Subject: Demolition and Removal Recommendations
Dear Mr. Bivens:

This letter provides general recommendations for abandonment and removal of remaining in ground
structures associated with the Faith Elementary School Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The
WWTP is no longer, in service and Rowan -Salisbury School System maintenance staff will be
removing and or abandoning in place several structures from the old plant.
A site visit of the abandoned WWTP facility was conducted by our office on July 19, 2006. The
following observations and recommendations are provided based on our site visit:
Package Aeration Plant
This is a below grade steel structure. It is recommended that all components of this structure be
removed and that Backfill and' top soil be put back in place. Backfill should be compacted to reduce
future settling in this area.
Filter Bed
This is a partially buried concrete structure. It is recommended that this structure be demolished in
place and that the side walls be removed. The foundation can be broken up in place and allowed to
remain as long as the remaining debris is sufficiently small enough to allow ground water to drain
through. Backfill and topsoil should be put back in its place.

Re: Faith Elementary WWTP Demolition
The following is a review of the facts, given as accurately as possible, concerning the
disconnection and expected demolition of the Faith WWTP.
Letter dated March 23, 2005 requesting termination of NPDES Permit # NC0035921.
Reason given for request: Connection to Town of Faith sewer system on March 21, 2006.
(See attached copy of letter and Town of Faith connection permit No. #S025).
Letter dated April 7, 2005 from NCDENR Division of Water Quality confirming receipt
of request and consequently rescinding NPDES Permit# NC0035921. (See attached copy
of rescission).
Sometime during the period of February 6-17, 2006, Jody Blythe spoke with the DWQ
Mooresville Regional Office to ask for specific guidelines on demolition of a closed
WWTP. He was told that after the permit has been rescinded; the DWQ has no
guidelines or "say-so" in the agreed acceptable manner for demolition. On February 23,
2006 Mr. Blythe again spoke with the DWQ Regional Office in conversation with John
Leslie. The Regional Office repeated that they do not give instructions of closed WWTP
demolition. Mr. Blythe asked could he have a letter stating that fact. The conversation
was then transferred to Mr. Rex Gleason who clearly stated that the DWQ did not give
instructions on how to demolish a closed WWTP with a rescinded permit and would not
write a letter saying so.
Bids were received on or about February 20, 2006 by local contractors for demolition.
(See Attached proposals).
Letter dated February 27, 2006 sent by Butch Bivens, Rowan -Salisbury Schools
Maintenance Director to Mr. Charles Waver & Mr. Alan Klimek with NCDENR, DWQ
in Raleigh. The letter requested rules and guidelines for the demolition of a WWTP. The
letter also asked that if no regulations requirements and procedures were available would
that please be confirmed in writing. (See attached copy of letter).
Letter dated March 21, 2006 from Mr. Charles Weaver NCDENR DWQ to Butch Bivens
was received in response confirming earlier telephone conversation. Letter states
"Division has no policy regarding facility closure requirements or WWTP
decommissioning." Letter also recommends permittees work with Regional Office Staff.
(See attached copy of letter).
At the request of Butch Bivens, a brief meeting was held May 5, 2006 in the office of
Lynn Aldridge of the Rowan County Health Department. Present were Clyde Sloan,
Lynn Aldridge and Jody Blythe. Mr. Aldridge suggested and made a phone call to Mike
Parker of DWQ, Regional Office. During the speakerphone conversation in which school

system representatives were acknowledged as being present, Mr. Parker reviewed a
previous phone conversation he had with Mr. Lynn Aldridge stating that we could either
remove filter sand for later use or leave it inside block wall enclosure and cave in the
block walls, as long as there was no risk of any contaminants getting into the local
stream. Mr. Aldridge concluded the phone conversation. He then suggested to us that
the DWQ Raleigh Office or Regional Office would not put that into writing. (See
attached notes of conversation).
In conclusion, the Rowan -Salisbury School System has attempted to be diligent in the
planning and demolition of the Faith WWTP. We have continued to check the plant on a
regular basis to ensure the safety of the community. It is over sincere desire to close this
plant quickly safety and in a manner consistent with all regulatory requirements.

Dear Mr. Bivens:
Division staff has confirmed that the subject permit is no longer required. Therefore, in accordance
with your request, NPDES Permit NC0035921 is rescinded, effective immediately.
If in the future you wish to again discharge wastewater to the State's surface waters, you must first
apply for and receive a new NPDES permit. Discharge of wastewater without a valid NPDES permit
will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Charles Weaver of my staff at the telephone
number or address listed below. You may also contact the Mooresville Regional Office at (704) 663-

Subject: NPDES Permit No. NC0035921
Faith Elementary School WWTP
Rowan County, NC
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0035921 was issued on June 2, 2004 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. 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
(DWQ 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 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.

