Dear Mr.Clement:
The Division of Water Resources(the Division)hereby issues the attached NPDES permit for the subject facility.
This permit 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
October 15,2007,or as subsequently amended.
The Division understands that you have made no significant changes to your facility since the last permit renewal.
We have made the following changes for the final permit:
1. The facility classification Grade II Biological WPCS was added to the effluent page.
2. The facility map has been updated
3. Regulatory citations have been added.
4. Parameter codes have been updated in Section A. (1.).
5. Electronic reporting of discharge monitoring reports (eDMR)has been added in Section A. (2.).
During the mandatory 30-day public comment period,the Division received ten(10)public comments.Following
the public comment period,the Division reviewed all pertinent comments on your draft permit.A comment
received from the Southern Environmental Law Center noted that no Authorization to Construct(ATC)permit
has been applied for since the previous permit was issued in accordance with 15A NCAC 02H.0138 (a). In
response to this comment,additional information was requested on December 21,2017 and June 20,2018 for a
current Engineering Alternatives Analysis(EAA).An EAA is required in order to process a new discharge
application in accordance with 15A NCAC 02H.0103 (16).
In response to the additional information request,a current EAA was prepared and submitted by Warren
Consulting&Design,PLLC on February 16,2018 and August 6,2018.A review of the EAA on September 21,

2018 found that the following engineering alternatives are cost prohibitive and/or technically infeasible:
connection to the Town of Boone,wastewater reuse,onsite subsurface systems, drip irrigation,and spray
irrigation.Therefore,the Division concurs with the consultant that the discharge option is the most viable based
on cost.
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 permits which may be required by the Division of Water Resources or any other Federal, State,or
Local governmental permits that may be required.
If you have questions,or if we can be of further service,please contact Derek Denard at

A. (2.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS
[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports(DMRs)and program reports.
The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21,2015.
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 Requirements [Supersedes Section D.(2.)and Section E.(5.)(a)(
The permittee shall report 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 DEQ/Division of Water Resources/Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
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. See"How to Request
a Waiver from Electronic Reporting"section below.
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.
Starting on December 21,2020,the permittee must electronically report the following compliance
monitoring data and reports,when applicable:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
• Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and
• Clean Water Act(CWA) Section 316(b)Annual Reports.
Page 4 of 6
NPDES Permit NC0070408
The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division(see"How to Request a Waiver
from Electronic Reporting"section below).
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9),the permittee must identify the initial recipient at the time of each
electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website resources to identify the initial recipient
for the electronic submission.
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the entity(EPA or
the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program)that is the designated entity for receiving
electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type of
electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic
reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule is found at:
http://wlvw2.epa.govicomplianceifinal-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-npdes-electronic-
reporting-rule.
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the"Reporting Requirements"section above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an electronic
reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request to the Division.
Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers 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
submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not exceed 5 years and
shall thereupon expire. At such time,monitoring data and reports shall be submitted electronically to the
Division unless the permittee re-applies for and is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the
Division. Approved electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved
reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the period that
the approved reporting waiver request is effective.
Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are found on the
following web page:
http://deq.ne.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/ed mr
4. Signatory 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. (11.)(a)or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part II, Section B.(11.)(b). A

three inches wide with white or black lettering.
2.3 Burial
Bedding and installation shall be consistent with ASTM Standard F 667. These specifications do
not cover interior or initial building connections. The following are general location and
separation guidelines:
• Typically a 3-foot minimum cover shall be maintained on all sewer lines.
• Sewer transfer lines from top-feed manifolds down to drip lateral lines may be buried
less than 3 feet as all lines shall be installed to drain to the drip irrigation laterals and
will de-pressurize between doses.
• Sewer lines may cross a water line if 18 inches clear separation is maintained, with
the sewer line passing under the water line. The sewer line shall be constructed of
ductile iron pipe and the water line shall be constructed of ferrous material equivalent
to water main standards for at least 10 feet on either side of each crossing.
• Sewer lines may cross a storm drain if at least 12 inches of clear separation is
maintained or the sewer pipe is of ductile iron or encased in ductile iron pipe for at
least 5 feet on either side of the crossing.
• Sewer lines may cross a stream if at least three feet of stable cover can be
maintained with a horizontal boring or the sewer line is of ductile iron pipe or
encased in ductile iron pipe for at least 10 feet on either side of the crossing and
protect against the normal range of high and low water. Please refer stream impact
permitting regulations and requirements before initiating any stream crossing.
• A minimum separation of 100 ft from any well is required unless the sewer line is
constructed of pipe materials meeting water main standards. The minimum
separation shall not be less than 25 ft from a private well or 50 ft from a public well.
2.4 Steep Slope Installation

