Dear Mr. Turbyfill:
I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the requirements for sewerage collection
systems that were first established in 15 NCAC .02H .0200 in March 2000 and are now found in
15 NCAC 2T .0403, Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters, which became effective
September 1, 2006. These Regulations place significant operation, maintenance and reporting
requirements on those entities that own or operate a wastewater collection system with average
daily flows of less than 200,000 gallons per day.
These regulations are applicable to your facility. This letter is provided as guidance
to assist you in complying with the new reporting and operations and maintenance (O&M)
requirements and to advise you that you are subject to system review, inspections and possible
enforcement, if the system is not in compliance with the regulation.
For your convenience and easy reference, a highlight of these requirements and the
following guidance are offered (see enclosed). You may find the regulations using the following
web site: http://h2a.enr.state.nc.us/peres/Collection%20Systems/CollectionSystemsHome.htmI
The Asheville Regional Office will be increasing the level of oversight, compliance
activities and enforcement relating to collections systems, therefore, we wanted to be sure you
are aware of the requirements for these systems. We will be performing NPDES Wastewater
Collection System inspections sometime in the near future.

PART II
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. These samples
shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative
of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Avera&e
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 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 for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
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
(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
Version 1012912010

PDES Permit Standard Conditions

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
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent
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 six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-
hour sampling period.
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" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in
the permit. 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).

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)].
NOTE: Properly and officially designated operators are fully responsible for all proper operation and
maintenance of the facility, and all documentation required thereof, whether acting as a contract operator
[subcontractor] or a member of the Permittee's staff.
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 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 b. of this section.
(2) Bypass from the collection system is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take
enforcement action against a Permittee for a bypass as provided in any current or future system -wide
collection system permit associated with the treatment facility.
(3) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects,
if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in
Paragraph c. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Effect of an upset [40 CFR 122.41 (n) (2)]:An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought
for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of
paragraph b. 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.
Version 1012912010

PDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 8 of 18
b. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset: Any 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 II. E. 6. (b) of this permit.
(4) The Permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II. B. 2. of this permit.
c. Burden of proof [40 CFR 122.41 (n) (4)]: The Permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has
the burden of proof in any enforcement proceeding.
Removed' Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of
wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to
prevent any pollutant 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

1. Reporting Requirements fSupersedes Section D. f2.1 and Section E. (5.) (a)]
Effective December 21, 2016, the permittee shall report discharge monitoring data
electronically, using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR)
internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each
month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted
facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the interiiet.
Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media
Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all
discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using: "eDMR and will be required to
complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original
and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DENR / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699=1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due
to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the
households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic
reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted
on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1. 1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director.
Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See "How to
Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month
following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the
month following the commencement of discharge.
Starting on December 21, 2020, the permittee must electronically report the following
compliance monitoring data and reports, when applicable:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
• Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and
• Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports.

2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9), the permittee must identify the initial re
the time of each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's wet
resources to identify the initial recipient for the electronic submission.
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means
the entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is
the designated entity for receiving electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a.website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting
tool for each type of electronic submission and for each state. .Instructions on how to
access and use the appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well.
Information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule is found at:
http://www2.epa.goV/compliance/final-national-pollutant-discharge elimination system
npdes-electronic-reporting-rule.
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements"
section above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To
obtain an electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic
reporting waiver request to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting
waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty
(60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin
submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not
exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports
shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is
granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic
reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting
waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the
period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective.

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 Pennittee'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 Pennittee 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 Pennittee 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.

Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report
Mountain Glen Golf Course
NPDES #: NCO033685
Date: 3/3/10
We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report.
This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to
the receiving waters every day. Our constant goal is to protect the environmental waters
of North Carolina. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually
improve the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are
committed to ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wastewater utility, please
contact Paul Isenhour at [phone]. We want our valued customers to be informed
about their wastewater utility.
Let.us first take this opportunity to give you a brief description of a Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and
ends up at the treatment plant.'The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large
particles that are present (i.e., rags and papers). The water then goes to an aeration basin
where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the
solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out.
The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to
feed. When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a
digester tank. In the digester, the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the
solids' volume. When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped from the tank and
taken to a larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for
disinfection. The two most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and
ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is
used, there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the
wastewater before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light (UV) is used, the
wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed to UV light,
so as the water passes the UV bulbs, the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection,
the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters.

