(2) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 65%. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised- December 2010) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July, and October. These months signify the first month of each three month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple-concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-December 2010) or subsequent versions. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original)is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh,North Carolina 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, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. 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, monitoring will be required during the following month. Assessment of toxicity compliance is based on the toxicity testing quarter, which is the three month time interval that begins on the first day of the month in which toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues until the final day of the third month. 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. Page 5 of 8 Permit NC0020036 (Continued A. (2) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT(QRTRLY)) If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted on the DMR and all AT Form 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.

Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events.These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act(CWA),as amended,33 USC 1251,et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all"daily discharges"of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform,the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system,which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day.However, for purposes of this permit,any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March,April through June,July through September,and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period.The Director may designate the most appropriate method(specific number and size of aliquots necessary,the time interval between grab samples,etc.)on a case-by-case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single,continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume:a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection,or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer,and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system,or Version 11/09/2011 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions' Page 2 of 18 (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent.The following restrictions also apply: > Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters > Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time<24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours;there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass,the"daily discharge"is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement,the "daily discharge"is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day.(40 CFR 122.2;see also "Composite Sample,"above.) Daily Maximum The highest"daily discharge"during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s),that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DWQ or"the Division" The Division of Water Quality,Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Effluent Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source whether treated or untreated. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit.Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N=the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean,values of"0"(or"<[detection level)")shall be considered= 1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes.Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge(or the receiving stream,for instream samples). Version 11/09/2011 • NPDES Permit Standard Conditions • Page 3 of 18 Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in that instance. To the extent practical,instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge during that sampling period. Monthly Average(concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges"of a pollutant measured during the calendar month.In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators,the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average(concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property,damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable,or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1)of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements.An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error,improperly designed treatment facilities,inadequate treatment facilities,lack of preventive maintenance,or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average(concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges"of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators,the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1.

[15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(14)] Pass Through A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which,alone or with discharges from other sources,causes a violation,including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation,of the Permittee's(or any satellite POTW's,if different from the Permittee)NPDES,collection system,or non-discharge permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)] Publicly Owned Treatment Works(POTW) A treatment works as defmed by Section 212 of the CWA,which is owned by a State or local government organization. This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage,treatment,recycling and reclamation of municipal sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature.It also includes the collection system,as defmed in 15A NCAC 2T .0402,only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government organization,or municipality,as defmed in section 502(4)of the CWA,which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context,the organization may be the owner of the POTW treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges.This second type of POTW may be referred to as a"satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)] "Significant Industrial User"or"SIU" An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that[15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(33)]: 1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW(excluding sanitary, noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters);or 2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non-discharge permitted flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant.

Other Special Items: N/A PART IV-EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The permittee, Town of Stanley,has applied for permit renewal for the subject facility.An on-site investigation revealed the WWTP is in good operational condition. The WWTP experiences high flow during rain events from I & I. In order to reduce the high surge to the clarifier during rain events, the Town has converted the existing sludge holding basin to a surge basin. This was accomplished by installing a pipe from the current manual bar screen to the basin and installing an influent weir that will divert flows over 380,000 gallons per day to the basin. In addition, they added a pump that pumps the wastewater back to the head of the facility and through the bar screen when the flow drop down. According to Mr.Datt,this will allow the facility to handle the increase in flow experienced during heavy rains due to I&I problems. This will allow the town to properly use the existing 430,000 gallon digester and allow for a better use of the sludge holding tank. The above changes took place in 2009 without an Authorization to Construct. This office will pursue the Town to submit an after the construction A to C. Pending review and approval by the Western NPDES Program Unit, it is recommended that the permit be renewed. 7//1°';: .1/1 Signature of report pre r Water Quality Regional Supervisor 3�f/z.v1 Date 430 At; NCDENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Beverly Eaves Perdue Coleen H.

TOXICITY TESTING DATA POTWs meeting one or more of the following criteria must provide the results of whole effluent toxicity tests for acute or chronic toxicity for each of the facility's discharge points: 1)POTWs with a design flow rate greater than or equal to 1.0 mgd; 2)POTWs with a pretreatment program(or those that are required to have one under 40 CFR Part 403);or 3)POTWs required by the permitting authority to submit data for these parameters. • At a minimum,these results must include quarterly testing for a 12-month period within the past 1 year using multiple species(minimum of two species),or the results from four tests performed at least annually in the four and one-half years prior to the application,provided the results show no appreciable toxicity,and testing for acute and/or chronic toxicity,depending on the range of receiving water dilution. Do not include information on combined sewer overflows in this section. All information reported must be based on data collected through analysis conducted using 40 CFR Part 136 methods. In addition,this data must comply with QA/QC requirements of 40 CFR Part 136 and other appropriate QA/QC requirements for standard methods for analytes not addressed by 40 CFR Part 136. • In addition,submit the results of any other whole effluent toxicity tests from the past four and one-half years. If a whole effluent toxicity test conducted during the past four and one-half years revealed toxicity,provide any information on the cause of the toxicity or any results of a toxicity reduction evaluation,if one was conducted. • If you have already submitted any of the information requested in Part E,you need not submit it again. Rather,provide the information requested in question E.4 for previously submitted information. If EPA methods were not used,report the reasons for using alternate methods. If test summaries are available that contain all of the information requested below,they may be submitted in place of Part E. If no biomonitoring data is required,do not-complete Part E.

