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

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Aqua North Carolina (the permittee) has requested renewal of the subject permit. There have
been no changes to the permit and/or the WWTP since the permit was last renewed nor are any
proposed at this time.
The Windemere development currently consists of a mixture of condominium and single family
units located on the shores of Lake Norman. This development has not built -out as quickly as
originally thought, which has resulted in the existing WWTP averaging less than half of it's daily
design capacity. Additional residential construction (outside of the Windemere development) has
generated some additional flow, however, the WWTP is nowhere near design capacity.
Pending receipt and approval of the draft permit, and concurrence by the Division of
Environmental Health, it,is recommended that the NPDE•SS Permit be reissued.

Subject: NPDES Permit NCO080691
Wimdemere Subdivision WWTP
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Myers:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NCO080691 was issued on May 11, 2005
for the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose
of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and the liabilities in the event of
failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it
is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular importance is Page 4.
Page 4 sets forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your discharge.
Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types and sampling
locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on reporting forms furnished or approved by
this Agency. For new permits/facilities, the Division may supply an initial small stock of these
forms; however, if you fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as possible.
The forms, including directions for their completion, and other important information are also
available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.html. It is imperative that all applicable
parts be completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual fee may be required for your facility; if so, you will
receive a statement from our Raleigh Office. It is imperative that the fee be paid in a timely
manner so as to prevent enforcement action or possible revocation of your permit.
The remaining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and special
coriclitions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s). The

conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses.
treatment unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater
treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in
operation of wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or
discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or
approved by this Agency.
To maintain compliance with discharge limitations, proper operation and maintenance of
a ,\,astewater treatment facility and the development of a process control program are essential.
For those facilities having chlorine tablet disinfection, please be advised that chlorine tablets
approved for wastewater treatment use must be used; swimming pool tablets are not approved.
Also, be advised that DWQ staff need to have access to the facility's discharge point into the
receiving stream; please maintain a path along the outfall line to facilitate that access.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the
Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General
Statutes. A civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties) may be
assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that you are unable to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit, you should contact this Office immediately. A Special Order by
Consent (SOC) may be necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period. Permits are
not automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180
days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit. This date is set
forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not automatically transferable.
If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that the Division of
Water Quality rescind the Permit or request that DWQ reissue the Permit to another party, if
necessary.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of
your NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in
Mooresville if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing any
assistance.

Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO080691
Windemere Subdivision WWTP
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Myers:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North
Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
This final permit includes no major changes from the draft permit sent to you on March 10,
2005. This permit does include spill notification requirements and daily monitoring for fecal coliform. We
received and reviewed your letter dated March 31, 2005 regarding the draft permits. However, the addition of
the daily fecal coliform monitoring is the result of a policy decision, and is applied to all package plant discharges
to class B waters of Lake Norman upon permit renewal; therefore, this requirement can not be changed at this
time. After the collection of data over a period of at least two summers, you may submit the findings and
request a reevaluation of the daily fecal coliform monitoring requirement.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days
following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final
and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may
require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal
requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits
required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local
governmental permit that may be required. If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact
Karen Rust at telephone number [phone], extension 361.

Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which
is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar 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 March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite_ Sagm-p-k
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

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.
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).
DWO or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
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.
Instantaneous flow measurement

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Heater Utilities requests renewal of the subject permit. There have been no changes to the
permit and/or the WWTP since the permit was last renewed nor are any proposed at this time.
The Windemere development currently consists of a mixture of condominium and single
family units located on the shores of Lake Norman. For whatever reason, this development has not
built -out as quickly as originally thought, which has resulted in the existing WWTP averaging less
than half of it's daily design capacity. Additional residential construction (outside of the
Windemere development) has generated some additional flow, however, the WWTP is nowhere
near design capacity.
In light of the litigation about the Highway 150 WWTP (NC0074900), effluent limitations
for this discharge into Lake Norman should be based on "modeling" rather than BPJ.
Pending receipt and approval of the draft permit, and concurrence by the Division of
Environmental Health, it is recommended that the NPDES Permit be reissued.

