PO Box 21207 Greensboro, North Carolina 27420 Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0001384 Williamsburg Plant Caswell County Dear Mr. Fripp: 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). Please note that the receiving streams (Buttermilk Creek and Grays Branch) to which your facility discharges are classified "nutrient sensitive." Although the current permit requires monitoring of nutrients only, the Division of Water Quality (Division) reserves the right to reopen your permit at any time to impose nutrient limits on the effluent. You should also be aware of the potential discharge requirements for your facility as a result of House Bill 515. In 1997 the Clean Water Responsibility Act (House Bill 515) was enacted, with the intent to strengthen the control of nutrients from all discharges to NSW waters. Facilities permitted to discharge greater than 500,000 gallons per day, and any new or expanding facilities, will be subject to nutrient limitations for total nitrogen and total phosphorus according to House Bill 515 requirements. • Since modifications to treatment systems are expensive and time consuming, it is highly recommended that you begin planning for this possibility now if a future expansion is anticipated. Your facility has also recently received two Notices of Violations (NOVs) for failure to meet the permit requirements. Although you have not been required to implement any plant upgrades as per the December 1997 EAA performed for you facility, continued failure to comply with the NPDES permit requirements may result in forced implementation of the such upgrades. 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 demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. 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, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required. If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Natalie Sierra at telephone number (919) 733-5083, extension 551. Sincerely, Original Signed By David A. Goodrich Kerr T.

Non -contact cooling water from various parts of the plant is discharged through 002 and 003. Outfall 001 discharges domestic wastewater from the facility after treating it in a package plant system. In 1997, the facility was required to perform an Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) in order to assess the present value cost (PVC) of reducing the impact on the receiving streams, both of which are zero flow streams. After discussions with the Winston-Salem Regional Office (WSRO), it was agreed that the most feasible alternative, an upgrade to the existing treatment plant, would only be implemented if the facility began to have difficult meeting the limits specified by the NPDES permit. FILE REVIEW The renewal application describes the treatment works as follows: 001: Domestic waste treated through a package system consisting of a bar screen, aeration basin, sludge digestion, clarifier, tablet chlorination system (includes chlorine contact chamber), and step aeration. 002 and 003: Non -contact cooling water from boilers and compressors treated with sodium thiosulfate as needed. Effluent from 001 and 002 discharges to an unnamed tributary (UT) to Buttermilk Creek. Water form 003 is discharged to an UT to Grays Branch. Fact Sheet \PDES NC0001383 Renewal Page 1 DMR Review: DMRs dating from January 1998 to February 2001 were reviewed for all outfalls. Average monthly data for 001 is compiled in Table 1 below. Domestic flow from 001 averaged 0.0059 MGD with a maximum flow of 0.0095 MGD. This flow was less than that of the cooling water discharged through 002, which averaged 0.023 MGD and had a maximum value of 0.0284. Discharge from both 002 and 003 was usually consistent in volume from month to month. Average flow from 003 was 0.0046 with a maximum of 0.01036 MGD. TRC from 002 and 003 is always below detection level. Parameter Average Value Maximum Value Minimum Value Flow (MGD) 0.0059 0.0095 0.0035 Temperature (°C) 20.66 28.9 11.5 TRC (mg/L) 1.37 1.52 1.2 BOD (mg/L) 1.67 3.75 0.0 NH3-N (mg/L) 1.12 10.5 0.03 DO (mg/L) 3.01 11.8 0.33 Total Suspended Residue (mg/L) 7.30 8.8 6.0 Total Nitrogen (mg/L) 24.47 42.5 3.0 Total Phosphorus (mg/L) 6.88 24.4 2.43 Table 1 Summary of monthly average data for outfall 001. Data culled from DMRs dating from January 1998 to February 2001 Instream Data Review The impact of the domestic waste discharge from 001 is assessed through instream monitoring of temperature, DO, fecal conform and conductivity. Upstream/Downstream data for the upper tributary to Buttermilk Creek is summarized in Table 2. There was only one occasion on which the downstream DO value was lower than the instream DO standard. No flow was recorded upstream of the 002 discharge. Temperature data was recorded for flow upstream and downstream of 003. The average change in temperature between the upstream and downstream portions of the stream was 2.10C. Parameter Average Average Percent Change Upstream Downstream (D - U/D) * 100 Value Value Temperature ("C) 21.73 19.11 -13.71 Dissolved Oxygen 7.61 8.10 6.05 (mom-) Fecal Coliform 200.67 31.97 - 5.28 (#/100) Conductivity 953.13 714.34 - 33.42 Reasonable Potential Analysis: Reasonable Potential Analysis was not appropriate for any of the pollutants monitored through this permit. Correspondence Fact Sheet NPDES NC000I 384 Renewal Palle 2 4 Compliance Evaluation Inspections have been conducted annually from 1996- 2000. During this time, the facility received some NOVs for failure to report certain parameters as specified in the NPDES permit. The facility is otherwise reported as well operated and maintained. In 2000, the facility received two NOVs. The first, given in August of 2000, was assessed for violation of the permit monthly limits for ammonia nitrogen. A civil penalty of $1056 was paid. The second violation was assessed in October 2000 for violation of the ammonia nitrogen monthly limit and two failures to monitor BOD. The $1, 167 fine was paid. PERMITTING STRATEGY 1997 correspondence from the facility and recent discussions with the WSRO indicate that the facility will not yet be required to implement any of the upgrades specified by the 12/97 EAA. Waste Load Allocation (WLA). The last waste load allocation was performed in 1992. It indicates that the only positive flow measurement is the average flow - 0.075-cfs. BOD, ammonia nitrogen, DO, TSS, fecal coliform are all limited. Monitoring requirements are recommended for temperature, total phosphorus, total nitrogen and temperature. Zero Flow Policy As per NPDES policy, the facility was required to perform an EAA during the last permitting cycle. They were also given NH3-N limits of 2 mg/L for summer and 4 mg/L for winter. Unless the facility begins to violate the stream DO standard, more stringent BOD limits will not be implemented. The current limits on BOD and TSR are 30/30. Note: The permittee should be alerted via cover letter that failure to meet NPDES permit requirements will result in re -opening of the permit and action towards implementation of the findings of the EAA. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES A review of the instream data for the facility at the current monitoring locations indicates that the discharge may not have much impact in terms of oxygen consuming wastes. The impact of the effluent with respect to nutrient loading of the receiving stream is unclear. The receiving streams are likely to be impacted by non -point sources (the 2000 basin plan for the Cape Fear River Basin indicates that approximately 35% of nutrient loading in the basin is due to non -point sources). Although this discharge is small with average nutrient loadings to the receiving stream, we may wish to alert them to the fact that the receiving waters are NSW and in the future, limits may be imposed. Recent Division policy stipulates that for 100% domestic waste (not discharging to impaired waters), upstream and downstream conductivity and fecal coliform monitoring are unnecessary. Effluent conductivity monitoring may also be eliminated from the permit. Otherwise, no changes to the existing permit are proposed.

