The Division of Water Quality (the Division) hereby issues the attached NPDES permit for the,
subject facility. We issue this permit pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute
143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007, or as subsequently amended.
The Division understands that you have made no significant alterations to your proposed
wastewater treatment facilities as authorized, and have yet to begin discharging. Based on your
renewal application received March 28, 2010, we have therefore made only minimal changes to
your previous permit by updating your facility map and treatment -component description. We have
also updated your effluent monitoring page by adding parameter codes to clarify analytical
methods, consistent with permits statewide. We have also added a footnote regarding compliance to
Total Residual Chlorine [see Permit Section, A. (1.)].
Impaired Receiving Stream. Please note that your receiving stream, Devils Fork, is listed as an
impaired waterbody on the North Carolina 303(d) Impaired Waters List. Addressing impaired
waters is a high priority with the Division, and instream data will continue to be evaluated. If there
is noncompliance with permitted effluent limits and stream impairment can be attributed to your
facility, then mitigative measures may be required.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing, upon written request submitted within
thirty (30) days after receiving this letter. Your request must take the form of a written petition

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
(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
Version 1012912010

NPDES Permit Standard Coi .
Page 2
only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions
also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect
effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-
hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is
calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration
comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the
arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in
the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal
operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit
parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWQ or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission
EPA
The United States Environmental Protection Agency
Facility Closure
Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow
this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered =1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA.
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.
Version 1012912010

disposal options.
Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs)
All POTWs are required to prevent the introduction of pollutants into the POTW which will interfere with the
operation of the POTW, including interference with its use or disposal of municipal sludge, or pass through the
treatment works or otherwise be incompatible with such treatment works. [40 CFR 403.2]
All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42 (b)]:
1. Any new introduction of pollutants into the POTW from an indirect discharger, regardless of the means of
transport, which would be subject to section 301 or 306 of CWA if it were directly discharging those
pollutants; and
2. Any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants being introduced by an indirect discharger as
influent to that POTW at the time of issuance of the permit.

'Dear Mr. Schroader:
I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the requirements for sewerage collection
systems that were first established in 15 NCAC .02H .0200 in March 2000 and are now found in
15 NCAC 2T .0403, Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters, which became effective
September 1, 2006. These Regulations place significant operation, maintenance and reporting
requirements on those entities that own or operate a wastewater collection system with average
daily flows of less than 200,000 gallons per day.
These regulations are applicable to your facility. This letter is provided as -guidance
to assist you in complying with the new reporting and operations and maintenance (O&M)
requirements and to advise you that you are subject to system review, inspections and possible
enforcement, if the system is not in compliance with the regulation.
For your convenience and easy reference, a highlight of these requirements and the
following guidance are offered (see enclosed). You may find the regulations using the following
web site: http://h2o enr state nc us/p6res/Collection%2OSystems/CollectionSVstemsHome.htmi
The Asheville Regional Office will be increasing the level of oversight, compliance
activities and enforcement relating to collections systems, therefore, we wanted to be sure you
are aware of the requirements for these systems. We will be performing NPDES Wastewater
Collection System inspections sometime in the near future.

Wastewater Treatment Facility
Completion of Construction
Dear Mr. Schroader:
William G. Lapsley, P.E.
y Tweed, P.E.
n B. Jeter, P.E.
lip Ward, L.S.A.
As requested we have reviewed the current construction to date
on the wastewater treatment facility for Hidden Gap Mobile Home
Park to evaluate what would be necessary for completion of the
project. For reference enclosed is a copy of the authorization to
construct issued June 28, 1990 by. the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management. This authorization covers those items
required for the wastewater treatment facility as design by William
G. Lapsley. In addition a meeting was held May 14, 1996'at the
site with. Mr. Paul White with the Division of Environmental
Management to go over those items remaining to be constructed.
It appears that construction to date has included the tankage
portion of the wastewater treatment facility and a portion of the
gravity sanitary sewer lines. The treatment plant installed does
not contain a flow equalization nor chamber required for continuous
recording flow measurement. The treatment plant has not had any
blowers, control panel or power installed. An influent lift
station manhole has been set without any pumps, control panels or
power. The effluent lift station as show on the design plans has
not been installed. Instead a gravity outfall line has been
installed to the receiving stream to discharge below the confluence
of the two tributary streams as show on the plans. This location
is several hundred feet upstream of the discharge location as show
on the plans. This was discussed with Mr. White and he verbally
agreed that this discharge location, since it was below the
confluence of the two streams, is adequate and it will not be
necessary to extend the outfall to the originally planned discharge
point.
As result of our review and meeting with Mr. White the
following items will need to be accomplished in order for the
system to be completed and placed in operation:
1V Printed of Recycled Paper