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

In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems
having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at
intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
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
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
Facility Closure
The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage
under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.
Version 612012003

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

II. E. 6. (24-hour notice).
c. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass from the treatment facility is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement
action against a Permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,
retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This
condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of
reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of
equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The Permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph b. of this section.
(2) Bypass from the collection system is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement
action against a Perr ittee for a bypass as provided in any current or future system -wide collection system
permit associated with the treatment facility.
(3) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if
the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph c.
0) of this section.
5. U sets
a. Effect of an upset [40 CFR 122.41 (n) (2)]: An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action
brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of
paragraph b. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
Version 612012003

NPDES Permit Requirements
Page 8 of 16
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action
subject to judicial review.
b. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset: A Permittee who wishes to establish the
affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or
other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the Permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The Permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and

(4) The Permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II. B. 2. of this permit.
d. Burden of proof [40 CFR 122.41 (n) (4)1: The Permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an
upset has the burden of proof in any enforcement proceeding.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters
shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant
from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United States. The Permittee
shall comply with all existing Federal regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of
40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be
reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR 503. The
Permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when
promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the 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 15A NCAC 2H.0124 —

either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent.
Section D. Monitoring and Records
Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of
the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily shall be taken on a day and time that is
characteristic of the discharge over the entire period the sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the
monitoring points specified in this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is diluted
by any other wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without
notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority [40 CFR 122.41 (j)].
2. Reporting
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and reported on a
monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the
Director, postmarked no later than the 28th day following the completed reporting period.

Dear Dr. Doby:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$485.00 ($400.00 civil penalty + $85.04 enforcement costs) against the Rowan -Salisbury Board
of Education.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the
discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by the Rowan -Salisbury Board of Education for
the month of February 2004. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the
discharge limitations found in NPDES Permit No. NC0035921. The violations are summarized in
Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Rowan -Salisbury Board
of Education violated the terms, conditions or requirements ofNPDES Permit N6. NCO035921
and North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in
Attachment A. A civil penalty may be assessed in accordance with the maximums established by
G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon le above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and
the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, D. Rex Gleason, Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Mooresville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against
the Rowan -Salisbury Board of Education:

TOTAL. CIVIL PENALTY
Enforcement costs.
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina. 27699-1617

2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for
such request:
Please be. aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five
factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the
penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting
whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements
contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a
stipulation that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and
submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. -In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors
shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282. 1 (b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your
remission request. The response will provide details regarding case status,
directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information
that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director.
Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement
in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed
"Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also
requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission
Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address:

Subject: NPDES Permit Modification
Permit NCO035921
Faith Elementary School
Rowan County
Dear Mr. Atwood:
Division personnel in the Mooresville Regional Office reviewed the subject permit and found a typographical
error on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements page. This permit modification restores the 17 µg/L
daily maximum limit for total residual chlorine, mistakenly omitted from the permit renewal.
Please find enclosed the revised page. The revised page should be inserted into your permit. The old page may
then be discarded.. All other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged and, in full
effect. This permit modification is issued under the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and
the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency --
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit modification 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 a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes, filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raheigh, North
Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions concerning this permit modification, please contact Charles Weaver at [phone],
extension 511.
Sincerely,
XX

This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$585.00 ($500.00 civil penalty + $85.04 enforcement costs) against the Rowan -Salisbury Board
of Education.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the
discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by the Rowan -Salisbury Board of Education for
the month of April 2004. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the
discharge limitations found in NPDES Permit No. NC0035921. The violations are summarized in
Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Rowan -Salisbury Board
of Education violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit No. NCO035921
and North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215. 1 (a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in
Attachment A. A civil penalty may be assessed in accordance with the maximums established by
G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and
the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, D. Rex Gleason, Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Mooresville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against

TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally,
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has reaulatory authority;
and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Xi

2. Submit a -written request for remission. including a detailed justification for
such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five
factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the
penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting
whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements
contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a
stipulation that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and
submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors
shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282. 1 (b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your
remission request. The response will provide details regarding case status,
directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information
that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director.
Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement
in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed
"Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also
requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission
Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address:

Division of Water Quality

Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Permit No. NCO 035921
Faith Elementary School
Rowan County, NC
Dear Mr. Atw000d:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NCO03 5921 was issued on
December 22, 1999 for the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State from
your facility. The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit
and the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the
Permit. If you have not already done so, it is suggested that you thoroughly read the
Permit. Of particular importance are Pages 4 and 5.
Pages 4 and 5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for
your discharge. Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The
section headed "Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon- commencement of your discharge (or
operation), you must initiate the required monitoring. The monitoring results must be
entered on reporting forms furnished or approved by this Agency. If you have not
received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the forms,
please contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the
"Effluent" reporting form (DEM Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form.
It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed, and the original and one copy be
submitted as required.
W
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..

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY / AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER - 50% RECYCLED/10% POST -CONSUMER PAPER

Mr. Atwood
January 5, 2000
The remaining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and
special conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or
discharge(s). The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of
noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are
requirements for a certified wastewater treatment plant operator if you are operating
wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment
facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or discharged, expansion and/or
upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by this
Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the
Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina

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

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

Part II
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
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.

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.
SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. Duty to Comply

Thank you for your letter of self -monitoring report for the Faith Elementary School facility. The report indicated
that the facility exceeded the perimeters for total residual chlorine and ammonia nitrogen level in January 04.
Rowan -Salisbury School System had done some modifications to the contact chamber and adjustment to the
holding aeration basin at the facility. This has improved somewhat our analytical data for the Faith facility on the
monthly self -monitoring report.
The Rowan -Salisbury School System has requested an allotment in the 2004-2005 operational budget to make some
modifications to the system contact chamber and holding tank capacity in order to produce better sample results till
the system can be connected to a municipal collection system.
This facility is scheduled to be induced into the new municipality sewer system operated by Salisbury -Rowan
Utilities within the next few months if the project remains on schedule.
Thank you again for your help in operation of the school WWTPS.

