Page 1 of 16 i f PART H STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS SECTION A. 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. Permittee Used herein means the entity who obtains coverage under this general permit by subsequent issuance of a "Certificate of Coverage" by the Division of Environmental Management. 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. 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. Page 2 of 16 i 7. 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 Units"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 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"under"Other Units'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. 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 Fart 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. Page 3 of 16 1 8. 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 be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. 9. Types of Samples 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. 10. 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). Page 4 of 16 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. 11. Calendar Day 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 be 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. 13. 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.

I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fines and imprisonment for knowing violations." 14. Permit Actions This permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated for cause. The filing of a request by the permittee for a permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination, or a notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any permit condition. 15. Permit Modification,Revocation and Reissuance, or Termination The issuance of this permit does not prohibit the permit issuing authority from reopening and modifying the permit, revoking and reissuing the permit, or terminating the permit as allowed by the laws, rules, and regulations contained in Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 122 and 123; Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H .0100; and North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 et. al. SECTION C. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE. OF POLLUTION CONTRQL5 1. Certified Operator Pursuant to Chapter 9OA-44 of North Carolina General Statutes, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities. The permittee shall notify the Division's Operator Training and Certification Unit within thirty days of any change in the ORC status. Page 8 of 16 2. 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 which are 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 condition of this permit. 4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities a. Definitions (1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. (2) "Severe property damage" means 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. b. 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 c. and d. of this section. c. 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). d. 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 Page 9 of 16 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 c. 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 d. (1) of this section. 5. Upsets a. Definition. "Upset " means 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. 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. 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) (B) of this permit. (4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this permit. d. 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 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. Page 10 of 16 i The permittee 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 permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM 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 MONMRnyr,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. Once-through condenser cooling water flow which is monitored by pump logs, or pump hour meters as specified in Part I of this permit and based on the manufacturer's pump curves shall not be subject to this requirement. 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 determined 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 permit 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. Page 11 of 16 5. Records Retention The permittee shall retain records.of all monitoring information, including all calibration and maintenance records and all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation, copies of all reports required by this permit, for a period of at least 3 years from the date of the sample, measurement, report or application. This period may be extended by request of the Director at any time. 6. Recording Results For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of this permit, the permittee shall record the following information: a. The date, exact place, and time of sampling or measurements; b. The individual(s)who performed the sampling or measurements; c. The date(s) analyses were performed; d. The individual(s)who performed the analyses; e. The analytical techniques or methods used; and f. The results of such analyses. 7. Inspection and Entry The permittee shall allow the Director, or an authorized representative, upon the presentation of credentials and other documents as may be required bylaw, to; a. Enter upon the permittee's premises where a regulated facility or activity is located or conducted,or where records must be kept under the conditions of this permit; b. Have access to and copy, at reasonable times, any records that must be kept under the conditions of this permit; c. Inspect at reasonable times any facilities, equipment (including monitoring and control equipment), practices, or operations regulated or required under this permit; and d. Sample or monitor at reasonable times, for the purposes of assuring permit compliance or as otherwise authorized by the Clean Water Act, any substances or parameters at any location. SECTION E. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS 1. Change in Discharge All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified in this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit. Page 12 of 16 2. Planned Changes The permittee shall give notice to the Director as soon as possible of any planned physical alterations or additions to the permitted facility. Notice is required only when: a. The alteration or addition to a permitted facility may meet one of the criteria for determining whether a facility is a new source in 40 CFR Part 122.29(b);or b. The alteration or addition could significantly change the nature or increase the quantity of pollutants discharged. This notification applies to pollutants which are subject neither to effluent limitations in the permit,nor to notification requirements under 40 CFR Part 122.42(a)(1). S. Anticipated Noncompliance The permittee shall give advance notice to the Director of any planned changes in the permitted facility or activity which may result in noncompliance with permit requirements. 4. Transfers This permit is not transferable to any person except after notice to and approval by the Director. The Director may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit and incorporating such other requirements as may be necessary under the Clean Water Act. 5. Twenty-four Hour Reporting a. The permittee shall report to the central office or the appropriate regional office any noncompliance which may endanger health or the environment. Any information shall be provided orally within 24 hours from the time the permittee became aware of the circumstances. A written submission shall-also be providedwithin 5 days of the time the permittee becomes aware of the circumstances. The written submission shall contain a description of the noncompliance, and its cause; the period of noncompliance, including exact dates and times, and if the noncompliance has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent reoccurrence of the noncompliance. b. The following shall be included as information which must,be reported within 24 hours under this paragraph. (A) Any unanticipated bypass which exceeds any effluent limitation in the permit. (B) Any upset which exceeds any effluent limitation in the permit. (C) Violation of a maximum daily discharge limitation for any of the pollutants listed by the Director in the permit to be reported within 24 hours. c. The Director may waive the written report on a case-by-case basis for reports under paragraph b. above of this condition if the oral report has been received within 24 hours. Page 13 of 16 6.

In your letter of support dated December 9, 1991, you appealed to the Division to reconsider your case and asked that the Division rescind your civil penalty assessment and return your check. In order for the Director of Environmental Management to consider your request for remission, you must sign a waiver of rights to an administrative hearing form (a copy is attached) and to submit no later than January 17, 1992 to: DEHNR/DEM Attn: Robert Farmer P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 Once your waiver form has been received, your case will be heard by the Director at a regularly scheduled enforcement conference. You will not be present at this conference at which time a decision will be made to either uphold, remit in part, or remit in full the civil penalty. You will be notified of the Director's decision by certified mail. Should the decision be unacceptable, you will then have the option to present your case before the Environmental Management Commission on.Civil Penalty Remissions.

The Division of Environmental Management does not maintain a list of contract operators for wastewater treatment facilities. If you desire a list of certified operators you should contact Mr. Mike Outlaw at 919-733-0026 and request a listing of certified operators for Haywood and surrounding counties. It may be helpful to search the yellow pages of the phone book for this type of service and/or contact any local municipality in your area in efforts to obtain a certified operator to run your wastewater treatment facility. Although the Division is uanble to endorse a certified operator, you may wish to contact Mr. Forrest Westall, Water Quality Supervisor, in our Asheville Regional Office at 704/251-6208 to obtain information on current operators in the area. Your check in the amount of$250.00 is being returned and in no way indicates rescission of the penalty. As indicated above , you must complete and submit the attached form and you will be notified of the Director's decision. If there is a need for any additional information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact Robert Farmer at(919)733-5083.
