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.

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 1110912011.1

PDES 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

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).

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).

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

French Broad River. The Division can therefore expedite renewal of permits in the French Broad River
Basin whose operations have not changed since the last permit renewal.
Please note that in 2009, the entire Big Laurel Creek watershed was reclassified to. Outstanding
Resource Waters (ORW). , This ORW stream classification does not allow for any new wastewater
discharges or expansions of existing wastewater discharges, in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0225.
Also, please note that 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. °
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in late -August, with an effective

Hi Maureen,
I met with the operator, Randy Joseph and.did a sampling inspection at these two schools on June 8, 2010.
Everything looks good. Attached are those inspection reports.
Here's what I would change:
> Laurel School: WWTP location: 4100 Hwy 212, north of White Rock
Supplement to permit cover page: see attachment
Continue to operate ... 0.005 MGD extended aeration WWTP with: a grease trap; manual bar screen; aeration
basin with blower providing diffused air, and
clarifier with skimmer and sludge return.
(Note: There is no disinfection required due to IWC & stream dilution. There is no digestor present).
> Madison Middle School
Supplement to permit cover page: see attachment
Continue to operate ... 0.009 MGD wastewater treatment system with: a 1,000 gallon grease trap for each
school; 10,300 gallon septic tank; 3,000 gallon
settling tank with two 15-inch pvc biotube effluent filters; 10,000 gallon recirculation tank with dual 1
HP (80 gpm) pumps; 50' x 51' (^2500 sq ft)
recirculating sand filter (ratio 1:1) with low pressure pipe (LPP) distribution lines & 4-inch
recirculation line to the settling (pump) tank; electro-
mechanical timer; tablet chlorinator; chlorine contact tank; Stevens Model 61R recording flow meter;
manhole with tablet dechlorinator and tank;
effluent discharge pipe with flap valve.
I feel that everything else in the attached documents is accurate.
ARO recommends renewal of these permits.

Is this email sufficient?
Thanks,
Wanda

I conducted an inspection on October 25, 2017 at the Laurel Elementary WWTP. I met with Joe Davis
and he explained the work he had done to shut down the plant and shut off water to the buildings. I
could see that the influent to the plant had stopped and Joe said he would plug the influent line as a
final measure. After the influent line is plugged, you can then request suspension of monitoring for the
facility. To request suspension of monitoring, please contact Charles Weaver at 919-807-6391 or

On 10/25/2017, I (Daniel Boss) conducted an inspection at Laurel Elementary WWTP. I met with Joe
Davis, head of maintenance for Madison schools. The school is shutdown and the water is shut off at
both buildings that connect to the WWTP. The plant is completely empty except for some rainwater.
could see that the influent line was dry, so it seems all sewer discharges have stopped. Joe said that
he would put a plug in the influent line and send me a photo, when that is done. There are covers over
the plant's basins to prevent rainwater from filling them. The plant appears ready for suspension of
monitoring.

(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 Water Resources 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

In addition, the issues below must also be addressed:
Pumping out all waste from your system without any treatment is only permissible with a Pump and Haul permit.
Pump and Haul is not intended to be a permanent method of waste treatment. A Pump and Haul permit is
generally issued for a 6-month time period. Please submit your application (which you will find enclosed with
this report) as soon as possible.
• Submit a- plan for a permanent solution to operate compliant with permit NCO034207 or close and remove the
facility to eliminate the discharge. An engineering evaluation of existing conditions and proposed changes shall
be included as necessary.
A Notice of Violation/Intent to Issue Civil Penalty is being issued for the noted violation of North Carolina General
Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1 and the facility's NPDES Permit. Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A, a civil penalty of not i
more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) may be assessed against any person who violates or fails
to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements .of any permit issued pursuant to G.S.
143-215.1.
If you wish to provide additional information regarding the noted violation, request technical assistance, or
discuss overall compliance please respond in writing within ten (10) business days after receipt of this Notice. A

violations. If no response is received in this Office within the 10-day period, a civil penalty
assessment may be prepared.
Remedial actions should have already been taken to correct this problem and prevent further occurrences in the
future. The Division of Water Resources may pursue enforcement action for this and any additional violations of
State law.
Reminder: Pursuant to Permit Condition 6 in Section E, the Permittee is required to verbally notify the Regional

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
(Dan Boss) conducted a follow up inspection at Laurel Elemientary School on 2/14/2017. Randy
Joseph (ORC) was present for the inspection. Randy said that the gravel had not been removed from
the aeration tank as was requested at the last inspection on 12/14/2015. Randy said he has been
pumping the tanks down as they fill up (about once every 3 months). This is not a permittable method
of treating wastewater long term, and requires a pump and haul permit even in temporary or
emergency circumstances.
When I arrived on site, the effluent pipe had a small discharge coming from it and the wastewater tanks
were completely full. There was a strong smell of sewage and some solids floating at the surface.
Randy believed that the tanks filled up from rain water, but there had been little rain in the period since
he had last visited on 1/26/2017. The water to the school is shut off, but there is another building on the
property that is still being used 4 days per week as the Shelton Laurel Nutrition Site for Madison
County. Randy was unsure if that building was connected to the same wastewater system as the
elementary school or if it had it's own septic tank and drainfield. I spoke with Joe Davis on 2/15/2017i
and he confirmed that the Shelton Laurel Nutrition Site's sewer is connected to the Laurel Elementary
School WWTP. Consequently this plant needs to be restarted to properly treat this wastewater. The
aeration basin will first need to have the sand/gravel removed before the system is restarted.

