Condition: The Permittee shall discharge no floating solids or foam visible in other than trace amounts.

VPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 1 of 18
PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples
shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative
of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual AyeEa e
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system,
which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period.
The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual
sample collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period
at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may
Version 1012912010

DES Permit Standard
Page 2 of
only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions
also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect
effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-
hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is
calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration
comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the
arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily SamplinZ
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in
the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal
operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit
parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWQ or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission
EPA
The United States Environmental Protection Agency
Facility Closure
Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow
this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values: For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered =1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA.
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.
Version 1012912010

Monthly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of
fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
Quarterly Average (concentration limit)
The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter.
Severe property damage
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 excludes economic loss caused by delays in production.
Toxic Pollutant:
Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA.
Upset
An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance
with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance
caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of
preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
Weekly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of
fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Section B. General Conditions
1. Duty to Comply

Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO036251
Blue Star Camps WWTP _
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Rosenberg:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject
permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permitiis
issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the:
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection . � :.
Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
This final permit includes the following major changes from the draft permit sent
to you on August 17, 2005:
➢ Your request to reduce temperature monitoring cannot be granted. North Carolina
Water Quality rules [15A NCAC 2B.0508] require Daily Temperature monitoring for all
facilities treating 100% domestic wastewater. Also, your facility's status as Class II
requires daily visits by the ORC.
➢ The draft permit cover letter contained a typographical error regarding the multiplier
used to calculate the Daily Maximum ammonia nitrogen [NH3 as N] limit. The correct
multiplier is 5, not 3. The effluent limits in the draft were correct and remain
unchanged.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit
are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request
within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a
written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed
with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina
27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which
is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Dav
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24.hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1 /24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart
during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.
Version 612012003

NPDES Permit Requirements
Page 2 of 16
In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems
having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at
intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of they
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Dai1,ySampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWO or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
Facility Closure
The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage
under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]'D shall be considered =1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.

Subject: Receipt of permit renewal application
NPDES Permit NCO036251
Blue Star Camps WWTP
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Rosenberg:
The NPDES Unit acknowledges receipt of the permit renewal application for the above facility on March
15, 2010; however, on initial review it was noted that the required Sludge Management Plan was not included in the
paperwork submitted. Please submit to this unit a narrative description of your Sludge Management Plan. Describe
how sludge (or other solids) generated during wastewater treatment are handled and disposed. If your facility has
no such plan (or the permitted facility does not generate any solids), explain this in writing.
For your convenience, we can accept a faxed copy at [phone] or you can mail it attention to me at
the mail service center address listed below. Upon receipt, a member of the NPDES Unit will further review your
application and will contact you if additional information is required.
If you have any additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact Tom Belnick
at [phone].
Sincerely,
Dina Sprinkle

SUMMARY
Camp Blue Star is currently permitted for 0.04 MGD flow. An ATC approved 2/7/98 included a dual train 0.06
MGD extended aeration package plant; However, the permitted flow of 0.04 MGD remained (mostly due to the
permittee's lack of knowledge of actual flow amounts). The camp now requests that the flow be increased to 0.06
MGD; flow values for July 1999 indicated a monthly average of 0.045 MGD (0.052 MGD max.). This facility is
seasonally operated. The existing plant (including current chlorine contact tank) has adequate capacity to treat
60,000 gpd.
Per ARO, no alternatives to discharge currently exist (mountainous terrain, no nearby sewer lines).
Mud Creek appears on the draft 303d list for the entire stream length. It is questionable as to the impact of this
discharge on Mud Creek; habitat degradation is the primary reason for Mud Creek being listed on the draft 2000
303d list. This discharge is in the headwaters of Mud Creek. Limits to protect WQ (regardless of 303 d listing)
have been drafted for this paper expansion request.
F
TOXICITY TESTING:
None required — 100% domestic facility.
� ) .r�
y 92000 i
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY: {�
The facility has had sporadic compliance problems with flow.
a nrp�UE�. (lilrt
INSTREAM MONITORING:
Camp Blue Star is required to monitor for temperature and fecal coliform instream. Downstream fecal values appear
more elevated than upstream in some cases, but this does not appear to be attributable to the discharger.
Instream monitoring will be eliminated (fecal coli is not on draft 303 d list/ 2000, and ambient monitoring stations
exist along Mud Creek)
INTDGS Niodificatiotr
PaL"e J

