Option 2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such

Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in
the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessaryremedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of
your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the
original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.

Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this

Dear Mr. Davidson,
This letter is in response to the above NOV dated August 31, 2016. The violation was for the month of
May, 2016.
This facility runs exceptionally well. The owner and his staff monitor the system many°times throughout
the day over and above the James & James operator. They are also proactive in educating the residents of
the items that can and cannot be sent to the system. The quality of the effluent had not changed from the
month of April to the month of May. The last Ammonia Nitrogen result from April, 2016 was <0.1 mg/l.
It is possible that some extensive cleaning occurred during the "spring" cleaning. There was nothing that
was an obvious cause.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
ith highest regards,

Dear Mr. Davidson,
This letter is for the above NOV dated June 27, 2016 for the month of January 2016 for the parameters of
BOD and Fecal Coliform.
This facility has an impeccable history of compliance. This particular violation occurred due to the blower
operating plant #1 that had tripped out over the weekend. The plant #1 was placed on hand and the water
quality greatly improved. The effluent from plant #2 and plant #3 was incredibly clear. At the time of
collection, the effluent appeared compliant.
The fecal coliform was greater than 600 colonies per 100 mis. The residual of 1.0 mg/L prior to dechlor. The
chlorine was increased to accommodate the quarter demand.
This facility regained compliance immediately and has maintained compliance since that date. The owners
and operators are diligent with the oversight of this facility.
Due to the compliance history and timely correction of the incident, we would appreciate consideration of the
fine to be reduced or remitted.
ith Appreciatio

Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282. I (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property
resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;

ption 2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in
the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of
your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the
original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form within thigy (30) days of receipt of this

Dear Client,
We are pleased to notify you that your facility operated most of the month within your National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. 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.
Thank you for choosing James & James as your service company.

ASHEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE t
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant
to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement
between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended).
This final permit includes the following changes from the draft permit sent to you on September 1, 2010: .
• More detail has been added to the facility description within the permit.
Sample types for BOD, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and Ammonia Nitrogen have been changed
to Composite. The location for sampling of Flow, BOD and TSS has been changed to Effluent
(only). These changes correct errors that existed in the draft.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty
(30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition,
conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless
such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that the unnamed tributary to Devil's Fork is listed as an impaired waterhody on the North
Carolina 303(d) Impaired Waters List. This means that the stream does not meet all water quality
standards. Addressing impaired waters is a high priority with the Division, and instream data will
continue to be evaluated. If there is noncompliance with permitted effluent limits and stream
impairment can be attributed to your facility, mitigative measures may be required.

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

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

action against a Permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,
retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This
condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of
reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of
equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The Permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph b. of this section.
(2) Bypass from the collection system is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement
action against a Permittee for a bypass as provided in any current or future system -wide collection system

the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph c.
(1) of this section.
5. U sets
a. Effect of an upset [40 CFR 122.41 (n) (2)]: An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action
brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of
paragraph b. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action
subject to judicial review.
b. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset: Any Permittee who wishes to establish the
affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or
other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the Permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;

NCO073393 4-15-10.pdf; NCO073393 Draft Permit
2010.pdf; 73393 a cover page 2010.doc
I met with the contract operator and did an inspection on 4-15-2010. Attached is that inspection report.
Here's what I would suggest.
Supplement to permit cover page: (see attachments)
Continue to operate 0.030 MGD extended aeration package WWTPs consisting of:
influent lift station with dual pumps and high water alarms; flow equalization
basin with manual bar screen and flow splitter box; one 20,000 gallon aeration
basin and one 10,000 gallon aeration basin with four blowers providing diffused
air; dual hoppered clarifiers with airlift skimmers and sludge returns; aerobic
digestor; tablet chlorinator; chlorine contact chamber; tablet dechlorinator; 500
gallon baffled dechlorination chamber; post aeration chamber; Eastech Flow
Controls Vantage Ultrasonic 2210 ® flow recorder; effluent composite sampler;
and gravity outfall.
Note: As we discussed previously, I would leave out any references to the manufacturers' name brands, i.e.
Flow Controls Vantage Ultrasonic 2210 ® flow recorder, and just say: ultrasonic flow
meter.
Permit limits page:
Footnote #2, which references the pH minimum and maximum, I would move to
up inside the limits "box" with all the other limit values.
I feel that everything else in the attached documents is accurate.
ARO recommends renewal of this permit.

