PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority: The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. Division: The Division of Water Quality in the North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources.
3. EMC: North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Permittee: The entity who obtains coverage under this General Permit by subsequent issuance
of a"Certificate of Coverage" by the Division.
5. Act or "the Act": The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act,
as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
6. Concentration Measurements
a. Monthly Average Concentration: The sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The
daily concentration value in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day.
b. Monthly Average Concentration for Fecal Coliform: The geometric mean of the counts
for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" in Part I of the permit.
c. Daily Maximum Concentration: The concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
"Daily Maximum" in Part I of the permit.
7. Grab Samples: Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually.
8. Calculations
a. Geometric Mean: 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).
9. Hazardous Substance: Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section
311 of the Clean Water Act.
10.Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.
11. Bypass: The intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility
(including the collection system). The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not
cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to
assure efficient operation.

samples collected during that calendar day.
b. Average Monthly Concentration for Fecal Coliform: The geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar month. This limitation is identified as"Monthly Average"in Part I of the permit.
b. Maximum Daily Concentration: The concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. If only one
sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily
Concentration". It is identified as"Daily Maximum"in Part I of the permit.
7. Other Measurements
Flow(MGD): The 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily
flows recorded during the calendar month.
8. Grab Samples: Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab
samples can be collected manually.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: 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).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: The summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation
of the respective flows.
10. CalendarDay: The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However,for purposes of this
permit,any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance: Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water
Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1)of the Clean Water Act.
13. Bypass: The intentional'diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility(including the collection
system). The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded,but only
if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
14. Severe property damage: Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them
to become inoperable,or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur
in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production.
15. Upset: An exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology-based
permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include
noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error,improperly designed treatment facilities,inadequate treatment
facilities,lack of preventive maintenance,or careless or improper operation.

Subject: Certified Operator Requirements
Single Family Treatment Systems
NPDES Permit No.NCG550417
Buncombe County
Dear Mr.Massey:
During February of this year, public hearings were held on proposed changes to modify the
operator certification rules. The proposed rules included a requirement that single-family
discharge systems would be classified wastewater treatment facilities,which would require
an annual inspection by a certified operator. The intent of the rule was to insure that the
systems are being-properly operated and maintained.
During the public comment period, a significant amount of comments, statements and
additional information was submitted. As a result, the Water Pollution Control System
Operators Certification Commission amended the proposed rules. The rule, as adopted and
effective July 1, 1993, now requires single-family discharging systems to be classified
only if they are permitted after July 1, 1993 or if upon inspection by the Division of
Environmental Management (DEM) it is found that the system is not being adequately
operated and maintained. Systems can be inspected by DEM during routine compliance
inspections, permit renewals, or complaint investigations. Once a system is classified, it
will be required to have at a minimum, an annual inspection by a certified operator.
It is important to remember that the NPDES permit is part of a Federal program
administered by the State of North Carolina and that violations of the permit are enforceable
by Federal and State laws. Although your system will not be required to have a certified
operator at this time,proper operation and maintenance is needed for the system to function
satisfactorily. In as much as each system must be individually designed and sited, special
maintenance requirements may apply to a specific installation. The attached maintenance
schedule should however be applicable to most systems. The frequencies suggested are
considered to be the minimum necessary. More frequent attention may be needed for a
specific system and may be required by conditions of the permit.

In addition to being required by your permit, proper maintenance of your treatment system
is extremely important to the long term serviceability of your wastewater treatment system.
If proper maintenance is not given to the system, it will fail and will result in major
expenses for repairs.
We would strongly encourage you to take the necessary action to insure that your system is
operating properly. If we can be of any assistance to you or if you have any questions or
comments,please call Dwight Lancaster of our staff at(919)733-0026.

