Ridgeview Acres Mobile Home Park WWTP, Class l
Off Dryman Mtn. Rd., 5 Impala Trail, west of Emma
Buncombe County
The Division of Water Resources (the Division) hereby issues the attached NPDES permit for the subject
facility. We issue this permit 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.
Changes for Renewal. The Division understands that you have made no significant changes to your treatment
processes. We have therefore made only minimal changes to your permit by updating your permit format and site
map. However, please note that electronic reporting of Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) is now required.
Implementing Electronic Discharge Monitoring; Reports (eDMRs). Please be advised that the Division has
implemented an electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) program, in accord with pending requirements
by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We include the details to implement the eDMR program in thisl
permit [see Section A. (2.)].
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all DMRs and specify that, if North Carolina does
not establish a program to receive such submittals, Permittees must then submit eDMRs directly to EPA. For
more information on eDMRs, registering for eDMR submittal; and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit

A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia duhia at an effluent concentration of 90%. .
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the
"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent
versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February
1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of February, May, August &
November. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent
discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit
limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months
as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February
1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that
does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment,"
collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina
Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for
the pass/fail results and T1P3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent
to the following address:
Attention: NCDEQ / DWR / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30
days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete, accurate,
include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by
laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,
the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating
the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the montli/year of the reportwith the notation of
"No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences
Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be
required during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed
by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls,. shall
constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day
of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

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.

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

of effluent toxicity, isolate the sources of toxicity, evaluate the effectiveness of toxicity control. options, and confirm reductions in
effluent toxicity. Please be aware that North Carolina General Statutes provide for assessment of civil penalties for violations of
NPDES permit limitations and requirements.
The reverse side of this Notice contains important information concerning your Whole Effluent Toxicity Monitoring and Reporting
Requirements;' Please note appropriate mailing addresses for submitting your Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and Aquatic

WHOLE EFFLUENT TOXICITY MONITORING AND REPORTING INFORMATION
The following items are provided in an effort to assist you with identifying critical and sometimes overlooked toxicity testing and reporting
information. Please take time to review this information. The items below do not address or include all the toxicity testing and reporting
requirements contained in your NPDES permit. If you should have any questions about your toxicity testing requirement, please contact Mr.
John Giorgino with the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at (919) 743-8401 or another Unit representative at the same number.
➢ The p_ermittee is responsible for ensuring that toxicity testing is conducted according to the permit requirement and that toxicity report forms are
appropriately filed.
The reporting of whole effluent toxicity testing data is a dual requirement. All toxicity test results must be entered (with the appropriate
parameter code) on your monthly Discharge Monitoring Report which is submitted to:
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
IN ADDITION
Toxicity test data (original "AT" form) must be submitted to the following address:
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
➢ Toxicity test results shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period
(eg, January test result is due by the end of February).
➢ Toxicity test condition language contained in your NPDES permit may require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any
single quarterly toxicity test. If the initial pass/fail test fails or if the chronic value is lower than the permit limit, then at least two multiple
concentration toxicity tests (one per month) will be conducted over the following two months. As many analyses as can be completed will be
accepted. If your NPDES permit does not require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any single quarterly test, you
may choose to conduct either single concentration toxicity testing or multiple concentration toxicity testing per the Division's WET enforcement
initiatives effective.July 1, 1999. Follow-up multiple concentration toxicity testing will influence the Division's enforcement response.
➢ Toxicity testing months are specified by the NPDES Permit, except for NPDES Permits which contain episodic toxicity monitoring
requirements (eg, if the testing months specified in your NPDES permit are March, June, September, and December, then toxicity testing must
be conducted during these months).
➢ If your NPDES Permit specifies episodic monitoring and your facility does not have a discharge from January 1-June 30, then:you must provide
written notification to the Environmental Sciences Section by June 30 that a discharge did not occur during the first six months of the calendar
year.
➢ If you receive notification from your contract laboratory that a test was invalidated, you should immediately notify the Environmental Sciences
Section at (919) 743-8401 and provide written documentation indicating why the test was invalidated and the date when follow-up testing will
occur.
➢ If your facility is required to conduct toxicity testing during a month in which no discharge occurs, you should complete the information block
located at the top of the AT form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county and the month/year of the subject report.
You should als!6'yrite "No Flow" on the AT form, sign the form and submit following normal procedures.
➢ The Aquatic Toxicity Test forms shall be signed by the facility's Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) except for facilities which have not
received a facility classification. In these cases, a duly authorized facility representative must sign the AT form. The AT form must also be
signed by the performing lab supervisor.
➢ To determine if your AT test forms were received on time by the Division of Water Quality, you may consider submitting your tokicity test
results certified mail, return receipt requested to the Environmental Sciences Section.

