of disinfection is required. Total Residual Chlorine monitoring requirements and limits are applicable if
chlorine compounds are used for disinfection.

Permit NCO(
A. (4.) TEMPORARY MEANS OF DISINFECTION
In the event that the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system should fail,
underperform, or otherwise be removed from effective service, the permittee or his agent should
immediately inform the Surface Water Protection. Section staff of the Asheville Regional Office of this
development and discuss temporary, alternate means for disinfection of the effluent.
If chlorine compounds are used as temporary means of disinfection, the total residual chlorine (TRC)
concentration of the effluent must be monitored on a daily basis while this method of disinfection is in
use and values must be reported on the discharge monitoring report. TRC in the effluent may not
exceed 28 µg/L; therefore, dechlorination methods may also be necessary to ensure protection of water
quality in the receiving stream.
Use of a disinfection system other than the permitted UV system during circumstances not deemed as
emergency and/or temporary (replacement of lamps, lamp cleaning or maintenance, etc.) will be
considered a violation of the terms of this permit.
The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 µg/L to be in compliance with
the permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values reported by a North
Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall below 50 µg/L.

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

QDES Permit Standard
R
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour pi
constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may
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).

Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization.
This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T
.0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government
organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges
to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW
treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of
POTW maybe 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:
I . Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary,
noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs 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

Permit NCO065889
A. (4.) TEMPORARY MEANS OF DISINFECTION
In the event that the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system should fail,
underperform, or otherwise be removed from effective service, the permittee or his agent should
immediately inform the Surface Water Protection Section staff of the Asheville Regional Office of this
development and discuss temporary, alternate means for disinfection of the effluent.
If chlorine compounds are used as temporary means of disinfection, the total residual chlorine (TRC)
concentration of the effluent must be monitored on a daily basis while this method of disinfection is in
use and values must be reported on the discharge monitoring report. TRC in the effluent may not
exceed 28 µglL; therefore, dechlorination methods may also be necessary to ensure protection of water
quality in the receiving stream.
Use of a disinfection system other than the permitted,UV system during circumstances not deemed as
emergency and/or temporary (replacement of lamps, lamp cleaning or maintenance, etc.) will be
considered a violation of the terms of this permit.

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
B-ypass
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 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 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

monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" for conventional and other non -toxicant parameters. NOTE: Permittees may not
submit a "daily average" calculation [for determining compliance with permit limits] for toxicants. See the relevant
Federal effluent guideline[s] for the appropriate calculation interval.
Dail S�ampluig
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of die week
for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWO or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC

the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph c.
(1) of this section.
U sets
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.
b. 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

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 die 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 die
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 —
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
Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of
die 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 Audiority [40 CFR 122.410)].

A. (3.) TEMPORARY MEANS Old DISINFECTION
In the event that the wastewater treatm nt plant's ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system should fail,
underperform, or otherwise be remove from effective service, the permittee or his agent should
immediately inform the Surface Wate Protection Section staff of the Asheville Regional Office of this
development and discuss temporary, a ternate means for disinfection of the effluent.
If chlorine compounds are used as tenporary means of disinfection, the total residual chlorine (TRC)
concentration of the effluent must be onitored on a daily basis while this method of disinfection is in
use and values must be reported on th discharge monitoring report. TRC in the effluent may not
exceed 28 µg/L; therefore, dechlorina ion methods may also be necessary to ensure protection of water
quality in the receiving stream.
Use of a disinfection system other thaii the permitted UV system during circumstances not deemed as
emergency and/or temporary (replacement of lamps, lamp cleaning or maintenance, etc) will be
considered a violation of the terms ofj this permit.

SUMMARY
Catatoga at Lake Toxaway (Indian Creek Resort) is a golf and retirement community in
Transylvania County that is planning a future expansion from their existing 16 units to
approximately 400 units. Indian Creek Resort has applied for an expansion .at the Catatoga at
Lake Toxaway WWTP. This facility is currently permitted for 0.025 MGD and 0.1 MGD and
requests a permitted flow of 0.14 MGD. The EAA for the expansion was approved on
01/06/2006.
A level B model was performed to ensure the proposed flows would be protective of the 6 mg/L
instream D.O. standard. Based on the results of this model, secondary BOD limits will be
sufficiently protective, with ammonia limits instituted based on toxicity.

