Facility Summary
This facility is a minor facility (flow < 1 MGD) discharging 100% domestic wastewater with a design
capacity of 0.050 MGD. There are inconsistencies with the previous and current descriptions of the existing
treatment system. The 2016 renewal states that there are four (4) package plants (two 0.0075 MGD and two
0.005 MGD package plants), while previous permits stated only the facility only had three (3) package
plants. An inspection performed on 11/30/2016 by ARO staff stated the facility has four (4) package plants
(two 0.0075 MGD, one 0.015 MGD, and one 0.020 MGD package plants) and that several of the treatment
units were no longer in use or were repurposed. For an unknown reason, the 2018 modification reverted the
components list back to what was listed in the 2011 permit: three (3) package plants (two 0.0075 MGD and
one 0.010 MGD). After contacting Lauren Armeni in the ARO and communicating with Buddy Lawrence,
the General Manager, we were made aware of an error on the current renewal application (2020) stating that
the facility has two 0.0007 MGD package plants, when in fact they are supposed to be 0.0075 MGD.
After issuance of the permit in Sept 2021, the Asheville Regional Office (ARO) performed an inspection of
the facility on 11/12/2021 and realized that the sizes of the four package plants listed in the renewed permit
were incorrect. A technical correction has been issued and the confirmed treatment components for the
facility are the following:
• Flow equalizer
• Bar screen
• Four (4) package plants [plumbed in parallel], each with aeration basin and hopper -type clarifier;
o 0.005 MGD package plant
o 0.005 MGD package plant
o 0.025 MGD package plant
o 0.015 MGD package plant
• Tablet chlorinator
• Tablet de -chlorinator
Fact Sheet for Permit Renewal
Sept 2021 -- NPDES Permit NC0040355 - Page 1

• Sludge digester
• Effluent flow -measuring device
Please note that currently, not all of the package plants are currently operating but the General Manager
says they are working with an engineer to get them up to speed.
Renewal Summary
This renewal contains the following proposed changes:
• Updated the Supplement to Cover Sheet with the correct facility design capacity, components list,
HUC and stream segment.
• Updated Section A. (2.) Electronic Reporting of Discharge Monitoring Reports to reflect current
federal requirements.
Compliance History
Springdale Country Club WWTP has had no enforcements since 2016. The facility has had seven violations
during the last permit cycle; two TRC monitoring violations, one BOD monitoring violation, one late
annual permit fee violation, and three fecal limit violations.
Most recent inspection in 2016 shows the facility was in compliance, however the report did note that
several of the treatment units were no longer in use or were being repurposed, and that rust was still
observed in the EQ and aeration basins, which should be repainted.

Hi,
Buddy just called me and let me know that there are 4 package plants on the facility. Not all of them
are currently operating, but they are working with an engineer now to get them up to speed. Also,
the 2 that say 0.007 MGD should actually be 0.0075 MGD, that was a mistake. Do you need him to
resubmit the renewal application with the correct information?
He isn't sure why one of the package plants was taken off the permit in 2018 because he didn't start
there until 2019.

Good Morning,
Upon looking at what you sent, I see that the recent renewal application says "three (4) package

plants", which is odd. It makes me think they accidentally put 4 since the permit issued in 2018 says
three package plants, but I sent Buddy an email today to confirm, and I will get back to you. I can
also ask Mikal when she gets back from vacation next week since I just received Haywood as my
county a couple months ago. It looks like I will be inspecting this facility during our next inspection
year, but I can go out sooner if needed.

Subject: Treatment Components of Springdale Country Club WWTP (NC0040355)
Hi Lauren,
I'm currently working on the draft permit renewal for Springdale Country Club WWTP (NC0040355)
and noticed some inconsistencies with the description of the treatment works in previous versions
of the permit and the current renewal application. I was wondering if any staff in ARO have been to
the facility recently and could help clarify what exactly is there?
It looks like in the past (2011), the permit indicated that the WWTP had three package plants. The
2016 renewal states that there are four (4) package plants (two 0.0075 MGD and two 0.005 MGD
package plants). An inspection performed on 11/30/2016 by ARO staff stated the facility has four (4)

package plants (two 0.0075 MGD, one 0.015 MGD, and one 0.020 MGD package plants) and that
several of the treatment units were no longer in use or were repurposed. The 2018 permit
modification reverted the treatment component list back with three (3) package plants (two 0.0075
MGD and one 0.010 MGD). The 2020 renewal application states that the WWTP utilizes four (4)
package plants [plumbed in parallel], each with aeration basin and hopper -type clarifier;
• 0.0020 MGD package plant
• 0.0015 MGD package plant
• 0.0007 MGD package plant
• 0.0007 MGD package plant
I've attached copies of the previous permits and current renewal application in case you'd like to
review them. Any insight you could provide would be great!
Thanks!

Hi Sydney,
I was discussing this facility with Mikal, and I realized that the permitted flow is wrong on the draft
permit (NC0040355 — Springdale Country Club). The correct permitted flow is .050 MGD since the
facility was upgraded in 2001/2002. See below for email correspondence.

