PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The proposal to contruct a new WWTP to serve the Town of Longview is not in keeping withour understanding of the selected plan for the approved area 201 plan. The finding of this study was that it was morecost effective to utilize the existing Longview WWTP as a pretreatment facility and to convey the pretreated effluent to the new City of Hickory - Henry Fork WWTP. The selected plan has long since been implemented and considerable federal and state grant funds were used in construction of sewer lines and capacity at the Henry Fork WWTP to serve the Town of Long View. Page Three It is our understanding that Longview is considering building its' own WWTP because of disagreements with. the City of Hickory and due to its' desire to better control its' own destiny. These are feelings that are shared by a number of municipalities that are involved with regional wastewater treatment facilities. Such disenchantment is regrettable but does not change the fact that Longview committed itself to participate in the 201 plan and is obligated to the conditions of the grants that were. given to implement the, selected plan. We recommend that the Construction Grants Section be requested to evaluate Longview's grant committments and to ascertain whether it would be necessary for Longview to repay that portion of the grants which were used to accomodate their needs. It is further recommended that the application for permit be denied since it is not in keeping with the findings of the 201 plan which determined that the cost effective alternative (including assessment of environmental considerations) was to build a regional wastewater treatment facility. It is our opinion that the 201 plan would need to be amended, showing this to be cost effective, and that the matter of Longviews' grant committments would need to be resolved before issuance of a permit could be recommended.

Box 27687 Raleigh, NC 27611 Re: Special Order by Consent, Town of Long View Catawba County, North Carolina Dear Mr. Grigg: On September 17, 1980, a Special Order by Consent was entered into setting certain limits for commencement of construction of the outfall line to the 201 Henry Fork Waste- water Treatment Plant being December 1, 1980. It now appears that we will not be able to meet this deadline due to the fact that our grant application has been delayed and funds are not available for the construction of the connector line. This would also mean that the other dates mentioned in the Special Order by Consent will probably not be met due to that fact. In view of this, we respectfully request an extension of the Special Order by Consent. In the meantime, we have been able to comply with the effluent limitations contained in the order, due largely to a more efficient operation of the plant, including a complete change of personnel, and also due to the fact that the user volume is down somewhat. We shall continue our efforts to comply with the standards. We would appreciate your consideration of this application for extension of time.

M 12 PART I Page of Permit No. NC PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS Requirements, nts for Effluent. E:Imitations on Pollutants Attri.b Industrial Users I. 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 :information, becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may bey 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 vfsc©us 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 poli.utant discharge rate which is excessive over relatively short time;. periods so as to cause a loss treatment efficiency. 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 I) unless the works are designed to accomodate such heat. (After August 25, 1931) With regard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit, it may be necessary for the permittee to supplement the requirements of the Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 403) to ensure compliance by the permittee with all applicable effluent limitations. Such actions by the permittee may be necessary regarding some or all of the major contri- buting industries discharging to the municipal system. The ierm- tee 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 a Ns suing authority a report summarising 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 followi.n€r information: 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). A list identifying by name thosemajor 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 andreporting 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 notifiedby 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.

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, M /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 antlog 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. g. (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 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 to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act As Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136. 5. Recording Results For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of this permit, the permittee shall record the following information: a. The exact place, date, and time of sampling; b. The dates the analyses were performed; and c. The person(s) who performed the analyses. M6 PART I Page of Permit No. NC 6. Additional Monitoring by Permittee If the permittee monitors any pollutant at the location(s) designated herein more frequently than required by this permit, using approved analytical methods as specified above, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the values required in the Monthly Monitoring Report Form (DEM No. MR 1.0, 1.1, and 1.4) Such increased frequency shall also be indicated. The DEM may require more frequent monitoring or the monitoring of other pollutants not required in this permit by written notification. 7. Records Retention All records and information resulting from the monitoring activities required by this Permit including all records of analyses performed and calibration and maintenance of instrumentation and recordings from continuous monitoring instrumentation shall be retained for a minimum of three (3) years, or longer if requested by the Division of Environmental Management or the Regional Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. M7 PART JT Permit No. NC 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 (r) 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 tominimize 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. 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 & 17 PART II Page of Permit No. NC 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 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 of power failures and an estimate of retention capacity of untreated effluent. . Onshore or Offshore Construction This permit does not authorize or approve the construction of any onshore or offshore physical structures or facilities or the undertaking of any work in any navigable waters.

Industrial Pretreatment Standards Permittee shall require any industrial dischargers into the permitted system to meet Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 128) promulgated in response to Section 307(b) of the Act. The permittee shall provide semi-annual reports to the permitting agency regarding the pre-treatment requirements which have been imposed on each major contri- buting industry and the results achieved therefrom. Other information may be needed regarding, new industrial discharges and this will be requested from the permittee after the permitting agency has received notice of the new industrial discharge. A major contributing industry is one that: (1) has a flow of 50,000 gallons or more per average work day; (b) has a flow greater than five percent of the flow carried by the municipal system receiving the waste; (c) has in its waste a toxic pollutant in toxic amounts as defined in standards issued under Section 307(a) of the Act; (d) has significant impact either singly or in combination with other contributing industries, on the treatment works or the quality of its effluent. Any change in the definition of a major contributing industry as a result of promulgations in response to Section 307 of the Act shall become a part of this Permit. M 12 PART III Page of Permit No, NC PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS A. Requirements for Effluent ns on Pollutants 'butable to Industrial Use 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. 44.istes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works. b. Wistes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment works. c. Send 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 ,aegard 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 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: 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 reportingrequirements 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 authoritycalculations 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. M 14 PART III Page of Permi t No. C B. Previous Permits All previous State water quality permits issued to this facility, whether for construction or operation or discharge, are hereby revoked by issuance of this permit. The conditions, requirements, terms, and provisions of this permit authorizing discharge under the National Pollutant discharge Elimination System governs discharges from this facility. C. Construction No construction of wastewater treatment facilities or additions thereto shall be begun until Final Plans and Specifications have been submitted to the Division of Environmental Management and written approval and Authorization to Construct has been issued. If no objections to Final Plans and Specifications has been made by the OEM after 30 days following receipt of the plans or issuance of this permit, whichever is latter, the plans may be considered approved and construction authorized. D. Certified Operator Pursuant to Chapter 90A of North Carolina General Statutes, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible charge of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent. to the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities. E No new sewer connections or sewer extensions and no increQases in industrial flow shall be made to the existing sewerage system without the prior written consent of the Director, Division of Environmental management.

