Permit No. NCO061786
Poplar Trails Subdivision
Cabarrus County, NC
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NCO061786 was issued on
December 23, 1999 for the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State from
your facility. The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit
and the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the
Permit. If you have not already done so, it is suggested that you thoroughly read the
Permit. Of particular importance are Pages 4 and 5.
Pages 4 and 5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for
your discharge. Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The
section headed "Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or
operation), you must initiate the required monitoring. The monitoring results must be
entered on reporting forms furnished or approved by this Agency. If you have not
received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the forms,
please contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the
"Effluent" reporting form (DEM Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form.
It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed, and the original and one copy be
submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee
may be required for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our
Raleigh Office. It is imperative that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent
enforcement action or possible revocation of your permit.

Mr. Woolard
January 5, 2000
The remaining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and
special conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or
discharge(s). The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of
noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are
requirements for a certified wastewater treatment plant operator if you are operating
wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment
facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or discharged, expansion and/or
upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by this
Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the
Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina
General Statutes. A civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation (and/or criminal
penalties) may be assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that you are unable
to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit, you should contact this Office
immediately. A Special Order by Consent (SOC) may be necessary while pursuing action
to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period.
Permits are not automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this
Agency no later than 180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration
date of your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES
Permits are not automatically transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this
Permit, then you should request that the Division of Water Quality rescind the Permit or
request that the Division of Water Quality reissue the Permit to another party, if
necessary.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the
importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at
704/663-1699 in Mooresville of you have any questions or need clarification. We look
forward to providing any assistance.

NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Poplar Trails Subdivision WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO061786
Cabarrus County, NC
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report for the
inspection conducted at the subject facility on October 18, 2000 by Ms. Linda Love of this
Office. It is important that you thoroughly read the report and, especially, this cover letter,
which not only summarizes violations of the subject permit, regulations, and state law, but
discusses needed actions and some options available to you. If you do not understand this
letter, or otherwise have questions, please do not hesitate to contact either Ms. Love,
Richard Bridgeman, or me at 704/663-1699.
As you are well aware, the subject permit and the operation and maintenance of the
wastewater treatment facility have been under close examination for several months. Although
the transaction had occurred several months earlier, the subject permit was officially transferred
to you on December 23, 1999, with a notification that the permit had expired on September 30,
1999. Enclosed with the permit modification for the ownership change was a renewal
application and a checklist for preparation of the permit renewal package. To date, no renewal
application has been received by the Division.
On October 5, 2000, you were assessed a civil penalty of $3,500.00 (LR 00-008) for
failure to submit the April, May, June, and July 2000 discharge monitoring reports. You were

required to within thirty days of receipt of the civil penalty notice to either: 1) submit payment of
the penalty, 2) submit a written request for remission or mitigation, or 3) submit a written request
for an administrative hearing. It is our understanding that you failed to exercise any of these
options. Please be aware that the Division will refer the matter to the Attorney General's Office,
with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the penalty. You should also be aware, based on
your review of Case LR 00-008, that the civil penalty assessment for each subsequent month's
failure to submit the discharge monitoring report may be double the assessment of the previous
month. If the required monitoring, or any portion of the required monitoring, was conducted for
the months since March 2000, it would be in your best interest to immediately contact the
Division with your intent to submit the missing discharge monitoring reports.
It is our understanding that you, as the owner/permittee of the subject facility, have failed
to properly designate an Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and a Back-up ORC. This
failure is a violation of T15A NCAC 8A .0202(a)(1) and the subject permit. We are aware that
you are functioning as the ORC for this facility.
In addition to designating an ORC and Back-up ORC, as the permittee you are required to
insure the wastewater treatment facility is properly operated and maintained at all times. For this
facility, the ORC is required to visit a minimum of once per week, but as often as necessary to
insure the proper operation of the facility. The permit also includes minimum monitoring
requirements. The enclosed report documents that the facility is not receiving the necessary
operation and maintenance. We have to assume that the minimum required effluent and stream
monitoring is not being conducted, since the required self -monitoring reports are not being
submitted.
We understand and appreciate the situation in which you find yourself. As a certified
operator, you must be aware of the disciplinary actions at the disposal of the Water Pollution
Control System Operators Certification Commission. As the permittee, you need to be aware of
the civil and criminal enforcement procedures included in the North Carolina General Statutes.
You have already been assessed a civil penalty; other enforcement actions are probable.
The probability of continued enforcement actions is why it is essential that you
communicate with us, by responding in writing to this report, by giving us a telephone number at
which you can be reached, and by responding to our telephone calls and letters immediately. The
situation can only be resolved with your full cooperation and participation. Following are some
actions which you need to immediately take:
■ You need to immediately and appropriately respond to the civil penalty assessment (Case
No. LR 00-008); we can assure you that, while there is a chance for a settlement, you
should not allow the Division to refer the matter of collection to the Attorney General's
Office.

Mr. Jeffrey Scott Woolard
Page Three
November 14, 2000
■ If self -monitoring since March 2000 was conducted, you need to submit completed
DMR's.
■ You need to immediately submit a completed NPDES permit renewal application.
■ You need to immediately address the invoice for the annual compliance and monitoring
fee ($715.00). We are aware that the Poplar Trails Subdivision homeowners gave you
money specifically to pay this fee on May 5, 2000.
■ You need to contact this Office and advise us of the frequency of your visits to the facility
and of your self -monitoring and operation and maintenance activities.
■ You need to complete and submit the enclosed Water Pollution Control System
Designation Form.
■ Although you made certain commitments at the referenced May 5, 2000 meeting, based
on your stated desire to sell or otherwise transfer ownership of the wastewater treatment
plant and NPDES permit to someone, it is recommended that you contact area utility
companies, such as Heater Utilities, Carolina Water Service, AquaSource, or even the
Cabarrus County Water and Sewer Authority.
It is very important that you realize the seriousness of your situation. You need to
establish and maintain contact with us. It is requested that a written response be submitted to this
Office by December 1, 2000, addressing the deficiencies noted in this cover letter and the
attached Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report. In responding, please address your
comments to the attention of Mr. Richard Bridgeman. Again, should you have questions, please
do not hesitate to contact either Ms. Love, Mr. Bridgeman, or me at 704/663-1699.

Poplar Trails WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO061786
The facility was last inspected by Mr. Roberto Scheller of this Office on July 27, 1999.
The current inspector made several attempts to contact the permittee/ORC prior to the inspection.
PERMIT
The permitted facility is a 0.0056 MGD wastewater treatment plant consisting of a septic
tank, surface sand filter, chlorine contact chamber with tablet disinfection, dechlorination, and
cascade aeration.
The current permit became effective on December 8, 1998 and expired on September 30,
1999. A permit modification to reflect an ownership change was issued on December 23,1999.
No permit renewal package has been submitted; therefore the facility -is currently operating
without a permit.
RECORDS AND REPORTS
No records and reports were available during the inspection. Records and reports
reviewed in the office include monthly self -monitoring reports, chain -of -custody forms, and
laboratory forms. No self -monitoring reports have been submitted since the one for March 2000.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE
All processes/units of the treatment plant were inspected, with the exception of the
chlorine contact chamber, which is located in a locked fenced area. The plant appeared to be
marginally maintained. The wall around the filter bed was cracked. Numerous distribution lines
were unlevel and broken in the filter bed allowing inadequate distribution and treatment of the
wastewater. No tablets were observed in the dechlorinator. These deficiencies have been noted
numerous times in past inspection reports. The vegetation growing on the filter bed, and brush
and trees growing around the filter bed (mentioned in previous reports) are no longer present due
to the adjoining property owner's efforts to mow and keep the vegetation out of the filter bed.
According to the NPDES permit, Part II, Section C, 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 the permit.
The facility is owned and operated by a Grade II operator (the Operator -in -Responsible
Charge). No back-up ORC has been officially designated nor has an ORC change form been
submitted for the facility since 1996. The ORC was not available during the inspection.

