Facility Classification PC-1
Dear Mr. Konsul:
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 Carolinaand the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended).
Thank you for your expedited response to my email dated August 12, 2013. Regarding your two
comments made on the final permit the Division offers the following responses. NPDES understands
that a discharge from Ion Exchange backwash is not always predictable. As a result, many Ion
Exchange Ps choose to initiate a manual backwash Arid proceed t— collect aliquot samples at spaced -
intervals to obtain a representative sample. Some Ion Exchange WTPs have chosen to install composite
samplers to decrease the operator responsibilities but this can be costly. NPDES appreciates your
efforts to schedule sampling visits to coincide with expected backwashing or to manually place the
softeners into backwash mode in order to collect a sample. The Division does find this practice to be
_acceptab_ le.Note that—a_representative sample is considered.to be the wastewater being discharged _and
not the static wastewater in the holding tank.
Regarding your comment on turbidity sampling, please note that in a letter dated Feb. 25, 2009 from
EPA Region IV the state is obligated to put turbidity monitoring in the NPDES permit. This also

satisfies testing regulations cited in NC Administrative Code 15A 2B .0500..It is recommended that the
test be performed using a turbidity meter.
All the changes made in this permit renewal as compared to the current permit are as follows:
• The receiving waterbody is not listed as Nutrient Sensitive Waters and the maximum discharge
flow is less than 0.05 MGD. Therefore, per the Water Treatment Plant Strategy, Total
Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen monitoring have been removed from the permit.
• Ammonia- nitrogen monitoring was removed from the permit since sampling results did not
show significant concentration levels of ammonia -nitrogen in the effluent.
• Flow monitoring has been increased to twice a month and a footnote was added to the permit
stating that flow shall be measured the same date samples are collected for analysis. If an
instantaneous sample is collected the duration of the discharge event shall be recorded in a log
book and available for inspection.
• Monthly Turbidity monitoring has been added to the permit in accordance with a letter received
from EPA Region IV dated Feb. 25, 2009 and in accordance with Administrative Code Section
15A NCAC 2B .0500.
• Footnote number 3 was amended under Section A (L) to include the following statement: TRC
limit and monitoring requirement only apply if chlorine is used for disinfection. The Permittee
shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC -certified laboratory [including field -
certified]. Effluent values below 50 µg/L will be treated as zero for compliance purposes.
• The wording in Section A. (2.) has been changed and the following paragraph added: If the
Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted on the
Discharge Monitoring Report and all AT Forms submitted. .
• Copper, zinc, and iron effluent samples reported from May 2008 through June 2011 showed
reasonable potential to violate North Carolina Water Quality Standards. Since copper, zinc, and
iron have Action Level standards and should be reviewed in conjunction with quarterly toxicity
testing, it is recommended that monitoring for these parameters remain in the NPDES permit at a
reduced monitoring frequency of quarterly. It is anticipated, that discharge alternatives assessed as
__p_art_of the_Discharge Alternatives Evaluation, will likely eliminate toxicity failures in the effluent
as well.
• Effluent sampling data evaluated from May 2008 to June 2011 for lead, manganese, chloride,
and total dissolved solids showed reasonable potential to violate North Carolina Water Quality
Standards for all these parameters.

Carolina Water Services ability to comply with these standards will require an investigation of
potential discharge alternatives. This assessment is outlined in a special condition in Section
A.(3) Discharge Alternatives Evaluation. The evaluation findings are to be submitted to the
Division within four years of the effective date of this permit and the findings will be used in
drafting the next permit renewal. The Division recognizes that determining both how to comply
Page 3 of 3
with WQS's and provide residents with safe, acceptable and clean drinking water is a complex
issue. This evaluation is being requested to determine whether there are any economical and
technologically feasible alternatives available to the Permittee to comply with NC Water
Quality Standards.
• The wording in Section A.(3) Discharge Alternatives Evaluation was modified as compared
to the wording in the email sent on August 12, 2013. Changes were requested in an effort to
more clearly state the objective of,the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation. Please review it
carefully.
• Section A. (4.) Alternatives Evaluation Re -opener was added to the permit to identify to the
Permittee that the Division may re -open this permit to include the findings from the Discharge
Alternatives Evaluation in the form of a compliance schedule.
• The Supplement to -Cover was corrected as requested.
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 Resources 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.

The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined
in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised
December 2010, or subsequent. versions.
The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 90 %.
The testing shall be performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 7-day pass/fail test. The tests will
be performed during the months of March, June, September, and December. These
months signify the first month of each three month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the
facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent
discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all
treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the
Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using
the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the
following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences
Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is
made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical
measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all. dose/response
data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported
if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity
monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the
aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number,
county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment
area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at
the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test,
this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North
Carolina Division of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit maybe re -opened_ and modified to include alternate_ monitoring_ requirements or
limits.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the
results of such monitoring shall be'included in the calculation 8s reporting of the data
submitted on the DMR & all AT Forms submitted.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental
controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be
completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

