RE: NPDES Permit Renewal — NCO066796/ Leicester Elementary School
Per NPDES permit requirements, the following letter contains explanations of the operations of the above
permit number.
Request for Permit Renewal:
The Buncombe County School system requests renewal for the above NPDES permit based on the
educational needs of the Leicester Elementary School waste water treatment plant. Waste water treatment
is essential based on the rural location of this facility. Monthly monitoring logs provided to the NPDES
Unit substantiate the normal operation of this plant. This facility is a combination of on -site disposal
systems including a sand filter operation.
Operation Authority:
RPB Systems, a licensed WWTP construction and operations firm in Asheville is under contract to
perform operations on this facility by order of the BOE.
Sludge Management:
Sludge management of this facility is based on daily flow and treatment conditions. The ORC is in charge
of determining when solids/sludge is to be removed via a pump and haul method with a licensed pump
operations company. Documentation is provided in the standard operators log and monthly monitoring
logs. Sludge is usually removed from the septic tanks bi-annually.
Please advise if you have further questions or concerns.
