Recommendation for Enforcement
Town of Troutman WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NC0026832
Iredell County
Dear Mr, Barghothi:
This letter is to notify you that this Office is considering sending a recommendation for
enforcement action to the Director of the Division o Water Quality. The recommendation
concerns the violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(06) and the subject NPDES
Permit, specifically, for violations of Permit effluent limitations for Biochemical Oxygen
Demand, Ammonia Nitrogen, Total Suspended Residue, Fecal Coliform, and Oil & Grease for
Outfall 001 during March 2001. There was also a failure to conduct the required effluent
monitoring for Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Ammonia Nitrogen, Total Suspended Residue,
Fecal Coliform, and Oil & Grease during the weeks ending March 2, March 9, and March 15,
and a failure to conduct influent monitoring for Biochemical Oxygen Demand and Total
Suspended Residue during the same weeks.
We are aware that the Town ceased discharge by connecting to the City of Statesville's
wastewater collection system, effective March 23, 2001, however, there was a continued
expectation of compliance with the terms and conditions of the NPDES Permit until the
connection. The reported data for samples collected on March 20 suggests that operation and
maintenance of the wastewater treatment system ceased prior to March 23.

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 5 and 6
Pages 5 and 6 set fort!i the effluent limitations and monitoring requirernents 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 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

Division staff have reviewed and approved vour application for an NPDES discharge permit.
Accordingly, the Division is forwarding the subject NPDES 'permit. This permit is issued
pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental 'Protection
Agcncv dated .May 9. 1994 (or as subseqz.len fly amended).
The following items from the DRAFT permit have been retained in this FINAL permit:
The Division understands that the toWT1 plans to complete closure of the Troutman WWTP
and connect to the Statesville WWTP by end of 2000. Consequently, this FINAL permit
includes a permit expiration date of December 31. 2001, which provides an additional year
in case construction activities are delayed. However, -please be aware that if connection is
not completed Nevithin this period zind. the WWII needs to request. another permit renewal. the
Division will likely incorporate more stringent effluent limits. This is based on the fact that
in 1999 the Troutman WWII) reported mixed results for th.cir toxicity testing, as well as
ins,tream data for dissolved oxygen showing concentrations below the state water quality
standard of 5 mg/I several times during Stunmer 1.999 at the station below the discharge
point. Consequently, the Division strongly recommends that the current schedule for
connection to Statesville be maintained. Following connection, the town will need to
request the current NPDES permit, be rescinded, so that. annual fees and compliance
tracking activities are halted.
• The instream monitoring requirement for fecal coliform and conductivity has been deleted,
based on the updated NPDES Instream Monitoring Policy for dischargers of 100% domestic
wastewater.
• The chronic toxicity testing language has been updated to reflect the current requirenieiits
for multiple concentration testing following a toxicity test failure.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
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 must be in the form of a written
petition, conforming to Chapter 1 50B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed. with the
office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-
6714. Unless such a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding.

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 1 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 l 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 sure by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part 1 of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
Concentration Me
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 conform 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 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 1 of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliforrn 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 foliowing 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 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. Type 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 ot 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. Calculatio 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
Page 4 of 14
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.
12. 'Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.
SE B. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. Duty to Comply
The perrnittee 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
termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application.
a. The perrnittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under section
307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants and with standards for sewage sludge use or
disposal established under section 405(d) of the Clean Water Act within the time provided in
the regulations that establish these standards or prohibitions or standards for sewage sludge
use or disposal, even if the permit has not yet been modified to incorporate the requirement.
b, The Clean Water Act provides that any person who violates a permit condition is subject to a
civil penalty not to exceed $25,000 per day for each violation. Any person who negligently

It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary
to haft or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this
permit.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating
mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the
treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent
loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in
production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The perrnittee may allow arty bypass to occur which -does not cause effluent limitations to be
exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These
bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall
submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an
evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against
a permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment
facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of
equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should
have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass
which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance;
and
(C) The perrnittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph e. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.

Upsets
a . Definition.
"Upset ' rneans 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.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such
technology based perrnit 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.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(I) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part Il, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this
permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has
the burden of proof.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of
wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCCS 143-2151 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. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations
governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued
by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and
modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The
permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of
Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit
is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing
Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices.
7. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation,
Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the

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.
F. ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS CONDITION
The permittee shall continuously evaluate all wastewater disposal alternatives and pursue the most
environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost effective alternatives. If the facility is in
substantial non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the NPDES permit or governing rules,
regulations or laws, the permittee shall submit a report in such form and detail as required by the
Division evaluating these alternatives and a plan of action within sixty (60) days of notification by
the Division.

