Regarding your request for rescission of the subject NPDES permit, staff of the
Asheville Regional Office has confirmed that this permit is no longer required.
Therefore, in accordance with your request, NPDES Permit No. NCO075311 is
rescinded, effective immediately.
If in the future you wish to again discharge wastewater to the State's surface waters,
you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES Permit. Operating a facility without

$10,000 per day.
If it would be helpful to discuss this matter further, I would suggest that you contact
the Roy Davis of the Asheville Regional Office at 828- 251-6208 or Rob Lang of our

Dear Permittee:

NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
LSQ91suu
February 10, 2000
FEB 17 2000
Subject: Renewal of NPDES Permit NCO075311
MUD CREEK WWTP
HENDERSON County
The subject permit expires on September 30, 2000. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC
2H.0105(e)) requires that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the
current permit.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than
April 3, 2000. Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date will result in a civil assessment of at least
$250.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after September 30, 2000 (or if continuation of the permit is
desired), the current permit must be renewed. Operation of wastewater treatment works or continuation of
discharge after September 30, 2000 would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and could result in
assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Robert
Farmer of the Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 531. You may also contact
the Asheville Regional Office at [phone] to begin the rescission process.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must
submit with the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact me. My telephone
number, fax number and e-mail address are listed at the bottom of this page.

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

Part II
Page 2 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples
collected .during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This
limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the .sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the -samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum -daily concentration" is the'concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily
Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples
collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the
geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is
identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in.Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of
dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a
calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is
considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily
average" in the text of Part I.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is *the average of all samples taken. over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part 1 of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March,
April through June, July through September, and October through December.

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

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

Page 9 of 14
5. is
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the
reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent
caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment
facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such
technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that.
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this
permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has
the burden of proof.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of
wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-2151 and in a manner such
as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable
waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations
governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued
by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and
modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The
permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of
Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit
is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing
Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices.
7. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation,
Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the
discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by
means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent.

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
3 ..EN4C
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33
USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled
and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during
such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days
the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum. by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average"
in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight.of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified.as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. Ile "'average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found
each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

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

Part II

7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD):. The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded
during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling,
when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of.-
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the
sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by
use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment
system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of
flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time
of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time
intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the
detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval
between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less

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

judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment
downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors
beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance
to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities,
inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper
operation.
b: Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and

Re: NPDES Application for renewal of
NPDES Permit No. NCO075311
Mud Creek WWTP
Henderson County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Lucas,
If I may, I would like to provide you with some information concerning
Henderson County's request for the renewal of the above referenced
Permit. In 1986 Henderson County forged an Agreement with
Hendersonville for Hendersonville to treat 500,000 gallons of wastewater
per day. for Henderson County. Henderson County then spent over
$2,000,000 to construct an interceptor and collector sewer system in the
southeastern section of the County. The new system was designed to
connect to the Hendersonville system. After the construction was
complete Hendersonville refused to allow Henderson County to discharge
wastewater from its new system into Hendersonville 's system because the
two entities interpreted the 1986 Henderson County/Hendersonville
Agreement differently. Henderson County had.to secure the Order of a
Judge to force Hendersonville to allow Henderson County to connect.
With this history and with the situation where Hendersonville is
apparently near or over the capacity of their existing WWTP, Henderson
County believes that it is crucial for this Permit to be renewed.
Henderson County has gone to great efforts and expense to construct an
interceptor and collector sewer system to help create jobs and provide
a higher standard of living. Henderson. County feels that our Permit
should be renewed as an insurance policy in case Henderson County needs
more or faster wastewater service than Hendersonville is willing or able
to provide. If Hendersonville is placed under a.moratorium or is
otherwise unable or unwilling to provide sewer service to Henderson
County, hundreds of excellent jobs could be lost. This would be a
terrible price for Henderson County to have to pay because the State
wouldn't renew our Permit.

