Because of the detachable mounting feet, these units can be easily adapted to any of four
drive shaft positions — right hand, left hand, bot-tom or top. The compact, sturdy design is
engineered for continuous service when operated in accordance with speed and pressure
ratings.
The basic model consists of a cast iron casing, carburized and ground alloy steel spur timing
gears secured to steel shafts with a taper mounting and locknut, and cast iron involute
impellers. Oversized anti -friction bearings are used, with a cylindrical roller bearing at the drive
shaft to withstand V-belt pull. The Universal RAI features thrust control, with splash oil lube on

each impeller passes the blower inlet, it traps a definite volume of air and carries it around the
case to the blower outlet, where the air is discharged. With constant speed operation, the
displaced volume is essentially the same regardless of pressure, temperature or barometric
pressure. Timing gears control the relative position of the impellers to each other and
maintain small but definite clearances. This allows operation without lubrication being required
inside the air casing.

The motor shall be squirrel -cage, induction type for operating at 3450 RPM. The
motor shall be constructed with open windings operating in a sealed housing which
contains clean dielectric oil for heat dissipation from the windings and for lubrication of
the bearings and seals. This allow the motor to run continuously in submerged or
partially submerged conditions without the need for cooling jackets, which circulate the
pumped media up inside the motor shell. Further, the motor's design shall allow it to
be capable of running for extended periods in a dry mode without damage to the
motor or seals. Air -filled motors which do not have the superior heat dissipating
capabilities of oil -filled motors shall not be considered equal
2. The stator windings shall be the open type with Class F insulation rated for 155
degrees Celsius (311 degrees F) maximum operating temperature. To protect against
motor damage due to liquid entry into the motor, an inner moisture sensor is provided
to protect the motor windings from damage. The motor shall also be supplied with an
outer sensor in the motor's stator cavity that indicates any leakage into the motor
stator chamber. Should liquid enter the leakage chamber, the contact will open, and
cause the motor to shut down.
3. Motors shall be sized to ensure that they are non -overloading throughout the entire pump
curve associated with this application.
4. Motor shall have two heavy duty ball bearings to support pump shaft and take radial and
thrust loads and a sleeve guide bushing directly above the lower seal to take radial load
and act as a flame path for seal chamber. Ball bearings shall be designed for a minimum.

installed in tandem. The inner mechanical seal shall be constructed with a solid block
silicon carbide rotating seal face and a solid block silicon carbide stationary face. All other
metal components of the inner and outer seals shall be AISI 316 stainless steel. All
elastomers of both inner and outer seals shall be of Viton® material. The outer
mechanical seal shall be located in a recessed housing outside the main flow path of the
pump to avoid damage. Mechanical seals that employ sprayed or laminated seal faces
shall neither be considered equal, nor shall they be considered acceptable.
Each pump shall be equipped with a seal leak detection probe and warning system. This
shall be designed to alert maintenance personnel of lower seal failure without having to
take the unit out of service for inspection. There shall be a double electric probe or seal
failure sensor installed in the seal chamber between the two tandem mechanical seals. If
the lower seal fails, contaminants which enter the seal chamber shall be detected by the
sensor and send a signal to operate the specified warning device.
D. Lift -Out Rail System:

Subject: 100-year flood elevation, at the proposed Sewage Treatment Plant facility on
North Fork Mills River near the N. Mills River Rec. Area.
To: Barry Jones and -David Velez
During January 2010, a stream cross section on N. F. Mills River was surveyed at the AIAR a r,
new sewage treatment plant location, to determine the probable flood stage at the
proposed facilities. The proposed treatment plant location is near the existing facility, buZ,
further set back from the river. Appendix A displays data and the cross section plot of -
the data for the site. Following are the calculations used to determine the 100-year flood
elevation (stage) at the site:
Equations Used:
1 USGS Regression for o.62s
g Qioo� Qioo = 745 DA where, DA =drainage area in
2) Continuity Equation: Q = AV
Calculations:
square miles
where, A = cross section area
V = velocity
Qioo = 745 DA 0.625 where, DA =18.82 square miles
Qioo = 745 (18.82) 0.625
Q100 = 745 (6.26)
Qioo = 4,664 cfs
The calculated Q-100 value is then used in Equation 2 with an estimated velocity to
calculate area.
Qioo = AV where, A = cross section area of 100-year flood
A = Q/V V = 6.0 ft/sec (estimated velocity)
A = 4,664/6.0
= 777 ft
The area estimate was then imposed on the cross section plot (see Appendix A). From
the plot the maximum depth of water on the floodplain was measured along the cross
section. The Sewage Treatment Plant Site is not on the 100-year floodplain.
Conclusion:
Construction of the new Sewage Treatment Plant is not restricted by the 100-year
flood.

oxidize the BOB5. By the use of a settleablity test in the aeration chamber mixed liquor will give
you that result. The program timers will be adjusted to achieve the proper levels. We will base the

Peak Flow Control
To handle the peak flow rates entering the wastewater treatment system, a flow equalization
system has be incorporated into the design of 'this wastewater treatment plant. The flow
equalization system has been oversized having a holding volume equal to 50% of the design flow
rate, equivalent to flow equalization sized for a .05 MGPD flow rate using the 2.5 peaking factor .
Therefore the volume of the flow equalization chamber, is 10,000 gallons. The flow equalization
system shall be equipped with a flow proportioning system which will only allow the design flow
rate of 15,000 GPD or less to enter the secondary treatment system. All surge flow from the flow
equalization flow proportioning chamber shall be returned to the flow equalization holding
chamber for further processing.
See photo left to view the flow passing through the V-Notch weir, which -then will pass to the
aeration chamber. The surge flow shall be returned to the surge chamber for re -processing.

