The entrance to the Catawba Country Club is on the left (south) side of SR 1144. 6. Discharge Point(s), list for all discharge points: - Latitude: 35 ° 39' 08" Longitude: 81 ° 18' 13" Attach a USGS Map Extract and indicate treatment plant site and discharge point on map. USGS Quad. No.: E 1.3 NE 7. Site size and expansion area consistent with application: Yes. Topography (relationship to flood plain included): The WWTP site is gently rolling with 2-4% slopes. The WTP site may be in the 100 year flood plain, however, the treatment units are elevated, which would minimize any effect from flooding. Page Two 9. Location of nearest dwelling: Approx. 1000 feet from the WWTP site. 10. Receiving stream or affected surface waters: Unnamed Tributary to the Henry Fork River a. Classification: C b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Catawba 030835 c. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: The stream channel is well defined with the following dimensions: 3-4 feet wide and 1-3 inches deep. Uses are primarily for secondary recreation and other Class C uses. PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS a. Volume of Wastewater: 0.0075 MGD (Design Capacity) b. What is the current permitted capacity: 0.0075 MGD c. Actual treatment capacity of current facility (current design capacity): 0.0075 MGD d. Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous ATCs issued in the previous two years: There have been no ATCs issued in the past two years (see (f) below). e. Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: The existing WWT facilities consist of a septic tank followed by a recirculating above ground sand filter with a recirculation tank, tablet disinfection with a separate precast concrete tank used as a contact chamber, and post aeration (diffused). There is also a grease trap on the influent side of the system, which collects grease from the kitchen area. g. Description of proposed WWT facilities: There are no proposed WWT facilities at this time, however, a residual chlorine limit will be imposed in the permit upon renewal. This will require the permittee to install dechlorination in order to comply. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: Chlorine is presently added to the waste stream. h. Pretreatment Program (PGTWs only): N/A 2. Residual handling and utilization/disposal scheme: Residuals are removed as needed by Asbury's Pumping Service and final disposal is at the City of Newton's POTW. Treatment plant classification: Class 1 (There has been no change in the rating from the previous Permit renewal). Page Three 4. SIC Code(s): 4952 Wastewater Code(s): 13 MTU Code(s): 45007 PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION 2. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant Funds or are any public monies involved (municipals only)? Public monies were not used in the construction of this WWT facility, Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: None at this time. Important SOC/JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: This facility is neither under an SOC nor is one being considered at this time. 4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation a. Spray Irrigation: The permittee has considered reusing the wastewater in the Country Club's existing golf course irrigation system, however, no action has been taken to -date. If this option ever materializes, the existing NPDES permit will need to be reissued as a conjunctive permit. b. Connect to regional sewer system: A City of Hickory sewer line exists in the general area of this facility, however, it is currently not economically feasible for the Club to connect at this time. c. Subsurface: Insufficient area available in the immediate vicinity of the WWT facility. PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The permittee requests renewal of the subject Permit for the discharge of domestic wastewater from WWT facilities serving the Catawba Country Club. There have been no changes to the Permit and/or the WWTP since the Permit was last renewed. Proposed changes during the term of the renewed permit include the installation of dechlorination facilities in order to comply with the residual chlorine limit to be included in the permit upon renewal. The permittee continues to have an interest in possibly reusing part or all of the effluent produced by this facility, especially during the summer months when irrigation of the golf course is necessary. This reuse water would augment the water currently available in the Club's existing irrigation pond for use on the golf course. Club management plans to examine the possibility of a conversion to partial reuse, which may result in a change to the current permit at some time in the future (possible conjunctive permit).

Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Po on Control. Act, also known as the Clean ,-ate r Act, as amended, 33 USC 1231, et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass 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. The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next thy. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Quartet One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through. December. C mposite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: 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 (3) Variable time/constant volume: 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 preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (4) Constant tine/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volumecollected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than la) milliliters. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. Version 6v20/2003 NPDES Permit Requirements Page 2 of 16 In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour, Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more 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 intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that- are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs 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, Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sanapiing Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).

Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Mays/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 sarnpled 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 1 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 1 of the permit. Part II Page 2 of 14 6. Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in. the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under '''Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. If only one 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. g. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Part II Page 3 of 14 7. Other Measurements a. Row, (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 rnay be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Types of Samples a. Cornposite 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. Calculatior of Mean 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. Cal ridar 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.

