3. Definitions
a. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected in a one
month period. The monthly average for fecal caliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -month period.
b. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during a
one -week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria
is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -week period.
c. Flow, M3/day (MGD): -The flow limit expressed in this permit is -the
24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the
arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar
month.
d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the
summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual
values.
M5

Part I
Permit No. NC
e. 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 equiva-
lent 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).
f. Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following:
(1) Not less than four influent or effluent portions collected
at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and composited
in proportion to flow.
(2) Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions
collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional
to the flow.
(3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over
a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow.
g. Grab Sample: A "grab sample" is a single influent or effluent
portion which is not a composite sample. The sample(s) shall be
collected at the period(s)-most representative of the total discharge.
4. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC
regulations published pursuant to N. C. G. S. 143-215.63 et seq, The
Water and Air Quality Reporting Act, and to regulations published pursuant
to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act,
As Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136.
5. Recording Results
For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of
this permit, the permittee shall record the following information:
a. The exact place, date, and time of sampling;
b. The dates the analyses were performed; and
C. The person(s) who performed the analyses.

shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the values required
in the Monthly Monitoring Report Form (DEM No. MR 1.0, 1.1, and 1.4)
Such increased frequency shall also be indicated. The DEM may require
more frequent monitoring or the monitoring of other pollutants not
required in this permit by written notification.

1. Change in Discharge
All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and
conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified
in this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that
authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit. Any anticipated
facility expansions, production increases, or process modifications which
will result in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must
be reported by submission of a new NPDES application or, if such changes
will not violate the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by
notice to the DEM of such changes. Following such notice, the permit
may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited.
2. Non compliance Notification
If, for any reason, the permittee does not comply with or will be unable
to comply with any effluent.limitation specified in this permit, the per-
mittee shall provide the Division of Environmental Management with the
following information, in writing, within five (5) days of becoming aware
of such condition:
a. A description of the discharge and cause of noncompliance; and

if not corrected; the anticipated time the noncompliance is expected
to continue, and steps being taken to reduce, eliminate and prevent
recurrence of the noncomplying discharge.
3. Facilities Operation
The permittee shall at all times maintain in good working order and
operate as efficiently as possible all treatment or control facilities
or systems installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with
the terms and conditions of this permit.
4. Adverse Impact
The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize any adverse
impact to navigable waters resulting from noncompliance with any effluent
limitations specified in this permit, including such accelerated or
additional monitoring as necessary to determine the nature and impact of
the noncomplying discharge.
5. Bypassing

notify the Water Quality Section of DEM in writing -of each such
diversion or bypass.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the
course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be disposed of in
a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from
entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United States.
7. Power Failures
In order to maintain compliance with the effluent limitations and
prohibitions of this permit, the permittee shall either:
a. In accordance with the Schedule of Compliance contained in Part I,

Dear Mr.. Adkins. -
Based upon information your office.has provided, -I understand the waste load -- _
.allocation indicates that the following limits shall apply to this discharge:- -
-- --BOD 24 mg/ 1;
Ammonia Nitrogen 13 mg/l;
Dissolved Oxygen 6 mg/l;
Fecal Coliform Bacteria 1000/ml;
pH 6-9;.
Total Suspended Solids 30 mg/l.
The proposed 45,000 GPD secondary treatment plant will consist of comminuter,
24—hour detention extended aeration, 4—hour detention clarifier, sludge hold—
ing tank, 30—minute detention chlorine contact -system, flow meter, post aera—
tion, and stream discharge. The plant will be built in two equal phases as
indicated on the enclosed diagram.
The proposed treatment works will provide for adequate treatment of the waste—
water in accordance with -.the waste load allocation and will provide for main-
-tenance of water quality at or above the stream classification standards for
Caldwell Creek.
Enclosed is the plot plan. If you have questions or if you need further 61ab—

clarifier, sludge holding tank, chlorine contact basin, flow meter
and post aeration.
The facilities are designed to treat wastewater from a proposed
residential development.
Part III' - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
I. Performance Evaluation: Although no plans and specifications for the
proposed facilities have yet been received, the proposed treatment
concept (as described in Mr. Barrett Kays letter of 10/21/83)
shoul:d be capable of meeting the effluent limitations suggested by
Technical Services which are as follows:
Parameter Effluent Concentration
Flow .045 MGD
BOD5 24 mg/l
NH as N 13 mg/l
TSS3 30 mg/1
Fecal Coliform 1000/100 ml
D. 0. (Minimum) 6.0 mg/l
pH 6-9 s.u.
2. Recommendations and/or Special Conditions:
It is recommended that an NPDES Permit be issued containing the
effluent limitations as suggested by Technical Services.

Dear Mr. Adkins:
Based upon information your office has.provided,.I understand the waste load
allocation indicates that the.following limits shall apply to this discharge:
BOD 24 mg/l;
Ammonia Nitrogen 13 mg/1; �J
Dissolved Oxygen 6 mg/l;
Fecal Coliform Bacteria 1000/ml;
pH 6-9;
Total Suspended Solids 30 mg/l.
The proposed 45,000 GPD secondary treatment plant will consist of comminuter,
24-hour detention extended aeration, 4-hour detention clarifier, sludge hold-
ing tank, 30-minu'te detention chlorine contact system, flow meter, post aera-
tion, and .,stream discharge. The plant will be built in two equal phases as
indicated on the enclosed diagram.
The proposed treatment works will provide for adequate treatment of the waste-

tenance of water quality at or above the stream classification standards for
Caldwell Creek.
Enclosed is the plot plan. If you have questions or if you need further elab-
