Dear Mr. Davidson,
This is in response to a notice of violation we received for lack of reporting for July 2017 for our NPDES
Permit #NC0042277 for City of Hendersonville Water Treatment Plant. We received this violation on April 23,
2018. The purpose of this letter is to answer how this happened as well as how we addressed it and will make
sure it doesn't happen in the future. Part of this is based on emails, phone calls and memory of events. To
start we will look at the process of getting this new permit. First of all back in March of 2017 we were in
contact with Mr. John Weaver with the USGS to get information needed to be sent to
Brianna Young [e-mail] with NCDEQ concerning the 7Q10 and 30Q2 study information
needed to complete our new permit. There was some confusion as this process went along. Ron Reid had sent
information requests to the wrong email address, as well Keith Kirchner/ORC had been a mediator between
Mr. Weaver and Ms. Young and had asked the two of them to communicate directly to speed the process up
and he stated that he wasn't understanding how he could really help them. These things took place in March
and April of 2017. On April 17, 2017 Mr. Weaver sent Ron Reid, Keith Kirchner as well as Ms. Young the
information that had been requested about the 7Q10 and. 30Q2 studies. This process was in the works at the

time, however there must have been a lack of communication from either or both ourselves and NCDEQ as to
the finality of the process. Had there been communication we would have known when to expect the new
permit.
So at this point we find ourselves in July of 2017 on the 18th to be exact when Keith Kirchner had gotten
curious and called Ms. Young to ask about our new permit that we hadn't received yet. That phone call
prompted an email from Ms. Young stating that she had mailed City Manager John Connet a copy of the new
permit that had an effective date of June 1, 2017 the date on the permit was May 10, 2017 as the mailed date.
As you can imagine Keith sent everyone and email as well as verbally communicating the urgency of this
situation. We immediately changed our sampling procedures to meet all the requirements outlined in the new
permit. We have been very proactive concerning this situation and have put better communication
procedures in place to prevent this in the future. Keith Kirchner and Gary Norton also called Janet Cantwell
[e-mail] at NCDEQ and let her,know what had happened and what we were doing to
address this situation, we also made note of this on the eDMR reports. It seems that there was basically a lack
of communication in multiple areas that caused this problem but once we at the Water Treatment Facility
knew what needed to be done we reacted very promptly to do all we could to meet all the requirements of
this new permit and to assure this doesn't happen again going forward.

Hendersonville WTP
NPDES permit NCO042277
Henderson County
The Division has reviewed your application, received on August 28, 2015, for renewal of NPDES
permit NC0042277. To enable us to complete our review in accordance with N.C.G.S. 143-215.1.
and 15A NCAC 211.0105, we need additional or revised information regarding your discharge:
Please provide five (5) days of Total Hardness (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)) data for the water
treatment plant effluent and upstream from Outfall 001 for Juniper Branch.
The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Committee (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA subsequently_
approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016 with some exceptions. The NC Division of Water
Resources NPDES Permitting Unit is required to implement the new dissolved metal standards in
all permits public noticed after April 6, 2016.
The new standards for most metals include acute standards. Further, the freshwater standards for
several metals are expressed as the dissolved form of the metals, and seven metals have hardness -
dependent equations. As a result, the NPDES Permitting Unit will need site -specific effluent
hardness data and instream hardness data, upstream of the discharge, for each facility monitoring
these metals in order to calculate permit limitations. The metal of concern for Hendersonville WTP
permit is Total Copper.
If no response is received within 60 calendar days [per 15A NCAC 211.0107(b)], the permit will be
renewed without the benefit of the additional information. Therefore, a default hardness of 25 mg/L

(CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)) will be used to calculate an effluent limit for Total Copper giving a daily

