Town of Ramseur WTP

Dear Mr. McIntosh:
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 October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended).
This final permit includes no significant changes from the draft permit sent to you on August 31, 2011;
however, its terms are significantly different from those found in the current permit. A summary of the
changes in this permit from the terms of the current permit is shown below. You should read the entire
permit carefully, in order to help you maintain compliance with its terms and conditions.
• The monitoring requirement for Settleable Solids has been removed from the permit.
• Monitoring for Turbidity has been changed from instream monitoring to monitoring of the effluent.
• Monitoring frequency for Turbidity and Total Residual Chlorine has been reduced from weekly to
twice per month.
• Monitoring requirements for Manganese, Fluoride, Copper, and pH have been added based upon
studies of discharges from conventional water treatment facilities.
• Whole Effluent Toxicity monitoring has been added to the permit. Please note that while the
result of the required test will be "pass" or "fail," at present this is a monitoring requirement
only, with no associated compliance limit.
• The monitoring frequency for most constituent parameters has been reduced to quarterly and should
be performed to coincide with whole effluent toxicity testing.

require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal

Footnotes:
1. The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 µg/L to be in compliance
with the permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values reported by
a North Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall below 50
µg•
2. Monitoring should be performed in conjunction with toxicity testing.
3. Ceriodaphnia dubia 7day pass/fail test @ 6% concentration. See Condition A. (2.) for toxicity
testing requirements. Toxicity testing should be performed during the months of January, April,
July and October, and sampling should coincide with sampling for parameters covered by footnote
2.
All samples must be collected from a typical discharge event.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

Permit NC0074454
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY MONITORING (QUARTERLY)
The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent
versions.
The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 6 %. The testing
shall be performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 7day pass/fail test. The tests will be performed during
the months of January, April, July and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be
performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no
later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. 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 Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then
monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test
requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
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.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT
Forms submitted.
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.

Permit NC0074454
A. (3.) PERMIT RE -OPENER: NUTRIENT MONITORING
Pursuant to N.C. General Statutes Section 143-215.1 and the implementing rules found in the North
Carolina Administrative Code at 15A NCAC 2H.0112 (b) (1) and 2H.0114 (a) and Part II sections B-
12 and B-13 of this permit, the Director may reopen this permit to require supplemental nutrient
monitoring of the discharge. The purpose of the additional monitoring will be to support water quality
modeling efforts within the Cape Fear River Basin and shall be consistent with a monitoring plan
developed jointly by the Division and affected stakeholders. In addition, the results of water quality
modeling may require that limits for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus be imposed in this permit
upon renewal.
