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

Part II
Page 2 of 14
a. The "average monthlyconcentration," 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. T'he 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 coli4orm bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of
the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count
for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
"Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. I 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. I
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.

Part II .

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

Part 11
Page 4 of 14
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one iday until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably
represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(l) of the Clean Water Act.
I. Duty to Comply

SECTION C. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS
Pursuant to Chapter 90A-44 of North Carolina General Statutes, and upon classification of the
facility by the Certification Commission, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater
treatment plant operator in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities.
Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the
classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission.
The permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and any
grade to comply with the conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A .0202. The ORC of the facility
must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility at least
daily, excluding weekends and holidays, and must properly manage and document daily
operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title
15A, Chapter 8A .0202. Once the facility is classified, the permittee shall submit a letter to the
Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible charge within thirty
days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50% complete.

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

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

PROCESS DESCRIPTION
This process is known as the extended aeration modification of the ac-
tivated sludge process. It consists of a tank called the "aeration tank"
into which the wastewater flows. This tank will normally hold one day's
flow of sewage. Air is blown into the tank which allows the bacteria to
grow and consume the organic material in1the waste. In the process; large
quantities of bacteria grow and are heldjin suspension by the turbulent
aeration action. This suspension, the activated sludge, is known as the
mixed liquor suspended solids, abbreviated as MLSS. The concentration
is expressed in units of milligrams per liter (mg/1). When operating
properly, this suspension will be a chocolate brown in color with only
a slight "earthy odor". Air must be maintained at all times as the mi-
croscopic life functions in an aerobic (With oxygen) environment. Lack
of sufficient oxygen will result in odor�and poor quality effluent.''
Once the incoming soluble organic waste .is converted into soluble organic
bacterial masses, it can be settled out. When it enters a quiet compart-
ment, the settling compartment, the bacterial mass settles out leaving
behind'a very clear liquid. This liquidis siphoned off and becomes the
plant effluent.
The settled out bacteria are returned balck to the aeration tank and con-
tinue to be fed by incoming wastes. Thej total quantity of bacterial mass,
MLSS, must then continue to increase, unless some of the bacteria are
taken out of the system. This is explainedfurther under the section en-
titled Sludge Disposal.
With the aid of a few simple tests and a little experience and pride, the
operator should be able to continuously produce a high quality effluent
while devoting a minimal amount of time to plant operation.

3. Definitions
a. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected in a one -
month period. The monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -month period.
b. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during a
one -week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria
is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -week period.
c. Flow, M3/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the
24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the
arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar
month.
d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the
summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual
values.
M5

Part I
Permit No. NC
e. 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 equiva-
lent 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).
f. Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following:
(1) Not less than four influent or effluent portions collected
at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and composited
in proportion to flow.
(2) Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions
collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional
to the flow.
(3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over
a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow.
g. Grab Sample: A "grab sample" is a single influent or effluent
portion which is not a composite sample. The sample(s) shall be
collected at the period(s) most representative of the total discharge.

PART III
Permit No. NC
PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS
A. Requirements for Effluent Limitations on Pollutants Attributable to
Industrial Users
1. Effluent limitations from this discharger are listed in Part I of this permit.
It is apparent that other pollutants attributable to inputs from major
contributing industries using the municipal system may also be present in the
permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information becomes
available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be
revised to specify effluent limitations for any or all of such other pollutants
in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality standards.
2. Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction of the following
wastes into the waste treatment system:
a. Wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works.
b. Wastes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment works.
C. Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to the
flow in sewers or interference with the proper operation of the treatment
works.
d. Wastewaters at a flow rate and/or pollutant discharge rate which is
excessive over relatively short time periods so as to cause a loss of
treatment efficiency.
e. Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the treatment
works resulting in interference but in no case heat in such quantities
that the temperature at the treatment works influent exceeds 400C (1040F)
unless the works are designed to accomodate such heat. (After August 2.5, 1981
3. With regard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit,
it may be necessary for the permittee to supplement the requirements of the
Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 403) to ensure compliance by
the permittee with all applicable effluent limitations. Such actions by
the permittee may be necessary regarding some or all of the major contri-
buting industries discharging to the municipal system.
The permittee shall require each major contributing industry subject to
pre-treatment standards or any other applicable requirements promulgated
pursuant to Section 307 of the Act to submit to the permittee periodic
notice (at intervals not to exceed 9 months) regarding specific actions taken
to achieve full compliance with the requirements of Section 307. Starting
on the permittee shall submit semi-annually to the permit
issuing authority a report summarizing the progress of all known major
contributing industries subject to the requirements of Section 307 towards
full compliance with such requirements. Such report shall include at
least the following information:
M 13