Dear Permittee:
The Division of Environmental Management has recently evaluated all existing individual permits for potential
coverage under general permits currently issued by the Division. 15A N.C.A.C. 2H.0127 allows the Division to
evaluate groups of permits having similar discharge activities for coverage under general permits and issue coverage
where the Division finds control of the discharges more appropriate in this manner.The Division has determined
that the subject discharge qualifies for such coverage. Therefore,the Division is hereby issuing the subject
Certificate of Coverage under the state-NPDES general permit no. NCG550000 which shall void NPDES Permit
NC0068250. This Certificate of Coverage is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina and the US
Environmental Protection Agency Memorandum of Agreement dated December 6,1983 and as subsequently amended.
If any parts,measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this general permit are unacceptable to
you,you have the right to submit an individual permit application,associated processing fee and letter requesting
coverage under an individual permit. Unless such demand is made,this decision shall be final and binding. Please
take notice this Certificate of Coverage is not transferable. Part 11,EA.addresses the requirements to be followed in
case of change of ownership or control of this discharge.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily,including the creation of nuisance conditions,the
Permittee shall take immediate corrective action,including those as may be required by this Division, such as the
construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities. Construction of any
wastewater treatment facilities will require issuance of an Authorization to Construct from this Division.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Certificate of Coverage and respective general permit may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in accordance with
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C. Please note that the general permit does require
monitoring in accordance with federal law. The monitoring data is not required to be submitted to the Division
unless specifically requested,however,the permittee is required to maintain all records for a period of at least three
(3) years.

Certificate of Coverage No. NCG550417
The issuance of this Certificate of Coverage is an administrative action initiated by the Division of
Environmental Management and therefore,no fees are due at this time. In accordance with current rules,there
are no annual administrative and compliance monitoring fees for coverage under general permits. The only fee
you will be responsible for is a renewal fee at the time of renewal. The current permit expires July 31,1997.
This coverage will remain valid through the duration of the attached general permit. The Division will be
responsible for the reissuance of the general permit and at such time,you will be notified of the procedures to
follow to continue coverage under the reissued permit. Unless you fail to follow the procedures for continued
coverage,you will continue to be permitted to discharge in accordance with the attached general permit.
The issuance of this Certificate of Coverage does not preclude the Permittee from complying with any and all
statutes,rules,regulations,or ordinances which may be required by the Division of Environmental Management
or permits required by the Division of Land Resources,the Coastal Area Management Act or any Federal or Local
other governmental permit that may be required.

Subject: NPDES PERMIT NO. NC0068250
BUNC0MBE COUNTY
Dear Permittee:
The subject permit issued on 9/10/86 expires on 8/31/91.- North Carolina
General Statute (NCGS) 143-215. 1(c) requires that an application for permit renewal
be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date. As of the date of this
letter, the Division of Environmental Management had not received an application for
renewal.
If operation of a discharge or waste treatment facility is to occur after the
permit's expiration date, or if continuation of the permit is desired, it must not be
allowed to expire. A renewal request must be submitted no later than 180 days prior
to the permit's expiration date. Operation of the waste treatment works or
continuation of a discharge after the expiration date would constitute a violation of
NCGS 143-215. 1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per
day. If continuation of the permit is desired, failure to request renewal at least
180 days prior to expiration will result in a civil assessment of at least $300.00;
larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
A renewal application shall consist of a letter requesting permit renewal along
with the appropriate completed and signed application form (copy attached), submitted
in triplicate, referenced in Title 15 of the North Carolina Administrative Code (15
NCAC) Subchapter 2H .0105(a) . Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 122 shall also submit a priority pollutant
analysis in accordance with Part 122.21. A processing fee must be submitted with the
application. In addition to penalties referenced above, a permit renewal request
received after the expiration date will be considered as a new application and will
require the higher application fee.

Attached is a copy of the fee schedule from 15 NCAC 2B. 0105(b) . The application
processing fee is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate,
listed in the first five categories of facilities. Presently, no facility is allowed
to submit a fee for the general permits listed in the schedule since the Environmental
Protection Agency has not approved the State of North Carolina's general permit. If
the facility covered by this permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative
description of the sludge management plan must be submitted with the application for
renewal.
The Environmental Management Commission adopted revised rules on October 1, 1990
(attached), requiring the payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities. You
will be billed separately for that fee (if applicable), after your permit is approved.
The letter requesting renewal, the completed Permit application, and appropriate
fee should be sent to:
Permits and Engineering Unit
Division of Environmental Management
Post Office Box 27687
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687
The check should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources which may be abbreviated as DEHNR.
If there are questions or a need for additional information regarding the permit
renewal procedure, please contact me at telephone number (919) 733-5083.

