PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority: The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. Division: The Division of Water Quality in the North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources.
3. EMC: North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Permittee: The entity who obtains coverage under this General Permit by subsequent issuance
of a"Certificate of Coverage" by the Division.
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. 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.
10.Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.
11. 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.
Page 3 of 11 Pages
General Permit NCG550000
12. 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.
13. 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.

Re: Georgia Sales Property Sand Filter
Project No. 79597-148-03
Dear Mr. Evans:
Enclosed please find three (3) copies of the revised plan of the subject project. Revisions are
made based upon your comments during our telephone conversation on July 15, 1998.
1) A note has been added to state that the setback requirement for a residential septic
system from a water supply well is 50 feet.
2) Clean outs have been shown in the plan view between the house and the septic system
and on the discharge line.
3) A dechlorination system has been added to the project.
4) Our plans indicate that the slope of the filter distribution lines and the filtrate collection
lines shall be installed at a slope of 0.25%.
5) We have revised our plan to indicate that all system pipes shall be 4" diameter.
6) A note has been added that flow equalization devices shall be included in the distribution
boxes.
7) It is our opinion that regular bends along with 4" clean outs are more than adequate to
provide for system maintenance.
8) 1 have also enclosed correspondence from the Buncombe County Health Center
regarding soil evaluations conducted at the subject site.
I trust that these revisions are sufficient for you to complete your review. Please call if you have
any further questions.
Very truly yours,

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
.The permit application did not reflect the correct stream classification for
Robinson Creek which is "C-Trout". As result, a tablet type dechlorination
unit (sodium sulfite) will need to be added prior to the effluent cascade
(rip-rap) . otherwise, review shows that plans and specifications submitted
for this project are acceptable. Siting conditions consistent with DW
requirements. Proposed discharge should have minimal impact on surface
waters.
It is recommended that the Certificate of Coverage be issued as early as
possible together with an Authorization to Co Atruct. The Authorization to
Construct should include the requirement to ro ect a tro t water
designation by the addition of a tabl hlor at'o unit.

Subject: RE: Changes to Permit NCG550975
Attachments: NCG550975 Changes.pdf
The amended site drawing with the current placement of the chlorinator and de-chlorinator indicates the
treatment system requirements are met. The last inspection found the system to be compliant. Since it was
discovered that the effluent line is on another property and easement needs to be obtained to avoid future issues
and the ownership change form will need to be filled out and submitted.
Rich,
This email should suffice for what your client needs, I expect to be here until 5 today if you need to contact me.
I have not done an inspection of the property and will not be sending a formal letter. The last inspection(12-11-
2014) holds; it was compliant.Andrew Moore did that inspection and I believe your client has been in contact
with him already. I can send that inspection letter if need be. The system is permitted under the subject coverage
number(NCG550975).
I have received an edited site plan of the changes made to the system today that moved the tablet de-chlorinator
back onto Ms. Sales property and will make note of this in the file. I did comment above that the effluent line
will need to be surveyed and an easement recorded as it remains on the other property.This will avoid issues in
the future if work/access is needed on that line. Since it sounds like the surveyor is coming out today, can you
let them know this is needed.

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The facility appears to be well-maintained. However, at the time of the inspection there were no
chlorination tablets present in the tubes, nor were there dechlorination tablets present in the
dechlorination tubes. The permittee was unaware that dechlorination tablets should be used in addition
to the chlorination tablets. Both types of tablets must be present for the system to effectively treat the
wastewater prior to discharge. I recommend having the septic tank checked as the system has been
operational for approximately 8 years and the septic tank has not yet been pumped.
