h. The "daily average" discharge means the total discharge
by weight during a calendar month divided by the number of
days in the month that the production or commercial facility
was operating. Where less than daily sampling is required h7
this permit, the daily average discharge shall be determined
by the summation of all the measured daily discharges by
weight divided by the number of days sampled during the
calendar month when the measurements were made.
C. The "daily maximum" discharge means the total discharge
by weight during any calendar day.
15

d. DEM or Division: means the Division of Environmental
Management, Department of Natural Resources and Community

f. Flow, M3/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.
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 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 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.

1251, et. seq.
b. The "daily average" discharge means the total discharge
by weight during a calendar month divided by the number of
days in the month that the production or commercial facility
was operating. Where less than daily sampling is required h'17
this permit, the daily average discharge shall be determined
by the summation of all the measured daily discharges by
weight divided by the number of days sampled during the
calendar month when the measurements were made.
C. The "daily maximum" discharge means the total discharge
by weight during any calendar day.

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.
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 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 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

Dear Mr. Overcash:
Thank you for your prompt attention to my request con-
cerning the water permit for our Salisbury N.C. Quarry.
As was pointed out by Mr. Tony Parker, our NPDES permit
4NC0027456, has expired and we inadvertantly have not
applied to have it reissued. Please find enclosed an
application for a new permit. I do have some questions
in mind however as to whether such a permit is really
required. The discharge is the result of pumping rain
water fromaquarry. In that respect the pumping action
is acting much like a storm sewer. No sewage or other
process water is mixed with the pumped rain water. The
discharge can be termed intermittent at best. Pumping
is done only when it interferes with work and that only
occurs after a rain.
No reports were submitted from -the period 7/1/80 to date
because no pumping was being done on the 10th of the
month. Rightly or wrongly our folks had been told if
there was no pumping at that time of the month no reports
need be filed. From now on they know to send in reports
monthly even if there is no flow and to take samples of
what is pumped no matter what time of th.e month.
Please also find a letter asking the State of North
Carolina to reinstate permit #4133 which expired January
1, 1980.
Sincerely,
y C. Kime

SUBJECT: Correction of Staff Report and Recommendations
Matthews International Corporation
NPDES Permit No. NC 0027456
Rowan County, North Carolina
The subject facility has requested renewal of its NPDES Discharge Permit
No. NC 0027456. This Office made an erroneous recommendation for the renewal
of a non -discharge permit issued to the Company.
There have been no changes regarding the treatment facility, point(s)
of discharge, and the receiving water involved as compared with the previous
Staff Report and Recommendations prepared by Thurman Horne of this Office in
July, 1981.
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports indicates that there has
been no discharge from this facility during the last 18 months (March, 1985-
August, 1986). It is, therefore, recommended that the existing NPDES Discharge
Permit in lieu of the non -discharge one be renewed as requested for the subject
facility.
Should..you,:have_-any'questions' or require additional information regarding
this matter, please do not hesitate to contact G. T. Chen or me.

Dear Ms. Sutton:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC 0027456 was issued on
February 26, 1987 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
is Page I-3.
Page I-3 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 the DMR 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 form, 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, otherwise the forms may be
returned to you as incomplete. Failure to properly complete the forms may
also result in an automatic $300.00 fine.
The remaining Parts of the Permit (Parts II and III) 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 day
per violation plus criminal penalties may be assessed for such violations.
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 M-1 or I-1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not
transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, through
cessation of -the discharge, 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.

Dear Mr. Overcash;

TWX 510-697-0740
In my letter of June 9, 1981, I transmitted the application for a
new NPDES permit to replace our Permit #NCO027456 which we had
inadvertently let expire. I also requested that State Permit #4133
be reissued.
Is there anything more I should be doing at this time to assist in
having these permits reissued?

Dear Mr. Overcash:
Thank you for your prompt attention to my request con-
cerning the water permit for our Salisbury N.C. Quarry.
As was pointed out by Mr. Tony Parker, our NPDES permit
#NC0027456, has expired and we inadvertently have not
applied to have it reissued. Please find enclosed an
application for a new permit. I do have some questions
in mind however as to whether such a permit is really
required. The discharge is the result of pumping rain
water fromgquarry. In that respect the pumping action
is acting much like a storm sewer. No sewage or other
process water is mixed with the pumped rain water. The
discharge can be termed intermittent at best. Pumping
is done only when it interferes with work and that only
occurs after a rain.
No reports were submitted from the period 7/1/80 to date
because no pumping was being done on the loth of the
month. Rightly or wrongly our folks had been told if
there was no pumping at that time of the month no reports
need be filed. From now on they know to send in reports
monthly even if there is no flow and to take samples of
what is pumped no matter what time of the month.
Please also find a letter asking the State of North
Carolina to reinstate permit #4133 which expired January
1, 1980.
Sincerely,
y C. Kime
