NC0078697 isn't due for renewal. They may have erroneously sent in an application —that sometimes happens when permittees think that paying their annual fee also requires the permit to be renewed. I'll look into it. We can return the application. CHW From: Wiggs, Linda Sent: Friday, August 15, 2014 1:44 PM To: Weaver, Charles Subject: six oaks? Hi Charles, TGIF!!!! Got a question though .... I received an acknowledgment of permit renewal letter from Wren for Six Oaks (NC0078697) dated August 8, 2014 with the application Form D. I am a little confused on this one because we received a receipt of permit renewal and application last year (September 13, 2013) also. And it appears in BIMs (the active entry) under events that on 12/06/2013 you updated BIMs saying that Wanda had sent you an email recommending renewal. Do you need anything else from ARO on this renewal? I will let you know this spring ARO contacted many facilities, this one included, for Vanessa regarding their built/not built status and Six Oaks stated they are waiting for the economy to improve, and do have intentions of building when it does, but for now they want to keep the permit.

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. Calehdar 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 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 (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. ➢ 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). DWQ 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). Version 1110912011 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 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. 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. Weekly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1.

Page # 4 Davis, Roy From: Kountis, Elizabeth Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2009 10:50 AM To: Edwards, Roger; Davis, Roy Subject: NC0078697 Six Oaks Complex Just wanted to let you know that I learned some information about the above -mentioned proposed facility from conversations with David Smith, of David Smith and Company. Mr. Smith is the consultant who submitted the last renewal permit applicaton for the facility owner, and I asked him about the intentions of the owner. He said this is a situation where a father passed away, his kids took over the permit, and they are debating on the configuration of construction for a development project involving this proposed facility. The kids are not going to sell the propoerty involved. They do intend to move ahead with the project, but don't know when due to the current economic climate, so there currently is no timeline for constufction. The proposed facility would provide service for an existing gas station and an existing convenience store along with the proposed development consisting of a proposed hotel and proposed restaurant. The proposed hotel and restauant would be placed on alreadly graded/cleared area, and would serve parents of campers; as I understand, there are several camps in the area that are now on, and would remain on, their own WW systems. The conversations ended with the following: the kids are going to contact their partners, and meet about the proposed development and facility, but no date was provided on the timing of such a meeting or who the partners are. 10 ? -1 Mr. Green RJGInc PO Box 442 Tuxedo, NC 28784 Dear Mr. Green: Michael F.

Page # 3 jZ 6r A C. Like Summitr®upoeS to court to stop treatment plant h id 11 h said BY HARRISON METZGER Times -Nuns Staff' Writer TUXEDO — Lake Summit Property Owners Association has gone to court in its battle to stop a wastewater treatment plant from being built on the Green River just upstream of the lake. The association has hired a well-known environmental attorney and.filed for a judi- cial review of the state's May 19 decision granting businessman Rosco Green a per- mit to build the plant. The motion, filed June 16 in Henderson County Superior Court, also asks a judge to grant a stay against the permit. It's the latest in a battle between Green and his supporters who say Tuxedo needs more jobs, and lakefront residents, camps and summer home owners worried about water quality. Following a Jan. 20 public hearing that drew almost 200 people, the state granted Green a permit to build the plant. Green says the plant is the only way to dispose of sewage from planned developments at his Six Oaks complex at the U.S. 25/Green River Road interchange. But Green, in an interview shortly after the permit was granted and again Wednes- day, said his plans to build a motel, restau- rant, car wash and beauty shop next to his general store are on hold. Green says two potential motel investors backed out and are planning motels in Knoxville, Tenn., and Spartanburg, S.C., instead. Everything rs on o , - Wednesday. "I was interested in getting a motel and restaurant, but they went elsewhere." . Green says it's been seven years since he first proposed the idea and began getting opposition from downstream neighbors. He says he's disappointed the property owners appealed the permit, but he hasn't given up. "I'm not going to give up," he said. "My -- attorney and my engineer both say I can get LAKE continues on page 15A �� fir. � i � , .,,. .: I. i ' �� !• •.,. D �•. Continued from page 1A it, but it's just going to be a wait game." The property owners association hired Asheville attorney William Clarke to file its petition for a judi- cial review and stay of the permit. Clarke, of the firm Roberts, Ste- ven & Cogbum, also represents Macon County residents fighting the town of Highlands over a waste- water treatment plant on the Cullasaja River. Attempts to con- tact him were not successful Wednesday. The Superior Court motion notes a majority of people at the public hearing spoke against the permit and says recent tests have shown improved water quality in the Green River. There are no permit- ted discharges into the river or the lake. According to the motion, reduced discharges from Green's proposed development would make it unnec- essary to discharge directly into the river and would make other non - 'discharge disposal methods eco- nomically feasible. Green has said in the past he does not have enough land for alter- native disposal methods such as land -spreading of waste. He's also said the plant would probably reach its maximum permitted discharge level of 20,000 gallons per day only during two or three peak weekends in the fall. Before the public hearing, prop- erty owners collected more than 2,000 signatures and more than 200 letters from people in 13 states op- posed to the wastewater permit. Year-round and summer residents and camp owners expressed con- cern the plant would pollute the river and threaten the health of campers and swimmers who use the lake. Green maintains he would oper- ate the plant in accordance with all state standards, and says the plant would cause less pollution than ag- ricultural runoff. The permit he received in May calls for a backup treatment system to guard against malfunction, plus other requirements more stringent -than originally proposed. At the time of the hearing, Green had col- lected more than 600 signatures in support of the permit. . Green's permit to build the plant expires Nov. 30, 1998. The permit remains valid unless a court issues a stay, a spokesman for the N.C. Division of Environmental Manage- ment said Wednesday. The matter has not yet been. scheduled in Hen- derson County Superior Court. .•41 r4. �F ;�- ,i, i .A a .J t� � t,� P= �S �, t t• .7 j�I `o.., w ,t • I - rig, Z '�r .�• fit' ���� �''� •�,.