Mr. Leonard Schroader
May 14, 1996
Page Two
1- A 4,000 Gallon Flow Equalization Tank must be installed at some
location at the head of the wastewater treatment plant. It appears
that this tank can be located such that the influent lift station
will not be needed. This will avoid the cost of influent lift
station pumps, control panel, and operating expenses. If the flow
equalization tank is not set to allow gravity flow to the flow
equalization tank, then the influent lift station will need to be
completed.
2- The existing wastewater treatment plant will require the
completion of the blowers, air piping, control panel, power supply,
and tablet chlorinator. It is our opinion that the blowers should
be installed with silencers and be located off the top of the plant
possibly on the existing block foundation pad to the side of the
plant. This is recommended to minimize noise problems associated
with blower equipment. There are.several homes near the wastewater
treatment plant. The blowers could be installed inside a sound
proof structure.
3- The authorization to construct requires continuous recording
flow measurement. A flow measuring chamber and recording equipment
will need to be installed on the effluent line at the end of the
wastewater treatment plant. This chamber will need to have
sufficient room for reaeration of the effluent to meet the permit
minimum 5 mg/1 dissolved oxygen requirement.
4- The existing sanitary sewer is standing full. of water. The
sewers will need to be drained and the lines checked for
infiltration. - - .I
Prior to operation of the facility it is required that a
certification of completion of construction be submitted by.a
registered engineer. Our firm can -provide the certification
provided the construction needed to be completed is in accordance
with the design and the sanitary sewers have been installed
properly. It will be necessary for our construction inspector to
be present during the completion of the facility.
We have been in contact with your contractor, Mr. Aaron
Hamlin, with regard to the completion of this system. Contact has
also been made with Mr. Randy Lanier with Sunbird Sales (PCI
Representative) concerning the flow equalization tank and flow
measurement. Once the system is completed a certified operator
will need to be retained to operate the system.'

Henderson County
Subject project is for a new wastewater treatment plant and
sewer system to serve a mobile home park. Comments on the
Authorization to Construct for the wastewater treatment facility
were submitted August 8, 1989. The proposed sewer system design
appears adequate: however, it is noted that the design calls for
two lots to be served by common taps. This makes the tap lines
collection sewers which should be covered in the permit.
This permit should not be issued prior to issuance of the
Authorization to Construct for the wastewater treatment facility.
This project has been under review for some time and should be
processed as soon as possible.

Dear Mr. Safrit:

Stacy K. Rhodes, R.L.S.
Steven L. Waggoner, R.L.S.
We are in receipt of your letter dated March 5, 1990., which
advised Mr. Schroader that his project application was being
returned as incomplete. Needless to say, we were very
disappointed and feel that this action was unjustified for the
following reasons:
1. I had discussed the requested change in Mr. Barlow's
letter with him about 10 days before the February 27,
1990, deadline and there was an understanding that we
would respond to his letter the next week.
2. I left telephone messages for Mr. Barlow on February 26
and 27 that were not returned. I wanted him to know our
response was forthcoming.
3. We sent our response via Federal Express and know that
it was received at 8:49 a.m. on March 1, 1990.
4. On Saturday, March 3, 1990, we received your letter
dated March 5, 1990. This came as a shock to us since
we know you had our response.
We can appreciate your need to have deadlines, however, the
return of this project seems to us to be unjustified and your
letter to Mr. Schroader seems to imply we have been unresponsive
which is not true at all.
We are returning the applicatlo-n material and a second
permit fee as requested and would appreciate a review at your
earliest convenience. i� R E C `