NPDES PERMIT APPLICATION - SHORT FORM C. - WTP
For discharges associated with water treatment plants
S. Type of treatment plant:
® Conventional (Includes coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation, usually followed,by
filtration and disinfection)
❑ Ion Exchange (Sodium Cycle Cationic ion exchange)
❑ Green -Sand Filter (No sodium recharge)
❑ Membrane Technology (RO, nanofiltration)
Check here if the treatment process also uses a water softener ❑
6. Description of source water(s) (i.e. groundwater, surface water)
Surface water taken from the Mills River and its tributaries.
7. Describe the treatment process (es) for the raw water: See Attached Schematic
Water is taken from Mills 'River and tributaries, coagulant and caustic added at head of
plant. Moves through flocculators and settling basins and just prior to the filters chlorine
gas and water are introduced into the flow. Water and chemistry pass's through the filters
to the exit point of the building where chlorine, orthophosphate, fluoride is added before
entering the clear well. Water is taken from clear well as needed and sodium bicarbonate
is added as water is discharged into the distribution system.
S. Describe the wastewater and the treatment processfes) for wastewater generated 'bu the
facility: Also See Attached Schematic
Waste water is generated from the backwashing, cleaning of basins as well as the sampling
process in the plant. All water flows into a common'storage area where it is collected to a
predetermined level at which time the transfer pump comes on, a solution of sodium
thiosulfate is introduced to DE chlorinate the water. The DE chlorinated solution is
pumped into one or two clarifiers (most of the time it is one). The liquid is decanted out of
the clarifiers into the receiving stream Brandy Branch.
9. Number of separate discharge points: One
Outfall Identification number(s) 001

Footnotes:
1. The permittee shall submit discharge monitoring reports electronically using the Division's eDMR
system [see A. (5)].
2. Limit and monitor only if the facility adds chlorine or chlorine derivatives to water that is eventualiy
discharged. The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 µg/1 to be in
compliance with the permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values
reported by. a North Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall
below 50 µg/l.
3. See Special Condition A.(4) for compliance schedule.
4. Fluoride should be monitored if the Permittee backwashes with fluoridated finished water.
5. Zinc should be monitored if the Permittee adds zinc orthophosphate as a corrosion inhibitor prior to
backwashing.
6. Ammonia Nitrogen should be monitored if the Permittee uses chloramines (adds ammonia to
chlorinated water) for secondary disinfection prior to backwashing.
7. Effluent Hardness sampling should be performed in conjunction with testing for hardness dependent
metals (cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, silver, and zinc).
8. The Permittee shall sample instream hardness, upstream of the facility's discharge. The sample shall
be representative of the hardness in the receiving stream. If the Permittee is a member of the
Monitoring Coalition Program, sampling for instream hardness may be waived as long as the
Monitoring Coalition agrees to sample hardness at the nearest upstream location, at a minimum
frequency of quarterly, and the Permittee has obtained approval from DVWR-NPDES Permitting Unit
that the upstream station being monitored by the Coalition is representative of the receiving stream
for this discharge. The Permittee is responsible for submitting instream hardness test results with its
permit renewal application package. If Coalition membership is cancelled or the Coalition terminates
instream hardness sampling at the approved station, the Permittee will immediately notify the
Division and resume sampling for instream hardness, upstream of its discharge.
9. Chronic 7 day test, P/F, (Ceriodaphnia dubia) at 90 %; February, May, August, and November; refer
to Special Condition A.(2). All effluent characteristic samples shall be collect and measured at the
same time as the toxicity sample.
All samples collected must be of a representative discharge.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.
A. (2) CHRONIC TOXICITY MONITORING (QUARTERLY)
[I 5A NCAC 02B .0200 et seq]
The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010, or subsequent
versions.
The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is • 90 %. The testing
shall be performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 7-day pass/fail test. The tests will be performed during the
months of February, May, August, and November. These months signify the first month of each
three month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be
Page 4 of 10

Permit NCO042277
obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final
effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code
TGP3B. Additionally, DWR Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:

Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water Sciences Section no later than 30
days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine
of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of
the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report
with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the
Water Sciences Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then
monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test
requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division
of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and
modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Tailure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls,
shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later
than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.
A. (3) PERMIT RE -OPENER: WHOLE EFFLUENT TOXICITY
[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]

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
Version 1110912011.1

VPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2of18
(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.

