Dear Permfttee:
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.NCG550000 which shall void NPDES
Permit NC0075451. 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 pemdt 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 Perntittee 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 perndttee is required to maintain all records for a period of at least
three (3).years.

Certificate of Coverage No. NCG550494
The issuance of this Certificate of Coverage is an administrative action initiated by the Division of
Environmental Management and therefore,no fees are due at this time. In accordance with current rules,there
are no annual administrative and compliance monitoring fees for coverage under general permits. The only fee
you will be responsible for is a renewal fee at the time of renewal. The current permit expires July 31, 1997.
This coverage will remain valid through the duration of the attached general permit. The Division will be
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 Permittee from complying with any and all
statutes,rules,regulations,or ordinances which may be required by the Division of Environmental Management
or permits required by the Division of Land Resources,the Coastal Area Management Act or any Federal or
Local other governmental permit that may be required.
If you have any questions or need additional information regarding this matter,please contact either the

"EMC" used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management
Commission.
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 indi-
vidual values.
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 equivalent to
the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the indi-
vidual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean,
values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1).

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional lss lheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
I (Dan Boss)conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at 150 Old Hickory Lane in Avery County -
on 2/23117. 1 spoke with the owner, Stewart Gray,over.the phone, but he was not present for the
inspection. Overall the system appeared well maintained and functional. Mr.Gray said he had the
septic pumped in December of 2016 by Triple T Pumping. I called Triple T and they confirmed that the
work had been done. Mr. Gray said the pumps are in working order and he regularly tests the pump
- alarm. He also said that since this is a vactation home, he adds tablets to the chlorinator and
dechlorinator while he is staying at the house and removes them when he leaves. I told him this was
fine,and the inspection confirmed that there is typically zero flow through the chlorinator and
dechlorinator while the property is vacant.
The effluent pipe was not discharging during the inspection. Mr.Gray said he has only seen it
discharge one time after 5 straight days of rain. Given the elongated nature of the wastewater
system's layout it seems quite likely the discharge was purely due to infiltration.The cascade aerator
was in good condition.

Mr.Gray-
Thank you for your prompt response. I included the NOV simply to let you know what the compliance conditions were
at the time of the last inspection. Our interest is to get the correct ownership information(which will bring your current
permit into compliance) and provide technical advice to ensure the unit is operating in compliance with the permit.
Linda Wiggs works with me so we've discussed the system and are housed under the same singular, permitting agency. I
spoke with Mike Darlock (septic tank inspection company) earlier to get an indication of the system's condition. From all
the information I've gathered, it appears we need to get the ownership information changed (which will bring your
permit into compliance)and provide instruction on how to monitor(inspect and sample)the system and how to ensure
chlorination and de-chlorination tablets are being added. Based on your pics,these appear to be the correct chemicals
for the system.Your system likely has a chlorine stack feeder similar to the model below,which the feed tubes would be
visible from the surface.The de-chlorination portion likely looks similar and is located after the chlorine portion. Below is
some general information on the operation of the chlor/de-chlor. Note that the tablets can 'cake' so the columns should
be checked every few months.To avoid caking, it may be necessary to stack fewer tablets in the system and check the
system more frequently.
Let's plan on meeting onsite on March 11°".As you state,this will allow us to meet in person and we can totally review j.
the system and permit together.Also, by that time the ownership change information will likely be complete. Let me
know if this date changes but I'll place it on my calendar. Please call me as the date gets closer to confirm.Thanks again.

Mr.Gray
Thank you for your time this morning.Attached you will find the required ownership change form for your permit
(NCG550494). I've also included a copy of the Notice of Violation which resulted from the last,2006 inspection of the
system. Please make certain the system is incompliance with the permit and that the violations identified in 2006 are
corrected. I can assist with compliance when I conduct my inspection of the system. The 1P or 12"of next week works
well for me. Please let me know if it is possible to visit the site on either of these dates. If you do not have a copy of
your permit, please let me know.Thank you.

Next Tues, Feb 11 would be the better of the two days. Either my daughter(Kristen) or her boyfriend (Sam)could be at
the house until 3:00PM. It would be great if you could explain to them how the system works and where and how often
the tablets should be added to the system.Alternatively, I am going to be at the house March 10-11 and April 7-18.This
is perhaps a long time to wait, but I would certainly like first hand knowledge of all our permit requirements.
Thanks for all your help with this. I am anxious to get all of this cleared up so that we are operating under a proper and
valid permit and so we clearly know our responsibilities.

