Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs)
and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must
submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Division anticipates
that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation in late 2013.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part 11 of this
permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports

Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall begin
reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge
Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's
eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation
(CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state
electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing,
signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the
following address:
NC DENR / DWR / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility
being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband
access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted
and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1. 1, 2, 3) or
alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the
mailing address above.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be
submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the
facility would be required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid
for twelve (12) months and shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted
electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary
waiver by the Division.

NPDES Permit NC0085448
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting
requirements is found on the following web page:
htt�://portal.ricdenr.or web/wq/admin/bo ipu/edmr
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following
the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the
commencement of discharge.
2. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and supersedes Section B. (11.) (d)1
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in Part II,
Section B. (I 1.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part II,
Section B. (11.)(b). A person, and not a position, must be delegated signatory authority for eDMR
reporting purposes.
For eDMR submissions, the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an eDMR user
account and login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more information on North
Carolina's eDMR system, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit
the following web page:
htW://portal.ncdenr.or web/wq/admin/bo ipu/edmr
Certification. Any person submitting an electronic DMR using the state's eDMR system shall make
the following certification [40 CFR 122.22]. NO OTHER STATEMENTS OF CERTIFICATION
WILL BE ACCEPTED:
"I certify, under penalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared under my
direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel
properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or
persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information,
the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I
am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the
possibility of fines and imprisonment for knowing violations. "
3. Records Retention [Supplements Section D. (6.)]
The permittee shall retain records of all Discharge Monitoring Reports, including eDMR submissions. These
records or copies shall be maintained for a period of at least 3 years from the date of the report. This period
may be extended by request of the Director at any time [40 CFR 122.41].

Facility Summary
This privately -owned facility is a minor facility (flow <1 MGD) that receives 100% domestic waste. The
design capacity of the treatment system is 360 GD. The facility consists of the following water and
wastewater treatment units:
• Jet Air System
• septic tank
• aeration chamber
• clarification
Applicability of General Permit NCG55000
Treatment system requirements (Part 1, Condition A.) for existing systems (built prior to August 1, 2007)
• Septic Tank
• Sand or media filter component (Single Pass Filter Systems, Multi -Phase Filter Systems)
• Disinfection. (All facilities adding chlorination after the August 1, 2007 will also be
required to add dechlorination. If a system had chlorination before August 1, 2007, then
the addition of dechlorination is to required)
This facility does not utilize any filtration media and does not include dechlorination. The permittee does
not intend to make these upgrades, and therefore does not qualify for a general permit.

Monthly, age FLOW (GPD) — Last 13 out of 36 months Ju12011-Jun2014:
[Ave 132 GPD; Maximum, Monthly average flow = 240 GPD]
For Renewal — This permit reflects discharge at Outfall 001. DWR updated the facility description and
Map; added parameter codes to Section A. (L); added Electronic Reporting - Discharge Monitoring
Reports page [Section A.(3.)]; added TRC limit; and updated Section A. (2.) Special Operating
Conditions.
Stream — Discharge from WWTP for outfall 001 is into Swannanoa River [Stream Segment 6-78]. The
segment 6-78d at location of Outfall 001 is currently listed as supporting Aquatic Life and Reaction in the
2012 North Carolina Integrated report or 2012 303d list.
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) — A TRC limit is added to this permit. The facility does not include
dechlorination.
Facility Classification — Since these are single family permits, the division would not automatically
classify them in the first place. The Division has decided to not classify single family systems at present.
If the facility was classified, it would not technically meet the criteria for Grade 2 simply because of the
Jet Air technology. The Rule specifies "activated sludge or fixed growth process".

HI Derek
I think it best that we omit the TRC limit from NC0085341, NC0085464, NC0085448 and leave it the way it has been in
the past as monitor only. If we give them a limit we are only setting them up to violate a permit limit since they do not
have dechlor. Please continue with the monitor only for TRC through another permit cycle.

Mr. Patrizio,
Please find the attached correction to permit NC0085341. The weekly average limits for BOD and Total Suspended
Solids of 45 mg/L should have been daily maximums. The weekly average column has been removed from the draft and
these limits are now under the correct column for daily maximums in the Part 1 A.(1.) effluent table. This correction
keeps the draft permit consistent with the previous permit. If you have any questions, please contact me.

I just realized we changed the effluent limits to NOT include "Daily Max" of 45 mg/I. We need to scratch the weekly
average and go back to the Monthly Avg (30) and Daily Max (45), as the previous permit was written.
I am sorry I didn't catch this sooner, but since we (ARO) have looked at these systems for compliance based on annual
average, we prefer that daily max.
HOWEVER, if this is going to open a can of worms and require John or

Subject: RE: Question about facility classificatin for three individual single family NC008534,
NC0085448, NC0085464
Derek -
Since these are single family permits, we would not automatically classify them in the first place. The Division has
decided to not classify single family systems at present.
If they were to be classified, they would not technically meet the criteria for Grade 2 simply because of the Jet Air
technology. The Rule specifies "activated sludge or fixed growth process". While these septic tank/Jet Air systems could
possibly be construed as such, I don't think the intent of the Rule was to include this level of treatment in that
classification. It's basically a septic tank with an aerator in it. No mixed liquor, no return activated sludge. Pretty simple.
It is encouraging that they have an operator looking at them, though I'm not sure what there is to actually 'operate',
except for occasional pumping out of the tanks.
Hope this helps clear up the situation a bit. There's always the possibility of classifying them if the RO staff have issues
with them or feel compelled for some reason or other to do so, but I would wait for that to come from them.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks!

