Dear Mr. Owen:
Division staff has confirmed that the subject permit is no longer required. Therefore, in
accordance with your request, NPDES Permit NCO081001 is rescinded, effective immediately.
If in the future your company wishes to discharge wastewater to the State's surface waters, they
must first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit. Discharge of wastewater without a valid
NPDES permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Charles Weaver of my staff at the
telephone number or address listed below.

Dear Mr. Farmer,
After speaking with you on the phone today, I now understand why
there has been so much confusion. We had understood that our permit was
good for 5 years. A change was made to have all of your permits renewable
at the same time. So, this changed our permit to a 3 year renewal date,
and we were not made aware of this. Also, -we did not receive any notices
for renewal or the amount of the renewal because you had our address
and phone number incorrect on your forms.
It was just courtesy of our mail system to see that I received `� 1
the certified letter or I wouldn't have even received that. I do under,
stand that you received your information incorrect from your regional V'�•N'
office, and that it has now been corrected.
This is a future project of ours and it has not been constructed
at this time. We do wish to renew the permit and construct it at a future
date.
• I choose #4 and ask you to waive the penalty based on the address
information being incorrect �'Our permit payments have been paid in a
timely order in years past, and this being our first time for a renewal
and the renewal being changed.
At this time -I do not know the amount for the renewal. As soon as
you send the information to my address I will handle it immediately.

Subject: ASSESSMENT OF CIVIL PENALTY FOR
VIOLATION OF THE RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS
Transylvania Evergreen Corp.
NPDES Permit No. NCO081001
grans, rlyana4 county _.:. RV 95-12
Dear Mr. Owen:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against the subject facility in the amount of
$250.00.
This assessment is based upon the fact that a request for renewal of the subject permit was not
received by the Division of Environmental Management at least 180 days prior to the expiration date
contained in the permit. The renewal request requirement is contained in your permit and/or North
Carolina General Statute (N.C.G.S.) 143-215.1(c).
Based upon the above fact, I conclude as a matter of law that the subject facility violated or failed
to act in accordance with the requirements of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1. A civil penalty of not more than
$10,000.00 per day, in accordance with N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(a), may be assessed against a person
who fails to comply with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit required by N.C.G.S. 143-
215.1.
Based upon the above facts and conclusions of law, I hereby assess the subject facility a civil
penalty in the amount of $250.00 for violation of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1(c), pursuant to delegation
provided for by N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(h). Any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new
enforcement action, including an additional penalty.

-ty (30) days of receipt of this notice, you may:
�ubmit verification that the permit is no longer needed:
f the permit is no longer needed and no wastewater will be
-eated by the permitted facility, please complete the
ttached request for permit rescission. Upon verification
%J this fact by our regional staff, the permit and the civil
penalty assessment_ will be rescinded; OR
2. Submit verification that the wastewater treatment system was
transferred to another responsible party prior to expiration
of the permit:
If the wastewater treatment system was sold or otherwise
transferred to another responsible party prior to the
expiration date of the permit, please complete the attached
certification. Upon verification of this fact by our
regional staff, the civil penalty assessment will be
rescinded; OR
3. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made to the order of the Department of
Environment, Health,and Natural Resources (do not enclose
waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose
further enforcement action for any continuing or new
violation(s); OR
4. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation
including a detailed justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to
• consideration of the reasonableness of the amount of the
penalty and is not the proper procedure for contesting the
accuracy of any of the statements contained in this
assessment letter. Because a remission request foreclosures
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 that there are no
factual issues in dispute. You must execute and return the
attached waiver and stipulation form to this office with a
detailed statement which you believe establishes that:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in
G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the
detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental
damage resulting from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an
accident;'
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for
any previous violations; and/or
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for
• the remaining necessary remedial actions.

Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest this civil penalty assessment letter,
you must request an administrative hearing. This request
must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and
filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post
Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447. A
copy of the petition must be served on:
General Counsel
Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687
If options 1, 2, 3, or 4 are chosen, please send your payment or response to the following address:
Mr. Robert Farmer
Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources
Division of Environmental Management
Water Quality Section
Post Office Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a date stamp (not a
postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter being referred to the
Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the penalty.
If it is not demonstrated to us that your conduct of the permitted activity has ceased or will cease by
the permit expiration date, failure to apply for a permit extension within 30 days of receipt of this letter will
result in the assessment of additional penalties. If the permit expired or expires prior to the permit
reissuance, the permittee will be subject to additional penalties for the operation of a wastewater treatment
facility without a permit.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Robert Farmer at 91gn33-5083,
ext. 531.

ENGINEERING PROPOSAL
Proposed Restaurant & Future Motel
TRANSYLVANIA EVERGREEN CORP.
U.S.-64 at Morgan Mill Creek
Transylvania County
1. Waste to be treated before discharge will be domestic
wastewater, 4100o gallons per day, from the proposed 100-seat
restaurant (40 GPD per seat), and 41800 gallons per day from the
future motel and laundry (120 GPD per room) for a total of 9,800
gallons per day.
2. Waste treatment and disposal options that were considered
include septic tank/nitrification field, extended aeration
(package plant) with discharge to the nearby stream or land
• application, grinder pumps and force main to the Town of Rosman
WWTP, and septic tanks with effluent pumped to the Rosman WWTP.
3. The selected treatment and disposal option is a 10,000 GPD
Extended Aeration Package Plant. Since the governing Board of
the Town of Rosman has formally declined to accept the wastewater
in the Town's plant, and the site is only 1.25 acres, with no
additional land available nearby, the Package Plant with
discharge to surface waters is,the reasonably cost effective
option.
4. Location and Site maps are attached.
5. The determination of the financial qualifications of my
clients is not within the realm of my Professional Engineering
practice. Any information as to financial qualifications and his
record on the environment must be furnished directly by him, the
bank, the courts, or an investigative agency.
6. -Low flow fixtures, consistent with the needs of a commercial
restaurant serving the public, will be used to reduce the flow to
the plant.

Return #853
Transylvania County
The Division received your NPDES permit application on February 28, 1997. A preliminary
review of the submitted application indicated that no engineering alternatives analysis was provided. Title
15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2H .0105 (c) (2) requires submittal of an Engineering
Alternatives Analysis with all new applications for discharge. Also, a $400 application processing fee
must be submitted with the application package. Therefore; the application is being returned to you. You
may resubmit this application at your convenience with the required fee and alternatives analysis.
As you are aware, it is the Division's mandate to permit the most environmentally sound
wastewater treatment system of the reasonably cost effective alternatives. Subsurface or irrigated disposal
systems are typically considered to be more environmentally sound alternatives than discharge options. In
that light, the engineering alternatives analysis is meant to provide justification for a surface water
discharge alternative through a comparison of that alternative with other non -discharge options.
Enclosed is a copy of the Division's Guidance for the Evaluation of Wastewater Disposal
Alternatives. In preparing the alternatives analysis, the engineer should identify all possible disposal
alternatives. Once all alternatives have been identified, they should be evaulated from both a technical as
well as economic standpoint. As part of the analysis of land -based disposal alternatives, a detailed soil
scientist report should be provided. The soil scientist report should include at a minimum the following.
Pieces of information:
• a copy of field notes and boring log information
• a soils site map overlain on a topographic map
• description of soils characteristics to include texture, structure, soil wetness and mineralogy
• characterization of the depth of soil to 48" or to a restrictive horizon
• soil loading rate recommendations.
The on -site soil survey should include enough soil borings to adequately characterize the site.
Additionally, justification should be provided on the number and location of soil borings completed.

