Klimek, P E Director Division of Water Quality Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance Permit No. NCO067318 Nantahala School WWTP Macon County Dear Dr. Shotwell: 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). The permit authorizes Macon County Schools to discharge up to 0.002 MGD of treated wastewater and up to 0.003 MGD (upon rerating of the plant) from the Nantahala School WWTP to Partridge Creek, a class C-Trout water in the Little Tennessee River Basin. Upon receipt of an authorization to operate the facility can discharge up to 0.003 MGD. The permit includes discharge limitations /or monitoring for flow, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), ammonia and temperature. The following modification has been made in this final permit: ■ The addition of an effluent page for 0.003 MGD upon approval of re -rating from 0.002 MGD. 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 a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding. Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. 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, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other Federal or Local governmental permits may be required.

I have attached evaluations of each school's wastewater treatment capabilities that were prepared by Mr. Bob DeWeese, Environmental Engineer, with NC D?I Plant Operation Section in Raleigh. These evaluations and, our historical monthly monitoring data demonstrates that each of these facilities can meet the requested flow increases and still maintain a high quality effluent that will meet the other_ parametric requirements contained in the permits. If you have any questions or need additional information regarding this request, please contact Mr. DeWeese at (919807-3546 or 807-3545 FAY,.

In addition organic loads are reduced by seventy-five to ninety-five per cent in these systems.

DeWees January 11, 24 Macon County Schools Subject: Macon County Schools From: Forrest Westall <Forrest.Westall@ncmail.net> Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 12:58:17 -0400 To: Susan A Wilson <Susan.A.Wilson@ncmail.net> CC: Kevin Barnett <Kevin.Barnett@ncmail.net> Susan, I talked to Bob DeWeese with the State Superintendent's office about Cullasaja and Nantahala Schools. They had requested a flow increase with the last permit renewal, but that request was denied. I reviewed the WWTP capacity at both schools and the student population numbers. The State flow figures with the current student population numbers would put both schools over their current 2,000 gpd limit (12 gpcd). Both plants have sand filters and the other parameters on their effluent quality are excellent (they have secondary lnnits). The school system asked for the flow increases to protect them from potential enforcement. Because per capita water usage is significantly lower than the State guideline, they are currently in compliance with the flow limit, but the levels are approachmg the limit and are close to going over Also, Cullasaja district is growing and next year they could have populations that result in a flow violation. I think that increasing the flow limit at each plant is certainly supportable by the student numbers and the capacity of the plants. Both plants are 2000 gal capacity and would still provide adequate 18 hours detention at 3000 gpd (this is what they requested at both plants). Chlorine contact time is OK at 3000 gpd and even if clanfer overflow rates are a bit high, they have sand filter capacity following the clarifer. If we wait until they start having flow violations, we will be placing the schools in the enforcement machine for no go good reason. Assimulative capacity is good in both receiving streams and other alternatives are not available (Cullasaja is miles from Franklin and Nantahala is away from everything --it's in the middle of woods). The option of increasing permit flow is the most appropriate and is supported by the facilities present I've suggested to Bob that he meet with you about these requests and better explain the need Keeping unnecessary flow expansions out of permits is a good thing, but the Macon County schools requests make sense for their situation. I would be happy to discuss this with you, just let me know Thanks for the consideration Forrest Forrest Westall - Forrest.Westall@ncmail.net North Carolina Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources Asheville Regional Office Division of Water Quality - Water Quality Section 2090 U S. 70 Highway 1 of 2 5/ 18/2004 11:13 AM n /EJ A Z/1 - on —'— — i _ _ - alp .
