involved (municipals only)? Public monies will not be involved in the construction of this WW
facility.
2. Special monitoring or lit itations (including toxicity) requests: None at this time.
3. Important SOC, JOC or Compliance Schedule dates (Please indicate): N/A
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: Special conditions included in the current permit require the
permittee to evaluate various alternative prior to the construction of a WWT facility. These
conditions include:
a) The requirement to conduct a 10-flo stream study to verify the accuracy of the 30Q2
estimate for the receiving stream.
b) Conduct an evaluation of each individual lot in this proposed development for the
installation of a sub -surface disposal system prior to the construction of a WWT system
and submit this evaluation to the Division.
c) Conduct an evaluation of the potential for a connection to a regional sewer system.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee, Sam Malone and Associates, has applied for permit renewal for the proposed
Rocky River Run Subdivision WWTP. Although an AT(' has been issued for this facility,
construction has not begun on either the subdivision or the WWTP at this time.
As a result of the discrepancies in the estimated stream flow data (see Part I, 10(c)), it was
decided to reissue this permit in 2004 based on the December 1991 USGS data which indicated a
positive 7Q10/30Q2. The Division has also attempted to address concerns received from local
politicians and area residents about the low receiving stream flow by placing a condition in the
existing permit that requires the permittee to perform a low -flow stream study prior to the
construction of any WWT facilities (Condition A(2).). The current requirement is that the study
would have to be submitted and approved by the Division before it is implemented, and be consistent
with current USES flow monitoring procedures. If the results of the study indicates that the 30Q2
estimate is found to be 0.0 cfs, then no new discharge of oxygen consuming wastes would be allowed.
It is the recommendation of this Office that this matter be addressed immediately so that a
determination can be made as to whether positive stream flow exists at this location. This Office
recommends that the renewed permit be conditioned to require the low -flow stream study be
performed within 18-months of permit reissuance, and if the results of the low -flow study reveals the
30Q2 to be 0.0 cfs then the permit would be revoked per current Division policy.

comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it is suggested
that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular importance is Page 4.
Page 4 sets forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your discharge.
Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth, The section headed "Monitoring
Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types and sampling locations. Upon
commencement of your discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required monitoring. The
monitoring results must be entered on reporting forms furnished or approved by this Agency. If you
have not received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the forms, please
contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting form
(DWQ Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form. It is imperative that all applicable
parts be completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee may be
required for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our Raleigh Office. It is

The remaining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and special
conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s). The
conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment
unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater treatment plant
operator if you are operating wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in operation of
wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or discharged,
expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by
this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the Perrnittee
to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A civil
penalty of up to $25.000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties) may be assessed for such
violations. If you find at any time that you are unable to comply with the terrns and conditions of
the Pennit, you should contact this Office immediately. A Special Order by Consent (SOC) may be
necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period. Permits are not
automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180 days
prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit. This date is set forth on
Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not automatically transferable. If you, as
the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that the Division of Water Quality
rescind the Permit or request that DWQ reissue the Permit to another party, if necessary.