Dear Mr. Tweed:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NCO080691 was issued on July 24,
2000 for the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State from your facility.
The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and the liabilities
in the event of failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have
not already done so, it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular
importance are Pages 4 and 5 .
Pages 4 and 5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your
discharge. Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section
headed "Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types
and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or operation), you must
initiate the required monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on reporting forms
furnished or approved by this Agency. If you have not received these forms, they should
be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as
possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting form (DEM Form MR-1),
plus instructions for completing the form. It is imperative that all applicable parts be
completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee may
be required for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our Raleigh
Office. It is imperative that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent enforcement
action or possible revocation of your permit.
The remaining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and special
conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s).
The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance,
bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a
certified wastewater treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater treatment

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

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

Part II
Page 2 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples
collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This
limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the -samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily
Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples
collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the
geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is
identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of
dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a
calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is
considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily
average" in the text of Part I.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March,
April through June, July through September, and October through December.

Part Il
Page 3 of 14
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged
monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the
calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when
both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs
continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for
infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge
and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow
recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at
no greater than 1 /24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of
greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals
evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time
of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent
grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a
24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual
values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the
individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is
equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values.
For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one
(1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration
times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.

Part II
Page 4 of 14
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day.
However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents
the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section
311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.

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

Part II
Page 9 of 14
5. JZpsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the
reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent
caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment
facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such
technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part I1, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part 11, B. 2. of this
permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has
the burden of proof.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of
wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such
as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable
waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations
governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued
by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and
modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The
permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of
Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit
is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing
Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices.
7. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation,
Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the
discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by
means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent.

The subject permit expires on June 30, 2000. North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)
requires that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than
January 2, 2000. Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date will result in a civil assessment of at least
$250.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after June 30. 2000 (or if continuation of the permit is desired), the
current permit must be renewed. Operation of wastewater treatment works or continuation of discharge after
June 30, 2000 would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of civil
penalties of up to $25.000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Robert
Farmer of the Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone]. extension 531. You may also contact

a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled
and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during
such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days
the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average"
in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found
each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month
on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of
the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count
for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
"Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount
of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged
over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the
sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is
identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.

Part II

611_ - u-. s
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded
during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling,
when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the
sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by
use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment
system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of
flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time
of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time
intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the
detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval
between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less
than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
• • • • 813 .1
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of
the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric
mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual
values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).

Part II
Page 4 of 14
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
fflx�� M.
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably
represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.

This permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated for cause. The filing of a
request by the permittee for a permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination,
or a notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any permit
condition.
The issuance of this permit does not prohibit the permit issuing authority from reopening and
modifying the permit, revoking and reissuing the permit, or terminating the permit as allowed
by the laws, rules, and regulations contained in Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts
122 and 123; Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H .0100; and
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 et. al.
All previous National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permits issued to this facility,
whether for operation or discharge, are hereby revoked by issuance of this permit. [The
exclusive authority to operate this facility arises under this permit. The authority to operate the
facility under previously issued permits bearing this number is no longer effective. ] The
conditions, requirements, terms, and provisions of this permit authorizing discharge under the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System govern discharges from this facility.

The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of
treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to
achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also
includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This
provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are
installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the
conditions of the permit.
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
condition of this permit.
--FA 7= • ai . .
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or
operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to
the treatment facilities which cauAes them to become inoperable, or substantial and
permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the
absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by
delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to
be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;
including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part H, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action
against a permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(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

Part II
Page 9 of 14
periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup
equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering
judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment
downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. GIs
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors
beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance
to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities,
inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper
operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination rliade during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this
permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this
permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset
has the burden of proof.
,TI .
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

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended. 33
t;SC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Dav Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled
and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during
such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days
the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
pernvt.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average"
in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
vear. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found
each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month
on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of
the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count
for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
"Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d . The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount
of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged
over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the
sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is
identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.

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

Part II
Page 4 of 14
Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
10. Calendar Dav
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably
represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is an), pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.

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

Part II
Page 9 of 14
periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup
equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering
judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment
downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph C. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors
beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance
to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities,
inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper
operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through proper]}' signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this
permit.
(4) The pen-nittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this
permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset
has the burden of proof.
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 Staw
or navigable waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal

Part II
Page 10 of 14
regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503,
any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be
reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40
CFR Part 503. The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the
Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the
regulation, even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee.
shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal
practices.
7. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM
Regulation, Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability,
to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power
failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of
inadequately treated effluent.

1. Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the
volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily
shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period
which the sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in
this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other
wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without
notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority.
2. Reporting
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month
and reported on a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (DEM No. MR 1,1.1, 2,
3) or alternative forms approved by the Director, DEM, postmarked no later than the 30th day
following the completed reporting period.
The first DINIR 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.

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
MEFOM, M COT no -TAM
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health
and Natural Resources.
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended,
33 USC 1251, et. seq.
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily
discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found
by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this
sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as
"Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged
during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight
of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is
identified as 'Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.

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

Part II
Page 3 of 14
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a
calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I
of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.
R1_ u-e. ..VIl-I
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows
recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of
sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility
which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the
facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when
there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the
time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing
the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be
determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval
between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily
flow at the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional
to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be
no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall
be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a
detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be
collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in
number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in
no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6)
hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually.
' .•• • 85M,
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.

Part 11
Page 4 of 14
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the
product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values.
The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms
of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of
zero (0) shall be considered to be one 0).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective
flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that
reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.

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

Part II
Page 9 of 14
(b) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal
periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate
backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable
engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal
periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(c) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering
its adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the
three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and
temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of
factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include
noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment
facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or
improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for
noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the
requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during
administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an
action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs,, or other relevant evidence
that:
(a) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(b) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(c) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of
this permit.
(d) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of
this permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an
upset has the burden of proof.

Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or
control of wastewaters shall be 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 disposal of sludge
may be reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable
requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part
503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the
time provided in the regulation, even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the
requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant
change in its sludge use or disposal practices.

PART III - EVALUATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant proposes to construct a WWT facility to serve
a proposed residential development known as Windemere, in
addition to treating the wastewater from an existing condominium
development known as Cats Paw. The NPDES Permit was issued
listing "a proposed development off NCSR 1328" as the name of the
subject project, which is not accurate. The majority of the
development will be called "Windemere" with the existing Cats Paw
development comprising only a small percentage of the total flow.
It is recommended that the cover page of the subject Permit be
revised to reflect "Windemere" as the correct name of the
development.
Currently, the Cats Paw condominium wastewater is being
treated by a subsurface WWT system originally permitted by the
Division, and now regulated under the jurisdiction of the local
Health Department. The applicant's engineer also indicates that
the Permit has been reissued to Mid South Water Systems, Inc.
from the original permittee: Turnpike Properties, Inc. This
Office has no record of any ownership change for this Permit.
Pending a technical review and approval by the SERG, it
recommended that the ATC be issued.

Engineer/Designer
Enclosed are three sets of engineering plans and specifications for the construction
of a 90,000 gpd extended aeration wastewater treatment plant. This plant will
receive domestic waste from the Windemere subdivision (WQ-0006838) and the
existing Cats Paw condominium complex which is now being served by a ground
absorption system. The ground absorption system, which has indications of failing,
will be abandoned.
Also included with these plans and specifications is your checklist indicating design
considerations as required to meet the discharge limits. Construction of this plant is
to begin promptly upon the receipt of the authorization to construct. If you have any
questions or comments, please contact us immediately.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Windemere development currently consists of a mixti:re of
condominium and single family units located on the shores of rake
Norman The present met -hod of wastewater '-lispo—sal is by a cer.tic
twink/r•,i tri fic?ti on f i el r7 whi ch i c at oAn achy and ^a.nnnt acceT;t an%T
r1,71tinnal flo4? An expansion wi of indemere is-nderway and once +1
additional wastewater is being generated, all wastewater from the
development will be diverted to the extended aeration WWTP.
The WWTP is not being operated at the present time although
all of the treatment facilities are on -site and appear to be
functional, if needed.
Pending receipt and approval of the WLA and concurrence by the
Division of Environmental Health, it is recommended that the NPDES

