Dear CAROLYN MCFALLS:
Reference is made to your request for rescission of the subject NPDES Permit.
Staff of the Winston-Salem Regional Office have confirmed that this Permit is no longer
required. Therefore, in accordance with your request, NPDES Permit No. NCO022446 is
rescinded, effective immediately.
If in the future you wish to again discharge wastewater to the State's surface waters,
you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES Permit. Operating a facility without
a valid NPDES Permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to
$10,000 per day.
If it would be helpful to discuss this matter further, I would suggest that you contact
the Water Quality staff, Winston-Salem Regional Office at (336) 771-4600.
Since ly,

�1 Subject: AquaSource, Inc. acquisition of Rayco Utilities, Inc. and Willowbrook Utilities, Inc
f6ll Dear Mr. Stevens,
cr'
®r I appreciated the opportunity to meet with you and your staff on Monday, May 17, 1999. It is very
3' helpful for us to meet the people we will be working with and to begin to build an understanding of
the state's concerns and expectations. As we mentioned during the meeting, our goal is to provide
quality cost efficient service to our customers while complying or exceeding state, federal, and local
regulations. I appreciate the expressed willingness of you and your staff to work with us in
understanding the state's expectations.
As November 24, 1999, AquaSource Inc. acquired ownership of Rayco Utilities, Inc and
f.
Willowbrook Utilities, Inc. AquaSource Inc. is now the responsible party for all matters pertaining to
these facilities, including any Notice of Violations, enforcement actions, environmental concerns, etc.
Any enforcement or pending enforcement actions issued prior to November 24, 1999, are the
responsibility of the previous owners (Leonard and Rachel Stogner) and will remain their
responsibility to resolve any such matters with your department.
In order to make this change in responsibility work within the legal requirements of the permit
system, the NPDES permit documentation should be revised to reflect the new ownership and
responsibility. Therefore, please accept this letter as my formal request, as an officer of AquaSource,
Inc., that the records for all facilities listed on Attachment A be updated and revised to reflect
ownership by AquaSource, Inc. In addition, that our Regional Manager, Glenn LaBrecque, be
designated as the responsible party. Mr. Leonard Stogner who as a former owner of Rayco Utilities,
Inc. and Willowbrook Utilities, Inc. also requests this change and further acknowledges that all
matters described and discussed herein are accurate also signs this letter.
Mr. Stogner now works as an employee of AquaSource in a role where he is closely involved in the
day to day operations but no longer serves in a capacity as a responsible party. He now reports
directly to our Regional Manager, Glenn LaBrecque. We believe Mr. Stogner will provide valuable
assistance in the position of industrial and construction manager. His knowledge of operations will
be utilized in coordinating the efforts of our operators.
We hope that your staff and particularly the regional staff will understand that it is optional whom
they choose to contact. However, we would hope that they would continue to contact Mr. Stogner or
others within the previous Rayco staff for the recurring and routine interactions that are a course of
normal day to day operations such as to coordinate an inspection, discuss a minor matter, or direct
questions. If for any reason your staff prefers, they may always directly contact Regional Manger
Glenn LaBrecque, or me.
We would expect that if there are any significant problems or concerns, any Notices of. Violation, any
enforcement actions, or any other "official" communications, those would be addressed directly to
the Regional Manager, Glenn LaBrecque.
let me again thank you and your staff for the courtesy extended to us during our
In conclusion,
meeting. look forward to doing business in North Carolina and working to earn your trust in our
commitment to compliance. If you or your staff should have any questions, need any additional
information, or wish to discuss matters in more detail, please feel free to contact Mr. LaBrecque or
me.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The WWTP is not being properly operated or maintained.
Given as a reason for the lack of operation and maintenance is
the fact that there is no road to access the plant. Rayco
Utilities has an easement for a road but a road has never been
put in. Effective December 31, 1995, there will be no access to
the WWTP through Quarry Hills Country Club property
It is recommended that the permit
condition that a road to the wastewater
within 90 days of the effective date of
the special monitoring requirements.

Dear Mr Stogne
ll
This is to answer questions put to me in our last telephone conversation regarding your Draft
Permit:
(1) It is correct that our policy is to, generally, delete a fecal limitation for streams
in which a dilution threshold of 331:1 (7Q10:Flow Limitation) is achieved.
However the current standard fecal coliform limitation of 200/100 was included
at the request of the Regional Office. It is being removed from the final issue as a
result of a subsequent request this date.
(2) Over a year ago, the averaging period on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring
page was changed from "Weekly Average" to "Daily Maximum" to be in
conformance with the applicable EPA regulation 40 CFR 122.45(d)(1) of which,
an excerpt is enclosed. It is my understanding that 15 NCAC 2B .0406 will be
changed similarly in the near future for consistency.
Thank you for your patience over the slowness of this reply