RE: Mud Creek Water and Sewer District
Mtn. Home pump station malfunction
Dear Mr. White:
This letter is to provide you information concerning a malfunction at our Mtn. Home
pump station that resulted in a small amount of overflow into a ditch along Industrial Park
Road.
The overflow amount was minimal, which was just an amount that came out between the
manhole lid and cover. The overflow did not enter any stream.
Both pumps at the station site malfunctioned. The findings were that both implellers were
clogged.
The pump station is now in normal operation.
To prevent any future overflows, we are requiring Kyocera Industrial Ceramics to do
filtering and settling of their process waste and also we plan to order spare pump parts for
emergencies.
Kyocera is currently trying to implement a plan to clean up their industrial process
discharge.
If you have -any questions or need additional information, please call.
Sincerely,

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

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

7. Other Measurements
Flow. (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total dailv flows recorded
during the calendar month.
b An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling
when both the sample and flog will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow- measurement" is a measureofdischarge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the i1frequent times when there may be no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the i; ow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample steal. :_: ;t of:
(1.) a series of grab samples collected at equal tir ,e intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined v a preset number of gallons passing the
sampling point. Flow measurement bets sample interyals.shall be determined by
use of a flow- recorder and totalizer, an ' present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater.than 1/24 e expected total daily flow at the treatment
system. or
(3) a single. continuous sample collected m :. 4 hour period proportional to the rate of
fflow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval h,een influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval tween effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time
of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time
intervals evenly spaced over the 2.4 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the
detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval
between effluent grab samples be greater than six (C) hours nor the number of samples less
than four (4) during a.24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of ?deans
Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the .number of individual values-.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of
the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric
mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual
values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be.
considered to be one (1).

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

Mud Creek Water and Sewer District
Henderson County ,
This project involves a sewer line projected to be constructed in
early spring of 1994.' The ultimate flow is expected to be 100,000
gallons per day, projected to occur within three years. Prior to
construction, a permit for the sewer line extension would have to be
obtained from the Division of Environmental Management. Currently, the
Mud Creek Water and Sewer district is served by sewer lines discharging
to the City of Hendersonville's collection system and wastewater
treatment plant.
When the application for the sewer line extension is reviewed,
careful consideration will have to be given to remaining capacity in
the Hendersonville wastewater treatment plant. Although current flows
are around 1_ million gallons per day less than the permitted flow, in
the spring of 1993 the flow exceeded the permitted capacity for the
month of April. In addition, flows for the month of March were within
10,000 gallons per day of the permitted flow. Although this was
attributed to heavy snow melt and rains, it does indicate a problem
with inflow and infiltration which could potentially increase flows
again during periods of heavy precipitation.

Currently there is around 3901000 gallons per day of flow which
has been permitted to the Hendersonville plant, but.which is not yet
tributary to the -plant. It is estimated by the City of -Hendersonville
that repairs have eliminated 637,000 gallons per day of potential
inflow and infiltration, however, the amount of excess flow which will
occur during wet periods is difficult to predict.
In short, there has been times when this office could not have
recommended approval of a permit for this amount of additional flow.
Plans for expansion of the Hendersonville plant or for a temporary
Mud Creek Water and Sewer District plant do not coincide with the
projected construction schedule for the Appleland Industrial Park sewer
line. The ability of the Hendersonville plant to accept this amount of
additional flow and remain within its currently permitted flow limit
hinges upon how much inflow and infiltration has actually been
eliminated from the system. This determination will be made on all
available data at the time the application for sewer line extension is
reviewed.
It is recommended that the project be approved. A state permit
for construction of the sewer line will have to be obtained to provide
sewer service for this area.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

Connection to Regional Sewer System: The following information was
gathered from the files and from cor,respondence and conversations
with Tom Kilpatrick, Director, Hendersonville Water and Sewer
Department, and William Morris, Jr.-_ engineering consultant for
Henderson County.
The service area for this proposed facility is currently partially
sewered. The intercepter is r(­nQcted to the City of
Hendersonville with a 1.0 mgd lift station. The need to maintain
this discharge permit is for the fnl.lowi.ng reasons:
- The City of Hendersonville's flow is approaching its capacity.
- The county has utilized 92,000 gal. of a 150,000 gal. flow
allocation from the City Of Fienrler•.,nnville.
- Existing potential sewer taps, ,)Ion7 existing county sewer lines
would utilize the remaining .f_Jow :11 1 ocation.
- The City and the County ea.ch p1 1— Locate a large regional
wastewater treatment plant neat Ili- mouth of Mud Creek, however,
they are not yet in agreement-. o, , cooperative effort in
relation to sharing the cost.. of t-hr, plant and interceptor lines.
- Even if the location of a regional l)Iant proceeds smoothly, the
remaining capacity of the Hendei-- onj i. lle plant and/or the flow
allocation from the City of Heml­—:r nvi lle to the county may be
utilized prior to the availability - the additional capacity,
resulting in a moratorium on connections for the City of
Hendersonville and/or Henderson C'n,:nry.
- The availability of this NPDES Pe,,ni.t. will assure the option of
connection of numerous package as the sewer lines are
made available in the Mud Creel; 0i';,i n.age basin south of
Hendersonville to a common coll.er.-I-inn and treatment system,
prior to expansion of the City or we,id.ersonville's facility or
construction of a regional treatment facility and