G, POLLUTANT ANALYSIS CONDITION
The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment plant.
The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be
completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (Le., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral extractables;
(d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The
Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying
memo, to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement, describes the
sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant analysis.
This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring
Requirement" (APAM).
(2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.
For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified ort the APA Requirement
Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the "10 significant peaks rule").
H. RESIDUAL SOLIDS DISPOSAL CONDITION
The Town of Troutman shall develop a plan for the ultimate disposal of residual solids. The town
shall submit a schedule for implementing the disposal plan within six months of the effective date
of this permit. The schedule should be submitted to the Division of Environmental Management at

5. 1ass�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 Measureanera
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the surn 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 conform 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 conform 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 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 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.
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 pemiit.
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 time of sampling,
when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "con nuous 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.
S. 'Type5 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 sarnples 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, cuWon 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
Page4of14
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..

facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or
operating mode for the facility.
"Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to
the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and
permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the
absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by
delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permitte-e may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to
be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section,
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;
including, an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.

inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper
operation.
b. Effect 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.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense o upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:

The wastewater treatment facility serving the Town of Troutman
was not in good operating condition at the time of the site
inspection. Solids were observed flowing out of the clarifier into
the chlorine contact chamber. Considerable foam was also noted in
the creek below the facility. According to Mr. Troutman, Public
Works Director, infiltration and inflow to the facility are the
primary cause of problems at the wastewater treatment facility.
The Town is considering connecting to the City of Statesville in
the near future.
Pending receipt and approval of the Waste Load Allocation, it
is recommended that the NPDES Permit for this facility be reissued.

5. Mass/Day Measur meal .
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.

b. Concentration Measuretent
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 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 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 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.
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.

. 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 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 9f $arnples:
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).

PartIl
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.
1a Calendar Dav
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.

The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of
treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to
achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also
includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This
provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are
installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the
conditions of the permit.
Ne,ed, 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.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities

(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or
operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to
the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and
permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the
absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by
delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to
be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;
including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action
against a permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal

Part II
Page 9 of 14
periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup
equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering
judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment
downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Para c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"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.
b. Effect 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.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part 11, E. 6. (b) (B) of this
permit
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this
permit
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset
has the burden of proof.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or
control of wastewaters shall be utilized/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. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal

Part II
Page 1©of 14
regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503,
any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be
reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40
CFR Part 503. The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the
Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the
regulation, even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee
shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal
practices.
7. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM
Regulation, Title L5A, 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 D. M©NITURINQAND 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 and, 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.
2. Reporting
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month
and reported on a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Forrn (DEM No. MR 1, 1.1, 2,
3) or alternative forms approved by the Director, DEM, postmarked no later than the 30th day
following the completed reporting period.

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.
F. ENGIIIE.RING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS CONDITION
The permittee shall continuously evaluate all wastewater disposal alternatives and pursue the most
environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost effective alternatives. If the facility is in
substantial non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the NPDES permit or governing rules,
regulations or laws, the permittee shall submit a report in such form and detail as required by the
Division evaluating these alternatives and a plan of action within sixty (60) days of notification by
the Division.

G. POLLUTANT ANALYSIS CONDITION
The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment plant.
The discharge shall be evaluated as follows; 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be
completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral extractables;
(d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The
Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying
memo, to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement, describes the
sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant analysis.
This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring
Requirement" (APAM).
(2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.
For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement
Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the "10 significant peaks rule").

CHRONIC TOXICITY PASSCFAIL PERMIT LI IT (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 ' % (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
'armed after thirty days fr?m the effective date of this permit during the months of
to,a y , 1 tv v . Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES
ed 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:

association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dosefresponse 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.

Dear Mayor Powell:
AGEtIENT
Subject: NPDES Permit No. NC0026832
Troutman WWTP
Iredell County, NC
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0026832 was
issued on July 26, 1993 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 plus 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 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.

