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.

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:

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 Sam lames: 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. 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 maybe 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.

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments`(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
On January 27,2015,Andrew Moore and Tim Heim of the Asheville Regional Office conducted a `\
compliance evaluation inspection of the Rogers residence. Mr. Rogers was not present at the time of
the inspection.The inspectors were unable to remove the caps to the chlorination and declorination
tubes to check for the presence of tablets.Chlorination and dechlorination tablets must be present for
the system to operate properly.The effluent pipe was located and was discharging a small volume of
liquid at the time of the inspection. No foam or other debris were observed in the discharge.
The system appeared to be maintained and functioning properly at the time of the inspection.

Alternatives and Options
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Sexton: 7(
Below is the information you requested regarding a permit to discharge wastewater generated at
a single-family residence (or a small generator) that does not have a traditional septic tank and
distribution field as an option. In order for the Division of Water Quality to comply with 15A NCAC 2H
.0105 (c) (3), all other wastewater treatment and disposal alternatives must be explored prior to
considering a discharge option. To obtain a permit to discharge wastewater the following criteria
must be met:
• A statement of a lack of community sewer availability (municipal or other) for the proposed site.
• A letter of denial from the Buncombe County Health Department stating that a traditional septic
tank and distribution field are not acceptable for the proposed site.
• A letter of denial from the NC State Department of Environmental Health (or its representative)
stating that an alternative type of onsite (including subsurface spray irrigation or drip irrigation),
subsurface disposal system is not permittable.
• A letter from a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist, which states there is no available surface
disposal (spray irrigation or drip irrigation of treated wastewater.) alternative available. (Must be
stamped and signed with his / her professional seal.)
• A justification from the applicant that no adjacent or additional property is available for any of the
above types of disposal system. This should be both a financial justification and an
environmental justification including the above criteria.
Lastly, any submitted application must include a wastewater system design,which will adequately
handle the proposed waste to be generated from the planned residence. As newly constructed
wastewater treatment and disposal systems must include aseptic tank, primary and secondary (or
re-circulating) sand filters, disinfection, and post aeration apparatus. The submitted application must

Regarding: Engineer's Approval
Single Family Discharge System
Rogers Residence
179 Old Lakey Gap
Black Mountain,NC 28711
Dear Mr. Haynes:
Brooks & Medlock Engineering has completed out final inspection of the Single Family
Surface Discharge System permitted under General Permit NCG550000 for Mr. Milton
Rogers at the above referenced location.
Our ability to verify construction of the system is limited as BME never inspected the
system during construction, only at completion. The owner and contractor have indicated
yourself and/or representatives from your office inspected the system while under
construction and these inspections will have to warranty the construction for all covered
portions of the system. The owner and contractor have stated that upon completion of the
construction your office verbally authorized them to cover the sand filters and begin
operation.
BME has inspected all accessible/visible portions of the system. While the system
appears to meet the general intent of the design,the following conditions were noted that
do not concur with the approved engineering plans.
1. The location of Pump Tank#2 was moved to the east side of the two story house.
This is not an issue.
2. The emergency float level switch on Pump Tank# 1 is only 14 inches from the
top of the tank. This provides for less than 24 hours of emergency storage. The
float switch setting should be checked and adjusted as needed to conform with the
engineering design by the system operator of record. Having the dose volumes
conform to the plans is essential to the long term operation of the system and
BME was unable to verify the dose volumes with the float switches.
3. The control panels on both pump tanks do not conform to the plans. A Zoeller
simplex control panel was not utilized, only an alarm was installed. The alarms
17 ARLINGTON STREET • ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 28801 • [phone] • FAX [phone]

are less than 24 "off of the ground and the junction boxes are located inside the
risers. It is my understanding that the alarm boxes are to be raised by the owner.
4. The residual pressure at the manifold was not checked as the head check
connection was not installed and wastewater was present in the system,making
conducting a pressure head test unsanitary.
5. The distribution box and sand filters were covered so the existence of the D-box
could not be verified and the sand filter construction could not be verified, nor
could the specifications for the sand utilized be verified. However,this was
reportedly all inspected and approved by the NCDENR office.
6. The discharge pipe was close to the creek water level. BME recommends a
flapper valve be installed to prevent surface water intrusion in to the system
during a high water event. It is my understanding the owner has installed the
flapper valve.
Again, despite the deficiencies noted and the inability to inspect covered portions of the
system,the system appears to be constructed in agreement with the general intent of the
plans and appeared to be currently operating as intended. Given that your office has
inspected the sand filter construction and approved it, it is my understanding the Permit
to Operate is to be issued.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments. We appreciate the opportunity
to work with you on this project.

