Briefly describe the proposed permitting action and facility background: United States Marine Corps Base,
Camp Lejeune (MCB CAMLEJ), herein called MCP CAMLEJ or Permittee, applied for an NPDES permit
renewal for Camp Lejeune Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The Permittee’s 5-year
NPDES permit expired on June 30, 2017. Camp Lejeune Advanced WWTP is a state-of-the-art facility that
began operation in 1998 and consolidated seven discharges. The facility serves Marine Corps Base Camp
Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River with a total population of 148,000. The facility’s average
discharge for the period of January 2014 through June 2019 was 4.4 MGD which accounts for ~ 29% of
the plant’s capacity. In conjunction with the renewal request, MCP CAMLEJ is requesting a reduction in
monitoring frequency to twice per week for BOD5, TSS, NH3-N and Enterococci. Such request was
evaluated and approved in this permit renewal (see fact sheet section 10. Monitoring Requirements).
MCP CAMLEJ receives waste streams from Onslow Water and Sewer Authority (ONWASA), Naval
Medical Center (NMC), Oil Water Separators (OWS), Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Facility (MSWLF)
leachate, Solid Waste Compost Facility (SWCF) runoff, four Water Treatment plants (WTPs) filter
backwash and seven remedial treatment plants. The remediation systems include: Installation Restoration
(IR) Site 78 North, IR Site 78 South, AS -4141, HPFF South East Compound, New River PPV, TC-341
Pipeline and Rapid Refueler (attached the description of each site). RCRA Sites AS-4141 and Rapid
Refueler have been shut down since the discovery of Per - and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in their
effluent. No other sources of PFAS have been identified flowing to the facility. The Permittee i s requesting
to include both AS-4141 and Rapid Refueler sites in the permit and a special condition to be added which
requires the Permittee to notify the Division at least 60 days prior to either of these two sites beginning to
discharge to the WWTP. Upon notification to the Division, the Permittee will provide analytical results
which confirm the combined PFOS/PFOA detections are below 70 part per trillion (ppt) or any other
regulatory established level. See permit Special Conditions A. (8.) and A. (9.).
According to 2007 White Oak River Basin Plan, Nutrient enrichment has been a significant problem in the
estuarine portions of the New River, and periodic elevated fecal coliform bacteria levels also appear to be
a recurring problem in this subbasin (03-05-02). High nutrient levels were being discharged by the City of
Jacksonville as well as Camp Lejeune. In 1998, Jacksonville removed its discharge from the upper New
River estuary and Camp Lejeune consolidated its seven discharges into one tertiary treatment facility. These
discharges were considered a major source of nutrients into the upper estuarine portions of the New River.
As a result, a reduction of nitrogen and phosphorous, 57 and 71 percent respectively, has occurred.

