Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Present for the inspection were Jimmy Fredell with Pine Mtn POA and Juanita James with James and
James Environmental.
The chlorine contact chamber has excessive sludge buildup and a blanket near the surface was
apparent. When asked when solids had been removed from the WWTP, it was estimated —10 yrs.
This level of solids should not have been in the contact chamber; we discussed pumping the chlorine
contact chamber. Mr. Fredell reported back to the inspector via email on 5/1712017 that the chlorine
contact chamber had been pumped on 5/16/2017 by Asbury Septic.
Since flows are reported from the influent pump cycles, we discussed checking the flows at the
effluent pipe. Staff reported back to the inspector via email on 5/17/2017 that a bucket stop watch
method at the effluent revealed 1/2-3/4 gallon/minute.

Subject: wastewater irrigation, non -discharging permitting
Dear Bev Price,
You have been in communication with Fred Waugh in reference to Gateway Mountain Springs Chapel.
We, Pollution Control Systems Inc., are working with Fred to provide the sewage treatment plant for his
facility.
Initially we had proposed a secondary treatment plant but the question came up questioning the effluent
requirement prior to discharge to his proposed pond. Namely what are the effluent limits allowed from the
treatment process.
The secondary treatment process will produce <30/30 BODS and SS. If greater treatment is required prior to
discharge then we would need to add a tertiary filter to the system.
Can you let me know what the effluent requirements would be for his facility?
We are not involved in the pond nor the irrigation system at all, just need to get discharge to pond to meet
requirements.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
Sincerely,
Charles

Dear Bev:
We have been in contact with Mr. Fred Waugh / Gateway Mountain Springs Chapel regarding his need for a
wastewater treatment system. I have briefly reviewed the information you forwarded to our Mr. Charles
Longbottom on May 3, 2016. Mr. Waugh has asked us to address two items:
1) The requirements of a package wastewater treatment system whereas the effluent will be discharged into
a pond. Once in the pond, fresh water will be added continuously. His ultimate goal will be to use the pond
water/plant effluent for irrigation. We see that the discharge limitations show less than 30 SS and BOD,
although sometimes in our experience a tertiary filter is also required. Please advise us on this. Note that we
will only be doing the wastewater treatment system to discharge into the pond, Mr. Waugh will have to obtain
services from other sources for the re -use end.
2) Mr. Waugh has indicated that he is paying an excessive amount of money for an Engineer. We wonder if
you could give us the names of some Engineers you've worked with who may be able to help him at a more
reasonable price.
We do sincerely appreciate your assistance in this matter. Looking forward to your reply,

Dear Mr. Longbottom,
The design criteria for Wastewater Irrigation Systems can be found in 15A NCAC 02T .0505 Here is the link to the Rule
http•//deg nc gov/about/divisions/water-resources/water-resources-rules/nc-administrative-code-statutes Scroll down
to Subchapter 02T— Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters. This is for Wastewater Irrigation not Reclaimed
Water. When I spoke with Mr. Waugh, he was unsure of the type of system that they were going to permit. The design
criteria for reclaimed water would be different; reclaimed can be conjunctive or non -conjunctive. Let me know if you
have any questions.
Thanks,
Bev

Permit NCO036935
A. (3.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and
specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then pernittees must submit
DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this permit
(Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5) (a)]
Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall begin
reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring
Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data
and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is
compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required
to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete
the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer
printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DENR / DWR / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being
physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a
temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring
data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1. 1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director.
Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be submitted in
writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be
required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid for twelve (12) months and
shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the
permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division.
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting
requirements is found on the following web page:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/i u/p edmr
Regardless of the submission method, 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 last day of the month following the
commencement of discharge.
Page 5 of 7

Permit NC0036935
2. Si¢natory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and supersedes Section B. (11.) (d)1
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in Part II,
Section B. (I 1.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part II, Section B.
(I1.)(b). A person, and not a position, must be delegated signatory authority for eDMR reporting purposes.
For eDMR submissions, the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an eDMR user account
and login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more information on North Carolina's eDMR system,
registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit the following web page:

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 sununation 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 detennined 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

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. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also
"Composite Sample," above.)

Dear Mr. Fredell:
Resources
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
On January 21, 2015, Linda Wiggs conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the Pine Mountain Lakes WWTP.
Juanita James was present during the inspection. The facility was found to be non -compliant with permit NCO036935 due
to sampling proceedures (Monitoring Requirement A.(L)). Based on conversations between you and Juanita James,
which I concur, it has been decided that sampling comparison will take place at the outfall of the W WTP and the outfall of
the pond. These results need to be shared with Linda Wiggs on a monthly basis; they can be sent to her informally via
email. Regular reporting is still required. These sample results will assist in evaluating the best course of action to be
taken during the permit renewal phase. The permit expires July 31, 2015; therefore this additional sampling should begin
immediately.
Also included is a name change form that needs to be completed and submitted.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for observations and comments. If you or your staff have any questions,
please call Linda Wiggs at 828-296-4500.

