Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0024295
Connestee Falls WWTP
Transylvania County
Dear Mr. Lashua:
The Division received your application for a wastewater discharge permit on January 10, 2005. Division
personnel have reviewed and approved your application. 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 May 2004, and as subsequently amended.
For outfall 001, a Fecal Coliform (Fecal) limit has been added to this permit. Because you may need time to
make modifications to your plant in order to comply with this new condition, the Fecal limit will not take
effect until April 1, 2007. In addition, a Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) limit has also been added to this
permit. Because you may need time to make modifications to your plant in order to comply with this new
condition, the TRC limit will not take effect until April 1, 2007.
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 Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and
binding.
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 Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area
Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Vanessa Manuel at telephone number (919)
733-5083, extension 532.
Sincerely,
Alan W. Klimek, P.E.

Dear Ms. Manuel,
J'J L 2 0 2005
DEAR - WATER QUALITY
POINT SOURCE BRANCH
We are in receipt of your June 22, 2005 letter and draft permit. We have reviewed the draft and have the
following comments:
1) NH3-N testing is specified for outfall 001 but has no limits. Limits are set for outfall 002 so we need to
clarify if this was an omission.
2) The plant description for outfall 002 does not include a flowmeter. Also, the flow monitoring
requirement for this plant should be changed from "instantaneous" to "recorder". Flow frequency
from "weekly" to "continuous".
3) Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen is required for outfall 001 but not outfall 002. Is this because of
size?
4) The facility discharge location map for outfall 001 is not correct. The discharge is actually at latitude 35°
11' 15" and longitude is 82° 44' 05". Quad 67NE (Brevard). A copy of the quadrangle map is
enclosed.
5) The description for outfall 001 may need to be modified. While the plant does have a baffled chlorine
contact chamber, no other equipment is currently present. Disinfection was only done and required for a
brief period in the late 1970s. Disinfection was originally done with chlorine gas, which is no longer an
option because of safety and liability issues. All the disinfection equipment has long since been removed.
Therefore, the new fecal limit will cause us problems until we can install a liquid sodium hypochlorite
(bleach) system and make other disinfection provisions. We would request that the fecal limit be delayed
for 18 months after the permit is issued to give us time to install chlorination — and dechlorination — to
meet both the fecal and ultra low level chlorine limits.
If ou have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 704-525-7990, Ext. 216. Thank you for your
at ntion i • . assistance.

The chlorine contact chamber is in place, and I had them run a flow through on it to
make sure they could meet 30 minutes detention time. I far as I know, the only thing
they would need would be the equipment installed. I can't imagine 18 months for that.
Will check on it to make sure I haven't overlooked some other issue that would warrant
a delay. Kerry

Hi Everyone,
I will fax the region the response letter I received for this draft permit. As
indicated below, the permittee says their discharge (outfall 001) is actually at
352110150/822440050 (Lat/long) rather than what is indicated in the draft permit. In
addition, they submitted a map showing the discharge location to be different from
what we indicate. Please take a look at the faxed map and let me know its validity
and what the lat/long numbers should be.
Also, since the fecal limit for outfall 001 will be newly added this permit cycle,
they have requested an 18 month delay before the limit takes effect. How does the
region feel about this delay so they can install needed measures to meet their fecal
limits? Kerry, in your email, you indicated they already have the tanks for the
chlorination/dechlorination facilities. If this is the case, then do they need this
18 month grace period?

The regional manager for Transylvania Utilities sent in a response to their

Vanessa:
Was looking through mail and realized I hadn't sent you comments on the renewal of the
Connestee Falls permit. I talked with Carolina Water Services a couple of years ago
about the upcoming Fecal Coliform limit that would most likely be imposed. They do not
need much for the installation of chlorination/dechlorination as the tanks are already
in place.. What they do need is a new plant but then that's not the issue here. To
answer your question, we have no concerns regarding issuance of this permit. Kerry

Hi Guys, hope all is well.
I figure towards the middle or end of this year you will be gearing up
for the FrB. And since I don't know how you keep track of all the
insanity and issues with each facility, I figured a reminder from the
region would be helpful. So I am sending you an early heads up email
regarding this past issue. This way, if need be, perhaps you can slip a
cc of this email into the files as a reminder when you go through these
permits again.
Below is the old email relating to this issue,,,remember this one??
Anyhow, outfall number ONE at Connestee Falls (nc0024295) and Sliding
Rock (nc0020460) need fecal limits put in their permits.
Thanks Linda

Linda, you may have already discussed this with Elizabeth Kountis. Dave
decided not to re -open the two permits in question.
Both sites already have disinfection equipment, though they do not have
fecal limits. As it's unlikely that either permittee would install
disinfection gear they didn't plan to use, we believe it's safe to leave
these permits as -is until the next renewal cycle. Given our current
permit load (over 300 applications in-house) we can't spare the time
unless the situation at either site worsens.
Sorry about this, but given that disinfection is installed at both sites
the risk to the streams should be minimal. If you have questions on
this, just let me know.
Thanks,
CHW

NC0024295 Connestee Falls

NCDENR
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
The Asheville Regional Office sent out a memo dated August 1,2000
to the NPDES Group requesting permit modification at several facilities
to include Fecal Coliform limits and monitoring. The memo explained the
receiving waters extensive recreation use and the recommendation for a
classification change to "B" waters. The two facilities listed above,
NC0024295 and NC0020460 should have been included in the permit
modification but were not. Please re -open these permits and modify them
to meet Fecal Coliform limits and monitoring. These two facilities also
discharge to "trout" waters therefore we are also requesting
dechlorination.
Thank you for your assistance, please contact me if you have any
questions.
