On July 20, 1999, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified House Bill 1160, the Clean
Water Act of 1999, which placed significant new reporting requirements on those entities that
own or operate wastewater treatment and collection systems. Specific items included:
1. A Spill Response Plan
2. Sewer Collection System Operation & Maintenance Plan
3. Annual Performance Report
These new requirements became effective October 1, 1999. This law was established to provide
a mechanism for public oversight (and hopefully, to instill public confidence) in owners and
operators of wastewater treatment systems and in their efforts to protect the waters of the state.
We are pleased to announce that the Annual Performance Report for our wastewater treatment
and sewer line collection system is now available for review.
We are pleased to report that all operating parameters were in compliance with NPDES
Permit Limits for the operating year. Our systems are well operated and maintained in our
efforts to protect our local environment and the quality of the waters in our streams.
A copy of the full report is available to interested persons by contacting the Association Office at
526-2203.
The Highlands Falls Community Association is pleased to be a part of this on -going
environmental protection effort.

Annual Performance Report
Wastewater Treatment Systems
On July 20, 1999, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified House Bill 1160, the Clean Water
Act of 1999, which placed significant new reporting requirements on those entities that own or
operate wastewater treatment and collection systems. Specific items included:
1. A Spill Response Plan
2. Sewer Collection System Operation & Maintenance Plan
3. Annual Performance Report
These new requirements became effective October 1, 1999. This law was established to provide
a mechanism for public oversight (and hopefully, to instill public confidence) in owners and
operators of wastewater treatment systems and in their efforts to protect the waters of the state.
We are pleased to announce that the Annual Performance Report for our wastewater treatment
and sewer line collection system is now available for review.
We are pleased to report that all operating parameters were in compliance with NPDES
Permit Limits for the operating year. Our systems are well operated and maintained in our
efforts to protect our local environment and the quality of the waters in our streams.
A copy of the full report is available to interested persons by contacting the Association Office at
526-2203.
The Highlands Falls Community Association is pleased to be a part of this on -going
environmental protection effort.

Highland Falls WWTP- NCO059552
Macon County
On January 25, 2010, 1 issued a Notice of Violation ("NOV") against Highland Falls WWTP- NC0059552.
The NOV was based upon a violation of the reporting requirement by failing to submit the November 2009
discharge monitoring report with the Division of Water Quality within the thirty (30) day reporting period.
Subsequent to your receipt of the penalty, Janet Cantwell of the Asheville Regional Staff, discovered that the
missing DMR was mistakenly stapled to another DMR. In the future please take care to eliminate this error.
As a result, I have withdrawn the NOV against Highland Falls WWTP- NCO059552 for the cited violation and
directed that the record of this assessment be removed from our files.
If you have any questions about this matter, please contact me at [phone] or by email at

Description of Treatment Process, Collection System and Facilities Served:
Treatment Process - The system operates two (2) treatment process units:
The larger treatment facility is a typical "Extended Aeration" process with ultraviolet
(LTV) disinfection capable of treating 135,000 gallons per day (gpd). The treated
effluent is discharged to Saltrock Branch in the Little Tennessee River Basin.
The smaller treatment facility is a typical "Subsurface Sand Filter" process capable of
treating 3,000 gallons per day (gpd). The treated effluent is discharged to an un-named
tributary to the Cullasaja River which is classified Class WS-I11 Trout waters in the
Little Tennessee River Basin.
Collection System - The main collection system is a standard gravity design with 8-inch
diameter pipe and standard pre -cast manholes. The system also incorporates 15 sewer lift
stations with various sizes of small diameter force main which discharge to the gravity
portions of the system. Highlands Falls maintains a Spill Response Plan and an Operation
and Maintenance Plan for the sewer collection system.

WWTP LOCATION:
The WWTP is located adjacent to the golf course, below the rest rooms on the right in the edge
of the woods.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION:
The 0.003 MGD wastewater treatment system consists of:
900 gallon septic tank with automatic siphon; 28' x 28' sub -surface sand filter; and tablet
chlorinator.
Four to five homes (with their individual septic tanks) and two restrooms on the golf course are
tied into this system.
No discharge had ever been observed by staff, even though the sand bed has a plastic liner.
Suspect that low flows, seasonal residents and evaporation are the probably the reasons.
INSPECTION:
Paul Dills, grade II certified ORC, assisted in the inspection.
RECORDS AND REPORTS:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was
conducted on 9-10-2008 by Janet Cantwell.
The permit expires on 11130/2012. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration.
A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.
The 2008 Annual Performance Report was received by DWQ on March 3, 2009.