Dear Permittee:
You are receiving this notice because you currently own a property covered under the subject
General Permit for the discharge of domestic wastewater. NCG550000 will expire on July 31, 2007.
Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require
that permit renewal applications be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit.
To satisfy this requirement, the Division must receive a renewal request postmarked no later than
February 1, 2007.
The Certificate of Coverage (CoC) specific to your property was last issued on February 2,
2005. The Division needs information from you to determine if coverage under NCG550000 is still
necessary.
➢ If your property still has a wastewater system like the ones described in the enclosed
Technical Bulletin, you must renew the subject CoC. Complete the enclosed form and
submit it to the address on the form.
➢ If you are not sure what type of system your property has, contact Larry Frost in the NC
DENR Asheville Regional Office at. That person [or other staff members] can help you
determine if you should renew your CoC.
➢ If you know that your property no longer discharges wastewater, contact me at the
address or phone number listed below to request rescission of the CoC.
➢ This information request does not pertain to the Annual Fee of$50.00 billed
separately by the Division's Budget Office. No money is required for this
procedure. The Annual Fee is like the fee you annually pay the DMV for the sticker on
your vehicle's license plate. Renewal of your CoC is like the renewal of your Driver's
License [ca. every five years].
➢ If you have already mailed a renewal request, you may disregard this notice.

Re:General Permit Coverage Justification Letter
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to accompany the Request for Coverage under General Discharge Permit NCG
550000 by Brooks and Medlock Engineering. This letter provides environmental and economic
justification for my general permit coverage request.
In 2002 I realized I had a failing septic system at my residence and contacted the Buncombe
County Health Department(BCHD). The BCHD evaluated my options for repairing the system
and concluded that there was no additional suitable area (see attached .letter dated August 16,
2002. The BCHD stated that my current system was to be condemned and that I find an
alternative solution for my sanitary sewer service. The BCHD has since made additional visits to
my property to evaluate all subsurface and surface disposal options and has not rescinded their
2002 conclusions. I have additionally had a North Carolina Certified Soil Scientist evaluate my
site for a surface or subsurface wastewater application. The soil scientist also deemed the site
unsuitable(see attached Soil Scientist report dated August 16,2004).
In 2003 I hired Brooks and Medlock Engineering to evaluate my alternative wastewater options.
They concluded the only two remaining options were to extend the Buncombe County Municipal
Sewer District (MSD) system to my residence or have a surface discharge system. The first
option was investigated. Although the cost was significant,the decision to attempt to connect to
the existing MSD system was made. Plans were engineered for a pump station and pressure/
gravity sewer extension that connected my residence to the existing system which was located
approximately 1700 feet away. However, easements from each of the private residences whose
drives had to be crossed to make the extension had to be granted before the Town of Black
Mountain and/or the NCDOT would grant easements along the roads for the sewer extension.
The private easements could not be obtained despite an extended effort.

The aforementioned circumstances have left me with no other sanitary sewer options other than to
apply for coverage under the state general discharge permit.
I appreciate your consideration of my application. I can be reached at(828)669-6530 if you have
any questions or need additional information. Brooks and Medlock Engineering has been
assigned as my agent in this matter and can be reached at(828)232-4700.
Sincerely,
Milton Rogers

