RE: Engineering Certification for Permit No. WQ0035524
McKee Creek Outfall - Mecklenburg County
Woolpert Project No. 071769
Dear Ms. Anita Reed:
The construction of the proposed facilities listed in Permit No. WQ0035524 is
substantially complete with the exception of the demolitions of the Stewarts Crossing
Pump Station, Turtle Rock Pump Station, Woodbury Pump Station, Avensong pump
station, the final flow diversion to abandon the Lamplighter WWTP and final surface
restorations throughout the project.
The Contractor is planning to transfer the flow from the Lamplighter WWTP into the
McKee Outfall Line H on January 16, 2012. The plant abandonment and clean-up effort
is scheduled to occur directly after the flow transfer.
I've enclosed the second Partial Engineer's Certification for this project noting the
sewer infrastructure is substantially complete above Manhole 38. The section of the
project below Manhole no. 38 and pump station abandonment trunks were included in
the prior partial certification dated December 12, 2012. Once the contractor
completes the remaining pump station demolition efforts and the ground surface
restorations are complete, I will submit a final certification for the entire project.
Woolpert is also sending a copy of this letter to the Mooresville Regional Office as a
notification of the partial activation.
Please contact me at 704.526.3114 if you have any questions concerning the project.
Best regards,
Woolpert North Carolina, PLLC

Thanks for your asslstar'ae ita lir:ing up an inspection of this facility cleanup. If there's any way this Inspection can be
scheduled for tlals Thursday, Jan, 31., that would be ideal. I'm available anytime on Thursday to meet out there with
whomever your department designates, 1°ll await your phone call on this,
The attachments are from Paul Smith's (Woolpert) e-mail below and are just FYI. The reior request letter €s]ust a
draft and is nut finalized yet. As Paul alludes to in his e-mail, well get it finalized and maned soon after the inspection of

Chuck -- Attached is a la r aplighter rescission letter draft but it needs a few more pieces of information, I called DWO.
and found out the letter should be addressed to Bob Sledge, I was also inforrned that the plant cleanup should be
inspected by the NCDENR Mooresville office prior to the rescission request to avoid any Lability. I know you were trying
to set the inspection up for early next week. I recommend referencing the date of the inspection in the rescission
request letter.
1'rn not sure if the piant permit was officially transferred to CMUD after the acquisitirar a. The sale and transfer of
ownership will also need to be referenced in the letter along with attaching the order, I don't have that transfer
information so CMUD or Utilities Inc will need to fill in the blanks and finalize the Getter. I highlighted the blanks in the

letter., Also attached is the sample letter Martin .supplied, the Parti i Pngineer`s Certifkatr n and the WWTP permit.
Just let me know if you need any further assistance,
Thanks,
Paul

Chuck, I can draft that letter for CMUD to issue but I would need some of the plant permit informa tiort to reference. On
the McKee partial certificat'son,1 indicated that the plant flow was going to be diverted and the plant cleanout effort
would directly follow. As far as permitting„ I'm only aware of the improvements within the McKee Outfall Plan Set being
permitted with NCLJENR. That permit did include the 04) pump station abandonment trunks and the Lamplighter trunk
liras and their associated flows, I will also need to send a final certification for the Mctsee permit once all the project
work is complete. I was waiting for the pump station demolitions to be completed along with some surface restorations.
The annexation trunks were not included in our permitting efforts so those may have been self -permitted by CMUD.

Martin f just spoke to BioNomics and the t)lant is basically cleaned out. They stilt need to vacuum out the filter
backwash tank and spray the plant with disinfectant and get the vacuum box ,off the site, We will go ahead and
schedule the inspection with NCDENR for first part of next week, So yes let's say the end of January. We will also get
the permit rescinded letter written and sent in. Thanks for all your guys work on operating this plant over the last
several months. BioNomiics said there is some .S gal buckets and other debris at the site, Can we please get that stuff
picked up and disposed of? is there anything else such as chiernicals that need to be removed` Basically just want
metal, wood and concrete left at the siteWe should be getting the demolition contract for this plant and the others in
place this spring.
George -a I spoke with Jon Peigler and he gave me the update. Have you gotten the n°iamfest from Republic to get the.
sludge box hauled to the landfill? If we can get the sludge box hauled off that would be great. Then please call NCDENR
to see if they can come out and inspect the plant early next week, like Tuesday. Jon said he would be 100% done by
then. What key lock have we been putting on these plants?

