Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO076082
Bear Wallow Valley MHP WWTP
1975 Bear Wallow Road, Hendersonville
Henderson County
The Division of Water Resources (the Division) hereby issues the attached NPDES permit for the
subject facility. We issue this permit pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute
143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007, or as subsequently amended.
Changes for Renewal. The Division understands [from your consultant, Whitewater Environmental,
LLC] that you have made no significant changes to your treatment processes since last renewal. We have
therefore made only minimal changes to your permit by updating your permit format and site map.
However, please note that electronic reporting of Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) is now
required.
Implementing Electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports (eDMRs). Please be advised that the Division
has implemented an electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) program, in accord with pending
requirements by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We include the details to implement the
eDMR program in this permit [see Section A. (2.)].
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all DMRs and specify that, if North
Carolina does not establish a program to receive such submittals, Permittees must then submit eDMRs
directly to EPA. For more information on eDMRs, registering for eDMR submittal, 'and obtaining an
eDMR user account, please visit DWR's webpage:
http://portal.nedenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/i L/p edmr.

A. (2.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING - DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[G.S. 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 adopted
and implemented these regulations in 2013.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this
permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
Section B. (11.)
Signatory Requirements
Section D. (2.)
Reporting
Section D. (6.)
Records Retention
Section E. (5.)
Monitoring Reports
Reporting [Supersedes Part II, Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)]
Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, the Permittee shall report
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:
NCDEQ / DWR / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 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.

Permit NCO076082
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting
requirements is found on the following web page:
http://portal.NCDEQ. org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr
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.
Signatory Requirements [Supplements Part II, Section B. (11.) (b) and supersedes Section B. (11.) (d)]
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in Part II,
Section B. (11.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part II, Section
B. (I 1.)(b). A person, and not a position, must be delegated signatory authority for eDMR reporting
purposes.
For eDMR submissions, the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an eDMR user
account and login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more information on North Carolina's
eDMR system, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit the following
web page:
http://portal.NCDEQ.org/web/wq/admin/bog/l*pu/edmr
Certification. Any person submitting an electronic DMR using the state's eDMR system shall make
the following certification [40 CFR 122.22]. NO OTHER STATEMENTS OF CERTIFICATION
WILL BE ACCEPTED:
"I certify, under penalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared under my
direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel
properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons
who manage the system, or those persons_ directly responsible for gathering the information, the
information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am
aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of
fines and imprisomnent for knowing violations."
Records Retention [Supplements Part II, Section D. (6.)]
The Permittee shall retain records of all Discharge Monitoring Reports, including eDMR submissions.
These records or copies shall be maintained for a period of at least 3 years from the date of the report.
This period may be extended by request of the Director at any time [40 CFR 122.41].

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 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
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
Page 3 of 18
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
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 or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges.

a. designate one Operator In Responsible Charge (ORC) who possesses a valid certificate of the type and grade at
least equivalent to the type and grade of the system;
b. designate one or more Back-up Operator(s) in Responsible Charge (Back-up ORCs) who possesses a valid
certificate of the type of the system and no more than one grade less than the grade of the system, with the
exception of no backup operator in responsible charge is required for systems whose minimum visitation
requirements are twice per year; and
c. submit a signed completed "Water Pollution Control System Operator Designation Form" to the Commission
(or to the local health department for owners of subsurface systems) countersigned by the designated certified
operators, designating the Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and the Back-up Operator in Responsible
Charge (Back-up ORC):
(1) 60 calendar days prior to wastewater or residuals being introduced into a new system; or
(2) within 120 calendar days following:
➢ receiving notification of a change in the classification of the system requiring the designation of a new
Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and Back-up Operator in Responsible Charge (Back-up ORC)
of the proper type and grade; or
➢ a vacancy in the position of Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) or Back-up Operator in
Responsible Charge (Back-up ORC).

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 7 of 18
(3) within seven calendar days of vacancies in both ORC and Back-up ORC positions replacing or designating
at least one of the responsibilities.
The ORC of each Class I facility (or the Back-up ORC, when acting as surrogate for the ORC) must:
➢ Visit the facility as often as is necessary to insure proper operation of the treatment system; the treatment
facility must be visited at least weekly
➢ Comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 08G .0204.
The ORC of each Class ll, Ill and IV facility (or the Back-up ORC, when acting as surrogate for the ORC) must:
➢ Visit the facility as often as is necessary to insure proper operation of the treatment system; the treatment
facility must be visited at least five days per week, excluding holidays
➢ Properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility
➢ Comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 08G .0204.
2. Proper Operation and Maintenance
The Permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control
(and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the Permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions
of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality
assurance procedures. This provision requires the Permittee to install and operate backup or auxiliary facilities only
when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit [40 CFR 122.41(e)].
NOTE: Properly and officially designated operators are fully responsible for all proper operation and maintenance
of the facility, and all documentation required thereof, whether acting as a contract operator [subcontractor] or a
member of the Permittee's staff.
3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or
reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit [40 CFR 122.41(c)].
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Bypass not exceeding limitations [40 CFR 122.41(m)(2)]
The Permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but
only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the
provisions of Paragraphs b. and c. of this section.
b. Notice [40 CFR 122.41(m)(3)]
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the Permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice,
if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality
and effect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The Permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part
II.E.6. (24-hour notice).
c. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass from the treatment facility is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement
action against a Permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,
retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This
condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of
reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of
equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The Permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph b. of this section.
(2) Bypass from. the collection system is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement
action against a Permittee for a bypass as provided in any current or future system -wide collection system
permit associated with the treatment facility.
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 8 of 18
(3) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if
the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph c.
(1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Effect of an upset [40 CFR 122.41(n)(2)]: An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for
noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph b. of

307(b), (c) or (d) of the CWA. [40 CFR 403.3 (i) and 0) and 15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(11)]
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 [I5A 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 snakes 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)]:

transport, which would be subject to section 301 or 306 of CWA if it were directly discharging those pollutants;
and
2. Any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants being introduced by an indirect discharger as
influent to that POTW at the time of issuance of the permit.
3. For purposes of this paragraph, adequate notice shall include information on (1) the quality and quantity of effluent
introduced into the POTW, and (2) any anticipated impact that may result from the change of the quantity or
quality of effluent to be discharged from the POTW.
Section C. Municipal Control of Pollutants from Industrial Users.
Effluent limitations are listed in Part I of this permit. Other pollutants attributable to inputs from Industrial Users
discharging to the POTW may be present in the Permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information
becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be revised to specify effluent
limitations for any or all of such other pollutants in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality
standards.
Prohibited Discharges
a. The Permittee shall develop and enforce their Pretreatment Program to implement the prohibition against the
introduction of pollutants or discharges into the waste treatment system or waste collection system which

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 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

NPDES Permit Standard Con

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.
tinuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is
calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration
comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the
arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in
the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal
operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit
parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).

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.

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.
B ass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which
is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through
October through December.
March, April through June, July through September, and
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.

I
In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems
having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at
intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge' concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month for conventional and other non -toxicant parameters.
NOTE: Permittees may not submit a "daily average" calculation for determining compliance with permit limits for
toxicants. See the relevant Federal effluent guideline[s] for the appropriate calculation interval.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
i
DW or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
I
EMC

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.

systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the Permittee to
achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate
laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the Permittee to install
and operate backup or auxiliary facilities only when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the
permit [40 CFR 122.41 (e)].
3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or
reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit [40 CFR 122.41
(c)]
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Bypass not exceeding limitations [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (2)]
The Permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but
only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the
provisions of Paragraphs b. and c. of this section.
b. Notice [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (3)]
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the Permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior
notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the
anticipated quality and effect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The Permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part
II. E. 6. (24-hour notice).
c. Prohibition of Bypass

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 b. of this section.
(2) Bypass from the collection system is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement
action against a Permittee for a bypass as provided in any current or future system -wide collection system
permit associated with the treatment facility.
(3) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if
the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph c.
(1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Effect of an upset [40 CFR 122.41 (n) (2)]: An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action
brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of
paragraph b. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
Version 51112006

NPDES Peanut Requirements
Page 8 of 16
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action
subject to judicial review.
b. 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) of this permit.
(4) The Permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II. B. 2. of this permit.
c. Burden of proof [40 CFR 122.41 (n) (4)]: The Permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an
upset has the burden of proof in any enforcement proceeding.
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 503. The
Permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when
promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the peanut 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 15A NCAC 2H.0124 —

either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent.
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 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 [40 CFR 122.41 (j)].
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 (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the
Director, postmarked no later than the last calendar day of the month 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: .

Dear Mr. McGee:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough
understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The following procedure has been recently implemented by DWQ: Total
residual chlorine (TRC) compliance level changed to 50ug/L. Effective March 1, 2008, the Division received EPA approval to allow 50
ug/L TRC compliance level. A footnote regarding this change has been added to the effluent limitations page in the draft permit.
This draft permit contains the following changes from your existing permit:
• Footnote #2 has been added: "The facility shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC certified laboratory including
field certified. However, effluent values below 50 ug/I will be treated as zero for compliance purposes."
• The Pre -chlorination sampling event has been deleted, per your written request and a data review of sampling events (TRC
and Fecal Coliform) for the past five years.
Concurrent with this transmittal, the Division will solicit public comment on this draft as required by the EPA by publishing a notice in
newspapers having circulation in the general Henderson County area. Following the 30-day public comment period, the Division will
review all pertinent comments and take appropriate action prior to issuing a final NPDES permit.
Should you wish to correct errors or provide comments regarding this draft please contact the DENR / DWQ / NPDES Program no
later than 30 days after receiving this document. If you have questions concerning the draft permit for your facility, please contact
me by e-mail (bob.guerra(@ncdenr.gov) or at [phone].