Poplar Trails WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO061786
FLOW MEASUREMENT
It is unknown what method is used to measure effluent flow.
LABORATORY
The contract laboratory for the subject facility is Water Tech Labs in Granite Falls, North
Carolina. The laboratory was not evaluated during this inspection.
EFFLUENT/RECEf"NG WATERS
The effluent appeared clear with no visible solids or foam on the -day of inspection. The
receiving stream, an unnamed tributary to Rocky River (a Class C water), which is part of the
Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin, was not evaluated.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM
Self -monitoring reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period June 1999 through March
2000. Monthly monitoring reports have not been submitted since March 2000. A civil penalty
has been assessed for the failure to submit self -monitoring reports. Monthly monitoring reports
are not completed correctly, as follows:
The back of the Effluent form had not been submitted with the July, October and
November 1999, and January, February, and March 2000 DMRs. The compliant box was
checked when the facility was actually in non-compliance. Total Residual Chlorine
values were reported as zero; the values should have been reported as "less than" the
lowest detection level.
Monitoring violations are as follows:
BOD, TSR, Ammonia Nitrogen, and Fecal Coliform results were not reported in July.
Upstream and downstream sampling was not done weekly in March 2000.
Limit violations reported during the review period are as follows:
DO below limit on January 12, 27, & 31, February 9, 17, 23, & 29, and March 10, 12, 23,
& 30, 2000
TRC daily maximum limit exceeded on July 27,1999
Ammonia Nitrogen monthly average limit exceeded in December, 1999

NPDES Permit No. NCO061786
SLUDGE DISPOSAL
It is not known if sludge is being removed from the subject facility or by whom.
SEWER OVERFLOW
Please be advised that pursuant to Part II, Section E of your NPDES permit, and North
Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system,
pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion
of the wastewater shall be reported to the central office or the appropriate regional office
(Mooresville Regional Office 704-663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from
the time the permittee became aware of the -bypass. A written report shall also be provided within
five (5) days of the time of the incident. The written report shall contain a description of the
bypass, and its cause; the period of the bypass, including exact dates and times, and if the bypass
has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken (or
planned) to reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence of similar events.
Any spill that reaches surface waters (i.e. any spill that reaches any water already present
in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill greater than 1,000 gallons on the ground that
does not reach surface waters must be reported.
An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an
evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a fish
kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen
and pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH measurements
at multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact. Failure to
report the bypass of a collection system, pumping station or treatment facility subjects violators
to penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation.

I have attached a summary that I put together on the Division of Water Quality's files
regarding the Poplar Trails Wastewater Treatment Plant. Since I originally put the summary
together for my use, I used several abbreviations. If you have any questions, please let me
know. MRO stands for the Mooresville Regional Office of the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. All of the files that I summarized are public record. You can view the Division of
Water Quality's file in Mooresville or in Raleigh. Please distribute this to your interested

Dear Trustees:
The enclosed grant application has been prepared by the City of Concord in cooperation with the N.C.
Utilities Commission and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The
following items have been enclosed for your review: a four -page application form, a six -page narrative
proposal, a one -page line item budget, a USGS topographic map, a map delineating the proposed project
area, a two -page description of the election and duties of the City of Concord's governing board, and a
denial letter from the trustees of the N.C. Clean Water Revolving Loan and Grant Fund.
Since the petitioning organization, the City of Concord, is a governmental unit, a federal tax-exempt
certification has not been included. In accordance with Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative
Code, Subchapter 1C, Section .0504(3)(a)(vi), the construction of sewer extensions with either less than
three miles of new lines or a design flow less than 1,000,000 gallons per day is considered a minor
construction activity. Non -major activities do not require documentation under the N.C. Environmental
Policy Act. Therefore, neither an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement has
been prepared for this project.
On April 27, 2000, the N.C. Utilities Commission requested the City of Concord's assistance with the
project described in this application. The impending abandonment of the subject failing wastewater
treatment system has created the need for an expedited decision regarding funding for the resolution of this
situation. Trustees of the N.C. Clean Water Revolving Loan and Grant Fund were contacted by the City
on May 10, 2000 regarding the availability of grant money for this project. In a letter dated May 23, 2000,
Mr. John R. Blowe informed the City that grant money was currently unavailable. Both letters are
enclosed.
If funds are provided for this project, the City will need to obtain a sewer extension permit from the N.C.
Division of Water Quality, an erosion and sedimentation control permit from the N.C. Division of Land
Resources, a 401 water quality certification, and a federal 404 permit.
Your cooperation and timely response to this grant request is greatly appreciated by the City of Concord,
the N.C. Utilities Commission, the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and the
affected citizens of the Poplar Trails Subdivision. If you have any questions concerning this application,
please contact Mr. T. Mark Fowler, Regional Wastewater Resources Director for the City of Concord.
Sincerely,

•• Most of this application will be evaluated according to CWMIF quantitative criteria, and will yield a "score" from 0-165
points, however, Trustees will also consider non -quantitative criteria that are identified in CWMTF published guidelines.
Answers should be direct, thorough and concise. Please limit responses to space available on the form.
Project: (Up to 135 points**
045 points: (1) To what extent will the proposed project either (a) restore degraded waters, or (b) protect
relatively unpolluted waters.
The proposed project will eliminate nearly 5,600 gallons per day of poorly treated domestic wastewater from
entering a zero -flow stream in Subbasin 03-07-11. Since the treatment system began operations in September
1986, violations of effluent limits have been reported in 28 months. If the proposed project is funded, effluent
from the failing waste treatment system in the Poplar Trails Subdivision will be conveyed through a wastewater
collection system to the Rocky River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. This treatment plant will be able to
treat the domestic wastewater to a higher degree and release effluent at a point in the subbasin where the effect of
the residual parameters will be minimized due to the volume of ambient water flow.
0-25 points: Describe any special significance of waters (in terms of NC-DWQ water quality classification, e.g.
High Quality or Impaired) to be enhanced, restored or protected by the project. Note also any special recreational,
educational or economic values of specific waters:
Surface waters downstream of the zero -flow stream where the subject system discharges are classisfied as C.
However, effluent from the failing wastewater treatment system is tributary to an area of the subbasin where
waters have been identified as "not supporting" or "support threatened."
0-20 points: What does the NC -Division of Water Quality Basinwide Management Plan say about the specific
waters, which will be restored or protected by your project? (Make page specific references to the plan, and
explain how your project will solve documented problems and ensure protection or restoration).
Table 2, entitled "Partially Supporting or Not Supporting Monitored Waters in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin",
in the Basin Plan Executive Summary identifies the upper Rocky River portion of Subbasin 030711 as "not
supporting," with a portion rated "support threatened." It also states, "The City of Charlotte and Cabarrus and
Mecklenburg Counties should investigate pollution sources and develop mitigation plans to protect the river from
further degradation." The specific unnamed tributary affected by this project is classified as a C water according
to page 4-54 of the Basinwide Plan. Section 4.3.11 states that ambient water quality data are only being collected
from one location in this subbasin; therefore, the exact condition of the specific surface water immediately
downstream is unknown.
0-20 points: What will be the measurable and enduring outcomes of the project?
According to the laboratory results of a sample collected by DWQ's Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) on July
29, 1999, the biochemical oxygen dernand (BOD) of the system's effluent was 1120% greater than its permitted
limit, the dissolved oxygen (D.O.) was 1875% less the acceptable level of oxygen for aquatic life, fecal coliform
levels were 5000% higher than the system's permitted limit, and the total residual chlorine was 7650% higher than
the permitted limit. No BOD, residual chlorine, or fecal coliform will enter the zero -flow stream from the
domestic wastewater of the Poplar Trails Subdivision as a result of this project. The aforementioned wastewater
will be conveyed to a regional wastewater treatment facility. Long-term management of the proposed project will
be provided by the City of Concord, which is more than adequately equipped to provide adequate staff and
equipment to support the operation and maintenance of the proposed sewer extension.
0-5 points: Does the project employ innovative procedures or technology? If so, what are the implications for
water quality?
This project is innovative due to the cooperation of the N.C. Utilities Commission, N.C. Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, and the City of Concord to resolve a water quality problem that is not the
immediate responsibility of any of the entities. The positive outcome of a project such as this may set a precedent
for future cooperative efforts that would help support the elimination of uncontrolled or non -compliant discharges
to the surface waters of the State.
CITY OF CONCORD Page 3 of 4 APPLICATION FORM

