Dear Mr. Gibbs:
Division staff has confirmed that the subject permit is no longer required, as this facility has connected to the City
of Marion's sewer collection system. Therefore, in accordance with your request, NPDES Permit NCO077801 is
rescinded, effective immediately.
If in the future you wish to again discharge wastewater from your business to the State's surface waters, you must
first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit. Discharge of wastewater without a valid NPDES permit may
subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to 525,000 per day.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Charles Weaver of my staff at the telephone number or
address listed below. You may also contact the Asheville Regional Office at [phone].

Dear Mr. Gibbs:
On November 8, 2002 Mr. Roy Davis and I performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection
at the Gibbs Motel and Restaurant WWTP. The purpose of the inspection was to determine the
compliance status of the facility. A copy of the inspection report is enclosed for your records.
During the inspection it was observed that the WWTP appeared to be operating well. There
was no discharge at the time of the inspection. Two (2) tubes of chlorine were in use on the
chlorinator and two (2) tubes on the dechlorinator. The- aerator was operational. Adequate
records were maintained on site. The WWTP was therefore determined to be compliant.
Finally, I understand from the McDowell County Managers -Office that the Pleasant Garden
sewer project is nearing completion and therefore a few reminders are appropriate.
• Ensure that all the facilities currently served by the WWTP are tied into the sewer,
including the mobile home located on the hill behind the WWTP.
• A closure plan for the WWTP should be developed with the assistance of your operator
and approved by this Office prior to closure.

Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report
Gibbs Motel
NPDES 9: NCO077801
Date: 2/ 10/03
We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report.
This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to
the receiving waters every day. Our constant goal is to protect the environmental waters
of North Carolina. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve
the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to
ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wastewater utility, please
contact Morris Trammel at [phone]. We want our valued customers to be
informed about their wastewater utility.
Let us first take this opportunity to give you a brief description of a Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and ends
up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large
particles that are present (i.e., rags and papers). The water then goes to an aeration basin
where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the
solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out.
The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to
feed. When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a
digester tank. In the digester, the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the solids'
volume. When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped from the tank and taken to a
larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for disinfection. The
two most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and ultraviolet light.
Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is used, there is
generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the wastewater
before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light (UV) is used, the wastewater
flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed to UV light, so as the
water passes the UV bulbs, the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection, the treated
wastewater goes into the receiving waters.

PERFORMANCE
The treatment plant did very well last year. We are very pleased to report that there were
no violations for the entire year. All of the samples that were taken for the plant were
under the limits set be the State Division of Water Quality.
NOTIFICATION
This annual report has been sent to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and to
the owner of the wastewater system. The wastewater system owner has also been given a
letter that they can easily distribute to all their customers. The letter will inform the
customers that the annual report is available upon request to the owner of the system.
CERTIFICATION
I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best of my
knowledge. I further certify that this report has been made available to the users or
customers of the named system and that those users have been notified of its availability as

The treatment plant did very well last year. For the whole year, the plant was non-
compliant for only six days. Granted, being compliant for all 365 days is the goal; some
circumstances can not be prevented. These non-compliance's were for daily maximum
limits, and the treatment plant was in compliance with its monthly average limits for the
entire year.
The treatment plant was in compliance for May, June, August, September, October,
November, and December.
In January, the plant had a daily maximum non-compliance for TSS and fecal coliform.
Some solids got washed into the chlorine contact chamber and out into the effluent. The
solids were pumped to the aeration basin and the plant was back in compliance by the
very next samples.
In February, the plant had a daily maximum non-compliance for TSS. Some solids got
washed into the chlorine contact chamber and out into the effluent. The solids were
pumped to the aeration basin and the plant was back in compliance by the very next
sample.
In March, the plant had a daily maximum non-compliance for fecal coliform. The
chlorine was adjusted, and the plant was back in compliance by the very next sample.
In April, the plant had one daily maximum non-compliance's for fecal coliform. The
chlorine was adjusted, and the plant was back in compliance by the very next sample.

On October 9, 2001 1 performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection the Gibbs Motel and
Restaurant wastewater treatment plant. The purpose of the inspection was to determine the
compliance status of the facility. Ms. Tamara Dawsey, of Water Quality Services, assisted me
during the inspection. Her assistance and attention to detail are greatly appreciated.
During a review of your permit it was discovered that a flow totalizer and recorder are
required, however none is present. I have contacted the NPDES Permitting Unit in Raleigh and
have requested direction from them on this requirement. I will inform you of the results of the
inquiry as soon as possible. I also observed that the clarifier sludge return was plugged and
sludge was floating in the clarifier. Adjacent trees losing their leaves into the plant caused the
plug. You may consider removing overhanging limbs to minimize leaves failing into the WWTP.
There were 2 tubes of chlorination in use and 2 tubes of dechlorination in use at the time of the
inspection.

Finally, the Division understands that the new Pleasant Garden Sewer Line will be serving
the motel and restaurant in the near future. We would like to recommend that you have the
sewer collection lines from the motel and restaurant inspected for inflow and infiltration problems
and repairs made as needed. We would also recommend installation of a grease trap on the
restaurant, if its not already been done, and institute a regular cleaning program for the trap.
Both will be required prior to tying onto the new Pleasant Garden Sewer Line and in the interim
will enhance the performance of the existing plant.