Facility information
NPDES permit #: NC0060283 Buncombe County
Facility name: Ridgeview Acres Mobile Home Park WWTP
WWTP class: I Biological (classification letter dated: 6-22-2001)
WWTP type: 0.0078 MGD WWTP with: 15 separate septic
tanks & dual subsurface sand filter systems (one septic tank and two
stone, gravel and filter sand filtration trenches for every two mobile
homes); tablet chlorinator (located under the black metal cover at the
first mailbox on the right); chlorine contact chamber (located under the
street); and tablet dechlorinator, located at the step cascade re -
aeration, located on the side of the creek bank.
Engineering drawings by Ken Pankow - rev. 8/22/85 — are in the facility
file. The engineering plan's lot numbers (1-30) do not correspond to
the house numbers (which are the newer 911 numbering system). The
sign at the MHP entrance indicates the lower lots to be numbers 25-54
(total of 30).
The 24 mobile homes on the upper level have individual septic tanks /
conventional systems.
Note: Repairs to the septic tanks & subsurface sand filters were made
during the week of 3- 22-10. Two blockages were located and
unstopped in two of the individual systems. In addition, two French
drains which intercepted high groundwater, were removed from over
the top of these individual systems. Steve Jones, Bunc. Co. Hlth. Dept.
(250-5023) visited the site on 3-19-10 and notified DWQ. Rain occurred
for several days during the repairs, resulting in a discharge of ground-
water collected in the French drains.
Collection System: 4-inch pvc gravity sewer from 30 mobile homes to
15 individual septic tanks. There are no pump
stations or force mains.

difficulty quantifying TRC in a wastewater matrix, the Division will consider all values reported by a
North Carolina -certified test method below 50µg/L to be compliant with his permit. However, the
Permittee shall continue to report all values reported above the test -method minimum detection level, even
if these levels fall below 50µg/L.
3. The daily average dissolved oxygen effluent concentration shall not fall below 5.0 mg/L.
4. Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Testing, Chronic [ceriodaphnia dubia] Pass/Fail at 90%: February, May,

Conditions:
The Permittee shall discharge no- floating solids or foam visible in other than trace amounts.
Permit NCO060283
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the
"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent
versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February
1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of February, May, August &
November. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent
discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit
limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months
as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February
1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that
does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment,"
collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase
II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for
the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent
to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30
days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete, accurate,
include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by
laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,
the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating
the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of
"No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences
Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be
required during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed
by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit
may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall
constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day
of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Section C. Operation and Maintenance of Pollution Controls
Certified Operator
Upon classification of the permitted facility by the Certification Commission, the Permittee shall employ a
certified water pollution control treatment system operator in responsible charge (ORC) of the water pollution
control treatment system. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the
classification assigned to the water pollution control treatment system by the Certification Commission. The
Permittee must also employ one or more certified Back-up ORCs who possess a currently valid certificate of
the type of the system. Back-up ORCs must possess a grade equal to (or no more than one grade less than) the
grade of the system [15A NCAC 8G.0201].
The ORC of each Class I facility must:
➢ Visit the facility as often as is necessary to insure proper operation of the treatment system; the
treatment facility must be visited at least weekly
➢ Comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 8G.0204.
The ORC of each Class II, III and IV facility must:
➢ Visit the facility as often as is necessary to insure proper operation of the treatment system; the
treatment facility must be visited at least five days per week, excluding holidays
➢ Properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility
➢ Comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 8G.0204.
Once the facility is classified, the Permittee shall submit a letter to the Certification Commission designating
the operator in responsible charge:
a. Within 60 calendar days prior to wastewater being introduced into a new system