Dear Mr, Highly:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0025259 was issued on. November 13, 2003
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 sarnpling 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-1), plus instructions for completing the form. It is imperative that all applicable
parts be completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee may be
required for your facility. You will soon he 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
revocationof 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
unitlprocess failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater treatment plant
operator if you are operating wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in operation of
wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or discharged,
expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by this
Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permitsubjects 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.

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

Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportit nag 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 tirne 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 th n 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 he 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 ncr less than 100 n esters, Use of this method
requires priorapproval 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 may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period.
Continuous Clow measurement
Flow monitoring that .occurs wit. u't 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 tin the flow device,
Daly Discharge
The discharge of lutant measured during s7 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
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).

Subject: NPDES Permit Renewal Application
Permit NC0025259
Lamplighter East Subdivision WWTP
Mecklenburg County
The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on June 6, 2003. Thank you for
submitting this package.
The permit renewal for this facility has been assigned to a staff member. 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 NC0025259 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
Charles Weaver at [phone], extension 511.

Dear Mr. Lashua:
Thank you for the letter and design drawings you faxed to this office yesterday. I have reviewed your
request to modify the sludge tank design and to proceed under the Authorization to Construct issued for
this project on July 26`h
It appears from the information you provided that the modified sludge tank is substantially the same in
size and function as the tank already approved. The proposed changes are within the range of discretion
the Division normally allows permittees and their contractors under an ATC. Therefore, it is not
necessary for Carolina Water Service to submit modified drawings for formal review and approval before
proceeding. Instead, the changes should be noted in the project's Engineering Certification, and CWS
should provide as -built drawings at that time.
Feel free to call me at [phone], extension 541, if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Templeton,
Your Division issued an "Authorization to Construct" for the above facility on July 26,
2001. It is our intent to modify the existing facility and convert to extended aeration for
improved treatment. This modification involves adding an "externa1'. digester tank.
Your department graciously extended the implementation of reduced permit limits until
October 31, 2001. Therefore, we have very limited time to complete this project. Became
of site conditions, complexity and time constraints, we wish to make a revision to the
plans. It is our desire to install a tank with a steel bottom onto a flat concrete slab rather
than a "cylinder" onto a concrete "floor" LAS approved, Please see attached a section view of
the approved and the proposed tank bottom and foundation details. By using the proposed
method, we can get the tank prepped at our contractor's yard, ship it to the site in one piece
and quickly install it. The original approved method will necessitate more complicated
construction and involve much more labor time.
We feel that the proposed change is a simple one and would like to have permission to
correct the plans with "As -Built" rather than re -submittal,

subject permit, which affect the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements pages.
Please find enclosed the revised permit pages. The revised pages should be inserted into your permit. The
old pages may then be discarded. All other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain
unchanged and in full effect. This permit modification is issued under the requirements of North Carolina
General Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit modification 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 a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of
the North Carolina General Statutes, filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service

/Day Measurernents
of 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 1 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 1 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

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 1 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 coliforrn 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 1 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". lt 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 Lirnits" in Part 1 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.
g-
The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit,
A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March,
April through June, July through September, and October through December.

Part 11
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
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 sarnpies collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual
values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the
individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is
equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values.
For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one
(1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration
times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.

Part II
Page 44 of 14
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the net 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

(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

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.

Part II

5.
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.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part 11, B. 2. of this
permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement pr
the burden of proof.

ing the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has
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 perrrtittee 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.

NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit Number NC005 1 632
Lamplighter Village East WWTP
Mecklenburg County
I have received your January 21, 2000 response to my request for additional in:forma , n regarding
the engineering alternatives analysis (EA) for the above referenced facility, Upon reviewing your continents, I
agree that there appears to he no cost-effective alternative to continued discharge. As such, the subject
NPDES permit will be drafted with existing effluent limitations for ROD. Current Division policy requires the
renewal to include effluent limitations for ammonia of 2,0 mg/L during the ,summer and 4!0 mg/L during the
winter, As compliance with these limitations is going to require modification of the treatment facility, I will
propose that a schedule of compliance be installed in the permit giving you time to complete necessary
modifications prior to implementation of these new limitations.
A draft NPDES permit is forthcoming. If you have any comments, questions, concerns regar
this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone], extension 555,

Dear Mr Lashua:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed the engineering alternatives analysis (EAA) for the above
referenced facility and offers he following comments:
The cost estimates provided for the plant upgrade and CMUD connection alternatives did not
include a present value analysis, The Division requires this analysis for all FAA. submittals. Such
an analysis provides a common basis for alternatives comparison over the long-term. A copy of the
Division's guidance document for EAA preparation is enclosed for your benefit
• The report indicated that no response from C.M.L.11) had been received to date. An update
regarding the status of CMUD's response would be appreciated, if no response has been received,
an at.ternpt should be made to contact CMUD via telephone. Additionally. the utility connection
'fee provided in the costs section of the connection alternative is identified as an estimate. Should
CMUD he willing to accept wastewater from the facility, the cost data should be revised based on
actual connection fees.
• It is the Division's experience that in order for most facilities to meet advanced tertiary effluent
limitations of 5.0 mg./1„.. BOD and 2.0 ing/L N.L1,-N, effluent filtration is necessary. The cost
information provided in the report did not indicate any intent to install filtration. The costs
associated with filter installation should be included with the report revised as necessary.
Thank you for your submittal of this report. Please forward responses to the above bullets to the

GUIDANCE FOR THE EVALUATION OF WASTEWATER DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES
it is the Division's mandate to assure the most environmentally sound alternative be selected from all
reasonably cost-effective options. Prior to the issuance of an NPDES discharge permit, complete
justification for the discharge must be made through a comprehensive Engineering Alternatives
Analysis (EAA)
The NPDES permit program was developed as a result of the Clean Water Act of 1972. The original.
goal of the program (as outlined in the Act) was the elimination of all surface water point source
discharges by 1985. Although we have not achieved this goal, we continue to strive toward it. In that
light, the completion of an EAA is a requirement of any individual or organization applying for a new or
expanding NPDES discharge permit (Title 15A NCAC 2H.01O5 (c) (2)). The purpose of this document is
to provide guidance to the regulated community for the evaluation of wastewater disposal alternatives.
The following outline should be used in the preparation of EAAs.
in the past, the environmental feasibility and economic feasibility of a particular disposal option have
been segregated. These should not be treated as mutually exclusive analyses. They are dependent on.
one another. When evaluating any of the alternatives discussed below, :both environmental and
economic feasibility should be addressed.
The following is an outline to be used in preparing an EAA. If any EAA submitted lacks any of these
basic pieces of information, it will be returned as incomplete.
I. General Information
A. Basic Identification of the Project
• Facility narne
• County
• Facility address
• Facility telephone number
■ EAA preparer's name
• EAA preparer's mailing address and telephone number
S, Provide a detailed description of the project which will require wastewater disposal.
All wastewater flows associated with this project should be calculated in accordance with
15A NCAC 2H .0219. Justification and demonstration of need should be provided for
expected flow volumes including any flow reductions realized through use of flow
restricting devices. For all alternatives, the use of flow -restricting or low -flow devices
should be investigated. A report of the findings should include flow reduction
projections.
C. If existing facilities will be used as part of an expansion, discuss those existing units
including present and past perfoiniance, unit capacities and inadequacies and provide a
schematic with component sizes.
D, Indicate if the project will be constructed in phases. Provide the estimated wasteflow
per phase. Indicate current phase status for existing facilities and provide a schedule for
construction of each additional phase.
Evaluation of Disposal Alternatives
The Engineering Alternatives Analysis should include an evaluation of any and all
disposal alternatives. The analysis should address all of the following options:
• Connection to a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (PO1'W)
• Connection to a privately owned treatment works
• Individual subsurface systems
• Community subsurface systems

