PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events.
3/Week
Samples are collected three tunes per week on three separate calendar days.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
Annual 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 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. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method
may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following
restrictions also apply:
> Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
Version 10/10/2007

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page2of16
➢ 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 X hours [X = days detention time] over a 24-hour period. Effluent
samples shall be collected at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-
hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
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 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 122.2)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" for conventional and other non -toxicant parameters. NOTE: Permittees may not
submit a "daily average" calculation [for determining compliance with permit limits] for toxicants. See the relevant
Federal effluent guideline[s] for the appropriate calculation interval.
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).
DWQ or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
Facility Closure
The cessation of wastewater treatment at -a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage
under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1.
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).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
Version 10/10/2007

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 3of16
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.
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, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
Quarterly Average (concentration limit)
The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter.
Severe property 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 Clean Water Act.
Upset
An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with
permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by
operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive
maintenance, or careless or improper operation.

Dear Mr. Rhinehart:
William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary
SAID NATURAL RESOURCES
IIIOORES}d I::,L OFFICE
JUN 1 3 2005
WATER -MIRY SECTIO
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to
the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement
between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as
subsequently amended).
The Division has reviewedyour comments as submitted in an April7, 2005 e-mail communication to Mr.
Bob Sledge of our staff, requesting to have the effluent monitoring requirement for fecal coliform during
the summer months reduced from daily (including weekends and holidays) to; weekly: While the
Divisionunderstands your concerns regarding the increased costs of monitoring and the increased burden
placed upon park staff that will conduct the monitoring, our motivation in insisting on this requirement is
to ensure that water quality is protected in Lake Norman, thereby protecting the health of the lake's
recreational users. Increased oversight of wastewater treatment facilities should have its greatest benefit
on weekend and holidays, when use of the lake is at its highest and (typically) wastewater operational
oversight has been at its lowest level. This requirement is being placed upon all package plant
wastewater treatment facilities discharging into Lake Norman.
In acknowledgment of your concerns and the facility's demonstrated good record of permit compliance,
the Division will agree to revisit (upon request) the matter of fecal coliform monitoring following the
submittal of two full seasons of daily monitoring data.
In light of the preceding response, this final permit has not been changed from the draft permit sent to
you on March 30, 2005. The permit effluent limit for total residual chlorine will become effective on
January 1, 2007 (18 months following the effective date of the permit).
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit 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 in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is
made, this decision shall be final and binding.

As stated in the March 30 letter and discussed in previous communication with the Division, the subject
facility is seen to have a viable option other than direct discharge for the disposal of treated wastewater
(connection to the park's spray irrigation facility). The Division expects that this option will be acted
upon during this permit cycle and does not foresee any further reissuance of this permit following that
time.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may
require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal
requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits
required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or
Local governmental permit that may be required. If you have any questions concerning this permit,
please contact Bob Sledge at telephone number [phone], extension 547.

Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
Annual 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

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.

In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems
having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at
intervals evenly spaced over the 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 specified in the
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall.be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other

Iredell County, NC
Dear Mr. Burns:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0062448 was issued on November
29, 2000 for the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State from your
facility. The purpose of this letter is to advise youofthe 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 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 may
be required for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our Raleigh
Office. It is imperative that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent enforcement
action or possible revocation of your permit.
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 of nonc

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 $25,000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties)
may be assessed for such violations. -If you find at anytime that you are unable to comply
with the terms and conditions of the Permit, you should contact this Office immediately. A
Special Order by Consent (SOC) 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
automatically transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you
should request that the Division of Water Quality rescind the Permit or request that DWQ
reissue the Permit to another party, if necessary.
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 ifyou have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing
any assistance.

Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for the subject permit. Accordingly, we are
forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
Based on comments made by the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) staff concerning the draft permit, Part I. A. (2.)
has been revised. The MRO comments included information on two non -discharging wastewater disposal systems that have
already been evaluated by your facility. The Wastewater Management Plan now required by Part I. A. (2.) must specifically
address why these two alternatives (drip irrigation and ground absorption) were not pursued further. Based on the information
provided by the MRO it is unlikely that your permit can be renewed again in 2005, given the availability of other disposal options.
Remember that the Wastewater Management Plan must be submitted to the Division's NPDES Unit no later than June 29, 2001.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit 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 in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the
Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is
made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division.may require
modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other
permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the
Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required. If you have any
questions concerning this permit, please contact Charles Weaver at telephone number [phone], extension 511.

