Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit
Permit No. NCO040291
Days Inn - Marion WWTP

a
In accordance with the application for discharge permit received, the Division is forwarding
herewith the subject NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina
and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently
amended).
This final permit authorizes Mansukh Patel to discharge domestic wastewater from the
Days Inn - Marion Wastewater Treatment Plant to Hicks Branch, class C water'in.the Catawba
River Basin. This permit includes discharge limitations/or monitoring for flow, BOD5, total
suspended solids, ammonia nitrogen, dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, total residual chlorine
and oil and grease.
The following procedure has been recently implemented by DWQ: Total residual
chlorine (TRC) compliance level changed to 50 ug/I. Effective March 1, 2008, the -.Division
received EPA approval to allow a 50 ug/I TRC compliance level. This change is due to
analytical difficulties with TRC measurements. Facilities will still be required to report actual
results on their monthly discharge monitoring report (DMR) submittals, but for compliance
purposes, all TRC values below 50 ug/I will be treated as zero. A footnote regarding'this
change has been added to the effluent limitations pages in the permit.

2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall
be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
B ass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which
is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Dav
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and
Version 712009

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 18
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method
may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following
restrictions also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect
effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour
sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations
prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that
requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).

Dear Mr. Patel:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against the Days Inn - Marion WWTP in the amount of $600.00 ($500.00 civil

1. The June 2010 Discharge monitoring report (DMR) was not filed with the Division of Water Quality within the thirty (30) day
reporting period in accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. A Notice of
Violation (NOV-2010-1-11-0055) was sent to you for failure to submit the June 2010 DMR no later than the thirtieth (30th) day
following the reporting period. The certified mail receipt was received and signed for by you on August 30, 2010. Within said
Notice, you were informed that future reports not received within the required timeframe would result in further enforcement

2. As of September 29, 2010 the June 2010 DMR has not been filed with the Division of Water Quality within the thirty (30) day
reporting period in accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Days Inn - Marion WWTP violated or failed to act in accordance with
the requirements of NPDES Permit NCO040291 and G.S. 143-215.65. A civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per violation may be
assessed against a person who fails to file, submit, or make available any documents, data, or reports required by G.S. 143-215.65.
The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a) (9) and G.S. 143-282.1(b) (8).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Secretary of the

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in detern the amount of the penalty, I have taken into int the Findings of Facts and
Conclusions of Law and have considered and every specific factor set out in G.S. 143E A (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health, or to private property resulting from the
violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on the ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or,intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management
Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (do not
include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new
violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source Branch
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
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 return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement,
which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the
detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had 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 Branch
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.

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:

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

Permit No. NCO040291
McDowell County
Enclosed please find a copy of the Inspection Report from the inspection conducted September 10,
2009. The Compliance Evaluation Inspection was conducted by Janet Cantwell of the Asheville Regional
Office. The treatment facility was found to be in violation of Permit NCO040291 for the following:
Part II. C.2 of the The aeration basin, diffusers, airlines and the plant in general are
in need of extensive maintenance and/or replacement. The metal has
NPDES Permit rusted through on both sides of the aeration basin. Pipes and interior
(Operation & walls are also showing signs of heavy rusting and sloughing off of
Maintenance) metal and paint.
Upon arrival at the facility there was a definite odor of sewage and
the color in the aeration basin was very dark, indicating lack of
oxygen.
The ORC was in the process of unclogging one of the diffusers
during the inspection. It was also noted that one of the airlines had
been patched. More rusting could be seen further up the pipe.

Part II. C.2
Metal walkways over the basins
need to be sanded and repainted.
Part II. C.2
Soil has been badly eroded around
the sides of the clarifier and
should be repaired before it gets
worse and compromises the facility
itself.
Part II. C.2
The effluent discharge location
has not been located per the ORC
and should be made accessible
for inspection.
During the last inspection on December 16, 2008, it was noted that deterioration of the upper
sides of the aeration basin should be addressed with a response in writing with a timetable for
repairs. p
James & James Environmental/ ORC responded ini a letter dated February 3, 2009, that "James &
James will be meeting with Mr. Patel with regard to the need and potential corrective actions that should be
taken with this repair. Once a plan is agreed upon, 1 will contact you with the timetable agreed upon."
To this date there has been no response with a timetable for repairs or replacement.
The facility is showing severe corrosion and replacement of the facility itself will most likely be
necessary. However, the City of Marion's sewer collection system is now available to the Days Inn.
It is the recommendation of this office that connection to the City of Marion's system is your best
option. „
Please refer to the enclosed Inspection Report for any additional observations and comments.
To prevent further action, carefully review these violations and deficiencies and respond in writing to
this office within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of this letter. You should address the causes of
noncompliance and all actions taken to prevent the recurrence of similar situations. If you should have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact Janet Cantwell at 828/296-4500.