Dear Mr. Montaperto:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft very
carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it .contains.
The draft permit contains the following change from the terms of your current permit:
• The facility description has been updated to reflect recent upgrades to components within the
WWTP. The design capacity of the facility has not been changed.
• A footnote has been added regarding the reporting and compliance determination of Total Residual
Chlorine values.
Please note that the receiving stream (unnamed tributary to Devils Fork) is listed as an impaired
waterbody on the North Carolina 303(d) Impaired Waters List. Addressing impaired waters is a high
priority with the Division, and instream data will continue to be evaluated. If there is'noncompliance
with permitted effluent limits and stream impairment can be attributed to your facility, mitigative
measures may be required.
Submit any comments to me no later than thirty days following your receipt of the draft. Comments
should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are received from
the public or from you; this permit will likely be issued in November 2010, with an effective date of
December 1, 2010.

NCDENR
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
I am writing this in response to your June 8, 2004 memorandum and
attached March 23, 2004 request for Authorization to Construct from Jon
Laughter. 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.

Roy - I looked for the May 2003 Dana -Hill ATC submittal you asked
about. 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.

From: Charles Weaver <[e-mail]>
Organization: NC DENR DWQ
To: Roy Davis <[e-mail]>
Roy:
Two AtC permits have been issued for the Dana -Hill WWTP (NC0073393).
0073393AC was issued on January 9, 1990, for the original 0.01 MGD
plant. 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.

coar.The interior is constructed of high impact
strengthABS plastic.
The refrigeration system is equally tough —the
condensercoil is coated with durable polyester,
the evaporator plate is powder coated with
epoxy, and polyester tubing or phenolic paint
protects the copper refrigeration lines.
Versatile Composite Sampling
The 3710FR Composite Sampler is ideal for
general purpose and priority pollutant sarttp-

samples are collected in a single polyethylene
or glass bottle. A Weight -activated table
provides an adjustable, fail-safe shurolfto

Dave: I noticed that NPDES Permit issued to Dana -Hill has an effluent limits page allowing the discharge
of 30,000 gpd of treated sewage. Dana -Hill formerly had two effluent limits pages; one allowing the
discharge of 20,000 gpd and one allowing the discharge of 30,000 gpd. Dana -Hill currently has an operable
20,000 gpd plant plus a parallel unusable 10,000 gpd plant. Permit NCO073393 should be reissued as it
was previously configured; presently allowing the discharge of 20,000 gpd and allowing the discharge of
30,000 gpd after receiving an ATC Permit. Preston Howards February 17, 1999 letter to Dana -Hill
captures the situation nicely. Call with questions. Roy Davis

You sent me several modification requests; all from James & James. Following please find my

coincide with the requirement that the facility be visited weekly_by .the —I -concur`
D 1Hix^ ``^ � 0 30" TT41�&requesfis that the facility not be required to provide composite effllu nl
sampling until the fu 1136,000 gpd capacity system is placed in operation. At present the owners are
operating the 20,000 gpd unit only. The owners woluld like to be allowed to take grab samples until the
10;000 gpd unit is brought on line as well. Such a rewuest is consistant with our self monitoring guidani
concur with the requester — -Tt
Bon Worth, NC0037176. Bon Worth is seeking some relief from toxiciity monitoring. Ultimately whether
the company, which discharges only a very small volume of domestic wastewater, gets relief from toxicity
monitoring will be decided by the people in the Aquatic Toxiciiiity Unit. I am however in favor of
whatever relief we are able to offer.
Greystone Subdivision, NC0068799. Greystone would like removal of the requirement that effluent
chlorination and dechlorination be provided. In addition to the information offered by James & James I
offer that the dillution ratio in the receiving stream is 390 to 1. It would seem to me that the dillution ratio
available is sufficient to allow us to remove the requirement for effluent disinfection