Mr. Milton Rogers
179 Old Lakey Gap Road
Black Mountain,NC 28711
Dear Mr. Rogers,
On July 20, 2004, W.Allen Hayes,Jr. of Southeast Soil Science,Inc. conducted a soil
and site evaluation on your property at 179 Old Lakey Gap Road near the town of Black
Mountain in Buncombe County,NC. The purpose of the evaluation was to determine
soil and site suitability for a septic system.
Two two-bedroom houses exist on the property. Currently, one house is occupied and
has a failing septic system. A four-bedroom repair system is being sought. Buncombe
County Environmental Health has determined the site is unsuitable for land-based
discharge of wastewater. That is,Buncombe County Environmental Health has rejected
the site for conventional, gravelless,large diameter pipe;low pressure pipe and
subsurface drip irrigation systems(subsurface systems)and for surface drip irrigation and
spray irrigation systems (surface systems). Southeast Soil Science,Inc.was asked to
render a second opinion.
Fieldwork was conducted as follows. The soil was examined using a three-inch hand
auger and a solid;metal push probe. Soil color'was determined using Munsell Soil Color
Charts. A Suunto clinometer was used to determine soil slope. A map is enclosed
showing general landscape features, drainage patterns and approximate locations of soil
borings.
Recommendations are based on, but not limited to observations made and data collected
on topography,landscape position,parent material,underlying geology, and soil
characteristics. Soil characteristics include depth to a seasonal high water table(SHWT),
depth to a restrictive horizon, total soil depth, soil horizonation, soil structure, soil color,
clay mineralogy, bulk density, consistence,plasticity, stone content,and percent sand,
silt,clay, and mica. They follow the guidelines established in North Carolina Laws and
Rules for Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems,laws amended effective August 28,
1996,rules amended effective January, 1999. Grading which occurs subsequent to this
fieldwork renders the soil investigation in the graded area null and void.
533 CRABTREE MOUNTAIN ROAD• CANTON NC 28716.828-648-7080

Results
The site is located on a low terrace of Lynch Creek and its tributaries. The majority of
the site is unavailable for use due to 50-foot setbacks from surface waters. Only a small
triangular shaped portion is available for potential use(see map). Three borings were
dug in this area. Soil profile descriptions are included with this report.
All borings are characterized by evidence of saturated soils-that is, soils containing redox
depletions. Boring 1 showed a seasonal high water table(SHWT) at 24 inches below the
soil surface. Boring 2 showed a SHWT at 36 inches. Boring 3 had redox depletions
beginning at the natural soil surface. The naturally occurring soil surface of Boring 3 was
beneath approximately 12 inches of fill material.
Discussion
The primary limitations to this site are: one,lack of space; and two, shallow depth to the
seasonal high water table. Boring 3 is unsuitable for any septic system. Borings 1 and 2
are potentially usable for a subsurface drip irrigation system(all other subsurface
discharge systems require greater depth of usable soil). A four-bedroom repair system
using subsurface drip irrigation would require 1600 linear feet(LF)of line on two-foot
centers at a recommended Long Term Acceptance Rate(LTAR) of 0.15 gal/ft2/day.
Based on on-site observations and general calculations made using the site map,the site
can only accommodate approximately 800 to 1000 LF of line. Therefore,subsurface drip
irrigation and all other subsurface discharge systems are not feasible at this site.
Surface discharge systems (surface drip irrigation and spray irrigation) are not feasible at
this site, either. Setback requirements from property lines, surfaces waters and residences
under separate ownership cannot be met.. Therefore,no land-based method of wastewater
removal is available at this site. Southeast Soil Science, Inc. corroborates the findings of
the Buncombe County Environmental Health Department.
Thank you for the opportunity of providing this soils information to'you. Please call W.
Allen Hayes, Jr. at 299-4936 or John B. Allison at 648-7080 with questions.
Sincerely,

SYSTEM NARRATIVE
This system is compromised of a single pass subsurface sand filter to provide treatment
for two residential home sites under the same ownership. One residence is currently
being lived in while the second is undergoing renovation. The primary residence is a two
bedroom home located on the east parcel.The primary residence is a two bedroom house
with a 240 gallons per day(gpd)design flow. The other home is unoccupied and will
eventually be restored as a 3 bedroom home. The system is being designed for the
additional 360 gpd from the secondary home site. Total design flow for the system is 600
gpd. Each home will have a new septic tank and pump tank installed. The primary
residence pump tank will pump to the secondary residence pump tank. Waste water is
then pumped from secondary residence pump tank to a pressure manifold. Due to site
and topography restrictions,the primary sand filter is split into two equal sections to
achieve the calculated length necessary. Flow to each lateral in each field will be evenly
distributed through the pressure manifold. Primary sand filter discharges via gravity line
to a distribution;box where flow is equally distributed to each lateral in the secondary
sand filter. Discharge from the secondary sand filter gravity flows to chlorination tablet
feeder. Flow is then detained in chlorination chamber for a minimum 30 minute contact
time. After chlorination, flow is routed through dechlorination tablet feeder and detained
in dechlorination contact chamber for 30 minute minimum detention time. After
dechlorination,the flow discharges over concrete aeration steps and over placed riprap
before outfall to Lynch Creek. The owner will be responsible for providing a back-up
power supply for both pump tanks.

