Permit No. NC0032760
Kings Grant WWTP
Gaston County
Dear Mr. Konsul:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
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 17, 2007 (or as subsequently amended.)
The final permit authorizes Kings Grant WWTP to discharge up to 70,000 GPD of treated
wastewater to an unnamed tributary to Duharts Creek, a class WS-V water in the Catawba River
Basin. The permit includes discharge requirements and/or limitations for flow, biochemical oxygen
demand (BOD), total suspended solids, ammonia, fecal coliform bacteria, total residual chlorine,
total nitrogen, total phosphorus and pH.
The following procedure has been implemented by DWQ: Total residual chlorine (TRC)
compliance level changed to 50 ug/l. Effective March 1, 2008, the Division received EPA
approval to allow a 50 ug/1 TRC compliance level. This change is due to analytical difficulties
with TRC measurements. Facilities will still be required to report actual results on their
monthly discharge monitoring report (DMR) submittals, but for compliance purposes, all TRC
values below 50 ug/I will be treated as zero. A footnote regarding this change has been added to
the effluent limitations page in the permit.

Special monitoring or limitations {including toxicity) requests: TRC should be limited.
Important SOC, JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: NIA
Alternative Analysis Evaluation:
a. Spray Irrigation: Insufficient area
b. Connect to regional sewer system: The Town of Crarnerton sewer ,systetn is within
approximately 100 feet of the WWTP. During the previous perrrtit renewal, the applicant
was requested to submit documentation to the NPDES Unit describing the availability of
alternatives to wastewater discharge. The Permittee submitted the requested information
on October 1, 2002. Current policy does not allow for this agency to require a private
utility company to eliminate an existing discharge unless the Permittee is found to be in
significant non-compliance with its NPDES Permit
c. Subsurthce: Insufficient area.
d. Other disposal options: None that we are aware.
5. Air quality and/or groundwater concerns or hazardous materials utilized at this facility that
may impact water quality, air quality or groundwater? No known air quality, groundwater
or hazardous materials concerns.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Permittee, Carolina Water Service, Inc., is applying for renewal of the facility's NPDES
permit to discharge treated domestic wastewater. A review of the past year's anonitoring reports
revealed no permit violations. However, the average effluent TRC reported for the past year was 0.3
rng/l. Please note that a stream action level of 17 iig/I has been established for TRC to protect the
receiving stream against chronic toxicity effects and 28 µg/l has been set as the maximum allowable
effluent TRC concentration to protect against acute toxicity effects.

Dear Mr, Lashua:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0032760 was issued on March 8, 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 ancVhe 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
forrns; 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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/docurnents.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 noncomplia.nce, bypasses,
treatment unitlprocess 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

s must be permitted or
To maintain compliance with discharge limitations, proper operation and maintenance of
a wastewater treatment facility and the development of a process control program are essential.
For those facilities having chlorine tablet disinfection, please be advised that chlorine tablets
approved for wastewater treatment use must be used; swimming pool tablets are not approved.
Also, be advised that DWQ staff need to have access to the facility's discharge point into the
receiving stream; please maintain a path along the outfall line to facilitate that access.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the
Permittee 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 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 Perrnittee, 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.

Re: Kings Grant WWTP, Crarnerton
Dear Mr. Shytle,
Carolina Water Service, Inca of NC (CWS) owns and operates a wastewater treatment plant and
associated collection system in the Kings Grant subdivision off Lowell _.. Bethesda Road in
Crarnerton. 1 am enclosing a section of map for your use. The town has a gravity sewer
collection main located immediately adjacent to our plant at the end of King Arthur Lane along
an unnamed tributary of Duharts Creek.
We are presently serving 181 single-family homes and the system is basically built -out. The
WWTP is permitted for 70,000 gallons per day (gpd), but the average daily flow for the past 12
months has been approximately 22,000 gpd.
The NC Division of Water Quality has stipulated that we need to investigate all means to
eliminate the discharge from this facility as part of the conditions of our NPDES permit, Our
facility has been compliant and continues to be well operated_ However, the State wants us to
investigate other discharge alternatives.
There are two options we would like to address with you:
Option 1) Enter into a mutually acceptable Agreement to sell the collection system and customer
base to the town which would thereby eliminate the treatment plant and discharge.
Option 2) Enter into a mutually acceptable Agreement to provide us with "bulk" sewer service.
If bulk sewer service is a possibility, please provide rate structure information in your response,
We could possibly establish a flat rate structure, provide information from water consumption
(our water system), or consider the installation of some sort of bulk sewer flowmeter.

