5ECI'ION A. DEFINITIONS
1. permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. ➢Elva or Pivi5ion
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health
and Natural Resources.
3.

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 Measurernent.
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.

Part II

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.
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliforrn 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 Units" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliforrn 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 Units" 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 Units" 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.
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.

Part II
Page 3 of 14
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.
7. Qther. 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 Sarpple,s
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.
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.

Partll
Page 4 of 14
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).
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,

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. Affect 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.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
There are no existing nor are there any proposed wastewater
treatment facilities at this time for the Riverwood Estates
Development. Mid South wishes to retain the Permit in case the
project developer elects to construct multi -family homes at which
time a method of treatment will be necessary. The development is
currently comprised of single family homes which utilize septic
tanks as the method of wastewater disposal. There are no plans
to construct discharging wastewater treatment facilities at this
time.
Since no wastewater treatment facilities have been
constructed and the proposed discharge will. enter a water supply,
which has considerable human bodily contact,, this Office
recommends that BPJ limitations (15-BOD , 4-NH as N) be included
in the renewed Permit. Quarterly monitoring fr N and P is also
recommended.
The outfa.11 location, as noted on the attached map, should
be extended to the point as marked.
Pending receipt and approval of a revised Waste Loac3.
Allocation, it is recommended that the Permit be renewed.

Dear Mr. Weber:.
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC 0062456 was
issued on May 19, 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. Your discharge 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.
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

Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC 0062456 was issued on
February 21, 1986 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. Your discharge 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 short-
ly. 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.
The remaining Parts of the Permit (Parts II and TII) set forth defini-
tions, 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, bypass-
es, 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

action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of
A civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day
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 transfer-
able. 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.

Dear Ms. Kerr:
On behalf of our client, Mr. Jack R. Harris, we respectfully
request determination of effluent discharge limits for a proposed
project on Lake Norman. Two copies of a USGS map showing the
location of the proposed discharge are enclosed. It is our
understanding that the current backlog of work in your division is
extensive and we can expect approximately 6-8 weeks elapsed time
before receiving the limits. We would appreciate a phone call
relaying the results of your preliminary findings as they are
available.
Very truly yours,

4, Alternative Analysis Evaluation
a. Spray Irrigation: There is limited area available in the immediate area that may be
used for spray irrigation, however, the permittee does not currently own this
property and it is unclear whether this property would be available for purchase.
b. Connect to regional sewer system: There is currently no regional sewer system
available to serve this site, however, Catawba County is considering providing
sewer service to this area either through the construction and operation of a
WWTP owned by the County or through a regional system connected to the City
of Newton's WWT facility,
c. Subsurface: The existing homes in the Riverwood development are currently
served by septic tank systems. Future residential development in this area should
be able to find suitable soils that will support the use of ground adsorption.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee, Heater 'Utilities (HU), has requested renewal of the subject permit. There
have been no WWT facilities constructed under the authority of this permit since the permit was
originally issued in 1986 nor are there any immediate plans for WWTP construction. According
to HU representative Tony Parker, HU has no immediate plans for the use of this permit,
however, HU wants to retain this permit in case future growth generates a need for sewer service
in this area.
During the past several months, officials with Catawba County have been aggressively
pursuing the possibility of acquiring an NPDES -Permit and constructing a County owned
WWTP, which would eventually serve the Riverwood area. Whether or not Catawba County
ever receives approval to construct and operate a WWTP, the County has made the commitment
to service the southeastern part of Catawba County with sewer, including the area where the
Riverwood .Development is located. If the County cannot obtain an NP.DES Permit, sewer
service will most likely be obtained from the City of Newton who has capacity and has expressed
an interest in acquiring new customers,

ge Four
should also be pointed out that efforts by the County to construct and operate their own
WW1? I`l' have generated much Decal opposition. Many letters from area residents objecting to the
possibility of the County discharging wastewater to Lake Norman have already been received by
the Division. Furthermore, yore, the discharge point for the proposed Riverwood WWTP is less than
miles south of the point of discharge proposed by the County. It is fully expected that area
residents (including the RiverKeeper) will vehemently object to the reissuance of this permit as
especially since fll? has no present nor future plans for this development. For this reason,
the staff of this Officeirscorrmiends that the subject permit not be remixed.

Dear Mr, Sledge:
This is to advise your office that the above -referenced facilities are inactive and wastewater
facilities have not been constructed. Presently we are submitting monthly DMR's for these facilities ar,
are indicating "NO FLOW" on the reports.
After speaking with Mr. Richard Bridgeman, of the Mooresville Regional Office, about this
situation, he advised that DMR submittal is not required for facilities which have not been constructed.
He also suggested that we inform your office of same, and cease mailing these reports each month.
Therefore, please remove these systems from your active file until these facilities are actually
constructed.
In regards to the information received from Mr. Bridgeman, we assume that Mid South will nct be
required to submit any additional Daily Monitoring Reports for these inactive systems until such time that
the facilities have actually been constructed, unless your office advises otherwise.
If you should have any additional questions" please do not hesitate to contact me,
Sincerely,
MID SOUTH WATER SYSTEMS, INC.