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RFC~OMMENDATIONS
The proposed treatment facility is in extended aeration secondary
treatment facility. Existing limits could not be consistently met
without tertiary treatment. Also Regional Office recommends
aerobic sludge digestion in .Lieu of anaerobic due to odor
concerns. These items should either be revised in the supporting
information supplied with the applic-�-)ti.on for renewal or addressed
in the cover letter with the renew(-(-] permit.
It is recommended that the permit 1-- renewed as requested.

The location of the proposed WWTP has already been purchased by
Henderson County. The 7.5 acre site is situated along the existing 8" diam'
eter force main at approximately the mid -point between the existing Lift
Station and the proposed discharge point in Mud Creek.
C. PROJECT SERVICE AREA
The project service area is a 9,000 acre unincorporated area of medium
density residential development lying along US Highway 25 and US Highway 176
on the southeast boundary of Hendersonville: Bat Fork Creek provides drain-
age for the area. Interpolation of the 1990 census tract data indicates
approximately 5,420 people in 2,394 houses. lives in' the Bat Fork Service
Area., The East Henderson High School, Blue -Ridge Community College and the
East Flat Rock Community Development have already eliminated their package
plants and are. now discharging 40,400 gpd to the collector system. Six
private businesses have small package wastewater treatment plants ranging in
-1-

size from 10,000 to 25,000 gpd amounting to 146,200 gpd that will eventually
discharge to this treatment plant when additional interceptors are extended.;
I
Using 250 gpd per existing household, the average daily wastewater
flows if all the existing residences and existing private dischargers were
connected to a gravity collection system discharging to the proposed WWTP,'
would be 785,100 gpd. However, it seems unlikely that full utilization
would occur in less than a.ten year period.
It is also expected that actual water usage rates will fall in the 150
gpd per household range that has been experienced in other areas of similar
development in the County. Therefore, the initial 300,000 gpd should serve
the immediate needs of the service area for a time period sufficient for
Henderson County to solidify its County -wide Wastewater Management Plan;
Preliminary indications are that a regional WWTP located downstream on the
French Broad River near the confluence with Mud Creek will be needed in the
near future.
When this becomes a reality, this 300,000 gpd treatment plant will be
abandoned.
II. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL FEASIBILITY OF NON -DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES
A. CONNECTION TO CITY OF HENDERSONVILLE SEWERAGE SYSTEM
When this treatment plant was originally permitted, Henderson County
was negotiating with the City of Hendersonville to accept the wastewater
flows to be generated in the Bat Fork Creek Service Area as well as other
areas. The City agreed to accept up to 500,000 gpd in an agreement dated
.1986. However, after Henderson County built the Bat Fork Creek interceptors
and collector lines and the sewer lift station to pump to Hendersonville's
24" interceptor, the City refused to accept more than 150,000 gpd. The City
has given the County notice that their WWTP on Mud Creek is running at more
than 90% of its capacity and no more flows can be accepted until they build
a new 6.0 mgd plant on the French Broad River.
Henderson County feels that it cannot depend on Hendersonville to pro-
vide sufficient capacity for future County service area needs. Therefore
the construction of this proposed 300,000 gpd treatment plant is necessary
to provide for continued growth in this service area.
B. CONNECTION TO THE FUTURE HENDERSON COUNTY WWTP
As stated in the general information section, Henderson County is con-
sidering performing a long-range wastewater masterplan that will evaluate
the feasibility of a large WWTP to be located on the French Broad River
below the Mud Creek confluence. The development of this plan will require
significant cooperative efforts between Henderson County and the City of
Hendersonville so that all the wastewater service needs of both are taken
into consideration.
- 2

