Sampling Tips
_. -qqqqq
A typical annual sampling event, by a contractor, will probably cost •- $150 per year.
That cost includes:
-A trip charge to and from the single family residence and laboratory analyzing the samples.
Proper collection, preservation and analysis by a NC Certified Laboratory for:
BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) — your daily maximum limit is 45 mg/I,
TSS (Total Suspended Solids) - your daily maximum limit is 45 mg/I,
Fecal Coliform - your daily maximum limit is 400 colonies/100 ml,
Field analysis of TRC (Total Residual Chlorine) performed on -site (within 15.minutes), with
low level monitoring equipment which measures ug/I (micrograms per liter). Your TRC
limit is 17 ug/l. A mailed copy of the sample analysis reportand laboratory quality
control information.
(Keep the laboratory results for 3 years and show them to thei DWQ inspector.)
In order to keep costs to a minimum:
Make sure that the discharge pipe can be accessed. Keep the area clear of debris and
vegetation. Make sure that the pipe itself and the cascade aerator does not have algae,
vegetation, or debris obstructing the discharge to the creek.
Make sure that the system discharges. If it doesn't discharge, then determine why and
remedy. At the time of sampling, it may be necessary to make the system discharge by
using water doing laundry or dishes or bathing. If you are not at home and there is no
discharge when the sampling event is scheduled to take place, another trip charge will
be added, until a sample can be collected.
Make sure that the system has a sufficient supply of chlorine tablets to disinfect the
wastewater. This will be reflected in the fecal coliform laboratory results. If the
wastewater is not properly disinfected, the system will be considered non -compliant and
will result in a Notice of Violation.
Make sure that the system has a_sufficient,supply of dechlorination tablets. This will be
reflected in the Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) results. The TRC limit is 17 ug/I
(micrograms per liter). The results will be reported to the lowest detection limit that the
field equipment is annually certified for. For example: 17 ug(.I may be reported as < 20
ug/I. Due to the sensitive and unstable nature of this test, any result that is measured
and less than 51 ug/I will be considered compliant with permit limits.

consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: 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
(3) Variable time/constant volume: 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
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a
constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be
used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply:

monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be
representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA),"as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
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.
Calendar Day
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.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and .
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuots sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: 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
(3) Variable time/constant volume: 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
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or
Version 1110912011.1

(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a
constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be
used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply:
Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
9 Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab
samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
Pernuttees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling
period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs 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.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also
"Composite Sample," above.)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations
prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that
requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWR or "the, Division"

Dear Permittee:
You are receiving this notice because you currently own a property covered under the subject
General Permit for the discharge of domestic wastewater. 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

I last visited the Betty Miller residence on January 28,
1999. Ms. Miller and an extended family live in a thirty-
three year old house on an extremely restricted lot in
Henderson County. The existing septic tank -drain field
failed and has been repaired until we have reached the point
that no further repairs are possible. The site is so
restricted that it would be my guess that the drain field
will have to be removed to make space for a subsurface sand
filter.
I am told that no adjacent land is available for purposes
constructing a replacement drain field. I know for a fact
that public sewer is not available. I am told and my own
observations confirm that the cost of the new system will
a tremendous financial burden for Ms. Miller.

Subject: NPDES Wastewater Permit Coverage Renewal
Miller Betty -residence
COC Number NCG551029
Henderson County
Dear Permittee:
Your residence or facility is currently covered for wastewater discharge under General Permit NCG550000. This
permit expires on July 31, 2002. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) staff is in the process of rewriting this permit
with a scheduled reissue in the summer of 2002. Once the permit is reissued, your residence or facility would be
eligible for continued coverage under the reissued permit.
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 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.
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
residence or 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 Bill Mills of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at [phone], ext. 548

