TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
Enforcement costs.
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty 1 have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
The duration and gravity of the violations;
The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
The cost of rectifying the damage;
The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following;
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:

Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is lirnited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter.
Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and
a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violations;
(c) the violations were inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violation;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Ms. Coleen Sullins
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review the information during a bimonthly enforcement conference and inform
you of his decision in the matter of the remission request. His response will
provide details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for
further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's
Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee
cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request
considered by the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
OR

Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessrnent letter, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to
the Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes. You must:
File your original petition with the
Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714
and
Mail or hand -deliver a copy of the petition to
Mr. Dan Oakley, General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a date
stamp (not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter
being referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect
the penalty.
Please be advised that any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new
enforcement action, including an additional penalty. If you have any questions about this civil
penalty assessment, please contact the Water Quality Section staff of the Mooresville Regional
Office at 704/663-1699.

S. 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 "Ivlonthly 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 1 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 1 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.

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 coliforrn bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week(arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily
Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliforrn 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 (arithrnetic 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 coliforrn 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 pemiit,
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 sa pies 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 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. Type pf Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 29 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 pf 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 rnean, 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.

permit.
4, Bypassing of Treatrnent 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 IL E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authorityy take enforcement action against
a perrnittee 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 perrnittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.

5. Upsets
a. Definition..
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the
reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent
caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment
facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation,
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such
technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (13) of this permit.

wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.) and in a manner such
as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable
waters of the United States. The perrnittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations
governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued
by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and
modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The
permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of
Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the perrnit
is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing

Subject: NPDES Permit No. NC0067784
Governor's Island
Lincoln County, NC
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0067784 was
issued on May 30, 1995 for the discharge of wastewater to the
surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of
this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and
the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms
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 4-5.
Pages 4-5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge(s). Your discharge(s) 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 the
reporting forms furnished to you 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.
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 transferable. If you, as the
Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that
the Permit be rescinded.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to
advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read the
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.

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.
b. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration,°' other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum
of the concentrations of all daily discharges s{tttipled 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 daring 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 Units" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly colleen tr,ttion," 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 Units" in Part I of the permit.
c, The "maximum daily concentration"" is the cons°entration 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 1 of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration,' other tlartrt 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.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the miriinrrrm allowable
amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge
averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a
calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the
discharge. It is identified as "daily average in the text of Part L.

to,
Part II
Page 3 of 14
The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a
calendar quarter. It is identified as " uarterly 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 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" isa 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 maiinenance 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 flowrecorder 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 (I) 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 he greater than six (6)
hours nor the number of samples less than lour (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: 'The arithmetic mean of anyset of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.

Part II
Page 4 of 14
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the
product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values.
The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms
of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of
zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1),
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective
flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that
reasonably represents the calendar day may he used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant
to Section 31.1 of the Clean Water Act,
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(I) the Clean Water
Act.

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 mcxle for the facility,
O "Severe property damage" means substantial physical clanrage 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.
Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent linzita ions
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.
Notice
(I) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at ➢east ten days before the date of the bypass;
including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
O Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass
as required in Part II, B. 6. of this permit, (24-hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(I) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority tmay° take enforcement action
against a permittee for bypass, unless:
(a) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury} or severe
property damage;

Part Il
Page 9 of 14
(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:
(a) An upset occurred and that the perminee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(b) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and

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 sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It is
therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing thissum by
the number of days the. tests were reported. The limitation is
identified as "Daily Average" or "Monthly Average!' in Part I of the
permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of
all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week
(Sunday -Saturday) onwhich daily discharges are sampled and measured,
divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured
during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by
adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and. then
dividing this sum by the numberof days the tests were reported- This
limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part T 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 sample and/or measured during the calendar yell.' 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
Page 12 of 14
6. Concentration. Measurement.
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges
samples and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a. composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean. (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected
during that calendar day, The average monthly count for fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month, This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" or
"Daily Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit,
la 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 ,rneasu.red 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. 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 Port I of the
permit,

Part II
Page 13 of 14
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours
average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean
of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time
of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the
total discharge.
B. Types of samples
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected. at.
equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab
samples shall be nogreater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time
of the wastewater in the facility is. greater than 24 hours, in which
case, the interval between grab samples. shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time innumber of days; provided, however, in
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six
hours nor the, number of grab samples less than four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a
period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken.
manually,
9. Calculation of Means
a. Arithmetic Mean: The, arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation
of the individual values divided by the. number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: Thegeometric 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) shell be
considered to be one (1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means thesummation 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.
Part 11
Page 14 of 14
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CPR Part 116
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic undo Sion 307(a)(1) of
the Clean Water Act*