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Heronwood development currently consists of a mixture of
condominium and single family units located on the shore of Lake
Norman. The owners of the Heronwood development are proposing to
expand the existing project by the addition of approximately 170
single family lots. The current method of wastewater disposal is by
a septic tank/nitrification field which has no additional capacity
available. All wastewater will be domestic in nature.
The applicant has investigated other nondischarge
alternatives, however, none appear feasible at this time. The
nearest municipal sewer collection system (Town of Troutman) does
not have capacity available to accept the wastewater. Topography
and poor soils prevents futher on -site treatment. Some interest has
been shown in combining the discharge from this facility and
NC0078603 (Lake Norman Ltd. Partnership) located upstream. Timing
may limit this possibility in that neither development may be able
to coordinate construction schedules. This would be the preferred
choice of this Office should the developers be able to work out
the scheduling.
Although a WLA has not as yet been received for this project,
this Office recommends that BPJ limits (BOD5-15, NH3 as N-4) be
applied. This should minimize public concern because of the
recreational (bodily contact) and water supply uses of the
receiving waters. The proposed treatment facilities should be
capable of complying with above limitations.

Page Four
Iredell County has expressed some concern regarding this
project in that the proposed site is not zoned for the construction
of a wastewater treatment facility. Until this matter is resolved
between the developer and Iredell County, comments opposing this
project may be received from the County.
The proposed facility is expected to be built in phases with
the initial phase expected to be 0.030 MGD. It is recommended that
the Permit contain effluent limit pages for 0.030, 0.060 and 0.090
MGD which will correspond to the initial design flow and future
expansions.
Pending receipt and approval of the WLA and concurrence by the
Division of Health Services, it is recommended that an NPDES Permit
be issued.

Dear Mr. Overcash : PEPA;!Tq & ENC-iNEER04G
Attached is Short Form D along with a check in the amoint of $400 permit
fee for a 90,000 GPD discharge from a WWTP.
ti.
NARRATIVE: An extended aeration system is proposed. The treatment
plant is intended to support a 170 lot subdivision, being developed by
Turnpike Properties, Inc., and have adequate reserve to treat domestic
waste from an adjacent condominium development presently being served by
ground absorption. The point of discharge of treated effluent is
proposed to be in the main channel of the Catawba River (Lake Norman).
(See Exhibit F).
To be in compliance with Section 29.GS.143-215.1, all sources of
discharge within the system will include water conservation fixtures and
all residents shall be made aware of conservative water usage habits.
Attached are "Local Government Review Requirements for the Issuance of
New Nonmunicipal Domestic Wastewater With Discharge Permits" signed by
County Manager Mashburn and Troutman Mayor Powell. (Exhibits A-1 and B-
J'` yVgft response from County Manager Mashburn (Exhibit A-2) relevant
to zoning. This issue is to be addressed at the time the Authorization
to Construct is prepared and the plant site plan has been de*NWMFA„
Refer to "Guideline for Evaluation of Wastewater Disposal Alternatives".

B. Proposed WWTP will be constructed to accept a total flow of
90,000 GPD. The system will be a pre-engineered extended
aeration package plant and consisting of equalization/surge
tank, aeration tank, clarifier, tertiary treatment, chlorine
contact chamber, dechlorination chamber and effluent discharge
line.
The plant will be supplied by a gravity collection system,
pump stations and force mains as may be required.
A portion of the development is located on an island in Lake
Norman. Waste from this area will be pumped eastward across
the proposed access bridge to the island via force main to the
treatment plant.
Treated effluent will be pumped via force main from the plant
across the bridge to the west side of the island to the point
of discharge 200 ft. off shore into the main channel of the
Catawba River. (Refer to Exhibit H for Preliminary Subdivi-
sion Plat).
C. The WWTP will serve a proposed 170 lot subdivision and
existing 72 bedroom condominium complex presently being served
by ground absorption system. Total waste contribution as
calculated according to 15NCAC2H.0219 calls for a 90,000 gpd
plant.
D. Current plans called for the project to be phased in incre-
ments of 30,000 gpd/phase.
Evaluation of Environmental Feasibility of Discharge Alternatives
Feasibility of non -discharge alternatives
1. Attached is correspondence to Iredell County and the Town
of Troutman asking that they advise the feasibility of
providing sanitary sewer service to this development
(Exhibits A and B). Iredel1 County Manager Mashburn and
Town of Troutman Mayor Powell both responded that there
are no plans to provide sewer to the area. (Exhibits A-2
and B-2).
a. Existing Sewage System: The Town of Troutman
sewer system is 4.5 miles from the site.
(1) Troutman collection system could be
reached by force main along State Road
right-of-way (SR 2728, 1328, and 1324).
See attached plat showing proposed 24,000
If force main to Town of Troutman (Ex-
hibit G).

