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 Technical Bulletin, you must renew the subject CoC. Complete the enclosed form and submit it to the address on the form. ➢ If you are not sure what type of system your property has, contact Larry Frost in the NC DENR Asheville Regional Office at. That person [or other staff members] can help you determine if you should renew your CoC. ➢ If you know that your property no longer discharges wastewater, contact me at the address or phone number listed below to request rescission of the CoC.

Hunt, Jr., Governor Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary A A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director V November29, 1993 Ir Johnny Carpenter Rt. 1, Box 186 Newland NC 28657 Subject: Certified Operator Requirements - Single Family Treatment Systems NPDES Permit No. NCG550484 Avery County Dear Mr. Carpenter: . During February of this year,public hearings were held on proposed changes to modify the operator certification rules. The proposed rules included a requirement that single-family discharge systems would be classified wastewater treatment facilities,which would require an annual inspection by a certified operator. The intent of the rule was to insure that the systems are being properly operated and maintained. During the public comment period, a significant amount of comments, statements and additional information was submitted. As a result, the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission amended the proposed rules. The rule, as adopted and effective July 1, 1993, now requires single-family discharging systems to be classified only if they are permitted after July 1, 1993 or if upon inspection by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM) it is found that the system is not being adequately operated and maintained. Systems can be inspected by DEM during routine compliance inspections, permit renewals, or complaint investigations. Once a system is classified, it will be required to have at a minimum, an annual inspection by a certified operator. It is important to remember that the NPDES permit is part of a Federal program administered by the State of North Carolina and that violations of the permit are enforceable by Federal and State laws. Although your system will not be required to have a certified operator at this time,proper operation and maintenance is needed for the system to function satisfactorily. In as much as each system must be individually designed and sited, special maintenance requirements may apply to a specific installation. The attached maintenance schedule should however be applicable to most systems. The frequencies suggested are considered to be the minimum necessary. More frequent attention may be needed for,a specific system and may be required by conditions of the permit. P.O.

If proper maintenance is not given to the system, it will fail and will result in major expenses for repairs. We would strongly encourage you to take the necessary action to insure that your system is operating properly.

Since the facility grounds and the receiving stream indicated no problems, the wastewater treatment facility appears to be operating properly, and is, therefore, considered to be in 'compliance with its NPDES Permit. During my inspection we discussed cutting the discharge pipe back so it would no longer lay in the river. Also, discussed was the tributary adjacent to your property. I notified Bucky at the Division of Transportation and was told he would stop by and tend to the dammed up tributary. If they have not and you are still experiencing exgess water, please find a way to get word to me and I will call them once again. If, in . the future, the residence is sold, please inform the new owners that they will need to apply for a new permit. NPDES Permits are not transferable.

The river bank had eroded away and the discharge pipe was submerged in the river. The system was not discharging. I advised Mr. Carpenter to cut back the discharge pipe so it no longer lay in the river. Mr. Carpenter also mentioned a trib. below the sand filter system that was backed up due to the river flooding and creating a debris dam. I spoke with Bucky at DOT, he said he'd see about getting out to Mr. Carpenters house n -.. -^b. 1:o clear the debri and allow the trib.to flow freely into the Toe River. Mrs. Carpenter mentioned the toilet would not flush properly during heavy water usage. If the cleaning of the backed up trib. and cutting of the discharge pipe do not remove extra hydraulic load and pressure then I recommended pumping the septic tank and snaking the pipes.

Becker 1653 Environmental T chhn cian SUBJECT: Johnny Carpenter Residence NPDES Permit #NC0074675 As you have already surmised from Mr. Carpenter' s letter, he is asking the Division to waive permit fees at this time due to financial hardship. Mr. Carpenter is suffering from a severe nerve disorder that precludes any employment. In addition, he requires medication, some of which is very expensive, to obtain some control of the disorder. I have visited the residence on a few occasions and can confirm both their financial situation and the seriousness of Mr. Carpenter' s illness. My recommendation is to waive the permit fees in Mr. Carpenter' s case. I have told him that I can not arbitrarily waive the permit fees but would need to have it approved by the Permits and Engineering unit. Any assistance the Division can give him and his family would certainly be welcome. PO Box 17687, R.leigh, North Camlina 17611 7687 l'clephonc 919 73 3-4984 fax X 9197334513 A.

NCO074675 AVERY COUNTY Dear. Permittee: The subject permit issued on 10/17/88 expires on 9/30/93. 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 $250.00; larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. A renewal application shall consist of the following information: 1. A letter requesting the renewal. 2. The completed application form (copy attached), signed and submitted in triplicate, referenced in Title 15 of North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC) Subchapter 2H .0105(a). 3. A processing fee (see attached schedule) in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b). The application processing fee is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate, listed in the first categories of facilities. 4. 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. 5. Facilities which have not been constructed within the last permit cycle and are therefore, considered "new" facilities, shall also submit an Engineering Alternatives Analysis, referenced in 15A NCAC Subchapter 2H .0103 and Subchapter 2B .0201.(c). 6. 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 the renewal. In addition to penalities 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. 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b)(2) requires payment of an annual Administrative and Compliance Monitoring 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 or any individual in the NPDES Group at telephone number (919) 733-5083.

For your consideration, we have attached a copy of a type of treatment system commonly called the subsurface sand filter system. (Note: that a septic tank, subsurface sand filter system may not be adequate treatment. ) However, it has been our experience that most individuals find that it is necessary or .advisable to seek the assistance of a registered engineer with experience in designing wastewater treatment facilities.
