This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $466.62 ($350.00 civil penalty +
$116.62 enforcement costs) against Buncombe County Schools.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the Discharge Monitoring Report
(DMR) submitted by Buncombe County Schools for the month of January 2017. This review has shown the subject facility
to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES WW Permit No. NCO073814.
The violations, which occurred in January 2017, are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Buncombe County Schools violated the terms, conditions or
requirements of NPDES WW Permit No. NCO073814 and G.S. 143-215.l(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in
Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed
against any person who violates the terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority provided by the Secretary
of the Department of Environmental Quality and the Director of the Division of Water Resources, I, G. Landon Davidson,
P.G., Regional Supervisor, Asheville Regional Office hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against Buncombe
County Schools:

$116.62 Enforcement Costs
$466.62 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property
resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental
Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
(1) Submit payment of the penalty, OR
(2) Submit a written request for remission, OR
(3) Submit a written request for an administrative hearing
Option 1: Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environmental Quality (do not include waiver
form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

VP
2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in
the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282. 1 (b) was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty.will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of
your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the
original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties,
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thidy_(30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for
Remission Request."
Both forms should be submitted to the following address:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Option 3: File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:
-,Im

JCTSTIFICATION FOR REMISSION REQUEST
Case Number: LV-2017-0183
Assessed Party: Buncombe County Schools
Permit No.: NC0073814
County: Buncombe
Amount Assessed: $466.62
Please use this form when requesting remission of this civil penalty. You must also complete the "Request For Remission,
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form to request remission of this civil penalty.
You should attach any documents that you believe support your request and are necessary for the Director to consider in
evaluating your request for remission. Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five
factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting
remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual
statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(c), remission of a civil
penalty may be granted only when one or more of the following five factors apply. Please check each factor that you
believe applies to your case and provide a detailed explanation, including copies of supporting documents, as to why the
factor applies (attach additional pages as needed).
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 14313-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the
detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed in the civil penalty assessment document);
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation (Le., explain the
steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences);
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e., explain why the violation was unavoidable or
something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions (i. e., explain
how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities necessary to achieve
compliance).

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 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 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
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2of18
(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
➢ 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. 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
"Composite Sample," above.)
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).

Facility Closure
Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. 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).

Instantaneous flow measurement
The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in
that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab
samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge
during that sampling period.
Monthly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal
coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges.

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"

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 I 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.

Dear Mr. Davidson,
This letter is written on behalf of the Buncombe County Schools to provide information
as to remedial action taken to the above referenced facility. RPB Systems, Inc. is the
contract operations firm, which operates this facility.
As outlined in your August 25, 2015 letter we just received by snail on 1015115 the
treatment plant exceeded the daily BOD limit of 45mg/l with a 49.20 mg/1 on 5/14/15.
As stated on the back of the DMR, our operator stated seasonal temperature changes have
caused him to adjust the DO and wasting sludge amounts. All other weekly BOD
samples were well within the permit limits for the month and averaged 17.9 mg/L for the
month with a limit of 30.0 mg/L.
I trust you will call if you have any further questions or concerns.

Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Davidson,
This letter is written on behalf of the Buncombe County Schools to provide information
as to remedial action taken to the above referenced facility. RPB Systems, Inc. is the
contract operations firm, which operates this facility.
As outlined in your August 25, 2015 letter we just received by mail on 10/5/15 the
treatment plant exceeded the daily BOD limit of 45mg/l with a 49.20 mg/l on 5/14/15.
As stated on the back of the DMR, our operator stated seasonal temperature changes have
caused him to adjust the DO and wasting sludge amounts. All other weekly BOD
samples were well within the permit limits for the month and averaged 17.9 mg/L for the
month with a limit of 30.0 mg/L.
I trust you will call if you have any further questions or concerns.

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 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 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 tune/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
➢ 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).

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 CWA.
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.

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:

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.
6. 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
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 503. The Permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR 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 15A NCAC 2H.0124) to

means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent.
Section D. Monitorins 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 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 [40 CFR 122.41 (j)].
2. Reporting
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and reported
on a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the
Director, postmarked no later than the last calendar day of the month following the completed reporting
period.
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. Duplicate signed copies of
these, and all other reports required herein, shall be submitted to the following address:
NC DENR / Division of Water Quality / Surface Water Protection Section

detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all data generated must
be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved
methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below permit discharge
requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level)
approved method must be used.
Penalties for Tampering
The CWA provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate, any
monitoring device or method required to be maintained under this permit shall, upon conviction, be punished
by a fine of not more than $10,000 per violation, or by imprisonment for not more than two years per violation,
or by both. If a conviction of a person is for a violation committed after a first conviction of such person under
this paragraph, punishment is a fine of not more than $20,000 per day of violation, or by imprisonment of not
more than 4 years, or both [40 CFR 122.41].