PERFORMANCE
The treatment plant did very well last year. We are very pleased to report that there were
no violations for the entire year. All of the samples that were taken for the plant were
under the limits set be the State Division of Water Quality.
J
NOTIFICATION

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Larry Townsend/ ORC and Keith Haynes of this office assisted in the inspection of this facility.
Mr. Townsend stated the facility will shut down for the season in October.
The permit will expire February 28, 2011. Please request a permit renewal 180 days prior to expiration.
The logbook was on site along with a copy of the full permit.
The Annual Performance Report for 2008 was received March 2009.
A pump is on order for the declor feed; presently, the operator puts the declor in manually.
The operator stated the return & skimmer pipes will be fixed when the facility is pumped down in the fall.
It was noted that the stairway down to the discharge pipe had been knocked out by recent flooding; it needs
to be fixed and returned to use so the operator can more easily access the discharge pipe for the required
sampling.
It appears that this facility is well operated.

Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and
ends up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large
particles that are present (i.e., rags and papers). The water then goes to an aeration basin
where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the
solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out.
The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria.a second chance to
feed. When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a
digester tank. In the digester, the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the
solids' volume. When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped -from. the tank and
taken to a larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for
disinfection. The two'most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and
ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is
used, there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the
wastewater before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light (UV) is used, the
wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed to UV light,
so as the water passes the UV bulbs, the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection,
the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters.

PERFORMANCE
The treatment plant did very well last year. We are very pleased to report that there were
no violations for the entire year. All of the samples that were taken for the plant were
under the limits set be the State Division of Water Quality.
NOTIFICATION
This annual report has been sent to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and to
the owner of the wastewater system. The wastewater system owner has also been given a
letter that they can easily distribute to all their customers. The letter will inform the
customers that the annual report is available upon request to the owner of the system.
CERTIFICATION

Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report
Mountain Glen Golf Course
NPDES #: NCO033685
Date: 2/13/08
We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report.
This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to
the receiving waters every day. Our constant goal is to protect the environmental waters
of North Carolina. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually
improve the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are
committed to ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wastewater utility, please
contact Paul Isenhour at (828) 898_6277. We want our valued customers to be informed
about their wastewater utility.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Treatment Units / Process Control Testing / Effluent Data:
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature = 19.4 degrees Celcius
pH = 6.5 units
Dissolved Oxygen = 1.5 mg/I
Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3 mg/I.
Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve ideal
dissolved oxygen levels.
Settleable Solids = 300 ml/I = 30 %
Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so that the
flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the settleable solids
from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a settleometer. For example, a
settleability of 30% would generally indicate a recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%.
Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%) the same as the percent return sludge pumping
rate (i.e. 30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained. If the plant
cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably recommended, unless the
sludge is too young.
The effluent data was as follows:
Dissolved Oxygen = 2.5 mg/I
pH = 6.6 units
Temperature = 18.1 degrees Celcius
Chlorine = <15 ug/I
Effluent samples were collected and submitted to the laboratory for analyses.
Records & Reports:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was
conducted on 6-14-2006 by Wanda Frazier.
The permit expires on 2-28-2011. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to
expiration. A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.
The Annual Performance Report has been filed for the year and was on -site, along with a

complete copy of the current permit.
The log book was present on -site and had good notation of daily events.
Operations & Maintenance / Summary:
The effluent appeared to be clear, indicating compliance with permit limits.
This facility appears to be well operated and maintained.
The operator was on -site during the inspection and is doing a good job.
Mr. Charles McKinney, Maintenance Supervisor, was also on -site.
Recommendations:
Samples are required to be collected several times a month at the outfall pipe down at the
creek.
In order to reach the outfall pipe, the operator and inspector have to climb down
a bank and stand at the waters edge where the outfall pipe is located.
It is requested that steps and a hand rail be installed beside the outfall pipe
to prevent slipping or falling down the bank and into the creek.

Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report
Mountain Glen Golf Course
NPDES #: NCO033685
Date: 1/19/06
We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report.
This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to
the receiving waters every day. Our constant goal is to protect the environmental waters
of North Carolina. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually
improve the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are
committed to ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wastewater utility, please
contact Paul Isenhour at [phone]. We want our valued customers to be informed
about their wastewater utility.
Let us first take this opportunity to give you a brief description of a Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and
ends up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large
particles that are present (i.e., rags and papers). The water then goes to an aeration basin
where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the
solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out.
The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to
feed. When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a
digester tank. In the digester, the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the
solids' volume. When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped from the tank and
taken to a larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for
disinfection. The two most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and
ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is
used, there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the
wastewater before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light (UV) is used, the
wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed to UV light,
so as the water passes the UV bulbs, the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection,
the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters.
