Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit
Permit No. NCO063860
Harbor Estates VW TP
Mecklenburg County
Dear Mr. Roberts:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for issuance of the subject permit. Accordingly,
we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
There are the following changes in this final permit from your current permit:
• The TRC footnote has been modified in accordance with our permitting strategy regarding 50 µg/ L accepted as
being compliant with the permit.
• In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0505(b) (1), a continuous/ recording flow measurement is required for both
flow limits pages.
• In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0505(c) (3) (C), composite samples are required for BOD, TSS, and ammonia
nitrogen for both flow limits pages.
• The Total Phosphorus Limit of 2.0 mg/ L was inadvertently left off the 0.75 MGD Limits page. This limit,
required in the current Basin Plan for flows of 0.05 MGD or greater, has been added back to the pen -nit.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you,
you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter.
This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General
Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-
6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.

SUMMARY
Extended aeration wastewater treatment system consisting of-
* Bar Screen
♦ Flow equalization
♦ Flow splitter
♦ Dual aeration basins
♦ Secondary Clarifier
♦ Chlorine contact basin
♦ Tablet chlorination
♦ Tablet dechlorination chamber with aeration
♦ Sludge holding tank
♦ Effluent pump station
♦ Effluent Flow Recording Meter
♦ Standby Power Generator
The facility discharges to Lake Wylie in the Catawba River basin. Lake Wylie is no longer rated
as impaired for chlorophyll a, but the TMDL is still in place. The Division has decided that the
Harbor Estates W WTP, permitted for 0.0416 to 0.075 MGD is too small to be considered a major
nutrient contributor, therefore the increased nutrient monitoring called for by the Basinwide
Water Quality Plan is not required. Quarterly monitoring for TN and TP will remain in the
permit.

COMPLIANCE SUMMARY
The Inspection Report dated 3/5/2008 states that the facility is well operated but needs better
maintenance. There were no NOVs during the time period reviewed.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
RPA was not performed. There are no monitored parameters to evaluate by an RPA.
PROPOSED CHANGES
• The TRC footnote has been modified in accordance with our permitting strategy
regarding 50 µg/ L accepted as being compliant with the permit.
• In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0505(b) (1), a continuous/ recording flow
measurement is required for both flow limits pages.
• In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0505(c) (3) (C), composite samples are required for
BOD, TSS, and ammonia nitrogen for both flow limits pages.
• The consultant was contacted regarding the flow recorder and composite samples. He
said that the facility did not require a compliance schedule (9/8/2011). The company's
Engineering Manager on 9/14/2011 confirmed that a compliance schedule is not
required.

Subject: RE: Draft Renewal, Aqua NC Harbor Estates WWTP Permit
Marcia, no composite sampling requirements for BOD, TSS, and ammonia are listed in the effluent limits page (TN and
TP are listed as composite). Due to the permitted flow, the facility should be required to collect composite samples. In
addition, the sample type for flow should also be changed to continuous/recording (due to permitted flow).

YES This permit CANNOT BE EXPEDITED for one of the following reasons:
• Major Facility (municipaUindustrial)
• 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