Permit NC0067644
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. (2). LOW -FLOW STREAM STUDY
Prior to construction of a wastewater treatment plant, the permittee shall conduct a low flow strearnflow
study at the proposed discharge location to improve the accuracy of the 30Q2 flow estimate for Caldwell
Creek. Prior to any flow data collection, the permittee will need to submit a Low Flow Study Plan to the
Division for review and approval. The study plan should be consistent with U.S. Geological Survey flow
monitoring procedures, and include adequate QA/QC methods that will ensure data integrity. This
requirement amends the Authorization to Construct permit issued June 30, 1994.
The current permit is based on the premise of a positive 30Q2 flow of 0.05 cfs. If the 30Q2 flow is
estimated to be zero based on the low -flow streain study, no new discharge of oxygen consuming waste
would be allowed per 15A NCAC 2B.0206(d)(2).
A. (3). POTW CONNECTION CONDITION
The permittee shall properly connect to an operational publicly owned wastewater collection system
within 180 days of its availability to the site, if the facility is in noncompliance with its pei mit effluent
limitations for three consecutive months.
A. (4). PHASED CONSTRUCTION CONDITION
If this facility is built in phases, plans and specifications for the next phase shall be submitted when the
flow to the existing units reaches 80% of the design capacity of the facilities online. At no time may the
flow tributary to the facility exceed the design capacity of the existing units.
A. (5). SUBSURFACE ALTERNATIVES TO DISCHARGE
The permittee shall obtain a sub -surface evaluation of each planned lot in this phase of the development
and submit a report to the Division prior to construction of a wastewater treatment system.
A. (6). EVALUATION OF CONNECTION TO A REGIONAL SYSTEM
Prior to construction, the permittee shall perform an evaluation of the possibility of connection to a
regional sewer system. The evaluation shall include the following:
1. Indicate the distance to any existing sewer line within a five -mile radius (extension of radius should
be considered if cost effective for project size).
*NOTE: All connection options should include an evaluation of both a gravity line as well as a force
main with pump station(s).
(a) Provide a description of sewer facilities and resources necessary to connect to
the receiving wastewater treatment plant.
(b) Provide a preliminary indication of flow acceptance from local municipal or
private WWTPs under consideration. If a municipal or private WWTP cannot
accept the wastewater, please explain.
(c) Attach a topographic map or a scaled site drawing showing the physical route of
this alternative.
(d) Perform a Present -Value -of -Costs Analysis for this alternative. Investigate cost -
sharing options with other potential users.
2. Planned Sewerage System: Determine if an area -wide sewerage system, within a five mile radius, is
projected to be available within the next five years that could receive waste from your project.
Determine, from the appropriate authority, an availability date and flow acceptance projection. Identify
your public utility or private management -group contact person that assisted you with this
determination.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, 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 perrnit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
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 rn1 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
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart
during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 xnilliliters. Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.
Version 6/20/2003

NPDES Permit Requiremetits
Page 2 of 16
In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems
having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples tray he collected at
intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3)
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. The Division expects that 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

Dear Mr. Malone:
Attached to this letter is the draft NPDES perrnit for the Rocky River Run Subdivision
wastewater treatment discharge, NPDES Pet mrit No. NC0067644. Please review these documents
very carefully to ensure a thorough understanding of the information, conditions, and
requirements contained therein. Once a permit is issued, except for typographical or technical
errors, the penult may be appealed only through the legal process.
The following changes have been made to the permit with this renewal cycle:
Due to the significant growth and development in the area, a requirement to evaluate
connection to a regional system has been added to the permit (See Condition A.(6.)). This
evaluation will be required prior to construction of any wastewater treatment system.
The Authorization to Construct permit issued June 30, 1994 has been amended via letter to
include the provisions of A.(2.) and A.(6.), which are required to be completed prior to
construction. The amended letter is attached along with a copy of the original Authorization to
Construct permit. Please keep these for your records.
The Division of Water Quality was required to implement a policy to adopt daily maximum
NH3-N (ammonia) limits for non -municipal facilities as required by the Code of Federal
Regulations. This implementation policy was adopted October 15, 2002. The daily maximum
values are five times the monthly average values (this value was established based on a review
of treatment capability at various non -municipal plants). This permit includes both monthly
average and daily maximum limits for NH3-N.
Any comments regarding the draft permit should be submitted no later than
approximately May 21, 2004. If you have any questions regarding the draft. NPDES pet alit,

SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. (2). LOW -FLOW STREAM STUDY
Prior to construction of a wastewater treatrnent plant, the permittee shall conduct a low flow streamflow
study at the proposed discharge location to improve the accuracy of the 3092 flow estimate for Caldwell
Creek. Prior to any flow data collection, the permittee will need to submit a Low Flow Study Plan to the
Division for review and approval. The study plan should be consistent with U.S. Geological Survey flow
monitoring procedures, and include adequate QA/QC methods that will ensure data integrity. This
requirement amends the Authorization to Construct permit issued June 30, 1994.
The current pennit is based on the premise of a positive 3092 flow of 0.05 cfs. If the 3092 flow is
estimated to be zero based on the low -flow stream study, no new discharge of oxygen consuming waste
would be allowed per 15A NCAC 2B.0206(d)(2).
A. (3). POTW CONNECTION CONDITION
The permittee shall properly connect to an operational publicly owned wastewater collection system
within 180 days of its availability to the site, if the facility is in noncompliance with its permit effluent
limitations for three consecutive months.
A. (4). PHASED CONSTRUCTION CONDITION
If this facility is built in phases, plans and specifications for the next phase shall be submitted when the
flow to the existing units reaches 80% of the design capacity of the facilities online. At no time may the
flow tributary to the facility exceed the design capacity of the existing units.
A. (5). SUBSURFACE ALTERNATIVES TO DISCHARGE
The permittee shall obtain a sub -surface evaluation of each planned lot in this phase of the development
and submit a report to the Division prior to construction of a wastewater treatment system.
A. (6). EVALUATION OF CONNECTION TO A REGIONAL SYSTEM
Prior to construction, the permittee shall perform an evaluation of the possibility of connection to a
regional sewer system. The evaluation shall include the following:
1. Indicate the distance to any existing sewer line within a five -mile radius (extension of radius should
be considered if cost effective for project size).
*NOTE: All connection options should include an evaluation of both a gravity line as well as a force
main with pump station(s).
(a) Provide a description of sewer facilities and resources necessary to connect to
the receiving wastewater treatment plant.
(b) Provide a preliminary indication of flow acceptance from local municipal or
private WWTPs under consideration. If a municipal or private WWTP cannot
accept the wastewater, please explain.
(c) Attach a topographic map or a scaled site drawing showing the physical route of
this alternative.
(d) Perform a Present-Value-of:Costs Analysis for this alternative. Investigate cost -
sharing options with other potential users.

A. (6). EVALUATION OF CONNECTION TO A REGIONAL SYSTEM (Continued)
2. Planned Sewerage System: Determine if an area -wide sewerage system, within a five mile radius, is
projected to be available within the next five years that could receive waste from your project.
Determine, from the appropriate authority, an availability date and flow acceptance projection. Identify
your public utility or private management -group contact person that assisted you with this
determination.

SUMMARY
4952
Date:
April 7, 2004
The renewal application for this facility was received June 10, 2003. The subdivision that this
permit will serve has not yet been built. This area is a fairly high growth area iri this portion of
Mecklenburg County. In the renewal application, the applicant, Samuel P. Malone, Jr. did not
indicate any immediate plans to build out the subdivision. However, Mr. Malone wishes to
retain his current permit in the event that public sewer access is not available at the time
development of the property begins.
During the previous renewals of this permit, public hearings have been held. Public hearings
were held April 3, 2001 (during the most recent renewal), June 15, 1995, and prior to 1993
(although records have been archived for this one). The hearing officers for the rnost recent two
hearings recommended that the permit be renewed with certain stipulations (and the Directors
at the time concurred with those recommendations).
The most recent renewal recommended a low -flow stream study prior to construction of the
treatment plant, a condition to connect to a publicly owned treatment plant upon availability, a
phased construction requirement, and a sub -surface evaluation of each lot (see Conditions
A.(2.) through A.(5.) for further details).
This facility discharges to subbasin 030711, Caldwell Creek in the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin.
Caldwell Creek is not listed as impaired on the state's 303(d) list and there are no immediate
water quality concerns for the creek (based on a review of the basin plan for this subbasin).
There has been much concern in the past regarding the stream -flow estimates for this area of
Caldwell Creek. As is current procedure for the NPDES Unit, previous flow estimates will be
used for this renewal. USGS was contacted in both 1995 and 2001 to reconfirm flow estimates
and no changes were made (the 7Q10s of 0.03 cfs (defined as 0 cfs) and 30Q2 of 0.05 cfs were
reconfirmed). Because these are estimations and there is no immediate streamflow gauge in
this area, the previous hearing officer recommended a low -flow stream study prior to
construction of any treatment plant.