Subject: Industrial Waste Survey Review and NPDES Permit Modification
Town of Trautman
NPDES Permit Number NC0026832
Ltedell County
Dear Honorable Ms.Powell:
Pretreatment program development requirements are included in Part III J. of your NPDES
permit. At this time, the Pretreatment Group finds that it has insufficient information to
determine if a pretreatment program for the Town is necessary. To assess the need for the
Town to develop a pretreatment program prior to the Town developing the entire program,
the Town must complete an Industrial Waste Survey by April 1, 1994.
Therefore, we are forwarding herewith a modification to the Town's NPDES permit
NC0026832. This modification is reflected in the modified Part III J. attached. This page
must be inserted in your NPDES permit. If the Industrial Waste Survey indicates that a
pretreatment program is necessary, then your NPDES permit will be modified to require to
development of a full program and Part HI J (2 - 11) of the NPDES permit will be reissued.
If any part of the modification is unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicator),
hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This
request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes, and be filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post
Office Drawer 11666, 'Raleigh, North Carolina 27604. Unless such demand is made, this
decision shall be final and binding.

From conversations with the Towns attorney, Mr. JohnMassey it was learned that the
Town has completed most of the revisaioh to its Sewer Use Ordinance. Due to the NPDES
permit modification, the Sewer Use Ordinance submission is not required at this time, but
may be required in the future, It is recommended that you maintain a copy of this
ordinance in case it is needed.
Also, attached please find current pretreatment guidance, the North Carolina
Comprehensive Guidance for North Carolina Pretreatment Programs. which includes
information on completing an Industrial Waste Survey. Should the Town require
assistance or information regarding the modification please call Joseph Pearce of the
Division's Pretreatment Staff at [phone] ext. 525 or John Lesley of the Division's
Mooresville Regional Office at (704)663-1.699..

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The wastewater treatment plant serving the Town of Troutman
appeared to be in good operational condition at the time of the,
site inspection. Effluent quality appeared good and all units
appeared to be functioning properly.
The Town does not have a permanent sludge disposal program.
When needed, sludge is hauled and disposed of onto municipal
property or given to private citizens for fertilizer purposes.
The writer informed the Town that their current disposal
procedures were in violation of the NCAC and that the present
disposal practice be ceased. A sludge land application
alternative was discussed and the Town indicated that this
appeared to be the most feasible alternative. The writer
subsequently forwarded the necessary information to the Town for
applying for a non -discharge permit for sludge disposal.
Pending final review and approval of the Waste Load
Allocation, it is recommended that the NPDES Permit be renewed.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND 'RECOMMENDATIONS
NPDES Discharge Permit No. NC0026832 was issued to the Town of
Troutman for the operation of a 0.22 MGD wastewater treatment
facility. The subject Permit expires on August 31, 1993; and the
Town has requested that the Permit be renewed.
The Aquatic Toxicology Unit of the Division of Environmental
Management has completed a review of the toxicity self -monitoring
program for the subject facility for the period from May 1988
through January, 1992. The review indicates that the subject
facility has been unable to meet Toxicity Self -Monitoring
Requirements. The inability of the Town to meet the required self
-
monitoring toxicity test may indicate that unknown sources of
industrial wasteflow are tributary to the subject facility. There-
fore, it may be necessary for the Town to identify the industrial
users and develope a pretreatment program.
It should be pointed out that the receiving stream has been
reclassified as WS-IV. Therefore, a new wasteload allocation for
the facility may need to be developed by the Technical Support
Branch.
It is recommended that the subject permit be renewed
reflecting any changes in permit limitations, including toxicity
limits. In addition, it is also requested that the Town develops
a comprehensive pretreatment program and a permanent sludge
management plan.

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

Part I
Permit No. NC
e. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the
Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal
to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equiva-
lent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of
the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric
mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1).
g.
Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following:
(1) Not less than four influent or effluent portions collected
at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and composited
in proportion to flow.
(2) Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions
collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional
to the flow.
(3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over
a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow.
Grab Sample: A ""grab sample" is a single influent or effluent
portion which is not a composite sample. The sample(s) shall be
collected at the periods) most representative of the total discharge.