There are currently no NPDES Permitted facilities in the Green River watershed.. Therefore, the option of connecting to an existing sewerage system is not available. There are no sewer systems within a five mile radius of the site. 1.1.2 Neither- Henderson County nor the Community of Tuxedo (unincorporated) has any plans to construct an area wide sewer system within the next four years. There are no plans to provide area wide facilities. William-G. Lapsley and Associates, P.A. provides consultant services'to Henderson Count and is involved with all County wastewater projects. The County does not have any plans to provide sewer service in the Tuxedo or Green River area. DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT May 12, 1994 MEMORANDUM TO: Preston Howard THROUGH: Coleen Sullins THROUGH: Dave Goodrich-07 FROM: Sean Goris �y SUBJECT: Permit Application No.: NCO078697 RJG, Inc. Henderson County Per your request in a recent note, I have addressed four items concerning the proposed discharge. These are itemized below, if you require further information, please let me know. 1) Modeling the river as free flowing vs. lake: Originally, the discharge was modeled as going into a stream, due to the high dilution, no significant oxygen demand was exerted on the stream. Further modeling of the discharge as going into a lake showed similar results. Please see attached memo from Betsy Johnson for further detail. 2) 7010 at the Green River discharge and at the Cullasaja (Highlands) discharge: Green River - 22.0 cfs Proposed discharge - 0.02 MGD Cullasaja River- 8.0 cfs Proposed discharge - 0.5 MGD 3) Documentation regarding local health department site evaluation for soil suitability: A letter from the Henderson County Health Department indicates that the area proposed by those opposed to the discharge is unsuitable for subsurface disposal. The area consists of wetlands and unsuitable soils and resides in the flood plain. See attached. 4) Reductions in discharges in recent years upstream of the location: Records indicate that four discharges have been permitted on or above Lake Summit. Two discharges were directly into Lake Summit from a J.P. Stevens textile plant which has subsequently ceased operation. The two other discharges were permitted into unnamed tributaries to the Green, one coming from a condominium complex and the other a camp. The Quattlebaum Condominium facility was never constructed and..,,---,.-": the permit was rescinded during 1989 at the request of the owner. The Green River Camp had its NPDES permit expire in 1992, no facilities were constrbcted and no renewal application is on record as having been received. As such, there are no. + :: currently permitted discharges on or above Lake Summit. See attached. Attached is a copy of the permit revised to incorporate the following changes: 1) The classification of the stream will appear as B-Trout. 2) Effluent TSS will be limited to 20 mg/l. 3) Nutrient monitoring will be required on a quarterly basis. 4) Fecal Coliform will be monitored 3/Week during the summer months. 5) The following conditions will appear in the permit: - DEM to be notified upon any malfunction of the system. - 180 day connection language upon availability of sewer. InterOffice Memo To: Sean Goris From: Betsy Johnson i Date: May 9, 1994 Subject: RJG - Green River This discharge is extremely small at 0.02 MGD in comparison to the river flow of 22 cfss. Dilution at the point of discharge is 710:1. Thus, the fecal limit which was recommended due to recreation on the lake, is not required per our standard procedures. The retention time for the first pool of the lake was calculated. T = volume/flow = 5018112 ft3 / 22.13 cfs = 226756 sec = 2.6 days This retention time is insufficient under even drought conditions for algal growth. Thus nutrients should not be a problem. A Level B model was done for this discharge. A 0.6 mile reach with a slope of 12.6 feet per mile was used. Due to the high dilution, background water quality is reached immediatly, i.e. CBOD = 2 mg/1 and NBOD = 1 mg/l. These values correspond to BOD5 of approximately 1 mg/1 and NH3 of 0.2 mg/l. There is no significant oxygen demand on the river. A modified Level B for lakes in which the velocity is manually reduced at the lake interface was not needed due to the high dilution. A comparison of Level B for streams vs. modified Level B for lakes follows. In neither case is there a DO sag caused by the wastewater. There is no significant difference between BOD levels at the beginning and end of the model in either case. STREAM DO CBOD NBOD begin model 7.43 mg/1 2.06 mg/l 1.13 mg/l end model 7.78 mg/1 2.01 mg/1 1.09 mg/1 LAKE DO CBOD NBOD begin model 7.43 mg/l 2.06 mg/l 1.13 mg/l end model 7.53 mg/1 1.97 mg/l 1.04 mg/1 *1 State of North Carolina Department of Lnvironment, Health, and Natural Resources Asheville Regional Office James B.