Harry James and John Austin/ ORC assisted in the inspection of this facility.
The permit will expire January 31, 2010. Your renewal application was received in Raleigh July 6, 2009,
however, it was noted that the required Sludge Management Plan was not included in the submitted
paperwork.
A full copy of the current permit should be maintained at the facility.
The aeration basin, diffusers, airlines and the plant in general are in need of extensive maintenance. The
metal has rusted through on both sides of the aeration basin. Pipes and interior walls are also showing
signs of heavy rusting and sloughing off of metal and paint.
Upon arrival at the facility there was a definite odor of sewage and the color in the aeration basin was
very dark, indicating insufficient oxygen.
The ORC was in the process of unclogging one of the diffusers during the inspection. It was also noted
that one of the airlines had been patched. More rusting could be seen further up the pipe.
Metal walkways over the basins need to be sanded and repainted.
Soil has been badly eroded around the sides of the clarifier and should be repaired before it gets worse
and compromises the facility itself.
The effluent discharge location has not been located per the ORC and should be made accessible for

REPORT
Description of Collection System or Treatment.Process:
A gravity feed influent into four 1500 gallon stabilization tanks, into a 20,00.0 gallon
extended aeration basin with clarifier, and chlorine contact chamber with dechlor.
II. Performance
Text Summary of System Performance for Calendar Year 2007
This system operated very well this year. In February there was a high TSS, but it
was probably from the dechlor tablet residue in the water.- The owner reinforced
the chlorine contact chamber from the rusted out spots.
List (by Month) any violations of permit conditions or other environmental
regulations. Monthly lists should include discussion of any environmental impacts
and corrective measures taken to address violations. Attach additional sheets if needed.
February 20-TSS @58.0 mg/1(effluent clear -possibly due to the weight of the dechlor on the plate- sample more carefully)
III. Notification:
A copy of this report has been sent to the Owner with directions to give notification
of the availability of this report to each of their users. A certified statement will be
sent to the State when this issue has been rectified.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
7-11-2006 by Starr Silvis.
The permit expires on 1-31-2010, please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration.
The Annual Performance Report has been filed for the year and was on -site, along with a complete copy of
the current permit.
The aeration basin process control data was as follows on the day of the inspection.
Temperature = 12.7 degrees Celcius
Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3 mg/I. Seasonal changes in
temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve ideal dissolved oxygen levels.
Settleable Solids = 400/1000 ml/ml = 40%
Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so that the flow rate is
approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the settleable solids from the aeration basin
after settling for 30 minutes in a settleometer. For example, a settleability of 30% would generally indicate a
recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%.
Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%) the same as the percent return sludge pumping rate (i.e.
30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained. If the plant cannot handle that return
sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably recommended.
PH = 6.8 units
The effluent data was as follows on the day of the inspection.
Temperature = 9.9 degrees Celcius
Chlorine = 1.2 mg/I
PH = 7.4 units
Harry and Juanita James, the contract operators, were on -site during the inspection.
The log book was present on -site and had good notation of daily events.
The effluent appeared to be clear, indicating compliance with permit limits.
This facility appears to be well operated and maintained. Jim Smith, the operator, is doing a good job.

Dear Mrs. Fazier,
In the letter bated March 2, 2006, the Dissolved Oxygen limit had not been obtained for the .
stated dates. We are now operating off of the most recent permit issued. This permit was not received by
James & James until the beginning of February, 2006_
An air lime was plumbed into the chlorine contact chamber oil' of the line feeding the wastewater
facility off of either motorlblower. Thereby, the air will be entering the chlorine contact chamber when
either of the motor/blower combinstiou is running.
If we can be of further assistance, Please contact us. With highest regards, we are

