Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or - (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or Version 1110912011 NPDES 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 sifiaations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also "Composite Sample," above.) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DWQ or "the Division" The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Effluent Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source whether treated or untreated. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Version 1110912011 NPDES 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 ally, 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 coliforrn 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 prope!:Iy 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. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1.

Version 1110912011 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 14 of to PART IV SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR MUNICIPAL FACILITIES Section A. Definitions In addition to the definitions in Part II 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 [I 5A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(33)]: 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 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 Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or 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; 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 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 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.

Response deadline: May 14, 2012 Dear Mr. Oliver: Dee Freeman Secretary Information previously gathered by this office, and recently confirmed, indicates the treatment facility serving the subject site is in violation of Permit NC0058581. Failure to properly repair the effluent discharge pipe is a violation of Section C. Operation and Maintenance of Pollution Controls of the permit. Please respond to this office in writing by the response deadline noted above explaining how you intend to return the facility to compliance with the permit. If conditions preclude repair of the effluent line, therefore preventing discharge of effluent to surface waters of the State, rescission or revocation of the permit will be required. The Division understands the Association is investigating an alternative wastewater treatment system through the Onsite Water Protection Branch of the Environmental Health Section of DHHS for the discharge of its treated wastewater. The Division fully supports such an option and will gladly assist with transition from the current NPDES permit to an onsite system.

Comment: ■❑0D ■❑00 2 Page # 6 Annnal Wastewater Treatment System Performance Report For White Oak Mountain Condominiums For the Operating Period January through December, 2009 Preface MAR 16 2010 POINT 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 I 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 (DEHNR) as set forth in their 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. I. General Information Facility/System Name: Responsible Entity- Person(s) in Charge/Contact Applicable Permits White Oak Condominiums WWTP The Brow Association, Inc. Kace Environmental Inc., Operator of Responsible Charge (ORC) NPDES # NCO058581 Description of Treatment Process, Collection System and Facilities Served: Treatment Process - The treatment facilities consist of a 0.015 MGD extended aeration package wastewater plant with tablet chlorination and tablet dechlorination located at The Brow Condominiums on White Oak Mountain in Columbus, North Carolina. The treated effluent is discharged to Horse Creek, which is classified as Class C waters, in the Broad 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 has a Spill Response Plan and an Operation and Maintenance Plan for the sewer collection system. Facilities Served — The system serves the residential area known as The Brow Condominiums. H. Performance All operating parameters were in compliance with NPDES permit limits for 2009 with the exception of the month of April. In April 2009 the facility received notice of violation for failing to collect an ammonia nitrogen sample in the first week of the month. Samples were collected properly beginning April 7, 2009 and the facility was returned to compliance. The Brow Association, Inc. takes pride in our efforts to protect the local environment and the high duality of the waters in the local streams. III.

Sincerely; /,✓ en Deaver Kace Environmental, Inc. cc: Marion Oliver Kevin White 7-25-09 The attached DMR for The Brow Condos, April 2009, is a corrected copy. The original was marked "Compliant" and it was brought to my attention that there was a violation for failure to monitor NH3N for the first week of April. Samples were originally taken on March 31, 2009 and was considered to be under the "Twice Monthly" sampling requirements for NH3N as stated in the Permit # NC0058581. NCDWQ informed the ORC that sampling weeks begin on Sunday at 12:01 A.M. and concludes' bn Saturday_ at,12:00 _P.M. _ There were four days in April included in this week and since April begins a "Weekly" sampling schedule as stated in the permit, one NH3N sample should have been taken along with the March 31St samples. The NH3N sample was not intentionally omitted nor failed to be monitored by neglect, just an unfortunate error due to the way that the sampling days are scheduled for transport by a courier. I will accept responsibility for this error and will make every effort to ensure that it will not happen again. My apologies are henceforth offered to the Permittee and to NCDWQ.

I apologize that I,had not updated you better over the last several months. As I explained by phone, we have done considerable amount of work over the last several months. The soil scientist has completed his work and made his loading recommendations. The soil scientist's report is attached to this email for your use. As you will see from the report, the soils are better than expected. . We have completed the property surveys and have the drawings almost ready for submittal. We have approached Mr. Lyons with the onsite group through the contractor we hope to use for part of the equipment and subsurface system to obtain Mr. Lyons input on the best submittal procedures. We understand the onsite groups major concern at this early stage is that it would be setting a precedent because The Brow property is nonconforming to the onsite rules. We will be providing information through our contractor to Mr. Lyons concerning the treatment plant's performance and flow. We expect to dig pits at The Brow for observation by the onsite group in the next few weeks. It is the deep desire of The Brow POA to correct the discharge problem as soon as possible.

