PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEI~-INITION
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 MrPmPnt
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
bythe 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 IL
Page 3 of 14
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a
calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I
of the permit.
g. A -calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed -in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows
recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of
sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
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. TypesDL&mplo
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.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.

Part H
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.
I I. 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 CONDITION
The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance
constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is ground for enforcement action; for

a. The permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under
section 307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants within the time provided in
the regulations that establish these standards or prohibitions, even if the permit has not
yet been modified to incorporate the requirement.
b. Any person who violates a permit condition is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed
$25,000 per day for each violation. Any person who negligently violates any permit
condition is subject to criminal penalties of $2,500 to $25,000 per day of violation, or
imprisonment for not more than 1 year, or both. Any person who knowingly violates
permit conditions is subject to criminal penalties of $5,000 to $50,000 per day of

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 (3) of this condition met. No determination made during
administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an
action for noncompliance, is finial administrative action subject to judicial review.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This Office is in receipt of an NPDES Permit application for
the discharge of approximately 0.175 MGD of domestic and
commercial wastewater from a proposed development on Lake Norman.
The commercial wastewater will be generated from a proposed
restaurant and laundry waste from the proposed homes.
This Office has concerns regarding the extension of the
outfall line into Lake Norman. The applicant has indicated a 150
foot extension, which, based on expected water recreational
activities in the general area, may increase human contact in the
.vicinity of the discharge. Extension of the outfall
approximately 250 feet is recommended.
Provided the existing topographic constraints (slope) can be
resolved, the proposed wastewater treatment plant site appears
suitable.. A review.of the preliminary site plan, however, has
shown residential lots adjacent to the proposed wastewater
treatment plant site. This Office recommends a minimum 150 foot
buffer between any residence and the proposed wastewater
treatment plant.
The applicant has indicated that the proposed facilities
will be capable of consistently complying with BOD5 and NH3 as N
limitations of 5 mg/l and 2 mg/l, respectively. In most
situations, a recommendation for BPJ limits would be considered
for a discharge into Lake Norman. It is our opinion, however,
that the applicant be given effluent limitations of BOD5 - 5 mg/l
and NH as N - 2 mg/l in order to provide optimum protection
agains degradation of the receiving waters and to insure public
confidence in the future use of these waters for recreational
activities. The proposed facilities, with proper operation and
maintenance, should be capable of meeting the recommended
limitations.
The DHS should concur with this proposed discharge prior to
the issuance of an NPDES Permit.
This Office recommends an adequately sized grease trap be
installed on any collection line carrying restaurant wastewater
(prior to receiving sanitary waste).
The proposed facilities should be equipped with audible and
visual alarms indicating power failures and the applicant should
be able to demonstrate that an operator of sufficient grade is

Page Four
within a thirty (30) minute drive of this facility. An automatic
telephone dialing system should also be required prior to
issuance of an Authorization to Construct.
Pending receipt and approval of a Waste Load Allocation,
concurrence by DHS and the local governmental authority, plus
incorporation of the concerns expressed above, this Office has no
objection to the issuance of an NPDES Permit.

Attention: Mr. Donald Safrit, P.E.
Reference: NPDES Application, Preliminary Engineering Report (PER)
Performance Group/Lake Norman Limited Partnership
Dear Mr. Safrit:
As required by Rule NCAC 2H .0105 (b) (1-5), we forward the following data
and Preliminary Engineering Report to supplement the NPDES application.
I. Waste Flow Origin, Type and Quantity
The property consists of 344 acres. This development will be constructed
as a 451 unit residential subdivision with amenities. These features may
include clubhouses, swimming pools, tennis courts, dry boat storage and
restaurant/marina. The average flow will consist of 360 GPD for 451 housing
units plus 13,000t GPD for restaurant and pool discharges', an average daily
flow of 175,000 GPD.
The wastewaters discharged to the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) will
be domestic wastes. No industrial waste discharges will be allowed to connect
to the sewer collection system or the WWTP.
II. Waste Treatment Options
Various options for treatment were reviewed and are outlined below.
Each is critiqued in order.
a. Septic Tank System
b. Municipal WWTP
C. On=Site WWTP
d. Land Application
a) Septic Tank System
The soils on this property are predominantly Cecils and Lloyds which
would normally be receptive to ground water absorption.

NPDES Application/Lake Norman Limited Partnership Page 2
The high degree of slope on the property will preclude effective layout
of nitrification fields on each lot. Finding enough area on each lot
for a reserve field will be difficult with the 13% to 27% slopes of
the property.
Approximately 450 septic tanks on a hilly site draining towards a lake
may not be the best environmental approach to the development of this
property.
b) Municipal WWTP
The area is not presently served by any municipal WWTP. The nearest
municipal sewage system and WWTP is located in the Town of Troutman,
N.C. A pump station/force main system would require approximately
seven (7) miles of force main. This alternate was rejected because
of the complexity of the system and high costs.
c) On -Site Wastewater Treatment Plant
The construction of an extended aeration WWTP with nitrification, tertiary
filter and disinfection was reviewed. To protect Lake Norman from
further degradation, the plant will be designed to treat the effluent
to a Biochemical.Oxygen Demand (BOD) of 5 mg/l and ammonia nitrogen (NH3)
to 2 mg/l. Sizing and space willhbe allocated for future phosphorus
removal as the lake upgrading demands this parameter from all discharges.
See the Flow Diagram, Sketch No. 2 attached to the NPDES Permit Application.
Safety features added to the WWTP will be stand-by power for pump stations,
motors, blowers, and other electrical equipment necessary for emergency
operations of the system. The first phase of construction will be
designed as a dual train so each critical unit. will have a back-up.
system for continuous treatment. As the houses are built, the plant
will be expanded to keep ahead of discharge. The discharge point will
be by underground piping at least 150 feet from the shore line. The
ductile iron pipe will be drilled with J to 1 inch holes so the waste-
water will be diffused in the lake rather than concentrated at one
discharge point.
d) Land Application Treatment
This method requires large areas of land. The steep slopes that would
work against the septic tank nitrification fields will also be a negative
factor for land application treatment. This method is more advantageous
for larger gently sloping or almost flat areas.
III. Description of Proposal Treatment Works
The extended aeration WWTP will have the following basic units: Aeration,
nitrification, settling, disinfection,_ testiary treatment, post.aeration
and aerated digestion.

NPDES Application/Lake. Norman Limited Partnership Page 3
The aeration/nitrification basin will be an all concrete, 12-foot side -water
depth vehicle wall tank. The tertiary filter unit will be oversized to give an
extra factor of safety for a plant accident. Dual train units will be
constructed during the first phase so that continuous operations will be
available. Disinfection will be reviewed for ozone treatment if feasible
to keep chlorine discharges from entering into the lake.
Sludge will be aerated in a concrete tank until ready for discharge. A
contract will be concluded with a licensed sludge handling operator to
periodically collect the sludge and to dispose it as an approved site
following EPA regulations. The discharge site will be away from the lake.
IV. General Location Map
Sketch No. 1 is attached to the application to indicate the location of
the site. A soils map, marked Sketch No. 3.is also attached.
V. Scale Location Map
Enclosed is an illustrative site plan showing the proposed layout of this
site. All functional parts of the plant will be located above the flood
level.
Attached to this application is Check No. 5234 for $250.00 from Mr. Gary
Allen for the standard application processing fee as revised August 1, 1988.
The attached letter from Burnett Utilities indicates that discussions have been
held with the Owners so that Burnett will own and operate the facilities once
completed.
Please review and forward your comments and/or approval at your earliest con-
venience. Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact our office.
Very truly yours;