I had a question for you about facility classification for three single family individuals permits NC008534, NC0085448,
NCO085464 (see the attachments of drafts with factsheets). All three have a licensed operator Richard Holder WW-2

Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
This permit modification includes the changes listed below.
■ Quarterly monitoring beginning 3 years from the permit effective date, with increased monitoring should any
permit limits/monitoring violations arise.
This permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification or revocation and
reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be
required by the Division of Water Quality, the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act, or any
other federal or local governmental permit.
If you have any questions concerning this permit modification, please contact Bob Guerra at telephone number (919) 807-

CONSENT AGREEMENT AND SETTLEMENT
The petitioners, Gordon and Kim Patrizio, and the respondent,
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources,
Division of Water Quality~("DWQ"), hereby enter into this Consent
Agreement and Settlement ("Agreement") in order to resolve matters
in controversy between them pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 150B-31(b).
This above -captioned matter arose out of the 26 July 2007
issuance by DWQ to petitioner Gordon Patrizio of a renewed
discharge permit, No. NC0085448 ("the permit"). The permit, as
renewed, authorized the continued operation of an existing 360 GPD
wastewater treatment system, located at the petitioners' residence,
and the continued discharge of treated wastewater from the facility
into the Swannanoa River in the French Broad River Basin.
Petitioners brought this action to challenge certain
monitoring and reporting conditions of the permit. The parties

subsequently engaged in settlement negotiations in the above -styled
action and developed a draft amendments to the permit conditions at
issue which are agreeable to both.
Therefore, without any trial of fact or law in the above -
styled matter, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT:
1. The respondent, DWQ, will issue to the petitioner, Gordon
Patrizio, an -amended permit containing the -same monitoring and
reporting terms and conditions as developed and agreed to by the
parties. Copies of those pages of the permit containing the
proposed amended terms and conditions are attached to this
Agreement, marked "Exhibit A," and incorporated by reference
herein. The petitioner's amended permit will be issued by the
tenth day of the next month following full execution of this
Agreement, will be effective for a period of five years from the
date of its issuance, and the quarterly monitoring and reporting
requirements required by it will become effective three years
following its issuance. Except as amended pursuant to this
Agreement, the renewed permit issued to the petitioners on 26 July
2007 shall remain in full force and effect.
2. By execution of this Agreement, petitioners accept and
agree not to challenge the terms and conditions of the amended
permit to be issued pursuant to Paragraph 1, above.
3. Petitioners explicitly waive their right to a contested
case hearing in this matter and additionally agree to withdraw

By:
their petition for contested case hearing previously filed with the
Office of Administrative Hearings in the above -captioned matter.
Petitioners shall file a notice of withdrawal of request for
contested case hearing within ten (10) days following full
execution of this Agreement.

Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
Subject: Issuance NPDES Permit NCO085448
Patrizio Residence WWTP
Buncombe County
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North
Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
This permit includes no major changes from the draft permit sent to you on March 28, 2007. If any
parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit 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 in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General
Statutes, and 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.
On May 21, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received a letter from the office of John C. Hunter
requesting clarification of certain conditions in the Draft NPDES permits issued to Mr. Binkelman NC0085456, Ms.
Walling NC0085341, Mr. Patrizio NCO085448 and Mr. Pruett NC0085464. The Division offers the following
responses to his questions with issuance of each individual permit.
Siqnator requirement for sinale-familv residences
All of the residence owners have signed and submitted applications for permit renewals and have
indicated they are the "Owners" of the wastewater treatment systems that produce a wastewater discharge.
While the Division understands the literal requirement of the Code of Federal Regulations, for the case of the
single-family residences, the homeowner(s) are signators and "Sole proprietors". While the Division will not
modify the "Boiler Plate Language" of the permits, the language will be clarified under the effluent requirements.
Reliability Requirements
At this time, due to the size and de minimus potential impact should a power failure occur, the Division
will waive the reliability requirement. The last sentence of paragraph states that backup power is required only
when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit.
Flow Measurement
It is implied that the maximum amount of wastewater, which can be discharged from a single-family
residence is 120 gallons per bedroom. While measurement device will not be required for the treatment facilities,
flow can be estimated for the annual requirement. Please work with the Asheville Regional Office for this
estimation.