The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular importance is Page 4. Page 4 sets forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your discharge. Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed "Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your discharge(or operation),you must initiate the required monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on reporting forms furnished or approved by this Agency. For new permits/facilities,the Division may supply an initial small stock of these forms;however, if you fail to receive the forms,please contact this Office as quickly as possible. The forms,including directions for their completion, and other important information are also available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.html. It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required. Please be advised that an annual fee may be required for your facility; if so,you will receive a statement from our Raleigh Office. It is imperative that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent enforcement action or possible revocation of your permit.

The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency. To maintain compliance with discharge limitations,proper operation and maintenance of a wastewater treatment facility and the development of a process control program are essential. For those facilities having chlorine tablet disinfection,please be advised that chlorine tablets approved for wastewater treatment use must be used; swimming pool tablets are not approved. Also, be advised that DWQ staff need to have access to the facility's discharge point into the receiving stream;please maintain a path along the outfall line to facilitate that access. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation(and/or criminal penalties)may be assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that you are unable to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit,you should contact this Office immediately. A Special Order by Consent(SOC)may be necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance. As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not automatically transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit,then you should request that the Division of Water Quality rescind the Permit or request that DWQ reissue the Permit to another party, if necessary. As mentioned previously,the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit.

The monthly average effluent BOD5 and Total Suspended Residue concentrations shall not exceed 15%of the respective influent value(i.e. 85%Removal). 3. Summer is defined as April 1 through October 31. Winter is defined as November 1 through March 31. 4. Limit takes effect 18 months from the effective date of the permit(June 1,2007). Until the limit takes effect,the permittee shall monitor TRC(with no effluent limit). 5. The daily average dissolved oxygen concentration shall not be less than 6.0 mg/I. 6. Chronic Toxicity(Ceriodaphnia)at 65.4%:January,April,July and October(see Part I.A.(2.)). 7. The pH of the effluent shall not be less than 6.0 nor greater than 9.0(on the standard units scale). There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. Permit NC0020036 A. (2.) QUARTERLY CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (0.5 MGD) -FINAL The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 65.4%. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterlu monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-February 1998) or subsequent versions. 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. If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple-concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-February 1998) or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised- February 1998) or subsequent versions. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention:NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Branch 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. 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 Branch at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during the following month. 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. 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. Permit NC0020036 A. (3.) GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS - FINAL a. Monitoring Requirements i. The existing monitor wells MW-1 and MW-2 shall be sampled twice per year in April and November for the following parameters: Water Level pH Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Nitrate Prior to sampling the other parameters, the measurement of water levels, then pH, must be taken. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum. ii. Any laboratory selected to analyze parameters must be Division of Water Quality (DWQ) certified for those parameters required. iii. Upon written notification by the Division, the Permittee shall conduct additional groundwater quality monitoring the Division deems necessary. b. Reporting Requirements i. The Permittee shall report its monitoring results on current and appropriate forms: (1) GW-59 Groundwater Quality Monitoring: Compliance Report Form (2) GW-59A Compliance Report Form Updated blank forms (GW-1, GW-30, GW-59, GW-59A) may be downloaded from the Division of Water Quality website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ or requested from the address below. ii. The Permittee shall submit three (3) copies of its reports to the following two address: Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Information Processing Unit Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 and NCDER-DWQ Information Processing Unit 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27669-1617 iii. The results of the sampling and analysis must be received on Form GW-59 and GW- 59A on or before the last working day of the month following the sampling month. The data of all groundwater sampling analyses required by the permit conditions must be reported using the most recent GW-59 and GW-59A forms along with attached copies of the laboratory analyses. c. Applicable Boundaries i. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary for the disposal system individually permitted prior to December 30, 1983 is established at either 500 feet from the waste disposal area, or at the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to remediation action according to 15A NCAC 2L .0106(d)(2). ii. The REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. Any exceedance of standards at the Review Boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106(d)(1). NPDES Permit Requirements Page lof16 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS Section A. Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act,as amended,33 USC 1251,et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily'discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system,which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case-by-case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single,continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24.hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection,or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system,or (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. Version 6/20/2003 NPDES Permit Requirements Page 2 of 16 In accordance with (4) above,influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge"is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3) Daily Maximum The highest"daily discharge"during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DWQ or"the Division" The Division of Water Quality,Department of Environment and Natural Resources. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. Facility Closure The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility,or the cessation of all activities that require coverage under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean,values of"0" (or"< [detection level]") shall be considered=1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. Instantaneous flow measurement A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling,when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. Version 6J20/2003 NPDES Permit Requirements Page 3 of 16 Monthly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration limit) The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance,or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such-discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1. Duty to Comply The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is grounds for enforcement action;for permit termination,revocation and reissuance, or modification;or denial of a permit renewal application [40 CFR 122.41]. a. The Permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under section 307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants and with standards for sewage sludge use or disposal established under section 405(d) of the Clean Water Act within the time provided in the regulations that establish these standards or prohibitions or standards for sewage sludge use or disposal, even if the permit has not yet been modified to incorporate the requirement. • b. The Clean Water Act provides that any person who violates section 301,302,306,307,308,318 or 405 of the Act, or any permit condition or limitation implementing any such sections in a permit issued under section 402, or any requirement imposed in a pretreatment program approved under sections 402(a)(3) or 402(b)(8) of the Act,is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $25,000 per day for each violation. [40 CFR 122.41 (a) (2)] c.