2. 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 the assessment letter. 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 that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and.

which you believe establishes whether:
(a) - one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282.1(b) was 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 been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission must
be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review the
information during a bimonthly enforcement conference and inform you of his
decision in the matter of the remission request. His response will provide details
regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for further appeal of the
-penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director and
therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement
in support of your request for remission.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority: The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEM or "the Division' Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment 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.
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.

Part lI
Page 2of11
6. 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.
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 flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the
flow device.
8. Types 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

Part II
Page 3 of 11
8. a. (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 andlog
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).
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 Da v: 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.
11. Hazardous Substance: 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)(l) of the Clean
Water Act.
SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. Duty to Comply
The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation
of the Clean Water Act and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance,
or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application.
a. The permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under section 307(a) of the
Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants and with standards for sewage sludge use or disposal established under
section 405(d) of the Clean Water Act within the time provided in the regulations that establish these
standards or prohibitions or standards for sewage sludge use or disposal, even if the permit has not yet been
modified to incorporate the requirement.

Part II
Page 4of11
1. b. The Clean Water Act provides that any person who violates a permit condition is subject to a civil penalty
not to exceed $25,000 per day for each violation. Any person who negligently violates any permit condition
is subject to criminal penalties of $2,500 to $25,000 per day of violation, or imprisonment for not more than
1 year, or both. Any person who knowingly violates permit conditions is subject to criminal penalties of
$5,000 to $50,000 per day of violation, or imprisonment for not more than 3 years, or both. Also, any person
who violates a permit condition may be assessed an administrative penalty not to exceed $10,000 per
violation with the maximum amount not to exceed $125,000. [Ref: Section 309 of the Federal Act 33 U.S.C.
1319 and 40 CFR 122.41 (a)]
c. Under state law, a civil penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per violation may be assessed
against any person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a
permit. [Ref: North Carolina General Statutes 5 143-215.6A]
Any person may be assessed an administrative penalty by the Administrator for violating section 301, 302,
306, 307, 308, 318, or 405 of the Act, or any permit condition or limitation implementing any of such
sections in a permit issued under section 402 of the Act. Administrative penalties for Class I violations are
not to exceed $10,000 per violation, with the maximum amount of any Class I penalty assessed not to exceed
$25,000. Penalties for Class II violations are not to exceed $10,000 per day for each day during which the
violation continues, with the maximum amount of any Class II penalty not to exceed $125,000.
2. Duty to Mitigate
The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize or prevent any discharge or sludge use or disposal in
violation of this permit which has a reasonable likelihood of adversely affecting human health or the
environment.
3. Civil and Criminal Liability

2. Proper Operation 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.
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.
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.

Part II
Page 7 of 11
4. 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 1I,
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 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.
,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.

5"ubject: NPDES Permit Renewal Application
Permit NCO077801.
Gibbs Motel and Restaurant
GMcDowell County
The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on April 10, 2001. Thank you for submitting
this package.
The permit renewal for this facility has been assigned to Charles Weaver. This staff member will contact
you if further information is needed to complete the permit renewal. Please note that the NPDES Unit has
several vacant positions. This staff shortage has lasted for over a year and is delaying all,permit renewals.
Our remaining permit writers are currently reviewing Authorizations to Construct, speculative limit requests,
major permit modifications and 201 plan updates ahead of permit renewals. This is necessary due to a
variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in the statutes which govern our program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NC0077801. the existing requirements in your permit will remain
in effect until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We appreciate your patience and
understanding while we operate with a severely depleted staff. If you have any additional questions
concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact Charles Weaver at [phone] extension 51.1.
Sincerely,
Valery Stephens

�dCompliance Sampling Inspection
�iGibbs Motel and Restaurant
NPDES Permit Number NCO077801
VMc Dowell County
On January 17, 2001, I conducted a Compliance Sampling Inspection
at the wastewater treatment plant serving Gibbs Motel and Restaurant.
A copy of the inspection report is enclosed for your information.
Grab samples collected during the inspection indicated compliance with
the effluent limitations in the permit.,
The total residual chlorine was measured at 50 ug/l, a possible
violation of the daily maximum permit limit of 28 ug/l. This is
considered a possible violation due to the uncertain precision of the
chlorimeter in this range. During the inspection, two tubes contained
chlorine tablets and one of the three dechlorination tubes contained
bisulfite tablets. A note was left in the operators log regarding the
deficiency and a follow up inspection was made on January 24, 2001, at
that time the total residual chlorine was within -the daily maximum
permit limit. The dechlorination tubes should be checked regularly to
be sure that the tablets are contacting the wastewater and their
effectiveness monitored at least two times per week, more frequent
monitoring may be required by the operator to ensure consistent
dechlorination.
If you have any questions concerning the Report, please do not
hesitate to contact me at [phone].

