The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on June 4, 2004. We need one additional item in
order to process your permit renewal:
♦ Solids handling and disposal. How often are solids (sludge) removed from your facility? How are
solids disposed after removal?
A member of the NPDES Unit will review your application. That staff member will contact you if additional
information is required to complete your permit renewal. You should expect to receive a draft permit approximately
30-45 days before your existing permit expires. The requirements in your existing permit will remain in effect
until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action).
If you have any additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact me at (919)

Dear -Mr. Bassinger:
May 6, 2003
Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspections
Caldwell County Schools
Caldwell County
On April 24, 2003, the Division of Water Quality inspected the
wastewater treatment facilities serving Baton, Collettsville, Gateway,
Happy Valley, Kings Creek, and Oak Hill Schools. Comments concerning
each of the schools are offered below. Inspection reports are attached.
Due to scheduling difficulties in this agency's laboratory, no samples
were collected. _Compliance judgements were based upon observations and
review of operational records.
BATON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Compliance Evaluation Inspection
NPDES Permit Number NCO030783
Status: Compliance
The discharge from the school's septic tank -subsurface sand filter
was clean and clear in appearance. The operator's log book and
calibration records revealed adequate operational attention. The
facility was judged to be operating in compliance with its discharge
permit.

The system appeared well maintained. The sand filter was dry,

HAPPY VALLEY SCHOOL
Compliance Evaluation Inspection
NPDES Permit Number NCO041181
Status: Compliance
A clean, clear discharge was trickling from the system. The
operating sand bed was partially plugged with fine solids. As
discussed in previous correspondence, the device that alternates flow
to the sand filters should be repaired. Repair of the alternating

A clean, clear discharge was trickling from the system. The operating sand bed was partially
plugged with fine.solids. The device that alternates flow to the sand filters should be
repaired. Repair of the alternating device will minimize the required amount of operational_
attention and maximize the life of sand in the system. For Happy Valley and other schools at
which water records are used to determine flow, the water records must be maintained with the
wastewater facility's data.

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
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.
Calendar Dav
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.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples map be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: 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
(3) Variable time/constant volume: 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 preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method
may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following
restrictions also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
Version 10/10/2007

PDES Permit Stanch
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall c
grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect
effluent grab samples at least every X hours [X = days detention time] over a 24-hour period. Effluent
samples shall be collected at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-
hour sampling period.
a-
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs 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.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" for conventional and other non -toxicant parameters. NOTE: Permittees may not
submit a "daily average" calculation [for determining compliance with permit limits] for toxicants. See the relevant
Federal effluent guideline[s] for the appropriate calculation interval.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWO or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
Facility Closure
The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage
under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.

➢ Comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 8G.0204.
The ORC of each Class II, III and IV facility must:
➢ Visit the facility at least five days per week, excluding holidays
➢ Properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility
➢ Comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 8G.0204.
Once the facility is classified, the Permittee shall submit a letter to the Certification Commission designating the
operator in responsible charge:
a. Within 60 calendar days prior to wastewater being introduced into a new system
b. Within 120 calendar days of -
Receiving notification of a change in the classification of the system requiring the designation of a
new ORC and back-up ORC
➢ A vacancy in the position of ORC or back-up ORC.
2. Proper Operation and Maintenance
The Permittee shall at all times provide the operation and maintenance resources necessary to operate the existing
facilities at optimum efficiency. 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 Permittee to install
and operate backup or auxiliary facilities only when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the
permit [40 CFR 122.41 (e)].
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 [40 CFR 122.41
(c)]
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Bypass not exceeding limitations [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (2)]
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 b. and c. of this section.
b. Notice [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (3)]
(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 effect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The Permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part
II. E. 6. (24-hour notice).
c. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass from the treatment facility 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 cif 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

Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: 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
(3) Variable time/constant volume: 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
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or

monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also

PART IV
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR MUNICIPAL FACILITIES
Section A. Definitions
In addition to the definitions in Part II of this permit, the following definitions apply to municipal facilities:
Indirect Discharge or Industrial User
Any non -domestic source that discharges wastewater containing pollutants into a POTW regulated under section
307(b), (c) or (d) of the CWA. [40 CFR 403.3 (i) and 0) and 15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(11)]
Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization.
This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T
.0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government
organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges
to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW
treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of
POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)]
"Significant Industrial User" or "SIU"
An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(33)]:
1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary,
noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the
POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and
conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a
Significant Industrial User (SIU); or
6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a
non -significant categorical Industrial User.
Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs)
Version 1110912011