PART T I I
Permit No. NC
a. A narrative summary of actions taken by the permittee to ensure
that all major contributing industries comply with the requirements
of Section 307.
b. The number of major contributing industries using the treatment
works, divided into SIC group categories.
c. The number of major contributing industries in full compliance
with the requirements of Section 307, or not subject to these
requirements (e.g., discharge only compatible pollutants).
d. A list identifying by name those major contributing industries
presently in violation of the requirements of Section 307.
4. Immediately upon issuance of this permit, the permittee shall establish
and implement a procedure to obtain from all major contributing indus-
tries specific information on the quality and quantity of effluents intro-
duced by such industrial users. The following information shall be
reported to the permitting agency on a quarterly basis beginning
; quarterly reports reflecting no change from the previous quarter
may simply relate this fact, without submitting repetitive data.
a. Section IV, Standard Form A shall be completed and submitted for
each major contributing industry.
b. Information on the municipal facility as a whole is to be reported
on the monthly Monitoring Report Form (DEM -No. MR 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and
1.3).
Once the specific nature of industrial contributions has been identified,
data collection and reporting requirements may be levied for other
parameters in addition to those included on Form (DEM No. 1.0, 1.1,
1.2, and 1.3).
5. Based on the information regarding industrial inputs reported by the
permittee pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the permittee will be
notified by the permitting authority of the availability of industrial
effluent guidelines on which to calculate allowable inputs of incompatible"
pollutants based on BPT for each industry group. Copies of guidelines
will be provided as appropriate. Not later than 120 days following
receipt of this information, the permittee shall submit to the permitting
authority calculations reflecting allowable inputs from each major con-
tributing industry. The permittee shall also require all such major
contributing industries to implement necessary pre-treatment requirements
(as provided for in 40 CFR, Part 403), providing the permitting authority
with notifications of specific actions taken in this regard. At that time,
the permit may be amended to reflect the municipal facility's effluent
requirements for incompatible pollutants.

Dear Mayor Green:
A review of the subject permit by the Asheville Regional Office of
the Division of Environmental Management has revealed an error exists
in the BOD5 parameter on the effluent limitations page for the Eastside
Wastewater Treatment Plant (discharge 001). The weekly average BOD5
limit is listed as 30 mg/l rather than 45 mg/l.
I.am enclosing a corrected final effluent limits page that should
replace the page in your permit. If you have any questions, please

a. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected in a one -
month period. The monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -month period.
b. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during a
one -week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria
is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -week period.
c. Flow, M3/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the
24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the
arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar
month.
d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the
summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual
values.
M5

Part I
Page of
Permit No. NC
e. 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 equiva-
lent 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).
f. Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following:
(1) Not less than four influent or effluent portions collected
at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and composited
in proportion to flow.
(2) Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions
collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional
to the flow.
(3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over
a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow.
g. Grab Sample: A "grab sample" is a single influent or effluent
portion which is not a composite sample. The sample(s) shall be
collected at the period(s) most representative of the total discharge.
4. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC
regulations published pursuant to N. C. G. S. 143-215.63 et seq, The
Water and Air Quality Reporting Act, and to regulations published pursuant

PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS
A. Requirements for Effluent Limitations on Pollutants Attributable to
Industrial Users
1. Effluent limitations from this discharger are listed in Part I of this permit.
It is apparent that other pollutants attributable to inputs from major
contributing industries using the municipal system may also be present in the
permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information becomes
available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be
revised to specify effluent limitations for any or all of such other pollutants
in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality standards.
2. Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction of the following
wastes into the waste treatment system:
a. Wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works.
b. Wastes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment works.
C. Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to the
flow in sewers or interference with the proper operation of the treatment
works.
d. Wastewaters at a flow rate and/or pollutant discharge rate which is
excessive over relatively short time periods so as to cause a loss of
treatment efficiency.
e. Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the treatment
works resulting in interference but in no case heat in such quantities
that the temperature at the treatment works influent exceeds 40 C (104 oF)
unless the works are designed to accomodate such heat. (After August 25, 1981)
3. With regard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit,
it may be necessary for the permittee to supplement the requirements of the
Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 403) to ensure compliance by
the permittee with all applicable effluent limitations. Such actions by
the permittee may be necessary regarding some or all of the major contri-
buting industries discharging to the municipal system.
The permittee shall require each major contributing industry subject to
pre-treatment standards or any other applicable requirements promulgated
pursuant to Section 307 of the Act to submit to the permittee periodic
notice (at intervals not to exceed 9 months) regarding specific actions taken
to achieve full compliance with the requirements of Section 307. Starting
on the permittee shall submit semi-annually to the permit
issuing authority a report summarizing the progress of all known major
contributing industries subject to the requirements of Section 307 towards
full compliance with such requirements. Such report shall include at
least the following information:
M 1 1:1

PART III
Page of
Permit No. NC
a. A narrative summary of actions taken by the permittee to ensure
that all major contributing industries comply with the requirements
of Section 307.
b. The number of major contributing industries using the treatment
. works, divided into SIC group categories.
c. The number of major contributing industries in full compliance
with.the requirements of Section 307, or not subject to these
requirements (e.g., discharge -only compatible pollutants).
d. A list identifying by name those major contributing industries
presently in violation of the requirements of Section 307.
4. Immediately upon issuance of this permit, the permittee shall establish
and implement a procedure to obtain from all major contributing indus-
tries specific information on the quality and quantity of effluents intro-
duced by such industrial users. The following information shall be
reported to the permitting agency on a quarterly basis beginning
; quarterly reports reflecting no change from the previous quarter
may simply relate this fact, without submitting repetitive data.
a. Section IV, Standard Form A shall be completed and submitted for
each major contributing industry.
b. Information on the municipal facility as a whole is to be reported
on the monthly Monitoring Report Form (DEM - No. MR 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and
1.3).
Once the specific nature of industrial contributions has been identified,
data collection and reporting requirements may be levied for other
parameters in addition to those included on Form (DEM No. 1.0, 1.1,
1.2, and 1.3).
5. Based on the information regarding industrial inputs reported by the
permittee pursuant 'to the preceding paragraph, the permittee will be
notified by the permitting authority of the availability of industrial
effluent guidelines on which to calculate allowable inputs of incompatible
pollutants based on BPT for each industry group. Copies of guidelines
will be provided as appropriate. Not later than 120 days following
receipt of this information, the permittee shall submit to the permitting
authority calculations reflecting allowable inputs from each major con-
tributing industry. The permittee shall also require all such major
contributing industries to implement necessary pre-treatment requirements
(as provided for in 40 CFR, Part 403), providing the permitting authority
with notifications of specific actions taken in this regard. At that time,
the permit may be amended to reflect the municipal facility's effluent
requirements for incompatible pollutants.

trough (e) floating skimmers (f) 3-weir level and rate control
device and (g) the associated plumbing, equipment and
accessories as noted herein or on the drawings.
The structural support frame shall be constructed of 4" x 6"
304 stainless steel channels. The support frames will be placed
into notches in the clarifier tank walls. The frame will have the
MLSS return trough attached to its underside. The trough will
also be fabricated of 304 stainless steel.
The hydraulic suction hood and structural support fins shall be
of 304 stainless steel plate. The hydraulic suction hoods will
bolt to the floor of the clarifier tank. All welds shall be full -
fillet where required and in accordance with approved welding
practice.
For this project, two (2) Split C1arAtors, Model 20320 shall
be provided, installed and arranged within the clarifier tanks as
shown on the drawings.
b. Inlet Coarse Screens: Stainless steel circular screens
shall be provided. For this project, four 4 are required.
Each inlet screen shall provide 4 linear feet of screen. The
coarse screens shall consist of 1/2" wide slots on 2" centers.
These screens have an 8" flange for connecting to the 8" PVC
distribution pipe. They are installed in the aeration tank as per
the drawings.
•

