Charles,
There is one other permit that came to mind that needs modification. It
is NC00559905, Waterford Place. Ti[. wed to change -the sample type from
oo to to grab'Its this facility is a sand filter system. This would
affect the 8�y,chlorin* monitoring requirement as well since Class I
facilities are only required to be iftsocted once/weep Please see that
this permit is modified accordingly. The stream monitoring requirements
should stay as there have been positive results for fecal coliform and
the conductivity while not much does show variation from time to time.
The temperature and dissolved oxygen measurements do not appear to
change from upstream to downstream. However, if you're already doing
upstream and downstream measurements, these two do not take more than a
minute to run. Kerry

Re: Renewal of NPDES permit # NCO055905
Since our request for renewal was submitted, I have had some conversations with
Kerry Becker of the Asheville NCDENR about some potential modifications of the testing
requirements of the existing permit. She indicated that the proper procedure would be to contact
Raleigh and request a waiver as part of the repermitting process, so I am hereby requesting such.
I am particularly interested in obtaining a waiver for the upstream/downstream
conductivity readings as the recent NCDENR requirement for outside lab testing of this parameter
instead of field testing has greatly increased our testing costs. I am not quite sure of the original
rationale for this test as Hunt's branch is a very small streamlet which originates inside the
Waterford property area and discharges into a larger stream wihin 100 yards of this property. I
don't understand how this data would be meaningful in any way to NCDENR.
I am listing conductivity data for the last 12 months starting with most recent as follows:

Dear Mr Weaver:
Subject: NPDES permit # NC0055905 - Sludge Management
The Utility committee has a continuous program of pumping individual septic tanks on a
rotation which establishes a nine year cycle to remove solids. A commercial licensed septic tank
is. utilized in this program. We also have a contract with our primary plant operator which calls
for periodic removal of sludge from the accumulator tank of the lift station as required. This
operator is also licensed for septic sludge removal, but this service has never been required to
date. The sand bed filters do not generate sludge.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact me directly @ [phone].
Very truly yours,
Cliff Metcher
