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 times 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 passingthe 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
Page 2 of 16
> 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,4-
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 3 of 16
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.
U set
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.

TER GI;LITY SECTION
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 reviewed your comments as submitted in an April 7, 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
Division understands 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.

p. 2
As stated in the March 30 letter and discussed in previous communication with the Division, the subject
facility is seen to have viable options other than direct discharge for the disposal of treated wastewater.
The Division expects that one of these options will be acted upon during this permit cycle and does not
foresee any further reissuance of this permit following that time. If the Division of Parks and Recreation
would make a commitment to eliminate this discharge within a reasonable time frame, the Division of
Water Quality would be willing to entertain the possibility of issuing a pump and haul permit that would
allow you to haul the waste from this site to another wastewater treatment plant within the park for
treatment and disposal. Such a development could lessen operational costs and oversight at the facility
with the elimination of monitoring requirements associated with the NPDES permit.
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.

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 times 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. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. •The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart
during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.
Version 6/20/2003

NPDES Permit Requirements

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 for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the

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.
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.
Version 6/20/2003

NPDES Permit Requirements

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

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].

Lewis R. Ledford, Director
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 these plant'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.
DPR 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 hope to have this work completed by the end of 2007 at the latest. The designer is already 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 construction will take about
4-5 months. With all of this in mind and knowing the snags that state construction projects occasionally run into,
I would like to request an extension of 18 months from January 15t, 2007 for this requirement to be effective.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. If you need additional information, please contact me at 704-
528-6350.

irrigation, or subsurface disposal). See Part IV below.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Personnel with Lake Norman State Park (LNSP) has requested renewal of the subject
Permit. There have been no changes and/or modifications to the WWT facility or the permit since
the permit was last renewed.
During the term of the current NPDES permit, the Division of Parks and Recreation
(DPR) closed the swimming area at LNSP and constructed a new swiinining area at' 'another
location Ywithin the park: Since wastewater collection and disposal was necessary at this new
location, DPR staff submitted a non -discharge permit application. for a drip irrigation WWT,
system to serve the new swimming area. A WQ permit was eventually issued, andthe`new drip
irrigation WWT system has been constructed in time for the 2005 swimming season
The.Old swimming area still exists (although not for swimming), and will still be used by
various LNSP personnel and by occasional park visitors as they pass through this area of the park.
The restrooms that served the old swimming area will remain open, which means that a small
amount of wastewater will occasionally be generated and sent to the existing WWTP. For this
reason, the DPR requests that the NPDES permit remain in effect so that operation of the WWTP
cancontinue event though the WWTP willlikely.receive less than 10% of,it's originalflow.
LNSP "stsffrecogniiethat-this significant=reduction inflow presentnuinlier of operations
concerns, so discussions are underway regarding the available options that would allow LNSP to
eventually abandon the use of this WWTP.
In discussions with LNSP staff, it was learned that one option being considered is the
construction of a subsurface, ground absorption system that would handle the significantly
reduced flow from the old swimming area. Funding constraints within the DPR may, however,
prevent this subsurface system from being constructed in the foreseeable future. Connection of
the restrooms at the old swimming area to the new drip irrigation WWT facility has also been
considered, however, the cost of piping this wastewater to the new WWT facility is significant,
and will have to be budgeted by DPR.

Page Four
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. In the case of the old swimming area, it was
• DWQ's understanding that by constructing the new swimming area (and associated drip irrigation
WWTP) that the WWT facilities serving the old swimming area would be abandoned. This does
not'appear to be the case. The old 'swimming area WWTP (and the other extended aeration
WWTP located at LNSP) have always had some difficulty in maintaining an adequate biomass due
to the inconsistent -loading they receive.• Now that the majority of the flow that once was tributary
to.the -old swimming area WWTP,is now beingsent to .the new. drip irrigationsystem, the old •
swimming area WWTP may presenteven more operational problems and potentially a
compromise in effluent quality.
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 old swimming 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 oldswimming area bathroom facilities must be:disposed: o f in •
some other approved manner:
Pending receipt and approval of the draft permit, it is recommended that the subject permit
be renewed and conditioned as noted .above.

DPSP - Swimming Area
Iredell County, NC
Dear Mr. Burns:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0062430 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 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 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 noncompliance,
bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a
certified wastewater treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater

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 any time 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_
shouldrequestthat 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 if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing
any assistance.

Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0062430
DPSP — Swimming Area
Iredell County
(VP z-z64
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for the subject ermit. 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 be 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.

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.

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 ] 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 I 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 dischargeflow 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 tothe rate offlow 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 intervalsshall 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 dailyflow 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 effluentgrab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of
greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals
evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time
of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent
grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a
24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of . time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. „ Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual
values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric'mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the
individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is
equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values.
For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one
(1)
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration
times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.

PART 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 the WWT 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 from DWQ 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 to not 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 2and conditioned as noove.

Subject: NPDES Permit Renewal Application
Permit NC0062430
Duke Power State Park WWTP ,k,///;7
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 NC0062430, 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
Dear Permittee:
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

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.
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 bythe 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 aresampled 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.
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 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 equalto 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. ,.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CPR 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.

