Dear JOHN HEMMINGS:
Reference is made to your request for rescission of the subject NPDES Permit. Staff
of the Mooresville Regional Office have confirmed that this Permit is no longer required,
Therefore, in accordance with your request, NPDES Permit No. NC0076163 is
rescinded, effective immediately.
If in the future you wish to again discharge wastewater to the State's surface waters,
you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES Permit. Operating a facility without a
valid NPDES Permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $10,000
per day.
If it would be helpful to discuss this matter further, I would suggest that you contact
the Water Quality staff, Mooresville Regional Office at [phone].
Sincerely,
961,

Dear Mr. Hemmings:
In accordance with the application for a discharge permit received on. May 11. 1995, the Division is forwarding
herewith the subject NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirement's of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1. and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983.
In a letter faxed by Joe Hudson dated December 12, 1995, it was requested that instrea.m monitoring be
reduced to monthly in this permit. After staff review of the dissolved oxygen information collected and reported
within the past 12 - 24 months, it was noted that. much of the data appear to be suspect based on the lack of
variability in reported dissolved oxygen levels throughout the year. This issue has been discussed with Mr.
Hudson, who indicated that the plant operator has begun using a different dissolved oxygen meter which should
resolve this issue. However, until the data collected and reported are correct and verified, the monitoring
frequencies will remain the same in this final permit as they were contained in the draft permit
A second issue which the Division would like addressed within 90 days of receipt of this letter is the projected
connection of this facility to the City of Conover wastewater treatment plant. If connection of Rock Barn
Properties, Inc.'s wastewater treatment facility is impending and there is a firm commitment from your company to
connect to this puhlically-owned treatment plant, then instream monitoring frequencies may be relaxed, (Again, a
set of data which is accurate of actual. instream conditions should be established first.)
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of
this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150E of the North
Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447,
Raleigh, North Carolina 2761 1.-7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please take note that this permit is not transferable. Part II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be followed in
case of change in ownership or control of this discharge, This permit does not affect the legal requirements to
obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Environmental Management or permits required by
the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management. Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit
that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Mr, Mack Wiggins at telephone number
(91.9) 7 33-5083, extension 542.

Mass/Day 1easurementa
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 r.amber of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
year, It is, therefore, ar. 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 limitacn is defined as "Annual Average" in Part 1 of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
b, CQno Mean _rer rent
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 feel coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits'" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
"Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration,"" other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable arnount
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.
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 I1
Page 3 of 14
7. Dther.Measu.ementa
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 sarttpiing,
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,
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 sarnples 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 sarnples 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 analog 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
Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its reespective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
10. Calendar Pay
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,
. Hazardous Substance
A har,ardous 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.
