Permit NC0051381
A. (2.) TEMPORARY MEANS OF DISINFECTION
In the event that the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system
should fail, underperform, or otherwise be removed from effective service, the permittee or
his agent should immediately inform the Surface Water Protection Section staff of the
Asheville Regional Office of this development and discuss temporary, alternate means for
disinfection of the effluent.
If chlorine compounds are used as temporary means of disinfection, the total residual
chlorine (TRC) concentration of the effluent must be monitored on a daily basis while this
method of disinfection is in use and values must be reported on the discharge monitoring
report. TRC in the effluent may not exceed 28 µg/L; therefore, dechiorination methods may
also be necessary to ensure protection of water quality in the receiving stream.
In the event that TRC monitoring should occur, the Division shall consider all effluent TRC
values reported below 50 pg/L to be in compliance with the permit. However, the Permittee
shall continue to record and submit all values reported by a North Carolina certified.
laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall below 50 pg/L.
Use of a disinfection system other than the permitted UV system during circumstances not
deemed as emergency and/or temporary (replacement of lamps, lamp cleaning or
maintenance, etc.) will be considered a violation of the terms of this permit.
A. (3.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[NCGS 143-215.1 (b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs)
and program reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became
effective on December 21, 2015.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part
II of this permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports

The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) intemet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each
month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted
facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the Internet.

ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due
to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the
households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic
reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted
on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1,2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director.
Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See "How to
Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
Regardless of the submission method, 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.
Starting on December 21, 2020, the permittee must electronically report the following
compliance monitoring data and reports, when applicable:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
• Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and
• Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports,
The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to
Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below).
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient
at the time of each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website
resources to identify the initial recipient for the electronic submission.
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means
the entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is
the designated entity for receiving electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting
tool for each type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access
and use the appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on
EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule is found at:

section above.
How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To
obtain an electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic
reporting waiver request to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting
waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty
(60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin
submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not
exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports
shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is
granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic
reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting
waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the
period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective.
Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are
found on the following web page:

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Highlands Falls Community Association for the month of
September 2012. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge
limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0051381. The violations
which occurred in September 2012 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Highlands Falls Community
Association violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO051381 and G.S.
143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the

person who violates the terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-
215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into

(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage; .

(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:

1617 Mail Service,Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

2. Submit a wri ten request for remission or;mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please_
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:

(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will. prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In. order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural

Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such. request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:

(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282. I (b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director, of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.

of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form

A. (2.) TEMPORARY MEANS OF DISINFECTION
In the event that the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system should fail,
underperform, or otherwise be removed from effective service, the permittee or his agent should
immediately inform the Surface Water Protection Section staff of the Asheville Regional Office of this
development and discuss temporary, alternate means for disinfection of the effluent.
If chlorine compounds are used as temporary means of disinfection, the total residual chlorine (TRC)
concentration of the effluent must be monitored on a daily basis while this method of disinfection is in
use and values must be reported on the discharge monitoring report. TRC in the effluent may not
exceed 28 µg/L; therefore, dechlorination methods may also be necessary to ensure protection of water
quality in the receiving stream.
In the event that TRC monitoring should occur, the Division shall consider all effluent TRC values
reported below 50 µg/L to be in compliance with the permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to
record and submit all values reported by a North Carolina certified laboratory (including field
certified), even if these values fall below 50 µg/L.
Use of a disinfection system other than the permitted UV system during circumstances not deemed as
emergency and/or temporary (replacement of lamps, lamp cleaning or maintenance, etc.) will be
considered a violation of the terms of this permit.

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 arithinetic 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 facilityincluding 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 nonnal 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 pennit. Completion of facility closure will allow this
permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml, collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Version 1110912011

[PDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 3 of 18
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA.
Instantaneous flow measurement
The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in
that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab
samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge
during that sampling period.
Monthly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal
coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
Quarterly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter.
Severe property damage
Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or
substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production.

307(b), (c) or (d) of the CWA. [40 CFR 403.3 (i) and 0) and 15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(11)]
Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization.
This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T
.0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government
organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges
to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW
treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of
POTW maybe referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)]
"Significant Industrial User" or "SIU"
An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(33)]:
L. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary,
noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the
POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and
conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a
Significant Industrial User (SIU); or
6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a
non -significant categorical Industrial User.
Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs)
Version 1110912011

?DES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 15 of 18
All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]:

DOSING CYCLE
SOLIDS LADEN WATER FLOWS BY GRAVITY FROM THE TREATMENT
PLANT THROUGH THE DOSING LINE AND IS DISCHARGED NEAR THE
TOP OF THE FILTER. IT THEN FLOWS BY GRAVITY DOWN THROUGH
THE ANTHRACITE AND SAND MEDIA. THE FLITATE IS COLLECTED
BY AN UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM AND DISCHARGED OUT OF THE FILTER
CELL AND INTO THE BACKWASH TANK. ONCE THE BACKWASH TANK
IS FULL THE EXCESS FILTRATE -OVERFLOWS INTO THE EFLUENT
POND OR INTO THE RECEIVING RIVER.
BACKWASH CYCLE
ONCE EVERY TWENTY FOUR HOURS OR WHEN THE FILTER CLOGS
THE MEDIA MUST BE WASHED FREE OF ITS ENTRAPPED SOLIDS.
THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY REVERSING THE FLOW THROUGH THE
FILTER BED. BACKWASH IS INITIATED EITHER BY A TWENTY
FOUR HOUR TIME CLOCK OR AN EMERGENCY FLOAT SWITCH IN
THE FILTER CELL, CLEAN WATER IS PUMPED FROM THE BACKWASH
TANK INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE FILTER CELL WHERE IT IS
DISTRIBUTED OVER THE FILTER BOTTOM CROSS SECTION BY THE
UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM, THE WATER EXPANDS AND AGITATES THE
FILTER MEDIA BREAKING LOOSE THE ENTRAPPED SOLIDS AND
CARRYING THEM UP THRU THE TOP OF THE ACCELERATOR CONE
INTO THE BACKWASH WATER COLLECTION AREA IN THE TOP OF
THE FILTER CELL. FROM THE COLLECTION AREA THE BACKWASH
WATER WITH ITS LOAD OF SOLIDS IS DISCHARGED INTO THE
BACKWASH HOLDING TANK. THE RISING WATER LEVEL IN THE
BACKWASH HOLDING TANK WILL TRIP A MERCURY FLOAT SWITCH
WHICH WILL START THE BACHWASH HOLDING PUMP. THE BACKWASH
HOLDING PUMP WILL RETURN THE BACKWASH WATER BACK TO
THE TREATMENT PLANT INFLUENT RATE, THE BACKWASH HOLDING
PUMP WILL CONTINUE TO RUN UNTIL THE TANK IS EMPTIED AND
THE MERCURY FLOAT SWITCH SIGNALS FOR THE PUMP TO STOP.
GENERAL
ALL OPERATIONS OF THE FILTER SYSTEM ARE COMPLETELY
AUTOMATIC.
SINCE -THE -INFLUENT --AND EFFLUENT OF THE FILTER SYSTEM
ARE BY GRAVITY, THE ENGINEER SHOULD CAREFULLY CHECK
THE HYDRAULIC PROFILE OF THE COMPLETE SYSTEM BEFORE
BEGINNING ANY CONSTRUCTION.
THE FILTER SYSTEM, AS SHOWN PER THIS DRAWING, SHIPS
AS AN ASSEMBLED PRE -WIRED UNIT.
NOTE, ERECTOR
MEDIA IS TO BE INSTALLED BY THE ERECTOR ACCORDING TO

Permits & Engineering Comments:
There have been no facility modifications since the last renewal. It is unclear why this facility's
permit expires in March of 1997. This expiration date is not consistent with the basinwide renewal
schedule. The permit renewal was drafted with the expiration date J March, 31, 2002.
The permit renewal application was received on August 30,1996. A formal sludge disposal plan was.not
received with the renewal package. I contacted the facility on February 10, 1997 to request this
information. The facility sent in a fax stating that they have a contract with Lee's Septic Tank and
B&B Concrete to remove accumulated sludge from the facility.
i
It is recommended that th-rmit be renewed as drafted.

2. The effluent pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units and shall not exceed 9.0 standard units.
3. The Permittee shall submit discharge monitoring reports electronically using the Division's
eDMR system.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.
See Condition A. (2.) for instructions should the facility's permitted UV system fail and an
alternate means of disinfection is required. Total Residual Chlorine monitoring
requirements and limits are applicable if chlorine compounds are used for disinfection.
Page 3 of 7

Permit NCO051381
A. (2.) TEMPORARY MEANS OF DISINFECTION
In the event that the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system
should fail, underperform, or otherwise be removed from effective service, the permittee or
his agent should immediately inform the Surface Water Protection Section staff of the
Asheville Regional Office of this development and discuss temporary, alternate means for
disinfection of the effluent.
If chlorine compounds are used as temporary means of disinfection, the total residual
chlorine (TRC) concentration of the effluent must be monitored on a daily basis while this
method of disinfection is in use and values must be reported on the discharge monitoring
report. TRC in the effluent may not exceed 28 µg/L; therefore, dechlorination methods may
also be necessary to ensure protection of water quality in the receiving stream.
In the event that TRC monitoring should occur, the Division shall consider all effluent TRC
values reported below 50 -pg/L to be in compliance with the permit. However, the Permittee
shall continue to record and submit all values reported by a North Carolina certified.
laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall below 50 ug/L.
Use of a disinfection system other than the permitted UV system during circumstances not
deemed as emergency and/or temporary (replacement of lamps, lamp cleaning or
maintenance, etc.) will be considered a violation of the terms of this permit.
A. (3.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING: REPORTS
[NCGS 143-215.1 (b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs)
and program reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became
effective on December 21, 2015.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part
II of this permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting Requirements [Supersedes Section D. (2.1 and Section E. (5.) (a)1
The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each
month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted
facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet.
Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media
Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all
discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to
Page 4 of 7

