1. Monitoring requirement is required beginning on July 1, 2009 to allow time for electrical connection to flow
meter.
2. Limit and monitor only if the facility adds chlorine to water that is eventually discharged.
3. The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 ug/I to be in compliance with the
permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values reported by a North Carolina
certified laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall below 50 ug/I.
4. Parameters should be monitored in conjunction with toxicity test.
5. Fluoride monitoring applies if the facility backwashes with fluoridated, finished water.
6. Zinc should only be monitored if a Permittee uses zinc orthophosphate as a corrosion inhibitor.
7. See Attachment A (2.).
All samples collected should be from a representative discharge event.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace
amounts.

Permit NCO075701
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY MONITORING (QRTRLY)
The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent
versions.
The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 90%. The testing shall be
performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 7day pass/fail test. The tests will be performed during the months of
January, April, July and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES
Permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP313.
Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no
later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed
in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent
toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the
permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the
facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No
Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at
the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test requirement will revert to
quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include
alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT Forms
submitted.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls,
shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than
the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

C. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: The facility dechlorinates to reduce the residual
chlorine levels added to the finished water process.
2. Residuals handling and utilization/disposal scheme: The solids from the two decant tanks is
land applied on -site under the authority of Permit No. WQ0000759. The accumulated solids in