BACKGROUND
The Biltmore Investments, LTD has requested renewal of its NPDES permit NCO076082 for the
Bear Wallow Valley Mobile Home Park (MHP) WWTP which has a design flow of 0.01 MGD.
This permit was originally issued in 1989. During permit cycle 2006-2010 a signed Authorization
to construct (ATC) was received by DWQ On April 4, 2007 for an EQ basin, pumps, splitter box
and electrical controls.
RECEIVING STREAM INFORMATION
The WWTP discharges to an Unnamed Tributary to Clear Creek, class B-Trout water, in the
French Broad River Basin. The facility treats domestic waste only and has no industrial
dischargers. Although this particular segment of Clear Creek is not impaired, both an upstream
segment and a downstream segment are impaired for biological integrity with a possible source
being agricultural activities.
PERMIT LIMIT COMPLIANCE
Since the permit was renewed in 2006, the facility has received one (1) enforcement action for
an April 2006 Monthly ammonia violation and has paid the $350.00 penalty.
INSPECTION / CORRESPONDENCE FILES (2006-2010)
The ARO has conducted four (4.) Inspections and three (3) follow-up inspections during this
permit cycle with no reported compliance issues. Facility appeared to be very well operated and
maintained during 11-30-2010 inspection.
INSTREAM MONITORING:
Not required for this facility at this time.

Ms. Sprinkle:
Please find the enclosed NPDES renewal application for Bear Wallow Valley MHP permit #
NC0076082. We are requesting that the current permit, which expires on November 30, 2010,
will be taken into consideration for renewal. The facility was granted an Authorization to
Construct, # 076082A01, for a 4,100 gallon flow equalization basin on March 12, 2007 and was
certified to begin operation by J. Thurman Horne of Horizon Engineering & Consulting, Inc. on
January 26, 2008. 1 have attached a copy of the engineer's certification letter. This was the
only change to the Wastewater Treatment Facility since the renewal of the last permit.
The current permit has a footnote stating that during recreational season, (May 1 — Sept. 30),
one total residual chlorine sample must be taken on either Friday afternoon or Saturday
morning. The sample should be taken above the point of dechlorination. This footnote was
placed in the permit due to a concern by a resident in the area. The past laboratory results
indicate that all fecal Coliform results were well below parameter limits and during routine
sampling, a total residual chlorine sample is taken above the point of dechlorination for process
control. I would like to respectfully request that this footnote be removed from the new permit, if
possible.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this renewal package.

INTRODUCTION
Biltmore Investments, Ltd. operates an existing wastewater treatment facility in Henderson
County, N.C. which provides service for Bear Wallow Subdivision. Bear Wallow is an existing
mobile home park. This application is for a proposed flow equalization basin to be added at the
existing 10,000 gpd package WWTP. The wastewater is all domestic from a mobile home park.
At present, influent is pumped from a lift station directly into the WWTP. This proposal is to add
a circular concrete flow equalization basin with an available equalization volume of approx.
4,100 gallons. This will receive the raw wastewater from the existing lift station which will pass
through a proposed simple bar screen ( 1/2" dia. bars @ 2" O.C.) The Flow equalization basin
pumps will lift the equalized flow up into the existing WWTP aeration basins. At 10,000 gpd, the
average flow rate should be about 6.9 gpm. This would be close to the ideal, continuous pump
rate for the equalization basin pumps. Using a peaking factor of 3.0, the design peak flow rate is
20.8 gpm. This will be a duplex pump installation and will have a control panel and floats (4) for
HOA operation, alternating pumps, audible and visual alarm..
The proposed addition of the flow equalization basin will not alter the existing wastewater
treatment facilities. All existing facilities will remain in service. The proposed flow equalization
facilities will serve to equalize the flows influent to the existing wastewater treatment facilities
by dampening the surges in flow that now occur from the existing lift station.
A proposed flow splitter box will receive flow from the proposed flow equalization basin pumps
and will allow the rate of flow from the equalization basin to be adjusted and divided between
the existing dual aeration basins as desired. With this installation, the operator should be able to
utilize the proposed equalization basin to receive and dampen the recurring surges in flow now
being experienced from the influent lift station and control the rate of flow from the equalization
basin to a much more uniform rate of delivery, equalized over the course of the entire day.
The facilities will also include a simple bar screen for removing large solids. This screening is
currently lacking in the existing wastewater treatment facilities.

Existing WWTP is served by two (2) existing blowers, each designed at 375 CFM. Each of the
existing blowers has almost five times the necessary capacity for both the existing wastewater
treatment facilities and the proposed flow equalization basin (total air requirements = 79.8
CFM.) Therefore, the proposed flow equalization basin will be served by the air supply from the
existing blowers.

A letter of request for Authorization to Construct was received November 28, 2006, by
the Division, and final plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and
found to be satisfactory. Authorization is hereby granted for the construction of modifications to
the existing 0.010 MGD Wastewater Treatment Plant, with discharge of treated wastewater into
Clear Creek in the French Broad River Basin.
This authorization results in no increase in design or permitted capacity and is awarded
for the construction of the following specific modifications:
Installation of a 4,100-gallon capacity equalization basin complete with an
influent bar screen, two (2) 21 GPM submersible wastewater pumps, air diffuser
piping, a flow splitter box, and site piping, valves, vaults, electrical, controls, and
other appurtenances necessary to provide a complete system, in conformity with
the project plans, specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and
approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of
NPDES Permit No. NCO076082 issued December 1, 2006, and shall be subject to revocation

Seth,
Please accept this email as the response to the request for comments concerning the A-to-C for the flow
equalization basin proposed for Bear Wallow Mobile Home Park (NPDES Permit NC0076082,
Henderson County).
The regional office recommends issuance of subject A-to-C; a flow equalization basin GREATLY
enhances operability of a package plant serving a mobile home park.
The alarm feature is described in the specifications accompanying the plans, but it does not appear on the
plans.
No mention is made concerning disposal of screenings from the bar screen shown on the inlet to the
proposed flow equalization basin.
Float levels are not shown on the plans.
Your attention is appreciated. Please advise if there are questions or a need for additional information.

Residuals Management Plan and Construction Sequence Plan
Prepared by: J. Thurman Horne, P.E.
Horizon Engineering & Consulting, Inc.
Residuals Management Plan:
The proposed modifications will have no impact on existing residuals management.
The amounts of sludge generated vary dependent upon factors including the strength of
wastewater, variations in treatment efficiency, temperature, etc. The role of the existing sludge
holding tank is to serve as an outlet where the operator may periodically waste excess volumes
of sludge that are not needed as return to the aeration basin. The operator will waste sludge to
the holding tank as part of maintaining mixed liquor within preferred ranges and based on
physical observations plus performance testing.
Periodically, the accumulated volumes of sludge need to be removed and disposed off site. This
is already practiced at the existing WWTP, and will continue. The current method of disposal is
by private contractor and is disposed by the contractor at either an approved land application
site or the Town of Hendersonville, POTW.
This project does not increase or alter the amounts of sludge produced or impact the current
methods of disposition.
Construction Sequence Plan:
The construction of the proposed modifications should be able to be accomplished with
negligible interference to the continued operation of the existing WWTP. The proposed new
flow equalization facilities will be constructed largely independent from the existing WWTP
facilities. The contractor will first construct the new flow equalization facilities detailed in the
plans. The contractor will then interrupt the existing pipe lines connecting the existing influent
lift station and the existing WWTP and will make the in line connection of the inlets and
outlets to the proposed flow equalization basin. These connections involve simple
disconnection of the existing PVC influent piping, rerouting into the flow equalization basin
and reconnection of the effluent from the pumps in the flow equalization basin to the existing
wastewater treatment plant, aeration basins. This entire connection and reconnection process
should be accomplished within only an hour or so and should only require that the influent be
retained by temporarily shutting off the influent lift station. This should have no adverse affect
on the existing operations since the existing influent wet well has adequate detention capacity
to such a short term interruption of service. As a precaution, during this procedure, the
contractor will monitor the water level in the influent lift station wet well to make sure that
there is no danger of overfilling and overflow.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Although the original permit was for 12,000 gpd, the anticipated
flows were revised and an A to C was requested and issued for
10,000 gpd with the understanding that the permit would be
modified to 10,000 gpd upon reissuance. Therefore the permit
should be revised to show a permitted flow of 10,000 gpd.
It is recommended that the permit be reissued as requested with
the exception of the permitted flow being revised to 10,000 gpd.

Dear Mr. Stefanou:
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received December 11, 1992 by the
Division and final plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and found to be
satisfactory. Authorization is hereby granted for the construction of a(T0;000 GP]7w_astew_a.�-treatment
facility consisting of anfinfluent-lift-station, dual-5;000_gallon_aerationrtanks, d� ual`5;650 gallon cl—anfiers, a
sludge holding�tank, and a�flow=measuring-syst6 with discharge of`tre�a� wastewater into an unnamed
tributary to Clear Creek. Adequate baffling shall be added to the chlorine contact tank to prevent short
circuiting and thus insure adequate contact time for disinfection. Additionally, as required by Section II,
Part D-3 of NPDES Permit Number NC0076082, the flow measuring device (including the flow
measuring weir) shall be designed in conformance with accepted scientific practices and shall be capable of
measuring flows with a maximum deviation of less than + 10% from the true discharge rates throughout
the range of expected discharge volume. Submission of the Engineer's Certification (as required below)
shall be indicative of compliance with these baffling and flow measurement requirements.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph B of NPDES
Permit No. NCO076082 issued May 18, 1989, and shall be subject to revocation unless the wastewater
treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in Permit No.
NC0076082.
The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with G.S.
143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this
Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities.
The Asheville Regional Office, telephone number [phone], shall be notified at least forty-
eight (48) hours in advance of operation of the installed facilities so that an in -place inspection can be
made. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made during the normal office hours from 8:00

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 include:
1. A Spill Response Plan
2. Sewer Collection System Operation and Maintenance Plan
3. Annual Performance Report
These new requirements became effective on October 1, 1999.
This report is designed to meet the minimum requirements for the Annual Performance
Report established by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (NCDENR) as set forth in their guidance document dated October 19,1999.
This law was established to provide a mechanism for public
to instill public confidence), in owners and operators of wasl

facility consists of dual aeration basins @ 5,000 gallons each, two clarifiers @ 5,200 gals.
each, a chlorine contact chamber @ 1,031 gals., a DeChlorination unit, and a sludge holding
aerobic digester @2,062 gallons capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into an
unnamed tributary to Clear Creek in the French Broad River Basin.
Collection System — The collection system is a standard gravity design consisting of 8-inch
pipe with pre -cast manholes. The wastewater is collected at a pre -cast lift station @ 550
gallons capacity and pumped through a 2-inch force main to the Flow Equalization Basin.
The lift station consists of one electrical panel, dual 1 horsepower pumps and an audio/visual
alarm system. The collection system was designed to meet all state standards for collection
systems.

