Dear Permittee:
The facility listed above is covered under NPDES General Permit NCG5OOOOO. NCG5000OO expires
on July 31, 2007. Federal(40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina(15A NCAC 2H.O105(e))regulations require
that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. If
you have already mailed a renewal request,you may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement,the Division must receive a renewal request postmarked no later than
February 1, 2007. Failure to request renewal by this date may result in a civil penalty assessment. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. This renewal notice is being sent
well in advance of the due date so that you have adequate time to prepare your application.
If any discharge previously covered under NCG5OOOOO will occur after July 31,2007,the
CoC must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1;unpermitted discharges of wastewater may be assessed civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per day.
If all discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this CoC [or if you have other
questions],contact me at the telephone number or e-mail address listed below.

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for wastewater discharge under General Permit NCG500000. This permit expires
on July 31,2002. Division of Water Quality(DWQ)staff is in the process of rewriting this permit with a
scheduled reissue in the summer of 2002. Once the permit is reissued,your facility would be eligible for continued
coverage under the reissued permit.
In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit,you must apply to the DWQ for renewal of
your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier,we are informing you in advance that your permit
coverage will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a general permit coverage renewal application form. This
will serve as your application for renewal of your permit coverage. The application must be completed and
returned with the required information by February 01,2002 in order to assure continued coverage under the
general permit.There is no renewal fee associated with this process. Your facility will be invoiced for the annual
permit fee at a later date.
Failure to request renewal within this time period may result in a civil assessment of at least$250.00. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of wastewater from your facility
without coverage under a valid wastewater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and
could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to$10,000 per day.
If the subject wastewater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated,please complete the enclosed
rescission request form. Mailing instructions are listed on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when the
rescission process has been completed.

Part II
Page 1 of 14
PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health
and Natural Resources.
3. EMS
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or"the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended,
33 USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass 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. It is therefore,an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during the calendar week(Sunday- Saturday)on which daily
discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found
by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this
sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as
"Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged
during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight
of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is
identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured,divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such year. It is,therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average"
in Part I of the permit.
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration,"other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is 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 is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average
monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for
samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average"under"Other Units" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum
of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
week(Sunday/Saturday)on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided
by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week
(arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is
equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that
calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric
mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is
identified as "Weekly Average" under"Other Units" in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is 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" under"Other Units" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average
yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples
collected during a calendar year.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen)is the minimum allowable
amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge
averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a
calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the
discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.

Part H
Page 3 of 14
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a
calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I
of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods:January through
March,April through June, July through September,and October through December.
7. _Qther Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows
recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of
sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility
which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the
facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when
there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the
time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing
the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be
determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval
between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily
flow at the treatment system,or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional
to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be
no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall
be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a
detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be
collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in
number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in
no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6)
hours nor the number of samples less than four(4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.

Part II
Page 4 of 14
b. 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 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: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective
flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as 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
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant
to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1)of the Clean Water
Act.
SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS

3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defen e
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
condition of this permit.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a
treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or
established or operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means 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.
b. 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 c. and d. of
this section.
c. 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).
d. 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;

Part II
Page 9 of 14
(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 c. 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 d. (1) of this section.
5. 11pseta
a. Definition.
"Upset " means 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.
b. 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 c. 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.
c. 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:
(a) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s)of the upset;
(b) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(c) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of
this permit.
(d) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2.of
this permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an
upset has the burden of proof.

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.

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. NCG500000 which shall void NPDES
Permit NC0005738. 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, EA. 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. 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.

Dear Mr. Moss:
Subject: Review of Monitor Well Analytical Data
Industrial Site Environmental Assessment
Dixie Road & Industrial Drive
Burke County, North Carolina
This letter is to acknowledge receipt on December 5, 1991
of analytical data from the subject site assessment.
The data included analyses from two surface water samples
and groundwater samples from monitor wells 2 and 4 (MW-2, .
MW-4) . Review of the data shows that no semivolatile or
volatile compounds were detected by EPA Methods 624 and 625 .
However, it is noted that the tests were not performed, as
proposed, by EPA Methods 601 and 602 which have lower
detection limits .
If additional groundwater monitoring occurs, please
forward the analytical data to me for review. You may contact
me at ( 704) 251 -6208 if you have any comments or questions .
Sincerely,
Laura Kay Dechant
