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 l
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 4251, 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 Dav
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
Version 712009

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 18
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
(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. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
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).

'Covered by parenr numbers 5,492,635 and 4,439,323
Standard Features & Benefits
--The only large, commercial -size effluent
filter available
--Removes about two-thirds of suspended
solids, on average.
--Flow control discharge orifices to limit
flow rate leaving tank
• Extendible cartridge handle, simplifies
filter inspection
• Easy to clean by simply hosing off filter
cartridge
--Corrosion-proof construction, to ensure
long life
Optional Features- & Benefits
• Alarm available, to signal the need for
cleaning
• Slide Rail System available, simplifying
service procedures and providing addi-
tional tank access
• Multiple filters may be used to accom-
modate larger flows
Biotube Filtering Process
Effluent from the relatively clear zone of
the septic tank, between the scum and
sludge layers, horizontally enters the
Biotube Effluent Filter through inlet
holes in the housing. Effluent then enters
the annular space between the housing
and the Biotubes, utilizing the Biotubes'
entire surface for filtering. Particles larger
than the Biotube's mesh are prevented
from leaving the tank.

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

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.

PART IV
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR MUNICIPAL FACILITIES
Section A. Definitions
In addition to the definitions in Part H of this permit, the following definitions apply to municipal facilities:
Indirect Discharge or Industrial User
Any non -domestic source that discharges wastewater containing pollutants into a POTW regulated under section
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 may be 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)]:
1. 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 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 15 of 18
All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]:
1. Any new introduction of pollutants into the POTW from an indirect discharger, regardless of the means of
transport, which would be subject to section 301 or 306 of CWA if it were directly discharging those pollutants;
and
2. Any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants being introduced by an indirect discharger as
influent to that POTW at the time of issuance of the permit.
3. For purposes of this paragraph, adequate notice shall include information on (1) the quality and quantity of effluent
introduced into the POTW, and (2) any anticipated impact that may result from the change of the quantity or
quality of effluent to be discharged from the POTW.
Section C. Municipal Control of Pollutants from Industrial Users.
1. Effluent limitations are listed in Part I of this permit. Other pollutants attributable to inputs from Industrial Users
discharging to the POTW may be present in the Permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information
becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be revised to specify effluent
limitations for any or all of such other pollutants in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality
standards.
2. Prohibited Discharges
a. The Permittee shall develop and enforce their Pretreatment Program to implement the prohibition against the
introduction of pollutants or discharges into the waste treatment system or waste collection system which
cause or contribute to Pass Through or Interference as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .0900 and 40 CFR 403. [40
CFR 403.5(a)(1)]
b. The Permittee shall develop and enforce their Pretreatment Program to implement the prohibitions against the
introduction of the following wastes in the waste treatment or waste collection system [40 CFR 403.5(b)]:

wastestreams with a closed cup flashpoint of less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 degrees Centigrade
using the test methods specified in 40 CFR 261.21;
(2) Pollutants which cause corrosive structural damage to the POTW, but in no case discharges with pH lower
than 5.0, unless the works is specifically designed to accommodate such discharges;
(3) Solid or viscous pollutants in amounts which cause obstruction to the flow, in the POTW resulting in
Interference;
(4) Any pollutant, including oxygen demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.) released in a Discharge at a flow rate
and/or pollutant concentration which will cause Interference with the POTW;
(5) Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the POTW resulting in Interference, but in no
case heat in such quantities that the temperature at the POTW Treatment Plant exceeds 40°C (104°F)
unless the Division, upon request of the POTW, approves alternate temperature limits;
(6) Petroleum oil, non -biodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin in amounts that will cause
Interference or Pass Through;
(7) Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapors, or fumes within the POTW in a quantity that
may cause acute worker health and safety problems; or
(8) Any trucked or hauled pollutants, except at discharge points designated by the POTW.
c. The Permittee shall investigate the source of all discharges into the POTW, including slug loads and other
unusual discharges, which have the potential to adversely impact the Permittee's Pretreatment Program and/or
the operation of the POTW.
The Permittee shall report such discharges into the POTW to the Director or the appropriate kegional Office.
Any information shall be provided orally within 24 hours from the time the Permittee became aware of the
circumstances. A written submission shall also be provided within 5 days of the time the Permittee becomes
aware of the circumstances. The written submission shall contain a description of the discharge; the
investigation into possible sources; the period of the discharge, including exact dates and times; if the

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional -sheets of narrative and checklists. as necessary)
Tim Heim of the Asheville Regional Office performed the Compliance Evaluation Inspection on
December 9th, 2015. ORC Randy Joseph and Madison. Country Maintenance Director Joe Davis were
present during the inspection.
The system appears well maintained and operated.
In 2012, maintenance staff discovered that the septic tank access manhole did not allow removal of
solids, -and solids hadbeen accumulating -in the tank since.its construction. A new manhole was .
installed and existing solids were, removed. Thetank is now pumped approximately once per year. Staff_
i report a signifcant reduction in solids entering the other components of the plant and improved
operation after this occurred.
New filter bedsand, new filter bed distribution pipes and a new dosing pump were also installed in
2012.

