Box 70, Mount Airy, NC 27030 Facility Address: 1750 Andy Griffith Parkway South, Mount Airy, NC 27030 Permitted Flow: 7.0 MGD Facility Type/Waste: MAJOR Municipal; 99% domestic, 1% industrial' Facility Class: Grade IV Treatment Units: Screening, Grit Removal, Primary Clarifiers, Trickling Filters, Aeration, Final Clarifiers, Chlorination, Dechlorination, Cascade Aeration Pretreatment Program (Y/N) Yes County: Surry Region Winston-Salem 'From permitted industrial flow of 0.065 MGD. Briefly describe the proposed permitting action and facility background: The City of Mount Airy has applied for an NPDES permit renewal for its Mount Airy WWTP, received by DWR on August 24, 2018. This was followed by test results of four additional parameters (Antimony, Beryllium, Thallium and Total Phenolic Compounds) not included in the October 2015 Primary Pollutant Analysis (PPA), received on Page 1 of 13 September 25, 2018. Review of the application found it complete with three PPAs (sampled July 2015, October 2016, and January 2017) and four 2nd species toxicity test reports (sampled July 2015, October 2016, January 2017, and April 2018). This 7.0 MGD facility serves a population of 10,347 residents in the City of Mount Airy. The WWTP treats a combination of domestic and industrial wastewater with a pretreatment program involving one Significant Industrial User (SIU): Hanesbrands, Inc. (textiles: Sock Manufacturing) listed in its application. However, Hanesbrands closed in December 2019. Mount Airy has a new SIU: Professional Rental Service (commercial laundry facility) with effective date February 1, 2020, and permitted flow 0.065 MGD. 2. Receiving Waterbody Information Receiving Waterbody Information Outfalls/Receiving Stream(s): Outfall 001/Ararat River Stream Segment: 12-72-(4.5) Stream Classification: C Drainage Area (mi2): 75.2 Summer 7Q10 (cfs) 14.9 Winter 7Q10 (cfs): 31 30Q2 (cfs): Average Flow (cfs): 90 IWC (% effluent): 42% 303(d) listed/parameter: Turbidity Subject to TMDL/parameter: State-wide Mercury TMDL Basin/Sub-basm/HUC: Yadkin Pee Dee/03-07-03/03040101 USGS Topo Quad: B 16NE/Mt Airy South, NC The receiving stream segment of Ararat River is impaired due to Turbidity per the 2018 NC 303(d) list. According to the 2008 Yadkin - Pee Dee River Basin Plan, potential sources include stormwater runoff and impervious surfaces. The Basin Plan recommends restoration plans for watersheds impaired or impacted by Turbidity violations in Yadkin River headwaters, including the watershed wherein the receiving water lies. 3. Effluent Data Summary Effluent data for Outfall 001 is summarized in Table 1 for the period of April 2016 through March 2020. Table 1. Effluent Data Summary Outfall 001.

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). Page 3of13 If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will be proposed for this permit action: The current permit requires instream monitoring for Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Temperature. Three instream monitoring locations are in the current permit: one upstream at NC Hwy 52, and two downstream: 1) approximately 1.0 mile below the discharge before the confluence with Stewarts Creek, and 2) approximately 6.0 miles below the discharge before the confluence with Caddle Creek. The second downstream location has been carried over from the previous permit. Instream sampling is provisionally waived as the Permittee is a member of the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin Association (YPDRBA). Instream monitoring data are available from YPDRBA stations Q1500000 — Ararat River at NC 52 near Mt Airy (same as the permit upstream location) and Q1935000 — Ararat River at SR 2044 near Pilot Mountain, 14 river miles downstream from the discharge and downstream of the Pilot Mtn WWTP (NC0026646) discharge. Instream data were requested from the DWR Water Sciences Section's Monitoring Coalition Coordinator for review. Data were reviewed from April 2016 through December 2019 and were compared against state water quality standards where applicable. As the data were sampled synchronously at both locations, up- to downstream differences were tested by paired two -sample t-test for means with the significance level (p- value) set at 0.05. Instream data review findings for each parameter are summarized below. Dissolved Oxygen (DO) — DO remains in the permit as a parameter of concern for aquatic life. The receiving stream segment of the Ararat River is meeting the criteria for DO (instantaneous minima of 4 mg/L for aquatic life in freshwater) according to the Final 2018 Integrated Report. Reviewed instream DO data showed seasonal patterns of summer lows and winter highs. Instream summer minima were above the 5 mg/L daily average water quality standard for non -trout waters (15A NCAC 02B .0211) at both locations. Downstream DO was higher (average = 8.5 mg/L; range: 6.5-11.7 mg/L) than that upstream (average = 8.2 mg/L; range: 6.3-11.8 mg/L), testing significantly higher on average (t-test, p < 0.0001). Concurrent effluent DO averaged 9.2 mg/L, higher than either instream average with a range of 7.0-18.6 mg/L. Effluent DO does not appear to negatively impact