Part II Page 8 of 14 3. Need to Halt Qr 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 Treatrnent 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 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 (I) 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 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. Part II Page 9 of 14 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 II, 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. Rernoved 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 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 Failurz 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 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.

Spray Irrigation: The permittee has expressed an interest in possibly reusing the wastewater in the Country Club's existing golf course irrigation system. If this option becomes available, consideration should be given to converting the existing NPI)ES permit into a conjunctive permit.. b. Connect to regional sewer system: A City of Hickory sewer line exists in the general area of this faci.l.ity, however, it is currently not economically .feasible to mandate the Club connect at this time c. Subsurface: insufficient area available. PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The permittee requests renewal of the subject Permit for the discharge of domestic wastewater from WWT facilities serving the Catawba Country Club. There have been no changes to the Permit and/or the WWTP since the Permit was last renewed nor are any proposed during this renewal, Interest has been expressed, however, by the permittee in possibly reusing part or all of the effluent produced by this facility, especially during the summer months when irrigation of the golf course is necessary. This reuse water would augment the water currently available in the Club's existing irrigation pond for use on the golf course. Club management plans to examine the possibility of a conversion to partial reuse, which may result in a change to the current permit at some time in the future (possible conjunctive permit). Pending receipt and approval of the WLA, it is recommended that the Permit be renewed as requested.

Thanks for submitting this package in a timely fashion. Um sorry to inform you that the NPDES Unit currently has several vacant positions, and has not been fully staffed for over a year. This staff shortage is delaying all of our permit renewals. Our remaining staff are currently reviewing Authorizations to Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit modifications and 201 plans ahead of permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in the statutes which govern our program. If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NC0050920, the existing requirements in that permit will remain in effect until the permit is renewed (or other action is taken by the Division). We appreciate your patience and understanding as we operate with a depleted staff. If you have any questions about your permit (or the permit renewal process in general), simply reply to this e-mail.

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 cif 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. Conc titration Measuremnt a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal colif©rtn 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. 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. f. 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. Part II Page 3 of 14 7. Other Measurementa 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 W ill be representative of the total discharge. c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Types of Samples a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of: (1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow. In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab 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. Calculation of Means a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1). Part II Page 4 of 14 c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 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 3C17(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. SECTION B. GENERAL CQNDIT`IONS 1.

Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. The permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and any grade to comply with the conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class 1 facility at least weekly and each Class II, 111, and IV facility at least daily, excluding weekends and holidays, and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A .0202. Once the facility is classified, the permittee shall submit a letter to the Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible charge within thirty days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50% complete. Part II Page 8 of 14 r tipn and Maintenance The perrnittee 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 perrnittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. 3. Need to Halt or Reduce rXpt 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 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. 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 perrnittee 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 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. Upset 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 II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit. (4) Thepermittee 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 5 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 10 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 Perrnit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices. 7. Power Failure, 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 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 ILIDNIlQ AND RECORDS. 1. Representative Sampling Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period which the sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in this permit 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.

Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended. 33 USC 1251., et. seq. M1ass, 3v 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 surn 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 Pan 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 vear. 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 Il Page 2 of 14 6, Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month, This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part 1 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 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 andlor 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 Pan 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. f 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 followina distinct periods: January through March. April through June, July through September, and October through December. g. Part II Page 3 of 14 7. her Measurements 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. Types of Samples a. Composite Sarnple: 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 (3l a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow �In ccordance 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 oaf 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. Fot purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1). Part II Page 4 of 14 c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 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) ofthe Clean Water Act. SECTION 13, GENERAL. C©;" DITI©NS 1. Dut toComply The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Clean !Water Act and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application. a. The permittee 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 S25,000 per day for each violation. Any person who negligently violates any permit condition is subject to criminal penalties of S2,500 to S25,000 per day of violation, or imprisonment for not more than 1 year, or both,. Any person who knowingly violates permit conditions is subject to criminal penalties of $5,000 to S50,000 per day of violation, or imprisonment for not more than 3 years, or both. Also, any person who violates a permit condition may be assessed an administrative penalty not to exceed 510,000 per violation with the maximum amount not to exceed S125,000.