JUL 1,E.Ni
PERMITS & ENGINEERING
Governor's island is a portion of the Westport Development in
Catawba Springs Township of Lincoln County. It is a 23+/- acre
island in Lake Norman lying 1300 feet south of the south end of
Westport Peninsula, which is traversed by Burton Lane (SR-1376).
The island is 2200 feet long, north to south, by an average width
of 600 feet.
The islands geographic center is located at N3530.07 - W8058.18.
Vehicular access to the island will be accomplished by the
construction of a three -span bridge and causeway, as an extension
of SR-1376, all in accordance with standards prescribed by
NC Department of Transportation.
There will be approximately 85 single family residential lots, all
having frontage on the Lake and being served by approximately one
mile of private paved road.
The island will be served by the Lincoln County Water system for
domestic supply and fire hydrants within less than 1000 feet from

regulatory or supervisory capacity in Public Health matters
will be granted visitation rights during regular business
hours of operation in addition to their overseeing during
the construction and development phase.
4. Collection System.
a. Wastewater will flow by gravity from the residence into a
wet -well or pump basin which is to be located not less than
50 feet back of the 760 ft. (MSG) contour.
b. The wet -well will contain a float controlled grinder pump
which grinds the domestic waste solids, thus forming a
slurry, which is discharged through a 1 1/4" I.D. Type 1,
Schedule 40 PVC pipe service lateral.
c. The service lateral discharges into a force main which
ranges in size from 1 1/2" to 6" depending upon the number
of residences being served.
d. The force mains, converging from the four quadrants of the
island, discharge the wastewater into the common influent
structure of the WWTP.

5. Treatment.
a. The wastewater treatment process begins in the wet -well
where the grinder pumps grind the domestic waste solids into
a thin liquid slurry as it is pumped out of the wet -well,
through 1 1/4" service lateral, on its way to the WWTP.
This slurry producing process is aided by the kitchen waste
disposal food grinder.
b. The grinder pump is best described as a large kitchen
disposal unit turned upside down, mounted on the pump shaft
extended and becomes an integral part of the centrifugal
pump.
c. No comminutor will be required since kitchen waste solids
and other domestic waste solids will have been ground into a
slurry by the kitchen waste disposal unit and the grinder
pump. Investigation shows that the effects of the kitchen
waste disposal unit are highly beneficial to the operation
and maintenance of a grinder pump pressurized wastewater
system.
d. No bar screen will be required for the same reason as stated
in 5.c.
e. No grit chamber or grit removal mechanism is required
because the system has no manholes and is closed to any grit

discharge, will be equipped with a splitter mechanism which
will direct the flow into two (2) 20,000 GPD WWTP's which
are to be installed and operated in parallel.
6. Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).
a. The WWTP will consist of two (2) 20,000 GPD extended
aeration package plants operating in parallel. They will
share a common influent structure and a common effluent
structure, which will be a chlorine contact chamber.
b. Each of the two plants will consist of the foliowing:
1) One (1) 20,000 gallon aeration tank.
2) One (1) 4,000 gallon aerobic digester tank (sludge holding)

STATEMENT REQUESTING PERMIT MODIFICATION
Re: NPDES PERMIT NO. NC006784
Request is made to modify reference Permit to allow point cf
discharge to be relocated to a point 1,000 +-/- feet up -stream
from the 1-16-87 permitted location.
2. Reference is made to the attached."Governor's Island,
Preliminary Subdivision Plan.", revised 10-13-83 to show "Water
& Sewer System.
Upon receipt of reference permit we found under Part III G
that the subterranean outfall should extend 150 feet from the
760' contour shoreline. We then determined that the water depth,
at full pond, would be 100 feet if the 150 feet criterion was
met.
4. Considering that the 100 feet depth would not be optimum for
the installation depth we sought advice from Mr. D. Rex Gleason,
Water Quality Regional Engineer, DNR CD DEM and were told to
attain a depth of 35-40 feet.
5. At the requested site for relocating the outfal1 we can attain
both the minimum distance of 150 feet from the shoreline and at
the same time attain the 35-40 feet of depth. The two insets
show the topography down to the 752.5 contour with the proposed
relocation site showing to be a much more favorable installation.
6. Note that the originally permitted location is located in the
center of Lot 20 and would need to be relocated 150 +/- feet
north to the dividing line of Lots 19 $ 20. Relocating same to
the south is not compatible with the 70 feet wide channel which
is to be excavated.
7.. In addition to the requested site being far superior from an
environmental protection standpoint, the difference in the
construction cost would be beneficial to the Owner.
We further iterate our request, in the behalf of the Owner,
that reference permit be modified to permit the requested new
location in accordance with the maps attached and the narra-
tive contained herein.

