Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO066516
Terrible Creek WWTP
Wake County
Dear Mr. Ellis:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. The Division received
comments regarding the draft permit from the US EPA and is issuing the permit with certain revisions. This permit is issued
pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North
Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
The following changes have been made to the permit as the result of comments received:
➢ The Supplement to Cover Page has been clarified to indicate that the Town must submit an acceptable Engineer's
Certification after each phase of construction in order to operate the facility at the expanded flow.
➢ Influent monitoring requirements for ammonia have been removed from conditions A. (1) - (4), Effluent Limitations
and Monitoring Requirements. These were included in the draft permit in error.
➢ Condition A. (8), PriorityPollutant Scan, has been revised to note that the analytical methods used for these tests
should be sufficiently sensitive to determine whether the parameters are present in concentrations greater than the
applicable standards and criteria. The Division using this same language in all other permits requiring the priority
pollutant analyses.
➢ The final permit also includes minor editorial changes and corrections.
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 except after notice to the Division of Water Quality. 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, the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area
Management Act, or any other federal or local governmental permit.
If you have any questions concerning the final permit or the requirements for your facility, please contact Mike Templeton at
[phone], extension 541, or at mike. templetringancmail.net.

i. Monthly TN Load (pounds/month) = TN x TMF x 8.34
where:
TN = the average Total Nitrogen concentration (mg/L) of the composite samples collected during the month
TMF = the Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the month (MG/month)
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
ii., Annual TN Load (pounds/year) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN Loads for the calendar year
b. The Permittee shall report monthly Total Nitrogen results (mg/L and pounds/month) in the discharge
monitoring report for that month and shall report each year's annual results (pounds/year) in the December
report for that year.
A. (6.) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TOTAL NITROGEN
a. Total Nitrogen (TN) allocations and TN Load limits for NPDES dischargers in the Neuse River basin are annual
limits and are applied for the calendar year.
b. For any given calendar year, the Permittee shall be in compliance with the annual TN Load limit in this Permit if:
i. the Permittee's annual TN Load is less than or equal to said limit, or
ii. the Permittee is a Co-Permittee Member of a compliance association.
C. The TN Load limit in this Permit (if any) may be modified as the result of allowable changes in the Permittee's TN
allocation.
i. Allowable changes include those resulting from purchase of TN allocation from the Wetlands Restoration Fund;
purchase, sale, trade, or lease of allocation between the Permittee and other dischargers; regionalization; and other
transactions approved by the Division.
ii. The Permittee may request a modification of the TN Load limit in this Permit to reflect allowable changes in its TN
allocation. Upon receipt of timely and proper application, the Division will modify the permit as appropriate and in
accordance with state and federal program requirements.
iii. Changes in TN limits become effective on January 1 of the year following permit modification. The Division must
receive application no later than August 31 for changes proposed for the following calendar year.
iv. Application shall be sent to:
NCDWQ / NPDES Unit
Attn: Neuse River Basin Coordinator
Mail Service Center

A. (7.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
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, u�r artery monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina
Ceriodapbnia 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 ofMarch, June, September and December. 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, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and
THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch 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.
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
follo-,v-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Marshall -
Per our conversation, here's a quick summary of our response to your
comments on the Benson and Fuquay-Varina draft permits.
Regarding Benson, NCO020389:
1. Antimony.- The receiving stream is a Class C-NSW water; that is,
it's not a designated drinking water source. Given that and the fact
that we have'the criterion but no standard for antimony, we do not
propose to add a limit at this time. The Town will monitor annually as
part of its PPA, and we will evaluate the need for a limit or increased
monitoring at permit renewal.
2. Mercury - We no longer need the footnote in the permit, as the Town
has already been notified in writing of the new Hg monitoring protocol.
We will remove the fact sheet's reference to the footnote.
Regarding Fuquay-Varina, NCO066516:
1. Human health standard for arsenic - Agree that we should be
documenting our consideration of human health standards in the fact
sheet, as we do with aquatic life -based standards. In this case, we only
have a single sample to work with, and it's a non -detect. The Town will
monitor annually as part of its PPA, and we will evaluate the need for a
limit or increased monitoring at permit renewal.
2. Penta - Agree that all analyses should be conducted using
"sufficiently sensitive" methods to evaluate RP. Boilerplate already
requires it, but we will consider mentioning it in the PPA condition as
well.
3. 1/2FAVs used in the RPA - Responded in a separate e-mail on 8/28.
I think that covers it. Let me know if I missed anything.