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 15 of 18
All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]:

and
2. Any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants being introduced by an indirect discharger as
influent to that POTW at the time of issuance of the permit.
3. For purposes of this paragraph, adequate notice shall include information on (1) the quality and quantity of effluent
introduced into the POTW, and (2) any anticipated impact that may result from the change of the quantity or
quality of effluent to be discharged from the POTW.
Section C. Municipal Control of Pollutants from Industrial Users.
Effluent limitations are listed in Part I of this permit. Other pollutants attributable to inputs from Industrial Users
discharging to the POTW may be present in the Permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information
becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be revised to specify effluent
limitations for any or all of such other pollutants in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality
standards.
Prohibited Discharges
a. The Permittee shall develop and enforce their Pretreatment Program to implement the prohibition against the
introduction of pollutants or discharges into the waste treatment system or waste collection system which

SUBJECT: Compliance Sampling Inspection
Kings Creek Elementary School
Permit No: NCO041190
Caldwell County
Dear Mr. Church:
On January 16, 2013 a Compliance Sampling Inspection was performed at the subject
wastewater facility. Present during the inspection were Kathy Jimison, with the Division of Water
Quality, Steve Suit with Caldwell County, John Younce and John Gragg with Water Tech Labs.
The facility was found to be Marginally Compliant with permit NC0041190. There was a Daily
Maximum Effluent Violation of Fecal Coliform. Water Tech was contacted and asked to check the
disinfection system at the facility. Their follow up sample results indicated compliance.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. If you or
your staff have any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.

Effluent samples were obtained. The Fecal Coliform result was elevated.
Effluent Results: BOD 10 mg/I, TSS 6.2 mg/l, Fecal Coliform 1100 col/100ml. The daily max for Fecal
Coliform is an effluent violation.
The inspector contacted Water Tech to discuss the cause of the elevated fecal number and asked the ORC
to evaluate the disinfection system. Follow up Fecal Coliform sampling by the ORC on 1/21/2013 were
compliant.
Fecal Coliform results performed by ORC in January were both <1. All three results yield a geometric mean
for the month of 10 col/100ml.

Subject: Renewal Notice
NPDES Permit NCO041190
Kings Creek Elementary School
Caldwell County
Dear Permittee:
Your NPDES permit expires on October 31, 2008. 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 your renewal application, you may
disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later
than May 4, 2008. Failure to request renewal by this date may result in a civil assessment of at least
$500.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after October 31, 2008, the current permit 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 wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact
me at the telephone number or address listed below.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you
must submit with the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact me at the
telephone number or e-mail address listed below.

Thank you for your letter dated January 25, 2006 regarding our response to the findings of your
inspection on December 12, 2005. 1 apologize for any parts of the response that were not specific
enough. I can assure you we do understand the importance of addressing all issues outlined in
your report.
Listed below is an update of the progress and further clarification for certain corrective actions.
Record Keeping
• Total flow will be calculated for each facility using metered potable water records. A system
will be devised in each case to determine the portion that enters the treatment plant.
• For those facilities having pumps with visible/audible alarms, the operator will maintain a log
book that includes the name of the inspector, date of inspection and information pertinent to
the inspection.
• A new treatment facility operator is being employed and a more defined chain of command
will be initiated. As of now, details have not been worked out, but communication between
maintenance staff and the ORC will be greatly improved to assist future inspections.
Sand Bed Maintenance
• Dosing tank and plumbing repairs should be completed within 45-60 days.
• Beds requiring leveling, raking and other general maintenance will be completed within 30
days.
• Actual new sand replacement may require 90-120 days depending upon availability,
delivery and weather conditions. We will accomplish this project as soon as practical.
General Maintenance and Repairs
• All sites requiring vegetation removal, old sand removal and disposal and on -going
preventative maintenance has begun.
• The leak on the effluent pump discharge line at the Collettsville pump station has been
repaired.
• Adequate sludge wasting has been accomplished at the Collettsville package treatment
plant.
• All plumbing and electrical needs associated with the Collettsville plant are presently being
addressed by our maintenance staff, outside contractor and ORC. Operational
improvements are already evident.