§ 122.45
ate at a level higher than the lowest
Production level identified in the
permit. The notice shall specify the
anticipated level and the period during
which the permittee expects to oper-
ate at the alternate level. If the notice
covers more than one month, the
notice shall specify the reasons for the
anticipated production level increase.
New notice of discharge at alternate
levels is required to cover a period or
production level not covered by prior
notice or, if during two consecutive
months otherwise covered by a notice,
the production level at the permitted
facility does not in fact meet the
higher level designated in the notice.
(2) The permittee shall comply with
the limitations, standards, or prohibi-
tions that correspond to the lowest
level of production specified in the
permit, unless the permittee has noti-
fied the Director under paragraph
(b)(2)(ii)(13)(1) of this section, in
which case the permittee shall comply
with the lower of the actual level of
Production during each month or the
level specified in the notice.
(3) The permittee shall submit with
the DMR the level of production that
actually occurred during each month
and the limitations, standards, or pro-
hibitions applicable to that level of
production.
(c) Metals. All permit effluent limita-
tions, standards, or prohibitions for a
metal shall be expressed in terms of
"total recoverable metal" as defined in
40 CFR, Part 136 unless:
(1) An applicable effluent standard
or limitation has been promulgated
under the CWA and specifies I.he Ilrnl-
tatlo,0 for the metal in the dissolved or
Val 1, or total form; or
(271n establishing permit limitations
on a case -by -case basis under § 125.3, it
is necessary to express the limitation
on the metal in the dissolved or valent
or total form to carry out the provi-
sions of the CWA; or
(3) All approved analytical methods
for the metal inherently measure only
its dissolved form (e.g., hexavalent
chromium).
(d) Continuous discharges. For con-
tinuous discharges all permit effluent
limitations, standards, and prohibi-
tions, including those necessary to
40 CFR Ch. 1 (7-1-87 Edition)
achieve water quality standards, shall
unless impracticable be stated as:
(1) Maximum daily and average
monthly discharge limitations for all
dischargers other than publicly owned
treatment works; and
(2) Average weekly and average
monthly discharge limitations for
POTWs.
(e) Non -continuous discharges. Dis-
charges which are not continuous, as
defined in § 122.2, shall be particularly
described and limited, considering the
following factors, as appropriate:
(1) Frequency (for example, a batch
discharge shall not occur more than
once every 3 weeks);
(2) Total mass ffor example, not to
exceed 100 kilograms of zinc and 200
kilograms of chromium per batch dis-
charge);
(3) Maximum rate of discharge of
pollutants during the discharge (for
example, not to exceed 2 kilograms of
zinc per minute); and
(4) Prohibition or limitation of speci-
fied pollutants by mass, concentration,
or other appropriate measure (for ex-
ample, shall not contain at any time
more than 0.1 mg/1 zinc or more than
250 grams (1/4 kilogram) of zinc in any
discharge).
(f) Mass limitations. (1) All pollut-
ants limited in permits shall have limi-
tations, standards or prohibitions ex-
pressed in terms of mass except:
(i) For pH, temperature, radiation,
or other pollutants which cannot ap-
propriately be expressed by mass;
(it) When applicable standards and
limitations are expressed in terms of
other units of measurement; or
(111) If in establishing permit. Ilmita-
tions on a case -by -case basis under
§ 125.3, limitations expressed in terms
of mass are infeasible because the
mass of the pollutant discharged
cannot be related to a measure of op-
eration (for example, discharges of
TSS from certain mining operations),
and permit conditions ensure that di-
lution will not be used as a substitute
for treatment.
(2) Pollutants limited in terms of
mass additionally may be limited in
terms of other units of measurement,
and the permit shall require the per-
mittee to comply with both limita-
tions.
Environmental Protection Agency
(g) Pollutants in intake water. (1)
Upon request of the discharger, tech-
nology -based effluent limitations or
standards shall be adjusted to reflect
credit for pollutants in the discharg-
er's intake water if:
(i) The applicable effluent limita-
tions and standards contained in 40
CPR Subchapter N specifically pro-
vide that they shall be applied on a
net basis; or
(it) The discharger demonstrates
that the control system it proposes or
uses to meet applicable technology -
based limitations and standards would,
if properly installed and operated,
meet the limitations and standards in
the absence of pollutants in the intake
waters.
(2) Credit for generic pollutants
such as biochemical oxygen demand
(BOD) or total suspended solids (TSS)
should not be granted unless the per-
mittee demonstrates that the constitu-
ents of the generic measure in the ef-
fluent are substantially similar to the
constituents of the generic measure in
the intake water or unless appropriate
additional limits are placed on process
water pollutants either at the outfall
or elsewhere.
(3) Credit shall be granted only to
the extent necessary to meet the ap-
plicable limitation or standard, up to a
maximum value equal to the influent
value. Additional monitoring may be
necessary to determine eligibility for
credits and compliance with permit
limits.
(4) Credit shall be granted only if
the discharger demonstrates that the
intake water is drawn from the same
body of water into which the dis-
charge is made. The Director may
waive this requirement if he finds that
no environmental degradation will
result.
(5) This section does not apply to
the discharge of raw water clarifier
sludge generated from the treatment
of intake water.
(h) Internal waste streams. (1) When
permit effluent limitations or stand-
ards imposed at the point of 'discharge
are impractical or infeasible, effluent
limitations or standards for discharges
of pollutants may be imposed on inter-
nal waste streams before mixing with
other waste streams or cooling water
§ 122.4;
streams. In those instances, the moni-
toring required by § 122.440) shall also
be applied to the internal waste
streams.
(2) Limits on internal waste streams
will be imposed only when the fact
sheet under § 124.56 sets forth the ex-
ceptional circumstances which make
such limitations necessary, such as
when the final discharge point is inac-
cessible (for example, under 10 meters
of water), the wastes at the point of
discharge are so diluted as to make
monitoring impracticable, or the inter-
ferences among pollutants at the point
of discharge would make detection or
analysis impracticable.
(i) Disposal of pollutants into wells,
into POTWs or by land application.
Permit limitations and standards shall
be calculated as provided in § 122.50.

