The current permit contains ammonia nitrogen limits for winter (November 1 — March 31) that are greater than 2 times those for summer (April 1 — October 31). A review of discharge monitoring data from November 2015 to March 2020 shows that the permittee will be able to meet stricter limits in winter a majority of the time. As such, the ammonia nitrogen limits for winter will be reduced per 15A NCAC 02B .0404(c). Winter ammonia nitrogen data from November 1, 2015 through March 31, 2020: • Maximum daily value = 21 mg/L • Minimum daily value = < 0.1 mg/L • Average daily value = 2.04 mg/L Current hermit limits: Monthly Avg Daily Max NH3 as N C0610 (April 1 - October 31 4.4 mg/L 22 mg/L NH3 as N C0610 November 1 - March 31 12.0 mg/L 35.0 mg/L Page 2 of 8 Pro osed permit limits: Monthly Avg Daily Max NH3 as N CO610 (April 1 -October 31) 4.4 mg/L 22 mg/L NH3 as N CO610 (November 1 - March 31) 8.8 mg/L 35.0 mg/L Section 3.

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

However, application of the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge. The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream) hardness and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge. Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The discharge -specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal (more on that below), but it is also possible to consider case - specific translators developed in accordance with established methodology. RPA Permitting Guidance/WQBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern, based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based on applicable standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream. If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e. consistently below detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit. 1. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the following information: Page 5 of 8 • Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10 (the spreadsheet automatically calculates the 1 Q 10 using the formula 1 Q 10 = 0.843 (s7Q I0, CfS) 0.993 • Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred • Permitted flow • Receiving stream classification 2. In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness -dependent metal of concern and for each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and instream (upstream) hardness values to use in the equations. The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for any hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for instream hardness values, upstream of the discharge. If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation using a default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)). Minimum and maximum limits on the hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L, and 400 mg/L, respectively. If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness -dependent metal showing reasonable potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site -specific effluent and upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using the new data. The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows: Combined Hardness (chronic) _ (Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. Effluent Hardness, mg/L) x (s7Q10, cfs *Avg. Upstream Hardness, m_/g_L) (Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q 10, cfs) The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the IQ 10 flow. 3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total recoverable metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site -specific translators, if any have been developed using federally approved methodology. Page 6 of 8 EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved" converts the value for dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in -stream ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients found in The Metals Translator: Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion (EPA 823-B-96-007, June 1996) and the equation: Cdiss = I Ctotal I + { [Kpo] [SS(I+a)] [10-6] } Where: ss = in -stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1], minimum of 10 mg/L used, and Kpo and a = constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved and adsorbed forms of metals. A list of constants used for each hardness -dependent metal can also be found in the RPA program under a 4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition coefficient (or site -specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist (ie. silver), the dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion factor to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This method presumes that the metal is dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria development for metals. For more information on conversion factors see the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document. 5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable concentration (permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation: Ca = (s7Q10 + Qw) (Cwgs) — (s7Q10) (Cb) Qw Where: Ca = allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L) Cwqs = NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria (µg/L or mg/L) Cb = background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or mg/L) Qw = permitted effluent flow (cfs, match s7Q10) s7Q10 = summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from noncarcinogens (cfs) * Discussions are on -going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations Flows other than s7Q 10 may be incorporated as applicable: IQ 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity Page 7 of 8 QA = used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from carcinogens 30Q2 = used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality 6. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of concern. Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date of the permit application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th percentile upper concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are compared to the Total allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary. If the predicted max exceeds the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations, the discharge is considered to show reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard, and a permit limit (Total allowable concentration) is included in the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support Document for Water Quality - Based Toxics Control published in 1991. 7. When appropriate, permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in accordance with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to Alexis Strauss on 40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements. 8. The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total chromium data results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical results based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum concentration (95th %) for total chromium will be compared against water quality standards for chromium III and chromium VI. 9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness - dependent metals to ensure the accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset. 10. Hardness and flow values used in the Reasonable Potential Analysis for this permit included: Parameter Value Comments (Data Source) Average Effluent Hardness No RPA necessary (mg/L) N/A Total as, CaCO3 or Ca+M Average Upstream Hardness No RPA necessary (mg/L) N/A [Total as, CaCO3 or Ca+M ] 7Q10 summer cfs N/A No RPA necessary 1 10 cfs N/A No RPA necessary Permitted Flow MGD N/A No RPA necessary Page 8 of 8 Young, Brianna A From: Vito Montaperto <veeeeee6@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2021 9:50 AM To: Young, Brianna A Subject: [External] Re: Issued NPDES Permit NCO073393 CAUTION: External email.

Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in accordance with the NPDES Permit, this Authorization to Construct and the approved plans and specifications. Mail the Certification to the NPDES Unit, Division of Water Quality, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617. One (1) set of approved plans and specifications is being forwarded to you. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Susan A. Wilson, P.E., telephone number (919) 733-5083, extension 510. Sincerely, an W.