A. (3.) DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES EVALUATION
In an effort to comply with North Carolina Water Quality Standards (WQS) for the following
parameters: chloride, manganese, lead, and total dissolved solids; the Permittee shall
assess potential discharge alternatives. It is recommended that the evaluation thoroughly
assess 3 to 4 of the following alternatives:
1. Connect discharge to a WWTP: Determine whether the wastewater can be discharged
to a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) or pumped and hauled to a
WWTP. Approval or disapproval from the municipality should be
acquired. ;
2. Obtain a Non -discharge permit: Eliminate the surface water discharge by obtaining a
non -discharge permit for spray irrigation, infiltration, or subsurface
disposal (on -site drainfield, infiltration gallery, injection wells).
3. Install Wastewater Treatment: Install improved wastewater treatment to enable the
facility effluent to consistently comply with Water Quality Standards.
If this is not technically feasible or cost prohibitive, please explain and
provide estimated costs:
4. Use Alternative Water Source: Obtain drinking water from another source (nearest
County, City, or Town or other wells) so either the discharge is
eliminated or compliance with WQS's is achieved.
5. Use Alternative Water Treatment Method: Install alternative and/or innovative water
treatment methods or operational improvements that do not produce
noncompliant wastewaters. 'For example, installing a recycle
iron/manganese filtration system with no discharge.
6. Discharge to a Larger stream: Relocate the facility's'discharge to a larger receiving
stream and determine if limits can be achieved given the increased
dilution.
7. Combination of Alternatives: Employ any combination of the alternatives listed above
that would result in achieving compliance with Water Quality
Standards.
The evaluation shall include a present value of costs analysis for all technologically feasible
options as outlined in the Division's "Engineering Alternatives Analysis Guidance
Document." This Document can be found at:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ps/npdes/pc=its.
This evaluation is being requested to determine whether there are any economical and
technologically, feasible alternatives available to the Permittee to comply with NC Water
Quality Standards. If one or two discharge alternatives are available to the Permittee,
please identify the preferred alternative and an estimated timeline for implementation. The
Permittee shall submit the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation to the Division at the address
listed below four years after the effective date of this permit (by October 2, 2017).

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:

Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Penmittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization.
This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T
.0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government
organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges
to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW
treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of
POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 0211 .0903(b)(26)]
"Significant Industrial User" or "SIU"
An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(33)]:
1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary,
noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the
POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and
conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a
Significant Industrial User (SIU); or
6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a
non -significant categorical Industrial User.
Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs)
Version 1110912011
NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 15 of 18
All POTW.s must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]:

Iredell County
Facility Classification PC-1
Dear Mr. Konsul:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully to
ensure that you thoroughly understand the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following changes from your current permit:
• The receiving waterbody is not subject to Nutrient Sensitive Waters Classification, and the maximurn,
monthly average discharge flow is less than 0.05 MGD. Therefore, per the Water Treatment Plant
Strategy, Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen monitoring have been removed from the permit. DMR
results reported for Total Phosphorus were less than 0.19 mg/L and for Total Nitrogen the maximum
reported value was less than 2.3 mg/L.
• The maximum DMR result reported for ammonia- nitrogen was less than 0.16 mg/L, so ammonia -
nitrogen monitoring was removed from the permit per the Water Treatment Plant Strategy Guidelines.
• Flow monitoring has been increased to twice a month and a footnote was added to the permit stating
that flow shall be measured the same date samples are collected for analysis.
• Monthly Turbidity monitoring has been added to the permit in accordance with a letter received from
EPA Region IV dated Feb. 25, 2009 and in accordance with Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC
2B .0500.
• Footnote number 3 was amended under Section A (1.) to include the following statement: TRC limit and
monitoring requirement only apply if chlorine is used for disinfection. The Permittee shall report all
effluent TRC values reported by a NC -certified laboratory [including field -certified], Effluent values
below 50 µg/L will be treated as zero for compliance purposes.
• The wording in Section A. (2.) has been changed and the following paragraph added: If the Permittee
monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall
be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report
and all AT Forms submitted.

• Footnote number 1 was added to Section A.(1.) to specify that instream monitoring be performed 50 feet
upstream and 50 feet downstream of the facility's discharge point.
• Sampling data evaluated from Jan. 2008 through Dec. 2012 for copper, zinc, and iron shows reasonable
potential exists to violate North Carolina Water Quality Standards. Since copper, zinc, and iron have
Action Level standards and should be reviewed in conjunction with quarterly toxicity testing, it is
recommended that monitoring for these parameters remain in the NPDES permit at a reduced
monitoring frequency of quarterly.
• Sampling data evaluated from Jan. 2008 through December 2012 for lead, manganese, chloride, and
total dissolved solids shows reasonable potential exists to violate North Carolina Water Quality
Standards for water supply waters and as a result, monthly monitoring and limits have been added to
the permit.

Effluent data provided in the Discharge Monitoring Reports indicates the current discharge treatment may not
be adequate to meet these new permit limits. A special condition in Section A.(3.) has been added to this
permit allowing five years before the new permit limitations become effective. It also requires that the
permittee perform an interim evaluation to assess the feasibility and costs of complying with the limits. This
evaluation should consider the feasibility and costs of a variety of options such as: installing wastewater
treatment to meet the limitations, using other wastewater disposal alternatives, installing an alternative
potable treatment method, or obtaining drinking water from another source. The evaluation report and the
alternative selected by the pennittee to comply with the new limitations shall be sent to DWQ three years
after the permit becomes effective.
Concurrent with this transmittal, the Division will solicit public comment on this draft as required by the EPA
by publishing a notice in newspapers having circulation in the general Iredell County area. Please review this
draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the information, conditions, and requirements contained
therein. Should you wish to correct errors or provide comments regarding this draft please contact the
NCDENRIDWQ/NPDES Program no later than May 3, 2013.
Following the 30-day public comment period, the Division will review all pertinent comments and take
appropriate action prior to issuing a final NPDES permit. If you have questions concerning the draft permit
for your facility, please contact me by e-mail Oulie.grzyb@ncdem•.gov) or call me at (919) 807-6389,

