Dear Mr. Harris and Ms. Harris:

SUBJECT: Permit Denial
NPDES Permit Application
NCO067539
Brock Acres Subdivision
Guilford County
UT 1,roweL.4006 t„re"-
Your application for a NPDES Permit to discharge treated wastewater into an
unnamed tributary to Troublesome Creek from a proposed wastewater treatment facility
serving Brock Acres Subdivision was received on June 10, 1986. Our Winston-Salem
Regional Office has performed a site investigation and the Division has completed
its review of the permit application.
Our review has determined that the receiving stream designated by you has no
natural flow on at least seven (7) consecutive days during a ten (10) year period
and on at least thirty (30) consecutive days in a two (2) year period. We refer to
this stream as having a zero 7Q10 flow and a zero 30Q2 flow. The steady-state
models, routinely used by the Division of Environmental Management to simulate
stream reactions and calculate effluent limitations, do not apply to zero flow
streams. Therefore, we have no way to establish discharge limitations that will
comply with our statutes and regulations. Based on these facts, your request for a
NPDES Permit is hereby denied.
Several wastewater treatment and disposal alternatives may be available in order
to obtain approval for this project. Locating your discharge further downstream or
on a larger stream that can accept your wastewater without having to degrade water
quality, utilize a ground absorption system which is handled under the jurisdiction
of the local health department, or connection of your discharge to a publicly owned
treatment works are alternatives which should be evaluated. We stand ready to
discuss these alternatives with you in detail and to assist you in any way we can in
selecting a suitable means of wastewater disposal.
