Dear Permittee:
The facility listed above is covered under NPDES General Permit NCG500000. NCG500000 expires
on July 31,2007. Federal(40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina(15A NCAC 2H.0105(e))regulations require
that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days.prior to expiration of the current permit. If
you have already mailed a renewal request,you may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement,the Division must receive a renewal request postmarked no later than
February 1.2007. Failure to request renewal by this date may result in a civil penalty assessment. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. This renewal notice is being sent
well in advance of the due date so that you have adequate time to prepare your application.
If any discharge previously covered under NCG500000 will occur after July 31, 2007, the
CoC must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina
General Statute 143-215,1;unpermitted discharges of wastewater may be assessed civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per day.
If all discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this CoC [or if you have other
questions],contact me at the telephone number or e-mail address listed below.

as water used for cooling which does not come into direct contact with any raw material, intermediate product, waste
product or finished product.
2. Condensate wastewater from atmospheric cooling systems(air conditioners,etc.)
3. Blowdown wastewaters. Slowdown is defined as the minimum discharge of recirculating water for the purpose of
discharging materials contained in the water, the further buildup of which would cause concentration in amounts
exceeding limits established by best engineering practice.
4. Exempt stormwater,which is defined as discharges of stannwater which do not require permits under the state or Federal
NPDES programs. Exempt stra rnwater includes stomrwater which accumulates in outdoor basins or ponds designed for
cooling water or other waters covered by this permit.

6. Concentration Measurements
a. Average Monthly Concentration: 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 in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the
samples collected during that calendar day
b. Maximum Daily Concentration: 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.
7. Other Measurements
a. Average Flow(MGD): 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. Instantaneous Flow Measurement: A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling,when bath the sample and flow
will be representative of the total discharge.
c. Continuous Flow Measurement: 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.
8. Grab Samples: Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15.minutes. Grab
samples ean be collected manually. -
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The Nth root of the product of the individual values where Nis 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 0).
c. Weighed by Flow Value: The summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation
of the respective flows.
10. 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 far sampling.

system).The pemuttee 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.
14. Severe property darnme: 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 lass caused by delays in production.
15. Unset: 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 porosities. An upset does not include
noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment

Subject: NPDES Wastewater Permit Coverage Renewal
Mitchell Dist Cc-Asheville
CDC Number NCG500218
Buncombe County
Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for wastewater discharge under General Permit NCG500000. 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 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
coverage 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. Your facility will be invoiced for the annual
permit fee a[a later date.
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 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 stale 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.