DEFINITIONS
Open Sand Filters (single pass):
Primary or secondary effluent is distributed once, over an exposed, open sand bed. Removable covers
are typically used. Wastewater may be applied by gravity flow through distribution lines, periodic surface
flooding or spray distribution. Treatment by entrapment, sorption and assimilation takes place as the
wastewater percolates through the sand bed. Collection is made by underdrain lines imbedded in gravel
which convey the filtrate to disinfection treatment and final discharge: Collection lines may be vented to
the top of the sand bed to allow for aeration.
Buried (subsurface) Sand Filters
Similar to open sand filters except the sand filter is constructed below grade and covered with backfill.
Wastewater is applied by gravity flow through perforated distribution lines installed on top of the filter
bed. Distribution and collection lines may be vented to the surface to allow for aeration of the sand bed.

Tablet Feeder
Model 200
The Simple, Reliable Way to Disinfect
Wastewater
The Exceltec International Corporation(EIC)Model 200
Tablet Feeder is a complete,one-piece system for highly
reliable disinfection of effluent in properly operating
treatment plants having a design capacity of 1,500 GPD or
less. The tablet feeder is used in conjunction with
SANURIL®tablets,a disinfecting agent that provides a
chemically stable source of chlorine for wastewater
disinfection.
The EIC Tablet feeder is suitable for assembly into new
treatment systems. Also, it can be installed into existing
treatment facilities where wastewater chlorination is being
added or to replace troublesome, unreliable or complicated
chlorination systems.
Superior Performance at a Lower Cost
Better Performance
The entire plant flow passes through the tablet feeder
where thorough mixing of wastewater with a controlled
amount of chlorine takes place.This means more effective
disinfection action and less bacteria re-growth.
Low Initial Cost
In addition to low investment in the EIC Tablet Feeder,
savings are compounded because no pumps,mixing tanks
or costly control devices are required as with most other
chlorination systems.
Simple,Low-Cost Installation
One piece tablet feeder construction requires only inlet
piping.No electrical power,wiring,bypasses,or other
piping required.
Lower Operating Costs
The tablet feeder can operate up to 60 days on a single
load of tablets.No time-consuming pre-mixing of
chemicals is required.Refilling SANURIL tablets is quick
and easy.No costs for electrical power or auxiliary power.
Maintenance-Free Operation
No tanks,pumps,cylinders,external control devices or
other moving parts to break down.System is non-
mechanical,rust and corrosion proof.

Model 200 Tablet Feeder
Operating Principle
The EIC Tablet Feeder is a one-piece system which
operates on the flow-through principle to provide a
constant,controlled dosage of chlorine to the effluent of
wastewater treatment plants.
The entire flow of treated wastewater passes into the tablet
feeder through the inlet pipe.As the stream of water flows
past the feed tubes containing the SANURIL tablets,active FEED TUBE
chlorine is released into the wastewater by the dissolving
action of the water stream in contact with the tablets.
The chlorinated wastewater then discharges through the
outlet pipe into the line which leads to the receiving water. WATER
,,'OUTLET
Each tablet feeder is furnished with two feed tubes.The COLLAR
number of tubes to be filled with SANURIL tablets is TOP
determined by the average daily flow rate and the required COVE
residual chlorine content or dosage.
Installation
The EIC Tablet Feeder is designed for installation in any
properly operating treatment system having a maximum '�\ HOUSING
flow of 1,500 GPD.The tablet feeder should be located at a
point where it can receive the entire effluent discharged t TABLETS
from the plant. It is also recommended that a chlorine
contact tank be used.The tablet feeder can also be WATER
located to receive the treated wastewater as it exits from INLET
the filter bed.
Other Applications
Specifications
In addition to wastewater chlorination,the Model 200 Tablet
Feeder can also be used for dechlorination and the The tablet feeder is made of tough,corrosion resistant
chlorination of drinking water.For dechlorination,the Model rotomolded polyethylene.Compact and easy to handle,the
200 is used in conjunction with the EIC D-CHLORTM tablet feeder measures 21 inches long,8 inches wide and
