Signed this day July 27, 2007. f for Coleen H. Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality By Authority of the Environmental Management Commission A M3M TA MCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY Revised August 1, 2008 1 Who Is Covered Under This Permit? This permit covers discharges of treated domestic wastewater from single family residences at flows not to exceed 1000 gallons per day. Other types of facilities discharging less than 1000 gallons per day of treated domestic wastewatermay be covered under this permit with the approval of the Division. Changes in Reissued General Permit The previous General Permit expired July 31, 2007. The permit has been reissued for an additional five years. The new permit contains the following significant changes from the previous version: • Dechlorination is now required for all facilities installing' chlorination after, the effective date of the final permit. Risers will be required on all new septic tanks making them easier to locate. There were also changes made to the Notice of Intent (NOI) which is filed to gain coverage under this permit. The NOI requires updated buffer requirements aligning with 15A NCAC 02T .0506, and the sign -off of a professional engineer for all new systems. Key Permit Requirements • 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 certified laboratory should be contacted to perform the analytical monitoring. A list of certified laboratories can be obtained by calling the Division. • 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 I1, 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) Minimum Treatment System Requirements System requirements for existing (previously constructed) systems are a septic tank, sand filter and disinfection apparatus. All existing facilities adding chlorination after August 1, 2007 will also be required to add dechlorination. System requirements for a new (not yet constructed) system are a septic tank, primary and secondary (or recirculating) sand filters, chlorination/dechlorination (or equivalent means of disinfection) and post -aeration apparatus. 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. 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 grease or cooking oils 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. 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 operation. There will usually be a white PVC pipe sticking up from the chlorinator/dechlorinator where the tablets should be inserted. Tablets can be obtained from most plumbing supply stoles. Make sure 4) Does a certified lab need to be used to analyze that the tablets are certified for wastewater use. Chlorine samples? tablets are NOT the same .type of chlorineused for Yes, a North Carolina certified lab must be used to swimming pools. perform analytical monitoring. The only exception to this rule is when measuring the value of pH. pH Signs of Septic System Problems values should be measured in the field because they may change considerably between when the sample Some of the signs that your septic system may be having is pulled and it is analyzed at the laboratory. A list of problems are: certified labs is available from the Division. • 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. e 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. Mehl -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. Frequently Asked Questions 1) Do I need to submit the monitoring results annually? No. The submission of monitoring reports for this permit is not required. There are no standardized Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) associated with this permit. All monitoring results should be kept on site for three years. The Division may request these reports for review at any time. (Part 1I, Section E:l) 2) Do I need to employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to manage and run the system? Not at this time. The Division's Operator Training and Certification Unit does not currently plan to classify these types of facilities for the purposes of needing a certified operator. The requirement was left in the permit at this time with clarification, in the event that classification was assigned in the future. (Part 1I, Section C:1) 3) Where do I find my stream classification? The stream classification, i.e. WS-IV, C, Tr, etc. can usually be found in the Certificate of Coverage. If you are unsure of your stream classification, you can contact the NPDES Permitting Program. S) 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. 6) When does my permit expire and.how do I renew it?

I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fines and imprisonment for knowing violations." 14. Permit Actions This permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated for cause. The filing of a request by the permittee for a permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination, or a notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any permit condition. 15. Permit Modification Revocation and Reissuance, or Termination The issuance of this permit does not prohibit the permit issuing authority from reopening and modifying the permit, revoking and reissuing the permit, or terminating the permit as allowed by the laws, rules, and regulations contained in Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 122 and 123; Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H .0100; and North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 et. al. SECTION C. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS Certified Operator Pursuant to Chapter 90A-44 of North Carolina General Statutes, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities. The permittee shall notify the Division's Operator Training and Certification Unit within one hundred and twenty days of any change in the ORC status. NOTE: This requirement does not apply until the permittee receives a letter notifying them of classification of the facility. Currently, facilities are not being classified for this purpose, but may at some time in the future. Page 6 of 11 Pages General Permit NCG550000 2. Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities [or similar systems] installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. 3. 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 NCG550000 (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.

No. NCG550514 Buncombe County 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, anannual 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.

'T /•• [DEF=1 Subject: CLAUDE ROBINSON (RESIDENCE) Certificate of Coverage NCG550514 General Permit NCG550000 Formerly NPDES Permit NCO076759 Buncombe County 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 NC0076759. 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 II, E.4. 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.

