Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0040355 Asheville Regional Office
Springdale Country Club WWTP
Haywood County
Dear Ms. Tingle:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal 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).
The Division extends its apologies to you for the delays associated with the issuance of this permit
renewal. The primary issue that caused the delays was some confusion on the part of Division staff
with regard to the components of the existing treatment system, and how the system is operated.
Having such information clearly defined is important,because it allows for an accurate description of
the permitted treatment system within the NPDES permit. Your facility's Operator in Responsible
charge(ORC), Mr. Gifford Raulerson,has been very helpful in providing the necessary information
and explanations that allow the permit renewal to move forward.
While this final permit contains no changes to its limits and monitoring requirements from those found
in the draft permit sent to you on January 13,2016, the delays noted above necessitated the following
changes in the final version:
• The facility description has been updated.
• Condition A. (2.)has been modified to require submittal of monthly monitoring reports via the
Division's eDMR system no later than December 21, 2016, as required by federal regulations. 'It is
noted that at the present time, the facility is registered for eDMR,but is not currently submitting
reports via that system.

A. (2.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and
program reports and specify that, if a state does not establish a system.to receive such submittals, then
permittees must submit monitoring data and reports electronically to the Environmental Protection
Agency(EPA). The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on
December 21, 2015.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this
permit(Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
•
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• ' Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting Requirements (Supersedes Section D.(2.)and Section E.(5.)(a)]
Effective December 21,2016,the permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically
using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report(eDMR)internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's
eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation
(CROMERR),permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state
electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing,
signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the
following address:
NC DENR/Division of Water Resources/Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the
facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have
broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may
be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms(MR 1, 1.1,2, 3)
or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the
mailing address above. See"How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following
the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the
commencement of discharge.

EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for
each type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the
appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES
Electronic Reporting Rule is found at: http://www2.epa.gov/compliance/final-national-pollutant-
discharge-elimination-system-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule.
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the"Reporting Requirements" section
above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an
electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request to
the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in writing to
the Division for written approval at least sixty(60) days prior to the date the facility would be
required under this permit to begin submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a
temporary waiver shall not exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time,monitoring
data and reports shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re-applies'for
and is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic
reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting waiver request
may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the period that the approved
reporting waiver request is effective.
