Attn: Ms. Min Xiao
Re: Pine Hall Elementary School WWTP Repair
Stokes County School System
NPDES Permit No: NC0087980
Dear Ms. Xiao,
Pine Hall Elementary School (PHES) is an existing public school in the Stokes County
School System (SCSS) located at 1400 Pine Hall Road, Pine Hall,NC 27042. Due to its
rural location, PHES utilizes a wastewater treatment plant(1HWTP) surface discharge
system for wastewater disposal. The WWTP is located at the rear of the school at
approximate coordinates 36.329559, -80.048665. The current NPDES permit NC0087980
authorizes Stokes County Schools to discharge wastewater from PHES WWTP.
Existing System
Pine Hall Elementary School WWTP current NPDES permit (NC0087980) became
effective on March 1, 2017 and will expire at midnight on February 28, 2022. The
existing WWTP operates as a recirculating sand filter system, and includes the following
components:
• Septic tank(+8,000 gallons)
• Dosing chamber(+2,800 gallons)
• Recirculation tank(+3,500 gallons)
• Surface sand filter(f 1,640 sq. ft.)
• Dual ultraviolet disinfection unit
Stokes County Schools Pine Hall Elementary School treatment facility is currently
authorized to discharge treated effluent into Eurins Creek, in the Roanoke River Basin,
which is classified as WS-IV waters.

Proposed Improvements and Repairs
The original (f40 years) combination septic/sand filter dosing chamber tank has
deteriorated and developed cracks over the years. The tank has been repaired several
times over the years. In an effort to be proactive the SCSS wants to replace this tank. This
system improvement will include installing a new 8,000-gallon septic tank,4,000-gallon
filter bed dosing tank with pumps,control panel, liquid level control floats, and 3-inch
supply line to the existing sand filter bed dosing manifold. These are the only
modifications/repairs proposed for this project. There will be no modifications or
expansions to the overall system treatment system process. Once the modifications are
complete the proposed system components will include as follows:
• 8,000-gallon septic tank
• 4,000-gallon dosing bed dosing tank
• 3,500-gallon recirculation tank
• Surface sand filter bed (±1,640 sq. ft.)
• Dual ultraviolet disinfection unit

Re: Pine Hall Elementary School WWTP Repair
Stokes County School System
NPDES Permit No: NC0087980
Dear Ms. Xiao,
Pine Hall Elementary School (PHES) is an existing public school in the Stokes County
School System (SCSS) located at 1400 Pine Hall Road, Pine Hall,NC 27042. Due to its
rural location, PHES utilizes a wastewater treatment plant(1 HWTP) surface discharge
system for wastewater disposal. The WWTP is located at the rear of the school at
approximate coordinates 36.329559, -80.048665. The current NPDES permit NC0087980
authorizes Stokes County Schools to discharge wastewater from PHES WWTP.
Existing System
Pine Hall Elementary School WWTP current NPDES permit(NC0087980) became
effective on March 1, 2017 and will expire at midnight on February 28, 2022. The
existing WWTP operates as a recirculating sand filter system, and includes the following
components:
• Septic tank(±8,000 gallons)
• Dosing chamber(±2,800 gallons)
• Recirculation tank (±3,500 gallons)
• Surface sand filter(±1,640 sq. ft.)
• Dual ultraviolet disinfection unit
Stokes County Schools Pine Hall Elementary School treatment facility is currently
authorized to discharge treated effluent into Eurins Creek, in the Roanoke River Basin,
which is classified as WS-IV waters.