Dear Mr, Weaver,
The Dana Hill Community, permit number NCO073393 recently'.
ecently received their permit at a permitted flow
of 30,000 gallons per day. While this capability is on site, the Community does not require.!ttus large of a
system at present time. Located on site are a 20,000-gallon unit and a 10,00Q gallon unit The flow�9; only
being piped into the 20,000-gallon unit and the 10,000-gallon unit is availabig upon expans on og th' park.
or need, which ever comes first 1: s
The regulations state that any system with a allowable discharge of 30,000 use composite samplers `for the
collection of their parameters. We respectfully request that the facility be allowed a.before and after•
expansion permit. Since the 20,000-gallon unit is currently in line, the regulation for composite samples
should not,apply.

Dear Mr. Montaperto:
This letter is in reference to the request for a non -discharge permit to serve the Dana Hill Residential
Community received July 5, 2000.
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.
In accorda^ nc_ _ e wthLN.ICY.GeneralrStatute,143-215.67(a),
wastewater treatment tthe capacity to h dYe Ch��flow n accordance with North
CaroTlina Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 2M`:0209(b)(3), the Division is hereby denying the subject
permit application. 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. This request must be in the form of a written petition,
conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6700 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6700. Unless such demands are made this denial shall
be final and binding.

Authorization to Construct
Project No. 073393ACB
Dana -Hill Corp.
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Montaperto:
The Division received a letter of request for an Authorization to Construct on December 14, 1998 and final
plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and found to be satisfactory. Authorization is
hereby granted for the construction of a new 0.02 MGD wastewater treatment facility at the Dana -Hill Community
in Henderson County discharging treated effluent into an unnamed tributary of Devil's Fork in the French Broad
River Basin.
Specifically, authorization is granted for the construction/installation of an new 0.02 MGD package treatment plant
consisting of the following:
• A 5,000 gallon flow equalization tank with integrated bar screen;
• An influent flow splitter box;
• Dual 12,500 gallon aeration basins;
• Dual hopper clarifiers with airlift sludge and scum return;
• A 5,000 gallon sludge holding tank;
• A 420 gallon chlorine contact chamber utilizing tablet chlorination;
• A dechlorination chamber utilizing tablet dechlorination;
• A post aeration chamber;
• A flow measurement chamber with flow meter; and
• All blowers, piping, and appurtenances.
NPDES discharge permits are issued with flow limits indicative of in -the -ground treatment capacity. The
NPDES permit issued on August 21, 1995 has effluent limitations pages for flows of 0.01 MGD and 0.042 MGD.
With the installation of a 0.02 MGD package plant, and possible utilization of the 0.01 MGD plant in the future, a
modification to the NPDES permit is forthcoming. Specifically, effluent limitations pages for flows of 0.02 MGD
and 0.03 MGD have been included. Upon completion of construction of the above referenced facilities, the effluent
page for a flow of 0.02 MGD will become effective. Should the facility choose to use the 0.01 MGD facility in
conjunction with the 0.02 MGD facility, an Authorization to Construct for flow proportioning facilities must be
requested.