TOXICITY TESTING:
No toxicity testing is required (minor domestic facility - per NPDES procedure, no toxicity
testing required).
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY: BASED ON THE PREVIOUS 2 YEARS
There is no compliance summary because this facility has not yet been built.
INSTREAM MONITORING:
Instream monitoring will be required for Fecal coliform, temperature, and dissolved oxygen (as
in the previous permit). None is required at this time since the facility has not yet been built
and is not discharging.
PROPOSED CHANGES:
As requested by the Mooresville Regional Office, Condition A.(6.) has been added to the NPDES
pet Writ to require the permittee to evaluate the possibility of connection to a regional system
prior to construction of any treatment system. This will also be included as an Authorization to
Construct permit amendment.
The Authorization to Construct (ATC) permit issued June 30, 1994 will be amended to include
the requirements in Conditions A.(2.) and A.(6.). The ATC is being amended to specify and
clarify Mr. Malone's responsibilities prior to any construction of a wastewater treatment facility.
As per NC's commitment to EPA Region IV (as of October 15, 2002) and in order to comply wi
the requirements of 40 CFR 122.45 (d), daily maximum limits for NH3-N will be required with
this renewal.
PROPOSED SCI-IEDULE FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE:
Draft Permit to Public Notice: After April 14, 2004
Scheduled to issue: June 7, 2004 (estimated time of issuance)

REGIONAL OFFICE COMMENT:
, please
A staff report was received November 7, 2003. Several recommendations were made in the
report:
Recommended that Condition A.(5.) of the current permit be removed (this condition
requires the evaluation of subsurface disposal for each subdivision lot). MRO believes
that the low -flow study will dictate the ultimate wastewater disposal alternative and this
condition is not necessary.
Based on the Director's previous decision and because the development may be served by
subsurface systems, this condition will remain in the permit. In addition, if the subdivision
will be built in phases this condition Ls appropriate.
Recommended that Condition A.(2.) of the current permit remain (this condition
requires a low -flow study prior to the construction of any wastewater facilities).
This will continue and art amendment to the ATC permit will be sent to the permittee via
letter.
Recommended that the availability of municipal sewer be re-evaluated prior to permit
issuance (due to the considerable amount of development in the area), If municipal
sewer is "within an economical distance to the site, the revocation of the permit should
be given consideration."
This has been added as Condition A.(6.) in the draft permit. The requirements for the
evaluation of connection to a regional system is the same as that which is required in the
NPDES Unit's Engineering Alternatives Analyses. This requirement will also be added to
the ATC amendment letter.

4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: Alternative analysis condition A(5). is a part of the current
permit, which requires the permittee to make a sub -surface evaluation of each lot and submit a
report to the Division prior to the construction of a WWT system. It is recommended that this
condition be removed from the permit upon reissuance since the low -flow study (discussed in
Part IV below) should dictate the ultimate wastewater disposal alternative the permittee chooses
once construction of this development is begun.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee, Sam Malone and Associates, has applied for peirenewal for the proposed Run
River Run Subdivision WWTP. Although an ATC has been issued for this facility, construction has
not begun on either the subdivision or the WWTP at this time.
As a result of the discrepancies in the estimated stream flow data (see Part I. 10(c)), it was
decided to allow the issuance of this permit based on the December 1991 USGS data which indicated
a positive 7Q10/30Q2. The Division also attempted to address concerns from local politicians and
area residents about the low receiving stream flow by placing a condition in the current permit that
requires the permittee to perform a low -flow stream study prior to the construction of any WWT
facilities (Condition A(2).). This study would have to be submitted and approved by the Division
before it is implemented, and be consistent with current USGS flow monitoring procedures. If the
results of the study indicates that the 30Q2 estimate is indeed 0.0 cfs, then no new discharge of
oxygen consuming wastes would be allowed. This condition should remain in the permit upon
reissuance.
Given that a considerable amount of development has occurred in and around the area where this
WWTP is proposed, it is recommended that the availability of municipal sewer be reevaluated prior to
permit issuance. If municipal sewer is found to be within an economical distance to the site, the
revocation of the permit should be given consideration.
Pending receipt of the information requested above, and a determination that municipal sewer is
still unavailable to the site at this time, it is recommended that the permit be renewed as requested.