Approximately 48,500 feet of interceptor would be necessary to connect
the proposed service area to the probable future plant site.- Therefore, it
would seem very likely that this would be one of the last areas that the
future WWTP would serve_ Also experience shows that planning, siteing,
permitting, designing, and constructing such a facility and the necessary
interceptors could take five to seven years.
Therefore, this non -discharge alternative is not feasible for the more
immediate needs of this service area.
C. SUBSURFACE DISPOSAL SYSTEM
It is not usually recommended to attempt subsurface disposal for flows
this large. Septic tanks are already failing in this area due to ,poor
draining soils and high water.table.
Therefore, this non -discharge alternative 'is not feasible for this
project.
D_ SPRAY IRRIGATION SYSTEM
Most of the available lands surrounding the proposed WWTP site are in
or almost in the flood plain of Mud Creek. Therefore, there is not suffi-
cient suitable acre available for spray irrigation of this size facility.
Therefore, this non -discharge alternative is not feasible for this
project.
III. STREAM DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVE
It is believed that the renewal of the stream -discharge permit is the
only feasible alternative for wastewater treatment of this service area.
Since this is the only feasible alternative, project cost comparisons are
not an issue_ Therefore, no project costs are included in this evaluation.

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

. a
Part II
Page 12 of 14
6. Concentration'Measurement
a.. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges
samples and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, "divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of 'a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected
during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" or
"Daily Average" under,"Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b: The "average weekly concentration, other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during
that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar
week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other
Limits" in Part I of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant
discharge during a calendar day. It is identified as "Daily Maximum"
under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration, other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during a'calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The
daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite
sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic -mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The
average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean
of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation
is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the
permit.

Part II
Page 13 of 14
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours
average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean
of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time
of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the
total discharge.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If .a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time
of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which
case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
b. Grab Sample:' Grab samples are individual samples collected over a
period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken
manually.
9. Calculation of Means
a. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation
of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of
the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of
individual values. The geometric.mean is equivalent to the antilog of
the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For
purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).
C. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the
respective flows.

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

Subject: Renewal of NPDES Permit No:-NC0075311
Henderson County
Dear Permittee:
The subject permit expires on 950930. North Carolina General Stature 143.215.1(c) requires that an application for
permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date. As of the date of this letter, the Division of
Environmental Management has not received an application for renewal. If continuation of the permit is desired,
failure to request renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration will. result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00.
Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If operation of a discharge or waste treatment facility is to occur -after the expiration date of the permit, or if
continuation of the permit is desired, it must not be allowed to expire. Operation of the waste treatment works or
continuation of a discharge after the expiration date would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in
assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
A renewal application shall consist of the following information:
1. A letter requesting the renewal.
2. The completed application form (copy attached), signed and submitted in triplicate:
3. A processing fee (see attached schedule) in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b). The -application processing fee
is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate.
4. Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of the Code of Federal`Regulations, Part 122 shall also submit a
priority pollutant analysis in accordance with Part 122.21.
5. Facilities which have not been constructed within the last permit cycle and are therefore, considered "new"
facilities, shall also submit an Engineering Alternatives Analysis, referenced in 15A NCAC Subchapter 2H .0103 and
Subchapter 2B .0201(c).
6. If the facility covered by this permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative description of the sludge
management plan must be submitted with the application for renewal.
In addition to penalities referenced above, a permit renewal request received after the expiration date will be
considered as a new application and will require the higher application fee.
15A NCAC 2H .0105(b)(2) requires payment of an annual Administrative and Compliance Monitoring fee for most
permitted facilities. You will be billed separately for that fee (if applicable), after your permit is approved.

b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: French Broad 04-03-02.
C. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream
uses: Receiving stream channel has been modified by removal
of streambank vegetation and filling in the area of the
discharge point. Mud Creek separates urban areas to the west
from suburban areas to the east. The receiving stream drains
adjacent commercial, residential, and industrial areas of
Hendersonville for several miles along this section of its
length. Its assimilative capacity has been over -allocated,
resulting in a study recommending 10/2 limits for BOD and
ammonia. See "A Water Quality Analysis of the Proposed and
Existing Discharges to Mud and Clear Creeks in
Hendersonville, NC".

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the permit be renewed as requested.
The need to maintain this discharge permit is for the following
reasons:
- The City of Hendersonville's flow is approaching its capacity.
- The county's flow is approaching its allocation from the city.
The City and County each plan to locate a regional wastewater
treatment plant near the mouth of Mud Creek, however, they are
not yet in agreement on a cooperative effort in relation to
sharing the cost of the plant and interceptor lines.
Page 4

- Even if the location of a regional plant proceeds smoothly, the
remaining capacity of the Hendersonville plant and/or the flow
allocation from the City of Hendersonville to the county may be
utilized prior to the availability of the additional capacity,
resulting in a moratorium on sower connections for the City of
Hendersonville and/or Henderson County.
- The availability of this NPDES Permit, which is regional in
nature, may be needed to allow the option of connection of
numerous package plants to a common collection and treatment
system.
The proposed treatment facility is an extended aeration secondary
treatment facility. Existing limits could not be consistently met
without tertiary treatment. Also Regional Office recommends
aerobic sludge digestion in lieu of anaerobic due to odor
concerns.