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEM or "the Division"
Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, Health'and Natural "Resources.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or. "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 "maximumdaily 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

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 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 1 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.
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 1 of the permit.
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.

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 sample's collectedat equaltime 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 thine
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 thanonce 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
evenlyspaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time
ofthe 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 setof valuesis 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 thegeometricmean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one
(1)..
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.

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.

The facility must notify the public of untreated wastewater spills. Wastewater facility owners or
operators must issue a press release after a discharge to surface waters of 1,000 gallons within 48 hours
of first knowledge of the spill by the owner/operator. The press release must be issued to "all
electronic and print news media outlets that provide general coverage in the counties (Iredell, Catawba,
Lincoln and Mecklenburg) where the discharge occurred." A copy of the press release must be
maintained for one year by the owner/operator. This press release is required in addition to the permit
requirement of contacting the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ).
If a discharge of 15,000 gallons or more reaches surface water, a public notice is required in addition to
the press release. The public notice must be placed in a newspaper having general circulation in the
County in which the discharge occurred, and the county immediately downstream. At a minimum the
notice should be published in the newspaper of general circulation in Iredell, Catawba, Lincoln and
Mecklenburg Counties. If a discharge of 1,000,000 gallons of wastewater or more reaches surface
waters,. the DWQ regional office must be contacted to determineinwhat additional counties, if any, a
public notice must be published. A copy of these public notices and proof of publication must be sent
to the DWQ to the attention of "PERCS Unit" at the letterhead address within 30 days of publication.
The minimum content of the notice is the location of the discharge, estimated volume, water body
affected and steps taken to prevent future discharges.

Mr. Sledge:
•
-. On behalf of the NC Division of Parks and Recreation (DPR) and Lake Norman State park, I would like to
request that a NCDWQ chlorine limit requirement on the park's two package waste water treatment plants b
delayed. The two plants are the (1) Lake Norman State Park - Camping Area (NC0062448) and the (2) Lake
Norman State Park - Swimming Area (NC0062430). Both of theseplant's permits were renewed in June of 2005
with a requirement to reduce the total residual chlorine limit to a daily maximum of 28ug/L by January 1, 2007.
17PR has determined that it would be too costly to install de -chlorination units on both of these plants and we are
currently working with a designer to eliminate the need for both plants by installing a sub -surface system at the
Swimming Area and a lift station/forced main at the Campground; which would transport the wastewater to a
new spray irrigation facility.
We hone to have this work comvleted by the end of 2007 at a latest. The designer isalready under contract
and should be finished by the end of November 2006. It will take about 1-2 months to have the design approved
by DOI and SCO. The construction, bid process will take 1-2 months and the actual cpnstnicti.ort will take about
4-5 months. With all of.this in mind and knowing the snags that state construction prcdepts occasionally run into,
I would like to request an extension of 18 months from January 2007 for this requkiement to be effective.

Dear Mr. Rhinehart:
Thank you for your letter of October 5, 2006 requesting an extension of the compliance schedule for
implementation of the Total Residual' Chlorine effluent limit at the two LNSP facilities. Your letter
stated that you are in the beginning stages of a process that will lead to the elimination of each of the
discharges. The timeline you provided for completionof the projects suggested that an additional
eighteen months be added to the compliance schedule.
The Division of Water Quality is agreeable to extending the schedule as you have requested. However,
as we have discussed on the phone, such a change to permit conditions is deemed a major modification
to the terms of the permit, and therefore requires the payment of a permit modification fee to cover the
costs of the action.
Please remit the total amount of $430.00 (a $215.00 fee for each facility) to the Division of Water
Quality as payment of these fees. If payment is to be made via an interagency transfer of funds, it is
requested that your staff contact Ms. Fran McPherson of our fiscal staff to coordinate the exchange. Her
phone number is [phone], extension 210.
Once payment of the fees is received, the permit modification process can move forward. I'll keep you
updated as to the developments in these matters. Please call me if you have any questions at (919) 733-
5083, extension 547, or e-mail me at [e-mail].

