A (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY MONITORING (QRTRLY)
The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent
versions.
The effluent concentration defined, as treatment two in the procedure document is 90%. The testing
shall be performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 7 day pass/fail test. The tests will be performed during
the months of January, April, July and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be
performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code
TG03B. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality .
Environmental Sciences Section

Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later
than -30 days after the end of the'reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report
with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the
Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then
monthly monitoring will begin. immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test
requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-
opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT
Forms submitted.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls,
shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than
the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January. through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A .sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml 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 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 time/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

Re: Renewal of NPDES Permit NC 0027502
Dear Mr. Weaver,
November 13, 2008
Nov 1
I 2008
The Town of Landis requests the renewal of NPDES Permit NC 0027502. Due to the
closing of the Landis Water Treatment Plant the subject permit is on inactive status ef-
fective June 1 st, 2006. Prior to inactive status the permit allowed the Town of Landis to
decant and discharge into Grants Creek the supernatant from the backwash settling pond
located behind the Water Treatment Plant at 255 Tranquil Lake Drive, Landis, North
Carolina. The outfall is located approximately 800 feet upstream from SR 1197.
Although there are no immediate plans for future operation of the Water Treatment Plant,
the Town would like to retain the permit should it be needed in the future. The permit
expires on May 31 st, 2009.
Since the facility is inoperative, we are requesting that responses to questions 5-15 of the
permit renewal application be waived to renew this permit, until such time when the per-
mit is requested to be activated.
Should you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to con-
tact me at 980-521-1570 or by email at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
J. Brady Burgess

The. Division has reviewed your May25th letter stating that the subject facility is not being operated and
therefore is not producing any•wastewater discharge. You indicated the facility will remain inoperative
while future options for the facility are evaluated.
After reviewing your letter and considering the recommendations of the staff in the Mooresville Regional
Office, I have agreed to waive the requirement to submit monthly DMRs for the subject facility, effective
June 1, 2006. The DMRs up through (and including) May 2006 should be submitted as usual. Be advised
that if and when any wastewater discharge resumes, the discharge must be monitored as per the terms of
the NPDES permit and other applicable rules or statutes. Please keep the Mooresville Regional Office
apprised of any pertinent developments that arise regarding this facility, especially if the facility is re-
activated.
Be advised that while requirements for operator visitation, monitoring and reporting are being waived.
during the period of no discharge, the permittee is still•required to pay the Annual Administering and
Compliance Monitoring Fee that is associated with this and all NPDES permits.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, contact Charles H. Weaver, Jr.

PART I PERMIT COVERAGE
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until
expiration, the Town of Landis is, authorized to discharge stormwater from the municipal
separate storm sewer system (MS4) to receiving waters, Grants Creek, Flat Rock Branch,
Irish Buffalo Creek, Cold Water Creek and their tributaries, within the Yadkin — Pee Dee
River Basin. Such discharge will be controlled, limited and monitored in accordance
with the permittee's Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report, herein
referred to as the Stormwater Plan. The Stormwater Plan includes components of the
permittee's Phase H Municipal NPDES Stormwater Permit Application, NPDES
Stormwater Permit Application Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program
Report and any approved modifications.
2. All discharges authorized herein shall be adequately managed in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this permit. Any other point source discharge to surface waters
of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered
by another permit, authorization, or approval.
3. This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any
other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or
decree.
4. This permit covers activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4
within the jurisdictional area of the permittee as described in the approved local
Stormwater Plan to control potential pollution from the MS4.' The permit- applies to
current and future jurisdictional areas of the permittee, as well as areas that seek coverage
under this permit through inter -local or other similar agreements with permittee.
Agreements. for coverage under this permit must be approved by the Division of Water
Quality, herein referred to as the Division.
5. The Division may deny or revoke coverage under this permit for separate entities and
require independent permit coverage as deemed necessary. In addition, the permittee may
petition the Division to revoke or deny coverage under this permit for specific entities.

Implementation of best management practices consistent with the provisions of the
Stormwater Management Plan constitutes compliance with the standard of reducing
pollutants to the maximum extent practicable. Successive iterations of the Stormwater
Management Plan and other components of this permit will be driven by the objective of
assuring that discharges do not cause or contribute to the violation of water quality
standards, through the expansion and tailoring of management measures within the scope
of the Stormwater Management Plan.
8. The permit authorizes the point source discharge of stormwater runoff from the MS4. In
addition, discharges of non-stormwater are also authorized through the MS4 of the
permittee if such discharges are:
(a) Permitted by, and in compliance with, an NPDES discharge permit including
discharges of process and non -process wastewater, and stormwater associated
with industrial activity; or
(b) Determined to be incidental non-stormwater flows that do not significantly impact
water quality and may include:

consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml 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 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 time/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
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart
during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.

