F. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT(QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure-Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 26% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date
of this permit during the months of February, May, August, November. Effluent sampling for
this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment
processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed,using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally,DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of •
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be re-opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
G. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT(QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure- Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 34% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).

control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with'monitoring requirements.
H. Disposal Alternatives
The Permittee shall continually evaluate all wastewater disposal alternatives and pursue the most
environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost effective alternatives. If the facility is in
substantial non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the NPDES permit or governing rules,
regulations, or laws, the permittee shall submit a report in such form and detail as required by the
Division evaluating these alternatives and a plan of action within sixty (60) days of notification by
the Division.
I. If the measure of this parameter is below the detection limit, the quantity for the pruposes of
compliance evaluation is considered to be zero. The detection limit for Mercury shall be 0.2 µg/l in
accordance with the Division of Environmental Management Chemical Laboratory Section
approved in procedures for the measurement of Mercury. Measurement of Mercury should be
reported on the DMR to be <0.2 µg/1, when the sample analysis indicates presence of this
parameter at less than the current detection level.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Hickory requests approval to expand the subject
facility to 9 . 0 MGD from it ' s present design capacity of 6 . 0 MGD.
During expansion, the City also plans to convert the existing WWT
facilities to an activated sludge process . This expansion is
expected to begin within the next 2-3 years , pending receipt of
approval by the Division. Conversion to an activated sludge
facility should enable this facility to provide a more consistent
level of treatment and buffer "batch" loadings from their
industrial customers . These inconsistent waste streams are
sometimes difficult for the existing RBC units to treat
effectively.
There is no evidence in the City's application that the
proposed facilities can effectively treat color found in their
waste stream. With a major expansion proposed at this facility,
color a significant part of the waste stream, and anticipation .of a
color standard being promulgated by the Division, the City should
be required to document their plans for dealing with (treating)
color prior to issuance of the Permit modification.
Pending a satisfactory response to the above issues and
approval of the WLA, it is recommended that the modification
request be approved.

Subject: NPDES Permit No. NC0040797
Henry Fork WWTP
Catawba County, NC
Dear Mr. Twiggs:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0040797 was
issued on December 1, 1993 for the discharge of wastewater to the
surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose 'of
this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and
the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it
is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular
importance are Pages 4-11.
Pages 4-11 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge(s) . Your discharge(s) must not
exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your
discharge (or operation) , you must initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the
reporting forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not
received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail
to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as
possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting
form (DEM Form MR-1) , plus instructions for completing the form.
It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed, and the
original and one copy be submitted as required.
The remaining Parts of the Permit set forth definitions,
general conditions and special conditions applicable to the
operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s) .
The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event
of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc.
Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater
treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater treatment

facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment
facilities, quantity and type of wastewater -being treated or
discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment
facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES
Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to _
Section 143-215. 6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A civil
penalty of up to $10, 000 per violation plus criminal penalties may
be assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that you
are unable to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit,
you should contact this Office immediately. A Consent Order may be
necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a
five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed. Renewal
requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180 days
prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of
your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also
note that NPDES Permits are not transferable. If you, as the
Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that
the Permit be rescinded.
•
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to
advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read the
Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville if
you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to
providing any assistance.
Sincerely,

PART III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Hickory has requested issuance of an ATC for the
construction and/or modification of WWT facilities at the City 's
Henry Fork WWTP that will ultimately increase the hydraulic
(design) capacity of the facility from 6 . 0 MGD to 9 . 0 MGD.
This Office has no information of the status of the City ' s
Stormwater Permit for this facility. Stormwater Permits for WWTPs
typically are not routed through the regional office . Bill Mills
in the NPDES-Stormwater Review Group should be contacted for
information on this matter .
This Office has no objection to the proposed method and
sequence for construction provided the effects on day-to-day WWTP
operations are minimized. Stand-by power is already provided at
this facility .
Historically, this facility has had problems with odors
generated from the facilities residuals storage/treatment
equipment , which frequently resulted in an improperly stabilized
sludge , In Construction Grants review of this project , careful
attention should be directed to the City's efforts to construct
facilities that will minimize and/or eliminate migrant odors .
This Office has conducted a review of the City's request ,
and pending a technical review and approval by Construction
Grants , it is recommended that an ATC be issued.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
I. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division •
Means the Division of Environmental Management,Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
3.
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/Dav Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled
and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during
such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days
the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge"is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average"
in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight)of a pollutant discharged during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled •
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found
• each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