3. Important SOC/JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: This facility is neither under an SOC
nor is one being considered at this time. If a residual chlorine limit is added to the permit
at renewal, then a compliance schedule will be necessary in order for the permittee to
construct additional WWT facilities to effect compliance.
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation
Spray Irrigation: Sufficient area exists within a reasonable distance of the existing
WWTP for some type of non -discharge option (either spray irrigation, drip
--' irrigation, or subsurface disposal). There is also an existing spray irrigation system
-that serves the Park's swininthig area that may have sufficient capacity to accept
the additional wastestream from the campground area. (See Part IV below). -
b. Connect to regional sewer system: None presently available to the site.
c. Subsurface: Sufficient area exists within a reasonable distance of the existing
WWTP for some type of non -discharge option (either spray irrigation, drip
irrigation, or subsurface disposal). See Part IV below.
PART TV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Lake Norman State Park (LNSP) has requested renewal of the subject Permit. There have
been no changes and/or modifications to this facility or the Permit since the Permit was last
renewed.
During the term of the current NPDES permit, LNSP constructed a drip irrigation WWT
system to serve their nearby public, swimming area. Initially, this drip irrigation system was only
designed to treat the wastewater from the swimming area, however, actual wastewater flows have
averaged much lower than normal, and LNSP is considering connecting the wastestream from the
campground jnto the existing drip irrigation system.- Budget constraints within the Division of
Parks and Recreation (DPR) have put this sewer connection on hold until funds are allocated for
construction of a pump station and force main.
With increasing interest by the public in the discharge of wastewater to water bodies that
receive considerable use such as swimming, skiing, and other water "contact" sports, it is
important for the Division to promote and encourage the elimination of discharging WWTPs
- wherciftinAlsai.arie -a1ternatiVeS-:ar'e a-Vailible the CaieOf the LNSP 6thripgiciund, riheie
appears to be a non -discharge available that would eliminate the discharge to surface waters. The
campground WWTP (and the other extended aeration WWTP located at LNSP that serves the
swimming area) have always had some difficulty in maintaining an adequate biomass due to the
inconsistent loading they receive. This problem will likely continue until all wastestreams are
eventually connected to non -discharge disposal systems.

Page Four
For this reason, the staff of this Office recommends that the renewed NPDES permit
- . contain a condition and/or time schedule that will require the DPR to eliminate the existing
discharge from the campground area WWTP at LNSP during the term of the renewed permit
utilizing one of the available non -discharge options listed in Part III, No. 4 above. Considering
- that a_TRC limit will most likely be included in the NPDES permit upon renewal, DPR personnel
may choose to go ahead and eliminate the existing WWTP -rather than budget funds to add the
necessary dechlorination facilities. In any case, this Office recommends that the DPR be advised
that the-NPDES permit for this facility will only be issued for one more term, at which time all
wastewater generated from the campground area bathroom facilities must be disposed of m some
other approved manner. With increasing mterest by the public in the discharge of wastewater to
water bodies that receive considerable use such as swimming, skiing, and other water "contact"
sports, it is important for the Division to promote and encourage the elimination of discharging
WWTPs -when non -discharge alternatives are available. In this case, there appears to be at least
two non -discharge options available that would allow for elimination of the subject facility. The
renewed permit should also be conditioned with a requirement that the DPR submit an annual
progress report on the status of the elimination of this facility. This report 'should be due on or
before June 1st of each year.
Pending receipt and approval of the draft permit, it is recommended that the Permit be
renewed and conditioned as noted above.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Duke Power State Park (DPSP) has requested renewal of the subject Permit. There have
been no changes and/or modifications to this facility or the Permit since the Permit was last
renewed.
During the term of the current permit, Division of Parks and Recreation (DPR) staff
retained an engineer who designed drip irrigation WWT systems to serve the DPSP camping and
swimming areas. The construction of these drip systems would have allowed DPSP to eventually
eliminate the discharge from both WWTPs located at this park. Unfortunately, bids for
construction of these drip systems came in very high, and DPR staff chose to hold off on
construction. During the period the DPR were obtaining permits for the drip systems, additional
soils work was performed in DPSP by a licensed soil scientist who found that there were
sufficient soils available to support the installation of ground absorption WWT systems. DPR
staff, however, have chosen not to explore this alternative since considerable funds were
expended for the engineer and his work on the drip irrigation systems, and they did not want to
spend any more money exploring other options. With increasing interest by the public in the
discharge of wastewater to water bodies that receive considerable use such as swimming, skiing,
and other water "contact" sports, it is important for the Division to promote and encourage the
elimination of discharging WWTPs when non -discharge alternatives are available. The two (2)
WWTPs at this Park have always had some difficulty in maintaining an adequate biomass due to
the inconsistent loading they receive. For these reasons, the staff of this Office recommends that
the renewed Pemit contain a condition and/or time schedule that will require the DPR to
eliminate the existing discharges at the DPSP during the term of the renewed permit utilizing one
of the available non -discharge options listed in Part III, No. 4 above.
Pending receipt and approval of the WLA, it is recommended that the Permit be renewed
and conditioned as note above.