0-20 points: Does the project establish functional riparian buffers or greenways? If so, provide details of buffer
design and estimates of pollution reduction.
If funding is provided, riparian buffers and/or greenways could be established as part of this project. The most
important aspect of this project however is the elimination of the discharge to the zero -flow stream. Since the
proposed sewer extension will parallel the path of the surface waters tributary to Rocky River, the maintenance of
the sewer rights -of way will serve as a grassed/undeveloped riparian buffer. The proposed sewer design maintains
a 10-foot buffer from the stream's top of bank, as required by the North Carolina Administrative Code, and the
City of Concord requires a 30-foot right-of-way for maintenance of the sewer line. Since the City does not allow
the construction of structures on sewer rights -of --way, the rights -of --way for this project will serve as
grassed/undeveloped riparian buffers.
Applicant: (Up to 30 points*"
0-20 points: Descrit a other resources committed towards this project:
No other financial resources are committed to this project. If grant money is not received to fund this project, the
affected residents of the Poplar Trails Subdivision may have to share the burden of the cost of this project, which
would equate to more than $17,000 per residence. It is unknown whether or not the County of Cabarrus is willing
or able to make a financial contribution to this project. If this project is not funded, the County could be forced to
condemn the homeowners' property due to public health risks.
0-10 points: Briefly describe organization's qualifications to accomplish the proposed project:
The City of Concord has agreed to provide the necessary operation and maintenance needs for the proposed sewer
extension. The City's Wastewater Resources Department employs twenty-nine frill -time employees and owns
two jet -vac trucks; a rapid -response, straight jet truck with a camera unit; and a television camera inspection/grout
truck. Long-term management of the proposed project will be provided by the City of Concord, which is more
than adequately equipped to provide adequate staff and equipment to support the operation and maintenance of the
proposed sewer extension.
Is there a long-term management plan to which this proposed project is strategically related? (Explain)
This project fulfills the purpose of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting
program by eliminating a discharging system and reducing the pollutant load to the basin through more effective
treatment at a regional wastewater treatment facility. In addition, this project fulfills the charge to Cabarrus
County in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin Executive Summary by "[investigating] pollution sources and
[developing] mitigation plans to protect the river from further degradation.'
Is there a local land use plan for the county or municipality in which the project will occur? What assurance can
you provide regarding long term management of the project?
The City of Concord and County of Cabarrus created a joint land use plan in late 1992 called the "Western Area
Plan" The area in the vicinity of the proposed project has been identified as "Medium Density Residential"
which is described as one to four units per acre. The Clean Water Act of 1999 ratified by the North Carolina
Gene" Assembly in July 1999 mandated the issuance of operation and maintenance permits for wastewater
collection systems. The City of Concord will comply with the requirements of its wastewater collection system
permit_ Adherence to these permit requirements w111 ensure the long-term management of this project.
Is this project eligible for funding under other state or federal grant programs? If so, elaborate.
Prior to the submission of this application, the City of Concord has only sought funding from the N.C. Clean
Water Revolving Loan and Grant Fund At this time there is no grant money available from this program.
Is the property wherein the project will be located subject to any environmental laws, rules or regulations (existing
or pending) which impose obligations or restrict the use or marketability of the property? (If yes, please explain)
To the applicant's knowledge, no obligations or restricted uses exist or are impending at the proposed project site.
The marketability of the homes and property that are connected to the failing waste treatment system is affected
by this project.

NARRATIVE PROPOSAL
Proposal for the Elimination of a Failing Waste Treatment System and the Installation of Gravity
Sewer to Serve the Poplar Traits Subdivision near the City of Concord
Project Description. The City of Concord is requesting $357,723 for the design, rights -of -way, materials,
and installation of a gravity sewer extension and the elimination of a failing waste treatment system that is
currently serving fourteen homes in the Poplar Trails Subdivision. This subdivision is located
approximately 0.5 miles west of the municipal limits of the City of Concord. The existing treatment system
was designed to treat 5,600 gallons per day of wastewater. Most homes in the subdivision have septic tanks
and drain fields; however, fourteen lots in the subdivision had soil that was deemed unsuitable for this type
of system. The failing treatment system that the City of Concord is proposing to eliminate was permitted by
the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources' (DENR's) Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
on July 1, 1985 (Permit No. NC0061786) to serve the homes on those fourteen lots. According to DWQ
records, this system has not been able to adequately treat the tributary domestic wastewater.
According to the approved design drawings and observations, the treatment system consists of a
6,000-gallon baffled septic tank; a 365-square-foot dosing tank with a siphon to an influent distribution box,
Figure 1: Disconnected Power Lines on the Filter

mp,-an in -line chlorine disinfection
unit, and an in -line de -chlorinator. Effluent
discharges to a ++wstream. Since that time,
regulations have been developed to prohibit new or
expanding discharges of oxygen -consuming wastes
to zero -flow streams. The system's permit expired September 30, 1999. The power serving the waste
treatment system was disconnected sevwwl wge (Figure 1) due to unpaid bills lending the recirculation

pump inoperable. Therefore, wastewater is no longer recirculated through the filter thereby reducing the
degree of treatment by the system.
Filter distribution lines have buckled and
breached the surface of the filter in several areas.
The buckling of the distribution lines (Figure 2)
makes it impossible to achieve an even distribution
of wastewater through the filter. Wastewater
concentrates in the lowest portions of the
distribution lines. Uneven distribution does not
allow the entire filter area to be utilized and further
impairs treatment. In addition, the filter is located
in a residential area without any type of tlMit ,_
a "'Since distribution pipe perforations are
exposed, the filter itself poses potential public
health and safety concerns. DWQ staff noted
exposed distribution laterals in a February 19, 1992
Compliance Inspection Report. The permittee
stated that it was caused by children playing on the
Figure 2: Buckled Distribution Pipe
Figure 3: Exposed Pipe Perforations
filter bed. The inspector recommended the erection of a fence around the perimeter of the filter and the
permittee indicated that he would erect a fence as soon as possible.
The in -line disinfection unit does not appear to be utilized in accordance with its design (Figure 4),
however tablets are being added to the de -chlorinator immediately prior to the discharge point (Figure 5).
Effluent from the filter is being discharged via gravity to a zero -flow stream (dry ditch) that is tributary to
an unnamed tributary to the west branch of the Rocky River.
CITY OF CONCORD Page 2 of 6 NARRATIVE PROPOSAL

Water Quality Objectives. The North Carolina Utilities Commission's Public Staff contacted the City of
Concord regarding this situation and requested the installation of the sewer system extension to relieve the
water quality problems associated with this failing system.
The primary objective of this project is for the City of Concord to coordinate efforts with the N.C.
Utilities Commission and DENR to improve and protect the water quality of the surface waters downstream
of this failing treatment system's discharge point (Figure 5).
Figure 4: In -Line Disinfection Unit
Figure 5: Discharge to Zero -Flow Stream
This restoration of degraded waters could be achieved by the elimination of effluent from the failing
waste treatment system. The proposed sewer extension would connect the influent point of the failing
treatment system to an outfall sewer line that is under construction by the Water and Sewer Authority of
Cabarrus County. The wastewater would ultimately be treated at the Rocky River Regional Wastewater
Treatment Plant, which is a regional facility that serves the Cities of Concord and Kannapolis, Charlotte -
Mecklenburg Utilities, and the Towns of Harrisburg and Mount Pleasant. The N.C. Division of Water
Quality encourages regionalization.
Required Funds. The properties to be served by the proposed system are located within the service area of
the City of Concord. However, the City has no current or future capital improvement project planned to
provide sanitary sewer service to this subdivision. Funding requirements have been calculated to achieve
the most basic of needs for the proposed project. The most important aspect of this project is the
elimination of the discharge to the zero -flow stream. If $240,723 is provided for the design, rights -of -way,
CITY OF CONCORD Page 3 of 6 NARRATIVE PROPOSAL