Dear Ms. Silvis,
On today, January 20, 2006 Harry met with the owner of Days Inn Marion, Mr. Mansukh Patel,
regarding the above noted NOV. Please find outlined below responses to the Compliance Issue.
#1) Corrosion of the chlorine contact chamber and aeration basin

chlorine contact chamber will be bypassed.
#2) Discharge point not accessible
Response: Mr. Patel is arranging for a path to be cleared to the discharge point for ease of access
for both James & James personnel as well as the State agencies.
#3) Water supply to the facility non -operational
Response: The water line is repaired and working properly.
#4) Number 1 sludge return non -operational
Response: The sludge return was unstopped by James & James on January 9, 2006 (the day of
inspection) and the return was also repaired.
#5) Diffusers need cleaned and / or repaired
Response: All diffusers are scheduled with the maintenance personnel of James & James to be
pulled, cleaned and / or repaired as necessary soon.
#6) Method of flow measurement not available
Response: The ORC collects the influent water to confirm the grab flow as required by the
permit. We are also requesting that a port be put into the new chlorine contact chamber for an easier
location.
Please accept this response. If you have any additional questions, please contact us at any time.
Thank you;a ��

Please refer to the enclosed Inspection Report for any additional observation and comments.
Although renovation can be considered, replacement of the facility itself will most likely be
necessary. However, the City of Marion's sewer collection system is now available to the Days
Inn. It is the recommendation of this office that connection to the City of Marion's system is your
best option.
To prevent further action, carefully review these violations and deficiencies and respond in
writing to this office within ten (10) working day of receipt of this letter. You should address the
causes of noncompliance and all actions taken to prevent the recurrence of similar situations. If you
should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Starr Silvis at 828-296-4500.

The corrosion noted in the previous inspection report has not been fixed. This Office recommends
replacement of the chlorine contact chamber due to excessive corrosion and deterioration. Additionally, the
aeration basin has at least two holes above the water line due to corrosion.
The new permit contains chlorine residual limits. Dechlorination equipment will need to be installed in order
to comply with the new permit limits. Construction of dechlorination equipment will require the permitee to
obtain an Authorization to Construct from the Construction Grants and Loans division.
The discharge location for effluent must be identified and made accessible.
The water to the plant was not functional at the time of the inspection. There must be water supply to the
plant.
At least one cap was missing from a diffuser. Diffusers should be removed, cleaned, and repaired. .

Dear Mr. Patel:

Nilliam G. Ross; Jr., Secretary
Alan W. Klimek, P�f �, Director
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the
draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements
it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from your current
permit:
• A Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) daily maximum limit has been added. Since the
issuance of the existing permit, the North Carolina Environmental Management
Commission has adopted rules that establish a water quality standard for TRC. As a
result, since April 1, 2003, permits issued for all facilities that add chlorine as a part of
their processes include a TRC limit. Because additional treatment units will likely
have to be constructed in order to meet the limit, please note the limit will not become
effective until 18 months following the effective date of the permit. The attached
memo should help explain the permitting policy.
• Daily maximum limits for ammonia have been added to the permit. Since December
2002, the Division has been adding daily maximum limits for ammonia to permits
with monthly average limits in order to conform to federal NPDES regulations.
• The permit contains a requirement for you to submit a report documenting the current
and future availability of sewer service at your location. The report will be due no
later than 180 days following the issuance of the permit.

Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Days Inn -Marion Wastewater Treatment Facility
NPDES Permit Number NCO040291
McDowell County
On June 10, 2005, Janet Cantwell with the Division of Water Quality's Asheville Regional
Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the subject facility. An inspection report.
detailing the Division's findings is enclosed for your review, In summary, the effluent was relatively
clear with the presence of fine solids. However, the treatment facility, itself, is showing severe
corrosion. The metal walls are separating and there are holes in the sides of the aeration basin and
the chlorine contact chamber. The blower housings and the walkways need to be sanded and
repainted. Part II C. 2 of the facility's NPDES permit requires the facility to be properly maintained.
Its current poor condition is a violation of that requirement.
You should be aware that future effluent violations that are attributable to the poor condition of
this facility will subject you to the assessment of civil penalties for both effluent limits violations and for
the violation of the condition contained in Part II C.2.
Although renovation can be considered, replacement of the facility itself will most likely be
necessary. However, the City of Marion's sewer collection system is now available to the Days Inn.
It is the recommendation of this office that connection to the City of Marion's system is your best
option.
Please provide a written response to this office no later than August 5, 2005 addressing the
violation noted. If you should have any questions, please contact Janet Cantwell at 828-296-4500.

Effluent clarity is relatively good with presence of fine solids. The treatment facility, itself, is in poor
condition. The blower housing and walkways are rusted and need to be sanded and painted. The treatment
plant walls are separating and peeling off into the basins. There are holes in the sides of the walls at the
water level in the aeration basin and chlorine contact chamber. The crossbar at the head of the plant has
rusted in half.
The condition in Part II. C.2 of the NPDES permit requires the facility to be properly maintained and operated.
The poor condition of this facility is a violation of this requirement.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily'discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which
is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July .through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 nil in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 ,hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1 /24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater; than 20 minutes apart
during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.

