Box 240908 Charlotte, North Carolina 28224 Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO086592 The Point Well #1 WTP Iredell County Facility Classification PC-1 Dear Mr. Konsul: Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge 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 October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). Thank you for your expedited response to my email dated August 12, 2013. Regarding your two comments made on the final permit the Division offers the following responses. NPDES understands that a discharge from Ion Exchange backwash is not always predictable. As a result, many Ion Exchange WTPs choose to initiate a manual backwash and proceed to collect aliquot samples at spaced intervals to obtain a representative sample. Some Ion Exchange WTPs have chosen to install composite samplers to decrease the operator responsibilities but this can be costly. NPDES appreciates your efforts to schedule sampling visits to coincide with expected backwashing or to manually place the softeners into backwash mode in order to collect a sample. The Division does find this practice to be acceptable. Note that a representative sample is considered to be the wastewater being discharged and not the static wastewater in the holding tank. Regarding your comment on turbidity sampling, please.note that in a letter dated Feb. 25, 2009 from EPA Region IV the state is obligated to put turbidity monitoring in the NPDES permit. This also 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Location: 512 N.

It is recommended that the test be performed using a turbidity meter. All the changes made in.this permit renewal as compared to the current permit are as follows: • The receiving waterbody is not listed as Nutrient Sensitive Waters and the maximum discharge flow is less than 0.05 MGD. Therefore, per the Water Treatment Plant Strategy, Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen monitoring have been removed from the permit. • Ammonia- nitrogen monitoring was removed from the permit since sampling results did not show significant concentration levels of ammonia -nitrogen in the effluent. • Flow monitoring has been increased to twice a month and a footnote was added to the permit stating that flow shall be measured the same date samples are collected for analysis. If an instantaneous sample is collected the duration of the discharge event shall be recorded in a log book and available for inspection. • Monthly Turbidity monitoring has been added to the permit in accordance with a letter received from EPA Region IV dated Feb. 25, 2009 and in accordance with Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 213.0500. • Footnote number 3 was amended under Section A (1.) to include the following statement: TRC limit and monitoring requirement only apply if chlorine is used for disinfection. The Permittee shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC -certified laboratory [including field - certified]. Effluent values below 50 µg/L will be treated as zero for compliance purposes. • The wording in Section A. (2.) has been changed and the following paragraph added: If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report and all AT Forms submitted. . • Copper, zinc, and iron effluent samples reported from May 2008 through June 2011 showed reasonable potential to violate North Carolina Water Quality Standards. Since copper, zinc, and iron have Action Level standards and should be reviewed in conjunction with quarterly toxicity testing, it is recommended that monitoring for these parameters remain in the NPDES permit at a reduced monitoring frequency of quarterly. It is anticipated, that discharge alternatives assessed as part of the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation, will likely eliminate toxicity failures in the effluent as well. • Effluent sampling data evaluated from May 2008 to June 2011 for lead, manganese, chloride, and total dissolved solids showed reasonable potential to violate North Carolina Water Quality Standards for all these parameters.

This assessment is outlined in a special condition in Section A.(3) Discharge Alternatives Evaluation. The evaluation findings are to be submitted to the Division within four years of the effective date of this permit and the findings will be used in drafting the next permit renewal. The Division recognizes that determining both how to comply Page 3 of 3 with WQS's and provide residents with safe, acceptable and clean drinking water is a complex issue. This evaluation is being requested to determine whether there are any economical and technologically feasible alternatives available to the Permittee to comply with NC Water Quality Standards. The wording in Section A.(3) Discharge Alternatives Evaluation was modified as compared to the wording in the email sent on August 12, 2013. Changes were requested in an effort to more clearly state the objective of the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation. Please review it carefully. • Section A. (4.) Alternatives Evaluation Re -opener was added to the permit to identify to the Permittee that the Division may re -open this permit to include the findings from the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation in the form of a compliance schedule. • The Supplement to Cover was corrected as requested. 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 demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Resources or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.

CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL MONITORING (QUARTERLY) The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010, or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 90 %. The testing shall be performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 7-day pass/fail test. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September, and December. These months signify the first month of each three month toxicity testing quarter assigned_ to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, .pipe number, county, and the month/year,of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to ,the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation 8s reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT Forms submitted. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring. Page 4 of 5 Permit NC0086592 A. (3.) DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES EVALUATION In an effort to comply with North Carolina Water Quality Standards (WQS) for the following parameters: chloride, manganese, lead, and total dissolved solids; the Permittee shall assess potential discharge alternatives. It is recommended that the evaluation thoroughly assess 3 to 4 of the following alternatives: 1. Connect discharge to a WWTP: Determine whether the wastewater can be discharged to a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) or pumped and hauled to a WWTP. Approval or disapproval from the municipality should be acquired. 2. Obtain a Non -discharge permit: Eliminate the surface water discharge by obtaining a non -discharge permit for spray irrigation, infiltration, or subsurface disposal (on -site drainfield, infiltration gallery, injection wells). 3. Install Wastewater Treatment: Install improved wastewater treatment to enable the facility effluent to consistently comply with Water Quality Standards. If this is not technically feasible or cost prohibitive, please explain and provide estimated costs. 4. Use Alternative Water Source: Obtain drinking water from another source (nearest County, City, or Town or other wells) so either the discharge is eliminated or compliance with WQS's is achieved. 5. Use Alternative Water Treatment Method: Install alternative and/or innovative water treatment methods or operational improvements that do not produce noncompliant wastewaters. For example, installing a recycle iron/manganese filtration system with no discharge. 6. Discharge to a Larger stream: Relocate the facility's discharge to a larger receiving stream and determine if limits can be achieved given the increased dilution. 7. Combination of Alternatives: Employ any combination of the alternatives listed above that would result in achieving compliance with Water Quality Standards. The evaluation shall include a present value of costs analysis for all technologically feasible options as outlined in the Division's "Engineering Alternatives Analysis Guidance Document." This Document can be found at: http: / / portal.ncdenr. org /web /wq / swp /ps / npdes / permits. This evaluation is being requested to determine whether there are any economical and technologically feasible alternatives available to the Permittee to comply with NC Water Quality Standards. If one or two discharge alternatives are available to the Permittee, please identify the preferred alternative and an estimated timeline for implementation. The Permittee shall submit the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation to the Division at the address listed below four years after the effective date of this permit (by October 2, 2017).

Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series, of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or Version 1110912011 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also "Composite Sample," above.) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DWQ or "the Division" The Division of Water Quality,' Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Effluent Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source whether treated or untreated. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow -this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Version 1110912011 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge during that sampling period. Monthly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance.caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1.

Box 240908 Charlotte, North Carolina 28224 Subject: NPDES Permit NCO086592 The Point — Well #1 WTP Iredell County Dear Mr. Lashua: Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NCO086592 was issued on March 22, 2005 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 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. For new permits/facilities, the Division may supply an initial small stock of these forms; however, if you fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as possible. The forms, including directions for their completion, and other important information are also available at http:Hh2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.html. 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 fee may be required for your facility; if so, you will receive a statement from our Raleigh Office. It is imperative that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent enforcement action or possible revocation of your permit. 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.

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 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. As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville if you have any questions or need clarification. We'look forward to providing any assistance. Sincerely, D.