Westal Water Quality Regi pervisor FROM: Paul R. White, P. {��(,(J Environmental Engineer SUBJECT: RJG, Inc. Engineering Economic Analysis NPDES Permit Application NCO078697 Henderson County Enclosed please find a copy of the Asheville Regional Office staff report for the above referenced application. I am also providing Regional comments on the Engineering Economic Analysis forwarded to you previously. 1. Connection to Sewerage System We agree with the analysis that there are no sewerage systems in this area and are not aware of any plans to construct a system. Therefore, this is not an option. 2. Subsurface Disposal The analysis indicates that the Henderson County Health Department could not approve a subsurface system for the project as proposed at 20,000 gpd. We agree that there is inadequate land for a subsurface system of this size. However, Mr. Green has indicated that the project might be reduced in scope. He is currently working with the Henderson interchange Building, 59 Wo<xllin Place, Asheville, N.C. 28801 • Telephone 704251-6208 An Equal Oppnrtttnity Affirmative Action Employer Sean Goris Memorandum May 7, 1993 Page Two County Health Department on obtaining a reduced flow subsurface system in the wooded apea on the hill behind the store. Mr. Green also indicated that the pavement area behind the store could easily be taken up if this area could be used for a subsurface system. An existing subsurface system at the back of the store currently serves the bathrooms in the store. The analysis does not address this area for a reduced flow system. It is not known if Mr. Green has discussed this possibility with the Health Department. This area should be considered for a reduced flow system, perhaps in combination with the wooded area on the hill currently being investigated. 3. Spray Irrigation The analysis states that 25 to 30 acres would need to be available for spray field. This corresponds to approximately 0.2 inches per week application rate. This application rate appears to be low. However, it is not anticipated that sufficient land area is available for the flows requested even at a' higher rate. Due to generally higher buffer requirements for surface disposal as compared to subsurface, the buffer requirements would severely restrict the size of a spray irrigation facility at this site. 4. Proposed Discharge System The Engineering Economic Analysis indicates that the classification of the receiving stream is C-Trout, being 1 mile upstream of the B-Trout classification of Lake Summit. Based on elevations determined by the Asheville Regional Office and provided by Duke Power Company, the elevation of. the water level in the Green River channel at the time of measurement was 0.2 feet above the water level at the dam. This and observations of the river, indicate that the river is affected by the lake water level at this point. The wasteload allocation should be redetermined based on discharge into the backwaters of the lake rather than into a river situation. We agree that there would .be no advantage to discharging to Vernon Creek. The only treatment option presented was an activated sludge system with a tertiary filter. While this degree of treatment was not necessary for the existing wasteload allocation, it should be considered necessary due to the sensitive nature of the receiving stream. Sean Goris May 7, 1993 Page Two Based on the quantity of flow requested, some type of discharging treatment system appears to be the only feasible alternative. However, due to -the current uses of the receiving stream, the physical situation of the presence of lake backwaters at the discharge point, and the public opposition to the.a discharge, there are some serious environmental concerns with a stream discharge. It appears that if the flow may be reduced to an amount that can be handled on site, this would be a more environmentally sound option.

