The following procedure has been implemented by DWQ: Total residual
chlorine (TRC) compliance level changed to 50 ug/1. Effective March 1, 2008, the
Division received EPA approval to allow a 50 ug/1 TRC compliance level. This change
is due to analytical difficulties with TRC measurements.. Facilities will still be required
to report actual results on their monthly discharge monitoring report (DMR) submittals,
but for compliance purposes, all TRC values below 50 ug/1 will be treated as zero. A
footnote regarding this has been added to the effluent page.
The following modifications in the draft remain in the final permit:
• Quarterly monitoring for beryllium, chromium, mercury, copper, silver, zinc
and dichlorobromomethane were added based on the results of the
reasonable potential analysis and Division procedures for toxicants. Please
note that mercury must be sampled using EPA Method 1631E (low level
mercury test).
• A special condition requiring that Rose Hill conduct a solids depth survey
and submit a solids removal plan was included in the permit.
• A special condition for Effluent Pollutant Scan was added to the permit
based on facility's status as a major discharger effective in 2009. Language
has been updated to note three scans must be completed during the permit
cycle,
• The treatment component, dechlorination, has been added to the supplement
to permit cover sheet.
• The number of sludge drying beds (five) has now been included.
• Language in the chronic toxicity testing requirement was updated.
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 a demand
is made, this permit shall be final and binding.
Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. 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, Coastal Area
Management Act, or any other Federal or Local governmental permits may be
required.

The monthly average effluent BODS and Total Suspended Residue concentrations shall not exceed 15% of the
respective influent value (85% removal).
-3 The daily average dissolved oxygen concentration shall not be less than 6.0 mg/L.
4. The Division shall consider all effluent total residual chlorine values reported below 50 µg/1 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/1.
5. See Special Condition A. (3).
6. The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units.
7. The permittee shall perform three Effluent Pollutant Scans during the term of this permit. (See Special Condition A. (5)
THERE SHALL BE NO DISCHARGE OF FLOATING SOLIDS OR VISIBLE FOAM IN OTHER THAN TRACE AMOUNTS
A.(2.) PERMIT RE -OPENER: TMDL IMPLEMENTATION
The Division may, upon written notification to the Permittee, re -open this Permit in order to
incorporate or modify effluent limitations, monitoring and reporting requirements, and other permit
conditions when it deems such action is necessary to implement TMDL(s) approved by the USEPA.
A.(3). 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, quarterly 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
January, April, July and October. 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. If reporting
pass/fail results using the parameter code TGP3B, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is sent to the below
address. If reporting Chronic Value results using the parameter code THP3B, DWQ Form AT-3
(original) is to be sent to the following address:

A.(3). CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY) (con't)
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 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, 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.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted on the DMR. and 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.
A.(4). Solids Depth Survey and Removal Plan
By March 1, 2013, the Permittee shall conduct a gridded solids depth survey in the oxidation ditch
versus its total depth. This information should be used to calculate the volume of accumulated solids
in comparison to the total ditch volume for determination as to how much treatment volume has been
lost to accumulated grit and solids. The Permittee shall submit the survey results and calculated data to
the Division's Surface Water Protection Section in the Wilmington Regional Office at 127 Cardinal
Drive Extension, Wilmington NC 28405.
A review of the submitted information will be conducted to determine if a reduction is needed. If it is
deemed that a reduction plan is necessary to ensure adequate and efficient treatment quality, then the
Permittee shall develop and implement such plan within 180 days of written notification by the
Wilmington Regional Office.
Permit NC0056863
A. (5.) Effluent Pollutant Scan
The Permittee shall perform a total of three (3) Effluent Pollutant Scans for all parameters listed below. One scan must be
performed in each of the following years: 2013, 2014, and 2015. Analytical methods shall be in accordance with 40 CFR
Part 136 and shall be sufficiently sensitive to determine whether parameters are present in concentrations greater than
applicable standards and criteria. Samples should be collected with one quarterly toxicity test each year, and must represent
seasonal variation [i.e. do not sample in the same quarter every year]. Unless otherwise indicated, metals shall be analyzed
as "total recoverable."