Inc. complaint about uncontrolled discharge from The Brow Assoc. Inc. treatment facility Jeff and Janet, Number 1) the WWTP at the Brow is a classified GRADE 2 system not a GRADE 4. The system has been there Longer than White Oak Mtn. development and there is possibly some contention between the two entities. There have already been meetings between the Brow's BOD (board of directors) and an Engineer in Irmo, S.C. regarding "e rniFiating" the discharge and installing an "C:. ;::e" drip irrigation system (this occurred on April 18, 2009-do not have an update at this time). At last I heard they were still trying to determine its feasibility. Review of DMR data from the facility does not indicate the discharge will negatively impact the aquifer, and the loading on the WWTP is so minimal, the WWTP is underloaded (only 42 units, not occupied year round, only 2 occupied year round). You may want to contact Mr. Burgin at Engineering firm (803)781-2965, regarding any findings and status. Thanks, Don.

Inc. complaint about uncontrolled discharge from The Brow Assoc. Inc. treatment facility Dear Mr. Menzel; Thanks for taking the time today, on behalf of the Asheville Office of the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, to hear my concerns about The Brow's treat and discharge facility. This is a recap our conversation and provides additional information: The purpose of this complaint correspondence is to: First: to make NCDENR and Polk County Department of Health formally aware of years of discharge of treated waste effluent, from a Class VI Treat and Discharge facility owned and managed by The Brow Association, Inc. (a homeowners [condo 42 units] association), onto common land property owned by the White Oak Mountain Association, Inc. (WOMA). Second: the WOMA Board of Directors have concern for the property owners downhill from the discharge site and possible contamination of the aquifer from which they currently draw water and the impact on and for owners who may build in the future. The concern is not only for the human population but for the wildlife that drink the effluent. The wildlife could be adversely impacted by medications flushed down commodes and other contaminants as well. Third: to gather information from you as to what resources NCDENR can provide this entire mountain community (WOMA and The Brow) in having a safe aquifer for human consumption and protection of our wildlife. Fourth: what actions can NCDENR take (or may be taking), if necessary, to insure and assure that proper corrective actions have been or are being implemented by The Brow. To best illustrate the problem I have attached some photos of the broken discharge effluent pipe. When this facility was built the discharge pipe was laid, often suspended and attached by wire to the mountain side, making it susceptible to freeze. It descends vertically from the treatment facility about 75 feet then takes a 45 degree turn to the west running down hill about 300 feet to another 45 degree turn straight down the mountain. The discharge pipe was laid to discharge into Horse Creek, about'/ mile from the treatment facility. However upon the paving of the State Road up the mountain the pipe, which crossed under the road, was apparently severed and never reattached. The photos were taken the afternoon of 30 Jan 2009 and presented to The Brow's President at a 10:00 hrs meeting on 28 Feb. As you will readily determine in the photo "Dead Fall Damage" it shows years of neglect by the very age and condition of the dead fall across the pipe. Perhaps the photo of greatest concern is the one titled "Bubbles in the flow from leakage at the end of climbing rope". As you may have gathered the terrain is extremely steep and I carried a %2 inch polypropylene rope to assist in trekking up the mountain. I put the end of the climbing rope in the photo to provide a sense of proportion. The temperature that day was slightly above freezing. I found this pool of bubbles about 125 feet downhill and below The Brows treatment tank. This is tank discharge effluent freely flowing down the rock face of the mountain. Bubbles of this nature do not ordinarily appear in "Nature" especially when the ambient temperature is hovering just above freezing.

