We did experience a result that wag greater than the permit discharge limits. Your permit has both a monthly maximum and a daily maximum[ Your facility exceeded the permit discharge limits on the items listed below: BOD 59.4 mg/1 on the 7th Monthly Average compliant FECAL COLIFORM >600 colonies/100 mis on the 7"' Monthly Average compliant This gave a daily maximum violation on one day and did not give a monthly violation for both the BOD and the Fecal Coliform. We determined that the cause of the violation was due to the blower operating Plant #1 had tripped out over the weekend. The blower was reset, and the water quality did improve from that facility. The effluent of the other two facilities was very clear and obviously compliant. The chlorine residuals from the parallel units was near 1.0 mg/1 and the dechlor was <15 ug/1 as permitted. Chlorine tablets were increased on the discharge of plant 1 and 2 while the plant 1 recovered from this non- compliant status. The facility regained compliance by the second week. You may receive a monetary fine for this month. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 1 of 18 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS Section A. Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar -days between sampling -events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water -Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual 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 thispermit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous. sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use ' of a flow recorder and Version 712009 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may' only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DWO or "the Division" The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]' shall be considered =1. Version 712009 q im DES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. Monthly Average (concentration limitl The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration hmitl The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(l) of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week.

Authorization is hereby granted for the improvements to Dana Hill Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). In general, this ATC allows: is • The proportional splitting of flow to the 0.02 MGD package plant and the; refurbished 0.01 MGD package plant, • The addition of a 500 gallon baffled chamber for dechlorination of treated wastewater from both package plants (0.02 MGD and 0.01 MGD), • An effluent composite sampler to be installed at the end of all treatment components (for final effluent sampling of treated wastewater), I' • and all additional piping and appurtenances. Once construction under this ATC has been completed and an Engineer's Certificate has been submitted, the permittee is authorized to operate the units listed above, with permitted limits as specified in the 1VPDES permit NCO073393 issued November�8, 2000. This Authorization to Construct permit will allow the increase in permitted flow from 6.02 MGD to 0.03 MGD design flow for Dana Hill WWTP. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this Division, such .as the construction of additional wastewater treatment units or modification of treatment units. This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with NPDES Permit No. NCO073393 issued November 8, 2000, and shall be subject to revocation unless the wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in the permit. The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of;in accordance with G.S. 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.

The request is seeking permission to construct appurtenances necessary to reactivate a 10,000 gpd package plant to be operated in parallel with a 20,000 gpd plant currently in operation. Specifically Jon Laughter proposes to construct a tube type effluent dechlorination system, relocate the recording flow meter, install a composite sampler and modify an existing influent flow splitter to serve both plants. On July 7, 2004 I visited the plant in the company of the owner and ORC. I recommend -that you issue the requested Authorization to Construct based on the information we currently have in our hands. I have confidence that the ORC can take the plans and modify the Dana -Hill sewage treatment plant in such a way that it will work quite satisfactorily. As always, I would enjoy the opportunity to talk to you if we need to discuss this matter further. 73393mem.04 ` 2090 U.S. Highway 70, Swannanoa, North Carolina 28778 '.telephone 828-296-4500 FAX 828-296-7043 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper ROY 4>0 /Ail(D/ 11�6) 4 �F WATF,Q North Carolina De Environment and O C Division of Water (919) 733-5083 Resources JUN 1 1 M WATER oUALf1Y �sEL'TION 7� IH ��t eGIONAL OFFfCE ot/ 3�sr c 4A eiL = 4 Q .4c& w s A?,Piuv" N 0. 0 Z AA40 PLPWr (2/tS /119) Vr nl `t41 is uN'C&.STP,+J C>l )l)s -MA ,*" W ou `D NAgG 1 f+jK& Arc fbA, Ftow paoFb0,-naArrlJ5 (IP ''(dy WpfntTeV jb Use 1 c 0.0( A40 PLANT (ouR- W9-YLS7-AfJ Df AJS WPS Pwr our of 3;&vjrC-S).

According to both BIMS and our ATC assignments log, the last thing we received from them was an ATC request for expansion in Dec 1998 (issued Feb 1999). Also, no sign of an acknowledgement letter we send out in response to every ATC request. So there's no indication we ever got the 2003 package. - Mike T Michael E. Templeton, P.E.

Jon Laughter submitted a completion certification for it on August 19, 2002. 073393ACB was issued on February 18, 1999, for a new 0.02 MGD plant. No completion certification was submitted, though Laughter did say that the plant was "in service" in the letter accompanying the certification for 0073393AC. Permit 073393ACB states that another AtC "for flow -proportioning facilities must be requested" before the Permittee can operate the two treatment trains together [for a total capacity of 0.03 MGD]. There's no record that the owner (Vito Montaperto), the engineer (Laughter) or their contract operator (Harry James of James & James) has ever requested such an AtC. Vito called me in November asking for proof we had received the completion certificate for the 0.01 MGD plant; I faxed it to him. Laughter called me in December asking for the same thing; I faxed it to him. You asked for it last month - I faxed it to you. Harry James called yesterday, and I faxed it to him. It sounds from your message that what they really wanted was an AtC for operating both plants together, and we have NO RECORD THAT ANYONE EVER REQUESTED IT. Further, if any of the parties involved has asked me for "approval to operate both plants", I could have researched the problem long ago. However, I received a succession of calls asking for approval "to use the 10,000-gallon plant", which I provided. Thus my confusion and extreme frustration, and thus our current problem. If they want to operate the 0.01 MGD train, they can. If they want to operate the 0.02 MGD train, they can. If they want to operate the two trains together, they must request an AtC and show how flow will be proportioned among the two trains.. I recommend they contact Susan Wilson or Mike Tempeton in our Unit for advice on preparing the AtC request. I don't issue AtCs and could offer little help.

Self -monitoring reports for the month of May, 2000 have indicated that the; Dana -Hill Corporation Wastewater Treatment Facility (NPDES Permit No. NC0073333) showed a monthly average flow of 18,800 gallons per day. The facility is permitted to treat a maximum of 20,000 gallons per day; and the application for the subject project seeks to discharge an additional 11,800 gallons per day to the treatment plant. Based on the monitoring report, the facility does not have the capacity to receive the additional flow: The Division has also noticed that water consumption was in the order of two to three times the amount of flow reported at the facility during this past winter. The City of Hendersonville has confirmed that the flow meter has been checked and is producing reliable information.

No additional sewer line extensions that would become tributary to the Dana -Hill Corporation Wastewater Treatment Facility will be approved until the wastewater' treatment facility has sufficient capacity to accept the additional flow, and the applicant can reassure the Division Director that the facility's flow meter is producing accurate information, as well as provide a satisfactory explanation for the significant discrepancy between water consumption and sewage flow for this past winter.,, If this denial is unacceptable'to you, you have the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty days following receipt of this denial.