SUMMARY
The Town of Rose Hill operates a 0.45 MGD wastewater treatment facility that discharges into
Reedy Branch in the Cape Fear River Basin. The WWTP serves 1,430 people. In September
2010, the facility status of the Rose Hill WWTP was revised to be classified as a major facility.
This change was based on the facility being a publicly owned treatment work with a
pretreatment program. The modified pretreatment program for the Rose Hill facility began in
2009. The application and WiRO staff report indicate that a winery and a rendering plant send
wastewater to the facility. Although the rendering plant has had some violations, there have M w
not been any upsets at the treatment plant. It is recommended that this modified,
/1"_
pretreatment program be continued.
C•Z .2(
The Rose Hill WWTP discharges into a stream with an estimated 7Q10 flow of 0 cfs and an
estimated 30Q2 flow of 0 cfs. Based on the receiving stream flow, the Rose Hill WWTP will not pre._ A
be allowed to expand at this current discharge site. The facility requested speculative limits for
expansion in December 2011, and DWQ responded that an increase in flow would not be
allowed. It was recommended that Rose Hill review other options should as nondischarge or
relocation to a stream with a positive stream flow (Janu 3 2008 DWQ corre
Town).
Existing permit limits at 0.45 MGD:
BOD5=10 mg/1 (summer); 18 mg/1 (winter)

RECEIVING STREAM
The Rose Hill WWTP discharges into Reedy Branch, a class C Swamp stream. Stream flows at
the discharge point indicate that the summer 7Q10 is zero and 30Q2 is zero. Reedy Branch is
not listed on the 2010 NC 303 (d) list of impaired streams or the 2012 draft 303(d) list.
TOXICITY TESTING:
Current Requirements: At 0.45 MGD, Chronic Toxicity P/F at 90%; Testing in Jan Apr Jul Oct;
Since the last renewal in April 2007, the facility passed the tox test in July and October 2007.
There was one failure in January 2008. The failure was followed by two passes in February
and March 2008. Since April 2008, the facility has passed all fourteen (14) quarterly toxicity
tests.
Recommendation: renewal of quarterly chronic toxicity test at 90%.
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY:
There have been some compliance issues with this facility. There were several DO frequency
violations from July 2007 through April 2008 which appear to be corrected. There was an NH3
violation in April 2007; along with monthly average exceedances in April, July and August
2008, weekly average exceedances in April -June 2010 and August 2010. There were BOD5
violations in April 2008, June 2010, and August 2010. A review of compliance data also
showed problems with TRC, however these were not true exceedances because of the 50 ug/1
threshold. All recent values are within the 50 ug/1 threshold that DWQ designated in 2008
memo regarding TRC.
Between September 2008 and November 2010, DWQ enforcement cases against the Rose Hill
WWTP totaled approximately $4518.
INSTREAM MONITORING:
Parameters: Dissolved oxygen and temperature
Upstream: 100 feet above outfall
Downstream: at NCSR 1933 bridge
A review of instream DO monitored by Rose Hill show that in most instances the .downstream
DO values are always below 5 mg/ 1, even if the upstream values are above 5 mg/ 1. In the
summer months of May through August 2011, upstream DO values ranged between 1.99 - 3.14
mg/1, and downstream DOs ranged between 1.29 mg/1 - 3.04 mg/1. However in September
through December 2011 there were instances when upstream DOs ranged from 5.3 to 6.16
mg/1 but corresponding downstream DOs ranged from 1.29 - 3.33 mg/1. In the winter
months, it is assumed that instream DOs would be higher because of the lower instream
temperatures but this was not the case. In 2010 and 2009, nearly all upstream DOs were
above 6 mg/ 1, however nearly all downstream values were less than 4 mg/ 1.
Recommend the continuation of instream monitoring for temperature and DO.
REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS
A review of submitted priority pollutant scans was a limited dataset of only two samples for
selected parameters. Parameters with no detections were not evaluated for reasonable
potential.
Based on the reasonable potential analysis, and the results which indicated a reasonable
potential to exceed the water quality standard or action level standards, it is recommended that
the following parameters be monitored quarterly in the permit: Total copper, total zinc,
total silver, total beryllium, total chromium, total mercury and dichlorobromomethane.
It is recommended that copper, silver and zinc should monitor quarterly in conjunction with
the whole effluent toxicity test. In addition, because the pretreatment short term monitoring
program will not provide adequate data for evaluation at the next permit renewal, quarterly
monitoring for the metals was recommended.

PROPOSED CHANGES:
• The treatment component, dechlorination, has been added to the supplement to permit
cover sheet.
• The number of sludge drying beds (five) has now been included.
• The following procedure has been implemented by DWQ: Total residual chlorine (TRC)
compliance level changed to 50 ug/l. Effective March 1, 2008, the Division received
EPA approval to allow a 50 ug/1 TRC compliance level. This change is due to analytical
difficulties with TRC measurements. Facilities will still be required to report actual
results on their monthly discharge monitoring report (DMR) submittals, but for
compliance purposes, all TRC values below 50 ug/1 will be treated as zero. A footnote
regarding this change has been added to the effluent limitations page in the draft
permit.
• Quarterly monitoring for beryllium, chromium, mercury, copper, silver, zinc and
dichlorobromomethane is recommended based on the results of the reasonable potential
analysis and Division procedures for toxicants.

solids removal plan was included in the permit.

