by the Division, we are herewith forwarding the subject Certificate of Coverage under the state-NPDES
general permit for the Frank Evans residence and one set of final approved plans and specifications.
Authorization is hereby granted for the construction and operation of a 1000 GPD wastewater treatment
system consisting of a septic tank, 420 square foot primary sandfilter, 210 square foot secondary
sandfilter, chlorine contact tank, dechlorinator, cascade aeration with discharge of treated wastewater into
Little Crabtree Creek. This Certificate of Coverage is issued pursuant to the requirements of North
Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency Memorandum of Agreement dated December 6,
1983 and as subsequently amended.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this general permit
are unacceptable to you, you have the right to submit an individual permit application and letter requesting
coverage under an individual permit. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and
binding. Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be
followed in case of change of ownership or control of this discharge.
The Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph 2 of NPDES
Permit No. NCG550000, and shall be subject to revocation unless the wastewater treatment facilities are
constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in Permit No. NCG550000.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this
Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities.
The Asheville Regional Office, telephone number 704/251-6208, shall be notified at least forty -
Eight (48) hours in advance of operation of the installed facilities so that an in -place inspection can be
made. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made during the normal office hours from 8:00

Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification
must be received• from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in
accordance with the NPDES Permit, the Certificate of Coverage, this Authorization to Construct and the
approved plans and specifications. Mail the Certification to the Permits and Engineering Unit, P.O. Box
29535, Raleigh, NC 27626-0535.
A copy of the approved plans and specifications shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for the
life of the facility.
The sand media of the primary and secondary sandfilter must comply with the Division's sand
specifications. The engineer's certification will be evidence that this certification has been met.
A leakage test shall be performed on the septic tank and dosing tank to insure that any exfiltration
occurs at a rate which does not exceed twenty (20) gallons per twenty-four (24) hour per 1,000 gallons of
tank capacity. The engineer's certification will serve as proof of compliance with this condition.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Mr. Frank Evans has made application for an NPDES permit to
discharge wastewater from a residence into Little Crabtree Creek.
The Yancey County Health Department has turned down the site due
to high groundwater and no other alternative appears to be
economically feasible.
Mr. Evans has prepared sketches for the proposed system and since
the proposed discharge is to trout waters dechlorination facilities are
needed.
It is recommended that the permit be issued as long as
dechlorination facilities are provided.
