Easley, Governor William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director Mayor Derryl Garner Town of Newport P.O. Box 1869 Newport, North Carolina 28570 Dear Mayor Garner: NCDENR January 12, 2004 Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance Permit No. NC0021555 Town of Newport WWTP Carteret County Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended). The final permit authorizes the Town of Newport to discharge up to 0.750 MGD of treated domestic wastewater from the Town of Newport's current WWTP to the Newport River, a class C water in the White Oak River Basin. The permit includes discharge limitations and/or monitoring for flow, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), ammonia, dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform bacteria, pH, and total residual chlorine. These are the modifications that have been included in the final NPDES permit: • An effluent limitation page for flow of 0.750 MGD has been added to the permit. The Division must approve a request for Authorization to Construct or rerating prior to construction and/or modification of the WWTP to treat flows in excess of 0.500 MGD. • The addition of a total residual chlorine limits for 25 ug/1 at 0.500 MGD and 23 ug/1 at 0.750 MGD. In response to comments received concerning the TRC limits, you will find attached DWQ guidance for dechlorination and ultraviolet disinfections systems. According to current DWQ procedure, all dischargers to North Carolina waters must receive limit of 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/ 10% post -consumer paper Newport WWTP NC0021555 Page 2 total residual chlorine. If the discharge provides information that chlorine is not used for disinfection, the limit could be removed. • The addition of summer and winter weekly average NH3-N limits at 0.500 and 0.750 MGD to reflect the Division's current policy. According to the Code of Federal Regulations [40 CFR 122.45 (d)(2)], "continuous discharges ...shall unless impractical be stated as... average weekly and average monthly discharge limitations for POTWs". The weekly average limit is established based on a ratio of 3:1 (weekly average: monthly average) for municipal dischargers. The corresponding weekly average limits for ammonia nitrogen at the flow of 0.500 MGD are 4.2 mg/1 for the summer and 10.8 mg/1 for the winter. At the flow of 0.750 MGD, the corresponding weekly average limits for ammonia nitrogen are 3 mg/1 for the summer and 7.2 mg/1 for the winter. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding. Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other Federal or Local governmental permits may be required.

Nowell NPDES Unit NCDENR DWQ 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Phone (252) 223-4418 Fax 223-4921 RE: NPDES Draft Permit No. NC0021555 Dear Ms. Nowell; The Town of Newport has received our draft permit. Please be advised that our plant as currently configured is not designed to remove chlorine, and will be unable to comply with the new 0.25 pglL Chlorine effluent limit at 0.5 MGD flow. If I were to reduce the chlorine level enough to comply with this limit, I would not meet the Fecal Coliform limits. I consider the Fecal limit to be the more important, and we will strive to meet that limit. It would take an A to C to add dechlorination equipment. Our plan is to submit an A to C for the plant revisions to 750,000 GPD later this month. In that request we will be including a change in disinfection to an Ultraviolet System. This is a part of the Town's shift away from gas chlorine for safety reasons. We will also be installing a bleach disinfection system in our water system in the near future. The Town of Newport agrees to all of the other provisions in the draft permit. They are in line with what we were expecting. To keep from being in a non-compliance situation from the effective date of the new permit until we can get the plant upgrades completed, we are requesting that this provision of the permit be removed.

