Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0085863
Waterfall Plantation WTP
Wake County
Dear Mr.Tweed:
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 major changes from the draft permit sent to you on July 16,2003:
➢ Aluminum monitoring has been deleted.
• Monitoring for all non-nutrient parameters has been reduced to Quarterly,with the exception of Total Residual
Chlorine(TRC). TRC monitoring will be conducted weekly,due to concerns about potential TRC impacts from
your facility's discharge.
D The monitoring frequencies for Total Nitrogen(TN),TN components and Total Phosphorus have been reduced to
semi-annually,based on the minimal flow(<5000 gallons/day) from your facility.
• This reduction in sampling frequency makes it imperative that representative samples are collected. Collect the
TN and TP samples on days when flow is monitored.
• Data from the semi-annual samples will be used to calculate the TN load for the facility. The Permittee should
maintain accurate estimates of the total discharge each month(total monthly flow,or TMF). The TMF values
will be multiplied by the TN values for the semi-annual samples to calculate a TN load for the facility.
This permit includes a TRC limit that will take effect on May 1,2005. If you wish to install dechlorination equipment,
the Division has promulgated a simplified approval process for such projects. Guidance for approval of dechlorination projects
is attached.
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 goverfi rental permit that may be required. If you have any
questions concerning this permit,please contact Chafes Weaver at(919)733-5083,extension 511.

Charles:
Heater has 5 pending renewals of discharge permits for the backwash water form
canister type iron filters on community drinking water wells. These are very small
intermittent discharges which have little to no impact on the environment and when
time permits, we would like to investigate the possibility of covering these type
permits under a general permit. They are not at all like water treatment plant
discharge from a typical surface water treatment plant such as those operated by
cities.
Each of these permits requires a chlorine limit to be implemented within 18 months
which would require installation of chlorine removal equipment on each of these
systems. This seems extreme for these small intermittent discharges. Please consider
exempting these systems form the chlorine policy due to the insignificance of the
discharge.
The five permits that Heater has pending are as follows along with my comments:
(1) Waterfall Plantation - Permit NC0085863
This draft permit issued on 7/16/03 requires monthly monitoring for
everything but TSS which is 2/month and residual chlorine which is required weekly.
All of the other draft permits (except Nottingham Forest as discussed below) and
existing permits generally require quarterly monitoring for everything including
residual chlorine. The Waterfall Plantation draft also includes a monitoring
requirement for Aluminum which seems inappropriateince t is is not a surface water
treatment plant and would not have any aluminum. Keno
Please consider changing the monitoring frequency for Waterfall Plantation
g g
' to quarterly for all parameters, eliminatip4 the Aluminum monitoring requirement,
and eliminating the chlorineimit as discussed above.
(2) Nottingham Forest - Permit NC0055701
This draft permit issued on 7/23/03 requires quarterly monitoring on
everything except TSS and Iron which are required monthly.
Please consider changing the monitoring frequency for TSS and Iron to
quarterly and eliminating the chlorine limit as discussed above.
(3) Oak Hollow - Permit NC0073679
This draft permit issued on 7/23/03 requires quarterly monitoring on all
parameters which Heater believes is appropriate for this type facility. Please
consider eliminating the chlorine limit as discussed above.
(4) Hollybrook - Permit NC0082996
This draft permit issued on 7/23/03 requires quarterly monitoring on all
parameters which Heater believes is appropriate for this type facility. Please
consider eliminating the chlorine limit as discussed above.
(5) Stanstead Well #2 - NC0086690
This draft permit issued on 7/23/03 requires quarterly monitoring on all
parameters which Heater believes is appropriate for this type facility. Please
consider eliminating the chlorine limit as discussed above.
Thank you for any consideration of my requests. If I can provide further
information regarding these systems please contact me by email at [e-mail]
or by telephone at 919 467 8712 ext. 37.

where:
TN= TN concentration(mg/L)of the sample collected during the semi-annual monitoring event. Use the
TN value for the month in which the sample was taken and successive months until another TN
sample is collected.
TMF= Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the month(MG/month). If all discharges are not
recorded at the facility,document the calculation(s)used to determine total monthly flow.
8.34= conversion factor,from(mg/L x MG)to pounds
U. Annual TN Load (pounds/year) = Sum of the 12 Monthly (calculated) TN Loads
for the calendar year
b. The Permittee shall report the semi-annual Total Nitrogen results in the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) for that month. The calculated pounds of TN load per month
will be reported on each month's DMR. The Permittee shall report each year's annual
results (pounds per year) on the December DMR.

Re: Draft permit for Heater Utilities Waterfall Plantation WTP
NC0085863
I reviewed the draft permit for the subject facility. The terms, parameters and frequencies appear
appropriate. I would suggest:
•Putting a date on the limits page for when the TRC 1. it is effective rather than saying "18
months” after the effective date of the permit. This anguage makes it hard to track compliance
with the terms of the permit. I would reco en this change be made"universally"to all
permits with new TRC limits being added. T way the date on the computer system is written
in the permit also in plain terms.
• The agency should be explicit with Neuse permittees as to how they are to report the
"Calculated"totals for flow, TKN, TN etc. Should it be reported on DMR's with a parameter
code of 50050 and put into a column labeled "MGM"? In this permit it won't make much
difference but in others it certainly could make it hard to evaluate. Consistency in reporting is
needed. I will do whatever I can to assist with this.

Dear Valery:
The above-referenced facility involves the backwash from iron and
manganese filters on a community well located in Waterfall Plantation
subdivision. The iron and manganese residue in the backwash water is captured
on a sand filter. There is no sludge production. The iron and manganese
residue is periodically raked from the top of the sand filter and disposed of
in a landfill .
Heater Utilities (Heater) other facilities similar to this one are only
required to perform quarterly monitoring on most parameters. Heater requests
renewal of this permit with a similar quarterly monitoring frequency.