Present for the inspection was Juanita James of James and James Environmental.
Permit:
The permit renewal has been received. The permit expires at the end of July 2015. Changes to this
permit will be suggested by the region and it is suggested the permittee make comments when
requested. Regional comments will include: adding the language Influent OR Effluent to the Flow
Sample Location and to make all chemical parameters Sample Type be grab on the Effluent Limits and
Monitoring Requirements (A.(1.)). When the facility's flow increases to the level of 0.0696 MGD as
listed in Effluent Limits and Monitoring Requirements A(2)then the facility will be required to do the
composite sampling.
Sampling:
That being said the way the current permit is written, the sampling method and sampling location are
not compliant. The permit requires composite sampling for BOD, TSS and Nutrients; however grab
samples are being collected. Proper effluent sampling for reporting is to be collected below all
treatment units. The polishing pond is being used as a treatment unit; therefore effluent samples need
to be obtained below the pond.
The permit also states the flow measurement will be continuous recorder at the effluent. Flows are
measured at the influent pump station.
On February 6, 2015, the inspector spoke with Jimmy Fredell, who has been in conversation with the
ORC Juanita James, regarding the non -compliant status. They have already discussed sampling at
both locations (outfall of package plant and outfall of pond) to assess if the pond is "polishing" or not.
The permit expires at the end of July 2015. These sample comparisons will need to be reported to the
inspector monthly in order to assist with permit renewal recommendations.
A generator is not onsite. If power goes off water will not be supplied to the homes.
Change of Ownership/Name Change Form: The permit owner is listed as Beverly Schwing. It was
stated this is no longer the correct POA representative as owner. I have included in the inspection
report the ownership/name change form.

Hi Juanita and Jimmy,
Attached is a cc of the new permit, without the standard conditions pages. Jimmy you
should have received this in August. Sorry for the layout of the scanned copy. The
permit reflects the items we discussed changing.
Since February, April consistently, the operator has been collecting effluent samples
from the package plants outfall, as well as the polishing pond's outfall. The samples
were taken in concert to see if the polishing pond would render the effluent samples
non -compliant. Based on all the sample data submitted to me the pond does not appear
to have a negative impact on the sample results.
Obtaining samples from both locations is no longer necessary. The effluent samples are
required to be taken after all treatment units; the polishing pond is a treatment unit,
therefore all samples are to be taken at the pond's discharge/outfall pipe.
If you decide you want to no longer use the polishing pond and install new components
(ex. dechlor, discharge pipe from the package plant) you will have to go through the
permit modification process.
Have a good weekend,
andm G

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.
B ass
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 712009

NPDES 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 15 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 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
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 122.2)
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. 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).

Hi Maureen,
I met with the contract operator, Juanita James and the maintenance man, Jimmy Fredell, and did a compliance
evaluation inspection at this facility today (7-12-10).
Everything looks good. Attached is that inspection report.
Here's what I would change:
> WWTP location: off of Wards Gap Road (NCSR 1901), in Connelly Springs, NC
Supplement to permit cover page: see attachment
Continue to operate:
0.020 MGD (0.0696 MGD after ATC) extended aeration WWTP (Tipton Environmental International,
Inc.) with: influent pump station; manual bar screen; 7750 gallon flow equalization basin with Geyser
air-lift pump; flow control box; 21,392 gallon aeration basin; dual hoppered clarifiers with a total
volume of 4394 gallons; 1789 gallon aerobic digestor; tablet chlorinator; 650 gallon chlorine contact
chamber; concrete junction box; 500,000 gallon polishing / chlorine dissipation pond with outlet
structure; 114 feet of 12-inch gravity line to outfall.
(Note: There is no dechlorination due to 25-day detention time in pond.)
I feel that everything else in the attached documents is accurate.
ARO recommends renewal of these permits.
Is this email sufficient?
Hope you had a great vacation!

Subject: DRAFT NPDES PERMIT
Permit Number NCO036935
Pine Mountain Lakes WWTP
Burke County
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft very
carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
Your permit is among several in the Catawba River Basin that the Division has targeted for
expedited renewal. No major changes have taken place to the Division's management strategy for the
Catawba River. The Division can therefore expedite renewal of permits in the Catawba River Basin
whose operations have not changed since the last permit renewal, and whose compliance records are
good.
Please note that the Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 µg/L to be in
compliance with the permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values
reported by a North Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall below
50 µg/L.
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in mid -August, with an effective
date of September 1, 2010.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, call me at [phone].

