Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average 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. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass 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. 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 Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. 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 Version 1110912011 i NPDES Permit Standard Conditions' I Page 2 of 18 (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-h6ur 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 { ➢ 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 detention 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. j 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. Daily 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. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also "Composite Sample," above.) 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. 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).

For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Version 1110912011 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge during that sampling period. Monthly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe properly damage 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 excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements.

I NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 1 of 18 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS SectionA. Def"tions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. YWeek Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average 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. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass 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. Calendar Dav 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 Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. 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 Version 512009 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 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 2 hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method. may only he used in situations wliere effiuerrt 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. ➢ Pernuttees 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 detention 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. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interniption 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. D & D ischar e The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonabl represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in twits 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 arithr lletic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2) 1 D& Maximtun 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 pecified in the permit. 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 pararneter (s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).

(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. Version 612012003 NPDES Pern t Requirements' Page 2 of 16 In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per liour. 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 24-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 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. Daily 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 fora 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 �pecified 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). DWO 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.

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 PanI 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 Pan 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 Pan 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. Iris, 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 N. • � � � a' a � u •aya � a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the �um of the commntrations of all daily discharges sarnpled 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 corrtt for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected dtnng 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 suml of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendars week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided�y the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic can 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 identi red as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal colifonn 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 concentrationof 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 �y, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of PartL f. The,"quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a c endar 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 t ough March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. . Part II Page 3 of 14 a. Flow, (MOD): 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 dining 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. e. 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. WR, M. P.w• 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'betwcen 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 1i24 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. 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 0). — 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 Bows. 10. Qjiendar Dav 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 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. � . _ p • M 7 A hazardous substance means any substance designated under. 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act The perrnittee.must comply with all conditions of this permit Any permit noncom�Iiance constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is.grounds for enforcement action; fob permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application. 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. Part II Page 2 of 14 6. Concentration Measurement 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 1 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-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 Page 3 of 14I 7. Other Measurements a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average tlom monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement is a measure of flow taken at the time of both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. averaged during the when 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. S. 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 o� 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 wits 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 collecti n 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 times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. Part][[ Page 4 of 14 10. Calendar Day 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 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 11.

Bygassing 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.

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 (0 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. Part II Page 9 of 1, 5. LJ12sets a. Definition. "Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors reasonable control of the permittee. An upset . does not include noncompliance tf caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequat facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless'or improper operation. b. Effect of an upset. temporary beyond the the extent e treatment 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 demons 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 permit. (4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part 11, B. 2. of this permit. d. Burden of proof.

Spray Irrigation: Insufficient area available. b. Connect to regional sewer system: Although sewer is not yet available to the site, the applicant should be required to contact the local municipality (city of Salisbury) to obtain some idea of when sewer service may be available in this area. C. Subsurface: There is no indication in the MRO files that this option was properly evaluated prior to the issuance of an NPDES Permit. Considering the fact the WWT facility suffers from hydraulic underloading, on - site disposal may be an option. The permittee should address this alternative prior to Permit reissuance. d. Other disposal options: N/A PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The WWT facilities serving the WSRC suffer from deterioration and infrequent usage. These facilities are only used on a seasonal basis (warm weather months), and even then do not receive sufficient food (wastewater) to effectively maintain the organisms in an activated sludge process, hence the facility's "washed out" appearance. Alternative disposal methods should be examined (see Part III, No. 4) and a conclusion drawn that no other method of disposal exists other than a surface water discharge. Due to the structural damage observed at this facility, the Permit should be reissued containing a condition that the permittee be required to conduct an Engineering Economic Analysis (EEP.) within 90 days of the date of Permit reissuance. Pending receipt and approval of the WLP_, it is recommended that the Permit be reissued. Upon receipt of the completed EEp, the results will be reviewed and a decision made as to what action (if any) the Division will require of the permittee.