RE: Gibbs Motel and Restaurant
Notice of Violation
Dear Mr. Edwards,
Please find below our response to your letter dated June 5, 2000.
It is noted on the compliance inspection report that you have Larry Townsend as ORC.
We would like to apologize and let your office know that Johnny Rominger, Grade III,
Certification #11268, is operating in the McDowell County area. We will have the paper
work for operator change in the mail tomorrow, 7-18-00.
Mr. Edwards, we are not sure of what happened to cause such a high BOD. Our test
on the 9th of May, as you have noted is 2.8 mg/L for BOD and a increase to 13.4 mg/L on
the 16th. We know that Mr. Gibbs's plant has been hard to run in the past, and we are
trying to keep a close eye on it. We will require that Johnny runs a MLVSS at least twice
a month to stay ahead of this system.
if"'vu informai on, fillease do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
ti'�ATERLQ REGIONAL OFF�i

Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report
Gibbs Motel APR 1 S 2�Q0'
NPDES #: NCO077801 ' 1

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

The treatment plant did very well last year. For the whole year, the plant was non-
compliant for only two days. Granted, being compliant for all 365 days is the goal; some
circumstances can not be prevented. These non-compliance's were for daily maximum
limits, and the treatment plant was in compliance with its monthly average limits for the
entire year.
The treatment plant was in compliance for January, February, March, April, June, July,
September, October, and December.
In August, the plant had a daily maximum non-compliance for fecal coliform. The
chlorine was adjusted, and the plant was back in compliance by the very next sample.
In November, the plant had a daily maximum non-compliance for BOD. Some solids got
washed into the chlorine contact chamber and out into the effluent. The solids were
pumped to the aeration basin and the plant was back in compliance by the very next
sample.
NOTIFICATION
This annual report has been sent to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and to
the owner of the wastewater system. The wastewater system owner has also been given a
letter that they can easily distribute to all their customers. The letter will inform the
customers that the annual report is available upon request to the owner of the system.
CERTIFICATION
I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best of my
knowledge. I further certify that this report has been made available to the users or
customers of the named system and that those users have been notified of its availability
as per the NOTIFICATION section above.

Subject: Renewal of NPDES Permit NCO077801
GIBBS MOTEL AND RESTAURANT
MCDOWELL County
Dear Permittee:
The subject permit expires on April 30, 2000. North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC
2H.0105(e) requires that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration
of the current permit.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no
later than November 2, 1999. Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date will result in a civil
assessment of at least $250.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of
the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after April 30, 2000 (or if continuation of the permit is
desired), the current permit must be renewed. Operation of wastewater treatment works or
continuation of discharge after April 30, 2000 would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1
and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit,
contact Robert Farmer of the Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension

Subject: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
Compliance Sampling Inspection
Gibbs Motel and Restaurant
NPDES Permit Number NCO077801
Fowell County
Dear Mr. Gibbs:
A Compliance Sampling Inspection of the wastewater
treatment plant serving Gibbs Motel and Restaurant was
conducted on November 19, 1998. A copy of the inspection
report is enclosed for your information. Grab samples
collected during the inspection indicated compliance with
the effluent limitations in the permit.
The total residual chlorine was measured at 4b ug/l, a
possible violation of the daily maximum permit limit of 28
ug/1. This is considered a possible violation due to the
uncertain precision of the chlorimeter in this range.
During the inspection, two tubes contained chlorine tablets
and at least two of the three dechlorination tubes contained
bisulfite tablets. The dechlorination tubes should be
checked regularly to be sure that the tablets are contacting
the wastewater.
Several maintenance items were noted during the
inspection. The left blower needed new contacts - it would
only run in manual mode. On the right blower, the clock
needed adjusting and the air filter needed cleaning. The
air filters on the blowers should be cleaned on a quarterly
schedule.
The sludge holding tank had been pumped on November 16,
and was at a very low level. The 30-minute settleable
solids test was 82o in the aeration basin on the day of the
inspection. This is close to the recommended range of 40%
to 80a. The aeration basin Dissolved Oxygen (D.O.) measured
5.1 mg/1 with the right blower running. This is above the
recommended range of 1.0 mg/l to 3.0 mg/l. If the blowers
are operated to maintain the D.O. within the recommended
range, a decrease in power consumption can be expected.

You reported that the cracked and leaking sewer pipe across the
creek was repaired on November 20, 1998. I observed that the sewer
line serving the two trailers above the motel was patched with blue
tape. All of the sewer lines serving the trailers near the motel
should be checked regularly and repaired immediately if a leak is
observed. Discharges of raw sewage to the creek are not allowed,
and penalties can be assessed if such a discharge occurs.
The wooden plug wrapped with fabric in the clean out line for
the Little Sienna Restaurant needs to be replaced with a permanent
plug to prevent the sewer line from overflowing. Please call me
when this repair has been completed.
We discussed options for replacing the sewer line from the
Little Sienna Restaurant. A permit would be required to install
grinder pumps and a pump station. A permit would not be required
for replacement of the sewer line from the restaurant to the clean
out. If this option is selected, the condition of the sewer line
underneath the highway should be checked.
Should you have any questions or need assistance at anytime,
please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].

DEAR MR. PARKER,
PLEASE FIND BELOW OUR RESPONSE TO YOUR LETTER DATED MAY 12,
1997:
WE ARE NOT CERTAIN WHAT IIAPPENED ON MARCH THE 4TH, OUR
SAMPLES WERE ALSO HIGH, 19.65 BOD, 25.0 TSS, AND 660 FECAL. BEFORE
AND AFTER, THE RESULTS HAVE AVERAGED 3 TO 6 BOD.
THE SOLIDS FOUND ON THE CLARIFIER WAS CLEANED OFF AND PUMPED
SHORTLY AFTER YOUR VISIT. SOLIDS IN THE CHLORINE CONTACT
CHAMBER WAS PUMPED. THE BLOWER FILTERS HAVE BEEN CLEANED
AND THE BLOWER BELTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND CHECKED.
MR. GIBBS HAS PROMISED US WATER AT THE WASTE TREATMENT PLANT.
THIS WAY WE WILL BE ABLE TO BETTER CLEAN AND KEEP SOME ODOR
DOWN AND LARRY TOWNSEND HAS BEEN INSTRUCTED TO MAINTAIN THE
DO AND MAINTAIN THE MOTOR AND BLOWERS. WE HAVE BEEN ADDING
DECHLOR TO THE INFLUENT FOR ABOUT ONE YEAR AND THIS HAS
GREATLY HELPED OUR PROBLEM WITH CHLORINE FROM THE
RESTAURANT. MR. GIBBS IS ALSO WATCHING THE GREASE TRAP VERY
CAREFULLY AT THE RESTAURANT, AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
INFLUENT EQUALIZATION.

Dear Mr. Gibbs:
A Compliance Sampling Inspection of the wastewater treatment
.facility serving Gibbs Motel and Restaurant were conducted on March 4,
and 25, 1997. A copy of the inspection report and sample results, are
are enclosed for your information.
Observations made during the inspection found the clarifier
covered with a thick layer of sludge, the -chlorine contact tank was at
least half full of solids, solids were being lost in the effluent and
the plant had a septic odor. Also, the blower filters were in need of
cleaning and belts needed to be tightened and there were no belts on
the No. 2 blower. Effluent sample results indicate marginal results
for BOD and TSS and permit violations for fecal coliform.
It is apparent that the wastewater from the restaurant is having
an adverse impact on the wastewater treatment facility. It is
recommended that influent dechlorination and a flow equalization tank
be installed. Both of these treatment units should help improve the
operation of the wastewater treatment facility and effluent quality.

Mr. Roy M. Davis, Regional Supervisor

Asheville, NC 28801-2482
Dear Mr. Davis:
In reference to your letters dated May 15, 1995 regarding a compliance sampling
inspection on April 6, 1995 and a diagnostic inspection on April 25, 1995, 1 am
responding for Gibbs Motel (NC0077801) in an effort to resolve any problems which
your staff feel are important to achieve optimum treatment at the facility.
The data provided in the reports and the findings are somewhat confusing to me.
Since I was not contacted to meet with the inspectors and discuss troubleshooting
measures, I believe it would be advantageous to all parties involved, to meet at the
facility and discuss each item, comment, and suggestion related to this matter.
I have contacted an independent wastewater treatment consultant and have
scheduled a meeting for July 3, 1995 at 3:30pm at the facility. In order for a true
problem solving sequence to occur, I would like for the inspectors, Mr. Michael Parker
and Mr. Roger Edwards to attend this meeting.
In the meantime, I am asking that you delay any further action associated with this
matter until a joint meeting has taken place.
Please contact me at [phone] at your earliest convenience it you have any
questions.
Sincerely,

Compliance Sampling Inspection
Gibbs Motel and Restaurant
Wastewater Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit Number NCO077801
McDowell County
Dear Mr. Gibbs:
Compliance Sampling Inspections of the wastewater treatment
facility serving Gibbs Motel and Restaurant were conducted on April 6
and 25, 1995. A copy of the inspection reports and sample results,
which are listed on each report, are enclosed for your information..
You will note that NPDES Permit violations of the daily maximum
limitation for Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Total Suspended Solids and
Fecal Coliform were documented on April 25, 1995, and a violation of
the daily maximum limitation for Fecal Coliform was documented on April
6, 1995. Also, a violation of Section C.2 (page 8 of 14). of Discharge
Permit Number NCO077801 was documented. The cited section requires
proper facilities operation and maintenance at all times. The
following observations were made:
April 6, 1995
1. At least six (6) inches of sludge was in the chlorine contact tank.
This material should be removed and placed in the digester.
2. The digester had a black color and appeared to be septic. The air
line providing oxygen to this unit appeared to be turned off.
3. There was a foul odor from grease and solids on the ground. This
material should be cleaned up and disposed of properly.
4. There was a lot solids attached to side walls and piping. This
material should be washed down daily.

5. There was no operator log found on site. A daily log should be
maintained by the operator to include: date, signature, a list of
maitenance performed, process control tests results, etc.
April 25, 1995
1. Solids were measured in the chlorine contact tank approximately
(8) eight inches deep. These should be removed.and placed in the
digester.
2. Grease was observed to be floating on almost all surfaces of the
treatment plant. Grease should be removed from the grease trap at
regular intervals.
3. Thirty minute settleability test found the solids to be 98%, which
is excessive. The recommended range is 40 to 60 percent. It is
recommended that solids be wasted from the facility.
4. The digester was septic. This problem should be corrected.
5. The blower air filters were dirty and in need of cleaning or
replacing.
6. Piping and side walls were covered with accumulated solids. This
should be removed.
7. Potable water should be made available at the facility for
maintenance purposes.
8. The operator is required.to maintain a log book and leave it on
site.
Improper operation and maintenance was evidenced by heavy
accumulations of settled solids in the chlorine contact tank and the
de -chlorination tank. Reduced detention time (due to accumulated
solids) in the chlorine contact tank and inadequate chlorine dosage was
the probable cause of the high effluent coliform count. Additional
operator attention to this facility will be required if it is to
maintain compliance with NPDES Permit limits.
The Division of Environmental Management may implement enforcement
proceedings for each violation of an effluent limitation and each
violation of a permit condition. Those proceedings would be in
accordance with provisions of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6.
The Statute provides for administrative, civil and criminal sanctions.

actions have been implemented or are planned to correct the problems at
Gibbs Motel's treatment plant. If you have questions concerning this
or related matters, please contact Mr. Mike Parker at 704/251-6208.