BOX'1701 NCSR 2207 WEAVERVILLE, NC 28787 Subject: NPDES PERMIT NO. NCO076759 BUNCOMBE COUNTY Dear Permittee: The subject permit issued on 7/28/89 expires on 6/30/94. 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 $250.00; larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. A renewal application shall consist of the following information: 1. A letter requesting the renewal. 2. The completed application form (copy attached), signed and submitted in triplicate, referenced in Title 15 of North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC) Subchapter 2H .0105(a). 3._A processing fee (see attached schedule) in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b). The application processing fee is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate, listed in the first categories of facilities. 4. 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. 5. Facilities which have not been constructed within the last permit cycle and are therefore, considered "new" facilities, shall also submit an Engineering Alternatives Analysis, referenced in 15A NCAC Subchapter 2H .0103 and Subchapter 2B .0201(c). 6. 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 the renewal. In addition to penalities 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. 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b)(2) requires payment of an annual Administrative and Compliance Monitoring 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 29535 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 The check should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources which may be abbreviated as DEHNR.

Evaluation Inspection at 721 Old Mars Hill Hwy in Buncombe County. The owner, Elsie Robinson, and Claude Robinson were both present for the inspection. The general appearance of the system was adequate. There was no detectable sewage smell or other sign of septic system failure. Ms. Robinson said she had the septic tank pumped 2 years ago by Carter Septic, but did not retain the receipt. Carter septic could not verify the work had been done because Ms. Robinson could not pinpoint the month/year of the septic pumping. The effluent pipe is buried in the stream bank and was not located, during the inspection. Claude tried unsuccessfully to locate/uncover the effluent pipe while,I was onsite. The effluent pipe does need to be uncovered and monitored to be. brought into compliance.

This inspection was conducted to verify that the facility is operating -incompliance with the conditions and limitations specified in NPDES WW Permit No. NCG550514. A summary of the findings and comments noted during the inspection are provided in the enclosed copy of the inspection report. The Compliance Evaluation inspection was conducted by Division of Water Resources staff from the Asheville Regional Office. The following violation(s) were noted during the inspection: Inspection Area Description of Violation Effluent Sampling Annual water quality monitoring required by the general permit has not been conducted. [NCG550000 Part I. A. Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements (see table in NCG550000 permit)]. Permit The Annual Administering and Compliance Monitoring Fee has not been paid for 2014 and 2015 and is past due. [NCG550000 Part II. Section B General Conditions 12] in accordance with [15A NCAC 02H .0105(b)(2)]. Septic Tank The septic tank has not been checked annually and pumped out every 3-5 years or when the solids level is found to be more than 1/3 of the liquid depth in any compartment. [NCG550000 Part I. A. 6. Permit Conditions (Operation & Maintenance) Septic Tanks]. State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Water Resources 2090 U.S. 70 Highway, Swannanoa, NC 28778 828-296-4500 In addition, the issues below must also be addressed: Compliance Issue(s): A visual review of the outfall location has not been executed twice each year as required to ensure that no, visible solids or other obvious evidence of system malfunctioning is observed. Any visible signs of a malfunctioning -system shall be documented and steps taken to correct the problem. [NCG550000 Part I. A. 3. Permit Conditions (Operation & Maintenance) Visual Review of Outfall]. • Water discharging from the effluent pipe was dark gray and not clear. Discharge was very low flow, but was still causing visual degradation of the receiving stream (Gentry Branch). Samples were not collected at this time; however, it appeared likely that effluent limitations would be violated. [NCG550000 Part II. B. la (General Conditions)]. Remedial actions should have already been taken to correct this problem and prevent further occurrences in the future. The Division of Water Resources may pursue enforcement action for this and any additional violations of State law. To prevent further action, please respond in writing to this office within 30 days upon your receipt of this Notice of Violation regarding your plans or measures to be taken to address the indicated violations and other identified issues, if applicable. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Daniel Boss with the Water Quality Regional Operations Section in the Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-4658.

The property owner/permittee, Mr. Claude Robinson, was present during this inspection. Mr. Robinson said that he hasn't had the septic tank pumped recently, but that it was probably due. He said the tank is located at the front of the house on the left side and that he would have to dig to expose it for pumping. Mr. Robinson said that the sand filter drain field is also in the front yard and flows to the right side. He pointed where the effluent pipe is located and where it discharges to the stream (Gentry Branch), Water discharging from the effluent pipe was dark gray and not clear. Although small fish were observed swimming downstream and the discharge was very low flow, visual degradation of the receiving stream was still observed. Samples were not collected at this time; however, it appeared likely that the permit effluent limitations would be violated. I informed Mr. Robinson of the violations l observed and asked that he have the septic tank pumped as soon as possible. By not having the septic tank pumped out regularly (every 3-5 years), the life span and effectiveness of the sand filter system may be compromised. A follow-up inspection will be conducted to determine if pumping the septic tank has resolved the problem or if additional measures need to be taken to return to compliance.
