Basic Facility Information Facility Information Applicant/Facility Name: Town of Newport/Newport Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Applicant Address: PO Box 1869, Newport, NC 28570 Facility Address: 160 Kirby Lane, Newport, NC 28570 Permitted Flow: 1.2 MGD Facility Type/Waste: MAJOR Municipal; 100% domestic Facility Class: Grade III Biological Water Pollution Control System Treatment Units: Influent pump station, headworks including a mechanical bar screen and grit removal system, influent and effluent flow monitoring and flow proportional composite systems, dual oxidation ditches approximately 723,000 gallons in size, two secondary clarifiers, dual tertiary disk filters, chlorine contact basin with dechlorination facility, post aeration unit, aerobic digester, sludge belt press, sludge drying beds, effluent pump station Pretreatment Program (Y/N) N County: Carteret Region Wilmington Briefly describe the proposed permitting action and facility background: The Town of Newport has applied for an NPDES permit renewal at 1.2 MGD for the Newport WWTP. This facility serves a population of 4,667 residents, with no significant industrial users (SIUs) and no pretreatment program. Treated wastewater is discharged into the Newport River, a class C water in the White Oak River Basin. The facility has a primary Outfall 001. Page 1 of 12 The Newport River has a stream classification of C at the facility's discharge location in the White Oak River Basin but the river is tidally influenced. Waters with the class C designation have the best usage for aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary recreation and agriculture. The classification of the river changes to SA HQW approximately 7 miles downstream of the Newport discharge. The Newport River is on the NC 2016 303 (d) list as exceeding criteria for dissolved oxygen. In 2006, Shellfish Sanitation conducted a dye study which concluded that "the maximum flow the Town can discharge without affecting the current closure line is 1.5 MGD." In 2011, The Town requested the Division provide speculative effluent limits to reflect an expansion to 1.2 MGD. The Division consulted with D. Potts of Shellfish Sanitation at the time and determined that the 2006 dye study results are still applicable for the Newport discharge and the Newport River, and that, as long as the expanded flow is lower than 1.5 MGD, the shellfish closure line would not be affected. The lower speculative flow of 1.2 MGD would be allowed based on the study results and saltwater limits for fecal coliform and enterococcus bacteria should be applied. The speculative limits provided in response by the Division for fecal coliform were applied based on protection of the downstream SA waters. All speculative limits provided in the Division's response are in the current permit, with the exception of limit and monitoring requirements for Enterococci. Originally, the Town's UV system was designed to meet fecal coliform limits of 200/400 per 100 mL and not the 14/28 limits in the existing permit. In the past, the town submitted the results of the dye study prepared by Shellfish Sanitation attesting that treatment plant expansion up to 1.5 MGD would not affect the shellfish closure line even with the less restrictive limits. The Division did not agree to the less restrictive limits and fecal coliform limits remained at 14/28. The Division, the town, and their engineers met on March 11, 2008 at the WWTP and discussed the issue of achieving compliance with the fecal coliform limit. In response, the town added supplemental chlorine disinfection. In 2013, the Town of Newport received Authorization to Construct Permit 021555A04. The Division received the Engineer's Certification for this construction in 2015. The completed project did not include several items from the ATC permit such as: the demolition of the original oxidation ditch, chlorine contact basin, sludge drying beds, sludge dewatering building and other miscellaneous buildings; the installation of a screenings compactor, 833 GPM pump and dual 0.17 MG anoxic zone with 5 HP mixer; the conversion of the 2 existing clarifiers or existing waste activated sludge pumps to sludge transfer, add a 150 GPM pump, or add other sludge handling/process equipment including relocating existing sludge dewatering equipment to a new building, lime silos, sludge reactor, covered storage area and other new buildings. Completion of construction activated the 1.2 MGD tier requirements in NPDES permit NC0021555. In their 2017 NPDES permit renewal application, the Town noted that the old secondary clarifiers and the oxidation ditch have been taken out of service and the Town hopes to maintain the capability to repurpose the tanks as possible equalization and/or sludge handling tanks. In their 2017 NPDES permit renewal application, the Town of Newport requested revision of their fecal coliform limits. Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(1) prohibit backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. The facility has demonstrated capability to consistently achieve the current permit limits. The Town reported some questionable temperature readings (negative temperature readings, e.g. -10 degrees Celsius) from their effluent temperature gauge throughout the winters of the period reviewed. This has been reported to the Wilmington Regional Office, who believes the readings are likely due to a faulty temperature gauge and have agreed to look into it with their next inspection of the facility. For the sake of DMR summary, those values have been disregarded, as they would very likely skew the data. Page 2 of 12 2.