(TCG) performed a Preliminary Soil and Site Evaluation for a subsurface wastewater system on an approximately 2 acre portion of The Brow development in Columbus, Polk County, North Carolina. The Brow is comprised of 42 two -bedroom condominium units. There is an existing discharge permit for 10,080 gallons per day with the Division of Water Quality (DWQ). TCG has been informed that the current system is failing, and that site personnel were told that a subsurface system located in the evaluated area would be the only viable option at this time. The objective of the investigation was to identify areas that would be potentially useable for subsurface wastewater disposal and to perform preliminary saturated hydraulic conductivity tests (KsAT) within these areas to provide estimated loading rates (LTAR). The property was evaluated in accordance with North Carolina statutes for waste disposal ("Laws and Rules for Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems", Sections .1940 through .1944; amended June 2006). The area is open lawn, and was identified as the only location on site to serve as the repair area. Past construction activities resulted in most of the area containing some amount of fill material. There is a small in -ground pool and some surface drainage features. Although not field marked, the current sewer lines run through the area, evidenced by the location of access lids. INVESTIGATION METHODOLOGY The field investigation was performed on May 12 and 13, 2009. Soil borings were made with a hand -turned auger throughout the study area. Observations of the landscape (slope, drainage patterns, past use, etc.) as well as soil properties (depth, texture, structure, seasonal wetness, restrictive horizons, etc.) to a.depth> 30 inches, when possible, were recorded. Soil color was determined with a Munsell Soil Color Chart. From these observations, potentially suitable areas for wastewater disposal were identified. Fifteen KsAT measurements were performed throughout the proposed drainfield area using a constant -head permeameter (Amoozemeter) to aid in determining a loading rate. The tests were performed across the proposed drainfields as well as the different soil layers to determine the most restrictive horizon. FINDINGS Figure 1 provides a visual depiction of the conditions on the lot. The location of features and drainfields are approximate, and are meant for general planning purposes only. Final location of potential drainfield components can only be made after the results from more in depth testing, drainline delineation and current utility locations are determined. The Brow 1 May 2009 TCG Job #7420 The soil profiles within the tested areas generally contain some amount of sandy clay loam fill over native sandy loam to sandy clay loam saprolite. Some small areas are almost entirely native soil, but this is atypical. The fill material has begun to develop weak to moderate structure, and appears useable for the placement of drip irrigation drain lines. Auger boring profile descriptions are attached in the Appendix. Although North Carolina regulations require back hoe excavated test pits to determine saprolite suitability, none have been excavated to date. It is TCG's opinion that because this area has been identified as the only available open space to serve as the repair area for the system, that the saprolite will have to be utilized. To this end, TCG has attempted to initially characterize and assess the properties of the saprolite such that a repair system is designed accordingly. If the On -Site Wastewater Protection Section (OWPS) deterinines a need for the test pits, they will need to be excavated for their review. We have not had pits excavated to this point to minimize disturbance to the proposed drainfields. Based on the preliminary soil investigation, two drainfields were identified (Figure 1). Area 1 is comprised of approximately 13,800 ft2, and Area 2 is larger with 60,500 ft2. Both areas share similar soil profile properties, but Area 1 has been left with a more natural slope shape, and has a higher percentage slope (10-15%). Area 2 is characterized by man-made terraces and areas with heavier rock as indicated by some auger and push probe refusal. Generally, two major horizons were identified based on soil properties, fill material and saprolite. The initial KsAT testing is grouped into the two major horizons. In some locations, the fill was 6 inches or less, so only the saprolite was tested. Table 1 presents the results of those tests, and copies of the field sheets are provided in the Appendix. Table 2 presents the data computed into a geometric mean by drainfield and horizon.

Following are preliminary design parameters that can be reasonably expected for the system: LTAR: 0.30 gpd/ft Pretreatment: TS-II (to mitigate potential retention time issues) System Type: Subsurface Drip Irrigation Line spacing: 12 inches on center (minimum) Emitter spacing: 18 inches Installation Depth: 6 inches below grade Current utility lines will need to be identified and avoided, and care should be taken when working around drainage swales. Stormwater runoff from the roof tops of the adjacent buildings should be collected and diverted through the drainage swales to avoid stressing the system drainfield areas. Any and all vehicular traffic must cease in the drainfield areas, excluding normal lawn care machinery. Once the area has been field delineated, the LTAR should be adjusted to the maximum useable area. Based on the recommended LTAR and assuming 75% of the identified area is useable, these drainfields could service approximately 16,700 gallons per day of flow. Though the system is permitted for daily flow of 10,080 gallons per day, actual facility records indicate the flow is substantially less. Discussions with OWPS should focus on assigning an appropriate daily design flow for the facility, which may include a reduction from the "book assigned" flow rates and/or installation of holding tanks to allow for time dosing. Again, the focus should be on maximizing the size of the drainfield within this area, to mitigate any future problems with system failure. Part of this approach is appropriately designing the tanks and other system components for the appropriate system flow. At this point, TCG recommends the following course of action to finalize the permit application process. 1. OWPS should be notified that a permit request is being made for the site. This report can be submitted with the request, and a field review date should be scheduled. Inquiry to the need for test pits should be made at this time. If The Brow 3 May 2009 TCG Job #7420 � 1 deemed necessary by OWPS, a backhoe and operator should be made available shortly before or the day of the field meeting, dependent upon OWPS's needs. 2. TCG will field delineate the drain lines following the field meeting. This will be accomplished with metal pin flags. 3. It is anticipated that additional KsAT tests will be required. The number and location will be discussed during the meeting with OWPS. 4. If the area is approved by OWPS, information from this and any subsequent reports will be delivered to Mr. Burgin for the engineering phase of the process. CONCLUSIONS The findings presented herein represent TCG's professional opinion based on our site and soils evaluation and knowledge of the current laws and regulations governing on -site wastewater systems in North Carolina (Section .1900 of the North Carolina Administrative Code). Soils naturally change across a landscape and contain many inclusions. As such, attempts to quantify them are not always precise and exact. As stated before, more detailed testing and design would be required before final suitability can be determined. It is the opinion of TCG that a subsurface drip irrigation system should be utilized as a repainsystem for the currently malfunctioning surface disposal system for The Brow community in Columbus, NC. Following the guidelines of this and subsequent reports, the system should provide a functioning system to meet the waste water treatment needs of the development. Ultimately, any septic system will require a review and permit issuance from OWPS. Any concurrence with the findings of this, or any future report will be made at that time. The Brow 4.