PART 111 OTHER REQUIREMENTS
A. Requirements for Effluent Limitations ori PllutantsAttributable to
industrial Users
1. Effluent limitations from this discharger are listed in Part I of this permit.
It is apparent that other pollutants attributable to inputs from major
contributing industriesusing the municipal system may also be present in the
permitteers discharge. At such time as sufficient information becomes
available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may he
revised to specify effluent limitations for any or all of such other pollutants
in accordance with. best practicable technology or water quality standards.
2. Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction of. the following
wastes into the waste treatment system:
a. Wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works.
b. Wastes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment w rks.
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 tocause a loss of
treatment efficiency.
e. Heat in amounts which will iphihit biological activity in the treatment
works resulting in interference but in no case heat in such quantities
that the temperature at the treatment works influent exceeds 40'C (104o F)
unless the works are, designed toaccomodate such heat. (After August 25, 1991)
3. With regard to theeffluent requirements listed in Part I of this. permit,
it may he necessary for the permittee to supplement the requirements of the
Federal, Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 403) to ensure compliance by
the permittee with all applicable effluent limitations. Such actions by
the permittee may be necessary regarding some or all of the major contri-
buting industries discharging to the municipal system.
The permittee shall require each major contributing industry subject to
pre-treatment standards or any other applicable requirements promulgated
pursuant to Section 307 of the Act to submit to the permittee periodic
notice (at intervals not to exceed q months) regarding specific actions taken
toachieve full compliance with the requirements of Section 307. Starting
on the permittee shall submit semi-annually to the permit
issuing authority' a report summarizing the progress of all known major
contributing industries subject to the requirements of Section 307 towards
full compliance with such requirements. Such report shall include at
least the, following information:

Once the specific nature of industrial contributions has been identified,
data collection and reporting requirements may be levied for other
parameters in addition to those included on Form (DEM No. 1.0, 1.1,
1.2, and 1.3).
5. 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 403), 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.

PRIMARY TREATMENT:
The major units providing. primary treatment for the expanded Troutman Wastewater
Treatment Plant are described below, A treatment flow diagram illustrating these units
together with the succeeding units is shown on Figure IV-6.
1. COARSE SCREENING FACILITIES:
One mechanically cleaned and one manually cleaned bar screen will be provided
in a multiple unit installation designed for expansion to the future flow capacity.
The bar screens will be designed with a I" clear opening between bars and
a maximum wet weather flow velocity of 2.5 per second through the bars.
The screen channels will have individual sluice gates and dewatering facilities
for the maintenance and repair of the bar screens. The channels will be sized to maintain
the hydraulic gradient and will be filleted to minimize the settling of solids,
The cleaning mechanism will be automatically controlled on a wastewater level
basis with an overriding control to limit the duration of inoperative periods to an adjustable
maximum period*
2. GRIT REMOVAL FACILITIES:
One aerated grit chamber with a bypass will be provided for grit removal*
Removal of grit will eliminate deposition at distribution boxes and will reduce wear on
aerators, pipe and pumps.
3, DETENTION BASIN:
A 4-hour retention time basin will be employed to prevent periodic hydraulic
overloading of the facility. This will insure a controlled hydraulic flow through the
treatment process and thus allow the optimum utilization of the following units.
A mixing device will also be provided to prevent solid settling.
C. CONTACT STABLILZATION TREATMENT UNITS:
Each unit will consist of the following treatment steps. Detention times given are
the accepted ranges because different manufacturers of these package units use different
conibinations.
I. AEROBIC CONTACT ZONE:
In this zone the absorptive phase will take pace. The sewage will be mixed
with return activated sludge and aerated. A retention time of 30 to 90 minutes will be
utilized.
V11143..I4

2. CIARIFfER:
The sludge will be separated by sedimen a
rate of 600 gpd/ square foot is anticipated.
3. REAERATION ZONE:
anticipated.
the clarifier. An overflow
Oxidation occurs in this zone nd a detention time of 3 to 6 hours is
4. BASIN AND STRUCTURE DRAINS:
Each basin and/or other structure will be provided with a positive means of
draining said basin and/or structure, The water thus drained will be transferred directly
to a comparable treatment unit or discharged into the plant influent sewer for return
through the treatment plant. No basin and/or structure drain will be discharged directly
to the creek.
D. PLANT BYPASS:
No plant bypass will be provided. Therefore, all raw sewage and return sludge pump
stations will be provided with standby power and the pumps will be sized for thc
nonsurcharged capacity of the sewer entering the pump station.
E, SLUDGE DISPOSAL:
Excess activated sludge solids will be wasted from each clarifier into a gravity sewer
which will transport the waste sludge to a sludge well. This thin sludge can be pumped
to the aerobic digesters. The digester liquor will be returned to the reaeration zone. The
sludge solids pumped to the sand drying beds will be dried and disposed of in landfill.

