Wasteload Allocation Summary
(approach taken, correspondence with region, EPA, etc.)
Per staff report, McCain hospital has fulfilled their SOC requirements and has expanded their plant
to 0.2 MGD. Condition in the previous permit required that the facility tie-in other existing outfalls
(002-005) after plant expansion. Region should comment on completion of this requirement.
Based on limited data after expansion (as of 5/93), the facility appears to be in compliance with
most exisitng limits. The facility has had 1 Fecal violation and has not passed the tox requirement.
McCain was not given an NI-I3-N limit at the expansion to 0.2 MGD, but was required to perform
monthly toxicity testing. Monthly toxicity testing is recommended again due to continuing failures.
Instream data is difficult to evaluate since the facility has not been taking DO and temperature
readings at the same time. The DO data does not show any values below 5 mg/l. Some values
appear supersaturated, however.
The upcoming Lumber River Basinwide Strategy requires that existing facilities in 030751 be
renewed with their current limits. Since McCain's expansion has already taken place, exisiting
limits are recommended for this renewal.
Special Schedule Requirements and additional comments from Reviewers:

INSTREAM MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Upstream Location: at least 100 ft above discharge
Downstream Location: appx. 2.11 miles below discharge at SR 1214
Parameters: temperature, DO, Fecal coliform, conductivity
Special instream monitoring locations or monitoring frequencies:
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION & SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Adequacy of Existing Treatment
Has the facility demonstrated the ability to meet the proposed new limits with existing treatment
facilities? Yes No
If no, which parameters cannot be met?
Would a "phasing in" of the new limits be appropriate? Yes No
If yes, please provide a schedule (and basis for that schedule) with the regional
office recommendations:
If no, why not?
Special Instructions or Conditions
Wasteload sent to EPA? (Major) _N_ (Y or N)
(If yes, then attach schematic, toxics spreadsheet, copy of model, or, if not modeled, then old
assumptions that were made, and description of how it fits into basinwide plan)
Additional Information attached? _N (Y or N) If yes, explain with attachments.

Facility Name I'iCioG /Mc CAIN) uosp. Permit # OCOo35109- Pipe # Qo I
CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (MONTHLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay
Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality
is _67_% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform
monthly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be
performed within thirty days from the effective date of this permit. 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, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, North Carolina 27607
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 any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management 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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate
retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute
noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