Division of Environmental Management Page 3
(2) Refer to attached letter from Town of
Troutman (Exhibit B-2).
(3) Third party agreements and easements may
be necessary if feasible.
b. Planned Sewage System: Refer to letters to
Joel Mashburn, Iredell County Manager and
Mayor Loren Powell, Town of Troutman request-
ing feasibility and time tables to implement
and capacity to treat sewage. (Exhibits A and
B).
2. Subsurface Disposal Condition: Refer to attached letters
from R. Carroll Williams, Jr., P.E., dated 4-28-86 to
Arthur Mouberry, P.E., DEM (Exhibit C); report from Toney
C. Jacobs, CPSS, dated 9-26-90 to John Belk, Pearson
Development Service (Exhibit D), and Mr. Jacobs' report
of 5-17-91 to B. K. Barringer, Jr., P.E. (Exhibit E).
Although these letters are addressing a different
development scheme, they are referring to the same
property. There is an existing nitrification field
presently serving a 72 bedroom condominium complex.
Repair area is available only for these existing fields.
Individual ground absorption systems are not a consider-
ation due to soil topography and type. Refer to Soil
Scientist's report (Exhibit D).
3. Spray Irrigation System:
a. Consideration has been given to using spray irriga-
tion; however, topography (gullies), thin soil, and
limited area have dictated that this is not an
alternative. Refer to Soil Scientist' report
(Exhibit E).
b. Adequate adjacent land is not available for sale
due to proximity to the lake. Similar topography
and soil conditions exist on adjacent land. Refer
to Soil Scientist' report (Exhibit E).
C. The receiving stream, Catawba River (Lake Norman)
is classified as WS-III, B. See the attached map
for the discharge point. (Exhibit F).

Division of Environmental Management
Page 4
After considering the alternatives of (1) connecting to existing system,
(2) ground absorption systems, and (3) spray irrigation, the conclusion
is that the only means of waste water disposal is by treatment and
discharge.
We request that a Discharge Permit be issued. Please advise if addition-
al information is required. Your prompt response is appreciated.

EXPLANATION
The property that this proposed facility is described to
serve lies within a P.R.D. (Planned Residential Development)
with the exception of the island. The regulations that
pertain to this P.R.D. regulate among other things the method
of sewer disposal for this development. Those regulations
currently prescribe that the method of disposal for this
project will be by a nitrification field rather than a
package treatment facility. It is possible that these
regulations could be modified, however, at this time I do not
have such a request.
At the present time, we have no plans to provide sewer
service in the subject area, and also no plans in the near
future.

Re: Heronwood Development
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Mouberry:
Pursuant to the results of our meeting with Mr. Wilms, you and Steve
Berkowitz of DHS, I submit the attached information and accompanying maps
for your review and consideration. The intent of this submission is to
demonstrate that ground absorption and/or irrigation is neither feasible
nor a practical means of wastewater treatment and disposal for the Hernwood
project. Please consider this letter a request, should your review agree
with our findings, to reconsider the Heronwood application for an N.P.D.E.S.
discharge permit.
Enclosed you will also find:
1. A summary of the housing units, acreage and density of the
project as approved by the Iredell County Planning Board
and Board of Commissions.
c
Design criteria and guidelines used as a basis for the
preliminary plans attached.
2. Four (4) sheets of topographic maps at a scale of 1" = 501,
superimposed with a slope analysis.
3, A sepia overlay to reasonably fit the topographic maps
depicting a portion of the project, superimposed with
probable nitrification fields for various dwelling units.
4. A small 200 scale map depicting the complete project area.
5. A small 200 scale map depicting the project area, superim-
posed with the buffer restrictions for an irrigation system.
6. A print of nitrification field layout and repair area as
approved by DHS for 20 units.