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE / EFFLUENT / SUMMARY:
The grease trap had been pumped (twice a year).
Excess solids had been wasted and pumped from -the plant (December 2010).
The area around the WWTP, inside the fence, had been maintained.
The rusted grates over the aeration basin had been replaced.
A new mailbox (for the logbook) had been installed.
A ventilated metal shelf had been mounted on the inside of the fence to sit field testing
equipment.
Mr. Richard Paxton, Maintenance Supervisor, and Mr. Randy Joseph, ORC, assisted in the
inspection and appear to be operating .and maintaining the.facility very well.
EFFLUENT:
The effluent data was as follows:
Dissolved Oxygen = 2.6 mg/I
pH = 6.97 units
Temperature = 9.8 degrees Celsius
The effluent was very clear and appeared to be in compliance with permit limits.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ANNUAL REPORT (SPAR):
The July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010 System Performance Annual Report was received by the Division
on July 14, 2010.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
In 2009, the entire Big Laurel Creek watershed (which includes the stream that the Laurel School
discharges into) was reclassified to Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW)..,
The Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) supplemental classification is intended to protect unique
and special waters having excellent water quality and being of exceptional state or national
ecological or recreational significance. To qualify, waters must be rated Excellent by DWQ,.and
have one of the following outstanding resource values:
Page # 3

Permit: NCO034207 Owner - Facility: Laurel Elementary School WWTP
Inspection Date: 02/18/2011 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
1. Outstanding fish habitat or fisheries,
2. Unusually high level of water based recreation or potential for such kind of
recreation,
3. Some special designation such as N.C.Scenic / Natural River, or National Wildlife
Refuge,
4. Important component of state or national park or forest; or
5. Special ecological or scientific significance (rare or endangered species habitat,
research or educational areas.)
All ORWs are High Quality Waters (HQW) by supplemental classification.
MOTOR AND BLOWER NEEDED:
Although no changes were made in your NPDES permit (renewed in 2010), it is requested that an
additional motor and blower be added at the wastewater treatment plant.
There is currently only one motor and blower at the WWTP. Another motor and would provide
additional protection of these Outstanding Resource Waters, allowing the WWTP to operate
in the event that the existing motor and blower fail.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION:
The Madison County Board of Education - Laurel Elementary School isa class II WWTP rated as a
0.005 MGD extended aeration facility with: a grease trap; manual bar screen; aeration basin with
one blower providing diffused air; and clarifier with skimmer and sludge return; (no
disinfection required due to IWC &'stream dilution).
PERMIT / INSPECTION / LOG:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
4-8-2009 by Wanda Frazier.
The permit expires on 9-30-2010. Your renewal request was received by the Division on March 19,
.2010. -
The daily operator log was present on -site and had good notation of daily events, process
control and field testing data.
TREATMENT UNITS / PROCESS CONTROL TESTING DATA:
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature = 22.9 degrees Celsius
pH = 7.2 units
Dissolved Oxygen 2.38 mg/I
Settleable Solids = 600 ml/I = 60%
Note:- The WWTP was pumped in March '2010.
The plans are to leave the MLSS as is, until just before school restarts in
August. At that time, the ORC will determine whether the plant needs reseeding.
EFFLUENT:
The effluent data was as follows:
Dissolved Oxygen ='1.07 mg/1-
pH = 7.21 units
Temperature = 22.9 degrees Celsius
Page # 2-

Permit: NCO034207 Owner - Facility: Laurel Elementary School WWTP
Inspection Date: 06/08/2010 Inspection Type: Compliance Sampling
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE / EFFLUENT / SUMMARY:
Mr. Randy Joseph, ORC, assisted in the inspection and appears to be operating the facility well.
The effluent appeared to be in compliance with permit limits.
Samples were taken on the day of the inspection. The results were as follows:
BOD = 22 mg/I
TSS = 9 mg/I
fecal coliform = (not required to disinfect or monitor)
MAINTENANCE AND HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS NEEDING ATTENTION:
Richard Paxton, Maintenance Supervisor:
> The grease trap should be pumped (when the Middle School and Brush Creek Schools are pumped).
> The weeds and grass needs to be removed and mowing maintained inside the fenced area.
> The rusted grate over the aeration basin (over the pipe) is rusted and needs to be replaced.
> The mailbox (logbook receptacle) needs to be replaced, as the door hinge is rusted through.
> A shelf needs to be mounted on the inside of the fence where the mailbox is, to hold field
testing equipment that is used daily. It should be mounted about waist to chest high. The
shelf size should be approximately 4 feet long by 10-12 inches deep. It should be sturdy enough
to hold 3 cases of field testing equipment.
PLEASE NOTIFY THIS OFFICE AS THESE ITEMS ARE COMPLETED.
(@ Telephone: [phone] Wanda Frazier)