In response to the letter from Forest Westall. of June 27, 2002 regarding the installation of
a chlorine contact chamber for the above referenced WWTP, we are requesting an
Authorization to Construct for the following modifications:
1. Installation of a 520 gallons chlorine contact chamber with 30 minutes of contact time
at design capacity of 25,000 gpd. The chlorine tablet feeder is existing.
2. Installation of a dechlorination contact chamber with 1 minute of contact time at
design flow. Only 17.4 gallons capacity is needed; however the actual capacity is 120
gallons. The existing dechlorination tablet feeder will be relocated.
3. Installation of a 22.5° V-notch weir. Though not required, this will enable the
operator to evaluate flows at the plant. No secondary flow measurement device is
planned at this time.
We have included:
a) Letter designating Goldie & Associates as authorized representatives
b) Three sets of plans stamped "Final Plans Not for Construction"
c) Three sets of standard specifications.
d) Two sets of Design Calculations
e) Two copies of a Flow Schematic.
f) Construction Sequence Plan.

NPDES Permit NCO065889
Catatoga at Lake Toxaway
Transylvania County
Dear Mr. Lewis:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) has reviewed your Engineering Alternative Analysis (EAA) for
Catatoga at Lake Toxaway. The Division concurs with the conclusions and recommendations of the EAA.
The EAA you have submitted is sufficient to meet the Alternative Analysis requirements for an expanded
discharge.
The Division will proceed to modeling of the proposed discharge. After the model is completed and
effluent limits are calculated the new draft permit will be publicly notice in a regional newspaper. The entire
modeling and permitting process may take between 60 and 120 days. If the draft permit causes significant
protests from local citizens, governmental organizations, and/or environmental groups a public hearing
may be scheduled and issuance of the final permit may be further delayed. In some cases the Division may
deny the request for expansion based on the public hearing results. Therefore, you may want to consider
expansion to 0.1 MGD instead of 0.14 MGD since the former flow is already permitted.
If you have any questions concerning this issue, please contact me at telephone number [phone],
extension 594.
Sincerely,

Wastewater Treatment Plant
NPDES permit NCO065889

The subject wastewater treatment plant is currently permitted for 25,000 gallons per
day. This capacity is sufficient to treat the wastewater generated from the existing 13 homes
(2-3 bedrooms each), the maintenance shop, the office and the clubhouse. The additional 44
homes (2-3 bedrooms) would contribute an additional flow of approximately 15,840 gpd.
This is based on 3 bedrooms x 44 homes x 120 gallons per bedroom per day. Therefore, the
wastewater treatment has sufficient capacity for the existing homes, as well as, the expansion
of the development by 44 homes.

Per our phone conversation on the 16th of February, I am writing to request a
modification to NPDES permit # NCO065889 for the Indian Creek Resort WWTP. We
would like the 6.14MGD allowance for the maximum daily discharge to be modified to
allow for a 0.07MGD phase in addition to the final 0.14MGD discharge permit. We are
requesting to keep the same treatment limits as in the original 0.14MGD permit for both

Dear Mr. Nowell:
The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on January 4, 2007. We need one additional item in order
to process your permit renewal:
Solids handling and disposal. How often are solids (sludge) removed from your facility? How are solids
disposed after removal?
A member of the NPDES Unit will review your application. That staff member will contact you if additional
information is required to complete your permit renewal. You should expect to receive a draft permit approximately 30-45
days before your existing permit expires. The requirements in your existing permit will remain in effect until the permit
is renewed (or the Division takes other action).
If you have any additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact me at [phone],