Proposed Improvements and Repairs
The original (±40 years) combination septic/sand filter dosing chamber tank has
deteriorated and developed cracks over the years. The tank has been repaired several
times over the years. In an effort to be proactive the SCSS wants to replace this tank. This
system improvement will include installing a new 8,000-gallon septic tank, 4,000-gallon
filter bed dosing tank with pumps, control panel, liquid level control floats, and 3-inch
supply line to the existing sand filter bed dosing manifold. These are the only
modifications/repairs proposed for this project. There will be no modifications or
expansions to the overall system treatment system process. Once the modifications are
complete the proposed system components will include as follows:
• 8,000-gallon septic tank
• 4,000-gallon dosing bed dosing tank
• 3,500-gallon recirculation tank
• Surface sand filter bed (±1,640 sq. ft.)
• Dual ultraviolet disinfection unit

11. Low Pressure Air Test for Gravity Sanitary Sewers
All gravity sanitary sewer lines shall be low pressure tested prior to being placed
in surface. Described below is the procedure for air testing gravity sewer lines.
*Summary of Method- The section of the sewer line to be tested is
plugged. Low-pressure air is introduced into the plugged line. The
amount and rate of air loss is used to determine the acceptability of the
section being tested.
*Preparation of the Sewer Line- Flush and clean he seer line prior to
testing, thus serving to wet the pipe surface as well as clean out any
debris. A wetted interior pipe surface will produce more consistent
results. Plug all pipe outlets to resist the test pressure. Give special
attention to stoppers and laterals.
*Procedures- Determine the test duration for the section under test by
computation from the applicable equations shown in ASTM C 828, or
from prepared air test tables. The pressure-holding time is based on an
average holding pressure of 3 psi (21 kPa) gauge or a drop from 3.5 psi
(24 kPa)to 2.5 psi (17 kPa) gauge.

Permit NC0087980
A. (2) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS
[NCGS 143-215.1 (b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs) and program reports and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to
receive such submittals, then permittees must submit monitoring data and reports
electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The final NPDES Electronic
Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21, 2015.
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 Requirements [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)1
Effective December 21, 2016, the permittee shall report 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 internet.
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 DEQ / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
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. See
"How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
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.
Page4of7

Permit NC0087980
Starting on December 21, 2020, the permittee must electronically report the following
compliance monitoring data and reports, when applicable:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
• Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and
• Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports.
The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to
Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below).
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient
at the time of each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website
resources to identify the initial recipient for the electronic submission.
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities 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)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic
reporting tool for each type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on
how to access and use the appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well.
Information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule is found at:
http://www2.epa.gov/compliance/final-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-
system-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule.
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements"
section above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To
obtain an electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic
reporting waiver request to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting
waivers 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
submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not
exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports
shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re-applies for and
r electronic reporting waiver theDivision.
is granted a new temporary e ectro c ep g by D son. Approved
electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved
reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the
Division for the period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective.
Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are
found on the following web page:
http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
4. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and Supersedes
Section B. (11.) (d)1
Page 5 of 7

Permit NC0087980
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person
described in Part II, Section B. (11.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that
person as described in Part II, Section B. (11.)(b). A person, and not a position, must be
delegated signatory authority for eDMR reporting purposes.
For eDMR submissions, the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an
eDMR user account and login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more
information on North Carolina's eDMR system, registering for eDMR and obtaining an
eDMR user account, please visit the following web page:
http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
Certification. Any person submitting an electronic DMR using the state's eDMR system
shall make the following certification [40 CFR 122.22]. NO OTHER STATEMENTS OF
CERTIFICATION WILL BE ACCEPTED:
"I certify, under penalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared under
my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified
personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of
the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for
gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and
belief true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for
submitting false information, including the possibility of fines and imprisonment for knowing
violations."
5. Records Retention [Supplements Section D. (6.)1
The permittee shall retain records of all Discharge Monitoring Reports, including eDMR
submissions. These records or copies shall be maintained for a period of at least 3 years
from the date of the report. This period may be extended by request of the Director at
any time [40 CFR 122.41].
Page 6 of 7

Permit NC0087980
A. (3) TEMPORARY MEANS OF DISINFECTION
[NCGS 143-215.3 (a)(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 Wilmington 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 on a daily basis 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 17 µg/L; therefore,
dechlorination methods may also be necessary to ensure protection of water quality in
the receiving stream.
In the event that TRC monitoring should occur, the Division shall consider all effluent
TRC values reported below 50 pg/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 pg/L.
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.