12150
• C. Walkways and Handrails: A walkway shall be
provided across the entire support frame consisting of banded
aluminum grating, 1" I -Bar, set into a frame made of stainless
steel. This stainless steel frame shall serve also as a 4" kick -
plate
Two handrails are supplied. Handrails shall be of 1 1/4"
aluminum tubing with aluminum handrail fittings by
SPEED -RAIL. (or equal). The handrail risers shall be securely
mounted to the support frame and of proper length to place the
top -rail 42" above the walkway with a mid -rail 18" below the
top -rail.
d. Skimmers: Specially designed floating -skimmer
assemblies shall be located in the clarifier chamber every four
feet. Each skimmer shall consist of a formed floating head
with a telescoping pipe. This assembly will insert into union
and discharge up into the MESS return trough. Air is supplied
from 2" stainless steel air pipes located on the support frame.
The telescoping section shall allow unrestricted level
adjustment to accommodate the rising and, falling clarifier
levels caused by the surge control system. The skimmers
consist of a stainless steel union and ell for connection to the
RAS trough and PVC fittings and material sized to remove any
floatable that enter into the clarifier chamber.
C. Clarifier Chamber: The clarifier chamber shall be
designed such that stainless steel distribution headers are
located along both sides of the outer edge of each hydraulic
suction hood These inlet headers have ports cut into them and
together, the inlet headers and ports are sized to provide even
distribution across the entire settling area to prevent inlet
turbulence during surge flows. The clarifier shall be
rectangular and provide 640 square feet of surface area.
f. Sludge Returns: Return sludge air lifts made of
4 inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe shall be located every four feet
along the apex of the hydraulic suction hoods. These air lifts
rapidly lift the sludge from the suction hood and return the
sludge back to the aeration tank through the sludge return
trough. Each air lift rate shall be controlled by a 1/2" ball
valve. A pneumatic valve on the 2" SS air supply pipe will

12150
control the air supply to the air lifts. The flow rate for each air

accumulation or icing.
h. Level and Rate Control: Two (2) effluent boxes
with adjustable low and high level weirs and a submerged 2-
5/8" diameter orifice for surge control shall be furnished on the
effluent withdrawal end of each triangular collection pipe. The
low level weir will set the minimum operating level, passing
flow directly to an orifice plate for surge protection. The
orifice shall be sized to limit the maximum effluent rate,
keeping the clarifier surface settling rates below maximum
design standards. The upper edge of the orifice plate shall
serve as the high level by-pass weir to limit the maximum water
level within the plant. The distance between the low and high
level weirs shall provide 5" surge storage within the freeboard
across the entire mixed liquor aeration tank. A manual swing
gate valve with the orifice located on the paddle portion will
allow the operator to shut off effluent from each effluent box.
This allows for effluent shut off for periods of cleaning and
maintenance. A 8 inch effluent pipe, a flexible hose and
stainless steel clamps are provided to facilitate field
connections.
i. Guarantee: The manufacturer shall warrant the
structure and all equipment on the Split C1arAtor to be free

