This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against the subject facility in the amount of
$250.00.
This assessment is based upon the fact that a request for renewal of the subject permit was not
received by the Division of Environmental Management at least 180 days prior to the expiration date
contained in the permit. The renewal request requirement is contained in your permit and/or North.
Carolina General Statute (N.C.G.S.) 143-215.1(c).
Based upon the above fact, I conclude as a matter of law that the subject facility violated or failed
to act in accordance with the requirements of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1. A civil penalty of not more than
$10,000.00 per day, in accordance with N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(a), may be assessed against a person
who fails to comply with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit required by N.C.G.S. 143-
215.1.
Based upon the above facts and conclusions of law, I hereby assess the subject facility a civil
penalty in the amount of $250.00 for violation of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1(c), pursuant to delegation
provided for by N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(h). Any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new

Wasteload Allocation Summary
- Facility is located downstream of the Mooresville WWTP near the DO sag predicted in the Rocky River report. This
section of the river is currently overallocated, use support is threatened and the biological ratting is fair. The report
recommended that new facilities be permitted only if other alternatives are not feasible. These discharges should be
required to use the best available technology (advanced tertiary limits). A report of alternatives has been requested
from the permittee. It is recommended that the permit be denied unless the permittee can show there is no other
feasible alternative. �;s ttt//`/t tt Considers flew 1,ft1"2trt %u+b bcc..t rco ,r ro/:cam

requests:- None at this time.
3. Important SOC/JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: N/A
4, Alternative Analysis Evaluation
a. Spray Irrigation: There does not appear to be
sufficient area available for construction of a
irrigation WWT system (see Part IV).
b. Connect to regional sewer system.: At the present time
this area is not served by a municipal sewer system nor
is any proposed in the near future.
c. Subsurface: information contained in our files
indicated that no soils evaluation has been perforrned
to evaluate subsurface disposal options. Such a
determination is necessary to ascertain whether
subsurface disposal is a feasible option. With the
Rocky River (and it's tributaries) receiving
considerable point source dischargers, removal of
existing and potential point sources should be of
primary concern. Although the developer is striving to
maximize the development potential of the site, a
reduction in lots (100 are proposed on 75 acres) may
allow for the use of some type of subsurface disposal
system. For this reason., it is recommended that an EEA
be performed and reviewed prior to the reissuance of
this Permit.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMNENIDATIONS
The permittee has requested renewal of the subject Permit.
Based. on a review of the file, there has been a limited
evaluation conducted of nondischarge alternatives at this
location. Although the permittee wishes to maximize the. size of
the development, a reduction in lot size, may allow the use of
subsurface disposal systems in lieu of a point source discharge.
The proposed discharge point is near the predicted D.O. sag point
for the Town. of Mooresville, which limits assimilative capacity
at 7Q10 conditions. For this reason, reissuance of the. Permit is
not recommended until a thorough EEA has been performed and a
decision made as to whether a discharge Permit is the most
environmentally sound wastewater disposal option for this
development.

Engineering Proposal
River Heights Subdivision
at the
Intersection of East Rocky River Road and Shearer Road.
Near Davidson, North Carolina
June 16, 1988
This project consists of approximately 100, single family lots
generating approximately 48,000 gallons per day (average flow). This
is calculated based on 100 lots at 4 bedrooms per lot at 120 gallons
per day per bedroom.
The gross developeable acreage of the project is approximately 75
acres and is considered of insufficient size for a septic tank system
and drain field. Also, a septic tank system and drain field system
for this project is undesirable due to potential failure of the drain
field over the life of the project.
Spray irrigation is not considered viable due to the cost of the
land necessary for the application field.
A river with a high amount of flow passes through this property,
Rocky River. It does not have a high stream classification and
therefore could potentially be a receiving stream for treated
wastewater from a wastewater treatment plant.
It is anticipated that effluent limits for a wastewater
treatment plant potentially discharging into. Rocky River at this
location would not be unusually stringent and, therefore, the cost for
mechanical treatment utilizing a package treatment plant. could
potentially be within the budgeted costs for development.
The proposed treatment facility would be designed to meet the
applied designated limitations imposed by the State of North Carolina.
Options considered for a mechanical/biological treatment system
would include contact stabilization and extended aeration.
The location of this site is per attached copy of the Cornelius
USGS quadilateral map with the proposed discharge point being
designated in red with approximated longitude and latitude shown.