2. Proper Operation and Maintenance
The Permittee shall at all times provide the operation and maintenance resources necessary to operate the
existing facilities at optimum efficiency. 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 Permittee to,install and operate backup or auxiliary facilities only when necessary to achieve compliance
with the conditions of the permit [40 CFR 122.41 (e)].
NOTE: Properly and officially designated operators are fully responsible for all proper operation and
maintenance of the facility, and all documentation required thereof, whether acting as a contract operator
[subcontractor] or a member of the Permittee's staff.
3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or
reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit [40 CFR 122.41
(c)].
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Bypass not exceeding limitations [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (2)]
The Permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded,
but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject
to the provisions of Paragraphs b. and c. of this section.
b. Notice [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (3)]
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the Permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior
notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the
anticipated quality and effect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The Permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in
Part II. E. 6. (24-hour notice).
c. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass from the treatment facility is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take
enforcement action against a Permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,
retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime.
This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the
exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal

Hi Joe,
�'�1062$2Yie_
r�et
Please see the attached facility info cover page (same as the one previously sent).
I talked to Trevor McMinn, ORC for Ridgeview Acres (NC0060383 in Buncombe County)
and sent him the DRAFT permit (since the owner is in Florida now).
Permit Renewal Recommendation:
The ARO recommends the renewal of this DRAFT permit..
NC0086223 Adventure Village:
Trevor and I also discussed another. one of his facilities, Adventure Village (see attached
info) in Transylvania County.
I told him that Keith has this facility now. Keith and I discussed this also.
Adventure Village does NOT have very much flow (300 gallons per day on average) and
is seasonal. It is very hard to catch the plant discharging to collect weekly samples.
When Trevor does get a weekly oil and grease sample, the lab that he uses (PACE)
sends the sample out to another lab in Charlotte to be analyzed. The glass container
often breaks, requiring the operator to try to collect another sample before the end of
that week (for weekly samples) . This really puts the ORC in a very difficult position.
Since the development never really took off and no restaurant was ever built, oil &
grease and MBAS should be taken out of the permit (as recommended in my staff report
below).
I know that y'all are four staff members short, however the permittee has had their
renewal and request for these changes in Raleigh about a year now.
PLEASE, if there is any way that you can see getting around to this renewal and
reissuance in the very near future, that would really be great!
Thanks for all of you help!

Dear Mr. Banks:
In response to your request to renew the subject NPDES permit, the Division of Water Quality (the Division)
hereby transmits this draft for your review and comment. Please review this document to assure your
understanding of the permit limits and monitoring conditions, and to correct errors, if any.
Concerning your request to relax Temperature monitoring from Daily to Weekly, this request must be denied.
However, this permit reflects a compromise, to monitor Temperature 2/Week, the same frequency as your Total
Residual Chlorine (TRC). The Division understands that you have made no significant alterations to your
treatment facilities except to add Dechlorination (AtoC permit granted June 7, 2010). Based on your renewal
application received March 31, 2010, we have updated your facility map, your address, and treatment system
description (see Supplement to Cover Sheet), and added parameter codes to the effluent monitoring page to
facilitate laboratory analysis [see Section, A. (1.)], consistent with NPDES permits statewide.
Concurrent with this notification, the Division will solicit public comment on this draft by publishing a notice in
newspapers having circulation in the general Buncombe County area, as required by the NPDES Program. Please
provide your comments, if any, to me via email Doe.corporon@ncdenr.gov], or write to my attention care of
DENR / DWQ / NPDES Program no later than February 10, 2011.
Following the mandatory 30-day public comment period, the Division will review all pertinent comments and take
appropriate action prior to issuing your NPDES permit final. If you have questions concerning this draft, please e-
mail me or call my direct line (919) 807-6394.
Respectfully,

