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 Iimitation 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.

Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities [or similar systems] installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. 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. B"assing 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 permitter 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 affirmative 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: Page 7 of 11 Pages n n sated 11;o g 02ed 'yloq xo 'sma6 b ueyi axom lou 30 luawuospdun Sq xo 'uopeprn 3o Sep xad OOOOZ$uarp axow loss;o am;z sT;uawgsmnd 'uopalnu0o luanbasgns xo puwas s ;o asuo ay; ul 'gloq Sq xo 'uopaloTn xad sxeaS om; uey; atom IOU xo3 luamuosudun Sq xo 'uoyslo[n xad 000'01$ uegl atom lou;o aug e Sq pagsTund aq 'uopoTnuoo uodn 'llegs ITuuad siy; xapun paure;umm aq o; paxmbax poglam xo catnap 2m104TUOM Ssse `a;exnoosm sxapuax Sl2mmouxl xo 'glTm sxaduis; 'sar�sle; oqm uosxad due ;sql sapinoxd Ioy xa;sM uea10 aqy ulxa ucey�S saRlsuad 'E posn aq isnm poipam panoxdde (lanai OUT odax pue uopoa;ap algtssod;samol ag;glTm poipam) and;Tsuas ;sow ay; umg; 's;uamaxrnbax a2xeyomp limxad molaq slanal 2upxodax pue uopoalap mnmcuiw 2uTnaTgas ;o algedeo pammxalap axs spoglam panoxdde ou;1 'ampaooxd aq;;o larval 2upxodax xamol xo uopoalap mnmluTm acp o; umop papodax aq ;snm palexaua2 step Ile pue sluamannbax a2xegosip ITmxad agi molaq axe leg; slanal 2mlxodax pue uopaa;ap u n nnum ampoxd Isnm samp000xd lsol He yTwxad sTq; Sq paxrnbax 2uuo;Tuuw ay; ;o IualuT agi laam ql, 'p£I &10 Ob uopeln2aH puss 'papuaury se 'joy loxluoO uoTlnllod xalsM lexapad ay;;o 'b;£1 DSn ££ '(2(b0£ uopaaS of Iuensxnd pagsygnd suogsln2ax o;pue 'slay 2xv odaH f4TTena xiy pus xa;sM agi ' Ws •;a Eg'SIZ-Ebi SOON o;;uensmd pagsilgnd suopsln2ax DDQ3 agi o; mxgmoa Ileys s;uulnTlod ;o STsSleus OLD so; saxnpaooxd ;say samp000xd;say 'Z dlixocpny 2mnssl llmxad agl;o lenoxdde agi psse of uoT;eoT3pou ;nocplm pa2uego aq ;ou hugs s;uTod 2upopuop,] 'aauslsgns xo 'xa;em;o Spoq j 'umaxlsaisem xacpo Sue Sq po;nllp st xo suio(luanp3a aqi axo;aq 'pal;Taads ascmxatl;o ssalun 'pus nmxad SIM ui pagToads sluiod 8upolmom aq; ;z ucopg aq hails saldmes Ild sluasaxdax aldures oq; pouad acp JOAO a2MY40STp ag; ;o apslxalaexego sl ;sy; assa; pue Sep e uo pa;oalloo aq negs SITep uecp ssal Souanbax; a ;e pa;oaTloo soldmeS 'a2mgosTp palnmxad ag m i ;o am;eu pue anion ay; ;o apsualosxega aq hugs 'uiaxaq paxrnbax ss 'u@apg sluamaxnseam pus paloalToa sold=S ul1 u s a�npe;uasa 'I SaU033H QNV Ommoillmom 'Q HOIZO33 'Iuanp;a paleaxl SialenbapsuT;o uopssa;ax xo sxolexam2 Sqpuels 'saamos xamod a;essxa;le 3o sueam Sq xaglTa samlm; xamod Teop;oala 2utmp sa;sem pa;eaxl Slalenbapuul xo pa;sax;un ;o 02xeyosTp ay; luanaxd of 'SlTTlgailod bZ10' 'HZ xaidayognS 'apaO ant;exlstsscmpy eullomD xllxoN 'ySl P14U.

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 Colifrmx 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 detertnined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. 8.

Byron Smith was also present for the inspection. The system appeared well maintained and functional. Byron said the septic had been pumped about 1.5 years ago and he planned to have it pumped again soon. Nine people are currently using the system and so frequent septic pumping is recommended. Byron said whenever they get the septic checked,the submersible pumps and pump alarms are also checked for operation. I tested the audio/visual alarm for the pump station and it was functional. There were chlorine tablets in one of the chlorinator tubes. The effluent pipe was not discharging and Byron said he has never seen it discharge.

(Part Il, 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) • 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 taken: • 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 dechlorinator is installed, replace tablets whenever necessary. Page# 3 �I Permit: NCG551061 Owner-Facility: Silver Creek Apartments Inspection Date: 0311W2011 Inspectlon 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 drainfeld 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 /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 drainfeld. • Sewage discharging over the ground or in nearby ditches or woods. If yousee 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.
