Dear Mr. Beatty:
JUL 1 9 2%
Subject: Revocation of NPDES Permit NC0069345
Murray's Mill Historical Site WWTP
Catawba County
Yourwastewater permit is hereby revoked, You no longer have armit to discharge
wastewater. Your permit is revoked for the following reasons:
• Your organization (CCHA) has never constructed a wastewater treatment facility.
• The last permit issued to CCHA required submission of an Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA)
no later than June 1, 2005,.EAA was ever submitted.
The Division issued a Notice of Violation (received by CCHA on January 29, 2010) requiring
submission of the EAA. by March 1, 2010. No EAA was ever submitted.
Investigation of the site by staff from the NC DENR Mooresville Regional Office concluded that any
wastewater. system, if constructed, would be significantly 'smaller than the one originally permitted.
The staff recommendation was to deny the permit renewal in the absence of a completed EAA.
• Failure to submit the EAA, combined with a request from you for an extension to the deadline 1.16
days after said deadline, has convinced us that there is no clear plan for any wastewater disposal
system at the Murray's Mill site.
If in the future you wish to discharge wastewater to the State's surface waters, you must first apply far and
receive a new NPDES permit. Discharge of wastewater without a valid NPDES permit could subject you to
a civil penalty of up to 825,000 per day.
If you have questions about this 'matter, please contact Charles Weaver of my staff at the telephone number
or address listed below.

NPDES Permit NC0069345
Catawba County
Dear Mr. Beatty:
Your current permit was issued on April 26, 2005 and expires on April 30, 2010. Your permit
contains the following requirement:
A. (2) ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES .ANALYSIS (EAA) REQUIREMENT
Within 30 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall complete (according to
guidance provided by the Division) and submit an EAA to the NPDES Unit.
The EAA must be reviewed and approvedby the NPDES LT it prior to the subeais ;ion of any Authorization to
Constructrequest for thisfacility.
The deadline for submission of the EAA was July 1, 2005. To date the Division has not received the
EAA. This 'failure to submit re urred information is a violation of , our ermit.
If you do not submit the required EAA by March 1, 2010, the Division will begin the
process to deny your renewal application.
Recent site investigation by Michael Parker of the NC DENR Mooresville Regional Office (MRO)
has determined that the proposed discharge will not be as large as originally planned. It is more
likely that your association can install a non -discharging system, making this permit unnecessary.
You are strongly urged to work with the MRO as you prepare the EAA.
Submit the completed EAA to:

2. Date of investigation: January 6, 2010
3. Report prepared by: Michael L. Parker, Environmental Engineer I1
4. Person contacted and telephone number: Paul Beatty, Jr., [phone].
5. Directions to site: Murray's Mill is located on SR 1003 (Murray's Mill Road)
approximately 0.5 mile south of the intersection of SR 1003 and NC Hwy. 10 in eastern
Catawba County.
6. Discharge point(s), list for all discharge points:
Latitude: 35 ° 40' 36"

7. Receiving stream or affected surface waters: Balls Creek
a. Classification: C
b. River Basin and subbasin no.: Catawba 030832
c. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: The proposed.
discharge would enter the receiving stream 75 yards below a concrete dam, which
is part of the Murray's Mill complex. The receiving stream appears to have
continuous flow even though the stream flow is impeded as a result of the dam.

1, Volume ofwastewater:: 0.0125 MG.D (proposed)
Current permitted capacity: 0.0125 MGD
3. Actual treatment capacity: N/A (Facility not yet built)
Description of proposed treatment facilities: A preliminary engineering proposal indicates
that an extended aeration WWT facility with disinfectioni'dechlorination is planned to treat
domestic/commercial wastewater generated from the proposed development.
PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Special monitoring requests: None at this time.
2. Compliance history: None available (proposed facility
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The per ttee, the Catawba County His torcal .Association (CCHA), has applied for permit
renewal. The proposed WW'TP will serve the Murray's Mill historical site and a future park (to be
named Heritage Park), which may include a restaurant. Use of the proposed WWT facilities will
most certainly be seasonal, with wastewater flows expected to be considerably higher in the summer
months and much lower in the winter. In a discussion with Mr. Paul Beatty with the CCHA, plans
have been drawn up for the Park, however, due to current economic conditions, funding for a
number of the grants applied for by the CCHA have been pulled back or in some cases canceled..
Mr. Beatty has been told it may be two years or more before any grant funding may be available.
The current NPDES pelt riit contained the following language in Section A.(2.):
A.(2). ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS (EAA) REQUIREMENT
Within 30 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall complete
(according to guidance provided by the Division) and submit an EAA to the NPDES Unit.
The EAA must be reviewed and approved by the NPDES Unit prior to the submission of any
Authorization to Constnmct request for this facility.
The cover letter transmitting the current permit also contained a paragraph that required the
submittal of the EAA described above to the NPDES Unit within 30 days following issuance of this
permit, and that enforcement action may be pursued against the CCHA for a violation of the perrnit.