We regret any noncompliance issues that have risen and it is our belief that those problems a
direct result of poor judgment or lack of action by our previous ORC. Previous inspections by
department did not indicate areas of grave concern.
Enclosed are copies of the Water Pollution Control System ORC designation forms being
submitted to the WPCSOCC.
If you need additional information, please call me at 828-728-8407 ext 142.

Caldwell County
Dear Mr. Bassinger:
Thank you for your timely response to the subject NOVs for Caldwell County Schools issued
upon an inspection by this office on December 12, 2005. Your response to the violations, however,
indicates a lack of understandingof the findings and of the need for specific corrective actions.
For all Caldwell County schools inspected, the operator's record keeping must include the
methodology for how total flow is calculated, not measured. Additionally, these records are to
include who inspects, and when, the required visible and audible alarms for those facilities having
pumps. At the time of inspection, the operator indicated that school maintenance personnel handle
all pump or lift station maintenance, including inspection of these alarms. Regardless of who
inspects these systems, it is the operator's responsibility to ensure that this information is maintained
in his log book. Given the relationship between your operator and school maintenance personnel, it
is recommended that our office receive an indication of who holds _what inspection and maintenance
responsibilities in order to assist our future inspections.
Of particular interest to our office is a timeline or date for when all sand beds will have sand
replenished. At the time of inspection, all facilities were in need of sand, with the filter at Kings Creek
being in dire need of not only sand, but also of line and dosing tank repair. Your response dated
January 13, 2006 simply states "Sand beds will be thoroughly inspected and replenished as
needed." Inspectors have documented that all of these beds need replenishment now. Accordingly,
you are required to inform us of a date by which such repairs will be made by your operator. We will
then schedule a follow-up inspection to document said repairs.

Failure to address these items, in addition to those originally noted in the NOV
3, 2006, may result in our office proceeding to enforcement actions. To preven
carefully review these violations and deficiencies and respond in writing to this office wiinin rirteen
working days of receipt of this letter. Again, you should address the causes of noncompliance and
all actions taken to address the deficiencies. If you should have any questions, please do not

Listed below is a response to the deviations/violations/comments out in your report.
Baton Elementary
The operator will be required to improve recordkeeping, which will include dates of septic
tank pumping, name of hauler, and equipment operation maintenance. As a matter of
information, the septic tanks were last pumped in June'2005 by Phillip's Septic Service of
Lenoir, NC.
Enclosed is an authorization to construct a 0.015 MGD UV Disinfection System.
Collettsville Elementary
• The operator has been instructed to improve all aspects of his operational duties if he
desires to continue his employment. We sincerely regret the operational shortcomings and
are making every effort to address any maintenance deficiencies. Phillip's Septic Service
will be providing a thorough pumping of all units at the plant on January 12, 2006.
• A closer communication between the operator and maintenance staff will occur to increase
the reliability of plant operation.
• The operator has been instructed to provide strict adherence to all monitoring requirements
set forth in the permit.
• A copy of the permit will be available on -site for authorized personnel.

unit process description failed to be included in the last permit application and/or final
permit printing., Please let us know if further action is required prior to the next application
date.
• A copy of the permit will be available on -site for authorized personnel.
• The operator apparently gave the inspectors inaccurate information. The septic tanks were
last pumped in June 2005 by Phillip's Septic Tank Service of Lenoir, NC. Dates of
pumpage and septic hauler name will now be a required part of the operator's logs.
• Any dosing/distribution box maintenance issues will be addressed during upcoming sand
bed remediation. .

• Overall repairs and general maintenance will be improved. We will rely on the operator to
identify those units that have leaks or are working improperly and coordinate the repairs
with the maintenance staff.
• Sand beds will be thoroughly inspected and replenished 'as needed.
• Used sand will be disposed of properly as soon as practical.
• A fast track authorization to construct application will be completed and submitted as soon
as possible to achieve compliancewith effluent residual chlorine regulations.

