Permit No: NCG551275
Transylvania County
Dear Ms. -Stout:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted on 6/26/2015. This inspection
was conducted to verify that the new facility selling snacks and beverages in single use disposable containers
would not overload the system which is limited to 1000 gallons a day. The site was found to be in good order. It
is recommended that the right of way to the outfall pipe be kept clear of vegetation for easy inspection. A
description of the proposed activities for the business park can be found in the inspection summary. No
violations of permit requirements or applicable regulations were observed during this inspection.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. If you or your staff
have any questions, please contact me at 828-296-4500 or [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Jeff Menzel

Section D: Summary of FindinglComments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
This inspection was conducted to verify that the new Canteen selling snacks and beverages in single
use disposable containers would not overload the system which is limited to 1000 gallons a day. The
site was found to be in good order. It is recommended that the right of way to the outfall pipe be kept
clear of vegetation for easy inspection. A description of the proposed activities for the business park
can be found below. No violations of permit requirements or applicable regulations were observed
during this inspection.
This discharging system is limited to 1000 gallons a day of waste water. This number is to include the
activities of all 3 buildings on the site. I have calculated the proposed flow for this facility to be 975
gallons per day. The narrative below provides a description of how l derived my calculation.
The following is the proposed design flow for surface discharge on -site wastewater system at Cedar
Mountain Business Park located in Transylvania County. These flows are calculated per 15A NCAC
02T .0114. The calculated cumulative design of 975 gpd is based on the description -of proposed flow
to this system. An adjusted daily sewage flow design rate shall be granted for permitted but not yet
tributary connections and future connections tributary to the system upon showing that a sewage
system is adequate to meet actual daily wastewater flows from a facility included in Paragraph (b) or
(c). of this Rule without causing flow violations at the receiving wastewater treatment plant or capacity
related sanitary sewer overflows within the collection system as follows:
(1) Documented, representative data from that facility or a comparable facility shall be submitted by an
authorized signing official in accordance with Rule .0106 of this Section to the Division as follows for all
flow reduction request:
(A) Dates of flow meter calibrations during the time frame evaluated and indication if any adjustments
were necessary.
(B) A breakdown of the type of connections (e.g. two bedroom units, three bedroom units) and number
of customers for each month of submitted data as applicable. Identification of any non-residential
connections including subdivision clubhouseslpools, restaurants, schools, churches and businesses.
For each non-residential connection, information as identified in Paragraph (c) of this Rule (e.g. 200
seat church, 40 seat restaurant, 35 person pool bathhouse).
(C) Owner of the collection system.
(D) Age of the collection system.
(E) Analysis of inflow and infiltration within the collection system or receiving treatment plant, as
applicable.
(F) Where a dedicated wastewater treatment plant serves the specific area and is representative of the
residential wastewater usage, at least the 12 most recent consecutive monthly average wastewater
flow readings and the daily total wastewater flow readings for the highest average wastewater flow
month per customers as reported to the Division.
(G) Where daily data from a wastewater treatment plant cannot be utilized or is not representative of
the project area: at least 12 months worth of monthly average wastewater flows from the receiving
treatment plant shall be evaluated to determine the peak sewage month. Daily wastewater flows shall
then be taken from a flow meter installed at the most downstream point of the collection area for the
peak month selected that is representative of the project area. Justification for the selected placement
of the flow meter shall also be provided.
(H).An estimated minimum design daily sewage flow rate shall be taken by calculating the numerical
average of the top three daily readings for the highest average flow month. The calculations shall also
account for seasonal variations, excessive inflow and 'infiltration; age and suspected meter
reading/recording errors.
(2) The Division shall evaluate -all data -submitted but shall -also consider -other factors in granting, with

or without adjustment, or denying a flow reduction request including: applicable weather conditions
during the data period (i.e. rainy or drought), other historical monitoring data for the particular facility or
other similar facilities available to the Division, the general accuracy of monitoring reports and flow
meter readings, and facility usage (i.e., resort area).
(3) Flow increases shall be required if the calculations in Subparagraph (f)(1) of this Rule yield design
flows higher than that specified in Paragraphs (b) or, (c) of this Rule.
(4) The applicant/owner shall retain the letter of any approved adjusted daily design flow rate for the life
of the facility and shall transfer such letter to any new system owner.