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 122.3)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
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 weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday 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).

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee is applying for renewal of the permit to discharge wastewater. It is
recommended that the permit be renewed as requested. The Town of Landis is currently
purchasing water from Salisbury and the operation of the WIT has decreased over the
past few years. The Town is also concerned about whether they can meet new more
stringent drinking water parameters that may be implemented for their WTP. Therefore
they may take the WTP out of service in the firture. Currently they dispose of
approximately 45 tons of alum sludge cake collected from their drying beds yearly. This
material is transported to an approved landfill.

Landis WTP
Rowan County
Dear Mr. Burgess:
The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on November 13, 2003. Thank you for
submitting this package.
The permit renewal for this facility has been assigned to Charles Weaver. This staff member will
contact you if further information is needed to complete the permit renewal. Please note that the
NPDES Unit has several vacant positions. This staff shortage has lasted for over 4 years and is
delaying all permit renewals. Our remaining permit writers are currently reviewing Authorizations
to Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit modifications and 201 plan updates ahead of
permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in
the statutes which govern our program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NCO027502 the existing requirements in your permit will
remain in effect until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We appreciate
your patience and understanding while we operate with a severely depleted staff. If you have any
additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact Charles Weaver at
[phone], extension 511.

caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment
facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such
technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,.
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time .being properly operated; and

4. Byl2assing_of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) 'Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or. operating
mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the
treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent
loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in
production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be
exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These
bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall
submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an
evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against
a permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment
facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of
equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should
have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass
which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance;
and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.

7. Other Measurements
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. Types of Samples
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 proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(2) 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 present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at
no greater than 1 /24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(3) 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 Sample: Grab 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. Calculation of Means
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 II

6. Concentration Measurement
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 as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
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
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured 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 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 as "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
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

5. Mass/Day Measurements
a . The monthly 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 sampled and/or measured during such
month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found
each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average' in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge' is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during 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 mean found by 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 1 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 pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge' is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/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.

particular importance are Pages 4 and 5 .
Pages 4 and 5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for
your discharge. Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The
section headed "Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or
operation), you must initiate the required monitoring. The monitoring results must be
entered on reporting forms furnished or approved by this Agency. If you have not
received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the forms,
please contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the
"Effluent" reporting form (DEM Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form.
It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed, and the original and one copy be
submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee

Landis WTP
Rowan County
The Division is beginning the second five-year cycle of river basin planning and permit renewals. An
examination of the basin planning schedule has revealed that the timing of permit renewals does not
allow an evenly distributed workload as. first envisioned. This results in problems with the efficiency
and effectiveness of the NPDES program. In an effort improve customer service, and after thorough
review of the water quality issues in your area, the Division is changing the permit renewal schedule for
all NPDES permits in your sub -basin.
This permit modification changes the expiration date of the subject permit to June 30, 1999. Please
find enclosed the revised permit cover page. Insert the new cover page into your permit and discard the
old page. All other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged and in full
effect. This permit modification is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
If you have already submitted a permit renewal application for the subject facility, the Division will
retain the application until your permit is due for renewal. No additional forms or fees will be required.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit modification
are unacceptable to you, you have'the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within
thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be a written petition conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina. General Statutes, filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings,

Subject: Status of NPDES Pel7
Rowan County
Dear Permittee:
After a thorough,review of the Yadkin -Pee Dee River basin management plan and,water quality issues relevant -to
the subject facility, the Division of Water Quality has decided to extend the duration of the subject permit. The
expiration date of your permit will be changed in order to allow the Division to review all NPDES discharge
permits in the Yadkin River Basin during calendar year 1999.
All terms and conditions in the existing permit will apply until'a new expiration date is assigned by the Division.
Extension of existing Effluent Limitations. and Monitoring Requirements does not exempt the subject facility from
the new Enforcement Policy recently enacted by the Division.
Attached to this letter is a copy of the'Public Notice that is being published to announce the planned extension of
your permit. After Public Notice has been made by the Division, the expiration date of your permit will be
changed via a permit modification. No draft permit will be sent out with the Public Notice, as none of.the
conditions in the existing permit will be modified.
The Division appreciates your'patience and understanding to date regarding the rescheduling of the subject
permit. If you have already submitted your renewal application package, no additional fees or documentation will
be required as a result of this change to your permit's expiration date.
If you have questions about this proposed modification or about the permit, renewal process, contact Charles
Weaver of my staff at the telephone number or address listed below.