Thank you very much. To what would you contribute the sharp increase in usage? Six round cottages
were brought in line since about April last year but only one New home was built and is occupied by
a couple who already lived here. There are more full time residences now than 2 years ago which
used to be seasonal residences. Is the usage a water source number or a point of treatment
calculation?
We have had a significant increase in water main break this year and are going to have another
shutdown today. This requires a purification flushing at all points of use. I had to purchase a new hot
water heater this year due to an accumulation of dirt from breaks . I am at the bottom of Divot Dr.
where the water line terminates. When I went to discuss this with the individual in charge of the
water company, I was told it was a complete loop system so that was impossible. When he brought
out the map to show me the loop, I showed him a water line representing the Divot Dr. Line which
terminates at my home and briefly explained the concept of Gravity. The meeting ended abruptly.

Thank you again for your help. Our legal defense, the residences, is bringing on my aquiring the
maps for me to fully understand the system.
Can you tell me in the meantime if two Wells or one are feeding the portable water system? The
increase usage maybe due to the watering of the golf course or is it waste water running through the
treatment plant?
Sincerely,
William D. Bauer

Good Morning Mr. Bauer
So the original drawings are not readily available in our office in Asheville. They may have them in
our archived files in Raleigh in storage. What I can give you is the current facility description, the
status of some of the treatment components (i.e. recommended maintenance/updates) and
current treatment capacity the WWTP is rated for. I can also provide you with a little information
on the receiving stream and restrictions their may be for expansion. If you already have some of
this information I apologize for the reiteration.
With the collection system, I have less information since this falls under our "deemed" permitted
rules based on flow, which means the facility is not issued a formal permit from us, but they are
required by statute to maintain the system according to certain guidelines (they are supposed to
maintain a general map of facility). I was not able to find the original wastewater collection system
information for the facility, but I was able to find one for an extension of service (405 linear feet to
serve Town Homes approximately 2160 gallons per day) from 1993. I'm unsure if these town
homes were built or connected on, but currently they would have to be factored into total
allocated flow.
It looks like we originally permitted the facility in 1977 and it went through two upgrades to
expand treatment capacity. The first was in 1987 to increase flow from 0.015 MGD to 0.025 MGD.
They then expanded again around—2001/2002 to treat 0.05MGD. Currently the facility is rated
and designed to treat 50,000 gallons per day. During my last inspection in 2016, I noted the
facility is showing age related wear to the exposed metal above ground (rusting has been noted in
the past two inspections). It was recommended these portions be painted to maintain the
structural integrity and prolong the life span of the facility and verify the diffusers be inspected for
any leaks. Since the facility is aging it is recommended all components be assessed. Additionally,
power reliability is recommended. Currently there isn't a generator on -site. Annual average flows
the past two years (2018 & 2019) has been approximately 11,000 gallons per day which is up from
2017 which was 4400 gallons per day.
If the owner plans to expand sewer service there are some things he will need to verify and
determine. First would be to determine what flow is already allocated to the current WWTP. This
would include anything currently built and connected and anything that was originally planned to
be connected to the system that hasn't connected yet. This number would then determine how

much available flow is remaining. If the facility is already allocated all flow on paper because of
previous development plans, then they would have to request a flow reduction or have some of
the allocation returned to them after sending justification to our Division.
We also have statutes pertaining to percent total average annual flow that require action from the
permittee. We refer to this as our 80/90 rule (02T.0118), which basically states, once a facility
begins to approach but prior to exceeding 80% of the permitted hydraulic capacity, they have to
submit an engineering evaluation about how they will meet the wastewater disposal needs now
and in the future through expansion and maintenance. If they do not provide this they need to
justify why future expansion of the facility is not necessary. Once a facility exceeds 80% and
before reaching 90% of permitted hydraulic capacity, the permittee needs to begin obtaining
permits for expansion of the wastewater system. Again if expansion is not proposed , then the
permittee has to demonstrate why this is unnecessary. In the case of Springdale, the triggered
flows would be 40,000 gallons (80%) and 45,000 gallons (90%).
The receiving stream is listed as WS-III, Tr which doesn't prohibit expansion, but stream flow will
also need to be assessed.
Rates: The following link is a rates dashboard maintained by UNC and the NC Division of Water
Infrastructure. It will allow you to see different rates across the state, which can be based on
locality, billing structure, size etc. https://efc.sog.unc.edu/resource/north-carolina-water-and-
wastewater-rates-dashboard
I'll keep searching for any additional maps we may have in our older files. Just let me know if you
have any questions.

Hey Lauren,
Thanks for letting me know. This would put the total capacity of the plant at 0.055 MGD. Is that
correct?

Hi Lauren,
That would make more sense. Please let me know what you find!
I'll be out of the office all week as I'm recovering from a recent surgery, so I apologize if I don't
respond right away. If a technical correction to the permit is needed, I can take care of that next
week.
Thanks!

Good Morning,
I've been going through old paperwork for this facility and talking with Mikal, and we believe that
the permitted flow for some of the package plants is incorrect. I am actually conducting an
inspection of this facility on Wednesday, so I will clear it up with the owner. The owner had
confirmed these flows were correct per our conversation in July, but that wouldn't make sense with
the permitted flow of the entire facility (0.050 MGD). We believe the package plants should be as
follows: 0.0075 MGD, 0.0075 MGD, 0.020 MGD, and 0.015 MGD, which would add up to the
permitted flow of 0.050 MGD.
Again, I will confirm Wednesday and get back to you.
Thanks,
