Facility Summary
This facility is a minor facility (flow < 1 MGD) discharging 100% domestic wastewater with a design
capacity of 0.010 MGD. This WWTP utilizes the following treatment units:
• Septic tank flow equalization
• Bar screen
• Aeration basin with blower
• Clarifier with skimmer and sludge return
• Tablet Chlorine disinfection
• Chlorine contact basin
• Tablet Dechlorination
Renewal Summary
This renewal contains the following proposed changes:
• Updated the Supplement to Cover Sheet with the HUC and correct stream segment of 5-16-(1),
which is currently classified as B; Tr. Previous permit incorrectly had the receiving stream listed as
segment 5-16-(11.5), which is further downstream from the discharge.
• Updated the facility classification to Class II — see email correspondence with Maureen Kinney
(Operator Certification Program) and Daniel Boss (ARO).
• Updated the Ammonia Nitrogen (Nov 1 — Mar 31) limits in the effluent table in Section A. (1.) so
that they are no greater than 2x the summer (Apr 1 — Oct 31) limits, as per current permitting
policy.
• Updated Section A. (2.) Electronic Reporting of Discharge Monitoring Reports to reflect current
federal requirements.

All — I'm happy to issue a classification letter for this facility and correct what is in BIMS so there are
no conflicts and everyone has it in writing for their records. I think I misinterpreted the system and
saw "septic tank."
Thank you Dan for confirming, regional office input is always valuable in making determinations.
I'll copy everyone once I draft the classification letter.
Sydney — do you want to include the letter with your draft? Or do you prefer I send it under
separate cover?
Thanks all!

I don't know what the story is behind the classification history, but this should be a Class II facility

Subject: FW: Facility Classification Check - Balsam Center WWTP
Hi Linda,
I'm currently working on the draft permit renewal for Balsam Center for Hope and Recovery WWTP
(NC0032361) and noticed an inconsistency with the existing monitoring frequency (permitted as a
Class II facility) and BIMS (showing the facility as Class I). Maureen was unable to find anything
showing the facility was Class II except for some old designation forms (see her response below).
Would ARO happen to have any letters or knowledge on why the permit and BIMS appear to be in
conflict?
I dug through the physical file from the file room in Archdale and found a 1991 WLA which states the
facility is Class I per the facility classification determination worksheet attached to it. However, I also
found an old Staff Review and Evaluation sheet attached to the 1996 permit issuance which states
the facility is Class II and proposes the change in monitoring frequency for BOD, TSS and Fecal from
2/Month to Weekly (which follows 15A NCAC 02B .0508). There's also an email from Wanda Frazier
in 2010 stating "Classification: Class II facility (not: Class I — as indicated in your email below)".
It's my guess that the facility was originally classified as Class I, but somehow was either re-classified
to Class II (which we can't find a letter to confirm this) or the permit writer documented it as Class II

in 1996, either purposefully or in error, and the monitoring frequency hasn't changed since then. I'm
hoping ARO might have some other information that can help shed some light on this.
Thanks,
Sydney Carpenter

Hi Sydney,
I don't have anything showing it was a class II. It appears to be a WW-I; per permit.
Perhaps the regional office has some history on this?? Central Files permit file?
I've been here since 2015 so if it's not in BIMS or the designation files, I can't help. I will say a look at
the designation forms that we have from 1995-2004 note WW-II. I don't know if that is an error on
their part or not. They would have (or should have) received a letter of classification and then a
letter of reclassification. If they have neither...maybe the regional office is a good source for the
history (Linda Wiggs).

Hi Maureen,
I'm currently drafting the permit renewal for Balsam Center WWTP (NC0032361) and noticed that
while BIMS says the facility is WW-1, the monitoring frequency for the limits in the permit as well as
some older documents in the permit file show that the facility was permitted as a WW-2. Can you
confirm which is the correct classification?
I've attached a copy of the old (existing) permit, as well as their renewal application, to this email for
your reference.

Thank you Sydney. I will get this over to the facility.
One more change for Evergreen. Sadly our maintenance person, Don Smith, passed away last
Friday. He was wonderful and we will really miss him.
You can address any future letters to me.

Hi Denise,
I've ensured that our system has 28 A Oak St as the mailing address for Balsam Center WWTP. If you
have any more issues receiving documents, please let us know!
The final permit for the Balsam Center WWTP (NC0032361) has been issued. Please respond to this
email confirming that you received the attached document(s), were able to open and view the
document(s) and have saved/printed a copy for your records.
Thanks,

Thanks Sydney. Yes, those are the ones. Our agency maintenance person has been out with
Covid and is now in the ICU...so I need to make sure all my bases are covered.
Environmental Inc. said that they get the forms from you guys. If they can still do that for the
monitoring, the rest can come to me. I did contact the Asheville office about a month ago
because the information on the form was incorrect. They have the Evergreen address as 100
Silver Bluff, Canton NC 28716 and the phone listed as 828-648-2044. The rest of the
information (facility name and number) is correct.
The mailing address for the Evergreen Foundation is 28A Oak St., Waynesville, NC 28786 and
the office phone is 828-456-8005
This past year we didn't get the renewal and when I heard through Environment Inc that it was
past due, we had just a couple of days to get it in. I just don't want another glitch like that.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Denise,

Monthly discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) can be submitted electronically by Environmental Inc.
Are those the monitoring forms you're talking about?
This request is mostly for main permitting documents, such as the final permit once it's been
renewed.
Thanks,

Will you continue to send the forms for monitoring to our monitoring company,
Environmental Inc.?
I don't mind you sending the annual permit renewal, the invoice, the approved permit and any
general correspondence to me but the monthly form would still need to go to them.
Please let me know. Thank you.

Hello,
In order to provide more convenience, control, and security to our permittees and assist them in
processing their transactions, The Division of Water Resources is currently transitioning towards
electronic correspondence. This will hopefully provide more efficient service to our permittees and
other partners, and will allow us to more effectively process and track documents. We are writing to
ask you for your approval of the transmittal of documents related to your permitting and related
activities with the Division in an electronic format. Documents will be emailed to the appropriate
contact person(s) in your organization in a PDF format.
Please respond to me through email with verification that transmittal of your documents in an
electronic manner is acceptable to you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks,