Box 240908 Charlotte, NC 28224 Subject: Dear Mr. Lashua: w- R 2 2110 Issuance of NPOE5 Permit NCO086592 The Point — Well #1 WTP Iredell County Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached 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). In response to your questions/comments on the draft permit: ➢ A summary of our permitting strategy for ion -exchange water treatment plants was included with your draft permit. In your comments you indicated the "permitting strategy appears flawed." The full workgroup findings, along with the participants involved on the workgroup, is available on our websiteathttp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.html. The 77-page document is entitled "Assessment and Recommendations for Water Treatment Plant Permitting: Findings of the Water Treatment Plant Workgroup." The new permitting strategy for water treatment plants affects all membrane and sodium cycle cationic exchange water treatment plants regardless of the facility's compliance history. ➢ We understand that the new requirements will increase man-hours and costs associated with the operation of your facility. The new requirements are an attempt by the Division to collect more information about the nature of your discharge so that we can properly characterize your effluent, as well as the effect your discharge may have on the receiving water. These requirements are consistent for all water treatment plants using ion exchange technology. By requiring monthly monitoring for the new parameters, we aim to minimize the disruption to your operations while still gathering important data. We do not believe that these requirements pose an impractical burden on a properly operated facility. The-Division,will re-evaluate the monitoring requirements at the next permit renewal in 2010. ➢ Please contact Jim Meyer; in the�Lab Certification Branch at (919) 733-3908, extension 207 with any questions about the procedure for obtaining specific parameter certifications or for obtaining a list of certified laboratories. ➢ In your comments you indicated there is no upstream or downstream flow in the receiving water, except during rain events. The stream monitoring requirement will remain in the permit. However, if when sampling is conducted there is no stream flow, then simply indicate "No Flow" on the monitoring report. ➢ With regard to your comment that the conductivity monitoring requirement has been removed from "Most all NPDES permits," this is not entirely correct. The instream monitoring requirement for conductivity was removed from those NPDES permits with 100% domestic wastewater only. Your facility, an ion -exchange water treatment plant, does not fall into this category, and hence is still subject to the instream conductivity monitoring requirement.

The TRC limit will not take effect until eighteen (18) months after the effective date of the final permit. This eighteen (18) month grace period, which will conclude on October 31, 2006, will allow you the needed time to make any modifications to your plant as well as time to purchase new equipment or to find a certified laboratory able to conduct the TRC analysis. The Division's TRC policy memo was included with your draft permit. ➢ In your comments you objected to the need for the chronic toxicity testing requirement. You stated, "We oppose jjEy testing requirement for parameters that do not have a proposed limit." Again we understand the requirements will increase man-hours and costs associated with the operation of your facility. The new requirements are an attempt by the Division to collect more information about the nature of your discharge so that we can properly characterize your effluent, as well as the effect your discharge may have on the receiving stream. At this time, your permit currently includes chronic toxicity monitoring. This is not a "pass/fail" test; rather the purpose is to gather information about the nature of your discharge. ' We need to determine whether your effluent discharge has a toxic effect on the receiving stream. Based on the data gathered, we will be able to determine whether or not future limits will be required. At this time we do not have sufficient information to make this determination. The Division may re-evaluate this monitoring requirement at the next permit renewal in 2010. This permit includes a TRC limit that will take effect on November 1, 2006. 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 demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not -affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required. If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Vanessa Manuel at (919) 733-5083, extension 532.

Until the limit becomes effective, the permittee shall monitor Total Residual Chlorine (with no effluent limit). 3. See Special Condition A (2) below. All samples must be collected from a typical discharge event. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. Permit NCO086592 A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMT MONITORING (Quarterly) The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia. Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 90%. The permit holder shall performquarter lu monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September, and December. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention:North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring. NPDES Permit Requirements Page 1 of 16 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. B ass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar D period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Quarter i One of the, following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through -September,_ and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 ,hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals_ shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1 /24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (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 milliliters. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. Version 612012003 NPDES Permit Requirements 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 may be 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 Dis_ chargge 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 for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).