Instream Data Summary Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example: 1) to verify model predictions when model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/1 of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to verify model predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future TMDL; 4) based on other instream concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also Monitoring Coalitions established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in which case instream monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained). If applicable, summarize any Instream data and what instream monitoring will be proposed for this permit action: In 1993, a wasteload allocation (WLA) was conducted on the loading to the receiving stream at the flow of 0.5 MGD. The list of parameters recommended in the WLA for sampling consisted of dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, temperature and conductivity. The monitoring requirement for conductivity was removed in the 2003 renewal. Fecal coliform instream monitoring remained in the permit because the stream was impaired for fecal coliform and a fecal coliform TMDL was being developed at the time for the White Oak River Basin. The White Oak River Basin Fecal Coliform TMDL was fmalized in 2010 but did not include the segment of the stream to which Newport WWTP discharges. Upstream and downstream data ranging from June 2016 to November 2018 was provided by the Town. An analysis of the data showed that downstream temperature ranged from 2.2 to 30.3 degrees Celsius. Upstream temperature ranged from 2 to 29.4 degrees Celsius. The downstream temperature did not exceed 32.2 degrees Celsius [per 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (18)]. The temperature differential did not exceed 2.8 degrees Celsius. Based on a student's t-test, it was concluded with 95% confidence that no statistically significant difference (p-value > .05) between upstream and downstream temperature exists. The stream segment is listed as impaired for dissolved oxygen (DO) in the 2018 303(d) list. Downstream DO ranged from 0.06 to 12.97 mg/L. The upstream DO ranged from 0.08 to 13.16 mg/L. The downstream DO daily average dropped below 5 mg/L [per 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (6)] 182 times during the period reviewed. Downstream DO dropped below 4 mg/L 131 times during the period reviewed. When looking at the data, low downstream DO correlated with low upstream DO. Additionally, effluent DO remained above 6.9 mg/L and effluent BOD showed no significant increase on the days when downstream dissolved oxygen dropped below 5 mg/L. Based on a student's t-test, it was concluded with 95% confidence that no significant difference (p-value > .05) between upstream and downstream DO exists. Drops in downstream dissolved oxygen were likely due to background conditions and not due to the facility's discharge. The downstream fecal coliform geometric average was 418/100 mL during the period reviewed. The upstream fecal coliform geometric average was 406/100 mL. The downstream geometric average exceeds 200/100 mL and fecal coliform exceeded 400/100 mL in greater than 20% of the downstream samples [per 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (7)]. When looking at the data, high downstream fecal coliform correlated with high upstream fecal coliform. Additionally, the effluent fecal coliform geometric average was 1.1/100 mL during the period reviewed. Based on a student's t-test, it was concluded with 95% confidence that no statistically significant difference exists (p-value > .05) between upstream and downstream fecal coliform. High fecal coliform is likely due to background conditions and not due to the facility's discharge. Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (YIN): NO Name of Monitoring Coalition: NA Page 4 of 12 5. Compliance Summary Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): The facility reported no limit violations from January 2015 to January 2019. Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results (past S years): The facility passed 11 of 11 quarterly chronic toxicity tests, as well as all 4 second species chronic toxicity tests between January 2015 and December 2018. The facility reported no flow during 4 of the months reviewed. During this time, the plant was being constructed (per Authorization to Construct permit 021555A04) and not in full operation. Flow was being treated at the old facility while construction was being completed. Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The last facility inspection conducted in August 2017 reported that the facility was well maintained and operated. 6. Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) Dilution and Mixing Zones In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0206, the following streamflows are used for dilution considerations for development of WQBELs: 1Q10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic Life; non -carcinogen HIT); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, W. If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMLY model results): NA If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B. 0204(b): NA Oxygen -Consuming Waste Limitations Limitations for oxygen -consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to ensure protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits (e.g., BOD= 30 mg/l for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and model results. Ifpermit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed. The current limitations for BOD were introduced upon expansion to 1.2 MGD and are based on speculative limits calculated for the 1.2 MGD flow tier provided upon request from the Permittee in 2011. The speculative BOD limit in summer was calculated by projecting the existing loading at 0.6 MGD onto the expanded flow of 1.2 MGD. Winter BOD speculative limits were 1.5 times greater than those of summer. No changes are proposed for BOD. Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of 1.0 mg/1(summer) and 1.8 mg/1(winter). Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria, utilizing a multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non -Municipals. Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection of aquatic life (17 ug/1) and capped at 28 ug/l (acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values reported below 50 ug/l are considered compliant with their permit limit. Page 5 of 12 Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: The current limitations for ammonia and -1._ .al residual chlorine (TRC) were introduced upon expansion to 1.2 MGD and are based on speculative limits calculated for the 1.2 MGD flow tier provided upon request from the Permittee in 2011. Limits for both ammonia and TRC were reviewed in the attached wasteload allocation (WLA) review. No changes are proposed for either ammonia or TRC. Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants If applicable, conduct RPA analysis and complete information below. The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero background; 3) use of 1/2 detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) streamflows used for dilution consideration based on 15A NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards, dated June 10, 2016. A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between April 2016 and October 2016 from the facilitv's Effluent Pollutant Scans. Pollutants of concern included toxicants with positive detections and associated water quality standards/criteria. Based on this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for this permit: • Effluent Limit with Monitoring. The following parameters will receive a water quality -based effluent'limit (WQBEL) since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria: NA • Monitoring Only. The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria, but the maximum predicted concentration was >50% of the allowable concentration: NA • No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria and the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable concentration: NA • POTW Effluent Pollutant Scan Review: Three effluent pollutant scans were evaluated for additional pollutants of concern. o The following parameter(s) will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL) with monitoring, since as part of a limited data set, two samples exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: NA o The following parameter(s) will receive a monitor -only requirement, since as part of a limited data set, one sample exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: Copper, Lead, Bromodichloromethane o The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria and the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable concentration: Arsenic, Cadmium, Total Phenolic Compounds, Total Chromium, Cyanide, Nickel, Selenium, Silver, Zinc, Chloroform Attached are the RPA results and a copy of guidance entitled `NPDESImplementation oflnstream Dissolved Metals Standards — Freshwater Standards. " Page 6 of 12 Toxicity TestingLimitations imitations Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits issued to Major facilities or any facility discharging "complex" wastewater (contains anything other than domestic waste) will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements, with several exceptions. The State has received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in NPDES permits, using single concentration screening tests, with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test failure. Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: Upon expansion to a 1.2 MGD flow tier in 2015, The facility became a Major POTW, and a chronic WET limit at 82% effluent shall be applied on a quarterly frequency. Mercury Statewide TMDL Evaluation There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply with EPA's mercury fish tissue criteria (0.3 mg/kg) for human health protection. The TMDL established a wasteload allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year (81 lb/year), and is applicable to municipals and industrial facilities with known mercury discharges. Given the small contribution of mercury from point sources (-2% of total load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MMPs) for point source control. Municipal facilities > 2 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury (>l ng/1) will receive an MMP requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case -by -case basis, depending if mercury is a pollutant of concern. Effluent limits may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed the WQBEL value (based on the NC WQS of 12 ng/1) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL value of 47 ng/1 Table 2. Mercury Effluent Data Summary 2016 # of Samples 3 Annual Average Conc. n 0.5 Maximum Conc., n L 0.5 TBEL, p1VL 1 47 WQBEL, n 14.6 Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: Since no annual average mercury concentration exceeded the WQBEL, and no individual mercury sample exceeded the TBEL, no mercury limit is required. Since the facility is < 2 MGD and reported no quantifiable levels of mercury (> 1 ng/1), a mercury minimization plan (MMP) has not been added to the permit. Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strateiy Considerations If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation within this permit: NA Other WOBEL Considerations If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: NA Page 7 of 12 If applicable, describe any special actions (HQW or ORW) this receiving stream and classification shall comply with in order to protect the designated waterbody: The Newport River has a stream classification of C at the facility's discharge location in the White Oak River Basin but the river is tidally influenced. The classification of the river changes to SA HQW 7.4 miles downstream of the Newport discharge. In 2011, a monthly geometric average limit of 14/100 mL and weekly geometric average limit of 28/100 mL were added to the permit based on protection of the downstream SA waters and in accordance with DWR guidance for effluent fecal coliform monitoring and requirements in SA waters. If applicable, describe any compliance schedules proposed for this permit renewal in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H. 010 7(c) (2) (B), 40CFR 122.47, and EPA May 2007 Memo: NA If applicable, describe any water quality standards variances proposed in accordance with NCGS 143- 215.3(e) and 15A NCAC 2B. 0226 for this permit renewal: NA 7. Technology -Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs) Municipals ' Are concentration limits in the permit at least as stringent as secondary treatment requirements (30 mg1I BOD51TSS for Monthly Average, and 45 mg/l for BOD51TSS for Weekly Average). YES If NO, provide a justification for alternative limitations (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA Are 85% removal requirements for BOD51TSS included in the permit? YES If NO, provide a justification (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA If any limits are based on best professional judgement (BPJ), describe development: NA Document any TBELs that are more stringent than WQBELs: NA Document any TBELs that are less stringent than previous permit: NA 8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge): The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation review in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit must document an effort to consider non -discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.0105( c)(2). In all cases, existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is maintained and protected. If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: 9. Antibacksliding Review: Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(1) prohibit backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a Page 8 of 12 reissued permit to be as stringent as those in the previous permit, with some exceptions where limitations may be relaxed (e.g., based on new information, increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL limits, or WQBELs may be less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution). Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit (YES/NO): NO If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated: NA 10. Monitoring Requirements Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following regulations and guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 2B.0500; 2) NPDES Guidance, Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances (7/15/2010 Memo); 3) NPDES Guidance, Reduced Monitoring Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance (10/22/2012 Memo); 4) Best Professional Judgement (BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not considered effluent limitations under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti - backsliding prohibitions would not be triggered by reductions in monitoring frequencies. For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4 The Town of Newport applied for monitoring frequency reductions for BODS, Total Suspended Solids, NH3-N and Fecal Coliform in January 2017. Based on DWR Guidance Regarding the Reduction of Monitoring Frequencies in NPDES Permits for Exceptionally Performing Facilities, the Division has decided to grant the request. In 1993, a wasteload allocation (WLA) was conducted when the Town of Newport had informed the Division of their intent to accept and treat transfer station industrial wastewater. As a result of the WLA, oil and grease monitoring was incorporated into the permit in 1998 on a quarterly frequency. As the Town no longer accepts industrial wastewater of any kind and has consistently demonstrated no detectable levels of oil and grease in their effluent, oil and grease monitoring has been removed from the permit. 11. Electronic Reporting Requirements The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21, 2015. Effective December 21, 2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) electronically. Effective December 21, 2020, NPDES regulated facilities will be required to submit additional NPDES reports electronically. This permit contains the requirements for electronic reporting, consistent with Federal requirements. 12.Summary of Proposed Permitting Actions: Table 3.

