Ensure discharge point(s) corresponds to NPDES permitted discharge point(s) . USGS Quad No. : F 14 SW U.S .G.S. Name: Gastonia North 6 . Size (land available for expansion and upgrading) : Limited area is available for expansion and upgrading. The existing sand filter is located in the 100 year flood plain. The proposed sand filter is being proposed to be constructed in the 100 year flood plain due to limited space. 7 . Topography (relationship to flood plain included) : Flat to steep slopes; The septic tank is not located in the flood plain. However, the sand filter will be located in the 100 year flood plain. 8 . Location of Nearest Dwelling: The nearest dwelling is approximately 150 feet from the plant. PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS 1. Type of Existing Treatment Facility: The existing treatment facility consist of a 2, 363 gallon septic tank, a dosing tank, and a subsurface sand filter system. 2 . Type of Proposed Treatment Facility: The proposed treatment facility will consist of a 5,000 gallon septic tank, a surface sand filter, and a chlorine contact chamber. * 3. Sludge Handling and Disposal Scheme: N/A 4 . Treatment Plant Classification (attached completed rating sheet) : N/A 5. SIC Code(s) : 6515 Wastewater Code(s) : 08 Main Treatment Unit Code: 0045 7 PART III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Fox Engineering, on behalf of Sante Mobile Home Park, is applying for an Authorization to Construct for the construction of upgraded WWT facilities . The proposed sand filter is to be constructed in the 100 year flood plain. Due to limited space available for construction and the need for the existing facility in order to comply with the permit limits, this Office has no objection to the location of the sand filter. However, precaution should be taken to prevent/limit flooding of the sand filter due to high water. The existing permit limits the facility to 1000 gpd, but the proposed discharge is 5000 gpd. The permittee, his Attorney and his Engineer were all notified by the MRO by letter dated January 30, 1996 of the need to amend the permit to increase the flow to 5000 gpd. Pending review and approval by the P & E, it is recommended that the authorization to construct be issued; However, flow through the system must be limited to 1000 gpd until the NPDES permit is amended.

To: Permits and Engineering Unit Water Quality Section ATTN: Greg Nizich Date: January 31, 1996 AUTHORIZATION TO CONSTRUCT • NPDES PERMIT REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS County: Gaston Permit No. AC0075116 PART I - GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Facility and Address: Sante Mobile Home Park 2637 Goble Street Gastonia, North Carolina 28056 2 . Date of On-Site Investigation (if conducted) : N/A 3. Report Prepared By: Samar Bou-Ghazale, Env. Engineer I 4 . Persons Contacted and Telephone Number: Mr. Dennis Fox; Tel# (704) 864-4766 5 . Verified Discharge Point(s) , List for All Discharge Points : Latitude: 35°15' 28° Longitude: 81°14' 52° Attach a USGS map extract and indicate treatment facility site and discharge point on map. Ensure discharge point(s) corresponds to NPDES permitted discharge point(s) . USGS Quad No. : F 14 SW U.S.G.S. Name: Gastonia North 6 . Size (land available for expansion and upgrading) : Limited area is available for expansion and upgrading. The existing sand filter is located in the 100 year flood plain. The proposed sand filter is being proposed to be constructed in the 100 year flood plain due to limited space. 7 . Topography (relationship to flood plain included) : Flat to steep slopes; The septic tank is not located in the flood plain. However, the sand filter will be located in the 100 year flood plain. 8 . Location of Nearest Dwelling: The nearest dwelling is approximately 150 feet from the plant. PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS 1 . Type of Existing Treatment Facility: The existing treatment facility consist of a 2,363 gallon septic tank, a dosing tank, and a subsurface sand filter system. 2 . Type of Proposed Treatment Facility: The proposed treatment facility will consist of a 5,000 gallon septic tank, a surface sand filter, and a chlorine contact chamber. ' 3. Sludge Handling and Disposal Scheme: N/A 4 . Treatment Plant Classification (attached completed rating sheet) : N/A 5 . SIC Code(s) : 6515 Wastewater Code(s) : 08 'Main Treatment Unit Code: 0045 7 PART III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Fox Engineering, on behalf of Sante Mobile Home Park, is applying for an Authorization to Construct for the construction of upgraded WWT facilities . The proposed sand filter is to be constructed in the 100 year flood plain. Due to limited space available for construction and the need for the existing facility in order to comply with the permit limits, this Office has no objection to the location of the sand filter. However, precaution should be taken to prevent/limit flooding of the sand filter due to high water. The existing permit limits the facility to 1000 gpd, but the proposed discharge is 5000 gpd. The permittee, his Attorney and his Engineer were all notified by the MRO by letter dated January 30, 1996 of the need to amend the permit to increase the flow to 5000 gpd. Pending review and approval by the P & E, it is recommended that the authorization to construct be issued; However, flow through the system must be limited to 1000 gpd until the NPDES permit is amended. if"'Y Lc, a--- Signature o Re ort Preparer / 1].) ?— i/7- Water Quality (R gional Supervisor /kh 6' Date /,,, ‘ „. „,,,-, . _,,,_ ,.„ U ��• %/ , ,, /,.:��„_i, r� Tao% , %/ 11ii ,,...„.\\. . ,/,--_,-,1 ., ( , 23-5:' : 2'‘. ‹-c•-- l'i 0 'I ...) / \\ _2 i \‘,11,i I 7 0 //),-e' v-- . __._ ,... „. .7 •, 4-..-----7f, I i _,-* (7,-.. ,-- -- L„,-, ,- - ,r____-J......„--- , : t ' -7 ;1 f- •77,•••../4Y'I.)')).''••• ',' ._-' -/•-•....., s ''''..:/// �/� \ ,,'�j \:�%,:// N ' , / jam. i /" f �"_ / PAP �' 7 �r �, _ '1• (--,;--../----.'/„' .''.1''''r___V\— �• Radioc, N 117-------,‘, y..