We are pleased that you found this facility well maintained and we respond to the noted issues as follows: . Operation and Maintenance It was noted on the December 14, 2006 Inspection as a "recommendation" to record the results at this facility. Ms. Hood indicated on the current inspection that this was still an issue and has not been corrected. Process control tests are -being performed and -the -results -are documented on the sample -chain of custodies as well as the monthly DMR. Effluent -Flow Measurement The permit; requires an instantaneous flow measurement. Instantaneous flow is determined by the designed specifications of each softener vessel during the backwash cycle. Once in the backwash cycle the softener is timed -to discharge 50 gallons per minute for backwash and fast rinse and 3.5 gallons per minute in the brine draw cycle. When in operation there is no discharge. The flow meters were installed as an added benefit and also to help with our monthly water accountability. The flow meter was calibrated 8/26109 and was put on an annual schedule. Effluent Sampling We have evaluated our sampling procedures and made changes to allow for the 10 day separation between sampling; however,.all samples collected in the specified months were within the permit limits.

Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. If you have already mailed your renewal application, you may disregard this notice. To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than October 2, 2004. Failure to request renewal by this date may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. If any wastewater discharge will occur after March 31, 2005, the current permit must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1; unpermitted discharges of wastewater may be assessed civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day. If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Bob Sledge of the Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at (919) 733-5083, extension 547.

DEM or "the Division" Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources. 3. EMC Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. 4. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. 5. Mass/Day Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled -and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such, year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of'pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined �as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. Part II Page 2 of 14 6. Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The, average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. b. The "average weekly concentration," 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 1 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 Il 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. 1=s 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 0). c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. Part H Page 4 of 14 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 11. Hazardous Substance A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 12. Toxic Pollutant A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS 1.

A Part II Page 8 of 14 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 in 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. i I 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 (0 The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section. (2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph. d. (1) of this section. Part II Page 9 of 14 S. PRsets 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 I1, 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 CPR Part 503, any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of Sewage, Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee -shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices. 7. Power Failures The permittee'is responsible -for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation, Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent. Part II Page 10 of 14 SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS 1. Representative Sampling Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a .frequency less than daily shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period which the sample represents. 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.

Thank you for submitting these packages. The permit renewal for these facilities 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. Please note that the NPDES Unit has several vacant positions. This staff shortage has lasted for over a year 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 these permits, the existing requirements in each permit will remain in effect until the permits are renewed (or the Division takes other action). We appreciate your patience and understanding while we operate with a depleted staff.

Part II Page 1 of 14 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS SECTION A. DEFINITIONS 1. Permit Issuing_ Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. 2. DEM or "the Division" Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources. 3. E C Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. 4. Actor "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. 5. Mass/Day Measurements a. The 'monthly average discharge is .defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part. I of the permit. d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. Part II Page 2 of 14 6. Concentration Measurement a . The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily.. concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite. sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. b. The "average weekly concentration,". 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 1. 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 rootof the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1). c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the,summation of the respective flows. Part II Page 4 of 14 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 11. Hazardous Substance A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 12. Toxic Pollutant A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS l .

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. Part II Page 8 of 14 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 Per Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass, unless: (A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; (B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and (C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section. (2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section. Part II Page 9 of 14 5. Uvsets 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 ofparagraph 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 e a Partnd Dispospo The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use asal of Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices. 7. Power Failures The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation, Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately_ treated effluent. Part H Page 10 of 14 SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS 1. Representative Sampling Samples collected and= measurements taken, as required herein, shall be -characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected,at a frequency less than daily shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the 'discharge over the entire .period which the sample represents. 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 wastestreain, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority.' . 2.

