See Special Condition A. (4) for instructions should the facility's permitted UV disinfection system fail and an alternate means of disinfection is required. 3. The daily average Dissolved Oxygen effluent concentration shall not be less than 5.0 mg/L. 4. The quarterly average for Total Phosphorus shall be the average of composite samples collected during each calendar quarter (January -March, April -June, July -September, October -December). 5. TN Load is the mass quantity of Total Nitrogen discharged in a given period of time. See Special Condition A. (2), Calculation of TN Loads. 6. For a given wastewater sample, TN = TKN + NO2-N + NO3-N, where TN is Total Nitrogen, TKN is Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, and NO3-N and NO2-N are Nitrate and Nitrite Nitrogen, respectively. 7. The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units (s.u.). There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. A. (2.) CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN LOADS a. The permittee shall calculate monthly and annual TN Loads as follows: i. Monthly TN Load (lb/month) = TN x TMF x 8.34 Where: TN = average TN concentration (mglL) of the composite samples collected during the month TMF = Total Monthly Row of wastewater discharged during the month (MG/month) 8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds ii. Annual TN Load (lb/year) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN Loads for the calendar year b. The permittee shall report monthly Total Nitrogen results (mg/L and lb/month) in the discharge monitoring report for that month and shall report each year's annual results (lb/year) in 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.

Transport Factor = 10% b. Any addition, deletion, or modification of the listed allocation(s) (other than to correct typographical errors) or any change in status of any of the listed allocations shall be considered a major modification of this permit and shall be subject to the public review process afforded such modifications under state and federal rules. Permit NC0049662 A. (4.) TEMPORARY MEANS OF DISINFECTION In the event that the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system should fail, under -perform, or otherwise be removed from effective service, the permittee or his agent should immediately inform the Surface Water Protection Section staff of the Raleigh Regional Office (919/791-4200) of this development and discuss temporary, alternate means for disinfection of the effluent. If chlorine compounds are used as temporary means of disinfection, the Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) concentration of the effluent must be monitored and reported on the Discharge Monitoring Report. Use of a disinfection system other than the permitted UV system during circumstances not deemed as emergency and/or temporary (replacement of lamps, lamp cleaning or maintenance, etc.) will be considered a violation of the terms of this permit.

DESCRIPTION OF FACILITIES AND WASTE(S) (renewals and modifications only) 1. Describe the existing treatment facility: Since the last pennit renewal, this WWTP has been expanded to 0.250 MGD. The current system is as follows: influent pump station, chemical phosphorus removal, flow equalization basin, dual 0.089 MGD extended aeration treatment plants, dual 0.036 MGD extended aeration treatment plants, four (not three as indicated in application) sludge holding tanks, post aeration, ultraviolet disinfection, flow meter, and standby power. The underground "effluent equalization" tank has not been used for years, and thus is not included in the description above. Rocks are present below the outfall pipe, but the facility does not really have cascade (step) aeration. Post aeration is provided by blower fed diffusers at the end of each package plant. 2. Are there appropriately certified ORCs for the facilities? ® Yes or ❑ No. Operator in Charge: Kathleen Hershman Certificate # 988341 (Available in BIMS or Certification Website) Back- Operator in Charge: Numerous operators @ EnviroLink, Inc Certificate # 3. Does the facility have operational or compliance problems? Please comment: The WWTP generally produces a high quality effluent. [Note the values listed in the Effluent Data section of the permit application are the current permit limits not a summary of the effluent monitoring data.] For the period from 9-2003 through 8-2007 there were four daily max fecal coliform limit violations, one monthly average NH3-N limit violation (Limit = 4 mg/1; Calculated value = 4.03 mg/1) and three violations of the quarterly TP limit. No limit violations have been reported in 2007 (through 8/2007). Summarize your BIMS review of monitoring data (Notice(s) of violation within the last permit cycle; Current enforcement action(s)): Each of the fecal coliform limit violations resulted in DWQ sending Aqua NC a NOV. The existing facilities are adequate to meet the effluent limits. TP violations are typically the result of not feeding enough of ferrous sulphate. Fecal coliform limit violations often indicate more frequent UV bulb cleaning is needed. As indicated above, no limit violations have been reported in 2007 (through 8/2007). To the best of my knowledge there are no enforcement actions related to this facility being prepared or pending. Are they currently under SOC, ❑ Currently under JOC, ❑ Currently under moratorium ❑? Have all compliance dates/conditions in the existing permit, SOC, JOC, etc. been complied with? ® Yes or (1 No. If no, please explain: 4.

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: To my knowledge an AAE was not submitted with the permit renewal application. The expiring permit did require completion of a wastewater management plan which my records indicate was submitted to the NPDES Unit. This system is not close to municipal sewer. 2. Provide any additional narrative regarding your review of the application: The WWTP generally produces a high quality effluent. It consisted of steel package WWTPs. The older package plants and EQ tank have had rust and corrosion damage over the years. The walk way grating over the EQ tank has been replaced in the last several years.
