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. Calendar Day 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. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods:January through March,April through June,July through September,and October through December. Composite 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 coIIected 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 Version 11/09/2011.1 N PD ES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 (4) Constant tini.elcorrstant volume: a series of grab samples of equal voltanae collected over a 2,4-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 1.5 percent. The following restrictions also apply: Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time`24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of flour samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring tha t monitoring occurs without interruption thnraaglaoul the operating hours of the fiaclity. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent tunes when there may he no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device, Dai_Iy 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. 1''or pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the "daily discharge"is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 C °R 122.2; see also "Composite Sample," above.) Daily viaaxinmunm The highest"daily discharge"during the calendar month.

The County Public Health Directors can be contacted using the following information: Catawba County Health Director Iredell County Health Director 3070 Eleventh Avenue Drive SE 318 Turnersburg Highway Hickory, NC 28602 Statesville, NC 28625 828 695-5800 704 878-5300 Lincoln County Health Director Mecklenburg County Health Director 151 Sigmon Road 700 North Tryon Street Lincolnton,NC 28092 Charlotte, NC 28202 704 736-8634 704 336-5102 (b) Public Notification The Permit-tee must notify the public of untreated wastewater spills. Wastewater facility owners or operators must issue a press release after a discharge to surface waters of 1,000 gallons within 48 hours of first knowledge of the spill by the owner/operator. The press release must be issued to "all electronic and print news media outlets that provide general coverage in the counties (Catawba, Iredell, Lincoln and Mecklenburg)where the discharge occurred." A copy of the press release must be maintained for one year by the Perminee. This press release is required in addition to the permit requirement of contacting the North Carolina Division of Water Quality(DWQ). If a discharge of 15,000 gallons or more reaches surface water, a public notice is required in addition to the press release. The public notice must be placed in a newspaper having general circulation in the County in which the discharge occurred and the county immediately downstream. At a minimum the notice should be published in the newspaper of general circulation in Catawba, Iredell, Lincoln and Mecklenburg Counties. If a discharge of 1,000,000 gallons of wastewater or more Preaches surface waters, the DWQ regional office must be contacted to determine in what additional counties, if any, a public notice must be published. A copy of these public notices and proof of publication must be sent to the DWQ to the attention of"Non Discharge Compliance Enforcement Unit" at the letterhead address within 30 days of publication. The minimum content of the notice is the location of the discharge,estimated volume, water body affected and steps taken to prevent future discharges. • • • NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 1 of 18 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS Section A. Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act(CWA),as amended,33 USC 1251,et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform,the geometric mean of such discharges. 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. Calendar Day 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. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite 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 Version 7/2009 NPDFS Permit Standard.Conditions Page 2 of 18 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 time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than l5 percent. The following restrictions also apply: Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters Influent samples shall,not be collected more than once per hour. Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention tune < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours, there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement now 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 f7ow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measuredduring a calendar d.ay 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 samp.lc concentration or the arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CI"R 122,2) Daily Maximum The highest"daily discharge" during the calendar month. '..San Iu Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or, other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling.

