Subject: Draft NPDES Permit
Permit NC0050105
Rockfish Creek WRF
Cumberland County
Dear Mr. Noland:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of a draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully
to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from your current permit:
> 2/month monitoring for copper silver and zinc have been added because these parameters presented
reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards based on the statistical analysis of the effluent
data.
> This permit already contains a monthly average ammonia (NH3-N) limit. In order to comply
with federal regulations, a corresponding weekly average ammonia limit has been added.
> Per your request, an additional effluent sheet has been added to this permit to accommodate
the anticipated Phase III upgrade to 28 MGD. The limits were based on modeling developed
in April 2002. )
> To support nutrient -sensitive modeling for the Middle Cape Fear watershed, the Division now requires
permit re -opener language for supplementary nutrient monitoring to be added to the permit.
> An effluent pollutant scan has been added to the permit. This scan is required to fulfill EPA's
application requirement for major municipal wastewater treatment facilities.
Please submit any comments to me no later than January 12, 2007. Comments should be sent to the
address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are received from the public or from you, this
permit will likely be issued in January, with an effective date of March 1, 2007. If you have any questions or
comments concerning this draft permit, you may contact me at the telephone number (919). 733-5083 ext 508.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A.. (5.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)- for 16 MGD
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 3.5%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly 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: Environmental Sciences Section
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
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 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.

A. (6.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)- for 21 MGD
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 4.6%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, _ uA arterly 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 fmal 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

FACT SHEET FOR NPDES PERMIT DEVELOPMENT
. NPDES Permit No. NC0050105
INTRODUCTION
The City of Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) — Rockfish Creek Water
Reclamation Facility (WRF), herein called Rockfish Creek or the permittee, requires a
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit to discharge treated
wastewater to the waters of the state. The permittee's 5-year NPDES permit expired at
midnight on October 31, 2006 and have requested renewal from the Division of Water
Quality. This Fact Sheet summarizes' background information and rationale used by the
Division to determine permit limits and monitoring frequencies.
FACILITY DESCRIPTION
Rockfish Creek is a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) utilizing a Grade IV
conventional treatment system to treat domestic and industrial wastewater. The treatment
system utilizes an influent pump station, a mechanical bar screen, grit removal device, dual
primary clarifiers, activated sludge system, secondary clarifiers, sand filters, chlorine contact
chamber, and aerobic digesters. Table 1. Summarizes the receiving stream characteristics and
facility description.

Rockfish Creek is a major municipality in Cumberland County, serves 105,860 people, and
three significant industrial users. Thefacility has permitted phased limits of 16,21,24, and 28
MGD was added during this renewal. For the past two years, monthly average flow varied
within the range of 11.5 — 14.2 MGD as reported in the Discharge Monitoring Report
(DMR). The permittee is a member of the Cape Fear Monitoring Coalition, and all its in -
stream monitoring is conditionally waived for the duration of its membership in the
Coalition. Rockfish Creek has three significant industrial users (-1% of the total flow) and a
full-scale pretreatment program; The permit will continue to require PWC to implement its
pretreatment program.
BASINWIDE PLAN
Cape Fear River [18-(26) a] from City of Fayetteville water supply intake to Peares (6.4
miles) is supporting aquatic life because no criteria were exceeded at site BA492 (Cape Fear
River Basinwide Water Quality Plan, 2005).
Dischargers will monitor nutrients at the frequencies set in their existing permits, which
should be consistent with those in the 2B .0508 rules. The permit will include a re -opener
Special Condition allowing the Division to incorporate monitoring requirements or other
conditions during this permit term if necessary to support water quality studies (Supplement
to NPDES Permitting Strategies Cape Fear River Basin, 2006).
WASTE LOAD ALLOCATION (WLA1
The last waste load allocation was done in 1995 and developed effluent limits and monitoring
requirements for BOD, ammonia and TSS, considering an in -stream waste concentration (IWC)
of 3.5, 4.6 and 5.2 % at 16, 21 and 24 MGD respectively. The waste load allocation was done
for BOD but for unknown reason, it was applied in the last permit as CBOD.
TOTAL RESIDUAL CHLORINE (TRC)
The permittee currently uses chlorine for disinfection. The Division has implemented TRC
policy to protect. aquatic life in the waters of the State and has adopted aquatic life standard for
TRC. A TRC limit of 28 ug/1 will be continued in this permit to be consistent with the Division's
TRC policy.
REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS (RPA)
To establish a list of pollutants of concern (POCs), the Division examined Rockfish Creek's permit
application, pretreatment data, two years of Discharge Monitoring Reports (January 2004 through
September 2006), and the basin plan. The previous NPDES permit contain no metals
limits/monitoring; however, effluent metals data are collected quarterly under the Pretreatment
Long Term Monitoring Program (LTMP).
Fact Sheet
Renewal -- NPDES NC0050105
Page 2

