A. (1.) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS — FINAL
(Continued)
Footnotes:
1. Sample locations: Upstream at NCSR 1158, Downstream at NCSR 1505. Stream samples
shall be grab samples and shall be collected 3/Week during June - September and 1 /Week
during the remaining months of the year
2. The monthly average effluent BOD5 and Total Suspended Residue concentrations shall not
exceed 15% of the respective influent value (85% removal).
3. The daily average dissolved oxygen effluent concentration shall not be less than 6.0 mg/1.
4. Should Robersonville not be accepted into the Tar Pamlico Nutrient Trading Association, total
nitrogen shall be limited at 6 mg/1 (monthly average) and total phosphorus shall be limited at
1 mg/1 (monthly average); limits be required by June 30, 2001. See Nutrients Special
Condition A.(3).
5. Chronic Toxicity (Ceriodaphrtia dubia) P/F at 90%: February, May, August, and November [see
Special Condition A.(2)]. Toxicity monitoring shall coincide with any metals monitoring.
6. The quantitation limit for mercury shall be 0.2 µg/1 (0.2 ppb). Levels reported as "<0.2 14/1"
shall be considered zero for compliance purposes.

There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.
Robersonville WWTP
NPDES No. NC0026042

A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum. auarterly 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 February, May, August, and
November. 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: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch 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.
Robersonville WWTP
NPDES No. NC0026042

A. (3.) NUTRIENT SPECIAL CONDITION
Limits on total phosphorus and total nitrogen have not been included at this time because the
facility is proposing to become a member of the Tar Pamlico Nutrient Trading Association (the
Association), which is a nonpoint source trading option outlined in the Tar Pamlico NSW
Implementation Strategy Phase II, adopted December 8, 1994. If compliance with any element of
this strategy, or subsequent approved revisions to the strategy is not maintained, the Division
reserves the right to reopen this permit to include nutrient limits. If requirements other than
those listed in this NPDES permit are adopted as part of a future revision to the strategy, the
Division reserves the right to reopen this permit to include these requirements.
If the Town of Robersonville is not accepted as a member of the Association, limits for total
nitrogen and total phosphorus will be imposed as of June 30, 2001. The limits and monitoring
frequencies will be as follows:
Total Nitrogen = 6 mg/1
(based on a monthly average of weekly samples)
Total Phosphorus = 1 mg/1
(based on a monthly average of weekly samples)
Additionally, should the Town of Robersonville .expand and not be a member of the Association, the
facility will continue to be subject to limits for total phosphorus and total nitrogen, as well as
offsetting the additional nutrient load by funding nonpoint source control programs [ref. 15A
NCAC 2B .02291.

SUMMARY
Robersonville operates a 1.8 MGD wastewater treatment plant. In March 1999, Robersonville
received an Authorization to Construct permit for modifications to the existing treatment plant.
The modifications included the addition of a clarifier and anoxic/oxic zones for nutrient
removal, as well as other additions. It is unknown to this unit if those modifications have been
completed. Robersonville also planned to add a high strength waste pretreatment facility but
the Town has indicated that the proposed pretreatment facility will likely not be built (an ATC
was issued for this 7/99).
A speculative limits letter was provided to the Town in March 1999 for a flow of 2.4 MGD. The
Division notified the Town at that time that unless they became a member of the Tar Pam
Nutrient Trading Association, they would have to pay a large amount in order to receive any
additional permitted flow (to account for the increased nutrient loading). In December 1999
Robersonville requested membership in the Association. The Association has allowed
Robersonville to join with an upfront payment. The Association stated that Robersonville's
membership would be contingent on their concurrence with the Division's proposal for the
revised nutrient cap. The Division has not yet submitted a proposed revised Association
nutrient cap to the Association and it its likely that acceptance will not be made prior to permit
issuance. Therefore, this draft permit takes into account both conditions.
Per Planning Branch staff, comments were sent to Robersonville regarding the EA in March
1999 and no other information has been received from Robersonville and no FONSI has been
issued for the expansion (therefore, this permit is a renewal only
TOXICITY TESTING:
Current Requirement:Chronic P/F ® 90% (also recommended with renewal)
Robersonville has had some sporadic failures during the past 3 years.
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY: BASED ON THE PREVIOUS 2 YEARS
Robersonville appears to have been compliant with permitted limits (per computer printout),
with the exception of September 1999 (hurricane related). Some sampling was not performed
in October 1999 due to damaged equipment.

