Section a Summary eat Firadsnof earnmants (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The facility has requested to receive inactive status due to the groundwater rernedi tion unit not currently
operating or discharging. The facility has been instructed to turn the unit off for approximately 2 years to let
the groundwater 'settle' so that a final determination can be made on groundwater contamination levels. It
is anticipated that the groundwater has reached contamination levels below the 2L standards, but final
testing will be performed after the alloted time, In the interims the facility will keep the permit on ir°ractive
status and the system turned off.
The facility was determined to be inactive at the time of the inspection with a managerial "lock outotag out'
restriction placed on the main power source. This will remain in effect until a final determination is made
concerning groundwater remdiation status. Please be advised that permit fees must be paid to maintain the
current permit on inactive status.

GENERAL:
The facility was last inspected on December 12, 2004, by the Mecklenburg County Water
Quality Program (MCWQP). A Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report was issued on January
11, 2005.
PERMIT:
The old permit became effective on March I, 2004, and expired on June 30, 2005. The
permittee submitted the permit renewal application prior to 180 days before the expiration of the
current permit, but has yet to receive their new permit. The old permit authorizes the discharge
of treated groundwater to an unnamed tributary to Long Creek,
The facility treats contaminated groundwater through a groundwater remediation system
(GWRS), which consists of three active recovery wells,. an equalization tank, a diffused aeration
tank, two particulate filters in parallel, and two activated carbon adsorption vessels in parallel.
The certification classification for NC0086002 requires that the facility have an operator
in responsible charge (ORC) with a Grade I Physical Chemical Water Pollution Control System
(PC-1) certification, The facility is staffed (ORC and back-up) with personnel that possess the
appropriate operator certification.
RECORDS/REPORTS:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period September 2005
through August 2006. The reports appeared to be properly completed. Records, reports, and
logs for the groundwater remediation system are clear and well maintained; no discrepancies
were noted.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW:
All of the major components of the remediation system were in service and appeared to
be operating properly at the time of the inspection.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Part I. A of the facility's NPDES permit requires continuous recording of the effluent
flow if the remediation system is operated continuously. If the system is operated intermittently,
the permit allows the permittee to monitor flow weekly through instantaneous flow
measurements. The facility obtains weekly instantaneous 'flow estimates from a non -recording.
totalizer flow meter on the effluent discharge line. Since discharges from the facility are not
continuous, this method of flow measurement is acceptable.
In Part II, Section D, Item 3 of NC0086002 permit requires flow measurement devices to
be accurately calibrated at a minimum of once per year to ensure the accuracy and reliability of

measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. Currently this facility has not calibrated
their flow measurement device; the ORC does not recall calibrating the device for several years,
and has no records of calibration. Please have the flow meter calibrated as soon as possible.
Rating: Unsatisfactory
LABORATORY:
Analysis of effluent samples is performed by Research & Analytical. Laboratories, Inc.,
which is certified by the State of North Carolina for the parameters specified in the permit (NC
Lab Certification #34). Research & Analytical Laboratories, Inc. was not evaluated under this
inspection.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The discharge point consists of a vegetated riprap-lined ditch, which flows to an unnamed
tributary to Long Creek, currently classified WS-IV waters within the Catawba River Basin. The
facility was discharging at the time of the inspection and no floating solids, foam, or odors were
noted around the discharge pipe. The receiving water did not appear to be adversely affected by
the effluent..
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), laboratory analytical reports, and operational
logs were reviewed for the period September 2005 through. August 2006. The reports indicate
that the facility was meeting permit effluent limits during this period and that all parameters are
being monitored at the proper frequency and location.
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The facility and site appeared well operated and maintained. The site operator performs
routine preventative maintenance on all components of the system and has an adequate inventory
of supplies and spare parts on site andfor readily available.

inspection of the MR-1 reports, it was discovered that the analysis and reporting of methyl -ethyl -ketone (MEK)
had been omitted during the months of May through November 2004,
Livingstone has discovered that the MEK analysis was in fact performed in May 2004 but not reported and an
amended MR-1 form for May 2004 with the result of the MEK analysis has been submitted.
Livingstone has determined that the cause of the omission of the MEK analysis was an incorrect laboratory
chain -of -custody (COC) form prepared by the licensed operator -in -charge. The base COC was then copied
and reused until the error was discovered during the inspection. Livingstone immediately ordered the
laboratory to resample in December 2004 and has since worked with the operator, laboratory and engineer to
develop and implement a system of checks to insure the completeness and accuracy of the COC, laboratory
analyses and reporting.
Livingstone will continue to improve its quality of operation and reporting to meet the permit limits as
established by DENR. If you have any questions please contact our engineer, David Gipe, at 704-552-7063 or
me at 704-392-2323.