Mr. Authur Mouberry, P.E.
April 28, 1986
Page 2
Item No. 5 demonstrates the buffer zones required for land application
or irrigation practically eliminate this method as a means of wastewater
disposal. Other requirements for this method indicated that it is not a
practical means of wastewater disposal in a multi -family residential
project.
Using criteria from DEM regulations and DHS regulations, an analysis
of slopes throughout the project area was made on the aerial topographic
map. A visual inspection shows the space available as suitable, provisional,
and unsuitable slopes. It seemed unnecessary to summarize these spaces
as acreage because of the contour interval and since an accurate field topo
would be necessary for detailed design.
However, some acreages have been taken off for comparison. Using the
area shown on the sepia overlay, I find -
59.8 acres of land
15.5 acres used by streets, buildings, parking, and other
improvements
13.0 acres of lake shore line buffer, creeks and ravine buffers
2.6 acres of unsuitable slopes (30%-plus)
28.7 acres net open space
It would appear that adequate space is available for septic tanks and field
systems. For example: one DU with 2.4 bedrooms requires 720 SF of nitri-
fication area, or 2 lines 120' long, 8' o.c. for a field size of 1500 SF.
There are 195 units shown on the overlay which would total 6.7 acres of
fields or 13.4 acres with repair areas, all which fits well within the 28.7
acres of net space.
From a practical stand this does not work. The first variable to
consider is the curvilinear topography itself. The nitrification lines
must curve to vit the contour, and often must spread more than the 8' on -
center to fit the contour. With clearance between fields and beyond trench
walls, more space is taken. Using the system already approved and installed
for 10 units and designed over field topo with 2' intervals, the average
space per dwelling unit for nitrification is 0.28 acres/unit. For space
needed to accommodate septic tanks, sipon dosing tanks, distribution boxes,
supply lines and possible lift stations, this space increases to over 0.3
acres/unit. Now with the 195 units shown on the overlay, the wastewater
disposal system needs about 58 acres of land, which does include repair area.
The overlay attempts to show the configurations as the fields are
fitted to the contour. However, rather than show 58 acres of nitrification
fields, an effort was made to accommodate as many desirable dwelling unit
locations as possible. The results are 75 dwelling units compared to the 195
planned. 120 lost. By referring to the topo sheets, the slopes adjacent
to the project entrance may accommodate nitrification fields for 20 dwelling
units. But further reference to the topo sheets and the small plan sheet
show that buildings C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, C-5, C-6, B-16, B-21, and B-22
would have problems in being served at all.

Mr. Authur Mouberry, P.E.
April 28, 1986
Page 3
The second variable to consider is the amount of ground cover; that is
trees and heavy growth. The project area is fairly heavily wooded with a
mixture of hardwoods and pines. It is not possible to lay nitrification lines
in a wooded area and hope to maintain some minimum overall area for each field.
From knowledge of the project area the space/DU could increase to one acre.
If the land is cleared by cutting the timber, grubbing the stumps and
removing debris, the character of the soil is disrupted. The land then is
totally unsuitable for nitrification.
The third variable is the soil itself. Detailed examinations must be
made over the total project area, specifically in areas designated for nitri-
fication fields. It is extremely doubtful that an application rate of more
than 0.5 could be realized. On the other hand, it is very possible to get
rates of less than 0.5, which of course would change everything proportionately.
To summarize, if the land would "perc" well and only had thin cover, it
may accommodate ground absorption systems for 95 dwelling units and perhaps
the club house. This would not be economically feasible to the developers.
The soils may vary slightly from one location to another, but it is
doubtful that an application rate better than 0.5 would be approved. The
tendency would be to expect less.
The soils of the area in which nitrification fields have already been
constructed are underlayed with saprolite. The DHS soils scientist prohibited
use of the land sloping toward a well, reasoning that lateral movement could
contaminate the well. If this is expected, it should be expected that such
movement would eventually get to the lake. Similarly, the project area could
be all underlayed with weathered material and with more than 34,000 GPD
being discharged on sloping land, some will go to the lake.
Clearing the land for nitrification fields would disrupt the natural state
of the soil. Re -shaping the sites would result literally in "filled" sections.
For the Heronwood project, septic tanks and ground absorption systems
are not a feasible means of wastewater treatment and disposal. Economically
and environmentally, the most feasible means of wastewater treatment is with
a sewage treatment plant, discharging an effluent that has specific limita-
tions, is monitored and controlled.
I trust you will find this helpful in your review of the Heronwood
project and that it will give reason to approve the NPDES discharge permit.
Please let me know if there are any questions.
Respectfully,
R. Carroll Williams, P.E.