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"

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 "SIY'
An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(33)]:
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 (STU); 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 definition 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

DES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 15 of 18
All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]:

Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later
than 30 days after the end of the reporting,period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine
of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of
the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow .from the -facility during a month .in which toxicity monitoring .is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report
with the notation of "No .Flow" -in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the
Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee - fail to monitor during a - month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then
monthly monitoring will begin -immediately.' Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test
requirement will revert to quarterly in the. months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division
of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and
modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or -limits.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted on the DMR and AT
Forms_
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls,
shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later
than the last day of the monthfollowing the month of the .initial monitoring.

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
(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

Monthly Employee Update
Wja:er Treatment plant Ren©vation"
Project Wrapping Up
The Water and Sewer Depart-
ment is currently wrapping up a
nally designed and built in 1963 with a treatment capacity
of 6.0-MGD (million gallons per day). Prior to this plant,
the City's water supply came directly into town from to
small in -stream reservoirs located in the Pisgah National
Forest. This new treatment plant provided both mechani-
cal and chemical treatment to a water supply that had pre-
viously received very little, if any, treatment prior to reach-
ing the customers' tap. In 1980, this treatment plant was
upgraded to treat 9.0-MGD: and then to 12.0 MGD in 1990.
But, even with all of these treatment process upgrades
very little attention has been given to upgrading the
1960's vintage buildings and laboratory. The buildings
were without a central heating and, cooling system, the
laboratory had become limited for space due to the evolu-
tion of testing equipment and technology over the past 50-
years, increases in the shear number of tests that are re-
quired to be performed and the frequency in which these
tests are performed. In other words, they have outgrown
the old laboratory!
The renovation project included the addition of a confer-
ence room, plan room, office, storage room and restroom
on the third floor of the administration building (closest to
Haywood Rd.). This floor was previously used for chemical
storage and some treatment components no longer used
in the treatment process.

Dear Mr. Smith:
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 May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
This final permit includes no major changes from the draft permit sent to you on
January 18, 2006.,
Brandy Branch is listed as an impaired stream on North Carolina's 303(d) list. This stream
does not meet all water quality standards. The Division is working toward the improvement of
water quality in Brandy Branch. If the current changes to permits discharging to Brandy Branch
do not result in improved water quality, removal [or relocation] of discharges to Brandy Branch
may be necessary for the health of the stream.
Although the Division believes multiple sources cause the degradation to Brandy Branch,
we will continue to monitor compliance at your facility. If noncompliance with your permit's
effluent limits is shown to be a direct cause of stream degradation, the Division will recommend
removal of your facility's discharge. Part III of your permit requires you to "continually evaluate
all wastewater disposal alternatives and pursue the most environmentally sound alternative of the
reasonably cost effective alternatives" to surface water discharge. Such an evaluation may help
you find an alternative to surface water discharge that is more appropriate for your facility..
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.

One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sams
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 lie collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24.hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1 /24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart
during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.

In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems
having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at
intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling. period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating' hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DM or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
Facility Closure
The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage
under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level)' shall be considered =1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.

Henderson County
We have before us the plans submitted by McGill
Associates on behalf of the City of Hendersonville which are
a part of the application for Authorization to Construct a
new 500,000 gallon clarifier in parallel with an existing
500,000 gallon clarifier at the City's Mills River Water
Treatment Plant. The proposed clarifier will increase the
City's ability to operate in compliance with final effluent
limits during periods of peak water plant demand when a water
plant settling basin must be cleaned of settled alum sludge
and returned to service in a short period of time.
It is the recommendation of the Asheville Regional
Office that subject to your review, an Authorization to
Construct for the proposed new waste clarifier to serve the
Hendersonville Water Plant be issued. We noticed that McGill
Associates March 28, 2000 cover letter, refers to a 50,000
gallon clarifier. This is incorrect. The new clarifier will
Have a capacity close to 500,000 gallons. Please do not
hest ate to cali me sHoul2T you neecL to discuss this project.