Re: Draft permit for Fuquay-Varina
Terrible Creek WWTP
NC00066516
I reviewed the draft permit for Fuquay-Varina Terrible Creek WWTP. The only things I noted
were:
The Engineer's certification of completion indicates the facility expanded to 1.0 MGD as of
September 4, 2001. Our computer tracking system still shows the facility at 0.5 MGD with
associated limits (especially for sampling frequency).
At our staff meeting this morning we had a good discussion about Engineers certifications and
the failure to properly submit them. This facility plans to eventually expand to 6.0 MGD. When
I read over item "SUPPLEMENT TO THE PERMIT COVER SHEET" I wondered if item 2
could be re -written at some point to read "After receiving an Authorization to Construct from the
Division of Water Quality for each phase of expansion, construct and upon submittal of a
completed Engineer's certification for the expansion operate a waste treatment facility with an
ultimate design...
This could, if worded and placed correctly, become a term of the permit and thereby enforceable
where the agency currently has little authority in the way of enforcement when it comes to
Engineer's certifications of completed expansions. NPDES may wish to refer to the
nondischarge condition regarding engineer's certifications.
The latitude and longitude for the facility as listed is off slightly but actually on the other side of
SR 2751 from the coordinates listed. A more accurate reading would be latitude 35° 36' 49"
and 780 43' 33" longitude.

Marshall -
I'm not sure about the status of the permit - I'll ask Charles to check on
whether it's a major or a minor. I would like to call the Permittee and
ask them about the pentachlorophenol, because often, those 625 compounds,
when detected, are laboratory contaminants. As for the issues with criteria,
I've asked Susan Wilson to provide me with an updated list - then I'll go
over the RPA again.
Mike can let you know about whether they are a member of LNBA or whether
I mis-stated that in the fact sheet.
The remainder of the comments are administrative, and I'm addressing them
so that whoever finalizes this permit knows to make the changes:
-TSR should -indeed be TSS
-There should be no influent monitoring for ammonia
-Zinc should be total zinc
-We do not specify whether they should measure temperature in deg
They almost always do it in deg. C but in any case, they mark it
DMRs. They are both easy to interpret.
Thanks for your comments,
Natalie

hope these are useful. will you be able to respond to these by Aug 27?
thanks Marshall
- I noticed that this permit is not listed as a major in PCS (yet). If
NC does want it to be a major, an email providing the facility name,
NPDES #, and design flow should be sent to Connie Kagey here, so we can
pass it on to HQ to change PCS.
- I noticed that the detection limit reported for pentachlorophenol in
the permit appl was over 8 times higher than what one should expect from
Method 625. Because the facility is discharging to a zero flow stream
and EPA's chronic aquatic life criterion is 15 ug/l based on an assumed
pH, the reported detection level of 30 ug/l,doesn't appear sufficiently
sensitive. However, this draft permit incorporates NC's standard
practice of requiring annual testing for this and other parameters. I
wanted to bring this to your attention, so that sufficiently sensitive
analytical methods are used for this monitoring.
- fyi, I can't figure out where some of the 1/2 FAV values on your RP
summary table come from. These include chromium, copper, and nickel.
I can see where lead and silver come from, but believe you're not using
updated criteria for these. Would be glad to discuss with you if you
have the time to walk me throught these.
- re arsenic, it's my understanding that NC adopted a human
health -based criterion of 10 ug/l in April 2003. The RP summary table
included with the fact sheet indicates that the aquatic life criterion
of 50 ug/1 is still being used. Shouldn't that be revised to reflect
the new 10 ug/l human health criterion?

- I have a simple/dumb question. The fact sheet says that the Town is a
Co-permittee'of the Nuese River Comp. Assn. If that is correct, why
isn't the Town specifically listed in Appendix A of the 12/30/02 Neuse
River'Comp. Assn. group permit?
- In Part A.1 and A.2 of the permit, shouldn't total suspended residue
be expressed as total suspended solids?
- am curious why influent monitoring of ammonia is being required.
should that be deleted?
- zinc should be expressed as "total" zinc.
- for temperature, should you also specify degrees C. or F.? You
probably have already told me that it's always reported as one or the
other.