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Randy Joseph/ORC assisted in the inspection of this facility
The previous compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on September 7, 2006, by James Reid and
Starr Silvis.
A review of the files indicates that the permit expires September 30, 2010.
The aeration basin process control data on the day.of the inspection:
Dissolved Oxygen = 1.5 mg/I
Temperature = 12.5 degrees Celcius
The effluent data on the day of the inspection:
Dissolved Oxygen = 0.3 mg/I
Temperature = 12.5 degrees Celcius
pH=7.4units
The.effluent was clear.
This facility appears to be well operated and the operator is doing a good
job.
The operator mentioned that on occasion chemicals from maintenance in the school have been flushed into
the wastewater treatment plant. This has destroyed the bacteria necessary for proper operation and has
required re -seeding with fresh sludge from another plant into this plant. Please advise the maintenance
staff to be attentive to proper disposal of chemicals used in cleaning, etc.
It was also noted that the fence surrounding the facility has not been replaced. The heavy doors, which
were installed to protect the plant from flooding, are not easily or safely opened for the operation of this
plant. Please secure the facility and the blower motor.

Comment:
It was noted that the fence, washed out several years ago from flooding, has not been
replaced. Heavy doors were installed over the plant for protection, but are too heavy to
safely access to perform operational and maintenance tasks.

Operator was uncertain of the units of measurement displayed by the new flow meter (on the water system)
that had been installed since DWQ's inspection of January 13, 2006.
Dissolved oxygen and mixing in the aeration basin were insufficient despite the aerators being on nearly
continuously. Dissolved oxygen in the basin was 0.07 mg/I, Low dissolved oxygen and inadequate mixing
likely resulted in high effluent BOD measured during the previous inspection. Removal of the diffusers for
visual inspection and evaluatin of the aeration system is needed. THE OPERATOR MUST HAVE A
DISSOLVED OXYGEN METER FOR PROPER, CONSISTENT OPERATION OF THE FACILITY.

Mr. Edwards:
I am in receipt of your letter dated September 7, 2006 regarding Notice of Violation for Laurel
Elementary School. As requested, this letter addresses causes and preventive actions.
The causes of non-compliance were an insufficient number of air drops.
As a result of your last inspection, we will:
1. purchase an oxygen meter for operator
2. have our custodian monitor the running of the oxygenator pump
3. install more pipe for better distribVtion of the air (air drops)
We will work on this system immediately.
Respectfully,

County Maintenance Department directed the wastewater from that facility into
Madison Co. Schools' treatment plant. We have calculated approximately 30
"gallons/5-days per week, enters the treatment plant from the Meal Site, not
enough to properly operate the. treatment plant without additional water being
added.
Madison County Schools was not aware it was a violation to pump the sewer
gwithout a permit. All wastewater was collected by Mike's Septic Tank Service, -
Mike Lusk Jr., owner, license no. 00027, and was discharged into a sewer
treatment system designed and permitted to accept the wastewater.
The wastewater was pumped and hauled on the following dates and locations:

Subject: Proposal to dispose of wastewater
r
Dear Mayor Harrison:
The Madison County Schools Maintenance
Department seeks permission to empty 500 - 1000
gallons of wastewater into the sewer plant in Hot
Springs. This wastewater is located at the Laurel
Elementary School, (which is currently closed), and
comes mainly from the -Community Center located
next door to the Laurel Elem. School.
After speaking to Mr. Randy Joseph who does the
water and wastewater testing for the MCS system,
500 - 1000 gallons per month will have little if any
impact on the 80,000 gallon per day sewer plant.
The Madison County Schools Maintenance Dept.
will haul this wastewater in a tank /trailer with
Randy Joseph present to supervise.

We respectfully submit this proposal and await
your decision. Please contact Joe Davis, MCS
Maintenance Dept. Director at 649-2434/206-1062
with your decision or for further information.
With Kindest regards,

Operations & Maintenance Plant is not being run, only pumped out as tanks fill up. Aeration basin is still 1/2 filled with
Part H. Section C.2 - solids despite receiving a NOV about this issue from our office on 12/15/2015. The Permittee shall atall
times provide the operation and maintenance resources necessary to operate the existing facility at
optimum efficiency.
