JAY ZIMMERMAN ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY Director June 24, 2016 ti C_QJ RECEIVED/NCDENR/DWR Randy Putnam N 3 0 2016 Lincoln County Schools PO Box 400 WQROS MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE Lincolnton, NC 28092-0400 Subject: NPDES Electronic Reporting Requirements West Lincoln High School NPDES Permit Number: NC0041246 Dear NPDES Permittee: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently published the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule.The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to report information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports.The rule does not change what information is required from facilities. It only changes the method by which information is provided (i.e., electronic rather than paper-based). EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period. The two phases of the rule, and their key milestones, are: • Phase 1—Starting on December 21,2016, regulated entities that are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) will begin submitting these reports electronically. If you are currently reporting your DMR data electronically using eDMR,then you simply need to continue reporting in the same way as you are now. The key change is that, starting on December 21, 2016, electronic reporting of DMRs will be required, instead of voluntary. • Phase 2—Starting on December 21, 2020, regulated entities that are required to submit certain other NPDES reports will begin submitting these reports electronically. Reports covered in the second phase include Notices of Intent to discharge in compliance with an NPDES general permit, Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports, and a number of other NPDES program reports. Incorporating Electronic Reporting Requirements into NPDES Permits The NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule requires authorized NPDES programs to incorporate electronic reporting requirements into NPDES permits beginning December 21, 2015. Under the new rule, the electronic reporting process supersedes the paper reporting process. According to our files,your NPDES permit became effective after November 2013, and should contain the requirement to electronically report your Discharge Monitoring Reports using NC DWR's eDMR system. In addition to requiring permittees to report information electronically, the rule also requires permittees to identify the initial recipient for the NPDES electronic reporting data [see 40 CFR 122.41(I)(9)]. Initial State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Water Resources 1617 Mail Service Center I Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617 919 807 6300 recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities(initial recipient) means the entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program)that is the designated entity for receiving electronic NPDES Data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)]. Permittees are required to electronically submit the required NPDES information to the appropriate initial recipient, as determined by EPA. By July 18, 2016, EPA must identify and publish on its web site and in the Federal Register a listing of initial recipients by state and by NPDES data group. Once available, you can use EPA's web site to find out or determine the initial recipient of your electronic submission. NC DWR has submitted a request to EPA to be the initial recipient for the following NPDES data groups: 1. Discharge Monitoring Reports; 2. General Permit Reports [Notices of Intent to discharge (NOIs); Notices of Termination (NOTs)]; 3. Pretreatment Program Reports; and 4. Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports EPA's web site will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type of electronic submission for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well.

No later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit,begin submitting discharge monitoring reports electronically using NC DWR's eDMR application system. See Special Condition A.(2.). 2. In the event that the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet(UV)disinfection system should fail,underperform,or otherwise be removed from effective service,the permittee or his agent should immediately inform the Water Quality Regional Operations Section staff of the Mooresville Regional Office of this development and discuss temporary, alternate means for disinfection of the effluent. If chlorine compounds are used as temporary means of disinfection,the total residual chlorine(TRC)concentration of the effluent must be monitored while this method of disinfection is in use and values must be reported on the discharge monitoring report. TRC in the effluent may not exceed 28 µg/L;therefore,dechlorination methods may also be necessary to ensure protection of water quality in the receiving stream. Use of a'disinfection system other than the permitted UV system during circumstances not deemed as emergency and/or temporary(replacement of lamps,lamp cleaning or maintenance, etc.)will be considered a violation of the terms of this permit. The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 µg/l to be in compliance with the permit. However,the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values reported by a North Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified),even if these values fall below 50 µg/1. THERE SHALL BE NO DISCHARGE OF FLOATING SOLIDS OR VISIBLE FOAM IN OTHER THAN TRACE AMOUNTS. Page 3 of 6 Permit NC0041246 A. (2.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.1(b)] 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). NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits): • Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements • Section D. (2.) Reporting • Section D.(6.) Records Retention • Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports 1. Reporting'Supersedes Section D.(2.)and Section E. (5.)(a)1 Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit,the permittee shall begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report(eDMR) internet application. Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s)shall be summarized for each month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the intemet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation(CROMERR),permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing,and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address: NC DENR/DWR/Information Processing Unit ATTENTION: Central Files/eDMR 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617 If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access,then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms(MR 1, 1.1,2, 3)or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty(60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid for twelve(12)months and shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re-applies for and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division. Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements is found on the following web page: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr Regardless of the submission method,the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of discharge.

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. Bypass 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 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 Version 11/09/2011.1 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions • Page 2 of 18 (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. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement,the "daily discharge"is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2;see also "Composite Sample,"above.) 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). DWR or"the Division" The Division of Water Resources,Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Effluent Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source whether treated or untreated. 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. 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). Version 11/09/2011.1 • NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in that instance. To the extent practical,instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge during that sampling period. Monthly Average(concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all"daily discharges"of a pollutant measured during the calendar month.In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators,the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Resources. Quarterly Average(concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property 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)(1)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 limit) The arithmetic mean of all"daily discharges"of a pollutant measured during the calendar week.In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators,the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1.

[15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(14)] Pass Through A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which,alone or with discharges from other sources,causes a violation,including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation,of the Permittee's(or any satellite POTW's,if different from the Permittee)NPDES,collection system,or non-discharge permit. [15A NCAC 02H.0903(b)(23)] Publicly Owned Treatment Works(POTW) A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA,which is owned by a State or local government organization. This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage,treatment,recycling and reclamation of municipal sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system,as defined in 15A NCAC 2T .0402,only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government organization,or municipality,as defined in section 502(4)of the CWA,which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context,the organization may be the owner of the POTW treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of POTW may be referred to as a"satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H.0903(b)(26)] "Significant Industrial User" or"SIU" An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that[15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(33)]: 1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW(excluding sanitary, noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters);or 2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non-discharge permitted flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context,organic capacity refers to BOD,TSS and ammonia; or 3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or 4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement,or the POTW's effluent limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non-discharge permit,or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options; 5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b),the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement,the POTW's effluent limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non-discharge permit,or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options,and thus is not a Significant Industrial User(SIU);or 6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H.0907(b),the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2)and thus is a non-significant categorical Industrial User. Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works(POTWs) Version 11/09/2011.1 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 15 of 18 All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following[40 CFR 122.42(b)]: 1.

Box 400 Lincolnton,North Carolina 28093-0400 Tt,R Subject: Permit Modification to Extend Ammonia Compliance Deadline, Relocate Outfall to Indian Creek and Revise Discharge Parameter Limits to Reflect a New Outfall NPDES Permit NC0041246 West Lincoln High School 172 Shoal Road Lincoln County Dear Mr. Seagle: The Division of Water Quality (the Division) has reviewed your request to modify your existing permit, including an Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) provided by your consultant, W.K Dickson and Company, Inc. (May 17, 2001). Your application of February 19, 2002 for West Lincoln High School (WLHS) discusses you intention to expand flow from 0.010 million gallons per day (MGD) to 0.014 MGD. It also discusses your intention to relocate Outfall 001 to the main stem of Indian Creek. Based in the information provided, the Division has extended the deadline for compliance to stricter ammonia limits to December 31, 2002 to provide for scheduling and Division authorization to construct new facilities. The State of North Carolina applauds your decision to discontinue discharging under "zero-flow" stream conditions and hereby approves your request to modify the permit. Attached, please find draft permit change-pages reflecting revised permit limits and monitoring requirements for your review and comment. The attached changes constitute a major permit modification and therefore must adhere to federal requirements for Public Notice including a 30-day public comment period. Concerning EAA Discharge Alternatives. The EAA compares alternatives and concludes that surface discharge, represented by Options 1, 2 and 3, are the most environmentally and economically viable. The Division concurs, however Option 3 proposes to add wastewater from the adjacent West Lincoln Middle School (WLMS) for surface discharge. Considering that the existing conventional septic system is operating adequately for WLMS, the Division would prefer that this additional flow not be discharged to surface waters of the state. Therefore, Option 3 should no longer be considered. Awn NCDENR N.C.

