Footnotes:
1. Upstream = 100 feet upstream of discharge, Downstream = 300 feet downstream of discharge.
2. The daily average dissolved oxygen effluent concentration shall not be less than 6.0 mg/L.
3. For a given water sample, TN=TKN+NO +NO3-N, where TN is Total Nitrogen and TKN is Total Kjeldahl
Nitrogen.
4. TN load is the mass load of Total Nitrogen discharged in a given period of time [See Condition A. (2)].
5. The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

NC0060526
A. (2). CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN LOADS
1. The Permittee shall calculate monthly and annual TN Loads as follows:
(1) Monthly TN Load (lb/mo) = TN x TMF x 8.34
where:
TN = the average Total Nitrogen concentration (mg/L)
of the composite samples collected during the
month
TMF = the Total Monthly Flow of wastewater
discharged during the month (MG/mo)
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
(2) Annual TN Load (lb/yr) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN Loads for the calendar year
2. The Permittee shall report monthly Total Nitrogen results (mg/L and lb/mo) in the appropriate
discharge monitoring report for each month and shall report each year's annual results (lb/yr)
with the December report for that year.
A. (3.) TOTAL NITROGEN ALLOCATIONS
a. The following table lists the Total Nitrogen (TN) allocation(s) assigned to, acquired by, or
transferred to the Permittee in accordance with the Neuse River nutrient management rule (T15A
NCAC 02B .0234) and the status of each as of permit issuance. For compliance purposes, this
table does not supercede any TN limit(s) established elsewhere in this permit or in the NPDES
permit of a compliance association of which the Permittee is a Co-Permittee Member.

history of problems meeting effluent limits. Numerous BOD5, NH3-N and Fecal Coliform violations
are listed on the attached BIMS report for the period from March 2004 through October 2007. It should
be noted that following rehab work performed on the WWTP's aeration system, and solids removal
from bottom of aeration and contact tanks, during summer of 2006, the WWTP operated without any
limit violations for the months between July 2006 and July 2007. The limit violations started occurring
again in July, August, September, and November of 2007. The period of compliance demonstrates to
this writer, the WWTP can meet effluent limits if is well maintained, carefully operated, and if the
tenants do not introduce chemicals to the faciltiy that disrupt it's operation. There have been operational
problems resulting from tenants discharging wastewater other than domestic sewage in the system.

C EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: has the facility evaluated the non -discharge options available? Give
regional perspective for each option evaluated:
Spray Irrigation:
Connect to Regional Sewer System:
Subsurface:
Other Disposal Options:
2. Provide any additional narrative regarding your review of the application: Due to the compliance and
operational problems noted above, the system should be connected to Raleigh's collection system
once it is available. The 8000 gpd WWTP is currently receiving approximately 1300 gpd of
wastewater (average flow for 11-2006 through 10-2007). The small extended aeration can easily be
impacted by non -domestic water that impacts pH of the influent, that results in a high orgainic
loading or that is toxic to the WWTP's biological culture. The permittee needs to continue efforts to
educate tenants regarding what can or can not be discharged to the system. Additionally the WWTP
must be well maintained and carefully operated to help ensure it operates in compliance with the
permit until the collection system is connect to Raleigh.
3. List any items that you would like NPDES Unit to obtain through an additional information
request. Make sure that you provide a reason for each item:

Sludge Management Plan
for Pope Industrial Park WVVTP
NC0060526
Wake County
The sludge produced at Pope Industrial Park WWTP is generated
from the stabilization processes oc G rrin M,tipactivated sludge
aeration tanks at the facility. ���,sludge is transferred
from the bottom of each secondary clarifier' a sludge holding tank.
When the sludge in the tank is of sufficient volume and consistency, it
is removed.
The organization that conducts the sludge removal is Atlantic
Dewatering Services. The sludge goes through a dewatering process
in which the sludge is added to a polymer mixing system, allowing the
sludge to be thickened. The coagulative ability of the polymer allows
for additional separation of sludge and clear effluent or filtrate, which
is returned to the headworks of the wastewater treatment facility for
additional treatment.
The sludge and water separation occurs on -site and the residual
biosolids are then taken to McGill Environmental and ultimately
become compost.

Miscellaneous Comments
(DOH Itiglin
YES_ This is a SIMPLE EXPEDITED permit renewal (administrative
renewal with no changes, or only minor changes such as TRC, NH3,
name/ownership changes).
YES_ This is a MORE COMPLEX EXPEDITED permit renewal (includes
Special Conditions (such as EAA, Wastewater Management Plan),
Conventional WTP, 303(d) listed, toxicity testing, instream monitoring,
compliance concerns, phased limits). Basin Coordinator to make case -by -
case decision.
YES_ This permit CANNOT BE EXPEDITED for one of the following reasons:
• Major Facility (municipal/industrial)
• Minor Municipals with pretreatment program
• Minor Industrials subject to Fed Effluent Guidelines (lb/day limits for BOD, TSS, etc)
• Limits based on reasonable potential analysis (metals, GW remediation organics)
• Permitted flow > 0.5 MGD (requires full Fact Sheet)
• Permits determined by Basin Coordinator to be outside expedited process