Comments/Application Requests for
Draft Permit?
Permittee requests DWQ to relax T° monitoring from Daily
to Weekly. [DWQ imposed Daily monitoring and WET
testing due to system complexity and discharge under zero -
ow receiving -stream conditions.]
Treatment Facility: Application describes treatment system as "15 separate septic tanks and subsurface sand filters
(one tank/sand filter for every two mobile homes" [30 total] — one outfall. Design flow 0.074 MGD. Google Maps
shows currently —50 trailers onsite, but only the southern -most discharge to this system; discharge low/intermittent
therefore difficult to document [Wanda Frazier (ARO), 24Feb2011].
BIMS Downloads and Compliance Review Summary:
• BIMS DMR Reports - Violations record (2007-2010) indicate only one Notice of Violation (NOV) for "late or
missing DMR" for November 2009. No other NOVs; no penalty assessments.
• TOX data Summary — WET history indicates "H" [active, but not discharging] for most of the previous permit
cycle; 2010 = "pass" quarterly tests in May, August and November (see attached report) — no changes
recommended.
• Updated map for renewal (corrected Lat/Long); added parameter codes to Effluent Table, A. (L).
• Changes to the Effluent Page - This Class II discharge has been inactive (no flow) for most of the previous permit
cycle (owner name -change 14Apr2010). Effluent data fall within the bounds of the permit for — the last 1/2 of
2010. The Permittee has requested DWQ to relax monitoring for Temperature from Daily to Weekly for renewal,
and the ARO has raised no objections. However, because the treatment system is complex, the compliance history
is short, and because this facility discharges under zero -flow receiving -stream conditions, this renewal will
compromise — lower T° monitoring from Daily to 2/Week — the same as TRC (currently the 2nd most frequent).

Hi Joe,
Here are my comments for the permit renewal for NCO060283 Rideeview Acres MHP (Bunc. Co.).
Date issued: 11-1-2005
Expiration date: 10-31-2010
I met with the contract operator, Trevor McMinn and the owner, Parks Banks, and did a compliance evaluation
inspection at this facility on 3-25-10.
Everything looks good. Attached is that inspection report and the facility cover page.
Here's what I would suggest for the draft permit:
> WWTP location -- change to: 5 Impala Trail, west of Emma
Supplement to permit cover page: see attachment
Continue to operate: 0.0078 MGD WWTP with: 15 separate septic tanks & dual subsurface sand filter systems
(one septic tank and two stone, gravel and filter sand filtration trenches for every two mobile homes); tablet
chlorinator (located under the black metal cover at the first mailbox on the right); chlorine contact chamber
(located under the street); and tablet dechlorinator, located at the step cascade re -aeration on the side of the
creek bank.
Note: Repairs to the septic tanks & subsurface sand filters were made the week of 3-22-10. Two blockages were
located and unstopped in two of the individual systems. In addition, two French drains which intercepted
high groundwater, were removed from over the top of these individual systems. Steve Jones, Bunc. Co. Hlth.
Dept. (250-5023) visited the site on 3-19-10 and notified DWQ. Rain occurred for several days during the
repairs, resulting in a discharge of groundwater collected in the French drains (as noted in the inspection
report.)
Note: There has never been a discharge of wastewater from this system, since it was installed. The ARO's previous
staff report indicated this, as do the previous inspections.
Frequency: The permittee is requesting that temperature monitoring be reduced to weekly, to coincide with weekly
ORC visits. This seems reasonable and the
ARO agrees with this modification.
ARO recommends renewal of this permit.
Is this email sufficient?
Thanks,
Wanda

Permit Renewal Request
Mrs. Dina Sprinkle
Please find enclosed a permit renewal package for Ridgeview Acres Mobile Nome Park
(NPDES permit # NC0060283). There have been no changes or modifications to this
facility since the issuance of the last permit. We respectfully request this permit to be
renewed. We also hope that you find this package in order.
Please consider the monitoring frequency on the new permit for Temperature. The system
is completely underground except for the discharge pipe. 'There is little variation expected
in temperature day to day. The facility is listed as Grade 1 and visitation is three days per
week, however the temperature requirement of "daily" would require 5 days of.
temperature monitoring. The Park is tilled with retirees not able or qualified to make the
measurements themselves. Thanks in advance for your assistance in this matter. -
if we may be of further assistance please do not hesitate to call or correspond.
Sincerely,
Trevor C. McMinn