During the month of December 2003, there were five occurrences of residual chlorine
monitoring being above 17ug/L permit requirements.
The operator has expressed much difficulty maintaining the chlorine levels at 17ug/L or below.
Implantation to try and keep the residual at the level potential have been successful during much
of the year but during the winter months this has become a very hard task. This system also has
a very low contact time when it pertains to declaration of wastewater exceeded from the
chlorination chamber. During the month of January 2004 the system only had two chlorine
residual above the 17ug/L limit.

In November 2003 the facility at Faith Elementary School had five occurrences of residual
chlorine monitoring being above the 17ug/L permit requirements.
The operator of this facility has tried to keep this small system in compliance in regards to
chlorine residuals by adjusting titration of chlorine and declorinates; this has been a very difficult
under taking. With residual at the microgram levels (17ug/L many factors can and do effect the
out come of the action of both chemicals being used.
The operator will continue to operate this plant and try to maintain chlorine levels at or below the
permitted levels.

This letter is in response to the Effuent LimitationsViolation at the Faith Elementary School
wastewater package plant NC0035921. On October 23, 2003 the biochemical oxygen demand
analytical data showed a reported value of 14.9 mg/1Liter.
The analytical data at that same time showed an increase of higher than normal levels and TSS
reported of sample pulled with BOD. The operator has not seen any high levels of BOD in the 2
and one half months since the violation, with levels of BOD running an average of 4.9 in
November 2003 and < 2 in December 2003. As the Compliance and Enforcement Unit I am sure
you are aware that with a small package plant weather, flow and temperature have much to
influence levels of samples collected and analytical data reported.
Thank you,

the construction of a sewer line in the vicinity of the school by July 2004. Giving the non-
compliance history of the school with its NPDES permit limits, it is recommended that the permit
be renewed with a condition that the school will connect its wastewater to the Salisbury sewer
system within six months of the sewer line completion.
Pending review and approval by P&E, it is recommended that the permit be renewed
subject to the above condition.

Faith Elementary WWTP
Rowan County
The. NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on October 17, 2003. Thank you for
submitting this package.
The permit renewal for this facility has been assigned to Valery Stephens. This staff member will
contact you if further information is needed to complete the permit renewal. Please note that the
NPDES Unit has several vacant positions. This staff shortage has lasted for over 4 years and is
delaying all permit renewals. Our remaining permit writers are currently reviewing Authorizations
to Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit modifications and 201 plan updates ahead of
permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in
the statutes which govern our program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NCO035921 the existing requirements in your permit will
remain in effect until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We appreciate
your patience and understanding while we operate with a severely depleted staff. If you have any
additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact Valery Stephens at
[phone], extension 520.

Dear Permittee:
Your NPDES permit expires on June 30, 2004. Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e))
regulations require that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. If
you have already mailed your renewal application, you may disregard this notice. .
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than January 2,
2004. Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties
may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If anv wastewater discharge will occur after June 30, 2004, the current permit must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater
without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1; unpermitted discharges of wastewater may result
in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facifin, and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Bob Sledge of the
Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 547. You may also contact the Dlooresville Regional

On August 14, 2003 along with other weekly samples on fecal coliform sample was pulled and results
showed levels of 550 CFU/100ml. Resulting in a daily violation. During this occurrence the Faith
wastewater system was bring operated by a back-up operator. Apparently the operator did not apply
sufficient chlorine to maintain lower levels of fecal discharge.
Back-up operator was instructed and reminded on proper application of chlorine inducted to the effluent
to have adequate control of fecal concentration at effluent. The following two months of operation of
system fecal concentration were within normal levels as permit authorized.
It must be noted that with chlorine limits at such low levels that fecal concentration will and could run
high with intermit flow of a small package plant operation.

Rowan -Salisbury Schools has received the notice of violation dated March 18, 2003 on
a dissolved oxygen and total residual chlorine effluent limitation in December 31, 2002.
There could be a number of factors contributing to low dissolve oxygen violation. One
factor that may be causing low DO could be use of DE Chlor Tabs to lower chlorine
residuals to get to the 17ug/L levels.
During this same reporting period this facility has chloride that was above the 17ug 1L
limit set forth by EPA and Environmental and Natural Resources of North Carolina.
The ORC was working very hard to bring this plant into compliance during the month.
The chlorine residual was much lower during the months of January and February of
2003. We are trying to make improvements in our efforts to stay within the set
perimeters of the permit.

Subject: Renewal Notice
NPDES Permit NC0035921
Faith Elementary School
Rowan Count),
Dear Permittee:
Your NPDES permit expires on June 30, 2004. Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e))
regulations require that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. If
you have already mailed your renewal application, you may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than January 2,
2004. Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties
may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after June 30, 2004, the current permit must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater
without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1; unpermitted discharges of wastewater may 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 Bob Sledge of the
Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 547. You may also contact the Mooresville Regional
Office at [phone] to begin the rescission process.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must submit with
the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact Valery Stephens at the telephone number or e-mail
address listed below.

