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

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The inspector(Linda Wiggs) met onsite with the owner, Mike Morgan. Kathy Jimison and Mika[Willmer
with DWR were also present.
The chlorine tablet tubes are very long/tall. Getting the tablets to lay flat will be a challenge, regardless
this needs to be attempted for proper contact with the wastewater for disinfection.
At the time of the inspection, photos in the tubes indicated tablets were lodged sideways.
It is also required that caps be placed on the chlorine tubes; none were present during the inspection.
The effluent pipe is below the water surface.The owner states and it did appear to be the case during
the inspection, that the effluent pipe also carries a small spring flow. There is no way to sample prior to
this comingling
Permittee has not conducted the required annual sampling event. The permittee must sample the
system annually.Any samples obtained by DWR do not count towards the permittees required annual
sampling.
The design of the system does not allow for effluent sampling without comingling with spring/stream
water. Regardless, sampling shall take place at the effluent pipe for compliance. If the stream is
running turbid, it is not suggested that samples be obtained until the stream is running clear. It is also
suggested that upstream samples be obtained in concert with the effluent sampling event for
comparison.This will assist in making sure the stream is not contributing pollutants to the effluent
samples.
DWR obtained samples.

obtained until the stream is running clear. It is also suggested that upstream samples be
obtained in concert with the effluent sampling event for comparison.This will assist in
making sure the stream is not contributing pollutants to the effluent sample results.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Regarding the General Permit(NCG550000)for Single Family Residences:
When does my permit expire and how do I renew it?
The expiration date of the permit is on the first page of the General Permit. This General
Permit expires on July 31, 2012. Approximately 180 days prior the expiration of the General
Permit, you will receive a renewal notice in the mail from the Division.
Key Permit Requirements To Remember
• Annual sampling of the effluent from the system is required.
• The parameters to be sampled can be found in Part I, Section A. A North Carolina state
certified laboratory should be contacted to perform the analytical monitoring. A list of North
Carolina certified laboratories can be obtained by looking in the telephone directory yellow
pages under"laboratories—testing" or by calling the Division of Water Quality Asheville
Regional Office at 828-296-4500.
• All samples should be collected before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other
wastestream, water or substance. (Part II, Section D:1)
• The permittee shall give notice to the Division of any planned physical alterations or additions
to the system that could significantly increase the quantity of pollutants discharged or
introduce new pollutants to the discharge. These alterations include any types of residence/
facility expansions. (Part II, Section E:3)
• Submission of monitoring reports is NOT required. All monitoring information must be retained
on site for a period of 3 years. (Part II, Section E:1)
Does a North Carolina state certified lab need to be used to analyze samples?
Yes, a North Carolina certified lab must be used to perform analytical monitoring. The only
exception to this rule is when measuring the value of pH. These pH values should be measured in
the field because they may change considerably between when the sample is pulled and it is
analyzed at the laboratory.
Operation and Maintenance
In order to protect water quality and to ensure proper operation of domestic wastewater systems,
the following measures should be taken:
• Check the septic tank every year to see if solids should be removed.
• Have the septic tank pumped out every three to five years. Contact a local septic service/repair
company from the yellow pages.
• Inspect disinfection and dechlorination equipment(if applicable)weekly to confirm proper
operation.
• If a chlorinator and/or dechlorinator is installed, replace tablets whenever necessary. ~

Permit: NCG550710 Owner-Facility: 840 Emma Road
Inspection Date: 03/18/2011 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
Tips for Maintaining Your Septic Tank
The septic tank is usually a watertight concrete box buried in the ground outside the house.
Wastewaters from the house, including the toilets, shower, bathtub, washing machine and
dishwasher flow into the tank. Heavier solid materials settle to the bottom and the liquid flows
out of the tank into a soil drainfield. Both the septic tank and drainfield must be properly
maintained for the system to work correctly for many years. Some tips for maintaining your
septic system are:
• Do not put too much water into the septic system. Try to conserve water wherever possible.
• Do not add materials such as chemicals, sanitary napkins, or other foreign objects.
• Restrict the use of your garbage disposal
• Do not pour fats, oils or grease (FOGs) down the drain.
• Have the solids pumped out of the septic tank every 3-5 years.
• Keep automobiles and heavy equipment off of the septic tank and drain field.
• Keep the area free of heavy vegetation, brush, bushes or trees, etc. Maintain grass over the
area.
Chlorination and Dechlorination Tablets
• If the treatment system has a chlorinator or dechlorinator, it is important that there is an
adequate supply of tablets to ensure proper disinfection. There will usually be a white PVC pipe
sticking up from the chlorinator/dechlorinator where the tablets should be inserted.
• Ensure that the chlorine tablets are making contact with the wastewater. Moisture can cause
them to swell up and clog the feeder tube. If this happens, shake the feeder tube or use a pipe
/rod to dislodge the swollen tablets.
• Tablets can be obtained from most plumbing or chemical supply stores. Make sure that the tablets
are certified for wastewater use. Chlorine tablets are NOT the same type of chlorine used for
swimming pools.
Some of the signs that your septic system may be having problems are:
• Sewage backing up into your toilets, tubs or sinks.
• Slowly draining fixtures; particularly after it has rained.
• The smell of raw sewage accompanied by soggy soil over the drainfield.
• Sewage discharging over the ground or in nearby ditches or woods. If you see any of these
signs, contact a septic repair company from the yellow pages in your area.
Right-of-Way
Issuance of this general permit does not relieve the permittee from obtaining all necessary
right-of-way or easement rights to discharge wastewater on or across another property.
What If I Sell My Property?
The Division views changes of name or ownership as a minor modification and requires the
Director's approval. Name and ownership changes require you to complete a Name/Ownership Change
Form. The forms are available by contacting the NPDES Permitting Program at(919) 807-6300.