Facility discharges to Newport River with a stream classification of C. The discharger is located 7.4 miles upstream of the SA classification. The SA segment is listed on the 2002 303d list. The cause of impairment is fecal coliform and waters are closed for shellfishing. Town will be requesting a re -rating of WWTP for the expansion to 0.750. (Rerating of the facility will be very crucial to increasing the design flow to 0.750 MGD. Submitted calculations will have to show hat every unit could meet the hydraulic loading due to increased capacity.) The WWTP serves the Town of Newport and Newport Correctional facility for a total population of 3649 persons Facility has reached the 80/90 capacity therefore the request for expansion by plant re -rating. Application states 300,000 GPD of inflow and infiltration comes into plant. The existing effluent Limits @ 0.5 MGD are as follows: Summer Winter Qw 0.500 MGD 0.500 MGD BOD5 11 mg/1 22 mg/1 NH3 1.4 mg/1 3.6 mg/1 DO 5 mg/ 1 5 mg/ 1 Fecal Coliform 200/ 100 ml 200/ 100m1 Effluent monitoring for TRC, temperature, TN, TP , Oil & Grease Instream monitoring for DO, fecal coliform, temperature and conductivity. Per historical WLA information, at the Newport discharge point: DA = 46.8 mi2 QA = 63 cfs s7Q 10 = 0.4 cfs w7Q10= 0.9cfs 30Q2 = 2.8 cfs Newport WWTP Fact Sheet NPDES Renewal Page 1 c WiRO Staff Report recommendations: Site of Newport discharge is 5-10 feet above sea level. Newport River is used for commercial fishing and recreational boating and fishing. The river is tidal although designated Class C. Town wants to upgrade to 0.75 MGD by making improvements to clarifiers and adding a mechanical grit removal system and UV disinfection. Plant is Class 2 facility. WiRO is unclear whether Shellfish Sanitation will approve of the request. Shellfishing waters downstream are closed or conditionally open and portions of the river are on the 303d list for fecal coliform. RO thinks Newport may be limited to spray irrigation or reuse options for expansion. Newport is on the 80% list due to exceeding design flow in 1998 and needs to expand. IB&I work has been done and continues. Because of recent drought, its not clear whether the tlepairs have reduced flow because 2001 flows averaged about 66% of design flow. Plant meets current limits on a consistent basis and is well operated. RO Staff review of alternatives - 1) Underground disposal is not feasible with this amount of flow. WiRO has attempted to get the Town to discuss regionalization with surrounding towns including Mo ehead City and Beaufort. 2) Regional discharging system may be unfeasible due to the pro 'ty of waters in the area to shellfishing waters. 3) A regional nondischarge system is conceptual y workable but in the individual towns do not want to participate in a regional system and a pursuing expansion options on their own. WiRO recommends renewal of existing permit, but recommends careful and thorough review of expansion opion with all concerned parties. Consultation with Shellfish Sanitation Called J. D. Potts of Shellfish Sanitation in Morehead City about the Newport expansion. Said that a dye study would be needed to see the effects of the effluent. Because of the tidal effects of Newport River the dye would start to come back before it reaches the SA waters. They would have to do a hydrographic study. He used to inspect the plant, it appears to be fairly well operated and the effluent looks good. Problems: 1) People around there blame the treatment plant for problems in the river. 2) The Newport River has a lot of political backing as far as the she lfish farmers. fi Return call: Shellfish will definitely have to do the hydrographic dye study and they will reserve comment until the study is completed. It may take some time for the planning of the study because of the shorthanded staff, the actual study should only take 3-4 days. They will want to install a tidal gage, because they want measure the flow so that they can release the dye at flood time, wI ile the water is coming in. They will also sample the treatment plant at various places where it could fail. They will sample the clarifier, get a bacterial count, determine the dilution factors and then apply the final count of fecal at various points in the river. RESULTS OF SHELLFISH SANITATION NEWPORT RIVER DYE STUDY Dye study was completed on August 26, 2003. Purpose to see if the increased flow from the Newport WW'ITP (to 750,000 GPD) would affect the permanent shellfish closure approximately nine miles downstream. Tidal cycle information was needed and collected. The study shows that an increase of 250,000 GPD by the Newport WWTF will not effect the present location of > he permanent closure line in the upper Newport River. With proper notification of a spill or malfunction, Shellfish Sanitation would have time to enact a temporary closure. DWQ RECOMMIZNDATION FOR EXPANSION TO 0.750 MGD Due to lack of adequate modeling tool for tidal river, will recommend that existing loading for oxygen consuing parameters be held the same and equivalent load be given at 0.750 MGD. For ammonia limits must compare to see whether oxygen consuming or toxicity limits are more Newport WWTP Fact Sheet NPDES Renewal Page 2 stringent and assign the lower limits. Total residual chlorine limits will be added for both 0.5 MGD and 0.75 MGD.

INSTREAM MONITORING: Parameters: Dissolved Oxygen, Fecal Coliform, Temperature, Conductivity Upstream: US 70 Bypass Bridge, Downstream : US 70A Bypass Bridge, Review of instream monitoring data shows that the Newport River upstream of WWTP has DO problems in the summer months. From June to September 2003, the upstream monthly average DO values ranged from 3.7 mg/1 to 4.8 mg/1. Downstream values during the same period averaged from 4.2 to 5 mg/1 DO. Fecal values exceeded the standard both upstream and downstream in June 2003. Newport WWTP Fact Sheet NPDES Renewal Page 3 st From June to October 2002, the upstream monthly average DO values ranged from 3.6 mg/1 to 4.8 mg/1. Downstream values during the same period ranged from 3.7 mg/1 to 4.7 mg/1., except for the month of June when the average DO was 5.4 mg/1. Upstream and downstream fecal coliform values averaged above the standard in August and September. From June to September 2001, the monthly average DO values ranged from 3.9 mg/1 to 4.6 mg/1. Downstream values during the same period averaged from 3.9 mg/1 to 4.2 mg/1. Daily values were s low as 2.3 mg/1 both upsteam and downstream. From May t September 2000, the monthly average DO values ranged from 3.9 mg/1 to 4.9 mg/1. Down tream values during the same period averaged from 3.7 mg/1 to 4.8 mg/1. Recommen the continued instream monitoring for temperature, DO and fecal coliform. Fecal is rec mmended because of the projected fecal coliform TMDL that will be applied in year 2001.