instream DO levels. Temperature — Temperature remains in the permit as a parameter of concern for aquatic life. The receiving stream segment of the Ararat River is meeting the criteria for Temperature (29°C for aquatic life in upper piedmont and mountain waters) according to the Final 2018 Integrated Report. Reviewed instream temperature data showed seasonal patterns of summer highs and winter lows at both locations. Downstream temperature was slightly lower (average = 18.5 °C; range: 6.1-26.1 °C) than that upstream (average = 18.9 °C; range: 6.1-27.6 °C) and a statistically significant difference did exist (t-test,p < 0.0005). Temperature maxima were below the water quality standard of 29°C for upper piedmont and mountain waters (15A NCAC 02B .0211) at both locations. The highest upstream to downstream temperature increase was 1.5 °C, below the 2.8 °C increase standard. The concurrent effluent temperatures averaged higher overall at 19.2 °C with higher winter minima (range: 9-26 'Q. Conductivity — Conductivity (Specific Conductance) is a parameter of concern due to industrial discharges; however, this parameter is not in the permit for instream monitoring. Reviewed data from coalition monitoring showed the downstream average of 90 µS/cm (range: 50-119 µS/cm) to be significantly lower than the upstream average of 112 µS/cm (range: 50-165 µS/cm). Conductivity levels in both sites dropped substantially in August -September 2018 from an average of 121 µS/cm (range: 70-165 µS/cm) to 61 µS/cm (range: 50-88 µS/cm). Concurrent effluent Conductivity data (expressed as µmho/cm, which is equivalent to µS/cm) averaged substantially higher at 452 µmho/cm (range: 275-573 µmho/cm). Comparisons of the three data sets suggest that the effluent is not impacting the instream conductivity. Therefore, instream conductivity monitoring is not needed and was not added to the permit. Fecal Coliform — Fecal Coliform is a parameter of concern for aquatic life and human health. The downstream coliform count geometric mean was 108 cfu/100 mL (range: 46-9200 cfu/100 mL), while the upstream was 180 cfu/100 mL (range: 56-9800 cfu/100 mL). Concurrent effluent coliform counts were substantially lower with a geometric mean of 8 cfu/100 mL (range: < 1-145 cfu/100 mL). Page 4 of 13 Per the Division's 2002 Instream Conductivity and Fecal Coliform Monitoring Guidance, Fecal Coliform monitoring is not required unless the receiving stream is either a Class B waterbody or is impaired due to coliform. The receiving water is neither, so instream monitoring for coliform is not required and was not added to the permit. Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (YIN): YES. Name of Monitoring Coalition: Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin Association. 5. Compliance Summary Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): From April 2015 through April 2020, one violation resulted in an action: a BOD weekly geometric mean exceedance of 426.44 cfu/100 mL on 7/11/2015, resulting in an issuance of a Notice of Deficiency. Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results (past 5 years): The facility passed 17 of 17 quarterly chronic toxicity tests from January 2016 through January 2020, as well as all four 2nd species tests, sampled in July 2015, October 2016, January 2017, and April 2018). Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The most recent facility inspection, conducted on 11/28/2018, reported no compliance issues. The most recent pretreatment compliance inspection, conducted on 6/04/2019, also reported no compliance issues. 6. Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) Dilution and Mixing Zones In accordance with 15A NCAC 213.0206, 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): 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: BOD limits are based on a water quality model and shall be maintained in the permit. 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. Page 5 of 13 Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection of aquatic life (17 µg/L) and capped at 28 µg/L (acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values reported below 50 µg/L are considered compliant with their permit limit. Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: Ammonia limits in the permit are based on a water quality model for oxygen -consuming waste. Toxicity -based Ammonia was reviewed in the attached Wasteload Allocation (WLA) sheet using the flow design of 7.0 MGD and receiving stream low flows of summer 7Q10 = 14.9 cfs and winter 7Q10 = 31.0 cfs. The resulting allowable concentrations were 2.1/6.3 mg/L monthly average/weekly average for summer, and 6.3/18.9 mg/L monthly average/weekly average for winter. Because they are more stringent, the calculated toxicity -based limits were added to the permit. A review of DMR data from April 2015 through March 2020 against the proposed limits show that the lowered summer limits can be met without difficulty. The ORC attributed the elevated values to cold temperatures, and does not take issue with the proposed limits. Ammonia-N (NH3-N) Proposed Limits WkAvg Mo Avg WA Limit MA Limit 20 18 16 14 12 n� 10 E 8 1P O,� OHO Oti1 O,y'1 ZN D,y� O� ati� Oti0 1'1'ti y4i�ti Obo\N 15 C),til,�ti 1,1 y6 y y�ti�ti �,K'y The current TRC limit of 28 µg/L was first established in the permit in 2004 as capped to protect against acute impacts in the receiving water per the then new TRC policy. WLA calculations for TRC also cap the allowable concentration at 28 µg/L. The current TRC limit has been maintained in the permit. 