Rescission of NPDES General Permit
Permit Number NCG030062
Livingston Coating Corporation
Mecklenburg County
,q411
cES
Fi
Reference is made to your recent request for rescission of the subject NPDES General. Permit. In
your submittal you provided information certifying the site met the no exposure exclusion from NPDES
Storm Water Pennitting and therefore no longer requires coverage under the general permit. In
accordance with your request, NPDES General Permit NCG030062 is rescinded, effective immediately.
Please be advised that this permit rescission is based wholly upon your statement that the
activities which would require general permit coverage at the site have ceased or been eliminated.
Division staff has not visited the site to obtain independent verification. Operating a treatment facility,
discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of stormwater to waters of the State without a valid
NPDES permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day. Enforcement
action will be certain for persons that have voluntarily relinquished permit coverage when, in fact,
continuing permit coverage was necessary. If, in retrospect, you feel the site still requires permit
coverage, you should notify this office immediately. Furthermore, if in the future you wish to again
discharge to the State's surface waters, you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would
inform the new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Bob Sledge at [phone], extension

GENERAL:
The facility was last inspected on April 9, 2002 by the Mecklenburg County Water Quality
Program. (MCWQP). A Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report was issued on April 19, 2002
PERMIT:
The current permit became effective on October 1, 1997 and expired on August 31, 2002.
Until the permit is renewed, the facility will continue to operate under the terms and conditions of
the expired permit. The permit authorizes the discharge of treated groundwater to an unnamed
tributary to Long Creek.
The facility treats contaminated groundwater through a groundwater remediation system
(GWRS), which consists of three active recovery wells, an equalization tank, a diffused aeration
tank, two particulate filters in parallel, and two activated carbon adsorption vessels in parallel.
The permit properly describes the facility and appears adequate for the waste stream being
treated. The thcility submitted an application for permit renewal and received a written. reply from
DWQ dated March 14, 2002 stating that "If this staff delays reissuance of NC0086002 the
existing requirements in your permit will remain in effect until the permit is renewed (or the
Division takes other action)."
RECORDS/REPORTS:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's) were reviewed for the period January 2002
through December 2002. The reports appeared to be properly completed.
Records, reports, and logs for the groundwater • remediation system are clear and well
maintained; no discrepancies were noted.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW:
The facility discharges to an unnamed tributary to Long Creek, which is a Class
water in the Catawba River Basin,
Ail of the major components of the remediation system were in service and appeared to be
operating properly at the time of the inspection.

FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Part 1.A of the facility NPDES permit requires continuous recording flow measurement
at the effluent if the discharge is continuous or a weekly instantaneous flow estimate if the
discharge is intermittent.
The facility obtains weekly instantaneous flow estimates from, a non -recording totalizer
flow meter on the effluent discharge line. Since discharges from the facility are not continuous,
this method of flow measurement is acceptable.
LABORATORY:
Analysis of effluent samples is performed by Research & Analytical Laboratories, Inc.
Research & .Analytical Laboratories, Inc. is certified by the State of North Carolina to perform
analysis on all parameters specified in the permit (NC Certification #34). Research & Analytical
Laboratories. Inc. was not evaluated under this inspection.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The facility was discharging at the tune of the inspection. No floating solids, foam, or
odors were noted around the discharge pipe.
The discharge point consists of a vegetated riprap-lined ditch, which flows to Long Creek,
a. WS-IV water in the Catawba. River Basin.
SELF MONITORLNG PROGRAM:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (D MR's), laboratory analytical reports, and operational
logs were reviewed for the period January 2002 through December 2002. The reports indicate
that the facility was in compliance with permit effluent lints and monitoring requirements during
this period.
Research &
fa.cilit
ical Laboratories;. Inc, personnel conduct effluent sampling at the
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The facility and site appeared well operated and maintained, The site operator performs
routine preventative maintenance on all components of the system and has an adequate inventory
of supplies and spare parts on site and/or readily available.