Subject: NPDES Permit Renewal Application
Permit NC0062448
Duke Power State Park WWTP
Iredell County
The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on February 28, 2000. Thank
you for submitting this package.
The permit renewal for this facility will be assigned to a member of the NPDES Unit staff.
That 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 a year 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 NC0062448, 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 me at
[phone], extension 538.

SUBJECT: Late Submittal for Renewal of NPDES Permits NC0062448, NC0062430
I realized in early January, 2000 that I had not received a renewal package from the Division of
Water Quality for the NPDES permits mentioned above. I contacted you by telephone on January
13, 2000 to apply for the renewal packages and learned that the Division of Water Quality had
sent the renewal packages to the wrong address (reference attached letter).
Since the renewal package was sent to the wrong address and I did submit the attached package
in a timely fashion once received, I am requesting that no enforcement action be taken as
stipulated in Part II, Section 10 of the NPDES Permit.

Subject: Renewal of NPDES Permit NC0062448
State Park Campground
IREDELL County
The subject permit expires on June 30, 2000. North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)
requires that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than
January 2, 2000. Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date will result in a civil assessment of at least
$250.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after June 30, 2000 (or if continuation of the permit is desired), the
current permit must be renewed. Operation of wastewater, treatment works or continuation of discharge after
June 30, 2000 would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and could 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 Robert
Farmer of the Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 531. 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 me. My telephone

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "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.

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 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/of 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.
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.

PartII
Page 3 of 14
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).

Part II
Page 4 of 14
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.
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.

January 2. 2000. Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date will result in a civil assessment of at least
6250.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after June 30, 2000 (or if continuation of the permit is desired), the
current permit must be renewed. Operation of wastewater treatment works or continuation of discharge after
June 30. 2000 would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and could 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 Robert
Farmer of the Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 531. 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 me. My telephone
number. fax number and e-mail address are listed at the bottom of this page.

a. Spray Irrigation:. (see 4c. below)
b. Connect to regional sewer system: None available.
c. Subsurface:. Sufficient area exists within Duke Power
State`Park to eliminate both of the Park's WWT
facilities utilizing some type of nondischarge option
(either spray irrigation, drip irrigation, or
subsurface). •
The Park Service has retained the services of an
engineer to design a suitable non -discharge treatment,
system. An initial soils evaluation revealed marginally
acceptable soils for a conventional septic tank WWT
system. Additional soils work may be necessary as well
as evaluation of the feasibility of spray irrigation or
drip irrigation.
P T IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
11 Duke Power State Park (DPSP) has requested the renewal of
t£e subject Permit. There have been no changes and/or
mId ifications to. this facility since the Permit was last renewed.
D1,SP is in the process of evaluating several non -discharge
o:jtions with hopes of ultimately eliminating this WWT facility.
It is recommended that upon reissuance., the Permit contain
B"J limitations (BOD5-15 mg/1, NH3 as N-4 mg/1) to be effective
i�iinediately after the upcoming Permit term (5 years from Permit
r issuance).
Pending receipt and approval of the WLA, it is recommended
t=;:at the Permit be renewed as requested.

Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0062448 was
issued on June 26, 1995 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
of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc.
Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater

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 (and/or 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

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health
and Natural Resources.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "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.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
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.
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 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.

Part II
Page 3 of 14
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.
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 systemin 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.
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.

Part II
Page 4 of 14
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.
10. Calendar Div
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. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant
to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water
Act.
SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. Duty to Comply
The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance
constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is ground for enforcement action; for
permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit
renewal application.
a. The permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under
section 307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants within the time provided in
the regulations that establish these standards or prohibitions, even if the permit has not
yet been modified to incorporate the requirement.
b. Any person who violates a permit condition is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed
$25,000 per day for each violation. Any person who negligently violates any permit
condition is subject to criminal penalties of $2,500 to $25,000 per day of violation, or
imprisonment for not more than 1 year, or both. Any person who knowingly violates
permit conditions is subject to criminal penalties of $5,000 to $50,000 per day of

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;

property damage;

Part II
Page 9 of 14
(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 an exceptional 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. Affect 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.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This Office is in receipt of an application from Mr.
William J. Burns, Park Superintendent, Duke Power State Park,
concerning a request for an increase in flow at the subject