ENGINEERING REPORT
WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY
TO SERVE
GOVERNOR'S ISLAND, LAKE NORMAN, LINCOLN COUNTY, N.C.
OWNER: D.L. PHILLIPS INVESTMENT BUILDERS° INCH
REVISED, OCTOBER 19, 1987
A. AREA TOBE SERVED:
Governor's Island is a portion of the Westport Development in
Catawba Springs Township of Lincoln County. It is a 23+/- acre
island in Lake Norman lying 1300 feet south of the south end of
Westport Peninsula, which is traversed by Burton Lane (SR-1376).
The island is 2200 feet long, north to south, by an average width
of 600 feet.
The islands geographic center is located at N3530.07 - W8058.18.
Vehicular access to the island will be accomplished by the
construction of a five -span bridge and causeway, as an extension
of SR-1376, all in accordance with standards prescribed by
NC Department of Transportation.
There will be approximately 42 single family residential lots, all
having frontage on the Lake and being served by approximately one
mile of private paved road.
The island will be served by the Lincoln County Water system for
domestic supply and fire hydrants within less than 1000 feet from
each residence.
Fire fighting services are to be provided by the Denver Volunteer
Fire Department, 5 miles, with back-up by East Lincoln Volunteer
Fire Department, 7 miles.
Each two (2) residences will share a common floating pier with
their boat docking facilities located on opposite sides of the
pier.
B. EXISTING FACILITIES:
The area is undeveloped so no sanitary sewerage system exists.

C. PROPOSED FACILITIES & SERVICES:
1. General Description, Design Criteria.
Wastewater will be collected and transported to a wastewater
treatment plant (WWTP) via a pressure pipe system. After
adequate treatment and disinfection the treated wastewater
effluent will be discharged into the surface waters of the
mainstream of the Catawba River in Lake Norman.
a. Design flow is 42 families x 400 GPD = 16,800 GPD. As an
added safety factor a design flow of 20,000 GPD is being
used.
2. Land.
The owner, holding fee simple title to the entire island, will
set aside sufficient land for the WWTP site.
. Rights.
a. Rights -of -way for collector lines, effluent outfall and
transmission mains will be provided by the Owner and
dedicated for use as such by recordation in the Lincoln
County Registry to run with the chain of title for the
land.
b. Permits as required will be obtained from all applicable
Regulatory Agencies.
c. Federal, State and Local Governmental Agencies having a
regulatory or supervisory capacity in Public Health matters
will be granted visitation rights during regular business
hours of operation in addition to their overseeing during
the construction and development phase.
4. Collection System.
a. Wastewater will flow by gravity from the residence into a
wet -well or pump basin which is to be located not less than
50 feet back of the 760 ft. (MSL) contour.
b. The wet -well will contain a float controlled grinder pump
which grinds the domestic waste solids, thus forming a
slurry, which is discharged through a 1 1/4" I.D. Type 1,
Schedule 40 PVC pipe service lateral.
c. The service lateral discharges into a force main which
ranges in size from 1 1/2" to 4", depending upon the
number of residences being served.

d. The force mains, converging from the four quadrants of the
island, discharge the wastewater into the common influent
structure of the WWTP.
5, Treatment.
a. The wastewater treatment process begins in the wet -well
where the grinder pumps grind the domestic waste solids
into a thin liquid slurry as it is pumped out of the
wet -well, through 1 1/4" service lateral, on its way to
the WWTP.
b. The grinder pump is best described as a large kitchen
disposal unit turned upside down, mounted on the pump
shaft extended and becomes an integral part of the
centrifugal pump.
c. No comminutor will be required since domestic waste solids
will have been ground into a slurry by the pump.
d. No bar screen will be required for the same reason as stated
in 5.c.
e. No grit chamber or grit removal mechanism is required
because the system has no manholes and is closed to any grit
entry.
. The influent structure, into which the force mains
discharge, will be equipped with a splitter mechanism which
will direct the flow into two (2) 10,000 GPD WWTP's which
are to be installed and operated in parallel.
6, Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).
a. The WWTP consist of two (2) 10,000 GPD extended aeration
package plants operating in parallel. They will share a
common influent structure and a common effluent structure,
which will be a chlorine contact chamber.
b. The two plants will consist of the following:

gravity flow for the effluent line.
b. The effluent pipe line will be 8-inch diameter PVC sanitary
sewer pipe, SDR-35, from the WWTP to near the shoreline. From
this point the effluent line will be 8-inch ductile iron,
restrained joint, pipe, class 50, entrenched in the lake
bottom and backfilled with crusher -run stone. The effluent
line will be extended into the lake 150 feet or to 35 feet
of water depth at full pond and in accordance with the re-
quirements of all applicable Regulatory Agencies.
. It is the opinion of the Engineer that the domestic wastewater,
when properly treated by the WWTP herein described, effluent
to be discharged into the main channel of the Catawba River,
Lake Norman, will not result in a violation of any applicable

Act, also know as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C.
1251, et. seq.
b. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of all the samples
collected in one calendar month. The monthly average for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of samples
collected in one calendar month.
c. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of all the samples
collected during one calendar week (Sun -Sat). The weekly
average for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of

g. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of
values is the summation of the individual values divided by
the number of individual values.
h. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values
is the Nth root of the product of the individual values
where N is equal to the number of individual values. The
geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the
arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values.
For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of
zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1).
i. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples
collected at equal intervals and combined proportional to
flow, a sample continuously collected proportionally to
flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time intervals. If a
composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent
grab samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals
between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than
hourly except where the detention time of the wastewater in
the faciliey is greater than 24 hours, in which case, the
interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number
of hours than the detention time in number of days;
provided, however, in no case may the time between effluent
grab samples be greater than six hours nor the number of
grab samples less than four during any discharge period of
24 hours or less.