Subject: NPDES Permit Renewal Application
Permit NC0067644
Rocky River Run Subdivision
Mecklenburg County
The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on June 10, 2003. Thank you for
submitting this package.
The permit renewal for this facility has been assigned to a staff member. This staff member will
contact you if further information is needed to complete the permit renewal. Please note that the
NPDES Unit has several vacant positions. This staff shortage has lasted for over 4 years and is
delaying all permit renewals. Our remaining permit writers are currently reviewing Authorizations
to Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit modifications and 201 plan updates ahead of
permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in
the statutes which govern our program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NC0067644 the existing requirements in your permit
will remain in effect until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We
appreciate your patience and understanding while we operate with a severely depleted staff. If
you have any additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact
Charles Weaver at [phone], extension 511.

Division staff have reviewed and approved your application for an NPDES discharge permit.
Accordingly, the Division is forwarding the subject NPDES permit. This permit is issued
pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
Based on results of the Public Hearing held on April 3, 2001, the following items have been
added to this FINAL permit:
Addition of Special Condition A(2), Low Flow Stream Study, which requires the permittee to
conduct a streamflow study prior to construction of the wastewater treatment plant. This
condition was added to verify the positive 30Q2 flow statistic, which was the primary
concern voiced at the public hearing. The permittee may install a simple 90-degree V-notch
weir to obtain the additional flow measurements. However, a study plan must be reviewed
and approved by the Division prior to data collection, to ensure that the study will produce
reliable measurements. Please note that this Special Condition amends the Authorization
to Construct per brit previously issued on June 30, 1994. Included with this packet is a
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) guidance document which describes methods for collecting
streamflow data and estimating low flow statistics. The USGS recommends data collection
during low flow summer events for several years to produce reliable flow statistics.
Addition of Special Condition A(3), POTW Connection Condition, which requires the
penmittee to connect to an operational POTW within 180 days of its availability, if the
facility is in noncompliance with its permit effluent limitations for three consecutive
months. This condition was in the previous permit.
Addition of a total residual chlorine weekly monitoring requirement, to be collected either
Friday afternoon or Saturday morning, at a location just prior to the dechlorination unit.
This measurement will provide more immediate feedback on whether the chlorination unit
is providing adequate chlorine to control fecal coliform bacteria, prior to weekend
recreational use of the stream.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within
thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written
petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the
office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-
6714. Unless such a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding.

SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A (2). LOW -FLOW STREAM STUDY
Prior to construction of a wastewater treatment plant, the permittee shall conduct a low flow
streamflow study at the proposed discharge location to improve the accuracy of the 30Q2 flow
estimate for Caldwell Creek. Prior to any flow data collection, the permittee will need to submit
a Low Flow Study Plan to the Division for review and approval. The study plan should be
consistent with U.S. Geological Survey flow monitoring procedures, and include adequate
QA/QC methods that will ensure data integrity. This requirement amends the Authorization to
Construct permit issued June 30, 1994.
The current permit is based on the premise of a positive 30Q2 flow of 0.05 cfs. If the 30Q2 flow
is estimated to be zero based on the low -flow stream study, no new discharge of oxygen
consuming waste would be allowed per 15A NCAC 2B.0206(d)(2).
A (3). POTW CONNECTION CONDITION
The permittee shall properly connect to an operational publicly owned wastewater collection
system within 180 days of its availability to the site, if the facility is in noncompliance with its
penult effluent limitations for three consecutive months.
A (4). PHASED CONSTRUCTION CONDITION
If this facility is built in phases, plans and specifications for the next phase shall be submitted
when the flow to the existing units reaches 80% of the design capacity of the facilities online.
At no time may the flow tributary to the facility exceed the design capacity of the existing units.
A (5). ALTERNATIVES TO DISCHARGE
The permittee shall obtain a sub -surface evaluation of each planned lot in this phase of the
development and submit a report to the Division prior to construction of a wastewater
treatment system.

