3. Definitions
a. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected in a one-
month period. The monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of samples collected in a one-month period.
b. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during a
one-week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria
is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one-week period.
c. Flow, M3/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the
24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the
arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar
month.
d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the
summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual
values.
M5

Part I
Permit No. NC
e. 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 equiva-
lent 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).
f. Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following:
(1 ) Not less than four influent or effluent portions collected
at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and composited
in proportion to flow.
(2) Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions
collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional
to the flow.
(3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over
a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow.
g. Grab Sample: A "grab sample" is a single influent or effluent
portion which is not a composite sample. The sample(s) shall be
collected at the period(s) most representative of the total discharge.
4. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC
regulations published pursuant to N. C. G. S. 143-215.63 et seq, The
Water and Air Quality Reporting Act, 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.
5. Recording Results
For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of
this permit, the permittee shall record the following information:
a. The exact place, date, and time of sampling;
b. The dates the analyses were performed; and
c. The person(s) who performed the analyses.

shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the values required
in the Monthly Monitoring Report Form (DEM No. MR 1 .0, 1 .1 , and 1.4)
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.

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.

of such condition:
a. A description of the discharge and cause of noncompliance; and

diversion or bypass.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the
course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be disposed of in
a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from
entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United States.

consisting of a sub-surface nitrification trench, a tablet chlorinator
and cascade aeration. The existing septic tank will be resued. Plans
and specifications for the proposed facilities have not yet been
submitted.
Part III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1 . Evaluation: The proposed facilities, if properly designed and
constructed, should be adequate to meet the proposed effluent limitations.
(Note: As per telephone conversation with Connie Heavener, Technical
Services, the effluent limitations should be: BOD5 = 30 mg/1 , TSS =
30 mg/1 , D. 0. = 5.0 mg/1 (minimum), pH = 6-8.5 s.u. and Fecal
Coliform = 1000/100 ml ) .
2. Recommendations and/or Special Conditions: It is recommended that an
' NPDES Permit be issued as requested.
Note: The County Health Department is assisting Mr. Shytle in
preparation of plans and specifications for the proposed facilities.

ATTN: Mr. Thurman Horne
Dear Mr. Horne: lJf\N
In reference to our April 26 telephone conviStNerion regarding the
instilation of a workable and satisfactory sewage disposal system
for my residence, I am sending you this letter and the enclosed maps.
It was suggested that I give you a call and discuss my situation with
you by Mr.James McEntire of the Gaston County Health Department.
Have today requested that Mr. McEntire get in touch with you to
confire my situation which I have described.
The attached maps show the County, Township, and community
that I live in. They also show my property and the stream in question.
You will notice that the stream does not run directly through my
property. There is a strip of land aproximately eight to ten yards
wide between the back of my property and the stream. However there
iss a state, maintained road, Oakwood Circle, which has a common
rigitt of way w-i;th- my property and the stream. It is my intention
to request an easement from the State Highway Department to reach
the stream from my property through their right of way.
Tiye stream in question is a full fledged creek which runs
year around and at a swift and steady pace. It is approximately
eight to ten feet wide and is reasonably deep.
Approximately a month ago Mr. McEntire and a local Septic Tank
Contractor recommended that I install a third conventional Septic
tank drain field. The new drain field was to be two 100 feet single
Tines. At the same time Mr. McEntire observed that, because of
a drainage problem on my property, water was being allowed to stand
on my current drain fields until it soaked the ground rather than
being allowed to drain properly. He recommended that the ground
over the top of the drain line be filled in order to provide for
proper drainage of the ground water rather than having it stand on
top of the drain line.

As a result of that recommendation, I have had seven large dump truck
loads of dirt hauled into my yard to be spread, worked and seeded in
order to provide proper drainageof the property.
Yesterday, on the day that the work on the conventional drain
field was to begin, Mr. McEntire again inspected my property and
said that a conventional drain field was probably not the proper
solution to my septic tank problems. He then recommended that I
contact you to discuss alternative methods of sewage disposal .
I sincerely request your urgent consideration of this matter.
One very important reason for urgency is that neighborhood children,
as well as my own, are frequently caught playing in the mud created
by the sewage disposal and the dilrt that has been hauled in. Another
reason is that of the general nusence of having a yard full of
sewage and dirt.
Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do to
expedite this matter.
Very truly yours,
�picsei
Steve Shytle

MR. STEVE SHYTLE
729 MAPLE LEAF DRIVE
GASTONIA, N.C. 28052
Dear Mr. Shytle:
After evaluating your situation regarding the septic tank system
serving your residence, I have made the following conclusions:
1. Your septic tank system has been previously repaired with
unsatisfactory results.
2. The remaining area available for additional repairs is
not suitable due to lack of soil depth, unsuitable soil
characteristics, and high ground water table.
3. There is a stream near the back corner of your property.
I feel that your best and possibly only solution for abating
your sewage discharge is to apply for a sand filter permit from
the Department of Human Resources.
You can forward a copy of this letter along with your request.
Sincerely,
Ze