In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more 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
intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWO or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
Facility Closure
The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage
under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]'D shall be considered =1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.

Dear Mr. Patel: v
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the
draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements
it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from your current
permit:
• A T al Resid al Q-'fi— a,ri
�.e-,-,, (TRC) daily maximum limit has been added. Since the
issuance of the existing permit, the North Carolina Environmental Management
Commission has adopted rules that establish a water quality standard for TRC. As a
result, since April 1, 2003, permits issued for all facilities that add chlorine as a part of
their processes include a TRC limit. Because additional treatment units will likely
have to be constructed in order to meet the limit, please note the limit will not become
effective until 18 months following the effective date of the permit. The attached
memo should help explain the permitting policy.
• ,ally�ri aximumbi oni, have been added to the permit. Since December
2002, the Division has been adding daily maximum limits for ammonia to permits
with monthly average limits in order to conform to federal NPDES regulations.
•
later than 180 days following the issuance of the permit.

SUBJECT: Total Residual Chlorine Policy for NPDES permits
Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
Every three years the State is required by the Clean Water Act to review its surface water quality standards and
classifications, determine if changes are needed and to make any necessary changes. This review process is referred to
as the "triennial review." Public hearings were held to solicit comments for the 2000-2003 Triennial Review of surface
water quality standards during the summer of 2002. The Hearing Officer's recommendations were presented before
the state's Environmental Management Commission on October 10, 2002.
The Hearing Officer's recommended changes included modifications to the existing standards for Arsenic, Cyanide,
Methylene Blue Active Substances (MBAS) and Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). The Hearing Officer also
recommended the addition of a standard for Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE).
All of the Hearing Officer's proposed changes were adopted with the exception of MTBE. The changes took effect
on April 1, 2003. This memo documents the changes to the NPDES permitting policy for TRC limits.
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC)
Previously, TRC had an Action Level Standard, except in designated Trout waters. The Triennial Review changes
modified the TRC Action Level Standard to an Aquatic Life Standard of 17 µg/L. The Aquatic Life Standard will
remain for designated Trout waters.
Aquatic Life Standard —17 µg/L (freshwater only) Trout Waters —17 µg/L
Revised TRC Policy
➢ TRC limits will be assigned to permit renewals and all new permits issued after April 1, 2003.
➢ Facilities that do not use chlorine will not receive a TRC limit; however, the presence of a chlorine back-up
system to augment UV or other disinfection requires a TRC limit.
➢ Facilities discharging to streams with a 7Q10 <0.05 cfs (zero -flow streams) will receive a limit of 17 µg/L.
➢ Limits will be capped at 28 µg/L to protect against acute impacts.
It is likely that many facilities will need to add dechlorination (or use another means of disinfection) to comply with
the new TRC standard. Therefore, a compliance schedule of 18 months from the effective date of the permit may
be added to any TRC limit added during the current permit renewal. This time period is allowed in order for the
facility to budget and design/construct the dechlorination and/or alternative disinfection system(s). The NPDES
Unit has promulgated minimum design criteria in order to expedite permitting of dechlorination equipment.

Dear Permittee:
Your NPDES permit expires on July 31, 2005. Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC
2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of
the current permit. If you have already mailed your renewal application, you may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than
February 1, 2005. Failure to request renewal by this date may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after July 31, 2005, the current permit must be renewed. Discharge of
wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1; unpermitted discharges of
wastewater may be assessed 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 me at the
telephone number or address listed below.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must
submit with the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact me at the telephone number or
e-mail address listed below.

Dear 1V4s. Cantwell,
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation received by James & James Environmental
on June 21, 2004- The violation was for Days Inn Marion in regard to the elevated Fecal Coliform of
600 colonies/100 mis for April, 2004. We have been attempting to find that optimum point where there
is enough chlorine to do an adequate kill of the bacteria without wasting the clients money in over
chlorinating and then over de -chlorinating. We were trying to ran a chlorine residual around a 0.5 mg(l.
This is the time that we have violated the Fecal Coiifvrm limits. We have determined that with
maintaining a chlorine residual between a 0.8 mg/l and a 1.2 mg/1 the fecal count is within permit limits.
While we do not wish to be negligent in the enforcement of the permit limits, we do not wish to
be wasteful with the clients financial requirements either. Ifyou have any additional questions, please
contact me. Thank you for your attention in this matter. With highest regards, I am
Very t'Ldy y