SCOPE OF PROJECT: The scope of this project is the construction of a 5,000 Gallon Septic Tank with a corresponding Dosing Tank with a 4" Syphon; a 30' long by 20' wide sewer surface sand filter; one 1,000 gallon precast septic tank with a distribution box on top of it which gives access to a Sanuril tablet chlorinator all to serve as a chlorine contact chamber; approximately 190 feet of 4" PVC gravity sewer line discharge pipe to a unnamed tributary to Crowder's Creek; and tie the proposed system to the existing sewer collection system for an existing mobile home park (formerly the Santee Mobile Home Park) . The existing mobile home park consists of 17 mobile homes (at 100% occupancy) and 1 residence. The calculated flow for this facility would be: 17 Mobile homes @ 250 Gals/Home = 4,250 Gallons 1 Residence @ 400 Gals/Day = 400 Gallons Total = 4 ,650 Gallons Or, say 5,000 Gallons Per Day. But the existing sewer facilities consists of a built in place 2 , 363 Gallon Septic Tank with a small dosing tank and a reported underground sand filter system with a discharge to the above mentioned branch or creek. Various records indicate the facilities were constructed between 1960 and 1970. The filter bed system is grossly overgrown with weeds and is located in the floodplain of the above mentioned creek. It is obvious that the system does not operate satisfactorily when visiting the facility. The Contractor will build the above facilities and have operational. He will then connect the existing dosing tank to the existing collection system as required. The extent of the existing collection system is not known. The contractor will do all clearing and grubbing, grading and grassing within 50' of the sand filter as required. No particular construction difficulties are expected for this project in that the proposed facilities can be constructed without interrupting the existing facilities. No soil borings or auguring for rock has been done on this project. The project is unclassified excavation - i . e. , no payments for rock encountered as set forth elsewhere in these specifications. The Contractor is to make his own assumptions about the locations or density of the rock in the area. He is encouraged to make his own drilling or auguring. The extent of utilities has been spotted as far as known. However, it is incumbent upon the Contractor to properly locate the existing utilities before setting final inverts or grades. B - 1 2. ESTIMATED QUANTITIES: The estimated quantities contained herein in certain items in the proposal or on the plans or in these specifications are estimates only. This contract is a lump sum contract and will not be adjusted. 3. EXAMINATION OF PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS AND SITES OF WORK: All bidders are required, before submitting bids on the proposed work, to visit the site of such proposed work and familiarize themselves with local conditions and the nature and extent of the work. They must also carefully examine the plans, specifications and special provisions before submitting bids on the work to be done. Professions of ignorance regarding the requirements of the work will in no way serve to modify the provisions of the contract. 4. FAMILIARITY WITH LAWS, ETC. : The bidder is assumed to be familiar with all Federal, State, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations which in any manner affect those engaged or employed in the work, or the material or equipment used in or upon the highway or street or in any way affecting the conduct of the work. No pleas of misunderstanding or ignorance on the part of the Contractor will in any way serve to modify the provisions of the Contract. The Contractor is cautioned that he will be required to satisfy the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Laws. Provisions must be made to protect against siltation and erosion. Sedimentation pits will be required near all major ditches. All sedimentation pits will have rip-rapped outlet ditches or devices. The Contractor will be required to immediately clean up the project and either sow temporary grassing or permanent grassing when any particular section has been disturbed for 30 days. He will also be required to maintain ditch lines which have been disturbed until they are stable once again. 5. CONTENTS OF PROPOSAL FORMS: The Engineer will furnish the bidder with proposal forms which will contain descriptions of the work to be done, an approximate estimate of various quantities of work to be performed and materials to be furnished, and the date and time of opening of these proposals. For convenience of the Contractor, he may submit his Proposal in a loose manner rather than bound. B - 2 MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS 1.

