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

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 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

r
General Permit NCG660000

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

Dear Ms. Quilliams:
1. Mr. Ron Boone of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Mooresville Regional Office (MRO)
conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) on 25 June 2008 of the wastewater treatment system
(WWTS) that serves the subject facility. Your cooperation and assistance during the CEI was greatly
appreciated. This letter is a summary/follow up for the CEI and inspection checklists are attached for your
records.
2. Inspection of the system revealed only one concern:
A. Analytical monitoring is not being conducted in accordance with Part I(A) of the permit. You must
complete this monitoring annually using a NC certified laboratory.
3. No other discrepancies were noted during the inspection. The system appears to be well operated and
maintained. There were no signs of system failure noted.
4. Please take all steps necessary to correct the discrepancies noted above in paragraph 2. You should be
aware that failure to comply with any condition of your permit (NCG550535) constitutes a failure to
comply with NC General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.1, for which the Department has been delegated the
authority to assess civil penalties not to exceed $25,000 per day, per violation, in accordance with NCGS
143-215.6A.

Dear Permittee:
The Division of Environmental Management has recently evaluated all existing individual permits for potential
coverage under general permits currently issued by the Division. 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0127 allows the Division to
evaluate groups of permits having similar discharge activities for coverage under general permits and issue
coverage where the Division finds control of the discharges more appropriate in this manner. The Division has
determined that the subject discharge qualifies for such coverage. Therefore, the Division is hereby issuing the
subject Certificate of Coverage under the state-NPDES general permit no. NCG550000 which shall void NPDES
Permit NC0076392. This Certificate of Coverage is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina and the
US Environmental Protection Agency Memorandum of Agreement dated December 6,1983 and as subsequently
amended.
If any parts,measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this general permit are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to submit an individual permit application, associated processing fee and letter requesting
coverage under an individual permit. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please
take notice this Certificate of Coverage is not transferable. Part II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be followed
in case of change of ownership or control of this discharge.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the
Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this Division, such as the
construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities. Construction of any
wastewater treatment facilities will require issuance of an Authorization to Construct from this Division.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Certificate of Coverage and respective general permit may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in accordance with
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C. Please note that the general permit does require
monitoring in accordance with federal law. The monitoring data is not required to be submitted to the Division
unless specifically requested, however, the permittee is required to maintain all records for a period of at least
three (3) years.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. PEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment,Health
and Natural Resources.
3. ESE
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or"the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act,as amended,
33 USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Dav Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during the calendar week(Sunday- Saturday)on which daily
discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such week. It is,therefore, an arithmetic mean found
by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this
sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as
"Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged
during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight
of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is
identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.

f �
Part II
Page 2 of 14
d. The"average annual discharge"is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured,divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such year. It is,therefore,an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average"
in Part I of the permit.
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration,"other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum
of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average
monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for
samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" under"Other Units" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,is the sum
of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
week (Sunday/Saturday)on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided
by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week
(arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is
equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that
calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric
mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is
identified as "Weekly Average"under"Other Units"in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration"is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration
of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified
as "Daily Maximum" under"Other Units"in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration,"other than for fecal coliform bacteria,is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average
yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples
collected during a calendar year.
e. The"daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen)is the minimum allowable
amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge
averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a
calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the
discharge. It is identified as "daily average"in the text of Part I.

Part II
Page 3 of 14
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a
calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation"in the text of Part I
of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods:January through
March,April through June,July through September,and October through December.
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows
recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of
sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility
which occurs continually 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.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) 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
(2) 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 present gallon interval
between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily
flow at the treatment system,or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional
to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be
no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall
be no greater 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 time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in
number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However,in
no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6)
hours nor the number of samples less than four(4)during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes;the grab sample can be taken manually.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.

Part II
Page 4 of 14
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the
product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values.
The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms
of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of
zero (0) shall be considered to be one(1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective
flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as 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.
11.Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant
to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1)of the Clean Water
Act.

Part II
Page 8 of 14
2. Proper Operation and Maintenance
The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of
treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the
permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and
maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance
procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or
similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to
achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit.
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.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means 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.
(2) "Severe property damage" means 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 does not mean economic loss
caused by delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
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 c. and d. of
this section.
c. Notice
(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 affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass
as required in Part II,E. 6. of this permit. (24-hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass 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;

Part II
Page 9 of 14
(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 c.of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass,after considering
its adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the
three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and
temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of
factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include
noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error,improperly designed treatment
facilities,inadequate treatment facilities,lack of preventive maintenance,or careless or
improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for
noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the
requirements of paragraph c. 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.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence
that:
(a) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s)of the upset;
(b) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(c) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II,E. 6. (b) (B) of
this permit.
(d) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II,B. 2.of
this permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an •
upset has the burden of proof.