Sullins, Deputy Director Division of Water Quality October 17, 2003 Mr. Bill Boulia Boulia Enterprise Real Estate Development P.O. Box 1765. Newport, North Carolina 28570 Subject: NPDES Permit for Town of Newport Permit No. NC0021555 Carteret County Dear Mr. Boulia: The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) recognizes and acknowledges your concern regarding the reissuance of the NPDES discharge permit for Town of Newport. Regrettably, the permitting process for increasing the permitted wasteflow that Newport discharges has taken longer than usual, however progress has been made and we are moving forward with the expansion process. Newport is currently permitted to discharge 500,000 gallons per day of treated wastewater into the Newport River and is asking that the discharge permit be increased to a total of 750,000 gallons per day. Our mandate is to protect and maintain the water quality of North Carolina's streams and rivers. Areas as environmentally sensitive as the shellfishing waters downstream of the Town of Newport are of special interest to our agency, as well as, the Division of Environmental Health, commercial fisherman, and citizens like you. Furthermore, this segment of the Newport River is listed on North Carolina's list of impaired streams based on high fecal coliform counts. Fecal coliform is a bacterial indicator for the presence of pathogenic organisms in water. Both DWQ and the Division of Environmental Health -Shellfish Sanitation Section have collaborated to insure an additional 250,000 gallons per day of wastewater will not cause any further water quality problems to the shellfish, fish and other aquatic life in the Newport River. A study was recently completed to evaluate the effect that an increase in wastewater would have on the permanent shellfish closure area approximately nine miles downstream of the wastewater treatment plant. The results indicate that the increase in wastewater will not effect the location of the permanent shellfish closure line in the upper Newport River. With the receipt of the study N. C. Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 (919) 733-7015 Airca NnDENR Customer Service 1-877-623-6748 Mr. Bill Boulia October 17, 2003 Page 2 data, DWQ is now ready to proceed with processing and evaluating the limits needed for the other wastewater constituents in the Newport discharge permit. The permit to allow this expansion will be drafted by mid -November 2003. By law, there must be a public notice period of 45 days to allow for public input. If there is no request for a public hearing on the modification of the permit, the permit authorizing the increase in wasteflow should be issued in January 2004. Again, we appreciate your input regarding this permit. If you have any questions regarding this issue, please contact Jacquelyn Nowell of the NPDES Permitting Unit at 919-733-5083, ext. 512. cc: Central Files Lt. Governor Beverly Perdue Rep. Jean R.

WiRO Staff eport recommendations: Site is 5-10 f et above sea level. Newport River is used for commercial fishing and recreational boating and fishing. The RIVER IS TIDAL ALTHOUGH DESIGNATED CLASS C WATERS. Town wants o upgrade to 0.75 MGD by making improvements to clarifiers and adding a mechanical grit removal ystem and UV disinfection. Plant is Class 2 facility. WiRO is unc ear whether Shellfish Sanitation will approve of the request. Shellfishing waters downstream re closed or conditionally open and portions of the river are on the 303d list for fecal coliform. RO thinks Newport may be limited to spray irrigation or reuse options for expansion. Newport is oithe 80% list due to exceeding design flow in 1998 and needs to expand. I&I work has been done an continues. Because of recent drought, its not clear whether the repairs have reduced flow because 001 flows averaged about 66% of design flow. Plant meets current limits on a consistent ba, is and is well operated. RO Staff review of alternatives —1) Underground disposal is not feasible with this amount of flow. WiRO has attempted to get the Town to discuss regionalization with surrounding towns including Morehead City and Beaufort. 2) Regional discharging system may be unfeasible due to the proximity of waters in the area to shellfishing waters. 3) A regional nondischarge system is conceptually workable but in the individual towns do not want to participate in a regional system and are pursuing expansion options on their own. WiRO recommends renewal of existing permit, but recommends careful and thorough review of expansion op ion with all concerned parties. 1/15/03 — rec'd email from Michael Wicker asking about status of permit application and recommends hat DWQ, WiRO, Newport and Shellfish Sanitation meet to discuss all the issues. Application siubmitted Dec. 21, 2001 Facility ser persons. es the Town of Newport and Newport Correctional facility, total population of 3649 Indicates t t 300,000 GPD of inflow and infiltration comes into plant. Plant is requesting a permit modificatio and ATC for clarifier, UV construction and re -rating of WWTP. 2002 303d list - Part 6 - The proper technical conditions do not vet exist to develop TMDLs. Newport River with a SA class (located 7.4 miles downstream of segment where the Newport WWTP discharges)1- Partially Supporting - Cause of impairment is fecal coliform- Potential Sources are onsite wast water systems (septic tanks), urban runoff/storm sewers, silvaculture, agriculture, municipal pint sources. 2/7/03 - Co ultation with SAW - recommended that I look at what limits for 0.750 MGD would be if the existing loading were held the same. Also said that the re -rating of the facility would be very crucial and that calculatiins would have to be submitted that showed that every unit of the facility could meet the hydraulic loading due to increased capacity. Said to consult with DAG but that Town, RO, and Shellfish Sanitation could have meeting. 2/14/03 (??) Walked with Michael Wicker. Called to check the status of the application. Town has applied for a grant a lication and it should be approved by the end of Feb. or early March. Said that town is above the 80 0 - 90% of design capacity. They have to do something. Carteret County is a fast growing county. Newport can be expanded easily by improving the units that they have. I&I have been looked at. Town is mostly domestic flow.

