. Definitions
a. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected in a one
-
month period. The monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -month period.
b. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during a
one -week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria
is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -week period.
c. Flow, M3/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the
24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the
arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar
month.
d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the
summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual
values.
M 5

Part I
Permit No. NC
e. 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 equiva-
lent 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).
f. Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following:
(1) Not less than four influent or effluent portions collected
at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and composited
in proportion to flow.
Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions
collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional
to the flow.
g.
An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over
a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow.
Grab Sample: A "grab sample" is a single influent or effluent
portion which is not a composite sample. The samples) shall be
collected at the period(s) most representative of the total discharge.

In order to receive authorization to discharge beyond the expiration
date, the permittee shall submit such information, forms, and fees as
are required by the agency authorized to issue permits no later than
180 days prior to the expiration date. Any discharge without a permi
after the expiration will subject the permittee to enforcement proce-
dures as provided in N. C. G. S. 143-215.6, and 33 USC 1251 et seq.
Industrial Pretreatment Standards
Permittee shall require any industrial dischargers into the permitted
system to meet Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFP, Part403 )
promulgated in response to Section 307(b) of the Act. The permittee
shall provide semi-annual reports to the permitting agency regarding the

buting industry and the results achieved therefrom. Other information
may be needed regarding new industrial discharges and this will be
requested from the permittee after the permitting agency has received
notice of the new industrial discharge.
A major contributing industry is one that: (1) has a. flow of 50,000
gallons or more per average work day; (b) has a flow greater than five
percent of the flow carried by the municipal system receiving the waste;
(c) has in its waste a toxic pollutant in toxic amounts as defined in
standards issued under Section 307(a) of the Act; (d) has significant
impact either singly or in combination with other contributing industries,

PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS
A. Requirements for Effluent Li Ita ions on Pollutants Attributable to
Industrial Users
1. Effluent limitations from this discharger are listed in Part 1 of this permit.
It is apparent that other pollutants attributable to inputs from major
contributing. industries using the municipalsystem may also be present in the
permitteets discharge. At such time as sufficient information becomes
available to establish limitations forsuch pollutants, this permit may be
revised to specify effluent limitations for any or all of such other pollutants
in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality standards.
2. Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction of the following
wastes into the waste treatment system:
a. Wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works.
b. Wastes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment works.
c. Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to the
flow in sewers or interference with the proper operation of the treatment
works.
d. Wastewaters at a flow rate and/or pollutant discharge rate which is
excessive over relatively short time periods so as to cause a loss of
treatment efficiency.
e. Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the treatment
works resulting in interference but in no case heat in such quantities
that the temperature at the. treatment works influent exceeds 40 C (104o F)
unless the works are designed to accomodate such. heat. (After August 25, 1981)
3.
With regard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit,
it may be necessary for the permittee to supplement the requirements of the
Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 403) to ensure compliance by
the permittee with all applicable effluent limitations. Such actions by
the permittee may be necessary regarding some or all of the major contri-
buting:. industries discharging to the municipal system
The permittee shall require each major contributing industry subject to
pre-treatment standards, or any other applicable requirements promulgated
pursuant to Section 307 of the Act to submit to the permittee periodic
notice (at intervals not to exceed 9 months) regarding specific actions taken
to achieve full compliance with. the requirements of Section 307. Starting
on the permittee shall submit semi-annually to the permit
issuing authority a report summarizing: the progress of all known major
contributing industries subject to the requirements of Section 307 towards
full compliance with such requirements. Such report shall include at
least the following information:
M 13

PAR -FT
Page of
Permit No. NC
A narrative summary of actions taken by the permittee to ensure
that all major contributing industries co,ply with the requirements
of Section 307.
b. The number of major contributing industries using the treatment
woris, divided into SIC group categories.
c. The number of major contributing industries in full compliance
with the requirements of Section 307, or not subject to these
requirements (e.g., discharge.only compatible pollutants).
d. A list identifying by name those major contributing industries
presently in violation of the requirements of Section 307.
4. Immediately upon issuance of this permit, the permittee shall establish
and implement a procedure to obtain from all major contributing indus-
tries specific information on the quality and quantity of effluents intro-
duced by such industrial users. The following information shall be
reported to the permitting agency on a quarterly basis beginning
; quarterly reports reflecting no change from the previous quarter
may simply relate this fact, without submitting repetitive data..
Section IV, Standard Form A shall be completed and submitted for
each major contributing industry.
Information on the municipal facility as a whole is to be reported
on the monthly Monitoring Report Form (DEM - No. lR 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and
1.3).
Once the specific nature of industrial contributions has been identified,
data collection and reporting requirements may be levied for other
parameters in addition to those included on Form DEM No. 1.0, 1.1,
1.2, and 1.3).
Based on the information regarding industrial inputs reported by the
permittee pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the permittee will be
notified by the permitting authority of the availability of industrial
effluent guidelines on which to calculate allowable inputs of incompatible
pollutants based on BPT for each industry group. Copies of guidelines
will be provided as appropriate. Not later than 120 days following
receipt of this information, the permittee shall submit to the permitting
authority calculations reflecting allowable inputs from each major con-
tributing industry. The permittee shall also require all such major
contributing industries to implement necessary pretreatment requirements
(as provided for in 40 C,FR, Part 4o..), providing the permitting authority
with notifications of specific actions taken in this regard. At that time,
the permit may be amended to reflect the municipal facility's effluent
requirements for incompatible pollutants.
