Briefly describe the proposed permitting action and facility background: Stonetown Berkley Oaks, LLC
requested renewal of permit NC0062278 for its Berkley Oaks WWTP in Gaston County. This a privately-
owned treatment system treating 100% domestic wastewater <1.0 MGD. The facility serves a mobile home park
with 125 residences for 250 to 300 people. The collection system is a separate sanitary sewer. Recently a
change of ownership from Berkley Oaks, LLC to Stonetown Berkley Oaks, LLC was processed.

Attachment B: Ron Berry Fact Sheet 20110712 3p
“Based on the most recent information obtained, the Gastonia WWTP regional system main service
line is approximately 2,200 feet from this outfall. Future plans for connecting to the regional system is
unknown. The unnamed tributary provides little flow and is considered to be zero flow for evaluation
purposes”
“The permittee did upon request provide the location of the Gastonia WWTP regional sewer line but
did not make any comments on future plans to connect. Consequently, in the draft the existing permit
Special Condition A. (2.) was removed and a recommendation was made in the draft cover letter for the
Permittee to continue to pursue connecting to Gastonia. Also, per the regions request inserted in the
draft cover letter a commentary on extending the outfall pipe. The extension possibility was initiated
during the region 2010 inspection visit. The feasibility of extending the line is unknown.”
“During the comment period the region reviewed the draft permit and has recommended a special
condition requirement be added that requires the Permittee to investigate connecting to the Gastonia
Regional System. The July 2011 settlement agreement requires equipment improvements over the next
6 months to resolve past compliance issue but does not impose any actions to pursue connecting to
Gastonia. The connection to the Gastonia Regional System would be a future step to eliminate this
discharge and may become even more valid if compliance issues persist. To allow the Permittee to
focus his resources in a timely manner, the special condition for the Gastonia Regional System
connection will be an initial investigation followed by a report to the Mooresville Regional Office, not
required any major engineering or a final design, and have a due date of January 1, 2013.”
Condition A. (2.) for a regional sewer connection investigation was included in the previous version of this
permit. To our knowledge no information was reported to the Mooresville Regional by March 31, 2016 by
previous owners of this facility. This condition will be renewed with a deadline of August 31, 2021 (4 years
from the permit expiration).

