IREDELL COUNTY
Dear Permittee:
Our files indicate that the subject permit issued on 10/25/85 expires on
9/30/90. GS 143-215.1(c) requires that an application for renewal must be filed 180
days prior to the expiration date. We have not received an application for renewal
from you as of this date.
A renewal application shall consist of a letter requesting renewal along with the
appropriate completed and signed application form, submitted in triplicate, referenced
in Title 15 of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H .0105(a).
Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 122 (40 CFR Part 122), shall submit a priority pollutant analysis
that is performed in accordance with 40 CFR Part 122.21. A processing fee must be
submitted with the application. Please find attached a copy of the 15 NCAC 2B.0105(b)
regulations. The processing fee for your facility is based on the design or permitted
flow, whichever is appropriate, listed in the first five categories of facilities. No
facility is allowed to submit a fee for the general permits listed in the fee schedule
at this time since EPA has not approved our general permit. If the facility covered
by this permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative description of the
sludge management plan that is in effect at the facility must be submitted with the
application for renewal.
The Environmental Management Commission adopted rules on August 1, 1988,
requiring the payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities (see attached 15
NCAC 2H .0105(b) regulations). You will be billed separately for that fee (if
applicable), after your permit is approved.
Please be advised that this permit must not be allowed to expire. If the renewal
request is not received within 180 days prior to the permit's expiration date as
required by 15 NCAC 2H .0106, you will be assessed an automatic civil penalty. This
civil penalty by North Carolina General Statute may be as much as $10,000 per day. If
a permit renewal request is not received 180 days before permit expiration, a civil
penalty of at least $300 will be assessed. Larger penalties may be assessed depending

on how late the request is made. In addition, any permit renewal request received
after the permit's expiration date will be considered as a new application and will be
required to pay the higher permit application fee.
The letter requesting renewal, along with a completed NPDES Permit application
and appropriate standard fee, should be sent to:

Division of Environmental Management
Post Office Box 27687
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687
The check should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment,

PART I

Amended.
"DEM" used herein means the Division of Environmental Management of
the Department of Natural Resources and Community Development.
"EMC" used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management
Commission.
Definitions
a. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is
the arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected in a
one -month period. The monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria
is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -month period.
b. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during a
one -week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria
is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -week period.
c. Flow, M3/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the
24-hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the
arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar
month.
d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the
summation of the individual values divided by the number of indi-
vidual values.
e. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth
root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the
number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to
the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the indi-
vidual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean,
values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1).

PART 11
A. MANAGEMENT F:EQUIREMENTS
1. Change in Discharge
All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms
and conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant
identified in this permit more frequently than or at a level in
excess of that authorized shall constitute a violation of the
permit. Any anticipated facility expansions, production increases,
or process modifications which will result in new, different, or
increased discharges of pollutants must be reported by submission
of a new NPDES application or, if such changes will not violate the
effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to the DEM
of such changes. Following such notice, the permit may be modified
to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited.

operate as efficiently as possible all treatment or control facili-
ties or systems installed or used by the permittee to achieve com-
pliance with the terms and conditions of this permit.
3. Adverse Impact
The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize any adverse
impact to navigable waters resulting from noncompliance with any

erated or additional monitoring as necessary to determine the nature
and impact of the noncomplying discharge.
4. Bypassing
Any diversion from or bypass of facilities necessary to maintain com-
pliance with the terms and conditions of this permit is prohibited,
except (i) where unavoidable to prevent loss of life or severe
property damage, or (ii) where excessive storm drainage or runoff
would damage any facilities necessary for compliance with the
effluent limitations and prohibitions of this permit. The permittee
shall promptly notify the Water Quality Section of DEM in writing of
each such diversion or bypass.
5. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the
course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be disposed of in
a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such material from
entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United
States.

PART II
6. Power Failures

prohibitions of this permit, the permittee shall either:
a. Provide an alternative power source sufficient to operate
the wastewater control facilities;