Swim & Racquet Club, Inc. NPDES Permit Number 0042439 Rowan County, N.C. Dear Sir, ' The following is in reference to your request for a narrative "~ description of the sludge management plan for the subject .-wastewater treatment facility. There are no sludge handling treatment units on -site, nor is the sludge discharged to the receiving waters. Hydrologic, Inc. contracts the pumping of excess solids as indicated by the increasing MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids). The Operator in Responsible Charge or on -site operator makes this assessment based on MLSS lab results. As the MLSS increases beyond the recommended concentration, solids are wasted from the activated sludge system. The contract hauler takes the waste activated sludge to a local municipality which accepts such or to another wastewater facility which has experienced an upset and is in need of reseeding. Should you have any questions regarding the pumping and disposal of sludge for this facility, please contact: HydroLogic, Inc. at 704-258-3746. «:Od-w>e Sincerely Jim Delpiano =?�•-, Westside Swim & Racquet Clubs,'.

It is recommended that the permit be renewed as requested. Please note that the comminuter is not working and that conversations with the contract operator indicate that this is not needed for proper operation of the facility. A request for a descriptive narrative of condition of the facility including a confirmation from the permit holder that the facility is in adequate operating condition might be requested at this time. This facility continues to decline in overall condition. Also, a back flow prevention device should be added to the facility. During non -operational months flooding of the facility occurs. Permit conditions should address the non -active months of the facility and insure that wastewater materials will not be deposited in the receiving stream. The MRO is reviewing several facilities that become dormant during dif�nt times of the year and recommends that some special operational facilities during non-ope: that address maintenance of these Signature o eport Preparer r6 /'� e,—. o.

VAN DER VAART Secretary S. JAY ZIMMERMAN RECEIVED/NCDENRtVV AUG 2 9 2016 WQROS MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently published the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule. The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to report information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports. The rule does not change what information is required from facilities. It only changes the method by which information is provided (i.e., electronic rather than paper -based). EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period. The two phases of the rule, and their key milestones, are: Phase 1—Starting on December 21, 2016, regulated entities that are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) will begin submitting these reports electronically. If you are currently reporting your DMR data electronically using eDMR, then you simply.need to continue reporting in the same way as you are now. The key change is that, starting on December 21, 2016, electronic reporting of DMRs will be required, instead of voluntary. • Phase 2—Starting on December 21, 2020,:regulated entities that are required to submit certain other NPDES reports will begin submitting these reports electronically. Reports covered in the second phase include Notices of Intent to discharge in compliance with an NPDES general permit, Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports, and a number of other NPDES program reports. Incorporating Electronic Reporting Requirements into NPDES Permits The NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule requires authorized NPDES programs to incorporate electronic reporting requirements into NPDES permits beginning December 21, 2015. Under the new rule, the electronic reporting process supersedes the paper reporting process. According to our files, your NPDES permit became effective after November 2013, and should contain the requirement to electronically report your Discharge Monitoring Reports using NC DWR's eDMR system. In addition to requiring "permittees to report information electronically, the rule also requires permittees to identify the initial recipient for the NPDES electronic reporting data [see 40 CFR 122.41(I)(9)].

I am pleased to report that Westside Swim and Racquet Club (NPDES Permit No. NC0042439) has successfully addressed the issues with our waste treatment plant. Consolidated Contractors of Iredell, Inc., operated by Mr. Jeff Moore, concluded work on Friday, Oct. 30, 2009. The following repairs were made: 1) Drained and pumped all liquids and waste water from the tank (taken away by a septic tank company); 2) Cleaned all sides and bottom for patch welds and installed a liner for leak proofing; 3) Installed PVC piping to replace rusted and decayed cast-iron pipes; 4) Relocated the dechlorination unit to a location just outside of the plant, between the plant and the creek; the unit is below the ground level. 5) Re -adjusted the chlorinator into the proper position. On behalf of the Westside Swim and Racquet Club Board,'I again apologize for the earlier violations and the length of time that it took to get the repairs done. The bid process was lengthy and the rainy weather this fall was also an issue. The pool has been closed since Labor Day and there has been no flow since that time. I feel good about the repairs that have been done and I will be glad to meet Mr. Wes Bell for ari inspection of the work at his request. I also look forward to working with your regional office for years to come. Si cerely, ennis Davidson President Cc:..