MA = Monthly Average, WA = Weekly Average, DM = Daily Maximum, DA = Daily Average
4. Instream Data Summary
Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example: 1) to verify model predictions when
model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/l of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to verify model
predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future TMDL; 4) based on other instream concerns.
Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also Monitoring Coalitions established in
several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in which case instream monitoring is waived in
the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained).
Page 5 of 10
If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will be proposed for this permit
action: For instream data summary see table in Fact Sheet Section 3.
Attachment B: Ron Berry Fact Sheet 20110712: “Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen are
measured routinely at designated points upstream and downstream from the discharge into the
unnamed tributary. Because of the small steam flow, this effluent had a positive impact as it
consistently added dissolved oxygen and sustain the dissolved oxygen level above the water
quality standard downstream. However, the increasing effluent ammonia and BOD levels will
offset some of these gains. Will continue instream monitoring program at same locations.”
Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (Y/N): No.
Name of Monitoring Coalition: NA.
5. Compliance Summary
Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): One NOV for weekly BOD in
Aug2020, three NODs for weekly DO from May2018 to Jun2018. [See Attachment C_NC0062278_Monitoring
Report Violations_Apr2016_Mar2021_11p]
Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results (past 5
years): NA.
Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: See Attachment
D_NC0062278_Inspection_20200206_9p.
6. Water Quality-Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs)
Dilution and Mixing Zones
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0206, the following streamflows are used for dilution considerations for
development of WQBELs: 1Q10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic Life;
non-carcinogen HH); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH).
If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMIX model results): NA.
If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0204(b): NA.
Oxygen-Consuming Waste Limitations
Limitations for oxygen-consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to ensure
protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits (e.g., BOD=
30 mg/l for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and model results.
If permit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed: Zero flow (7Q10/30Q2)
conditions. See NPDES files for details. See 15A NCAC 02B .0206.
Page 6 of 10
Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations
Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of 1.0
mg/l (summer) and 1.8 mg/l (winter). Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria, utilizing a
multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non-Municipals.
Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection of
aquatic life (17 ug/l) and capped at 28 ug/l (acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values reported
below 50 ug/l are considered compliant with their permit limit.
Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: NA.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants
NA.
Toxicity Testing Limitations
Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in
accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits issued
to Major facilities or any facility discharging “complex” wastewater (contains anything other than domestic
waste) will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements, with several exceptions. The State has
received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in NPDES permits, using single
concentration screening tests, with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test failure.
Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: No changes. WET testing is not required. This is a minor facility
with ammonia limits.
Mercury Statewide TMDL Evaluation
There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply with
EPA’s mercury fish tissue criteria (0.3 mg/kg) for human health protection. The TMDL established a wasteload
allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year (81 lb/year), and is applicable to municipals and industrial facilities
with known mercury discharges. Given the small contribution of mercury from point sources (~2% of total
load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MMPs) for point source control. Municipal facilities
> 2 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury (>1 ng/l) will receive an MMP requirement.
Industrials are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, depending if mercury is a pollutant of concern. Effluent limits
may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed the WQBEL value (based on the NC WQS
of 12 ng/l) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL value of 47 ng/l
Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: No required. No changes.
Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations
If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation within this
permit:
Lake Wylie TMDL - Nitrogen, Phosphorus: Discharges to Crowder Creek (>1 MGD). By 2001, all
facilities must meet limits of 1 mg/l (TP) and 6 mg/l (TN – summer only). Since Berkley Oaks WWTP
Page 7 of 10
is <1 MGD the 1995 TMDL strategy is not applicable. [Lake Wylie TMDL 1995 Catawba River
Basinwide Water Quality Management Plan,
https://files.nc.gov/ncdeq/Water%20Quality/Planning/TMDL/FINAL%20TMDLS/Catawba/Lake%20
Wylie%20TMDL%20from%2095BasinPlan.pdf
Crowders Creek Fecal Coliform TMDL - Fecal Coliform: Berkley Oaks WWTP is listed was additional
point sources discharging domestic waste. Along with CWS Saddlewood WWTP (NC0060755), Ridge
Community WWTP (NC0069175), and Pines Mobile Home Park (NC007499), the permitted capacity
totals approximately 0.07 MGD. [NC DENR DWR, Total Maximum Daily Load for Fecal Coliform for

reekFecalFinalTMDL.pdf
Other WQBEL Considerations
If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: NA.
If applicable, describe any special actions (HQW or ORW) this receiving stream and classification shall comply
with in order to protect the designated waterbody: NA.
If applicable, describe any compliance schedules proposed for this permit renewal in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0107(c)(2)(B), 40CFR 122.47, and EPA May 2007 Memo: NA.
If applicable, describe any water quality standards variances proposed in accordance with NCGS 143-215.3(e)
and 15A NCAC 2B.0226 for this permit renewal: NA.
7. Technology-Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs)
NA.
8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge):
The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not
degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation review in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit must document an
effort to consider non-discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.0105( c)(2). In all cases, existing instream
water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is maintained and protected.
If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives
Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: NA.
9. Antibacksliding Review:
Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(l) prohibit backsliding
of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a reissued permit to
be as stringent as those in the previous permit, with some exceptions where limitations may be relaxed (e.g.,
based on new information, increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL limits, or WQBELs may be
less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution).
Page 8 of 10
Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit (YES/NO): NO.
If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated: NA.
10. Monitoring Requirements
Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following regulations and
guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 2B.0500; 2) NPDES Guidance,
Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances (7/15/2010 Memo); 3) NPDES Guidance, Reduced Monitoring
Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance (10/22/2012 Memo); 4) Best Professional Judgement
(BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not considered effluent limitations
under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti-backsliding prohibitions would not be triggered
by reductions in monitoring frequencies.
For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4.
11. Electronic Reporting Requirements
The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21, 2015. Effective December 21,
2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) electronically.
Effective December 21, 2020, NPDES regulated facilities will be required to submit additional NPDES reports
electronically. This permit contains the requirements for electronic reporting, consistent with Federal
requirements.

Subject: Requesting Renewal of NPDES permit#NC0062278 and Approval of Sludge
Management Plan for the Berkley Oaks Wastewater Treatment Facility located in Gaston
County,North Carolina
Dear Wren Thedford,
This correspondence is intended to serve as the required cover letter requesting renewal of the above
referenced discharge permit.To my knowledge,the only change to this facility since the issuance of its
current permit,was the addition of a concrete stand-alone sludge holding/dewatering tank that was
necessary following the collapse of an interior wall that provided same.It has been seen by recent inspectors
and is functioning as intended.
Sludge management Plan
The sludge from this facility is created from 100%domestic sewerage. Routine settled sludge volumes and as
needed mixed liquor concentrations are the primary tools the operator employs to determine sludge wasting
rates.A quiescent environment is periodically created in the aerated sludge storage tank and water is
manually removed with an electric pump in an effort to thicken same for disposal.The decanted liquid is
returned to the aeration basin.Ultimate offsite disposal is determined to be necessary when the operator can
no long dewater the waste sludge any further.This waste,dewater,disposal cycle is typically every 3 to 4
months.
Please find herewith attached the completed renewal application by Metwater,Inc.on behalf of our client.
Thank you for your patience with regards to this matter. If you should have any question or need additional
information or clarification,please don't hesitate to call.
Sincere

BACKGROUND
Berkley Oaks LLC operates its own package domestic wastewater treatment for the Berkley
Oaks MHP. The treated wastewater is discharged into an unnamed tributary into McGill Branch
a class C stream, part of the Catawba River Basin. Based on the most recent information
obtained, the Gastonia WWTP regional system main service line is approximately 2,200 feet
from this outfall. Future plans for connecting to the regional system is unknown. The unnamed
tributary provides little flow and is considered to be zero flow for evaluation purposes.
Untreated domestic wastewater is introduced to the plant headworks where it’s screened, then
flows to the package plant aerator basin, and then flows to a clarifier. The clarified wastewater
enters the tablet chlorinator, continues through the effluent meter, exits the package plant, and
then flows through a tablet de-chlorinator. The treated waste water exits the de-chlorinator and
discharges trough the outfall to the unnamed tributary. A composite sampler collects effluent
samples. Sludge is intermittently removed to a sludge digestor for storage. A certified contract
service is used to remove and dispose of the accumulated sludge.
COMPLIANCE HISTORY
A review of October 2005 to current compliance performance, shows this facility has reoccurring
violations of BOD (22 violations) and Ammonia as nitrogen (23 violations) effluent limits, both
the daily maximum and the monthly average maximum. The DMR data shows a trend towards
increasing violations for BOD and Ammonia as nitrogen. Prior to October 2007 there were TRC
violations but none since. Enforcement was administered as deemed appropriate.
A settlement agreement was signed on 6/14/11 with milestone corrective actions to complete
specific equipment improvements. The terms of the agreement require completion of equipment