2. The daily average dissolved oxygen effluent concentration shall not be less than 5.0 mg/L.
3. The limit for total residual chlorine will take effect May 1, 2007, only if chlorine is used for disinfection.
4. Chronic Toxicity (Ceriodaphnia) Pass/Fail at 90%: February, May, August & November (see A. (2)).
5. The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodapbnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodapbnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or
"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or
subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of February, May, August & November.
Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all
treatment processes.
(continued on next page)
Pen -nit N00060283
A. (2.) (continued)
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit .
limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as
described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998)
or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does
have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection
methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase H Chronic
Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the.
pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the
following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ /Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30
days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature.
Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report
with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the
Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be
required during the following month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division
of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and
modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism
survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an
invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month
following the month of the initial monitoring.

The Water Pollution Control System Certification Commission has classified the subject
facility as a Grade 1 Biological Water Pollution Control Treatment System.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 8G .0202 and your permit, you must designate an Operator in
Responsible Charge (ORC) and Back -Up Operator who has a current certification of the
appropriate type and grade for this system. Your facility requires a Grade 1 or
higher Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator in Responsible Charge and
Grade 1 or higher Back -Up Operator. Failure to designate a properly certified operator and
back-up operator constitutes a violation of the permit issued for this facility. The Technical
Assistance and Certification Unit routinely updates the facility designation database in our
office. Our records indicate that this facility does not have a current designation form on file.
Enclosed is a new designation form. Please complete this designation form and submit it to
this office by July 22, 2001.
If you have any questions concerning this update or the designation of an ORC, please contact
me at 919/733-0026 ex 315.

TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
2 82. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity'or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR;
2. ._ Submit a written request for remission or mitigation_ including a detailed justification___
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
� M
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

dechlorination tablet itself. This system consists of underground sand filters which are excellent filters.
Please consider that this facility has never had a violation for TSS in the past. We respectfully request that
any enforcement action takes the above items into consideration.
Your understanding in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
If I can be of further assistance please don't hesitate to call.

Collection System: Consists of 4-inch pvc gravity sewer lines which run from the mobile homes
to septic the individual septic tanks. There are no pump stations or force mains.

This wastewater treatment facility consists of 15 separate septic tanks and subsurface sand filter systems
(one tank/filter for every two mobile home spaces), a collection line, chlorine contact chamber, and effluent
discharge pipe.
I drove through the park and saw no evidence of ponding or apparent problems with the septic tanks and
subsurface sand filter systems during this inspection.
Review of the files and Discharge Monitoring Reports shows there has never been a discharge.
Mr. Jones was able to locate the effluent discharge pipe on April 5, 2006.

Dear Janet
I am writing you to tell you that I did dye the effluent pipe at Ridgeview on 4-5-06 and found where it
enters the creek. I marked it with a stake and a red flag for future reference. I did not find a cascade
reaeration system but I did find some broke cement, that I think at one time must have been it.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
This wastewater treatment facility consists of 15 separate septic tanks and subsurface sandfilter systems
(one tank/filter for every two mobile home spaces), a collection line, chlorine contact chamber, and cascade
reaeration.
There was no flow at the time of inspection. Mark Jones/ORC for Ridgeview accompanied me during the
inspection and stated he has not seen a flow since he took over the system in April 2005. Mr. Jones and I
walked along each home space and did not see any evidence of ponding or any apparent problems with the
septic tanks or subsurface systems at this time.
Mr. Jones and I were unable to locate the effluent discharge pipe for the system. He stated he has walked
in the stream looking for the discharge pipe but has yet to find it. He intends to dye the system soon in
hopes of locating the pipe.
I observed that residents of the park have been disposing of their yard waste/grass clippings and
brush/branches over the bank next to the creek near the entrance to the park. This has covered part of the
creek next to the culvert. Over the years this may have covered up the effluent discharge pipe at the creek.
Please ensure that the residents dispose of their yard trash at a permitted landfill.
For your own liability, the chlorine contact chamber should be secured.

