Subject: Laboratory Certification
Hi Rich.This is a follow-up to our conversation today to summarize what is required regarding laboratory certification for
the four facilities(jet aeration systems)that you operate.
The McIntosh facility is not a classified facility and therefore does not fall under the scope of the laboratory certification
rules. However,the permit states in Part 2,Section D.4"Laboratories used for sample analysis must be certified by the
Division." You will need to have a certified laboratory analyze these samples for you at this facility or obtain laboratory
certification yourself.
Three of the facilities(Patrizio, Pruett,and Walling) have very similar permits to each other.These facilities are not
classified and therefore do not fall under the scope of the laboratory certification rules. For these facilities, Part 2,
Section D.4 does not require the laboratory to be a certified laboratory. But;approved methods must be followed and
when the facilities Total Residual Chlorine limit is established at 28 µg/L, these samples must be analyzed with a meter
capable of reading down to that low of a level.According to the current permit,the 28 µg/L limit will be established with
the next permit renewal.
If you have any other questions or need further information regarding low level Total Residual Chlorine or laboratory
certification,feel free to contact me.

The Director may designate the most appropriate method(specific number and size of aliquots necessary,the time
interval between grab samples,etc.) on a case-by-case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous:a single,continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: 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
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time 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 preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system,or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period
at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may

Hi Joe!
Here are my suggestions for the attached draft permit.
Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet:
1. Change description to:
360 gpd Jet Aeration System consisting of:
anaerobic pretreatment settling compartment with cover;
aerobic aeration compartment with underground jet aerator, which provides mixing and
injection of air, with cover & air vent;
control panel with 115 volt circuit breaker with dual alarms;
settling tank with cover, which gravity returns solids to aeration compartment;
dual tube tablet chlorinator;
dual tube tablet dechlorinator; and
discharge outfall with rip-rap erosion control.
2. Engineer's certification states: "after submitting to the Division of Water Quality an
Engineer's Certification testifying that facilities were constructed in accord with this
permit, the approved plans and specifications, and the approved Authorization to Construct
included herein [See Section A. (3.)],"
I am not sure that the WADE program had (had - meaning WADE is now gone) anyone to send
in a PE certification. I don't think that a PE was involved, since this was an agreement
between Roger Edwards and the Central Office. In think that this statement should be removed
from the permit.
A. (1.) Effluent limits page:

Footnote # 6. States: "Treatment System Records / Maintenance LOGS are required, and

The OMC shall address duties and schedule for the entire wastewater treatment system

Am I to assume that DWQ now has a new program for certifying contractors and now has a
standard Operation and Maintenance Contract (OMC)?
If so, then please send us a list of NC certified contractors and a copy of the new OMC.
If we aren't doing this, then I would remove these statements from the permit. We don't
require this for any other WWTPs.

flow receiving-stream conditions,DWQ will allow this single family residence(SFR)permit as a
temporary exception to be reviewed upon renewal of the general permit. This permit expires on the
expiration date of the General Permit for Single Family Residence(NCG550000),July 31,2012.
Discharge from this single family residence(as built)is hereby assigned secondary permit limits for
BOD 5-day, Total Suspended Solids(30 mg/L MA; 45 mg/L DM); monitoring and limits for fecal
coliform(200 ml/L and 400ml/L);Total Residual Chlorine and pH. This permit also requires the
Permittee and a North Carolina-Certified Contractor,to enter into,sign,and submit to DWQ,an
Operations and Maintenance Contract(OMC)providing for training,regular operation, system
maintenance,and record-keeping. This permit excludes an Authorization to Construct[normally Section
A. (3.)] considering Jet-Air treatment-system inspection and approval by Asheville Regional Office

Subject: McIntosh Permit SFR NCO089044
Dear Mr. Corporon,
Thank you for sending me a copy of the above mentioned draft permit. I have looked it over and have the
following questions and comments for your consideration.
1.) On the cover letter it is stated that this permit is good only until July 2012. What will the renewal
process be at that point? Will I be required to go through the entire process again, or will a new permit be
issued based on my initial application?
2.) On the cover letter it is stated that I have approval for 360 gpm (this must be a typo? I am a single
family residence).
3.) On the cover letter it is stated that I must provide a signed contract for maintenance and inspections
(which I am attaching to this e-mail, not signed but I will send a signed copy in as well) 72 hours prior to
discharge. The problem with the wording "72 hours prior to discharge" is that I do not have a newly
constructed system. The system that was originally constructed, well before I bought the property, was
repaired only. This property has been discharging since it was built in the 1970's. I am unsure as to how
I could satisfy that requirement. The existing system was repaired only- there was no new construction.
4.) On the supplement to cover sheet it is stated that I am authorized to: "41 - begin operating domestic
wastewater treatment...." Again, my concern is that this is a system that has been operating since the
initial permit in the 70's. This could be a case of semantics; however, being as important as this permit
is, I believe the language should be as accurate as possible.
5.) On the supplement to the cover sheet it is stated in item #2: "after submitting to the DWQ an
Engineer's Certification testifying that facilities were constructed in accord with this permit..." Again,
there was no new construction, the existing system was repaired only. I am not sure how I could satisfy
this requirement? Does this mean I need to get a Engineer's Certification that the system was REPAIRED
in accord with the permit?
1

6.) On the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements sheet I believe there is a typo. In the chart it
is stated the flow limit is 360 gpm, but then under footnotes, item 1, it says 360 gallons per day.
7.) On the Treatment System - Maintenance and record keeping sheet item b, does this simply mean the
OMC contract and the permit from the state? I am not sure what "system plans and specifications" refers
to.
8.) On the same page, item c, checking the tablet chlorinator once a week seems unreasonable. One puck
of chlorine has lasted the past 6 months? Is this a typo?
9.) On page 8, section D, item 2, am I required to report monitoring results once a month or once a
yea r?
10.) On page 10, section E, item 4, do I understand this correctly in that if I sell this property, the new
owner has to pursue a permit on their own? Is the permit not property specific, but owner specific?
Please explain what this means.
11.) On page 12, item 12, is this pertaining to my single family residence, or is this pertinent to
municipalities? is this something I am required to do?
12.) On page 13, section A, it is stated that permittee shall not construct...unless an AtC has been issued.
Again- there was no new construction here, repair of existing system only. What does this mean for my
situation?
I realize this is a lot of input. I take this process very seriously and want to be absolutely certain that I
understand and can meet all of the requirements set forth. Some of this permit reads as though it was
written for a large community or municipality, or for a newly constructed system. The property at 9 St.
Andrews is a single family residence, where three people and three pets live. There was no new
construction.
I thank you for allowing my input in this process and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Jenn McIntosh