DFK. 0�
MAR 1 2 2003
Rowan -Salisbury Schools has received the notice of violation dated February 21, 2003
on a dissolved oxygen effluent limitation in September 2002.
There could be a number of factors contributing to low dissolve oxygen violation.
There as two causes that we believe could have affected the reading during this time.
Temperature and higher than normal sulfite being added for dechlorination purpose.
(ORC trying to lower chlorine residual at this facility). This problem was more then
likely caused by high temperature during the month of September causing DO levels to
be lower than normal. The average for that month was only 6.3. Average temperature
of the effluent was 22.9© or around 73' F.
During this same reporting period this facility has chloride that was above the 17ug 1L
limit set forth by EPA and Environmental and Natural Resources of North Carolina.
The ORC was working very hard to bring this plant into compliance during the month.
The chlorine residual was much higher during the months of January and February of

Dear Mr. Bivens:
Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
A review of the September 2002 self -monitoring report for the subject facility revealed violations
of the following parameters:
Pipe Parameter . Reported Value Limit Units
001 Dissolved Oxygen 5.8 >6.0 FiN mg/L
001 Total Residual Chlorine 30, 28, 20, 22, 28, 20 17 FIN ug/L
20, 25, 27, 20
Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any problems. The
Division of Water Quality may pursue enforcement actions for these and any additional violations.
Currently, Total Residual Chlorine data, collected through the period ending December 31, 2003, which
exceeds the Permit limit but is <100 ug/L, will result in issuance of a NOV. If the violations are of a
continuing nature, not related to operation and/or maintenance problems, and you anticipate remedial
construction activities, then you may wish to consider applying for a Special Order by Consent. You may
contact Richard Bridgeman of this Office for additional information.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr_ Bridgeman or
me at 704/663-1699.

at all times. The settleability test performed on -site revealed a turbid supernate.
LABORATORY:
All Rowan County Schools with NPDES Permits were issued a laboratory certification (No. 5111) to perform
on -site field analyses. The co -inspection with Mr. Chet Whiting (Division's Laboratory Certification
Unit) revealed several deficiencies in laboratory practices and sample analysis documentation. Please
refer to Mr. Chet Whiting's inspection report regarding these deficiencies.
SELF -MONITORING REPORTS:
Self -Monitoring reports were reviewed for the period November 2001 through October 2002, inclusive.
Daily maximum TRC violations were reported on nine occasions in April , eight occasions in September, and
10 occasions in October 2002. A daily maximum fecal coliform violation was reported on April 5, 2002.
All limit violations have or will be addressed separately by the Division. No effluent temperature was
reported on February 1 and April 14, 2002. No effluent nH was reported for the weeks of April 7 through
April 13, April 14 through April 20, and April 21 through April 27, 2002. Only one effluent TRC value
was reported for the weeks of March 31 through April 6 and May 12 through May 18, 2002. No upstream
dissolved oxygen was reported for the weeks of September 29 through October 5, October 6 through October
12, October 13 through October 19, and October 20 through October 26, 2002. No downstream sampling times
were reported on the April, August, and September 2002 DMRs. No upstream sampling times were reported on
the August 2002 DMR. The same upstream and downstream times were reported on the October 2002. On
several occasions, the facility was not visited (by the ORC/designated back-up) on a daily basis as
required by the permit.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING STREAM:
The effluent appeared clear with no suspended solids or foam. The receiving stream did not appear to be
negatively impacted and the outfall location was accessible.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
The effluent is measured instantaneously by the bucket and stop watch method. Although this method is
allowable, this office recommends the installation of a dose counter (at the dosinc tank) to more
accurately measure the true volume of wastewater being discharged.
SLUDE DISPOSAL:
Sludge is removed and disposed by Myers Septic Tank Service in Rowan County and disposed at the City of
Salisbury WWTP.

Subject: Modification of NPDES Permit No. NCO035921
Faith Elementary School
Rowan County
The Division is beginning the second five-year cycle of river basin planning and permit renewals. An
examination of the basin planning schedule has revealed that the timing of permit renewals does not
allow an evenly distributed workload as first envisioned. This results in problems with the efficiency
and effectiveness of the NPDES program. In an effort improve customer service, and after thorough
review of the water quality issues in your area, the Division is changing the permit renewal schedule for
all NPDES permits in your sub -basin.
This permit modification changes the expiration date of the subject permit to June 30, 1999. Please
find enclosed the revised permit cover page. Insert the new cover page into your permit and discard the
old page. All other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged and in full
effect. This permit modification is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
If you have already submitted a permit renewal application for the subject facility, the Division will
retain the application until your permit is due for renewal. No additional forms or fees will be required.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit modification
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 a written petition conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings,
Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447. Unless such demand is made, this
decision shall be final and binding.
If you have questions about this modification, please contact Charles Weaver of my staff at the
telephone number or address listed below.

