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.

Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of this permit. 4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities a. Bypass not exceeding limitations. 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. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs b. and c. of this section. b. Notice (1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass. (2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II.E.6 of this permit. (24-hour notice). c. Prohibition of Bypass (1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass, unless: (a) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; (b) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and (c) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph b. of this section. (2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph c. (1) of this section. 5. Upsets a. Effect of an upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph b. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. b. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: Page 7 of 11 Pages General Permit NCG55000 0 (1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; (2) The permitted facility was at the time being properly operated; and (3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II.E.6.b.2 of this permit. (3) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II.B.2 of this permit. c. Burden of proof. In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. 6. Removed Substances Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the disposal of sludge may be reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices. 7. Power Failures The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DWQ Regulation, Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent. SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS 1. Representative Sampling Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily shall be collected on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the period the sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority. 2. Test Procedures Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq., the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136. To meet the.intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce minimum detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved method must be used. 3. Penalties for Tampering The Clean Water Act provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate, any monitoring device or method required to be maintained under this permit shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 per violation, or by imprisonment for not more than two years per violation, or by both.

Permit Issuing Authority: The Director of the Division of Water Quality. 2. DWO or Division: Division of Water Quality,Department of Environment,Health 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 of Water Quality. Page 3 of 12 Pages General Permit NCG550000 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. Average Monthly 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. 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 Sams .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 0). c. Weighted by Flow Value: The summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. 10. Calendar Day: 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 intentionaldiversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility(including the collection. system). The pemuttee 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. U��set. 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.

Howes, Secretary A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director November 29, 1993 Herschel Morgan 21 Shackleford Drive Asheville NC 28806 Subject: Certified Operator Requirements Single Family Treatment Systems NPDES Permit No. NCG550413 Buncombe County Dear Mr.Morgan: 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: P.O.

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, Mi/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) . cil PAPT 11 A. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS 1.

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 PART 11 A. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS 1.

C . 28806 Dear Sir: Enclosed is my $25 .00 application fee and three completed NPDES permit application forms for a three bedroom single family residence at Lot # 29 , Forrest Edge Subdivision. Request that you review the following proposal and .issue authorization for con- struction as soon as possible. The proposal includes three completed NPDES 'permit application forms with the following attachments : Attachment # 1 Letter from_Mr_ Ron Thomas , Buncombe County Health Department , stating that <ghe soil is unsuitable for ground absorption sewage sy.stem.. Attachment # 2 .Site Plan for lot # 29 Forest Edge Subdivision.. Attachment # 3 Drawing and specifications a 1 , 250 gallon septic tank to be manufactured by and purchased from AACME Septic Tank Company, 135 Monticello Road, Weaverville, N. C . Attachment # 4 Cross section drawing of :theproposed 6 ` X66v sand filter system. The following data was used to design the proposed Water Waste Treatment facility. 1 . The soil was determined to be unsuitable for a ground absorption sewage system. 2 . Wesley Branch, which borders the. South side of the lot , will be capable of handling the treated discharge . 3 . The proposed Sand filter system is designed so as to provide sufficient secondary treatment so that it will have a negligable effect upon the water quality of Wesley Branch . 4 . The three bedroom single family residence will generate a maximum flow of 450 gallons per day. page 2 5 . The proposed 1 , 250 gallon baffled septic tank will allow for 48 hours of retention time plus adequate sludge storage. 6 . Due to the triangular shape of the lot and the steepness of the=terrain, a six foot wide trench was selected versus a 3 ft . trench . Size was determined as follows : 450 GPD 1 . 15 = 391 .3 sq. ft . Thus a 6'X66 ' size was selected which provides 396 sq . ft . 7 . Sand filter media shall meet the following specifications : 0 . 35 to 0 . 5 MM effective size 3 . 0 uniformity coefficient-- 0 . 5 dust content Media will be purchased from and certified by Southern Concrete, 500 Richland St . , Waynesville, N. C . 28786 (POC Mr . Ron Mahaley, ( 704) 456-9048) . Sand required will be a minimum of 22 cu. yards 6 'X66 'X1 . 5 ' = 594 cu. ft . - 27 22 cu. Yd. S . All influent and effluent pipe shall be 4" diameter as stated on drawing ( attachment # 4) and shall be covered by a minimum of 18" of back fill . 9 . The 6 ' wide trench requires .that there be two 4" distribution pipes therefore a precast distribution box will be used. 10 . Filter trench and both the distribution and the collection pipes will be shot by a transit to provide a uniform grade of 3"/ 100 ' . 11 . All pipe shall be 4-inch diameter . Distribution lines shall be VC tight joint and filtration collection lines shall be V.C . p-bell and spigot . 12 . All facilities shall be located a minimum of 100 ' from a potable water supply well and 10 ft . from the property line and house . This proposed waste Water Treatment Facility should provide adequate secondary treatment so that there will be a negligable effect upon the water quality of Wesley Branch .

System owner Mr. Herschel S. Morgan was not present during this inspection, but was later contacted by phone. Mr. Morgan said that the system consists of a septic tank, sand filter drain field, and a discharge point (outfall). He said that he hasn't had the tank pumped recently, but would have it pumped when he returned to the property in June. Mr. Morgan said that when the system was installed no liner was required for the sand filter and that it seems to percolate quite well since he has never witnessed any discharge.