Subject: NPDES Permit No, NC0032760
Kings Grant WWTP.
Gaston County, NC
Dear Mr.Haas:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0032760 was issued on April 17, 2002 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 are Pages 4 and 5.
Pages 4 and 5 set 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 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. 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 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 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 rat automatically transferable. If you, as
the Persnittee, 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.

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
I. Permit Issuing Authority:
2. DEM or "the Division"
Resources.
3 EMC
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. 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 rnean 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 sarnpled 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 rnonthly 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 II
Page 2 of 11
6, 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..
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.
7. Other Measurements
a. Plow, (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.
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

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 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
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 (I).
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)(I) of the Clean
Water Act.

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 "
Page7ofll
4. 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
for bypass, unless:
Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a permittee
(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. Alternative analysis evaluation
a. Spray Irrigation: Insufficient area.
b. Connect to regional sewer system: According to the ORC, the Town of Cramerton
has extended municipal sewer within a few hundred yards of the WWTP. In
addition, it has been learned that the City of Gastonia has plans to extend service
to the area as well. Although the current permit does not contain language that
requires Carolina Water Service (CWS) to connect to the municipal line, this
alternative appears to be a viable option. Current law apparerntly doesn't allow
for this agency to require a private utility company to eliminate an existing
discharge unless the permittee is found to be in significant non-compliance with
it's NPDES Permit. In this particular case, CWS has effectively complied with
the limitations in the subject Pemiit. if, however, it is the intent of the Division to
eliminate discharges where possible, existing legislation may need to be changed
to allow for such.
c. Subsurface: Insufficient area.
d. Other disposal options: None that we are aware.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee, CWS, has requested renewal of the subject permit. There have been no
changes to the existing, facility and/or the permit since the permit was last renewed.
Information obtained during the site investigation indicates that public sewer is currently
available to the site. Although the permit does not contain language which allows the Division to
recommend removal of the discharge unless the facility is in significant non-compliance, this
Office recommends that the permittee be required to submit an updated Alternative Analysis
prior to permit reissuance.
Pending a final technical review by the NPDES Unit and receipt of a revisedAiternatives
Analysis, it is recommended that the subject permit be renewed.

Subject: NPDES Permit Renewal Application
Permit NC0032760
CWS — Kings Grant Subdivision
Gaston County
ived your permit renewal application on February 22, 2001. Thank you for submitting
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. 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 pen -nit 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 NC0032760 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 me, at [phone], extension 520.

Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources,
3. DAC
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 1 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 fecai 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.
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 11

2. 0ther easu
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.
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.
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
(I)
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. Haza dous 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

Dear Mr. Daniel:
Our records indicate, that NPDES Permit No. NC0032760 was
issued on September 4, 1996 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 are Pages 4-7.
Pages 4-7 set 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 (DEM 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 ar4annual administering and compliance
monitoring fee may be required for your facility. You will soon be
receiving 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. 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
Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A civil
penalty of up to $10,000 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 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 automatically transferable. If
you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should
request that the Permit be rescinded or transferred 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.

SECTJQN A. DEFNI"nONa
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. EM
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.

Part II
Page2of 14
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
sarnples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" under "Other Units" 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 lirnitation is
identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Units" 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 Units" 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 sarnples
collected during a calendar year.
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.

Part TI
Page 3 of 14
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.
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 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.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the

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.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant, Carolina Water Service, Inc., has requested
renewal of the permit for Kings Grant Subdivision which allows them
to discharge treated domestic wastewater. The facility appeared to
be operated and maintained properly. There did not appear to be
any problems with the treatment facilities that would hender the
renewal of the permit.
An on -site visit revealed extreme low flow conditions in the
receiving stream. A. wasteload allocation(WLA) prepared in 1986
stated that the 7Q10 was zero(() for both summer and winter; there
was no mention of the 30Q2 flow. If a new wasteload allocation
shows the 7Q10 and 30Q2 to be less than zero then it is recommended
that the facility be required to make plans to delete the discharge
either by removal(cease or connect to city sewer) or extending the
outfall to a stream that can accomodate the wastewater.
Pending review and approval of the WLA by the Regional Office,
and. review and approval of the renewal request by appropriate
Raleigh staff, it is recommended that the permit be renewed.