(2) SPECIAL CONDITION— Spill Notification. [continued] (b) Public Notification The Permittee must notify the public of untreated wastewater spills. Wastewater facility owners or operators must issue a press release after a discharge to surface waters of 1,000 gallons within 48 hours of first knowledge of the spill by the owner/operator. The press release must be issued to "all electronic and print news media outlets that provide general coverage in the counties (Catawba, Iredell,Lincoln and Mecklenburg) where the discharge occurred." A copy of the press release must be maintained for one year by the Permittee. This press release is required in addition to the permit requirement of contacting the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ). If a discharge of 15,000 gallons or more reaches surface water, a public notice is required in. addition to the press release.The public notice must be placed in a newspaper having general circulation in the County in which the discharge occurred and the county immediately downstream. At a minimum the notice should be published in the newspaper of general circulation in Catawba, Iredell, Lincoln and Mecklenburg Counties. If a discharge of 1,000,000 gallons of wastewater or more reaches surface waters, the DWQ regional office must be contacted to determine in what additional counties, if any,a public notice must be published. A copy of these public notices and proof of publication must be sent to the DWQ to the attention of"Non Discharge Compliance Enforcement Unit' at the letterhead address within 30 days of publication. The minimum content of the notice is the location of the discharge, estimated volume, water body affected and steps taken to prevent future discharges. • NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page l cif 16 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS Section A. Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act,as amended, 33 USC 1251,et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform,the geometric mean of such discharges. 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. Calendar Day. 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. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite 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 time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: > Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters Version 10/10/2007 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2:of 16 Influent samples shall not he collected more than once per hour. Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. Permittees with 'wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every X hours [X = clays detention time] over a 24-hour period. Effluent samples shall be collected at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples 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 morntored 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 am 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 122.2) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" for conventional and other non-toxicant parameters. NOTE: Permittees may not submit a "daily average" calculation [for determining compliance with permit litnits] for toxicants. See the relevant Federal effluent guidelnie[s] for the appropriate calculation interval. DanySampling 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). DWQ or"the Division" The Division of Water Quality,Department of Environment and Natural Resources. EMC The North Carolina Environmental 11-lanagement Commission, Facility Closure The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility,or the cessation of all activities that require coverage under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean. The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean,values of"0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = I. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 nil collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples).

(2) SPECIAL CONDITION— Spill Notification [continued] (b) Public Notification The Permittee must notify the public of untreated wastewater spills. Wastewater facility owners or operators must issue a press release after a discharge to surface waters of 1,000 gallons within 48 hours of first knowledge of the spill by the owner/operator.The press release must be issued to"all electronic and print news media outlets that provide general coverage in the counties (Catawba,Iredell,Lincoln and Mecklenburg) where the discharge occurred."A copy of the press release must be maintained for one year by the Permittee. This press release is required in addition to the permit requirement of contacting the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ. If a discharge of 15,000 gallons or more reaches surface water,a public notice is required in addition to the press release.The public notice must be placed in a newspaper having general circulation in the County in which the discharge occurred and the county immediately downstream.At a minimum the notice should be published in the newspaper of general circulation in Catawba,Iredell,Lincoln and Mecklenburg Counties. If a discharge of 1,000,000 gallons of wastewater or more reaches surface waters,the DWQ regional office must be contacted to determine in what additional counties,if any,a public notice must be published. A copy of these public notices and proof of publication must be sent to the DWQ to the attention of"Non Discharge Compliance Enforcement Unit" at the letterhead address within 30 days of publication. The minimum content of the notice is the location of the discharge,estimated volume,water body affected and steps taken to prevent future discharges. NPDES Permit Requirements Page 1 of 16 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS Section A. Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the CIean Water Act,as amended,33 USC 1251,et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of an "daily'discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. 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. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one clay 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. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. • Composite 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 time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected 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 100 milliliters. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. Version 6/20/2003 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 Sampling 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). DWQ or"the Division" The Division of Water Quality,Department of Environment and Natural Resources. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. Facility Closure The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility,or the cessation of all activities that require coverage under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean,values of"0" (or"< [detection level]") shall be considered=1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. Instantaneous flow measurement A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. Version 6/20/2003 NPDES Permit Requirements Page 3 of 16 . . Monthly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration limit) The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage 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 excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance,or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average(concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such-discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1. Duty to Comply - The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit.

