Subject: Rescission of NPDES Permit NCOti26549
Claremont South WWTP
Catawba County
Dear Ms. Bumgarner:
Division staff has confirmed that the subject permit is no longer required. Therefore, in
accordance with your request, NPDES Permit NC0026549 is rescinded, effective immediately.
If in the future your company wishes to discharge wastewater to the State's surface waters, you
must first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit. Discharge of wastewater without a valid
NPDES permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Charles Weaver of my staff at the telephone
number or address listed below.

SUBJECT Renewal Application Requirements for Permit NCO
South W\XTTP
Dear Permittee:
49
Your NPDES permit for a municipalll owned/operated \VWTP expires on July 31, 2005. This advance notice is
being sent to explain the new requirements for your permit renewal application.
You are receiving this advance notice because your facility has a permitted flow at or above 1 MGD, or your
WWTP has a pretreatment program. If either of these criteria no longer apply to your facility, contact the NPDES
Unit before submitting a renewal application.
Federal (40 CFR 122) and state (15A NC.AC 2H.0"105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications be £pled
at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. Your renewal application is due to the Division no later
than February 1, 2005, Failure to -apply for renewal by the appropriate deadline may result in a civil penalty
assessment or other enforcement activity at the discretion of the Director.
The U.S. EPA revised and expanded the application requirements for municipal permits, effective August 1, 2001,
EPA forms 1 and 2A are attached to this Notice, and must be used for your permit renewal application. The new
application requirements mandate additional effluent testing:
1. Conduct three Priority Pollutant .Analyses (PPAs) and submit results with your renewal application.
Collect samples for the PPAs in conjunction with sampling for your current quarterly toxicity test. The
new PPA requirements differ from previous versions. Each PPA must include:.
• Analyses for all total recoverable metals listed in Part D of form 2A, This includes metals that are
not normally monitored through your NPDES permit.
Analyses for total phenolic compounds and hardness.
Analyses for all of the volatile organic compounds listed in Part D.
• Analyses for all of the acid -extractable compounds listed in Part D.
• Analyses for all base -neutral compounds listed in Part D.
2. Conduct four toxicity tests for an organism other than Ceriodaphnta and submit results with your renewal
application. The tests should be conducted quarterly, with samples collected on the same day as your
current toxicity test. Call the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at [phone] for guidance in conducting the
additional tests.
These additional analyses must accompany .your per n-tit renewal application, or any request for a major permit
modification. The Division cannot draft your permit without the additional data, Any data submitted cannot be
over 4 '/2 years old, and must account for seasonal variation (samples cannot be collected during the same season
each year if collected over multiple years)

Dear Mr. McGinnis:
According to your renewal request, received January 4, 2000, the Division of Water Quality
(the Division) has reviewed your NPDES Permit and hereby transmits this draft for your review
and comment. This draft contains the following changes:
In keeping with revised policies, the permittee is no longer required to collect receiving -
stream samples for "Conductivity" or "Fecal Coliform."
Discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) for the subject site have consistently reported "No
flow" since prior to 1995. Therefore, the Division has made no other changes to this permit
except to up -date, reformat, and resort the table under Effluent Limitations and Monitoring
Requirements by "Sample Location" to facilitate operator use.
The Division acknowledges that all discharge is currently diverted to Claremont's McLin
Creek WWTP. Anticipating that discharge from the subject site may continue in the future, and
that stream conditions and flow requirements could change, the Division reserves the right to
revisit monitoring data and revise Effluent Limits and Monitoring Requirements for this facility.
Concurrent with this notification, the Division will solicit public comment on this permit
draft by publishing a notice in the newspapers having general circulation in the Catawba County
area, per USEPA requirements. Please provide any comments regarding this draft to DENR /
DWQ NPDES Unit no later than January 8, 2001.

SUPPLEMENT OT EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 61%.
The permit holder shall perform at a rninimum,quarterty monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina
Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase 11
Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed
during the months ofJanuary, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES
permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure, performed as the first test of any single quarter, results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit,
then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months, as described in "North
Carolina Phase 11 Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a
detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure
regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring
Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B
for the Chronic Value, Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Water Quality
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after
the end of the reporting period for which the report is made,
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste
stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in wbieh toxicity \monitoring is required, the
permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test formindicating the facility name,
permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with die notation, of "No Flow" in the comment area of the
form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required
during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring -requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to
include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival,
minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate'environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require
immediate follow-up testing to be completed nO`later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Claremont. South WWTP
Catawba County, NC
Dear Mr. McGinnis:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0026549 was issued on February 9, 2001.
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 are Pages 4 and 5.
Pages 4 and 5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your
discharge. Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
""tonitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types and sampling
luLaiions. Upon commencement of your discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on reporting forms furnished or approved by this
Agency, If you have not received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive
the forms, 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, and the original and one copy be submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee may be required
for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our Raleigh Office. I.t is imperative
that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent enforcement action or possible revocation of
your permit.
The remaining parts of the Permit 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 Perrnittee
to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes, A civil
penalty of up to $25,000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties) may be assessed for such violations,
If you find at any time that you are unable to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit, you
should contact this Office immediately. A Special Order by Consent (SOC) may be necessary while
pursuing action to obtain compliance.
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 1 of the Permit, Also note that NPDES Permits are not automatically transferable. If you, as
the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that the Division of Water Quality
rescind the Permit or request that DWQ reissue the Permit to another party, if necessary.
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.

