Page 4 of 16 Pages General Permit NCG550000 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 Ouarter 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 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. Page 5 of 16 Pages General Permit NCG550000 ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time<24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours;there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility.Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling.For pollutants measured in units of mass,the"daily discharge"is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day.For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement,the "daily discharge"is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day.(40 CFR 122.2;see also "Composite Sample,"above.) Daily Maximum The highest"daily discharge"during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling.If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s),that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DWO or"the Division" The Division of Water Quality,Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Effluent Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source whether treated or untreated. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit.Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N=the number of individual values.For purposes of calculating the geometric mean,values of"0"(or"<[detection level]")shall be considered= 1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes.Grab samples can be collected manually.Grab samples must be representative of the discharge(or the receiving stream,for instream samples). Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in that instance.To the extent practical,instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge during that sampling period. Page 6 of 16 Pages General Permit NCG650000 Monthly Average(concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all"daily discharges"of a pollutant measured during the calendar month.In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators,the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average(concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property,damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable,or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass.Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1)of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements.An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error,improperly designed treatment facilities,inadequate treatment facilities,lack of preventive maintenance,or careless or improper operation.

Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grants Funds (municipals only) ? N/A 2. Special monitoring requests: N/A 3 . Additional effluent limits requests: N/A 4. Other: N/A Page Three PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The applicant proposes to construct a septic tank/subsurface sand filter system for his future residence. The proposed domestic wasteflow of 480 gpd is to be discharged into an unnamed tributary to Crowders Creek. It should be noted that the applicant has previously been denied construction of a ground absorption system by the Gaston County Environmental Health Department because the soil of the proposed site was unsuitable for such purpose. There was little flow observed in the designated receiving water on the day of the investigation. It is our opinion that the designated receiving stream, a natural drainageway, will not meet the 7Q10/30Q2 criteria. However, the applicant was advised to discharge the proposed wasteflow directly to Crowders Creek which is approximately 550 feet west of the proposed facility site. It is recommended that an NPDES Discharge Permit be issued to the applicant on condition that the projected wasteflow be discharged to Crowders Creek, not the unnamed tributary as previously proposed. The Authorization to Construct should also reflect requirements that the disposal facility be constructed as a septic tank/surface sand filter system with chlorination device. Furthermore, it is recommended that the discharge be connected to an area-wide system as soon as one becomes available. •-itt9:" 7-41'4 a-VC!

C . 28052 Re: Lot 19 , Meadowglen 148 Grassy Court Dear Mr . Giese : The above referenced lot has been evaluated to determine suitability for a conventional on-site sewage disposal system. • The lot is situated at the end of Grassy Court in Meadowglen Subdivision, Gastonia, N. C. The lot is eight acres in size , most of which lies in the Crowders Creek flood plain. The area which is not in the flood plain is divided by a drainage valley and a stream. Soils on the _'7iah around between the end of the street and the flood plain are generally 14" deep, except for a limited area near the front of the lot where soils are 18" to 22" deco overlaying a hard pan of gray saprolite . A ridge the drainage valley and the small stream small --� �� netwe:e?�. �. has a limited area with an appling-like soil and a soil depth of 30" to 36" . However , the area is not sufficient in size for the installation of a nitrification field. The ridge - is narrow and is less than 50 ' from the stream. Lot 19 is not suitable for an on-site sewage disposal system due • to the following: 1 . Shallow to saprolite 2 . Massive clan 3 . Complex topography 4 . Insufficient area with provisionally suitable soils It is my opinion that Lot 19 is also not suitable for any alternate or modified on-site sewage disposal system. s • If you should have any questions regarding this matter , please contact me at 866-3334 , from 8 : 00 - 9 : 00 A .M.

Meadow Glen Subdivision Dear Mr. Jean: The above referenced lot has been evaluated;.tadetermine suitability for a residential on-site sewage treatment and disposal system. The lot was determined to be UNSUITABLE for the following reasons: 1. Unsuitable soil depth. Soils are generally 14” deep except at the upper end of the lot adjacent to the cul-de-sac, where the soils are 18" - 22" deep in a limited space. • The area where soils are 18" to 22" deep the soils overlay a hard pan of gray saprolite. The regaining soils of 14" deep overlay blue and gray 2:1 clays. Only approximately 45,000 square feet more or less lie outside the Crowders Creek flood plain. The remainder of the eight (8) acre tract is in the flood plain area. I recommend that you contact the office of Mr. Rex Gleason, Natural Resources and Community Development, Mooresville Regional Office, 704-663-1699, to request an application for an off-site disposal system. • If I can he of any further assistance, please advise.

The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular importance is Page M3 . Page M3 sets forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your discharge( s) . Your discharge( s) must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed "Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or operation) , you must initiate the required monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the DMR forms furnishedto you by this Agency. If you have not received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the form, please contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting form (DEM Form MR-1) , plus instructions for completing the form. It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed. The remaining Parts of the Permit (Parts II and III) set forth definitions, general conditions and special conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge( s) . The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater treatment plant operator if you are 919 North Main Street, P.O.

Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action. As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit. This date is set forth on Page M-1 or I-i of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that the Permit be rescinded. As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing any assistance.