PART I
(continued)
Section B. Schedule of Compliance
1. The permittee shall comply with Final Effluent Limitations specified for discharges in accordance with
the following schedule:
Permittee shall comply with Final Effluent Limitations by the effective date of the permit unless
specified below.
2. Permittee shall at all times provide the operation and maintenance necessary to operate the existing
facilities at optimum efficiency.
No later than 14 calendar days following a date identified in the above schedule of compliance, the
permittee shall submit either a report of progress or, in the case of specific actions being required by
identified dates, a written notice of compliance or noncompliance. In the latter case, the notice shall
include the cause of noncompliance, any remedial actions taken, and the probability of meeting the next
schedule requirements.

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 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.
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 1 of the permit.

Part LI
Page 2 of 11
6. b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, i 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.
g.
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.
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.
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.
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.
S. Types of Samples
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 th.e time of individual sample collection, or

Part II
Page 3 of 11
8. a.
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 he 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.
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:
Water Act.
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean

SECTION C. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POI.I.UTION 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 NCAC Chapter 8G .0200. 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, NCAC Chapter 8G .0200. 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©/o complete.
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.

Part II
Page 7 of 11
4. b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, hut
only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the
provisions of Paragraphs c, and cl. 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 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 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.
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. Reporting
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and reported on a
monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (DEM No. MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by
the Director, DEM, postmarked no later than the 30th day following the completed reporting period.
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. Duplicate signed copies of
these, and all other reports required herein, shall be submitted to the following address:
NC DENR / Division of Water Quality / Water Quality Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Flow Measurements
Appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific practices shall be selected
and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. The
devices shall be installed, calibrated and maintained to ensure that the accuracy of the measurements are
consistent with the accepted capability of that type of device. Devices selected shall be capable of measuring
flows with a maximum deviation of less than 10% from the true discharge rates throughout the range of expected
discharge volumes. Once -through condenser cooling water flow which is monitored by pump logs, or pump
hour meters as specified in Part I of this permit and based on the manufacturer's pump curves shall not be
subject to this requirement.

4. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the INC regulations published pursuant to
NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, 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; or in the case of sludge use or disposal, approved under 40 CFR 136, unless otherwise specified in 40 CFR
503, unless other test procedures have been specified in this permit.
Part II
Page 9 of 11
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce minimum
detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all data generated must be
reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are
determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below permit discharge requirements,
then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved method must
be used.
5. Penalties for Tampering
The Clean Water Act provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate, any
monitoring device or method required to be maintained under this permit shall, upon conviction, be punished by
a fine of not more than $10,000 per violation, or by imprisonment for not more than two years per violation, or
by both. If a conviction of a person is for a violation committed after a first conviction of such person under this
paragraph, punishment is a fine of not more than $20,000 per day of violation, or by imprisonment of not more
than 4 years, or both.
6. Records Retention
Except for records of monitoring information required by this permit related to the permittee's sewage sludge use
and disposal activities, which shall be retained for a period of at least five years (or longer as required by 40 CFR
503), the permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including all calibration and maintenance
records and all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation, copies of all reports
required by this permit, for a period of at least 3 years from the date of the sample, measurement, report or
application. This period may be extended by request of the Director at any time.
7. Recording Results