We are in receipt of your letter dated January 19, 1990, and
respond to your comments as follows:
I. It is our understanding that a flow equalization tank
equal to 20% of the total design flow must be provided
under current regulations. Based upon our Phase I
treatment capacity of 20,000 gpd, we have included
additional capacity at the treatment plant to provide a
total storage capability of 4,000 gallons. (See attached
revised print)
Based upon the projected slow development of this
project, we are very concerned about the installation of
the flow equalization, tank under low flow conditions.
After discussion of this matter with Gary Tweed
(Asheville Regional Office), we request that the
installation of this tank be delayed until 80% of the
design flow of the plant is attained. It is our opinion
that peak flow surges will not be -a problem until this
level of discharge to the system is reached.
2. The blower motor provided with this plant is 3 HP, 1725
RPM and according to the Roots Performance table for the
#33 frame size, we should expect to obtain approximately
73 cfm on a direct drive take -off from the motor shaft
to the blower. By inserting a pully on the motor shaft,
the speed can be increased to the 2,500 rpm and the
associated air supplied to 121 cfm as previously stated.

Mr. William Barlo 09
Page 2.
February 27, 1990
3.. Based upon your calculations, the'air requirements for
this plant should be:
Flow equalization tank 10 cfm
Aeration tank 67 cfm
Air lift pumps 20 cfm
Sludge holding 7 cfm
Post Aeration 2 cfm
106 cfm
,As stated above,, the blower unit is capable of exceeding
this requirement.
. Please let us know if you � ny further
r questions..

Dear Mr. Schroader:
This request is in response -to your letter received January 12 1990, The following item(s)
must be addressed before we can complete our review. Please note that these item(s) must be
received by February 27, 1990, in order to prevent your project from being returned as
incomplete:
1. Our regulations rewires treatment plants to be equipped with a flow equalization tank when
fluctuations in influent flow may adversely affect the performance of the facility. Your facility
must be equipped with a flow equalization tank unless you can provide data from a similar plant
proving that a flow equalization tank is not needed.
2. From the manufacturer's specifications that are provided with the application package it
appears that the blower motor needed to' supply 161 cfm blower must have a RPM rating of
3275. The blower motor that you are specifying does not meet these requirements.
If you have any questions on this matter, please call Mr. William Barlow at [phone].

We are in receipt of your letter dated November 27, 1989,
and respond to your comments as follows:
1. The facility has an influent sewer lift station which
will regulate any extreme fluctuations in sewage flow to
60 gpm. Since the initial phase of development is
20,000 GPD (80 units) (peak flow 34 gpm) and there is a
wet well capacity of 450 gallons (13 min. detention
time), I do not expect any difficulty in operating the
plant due to incoming flow rates. The biggest problem
expected is lack of biological activity due to low
flows.
2 and 3. Based upon your design criteria, we have increased
the air requirements to the following:
Aeration Tank - 67 cfm
Air Lift Pumps - 10 cfm
Sludge Holding - 7 cfm
Post Aeration - 2 cfm
TOTAL 86 cfm
The manufacturer's shop drawings indicate that the
proposed 3 HP blower unit can produce 121 cfm at 4 psi.
4. One additional set.of specifications is enclosed as
requested.
5. The post aeration tank is the effluent lift station.
Based upon the float elevations, there should be 145
gallons in storage for 14 minutes or longer. The
proposed 2 cfm aeration line should raise the D.O. limit
-well above that required by the permit.

1 . For the blowers sizing not only should you include the air required for the D.O. adjustment but
also include air delivered to the sludge holding tank and air needed for the sludge air lift pumps.
Add these two (2) figures to you total and resubmit blower specifications.
2. The pump (TDH) calculations and standard specifications that were submitted for the sewage
pump station and extended aeration plant were not adequate. Provide two (2) copies of the
previously requested information.
3. Provide specification for the flow monitoring equipment.
4. The initial size of the treatment plant (approximately double the size of wastewater treated)
will cause your treatment plant to operate inefficiently. When do expect the wastewater flow to
equal the size of the treatment facility. Has consideration been given to initially constructing a
10,000 GPD treatment facility.

