General Permit NCG550000
Formerly NPDES Permit NCO071455
Burke County
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
NC0071455. This Certificate of Coverage is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina and the US
Enviroru-nental 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,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
Pern-dttee 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.

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

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.

Commission.
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).

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, 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) .

A. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS
1. Change in Discharge
All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms
and conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant
identified in this permit more frequently than or at a level in
excess of that authorized shall constitute a violation of the
permit. Any anticipated facility expansions, production increases,
or process modifications which will result in new, different, or
increased discharges of pollutants must be reported by submission
of a new NPDES application or, if such changes will not violate the
effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to the DEM
of such changes. Following such notice, the permit may be modified
to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited.

each such diversion or bypass.
5. Removed Substances

Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Dear Pennittee:
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) database records show that you currently
own/operate a single family residence (SFR) wastewater treatment and disposal system. In
the next 30 days, DWR personnel from the Asheville Regional Office (ARO) need to
conduct a comprehensive review of your system with you in order to verify that your system
is operating properly and to determine the compliance status of the system pursuant to your
NCG550457 permit. We anticipate such a review would take approximately one to two
hours,provided that all needed documentation and data is readily available at the time of the
site visit.
Due to the difficulties involved with catching owners at home during the workday,we would
like to pre-schedule this site visit with you to ensure we can meet and complete the required
system review as expeditiously as possible. In order to facilitate this process, we ask that
you contact Mikal Willmer, of our office, at 828-296-4686 or by email at
[e-mail],between the hours of 8AM and 4PM, Monday through Friday.
To prepare for the inspection, we recommend you review your permit to ensure you are
maintaining and monitoring your system as required. Also, in the interest of efficiency,
please have the following documentation and information available during the site visit:
1. Permit/Certificate of Coverage: Issued by DWR, you should have received this
via regular U.S. Postal Service mail. It can also be found at

pennits/waste'water-branch/npdes-wastewater/general-permits. Current general
permit expires July 3 I't,2018.
2. A Schematic of the Treatment/Disposal System: Please have available all
schematics or other technical drawings and/or design specifications that show the
complete and/or partial layout of your treatment/disposal system.
