The "ave .ckly concentration," other than for fecal cob -m bacteria, is the sum of the to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliforin bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the it. d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal colifonn bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for fecal coliform, bacteria is the geometric can of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This bmitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Urnits" in Part I of the permit. e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I. f, The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit. g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. 7. Qt1j&j Mcasjgmgnts a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually 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. 8. Tvnes of SampIca a.

Part 11 Page 7 of 11 4. b. Bypass not exceeding limitations. The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section. c. Notice Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass. (2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part 11, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice). d. Prohibition of Bypass (1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass, unless: (A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of fife, personal injury or severe property damage; (B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and (C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section. (2) The Permit Issuing, Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. 0) of this section. 5. V4?J= a. Definition: "Upset" means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. b. Effect of an upset: An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met, No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset: A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through property signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: (1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; (2) The pennittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and (3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part 11, E, 6. (b) (B) of this permit. (4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part 11, B. 2. of this permit. d.

MCDEP took six samples in 1986 (January, March, May, September, October, and November) and found noncompliance with TSS all months, BOD 5 months, NH 3 4 months, and ' fecal coliform 3 months. 2 During July 1986, MCDEP received a complaint about black sediment and sewage in Irvins Creek. This was due entirely to the discharge from Forest Ridge Wastewater Treatment Plant. ; (see enclosure) During the rte oath of 1986, the creek was dry upstream of the plant.Flow in the creek was very low during 1987. This adds to the impact this plant his on the creek. On 3/18/86 5/2 /86, 9/ /86, 10/1.5/86, 10/2 /8 12/2/86,"and 6/5/87 representatives of MCDEP observed solids in the receiving scree from the plant. A State C l also noted problems (see enclosure) on May 4, 1987. 5) A 'Charlotte Mecklenburg kler bug Utility Department CC MUD) sewer line is approximately 0000 feet downstream at Independence Boulevard and should be extended upstream at some time in; the future 6 The site is very small and the expansion will be placed right at edge of creek There is no land for buffering of a larger facility. 1200 Blythe Boulevard Charlotte, North Carolina 28203 (704) 37 - 603 This plant does require - modific aurae problems die to rains and high recommend denial of the additional creek. .

Due to solids wash out at plant, we contracted Wastewater Services a private consulting firm to evaluate our treatment plant. 2. Their findings stated excessive D.O. during peak flow periods, causing the solids to float out of the clarifiers. 3. We set the timers to run the blowers, on 45 minutes and off 15 minutes each hour. 4. This corrected the problem for about 45 days until it started raining. The rain caused some short circuiting in the plant due to infiltration. 5. We plan to make a few more adjustments which should control the problem. On your next scheduled visit, the plant should be in full operation. If you have more question regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me at this office.

The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Daily Average" or "Monthly Average" In Part I of the permit. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday -Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such week.

The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pcllutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated f it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identifie "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sample and/or measured during the calendar ye: r 0 which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the nu of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum b number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is define "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. Part 11 Page 12 of 14 f. Concentration Measurement a. The "averagemonthly concentration, 11 ether than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges samples and/or measured during a calendar month can which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all -the samples collected during ;that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" or "Daily Average" under "Other Limits" in Part l of the permit. b The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria., is the 'sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar Meek ( unday/Saturday%) on ;which drily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily di.schnrges sampled and/or weasu:a ed during such week (arithmetic rrtenrr of the daily concentration values).

Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit Is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. 8. Typ-e-s-of---S-amlLl--n a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, A sample continuously collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taVen at varying time intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which - I - -- -I- - ---I - - -t. - I 1 1- - - - - - - r 4, - - 4- of --- - I - - -- - 11 - , ..... - - - - - - --- - - -- - - . - hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, I no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any dischar period of 24 hours or less. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Calculation of Means 8. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the sumrr of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth rc the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall'I considered to be one (1). C. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of tt respective flows.