Page Three
facility. It appears that this facility has been incorrectly
permitted in that the existing wastewater treatment plant has a
design capacity of 0.015 MGD, however, because this facility
normally averages less than 0.001 MGD, the Permit has carried a
flow limitations of 0.001 MGD. Duke Power State Park,
therefore, desires to have the Permit modified to reflect the
actual design capacity of the wastewater treatment plant.
The Mooresville Regional Office has reviewed this request
and recommends that it be approved. A revised Waste Load
Allocation has been received in this Office and with the
exception of a 5.0 mg/1 D. O. limitation, no new parameters are
recommended.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The wastewater treatment facility serving the Duke Power
State Park (DPSP) camping area appeared to be well operated and
maintained during the site inspection. This facility suffers
from fluctuating and often times inadequate organic loading which
creates operational problems. Mr. Burns indicated that a
non -discharge alternative (ground absorption) was being explored,
and depending on DPSP budget allowances may be a possibility
during fiscal year 1991-92.
It should be noted that the actual discharge location
denotes a change from the previously permitted location. (See
map).
Pending final approval of a WLA, it is recommended that the
Permit be renewed.

Dear Mr. Burns:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC 0062448 was
issued on December 17, 1990 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 of noncompliance, 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 ofthe 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.

SECTION E. DEFINITION
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development.

Part II
Page 11 of 14
3. EMC:
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "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 sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples 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 "Daily Average" or "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 samples 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 sample 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 12 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
samples 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" or
"Daily 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. It is identified as "Daily Maximum"
under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than forfecal 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.

Part II
Page 13 of 14
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.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time
of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which
case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samples less than_four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
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.
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
Page. 14 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. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section-307(a)(1),of
the Clean Water Act.

permit is the 24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is
determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows
recorded during the calendar month.
g. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of
values is the summation of the individual values divided by
the number of individual values.
h. 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).
i. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples
collected at equal intervals and combined proportional to
flow, a sample continuously collected proportionally to
flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time intervals. If a
composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent
grab samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals
between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than
hourly except where the detention time of the wastewater in
the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which case, the
interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number
of hours than the detention time in number of days;
provided, however, in no case may the time between effluent
grab samples be greater than six hours nor the number of
grab samples less than four during any discharge period of
24 hours or less.
j. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples
collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes;
the grab sample can be taken manually.

.Part II - DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED/EXISTING TREATMENT FACILITIES
1. Existing Facilities: Each of the wastewater treatment plants are
package extended aeration facilities, consisting of a bar screen
(manual), an aeration basin (diffused air), a clarifier and an effluent
chlorinator.
The facilities treat domestic wastewater generated by campers,
swimmers, and other transient park visitors.
Part III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMEENDATIONS
1. Performance Evaluation: Whereas these facilities have not been
previously permitted, there is no existing data with which to evaluate
plant performance. A waste load allocation should be requested for
each of the existing discharges. The existing facilities should be
capable of achieving consistent compliance with secondary effluent
limitations.
2. .0 & M Evaluation: Although the facilities have not been properly
permitted in the past, it appears that park personnel are very
conscientious about keeping the facilies in good working order.
3. Recommendations and/or Special Conditions: It is recommended that one
NPDES Permit be issued which contains limitations for the two (2)
discharge outlets as may be determined to be appropriate by Technical
Services.

Dear Mr. Rhinehart:
This letter is being drafted in response to your November 20, 2007 correspondence to Ms. Marcia
Allocco in our Mooresville Regional Office. I apologize for the tardy response to your request.
In your letter, you asked for clarification with regard to the effective date of the total residual chlorine
(TRC) limit at each of the subject wastewater treatment plants. Each of them received an extension
from the effective dates established in their 2005 permit renewals (January 1, 2007). When these
modifications were requested, Lake Norman State Park asked for an additional eighteen months until
implementation of. the TRC limit in order that it might connect the two facilities to a non -discharging
wastewater treatment system within the park and eliminate the discharges to the lake. The modifications
became effective January 1, 2007 and stated the TRC limit would become effective eighteen months
from that date. Unfortunately, in both the cover letter and the body of the permit for both WWTPs, I
included explicit references to July 1, 2009 as being the new effective date for the TRC limit.
The inclusion of the July 1, 2009 effective date was a regrettable error on my part that was compounded
by its repeated use within the permit documents. However, consistent with the terms of the permit
modification requests and the statements included in the permit documents, the intent of the Division of
Water Quality was to extend the effective date only until July 1, 2008 (an eighteen month extension). I
communicated this to you in our October 25, 2007 telephone conversation and told you DWQ would be
basing compliance determinations on the July 1, 2008 date: At the time, you told me you were
optimistic that connection to the non -discharge system andelimination of the discharges would occur by
that date.
I have attached corrected versions of the effluent limitations and monitoring pages for each permit.
Please remove the old pages and insert these in their respective permits.