BACKGROUND
The Terrible Creek WWTP is one of two plants serving the Town of Fuquay-Varina. Terrible
Creek WWTP currently has a permitted flow of 1.0 MGD after undergoing a recent expansion
from 0.5 MGD. The new plant is a Grade III Biological Plant achieving nutrient removal. Class
B sludge from the plant is land applied by contract. Because of the small number of SIUs served
by the plant (only two, comprising 5% of the total flow), the pretreatment monitoring program is
modified such that pretreatment monitoring only occurs on a quarterly basis. The Town will
continue to monitor in accordance with the established Short Term Monitoring Plan (STMP).
The Town submitted EPA Form 2A for renewal on November 1, 2002. Supplemental materials
provided in the application package indicate that the Town will soon be planning for a second
expansion to either 2.0 MGD or 2.5 MGD.
Instream Monitoring and Verification of Existing Conditions and DMR Data Review
This facility discharges to Terrible Creek (classified C-NSW) in subbasin 03-04-03. Although
Terrible Creek is not itself listed on the 303(d) list, the Neuse River estuary to which it drains is
on the 303(d) list for chlorophyll -a. As a result, the upstream waters of the Neuse River Basin
have been given the nutrient sensitive (NSW) additional classification and the Town of Fuquay-
Varina must adhere to the nutrient limitations set out by basin plans and the Nitrogen TMDL.
As a member of the Lower Neuse Basin Association (LNBA), Fuquay-Varina's instream data is
collected and submitted to the Division via the association. Instream data downstream of the
discharge (LNBA does not have a station upstream of the discharge) were analyzed using data
from the LNBA station J4980000, about 4 miles downstream of the Fuquay-Varina Terrible
Creek WWTP discharge in Middle Creek. Instream data for temperature, dissolved oxygen
(D.O.), conductivity, TSS, ammonia nitrogen, nitrate and nitrite, total kjeldahl nitrogen, total

nitrogen and total phosphorus are attached. Values seem to be appropriate for this river basin
and the temperatures are seasonally appropriate. Dissolved oxygen was plotted, and with the
exception of a few points, was consistently above 5.0 mg/L instream.
Effluent data from January 2001-March 2003 were reviewed. With the exception of toxicants
and conductivity, these data are summarized in the table below. Effluent conductivity averaged
461.2 umhos, and is compared to instream conductivity in a plot attached to this fact sheet.

Toxicants, in this case copper, lead and zinc, were submitted to a reasonable potential analysis.
The results are described in the Reasonable Potential Analysis section.
Correspondence
The Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted two site visits during the previous permit term
that included Compliance Evaluation Inspections (CEIs). These indicated a facility in
compliance with its effluent limits but needing to address inflow and infiltration (M) and grit
removal. A draft collection system permit was issued in September 2002; it is the expectation of
the Division that this permit will help Fuquay-Varina prioritize its I/I problems.
The facility had one violation of the monthly average BOD in February 2003. To date, no civil
penalties have been assessed during this permit term.
The expansion to 1.0 MGD was certified in November of 2001.
PERMITTING STRATEGY
Waste Load Allocation (WLA)
The Division prepared the last WLA in conjunction with the previous permit renewal. Flow,
BOD; TSS, ammonia nitrogen, dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, total residual chlorine, pH, total
phosphorus, total nitrogen and toxicity were limited. Monitoring requirements for conductivity,
temperature, copper, lead and zinc were also included in the previous permit. The previous and
current effluent limits were based on guidelines and water quality standards.
The Division has judged previous parameters and limits to be appropriate for renewal with some
exceptions. At the behest of US EPA Region 4, the Division has begun implementing weekly
average ammonia nitrogen limits in all municipal permits with existing monthly average
ammonia nitrogen limits. These limits are to be based on a 3:1 ratio with the monthly average
limits. This will give the Terrible Creek WWTP a summer weekly average ammonia limit of 6.0
mg/L and a winter weekly average limit of 12.0 mg/L at the current flow of 1 MGD. Above 1
MGD, the monthly average ammonia limits are 1 mg/L (summer) and 2 mg/L (winter). This
would result in weekly average limits of 3 mg/L (summer) and 6 mg/L (winter) for all flows
above 1 MGD.
Due to an EPA change in the application requirements for municipal Permittees, an annual
pollutant scan will be added as a special condition to this permit. This scan will allow the facility
to collect sufficient data for the next permit renewal.
The language and TN allocation for the Neuse River TMDL has also been updated (see Neuse
River TMDL section below).
Finally, some changes were made to the monitoring requirements for toxicants based on the
reasonable potential analysis (see Reasonable Potential Analysis section).
NPDES -00066516 Renewal
Pace 2