■ Facility Description
A 20,000 gallon wastewater treatment facility consisting of a grease trap, flow
equalization tank, bar screen, aeration basin, clarifier with sludge return, and effluent
chlorination facilities.
■ This facility will not be used as part of an expansion project.
■ This facility is not in the process of construction.
EVALUATE DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES
The disposal alternatives was evaluated and documented at the initial application for this permit.
Please refer to this document.
The Isothermal Planning Commission has indicated that they are capable of accepting the
discharge from this facility. The City of Marion has constructed a force main sewer Iine to run behind the
property of Park Inn International (Days Inn Marion) to run the extent of Highway 221 to encompass
Glenwood Elementary School.
The connection of Park Inn International would demand the construction and installation of a
pump, station with large enough pumps to force the wastewater into an already flowing line. The line
installed by the City of Marion is a force main.
It was determined by the Isothermal Planning Commission that the amount of funds required for
tie on to their force main is $36,982.62. The City of Marion is not prepared to finance this amount to any
project.

According to the cost proposal developed by William Lapsley and Associates for the Isothermal
Planning Commission, the cost of construction for Park inn International would be approximately
$93,906. This would include 350 L.F. of S" sewer line, a 4' manhole, a 40 gpm pump station, service
connection and mobilization. This amount does not cover the cost of engineering and legal
documentation. With the tie on fee noted in the Isothermal plan, the cost of the project nears $130,000
dollars.
The facility now being operated, has an excellent history of compliance_ At present costs, it
would take over 20 years to break even on the project, not to mention the dollar amount that would be
accrued through the payment of sewer use fees, and upkeep of the lift station. Based upon all facts
presented, we believe that pumping our waste into the City of Marion's waste water collection line would
not be cost effective at this time.
Thank you for the review of this information. If I can furnish any additional information, please
contact me. With highest regards, I am
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Hewitt:
On September 18, 2003, 1 conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the wastewater
treatment plant servicing the Park Inn International/DBA/Days Inn. Mr. Harry James,Mr. James G.
Smith and Mr. Steve Nanney of James and James Environmental Management accompanied me
during the inspection. The assistance provided by them was greatly appreciated. The purpose of
the inspection was to determine the compliance status of the wastewater treatment plant. The facility
was determined to be compliant. A copy of the inspection report is enclosed for your records.
During my inspection I observed that the facility was clean. The operators log was on site and
well maintained. I observed the blowers were operating properly on a thirty (30) minute ON/ thirty
(30) OFF cycle and that the air filters were clean. There was one (1) tube of chlorine in use in the
chlorinator and the total chlorine was good. Finally, before the next inspection, please find and make
the discharge pipe for this facility accessible, including cutting weeds and vines, clear a 4-5' path
around the fence surrounding the facility to ensure access and alleviate debris buildup in the tanks,
clear the top of the septic tanks to gain access, and be aware that the facility is showing signs of
severe corrosion and should be painted/repaired. The pipe leading to the chlorine chamber is
extremely corroded and should be repaired.
If you should have any questions regarding this inspection or other water quality issues
you may contact me at [phone].

Case No. LV 03 - 308 & NOV 03 - 005
McDowell County
Dear Mr. Hewitt:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$350.00 ($250.00 civil penalty + $100.00 enforcement costs) against Park Inn' International.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the
discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Park Inn International" for the month of
December 2002. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge
limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0040291. The violations,
which occurred in December 2002, are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Park Inn International
violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NC0040291and N.C.G.S. 143-
215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. A civil penalty of not more than
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00), in accordance with the maximums established by
N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), may be assessed against a person who violates the terms, conditions
or requirements of a permit required by N.C.G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Forrest R. Westall, Division of Water Quality
Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment
against Park Inn International:

r
$ 250.00 For 1 of the 2 violations of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) and
NPDES Permit No. NC0040291 of permit monthly average
effluent limits for Total Suspended Solids.
$ 250.00
$ 100.00
TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
Enforcement costs.
$ 350.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE

W
V
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health,
or to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by non-compliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the attention
of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699=1617
i.:
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 return to this office the attached
waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement, which you believe establishes
whether:

t
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 14313-282.1(b) were wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had 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 can not 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.
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to the Office of
Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General
Statutes. You must File your original petition with the
Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714
and
Mail or hand -deliver a copy of the petition to
Mr. Dan Oakley, General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601