We are in receipt of your letter dated August 16, 1989,
requesting additional information for the subject project.
Please note that we are transmitting herewith three (3)
copies of revised plans which show a 20,000 gpd wastewater
treatment facility (in lieu of a 10,000 gpd plant) and the
proposed future phase II facility. The applicant is not sure
where the additional gravity sewer lines will be installed at
this time to serve an unspecified 41 units, therefore, we have
noted this as 10,000 gpd reserve capacity.
In addition to the information, our response to your
comments is as follows:
1. The influent lift station has a wet well capacity of 450
gallons. Under Phase I conditions (41 units), the
anticipated average flow rate will be approximately 7
gpm. The grinder pumps are sized for the peak flow
condition under the final development plan (54,000 gpd)
which is approximately 60 gpm. The proposed Phase I
treatment plant is sized at 20,000 gpd (14 gpm
average/35 gpm peak). Therefore, under the Phase I
conditions, the flow rate into the plant will have to be
adjusted to approximately 35 gpm.
This is necessary to avoid a wash out through the plant
due to high incoming flows. When the full development
of the facility is completed, the adjustment will not be
necessary.
The influent pump station is not designed as an
equalization facility.

Mr. William Barlow
Page 2
September 5, 1989
2. The blowers are sized on the basis of 2,100 cubic feet
of air per pound of BOD (200 mg/1) treated. Since we
now show a 20,000 gpd plant, the blowers will be 49 CFM
plus 2 CFM for the effluent D.O. adjustment giving a
total of 51 CFM per blower at 4.5 psi.
3. The waste activated sludge from this facility will be
disposed at the City of Hendersonville WWTP. A letter
authorizing this discharge is attached.
4. The standard specifications for submersible sewage pumps
and extended aeration plant were submitted with -the
permit application. The particular design data for each
pump is shown on the plans (sheet 3). The particular
tank sizes, blower capacity, etc. for the wastewater
treatment plant are also shown on the plans (sheet 3).
5. The facility is not located in the flood plain. It is
at the headwaters of a small creek. The top of the
lift station and the treatment plant will be 11 feet
above the nearby streambed.
6. A continuous flow monitoring instrument will be
installed at the outlet weir of the chlorination chamber.
This has been added to the plans.
We appreciate your comments

1. The facility is to be constructed in three phases, 10,000 GPD,
30,000 GPD, and 54,000 GPD. The NPDES permit is for a single
54,000 GPD facility. The permit should be revised containing
effluent pages for each phase.
2. The plans only show phase one. The.A to C should state that
expansion will require the resubmittal of plans.
3. Based on design flow criteria of 120 GPD per bedroom this 10,000
GPD should only serve approximately 83 bedrooms or approximately
42, 2-.bedroom mobile homes. The plans show 41 units. The number
of units to be allowed should be specified in the A to C.
The Division should not issued the A to C without issuing a
revised NPDES Permit to this facility. Since the NPDES Permit
revision is for lower flows than originally permitted, no need for
public -notice exists and this could be accomplished with issuance of
the A to C'. Should there be any questions, please contact this

Subject request for a staff report was received without a
copy of the plans and specifications for this project. A copy of
the plans and specifications should be forwarded to this office.
It is noted that it is proposed to construct this project
in phases with the first phase being 10,000 GPD. The NPDES
Permit is issued for 54,000 GPD and the original NPDES Permit
application did not specify that there facility was to be
constructed in phases. The plans and specifications should show
the full 54,000 GPD system unless the NPDES Permit is revised to
show phased construction. The 54,000 GPD can be built using
smaller systems as long as plans show full system layout.
It is becoming a common practice for NPDES Permits to be
obtained based on design flow criteria as contained in the
administrative code and plans being submitted for designs for a
smaller system. The Division should not approve these projects
unless the NPDES Permit contains effluent pages for each phase of
the construction.
Should there be any questions, please contact this office.