PROPOSED CHANGES:
Limits for NH3-N reflect limits based on ammonia toxicity at 7QI0 flow [3 mg/l summer, 9 mg/l winter]. The
proposed ammonia limits may be difficult for the facility to meet consistently due to the seasonal nature of the
discharge.
The facility also should have a residual chlorine limit of 28 ug/l. [This could be phased in if necessary]3_1�

the expanded plant will fit on the east side of the site. There
is limited expansion area on the east side, however, the applicant
stated that there was adequate area on the south side of the
existing plant, which is consistent with the site visit.
8. Topography (relationship to flood plain included): WWTP site is
below the dam of the lake on the summer camp in the headwaters of
Mud Creek. The south side of the valley is steep,.. rising from el.
2200' to 36001. The existing treatment plant is elevated
sufficiently above the creek to avoid flooding. No information is
provided in the engineering report on the elevation of the
proposed facility.

4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: Has the facility evaluated all
of the non -discharge options available. Please provide regional
perspective for each option evaluated.
Spray Irrigation: This was not evaluated in the preliminary
engineering report. Since the camp owns 625 acres, this option
should be addressed.
Connection to. Regional Sewer System: not available
Subsurface: The engineering report indicates that part of the camp
has subsurface systems and that these are proposed to be taken off
and the flow added to the WWTP, but no explanation is given why.
This option should be investigated further to ascertain if part or
all of the flow can be treated with subsurface systems. Even if
only part of the flow can be treated in this manner, this will
reduce the load on the creek and result in less stringent effluent
limitations, making compliance easier.

PART
IV -
EVALUATION AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
The engineering report is inadequate to serve as an analysis
of alternatives.due to lack of information on non -discharge
alternatives for part or all of the flow. In addition, the
following specific comments.are made:
1. A chlorine solution feeder is utilized at the existing
plant in lieu of a tablet chlorinator as stated in the
engineering report.
Page 4

- - -
2. The plant effluent TSS concentration of 34.0 mg/1 in
September 1994 was in violation of the TSS limit in addition..
to the violations listed "in Table 2 of the report.
3. According to the report, about.20% of the camp is
currently served by septic tanks and subsurface systems.
These are proposed to be connected to the sewer system with
no explanation given why. If these systems.are functioning
properly, it is recommended that .they be left as is. Also,
the condition of these -existing systems should be used to
indicate if additional subsurface systems may be constructed.
4. The aeration volume presented as necessary for complete
nitrification does not apply to single stage systems where
nitrification must take place in addition to carbonaceous BOD
removal in a single aeration basin. At least 24 hours
detention is needed in order to meet NH3-N limits in a single
stage system. Therefore Alternative A is not acceptable
since it would not provide sufficient hydraulic detention
time.
5. The middle paragraph on page 5 seems to confuse
nitrification with denitrification, which is not an issue.
6. The chlorine residual of 31.1 mg/1 which is proposed is
excessive.
7. Alternative A refers to an existing tablet chlorinator.
A chlorine solution feeder is currently used for
disinfection.
8. Alternative B should more completely describe the
proposed additions, such as the type and capacity of
treatment plant and how it is to be used in conjunction with
existing treatment. This option will result -in three
separate treatment trains, the proposed addition being of a
different configuration than the other two. This situation
should be avoided if at all possible due to the difficulties
of operation.
9. Does liquid chlorine disinfection refer to utilization of
a chlorine solution of hypochlorite or to gaseous chlorine?
It is recommended that gaseous chlorine be avoided. Options
other than sulfur dioxide should also be considered for
dechlorination due to the initial expense and level of
operational skill involved with a gas feeder. It should be
pointed out that chlorine is not currently limited, it is
only required to be monitored.
Page 5

