important that there is an
adequate supply of tablets to ensure proper disinfection. There will usually be a white PVC pipe
sticking up from the chlorinator/dechlorinator where the tablets should be inserted.
• Ensure that the chlorine tablets are making contact with the wastewater. Moisture can cause
them to swell up and clog the feeder tube. If this happens, shake the feeder tube or use a pipe
/rod to dislodge the swollen tablets.
• Tablets can be obtained from most plumbing or chemical supply stores'Make sure that the tablets
are certified for wastewater use. Chlorine tablets are NOT the same type of chlorine used for
swimming pools.
Some of the signs that your septic system may be having problems are:
• Sewage backing up into your toilets, tubs or sinks.
• Slowly draining fixtures; particularly after it has rained.
• The smell of raw sewage accompanied by soggy soil over the drainfield.
• Sewage discharging over the ground or in nearby ditches or woods. If you see any of these
signs, contact a septic repair company from the yellow pages in your area.
Right-of-Way
Issuance of this general permit does not relieve the permittee from obtaining all necessary
right-of-way or easement rights to discharge wastewater on or across another property.
What If I Sell My Property?
The Division views changes of name or ownership as a minor modification and requires the
Director's approval. Name and ownership changes require you to complete a Name/Ownership Change
Form. The forms are available by contacting the NPDES Permitting Program at(919) 807-6300.