GUIDANCE FOR THE EVALUATION OF WASTEWATER DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES
• Drip irrigation - both surface & subsurface
• Spray irrigation
• Reuse
• Surface water discharge through the NPDES program
• Any possible combination of the above options
A. Connection to a Sewer Collection System (served by a municipality or other entity
holding a valid NPDES or Non -Discharge Permit).
1. Existing Sewerage System: Indicate the distance to an existing sewer line within a five -mile
radius (extension of radius should be considered if cost effective for project size).
*NOTE: All connection options should include an evaluation of both a gravity line as well
as a force main with pump station(s).
(a) Provide a description of sewer facilities and resources necessary to connect to the
receiving wastewater treatment plant.
(b) Provide a preliminary indication of flow acceptance from municipal or private WWTPs
under consideration for connection. If a municipal or private VVWTP cannot accept the
wastewater, please explain.
(c) Attach a topographic map or a site drawing showing the physical route of this
alternative.
(d) Perform a Present Value of Costs Analysis for this alternative as outlined in Appendix A
of this document. Investigate cost -sharing options with other potential users.
2. Planned Sewerage System: Determine if an area wide sewerage system within a five mile
radius is projected to be available within the next five years to receive waste from the
project under study. Determine availability date and flow acceptance projection with
appropriate authority. Identify your contact in the public utility or private management
group that assisted you in this determination.
B. Land Based Disposal (Installation of nitrification systems, low pressure pipe systems,
drip irrigation, mound systems, and spray -irrigation systems).
1. Determine if the applicant currently owns land that is available and suitable for a
subsurface system.
(a) Provide a description of the facilities and resources necessary including a site plan
indicating the proposed layout.
(b) Provide a soil analysis that includes the information outlined in Appendix B of this
document.
(c) Provide calculations to determine the disposal capacity of the applicant's available land,
based on design and loading rate characteristics as well as appropriate regulations.
(d) Describe what modifications to the plan (such as reducing the number of units
produced, the reduction of design flow, etc.) would be necessary to allow for adequate
disposal using usable land on the site. This step should be performed if there is
insufficient usable land, considering the existing project development plan. If there is
not sufficient usable land, explain why not.
(e) Perform a Present Value of Costs Analysis for this alternative as outlined in Appendix A
of this document.
2. If there is insufficient land on the project site, determine if any additional land could be
acquired. Provide documentation of availability. If adjacent land could be acquired,
evaluate according to item B (1). If adjacent land is unavailable, provide documentation
from the owner stating such.
NOTE: Subsurface disposal systems require a 100% reserve area. Surface disposal
systems must be capable of treatment to secondary limits including disinfection.

Appendix A
Present Value of Costs
The Present Value of Costs Analysis (PVCA) is meant to evaluate all costs associated with a particular
disposal alternative over the life of the project. Prior to performing a PVCA for any of the alternatives,
all costs must be identified. The PVCA should include all monetary costs associated with construction,
startup and operation of a facility. Costs should include, but not be limited to, the following:
Capital. Costs
■ Land acquisition costs
• Equipment costs
• Labor costs
• Installation costs
• Design costs
Recurring Costs
• Operation and rnaintenance costs (with replacernent costs)
■ Laboratory costs assuming a weekly monitoring regime for discharge systerris and a monthly regime
for non -discharge systems
▪ Operator and support stale` costs
• Residual disposal costs
• Connection and subsequent user fees
• Permit and compliance fees
• Utility costs (power, water, etc.)
Opportunity Costs
NOTE: All cost information provided must be referenced. If vender quotes have been receivcd fo
treatment units or other components, they shall be included as well.
Present Value of Costs
Costs incurred in different time periods must be converted to a common time period before they can be
accurately combined or compared. Performing this calculation is known as "computing the present
value," or "discounting" the costs, Present value is also sometimes called "present discounted value" or
"present worth".
The following standard formula for computing the present value roust be used in all cost estimates
made under this evaluation guidance:
Where:
PV=C'
PV = Present value of costs.
Co = Costs incurred in the present year.
Ct = Costs incurred in time t.
t = Time period after the present year ( The present year is t ©)
n Ending year of the life of the facility.
r = Discount rate. For these calculations, an interest rate quoted by the lending institution
should be used. The interest rate quote should be provided with this analysis.
Page 4 of 5
.Engineering AitemattvEes Analysis; October 2i , 1998