It is recommended that the permit be renewed as requested. At the time of the site visit there was particulate matter in the chlorine contact basin and traveling over the outfall weir. The ORC suggested that this was caused by`flooding"of the plant due to collection system infiltration. Please note that the facility has groundwater monitoring requirements associated with its sludge holding lagoon. Groundwater staff in this office recommends reduction in the frequency of this monitoring. There are occasional spikes in nitrogen associated with the monitoring results of these wells. MRO could find no reference to these monitoring requirements in the files associated with the Town of Stanley WWTP. Their new permit should indicate the necessary groundwater monitoring requirements for these wells. Also note that the Town of Stanley is planning on installing an interceptor line with the City of Mount Holly on the lower portion of their collection system. This will allow the two communities to divert flow between WWTPs as growth occurs in this centralized area. (L1iL Signature f Report Preparer ate ni'�ffanx M , �'U+` / - ,��c , , Z. f b - 0 1\6 D.

Stevens, Director February 21,2001 Mr. Gary Parker,Town Manager 114 S. Main Street Stanley,North Carolina 28164 Subject: NPDES Draft Permit Permit No. NC0020036 Town of Stanley WWTP Gaston County Dear Mr. Parker: The Town of Stanley applied for a renewed NPDES permit on February 10,2000. The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your facility and prepared a draft permit for your review. Enclosed is the draft permit for the Town of Stanley WWTP. Please review the draft permit carefully. Check to insure that the facility information is correct, including address and location. Please provide comments you have regarding this draft permit to DENR- DWQ NPDES Unit no later than March 30. 2001. The following items highlight changes that have been incorporated into the draft permit. • The ammonia limit at the 1.0-MGD flow rate has been modified to protect for ammonia toxicity. • This facility's discharge is located in the South Fork Catawba River drainage basin. To control nutrients the Division has developed a nutrient control strategy within the Lake Wylie Nutrient Management Area. This area currently is defined as Lake Wylie and its tributaries including: the Catawba River and its tributaries below Mountain Island Dam; and the South Fork Catawba River (including tributaries) below its confluence with Little Long Creek. This discharge is currently located outside of the Nutrient Management Area, however the Division is currently evaluating the extent of the defined area and may extend the area during the next permitting cycle. Although no total nitrogen or total phosphorus limits appear in the permit at this time,you may be subject to nitrogen and phosphorus limits in the next permitting cycle. 1617 MAIL SERVICE CENTER, RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27699-1617-TELEPHONE 919-733-5083/FAX 919-733-0719 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER- 50%RECYCLED/ 1 0%POST-CONSUMER PAPER VISIT US ON THE INTERNET @ http://h2o.enr.State.nc.US/NPDES . Permit Number: NC0020036 The Division recommends that you evaluate the cost of installation for nutrient removal facilities in the event that nutrient limits are imposed on your plant. It is also recommended that alternative discharge options be evaluated such as spray irrigation,subsurface systems, wastewater reuse,or connection to a larger regional system(e.g. Mount Holly and/or Gastonia). Mauney Creek is listed as an impaired stream on North Carolina's 303(d) list. This means that the stream does not meet water quality standards.The Division will continue to monitor compliance at your facility. Ultimately,the removal of this discharge may be necessary. It is the plan of the Division to work for the improvement and recovery of the stream. In the event of the continuance of problems,the future may require the removal of direct point source discharg Sdegradationy g --- ith permitted-efflues tont t hrrutauney�a�d-reek r of Mauna Creek can b attributed the health of the stream. If there is �t� th awn-of-- Stanley discharge,,then re imoval of the discharge may be necessary. The Town of Stanley may determine in the future th t an alternative to surface water discharge may be more apprppriate. Concurrent withi this trajnsmittal,`tl e Division is also publishing a noticezn the newspapers having general circulation;in the Gaston County,soliciting public comment on the draft permit.

Part II Page 1 of 14 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS SECTION A. DEFINITIONS 1. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Environmental Management. 2. DEM or Division Means the Division of Environmental Management,Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources. 3. INC Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. 4. Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. 5. Mass/Dv Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge"is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge"is the total mass (weight)of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average"in Part I of the permit. Part II Page 2 of 14 6. Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value)of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. b. The "average weekly concentration,"other than for fecal coliform bacteria,is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value)of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under"Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under"Other Limits"in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual concentration,"other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value)of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen)is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average"in the text of Part I. f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation"in the text of Part I of the permit. g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Part II Page 3 of 14 7. Other Measurements a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. 8. Types of Samples a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of: (1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection,or (2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow. In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However,in no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four(4)during a 24 hour sampling period. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the receiving waters. 9. Calculation of Means a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1). • Part II Page 4 of 14 c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 11.Hazardous Substance A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 12. Toxic Pollutant A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1)of the Clean Water Act. SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS 1.

Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances)which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. 3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit. 4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities a. Definitions (1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. (2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. b. Bypass not exceeding limitations. The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section. c. Notice (1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass. (2)Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice). d. Prohibition of Bypass (1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass,unless: (A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; (B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal Part II Page 9 of 14 periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and (C)The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section. (2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section. 5. Upsets a. Definition. "Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. b. Effect of an upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c.of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs,or other relevant evidence that: (1)An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s)of the upset; (2)The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and (3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit. (4)The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B.2.of this permit. d. Burden of proof. In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. 6. Removed Substances Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal • Part II Page 10 of 14 regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CF'R Part 503. The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CPR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices. 7.