GENERAL:
The facility was last inspected on June 20, 2001 by the Mecklenburg County Department
of Environmental Protection (MCDEP). A Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report was issued
on July 10, 2001.
PERMIT:
The current permit became effective on October 1., 1997 and expires on August 31, 2002.
The permit authorizes the discharge of treated groundwater to an unnamed tributary to Long
Creek.
The facility treats contaminated groundwater through a groundwater remediation system
(OWRS), which consists of three active recovery wells, an equalization tank, a diffused aeration
tank, two particulate filters in parallel, and two activated carbon adsorption vessels in parallel.
The permit properly describes the facility and appears adequate for the waste stream
being treated. The facility submitted an application for permit renewal on March 25, 2002.
RECORDS/REPORTS:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's) were reviewed for the period January 2001
through December 2001. The reports appeared to be properly completed.
Records, reports, and logs for the groundwater remediation system are clear and well
maintained; no discrepancies were noted.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW:
The facility discharges to an unnam d. tribu rry to Long Creek, which is a Class WS-IV
water in the Catawba River Basin.
All of the major components of the remediation system were in service and appeared to
be operating properly at the time of the inspection.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Part I.A of the facility NPDES permit requires continuous recording flow measurement
at the effluent if the discharge is continuous or a weekly instantaneous flow estimate if the
discharge is intermittent.
The facility obtains weekly instantaneous flow estimates from a non -recording totalizer
flow meter on the effluent discharge line. Since discharges from the facility are not continuous,
this method of flow measurement is acceptable.

LABORATORY:
Analysis of effluent samples is performed by Research & Analytical Laboratories, Inc.
Research & Analytical. Laboratories, Inc. is certified by the State of North Carolina to perform
analysis on all parameters specified in the permit (NC Certification #34). Research & Analytical
Laboratories, Inc. was not evaluated under this inspection.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The facility was not discharging at the time of the inspection. No floating solids, foam, or
odors were noted around the discharge pipe.
The discharge point consists of a vegetated riprapined ditch, which flows to Long
Creek, a WS-IV water in the Catawba. River Basin.
SELF MONITORING PROGRAM:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's), laboratory analytical reports, and operational
logs were reviewed for the period January 2001 through December 2001. The reports indicate
that the facility was in compliance with permit effluent limits and monitoring requirements
during this period.
Research & Analytical Laboratories, Inc. personnel conduct effluent sampling at the
facility.
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The facility and site appeared well operated and maintained. The site operator performs
routine preventative maintenance on all components of the system and has an adequate inventory
of supplies and spare parts on site and/or readily available.

PART IV - ,DIALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee, Livingston Coating Corporation is applying for renewal of the permit to
discharge wastewater from the groundwater remediation system existing at their „facility, During
the investigation, The ORC, Mr. Glenn .Price asked for a reduction in monitoring requirements
since the facility' is showing compliance for the past several years. The DMRs in Mooresville
show compliance since January 2.006 and the monitoring data may lead to a suspicion that
recovery wells may not be adequate and not doing/ a good job of recovering the contaminants. A
discussion with George Adams, with the "Inactive Hazardous Sites" in Mooresville concurs with
our suspicion that the recovery wells may not be adequate and not doing a good„ job of recovering
the contaminants and therefore., hewill re-evaluate the site and see if additional wells are needed
in order to provide a better remediation. He indicated that it may take him from 6 months to a
year to re-evaluate the site,
Given the compliance 'record at the Livingstone Coating Corporation, it is recommended
that the facility monitoring be reduced. to quarterly until re-evaluation of the site by the Inactive
Hazardous Sites; at which time the monitoring requirements will be up -dated accordingly.
Pending review and approval by the Western NPDES Prog,ram. Unit, it is recommended that the
permit be re -issued.

Class PC I
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 143-2151 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15,
2007 (or as subsequently amended). There is one change from the draft permit sent to you on December
7,2011.
• Monitoring requirements have been changed to Quarterly from Monthly for 1, 2 Dichloroethane
and Tetrachloroethene.
There are the following changes to this permit from your old permit:
Monitoring requirements have been changed to Quarterly from Monthly for 1,1-Dichloroethene, 1,1-
Dichloroethane, 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, Methylene Chloride, Chloroform, and Chromium due to lack
of reasonable potential for these pollutants to cause an exceedance of water quality standards,
The limit and monitoring have been removed for nickel as the result of EPA required statistical
analysis of DMR records.
An EPA required statistical analysis of DMR records shows that iron has Reasonable Potential to
exceed water quality standards. However, iron is an Action Level Parameter; the facility routinely
passes Chronic Toxicity tests, so no limit is required. Monitoring is changed to quarterly.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days
after receiving this letter. Your request must take the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter

A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or
"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent
versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July„ and October. Effluent sampling
for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure, performed as the first test of any single quarter, results in a failure or ChV below the
permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following
months,. as described in "North Carolina Phase 11 Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -
February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic .value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does
have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection
methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic
Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicitytesting results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR -I) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the
pass/fail results and THP'3B for the Chronic Value. .Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the
following address:
Attention:
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Enviromnental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 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, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature.
Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be tneasured 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 perrnittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be
required during the 'following month.
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 immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month
following the month of the initial -monitoring.