10. Diagram 2 appears to have been left out. The shop
drawing of the treatment plant on the last page of the report
is unreadable and is not labeled as to what it is proposed
for. It appears - to be a contact stabilization type unit,
which is not appropriate for this..installation.
11. In the estimated cost projections, the items for which
costs are listed should be more fully described, such as type
and capacity of equipment. It appears that capital
expenditures for additional items should be addressed, such
as site work, chlorination, yard piping, flow splitter,
sludge holding, blowers, electrical supply and controls, and
auxiliary power. If some of this is included in the lump sum
price for the treatment plant, this should be stated.
12. Alternative D addresses limiting flows, but only from
the aspect -of limiting campers. The NPDES Permit limits
flows at the treatment plant rather than the number of
campers. Projected flows of 60 gallons per person per day is
used in the absence of data and may be unrealistic. ZC£
he ,t 'Mfie K i ' ` e k s o'n r_tT a t�%i�2 At
minimum, flow meters should be installed on the wells. Other
locations should be considered for metering with the
objective of isolating and reducing excessive flows,
regardless of the type of waste treatment. to be provided.
This data should be considered in the final design of any
additional treatment capacity. variations in the measured
flow should also be considered in evaluating the adequacy of
existing flow equalization.
13. Alternative E only considers the utilization of
subsurface treatment for the total flow. This option -should
be considered in lieu of expansion of the discharging system
as well. Utilization of this option would not prevent the
continued use of hiking trails and many other non-structural
uses in the same area. Simply stating lack of land area and
negative impact on camp operations, when there are 625 acres
involved, is insufficient to negate this option.
Conventional as well as low pressure pipe type systems should
be further investigated for some or all of the flow utilizing
soils and other information.
14. A sand filter should be considered as an alternative to
mechanical treatment, due to the difficulty in operating this
type of treatment successfully on a short term basis.
Restrictive ammonia limits, which are related to higher
flows, may render a sand filter undesirable.
Page 6

15. The analysis of alternatives must include a present
worth analysis including operational.and maintenance
expenses.
16. In the second paragraph -under, -the conclusions,
"nitrogen" should be "ammonia -nitrogen".
17. The basis for the necessary oxygen requirement
calculated should be provided. The existing aerators should
be evaluated for adequacy.. Upon expansion, the NH3-N limit
will likely be lowered. The existing plant should be
evaluated for the ability to meet more stringent limits.
18. The proposed method of sludge wasting is not adequate.
Mean cell residence time will be very critical in maintaining
proper conditions for nitrification. Sludge holding
facilities will allow incremental wasting and maintenance of
the optimum MLSS concentration.
It is recommended that an alternatives analysis be completed
to determine if part or all of the flow can be disposed of on
site, avoiding the need to expand the permit flow limit. The
guidance for an alternatives analysis should be submitted to the
applicant along with a request for this information.

Hi Joe,
This facility was inspected June, 25, 2014 and was found to be compliant. I have attached the RIMS Inspection report for
your reference. It looks like the.only recommendation is the need for a refrigerated auto sampler.
Based on the inspection report and my conversation with the inspector, this permit can be renewed.
Call if you have questions.
Thanks,

Mr. Tom Kilpatrick assisted in this inspection.
The ORC has found it difficult to maintain sufficient ice in his composite sampler to keep samples at
the required 4 degrees. It is highly recommended that a refrigerated auto sampler be installed to
maintain sample integrity and consistency.
The flow meter totalizer is operational, however, the chart motor is not working. Owner has been
made aware and there are plans for replacement. The flow meter is due for calibration 08-2014.

The purpose of this letter is to provide response to the above referenced NOV. Attached is an
amended DMR with the only change being zero's added to the flow column for clarification
purposes. A copy of the original DMR and NOV is also enclosed for your review.
This NOV asserts 20 flow violations for `failure to monitor' on a continuous frequency. I submit
that there are no violations with respect to `continuous monitoring' or any other
parameter. Further, the compliant box is checked correctly.
By definition, NPDES Permit # NC0036251, page 2, Continuous flow measurement is defined,
in part, as follows: "Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when
there may be no flow...." (See attached) In this case, the NPDES permit specifies the monitoring
point as the effluent. The WWTP was shut down. There was no effluent discharge from the
facility. Therefore, continuous flow monitoring is not required and there is no violation of this
permit condition.
Further, Part A. (1) (also attached), states "discharges shall be limited and monitored ... as
specified" (ie., BOD, TSS, NH3/N, Fecal coliform, temperature, TRC, pH). Key word here is
`discharge'. With zero discharge - no monitoring is required. There is no violation here.
This NOV may be a failure of the reporting procedures as understood by the operator and as
recognized by DWQ review personnel. Therefore, the following information is provided to assist
in your further review:

I shut the WWTP down at the end of August. All campers and counselors had left. Food
service facilities were shut down. On -site staff was approximately 7 people on an 8-hour
workday basis. Influent pumps were cut off and leaf covers were installed on the aeration
basins. Most sludge had been pumped but I left some sludge in one aeration basin for later
use (I knew Blue Star and an upcoming event in late September). The EQ basin was
pumped down very low. The EQ basin has a capacity of 60,000 gallons. Any wastewater
generated during periods of shutdown is collected and held in the EQ basin. This is my
standard winter operating procedure. (By the way, the waste load from 7 people is not going
to support the biomass of a 60,000 gpd activated sludge facility).
This year, for the first time, Blue Star hosted a 4-day weekend event for dog owners and
their pets running September 23 thru 27. About 70 people were on site . I restarted the
WWTP Sept. 22 using one aeration basin. The plant had flows for 5 days and the discharge
was monitored and sampled accordingly. Camp maintenance finished clean-up and I shut
the plant down again September 28" - this time for the winter season.
Per the NOV letter instruction, I did contact Janet Cantwell to discuss the issue. During the
course of the discussion, Janet pointed out that all Class H facilities require daily visits by the
operator. There is no exception for shut down facilities. Indeed, 15A NCAC 08G .0204 (2) b.
requires operator visits 5 days per week, excluding holidays. It makes no exception for shut
down units. And apparently, there is no discretion within DWQ except to enforce this statutory
provision.
Also apparently, for years many of my colleagues and myself have been under the impression
that when a unit is shut down and with no discharge, daily visits are not required. I feel sure this
situation must have come to DWQ attention at some point previously with other camps/WWTP's
shut down for the winter months. I also feel sure DWQ has considered this issue and has made
some reasonable resolution. Prior to the use of DWQ Form MR-1 (11-04) which has the "NO
FLOW / DISCHARGE FROM SITE' box, I was advised to write `No Flow - Shut down for the
winter' on the face of the DMR. This seemed to work nicely - I never received an NOV for it.
Of course, DWQ and staff must enforce the statutes equitably and consistently - statewide. Daily
operator visits when facilities are shut down for the winter appear to be an undue expense on the
summer camp industry as well as an unwise use of operator time and gasoline resources.
Therefore, I request guidance and information on the DWQ position regarding this issue.

I have spoken to Jerry Rimmer, TACU, and he advised me to call Don Price. I had already called
Don but he was out of the office for the week. Therefore, I will copy Don with this letter so he
will be aware of the issues.
Again, I feel sure that a similar situation must have come to DWQ attention at some point
previously with other camps/WWTP's shut down for the winter months. I would appreciate
guidance on accepted current procedure for future DMR reporting during facility shut down
periods. I also feel this NOV is without merit for the stated violations and should be rescinded.
Please feel free to give me a call at 828-890-4810 or 828-243-1784, or email me at

NPDES Permit Requirements
Page 2 of 16
In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems
having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at
intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow-shall-be=1
monitored-conniii.iOy except for the infrequenf= t►me,s =when there=may be no flow\ 'or for infrequent `mauitenance-
activities on the flow device. �°
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration .or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily S��
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWQ or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
Facility Closure
The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage
under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the.individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]' shall be considered = 1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.

Annual Performance Report
Wastewater Treatment Systems
On July 20, 1999, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified House Bill 1160, the Clean
Water Act of 1999, which placed significant new reporting requirements on those entities that
own or operate wastewater treatment and collection systems. Specific items included:
1. A Spill Response Plan
2. Sewer Collection System Operation & Maintenance Plan
3. Annual Performance Report
These new requirements became effective October 1, 1999. This law was established to provide
a mechanism for public oversight (and hopefully, to instill public confidence) in owners and
operators of wastewater treatment systems and in their efforts to protect the waters of the state.
We are pleased to announce that the Annual Performance Report for Blue Star Camps
wastewater treatment and sewer line collection system is now available for review.
A copy of the full report is available to interested persons by contacting the camp office.
Tom Kilpatrick & Associates is pleased to be a part of this on -going environmental protection
effort.