INSTREAM MONITORING:
Instream monitoring values indicate potential impact of the discharge on dissolved oxygen
levels (downstream levels were below upstream levels). DO levels during the summer months
were below 5 mg/1 (but this may be due to swamp -like conditions).
The 1999 Tar Pamlico Basin plan recommended that no new dischargers be allowed in Flat
Swamp due to limited assimilative capacity. This was taken into consideration when limits for
the proposed expansion for 2.4 MGD were developed. It was deemed that in 1994 the basin
reviewer assumed that assimilative capacity was limited due to the low DO values. However,
current thinking regarding swamp conditions acknowledges that the degree of assimilative
capacity into a swamp system may be difficult to assess. In addition, the expansion with the
proposed limits would actual provide a decrease in loading from current conditions. Therefore,
the Robersonville proposed expansion would be allowed (existing regional system) .
PROPOSED CHANGES:
Robersonville is required to monitor arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, fluoride, lead,
mercury, nickel, zinc, iron, selenium, and oil/grease via the NPDES permit. Other parameters
of concern are monitored due to the 503 rules. The facility has a modified pretreatment
program and has implemented an STMP. Because of the proposed high strength waste coming
into the plant, Robersonville will develop a LTMP with the expansion phase.
Copper and zinc were determined to have a reasonable potential to exceed the action level water
quality standards and will be required to be monitored 2/month (this requirement is also due
to sporadic toxicity failures). Because iron is an action level parameter and fairly ubiquitous,
only quarterly monitoring will be required (reported values were well above the action level
allowable) . Other parameters were not found to have a reasonable potential to exceed the water
quality standards.
Additionally, with the expansion phase, many of these parameters will be monitored via the
LTMP/ pretreatment program (elimination of the requirement from the permit does not mean
that these parameters will never be monitored again) .
A level of mercury above the detection level was reported, so a mercury limit has been imposed
in the permit. Robersonville will be notified that if less than DL are reported for a year, the
Town may request that the limit be removed.

NPDES Permit Application - Standard Form A
Town of Robersonville, North Carolina
NPDES Permit No. NC0026042
Response to Section 1, Part 6: Facility Description
Present Operating Status
The Robersonville WWTP currently operates a 4.50 mgd mechanical bar screen, a 4680 gpm
raw wastewater pump station consisting of three (3) submersible pumps, three (3) separate flow
measurement devices, and an activated sludge system consisting of a distribution box, two (2)
1.35 mgal. oxidation ditches, aeration system, five (5) 86,360 gal. secondary clarifiers, and a
1250 gpm return/waste sludge pump station. The filtration system consists of four (4) 180 sq. ft.
prefabricated steel gravity filters, with uniform dual media, filter underdrain system, wash troughs,
air wash, two (2) 1300 gpm backwash pumps, and four (4) 1050 gpm effluent pumps.
Disinfection is achieved by a chlorine handling and feed system and a 32,120 gal. chlorine contact
chamber. The 25,500 gal. post aeration facility operates fourteen (14) orbal disc type aerators. The
aerobic sludge digestion system consists of an aerated sludge digester and holding tank for a
combined volume of 541,500 gal. Thickened sludge is disposed of by land application.
Potential Facility Changes
Construction is currently taking place to upgrade the wastewater treatment plant. This upgrade
will consist of new anaerobic/anoxic basins consisting of four (4) 8600 cu.ft. anaerobic zones and
two (2) 18,600 cu.ft. anoxic zones, two (2) new internal recycle pump stations, modifications to
the existing clarifier splitter box, new 29,500 cu.ft. final clarifier, modifications to the existing
tertiary sand filters, new intermediate lift pump station, and a new 2050 cu.ft. chlorine contact
chamber.
Construction is soon to begin on a high strength wastewater receiving facility. This facility will
consist of a new 330 cu.ft. grit chamber, new 640,000 cu.ft. aeration basin, new 7000 cu.ft.
clarifier, new internal recycle pump station, new effluent pump station, new waste activated sludge
chamber, new 3,000,000 gal. aerobic sludge digester, and new decant pump station.
Schematics of Wastewater Flow
Schematics of wastewater flow through both the upgraded wastewater treatment plant and new
high strength wastewater receiving facility are attached.

NPDES Permit No. NC0026042
The Town digests and holds its sludge on -site in old aeration basins that were built as part of
an expansion in the 1970s. Digested sludge is land applied as a Class B sludge. Sludge application
is performed by the Town with a terrigator-type truck. A new 3,000,000 gallon aerobic sludge
digester/holding tank will be built by the Town. The application site is owned by the Town and is
located adjacent to the wastewater treatment plant. Traditionally this has been a successful
operation and the Town plans to continue with this practice.

Mark - Robersonville discharges into a swamp water, and knowing what I do
now, the model was probably inappropriately applied. I would agree with
giving them limits of 5/1.
The bigger concern for R'ville is nutrient limits. They do not belong to
the Tar -Pam Basin Association, and they will have to meet monthly average TP
of 1 mg/1 and monthly average TN of 6 mg/1. In addition, they will have to
pay for NPS controls. The formula to calculate the load is outlined in 2B
.0229.
Give me a buzz if questions.

Re: Tar Pamlico River Basin Association
Dear Mr. Green:
As per telephone conversations with Ron Elks with Greenville
Utilities Commission and Paul Blount with the City of Rocky
Mount, the Town of Robersonville is requesting membership in
the Tar Pamlico River Basin Association. Minutes of the Town
of Robersonville are enclosed to reflect our request. The
Town does realize that our membership in the association
depends on resolving the total nutrient cap limits issues
with the state and_ payment of $73,274.36 for past pro rata
expenses.
Also, be advised that following our expansion, our permit
flow will increase to 2.4 mgd. If other information is
needed, please advise.
Thank you,
