This letter serves as the written report required by the General Discharge Permit for an
unanticipated bypass that occurred at the referenced site. Shield Environmental Associates
Inc. (Shield) notified. Linda Vernon by phone on January 14, 1997 of this unanticipated
bypass. The bypass, discovered on January 14, 1997, was caused by a frozen 1-1/2°gravity
feed line from the airstripper tower to the sump tank of the groundwater remediation system
(GRS). Figure 1 is a system layout indicating the location of the unanticipated bypass. When the
gravity feed line froze, it caused water to back up in the airstripper tower and eventually the
weight of the water overcame the air pressure of the blower and discharged out the blower.
The bypass resulted in a discharge of secondary treated groundwater to an unpaved land
surface within the treatment compound; surface waters were not irnpacted. Figure 2 is a site
plan showing the location of the treatment compound and approximate discharge area of the
unanticipated bypass.
Prior to the line freezing, approximately 907 gallons of water were discharged between site
visits on January 7, 1997 and January 1.4, 1997 according to the effluent flow meter readings
(table 1). Based on influent Clow meter readings, an average daily influent of 324 gallons per
day (gpd) and assuming about 40 percent is lost through evaporation during the airstripping
process, we estimate that 194 gpd would have been discharged if the bypass had not occurred,
Since 907 gallons of treated water were discharged, we estimate the bypass began on or about
January 11, 1997 (907 gallons ± 194 gpd = 4.6 days), By multiplying the 194 gpd by seven
days and subtracting the 907 gallons that discharged through the effluent flow meter,. the
estimated unanticipated bypass was about 451 gallons (194 gpd x 7 days .. 907 gallons .- 451
gallons).

Upon discovery of the unanticipated bypass, the groundwater treatment system was
immediately shut off. Shield attempted, without success, to actively melt the ice in the gravity
feed line. The GRS, therefore, will be restarted when the line becomes naturally unfrozen.
Additional insulation and heat tape will then be installed on the gravity feed line and any other
lines which have the potential to freeze.

This letter serves as the 24-hour notification and written report required by the General
Discharge Permit for an unanticipated bypass that occurred at the referenced site. The
bypass, discovered on February 8, 1994, was caused by a break in the line that carries water
from the oil/water separator to the airstripping tower of the groundwater treatment system.
The bypass resulted in a discharge to an unpaved land surface; surface waters were not
impacted. Approximately 5656 gallons of water were discharged between site visits on
February 1 and February 8, 1994. Based on an average daily discharge of 1200 gpd, we
estimate that the bypass began on or about February 6, 1994 (5656 gallons = 1200 gpd
4.7 days). Thus our estimated maximal discharge was about 2400 gallons. The break in the
line was probably caused by the extremely cold weather North. Carolina experienced during
the month of January 1994,
Upon discovery of the break in the line, the groundwater treatment system was immediately
shut off and the line was repaired. Figure 1 is a site location map indicating the location of
the permitted discharge. Figure 2 is a site plan showing the location of the treatment system
and approximate location of the unanticipated bypass.

This letter serves as the written report required by the General Discharge Pernut for an
unanticipated bypass that occurred at the referenced site. The bypass, discovered on January
16, 1996 (Table 1), was caused by a break after transfer pump #1 in the PVC line that carries
water from the equalization tank to the aggregate and activated carbon units of the
groundwater treatment system (Figure 1). The bypass resulted in a discharge to an unpaved
land surface; surface waters were not impacted. Prior to the line break, approximately 4722
gallons of water were discharged between site visits on December 29, 1995 and January 16,
1996. Based on an average daily discharge of 339 gpd, we estimate that the bypass began on
or about January 12, 1996 (4722 gallons = 339 gpd— 13.9 days). Thus our estimated
maximal discharge was about 1360 gallons. The break in the line was probably caused by the
extremely cold weather which occurred during this time period of January 1996.
Upon discovery of the break in the line, the groundwater treatment system was imrraediately
shut off and the line was repaired. Figure 1 is a system layout with the location of the
unanticipated bypass. Figure 2 is a site plan showing the location of the treatment system as
approximate discharge area of the unanticipated bypass.

Accidental Discharge
Petroleum World #2, Cleveland County, North Carolina
POTW Permit No. GWO1
Groundwater Incident Number 5066
This letter serves as the written report required by the POTW permit for an accidental
discharge that was discovered on January 16„ 1996 at the referenced site (Table 1). On
January 17, 1996, Shield Environmental Associates, Inc. notified Robert Schiller at the
Mooresville Regional Office of the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and
Natural Resources and Mr. Donald F. Rhom, Plant Engineer with the City of Shelby, was
notified on January 19, 1996 of this discharge. The discharge occurred as a result of a
pressure buildup in the carbon unit, causing the PVC coupling on the effluent side of the
airstripper transfer pump to break. The discharge resulted in a release onto the treatment
system pad, which then flowed onto a paved land surface and into the storm drairi. Because
the influent wastewater was treated by the airstripper with an average contaminant removal
efficiency of 99.7 % (Table 2), it is doubtful that significant contaminant concentrations were
present in the discharged water.
Prior to the discharge, the system treated an average of 867 gallons per day (gpd) based on
effluent flow data from December 12, 1995 to December 28, 1995. The discharge was
calculated to occur on January 11, 1996 by dividing the interval flow for January 16, 1996
(1443 gallons) by the average effluent flow of 867 gpd and adding the 1.7 days to the last
inspection date of January 9, 1996. By multiplying the 5.3 remaining days before the
discharge was discovered by 867 gpd, Shield calculated approximately 4,600 gallons of water
were discharged between January 11, 1996 and January 16, 1996.