Annual Wastewater Treatment System Performance Report
For
Bearwallow Valley MHP
For the Operating Period
January 1 — December 31, 2008
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 include:
1. A Spill Response Plan
2. Sewer Collection System Operation and Maintenance Plan
3. Annual Performance Report
These new requirements became effective on October 1, 1999.
This report is designed to meet the minimum requirements for the Annual Performance
Report established by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (NCDENR) as set forth in their guidance document dated October 19,1999.
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.

Description of Treatment Process, Collection System and Facility Served:
Treatment Process — The treatment facility is a typical "Extended Aeration" process capable
of treating .010 Million Gallons Per Day (MGD). The facility consists of a 4100 gallon Flow
Equalization Basin. The EQ basin consists of one electrical panel which controls the pumps
by a float system, an audio/visual alarm system, a bar screen, dual 1 /2 horsepower pumps,
and a splitter box that distributes the flow equally and at a desired rate to the treatment
facility. Two gravity emergency overflow pipes are also provided. The treatment facility
consists of dual aeration basins @ 5,000 gallons each, two clarifiers, a chlorine contact
chamber and a DeChlorination unit. The treated effluent is discharged into an unnamed
tributary to Clear Creek in the French Broad River Basin.
Collection System — The collection system is a standard gravity design consisting of 8-inch
pipe with pre -cast manholes. The wastewater is collected at a pre -cast lift station and
pumped through a 2-inch force main to the Flow Equalization Basin. The lift station consists
of one electrical panel, dual 1 horsepower pumps and an audio/visual alarm system. The
collection system was designed to meet all state standards for collection systems.
Facilities Served — This system serves Bearwallow Valley MHP.
H. WWTP Performance
All operating parameters were in compliance with NPDES Permit limits for 2008.
We take pride in our efforts to protect the local environment and the quality of the waters in our
streams.
III. Collection System Performance
The collection system experienced no significant problems for the reporting period.
Whitewater Environmental maintains a routine operation and maintenance plan for the system.

Dear Mr. Berry:
During our conversation on June 26, 2007 you expressed concern regarding the
operation of the emergency power generator at Bear Wallow Mobile Home Park. In
response to your concern Starr Silvis and I met with Kevin White, Operator in Responsible
Charge, on June 27, 2007. In our presence Mr. White interrupted the grid power. Almost
immediately the emergency power generator came on and ran smoothly for several
minutes. All evidence indicated that the generator was operating properly. Kevin informed
me that wiring and a control panel were replaced in April of this year after having suffered
mice damage.
Starr Silvis and I enjoyed talking to you and Jane this morning. I hope you have a
good trip to Alabama. Should you have concerns or additional questions about the
wastewater treatment plant serving Bear Wallow Mobile Home Park please do not hesitate
to call me at 828-296-4659.

Dear Mr. Klimek:
I did not receive an acknowledgement to tb.c'attached letter, I am primarily concerned
about the last paragraph. The cycling I observed is not normal and indicates a lacy of proper back
up power support to the treatment plant, I still believe that the cycling is the cause of the dead
battery. The operator told me that he intended to get the owner to fix the problem, I still believe
that the system is flawed as long as the generator cycles.
I would appreciate a professional assessment of this problem.
Sincerely,f ell

Dear Mr. Klink:
April 17, 2007
6n A,pril 15, 2007, about 7:30PK electrical power was interrupted for the Ecarwallow
Mobile Home Park on Searwallow Road in Henderson County near Edneyville. Since I am
downstream on Clear Creek from the wastewater trealYilent plaint serving this Park, I am always
concerned about the efficiency of the aged package unit installed there. At 8:30AK on the
morning of April 16, 2007, the power was still of� so I went to the plant to sw if the' backup
power unit was operating and found it inoperative. At this time, there was no evidence of anyone
tending to the problem. I reported the failure by email to the NPDES supervisor listed in the State
directory.
Later in the day i received a call from Wanda Frazier in the Asheville water quality
office. She explained that the operator was aware of the problem and had gone to got a new
battery for the unit. She also informed me that the company that removed solids from the plant
had shown up unannounced, so there would be no discharge until the power was restored because
the water pump was also inoperative. I went to the plant and found the operator there and he
confirmed all that Wanda bad told me. At this time the standby power unit was operating,
however it would not stay online and cycled on and off. The operator said he felt that the plant
was operating enough to get proper aeration.
This morning at 9:OOAM, I checked on the plant and the standby power unit was still
running because electrical service had not been restored. It will run for 80 seconds and the shut
down completely for 20 seconds and continue to cycle in this manner. The operator said be did
not know why this occurred but felt it was satisfactory. I question that decision. Something is
wrong with the unit and that may well be why the battery failed. The system is flawed so Iong as
this problem exigts..It maybe the power unit is.being overloaded since theplant is very -old. I do
believe everything should operate correctly to preclude unknown failures.
I would appreciate a further investigation of this problem.
Sincerely, ~ `�

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
11-9-2006 by Wanda Frazier.
The permit expires on 11-30-2010, please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration.
The aeration basin process control data was as follows on the day of the inspection.
Temperature = 20 degrees Celcius
pH = 6.7 units
Dissolved Oxygen = 0.7 mg/I
Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3 mg/I. Seasonal changes in
temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve ideal dissolved oxygen levels.
Settleable Solids = 900 ml/I = 90%
Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so that the flow rate is
approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the settleable solids from the aeration basin
after settling for 30 minutes in a settleometer. For example, a settleability of 30% would generally indicate a
recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%.
Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%) the same as the percent return sludge pumping rate (i.e.
30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained. If the plant cannot handle that return
sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably recommended, unless the sludge is too young.
The effluent data was as follows on the day of the inspection.
Dissolved Oxygen = 3.4 mg/I
pH = 6.9 units
Temperature = 20 degrees Celcius
Chlorine = < 25 ug/I
The log book was present on -site and had good notation of daily events.
The effluent appeared to be clear, indicating compliance with permit limits.
This facility appears to be well operated and maintained. The operator was on -site during the inspection
and is doing a good job.
An Authorization to Construct has been issued for the construction of an equalization basin. Construction is
scheduled to begin in May 2007.

Do the generator(s) have adequate capacity to operate the entire wastewater site?
Is there an emergency agreement with a fuel vendor for extended run on back-up power?
Is the generator fuel level monitored?
Comment: Currently using a propane fueled 7 KW generator. This generator is
capable of running the WWTP. Whenever there are power outages, the mobile home
park does not have a back-up generator for the park's water system, therefore, there is
no wastewater flow to the wastewater treatment plant. An A to C has been issued for
an equalization basin and a 25 KW generator, which will be capable of powering the
water system, lift station and WWTP. Construction is scheduled to begin in May 2007.

Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority

$350.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or

which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural

enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:

(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:

RE: Notice of Violation and Civil Penalty (Case # LV 2006-0171)
Dear Mr. Edwards;
We would like to respectfully request a remission or mitigation of the above referenced Civil
Penalty for the following reasons:
1. Prior to this violation we had already taken steps to assess whether or not our sewer plant
needed to be upgraded. Specifically we installed a flow meter in order to measure peak
flows, and determined with the help of an engineer that an "EQ" Tank was a reasonable
.upgrade.. We then* asked an engineer for a quote.
2... About the time of this violation we were waiting for a second quote on engineering
services, prior to getting started on the submission process.
3. Our sewer plant has always been in compliance and our operator Kevin White is known
to your office as a very responsible operator, so the non compliance factor surprised us
greatly.
4. Plus Kevin wasn't notified until after there were multiple non -compliant readings due to
some type of E-Mail problem at the lab (Environmental Testing Solutions).
5. Had Kevin been immediately alerted to the first non -compliant reading he could have
made adjustments, as he did after he finally found out about the high readings, and my
supposition is that the monthly average would have been in compliance.
6. As is evidenced by current compliance reports we are back to our normal readings.'
7. However we still plan to improve the plant, and have now decided on the engineer and are
proceeding with design phase of the work necessary to add an "EQ" Tank to our plant.
8. As you must know this is an expensive process and any help from your office will be
greatly appreciated.