Page Three
To date, there has been no action taken with regards of the failure of the CCHA to submit the EAA
subsequent to the issuance of the current permit nor is there a copy of the original EAA in the files
that should have been performed at the time the original permit application was received. Although
property immediately adjacent to the Murray's Mill site appears unsuitable for subsurface disposal
primarily based on topography (no soils information is available), there is a considerable amount of
undeveloped property near this site that could possibly be purchased and used for surface or
subsurface disposal. In conversations with Mr. Beatty, the overall scope and size of the Park and
Mill complex is expected to be much smaller than originally proposed, which may result in a
reduction in potential wastewater generation. The revised EAA may show that this reduction would
allow the CCHA to utilize on -site disposal rather than a discharge to surface waters. It is therefore
recommended that prior to the reissuance of the subject permit, the permittee should be required to
submit a revised EAA for review and approval by Regional. and CO staff before the permit is
reissued. If the results of the EAA reveals that there is suitable property adjacent to the site that
could be acquired and used for the construction of a non -discharge WWT system, then the Division
should notify the permittee that a decision to deny the permit renewal may be forthcoming.

Dear Mr. Beatty:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0069345 was issued on April 26, 2005
for the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose
of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and the liabilities in the event of
failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it
is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular importance is Page 4.
Page 4 sets forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your
discharge. Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types and sampling
locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required
monitoring: The monitoring results must be entered on reporting forms furnished or approved by
this Agency. For new permits/facilities, the Division may supply an initial small stock of these
Dorms; however, if you fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as possible.
The forms, including directions for their completion, and other important information are also
available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.html. It is imperative that all applicable
parts be completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual fee may be required for your facility; if so, you will
receive a statement from our Raleigh Office. It is imperative that the fee be paid in a timely
manner so as to prevent enforcement action or possible revocation of your permit.
The remaining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and special
conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s). The
conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses,
,„. treatment unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater

treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in
operation of wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or
discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or
approved by this Agency.
To maintain compliance with discharge limitations, proper operation and maintenance of
a wastewater treatment facility and the development of a process control program are essential.
For those facilities having chlorine tablet disinfection, please be advised that chlorine tablets
approved for wastewater treatment use must be used; swimming pool tablets are not approved.
Also, be advised that DWQ staff need to have access to the facility's discharge point into the
receiving stream; please maintain a path along the outfall line to facilitate that access.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the
Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General
Statutes. A civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties) may be
assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that you are unable to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit, you should contact this Office immediately. A Special Order by
Consent (SOC) may be necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period. Permits are
not automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180
clays prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit. This date is set
forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not automatically transferable.
If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that the Division of
Water Quality rescind the Permit or request that DWQ reissue the Permit to another party, if
necessary.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of
your NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in
Mooresville if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing any
assistance.

t. OF
APR 2 9 2OOs
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This perrnit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina
and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended). Based on the Permit
renewal application you submitted, this permit was prepared with the understanding that no treatment system has been
installed at the site.
This permit includes no major changes from the draft permit sent to you on March 2, 2005. Note that
your current NPDES Permit, which was issued on November 6, 2000, required that an Engineering Alternative Analysis
(EAA) be submitted to the NPDES Unit by May 29, 2001. As of this date no EAA has been received in this office.
Please submit this EAA to the NPDES Unit thirty days after issuance of this permit, if not sooner. If the EAA is not
submitted, this office may pursue enforcement action against the Catawba. County Historical Association for violation of
an NPDES permit condition.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this
letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150E of the North Carolina General
Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699
6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require
modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain
other perrnits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land
Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Bob Guerra at telephone number [phone],

