In response to case number LV-2015-0245, Wilderness NC, Inc. has completed the
following:
In July we repaired an air leak in the main airline to the aeration tank.
In August 2015 the BOD levels were within range and we thought that we had the
problem with the high BOD levels corrected.
In September 2015 the BOD levels were again high and we immediately contacted Jim
Cheshire from Research & Analytical Labs trying to find the cause of the current high
BOD levels. Samples for BOD were taken from different locations from the pond and the
plant. We found the high BOD levels where we were pumping the water from the pond
close to the influent and at the bottom of the pond.
In October 2015, we were still showing a high BOD level, so, on November 6, 2015
Research & Analytical Labs started a 4 week in plant monitoring program (attached).
We have been aggressively working to rectify the problem and get our plant back into
compliance. We are currently spending extra on the study and lab results to determine
where the problem is. We are unsure at this time of the amount that we will spend in
order to get the plant in compliance.
If you have any questions feel free to contact David Perdue at 336-247-3113.

Ronnie D. Bolt

In response to the Notice of Violation (#N0V-2015-LV-0636), Wilderness NC, Inc. has
completed the following:
In July we repaired an air leak in the main airline to the aeration tank.
We are currently working with Jim Eshirl from Research & Analytical Labs trying to find

pumping the water from the pond close to the influent and at the bottom of the pond.
We moved the pump line to the far end of the pond where the drain line is at, this
would be the same as a 54 day polishing pond per the permit.

Dear Mr. Bolt:
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
On May 5, 2015, Jenifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation
Inspection at Wilderness N.C.'s Wastewater Treatment Facilities. Mr. David Perdue, ORC, was present
during the inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on -site inspection of the treatment facilities
and a review of facility files and self -monitoring data. The following is a summary of findings during the
inspection:
• A review of the self -monitoring data since the last inspection did not reveal any permit limit violations.
• Records were organized and current, with lab data correctly correlating with data submitted on the
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs). There was one pH reading that could not be verified, due to the

Overall, a great inspection. Only one minor issue, as noted below:
Original data (on tag) was missing for one pH reading. Be careful to save all tags that data is recorded
on (with date & sampler initials), so that data on DMR can be traced back to original data. This is to
protect Wilderness should questions ever arise about validity of data on DMRs.

Dear Mr. Bolt:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
On June 3, 2014, Jenifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation
Inspection at Wilderness N.C.'s Wastewater Treatment Facilities. Mr. David Perdue, ORC, was present during
the inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on -site inspection of the treatment facilities and a review
of facility files and self -monitoring data. The following is a summary of findings during the inspection:
• A review of the self -monitoring data since the last inspection revealed Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
permit limit violations in September 2013. These were addressed through the Division's regular monthly
enforcement program.
• Records were organized and current, with lab data correctly correlating with data submitted on the Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs).
• The plant appeared to be functioning properly. No problems were noted during the inspection.
• No negative impacts to surface waters were observed.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for further detail. Should you have any questions please contact
Jenifer Carter in our Winston-Salem Regional Office at [phone].

Secretary
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft very
carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft
permit contains a number of changes in its terms from those found in your current permit. A summary
of those changes follows:
• Anew condition requiring electronic reporting of data collected pursuant to the terms of this permit
has been added.
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs)
and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees
must submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Division
anticipates that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation.
The requirement to begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the. NC DWR's
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has been added to your
NPDES permit. [See Condition A. (4.)] For information on eDMR, registering for eDMR and
obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit the following web page:

Dear Mr. Bolt:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
On June 24, 2013, Jenifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation
Inspection at Wilderness N.C.'s Wastewater Treatment Facilities. Mr. David Perdue, ORC, was present during the
inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on -site inspection of the treatment facilities and a review of
facility files and self -monitoring data.
A review of the self -monitoring data since the last inspection did not reveal any permit limit violations. The
following is a summary of findings during the inspection.
• Records were organized and current, with lab data correctly correlating with data submitted on the Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs).
• The plant appeared to be functioning properly. No problems were noted during the inspection, though it was
suggested that Mr. Perdue begin monitoring Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and sludge depth (with a sludge judge) regularly
throughout the plant. This will help him to become more familiar with how the plant operates and, more importantly,
enable him to better trouble -shoot in the future.
• No negative impacts to surface waters were observed. Mr. Perdue noted the construction of a beaver dam
downstream of the effluent, which has caused the creek to back up to a point above the upstream sampling
point. Fortunately, the effluent discharge pipe is elevated above the flood level.
Should you have any questions please contact Jenifer Carter in our Winston-Salem Regional Office at (336) 771-
4957.