closely maintain the sludge age or solids retention time upon
which the efficiency and operational characteristics of the acti-
vated sludge process depend, an adjustable volume of mixed
liquor shall be transferred each day from the aeration basin to
the digester. A time -controlled air lift shall be used to maintain
the mixed liquor in the optimum range (2500-3500 mg/1).. The
time will be set to pump the proper volume of mixed liquor
containing the solids content equivalent to the average daily
solids production. The system variables are time and daily
solids production and the time is easily adjusted to maintain the
mixed liquor within the recommended parameters. The daily
variations in solids production are then automatically
compensated for once the time frame is set as the mixed liquor
moves towards its thinner parameter fewer solids are trans-
ferred or, conversely, more solids are transferred with a thicker
mixed liquor.
These specifications describe a diffuser access system covered
by U.S. Patents.
b. Manufacturer: These specifications and
accompanying drawings describe a system with equipment
furnished by AERO-MOD, Inc., 7927 U.S. Highway 24,
Manhattan, Kansas, 66502.
2. Equipment Details
a. Aerators: The digester shall be aerated in order to
produce a sludge with good dewatering characteristics and
prevent odors. Stainless steel coarse bubble diffusers will be
used for air transfer and will be manufactured by Aeromix.
The diffusers shall be set at the same submergence as in the
aeration basin and be sized to supply at least 30 CFM per
thousand cubic feet of digester capacity. The diffusers shall be
set at a submergence depth in the aeration tank as shown on

• 12150
the plans. As shown on the plans, the air manifolds (drop
pipes) shall be wall mounted with a stainless steel support
system. Easy diffuser removal from above the water line will
be by lightweight PVC drop pipes. Removal and replacement
will be assisted by an 1 1/2" Schedule 5 stainless steel guide
rail system. The guide rail will be bolted to the stainless steel
wall mounting support system in the field. No field welding
will be required. The drop pipes shall be 2" Schedule 40 PVC
pipe. A 1-1/2" stainless steel manual throttling and shut-off
valve along with a stainless steel union and ell shall be supplied
in each manifold air feeder line. A single 1 1/2" connection
from the main air line to the flex connector on the aerator
assembly is required for each aerator. The air manifolds shall
be wall mounted, as shown on the plans, with a stainless steel
guide rail system For this project, six (66) Model WA-50-PC-
488 aerators with four 4) 24" SS diffusers per PVC drop
pipe are required in the aerobic digester.
A 4" pneumatically controlled valve to shut off the air to the
main air header pipe in each digester will be provided by the
manufacturer.
b. Solids Wasting Air Lifts: The sludge wasting air
lift shall be sized for a running time at design loading of
approximately 30-60 minutes per day. All components below
the water line shall be of PVC pipe and fittings. A
pneumatically controlled automatic valve and a manual
throttling and shut-off valve shall be supplied in the air feed
be. Theentire assembly shall be provided with anchor bolts.
The digester shall be constructed with a supernatant weir notch
to control the digester water level and return displaced
supernatant back to the reactor tank. For this project, one 1
Model AL-200 air lift is required to waste mixed liquor from
the aeration basins to the aerobic digester.
C. Controls: The automatic solids wasting system
shall utilize a control panel (SAC-100) operating on 115 VAC.
It will provide the logic and pilot air to the pneumatic valves of
the air lifts and digester air diffusers. Reliable 1/8" solenoid
valves shall be within the control panel to energize the
pneumatic valves. A 1/6 hp pilot air compressor with a
0

•
•
12150
refrigerant dryer with a 2 gallon air tank and pressure switch
shall be furnished to supply at least 20 psi pilot air to the
system. When wasting cycle is activated, the pneumatic valves
feeding the digester aeration system will be closed for a set
time (usually 60 minutes) to allow the digester solids to settle,
leaving a clear supernatant to decant when the air lift pump is
operating. This will be followed by the air lift operation for a
set time (usually between 30-60 minutes). At the conclusion
of the solids wasting procedure, the digester aeration shall be
restored.
D. Guarantee: The manufacturer shall warrant the
aerators and air lifts and all pneumatic valves to be free from
defects or deficiencies in material, workmanship and design for
a period of one year from date of start-up.