,
Part II
Page 2 of 14
6. Concentration 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 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 Measurements •
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded
during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling,
when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of: •
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection,or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the
sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by
use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment
system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of
flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time
of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time
intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the
detention time of the system in number of days. However,in no case may the time interval
between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less.
than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period 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).

C , •
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 C1~R 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.

F. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT(QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure -Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 26% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date
of this permit during the months of February, May, August, November. Effluent sampling for
this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment
processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
• disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single tes: is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by th. north- Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be re-opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requiremc. s or limits.
NO'i'i : Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
G. Pollutant Analysis Condition
The perinittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment plant.
The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be
completed annually using EPA approved methods for the fallowing analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (Le., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral extractables;
(d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The
Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying
memo, to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement, describes the

i" •� A sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant analysis.
This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring
Requirement" (APAM).
(2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.
For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement
Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the '10 significant peaks rule").
H. Disposal Alternatives
The Permittee shall continually evaluate all wastewater disposal alternatives and pursue the most
environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost effective alternatives. If the facility is in
substantial non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the NPDES permit or governing rules,
regulations, or laws, the permittee shall submit a report in such form and detail as required by the
Division evaluating these alternatives and a plan of action within sixty (60) days of notification by
the Division.
I. If the measure of these parameters are below detection limits, the quantity for the purposes of
compliance evaluation is considered to be zero. The detection limit for Mercury shall be 0.2 µg/l
and for Endrin shall be 0.03 1.1.g/1 in accordance with the Division of Environmental Management
Chemical Laboratory Section approved in procedures for the measurement of Mercury and Endrin.
Measurement of Mercury and Endrin should be reported on the DMR to be < 0.2 µg/1 or < 0.03
µg/l respectively, when the sample analysis indicates presence of these parameters at less than the
current detection levels.

arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar
month.
g. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the
summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual
values.
h., 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) .
i. 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.
j . Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a

revisions to 15 NCAC 211.0903 shall become a part of this permit.
M 12

PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS
A. Requirements for Effluent Limitations on Pollutants Attributable to
Industrial Users
1. Effluent limitations are listed in Part I of this permit. Other
pollutants attributable to inputs from major contributing industries using
the municipal system may be present in the permittee's discharge. At such
time as sufficient information becomes available to establish limitations
for such pollutants, this permit may be revised to specify effluent
limitations for any or all of such other pollutants in accordance with best
practicable technology or water quality standards.
2. Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction of the
following wastes into the waste treatment system:
a. Wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment
works.
b. Wastes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment
works, and in no case discharges with pH less than 5 unless the system
is specifically designed to accomodate such discharges.
c. Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to
the flow in sewers or interference with the proper operation of the
treatment works.
d. Wastewaters at a flow rate and/or pollutant concentration which will
cause a loss of treatment efficiency.
e. Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the
treatment works, resulting in interference but in no case heat in such
quantities that the temperature at the treatment works influent exceeds
40 C (104 F) unless the works are designed to accommodate such heat.
3. With regard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit,
it may be necessary for the permittee to supplement the requirements of the
Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 403) to ensure compliance by
the permittee with all applicable effluent limitations. Such actions by the

The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 26% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date
of this permit during the months of February, May, August, November. Effluent sampling for
this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment
processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch

Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a singie test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to tile receiving stream, this
permit may be re-opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such : .imum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute ', n? ra-Aglt
and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Fa
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. •
o
G. Pollutant Analysis Condition C B 1199
FAT
Rq
The perrnittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatmeniid
The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent.must
completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral extractables;
(d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The
Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM)Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying
memo, to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement, describes the

- sampling and analysisrequirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant analysis.
This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring
Requirement" (APAM),
•
(2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.
For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement
Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the "10 significant peaks rule").
H. Disposal AIternatives
The Permittee shall continually evaluate all wastewater disposal alternatives and pursue the most
environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost effective alternatives. If the facility is in
substantial non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the NPDES permit or governing rules,
regulations, or Iaws, the permittee shall submit a report in such form and detail as required by the
Division evaluating these alternatives and a plan of action within sixty (60) days of notification by
the Division.
•
I. If the measure of these parameters are below detection limits, the quantity for the purposes of
compliance evaluation is considered to be zero. The detection limit for Mercury shall be 0.2 µg/1
and for Endrin shall be 0.03 µg/I in accordance with the Division of Environmental Management
Chemical Laboratory Section approved in procedures for the measurement of Mercury and Endrin.
Measurement of Mercury and Endrin should be reported on the DMR to be < 0.2 µg/1 or < 0.03
µg/I respectively, when the sample analysis indicates presence of these parameters at less than the
current detection Ievels.

CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIT, PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay
Procedure -Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality
is_34 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall
perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first
test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit during the months of_
FEB MAY AUG NOV_. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final
effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form(MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B.
Additionally,DEM Form AT-1 (original)is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in
association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will
begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will
revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-opened and
modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism
survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate
retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute
noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Hickory requests renewal of the subject Permit .
The facility was' in good operational condition at the time of the
site inspection.
The City is planning to expand this facility to a capacity of
9 . 0 MCD. During expansion, the City also has plans to convert the
existing WWT facilities to an activated sludge process . This
expansion is expected to begin within the next 2-3 years , provided
all necessary Permits and approvals are obtained . It is recommended
that the renewed Permit contain effluent limitations for both 6 . 0
and 9.0 MGD. Conversion to an activated sludge facility should
enable this facility to provide a more consistent level of
treatment and buffer "batch" loadings from their industrial
customers .

919/571-4700 Dear Mr. Twiggs:
Washington This letter is written to clarify my previous letter to you dated
919/946-6481. November 12, 1992. Our office recently held a meeting with the
Technical Services Branch of the Water Quality Section to further
Wilmington discuss the likelihood of receiving phosphorus limits.
919/395-3900
A management plan to control phosphorus loading throughout the
Winston-'Salem South Fork Watershed will be in place as a part of the Catawba River
919/896-7007 Basinwide Plan which is due April, 1995. Exact limits can not be.
established until the Basinwide Plan is completed. Therefore, it is
recommended that the Henry Fork WWJP be designed with the flexibility
to achieve a range of possible phosphorus limits.
Should you have further questions regarding this matter, please
contact me at (919) 733-6900, extension 614.

Authorization to Construct
Henry Fork WWTP
Wastewater Treatment Facility
Catawba County
Dear Mr. Twiggs:
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received September 11, 1992 by the
Division and final plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and found to be
satisfactory. Authorization is hereby granted for the construction of odor reduction equipment consisting
of aluminum covers over four existing sludge holding basins and two two-stage packed tower odor
scrubber systems. Be advised that an Air Quality permit must be received before the odor scrubber
systems begin operation. Permit application information can be obtained from the Air Quality Section of
the Division of Environmental Management. •
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III. Paragraph C of NPDES
Permit No. NC0040797 issued October 29, 1987 and shall be subject to revocation unless the wastewater
treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in Permit No.
NC0040797.
The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with G.S.
143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions, the Pernuttee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this
Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities.