Hi Bob,
Everything looks good. Attached are the two most recent inspection reports and facility info cover page .
Here's what I would suggest.
Supplement to permit cover page: (see attachment)
Continue to operate
0.011 MGD extended aeration package WWTP consisting of: grease
interceptors; flow equalization basin with manual bar screen; aeration basin with
dual blowers providing diffused air; clarifier with skimmer and sludge returns;
aerobic digestor; tablet chlorinator; chlorine contact chamber; tablet
dechlorinator; effluent Isco bubbler 4230 flow meter with battery back-up;
and emergency stand-by propane generator.
Your map (and the old permit) says that the sub -basin index number is: 04-30-02. It should be 04-03-02.
I feel that everything else in the attached documents is accurate.
ARO recommends renewal of this permit.
Let me know if you have questions or comments.
Thanks,
Wanda

Permit.
You are reminded that it is mandatory for the project to be constructed in accordance
with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act, and, when applicable, the North
Carolina Dam Safety Act. In addition, the specifications must clearly state what the contractor's
responsibilities shall be in complying with these Acts.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Authorization to Construct may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Water Quality in accordance
with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C.
The issuance of this Authorization to Construct does not preclude the Permittee from
complying with any and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be imposed by
other government agencies (local, state, and federal) which have jurisdiction.

North Buncombe Elementary School
Wastewater Treatment Plant
Project Description
The proposed project will enhance the operational capabilities of the existing
North Buncombe Elementary School Wastewater Treatment Plant. The current NPDES
permit allows a discharge of 11,000 gallons per day. No changes will be made in the
discharge nor will any changes be made in the discharge limits.
Choi"dg Flow equalization will be nearly oubled in volume and sludge holding will be
quadrupled. These modifications will allow a more flexible operation of the system to
help with the erratic flow cycles from the school.
To provide aeration clarification, chlorination, and dechlorination a second tank
will be added along side of the existing treatment tank. This will be done by
sandblasting, painting, and re -fitting a used Clow wastewater treatment plant.
The new tank is of such capacity to provide more than 24 hours detention time in
aeration ! _Ma cliFalll xue ° rovide over 4 hours detention time.
Please see the calculations for plant design for all capacities.

Re: Sludge Hauling for Buncombe County School Treatment Plants
Dear Belvin,
This letter is per our discussion to clarify your sludge management plant for your schools
treatment plants as required for your permit renewals and plant upgrades.
Currently we utilize Mikes Lusk Septic Hauling who has an agreement with MSD of
Buncombe County to dispose of stabilized sludge at the receiving station located at the
MSD facility in Asheville. Mike hauls sludge for the following facilities:
Buncombe County Schools -North Buncombe High School
NCO061182
Buncombe County Schools -North Buncombe Elementary School
NCO073814
Buncombe County Schools -Fairview Elementary School
NCO066796
Buncombe County Schools -Leicester Elementary School
NCO066788
Buncombe County Schools -Cane Creek Elementary School
NCO086436
I trust this will be sufficient for regulatory review of your permit renewals. If you have
any questions or concerns, please contact us anytime. .
Sincerely,
Robert Barr

ground alloy steel
gears are precision
machined and taper fit-
ted to alloy steel shafts,
eliminating the need for
unreliable timing pins.
Rugged steel mounting feet -
The Universal RAI can be easily changed from horizontal
flow to vertical flow using the same mounting feet. They're
even interchangeable with the mounting holes of similar
competitive blowers.
Long -life anti -friction bearings - Oversize cylindrical
roller bearings at the drive shaft handle v-belt stress;
all bearing points are engineered for long service life.
Versatile mounting - You can mount the Universal RAI in multiple positions to accommodate your specific needs. With your choice of
17 frame sizes, there's a URAI that fits right into your OEM or replacement application.

Vertical Gear End Drive Shaft Bottom Drive Shaft on Top
Vertical Mounting (Horizontal Air Flow)
BI-LOBE OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Two figure -eight lobe impellers mounted on parallel
shafts rotate in opposite directions. As each
impeller passes the blower inlet, it traps a finite
volume of air and carries it around the case to the
blower outlet, where the air is discharged. With
constant speed operation, the displaced volume
is essentially the same regardless of pressure,
temperature or barometric pressure. Timing gears
control the relative position of the impellers to each
other and maintain small but finite clearances. This
allows operation without lubrication being required
inside the lobe cavity.

Dear Mr. Hall:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $492.00
($350.00 civil penalty + $142.00 enforcement costs) against Buncombe County Schools.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Buncombe County Schools for the month of January
2011. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations
and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0073814. The violations which
occurred in January 2011 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Buncombe County Schools violated
the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO073814 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in
the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by
G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Quality,l, D. Keith Haynes, Division of Water Quality Acting

$492.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of .the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative

hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative
Hearings:

for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative
Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of

All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