Mass/Day Measurements
a The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total crass 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 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 "Daily Average" or "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 samples 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 sample 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

6 Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal 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/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" or
"Daily 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. It is identified as "Daily Maximum"
under "Other Limits" in Part 1 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 1 of the
permit.

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.
8. Tykes of Samples
Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples 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 between influent grab
samples shall be 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, inwhich
case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, 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.
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.
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).
Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the surmaatir n of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the
respective flows.

Part II
Page 14 of 14
10. Calendar ➢ay
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.
Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of
the Clean Water Act.

FROM: Ruth Clark RC
SUBJECT: Permit limits for River Heights Subdivision
NC0074501
Mecklenburg County
Secondary limits were recently recommended for the proposed
River Heights Subdivision. Subsequently, a Level C model has been.
calibrated to examine the existing impact from the Mooresville
WWTP (located 3.8 miles upstream) and to determine an appropriate
wastelead allocation for their proposed expansion. The two facil-
ities are expected to interact, and River Heights is located near
the predicted dissolved oxygen sag point for Mooresville. The new
model indicates that water quality problems will exist instream at
the assigned limits during low flow conditions. Therefore, the
recommended permit limits for River Heights are being changed to
the following:
Summer Winter
B0D5 (mg/1) 7 14
N-H5-N (mg/1) 2 4
DO (mg/1) 6 6
Limits reflecting advanced treatment will be recommended for any
future facility in this receiving water, and a letter is being.
sent to Mooresville stating that their limits will he changed to
those above when they apply for a permit modification for their
treatment plant expansion.
Please contact Trevor Clements or myself if you need further
clarification. in this matter.

permittee shall also furnish to the Permit Issuing Authority upon request,
copies of records required to be kept by this permit.
SECTION B. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROL
1. P e Qperation and Maintenance
The permittee shall at all times maintain in good working order and operate
as efficiently as possible all treatment or control facilities or systems
installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the terms
and conditions of this permit.
2. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it
would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in
order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit.
3. Bypassing
Any diversion from or bypass of facilities is prohibited, except (i) where
unavoidable to prevent loss of life or severe property damage, or (ii)
where excessive storm drainage or runoff would damage any facilities
necessary for compliance with the effluent limitations and prohibitions of this
permit. Ali permittees who have such sewer bypasses or overflows of this
discharge shall submit, not later than six months from the date of issuance
of this permit, detailed data or engineering estimates which identify:

bypass of facilities.
4. Upsets
"Upset" means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and
temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations
because of 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. An upset
constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance
with such technology based permit limitation if the requirements of 40 CFR S
122,41(n)(3) are met.
Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of
treatment or control of wastewaters shall be disposed of in accordance with
NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such
materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United
States.
6. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required
by DEM Regulation, Title 15, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H,
.0124 Reliability, to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated
wastes during electrical power failures either by means of alternate power
sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent.
SECTION C. MONITORING AND RECORDS
1. Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be
characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples
collected at a frequency less than daily shall be taken on a day and time that
is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period which the sample
represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in
this permit end, unless otherwise specified , before the effluent joins or is
diluted by any other wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points
shall not be changed without notification to and the approval of the Permit
Issuing Authority.

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as
amended, 33 USG 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurmnts
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 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 "Daily Average" or "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 samples 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 1 of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of ail
daily discharges sample 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 12 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
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/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" or
"Daily 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. 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 arithmeticmean (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 1 of the
permit.

Part II
Page 13 of 14
7. Other Measurernents
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.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples 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 between influent grab
samples shall be 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 samples shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, 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.
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.
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).
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.

Part II

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 _6
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. ToxicPollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a (1 of
the Clean Water Act.
