Dear Mayor Hamrick:
Reference is made to your request for rescission of the subject NPDES Permit. Staff
of the Mooresville Regional Office have confu-med that this Discharge Permit is no longer
required. Therefore, in accordance with your request, NPDES Permit No, NC0066427 is
rescinded, effective imrnediately.
if in the future you wish to again discharge wastewater to the States surface waters,
you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES Permit. Discharging without a valid
NPDES Permit will subject the discharger to a civil penalty of up to S10,000 per day.
If it would be helpful to discuss this matter further, I would suggest that you contact
Rex Gleason, Water Quality Regional Supervisor, Mooresville Regional Office at
704/633-1699.

Dear Mayor Hamrick:
In accordance with your application for discharge permit received on April 28, 1993, we are
forwarding herewith the subject state - NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215 .1 and the Memorandum of Agreement
between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection agency dated December 6, 1983.
Because the school building's wastewater treatment system discharges to a stream with a zero
7Q10130Q2 flow, a survey of disposal options will be required. Before reopening of the school
building and subsequent use of the wastewater treatment system, the Town of Lattimore must
submit an alternatives analysis of discharge options to include hookup to sanitary sewer, spray
irrigation and subsurface disposal. Upon review of the engineering report, the Division reserves
the right to reopen and modify the NPDES permit or require removal of the discharge.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within
thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written
petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the
Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611
-7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part II, B.2. 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.

M ass Day yleasuren,ent_
a. The "`mCnt? ti average discharge"' is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled 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 °` ee} 1\ average discharge'" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar ueek (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 sums by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

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 conform 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 sarnpled andlor 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 gab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count
for fecal. conform 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 dailydai]v 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 "averaze 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 andior 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 sample's collected during that calendar day The average yearly count for
fecal conform 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 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 L
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 followinE,- distinct periods: January through
March, April through June. July through September, and October through December,

a. Flow, iNIGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly, 1t i determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded
during the calendar month,
b. An "instantaneous flow m.easurernent"° 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 floe measurement °' is a measure of discharge flow from the
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. flow
shall be monitored continually except for the i tfrequent times when there mbe no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the device.
Types of Samples
Corry .site Sample: A composite sample sha. :«t of:
(.1.) a series of grab samples collected at equal tit ,e intervals over a '4 .hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured. at the time of
individual sample collection, or.
C2 t a series of grab samples of equal volume cv.dected over a 24 hour period with the time
between samples determined a preset number of gallons passing the
point. How measurement her sample intervals shall be determined by
order and totalizer, an present gallon interval between sample

In accordance with (1 ) above, the time interval A°een influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval>_tween 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 (') hours nor the number of samples less
than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of
the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric
mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual
values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean. values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).

Wasteload Allocation Summary
(approach taken, correspondence with region, EPA, etc.)
School easily meets existing limits. The chlorine levels are too high.
Allowable chlorine for the stream is 17 ug/i. -Instream datalK.Discharge
is to zero flow stream. Recommend removal. Facility must submit an
engineering report within 12 months evaluating alternatives to discharge.
If there are no feasible alternatives, the limits will change after 3 years
to 5&1 (10&1.8) for B0D5 & NH3-N for summer (winter). Instream monitoring
requirement may be removed when the facility agrees, in writing, to a
schedule for removal.