Preface
On July 20, 1999, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified House Bill 1160,
the Clean Water Act of 1999, which placed significant new reporting
requirements on those entities that own or operate wastewater treatment and
collection systems. Specific items included:
1. A Spill Response Plan
2, Sewer Collection System Operation & Maintenance Plan
3. Annual Performance Report
These new requirements became effective October 1, 1999.
This report is designed to meet the minimum requirements established by the
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) as set
forth in their guidance document dated October 19, 1999.

special education and tours to both counselors and campers
with regard to how it operates both the water and
wastewater systems to be environmentally sensitive.
Collection System - The collection system is a standard gravity design with 4-
inch and 8-inch diameter pipe and standard pre -cast
manholes. The system serves the immediate area confined
within Blue Star Camps' grounds. Blue Star Camps
maintains an operation and maintenance plan for the sewer
collection system.
Treatment Process - The treatment process is a typical "Extended Aeration"
process rated at 60,000 gallons per day (gpd).
System components consists of a bar screen, equalization
basin (60,000 gals. capacity) with mechanical pre -aeration,
Page -3-

dual influent grinder pumps (70 gpm), flow splitter box,
dual path aeration basins (30,000 gals. capacity each) with
mechanical aeration, dual clarifiers, sludge holding tank
(10,000 gals. capacity), chlorine contact chamber with
tablet feed, dechlorination chamber with tablet feed, and an
effluent flow meter.
The treated effluent is discharged to the headwaters of Mud
Creek - a class C stream.

I. No later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall begin submitting discharge
monitoring reports electronically using the Division's eDMR system [see A. (2)].
2. TRC limit and monitoring requirements apply only if chlorine is used by the facility. Because of
difficulty measuring TRC in a wastewater matrix, the Division will consider all values reported above
50 µg/L by the North Carolina -Certified test method to be compliant with this permit. However, the
Permittee shall continue to report all TRC values (or the test -method minimum detection level) even if
these values are below 50 µg/L.
The Permittee shall discharge no floating solids or foam visible in other than trace amounts.
A. (2) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[NCGS 143-215.1 (b)]
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and specify
that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs
electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Division anticipates that these regulations will
be adopted and is beginning implementation.

discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report
(eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted
electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and submit
DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with
EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all
discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will. be required to complete the eDMR
submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer -printed eDMR
to the following address:
NC DENR / Division of Water Resources / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being
physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a
temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring
data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1. 1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director.
Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be submitted in
writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be
required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid for twelve (12) months and
shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the
permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division.
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting
requirements is found on the following web page:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/adnihVbog/ipu/ediur
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance
of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of
discharge.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be
representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is
not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar DU
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period
of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with
the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow
measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 18
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a
constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be
used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab
samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling
period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also
"Composite Sample," above.)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations
prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that
requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWR or "the Division"
The Division of Water Resources, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Effluent
Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source
whether treated or untreated.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission
EPA
The United States Environmental Protection Agency
Facility Closure
Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this
permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions

Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA.
Instantaneous flow measurement
The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in
that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab
samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge
during that sampling period.
Monthly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal
coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Permit Issuing Authority_
The Director of the Division of Water Resources.
Quarterly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter.
Severe property damage

(and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the Permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions
of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality
assurance procedures. This provision requires the Permittee to install and operate backup or auxiliary facilities only
when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit [40 CFR 122.41(e)].
NOTE: Properly and officially designated operators are fully responsible for all proper operation and maintenance
of the facility, and all documentation required thereof, whether acting as a contract operator [subcontractor] or a
member of the Permittee's staff.
3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or
reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit [40 CFR 122.41(c)].
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Bypass not exceeding limitations [40 CFR 122.41(m)(2)]

Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization.
This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T
.0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government
organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges
to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW
treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of
POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)]
"Significant Industrial User" or "SIU"
An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(33)]:
1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary,
noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the
POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and
conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a
Significant Industrial User (SIU); or
6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a
non -significant categorical Industrial User.
Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs)
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 15 of 18
All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]:
