Subject: Modification of NPDES Permit NC0023281
Tapoco Lodge & Village WWTP
Graham County
Dear Mr. Cody:
Division staff in the NC DENR Asheville Regional Office have requested a minor modification to the
subject permit. They correctly noted that the sample type for BOD and Total Suspended Solids should be
Grab, not Composite. This permit modification corrects the sample types in section A. 1. of the permit. No
other changes to the permit have been made.
Please find enclosed the revised effluent page, which should be inserted into your permit. The old page
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 of the
NPDES Unit at [phone], extension 511.
Sincerely,
<I �� 1

Hi Charles ---This facility has had composite sampling on their last two permits. A permit in 1998 had
grab sampling. We don't have any draft permits in the file for comparison.
This facility has a design flow of 0.02 MGD but has an average flow of about 0.002 MGD. Since
composite sampling is required with design flows over 30,000 GPD, why does Tapoca Lodge have
composite sampling? Can we have it removed? Thanks in advance for your help ---Janet
