PART IV — EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee, Mid South Water Systems, has applied for permit
renewal. The facility serves Ashe Plantation subdivision.
Mid -South received an Authorization to Construct for a 0.10
MGD WWTP on Feb. 25, 1987. The renewed permit should be issued
with effluent limits for 0.10 MGD (current design flow) and 0.13
MGD (current permitted flow).
The facility discharges into a zero flow stream (7Q10 and 30Q2
flow = 0 cfs) and should be required to cease discharge when an
alternative becomes available. At the current time there does not
appear to be any alternative to discharge.

Page Four
It is recommended that the permit be renewed.

Subject: NPDES Modification Application NCO065749
Mid -South Water Systems/Ashe. Plantation
Mecklenburg County
Your application for a NPDES Permit to discharge an additional 0.070 MGD (0.200 MGD
total) of treated wastewater into Duck Creek from an existing wastewater treatment facility located
at Ashe Plantation was received on April 25, 1989. Our Mooresville Regional Office has
performed a site investigation, and the Division has completed its review of the permit application.
Our review has determined that the receiving stream designated by you has no natural flow on
at least seven (7) consecutive days during a ten (10) year period and at least thirty (30) consecutive
days during a two (2) year period. We refer to this stream as having a zero 7Q10 and 30Q2 flow.
The North Carolina Administrative Code, Section 2B .0206 (d)(2) specifically prohibits new or
expanded discharges under such flow conditions. Therefore, your request for a NPDES permit is
hereby denied.
Several wastewater treatment and disposal alternatives may be available in order to obtain
approval for this project. Locating your discharge further downstream or on a larger stream that
can accept your wastewater without having to degrade water quality , utilizing a ground absorption
system which is handled under the jurisdiction of the local health department, or connecting to a
publicly -owned treatment works are alternatives which should be evaluated. We stand ready to
discuss these alternatives with you in detail and to assist you in any way we can in selecting a
suitable means of wastewater disposal.