May have to give , since this is not a major municipal? 2/27/03 — C lled J. D. Potts of Shellfish Sanitation in Morehead City (252-726-7021) about the Newport a ansion. Said that a dye study would be needed to see the effects of the effluent. Because of the tidal ffects of Newport River the dye would start to come back before it reaches the SA waters. They would have to do a hydrographic study. He used to inspect the plant, it appears to be fairly well dperated, and the effluent looks good. Problems: 1) People around there blame the treatment plant for problems in the river. 2) The Newport River has a lot of political backing as far as the shellfish farmers. Return call: Shellfish will definitely have to do the hydrographic dye study and they will reserve comment until the study is completed. It may take some time for the planning of the study because of the shorthanded staff, the actual study should only take 3-4 days. They will want to install a tidal gage, because they want measure the flow so that they can release the dye at flood time, while the water is coning in. They will also sample the treatment plant at various places where it could fail. They will sample the clarifier, get a bacterial count, determine the dilution factors and then apply the final count f fecal at various points in the river. Again, most political pressure will come from the shellfish farmers, who blame a lot of the problems on the WWTP. 2/28/03 — G up review of EAA Recom-; end review of effluent data to see if they arebelow existing limits: See if they are curren below 7 nig/l GODS (the equivalent loading of 11 mg/l at 0 7501VIGD). if they are meeting 7 mg/I now, it may be possible to meet 7 mgfl: BODS at the expansion flow of 0.750 MGD, without dding tertiary filters. Reco end; for the expansion to 0.750 MGD 1).no increase in loading 2) recommend lower fecal co orm limits for SA waters downstream Check aaplication rates for non -discharge facility Check costs and if land is available Check. 'th RO to see if land application is available as an alternative 3/3/2003 — Rick Shiver of WiRO — called and said the expansion of the Newport WWTP is a very sensitive issue. The N.C. Coastal Federation had some real issues with the expansion of the Newport WWTP. T ey believe that the expansion would have the effect of having to expand the closure lines. If thathappens it would cause a change in the stream use. The Coastal Federation will become very active if there are changes in stream use. He does not think its time for a pow -wow with all the agencies yet. We should wait and see the results of the Shellfish Sanitation study and then move frimm there. Told him the study could take some time for planning but the actual dye study would only take about 3-4 days. Newport wants to use natural wetlands for land application, but he does not think that it will be allowed. WitO wants to recommend regionalization for nearby towns of Beaufort, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach and Newport. Rick thinks that there can be some type of land application on federal land, but no �e of the towns want to go the regionalization route. There are problems with all the facilities. Agrees with the strategy to wait for Shellfish Sanitation before proceeding with the permit. This one will have son1e issues. Review of historical wasteload allocations Notes of mod 1 run are not included in the WLAs included in the historical files. Limits assigned in 1976 for a Qw=0.25 MGD were 5/2/5, ultimate BOD of 13. 11/81- Li 'ts for Newport WWTP, Class SC, Qw=0.28 MGD. Limits are 16/6/5, TSS=30, Total coliform = 00/100 ml. "These limitations are based on a re-evaluation of the Newport model. DO violations are predicted in the river even with no waste discharge from the Newport facility. These suggested limitations will depress ambient DO concentrations by 0.1 mg/l." 2/83— WLA for 0.28 MGD, Existing summer limits with the addition of winter limits of 24/14, no DO, TSS=30 mg/I, pH = 6-8.5 S.U. 8/84 _WLA noted a request to run at both 0.4 MGD and 0.5 MGD. Used the Autoss model previously timed. Wasteflow needs to be converted to cfs in the model. 6/85 — limits for 0.5 mgd are 11/5/5 (summer) and 22/10/5 (winter). Note: These limits are being submitted t?EPA with the AT checklist for Newport. The technical basis for them is uncertain at best and wemay need to do an intensive study to develop new, better limits. Recommended by Meg Kerr on 5/30/85 10/87 — permit renewal at 0.25 mgd and 0.5 mgd. Recommended two downstream monitoring sites at Hwv 70 and Hwy 70A bridges. Existing limits are recommended for a based on 6/85 analysis. DO in the Newport River of < 5mg/1 have been regularly observed. Permit renewal Talked with River would upstream of Michelle Woolfolk of Planning: see attached emails. She did say that the entire Newport have a TMDL for fecal coliform in 2006. Checked instream data and high fecals are Newport and therefore also downstream. There are also substandard DO readings upstream and downstream of the facility. 6/18/03 — Coleen asked had I talked to JD Potts about the study for Newport. Asked when I had initially talkd with him and asked me to send that information to her via email. 9/30/03 - received results of Shellfish Sanitation Study- recently completed to evaluate the effect that an increase in wastewater would have on the permanent shellfish closure area approximately nine miles downstream of the wastewater treatment plant. The results indicate that the increase in wastewater ¶ ill not effect the location of the permanent shellfish closure line in the upper Newport River. With the receipt of the study data, DWQ is now ready to proceed with processing and lievaluating 'te limits needed for the other wastewater constituents in the Newport discharge permit.