Permit: NCO080659 Owner - Facility: Madison County Middle School WWTP
Inspection Date: 02/18/2011 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
The daily operator log was present and had good notation of daily events and field testing data.
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE / EFFLUENT / SUMMARY:
TANKS:
Both of the 1,000 gallon grease traps had been pumped.
The septic tank and settling tank had been pumped.
The two biotube filter cartridges had been cleaned.
SAND FILTER:
The sand was replaced in the sand filter beds in November 2009.
The sludge contaminated sand had been removed from the top layer of the sand filter bed.
The sand filter beds had been cleaned, re -leveled with new replacement sand, raked and were free
of vegetation.
The sand sludge and vegetation was removed and double bagged in trash bags in preparation for
transfer to the Madison County Landfill transfer station.
This waste was previously tested for TCLP parameters and cleared for disposal.
The Madison County landfill (Jim Huff 649-2311) transfers this "special waste" for
ultimate disposal in Tennessee.
Some of the perforated pvc laterals had been replaced, so that there were no flow restrictions.
All of the laterals were level, flowing freely and evenly distributing the flow across the
surface of the entire sand filter bed.
DISINFECTION:
The chlorine contact tank had been pumped. There were no accumulated solids or debris in the
chlorinator and dechlorinator vaults.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
The effluent flows are currently based on the potable water meter readings.
The maintenance staff are in the process of replacing the old Stevens 61 R flow meter with a new
Eastech Vantage 2210 Ultrasonic flow meter with data port capable of electronically downloading
flow data.
EFFLUENT OUTFALL:
A new flapper valve had been installed on the end of the effluent outfall pipe to prevent

backflow from the creek, during periods of high rainfall and high stream flows, into the
chlorination and dechlorination vaults.
EFFLUENT:
The effluent data was as follows:
Dissolved Oxygen = 3.52 mg/1
pH = 6.89 units
Temperature = 11.2 degrees Celsius
i
Chlorine = <14 ug/I
The effluent was very clear and appeared to be in compliance with permit limits.
The. outfall at the stream and downstream were also very clear.
SUMMARY:
Mr. Richard Paxton, Maintenance Supervisor, and Mr. Randy Joseph, ORC, assisted in the
inspection and appear to be operating and maintaining the system in accordance with permit
conditions.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ANNUAL REPORT (SPAR):
The July 1, 2009 - June 30, 2010 System Performance Annual Report was received by the Division

0.009 MGD wastewater treatment system with:
a 1,000 gallon grease trap for each school (Madison Middle School & Brush Creek Elementary);
10,300 gallon septic tank (original tank);
3,000 gallon settling tank (original pump tank) with two 15-inch Orenco pvc biotube effluent
filters;
10,000 gallon recirculation tank (added in 2001) with dual 1 HP (80 gpm) pumps;
50' x 51' (-2500 sq ft) recirculating sand filter (ratio 1:1) with low pressure pipe (LPP)
distributions lines & 4-inch recirculation line to the settling (pump) tank; {applied
flow to sand filter — 18,.000 gpd at design flow over 15 hours; actual pump run time per
day = — 3.75 hours for22 doses/day};
electro-mechanical timer to control the dosing / resting intervals of wastewater (10 minute
intervals: 10 minutes on and 30 minutes off, rather than demand cycles); (50% of the
effluent flow is recirculated);
vault with tablet chlorinator;.
chlorine contact tank;
Stevens Model 61 R recording flow meter;
vault with tablet dechlorinator and tank;
6-inch pvc effluent discharge pipe with flap valve (at the end of the pipe at the creek.)
PERMIT / INSPECTION / LOG:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance sampling inspection was conducted on
11-12-2009 by Janet Cantwell.
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.
EFFLUENT:
The effluent data was as follows:
Dissolved Oxygen = 3.02 mg/I
pH = 6.52 units
-Temperature = 23.3 degrees Celsius
Chlorine = 23 ug/I
Page # 2