David obtained his operator license in order to operate this plant. He would be wise to begin measuring at
least DO in the aeration basin, at a minimum at the inflow and outflow sections of the tank. This would allow
him to become more familiar with 'normal' conditions, and help with future trouble -shooting. It is also
suggested that he invest in a sludge judge in order to gauge sludge blanket levels throughout the plant.

General Overview
The wastewater treatment plant at Wilderness -NC, Inc., SFD/64 Lumber plant treats
approximately 2000 gallons per day. The treatment system consist of an aeration
chamber, pump tank, polishing pond, recirculating sand filter, tablet chlorination and
dechlorination. Wastewater flows from the plant into the aeration chamber via gravity.
After aeration, wastewater flows either to the pump tank or the polishing pond. During
normal operation (April to October), wastewater flows from the aeration chamber to the
pump tank, and them pumped to the recirculating sand filter. Wastewater is diverted to
the pond during winter months (November to March) to avoid high ammonia typical
during winter months. Water form the pond is returned to the pump tank at
approximately the same rate. From the pump tank, wastewater is pumped into the
recirculating sand filter. Effluent from the sand filter is split 4 to 1 with 4/5'j' of the flow
being returned to the pump tank and 1/5 h being discharged. The North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, NPDS Permit No. NC0023604,
permit the discharge of the effluent.
This Operation and Maintenance (O&M) manual intends to set forth guidelines and
procedures for the wastewater treatment system. OST based these guidelines on the
NPDES seasonal effluent limitations and past experiences with system performances.
Occasionally, this O&M manual may need to be updated to comply with effluent
requirements. A system flow land construction diagram is included with this O&M
manual.

Diverting Flow to Polishing Pond
Under normal operating conditions (April to October), wastewater flows from the
aeration chamber to the pump tank. During this operating period, ammonia effluent
limits (per the NPDES permit) are 2.0 mg/1 (monthly average). The ammonia effluent
limits from November to March are increased to 4.0 mg/1 (monthly average).
Historically, high ammonia results are seen in the winter months. Therefore, beginning
on November, flow should be diverted to incorporate the polishing pond.
To Divert to the Pond
1. Two 4-inch ductile iron gate valves are located between the aeration chamber and the
pump tank. To divert flow to the pond, open the gate valve on the discharge line
flowing to the pond.
2. Close the gate valve on the discharge line flowing to the pump tank.
Water is pumped from the pond back into the pump tank using a transfer pump and must
be activated on the same winter/summer schedule above. The transfer pump supplies
water to the pump when activated, and to a yard hydrant for use at any time. A timer
located at the pump tank activates a solenoid valve that allows pond water to flow to the
pump tank.
To Divert from the Pond to the Pump Tank
1. Engage the time by sitting the timer to activate the pump
2. The pump should be activated 4 times per day and run for %Z hour. (Note: The
pump will be able to pump approximately 200 gallons in a % hour.) The pump
needs to be running while the operator is performing his daily site check. (Note: The
pump activation schedule may need to be altered depending on flow and associated
2

pond levels.)
3. The pressure switch on the transfer pump should be set at 30 psi.
High and low level probes control the pump tank wastewater levels. The probes will
automatically turn on/off the pump in the pump tank. Wastewater from the pump tank
flows into the recirculating sand filter and by gravity returns to the pump tank or is
discharged. Prior to discharge, the effluent flows through a chlorinator and then a
dechlorinator.