Krebs Surface Water Protection Regional Supervisor NCDENR Mooresville Regional Office 610 East Center Ave., Suite 301 Mooresville, NC 28115 Dear Mr. Krebs: AUG - G 2009 This letter is in response to your letter dated July 22, 2009, concerning the Notice of Violation for Westside Swim and Racquet Club (NPDES Permit No. NC0042439). The violations stem from the Secondary Clarifier and Dechlorination sections of the compliance evaluation inspection report, conducted by Mr. Wes Bell on July 9, 2009. The severe rust and deterioration of the sidewall of the clarifier and the effluent pipe for the clarifier will be addressed by repairs in the very near future, as will the removal and reinstallation of the dechlorination unit (which was improperly installed). A representative of Kemp Inc., of Sherrills Ford, NC, came to the facility on July 14, 2009 to prepare an estimate. That estimate was received on July 27 at the price of $8,609. The scope of work listed in the estimate includes: -- Labor, materials and equipment to complete the work. -- Cut out the existing tank divider wall, install angles and a new 1/4" steel wall, welded to the tank shell. -- Excavate and install a concrete vault in the effluent line leading to the creek. Modify the piping and move the existing dechlorination tablet dispenser to the vault. The Westside Swim and Racquet Club Board of Directors, of which I am president, has decided to obtain additional bids for the above work, as we operate on a very small budget margin. However, .the.board indeed understands the seriousness of this situation and vows to move forward with repairs. Additionally, I met with a representative of the Rowan County Health Department on July 30, 2009, to look into a possible septic tank system. With the entire lot being part of a flood plain, that prospect does not appear promising, leading us back to the above work again. I appreciate the help and advice that Mr. Bell has provided and assure you that work will begin soon. On behalf of the Westside Swim and Racquet Club Board, I apologize for the violations but look forward to correcting them. I will keep your office posted on the developments. Thank you.

TOTAL AMOUNT DUE . Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B- 282.1(b), which are: (1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violations; (2) The duration and gravity of the violations; (3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; (4) The cost of rectifying the damage; (5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; (6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally; (7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and (8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures. Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following: 1. Submit payment of the penalty: Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form).

Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered- (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B- 282. 1 (b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding case status, directions for payment, and provision for fin-ther appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director.

As president of,WesW4e--- Swim and.Racquet,Club located at, 630.Neel Road, Salisbury, NC, it is my duty to respond to your letter. As far as, deficiencies. noted in the record keeping and laboratory, I would have to defer to Statesville Analytical Inca This company handle's these areas for Westside Swim Club. As far as operations and maintenance, "the dividing wall between the clarifier and the chlorine contact chamber was severely corroded and deteriorated." I have spoken with Wes Bell about this problem and the Westside board of directors are concerned. We are currently looking into other options (septic tank, holding tank) before settling on repairing the dividing wall. As for "the' compliitrice` schedule section, I`am'sorry to report that' we just'iiiisseil this 'one. Not'trying to' shirk'my,-responsib'ili$ies,'but with all of us being volunteers with this - organization, several breakdowns occurred: The permit never reached me in 2004 (it went to our PO Box and another board member failed. -to pass on the -permit -to me). When I called Raleigh in 2006 and asked for a new one to be mailed (was reminded by Statesville Analytical), I read, the bolded line:.that read "This final permit includes no major changes from the draft permit I simply filed the permit at that time without noticing the dechlorination system information. I have submitted a Fast Track application for th&dechlor unit to be installed. It has been approved and- stamped by a licensed engineer and a plumber has been contracted. -'to begin work as soon as the application is approved. I am sincere when I say how embarrassed and upset I was when I found out from Statesville Analytical on June 12 that 'we were non -compliant. There was never any malicious intent to try and get around any laws or rules by this organization. It was simply an oversight and again; Westside'Swim Club is"sorry for this large mistake' Being a non-profit or`ganizatiOn that"barely gets by each year, �I'appeal'io you; arid,others that:if fines°must"be'`e-ollected; could, they be reduced at all;"or in`the,least �could"they°be paid in installments? In addition, while we are going to move quickly with the dechlor unit when approved, our long term project may be a septic tank. When the pool was built in 1978, the land did not perk. We are going to move toward a study of our soil in the areas around the property in order to see if anything has changed in 29 years. Thank you.