Subject: FINAL NPDES Permit No, NC0026549
Claremont South WWTP
South Oxford Street
Catawba County
Dear Mr, McGinnis:
According to your renewal request, received January 4, 2000, the Division of Water Quaiity
(the Division) hereby transmits your final NPDES Permit.
The Division acknowledges that all wastewater influent to this facility is currently diverted to
Claremont'sMcLin Creek WWTP. Anticipating that discharge from the subject site may continue
in the future, and that stream and flow conditions may change, the Division reserves the right to
revisit monitoring and discharge data and revise the Effluent 'Limits and Monitoring Requirements
for this facility,
The permittee shall notify the Division 30 days prior to continuing discharge. It is the
Division's mandate to eliminate discharge where possible. Be advised that the Division may not
recommend future renewal, and that it is likely that future discharge conditions will be more
stringent. The Division of Water Quality strongly recommends that Claremont make plans to
reduce infiltration, consolidate treatment plants, and reduce flow by evaluating discharge
alternatives, rather than simply activating the Claremont South WWTP.
This final permit contains only one change from the previous permit. The permlttee is no
longer required to collect receiving -stream samples for Fecal Coliform.
Discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) for the. subject site have consistently reported "No
flow" since prior to 1995. Therefore, the Division has made no other changes to this permit except.
to up -date, reformat, and resort the table under Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements
by "Sample Location" to facilitate operator use.

5. Mass /Day 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 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.
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.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
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 coliforrn bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This
Iimitation 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
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 Limits" n
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 an
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic rnean 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 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.
g•
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 following distinct periods:: January through March,
April through June, July through September, and October through December.

7. Other 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 timetirne 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.
. Types of Samples
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. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Caiculation of Means
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).
c. 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.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section
311 of the Clean Water Act.

Dear Mr. McGinnis:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0026549 was
issued on May 15, 1995 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 are Pages 4-5.
Pages 4-5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge(s). Your discharge(s) 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
reporting 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 forms, 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, and the
original and one copy be submitted as required.
The remaining Parts of the Permit 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 violation (and/or criminal penalties)
may be assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that
you are unable to co ply with the terms and conditions of the
Permit, you should contact this Office immediately. A Consent
Order may be necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance.
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 1 of the Permit. Also
note that NPDES Permits are not transferable. If you, as the
Permittee, cease to need this Permit, 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.

SECTION A, DEFINITION
1. Permit is rig Aut_ ority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM Dr Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
3.ELLC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
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.
Mass/Day 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 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 ail daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday v 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 sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part! of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
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 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 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 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 sarnple 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 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.
g.
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 following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.

Part II
Page 3 of 14
7. e 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.
hypes of Samples
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. 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).

Part II
Page 4 of 14
c. 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.
1 . hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act,
12. TQXic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)0) of the Clean Water Act.
SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITTONS
1.
The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance
constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit

Wasteload Allocation Summary
(approach taken, correspondence with region, EPA, etc.)
This facility was removed from service July 11, 1994, and all flow was diverted to the McLin
Creek Plant [NC0081370]. The town has requested a Permit for possible future discharge or
for need during this Permit cycle. Due to this request, some changes have been recommended
for this Permit Renewal.
The addition of an ammonia Limit is recommended since discharges during this Permit period
may be sporadic and toxicity due to ammonia may not be disclosed by a quarterly toxicity test.

Facility Name Claremont - South Waste Water Treatment Plant Permit # NC0026549 - 001
CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/TAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality is 61 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit
holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit
condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit during
the months of Jan., Apr., Jul., and Oct. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at
the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code
TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine
of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of
the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division
of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-
opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require
immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will
constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

South WWTP
Catawba County
Dear Mr. McGinnis:
The pretreatment rules in 15A NCAC 2H .0900 have been revised effective November 1, 1994.
The revised rules created "Modified" pretreatment programs for some smaller municipalities,
including the City of Claremont. Therefore, your pretreatment requirements have changed and
your NPDES permit is hereby modified to reflect these changes. Please insert the enclosed Part
III.A-B into the appropriate place in your current NPDES permit and disregard the old
Part III.A-B. Please note that any original Part III conditions after Part III.B are still in effect and
must remain in the permit.
The main change for "Modified" pretreatment programs is found in Part III.B.10. Instead of
submitting a Semi -Annual Report (SAR) to the Division, the City of Claremont shall attend
periodic meetings with the Division to discuss enforcement of pretreatment requirements and
other pretreatment issues. You are reminded that you must still judge compliance for each
industrial user for each six-month period (January 1-June 30 and July 1-December 31), and take
appropriate enforcement action.
The Pretreatment Group staff will hold a series of meetings to discuss the requirements for
"Modified" pretreatment programs in detail. Dates and locations will be published in the
January 1995 Pretreatment newsletter..
This permit modification 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.
If any part of this permit modification is 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 trust 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 27611-7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision
shall be final and binding.