GLANCE FOR THE EVALUATION OF WASTEATER DISPO AL ALTE
However, if the costs are the same in every time period from year one through year n (i.e.. Ct = C, a
constant for t = 1,2,..., n), then the formula reduces to:
PV=Co
In this case,
present value may also be looked up in a table containing the present value of
e
annuities (an annuity is a constant amount payable in each year for a certain number of years). Such
tables are available from financial institutions.
Appendix B
Soil Analysis Report Requirements
For all ne a ciiities
The EAA must include a detailed soil analysis report including, but not be limited to, the
following:
• A copy of field notes and boring log information
A soils site map overlain on a topographic map (county soil maps may be used for
delineating boring locations only, not for soil characterization).
• Soil characterization in terms of texture, structure, permeability, wetness and mineralogy
• Soil characterization to a depth of 48" or to a restrictive horizon
• Soil loading rate recommendations and land area requirements
The report should address the applicability of any surface or subsurface disposal alternative.

NPDES PERMIT #NCO25259
September 4, 1999
Recommendations:
Renew the existing NPDES Permit without modification.
If the existing NPDES Permit is modified, make necessary changes to the exis
plant for operation under the new permit requirements.
Conclusions:
g
Carolina Water Service, Inc.. (CWS) has consistently operated the present plant well
within NPDES requirements. The effluent quality is much greater than required in the
NPDES Permit.
No known negative environmental impact resulting from the existing plant discharge
is known. The plant has existed and operated at this location for more than twenty-
five years. The plant effluent supports lush vegetation: without the plant, the creek
would often be dry.
The plant could easily be converted to the extended aeration process to meet future
effluent requirements, if more stringent permit limits are shown to be necessary.
Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utility Department (CMUD) operates a regional system in the
area. A letter has been sent to CMUD requesting bulk service. Rejection is
anticipated.

a regional facility exceeds the cost to modify the existi
g
The negative environmental impact of pump station operation interruption is greater
than that of an interruption to current plant operation.
Land application of treated wastewater is not a reasonable consideration for this
facility as a result of neighborhood proximity and land and system installation cost.

Discussion:
The current NPDES Permit for the Lamplighter East WWTP is due for renewal. The primary
recommendation is to renew the existing permit without change. Should this not be
acceptable for any reason, three alternatives for action were considered for the possibility
that new permit limits would be promulgated. Those alternatives are:
• Modify the existing plant process to meet the new limits
• Transfer the wastewater to a regional facility (CMUD)
• Land apply the treated effluent
The operational record and absence of any negative impact on the receiving stream give
strong support to renewing the permit with no changes. This is the first recommendation and
it is believed to be the best for all' concerned. Besides continued operation without
environmental impact, all concerned parties will be relieved of unnecessary additional cost
and environmental risk.
Current operation produces an effluent which far exceeds the quality requirements of the
present NPDES Permit.. Attachment B shows the performance for the three years prior to
1999 relative to both BOD, (5-day biochemical oxygen demand) and TSR (total solids
residual). Current results reflect similar performance.
The receiving stream shows no negative effect from the effluent discharge. To the contrary,
the stream and environs appear healthy and even enriched as a result of the discharge.
There are no known complaints on record. Without the plant effluent, the creek would be
dry much of the year, reducing vegetation in and about the stream channel.
The current process is contact stabilization. Due to this configuration, nitrification is not
optimized:although some nitrification does take place as a result of the long solids retention
time (SRT). To enhance nitrification, a longer exposure of raw influent to the return MLSS is
required, preferable in a plug -flow regime. This is easily accomplished by joining the aerobic
digester, reaeration aeration tanks, and by redirecting the flow.of raw influent and return
sludge to the far end of the digester tank. The minimum SRT for nitrification is usually
around three days, but is preferred to be 8-10 days. This system is capable of holding MLSS
for a SRT of 30 days, assuring nitrification. The configuration of the existing process tanks
and the separation walls between them: encourage a plug flow regime.
As a result of these changes, a new digester tank will have to be installed. This only requires
a simple cylindrical tank with aeration for mixing and endogenous biological activity. A tank
with a 15,000 gallon capacity would work very well. A sludge pump would be added, as
well as a decant line back to the head of the aeration tank.