Outfall Requirements
It is the responsibility of the permittee to ensure access to the outfall line. Discharge points are noted and
documented by information presented by the permittee within the permit renewal application. If the permittee has
GIS information other than what was submitted in their permit renewal applications please have them forward the
information to the DWQ for a more precise map/location of the discharge outfalls from their treatment systems.
Response to Specific Permit Conditions
Monitoring Frequency
The proposed frequency of 1 /month is less than any standard individually permitted domestic waste
discharge. The Division cannot modify these frequencies at this time. The Division hopes that the homeowners
will seek out and find an alternative to discharge prior to the effective date of the increased monitoring
requirements.
Connection to MSD Buncombe
The DWQ understands the potential cost of connection to MSD. The homeowners must provide this
information to eliminate this, if it is a cost prohibitive option.
Significant Noncompliance
Non-compliance indicates the wastewater discharge exceeds permit limits as noted in the permit. A
certified operator would not be required unless deemed necessary by the Asheville Regional Office and the
NPDES program. The homeowner would receive a written notification with a timeline to acquire a certified
operator, should this occur.
Please accept these responses and clarifications to the above referenced NPDES Permits. The DWQ
understands these permit conditions and requirements can be challenging and sometimes difficult to comply with.
This is the reason why all Individual NPDES permits must be put out for public notice to allow for feedback from
perspective permit holders and the public. The Division hopes that the four homeowners will work together to find
an alternative to discharge to the Swannanoa River.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may
require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal
requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required
by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local
governmental permit that may be required. If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Bob
Guerra at telephone number [phone], extension 539.

Subject: Assessment of Civil Penalty
Violations of NCGS 143-215.1 (c)
NPDES permit NCO085448
6 Riverbend Drive
Buncombe County
Case Number RV-2006-0003
Mr. Patrizio:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessment of $500.00, based upon the following
facts:
➢ The Division issued permit NCO085448 for the subject facility on July 23, 2001.
➢ Permit NCO085448 expired on December 31, 2005. North Carolina General Statute 143-
215.1 (c) requires the Permittee to request renewal at least 180 days before permit
expiration. No renewal application for your permit was received on or before July 4, 2005
(180 days before the permit expiration date).
➢ A Notice of Violation was mailed to you dated April 13, 2006. Records from the U.S.
Postal Service document that it was received on April 20, 2006. To date the Division has
received no correspondence requesting either renewal or rescission of the permit.
➢ In accordance with NCGS 143-215.6 A (a), a civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per
day may be assessed against a "person" who fails to comply with the terms, conditions or
requirements of a permit required by NCGS 143-215.1.
Based on the facts listed above, I conclude as a matter of law that:
➢ NPDES permit NCO085448 is required by NCGS 143-215.1.
➢ A renewal request was due for permit NCO085448 no later than July 4, 2005.
➢ By failing to request renewal of the permit, you violated and failed to act in accordance
with NCGS 143-215.1.
➢ By allowing the permit to expire, you are now discharging wastewater without a valid
permit, an offense punishable by up to $25,000.00 per day.

Based on the above facts and conclusions of law [and proper delegation from the
Secretary of NC DENR and the Director of the Division of Water Quality], you are
hereby assessed a civil penalty of $500.00 for failure to renew your permit.
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
In determining the dollar amount of the penalty assessed in this case [pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-
215.6A (c)], Division staff take into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the
factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation [N/A];
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation [14 months; permit has been expired for 8 months];
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality [N/A];
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage [N/A];
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance [none];
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally [both willful and intentional];
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the
Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority [N/A]; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures [1 hour staff time, certified mail postage].
The enclosed Assessment Responses Document lists the 3 options available to you in
response to this penalty. Failure to exercise one of the options within thirty (30) days of receipt
of this letter, as evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result
in this matter being referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through
a civil action. Please be advised that additional penalties may be assessed for violations that
occur after the review period of this assessment. Regardless of the option you choose, you
MUST submit a renewal application if you want this discharge permit to be renewed.
If you have questions regarding this matter, contact Charles Weaver of my staff at (919) 733-
5083,. extension 511.

Subject: Notice of Violation
NOV-2006-PC-0116
Failure to Renew NPDES Permit
Jet Aeration System
NPDES Permit # NCO085448
Buncombe County
On March 9, 2006, Janet Cantwell of the Division of Water Quality inspected the jet -aeration wastewater
treatment facility serving your residence. An examination of the system found the components to be in good working
order. However, based upon a review of the Division's files, it was discovered that the NPDES permit for your facility had
expired December 31, 2005. To date no record of an application for its renewal exists with the Division of Water Quality.
Please note that this is a violation of the condition contained in Part II B.10 of the NPDES permit which requires that an
application for its renewal be on file with the Division of Water Quality at least 180 days prior to its expiration. To achieve
compliance, an application for renewal of the NPDES permit must be submitted to the Division of Water Quality. An
application is enclosed for your use. Your immediate attention is required.
As you were not home at the time of the inspection, Ms. Cantwell was unable to determine whether or not annual
monitoring of the effluent had ever been conducted. Part I A.1 of the facility's permit requires annual monitoring of the
effluent. Failure to do so is a violation of that condition. If effluent monitoring has not been conducted to date, it should be
implemented this year.
If you should have any questions or concerns, please contact Janet Cantwell at 828-296-4500.
Sincerely,
Roger C. Edwards, Supervisor