Subject: Proposal for Engineering Services
Proposed WWTP FIow Equalization
Bear Wallow Subdivision WWTP
Dear Mr. McGee,
I appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal to work with Bilimore Investments, Ltd. (hereafter
referred to as "the owner") in conjunction with your plans to upgrade the waste water treatment facilities
now existing at Bear Wallow Subdivision (BWWWTP.) As per your request, Horizon Engineering &
Consulting, Inc. (hereafter referred to as "the engineer") is proposing to provide engineering services to
prepare plans and specifications for the upgrading, modification, of existing components and the addition
of components at BWWWTP to add influent flow equalization facilities.
As per our conversation, the concept of adding a tank or tanks (Probably precast concrete tanks) will be
utilized as the basic guidance for developing the final plans and specifications but, there may be minor
adjustments and variations, if deemed appropriate in the course of developing the final plans and
specifications.
This proposal does not include the costs for obtaining any local permits (building, etc.), any subsurface
investigations, locating underground utilities, inspection or confirmation electrical power supply, or any
surveying of the property to confirm the location of existing and/or proposed facilities with respect to
property lines, well locations, surface waters, etc., as may be necessary. (At this time, the engineer does not
foresee the need for any additional surveys and will endeavor to try to avoid or minimize any such
necessity by relying upon existing plans, snaps, etc. as the owner may provide. At a minimum, the engineer
will need for the owner to provide a plan drawing showing the location of the existing BW W WTP with
respect to existing property lines and at least one point of established elevation at the BWWiVTP.)
This proposal does not include any investigation or testing of the mechanical, electrical or structural
integrity of the existing and/or used wastewater treatment components that may be utilized in proposed
construction and/or modifications. The engineer has and will visually inspect any such components and
will make such determinations as are reasonably possible based on his knowledge and experience within
the limitations of such visual inspection.
The following is a proposed payment schedule:
1. Prepare design plans and specifications in draft
form (unsigned, unsealed ) for your review.
2. Upon receipt of payment for step 1. above,
make any requested changes, sign and seal plans and
specifications and assemble all information
as necessary to submit for request for Authorization to
Construct (ATC). (Note: Application forms and/or
correspondence will be prepared but must be signed
by an authorized official of the owner.)
3. Make changes, consultation, etc. as necessary to
respond to comments received from the state.
$ 3,500 upon delivery
$ 250 upon submission
$ 250 upon receipt of ATC
4. Provide final inspection after construction. S 500 upon completion of construction

1?
and re t for final inspection
5. Provide engineering certification upon completion of No charge
construction consistent with approved plans and
specifications_
Total = $4,500.00
Note: This proposal only provides for one site inspection upon receiving advisement that construction is
complete and ready for final inspection. If the results of this inspection reveal that additions, changes,
etc. are needed that necessitate additional site inspection (s), these are not included in this proposal
and will be charged based on actual time ( $ 90/hr including time for travel ) and expenses (mileage,
hotel, meals, etc_) incurred. Similarly, this proposal does not provide for pre construction or during
construction meetings and or inspections. Any such meetings or inspections as may be requested by the
owner will be charged based on actual time { $ 90/hr including time for travel ) and expenses (mileage,
hotel, meals, etc.) incurred.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, please sign and date where indicated below and return an original
signed copy to me. This proposal expires ifnot signed and returned by July 1, 2006.
I appreciate the opportunity to present this proposal. If you have any questions or if I can be of any
assistance, please do not hesitate to call me (704-788-4455.) I hope that this proposal meets with the your
approval. I look forward to working with Biltrnore Investments, Ltd. in this endeavor_

Permit: WQ0007935 Owner - Facility: Bearwallow Valley Mobile Home Park
Inspection Date: 05/28/2014 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
This is the first inspection of the collection system for this facility. Mr. Kevin White/ ORC/ operator in responsible charge
for the WWTP has been taking very good care of the collection system for many years.
This collection system consists of a pump station, five manholes and one high priority line.
The original map and a copy of the collection system map are kept in the well -house. It is suggested that the original map
be kept by the owner and a copy be kept on site. The well -house is rather damp so a drier area would be more
appropriate.
The pump station w/ dual pumps was operable and the audible and visual alarms were working. It was also clean inside.
There was no spare pump, however, A & D Maintenance services equipment at the facility and would supply a spare
pump if needed.
The operator and inspector inspected one of the manholes and it was found to be free -flowing and clean.
The one "high priority" line crosses the creek near the wastewater treatment plant and appeared to be in good shape and
was easly accessible.
Mr. White/ ORC stated that copies of the "FOG" (fats, oils, grease) educational materials are handed out every six months
to the residents and are printed in English and Spanish. Copies of these are in the DWR-WQ facility file.
The ORC also stated they have an emergency/ overflow response plan in place.
Mr. White walks through the development periodically to observe the area and the manholes. The pump station is also
checked daily during the week and the Park Manager looks after it on weekends and holidays (365 days per year as
required by the permit).
A copy of the "2T Rules" (15A NCAC 02T .0403) under which this system is regulated is included with this inspection
report.

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

SUBJECT: Noise Reduction
Bear Wallow Valley Mobile Home Park
Sewage Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit Number NCO076082
Henderson County
Condition A.(2) of NPDES Permit Number NCO076082 which was issued
on April 25, 2001 for the continued operation of the sewage treatment
plant serving Bear Wallow Valley Mobile Home Park requires that "The
Permittee shall take measures to reduce noise generated at the facility
within 30 days of permit issuance."
. On June 14, 2001 I inspected the sewage treatment plant serving
Bearwallow Valley. I observed a roofed wooden structure which
completely enclosed the blowers. On site noise was considerably
reduced. The blowers could barely be heard in the back yard of the
Sharon White residence.
It is my opinion that the owners of the mobile home park have
taken adequate steps to reduce noise resulting from operation of the
plant.

This morning I received a call from Ms. Caroline Ejimofor, with EPA Region 4, who was calling on behalf
of an Assistant Inspector General. It seems that Mr. William Berry, who lives in Georgia, owns property
downstream from the Bear Wallow Valley MHP WWTP and has been opposed to the discharge from the
start, called the Inspector General regarding the fact that Nick Stefanou, owner of the MHP, requested
renewal'of his NPDES Permit approximately 3 months after its expiration but was being allowed to
continue discharging. I confirmed the above. I told Caroline that I had no inclination to make an issue of
the expired permit given that we had several dischargers operating under expired permits. I further
informed her that Nick had built a fine WWTP which was being operated by probably the best contract
operator working in Henderson County. She seemed satisfied. Just thought you all might like to know.
Have a good weekend. Roy

Dear Mr. Berry:
KERR T. STEVENS
DIRECTOR
Thank you for your recent correspondences and sharing your concerns about the Bear
Wallow Valley Mobile Home Park wastewater treatment plant in Henderson County. Secretary
Bill Holman has also asked that I address the concerns you raised in his letter.
The Division of Water Quality reviews permits on five-year cycles for each of the state's
17 river basins. These cycles are staggered, which allows both the staff and public to have a
better opportunity to review these permit applications and make comment. Bear Wallow Valley
and other NPDES permits in the French Broad River Basin are now up for renewal. I am sending
your letters to Dave Goodrich, supervisor of the Division of Water Quality's NPDES Permitting
Unit, with instructions that they be made part of the permitting file for Bear Wallow Valley and
be treated as a request for a public hearing.
You also asked to be informed of any problems relating to this particular plant. Of
particular concern has been a used backup generator that was not starting when the automatic
switch tripped. I am pleased to say that the situation has been corrected. Staff of the Asheville
Regional Office visited the facility today and report that a new generator has just been installed
and is operating well.
For more information please feel free to contact our Asheville Regional Office at (828)
251-6208. Our files, which contain compliance data, are also available to public view weekdays
during normal business hours at both the regional office and in the Raleigh central office. You
can contact the Raleigh office at [phone], ext. 225.
Thank you again for sharing your comments on these matters. - -

[Fwd: Bearwallow residents concerned about--tewater plant]
"We had a house full over the Fourth of July and most of
the holidays the grandkids are up there, hooting and
hollering in the creek," he said.
Eight years ago, Berry was among residents who fought
unsuccessfully to keep a mobile home park from installing
a package wastewater treatment plant. The plant was
designed to discharge up to 10,000 gallons of treated
wastewater per day into a tributary of Clear Creek about
1,000 feet upstream from the swimming hole.
The case led Bearwallow Valley residents to petition and
get zoning for their area prohibiting future mobile home
parks. But the Bearwallow Valley Mobile Home Park was
allowed as an existing use because developers had
already started work on it.
The state issued a wastewater permit in 1995 for the
plant after holding a public hearing. But the park and
wastewater plant sat dormant until earlier this year, when
several homes were moved in and the plant started
operating, Berry said.
That's when he discovered the permit for the plant had
expired on Dec. 31. State regulators had given the OK for
the plant to operate anyway.
"It is clear to me it's a violation of the North Carolina
statutes and the U.S. code to operate without a permit,"
he said in a telephone interview Thursday.
Berry has written to the N.C. Attorney General's Office as
well as the secretary of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources. His goal is to force the state to
hold a public hearing so citizens can express concerns
about the permit.
State officials confirmed the plant has been given
permission to operate on an expired permit.
"The permit expired, but when you are dealing with an
expired permit you continue to operate under the expired
permit until a new one is issued," said Ernie Seneca,
spokesman for the N.C. Division of Water Quality.
Seneca said he sent Berry a letter Thursday addressing
his concerns.
"Mr. Berry's letters have been forwarded to our permitting
unit and will be treated as a request for a public hearing,"
he said.
DWQ will hold a public hearing if they determine there is
"significant public interest," Seneca said. He gave no
timeline for when a decision might be made.
The agency is now in the process of renewing permits
throughout the French Broad River basin. But it faces a
backlog due in part to staff shortages and a turnover rate
of 30 percent in the permitting section.
"It's one of the biggest challenges we face," he said.
"People are overworked and we have a high volume of
turnover."
Asked if there was a deadline for how long a plant could
operate with an expired permit, Seneca said, "We try to
get these moved along as quickly as possible."
2 of 3 8/28/2000 10:53 AM

[Fwd: Bearwallow residents concerned about wastewater plant]
Nick Stephanou, one of the owners of the mobile home
park, applied to renew the permit on April 10. That's
within the 180-day window from expiration that the state
requires. State officials wrote Stephanou a month later
saying they had been held up because of a major project
in the Neuse River basin and staff shortages. Attempts to
contact Stephanou Friday weren't successful.
Jim Preston, whose home overlooks the mobile home
park, is among neighbors who want a public hearing.
Preston says the stream the plant discharges into, known
as Black Gum Creek, is only 3 or 4 feet across and too
small to handle the wastewater.
"I definitely want a public hearing, not that the state
going to do anything about it," he said.
Berry has several issues he hopes to raise in a public
hearing. He has suggested the plant install a sediment
pond to keep raw sewage from reaching the creek in the
event of malfunction. He also wants the state to consider
requiring the developers to spread effluent from the plant
on land as fertilizer instead of discharging it into the
creek.
"I would love to see it (the plant) removed, but I have
argued there were some better safeguards than what
they were presenting," he said.
Bearwallow Valley residents petitioned the state to attach
a "recreational" classification to Clear Creek. That
requires the plant to have a backup power supply to
protect people swimming or wading in the creek. Seneca
said staff from DWQ's Asheville office visited the site
Wednesday and found that the developers had installed a
new backup electric generator, solving a problem with the
former used generator.