IN
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a date
stamp (not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the
penalty.
Please be advised that any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new
enforcement action, including an additional penalty. If you have any questions about this civil
penalty assessment, please contact Mr. Larry Frost of the Asheville Regional Office at (828) 251-

During my inspection I observed that the facility was clean. The operators log was on site
and well maintained. I observed that the blower electric components had been updated since the
last inspection, the blowers were operating properly on a thirty (30) minute ON/ thirty (30) OFF
cycle and that the air filters were clean. There was one (1) tube of chlorine in use in the
chlorinator and the total chlorine was good. Finally, before the next inspection, please.find and
make the discharge pipe for this facility accessible, including cutting weeds and vines. .

Division of Water Quality
Subject: Wastewater Treatment for the
Businesses Located South of the
Intersection of U.S.=Highway 221
and Interstate Highway 40
McDowell County
The purpose of this letter to establish the Division of Water Quality's position regarding
connection of the businesses located south of the intersection of U.S. Highway 221 and Interstate
Highway 40 in McDowell County to the City of Marion's Wastewater Collection System. It is the
Division's mandate to assure the most environmentally sound alternative be selected from all
reasonably cost effective options, with regards to the elimination of surface water point source
discharges. The Division supports the efforts of the Isothermal Planning and Development
Commission to gain funding for the connection of these businesses to the System, believing this
to be an environmentally sound option. The businesses have operated successfully for many
years utilizing package wastewater treatment plants, however, the Division views the retirement
of the two (2) package plants as an improvement to the water quality of the region by eliminating
two (2) surface water point source discharges. The Plants are currently owned by Jai-Ambre
Company Inc./doing business as/Super 8 Motel and Park Inn International/doing business as/
Days Inn. The wastewater from these businesses, once connected to the System, would
ultimately be treated at the City's Corpening Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Dear Mr. Hewitt,
On April 24, 2001, I conducted a Compliance Sampling Inspection, along with Mr. Harry James
and Mr. Steve Nanney of James and James Environmental Management. The assistance provided by Mr.
James -and Mr.-Nanney was greatly appreciated. -The purpose of the inspection was to determine the
compliance status of the wastewater treatment plant servicing the Park Inn International/DBA/Days Inn. A

Grab samples collected during the inspection indicate that the.facility is operating within the
effluent limitations of the permit and the results are enclosed for your information
During my inspection I observed that the facility was clean. The operators log was on site and
well maintained. It was observed that the blowers were being run on manual due to outdated and corroded
components. The permit requires that the permittee "maintain all facilities...", therefore, since the blowers
are not operational in automatic, the facility is deficient in its operational maintenance. Please, inform this
office when the facility is restored to full operation.

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.
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 Js 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 1 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. Tvves of Samples
-a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge
and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow
recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at
no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of
greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals
evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time
of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent
grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a
24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must 'be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual .
values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the
individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is
equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values.
For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one
(1).
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.

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 pmnittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and

Subject: NPDES Permit Renewal Application
Permit NCO040291
Park Inn International
McDowell County
The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on November 13, 1999. Thank
you for submitting this package.
The permit renewal for this facility will be assigned to a member of the NPDES Unit staff.
That 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 NCO040291, 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 me at
[phone], extension 511.

Subject: Renewal of NPDES Permit NCO040291
PARK INN INTERNATIONAL
MCDOWELL County
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
531. You may also contact the Asheville Regional Office at [phone] to begin the rescission
process.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items
you must submit with the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact me.

Dear Mr. Hewitt:
On March 23, 1998, a Compliance Sampling Inspection was
conducted at the wastewater treatment facility serving the
Park Inn. A copy of the inspection report is.,attached for
your review.
Samples collected at the wastewater treatment facility
indicate compliance with NPDES Permit limits. There were
several items noted during the inspection that need
attention and are listed below:
1. Solids in the chlorine contact tank should be
removed.
2. One of the sludge return lines is being supported by
a rope. It is recommended that a more durable means of
support be provided.
3. One of the blowers was turned off and would not
operate. This unit should be repaired as soon as
possible. Please note that you are required to
maintain all treatment plant equipment and units in
good working order at all times.
4. The effluent chlorine residual was measured at 5.0
mg/l. The permit does not contain a limit on the
amount chlorine residual in the effluent; however, at
this level the chlorine could be having adverse affects
to aquatic life in the stream. I would recommend that