DENR/DWQ/NPDES Unit FACT SHEET FOR NPDES PERMIT MODIFICATION DEVELOPMENT NPDES Permit No. NC0041246 INTRODUCTION Lincoln County Schools / West Lincoln High School (herein referred to as WLHS or the Permittee) requires a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit to dispose treated wastewater to the surface waters of the state. The Permitte.e has submitted an application to the Division of Water Quality (the Division) to modify the existing permit. This Fact Sheet summarizes background information and rationale used by the Division's NPDES Unit to determine revised permit limits and conditions. FACILITY RECORDS REVIEW Existing Facility Description. West Lincoln High School currently serves 828 students and 77 staff members'. The school utilizes a Class I wastewater treatment facility consisting of a septic tank with dosing compartment (Division authorized in 1988), a sand filter, and tablet chlorine disinfection. The permittee intends to expand and install a new facility and move the outfall. Table 1 compares existing conditions with proposed modifications (MOD) to the permit. Table 1.

This facility discharges five days per week, through Outfall 001, almost year-round except during summer vacations and holidays when discharge is typically reported as "No Flow." Although the permit specifies a design flow of 0.010 million gallons per day (MGD), actual flow has averaged over the past three years about 0.004 MGD, or about 40% of permitted capacity. This facility currently discharges to a "zero-flow" stream (7Q10 = 0 and 30Q2 > 0), to an unnamed tributary (UT) of Indian Creek, but proposes to move its discharge to the Indian Creek main stem. Indian Creek is a Class C stream within the Catawba River Basin and is not "impaired" [not 303(d) listed]. Considering discharge under "zero-flow" conditions, the Division required permit renewal (effective April 1, 2002)to include: 1) an EAA,to be submitted within 180 days following the permit effective date; 2) ammonia (NH3 as N) limits of 2 mg/L (summer) and 4 mg/L (winter); as an alternative to these limits, the Permittee may comply with a monthly Whole Effluent Toxicity(WET) test(ceriodaphnia dubia at 90%effluent concentration); 3) a Total Residual Chlorine(TRC)limit of 17 µg/L; 4) DO stream conditions do not indicate impairment (see Instream Data), therefore BOD5 limits remained unchanged. Mooresville Regional Office suggested that the Permittee evaluate the assimilative capacity of Indian Creek as an alternative discharge point, and estimate the cost to relocate Outfall 001. The Permittee provided flow data acquired from J.Curtis Weaver(Hydrologist, USGS) indicating positive flows for Indian Creek estimated at 7Q10 = 2.5 cfs (summer), 7Q10 = 7.1 cfs (winter), and 30Q2 = 8.0 cfs located approximately 1,500 feet downstream. New discharge coordinates (provided by the NPDES Unit using GIS Terrain Navigator software): Lat. 35° 28' 42"N,Long. 81° 23' 48"W. MODELING RESULTS The Division applied flow modeling, including the Level B Model, considering an expanded discharge of 0.014 MGD and flow data for main-stem Indian Creek provided by the USGS (Letter from J. Curtis Weaver to W.K. Dickson and Company, November 19, 2001). New data yield a discharge instream waste concentration (IWC) is 0.83 %, and allowable ammonia concentration (summer) of 90.9 mg/L suggesting that ammonia will not require monitoring. However, the dilution factor for fecal coliform bacteria is 116.21 indicates that fecal limits will be required (200/100 counts per ml). Level B Modeling indicates that "secondary Limits" protect water quality. Therefore limits for BOD and TSS will not change at 30.0 / 45.0 mg/L (Monthly Ave./Daily Max.). Also dissolved oxygen (DO) recovers immediately at the outfall with a minimum of 7.38 mg/L, well above the Stream Standard of 5.0 mg/L for Class C waters. Therefore DO monitoring will likewise not be required. Monitoring frequencies have been retained appropriate for an effluent-limited, Class I facility. 1J..

PERMIT: The permit authorizes for the continued operation of an existing 0.010 MGD wastewater treatment system consisting of a 1500 gallon septic tank with dosing compartment(single bell), flow diversion box with three distribution lines, a surface sand filter bed, and chlorine tablet disinfection. The permit for this facility became effective on 4/1/01 and expires on 7/31/05. The review period of the self-monitoring reports includes the requirements of the previously issued permit. RECORDS AND REPORTS: Records reviewed during the inspection included the Operator-in-Responsible Charge (ORC)/daily operation and maintenance log and calibration data. No deficiencies were found. FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE: The lateral distribution lines appeared level and no vegetation was present. The school system(janitorial staff)handles the actual maintenance of the sandbed. The sand contained a large amount of solids and severe ponding was observed(noted in previous inspection). The Maintenance Director indicated that the janitorial staff are only directed to break up the solids. The solids shall be removed and properly disposed. Failure to remove the solids will cause ponding and the reduction of the treatment efficiency of the sandfilter. The school system is in the process of receiving approval from the Division for the construction of a new wastewater treatment facility. Although a newly constructed facility is being proposed, the current WWTP must be properly operated and maintained at all times as required by the NPDES Permit. The facility is staffed with one Grade II ORC. A certified back-up operator has been designated and is available when the ORC is unable to visit the facility. LABORATORY: Water Tech Labs, Inc., (Certification #50) in Granite Falls, North Carolina has been contracted to provide analytical support. The pH, TRC, and DO meters and thermometer appeared to be properly calibrated; however,additional documentation will now be required due to the new laboratory regulations that became effective on 10/1/01. The ORC and staff should view the Division's Laboratory Certification Unit's website that contains the technical guidance for field parameter testing (including proper instrument calibration and appropriate documentation) at www.esb.enr.state.nc.us/lab/field parmguide.htm. Mr. Chet Whiting with the Division's Laboratory Certification Unit can be contacted at 704-663-1699 ext. 297 for additional guidance. EFFLUENT/RECEIVING STREAM: The facility was not discharging at the time of the inspection. The facility discharges into an unnamed tributary to Indian Creek, which is a Class C water in the Catawba River Basin. The receiving stream was not evaluated. r ' West Lincoln High School WWTP Page Three EFFLUENT/RECEIVING STREAM cont'd: A review of the DMRs have indicated numerous TRC values in excess of 28µg/1. Be aware that a stream action level of 17 4g/1 has been established for total residual chlorine for chronic toxicity effects. An action level of 28 µg/1 has been set as the maximum allowable effluent concentration to protect the receiving stream against acute toxicity effects. Please maintain the total residual chlorine concentration as low as possible, while still complying with fecal coliform limits. SELF-MONITORING PROGRAM: Self-monitoring reports were reviewed for the period February 2001 through December 2001, inclusive.No limit violations were reported. The current permit(effective 4/1/01) requires weekly upstream and downstream monitoring for fecal coliform. Only twice per month upstream and downstream fecal coliform monitoring was performed from April 2001 through December 2001 (18 total violations). The remaining monitoring frequencies were correct. The analyses for the on-site parameters appeared to have been collected and analyzed within the required holding times. The upstream and downstream locations are consistent with the permit requirements. Rating: Unsatisfactory (This section is rated unsatisfactory due to the numerous monitoring violations) FLOW MEASUREMENT: Instantaneous flow is currently measured by a dose counter. SLUDGE DISPOSAL: Septage is removed as needed by Robert's Septic Tank Service, Inc., of Maiden,N.C. and disposed at the City of Newton Clarks Creek WWTP. SEWER C ,ER'LOW: Please be advised that pursuant to Part II, Section E of your NPDES permit, and North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection sewer, pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion of the wastewater shall be reported to the central office or the appropriate regional office(Mooresville Regional Office 704-663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the permittee became aware of the bypass. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours may also be reported to the Division's Emergency Response personnel at 800-662-7956, 800- 858-0368,or 919-733-3300. A written report shall also be provided within five(5)days of the time of the incident. The report shall contain a description of the bypass, and its cause; the period of the bypass,including exact dates and times,and if the bypass has not been corrected,the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken(or planned)to reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence of similar events. Any spill that reaches surface waters(i.e. any spill that reaches any water already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill greater than 1,000 gallons on the ground that does not reach surface waters must be reported. West Lincoln High School WWTP Page Four SEWER OVERFLOW cont'd: An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a fish kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen and pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH measurements at multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact. Failure to report the bypass of collection system,pumping station or treatment facility subjects violators to penalties of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation.

