Dear Mr. PATEL:
N R
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. NCO029351 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rescinded, effective immediately.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.

Memorandum
To: Eric Galamb
From: Susan A. Wilso s
Through: Ruth C. Swanek
Carla Sanderson
Subject: Speculative Limits
Arrowhead Motor Lodge, NC0029351
Alamance County
Currently, Arrowhead Motor Lodge has the following limits:
BODS (mg/1):
13
NH3-N (mg/1):
4
DO (mg/1):
5
TSS (mg/1):
30
Fecal coliform:
1000
pH (SU):
6-9
These limits were required for discharge directly to the UT Haw Creek below I-85. The wasteload
allocation developed in 1989 specified that the permit should require the facility to connect to the
nearest sewer system within 90 days of its availability. Unfortunately, connection to the sewer
system is not economically feasible.
Based on new information that the discharge is actually going to a storm drainage ditch at I-85, the
flow at this discharge point would be regarded as 7Q10 = 0.0 cfs and 30Q2 = 0.0 cfs. Therefore,
upon renewal of this permit the zero flow policy would be initiated. Per current operating
procedures, the following limits would apply upon renewal:
First three vears After three years
BODS (mg/1):
13
BODS (mg/1):
5/10
NH3-N (mg/1):
4
NH3-N (mg/1):
1/1.8
DO (mg/1):
5
DO (mg/1):
6/6
TSS (mg/1):
30
TSS (mg/1):
30/30
Fecal coliform
200
Fecal coliform:
200
pH (SU):
6-9
pH (SU):
6-9
Chlorine (µg/1):
17
Removal of discharge is recommended. An engineering report must be sent within 12 months after
the permit is issued showing no alternative to discharge. The facility would receive their existing
limits for the first three years, and more stringent limits after three years. Because the final
destination of the storm drain is UT Haw Creek, which is classified as WS-III, NSW, the facility
may receive more stringent requirements on nutrient inputs.
Arrowhead Motor Lodge should also be warned that if an effluent pipe is relocated directly to the
UT Haw Creek, the facility would receive limits of 5/1 on any portion of the Creek that has
7Q10 = 0.0 cfs.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jessica Howell
FROM: Mike Scoville 01D5
THRU: David Vog t
Trevor Clements
SUBJECT: Arrowhead Motor Lodge
�
NPDES No. NCO029351,
Alamance L
As part of the evaluation of the WLA request for renewal of the Arrow-
head Motor Lodge NPDES permit, I have reviewed the facility's effluent and
instream monitoring data. The effluent data show frequent violations of the
facility's BOD5 limit; sixteen of the last seventeen BOD5 monthly averages
have been non -compliant. The facility's NH3-N limit is also frequently
violated. In fact, NPDES permit No. NCO029351 expired November 30, 1988.
Compliance with NPDES limitations is especially important since the
receiving stream, a UT to Haw Creek, has been reported as being a dry ditch
for the past 34 months. Even if the creek is dry upstream of the discharge
the facility should monitor the downstream site, and failure to do so is in
violation of their NPDES permit requirements.
I understand that you are currently in the process of drafting an SOC
for this facility. Given the poor performance record of this facility, per-
haps a JOC would be more appropriate.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at
(919) 733-7015, ext. 509.

Dear Mr. Hodge:
This letter is to acknowledge your subject
correspondence dated June 29, 1988. It is rare for a sand
filter system to take 9 months to recover from a septic tank
upset or a shock load, however. Data from April, 1987,
indicates that this.system cannot consistently meet a
biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) limit of 13 mg/l without
some modifications. It is possible that a complete
replacement of sand and gravel in the sand filter would
improve treatment so that permit limits could be achieved.
If septic tank malfunctions have been ruled out, the only
other alternatives would be to install a different
treatment system or eliminate the discharge.
,
If you have any questions please call Jessica
or me at (919)761-2351.