Public Notice Schedule: Permit to Public Notice: 3/19/2019 & 5/27/2019 Per 15A NCAC 2H .0109 & .0111, The Division will receive comments for a period of 30 days following the publication date of the public notice. Any request for a public hearing shall be submitted to the Director within the 30 days comment period indicating the interest of the party filing such request and the reasons why a hearing is warranted. 14. Fact Sheet Addendum (if applicable): i ne Division received comments from the Town of Newport on May 3, 2019: Comment: The Town requests that the fecal coliform limits in the permit be changed to reflect the Class C waters to which their facility discharges instead of the class SA waters that exist approximately 7.4 miles downstream from the outfall. Response: In 2006, Shellfish Sanitation conducted a dye study which concluded that "the maximum flow the Town can discharge without affecting the current closure line is 1.5 MGD." In 2011, The Town requested the Division provide speculative effluent limits to reflect an expansion to 1.2 MGD. The Division consulted with D. Potts of Shellfish Sanitation at the time and determined that the 2006 dye study results are still applicable for the Newport discharge and the Newport River, and that, as long as the expanded flow is lower than 1.5 MGD, the shellfish closure line would not be affected. The lower speculative flow of 1.2 MGD would be allowed based on the study results and saltwater limits for fecal coliform and enterococcus bacteria should be applied. The speculative limits provided in response by the Division for fecal coliform were applied based on protection of the downstream SA waters. All speculative limits provided in the Division's response are in the current and proposed permits, with the exception of limit and monitoring requirements for Enterococci. Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act prohibits backsliding from existing effluent limitations, with certain exceptions outlined in 402(o)(2) of the Clean Water Act. As of this response, no outlined exceptions to the rule apply to NPDES permit NC0021555. However, according to section 402 (o) (2) (B) (i), relaxed limitations may be allowed in the event that new information (other than revised regulations, guidance, or test methods) is available that was not available at the time of permit issuance and that would have justified a less stringent effluent limitation. In the event that the Town of Newport submits new information, such as a fate and transport model of fecal coliform from the discharge point to the start of the SA waterbody downstream, that would justify a less stringent limit for fecal coliform, the Town may apply for modification of NPDES permit NC0021555. Comment: The Town requests the removal of the monthly limitation for bromodichloromethane and its inclusion in the Schedule of Compliance, as the facility requires the use of chlorination to reduce fecal coliform levels, is currently using post -aeration and still getting high results, introduction of chloramination would not work with the current chlorine contact chamber's designed contact time, and alternate disinfection methods would not be economically feasible. Response: In reviewing the results of the reasonable potential analysis, it was found that the evaluation of reasonable potential for bromodichloromethane was not consistent with Division practice. The initial evaluation analyzed the parameter as if it had a data set that was greater than 8 samples. Only 3 samples were provided for bromodichloromethane from the three effluent pollutant scans provided by the Permittee. Bromodichloromethane has been reevaluated in the attached RPA as part of a limited data set Page 11 of 12 and, as reasonable potential was found but no individual value exceeded the allowable discharge concentration, the limit has been removed and the monitoring frequency has been reduced to quarterly. As such, the schedule of compliance for bromodichloromethane has been removed from the permit. Comment: The Town requests the removal of the limitation for lead and monitoring requirement for copper and lead. Response: In reviewing the results of the reasonable potential analysis, it was found that the evaluation of reasonable potential for lead was not consistent with Division practice. The initial evaluation analyzed the parameter as if it had a data set that was greater than 8 samples. Only 3 samples were provided for lead from the three effluent pollutant scans provided by the Permittee. Lead has been reevaluated in the attached RPA as part of a limited data set and, as reasonable potential was found but no individual value exceeded the allowable discharge concentration, the limit has been removed and the monitoring frequency has been reduced to quarterly. As such, the schedule of compliance for lead has been removed from the permit. Analysis of total copper was consistent with Division practice and the quarterly monitoring requirement shall remain in the permit. As the limits for lead and bromodichloromethane have been removed from the permit, the permit has been submitted to public notice again on May 13, 2019. The draft permit was submitted to EPA Region 4, the DWR Wilmington Regional Office, the DWR Operator Certification Program, the DWR Aquatic Toxicology Branch, the DWR Shellfish Sanitation Program and the Town of Newport. The DWR Shellfish Sanitation Program concurs with the re -noticed draft permit. No comments were received from any of the other groups.