The Division received your permit renewal application on March 24, 1999. Thank you for
submitting this package in a timely fashion.
The permit renewal for this facility will be assigned to a member of the NPDES Unit staff.
That staff member will contact you if further information is needed to complete the permit
renewal. I regret to inform you that we have lost several staff members in the past few months,
leaving the NPDES Unit with four vacant positions. This staff shortage is causing delays in our
processing of permit renewals. Our remaining staff are currently reviewing Authorizations to
Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit modifications and 201 plan reviews ahead of
permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in
the statutes which govern our program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NC0067644, the existing requirements in your
permit will remain in effect until the permit is renewed (or other action is taken by the Division).
We appreciate your patience and understanding while we operate with diminished resources. If
you have any additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact me at

SUBJECT: NPDES Permit No. NC0067644
Rocky River Run Subdivision
Mecklenburg County
Thank you for your interest in the notice of intent to issue an NPDES permit
for the discharge of wastewater from the Rocky River Run Subdivision that
was published in August in the Charlotte Observer. I have been asked to
respond to your request for a public meeting and to advise you on the status
of the proposed permitting action.
The August public notice of intent to issue the permit stated that the
receiving stream for the discharge had no flow under low flow conditions.
However, this statement is in error as the flow has been determined to be
p©sitiye,.as- onfirwedhby the_United States Geologic; Sury win December 1991
when this permit was last being reviewed for reissuance (copy attached).
In response to your concerns on the ability of the system to maintain
compliance with the stringent effluent limits, there are other similar facilities
currently operating in compliance these stringent limits. The operator of the
system is responsible for complying with the permit limits, however, the
Division will conduct oversight to ensure compliance is attained. The
proposed facility is classified as a class II wastewater treatment plant. In
accordance with the regulations, this classification requires that a certified
operator visit the facility at a minimum of once per week. You are correct
that visitation is not mandated on holidays, however, compliance with
permit limitations is required. Additionally, to address the concern with
power outages affecting the operation of the facility and again in accordance
with regulations, the Division requires that stand-by power be provided or
that the applicant demonstrate that the system will not impact the receiving
stream during power failures. In the case of this permit, stand-by power was
required.

As you are aware, the North Carolina General Statutes mandate that the most
environmentally sound of the economically reasonable alternatives be
permitted. The economic evaluation must include operational as well as
captial costs for the available alternatives. Included in the capital costs are
such items as the sewer, the treatment facility and would include any land
access/easement costs for the sewer alternative. As a result of the distance
and difficult construction conditions, along the creek, the alternative to
connect to the sewer is not considered to an economically feasible alternative
at this time.
Since the notification published in the newspaper did not contain the correct
information, the proposed permitting action is being re -noticed on December
15, 1994 to ensure that the public has the correct information upon which to
submit comments. Upon closure of the notice period, if there remain
significant concerns associated with the proposed actions, the issues will be
forwarded to the Director for consideration of holding a public meeting
regarding the permit renewal.
The complete files on the past permit decisions are available in Central Files
and Archives (for files predating 1990), in Raleigh. If you wish to view these
files, the offices are open from 8 AM until 5 PM during the week.
Again, thank you for your interest in water quality and I apologize for any
misunderstanding the error in the original public notice created and for this
delayed notice. Attached for your information is a copy of the corrected public
notice that is being published. If you have questions or would like to discuss
the Rocky River Run Subdivision project further, please call Susan Robson at

respond to your request for a public meeting and to advise you on the status

The August public notice of intent to issue the permit stated that the

However, this statement is in error as the flow has been determined to be
positive, as confirmed by the United States Geologic Survey in December 1991
when this permit was last being reviewed for reissuance. Additionally, please
be advised that this is not currently an operational facility. The authorization
to construct was issued under the last permit, however, construction has not
commenced at this time. I believe the facility to which you were referring in
your letter was the Howell's Child Care wastewater treatment plant. As a
result of on -going compliance problems and the extension of sewer to service
the Howell's Child Care facility, it has in fact been eliminated. However, this
sewer is not considered to be an economically feasible alternative to the Rocky
River Run subdivision as a result of the distance and difficult construction
conditions to gain access to the sewer.