GENERAL: Construction of this project shall be done in accordance with the Engineers plans, these specifications, and as directed by the Engineer. Should conditions be encountered in the work which are not covered by these specifications or where it would not be practical or feasible to proceed with the work in strict accordance with the specifications or plans, then the contractor shall notify the Engineer and await instructions from him before proceeding with the work. 2. EXCAVATION - EARTH: The contractor shall make in open cut, to the lines and grades as shown on the plans, all excavation required for structures, pipe lines, building connections to sewers, and appurtenances. The contractor shall provide all sheathing and bracing, drainage, pumping, backfilling, and other incidental work necessary to the safe prosecution of the work. On all structures, the surplus excavation not required for backfilling around the structures shall be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. The Contractor will be responsible for all construction stakeout to agree with the plans. 3 . TRENCHING AND TRIMMING: The excavation between the sides of the trench must be of sufficient width to permit the work to be done in the manner specified. The bottom of all trenches shall have a clear width of at least one foot wider than the external diameter of the pipe. Whatever the nature of the ground will permit, the bottom of the excavation shall have the shape and dimensions of the outside of all pipes and structures; ample space shall be provided in the trenches around the joints to enable the workers to reach the pipe and properly make the joints. The pipe shall be laid in a bed of washed stone with a minimum depth of 6" under the pipe and the washed stone shall be poured around the pipe to the top of the pipe before dirt is allowed as backfill. 4. SHORING: Wherever necessary to prevent caving of the banks or injury to workmen, pipe, work, or sludge drying bed, the contractor shall at his own expense, brace and sheath the trenches or excavation sufficiently to overcome the difficulties. If such sheathing and bracing is left permanently in the trench or excavation by order of the Engineer, it shall be cut off one foot below grade. The Contractor shall comply with all aspects of the most recent revisions of OSHA. F - 1 5. CLEARING AND GRUBBING: (A) Clearing - All trees, logs, brush, boulders, and other objectionable material to the centerline of the telephone line shall be removed and hauled off-site and properly disposed. (B) Grubbing - All stumps and roots and other objectionable matter shall be grubbed and removed off-site. 6. WATER IN TRENCHES: Wherever groundwater is encountered, the contractor will be required to install such equipment and carry on the construction in such a manner as to provide the best possible laying conditions. He shall remove all water which may be accumulated or be found in the trenches or other excavations made under this contract by pumping or bailing, and no pipe shall be laid until such water has been removed from the trench. If groundwater is encountered it will be required that at least 6" of washed stone be placed in the trench to rid the trench of groundwater. The contractor will not be permitted to drain water through the sewer pipe. The ends of the pipe in the trench shall be kept closed with a tight fitting plug to prevent washing of dirt or debris into the sewer line. Water so removed from the trench must be disposed of in such a manner as not to cause injury to public health nor to public or private property, nor to the surface of the street, nor cause any interference with the use of the streets by the public. 7. BEDDING: All sewer lines and structures shall be installed on a minimum of 6" of fine washed stone for stabilization and firm bedding. The exact nature of the material to be excavated is not known. It is proposed to use the stone as a stabilization and de-watering process. 8. BACKFILLING: For the depth of at least two feet over the top of the pipe, the material used for backfilling trenches shall be clean earth, sand or rock dust and washed stone under and around the pipe. The space between the pipe and the bottom and sides of the trenches shall be washed stone (#67 or equal) and packed full by hand and thoroughly tamped with a light tamper, as fast as placed, up to the level of the top of the pipe. The filling shall be carried up evenly on both sides. The pipe shall then be covered carefully to a depth of at least eighteen (18) inches above its top, and at least one man engaged in tamping shall be provided. The material shall be deposited carefully in the trench to avoid injury to the sewer line. It shall be placed in layers that shall not exceed six (6) inches in thickness (depending on what F - 2 type of compaction techniques the Contractor is using) and each layer shall be carefully and solidly tamped with appropriate tools in such a manner as to avoid injury to or to disturb the completed sewer. Compaction of at least 95% maximum density as established by the Standard Proctor tests and in accordance with the latest AASHO specifications for compaction. The contractor will be required to furnish evidence of the percent compaction at the contractors expense. The foregoing applies in all cases where the sewer is laid under or along the shoulders of streets and roadways, in sub-divided sections, or in other places where compacting the trench throughout its depth may be required; the remainder of the trench, above an elevation of eighteen (18) inches higher than the crown of the sewer, shall be backfilled with approved material free from organic matter, no layer to be more than one (1) foot thick and each layer to be thoroughly tamped with rammers weighing not less than twenty ( 20) pounds, before another layer is deposited. Surplus material shall be re-moved but the contractor will be held responsible for replacing such material where required due to subsequent settlement. Where the trench is located in outlying districts, such as across farm lands, fields, etc. , no tamping will be required above an elevation eighteen (18) inches higher than the crown of the sewer. No heavy rock shall be dropped into the trench until there is at least three (3) feet of fill over the top of the sewer, and in depositing rock in the trench, care must be taken that the rock does not injure the structure. All spaces between pieces of rock shall be filled with earth to insure there being no voids. Where sheathing is drawn, all cavities remaining in or adjoining the trench shall be solidly filled. Backfilling within two (2) feet of manholes, catch basins, etc. , and other special structures shall be of selected material , free from organic material and rock. It shall be uniformly deposited on all sides and unless otherwise permitted, solidly tamped in such a manner as to avoid injury to the structures or producing unequal pressure on them. All backfilling compaction will be in accordance with the above paragraphs. 