I have one correction ,one comment and two requests. 1) Correction: On the front page of the fact sheet (under file review) it should read step "aeration" and not step chlorination. 2) Comment: On page #2 of the fact sheet (under Instream Data Review for 001) you mention that "the discharge caused a violation of the instream DO standard." Based on my observations at the site, I would find it hard to agree with that. The #001 discharge is into a dry ditch and not a stream. The upstream flow comes from outfall #002 so the ditch is not really surface waters. In many cases the ORC has to sample pooled stagnant water at the downstream site for #001. The low DO's are more likely due to stagnant warm water than to oxygen depletion from the organic load, especially since the effluent BOD values are consistently <2.0. Now, to my soap box (just ask Dave G., he has heard it before). I was surprised to see that conductivity measurements (E,U,D) were required. I did not think we were requiring conductivity monitoring for 100% domestic flows. Especially, since this is only 0.025 MGD. Can this be deleted from the permit? Current laboratory rules now require that conductivity samples be performed in a laboratory and not with field instruments on site. This is approximately 12 samples per month that B.I. must pay for that are basically inconclusive. The same goes for fecal coliform U & D monitoring. Fecal coliform compliance is not an issue for this facility. The flow in the ditch is 100% effluent from outfall #001 and #002. The stream data for the year 2000 does not indicate any V// fecal coliform problems. Can this U & D fecal monitoring also be deleted? Thanks for your consideration. I this does not seem combative. It is just my opinion that the upstream and downstream data in this instance (and many others) is pretty much inconclusive and seldom useful. If the shoe was on the other foot and I was the permittee, I know I would not want to pay for this data. Thanks again, Mike.