2.5 Trenching
Trench excavation shall conform to the line, depth and dimensions shown on the engineer plan
details. The trench shall be properly braced and shored so that workmen may work safely and
efficiently. If unstable conditions are encountered, the Engineer shall be notified in order that
proper bedding materials may be selected. Trench excavation or excavation for pipelines shall
consist of excavation necessary for the construction of sewers, conduits and other pipelines and
all appurtenant facilities thereof, pipe embedment materials, and pipe protection, insulating and
sleeving in ductile iron pipe, as called for on the plans. It shall include site preparation,
backfilling and tamping of pipe trenches and around tanks and the disposal of waste materials,
all of which shall conform to the applicable provisions of these specifications. When muck,
quicksand, soft clay, swampy or other material unsuitable for foundations or subgrade are
encountered which extend beyond the limits of the excavation, such material shall be removed
and replaced with pipe foundation material as specified in the engineering drawings. Surface
drainage shall not be allowed to enter excavated areas.
Rock encountered in trench excavation shall be removed for the overall width of trench which
shall be as shown on the plans. It shall be removed to a minimum depth of three (3) inches
below the bottom of the pipe. Clean compacted backfill shall replace the excavated rock.
The pipe material listed above shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations and the requirements of these specifications. All sewer lines shall be laid to
the line and grade shown on the plans. No deviations from line and grade shall be made, unless
they have been approved by the Engineer. The pipe interior shall be kept clean before and after
laying by means approved by the Engineer. Pipe ends shall be plugged at the end of each work
day or when work is temporarily stopped. The plugs shall be watertight so that water and debris
will not enter the pipe.
All backfilling shall be done in such manner as will not disturb or injure the pipe or structure over
or against which it is being placed. Any pipe or structure injured, damaged or moved from its
proper line or grade during backfilling operations shall be opened up and repaired and then re-
backfilled as herein specified. Typically backfilling shall be conducted in lifts of no greater than
8
3 inches and compacted to a minimum 95% Standard Proctor. The Contractor shall be
responsible for insuring adequate testing is performed and demonstrate compliance with these
specifications. Typically testing shall be performed approximately every 500 feet of piping. Any
sections of piping demonstrating excessive trench settlement shall be excavated and re-
compacted and backfilled. Excessive settlement is indicated by the grade above the piping
trench being lower than the undisturbed adjacent natural grade.
The Contractor shall replace all surface materials and shall restore paving, curbing, sidewalks,
gutters, shrubbery, fences, sod, and other surfaces disturbed, to a condition equal to that before
the work began, furnishing all labor and materials incidental thereto as provided elsewhere in
these specifications.
2.6 Testing
All gravity sewer lines shall be tested by Low Pressure Air Exfiltration Testing with the following
steps.
1. All branch fittings and ends of lateral stubs shall be securely plugged at each
manhole. All stoppers shall be adequately braced when required.
2. Air shall be slowly supplied into the plugged pipe line until the internal air pressure
reaches 4.0 pounds per square inch or 4.0 pounds per square inch greater than the
average back pressure of any ground water that may submerge the pipe. At least
two minutes shall be allowed for temperature stabilization before proceeding further.
3. Calculate the pressure drop as the number of minutes for the air pressure within the
pipeline to drop from a stabilized pressure of 3.5 to 2.5 psig.
4. The time allowed for mixed pipe sizes of varying lengths should be calculated as
described in ASTM C828-76T.
5. The following times are for one pipe size only:
Pipe Size (inches) Time, T Allowable Air Loss, Q
(sec/100 ft) (ft3/min)
6 42 2.0

6. The pipe line shall be considered acceptable if the time interval for the 1.0 psi
pressure drop is not less than the holding time listed in the following table.
7. If the test fails, the Contractor will be required to locate the cause of the failure, make
necessary repairs, and repeat all testing of the line until the test is passed.
For pressure sewer lines the following Hydrostatic Testing Procedure shall be utilized.
1. As a minimum, all sewer force mains shall be tested in accordance with the
Hydrostatic Testing Requirements of AWWA C600.
2. After pipe has been laid and backfilled, all newly laid pipe or any valve section
thereof shall be subject to a hydrostatic pressure of not less than 150 psi or 1-1/2
times the working pressure, whichever is greater. The duration of the pressure test
shall be two hours. Each valve section of the pipe shall be slowly filled with water.
All air shall be expelled from the pipe while the pipe is being filled and before the
application of the specified test pressure. Taps may be required at points of highest
elevation. These taps are to be tightly plugged after completion of the test.
3. The test pressure shall be applied by means of a pump connected to the pipe in a
manner satisfactory to the Project Engineer. The pump, pump connections, gauges,
and all necessary apparatus and labor shall be furnished by the Contractor. The
Contractor shall calibrate the gauges in the presence of the Design Engineer.
4. A test shall be made only after a part or all of the backfilling has been completed and
at least 36 hours after the last concrete thrust block has been cast with high-early
strength cement or at least seven (7) days after the last thrust block has been cast
using standard cement.
5. Any cracked or defective pipes, fittings, or valves discovered during hydrostatic
pressure tests shall be removed and replaced with sound material and the test
repeated until satisfactory to the Design Engineer. No payment shall be made for
the removal and replacement of defective pipes and appurtenances.
6. Leakage shall be defined as the quantity of water that must be supplied into the
newly laid pipe, or any valved section thereof, to maintain pressure within 5 psi of the
specified test pressure. Leakage shall not be measured by a drop in pressure in a
test section over a period of time.
7. Allowable leakage shall not exceed the following U.S. gallons per hour reported in
Table 1:
10
Table 1. Allowable leakage per 1000 ft of pipeline (gph)

If the pipeline under test contains sections of various diameters, the allowable leakage will be
the sum of the computed leakage for each size.
Alternatively, no pipe installation will be accepted if the leakage is greater than that determined
by the following formula:
In inch-pound units,
L = SDI�
133,200
Where:
L = allowable leakage, in gallons per hour
S = length of pipe tested, in feet
D = nominal diameter of the pipe, in inches
P = average test pressure during the leakage test, in pounds per square inch
(gauge)
The Contractor shall notify the Project Engineer when the work is ready for testing, and all
testing shall be done in the presence of a representative of Brooks Engineering. All labor,
equipment, water, and materials, including meters and gauges, shall be furnished by the
Contractor at his own expense.
