Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) COrninUOUS: 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 ti-ne/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 1110912011.1 NPDE S Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of l (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series; of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at constant time interval. Use of this method requires Pricer 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 detentions 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.

Per our phone discussion, the proposed treatment system will include RC► units, but any RCS reject will be sent to the Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities (CMU) sanitary sewer, since Division permitting policies do not allow for discharge of RC) reject to freshwaters given the likely toxicity, The subject NPDES permit will retain Effluent Sheet A.1 for the existing discharge, and a new Effluent Sheet A.2 has been added for the combined discharge. Contaminants of concern for each discharge have been combined into the A.2 Effluent Sheet for the combined discharge. Effluent limitations have also been updated to reflect changes to EPA surface water quality, criteria and/or North Carolina water quality standards. + Authorization to Construct Permit.

FACILITY SITE REVIEW: All of the components of the Outfalls 001 and 002 were in service and appeared to be operating properly at the time of the inspection. FLOW MEASUREMENT: Permit NCO088226 states, in Section A. 1. Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements that flow is to be measured on a monthly basis using an appropriate flow meter at both Outfalls 001 and 002. The permit further states, in Part 11 Standard Conditions Section D, that the flow meters are to be calibrated at a minimum of once per year. As indicated on the as required by the permit at either outfall. LABORATORY: The permittee contracts with Pace Analytical Services, Inc. to perform all chemical analyses (NC Laboratory Certification # 12) and Chronic Toxicity testing (NC Laboratory Certification # 9) specified in the permit. Pace Analytical Services, Inc. was not evaluated during this inspection. EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS: The facility discharges to the City of Charlotte municipal storm drain system, which subsequently discharges into an unnamed tributary to Little Sugar Creek, a Class C water, within the Catawba River Basin. The discharges from Outfalls 001 and 002 were clear and had no odor. Inspection of the outfalls revealed no evidence of detrimental impacts. SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM: DMRs were reviewed for the period July 2006 through June 2007. The following deficiencies were found during this review: I . The permittee has not monitored the discharge flow at either Outfall 001 or 002 as required by the permit and discussed in the Flow Measurement section. 2. The inspection determined that the discharges from Outfalls 001 and 002 might not have been monitored as required in the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements, Section A. (1) of NCO088226 due to non -discharge on facility visitation days by contracted sampling personnel. It is a violation of NCO088226 to discharge effluent to Waters of the State without performing the required monitoring. 3. The addressed w Quality. 4.