Laughter, Austin, and Associates, P.A. 131 Fourth Avenue East Hendersonville, NC 28792 ATC SUMMARY SCOPE Dana -Hill Retirement Community Henderson County, NC ATC No. 073393AOI UT Devils Fork, C French Broad River Basin, 040302 Henderson County The scope of the project includes the addition of flow splitting to split flow between previously approved 0.02 MGD plant and refurbished (and previously approved) 0.01 MGD plant. Both plants are full package plants with tablet chlorination. This addition also includes a dechlorination basin and composite effluent sampling. REVIEW SUMMARY Executive Summary The subject facility received an NPDES renewal permit November 8, 2000. This facility also received an ATC for a 0.02 MGD package plant February 18, 1999 with the stipulation that if the 0.01 MGD plant were to be used - flow proportioning between the plants must be provided. This ATC includes the flow proportioning, along with dechlorination and effluent composite sampling. Application/Plans Prepared by: Jon H. Laughter, P.E. Laughter, Austin, and Associates, P.A. 131 Fourth Avenue East Hendersonville, NC 28792 Project Location: Henderson County Review Notes: The existing splitter box in the 0.02 MGD plant will be used to split flow to the 0.02 MGD plant and the refurbished 0.01 MGD plant. Both package plants have tablet chlorination with 30 minute contact time. With this ATC, the permittee is being proactive and adding a 500 gallon baffled chamber for dechlorination (tablet). Effluent sampling is shown at the beginning of dechlor chamber - this should be placed at the end of the chamber. This ATC will increase the permitted flow to 0.03 MGD (for which it is permitted). Mr. Roy Davis, ARO, strongly recommends issuance. Although the plans are somewhat inadequate - he has spoken with the operator and assures me that the operator will make this work properly. Due to this and the minimal requirements for this ATC, I will issue it. The facility is being proactive with dechlorination. The plans indicated effluent sampling at the beginning of dechlorination. I will state that effluent sampling should be conducted at the end of the dechlorination basin. t Ut. 14Y fDv'S CpaF!

The request is seeking permission to construct appurtenances necessary to reactivate a 10,000 gpd package plant to be operated in parallel with a 20,000 gpd plant currently in operation. Specifically Jon Laughter proposes to construct a tube type effluent dechlorination system, relocate the recording flow meter, install a composite sampler and modify an existing influent flow splitter to serve both plants. On July 7, 2004 I visited the plant in the company of the owner and ORC. I recommend that you issue the requested Authorization to Construct based on the information we currently have in our hands. I have confidence that the ORC can take the plans and modify the Dana -Hill sewage treatment plant in such a way that it will work quite satisfactorily. As always, I would enjoy the opportunity to talk to you if we need to discuss this matter further. 73393mem.04 2090 U.S. Highway 70, Swannanoa, North Carolina 28778 Telephone 828-296-4500 FAX 828-296-7043 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper maAbox:///C I /Documents%20and%20Set6rgs/chades weaver/App... Subject: Re: Dana Hill A to C From: Charles Weaver <charles.weaver(p ncmail.net> Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2004 11:44:05 -0500 To: Roy Davis <Roy.Davis@ncmail.net> BCC: Dave Goodrich <Dave.Goodrich@ncmail.net> Roy: Two AtC permits have been issued for the Dana -hill WWTP (NC0073393). 0073393AC was issued on January 9, 1990, for the original 0.01 MGD -plant. Jon Laughter submitted a completion certification for it on August 19, 2002. 073393ACB was issued on February 18, 1999, for a new 0.02 MGD plant. No completion certification was submitted, though Laughter did say that the plant was "in service" in the letter accompanying the certification for 0073393AC. Permit 073393ACB states that another AtC "for flow -proportioning facilities must be requested" before the Permittee can operate the two treatment trains together [for a total capacity of 0.03 MGD]. There's no record that the owner (Vito Montaperto), the engineer (Laughter) or their contract operator (Harry James of James & James) has ever requested such an AtC. Vito called me in November asking for proof we had received the completion certificate for the 0.01 MGD plant; I faxed it to him. Laughter called me in December asking for the same thing; I faxed it to him. You asked for it last month - I faxed it to you. Larry James called yesterday, and I fared it to him. It sounds from your message that what they really wanted was an AtC for operating both plants together, and we have NO RECORD THATfANYONE EVER REQUESTED IT. Further, if any of the parties involved has asked me for "approval to operate both plants", I could have researched the problem long ago. however, I received a succession of calls asking for approval "to use the 10,000-gallon plant", which I provided. Thus my confusion and extreme frustration, and thus our current problem. If they want to operate the 0.01 MGD train, they can. If they want to operate the 0.02 MGD train, they can. If they want to operate the two trains together, they must request an AtC and show how flow will be proportioned among the two trains. I recommend they contact Susan Wilson or Mike Templeton in our Unit for advice on preparing the AtC request. I don't issue AtCs and could offer little help.

I left you a voice mail message asking that you send me a copy of the A to C. You faxed me a copy of the 1990 Engineer's Certification relating to the original construction of the 10,000 gpd WWTP. A review of ARG filed does not produce a copy of an A to C for the necessary improvements to operate the two preatment plants in parallel. In my dealings with the owners and their consulting engineer that will be my position. If I am wrong please I -et me know before I start sawing on this limb I am sitting on.

This permission is allowable because this facility has a design flow less than or equal to 30,000 gallons/day and under that condition according to 15A NCAC 02B .0505 (c)(3)(113): The Director may specify the methods of sample collection as to type of sample and type of composite sampling required. This approval is contingent upon your composite sampling consisting of aliquots of at least 100ml collected with intervals not to exceed 20 minutes between aliquots. The Division reserves the right to change the method of composite sampling again if we find reason to believe that this timed composite method is not producing representative samples.

It is currently proposed that your renewed permit have separate effluent limitations pages for 10,000 gallons per day and for 42,000 gallons per day. As we discussed by telephone, additional treatment facilities for continuous flow measurement, dechlorination, and ammonia reduction, as well as for treatment capacity will be necessary for expansion. As per our conversation, you were given the choice of selecting a numerical ammonia limit or a toxicity testing requirement to add to your NPDES Permit for the 10,000 gallon per day effluent limitations page. This letter confirms that you have selected the ammonia limits of 11 mg/l summer and 32 mg/1 winter. By copy of this letter, I am also informing our Technical Services Support Group in Raleigh of your choice so that they may make the appropriate change to your permit.