Dean/Jackie- I just signed this permit renewal. Per Jackie's Fact Sheet, looks like there might be some impact on
downstream DO in winter, although WWTP generally shows good BOD treatment and good DO levels in effluent at that
time. Might be worth a follow-up by Wilmington Region in winter, to recheck instream DO recordings relative to
effluent BOD/DO levels.

Replace condition with this as it should clear it up.
A.(4). Solids Depth Survey and Removal Plan
Within 180 days of the effective date of this permit, the Permittee shall conduct a gridded solids depth survey in
the oxidation ditch versus its total depth. This information should be used to calculate the volume of
accumulated solids in comparison to the total ditch volume for determination as to how much treatment volume
has been lost to accumulated grit & solids. The Permittee shall submit the survey results and calculated data to
the Division's Surface Water Protection Section in the Wilmington Regional Office at 127 Cardinal Drive
Extension, Wilmington NC 28405.
A review of the submitted information will be conducted to determine if a reduction is needed. If it is deemed
that a reduction plan is necessary to ensure adequate and efficient treatment quality, then the Permittee shall
develop and implement such plan within 180 days of written notification by the Wilmington Regional Office.

Per the comments below from Mr. Cavenaugh regarding the solids depth survey and removal plan. Since this
recommendation came from the Wilmington Regional Office, could you review the permit condition included in the
draft and then flesh out what the specific steps to this depth survey and removal plan that are required? I didn't

We have received the draft copy of our WWTP Permit. I do have a couple of comments regarding the draft.
First, could you give me some clarification on Solids Depth Survey and Removal Plan A.(4). Second, we
have a spry irrigation with the plant (WQ0020970); we irrigate from the dechlorination chamber. Should this
be added to the SUPPLEMENT TO PERMIT COVER SHEET?
Please contact me if you have questions concerning this matter.

Jackie,
Attached are last 2 inspection reports.
The facility is just now becoming a major due to a new pretreatment program. Thus I wonder if monitoring
should be increased for any standard parameter or anything new added. They now serve a winery (Duplin
Winery) and a rendering plant (Carolina By -Products) in addition to 2 poultry hatcheries that have been on
their system for years.
I would suggest we reduce effluent Temp to weekly or the most frequent of other items. The application did
not mention W0002O97O which is a minor conjunctive -use spray irrigation system/permit. They use a
contractor, Triple S, for sludge.
The facility address and lat/long for the Supplement have been updated in BIMS. The outfall lat/long is
accurate, but discharge point on map is a little off, it is on north side of the road.
Let me know if you have any questions.

10. NC0074446, Hilltop MHP WWTP (permit assigned to Bob 5.) — see region
WARO
1. NC0020575, Mount Olive WWTP (permit assigned to Jackie N.) — No action recommended.
However, the permit writer may want to follow-up with the region to ascertain any new
developments post the region's planned site inspection. The permit was modified years ago to
address the non-compliance issues. Currently, the town is in litigation with its consulting
engineering firm regarding the design & oversight of the construction project.
WIRO
1. NC0003344, Wallace Chicken Processing Plant (permit assigned to Jim M.) —This facility is under
a Judicial Order by Consent. Recommend referencing the JOC in the renewed permit.
2. NC0020346, Magnolia WWTP (permit assigned to Maureen S.) — No action recommended.
Compliance problems relate to plant design flaws and construction issues. For the most part,
issues have been resolved or a work -around established. Permit writer may want to follow-up
with the region.
3. NC0020702, Wallace WWTP (permit assigned to Ron 8.) — No action recommended. Past
compliance issues attributed to poor O&M by the old ORC. Facility is now operating under an
SOC and a new plant is under construction. Plant has I/1 issues that should be resolved with the
new plant.
4. NC0056863, Rose Hill WWTP (permit assigned to Jackie N.) — Special condition requesting a
solids depth survey and submittal of a plan for solids removal; follow-up with the region. Lack
of proper O&M (ex., solids volume maintenance and proper oversight of treatment
volume/detention in the oxidation ditch) is attributed to compliance issues. Because the facility
is classified as a major, need to consider increasing monitoring frequency and adding daily limit
requirements. Currently, influent monitoring is controlled by the effluent meter. Need a
special condition inserted in renewed permit that upon expansion or significant upgrade that
this issue is addressed.

Proposed NPDES Permitting Actions for Permit Renewals

From: Vanessa Manuel
Subject: Proposed NPDES Permitting Actions for 2011 Permit Renewals
Cape Fear River Basin
In January 2011, BIMS was queried to ascertain those permitted facilities in the Cape Fear Basin
exceeding a subjective compliance threshold (>_5 civil penalty assessments or n0 NOVs issued within
the last 3+ years). This resulted in the identification of 26 facilities for possible permitting actions. A list
of the facilities was routed to the 5 regional offices in the Cape Fear Basin for staff recommendations. A
summary of the recommendations are included below. Assigned permit writers should incorporate
recommended actions or conduct follow-ups with the regions and/or the appropriate ROC as necessary.