FROM: Stephen 13evington,eff
SUBJECT: Phosphorus removal for the City of Hickory Henry Fork WWTP
NPDES Permit # NC0040797
Catawba County
As you are aware, phosphorus loading from the discharge of wastewater is an issue
of concern to water quality in the South Fork. Catawba.River watershed. Lake Wylie,
downstream of the South Fork, has been identified as a nutrient sensitive area. Results of a
1990 eutrophication study and model now being finalized indicate that reduced nutrient
loading to the South Fork will improve water quality in.Lake Wylie. Proposed
management plans recommended control of phosphorus loading from wastewater in the
lower South Fork basin. Recommendations for the control of phosphorus throughout the
entire South Fork watershed will be evaluated and considered for the Catawba River
Basinwide Plan, due April 1995. Because of the nutrient sensitive condition in Lake
Wylie, wastewater treatment facilities in the South Fork watershed should consider
phosphorus removal in their plans for future treatment of wastewater,
As the City of Hickory plans for future wastewater treatment needs, phosphorus
removal should be considered, Phosphorus discharged from the Henry Fork WWTP
makes up a significant percentage of the point source contribution to the South Fork
watershed. A management plan to control phosphorus loading throughout the South Fork
watershed will likely recommend phosphorus removal at the Henry Fork W \r P. Exact
phosphorus limits for facilities in the South Fork watershed can not be determined until the
Catawba River Basinwide plan is completed. Therefore, it is recommended that the Henry
Fork WW'I'P he designed with the flexibility to be able to meet a range of possible
phosphorus limits. A design that can most easily be adapted to meet best available
phosphorus removal levels will help the facility meet any future phosphorus limit and help
protect water quality in the South Fork watershed.
Please contact me or Trevor Clements if you have any questions about phosphorus
loading in the South Fork watershed or development of the (;`atawba River Basin wide Plan,

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

PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS
A. Requirements for Effluent Limitations on Pollutants Attributable to
Industrial Users •
1. Effluent limitations from this discharger are listed in Part I of this permit.
It is apparent that other pollutants attributable to inputs from major
contributing industries using the municipal system may also be present in the
permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information becomes
available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be
revised to specify effluent limitations for any or all of such other pollutants
in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality standards.
2. Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction of the following
wastes into the waste treatment system:
a. Wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works.
b. Wastes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment works.
c. Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to the
flow in sewers or interference with the proper operation of the treatment
works.
d. Wastewaters at a flow rate and/or pollutant discharge rate which is
excessive over relatively short time periods so as to cause a loss of
treatment efficiency.
e. Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the treatment
works resulting in interference but in no case heat in such quaQtitieso
that the temperature at the treatment works influent exceeds 40 C (104 F)
unless the works are designed to accomodate such heat. (After August 25, 1981)
3. With regard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit,
it may be necessary for the permittee to supplement the requirements of the
Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 403) to ensure compliance by
the permittee with all applicable effluent limitations. Such actions by
the permittee may be necessary regarding some or all of the major contri-
buting industries discharging to the municipal system.
The permittee shall require each major contributing industry subject to
pre-treatment standards or any other applicable requirements promulgated
pursuant to Section 307 of the Act to submit to the permittee periodic
notice (at intervals not to exceed 9 months) regarding specific actions taken
to achieve full compliance with the requirements of Section 307. Starting
on the permittee shall submit semi-annually to the permit
issuing authority a report summarizing the progress of all known major
contributing industries subject to the requirements of Section 307 towards
full compliance with such requirements. Such report shall include at
least the following information:
M 13