Governor Beverly Purdue 20401 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27603 RE: DEHNR Permit for Newport Dear Governor Purdue, r)ci-3o6 J September 10, 2003 I am a general contractor / developer from Carteret County and I have some grave concerns with what I'm being told from the "City of Newport". I believe this item needs to be brought to your attention. I am owner and developer of the Newport River Shoppes. The project was submitted to the Town of Newport in 1999 and approved, at this time it is only 50% complete. Due to money restraints and other personal hurdles I have not been able to pursue my investment until today. My first step was to apply for a building permit to allow the calculation of the impact fees for water and sewer. The Newport Chief Building Inspector told me that he was unable to write any permits that required sewer extension from the towns system due to a moratoriurol_imposed on the town from NCDEHNR. I was told that the town has "fixed" the problem and has made improvements to the wastewater plant and collection system. The town has applied for a new permit to lift the moratorium and increase the discharge capacity of the plant. The permit application has been at DEHINR for about 2 years. DEHNR has sat on the permit and done nothing to respond to the cities needs. In the mean time Newport has not been able to meet the demand except to complete projects that were allocated sewer capacity prior to the moratorium. As a builder involved with similar permitting I have heard of other instances similar to what The Town of Newport is experiencing. This is indicative of the problem with DEHNR all over the county and state. I relocated in the town of Newport because of the "commercial highway" classification my business fall's under within the permitting required by the county. The approval of my plans several years ago allowed me to continue to follow my dream. It takes allot of planning from an entrepreneur to even be able to maneuver in this world. I would hope the processes are not being held up from "Red Tape" that would stop a small business in continuing to operate in Carteret County. Please look into the time it is taking for the NCDEHNR has such a Iong and so forgiving guide lines from which as a contractor and a citizen would not be able to exercise_ We all must answer to someone. Is there a specific time frame that is required to answer to permits? Unlimited General Contractor Lk. 1031262 HUS (252) 223.2122 FAX (252) 223-3004 P.O.