Dear Mr. Stefanou:
In the cover letter to my March.29, 2000 inspection
report I observed that your new sewage treatment plant
serving Bear Wallow Valley was complete except.for
installation of an automatic switching device as a part of
the standby generator. You indicated during the inspection
that you might seek removal of the requirement for an
automatic switching device in your permit renewal request.
Your permit renewal request makes no mention of seeking
relief from the requirement to install an automatic switching
device. Accordingly you should proceed immediately to install
an automatic switching device on the standby generator.
On or before My 22, 2000 please inform me in writting
when you expect to complete installation of the automatic
switch. If you have need to discuss matters relating to
wastewater treatment please do not hesitate to call me at

Bear Wallow Valley MHP
Henderson County
NPDES Unit personnel received your permit renewal application on April 10, 2000. Thank you for submitting this
package. I'm sorry that I didn't respond to your request sooner. I (along with the other 9 members of our Unit) spent the
last eight weeks working on a large project in the Neuse River basin, a project that culminated in two public hearings last
week. This "maximum effort" was accomplished at the expense of all our other tasks - including the checking in of permit
renewals.
Please be aware that several residents near this facility have written the Division to express their opposition to
renewal of this permit. If you would like copies of this correspondence, please contact me at the address or telephone
number listed below.
The permit renewal for this facility will be assigned to a member of the NPDES Unit staff.' That staff member will
contact you if further information is needed to complete the permit renewal. The NPDES Unit has been working with at
least 3 (and as many as 5) vacant positions since October 1998. This staff shortage is delaying all of our permit renewals.
Our remaining permit writers are currently reviewing Authorizations to Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit
modifications and 201 plan updates ahead of permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety of factors, including
mandatory deadlines in the statutes that govern our program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NC0076082, the existing requirements in your permit will remain in effect
until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We appreciate your patience and understanding while we
operate with a severely depleted staff. If you have any additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit, please
contact me at [phone], extension 511.

To: Roy Davis <[e-mail]>
CC: Forrest Westall <[e-mail]>,
Dave Goodrich <[e-mail]>
On Friday, my voice mail box was invaded by aggrieved neighbors of the
subject facility. They all had variations on the same theme:
1. trailers "of poor quality" are going into the site
2. the permit has expired
3. they want a public hearing
4. why has no hearing been held
5. make him stop, etc.
I don't know anything about this site, other than the application for
renewal arrived very late. I can't currently (Saturday evening) access
SIPS to see what kind of compliance record this place has, if any.
Roy, can you talk to the residents listed below? I'm going to be out of
the office three days next week on site visits for the Neuse hearings.
I don't have any useful information for these people at this point.
Until the Neuse hearings are over (after May 4th) I'll have no time to
work on this.
The first person who called me about this is named Bill Berry - he
requested a hearing (verbally, not in writing) before the renewal
application ever got here. His number isu770 253-0517.. I expect he's
stirring up the rest of the residents, as they all called me directly
and spoke from essentially the same script. Berry called several weeks
ago to complain about the site. At that time, I told him that the
Director would consider his request (or anyone else's) for a Hearing. I
also explained that the Hearing (if scheduled) would take place after
the draft permit was Noticed, something he'd clearly forgotten judging
from the indignant tone of his voice -mail message.
I would GREATLY appreciate any help you can give with this problem. I
just can't get to it right now.
The other people who called me are:
Sharon White -- 828 685-8788
Jim Preston -- 828 685-7077

The following comments result from my March 29, 2000
inspection of the sewage treatment plant just constructed at
your Bear Wallow Valley Mobile Home Park. With the exception
of an automatic switching device on your standby generator,
the plant appears ready to receive sewage. The plant seems
to be well built. Kevin White should be able to do a fine
job of treating the sewage generated by your mobile home

OCT 1994
Re: Renewal of NPDES Permit No. NC0076082
Bear Wallow Valley Mobile Home Park
Proposed Wastewater Treatment Facility
Henderson County
I served as meeting officer for a public meeting held to receive public
comments pertinent to the reissuance of the subject NPDES permit. This permit
was originally issued to Nick Stefanou, owner, Bear Wallow Valley Mobile Home
Park in 1989 for 12,000 gallons per day effluent flow. During the public notice period
in 1989, no comments were received. The Bear Wallow Valley Mobile Home Park
permit became effective May 18, 1989. An Authorization to Construct permit for
Bear Wallow Valley MHP WWTP was issued by the Division for a flow of 10,000
gallons per day December 20, 1993. During the Authorization to Construct review
several comments were received objecting to.the permit. In December 1993 the
owner submitted an application for renewal of the NPDES permit for Bear Wallow.
Based on regional office comments and agreement with the owner, the
permitted flow for the renewal was reduced from 12,000 gpd to 10,000 gpd to
correspond with the Authorization to Construct. The current permit allows
discharge of treated domestic wastewater into an unnamed tributary to Clear Creek
which is classified as class C-Trout waters French Broad r Basin) and
which has a 7Q10 flow of 0.13 cfs. The I IC of the proposed discharge is
approximately 12%. A reclassification of Clear Creek from C-Trout to B-Trout HQW
was requested by a nearby property owner in 1993. In June 1993, a macroinvertebrate
study was conducted along Clear Creek which indicated that a reclassification to
HQW was not supported by the water quality data. The B-Trout classification is still
under consideration, but would not affect the current discharge permit limits.
During the survey conducted in 1993 for the proposed HQW reclassification
survey, instream stress was indicated by the macroinvertebrate data collected
throughout most of the area surveyed within the Clear Creek catchment: The
major cause of the stress was attributed to apparent instream toxicity, purportedly

due to pesticide runoff from the apple orchards that cover most of the catchment
area. Subsequent sampling by Regional Office staff of sediment and water in the
Clear Creek catchment have confirmed that pesticide residues are present, but no
specific standards are being violated. Regional Office staff have requested that these
data be evaluated by Division of Environmental Health personnel relative to the
ongoing consideration of the proposed 'B' classification for Clear Creek. Water
Quality Section staff presently are following through on that request. Water
chemistry data collected on more conventional parameters such as dissolved
oxygen, nutrients, ammonia and others indicate that no other water quality
standards are being violated and, in my opinion, the ongoing question regarding the
source(s) of nonpoint source pollution impacts in the catchment areas are not
relevant to the reissuance of the subject permit.
Summary:
The subject facility is permitted to include an influent lift station, dual 5000
gallon aeration tanks, dual 5650 gallon clarifiers, a 1000 gallon chlorine tank with
tablet chlorination and dechlorination, a 2062 gallon sludge holding tank, and an
effluent weir. The wasteload allocation developed for the discharge contains the
following effluent limitations: .

The public meeting was held at Apple Valley Middle School, NC 5R1574, near
Hendersonville, at 7:00 PM on July 14, 1994. Forty-four people attended the public
meeting, not including staff. Staff in attendance included Forrest Westall, Coleen
Sullins, Dave Goodrich and Susan Wilson. Fifteen people spoke; all speakers were
opposed to the project.
Issues raised during the public meeting included:
- concerns regarding adequate public notice. Summer residents were
concerned that they did not receive individual notices at their
permanent, out-of-state residences. All proper and judicious notice
procedures were followed and this was- explained at the meeting.
- concerns regarding swimming in Clear Creek. A limitation of 200/100
ml for fecal .coliform bacteria has been included in the permit to protect
human health for whole body contact (swimming uses) in the
receiving waters. I recommend that a back-up power supply be

required for this facility to provide added assurance that swimming
uses will be protected, especially in light of the ongoing consideration
of the proposed 'B' classification and testimony given at the meeting
that swimming is an existing use in downstream waters.
- concerns regarding the fact that streams in the Clear Creek catchment
are already "stressed". As described previously, the. "stress" the streams
in this area are experiencing presently. is due to nonpoint sources and is
unrelated to potential impacts from the proposed discharge. In fact, the
development of the mobile home park has reduced, acreage in the
catchment area that is dedicated to apple orchards and should reduce
the potential risk of pesticide contamination of these waters.
Investigation of the nonpoint source impacts is ongoing.
- concerns regarding potential contaminants from the proposed
discharge, such as nutrients and BOD., As described previously, the
proposed discharge has been limited to protect aquatic life and human
health and all reasonable use of the receiving and downstream waters
as "fishable/swimmable" waters, with the exception (as noted above)
that reliability requirements should be added to the permit.
- concerns regarding low flow of the receiving stream. The IWC of the
proposed discharge is approximately 12% at the 7Q10 flow. Permit
limitations are designed to protect water quality standards and uses at
this critical low flow.
- concerns regarding the development of a mobile home park in the
catchment area and its perceived negative impacts on the
neighborhood. This was the primary, and most frequently raised,
concern of those speaking at the public meeting. This is a land
use/zoning issue and is not related to the issuance of the NPDES
permit. Those in attendance indicated that they understood that this
was a local.zoning issue following discussion of this concern with staff
at the meeting.
Recommendation:
Based upon a review of the staff report, wasteload allocation, field inspection,
discussions with Central and Regional Office, and consideration of the comments
presented at the public meeting, it is the meeting officer's recommendation that
NPDES Permit No. NC0076082 be issued in accordance with the condition that the
treatment plant reliability should be that required for Class :'B-trout" waters.