Treatment System Components. Components to this groundwater rernediation system consist of an
equalization tank, a diffused aeration tank, an activated carbon absorption vessel, and two retention
ponds.
WLA Summary. This treatment system requires an individual NPDES permit because Pollutants of
concern (POCs) include carcinogenic chlorinated solvents (not simply gasoline and diesel fuel), and because
of WS (water supply) stream classification requirements. This Class I treatment facility is designed to
remediate groundwater contaminated with chlorinated solvents,
Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Testing. Livingstone Coating has a perfect toxicity test record = WET
testing results from January 2002 through December 2005 indicate "pass."
Renewal Pollutants of Concern. The Division evaluated "reasonable potential" for each POC based on
four years of monthly data submitted by the permittee (Discharge Monitoring Reports January 2002 through
December 2005). To establish reasonable potential, the Division compared each POC's predicted maximum
to both freshwater criteria and water supply (WS) criteria, choosing whichever criteria was lower to be
environmentally conservative. If a given POC was not detected during the referenced monitoring period, the
Division assumed that there was no reasonable potential. For renewal, the monitoring of such POCs was
reduced from 2/Month to Monthly, and the limits were removed from the permit (Table 2). Metals
RPAlrenewal actions are summarized in Table 3.

Summary of Renewal Strategy
The permittee has submitted lab results with the renewal application indicating three POC's detected in the
influent — 1,1 dichloroethene (1,1 DCE), 1,1 dichloroethane (1,1 DCA), and 1,1,1 tichloroethane (1,1,1
TCA). Per Division guidance, monitoring (without limits) for these POCs will continue for this discharge to
WS-1V waters under "zero flow" conditions. The Division has not included permit limits for these POCs in
the absence of reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards, noting that none of these three
parameters have been detected during 75 sample events covering the entire permit cycle. Discharge
monitoring includes quarterly chronic WET testing. Moreover, an onsite post -effluent holding pond further
protects water quality. Discharge from this pond occurs only with considerable dilution during sustained
rainfall.

A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no fime exhibit. observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodophnia dubut at an effluent concentration of 90 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum. quarterlymonitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised Fehniary 1998, or subsequent versions or
"North Carolina Phase '11. Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent
versions. The tests will be performed during the:months of January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling
for this testing shall he performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all -treatment processes.
If the test procedure, performed as the first test_ of any single quarter, results in a failure or ChV below the
permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following
months, as described in "North Carolina Phase 11 Chronic V Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -
February 1998) or subsequent. versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration -tests will be determined, using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does
have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection
methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase lit Chronic
Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered. on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code 'TGP3B for the
pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value, Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the
following address:

Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environme-ntal, 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, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature.
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, monitoring will he
required during the following month.
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 he 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 immediate .follow-up testing to be completed no later than the lastday of the month
following the month of the initial monitoring.

at 240 Rhyne Road. The retention pond receiving the discharge from the treatment system also
receives on site stormwater drainage. Water rarely discharges from this pond. Samples are taken
from the head of the ditch where water is discharged as it leaves the treatment system prior to
collection and adsorption/evaporation in the retention pond. During excessive rainfall events this
pond does discharge into a UT of Long Creek. It is recommended that the NPDES permit be
renewed for this facility.

Dear Mr, Moncrief;
ARR 5 2002
The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on March 27, 2002. Thank you for
submitting this package.
The permit renewal for this facility has been assigned to Mike Myers. This staff member will
contact you if further information is needed to complete the permit renewal. Please note that the
NPDES Unit has several vacant positions. This staff shortage has lasted for over 4 years and is
delaying all permit renewals. Our remaining permit writers are currently reviewing Authorizations
to Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit modifications and 201 plan updates ahead of
permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in
the statutes which govern our program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NC0086002 the existing requirements in your permit will
remain in effect until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We appreciate
your patience and understanding while we operate with a severely depleted staff. If you have any
additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact Mike Myers at (919)

These are:
ALTERNATIVES TO SURFACE WATER DISC
ee practical routes for disposal of ground water pump and treat system effluent.
1. sanitary sewer system discclTarge;
2. re -infiltration; and
surface water discharge.
Sanitary Sewer System Discharge
No public sanitary sewer system exists at the site nor would Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utility
Department allow such discharge if a sanitary sewer was available per their notification of
2/29/96. Therefore discharge to such a system is not an option.
Re -infiltration
Re -infiltration of the discharge would require the construction of an infiltration gallery or
injection well. The Mecklenburg County Health Department and the NC DENR-DEH state
that the soils on site are unsuitable for construction of additiorial leach fields for disposal of
domestic sewage and therefore would never be able to accommodate the volume of flow
generated by a ground water remediation system.
Surface Water Discharge
Surface water on the site currently drains in a westerly direction through a sediment basin
to an unnamed tributary to Long Creek. This pathway provides a ready location for a
surface water discharge. Surface water discharge is considered the only technically feasible
discharge option.