Subject: NPDES Permit NCO086606
The Harbour - Well #4 WTP
Iiedell County :
Dear Mr. Lashua:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NCO086606 was issued on March 14, 2005
for the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose
of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and the liabilities in the event of
failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it
is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular importance is Page 4.
Page 4 sets forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your discharge.
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. For new-permits/facilities, the Division may supply an initial small stock of these
forms; however, if you fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as possible.
The forms, including directions for their completion, and other important information are also
available at http://l12o.enr.state.ne.us/NPDES/documents.html. 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 fee may be required for your facility; if so, you will
receive 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 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.
To maintain compliance with discharge limitations, proper operation and maintenance of
a wastewater treatment facility and the development of a process control program are essential.
For those facilities having chlorine tablet disinfection, please be advised that chlorine .tablets
approved for wastewater treatment use must be used; swimming pool tablets are not approved.
Also, be advised that DWQ staff,need to have access to the facility's discharge point into the
receiving stream; please maintain a path along the outfall line to facilitate that access.
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 should request that the Division of
Water. Quality rescind the Permit or request that DWQ reissue the Permit to another party, if'
necessary.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of
your NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in
Mooresville if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing any
assistance.

Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit
NCO086606
The Harbour — Well #4 WTP
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Lashua:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES 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).
In response to your questions/comments on the draft permit:
➢ A summary of our permitting strategy for ion -exchange water treatment plants was included with your
draft permit. In your comments you indicated the "permitting strategy appears flawed." The full
workgroup findings, along with the participants involved on the workgroup, is available on our
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.html. The 77-page document is entitled
"Assessment and Recommendations for Water Treatment Plant Permitting: Findings of the Water Treatment
Plant Workgroup." The new permitting strategy for water treatment plants affects all membrane and
sodium cycle cationic exchange water treatment plants regardless of the facility's compliance history.
➢ We understand that the new requirements will increase man-hours and costs associated with the
operation of your facility. The new requirements are an attempt by the Division to collect more
information about the nature of your discharge so that we can properly characterize your effluent, as
well as the effect your discharge may have on the receiving water. These requirements are consistent
for all water treatment plants using ion exchange technology. By requiring monthly monitoring for the
new parameters, we aim to minimize the disruption to your operations while still gathering important
data. We do not believe that these requirements pose an impractical burden on a properly operated
facility. The Division wilTre-evaluate the monitoring requirements at the next permit renewal in 2010.
➢ Please contact Jim Meyer in the Lab Certification Branch at (919) 733-3908, extension 207 with any
questions about the procedure for obtaining specific parameter certifications or for obtaining a list of
certified laboratories.
➢ In your comments you indicated there is no upstream or downstream flow in the receiving water,
except during rain events. The stream monitoring requirement will remain in the permit. However, if
when sampling is conducted there is no stream flow, then simply indicate "No Flow" on the monitoring
report.
➢ With regard to your comment that the conductivity monitoring requirement has been removed from
"Most all NPDES permits," this is not entirely correct. The instream monitoring requirement for
conductivity was removed from those NPDES permits with 100% domestic wastewater only. Your
facility, an ion -exchange water treatment plant, does not fall into this category, and hence is still subject
to the instream conductivity monitoring requirement.

CWS, Inc. — The Harbour Well #4 WTP

➢ As indicated in the transmittal letter with the draft permit, a total residual chlorine (TRC) limit has been
added to the permit. The TRC limit will not take effect until eighteen (18) months after the effective
date of the final permit. This eighteen (18) month grace period, which will conclude on September 30,
2006, will allow you the needed time to make any modifications to your plant as well as time to
purchase new equipment or to find a certified laboratory able to conduct the TRC analysis. The
Divisions TRC policy memo was included with your draft permit.
➢ In your comments you objected to the need for the chronic toxicity testing requirement. You stated,
"We oppose �Iny testing requirement for parameters that do not have a proposed limit." Again we
understand the requirements will increase man-hours and costs associated with the operation of your
facility. The new requirements are an attempt by the Division to collect more information about the
nature of your discharge so that we can properly characterize your effluent, as well as the effect your
discharge may have on the receiving stream. At this time, your permit currently includes chronic
toxicity monitoring. This is not a "pass/fail" test; rather the purpose is to gather information about the
nature of your discharge. We need to determine whether your effluent discharge has a toxic effect on
the receiving stream. Based on the data gathered, we will be able to determine whether or not future
limits will be required. At this time we do not have sufficient information to make this determination.
The Division may re-evaluate this monitoring requirement at the next permit renewal in 2010.
This permit includes a TRC limit that will take effect on October 1, 2006.
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 Vanessa Manuel at (919) 733-5083, extension 532.

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 Div

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 nil in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and,
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart
during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.

In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems
having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases; effluent grab samples may be collected at
intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples map 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

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant requests reissuance of the NPDES permit for the discharge of wastewater
from cation exchange resin water softeners serving a community drinking water well. The filters
backwash intermittently, and eventually discharge into a stormwater channel that drains to Lake
Norman. The filters are designed to remove CaCO3 (hardness) from the well water.
Pending a final review by the NPDES Permitting Unit, it is recommended that a Permit.
be reissued as requested.

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 importanceare 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.
rs_
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
-4
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).