Please realize that this facility discharges to a "zero-flow" stream. This means that effectively 100% of the effluent impacts the local environment, for better or worse, with little no benefit from dilution by natural waters. The following revisions have been included in this permit: Deletions: The Division no longer requires "instream"or creek monitoring for"conductivity." Additions: 1. This permit contains a Special Condition requiring an Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA), to be performed according to the attached guidance document (June 9, 2000). Please be advised that this EAA must be received by the Division of Water Quality within 180 days of the effective date of this permit. 2. Considering "zero flow" conditions, monitoring for ammonia nitrogen (NH3 as N) shall conform to stricter limits of 2 mg/L (summer) and 4 mg/L (winter). As an option to these limits, the permittee may request to conform to a monthly Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Test (ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90%). New limits for ammonia (NH3 as N) shall become effective on April 1, 2002, one year from the permit effective date.

Part II • Page 1 of 14 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS SECTION A. DEFINITIONS 1. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. 2. DEM or"the Division" Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources. 3. EMC Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. 4. Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended,33 USC 1251,et.seq. 5. Mass/Day Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass 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. It is therefore,an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly_average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week(Sunday-Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. it is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as"Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum,"in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is,therefore,an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as"Annual Average"in Part I of the permit. ' Part II Page 2 of 14 6. Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is 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 is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. b. The "average weekly concentration," ether than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week • (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week(arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily concentration" is 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"under "Other Limits"in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average"under"Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. e. The"daily average concentration"(for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I. f. The "quarterly average concentration" is•the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit. g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June,July through September,and October through December. Pan II Page 3 of 14 7. Other Measurements a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. b. An"instantaneous flow measurement"is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. c. A"continuous flow measurement"is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually 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. 8. Types of Samples a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of: (1)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 (2) 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 totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system,or (3)a single,continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow. In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases,effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six(6)hours nor the number of samples less than four(4)during a 24 hour sampling period. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the receiving waters. 9. Calculation of Means a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is 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). c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. Part II Page 4 of 14 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as 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. 11.Hazardous Substance A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 12.Toxic Pollutant • A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1)of the Clean Water Act.

(2) "Severe property damage" means 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 does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. b. Bypass not exceeding limitations. 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 c.and d.of this section. c. Notice (I) 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 affect of the bypass. (2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II,E.6.of this permit. (24 hour notice). • d. Prohibition of Bypass (1) Bypass 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 c.of this section. (2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section. Part II Page 9 of 14 • 5. Upsets a. Definition. "Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities,lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. b. Effect of an upset. • An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent Iimitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed,contemporaneous operating logs,or other relevant evidence that (1)An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s)of the upset; (2)The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated;and (3)The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II,E.6. (b) (B) of this permit. (4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this permit. d. Burden of proof. In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. 6. Removed Substances Solids,sludges,filter backwash,or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations - • governing the disposal of sewage sludge.Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503,any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and modified,or revoked and reissued,to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge(when promulgated)within the time provided in the regulation,even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices. 7. Power Failures • The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation, Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by means of alternate power sources,standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent. • Part 11 Page 10 of 14 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 taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period which the sample represents.