installation of the infrastructure needed to remedy this water quality problem, the City will provide the
necessary long-term operation and maintenance of the wastewater collection system extension. If
additional funding is allocated for this project, the deficient system and its appurtenances could be removed
and the sewer system's rights -of -way could be purchased and utilized as a greenway and/or
grassed/undeveloped riparian buffer. This additional cost is estimated as $117,000.
Other Possible Funding Sources. If grant money is not received to fund this project, the affected residents
of the Poplar Trails Subdivision may have to share the burden of this cost, which would equate to more than
$17,000 per residence. It is unknown whether or not the County of Cabarrus is willing or able to make a
financial contribution to this project. If this project is not funded, the County could be forced to condemn
the homeowners' property due to public health risks.
Project Need. One of the primary goals of DWQ's Basinw-ide Management Program is to identify and
restore full use to impaired waters. According to DWQ's on-line Foreword and Executive Summary for the
Yadkin -Pee Dee Basinwide Water Quality Management Plan (May 1998), half of the waters in the subject
basin have identified as threatened. Most lakes in the basin were found to be supporting their designated
uses but were deemed nutrient enriched (euthrophic or mesotrophic) more than five years ago. Elevated
fecal coliform bacteria levels were commonly found throughout the basin. Excess nutrients and fecal
coliform are symptomatic of waters contaminated with domestic wastewater. According to the laboratory
results of a sample collected by DWQ's Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) on July 29, 1999, the
biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of the system's effluent was 1120% greater than its permitted limit, the
dissolved oxygen (D.O.) was 1875% less than the acceptable level of oxygen for aquatic life, fecal coliform
levels were 5000% higher than the system's permitted limit, and the total residual chlorine was 7650%
higher than the permitted limit. The State Bureau of Investigation has investigated the previous owner for
falsification of daily monitoring reports (DMRs). Therefore, an accurate historical record of effluent values
for various parameters could not be determined.
The proposed project is located in Subbasin 030711. Table 2, entitled "Partially Supporting or Not
Supporting Monitored Waters in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin," in the Basin Plan Executive Summary
CITY OF CONCORD Page 4 of 6 NARRATIVE PROPOSAL

identifies the upper Rocky River portion of Subbasin 030711 as `soot supporting," with a portion rated
"support threatened." It also states, `The City of Charlotte and Cabarrus and Mecklenburg Counties should
investigate pollution sources and develop mitigation plans to protect the river from further degradation."
The specific unnamed tributary affected by this project is classified as a C water according to page 4-54 of
the Basinwide Plan. Section 4.3.11 does not identify the exact condition of the specific surface water
immediately downstream of the failing system.
The current owner/operator of the system was unaware of the long history of problems when he took
over the system less than a year ago. He has stated that he no longer wants to be the owner or operator and
is willing to give the system to anyone who will take it. A Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity
has never been applied for nor issued for the system by the N.C. utilities Commission. The current owner
has stated that he does not want to become a utility, nor does he want to take responsibility for managing
one. The system will likely be abandoned in the near future, which necessitates the need for an expedited
decision regarding funding for the proposed project.
Measurable and Enduring Outcomes. The proposed sewer extension would eliminate the discharge of
pollutants from the failing waste treatment system, allowing nature to restore the dry ditch and downstream
water from the effects of the poorly treated effluent and thus improve the aquatic habitat.
The City of Concord has agreed to provide the necessary operation and maintenance needs for the
proposed sewer extension. The City's Wastewater Resources Department employs twenty-nine full-time
employees and owns two jet -vac trucks; a rapid -response, straight jet truck with a camera unit; and a
television camera inspection/grout truck. All employees, with the exception of clerical staff, are required to
have a Grade 1 wastewater collection system operator certification within one year of employment_ Two
employees in the Wastewater Resources Department have a Grade 4 certification, the highest certification
issued by the State.
The City of Concord has actively sought continuous improvements to its wastewater collection
system. A sewer line rehabilitation program was begun in 1996. Since that time the City has replaced
approximately 16,850 linear feet of sewer line and relined approximately 12,630 linear feet. Root control
CITY OF CONCORD Page 5 of 6 NARRATIVE PROPOSAL

procedures have been performed on approximately 130,000 linear feet of sewer line and approximately 645
manholes have been rehabilitated. The Wastewater Resources Department televises an average of 8,665
linear feet of sewer mains per month and jets an average of 8,550 linear feet per month. All of the active
pump stations maintained by the City are connected to a telemetry system and are inspected a minimum of
twice per week.
The City of Concord has been awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada for ten
consecutive years. The certificate of achievement is a prestigious national award recognizing conformance
with the highest standards for preparation of state and local government financial reports. In addition, a
pronouncement was made on March 15, 2000, announcing that the City has received a State Treasurer's
Governmental Accounting/Financial Management Award. This award recognizes those who develop novel
approaches to monetary management and strive to better their operations. The City also won this award in
1984. The City of Concord has contracted annual independent audits in accordance with N.C. General
Statute 159.34 and submitted these reports in a timely manner to the Department of State Treasurer, Local
Government Commission. The City has always received an unqualified opinion that the report fairly states
the financial position of the City. Also, the City has never defaulted on any debt obligation.
Long-term management of the proposed project will be provided by the City of Concord, which is
more than adequately equipped to provide adequate staff and equipment to support the operation and
maintenance of the proposed sewer extension. Your thoughtful consideration regarding the funding of this
project and its water quality implications is greatly appreciated.

Dear Mr. Blowe:
The North Carolina Utilities Commission has requested the City of Concord's assistance
with a water quality problem created by a non -compliant wastewater treatment facility
just outside of the Concord City limits. The treatment facility serves 14 homes in the
Poplar Trails subdivision in Cabarrus County. The closest portion of the City's
wastewater collection system to the affected homes is approximately one half mile away.
The City of Concord respectfully requests information regarding the availability of grant
money for the extension of the City's wastewater collection system to serve the 14
homes. The properties to be served are not located within the City limits of Concord.
Therefore, the City is not obligated to fund this project. If, however, funds are provided
for the design, rights -of -way, materials, and installation of the infrastructure needed to
remedy this water quality problem, the City will provide the necessary operation and
maintenance of the wastewater collection system extension.
Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions,
please contact me at [phone], extension 346.
Sincerely,
CITY OF CONCORD

Subject: Renewal of NPDES Perm7MC1786
Poplar Trails Subdivision
Cabarrus County
The subject permit expires on September 30, 1999. North Carolina General Stature 143.215.1(c) requires that an
application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than April 3,
1999. Failure to request renewal by April 3, 1999 will result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after September 30, 1999 (or if continuation of the permit is desired), the
permit must not be allowed to expire. Operation of waste treatment works or continuation of a discharge after
September 30, 1999 would violate NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000
per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at the subject facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Robert
Farmer of the Division's Compliance Enforcement unit at [phone], extension 531. You may also contact the
Mooresville Regional Office at [phone] to begin the rescission process.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items which you must
submit when applying for renewal of the subject permit.
If you have any questions, please contact me. My telephone number, fax number and e-mail address are listed below.

Dear Trustees:
The enclosed grant application has been prepared by the City of Concord in cooperation with the N.C.
Utilities Commission and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The
following items have been enclosed for your review: a four -page application form, a six -page narrative
proposal, a one -page line item budget, a USGS topographic map, a map delineating the proposed project
area, a two -page description of the election and duties of the City of Concord's governing board, and a
denial letter from the trustees of the N.C. Clean Water Revolving Loan and Grant Fund.
Since the petitioning organization, the City of Concord, is a governmental unit, a federal tax-exempt
certification has not been included. In accordance with Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative
Code, Subchapter 1C, Section .0504(3)(a)(vi), the construction of sewer extensions with either less than
three miles of new lines or a design flow less than 1,000,000 gallons per day is considered a minor
construction activity. Non -major activities do not require documentation under the N.C. Environmental
Policy Act. Therefore, neither an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement has
been prepared for this project.
On April 27, 2000, the N.C. Utilities Commission requested the City of Concord's assistance with the
project described in this application. The impending abandonment of the subject failing wastewater
treatment system has created the need for an expedited decision regarding funding for the resolution of this
situation. Trustees of the N.C. Clean Water Revolving Loan and Grant Fund were contacted by the City
on May 10, 2000 regarding the availability of grant money for this project. In a letter dated May 23, 2000,
Mr. John R. Blowe informed the City that grant money was currently unavailable. Both letters are
enclosed.
If funds are provided for this project, the City will need to obtain a sewer extension permit from the N.C.
Division of Water Quality, an erosion and sedimentation control permit from the N.C. Division of Land
Resources, a 401 water quality certification, and a federal 404 permit.
Your cooperation and timely response to this grant request is greatly appreciated by the City of Concord,
the N.C. Utilities Commission, the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and the
affected citizens of the Poplar Trails Subdivision. If you have any questions concerning this application,
please contact Mr. T. Mark Fowler, Regional Wastewater Resources Director for the City of Concord.

