Here are some comments on the facilities that the draft permits will be sent to permittee and not
to the RRO. If you have questions please call. Thanks for the opportunity to comment!
Chatham Central High School - NC0039381
A recent CEI was performed at this facility. The facility's treatment units coj/nsist of septic tank,
pump tank, primary sandfilter, secondary sandfilter, recirculating pumps, dual UV disinfection,
and a flow totalizer. NH3-N has been a chronic problem at this facility. From May 1998 -
October 2000, the facility was assessed 15 times, mostly for NH3-N violations. The Chatham
Co. Schools has been told repeatedly that these type systems do not consistenyomply with
NH3-N limits of 2 and 4 mg/l. We have recommended on several occasions that alternative
solutions to discharge, i.e. spray irrigation, be pursued. The school system has decided to not
aggressively pursue this option. We recommend the Division require the school to aggressively
pursue a nondischarge solution, and eliminate the nutrient and oxygen demanding pollutants
from the receiving stream. The school has discussed a type of wetland system, with possible
reuse, with Hal House of NCSU, but no action has been taken to date.
Chatham Co. School, Bonlee Elementary - NC0039331
Treatment units at this school consist of a septic tank, recirculating sandfilter, dual UV
disinfection, and a flow totalizer. A recent inspection showed this school to be mostly compliant
the past 12 months, with 1 daily max fecal violation. However, several effluent D.O. violations
occurred. We recommend that the Division require post aeration of some type at this facility in
order to comply with this requirement, and eliminate these chronic violations.
Chatham Co. School, Waters Elementary - NC0039349
The treatment system consists of 2 grease traps, septic tank, pump tank, primary sandfilter,
secondary sandfilter, recirculating pumps, dual UV disinfection, and a flow totalizer. This
facility is at 0.0048 mgd design. The reference to 0.009 mgd in the permit can be deleted.
According to our records this facility has 18 and 2, 22 and 7.5, BOD and NH3-N summer and
winter, respectively. This facility discharges to a dry ditch along US 421. Limits for this facility
should be 5 and 2, 10 and 4, for BOD and NH3-N, summer/winter, to be consistent with other
schools. This school was going to get 5/2, 10/4 limits in the early 90's per DWQ policy.

Subject: NPDES Permit Modification
Permit NCO039331
Bonlee Elementary School
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Mabe:
The Division is beginning the cycle of permit renewals for the Cape Fear river basin. An examination of the Cape
Fear basin plan and the NPDES permit schedule has revealed that the existing expiration dates in Cape Fear NPDES
permits do not coincide with the revised permit expiration dates for the basin. This discrepancy could create unnecessary
delays in the processing of over 200 permit renewals. Accordingly, the Division is changing the permit expiration dates for
NPDES permits in the Cape Fear river basin.
This permit modification changes the expiration date of the subject permit in subbasin 30612 to October 31, 2001.
Please find enclosed the revised permit cover page. Insert the new cover page into your permit and discard the old page.
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.
In accordance with the modification of the permit expiration date, the new due date for your renewal application is
May 4, 2001. Renewal application forms will be sent to you approximately 6-8 weeks in advance of the new due date or
you may download the forms from the NPDES web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.html. You
will need to download Short Form D. If you have already submitted a permit renewal form, there is no need to submit
any other forms to the Division; the application will be processed during the renewal period for your subbasin.
If any part of 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 Natalie Sierra at (919) 733-5083,