Proper Operation and Maintenance The Permittee shall at all times provide the operation and maintenance resources necessary to operate the existing facilities at optimum efficiency. The Permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the Permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the Permittee to install and operate backup or auxiliary facilities only when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit [40 CFR 122.41 (e)]. 3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit [40 CFR 122.41 (c)]. 4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities a. Bypass not exceeding limitations [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (2)] 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 b. and c. of this section. b. Notice [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (3)] (1) Anticipated bypass. If the Permitter 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 effect of the bypass. (2) Unanticipated bypass. The Permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II.E. 6. (24-hour notice). c. Prohibition of Bypass • (1) Bypass from the treatment facility 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 b. of this section. (2) Bypass from the collection system is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a Permittee for a bypass as provided in any current or future system-wide collection system permit associated with the treatment facility. (3) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph c. (1)of this section. 5. Upsets a. Effect of an upset [40 CFR 122.41 (n) (2)]: An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph b. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that Version 6/20/2003 NPDES Permit Requirements Page8of16 noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. b.

(2) SPECIAL CONDITION— Spill Notification [continued] (b) Public Notification The Permittee must notify the public of untreated wastewater spills. Wastewater facility owners or operators must issue a press release after a discharge to surface waters of 1,000 gallons within 48 hours of first knowledge of the spill by the owner/operator.The press release must be issued to"all electronic and print news media outlets that provide general coverage in the counties (Catawba,Iredell,Lincoln and Mecklenburg) where the discharge occurred."A copy of the press release must be maintained for one year by the Permittee. This press release is required in addition to the permit requirement of contacting the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ)• If a discharge of 15,000 gallons or more reaches surface water,a public notice is required in addition to the press release.The public notice must be placed in a newspaper having general circulation in the County in which the discharge occurred and the county immediately downstream.At a minimum the notice should be published in the newspaper of general circulation in Catawba,IredeIl,Lincoln and Mecklenburg Counties. If a discharge of 1,000,000 gallons of wastewater or more reaches surface waters,the DWQ regional office must be contacted to determine in what additional counties,if any,a public notice must be published. A copy of these public notices and proof of publication must be sent to the DWQ to the attention of"Non Discharge Compliance Enforcement Unit" at the letterhead address within 30 days of publication. The minimum content of the notice is the location of the discharge,estimated volume,water body affected and steps taken to prevent future discharges. Division of Water Quality • Water Quality Section Point Source Branch October 19,2001 MEMORANDUM To: Coleen Sullins Through: Dave Goodrich Bill Reid From: Michael Myers Subject: Package Plant Dischargers to Class B waters of Lake Norman Catawba River Basin In October 2000, the Division issued an NPDES Permit to Mid-South Water systems for the Highway 150 WWTP. The Division issued a final permit that included increased monitoring for fecal coliform and spill notification requirements (See Exhibit 1 and 2). In order to protect public health and address public concern, the Division required increased fecal monitoring during the summer and required public notification of spills. The conditions were implemented because of the B classification of the receiving water and the high level of recreational use. Since the issuance of the Highway 150 WWTP, the Division has received numerous requests from concerned citizens asking that these same conditions apply to all discharges to Lake Norman where treatment is performed using package plants (examples attached). In order to address these concerns, the NPDES Unit and the Mooresville Regional Office evaluated the following alternatives: 1. No action; 2. Include daily fecal monitoring and spill notification requirements on package plant discharges to class B waters of Lake Norman. The implementation strategy would place these conditions in applicable NPDES permits that have not been issued and modify the remaining permits upon renewal. 3. Same as option 2 except, the implementation strategy would place these conditions in applicable NPDES permits that have not been issued and reopen the remaining permits and modify accordingly. 4. Same as option 2 except, the implementation strategy would place these conditions in applicable NPDES permits upon renewal. Recommendation • After evaluating the different options and affected dischargers, it is recommended that package plant discharges to class B waters of Lake Norman in the Catawba River basin include daily fecal coliform monitoring during the summer months (including weekends and holidays) and public notification requirements (See Exhibits 1 and 2)in the event of a release of untreated wastewater reaching waters of the State. It is additionally recommended, that implementation of these special conditions occur during the 2004-2005 permitting cycle and the policy should be reevaluated periodically for modification or deletion based on the number of spills occurring from such facilities.