PART TII
Permit No. NC
a. A narrative summary of actions taken by the permittee to ensure
that all major contributing industries comply with the requirements
of Section 307.
b. The number of major contributing industries using the treatment
works, divided into SIC group categories.
c. The number of major contributing industries in full compliance
with the requirements of Section 307, or not subject to these
requirements (e.g. , discharge only compatible pollutants).
d. A list identifying by name those major contributing industries
presently in violation of the requirements of Section 307.
4 Immediately upon issuance of this permit, the permittee shall establish
and implement a procedure to obtain from all major contributing indus-
tries specific information on the quality and quantity of effluents intro-
duced by such industrial users. The following information shall be
reported to the permitting agency on a quarterly basis beginning
; quarterly reports reflecting no change from the previous quarter
may simply relate this fact, without submitting repetitive data.
a. Section IV, Standard Form A shall be completed and submitted for
each major contributing industry.
b. Information on the municipal facility as a whole is to be reported
on the monthly Monitoring Report Form (DEM - No. MR 1 .0, 1 .1 , 1 .2, and
1 .3).
Once the specific nature of industrial contributions has been identified,
data collection and reporting requirements may be levied for other
parameters in addition to those included on Form (DEM No. 1 .0, 1 .1 ,
1 .2, and 1 .3).
5, Based on the information regarding industrial inputs reported by the
permittee pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the permittee will be
notified by the permitting authority of the availability of industrial
effluent guidelines on which to calculate allowable inputs of incompatible
pollutants based on BPT for each industry group. Copies of guidelines
will be provided as appropriate. Not later than 120 days following
receipt of this information, the permittee shall submit to the permitting
authority calculations reflecting allowable inputs from each major con-
tributing industry. The permittee shall also require all such major
contributing industries to implement necessary pre-treatment requirements
(as provided for in 40 CFR, Part 403 ) , providing the permitting authority
with notifications of specific actions taken in this regard. At that time,
the permit may be amended to reflect the municipal facility's effluent
requirements for incompatible pollutants.

Subject: NPDES PERMIT NO. NC0040797
CATAWBA COUNTY
Dear Permittee:
The subject permit issued on 10/29/87 expires on 10/31/92. North Carolina
General Statute (NCGS) 143-215. 1(c) requires that an application for permit renewal
be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date. As of the date of this
, letter, the Division of Environmental Management had not received an application for
renewal.
If operation of a discharge or waste treatment facility is to occur after the
permit's expiration date, or if continuation of the permit is desired, it must not be
allowed to expire. A renewal request must be submitted no later than 180 days prior
to the permit's expiration date. Operation of the waste treatment works or
continuation of a discharge after the expiration date would constitute a violation of
NCGS 143-215. 1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per
day. If continuation of the permit is desired, failure to request renewal at least
180 days prior to expiration will result in a civil assessment of at least $300.00;
larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
A renewal application shall consist of a letter requesting permit renewal along
with the appropriate completed and signed application form (copy attached), submitted
in triplicate, referenced in Title 15 of the North Carolina Administrative Code (15
NCAC) Subchapter 2H .0105(a). Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 122 shall also submit a priority pollutant
analysis in accordance with Part 122.21. A processing fee must be submitted with the
application. In addition to penalties referenced above, a permit renewal request
received after the expiration date will be considered as a new application and will
require the higher application fee.

PIPP
Attached is a copy of the fee schedule from 15 NCAC 2B-0105(b) . The application
processing fee is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate,
listed in the first five categories of facilities. Presently, no facility is allowed
to submit a fee for the general permits listed in the schedule since the Environmental
Protection Agency has not approved the State of North Carolina's general permit- if
the facility covered by this permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative
description of the sludge management plan must be submitted with the application for
renewal.
The Environmental Management Commission adopted revised rules on October 1, 1990
(attached), requiring the payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities, You
will be billed separately for that fee (if applicable) , after your permit is approved.
The letter requesting renewal, the completed Permit application, and appropriate
fee should be sent to:
Permits and Engineering Unit
Division of Environmental Management
Post Office Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
The check should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources which may be abbreviated as DERNR.
If there are questions or a need for additional information regarding the permit
renewal procedure, please contact me at telephone number (919) 733-5083.