Dear Mr. Montaperto: I $
The Division issued an Authorization to Construct (ATC) on February 1999 for a 0.02 MGD package
treatment plant to be located at the above referenced facility discharging under NPDES permit NC0073393.
NPDES permits are issued with flow limits indicative of in -the -ground treatment capacity. The NPDES permit
issued on August 21, 1995 has effluent limitations pages for flows of 0.01 MGD and 0.042 MGD. As there is no
effluent limitations page for a flow of 0.02 MGD, the permit is being modified to include one. .This effluent page
will become effective upon receipt of the Engineer's Certification for ATC number 073393ACB issued on February
17, 1999. Additionally, an effluent limitations page for a flow of 0.03 MGD is also being provided. This page will
become effective if and when the facility begins using the existing 0.01 MGD plant in conjunction with the 0.02
MGD plant yet to be constructed. Should you choose to operate these two facilities in parallel, an Authorization to
Construct must be requested for flow proportioning facilities.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable
to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30)'days following receipt of
this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statues, and filed with the office of Administrative Hearings; Post Office Box 27447, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27611-7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.

Dear Mr. Montaperto:-
North Carolina Administrative Code 2H.0124(2) contains
language•,rel-ating to alternative power requirements for new
:sewage treatment plants. Please review the attached copy of
2H.0124(2) and inform me in writing as to how Dana -Hill
;Corporation will meet these requirements.
When I first looked at the plans for the new sewage
treatment plant to serve the Dana -Hill Community I wondered
:how flow would be split between the -two systems. I now have
Jon Laughter's January 4, 1999 letter in which he'informs me
that you will only provide 20,000 g.p.d. sewage treatment
plant capacity at the present time and will construct a
device for splitting flow to both the old and new sewage
treatment plants when you need 30,000 g.p.d. treatment
capacity.
I look forward to hearing from you regarding how you
will met the_..power reliability requirements. 'Please 'do not
hesitate to call me at 828-25,1-6208 should you need to
discuss this matter.

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.

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 .

existing plant is for 0.010 MGD. Current flows at the facility,
which is in the initial stages of development, are in the range of
1000 - 200-0--GPD. The permittee submitted justification for flow
in 1993 when the permit was renewed.
The permit should be renewed.

At last renewal permittee requested modification to lower design flow to 0.01 MGD and chose
NH3N limits over WET test requirement. NH3N and Residual Chlorine limits were added to
0.042 MGD as new flow. All streamflows are up to date with current USGS ,methods, and all
permit limits are up to date with current Division Procedures. Permit should be renewed
with existing limits. Renewal could have been streamlined. Facility's recent compliance
record has been poor with 3 monthly avg. BOD violations, 6 TSS violations and 2 NH3N
violations from 9/94 to 2/95.

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.

TREATMENT SYSTEM
After raw wastewater flows through the various
protective devices where pretreatment occurs, it flows to
the aeration basin. 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-

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.

Subject: Fast -Track Application Return
Dana -Hill, Phase III
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Laughter:
Attached herewith is the Fast -Track Sewer Application which you submitted seeking
permission to construct a sewer system to serve Dana -Hill, Phase III. The application is
being returned for the following reasons:
(1) By Act of the North Carolina General Assembly, effective September 1, 2007,
Fast -Track Permit processing fees were increased from $400 to $480. When
resubmitting the application please submit a single check made out to the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the amount of
$480. 1 am sorry to have to do this but our computer is not set up to record the
receipt of two checks.
(2) The Application shows the City of Hendersonville Wastewater Treatment- Plant,and
Collection System as receiving the wastewater collected_ at Dana -Hill. I am sure
that this is a simple,mistake sln.ce Hendersonville has no gravity line in the area of
Dana -Hill �'

Wastewater industrialnature?
♦ Most projects willer that is domestic in nature, however, if Item B.6 indicates
that the wastewater is industrial in nature, notify the Regional Office Pretreatment
Coordinator or the WQ Pretreatment Unit Central Office to determine if a pretreatment permit
is needed or if a program already in place and compliant.
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.
Adequate in ation provided regarding the proposed gravity sewer and/or force main (if
applicable)?

