Dear Mr.Westall:
Thank you for taking time to meet today at Morgan Mill Trout Farm to discuss additional changes to the farm to
improve water quality in Morgan Mill Creek.Below are items that we recommended.
1.Intake
a. Install a flume,trough or other device in the stream from running water above the intake to below the intake,
maintaining adequate flow below the intake.
b.Remove sediment, if possible, from the intake box and above the intake,and/or manage the intake to prevent large
amounts of sediment from accumulating.Cleaning of these areas should only take place during times of high water
flow.
2.Farm Outflow
a.Install a riser-type outflow in the sediment pond at the outflow of the farm.
You stated the installation of these devices should enhance downstream insect drift to stream areas below the intake
and will further increase retention of sediment from upstream sources by Morgan Mill Trout Farm.It is my hope that
these efforts,along with upstream landowner participation to reduce erosion in the watershed,will improve water
quality and result in Morgan Mill and Peter Weaver Creeks being removed from the list of impaired waters in North
Carolina.
The sediment pond at the outflow of the catchout pond has been dredged and has increased sedimentation efficiency.
Since acquiring Cherokee Trout Farm,the production at Morgan Mill Trout Farm has greatly decreased.This has
resulted in less feed used and reduced nutrients leaving this farm
Thanks again

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEM or"the Division" Means the Division of Water Quality,Department of Environment and Natural
Resources.
3. EMC Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act,as amended,
33 USC 1251, et. seq.
5. 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 1 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.
6. 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 Limits" in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 of 11
6. 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 Limits" 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 Limits" 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. This limitation is
identified as "Annual Average" under"Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
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.
7. 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.
8. Tvaesoff 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

Part II
Page 3of11
8. a. (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 flow.
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. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the
receiving waters.
9. 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).
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.
10. 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.
12. Toxic Pollutant: A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean
Water Act.
SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. Duty to Comply

SECTION C. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS
1. Certified Operator
Pursuant to Chapter 90A-44 of North Carolina General Statutes, and upon classification of the facility by the
Certification Commission, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in
responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a certification of the
grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the
Certification Commission. The permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type
and any grade to comply with the conditions of Title 15A NCAC Chapter 8G .0200. The ORC of the facility
must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility at least daily, excluding
weekends and holidays, and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility
and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A,NCAC Chapter 8G .0200. Once the facility is classified,
the permittee shall submit a letter to the Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible
charge within thirty days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50%complete.
2. Proper Operation and Maintenance
The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control
(and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the
conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and
appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities
or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance
with the conditions of the permit.
3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or
reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(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.

Part II
Page 7 of 11
4. 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 11,
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. 0) of this section.
5. 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 permittee facility was at the time being properly operated;and
(3)The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part 11,E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit.
(4)The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II,B. 2. of this permit.
d. Burden of proof: In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an
upset has the burden of proof.

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 utilization/disposal of sludge may be
reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503.
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. Reportine

Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dewatering of Morgan Mill Creek
Transylvania County
Dear Mr. Owen:
On June 20 and again on July 3, 2001, Division of Water Quality Staff observed that the
Morgan Mill Trout Farm was removing all of the water from Morgan Mill Creek to supply the trout
ponds thereby dewatering a portion of the creek. This is a violation of 15A NCAC 213.0201 (b),
which states that a project cannot be permitted that affects state waters unless the existing uses
are protected-:Morgan-Mill Creek-is=classified-Class-&Trout. This classification a&defined,in 15A
NCAC 213.0211 defines the best usage of these waters as being suitable for the propagation and
maintenance of the biological integrity of aquatic life especially trout, wildlife and for secondary
recreation such as wading and fishing. Any activity, which precludes these uses, is considered a
violation of this water quality standard.
Please discontinue the practice of removing all of the water from Morgan Mill Creek to
supply the trout farm. Should this practice continue, the Division of Water Quality may initiate
enforcement proceedings against you. If you should have any questions, please contact either
Kerry S. Becker or me at 828-251-6208.

Dear Mr. Owen:
The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on April 11, 2001. Thank you for submitting
this package.
The permit renewal for this facility has been assigned to Charles Weaver. This staff member will contact
you if further information is needed to complete the permit renewal. Please note that the NPDES Unit has
several vacant positions. This staff shortage has lasted for over a year and is delaying all permit renewals.
Our remaining permit writers are currently reviewing Authorizations to Construct, speculative limit requests,
major permit modifications and 201 plan updates ahead of permit renewals. This is necessary due to a
variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in the statutes which govern our program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of N00081.001 the existing requirements in your permit will remain
in effect until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We appreciate your patience and
understanding while we operate with a severely depleted staff. If you have any additional questions
concerning renewal of the subject permit,please contact Charles Weaver at(919)733-5083, extension 5.1.1.
