The Division has renewed the subject Certificate of Coverage for your facility.
Attached you will find the updated version of NPDES General Permit NCG500000, effective 10/1/2015. Discard any
previous versions of the General Permit and use this version until further notice.

Subject: renewal application for NCG500198
The Holston Environmental Services plant in Waynesville is among ca. 175 facilities covered by General Permit
NCG500000. That permit expired on 7/31/2015, but the Certificates of Coverage (CoCs) issued under it have been
administratively extended, effective 8/1/2015.
A draft of NCG500000 is being reviewed by EPA; once their review is complete, we will issue the renewed General
Permit and provide it to all the CoC holders, including Holston.
We did not send you a renewal notice because:
• Per 15A NCAC 02H.0127 (e): Dischargers covered by general permits need not submit new Notices of Intent or
renewal requests unless so directed by the Division. Our current position is that sites covered by General Permit
IgCG500000 will have their CoCs renewed automatically as long as all annual fees for the CoC have been paid.
PLEASE NOTE: If the design intake flow at your facility is 2 MGD or greater, you must submit the required documents
specified in the revised 316 (b) rules. If your design intake flow is less than 2 MGD, no 316 (B) documents are
required. For detailed information on the 316 (B) requirements, consult the EPA website:
http://water.epa.gov/lawsregsLIawsguidance/`cwa/316b/
Let me know if you need any additional information.

Dear Permittee:
The facility listed above is covered under NPDES General Permit NCG500000. NCG500000 expires
on July 31, 2007. Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.0105(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 NCG500000 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.

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.
If you have any questions regarding the permit coverage renewal procedures please contact the Asheville Regional
Office at 828-251-6208 or Delonda Alexander of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at [phone], ext. 584

Mr. Charles H. Taylor
Congress of the United States
House of Representatives
Waynesville District Office
515 South Haywood Street
Waynesville, NC 28786
RE: Town of Waynesville
Odor Complaint
Dear Mr. Taylor:
ti DEC 18 2000
I have been forwarded a copy of your letter dated 26 October 2000 to the Regional Administrator of EPA
Region IV alleging Holston Companies (Holston) is dumping "fuel waste" from several southeastern states
into Waynesville's waste treatment plant. Your description of this fuel disposal suggests violation of both
the Clean Water Act (CWA) as well as the Clean Air Act (CAA). As a twenty-five year affiliate of the
recycling and waste management community, we take these types of allegations very seriously. As I am
sure you are aware, companies in the waste management industry operate under a very stringent set of laws
enacted by Congress and enforced by the EPA and its authority states.
As a long time member of your district, we feel allegations of this extent would have at least warranted a
call or visit to our operations in Waynesville to determine if we were the cause of these odor complaints.
As of this writing, we have not been contacted by your office. In light of your lack of background
pertaining to Holston, let me take a moment to describe our company and the arena in which we operate.
Holston opened a small fuel oil distribution company in 1975 in the town of Waynesville and began an oil
recycling operation long before EPA even set standards for recycling. Also in the mid-70's, EPA enacted
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) which is the governing law for all waste
management activities. In the mid-80's, EPA recognized the need to move away from RCRA approved
land disposal methods (landfills, land farming, deep well injection) and the need to promote more
recycle/recovery methods.
EPA wisely identified used oil as a truly recyclable waste commodity and began promulgating regulations
to encourage the recycling of used oil. During the promulgation of these regulations, EPA petitioned the
regulated community for input into the proposed rule. The largest trade association representing the
industry is the National Oil Recyclers Association (NORA) which currently has over 200 member
companies representing the vast majority of the oil recycled in this country. Holston was one of the
founding members of NORA and I am the sitting president of the association in addition to serving on the
Board of Directors and the Executive Committee.