SUBJECT: Wastewater Collection System
Owner & Operator Requirements
North Mills River Recreation Area
NCO020486
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Schwalbach:
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/peres/Collection%20SVstems/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.

RE: North Mills River NPDES Permit Number NCO020486
Closing for winter
Dear Mr. Cranford,
On October 31, 2012 North Mills River closed the gate to the public not allowing any campers to
use the sites. The waste water facility was placed into a winter operations mode.
This letter is to itemize the procedures taken to close the system for the winter.
1) The lift station at the managers' site was pumped down to just above the pump.
2) The lift station behind the bathrooms was pumped down to just above the pumps.
3) The lift station at the waste water plant was pumped down to just above the pumps.
4) The equalization basin was pumped down to just above the pumps.
5) The clarifiers were lowered by sump pump of most of the clear water.
6) The tertiary tanks were lowered to just above the pumps.
7) The chlorine contact chamber was pumped dry.
8) The blowers for the equalization basin and aeration tanks were placed on 15 minutes on every
4 hours to keep the water fresh but not allow for much biological activity.
9) The generator was serviced in October.
The operator will be checking the lift stations and treatment facility one time per month to ensure
that the facility is in a "No Flow" condition throughout the winter and that the system is still operating
properly. This information will be recorded in the on -site log book.
A Discharge Monitoring Report will be submitted each month reflecting this status.
Thank you,
'Juanita James

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

includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires
the Permittee to install and operate backup or auxiliary facilities only when necessary to achieve compliance
with the conditions of the permit [40 CFR 122.41 (e)].
NOTE: Properly and officially designated operators are fully responsible for all proper operation and
maintenance of the facility, and all documentation required thereof, whether acting as a contract operator
[subcontractor] or a member of the Permittee's staff.
3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or
reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit [40 CFR 122.41
(c)]•
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Bypass not exceeding limitations [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (2)]
The Permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded,
but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject
to the provisions of Paragraphs b. and c. of this section.
b. Notice [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (3)]
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the Permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior
notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the
anticipated quality and effect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The Permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in
Part II. E. 6. (24-hour notice).
c. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass from the treatment facility is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take
enforcement action against a Permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,
retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime.
This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the
exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal
periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The Permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph b. of this section.
(2) Bypass from the collection system is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take
enforcement action against a Permittee for a bypass as provided in any current or future system -wide
collection system permit associated with the treatment facility.
(3) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects,
if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in
Paragraph c. (1) of this section.
Upsets
a. Effect of an upset [40 CFR 122.41 (n) (2)]: An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought
for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of
paragraph b. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims
that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative
action subject to judicial review.
Version 1012912010

?DES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 8 of 18
b. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset: Any Permittee who wishes to establish the
affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs,
or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the Permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The Permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The Permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II. E. 6. (b) of this permit.
(4) The Permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II. B. 2. of this permit.
c. Burden of proof [40 CFR 122.41 (n) (4)]: The Permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has
the burden of proof in any enforcement proceeding.
Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of
wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to
prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United
States. The Permittee shall comply with all existing Federal regulations governing the disposal of sewage
sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the
utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate
applicable requirements at 40 CFR 503. The Permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR 503 Standards for
the Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even
if the permit is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The Permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing
Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices.
7. Power Failures
The Permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards (as required by 15A NCAC 2H.0124) to

means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent.
Section D. Monitoring and Records
Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and
nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily shall be taken on a day and
time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period the sample represents. All samples shall be
taken at the monitoring points specified in this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins
or is diluted by any other wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed
without notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority [40 CFR 122.41 (j)].
2. Reporting
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and reported
on a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (MR 1,1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the
Director, postmarked no later than the last calendar day of the month following the completed reporting
period.
The first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new
facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of discharge. Duplicate signed copies of
these, and all other reports required herein, shall be submitted to the following address:
NC DENR / Division of Water Quality / Surface Water Protection Section

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 Averaee
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 Dar
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 24hour 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 Sg=hng
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).
DWO 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 leveq'� 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.
Version 612012003

NPDES Permit Requirements
Page 3 of 16
Monthly Averagg (concentration limitl
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 limitl
The average 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 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. ,

Hi Charles,
Everything looks good. Attached are the three most recent inspection reports and facility info cover page .
(Note: This new WWTP is currently under construction. The old plant has been closed and demolished to
make room for the new one.)
Here's what I would suggest.
Supplement to permit cover page: (see attachment)
Continue to operate
0.012 MGD dual train extended aeration package plant consisting of: influent
pump station; 7500 gallon flow equalization basin with manual bar screen, dual
submersible 30 gpm pumps, dual high water alarms and one 40 cfm blower; dual
7500 gallon aeration basins with coarse air diffusers and three 85 scfm blowers;
dual 50 sq ft secondary clarifiers with skimmer and air lift sludge returns; dual
6.25 sq ft tertiary filters with 40 scfm scour blower, clearwell and mudwell; 4500
gallon aerobic digestor with coarse air diffusers; tablet chlorinator; 417 gallon
chlorine contact chamber; tablet dechlorinator; and 225 linear ft of 6-inch gravity
outfall pipe.
The attached draft "box" contains an error (some kind of key -stroke glitch) in the Total Residual Chlorine Daily
Maximum Limits box. It indicates that the limit is 28 gL (grams). It should be 28 u 1 (micrograms).
I feel that everything else in the attached documents is accurate.
ARO recommends renewal of this permit.
Let me know if you have questions or comments.