9. ROCK: All classifications are unclassified. The contractor will not receive compensation for removing any rock. No soil borings have been made on the project such that the extent of any rock is not known. When rock excavation is necessary at the Contractor's expense, the contractor shall excavate the same as near the neat lines of the trench as practicable and he shall take all due precautions in the pursuance of the work. He will be held strictly responsible for all injury to life and the public and F - 3 private property. Rock excavation shall extend six (6) inches below the invert of the pipe. 10. EXISTING PIPES: The contractor shall use every precaution to preserve intact all existing pipes under the ground. Where one is damaged, he shall repair or replace it immediately at his expense. 11. OBSTRUCTIONS TO TRAFFIC: The excavated material shall be placed on one side of the trench in such a manner as not to obstruct any drain or unnecessarily obstruct any passageway. All street hydrants, water valve boxes, fire alarm boxes, and letter boxes shall be kept accessible for immediate use. At street crossings, the contractor must, when necessary, provide a safe bridge with railings, to allow pedestrians to cross the trench. The contractor shall provide, without additional compensation, suitable temporary channels for the water that may flow along or across the site of the work. 12. RATE OF PROGRESS: Without permission from the Engineer, not more than 300 feet of trench shall be opened in advance of the completed work in any section, and in all cases, the work of excavation, pipe laying and backfilling must move forward at approximately equal rates of progress. Any exception to these requirements, over any considerable length of time, must be with the consent of the Engineer. 13 . TESTS: The contractor, on completion of the pipe laying, shall thoroughly clean by flushing and test all lines and manholes to the satisfaction of the Engineer. The contractor shall furnish the necessary equipment required by the Engineer for the purpose of the tests. Any or all of the following tests may be made on sewer after completion at the option of the Engineer: a. When looking from one manhole to another toward a light, the opening shall show circular. b. Sewer shall be flushed and the appearance and velocity of the water noted. 14. INFILTRATION LIMITS: The allowable limit of ground water infiltration for the entire system of new sewers of any one trunk, interceptor or outfall sewer, including connecting laterals and house connections made under this contract shall not exceed the following limits of F - 4 infiltration rates for full acceptance: 10 gallons per inch of diameter of the sewer per mile of sewer in 24 hours. Measurement of the infiltration shall be made direct at the point where the main enters the outfall line. This measurement shall be made before sewage flows are allowed in the sewers. Under dry soil conditions, the manhole shall be partially filled and the volume of water in the manhole during the period of the test. Other methods of testing may be required if there is an accountable infiltration source. Tests for both infiltration and exfiltration for all lines will be required. The contractor will be required to use Air Testing for the exfiltration tests. The test shall be as set forth in ANSI-ASTM C 828-78 or other widely used, acceptable to the contractors expense and shall be done in the presence of the Engineer prior to acceptance by the Owner. All infiltration tests shall be made by the contractor in the presence of the Engineer. All expense of the above tests shall be borne by the contractor. 15. SEEDING ALONG PROJECT RIGHT-OF-WAY: All disturbed areas in the project will be seeded in the following manner: Seedbed Preparation - Areas to be brought to proper grade. Limestone shall be applied and worked into the soil . Soil shall be scarified to a depth of 5 inches except for cut slopes steeper than 2: 1 . On cut slopes steeper than 2: 1 , surfaces shall be scarified, grooved, trenched, punctured, or otherwise loosened to form pockets, ridges or trenches in which seeding materials can lodge. After scarifying, surface should be disc harrowed to smooth up area. Seed and fertilizer should then be applied and covered with drag harrow and gone over with cultipaker. After seeding is completed, the area is to be cleared of rocks and roots and then mulched with straw or other approved material. When using straw, it is to be covered with a sufficient amount of asphalt to hold it in place. 1. Apply agricultural lime at the rate of 2 tons/acre. 2 . Apply 10-10-10 commercial fertilizer at the rate of 900 lbs./acre. 3. Seed in accordance with the following schedule and application rates: DATE TYPE PLANTING RATE Aug. 15 - Nov. 1 Tall Fescue 300 lbs./ac. F - 5 * Nov. 1 - Mar. 1 Tall Fescue & 300 lbs./ac. Abruzzi Rye 25 lbs./ac. Mar. 1 - Apr. 15 Tall Fescue 300 lbs./ac. Apr. 15 - Jul. 30 Hulled Common Bermudagrass 30 lbs./ac. Jul . 15 - Aug. 15 Tall Fescue & 300 lbs./ac. Browntop Millet 35 lbs./ac. OR Sorghum Sudan Hybrids 30 lbs./ac. 4. Mulch with straw applied at the rate of 2 tons/acre. * Heavily mulched during January - March period. On cut and fill slopes steeper than 2"1 and 1/2 lb. Sericca Lespedza per 100 sq. yds. . On fill slopes, add 1/2 lb. Grain Rye per 100 sq. yds. . If seeding is done between May 1 and September 1, add 1/2 lb. Sudan Grass for protection of Fescue. Rye Grain on fill slopes can be omitted during this period. The amount of straw will vary from 80 lbs. to 120 lbs. per 100 sq. yds. . The actual amount is determined by visual inspection so as to allow some sunlight to penetrate and air to circulate, but also partially shade the ground and reduce erosion and conserve moisture. No seeding will be allowed to stand more than 24 hours without being mulched. No seeding shall be done when soil is too wet to work.