Dear Mr. Rhinehardt:
William G. RossJr., Secretary
Alan W. Klimek,, P.E., Director
rrrn
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft
very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from your current permit:
at 31""
• A Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) daily maximum limit has been added. Since the issuance of
the existing permit, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission has adopted
rules that establish a water quality standard for TRC. As a result, since April 1, 2003, permits
issued for all facilities that add chlorine as a part of their processes include a TRC limit. The
limit will not take effect until 18 months following the effective date of the permit to allow the
facility time to construct additional treatment works in order to achieve compliance with the
new limit. The attached memo should help explain the permitting policy.
• A term has been added requiring you to provide annual reports to the Mooresville Regional
Office regarding your progress toward choosing another option of treatment and disposal for
wastewater generated at this site, and eliminating the existing discharge. It is the Division's
intent to not issue permits for this facility beyond the period of coverage for this permit
(anticipated to expire March 31, 2010).
• In response to comments -received from people who live near Lake Norman and use the lake for
recreation, special conditions have been added to all permits for package plants that discharge into the
lake. Upon the effective date of the permit, the facility will be required to monitor the effluent for
Fecal Coliform seven (7) days a week (including weekends and holidays) during the summer months
(April — November). The minimum monitoring frequency will remain as weekly during the winter
months.
• In the interest of public health, a special condition has been added, enumerating specific notification
procedures that must be followed in the event of a discharge of undertreated or untreated wastewater.

TO:
NPDES Unit Staff
FROM: David A. Goodrich
NPDES Unit Supervisor
SUBJECT: Total Residual Chlorine Policy for NPDES permits
Every three years the State is required by the Clean Water Act to review its surface water quality standards and
classifications, determine if changes are needed and to make any necessary changes. This review process is referred to
as the "triennial review." Public hearings were held to solicit comments for the 2000-2003 Triennial Review of surface
water quality standards during the summer of 2002. The Hearing Officer's recommendations were presented before
the state's Environmental Management Commission on October 10, 2002.
The Hearing Officer's recommended changes included modifications to the existing standards for Arsenic, Cyanide,
Methylene Blue Active Substances (MBAS) and Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). The Hearing Officer also
recommended the addition of a standard for Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE).
All of the Hearing Officer's proposed changes were adopted with the exception of MTBE. The changes took effect
on April 1, 2003. This memo documents the changes to the NPDES permitting policy for TRC limits.
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC)
Previously, TRC had an Action Level Standard, except in designated Trout waters. The Triennial Review changes
modified the TRC Action Level Standard to an Aquatic Life Standard of 17 µg/L. The Aquatic Life Standard will
remain for designated Trout waters.
Aquatic Life Standard — 17 µg/L (freshwater only) Trout Waters — 17 µg/L
Revised TRC Policy
➢ TRC limits will be assigned to permit renewals and all new permits issued after April 1, 2003.
➢ Facilities that do not use chlorine will not receive a TRC limit; however, the presence of a chlorine back-up
system to augment UV or other disinfection requires a TRC limit.
> Facilities discharging to streams with a 7Q10 <0.05 cfs (zero -flow streams) will receive a limit of 17 µg/L.
> Limits will be capped at 28 µg/L to protect against acute impacts.
It is likely that many facilities will need to add dechlorination (or use another means of disinfection) to comply with
the new TRC standard. Therefore, a compliance schedule of 18 months from the effective date of the permit may
be added to any TRC limit added during the current permit renewal. This time period is allowed in order for the
facility to budget and design/construct the dechlorination and/or akemative disinfection system(s). The NPDES
Unit has promulgated minimum design criteria in order to expedite permitting of dechlorination equipment.