AJTERNATIVES TO SURFACE WATER DISCHARGE'.
There are three practical routes for disposal of ground water pump and treat system effluent.
These are:
sanitary sewer system discharge;
nfiltration; and
surface water discharge.
Sanitary Sewer System, Discharge
No public sanitary sewer system exists at the site nor would Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utility
Department allow such discharge if a sanitary sewer was available per their notification of
2/29/96. Therefore discharge to such a system is not an option.
Re -infiltration
Re -infiltration of the discharge would require the construction of an infiltration gallery or
injection well. The Mecklenburg County Health Department and the NC DENR-DEH state
that the soils on site are unsuitable for construction of additional_leach fields. for disposal of
domestic sewage and therefore would never be able to accommodate the volume of flow
generated by a ground water rerrtediation system.
Surface Water Discharge
Surface water on the site currently drains in a westerly direction through a sediment basin.
to an unnamed tributary to Long Creek. This pathway provides a ready location for a
surface water discharge. Surface water discharge is considered the only technically feasible
discharge option.

effluent.
e;
No publac sanitary sewer system exists at the site nor would CMUD allow such discharge if a sanitary
sewer was available per their notification of / / . Therefore discharge to such a system is not an
option. Reintiltration of the discharge would require the construction of an infiltration gallery or injection
well, The Mecklenburg County Health Department and the NCDEHNR-DEH state that the soils on site
are unsuitable for construction of additional leach fields for disposal of domestic sewage and therefore
would never be able to accommodate the volume of flow generated by a ground water remediation
system. Surface water on the site currently drains in a westerly direction through a sediment basin to an
unnamed tributary to Long Creels This pathway provides a ready location for a surface water discharge.
Surface water discharge is considered the only technically feasible discharge option.

Engineer Proposal Detailing the Remediation Project
1.0 General Description of System
The ground water remediation technology scheme proposed for implementation at this site is a three step
process:
1) flow equalization
2) air stripping through a diffused aeration tank to remove the dissolved chlorinated
compounds; and
3) activated carbon adsorption as a final polishing step before discharge to an unnamed
tributary to Long Creek,
When compared to other treatment options outlined in this report, a system design including air stripping
via diffused aeration and activated carbon adsorption is the most reliable, field -proven and cost-effective
alternative.
2,0 Conceptual Design
2 1 GroundWaterJR
The proposed ground water recovery system for the site consists of one recovery well (the Livingstone
supply well), which is expected to contain the contaminant plume and facilitate the removal of
contaminated ground water. The location of the recovery well is shown on Figure 3.
The ground water recovery system will operate using the existing total fluids electric submersible pump
installed in the recovery well. The pumping rate will be set to create a zone of drawdown, or a capture
zone, around the recovery well. This drawdown will induce contaminated ground water to flow toward
the recovery well, and thus be captured. The operation of the total fluids pump will be controlled by a
pressure switch located on the influent line in order to facilitate the efficient removal of contaminated
ground water, An initial flow rate of 15 gallons per minute (gpm) has been assumed for the recovery
well based on maximum sustainable flow determined during a recent pump step test. A design flow rate
of 15 gpm was used to calculate equipment sizes. Should additional recovery wells be required at a later
date, or if the required ground water recovery rate is greater than anticipated, the system can easily be
modified to treat the increased flow rate. Design calculations are based on field data from the pump test.

