5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. ' The "monthly ` average discharge" is . defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampledand/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 theweights 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 dividingthis 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 meanfound by adding the weights of pollutants found
eachday of the year and .then dividing' this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month
on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal, to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of
the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count
for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar, day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
'Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
•
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform' 'bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . the average yearly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average';' under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount
of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent' prior to discharge averaged
over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the
sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is
identified as "daily average" in the text of Part L
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of .the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October' through December.

Part II

7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit- is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded
during the calendar month:
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling,
when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement': is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption .throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there maybe 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 tithe
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.
j
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 bythe number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of
the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric
mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual
values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).

Part II
Page 4of14;
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow: value., means the summation, of each
concentration itithes 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.

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. .
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 causes) 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
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this
permit:..
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset
has .the burden of proof.'

6.3.3.2 Cape Fear River from Lock & Dam 3 to Lock & Dam 1
A QUAL2E model for the segment of the Cape Fear River between Locks & Dams 3 and 1
is currently under development. This area is contained within the subbasin 03-06-16 and
includes 5 discharges of oxygen -consuming wastes (Table 6.6). Though there have been
no DO violations at the ambient monitoring stations within this modeled reach during the
last five years, instream monitoring by the facilities indicates DO violations occur under
summer conditions. Due to the frequency of sampling, self -monitoring may offer a' more
complete picture of the river conditions. In addition to. low DOs J loading from this section
of the Cape Fear is affecting water quality further downstream. Therefore, reductions in
BOD loading will be examined through the modeling effort.

In addition to these discharges, Elizabethtown has received a permit for discharge of 1.15
MGD with limits of BOD5=12 and NH3-N =2. Carolina Foods is planning an expansion
to4.5MGD.
Long term BOD data from the 1992 time of travel survey was used with low flow estimates
at Lock & Dam 3 (791 cfs) and above Lock & Dam 1 (843 cfs) Ito estimate BOD loads to
the river reach. Point source CBOD loads are 10 times lower than the load calculated at
Lock & Dam 3. The total of the point sources and upstream load are only slightly greater
than the load downstream at Lock & Dam 1. The mass balance of oxygen consuming
substances indicates little CBOD decay' is occurring instream. It should be noted that
through point and nonpoint source additions the CBOD load has only slightly increased
between Lock & Dam 3 to Lock & Dam 1.
Point source NBOD loads are less than half the load calculated at Lock & Dam 3 The total
of the point sources and upstream load is slightly lower than the load downstream at Lock
& Dam 1. NBOD at Lock & Dam 1 is 1.5 times the upstream NBOD load due to nitrogen
additions. Loads to the system appear to be outpacing nitrogen decay.
CBOD (lbs/day) IsTBOD Ms May)
Lock & Dam 3 (1992) 26,220 1,343
Lock & Dam 1(1992) 30,125 2,045
This comparison of loads indicates that even without adding nonpoint sources of BOD,
there is little CBOD or NBOD.decay occurring within this reach of the river. One should
note that the above data were collected before Carolina Foods began discharging. Carolina
Foods has since doubled the ammonia load from wastewater.
Preliminary modeling results indicate that the DO standard is not protected under current
permitted loading. Modeling confirms the indication by instream data that the assimilative

•
capacity of the river has been reached. At this time new and expanding discharges should
prepare an alternatives analysis including connection to a regional wastewater facility. If
there are no other alternatives to discharge, treatment equivalent to that outlined in the table
below will be recommended. A detailed description of the model development and
management strategy will be available in a separate report upon completion.

Attached is a copy of the fee schedule from 15 NCAC 2B.01105(b). The application
processing fee is based on the design or permitted flow, whicheder is appropriate,
listed in the first five categories of facilities. Presentlyj, no facility is allowed
to submit a fee for the general permits listed in the schedule since the Environmental
Protection Agency has not approved the State of North Carolina's general permit. 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.
The Environmental Management Commission adopted rules on August 1, 1988,
requiring the payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities (see attached 15

NC0032913
Reference is made to the above mentioned Draft National Pollutant Dis-
charge Elimination System Permit.
We have reviewed the referenced permit and have determined that the pro-
poSed discharge will not be sufficiently close to any existing public water
supply intake or any proposed public water supply intake as to have an adverse
effect thereon. Therefore, we concur with the issuance of this permit pro-
vided the facility is operated and maintained properly;, the stated effluent
limits are met prior to discharge, and the discharge does not contravene the
designated water quality standards.

of [the wastewater
of 'the last permit
The ratio of 7Q10 flow to wastewater flow is 248 MGD/.006 MGD or
41,398. According to a memorandum dated November 22, 1976 to Mr.
W. E. Knight, the Director of the Division of Environmental Management
from L. P. Benton, Jr., Chief of the Water Quality Section (now Chief
of Environmental Operations) which set"forth guidelines recommended
for coliform control in wastewater discharges to. North Carolina surface
waters, a dilution ratio of this magnitude should not cause a water
quality violation as concerns fecal coliformTherefore, the
limitation on effluent fecal coliform can *deleted from this permit.
Due to the lack of access points upstream and downstream,and the •
tremendous dilution ratios it is recommended that stream monitoring
requirements be waived.
0n February 11, 1981, a request for the extension of Permit No. 0032913
was received by the Fayetteville Regional Office. This permit was
issued to the Bladen County Board of Education on November 15, 1976,