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. 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.

Part II Page 1 of 14 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS SECTION A. DEFINITIONS 1. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Environmental Management. 2. DEM or Division Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment,Health and Natural Resources. 3. EMC 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/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 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. • 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)(l)of the Clean Water Act. SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS 1. puty to Comply The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application. a.

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. Part II Page 10 of 14 6.

If the permittee believes that any past or planned activity would be cause for modification or revocation and reissuance, the permittee must report such information to the Permit Issuing Authority. The submittal of a new application Part II Page 2 of 14 may be required of the permittee. The filing of a request by the permittee for a permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination, or a notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliances, does not stay any permit condition. 5. Toxic Pollutants Notwithstanding Part II, A-4 above, if a toxic effluent standard or prohibition (including any schedule of compliance specified in such effluent standard or prohibition) is established under Section 307(a) of the Act for a toxic pollutant which is present in the discharge, if such standard or prohibition is more stringent than any limitation for such pollutant in this permit, this permit shall be revised or modified in accordance with the toxic effluent standard prohibition and the permittee so notified. The permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under Section 307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants within the time provided in the regulations that establish those standards or prohibitions, even if the permit has not yet been modified to incorporate the requirement. 6. Civil and Criminal Liability Except as provided in permit conditions on "Bypassing" (Part II, B-3) and "Power Failures" (Part II, B-6), nothing in this permit shall be construed to relieve the permittee from any responsibilities, liabilities, or penalties for noncompliance pursuant to NCGS 143-215.3, 143-215.6 or Section 309 of the Federal Act, 33 USC 1319. Furthermore, the permittee is responsible for consequential damages, such as fish kills, even though the responsibility for effective compliance may be temporarily suspended. 7. Oil and Hazardous Substance Liability Nothing in this permit shall be construed to preclude the institution of any legal action or relieve the permittee from any responsibilities, liabilities, or penalties to which the permittee is or may be subject to under NCGS 143-215.75 et seq. or Section 311 of the Federal Act, 33 USC 1321. Furthermore, the permittee is responsible for consequential damages, such as fish kills, even though the responsibility for effective compliance may be temporarily suspended. 8. Property Rights The issuance of this permit does not convey any property rights in either real or personal property, or any exclusive privileges, nor does it authorize any injury to private property or any invasion of personal rights, nor any infringement of Federal, State or local laws or regulations. Part II Page 3 of 14 9. Onshore of Offshore Construction This permit does not authorize or approve the construction of any onshore or offshore physical structures or facilities or the undertaking of any work in any navigable waters. 10. Severability The provisions of this permit are severable, and if any provision of this permit, or the application of any provision of this permit to any circumstances, is held invalid, the application of such provision to other circumstances, and the remainder of this permit, shall not be affected thereby. 11. Duty to Provide Information The permittee shall furnish to the Permit Issuing Authority, within a reason- able time, any information which the Permit Issuing Authority may request to determine whether cause exists for modifying, revoking and reissuing, or terminating this permit or to determine compliance with this permit.