Engineer Proposal Detailing the Remo:1'1;16°n Project
page 2
2.2 Ground Water, Treatment System
The rernediation system consists of the following:
• a 500 gallon polyethylene equalization tank;
• a 4' x 6' diffused aeration tank with blower; and,
• activated carbon adsorption
A 500 gallon equalization tank will provide flow equalization for the remediation system. The
equalization tank will be equipped with a tank -full probe/float system, which will prevent overfilling of
the tank.
A totalizing flow meter installed at the intake of the equalization tank will continuously record the amount
of ground water that has been transferred from the recovery well into the treatment system.
Effluent from the equalization tank will drain via gravity into a channeled diffused aeration tank. This
tank will be four feet wide by six feet long by two feet deep. The aeration tank is divided into six
sections by five baffles. The baffles are used to increase the detention time in the tank, which increases
the VOC removal efficiency. The diffused aeration tank functions by volatilizing the organic compounds
and thus "stripping" them from the water. The diffused aeration tank will contain an emergency high
level float which will close a solenoid valve in the influent line in the event that the water level rises
above a determined high level. This will prevent overfilling the diffused aeration tank. A pressure
blower will introduce air into the aeration tank through six perforated PVC pipes installed one inch above
the bottom of the aeration tank. The pressure blower will force approximately SOO cubic feet per minute
(CEA) of air through the perforated pipes, aerating the water. The diffused aeration tank and pressure
blower design calculations are located at the end of this report. The blower will be equipped with a
pressure switch that will close a solenoid valve in the influent line in the event that the air pressure
decreases. This prevents the accidental discharge of untreated water in the event of blower failure. A
sample port will be installed in the influent line to the equalization tank to provide data to measure the
effectiveness of the air stripping process and monitor the influent ground water concentrations.

Engineer Proposal Detailing the Remmliation Project
Page 3
The detention time for water flowing through the aeration tank is approximately 16 minutes for the
estimated average ground water flow rate of 15 gpm and an assumed water depth in the aeration tank of
eighteen inches (18").
The groundwater will flow from the diffused aeration tank into a collection tank. The groundwater will
then be pumped from the collection tank through an activated carbon adsorption vessel. Activated carbon
adsorption provides a final polishing step, before the treated groundwater is discharged. Sample ports
will be installed before and after the carbon adsorption unit to monitor the treatment efficiency of the
adsorption system. As the activated carbon adsorbs the organics from the waste stream, the carbon
eventually becomes saturated and the exhausted carbon must be regenerated or replaced. After carbon
adsorption, the treated effluent will then be discharged into an unnamed tributary to Long Creek.
2.3 Effluent Disposal
Effluent will be discharged along with site storm water to an unnamed tributary of Long Creek. Surface
water discharge is considered the only technically feasible alternative for effluent disposal.
2.4 Air Emissions
Air emissions from the ground water treatment system will be below allowable thresholds (Table 5).
Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection will be notified of the treatment system
emissions.
3.0 Basis for Selection of Recommended Remediation
The basis for selection of ground water recovery over in -situ treatment is the need to contain the
contaminant plume. In -situ methods for ground water treatment, such as air sparging, can cause
migration of contaminants. This could result in movement of the contaminant plume towards surrounding
supply wells.
3.1 Aquifer Test Result.s.
A variable rate pumping test was conducted on May 29, 1996, using the supply well at the Livingstone
facility. The aquifer test was conducted during regular shift work at the facility and water usage for the
plant was not interrupted. Because water was available for production purposes throughout the test, strict

Engineer Proposal Detailing the Remediatkm Project
page 4
control of the pumping rate was not possible, as in a conventional steptest. The flow during the five -hour
test was metered to determine the average flow for each interval.
Supply well records indicate that the well is approximately 300 feet deep and the pump is set
approximately 200 feet below ground surface. The well is cased to 50 feet below ground surface with
an open six-inch borehole to the total depth.
Plant records indicate that approximately 1500 to 2000 gallons of water are pumped from the well on an
average day (one to one and one-half gallons per minute). Water usage is for general cleaning, toilets
and limited processing. The supply well is not used for potable water.
The objectives of the aquifer test were to gauge potential yield from the Livingstone supply well; evaluate
drawdown within the supply well; evaluate influence of supply well pumping on surrounding bedrock
monitoring wells; and to determine if supply well pumping for remediation purposes could be conducted
without interfering with the facility's production schedule.
A pressure transducer was placed in the supply well at approximately 75 feet below ground surface. The
depth to water in the supply well at the beginning of the test was approximately 25 feet below ground
surface.
Water levels were measured in the surrounding bedrock monitoring wells (MW-6, MW-12, MW-13,
MW-14 and MW-15) using electronic water level indicators. Water levels were measured in the bedrock
monitoring wells before the start of the test and at intervals throughout the duration of the pumping and
recharge. The water level data is summarized on Table 4.
A discharge hose was connected to the supply well and routed to a lined, 20 cubic yard roll -off box. The
discharge hose was equipped with a valve and flow meter to control and monitor the discharge rate. In
addition to this discharge point, facility -wide water usage was monitored by a system totalizing flow
meter.