ENGINEERING PROPOSAL
FOR
HIDDEN GAP MOBILE HOME PARK
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Mr. Leonard Schroader is the owner of approximately 11 acres
of land located near Hendersonville in Henderson County. Mr.
Schroader proposes to construct a 180-unit mobile home park on
this site.
WASTEWATER ALTERNATIVES
The site has a gently rolling topography with very poor- soil
conditions for conventional septic tank/ground absorption type
wastewater treatment systems.
In order to construct the number of units for the project,
the only means of proper wastewater treatment and disposal is by
the installation of a discharging system.
There are no other existing systems nearby which could be of
service to this project.
Therefore, it is recommended that a conventional package
type wastewater treatment system be installed at the project
site.
PROPOSED TREATMENT SYSTEM
It is proposed to install a central wastewater collection
system with a two (2) phase wastewater treatment facility. A
package type extended aeration type treatment process is
recommended with a discharge into the small stream on the
property (at Howard Gap Road).
The ultimate design of the project is for 180 units
discharging an average daily flow of 54,000 gallons.
PROJECT LOCATION MAP
The attached location maps hows the project site and
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 full knowledge and approval of the applicant.

Dear Mr. Schroader: 7 �' a Z4(-e
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 the following changes from the draft permit sent to you on May 11,
2005:
• The monitoring frequency for ammonia nitrogen found in section A. 2 of the permit
(limits and monitoring associated with the expanded facility) for the summer months
has been changed from 2/Month to Weekly. This change was required per the terms
of the North Carolina Administrative Code (15A 2B .050.8 (d)) and corrects an error
that existed in previous permits.
• The requirements to monitor the influent for BOD and TSS have been removed from
the permit.
Please also be aware of the following conditions that were contained in the draft permit,
but are different from those contained in your current permit:
A daily maximum limit for Total Residual Chlorine has been added. This limit will
become effective on June 1, 2007 (18 months following the permit's effective date).
Daily maximum limits have been added for ammonia nitrogen as part of the limitations
for the expanded facility. These limits will become effective only after the wastewater
treatment plant completes expansion of facilities. Year round monitoring for ammonia
will become effective upon the effective date of the permit (December 1, 2005).

NPDES Permit Requirements
Page 1 of 16
PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
1�ypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which
is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 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. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart
during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.
Version 612012003

NPDES Permit Requirements
Page 2 of 16
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).
DWQ 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 levq'� 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 instreatn
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.
Version 612012003

NPDES Permit Requirements
Page 3 of 16
Monthly Average concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
Quarterly Average (concentration limit)
The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter.
Severe proper damage
Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable,
or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production.
Toxic Pollutant:
Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.
U set
An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with
permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by
operational . error, improperly. designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive
maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
Weep Averse (concentration limit)

Permit No. NCO075647
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Schroader:
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute § 90A-37, the Water Pollution Control
System Operators Certification Commission -is required to classify all water pollution control
systems. The Rating Scale for Classification of Wastewater Treatment Facilities, found at 15A
NCAC 8C .0002, was adopted by the Commission to classify water pollution control systems.
The rating scale assigns points to each component of the treatment process. The classification of
a facility is determined by the total number of points for all components of the treatment process.
The Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission hereby classifies the
subject facility as Grade 2 Wastewater Treatment Plant.
As required by 15A NCAC 8A .0202 and your permit, you are required to designate an Operator
in Responsible Charge (ORC) and back up operator of the appropriate type and grade for the
subject facility. Your facility requires a Wastewater Grade 2 or higher Wastewater Treatment
Plant Operator in Responsible Charge and Wastewater Grade 1 or higher back up operator.
Please complete and return the enclosed ORC designation form by May 1, 1997. Failure to
designate a properly certified operator and back-up operator by the above date constitutes a
violation of the permit issued for this facility.
If you have any questions concerning this classification or the designation of an ORC, please
contact Barry Huneycutt or Dwight Lancaster at 919/733-0026.