NCAC 8G .0306, Classification of Physical / Chemical Systems, effective April 1, 1999. In
order to insure the proper operation and maintenance of these systems, this Rule requires that
all systems permitted for a physical / chemical process to treat wastewater be classified as
physical / chemical systems.
If the subject physical / chemical system consists of systems designed for. (1) the remediation
of contaminated groundwater, or (2) that utilizes a primarily physical process to treat
wastewaters, (with the exception of reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, and utrafiltration
systems), then that system shall be classified as a Grade I Physical / Chemical Water Pollution
Control System. Rule I5A NCAC 8G .0306(a)
If the subject physical / chemical system consists of systems that utilizes a primarily chemical
process to treat wastewaters (including those systems whose treatment processes are
augmented physical processes), they shall be classified as a Grade II Physical / Chemical
Water Pollution Control System. Reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, and utrafiltration systems
shall also be classified as Grade II Physical / Chemical Water Pollution Control System. Rule
15A NCAC 8G .0306(b)
If the water pollution control system.that has, as part of its treatment process, biological water
pollution control system that may be classified under Rule .0302, then that system shall be

Subject: Whole effluent toxicity test results
Hendersonville Water Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit # NC0042277
Henderson County
The aquatic toxicity test using a composite sample of effluent discharged from the Henderson Water
Treatment Plant has been completed. A whole effluent sample was collected February 28 by Keith
Haynes for use in an acute Ceriodaphnia dubia definitive toxicity test. The LC50 for the February 28
sample was 87.1 %, but these results should not be used for compliance purposes. Toxicity test
information follows.

The LC50 and measured water quality parameters for this sample indicate that the effluent would not be
predicted to have acute water quality impacts on receiving water. These results should not be used for
compliance purposes due to a violation of an aquatic toxicity testing protocol. The hardness criterion
of 30 to 50 mg/1 of calcium carbonate hardness was violated in test control/dilution water for this test.
Test dilution water hardness was measured at 52.4 mg/l. Actions have been taken that should correct
this problem. Please contact us if further effluent toxicity monitoring is desired.. We may be reached at

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets ofnarrative and checklists as necessary)
FACILITY DESCRIPTION:
The City of Hendersonville's Water Treatment Plant wastewater treatment facility is classified
as a class I Physical Chemical system.
Water Plant:
Consists of a conventional 12 MGD water plant which includes flash mixing, coagulation /
flocculation, sedimentation, multi -media gravity filtration, post filtration disinfection and
fluoridation using poly -aluminum chloride, (25%) sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate,
ortho/polyphosphate; chlorine and hydrofluorosilicic acid
Note: New line$ are being installed to allow for an emergency raw water intake from the French
Broad River.
Wastewater Treatment:
wive filters are routinely backwashed and five sedimentation basins are periodically cleaned,
producing wastewater which is dechlorinated using powdered sodium thiosulfate (after each
filter backwash). The 0.100 MGD of wastewater is pumped from a transfer pump station to dual
circular 500,000 gallon primary clarifiers / thickeners for sedimentation and decanting. The
effluent is discharged to Brandy Branch.
Note: The flow from the primary clarifier /thickener is the primary source of flow in Brandy
Branch, which is usually dry. upstream, unless it rains.
Sludge Management:
Solids are mechanically dewatered using a centrifuge. Dewatered sludge is disposed of at
the City of Hendersonville's WWTP and / or taken to the Palmetto Landfill in Spartanburg, SC.
PERMIT / INSPECTION / LOG:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
4-23-2008 by Jim Reid.
The permit expires on 2-28-2011. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration.
A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.