Engineer Proposal Detailing the Remediation Project
Page 5
The pumping test began at a rate of five gallons per minute (gpm) discharging to the lined roll -off box.
In addition, facility usage was approximately three to four gpm during the first 90 minutes of the test,
for a total rate of about eight and one-half gpm initially.
After 90 minutes, the discharge to the roll -off box was increased to approximately 14 gpm and facility
usage added another one and one-half gpm for a total of 15 1/2 gpm. This approximate pumping rate
was maintained for one hour.
After 150 total minutes of pumping, the discharge valve was opened fully. The maximum discharge rate
from the hose was approximately 15 1/2 gpm and the facility usage increased the actual pumping rate to
17 gpm. The supply well was pumped at this rate for approximately two more hours.
Drawdown in the supply well was monitored continuously by a pressure transducer. During the first 90
minutes of the pumping test, drawdown within the supply well increased to 15 feet below the initial water
level.
During the second pumping rate step, drawdown continued to increase to a maximum of about 36 feet.
Toward the end of this period, the pumping rate decreased slightly and drawdown decreased to 22 feet.
For the final pumping rate step, drawdown again increasedo 36 feet and maintained this level for the
remainder of the pumping test.
Graphs of the supply well drawdown and the pumping rate are shown on Figure 12. The lefthand vertical
axis shows the drawdown (in feet) below the initial water level in the supply well. The righthand vertical
axis shows the total average pumping rate for each interval (in gallons per minute). The horizontal axis
shows the time expired since the beginning of the test.
The ground water levels in bedrock monitoring wells MW-6, MW-12, MW-13, MW-14 and MW-15 were
measured at approximately 30-minute intervals throughout the plumping test. Monitoring well MW-6
showed an immediate response to the supply well pumping with one-half foot of drawdown after 30

Engineer Proposal Detailing the Remediation Project
page 6
minutes of pumping. The maximum drawdown achieved in MW-6 was almost two feet. Monitoring well
MW-6 is located approximately 270 feet due north of the pumping well.
Monitoring well MW-13 showed a slightly delayed response to the supply well pumping with
approximately two -tenths of a foot of drawdown after 90 minutes of pumping. The maximum drawdown
achieved in MW-13 was over one and one-half feet. Monitoring well MW-13 is located approximately
250 feet northwest of the pumping well.
Monitoring well MW-12, located 80 feet north-northeast of the supply well, may have shown a slight
response to the pumping. Drawdown in MW-12 was less than two -tenths of a foot. Monitoring wells
MW-14 and MW-15 did not show any response to this limited pumping test.
Graphs of the water level drawdown in the bedrock monitoring wells during the pumping test are shown
on Figure 13. The slope of the drawdown for MW-6 corresponds with the increases in pumping rate.
The water levels in the supply well and the bedrock monitoring wells were measured after pumping
ended. Figure 12 shows the water level in the supply well returning to the initial level (and higher)
within 15 minutes of ending the pumping test.
Monitoring well MW-6 also recovered rapidly, returning almost to the static level within 45 minutes of
the end of pumping (Figure 13), Monitoring well MW-13 had not begun to recharge within one hour
of the end of pumping.
This pumping test was of limited duration (less than five hours) and rate. The pumping rate was limited
by the size of the discharge hose. At the maximum rate pumped (17 gpm), only 20% of the potential
drawdown (175 feet) was achieved.
Even with the above limitations, the pumping test conducted on the Livingstone supply well has indicated
the following:
the supply well will likely yield in excess of 20 gpm;

Engineer
Page 7
overpumping of the supply well will serve as a hydraulic control for the bedrock aquifer;
and,
the supply well can be pumped for remedial purposes without disrupting the facility
operations.
4.0 Ground Water Treatment System
4.1 System Efficiency
The major constituents identified in the ground water at the facility are highly volatile and have low
aqueous solubilities. The Henry's constants for these compounds are relatively high. A high Henry's
constant for a particular compound indicates that the compound has a greater potential for volatilization
when exposed to air. An aeration system consisting of a diffused aeration tank is ideally suited for
efficient VOC removal. The proposed system is engineered to keep efficiency high and maintenance
requirements to a minimum. Figure 14 illustrates the treatment system schematic.
4.2 Control and Safety F t•-! tnres
Each component of the proposed ground water recovery and treatment system will be equipped with
operation controls and safety features. The control panel will be UL listed as required by the
Mecklenburg County building codes.
The equalization tank will be equipped with a conductivity probe and tank full float. The probe and float
switch will be capable of shutting off the influent to prevent overfilling. A float system will also be
incorporated into the aeration unit as well as an air pressure sensor to close the influent line to the
treatment system if the discharge line is clogged or the pressure blower does not deliver sufficient
pressure to the aeration tank.
43 System Security
The entire treatment system will be constructed inside the Livingstone Manufacturing facility. Signs will
be posted indicating that it is a wastewater treatment facility. A "Delta Environmental Consultants, Inc."
sign with emergency telephone number and a "No Smoking" sign will also be posted.