Subject: Renewal Notice
NPDES Permit NC0062448
Lake Norman State Park/Campground
Iredell County
Your NPDES permit expires on March 31, 2005. 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 October 2,
2004. Failure to request renewal 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 March 31, 2005, 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 be assessed 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

Dear Mr. Burns:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$335.45 ($250.00 civil penalty + $85.45 enforcement costs) against the North Carolina Division
of Parks and Recreation.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the
discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by the North Carolina Division of Parks &
Recreation for the month of November 2002. This review has shown the subject facility to be in
violation of the discharge limitations found in NPDES Permit No. NC0062448. The violations
are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the North Carolina Division
of Parks & Recreation violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit No.
NC0062448 and North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent
shown in Attachment A. A civil penalty may be assessed in accordance with the maximums
established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and .
the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, D. Rex .Gleason, Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Mooresville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against
the North Carolina Division of Parks & Recreation:

discharging waste into the waters of the State in
violation of the permit daily maximum effluent limit
for Fecal Coliform.
$ ,2 S 6 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$ 85.45 Enforcement costs.
$ 77E,11 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 violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(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 violation was 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). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of.
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:

A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter.
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 there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and
a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) 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;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violations;
(c) the violations were inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violation;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Ms. Coleen Sullins
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review the information during a bimonthly enforcement conference and inform you
of his decision in the matter of the remission request. His response will provide
details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for further
appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee
on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee cannot
consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered
by the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
OR
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to
the Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes. You must:

File your original petition with the
Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714
and
Mail or hand -deliver a copy of the petition to
Mr. Dan Oakley, General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a date
stamp (not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter being •
referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the
penalty.
Please be advised that any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new
enforcement action, including an additional penalty. If you have any questions about this civil
penalty assessment, please contact the Water Quality Section staff of the Mooresville Regional
Office at 704/663-1699.

Mr. Rex Gleason has directed me to respond to you concerning noted deficiencies in Mr. Wes
Bell's annual Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the campground wastewater treatment plant
located at Lake Norman State Park (NPDES #NC0062448).
Deficiencies were noted in improper standardization of meters used to determine pH and total
residual chlorine. I have spoken with the contract operator of our plants and have been reassured
that the ORC will more closely review his efforts and methods to standardize the meters and
remain compliant with check standard values.
Deficiencies noted regarding the self monitoring report (no ORC or back up operator on site
October 24 and 25; no pH reported for the period October 21-27) resulted from failure of the
contract operator, Overcash Environmental, to fulfill his requirements in providing an ORC and
back up operator. Upon my discovery of the deficiencies, I assumed duties as the back up
operator and Overcash was promptly relieved of his contracted services. Statesville Analytical
has hired effective November 1, 2002 to provide contracted operator services and the plant has
been visited by the ORC consistently since.
Please let me know if you require additional information on my efforts to correct the referenced
deficiencies.

The facility was last inspected by Wes Bell of this office on May 25, 2001.
PERMIT:
The permit authorizes the continued operation of an existing 0.015 MGD wastewater
treatment facility consisting of a bar screen, aeration basin with diffused air, secondary clarifier,
chlorine contact tank, and post aeration.
The permit for this facility became effective on 1/1/01 and expires on 3/31/05. The review
period of the self -monitoring reports includes the requirements of the previously issued permit. As
stated in the NPDES Permit cover letter dated 11/29/00, a Wastewater Management Plan (includes
a description of future flows and an Engineering Alternatives Analysis) was to be submitted to the
Division by no later than 6/29/01. A Wastewater Management Plan was submitted to the Division
within the specified time period.
RECORDS AND REPORTS:
The Operator -in -Responsible Charge(ORC)sign-in log, daily operation andmaintenance logs,
process control data, and the calibration log were reviewed duringthe inspection. The records were
well maintained and no deficiencies were found.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
At the time of inspection the facility appeared to be well maintained and the treatment units
were operating properly. The majority of the WWTP is covered with a screen to prevent leaves,
sticks, etc. from impeding the WWTP's performance. Bar screenings are disposed at the county
landfill. The aeration basin appeared under loaded with a low biomass population; however, the
mixed liquor suspended solids appeared to be well mixed and adequately oxygenated. A process
control program consists of settleability tests and dissolved oxygen measurements.
The facility .is staffed with one Grade II ORC. A certified back-up operator has been
designated and is available when the ORC is unable to visit the facility. The ORC was very
knowledgeable of the treatment processes and equipment used at the facility.
LABORATORY:
Statesville Analytical (Certification #440) in Statesville, N.C. has been contracted to provide
analytical support. The laboratory was not evaluated during this inspection. The thermometer
appeared to be properly calibrated.
The pH meter is standardized with two standards and checked with a third (each day of
usage); however, on one occasion, the meter's value exceeded 0.1 unit of the check standard's value.
The TRC meter is calibrated/verified annually and checked (every day of usage) with a
midrange check standard; however, on several occasions, the meter's value exceeded 10% of the
midrange TRC standard.