SUMMARY A. Introduction: The purpose of this EAA is to determine which effluent disposal alternative is the best option for West Lincoln High School (WLHS) from both an economic and environmental standpoint. This EAA also includes a Present-Value-of-Costs Analysis and a Soils Analysis Report. B. Summary of Findings: Lincoln County Schools operate a wastewater treatment system at WLHS consisting of a septic tank with dosing compartment, a flow diversion box, a surface sand filter with tablet chlorination, and a 6-inch receiving trunk line flowing into an unnamed tributary deemed as a zero flow stream. The existing wastewater treatment components will need to be upgraded to handle the additional flow from the planned expansion at WLHS. A surface water discharge method is recommended as the most viable option from both an economic and environmental standpoint. It is recommended the existing surface water discharge into the unnamed tributary be moved to Indian Creek since it has a Class C stream. A detailed Soils Analysis Report was done to characterize the existing soils and to develop soil loading rates/land area requirements for both the surface and subsurface systems. A Present-Value-of-Costs Analysis was then done for each applicable effluent disposal alternative. Options 1 and Option 2, at a projected flow of 0.014 MGD, are the recommended systems to be utilized for the projected wastewater flows at WLHS. Both the surface water discharge systems can be the best from an environmental standpoint if the chlorination compartment structure effluent is closely monitored and if proper maintenance is done on all system components. The estimated Present-Value-of-Costs amounts for the recommended surface water discharge systems at WLHS are as follows: Option 2 -Surface Water Discharge System $654,900 An in depth discussion of the summary of findings follows. 1 II. GENERAL INFORMATION A. Basic Identification of the Project: 1. Facility Name— West Lincoln High School 2. County— Lincoln 3. Facility Address — West Lincoln High School 172 Shoal Road Lincolnton, North Carolina 28092 4. Facility Telephone No. — (704) 276-1402 5. EAA Preparer's Name — WK Dickson & Company, Inc. 6. EAA Preparer's Mailing Address/Telephone No. — 616 Colonnade Drive Charlotte, North Carolina 28205 (704) 334-5348 B. Project Description: The existing wastewater treatment system for WLHS consists of a septic tank with dosing compartment, a flow diversion box, a surface sand filter with tablet chlorination, and a 6- inch receiving trunk line flowing into an unnamed tributary deemed as a zero flow stream. The unnamed tributary flows into Indian Creek, which has a Class C water classification in the Catawba River Basin. Under the NPDES Permit Number NC0041246, the existing wastewater treatment system permitted flow is 0.010 million gallons per day (MGD). • iFras a current student population cirrn.,incoln County School representatives indicate that the school is to be expanded to a maximum student population cgj4;, ich includes building additional classrooms and restroom facilities. As far as possibly combining the WLHS wastewater treatment system with the existing system at West Lincoln 11011401010.111111111111111. the current student population at WLMSnd no future school expansions are planned at this time. The new total flow for the WLHS expansion would be 0.014 GD based on a 15 gallon per day per student usage. The new wastewater flow, c ining both WLHS and WLMS, would be 0.025 MGD based on a 15 gallon per day per student usage. Flow restricting devices could be installed on plumbing fixtures used in the future expansion of WLHS. C. Existing Wastewater Facilities: The existing wastewater treatment system for WLHS consists of a 10,000 gallon septic tank with an adjoining 10,000 gallon dosing compartment, a flow diversion box, a 60 foot by 30 foot surface sand filter with tablet chlorination, and a 6-inch receiving outfall line flowing into an unnamed tributary. The present and past performances of each treatment unit within the WLHS wastewater system have been satisfactory. No inadequacies of either the septic tank or surface sand filter have ever been noticed by Lincoln County Schools Maintenance personnel. Solids that accumulated in the existing septic tank have been removed every 6 to 12 months. Existing sand surface laterals were replaced with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe 2 a this past year to improve the overall performance of the sand filter. Lincoln County Schools Maintenance personnel have corrected all component deficiencies noted by the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR) representatives at the annual inspections. Both the septic tank and sand filter will continually need periodic maintenance. The size of both the septic tank and surface sand filter will have to be increased to accommodate the projected wastewater flow generated after the proposed expansion of WLHS. Septic tank design shall follow guidelines highlighted in the North Carolina Administrative Code T15A:18A.1900, Section .1952. Since the projected wastewater flow will be greater than 4,500 gallons per day, the septic tank shall be designed in accordance with the following equation: V = Q; where V is the liquid capacity of the septic tank and Q is the design daily wastewater flow. Surface sand filter design shall follow guidelines established by the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources — On-Site Wastewater Section (NCDENR-OSWS). In addition, sizing of the surface sand filter shall follow the NCDENR—OSWS Design Protocol worksheet, including the calculation of the daily wastewater flow rate and the selection of the type of sand filter, the maximum filter loading rate, and the number of filters required. The schematic of the existing wastewater treatment system, including the corresponding component sizes, is shown in Appendix C. D. Phased Construction: The project will not be constructed in phases due to the proposed wastewater treatment system having to meet the projected wastewater flows calculated for the expansion of WLHS. In addition, the NPDES Permit for WLHS shall be revised at a later date in order to highlight the projected wastewater flows (average daily and peak), the new wastewater treatment system components (including size), and the revised effluent limitations and monitoring requirements. III. EVALUATE DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES A. Connecting to a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW): There is neither a POTW nor corresponding wastewater collection lines within five (5) miles of WLHS. This is not a viable alternative from an economic standpoint. In addition, representatives with the City of Lincolnton and Lincoln County have stated that there are no area-wide sewerage systems planned, within a five (5) mile radius of WLHS, for the next five (5) years. B. Connecting to a Privately Owned Treatment Works: There is neither a privately owned treatment works nor corresponding wastewater collection lines within five (5) miles of WLHS. This is not a viable alternative from an economic standpoint. 3 1 I C. Surface Water Discharge Through the NPDES Program: WLHS currently has an existing 6-inch receiving trunk line flowing into an unnamed tributary deemed as a zero flow stream. The unnamed tributary flows into Indian Creek, which has a Class C water classification in the Catawba River Basin. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) was contacted to obtain receiving stream flow information for Indian Creek. The total drainage area, documented by the USGS, measured approximately 19 square miles, with an average flow in Indian Creek of approximately 28 cubic feet per second (cfs) at the discharge point. The corresponding 7Q10 and 30Q2 flows are approximately 2.4 c and 7.6 cf respectively. The gauging station number is 02143500 and is named "In iar5 Cree ,ear Laboratory". Three surface water discharge system options were evaluated as follows: 1. Surface Water Discharge System (0.014 MGD) Revision —Option 1 2. Surface Water Discharge System (0.014 MGD) — Option 2 3. Surface Water Discharge System (0.025 MGD) — Option 3 Option 1: Install an 8-inch trunk line from the end of the unnamed tributary discharge to the proposed discharge at Indian Creek. The distance between the existing discharge header at the unnamed tributary and Indian Creek is approximately 1,500 feet. If the wastewater treatment system for WLHS is to remain separate from WLMS, then the existing 6-inch trunk line from the school site to the existing discharge header has capacity for the projected flow of 0.014 MGD and can remain in service. Option 2: Install an 8-inch trunk line along the existing unnamed tributary within the boundary of the recently purchased 43-acre tract of land. A proposed pumping station and 3-inch force main approximately 1,500 feet in length from the existing septic tank to a proposed recirculating sand filter (3,600 square feet), with a corresponding recirculating sand filter dosing tank (14,000 gallons), could be installed on the recently purchased 43- acre tract. The abandonment of the existing surface sand filter is recommended in both options above due to the present odor problems at the football field during periods of high demand. By using a recirculating sand filter, the odors would be minimized since the recirculated effluent coming from the sand filter would dilute the wastewater inside the proposed recirculating sand filter dosing tank. As referenced in Part C of this section and according to Section .1952 (b) of the North Carolina Administrative Code T15A:18A.1900, the existing septic tank (approximately, 0,0O- Hors) woulialsimaillIMmuni,to a gl.li size to meet the projectedflow7-111tifielookingikould also include a proposed chlorination compartment structure with tablet chlorination to insure necessary secondary treatment and an 8-inch trunk line (approximately 3,000 feet in length) from a proposed secondary treatment structure to a proposed discharge at Indian Creek. Option 3: Under this option the wastewater treatment systems for WLHS and WLMS would be combined as a single surface water discharge with a projected flow of 0.025 MGD. It is recommended that WLHS use the same design as Option 2 above. A proposed 8-inch trunk line approximately 1,500 feet from WLMS to the a proposed 4 recirculating sand filter (7,200 square feet), with a corresponding recirculating sand filter dosing tank (25,000 gallon), would be required. Appendix A includes Present-Value-of-Costs Analysis for the above referenced options. In addition, see Appendix C includes a schematic drawing and site plan of the major treatment components. D. Feasibility of Individual Subsurface Systems: WLMS has an existing subsurface system that is designed to handle the current wastewater flow from the school. If WLHS and WLMS wastewater treatment systems were combined into one subsurface system, additional land would be required. Lincoln County Schools has recently purchased a 43-acre parcel directly below the WLHS and WLMS parcels to facilitate a possible subsurface type system. Calculations used to determine the proposed land disposal capacity of each subsurface system are included in Appendix D. A new pumping station and approximately 1,500 feet of 3-inch force main would be required, from the existing septic tank to the proposed subsurface system on the 43-acre parcel, if the WLHS wastewater treatment system was to switch from the surface water discharge type to the subsurface type. The existing septic tank (approximately 10,000 gallons) would also be increased to a 14,000 gallon size to meet the projected flow according to Section .1952 (b) of the North Carolina Administrative Code T15A:18A.1900. All of the proposed subsurface systems, including conventional, low pressure pipe (LPP), and drip irrigation systems, would require a recirculating sand filter dosing tank with a corresponding recirculating sand filter structure to comply with NCDENR—OSWS requirements. The recommended size of the proposed recirculating sand filter structure and recirculating sand filter dosing tank, for the projected flow of 0.014 MGD for WLHS, would be approximately 4,100 square feet and 14,000 gallons respectively. The recirculating sand filter structure and recirculating sand filter dosing tank recommended sizes would be approximately 7,200 square feet and 25,000 gallon, respectively, if the projected flows for both WLHS and WLMS (projected wastewater flow of 0.025 MGD) were combined into one wastewater treatment system. It should be noted that the abandonment of the existing surface sand filter is recommended in either option referenced above. Section .1945 (b) of the North Carolina Administrative Code T15A:18A.1900 requires sites to have sufficient available space for a repair area separate from the area used for the proposed ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal system (subsurface). This repair area shall be of equal size to the area designated for the subsurface system. The following subsurface system option were evaluated: 1. Subsurface Conventional System (0.014 MGD) — Option 4 2. Subsurface Conventional System (0.025 MGD) — Option 5 3. Subsurface Low Pressure Pipe System (0.014 MGD) —Option 6 4. Subsurface Low Pressure Pipe System (0.025 MGD) —Option 7 The proposed size of the conventional system and LPP system for the projected flow of 0.014 MGD from WLHS fields is approximately 175,000 square feet (4.1 acres) and 5 168,000 square feet (3.9 acres), respectively. For the projected flow of 0.025 MGD from both WLHS and WLMS, the proposed sizes of the conventional system and LPP system fields would be approximately 325,000 square feet (7.6 acres) and 303,000 square feet (7.1 acres), respectively. Sizing of system fields for each type of subsurface system referenced is based on the Long Term Application Rate (LTAR) recommended by the local Soil Scientist. The recommended LTAR for each subsurface system is shown in the Soil Analysis Report Requirements (Appendix B). See Appendix A for the Present-Value-of- Costs Analysis of the above referenced options. E. Feasibility of Community Subsurface Systems: This alternative is not applicable since there are no known community subsurface systems within the area of WLHS. F. Drip Irrigating (Surface & Subsurface): The sizing of proposed structures for the wastewater treatment system for the recirculating sand filters, dosing tanks, and piping would be the same for both the surface and subsurface drip irrigation systems. The repair area shall be of equal size to the area designated for the subsurface system. A repair area is not required for the surface drip irrigation system, but the application area calculated for the subsurface drip irrigation system is doubled. The surface drip irrigation system shall be capable of treating wastewater to secondary limits including disinfection. The drip irrigation system options evaluated are as follows: 1. Subsurface Drip Irrigation System (0.014 MGD) —Option 8 2. Subsurface Drip Irrigation System (0.025 MGD) — Option 9 3. Surface Drip Irrigation System (0.014 MGD) — Option 10 4. Surface Drip Irrigation System (0.025 MGD) — Option 11 The proposed size of the drip irrigation system fields for surface and subsurface applications for the projected flow of 0.014 MGD from WLHS is approximately 350,000 square feet (8.2 acres) and 175,000 square feet (4.1 acres), respectively. For the projected flow of 0.025 MGD to combine flows for both WLHS and WLMS, the proposed sizes of the drip irrigation system fields for surface and subsurface applications would be approximately 626,000 square feet (14.6 acres) and 313,000 square feet (7.6 acres), respectively. Sizing of drip irrigation system fields for surface and subsurface applications referenced are based on the Long Term Application Rate (LTAR) recommended by the local Soil Scientist. The recommended LTAR for the drip irrigation surface and subsurface systems is shown in the Soil Analysis Report Requirements (Appendix B). See Appendix A for the Present-Value-of-Costs Analysis of the above referenced options. G. Spray Irrigating: the sizing of the wastewater treatment system proposed structures for the recirculating sand filters, dosing tanks, and piping is the same for the spray irrigation system. A repair area is not required for the spray irrigation system but the application area calculated is doubled. The spray irrigation system shall be capable of treating wastewater to secondary limits including disinfection. 6 Surface spray irrigation system options evaluated are as follows: 1. Surface Spray Irrigation System (0.014 MGD) — Option 12 2. Surface Spray Irrigation System (0.025 MGD) — Option 13 The proposed size of the spray irrigation system field for the projected flow of 0.014 MGD from WLHS would be approximately 350,000 square feet (8.2 acres). For the projected flow of 0.025 MGD from both WLHS and WLMS, the proposed size of the spray irrigation system field would be approximately 626,000 square feet (14.6 acres). Sizing of spray irrigation system fields referenced is based on the Long Term Application Rate (LTAR) recommended by the local Soil Scientist. The recommended LTAR for the spray irrigation system is shown in the Soil Analysis Report Requirements (Appendix B). See Appendix A for the Present-Value-of-Costs Analysis of the above referenced options. H. Reuse: There are no publicly or privately owned treatment works with tertiary treatment and/or corresponding wastewater collection lines within five 5 miles of WLHS that could transmit the reuse water. This is not considered a viable alternative from an economic standpoint. I. Possible Combinations of the Above Options: Combinations of subsurface and/or surface systems could be utilized as documented in the Soil Analysis Report Requirements shown in Appendix B. This particular option would not be recommended since the operation and maintenance procedures for each subsurface and/or surface system's vary. In addition, it would be unnecessary to combine subsurface and/or surface systems with a surface water discharge system from both a practical and economical standpoint. IV. RECOMMENDATION OF SYSTEM OPTIONS Surface water discharge systems, Options 1 and Option 2, at a projected flow of 0.014 MGD for the WLHS, are the recommended systems to be utilized in the future. The total present value of each system option, as shown in Appendix A, show them to be the best selection from an economic standpoint. Both surface water discharge options can be the best from an environmental standpoint if the chlorination compartment structure effluent is closely monitored and if proper maintenance is done on all system components. A site plan showing the major components of each referenced surface water discharge system is shown in Appendix C. 7 •K �rF9t y.,-rt lti t _ _ ar, , F. _ .1 - .. - • • . -� r•rr k-31—r '; P f f . ; .. q •^ k .;• ...,-•r • t k ' K S ..•4 nf-1' _ _ s Y 1" `♦aa-:fi t "x • a w y, a Wr • u.it „,":",........... :.i• hf•< , ...7....,.,. . . ..:,..:.....,„.„.,.._...,........,...,..„,: ... . ..,:,...,„, , , ..•...„, , ,.•, ....,..:,..,,,..,....._......:,........_ ._.: ..,... . r. , 4_....;,....:.,i.,..„.J."....._, ...,...,:.„.. ...,,,;....,.. ° .,„,......„...•1•.,,,_,,,,_,..s..... ......„,.• ,",._„..;....:•_.„ t .. t '. .,low, -1' li a ••,......., ..",..t.•. . . :.,..- . •}u+, rm �. fF •L aeFr ry,, t 'W 4 • $-4; q�' Y w • s- ' .

