David — the documents we discussed this morning are attached.
I've highlighted the TSS limits in each permit. As you can see, influent TSS monitoring has been
required since 2002.
You're correct that the 85% removal requirement for TSS was not in the 2006 permit. The notes in the
file don't explain why it was removed from the final permit issued that year.. As I mentioned,C85%
removal of TSS and BOD is required by 40 CFR 133.102; that requirement has to be in the permit. 3
I don't understand why BIMS [our permit & compliance database] hasn't generated any violations for
failure to monitor TSS at the influent. I've notified our IT people and they're looking into it.
I hope your recovery from back surgery goes smoothly.
Let me know if you have additional questions.

From: Hunkele, Dean
Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2011 10:50 AM
To: Scardina, Maureen
Cc: Gregson, Jim; Hennessy, John
Subject: RE: DRAFT Permit NC0025763 Kure Beach
Maureen,
David with Town called me to discuss Draft and was not too happy.
He asked how "we" can expect him/them to be compliant with a ug/L TRC limit right off the bat when we have no limit
now and no equipment or budgeted funds to de -chlorinate.
We can give the standard compliance schedule for TRC: limit will take effect 18 months after the permit effective
date
He asked about the requirement to measure TSS at influent as he has never had to going back to 1991 when the plant
went online. Based on BIMS, it has not been in permit going back to 1996 (version 1.0).
That's a bald -faced lie.
Influent & Effluent TSS monitoring has been in the permit [and in BIMSJ since 2002.
However, despite the monitoring requirement being in BIMS and the permit for nine years, the permittee has
NEVER reported Influent TSS data.
BIMS has not generated any violations. I've submitted a ticket to find out why.
Looking at it, I question the need to monitor influent for TSS or BOD given the simple nature of his "pond" system as not
much control to be had -- simple aeration followed by disinfection with no secondary clarifier(s) or separate, dedicated
polishing pond.
85% removal efficiency for BOD and TSS is required by 40 CFR Part 133.102 (b) (3). To establish removal
percentages. Influent data must be collected.
Please amend the system description of the lagoon/pond to: baffled 3-cell lagoon with aeration in cells 1&2.
Maureen will update the final permit with this description.
At best, I think we could argue that this is an enhanced "waste stabilization pond" and can apply the following:
§ 133.105 Treatment equivalent to secondary treatment.
This section describes the minimum level of effluent quality attainable by facilities eligible for treatment
equivalent to secondary treatment (§ 133.101(g)) in terms of the parameters—BOD5, SS and pH. All
requirements for the specified parameters in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this section shall be achieved except
as provided for in §133.103, or paragraphs (d), (e) or (f) of this section.
(a) BOD 5. (1) The 30-day average shall not exceed 45 mg/1.
(2) The 7-day average shall not exceed 65 mg/1.
(3) The 30-day average percent removal shall not be less than 65 percent.
aJ 2-3 l Phu-n c a-

(b) SS. Except where SS values have been adjusted in accordance with §133.103(c):
(1) The 30-day average shall not exceed 45 mg/1.
(2) The 7-day average shall not exceed 65 mg/l.
(3) The 30-day average percent removal shall not be less than 65 percent.
The appropriate citation is:
40 CFR Part 133.105 (d) — Alternative State Requirements
Except as limited by paragraph (f) of this section, and after notice and opportunity for public comment, the Regional
Administrator, or, if appropriate, State Director subject to EPA approval, is authorized to adjust the minimum levels
of effluent quality set forth in paragraphs (a)(1), (a)(2), (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this section for trickling filter facilities and
in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section for waste stabilization pond facilities, to conform to the BOD5and SS
effluent concentrations consistently achievable through proper operation and maintenance (§ 133.101(f)) by the
median (50th percentile) facility in a representative sample of facilities within a State or appropriate contiguous
geographical area that meet the definition of facilities eligible for treatment equivalent to secondary treatment
(§ 133.101(g)).
40 CFR 133.105 (f) — Permit adjustments
Any permit adjustment made pursuant to this part may not be any less stringent than the limitations required
pursuant to §133.105(a)—(e). Furthermore, permitting authorities shall require more stringent limitations when
adjusting permits if: (1) For existing facilities the permitting authority determines that the 30-day average and 7-
day average BOD5and SS effluent values that could be achievable through proper operation and maintenance of the
treatment works, based on an analysis of the past performance of the treatment works, would enable the treatment
works to achieve more stringent limitations. or
This facility has water quality -based effluent limits, more stringent than the Federal minimums.
When the "expansion" from 0.1 to 0.285 MGD was approved, the WIRO Supervisor said that BOD & TSS limits
similar to those in the Holly Ridge WWTP permit (NC0025895) could be met by Kure Beach WWTP.
I asked him if a sludge survey of the pond had ever been done and when — he indicated 6-8 years ago; thus appropriate
to require one during this next cycle and submit data with next renewal application in a Special Condition.
The staff report said "May want to consider" a special condition regarding sludge survey with no reason given. The
text above should have been provided then.
A special condition can be added to the final permit.
• I do see that Effluent Temp should be changed to Weekly to match pH or 2x/week at most.
No. Facility has VVQ-based limits. Temperature to be monitored Daily per 15A NCAC 02B.0508 (d).
✓�cf e'�c�
• They will need a compliance schedule to design, obtain an A-to-C, and install a Dechlorination system. They do
not even have a limit now and only measured in mg/L. We have given 18 months before to meet limit. Need to
tell them that testing/reporting in ug/L should begin within 60-90 days of issuance or effective date. Their use
of AquaShade in lagoon could cause interference with TRC testing.
Monitoring at µg/L will begin on permit effective date. Compliance schedule will be added.
• Quarterly sampling months need to be specified in this and all permits; just like for toxicity.
No. Specific months are given for tox testing per Tox program directives. Other parameters do not have this tr
ctJ
requirement to allow permittees some monitoring flexibility [and reduce erroneous violations].
2

• Need Special Condition requiring sludge depth survey/mapping be completed within 18 months of issuance
unless they can show that it is has been done in this last cycle. If done, then require another one by end of this
new cycle.

Sludge Management Plan
The Town of Kure Beach with the assistance of the North Carolina Rural Water
Association completed and in-depth Sludge Inspection Profile of our Wastewater lagoon
in late December of 2004 or early January 2005. We have planned to do another
inspection in 2010 or 2011. We have not completed the profile at this time but will do so
in 2011 and if the results show heavy accumulations then we will consult our engineers to
give us options on removal.

FACT SHEET FOR EXPEDITED PERMIT RENEWALS
This form must be completed by Permit Writers for all expedited permits which do not require
full Fact Sheets. Expedited permits are generally simple 100% domestics (e.g., schools, mobile
home parks, etc) that can be administratively renewed with minor changes, but can include
facilities with more complex issues (Special Conditions, 303(d) listed water, toxicity testing,
instream monitoring, compliance concerns).

Most Commonly Used Expedited Language:
• 303(d) language for Draft/Final Cover Letters: "Please note that the receiving stream
is listed as an impaired waterbody on the North Carolina 303(d) Impaired Waters List.
Addressing impaired waters is a high priority with the Division, and instream data will
continue to be evaluated. If there is noncompliance with permitted effluent limits and
stream impairment can be attributed to your facility, then mitigative measures may be
required".
• TRC language for Compliance Level for Cover Letters/Effluent Sheet Footnote:
"The facility shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC certified laboratory
including field certified. However, effluent values below 50 ug/1 will be treated as zero
for compliance purposes."