Dear Mr. Davis:
In reference to your letters dated May 15, 1995 regarding a compliance sampling
inspection on April 6, 1995 and a diagnostic inspection on April 25, 1995, 1 am
responding for Gibbs Motel (NC0077801) in an effort to resolve any problems which
your staff feel are important to achieve optimum treatment at the facility.
The data provided in the reports and the findings are somewhat confusing to me.
Since 1 was not contacted to meet with the inspectors and discuss troubleshooting
measures, I believe it would be- advantageous to ail parties involved, to meet at the
facility and discuss each item, comment, and suggestion related to this alaiter.
I have contacted an independent wastewater treatment consultant and have
scheduled a meeting for July 3, 1995 at 3:30pm at the facility. In order for a true
problem solving sequence to occur, I would like for the inspectors, Mr. Michael Parker
and Mr. Roger Edwards to attend this meeting.
In the meantime, 1 am asking that you delay any further action associated with this
matter until a joint meeting has taken place.
Please contact me at [phone] at your earliest convenience it you have any
questions.
Sincerely,

Compliance Sampling Inspection
Gibbs Motel and Restaurant
Wastewater Treatment Plant
v NPDES Permit Number NCO077801
McDowell County
Dear Mr. Gibbs:
Compliance Sampling Inspections of the wastewater treatment
facility serving Gibbs Motel and Restaurant were conducted on April 6
and 25, 1995. A copy of the inspection reports and sample results,
which are listed on each report, are enclosed for your information..
You will note that NPDES Permit violations of the daily maximum
limitation for Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Total Suspended Solids and
Fecal Coliform were documented on April 25, 1995, and a violation of
the daily maximum limitation for Fecal Coliform was documented on April
6, 1995. Also, a violation of Section C.2 (page 8 of 14). of Discharge
Permit Number NCO077801 was documented. The cited section requires
proper facilities operation and maintenance at all times. The
following observations were made:
April 6, 1995
1. At least six (6) inches of sludge was in the chlorine contact tank.
This material should be removed and placed in the digester.
2. The digester had a black color and appeared to be septic. The air
line providing oxygen to this unit appeared to be turned off.
3. There was a foul odor from grease and solids on the ground. This
material should be cleaned up and disposed of properly.
4. There was a lot solids attached to side walls and piping. This
material should be washed down daily.

5. There was no operator log found on site. A daily log should be
maintained by the operator to include: date, signature, a list of
maitenance performed, process control tests results, etc.
April 25, 1995
1. Solids were measured in the chlorine contact tank approximately
(8) eight inches deep. These should be removed.and placed in the
digester.
2. Grease was observed to be floating on almost all surfaces of the
treatment plant. Grease should be removed from the grease trap at
regular intervals.
3. Thirty minute settleability test found the solids to be 98%, which
is excessive. The recommended range is 40 to 60 percent. It is
recommended that solids be wasted from the facility.
4. The digester was septic. This problem should be corrected.
5. The blower air filters were dirty and in need of cleaning or
replacing.
6. Piping and side walls were covered with accumulated solids. This
should be removed.
7. Potable water should be made available at the facility for
maintenance purposes.
8. The operator is required.to maintain a log book and leave it on
site.
Improper operation and maintenance was evidenced by heavy
accumulations of settled solids in the chlorine contact tank and the
de -chlorination tank. Reduced detention time (due to accumulated
solids) in the chlorine contact tank and inadequate chlorine dosage was
the probable cause of the high effluent coliform count. Additional
operator attention to this facility will be required if it is to
maintain compliance with NPDES Permit limits.
The Division of Environmental Management may implement enforcement
proceedings for each violation of an effluent limitation and each
violation of a permit condition. Those proceedings would be in
accordance with provisions of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6.
The Statute provides for administrative, civil and criminal sanctions.,

Mr. W. B. Gibbs, Jr.

Fecal Coliform est. count 103,000/100 ml
Ammonia Nitrogen (NH3) 0.4 mg/1
Oil & Grease 12 mg/1
Findings:
The facility was producing an effluent with a biochemical
oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS) greater than
the influent. Solids were visible in the receiving stream from
the point of entry for approximately ten (10) feet downstream.
The chlorine contact chamber had an accumulation of eight (8)
inches of solids with rising clumps. Solids had accumulated
along the bottom of the chlorination unit and the de -chlorination
unit. The clarifier contained one (1) foot of compacted solids,
six (6) feet of liquid/solids combination, and 1.5 feet of liquid
with fine suspended solids.' The clarifier surface was mostly
covered with a greasy scum. The aeration basin had a good color,
light tan, with grease visible. The mixed liquor suspended
solids (MLSS) and mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS)
were within recommended range. The 30 minute settleability was
980 ml/1 or 98 percent, which is excessive. The recommended range
is 40 to 60 percent, however some facilities operate better at
higher percentages. The facility piping located above the water
line was covered with accumulated solids. This is an attraction
for insects and rodents. The digester was septic which indicates
that proper operational procedures are not being followed. The
mechanical blowers were in need of an additional drive belt (each
had only one (1). The air filters were dirty which can result in
a reduction of air being delivered to the aeration basin.