PROJECT SUMMARY
104.4 Acres
252 Dwelling Units (Condos)
43 Buildings
Density: 2.4 DU/Acre
0.4 Buildings/AC
DESIGN CRITERIA, RESTRICTIONS AND GUIDELINES
400 feet buffer zone between spray irrigation or land application and
a residence or place of dwelling.
Ground Absorption -
Slopes 15% or less are suitable
Slopes 15% - 30% are provisionally suitable
Slopes 30% or greater are unsuitable
Nitrification lines are at least 8 ft. apart, center to center.
Nitrification trenches are 3 ft. wide and 18" - 24" depth, depending
on underlying strata and ground water levels.
Nitrification lines shall be level, end to end, therefore must follow
contours to maintain level and approximately uniform depth.
Nitrification field size is determined by dividing design daily flow
by the effluent application rate.
The application rate of Gals./S.F./Day is determined by the county
sanitarian and a representative of D.E.M. from an analysis of the soil.
Length of nitrification trench is determined by:
Daily Flow = Area = LF Trench
A. Rate Area; 31
Nitrification trenches shall not be longer than 2001.
Nitrification fields shall normally not be wider than 1001.
Nitrification fields shall be separated by at least 201.
If possible, nitrification fields should not be stacked (one above the
other) on provisional slopes.

ATTACHMENT NO. 1
(continued...)
Systems 3000 gal. or greater must be split to dose alternate fields.
Ground absorption systems shall have an area equal to 100% of the required
nitrification field set aside as a repair area. The repair area shall meet
all rules and regulations applicable to nitrification fields. Repairs
areas must not be paved, used for parking, buildings, or other uses that
may damage or change the characteristics of the soil from its natural state.
Design daily flow is equal to 150 GPD per bedroom.
The project is planned for the majority of the dwelling units to have two
bedrooms. However, there will be some with three bedrooms and a few with
one bedroom. The average of 2.4 bedrooms per unit is used in design.
The effluent application rate of 0.4 GPD/SF was established by the Iredell
County sanitarian and a soils engineer from DHS for the system presently
in use. The sanitarian advises that 0.4 may be a good average for the
project area, certainly no more than 0.5.
0.5 GPD/SF is used in this analysis.

Dear John:
This letter/report summarizes the activities and observations of the expansions area for
Heronwood Subdivision. On September 19 and 21, I did a field reconnaissance of most of
the site. This included approximately 8 auger holes, some to 54 inches, to observe soil
properties and soil depth. I also examined the USGS topographical map (Fig. 1) and soil
survey map (Fig. 2) for existing information.
The most obvious surface feature of the area is the deeply cut gullies. There is also many
areas of shallow soil. Gullies and thin soil cause a complex topography making on -site septic
systems impossible. There are also a few areas with soils which are less suitable because of
the mineralogy and generally shallow soil. I have included an enlarged copy of the Soil
Survey of Iredell County which shows a great deal of eroded (MoD) and sloped land. Also,
soils (legend LuF) are unsuitable as to depth <24". Note: This work was done in 1964
before the lake was filled. These are technical evaluations as to soils, and not septic
evaluations, but they verify what was observed in the field. They also represent no bias, pro
or con, to development. Also, the D, E, and F slopes represent 10-15, 15-25, and 25-55,
respectively. These slopes will have considerable gullies and complex slopes.
This may be a moot point, but by using the Iredell County Health Department policy,
probably only 20-40% of the lots can be platted as drawn.
Site Investigations * Soil Surveys * On -Site Waste Disposal * Soil and Water Resource Data Evaluations * Radon Testing