Facility Name and Current Address: Dana -Hill Corporation 925 Dana Road Hendersonville, NC 28792 2. Chariges since previous action on NPDES Permit: None. 3. Compare Discharge Point(s) on plans with NPDES Permit application. List of all discharge points: X i No Change _i Change New Latitude: ° ' " Longitude: ° ' ". PART II - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The Dana -Hill Retirement Community is currently served by a 10,000 g.p.d. secondary ,system consisting of an influent pump station, flow equalization basin with grinder pumps, aeration basin, clarifier and effluent chlorination. Effluent limits are standard secondary limits with the exception of the inclusion of ammonia limits during the summer months. Monthly average flows currently approach or exceed 10,000 g.p.d.. Violations of some effluent limit has become routine. Civil penalties have, for the past several months, been assessed for all violations. It is being proposed to install a dual units 20,000 g.p.d. secondary system with continuous flow measuring and recording, effluent chlorination and dechlorinat-ion and aerated sludge holding. The existing 10,000, g.p.d. system will be left in place but not utilized at the present time. Should the owners ever wish to place the existing units in service, it will be necessary to construct a flow splitting device capable of diverting 2/3 of the flow to the new plant and 1/3 of the flow to the old plant. There is no reasonable alternative to the proposed system. -The nearest private sewer is approximately 7/10 of a mile from the site of the present sewage treatment plant serving Dana -Hill. The attached January 13, 1999 letter from Veto Montaperto says that the -longest power outage experienced during the last seven years is two hours. The power grid serving Dana -Hill is sufficiently reliable that no form of alternative.,.,. power for the new sewage treatment plant is required. It is my recommendation that the construction plans for this plant expansion be reviewed and if found satisfactory, an Authorization to Construct be issued. It should not surprise anyone to hear me say that a speedy review would be appreciated by the applicant. As already mentioned,the existing sewage treatment plant is treating flows at or near.design capacity with the result that violations of the permit ammonia limit and consequently, the assessment of civil penalties have become routine. 73393AC.98 C � a - I Pre ed y/Date W r Qual y Re tonal Su visor -2- January 13, 1999 Mr. Roy Xi Davis Regional Supervisor Division of Water Quality North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources 59 Woodfin Place Asheville, NC 28801-2414 Re: Alternative Power Source Letter Dana -Hill Corporation NPDES Permit Number NCO073393 Dear Mr. Davis: J4AI / , Your letter of January 8,-1998 requested me to submit to your office a letter confirming our power reliability requirement. Yesterday, I talked with Darnel Waters of Duke Power, one of the local engineers. He confirmed my suspicions as to why our, power here at Dana Hill Community has never been off for more than two hours in the last seven years. He stated that our proximity to the substation that feeds highway 64 from Hendersonville to Edneyville gives us an indirect benefit of having to have our power turned on before anyone else in the outer areas. Duke Power must work outward from the substations to restore lost power and we are close and require service before others further out can be turned on. This makes sense to me as in the seven years through both ice storms and the "Storm of The Century" we have never been without power for any significant amount of time. The longest was for about two hours during the last ice storm. Therefore, I feel that with this knowledge the alternative power requirement is satisfied. Also, I would like to further confirm to you in writing a phone conversation that we had back in the first part of December, 1998. You had made a visual inspection at Dana Hill Community and expressed some concerns about pipe that you observed lying out in the upper portion of our community in an undeveloped tract. I want to confirm to you that the pipe is there solely for storage .until which time the NCDENR has issued me a permit to construct that next phase. I will not be placing any pipe in the ground untilthe permit is received from the state level and all proper permits are received from local government. Also, no new permits will be requested by Dana Hill Corporation until the new treatment plant is' up and functioning. with NCDENR's approval. Sincerely, Vito Montaperto .

Circle Suite G Mif f or�� OH 45150 PH: 5i3.2 48.4067 FAX: Sri 2 4.8.59" INTRODUCTION As our nation grew and became industrialized, areas of growth caused concentrations of businesses and populations. These concentrations produced quantities of industrial and human wastes that pit privies and septic tanks could no longer treat adequately. This led to the development of sewers as a means to convey wastes away from the population centers. Early systems, called combined sewers, collected both wastes and runoff from rainfall. Later, systems were developed to carry either waste or surface runoff and were called sanitary sewers or storm sewers, respectively. The type of collection system that discharges into the wastewater treatment plant is an important factor, as will be discussed later in this manual. Wastewater collection systems eliminated many health problems associated . with urban life; nonetheless, all the wastes were being discharged from a few pipes into the nearest stream. As areas developed, more waste was generated; new towns developed along rivers, thereby reducing the distances between discharges. Eventually, the streams could no longer handle the waste without showing damaging effects. Rivers began to have foul odors and were often covered with floating solids. In some cases, the pollution caused the death of fish and other aquatic life. Wastewater treatment processes were developed by observing what happened in nature. As waste entered the stream, the dissolved oxygen in the water decreased and bacteria populations increased. As the waste moved downstream, the. bacteria would eventually consume all the organic material. Bacterial populations would then decrease, the dissolved oxygen in the stream would be replenished, and the whole process would be repeated at the next wastewater discharge point. This natural process worked well until the distance between discharge points became so close that the dissolved oxygen content in the river could not be replaced quickly enough through natural means. Waste material 'in domestic wastewater is generally organic (biodegradable), which means that microorganisms can use this matter as their food source. As aerobic microorganisms consume the organic material oxygen is also consumed. An indication of the amount of organic material that can be consumed by the aerobic microorganisms is called the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). By measuring the amount of oxygen the bacteria consume, the amount of biodegradable material in the waste may be determined. From an operation and maintenance standpoint, a plant should be installed, if possible, with the tank walls extending approximately 150 mm (6 in) above the ground. Such an installation allows ease of servicing, prevents surface runoff from entering the plant, and pro- vides some insulation in colder weather. Plants installed completely below grade must have extension walls or well defined diversion ditching to prevent surface runoff from entering the plant. Plants located totally above ground are difficult to maintain unless walkways are provided around the entire plant; in addition, such plants will require insulation in cold weather areas. A chain link fence, 1.8 in (6 ft) in height, flush to the ground, with a locked entrance gate, and topped with three strands of angularly installed barbed wire, is recommended to prevent vandalism and tampering, and to discourage children from entering. A minimum of 1.2 m (4 ft) of working space between the fence and plant at all points is necessary for maintenance. A building constructed over the plant can be used instead of a fence if camouflage is desired or if the plant is located in a cold climate. The building walls, like the fence, must beat least 1.2 m (4 ft) from any part of the plant to allow maintenance; the building must be ventilated, well lit, and have adequate headroom above the plant generally 2 m (7 ft). The building provides additional insulation in very cold weather and prevents pine needles, leaves, and other foreign objects from entering the plant. Housing also muffles noise from the blowers. THE PLANT SHOULD NOT BE STARTED UP UNTIL THE MANUFACTURER'S MANUAL HAS BEEN READ AND UNDERSTOOD. If plant controls are complicated, the manufacturer should be required to provide training as part of the bid document; training is recommended for all installations. Additional technical assistance may be provided by local regulatory agencies or an operations and maintenance services firm. Metal and concrete are the two most common materials used in the manufacture of package plants. Among the advantages of concrete; it is less expensive if a short shipping distance is involved; it will not corrode; and it has a longer life expectancy. Some advantages of metal; it is less subject to leakage; it is easier to service and alter; it has a high salvage value and lighter weight; and there is less possibility of solid deposition between clarifier hopper and outer tank than might occur in concrete tanks because of poor field filleting. Motors, blowers, and control panels should not be mounted on top of the plant. This is because on -plant locations interfere with the operator's maintenance procedures, all control equipment is exposed to a more corrosive atmosphere, and tools and equipment are more likely to be dropped into the plant while making repairs or servicing equipment. The package wastewater treatment plant must be installed in a level position to work properly. A steel plant is usually placed on a level concrete pad that extends horizontally at least one-third meter (1 foot) in all directions beyond the base of the plant. A concrete plant is usually set on damp, well compacted, level sand. In all cases, the possibility of settling must be avoided. Because of the segmented design of concrete plants, it is important Protective Devices Most large treatment plants are designed to allow wastewater to flow through a primary classifier for removal of settleable or floatable materials. This primary settling.or treatment usually removes all grit, sand, and grease and reduces the organic loading on the aeration chamber by approximately 30%. Small package wastewater treatment plants do not have separate units for primary treatment; instead, they combine primary and biological treatment. Small plants have protective devices similar to those of larger plants. Protective pretreatment devices are designed to remove nontreatable material from the wastewater before it reaches the aeration chamber, or to precondition the wastewater and make it easier to treat in the aeration chamber. Many regulatory agencies consider the equalization tank' a pretreatment device. Equalization was discussed as a separate topic in Chapter 3 because of the numerous concepts its operation involves. SCREENS ._.... . __. . Although most bar screens installed on small package wastewater treatment plants are similar to those in Figure n 1 its location and design have caused some problems. The bar screen is designed to remove large untreatable material from the wastewater flow. Most manufacturers place the comminutor before the bar screen; this causes nontreatable material to be ground into small pieces and passed through the bar screen. Bar screens should be fabricated from 12 min. by 50 mm (0.5 in. by 2 in.) bars rails and 12 mm (0.5 in.) diameter rods. This eliminates the necessity for transverse stiffeners, permitting easy cleaning of the screen. If the bar screen is located in the aeration chamber, the bottom one-third should be. under water. The rolling action in the aeration chamber will break up large organic solids, thereby preventing buildup of treatable solids on the bar screen. The top of the bar screen should be well below the inlet pipe so that solids do not block the inlet pipe and cause wastewater to back up in the line. Protective Devices AERATION CHAMBER .