1. NPDES No. NC0067644. Samuel P. Malone, Jr., P© Box 1139, Matthews, NC 28106 has applied
for a permit renewal for a facility located at the Rocky River Run Subdivision WWTP at the end of
Marlstone Lane off NCSR 2810, north of Allen, Mecklenburg County. The facility discharges 0.020
MGD of treated domestic wastewater from one outfall into Caldwell Creek, a Class C stream in the
Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin which has a 30Q2 flow of 0.05 cfs. Dissolved oxygen, BOD5, and ammonia
are water quality limited. For some parameters, the available load capacity of the immediate receiving
water will be consumed. This may affect future water quality based effluent limitations for additional
dischargers within this portion of the watershed.

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. NE iC
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.
e. 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 analog 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.

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 perrnittee 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 11, 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 perrnittee shall comply with all existing federal

Part II
Page 10 of 14
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 1.5A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability,

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. Mass/Dav 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 Mea,surement
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.
g•
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.
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 Measurement$,
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 repmsentative 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.

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 permitmplied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this
permit.

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

Part II
Page 1©of 14
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.
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.

Dear Permittee:
The subject permit expires on September 30, 1999. North Carolina General Stature 143.215.1(c) requires that an
application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than April 3,
1999. Failure to request renewal by April 3, 1999 will result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after September 30, 1999 (or if continuation of the permit is desired), the
permit must not be allowed to expire. Operation of waste treatment works or continuation of a discharge after
September 30, 1999 would violate NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000
per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at the subject facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Robert
Farmer of the Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 531. You in ay also contact the
Mooresville Regional Office at [phone] to begin the rescission process.

Dear Mr. Malone:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0067644 was
issued on December 6, 1995 for the discharge of wastewater to the
surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of
this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and
the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms

facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment
facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or
discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment
facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES
Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to

may be assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that
you are unable to comply with the terms and conditions of the
Permit, you should contact this Office immediately. A Consent
Order may be necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a
five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed. Renewal
requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180 days
prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of
your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also
note that NPDES Permits are not transferable. If you, as the
Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that
the Permit be rescinded.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to
advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read the

Rocky River Run Subd. WWTP is discharging near the headwaters of
Caldwell Creek. Although the 1986 flows at this discharge site indicated a
positive 30Q2, recently requested flows further downstream showed lower
30Q2 values. Because of all the flow discrepancies on Caldwell Crk, the
more recently calculated flows (1990) further downstream will be relied
upon. Essentially, this discharge is to a 0.0 30Q2 & 7Q10s portion of
Caldwell Crk. Zero flow policy should be in effect. Recommend removal of
discharge; facility must send engineering report within 12 months showing
no alternative to discharge. Subdivision should receive existing limits
for the first three years, then more stringent limits after three years.
No compliance data exists for this facility. An A to C was issued

2. DEM or Division
Means the Division. of Environmental Management, Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development. 3. EMC:
Used herein means the North Carolina. Environmental Management Commission.
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. MassjDay Measurements
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 "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit.
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 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
limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in. Part I of the permit.
The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a
pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample i
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.

Part II
Page 12 of 14
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 "Annual Average" in Part I of the
permit.
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"
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 duringa calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on. whichdaily 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 1 of the permit.

Part II
Page 13 of 14
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.
The "daily minimum concentration" (for dissolved oxygen only) is the
minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in
the effluent prior to discharge. It is identified as "Daily Minimum" under
"Other Limits" in Part III of the permit.
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.
Types of Samples
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 be 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.

Part II
Page 14 of 14
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).
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.