Dear Honorable Ms. Po -well:
The Pretreatment Group of the Division of Environmental Management has reviewed the
Industrial Waste Survey (IWS) for the Town of Troutman This IWS was submitted by
Hydrologic and received by the Division on August 8, 1994. The review indicates that the IWS
is complete and satisfies the requirements of Part HI Item J. of the Town's NPDES discharge
perrnit.
The IWS indicated that no Significant Industrial Users as defined by 15A NCAC 2H .0903 (b)(9)
exist in Troutman at this time, and therefore, development of a pretreatment program will not be
required. Mr. John Massey, the Town's attorney, contacted the Division in January regarding the
submission of a Sewer Use Ordinance for the Town, The Division determined that a Sewer Use
Ordinance was inappropriate for submission at that time, but may be required pending
completion of the IWS. Due to the pretreatment program not being required, the Sewer Use
Ordinance will not be required.
Please note that the Town is required to review wastewater treatment plant users and particularly,
new users to determine if they are potentially significant industrial users. Significant Industrial
Users are required to obtain permits prior to discharging to the wastewater treatment plant. If the
Town finds that a potential significant industrial user exists or is requesting to discharge to the
Town, the Division's Pretreatment Staff must be notified to initiate the permitting process of the
user and to modify the NPDES permit to include pretreatment program development.

Dear Mr. Powell:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC 0026832 was
issued on September 15, 1988 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(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 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, 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 704/663-1.699 in Mooresville
if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward
to providing any assistance.

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

Part I
Page of
Permit No. NC
e. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the
Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal
to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equiva-
lent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of
the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric
mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1).
f. Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following:
(1) Not less than four influent or effluent portions collected
at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and composited
in proportion to flow.
(2) Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions
collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional
to the flow.
(3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over
a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow.
Grab Sample: A "grab sample" is a single influent or effluent
portion which is not a composite sample. The samples) shall be
collected at the period(s) most representative of the total discharge.
4. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC
regulations published pursuant to N. C. G. S. 143-215.63 et seq, The
Water and Air Quality Reporting Act, and to regulations published pursuant

Ali discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and
conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified
in this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that
authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit. Any anticipated
facility expansions, production increases, or process modifications which
will result in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must
be reported by submission of a new NPDES application or, if such changes
will not violate the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by
notice to the DEM of such changes. Following such notice, the permit
may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited.
Non compliance Notification
If, for any reason, the permittee does not comply with or will be unable
to comply with any effluent limitation specified in this permit, the per-
mittee shall provide the Division of Environmental Management with the
following information, in writing, within five (5) days of becoming aware
of such condition:
a. A description of the discharge and cause of noncompliance; and
b. The period of noncompliance, including exact dates and times; or,
if not corrected; the anticipated time the noncompliance is expected
to continue, and steps being taken to reduce, eliminate and prevent
recurrence of the noncomplying discharge.

scheduled to be performed as part. of an Environmental Protection Agency
facilities planning project,
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the
course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be disposed of 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.
7. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards to
prevent the discharge of untreated of inadequately treated wastes
during electrical power failures either by means of alternate power
sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated efflu-
ent. Should the treatment works not include the above capabilities at
time of permit issuance, the permittee must furnish within six months
to the permitting authority, for approval, an implementation schedule
for their installing, or documentation demonstrating that such measures
are not necessary to prevent discharge of untreated or inadequately
treated wastes. Such documentation shall include frequency and duration

PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS
A. Requirements for Effluent Limitations on PollutantsA
Industrial Users
Effluent limitations from this discharger are listed in Part I of this
permit. It is apparent that other pollutants attributable to inputs
from major contributing industries usingthe municipal system may also be
present in the permitteets discharge. At such time as sufficient infor-
mation becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants,
this permit may be revised to specify effluent limitations for any or
all ofsuch other pollutants in accordance with best practicable technology
or water quality standards.
2. Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow iritroduction of the following
wastesinto the waste treatment system:
a. Wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works.
b. Wistes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment works
c.
Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to the
flow in sewers or interference with the proper operation of the treatment
works.
d. Wastewaters at a. flow rate and/or pollutant discharge rate which is
excessive over relatively short time periods so as to cause a loss of
treatment efficiency.
With ‘-egard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit,
it be necessary for the permittee to supplement the requirements of the
Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 128) to ensure compliance by
the permittee with all applicable effluent limitations. Such actions by
the permittee may be necessary regarding some or all of the major contri-
buting industries discharging to the municipal system.
The permittee shall require each major contributing industry subject to
pre-treatment standards or any other applicable requirements promulgated
pursuant to Section 307 of the Act to submit to the permittee periodic
notice (at intervals not to exceed 9 months) regarding specific actions taken
to achieve full compliance with the requirements of Section 307. Starting
on the permittee shall submit semi-annually to the permit
issuing authority a report summarizing the progress of all known major con-
tributing industries subject to the requirements of Section 307 towards full
compliance with such requirements. Such report shall include at least the
following information:

a. A narrative summary of actions taken by the permittee to ensure.
that all major contributing industries comply with the requirements
of Section 307.
b. The number of major contributing industries using the treatment
works, divided into SIC group categories.
c. The number ofmajor contributing industries in full compliance.
with the requirements of Section 307, or not subject to these
requirements (e.g., discharge onlycompatible pollutants).
d. A list identifying byname those major contributing industries
presently in violation of the requirements of Section 307.
LL immediately upon issuance of this permit, the permittee shall establish
and implement a procedure to obtain from all major contributing indus-
tries specific information on the quality and quantity of effluents intro-
duced by such industrial users. The following information shall be
reported to the permitting agency on a quarterly basis beginning
; quarterly reports reflecting no change from the previous quarter
may simply relate this fact, without submitting repetitive data.
a.
b.
Section IV, Standard Form A shall be completed and sub
each major contributing industry.
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
1.3).
tted for
Once the specific nature of industrial contributions has been identified,
data collection and reporting requirements may be levied for other
parameters in addition to those included on Form (DEM No. 1.0, 1.1,
1.2, and 1.3).
5. Based on theinformation 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 128), 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.

Permit No. NC
e. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the
Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal
to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equiva-
lent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of
the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric
mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1).
f. Composite Sample: A "composite sample" Is any of the following:
(1) Not less than four influent or effluent portions collected
at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and composited
in proportion to flow.
(2) Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions

A. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS
1. Change in Discharge,
All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and
conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified
in this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that
authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit. Any anticipated
facility expansions, production increases, or process modifications which
will result in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must
be reported by submission of a new NPDES application or, if such changes
will not violate the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by
notice to the DEM of such changes. Following such notice, the permit
may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited.
2. Non compliance Notification
If, for any reason, the permittee does not comply with or will be unable
to comply with any effluent limitation specified in this permit, the per-
mittee shall provide the Division of Environmental Management with the
following information, in writing, within five (5) days of becoming aware
of such condition:
a. A description of the discharge and cause of noncompliance; and
b. The period of noncompliance, including exact dates and times; or,.
if not corrected; the anticipated time the noncompliance is expected
to continue, and steps being taken to reduce, eliminate and prevent
recurrence of the noncomplying discharge.
Facilities Operation
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.
4. Adverse Impact
The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize any adverse
impact to navigable waters resulting from noncompliance with any effluent
limitations specified in this permit, including such accelerated or
additional monitoring as necessary to determine the nature and impact of
the noncomplying discharge.
5. Bypassing
Any diversion from or bypass of facilities necessary to maintain compliance
with the terms and conditions of this permit is prohibited, except (i where
M 8 & I 7

PART II

unavoidable to prevent loss of life or severe property damage, or
ii) where excessive storm drainage or runoff would damage any facilities
necessary for complaince with the effluent limitations and prohibitions
of this permit. All permittees who have such sewer bypasses or overflows
of this discharge shall submit, not later than six months from the date
of issue of this permit, detailed data or engineering estimates which
identify:
a. The location of each sewer system bypass or overflow;
b. The frequency, duration and quantity of flow from each sewer
system bypass or overflow.
This requirement is waived where infiltration/inflow analyses are
scheduled to be performed as part of an Environmental Protection Agency
facilities planning project.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the
course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be disposed of 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.
7. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining ad quate safeguards to
prevent the discharge of untreated of inadequately treated wastes
during electrical power failures either by means of alternate power
sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated efflu-
ent. Should the treatment works not include the above capabilities at
time of permit issuance, the permittee must furnish within six months
to the permitting authority, for approval, an implementation schedule
for their installing, or documentation demonstrating that such measures
are not necessary to prevent discharge of untreated or inadequately
treated wastes. Such documentation shall include frequency and duration
of power failures and an estimate of retention capacity of untreated
effluent.