J.••bs, LSS, CPSS / • Preliminary soil and site evaluation for the 42 acre West Lincoln County High School Tract Introduction On April 18, 2001, Toney C. Jacobs and Associates performed a preliminary soil and site evaluation on the approximately 42 acre tract behind the West Lincoln County Middle School. This evaluation was made to satisfy the requirements of the Engineering Alternative Analysis (EAA) being completed by W.K. Dickson for the West Lincoln High School and to advise the wastewater engineer and school system personnel of the soil resources present and the feasibility of an on-site wastewater disposal system, preliminary loading rates for such a system, and soil or site specifics to consider in system design. The report addresses soil and site criteria for permitting through NCDENR-DEH and NCDENR-DWQ. It is our understanding the high school is currently using sand filter pretreatment and stream discharge for wastewater disposal. It is also our understanding the school system is in the process of renewing their NPDES permit issued by the NCDENR-DWQ. For our evaluation, the Lincoln County School Maintenance Department backhoe was used to dig pits which were supplemented with hand auger borings. Mr. Tom Bach, P.E., with W.K. Dickson was present for the evaluation. Because of the dense vegetation and mechanical problems, the backhoe was only able to dig a limited number of pits. The recommendation for an on-site ground absorption system is based on a combination of factors, including, but not limited to 1) topography and landscape positions, 2) soil characteristics, 3) wetness conditions, 4) soil depth, 5) soil restrictive horizons, and 6) available space. Site The 42 acre site is located directly behind the West Lincoln Middle School (Fig. 1). During our evaluation, only two property irons were found, and these were adjacent to the school track facility. The property lines were not flagged and the school personnel present did not really know where the property lines were. The site was wooded in pines and hardwoods. The vegetation was very thick over most of the tract. In many areas it was extremely difficult to walk across the site because of the many tree blow-downs and r 2 thick underbrush. There was a major draw/stream running the entire length of the tract and Indian Creek is the western boundary of the site. We initially thought the draw/steam crossing the site was near the northern property line. After overlaying the boundary map with the USGS topo sheet, it appears the draw/stream is closer to the middle of the site (Fig. 2). The Lincoln County soil survey map shows a similar location (Fig. 3.) Because we did not know where the property line was, no holes were dug between this stream and the northern property line. Our site specific evaluation addresses the area between the steam crossing the tract and the southern property line. There were also numerous smaller draws across the tract. Slopes were generally 8-15% on the upper landscapes and 15-20+ near the streams. The County soil map has a combination of B,C, and D slopes mapped. Soils A combination of nineteen pit or auger borings were placed on the site. These hole locations are approximately located on Fig. 1 and are coded for subsurface septic system suitability (DEH). All profile descriptions are included in the Appendix. Of the 19 holes, 9 were classified as provisionally suitable (PS) for conventional septic systems, 6 were only PS for low pressure pipe (LPP) septic systems, and 4 were classified as unsuitable. The holes coded as PS for LPP septic systems would also be PS for subsurface drip septic systems. Also, the holes classified as unsuitable could probably be reclassified as PS for subsurface drip septic systems. The Soil Survey of Lincoln County has the site mapped as Cecil and Pacolet (Woody, 1995). Cecil and Pacolet soils are similar, but Pacolet soils are shallower. Generally the soil solum of Pacolet soils is 20-40 inches deep and the solum of Cecil soils is 40-60 inches deep. The site specific soil evaluation concurred the soils on-site are similar to those mapped by the USDA-SCS. If our hole locations are overlain the county soil map, it shows that were we found conventional system depth soils was where the SCS mapped Cecil soils and where we classified the soils as LPP depth or unsuitable, the soils were generally mapped Pacolet. Where the holes were coded as PS for conventional systems, generally there was 6 inches of sandy loam topsoil over red clay to clay loam B horizons, which extended to 3 36-48 inches deep. In some holes, the Bt horizon graded into a BC horizon. Also, there was saprolite present at some holes at less than 48 inches deep. Saprolite is considered unsuitable for any subsurface system over 1000 gpd. Structure of the Bt and BC horizons was generally subangular blocky, with some inclusions of angular blocky structure. All consistencies indicated non-expansive, kaolinitic mineralogy. Also, colors indicated well-drained, highly oxidized soils. In the holes described, there were no mottles of two chroma or less indicating seasonal soil wetness. If holes were placed closer to the streams, soils wetness indicators would probable be found. The main soil limitation observed was depth to rock. The holes classified as LPP or unsuitable had saprolite present or were terminated in hard, weathered rock. Several of the auger holes ended in refusal at less than 30 inches deep. Much of the rock was observed in the auger borings, and pits will be necessary to determine the true nature and extent of the rock. Pacolet soils are generally shallow to sandy loam saprolite and not harder rock. Summary and Conclusions Based on our preliminary evaluation, we feel the site has some potential for on- site wastewater disposal. While there were several holes that were PS for subsurface, conventional septic systems, we cannot at this time say for certain there is enough useable area for a 900 student (10,800 gpd) system. Because of the thick vegetation and lack of any surveyed property lines, additional work will be required to determine if there is enough useable soil and topography for a conventional, subsurface septic system. We do know that the streams greatly reduce the useable area of the 42 acre site and that the preliminary evaluation showed there were areas of unsuitable soil across the site. If the school intends to pursue a conventional system option, the property lines must be flagged and a loader will be required to push access paths across the site to allow ingress/egress for the backhoe. Based on our preliminary evaluation, an LTAR of approximately 0.2- 0.25 gpd/ft2 would be required for a conventional system. Approximately 8-10 acres of useable soil and topo would be required for a 10,800 gpd conventional septic system. At this time we feel the site will probably support a 10,800 gpd surface or subsurface drip system. The dripper tubing would be laid on the surface for a DWQ 4 surface drip system or installed approximately 4-6 inches deep for a DEH subsurface drip system. An approximate loading rate for a DEH drip system would be 0.1-0.125 gpd/ft2. For a DWQ surface drip system, an approximate loading rate would be 0.5 inches of wastewater per week or 26 inches of wastewater per year. Both these loading rates would require an approximately 5 acre drip field. The soil work for this report was only a preliminary evaluation. If you choose to pursue an on-site disposal option, a more comprehensive soil/site evaluation will be required for the permitting process. As mentioned earlier, surveying and site clearing will be necessary for furthers soils work. Thanks for the opportunity to assist with this project and please call if you have any questions. It will probably be helpful if we can meet with Mr. Ed Hatley, Assistant Superintendent with Lincoln County Schools, to discuss possible on-site wastewater disposal options.

