Pretreatment Annual Report
2020
Narrative
The Town of Hamilton owns and operates a 0.08 MGD wastewater treatment facility with one (1)
industrial discharger, Penco Products, Inc. Penco Products is a categorical user (433.17) that
manufactures metal goods, primarily lockers.
Penco Products, Inc. has been issued an Industrial User Permit that requires self monitoring on a
quarterly basis along with monitoring by the town, also monitoring the facility's discharge on a
quarterly basis. Over the years the industry has experienced very few problems complying with
their permit limits. There were instances where the industry's discharge permit limits were
violated, primarily associated with Zinc. As a result, the industry was granted an Authorization to
Construct for the construction of additional pretreatment equipment on February 3, 2020 and
proceeded to install additional equipment, a small package type system, capable of maintaining
compliance with their Zinc limit as well as improving discharge numbers for other parameters.
In the past year the industry's discharge has generally been compliant. There was one violation in
2020 and additional testing with improved results indicated a return to compliance. A Notice of
Violation was issued for the Zinc violation. Throughout 2020, sampling and testing for the
parameters outlined in the permit have been completed as required. The industry's installation of
the treatment system seems to have been a successful solution to the Zinc challenges that they had
previously faced.

Subject: End of 2020 Pretreatment Mailing
Dear Pretreatment Professionals:
As we draw to the close of another complex pretreatment year, we wanted to provide you an update on
some issues, inform you on this year's upcoming workshops and distribute the Pretreatment Program Info
Database sheets.
1. Dental Amalgam Rule: Please include with your report the number of dental facilities covered and
response rate. If you need additional time beyond March 1, 2021 please request an extension and a
proposed date.
2. Rules U dates: This is a reminder that the State Pretreatment rules (.0900) were updated effective on
July 1, 2019. Per 15A NCAC 02H .0917(a), each control authority shall transmit to the Division
copies of all significant industrial user pretreatment permits 30 days prior to the effective date.
Please note that approved permit writers can submit the IUPs at the time of issuance. More details on
how to become an approved permit writer can be found on the Permit Writing Guidance page.
3. E-renorting: EPA postponed the deadline for E-reporting to December 21, 2025. An in-house program
is in development for potential Pretreatment Annual Report (PAR) submission along with the other
required Pretreatment ICIS data elements due in 2025.
4. Municipal Permitting Reorganization: Pretreatment and -collection system have moved under the
Municipal Permitting Unit. Advantages of this is to combine the NPDES permit limit development
with the Headworks analysis, to jointly improve NPDES direct discharger and POTW/SIU disclosure
of emerging compounds, and to include Pretreatment staff input when reviewing limit violations at
POTWs.

ERP, HWA, IWS, LIMP and SUO. We are actively proceeding with hiring to replace the two

b. TBD: Broad, Cape Fear, Catawba, French Broad, Lumber, New, Tar -Pamlico.

workshops will be posted on the Training page once the dates are finalized.

historical SNC sheet(s), if applicable, and make necessary updates to any of the information presented.
Send the corrected sheets back with your PAR, due March 1, 2021, for calendar year 2020. If all of
the information was correct, please indicate that in your PAR. Especially note the due dates as this
may be the only reminder you get. Please note:
a. All pretreatment programs (full and modified) must submit a PPS form with their PAR per an
EPA requirement of the State.
b. Historical SNC sheets only list currently Active Sills that had SNCs from 2013-2019.
c. PAR forms are available for download on our websitc
8. Email Addresses: The Municipal Permitting Unit often uses email to send out mass mailings. To
make this an effective and cost saving tool, we ask that you keep the Municipal Unit updated on your
current email address as well as which staff member is the `primary" contact for your POTW - see
"prim" field next to staff names on Program Info sheet, and email field below names. For programs
with more staff than the printed sheet can show, a separate contacts page has been included. Please
make any staff changes on that sheet and return to the Municipal Unit with the PAR
As always, please contact your pretreatment staff member (as listed above) with any questions or
comnicnts.
