5. Actor"the Act": The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act,as ascended,33 USC
1251,at.seq. _
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 ate 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. Average Monthly Concentration for Fecal Coliforrn: The geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar month. This limitation is identified as"Monthly Average"in Part I of the permit.
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"in Pan I of the permit.
7. Other Measurements
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.
S. Grab Samples- Individual samples of at least 100 mil collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab
samples can be collected manually.
9. Calculation of Mews
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 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. Forpurposes of calculating the geometric mean,values of zero(0)shall be considered to be one(1).
c. Weighted by Flaw 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 tray be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Pan 116 paramour to Section 311 of the Clean Water
Act,
12. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1)of the Clean Water Act.
13. Bypass, The intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of treatment facility(including the collection
system). The pemrittee 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 damage 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.
15. Upset: 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 pertmttee. 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.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mack Wiggins FROM: Roy Davis Ka)
SUBJECT: Proposed Discharging Sewerage System
Single Family Residence
Lot Number 35
Spencer' s Place
Applications Number NCG551217
Buncombe County
On June 28 , 2002 I inspected property belonging to Edward Kirkpatrick in
the Spencer' s Place development in Buncombe County. The lot (lot number
35) is bottom land having access to Pole Creek. The Buncombe County
Health Department had previously determined the lot unsuitable for a
septic tank-drain field sewerage system . For the record I will go ahead
and say that the lot was turned down by the Buncombe County Health
Department for conventional septic tank-drain field systems because of
lack of available space and soil wetness.
The possible receiving stream is Pole Creek which bears a Class C
classification and is located in the French Broad River Basin. At the
possible point of treated wastewater discharge the drainage area of Pole
Creek is several square miles.

No public sewer is reasonably available to this property; the .nearest such
sewer is approximately one mile away. The proposed point of discharge is
located as follows :
Latitude: 35 degrees, 32 minutes, 55 .66 seconds North
Longitude: 82 degrees, 41 minutes, 40 . 91 seconds West
It is my recommendation that, following plans review and a finding that
the requirements of the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission
are met, a Certificate of Coverage for the requested single family
residence discharging sewerage system be issued. Attached for your use is
a copy of a portion of the Enka quadrangle showing the location of the
property under discussion. I am only a telephone call away should I be
able to help you in this matter.

On December 6, 2016 Dan Boss conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at 220 Kirk Way in
Buncombe county. The owner, Jerry Cook was present for the duration of the inspection. The system
appeared well maintained and functional. There was no evidence of ponding over the sand filters or
septic failure. Mr. Cook has the septic pumped on a regular schedule. The most recent pumping was
in spring of 2016. The chlorination tubes were discovered empty, but Mr.Cook refilled them during the
inspection and he is using the correct size and type of tablet. Mr.Cook is making regular checks of the
outfall and has never seen a discharge from the system,even after running several(bads of wash. He
has sample bottles on hand in the event that his system:does begin discharging.

Section 0:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
On April 20,2016, Rob Topolski of the Asheville Regional Office(ARO)conducted a Compliance
Evaluation Inspection of the Single Family Residence wastewater treatment system(NPDES Permit
No. NCG551217)at 220 Kirk Way in Buncombe County, NC. The property owner/permittee, Mr.Jerry
Cook, could not be reached and was not present during this inspection, Inspections were concurrently
conducted at the neighboring systems at 218 and 224 Kirk Way.
Chlorine tablets were present in one of the two chlorinator tubes; however, they were too small for this
I
system's 3-inch tubes and may have expanded and become stuck and not in contact with the water.
Solids were observed in the other chlorinator tube and scum and excessive sludge had built up in the
chlorine contact chamber indicating that the septic tank has not been pumped out at the required
frequency.
It is noted that it appears that the chlorinator and chlorine contact chamber for the neighboring system
serving 218 Kirk Way is also located behind this residence at 220 Kirk Way. Regional Office files
include a schematic showing that this system's effluent pipe is connected to the effluent pipe from 218
Kirk Way and may also be connected to the effluent pipe from 224 Kirk Way. The right of way to the
outfall at Pole Creek was overgrown with vegetation and could not be located. From the layout of
observable system components, it is possible that these three systems all share an outfall. These
permittees should investigate the flow of this possible shared outfall so that each may develop a
sampling plan. Annual samples must be representative for each separate system's effluent and must
be analyzed by a North Carolina certified laboratory.
-1 Because the permittee was not available during this inspection and records were not reviewed,
additional information is being requested at this time.
•Please submit records of annual septic tank inspections, documentation of septic tank pumping
events,and copies of the past 3 annual analytical reports.
Annual billing is delinquent and this permit coverage has expired.
'I •Contact Bob Sledge at(919)807-6398 to determine how to make a payment and renew the subject
permit.
Due to the violations discovered during this inspection,a Notice of Violation has been issued with this
report. To prevent further action, please comply with all remedial measures by the due dates listed.
'i •Please submit a corrective action plan and any documentation to this office addressing the
non-compliance identified in this report.