Mr. Taylor/Page 2
In addition, Holston employees a full time compliance officer, an 18 year veteran of the waste business and
a Certified Hazardous Materials Manager, who also serves in NORA on the Governmental Affairs
Committee as well as several working groups pertaining to both air and water issues. Also, under a
mandate set by the Clean Water Act, EPA is in the process of publishing the final version of the new rules
governing Centralized Wastewaster Treatment (CWT) facilities such as Holston. These rules place
additional restrictions and requirements on facilities which pretreat industrial nonhazardous waste waters.
Both Holston and the POTW will be greatly impacted by these new rules. Again, NORA was at the
forefront of the development of these rules over the past five years.
During their study and development of the proposed CWT rule, EPA petitioned a study of a representative
cross section of the regulated community. Several NORA members, including Holston, volunteered to
open their doors to EPA's research. The Holston facility in your district was selected by EPA as part of the
study. EPA's research consisted of building a database of the technical history of this industry as well as
representative sampling of on -going operations. EPA evaluated samples from Holston's Waynesville plant
plus reviewed the analytical history of the wastewater generated by the plant. EPA found our operation,
processes and subsequent data acceptable for their study. EPA would not have placed data from a non-
compliant facility in their report. Furthermore, would a non -compliant facility invite EPA to open their
records and sample at their facility?
Holston operates facilities in several states all with operating permits issued by EPA or the state authority.
All operations are in compliance with permit guidelines and current law. Our wastewater pretreatment
process in Waynesville operates under a permit issued by the POTW under the authority of the North
Carolina Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources Water Quality Division who in turn acts under the
full direction of EPA Region IV. Holston has been operating under this permit for approximately 20 years
with an exemplary history of compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit.
As previously stated, Holston is in the business of recycling used oil. Our operation is simple. We utilize
our own fleet of collection trucks to pick up used oil, which is delivered to our plants, where the
contaminants, solids and water, are removed and the oil sold as a recycled fuel oil. The by-products of this
reclamation are properly managed as waste and delivered to approved treatment/disposal facilities under
proper documentation. In the case of the water, the Waynesville POTW has offered its treatment services
for over 20 years with few problems. The driving factor in the acceptance of material into Holston is the
amount of sellable fuel oil that can be extracted. In short, every gallon of oil we separate from the water is
a gallon we can sell as opposed to a gallon we have to pay for disposal at the POTW. With this in mind,
your statement of "fuel disposal" at the POTW is commensurate to literally pouring money down the drain.
In reference to the odor detailed in your letter, it seems premature to associate the odor from a sewage
treatment plant to one non -sewage contributor. Based on our knowledge of the facts in this situation, we
are at somewhat of a loss as to how you ascertained your conclusion that we are the source of any odors
eminating from the Waynesville POTW. In fact, we would be interested in the details of your
investigation that lead you to determine Holston is the source of an offensive odor. The Waynesville
POTW treats 3.7 million gallons per day of wastewater; Holston contributes a maximum of 18,000 gallons
per under our permit. Is it technically prudent to assign a "noticeable" and "permeating" fuel odor that is
above and beyond the normal odor level associated with a sewage treatment plant to a facility who
contributes less than one-half of one percent to the total volume being treated?
If the wastewater going to the POTW is an odor issue, would it not be reasonable to conclude that the
majority of the oil being extracted and retained at the Holston facility would cause an odor issue at our
plant? History will show the Holston facility has not been the subject of odor complaints. The treatment
process at the Holston plant utilizes heat and agitation; both are mechanisms that promote the release of
volatiles including odors. These odors do not exist at the Holston plant. There has been no change in
operation at the Holston facility that may contribute to an odor.