PERMIT: The permitted facility is a 0.010 MGD wastewater treatment system consisting of one septic tank with dosing compartment, flow diversion box with three distribution lines, a surface sand filter bed (single bell), and chlorine tablet disinfection. The permit adequately describes the WWTP. The permit for this facility became effective on 4/1/01 and expires on 7/31/05. The review period of the self-monitoring reports includes the requirements of the previously issued permit. RECORDS AND REPORTS: Records reviewed during the inspection included the Operator-in-Responsible Charge (ORC)/daily operation and maintenance log and calibration data. No deficiencies were found. FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE: The facility appeared to be well maintained and in good operational condition. The lateral distribution lines were level and the sand was evenly raked. No vegetation was present. In several areas of the sandbed, the top 2-3 inches of sand appeared a dark color due to the accumulation of solids. The inspector recommended to the maintenance director to replace the top layers of sand if the results of the Engineering Alternatives Analysis (required to be submitted to the Division within 180 days of the effective date of the permit) indicates no feasible wastewater disposal alternative. The ORC was very knowledgeable of the treatment processes and equipment used at the facility. The facility is staffed with one Grade II ORC. A certified back-up operator has been designated and is available when the ORC is unable to visit the facility. LABORATORY: Water Tech Labs, Inc., (Certification #50) in Granite Falls, North Carolina has been contracted to provide analytical support. The lab was not evaluated during this inspection. A laboratory exemption was granted for pH and total residual chlorine (TRC) by the Division's Laboratory Certification Unit on 4/26/99. The pH, TRC, and DO meters appeared to be properly calibrated. EFFLUENT/RECEIVING STREAM: The facility was not discharging at the time of the inspection. The facility discharges into an unnamed tributary to Indian Creek, which is a Class C water in the Catawba River Basin. The receiving stream did not appear to be negatively impacted. The discharge outfall was well maintained and accessible at the time of the inspection. West Lincoln High School WWTP Page Three SELF-MONITORING PROGRAM: Self-monitoring reports were reviewed for the period February 2000 through January 2001, inclusive. No limit violations were reported. Only one effluent TRC value was reported for the weeks of May 28 through June 3 and November 26 through December 2, 2000. No effluent temperature,DO,and flow were reported for the week of May 28 through June 3, 2000. The ORC arrival time and the time on-site were not reported on June 9, 2000. Note: The inspection verified that the parameters were analyzed according to the permit requirements;therefore, amended DMRs should be submitted to the Division. The analyses for the on-site parameters appeared to have been performed within the required holding times. The upstream and downstream locations are consistent with the permit requirements. FLOW MEASUREMENT: Instantaneous flow is currently measured by a dose counter. SLUDGE DISPOSAL: Septage is removed as needed by Robert's Septic Tank Service, Inc., of Maiden,NC. Final disposal is at the City of Newton Clarks Creek WWTP. SEWER OVERFLOW: Please be advised that pursuant to Part II, Section E of your NPDES permit, and North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection sewer, pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion of the wastewater shall be reported to the central office or the appropriate regional office (Mooresville Regional Office 704-663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the permittee became aware of the bypass. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours may also be reported to the Division's Emergency Response personnel at 800-662-7956, 800- 858-0368,or 919-733-3300. A written report shall also be provided within five(5) days of the time of the incident. The report shall contain a description of the bypass, and its cause; the period of the bypass,including exact dates and times,and if the bypass has not been corrected,the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken(or planned)to reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence of similar events. Any spill that reaches surface waters(i.e. any spill that reaches any water already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill greater than 1,000 gallons on the ground that does not reach surface waters must be reported. An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a fish kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen and pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH measurements at multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact. Failure to report the bypass of collection system,pumping station or treatment facility subjects violators to penalties of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation. -.k State of North Carolina Q Department of Environment Cs, 7 and Natural Resources S� Sf` • A Division of Water Quality ' Iyf� r y IAA- Vrisinossilamillk James B.