This application packag enclosed. e was returned to us due to the use of an outdated form. For your ease of reference, a copy of your October 9`h review letter is The Point and The Harbour are. adjoining subdivisions developed by,Crescent Resources Inc., and are served by a water system owned and operated by Carolina Water Service. A permit DES NC 0084565) has been previously issued for discharge of softener backwash for the first well system constructed in the Harbour. Since the softeners use a cation exchange resin for hardness removal, there is no contamination in the backwash and the NPDES permit was issued without a requirement for alternative analysis. In essence, this type of system is a filtering process similar to the same type process as a swimming pool backwash, except only clean well water is filtered, thus there would seem to be no. basis for concern as to adverse water quality impacts. qE if We respectfully request a re -consideration to regard to this requirement for alternative analysis as a �ret-111- 114 bbOb low priority; no contamination discharge. ti�a �I , We are also enclosing an application and processing fee of $400.00, and three (3) sets of plans for a second discharge point for a water softener discharge for new Well Number 4 for the Harbour. Although we are filing for a new permit for The Point, it would be preferable and seems logical, if possible, to include this system as a third point of discharge within the overall Harbour/Point Water System, since it will be owned in it's entirety by Carolina Water Service, is contiguous, and since it is possible that additional discharge points may be requested in the future due to the distances separating the wells. 1700, East Blvd., Charlotte, NC 28203 • Telephone: 704.376.7777 • Fax: 704.376.8235 We appreciate your cooperation, and hope you will let us know if the decision is to require the analysis as soon as possible.

The softeners can and do backwash at various times of the day and or night depending on demand. Since the water softeners discharge at various times throughout the day and night and not knowing exactly when that might be, it would be extremely difficult to sample during a discharge event under normal circumstances. However, based on Mr. Bells comments and suggestions, we have developed a Standard Operating Procedure which will require us to manually initiate a softener backwash to ensure that there is flow at the time of sample collection. Therefore, all eDMR's going forward will have a flow recorded on the day sampling occurred. The noted eDMR's in the compliance evaluation inspection will be revised and resubmitted for the following results, conductivity, lead, manganese and salinity. We apologize for this oversight and have taken steps to insure this does not happen again in the future. Furthermore, we have contracted Prism Laboratory's in Charlotte NC to begin analyzing conductivity and salinity and to provide_ us with the results in the units provided on the eDMR to reduce these errors going forward. • 4944 Parkway Plaza Blvd. Ste 375 . • Charlotte, North Carolina 28217 •800-525-7990 Effluent Sampling; Carolina Water Service has developed and implemented a Standard Operating Procedure based upon Mr. Bells recommendations and comments.

Please be advised that effluent sampling should only be performed during discharge events. In addition, any of these months/DMRs with incorrectly reported flow measurements must be revised and resubmitted to the Division. The effluent results for conductivity (November 2016, February.— May 2017) were not properly converted to the units listed on the DMRs. All applicable DMRs must be revised and resubmitted to the Division. The units of. measurement being reported for the effluent salinity during the review period included ppt, g/I,' and mg/I. `Please note that-ppt represents parts per trillion and ppth represents parts per thousand in the eDMR system. The ORC and staff must review all DMRs during the review period and ensure all effluent salinity results were reported in the correct units of measurement.

The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to report information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports. The rule does not change what information is required from -facilities. It only changes the method by which information is provided (i.e., electronic rather than paper -based). EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period. The two phases of the rule, and their key milestones, are: Phase 1—Starting on December2l, 2016, regulated entities that are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) will begin submitting these reports electronically, instead of on paper. If you are currently reporting your DMR data electronically using eDIVIR, then you simply need to continue reporting in the same way as you are now. The key change is that, starting on December 21, 2016, electronic reporting of DMRs will be required, instead of voluntary. Phase 2—Starting on December 21, 2020, regulated entities that are required to submit.certain other NPDES reports will begin submitting these reports electronically, instead of on paper. Reports covered in the second phase include Notices of Intent to discharge in compliance with an NPDES general permit, Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports, and a number of other NPDES program reports. For more information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule, visit http://www2.epa.gov/compliance/final-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-npdes electronic -reporting -rule. For more information on electronic reporting to NC DWR, visit http://deg.nc.goy/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr/npdes-electronic-reporting or contact Vanessa Manuel at 919=807-6392 or via email at Vanessa.Manuel@ncdenr.gov. State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Water Resources 1611 Mail service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1611 919 707 9000 Sixty Days' Notice of Minor Modification of the Subject NPDES Permit The NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule requires authorized NPDES programs to incorporate electronic reporting requirements into NPDES permits beginning December 21, 2015. Under the new rule, the electronic reporting process supersedes the paper reporting process outlined in your existing permit. To bring your permit up-to-date with the new reporting requirements, this letter serves to notify you that in sixty days your NPDES permit will be modified to incorporate the new electronic reporting requirements. The modification will require electronic reporting in place of paper -based reporting. Electronic reporting will be required beginning as indicated above for Phases 1 and 2 reporting. Please attach the enclosed NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Part ill —Addendum to your permit. This permit modification becomes effective on July 1, 2016. All other terms and conditions in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. This modification 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 October 15, 2007. If any parts contained in this modification are unacceptable to you, then you have the right to file a petition for a contested case with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This petition must conform to the requirements of Chapter 150E of the North Carolina General Statutes. Petitions must be timely filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 11666, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604.