Mr. Patel is aware of the nature of his violations
and is working to solve them. He has adjusted the flow to
try to maintain a more even distribution accross his
sand bed. He is trying to replenish the sand in his beds.
His samples of May and June still show BOD and NH3N
violations. As stated in the compliance report the
system was shocked with a drain cleaner or some other
chemical. We think it may be recovering.
In the meantime if your office could lend any assistance
in this matter it would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Mr. Patel:
SUBJECT: COMPLIANCE EVALUATION INSPECTION,
ARROWHEAD MOTOZ LODGE, WASTEWATER
TREAT;NIENT—SYSTEM, NPDES PERMIT NO.
NC0029351, ALAMANCE COUNTY
Enclosed is the subject inspection report completed by
Jessica Howells, an Environmental Technician with our
office. Some problems were noted during the on -site
inspection and the subsequent file review. These problems
were as follows:
1) there were a number of weeds in the sand bed.
This would contribute to short-circuiting and
would decrease the effectiveness of treatment if
not corrected;
2) there was no chlorine contact chamber after your
chlorinator and prior to the discharge point. A
contact chamber is necessary so there is enough
time for the chlorine to adequately kill bacteria
and other pathogens prior to discharge;
3) there were violations of the monthly avrLrge
effluent biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) permit
limit in April, 1987 and May, 1987. It was noted
that the pH was lower these 2 months than had been
previously reported. Some process control testing
should be performed so that the source of the
problem can be determined. If the pH of the
septic tank is too low, treatment may be improved
by adding lime. However, the problem may be with

After reviewing your monitoring data, I would also
suggest that you have samples taken and analyzed early in
the month so that, if an analysis goes wrong or is high, you
can resample later in the month. In January, 1987 too much
sample was used in the BOD analysis, depleting all the
dissolved oxygen and using up the sample. However, it was
too late in the month to resample. This situation would be
avoided by sampling earlier.
You must submit a written response to the Winston-Salem
Regional Office by August 31, 1987, detailing the steps you
are taking to comply with your NPDES permit. You are
reminded that, until compliance is achieved and maintained,
you are subject to enforcement action pursuant to North
Carolina General Statute 143.215, et al.
If you have any questions please contact Ms. Howells or
me at (919) 761-2351.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Patel:
SUBJECT: COMPLIANCE EVALUATION INSPECTION,
ARROWHEAD MOTOR LODGE WASTEWATER
TREATMENT FACILITY, NPDES PERMIT
NUMBER NC0029351, ALAMANCE COUNTY
Enclosed is the subject inspection report performed by Jessica Howells,
an Environmental Technician with our Office. This inspection consists of a
site evaluation and a file review. Problems noted were as follows:
1. The distribution box at the sand filter was leaking. This should
be repaired to eliminate excessive wastewater loading in the area
-next to the box.
2. Some joints of the distribution line were cracked and should be
replaced. Distribution lines should be straightened to improve
wastewater distribution over the sand bed. Adding concrete to some
of the junctions of clay joints might improve distribution.
3. Flow and fecal coliform are not being monitored and reported as specified
in your NPDES Permit. Flow can be determined by the diameter of the
dosing siphon; this indicates the rate of discharge during one dosing
event. Fecal col i form levels must be monitored regardless of
chlorination has been added. However, chlorination is necessary�o'

NPDES PERMIT NO. NCO029351,
ALAMANCE COUNTY 4}�'
Enclosed is the subject inspection report performed by Jessica. Howells,
a Chemical Analyst with the Winston-Salem Regional Office. This inspection
consists of an on -site evaluation and a file review. Please.note the comments
on the report form for recommendations concerning your treatment system.
When reviewing the file for your facility, violations of your NPDES
permit requirements were noted. Monitoring reports were reviewed for the
period of August, 1984 through April, 1985. Flow and fecal coliform data
were not reported in monitoring reports reviewed. According to your NPDES
permit, flow must be monitored dialy and fecal coliform must be monitored
monthly. In addition, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) data was not reported
in the August, 1984; September, 1984; nor March, 1985 reports. This para-
meter must be monitored monthly. Dissolved Oxygen (D.O.) and temperature
were monitored only weekly or monthly during the period reviewed. These
parameters must be monitored daily as specified in your NPDES permit.
While it is understood that this system does not disobivxge d_aiLy�nd that
it primarily only discharges on weekends, efforts should be made to comply
with the monitoring requirements specified in your permit. If the days
on which there is no discharge are indicated on your monitoring reports,
Division of EVvironmental Management Staff would be able to determine your
compliance status more accurately.