CITY OF CONCORD Page 2 of 4 APPLICATION FORM

**Most of this application will be evaluated according to CWMI'F quantitative criteria, and will yield a "score" from 0-165
points, however, Trustees will also consider non -quantitative criteria that are identified in CWNM published guidelines.
Answers should be direct, thorough and concise. Please limit responses to space available on the form.
Project: (Up to 135 points*")
045 points: (1) To what extent will the proposed project either (a) restore degraded waters, or (b) protect
relatively unpolluted waters.
The proposed project will eliminate nearly 5,600 gallons per day of poorly treated domestic wastewater from
entering a zero -flow stream in Subbasin 03-07-11. Since the treatment system began operations in September
1986, violations of effluent limits have been reported in 28 months. If the proposed project is funded, effluent
from the failing waste treatment system in the Poplar Trails Subdivision will be conveyed through a wastewater
collection system to the Rocky River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. This treatment plant will be able to
treat the domestic wastewater to a higher degree and release effluent at a point in the subbasin where the effect of
the residual parameters will be minimized due to the volume of ambient water flow.
0-25 points: Describe any special significance of waters (in terms of NC-DWQ water quality classification, e.g.
High Quality or Impaired) to be enhanced, restored or protected by the project. Note also any special recreational,
educational or economic values of specific waters:
Surface waters downstream of the zero -flow stream where the subject system discharges are classisfied as C.
However, effluent from the failing wastewater treatment system is tributary to an area of the subbasin where
waters have been identified as "not supporting" or "support threatened."
0-20 points: What does the NC -Division of Water Quality Basinwide Management Plan say about the specific
waters, which will be restored or protected by your project? (Make page specific references to the plan, and
explain how your project will solve documented problems and ensure protection or restoration).
Table 2, entitled "Partially Supporting or Not Supporting Monitored Waters in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin",
in the Basin Plan Executive Summary identifies the upper Rocky River portion of Subbasin 030711 as "not
supporting," with a portion rated "support threatened." It also states, "The City of Charlotte and Cabanus and
Mecklenburg Counties should investigate pollution sources and develop mitigation plans to protect the river from
further degradation." The specific unnamed tributary affected by this project is classified as a C water according
to page 4-54 of the Basinwide Plan. Section 4.3.11 states that ambient water quality data are only being collected
from one location in this subbasin; therefore, the exact condition of the specific surface water immediately
downstream is unknown.
0-20 points: What will be the measurable and enduring outcomes of the project?
According to the laboratory results of a sample collected by DWQ's Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) on July
29, 1999, the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of the system's effluent was 1120% greater than its permitted
limit, the dissolved oxygen (D.O.) was 1875% less the acceptable level of oxygen for aquatic life, fecal coliform
levels were 5000% higher than the system's permitted limit, and the total residual chlorine was 76501/6 higher than
the permitted limit. No BOD, residual chlorine, or fecal coliform will enter the zero -flow stream from the
domestic wastewater of the Poplar Trails Subdivision as a result of this project. The aforementioned wastewater
will be conveyed to a regional wastewater treatment facility. Long-term management of the proposed project will
be provided by the City of Concord, which is more than adequately equipped to provide adequate staff and
equipment to support the operation and maintenance of the proposed sewer extension.
0-5 points: Does the project employ innovative procedures or technology? If so, what are the implications for
water quality?
This project is innovative due to the cooperation of the N.C. Utilities Commission, N.C. Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, and the City of Concord to resolve a water quality problem that is not the
immediate responsibility of any of the entities. The positive outcome of a project such as this may set a precedent
for future cooperative efforts that would help support the elimination of uncontrolled or non -compliant discharges
to the surface waters of the State.
CITY OF CONCORD Page 3 of 4 APPLICATION FORM

0-20 points: Does the project establish functional riparian buffers or greenways? If so, provide details of buffer
design and estimates of pollution reduction.
If funding is provided, riparian buffers and/or greenways could be established as part of this project. The most
important aspect of this project however is the elimination of the discharge to the zero -flow stream. Since the
proposed sewer extension will parallel the path of the surface waters tributary to Rocky River, the maintenance of
the sewer rights -of way will serve as a grassedAmdeveloped riparian buffer. The proposed sewer design maintains
a 10-foot buffer from the stream's top of bank, as required by the North Carolina Administrative Code, and the
City of Concord requires a 30-foot right-of-way for maintenance of the sewer line. Since the City does not allow
the construction of structures on sewer rights -of -way, the rights -of -way for this project will serve as
grassed/undeveloped riparian buffers.
Applicant: (Up to 30 points")
0-20 points: Describe other resources committed towards this project:
No other financial resources are committed to this project. If grant money is not received to fund this project, the
affected residents of the Poplar Trails Subdivision may have to share the burden of the cost of this project, which
would equate to more than $17,000 per residence. It is unknown whether or not the County of Cabamrs is willing
or able to make a financial contribution to this project. If this project is not funded, the County could be forced to
condemn the homeowners' property due to public health risks.
0-10 points: Briefly describe organization's qualifications to accomplish the proposed project:
The City of Concord has agreed to provide the necessary operation and maintenance needs for the proposed sewer
extension. The City's Wastewater Resources Department employs twenty-nine full-time employees and owns
two jet -vac trucks; a rapid -response, straight jet truck with a camera unit; and a television camera inspection/grout
truck. Long-term management of the proposed project will be provided by the City of Concord, which is more
than adequately equipped to provide adequate staff and equipment to support the operation and maintenance of the
proposed sewer extension.
Is there a long-term management plan to which this proposed project is strategically related? (Explain)
This project fulfills the purpose of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting
program by eliminating a discharging system and reducing the pollutant load to the basin through more effective
treatment at a regional wastewater treatment facility. In addition, this project fulfills the charge to Cabarnis
County in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin Executive Summary by "[investigating] pollution sources and
[developing] mitigation plans to protect the river from further degradation.'
Is there a local land use plan for the county or municipality in which the project will occur? What assurance can
you provide regarding long term management of the project?
The City of Concord and County of Cabarrus created a joint land use plan in late 1992 called the "Western Area
Plan." The area in the vicinity of the proposed project has been identified as "Medium Density Residential"
which is described as one to four units per acre. The Clean Water Act of 1999 ratified by the North Carolina
General Assembly in July 1999 mandated the issuance of operation and maintenance permits for wastewater
collection systems. The City of Concord will comply with the requirements of its wastewater collection system
permit. Adherence to these permit requirements will ensure the long-term management of this project.
Is this project eligible for funding under other state or federal grant programs? If so, elaborate.
Prior to the submission of this application, the City of Concord has only sought funding from the N.C. Clean
Water Revolving Loan and Grant Fund. At this time there is no grant money available from this program.
Is the property wherein the project will be located subject to any environmental laws, rules or regulations (existing
or pending) which impose obligations or restrict the use or marketability of the property? (If yes, please explain)
To the applicant's knowledge, no obligations or restricted uses exist or are impending at the proposed project site.
The marketability of the homes and property that are connected to the failing waste treatment system is affected
by this project.