The Town of Newport has requested a NPDS permit from NCDWQ to increase their flow to seven hundred fifty thousand gallons per day (gpd). The purpose of the dye study was to see if the increased flow would affect the permanent shellfish closure approximately nine miles downstream. The plant's discharge is located at the head of the Newport River (See Closure Line Location Map) and has a permitted flow of five hundred thousand 4d. The plant uses an activated sludge oxygen ditch with secondary clarification. Chlorination is used for disinfection of the effluent. In order for the study to be performed on an outgoing tide, tidal cycle information was needed. Collection 9f tidal data using a Remote Data System (RDS) WL-80 began on the 10th of July. The tide gauge lavas located within five feet of the outfall pipe. Travel time through the outfall pipe from the injeection point to the discharge was determined with a slug of Tracing Dye prior to the study date. During the study, Rhodamine Wt dye with a known volume and concentration was pumped into the treated effluent outflow. Precise dye injection was accomplished with a Watson Marlow 504U peristaltic pump. Dilution of the dye in the river was measured with a Turner Design Model 10 AU Flourometer. The flourometer was calibrated and blanked before data collection. Data point lIpcations were captured using a Trimble GeoExplorer 3. The points were differentially corrected. Aseries of Fecal Coliform samples were collected from the Newport WWTP influent pipe and secondary clarifier. The results are used to project a worst -case scenario if the plant were to hav a malfunction. (Refer to Chart two, page 4) The dye stuffy was attempted on August 12th but it was ended prematurely due to a malfunctioning pump that was used to release dye at a constant rate. A replacement pump was obtained frorn the manufacturer within the week, however the next favorable tide did not occur tn. study date were high at until August 26 The general predictions for the Newport River on the s y g 1 8:04 am and low at 2:20 pm. Exact tidal information for the outfall pipe is included. (Refer to Graph 1, page 3) Beginning at 9:36 am on August 26th, Rhodamine Wt Dye (120*106 ppb concentration) was released ten minut t a rate of 43 mUmin into the outfall pipe. The dye entered the river in approximately s. Overall eight liters of dye mixture were injected into the outfall over 185 minutes. Newport WWTP's average flow for the duration of the release was 0.54 MGD. Flourometer readings v tide. Conc for the trey ere taken at the discharge pipe and downstream as the dye followed the out -going ntration of dye in the pipe, dilution factor and projected fecal counts were calculated tment plant. (See Formulas, Appendix 1; Chart 3, page 5) The last flourometer reading was taken approximately five hours after the dye entered the river, and fell well short of the existing permanent shellfish closure line. (See Closure Line Location and Study Sample Sites Map) The downstream sites were nearing the end of their tidal cycle. The maximum fecal sample from the clarifier was used to project the fecal count downstream, simulating the Newport WWTP having a failure in the disinfection system. A MPN of less than two per 100 mi was projected for the last sample location using both the current and proposed flow. In the event of a malfunction the effluent would under go multiple tidal mixings before reaching the permanent closure line. The study shows that a flow increase of .25 MGD by the Newport Treatment, Plant will not effect the present location of the permanent closure line in the upper Newport R!ver. In addition with proper notification of a spill or malfunction, Shellfish Sanitation would havel time to enact a temporary closure. The results and conclusions derived from this study are only applicable for the conditions present during the study period. 2 Newport River Tide Data @ WWTP Discharge TIDE 70 9:46 am, Dye entered the River 60. 50 15 40 w 1 a 12:41 pm, Dye injection ended a c 03 30 U 20 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Q o N ai r T 25-Aug-03 1 I 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 cD N e6 r T 26-Aug-03 Time 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 cd N 27-Aug-03 GRAPH 1, Page 3 Newport River Dye Study August 26,2003 Chart 1 Pump Time Start End Duration (min) 9:36 AM 12:41 PM 185 Rhodamine Wt Dye Dye Concentration 2.40E+08 Cd Release Mixture (conc 1.20E+08 Volume (L) 8 Release Rate (ml/min) 43.24 Qd Dye (GPD) 16.45 Cs Dye (Conc in pipe) 3.64E+03 2nd hour 3rd hour End Qs Average WWTP Flow (MGD) Begin 0.65 1st hour 0.50 0.50 0.59 0.47 0.54 Proposed Increase Qs Flow (MGD) Cs Dye (Conc in pipe) 0.75 2.63E+03 Chart 2 Fecal Counts Sample Date Clarifier Inflow Flow(MGD) 1 7/10/2003 49000 5400000 2 8/6/2003 79000 - 3 8/27/2003 7000 - 0.49 4 8/28/2003 13000 3300000 0.53 5 9/2/2003 23000 2300000 0.65 Maximum 79000 5400000 Page 4 Newport River Dye Study August 26,2003 ,*,.

Today I got a call from Cheryl Stevens about our comment on the proposed expansion of the Newport WWTP and about the dye study that we are suppose to do. J.D. Potts got a call several months ago asking for our comment on the WWTP. As of this date my office has not received a copy of the proposed expansion plans for the plant. Before we can comment we need to know what is in the proposal. We will need to complete the dye study but due to increased shellfish closures and recreational water quality advisories and postings from rainfall this spring, we have not had the opportunity to do this. I am sorry for the delay but we will make every effort to complete the work as soon as possible. If you have any questions please call at 252-726-6827.

