Certificate of Coverage NCG500199
General Permit NCG500000
Formerly NPDES Permit NC0041009
Gaston County
The Division of Environmental Management has recently evaluated all existing individual permits for potential
coverage under general permits currently issued by the Division. 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0127 allows the Division to
evaluate groups of permits having similar discharge activities for coverage under general permits and issue
coverage where the Division finds control of the discharges more appropriate in this manner. The Division has
determined that the subject discharge qualifies for such coverage. Therefore, the Division is hereby issuing the
subject Certificate of Coverage under the state-NPDES general permit no. NCG500000 which shall void NPDES
Permit NC0041009. This Certificate of Coverage is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina and the
US Environmental Protection Agency Memorandum of Agreement dated December 6, 1983 and as subsequently
amended.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this general permit are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to submit an individual permit application, associated processing fee and letter requesting
coverage under an individual permit. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please
take notice this Certificate of Coverage is not transferable. Part II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be followed
in case of change of ownership or control of this discharge.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the
Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this Division, such as the
construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities. Construction of any
wastewater treatment facilities will require issuance of an Authorization to Construct from this Division.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Certificate of Coverage and respective general permit may
subject the Perrnittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in accordance with
North Carolina General Statute 143-2.156A to 143-215.6C. Please note that the general permit does require
monitoring in accordance with federal law. The monitoring data is not required to be submitted to the Division
unless specifically requested, however, the permittee is required to maintain all records for a period of at least
three (3) years.

responsible for the reissuance of the general permit and at such time, you will be notified of the procedures to
follow to continue coverage under the reissued permit. Unless you fail to follow the procedures for continued
coverage, you will continue to be permitted to discharge in accordance with the attached general permit.
The issuance of this Certificate of Coverage does not preclude the Fennittee from complying with any and all
statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be required by the Division of Environmental Management
or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management<Act or any Federal or

S. Naas/Dv Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge.: is defined as'the total mass of all
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples and/or measured (iring snob 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 sun by
the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is
identified as, "Daily Average" or "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit.
h. 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 samples and/or measured
during such week, it is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by
adding the weighAs of pollutantsfound each day of the week and then
dividing this SUM by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is identified ns "Weel,ly Ave.7-ag" in raiA, of the permit,
c. The "maximum daily dischmige" is the, total mass (weight) of a
pollutant, discharged during a colendat 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 annualdischarge" is defined as the total mass of all
daily discharges sample and/or measured during the calendar year on
which dailydischarges 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 foluid 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. 1 of the permit.

ncentration. Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration"' other than l coliform
bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges
samples and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided. by the number of daily discharges sampled
and, measured during sue:h munch (arithmetic mean of the r1271ly
concentration values). The daily concentration. valrr {.s equal to the
concentrat:i.on 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 Overage monthly count for feral_ coliform
bacterfa is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation i.s identified ras "Monthly Average" or
"Daily Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b The ""ray ter,age weekly concentration," other tlrarr fcr fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily diva l}urges sampled and/or

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 a°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.
Types
9 a1
Composite Sample: Thee samples consist of grab sample; collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken. at varying time
intervals. If a. composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals hetwes:n influent grab
samples. shall he no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time
of the wastewater in the facility- is greater than 24 hours, in which
case, the interval between grab sample shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, er, in
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be. greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samples less than. four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a
period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab. sample can be taken
manually,
Arithmetic
of the lead
aaa
The arithmetic mean of any set of values i
values divided by the number of individual
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
saadi.vidunl. values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the anti.log 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 he one (1).
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