The US EPA subsequently approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016, with some exceptions. Therefore, metal limits in draft permits out to public notice after April 6, 2016 must be calculated to protect the new standards - as approved. Table 1.

However, application of the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge. The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream) hardness and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge. Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The discharge -specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal (more on that below), but it is also possible to consider case -specific translators developed in accordance with established methodology. RPA Permitting Guidance/WOBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern, based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based on applicable standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream. If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e. consistently below detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit. 1. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the following information: • Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q 10 (the spreadsheet automatically calculates the 1 Q 10 using the formula 1 Q 10 = 0.843 (s7Q 10, cfs) 0.993 • Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred • Permitted flow • Receiving stream classification 2. In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness -dependent metal of concern and for each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and instream (upstream) hardness values to use in the equations. The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for any hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for instream hardness values, upstream of the discharge. If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation using a default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)). Minimum and maximum limits on the hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400 mg/L, respectively. If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness -dependent metal showing reasonable potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site -specific effluent and upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using the new data. Page 2 of 4 Permit No. NCO021555 The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows: Combined Hardness (chronic) _ (Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. Effluent Hardness, mglL) + (s7Q 10, cfs *Ayg. Upstream Hardness, mg/L) (Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q 10, cfs) The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the IQ 10 flow. 3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total recoverable metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site -specific translators, if any have been developed using federally approved methodology. EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved" converts the value for dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in -stream ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients found in The Metals Translator: Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion (EPA 823-B-96-007, June 1996) and the equation: Cdiss = 1 Ctotal 1 + { [Kvo] [SS('+a'] [10 6] } Where: ss = in -stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1], minimum of 10 mg/L used, and Kpo and a = constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved and adsorbed forms of metals. A list of constants used for each hardness -dependent metal can also be found in the RPA program under a sheet labeled DPCs. 4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition coefficient (or site -specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist (le. silver), the dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion factor to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This method presumes that the metal is dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria development for metals. For more information on conversion factors see the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document. 5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable concentration (permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation: Ca = (s7Q 10 + Qw) (Cwgs) — (s7Q 10)(Cb) Qw Where: Ca = allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L) Cwqs = NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria (µg/L or mg/L) Cb = background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or mg/L) Qw = permitted effluent flow (cfs, match s7Q 10) s7Q 10 = summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from noncarcinogens (cfs) * Discussions are on -going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations Flows other than s7Q 10 may be incorporated as applicable: IQ 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity Page 3 of 4 Permit No. NC0021555 QA = used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from carcinogens 30Q2 = used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality 6. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of concern. Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date of the permit application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th percentile upper concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are compared to the Total allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary. If the predicted max exceeds the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations, the discharge is considered to show reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard, and a permit limit (Total allowable concentration) is included in the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support Document for Water Quality -Based Toxics Control published in 1991. 7. When appropriate, permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in accordance with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to Alexis Strauss on 40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements. 8. The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total chromium data results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical results based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum concentration (95th %) for total chromium will be -compared against water quality standards for chromium III and chromium VI. 9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness -dependent metals to ensure the accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset. 10.