STANLEY, NC 28164 Subject: Renewal of NPDES Permit NC0020036 Lola Street WWTP GASTON County Dear Permittee: The subject permit expires on July 31, 2000. North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2H.0105(e) requires that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. To satisfy this requirement,your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than February 2, 2000. Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date will result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. If any wastewater discharge will occur after July 31, 2000(or if continuation of the permit is desired), the current permit must be renewed. Operation of wastewater treatment works or continuation of discharge after July 31, 2000 would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day. If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Robert Farmer of the Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at (919) 733-5083, extension 531. You may also contact the Mooresville Regional Office at(704) 663-1699 to begin the rescission process. Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must submit with the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact me. My telephone number, fax number and e-mail address are listed at the bottom of this page.

CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT(QRTRLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in: 1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure -Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is 74% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform(Juarter*v monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit 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 TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original)is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Environmental Management 4401 Reedy Creek Road Raleigh, N.C. 27607 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 any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits,then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing,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 Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. Part III Permit No. NC0020036 H.

This was not included in our copy. 2. The application must be accompanied by a report prepared by an independent con- sultant(a professional with expertise in wastewater treatment) or by the Municipal Compliance Initiative Program of the Construction Grants and Loans Section of the Division of Water Quality. This report must address the following: a. An evaluation of all existing treatment units, operational procedures and recommendations as to how the efficiencies of these facilities can be maximized. b. A certification that these facilities could not be operated in a manner that would achieve compliance with final permit limitations. c. The effluent limitations that the facility could be expected to meet if operated at their maximum efficiency during the term of the requested SOC (be sure to consider interim construction phases listed in section VI/4, of this application. While the application does address these issues and alludes to the interaction of a consulting engineer, there is no actual engineer's certification of these findings or supporting documentation. 3. The application should include a copy of a resolution from the Town Council authorizing the Mayor to sign the SOC. This resolution must clearly state the Council is aware of the financial commitment necessary to bring the facility into compliance. An example resolution is attached for your use. P.O.

Application for a SOC Page 4, Section V. 1. Revised 10-31-97 Following preliminary treatment flows enter a.50 MG aeration basin. Mixed liquor mixing oxygen required for aerobic conditions is supplied by two 20 horse power aerators. This system is adequate and performs to design spec- ifications under average conditions. However, Industrial slugs create major process upsets and have required up to 90 days to recover. Current aeration is capable of producing about 1,750 lbs. of oxygen per day. The current average loadings require 2,170 lbs. of oxygen per day with average BOD loadings of 250 rngli and an assumed TKN of 45 mgA. The facility upgrade includes new mechanical aerators as well as reduces the loadings approximately 330/0. There are two rectangular final clarifiers that currently have apparent short circuiting. The clarifiers are monitored daily to maintain 1-2 foot sludge blankets. Even with this practice solids are lost during high flows created by the above UI conditions and after Industrial Slugs. The Town of Stanley Is working with the State of North Carolina and it's Consulting Engineer to determine if flow distribution needs improvement and if the clarifiers are capable of meeting removal requirements on a consistent basis. Sludge is wasted to one 21,226 cubic foot aerobic digester. Oxygen intro- duction and mixing is accomplished with a 20 horse power aerator. This system supports approximately 3,100 residents that require 31,000 cubk feet capacity. This does not include sludge production generated by the Town's Industrial users. Due to the small size of the digester the facility uses its adjacent 1,000,000 gallon sludge storage basin to protect the process and effluent quality. Inadequate digestion sometimes causes major process upsets with treatment facilities as well as substantially increases hauling and Upping cost for sludge removal. The old digester is scheduled to be replaced during the on-going facility upgrade. Sludge is !and applied in a liquid state. The the.i dP4imieti. tto provide 30 minute contact with flows of 1.5 MGD. This system works well because when the facility was down-sized the contact tank remained the same. Corrections to the contact tank include new chlorine ejectors, flow proportional chlorine feed, flow proportional dechlor, scum removal, and flow proportional sampling. • Town of & in1ey Established November 14,1855 MAYOR TOWN MANAGER Gail R.Brotherton "A Friendly Place" Gary E.Parker COUNCIL POLICE CHIEF Claude G.

