It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit. & 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. Other Memuremenm 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. IYP&5 of Sam a.

The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a'calendar month on 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 a "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. b. The "average weeklyconcentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampledand/or measured during such week (arithmetic e 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 weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified a "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 permit. d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform 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 mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identifier) as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" 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 1. 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. Part 11 Page 3 of 14 7. Other Measurgm nts g 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. Tvoes of Samnles a . Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of: (1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined prol collection, or (2) a series of grab sai intervals between s point. Flow measv recorder and totali no greater than 1/2 (3) a single, continuous in accordance with (1, greater than once per ] ile� of � ual 1 11 ibove, the time interval between lol� I at V� 24 hour sampling period. b. Grab Sample: Crab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the receiving waters. 9. C-alQula *Qn M a a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation 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 root of 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 be considered to be one (1) - c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. Part 11 Page 4 of 14 10.

The "month?% 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 sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampledand/or measured durinz such month. It is therefore, an arithmeticmean found by adding the weights of the Pollutant found each day of the month and then di��iding this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the b. The "weekk average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured durin,- the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily" discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic man found b adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollut t calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the pen -nit.' d . The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar \ear on which daily discharges are sampled and .measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampledand/or measured during such year. It is. therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants` found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the 'number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. Part 11 Page 2 of 14 Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampledand/or measured during a calendar month on 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 gTab samples is the arithmetic me (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" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the p t. 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 week (Sundae/Saturday) on which daily discharge-, are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or mew---,uied during such week (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 me (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day.

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 floe{ values of all the samples collected during that calendar day , The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" 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 en 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. Fan II Fag e 3 of 1 4 7 Other Measurements a. Flow, (MGI ): The flow lirnit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averazed monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month: b, A "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow ren 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 ofthe facilitN". Flow shall be monitored continually except for the i ifrequent times when there may be no flow' or for infrequent maintenance activities on the ,,3w device. Tv es of Samples a. CompositeSample: A composite sample shah st of (1`m a series of grab samples collected at equal tir ie intervals over a 24 hour period of discharzeand combined proportional to the rate of flow" measured at the time of individual sample collection, or ( ) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined : a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Ro-vv measurement bete sample intervals shall be dete ned bN' use of a flov, recorder and totalizer, an.- ` present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1 24 c expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or () a single, continuous sample collected o4 .a hour period proportional to the rate of floe. _ In accordance with (1) above, the time interval veen influent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour, and the time interval L1,t •een effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of Lreater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time inters als evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no ease may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (C) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period. b. Grab Sample. Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not e ceedinM 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. drab samples must be representative of the discharge or the receiving waters. 9. Calculation of ,\leans Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation 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 root of 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. Fur purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero 0) shall be considered to be one (1) Pail II Page 4 of 14 c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by floe value means the summation of each concentration times its respective floes divided by the summation of the respective flows. 10.

Mr. Smith indicated cleaning of the filter disks was scheduled for the near future. Effluent quality appeared excellent. NPDES Permit No. NC 0057401 allows for the expansion of the existing wastewater treatment facilities from 0.002 MGD to 0.200 MGD. Mr. Smith has indicated to the writer that this expansion may never occur, however, he desires to retain his expansion capacity. Should the facilities ever be expanded to 0.200 MGD, Tech Services should require additional monitoring for nutrients (Nitrogen and Phosphorous) be included in the Permit. This office requests that a condition be included in the Permit whereby Mr. Smith is required to construct wastewater treatment facilities within two (2) years from the date of permit reissuance or the 0.200 MGD allocation will be revoked and permitted flow will remain at 0.002 MGD. It is recommended that the 'PEES Permit be reissued containing effluent limitations for both 0.002 MGD and 0.200 MGD.