Permit: NCO080659 Owner - Facility: Madison County Middle School WWrP
Inspection Date: 06/08/2010 Inspection Type: Compliance Sampling
OPERATIONS / EFFLUENT / SUMMARY:
Mr. Randy Joseph is the ORC and assisted with the inspection.
The effluent was clear and appeared to be in compliance with permit limits.
Samples were taken on the day of the inspection. The results are as follows:
BOD = 8.1 mg/I
TSS = 15 mg/I (Note: Visible particles of dechlor were present.)
fecal coliform = 4 colonies / 100 ml
MAINTENANCE AND HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS:
Richard Paxton, Maintenance Supervisor:
The sand was replaced in the sand filter beds in November 2009. The beds appear to be operating
well at this time.
As a reminder, here are some routine maintenance items that will need to be done or checked
before school restarts in August:
Grease traps and septic tanks:
Pump both 1,000 gallon grease traps before school restarts in August.
Pump the septic tank, taking care NOT to remove the 25% seed level, and pump the
settling tank.
Biotube effluent. filters:
Hose off the two filter cartridges.
Sand filter beds:
Remove the vegetation from the sand filter beds.
Note: The sand beds may NOT be sprayed with weed killers or herbicides.
.Remove any sludge contaminated sand from the top layer of the bed.
Rake and relevel the sand, if sand is removed.
Clean out the pvc distribution laterals and unstop any clogged orifices.
Relevel the laterals so that wastewater is evenly distributed over the sand filter bed.
Page # 3

Permit: NCO080659 Owner - Facility: Madison County Middle School WWTP
Inspection Date: 06/08/2010 Inspection Type: Compliance Sampling
Trash and debris:
Remove all of the black plastic bags of old used sand (removed scum layer) and weeds
that are piled up outside of the sand filter beds.
Remove all weeds and vegetation growing inside the fenced area surrounding the sand
filter beds.
Dispose of trash (in bucket), broken rakes and etc.
Keep these areas free of weed, vegetation and debris.
Note: These areas may be sprayed with weed killers or herbicides.
If this is used, remove the dead vegetation.
Chlorine contact tank:
Pump the chlorine contact tank to remove accumulated solids and debris.
Flow meter:
The reported effluent flows are currently based on the potable water meter readings.
The facility has a Stevens Model 61 R recording flow meter. The meter is not working
and needs to be repaired or replaced. After the meter is repaired, the desiccant
material needs to be routinely replaced to prevent moisture from corroding the meter.
The strip charts and pens looked like they need to be replaced, as well. The flow meter
will need to be recalibrated annually.
Effluent pipe:
Replace the flap valve at the end of the outfall pipe, located at the creek.
Note: This valve prevents backflow from the creek, during periods of high rainfall and
high flows, into the chlorination and dechlorination vaults.
PLEASE NOTIFY THIS OFFICE AS THESE MAINTENANCE AND HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS ITEMS ARE
COMPLETED (@ Telephone: [phone] Wanda Frazier).
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ANNUAL REPORT:
The Division has not received any System Performance Annual Reports.
Please submit this report for the 2009 calendar year, as soon as possible.
Note: According to the Clean Water Act of 1999 (House Bill 1160), the legal requirement for submittal
of the System Performance Annual Report is as follows:

users or customers and to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources that summarizes
the treatment work's and collection system's performance over a 12 month period.
The System Performance Annual Report is due no later than 60 days after the end of the reporting
period.
Report Format:
The following is provided as guidance to assist you in meeting this aspect of the new reporting
requirements. The law states the above mentioned report shall summarize the performance of the
treatment works or collection system and state the extent to which any terms of its permit,
federal laws, or any State laws, regulations or rules related to the protection of water quality
have been violated. In order to meet the spirit of this law, it is,strongly suggested that, at
a minimum, the reports contain the following information:
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ANNUAL REPORT:

Comment: ' There is a sizable area on both sand filters that are ponding. The
accumulated black scum, carried over from the grease trap, needs to be removed from
the surface of the sand beds. This will help eliminate odors from the sand filter beds .
and allow for a more even distribution of flow through the sand beds. Once this is done,
other causes for ponding needs to be evaluated and remedied.

Compliance Evaluation Inspection

Permit No: NCO080659
Madison County
Dear Dr. Wilcox:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection report from
the inspection conducted on September 1, 2006 (in follow-up to an inspection of January
13, 2006). The Compliance Evaluation Inspection was conducted by James R Reid and
Starr Silvis of the Asheville Regional Office. Conditions had improved since the previous
inspection and the facility was found to be marginally in compliance with permit
NC0080659.
Despite a judgment of "marginal compliance", issues requiring immediate attention
were noted. The major issue requiring attention was the operator's lack of knowledge
concerning the "recirculation" component of the system. As the facility's NPDES Permit
(at Part II.C.2, page 6 of 16) requires proper operation of all facilities and systems, the
inspectors question the permittee's ability to comply with the cited section of the permit
when the operator in responsible charge professes not to understand the operation of the
recirculation system. The second item noted to be in need of immediate attention was
checking the sludge level in the septic tank and pumping as necessary. Fine solids
observed on sand at distribution orifices suggested that pumping of the tank might be
needed. Attached are pages that describe sludge removal from septic tanks.