COMPLIANCE HISTORY FOR FACILITY REQUESTING THE SOC: Please attach a listing of all SOC(s) and amendments, Judicial Order(s) and amendments, EPA 309 letter(s), EPA Administrative Order(s), civil penalty assessments(s), notices of violations(s), etc. issued for this facility during the past 5 years. This listing must contain the issue dates, reasons for issuance, when the facility returned to compliance and actions taken to return the facility to compliance. See Attachment B IV. EXPLANATION AS TO WHY SOC IS NEEDED: Please attach a very specific detailed explanation as to why the SOC is being requested. Please address the following issues: 1 Fyiietina or nnavnidahie_fithni viniatinn(c) of Peimit T imit tion(s) The Stanley Wastewater Treatment Facility has experienced violations partially due to I/I (inflow/infiltration). The III situation is addressed by the Town's Consultant Engineer, W.K. Dickson. Current average flows of.45 MGD are recorded allowing .05 MGD excess capacity or approximately 10% of design capacity. A total of.15 MGD will be diverted from the East Side Industrial area to the Mt. Holly facility. ThbrA►111 divert approximately eltiVo of existing hydraulic loadings. This projects projected to be completed June 1998i The second phase of the UT abatement program is the repair of leaks in the Town's main lines and private service lines which is scheduled to be completed by October 1997. The Stanley Water Plant sends the filter backwash wastewater to the Stanley Wastewater Treatment Facility. This direct discharge occurs every day adding approximately.0512 MGD to the current hydraulic situation. During the number 3 filter backwash, two pumps must be used. Conditions exist that support the theory that the effluent line is not adequately sized to handle the flow generated when both pumps are utilized. Regulation also requires the water treatment plant to be placed under the Town of Stanley Pretreatment Program. The Town of Stanley is working with the State Pretreatment Group to properly place the water plant under the rules and regulations of it's Pretreatment Program as well as working with the Consulting Engineer on line and flow problems. The SOC would help the Town of Stanley get through this construction period in regard% to the UT abatement program. The Stanley Wastewater Treatment Facility has also experienced non-compliance due to Industrial Slugs with BOD and COD loadings of up to 5,000 mg/1. The Town has now placed a strong effort in properly maintaining their Pretreatment Program. Permits have been developed, records and documentation improved to State speculations, and enforce- ment strengthened. This has helped the facility better its compliance effort to zero violations in the last 5 months due to Industrial slugs. However, with current loading constraints and on-going construction, an event during construction will cause an unavoidable violation. A strong pretreatment program will be maintained during and after construction. 2. Existing or unavoidable future violation(s) of permit conditions. Proposed upgrades should ewe any existing violations of permit conditions. AAET will operate and maintain the plant to the best of our ability in an effort to avoid any violations of permit conditions. AAET will also work closely with contractors and engineers to plan and schedule all work being done in a manner that will not Jeopardize plant compliance. 3. Magnitude, duration and dates)of all existing Violations. See Attachment B- for most recent NOV's. 4. Explanation for any existing or unavoidable future violation(s)along with any mitigating factor(s) See explanation 1 above. 5. Expected duration of any existing or,unavoidable future violation(s). Expected future or unavoidable violations are to end July 1998. V. EXPLANATION OF ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE APPLICANT TO MAXIMIZE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE FACILITY PRIOR TO REQUESTING THE SOC: Please attach a very specific detailed explanation of the actions taken. Please address the following issues: I. Describe the existing treatment process and any modifications that have been made in an effort to correct and avoid violations of effluent limitations. Plows enter the facility through two sewage lines. An 8" line serves Talon Industries and a 10" line that serves the rest of the Town of Stanley. There is an automatic bar screen that is out of operation and is scheduled to be replaced with the current year's upgrades. In the meantime, operators are required to use a manual coarse bar screen. Following preliminary treatment flows enter a .50 MG aeration basin. Mixed liquor mixing oxygen required for aerobic conditions is supplied by two 20 horse power aerators. This system is adequate and performs to design spec- ifications under average conditions. However, Industrial slugs create major process upsets and have required up to 90 days to recover. Current a cation is capable of producing about 1,750 lbs. of oxygen per day. The current average loadings require 2,170 lbs. of oxygen per day with average BOD loadings of 250 mgil and an assumed TKINT of 45 mg/I. The facility upgrade includes new mechanical aerators as well as reduces the loadings approximately 33%. There are two rectangular final clarifiers that currently have apparent short circuiting. The clarifiers are monitored daily to maintain 1-2 foot sludge blankets. Even with this practice solids are lost during high flows created by the above I/I conditions and after Industrial Slugs. The Town of Stanley is working with the State of North Carolina and it's Consulting Engineer to determine if flow distribution needs improvement and if the clarifiers are capable of meeting removal requirements on a consistent basis. Sludge is wasted to one 21,226 cubic foot aerobic digester. Oxygen intro- duction and mixing is accomplished with a 20 horse power aerator. This system supports approximately 3,100 residents that require 31,000 cubic feet capacity. This does not include sludge production generated by the Town's Industrial users. Due to the small size of the digester the facility uses its adjacent 1,000,000 gallon sludge storage basin to protect the process and effluent quality. Inadequate digestion sometimes causes major process upsets with treatment facilities as well as substantially increases hauling and tipping cost for sludge removal. The old digester is scheduled to be replaced during the on-going facility upgrade. Sludge is !arid ann--ed inalin .l ctatP The ehlnrine is rationed to provide 30 minute rnntart with flows of 1 man This system worms well because when the facility was down-sized the contact tank remained the same. Corrections to the contact tank include new chlorine ejectors, flow proportional chlorine feed,flow proportional dechlorrjscum removal, and flow proportional samplit{g. 2. Changes made to facility operations such as use of polymers, more frequent wasting of solids, additional aeration, additional operators, etc. During the last 2 months, The Town of Stanley's Pretreatment Program has been active in helping the facility maintain effluent compliance. The Town's Wastewater Operator has increased starng from 1.5 employees to 2.0 employees. This has also helped in maintaining compliance. Backwashing procedures at the Stanley Water Plant required timers to be installed in the aeration basins to prevent wash outs of solids. Wasting.prrlres have been changed from batch wasting to regular routine daily wasting. TRC analysis are now accompanied with chlorine residue analysis to ensure fecal coliform kill. 3. Collection system rehabilitation work completed or scheduled (including dates). The Town had I&I study done by W.I . Dickson in 1994. Town placed manhole inserts in problem manholes in 1994 and some private property repairs of laterals or clean-outs were made. Additional service line repairs were made in 1997. 4. Coordination with pretreatment facilities for municipalities or production facilities for industries. Identify any noncompliant significant industrial users and measure(s)taken or proposed to be taken to bring the pretreatment facilities back into compliance. The Town of Stanley is currently actively managing it's Pretreatment Program. Walkisoft USA Industries was significantly non-compliant for the past two six month periods. A new permit for the facility will be issued by October 1, 1997s The new limits contained in this permit should bring this situation into compliance. Talon Industries will also receive a categorical permit breideber 1, 1997. ``-; ' ' 5. If the SOC is being requested for failure to meet permit effluent limitations, the applicant must submit a report prepared by an independent consultant ( a professional with expertise in wastewater treatment) or by the Municipal Compliance Initiative program of the Construction Grants and Loans Section of the Division of Environmental Management. This report must address the following: • a. An evaluation of all existing treatment units, operational procedures and recommendations as to how the efficiencies of these facilities can be maximized. See section V. item 1. above. b. A certification that these facilities could not be operated in a manner that would achieve compliance with Said permit limitations. Due to the limited design capabilities of the treatment facility that is currently in use and the condition of the collection system consistent effluent compliance can't be expected. The upgrade will remove approximately 33%of current loadings, install reliable chemical feed to protect the receiving stream, and provide required back up power. c. The effluent limitations that the facility could be expected to meet if operated at their maximum efficiency during the term of the requested SOC(be sane to consider interim construction phases listed in section VL 4, of this application).