Green, Sr. filed an application with the Health Department for a sub -surface sewage disposal system. The application calls for a 30 room motel, a 50 seat restaurant, a carwash, barber shop, beauty shop, and a.retail shop. Based upon our design criteria this would be approximately 8000 gallons.-a'day designed sewage flow. The site is located beside the intersection of Green River Road and US25 South, at the current Green's 66 Filling Station. The site was disapproved on December 17, 1992, for an on -site sewage disposal system by the Henderson County Health Department due to; 1. unsuitable soil depth to saprolite [1943]; 2. lack of available space [.1945] for system and repair due to required setbacks [.1950(a)(d)]• Our Department recommends contacting DEM for the possibility of installing a package treatment plant to serve Mr. Green's facility. The property cannot be approved by the Henderson County Health Department for an on -site sewage system. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or write. Sincerely, Robert K. Smith, R.S.

Allison Regional Soil Scientist 6��4 SUBJECT: Roscoe J. Green Project near Tuxedo in Henderson County On April 6, 1993, you and I investigated,. the property behind the store and gas station owned by Roscoe J. Green to determine the soi'1 suitability for surface or subsurface disposal of wastewater generated from Mr. Green's store and proposed restaurant. My observations and recommendations follow: OBSERVATIONS 1. The landform is a low mountain. The landscape isa sideslope with about a 25 to 30 percent uniform slope. 2. The soils are about 24 to 30 inches deep over saprolite. They contain about 20 percent clay and about 60 percent sand in the subsoil. The underlying saprolite is even sandier. No water table or layers impervious to water were observed within 50 inches of the surface. Nine backhoe pits were investigated. The following is a representative soil profile description: A -- 0 to 4 inches; 10 YR 4/4 dark yellowish brown sandy loam; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; clear wavy boundary. Bw-- 4 to 28 inches; 7.5 YR 5/4 brown loam; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable, 1:1 clay mineralogy; gradual wavy boundary. C -- 28 to 50 inches; multicolored loamy coarse sand saprolite. Interchange BLtilding, 59 Womifin Place, Asheville, N.C. 28801 • Telephone 704-251.6208 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Paul White Page 2 April 16, 1993 RECOMMENDATIONS 1. If there is enough area to accommodate the wastewater flow rate: a) The soil can handle a shallow placement subsurface system at a LTAR of about.0.5 gal/ftz/day. b) The soil would work well using a drip or spray irrigation disposal system. The estimated infiltration rate is about 3 inches per hour. The unsaturated storage capacity is estimated to be about 0.15 inches per inch. More soil study is needed to determine the exact design of the system. c) Since the proposed receiver site is uphill of the facility and the wastewater will need to be pumped to it, a pressure dose system such as low pressure pipe system would work. The LTAR would be about 0.3 gal/ft'/day. 0 'William G. Lapsley & Associates, P.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. 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 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 nil 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 Version 1011012007 'DES Permit Standard Conditions' Page 2 of 16 ➢ 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 X hours [X = days detention time] over a 24-hour period. Effluent samples shall be collected 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" for conventional and other non -toxicant parameters. NOTE: Permittees may not submit a "daily average" calculation [for determining compliance with permit limits] for toxicants. See the relevant Federal effluent guideline[s] for the appropriate calculation interval. Dail,, 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. Version 1011012007 ES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 16 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. Monthly Average (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 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.

Other Special Items: Original issuance of this permit was upheld by the NPDES Committee of the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. The Lake Summit Property Owners Association requested and was granted an Administrative hearing. Following the hearing the NPDES Committee found the compliance with the permit as drafted would protect Water Quality Standards in the receiving stream. PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Division proceed with renewal of NPDES Permit No. NC0078697. No alternatives to direct discharge to surface waters is available for this volume of wastewater. Additionally, the NPDES Committee of the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission has found that the proposed treated wastewater discharge, if treated in compliance with the proposed permit, will not result in violation of Water Quality Standards. The ARO recommends the following special condition: Should a restaurant be connected to this wastewater treatment plant that restaurant will be served by an adequate external grease trap located sufficient distance from the restaurant to allow solidification of the grease.