IndustrialUsers
1. Effluent limitations from this discharger are listed in Part I of this
permit. 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 infor-
mation becomes available to establish limitations for 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.
2. Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction of the following
wastes into the waste treatment system:
a. Wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works.
b.
Wastes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment works.
c. Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to the
flow in sewers or interference with the proper operation of the treatment
works.
d. Wastewaters at a flow rate and/or pollutant discharge rate which is
excessive over relatively short time periods so as to cause a loss of
treatment efficiency.
. With regard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit,
it may be necessary for the permittee to supplement the requirements of the
Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 128) 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 achievefull compliance with the requirements of Section 307. Starting
Ofl 1 ip7 the permittee shall submit semi-annually to the permit
issuing authority a report summarizing the progress ofall known major con-
tributing industries subject to therequirements of Section 307 towards full
compliance with such. requirements. Such report shall include at least the
following information:
M 13

PART III
Page of
Permit No. NC
a. A narrative summary of actions taken by the permittee to ensure
that all major contributing industries comply with the requirements
of Section 307.
b. The number of major contributing industries using the treatment
works, divided into SIC group categories,
c. The number of major contributing industries in full compliance
with the requirements of Section 307, or not subject to these
requirements (e.g., discharge only compatible pollutants).
d. A list identifying by name those major contributing industries
presently in violation of the requirements of Section 307.
4, Immediately upon issuance of this permit the permittee shall establish
and implement a procedure to obtain from all major contributing indus-
tries specific information on the quality and quantity of effluents intro-
duced by such industrial users. The following information shall be
reported to the permitting agency on a quarterly basis beginning
; quarterly reports reflecting no change from the previous quarter
may simply relate this fact, without submitting repetitive data.
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
1.3).
Once the specific nature of industrial contributions has been identified,
data collection and reporting requirements may be levied for other
parameters in addition to those included on Form (OEM No. 1.0, 1.1,
1.2, and 1.3).
5. 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 sh 11 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 128), 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.

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 ts
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. Itis, 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
limitatjon is idelltlfied as "Weekly AveTng" ir 1- of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge," is the totsl mass (weight) of a
pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is
taken during any calendar daythe weight of pollutant calculated. from
it is the "maximumdaily. 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 pormit.

Part 11
Page 12. of 14
6, Concentrt1on Measurement
a. The. "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coli
form
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/er 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 e
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 thanfor fecal conform 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 dischargessampled
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 forfecal 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 R pollutant
discharge during a calendar day. It is identified as "Daily Maximum"
under "Other Limits" in Part J of the permit,
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 dailydischarges 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.

7. Other Measurements
Flow, (MCI)): 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 dailyflows 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.
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 toflow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If a compositesample 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 beno 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 he 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.

THER REQUIREMENTS
Requirementsfor Control of Pollutants Attributable to Industrial Users.
esm�
Effluent limitations are listed in Part I of this permit. Other pollutants
attributable to inputs from major contributing industries using the
municipal system may be present in the permittee's discharge. At such time
as sufficient information becomes available to establish limitations for
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.
2 Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction of the
following wastes into the waste treatment system:
a. Wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works.
b. Wastes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment
works, and in no case discharges with p11 less than 5 unless the system
is specifically designed to accommodate such discharges,
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 concentration which will
cause an inhibition or disruption of the POTW, its treatment
processes, operation, or sludge use and disposal.
e Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the treatment
works, resulting in interference but in no case heat in, such
quantities that the temperature at the treatment works influent
exceeds 40 C (104 F) unless the works are designed to accommodate such

Present Permit includes monitoring for conventional parameters only.
Effluent/Receiving Waters - Samples were taken for nonconventional parameters to provide
a data base for the Permit renewal process. See attached laboratory summary sheet.
Self -Monitoring Program - A review was made of self -monitoring data for the period from.
September, 1987 through August, 1988; total compliance with discharge limits is indicated
for the review period. Noted deficiencies are as follows:.
1. Facility has infrequently reported Fecal Coliform data preceded by a greater than
symbol (i.e.,>60O/100 mi).
2. Holidays excepted, compliance with parameter monitoring frequencies is not total.
3. By regulation daily is defined as every day an which a wastewater discharge occurs
except Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays; facility does not always comply (i.e.,
Sunday through Thursday schedule has been adopted for some parameters).