improvements by December 31, 2011 and demonstrate compliance. Upon completion of all
agreement terms to the Division satisfaction the civil penalty balance will be reduced to
$2,713.26.
PERMITTING STRATEGY
No changes to the effluent limits or monitoring requirements were needed other than amending
the TRC footnote narrative. The permittee did upon request provide the location of the Gastonia
WWTP regional sewer line but did not make any comments on future plans to connect.
Consequently, in the draft the existing permit Special Condition A. (2.) was removed and a
recommendation was made in the draft cover letter for the Permittee to continue to pursue
connecting to Gastonia. Also, per the regions request inserted in the draft cover letter a
commentary on extending the outfall pipe. The extension possibility was initiated during the
region 2010 inspection visit. The feasibility of extending the line is unknown.
During the comment period the region reviewed the draft permit and has recommended a special
condition requirement be added that requires the Permittee to investigate connecting to the
Gastonia Regional System. The July 2011 settlement agreement requires equipment
improvements over the next 6 months to resolve past compliance issue but does not impose any
actions to pursue connecting to Gastonia. The connection to the Gastonia Regional System
would be a future step to eliminate this discharge and may become even more valid if
compliance issues persist. To allow the Permittee to focus his resources in a timely manner, the
special condition for the Gastonia Regional System connection will be an initial investigation
followed by a report to the Mooresville Regional Office, not required any major engineering or a
final design, and have a due date of January 1, 2013.
This facility currently has no WET toxicity requirements as it is a minor discharge and has been
assigned ammonia as nitrogen limits. The ammonia limits serve as limits for toxicity.
Data review
DMRs were reviewed for the period of January 2008 to August 2010. DMR data is summarized
in Table I below:

Instream Data Impact
Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen are measured routinely at designated points upstream and
downstream from the discharge into the unnamed tributary. Because of the small steam flow, this
effluent had a positive impact as it consistently added dissolved oxygen and sustain the dissolved
oxygen level above the water quality standard downstream. However, the increasing effluent
ammonia and BOD levels will offset some of these gains. Will continue instream monitoring
program at same locations.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
In keeping with Division policies the following will be incorporated into the permit:
• Effluent page TRC footnote amended.
• Existing permit Special Condition A. (2.) removed.

Dear Mr. Misuraca:

February 6, 2020
Subject: Notice of Deficiency
Compliance Evaluation Inspection
NOD-2020-PC-0025
Berkley Oaks WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO062278
Gaston County
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection report for the inspection
conducted at the subject facility on November 28, 2018, by Ori Tuvia and Michael Meilinger.
The cooperation of Gregory Trombello during the site visit was much appreciated. Please advise
the staff involved with this NPDES Permit by forwarding a copy of the enclosed report.
Overall the site condition appears to have improved from the previous inspection. The
main areas of concern observed during this inspection were as follows:
1. Floor grating was broken at the entrance to the plant. Floor grating should be repaired to
ensure the safety of the ORC/operators and DWR staff.
2. At the time of inspection, the required records/reports could not be reviewed due to the
fact they are not maintained on site. Per permit condition Part II, Section D.6 the
Permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including:
D all calibration and maintenance records
D all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation
copies of all reports required by this permit
copies of all data used to complete the application for this permit
The records were eventually sent for review in the mail three weeks after the inspection.
If copies (electronic or hard copies) of these records/reports were maintained on site, it
would greatly assist the inspector to conduct a thorough inspection. These records/reports
should include: a copy of the permit, DMR's and any associated lab data/documentation
lab results, chain of custody, calibration data, solids removal records).

You are requested to respond to this Notice by march 10, 2020, with your plan of action to
resolve the broken floor grating.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions
concerning this report, please do not hesitate to contact Ori Tuvia at (704) 235-2190, or at

I am checking our records and cannot locate the final permit for Berkley Oaks. I wanted to follow up on this to
make sure it was not sent to the wrong address (given the change in ownership in 2020).
Was the actual permit issued and sent out? Apologies, just trying to get our records straightened out.
Thanks,
Dax

Ori,
I working on the renewal for NC0062278 Berkley Oaks Mobile Home Park WWTP. Did the
regional office ever receive the regional sewer connection investigation by March 31, 2016?
Attached is my draft so far, but I am stuck on this condition. See Condition A.(2.) that is
highlighted.
If we didn't get it from the previous owner, then there may not be a point in a NOV to the
new owner. We should just maintain the condition for the renewal with a new date?
Hope you are having a good one!
Derek