Il�f�rljjeejlj, NARRATIVE PROPOSAL
Proposal for the Elimination of a Failing Waste Treatment System and the Installation of Gravity
Sewer to Serve the Poplar Trails Subdivision near the City of Concord
Project Description. The City of Concord is requesting $357,723 for the design, rights -of -way, materials,
and installation of a gravity sewer extension and the elimination of a failing waste treatment system that is
currently serving fourteen homes in the Poplar Trails Subdivision. This subdivision is located
approximately 0.5 miles west of the municipal limits of the City of Concord. The existing treatment system
was designed to treat 5,600 gallons per day of wastewater. Most homes in the subdivision have septic tanks
and drain fields; however, fourteen lots in the subdivision had soil that was deemed unsuitable for this type
of system. The failing treatment system that the City of Concord is proposing to eliminate was permitted by
the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources' (DENR's) Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
on July 1, 1985 (Permit No. NCO061786) to serve the homes on those fourteen lots. According to DWQ
records, this system has not been able to adequately treat the tributary domestic wastewater.
According to the approved design drawings and observations, the treatment system consists of a
6,000-gallon baffled septic tank; a 365-square-foot dosing tank with a siphon to an influent distribution box,
Figure 1: Disconnected Power Lines on the Filter
a 4,700-square-foot recirculating, surface sand
filter, an effluent distribution box, a 4-foot-
diameter recirculation wet well with a ''/z-
horsepower pump, an in -line chlorine disinfection
unit, and an in -line de -chlorinator. Effluent
discharges to a zero flow stream. Since that time,
regulations have been developed to prohibit new or
expanding discharges of oxygen -consuming wastes
to zero -flow streams. The system's permit expired September 30, 1999. The power serving the waste
treatment system was disconnected several years ago (Figure 1) due to unpaid bills lending the recirculation

pump inoperable. Therefore, wastewater is no longer recirculated through the filter thereby reducing the
degree of treatment by the system.
Filter distribution lines have buckled and
breached the surface of the filter in several areas.
The buckling of the distribution lines (Figure 2)
makes it impossible to achieve an even distribution
of wastewater through the filter. Wastewater
concentrates in the lowest portions of the
distribution lines. Uneven distribution does not
allow the entire filter area to be utilized and further
impairs treatment. In addition, the filter is located
in a residential area without any type of restricted
access. Since distribution pipe perforations are
exposed, the filter itself poses potential public
health and safety concerns. DWQ staff noted
exposed distribution laterals in a February 19, 1992
Compliance Inspection Report. The permittee
stated that it was caused by children playing on the
Figure 2: Buckled Distribution Pipe
Figure 3: Exposed Pipe Perforations
filter bed. The inspector recommended the erection of a fence around the perimeter of the filter and the
permittee indicated that he would erect a fence as soon as possible.
The in -line disinfection unit does not appear to be utilized in accordance with its design (Figure 4),
however tablets are being added to the de -chlorinator immediately prior to the discharge point (Figure 5).
Effluent from the filter is being discharged via gravity to a zero -flow stream (dry ditch) that is tributary to
an unnamed tributary to the west branch of the Rocky River.
CITY OF CONCORD Page 2 of 6 NARRATIVE PROPOSAL

Water Quality Objectives. The North Carolina Utilities Commission's Public Staff contacted the City of
Concord regarding this situation and requested the installation of the sewer system extension to relieve the
water quality problems associated with this failing system.
The primary objective of this project is for the City of Concord to coordinate efforts with the N.C.
Utilities Commission and DENR to improve and protect the water quality of the surface waters downstream
of this failing treatment system's discharge point (Figure 5).
Figure 4: In -Line Disinfection Unit
Figure 5: Discharge to Zero -Flow Stream
This restoration of degraded waters could be achieved by the elimination of effluent from the failing
waste treatment system. The proposed sewer extension would connect the influent point of the failing
treatment system to an outfall sewer line that is under construction by the Water and Sewer Authority of
Cabarrus County. The wastewater would ultimately be treated at the Rocky River Regional Wastewater
Treatment Plant, which is a regional facility that serves the Cities of Concord and Kannapolis, Charlotte -
Mecklenburg Utilities, and the Towns of Harrisburg and Mount Pleasant. The N.C. Division of Water
Quality encourages regionalization.
Required Funds. The properties to be served by the proposed system are located within the service area of
the City of Concord. However, the City has no current or future capital improvement project planned to
provide sanitary sewer service to this subdivision. Funding requirements have been calculated to achieve
the most basic of needs for the proposed project. The most important aspect of this project is the
elimination of the discharge to the zero -flow stream. If $240,723 is provided for the design, rights -of -way,
CITY OF CONCORD Page 3 of 6 NARRATIVE PROPOSAL

installation of the infrastructure needed to remedy this water quality problem, the City will provide the
necessary long-term operation and maintenance of the wastewater collection system extension. If
additional finding is allocated for this project, the deficient system and its appurtenances could be removed
and the sewer system's rights -of -way could be purchased and utilized as a greenway and/or
grassed/undeveloped riparian buffer. This additional cost is estimated as $117,000.
Other Possible Funding Sources. If grant money is not received to fund this project, the affected residents
of the Poplar Trails Subdivision may have to share the burden of this cost, which would equate to more than
$17,000 per residence. It is unknown whether or not the County of Cabarrus is willing or able to make a
financial contribution to this project. If this project is not funded, the County could be forced to condemn
the homeowners' property due to public health risks.
Project Need. One of the primary goals of DWQ's Basinwide Management Program is to identify and
restore full use to impaired waters. According to DWQ's on-line Foreword and Executive Summary for the
Yadkin -Pee Dee Basinwide Water Quality Management Plan (May 1998), half of the waters in the subject
basin have identified as threatened. Most lakes in the basin were found to be supporting their designated
uses but were deemed nutrient enriched (euthrophic or mesotrophic) more than five years ago. Elevated
fecal coliform bacteria levels were commonly found throughout the basin. Excess nutrients and fecal
coliform are symptomatic of waters contaminated with domestic wastewater. According to the laboratory
results of a sample collected by DWQ's Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) on July 29, 1999, the
biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of the system's cf fluent was 1120% greater than its permitted limit, the
dissolved oxygen (D.O.) was 1875% less than the acceptable level of oxygen for aquatic life, fecal coliform
levels were 5000% higher than the system's permitted limit, and the total residual chlorine was 7650%
higher than the permitted limit. The State Bureau of Investigation has investigated the previous owner for
falsification of daily monitoring reports (DMRs). Therefore, an accurate historical record of effluent values
for various parameters could not be determined.
The proposed project is located in Subbasin 030711. Table 2, entitled "Partially Supporting or Not
Supporting Monitored Waters in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin," in the Basin Plan Executive Summary
CITY OF CONCORD Page 4 of 6 NARRATIVE PROPOSAL

identifies the upper Rocky River portion of Subbasin 030711 as "not supporting," with a portion rated
°`support threatened." It also states, "The City of Charlotte and Cabamis and Mecklenburg Counties should
investigate pollution sources and develop mitigation plans to protect the river from further degradation."
The specific unnamed tributary affected by this project is classified as a C water according to page 4-54 of
the Basinwide Plan. Section 4.3.11 does not identify the exact condition of the specific surface water
immediately downstream of the failing system.
The current owner/operator of the system was unaware of the long history of problems when he took
over the system less than a year ago. He has stated that he no longer wants to be the owner or operator and
is willing to give the system to anyone who will take it. A Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity
has never been applied for nor issued for the system by the N.C. Utilities Commission. The current owner
has stated that he does not want to become a utility, nor does he want to take responsibility for managing
one. The system will likely be abandoned in the near future, which necessitates the need for an expedited
decision regarding funding for the proposed project.
Measurable and Enduring Outcomes. The proposed sewer extension would eliminate the discharge of
pollutants from the failing waste treatment system, allowing nature to restore the dry ditch and downstream
water from the effects of the poorly treated effluent and thus improve the aquatic habitat.
The City of Concord has agreed to provide the necessary operation and maintenance needs for the
proposed sewer extension. The City's Wastewater Resources Department employs twenty-nine full-time
employees and owns two jet -vac trucks; a rapid -response, straight jet truck with a camera unit; and a
television camera inspection/grout truck. All employees, with the exception of clerical staff, are required to
have a Grade I wastewater collection system operator certification within one year of employment_ Two
employees in the Wastewater Resources Department have a Grade 4 certification, the highest certification
issued by the State.
The City of Concord has actively sought continuous improvements to its wastewater collection
system. A sewer line rehabilitation program was begun in 1996. Since that time the City has replaced
approximately 16,850 linear feet of sewer line and relined approximately 12,630 linear feet. Root control
CITY OF CONCORD Page 5 of 6 NARRATIVE PROPOSAL