Proposed manhole #1 shows a 90 degree turn in addition to two building sewer taps. Compensation for the loss of head in the curve should be specified. 2. The plans show a 14 foot high concrete block retaining wall adjacent to the treatment plant. This brings up safety concerns as well as concerns about possible damage to the treatment plant if failure occurs. Additional information is needed to assure the integrity of the design. 3. The treatment plant is shown in an excavated area, below the ground level. Provisions for drainage are needed. 4. The plan and profile of the outfall sewer are contradictory. Page 2 5. It is recommended that the treatment plant have full grating or handrails. 6. A potable water supply and 110 volt outlet is required. 7. A sludge disposal plan is needed. 8. Specifications and controls on the generator is needed. 9. The air requirement for the flow equalization basin is calculated based on BOD loading, which is not applicable. Air required for mixing is the critical factor. The blower size specified is 16 cfm. Additional capacity is needed for mixing. Also, it is recommended that the equalization basin be aerated by the main blowers. If fluctuating head conditions are a problem with the blower or motor, this could be handled by a valve that maintains a constant back -pressure on the blower. If a separate blower is dedicated to the equalization basin, dual blowers are required. 10. The equalization basin pumps need to be controlled to start at a lower level. The start level indicated is with the equalization basin over half full. 11. The note on the plans which states, "Comminutor and bar scr-een. (optional)" indicates that the bar screen is optional. "Optional" should refer only to the ' comminutor. 12. Detail drawings are needed for the flow splitter. The splitter box should be set up so that the equalization basin overflows into the splitter box. The plans show the overflow going into only one side of the plant, which would cause overloading. 13. The blower calculations were based on BOD loadings only. The blower requirements for mixing should be calculated also and the larger capacity used.. It iIs not clear that air requirements for the air lifts were included .in the necessary .blower capacity for the aeration basins. 14. The plans are not clear on whether the blowers are interconnected. This is needed for duality of equipment. 15. A wye should be used in lieu of a tee in the sludge return line. Also, the two additional 45 degree bends should be avoided if possible. Plugging of sludge return lines is a common problem on small plants where sludge return is intermittent. To minimize this, the sludge return line should be as free of obstructions as possible. 16. It is anticipated that the weir on the inlet end of the clarifier will cause problems with solids loss. It is recommended that this section be omitted. 17. Details or specifications on the skimmers are needed indicating the weir configuration and adjustment. 18. The sand size in the filter is essentially the same as the anthracite. This negates the advantage of the dual media filter. It is recommended that the sand size be 0.5 mm. 19. The air scour needs to be at the bottom of the sand to adequately clean the sand due to the inability to backwash the dual media filter at a rate governed by the sand. 20. Specifications are needed on the filter nozzles to assure that they will exclude the specified sand size. 21. Sufficient detail is needed showing how to isolate one of the filters. 22. An interconnection with sufficient valves is needed to allow duality of the backwash pumps. Page 3 23. Air release valves are needed at the top of the backwash loop. 24. The backwash piping size should be specified. 25. Throttling valves are needed on the backwash and surge pumps. 26. A timer is needed to allow backwash during periods of loV flow. 27. Dual blowers are needed for the air scour. 28. Details.are needed of the V-notch weir to show clearances and dimensions. where possible, the engineer may wish to provide diagrams from the acceptable manufacturers listed in the specifications rather than reproducing drawings on blue line. This is acceptable if accompanied by an addendum to the specifications which references the particular equipment manufacturer drawings or equal.

Directions to Site: The proposed development is located on nine acres in the northeast quadrant,of the intersection of Highway 25 and Green River Road (SR 1106). A gas station/convenience store is currently located here. The proposed discharge point is across Green River Road from the property, just upstream of old highway 25 (SR 1265). 6.