4. Air Quality and/or Groundwater concerns or hazardous materials utilized at this facility
that may impact water quality, air quality, or groundwater? During the inspection
hazardous materials were not observed at this facility that could impact water quality, air
quality, or groundwater.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the NPDES Permit be renewed as requested. The following
comments should not effect the renewal of the permit but warrant documenting.
Total Residual Chlorine - The Sanuril dechlorination unit added to the system in April of 1997
appears to have corrected the excessive residual chlorination levels in the effluent.
Fecal Coliform in creek - Monitoring reports indicate high levels of fecal coliform (as high as
1600 colonies/100 mL) upstream and downstream of the treatment plant. Since the treatment
plant has not exceeded the permit discharge limit for fecal coliform during any month, it appears
the source of the contamination is up gradient. There are several houses and a park's public
restroom within a few hundred feet up gradient of the discharge point. These structures most
likely have septic systems as there is not a sanitary sewer system in the Town of Faith. The exact
location of the septic systems is unknown to the Division of Water Quality. Mr. Steve Overcash,
the operator in responsible charge, has also indicated that there are two up gradient storm drains
that enter the receiving stream. While the receiving stream is small, its close proximity to young
children and consistently high levels of fecal coliform might warrant additional investigation or
corrective action.
Holiday Sampling - Effluent from the treatment plant is not monitored during the summer
holidays and other holidays throughout the year. The monitoring reports during these periods
state "no flow." However, it seems that there would have to be at least periodic flow from the
plant due to maintenance staff usage of restrooms or even rain infiltration of the sand filter bed.
Miscellaneous - A request was received in May 1996 and approved in June 1996 to treat waste
from an adjacent building (Faith Jaycee's Building) at the Faith Elementary treatment plant.
According to Mr. Butch Bivens the building was never connected to the treatment plant. While
the City of Salisbury may extend sewer service to Faith in the future, there are no specific plans
at this time.

Dear Permittee: p
After a thorough review of the Yadkin -Pee Dee River basin management plan and water quality issues relevant to
the subject facility, the Division of Water Quality has decided to extend the duration of the subject permit. The
expiration date of your permit will be changed in order to allow the Division to review all NPDES discharge
permits in the Yadkin River Basin during calendar year 1999.
All terms and conditions in the existing permit will apply until a new expiration date is assigned by the Division.
Extension of existing Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements does not exempt the subject facility from
the new Enforcement Policy recently enacted by the Division.
Attached to this letter is a copy of the Public Notice that is being published to announce the planned extension of
your permit. After Public Notice has been made by the Division, the expiration date of your permit will be
changed via a permit modification. No draft permit will be sent out with the Public Notice, as none of the
conditions in the existing permit will be modified.
The Division appreciates your patience and understanding to date regarding the rescheduling of the subject
permit. If you have already submitted your renewal application package, no additional fees or documentation will
be required as a result of this change to your permit's expiration date.
If you have questions about this proposed modification or about the permit renewal process, contact Charles
Weaver of my staff at the telephone number or address listed below.

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

Part II
Page 2 of 14
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
Page 3 of 14
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.
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
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.
MO MMUM 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.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.

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 meta 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.

Authorization to Construct
Dechlorination Unit
Rowan County
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received October 15, 1996 (and additional
information necessary to complete review was received January 21, 1997) by the Division and final plans
and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and found to be satisfactory. Authorization is
hereby granted for the construction and installation of two low masonry walls to occupy a two-step portion
within the existing concrete drainageway (currently used for step aeration) to form a dechlorination
chamber, a Sanuril Wastewater Dechlorinator (Model #100), and all necessary appurtenances with
discharge of treated wastewater into an unnamed tributary to Crane Creek in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River,
basin.
This Authorization Construct is contingent upon the following two items summarized in this
paragraph. First, the method for measuring total residual chlorine concentration in the effluent must allow
for accurate determination of the amount of sodium sulfite to sufficiently dechlorinate the wastestream.
The total residual chlorine concentration must be known to avoid adding too much sodium sulfite. Excess
sodium sulfite can result in increased measured COD and BOD and decreased measured dissolved oxygen.
In addition, sodium sulfite can also release the ammonia from chlorinated ammonia compounds created
during disinfection. This may result in elevated ammonia levels. Second, the dechlorinator influent pipe
is two inches above ground level. This. could result in occasional ponding of water in the channel leading
to the dechlorination chamber. This ponding could potentially attract nuisance vectors. Therefore, while
conducting routine maintenance, the operator should confirm that ponding is not occurring in this area.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of NPDES
Permit No. NCO035921 issued June 30, 1993 and shall be subject to revocation unless the wastewater
treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in Permit No.
NC0036153.
Any sludge generated from this treatment facility must be disposed of in accordance with G.S.
143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.
In the event that the facility fails to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this
Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities.

a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding State Holidays.
Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification
must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in
accordance with the NPDES Permit, this Authorization to Construct and the approved plans and
specifications. Mail the Certification to the Permits and Engineering Unit, P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, NC
27626-0535.
A copy of the approved plans and specifications shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for the
life of the facility.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Authorization to Construct may subject the
Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Water Quality in accordance with North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C.
The issuance of this Authorization to Construct does not preclude the Permittee from complying
with any and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be imposed by other government
agencies (local, state, and federal) which have jurisdiction.

ID"CHLOR Tm Dechlorination Systems
OPERATION
The two key components to ELTECH's D-CHLOR- System are the
flow -through feeder and the D-CHLOR Tablets.
The tablets are placed in the feed tubes of the flow -through feeder.
As water passes through the feeder, slots in the feed tubes allow
contact of the tablets with the water. The tablets have been specially
formulated by a proprietary process so that they dissolve at a
controlled rate. Thus, a controlled amount of sulfite is added to the
water as it flows through the feeder.
The feeder readily adapts to changes in flowrate. As the flowrate
increases, a weir located at the outlet of the feeder causes the water
level in the feeder to rise. This causes more tablets to be in contact
with the water. The result is a constant sulfite concentration in the
treated water in spite of fluctuations in flowrate. The sulfite - - -
concentration is set by choosing the proper number of tubes to be
filled with tablets and the size of the outlet weir. All of this is
accomplished without the use of complicated instruments, controls,
or even electrical power.

feeders. A Model 1000 or 1001 tablet feeder can
handle up to 50,000 gpd. Larger capacities up to
500,000 gpd can be treated by using a by-pass
arrangement as shown in the sketch below. Smaller
capacities can be handled with Models 100, 200, and
a A-200. ELTECH's Tablet Feeders have no moving
parts to wear out and no metal parts to corrode.
ELTECH guarantees its tablet feeders for ten years.