procedures have been performed on approximately 130,000 linear feet of sewer line and approximately 645
manholes have been rehabilitated. The Wastewater Resources Department televises an average of 8,665
linear feet of sewer mains per month and jets an average of 8,550 linear feet per month. All of the active
pump stations maintained by the City are connected to a telemetry system and are inspected a minimum of
twice per week.
The City of Concord has been awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada for ten
consecutive years. The certificate of achievement is a prestigious national award recognizing conformance
with the highest standards for preparation of state and local government financial reports. In addition, a
pronouncement was made on March 15, 2000, announcing that the City has received a State Treasurer's
Governmental Accounting/Financial Management Award. This award recognizes those who develop novel
approaches to monetary management and strive to better their operations. The City also won this award in
1984. The City of Concord has contracted annual independent audits in accordance with N.C. General
Statute 159.34 and submitted these reports in a timely manner to the Department of State Treasurer, Local
Government Commission. The City has always received an unqualified opinion that the report fairly states
the financial position of the City. Also, the City has never defaulted on any debt obligation.
Long-term management of the proposed project will be provided by the City of Concord, which is
more than adequately equipped to provide adequate staff and equipment to support the operation and
maintenance of the proposed sewer extension. Your thoughtful consideration regarding the funding of this
project and its water quality implications is greatly appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,
CITY OF CONCORD

Dear Ms. Cardin:
Thank you for your application for State Grant Funding for improvements to the

Dear Mr. Blowe:
The North Carolina Utilities Commission has requested the City of Concord's assistance
with a water quality problem created by a non -compliant wastewater treatment facility
just outside of the Concord City limits. The treatment facility serves 14 homes in the
Poplar Trails subdivision in Cabarrus County. The closest portion of the City's
wastewater collection system to the affected homes is approximately one half mile away.
The City of Concord respectfully requests information regarding the availability of grant
money for the extension of the City's wastewater collection system to serve the 14
homes. The properties to be served are not located within the City limits of Concord.
Therefore, the City is not obligated to fund this project. If, however, funds are provided
for the design, rights -of -way, materials, and installation of the infrastructure needed to
remedy this water quality problem, the City will provide the necessary operation and
maintenance of the wastewater collection system extension.
Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions,
please contact me at [phone], extension 346.
Sincerely,
CITY OF CONCORD

Permit No. NCO061786
Poplar Trails Subdivision
Cabarrus County, NC
Dear Mr. Woolard:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NCO061786 was issued on
December 23, 1999 for the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State from
your facility. The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit
and the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the
Permit. If you have not already done so, it is suggested that you thoroughly read the
Permit. Of particular importance are Pages 4 and 5.
Pages 4 and 5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for
your discharge. Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The
section headed "Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or
operation), you must initiate the required monitoring. The monitoring results must be
entered on reporting forms furnished or approved by this Agency. If you have not
received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the forms,
please contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the
"Effluent" reporting form (DEM Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form.
It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed, and the original and one copy be
submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee
may be required for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our
Raleigh Office. It is imperative that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent
enforcement action or possible revocation of your permit.

Mr. Woolard
January 5, 2000
The remaining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and
special conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or
discharge(s). The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of
noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are
requirements for a certified wastewater treatment plant operator if you are operating
wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment
facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or discharged, expansion and/or
upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by this
Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the
Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina
General Statutes. A civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation (and/or criminal
penalties) may be assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that you are unable
to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit, you should contact this Office
immediately. A Special Order by Consent (SOC) may be necessary while pursuing action
to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period.
Permits are not automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this
Agency no later than 180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration
date of your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES
Permits are not automatically transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this
Permit, then you should request that the Division of Water Quality rescind the Permit or
request that the Division of Water Quality reissue the Permit to another party, if
necessary.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the
importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at
704/663-1699 in Mooresville of you have any questions or need clarification. We look
forward to providing any assistance.

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEM or "the Division"
Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, 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
6. Concentration Measurement
a . The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples
collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This
limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits' in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits' in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily
Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples
collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the
geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is
identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits' in Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of
dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a
calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is
considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily
average" in the text of Part I.
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

7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged
monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the
calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when
both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs
continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for
infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Tomes of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge
and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow
recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at
no greater than 1 /24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of
greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals
evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time
of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent
grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a
24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual
values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the
individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is
equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values.
For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one
(1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration
times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.

3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an .enforcement action that it would have been necessary
to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this
permit.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating
mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the
treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent
loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in
production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which -does not cause effluent limitations to be
exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These
bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall
submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an
evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against
a permittee for bypass, unless: '
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment
facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of
equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should
have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass
which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance;
and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.

Part II
Page 9 of 14
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the
reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent
caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment
facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such
technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part 11, B. 2. of this
permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has
the burden of proof.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of
wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such
as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable
waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations
governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued
by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and
modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The
permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of
Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit
is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing
Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices.
7. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation,
Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the
discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by
means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent.

Part II
Page 10 of 14
SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS
1. Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the
volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily
shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period
which the sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in this
permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other
wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without
notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority.
2. Reporting
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
reported on a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (DEM No. MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or
alternative forms approved by the Director, DEM, postmarked no later than the 30th day
following the completed reporting period.
The first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case
of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of discharge.
Duplicate signed copies of these, and all other reports required herein, shall be submitted to the
following address:
Division of Water Quality
Water Quality Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
Post Office Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
3. Flow Measurements
Appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific practices
shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of
monitored discharges. The devices shall be installed, calibrated and maintained to ensure that the
accuracy of the measurements are consistent with the accepted capability of that type of device.
Devices selected shall be capable of measuring flows with a maximum deviation of less than + 10%b
from the true discharge rates throughout the range of expected discharge volumes. Once -through
condenser cooling water flow which is monitored by pump logs, or pump hour meters as specified in
Part I of this permit and based on the manufacturer's pump curves shall not be subject to this
requirement.
4. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published
pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations
published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as
Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136; or in the case of sludge use or disposal, approved under 40
CFR 136, unless otherwise specified in 40 CFR 503, unless other test procedures have been specified
in this permit.
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce
minimum detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all
data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the
procedure. If no approved methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and

Part 11
Page 11 of 14
reporting levels below permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the
lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved method must be used.
5. Penalties for Tampering
The Clean Water Act provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders
inaccurate, any monitoring device or method required to be maintained under this permit shall,
upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 per violation, or by imprisonment for
not more than two years per violation, or by both. If a conviction of a person is for a violation
committed after a first conviction of such person under this paragraph, punishment is a fine of not
more than $20,000 per day of violation, or by imprisonment of not more than 4 years, or both.
6. Records Retention
Except for records of monitoring information required by this permit related to the permittee's
sewage sludge use and disposal activities, which shall be retained for a period of at least five
years (or longer as required by 40 CFR 503), the permittee shall retain records of all monitoring
information, including all calibration and maintenance records and all original strip chart
recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation, copies of all reports required by this permit,
for a period of at least 3 years from the date of the sample, measurement, report or application.
This period may be extended by request of the Director at any time.
7. Recording_ Results
For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of this permit, the permittee
shall record the following information:
a. The date, exact place, and time of sampling or measurements;
b. The individual(s) who performed the sampling or measurements;
c. The date(s) analyses were performed;
d. The individual(s) who performed the analyses;
e. The analytical techniques or methods used; and
f . The results of such analyses.
8. Inspection and Entry

contractor acting as a representative of the Director), upon the presentation of credentials and other
documents as may be required by law, to;
a. Enter upon the permittee's premises where a regulated facility or activity is located or
conducted, or where records must be kept under the conditions of this permit;
b. Have access to and copy, at reasonable times, any records that must be kept under the conditions
of this permit;
c. Inspect at reasonable times any facilities, equipment (including monitoring and control
equipment), practices, or operations regulated or required under this permit; and
d. Sample or monitor at reasonable times, for the purposes of assuring permit compliance or as
otherwise authorized by the Clean Water Act, any substances or parameters at any location.