4. 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/l 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: The current permit requires twice-per-month instream sampling during summer season (April-
October) for physical (DO, Salinity, Temperature, Conductivity, pH, and Secchi Depth) and
chemical/biological parameters (Total Phosphorus, NH3-N, TKN, Nitrate and Nitrite, Chlorophyll-a and
Fecal Coliform). These parameters are collected at nine instream monitoring stations: three stations are
located upstream of the diffuser at Farnell Bay Transect (stations #4 - #6), three stations are located near
the diffuser at Spring Point Transect (stations #7 - #9) and three stations are downstream of the diffuser at
Grey Point Transect (stations #10 - #12).
Page 5 of 15
Physical Parameters:
A review of instream data from April 2017 through October 2018 shows few differences between upstream
and downstream sampling results. In 2017, the DO sampling results were generally above 5 mg/L except
in July where the DO concentrations at the far downstream (station # 12) were below 5 mg/L. Such low
DO concentrations were also observed at the upstream station # 6. In 2018, DO concentrations below 5
mg/L were noted for one day (June 26) at all downstream locations (stations #10 - #12) while DO
concentrations at the diffuser and upstream (stations #4 - #9) were above 5.0 mg/L; ranging from 4.49 –
4.8 mg/L for, 5.3 to 6.45 mg/L and 6.4 to 6.51 mg/L, respectively. The effluent DO at that day was 6.9
mg/L. Similarly, DO concentrations in August 8 at the far downstream locations (stations #11 - #12) were
below 5.0 mg/L while the DO concentrations at all other stations (#4 - #10) were above 5.0 mg/L. The
effluent DO at that day was 7.0 mg/L.
pH values were fairly close; however, the values were mainly below the normal range of 6.8-8.5 for SC
water. The average effluent pH was 8. Salinity values were fairly close among all locations. Conductivity
increased from upstream to downstream sampling sites. Conductivity ranged from 18,340 to 24,510
µmhos/cm.
15A NCAC 02B .0220(17) states that temperature of tidal salt water “shall not be increased above the
natural water temperature by more than 0.8 °C during the months of June, July, and August nor more than
2.2 °C during other months and in no cases to exceed 32 °C due to the discharge of heated liquids.”
Temperature values were nearly identical between upstream and downstream sites with a maximum
differential being 1.1 0C, more than the standard increase of 0.8 °C, during the months of June, July and
August and 1.6 0C, within the standard increase of 2.2 °C, during the rest of the year. Temperature maxima
were below the standard of 32 °C at all locations.
Chemical/Biological Parameters:
Fecal Coliform is a parameter of concern for the protection of aquatic life and human health. Downstream
coliform counts had a lower average than did the upstream (geometric means ranged from < 1 to 1000
cfu/100 mL for upstream stations (#4 - #6) and < 1 to 250 cfu/100 mL for downstream stations (#10 - #12)).
In 2017, the Chlorophyll-a results were mainly less than the standard of 40 g/L except in August 17 when
the concentrations were 44 µg/L at the upstream station #4 and 48 µg/L at downstream station #10.
Similarly, Chlorophyll-a concentrations of 49 µg/L, 54 µg/L and 42 µg/L were observed at downstream
station #10 and near the diffuser stations #7 and #8, respectively. In 2018, Chlorophyll-a in the 52-68 µg/L
range were noted for one day (June 26) at the upstream stations (#4 - #6) while the concentrations were in
the 19-23 µg/L range across all the diffuser and downstream sampling sta tions. Chlorophyll-a
concentrations above the standard of 40 µg/L was also noted for one day (August 7) at the downstream
stations #11 (45 µg/L) and #12 (41µg/L), upstream station #6 (41 µg/L) and near the diffuser station #7 (48
µg/L).
Most of TP, NH3-N and Nitrate and Nitrite were not detected among all sampling stations. TKN values
were fairly close ranging from < 0.5 to 7.6 mg/L for upstream locations (stations #4 - #6), < 0.5 – 7.5 mg/L
near the diffuser (stations #7 - #9) and < 0.5 – 5.6 mg/L for downstream locations (stations #10 - #12).
Instream data is summarized in table 4. Overall, no changes are proposed for instream monitoring.

5. Compliance Summary
Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): The facility had one limit
violation for BOD daily maximum exceedance that resulted in an NOV in 2018.
Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results (past
5 years): The facility passed 20 of 20 quarterly chronic toxicity tests, as well as all 4 second species chronic
toxicity tests.
Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The last facility inspection conducted
in 2019 reported that the facility was operating properly.
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 HH); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH).
If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMIX model results):
CORMIX model was performed in 1995, resulting in 20:1 dilution (5% IWC) at the outfall.
If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0204(b): No mixing
zone was established.
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.
If permit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed: Limitations for BOD
are based on 1992 Waste Load Allocation (WLA) using Georgia Estuary Model (GAEST) for instream DO
protection. No changes are proposed from the previous permit limits.
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/l (summer) and 1.8 mg/l (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/l) and capped at 28 ug/l (acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all T RC values
reported below 50 ug/l are considered compliant with their permit limit.
Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: The TRC limit set
at 13 µg/L per the EPA NRWQC for saltwater aquatic life protection.
Page 8 of 15
NH3-N limits are based on 1992 Waste Load Allocation (WLA) using Georgia Estuary Model (GAEST).
No changes for TRC and NH3-N are proposed from the previous permit limits. Table 5 summarizes the
NH3-N Limits.
Table 5. NH3-N Limit
Season Monthly Avg. (mg/L) Daily Max. (mg/L)
Summer 2.0 10.0
Winter 4.0 20.0
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 ½ 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 December 2013
and August 2016. 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: Total
Phenolic Compounds, Nickel, Zinc
• 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 c oncentration: NA
If applicable, attach a spreadsheet of the RPA results as well as a copy of the Dissolved Metals
Implementation Fact Sheet for freshwater/saltwater to this Fact Sheet. Include a printout of the RPA
Dissolved to Total Metal Calculator sheet if this is a Municipality with a Pretreatment Program.

Toxicity Testing Limitations
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: This is a major Federally Owned Treatment Work (FOTW),
and a chronic WET limit at 5% effluent will continue 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 (>1 ng/l) 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/l) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL value of 47 ng/l
Table 6. Mercury Effluent Data Summary