days prior to the expiration date. Any discharge without a
permit after the expiration will subject the permittee to
enforcement procedures as provided in NCGS 143-215.6, and 33
USC 1251 et seq.
11. Industrial Pretreatment Standards
Permittee shall require any industrial dischargers into the
permitted system to meet Federal Pretreatment Standards (40
CFR, Part 403) promulgated in response to Section 307(b) of
the Act. The permittee shall provide semiannual reports to
the permitting agency regarding the pretreatment
requirements which have been imposed on each major
contributing industry and the results achieved therefrom.
Other information may be needed regarding new industrial
discharges and this will be requested from the permittee
after the permitting agency has received notice of the new
industrial discharge.
A major contributing industry is one that: (a) has a flow
of 25,000 gallons or more per average work day; (b) has a
flow greater than five percent of the flow carried by the
municipal system receiving the waste; (c) has in its waste a
toxic pollutant in toxic amounts as defined in standards
issued under Section 307(a) of the Act; (d) has significant
impact either singly or in combination with other
contributing industries, on the treatment works or the
quality of its effluent.
Any change in the definition of a major contributing
industry as a result of promulgations in response to Section
307 of the Act shall become a part of this permit.

PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS
A. Requirements for Effluent Limitations on Pollutants Attributable
to Industrial Users
1. Effluent limitations are listed in -Part I of this permit.
Other pollutants attributable to inputs from major contributing
industries using the municipal system may be present in the
permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information
becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants,
this permit may be revised to specify effluent limitations for
any or all of such other pollutants in accordance with best
practicable technology or water quality standards.
2. Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction
of the following wastes into the waste treatment system:
a. Wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the
treatment works.
b. Wastes which will cause corrosive structural damage to
treatment works, and in no case discharges with pH less than
5 unless the system is specifically designed to a.ccomodate
such discharges.
c. Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause
obstructions to the flow in sewers or interference with the
proper operation of the treatment works.
d. Wastewaters at a flow rate and/or pollutant concentration
which will cause a loss of treatment efficiency.
e. Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in
the treatment works, resulting in interference but in no
case heat in such quantities that the temperature at the
treatment works influent exceeds 40 C (104 F) unless the
works are designed to accommodate such heat.
3. With regard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of
this permit, it may be necessary for the permittee to supplement
the requirements of the Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR,
Part 403) to ensure compliance by the permittee with all
applicable effluent limitations. Such actions by the permittee
may be necessary regarding some or all of the major contributing
industries discharging to the municipal system.

4. This Permit shall be modified, or alternatively, revoked and
reissued, to incorporate or modify an approved POTW Pretreatment
Program or to include a compliance schedule for the development
of a POW Pretreatment Program as required under Section
402(b)(8) of the Clean Water Act and implementing regulations or
by the requirements of the approved State pretreatment program,
as appropriate.
B. Previous Permits
All previous State water quality permits issued to this
facility, whether for construction or operation or discharge,
are hereby revoked by issuance of this permit. The conditions,
requirements, terms, and provisions of this permit authorizing
discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System govern discharges from this facility.
C. Construction
No construction of wastewater treatment facilities or additions
thereto shall be begun until Final Plans and Specifications have
been submitted to the Division of Environmental Management and
written approval and Authorization to Construct has been issued.
D. Certified Operator
Pursuant to Chapter 90A of North Carolina General Statutes, the
permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant
operator in responsible charge of the wastewater treatment
facilities. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade
equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the
wastewater treatment facilities.
E. Groundwater Monitoring
The permittee shall, upon written notice from the Director of
the Division of Environmental Management, conduct groundwater
monitoring as may be required to determine the compliance of
this NPDES permitted facility with the current groundwater
standards.

Part III Continued
F. Toxicity Reopener
This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued to
incorporate toxicity limitations and monitoring requirements in the
event toxicity testing or other studies conducted on the effluent or
receiving stream indicate that detrimental effects may be expected
in the receiving stream as a result of this discharge.
G. Limitations Reopener
This permit shall be modified, or alternatively, revoked and
reissued, to comply with any applicable effluent standard or
limitation issued or approved under Sections 301(b) (2) (C), and
(D), 304(b) (2), and 307(a) (2) of the Clean Water Act, if the
effluent standard or limitation so issued or approved:
1. contains different conditions or is otherwise more stringent
than any effluent limitation in the permit, or
2. controls any pollutant not limited in the permit.
The permit as modified or reissued under this paragraph shall also
contain any other requirements in the Act then applicable.