SECTION D. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS 1. Change in Discharge All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified in this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit. Any anticipated facility expansions, production increases, or process modifications which will result • Part II Page 7 of 14 in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must be reported by submission of a new NPDES application or, if such changes will not violate the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to the DEM of such changes. Following such notice, the permit may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited. 2. Anticipated Noncompliance The permittee shall give notice to the Permit Issuing Authority of any planned change in the permitted facility or activity which may result in noncompliance with permit requirements. Any maintenance of facilities, which might necessitate unavoidable interruption of operation and degradation of effluent quality, shall be scheduled during noncritical water quality periods and carried out in a manner approved by the Permit Issuing Authority. 3. Transfer of Ownership or Control This permit is not transferable. In the event of any change in name, control or ownership of facilities from which the authorized discharge emanates or is contemplated, the permittee shall notify the prospective owner or controller by letter of the existence of this permit and of the need to obtain a permit in the name of the prospective owner. A copy of the letter shall be forwarded to the Division of Environmental Management. 4. Additional Monitoring by Permittee If the permittee monitors any pollutant at the location(s) designated herein more frequently than required by this permit, using approved analytical methods as specified above, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the values is required in the DMR. Such increased frequency shall also be indicated. The DEM may require more frequent monitoring or the monitoring of other pollutants not required in this permit by written notification. 5. Averaging of Measurements Calculations for limitations which require averaging of measurements shall utilize an arithmetic mean unless otherwise specified by the Permit Issuing Authority in the permit. 6. Noncompliance Notification The permittee shall report by telephone to either the central office or the appropriate regional office of the Division as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following: Part II Page 8 of 14 a. Any occurrence at the water pollution control facility which results in the discharge of significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or characteristic, such as the dumping of the contents of a sludge digester; the known passage of a slug of hazardous substance through the facility; or any other unusual circumstances. b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the facility incapable of adequate wastewater treatment such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, aerators, compressors, etc. c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment facility resulting in a by-pass directly to receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such station or facility. d. Any time that self-monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of compliance with its NPDES permit limitations. Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter form within 15 days following first knowledge of the occurrence. 7. Changes in Discharges of Toxic Substances: The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority as soon as it knows or has reason to believe: a. That any activity has occurred or will occur which would result in the discharge, on a routine or frequent basis, of any toxic substance(s) (listed at 40 CFR S 122, Appendix D, Table II and III) which is not limited in the permit, if that discharge will exceed the highest of the following "notification levels". (1) One hundred micrograms per liter (100ug/l); (2) Two hundred micrograms per liter (200 ug/1) for acrolein and acrylonitrile; five hundred micrograms per liter (500 ug/1) for 2,4-dinitrophenol and for 2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenol; and one milligram per liter (1 mg/1) for antimony; or (3) Five (5) times the maximum concentration value reported for that pollutant(s) in the permit application. b.

SECTION E. DEFINITION 1. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Environmental Management. 2. DEM or Division Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Natural Resources and Community Development. Part II Page 11 of 14 3. EMC: 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/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 wqpre reported. The limitation is identified as "Daily Average" dr "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. 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. Part II Page 12 of 14 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" or "Daily 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. It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" 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. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. Part II Page 13 of 14 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. 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. Part II Page 14 of 14 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 III OTHER REQUIREMENTS A.

Part II Page 1of14 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS SECTION A. DEFINITIONS I. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. 2. DEM or"the Division" Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment,Health and Natural Resources. 3. EMC 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/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 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. 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. Part II Page 2 of 14 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 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. 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 I of the permit. 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. 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. Part II Page 3 of 14 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. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the receiving waters. 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. Part II Page 4 of 14 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. SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS 1. Duty to Comply The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit.

