Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. B ass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and Version 712009 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DWO or "the Division" The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered =1. Version 712009 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. Monthly Average (concentration limitl The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration limit), The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe propeM damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)0) of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration limitl The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1. Duty to Comply The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit.

Proper Operation and Maintenance The Permittee shall at all times provide the operation and maintenance resources necessary to operate the existing facilities at optimum efficiency. The Permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the Permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the Permittee to install and operate backup or auxiliary facilities only when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit [40 CFR 122.41 (e)]. NOTE: Properly and officially designated operators are fully responsible for all proper operation and maintenance of the facility, and all documentation required thereof, whether acting as a contract operator [subcontractor] or a member of the Permittee's staff. 3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit [40 CFR 122.41 (c)] 4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities a. Bypass not exceeding limitations [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (2)] Version 712009 iv i'DES Permit Standard Conditions Page 8 of 18 The Permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs b. and c. of this section. b. Notice [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (3)] (1) Anticipated bypass. If the Permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and effect of the bypass. (2) Unanticipated bypass. The Permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II. E. 6. (24-hour notice). -" c. Prohibition of Bypass (1) Bypass from the treatment facility is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a Permittee for bypass, unless: (A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; (B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and (C) The Permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph b. of this section. (2) Bypass from the collection system is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a Permittee for a bypass as provided in any current or future system -wide collection system permit associated with the treatment facility.

Landon Davidson NCDENR 2090 US 70 Hwy Swannanoa, NC 28778 Dear Mr. Davidson: This letter is in response to violation NOV-2015-LV-0294 of exceeding the monthly average flow limit for October 2014 for Ohio Electric's wastewater permit NC0039152. I have reviewed the report from October 2014 and discussed this notice with Janet Cantwell. Our system was inspected by Mr Swann 14 times during that month. Of these 14 inspections we had 0.00 flow 13 times and .004 mgd flow on one day. On the submitted report we listed the averaged based on the total recorded flow of .004 mgd divided by the number of times the system was checked (14). The average flow on the report states .00003 mgd as the average which is the result of this calculation so we did not believe the monthly average had been exceeded. After discussing this with Janet I was told I could only use the times I had a recorded flow to determine the average (1). Based on this discussion, the Maximum for the one time flow was also the average. I have discussed this with Mr Swann and will complete the reports more accurately and completely based on the way Janet has instructed. When the monthly average is exceeded based on this way of calculating it, I will make sure the below conditions are noted on the report. Our system typically has no flow except during periods of heavy rainfall for an extended time and the ground becomes saturated. This leads to only having a flow for short periods of time one or two days per month. Mr. Swann monitors the system for flow regularly and it is monitored daily by us for flow. If a flow occurs Mr. Swann is contacted by us to come do the inspection and testing if possible. This means that almost every flow is recorded on monthly reports and totals a very small quantity of discharge.

Outfall #1 is for the septic system and Outfall #2 is the discharge of water used to cool machines. Outfall#1: Septic Sysem Ohio Electric utilizes a tank septic system consisting of .two tanks. Tank one retains solid waste and liquids pass on to tank 2. The liquid waste is then pumped alternately into sections of the sand filter. Any outflow not absorbed by the sand filter field then flows through a chlorine system. To comply with chlorine limits for this discharge, it then flows into a de - chlorination system to neutralize the chlorine level. Flow from'th'is system is discharged from outfall #1 into Paint Fork Creek. JUN 2 3 2010 j WATER QUALITY SECTION 3HEVILLE REGIONAL OFFIC Outfall #2: Cooling Water Discharge This discharge is clean water only used for circulation through machine cooling systems. Nothing is added or required to be removed from this discharge.. Monitoring consists of checking temperature and ph levels as required by permit. System Performance: No changes have been made to our waste water system and no additional maintenance has been needed since the last annual report. All monitoring requirements have been followed per permits specifications and all samples have been compliant with permit limitations. All monitored flows have been compliant with limit requirements Three monitoring report violations were received in 2010. All were due to clerical mistakes on the report made by our monitoring service. All reports were corrected and re -submitted. No physical violations were made only paperwork errors on the state report. Notification: The contents of this report will be communicated to the employees of Ohio Electric Motors by posting on the company bulletin board and the required copies will be sent to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality Certification: I hereby certify that the contents of this report are accurate and complete according to the requirements of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.

Outfall #1 is for the septic system and Outfall #2 is the discharge of water used to cool machines. Outfall#1: Septic Sysem Ohio Electric utilizes a tank septic system consisting of two tanks. Tank one retains solid waste and liquids pass on to tank 2. The liquid waste is then pumped alternately into sections of the sand filter. Any outflow not absorbed by the sand filter field then flows through a chlorine system. To comply with chlorine limits for this discharge, it then flows into a dechlorinization system to neutralize the chlorine level. Flow from this system is discharged from outfall #1 into Paint Fork Creek. Outfall #2: Cooling Water Discharge This discharge is clean water only used for circulation through machine cooling systems. Nothing is added or required to be removed from this discharge. Monitoring consists of checking temperature and ph levels as required by permit. System Performance: New monitoring requirements for chlorine were implemented. This required a twice weekly monitoring of the chlorine level of outfall #1 with a maximum daily limit of 28ug/L to take affect in April 2007. To comply with this upcoming requirement, a dechlorinization system was installed and a check valve added to prevent the creek from backing up into the system.

Two Tanks, Subsurface Sand Filter, Tablet Chlorination System followed by a de -chlorination system. This system discharges from Outfall #1 while Outfall #2 is the discharge of water used to cool machines. Outfall#1: Septic Sysem Ohio Electric utilizes a tank septic system consisting of two tanks.

Nothing is added or required to be removed from this discharge. Monitoring consists of checking temperature and ph levels as required by permit. System Performance: 2006: Two small violations were noted in 2006. One was in January due to readings that that were above the permitted limit for Fecal Coliform. Our daily maximum for this characteristic is 400/100ml. After adjustments were made to the chlorination system, this has-been under control. No readings approaching the limit have been noted. The other noted violation was due to a reporting error concerning the units of measure. No unit of measure was specified on the monthly report in April 2006 for the Chlorine level. This is the responsibility of the Analytical Lab we use for this service and they have been notified and the current reporting forms provided to them for this report. No other violations were noted for 2006. New monitoring requirements for chlorine were implemented. This required a twice weekly monitoring of the chlorine level of outfall #1 with a maximum daily limit of 28ug/L to take affect in April 2007. To comply with this upcoming requirement, a dechlorination system will be installed.

MOTORS %-wEvEARING d This letter is in response to violation NOV-2006-0080 of coliform, and fecal exceeding the daily maximum limit on 1/03/06 for Ohio Electric's wastewater permit NC0039152. Ohio Electric currently uses a chlorine tablet system for our wastewater system. We have been checking and testing the system every other day and adding chlorine tablets as needed to conform to the coliform and fecal limits, which has worked well until last month. We had a very rainy day on January 2 which must have diluted the chorine tablets and resulted in a higher than normal coliform/fecal concentration. Since the violation on January 2, we have increased our monitoring of the wastewater system and check the system much more frequently during rainy days. Ohio Electric also is planning to add a dechlorination system upgrade to wastewater system in late spring/ early summer to comply with the total residual chlorine requirements of our new NPDES permit. We are hoping with the increased monitoring and the new system upgrade that the limit will not be exceeded again.