PART III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Rowan County Board of Education has applied for an Authorization to Construct
Permit to build a dechlorination unit for the Faith Elementary School WWTP.
According to the Board of Education, this permit application is being made so that the
School's WWTP effluent will meet the NPDES permit chlorine limit of 17 ug/L, which became
effective October 1, 1994. A review of the DMRs for the past year revealed that the School has
been reporting chlorine residuals of less than a detection limit of 200 ug/L. This detection limit is
inadequate to determine if the chlorine limit of 17 ug/L has been met. A Notice of Violation will
be sent for using an inadequate measurement method.
The School has proposed using tablet sodium sulfite dechlorination. The School has not
been properly measuring residual chlorine; therefore, it is unknown if dechlorination is
necessary. Excess sodium sulfite can result in increased measured COD and BOD and decreased
measured dissolved oxygen. The Permit also includes an NH3-N summer limit of 1.0 mg/L and a
winter limit of 1.8 mg/L. The facility has not recently violated these limits; however, sodium
sulfite addition can release the ammonia from chlorinated ammonia compounds created during
disinfection. This may result in elevated ammonia levels. As a result it may be beneficial for the
School to determine if dechlorination is needed before adding sodium sulfite.
This Office has no objection to the construction of a dechlorination unit for the subject
WWTP. However, it would be advisable to determine the actual amount of chlorine in the

discharge in order to avoid the problems that can occur as a result of excess sodium sulfite
addition. Nevertheless, this Office recommends issuing the Authorization to Construct Permit.

Dear Mr. Goodrich:
CtA��'
Enclosed you will find three sets of Engineering plans
and Specifications depicting and describing the proposed
improvements to the existing wastewater disposal facility at
Faith Elementary School, along with my check #5979, drawn in
the amount of 8100 on David A. Roberts Commercial Account, as
payment of the "Authorization to Construct" processing fee.
On behalf of the Owner, I request that you review these
documents, and that you 'issue an "Authorization to Construct"
to the Owner, so that work can begin on this project. The
Owner's address is: Rowan -Salisbury Schools Maintenance
Department, 515 North Clay Street, Salisbury, N.C. 28144.
Their phone number is [phone], and fax [phone].
The work proposed to be done at this site includes the
construction of wo low brick masonr walls, w'th piping and
tab Let_ dechlorinator unit attached there o, to form a chamber
for"dec Lori ion within the existing concrete channel
currently bei—ng'uued for steccatps effluent
after chlorination and prior to its final discharge into the
receiving sire m. These improvements will allow the operator
to reduce the chlorine content of the final effluent prior to
its discharge into the receiving stream. This work will
result in the elimination of one of the currently 16 steps
along the existing concrete channe e ng used for step
aeration of treated effluent, leaving 15 drops to provide the
needed aeration. '
Please let me know if you have any questions, need
additional information, or if I can be of further service to
you. Your help with this project is greatly appreciated.

WASTEWATER DISPOSAL SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
FAITH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
FAITH ... RbAD/MAIN STREET AT GARDNER STREET
ROWAN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
ROWAN—SALISBURY SCHOOLS, OWNER
NPDES Permit * NCO035921
Existing Conditions:
Faith Elementary School is located on a tract along the
northeastern intersection of Faith Road (Main Street) and
Gardner Street, near the northern margin of the Town of Faith
in Litaker Township of Rowan County. This campus contains
several old classroom buildings built many years ago, with
more recent construction.
The -existing wastewater treatment system for this"school'
consisted of an 8,000 gallon capacity extended aeration
package treatment plant, twin bell syphons within a 2,700
gallon capacity concrete dosing tank, with flow to a 78' by
40' sand filter bed, flowing through a chlorination chamber
and over concrete channel step aeration for final treatment
and disposal. The concrete channel being used for step
aeration, which extends a distance -of approximately 106 feet
from the chlorination outlet to the receiving stream,
contains 16 steps of approximately 6" vertical drop each. The
side walls of the concrete channel consist of formed and
poured concrete vertical surfaces, and the top of these walls
are sloped downward from the area of the existing
chlorination tank toward the discharge point. Chain link
fencing around the wastewater treatment facility is used to
cover the top of --the- concrete channe•1- near the •plant; and
said fencing slopes downward with the top of the concrete
wall at the upper limits of the concrete channel.
Design Wasteflow_
The projected long—range.enroll for this school through
the '97 / 198 school year is 439 students and 26 staff for a
total of 465 people. The design wasteflow is determined at
12 gallons per person per day, or 5,268 gallons per day for
this school. This wasteflow will occur 5 days per'week
(maximum) for 9 1/2 months per year.
As a safety factor in designing the wastewater disposal
system.i.mprovements at this -school, use. an additional.
projected wasteflow of 25% or 1,317 GPD, for a total design
wasteflow for safety purposes of 6,585 GPD in designing the
proposed dechlorination equipment.
INFORMATION FOR BIDDERS PAGE 1 OF 2