Goodrich c0 NPDES Unit Supervisor 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 to 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 Hearing Officer also recommended the addition of a standard for Methyl Tea-Butyl Ether (MTBE). • • 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 Trout waters. The Triennial Review changes modified the TRC Action Level Standard to an Aquatic Life Standard of 17 µg/L The Aquatic Life Standard will remain for designated Trout waters. Aquatic Life Standard—17 µg/L (freshwater only) Trout Waters•-17 lig/L Revised TRC Policy > TRC limits will be assigned to permit renewals and all new permits issued after April 1,2003. > Facilities that do not use chlorine will not receive a TRC limit;however,,the presence of a chlorine back-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 µg/L. ➢ Limits will be capped at 28 pg/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 may 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 dechlorination and/or alternative disinfection system(s). The NPDES Unit has promulgated minimum design criteria in order to expedite permitting of dechlorination equipment. cc: Coleen Sullins - Regional Office Supervisors(Dechlorination guidance attached) • Shannon Langley -- • f J[ i G71 SOC Priority Project: No To: Permits and Engineering Unit Water Quality Section Attention: Charles Weaver Date: May 23, 2005 NPDES STAFF REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION County: Catawba MRO No. 04-142 Permit No. NC0064599 PART I - GENERAL INFORMATION 1.

Proposed Facilities: Applicant proposes to construct a 0.0075 MGD package type wastewater treatment plant to serve an existing Motel's restaurant. A lounge will also be part of the Restaurant. The building is currently being served by a septic tank and nitrification field which has been determined as inadequate by the local Health Department. Permit No. NC0064599 Page Two The site appeared suitable for the construction of the proposed wastewater treatment plant. The wastewater treatment plant is to be located well above the 100 year flood plane. A wasteload allocation has not as yet been promulgated for this facility; however, "secondary" limitations are expected. The Restaurant, and Lounge is proposed to have a total capacity of 140 seats. The Motel section is served by a separate septic tank/nitrification system which will continue to be used. Part III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Performance Evaluation: N/A 2. 0 & M Evaluation: N/A 3. Recommendations and/or Special Conditions: The Department of Human Resources • must concur on this project due to the discharge into A-II, B waters. Stand-by Power should be included in the design of the proposed facilities. The outfall line should be extended to a point designated on the attached map which places it at the mouth of the cove. This point is approx. 100 yards from the proposed location of the wastewater treatment plant. It is recommended that an NPDES Permit be issued for this proposed discharge. MLP:pb a. o ft �_�7 --.

PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS SECTION A. DEFINITIONS I. Permit Issuing Authority: The Director of the Division of Water Quality. 2. DEM or"the Division" Means the Division of Water Quality,Department of Environment and Natural Resources. • 3. 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 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. 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. 6 • Part II • Page 2 of 11 6.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 ndrnber 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. 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. S. 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 " Part II Page 3 of 11 8. a. (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. CaIculation 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. 10. Calendar Day: A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 11. Hazardous Substance: A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 12. Toxic Pollutant: A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS 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 Tide 15A NCAC Chapter 8G.0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II, III, 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,NCAC Chapter 8G.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. 2. Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. 3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit. 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. Part II Page 7 of 11 4.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 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. 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) (2) 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. ' . • Part II Page 8 of 11 6.

Thank you for submitting this package. We need two additional items in order to process your permit renewal: ♦ Information on solids handling/disposal, Howe recently were solids removed from your treatment system, and how arc solids disposed? The permit renewal for this facility will be assigned to a member of the,NPDES Unit staff. The NPDES Unit has been working with at least 3 (and as many as 5) vacant positions since October 1998. This staff shortage is delaying all of our permit renewals. Our remaining permit writers are currently reviewing Authorizations to Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit modifications and 201 plan updates ahead of permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety' of factors, including mandatory deadlines in the statutes that govern our program. If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NC0064599, the existing requirements in your permit will remain in effect until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We appreciate your patience and understanding while we operate with a severely depleted staff. If you have any additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit,please contact me at(919) 733-5083, extension 511. Sincerely, / Charles H.