Previous Permits All previous National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permits issued to this facility, whether for operation or discharge, are hereby revoked by issuance of this permit. [The exclusive authority to operate this facility arises under this permit. The authority to operate the facility under previously issued permits bearing this number is no longer effective. ] The conditions, requirements, terms, and provisions of this permit authorizing discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System govern discharges from this facility. SECTION C. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS 1. Certified Operator Pursuant to Chapter 90A44 of North Carolina General Statutes, and upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. The permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and any grade to comply with the conditions of Title 15A,Chapter 8A .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility at least daily, excluding weekends and holidays, and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A .0202. Once the facility is classified, the permittee shall submit a letter to the Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible charge within thirty days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50% complete. 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. Part II Page 8 of 14 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; (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. Part II Page 9 of 14 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: (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)(B) of this permit. (4) 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 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 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 Reliability, to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by means of alternate power sources,standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent. PartII Page 10 of 14 SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS 1. 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 which 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. 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 (DEM No. MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director, DEM, postmarked no later than the 30th day 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: Division of Water Quality Water Quality Section ATTENTION: Central Files Post Office Box 29535 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 3. Flow Measurements Appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. The devices shall be installed,calibrated and maintained to ensure that the accuracy of the measurements are consistent with the accepted capability of that type of device. Devices selected shall be capable of measuring flows with a maximum deviation of less than+ 10% from the true discharge rates throughout the range of expected discharge volumes. Once-through condenser cooling water flow which is monitored by pump logs,or pump hour meters as specified in Part I of this permit and based on the manufacturer's pump curves shall not be subject to this requirement. 4. Test Procedures Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts,and to regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g),33 USC 1314,of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act,as Amended,and Regulation 40 CFR 136; or in the case of sludge use or disposal,approved under 40 CFR 136,unless otherwise specified in 40 CFR 503,unless other test procedures have been specified in this permit. To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce minimum detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and Part II Page 11 of 14 reporting levels below permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level)approved method must be used. 5.

Part II Page l of 14 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS SECTION A. DEFINITIONS 1. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Environmental Management. 2. DEM or Division Means the Division of Environmental Management,Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources. 3. wIC 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/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 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. 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. Part II Page 2 of 14 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 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. 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 I of the permit. 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. 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. Part II Page 3 of 14 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. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the receiving waters. 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). Part II Page 4 of 14 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. SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS 1.

Previous Permits All previous National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permits issued to this facility, whether for operation or discharge, are hereby revoked by issuance of this permit. [The exclusive authority to operate this facility arises under this permit. The authority to operate the facility under previously issued permits bearing this number is no longer effective. ] The conditions, requirements, terms, and provisions of this permit authorizing discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System govern discharges from this facility. SECTION C. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS 1. Certified Operator Pursuant to Chapter 90A-44 of North Carolina General Statutes, and upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. The permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and any grade to comply with the conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility at least daily, excluding weekends and holidays, and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A .0202. Once the facility is classified, the permittee shall submit a letter to the Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible charge within thirty days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50%complete. 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; (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 Part II Page 9 of 14 • 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 pennittee 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: (1)An upset occurred and that the pennittee 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) (B) of this permit. (4)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 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 Part II Page 10 of 14 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 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 Reliability, to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent. SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS 1. 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 which 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. 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 (DEM No. MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director,DEM,postmarked no later than the 30th day 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: Division of Environmental Management Water Quality Section ATTENTION: Central Files Post Office Box 29535 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 3. Flow Measurements Appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. The devices shall be installed, calibrated and maintained to ensure that the accuracy of the measurements are consistent with the accepted capability of that type of device. Devices selected shall be capable of measuring flows with a maximum deviation of less than + 10% from the true discharge rates throughout the range of expected y f Part II Page 11 of 14 discharge volumes. Once-through condenser cooling water flow which is monitored by pump logs,or pump hour meters as specified in Part I of this permit and based on the manufacturer's pump curves shall not be subject to this requirement. 4. Test Procedures Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act,as Amended,and Regulation 40 CFR 136; or in the case of sludge use or disposal, approved under 40 CFR 136, unless otherwise specified in 40 CFR 503, unless other test procedures have been specified in this permit. To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit,all test procedures must produce minimum detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level)approved method must be used. 5. Penalties for Tampering The Clean Water Act provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate, any monitoring device or method required to be maintained under this permit shall, upon conviction,be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 per violation,or by imprisonment for not more than two years per violation, or by both. If a conviction of a person is for a violation committed after a first conviction of such person under this paragraph, punishment is a fine of not more than$20,000 per day of violation,or by imprisonment of not more than 4 years, or both. 6. Records Retention Except for records of monitoring information required by this permit related to the permittee's sewage sludge use and disposal activities, which shall be retained for a period of at least five years (or longer as required by 40 CFR 503), the permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including all calibration and maintenance records and all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation, copies of all reports required by this permit, for a period of at least 3 years from the date of the sample, measurement, report or application.