See Condition A. (4.) for instructions should the facility's permitted UV system fail and an
alternate means of disinfection is required. Total Residual Chlorine monitoring requirements
and limits are applicable if chlorine Compounds are used for disinfection.
A. (4.) TEMPORARY MEANS OF DISINFECTION
[NCGS 143-215.3 (a)(2)]
In the event that the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system should
fail, underperform, or otherwise be removed from effective service, the permittee or his agent
should immediately inform the Surface Water Protection Section staff of the Asheville
Regional Office of this development and discuss temporary, alternate means for disinfection
of the effluent.
If chlorine compounds are used as temporary means of disinfection, the total residual -
chlorine (TRC) concentration of the effluent must be monitored on a daily basis while, this
method of disinfection is in use and values must be reported on the discharge monitoring
report. TRC in the effluent may not exceed 28 µg/L; therefore, dechlorination methods may
also be necessary to ensure protection of water quality in the receiving stream.
Use of a disinfection system other than the permitted UV system during circumstances not
deemed as emergency and/or temporary (replacement of lamps, lamp cleaning or
maintenance, etc.) will be considered a violation of the terms of this permit.
The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 µg/L to be in
compliance with the permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all
values reported by a North Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified), even if
these values fall below 50 µg/L.

NPDES Permit NC
The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC I
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 internet.
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.
The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to
Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below).
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(l) (9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient at
the time of each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website
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

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.

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

wastestreams with a closed cup flashpoint of less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 degrees Centigrade
using the test methods specified in 40 CFR 261.21;
(2) Pollutants which cause corrosive structural damage to the POTW, but in no case discharges with pH lower
than 5.0, unless the works is specifically designed to accommodate such discharges;
(3) Solid or viscous pollutants in amounts which cause obstruction to the flow in the POTW resulting in
Interference;
(4) Any pollutant, including oxygen demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.) released in a Discharge at a flow rate
and/or pollutant concentration which will cause Interference with the POTW;
(5) Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the POTW resulting in Interference, but in no
case heat in such quantities that the temperature at the POTW Treatment Plant exceeds 40°C (104°F)
unless the Division, upon request of the POTW, approves alternate temperature limits;
(6) Petroleum oil, non -biodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin in amounts that will cause
Interference or Pass Through;
(7) Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapors, or fumes within the POTW in a quantity that
may cause acute worker health and safety problems; or
(8) Any trucked or hauled pollutants, except at discharge points designated by the POTW.
c. The Permittee shall investigate the source of all discharges into the POTW, including slug loads and other
unusual discharges, which have the potential to adversely impact the Permittee's Pretreatment Program and/or
the operation of the POTW.
The Permittee shall report such discharges into the POTW to the Director or the appropriate Regional Office.
Any information shall be provided orally within 24 hours from the time the Permittee became aware of the
circumstances. A written submission shall also be provided within 5 days of the time the Permittee becomes
aware of the circumstances. The written submission shall contain a description of the discharge; the

Wastewater Treatment System Performance Report
for
Indian Creek Resort, LLC WWTP
for the Operating Period
January thru December, 2012
Preface
RECE; V L
APR 12 2013
Asheville Realon.ril Offfilce
On July 20 1999, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified House Bill 1160, the Clean
Water Act of 1999, which place significant new reporting requirements on those entities that
own or operate wastewater treatment and collection systems. Specific items included:
1. A Spill Response Plan
2. Sewer Collection System Operation & Maintenance Plan
3. Annual Performance Report
These new requirements became effective October 1, 1999.
This report is designed to meet the minimum requirements for the Annual Performance Report
established by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DEHNR)
as set forth in their guidance document dated October 19, 1999.
This law was established to provide a mechanism for public oversight (and hopefully, to instill
public confidence) in owners and operators of wastewater treatment sysl
to protect the waters of the state.