Dear Mr. Bolt:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On February 17, 2011, Ms. Jenifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office conducted a Compliance
Evaluation Inspection at Wilderness N.C.'s Wastewater Treatment Facilities. Mr. Quentin Campbell, ORC,
and David Purdue were present during the inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on -site
inspection of the treatment facility and a review of facility files and self -monitoring data.
A review of the submitted self -monitoring data since the last inspection on June 4, 2009 revealed one monthly
and four daily BOD effluent limit violations. Each has been addressed separately through the Division's
monthly enforcement program.
The following is a summary of findings during the inspection.
A) Facility records were well organized and current.
B) An updated Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and stormwater monitoring records were complete
and available for review.
C) Samples are pulled by the ORC and transported in a cooler with ice to R & A's laboratory.
D) A Total Residual Chlorine Effluent Limit took effect on December 1, 2010 and was implemented and
met well in advance of the deadline
E) The treatment system and access to all outfalls (stormwater and treated wastewater) appear to be well
maintained.
Should you have any questions please contact Jenifer Carter in our Winston-Salem Regional Office at (336)

Dear Mr. Bolt:
June 29, 2009
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On June 4, 2009, Ms. Jenifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office conducted a Compliance
Evaluation Inspection at Wilderness N.C.'s Wastewater Treatment Facilities. Mr. Quentin Campbell, ORC,
and David Purdue were present during the inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on -site
inspection of the treatment facility and a review of facility files and self -monitoring data.
A review of the submitted self -monitoring data for the period of March 2007 through March 2009 revealed
three daily and one monthly BOD violations. Each has been addressed separately through the Division's
monthly enforcement program.
The following is a summary of findings during the inspection.
A) Facility records were well organized and current.
B) Copies of the permit are kept on site and with operator.
C) Samples are pulled by the ORC and transported in a cooler with ice to R & A's laboratory.
D) The recently renewed permit includes a new Total Residual Chlorine Limit that takes effect on
December 1, 2010. Mr. Campbell and Mr. Purdue were aware of the new requirement.
E) The treatment system appears to be well maintained and operated.
Should you have any questions please contact Jenifer Carter in our Winston-Salem Regional Office at
[phone].

Division of Water Quality
June 19, 2003
TO: NPDES Unit Staff
FROM: David A. Goodrich
NPDES Unit Supervisor
SUBJECT: Total Residual Chlorine Policy for NPDES permits
Every three years the State is required by the Clean Water Act to review its surface water quality standards and
classifications, determine if changes are needed and to make any necessary changes. This review process is referred to
as the "triennial review." Public hearings were held to solicit comments for the 2000-2003 Triennial Review of surface
water quality standards during the summer of 2002. The Hearing Officer's recommendations were presented before
the state's Environmental Management Commission on October 10, 2002.
The Hearing Officer's recommended changes included modifications to the existing standards for Arsenic, Cyanide,
Methylene Blue Active Substances (MBAS) and Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). The Hearing Officer also
recommended the addition of a standard for Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE).
All of the Hearing Officer's proposed changes were adopted with the exception of MTBE. The changes took effect
on April 1, 2003. This memo documents the changes to the NPDES permitting policy for TRC limits.
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC)
Previously, TRC had an Action Level Standard, except in designated Trout waters. The Triennial Review changes
modified the TRC Action Level Standard to an Aquatic Life Standard of 17 µg/L. The Aquatic Life Standard will
remain for designated Trout waters.
Aquatic Life Standard — 17 µg/L (freshwater only) Trout Waters — 17 µg/L
Revised TRC Policy
➢ TRC limits will be assigned to permit renewals and all new permits issued after April 1, 2003.
➢ Facilities that do not use chlorine will not receive a TRC limit; however, the presence of a chlorine back-up
system to augment LTV or other disinfection requires a TRC limit.
➢ Facilities discharging to streams with a 7Q10 <0.05 cfs (zero -flow streams) will receive a limit of 17 µg/L.
➢ Limits will be capped at 28 µg/L to protect against acute impacts.
It is likely that many facilities will need to add dechlorination (or use another means of disinfection) to comply with
the new TRC standard. Therefore, a compliance schedule of 18 months from the effective date of the permit may
be added to any TRC limit added during the current permit renewal. This time period is allowed in order for the
facility to budget and design/construct the dechlorination and/or alternative disinfection system(s). The NPDES
Unit has promulgated minimum design criteria in order to expedite permitting of dechlorination equipment.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The site evaluation, conducted 5/1/97, revealed an error in
the permit application. The 003 wastestream is not "kiln
condensate". In actuality, the kiln condensate is collected and
recycled into the facility's boilers. The water actually being
discharged from 003 is potable water. The water is used to keep
an instrument known as a "wet bulb" moist. The wet bulb controls
the humidity in the individual "cells" of each kiln by cutting on
fans which attract and capture the actual kiln condensate.
The Region recommends the permit be issued.