SECTION D. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS 1. Change in Discharge All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified in this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit. Any anticipated facility expansions, production increases, or process modifications which will result • Part II Page 7 of 14 in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must be reported by submission of a new NPDES application or, if such changes will not violate the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to the DEM of such changes. Following such notice, the permit may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited. 2. Anticipated Noncompliance The permittee shall give notice to the Permit Issuing Authority of any planned change in the permitted facility or activity which may result in noncompliance with permit requirements. Any maintenance of facilities, which might necessitate unavoidable interruption of operation and degradation of effluent quality, shall be scheduled during noncritical water quality periods and carried out in a manner approved by the Permit Issuing Authority. 3. Transfer of Ownership or Control This permit is not transferable. In the event of any change in name, control or ownership of facilities from which the authorized discharge emanates or is contemplated, the permittee shall notify the prospective owner or controller by letter of the existence of this permit and of the need to obtain a permit in the name of the prospective owner. A copy of the letter shall be forwarded to the Division of Environmental Management. 4. Additional Monitoring by Permittee If the permittee monitors any pollutant at the location(s) designated herein more frequently than required by this permit, using approved analytical methods as specified above, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the values is required in the DMR. Such increased frequency shall also be indicated. The DEM may require more frequent monitoring or the monitoring of other pollutants not required in this permit by written notification. 5. Averaging of Measurements Calculations for limitations which require averaging of measurements shall utilize an arithmetic mean unless otherwise specified by the Permit Issuing Authority in the permit. 6. Noncompliance Notification The permittee shall report by telephone to either the central office or the appropriate regional office of the Division as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following: Part II Page 8 of 14 a. Any occurrence at the water pollution control facility which results in the discharge of significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or characteristic, such as the dumping of the contents of a sludge digester; the known passage of a slug of hazardous substance through the facility; or any other unusual circumstances. b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the facility incapable of adequate wastewater treatment such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, aerators, compressors, etc. c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment facility resulting in a by-pass directly to receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such station or facility. d. Any time that self-monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of compliance with its NPDES permit limitations. Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter form within 15 days following first knowledge of the occurrence. 7. Changes in Discharges of Toxic Substances: The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority as soon as it knows or has reason to believe: a. That any activity has occurred or will occur which would result in the discharge, on a routine or frequent basis, of any toxic substance(s) (listed at 40 CFR S 122, Appendix D, Table II and III) which is not limited in the permit, if that discharge will exceed the highest of the following "notification levels". (1) One hundred micrograms per liter (100 ug/l); (2) Two hundred micrograms per liter (200 ug/l) for acrolein and acrylonitrile; five hundred micrograms per liter (500 ug/l) for 2,4-dinitrophenol and for 2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenol; and one milligram per liter (1 mg/1) for antimony; or (3) Five (5) times the maximum concentration value reported for that pollutant(s) in the permit application. b.

SECTION E. DEFINITION 1. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Environmental Management. 2. DEM or Division Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Natural Resources and Community Development. Part II Page 11 of 14 3. EMC: 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/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 "Daily Average" or "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. 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. Part II Page 12 of 14 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" or "Daily 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. It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" 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. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. Part II Page 13 of 14 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. 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. Part II Page 14 of 14 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. r . PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS A.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The existing wastewater treatment facility at Suntee Mobile Home Park contains a septic tank and dosing tank which together Page Three is 22 feet in length. The septic tank itself is 8 feet deep and 4 feet wide and approximately 16 feet long (dimensions submitted by the owner) . The effluent empties into a subsurface sand filter bed. The initial inspection revealed wastewater ponding on the surface of the sand filter, and brush and debris extremely thick. After the owner cleaned the area above the sand filter, the wastewater surfacing seems to have ceased. Based on 12 mobile homes at 2 bedrooms per trailer and 120 gallons/day/bedroom the design wastewater equals 2880 gallons. Using a septic tank dimension of 16 ' x 4 ' x 8 ' the tank capacity is 3829 gallons which is adequate for the incoming wastewater flow. Pending receipt of a Waste Load Allocation from Technical Services, it is recommended that the Permit be issued with the condition that the facility connect to an area-wide sewer system as soon as possible.

Other: It is recommended that chlorine disinfection be added to the system within sixty ( 60) days of the permit issuance. PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The existing wastewater treatment facility at Suntee Mobile Home Park contains a septic tank and dosing tank which together • Page Three is 22 feet in length. The septic tank itself is 8 feet deep and 4 feet wide and approximately 16 feet long (dimensions submitted by the owner) . The effluent empties into a subsurface sand • filter bed. The initial inspection revealed wastewater ponding on the surface of the sand filter, and brush and debris extremely thick. After the owner cleaned the area above the sand filter, the wastewater surfacing seems to have ceased. Based on 12 mobile homes at 2 bedrooms per trailer and 120 gallons/day/bedroom the design wastewater equals 2880 gallons . Using a septic tank dimension of 16 ' x 4 ' x 8 ' the tank capac:_ ty is 3829 gallons which is adequate for the incoming wastewater flow. ending receipt of a Waste Load Allocation from Technical Services, it is recommended that the Permit be issued with the condition that the facility connect to an area-wide sewer system as soon as possible.