Chlorination is the most common form of disinfection as it is inexpensive to install and simple to
manage. Chlorine is available in solid,liquid and gas forms.Large municipal treatment plants may choose gaseous
chlorine due to the cost savings,but there are many special health and safety requirements. For the purposes of small-to
medium-sized onsite wastewater systems,chlorine in the form of liquid or solid is presented here.Solid pellets or liquid
bleach are more o ular for smaller systems.
i
Water In
Water _..
out
Whichever form is used,three factors are important when designing chlorine systems:
• Mixing:Thorough mixing is important for chlorination to ensure that the chemical comes in contact
with the water as much as possible. The better the mixing, the more effective the chlorination activities
will be. Often,a series of baffles thoroughly mixes the effluent and chlorine as it flows through the
discharge piping.
• Detention time:A minimum of an minutes of contact time must be provided for chlorination to function
properly.
• Dosage:A proper dose of between .2 to 2 milligrams per liter is required to disinfect effluent to levels
suitable for discharge.The proper dosage is determined by the amount of suspended solids in the
wastewater effluent. Bacteria tend to be protected from the effect of the chlorine if there are many solids.
The following are two methods of chlorination most common for onsite wastewater treatment systems:
Erosion chlorinators:Chlorine in the solid form is commercially available in tablets that can be loaded into feeders
plumbed in line with the effluent piping.As the effluent passes through the feed tube and contacts the pellets, a dose of
chlorine is imparted to the effluent as the pellets erode.In a typical erosion style chlorinator,such as the one pictured to
the left,chlorine is added to the wastewater as tablets dissolve. Chlorine tablets tend to cake in the moist environment,so
remove and clean stacks every 2 to 3 months for best results.

Hi Landon,
Thanks for sending the change form and the results of the last inspection. I will send the change form back ASAP.
The person we purchased the house from was Perry Houck. Peter Brennan,the name on the permit,was the owner
prior to Mr Houck so obviously the Houck s did not fill out the change form after purchasing the house in June 2011.
Based on the lack of information Mr Houck and his real estate agent could provide, I suspect they did nothing to the
system during the time they owned the house, although clorine and neutralizing tablets were in the garage when we
closed on the house (see pictures below).As I mentioned we did require a septic inspection prior to putting in a
purchase offer on the property. Mr Houck paid for the inspection and a copy is attached. It mentions that vegetation
needs to be cleared from the sand filter area and that chlorine tablets need to be added to the system. I spoke with the j-
person that conducted the inspection and he assured me that the system was operating fine and that the vegetation
was not a serious impediment although it should be cut back. He also mentioned he had added chlorine tablets.
I am not sure if the chlorine and neutralizing tablets at the house are the proper chemicals for use in our system. If not,
please recommend what we should be using.
The Notice of Violation you provided indicates the lack of a valid permit and that the chlorinator and de-chlorinator was _
not functional:-I cannot say if either of these were-ever-corrected-by-Mr Brennan or Mir Houck, however, --.
I did speak with Linda Wiggs(info below) prior to our purchase offer to get some info about the system.She provided a
copy of the septic system map and a copy of the permit issued in 2007 (see attached)so perhaps the 2006 violations
were corrected.

From the Dec 2013 inspection it appears that the chlorination/de-chlorination system just needs the appropriate
tablets. Is this true?Will a valid permit be issued to us once we have completed the change form?

The property has been sold. I met with new owners Stewart and Martha Gray. We discussed operation and
maintenance of this type of system.
The new owners were given handouts with general information and operator contacts.They also inquired
about disposal of old chemicals. It appears Avery County has a chemical disposal day in August. Please call
the local Cooperative Extension Service.at 733-8270 for more information.
The new owners stated they had mailed in the ownership change form to Raleigh at the beginning of
February, however Raleigh staff could not locate the form.Please resend the form indicating the changes

In order to assure yam 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(hat 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

Dear Ms. Plymire:
On July 1, 1996, the Division of Water Quality received a request for a permit for the
subject facility. On August 29, 1996, the Division sent you it letter requesting additional
information. This information was received in our offices. on September 20, 1996. However,
there are still a few items that need clarification and/or revision:
• The revised plans indicate that the step aeration is considered a dechlorination unit This is
incorrect. A dechlormation unit which utilizes a neutralizing chemical to counteract the elakmine
is required to adequately dechlorinate the wastewater. You may also wish to investigate other
methods of disinfection, such as ultraviolet disinfection.
• The inverse elevation for the line between the septic tank and the distribution box is listed as
36701.7 feet. This is incorrect and needs to be revised.
You will need to resubmit a revised set of plans which includes these items. If the
information is not received by November 12, 1996, the Division may return the application
materials to you. If you have any questions,please contact me at [phone], ext. 551.