Mr. Taylor/Page 3
Holston operates under an air permit from the NC Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources Division of
Air Quality which includes a "Control and Prohibition of Odorous Emissions" set under NC statute 15A
NCAC 2D .0522. Holston is and has operated in compliance with this statute.
As a 25-year member of the Waynesville business community, Holston has enjoyed a healthy relationship
with the city administrators as well as the community at large. As the last existing Significant Industrial
User (SIU) discharging under a permit at the Waynesville POTW, we value the long and mutually
beneficial partnership cultivated with the city in light of the fact most industry has left the valley. Holston is
a well established waste management recycling company that operates within the permits, rules and
regulations as set by law. We employ professionals skilled in the technical and legal aspects of running this
type of business and spend large amounts of budgetary dollars on laboratories and engineers for technical
expertise in order to maintain a compliant operation.
Also, as a member of your constituency, we request a meeting with you and your staff at our facility to
discuss your allegations. We would like to tour you through our facility and detail the operation. We know
this would be an invaluable part of your investigation on behalf of the complainants. We would also like to
discuss the details of your inquires with the POTW, the NC Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources
and the EPA as they pertain to Holston and the odor issue. We would be interested in the details of your
investigation that lead to Holston as the odor source. As a responsible member of the industrial sector and
an industrial good neighbor, Holston is willing, ready and able to address any and all offensive odors
experienced by the POTW as a direct result of conducting business with Holston. Your immediate
response is appreciated.
Sincerely,
P.

Dear Permittee:
The subject permit issued on 4/01/87 expires on 3/31/92. North Carolina
General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.1(c) requires that an application for permit renewal
be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date. As of the date of this
letter, the Division of Environmental Management had not received an application for
renewal.
If operation of a discharge or waste treatment facility is to occur after the
permit's expiration date, or if continuation of the permit is desired, it must not be
allowed to expire. A renewal request must be submitted no later than 180 days prior
to the permit's expiration date. Operation of the waste treatment works or
continuation of a discharge after the expiration date would constitute a violation of
NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per
day. If continuation of the permit is desired, failure to request renewal at least
180 days prior to expiration will result in a civil assessment of at least $300.00;
larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
A renewal application shall consist of a letter requesting permit renewal along
with the appropriate completed and signed application form (copy attached), submitted
in triplicate, referenced in Title 15 of the North Carolina Administrative Code (15
NCAC) Subchapter 2H .0105(a). Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 122 shall also submit a priority pollutant
analysis in accordance with Part 122.21. A processing fee must be submitted with the
application. In addition to penalties referenced above, a permit renewal request
received after the expiration date will be considered as a new application and will
require the higher application fee.

Attached is a copy of the fee schedule from 15 NCAC 2B.0105(b). The application
processing fee is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate,
listed in the first five categories of facilities. Presently, no facility is allowed
to submit a fee for the general permits listed in the schedule since the Environmental
Protection Agency has not approved the State of North Carolina's general permit. If
the facility covered by this permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative
description of the sludge management plan must be submitted with the application for
renewal.
The Environmental Management Commission adopted revised rules on October 1, 1990
(attached), requiring the payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities. You
will be billed separately for that fee (if applicable), after your permit is approved.
The letter requesting renewal, the completed Permit application, and appropriate
fee should be sent to:
Permits and Engineering Unit
Division of Environmental Management
Post Office Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
The check should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources which may be abbreviated as DEHNR.
If there are questions or a need for additional information regarding the permit
renewal procedure, please contact me at telephone number [phone].

General Permit NCG500000

Haywood County
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 NC0040622. 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.

responsible for the reissuance of the general permit and at such time, you will be notified of the procedures to
follow to continue coverage under the reissued permit. Unless you fail to follow the procedures for continued
coverage, you will continue to be permitted to discharge in accordance with the attached general permit.
The issuance of this Certificate of Coverage does not preclude the P the 1itteeEnvironmental from complying Division of Envt 1 Management
any and all
statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be required by
or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any Federal or

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.

The daily daily concentration values). concentration value is equal to the concentration
of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
of a composite sample or in the case
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
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly
samples collected during a
Average" under "Other Units in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fand/oralmeasured during coliforms calendar
the sum
of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled
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 now 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 "Other Other Units" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform acteria, is the sum of
during a calendar
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured 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.

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 now or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of amples
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 now 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 myy be
collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal
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 betaken 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 0).
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.

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.