Subject: NPDES PERMIT NO. NC0075311
HENDERSON COUNTY
Dear Permittee:
The subject permit issued on 8/11/89 expires on 3/31/94. North
Carolina General Statute,(NCGS) 143-215.1(c) requires that an
application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to the
expiration date. As of the date of this letter, the Division of
Environmental Management had not received an application for renewal.
If operation of a discharge or waste treatment facility is to occur
after the permit's expiration date, or if continuation of the permit is
desired, it must not be allowed to expire. A renewal request must be
submitted no later than 180 days prior to the permit's expiration date.
Operation of the waste treatment works or continuation of a discharge
after the expiration date would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1
and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per
day. If continuation of the permit is desired, failure to request
renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration will result in a civil
assessment of at least $250.00; larger penalties may be assessed
depending upon the delinquency of'the request.
A renewal application shall consist of the following information:
1. A letter requesting the renewal.
2. The completed application form (copy attached), signed and
submitted in triplicate, referenced in Title 15 of North Carolina
Administrative Code (15A NCAC) Subchapter 2H .0105(a).
3. A processing fee (see attached schedule) in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H .0105(b). The application processing fee is based on the
design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate, listed in the
first categories of facilities.
4. Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, Part 122 shall also submit a
priority pollutant -analysis in accordance with Part 122.21.

5. Facilities which have not been constructed within the last
permit cycle and are therefore, considered "new" facilities,
shall also submit an Engineering Alternatives Analysis,
referenced in 15A NCAC Subchapter 2H .0103 and Subchapter
2B .0201(c).
6. If the facility covered by this permit contains some type of
treatment works, a narrative description of the sludge management
plan must be submitted with the application for the renewal.
In addition to penalities referenced above, a permit renewal
request received after the expiration date will be considered as
a new application and will require the higher application fee.
15A NCAC 2H .0105(b)(2) requires payment of an annual
Administrative and Compliance Monitoring fee for most permitted
facilities. You will be billed separately for that fee (if
applicable), after your permit is approved.
The letter requesting renewal, the completed Permit application,
and appropriate fee should be sent to:
Permits and Engineering Unit
Division of Environmental Management
Post Office Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
The check should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of

Dear Mr. Drake:
On April 17, 1989, the Division of Environmental Management issued NPDES Permit No.
NCO075311 to Mud Creek Water and Sewer District. A review of the permit file has indicated
that an error was inadvertently made in the permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding herewith
modifications to the subject permit to correct the error. These permit modifications are issued
to insert the correct Summer & Winter weekly average effluent limitation of 45.0 mg/I for
Total Suspended Residue.
Please find enclosed an amended Winter & Summer effluent limitations page which should be
inserted into your permit. The old Summer & Winter effluent pages should be discarded. All
other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect.
These permit modifications are issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit
are unacceptable to you, you may request a waiver or modification pursuant to Regulation 15
NCAC 213.0508(b) by written request to the Director identifying the specific issues to be
contended. Unless such request is made within 30 days following receipt of this permit, this
permit shall be final and binding. Should your request be denied, you will have the right to
request an adjudicatory hearing.

letter of the existence of this permit and of the need to obtain a permit in the
name of the prospective owner. A copy of the letter shall be forwarded to the
Division of Environmental Management.
4. Additional Monitoring by Permittee
If the-permittee monitors any pollutant at the location(s) designated herein
more frequently than required by this permit, using approved analytical methods
as specified above, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the
calculation and reporting of the values is required in the DMR. Such increased
frequency shall also be indicated. The DEM may require more frequent monitoring
or the monitoring of other pollutants not required in this permit by written
notification.
5. Averaging of Measurements .
Calculations for limitations which require averaging of measurements shall
utilize an arithmetic mean unless otherwise specified by the Permit Issuing
Authority in the permit.
6. Noncompliance Notification
The permittee shall report by telephone to either the central office or the
appropriate regional office of the Division as soon as possible, but in
no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following the
occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following:

Part II
Page 8 of 14
a. Any occurrence at the water pollution control facility which results in
the discharge of significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in
quantity or characteristic, such as the dumping of the.contents of a
sludge digester; the known passage of a slug of hazardous substance
through the facility; or any other unusual circumstances.
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons,, that render
the facility incapable of adequate wastewater- treatment such as mechanical
or electrical failures of pumps, aerators, compressors, etc.
C. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment facility
resulting in a by-pass directly to receiving waters, without treatment
of all or any portion of the influent to such station or facility.