- NARRATIVE _
ALUM SLUDGE TREATMENT
LANDIS,-NORTH CAROLINA ,
The Town of Landis has been utilizing an alum sludge settling basin
with supernatant being discharged .to' Grant Creek under Permit
No. NC0027502. The basin is filling with alum sludge and in order to
keep excessive solids from being discharged into the stream we
propose to operate the facility in the following manner.
We have sludge drying beds at our wastewater treatment plant that -is
not used. We have a pump at the alum sludge settling basin and an 8-
'inch line that extends from the alum sludge settling basin to the
sludge beds at the no longer used wastewater treatment plant. As the
8-inch line and pump are no longer used, we proposed to pump the
sludge from the settling basins to the sludge drying beds and pump
the filtrate from the drying beds back into the alum sludge settling
basin. Please understand we are not -creating a new discharge
location. The discharge point remains as;.it is now. We believe this
will prevent a problem of solids in the* supernatant that discharge
into Grant Creek.
The dried sludge will be disposed of by a. method approved by the
Division of Environmental Management.
Our existing situation and proposal to improve the near and long term
alum sludge handling method has been discussed with Tim Colson of the
Mooresville office and with Don Safrit of the Permit Section in
Raleigh and Rex Gleason of the Mooresville office by Marshall Staton
of Peirson & Whitman Architects and Engineers. All three officials
believe this is a very satisfactory management plan.

2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Actor "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33
USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly 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 sampled and/or measured during
such month.. It is therefore, an arithmetic. mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days
the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit..
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during 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 mean found by 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 pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as 'Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/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.

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 as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
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
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured 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 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 as "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 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. . 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 II

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.
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 proportional to the. rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2) 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 present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment
system, or
(3) 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 Sample: Grab 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. Calculation of Means
J
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).

Part II

a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or
operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to
the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and
permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the
absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by
delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to
be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
These bypasses are not subject.to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1), Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before thedate of the bypass;
including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24,hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action
against a permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injuryor severe property
damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal

periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup
equipment should have been installed. in the exercise of reasonable engineering
judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment
downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset means anexceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors_
beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance
to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities,
inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper
operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations if the. requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are meta No determination made during administrative'review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an, action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other. relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this

Subject: NPDES Permit No. NCO027502
Landis WTP Facility
Rowan County, NC
Dear Mr. Beaver:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. `NC0027502 was
issued on August 13, 1993 for the discharge of wastewater to the
surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of
this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and
the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it
is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular
importance is Page 4.
Page 4 sets forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge(s). Your discharge(s) must not
exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your
discharge (or operation), you must initiate .the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the
reporting forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not
received these forms, they should. be arriving shortly. If you fail
to receive .the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as
possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting
form (DEM Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form.
It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed, and the
original and one copy be submitted as required.
The remaining Parts of the Permit set forth definitions,
general conditions and special conditions applicable to the
operation of wastewater. treatment facilities and/or discharge(s).
The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event
ofnoncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc.
Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater
treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater treatment

facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment
facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or
discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment
facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES
Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to
Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A civil
penalty of up to $10,000 per violation plus criminal penalties may
be assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that you
are unable to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit,
you should contact this Office immediately. A Consent Order may be
necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a
five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed. Renewal
requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180 days
prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of
your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also
note that NPDES Permits are not transferable. If you, as the
Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that
the Permit be rescinded.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to
advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read the
Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville if
you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to
providing any assistance.

Subject: Renewal Notice
NPDES Permit NCO027502
Landis WTP
Rowan County
Dear Permittee:
Your NPDES permit expires on May 31, 2004. Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e))
regulations require that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. If
you have already mailed your renewal application, you may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than December 3,
2003. Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties
may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after May 31, 2004, the current permit must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater
without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1; unpermitted discharges of wastewater may result
in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Bob Sledge of the
Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 547. You may also contact the Mooresville Regional
Office at [phone] to begin the rescission process.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must submit with
the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact Valery Stephens at the telephone number or e-mail
address listed below.
Sincerely,
Charles H. Weaver, Jr.