Regarding the General Permit (NCG550000) for Single Family Residences:
When does my permit expire and how do'I renew it?
The expiration date of the permit is on the first page of the General Permit. This General
Permit expires on July 31,`2012. Approximately 180 days prior the expiration of the General
Permit, you will receive a renewal notice in the mail from the Division.
Key Permit Requirements To Remember
• Annual sampling of the effluent from the system is required.
• The parameters to be sampled can be found in Part 1, Section A. A North Carolina state
certified laboratory should be contacted to perform the analytical monitoring. A list of North
Carolina certified laboratories can be obtained by looking in the telephone directory yellow
pages under"laboratories—testing" or by calling the Division of Water Quality Asheville -
Regional Office at 828-296-4500.
• All samples should be collected before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other
wastestream, water or substance. (Part II, Section D:1)
• The permittee shall give notice to the Division of any planned physical alterations or additions
to the system that could significantly increase the quantity of pollutants discharged or
introduce new pollutants to the discharge. These alterations include any types of residence/
facility expansions. (Part 11, Section E:3)
• Submission of monitoring reports is NOT required. All monitoring information must be retained
on site for a period of 3 years. (Part II, Section E:1)
Does a North Carolina state certified lab need to be used to analyze samples?
Yes, a North Carolina certified lab must be used to perform analytical monitoring. The only
exception to this rule is when measuring the value of pH. These pH values should be measured in
the field because they may change considerably between when the sample is pulled and it is
analyzed at the laboratory.
Operation and Maintenance
In order to protect water quality and to ensure proper operation of domestic wastewater systems,
the following measures should be taken:
• Check the septic tank every year to see if solids should be removed.
• Have the septic tank pumped out every three to five years. Contact a local septic service/repair
company from the yellow pages.
• Inspect disinfection and dechlorination equipment (if applicable)weekly to confirm proper
operation. F;
• If a chlorinator and/ordechlorinator is installed, replace tablets whenever necessary.

Tips for Maintaining Your Septic Tank
The septic tank is usual) a watertight concrete box buried in the round outside
p y g g e the house.
Wastewaters from the house, including the toilets, shower, bathtub,washing machine and
dishwasher flow into the tank. Heavier solid materials settle to the bottom and the liquid flows
out of the tank into a soil drainfield. Both the septic tank and drainfield must be properly
maintained for the system to work correctly for many years. Some tips for maintaining your
septic system are: -
• Do not put too much water into the septic system. Try to conserve water wherever possible:
• Do not add materials such as chemicals, sanitary napkins, or other foreign objects.
• Restrict the use of your garbage disposal.
• Do not pour fats, oils or grease (FOGs) down the drain.
• Have the solids pumped out of the septic tank every 3-5 years.
• Keep automobiles and heavy equipment off of the septic tank and drain field.
• Keep the area free of heavy vegetation, brush, bushes or trees, etc. Maintain grass over the
area.
Chlorination and Dechlorination Tablets
• If the treatment system has a chlorinator or dechlorinator, it is important that there is an
adequate supply of tablets to ensure proper disinfection. There will usually be a white PVC pipe
sticking up from the chlorinator/dechlorinator where the tablets should be inserted.
• Ensure that the chlorine tablets are making,contact with the,wastewater.- Moisture can cause
them to swell up and clog the feeder tube.. If this happens; shake the feeder tube or use a pipe
/rod to dislodge the swollen tablets. „
• Tablets can be obtained from most plumbing or chemical supply stores. Make sure that the tablets
are certified for wastewater use. Chlorine tablets are NOT the same type-of chlorine used for;
swimming pools.
Some of the signs that your septic system may be having problems are:
• Sewage backing up into your toilets, tubs or sinks.
• Slowly draining fixtures; particularly after it has rained.
• The smell of raw sewage accompanied by soggy soil over the drainfield.
• Sewage discharging over the ground or in nearby ditches or woods. If you see any of these
signs, contact a septic repair company from the yellow pages in your area.
Right-of-Way
Issuance of this general permit does not relieve the permittee from obtaining all necessary
right-of-way or easement rights to discharge wastewater on or across another property.

Director's approval. Name and ownership changes require you to complete a Name/Ownership Change