Burlington industries submitted o revised Engineering Alternatives Analyses for the Williamsburg wastewater treatment plant. This report was prepared by Wojek Engineering Associates. On December 12, 1997 you had a telephone conversation with Donald Wojek regarding the conclusions of the report This letter has been prepared to document Burlington Indusfrlos proposed action plan. We propose continued discharge of effluent from outfall 001 without institution of an alternative discharge method or additional wastewater treatment. Cost estimates presen t :: c ;n the alternatives analyses demonstrate that the technically feasible methods of alternative discharge are not economically feasible. Data presented in the alternatives analyses and available on Discharge Monitoring Reports demonstrates that the existing discharge meets wurrent and proposed effluent limitations. We do not believe that additiot wastewater treatment and/or attentive disposal of existing wastewater is needed or technically justified. We propose additional treatment should only be required, if following imposition of new effluent limitations monitoring demonstrates that the existing treatment facilities cannot meet those limitations. The attached table is abstracted from the alternatives analyses_ This table presents alternative disposal methods and associated costs. As you requested, we have added an alternative that consists of upgrading the existing plant and discharge to the Haw River. We have COO shown the present value of operating the existing facility with a monitoring schedule of five days per week. • ,04/04/2001 14: 44 3367714630 DEC 15 '97 112 46AM E I ANNF .1 DIV OF WATER QUALITY COST OF ALTERNATIVE DISPOSAL.

Based on the attached Permit Fee Schedule there is no fee for the permit renewal. The treatment facility at the Williamsburg Plant treats domestic sanitary waste only. The Waste Activated Sludge from the on -site wastewater treatment plant is aerobically stabilized in a sludge holding basin. The sludge is then applied to agricultural land located on -site in accordance with Land Application of Sludge Permit No. WQ0005045 issued 9/27/96. Per my conversation with Charles Weaver of your office on 7/6/00, and the attached Notice of Intent, it is Burlington's understanding that the Division of Water Quality plans to extend the current NPDES permit expiration date by 4 months to 5/31/01.

The revised expiration -date schedule for Cape Fear River basin permits requires that the existing permits be extended. The facilities listed above have permit expiration dates in 2001 that will occur prior to the earliest allowable date for issuance of permit renewals in subbasin 30602. These permits will have their expiration dates extended by 4 months. No conditions in the existing permits will be changed or modified, This is an administrative change only, to better align permitting and Basinwide Planning operations within the Division of Water Quality. Therefore, on the basis of preliminary staff review of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina (and other lawful standards and regulations), the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission proposes to extend the duration of the NPDES permits listed above, subject to specific pollutant limitations and special conditions. INFORMATION: A copy of the existing NPDES permits and a map showing the location of each discharge is available by writing or calling: Ms.' Natalie Sierra NC DENR — DWQ - NPDES Unit 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone number: (919) 733-5083, extension 551 The existing permits are on file at the Division of Water Quality, Archdale Building, 512 North Salisbury Street (Room 925), Raleigh North Carolina.

RESOURCES Subject: NPDES Permit Modification Permit NC0001384 Williamsburg Plant Caswell County Dear Mr. Klein: The Division is beginning the cycle of permit renewals for the Cape Fear river basin. An examination of the Cape Fear basin plan and the NPDES permit schedule has revealed that the existing expiration dates in Cape Fear NPDES permits do not coincide with the revised permit expiration dates for the basin. This discrepancy could create unnecessary delays in the processing of over 200 permit renewals. Accordingly, the Division is changing the permit expiration dates for NPDES permits in the Cape Fear river basin. This permit modification changes the expiration date of the subject permit in subbasin 30602 to May 31, 2001. Please find enclosed the revised permit cover page. Insert the new cover page into your permit and discard the old page. All other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. This permit modification is issued under the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. In accordance with the modification of the permit expiration date, the new due date for your renewal application is December 2, 2000. Renewal application forms will be sent to you approximately 6-8 weeks in advance of the new due date or you may download the forms from the NPDES web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.html. You will need to download Short Form C. If you have already submitted a permit renewal form, there is no need to submit any other forms to the Division; the application will be processed during the renewal period for your subbasin. If any part of this permit modification 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 a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