This laboratory was inspected to verify its compliance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0800 for the analysis
of environmental samples.
II. GENERAL COMMENTS:
The facility has all the equipment necessary to perform the analyses. The laboratory was clean and well organized.
The facility is. in the process of a plant upgrade, which includes a new laboratory space. Technical Assistance
documents for all certified parameters were provided at the time of the inspection. Findings A and B are new policies
that have been implemented by our program since the last inspection.
III. FINDINGS REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Quality Control
A. Finding: The laboratory must implement a system of traceability of chemicals, reagents, standards, and
consumables.
Requirement: All chemicals, reagents, standards and consumables used by the laboratory must have the
following information documented: Date Received, Date Opened (in use), Vendor, Lot Number, and
Expiration Date. A system (e.g., traceable identifiers) must be in place that links standard/reagent preparation
information to analytical batches in which the solutions are used. Documentation of solution preparation must
include the analyst's initials, date of preparation, the volume or weight of standard(s) used, the solvent and
final volume of the solution. This information as well as the vendor and/or manufacturer, lot number, and
expiration date must be retained for chemicals, reagents, standards and consumables used for a period of
five years. Consumable materials such as pH buffers and lots of pre -made standards are included in this
requirement. Ref: North Carolina Wastewater/Groundwater Laboratory Certification document, Quality
Assurance Policies for Field Laboratories.
B. Finding: The automatic pipettors have not been calibrated.
Requirement: Mechanical volumetric liquid -dispensing devices (e.g., fixed and adjustable auto-pipettors,
bottle -top dispensers, etc.) must be calibrated at least every twelve months. Each liquid -dispensing device
must meet the manufacturer's statement of accuracy. For variable volume devices used at more than one
setting, check the accuracy at the maximum, middle and minimum values. Testing at more than three
volumes is optional. When a device capable of variable settings is dedicated to dispense a single specific
volume, calibration is required at that setting only. Ref: North Carolina Wastewater/Groundwater Laboratory
Certification document, Quality Assurance Policies for Field Laboratories.

#5187 City of Hendersonville Water Plant
Comment: Technical Assistance documents and spreadsheets were provided to the laboratory. The
laboratory contacted a vendor that could perform the calibration.
Total Residual Chlorine — Standard Methods, 20th Edition, 4500 Cl G
Comment: The time of gel standard analysis was not documented. The Technical Assistance for Field Analysis of
Total Residual Chlorine document requires documentation of the time the calibration check was performed.
Laboratory staff edited the benchsheet to include this during the inspection. No further response is necessary for
this finding.
Comment: The gel standard was analyzed using the wrong meter program. The Technical Assistance for Field
Analysis of Total Residual Chlorine document requires calibration checks to be analyzed using the curve and/or
program used for* sample analysis. The analyst stated that the low level program would be used beginning
immediately. Additionally, a true value would be assigned based upon results obtained from the low level program. No
further response is necessary for this finding.
Recommendation: The annual curve verification was performed by obtaining the absorbance for each standard. It is
recommended that the actual concentration be read in order to more easily evaluate the curve. It is recommended
that the true values be 10, 25, 50, 200, and 400 pg/L. If this is implemented, the acceptance criteria are ± 25% for
values < 50 pg/L and ± 10% for values ? 50 pg/L.
Settleable Solids = Standard Methods, 20th Edition, 2540 F
Comment: Stirring or spinning of the cone after forty five minutes was not documented. The North Carolina
Wastewater/Groundwater Laboratory Certification document, Quality Assurance Policies for Field Laboratories, states
that the forty five minute stir time must be documented. The benchsheet was updated at the time of the inspection to
include this documentation. No further response is necessary for this finding.
pH — Standard Methods, 20th Edition, 4500 H+ B
Comment: The time of analysis was not documented. The North Carolina Administrative Code, 15A NCAC 2H .0805
(g) (1) requires, Data pertinent to each analysis must be maintained for five years. Certified Data must consist of date
collected, time collected, sample site, sample collector, and sample analysis time. The field benchsheets must
provide a space for the signature or initials of the analyst, and proper units of measure for all analyses. The
benchsheet was updated at the time of the inspection to include the analysis time. No further response is
necessary for this finding.
IV. PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION:
The paper trail consisted of comparing field testing records and contract lab reports to Discharge Monitoring
Reports (DMRs) submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. Data were reviewed for the City of
Hendersonville Water Treatment Plant (NPDES permit # NC0042277) for June, July, and. August, 2009. No
transcription errors were detected. The facility appears to be doing a good job of accurately transcribing data.
V. CONCLUSIONS:
Correcting the above -cited findings will help this lab to produce quality data and meet certification requirements.
The inspector. would like to thank the staff for its assistance during the inspection and data review process. Please
respond to all findings.