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
should request that the Division of Water Quality rescind the Permit or request that DWQ
reissue the Permit to another party, if necessary.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance
of your NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in
Mooresville if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing
any assistance.

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEM or "the Division"
Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC
1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found
each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled, and/or measured
during such week. - It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of
pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the
tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each
day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.
Part II
Page 2 of 14
6. Concentration_ Measurement
I 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.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is•the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. -A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March,
April through June, July through September, and October through December.
Part II
Page 3 of 14
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged
monthly. It is determined as the.arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the
calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when
both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs
continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be.
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for
infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge
and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the. time of individual sample
collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a. preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow
recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at
no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of
greater than 24 hours. In such, cases, effluent grab samples may be,collected at time intervals
evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time
of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent
grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a
24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples areindividual 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
(D.
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration
times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
Part II
Page 4 of 14
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day.
However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents
the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. 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.

3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be -a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary
to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this
permit.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) 'Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating
mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the
treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent
loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in
production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which -does not cause effluent limitations to be
exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These
bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall
submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an
evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part H, E. 6. of this permit: (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against
a permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to. prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe. property
damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment
facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of
equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should
have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass
which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance;
and
(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.

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. 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
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in.Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit.

material in the wastewater that wouold be necessary to establish anaerobic
decomposition in a septic tank. Therefore, subsurface_ disposal is not being
considered as an option at this time.
d. Other disposal options: N/A
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant proposes to construct a community drinking water well with cation
exchange resin water softeners. The filters will backwash intermittently and discharge into a
stormwater channel that eventually drains to Lake Norman. The filters are designed to remove
CaCO3 (hardness) from the well water.
Pending a- final review by the NPDES Permitting Unit, it is recommended that a Permit
be issued.

Dear Mr. Weaver:

The Point and The Harbour are adjoining subdivisions developed by Crescent Resources Inc., and
are served by a water system owned and operated by Carolina Water Service. A permit (NPDES NC
0084565) has been previously issued for discharge of softener backwash for the first well system
constructed in the Harbour. Since the softeners use a cation exchange resin for hardness removal,
there is no contamination in'the backwash and the NPDES permit was issued without a requirement
for alternative analysis. In essence, this type of system is a filtering process similar to the same type
process as a swimming pool backwash, except only clean well water is filtered, thus there would seem
to be no basis for concern as to adverse water quality impacts.
We respectfully request a re=consideration in regard to this requirement for alternative analysis as a ire% h�
bOb low priority, no contamination discharge.
�". We are also enclosing an application and processing fee of $400.00, and three (3) sets of plans for
a second discharge point for a water softener discharge for new Well Number 4 for the Harbour.
-7'
Although we are, filing for a new permit for The Point, it would be preferable and seems logical, if
possible, to include this system as a third point of discharge within the overall Harbour/Point Water
System, since it will be owned in it's entirety by Carolina Water Service, is contiguous, and since it
is possible that additional .dischargepoints may be requested in the future due to the distances
separating.the wells.

Three (3) copies of an executed_ Short Form D and check for $400.00 are enclosed for a proposed
discharge of backwash water for Theme Point. This application package was returned to us due to the
use of an outdated form. For your ease of reference, a copy of your October 9`h review letter is
enclosed.

Compliance Evaluation Inspection of August 31, 2017
Dear Mr. Basinger,
We are in receipt of your letter dated September 21, 2017 and respond as follows;
Record Keeping/Laboratory; The water softeners at this location regenerate (backwash) based
on the amount of flow passing through a regeneration meter. The softeners can and do
backwash at various times of the day and or night depending on demand. Since the water
softeners discharge at various times throughout the day and night and not knowing exactly
when that might be, it would be extremely difficult to sample during a discharge event under
normal circumstances. However, based on Mr. Bells comments and suggestions, we have
developed a Standard Operating Procedure which will require us to manually initiate a softener
backwash to ensure that there is flow at the time of sample collection. Therefore, all eDMR's
going forward will have a flow recorded on the day sampling occurred.
The noted eDMR's in the compliance evaluation inspection will be revised and resubmitted for
the following results, conductivity, lead, manganese and salinity. We apologize for this
oversight and have taken steps to insure this does not happen again in the future. Furthermore,
we have contracted Prism Laboratory's in Charlotte NC to begin analyzing conductivity and
salinity and to provide us with the results in the units provided on the eDMR to reduce these
errors going forward.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additionalsheetsof narrative and checklists as necessary)
RECORD KEEPING SECTION cont'd
On several occasions throughout the months of August 2016, December 2016, and January - June
2017, effluent results were reported on days with a "0" flow. Please be advised that effluent sampling
should only be performed during discharge events.- In addition, any of these months/DMRs with
incorrectly reported flow measurements must be revised and resubmitted to the Division.
The effluent results for conductivity (November 2016, May — June 2017) and lead and manganese
(potentially entire review period) were not properly converted to the units listed on the DMRs. All
applicable DMRs must be revised and resubmitted to the Division. -
The units of measurement being. reported for the effluent salinity during the review period included ppt,
g/l, and mg/I. Please note that ppt represents parts per trillion and ppth' represents'parts pet thousand
in the eDMR system. The ORC and staff must review all DMRs during the review period and ensure
all effluent salinity results were reported in the correct units of measurement. All applicable DMRs
must be revised and resubmitted to the Division.