However, some of the n that you need is the following: arge is upstream of SA waters (shellfishing waters) . In these Shellfish Sanitation staff evaluate the discharge to determine nd whether in their opinion the increase in discharge would result in additional closures of shellfish resources. If the answer to that question is yes, we can not permit an expansion. We contacted J.D. Potts with Shellfish Sanitation in late February. They advised that they were going to schedule a dye study to determine the probability of increased impacts to the shellfish resources. We have not gotten that information to date. We also informed the consultant of Shellfish Sanitation process and encouraged them to contact them as well. I do not believe that the dye study has been completed (expected to be this summer is my understanding). An additional problem is that the waters are currently classified as impaired due to fecal coliform (the issue with shellfish) and low dissolved oxygen. We will be constrained as to what actions we can take by both the determinaIion from Shellfish and the impaired waters (federally we can not allow any additional load of pollutants into impaired waters).

However, some of the information t at you need is the following: This discharge is upstream of SA waters (shellfishing waters). In these cases, the Shellfish Sanitation staff evaluate the discharge to determine the risk and whether in their opinion the increase in discharge would result in additional closures of shellfish resources. If the answer to that question is yes, we can not permit an expansion. We contacted J.D. Potts with Shellfish Sanitation in late February. They advised that they were going to schedule a dye study to determine the probability of increased impacts to the shellfish resources. We have not gotten that information to date. We also informed the consultant of Shellfish Sanitation process and encouraged them to contact them as well. I do not believe that the dye study has been completed (expected to be this summer is my understanding). An additional problem is that the waters are currently classified as impaired due to fecal coliform (the issue with shellfish) and low dissolved oxygen. We will be constrained as to what actions we can take by both the determination from Shellfish and the impaired waters (federally we can not allow any additional load of pollutants into impaired waters). Until we receive the results from the study, we can not proceed. I am still checking into the sewer capacity issue and do not have an anwer on that question. I'll get that as soon as possible.

When you get your Rural Center Contract we may need to adjust the timeline to reflect the dlays by Shellfish Sanitation. Since the increase from 0.5 mgd to 0.750 mgd does not require a EA we did not request speculative limits. Also since your permit rnewal was due in conjunction with the WWTP evaluation and the need to expand the WWTP it only made sense to just request a renewal with a modification. Speculative 4mits are normally requested for EA impacts and prior to major expansions and renovations to not invest too much prior to proceeding with expansion plans. Lately speculative limit requests take as long as permit requests. Speculative limits are not required in the DWQ rules for NPDES permits nor in the SEPA rules for which, this project meets the minimum critera. DWQ does need to develop the limits as part of the NPDES permit review process and may need to m del the river to do so. They also can request that a study of the Shell fish im acts be undertaken. I am not sure that either DWQ or Shell Fish understand tht Newport is under the assumption that you would not be increasing the pounds per day of pollutants because you expect the concentrations of your limits to decrease. Th fact that we will improve the solids settling and removal and go to UV disinfects n in hopes to not only meet the new limits but also the reuse rules seems to be missing in their concerns; however, all this will be addressed during their review. At this time it appears to be a cursory review and when they see what we plan to do the increased treatment levels should address the concerns listed below. Original Message From: Jackie Nowell [mailto:jackie.nowell@ncmail.net] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 12:38 PM To: Michael Wicker Subject: Re: Town of Newport NPDES Permit Hello Mike, I called and left a message for you earlier this week. Just to let you know how the Newport project is progressing. The following issues are being addressed. 1) Our files co not show a request from Newport for speculative limits for the expansion to 0.750 MGD. These should have been developed prior to the request for permit modification. Because of the tidal effects in the Newport River, conventional nodeling tools may not be appropriate. Additional DWQ staff are being consulted and we are working to establish speculative limits. For clarification, the development of speculative limits does not guarantee that an expansion will be allowed. 2) We have contacted Shellfish Sanitationt. They have indicated that they want to do a hydrographic dye study in the Newport River to determine the effects of additional of luent into the river. Due to staff shortages, they were unable to pinpoint how ong the setup of this study would take, although the actual study will only take 3-4 days. With the fecal coliform problems in the Newport River and shellfish water closures downstream of the Newport discharge, DWQ feels that Shellfish Sanitation input and comment is vital before moving forward with the Newport request. Any questions regarding the study can be addressed to J.D. Potts at 252-726-7021. 3) A thorough review of the alternatives report is to be done. A preliminary review has been done and any questions or requests for additional information will be forwarded to you. 4) Finally, as a point of information, there will be a TMDL for fecal coliform in 1 of 2 6/18/03 10:05 AM FW: Town of Newport NPDES Permit the entire Newport River which will be effective in 2006. Any questions regarding the TMDL should be directed to Michelle Woolfolk of the TMDL/Modeling group, 919-733-5083 ext 505.