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

4. Alternatives Analysis:
a. Spray Irrigation: Insufficient land area available, restrictive topography.
b. Regional Sewer: None presently available to the site nor are any proposed in the
forseeable future.
c. Subsurface Disposal: Restrictive (unsuitable) topography immediately adjacent to
the site, however, there may be suitable soils available off -site (see Part IV).
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee, the Catawba County Historical Association (CCHA), has applied for permit
renewal. The proposed WWTP will serve the Murray's Mill historical site and a future park (tobe
named Heritage Park), which will include a restaurant. Use of the proposed WWT facilities will
most certainly be seasonal, with wastewater flows expected to be considerably higher in the summer
months and lower in the winter. In a discussion with Mr. Paul Beatty with the CCHA, plans have
been drawn up for the park, however, the CCHA is waiting to see whether they will receive grant
funding, which they have applied for, prior to beginning any construction.
The current NPDES permit contains the following language:
A.(2). ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS (EAA) REQUIREMENT
Within 180 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall complete
(according to guidance provided by the Division) and submit an EAA to the NPDES Unit.
The EAA must be reviewed and approved by the NPDES Unit prior to the submission of any
Authorization to Construct request for this facility.
The cover letter transmitting the current permit contained a paragraph that required the
submittal of the EAA described above to the NPDES Unit by May 29, 2001. In the next sentence,
however, it says that a completed EAA must be reviewed and approved by the NPDES Unit prior to
the submission of an Authorization to Construct request for this facility. In reading both Section
A.(2) in the permit, and in the paragraph on the transmittal letter, there appears to be some
confusion on the part of the permittee, who was under the impression that the submission of the
EAA was only required if an ATC request was pending. Such being the case, there has been no
EAA submitted to date nor is there a copy of the original EAA that should have been performed at
the time the original permit application was received. Although property immediately adjacent to
the Murray's Mill site is unsuitable for subsurface disposal primarily based on topography, there
may be nearby; undeveloped, property that could be purchased for a reasonable price and used for
surface or subsurface disposal. Therefore, the renewed permit should again contain an EAA
request, however it should be pointed out (in bold) in the transmittal letter, and worded carefully so
that the permittee understands that the EAA submittal is not dependant on whether or not the CCHA
is preparing to submit an ATC request, but is required in conjunction with this permit reissuance.

Pending receipt and approval of the draft permit, it is recommended that the subject Permit
be renewed as requested. If the results of the EAA reveals that there is suitable property adjacent to
the site that could be acquired and used for the construction of a non-dicharge WWT system, then
the Division should notify the permittee that any request for an ATC will not be approved unless the
applicant can demonstrate that funding cannot be obtained to purchase and/or construct a suitable
non -discharge disposal option. The permittee should be allowed a period of six (6) months to
complete the EAA from the date of permit reissuance.

Subject: NPDES Permit No. NC0069345
Murray's Mill Historical Site
Catawba County, NC
Dear Mr. Beatty:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0069345 was issued on November
6, 2000 for the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State from your facility.
The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and the liabilities
in the event of failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have
not already done so, it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular
importance are Pages 4 and 5.
Pages 4 and 5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your
discharge. Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section
headed "Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types
and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or operation), you must
initiate the required monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on reporting forms
furnished or approved by this Agency. If you have not received these forms, they should
be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as
possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting form (DEM Form MR-1),
plus instructions for completing the form. It is imperative that all applicable parts be
completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee may
be required for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our Raleigh
Office. It is imperative that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent enforcement
action or possible revocation of your permit.
The remaining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and special
conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s).
The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance,
bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a
certified wastewater treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater.,,

facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of
wastewater being treated or discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater
treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the
Permittee to enforcement action pursuant. to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina
General Statutes. A civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation (and/or criminal'penalties)
may be assessed for such violations. I you find at any time that you are unable to comply
with the terms and conditions of the Permit, you should contact this .Office immediately. A
Special Order by Consent (SOC) may be necessary while pursuing action to obtain
compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period. Permits
are not automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later
than 180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit.
This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not
automatically transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you
should request that the Division of Water Quality rescind the Permit or request that DWQ
reissue the Permit to another party, if necessary.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance
of your NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in
Mooresville if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing
any assistance.

