Dear Mr. Lee:
The Division received your request to modify the subject permit on December 1, 1999. Personnel
in the Division's Fayetteville Regional Office have reviewed your request. After their review, the
Division has decided to modify the subject permit. Monitoring for total residual chlorine is now
required only if chlorine is used for disinfection of the effluent. This permit modification also corrects
the facility description on the Supplement to Permit Cover Page.
Please find enclosed the revised permit pages. The revised pages should be inserted into your
permit. The old pages may then be discarded. All other terms and conditions contained in the original
permit remain unchanged and in full effect. This permit modification is issued under the requirements
of North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North
Carolina and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit
modification 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 a written petition
conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, 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. •
If you have any questions concerning this permit modification, please contact Charles Weaver at

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 foundeach 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 1 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

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. Types 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
nogreater 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.

Part II
Page 4 of 14
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as 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.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section
311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.

Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 15:36:04 -0400
From: Charles Weaver <[e-mail]>
To: [e-mail]
Mr. Stovall, the NPDES Unit received the permit renewal application for
the McCain Hospital WWTP on June 4, 1999. Thanks for submitting this
package in a timely fashion.
I'm sad to inform you that the NPDES Unit now has five vacant positions
(out of a total of 13). This staff shortage is delaying our handling of
permit renewals. Our remaining staff are currently reviewing
Authorizations to Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit
modifications and 201 plan reviews ahead of permit renewals. This is
necessary due to a variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in
the statutes which govern our program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NC0035904, the existing
requirements in that permit will remain in effect until the permit is
renewed (or other action is taken by the Division). We appreciate your
patience and understanding as we operate with a depleted staff.
If you have any questions about your permit (or the permit renewal
process in general), simply reply to this e-mail.
Sincerely,
Charles H. Weaver, Jr.