Regarding the General Permit(NCG550000)for Single Family Residences:
When does my permit expire and how do I renew it?
The expiration date of the permit is on the first page of the General Permit. This General
Permit expires on July 31, 2012. Approximately 180 days prior the expiration of the General
Permit, you will receive a renewal notice in the mail from the Division.
Key Permit Requirements To Remember
• Annual sampling of the effluent from the system is required.
• The parameters to be sampled can be found in Part I, Section A. A North Carolina state
certified laboratory should be contacted to perform the analytical monitoring. A list of North
Carolina certified laboratories can be obtained by looking in the telephone directory yellow
pages under'laboratories—testing"or by calling the Division of Water Quality Asheville
Regional Office at 828-296-4500.
• All samples should be collected before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other
wastestream,water or substance. (Part II, Section DA)
• The permittee shall give notice to the Division of any planned physical alterations or additions
to the system that could significantly increase the quantity of pollutants discharged or
introduce new pollutants to the discharge. These alterations include any types of residence/
facility expansions. (Part 11, Section E:3)
j Submission of monitoring reports is NOT required. All monitoring information must be retained
'I on site for a period of 3 years. (Part 11, Section E:1)
Does a North Carolina state certified lab need to be used to analyze samples?
Yes, a North Carolina certified lab must be used to perform analytical monitoring.. The only
exception to this rule is when measuring the value of pH. These pH values should be measured in
the field because they may change considerably between when the sample is pulled and it is
analyzed at the laboratory.
Operation and Maintenance
In order to protect water quality and to ensure proper operation of domestic wastewater systems,the
following measures should be taken:
• Check the septic tank every year to see if solids should be removed.
• Have the septic tank pumped out every three to five years. Contact a local septic service/repair
company from the yellow pages.
• Inspect disinfection and dechlorination equipment(if applicable)weekly to confirm proper
operation.
• If a chlorinator and/or dechlorinator is installed, replace tablets whenever necessary.

Tips for Maintaining Your Septic Tank
The septic tank is usually a watertight concrete box buried in the ground outside the house.
Wastewaters from the house, including the toilets, shower, bathtub,washing machine and
dishwasher Flow into the tank. Heavier solid materials settle to the bottom and the liquid flows
out of the tank into a soil drainfield. Both the septic tank and drainfield must be properly
maintained for the system to work correctly for many years. Some tips for maintaining your
septic system are:
• Do not put too much water into the septic system. Try to conserve water wherever possible.
• Do not add materials such as chemicals, sanitary napkins, or other foreign objects.
• Restrict the use of your garbage disposal.
• Do not pour fats, oils or grease(FOGS)down the drain.
• Have the solids pumped out of the septic tank every 3-5 years.
• Keep automobiles and heavy equipment off of the septic tank and drain field.
• Keep the area free of heavy vegetation, brush, bushes or trees, etc. Maintain grass over the
area.
Chlorination and Dechlorination Tablets
• If the treatment system has a chlorinator or dechlorinator, it is important that there is an
adequate supply of tablets to ensure proper disinfection. There will usually be a white PVC pipe
sticking up from the chlorinator/dechlorinator where the tablets should be inserted.
• Ensure that the chlorine tablets are making contact with the wastewater. Moisture can cause
them to swell up and clog the feeder tube. If this happens, shake the feeder tube or use a pipe
or a rod to dislodge the swollen tablets.
• Tablets can be obtained from most plumbing or chemical supply stores. Make sure that the tablets
are certified for wastewater use. Chlorine tablets are NOT the same type of chlorine used for
swimming pools.
Some of the signs that your septic system may be having problems are:
• Sewage backing up into your toilets,tubs or sinks.
• Slowly draining fixtures; particularly after it has rained.
• The smell of raw sewage accompanied by soggy soil over the drainfield.
• Sewage discharging over the ground or in nearby ditches or woods. If you see any of these
signs, contact a septic repair company from the yellow pages in your area.
Right-of-Way
Issuance of this general permit does not relieve the permittee from obtaining all necessary
right-of-way or easement rights to discharge wastewater on or across another property.
What If I Sell My Property?
The Division views changes of name or ownership as a minor modification and requires the
Director's approval. Name and ownership changes require you to complete a Name/Ownership Change
Form. The forms are available by contacting the NPDES Permitting Program at(919) 807-6300.