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 919 North Main Street, Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 Telephone 704-663-1699 FAX 704-663-6040 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper Fir:Ir.Terry Conley Page Two March 23, 1994 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.

There are no sludge handling treatment units on -site, nor is the sludge discharged to the receiving waters. HydroLogic, Inc. contracts the pumping of excess solids as indicated by the increasing MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids). The Operator in Responsible Charge or on -site operator makes this assessment based on MLSS lab results. As the MLSS increases beyond the recommended concentration, solids are wasted from the activated sludge system. The contract hauler takes the waste activated sludge to a local municipality which accepts such or to another wastewater facility which has experienced an upset and is in need of reseeding. Should you have any questions regarding the pumping a disposal of sludge for this facility, please contact: HydroLogic, Inc. at 704-254-5169.

REPORTING RE UIREMENTS 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 Part II Page 7 of 14 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. Anticipated Noncompliance The permittee shall give notice to the Permit Issuing Authority of any planned change in the permitted facility or activity which may result in noncompliance with permit requirements, Any maintenance of facilities, which might necessitate unavoidable interruption of operation and degradation of effluent quality, shall be scheduled during noncritical water quality periods and carried out in a manner approved by the Permit Issuing Authority. Transfer of Ownership ©a Contra, This permit is not transferable: In the event of any change in name, control or ownership offacilitiesfrom which the authorized discharge emanates or is contemplated, the permittee shall notify the prospective owner or controller by letter of the existence of this permit and of the need to obtain a permit in the name of the prospective owner. A copy of the letter shall be forwarded to the Division of Environmental Management. 4. 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 is required in the DMR.. 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. 5. Averaging of Measurements Calculations for limitations which require averaging of measurements shall utilize an arithmetic mean unless otherwise specified by the Permit Issuing Authority in the permit. 6. Noncom aliance Notification The permittee shall report by telephone to either the central office or the appropriate regional office of the Division as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following: Part II Page 8 of 14 a.

Environmental Management, Department of Natural Resources and Community Development. Part II Page 11 of 14 EMC: 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 sample and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Daily Average" or "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday -Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sample and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in. Part I of the permit. Part I1 Page 12 of 14 6. Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges samples and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" or "Daily Average" under "Other. Limits" in Part I of the permit: b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily concentration"' is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. da 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 measureddivided 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. Part II Page 13 of 14 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. 8. Types of Samples a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge period of 24 hours or less. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. 9. CalculationCaiculatiori 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 I1 Page 14 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. 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. PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS A.

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. 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 9R9 North Main Street, P.O, Rca4, 950, Mooresville, N.C. 2810.5-0950 • Telephone 704-663- An Equal Opportunity Altint atuvc Aaiun Employer Mr. Douglas Bostick Page Two February 13, 1989 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. 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 704/663-1699 in Mooresville if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing any assistance. Sincerely, D.

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 caliform 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 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. Thee 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: g• 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. 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.

Concerning the Sand Filters low rate, Statesville Analytical has installed a splitter wall based on the recommendation of the inspector. After speaking with Statesville Analytical they feel the problem stated in the report was due to the fact the a blower had gone out and had to be replaced three days prior to the inspection which would have created the "appearance" of inadequate treatment or the odor. They will monitor this closely. I would like to note that under this same category it is noted "no" on audible alarrn being present and operational. As noted under the Septic Tank section, the same electrician that did our rewiring also installed a new alarm as well, which was in operating order during the inspection as it is now, Lastly, Statesville Analytical is sending me the DMR's for correction and they will be signed and sent directly to you. This should cover all inadequacies noted, however, please feel free to contact me if not. 1 would also like to note that we have received permission from the city of Hickory to connect to their sewer system as soon as the current pump station they are constructing is complete. It is scheduled for late this fall. We have already contracted an engineering firm for the project and the preliminary surveys have been taken. Best regards, 1 R.

Compliance Performance: The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) regulates the Catawba Country Club's effluent discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The NCDENR issued to Catawba Country Club a NPDES Permit that includes water quality limits and sampling and monitoring requirements. The NPDES permits requires Catawba Country Club to test for routine wastewater parameters of the treated water leaving the wastewater facility. The monitoring frequency for these tests is set at various intervals as set forth in the permit. During the period at which Statesville Analytical was responsible for the plant operations for the 2003-year a total of tests were conducted. These tests were performed on the treated wastewater as it was discharged to the creek. The WWTP achieved a Compliance level of 100% with its NPDES Permit Requirements. The following table is a summary of the testing for the parameters that are assigned Water quality Standards by the NPDES Permit.