Part II
Page 12 of 14
SECTION E. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. Change in Discharge
All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this permit.
The discharge of any pollutant identified in this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess
of that authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit.
2. Planned Changes
The permittee shall give notice to the Director as soon as possible of any planned physical
alterations or additions to the permitted facility. Notice is required only when:
a. The alteration or addition to a permitted facility may meet one of the criteria for determining
whether a facility is a new source in 40 CFR Part 122.29 (b); or
b. The alteration or addition could significantly change the nature or increase the quantity of
pollutants discharged. This notification applies to pollutants which are subject neither to
effluent limitations in the permit, nor to notification requirements under 40 CFR Part 122.42 (a)

:. The "monthly a\era£e discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled anl'or measured during a calendar month on Ahich dally discharges are sampled
and measured, di\ ided 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 A ere reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
Fe. -nit.
b. The ", ee1Jy a%erage 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 dischwies 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 Par, I of tree permit.
c. The "maximum dally discharge" is the total mass (eight) of a pollutant discharged during
a calendar day. If orJy one sample is tzRen during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This Iimitation is identified as "Daily
INTaximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or rne`ured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
rne_sured, di\ided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured dunng such
year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found
ea:h day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests \k-ere
reloned. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

a. 6.
The "average monthly concentration.- other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month
on which daily dischar es are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under'Othu Limits' in
Put I of the permit.
b. The "avenge weekly concentration,' other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the turn 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 syerate weekly count
for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar* %4 eek. This limitation is identified as -Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Pan I of the permit.
e. 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
F�1lutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
'Dail\ Tia.-,imum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The aronual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concenuations 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 Burin; 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 cue of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average' under "Other Limits" in
Fart I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the mirlmum allow -able amount
of dissol, ed ox) &en required to be a%•ailable 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 &verage concentration" for the discharge. It is
identified as "daily a,. erage" in the text of Pact L
f. The "qua:�erIv average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Pan I of the permit
g. A calendar qua-rter is defined as one of the follOwing distinct periods: January through
;`larch, Apnl through June, July through September, and October through December.

a. Flow. (NIGH: The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours averase 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 tool 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
sh_l1 be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow de%'ice.

Dear Mr. Hawes:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NCO061786 was
issued on February 7, 1991 for the discharge of wastewater to the
surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of
this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and
the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so,
it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of
particular importance are Pages 4-6.
Pages 4-6 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge(s). Your discharge(s) must not
exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your
discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the
reporting forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not
received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you
fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly
as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent"
reporting form (DEM Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing
the form. It is imperative that all applicable parts be
completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as
required.
The remaining Parts of the Permit set forth definitions,
general conditions and special conditions applicable to the
operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s).

Part II
Page 1 of 14
PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITION
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.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average"
in Part I of the permit.
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum
of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average
monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for
samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum
of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided
by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week
(arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is
equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that
calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric
mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is
identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Lit -nits" in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration
of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified
as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average
yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples
collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average"
under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable
amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge
averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a
calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the
discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.

Part II
Page 3 of 14
The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a
calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I
of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows
recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of
sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility
which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the
facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when
there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the
time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing
the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be
determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval
between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily
flow at the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional
to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be
no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall
be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a
detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be
collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in
number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in
no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6)
hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.

Part II
Page 4 of 14
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the
product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values.
The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms
of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of
zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective
flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that
reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant
to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water
Act.
The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance
constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is ground for enforcement action; for
permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit
renewal application.
a. The permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under
section 307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants within the time provided in
the regulations that establish these standards or prohibitions, even if the permit has not
yet been modified to incorporate the requirement.
b. Any person who violates a permit condition is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed
$25,000 per day for each violation. Any person who negligently violates any permit

It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
condition of this permit.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a
treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or
established or operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage
to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial
and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur
in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss
caused by delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations
to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient
operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of
this section.
c . Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;
including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass
as required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24-hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action
against a permittee for bypass, unless:
(a) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe
property damage;

Part II
Page 9 of 14
(b) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal
periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate
backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable
engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal
periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(c) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering
its adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the
three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
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. Affect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for
noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the
requirements of paragraph 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:
(a) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(b) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(c) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of
this permit.
(d) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of
this permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an
upset has the burden of proof.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The subject facility was inspected on July 20, 1990
(compliance evaluation). It was noted that several sections of
distribution lines in the recirculating sand filter were not
connected and one section of pipe was broken. However, it was
found on the day of the investigation for the subject permit
renewal that such deficiency had been corrected. Review of
monthly self -monitoring reports, from August, 1989 through July,
1990 indicated that the facility was not in compliance with
Permit Limits for BOD in September, October and November, 1989,
and January, February and April, 1990.
Due to the fact that the receiving stream has no natural
flow, it is recommended that the discharge be eliminated, or the
outfall be relocated directly to the unnamed tributary to Rocky
River. For the same reason, it is recommended that upstream
monitoring requirements in the new Permit to be issued, be
dropped. However, downstream monitoring should be required. It
is suggested that the downstream sampling location be on the east
side of the junction of the unnamed tributary and S. R. 1524
(Scalybark Trails, a segment of the road is in Beech Bluff
Subdivision) which intersects with S. R. 1394. The suggested
downstream sampling point is approximately 700 feet southwest of
the existing discharge and approximately 520 feet south of the
junction of S. R. 1394 and S. R. 1524; the latter intersects with
the unnamed tributary (see attached topo map).
The subject Permit was originally issued to Mr. Milt Earl
Hawes who passed away in 1989. It is recommended that a new
Permit be issued in the name of Wilfred Oscar Hawes, as requested
by the applicant. In the interim, the new Permittee should be
advised to seek alternatives for the removal or relocation of the
existing discharge prior to next permit renewal.

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.
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

4. Act- or "tile Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as
amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass LDa�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 sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples and/or measured during stick 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 "Daily Average" or "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 samples 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
1imi.tation is ident if ind as "Weekly Average" in Part. T of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight:) of a
pollutant discharged during a calendar clay. If only cite 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 tiie total mass of all
daily discharges sample 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 I[
Page 12 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration, other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges
samples 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 mFan of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value Is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected
during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" or
"Daily Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration, other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Satur-clay") on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such week (arithmetic nwan 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" cinder "Other
Limits' in Part I of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant
discharge during a calendar day. 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 discharge, sampled and/or
measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The
daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite
sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The
average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean
of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year.. This limitation
is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other. Limits" in Part I of the
permit.

Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours
average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean
of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement is a measure of flow taken at the time
of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the
total discharge.
Types of SamI,les
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously
collected proportionally t.o flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If a composite sample .is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between► influent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time
of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which
case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
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.
Calculation of Means
a. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation
of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of
the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of
individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of
the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For
purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).
C. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the
respective flows.

Part 11
Page 14 of 14
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight
of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour
period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of
the Clean Water Act.

penalty of up to $10,000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties)
may be assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that
you are unable to comply with the terms and conditions of the
Permit, you should contact this Office immediately. A Consent
Order may be necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a
five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed. Renewal
requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180 days
prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of
your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also
note that NPDES Permits are not transferable. If you, as the
Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that
the Permit be rescinded.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to
advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read the
Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville if
you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to
providing any assistance.