Preface
On July 20 1999, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified House Bill 1160, the Clean
Water Act of 1999, which place significant new reporting requirements on those entities that
own or operate wastewater treatment and collection systems. Specific items included:
1. A Spill Response Plan
2. Sewer Collection System Operation & Maintenance Plan
3. Annual Performance Report
These new requirements became effective October 1, 1999.
This report is designed to meet the minimum requirements for the Annual Performance Report
established by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DEHNR)
as set forth in their guidance document dated October 19, 1999.
This law was established to provide a mechanism for public oversight (and hopefully, to instill
public confidence) in owners and operators of wastewater treatment systems and in their efforts
to protect the waters of the state.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
11-18-2005 by Jim Reid and Starr Silvis.
The permit expires on 8-31-2007. The permit renewal request was received in Raleigh on January 4, 2007.
The Annual Performance Report has been filed for the year 2006.
A complete copy of the current permit was on site. The operations logbook and maintenance logbook were
on -site and had good notation of daily and routine maintenance events.
The aeration basin process control data was as follows, on the day of the inspection.
Temperature = 12.9 degrees Celcius
pH = 6.3 units
Dissolved Oxygen = 5.4 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 = 180 ml/I = 18 %
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.
The effluent data was as follows, on the day of the inspection.
Dissolved Oxygen = 5.4 mg/l
pH = 6.5 units
Temperature = 13.1 degrees Celcius
Chlorine = n/a (UV disinfection)
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.

Concerning the BOD Exceedance dated April 13, 2006. The Wastewater Plant had been
shut down from March 16, 2006 until April 10, 2006 because of electrical problems. The
blowers were out of service. An electrician was called and a new control panel was
ordered and installed on April 9, 2006 and the plant was put back into operations. The
plant had very little time to recover before samples were pulled on April 13, 2006. The
BOD was only 2.7 mg/1 above the limit. The following week the BOD was 2.07 mg/l and
has been within limits since then.
We believe by installing the new control panel and some of the electrical wiring that we
have corrected the cause of the BOD exceedance.
While the Wastewater Treatment Plant was shut down. The plant was pumped and the
wastewater was transported to the Fletcher Warehousing Wastewater Plant for disposal.
We also request that a copy of any Notices for Indian Creek Resort should be sent to
Henry Dyar, Operations Manager at Goldie & Associates, 210 W. North Second Street,
Seneca, SC 29678.
If you have any questions, please call me at [phone] ext. 105.

and void the previous permit in the language!
Denying a Project
♦ If the Reviewer/Supervisor determines that an application package should be denied because it can
not meet NC Statutes, rules or regulations, then a denial letter should be drafted. Special attention -
should be paid to the statutory deadline for permitting. If it is thought that a project might be
denied, it is important to review it and draft the denial letter as soon as possible. There must
be time allowed for the denial letter to be sent up to the Director and signed prior to the
statutory date.
♦ The Reviewer should use the Application Denial Letter template to prepare a denial package for the
Supervisor's review and submittal to the Director for signature. The letter should not be dated, but
instead will be dated after the Director signs it. A memo to the Director should be attached to the top
of the denial package summarizing the reasons for denial. This package must be singed off on by the
reviewer, supervisor, Section Chief, and Director. Distribute the letter as directed in "Issuing a
Permit" below.
Issuing a Permit
♦ Permits should be signed only by those delegated to sign for the Director.
♦ Permits should be distributed as follows (include the signed Operational Agreement if applicable):
✓ Original to the Permittee
✓ Copy to the consulting engineer

