Water Resources Chief Operations Officer Fayetteville Public Works Commission P.O. Box 1089 Fayetteville, NC 28302-1089 Dear Mr. Noland: ROY COOPER Gores not MICHAEL S REGAN Sect etai), S JAY ZIMMERMAN Du ectot Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal Permit NCO023957 Cross Creek WRF Cumberland County Class 4 Facility SIC Code 4952 Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the Draft NPDES permit renewal for your facility. Please review this draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the requirements and conditions it contains. There are several changes from the existing permit, including the following: • Please note, Special Condition A. (4) Onsite Reuse of Treatment Plant Effluent has been removed from the permit. Permittees are required to obtain a non -discharge permit for onsite irrigation. • Monitoring frequency has been reduced from daily to 2/week for CBOD5, TSS, ammonia nitrogen and fecal coliform based on exceptional facility performance over the past three years [15A NCAC 2B .0508(b)(1)]. • Upstream and effluent hardness quarterly monitoring has been added to the permit as required by the implementation of the new dissolved metal standards [See A. (1)] • Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A. (2), Chronic Toxicity Permit Limit, please review each paragraph carefully. • Special Condition A. (3) has been modified to include the specific three years in which the Effluent Pollutant Scans shall be performed (2018, 2019, and 2020). In addition, at the end of the Special Condition, 2nd species Toxicity Testing Requirements for municipal permit renewals per Federal Regulations [40 CFR 122.210)(5)] have been added. State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Water Resources 1617 Mail Service Center 1 Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 919 807 6300 Page 12 • Effluent mercury data was reviewed from July 2015 to March 2017. The Permittee started testing effluent mercury using EPA test Method 1631E in July 2015. In accordance with the 2012 Mercury TMDL NPDES Guidance the permittee needs to show annual mean effluent concentrations below both the Water Quality Based Effluent Limitation (WQBEL) of 215.5 ng/L and the Technology Based Effluent Limitation (TBEL) of 47 ng/L. A review of the data showed that the annual averages were below both the WQBEL and the TBEL, therefore, no mercury limitation is required. Fifteen out of 17 low level effluent mercury samples collected since July 2015 were over 1 ng/L. As a result, a Mercury Minimization Plan (MMP) requirement has been added to this permit renewal. See section A. (4). Please note that the Permittee shall develop and implement a MMP during this permit term. The MMP shall be developed within 180 days of the NPDES Permit Effective Date, and shall be available for inspection on-site. A sample MMP was developed through a stakeholder review process and has been placed on the Division website for guidance (http://portal.nedenr.org/web/wq/swp/ps/npdes, under Model Mercury Minimization Plan). • Quarterly monitoring for total capper has been removed from the permit based on no reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards [See A. (1)]. • Two out of 14 effluent data reported for silver were less than detection, at a detection level of less than 5 gg/L. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0500 all test procedures must produce detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all data generated must be reported to the approved detection level or lower reporting level of the procedure. Currently, DWR's laboratory identifies the Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL) for silver at < 1 gg/L. The allowable discharge concentration for your facility is 1.1 gg/L. Therefore, future sampling for silver as part of the facility's Pretreatment Program and Effluent Pollutant Scans should analyze these parameters down to the lower reporting level of the procedure or PQLs as listed above. No limits or additional monitoring requirements for silver were added to the permit at this time. Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program reports. The requirement to continue reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has been added to your final NPDES permit. [See Special Condition A. (6)] • Regulatory citations have been added to the permit. The NPDES Standard Conditions (Parts II, III, and M are not included with this draft. They can be found at the following link if you would like to review them in conjunction with this draft permit. http://ncdenr. s3 . amazonaws. com/s3 fs- public/W ater%20 Quality/Surface%20 W ater%20Protection/NP DE S/MIS C/NPDES %20 St andard%20Conditions-Boilgglate-DWR-S WP-NPDES-2015 0410.pdf Page 13 Concurrent with this notification the Division is publishing a notice in a newspaper having circulation in the general Cumberland County area, soliciting public comments on this draft permit.
