Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0065889
Indian Creek Resort WWTP
Transylvania County
Dear Mr. Nowell:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for minor modification of the subject
permit. Accordingly we are forwarding the attached modified permit. The modifications are based
upon your request to perform the construction of expanded wastewater facilities in two phases: first to a
capacity of 0.07 MGD, then to an ultimate capacity of 0.14 MGD. Modifications include an update of
the Supplement To Permit Cover Sheet, describing the phased construction, and the adding of an
effluent monitoring and limits page for flow at 0.07 MGD.
This modification 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 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
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 Bob Sledge at telephone number (919) 807-6398.

Permit NC0065889
A. (4.) TEMPORARY MEANS OF DISINFECTION
In the event that the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system should fail,
underperform, or otherwise be removed from effective service, the permittee or his agent should
immediately inform the Surface Water Protection Section staff of the Asheville Regional Office of this
development and discuss temporary, alternate means for disinfection of the effluent.
If chlorine compounds are used as temporary means of disinfection, the total residual chlorine (TRC)
concentration of the effluent must be monitored on a daily basis while this method of disinfection is in
use and values must be reported on the discharge monitoring report. TRC in the effluent may not
exceed 28 µg/L; therefore, dechlorination methods may also be necessary to ensure protection of water
quality in the receiving stream.
Use of a disinfection system other than the permitted,UV system during circumstances not deemed as
emergency and/or temporary (replacement of lamps, lamp cleaning or maintenance, etc.) will be
considered a violation of the terms of this permit.

Dear Mr. Sledge,
GOLDIE
ASSOCIATES
engineering, environmental
and laboratory services
Per our phone conversation on the 16th of February, I am writing to request a
modification to NPDES permit # NC0065889 for the Indian Creek Resort WWTP. We
would like the 0.14MGD allowance for the maximum daily discharge to be modified to
allow for a 0.07MGD phase in addition to the final 0.14MGD discharge permit. We are
requesting to keep the same treatment limits as in the original 0.14MGD permit for both
steps.
Thanks,
GOLD1E & A SOCIATES