Neuse River TMDL
Water Quality Considerations
Nitrogen
The Environmental Management Commission adopted Nutrient Management Strategy rules in
December 1997, classifying the entire Neuse River Basin as Nutrient Sensitive Waters. The point
source rule (T15A NCAC 2B .0234) sets Total Nitrogen (TN) discharge limits for all point
source dischargers larger than 0.5 MGD.
The rule also allows dischargers to form a group compliance association and work together to
reduce nitrogen; this option allows the association members added flexibility in controlling
nitrogen discharges. At the same time, the association is subject to a group NPDES permit
ensuring that the association and its individual members are accountable if they exceed the
applicable nitrogen limits.
Under the rule, there are three types of TN limit in the Neuse:
1. the individual limits in the dischargers' individual permits,
2. the aggregate limit in an association's group NPDES permit, and
3. the individual allocations/limits for each Association member, also in that association
permit.
A discharger may be subject to the first type of limit, or to the second and third, but never to all
three at the same time. The discharger is first subject to the TN limit (if any) in its individual
NPDES permit. If becomes a co-Permittee to a compliance association's group NPDES permit, it
is then governed by the TN limits in that permit. If the association complies with its group TN
limit in a given year, all members are deemed to be in compliance with their individual
allocations/ limits in the group permit. If the association exceeds its limit, the members then
become subject to their individual allocations/ limits as well.
Regardless of which permit governs a TN discharge, allocations/ limits will likely change over
time as the dischargers purchase, sell, trade, lease, or otherwise transfer nitrogen allocations. The
Division will modify the affected permits as necessary to ensure that the limits are kept up to date
and reflect any such transactions.
Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements
The permit includes nutrient limits consistent with the Nutrient Management Strategy rule (T15A
NCAC 2B .0234).
Nitrogen
Under the new rule, the Town receives a TN Load limit of 67,580 lb./yr., a calendar year limit.
In addition, the Town is a member of the Neuse River Compliance Association at this time. So
long as it remains a co-Permittee member, it is deemed to be in compliance with the TN limit in
this permit (NCC000001), and its TN discharge is governed instead by the Association's group
NPDES permit, issued December 30, 2002 and effective January 1, 2003.
Phosphorus
The City's 2.0 mg/L Total Phosphorus limit is carried forward in the new permit.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
The Division conducted EPA -recommended analyses to determine the reasonable potential for
toxicants to be discharged by this facility, based on DMR data from January 2001-March 2003.
Fact Sheet
NPDES NCO066516 Renewal
Pau_*e

Calculations included parameters listed in the previous permit and pre-treatment documents to
include: arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, nickel, silver, selenium, copper and zinc.
The only parameter for which both detects and an indication of reasonable potential existed was
zinc. This parameter is already monitored through the existing permit at a frequency of monthly,
which will be carried over into this permit term. Copper and lead, also currently monitored
through the existing NPDES permit, will have be removed from the NPDES permit, but will
continued to be monitored through the pretreatment program, as well as the annual pollutant
scan.
Priority Pollutant Analysis
The only pollutant detected in this analysis was zinc, which is already monitored, in the current
permit (see Reasonable Potential Analysis).
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
In keeping with Division policies, the following will be incorporated into the permit:
• Updated Neuse Permitting language (including monitoring for total monthly
flow, TKN, NOZ N + NO3 N)
• Weekly average ammonia limits: 6.0 mg/L (summer) and 12.0 mg/L (winter)
for flow of 1 MGD; 3.0 mg/L (summer) and 6.0 mg/L (winter) for all other
flows.
• Annual pollutant scan
• Elimination of monitoring for copper and lead.
New Weekly Average and Daily Maximum limits are derived from the latest NC/EPA policies
considering'/2 FAVs and allowable concentrations based on reasonable potential.

Sludge Management Plan
The sludge produced by the treatment plant is stored in an aerobic digester, where it is further
stabilized and thickened. The thickened sludge is periodically removed for land application by a
contract sludge hauler.
The sludge is applied to permitted land application sites by the contract sludge hauler, EMA
Resources, Inc.
The sludge is Class B, as determined by 40 CFR 503.32 (b)(2) (density of fecal coliform), and 40 CFR
503.33 (b)(4) (specific oxygen uptake rate).
The sludge permit is WQ002ooi6. Permittee is the Town of Fuquay-Varina.