UT to Clear Creek (B-Tr), French Broad River Basin
Henderson County
As you requested, I served as Hearing Officer for a public hearing in Edneyville on
Thursday evening, January 18, 2001. The hearing was held at the request of adjoining
property owners who voiced concern over the reissuance of the Bearwallow Valley
mobile home park NPDES wastewater discharge permit (NC0076082).
Based on the history of the permit, review of the monitoring data, site visit, the public
hearing proceedings, and discussions with the owner (Mr. Nicholas Stefanou), the
wastewater treatment plant operator, Asheville Regional and Central Office staff; I offer
the following recommendation:
1) reissue NPDES Permit No. NCO076082 for Bearwallow Valley mobile home
park;
2) require residual chlorine monitoring 3 days per week during the summer
recreational season (May 1't through September 301n);
3) require noise reduction [i.e., blower motor muffler(s) and/or sufficient
enclosure]; and,
4) establish DWQ enforcement procedure for delinquent permit renewals.
Additional details on the above recommendation are on page 6.
HISTORY/BACKGROUND
Bearwallow Valley mobile home park is located in Edneyville (Henderson County). The
area is rural and characterized by numerous apple orchards. An NPDES wastewater
discharge permit was first issued in 1989. The facility was permitted initially for 12,000
gallons per day (gpd) to an unnamed tributary to Clear Creek (French Broad River
Basin). The tributary carries a C-Trout classification since it is an unnamed tributary to a

stream (Clear Creek) classified as C-Trout [15A NCAC 2B .0304(i)(1) — Unnamed
Stream]. Forty-five mobile homes were expected to use the wastewater treatment facility.
The permit was renewed in 1994 with revised limits following a July 1994 public hearing
on the permit. The new limits were based on the treated wastewater being discharged to
Class B waters (primary recreational use). This was the result of public hearing
comments indicating recreational use of the waters. Clear Creek was subsequently
reclassified as B-Trout effective August 1, 1998. The permit was also revised, reducing
the allowable discharge to 10,000 gpd. A copy of the existing permit and a site map are
on pages 8 and 9 of the attached Appendix.
The owner, Mr. Nicholas Stefanou, was provided the Division's standard 240-day notice
to renew the NPDES permit. However, the renewal application and payment were not
received by DWQ and the permit expired on December 31, 1999. Subsequent notices to
renew the NPDES permit were sent to the owner. Meanwhile, the permitee was allowed
to retain the permit under the Division's administrative authority and the facility began
operation May 2000. Renewal and payment receipt have since been received. As of
January 18, 2001, when DWQ staff visited the site, there were 13 mobile homes at the
park discharging to the wastewater treatment facility. The average discharge is currently
800 —1000 gpd. Monitoring data to date indicate that the facility is consistently
complying with its effluent limits.
PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS & SITE VISIT
The January 18`h public hearing was held at the request of individuals who have
residences near the Bearwallow Valley mobile home park. Their requests are on pages 10
and 11 in the Appendix. An announcement (page 12) of the hearing was published in the
local paper as well as sent to local and state officials, and those expressing an interest in
the issue.
Twenty-four people attended the public hearing including seven DWQ staff and the
hearing officer. The registration list of the public hearing participants starts on page 15.
The participants represented adjacent homeowners, the mobile home park's owners, and
a couple of developers and members of two environmental organizations. One of the
public hearing petitioners, Mr. William Berry, Jr., was unable to attend, but he submitted
written comments (page 37 in the Appendix). Three people: Mr. Marvin Ward
(homeowner), Ms. Hope Taylor (Executive Director of the Clean Water Fund of North
Carolina), Ms. Mary Jo Padgett (Environmental Conservation Organization), registered to
speak and a fourth from the audience, Mr. Jeff Cannon (homeowner), later chose to
provide verbal comments.
The verbal and written comments during and prior to the public hearing are summarized
below. More detailed responses to the following concerns may be found in Ms. Natalie
Sierra's public hearing presentation starting on page 18 of the Appendix.
• Area around wastewater treatment plant has flooded;
Response: wastewater treatment plant is in a low-lying area, however, it was
constructed on an elevated mound (picture follows).
2

• Septic hauler was previously at site — why?;
Response: the septic tank pumping truck recently observed at Bearwallow was
delivering activated sludge from another treatment plant in order to place the
second half of the Bearwallow WWTP in operation.
• Concerned with affect on recreational use of waters downstream of discharge;
permit limits are not protective of stream;
Response: Clear Creek and the unnamed tributary, which receives the treated
effluent, carry a `B" classification. This classification is applied to waters used for
primary recreational purposes. The NPDES permit limits for Bearwallow Valley
MHP reflects the `B" classification which requires backup/emergency power for
the facility in case of power failure to prevent untreated wastewater from entering
the stream. A new backup generator was installed on the premises in August
2000.
• Monitoring is not sufficient;
Response: Currently the NPDES permit requires a weekly grab sample for fecal
coliform, which is used as an indicator of contamination. Total residual chlorine is
sampled twice per week. I am recommending that total residual chlorine sampling
be increased to three times per week during the typical swimming season. One
sample is to be indicative of weekend conditions. Total residual chlorine is a good
indicator fecal coliform control. It is also cheaper than fecal coliform analyses,
can be performed onsite which means a faster assessment of effluent conditions
and avoids the problem of sending the fecal coliform samples to a lab on a
weekend when labs are typically closed. Standard Methods and Certification
requires fecal coliform analyses be performed within 6 hours of collecting the
sample.
• Unnamed tributary is small (presumably too small for a wastewater discharge);
Response: The unnamed tributary to Clear Creek is small but instream flow
exceeds the State's minimum criteria of 7Q10 = 0. The effluent limits for the
wastewater treatment plant are applied based on the most conservative flow
characteristics of the receiving stream to help safeguard it.
• Private sampling has been conducted on stream (Clear Creek downstream of
discharge to UT) for last five years, but has not shown water quality violations
although sampling does not include fecal coliform or biological analyses;
Response: We very much appreciate the interest and dedication of local citizens
in the quality of our surface waters. This involvement helps to identify problems
and find solutions to these problems. We are glad to hear that the sampling,
although not comprehensive, does not indicate water quality problems.
• Should require alternatives to discharge such as septic tanks, land applications
and inclusion of a polishing pond; Concerned in general with failure of package
treatment plants;
Response: DWQ prefers regional wastewater treatment systems but if
connections to such a system are not available, then well run "package" treatment
systems are accepted. Monitoring data for this system to date indicates it is being
well run. The permit states that when alternatives become available "the removal
of this discharge may be necessary." At this time there are no acceptable
alternatives.

• Concerned with enforcement and lack of staff to enforce water quality
standards;
Response: No doubt, DWQ is short staffed and could use more personnel.
• Permit should not be reissued;
Response: We do not have basis for denying renewal of the NPDES permit.
• Classification of stream should be Class B and not Class C;
Response: Clear Creek was reclassified as Class B as of August 1, 1998;
• Operational noise from wastewater treatment plant is too loud; and,
Response: Sound abatement is a part of the recommended permit renewal. I
understand the owner has already taken steps to reduce noise due to the operation
of the wastewater treatment plant and will consider other measures if necessary.
• DWQ allowed wastewater discharge for a facility whose permit expired more
than a year previously.
Response: State guidelines allow an NPDES permit extension until a new permit
is issued. However, we are currently establishing a procedure to better track
enforce delinquent permits.
Copies of the written comments start on page 21 of the Appendix. The public hearing
record remained open until February 2, 2001. No written comments were received
following the public hearing.
Pictures of Bearwallow Valley mobile home park site visit (1/18/01)
I visited the Bearwallow Valley MHP the day of the public hearing, January 18th, along
with representatives from DWQ's Asheville Regional Office and the Central Office's
NPDES Unit. The MHP's owner, Mr. Nicholas Stefanou; the wastewater treatment plant
operator, Mr. Kevin White of DKK; and Mr. Charles Laughter who is affiliated with the
MHP, were also present for the site visit.
The following are pictures of the site visit.

RECOMMENDATION
As hearing officer for the January 18, 2001 public hearing proceedings for the reissuance
of NPDES permit number NCO076082 for the Bearwallow Valley Mobile Home Park's
wastewater discharge I recommend reissuing the permit with the following conditions:
1) Require residual chlorine monitoring 3 days per week during the summer
recreational season (May Vt through September 30th). One sample is to be
taken either Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. "Weekend" sample
shall be taken above the point of dechlorination.
Basis for recommendation:
• the receiving waters, UT to Clear Creek and Clear Creek, carry a
B Trout classification,
• the wastewater treatment plant's effluent limits reflect these
classifications,
• the wastewater discharge's monitoring data along with local
citizen's monitoring data do not indicate high fecal coliform levels,
• the waters are reported to be used for recreational purposes,
• additional concerns were heard regarding the safety of using the
waters for primary recreational use immediately downstream of the
wastewater discharge,
• monitoring for fecal coliform is made once per week on a
weekday however, primary recreational use is likely on weekends
as well,
• the current total residual chlorine sampling is twice per week on
weekdays and not as good an indicator of weekend conditions,
• residual chlorine sampling can be as effective an indicator, yet is
cheaper than fecal coliform monitoring, thus increase and
distribute residual chlorine monitoring to help assure the owner,
operator and recreational users that the waters are being protected
for recreational use and if an excursion occurs more timely
response may be made to address the problem.
2) Require noise reduction [i.e., blower motor muffler(s) and/or sufficient
enclosure].
Residents complained of noise from the wastewater treatment plant when
it is operating. DWQ staff visited the wastewater treatment plant on'a
couple of occasions, January 18th and then later that month, specifically to
gather additional information on noise levels.
The wastewater treatment plant sits in a small open valley that is
converting from apple orchard use. Sound does carry easily through the
small valley. While visiting the site on January 181h staff discussed with
the owner and operator ways to reduce noise. The noise seems to the result
of the blower motors operating. The owner expressed interest in reducing
noise and upon last communication had ordered a muffler for one of the
motors to test its effectiveness. He indicated a willingness to purchase

another muffler if the one was not effective and if necessary, he would
install a sound deadening enclosure for the blower motors.
3) Establish DWQ enforcement procedure for delinquent permit renewals.
In consulting with regional and central office staff I understand that a
policy to address delinquent permit renewal requests is being proposed. I
wholly concur and support establishment of penalties for permitees that
are delinquent in renewing their permits. I suggest that notification of
permitees of such a process begin as soon as possible in the 'renewal
notifications. I don't recommend fining Mr. Stefanou for his failure to
renew his NPDES permit for Bearwallow Valley MBP at this time,
however, such future delinquency should be subject to enforcement.