Procedure -Revised*September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality
is ► % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform
quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be
pe ormed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit during the months of
ttg m,4y Au& Nv✓ . Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES
permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B.
Additionally,DEM Form AT-1 (original)is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607-6445
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in
association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will
.begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will
revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-opened and
modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism
survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate
retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute
noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

6. The bearing and distance to the existing point of effluent discharge
is: Longitude 81°19'30" and Latitude 35°39'5O". '
7. Size: Approximately 86 acres. Adequate area is available for the
proper operation and maintenance of the existingfacilities.
8. Topography: Hilly, 5-20% slopes.
9. Location of nearest 'dwelling: None within 1000 feet.
10. Receiving Stream: Henry Fork River in the Catawba River Basin
(a) Classification: "C"
(b) Minimum 7-Day, 10-Year discharge at site:
(c) Usage: Fishing, secondary recreation, agriculture, and any
other usage except for primary recreation or as a source of water
supply for drinking, culinary or food-processing purposes.
Part II - DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING TREATMENT WORKS
The existing facility is a 6.0 MGD two stage biological treatment plant
consisting of an influent pump station, a mechanical bar screen, grit '
chamber, instrumented flow measurement, flow equalization basin,. primary
clarifiers, rotating biological discs for carbonaceous and nitrogenous
treatment, final clarifiers, chlorine contact basin, post (cascade)
aeration, aerated sludge holding lagoon (diffused and mechanical) , _
sludge conditioning through chemical oxidation (purifax) , sludge drying
beds and auxilliary power supply.
It has recently come to the attention of the Mooresville Regional Office
that the City is disposing of dried sludge by land application without
a permit. The City has been notified of the need to apply for a permit
and the Mooresville Regional Office is awaiting a response.

rt III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The most recent Compliance Evaluation Analysis (March 26, 1982) indicated
• that the effluent was in compliance with the limitations in the existing
Permit'.
'The most recent monthly self-monitoring report .(March,' 1982) ,contains
the following reported results: - •
Parameter, Effluent Concentration
Monthly Average
Flow 2.4,MGD . .
Temperature , fl 16°C
pH ', , , 7.0 7.4 s.u.
Settleable Matter 0.09 m1/1 •

NH3 as N 7 mg/1 .
Total Residue 568 mg/1
. TSR - . • 28 mg/1
Fecal Coliform 2/130 nl
Dissolved Oxygen 8.7 mg/1
• During the inspection, there appeared to be excessive solids in the
effluent. ' The operator explained that the plant had just been subjected
to a large quantity of inflow as a result of heavy rainfall the day
before.
It was also observed that one of the primary clarifiers was 'not in service
at the time 'and also there appeared to be trouble with.the sludge removal
system in the final clarifiers.. The sludge appeared to be mostly liquid
with too 'little solids concentration. The operator indicated that there
. might be som clogging in the suction line which was in effect straining
the solids- and removing mostly water. The operator agreed to further
check into this to see what action needs to be taken.
. Otherwise, it appeared that the faciIiiy is being properly operated and
maintained. •
It is recommended that the NPDES Permit be renewed. '

chlorine must be measured and reported if employed for disinfection
of the waste stream.
Should any test -data from this •'monitoring requirement or tests
performed by the North Carolina- Division of Environmental Management
indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may
be reopened and modified to include alternate monitoring
requirements or limitations.
Note: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited
document, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate
environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will
require immediate retesting . Failure to submit suitable test
results will constitute a failure of permit conditions .