Comment: The records reviewed during the inspection were organized and well maintained. Discharae
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period July 2016 through June 2017. A
daily minimum effluent pH limit violation was reported in October 2016. The Division has
previously addressed this limit violation through the issuance of a Notice of Deficiency
(NOD). Effluent chronic toxicity failures were reported in September 2016, January 2017,
March 2017, and June 2017. Note: The subiect permit reauires monitor only for the'chronic

Effluent Sampling Yes No NA NE
Comment: The subject permit reauires_effluent grab samples. The ORC initiates a backwash cvcle
(and discharge) on one of the softeners to collect the permit -required effluent samples. The
ORC must ensure that the sofltener chosen is representative of a typical backwash
discharge event from a softener that has been on-line and in need of a backwash cvcle.
If the effluent characteristics change throughout the backwash cycle (initially turbid and
clearino up at the end) then #he' ORC must ensure that representative effluent samples are
collected. A sampling protocol'was discussed during the inspecfion that included the
collection of multiple samples (equal volumes) representing each discharge phase and
combining these samples into one clean container. The combined effluent sample must be
thoroughly mixed prior to pouring the contents into the contracted laboratory's sample
bottles.

Subject: NPDES Electronic Reporting Requirements and
Sixty Day Notice of Minor Modification of the NPDES Permit
The Harbour - Well #4 WTP
NPDES Permit Number: NCO086606
Dear NPDES Permittee:
Secretary
S. JAY ZIMMERMAN

RECEIVED/NCDENR/DWI

IIGOORESVILLE REGIONIAL OFFICE
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently published the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule. The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to
report information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports. The rule does not change what
information is required from facilities. It only changes the method by which information is provided (i.e.,
electronic rather than paper -based).
EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period. The two phases of the rule, and their
key milestones, are:
Phase 1—Starting on December 21, 2016, regulated entities that are required to submit Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) will begin submitting these reports electronically, instead of on
paper. If you are currently reporting your DMR data electronically using eDMR, then you simply
need to continue reporting in the same way as you are now. The key change is that, starting on
December 21, 2016, electronic reporting of DMRs will be required, instead of voluntary.
Phase 2—Starting on December 21, 2020, regulated entities that are required to submit certain
other NPDES reports will begin submitting these reports electronically, instead of on paper.
Reports covered in the second phase include Notices of Intent to discharge in compliance with an
NPDES general permit, Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports, and a number of other NPDES
program reports.
For more information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule, visit

The facility has two water softener systems that treat well water from wells 4, 15-23 and 31. Building A
softener system backwashes and regenerates after-22,000 gallons of well water are treated. Building B-
softener system backwashes and regenerates after-17,000 gallons of well water are treated. Solar salt is
used for regeneration of the softeners. Both systems discharge to a common wastewater treatment system
consisting of two septic tanks operated in series. Liquid sodium bisulfite is injected, flow proportionally, for,
dechlorination into the discharge line leading to the first septic tank.

The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined
in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised
February 1998, or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 90%. The
permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish
compliance with the permit condition. The tests will be performed during the months of
March, June, September, and December. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be
performed at the NPDE.S permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the
Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using
the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the
following address:

Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is
made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical
measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response
data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported
if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity
monitoring is required, "the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the
aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number,
county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment
area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at
the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test,
this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or
limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as
minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and
appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require

TO DISCHARGE WASTEWATER UNDER THE
NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM
In compliance with the provisions of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1, other lawful
standards and regulations promulgated and adopted by the North Carolina Environmental
Management Commission, and the Federal. Water Pollution Control Act, as amended,
Carolina Water Service, Inc. of NC
is hereby authorized to discharge wastewater from a facility located at the
The Harbour - Well #4 WTP
Junction of 1540 Brawley School Road (NCSR 1100)
and Chuckwood Road (NCSR 1177)
near Mooresville, NC

to receiving waters designated as an unnamed tributary to Lake Norman (Catawba
River) in the Catawba River Basin in accordance with effluent limitations,
monitoring requirements, and other conditions set forth in Parts I, II, III and IV
hereof.
This permit shall become effective XXXX XX, 2012.

ARR DRAFT 04-03-2012
Site observations for The Point Well #1 was as follows:
One trane of softners was observed receiving flow from five wells influent flowing through the WTP.
CWS indicated that the units were installed around 1998-2000 and regular maintenance is performed on
the units. The units work as designed to remove hardness, but the resin has never been cleaned or
replaced to date. There were two settling tanks in series (approximately 1,000 gallons each). Backwash
volume at peak load was reportedly 1 backwash daily of approximately 300-400 gallons of discharge per
backwash. Based on this information, it would appear that the settling tank. may have some settling
capacity, but that was unclear. The IE units are operated based solely on the volume of water flow from
the well system.
Results and Recommendations:
CWS agreed to sample in April 2012, the Point Well #1 influent and effluent for the constituents' in the
draft permit and offered to contact the IE WTP Softner Technical Service Representative for the purpose
of system optimization.
Historical Sampling and results to consider for sample planning and treatment optimization:
A review of 2010 and 2011 Wells #1, #2, and #4 groundwater data from Public Water Section web site
did not include results for Chloride, TDS, Copper, or Zinc. The data also did not include Nitrate, the
receiving water body is not nutrient sensitive, however, the last permit cycle Total Nitrogen data was
collected and the Total Nitrogen results from the WTP discharge were elevated. Since there is a
groundwater standard for Nitrate, I would recommend sampling the wells for Nitrate. Well
groundwater results were reported for Hardness 19 mg/L and 123 mg/L, respectively, and for
Manganese reported as less than .01 mg/L. The average Manganese results reported from Wells #1,
#2, and #4 WTP discharge were significantly higher, they were .675 mg/L and .265 mg/L, respectively.
Well groundwater results for Iron were also reported as less than 0.01 mg/L for wells #1, #2, and #4.
However, WTP discharge average results reported for Iron were 0.18 mg/L and 0.25 mg/L, respectively,
with maximums reported at 1.3 mg/L and 1.2 mg/L, respectively.
Also, Sodium results were included from Wells #1, #2, and #4 in the 2010 and 2011 groundwater data
published by the Public Water Section. The groundwater sodium results were 8953 ug/Land 13, 900
ug/L, respectively. This is important to note since the IE WTP unit is converting Ca and Mg to Sodium
salts. It is also important to note that higher TDS usually in the form of CaCO3, lowers the exchange
capacity, so hardness and TDS can be monitored for process control and WTP optimization.