The monthly average, other than for fecal colifrm bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of all the composite samples co "elected 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 they 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, M /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. M5 Part 1 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. Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional to the flow. g• An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow. Grab Sample: A "grab sample" is a single influent or effluent portion which is not a composite sample. The sample(s) shall be collected at the period(s) most representative of the total discharge. 4.

The permittee shall provide semi-annual reports to the permitting agency regarding the pre-treatment requirements which have been imposed on each major contri- buting industry and the results achieved therefrom. Other information may be needed regarding new industrial discharges and this will be requested from the permittee after the permitting agency has received notice of the new industrial discharge. A major contributing industry is one that: (1) has a flow of 50,000 gallons or more per average work day; (b) has a flow greater than five percent of the flow carried by the municipal system receiving the waste; (c) has in its waste a toxic pollutant in toxic amounts as defined in standards issued under Section 307(a) of the Act; (d) has significant impact either singly or in combination with other contributing industries, an the treatment works or the quality of its effluent. Any change in the definition of a major contributing industry as a result of promulgations in response to Section 307 of the Act shall become a part of this Permit. M 12 PART III Page of Permit No. NC PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS A. Requirements for Effluent Lirnitations on Pollutants Attributable to 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 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 tospecify 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. Wstes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works. b. Wistes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment works. c. Selid 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 eegard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit, it ma' 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 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 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: M 13 PART III Page of Permit, Noe NC A narrative summaryof 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). . 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 (DEM No. 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3). Based on the information regarding industrial inputs reported by the permittee pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the permittee will be notified by the permitting authority of the availability of industrial effluent guidelines on which to calculate allowable inputs of incompatible pollutants based on BPT for each industry group. Copies of guidelines will he 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. M 14 PART III Page of Permit No. NC B. Previous Permits All previous State water quality permits issued to this facility, whether for construction or operation or discharge, are, hereby revoked by issuance of this permit. The conditions, requirements, terms, and provisions of this permit authorizing discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systemgoverns discharges from this facility. C. Construction No construction of wastewater treatment facilities or additions thereto shall be begun until Final Plans and Specifications have been submitted to the Division of Environmental Management and written approval and Authorization to Construct has been issued. If no objections to Final Plans and Specifications has been made by the DEM after 30 days following receipt of the plans or issuance of this permit, whichever is latter, the plans may be considered approved and construction authorized. D. Certified Operator Pursuant to Chapter 90A of North Carolina General Statutes, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in respOnsible charge of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities. E. No new sewerage connections, extensions, or increases in industrial flows shall be made to the existing wastewater collection and treatment system without the prior written consent of the Division of Environmental Management.

Definitions a. The monthly average, other than far fecal conform 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 g• 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). Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following: 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 period(s) most representative of the total discharge. 4.

A major contributing industry is one that: (1) has a flow of 50,000 gallons or more per average work day; (b) has a flow greater than five percent of the flow carried by the municipal system receiving the waste; (c) has in, its waste a toxic pollutant in toxic amounts as defined in standards issued under Section 307(a) of the Act; (d) has significant impact either singly or in combination with other contributing industries, on the treatment works or the quality of its effluent. Any change in the definition of a major contributing industry as a result of promulgations in response to Section 307 of the Act shall become a part of this Permit. M 12 PART rir Page of Permit No. NC PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS A. Requirements for Effluent Limitations on PollutantsAttributable to Industrial Use 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 treat ent system: a. Wstes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works. b. Wistes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment works. c. Slid 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. 3. With -egard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit, it ma2 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 30/ 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: M 13 PART III Page of Permit No. NC a. A narrative surnrnary 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 contributin l 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 tc be reported on the monthly Monitoring Report Form (DEM - No. MR l.Cl, l.l, 1.2, and 1.3). Once the, specific nature of industrial contributions has been identified, data collection and reporting requirements may be levied for other parameters in addition to those included on Form (DEM No. 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3). Based on the information regarding industrial inputs reported by the permittee pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the permittee will be notified by the permitting authority of the availability of industrial effluent guidelines on which to calculate allowable inputs of incornpatits'ie 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.

M12 PART Page of Permit No. NC PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS Requirements for Effluent Lim itations on Pollutants Attributab 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 using the municipal system may also be present in the pernmittees 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. Under rra circumstances shall the ,permittee allow introduction of the following wastes into the waste treatment system: kstes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works. Wastes which, will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment works. Slid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to the fiow 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 maj 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: 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 groupcategories. 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 followinginformation 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. Information on the municipal facility as a whoie 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 (DEM No. 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3). . Based on the information regarding industrial inputs reported by the permittee pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the permittee will be notified by the permitting authority of the availability of industrial effluent guidelines on which to calculate allowable inputs of incompatible pollutants based on BPT for each industry group. Copies of guidelines will be provided as appropriate. Not later than 120 days following receipt of this information, the permittee shall submit to the permitting authority calculations reflecting allowable inputs from each major con- tributing industry. The permittee shall also require all such major contributing industries to implement necessary 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.