Other Measurements
n. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24, hours
average flow, averaged. monthly, It is determined as the arithmetic mein
of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month,
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow token at the time
of sampl ing, when both the sample and flow wilt be representative of the
total discharge.
a. Compocite Sample: These samples. consist. of grab samples collected at
equnl intervals and combined proportional to flow, n 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. Theintervals between influent grab
simples shall be nogreater 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 betweengrab samples shall be no greater in number of

t. Chronic Toxicity Testing Requirement:
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity
tests, using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina
Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 61% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure
document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to
establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty
days from issuance of this permit during the months of January, April, July, and October.
Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent
discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the
Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using
the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the
following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical
measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response
data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if
chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing,
this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may he reopened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits_

Chronic Bioassay Proo,,-,-dure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 61% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure
document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to
establish compliance with the permit condition, The first test will be performed after thirty
days from issuance of this permit during the months of January, April, July, and October.
Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent
discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the
Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using

Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical
measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response
data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if
chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing,
this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be reopened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum

control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shalt constitute an invalid
test and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event), Failure
to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

right at the end of the pavement and then to the left at the end of the road.
The Bearing and Distance to the Point of Effluent Discharge is: Approximately
100 feet south of the treatment plant at Longitude 81 09'20" and latitude 35
41'50",
7. Size: Approximately one acre
3. Topography: Rolling 3-10 percent, sloping to the east.
9. Location of Nearest Dwelling: No dwellings within 1000 feet.

PART II - DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING TREATMENT WORKS
The existing wastewater treatment facility is a 0.050 MGO extended aeration type
consisting of a comminutor with a bar screen bypass, an aeration basin with a
mechanical aerator, final clarification with sludge return facilities, an aerated
sludge holding tank, a flow meter, and sludge drying beds.
Chlorination facilities are not included at the plant; however, plans and spec-
ifications have been submitted to the State for approval to construct chlorination
°facilities at Claremont's South plant.
Records show that past investigations and inspections have indicated poor operation
and maintenance at Claremont's South Wastewater Treatment Plant. However, due to
the hiring of some new personnel by the town, it appeared on the day of this inv-
estigation that the procedures at the plant had improved.

1. Effluent limitations from this discharger are listed in Part I of this pern',..
It is apparent that other pollutants attributable to inputs from major
contributing industries, using the municipal system. may also be present in the
permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information becomes
available to establish limitations or such 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.
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.
L. 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 tocausea loss of
treatment efficiency.
e. Heat in amounts which. will inhibit biological activity inthe treatment
works resulting in interference but in no case heat insuch quaBtitieso
that the temperature at the treatment works influent exceeds 40 r(104 F)
unless the works are designed to accomodate such heat. (After August 25, 1981)
3. With. regard to the effluent requirements listed in Part 1 of this permit,
It may be necessary for the permittee tosupplement 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

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 int*o-
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.
a. Section IV, Standard Form A shall be completed and submitted for
each major contributing industry,
b. Information on the municipal facility as a whole is to be reported
on the monthly Monitoring Report Form (DEM - No. MR 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and

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 (OEM 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 pre-treatment requirements
(as provided for. in 40 CFR, Part 4oe), 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,

Schedule of Compliance
Permit No. MC0032671
Permit No. MCO032662
December 29, 1978
This letter is in accordance with the requirement of each permit listed above to
report progress of activities listed in the schedule of compliance within fourteen
calendar days of the specified date.
Contrary to my schedule of compliance reporting letter of April 4, 1979 which
anticipated no further problems, major problems with this project have been en-
countered and construction has not begun. The project was bid and the resulting
bids resulted in a cost overrun of $$348,000. The request for increase was approved
by the Environmental Management Commission on September 13, 1979, however this re-
quest was subsequently denied by E.P.A.
After several negotiating sessions it has been decided to redesign the plants in
an attempt to achieve a more manageable cost. This redesign is near completion and
should be submitted for State review this month with a bid target date of around
March 15, 1980. A revised schedule of compliance should be approximately as follows:
a.
b.
c.
d.
Begin construction of proposed facilities on or before May 31, 1980.
Submit a progress report on or before October 31, 1980.
Complete construction on or before December 31, 1980.
Obtain operational level on or before January 31, 1981.
Additionally it should be noted that specific conditions of our permits will need
amendment since per earlier correspondence, the discharge point of permit number
NC0032662 will be craved in the revised plans. This amendment request will be sub-
mitted upon request by the permits and engineering section in Raleigh per earlier
meetings.
Hopefully we can begin construction as soon as possible. If you have further
questions please contact me at [phone].