Dear Mr. Goodrich;
I am writing in regards to the re -issuing of Permit No. NC0076082wbich will allow Bearwallow Mobile
Home Park to discharge treated wastewater.
I share a common property line; a small waterway called Blackgunt Branch, with Bearwallow Mobile
Home Park This small Branch is being used to carry the treated wastewater to Clear Creek. Since no Flow
Rate has ever been established in this branch, I again, respectfully request that this be undertaken.
On December 31 a 1999 when this permit expired, no mobile homes were in place. Since that time eight
mobile homes have been set and the wastewater treatment plant started up.
My main concern is with the excessive noise being generated by this plant. This is a small Valley and
sound carries very easily. I have a 60 percent hearing loss in both ears, yet I find the incessant humming
from the air pump motors to be excessive.
If we must have this Plant, at the very least quite it down. Furthermore since the State is showing such
concern about the possible pollution of Clear Creek, I think your office would want to make this a model
for all future wastewater treatment plants.
I know you can follow the rules only as written. Please, I urge you, hold a public hearing regarding this
issue. Listen to the real concerns my neighbors will express. Then before you reissue this permit make
sure that this wastewater treatment plant will be the most quiet and cleanest in North Carolina.

Thursday, January 18, 2001, 7 p.m.
Good evening. Has everyone filled out a registration form? If not, please raise your hand
and you will receive a form.
This meeting will now come to order.
Thank you for taking the time to participate in this evening's meeting concerning the
proposed reissuance of the Bear Wallow Valley Mobile Home Park wastewater discharge
permit. My name is Steve Zoufaly. I am the Supervisor of the Division of Water
Quality's Local Government Assistance Unit in Raleigh. I have been appointed by the
Division's Director to serve as Hearing Officer for this meeting. Before proceeding, I
would like to recognize local and state dignitaries who are present here tonight:
There are also several employees from the Division of Water Quality here this evening to
assist you. Please raise your hand so the audience can identify you. They are also
wearing nametags and will be available after this meeting to answer your specific
questions related to the proposed permit reissuance.
The Division of Water Quality has called this public meeting under the authority of North
Carolina General Statutes. In accordance with the General Statutes, the Division
published a Public Notice in the Hendersonville Times -News describing the time and the
place for this meeting. Notices were also mailed to government officials, as well as other
persons having indicated interest in this evening's meeting.
The purpose of this meeting is to provide a public forum to obtain your comments on
water quality issues related to the proposed renewal of NPDES permit Number
NCO076082 for Bear Wallow Valley Mobile Home Park. In order to conduct this hearing
in a fair and orderly fashion, I will first ask a representative of the Division's Permitting
Unit to explain how the draft permit was prepared. I will then invite the permittee to
present, and finally, I will ask for public comments according to the sign-up sheet.
Anyone who wishes to speak will have an opportunity to do so. I request that everyone
observe the following rules of courtesy:
1. Please do not interrupt speakers or question speakers while they are
presenting. Should you chose to speak, you will be allowed equal time and
you will be extended the same courtesies. As Hearing Officer, I may
occasionally ask for clarification after a speaker has finished.
2. Please limit your comments to the proposed renewal of the permit.
17

I will now ask Ms. Natalie Sierra of the Division of Water Quality's Raleigh Central
Office to present an explanation of the permitting history/process of this permit.
{Natalie will give — 10 minute presentation as follows}
INTRODUCTION
Good evening. My name is Natalie Sierra and I am one of several environmental
engineers in the Raleigh Central Office responsible for writing discharge permits for
wastewater dischargers in North Carolina. Due to your response to the proposed issuance
of the NPDES permit for the Bear Wallow Valley Mobile Home Park, the Division of
Water Quality has decided to hold this public hearing, and I have been asked to give a
brief presentation here tonight.
My presentation will include a brief overview of North Carolina's NPDES permitting
program as well as related water quality issues, some of the concerns raised by
individuals prior to this hearing regarding Bear Wallow Valley Mobile Home Park's
treatment facility.
As with Bear Wallow Valley Mobile Home Park, all wastewater dischargers to surface
waters in the State of North Carolina must receive a permit to control water pollution.
The Clean Water Act of 1972 initiated the strict control of wastewater discharges with
responsibility of enforcement given to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The
EPA created the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (the NPDES program)
to track and control sources of pollution. The primary method of control is by issuing
permits to dischargers with limitations on wastewater flow and constituents. The EPA
delegated its permitting authority to the state of North Carolina in 1975.
North Carolina has established instream water quality standards in addition to federal
criteria to protect and preserve the surface waters throughout the state. The Division of
Water Quality does this through the issuance of NPDES permits to all discharges to
surface waters.
Bear Wallow Valley MHP requested the renewal of their existing NPDES permit in
March 2000, allowing them to discharge 10,000 gallons per day of treated domestic
wastewater. The permit was scheduled to have an effective date of January 1, 2001,
which some of you have noted is past the expiration date of the currently held NPDES
permit. Under the provisions of the North Carolina NPDES permit, a facility must
comply with the conditions of the most recently issued NPDES permit even if that permit
has expired until such time as a new one can be issued. Fortunately, these dischargers
must still comply with limitations on pollutants of concern.
Concerns of Public:
-Does this facility pose a threat to water quality in Clear Creek?
18

As permit writers, we assign each facility limits in accordance with both the type
of waste as well as the class of the receiving water. Permit limits are assigned based on
environmentally conservative assumptions sure that the water body will continue to be
protected in the presence of this wastewater discharge. [FOR EXAMPLE, PERMIT
LIMITS ARE USUALLY DETERMINED USING DROUGHT FLOW CONDITIONS,
SUCH THAT EVEN WITH EXTREMELY LOW FLOW, STREAM WATER
QUALITY WILL BE PROTECTED]. The aim is to safeguard a receiving stream against
water quality degradation and to maintain designated uses in that water for many
generations to come.
-How can we be sure that compliance problems will be effectively handled? Are
Division staff and resources adequate to handle any potential problems?
To ensure that a facility is operating properly, staff from the Asheville Regional
Office can perform a surprise inspection at any time. This ensures that the facility is
being adequately maintained and can also allow for a review of facility data. In addition,
the Division of Water Quality recently established a new enforcement policy in
recognition of some of the problems of the past. Formerly, facilities might get a notice of
violation (NOV) but never receive civil penalties for violating their permit limits unless it
was chronically non -compliant. Under the new policy, data from the facility is reviewed
monthly. When a facility violates their permit limits, they are assessed a civil penalty
relative to the number and severity of the violations. This places a financial penalty on
those who degrade the quality of the waters of our state.
-Why is a facility allowed to operate under an expired permit? Is anything
being done to remedy this situation?
As I explained previously, the extension of a permit until the issuance of a new
NPDES permit is permissible under our state guidelines. However, I would like to point
out that we have recently established a process that will remedy precisely the problem
that occurred here, that is, that a facility owner applied for a permit renewal after the
permit expiration date. We have recently improved upon our system for tracking and
enforcing on people who do not fulfill their obligation to apply for permit renewal. It is
our sincere hope that this, along with a stricter compliance policy, will ensure that all
dischargers in the state of North Carolina are meeting their obligation to protect and
preserve the waters of the state.
This concludes my presentation; I will now turn the hearing back over to Steve
Thank you, Natalie. At this time those who indicated on your registration form that you
would like to speak tonight will have an opportunity to provide comment. I will call on
registered speakers first. When they have finished, others in the audience wishing to
comment will be given the opportunity.
Due to the large number of people who expressed an interest in speaking here tonight, I
request that everyone please keep your comments to no more than three minutes so that
others may have time to comment as well this evening.
19

This meeting as a public forum to present pertinent information for the state to consider
before deciding whether to renew, modify or deny this permit. I realize that, for some
people here tonight, this may be an emotional issue. However, to allow time for
everyone wishing to speak, I recommend that remarks be kept concise, and related to the
Bear Wallow Valley facility.
As Hearing Officer I can only consider the specific information concerning the discharge
from this facility. The Director makes the final decision in this matter based on my
recommendation from the proceedings of this meeting, including your written comments.
Considering the interest in this permit expressed in writing, [or for other
reasons] I will hold the meeting record open for two weeks — until February 1st - to
provide for those who wish to submit additional written comments.
When I call out your name, please come to the podium, state your name and if you
represent an organization, please state the name of the organization. I appreciate your
cooperation in complying with these requests. Our first speaker is...
(At this point read aloud the name of the first registered speaker, etc., thanking
each speaker afterward.
After the last REGISTERED speaker has finished: J
Is there anyone else that would like to make a comment?
[Make sure they state their name.]
If no one else wishes to speak, I would like to thank all of you very much for your
attendance and comments. Your participation is important.
Based on the information received tonight, I will make a recommendation to the Director
of the Division of Water Quality for his consideration in making a final decision. The
Director may reissue, modify or deny this permit. As a reminder, this record will remain
open until February 1st. You may submit written comments to me prior to February Isr
This meeting is adjourned.

Dear Mr. Stevens:
The Permit referenced above expired on 12131199. In spite of that, according to
M`F, Roy Davis of the! Asheville Office, the owners of this property will be allowed
to develop and operate a mobile home park without a NPDES permit! Can that
be true? Do you not care to receive public input from those who could be most.
effected by the effluent produced by such a development?
I own the home abutting the subject mobile home property. I have not received
atV legal notices regarding this permit. My family and I use the creek in front of
our home for recreational purposes acid the mobile home effluent discharge: is less
titan one hundred yards away.
Please mail to me, at your earliest convenience, any legal advertisements regarding
this permit. I %vould. also like copies of waivers, oranges grxrrted, infzaetions,
maintenance requirements, system redundancy requirements,, mechanical problems,
failure to meet effluent requirements or any other problems with the permit in
question. Please serid these items to the address listed abovc.
Thank you.