Please review the draft very carefully so that you thoroughly understand the conditions and requirements it contains. Your permit is among several in the Catawba River basin the Division has targeted for expedited renewal.. No major changes have taken place to the Division's management strategy for the Catawba. River. The Division can therefore expedite renewal of permits in the Catawba River basin whose operations have not changed since the last permit renewal, and whose compliance records are in good standing. This draft permit contains two (2) substantial changes from the existing permit: ';•- As required by the Code of Federal Regulations and based on comments from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Division was required to implement daily maximum ammonia (NH3-N) limits for wastewater treatment facilities. This implementation policy was adopted on October 15, 2002. The daily maximum limit is five times the monthly average value (this multiplier was established based on a review of treatment capability at various wastewater plants). As a result, this permit includes both monthly average and daily maximum limits for NH3-N. A Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) limit has been added to this permit. Because you may need time to make modifications to your plant in order to comply with this new condition, the TRC limit will not take effect until eighteen (18) months after the effective date of the final permit. Please refer to the enclosed TRC policy memo for details. Submit any written comments to me at the letterhead address no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft pen -nit. If the Division does not receive any adverse comments from either you or the public within this designated time, our office will likely issue the final permit in early April, with an effective date ofMay 1, 2005. If you have any questions concerning this draft permit, contact m.e at (919) 733-5083,, extension 532 or via email at "Vanessa.Manuet@nemail.ner Sincerely, Vanessa E.

Goodrich NPDES Unit Supervisor June 19, 2003 SUBJECT: Total Residual Chlorine Policy for NPDES permits Every three years the State is required by the Clean Water Act to review its surface .water quality standards and classifications, determine if changes are needed and to make any necessary changes. This review process is referred as the "triennial review." Public hearings were held to solicit comments for the 2000-2003 Triennial Review of surface water quality standards during the summer of 2002. The Hearing Officer's recommendations were presented 'before the state's Environmental Management Commission on October 10, 2002. The Hearing Officer's recommended changes included modifications to the existing standards for Arsenic, Cyanide, Methylene Blue Active Substances (MBAS) and Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). The Heating Officer also recommended the addition of a standard for Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether All of the Hearing Officer's proposed changes were adopted with the exception of mTBE.. The changes took effect on April 1, 2003. This memo documents the changes to the NPDES permitting policy for TRC limits. Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) Previously, TRC had an Action Level Standard, except in designated 'frout waters The Triennial Review changes modified the TRC Action Level Standard to an Aquatic Life Standard of 17 ilg/le. The Aquatic Life Standard will remain for designated Trout waters. Aquatic Life Standard - 17 itg/L (freshwater only) Trout Waters - 17 pg/L Revised TRC Policy TRC limits will be assigned to permit renewals and all new pen -nits issued after April 1, 2003. Facilities that do not use chlorine will not receive a TRC limit; however, the presence of a chlorine hack -up system to augment UV or other disinfection requires a TRC limit. Facilities discharging to streams with a 7Q10 <0.05 cfs (zero -flow streams) will receive a limit of 17 ,itg/L. Limits will be capped at 28 lig/L to protect against acute impacts. It is likely that many facilities will need to add dechlorination (or use another means of disinfection) to comply with the new TRC standard. Therefore, a compliance schedule of 18 months from the effective date of the permit rna.y be added to any TRC limit added during the current permit renewal. This time period is allowed in order for the facility to budget and design/construct the dechiorination and/or alternative disinfection mtem(s). The NPDES Unit has promulgated minimum design criteriain order to expedite permitting of dechlorination equipment. cc: Coleen Sullins Regional Office Supervisors Shannon Langley .chlorination guidance artached) DEP Permit NC0050920 STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA TENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY PERMIT TO (DISCHARGE WASTEWATER UNDER THE NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM.