Engineer Proposal Detailing the Remediation Project
page 8
5.0 Operation and Maintenance
The entire recovery system is designed to operate on a twenty four-hour, seven day week basis. The
ground water submersible pump is designed to operate on an automated cycling basis. Monthly
maintenance inspections will be performed and will include cleaning the aeration tank, lubricating
bearings, control system checks, cleaning level probes and pumps. Operating system data will also be
recorded monthly to allow system operating efficiency to be evaluated. The system will be visited on
a quarterly basis by Delta personnel.
6.0 Monitoring Plan
6.1 Ground Water
Water levels in the saprolite monitoring wells will be measured on a quarterly basis for the first year and
semi-annually thereafter. The recovery well and MW-12, MW-13, MW-14, and MW-15 will be sampled
weekly for the first month, monthly for the first quarter, and quarterly for the first year and semi-
annually thereafter. All monitoring wells will be sampled quarterly for the first year and semi-annually
thereafter. Samples will be submitted to a subcontract laboratory for analysis by EPA Method 601.
6,2 Em ent Monitoring
Effluent monitoring requirements for surface water discharge to the unnamed tributary of Long Creek
will be established through the NPDES permit that will be issued to Livingstone by the Water Quality
Section of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and. Natural Resources.
7.0 Reporting
Quarterly or semi-annual reports in relationship to the sampling schedule will be submitted to the
Mooresville Regional Office within 45 days of the end of the preceding quarter. These reports will
consist of NCDEM form GW-79/5-94 and supporting documentation to include laboratory reports,
discharge monitoring reports, a potentiometric surface map and 1,1 DCE isoconcentration maps of the
surficial and bedrock aquifers.

REMARKS:

REMOVAL E fNOES
The major consconstituents identified in the ground water at the facility are highly volatile and have lover
aqueous solubilities. The Henryconstants for these compounds are relatively high. A high Henry's
constant for a particular compound indicates that the compound has a greater potential for volatilization
when exposed to air. An aeration system consisting of a diffits.* aeration tank is ideally suited for
efficient VOC removals The proposed sstern is engineered to keep efficiency high and maintenance
requirements to a minimum. Figure 14 illustrates the treatment system schematic.

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 alreadydone 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. -Fhe 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
(DWQ Form MR. -I), plus instructions for completing the .form. It is imperative that all applicable
parts be completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee may be
required for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our Raleigh Office. It is
imperative that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent enforcement action or possible
revocation of your permit,

The remainingparts 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
unitiprocess 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 andlor 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 Perrnittee
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 NPDE.S 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 1.80 days
prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit. This date is set forth on
Page I. of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Pemiits are not .automatically transferable. If you, as
the Perminee, 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.

The effluent discharge shall at no time, exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dttbia at an effluent concentration of 90 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, ,gatir(erly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or
"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent
versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July, and October Effluent sampling
for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
IT the test procedure, performed as the first test of any single quarter, results in a failure or Chl/ below the
permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum., in each of the two
following months, as described in "North Carolina Phase 11 Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"'
(Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined 'using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no detectable impairment. of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does
have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment.," collection
methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase 1.1. Chronic
Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" tRevised-Februa„ry 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the .Effluent Discharge

<1 sample collected over a 24-hour period by cr ntinuous sampling; or combining grab samples of at least '10{l rnfl in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of th.e wastewater discharge during the sample period. Tire
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and sire of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case-bv--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.t Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samplers 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
ith 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 rime/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over, a 24-hour period ttt
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 sue and of no less than 100 milliliters, Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.

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 (arithrnetic 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- 'n
Part I of the perrnit,
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration'', It is identified as "Daily
'Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part 1 of the permit.
d. The "'average annual concentration,'" other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled. and measured divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values), The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples
collected during that calendar day The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the
geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is
identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of
dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to .discharge averaged over a
calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is
considered to be the "daily average concentration for the discharge. It is identified as "daily
average" in the text of Part I.
f. The "'quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I ot the permit.

7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged
monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the
calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when
both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
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 per od of discharge
and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sannpk.
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 shali 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 t me not
exceeding .15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually, Grab samples must bt.
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a ArithmeticMean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the sumrnation of the in v dual
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.

caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment tacilities, 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..
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this
permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has
the burden of proof.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of
wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such
as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable
waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations
governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued
by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and
modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The
permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of
Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit
is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing
Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices.
7, Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation,
Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the
discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by
means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated cftlut,nt.