Pro op sed Wastewater Disposal System Improvements:
Continue to use all existing components of the existing
wastewater disposal system. At the concrete drainageway being
used for step aeration leading from the outlet of the
existing chlorination tank to the point of final discharge at
the receiving stream, build 2 low masonry walls within this
concrete drainageway to form a dechlorination chamber, and
install..a..tablet dechlorinator within said new chamber, for
additional treatment of the effluent prior to final disposal.
The first low masonry wall shall be 4" thick by 10 1/2" high
by 3'-4" long, shall contain a 12" long pipe sleeve of 3"
diameter Schedule 40 PVC built into the wall attached to the
tablet dechlorinator unit, along with a 12" long pipe sleeve
of 4" diameter Schedule 40 PVC built into the wall at a
higher elevation for accommodating excess flows. The second
low masonry wall shall be 4" thick by 16" high by 3'-4" long,
shall contain a 12" long pipe sleeve of 4" diameter Schedule
40 PVC built into the wall, along with a 12" long pipe sleeve
of 4" diameter Schedule 40 PVC built into the wall at a
higher elevation for accommodating excess flows.
The construction of these two low walls with piping and
_. .. echlorinator unit..,....w.i.1.1 .result, An. the. creation of a
dec ion chamber that is 3.33 feet wide by 6.67 feet
long by 0.50 feet high, containing 11.10 cubic feet or 83
gallons of dechlorination storage capacity.,If the average
flow rate through the plant equals 15.5 gallons per minute,
then the dechlorination contact time will be about 5.35
minutes.

SPECIFICATIONS:
BRICK AND MORTAR:
Use kiln fired Grade "A" common brick conforming to ASTM
Specification C-62, Grade MW. Masonry work shall be laid out
on a nominal 3/8" wide joint, with 6 courses high equals 1'-
4" (16"), and 2 units long equals 1'-4" (16"). Lay brick
plumb, level, and true to line. All head joints and bed
joints in brick walls shall be completely filled with mortar.
Use Type "B" Mortar for brick laying having minimum
compressive strength of 1,000 psi at 28 days of curing time.
Mix mortar as follows: 1 part by volume Portland cement; 1
part to 1 1/4 parts by volume Type "S" lime; 4 parts to 6
parts by volume masonry sand; and Plasticizer per
instructions of the manufacturer. In lieu of the lime -cement
mortar mix described above, substitute a prepared mortar mix,
being sure to follow the formulation of the mixture as
clearly marked on the container. At the proper time during
the curing of the mortar within the brick wall, all head
joints and bed joints are to be uniform using a concave
tooled joint at exposed faces. Where pipe is laid within
brick masonry walls, the pipe shall be 4" diameter Schedule
40 PVC, and the brick shall be cut of the proper size to
continue their running bond and to fit correctly around the
pipe. Fill all joints in brick masonry wall around the pipe
with mortar, and trim excess mortar for a neat and first
class appearance.
At the existing concrete step aeration drainage channel
leading away from the discharge end of the existing
wastewater treatment plant at Faith Elementary School, build
t-he walls -of the proposed dechlorination chamber usin .g btick
masonry construction as shown on engineering plans. Install
support brackets as needed to anchor the dechlorination unit
into place within the dechlorination chamber. All ferrous
metal surfaces of support brackets and anchors shall be
thoroughly coated with coal tar epoxy, upon installation of
the dechlorination unit, to prevent their corrosion.
DECHLORINATION EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES:
The tablet dechlorination dispensing unit to be
installed into the dechlorination chamber, shall be Sanuril
Wastewater Dechlorinator, Model #100, as fabricated by
Diamond Shamrock Corporation of Chardon, Ohio, or approved
equal-.- It shall be --of -one-piece- -construction with 2 'removable
feed tubes, capable of treating wastewater from a sewage
treatment plant with a daily capacity of 10,000 gallons anda
peak flow of 35 gallons per minute. It shall be manufactured

(approach taken, correspondence with region, EPA, etc.)
This is a zero flow facility. The previous permit was issued 11/1/91 with the old zero flow
language. A condition of the permit requires the school to perform an alternatives analysis, with
limits of 511 to become effective 10/1/94. TSB does not have a copy of any alternatives analysis.
The facility,has had no violations in the past year. In stream data.appears to be OK.
Staff report states that the school will be connected to the City of Salisbury's sewer system in the
future.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health
and Natural Resources.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended,
33 USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily
discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found
by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this
sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitatioh 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 11
Page 2 of 14
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average"
in Part I of the permit.
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum
of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average
monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for
samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" under "Other 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 H
Page 3 of 14
The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a
calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I
of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows
recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of
sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility
which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the
facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when
there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: - A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the
time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing
the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be
determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval
between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily
flow at the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional
to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be
no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall
be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a
detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be
collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in
number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in
no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6)
hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.

Part II
Page 4 of 14
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the
product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values.
The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms
of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of
zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective
flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that
reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
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.

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

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.