ARR DRAFT 04-03-2012
Carolina Water Service (CWS) - Ion Exchange Water Treatment Plants (IE WTP's)
March 30, 2012 Meeting @ Mooresville Regional Office
Subject: Permit Renewals for Harbour Well #4, Harbour Wells #1 and #2, The Point Well #11
Site observations for Harbour Well #4 WTP was as follows:
Two tranes of softners were observed with each trane receiving flow from six wells for a total of twelve
influent wells flowing through the WTP. CWS indicated that the units were installed around 2001 and
regular maintenance is performed on the units. The units work as designed to remove hardness, but the
resin has never been cleaned or replaced to date. There were two settling tanks in series
(approximately 1,000 gallons each). Backwash volume at peak load was reportedly 3-4 backwashes per
day of approximately 700-960 gallons of discharge per backwash. Based on this information, it would
appear that the settling tanks do not have the optimum capacity for settling. The IE units are operated
based solely on the volume of water flow from the well system.
Results and Recommendations:
CWS agreed to sample in April 2012, the Harbour Well #4 WTP influent and effluent for the constituents'
in the draft permit and offered to contact the IE WTP Softner Technical Service Representative for the
purpose of system optimization. We discussed 1) sampling the effluent at the settling basin and 2)
sampling the effluent at the end of the discharge pipe. This will enable CWS to determine if the current
sampling location provides a representative sample and to see if results differ between the two
sampling locations.
Site observations for Harbour Well #1 and #2 WTP were as follows:
One trane of softners was observed receiving flow from two wells influent flowing through the WTP.
CWS indicated that the units were installed around 1995, prior to CWS, and regular maintenance is
performed on the units. The units work as designed to remove hardness, but the resin has never been
cleaned or replaced to date. There was one settling tank that appeared to hold (approximately 2,000
gallons). Backwash volume at peak load was reportedly 1 backwash every other day of approximately
900-1000 gallons of discharge per backwash. Based on this information, it would appear that the
settling tank may have some settling capacity, but that was unclear. The IE units are operated based
solely on the volume of water flow from the well system.
Results and Recommendations:
CWS agreed to sample in April 2012, the Harbour Well #1 and #2 WTP influent and effluent for the
constituents' in the draft permit and offered to contact the IE WTP Softner Technical Service
Representative for the purpose of system optimization.

Subject: Review of Draft NPDES Permits
Permit NCO084565 — The Harbour — Wells #1 and #2 Water Treatment Plant
Permit NCO086592 — The Point Well #1 Water Treatment Plant
�1 Permit NCO086606 — The Harbour Well #4 Water Treatment Plant
I have completed the review of the draft permits listed above. My comments and.concerns are listed
below.
All of the water treatment plants identified in the draft permits have existed since the mid to late 1990s
without, to my knowledge, any obvious documented adverse impacts to the surface waters associated
with the discharges. The MRO DWQ staff is not aware of any complaints or concerns associated with the
current discharges.
Because these discharges are into unnamed tributaries to the Catawba River Basin, it appears that most
of the discharges never reach the surface waters (0 flow streams). The discharges are intermittent in
nature and only occur during a back wash cycle. My understanding is that the largest treatment plant
discharges approximately 1,000 gallons no more often than two times per week during normal operations.
Of course, the discharge amounts increase during peak demands in the summer months. This is by no
means a continual discharge which is typical with most NPDES permits. Furthermore, based on the
compliance water quality monitoring required under Section .1500 of the Rules Governing Public Water
Systems (RGPWS), it doesn't appear the infiltration of the discharges into the soil has adversely impacted
any of the wells at this system.
These discharges were permitted by the DWQ at the time of construction in the mid and late 1990s. I am
concerned the compliance schedule and alternatives evaluation presented in the draft permit may result
in the discontinuation of the water softening treatment units. There are no established drinking water
standards for hardness in North Carolina that would preverit Carolina Water Services (CWS) from ceasing
operations of these treatment units.