Mr. Gibbs
May 15, 1995

Suggestions:
The facility must be operated to produce an effluent that is
in compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Permit. The operator in responsible charge of a
Class II or higher facility is required to visit the facility at
least five (5) days per week, excluding holidays. To operate the
facility in compliance, the facility must have a solids
management plan. To develop this plan process control analysis
must be preformed; example 30 minute settleability, MLSS, MLVSS,
dissolved oxygen (D.O.), and pH. These are basic operational
process control which will allow the operator to determined where
the treatment facility will produce the best quality effluent,
when to waste solids to the digester to prevent solids loss in
the effluent. I suggest using the Sludge Volume Index (SVI) as
an operational control and a method to determined wasting. The
formula for SVI is:
SVI= settleable solids o X 10,000
mixed liquor suspended solids, mg/1
The excessive grease in the treatment.facility causes
increased organic loading and settleability problems. The grease
trap must be maintained. When cleaning the grease trap the
pumper should remove only grease from the trap not the liquid.
The accumulated solids must be removed from the piping and side
walls to prevent the attraction of insects and rodents. These
solids can be removed with water spray by installing a potable
water supply at the treatment facility, placing a pump in the
effluent after de -chlorination or placing a pump in the stream
beside the treatment facility. The solids in the chlorine
contact chamber must be pumped to the digester and the
chlorination and de -chlorination units be cleaned of excess
solids. The mechanical blowers must have the air filters cleaned
or replaced to allow the equipment to preform as designed. The
drive belts that connect the blowers to the electric motors
should be purchased in matched pairs to.allow two (2) belts per
unit as appears to be the design of the units. The operator must
maintain a logbook with the date and time of the visit and
process control analysis preformed. I suggest maintenance
performed and unusual occurrences at the facility be logged as
well.

The facility must be operated in compliance with your NPDES Permit. The operator is required to visit the facility five (5) days per week excluding holidays.
Process control analysis must be preformed to develop a solids management plan and to produce the best effluent quality. I suggest using the formula for Sludge
Volume Index (SVI).
Solids must be removed from the chlorine contact chamber to prevent further loss of solids in the effluent.
Accumulated solids on piping and side walls of the facility must be removed to reduce the attraction of insects and rodents.
The grease trap must be maintained by pumping the accumulated grease from the trap on a schedule to prevent grease from entering the treatment facility. Care
should be taken when pumping to insure the removal of the grease, not the liquid contents only.
The mechanical blowers must have the air filters cleaned or replaced to allow the equipment to operate properly. The drive belts for each unit should be
purchased in matched pairs, as it appears that each unit was designed to use two (2) belts.

Dear Mr. Gibbs:
As per our conversation, you were given the choice of
selecting a numerical ammonia limit or a toxicity testing
requirement to add to your NPDES Permit. This letter will serve
to inform you that you have selected the ammonia limit of 15.5
mg/l. This limit is necessary in order to protect water quality
in the receiving stream.
By copy of this letter, I am also informing our Technical
Services Support Group. in Raleigh of your choice so that they may
make the appropriate change to your permit.
If you have any further questions or comments regarding your
responsibilities pertaining to this additional requirement,
please do not hesitate to contact me at 704/251-6208. Thank you
for your cooperation in the matter.

.0004 DEFINITIONS
The following definitions shall apply throughout this Subchapter.
(1) Activated Carbon Beds. A physlcal/chemical method for reducing soluble organic material from wastewater effluent; The column -type beds used In this
method will have a flow rate varying from two to eight gallons per minute per square foot and may be either upflow or downflow carbon beds. Carbon may or
may not be regenerated on the wastewater treatment plant she;
(2) Aerated Lagoons. A basin in which all solids are maintained in suspension and by which biological oxidation or organic matter is reduced through artificially
accelerated transfer of oxygen on a flow -through basis;
(3) Aeration. A process of bringing about Intimate contact between air or high purity oxygen In a liquid by spraying, agitation or diffuslon;(3a) Extended
Aeration. An activated sludge process utilizing a minimum hydraulic detention time of 18 hours.
(4) Agriculturally managed she. Any she on which a crop Is produced, managed, and harvested (Crop includes grasses, grains, trees, etc.);
(5) Air Stripping. A process by which the ammonium Ion Is first converted to dissolved ammonia (pH adjustment) with the ammonia then released to the
atmosphere by physical means; or other similar processes which remove petroleum products such as benzene, toluene, and xylene;
(6) Carbon Regeneration. The regeneration of exhausted carbon by the use of a furnace to provide extremely high temperatures which volatilize and oxidize the
absorbed impurities;
(7) Carbonaceous Stage. A stage of wastewater treatment designed to achieve 'secondary' effluent limits;
(8) Centrifuge. A mechanical device In which centrifugal force Is used to separate solids from liquids or to separate liquids of different densFlas;
(9) Chemical Addition Systems- The addition of chemical(s) to wastewater at an application point for purposes of Improving solids removal, pH adjustment,
alkalinity control, etc.; the capability to experiment with different chemicals and different application points to achieve a specific result will be considered one
system; the capability to add chemical(s) to dual units will be rated as one system; capability to add a chemical at a different application points for different
purposes will result In the systems being rated as separate systems;
(10) Chemical Sludge Conditioning. The addition of a chemical compound such as lime, ferric chloride, or a polymer to wet sludge to coalesce the mass prior to
its application to a dewatering device; ymer _
(11) Closed Cycle Systems. Use of holding ponds or holding tanks for containment of wastewater containing inorganic, non -toxic materials from sand, gravel,
crushed stone or other similar operations. Such systems shall carry a maximum of two points regardless of pumping facilities or any other appurtenances;
(12) Combined Removal of Carbonaceous BOD and Nitrogenous Removal by Nitrification- A single stage system required to achieve permit effluent limits on BOD
and ammonia nitrogen within the same biological reactor,
(13) Dechlorinatlon. The partial or complete reduction of residual chlorine in a liquid by any chemical or physical process;
(14) Denhrification Process. The conversion of nitrate -nitrogen to nitrogen gas;