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. _ DEFINITIONS
1. - 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, Health and Natural Resources.
3. EMC

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.

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 I/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of
greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals
evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time
of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent
grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a
24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must'be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual
values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the
individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is
equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values.
For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one
(1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration
times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.

Part II
Page 4 of 14
10. 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. Duty to Comply

10. Receiving Stream or Affected Surface Waters: Balls Creek
a. Classification: C
b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Catawba 030832
c. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: The proposed
discharge would enter the receiving stream 75 yards below a concrete dam, which
is part of the Murray's Mill complex. The receiving stream appears to have continous
flow even though the stream flow is impeded as a result of the dam.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1. Volume of Wastewater: 0.0125 MGD
2. Current permitted capacity: 0.0125 MGD
3. Actual treatment capacity: N/A (Facility not yet built)

6. Possible Toxic Impacts to surface waters: The permittee has yet to decide whether chlorine
will be used for disinfection.
7. Sludge Handling and Disposal Scheme: At this time sludge disposal has not been finalized.
A sludge disposal scheme must be approved before issuance of an Authorization to
Construct.
6. Treatment Plant Classification: Class II (based on proposed treatment facilities - no change
from previous rating).

1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grants Funds (municipals only)? Public
funding has been requested for the construction of this facility.
2. Special monitoring requests: None at this time.
3. Additional effluent limits requests: None at this time.

Page Three
4. Alternatives Analysis:
a. Spray Irrigation: Insufficient land area available.
b. Regional Sewer: None presently available to the site.
c. Subsurface Disposal: Restrictive (unsuitable) topography immediately adjacent to
the site, however, there may be suitable soils available off -site. The applicant should
be required to explore this option, including a cost analysis and soils report (see Part
IV).
5. Air Quality and/or Groundwater concerns or hazardous materials utilized at this facility.that
may impact water quality, air quality or groundwater? There are no known groundwater, air
quality, or hazardous materials concerns.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee, the Catawba County Historical Association (CCHA), has applied for permit
renewal. The proposed WWTP will serve the Murray's Mill historical site and a future park (to be
named Heritage Park), which will include a restaurant. Use of the proposed WWT facilities will
most certainly be seasonal, with wastewater flows expected to be considerably higher in the summer
months and lower in the winter. In a discussion with Mr. Paul Beatty with the CCHA, plans have
been drawn up for the park, however, the CCHA is waiting to see whether they will receive grant
funding, which they have applied for, prior to beginning construction.
MRO files do not contain information regarding the Alternatives Analysis that should have
been performed at the original permit submittal. Although property immediately adjacent to the
Mill site is unsuitable for subsurface disposal based on topography, there may be adjacent property
that could be purchased for a reasonable price and used for surface or subsurface disposal.
Therefore, prior to reissuance of this permit, the permittee should reevaluate surface and subsurface
disposal options, both on -site and on off -site properties within a reasonable distance of the proposed
park.
Pending receipt and approval of the WLA, the above requested information, and the
determination that a discharge to surface waters is the best disposal option, it is recommended that
the subject Permit be renewed as requested.

of factors, including mandatory deadlines in the statutes which govern our program,

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.
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 dailrdischarges 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
b. 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.

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
interval&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 CH( Part 116 pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.

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. 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, Iack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper
operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this
permit.

control of wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in
a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State
or navigable waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal

Part II
Page 10 of 14
regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503,
any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be
reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40
CFR Part 503. The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the
Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the
regulation, even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee
shall notify the 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 ISA, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability,
to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power
failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of
inadequately treated effluent.
SECTION D. M_ONITORING AND RECORDS

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee, the Catawba County Historical Association
(CCHA), has applied for permit renewal. The proposed WWTP will
serve the Murray's Mill historical site and a possible restaurant.
Use of the proposed WWT facilities will most certainly be seasonal,
with wastewater flows expected to be higher in the summer months
and lower in the winter.
There are no immediate plans for construction of the proposed
WWTP. The CCHA has been negotiating with the NCDOT for the past few
years regarding the location of the SR 1003 bridge, which will
eventually replace the existing bridge located immediately adjacent
to the Mill. The proposed bridge location will affect the time
frame for implementation of the site's expansion plans. Approval of
the bridge's proposed relocation is expected later this year.
Construction of the bridge would begin sometime in 1996.
It is recommended that the subject Permit be renewed as
requested.