If we consider a Spray irrigation system, we may be able to utilize a large portion of the
upland area. DEM allows for cut and fill in the drainfield area. We can also utilize some
of the thin soils with a reasonable application rate.
Summary
If you can get a discharge permit, this is most desirable for this location. Spray irrigation
is probably a viable alternative. I will need to do a 1-2 day survey with a backhoe and work
on a close interval topo to give specifics for such a plan. On -site septic at even 25% the
density shown will be extremely difficult. Working with DEM rather than DHS is usually
much more productive.
Thank you for this opportunity to be of assistance with this project. If questions arise about
this report or systems, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Reference: Waste Disposal System for SR 2728
(formally Heronwood)
Dear Mr. Barringer,
This is a follow-up of a preliminary assessment reported in a letter September 26,
1990, to Mr. John Belk of Pearson Development Services and should be used only when
accompanied by the first letter. These comments are made after a follow-up site visit on
May 15, 1991, followed by another review of USDA-SCS published soils information and
materials supplied on previous permit applications.
Since my limited soils work of September 1990, a portion of the area has been
cleared, primarily of Hugo debris, and seeded with a cover of winter grain (probably rye).
This cover is to a height of approximately 6 feet and conceals some of the topographic
features. Many of the small surface gullies are still visible even with this cover crop.
Considering B and C slopes (both less than and equal to 10%) from a soil survey represents
a good preliminary starting point for a spray field consideration. Before an actual
recommendation, these must be field checked. This amounts to a limited portion of the
total area shown in my previous figure 2. This is wetted surface and buffer does not have
to be < 10% slope. With a design flow of 90K gpd, you are looking for 47 to 117 acres of
wetted area (application rate from 0.5 to 0.2 inches per week respectively). This wetted
spray area will also require a significant area of buffer for such a system. With this site and
Site Investigations * Soil Surveys * On -Site Waste Disposal * Sal and Water Resource Data Evaluations * Radon Testing

the small areas of B and C slopes, the buffer areas will probably exceed the actual disposal
area.
I have not planimetered the areas or done exact overlays of the subdivision plan, but
with the area in question, I see no possibility for a spray system of this size. My conclusion
of September 26, 1990, was based on a smaller design flow, less than one-half that now
proposed, and availability of other areas adjacent to this property. This other land was
owned or under option to one of the former area developers and was represented to be a
remote site with a more suitable topography. If you wish to do indepth work on this option
(digitize or planimeter and include buffers), I welcome the opportunity to complete a field
soil evaluation, subsequent report, and assist in delineating the best areas for use.
Thank you for this opportunity to be of service.

OFFICE
This is in response to your letter of July 24, 1991 to Carroll Weber of Mid -South Water Systems and
check list acknowledgment of July 23, 1991. The owner is in the process of presenting a subdivision
plat to Iredell County for rezoning, which will include zoning for the WWTP as called for in GS 143-
215.1 (c)(6). We, therefore, ask that the original submittal package be retained by you until the
rezoning request is finalized.
In response to item checked on your July 23, 1991 check sheet, source reduction and recycling is
addressed in the second paragraph of our narrative dated June 5, 1991.
With respect to the point of discharge, the owner is considering skirting the northern tip of the island
in lieu of crossing the island with the effluent line. This would move the location of discharge to a
point to the northwest of the northern end of the island, but still in the main channel, coordinates
N350-40'-00", W800-58'-00". We ask that you consider both locations in your review.
We anticipate plat preparation and submittal to the zoning board and County Commissioners to take
90 days. Therefore, we suggest the recall date be set for December 31, 1991.
We will keep you informed of progress in the obtaining of information for this permit. If you have any
questions, please advise.
Yours ly,

Re: Proposed Discharge
Heronwood Development
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Gleason:
This is to request the effluent limitations necessary for
the referenced discharge. The project is proposed as a
multi -family residential development. The development
is being planned for about 300 to 350 units with an
estimated daily flow of about 120,000 to 140,000 gallons.
I am enclosing a copy of the Troutman quadrangle sheet
showing the approximate point of discharge. If you need
any further information at this time please do not hesitate
to call me.
Yours very truly,
R. Carroll Williams, PE

Enclosed herewith are two copies of revised plans for the remainder of the
above referenced project. Outlined below are features of the site plan
which we would like to call your attention to:
1. A community water system will be incorporated.
2. All lots on the island will be a minimum of 15,000 square feet.
3. The private drive on the island is divided so that the trees along the
ridge line can be retained; also, opportunities are afforded for U-turns without
going to the end of the island. The divided road may present a problem,
as there currently is not a N.C.D.P.T. for such.
4. The "tracts" on the mainland portion of the property will be developed
either as single family or duplexes.
5. A centralized sewage treatment plant is shown on the east side of Heronwood
Road for the proposed development and for also the existing development.