activities cited in the State and Federal General Pretreatment Regulations
15 NCAC 2H .0900 and 40 CFR 403 respectively. Compliance with these
regulations has been achieved through documentation submitted to the
Division of Environmental Management. As a result, the Pretreatment Pro-
gram of Hickory is approved as of May 21 , 1984.
Approval of the documentation indicates successful completion of an
administrative framework, However, implementation of the local pretreat-
ment program requires the day to day operation of an effective industrial
monitoring program. The Division of Environmental Management will retain
the authority to require changes in local pretreatment programs.
The Hickory NPDES permit will be the Division of Environmental
Management's primary instrument for Pretreatment Program enforcement. The
Hickory NPDES permit is hereby modified to incorporate the local Pre-
treatment Program and the Conditions of Final Approval. The attached Condi-
tions of Final Approval are a summary of requirements contained in the Pre-
treatment regulations.
The attached permit modification will become effective 60 days after
issuance of this letter. If parts of these modifications are unacceptable
to you, you have the right to request an administrative hearing. Any such
request must be submitted in writing within 30 days from receipt of this
letter.
The Division of Environmental Management looks forward to a productive
relationship with the City in maintaining an effective Pretreatment Program.
Should you require assistance or further clarification regarding the program
call Douglas S. Finan, Pretreatment Supervisor, at 919/733-5083.

Dear Mr. Twiggs:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC 0040797 was
issued. on October 29, 1987 for the discharge of wastewater to the
surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of
this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and
the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so,
it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of
particular importance is Page M3 .
Page M3 sets forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge(s) . Your discharge(s) must not
exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your
discharge (or operation) , you must initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the DMR
forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not received
these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to
receive the form, please contact this Office as quickly as
possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting
form (DEM Form MR-1) , plus instructions for completing the form.
It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed,
otherwise the forms may be returned to you as incomplete.
Failure to properly complete the forms may also result in an
automatic $300.00 fine.
The remaining Parts of the Permit (Parts II and III) set
forth definitions, general conditions and special conditions
applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities

and/or discharge(s) . The conditions include special reporting
requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment
unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for
a certified wastewater treatment plant operator if you are
operating wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in
operation of wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type
of wastewater being treated or discharged, expansions and/or
upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or
approved by this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES
Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to
Section 143-215. 6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A
civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day per violation plus
criminal penalties may be assessed for such violations.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a
five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed.
Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than
180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration
date of your Permit. This date is set forth on Page M--1 or I-i
of the. Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not
transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this
Permit, through cessation of the discharge, 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

3. Definitions
a. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected in a one-
month period. The monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of samples collected in a one-month period.
• b. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during. a
one-week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria
is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one-week period.
c. Flow, M3/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the
24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the
arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar
month.
d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the
summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual
values.
M5

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

A. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS
1 . Change in Discharge
All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and
conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified
in this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that
authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit. Any anticipated
facility expansions, production increases, or process modifications which
will result in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must
be reported by submission of a new NPDES application or, if such changes
will not violate the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by
notice to the DEM of such changes. Following such notice, the permit
may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited.
2. Non compliance Notification
If, for any reason, the permittee does not comply with or will be unable
- to comply with any effluent limitation specified in this permit, the per-
mittee shall provide the Division of Environmental Management with the
following information, in writing, within five (5) days of becoming aware
of such condition:
a. A description of the discharge and cause of noncompliance; and
b. The period of noncompliance, including exact dates and times; or,
if not corrected; the anticipated time the noncompliance is expected
to continue, and steps being taken to reduce, eliminate and prevent
recurrence of the noncomplying discharge.
3. Facilities Operation
The permittee shall at all times maintain in good working order and
operate as efficiently as possible all treatment or control facilities
or systems installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with
the terms and conditions of this permit.
4. Adverse Impact
The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize any adverse
impact to navigable waters resulting from noncompliance with any effluent -
limitations specified in this permit, including such accelerated or
additional monitoring as necessary to determine the nature and impact of
the noncomplying discharge.
5. Bypassing
Any diversion from or bypass of facilities necessary to maintain compliance
with the terms and conditions of this permit is prohibited, except (I) where
M8 & I7

PART II

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

will be provided as appropriate. Not later than 120 days following
receipt of this information, the permittee shall submit to the permitting
authority calculations reflecting allowable inputs from each major con-
tributing industry. The permittee shall also require all such major
contributing industries to implement necessary pre-treatment requirements
(as provided for in 40 CFR, Part 128), providing the permitting authority
with notifications of specific actions taken in this regard. At that time,