These water treatment facilities were approved by the PWS Section as listed below. These softening
units were approved primarily to deal with the hard water.
1. 1995 —Harbour Wells 1+2 — DEH Approval Serial Number— 95-08539
2. 1998 —The Pointe Wells 6-10 — DEH Approval Serial Number— 98-01048
3. 1999 —The Harbour Well #4 — DEH Approval Serial Number — 98-01757. This treatment plant
removes hardness associated with wells 4, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24.
Without these water softening systems, the consumer acceptability of the water would be extremely low
and. result in significant customer complaints. This system can't function without these wells and meet
pressure and system demands.
The draft permit gives CWS three years to evaluate alternatives and make a proposal as to how to
resolve these water quality violations. The alternatives presented included the items listed below.
1. Disposal of wastewaters by such alternatives as connecting to a local WWTP, pump and hauling
wastewaters away, obtaining a non -discharge permit for land application or. reuse.
2. Obtaining drinking water from another source.
3. Installing alternative water treatment methods.
4. 'Relocating the facility's discharge directly to the lake using a diffuser, assessing the model
dilution, and determining if the limits can be met at the predicted effluent dilution concentrations.
5. Installing a wastewater treatment to comply with the limits.
6. The permittee can assess any alterative which enables the facility to comply with the NC Water
Quality Standards.
At five years, CWS is required to comply with water quality standards specified in the draft permit as listed
below.
1. TDS - 500 mg/I
2. Total Chloride - 250 mg/I
3. Total Manganese — 200 ug/I
4. Total Lead — 25 ug/I
As was reported in your e-mail message, sampling data collected by CWS during the past four years
indicates maximum levels for the three treatment plants as listed below which is above the discharge
limits.
1. The Point — 26,000 ug/I — TDS, 27,840 mg/I — Total Chloride, 6700 ug/I — Total Manganese, 28
ug/I — Total Lead.
2. Harbour Well #4 — 48,000 mg/I — TDS, 19,000 mg/I — Total Chloride, 6500 ug/I — Total
Manganese, 38 ug/I — Total Lead.
3. Harbour Wells #1 and #2 — 23,000 mg/I — TDS, 14,000 mg/I — Total Chloride, 6500 ug/I — Total
Manganese, 79 ug/I —Total -Lead.
On April 22, 2013, CWS met with the DWQ staff and me to discuss the draft NPDES permit and proposed
alternatives identified in the draft permit. It appears the only viable alternative to resolve the water quality
violations is to obtain supplemental water supply from the Town of Mooresville (TOM). According to CWS,
a contractual agreement has been executed between the TOM and CWS to allow for a purchase of
approximately 646,000 gallons per day of treated water from the TOM. The purchase of water may allow
the wells that require softening to be taken off line thus eliminating all three discharges. The
interconnection with the TOM will occur later this summer. CWS indicated they may be able to negotiate
additional water purchase from the TOM in the future.

Based on this information, I understand that CWS might be able to comply with the draft permit. The three
year time limit to fully evaluate the TOM interconnect and possibly eliminate the discharges seems
reasonable. Without the TOM interconnect, there doesn't appear to be any other viable alternatives.
If you have any questions, please call me at (704)663-1699.

Ms. Allocco,
September 16, 2009
S EP 2 1 2009
We are in receipt of your August 18, 2009 letter concerning the above referenced item. We are pleased that you
found this facility well maintained and we respond to the noted issues as follows:
Operation and Maintenance
It was noted on the December 14, 2006 Inspection as a "recommendation" to record the results at this facility. Ms.
Hood indicated on the current inspection that this was still an issue and has not been corrected. Process control
tests. are being performed and the results are documented on the sample chain of custodies as well as the monthly
DMR.
De - chlorination
The suction line -for -the -Sodium -Bisulfate was_removed-by-our_ contractor_the_day before while performing necessary
maintenance on the softener system. The. backwash cycle was not activated during these repairs and mistakenly
left out of the Sodium Bisulfite drum. This was immediately corrected during the inspection. Also, there was no
discharge at the time of inspection.
Effluent Flow Measurement
The permit requires an instantaneous flow measurement. Instantaneous flow is determined by the designed
specifications of each softener vessel during the backwash cycle. Once in the backwash cycle the softener is timed
to discharge 60 gallons per minute for backwash and fast rinse and 3.5 gallons per minute in the brine draw cycle.
The flow meters were installed as an added benefit and also to help with our monthly water accountability. The flow
meter was calibrated 8/26/09 and was put on an annual schedule.
Effluent Sampling
We have evaluated our sampling procedures and made changes to allow for the 10 day separation between
sampling; however, all samples collected in the specified months were within the permit limits.
Sincerely,
/oberf-t A. James

Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Sampling Inspection Report for the inspection conducted at the
ject facility on July 8, 2009 by Ms. Donna Hood of this Office. Please inform the facility's Operator -in-.
ponsible Charge of our findings by forwarding a copy of the enclosed report.
While the inspection found the Harbour #4 WTP well maintained, several issues have not been corrected since
last inspection in 2006. They are as follows:
1. Documentation of on site analyses (field parameters) in another location in addition to the chain of custody
2. Documentation of process control
3. Calibration of the effluent flow meter
addition to the previously cited items, the effluent was not being dechlorinated at the time of the inspection.
This report is being issued as a Notice of Violation (NOV) because of the violations of the subject NPDES
permit and North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1 as detailed in the Dechlorination, Effluent Flow
Measurement and Effluent Sampling of the attached report. Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A, a civil penalty of not
more than twenty five -thousand dollars (25,000.00) per violation per day may be assessed against any person who
violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of any permit issued pursuant to
G.S. 143-215.1.

Dear Permittee:
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.