Part II
Page 11 of 14
3. EMC:
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as
amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Dgy Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It -is
therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by
the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is
identified as "Daily Average" or "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of
all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week
(Sunday -Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,
divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured
during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by
adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then
dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a
pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is
taken during any calendar day the weight -of pollutant calculated from
it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as
"Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all
daily discharges sample and/or measured during the calendar year on
which daily discharges are -sampled and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is.,
therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of
pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as
"Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

Part II.
Page 12 of 14
Concentration -Measurement .
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges
samples and/or measured during -a calendar month on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily -
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected
during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" or
"Daily Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during.a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during
that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts,for samples collected during a calendar
week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other
Limits" in Part I of the ,permit.
C. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant
discharge during a calendar day. It is identified as "Daily Maximum"
under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or"
measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The
daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite
sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic -mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The
average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric 'mean
of the counts for samples collected during -a calendar year. This limitation
is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the
permit. - -

Part II
Page 13 of 14
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours
average flow,. averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean
of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" ,is a measure of flow taken at the time
of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the
total discharge.
8. Types of Samples,
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between,influerit grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time
of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which
case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a
period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken
manually.
9. Calculation of Means
a. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation
of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of.values is the Nth root of
the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of
individual values. The geometric meanis equivalent to the antilog of
the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For
purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).
C. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration,times its respective flow divided by the summation of the
respective flows.

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

RE: Mud Creek South WWTP
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Mouberry:
Enclosed for your review and approval please find an
Application for Permit to Discharge treated wastewater from a
proposed new facility.
The Henderson County Board of Commissioners are faced with a
serious need to construct public wastewater collection system
facilities in the rapidly growing urban area surrounding the City
of Hendersonville. After several years of negotiating with the
City, it now appears that the only way the system can be
developed is by constructing an independent wastewater treatment
facility.
Therefore, enclosed is an application and supporting
documentation to assist in your review. Please note that
any substantial capacity at the City's wastewater treatment
facility that had been reserved for Henderson County's use should
be re -allocated to this new facility.
,Should you have any questions or need additional informa-
tion, please feel free to call on our office.

ENGINEERING PROPOSAL
for
MUD CREEK SOUTH WWTP
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Henderson County Board of Commissioners has received
strong community interest in the development of a central
wastewater collection system to serve an area of the Mud Creek
drainage basin located just south of the City of Hendersonville.
This is a rapidly growing suburban area that has developed on
individual septic tank/ground water absorption systems.
This project will initially involve the construction of
approximately 19,000 feet of wastewater collection lines. It is
anticipated that within the first 12 months after construction is
completed, 300 service connections will be made to the system.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT ALTERNATIVE
The service area has been developing with individual septic
tank systems. This is unsatisfactory for a densely populated
suburban area. The proposed sewer collection system will serve
an area immediately adjacent to the City of Hendersonville. For
several years the Board of Commissioners attempted to negotiate
an agreement with the City to provide for use of their wastewater
treatment facility.
These negotiations have not been successful; therefore, the
County has decided that the public's need for central sewer
service demands that the project proceed with its own wastewater
treatment facility.
PROPOSED TREATMENT SYSTEM
It is proposed to install a 300,000 GPD conventional
extended aeration type wastewater treatment facility at a site
outside the City of Hendersonville. An effluent sewer lift
station will transport the treated effluent to its discharge
point on Mud Creek.
The system will be constructed in a manner such that the
treatment plant can be bypassed to permit ultimate discharge to
either the City of Hendersonville system or a larger central
County -owned wastewater treatment facility.
The Board of County Commissioners has established the Mud
Creek Water & Sewer District to own and operate the wastewater
collection and treatment facilities to be constructed under this
project.
PROJECT LOCATION MAP
The attached location map shows the project service area and
the proposed effluent discharge point. This Engineering Proposal
and Application to Discharge have been prepared by William G.
Lapsley, P.E., of Hendersonville, N.C., with the approval of th-
Henderson County Board of Commissioners.