WITNESSETH:
, a corporation/general
The DEVELOPER is the owner of the certain lands lying in Transylvania County, upon
which it is erecting and will erect dwelling units and other improvements, said development to be known
as Catatoga - Hawk's Ridge
(hereinafter the Development).
2. The DEVELOPER desires, to construct a wastewater collection system with pumps, wastewater treatment
works, and/or disposal facilities (hereinafter Disposal System) to provide sanitary sewage disposal to serve
the Development on said lands.
3. The DEVELOPER has applied to the COMMISSION for the issuance of a permit pursuant to G.S. 143-
215.1 to construct, maintain, and operate the Disposal System.
4. The DEVELOPER has created or shall create unit ownership in said dwellings units, other improvements
and lands through filing of a Declaration of Unit Ownership (hereinafter Declaration), pursuant to Chapter
47C or 47F of the North Carolina General Statutes.
5. The DEVELOPER has caused to be formed or will cause to be formed at the time of filing of the
Declaration, the (Enter Proposed Unit Owners' Association) Indian Creek Resort, LLC (hereinafter
Association), a non-profit corporation organized and existing under and by the virtue of the laws of the
State of North Carolina, for the purpose, among others, of handling the property, affairs and business of
the Development; of operating, maintaining, re -constructing and repairing the common elements of the
lands and improvements subject to unit ownership, including the Disposal System; and of collecting dues
and assessments to provide funds for such operation, maintenance, re -construction and repair.
6. The COMMISSION desires to assure that the Disposal System of the Development is properly
constructed, maintained and operated in accordance with law and permit provisions in order to protect the
quality of the waters of the State and the public interest therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the benefits to be derived by each of the parties
hereto, the COMMISSION and DEVELOPER do hereby mutually agree as follows:
1. The DEVELOPER shall construct the Disposal System in accordance with the permit and plans and
specifications hereafter issued and approved by the COMMISSION, and shall thereafter properly operate
and maintain such systems and facilities in accordance with applicable permit provisions and law.
2. The DEVELOPER shall not transfer ownership and/or control of the Disposal System to the Association
until construction has been completed in accordance with the permit and approved plans, and the staff of
the Division of Water Quality has inspected and approved of the facilities. In order to change the name of
the permit holder, the DEVELOPER must request that the permit be reissued to the Association. The
request must include a copy of the Association Bylaws and Declaration.
3. The DEVELOPER shall not transfer, convey, assign or otherwise relinquish or release its responsibility
for the operation and maintenance of its Disposal System until a permit has been reissued to the
DEVELOPER's successor.

Pre DEVELOPER shall provide in the Declaration and Association Bylaws that the Disposal System and
appurtenances thereto are part of the common elements and shall thereafter be properly maintained and
operated in conformity with law and the provisions of the permit for construction, operation, repair, and
maintenance of the system and facilities. The Declaration and Bylaws shall identify the entire wastewater
treatment, collection and disposal system as a common element which will receive the highest priority for
expenditures by the Association except for Federal, State, and local taxes and insurance.
The DEVELOPER shall provide in the Declaration and Association Bylaws that the Disposal System will
be maintained out of the common expenses. In order to assure that there shall be funds readily available to
repair, maintain or construct the Disposal System, beyond the routine operation and maintenance
expenses, the Declaration and Association Bylaws shall provide that a fund be created out of the common
expenses. Such fund shall be separate from the routine maintenance funds allocated for the facility and
shall be part of the yearly budget.
6. In the event the common expense allocation and separate fund are not adequate for the construction, .
repair, and maintenance of the Disposal System, the Declaration and Association Bylaws shall provide for
special assessments to cover such necessary costs. There shall be no limit on the amount of such
assessments, and the Declaration and Bylaws shall provide that such special assessments can be made as
necessary at any time.
7. If a wastewater collection system and wastewater treatment and/or disposal facility provided by any city,
town, village, county, water and sewer authorities, or other unit of government shall hereinafter become
available to serve the Development, the DEVELOPER shall take such action as is necessary to cause the
existing and future wastewater of the Development to be accepted and discharged into said governmental
system, and shall convey or transfer as much of the Disposal System and such necessary easements as the
governmental unit may require as condition of accepting the Development's wastewater.
8. Recognizing that it would be contrary to the public interest and to the public health, safety and welfare for
the Association to enter into voluntary dissolution without having made adequate provision for the
continued proper maintenance, repair and operation of its Disposal System, the DEVELOPER shall
provide in the Association Bylaws that the Association shall not enter into voluntary dissolution without
first having transferred its said system and facilities to some person, corporation or other entity acceptable
to and approved by the COMMISSION by the issuance of a permit.
9. The agreements set forth in numbered paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 above shall be conditions of any
permit issued by the COMMISSION to the DEVELOPER for the construction, maintenance, repair and
operation of the Disposal System.
10. A copy of this agreement shall be filed at the Register of Deeds in the County(ies) where the Declaration
is filed and in the offices of the Secretary of State of North Carolina with the Articles of Incorporation of
the Association.