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
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
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
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 1.
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. Ty= of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge
and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow
recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at
no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of
greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals
evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time
of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent
grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a
24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual
values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the
individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is
equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values.
For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one
(1).
c. 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.

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 permttee 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 I1, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part 11, 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.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of
wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215J 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. 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 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the
discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by

ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOuRc Es
Please find attached subject permittee's request for A to C (for an as -
built package plant). Pine Mountain Property Owners' NPDES Permit allows
them to discharge 69,600 gpd to Jacobs Fork Creek. The new 20,000-gpd
plant reflected in the attached plans was set along side an existing
WWTP.
The existing WWTP is composed of two 35,000-gpd package plants in
parallel. The 35,000-gpd-plants are old (appear to be circa. 1970s) with
traveling clarifiers. The traveling clarifiers had ceased to function
years ago and the above ground plants were rusted to the point of being
structurally unsound.
The Pine Mountain Project never reached the level of development
originally forecast. Last year (Jan. -Nov., 2002) the highest monthly
average flow was 3400 gpd. Consequently, the new 20,000 gpd plant will
be adequate for the foreseeable future. The project has new owners who
are trying to increase the level of development and therefore wish to
maintain the current 69,600 gpd flow allocation. Since the permit allows
69,600 gpd of flow and the new WWTP is 20,000 gpd in capacity, the permit

RE: Pine Mountain WWTP
NSPDES Permit # NCO036935
Dear Mr. Reid;
At the request of the Pine Mountain Property Owners; I have been asked to inspect the new
W WTP "as installed" and to certify as to its as -built condition. I will also address the Plant's treatment
efficiency based upon the current permit limits. This report of my findings is being submitted to your
office for permit compliance and in accordance with NCDENR requirements.
While at the site, during my field inspection, I took general measurements to verify the Package
Plant size and to confirm that it matched the construction plans that I had received. I obtained a set of
plans, and a W WTP Manual while I was at the site. During my visit I also took pictures and examined the
required effluent limits letter issued on the NPDES Permit.
The W WTP is feed by a Gorman Rupp Pump Station that was installed with the first (original)
W W'1P. The pump station appeared to be working efficiently and based upon my interview with the
Operator, Mr. Thomas Tallent, Pine Mountain has not experienced any problems with its operation or
maintenance. The Package Plant is a 20,000 GPD Extended Aeration unit manufactured by Tipton
Environmental International, Inc. It was placed on a new concrete pad located parallel to the old plant,
which has been completely removed from operation. The "switch -over", from the old plant, was made by
re -directing the pump station force main and properly connecting the new effluent line to an existing
junction box.
The old plant utilized a chlorine dissipater pond, which was located just prior to discharging into
the stream. The new package plant was constructed so that its discharge would continue to flow thru this
pond via an old concrete junction box.
I have included, with this letter, certain basic calculations to indicate and verify that the plant's
components are properly sized and adequate to meet the intended effluent limits. I have also included

copies of the plans used to construct the W WTP as well as the Specifications from Tipton, the
manufacturer.
Please review these documents for compliance with the NCDENR permit requirements. If you
should have any questions or need additional information, please give me a call. I look forward to hearing
from you concerning this project.

Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen in the quarter ending June, 2009. Also mentioned in the letter was
with regard to an elevated Fecal Coliform.
The Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen were collected immediately the fust of July, 2009 when
the oversight was detected. To combat the fecal coliform elevation, we increased the chlorine dosage to
accommodate the detention time in the lagoon before discharge.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and will be more diligent in the

January through December, 2008 F c o 2
DENR - WATER QUALITY
POINT SOURCE BRANCH
Preface
On July 20, 1999, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified House Bill 1160, the
Clean Water Act of 1999, which placed significant new reporting requirements on those
entities that own or operate wastewater treatment and collection systems. Specific items
included:
1. A Spill Response Plan
2. Sewer Collection System Operation & Maintenance Plan
3. Annual Performance Report
These new requirements became effective October 1, 1999.
This report is designed to meet the minimum requirements for the Annual Performance
Report established by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DEHNR) as set forth in their guidance document dated October 19, 1999.
This law was established to provide a mechanism for public oversight (and hopefully, to
instill public confidence) in owners and operators of wastewater treatment systems and in
their efforts to protect the waters of the state.

Mountain Estates located at the Pine Mountain Lakes on Pine Mountain Dr. near
Connelly Springs in Burke County.
II. Performance
All operating parameters were in compliance with NPDES permit limits for
2008 with the exception of May 2008. The power at the WWTP was off on May
12,13 and 14th for maintenance and a generator was run for 3 hours each day
which resulted in a high TSS sample on the 15th. The plant returned to normal
as soon as the maintenance was completed.
Note: Pine Mountain Property Owners Association takes pride in our efforts to
protect the local environment and the high quality of the waters in the local
streams.