The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular importance are Pages 4-7. Pages 4-7 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your discharge(s) . Your discharge(s) must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed "Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or operation) , you must initiate the required monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the reporting forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting form (DEM Form MR-1) , plus instructions for completing the form. It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required. The remaining Parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and special conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s) . The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater treatment 919 North Main Street,Mooresville,North Carolina 28115 Telephone 704-663-1699 FAX 704-663-6040 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50%recycled/ 10%post-consumer paper The Honorable Gail R.

Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A civil penalty of up to $10,000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties) may be assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that you are unable to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit, you should contact this Office immediately. A Consent Order may be necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance. As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that the Permit be rescinded. As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing any assistance. Sincerely, D.

Main Street Mooresville, NC 28115 Dear Mr. Gleason: In response to your September 6, 1995 Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement Notice of Violation Compliance Sampling Inspection letter, I would like to make the following comments. A high percentage of the violations were for exceeding the monthly average of flow to the plant. This was due mainly to the electronic calibration of our flow measuring device. This device is a sub-sonic flow measuring instrument which is very difficult to maintain in proper calibration limits due to the age and design of the instrument. This device was calibrated in April of 1995 and no flow violations have occurred since. In light of the importance of this equipment, the calibration schedule has been increased from yearly to twice annually. The majority of the violations came in the month of February. This was due to the fact that on 2/13/95, a creamy, white substance came into the plant. This discharge was not consistent with our normal industrial discharges. The discharge did not upset settlebility or cause any unusual amounts of foam. After consulting our regional director, John Lesley, and State Pre-Treatment Director, Joe Pearce, I was advised to set up a composite sample to retrieve data on the foreign substance (even though all compliance monitoring requirements had been met for the month) . These results came back with very high TSS and BCD which caused both weekly and monthly averages to be exceeded. The origin of this discharge is still unknown but expected to have been an illegal discharge into an isolated manhole. I would like to ask that consideration be taken of the fact that the Town is working diligently in resolving the problems that allowed these violations. The Town has just started to implement a new pre-treatment program which will allow us to control our industrial discharges into the plant and is currently awaiting approval of plans to upgrade our existing plant, which will replace a lot of the older outdated equipment and double the capacity of treatment. Any leniency that could be allowed would be appreciated. P.O. BOX 279. 114 S. MAIN ST. •STANLEY, N.

If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple-concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum,in each of the two following months as described in"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-February 1998) or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival.The definition of"detectable impairment,"collection methods,exposure regimes,and further statistical methods are specified in the"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-February 1998) or subsequent versions. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed,using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value.Additionally,DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: NC DENR/ DWQ /Environmental Sciences Branch 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete,accurate,include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data,and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. 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 Branch at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,monitoring will be required during the following month. - 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. 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.

PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS • SECTION A. DEFINITIONS 1. Permit Issuing Authority: The Director of the Division of Water Quality. 2. DEM or"the Division" Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. 3. EMC Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. 4. Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act,as amended, 33 USC 1251,et. seq. 5. Mass/Day Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore,an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. 6. Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. Part II Page 2 of 11 6.b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (aci8hted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average"under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under"Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average"in the text of Part I. f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit. g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods:January through March, April through June,July through September,and October through December. 7. Other Measurements a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. 8. Types of Samples a. Composite Sample:A composite sample shall consist of: (1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection,or Part II Page 3 of 11 8. a. (2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system,or (3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour,and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four(4) during a 24-hour sampling period. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the receiving waters. 9. Calculation of Means a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean,values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1). c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. 10. Calendar Day: A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However,for purposes of this permit,any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 11. Hazardous Substance: A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 12. Toxic Pollutant: A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITIONS 1.

[The exclusive authority to operate this facility arises under this permit. The authority to operate the facility under previously issued permits bearing this number is no longer effective. ] The conditions, requirements, terms, and provisions of this permit authorizing discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System govern discharges from this facility. SECTION C. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS 1. Certified Operator Pursuant to Chapter 90A-44 of North Carolina General Statutes, and upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. The permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and any grade to comply with the conditions of Title 15A NCAC Chapter 8G .0200. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility at least daily, excluding weekends and holidays, and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A,NCAC Chapter 8G .0200. Once the facility is classified, the permittee shall submit a letter to the Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible charge within thirty days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50%complete. 2. Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. 3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit. 4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities a. Definitions (1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system,which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. (2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable,or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. Part lI Page 7 of 11 4. b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.