Secretary Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Permit NCO086592 The Point Well #1 WTP Iredell County Facility Classification PC-1 Dear Mr. Konsul: Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully to ensure that you thoro uglily understand the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following changes from your current permit: • The receiving waterbody is not subject to Nutrient Sensitive Waters Classification, and the maximum discharge flow is less than 0.05 MGD. Therefore, per the Water Treatment Plant Strategy, Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen monitoring have been removed from the permit. • The maximum DMR result reported for ammonia- nitrogen was less than 0.10 mg/L, so ammonia - nitrogen monitoring was removed from the permit per the Water Treatment Plant Strategy Guidelines. • Flow monitoring has been increased to twice a month and a footnote was added to the permit stating that flow shall be measured the same date samples are collected for analysis. •. Monthly Turbidity monitoring has been added to the permit in accordance with a letter received from EPA Region IV dated Feb. 25, 2009 and in accordance with Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 2B .0500. • Footnote number 3 was amended under Section A (1.) to include the following statement: TRC limit and monitoring requirement only apply if chlorine is used for disinfection. The Permittee shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC -certified laboratory [including field -certified]. Effluent values below 50 µg& will be treated as zero for compliance purposes. • The wording in Section A. (2.) has been changed and the following paragraph added: If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report and all AT Forms submitted. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Location: 612 N.

Since copper, zinc, and iron have Action Level standards and should be reviewed in conjunction with quarterly toxicity testing, it is recommended that monitoring for these parameters remain in the NPDES permit at a reduced monitoring frequency of quarterly. • Sampling data evaluated from May 2008 through December 2012 for Lead, Manganese, Chloride, and Total Dissolved Solids shows reasonable potential exists to violate North Carolina Water Quality Standards for water supply waters and as a result, monthly monitoring and limits have been added to the permit. Summary of parameter monitoring frequency and limit additions for TDS, Chloride, Mn, and Pb. Total Dissolved Solids Twice per Month 500 rng/L Total Chloride Monthly 250 mg/L Total Manganese Monthly 200 µg/L Total Lead Monthly 25 Effluent data provided in the Discharge Monitoring Reports indicates the current discharge treatment may not be adequate to meet these new permit limits. A special condition in Section A.(3.) has been added to this permit allowing five years before the new permit limitations become effective. It also requires that the permittee perform an interim evaluation to assess the feasibility and costs of complying with the limits. This evaluation should consider the feasibility and costs of a variety of options such as: installing wastewater treatment to meet the limitations, using other wastewater disposal alternatives, installing an alternative potable treatment method, or obtaining drinking water from another source. The evaluation report and the alternative selected by the permittee to comply with the new limitations shall be sent to DWQ three years after the permit becomes effective. Concurrent with this transmittal, the Division will solicit public comment on this draft as required by the EPA by publishing a notice in newspapers having circulation in the general Iredell County area. Please review this draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the information, conditions, and requirements contained therein. Should you wish to correct errors or provide comments regarding this draft please contact the NCDENR/DWQ/NPDES Program no later than May 3, 2013. Following the 30-day public comment period, the Division will review all -pertinent comments and take appropriate action prior to issuing a final NPDES permit.