Definitions
a. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is
the arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected in a
one-month period. The monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria
is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one-month period.
b. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the.
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during a
one-week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria
is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one-week period.
c. 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.
d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the
summation of the individual values divided by the number of indi-
vidual values.
e. 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 indi-
vidual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean,
values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1) .

I (Daniel Boss)conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at 146 Lower Sheppard Branch in
Buncombe County. I met with Geneva Massey while onsite. I found the effluent pipe which was not
discharging at the time, and I didn't see any evidence of a recent past discharge. Geneva pointed out
the approximate locations of the septic tank and sand filter. She said the septic tank had been pumped
about 5 years ago. I did not smell any septic conditions or notice any ponding over any part of the
treatment system:

The permit was renewed in July 2013 and expires 7/31/2018.
We could not find the discharge pipe. Mr. Massey pointed out the approximate location of the sub-surface
sand filter. The discharge pipe should be located. According to the file,the original system design did not
include chlorination/dechlorination. There is no site map available for this system.
It is recommended that the septic tank be pumped every 3-5 years to protect the sand filter.

Sampling Tips
A typical annual sampling event, by a contractor, will probably cost—$150 per year.
i
That cost includes:
A trip charge to and from the single family residence and laboratory analyzing the samples.
Proper collection, preservation and analysis by a NC Certified Laboratory for:
BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) your daily maximum limit is 45 mg/I,
TSS (Total Suspended Solids) -your daily maximum limit is 45 mg/l,
Fecal Coliform -your daily maximum limit is 400 colonies/100 ml,
Field analysis of TRC (Total Residual Chlorine) performed on-site (within 15_minutes), with
low level monitoring equipment which measures ug/I (micrograms per liter). Your TRC
limit is 17 ug/I. A mailed copy of the sample analysis report and laboratory quality
control information.
(Keep the laboratory results for 3 years and show them to the!DWQ inspector.)
In order to keep costs to a minimum:
Make sure that the discharge pipe can be accessed. Keep the area clear of debris and
vegetation. Make sure that the pipe itself and the cascade aerator does not have algae,
vegetation, or debris obstructing the discharge to the creek.
Make sure that the system discharges. If it doesn't discharge, then determine why and
remedy. At the time of sampling, it may be necessary to make the system discharge by
using water doing laundry or dishes or bathing. If you are not at home and there is no
discharge when the sampling event is scheduled to take place, another trip charge will
be added, until a sample can be collected.
Make sure that the system has a sufficient supply of chlorine tablets to disinfect the
wastewater. This will be reflected in the fecal coliform laboratory results. If the
wastewater is not properly disinfected, the system will be considered non-compliant and
will result in a Notice of Violation.
Make sure that the system has a.sufficient supply of dechlorination tablets. This will be
reflected in the Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) results. The TRC limit is 17 ugA
(micrograms per liter). The results will be reported to the lowest detection limit that the
field equipment is annually certified for. For example: 17 ug(I may be reported as < 20
ug/l. Due to the sensitive and unstable nature of this test, any result that is measured
and less than 51 ug/I will be considered compliant with permit limits.

Dear Mr. Massey:
A Compliance Evaluation_ Insction was conducted June 13, 1994,
of the septic tank/subsurface sandfilter trench serving your
residence. Since the facility grounds indicated no problems, the
wastewater treatment facility appears to be operating properly and
is, therefore, considered to be in compliance with its General
Permit.
There is not a diagram of your system in our file, your daughter
showed me to the best of her knowledge the location of the septic
tank sandfilter. It would be greatly appreciated if you could draw a
diagram with landmarks showing the location of the system and
discharge point.
If, in the future, the residence is sold, please inform the new
owners that they will need to apply for a new permit. General permits
are not transferable.
If you should have any questions, please contact me at

Dear Ms. Lewis:
On October 20 , 1986 , I reviewed the construction of the septic
tank/subsurface sand filter sys;tem at property known as Earl Massey
Residence on Lower Shepherd Bre.nch Road, Buncombe County. It appears
that the system has been installed in 'accordance with plans and
specifications approved by this Division under NPDES Permit Number
NC0068250 . Therefore, the system should produce an effluent in
compliance with the terms and conditions of the permit.
Should you wish to further discuss this matter, please contact
me.
Sincerely,