DEM or Division - Means the Division of Environmental Management,Department of Environment,Health and Natural Resources. 3. JMC Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. 4. Actor"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. 5. Mass/Day Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of poIIutants 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 (I). 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 ti A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1)of the Clean Water Act. SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS 1. Duty to Comply 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.

Bypassing of Treatment Facilities a. Definitions (I) "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 Iimitations. 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 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 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. Up ets 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.

The wastewater consists of domestic waste from the motel, restaurant, and boat holding tanks . The amount of waste from the boat holding tanks is unknown. This waste was not included in the previous permit application. The wastewater treatment plant is not well maintained. Several instances of not reporting and discrepancies in reported data were noted in a previous inspection report. Several violations have occurred for effluent limits . These concerns are being dealt with separately. The wastewater treatment plant is currently classified as a Class I facility. A new rating sheet is included and indicates the wastewater treatment plant is a Class II facility. The Operator in Responsible Charge, Dr. Frank DeFelice, is a Grade I operator. Instantaneous flow measurement is currently required. The Permittee should be required to install a continuous flow measuring device. This wastewater treatment plant is a mechanical system. The sludge holding tank is currently disconnected from the wastewater treatment plant. Sludge wasting is not possible to this tank. The sludge wasting tank was included in the authorization to construct. This Office recommends the Permit be renewed with the following conditions: 1. The plant should be reclassified as a Class II facility and a Grade II operator retained. 2. A continuous flow monitoring device be installed. 3 . The sludge holding tank be connected for routine sludge wasting. 4. The Permittee be required to request a modification of the Permit to include boat holding tank waste.

Part II Page 1 of 14 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS SECTION A. DEFINITIONS 1. 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. FMC Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. 4. Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. 5. Mass/Day Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday- Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum,"in Part I of the permit. Part Page 2 of 14 d. The"average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. 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. Jti Part II Page 3 of 14 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. 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. 9. Calculation of Means a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of ally set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Part II Page 4 of 14 b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1). c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 11. Hazardous Substance A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CIean Water Act. 12. Toxic Pollutant A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS 1.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS 1. Certified Operator Pursuant to Chapter 90A-44 of North Carolina General Statutes, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible charge(ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities. The permittee shall notify the Division's Operator Training and Certification Unit within five days of any change in the ORC status. Part II Page 8 of 14 2. Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. 3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit. 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 (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 (I) 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; . . Part II Page 9 of 14 (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. 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. Affect of an upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset,and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: (a) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s)of the upset; (b) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and (c) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit. (d) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this permit. d. Burden of proof. In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. Part II Page 10 of 14 6. Removed Substances Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge, and with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge when promulgated. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the disposal of sludge may be reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices. 7. Power Failures The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation, Title 15, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0I24 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 D. MONITORING 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. Reporting Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and reported on a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (DEM No. MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director, DEM, postmarked no later than the 30th day following the completed reporting period. The first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the Iast day of the month following the commencement of discharge. Duplicate signed copies of these, and all other reports required herein, shall be submitted to the following address: Division of Environmental Management Water Quality Section ATTENTION: Central Files Post Office Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 Part II Page 11 of 14 3. Flow Measurements Appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. The devices shall be installed, calibrated and maintained to ensure that the accuracy of the measurements are consistent with the accepted capability of that type of device. Devices selected shall be capable of measuring flows with a maximum deviation of less than+ 10% from the true discharge rates throughout the range of expected discharge volumes. Once-through condenser cooling water flow which is monitored by pump logs, or pump hour meters as specified in Part I of this permit and based on the manufacturer's pump curves shall not be subject to this requirement. 4. Test Procedures Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published pursuant to NCGS 143-2I5.63 et. seq,the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136. To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce minimum detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting Ievel) approved method must be used. 5. Penalties for Tampering The Clean Water Act provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate, any monitoring device or method required to be maintained under this permit shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 per violation,or by imprisonment for not more than two years per violation, or by both. 6.