when needed).
♦ If the PE seal number does not show up on the web site database, call the PE Board for
verification [phone].
Drafting a Permit
♦ In order to be consistent, use the most current version of the Fast -Track permit shell. This permit
shell contains specific language with respect to the Minimum Design Criteria, regulations, and
collection system permitting. The PERCS will notify you of any changes to this permit shell.
♦ Be specific with respect the system description and information. Indicate the flow, what the project
will be serving, length and size of gravity sewer lines and force mains, etc. For projects involving
pump stations, the size of the pump stations, as well as the reliability option and any additional info
(telemetry, odor control system, etc) should be included. A sample permit is on the DWQ Intranet.
♦ Add or remove any special conditions as necessary. Please call attention to any non-standard permit
conditions in the cover letter of the permit and include the permit condition where necessary. See the
Example Special Conditions document.
♦ If the project is a modification, don't forget to include the system description from the previous permit
and void the previous permit in the language! Some of these can be tricky so feel free to run the
drafted permit through PERCS first before issuance.
It.is preferable if Fast -Tracks are saved electronically by permit number under issued year and month.

Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant
to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement
between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended).
This final permit contains no significant changes to its terms from those found in the draft permit sent
to you on November 4, 2015. However, you are also reminded of the new condition requiring
electronic reporting of discharge monitoring report (DMR) data using the Division's eDMR internet
application. This new requirement will become effective on November 1, 2016 (approximately 270
days or nine months following the effective date of the permit).
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty
(30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition,
conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6114). Unless
such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may
require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal
requirements'to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Resources or any
other Federal, State, or Local governmental permits that may be required.
You are reminded that Devil's Fork is listed as an impaired stream on North Carolina's 303(d) list.
This means that the stream does not meet all water quality standards. This stream degradation may
lead the Division to take steps, including modification' of the permit, to ensure protection of surface
water quality.

Permit NC0073393
A. (2.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[G. S. 143-215.1(b)]
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs)
and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must
submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Division anticipates
that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation in late 2013. .
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this
permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.)
• Section D. (6.)
• Section E. (5.)
Reporting
Records Retention
Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting [Supersedes Section A (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)1
Beginning no later than November 1, 2016 (270 days from the effective date of this permit), the
permittee shall begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's
eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation
(CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state
electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing,
signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the
following address:
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.

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

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

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

wastestreams with a closed cup flashpoint of less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 degrees Centigrade
using the test methods specified in 40 CFR 261.21;
(2) Pollutants which cause corrosive structural damage to the POTW, but in no case discharges with pH lower
than 5.0, unless the works is specifically designed to accommodate such discharges;
(3) Solid or viscous pollutants in amounts which cause obstruction to the flow in the POTW resulting in
Interference;
(4) Any pollutant, including oxygen demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.) released in a Discharge at a flow rate
and/or pollutant concentration which will cause Interference with the POTW;
(5) Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the POTW resulting in Interference, but in no
case heat in such quantities that the temperature at the POTW Treatment Plant exceeds 40°C (104°F)
unless the Division, upon request of the POTW, approves alternate temperature limits;
(6) Petroleum oil, non -biodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin in amounts that will cause
Interference or Pass Through;
(7) Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapors, or fumes within the POTW in a quantity that
may cause acute worker health and safety problems; or
(8) Any trucked or hauled pollutants, except at discharge points designated by the POTW.
c. The Permittee shall investigate the source of all discharges into the POTW, including slug loads and other
unusual discharges, which have the potential to adversely impact the Permittee's Pretreatment Program and/or
the operation of the POTW.
The Permittee shall report such discharges into the POTW to the Director or the appropriate Regional Office.
Any information shall be provided orally within 24 hours from the time the Permittee became aware of the
circumstances. A written submission shall also be provided within 5 days of the time the Permittee becomes
aware of the circumstances. The written submission shall contain a description of the discharge; the
investigation into possible sources; the period of the discharge, including exact dates and times; if the
