Dear Mr. & Mrs. Wilkie:
ROY COOPER

MICHAEL S. REGAN
Secretarj,
S. JAY ZIMMERMAN
Director
On June 30, 2017, Mikal Willmer and I conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI) of
the Single Family Residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system located at 4800-4806 Asheville
Hwy. The property and the system were well maintained and appeared to be in compliance with
NPDES Permit No. NCG550013.
At the. time of the inspection, the system discharge pipe was capped at the creek. This could
cause the system to back-up and fail, or damage system components. Please contact us so we
may understand the situation better.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and recommendations.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 828-296-4500 or by email at
tim.heim@,ncdenr.gov.
Sincerely,
Tim Heim, P.E.

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.

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 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.

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.
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
now.
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.
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

(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

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.
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.

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

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. MONITORING 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 notmore than two years per
violation, or by both.

Memorandum of Agreement between the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsquently amended).
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A copy of the Certificate of Coverage for your treatment facility
* A copy of General Wastewater Discharge Permit NCG550000

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 inyou 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.

3. Definitions
a. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected in a one -
month period. The monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -month period.
b. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during a
one -week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria
is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -week period.
C. Flow, M3/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the
24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the
arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar
month.
d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the
summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual
values.
M

Part I
Permit No. NC
e. 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 equiva-
lent 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).
f. Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following:
(1) Not less than four influent or effluent portions collected
at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and composited
in proportion to flow.
(2) Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions
collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional
to the flow.
(3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over
a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow.
g. Grab Sample: A "grab sample" is a single influent or effluent
portion which is not a composite sample. The sample(s) shall be
collected at the period(s) most representative of the total discharge.

Dear GENE A. WILKIE

Subject: NPDES Permit No. NCO062588
HENDERSON
R. Paul Wilms
Director
Our files indicate that the subject permit for a wastewater discharge to the
surface water expires on 900831. GS 143-215.1(c) requires that an application for
renewal must be filed 180 days prior to the expiration date. We have not received an
application for renewal from you as of this date.
A renewal application shall consist of a letter requesting renewal along with the
appropriate completed and signed application form, submitted in triplicate, referenced
in Title 15 of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0105. Primary
industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part
122 (40 CFR Part 122), shall submit a priority pollutant analysis that is performed in
accordance with 40 CFR Part 122.21. A processing fee must be submitted with the
application. Please find attached a copy of the 15 NCAC 2B .0105(b) regulations. The
processing fee for your facility is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever
is appropriate, listed in the first five categories of facilities. No facility is
allowed to submit a fee for the general permits listed in the fee schedule at this
time since EPA has not approved our general permit. Also the Environmental Management
Commission adopted rules on August 1,1988, requiring the payment of an annual fee for
most permitted facilities (See Attached). You will be billed separately for that fee
(if applicable), after your permit is approved.
This matter should be given prompt attention in that continued discharge after
the permit's expiration, without the filing of a complete and timely application for
renewal, constitutes discharge without a permit and is a violation of GS 143-215.1(a)
and the Federal Clean Water Act of 1977. The application for renewal should be
submitted to:

ENGINEERING PROPOSAL
FOR
GENCO, INC.
HENDERSON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
DESCRT_PTION OF PROJECT
Genco, Inc. proposes to construct a small office building
near Mountain Home in Henderson County, North Carolina. The building
will serve approximately 15 employees with no industrial process water.
Since municipal sewer service is not available and a conventional ground
absorption system cannot be permitted, it is proposed to install a small
buried sand filter system with discharge to an adjacent creek.
..��.�`1 � ICI ••
The proposed wastewater treatment facility will include a
standard 1000 gallon septic tank, 400 square feet of sand filter area,
and a chlorine contact tank. It will be located adjacent to the office
building as shown on the attached plan. The system will be designed to
treat 375 gallons per day.
The proposed discharge will be very small in comparison to
the stream flow in the adjacent stream. We do not anticipate any
adverse effect upon the receiving stream.