The Utility Department operates a regional collection system with a
potential connection point near Albermarle Road and Harrisburg Road. A letter has been
written to CMUD requesting a statement regarding -their position concerning acceptance of
the Lamplighter system as a bulk customer. No answer has been forthcoming,however it is
generally understood that CMUD does not accept bulk customers. In addition, connection
to the CMUD system would be expensive. The estimated cost for transfer facilities used in
this study to compare alternatives is based on this engineer's estimate of only those items
necessary to deliver Lamplighter East waste water to the nearest available CMUD connection
point. A connection to CMUD often becomes much more complex and expensive because
of CMUD's general policy to build only regional facilities. In this instance, that would
conceivably include a trunk sewer and significantly larger pumping station and force main
downstream from the Lamplighter Plantlocation for connection to their systern. The cost
could easily be more than double the cost used for alternative comparison. This is not to say
that the CMUD policy is unreasonable: to the contrary it is very likely reasonable for CMUD
in order to maintain their regional nature, but not necessarily the best or most. cost effective
alternative for Carolina Water Service or these particular customers. The connection fee is
an estimate. It is reasonable to expect -a capacity charge to connect to the system.
The writer prefers the current treatment plant arrangement because under loss of power
conditions, raw untreated water will not be released to the environment, but rather
displaced, treated water from the treatment facility. The current treatment facility is served
by gravity flow from the contributing area.
In contrast, a pumping station, even if served by a backup generator, has the potential to
overflow raw, untreated wastewater when subjected to a power outage. In addition, a leak
in a force main can be an insidious source of pollution.
The general area has undergone development with increasing commercial and residential
expansion. As a result, land values have escalated since construction of the present plant.
The current availability of landat an acceptable price, along with sufficient land area within
range of delivery, does not exist. The development of residential areas in the vicinity reduce
the potential for issue of a license to land apply wastewater due to public acceptance, and
the public hazard associated with irrigation with even treated waste water. This alternative
was given cursory consideration, but due to the factors presented, can not be seriously
considered. The cost, even in a cursory evaluation, became unmanageable.

Re: Request For Bulk Service. Lamplighter Village East
Dear Mr. Gullet,
As you may know, Carolina Water Service Inc. of NC owns and operates many
water and/or wastewater systems in Mecklenburg and surrounding counties.
In particular, we own a community utility system in a mobile home park called
Lamplighter Village. East located off of Parkton Road near Albemarle and
Harrisburg Roads. We currently have a permitted wastewater treatment plant
that serves Otis -community, and have requested - an. NPDES (National. Poiiution
Discharge Elimination System) permit renewal for this facility through the
Division of Water Quality in Raleigh, Part of our NPDES permit stipulates that
we must investigate alternatives to effluent discharge before permit renewal.
CMUD has sewer service in the subdivision immediately adjoining our service
area. We would like to request your Department's official position on allowing
us to buy "liulk" sanitary sewer treatment, r, if CMUD is interested in buying
the gravity collection system from us. The Lamplighter East WWTP is
operating very well and we are, and have been, in full permit compliance at
this facility. The issue of alternative discharge investigation is not one of
compliance, but one of trying to eliminate a surface discharge into a low flow
creek.
I am enclosing a tax map and site location map of our Lamplighter Village East

SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
I. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Envircrtttnental �agement
2. PEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
3 EMLC
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 Meanuernests
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
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 coliforrn 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 ©f,Sanaples
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 Meana
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).

Part II
Page 4 of 14
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably
represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act
SECTION B. GENERAL CQNDMONS
1. Puty to Comp y
The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance
constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit
terrnination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal

this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and
the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it
is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular
importance are Pages 4-5.
Pages 4-5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge(s). Your discharge(s) must not
exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your
discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the
reporting forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not
received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail
to receive the 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.
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).

