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.

Page 7 of 12 Pages General Permit NCG550000 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 affinnative 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: (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 Page 8 of 12 Pages General Permit NCG550000 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 pennittee 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 pennittee 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 taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period which 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. Flow Measurements Appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. The devices shall be installed, calibrated and maintained to ensure that the accuracy of the measurements are consistent with the accepted capability of that type of device. Devices selected shall be capable of measuring flows with a maximum deviation of less than 10%from the true discharge rates throughout the range of expected discharge volumes. 3. 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 detennined 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. 4. 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 pen-nit 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.

The property owner/permittee, Mr. Stephen Yaw,could not be reached and was not present during this inspection. Inspections were concurrently conducted at the neighboring properties at 220 and 224 Kirk Way. The chlorinator and chlorine contact chamber for this system appear to be located behind the house to the north (220 Kirk Way). No chlorine tablets were present in the chlorinator and excessive solids had built up in the chlorine contact chamber. The right of way to the outfall was overgrown with vegetation and the effluent pipe could not be located. From the layout of observable system components, it is possible that this system shares an outfall with either one or both of the neighboring systems. Because records were not reviewed during this inspection, additional information is being requested in the cover letter to this report.

The expiration date of the permit is on the first page of the General Permit. This General Permit expires on July 31, 2012. Approximately 180 days prior the expiration of the General Permit, you will receive a renewal notice in the mail from the Division. Key Permit Requirements To Remember • 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 state certified laboratory should be contacted to perform the analytical monitoring. A list of North Carolina certified laboratories can be obtained by looking in the telephone directory yellow pages under"laboratories—testing" or by calling the Division of Water Quality Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-4500. • All samples should be collected before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other wastestream, water or substance. (Part II, Section DA) • 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 II, Section E:3) e • 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) Does a North Carolina state certified lab need to be used to analyze samples? Yes, a North Carolina certified lab must be used to perform analytical monitoring. The only exception to this rule is when measuring the value of pH. These pH values should be measured in the field because they may change considerably between when the sample is pulled and it is analyzed at the laboratory. Operation and Maintenance In order to protect water quality and to ensure proper operation of domestic wastewater systems, the following measures should be • 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 dechiorinator is installed, replace tablets whenever necessary. Page# 2 s Permit: NCG551216 Owner-Facility: 218 Kirk Way Inspection Date: 03/18/2011 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation 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 fats, oils or grease (FOGs) 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. • Keep the area free of heavy vegetation, brush, bushes or trees, etc. Maintain grass over the area. 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 disinfection. There will usually be a white PVC pipe sticking up from the chlorinator/dechlorinator where the tablets should be inserted. • Ensure that the chlorine tablets are making contact with the wastewater. Moisture can cause them to swell up and clog the feeder tube. If this happens, shake the feeder tube or use a'pipe or rod to dislodge the swollen tablets. • Tablets can be obtained from most plumbing or chemical supply stores. Make sure that the tablets are certified for wastewater use. Chlorine tablets are NOT the same type of chlorine used for swimming pools. Some of the signs that your septic system may be having problems are: • 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. • 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. Right-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. 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.

Thorpe,Ph.D.,Acting Director NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF Division of Water Quality - ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RE50URCE5 WATER QUALITY SECTION August 23 , 2002 MEMORANDUM TO: Mack Wiggins FROM: Roy Davis SUBJECT: Proposed Discharging Sewerage System Single Family Residence Lots Number 34 Spencer' s Place Applications Number NCG551216 Buncombe County On June 28, 2002 I inspected property belonging to Edward Kirkpatrick in the Spencer' s Place development in Buncombe County. The lot (lot number 24) is bottom land having access to Pole Creek. The Buncombe County Health Department had previously determined the lot unsuitable for a septic tank-drain field sewerage system . For the record I will go ahead and say that the lot was turned down by the Buncombe County Health Department for conventional septic tank-drain field systems because of lack of available space and soil wetness . The possible receiving stream is Pole Creek which bears a Class C classification and is located in the French Broad River Basin. At the possible point of treated wastewater discharge the drainage area of Pole Creek is several square miles . 59 Woodt'm Place,Asheville North Carolina 28801 Telephone 828-251-6208 FAX 828-251-6452 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50%recycled/10%post-consumer paper Mack Wiggins Memorandum August 23 , 2002 Pate Two - No public sewer is reasonably available to this property; the nearest such sewer is approximately one mile away. The proposed point of discharge is located as follows : Latitude : 35 degrees, 32 minutes, 55 . 66 seconds North Longitude: 82 degrees, 41 minutes, 40 . 91 seconds West It is my recommendation that, following plans review and a finding that the requirements of the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission are met, a Certificate of Coverage for the requested single family residence discharging sewerage system be issued. Attached for your use is a copy of a portion of the Enka quadrangle showing the location of the property under discussion. I am only a telephone call away should I be able to help you in this matter.
