Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance
Permit NC0039446
Linville Resorts WWTP
Avery County
Dear Mr. Parlier:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject
permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. 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 17, 2007 (or as subsequently amended.)
The permit authorizes Linville Resorts WWTP to discharge up to 150,000 GPD of treated
wastewater to the Linville River, a class C Trout water in the Catawba River Basin. The permit
includes discharge requirements and/or limitations for flow, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD),
total suspended solids, ammonia, fecal coliform bacteria, total residual chlorine, total nitrogen, total
phosphorus, mercury, copper, zinc, chronic toxicity, and pH.
The following procedure has been implemented by DWQ: Total residual chlorine (TRC)
compliance level changed to 50 ug/1. Effective March 1, 2008, the Division received EPA
approval to allow a 50 ug/1 TRC compliance level. This change is due to analytical difficulties
with TRC measurements. Facilities will still be required to report actual results on their
monthly discharge monitoring report (DMR) submittals, but for compliance purposes, all TRC
values below 50 ug/1 will be treated as zero. A footnote regarding this change has been added to
the effluent limitations page in the permit.
The Division received comments from the'permittee regarding the continuation of a
mercury limit and increased monitoring frequency of that parameter. It should be noted that
the mercury limit had been corrected and is less stringent than in the previous limit.

Consultation with laboratory staff indicated that submitted data should not be randomly omitted
from anaiSrsis without sufficient evidence thkt the data is invalid. Therefore, the elevated
mercury value that was submitted by Linville Resorts was included in the reasonable potential
analyses. The.Division recognizes the potential cost increase with the increased mercury
monitoring but it should be noted that monitoring for several parameters has been dropped from
the renewed permit and that monitoring cost may be reduced. Based on this review, there are
two modifications in the final permit on the monitoring frequencies for mercury, copper and
zinc.
• The effluent limit for mercury has been modified to a monthly average and a daily
maximum limit of 120 ng/L based on the results of a reasonable potential analysis
on monitored data. This analysis indicated the reasonable potential to exceed the
water quality standard for mercury in the receiving stream. However, the
monitoring frequency for mercury has been modified from twice per month to
monthly. This will allow sufficient data to be collected for evaluation at the next
permit renewal.
• The monitoring frequency for total copper and total zinc will remain as quarterly
based on the results of a reasonable potential analysis on submitted data. The
analysis indicated the reasonable potential to exceed the water quality action level
standards instream. Since copper and zinc are North Carolina action level
standards, there will be no application of limits based on the consistent passing of
the quarterly whole effluent toxicity tests by the facility
The following modifications from the draft permit remain in the final permit:
• Please note on the Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet the additional language
regarding the treatment components for the facility.
• Note that total suspended "residue" has been corrected to total suspended "solids"
in A.1. Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements. The parameter code
remains the same at 00530.
• Note that the NH3 limit of 12 mg/L is applicable from November 1 through March
31. The previous permit had the period listed as November 1 through May 31.
The NH3 limit of 4 mg/L is applicable April 1 through October 31.
• Quarterly monitoring for the following parameters will be deleted from the permit:
cadmium, chromium, cyanide, lead, and nickel. This action is based on the results
of the reasonable potential analysis on monitored data that indicated that water
quality standards would not be exceeded in the receiving stream.
• There have been some minor changes to the language in A.2. Chronic Toxicity
Permit Limit regarding test types and data submittal. Please review this section for
clarity.
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 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the
)ffice of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714.
'nless such a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding.

Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. The Division may require modification
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 Quality or permits required by
the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other Federal or Local
governmental permits may be required.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Jacquelyn
Nowell at telephone number [phone].

SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS .
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. (2). CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 10%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the
"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent
versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February
1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July and
October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge
below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below
the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two
following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that
does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment,"
collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase
II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed. If reporting pass/fail results using the
parameter code TGP3B, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is sent to the below address. If reporting Chronic Value
results using the parameter code THP3B, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30
days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate
signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is
employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,
the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating
the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of
"No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences
Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be
required during the following month.

Permit NC0039446
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to
include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT Forms
submitted. •
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall
constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day
of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Dear Ms Nowell:

Subject: Draft Permit # NC0039446
Linville Resorts Inc. Avery County, NC
Please accept the following comments into the public record for the subject draft permit. These
comments are being presented by the facility's owner, Linville Resorts Inc., and the facility's operator,
Mr. Scott Vasgaard.
The proposed permit represents a significant change in monitoring frequency for Low Level Mercury. As
presented, the facilities mercury sampling frequency will increase from four samples per year to twenty-
four per year.
The requirements for properly collecting, transporting and analyzing Low Level Mercury samples make
this a very expensive test. It is not at all similar to any other metal or even toxicity analysis. We have
estimated these additional samples will cost $300.00 per sample. At this rate, our current monthly lab
cost will increase from $300.0 per month to $900.00 per month, and over the five year term of a permit,
this cost would exceed $36,000.00. The cost in additional personnel and sterile mercury free
disposables, we are unable to budget at this time; however, it would be a considerable expense.
Linville has collected mercury samples for approximately four years. We have had several detections in
single digit ng/L and two in double digits. Our first double digit hit was a twelve ng/L. Our second was
80ng. Because follow-up samples showed no hit, we believe that sample to be an anomaly. We are not
sure this kind of history justifies the permit's costly approach to investigating a possible mercury
problem.
The purpose of this letter is to request a reevaluation of the proposed permit. We were surprised by
the permit changes and have had very little time to prepare a detailed alternative. We would welcome
any possibility of a source evaluation study or negotiation for a compliance schedule. Our existing
permit has only been in force for approximately two years. Would DWQ consider extending the existing
permit a matter of months?

Linville Resorts takes great pride in their appreciation and stewardship of the Linville River. Linville
Resorts built one of the first modern treatment facilities to exist in Western North Carolina. For over 60
years the quality of our discharge has been important, and we strive for the best. This facility benefits
the entire Linville community, and it is not our intention to defer from that purpose.
We request that The Division of Water Quality consider these factors as our permit is reviewed. We
would welcome any opportunity to meet with Division staff.
Thank you.