PART 11
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 II
Page 2 of 14
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum'by.the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is' defined as "Annual Average"
in Part I of the permit.
b. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum
of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average
monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for
samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" under "Other Units" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum
of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided
by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week
(arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is
equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that
calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric
mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is
identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Units" in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration
of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified
as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Units" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average
yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples
collected during a calendar year.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable
amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior. to discharge
averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a
calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the
discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.

Part II
Page 3 of 14
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 (I) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be
no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall
be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a
detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be
collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in
number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in
no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6)
hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b.- Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.

Part 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 Dav
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

4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a
treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or
established or operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage
to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial
and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur
in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss
caused by delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations
to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient
operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of
this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;
including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass
as required in Part II, E. b. 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;

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:submitfed notices:as requiied-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 inParagraph 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:
(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

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Catawba County Historical Society is proposing to install a package -type
extended aeration WWTP to serve the Murrays Mill historical site in eastern Catawba
County. The site consistsprimarily of an old mill (including a concrete dam
and water wheel), an old mill house (containing historical artifacts) and an old
mill store (also containing historical artifacts). These structures are being
renovated for future use by the public as tourist sites.
Poor soils in the area have eliminated the possibility of constructing
non -discharge wastewater treatment facilities. Also, at least seven (7) nearby
residences.have expressed an interest in connecting to the proposed facilities
due to problems experienced with their existing septic tank systems. One nearby
residence has also expressed a desire to convert to a restaurant with a 100 seat
capacity. Using the design flow data included in the application package and which
appears to be adequate, a wastewater flow of approx. 9300 gpd could be expected
during peak flow periods. The WWTP, which is being donated to the historical

society by the Catawba County School System, has a 0.0125 MGD wastewater treatment
capacity. Based on the proposed peak design flow of 9300 gpd only approx. 75%
of the proposed WWTP's capacity will be utilized. It is anticipated by the staff
of the MRO that during off-season months (Oct. - March) the wastewater flow generated
at this site will be reduced by at least 50%± which may effect operations of the
wastewater treatment facilities.
For this reason, the addition of equalization facilities may be necessary.
If a restaurant connection is made to the proposed facilities, grease removal
should also be included.
The site appeared suitable for the construction of the proposed wastewater
treatment facilities. Some restrictions regarding topography do exist; however,
sufficient suitable area does exist for WWTP installation.
Pending receipt and approval of a WLA and provided the proposed wastewater
treatment facilities are shown to be adequate to comply with the proposed
limitations, it is recommended that an NPDES Permit be issued.

ENGINEERING REPORT
FOR
MURRAYS MILL
CATAWBA COUNTY
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT Mu rays Mill is a istaricai Site acquired
by the Catawba County Historical Association, and has been, for
several years, in the process of renovation and restoration. The
water powered mill and old mill store has already attracted numerous
visitors. The Association is expecting a large turnout of visitors
in the 1987 spring and summer.
Poor soil conditions indicate that septic tanks and nitrifications
fields are not the most feasible way to treat and dispose waste-
water from the proposed public and private rest rooms. The solution
is to install a package -type wastewater treatment plant.
With the possibility of effecient wastewater treatment, several
neighb©ring residents may be interested in connecting into the
system. Also one near by residence may be considered in convert-
ing to a restaurant.

TYPE OF TR,&TMENT AND DESCRIPTION The proposed wastewater treatment„
plant will be an extended aeration system - "Package Plant". The
system will include an aeration chamber, clarifier or solids settling
chamber, sludge holding -aerobic digester, and post chlorination.
Using the design capacity of 12,5U0 GPO, the minimum component
volumes are-
AERATION 12,500 Gals 1671 CF
CLARIFIER 2,084 Gals 279 CF
SLUDGE HOLDING 2,338 Gals 313 CF
CHLORINATION 261 Gals 35 CF

WATER Potable water will be supplied by a well water system.