paragraph (b) were approved by the Office
of Management and Budget under control

§ 122.46 Duration of permits (applicable
to State programs, see § 123.25).
(a) NPDES permits shall be effective
for a fixed term not to exceed 5 years.
(b) Except as provided in § 122.6, the
term of a permit shall not be extended
by modification beyond the maximum
duration specified in this section.
(c) The Director may issue any
permit for a duration that is less than
the full allowable term under this sec-
tion.
(d) A permit may be issued to expire
on or after the statutory deadline set
forth in section 301(b)(2) (A), (C), and
(E) (July 1, 1984), if the permit in-
cludes effluent limitations to meet the
requirements of section 301(b)(2) (A),
(C), (D), (E) and (F), whether or not
applicable effluent limitations guide-
lines have been promulgated or ap-
proved.
(e) A determination that a particular
discharger falls within a given indus-
trial category for purposes of setting a
permit expiration date under para-
graph (d) of this section is not conclu-
sive as to the discharger's inclusion in
that industrial category for any other

SUBJECT: Rayco Utilities/Quarry Hill Country Club
NPDES No. NCO022446
Alamance County
The following comments are in response to Rayco Utilities comments regarding the draft
permit for Quarry Hill Country Club.
1.) Fecal Colifotm limitation:
The fecal coliform limit was assigned at the request of the Winston-Salem regional
office. Though our standard operating procedure (SOP) requires a fecal coliform limit
only if the dilution ratio is less than 333:1 and in this case, the dilution ratio is 427:1, a
fecal limit is recommended based on poor operating performance by the facility. In
addition, chlorination is already part of the treatment process but levels are not reported.
To ensure protection of the Haw River, a fecal coliform limit and chlorine monitoring are
recommended.
2.) Daily Max. limitations:
The permit should be renewed at existing limits for BOD5 and NH3-N with
monthly and weekly average limits. All listed daily maximum limits should be changed.
3.) Total Phosphorus:
The total phosphorus limit of 2 mg/1 is an existing limit. This limit is based on the
NSW designation of the Haw River per our SOP for the Jordan Lake Watershed.
If you have any questions regarding these recommendations, please call.

Dear Mr. Overcash :
We have received the subjectdraft permit and Mould like to
offer the _following comments and requests for modifications:
1. Fecal Coliform limitation:
The discharge is into the Haw River which has a 7010
floe, of 33 cfs. We understand that EPA does not require
a fecal coliform limit for discharges where there is such
high dilution ratio as to preclude the likelihood of a
water quality violation whereas this is obviously the case
here. We request that the fecal coliform limit be deleted.
2. Daily Max. limitations
Pursuant to NCAC 15,2B.0406, the prescribed limitations
for domestic type wastes should be weekly averaged as
opposed to daily maximum. We request that all listed
"Daily Max." limitations be changed to "weekly average.'
?. Total Phosphorous:
a) Pursuant to NCAC 15,2B.0508, the prescribed
monitoring frequency should be quarterl.)-. We request
that the monitoring frequency be changed from "weekly"
Lo "quart.erly" consistent with -the regulation.
b) We do not, understand the reason for the phosphorous
limitation (2mg/l). NCAC 2B.0214 states only that for
nutrient sensitive Seaters, these sill be no increase
in above background levels.