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 (919) 733-5083, extension 547. You may also contact the Mooresville Regional

PERMIT:
The permit adequately describes the facility.
RECORDS AND REPORTS:
Records and reports consisting of Operator -in -Responsible Charge (ORC)/maintenance
log, sampling data, and calibration data were reviewed at the time of the inspection. The records
were organized and well maintained.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The backwash wastewater flows through two settling tanks (operated in series) prior to
discharge. The facility appeared to be operating properly and the surrounding grounds were well
maintained. No solids have been removed from the settling tanks. The ORC and staff were very
knowledgeable of all treatment units and processes at the facility.
LABORATORY:
Prism Laboratories, Inc. (Certification # 402) of Charlotte, N.C. has been contracted to
provide analytical support. The lab was not evaluated during this inspection. All on -site
laboratory analyses are performed under laboratory certification #5228. The laboratory
instrumentation utilized for field analyses appeared to be properly calibrated and maintained.
EFFLUENT/RECEI"NG WATERS:
The effluent appeared clear with no suspended solids or foam. The receiving
stream/drainage ditch did not appear to be negatively impacted. The outfall location was well
maintained and accessible.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Self -monitoring reports were reviewed for the period October 2002 through September
2003. The permit requires quarterly monitoring. No limit violations were reported. No flow was
reported for December 2002; however, the ORC indicated that the value was an inadvertent
transcription error. An amended DMR will be resubmitted; therefore, all monitoring frequencies
and sampling locations were correct.
The ORC and staff must insure that TRC values are not reported (on the DMRs) below
the lowest value verified on the annual calibration curve.
The ORC and staff must insure that all permit required documentation (i.e. sample
location, date, time, analyst, final value, etc.) for all on -site field analyses is documented. In
addition, the permittee and ORC/staff must insure that all units, maximum/minimums, and
appropriate "<" or ">" values are documented and averaged on the DMRs prior to submittal.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Flow is measured by multiplying the number of timed backwashes by the specified flow
rate.

Subject: Renewal of NPDES Permit NCO086606
CWS/HARBOUR WELL SYSTEM WTP
IREDELL County
Dear Permittee:
The subject permit expires on April 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 November 2, 1999. 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 April 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 April 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 (919) 733-5083, extension
531. You may also contact the Mooresville Regional Office at (704) 663-1699 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.

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 1 of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each
day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.
Part II
Page 2 of 14.
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration;' other than for fecal coliform bacteria, :is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during..a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample -or in
the case of grab samples is the, arithmetic mean (weighted 'by flow value) of all the samples
collected during that calendar day., The, average monthly count for .fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a' :calendar month. This
limitation is identified as "Monthly -Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly- concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations'of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a .calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value). of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average. weekly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of,the- counts for samples collected -during a
calendar, week. This. limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part Pof the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day.. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day- the concentration of
pollutant calculated. from it is the "Maximum .Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily
Maximum" under, "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal 'coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are'sampled'and measured divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration -
values). 'The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow, value) of all the samples
collected during that calendar day .. The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the
geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year.. This limitation is
identified as "Annual Average. under "Other Limits in _Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of
dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to'. discharge averaged over a
calendar day. 'If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over' a calendar day, the sample is
considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the, discharge. It .is identified as "daily
average'.'. in the text of Part 1.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of. Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the -following distinct periods:, January through March,

7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged
monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the
calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when
both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs
continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow, or for
infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge
and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow
recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at
no greater than 1 /24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of
greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals
evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the -detention time
of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent
grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number -of samples less than four (4) during a
24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over, a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample 'can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual
values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the
individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is
equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values.
For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one
(1).
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.

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. 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.

Subject: NPDES Draft Permit
Permit No. NCO086606
The Harbour Water Treatment Plant- Well #4
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Haas:
Please find enclosed the draft permit for filter backwash discharge from The Harbour Water Treatment
Plant- Well #4 facility for your review and comment. The draft permit includes the following items:
Effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for water treatment plant backwash dischargers
based on NPDES policy. Chloride monitoring was added for facilities that perform brine
recharge of water softeners.
The permit expiration date was set at April 30, 2000, in order to synchronize the renewals for all
facilities located within this Catawba River subbasin.
Based on the new fee schedule beginning January 1, 1999, there will no longer be permit renewal
application fees. Instead, this cost will be covered by the. annual permit fee, which will be
$715/year for minor facilities.
Please provide any comments you have regarding the draft permit to this office by March 24,1999.
At this time, the Division is also publishing a notice in the newspapers of general circulation in Iredell
County, inviting public comment on the draft permit. Following the 30-day comment period, we will
review all pertinent comments received and take appropriate action on the permit renewal.
If you have any questions concerning the draft permit or the other requirements for your facility, please
call me at (919) 733-5083, extension 543.

Subject: NPDES Permit Application
Permit No. NCO086592
Permit No. NCO086606
The Point/Harbour WTP
Iredell County
Dear Dale:
Based upon review of EAA requirements, NPDES is requesting the addition of the following
information to the current permit application for two water treatment plant backwash discharges:
• A qualitative statement as to why a POTW connection is not reasonable (e.g., distance of 5
miles, or that the POTW might be unwilling to accept such wastewater).
• A qualitative discussion as to why reuse options are not available at the project site.
NPDES has determined that any potential combining of the two WTP backwash discharges would
not likely result in any added benefit to receiving water quality. NPDES has also determined that
nondischarge options are limited for WTP backwash water, particulary effluents from softener systems
due to their high sodium content. Consequently, EAA requirements are becoming more focused for
proposed WTP backwash discharges.
Finally, NPDES has determined that the request to combine all WTP backwash discharge systems
under a single NPDES permit will not be allowed. While NPDES does allow multiple outfalls for a
single facility to be covered under one permit, we feel the WTP backwash discharges represent
individual treatmentfacilities at -differing locations.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (919) 733-5083,
extension 543.
