SUMMARY
• The Champion Hills Property Owners Association owns and operates a tertiary wastewater
treatment plant and a spray irrigation system for the golf course. The facility is covered by non -
discharge permit WQ0004115. They have experienced problems during cold weather months
when they can't spray on the golf course due to the freezing of the piping system and long periods
of saturated conditions of the soil. For this reason they have requested a discharge permit for the
winter season only.
• The treatment system consists of a package plant with influent bar screen, flow equalization, two
aeration tanks, clarifier, aerated sludge holding tank, chlorination, and a 70,000 gallon holding
pond. There is a 2.4 million gallon irrigation pond which is not part of the treatment system.
Irrigation can be from either the holding pond or the irrigation pond. They pull water from the
creek into the irrigation pond when the wastewater holding pond is low.
• The permitted flow in the non -discharge permit is 0.14 MGD. This flow is for the ultimate
capacity of the system when development is finished. The present capacity of the treatment
system is 0.07 MGD. The effluent from the treatment plant will not be allowed to be mixed with
the water in the irrigation pond prior to discharge.

PERMIT DEVELOPMENT
The proposed permit limitations and monitoring requirements were developed based on Division
policy for non-POTW and waters classified as C-Tr. A Level B Model was developed. The actual
permit limits for spray irrigation are more stringent that the proposed limits for surface discharge.
The facility consistently meets the spray irrigation permit limits, therefore it is expected that they will
have no problem in meeting their discharge limits. The discharge will be limited to the winter months
(November 1 to April 30).
Level B Model
The results of the Level B model predicted that the stream will be protected with the secondary limits
for BOD. To protect for ammonia toxicity the stream standard will be implemented. The results for
the model are attached.
COMPLIANCE REVIEW
Notices of Violation (NOVs) No NOVs has been issued for the facility for the period of 1999 to
2000.
DMR Data Review
DMRs were reviewed for the years 1999 and 2000. The average effluent flow for the months of
November to March was 0.0377 MGD. BOD averaged 3.3 mg/l, TSS averaged 3.08 mg/l, Ammonia
averaged 0.33 mg/l and Fecal Coliform averaged <1 #/100ml. All parameters were within permit
limits for the time period reviewed.
CORRESPONDENCE
Regional Office
An inspection was performed by regional office staff on January 2001. They facility was found in
compliance with their permit requirements and well operated and maintained.
The regional office recommends the issuance of the permit.

Hi guys, here are the NDPU's comments on the draft permit:
• It is our understanding that the current non -discharge permitted facility is not being operated as
permitted (i.e. - the storage pond is used as an aesthetic course feature and not fully as a storage
pond). If not already provided, a complete alternative analysis should be submitted documenting the
current system or the current system with minor changes could be operated as a non -discharge
facility.
• The following limits are currently used in the non -discharge permit: BOD 10 mg/l, NH3 4 mg/l,
TSS 5 mg/l, Fecal 14/100 ml. The NPDES Unit should consider using these (in part or whole) limits
as BAT since the facility can meet these limits.
• This type of operation (discharge in winter, non -discharge in summer) will be requested on a more
frequent basis in the future - particularly with a couple of permits issued. The NDPU has received
several inquiries from consultants on these types of permits and whether any have been issued. It is
suggested the two units open a dialogue on a framework / policy to allow these types of permits in
the future.
If you need any clarifications or would like to discuss further, please let me know. Thanks - KC

We acknowledge receipt and thank you for your letter of May 30, 2001 transmitting the DRAFT permit for
our review and comment.
We are pleased to advise that we have carefully reviewed the DRAFT and find all conditions and
requirements acceptable.
Regarding the point of discharge, we have found a location after the confluence of the creeks that will not
interfere with either the golfers or the appearance of the golf course. Mr. Roy Davis, from your Asheville
Regional office, viewed the site on May 25 and considered it acceptable. We have instructed our
engineering firm to prepare the Authorization to Construct plans accordingly. You should be receiving
these plans shortly.
You are probably aware that your Public Notice was included in our local newspaper, The Times -News, on
June 6. We are attaching a copy for your files.
I will be away from June 22 to July 6. Should you have any questions or need additional information before
I return, please contact Jim Oberlies, Champion Hills' general manager at [phone].

Dear Ms. Rodriguez:

Non -Discharge Peimitfing
We acknowledge receipt and thank you for your letter of April 17, 2001 transmitting the
DRAFT permit for our review and comment. We find all conditions and requirements of
the permit acceptable as written, but would like to submit a minor modification or
clarification for your consideration.
During our telephone conversation, you indicated that it would be best if we discharged
the effluent after the point where the two streams come together, approximately 200
yards downstream from our plant. The reason being that there would be greater flow
where the effluent mixes with stream water.
We can do this and will do it, if required. However, it does create some problems for us
as follows:
1. It requires a relatively long discharge line with twists and turns.
2. It must pass under or through a Tee Box and our concrete cart path.
3. It would empty at a highly visible point on our golf course in front of the 15"'
green.
4. It makes a noise when flow is occurring, which would disturb golfers on the
green.
We would much prefer to discharge into the stream that flows by our plant at a point 75
to 100 yards upstream from where the two streams meet. This is the larger of the two
streams, and would require a shorter, relatively straight run of pipe. It would flow to a
point of low visibility and would be much less costly. It may also be meaningful to
HAGEN DRIVE / HENDERSONVILLE, NC 28739-8964 / [phone] / FAx [phone]
E-MAIL - [e-mail]

mention that after the point of discharge, the stream remains on Champion Hills' property
for another quarter mile or so. In this stretch, it makes lots of twists and turns so the
waters should be well mixed before leaving our grounds.
As mentioned above, we would appreciate this consideration, but this permit is very
important to us and we can live with whatever the department decides.
We have instructed the engineering firm that designed our system, William G. Lapsley &
Associates P.A., to proceed with plans for our Authorization to Construct and will
forward them as soon as they are available.
Thanks for your help.

Non -discharge Permit W00004115
Henderson County
The Division of Water Quality received your application for discharge of wastewater at the
Champion Hills facility, which currently operates under the non -discharge permit W00004115.
Because this is considered a new discharge application, a fee of $715 is required to process this
request. The Division will continue to process your application until the fee is received.
An initial review of your correspondence indicates that the facility plans to discharge from
the package treatment plant to the 5 day storage lagoon and irrigation pond, then to an unnamed
tributary to South Fork Willow Creek. The Division will not allow the effluent to be mixed with
irrigation water prior to discharge. The effluent discharge must be directed from the package
plant or 5 day holding pond directly to the creek; no discharge will be allowed to the irrigation
pond which diverts water directly from the creek. Additionally, the discharge of wastewater to the
creek will only be allowed during the period of November 1 through March 31 (the Division's
defined winter months).
Direct discharge to a receiving stream requires estimation of stream flows and water
quality modeling. Champion Hills should be aware that results of the model may dictate more
stringent wastewater treatment than is currently provided. The model will be run using a
wastewater flow of the current hydraulic capacity, which is 70,000 gpd (the nondischarge permit
allows a wastewater treatment capacity of 140,000 gpd, but the Division understands that the
plant is at r/2 that capacity).
If you have any questions regarding this letter or processing of the NPDES permit, please
contact Susan Wilson at (919) 733 - 5083, extension 510.

Hi. Yes, we should issue to Champion Hills a discharge permit allowing the
discharge of treated wastewater during the winter months. The pond which
includes a stream is on the far end of their irrigation system and included
a stream because otherwise not nerly enough water would be available to
satisy their irrigation needs. Hasta la vista, Roy

RE: Application to Discharge during Winter Months
Permit No. WQ-0004115
Champion Hills W WTP
Henderson County
Dear Ms. Wilson
Earlier this year we submitted an Application for Permit to Discharge during the winter
months. We are currently experiencing an extended cold spell here in the mountains (with
the usual frozen ground, snow and ice) and would very much like to drain the irrigation
system before freeze damage occurs.
As mentioned in our July 19 letter, we propose to mix the effluent with fresh water in our
irrigation pond before discharging it into an adjacent stream. This time of year, the
streams are generally full and the quantity of effluent from our community is at its lowest
level. It would be our intention to re -activate the spray irrigation system approximately
March 15, which is long before the summer residents return.
Any assistance you could give us to expedite this request would be greatly appreciated.
We would be pleased to provide any additional information that you might require.
Sincerely,
Lee J. Weber

the water would.mix and then overflow into -an adjacent stream.. This. procedure would
start no sooner'than mid November and end no later than mid March- and would be
shortened as weather conditions permit.
We should mention.that well over fifty percent.of our'current population reside at warmer
locations during the winter months, so effluent. production is at its lowestlevel. Also, as
moisture in tho ground does not. readily evaporate at that time of year, rain and melting.
snow tend to run off to the streams providing good flow.
This' matter is .of considerable 'importance to -us.and we would-be plea ed to come to
Raleigh at your convenience to discuss it further with. you. We appreciate your

SUBJECT: Request for NPDES Permit
Champion Hills
Henderson county
As follow up to our August 8, 2000 telephone conversation, I
visited Champion Hills on August 16, 2000. You will recall
that Champion Hills currently spray irrigates treated
domestic wastewater onto their golf course. As a result of
difficulties encountered operating the irrigation system
during the winter months, the property owners association
(POA) has submitted an application for an NPDES seeking
authorization to discharge treated wastewater to the State's
surface waters during the winter months.
The Asheville Regional Office no longer has original
construction plans. Lee Weber, Chairman, Wastewater Systems
Committee for the Champion Hills POA, met me on August 16 and
provided a set of original construction drawings. The
original drawings show a dual unit tertiary treatment plant
followed by a five day holding pond followed by a much larger
irrigation pond, all in series (see my attached pencil
sketch). The five day holding pond could not be used as side
stream storage for off quality effluent. The treated
wastewater was mixed with water from the South Fork of Willow
Creek prior to being irrigated onto the golf course.