Maximum Conc., ng/L 0.87 0.5 0.62 0.5
TBEL, ng/L 47
WQBEL, ng/L 500.3
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.
Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations
If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation within
this permit: “The New River was classified as a Nutrient Sensitive Water due to excessive growth of
microscopic and/or macroscopic vegetation. Based on results of water quality sampling from June 1986 to
September 1989, the NSW regulations were amended to include the New River above Grey Point. Per the
NSW regulations, 15 A NCAC 2B .0214, and the implementation plan for the New River basin, a Total
Phosphorus limit of 2 mg/L is required of all existing discharges with design flow rates of 0.05 MGD or
greater. All new and expanded discharges above Grey Point are required to meet a Total Phosphorus limit
of 0.5 mg/L regardless of design capacity. More stringent controls on nutrient inputs such as a Total
Page 10 of 15
Nitrogen effluent limit may be required in the future on a case-by-case basis” (Summary Report: Camp
Lejeune: Wasteload Allocation for the expansion of Hadnot Point WWTP to 15 MGD, December 1992).
Phosphorus: The Permittee’s 0.5 mg/L Total Phosphorus limit f or the summer season (April through
October) and 1.0 mg/L Total Phosphorus limit for winter season (November through March) are in
accordance with 1992 NSW strategy for expanding discharges in the New River.
Nitrogen: The Permittee’s 251,356 pounds/year Total Annual Nitrogen (TAN) Load, calculated based on
total nitrogen concentration of 5.5 mg/L at 15 MGD, is in accordance with G.S 143-215.1c1 for NSW and
HB515.
Other WQBEL Considerations
If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: NA
If applicable, describe any special actions (HQW or ORW) this receiving stream and classification shall
comply with in order to protect the designated waterbody: Due to proximity of SA, HQW that are open to
shellfish harvesting and the concerns of Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF), instream monitoring of Fecal
Coliform was added to the current permit issued in 2013.
If applicable, describe any compliance schedules proposed for this permit renewal in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0107( 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

If the ELG is based on production or flow, document how the average production/flow value was
calculated: NA
For ELG limits, document the calculations used to develop TBEL limits: 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.
Page 11 of 15
If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives
Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: NA
9. Antibacksliding Review:
Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(l) prohibit
backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a
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 Permittee has requested reduced monitoring frequencies for BOD5, TSS, Ammonia-N (NH3-N) and
Enterococci. Review of effluent data from June 2016 through June 2019 for the above parameters revealed
that the facility’s performance satisfies the criteria established in the “DWQ Guidance Regarding the
Reduction of Monitoring Frequencies in NPDES Permits for Exceptionally Performing Facilities” and
justifies reduced monitoring for these parameters. Attached to the fact sheet is the Data Summary for
Reduced NPDES Permit Monitoring Frequency. Therefore, the reduced monitoring frequencies of 2/week
have been added to the permit for BOD5, TSS, NH3-N and Enterococci.
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. Th is permit contains the requirements for electronic reporting,
consistent with Federal requirements.

Were there any changes made since the Draft Permit was public noticed (Yes/No): YES
If Yes, list changes and their basis below:
Page 14 of 15
Comment 1: Thank you for including the reduced monitoring frequency for effluent monitoring
(Condition A(1)), per the “Reduction of Monitoring Frequencies in NPDES Permits for Exceptionally
Performing Facilities” DWQ guidance. We would also like to respectfully request that the instream
monitoring frequency (Condition A(2)) be reduced to monthly.
Response: Per discussion with DWR Basin Planning, we are unable to complete this request at this time.
Comment 2: We respectfully request that Condition A(8) be amended/clarified to address other sources of
PFOS/PFOA-containing water, and not just be limited to remediation discharges. This would provide us
some flexibility to address future needs we are not yet aware of. Additionally, we request that the first
sentence of the Condition (“The Permittee shall not discharge groundwater remediation wastewaters
containing PFOS/PFOA compounds to their Wastewater Treatment Plant.”) be amended/clarified. As it is
currently written, it appears contradictory given that there ARE conditions when PFOS/PFOA-containing
water can be discharged to the WWTP (Condition A(9) for example). We have proposed some changes to
Condition A(8) below. Please note the proposed change to the title of Condition A(8) as well.
“A. (8.) GROUNDWATER DISCHARGES RESTRICITON
[G.S. 143-215.1(a)]
The Permittee shall not discharge groundwater remediation wastewaters or other wastewaters containing
PFOS/PFOA compounds to their Wastewater Treatment Plant unless the following condition is met: The
Permittee shall submit a revised application identifying such pollutants along with analytical results
which confirm the combined PFOS/PFOA detections are below 70 parts per trillion (ppt) or any other
Local, State, or Federal regulatory established level. If such pollutants have been detected in a
groundwater remediation waste stream or other waste stream, the Permittee shall submit a revised
application identifying such pollutants along with analytical results which confirm the combined
PFOS/PFOA detections are below 70 parts per trillion (ppt) or any other Local, State, or Federal
regulatory established level.”
Response: Special Condition A. (8.) has been updated per the permittee’s request.

NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards – Saltwater Standards
The NC 2007-2015 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA subsequently
approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016, with some exceptions. Therefore, metals limits in draft
permits out to public notice after April 6, 2016 must be calculated to protect the new standards - as
approved.