If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass. (2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice). d. Prohibition of Bypass (1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass,unless: (A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life,personal injury or severe property damage; (B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance;and (C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section. (2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section. 5. Upsets a. Definition: "Upset" means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error,improperly designed treatment facilities,inadequate treatment facilities,lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. b. Effect of an upset: An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset,and before an action for noncompliance,is final administrative action subject to judicial review. c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset: A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed,contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: (1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; (2)The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated;and (3)The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II,E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit. (4)The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II,B. 2. of this permit. d.

The Town of Stanley's NPDES permit has expired and they have requested renewal of their permit. The Division of Water Quality's NPDES Unit issues the permits for individually permitted facilities,and determines the conditions that must be achieved prior to discharge in order to protect the designated uses of the receiving water. This fact sheet summarizes the rationale used to determine permit limits and conditions. The Stanley wastewater treatment plant is currently permitted to discharge 0.5 MGD of treated municipal wastewater to Mauney Creek in the Catawba River Basin,with a possible expansion to 1.0 MGD.The facility received an Authorization to Construct for expansion on December 1995. The expansion has not occurred. A subsequent ATC issued December 1996 permitted an upgrade of the existing 0.5-MGD treatment facility. A special study was initiated in 1997 on Mauney Creek,to investigate the impact of leaky petroleum storage tanks located 0.2 miles downstream of Stanley's discharge. Leaky storage tanks have contaminated the groundwater feeding Mauney Creek. A bioassessment evaluated the impact from the contaminated groundwater on Mauney Creek. Samples were taken from above and below the site. A reconnaissance was conducted upstream of the Stanley's discharge. Results from the study indicated that the contaminated groundwater reaching Fact Sheet NPDFS Renewal Page I Mauney Creek was not exasperating the degradation of the receiving stream. Both the upstream and downstream sampling sites were rated as'fair' with insignificant differences in the final ratings. The reconnaissance upstream of Stanley's discharge showed a more normal fauna. The study did note that the discharge from Stanley's wastewater treatment plant appeared to have a negative impact on the receiving stream. Most notably the study observed a strong chlorine odor emanating from the discharge. The facility subsequently installed dechlorination and the residual chlorine levels have decreased substantially. The facility has recently gone through significant changes to its customer base. Two industries have either gone out of business or are discharging to an alternative POTW(Mount Holly). In August 2000, the Town issued another pretreatment permit to Outdoor lifestyles. Therefore, the Town continues to implement a modified pretreatment program. Current Stream Conditions Mauney Creek has been rated as'partially supporting' its designated uses according to the 2000 303(d) list. The Town of Stanley is mentioned in the Catawba River basin plan as having a negative impact on the receiving stream. However,the cause of the impairment has not been identified. The plan recommends that the Division continue to work with the town in order to bring them into compliance with the permit limits. Over the past year compliance at this facility has improved. Stanley still experiences periodic toxicity problems and has been working to address the problem. It is recommended that Stanley continue to work with the Divisions' Aquatic Toxicology Unit in order to bring the facility into compliance. Existing Permit Conditions The discharge from the facility is currently limited for flow (0.5 and 1.0 MGD),BOD,ammonia, oil and grease, dissolved oxygen,pH,TSR,TRC (@1.0 MGD),fecal coliform,and chronic toxicity. Additionally,the effluent must be monitored for TRC (@0.5 MGD),TN,TP,cadmium, chromium,copper,nickel,lead,zinc and temperature. Since the facility is a municipal facility there is also an 85 % removal requirement for BOD and TSR. Proposed Permit Conditions Flow The permitted flow limits shall remain at 0.5 and 1.0 MGD. BOD The limit for BOD shall remain as stipulated in the previous permit. The Division has conducted several models on this discharge. The latest model was developed in 1994 for flows of 0.5 MGD and 1.0 MGD. The inputs and results of this model differed from previous models run at this site. The latest model predicted that in-stream dissolved oxygen levels drop to 3.54 mg/L at a flow rate of 0.5 MGD,and do not drop below the 5.0 mg/L standard at 1.0 MGD. This contradicts earlier models that indicated the DO levels do not drop below 5.0 mg/L at 0.5 MGD or 1.0 MGD. The different model results are attributed to modified inputs. The 1994 model used a 7Q10 that had been recalculated using the latest USGS methodology adopted by the Division. This resulted in s7Q10 of 0.41 cfs versus the previous 0.27 cfs.The 1994 model also used a background DO of 6.3 mg/L (based on the 75th percentile of in-stream data) Fact Sheet NPDES Renewal Page 2 versus the default background value of 5.0 mg/L (from previous models). Additionally, the CBOD/BOD multiplier increased to 4.3 based on long term monitoring data. Though model results indicated DO levels potentially dropping below the stream standard,Division policy states that BOD limits remain unchanged unless in-stream data indicates a problem. The receiving stream impairment has not been identified. According to the in-stream dissolved oxygen values there have been no reported violations over the past three years. The data does not indicate a problem with dissolved oxygen,therefore limits shall remain unchanged for oxygen consuming parameters. Ammonia Ammonia is unique because it is both an oxygen-consuming parameter and toxicant. As detailed above it is the Divisions policy that unless in-stream data indicates dissolved oxygen depletion in the receiving stream that ammonia levels will not be changed because of oxygen consumption. Additionally,the Division examines potential ammonia toxicity. The