The groundwater tretrnen system was immediately shut off on January 16, 1996.upon
discovery of the discharge and will be left off until receipt of a new low pressure transfer
pump which will be more cornpatable with the existing low pressure carbon unit. Shield will
continue to visually check the condition of the PVC couplings to reduce the risk of the
occurrence of another accidental discharge. Figure 1 is a site location map indicating the
location of the treatment system and approximate location of the accidental discharge. Figure
2 is a system layout showing the airstripper transfer pump and the PVC coupling where the
discharge occured.

TO DEM MOE.4 EEE'1I
P. 0 1
This letter serves as the 24-hour notification and written report required by the General
Discharge Permit for an unanticipated bypass that occurred at the referenced site. The
bypass, discovered on February 8, 1994, was caused by a break in the line that carries water
from the oil/water separator to the airstripping tower of the groundwater treatment system.
The bypass resulted in a discharge to an unpaved land surface; surface waters were not
impacted, Approximately 5656 gallons of water were discharged between site visits on
February 1 and February 8, 1994, Based on an average daily discharge- of 120() gpd, we
estimate that the bypass.bega.nn on or about February 6, 1994 (5656 gallons - 1.200 gpd
4.7 days). Thus our estimated maximal discharge was about 2400 gallons. The break in the
line was probably caused by the extremely cold weather North Carolina experienced during
the month of January 1994,
Upon discovery of the break in the line, tfse ;groundwater treatment system was irnmediately
shut off and the line was repaired. Figure 1 is a site location map indicating the location of
the permitted discharge. Figure 2 is a site plan showing the location of the treatment system
and approximate location of the unanticipated bypass.

The proposed method of treatment is typical of treatment
methods used by the petroleum industry for groundwater
remediation activities. Approval for use of these facilities is
contingent upon receipt and approval of the wasteload allocation.
Field estimates indicate that the receiving stream has a
7Q10 and 30Q2 of 0 cfs. It is the understanding of this Office
that this does not preclude an applicant for groundwater
remediation from obtaining an NPDES Permit.
Because of the close proximity to adjacent residences, the
applicant will beexpected to demonstrate that the proposed
facilities will not create nuisance problems (noise, odors) prior
to issuance of an Authorization to Construct.
Pending receipt of a wasteload allocation, it is recommended
that the NPDES Permit be issued.

Route 4, Box 262
Hickory, North Carolina
(1) Waste Characteristics - The waste stream in particular at
this facility is recovered groundwater resulting from UST
corrective actions taken as a result of a prOduct loss at this
facility. Estimated flowrate will be on the order of seven
gallons per minute and be measured by an in -line flowmeter.
(2) The point source discharge alternative was selected for
this site as a result of its location and proximity to nearby
developed areas. The facility is located in a rural,
undeveloped setting; no public water or sewerage systems are
available for several miles around. The low permeability nature
of the soils along with available land space make subsurface
disposal or spray irrigation alternatives unsuitable for this
application. Furthermore, the proposed temporary nature of the
system (2 -4 years) results in the implementation of a system
such as the point source discharge alternative, the most
environmentally sound.
(3) This proposal is provided to describe the recommended
method of treatment for recovered contaminated groundwater at
the referenced site. Based upon hydrogeologic assessment
studies conducted to date, two to three recovery wells will be
required, each producing approximately two gallons per minute of
recovered groundwater utilizing pump and treat techniques. The
pump and treat approach to remediation by air stripping and/or
carbon absorption methods is the most common utilized remedial
technique throughout the industry. Treatment involving packed
column air stripping has long been established as a primary
treatment for a wide spectrum of volatile organic compounds.
Recovered groundwater will be direct by pumping to a packed
column air stripper (see attached) for pretreatment purposes.
Dual pump recovery systems with mass and conductance float
assemblies will be utilized to recover both free phase product
and groundwater, mitigating the use of an oil water separator.
From this point, the treated groundwater will flow to a transfer
tank/pump assembly.
The transfer pump will pump the partially -treated groundwater
through a series of two liquid phase activated carbon canisters
for final treatment. To size the treatment equipment and assure
adequate treatment of the recovered groundwater, the following
parameters were assumed for equipment selection and design:
ADVENT