An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper

Generalized county soil survey maps are not adequate for the evaluation, but may be used as a reference
tool to plan the field work required for the evaluation.
The economic analysis should include a present value of costs determination for each identified
alternative as outlined in the attached guidance document. All costs used for the present worth analyses
should be referenced with cost sources included as attachments.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Mark McIntire of my staff at (919)

The subject permit expires on 950831. North Carolina General Stature 143.215.1(c) requires that an application for
l®rmit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date. As of the date of this letter, the Division of
rvironmental Management has not received an application for renewal. If continuation of the permit is desired,
failure to request renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration will result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00.
Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If operation of a discharge or waste treatment facility is to occur after the expiration date of the permit, or if
continuation of the permit is desired, it must not be allowed to expire. Operation of the waste treatment works or
continuation of a discharge after the expiration date would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in
assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
A renewal application shall consist of the following information:
1. A letter requesting the renewal.
2. The completed application form (copy attached), signed and submitted in triplicate.
3. A processing fee (see attached schedule) in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b). The application processing fee
is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate.
4. Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 122 shall also submit a
priority pollutant analysis in accordance with Part 122.21.
5. Facilities which have not been constructed within the last permit cycle and are therefore, considered "new"
facilities, shall also submit an Engineering Alternatives Analysis, referenced in 15A NCAC Subchapter 2H .0103 and
Subchapter 2B .0201(c).
6. If the facility covered by this permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative description of the sludge
management plan must be submitted with the application for renewal.
In addition to penalities referenced above, a permit renewal request received after the expiration date will be
isnsidered as a new application and will require the higher application fee.
15A NCAC 2H .0105(b)(2) requires payment of an annual Administrative and Compliance Monitoring fee for most
permitted facilities. You will be belied sc ara,el lo, ',hat foe (if applicable), after our, emit is approved.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33
USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled
and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during
such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days
the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average"
in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found
each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

Part H
Page 2 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month
on which daily discharges are- sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of
the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count
for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
"Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount
of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged
over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the
sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is
identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.

Part II
Page 3 of 14
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded
during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling,
when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility'. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no now
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Tvnes of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the
sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by
use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment
system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of
flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time
of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time
intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the
detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval
between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less
than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of
the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric
mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual
values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).

Part II
Page 4 of 14
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably
represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.

daily, excluding weekends and holidays, and must properly manage and document daily
operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title
15A, Chapter 8A .0202. Once the facility is classified, the permittee shall submit a letter to the
Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible charge within thirty
days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50% complete.

Part II
Page 8 of 14
2. Proper Qperation and Maintenance
The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of
treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to
achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also
includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This
provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are
installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the
conditions of the permit.
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
condition of this permit.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or
operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to
the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and
permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be.expected to occur in the
absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by
delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to
be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;
including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
. required in Part H, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action
against a permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal

Part II
Page 9 of 14
periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup
equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering
judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment
downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors
beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance
to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities,
inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper
operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this
permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this
permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset
has the burden of proof.
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

Part II
Page 10 of 14
regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503,
any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be
reopened and modified; or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40
CFR Part 503. The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the
Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the
regulation, even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee
shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal
practices.
7. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM
Regulation, Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability,
to prevent the.discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power
failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of
inadequately treated effluent.
SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS
1. Representative Sam liing
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the
volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily
shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period
which the sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in
this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other
wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without
notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority.
.7 .
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month
and reported on a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (DEM No. MR 1,1.1, 2,
3) or alternative forms approved by the Director, DEM, postmarked no later than the 30th day
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:
Division of Environmental Management
Water Quality Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
Post Office Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
Appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific
practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of
the volume of monitored discharges. The devices shall be installed, calibrated and maintained
to ensure that the accuracy of the measurements are consistent with the accepted capability of
that type of device. Devices selected shall be capable of measuring flows with a maximum
deviation of less than + 10% from the true discharge rates throughout the range of expected

Part II
Page 11 of 14
discharge volumes. Once -through condenser cooling water flow which is monitored by pump
logs, or pump hour meters as specified in Part I of this permit and based on the manufacturer's
pump curves shall not be subject to this requirement.
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published
pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to
regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act, as Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136; or in the case of sludge use or
disposal, approved under 40 CFR 136, unless otherwise specified in 40 CFR 503, unless
other test procedures have been specified in this permit.
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce
minimum 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.
5. Penalties for Tampering
The Clean Water Act 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.