Wasteload Allocation Summary
(approach taken, correspondence with region, EPA, etc.)
Facility discharges to stream with 7Q10/30Q2 = ©. Removal of discharge is recommended if a
more environmentally sound alternative is available at an economically reasonable cost. An
engineering report evaluating alternatives to discharge is due 180 days prior to permit expiration
along with the permit renewal application. As part of the report, the cost of constructing a
treatment plant at the discharge point to meet limits of 5 mg/1 BOD5, 1 mg/1 NH3-N, 6 mg/1 DO
and 17 µg/l residual chlorine should also be included if there are no feasible alternatives to a
surface discharge. Upon review of the results of the engineering report, the Division retains the
right to reopen and modify this NPDES permit to require removal of the discharge or to revise the
permit limitations within a specified time schedule. [ref. 6/23/92 memo from SWT]
Instream data show some seasonal fluctuation; there were no instances of "no flow" instream,
DO's were greater than 5 mg/1.
Compliance system data indicate no violations in the past year. Staff report indicates that the
facility is well maintained.

2. Proposed Modifications: Not applicable.
PART III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Performance Evaluation: A review of the past yea monthly self -monitoring
reports (see attached Table "A") reveals that the facility is generally in
compliance with the existing permit effluent. limitations. Although five (5)
violations were noted, three (3) of these were marginal violations. The
most recent compliance evaluation analysis (September 21, 1982) notes that
the permittee has failed to 'submit the last three monthly' self -monitoring
reports which are due. The permittee has been requested to correct this
problem.
2. 0 & M Evaluation: The facilities appear to be very well operated, and
maintained.
Recommendations and/or Special Conditions: Tt is recommended that the
NPDES Permit be renewed as requested.
It should be noted that the description of the existing treatment facilities
in the present permit is erroneous. The description of the facilities
should be corrected in the new Permit.

Mecklenburg County, NC
Dear Mr. Daniel:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC 0025259 was
issued on October 1, 1987 for the discharge of wastewater to the
surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of
this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and
the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so,
it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of
particular importance is Page M3.
Page M3 sets forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge(s). Your discharge(s) must not
exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your
discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the DMR
forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not received
these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to
receive the form, please contact this Office as quickly as
possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting
form (DEM Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form.
It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed,
otherwise the forms may be returned to you as incomplete.
Failure to properly complete the forms may also result in an.
automatic $300.00 fine.

October 9, 1987
The remaining Parts of the Permit (Parts II and III) set
forth definitions, general conditions and special conditions
applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities
and/or discharge(s). The conditions include special reporting
requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment
unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for
a certified wastewater treatment plant operator if you are
operating wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in
operation of wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type
of wastewater being treated or discharged, expansions and/or
upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or
approved by this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES
Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to
Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A
civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day per violation plus
criminal penalties may be assessed for such violations.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a
five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed.
Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than
180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration
date of your Permit. This date is set forth on Page M-1 or I-1
of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not
transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this
Permit, through cessation of the discharge, then you should
request that the Permit be rescinded.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to
advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read
the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville
if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward
to providing any assistance.

Subject: Renewal of NPDES Permit NC0025259
Lamplighter Subdivision WWTP
Mecklenburg County
Dear Permittee:
The subject permit expires on September 30, 1999. North Carolina General Stature 143.215.1(c) requires that an
application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date,
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than April 3,
1999. Failure to request renewal by April 3, 1999 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 September 30, 1999 (or if continuation of the permit is desired), the
permit must not be allowed to expire. Operation of waste treatment works or continuation of a discharge after
September 30, 1999 would violate NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000
per day,
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at the subject facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Robert
Farmer of the Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 531. You may also contact the
Mooresville Regional Office at [phone] to begin the rescission process.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items which you must
submit when applying for renewal of the subject permit.
If you have any questions, please contact me. My telephone number, fax number and e-mail address are listed below.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant, Carolina Water Service Inc. of NC, has
requested renewal of the permit which allows the discharge of
treated domestic wastewater produced from Lamplighter Village
Subdivision. An on -site inspection revealed the facility to be
well operated and maintained with no limits violations noted for
the review period from March 1991 through February 1992.
The receiving stream exhibited flow conditions (WLA done in
1987 revealed 7010 and 30Q2 of zero (0)) that should warrant the
removal or relocation of the discharge or a reduction in limits in
order to protect water quality.