Newport's average fecal coliform discharge ranged between 1 - 6/100m1 for 2002, so they should not have any problems meeting the more stringent fecal limit.

Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant Funds or are any public monies (municipals only) involved? No 2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: None 3. Important SOC, JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: None 4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: Included with submittal. Underground disposal is not feasible for this amount of flow. This office has attempted to persuade the Town to discuss regionalization with surrounding towns including Morehead City and Beaufort. A regional discharging system appears to be unfeasible at this time due to the proximity of waters in the area to shellfishing waters. A regional nondischarge system is conceptually workable, but it appears as though the individual towns do not want to participate in a regional system and are pursuing expansion options on their own. See further comments below. 5. Other Special Items: None PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Newport is requesting renewal to include an expanded discharge to 0.75 MGD to the Newport River. It is unclear from the outset whether Shellfish Sanitation will approve of the request. Shellfishing waters downstream are closed or conditionally open, and portions of the river are on the 303d list for fecal coliform. With the proximity and condition of shellfishing waters and the bleak outlook for a regional disposal system, it appears as though Newport may be limited to spray irrigation or reuse options if it wants to expand. The Town is currently on the "80% list" due to exceeding 80% design flow during 1998 and is in need of expanding. Work has been performed to repair I&I sources and is continuing. It is unclear due to the recent drought whether the repairs have reduced flow significantly. Flows during 2001 averaged 66% of design flow. The plant is operated well and consistantly complies with current effluent limits. Although submitted with the renewal, the expansion proposal was not reviewed closely due to the uncertainty of approval. It is recommended the permit be reissued to the Town of Newport in accordance with the White Oak River Basinwide plan with the existing flow limit in place. The expansion request should be looked at closely with all interested agencies U/NO Signature of Report Preparer Date n ti Q r1 t o (� / UC:.Z Water Quality Regional Supervisor DateU cc: WiRO NPDES Permit File Central Files $7/5:0-0 Hobbs, Upchurch & Associates, P.A. , yer, Consulting Engineers 300 S.W.

WWTP NPDES Permit No. NC0021555 Carteret County, NC Dear Mr. Goodrich: We are requesting a NPDES permit renewal/ modification on the behalf of the Town of Newport for the existing 0.500 mgd wastewater treatment plant. The NPDES permit expires July 31, 2002 and the application for permit renewal prior to 180 days of expiration is enclosed. The Town requests renewal of the existing 0.500 mgd NPDES discharge. In addition the Town is requesting an expansion of the existing permitted discharge from 0.500 mgd to 0.750 mgd. Attached is an engineering evaluation of the existing wastewater treatment facilities and the recommendations for expansion of the facilities. It appears that the existing wastewater treatment facility has the design capacity to be expanded from 0.500 mgd to 0.750 mgd with relatively minor modifications. The recommendations are as follows: __ __ The 0.75 MGD WWTP is proposed to consist of the following unit processes: • Screening - Replace existing Manual bar rack (Main) with new Mechanical Bar Scre n - Manual 'bar rack (Pump Station Discharge) • Replace existing Manual Grit Removal with Mechanical Grit Removal • Influent Pumping Station (Utilize existing pumps, replace controls) • Secondary biological treatment - Extended aeration using oxidation ditch (1) (Utilize existing basin, rbtors);___:-_ _ - Final sedimentation basins (2) (Replace existing clarifiers with new Flarifier optimization package equipment) ■ Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) Pumping (Purchase Spare Pump for standby) • Final Disinfection -Replace Chlorination with Ultra -violet Disinfection in existing chamber. • Effluent Flow Measurement (utilize existing) ■ Post Aeration (Replace Floating Aerator with Blower and PVC diffuser) 121 Cr) Southern Pines, NC • Telephone 910-6_92-5616 • Fax 910-692-7342 • e-mail: info@hobbsupchurch.com Myrtle Beach • Nags Head • Raleigh • Charlotte • Beaufort • Aerobic D • Sludge De • Sludge dis • The above effective requested The Regional of Carteret, C evaluated vari quo.