LABORATORY cont'd:
Please be advised that the pH meter's value must fall within +/- 0.1 unit of the check
standard's value and the TRC meter's value must fall within +/- 10% of the midrange check
standard's value.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The facility was not discharging at the time of the inspection. The facility discharges into
Lake Norman (Catawba River), which is a WS-IV B water in the Catawba River Basin. The
receiving stream was not evaluated at the time of the inspection.
A review of the DMRs have indicated numerous TRC values in excess of 28/2g/1. Be aware
that a stream action level of 17 /2g/1 has been established for total residual chlorine for chronic
toxicity effects. An action level of 28 j2g/1 has been set as the maximum allowable effluent
concentration to protect the receiving stream against acute toxicity effects. Please maintain the total
residual chlorine concentration as low as possible, while still complying with fecal coliform limits.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Self -monitoring reports were reviewed for the period June 2001 through May 2002, inclusive.
The facility was closed from December 2001 through March 14, 2002. A new contract operation
firm began operating and maintaining the WWTP on March 15, 2002. No limit violations were
reported. No effluent pH was reported for the weeks of October 21 through October 27, 2001. The
remaining monitoring frequencies were correct.
The flow measurement frequencies were correct; however, the flow measurements were not
taken in conjunction with effluent sampling as required by the Permit.
The DMR indicated that the facility was not visited on 10/24 and 10/25/01. Please be
advised that this WWTP must be visited five days per week excluding weekends and legal holidays.
All samples appeared to be properly preserved and meet the required holding times.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Effluent flow is measured instantaneously by a weir (on the chlorinator) and staff gauge. The
ORC and staff must ensure that the staff gauge is properly positioned (upstream of the weir) to
prevent inaccurate flow measurements.
SLUDGE DISPOSAL:
Sludge has not been removed in 2002; however, Sigmon Environmental in Statesville, N.C.
has been previously contracted to remove the sludge and was disposed at a CMU WWTP.

SEWER OVERFLOW:
Please be advised that pursuant to Part II, Section E of your NPDES permit, and North
Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system,
pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion of
the wastewater shall be reported to the central office or the appropriate regional office (Mooresville
Regional Office 704-663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the
permittee became aware of the bypass. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours
may also be reported to the Division's Emergency Response personnel at 800-662-7956, 800-858-
0368, or 919-733-3300. A written report shall also be provided within five (5) days of the time of
the incident. The report shall contain a description of the bypass, and its cause; the period of the
bypass, including exact dates and times, and if the bypass has not been corrected, the anticipated time
it is expected to continue; and steps taken (or planned) to reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence
of the similar events. Any spill that reaches surface waters (i.e. any spill that reaches any water
already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill greater than 1,000 gallons on the
ground that does not reach surface waters must be reported.
An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an
evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a fish
kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen and
pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH measurements at
multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact. Failure to report
the bypass of collection system, pumping station or treatment facility subjects violators to penalties
of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation.

The sources for the wastewater are the campground washhouse and dump station.
The system is operated March 15 - November 30.
II. Performance
Overcash Environmental Services of Mooresville was hired to operate the system from March
15, 2001 through October 31, 2001. Statesville Analytical of Statesville was hired to operate
the system during November, 2001.
During the period, there were five violations of conditions of the permit to operate this
system (described below). There were no spills, no mechanical failures and no known
discharge of improperly treated wastewater. Wastewater was routinely sampled to determine
pH, residual chlorine, fecal coliform bacteria, suspended solids, ammonia, biological oxygen
demand, dissolved oxygen and temperature.

DMR submitted late (October 1, 2001) due
to delay in correcting errors on initial DMR
from the ORC that were detected by the
permittee.
Corrective Action: Overcash Environmental
cautioned by permittee to be more effective
in accurately reporting data.
ORC's signature invalid due to the date of
signature. It became apparent that the ORC
was submitting blank DMR's to Overcash
Environmental Services who then listed the
data. (Monitoring and reporting violation).
Corrective Action: See comments for
October, 2001.
Neither the ORC nor the back-up operator
visited the system on October 24, and
October 25. (Monitoring and reporting
violation).
Corrective Action: Contract with Overcash
Environmental terminated effective October
31, 2001. Statesville Analytical was hired
effective,November 1, 2001 to begin
operation of this system.