This laboratory was inspected to verify its compliance with the requirements of 15A. NCAC 2H .0800 for
the` analysis of environmental samples.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The staff is congratulated for doing a good job of maintaining the Field Parameter Laboratory Certification
program, especially in documentation and record retention. The facility has all the equipment necessary
to perform the analyses. Most data appeared accurate. Technical Assistance documents were given to
the analyst at the time of the inspection.
FINDINGS, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Comment: The facilities certificate lists pH by EPA Method 150.1 and Temperature by EPA Method
170.1. These methods are no longer approved as of the March 12, 2007 Federal Register. An
Amendment Application was submitted at the time of the inspection to replace these methods with EPA
approved methods. No further response is necessary for this finding.
pH — Standard Methods, 18th Edition, 4500 — H+ B.
A. Finding: For approximately one month prior to the inspection, the calibration verification buffer was
outside of the acceptable range.
Requirement: The meter must be verified with a third calibration standard (e.g., pH 7 buffer). The
standard must read within a range of pH 6.9 to 7.1 to be acceptable. Ref: Technical Assistance for
Field Analysis of pH, Rev. 11/2008.
Comment: The analyst has done a good job of attempting to resolve this problem. Fresh buffers
were used and the pH probe was replaced; however the problem was not resolved. It appears that
the meter needs to be replaced. Recommendations were made for a replacement meter that would
meet North Carolina Wastewater/Groundwater Laboratory Certification (NC WW/GW LC)
requirements. The following requirements must be performed on the new meter before it is put in
use.

IV.
Page 2
#5050 Highland Falls Country Club
Requirement: All thermometers and temperature measuring devices must be checked every
twelve months against a NIST certified or NIST traceable thermometer and the process
documented even if the instrument is not used for reporting temperature results. To check a
thermometer or the temperature sensor of a meter, read the temperature of the
thermometer/meter against a NIST certified or NIST traceable thermometer and record the two
temperatures. The thermometer/meter readings must be less than or equal to 1 °C from the NIST
certified or NIST traceable thermometer reading. The documentation must include the serial
number of the NIST certified thermometer or NIST traceable thermometer that was used in the
comparison. Also document any correction that applies on both the thermometer/meter and on a
separate sheet to be filed. Ref: Technical Assistance for Field Analysis of pH, Rev. 11/2008.
Please submit a copy of the temperature measuring device verification for the new pH
meter with your reply.
Requirement: The Automatic Temperature Compensator (ATC) must be verified annually (i.e.,
every twelve months) by analyzing a ,buffer at 25 °C (the temperature that pH values are
compensated to) and a temperature(s) that bracket the temperature ranges of the samples to be
analyzed. This may require the analysis of a third temperature reading that is > 25 'C. As the
temperature increases or decreases, the value of the buffer must be within ± 0.1 S.U. of the true
value of the buffer. Ref: North Carolina Wastewater/Groundwater Laboratory Certification (NC
WW/GW LC) Policy Statement 09/17/2008. Please submit a copy of the ATC verification for
the new meter with your reply.
Comment: Anticipated temperatures can be obtained from a review of_the Discharge Monitoring
Reports (DMks) from the peak summer and winter months. Historical data should provide a
reasonably accurate estimation of ranges that will bracket the expected sample temperatures.
PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION:
The paper trail consisted of comparing field testing records and contract lab reports to Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. Data were
reviewed for January, February, and April, 2008. No transcription errors were detected. The facility
appears to be doing a good job of accurately transcribing data.
V. CONCLUSIONS:
Correcting the above -cited finding will help this lab
requirements. The inspector would like to thank the
data review process. Please respond to all findings.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be
representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is
not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period
of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with
the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow
measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or
Version 1110912011

'DES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 18
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a
constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be
used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab
samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling
period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also
"Composite Sample," above.)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations
prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that
requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWQ or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Effluent
Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source
whether treated or untreated.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission
EPA
The United States Environmental Protection Agency
Facility Closure
Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this
permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