1. NC0001406, Erwin WWTP #2 (permit assigned to Jim M.) — No action recommended. Scheduled
to eliminate discharge via connection to the new North Harnett regional plant in a couple of
years.
2. NC0026671, Elizabethtown WWTP (permit assigned to Jim M.) — No action recommended.
Problems seem to be resolved.
3. NC0058548, Star WWTP (permit assigned to Jim M.) — No action recommended. Problems
caused by a lack of flow to the plant (loss of industry).
4. NC0061719, Woodlake Country Club WWTP (permit assigned to Maureen S.) — No permitting
action recommended. This is an older plant that does not have a clarifier. The operators would
like a small clarifier added to the treatment plant, but the owners will not make the purchase.
Region feels this would be a good candidate for an Administrative Order (Special Order without
Consent).
5. NC0064521, Erwin WWTP (permit assigned to Jim M.) — No permitting action recommended.
Major 1/1 work has been done at the plant. It is scheduled to close and tie in to the North
Harnett regional plant in the next few years. Region feels this would be a good candidate for an
Administrative Order (Special Order without Consent).
6. NC0072877, Newton Grove WWTP (permit assigned to Maureen S.) — No action recommended.
This is a well operated, 100% domestic plant. Good compliance during the past year.

The Headworks Analysis currently in house is a design HWA and was performed prior to the POTW receiving wastewater from significant
industrial users; therefore, we do not have documentation of the actual industrial flow. A site specific due date for the next HWA has not yet
been determined.

Revised Narrative
Rose Hill Wastewater Treatment Plant #1
Permit No. NC 0056863
Section B3 Narrative
General Information
Facility/System Name: Rose Hill Wastewater Treatment Plant
Responsible Entity: Town of Rose Hill
Person in Charge/Contact: Bobby W. Cavenaugh
Applicable Permit: NC 0056863
The treatment facility has a permitted flow 0.45 MGD which consists of influent
screw pumps, bar screen, oxidation ditch, three clarifiers, aerated sludge holding
tank, five sludge drying beds, chlorine disinfection basin and post aeration basin.
Influent enters by gravity to the head works of the plant. From this unit, flow is
conveyed by two screw pumps to a channel which consist of two bar screens.
Wastewater then flows to an oxidation ditch which provides secondary treatment
utilizing the activated sludge process. Oxidation ditch effluent flows in equal
proportion to three clarifiers acting in parallel. Flow from the clarifiers then travels
through piping to a chlorine contact chamber where disinfection is achieved by gas
chlorine injection. The effluent is then dechlorinated and discharged by gravity
outfall to Reedy Creek which is classified Class C — Swamp waters in the Cape Fear
River Basin.
Waste Activated sludge from the clarifiers flows to a wet well which is then pumped
into the aerobic digester or one of the five drying beds. Return activated sludge
gravity flows back to the head works and the process is repeated. The waste sludge is
periodically hauled from the plant site by a contractor to a permitted land disposal
site.

COVER LETTER
The Town of Rose Hill is requesting renewal of its NPDES Permit No. NC 0056863 based on the
documentation submitted with this letter.
The Town of Rose Hill WWTP owns and operates an advanced secondary WWTP. This plant is
permitted for 0.45 MGD discharge through a NPDES Permit. The current average flow at the
WWTP is 0.2468. The Town has two industrial users (IUPs) with a combined flow of 0.067
MGD.
The Town is currently in a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) — Wastewater Treatment
System Study for necessary upgrades and sanitary sewer rehabilitation. The study is consisting
of long term wastewater needs, identification and verification of the sewage system to determine
infiltration and inflow, establishment of sewage collection system improvements needed, and an
engineering alternatives analysis to determine the most cost effective means of meeting the
present and future wastewater needs for the Town.
The WWTP was upgraded from a Minor Permit to a Major Permit in January 2011. This
upgrade requires additional testing which could not be met for the NPDES Permit renewal due
August 1, 2011. Given the time frame to conduct and present true representation of the treatment
process at the plant, particular sections of the permit (Part D and Part E) could not be completed.
In a conversation with various regulatory agencies, it was determined that the Town could
submit follow-up test results. In a particular conversation on May 10, 2011; Jackie Nowell with
NCDENR stated that since we were upgraded in January 2011, we could complete Part E
(Toxicity; both species) in the second quarter and a Total Pollutant (Part D) in the third quarter
of 2011.