Quad No. G9NW U.S.G.S. Quad Name Zirconia Page 1 M 7. Site size and expansion area consistent with application? yes Yes No I'f No, explain: 8. Topography (relationship to flood plain included): Site is located on a low mountain with 25% to 35% sideslopes. Slopes decrease to 10% on the south end of the property. Not in flood plain. 9. Location of nearest dwelling: >100 feet 10. Receiving stream or affected surface waters: Green River a. Classification: According to the schedule of classifications, Green River is classified as C-Trout from its source to mouth in Lake Summit at elevation 2011. The classification of Green River (Lake Summit below elevation 2011) changes to B-Trout at the mouth. This is a confusing description since the lake water level is commonly 0.1 to 0.2 feet above the top of the dam during wet weather, and the elevation of the top of the dam is 2012.6 feet MSL per Duke Power Company. An independent measurement of the water level at the proposed discharge point on,April 21, 1993, indicated that the water level was at 2013 feet and was several feet deep. The lake level at this time was as 2012.8 feet according to Duke Power. Upon observation, the water -level did not appear to drop significantly between this point and open water. In addition, the velocity was sluggish at this point and at a point 1800 feet upstream, as compared to the river at a point one mile upstream. This indicates that the lake actually backs up into the river channel.. The proposed discharge point should be considered to be discharging into Class B waters of Lake Summit. b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Broad 03-08-03 C. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: The proposed discharge point is in the headwaters of Lake Summit, a primary recreation lake. Pertinent downstream. uses include fish and wildlife propagation, fishing, swimming, water skiing, and summer camps. PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS 1. a.

Alternative Analysis Evaluation: Has the facility evaluated all of the non -discharge options available. Please provide regional perspective for each option evaluated. Spray Irrigation: insufficient area due to buffer requirements. Connection to Regional Sewer System: none available. Subsurface: Mr. Green is currently working with the Henderson County Health Department on obtaining a reduced flow subsurface system. Other disposal options: There is insufficient area for an on -site disposal system for 20,000 gpd, however, a subsurface or drip irrigation system might be. developed for a much lesser flow. Soils information indicate an acceptance rate of about 0.3 gpd/ft2 Due to the odd size of the property, buffers, existing buildings, and the fact that the south half has been excavated, only around 2/3 acre are useable for an on -site system at this location. This area is currently wooded. There is another small area across Hwy 25 to the west which might be used, however, the expense would be greater due to the road crossing. Mr. Green indicated that the paved parking lot behind the store could easily be taken up if this area could be used for a subsurface system. An existing subsurface system at the back of the store currently serves the bathrooms in the store. 5. Other Special Items: Page 4 010 PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The alternatives analysis is based on the need for a design flow of 20,000 gpd. The library (150 gpd) and the gas station (750 gpd) are currently served by subsurface systems. No problems are known to be occurring with these systems. Mr. Green has indicated that he might scale back the project to a size which could be handled on`site, however, he wishes to keep the option open for surface discharge at the present time. Due to the presence of swimming just downstream of the proposed discharge, the public opposition to a discharge into the lake, and the difficulty encountered with small activated sludge systems serving restaurants, it is recommended that the permit be denied, Signature of Report Preparer ater Quality Regional Supervisor S s � Da e Page 5 Request No.: 5612 ------------------- WASTELOAD ALLOCATION APPROVAL FORM ------- Facility Name: NPDES No.: Type of Waste: Status: Receiving Stream: Classification: Subbasin: County: Regional Office: Requestor: Date of Request: Quad: Six Oaks Complex NC0078697 96.5% Domestic Proposed/New Green River C-Trout 30803 Henderson Asheville Jule Shanklin 3/5/90 G9NW MAY 3 1 ; 00 Asheville $icEl-;1 Office Drainage area :Asl3�3iU(1(NOrtlb�ir(i{ is Summer 7Q10: 22.00 cfs Winter 7Q10: 30.00 cfs Average flow: 80.00 cfs 30Q2: 40.00 cfs -------------------- RECOMMENDED EFFLUENT LIMITS -------------------------- PROPOSED �� SG►•IAc7LC�� � S �T 5 i "4-" Wasteflow (mgd) : 0.020 BOD5 (mg/1) : 30 DT 13 TSS (mg/1) : 30� Fecal coliform (#/100ml): 200 ,4 Chlorine MBAs (mg/1). monitor Oil and Grease (mg/1) : 30 ',�� ' �-�--, ;r-•, ,. .. � 1 .�, Toxicity Testing Req.. none ---------------------------- MONITORING ------------------------------------ Upstream (Y/N): Location: Downstream (Y/N): Location: ----------------------------- COMMENTS ------------------------------------- Proposed commercial development with gas station (existing), car wash, restaurant, motel, and library.