The aeration chamber is the key part of the secondary treatment plant; bacteria and other microorganisms thrive and multiply here as they consume the food (organic material) in the wastewater. This aerobic biological process biological in that bacteria and other microorganisms are essential to the process and aerobic, . in that these microorganisms need air or dissolved oxygen to survive is called an activated sludge treatment system. The microorganisms or "bugs" are typical of all living things in that they need food, oxygen, and a compatible environment in which to thrive and multiply. The aeration chamber and the clarifier house the microorganisms; most of the biological action occurs in the aeration chamber. The clarifier allows the microorganisms to settle, producing a clear discharge. The food and water needed by the microorganisms is supplied by the wastewater, the food being the organic matter in the wastewater As the wastewater enters the aeration chamber, it is mixed with the microorganisms and aerated by either diffused • or mechanical aerators. The aeration provides the needed oxygen, and the mixing brings the microorganisms in contact with the organic material. This mixture of wastewater and microorganisms in the aeration chamber is called mixed liquor. ADSORPTION AND ABSORPTION. As the food comes in contact with the bacteria chamber, it is broken down by two processes: adsorption and absorption. Adsorption refers to the attachment of food to the outer slime layer that surrounds the microorganism. Most. organic particles are adsorbed by the bacteria within 0.5, hour of entering the aeration chamber. Absorption refers to the food being eaten or taken into the body through the cell membrane. The microorganisms release chemicals called enzymes that break down the adsorbed (attached) food particles so that they can be absorbed (taken in) through the bacteria's cell wall. These processes are illus- trated in Figure 5.1 ACTIVATED SLUDGE. As the microorganisms are mixed in the aeration chamber, they stick together to form a brownish floc called activated sludge. This floc is formed properly only when conditions in the aeration chamber are favorable. The correct amount of food for the 3 material such as sodium bicarbonate or lime. Although sodium bicarbonate is more costly, it is practical for use in smaller plants as it does not produce the inorganic sludge associated with lime and will not raise the pH to above 7.5. The chemical characteristics of sodium bicarbonate give the operator of a small extended package aeration plant a safe guard against raising the pH too high. If the pH is too high (above 8.5), it may be lowered by using a weak acid, such as acetic acid (vinegar). Problems with the pH being too low are much more common than the pH being too high. Chemicals should be added to the wastewater plant in sufficient quantities to raise or lower the pH one- half unit. The plant should be dosed only once per day. After the pH has been adjusted to an acceptable level, the plant may require daily dosing to maintain the proper pH. If the pH of a plant changes drastically from one day to the next, the influent should be monitored. AERATION As mentioned earlier, aeration performs a dual function: it provides dissolved oxygen for the microorganisms; and it mixes the raw wastewater with the aeration chamber mixed liquor. The oxygen supply must be sufficient to maintain a minimum dissolved oxygen concentration of 2.0 mg/L in the aeration chamber at all times. If an inadequate amount of air is supplied to the aeration chamber, the aerobic bacteria will die. Anaerobic bacteria (those that live without free oxygen) will begin to grow, producing a:disagreeable rotten egg odor. A third type of bacteria, called facultative, can live under either condition. The specific organisms involved in the process are also important. There are -both desirable and undesirable types of organisms. Although many organisms may use the organics in the waste with nearly the same efficiency, some will settle Out better than others in the clarifiers. This is where the organics that have been either adsorbed or synthesized into cellular material in the aeration tanks are finally removed from the wastewater. Desirable microorganisms are those that clump together and"form a gelatinous floc that readily settles out. Undesirable organisms are characterized by stringy or threadlike forms known as filaments; thus, these organisms are called "filamentous growths." Because of their light weight and structure, filamentous growths do not settle rapidly and are easily washed out of the clarifiers. Whether desirable or undesirable organisms predominate depends on the environment and on the sludge wasting rate, conditions which can be controlled by the operator. The aeration basin must be kept uniformly aerated and mixed, thereby providing oxygen for the bacteria, keeping the solids in suspension, and allowing a rapid mix of the raw wastewater with the bacteria for oxidation and synthesis of the organic matter. The aeration basin should be inspected each time a site visit is made to determine that uniform mixing is occurring. Improper mixing in the aeration chamber could result in sludge deposits that may become septic, thus hindering proper operation of the aeration chamber. On most small extended aeration treatment plants the aeration chamber is rectangular, with the longer side parallel to the incoming flow. Some units are square, with an aerator located in the center. Wastewater enters the aeration chamber at the head end of the chamber and flows into the through a baffled crossover located at the opposite end. The circular plant has the 'same units as the rectangular plant. DIFFUSERS Air (oxygen) is supplied to the aeration chamber from the blowers to vertical downfeed pipes (drop pipes), usually located along one of the longer sides of the chamber, then into horizontal pipes (lateral) at the bottom of the tank, and then into the air diffusers. Each drop pipe has a plug valve so that the flow of air can be adjusted. Figure 5.3 shows . a typical diffuser assembly. This arrangement causes a wall of air bubbles to rise on one side of the tank, carrying wastewater from the bottom of the tank toward the top and across the water surface. A rolling action results which, when combined with incom- ing flow, causes the wastewater in the aeration tank to travel a corkscrew path from end to end. This action provides excellent mixing and gives the bacteria an opportunity to obtain both food and oxygen necessary to thrive. Mechanical aerators may also he used to cause the proper mixing and aeration. The air piping should be below the plant grating or otherwise safely located to prevent a tripping hazard. Use of an air pipe header, as opposed to an integral air channel inside metal structures, is suggested for convenience in maintenance. A check valve should be installed on the discharge side of all blowers to reduce solids that flow into the diffusers when the blowers are off. This will increase the time between cleaning the diffusers and downfeed pipes. Each air downfeed pipe should have a plug valve with a disconnect on the diffuser side of the pipe valve to allow removal and servicing of downfeed pipes while the blowers are running. Plug valves are recommended because they, require little maintenance, do not vibrate open or shut, and allow visual evaluation of their position without having to remove the grating. The downfeed pipes should be removed carefully, because their supports will not usually prevent them from falling into the aeration basin when disconnected. Plug values will generally be wide open unless a minor adjustment is necessary to balance the roll above each downfeed pipe. Balancing is done when all downfeed pipes and diffusers are clean and intact. Diffusers must be cleaned periodically. Cleaning will require the removal of the R return sludge oxygen demand is distributed throughout the aeration chamber. SKIMMER LINE The other (smaller) line from the clarifier to the aeration chamber is the skimmer. The skimmer returns floating solids from the clarifier to the aeration basin. It is critical that only the minimum air required be supplied to the skimmer. If more air is supplied than is needed, .the diffusers or the return sludge air lift pump will be robbed of air. Additionally, excessive wastewater will be returned to the aeration tank, thus decreasing the hydraulic detention time in the clarifier and inhibiting settling. Vibration in the air lines may vibrate the packing nuts for the air control valves loose, making air adjustments difficult. The operator should keep all valve packing nuts snug so that adjustments do not change between plant inspections. FROTH SPRAY SYSTEM The froth spray system consists of a submersible pump, located in the clarifier just below the surface, which pumps clear liquid from this chamber into a manifold loc_afed in the aeration chamber. The manifold is on the side opposite the air diffusers and has nozzles attached to allow: the clear liquid spray to be directed down and to the sides. The froth spray reduces foam in the aeration chamber. The froth spray pump should he operated only when necessary. Foam may appear in the aeration chamber under certain operating conditions. The three most common occasions during which foam is produced are: • During initial start up; • When excessive detergents are present in the wastewater; and • When the sludge remains in the treatment plant too long. The foam during initial start-up is very light tan in color and fluffy it will dissipate as the solids increase in the mixed liquor. Foam caused by detergents is extra light and may easily overflow the aeration chamber. The froth spray is especially effective in suppressing this foam. Foam caused by old sludge has a heavier consistency and will be much darker than other foams. The best way to eliminate this foam is to waste some of the old sludge. Reasons and methods for�wasting sludge are discussed in Sludge Wasting. BLOWERS AND MOTORS Two blowers and motors, each with sufficient aerating capacity to supply all air needs, are recommended. This arrangement extends blower life by allowing for alternate use, and provides 100 % standby in the event of an emergency. There are several types of low pressure blowers, for small package extended aeration plants. The manufacturer's operating manual should indicate the proper type and size of blower for the plant and give all maintenance procedures. If a manufacturer's manual is unavailable, the blower nameplate will provide all information required to identify .the blower. The manufacturer should then be contacted to obtain all maintenance information. Blower maintenance such as changing oil and grease is important to successful operation. The operator should determine what maintenance is required for the blower and follow the manufacturer's recommendations exactly. The blower is a critical element in the operation of the treatment plant. Blowers are sized according