2. Calculation = Hardness dependent standard
3. Only the aquatic life standards listed above are expressed in dissolved form. Aquatic life
standards for Mercury and selenium are still expressed as Total Recoverable Metals due to
bioaccumulative concerns (as are all human health standards for all metals). It is still necessary
to evaluate total recoverable aquatic life and human health standards listed in 15A NCAC
2B.0200 (e.g., arsenic at 10 µg/l for human health protection; cyanide at 5 µg/L and fluoride at
1.8 mg/L for aquatic life protection).
General Information on the Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
The RPA process itself did not change as the result of the new metals standards. However, application of
the dissolved metal standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the numeric standard
for each metal of concern of each individual discharge. Note that none of the saltwater standards are
hardness-dependent.
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 conversion factors determined by EPA (more on that below), but it
is also possible to consider case-specific translators developed in accordance with established
methodology.
RPA Permitting Guidance – Discharges to Saltwater (Tidal waters)
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 stream dilution. For discharges to saltwater, no allowance for dilution is given unless a
dilution study, such as a CORMIX model, is performed.
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.
Permit No. NC0063029
Page 2 of 3
1. To perform a RPA using the saltwater dissolved metal standards, the Permit Writer compiles the
following information:
• Permitted flow
• Receiving stream classification
• Instream Wastewater Concentration, if a dilution model has been performed
2. The RPA spreadsheet converts the dissolved numeric standard (SW standards listed in Table 1.)
for each metal of concern to a total recoverable metal, using the EPA conversion factors
published in the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document. This method presumes that the
metal is dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA’s criteria development for metals.
3. The dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion
factor (or site-specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions.
4. If a dilution study was performed on the receiving stream and an Instream Wastewater
Concentration (IWC) determined the RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine
the total allowable concentration (permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation:
Ca = (s7Q10 + Qw) (Cwqs) – (s7Q10) (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 7Q10 units)
s7Q10 = summer, critical low flow (cfs)
* Discussions are on-going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations
Assuming no background concentration, this equation can be reduced to:
Ca = (s7Q10 + Qw) (Cwqs) or Ca = Cwqs

If no dilution study has been performed Ca, the allowable effluent concentration, is equal to the
Total Recoverable Metal determined at ambient conditions (ie. the dissolved numeric standard
divided by the EPA conversion factor (or site-specific translator) for the metal of concern). See
item # 3 above.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with a hexavalent chromium standard.
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 VI. In these cases, the projected
maximum concentration (95th %) for total chromium will be compared against the water quality
standard chromium VI.

Saltwater streams are tidal resulting in all IWC % = 100%.
If an approved model is conducted then a chronic dilution
factor is determined and can be applied to a discharge to
calculate its IWC % . If a stream is classified as a SA or
ORW then its is also classified as a HQW. The appropriate
IWC % must be defined to properly calculate WQS-based
limits.
To apply a Model IWC%: Enter

History of WLA
Camp Lejeune operates seven facilities discharging into the New River or
adjacent waters. Four of them discharge into a NSW area, including outfalls in Northeast
Creek and in the New River just upstream of Wilson Bay. The seven WWTPs are being
consolidated into a single advanced treatment facility which will be constructed at the site
of the current Hadnot Point plant.

scheduled for completion by December, 1998.
The USMC was issued a 15 MGD permit for the new plant which became
effective January 1, 1995. This WLA (#8528) is for a renewal of the 15 MGD permit and
will be issued as a five year permit on the White Oak Basin Plan schedule.
Betsy Johnson conducted the original WLA modeling using the Georgia Estuary
Model (GAEST). A summary report on the modeling analysis was completed in Dec. GOON! 1
1992 and recommended that summer limits of BOD5=5 mg/L and NH3-N=2 m5 would
protect water quality standards under certain reaeration conditions. The odeling wor
suggested nutrient limits which would be considerably less than what could be achieved
using current treatment technology. Therefore, a TP limit of 0.5 mg/L was recommended
in the report in accordance with the NSW strategy for expanding discharges in the New
River drainage. BPJ was used to recommend
the saltwatele r llimits
mo t c criteria of (o�5 ug 1
ug/L chlorine limit was recommended based
and a dilution factor of 2.5:1 calculated using CORMIX. This dilution factor was later
modified but the chlorine limit remained unchanged. An Oil and Grease limit was
recommended based on information

The Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) expressed concerns about changes in
salinity in the vicinity of the discharge. DMF suggested that a salinity_change of <= 3
ppm would be desirable. In 1995 Jim Blose used CORMIX to evaluate diffuser designs
proposed by the USMC and determined that a diffuser providing a 20:1 dilution ratio
would satisfy the DMF's salinity criteria.
In light of the eutrophication problems in the New River, extensive instream
monitoring was recommended at numerous stations up and downstream of the discharge
for both the 8 and 15 MGD permits.
