STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. —Definitions
I/Mond,
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling g events.
JWeek-
Samples are collected three times per week oil 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 -Averate
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.
ArithmetieNfean
The sitar nation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bjpass
The known diversion of waste streams froin 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 Qgarter
—-
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite sarrinle
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 nil 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 volurne: 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 voliame 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

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 16
Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Perinittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 Ininutes apart during any 24-hour period.
Pernuttees 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.
DA4Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant ineasured 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 dru*g that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" for conventional and other non -toxicant parameters. NOTE: Pern-intees may not
submit a "daily average" calculation [for determining compliatice with permit limits] for toxicants. See the relevant
Federal effluent guideline[s] for the appropriate calculation interval.
Daily Samp1jug
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 week -days except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent week -day 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).
D%VO 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. Completion of facility closure willallow this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth toot 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.
QxajiSample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 mi-nutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be represent.afive of the, discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).

PART III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Aqua North Carolina, Inc. is applying for an authorization to construct an equalization
basin of approximately 18,038 gallons at Willowbrook Subdivision WWTP. Also, two
submersible pumps of 1/7 HP each. and two blowers will be provided for the new addition. It
should be noted that this addition would not alter the existing wastewater treatment, but will
dampen the surges in flow that is occurring now at the facility. The, proposed rectangular steel
flow equalization basin will be formed from the dis-mantling of the package treatment plant at
the Pier 16 WWTP since this plant is being eliminated.
Pending review and concurrence by Construction Grants & Loans Section, it is
recommended that the authorizations to construct be issued.

In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more 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
intervals evenly spaced over the 214-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period.
Continuous flaw— —measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be

L:)Wy 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 1223)
Daily Maximpm
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily &=IiLig
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the

Proposed Effluent Chlorine Disinfection Improvements
Willowbrook Subdivision Wastewater Treatment Facilities
NPDES No. N O07353
Mecklenburg County
Gentlemen:
Attached are plans and specifications for proposed improvements to existing chlorine disia
isure adequate chlorine disinfection,
siirafsl liquid chlorine feed system. Therefore, we propose to install a liga id feed r
system as shown on the attached plan.
This will be easy to accomplish by installing a small, adjustable feed rate, c renaic
which will pump from a small (30 gallon) chlorine storage/make tip tank into the
existing chlorine contact basin. The feed pump and storage/make tip tank will be
enclosure to protect from weather. The entire assembly will be mounted on a treat
platform located adjacent to the chlorine contact basin.
This should provide a touch more reliable and accurate paeans of insuring reliably
disinfection, and should be relatively simple to install and operate.
We are submitting this to you as at request for authorization to construct.
W, look forward to corn r l ting these proposed improvements and will appreciate
resno r-, Tf Fop should lave any questions or if we may be of any assistance, ple
