Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO074772
Diamond Head WWTP
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Myers:
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 final permit includes no major changes from the draft permit sent to you on March 10,
2005. This permit does include spill notification requirements and daily monitoring for fecal coliform. We
received and reviewed your letter dated March 31, 2005 regarding the draft permits. However, the addition of
the daily fecal coliform monitoring is the result of a policy decision, and is applied to all package plant discharges
to class B waters of Lake Norman upon permit renewal; therefore, this requirement can not be changed at this
time. After the collection of data over a period of at least two summers, you may submit the findings and
request a reevaluation of the daily fecal coliform monitoring requirement
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 derision shall be final
and binding.
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
Karen Rust at telephone number [phone], extension 361.

Bridgeport WWTP, Diamond Head WWTP, Alexander Island WWTP, Windemere
WWTP, Iredell County
Dear Ms. Rust:
I have received your letter dated March 10, 2005, and the changes to the draft
permit for the Bridgeport permit only. I did not receive modified permits for the
other three systems although they were mentioned in your letter.
It is my understanding pursuant to your letter
"that since the issuance of the permit for Highway 150 WWTP the Division
has received numerous requests from concerned citizens asking that these
same conditions apply to all discharges to Lake Norman where treatment
is performed using package plants."
Therefore, the Division is revising our previously issued draft permits to
include increased requirements including daily testing for fecal coliform.
Heater Utilities, Inc. (Heater) strongly objects to a requirement for daily
fecal coliform testing. This means that Heater will have to grab a sample from each
plant every day and deliver it to our contract laboratory for analysis. These fecal
samples have a six -hour holding time. This is very costly in operator time due to
having to transport these samples everyday.
These plants are discharging relatively small quantities of high quality
effluent into Lake Norman and have an excellent record of compliance with all
parameters, including fecal coliform. Performing daily tests for fecal coliform on
grab samples from each of these plants is a costly exercise providing no additional
protection to the environment. It would simply drive up the rates to our customers.

Page Two
Ms. Karen Rust
March 31, 2005
If the rates to Heater's customers are increased to cover this additional cost, there
will be other concerned citizens that may not want to pay for this non -beneficial
testing.
Please reconsider the requirement for daily fecal coliform testing in these
permits.
Sincerely,

e. Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: The existing
WWT facilities consist of two separate treatment facilities with one having a
0.033 MGD capacity and the other having a 0.0731 MGD capacity. Both WWTPs
have the following components: an influent bar screen followed by a V-notch
weir, dual flow equalization tanks, dual aeration basins, dual clarifiers, an aerated
sludge holding tank, and a multi -media tertiary filter. The two WWTPs share a
chlorine contact tank with tablet disinfection, dechlorination, post aeration, a
sonic flow meter, an effluent pump station and stand-by power. The 0.033 MGD
WWT facility was under repair at the time of the site visit.
f. Description of proposed WWT facilities: There are no proposed facilities at this
time.
g. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: Chlorine is added to the waste stream,
however, dechlorination is provided.
2. Residual handling and utilization/disposal scheme: Residuals are removed when
necessary by Liquid Waste, Inc. and taken for disposal to either a CMU WWT facility or
by land application at a site in Anson County under the authority of DWQ permit no.

2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: None at this time.
3. Important SOC/JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: This facility is not under an SOC at
this time nor is one being considered.
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation
a. Spray Irrigation: Insufficient area.
b. Connect to regional sewer system: None currently available to the site.
C. Subsurface: Insufficient area.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee, Heater Utilities, requests reissuance of the subject Permit. There have been
no changes to the permit or WWT facility since the permit was last renewed. It should be noted,
however, that Heater has made a number of minor operational and safety improvements to the
plant since becoming the permittee. Noise reduction measures implemented by Heater during the
term of the previous permit have significantly reduced operational noise. Other improvements
include new safety railing and flooring, new piping and other appurtenances, and tankage repair.
In light of the litigation about the Highway 150 WWTP (NC0074900), effluent
limitations for this discharge into Lake Norman should be based on "modeling" rather than BPJ.
Pending receipt and approval of the draft permit, it is recommended that the Permit be
renewed as requested.