Aornc Purls to discharge tr-cau d wastewater.
I stare a common property l6m; a small µ;,tamW culled Blacicgum Branch, with Bearoallow Mobile
Home Park. This mall 13mrich is bring used to carry the treated W"Iewater to Clime Cheek. Since no Flaw
Rate has unxT bu'x-rt established in this branch, I ;jgain, r%.-speclfully requC9t brat this be imdertokea,
On December 31" 1999 %vhcn this permit e,Ypiral, no rraLWIle homes werc in place;, Since that time eight
mobile homes ha►v bcera wt:and the %*astvorater trcata-cnt plant started up.
Mly malty emcern is with the Lxcessiive nois-, being generated by thisplant. This is a small Volley and
sound carries very etisiiy. I havo a 60 percent lte ring loss in both Cars, yet 1 find the incessant humming
Crum the aispump motors to by excessive.
if we must have this Plant, at the very Iced quite it down. furthermore since the State is daowing such
concern about the possible pollution ofClear Creek, I think your office would vrtnt to mare this a model
for all fixture wastewater Ireratment plants
I l.'now you can follow the miles only as Nw tten. Please I urger yat, hold a public hearing; rcWding this

As property owners most directly affected by the renewal of the above referenced hermit,
wo wish to have our conuneuts considered but will probably be unable to attend in person due to
schedule conflicts and travel distances. The ad-vertisoment which appeared in the I-lendorso twill+
Times=Nees on December 15, 2000, indicated, that comments could be: submitted in writing prior
to the meeting, but your miffing address was the only one included. Therefore, if we have directed.
this to the wrong office, we request that it be forwarded to the responsible person before January
18, 2001-
Tbe process is sornewhat confusing; since the Asheville office of the Divisions of Water
Quality effectively renewed the perniit. when thery placed the treatment plant in operation on May 1,
2000, according to representatives fronts that affrce. This rues accom ► w ou comp yutg -
wvith ticle 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of Nardi Carolina denying the public any

pue to than travel distance and previous comnutt=nts, some of the above will be; unable to personally
attend the public hearing. This should not dirititnish'the importance which they place on this infor atiom
At a public meetings held on July 14, 1994, a staternennt was presented in our behalf. In this
statement, numerous problems with the permit wm outlined. These were not uocducatcd and speculatile
probicras which were devised in an attempt to stop Vie issuance of the permit. These were problems pointed
out by trained operators and imtractors associated with waste water treatment plants, when given a
dmf ption of the circumstances surrounding this permit. ' !h rwoinrn& d�*ngec-tn a ii�vere�

` It was ire - d ate�y re ogniz t6rat a proximity of the discharge point to the rc ticnsa�ea

The pa rmit ivas reissued effective January 1, 1995, with an expiration date of December 31, 1999.
Whi!e, the cover letter states that rnaid"aficatiom were nuide: in regpainse: to the public hearing held on July 14,
1994, no explanation Was given for failing to follow the recommendations presented to provide for a hi&r

Theis permit expired an December 31,1999, but the plant has, reina ned in operation contrary to the
terms of the pcnniit as contained in Section B. General Condilians, paragraph 111. Over a. year after the date
of txpiratioin tbeNC Department of Waiter Quality has scheduled a public hearing to mriciv the prernait
The reason given for this extensive delay is a. lack of personnel to handle the processing of the renewal.
Qn September 29, 2000, The Environmental Protection Agency Office of Inspector General issued
an Audit Report of North Carolina NPD E$ Enforcement and EPA Region d OvePsight. According to this
audit theNG Diw,ision of Water Quality has:
* 17ailed,to review and report violations from daily or weekly discharge moaeitoring reports.
Failed to take, into account records of repeat polluters.

Clearly, the Division of Water Duality is using its limited personael resources to keep permits
active without regard to their effectivcne`ss. IfNPDES Perna t No. NCO076082 is reissued, the, admitted
steortnge in the Asheville Office, will prohibit proper monitoring, placing those using Clear Cr0ek for
recreational purposes at & ►t risk. Since tho audit discloses that the mandates of the DENR and Division
of Water (duality are not being followed, we, believe it would be criminal to reissue this hermit and request
that any further discharge allowed by this permit be denied.

BEFORE THE
SATE Orr' NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRc NNTENT, HEALTH AuD
NATURAL RESOURCES' DEVCSION OF EVVIRONMENTAL„ MANAGEMENT,
AT TFE PUBLIC KEE'TING HELM ON JULY 14, 19940.
CONCERNIUG HPOE'S PERMIT NO. 11C0076082
FOR THE DEAF4ihLLO'W MoarLE HOME PARX YN HENDERSON COUNTY
My name is Hill Gerry and although I reside in Georgia, I
have property at the end of Whitehead Road in Henderson County
with a rmalling address: of !route 2, Box 382., Hendersonville, tic
28792. This property was purchased by my Grandfather on ,August.
27, 1925, and there are currently six vacation homes In this area
owned by any family and other famllies; Currently, plans are being
developed to expand two of the existing cabins and add three
more. This section of Clear Creek, with Its close proximity to
the headwaters, is the primary reason this PZOPsrty was purchased
and it plaits a key role in the recreational activity of all those
who enjoy their summers at these cabins. The approval of this
permit would preclude the use of this asset by causing harmful
degradation to the quality of the water In this creek.
In my correspondence with State offices I :have been told
that the effluent limits established by the Department of
Environment,, Health and Hatural Resources are designed to protect
the stream and its downstream usage. After I lnEormed DERNR of
the recreational use approximately 100 feet and 700 feet
downstream of the wastewater entry point Into Clear Creek and my
request fot a change In classification to Class 8, I was told
that the fecal coliform limit would be modified to 200
col'onies/160 ml. The draft permit reflects this limit asa
monthly average with a daily maximum, of 400 colonl.aslloo 1.
However, DEHNR staff have also recognized that they are dependent
upon monitoring by a certifled operator and by routine
inspections by Division staff to maintain compliance with the
effluent limitations. They also understand that ". . despite all
safeguards this doesnot guarantee that failures will not occur."
So —In lavestments, among others, was fined for d,ischarg nq too
much residue (oxygen demanding materials) and fecal coliform into
Mud Greek and exceeding the chlorine limits From the Huddle House
wastewater system in Naples, KC. The residue can cloud the wafter,
choking animal and plant liEe. In the subject permit, the
monitoring for Fecal Coliform, Biochemical oxygen Demand and
Total Suspended solids are required only once each week..
Mathematically, using 52 samples a year, there is only a 53%
priobabili.ty that they will re€Lect the condition. of the total
output, with a 5� margin for error. It will. take 271 samples a
year to raise that probability to 90%. in the opLnlon of many,
including the General Accounting Office In Its study of NFDES
facilities, it is inconsistent that such infrequent testing is
sufficient to assure the degree of accuracy which would, guarantee
the protection Levels fear the public at large which it proposers.
My request for other safeguards, such as the requirement fox a
more nodern steel plant to provide inczeased mechanical
37

rellabillty and a cleansing pond to trap theslugs of sludge,
carrying sludge worms, bacteria and parasites, Eiowinq with the
effluent during equipment malfunctions, have not been included as
part of the perwi t. In a report by the Clean water Fund of North
Carolina, which also opposes this permit, slugs from, the larger
Hickory plant contained a single day Fecal coliform count of
880,000 colonles /100m1. The thirteen plants discharging waste
water into the South Fork Catawba River have numerous other
violations of their iIPDEs permit documented in this report. i
have also pointed out that land use application, strongly
recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency, would serve
In lieu of the mechanical system proposed and iprovide the needed
protection for Clear Creek and those who use it for recreation,
but this has also been rejected.
Since first learning of the proposed discharge into clear
Creek, I have been monitoring the fecal coliform content where
recreational activities take place. After five samples over an 18
month period, the average is 96 colonies/100ml, which is about
half the monthly average which will be authorized for this plant.
In addition to the increazed fecal coliform content, the added
nutrients will cause algae bloom, clouding the water and creating
a gelatinous growth on the rocks and banks of the creek. However,
our greatest concern is the inability to predict failures, human
and mechanical, which will cause undesirable elements In the
effluent. With the current threat of AIDS, rapidly spreading
antibiotic resistant bacteria, and other new diseases, prudence
will dictate that recreational activity be restricted in Clear
Creek in such close proximity to the discharge point where
concentrations are likely since mixing with creek water will be
minimal. En the public notice of intent, it Is recognized that
this authorization is marginal since the available load capacity
of the receiving stream will be consumed by some discharge
parameters. Those familiar with the stream contend that it has
Insufficient flow, particularly when water Is removed upstream
for apple spraying, irxiga.tion and during dry weather.
Downstream, gardens are irrigated from Clear Creek. During
malfunctions, bacteria and parasites could cause giardiasis,
typhoid, salmonella, travellers diarrhea and other diseases
resulting from the consumption of uncooked or unpeeled vegetables
and fruits grown there. I intend to continue monitoring the water
of Clear Creek. if there is any evidence of further degradation
of conditions there will be no hesitancy in initiating action
using the: provisions of Section 505 of the Clean Water Act.
This permit does not satisfy a critical public need since
there is no evident demand for a mobile home park in this rural
and agricultural valley. Other uses for the land are available
and offers to purchase the property have been declined. The
adverse impact of high density housing on the environment can be
greatly ,seduced by requiring that this tyke of developn►ent be
located where the infrastructure is already in place, providing
streets, traffic control, sewerage treatment, water systeans and
other amenities associated with an established community.

Western North Carolina has long benefitted from the suITLIer
visitors who reside in other States: I have expressed my concern
that. the State procedure for notifying affected parties of NPDES
Permits complies with the letter of the law but not the intent
since many do not subscribe to the appropriate newspaper except
during the summer months. No action relative to this permit had
been taken by the appl-icant on the date the adverti-sement for
renewal appeared bn the newspaper. Now there is an opportunity
fox opponents to be heard and dellberations concerning renewal
should be the same as that fox the original issuance.
Thank you for your time and.attentiono

Sept.. 2000 audit of the Division, regional regulators have typically not even
looked at weekly data or assessed penalties based on wLckly reports, and there
are no weekly litnits given in the permit, a veritable set up .for failure to
protectivoly regulate. The fact that the operation been before public comment
had been accepted and a permit granted only deepens our sense of the Division
protecting its "clients' at the expense of the. public.
We call on the Division to deny this permit until a further level of protection can
be oticred for Clear Creek water quality as well as downstream users of this
faoility, such as additional secondary holding capacity and/or land application
