Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0032123
Carolina Water Service, Inc. of NC — Hound Ears WWTP
Watauga County
Dear Mr. Lashua:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
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 9, 1994 (or as
subsequently amended).
This final permit includes the following changes from the draft permit sent to you on July 18, 2007:
• Corrections and modifications have been made to the permit based on the comments you provided in
your July 26, 2007 letter.
• The explicit monitoring requirement and associated effluent limitation for total residual chlorine
(TRC) have been removed from the permit. A condition has been added describing procedures the
facility must follow in the event that its UV system should fail and chlorine compounds are used as
temporary means of disinfection.
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.

See Condition A. (2.) for instructions should the facility's permitted UV system fail and an alternate
means of disinfection is required. Total Residual Chlorine monitoring requirements and limits are
applicable if chlorine compounds are used for disinfection.

Permit NC0032123
A. (2.) 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 Winston-Salem 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.

Mr. Sledge
I am attaching a suggested redline for your review. Sorry for the delay and thank
you for allowing the opportunity to comment.
I understand why you wish to change from the draft to this new wording so that it
is clear taking the UV off line is a permit violation whereas before, it implied
that you could take it off line as long as you monitored TRC?
"Chlorine" is used so loosely and probably should be further expanded. The only
true "chlorine" is chlorine gas which is much less common than it used to be. It
is more common to use sodium hypochlorite (bleach) or calcium hypochlorite
(tablets) etc. Not sure if this is needed.
It would not be possible to meet TRC of that low without dechlorination so I added
some words to that affect.
There are brief periods of time when the UV has to be taken out of service for
maintenance such as lamp cleaning and/or replacement. We would like to try and
make routine maintenance issues less of a concern but there are situations when
this will be necessary.
Lastly - since the facility is not permitted to use other forms of chlorination and
dechlorination, is this going to cause a problem that we are going to have to
engineer, get ATC and permit for the "back up" systems we will need in the event
the UV does not work? Seems like someone will immediately chastise us for using
other "non -permitted" mechanisms even in an emergency?.njdlab2! ei

Dear Mr. Sledge,
We are in receipt of your July 18, 2007 letter concerning the above referenced matter.
We do have a couple of comments.
1) The WWTP address is 1624 Dogwood Road, Blowing Rock, NC 28605. It may be
best to use this address if you feel it is appropriate.
2) The proposed daily maximum for NH3 as N has a typo error for units. It is shown as
"ug/L" and should be "mg/L".
If I can help in any way, please do not hesitate to call me at 704/525-7990 x 216.
Thank you for your attention.
