Per current policy, existing limits should be renewed (with the
exception of NH3-N and Fecal coliform). USGS 1986 flows indicate that the
discharge is to a 0.0 7Q10 stream with a positive 30Q2 (so that the zero
flow policy cannot be implemented). IrAstream data do not indicate a D.O.

Chalet Motor Lodge is a seasonal discharger. Only one violation (Fecal
coli) has been reported within the past year.
If there have been any complaints regarding this discharger, since both
summer and winter 7Q10 is zero, please note.
Chlorine levels are elevated, so chlorine letter will be sent to
facility.

CHRONIC TOXICITY TESTING REQUIREMENT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity tests,
using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant moftality is .9.9__96 (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure
document). I*e permit holder shall perform jjua=_rjy monitoring using this procedure to establish
compliance with the permit condition. The. fast test will be performed after thirty days from
issuance of permit during the months of . Effluent
sampling for testing shaill be performed at the NPD5S permitted final effluent discharge below
all treatment processes.
All toxicity tie

results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
ing Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
Idonally, DEM Form AT-1(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in -association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the 'effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of Ithe waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly .
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to die receiving stream, this
permit may be e-opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NQTE: FailurF to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organis�n survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute ail invalid test
and will requir immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit. .
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

Little Switzerland, North
Dear Mr. Jen en:
Larch 7, 1991
Carolina 28749
Subject: Effluent Limitations
The Chalet Motor Lodge
McDowell County
The Asheville Regional Office recently received the effluent
limitations proposed for the Chalet Motor Lodge's new wastewater
discharge permit. The new fecal coliform limitation differs from the
existing, an an ammonia (or toxicity) limitation is proposed as
follows:
Parameter Existing iAmitation _ Proposed Limitation
Fecal C41iform 1000 organisms/ICO ml 200 organisms/100 ml
Ammonia Nitrogen no emit
(or Toxicity) no limit
1.0 mg/l
Pass 99%
The proposed fecal coliform limit modification is due to a more
restrictive ater quality standard which became effective on October
1, 1989. I the renewal wastewater permit, the Chalet would have a
choice of th 1.0 mg/l ammonia limitation., or alternatively, a chronic
toxicity limitation of "pass 99%". The ammonia/toxicity limitation is
proposed as a result of the Environmental Protection Agency's having
required the State of North Carolina to address the issue of instream
ammonia toxicity.
The Chalet Motor Lodge should evaluate their existing
disinfection equipment to determine if it will allow the the facility
to meet the 'more restrictive fecal limitation when the new permit
becomes effective. Due to ".ow flow ii the recieving stream,
dechlorinatidn will likely be required. Review of the Chalet's
monitoring data reveals inability to meet the proposed 1.0 mg/1

ammonia limitation. Also the likelihood of meeting a chronic toxicity
of 99% is remote. Additional wastewater treatment, outfall
relocation, or installation of a non -discharge alternative may be
required. P ease have your engineer or contract: operator call me to
discuss mean and a schedule to achieve compliance with newly proposed
treatment re irements.
Thank you for your attention. If there are questions, contact me
at telephoneinumber 704-251-6208.
Sincerely,
James R. Reid.