Subject: NPDES PERMIT NO. NC0077801
MCDOWELL COUNTY
Dear Permittee:
The subject permit issued on 6/29/90 expires on 4/30/95. North
Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.1(c) requires that an
application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to the
expiration date. As of the date of this letter, the Division of
Environmental Management had not received an application for renewal.
If operation of a discharge or waste treatment facility is to occur
after the permit's expiration date, or if continuation of the permit is
desired, it must not be allowed to expire. A renewal request must be
submitted no later than 180 days prior to the permit's expiration date.
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. 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.
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, referenced.in Title 15 of North Carolina
Administrative Code (15A NCAC) Subchapter 2H .0105(a).
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, listed in the
first categories of facilities.
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.

r I K
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 the renewal.
In addition to penalities referenced above, a permit renewal
request received after the expiration date will be considered 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 billed separately for that fee (if
applicable), after your permit is approved.
The letter requesting renewal, the completed Permit application,
and appropriate fee should be sent to:
Permits and Engineering Unit
Division of Environmental Management
Post Office Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
The check should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources which may be abbreviated as
DEHNR.
If there are questions or a need for additional information
regarding the permit renewal procedure, please contact me or any
individual in the NPDES Group at telephone number [phone].

NPDES Permit Number NCO077801
McDowell County
Dear Mr. Gibbs:
Compliance Sampling Inspections of the wastewater treatment facility
serving Gibbs Motel and Restaurant were conducted on December 7 and 9,
1993. Copies of the inspection reports and sample results are enclosed
with the report. You will note that NPDES Permit violations of the daily
maximum.limitation for Total Suspended Solids and Fecal Coliform were
documented on December 7, 1993, and a violation of the daily maximum
limitation for Fecal Coliform was documented on December 9, 1993. Also,
a violation of Section C.2 (page 8 of 14) of Discharge Permit Number
NCO077801 was documented. The cited section requires proper facilities
operation and maintenance at all times..
The total suspended solids and fecal coliform samples collected
during the inspection on December 7, 1993 yielded the following results:
Total Suspended Solids
Fecal Coliform
48 mg/l
2200 colonies/100 ml
The fecal coliform sample collected on December 9, 1993 had the
following result:
Fecal Coliform greater than 240,000 colonies/100 ml

Mr. W.B. Gibbs, Jr.
January 5, 1994
Page Two
Gibbs Motel's wastewater permit limits the discharge to a daily
maximum of 45 mg/1 for TSS and a count of 400 organisms per 100
milliliters for fecal coliform.
Improper operation and maintenance was evidenced by heavy
accumulations of settled solids in the chlorine contact tank and the
de -chlorination tank. Reduced detention time (due to accumulated solids)
in the chlorine contact tank and inadequate chlorine dosage was the
probable cause of the high effluent coliform count. Additional operator
attention to this facility will be required if it is to maintain
compliance with NPDES Permit limits.
The Division of Environmental Management may implement.enforcement
proceedings for each violation of an effluent limitation and each
violation of a permit condition. Those proceedings would be in
accordance with provisions of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6.
The Statute provides for administrative, civil and criminal sanctions.
Please respond in writing on or before January 28, 1994, advising
what actions have been implemented or are planned to remedy problems at
Gibbs Motel's treatment plant. If you have questions concerning this or
related matters, please contact Mr. Mike Parker at 704/251-6208.

Dear Mr. Gibbs:
A representative -of The Division of Environmental Management visited
Gibbs Motel's wastewater treatment plant on- March 24, 1993. On that
date, the representative documented a violation of Gibbs Motel's daily
maximum limitation for fecal coliform plus a violation of Section C.2
(page 8 of 14) of Discharge Permit Number NCO077801. The cited section
requires proper facilities operation and maintenance.
The fecal coliform sample collected during the inspection contained
460 organisms per 100 milliliters. Gibbs Motel's wastewater permit
limits the discharge to a daily maximum count of 400 organisms per 100
milliliters.
Improper operation and maintenance was evidenced by heavy
accumulations of settled solids in the chlorine contact tank and the
de -chlorination tank. The final section of the contact tank was
completely filled with settled solids. Additionally, two of three
sections in the de -chlorination tank were completely filled with -settled
matter. Reduced detention time (due to accumulated solids) in the
chlorine contact tank was the probable cause of the high effluent
coliform count.