to two criteria: to provide sufficient oxygen for the microorganisms; and to provide for mixing in the aeration chamber and sludge holding tank for the operation of all air lift pumps. The second criterion requires more air and, therefore, determines the. size of the blower. Without sufficient wastewater loading, continuous operationof the blower will lead to overaeration, which results in poor settling in the clarifier. Bleeding off excessive amounts of air or drastically changing the motor sheave sizes to adjust for the proper dissolved oxygen may result in insufficient mixing in the aeration chamber. One way to provide adequate mixing and aeration is to operate the blower.on a time clock. (See next section.) An air filter should be attached to the intake of the blower. This filter may be of the disposable type (paper) or the permanent type (wire mesh), and must be kept clean for maximum blower life. The advantage of paper filters is that they are disposable. Steel mesh filters must be washed periodically. Failure to keep the inlet air filter clean is one of the most common maintenance problems. The blower has a normal discharge pressure of 20 to 40 kPa (3 to 6 psi). It is highly recommended that a pressure relief valve be installed on the blower discharge to protect it against excessive pressures, should an air line become plugged or an air valve be accidentally closed. This valve may be a dead-weight type or a spring -loaded type. The deadweight type is more reliable, but must be kept well lubricated. The gaskets on the spring -loaded type decay with time and must he replaced. A check valve on the blower discharge is also highly recommended. It will help prevent water from entering the drop pipe when the blower is off. If the %I as far as possible from the inlet to allow for maximum settling time. As water flows over the discharge weir a slight upward current is produced that settling solids must overcome. If the overflow weir is not level, water will flow over only a portion of its length, producing a higher discharge velocity. If this current is great enough, solids could be lost from .the. clarifier. To minimize the discharge velocity, the overflow weir must be level so that water flows evenly over its entire length. To prevent floating solids from leaving the clarifier, a discharge baffle is placed in front of the overflow weir. This baffle should only extend slightly below the water, as its sole purpose is to keep floating solids in the clarifier. The inlet to the clarifier should also be baffled to help disperse the flow evenly and dissipate energy. The clarifier must remain as quiet as possible for the solids to settle. Improper operation of skimmers return sludge pumps, and froth spray pumps may also agitate the clarifier and interfere with settling. As solids enter the clarifier and begin to, settle, a distinct solids -to -liquid interface develops. The height of this interface from the bottom of the clarifier 'is called the depth of the sludge blanket. The top portion of this blan- ket acts as a filter when it settles. It will entrap and strain out slower settling particles that have flocculated and otherwise might not settle, but could be carried upward by water rising through the sludge mass to the overflow weir. As new solids settle onto the sludge blanket, those solids already on the bottom become more concentrated. If solids were never removed from the clarifier, the height of the sludge blanket would increase as new solids entered the clarifier. Eventually the height of the sludge blanket would reach the overflow weir, and solids would be lost. If solids at the bottom of the sludge blanket were never removed, they would become septic and would float to the surface. Removal of settled solids from the clarifier is needed, therefore, to maintain the height of the sludge blanket at the proper level, to prevent settled solids from becoming septic, and to maintain the microorganism population in the aeration chamber. The return sludge rate must satisfy all three of these requirements. The skimmer in the clarifier is designed to remove floating solids, such as grease or other floating solids; it will usually discharge to the aeration chamber. The operator should remove any floating solids that are not readily biodegradable, such as plastic, wood, leaves, and grease. If left in the plant for an extended period of time, these items will probably cause operating problems. Good maintenance requires that all .floating material other than sludge be removed from the plant as soon as possible. The treatment plant may have a rectangular clarifier with chain driven flights, a circular clarifier, or a hoppered clarifier; nonetheless, all will have the same basic components. Each clarifier has an inlet structure designed. to distribute the flow evenly along one of its sides; it must also be well baffled so that the mixing of the aeration chamber does not disturb the clarifier. Each type of clarifier will have an effluent (overflow) weir to collect the flow to minimize upflow currents, and a baffle in front of the effluent weir to prevent floating solids from leaving the clarifier; these floating solids will then be removed by a skimmer. A sludge collector will he provided to remove settled solids from the bottom of the clarifier. While clarifiers may have different shapes and mechanical devices, all -have- the -samefunction and, therefore, require the same devices. RECTANGULAR CLARIFIERS Settled sludge in most rectangular clarifiers is moved to a hopper at. one end by wood or fiberglass flights mounted on parallel strands of the conveyor chain. The chains and flights are carried on submerged sprockets, shafts, and bearings, and are driven by a motor through a speed reducer. As the flights travel along the bottom moving sludge to a hopper, they also travel in the opposite direction on the surface of the tank, transporting floating matter to the skimmer. It is important that each of the flights in a rectangular clarifier be the proper length. If flights are too short, solids will build up on the outer edges and turn septic, rise to the surface, and be discharged in the effluent. If a flight is too Ion*&; it may rub the tank wall and break the flight; a broken flight could wedge in a position that results in breaking the remaining flights. Properly sized, each flight should have a clearance of 25 to 50 mm (1 to 2 in.) between the end,of the flight and the tank wall. Rectangular clarifiers do not experience the operating problems of hoppered clarifiers. Their flights are designed to continually scrape the bottom of the clarifier. This mechanical cleaning eliminates the ratholing problem of sucking a clear cone or channel in the sludge frequently experienced with the hopper clarifier. Clear water is then returned to the aeration chamber rather than the settled sludge. Figure 6.2 illustrates the problem of channeling sludge in a hopper clarifier. Because the rectangular clarifier has vertical walls, the tendency of solids to cling to them is not as great as the sloped walls of the hopped classifier. The rectangular classifier does have some disadvantages, however, when compared to the hoppered clarifier. The chains, flights, and drive motors must be maintained properly. By contrast, the air lift pump used commonly with the hoppered clarifier does not have any moving parts; therefore, it requires little mechanical surface settling rate as determined by the average daily flow should be less than 13 m/m2•d (333 gpd/sq ft). Solids should not leave the clarifier during high (peak) flow periods; the operator should observe the overflow weir during peak flow periods to ensure that solids are not being washed out of the clarifier. When calculating the surface area, the area of the clarifier upstream from the inlet baffle cannot be considered. If the treatment plant is equipped with a flow measuring device, the surface settling rate for the peak hourly flow can be determined by measuring the flow for 1 hour during the peak period and -plying that quantity by 24, then dividing by the surface area of clarifier. The surface settling rate as determined by the peak hourly flow should be less than 40 m3/m2•d (1000 gpd/sq ft). If the peak surface settling rate is greater than this value, solids will probably be lost from the clarifier. A common method of reducing peak flows is to install an equalization chamber ahead of the treatment plant. The equalization tank provides a uniform flow rate to the treatment plant, eliminating peak flows and preventing solids from being washed out of the clarifier. DETENTION TIME. Detention time is the time required for. waste -water to flow through the clarifier. The formula to calculate the detention time is: Volume of clarifier (24 hr) Detention time = Flow per day Detention time must be sufficient to allow for almost complete removal of the settleable solids; however, long detention times do not materially improve removal, and may be actually harmful by allowing the sludge to become septic. In small package extended aeration treatment plants the clarifier will have a detention time of 4 to 6 hours, based on the average daily flow. When calculating detention time for hoppered clarifiers, only the upper one-third (by height) may be used; the lower two-thirds is reserved for sludge storage. WEIR OVERFLOW RATE. Wastewater leaves the clarifier over weirs into effluent troughs. The length of the weirs in relation to the flow is important to prevent high velocities near the overflow weirs that may cause solids to be lost with the clarifier effluent. The weir over- flow rate is the number of cubic meters per day (gallons) that flow over each meter (foot) of weir, as shown in Equation 5: Weir overflow rate, m3/m.d (gpd/sq) Based on the average daily flow, the weir overflow rate for small package extended aeration plants should be between 12 and .25 m}/m.d (1000 to 2000 gpd(ft). During peak flows the overflow rate should not be greater than 120 m3/m.d (10 000 gpd(ft). The operator should determine the total length of all overflow weirs and divide that length into the average daily flow. If the resulting value does not fall in the previous range, the overflow weir will have to be modified to increase its length. The overflow weir should also be evaluated for peak hourly flows. Following the same procedure described in the section on surface settling rates, the operator may determine the peak hourly flow and calculate a 24-hour flow by multiplying by 24. Dividing this flow value by the total length of all overflow weirs should yield a valve less than 120 m3/m.d (10 000 gpd(ft). If the resultant value exceeds this peak value, solids are probably being lost from the plant during high flows. Either the length of the overflow weir should be increased or flow equalization may be required if other clarifier parameters are also exceeded. Finally, the overflow weir must be level to operate properly; it was designed to have uniform flow over its entire length. If the overflow weir is not