On June 14, 2002, the Division received your Engineering Alternatives Analysis MAN and Flood Plain Analysis, which were listed as Special Condition requirements in your NPDES permit NC0063932. The White Forest WWFP currently serves 7 residences. Based on the EAA and additional phone conversations, it appears that connection to the privately -owned McCarron WWrP (Permit No. NC0071781) locatedless than 549-feet away is a viable wastewater treatment alternative. The McCarron WWTP is awned by Aqua. Source, which appears amenable to ,accepting the wastewater from McCarron. As discussed, you are currently investigating the possibility of a low pressure grinder pump collection system, to collect and transfer wastewater from White Forest to McCarron. The NC Division of Water Quality/Non-discharge Permitting Unit does permit low pressure sewer systems. The application to use is PSSA 10/99, which I have attached to this letter. A few items to note regarding this application include: ■ pressure sewer systems can be permitted as public or private. Either way, the Permittee i responsible for the entire system - including the grinder pumps and service lines. • If privately owned, the Permittee must have a legal homeowner's association. This HOA must have bylaws/covenants that provide a separate priority fund for the sewer system. They must also submit a signed and notarized Operational Agreement (HOA 10/99 - available on the Non - Discharge Unit website) with the application. This OA indicates what stipulations the HOA must fallow. • The Per itt e must maintain spare pumps equal to 10% of the total number installed. • The application must include sealed engineering plans, calculations,` and specifications. If you have any questions regarding the low pressure collection system application, please. contact the NC Non Discharge Permitting Unit (contact: Marie Doklovic, 91 -733- 083, ext. 37 1).

PANT IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS . I . E. Mullis with White Forest WWT Trust is requesting renewal of the subject permit. A review of the past year's self - monitoring data, from 03/98 through 03/99, did not reveal any limit violations. During the site investigation the wastewater treatment plant appeared to be in good operational condition. However, since the facility is located in a flood plain, it is recommended that the discharge from the subject facility be eliminated by the end of this permit cycle. (See item. 111.6. above) Pending review and approval by the P E, it is recommended that the permit be renewed with a condition that the discharge be eliminated by the end of the permit cycle. signature of Re c rt Pr parer !

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. Qtba Mca==ma 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 flaws recorded during the calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time o sampling, when bath the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. c. A "continuous flaw measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flaw shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flaw or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. . Types of Samr►les a. CompositeSample: 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 proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (2) a series of gran 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 present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 124 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or () a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow. In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab' samples may be collected at time intervals 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 case may the time interval between effluent grab samples, be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of;samples less than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period. b. Grab pie. Grab samples are individual %samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. . CW jilafign Arithmetic Mean' The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values: Part R Page 4 of 14 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 (4) 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 surnmation of the respective flows, 10.calodarDly- A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 4-Dour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 11.