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 '/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. Page 6 of 13 A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected from April 2016 through January 2020. 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: Copper, Zinc. • 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: None. • 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: Arsenic, Beryllium, Cadmium, Chlorides, Total Phenols, Total Chromium, Cyanide, Lead, Molybdenum, Nickel, Selenium, Silver. • 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: None. 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: None. 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. Toxicily 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 facility is a Major POTW, and a chronic WET limit at 42% effluent will continue on a quarterly frequency. The WET limit is based on the Instream Waste Concentration (IWC) as calculated from the design flow of 7.0 MGD and the receiving stream 7Q10s of 14.9 cfs (WET Permitting Limits and Monitoring Requirements guidance memo, 8/2/ 1999). 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. Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: A Mercury Minimization Plan (MMP) special condition was added to the permit in 2014. The MMP was prepared in January 2015 as referenced Page 7 of 13 in the permit application cover letter. An MMP summary was referenced in the cover letter to the application, which was requested for review. The summary was prepared for the renewal in August 2018 and includes several actions that were taken to reduce mercury from entering the WWTP. Submitted low level mercury data from January 2017 through January 2020 were reviewed for TMDL evaluation. All data were detected with no averages exceeding the TBEL of 47 ng/L and no individual values exceeding the WQBEL of 28.5 ng/L (Table 2). Because the design flow is > 2 MGD and mercury was detected in the effluent, an MMP is required. Therefore, the MMP special condition has been reworded to maintain the MMP. Table 2.

To address this impairment, the permit has a nutrient reopener special condition for any future TMDL and/or nutrient management strategy. The special condition was modified to include any future nutrient criteria. 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: NA. 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: A 3-yr compliance schedule with a WER study option has been added for Total Copper limits to allow for additional data collection and development and implementation of a compliance strategy. 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 (if not applicable, delete and skip to Industrials) Are concentration limits in the permit at least as stringent as secondary treatment requirements (30 mg/L BODs/TSS for Monthly Average, and 45 mg/L for BODs/TSS 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. Page 8 of 13 If NO, provide a justification (e.g., waste stabilization pond). 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 213.0201. 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: NA. 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 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 (YESINO): 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 213.0500; 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. The Permittee requested reduced monitoring frequencies for BOD, TSS and Fecal Coliform on September 11, 2020, during the Public Comment period, demonstrating eligibility criteria were met. Submitted effluent data for the past three years (August 1, 2017 - July 31, 2020) were evaluated against numerical criteria. Review of the data showed them to meet the criteria for reduced monitoring frequencies for the three eligible parameters (Table 3). Therefore, monitoring frequencies has been reduced from daily to 2/week for BOD, TSS and Fecal Coliform as requested. Page 9 of 13 Table 3.

For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4. 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 4.

Fact Sheet Addendum (if applicable): Were there any changes made since the Draft Permit was public noticed (Yes/No): Only the Permittee provided comments, most of which were questions for clarity of proposed permit details. Among those were regarding reduced monitoring frequency for target parameters. A request for reduced monitoring frequencies for BOD, TSS and Fecal Coliform was received for evaluation. If Yes, list changes and their basis below: • Monitoring frequencies for BOD, TSS and Fecal Coliform were reduced from daily to 2/week based on data evaluation. • Effluent conductivity monitoring has been reset from daily to weekly for consistency with previous permits and evaluation of effluent data which shows no impact on instream conductivity. 16.