Dear Mr. Banks:
I have inspected the sand filter serving lots 16 and 18 twice in the last; month (see enclosed
inspection reports). On December 19, 2003 the filter was overflowing into the street and was in need
of repair. The filter appears to surface during wet weather. On January 6, 2004 1 inspected the sand
filter once more and it appeared repairs had been made. I am now informed 'that the repairs were
to an adjacent water line and not the sand filter: Furthermore, I am informed that during the last rain
event the filter once more discharged to the street.
In order to avoid further regulatory action, which may include civil penalties of as much as
$25,000.00 per day per violation, please have the sand filter serving lots:' 16 and 18 repaired
immediately. Once the repairs are complete you should inform me immediately.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter you may contact me at (828) 251-6208.

I don't really see a problem with reducing the visits to the facility
because of the lack of discharge. As for closing off the system, I
don't think that is a good idea because it does, as you say, force the
system to function even more as a non -discharge system
(subsurface disposal) and would likely need approval by the local
health dept. Why did we never force this discharge to go througlyf
he zero flow policy of having to justify the continuance of its
"discharge" without having to meet 5 and 2? Forrest

Subject: Requested Thoughts on Ridgeview Acres MHP Request
Priority: normal
Forrest - I would like your thoughts and guidance on this.
Ridgeview Acres MHP has an existing wwtp composed of 15
individual septic tank, subsurface sand filter systems (one per two
mobile homes) discharging to a common collection line and tablet
chlorination system with pipe discharge to what is a zero flow
stream. We haven't pushed the extension of this outfall to the main
branch because of the difficulty (encroachment approval to cross
under a state road as well as easement requirements to cross
someone else's property) was thought to be a hardship
considering that routine inspections as well as dmr reports
(checked daily) have never observed a discharge.
Question #1 - Given the history of never discharging, the
permittee believes that daily checks should be reduced to a
frequency of once per month (we should be able to work something
out here although I'm thinking that weekly or two per month would
be more agreeable ) .......... what can you support?
Question #2 - The permittee's engineer is recommending
that the common collection line the septic tank systems discharge
to should be modified by placing a valve and observation port in
the collection line before the chlorine contact tank. The valve would
be closed unless or until routine observations showed that the line
was holding treated wastewater, at which time it would be gradually

released thru the chlorine system. I need your thoughts on this- My
thoughts are that allowing the system to be designed and to
function as a non -discharge system is different from allowing a
modification which forces it to function as a non discharge system,
but on the other hand - what's the problems here and why not ?
Let me know your thoughts when you have time.

RE: Ridge View Acres Mobile home Park— Sewage Disposal Systems
Mrs. Parks Banks
P.O. Box 387
Barnardsville, NC 28709
Dear Mrs. Banks:
in 1984, fifteen sewage disposal systems for the subject mobile home park were installed in
accordance 1vith my plans. 'Ibese were designed as Muted sand filter trench systems witha common collection
system which could discharge to a stream; however, it was expected that there would be little or no discharge.
The reason for this is that the systems tend to act like sand line trench drainfields. After the sand has treated
the septic tank effluent, it passes into the surrounding soil rather than passing into the collection pipes at the
bottom of the sand f hers.
For the past fifteen years, these systems have been chocked for discharge and no discharge has ever
been noted on the required reports. At prewM I understandtbat the systems are checked daily. Based on the
Past performance of these systems, it is highly unlikely that there will ever be any discharge.
I recommend the foIlowing:
L You request in writing of the Director of the Division of Environmental Managcm nt NCUENR that
checks for discharge be reduced, With minor changes, I rocommend that the checks be made on a
monthly basis,
2. I recommend that a valve be installed in the collection line after the last sand filter and before the
chlorination unit. Tikis valve would always be closed unless there is indication that the sand filters are no
longer capable of operating as sand line trench drainfrelds.
3. An inspection port should be installed just before the newly installed valve. This inspection portamild
wrisist of a 4" tee irk the collection line with 4"riser with a plug at the ground surface. This inspection
port would be used to determine if the valve is holding back any treated effluent. A srnall muount of
effluent in the inspection port would bean early indication that discharge may be necessary. This
inspection port could be constructed with a Boat attached to a small rod, which extends through a small
hole in the plug. The length of rod extending through the plug would allow a visual indication of effluent
Icvel at all tunes.
4. If the level of effluent in the inspection port rose to near the ground level, this would be an indication that
discharge would likely be necessary.
S. Before opening of the valve to allow discharge, the discharge unit would be carefully inspected to insure
that it would operate as intended. Initial discharge would be a controlled slow discharge with testing of
the effluent to insure the intended quality. Daily inspections would again be performed.
Sand linedtrench drainlields are not new. They have been used and extensively tested in North
Carolina. In several other states, this type of system is permitted on a regular basis. At the present tune, I am
working frith Dr. Robert Rubin of NC State to use this type of system for the elimination of straight piping
where conditions are similar. The experience gained with these systems should be of value in that work