6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash,or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or
control of wastewaters shall be 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 disposal of sludge
may be reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable
requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part
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 DEM
Regulation, Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124

Wastewater Treatment Facility
Gaston County
Dear Ms. Quilliams:
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received May 17, 1990 by the
Division and final plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and found to
be satisfactory. Authorization is hereby granted for the construction of 900 GPD wastewater
treatment facility consisting of a 1,000 gallon septic tank, a distribution box for four 4-inch sand
filter distribution lines, a 50-foot by 12-foot subsurface sand filter, a tablet chlorinator with 30
minute chlorine contact, and associated appurtenances with discharge of treated wastewater into the
South Fork Catawba River, classified Class WS-III waters.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III paragraph B of
NPDES Permit No. NC0076392 issued April 2, 1990, and shall be subject to revocation unless
the wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations
specified in Permit No. NC0076392.
The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with
G.S. 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions,the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action,including those as may be
required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater
treatment or disposal facilities.
The Mooresville Regional Office, phone no. 704/ 663-1699 shall be notified at least
forty-eight (48) hours in advance of operation of the installed facilities so that an in-place
inspection can be made. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made during the
normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding State
Holidays.

Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a
certification must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility has
been installed in accordance with the NPDES Permit, this Authorization to Construct and the
approved plans and specifications. Mail the Certification to the Permits and Engineering Unit,
P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, NC 27611.
The Permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be in
responsible charge of the wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the
grade at least equivalent to the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the
Certification Commission. Within thirty days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50%
complete,the Permittee must submit a letter to the Certification Commission which designates the
operator in responsible charge.
A copy of the approved plans and specifications shall be maintained on file by the Permittee
for the life of the facility.
The sand media of the Subsurface sand filter must comply with the Division's sand
specifications. The engineer's certification will be evidence that this certification has been met.
A leakage test shall be performed on the septic tank and dosing tank to insure that any
exfiltration occurs at a rate which does not exceed twenty (20) gallons per twenty-four(24) hour
per 1,000 gallons of tank capacity. The engineer's certification will serve as proof of compliance
with this condition.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Authorization to Construct may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in
accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6.
The issuance of this Authorization to Construct does not preclude the Permittee from
complying with any and all statutes,rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be imposed by
other government agencies (local, state, and federal)which have jurisdiction.
One (1) set of approved plans and specifications is being forwarded to you. If you have
any questions or need additional information, please contact Mr. John Seymour, telephone

4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as
amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It is
therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by
the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is
identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of
all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week
(Sunday-Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,
divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured
during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by
adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then
dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a
pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is
taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from
it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as
"Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 12 of 14
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily
discharges sample and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily
discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an
arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of
the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the
permit.
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges
samples and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected
during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average"
under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during
that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar
week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other
Limits" in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant
discharge during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any
calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the
"Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under
"Other Limits ' in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 13 of 14
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The
daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite
sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The
average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean
of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This
limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part 1
of the permit.
e. The "daily minimum concentration" (for dissolved oxygen only) is the
minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in
the effluent prior to discharge. It is identified as "Daily Minimum" under
"Other Limits" in Part III of the permit.
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD) : The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours
average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean
of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time
of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the
total discharge.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time
of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which
case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a
period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken
manually.

Part II
Page 14 of 14
9. Calculation of Means
a. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation
of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of
the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of
individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of
the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For
purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the
respective flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as 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.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of
the Clean Water Act.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The proposed wasteflow was originally to be discharged into
a natural drainage ditch which enters South Fork Catawba River
via a culvert under N. C. Highway 7 . The proposed discharge
point is approximately 150 feet east of the river. Due to the
fact that the designated receiving water does not meet flow
criteria established by the State, the issuance of an NPDES

Page Three
Discharge Permit for the subject proposal was subsequently
denied.
The applicant has recently requested -that the discharge
point be relocated and the proposed wasteflow be discharged
directly into South Fork Catawba River which has a sufficient
amount of flow to accommodate the proposed discharge.
It is recommended that an NPDES Discharge Permit be issued
to the applicant as requested for a septic tank/surface sand
filter system. Furthermore, it is recommended that the discharge
be connected to an area-wide system as soon as one becomes
available.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The proposed wasteflow is to be discharged into a natural
drainage ditch which enters South Fork Catawba River via a
culvert under N. C. Highway 7. The proposed discharge point is
approximately 150 feet east of the river. According to Ms. Lois
Quilliams, owner of property, the drainage ditch, which

Page Three
originates from springs, has never ceased flowing even in a
drought season.
It is recommended that an NPDES discharge permit be issued
to the applicant as requested. If the proposed septic tank/sand
filter system is determined to be able to meet the minimum
effluent limitations recommended by Technical Services, a
surface sand filter is recommended prior to issuance of an
Authorization to Construct. Furthermore, it is recommended that
the discharge be connected to an area-wide system as soon as one
becomes available.

Mr . & Mrs . John Qua ;

Lowell , N . C . 28098
Dear Mr. & Mrs . Ouiil7.ams :
On November 30 , 1988 , at your request , James O. McEntire , R. S .
and David Oliver, R . `S . , made an inspection of your property
located at Riverside Drive , McAdenville , N. C . , McAdenville Corp.
Book 9 , Map 3 , Parcel 8 , to determine the suitability of the site
for a ground absorption sewage disposal system. The site, was
iudoed unsuitable for the folaowing reasons :
1 . Insufficient soil depth - less than 24" to rock in the only
area where soil existed .
2 . Extensive rock (massive) on western side of the property .
3. The eastern side of the lot is fill consisting of broken rock
and saprolite over a buried stream culvert .
Therefore , your request for an Improvements Permit is denied.
The Gaston County Sewzce Disposal Regulations permit the owner
two possible courses of action. I have enclosed a copy of
Article V, Section XI-C and Article XXII , Section I for your
examination.
If there are any further questions regarding this matter , please
advise .
Sincerely,
-,7 f /, y