Dear Mr. Haskins:
Betty Miller has a failing sewage system. Mrs. Miller's sewage system has been
failing for several months. Her original system was installed approximately thirty (30)
years ago and was not inspected by the Health Department. The system was installed very
close to a small stream. Sometime in the Summer of 1998, Mrs. Miller had Terra -lift to
repair her system. The Terra -lift system does not require a permit from the Health
Department. This did not correct her problems with the sewage systems.
Our Department issued a Repair Permit on August 28,1998. The system was
installed on November 25,1998. After the system was installed, it failed again.
Three Environmental Health Specialists from our Department have evaluated the
lot and were not able to issue a Repair Permit. Jim Boyer, Soil Scientist with the State of
North Carolina and myself visited the lot and we have determined that there is no Repair
Permits that can be issued by the Henderson County. Department of Public Health. There
is physically no space left to install any type of system on the property. Mrs. Miller has
contacted her neighbors, but she has been unable to buy or lease any property for the
purpose of installing an on -site sewage system.
It is our recommendation that a sand -filter -discharge system be installed on this
property. If a sand -filter -discharge system cannot be approved by the State for Mrs.
Miller, then the only option left is to evict Mrs. Miller from the house. If you have any
questions, please free to call or write.
Sincerely,
Robert K. Smith, R.S.

Subject: Sand filter discharge system application for Betty Miller:
To: NC DEHNR /DWQ, NPDES Permits Group, P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0535
I am submitting an application for a sand filter discharge system for a failing system on the above subject.
I met with Roy Davis in March to review the house and current system. The house is on a 1/4 acre lot with a well
in front and a creek for the boundary on the lower side of the house. The only location for the failing system is
next to the creek bed. There is less than a 25'x60 space on the back of the house of total land without any standard
setbacks used.
The city sewer location is at least 8 miles away and would be unfeasible to consider. No other system will
fit the property. The sand filter discharge system will not meet the setbacks either but is the best alternative Betty
Miller has. Because of space limitations a recirculating sand filter system is used. Also this system is above
ground for the septic tank and sand filter to provide the proper elevation for discharge into the creek.
Robert Smith head of the Department of Public Health for Henderson County wrote a letter that is
included with the application.
Yours respectfully,
Gerald Haskins

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mack Wiggins
FROM: Roy Davis
SUBJECT: Individual Residence Sewerage System
Betty Miller Residence
Henderson County
I understand that we routinely require chemical
dechlorination as a part of the treatment scheme for single
family residences whenever the receiving stream bears the
"Trout" supplemental classification. The receiving stream
below the Betty Miller residence bears this supplemental
classification. If at all possible, I would like to avoid
requiring chemical dechlorination for the reason that we
have crammed about all the units we can get into Betty's
backyard, the receiving stream is,so small that trout are
probably not present for some distance downstream and
Betty's financial means are limited. She would very much
appreciate relief from having to purchase this additional
unit.
Do what you can. Give me a call if we need to discuss this
further. Thanks for all your past help with this project.

Dear Mr. Haskins:
Betty Miller has a failing sewage system. Mrs. Miller's sewage system has been
failing for several months. Her original system was installed approximately thirty (30)
years ago and was not inspected by the Health Department. The system was installed very
close to a small stream. Sometime in the Summer of 1998, Mrs. Miller had Terra -lift to
repair her system. The Terra -lift system does not require a permit from the Health
Department. This did not correct her problems with the sewage systems.
Our Department issued a Repair Permit on August 28, 1998. The system was
installed on November 25,1998. After the system was installed, it failed again.
- Three Environmental Health Specialists from our Department have evaluated the
lot and were not able to issue a Repair Permit. Jim Boyer, Soil Scientist with the State of
North Carolina and myself visited the lot and we have determined that there is no Repair
Permits that can be issued by the Henderson County. Department of Public Health. There
is physically no space left to install any type of system on the property. Mrs. Miller has
contacted her neighbors, but she has been unable to buy or lease any property for the
purpose of installing an on -site sewage system.
It is our recommendation that a sand -filter -discharge system be installed on this
property. If a sand -filter -discharge system cannot be approved by the State for Mrs.
Miller, then the only option left is to evict Mrs. Miller from the house. If you have any
questions, please free to call or write.
MAY 6 1999LL
Sincerely,