Flow rate, total 7 GPM ,./: ((2 S ' 4-
Benzene 1000 PPB
Toluene 1000 PPB
0, M, P xylenes, totl 1000 PPB
Water temperature 45 degrees F
The air stripper to be utilized for this application will
consist of the following specifications:
Column diameter
Overall height
Packed Column height
Mass transfer
Air/Water Ratio
Expected recovered rate,
benzene drive
1 foot
17 feet
14 feet
two-inch Jaeger tripacks
150:1
95 percent
This should result in an expected effluent concentration of 50
PPB benzene with lower values for the other constituents of
interest. The air stripper treated groundwater will discharge
into a transfer pump sump consisting of a 55-gallon drum with
high and low level switches for transfer pump shut on and off.
The transfer pump specifications are attached and should easily
handle the expected flows and pressure requirements. From this
point, the transfer pump pumps the groundwater through a series
of two activated carbon absorption canisters for final treatment
before discharge. The activated carbon specifications are
attached. This will assure adequate treatment of the

■ CARBTROL® canisters utilize the proven effectiveness of
granular activated carbon to provide economical and effec-
tive removal of organic contaminants from air and water,
■ The canisters are designed for treatment of gas streams to
500 CFM and liquid systems to 10 gpm.
▪ CARBTRCLm adsorption units consist of heavy-duty steel
canisters, double epoxy -lined, fitted with chemically inert
internal distribution and collection systems.
▪ The canisters contain between 140 and 200 lbs. of custom -
selected activated carbon media (depending on model and
application) and can be operated at temperatures to 140°F
and pressures to 8 PSIG.
111 The CARBTROV adsorption canister system is shipped to
your facility ready for easy installation. Normally, all that is
required is connection of inlet and outlet piping or ducting.
When exhausted, the CARBTROL canister can be shipped
to an appropriate landfill or regeneration facility, since the
canister is a D.O.T. approved container for handling hazard-
ous waste.
II The service life of the CARBTROL® canister will vary accord-
ing to application and concentration of contaminant to be
removed. CARBTROL® Corporation can provide an esti-
mate of expected service life upon review of proposed oper-
ating conditions. (Listing of typical compounds removed by
CARBTROL on back page.)
CARBTROL options:
II Custom activated carbon and synthetic adsorption media can
be provided, including:
■ Potassium Hydroxide Impregnated Carbon
• Phosphoric Acid Impregnated Carbon
• Molecular Sieve
■ Silica Gel
■ And others depending on the contaminants to
be removed.

Samples for Toluene, Benzene, Ethlybenzene, Organics, and. Lead should be collected at the same time as the whole effluent toxicity sample.
*** See Part III, Condition E.
**** All volumes of wastewater leaving the facility must be monitored. If continuous monitoring is not feasible, then discharger shall record
the approximate times that discharge began and ended, along with the instantaneous flow at the time of effluent sampling.
The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9,0 standard units and shall be monitored 2/month by grab sample at the
effluent.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

Part 111 Permit No, NCIt 79,
D. Chronic Toxicity Testing Requirement
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity tests,
using test procedures outlined in:
L) 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 99% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from issuance of this
permit during the rnonths of January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing
shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C, 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be reopened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS,
1. Permit jssuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
.. pM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health
and Natural Resources.
3. Lac
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean. Water Act, as amended,
33 USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily
discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found
by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this
sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as
"Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged.
during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight
of pollutant calculated from it is ;the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is
identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
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.
Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum
of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average
monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for
samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" under "Other Units" 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 Units" in Part I of the permit.
c, The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration
of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified
as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Units''' in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average
yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples
collected during a calendar year.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable
amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge
averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a
calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the
discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.

Part II
Page 3 of 14
The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a
calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I
of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.
7. Other Masurernents
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows
recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of
sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility
which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the
facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when
there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8, Types of 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
flaw 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.
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.

Part 11
Page 4 of 14
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the
product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values.
The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms
of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of
zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective
flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that
reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant
to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water
Act.

Page 8 of 14
2. Proper Operation and Mainte ance
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.
3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
condition of this permit.
f Treatrrtent E
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 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.
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 perrnittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass
as required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24-hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(l) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action
against a perrnittee for bypass, unless:
(a) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe
property damage;

Part II
Page 9 of 14
(h) 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 permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph 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.
b.
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.
Affect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for
noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the
requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during
administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an
action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence
that:
(a) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(b) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(c) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. h. (b) (B) of
this permit.
(d) 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 pet nittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an
upset has the burden of proof.

Part II

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 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 regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40
CFR Part 503, any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the 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

Dear Mr. Gleason:
This letter serves as the written report required by the Ge eral Discharge Pei it for the
unanticipated bypass of water that exceeded the TSS permit limit of 30 milligrams per liter.
(rng/I) < The result reported on the March 26, 1999 analytical. report indicated a result of 36
mg/kg). On March 30, 1999,1 contacted you via telephone to inform you of this result.
The groundwater remediation system was not operational for approximately 2 to 3 weeks due
to repairs. The system was restarted and sampled within a couple of weeks, which could have
caused an increased total suspended solids result. 1 have inclosed a copy of the analytical results
for your review.
If you have any questions or require any additional infortnation or actions, please contact Victor