PERMIT: The permit authorizes for the continued operation of an existing 0.0075 MGD wastewater treatment facility consisting of a grease trap, septic tank, dosing tank with two 130 gprn pumps, recirculating sand filter, flow splitter box, chlorine contact tank with tablet chlorinator, and post aeration. The permit adequately describes the WWTP. The permit for this facility became effective on 11/1/00 and expires on 7/31/05. RECORDS AND REPORTS: The Operator -in -Responsible Charge(ORC) visitation log, daily operation and maintenance log, and the calibration log were reviewed during the inspection. A calibration log for the dissolved oxygen (DO) meter was not kept as required by the NPDES Permit. The remaining records and reports were organized and well maintained. FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE: The facility began operation under a new contract operational firm in late October 2001. The facility appeared to be well operated; however, structural problems were observed at the time of the inspection. Leakages were observed at the wall adjacent to the flow splitter box and also around the flow splitter box. The source of the leakage around the flow splitter box could not be determined; however, the flow splitter box was severely rusted and deteriorated. In addition, the flow splitter box did not appear to be operating properly. The integrity and operation of the splitter box should he verified and replaced if needed. At one of the corners of the sandfilter, the gravel was bound with leaves, organic material, etc. and the gravel was stained due to ponding or a possible leakage in the distribution lines. Stormwater appears to flow and accumulate at this corner. The gravel shall be leveled and a determination of a possible leakage in the distribution line shall be determined. The ORC and staff should remove the accumulation of leaves during the fall to prevent ponding on the filter bed. Please be advised that the NPDES Permit requires that the facility he properly operated and maintained at all times. The surrounding grounds were well maintained. Marginal vegetation was observed in the filter bed. This office commends the efforts of the permittee and the new operational staff for the corrective actions that have been currently performed at this facility. The back-up ORCs were very knowledgeable of the treatment processes and equipment used at the facility. The facility is staffed with one Grade Il ORC.. Certified back-up operators have been designated and are available when the ORC is unable to visit the facility. LABORATORY: Statesville Analytical (Certification #440) in Statesville, N.C. has been contracted to provide analytical support. The laboratory was not evaluated during this inspection. The DO and TRC meters and theini ete appeared to have been properly calibrated. Catawba Country Club WVVTP Page Three LABORATORY cont'd: The calibration data revealed a variance of 0.2 - 0.3 for both the 4.0 and 10.0 buffers and the check standard (7.0). The ORC and staff utilize a correction factor due to the inability of the pH meter to be properly calibrated. A correction factor is not allowed for pH analysis. The manufacturer of the pH meter should be contacted regarding the repair or replacement of the meter. In addition, the ORC and staff should view the Division's Laboratory Certification Unit's website that contains the technical guidance for field parameter testing (including proper instrument calibration and appropriate documentation) at wwesb.enr.state.nc.us/labifield parmguide.htm. Mr. Chet Whiting with the Division's Laboratory Certification Unit can be contacted at 704-663-1699 ext. 297 for additional guidance. EFFLUENT/RECEIVING STREAM: The facility was not discharging at the time of the inspection. The facility discharges into an unnamed tributary to Henry Fork River, which is a Class C water in the Catawba River Basin. The receiving stream did not appear to be negatively impacted. The outfall was accessible and well maintained. A review of the DMRs have indicated numerous TRC values in excess of 28ktg/1. Be aware that a stream action level of 17 yet has been established for total residual chlorine for chronic toxicity effects. An action level of 28 4g/I has been set as the maximurn allowable effluent concentration to protect the receiving stream against acute toxicity effects. Please maintain the total residual chlorine concentration as low as possible, while still complying with fecal coliform limits. SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM: The facility began utilizing a new contract operational firm in late October 2001. Self - monitoring reports were reviewed for the period April 2001 through December 2001, inclusive. No limit violations were reported. The same upstream and downstream times were reported for July 2001. The required 10 days between the collection of samples was not adhered to for BOD, ammonia, TSR. and fecal coliform in August 2001. Only one TRC value was reported for the week of September 30 through October 6, 2001. Only one set of values were reported for BOD, TSR, fecal coliform, and ammonia for October 2001. The June 2001 DMR was not signed by the permittee and the compliance status was not designated for June and November 2001. The flow reported on 10/18/01 appeared to be a transcription error (0.05 MGD). The permittee and ORC should insure that all DMRs are accurate and complete before submittal to the Division. Please resubmit amended DMRs if any of the above noted discrepancies were inadvertent errors. All on -site parameters appeared to have been collected and analyzed within the required holding times. FLOW MEASUREMENT: Instantaneous flow is currently measured by multiplying the pump run time by the volume of effluent pumped. Catawba Country Club WWTP Page Four SLUDGE DISPOSAL: Septage is removed as needed by M & K. Septic Tank Pumping of Hickory, N.C. and disposed at an approved land application site in Catawba County. SEWER OVERFLOW: Please be advised that pursuant to Part 11. Section E of your NPDES permit, and North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system, pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion of the wastewater shall be reported to the central office or the appropriate regional office (Mooresville Regional Office 704-663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the permittee became aware of the bypass. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours may also be reported to the Division's Emergency Response personnel at 800-662-7956, 800-858- 0368, or 919-733-3300. A written report shall also be provided within five (5) days of the time of the incident. The report shall contain a description of the bypass, and its cause; the period of the bypass, including exact dates and times, and if the bypass has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken (or planned) to reduce, eliminate. and prevent recurrence of the similar events. Any spill that reaches surface waters (i.e. any spill that reaches any water already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill greater than 1,000 gallons on the ground that does not reach surface waters must be reported. An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a fish kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen and pH mea-surements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH measurements at multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact. Failure to report the bypass of collection system, pumping station or treatment facility subjects violators to penalties of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation.