Turbidity is a measure of cloudiness in water and is often accompanied with excessive sediment deposits in the streambed. Excessive sediments deposited on stream and lake bottoms can choke spawning beds (reducing fish survival and growth rates), damage fish food sources, fill in pools (reducing cover from prey and high temperature refuges), and reduce habitat complexity in stream channels. Excessive suspended sediments can make it more difficult for fish to find prey and at high levels can cause direct physical harm, such as clogged gills. Sediments can cause taste and odor problems, block water supply intakes, foul water treatment systems, and fill reservoirs. (USEPA, 1999 and Waters, 1995). Sand and silt were noted in the stream substrate at many of the biological sample sites in the Yadkin River Headwaters. FIGURE 1 -5. TURBIDITY VIOLATIONS Percentage of Turbidity Violation: Percent >50 NTU 01.: ❑ yc - 1 it D 1190 - 1 yo 16% - M-o 22% 2Yo Soil erosion is the most common source of turbidity and sedimentation and while some erosion is a natural phenomenon, human land use practices accelerate the process to unhealthy levels. Construction sites, mining operations, agricultural operations, logging operations, excessive stormwater flow off impervious surfaces are all potential sources. The distribution of turbidity violations and sample locations make it difficult to isolate a single source of erosion in the Yadkin River Headwaters. It appears, however, violations are highest in the Yadkin River mainstem, agricultural areas, and transitional suburban areas. Violations are lowest in the upper watershed where landuse is predominantly forest. This trend demonstrates the importance of protecting and conserving stream buffers and natural areas. It is likely that a combination of human caused land disturbances and natural erosion are causing the majority of turbidity violations in this watershed, with human causes the leading contributor. To appropriately address turbidity and sediment problems in the Yadkin River Headwaters, an assessment to determine the contribution of human accelerated erosion sources relative to natural processes should be undertaken. All reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate human sources of erosion should be implemented immediately. These efforts can be organized by developing watershed restoration plans based on the process outlined in Figure 1-3. Plans are needed for each watershed listed below. TABLE 1 -2.

Permit No. NC0021121 NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards - Freshwater 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, 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/WQBELs 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. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the following information: • Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10 (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 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. NCO021121 The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows: Combined Hardness (chronic) _ (Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. Effluent Hardness, mg/L) + (s7Q10, cfs *Avg. Upstream Hardness, mg/L) (Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q10, cfs) The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the 1Q10 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 - I Ctotal I + { [Kpo] [ss(I+a)] [10 6] i 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 = (s7Q10 + Qw) (Cwgs) — (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 s7Q10) s7Q10 = 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 s7Q10 may be incorporated as applicable: 1Q10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity Page 3 of 4 Permit No. NC0021121 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 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. 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.

The following is a summary of activities: • Various information was used to determine the potential for users of the sewer system to contribute mercury. • A list of system of users, both domestic & non -domestic, was developed. • The list of users was surveyed and the City continues to survey ten percent (10%) of these users annually. • Substances containing mercury at the WWTP, including the laboratory, were evaluated and replaced wherever practical. • Spill control measures and personnel training have been addressed in the City's Spill Prevention and Chemical Hygiene Plans. • New sources of non -domestic mercury are being surveyed along with Industrial Waste Surveys as necessary. • Educational information regarding sources of household mercury, disposal practices, and community collection points are posted on the City's website. This information is also included with a monthly water bill annually. • The City has and continues to monitor influent and effluent mercury concentrations quarterly as per its Long Term Monitoring Plan (LTMP) 5/27/20 WQS = 12 ng/L MERCURY WQBEL/TBEL EVALUATION V:2013-6 Facility Name Mt Airy WWTP / NC0021121 No Limit Required /Permit No. MMP Required Total Mercury 1631E PQL = 0.5 ng/L 7Q10s = 14.900 cfs WQBEL = 28.48 ng/L Date Modifier Data Entry Value Permitted Flow = 7.000 47 ng/L 1/10/17 6.28 6.28 4/4/17 2.42 2.42 7/11/17 7.83 7.83 10/10/17 6.43 6.43 5.7 ng/L - Annual Average for 2017 1/9/18 4.32 4.32 4/10/18 1.32 1.32 7/10/18 1.64 1.64 10/2/18 1.56 1.56 2.2 ng/L - Annual Average for 2018 1/8/19 3.48 3.48 4/2/19 1.87 1.87 7/9/19 5.07 5.07 10/8/19 3.05 3.05 3.4 ng/L - Annual Average for 2019 1/14/20 2.82 2.82 2.8 ng/L - Annual Average for 2020 Mt Airy WWTP / NCO021121 Mercury Data Statistics (Method 1631E) 2017 2018 2019 2020 # of Samples 4 4 4 1 Annual Average, ng/L 5.7 2.2 3.4 2.8 Maximum Value, ng/L 7.83 4.32 5.07 2.82 TBEL, ng/L 47 WOBEL, ng/L 28.5 Answers to questions from Chris Marion (ORC/Permittee) during draft permit public comment period. What is meant by Regulatory citations have been added? Regulatory citations are the citations to state rules that each permit section refer to and are in brackets following the section header. For example: A. (1.) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS - Outfa11001 [15A NCAC 02B .0400 et seq., 02B .0500 et seq.] Regulatory citation Why has the Ammonia sample frequency increased from 3 per week to daily? As ammonia is water quality limited, and in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0508 regarding minimum requirements for Domestic Wastewater and Other Facilities Discharging Primarily Domestic (SIC 4952), Class IV facilities shall monitor for ammonia at a frequency of at least daily. Why has the Conductivity sample frequency increased from weekly to daily? In accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0508 regarding minimum requirements for Domestic Wastewater and Other Facilities Discharging Primarily Domestic (SIC 4952), Class IV facilities shall monitor for conductivity at a frequency of at least daily. However, since a review of the instream and effluent data found the effluent not to impact the instream conductivity, and a review of past permits revealing weekly monitoring for effluent conductivity, the frequency will be reset to weekly. Why does Copper have both monthly average and daily max limits and Zinc doesn't? Calculation of zinc limits resulted with the daily maximum to be lower than the monthly average, which is counterintuitive and can cause problems in compliance should a sample be above the daily maximum yet lower than the monthly average. Therefore, we did not include a daily maximum limit for zinc. This is a special case with zinc; all other limit calculations result in the daily max being higher than the monthly average, and we place both in the permit, as for copper. However, to reduce confusion the more stringent daily maximum limit has been inserted also as the monthly average limit. Currently the eDMR system doesn't allow us to report for upstream (no page to report upstream and downstream). Will this be updated when the permit becomes effective? The Permittee is currently waived from submitting instream data because Mt Airy is a member of the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin Association, which is why you don't have that option currently. In other words, our database isn't currently set up to receive instream data for your permit. However, with the proposed instream Hardness sampling our database will be modified to accept upstream Hardness data as it will for any changes in your monitoring requirements (instream, influent or effluent) via eDMRs. Are super compliant facilities still allowed to request reduced monitoring for BOD, TSS, Ammonia, and Fecal Coliform? If so, what's the criteria to qualify? Yes, there is a reduced monitoring program for exceptionally performing facilities. There are both eligibility and data criteria for qualification. Division guidance on this program offers the following details: Individual NPDES facilities shall submit a written request to modify their NPDES permit specifying which parameters are to be considered for reduced monitoring. Permit holders must include with their requests sufficient data, statistical analyses, and other information to support the justification for reduced monitoring.... Approval of reduced monitoring frequency shall be granted if all the criteria below are met: • The facility has no more than one civil penalty assessment for permit limit violations for each target parameter during the previous three years. • Neither the permittee nor any of its employees have been convicted of criminal violations of the Clean Water Act within the previous five years. • The facility is not currently under an SOC for target parameter effluent limit noncompliance. • The facility is not on EPA's Quarterly Noncompliance Report for target parameter limit violations. • For BODS, CBODS, TSS, NH3-N and TSS, the three year arithmetic mean of effluent data must be less than fifty percent of the monthly average permit limit. For fecal coliform or enterococci, the three year geometric mean must be less than 50 percent of the monthly average permit limit. For • parameters with summer and winter limits, an annual arithmetic mean of the seasonal limits may be used in the calculation. • With the exception of fecal coliform or enterococci, no more than 15 daily sampling results over the 3-year review period can be over 200% of the monthly average limit for BODS, CBODS, TSS, or NH3-N. Values associated with documented impacts of extreme weather or events beyond the control of the permittee will not be included. • For fecal coliform or enterococci, no more than 20 daily sampling results may be over 200% of the weekly average limit. Values associated with documented impacts of extreme weather or events beyond the control of the permittee will not be included. • For the four target parameters, sampling results shall not show more than two non -monthly average limit violations during the previous year. • Reduced effluent monitoring must not impair assessment of sensitive downstream uses, such as endangered species.
