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 August 1, 2002. 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 dike the fee you annually pay the DMV for the sticker on your vehicle's license plate.

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 NC0057631. 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 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 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.

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. EMC 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 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. { Part II Page 2 of 14 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 Limits" 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 Limits" 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 Limits" 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. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. 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. 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. ' Part II Page 3 of 14 7. Other 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 no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. 8. Types of Saml2les 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. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the receiving waters. 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. 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). Part Id Page 4 of 14 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 Dav 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 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 1.

The inspector(Mika)Willmer)was unable to contact and meet onsite with the current owner, David Baird. Mr. Baird is not the listed permittee.A name/ownership change form should be submitted to Raleigh. The property appeared to be mowed within the past couple of weeks.Located the septic tank covers and chlorine contact chamber for the system. Could not lift concrete lids to determine if routine maintenance was being conducted.Septic tank maintenance records were not available at the time of the inspection. A path was cleared down to Laurel Creek and the effluent pipes were visible and accessible.The Inspector was able to locate what appeared to be two pvc effluent pipes.The top pipe was clogged with sediment.The bottom pipe had discharge, but this may have been from ground water infiltration.

The reported flow value was 0 . 004 MGD (4000 gallons d per day) ; Laurel Creek Mobile Home Park' s flow limitation is 1000 gallons per day. Each day on which the flow exceeds 1000 gallons per day constitutes a permit violation for which penalties could be assessed. Comments concerning ` remedying the problem are offered below. Historical observations by Division of Water Quality Staff suggest that ground water may be entering the sandfilter and appearing as effluent flow. If ground water 1, is entering the sandfilter, the best solution to the problem of high flows would be reconstruction of the filter. As an s alternative to reconstruction, flow could be determined by some means other that estimation of the volume flowing from ._ the discharge pipe . Water meter readings from the units connected to the discharge system could be summed to determine the wastewater flow for the discharge type system. s, Additionally, please be aware that submission of a monthly monitoring report is not required, as a result of Laurel Creek Mobile Home Park currently being covered by a - general permit .

Davis, Supervisor NCDEHNR Division of Water Quality 59 Woodfin Place Asheville,NC 28801 Dear Mr. Davis: Thank you for your letter dated December 31, 1997 regarding a compliance sampling inspection of Laurel Creek MHO'(NC-G550000)-conducted by Mr.James Reid of your office. This letter is to advise your office that actions have been taken to reduce the effluent fecal coliform count. A sample-taken-on January 9,499-8 showed a fecal-coliform-count-of-less than one (1) colony per 100 ml. Since your office by letter is issuing a Notice of Violation,I believe a detailed explanation is in-order. As you know,Laurel Creek MHP was issued General Permit No. NCG550000 effective August.1, 1997. This permit requires annual monitoring only. In addition,fecal coliform became a requirement—a parameter that was not a part of the former permit (NC00576�1). Unfamiliar with the-condition-s-of the new permit,I spoke to Mr. Reid for clarification. Monitoring requirements were not only changed,but also an approved chlorination treatment unit was in the process-of-being-engineered-aid installed. I performed some baseline monitoring to identify the existing conditions. The data generated was reported-by DMA and-also-discussed with Mr. Reid. I-also told Mr.Reid that I would assist the owner,Mr. David Baird, in adjusting dosage rates, and if necessary make minor xnodificatlons to the unit-to-the best of-my-ability. Mr- Reid told One that he had also tried to adjust the feed rate of the mechanism installed at Laurel Creek MHP. Based on c�-ent-conditions,the troubleshootting-measures appear to be successful. Continued attention to the situation should provide future compliance conditions. I thank Mr. Reid far-his-advice-and assistance. Although your letter dated December 31, 1997 indicates a violation,I hope you will consider this-response as verification that the-problem has been-identifreA-and-corrective action taken. I also hope that no monetary punishment is sought in this matter. If I can be of further.assistance,-please let me-know. rSincerelg cc: David L.

Baird Laurel Creek Mobile Home Park 1950 Duckworth Avenue Morganton, North Carolina 28655-7417 Subject: , Notice of Violation / Compliance Sampling Inspection V Laurel Creek Mobile Home Park Wastewater Treatment Plant NPDES Permit Number NCG550000 u e County Dear Mr. Baird: Samples of the discharge from the wastewater treatment system (subsurface sand filter) serving Laurel Creek Mobile Home Park revealed that the system violated its fecal coliform limitation. The Division of Water Quality collected samples on October 23, 1997; all results are detailed in the attached report. The high fecal coliform count was due to lack of chlorine. Even though one of the tubes in the chlorinator contained tablets, there was no chlorine measurable in the discharge. Since the tube was full and no chlorine existed in the effluent, there was insufficient contact between the effluent stream and tablets in the tube. Insufficient contact could have occurred in at least two ways . Tablets in the tube could have "penciled out" or the liquid depth in the chlorinator may have been low. "Penciling out" is the condition in which tablets dissolve leaving a configuration resembling a sharpened pencil . Such configuration causes diminished surface area between chlorine tablets and the waste stream. "Penciling out" can be eliminated by routinely rotating the table-containing tube (s) rapidly back and forth. A shallow liquid level in the chlorinator may also result in low chlorine concentrations . If necessary, a narrow effluent weir plate (supplied with the chlorinator) can be used to achieve good contact Interchan a Building, Ay 9 S- w 4 Voice 704-251-6208 FAX 704-251-6452 59 Woodfin Place, Nvf An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Asheville,North Carolina 28801 50%recycled/10%post-consumer paper Mr. David L.

On or before December 1, 1997, please advise this office of what actions have been taken or are planned to reduce Laurel Creek Mobile Home Park' s effluent fecal coliform count.

Sample results are listed in the attached report . With exception of the fecal coliform result, data indicated that the discharge complied with the limitations contained in the mobile home park' s wastewater permit . General Permit Number 550000 became effective for Laurel Creek Mobile Home Park on January 1, 1994 . Permit Number 550000 contains a fecal coliform limitation. Laurel Creek' s former individual Permit Number NC0057631 did not contain a fecal coliform limitation. In order to meet the fecal coliform limitation (200 monthly average, 400 daily maximum) in Laurel Creek Mobile Home Park' s current permit, disinfection apparatus must be installed. Simple tablet type chlorinators are often used in situations such as Laurel Creek Mobile Home Park' s . Failure to install disinfection apparatus, may result in enforcement proceedings against Laurel Creek Mobile Home Park. On or before March 17, 1997, please advise this office regarding what actions have been taken or are planned to meet the fecal coliform limitation contained in the mobile home park's discharge permit.