Box 400 Lincolnton,North Carolina 28093-0400 Subject: DRAFT --NPDES Permit No. NC0041246 West Lincoln High School 172 Shoal Road Lincoln County Dear Mr. Seagle: According to your permit renewal request received January 24, 1998, the Division of Water Quality (the Division) has reviewed your application for the subject site and hereby transmits the draft permit for your review and comment. Please realize that this facility discharges to a"zero-flow" stream. This means that effectively 100% of the effluent impacts the local environment, for better or worse, with little no benefit from dilution by natural waters. The following revisions have been included in this permit: Deletions: The Division no longer requires"instream" or creek monitoring for"conductivity." Additions: 1. This permit contains a Special Condition requiring an Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA), to be performed according to the attached guidance document (June 9, 2000). Please be advised that this EAA must be received by the Division of Water Quality within 180 days of the effective date of this permit. 2. Chronic and acute toxic affects of chlorine are of concern in a "zero-flow" discharge environment. Therefore, this facility's Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) monitoring shall conform to a discharge limit of 17 µg/L. Perhaps de-chlorination or other means of disinfecting (ozone or UV light?) might be explored. 3. Further considering"zero flow" conditions, monitoring for ammonia nitrogen (NH3 as N) shall conform to stricter limits of 2 mg/L (summer) and 4 mg/L (winter).

The above-described new limits for chlorine and ammonia (NH3 as N) shall become effective on February 1, 2002, approximately one year from the permit effective date. The Division may revise this compliance schedule after reviewing the EAA conclusions and recommendations. Please provide any comments regarding this draft to DENR / DWQ / NPDES Unit no later than December 20, 2000.

The following is a response to the deviations outlined in the report. 1. The collection time was inadvertently not included on the DMR for upstream and downstream conductivity and fecal coliform for April 14, 1999. A revised copy will be submitted as soon as possible which will include the necessary information. 2. Only one Total Residual Chlorine result was reported for the weeks of January 30, March 28, May 2, May 16, and August 29. Operator log book information shows additional data which was not properly transferred to the DMR's. Revised DMR's will be submitted where applicable. 3. The Effluent BOD, Ammonia,TSS,and Fecal Coliform were not reported during the week of August 15, 1999. Flow occurred only one day during the first week of school and the operator was unable to accomplish routine sampling for all parameters. The stream sampling for the same period was not reported due to the same circumstances as per the ORC. 4. The sample collection time is recorded on the Chain of Custody form and in the future will also be recorded in the operator log. The errors noted on all occasions appear to be operator oriented. These issues have been reviewed with the ORC and he has insured me that a more through job will be performed in the future. I appreciate the assistance of the evaluator during the inspection and I hope this explanation is satisfactory. If I can be of further assistance,please let me know.

PERMIT: The permitted facility is a 0.010 MGD wastewater treatment system consisting of a septic tank with dosing compartment, flow diversion box, surface sand filter bed, and tablet chlorination. The permit adequately describes the WWTP. The permit for this facility became effective on 9/1/95 and expires on 7/31/00. RECORDS AND REPORTS: Records reviewed during the inspection included the calibration log and ORC/maintenance log. No deficiencies were found. FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE: The facility appeared to be well maintained and in good operational condition. The lateral distribution lines were level and the sand was evenly raked. No vegetation was present. The top 2-3 inches of sand appeared a dark color due to the accumulation of solids. The maintenance director indicated that the top layers of sand would be replaced during a period when the school was not in session. The facility is staffed with one Grade II operator (Operator in Responsible Charge). A certified back-up operator has been designated and is available when the ORC is unable to visit the facility. LABORATORY: Laboratory analyses are performed by Water Tech Laboratory, Inc., (Certification#50) in Granite Falls, North Carolina. The lab was not evaluated during this inspection. A laboratory exemption was granted for pH and total residual chlorine (TRC) by the Division's Laboratory Certification Unit on 4/26/99. EFFLUENT/RECEIVING STREAM: The facility was not discharging at the time of the inspection. The facility discharges into an unnamed tributary to Indian Creek, which is a Class C water in the Catawba River Basin. The receiving stream did not appear to be negatively impacted. The discharge outfall was well maintained and accessible at the time of the inspection. SELF-MONITORING PROGRAM: Self-monitoring reports were reviewed for the period February 1999 through September 1999, inclusive. The following violations were noted: West Lincoln High School WWTP Page Three SELF-MONITORING PROGRAM cont'd: Monitoring Violations: -The time was not reported for the upstream and downstream fecal coliform and conductivity results on April 14, 1999. -Only one TRC result was reported for the weeks of January 30 through February 6, March 28 through April 3, May 2 through May 8, May 16 through May 22, and August 29 through September 4, 1999. -No effluent biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), ammonia, total suspended residue (TSR), fecal coliform, and dissolved oxygen were reported during the week of August 15 through August 21, 1999. -No upstream and downstream dissolved oxygen, temperature, fecal coliform, and conductivity was reported for the week of August 15 through August 21, 1999. Please be advised, if any limit and/or monitoring violations (including weekly and daily violations) is reported, then the noncompliant box must be checked, and an explanation of the corrective actions taken should be provided. The effluent sample time was not recorded during the on-site analyses for TRC. All data required for sample collection and sample analyses shall be documented in accordance with Standard Methods, 18th Edition, 1060 B and the NPDES Permit. The upstream and downstream sampling locations are consistent with permit requirements. FLOW MEASUREMENT: Instantaneous flow is currently measured by a dose counter. SLUDGE DISPOSAL: Septage is removed as needed by Robert's Septic Tank Service, Inc., of Maiden, NC. Final disposal is at the City of Newton Clarks Creek WWTP. SEWER OVERFLOW: Please be advised that pursuant to Part II, Section E of your NPDES permit, and North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection sewer, pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion of the wastewater shall be reported to the central office or the appropriate regional office (Mooresville Regional Office 704-663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the permittee became aware of the bypass.

Part II Page 1 of 14 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS SECTION A. DEFINITIONS 1. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Environmental Management. 2. DEM or Division Means the Division of Environmental Management,Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources. 3. EMC Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. 4. Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. 5. Ivlass/Day Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass 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. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge"is the total mass(weight)of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average"in Part I of the permit. Part II Page 2 of 14 ,6. Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is 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 is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value)of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. b. The "average weekly concentration,"other than for fecal coliform bacteria,is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value)of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under"Other Limits"in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily concentration" is 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" under"Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual concentration,"other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value)of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen)is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I. f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit. g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June,July through September,and October through December. Part II Page 3 of 14 7. Other Measurements a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually 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. 8. Types of Samples a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of: (1) 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 (2) 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 totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow. In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However,in no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four(4) during a 24 hour sampling period. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the receiving waters. 9. Calculation of Means a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is 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). Part II Page 4 of 14 c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as 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. 11.Hazardous Substance A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 12. Toxic Pollutant A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1)of the Clean Water Act. SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS 1.

Previous Permits All previous National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permits issued to this facility, whether for operation or discharge, are hereby revoked by issuance of this permit. [The exclusive authority to operate this facility arises under this permit. The authority to operate the facility under previously issued permits bearing this number is no longer effective. ] The conditions,requirements, terms, and provisions of this permit authorizing discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System govern discharges from this facility. SECTION C. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS 1. Certified Operator Pursuant to Chapter 90A-44 of North Carolina General Statutes, and upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. The permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and any grade to comply with the conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility at least daily, excluding weekends and holidays, and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A .0202. Once the facility is classified,the permittee shall submit a letter to the Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible charge within thirty days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50%complete. Part II Page 8 of 14 2. Proper Operation and Maintenance 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 operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. 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. 4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities a. Definitions (1) "Bypass" means 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. (2) "Severe property damage" means 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 does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. b. Bypass not exceeding limitations. 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 c. and d. of this section. c. Notice (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 affect of the bypass. (2)Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II,E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice). d. Prohibition of Bypass (1) Bypass 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 Part II Page 9 of 14 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 c. of this section. (2)The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section. 5. Upsets a. Definition. "Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. b. Effect of an upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed,contemporaneous operating logs,or other relevant evidence that: (1)An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s)of the upset; (2)The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and (3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit. (4)The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B.2.of this permit. d. Burden of proof. In any enforcement proceeding the pennittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. 6. Removed Substances Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United States.

