Footnotes:
1. In the event that the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system should fail, underperform, or
otherwise be removed from effective service, the pernuttee or his agent should immediately inform the Surface Water
Protection Section staff of the Mooresville Regional Office of this development and discuss temporary, alternate means
for disinfection of the effluent.
If chlorine compounds are used as temporary means of disinfection, the total residual chlorine (TRC) concentration of
the effluent must be monitored while this method of disinfection is in use and values must be reported on the discharge
monitoring report. TRC in the effluent may not exceed 28 µg/L; therefore, dechlorination methods may also be
necessary to ensure protection of water quality in the receiving stream.
Use of a disinfection system other than the permitted UV system during circumstances not deemed as emergency and/or
temporary (replacement of lamps, lamp cleaning or maintenance, etc.) will be considered a violation of the terms of this
permit.
The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 ug/1 to be in compliance with the permit.
However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values reported by a North Carolina certified laboratory
(including field Certified), even if these values fall below 50 ug/l.
THERE SHALL BE NO DISCHARGE OF FLOATING SOLIDS OR VISIBLE FOAM IN OTHER THAN TRACE AMOUNTS.

other down stream dischargers are known.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1. a. Actual treatment capacity: 0.010 MGD (Design Capacity)
b. Current permitted capacity: 0.010 MGD

Page Two
d. Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: The existing
WWT facilities consist of a 10,000 gallon capacity septic tank (receives flow from
West Lincoln High School), a 14,000 gallon capacity septic tank (receives flow
from adjacent Middle School), flow is then combined in a dosing tank where it is
pump into a recirculating sand filter, followed by a trapezoidal flume with
ultrasonic flow meter, and ultraviolet disinfection.
e. Description of proposed WWT facilities: There are no proposed facilities at this
time.
f. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: There are no toxic impacts expected.
2. Compliance Background: A CEI dated January 16, 2009, did not reflect a violation of
effluent parameters, however, there were some record keeping deficiencies noted that
were addressed in an NOV. The WWT treatment system was found to be in good
operational condition during the site visit..
PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: There are no changes to
the effluent limitations or monitoring requirements requested at this time.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Lincoln County School System (LCSS) has requested that the subject permit be
renewed. There have been no changes to the permit nor the WWTP since the permit was last
renewed nor are any changes proposed at this time. The existing facilities are capable of
consistenly complying with the current effluent limitations without any further WWTP
modifications. This WWT facility serves a student/faculty population of 2200 people. The
LCSS is in the process of adding flow from the adjacent West Lincoln Middle School to the
subject WWT facility. In order to add this flow, additional WWT facilites were constructed
under the authorization of ATC No. 041246A02. Connection of this flow is underway, and
when completed, the existing septic tank/nitrification field currently serving the Middle School
will be abandoned.
Pending a final review by the Western NPDES Unit and a review of the draft permit, it is
recommended that the permit be renewed as requested.

For
West Lincoln High School WWTP
Lincoln County Schools own the West Lincoln High School Wastewater Treatment Plant
(WWTP) located at 172 Shoal Road in west Lincoln County and operating under NPDES
Permit No. NC 41246.
The treatment process generally consists of the following components:
• 2 each 14,000 gallon septic tanks operated in series.
• 12,000 gallon dosing tank with 2 filter dosing pumps
• 12,000 gallon equalization tank
• Bag filter system
• 2 each 76' x 38' recirculating sand filters with drip emitter flow distribution system
• Flow splitter box
• Ultraviolet light disinfection system
• Effluent trapezoidal flume with ultrasonic flow monitoring system
• Effluent duplex pump station for transfer of effluent to Indian Creek
Waste solids from the facility consist of solids accumulations within the two septic tanks.
The septic tanks are periodically monitored for solids accumulations. As the solids
accumulations within the septic tanks become significant, Lincoln County Schools
employees a local licensed septic tank service to remove the solids. These solids are then
transferred to the City of Lincolnton WWTP for final treatment and disposal.

Miscellaneous Comments
Review -Complex in 2005
YES ZThisa SIMPLE EXPEDITED permit renewal (administrative
renewal with no changes, or only minor changes such as TRC, NH3,
name/ownership changes).
YES This is a MORE COMPLEX EXPEDITED permit renewal (includes
Special Conditions (such as EAA, Wastewater Management Plan), 303(d)
listed, toxicity testing, instream monitoring, compliance concerns, phased
limits). Basin Coordinator to make case -by -case decision.
YES This permit CANNOT BE EXPEDITED for one of the following reasons:
• Major Facility (municipal/industrial)
• Minor Municipals with pretreatment program
• Minor Industrials subject to Fed Effluent Guidelines (lb/day limits for BOD, TSS,
etc)
• Limits based on reasonable potential analysis (metals, GW remediation organics)
• Permitted flow > 0.5 MGD (requires full Fact Sheet)
• Permits determined by Basin Coordinator to be outside expedited process