level, excessive discharge velocities, which will hinder settling, may occur. Another common problem with overflow weirs is that they leak between- the adjustable weir and the effluent trough. All water leaving the clarifier should flow over the discharge weir. INLET AND OUTLET STRUCTURES Inlet and outlet structures, including appropriate baffles, are important to clarifier efficiency. Inlet baffles reduce the velocity of the mixed liquor entering the clarifier and distribute the flow evenly. Many inlet baffles are designed improperly, resulting in short circuiting through the clarifier. The clarifier should remain quiet when the aeration chamber is being mixed; if disturbances appear in the clarifier while the aeration chamber is being mixed, the inlet baffle is not working properly. Either the manufacturer, the local regulatory agency, or an operations consultant should be consulted. Discharge baffles are designed to prevent floating solids from leaving the clarifier. The discharge baffle will usually rise about 300 mm (6 in.) above the liquid level and extend about the same distance below. A common manufacturing error is to use the same design for the discharge baffle as the inlet baffle. The inlet baffle should extend at least 300 min (6 in.) below the bottom of the port from the aeration chamber to the clarifier to reduce the liquid velocity. However, if the effluent (discharge) baffle extends that deep below the liquid 11 Cases have been reported in which soda cans were thrown into the plant, causing the air lift pump to become plugged. Each time the air was turned on, the can would be sucked into the eductor pipe. When the air was turned oft, the can would settle to the bottom and the pipe would seem clear. This problem was discovered and eliminated only after the compartment in which the air lift was located was pumped and cleaned. Some manufacturers install a valve on the discharge pipe of the return sludge pump. If the clean out plug on the tee is in place, closing this valve will force air out the bottom of the eductor pipe and remove the obstruction. Some plants are plumbed so that water from the froth spray pump may be forced down the eductor pipe to remove the obstruction. These methods of clearing the air lift pump are called backflushing, and may be used for an airlift pump in the equalization tank. Backflushing is not recommended for air lifts located in the clarifier because settled solids will be resuspended and lost over the overflow weir. Backflushing with a garden hose from a potable water supply is NOT recommended. Floating solids are removed from the clarifier by the skimmer. Maintenance of the skimmer consists of keeping the equipment clean, adjusted, and in proper operation. Skimmers on hoppered clarifiers are ineffective in removing floating solids, especially solids that collect in corners. Improperly adjusted, the air lift skimmer can create enough turbulence to hinder settling, and on heavily loaded plants can draw the sludge blanket. to the surface: On hoppered clarifiers, the top of the air lift skimmer should be approximately 6 mm (0.25 in.) below the liquid surface when the blowers are operating. The air lift skimmer should use the minimum amount of air needed to pump the liquid back to the clarifier. The skimmer air valve should be set at the required minimum to provide the maximum available air to the diffusers and return sludge pump. If the air value is wide open the skimmer will rob most of the air from the diffusers and return sludge pump. Some package extended aeration plants have a submersible pump located in the clarifier to pump clear liquid to the froth sprays in the aeration chamber. A hose bib Is installed on some froth spray systems so that the clear liquid may be used to wash down the plant or to mix chemicals. If at all possible, have a potable line, protected by a proper backflow preventer, installed near the plant and used for wash down and mixing chemicals. The submersible froth spray pump should. not .be operated unless it is absolutely necessary. The clarifier is an extremely important part of the wastewater treatment plant. If it does not operate properly the clarifier will cause a poor quality effluent. The clarifier must remain quiet so that settleable and floating solids can be removed from the mixed liquor. The skimmer and return sludge pump must be operated properly to remove solids from the clarifier in a timely manner. SLUDGE WASTING Even when a package extended aeration plant receives the proper amount of food, has the correct pH, is supplied plenty of air, and has good mixing, it will not . produce a clear effluent indefinitely. The microorganisms in the treatment plant must he wasted periodically to keep them performing at maximum efficiency. Removal of organic material will cause inert solids to accumulate. Sludge may be wasted, therefore, to prevent the treatment plant from becoming choked with solids. For the package_ extended aeration process, solids should remain in the plant for 30 to 40 days. This means that 1/30 to 1A0, of.... the solids in the plant should be wasted daily. The time the solids remain in the plant is called the solids retention time. If sludge is not wasted routinely, solids may accumulate in the plant and be lost over the discharge weir in the clarifier. Old sludge will also produce a thick, dark, matty foam in the clarifier. Wasting sludge is a routine process for large treatment plants with well trained operators. The volumes of the aeration chamber and the clarifier are known, and the suspended solids test can be used to determine the solids concentration in the mixed liquor and in the return sludge. The quantity of solids in the plant may then be calculated, and the solids retention time will determine how much must be wasted daily. Because solids are usually wasted from the return sludge, knowing the solids concentration of the return sludge will allow the operator to calculate the volume of return sludge that must be wasted to an aerated sludge holding tank. Wasting sludge from small plants is not routine. Unfortunately, many small extended aeration plants do not have operators who can perform the suspended solids test or facilities that can measure the return sludge rate. In addition, some plants do not have a sludge holding tank. For small plants, the 30-minute settleability test is used to determine when sludge should be wasted. Generally, not more than 20% of the mixed liquor solids, as indicated by the 30-minute settleability test, should be wasted in a week. Not more than 10% of the solids should be wasted at any one time. For example, if settleability tests routinely indicate 50% solids, then the amount of sludge to be wasted is 0.10 (50) equal 5%, and the settleability test after wasting.should indicate 50% minus 5% 45%. To achieve 20% wasting for the week, another settleable solids test is run approximately 3 days later. At that time, 10% of that reading would then be wasted. This procedure exchanges the mixed liquor every 35 days. When sludge is wasted it is usually either pumped to a scavenger truck or a sludge holding tank. The aerated sludge holding tank (Figure 7.1) may be an integral part of the plant or it may be a separate unit located near the aeration chamber. The sludge holding tank is constructed with air diffusers that operate when 13 CHLORINATION The most common method of disinfection used in package extended aeration plants is chlorination. If pathogenic bacteria are to be destroyed by chlorination, there must be sufficient contact time between the bacteria and chlorine. A chlorine contact tank is designed to provide the required time (Figure 8.1). Contact time is provided in two ways: by sizing the tank for volume; and by putting baffles in the tank to eliminate short-circuiting. The chlorine tank is usually attached to the clarifier if the plants are constructed of steel; concrete chlorine contact tanks are usually separate units. Concrete tanks. are virtually maintenance free; steel tanks must be painted periodically with coal tar epoxy paint or other recommended corrosion protection that is applied according to manufacturer's instructions to prevent deterioration caused by the highly corrosive. chlorine. Separate cathodic protection is needed if the metal tank is separate from the treatment plant. Eventually, solids will carry over into the chlorine contact tank from the clarifier. These solids must be routinely pumped back to the aeration chamber. If these solids are allowed to accumulate, they will become septic. Pumping . a large amount of septic solids to the aeration chamber will definitely upset the plant- operation. Regulatory agencies usually require 15 minutes chlorine contact time during peak flow or approximately 900 L of chlorine tank volume for each liter per second (10.4 gal for each 1000 gpd) of design flow. In addition to contact time, regulatory agencies also limit the amount of chlorine that is to be added to the effluent. Because this quantity varies from one regulatory agency to another, the regulatory agency with jurisdiction over the wastewater treatment plant will establish the maximum allowable concentration of chlorine in the effluent. The discharge criterion for most regulatory agencies is 0.2 to 1.5 mg/L.. CHLORINATORS Three different types of chlorinators are commonly used in small wastewater treatment plants: gas chlorinators; liquid chlorinators; and solid tablet or pellet chlorinators. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Regardless of the type used, the operator should make sure that the chlorinator is sized for the design flow of the treatment plant. Sources of replacement parts should be identified and pans should be readily available; if replacement parts are difficult to find, another brand of chlorinator should be considered. Finally, the operator should consider the availability of chlorine supply when evaluating chlorinators. GAS CHLORINATORS. Gas chlorinators use either a small portion of the effluent from the treatment plant or potable water as the chlorine carrier. This liquid is then pumped through an injection nozzle or diffuser, where the chlorine gas and liquid are mixed. The liquid containing chlorine is then returned to the treatment plant effluent. Because this type of chlorinator uses pure chlorine, which is toxic, the manufacturer's operating instructions must be adhered to rigidly. Under no circumstances should one attempt to operate a gas chlorinator without first reading the manufacturer's operating manual. While a gas chlorinator may cost more initially, than other chlorinators, there can be definite savings in the long run. The principal advantages of using the gaseous form are: the infrequency of handling the chlorine supply a 70 kg (150 lb) cylinder serving a 0.5 is (10,000 gpd) plant would probably have to be replaced once a year; chlorine in the gaseous form is the cheapest form available; and finally, storage does not cause a loss of strength. If a gas chlorinator is used, the proper safety devices (ventilation, self-contained pressurized gas masks, and leak detectors) should be readily available. In addition, the system should be inspected by the appropriate regulatory agency: LIQUID CHLORINATORS. Three common types of liquid chlorinators used on small treatmentplants are the squeeze tube, diaphragm, and piston. These are called positive - displacement pumps because they deliver a definite amount of solution with each stroke. The pumps are calibrated in gallons of liquid pumped in 24 hours. Sodium hypochlorite (liquid laundry bleach) and calcium hypochlorite (powder H.T.H.) are used as the chlorine sources for liquid chlorine pumps. Liquid sodium hypochlorite (common laundry bleach) is recommended for use because it is readily available in local grocery stores and is easy to use. Its chief disadvantage is that it contains only 5.25% available chlorine and is, therefore, an expensive source of chlorine.' Commercial grade sodium hypochlorite is available at 15% strength. Because the shelf life of liquid bleach is limited, it is important to use a supplier with fresh stock. Calcium hypochlorite is a white powder that contains 65 to 70% available chlorine. When dissolved in water for use in liquid chlorinators, a powder residue of calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide will remain undissolved. The residue formed must be kept from the chlorinator pump to avoid plugging chlorine feed lines and fittings. This is done by dissolving as much of the calcium hypochlorite as possible in a separate mixing container and letting it set quietly over- night. The following day, the clear liquid is poured into the chlorine solution tank. The residue remaining in the mixing con- 15 to kill pathogenic microorganisms. The most common source of ultraviolet radiation is the sun. Ultraviolet light cannot be seen by the human eye and is responsible for sunburning and tanning; it can also destroy potential harmful bacteria and viruses by deactivating their genetic material. Ultraviolet mercury lamps have been used for many years to disinfect air and water. Increasing concerns over the environmental effects of chlorine has led to a renewed interest in ultraviolet light as a disinfection agent for small wastewater treatment plants. An ultraviolet disinfection unit consists of one or more ultraviolet lamps encased in a quartz or Teflon sleeve. A thin layer of water passes around the sleeve to expose it to ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet lamps are designed to provide a maximum amount of light at the proper wave length for the greatest bacteria killing action, 253.7 mm (2537 Angstrom units; one centimeter is equivalent to 100 million Angstroms). Water must be circulated to expose each droplet to as much light as possible for an ultraviolet unit to be effective. The killing action will be rapid if the light can reach the bacteria. For this reason, the amount of suspended solids in the liquid must be minimized. Many states require a filter after the wastewater treatment plant, .just before the ultraviolet unit. Maintenance of the ultraviolet unit consists of cleaning the quartz or Teflon tubes and replacing bulbs. Some units are equipped with either automatic or manual wipers that allow. tubes to be cleaned without removal of the ultraviolet"lamps. Small units use about the same amount of electricity as a light bulb; replacement lamps cost about $40.00 to $60.00 each. Care must be taken to ensure that power is disconnected when bulbs are cleaned or changed. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation is harmful, and looking at the lighted bulbs for long periods of time will damage the eyes. Operating Tests and Routine f.intenance Most large wastewater treatment plants are operated by trained individuals who use sophisticated equipment and procedures. Smaller plants are usually operated by personnel have limited training and use elementary testing procedures and simple equipment. Nonetheless, smaller plants Can be operated successfully. Parameters that can be monitored easily and that give a good picture of the treatment plant's condition are: settleability; pH ; color; dissolved oxygen; and residual chlorine (if chlorine is used for disinfection). If portable test kits are used, everything will fit into a 3-gal plastic bucket. Required test equipment includes: 3-gal plastic sample bucket with rope, DO test kit; pH test kit; two calibrated quart jars; a residual chlorine test kit; and elbow -length rubber gloves. One additional piece of equipment needed to operate the plant successfully_is a squeegee that is long enough to reach the bottom of the plant. SETTLEABILITY An indicator of good settling is a test that measures how well the biological floc will settle. There are two such tests: settleability and settleometer. SETTLEABILITY TEST. The settleability test, or 30-minute settling test, should be. considered the major process control test for small package plants. A 1 000-mL graduated cylinder or a calibrated mason jar may be used to determine the percent of settled sludge by volume. Figure 9.1 shows a simulated settleability test using a quart jar. The mason jar has been calibrated by markings on a piece of adhesive tape at 13-mm (0.5 in.) increments from the bottom to. where the jar begins to curve. The marks are then labeled from 0 to 100% in 10% intervals. A samplefrom the aeration chamber (taken after blower has operated for 10 minutes) is allowed to settle in the jar for 30 minutes. After which the percent of settled solids is determined. The samples should be taken at the same location in the aeration chamber and at the same time of the day to allow for comparison of tests taken on different days. The sample should not be taken near the plant influent or near a return sludge line. When the settleability test is conducted, the quart jar should be placed in the shade, on a level surface, and away from any vibration caused by the blowers. The operator should observe the settleability test for the first 5 minutes. How the sludge settles is just as important as the final amount that settles. During the 5 minutes of the settleability test, a healthy sludge should compact slowly, forming a screening blanket, and squeezing clear liquid from the sludge. A good settling sludge will settle at 20 to 50% of its original volume after 30 minutes. A problem may exist if the sludge settles quickly, leaving finer particles in the supernatant, even though the final percent solids reading is within the acceptable range. A rapidly settling sludge, a cloudy supernatant, and a dark brown color usually indicates an old sludge with a large amount of inorganic solids; in this case, increasing sludge wasting would then be recommended. If the settleability test results are less than 20% and the supernatant is cloudy, but the sludge settles slowly and the color is light brown.,, then a young sludge 17 operators. A history of the plant operation is often the key to solving current operating problems. The color of the aeration chamber is one of the quickest way is to check the system, operation, the color _ should be brown, similar to coffee with cream. If the aeration chamber is this color and has a musty odor similar to a damp basement or mushrooms, the sludge is probably healthy. If the color is gray, the plant is not receiving enough air. Possible reasons for this are: the plant is receiving too much food; the control time clocks are not allowing the aerators to operate enough; the diffusers may be partially plugged; or the plant may have received some toxic material. A black color accompanied by a rotten egg odor indicates that the plant is septic. When this occurs, the plant should be placed on constant aeration until the light brown coffee color returns. A- septic plant is usually the result of poor attention by the operator. Although aerator failures, power failures, plugged diffusers, and toxic material will cause the plant to go septic, the most common cause is neglect. Other colors that may be observed occasionally are white, red, and purple. A white aeration chamber occurs when the plant is extremely lightly loaded. The sludge, in this case, is completely oxidized.and only ash remains. Feeding the plant is not recommended. A red color may be encountered when the plant is overaerated;. . and a filamentous ' bacteria called leptothrix is present. The sludge will settle poorly and a thick matty foam will form. A purple -color is not natural, but has been encountered when iron removal water systems, which use potassium permanganate to regenerate the media, use the wastewater system to dispose of backwash and flushing water. Therefore, the operator should know what is connected to the wastewater system. REMEMBER: the package extended aeration treatment plant is designed to treat domestic Waste only; anything else can cause an operating problem. DISSOLVED OXYGEN Dissolved oxygen (DO) is one of the most important ingredients of the mixture in the aeration chamber. Oxygen is necessary for aerobic bacteria to use organic material; without it, septic conditions 5 and 8.5_ for microorganisms to grow. Either a pH meter or a small liquid color comparator test kit may be used to test the pH. Although the color comparator is excellent in determining pH for operational control, its results may not be accepted by the appropriate regulatory agency. The regulatory agency should be contacted to determine whether color comparator results are acceptable. If the results are unacceptable, the effluent pH must be determined by a pH meter. The pH meter takes time to calibrate and must be maintained according to manufacturers' recommendations, whereas the color comparator is simple to use, but does have some limitations. .. High suspended solids or highchlorine residuals in the testing samples will interfere with the pH test. Samples taken from the aeration chamber must be allowed to settle for about.10 minutes, at which time the pH of the supernatant can be checked. Effluent samples with chlorine residuals greater than 1.0 mg/L must be dechlorinated. If a color comparator is used, its range should be at least one pH unit above 8.5 and one pH unit below 6.5. The wide range pH test kit; with a range from 4.0 to 10.0, is popular. among small plant operators. Whether a pH meter or a color comparator kit is used, the instructions furnished with the test equipment must be followed carefully. Test equipment should will result. The amount (concentration) of oxygen that can be dissolved in the mixed liquor is temperature dependent -the colder the .water, the greater the amount of oxygen that can be dissolved. The oxygen concentration is measured in milligrams per liter (mg/L); the ideal oxygen concentration in the aeration chamber is 2 mg. The DO in a clarifier should be at least 1 mg/L to prevent septic conditions, which would result in gas bubble formation, rising sludge, and unpleasant odors. When wastewater flows are erratic, aeration will be difficult to yield the ideal oxygen concentration. It is, therefore, better to have a DO concentration that is greater than 2. mg/L than to let it become . completely depleted, as fewer unpleasant consequences result. DO METER. The test for DO is performed on the mixed liquor from the aeration chamber for operational control, and may have to be conducted on the plant effluent for regulatory control. Because oxygen is required in the aeration chamber at all times, plants that are aerated intermittently must be sampled near the end of the off aeration period, to indicate the minimum oxygen dissolved in the water. The best method for testing the DO in the aeration chamber is to use a DO meter. If the probe is placed at mid -depth in the aeration chamber, the DO concentration can be read directly. The meter eliminates the need to obtain a sample from the aeration chamber, a common source of error. Sampling is ineffective when: samples are inadvertently agitated, which induces oxygen; the sample is taken near the surface, which does not give a true indication of the oxygen content in the aeration chamber; or the sample is not tested immediately. If a DO meter is unavailable, the proper sampling equipment to obtain a sample at mid - depth of the operation chamber should be used. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Special Technical Publication No. 148-1 and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Water Supply Paper No. 1454 are good references for determining proper equipment. W AERATION CHAMBER. Perform settleability and settleometer test; note color of aeration chamber; note rate of return sludge, color, and odor; check pH; check DO; inspect froth spray nozzles; inspect rolling action produced by diffusers (remove and clean every 3 months); record all test data; and wash down as needed. • CLARIFIER. Gently squeegee all sides; adjust return sludge if needed; adjust skimmer if needed; remove nonbiodegradable floating material (for example; rags, sticks, plastic, grease balls, water -melon seeds); check packing nuts on all air valves; inspect overflow weir (must be level); inspect clarifier for high currents; check depth of clarity (12 to 18 in. is common) with Secchi disk (see Glossary); and finally, record all results. • CHLORINE CONTACT TANK. Check chlorine residual and 'make feed adjustments if needed; check chlorine supply for chlorinator; and inspect chlorine contact tank for solids. • MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. Check time clocks for correct time of day and day of week. Ensure that air is supplied to the plant daily. Establish a routine lubrication schedule for each piece of mechanical equipment, as recommended by the manufacturer. Record the date of each lubrication in both a maintenance log and on a tag placed on the piece of equipment. Finally, check air filters, clean, or replace as needed; check air relief valves; and inspect air piping: for leaks. CORROSION CONTROL Why do metals corrode? There are two basic causes of corrosion: one is chemical attack; and the other involves electrochemical reactions between metals and their environment. CHEMICAL ATTACK Direct chemical attack is associated with attacks on metals by acids, alkalis, and other similar corrosive chemicals. This contributor to corrosion in wastewater treatment plants can occur where chemicals such as alkalines or acids are used for pH control, or where chlorine is used for disinfection of wastewater before discharge. This type of corrosion can be minimized greatly if materials resistant to chemical attack are used. Plastics and fiberglass materials are available for piping or tubing, chemical storage tanks, and pumping equipment used for chemical feed systems in wastewater treatment plants. These materials are usually incorporated into the treatment plant design and are installed at the., time the plant is constructed. Older treatment plants, however, may have been built with other materials that may have been worn or corroded over time by direct chemical attack. When any of these items must be replaced, plastic or fiberglass materials suited for the intended use should be considered. The required items and components such as tubing or pipe, chemical feed pumps, and tanks can usually be obtained from plumbing houses or equipment manufacturers. Care should be used in the selection of such items to ensure they will resist corrosive attack by the chemicals with which they may come in contact. ELECT R0CI11EIdIICAL CORROSION.......v_._.} ..:,... The second, and more common, type of. corrosion' is known as electrochemical (galvanic) corrosion, and is most obvious in the case where two dissimilar metals are electrically coupled. A battery is an excellent example of this corrosion process. One metal, acting as an anode, provides electrons to the second metal; as a result of providing these electrons, the single metal dissolves into the solution in contact with both metals. This action causes metal loss and eventually destroys the device supplying the electrons. Figure 11.1 illustrates this action. The.solution carrying the metal ions is known as an electrolyte. The -electrons generated as a result of this reaction travel to the cathode, where a second reaction occurs. This electrolytic t)--e of corrosion occurs wherever-twe, dissimilar metals are in contact, or when both are in contact with a electrolytic solution. This electrolytic solution may be chemicals stored in tanks or chemical feed tanks, wastewater in any one of several treatment processes, or a thin liquid film coating the various metal components. There can be numerous opportunities for this type of corrosion in wastewater treatment plants because metals are used for such items as piping, tanks, grating, pumps, and blowers. Awareness of this type of electrochemical corrosion may alert the operator to a potential situation where corrosion may occur. The most effective preventive methods are to use similar metals that will be in contact with each other, .isolating the two metal components with a nonmetallic material such as fiberglass or plastic, or to completely substitute the metallic components with nonmetallic ones. Although there may be a situation where dissimilar metals could corrode, it is important to note that this process may occur very slowly. Therefore, the operator should occasionally check these locations for evidence of corrosive attack. Metal corrosion can also occur when only one metal is in contact with an electrolytic solution. These electrolytic cells are called differential aeration cells and occur when there are different concentrations of ox)'gen. As indicated in Figure 11.2, this corrosion can develop when iron rusts. The concentration of oxygen under the rust is lower than that around the outside of the iron and 21 I zinc chromate. Primers containing .,u lead should not be used because of the possible galvanic or electrochemical reaction between the lead in the primer and the zinc; furthermore, lead paints are toxic. ALUMINUM. As with the application of all other coatings, surface preparation for aluminum is important. This includes removal of any grease and oil. The aluminum that is to be painted must first be treated with a phosphoric acid wash, because paints do not normally adhere well to aluminum. A prime coat containing zinc chromate should be applied before the top coat. This will prevent a similar galvanic reaction mentioned previously for galvanized iron. MAGNESIUM ANODES. For metal plants, in addition to painting, periodic replacement of the magnesium anodes is required. Frequency of replacement will depend on the painting of the exterior surface and the soil conditions. Because placement of the magnesium anode sacks makes them difficult, to inspect, it is recommended that they be replaced every 10 years. A location sketch should be made when the plant is installed. SUMMARY Corrosion prevention and correction. is a continuous, ongoing process in wastewater treatment plants. The operator must be alert to conditions within the treatment plant that enhance corrosion reactions. Equally important is proper treatment of corrosion once it is discovered. Preventing or minimizing some types of corrosion will extend the life of corrosion prevention measures when corrosion is encountered. If corrosion recurs frequently. substitute materials should be considered. The use of protective coatings requires proper surface preparation and selection of the primer/paint system to resist potential corrosive atmospheres. Where extensive repainting is necessary preparing specifications and advertising for experienced contractors should be considered. Other protective measures such as anodic or cathodic protection may, be desirable. The operator should retain the services of a qualified engineer when extensive repainting or other corrosion prevention measures are to be used. REGULA'I'ORY REQUIREMENTS Regulatory controls on the wastewater treatment plant will vary depending on the size, stream location, and geographic location of the plant. If the operator does not know what monitoring is required, the local regulatory agency should be contacted. Some common tests that may be required for effluent monitoring are: •Biochemical oxygen demand; •Suspended solids; •pH; *Residual chlorine; •Fecal coliform; *Dissolved oxygen; • Nitrogen; • Phosphorus; and Flow If discharge monitoring is required, a discharge permit will be issued. This permit will provide the following information: • Reporting frequency; • Tests required; • Sampling techniques to be used; Reporting forms; and • Compliance schedule (to be followed if system is to be modified). SAFETY The wastewater industry has been identified in annual Water Pollution Control Federation (WPCF) safety surveys as having one of the highest accident records. Therefore, good safety habits are essential in wastewater treatment plants. Because each treatment system will be somewhat different, it is recommended that a written safety program be developed for each plant. WPCFs MOP No. I," Safety and Health in Wastewater Systems" and "Guidelines for Developing a Wastewater Safety Program" are excellent guides to use for developing good safety habits. Another good reference is the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Activated Sludge Package Plant Operators Manual." Safety instructions contained in manufacturers' O&M manuals are also helpful. 23 TO W/ NALVE 0" 1 CLARIFIER IN�r DECHLORINATION UNIT FLOW CONTROL WF'LFS k FLAW METER POST AERATION DLOWER 8'0 FUNDED 011R.ET Cannn'7 10 �A+9 �M 15/8"—CLARIFIER 12" 1'-2 3/8"—PCCT —�-1'-2 3/8"—PDCCT METER Ground Level 10 13/16"21_2 3 8�� A>o 13/16" a �10 DANA HILLS CORPORATION Compacted Backfi// 828 692-8477 r 925 1.ANA 2t 0o H9NDfR50NWLLE, N.C. 291792 Concrete Pad 12"'—' eg-BUILD PA T REA T- M E N T P L A N T ONTDFAI� To Serve ,,I?,ANA HILLS RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY <<,,0R, ^1 a I !lrN HdVOGesoW cZ7uw, ma ✓ 7w. ` LAGr"= AU57N AhV AS50lSA= PA 131 PV&X7M AMUe L9 r ✓ t i wEv aLL� ate cHECCED nr n�re sHLEr He � .4 ,, �Y,�' No. DATE Tar APPRv.