The 2004 to 2006 LTMP data set were evaluated for arsenic, copper, cyanide, cadmium,
chromium, lead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, silver, selenium, phenol, and zinc. There was no
detection for most of these parameters. RPA were performed on all the parameters that were
detected, see the results below. Also evaluation of the priority pollutant analysis in the permit
application indicated detection for chlorodibromomethane, chloroform, dichlorobromomethane,
and mercury; however, none of these pollutants presented reasonable potential to exceed
applicable water quality standard.
Reasonable potential analysis was performed on chromium, copper, cyanide, lead, molybdenum,
nickel, silver, and zinc.
Chromium - The maximum predicted concentration is less than the allowable concentration. No
limit/monitoring is recommended. Monitoring in LTMP will continue.
Copper — The maximum predicted concentration is greater than the allowable concentration. This
is an action level parameter. 2/month monitoring is added to this permit.
Cyanide - The maximum predicted concentration is less than the allowable concentration. No
limit/monitoring is recommended. Monitoring in LTMP will continue.
Lead - The maximum predicted concentration is less than the allowable concentration. No
limit/monitoring is recommended. Monitoring in LTMP will continue.
Molybdenum - The maximum predicted concentration is less than the allowable concentration.
No limit/monitoring is recommended. Monitoring in LTMP will continue.
Nickel - The maximum predicted concentration is less than the allowable concentration. No
limit/monitoring is recommended. Monitoring in LTMP will continue.
Silver - The maximum predicted concentration is greater than the allowable concentration. This
is an action level parameter. 2/month monitoring is added to this permit.
Zinc - The maximum predicted concentration is greater than the allowable concentration. This is
an action level parameter. 2/month monitoring is added to this permit.

The permittee has passed eighteen out of the nineteen WET tests from January 2002 to July
2006. See the attached WET testing summary.
COMPLIANCE REVIEW
DWQ - Fayetteville Regional Office (FRO) staff conducted an annual facility inspection and
Dale Lopez prepared a staff report dated June 22, 2006. The facility is in satisfactory condition
and in compliance with the permit. However, it was noted that temperatures of the effluent
composite refrigerator were not recorded adequately and some of the temperatures exceeded the
range of 1.0 to 4.4 degrees Celsius. It is recommended appropriate corrective actions should be
taken regarding the above -mentioned inadequacies. The FRO recommended issuing the permit
with limits for only 21 MGD but FONSI was issued for expansion so phased limits for 28 MGD
has been included.
DMR records indicated the facility had good compliance history during January 2004
through September 2006 reporting period. Facility had only one CBOD5 monthly average
limit exceedances in April 2006. CBOD5 permit limit is 5 mg/1 but the permittee reported 5.1
mg/1.
INSTREAM DATA REVIEW
Coalition instream monitoring data was reviewed for the period beginning January 2004
through January 2006. Instream monitoring is required for dissolved oxygen, conductivity,
and temperature. Monitoring is conditionally waived based on the participation in the Cape
Fear River Basin Monitoring Coalition. The analysis of DO, temperature, and conductivity
data showed that the facility might not impact the stream negatively. (Coalition Instream
Monitoring Data attached).
PROPOSED CHANGES
• Monitoring Frequencies:
■ 2/month monitoring for copper, silver and zinc have been added because these
pollutants presented reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards based
on the statistical analysis of the effluent data.
• Recent Expansion to 21 MGD. The previous permit issued on October 7, 2002 included
phased limits of 16, 21 and 24 MGD. In March 2003,. facility requested and received an
ATC for phase II upgrade from 16 to 21 MGD, which included four (4) influent screw
pumps, three (3) mechanical bar screens, one (1) manual bar screen, four (4) parshall
flumes, two (2) vortex grit collectors, three (3) grit pumps, and two (2) grit cyclones and
classifiers; aeration basin improvements; RAS piping improvements; a new chlorine
contact tank; outfall modifications; two (2) new 1.2 million gallon aerobic sludge
digesters; a new 5,000 SCFM blower for sludge aeration; miscellaneous site work. An
Fact Sheet
Renewal -- NPDES NC0050105
Page 4

engineer's certification for the completion of the phased II upgrade to 21 MGD has not
been received.
• Additional Expansion Request to 28 MGD design flow. In May 2006 PWC prepared a
SEPA EA for phased expansion to 28 MGD. and received a Finding of No Significant
Impact (FONSI) on May 19, 2006. The information presented for the SEPA EA also met
the requirements of the EAA for a flow justification,and engineering alternative analysis.
Speculative effluent limits for the proposed expansion to.28 MGD were developed on
June 27, 2003. These speculative effluent limits shall be placed in the proposed
expansion of 28 MGD design flow effluent limitation page. Speculative limits of BOD
rather than CBOD limits would be added to the 28 MGD phased effluent limitation page.
• Priority pollutant scan has been added to fulfill EPA's permit renewal application
requirement for major municipal wastewater treatment facilities.