Dear Mr. Moore:
This letter is in regards to your request dated August 23,
1990, concerning the conversion of a fine solids settling pond
(FSSP) to a sludge storage lagoon at the subject facility. In your
earlier correspondence dated August 16, 1990, you indicated that the
FSSP (one of two) was not necessary to maintain compliance with
Permit limitations, and that Carolina Water Service (CWS) intended
on constructing a steel sludge storage tank pending approval by
Division of Environmental Management of plans and specifications.
Since the FSSP is expected to accumulate some solids buildup,
its use for temporary sludge storage is permissable, however, CWS
shall be responsible for any corrective action necessary should
nusiance conditions (odors) occur. CWS shall also be responsible
for maintaining a freeboard level in the lagoon which will prevent a
breech or overflow during rainfall events. In addition, your
request for a Permit Modification concerning a change in process
description has been forwarded to Raleigh along with our comments.

lbject: Disposal of stored sludge, Kings. Grant Subdivision,
Gaston County, North Carolina Permit No. NC0032760
Dear Rex:
Through some circumstance, siudge has been stored. in one of two
fine solids settling ponds of the Kings Grant wastewater treat-
ment plant. We do not believe that this situation creates any
situation different from that considered in the original approved
NPDES Permit, since under normal operation in the mode suggested
the pond would eventually fill with biological solids not greatly
unlike the present situation, albeit not quite so full before
requiring attention. There were no original provisions for
removal of solids from the ponds.
r,Te regnest that the pond be allpwed_to_remain in_seryicefor
sludgt stora_ge_puuoses to assist in sludge disRosal from the
site by_providing holding as may be occasionallyj-equiredunt,il
new sludge holding tanks are installed. We are in the process of
preparing drawings for the new sludge holding tanks and will
forward them to you in the near future.
In earlier correspondence dated August 16, we requested a change
to the process description of the plant in the NPDES Permit. This.
change is explained in. the referenced correspondence. If the
change requested in that correspondence in made, the use and
eventual elimination of the pond suggested. in this correspondence
will be advanced.
For your use in these considerations, the following information
is provided which was taken. from existing plans and from site
visits.
8 ft. lagoon bottom length 58 ft. at 10 ft. water level
2 ft lagoon bottom width 52 ft. at 10 ft. water level
2.5 ft/ft side slope
0 ft minimum depth
10 ft max. depth
11,705 cf working vol. = 87,553 gal,

I do not believe that the ponds exist in this configuration
today. Although the length at water level is reasonably accurate,
the 2.5/1 slope would be expected to slump, filling the bottom of
the cone. This would, however, have a minimum effect on available
volume.
We appreciate your attention to this matter. If further inform-
ation is required, please let us know.

MEMORANDUM TO: Don Safrit
FROM: D. Rex Gleason
PREPARED BY: Michael L. Parker
SUBJECT:
NPDES Permit Modification
Kings Grant Subdivision
NPDES Permit No. NC 0032760
Gaston County, North. Carolina
This Office is in receipt of a request from Mr. Herbert R.
Moore, P. E., Moore Engineering Associates, concerning a. minor
modification to the facility's treatment unit. description as
found on the second. page of the subject Permit. Mr. Moore
requests that the description be amended to delete the term:
"dual fine solids settling ponds" and add the term: "post
aeration pond". This change will reflect present conditions at
the facility.
Carolina Water Service (the facility's owner) apparently,
without Division of Environmental Management approval, converted
one of the two (2) existing ponds into an aerobic digestor.
After an inspection by Mooresville Regional Office personnel on
January 25, 1990, Carolina Water Service discontinued use of the
digestor, and informed the Mooresville Regional Office that
Carolina Water Service intended. on adding a fabricated. steel
digestion unit and subsequently abandoning the existing unit. At
the present time, the subject wastewater treatment facility is in
compliance with all permitted parameters.
This Office has reviewed this request and has no objection
tothe requested modification pending' final approval by the
Permits and Engineering Unit.

