Dear Mr. Hale:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC 0074535 was
issued on December 16, 1988 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 M3.'
Page M3 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 DMR
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 form, 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.
The remaining Parts of the Permit (Parts II and -III) 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.
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 M-1 or I-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.

5. Mas--§-LDaY-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's or "Monthly Average's 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
li.miitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in P.aric. T of t:he permit.
C. "'be "maximum daily discharge" is the, total mass (w(>ight) of a
pollutant discharged during a calendar clay. If on.l.y on.e 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 th.e. 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 li.mi.t.ati.on is defined as
"Annual Average" izi. Part I of the permit.

6. Concentration Measurement
Part II
Page 12 of 14
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 maan 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. is "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 da-ily discharges sampled
and/or measu.T ed 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
1 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"
n "
under Oi:l�.er Limits ill Part T 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 ar_i.ttimetic mean (weighted. by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The
average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteriin 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.

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 Samales
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 betwee.ri 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.

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.