Dear Ms. Plymire:
The Division of Water Quality has received your request for a permit to construct and
operate a wastewater treatment system for a single family residence. After a review and
site visit by Division staff, we are requesting that the following additional information be
submitted no later than September 30, 1996:
• The proposed outfall discharges into the Linville River, which is a Class C-Trout
water. This requires a dechlorination unit which is not specified on the plans
submitted.
• The size of the secondary sand filter is listed on the plans as 157 square feet.
However, the measurements of 6' x 27' equal 162 square feet. Please clarify this size
discrepancy.
• The elevation of the distribution box for the secondary sand filter is listed as 3695.64
feet, which is lower than the lower end of the filter which is listed as 3696.17 feet.
Please have the correct elevation listed for these components.
If we do not receive this information by September 30, 1996, the Division will return your
application as incomplete. If you have questions regarding this matter, please contact
Susan Robson at [phone], ext. 551.

Dear Ms. Plymire:
On July 1, 1996, the Division of Water Quality received a request for a permit for the
subject facility. On August 29, 1996, the Division sent you a letter requesting additional
information. This information was submitted on September 20, 1996. However, the information
was still incorrect. On October 21, 1996, the Division sent you another letter requesting
clarification of two items. This information was to be submitted to our offices by November 12,
1996. As of the date of this letter,the information has not been received.
The submittal is considered incomplete. Therefore, the Division of Water Quality is
returning your submittal. The following pieces of information were not received:
X Description of a dechlorination unit which is required for chlorinated wastewater discharging
into trout waters, or an alternate form of disinfection. Step aeration is not a proper
dechlorination unit.
X Corrected inverse elevation levels for the line between the septic tank and the distribution box.
You will need to resubmit an application package with items as indicated above. The
receipt of the above information does not preclude this Division from requesting additional
"- information at a future date. Enclosed please find the application materials submitted. Application
fees are non-refundable according to North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2H .0105
(b)(1). Discharging without a valid NPDES permit is illegal and will be subject to a civil penalty of

Single Family Treatment Systems
NPDES Permit No.NCG550494

Dear Mr.Ferrell:
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.

In addition to being required by your permit,proper maintenance of your treatment system -
is extremely important to the long term serviceability of your wastewater treatment system.
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. If we can be of any assistance to you or if you have any questions or
comments,please call Dwight Lancaster of our staff at(919)733-0026.

Dear Mr. Graham:
Enclosed is a letter this Agency attempted to send you in April
1993, regarding your NPDES Permit for your property in Linville, Quail
Forest Subdivision. I spoke with your wife on August 9, 1993 , and was
informed of your new address. The applications were due in June, so it
is important that you act promptly to renew your permit. To reiterate
the letter, you will need to send a letter requesting the renewal, three
copies of the application and a check made payable to Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources (this can be abbreviated
DEHNR) for $240.00. I have partially completed the applications for you.
All you need to do is read over these applications complete, sign and
date them. Then along with the check and letter send this material to
address on the letter:
Division of Environmental Management

If you no longer own this property or wish to rescind the permit you
will need to contact me at 704-251-6208 . As mentioned in the
accompanying letter, allowing the permit to expire can result in civil
assessments. If you have any questions or. I can be of further

Dear Permittee: " -
The subject permit issued on 2/06/89 expires on 1/31/94. 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 latex 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 w1.11 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: �al--�//q^�I `"{

Dear Mr. Nathanson:
This letter is in reference to the property of Graham Ferrell,
specifically Lot 20 of the Quail Forrest subdivision located off
highway 105 in the Linville community of Avery County.
On August 4, 1988 Tom Singleton and I visited this property
for the purpose of a soil evaluation to determine the suitability
for a ground absorption sewage disposal system. An improvement
permit was denied for a conventional system on this lot due to
mottled soils and a high water table. The owner is interested in
installing a sand filter discharge system in lieu of a conventional
system, and I have referred them to your department.
If you will notify me ahead of time, I will be glad to accom-
pany you to the property. If I can be of any further assistance,
please feel free to call.
Sincerely,
-_Le W. Clark