Dear Mr. Gibbs:
I inspected the wastewater treatment plant serving Gibbs Motel
and Restaurant on January 6, 1993. Samples collected at th-
e time
indicated that the plant was producing an effluent which met
limitations contained in its discharge permit. Sample results appear
in the attached report.
If compliance with discharge limitations is expected to continue,
observations revealed the need for 'operational adjustments or
attention. Settled solids had virtually filled the chlorine contact
tank. At points, solids had also filled the dechlorination tank to
within 2 - 3 inches of the water level.
Please contact me at telephone number 704-251-6208 if there are
questions or matters with which I may be of assistance.
Sincerely,

Dear 1\Ir . Reid
In responce to your letter dated January 28, 1992, on the
compliance evaluation inspection of Gibbs Motel and Restaurant,
about the solids in the chlorine contact basin and the dechlori-
nation tank.
The chlorine contact basin and the dechlorination tank were
pumped out on January 25th, and the solids were put in the sludge
holding tank.
The reason for the solids was that the plant had just started
up in November 1991, and was in non-compliance for November and
December, 1991, because we could not get enough microorganisms
started to make the plant run properly until about the first week
in January.
The plant in question was in compliance for January and will
continue to do -so. As for the flow meter, we are getting the readings
from the water meters once a week and the dividing the readings we
get by 7 days which gives us our average daily reading.
If there are any question- ricernin these matters, please
feel free to contact me at 4/327-0903. lank you very much for
your cooperation in this tter.

Wastewater Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit Number NCO077801
Mc well County
Dear Mr. Gibbs:
A representative of The Division of Environmental ' Management
observed the subject wastewater treatment plant on January 21, 1992. On
that date, the plant's owner was judged to be in violation of
Section C. 2. (page 8 of 14) of Discharge Permit Number NCO077801. That
section requires proper facilities operation and maintenance.
Improper operation and maintenance was evidenced by a heavy
accumulation of settled solids in the chlorine contact basin. Solids had
accumulated almost to the point of occupying the basin's entire working
depth. The dechlorination tank also contained a large volume of solids
identical in appearance to those in the chlorine contact basin.
Additionally, the bed of the stream to which the plant was discharging
contained. an accumulation of wastewater_ solids below the outfall pipe.
Solids on the stream bed revealed that accumulated matter had been
discharged from Gibbs Motel's treatment plant.
Gibbs Motel's Authorization to Construct (for the wastewater
treatment plant) and blueprints were reviewed during preparation of this
report. Those documents specified continuous flow measuring and
recording equipment. The Division of Environmental Management's
representative does not recall seeing such equipment during the visit of
January 21, 1992. If a continuous flow measuring and recording device
has not been put in place, one must be installed and made operable, or
modification of Gibbs Motel's Authorization. to Construct must be

requested. The modification request must specify how adequate flow
measurements would be made without the equipment specified on the
blueprints.
Failure to properly operate Gibbs Motel's wastewater treatment plant
and failure to install and operate continuous flow measuring equipment
(if such equipment has not been installed) constitute two violations for
which the Division may implement enforcement proceedings. Those
proceedings would be in accordance with provisions of North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.6. The Statute provides for administrative,
civil., and criminal sanctions for violations of permit conditions and
requirements found in Authorization to Construct documents.
Please respond in writing on or before February 17, 1992 advising y
what actions have been implemented or are planned to remedy operational
and other problems at Gibbs Motel's treatment plant. If there are
questions concerning this or related matters, please contact Mr. James
Reid at telephone number 704-251-6208.

The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
c -.
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33
USC 1251, et. seq.
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
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.

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 flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
.Z- . . ,, . fm
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 1i24 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.
. -., . AUV
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.
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.

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.
WeV. 70 ..._ I . . �.
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 Il, 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.
MO
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 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.
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.
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.
2. Renorrin g
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.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuin& 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. EM
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 pen -nit.
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.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
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. -
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.

Part II
Page 3 of 14
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.
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 flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types 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.
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.

Part H
Page 4 of 14
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).
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.
11. Hazardous Substance
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.
SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS

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.
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.
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 II, 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;

Part H
Page 9 of 14
(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 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.
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. Affect 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 (3) of this condition 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:
(a) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(b) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(c) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of
this permit.
(d) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part 11, 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.

Dear Mr. Gibbs:
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received January 16, 1991 by the Division
and final plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and found to be satisfactory.
Authorization is hereby granted for the construction of a 9,000 GPD wastewater treatment facility
consisting of a 9,000 gallon capacity aeration basin with froth control, an 1,800 gallon capacity clarifier
with 31.67 ft2 of surface area, dual sludge returns, and dual skimmer returns, a 188 gallon capacity
chlorine contact chamber with tablet type chlorinator and de -chlorinator, a 1,420 gallon capacity sludge
holding tank with supernatant return to the aeration basin, and dual blowers capable of supplying at least
54 CFM at 5 psi with discharge of treated wastewater into an unnamed tributary to the Catawba River.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III paragraph A of NPDES
Permit No. NCO077801 issued June 29, 1990, and shall be subject to revocation unless the wastewater
treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in Permit No.
NC0077801.
The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with G.S.
143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management. This
facility has not been demonstrated capable of stabilizing sludges to levels required by 40 CFR Part 257,
Appendix H for land application or landfilling. Therefore, the sludge generated by these treatment facilities
can not be land applied nor landfilled but must be disposed of at a treatment facility with adequate solids
handling capacity.