Dear Ms. Frazier,
As you are aware The City. of Hendersonville Water and Waste Water Plants•will be in
the process of upgrading our facilities within the next few months. During this time we
will be upgrading the Waste Water Plant that discharges water to the Brandy Branch. We
discussed earlier we are adding Sodium Thiosolifate. to the backwash water currently and
it is reducing the level of chlorine. But as you might expect, since different people wash
the filters at different times the sodium thiosulfate is not -always added in the right
amount or consistently.
We would like to try putting a cartridge type de -chlorinator system on the outlet pipe
going to Brandy Branch next month. The temporary system would allow us to'
consistently get' information that is without potential errors in it. ,This would be a trial
only and used until the permanent. system is operational. We expect the permanent
system to be installed by February at the latest.
If we aren't able to meet the. -new regulations consistently with this effort while the
contractors are installing the permanent system then another direction will„have to be
taken:
Please advise me if you find the above acceptable with this. letter or do I need.to get a
permit done for this? If you would please contact me at 828 891-7779 and advise me of
your thoughts on this.
Thank you for your help and consideration.

Maintenance - Field
Mr. Gary Francies
Mr. Keith Kirchner, Mr. Ron Reid
This laboratory was inspected to verify its compliance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0800 for
the analysis of environmental samples.
II. GENERAL COMMENTS:
The staff is congratulated for doing a good job of maintaining the Field Testing Certification program.
Effective October 2007, the facility will be required to analyze low level Total Residual Chlorine (TRC)
to 28 pg/L. The facility has all the equipment necessary to perform the analyses. Technical assistance
was provided regarding the requirements for the low level TRC analyses. Most data appeared
accurate. Documentation needs to be improved. Some further quality control procedures need to be
implemented.
III. DEFICIENCIES, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
NOTE: All of the following comments are new requirements or policies that have been implemented since
the last inspection.
Documentation
A. COMMENT: (New Policy) The time the pH and TRC meters are calibrated needs to be
documented. This is considered pertinent information.
REQUIREMENT: Data pertinent to each analysis must be maintained for five years. Certified data
must consist of date collected, time collected, samples site, sample collector, and sample analysis
time. The field bench sheets must provide a space for the signature of the analyst, and proper units of
measure for all analyses. Ref: 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (g) (1).
PH
B. COMMENT (New Policy): The laboratory needs to verify the Automatic Temperature Compensator
(ATC) of the pH meter annually (every twelve months).
REQUIREMENT: There have been some changes made by the Certification Program. We have new
policies for ATC verification of pH meters. The following must be performed on an annual (12 month)
basis:

0
IVA
Page 2
Automatic Temperature Compensator Check (ATC) for pH meter, performed every 12 months :
1. Take a buffer solution and cool to below 10°C and read the temperature. Analyze the buffer solution
at that temperature. Document the temperature and the measured pH value obtained on the log sheet.
2. Raise the temperature of the buffer solution to approximately 250C.Document the temperature and
the measured pH value on the log sheet.
3. Raise the temperature of the buffer solution to approximately 35°C. Document the temperature and
the measured pH value on the log sheet.
4. Repeat with additional temperature adjustments and pH readings as necessary to ensure the
temperature usually measured for samples has been bracketed. As the temperature increases or
decreases the value of the buffer must be within ± 0.1 S.U. of the true value of the buffer.
Ref: NC Certification Policy Statement February 2006
PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION:
A review of data was conducted. This consisted of comparing field testing
reports to Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) submitted to this Division.
November and December 2006 and January 2007. It appears the facility
accurately transcribing data. The following error was noted:
Date Parameter Location
11/15/06 Settleable Residue Effluent
Value on
bench sheet
No data on bench sheet
records and contract lab
Data were reviewed for
is doing a good job of
Value on
DMR
< 0.1 ml/L
In order to avoid questions of legality, it is strongly recommended that an amended DMR be submitted
to this Division.
V. CONCLUSIONS:
This laboratory is doing a good job overall. Correcting the above items should help to produce quality
data and meet certification requirements. The inspector would like to thank the staff for their assistance
in the inspection and data review process. Please submit a written ,reply to all lettered comments.