Flow volume calculated correctly? 2H .0299(l) ♦ Ensure that the daily design flow in the application is based on the guidance provided in the egulations or existing flow, and that the explanation as to how this volume was determined is very specific (i.e., 22 three -bedroom homes, 50,000 s.f. of retail space, 18 employees, etc). This information will be included in the description of the system in the permit. Our regs say 120. gpd/bedroom for residential. Note that for one -bedroom the minimum they can use is 240 gpd. ♦ If daily design flow is not based on regulations, ensure that the applicant has an approved flow reduction of daily design flow rate on file with the Division. A list of approved flow reductions may be obtained from the DWQ Intranet or by contacting the PERCS. Flow reduction requests are to be reviewed by the central office, and must be reviewed and approved before the application is accepted by the regional office for review. ♦ On occasion, there may be an instance where supporting documentation is submitted with the application for a specific facility. Contact PERCS to determine a course of action. ♦ Ensure that the flows shown on the application match up to what is shown on the plans (if available for review). For example, if the application states that 100 lots are to be developed, ensure that there are 100 lots, and not 150 lots, shown on the plans. Plans are only required for review if the applicant is requesting a variance to the MDC or the .0200's. ♦ Do not allocate "future" wastewater flows (i.e., that based on speculative development). These would be permitted in future wastewater collection system extensions. Although, we do allocate "unknown" flows on a per acre basis for industrial/commercial park applications. Generally, the Division has accepted between 900 gpd/acre —1500 gpd/acre- Let the engineer support his calculation.

Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address: NC DENR / DWR / Information Processing Unit ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1. 1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid for twelve (12) months and shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division. Page 4of6 Permit NCO073393 A. (2.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS, continued Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements is found on the following web page: hitp://-portal.ncdenr.org/web/Wq,/admin/bog/ipu/edmr Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of discharge. 2.

Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or L" Version 1110912011.1 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. - Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also "Composite Sample," above.) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DWR or "the Division" The Division of Water Resources, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Effluent Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source whether treated or untreated. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Version 1110912011.1 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge during that sampling period. Monthly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Resources. Quarterly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1.

Operation and Maintenance of Pollution Controls 1. Certified Operator Owners of classified water pollution control systems must designate operators, certified by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), of the appropriate type and grade for the system, and, for each classification must [T15A NCAC 08G .0201]: a. designate one Operator In Responsible Charge (ORC) who possesses a valid certificate of the type and grade at least equivalent to the type and grade of the system; b. designate one or more Back-up Operator(s) in Responsible Charge (Back-up ORCs) who possesses a valid certificate of the type of the system and no more than one grade less than the grade of the system, with the exception of no backup operator in responsible charge is required for systems whose minimum visitation requirements are twice per year; and c. submit a signed completed "Water Pollution Control System Operator Designation Form" to the Commission (or to the local health department for owners of subsurface systems) countersigned by the designated certified operators, designating the Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and the Back-up Operator in Responsible Charge (Back-up ORC): (1) 60 calendar days prior to wastewater or residuals being introduced into a new system; or (2) within 120 calendar days following: ➢ receiving notification of a change in the classification of the system requiring the designation of a new Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and Back-up Operator in Responsible Charge (Back-up ORC) of the proper type and grade; or ➢ a vacancy in the position of Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) or Back-up Operator in Responsible Charge (Back-up ORC). Version 1110912011.1 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 7 of 18 (3) within seven calendar days of vacancies in both ORC and Back-up ORC positions replacing or designating at least one of the responsibilities. The ORC of each Class I facility (or the Back-up ORC, when acting as surrogate for the ORC) must: ➢ Visit the facility as often as is necessary to insure proper operation of the treatment system; the treatment facility must be visited at least weekly ➢ Comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 08G .0204. The ORC of each Class II, III and IV facility (or the Back-up ORC, when acting as surrogate for the ORC) must: ➢ Visit the facility as often as is necessary to insure proper operation of the treatment system; the treatment facility must be visited at least five days per week, excluding holidays ➢ Properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility ➢ Comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 08G .0204. Proper Operation and Maintenance The Permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the Permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the Permittee to install and operate backup or auxiliary facilities only when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit [40 CFR 122.41(e)]. NOTE: Properly and officially designated operators are fully responsible for all proper operation and maintenance of the facility, and all documentation required thereof, whether acting as a contract operator [subcontractor] or a member of the Permittee's staff. 3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit [40 CFR 122.41(c)]. 4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities a. Bypass not exceeding limitations [40 CFR 122.41(m)(2)] The Permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs b. and c. of this section. b. Notice [40 CFR 122.41(m)(3)] (1) Anticipated bypass. If the Permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and effect of the bypass. (2) Unanticipated bypass. The Permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II.E.6. (24-hour notice). c. Prohibition of Bypass (1) Bypass from the treatment facility is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a Permittee for bypass, unless: (A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; (B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime.

Version 1110912011.1 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 14 of 18 ' PART IV SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR MUNICIPAL FACILITIES Section A. Definitions In addition to the definitions in Part II of this permit, the following definitions apply to municipal facilities: Indirect Discharge or Industrial User Any non -domestic source that discharges wastewater containing pollutants into a POTW regulated under section 307(b), (c) or (d) of the CWA. [40 CFR 403.3 (i) and 0) and 15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(11)] Interference Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(14)] Pass Through A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)] Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization. This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T .0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)] "Significant Industrial User" or "SIU" An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(33)1: 1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary, noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or 2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS and ammonia; or 3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or 4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options; 5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a Significant Industrial User (SIU); or 6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting the criteria in paragraph 3 of this defmition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3 (v)(2) and thus is a non -significant categorical Industrial User. Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) Version 1110912011.1 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 15 of 18 All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]: 1. Any new introduction of pollutants into the POTW from an indirect discharger, regardless of the means of transport, which would be subject to section 301 or 306 of CWA if it were directly discharging those pollutants; and 2. Any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants being introduced by an indirect discharger as influent to that POTW at the time of issuance of the permit. 3. For purposes of this paragraph, adequate notice shall include information on (1) the quality and quantity of effluent introduced into the POTW, and (2) any anticipated impact that may result from the change of the quantity or quality of effluent to be discharged from the POTW. Section C. Municipal Control of Pollutants from Industrial Users. 1. Effluent limitations are listed in Part I of this permit. Other pollutants attributable to inputs from Industrial Users discharging to the POTW may be present in the Permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be revised to specify effluent limitations for any or all of such other pollutants in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality standards. 2. Prohibited Discharges a. The Permittee shall develop and enforce their Pretreatment Program to implement the prohibition against the introduction of pollutants or discharges into the waste treatment system or waste collection system which cause or contribute to Pass Through or Interference as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .0900 and 40 CFR 403. [40 CFR 403.5(a)(1)] b.