Permit NCO051381
complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original
and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DENR / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due
to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the
households have broadband access, then, a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic
reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted
on paper DMR forms (MR 1, L 1,.2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director.
Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See "How to
Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
Regardless of the submission method, 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.
Starting on December 21, 2020, the permittee must electronically report the following
compliance monitoring data and reports, when applicable:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
• Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and
• Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports.
The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to
Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below).
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1) (9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient
at the time of each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website
resources to identify the initial recipient for the electronic submission.
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means
the entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is
the designated entity for receiving electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting
tool for each type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access
and use the appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on
EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule is found at:
https: / /www.federalregister. gov/ documents / 2015 / 10 / 22 / 2015-24954 /national-pollutant-
discharge-elimination-system-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule
Page 5 of 7

Permit NC0051381
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements"
section above.
How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To
obtain an electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic
reporting waiver request to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting
waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty
(60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin
submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not
exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports
shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is
granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic
reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting
waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the
period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective.
Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are
found on the following web page:
htt-p://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/­water-resources/edmr
3. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b)_ and Supersedes Section B.
(11.1 (d)] -
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person
described in Part II, Section B. (11.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that
person as described in Part II, Section B. (11.)(b). A person, and not a position, must be
delegated signatory authority for eDMR reporting purposes.
For eDMR submissions, the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an
eDMR user account and login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more
information on North Carolina's eDMR system, registering for eDMR and obtaining an
eDMR user account, please visit the following web page:
http: / /deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr

responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my
knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant
penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fines and
imprisonment for knowing violations."

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The operator is using the old plant as a digester which expands the treatment capacity of the main
plant and reduces the overall operating cost of processing sludge. The majority of the facility is under
roof which extends the life of the equipment and reduces freezing during the winter. This facility
appears to be extremely well operated and maintained and Brook trout were observed in the receiving
stream directly below the outfall.
No violations of permit requirements or applicable regulations were observed during this inspection.

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

The Highlands Falls Community Association is pleased to be a part of this on -going

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 leiPDES
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.

Preface
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 report is' designed to meet the minimum requirements for the Annual Performance Report
established by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR) as set forth in the guidance document dated October 19, 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.

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
(UV) 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-III 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.
Facilities Served - The larger facility and the sewer collection system serve Section 11 of
the development. The small sand filter unit serves the halfway house at #5 fairway.

TES-2-5 FILTER SYSTEM
DOSING CYCLE
SOLIDS, LADEN WATER FLOWS BY GRAVITY FROM THE TREATMENT
PLANT THROUGH THE DOSING LINE AND IS DISCHARGED NEAR THE
TOP OF THE FILTER. IT THEN FLOWS BY GRAVITY DOWN THROUGH
THE ANTHRACITE AND SAND MEDIA. THE FLITATE IS COLLECTED
BY AN UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM AND DISCHARGED OUT OF THE FILTER
CELL AND INTO THE BACKWASH _TANK. ONCE THE BACKWASH TANK
IS FULL THE EXCESS FILTRATE OVERFLOWS .INTO THE EFLUENT
POND. OR INTO THE RECEIVING RIVER.
BACKWASH CYCLE
ONCE EVERY TWENTY FOUR.HOURS OR WHEN THE FILTER CLOGS
THE MEDIA MUST BE WASHED FREE OF ITS ENTRAPPED SOLIDS.
THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY REVERSING THE FLOW THROUGH THE
FILTER BED, BACKWASH IS INITIATED EITHER. BY A TWENTY
FOUR HOUR TIME CLOCK OR AN EMERGENCY FLOAT SWITCH IN
THE FILTER CELL. CLEAN WATER IS PUMPED FROM THE BACKWASH
TANK INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE FILTER CELL WHERE .IT 1S
DISTRIBUTED OVER, THE FILTER BOTTOM CROSS SECTION BY THE
UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM. THE WATER EXPANDS AND AGITATES THE
FILTER MEDIA BREAKING LOOSE THE ENTRAPPED SOLIDS AND