Part II
Page 10 of 14
6. Removed Substances
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.
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.
SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS
1. Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the
volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than
daily shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire
period which the sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points
specified in this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is
diluted by any other wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall
not be changed without notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority.
2. R02orting
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each
month and reported on a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (DEM No.
MR 1,1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director, DEM, postmarked no later
than the 30th day following the completed reporting period.
The first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in
the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of
discharge. Duplicate signed copies of these, and all other reports required herein, shall be
submitted to the following address:
Division of Environmental Management
Water Quality Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
Post Office Box 27687
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611

Part H
Page 11 of 14
3. Flow Measurements
Appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific
practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements
of the volume of monitored discharges. The devices shall be installed, calibrated and
maintained to ensure that the accuracy of the measurements are consistent with the accepted
capability of that type of device. Devices selected shall be capable of measuring flows with
a maximum deviation of less than 10% from the true discharge rates throughout the range
of expected discharge volumes. Once -through condenser cooling water flow which is
monitored by pump logs, or pump hour meters as specified in Part I of this permit and
based on the manufacturer's pump curves shall not be subject to this requirement.
4. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations
published pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts,
and to regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act, as Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136.
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must
produce minimum detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge
requirements and all data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or
lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are determined capable of
achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below permit discharge requirements,
then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level)
approved method must be used.
5. Penalties for Tampering
The Clean Water Act provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly
renders inaccurate, any monitoring device or method required to be maintained under this
permit shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 per
violation, or by imprisonment for not more than two years per violation, or by both.
6. Records Retention
The permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including all calibration

ROWAN COUNTY
Dear Permittee: j
The subject permit issued on 12/01/86 expires on 11/30/91. North Carolina
General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.1(c) requires that an application for permit renewal
be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date. As of the date of this
letter, the Division of Environmental Management had not received an application for
renewal.
If operation of a discharge or waste treatment facility is to occur after the
permit's expiration date, or if continuation of the permit is desired, it must not be
allowed to expire. A renewal request must be submitted no later than 180 days prior
to the permit's expiration date. Operation of the waste treatment works or
continuation of a discharge after the expiration date would constitute a violation of
NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per !:11
day. If continuation of the permit is desired, failure to request renewal at least }
180 days prior to expiration will result in a civil _assessment of at least $300.00;
larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
A renewal application shall consist of a letter requesting permit renewal along 'y
with the appropriate completed and signed application form (copy attached), submitted
in triplicate, referenced in Title 15,of the North Carolina Administrative Code (15
NCAC) Subchapter 2H .0105(a). Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of

analysis in accordance with Part 122.21. A processing .fee must be submitted with the
application. In addition to penalties refer.enced.above) a permit renewal request

processing fee is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate,
listed in the first five categories of facilities. Presently, no facility is allowed
to submit a fee for the general permits listed in the schedule since the Environmental
Protection Agency has not approved the State of North Carolinas general permit. If
the facility covered by this permit,00ntains some type of treatment works, a narrative
,'description of ,the;iluaie management plan must be submitted with the application for
renewal. .

permit's expiration date, or if continuation of the permit is desired, it must not be
allowed to expire. A renewal request must be submitted no later than 180 days prior
to the permit's expiration date. Operation of the waste treatment works or
continuation of a discharge after the expiration date would constitute a violation of
NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per
day. If continuation of the permit is desired, failure to request renewal at least
180 days prior to expiration will result in a civil assessment of at least $300.00,
larger penalties may be assessed depending tipon the delinquency of the request.
A renewal application shall consist of a Letter :r_egiaesting permit renewal along
with the appropriate completed and signed application form (copy attached), submitted
in triplicate, referenced in Title 15 of the North Carolina Administrative Code (15
NCAC) Subchapter 2H .0105(a). Primary industries .Li-sted in Appendix A of Title 40 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1.22 shall. also submit: a priority pollutant
analysis in accordance with Part 122.21. A processing fee must be submitted with the
application. In addition to penalties ref:ererrced above, n permit renewal request
received after the expiration date will be considered as a new application and will
require the higher application fee.

Attached is a copy of the fee schedule from 15 NCAC 2B.0105(b). The application
processing fee is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate,
listed in the first five categories of facilities. Presently; no facility is allowed
to submit a fee for the general permits listed in the schedule since the Environmental
Protection Agency has not approved the State of North Carolina's general permit. If
the facility covered by this permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative
description of the sludge management plan must- be submitted with the application for
renewal.
The Environmental Management Commission adopted revised rules on October 1, 1990
(attached), requiring the payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities. You
will be billed separately for that fee (if applicable), after your permit is -approved.
The letter requesting renewal, the completed Permit application, and appropriate
fee should be sent to:

3: Definitions
a. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected in a one -
month period. The monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria..is
the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -month period.
b. The weekly average, other than for.fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during a
one -week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria
is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -week period.
c. Flow, M3/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the
24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the
arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar
month.
d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the
summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual
values
M5

Part I
Permit No. NC
e. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the
Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal
to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equiva-
lent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of
the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric
mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1).
f. Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following:
(1) Not less than four influent.or effluent portions collected
at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and composited
in proportion to flow.
'(2) Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions
collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional
to the flow.
(3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over
a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow.
g. Grab Sample: A "grab sample" is a single influent or effluent
portion which is not a composite sample. The sample(s) shall be
collected at the period(s) most representative of the total discharge.
4. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC
regulations published pursuant to N. C. G. S. 143-215.63 et seq, The
Water and Air Quality Reporting Act, and to regulations published pursuant