A copy of the permit will be available on -site for'authorized personnel.
The septic tanks were last pumped in June 2005 by Phillip's Septic Tank Service of Lenoir,

pumpage and hauler names.
The operator has been instructed to provide strict adherence to all monitoring requirements
set forth in the permit.
I hope I have adequately addressed the issues outlined in your inspection reports. We rely heavily
on information provided by our wastewater operator to properly maintain these systems. We agree
that improvements are needed in this area and will make every effort to take any necessary
corrective action.
If I can be of further assistance in this matter, please let me know.

Facility was dosing at time of inspection and unequal dosing was apparent. A crackil I LI IV UUOJI Iy IQ1 IN vvaa
observed and one lateral line which was dosing at the time was cracked. The beds in general were in
desperate need of sand and the lateral lines were in need of cleaning. Overall the beds appear to be
neglected.
Used sand is disposed of over the fenced perimeter where it is left to vegetate. Vegetation growing around
the perimeter inhibits proper disposal of used sand. Recommend creating access to perimeter in order to
properly dispose of used sand.
Buried chlor/de-chlorinationtanks are covered with vegetation. Area should be cleaned to assist with pest
control. TRC limits apply to outfall and operator "borrows" low-level colorimeter chlorine meter from Water
Tech Labs. At the time of inspection, operator's field certification #5267 was not current. Very little
discharge at time of inspection prohibited TRC limits check.
Influent flow is calculated from facility's water usage bills. Methodology for calculations along with
documentation of calculations and monthly bills should be included wtih operator logs.
Recommend that dosing tank and broken lateral line be repaired.
Recommend that sand be replenished in sand beds.
Recommend that lateral lines be cleaned on regular basis and documentation kept with operator logs.
Recommend that operator logs include dates of septic tank pumpage and hauler, and methodology for
calculating influent flow and monthly water bills.
Recommend that used sand be disposed of properly.
Recommend that sand bed perimeter and chlor/de-chlor tanks be cleared of weeds to allow proper
maintenance of system.
Recommend that operator seek assistance with proper completion of DMRs.
Note that permit does not reflect existence of chlor/de-chlor treatment. Owner should inform DWQ
permitting unit of complete treatment system as it exists on -site. Note that no back-up operator is
identified. Recommend permittee get ORC to complete ORC designation form indicating backup operator.

Re: General Certification Summary Table
NC EN-R
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF

Ares-4 AWV
Atta'ched is a summary table of all the current and pending General 401 Water Quality
Certifications (GC's) as of October 31, 2000. The only change we anticipate for the next year
will be the development of a brand new General Certification corresponding to the upcoming
revision of the Corps of Engineers' existing General Permit 198200031, which is currently rolled
into our GC 3289 for Nationwide Permit 14.
Apart from presenting all our GC's in an easy -to -read format, another useful function for
this table is to provide a quick reference for written application requirements for the regulated
community. After most GC numbers is a simple "yes" or "no" telling whether or not the
applicant needs written concurrence from DWQ prior to commencing work. Where the written
concurrence requirements have thresholds, conditions, or other complications, a brief
explanation is -provided. Applicants should read the entire text of each GC to become fully
informed of the conditions specific to each GC. This table is posted on the Division of Water
Quality's 401/Wetlands Unit web page at http://l12o.enr. state. nc. us/ncwetlands . The full text of
each GC is available as an embedded hyperlink from this table.
Thank you for your attention. I will be happy to e-mail an electronic version of this table
upon request. If you have any questions, please contact me at [phone] or
[e-mail].

Enclosed are 3 sets of revised plans for the above referenced project. Per your letter of
February 19, 2001, I have added notes in one place on the drawings calling out the materials
etc. called for at various places on the plans.
Also enclosed is a letter from Caldwell County Schools Associate Superintendent, Junie
Bradshaw designating Rothrock Engineering as their authorized representative.
The NPDES Permit No. for this discharge is NC0041190.
Presently there is no chlorination prior to discharge. These plans are to add both chlorination
and dechlorination. In addition the outfall line will be relaid since there is no easement along
the existing alignment. The new line will be laid within an easement that the county has been
able to obtain on the adjacent property.
I talked to Teresa Rodriguez and she told me there was no application form that fits this
submission and that there would be no fee.