model indicates that there is a potential for the discharge to exert ammonia toxicity on the receiving stream. The model predicted an allowable concentration of 1.4 mg/L NH3-N. However,for discharges less than 1.0 MGD the accepted Best Available Technology limit is 2 mg/L. It is current Division procedure to limit existing facilities according to the BAT. The current ammonia limit is 2 mg/L (summer) and 4.0 mg/L(winter)based on toxicity and BAT. These limits shall remain since they are considered BAT for this discharge. Upon expansion it is recommended that the ammonia limit be established according to the model results at 1.0 MGD. Oil and Grease The previous permit contained a limit for oil&grease,however,there is no documented explanation for oil&grease limits identified in the permit file. The self-monitoring data was analyzed and compare to the best professional judgement limits. A statistical analysis of the effluent data for oil&grease indicates that there is potential for the facility to exceed the daily maximum limits for oil&grease. The results predicted a maximum predicted effluent concentration of 81 mg/L. The predicted effluent concentration is based on an analysis of 1999 and 2000 self-monitoring data with one outlier from February 1999 thrown out. Since the maximum predicted effluent concentration is greater than the weekly average limit,it is recommended that oil and grease remain limited. Dissolved oxygen The previous permit contained a 6.0 mg/L dissolved oxygen limit. The limit was established according to the model inputs. Typically,the DO limit is modified to reflect the DO standard of the receiving stream. However,the limit shall remain at 6.0mg/L based on concerns that reducing the DO limit may result in DO violation in the receiving stream. Total Suspended Residue The previous limit is based on the effluent guidelines for domestic wastewater dischargers. Therefore the condition shall remain. Fecal Coliform The previous permit limited fecal coliform to ensure protection of the water quality standard. Upstream and downstream self-monitoring data indicates elevated levels of Fact Sheet NPDES Renewal Page 3 fecal coliform. The Planning branch will be notified and supplied with the available data so that the data can be used in use support determinations. Since the dilution of the receiving stream is less than 331:1 the limit will remain. The numerical values for the limit are BPJ limits reflective of the water quality standard. Total Residual Chlorine The facility is required to monitor TRC at the 0.5 MGD permitted flow rate with a limit upon expansion. In North Carolina,TRC is an"action level" parameter and the Division has developed an Total Residual Chlorine policy design to protect this action level. For existing dischargers that use chlorine disinfection a limit is not imposed because a standard has not been developed. The Division works with these facilities to optimize their chlorine use and promote good operation of the plant. Any new or expanded discharges that use chlorine disinfection receives a limit developed using a mass balance model. The current permit condition is consistent with this policy and shall remain unchanged. Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus The location of the discharge is not currently in the Lake Wylie Nutrient Management Area,therefore TN and TP limits are not proposed at this time. During the next basin cycle the Division will assess the need to extend the defined management area and controls in the upper part of the South Fork Catawba River Basin. This permit shall continue to require the facility to monitor for TN and TP. Additionally,the facility will be notified that TN and TP limits may be implemented during the next permit cycle and they should begin to evaluate their alternatives. Temperature The previous permit required the facility to monitor temperature. This requirement will remain unchanged. Chronic toxicity The discharge contained a P/F limit in the previous permit. This condition will remain as a condition for this permit with updated language. Two industries that discharged to the Town of Stanley have either shut down or are discharging to another POTW. The Town has recently issued another pretreatment permit to Outdoor Lifestyles. According to the ORC,Outdoor lifestyles have not begun discharging to the treatment plant. In order to protect the stream for biocriteria major and complex wastestreams must meet whole effluent toxicity limits.Stanley wastewater is considered a complex wastestream since the facility has a pretreatment permit issued (Outdoor Lifestyles) and a modified pretreatment program. Therefore,the chronic toxicity limit is appropriate. Individual toxicants Reasonable potential analyses indicate that there is not a reasonable potential that Stanley's discharge will cause a violation of the cadmium or nickel standards. Therefore,cadmium and nickel monitoring will be removed from the permit. Based on the reasonable potential (RP) analysis chromium,copper,lead and zinc monitoring will remain. The RP analysis results for chromium indicated that the maximum predicted value was slightly below the allowable concentration. The maximum predicted was within 3.4% of the allowable concentration. Based on the Fact Sheet NPDES Renewal Page 4 analysis and the fact that the facility has detected chromium periodically in their effluent the facility shall be required to monitor for chromium. The RP analysis for copper and zinc both indicated that there is reasonable potential for the facilities discharge to exceed the action level for these parameters. Therefore,the facility shall be required to continue monitoring for nickel and zinc. If it is determined that the periodic toxicity failures are due to copper and/or zinc,the Division reserves the right to reopen the permit and limit these parameters. This issue will be addressed in the cover letter. The reasonable potential analysis for lead resulted in a maximum predicted value greater than the allowable concentration. The facility has detected lead in the effluent twice over the past 2.5 years,in April and May 1999. The other analyses results over this time period were less than the quantitation limit for lead. It is recommended that the facility be required to continue monitoring for lead without a limit. In-stream Monitoring The facility is currently required to monitor dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, temperature, and conductivity 50 feet upstream and downstream at SR18277. An analysis of 1999 and 2000 in- stream dissolved oxygen concentration indicated that there have been no violations of the DO standard in the stream. The difference between the upstream and the downstream locations rarely was greater than 10% and did not exceed 15%. The current recommendation is that in-stream monitoring continue for DO,fecal coliform, conductivity and temperature. Compliance Summary: (see Appendix B) July 2000-Toxicity failure.