It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The"weekly average discharge"is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge"is the total mass (weight)of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean-found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. rage t or 14 6. Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration,"other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is 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 is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value)of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliforrn bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average"under "Other Limits"in Part I of the permit b. The"average weekly concentration,"other than for fecal coliforrn bacteria,is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value)of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average"under"Other Limits"in Part I of the permit c. The "maximum daily concentration" is 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" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual concentration,"other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. e. The"daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen)is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part L f. The,"quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit. g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Part II Page 3 of 14 i. Other Measurements a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. • b. An "instantaneous flow measurement"is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. c. A "continuous flow measurement"is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually 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. 8. Types of Samples a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of: (1) 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 (2) 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 totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow. • In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However,in no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four(4) during a 24 hour sampling period. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the receiving waters. 9. Calculation of Means a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is 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). Page 4 Of 14 c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as 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. 11.razardous Substance A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 12. Toxic Pollutant A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(I)of the Clean Water Act SECTION B.

Proper Operation and Maintenance 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 operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. 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. 4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities a. Definitions (1) "Bypass" means 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. (2) "Severe property damage" means 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 does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. b. Bypass not exceeding limitations. 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 c. and d. of this section. c. Notice (1) Anticipated bypass. If the permiuee 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 affect of the bypass. (2)Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II, E. 6, of this permit. (24 hour notice). - d. Prohibition of Bypass (1) Bypass 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 • Part II Page 9 of 14 • periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineenng 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 c.of this section. (2)The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section. 5. Upsets a. Definition. "Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper • operation. b. Effect of an upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs,or other relevant evidence that (1)An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s)of the upset; (2)The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and (3) The permitter submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit. • (4)The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this permit. d. Burden of proof. In any enforcement proceeding the permitter seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. 6. Removed Substances - Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United States. The permitter shall comply with all existing federal aLI.LI Page 10of14 regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge.Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The permittte shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices. 7. power Failures The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation,Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by 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 taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period which 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.

The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The .limitation is identified as "Daily Average" or "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of al] daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday-Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This t limitation .is ident Vied as �.%iec 1 y Avf;age1, Part I ter'(. 1 of the permit. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight.) of a pollutant discharged during a c=iendar day. If only v:;e sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of poliut.enL calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sample and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "A nnual Average" In. Part I of the permit. • Part II Page 12 of 14 6. Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges samples 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 is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" or "Daily Average." under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic m"an of the daily concentration values) . The daily concentration. value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under "Ot.her. Limits" in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecnl coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily d.ischar 's sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of.-tile daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to 'the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. . Part II Page 13 of 14 7. Other Measurements a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. 8. Types of Samples a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab samples shall he no greater than hourly except where the detention time of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge period of 24 hours or less. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. 9. Calculation of Means a. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is 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) . • c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. Part II • Page 14 of 14 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as 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. 11. Hazardous Substance A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 12. Toxic Pollutant A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under: Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS A.

Definitions a. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected in a one- month period. The monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one-month period. b. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during a one-week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one-week period. c. Flow, M3/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. M5 Part I Permit No. NC e. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equiva- lent 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). f. Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following: (1 ) Not less than four influent or effluent portions collected at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and composited in proportion to flow. (2) Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional to the flow. (3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow. g. Grab Sample: A "grab sample" is a single influent or effluent portion which is not a composite sample. The sample(s) shall be collected at the period(s) most representative of the total discharge. 4. Test Procedures Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published pursuant to N. C. G.

Any anticipated facility expansions, production increases, or process modifications which will result in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must be reported by submission of a new NPDES application or, if such changes will not violate the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to the DEM of such changes. Following such notice, the permit may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited. 2. Non compliance Notification If, for any reason, the permittee does not comply with or will be unable to comply with any effluent limitation specified in this permit, the per- mittee shall provide the Division of Environmental Management with the following information, in writing, within five (5) days of becoming aware of such condition: a. A description of the discharge and cause of noncompliance; and b. The period of noncompliance, including exact dates and times; or, if not corrected; the anticipated time the noncompliance is expected to continue, and steps being taken to reduce, eliminate and prevent recurrence of the noncomplying discharge. 3. Facilities Operation The permittee shall at all times maintain in good working order and operate as efficiently as possible all treatment or control facilities or systems installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit. 4. Adverse Impact The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize any adverse impact to navigable waters resulting from noncompliance with any effluent limitations specified in this permit, including such accelerated or additional monitoring as necessary to determine the nature and impact of the noncomplying discharge. 5.

Box 400 Lincolnton, North Carolina 28092 Re: Wastewater Treatment Plants Dear Mr. Shelton: On May 4, 1983 the writer and some of you maintenance personnel inspected various on site wastewater treatment plants. The following are some of the items that need your attention. Union Elementary School 1. The ell on the slotted pipe between the septic tank and dosing chamber should be replaced. 2. A minimum of 12" of filter bed sand should be removed and re- placed with new. 3. ' The splash pads and piping in filter bed should be reworked and/or replaced as needed. . A chlorinator and chlorine contact tank should be installed. 5. The septic tank should be pumped. est Lincoln High School 1. The baffle wall in the septic tank should be raised 3 to 6 courses of brick (8" to 16"). 2. A minimum of 12" of filter bed sand should be removed and replaced with new. k 3. The siphon bell should be repaired. 4. The septic tank should be pumped. 111 I IIi , Mr. Ryan Shelton May 10, 1983 Page 2 Asbury Elementary School 1. The discharge line from filter bed to creek should be unstopped. 2. A minimum of 12" of filter bed sand should be removed and replaced with new. 3. The distribution system in filter bed should be changed. 4. A chlorinator should be installed. This could be installed in manhole in existing discharge line. East Lincoln Jr High School 1. The septic tank should be pumped. 2. The baffle wall in the septic tank should be raised (4"to 6") . 3. The lower nitrification line in left hand field should be re- paired. East Lincoln High School 1. A chlorinator should be installed. This could be installed in existing discharge line from filter bed. 2. The septic tank should be pumped. If the above repairs, etc. are done, your plants should operate more ef- ficiently. I will work up a layout, pipe size, etc. for the new distribution system for Asbury Elementary School and forward to you upon completion. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please advise. Sincerely, Lewis J.

Definitions a. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected in a one- month period. The monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one-month period. b. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during a one-week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one-week period. c. Flow, M3/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. M5 Part I Page of Permit No. NC e. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual value;. The geometric mean is equiva- lent 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 ). f. Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following: (1 ) Not less than four influent or effluent portions collected at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and composited in proportion to flow. (2) Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional to the flow. (3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow. g. Grab Sample: A "grab sample" is a single influent or effluent portion which is not a composite sample. The sample(s) shall be collected at the period(s) most representative of the total discharge. 4. Test Procedures Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published pursuant to N. C. G. S. 143-215.63 et seq, The Water and Air Quality Reporting Act, and to regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g) , 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, As Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136. 5. Recording Results For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of this permit, the permittee shall record the following information: a. The exact place, date, and time of sampling; b. The dates the analyses were performed; and c. The person(s) who performed the analyses. M6 PART I Page of Permit No. NC 6. Additional Monitoring by Permittee If the permittee monitors any pollutant at the location(s) designated herein more frequently than required by this permit, using approved analytical methods as specified above, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the values required in the Monthly Monitoring Report Form (DEM No. MR 1 .0, 1 .1 , and 1.4) Such increased frequency shall also be indicated. The DEM may require more frequent monitoring or the monitoring of other pollutants not required in this permit by written notification. 7. Records Retention All records and information resulting from the monitoring activities required by this Permit including all records of analyses performed and calibration and maintenance of instrumentation and recordings from continuous monitoring instrumentation shall be retained for a minimum of three (3) years, or longer if requested by the Division of Environmental Management or the Regional Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. PART II Permit No. NC A. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS 1 . Change in Discharge All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified in this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit.
