Dear Mr. Berry:
Subject: Permit Correction
NC0077992
Ponzer WTP
Hyde County
In a recent phone call you brought to our attention that there were several typographic errors in your
NPDES permit, effect July 1, 2005. The errors that have been corrected are as follows:
> The permit contained a requirement for a WET limit rather than monitoring.
We have enclosed a new supplement page A(2) correcting this error. Please insert this page into your
existing permit and discard the old page.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. 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, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or
Local governmental permit that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Toya Fields at telephone number (919)
733-5083, extension 551.
Sincerely,
an W. Klimek, P.E.

Permit Number: NC0077992
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY MONITORING (QRTRLY)
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 90%. The permit
holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit
condition. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September and December.
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: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
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.
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.

Hi Toya, I have reviewed the following permits:
NC0006351 Chemical Specialties - Section A (2) does not contain the
new testing language concerning multiple concentration tests when a
failure occurs.
NC0077992 Ponzer WTP - Section A(1), footnote 3 lists the testing
months as Feb, May, Aug, Nov. These should be Mar, Jun, Sept, Dec.
NC0004286 Fieldcrest - No comments
NC0068233 Fairfield WTP - No comments
Thanks for forwarding them.