Dear Mr. Edwards:
This letter is in response to the NOV sent by your office on December 3, 2007
concerning the monitoring report violations for the June 2007 monitoring period.
Please find enclosed a copy of our October 16, 2007 letter to Ms. Janet Cantwell addressing
these issues. The failure to collect the Total Nitrogen and the Total Phosphorus was the fault of
Kace Environmental, Inc. These two parameters are quarterly analysis and were overlooked
during the appropriate sampling period. We have since put into place additional safeguards to
insure all required testing is performed during the required period.
A review of our copy of the June 2007 DMR shows the compliance status was indicated. If this
is not correct, please notify me.
I hope this answers any concerns you may have about this plant. If you have additional questions
or I can assist you in any way please feel free to contact me at 828-657-1810 at your
convenience.

Dear Janet:
Pursuant to our telephone conversation today, attached are amended copies of the DMR
for March (flow), April (flow) and May (flow & compliance).
I believe you also mentioned an amended DMR for June was needed for compliance but
our copy shows the box checked so I am not including that. Please let me know if this is
incorrect.
Additionally, the TN-TP for the second quarter of 2007 was not done. This certainly was
not an intentional oversight, but due to the busy spring schedule we overlooked this
requirement. In the very near future we have a compliance officer coming on board with
us to prevent this type incident and to review reports for completion prior to submittal.
Feel free to contact me if any other information is needed.

This letter is in response to the NOV sent by your office on October 18, 2007 concerning
the May 2007 DMR Fecal Coliform Violation.
After discussing this problem with both the ORC and the person responsible for taking
the samples, we have come to the conclusion that the C12 tablets in the feeder had bridged over
and the proper kill had not been obtained. As you can see, a second sample was taken two days
later with satisfactory results. Both the ORC and the sample personnel have been instructed to
insure the tablets are settled in the tubes at all times at this and other plants in their route. We
apologize for this occurrence and believe we have taken the appropriate steps to correct this
problem.
I hope this answers any concerns you may have about this plant. If you have additional
questions or I can assist you in any way please contact me at your convenience.

Dear Ms. Schwing:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from
the inspection conducted on March 13, 2007. The facility appeared to be in compliance
with Permit # NC0036935. There is an issue, however, which needs addressing. Access
to the top of the plant using the ladder, as it is now, is very difficult and dangerous. It is
doubly difficult when trying to carry equipment necessary to run the plant. Please
respond in writing within twenty days with a timetable for addressing this issue.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and
comments. If you or your staff have any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500, Ext.

Darren Vallini/ORC assisted in the inspection of this facility.
The previous compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on August 16, 2006, by James Reid.
A review of the files indicates that the permit expires July 31, 2010.
The log book was present on -site.
The effluent was clear.
This facility appears to be well operated and maintained and the operator is doing a good
job.
It would be advisable to provide a safe access up the ladder to the top of the facility. It is extremely difficult
and dangerous to try to carry equipment necessary for the operation of this facility up the ladder.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Return sludge pumps had been returned to a satisfactory state of operation (versus the clogged condition
observed on June 16, 2006). The dismantled pump from the influent pump station had been replaced with a
new unit.
Effluent fecal coliform exceeded the facility's daily maximum limitation (sample value 560 versus da. max
limit of 400). If the problem persists, the facility may need to increase the chlorine dosage and add
dechlorination at the outlet of the polishing pond. Of course, ducks and geese that frequent the polishing
pond may have caused the spike in coliform count measured during the inspection.

SUBJECT: Compliance Sampling Inspection
Pine Mountain Lakes WWTP
Permit No: NCO036935
Burke County
Dear Ms. Schwing:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Sampling Inspection Report from the
inspection conducted on May 10, 2005. The facility was found to be marginally in compliance with
permit NC0036935. The following items must be addressed to ensure compliant operation:
The facility's permit requires "continuous" flow monitoring and recording; the former
operator used water records to comply with the permit's requirements. The current
operator uses an "instantaneous" technique for flow measurement. The facility must
measure flow "continuously" in accordance with the requirements of its NPDES Discharge
Permit.
Flooding occurring in fall of year 2004 destroyed the structure from which representative
grab samples had been obtained. "Representative" grab samples must be obtained in
accordance with the requirements of NPDES Permit Number NC0036935.
Please reply in writing on or before July 8. 2005 describing the manner and schedule
required for Pine Mountain Property Owners to address the above listed items. Kindly refer to the
enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. If you or your staff have
any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500,
Sincerely,
PJames e R Reid