Page Two
On March 24, 1995 Champion Hills received a letter (copy attached) from
Preston Howard in which the company was informed that it was no longer
necessary to dilute the effluent with stream water prior to spray
irrigation. Accordingly Champion Hills modified the piping between the
two ponds so that the irrigation pumps could pull out of either pond
(again see my attached pencil sketch). Today the standard practice is
to irrigate treated wastewater until the five day holding pond is
substantially drawn down and then start pumping from the irrigation
pond which contains no effluent but is filled exclusively from the
South Fork of Willow Creek. Piping arrangement do not now nor have
they ever, so far as I can determine, allowed storage of off quality
effluent for subsequent return to the head of the treatment plant.
The irrigation pond is in the middle of a fairway which would make
Champion Hills very reluctant to drain it down completely at the
beginning of winter for purposes of long term storage of treated
wastewater.
The present treatment plant has a design hydraulic capacity of 70,000
g.p.d. which is half of the flow allowed by Permit Number WQ0004115.
The plant is receiving a flow of approximately 25,000 to 30,000 g.p.d.
during the summer months.
Attached is a copy of a portion of the United States Geological Survey
Quadrangle for Horse Shoe, N.C. marked to show the location of the
treatment system and there ore the proposed point of treated wastewater
discharge into the South Fork of Willow Creek. Champion Hills would
propose to discharge to the South Fork of Willow Creek in the area of
the present irrigation pond.
It is my recommendation that we find a way to issue Champion Hills a
permit to allow the discharge of treated wastewater during the winter
months. Protecting the irrigation system from freeze damage during
this time of year is a headache all out of proportion to any
environmental benefit resulting from continued land application of
wastewater during the time of year that streams have their maximum
assimilative capacity.
As always, call if we need to talk.

PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC.
July 19, 2000
TO: The NC Department of Water Quality — Permits and Engineering Unit
RE: Champion Hills Application to discharge treated wastewater during winter
months
Champion Hills is a relatively new, environmentally sensitive golfing community. We
take great pride in the natural beauty of our surroundings and work hard to maintain it.
One of the attractions to the community is that we offer a first class wastewater system,
where many similar mountain communities with difficult terrain employ septic systems.
The success of our community, however, centers on the condition of the Fazio designed
golf course. It is a beautiful layout, but has the usual mountain course problem of
growing adequate grass on fairways, roughs and greens. Part of the problem stems from
periods of prolonged soil saturation during winter months.
As you know, our permit requires us to spray effluent onto the golf course. For the most
part, we are pleased with this requirement, as it is consistent with our environmental
beliefs. However, during cold weather it creates some serious problems for which we
seek your help.
Our permit stipulates that irrigation should not be performed when the ground is in a
condition that will cause run-off. It is not always possible to fully comply with this
requirement here in the mountains where extended freezing conditions are common. This
is especially true when the effluent holding pond is full and one or more the following
conditions exist:
• The ground is already saturated
• The ground is frozen
• The sprinkler heads are frozen
• The ground is covered with ice or snow
During such times, attempts to spray are not only questionable under the permit, but also
detrimental to the turf -grass we work so hard to grow.
HAGEN DRIVE / HENDERSONVILLE, NC 28739-8964 / [phone] / FAx [phone]
E-MAIL - champion [e-mail]

In addition to damaging the golf course grass, we have another problem associated with
cold weather spraying. Water tends to freeze in the irrigation lines where they come to r �����`
the surface at approximately 500 sprinkler head locations - often breaking pipes,
connections, sprinkler heads and controls. These breaks are not only costly to repair, but
they may go unnoticed until the weather changes, allowing workers and golfers to get !
back on the course. In the meantime, water may flow through the breaks causing further
soil saturation.
Unfortunately, it is not practical to shut down and drain the irrigation system when a cold
spell is approaching. This operation is complicated by the ups and downs of the
mountainous terrain. It takes approximately five to six days to stop pumps, flush and
drain lines by gravity, and. then blow the remaining water out with compressed air.
Refilling the system takes another two to three days to bleed the lines of air while slowly
filling them, to avoid the damaging effects of water hammer..
For these reasons, we ask the DWQ to consider our application to discharge effluent
direct during the colder months. We propose discharging from our 700,000-gallon
effluent holding pond to an adjacent 2.4 million -gallon fresh water irrigation pond where
the water would mix and then overflow into an adjacent stream. This procedure would
start no sooner than mid November and end no later than mid March and would be
shortened as weather conditions permit.
We should mention that well over fifty percent of our current population reside at warmer
locations during the winter months, so effluent production is at its lowest level. Also, as
moisture in the ground does not readily evaporate at that time of year, rain and melting
snow tend to run off to the streams providing good flow.
This- matter is of considerable importance to us and we would be pleased to come to
Raleigh at your convenience to discuss it further with you. We appreciate your
consideration.

Lee Weber