The discharge from the Catawba Country Club wastewater facility is received into an unnamed tributary to the Henry Fork River, classified. C waters in the Catawba River Basin. Compliance Performance: The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) regulates the Catawba Country Club's effluent discharge under the National pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), The NCDENR issued to Catawba Country Club a NPDES Permit that includes water quality limits and sampling and monitoring requirements. The NPDES permits requires Catawba Country Club to test for routine wastewater parameters of the treated water leaving the wastewater facility. The monitoring frequency for these tests is set at various intervals as set forth in the permit. During the period at which Statesville Analytical was responsible for the plant operations for the 2001.. year a total of 70 tests were conducted. These tests were performed on the treated wastewater as it was discharged to the creek. The WWTP achieved a Compliance level of 100% with its. NPDES Permit. Requirements.

Water Quality Regional Supervisor NCDENR 919 North Main Street Mooresville, NC 28115 Subject; Response to Inspection Catawba Country Club WWTP NPDES Permit # NC0050920 Catawba County, NC Dear Mrason; STATESVILLE ANAYn This letter is in response to a Compliance Inspection Report for the inspection conducted at Catawba Country Club on March 14, 2002 by Wes Bell. This facility is owned by the Catawba Country Club and is operated by Statesville Analytical, Inc. Mr, Greg Steller with Catawba Country Club asked that Statesville Analytical, Inc, write the response letter. Under the Records/Reports section of the inspection report it was noticed that a Dissolved Oxygen calibration log was not maintained, This log has now been entered into use and a copy of the form is enclosed, In the Facility Site Review/Operations & Maintenance section of the inspection report leaks were observed at the flow splitter box and at the wall adjacent to the flow splitter box, Mr. Steller has authorized the replacement of the flow splitter box and repair of the wall around the sand filter box. We are in the process of obtaining prices for these repairs and will complete them as soon as possible. We have removed leaves and weeds form the filter bed and will continue to perform regular maintenance within the filter bed, During the splitter' box replacement we will dig around the pipes in the filter bed and check for leaks where staining was observed. The section of the inspection report entitled Self -Monitoring noted several reporting deficiencies on the Demand Monitoring Reports for this facility. Statesville Analytical Inc. began operations of this facility on October 24, 2001, Data prior to this date is not available to our personnel.. However, there were two deficiencies, which we can address. It was noted that the November 2001 DMR did not show compliance status of the plant.. An amended DMR showing compliance is being sent and a copy is P.O, Box 228 • Statesville., North Carolina enclosed, _ n assuming operations in f o r Statesville lyti l discovered that both influent and e uent pumps were inoperative as well as both blowers. The plant had to be pumped and the st hauled the remainder f October the first week in November. This was done to allow for repairs to the blowers and for the pumps to be replaced, therefore no samples were pulled dud g this time, The waste was pumped by Septic Tank and a a.pi f Hickory, NC and is disposed fat an approved land application site in Catawba County.