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

Subject: Renewal of NPDES Permit NC0062430
State Park Swimming Area
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
8250.00. 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.

Because of fluctuating park usage this facility must
constantly face variable loadings which require frequent
wastewater treatment plant attention. Although budget
constraints have not yet been finalized, preliminary work has
been completed which would permit the construction of a
subsurface ground absorption wastewater treatment system to be
approved by DEH. Mr. Burns indicated that monies may be
available for this activity during the 1991-92 fiscal year.
Pending implementation of this wastewater disposal
alternative, it is recommended that the Permit be renewed
containing the effluent limitations as recommended by Technical
Support.

Part II
Page l of 14
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
. 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 treatmentsystem, 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.
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.

PartII
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 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.
SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. Duty to Comply

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;

(a) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe
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.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence
that:
(a) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;

1.1 mile, turn right on State Park Road. Follow State Park Road into
the main entrance to the Park and continue on State Park Road approx-
imately 2.7 miles to the camping area. The facility is located in the
camping area near camp site No. 23. 002 (swimming area): After
entering the main park entrance on State Park Road, travel -approx-
imately 0.7 mile. The swimming area is on the left (south) side of
State Park Road. The wastewater treatment plant can be found in the
picnic area.

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 RECOMMENDATIONS
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.

Iredell County
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 Jarivary 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 tothe non -discharge system and elimination 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.

This letter is submitted to address the deficiencies noted in the Record Keeping and Laboratory sections of the
October 16, 2007 Compliance Evaluation Inspection Reports for the Lake Norman State Park/Swimming
WWTP (NPDES Permit No. NC0062430) and the Campground WWTP (Permit No. NC0062448).
The annual reports which were not properly filed were submitted to Inspector Donna Hood on October 26, 2007..
I apologize for this oversight and delay on my part.
Under the Permit sections of both reports, there is a comment that states that the "TRC limit becomes effective
on July 1, 2008". I have attached a letter from DWQ Director Alan W. Klimek which states that this limit is not
effective until July 1, 2009. The NC Division of Parks/Lake Norman State Park has employed an engineering
company to design and construct a subsurface system and sewer line connection to a spray irrigation facility that
would eliminate the need for both WWTPs. We expect that this project will be completed by March of 2008, but
request clarification on the effective date of the TRC limit.

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:
• 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 TRClimits.
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 manyfacilities 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 alternative disinfection system(s). The NPDES
Unit has promulgated minimum design criteria in order to expedite permitting of dechlorination equipment.

Dear Permittee:
Michael F. Easley
Governor
May 13, 2004
Subject: Renewal Notice
NPDES Permit NC0062430
Lake Norman State Park/Swimming Area
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
Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 547. You may also contact the Mooresville Regional
Office at [phone] to begin the rescission process.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must submit with
the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact me at the telephone number or e-mail address listed
below.

Mr. Rex Gleason has directed me to respond to you concerning noted deficiencies in Mr. Wes
Bell's annual Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the swimming area wastewater treatment
plant located at Lake Norman State Park (NPDES #NC0062430).
Deficiencies were notedin 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) resulted from failure of the contract operator, Overcash Environmental, to
fulfill his requirements in providing an ORC and backup 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.
I have directed the ORC to be sure to take flow readings on the same day that samples are
collected.
A violation was reported on the July, 2001 DMR where fecal coliform limits exceeded daily
allowances on July 31, 2001. The ORC suspected a contaminated sample bottle was utilized as
he documented that the seal was missing on the bottle's lid and residual chlorine readings for the
day (0.7 mg/1) indicated that fecal coliform should have been effectively controlled. At my
urging, the ORC agreed to inspect his sample bottles before use and no additional effluent
violations occured.

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 0.010 MGD wastewater
treatment facility consisting of a bar screen, aeration basins with diffused air, clarifier, and chlorine
contact basin.
The permit for this facility became effective on 1/1/01 and expires on 3/31/05. 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 and maintenance logs,
process control data, and the calibration log were reviewed during the inspection. The records were
well maintained and no deficiencies were found.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The WWTP is an oxigest system that does not utilize a clarifier skimmer or sludge return.
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 to be under loaded with a low biomass population; however, the mixed
liquor suspended solids appeared to be well mixed and adequately oxygenated. The clarifier
appeared turbid with pin floccing which could be attributed to the high dissolved oxygen levels and
low organic loading and biomass population.
The 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 NM) 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 (every 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 effluent was slightly turbid with no floatable solids or foam. The facility discharges into
Hicks Creek, which is a WS-IV B and CA 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 ug/1 has been established for total residual chlorine for chronic
toxicity effects. An action level of 28 ,ug/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 closed from November 17, 2001 to March 31, 2002. A new contract operation firm
began operating and maintaining the WWTP on March 15, 2002. A daily maximum fecal coliform
violation was reported on July 31, 2001.
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 water usage readings. The swimming area
WWTP only serves the restrooms and showers; therefore, water usage reading accurately reflect the
flow to the wastewater treatment facility.
SLUDGE DISPOSAL:
No sludge has been removed for 2002; however, Sigmon Environmental of Statesville, N.C.
has been previously contracted to remove sludge that 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 thatreaches 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.