Subject: Process revision to NPDES Discharge Permit No.
NC0032760, Kings Grant Subdivision, Gaston County,
North Carolina
Dear Rex:
The process at Kings Grant is described on the SUPPLEMENT
PERMIT COVER SHEET, Carolina Water Service, Inc of North
Carolina, in paragraph 1. as follows:
1
"1. Continue to operate an existing 0.07 MGD wastewater
treatment facility consisting ,of dual extended aeration
type wastewater treatment plants, dual chlorination
facilities, and dual fine solids settling ponds located
at Kings Grant Subdivision (See Part ITT of this
permit), and
We request the wording be amended to read as follows:
1. Continue to operate an. existing 0.07 MGD wastewater
treatment facility consisting of dual extended aeration
type wastewater treatment plants, dual chlorination
facilities and post aeration pond located at Kings
Grant Subdivision (See Part III of this permit}, and
This will reflect the present operation of the plant and provide
for a more satisfactory process arrangement than stated. in the
original wording. This is justified by the requirement for
dissolved oxygen in the final effluent which is being provided by.
an aerator in the existing final pond and the quality of the
effluent produced under the suggested scheme (the plant presently
meets NPDES discharge requirements in the revised operational
scheme). Dual ponds for post aeration shouldnot be required if a
standbyaerator is provided.
If the pond were operated as a settling pond, it is suspected
that algal growth in the pond might compromise suspended solids
compliance and possibly dissolved oxygen compliance during night

operation. Calculations for the existing pond conditions are as
follows:
Existing pond: data from existing plant drawings
8 ft. lagoon bottom length
2 ft lagoon bottom width
2.5 ft/ft side slope
0 ft minimum depth
10 ft max. depth
11,705 cf working vol. = 87,553 gal.
70,000 gal/day plant capacity
1.25 days = holding capacity of post aeration. pond
0.85 = a
0.9 =6
9.17 mg/1 = saturation 02 @ 20°C
6 mg/1 = effluent 02
25 °C = temperature = 77 °F
0.24 = oxygen transfer correction factor
3.50 lb. 02 required/day
14.90 lb./day AOR
2 lb./hp/hr assumed transfer from surface aerator
2 hp = aerator (estiMated)
96 lb/day transferred
We donot believe that reverting to the original suggested scheme
would be beneficial to the performance of the plant, and in fact
may be deleterious to the same.
Please advise us if this suggested modification tothe permit is
agreeable. If so, we would like to proceed with the change. We
suggest that the change be made by simply appending of this co-
rrespondence to the existing permit.
We appreciate your attention to this matter. If further
information is required, please let us know.

Subject Renewal of NPDES Permit No. NC0032760
Gaston County
Dear Perrnittee:
The subject permit expires on 960930. 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. As of the date of this letter, the Division of
Environmental Management has not received an application for renewal. If continuation of the permit is desired,
failure to request renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration will result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00..
Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If operation of a discharge or waste treatment facility is to occur after the expiration date of the permit, or if
continuation of the permit is desired, it must not be allowed to expire. Operation of the waste treatment works or
continuation of a discharge after the expiration date would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in
assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
A renewal application shall consist of the following information:
1. A letter requesting the renewal.
2. The completed application form (copy attached), signed and submitted in triplicate.
3. A processing fee (see attached schedule) in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b). The application processing fee
is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate.
4. Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 122 shall also submit a
priority pollutant analysis in accordance with Part 122.21.
5. Facilities which have not been constructed, within the last permit cycle and are therefore, considered "new"
facilities, shall also submit an Engineering Alternatives Analysis, referenced in 15A NCAC Subchapter 2H .0103 and
Subchapter 2B .0201(c).
6. If the facility covered by this permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative description of the sludge
management plan must be submitted with the application for renewal.
In addition to penalities referenced above, a permit renewal request received after the expiration date will be
considered as a new application and will require the higher application fee.
15A NCAC 2H .0105(b)(2) requires payment of an annual Administrative and Compliance Monitoring fee for most
permitted facilities. You will be billed separately for that fee (if applicable), after your permit is approved.

modifications are issued to delete the description term dual fine solids settling ponds and add the
description term post aeration pond.
Please find enclosed an amended supplement to permit cover page which should be inserted
into your permit. The old supplement to permit cover page should be discarded. All other terms
and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. These
permit modifications are issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
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

Definitions
a. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected in a one -
month period. The monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -month period.
b. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during a
one -week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria
is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -week period.
c. Flow, MS/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the
24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the
arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar
month.
d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the
summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual
values.
M5

Part I
Permit No. NC
Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the
Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal
to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equiva-
lent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of
the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric
mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1).
Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following:
(1) Not less than four influent or effluent portions collected
at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and composited
in proportion to flow.
(2) Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions
collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional
to the flow.
(3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over
a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow.
g. Grab Sample: A grab sample" is a single influent or effluent
portion which is not a composite sample. The sample(s) shall be
collected at the period(s) most representative of the total discharge.