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 (DEHNR) as set forth in their 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. c 0 V MAR ' 7 2008 WATER QUALITY SECTION ASHEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE I.

The Annual Performance Report has been filed for the year. The aeration basin process control data was as follows on the day of the inspection. Dissolved Oxygen = 6.6 mg/I Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3 mg/l. Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve ideal dissolved oxygen levels. Temperature = 11.8 degrees Celcius Settleable Solids = 40 ml/I = 4% Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so that the flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the settleable solids from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a settleometer. For example, a settleability of 30% would generally indicate a recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%. pH = 7.5 units The effluent data was as follows on the day of the inspection. Dissolved Oxygen = 4.78 mg/I Temperature = 11.4 degrees Celcius Chlorine = < 25 ug/I pH = 7.5 units On -site during the inspection was Kevin White, ORC. The log book was present on -site and had good notation of daily events. The effluent appeared to be clear, indicating compliance with permit limits. This facility appears to be well operated and maintained. The operator is doing a good job.

Mr. Deaver's response's to inquiries made into operations, sampling, maintenance,and ORC designation at this WWTP were adequate and do not require additional measures at this time. Should changes be made to O&M, sampling,or the ORC and back-up ORC designation be made, immediate steps to notify the Asheville Regional Office, Surface Water Protection Unit should be taken. It is the responsibility of the WWTP owner/permitee or their designee to make the required notifications regarding designated ORC and back-up ORC to this office and any other notifications required by the Water Pollution Control System Operator Certification regulations, NPDES regulations, and G.S 143-215.1 regulations. Should future inspection's reveal deficiencies, or requirements are needed at the WWTP, appropriate notification and action will be taken. Kevin White is now the designated ORC for the WWTP. Both Blower units installed and appeared to be operational at the time of the inspection. Entries in Operators log book indicated newest blower put in service on 6/5/2006 (day before the inspection). That blower was delivered on 5/18/2006. A new chain and lock has been placed on the WWTP gate to improve security, WWTP staff need to install the means necessary for keeping the log book secured at the WWTP. This will allow for more periodic review by DENR staff of WWTP operation and maintenance. ORC and WWTP staff need to locate the effluent discharge and associated- piping to determine if any areas of the discharge pipe are in need of maintenance and repair. WWTP is located in a remote area and effluent pipe has to traverse a steep terrain. In the future it may be necessary to replace the discharge piping with new pipe. Increased observation by ORC and WWTP staff is imperative to insure adequate WWTP operation and maintainenance.

When Bob Barwell became sick Ronnie Russell contracted the Brow and Joel Burrell as backup operator. They decided to give it up so I contracted the Brow for about a month and realized I didn't have the time to spend operating the plant as it needed. Ronnie Russell for the second time took the Brow back and was ORC. As far as I know when Ronnie gave it up Mr. Ken Deaver from Rutherford County contracted the Brow. I think it was sometime in October 2005 Ken asked me if I would collect samples for him at the Brow. I did this until sometime after February 14, 2006. I was not `aware 1' was a backup operator for the Brow, nor do I want to be. I have spoken to Ken Deaver about this situation and he assures me that I am not on the form as his ba6l*' operatoi but Joel Burrell and Kevin White are his backup operators. Please find below the wastewater plants that I am the ORC for. Joel Burrell is the designated back-up operator for these three systems. 1. ORC, Tryon Wastewater Treatment Plant 2. ORC, Polk Central School 3. ORC, Tryon Middle School I have enclosed new designation forms for each of these systems and have mailed the originals to Raleigh.

Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendardays between sampling events. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, 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. B ass 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 thatreasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 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 (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 Version 1011012007 SPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 16 influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. Pernllttees 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 X hours [X = days detention time] over a 24-hour period. Effluent samples shall be collected 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" for conventional and other non -toxicant parameters. NOTE: Permittees may not submit a "daily average" calculation [for determining compliance with permit limits] for toxicants. See the relevant Federal effluent guideline[s] for the appropriate calculation interval. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. The Division expects that 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). DM or "the Division" The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. Facility Closure The cessation of wastewater treatment -at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage under the NPDES.