WATER (aUALITY SECTION
ASP, E\rILLE 2FC—IONAL OEF{CE
As documented in the SSO two French drains had been installed across two underground sand filter beds to
serve as gutter drains. In the course of this very wet winter the sand filters backed and began flowing excess
ground water and gray water (after septic solids removal) into an open ditch. This was brought to our
attention by a Buncombe County Health Inspector.
Immediately after this notification the septic tanks were pumped to ensure a no flow situation. As soon as a
locate was performed on site personnel dug up and removed the French Drains. An exploratory dig found
the sand in the filters to be in good shape but effluent pipes were found crushed in two locations. The pipes
were immediately replaced. During this entire operation a pump truck kept these locations from flowing.
The owner acted swiftly to get the collection system back in compliance and went to considerable expense
to do so. Please consider both the speed of response and expense the owner incurred in any enforcement
action.
Your understanding in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
If I can be of further assistance please don't hesitate to call.

Inspection Summary:
FACILITY:
The Ridgeview Acres Mobile Home Park WWTP is classified as a Class I Biological system with a
permitted flow of 0.0078 MGD.
It consists of 15 separate septic tanks & dual subsurface sand filter systems (one septic tank
and two stone, gravel and filter sand filtration trenches for every two mobile homes); tablet
chlorinator (located under the black metal cover at the first mailbox on the right); chlorine
contact chamber (located under the street); and dechlorination tablets located at the step
cascade re -aeration.
Engineering drawings by Ken Pankow (rev. 8/22/85) are on file for reference.
The lot numbers (1-30) do not correspond to the house numbers (which are the newer 911 numbering
system). The sign at the MHP entrance indicates the lower lots to be numbers 25-54 (total of
30).
The 24 mobile homes on the upper level have individual septic tanks / conventional systems.
Note: Repairs to the septic tanks & subsurface sand filters were made the week of 3-22-10.
Two blockages were located and unstopped in two of the individual systems.
In addition, two French drains which intercepted high groundwater were found and removed from
over the top of these individual systems. Steve Jones, Bunc. Co. Hlth. Dept. visited the site
on 3-19-10 and notified DWQ.
COLLECTION SYSTEM:
The collection system consists of 4-inch pvc gravity sewer from the 30 mobile homes to the 15
individual septic tanks.
There are no pump stations or force mains.

SUBJECT: Wastewater Collection System
Owner & Operator Requirements
Ridgeview Acres MHP
NCO060283
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Banks:
I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the requirements for sewerage collection
systems that were first established in 15 NCAC .02H .0200 in March 2000 and are now found in
15 NCAC 2T .0403, Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters, which became effective
September 1, 2006. These Regulations place significant operation, maintenance and reporting
requirements on those entities that own or operate a wastewater collection system with average
daily flows of less than 200,000 gallons per day.
These regulations are applicable to your facility. This letter is provided as guidance
to assist you in complying with the new reporting and operations and maintenance (O&M)
requirements and to advise you that you are subject to system review, inspections and possible
enforcement, if the system is not in compliance with the regulation.
For your convenience and easy reference, a highlight of these requirements and the
following guidance are offered (see enclosed). You may find the regulations using the following
web site: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/peres/Collection%20SVstems/CollectionSVstemsHome.htmI
The Asheville Regional Office will be increasing the level of oversight, compliance
activities and enforcement relating to collections systems, therefore, we wanted to be sure you
are aware of the requirements for these systems. We will be performing NPDES Wastewater
Collection System inspections sometime in the near future.
