Interim Director
Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0003042
Roxboro WTP (PC-1)
Person County
The Division of Water Resources (the Division) hereby issues the attached NPDES permit for the subject
facility. 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 October 15, 2007, or as subsequently amended.
In response to your comments on the draft permit, please note following:
I. Unless <50 µgll is the practical quantitation limit (PQL) for your laboratory methodology, reporting
this value alone may not meet permit reporting requirements. The TRC footnote in your permit is
written for consistency throughout the NPDES program. This footnote does not change the analysis,
annual verification of the meter performance, or data reporting, but simply how the reported values
will be evaluated by the Division from a compliance standpoint. Facilities are required to report actual
results on their monthly DMR submittals, but for compliance purposes all TRC values below 50 µgtl
will be treated as zero (May 1, 2008 letter to NPDES Peimittees, Total Residual Chlorine 50 11g/1
Compliance Level). Additionally, NPDES Standard Conditions Part 11 Section D. (4.) requires the
following:
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce
minimum detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all
data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the
procedure. If no approved methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and
reporting levels below permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the
lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved method must be used.
2. In accordance with permitting strategy for Ion Exchange technology WTP and 15A NACA 2B .0505
(c)(3), composite sampling has been added for some parameters. Composite sampling is necessary to
evaluate toxicants found in IE regeneration. Discharges coincide with the conventional technology
such as filter backwash and decant waters, composite sampling is more representative than grab
sampling.
3. The toxicity page [Section A. (5.)] has been corrected to indicate January, April, July and October as
the sampling months.
4. Regardless of chemical usage with the conventional WTP technology, Zinc is a toxicant of concern for
IE technology. Zinc monitoring has been added to establish a baseline of data.
5. Lead, Zinc, Aluminum, Chloride, and Fluoride are all toxicants of concern for conventional and IE
technology. The phrase "Monitor & Report" has been inserted in the effluent page table to clarify that
these parameters have not received limits for this renewal.

6. The additional information request required that Total Hardness be sampled and reported for both the
effluent and upstream to complete our review for the permit renewal. Since we did not receive the
information requested within 60 days, a default value of 25 mg/1 was used to calculate Copper limits.
If hardness data was taken, please report this data on DMRs as is required by state and federal
regulations.
The Division understands that you have made a significant change in the addition of Ion Exchange (IE)
technology to your facility since the last permit renewal. We have made the following updates to your
previous permit:
1. The facility map has been updated.
2. Regulatory citations have been added.
3. Parameter codes have been added and/or updated to Section A. (1.).
4. Electronic reporting of discharge monitoring reports (eDMR) has been added in Section A. (6.).
5. In accordance with water treatment permitting strategy for conventional technology, flow
measurement has been changed to continuous recording including insertion of footnote 3. The City
will have until October 1.2019, 18 months from the effective date of the final permit, to install a
continuous recording flow meter. Until then instantaneous measurements can be taken with the
duration of discharge to be noted in log books and a total daily discharge reported on the DMR.
6. In accordance with water treatment permitting strategy for IE technology the following changes have
been for the pernut renewal:
a. The following effluent parameters have been added: Temperature, Salinity, Conductively,
Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Dissolved Solids (IDS), Turbidity, Total Chloride, Total
Lead, Total Zinc, Ammonia Nitrogen, Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP).
b. The monitoring frequency has been increased to weekly for the following effluent
parameters. Total Suspended Solids (TSS), pH and Total Residual Chlorine (TRC).
c. The monitoring frequency for the following added parameters is twice per month (2/month):
Temperature, Salinity, Conductively, DO, TDS and Turbidity.
d. The monitoring frequency for the following added parameters is monthly: Total Chloride,
Total Lead, Total Zinc and Ammonia Nitrogen.
e. The monitoring frequency for the following added parameters is quarterly: TN and TP
f. Composite sampling is required for the following effluent parameters: Salinity, Conductively,
TDS, TSS, Total Copper, Total Chloride, Total Lead, Total Zinc, Ammonia Nitrogen, TN
and TP and Whole Effluent Toxicity Monitoring (WET).
g. Instream grab sampling with a frequency of 2/month has been added for the following
parameters: Temperature, Salinity, Conductivity, pH and DO.
7. Total Iron and Total Manganese monitoring has been removed because the EPA approved removal of
these NC aquatic life standards as part of 2007-2016 Triennial review. Therefore, there are no limits
to compare monitoring data for these parameters
8. Turbidity has been changed to monitoring only because the stream is not impaired for Turbidity. The
footnote limiting turbidity has been removed for this permit renewal.
9. Zinc monitoring has been added because of the new IE technology, stream impairment for Zinc and to
evaluate the new water quality standard for dissolved metals.
10. The discharge elimination condition has been removed
11. Due to toxicity failure, a Discharge Alternatives Evaluation and a permit re -opener condition for
whole effluent toxicity has been added as described in Sections A. (3.) and A. (4.). The Discharge
Alternatives Evaluation along with the submission of the next permit renewal is due 6 months prior to
permit expiration on September 30, 2022.

12 The following Total Copper hmits have been applied for this permit renewal:
Parameter Outfall
Copper 001
Monthly Average Limit
7.88 µg/L
Daily Maximum Lurut
10.47 µg/L
13 A schedule of compliance [Section A. (2.)] has been added for the Total Copper limits in Section A. (1.).
Compliance with this lmut shall commence on April 1, 2022, approximately 48 months from the permit
effective date
14 Effluent and upstream quarterly monitoring for Total Hardness has been added. Please see discussion
below for more information.
The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Committee (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA subsequently approved
the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016 with some exceptions The NC Division of Water Resources NPDES
Permitting Unit is required to implement the new dissolved metal standards in all permits public noticed after
April 6, 2016.
The new standards for most metals include acute standards. Furthermore, the freshwater standards for several
metals are expressed as the dissolved form of the metals, and seven metals have hardness -dependent
equations. As a result, the NPDES Permitting Unit will need site -specific effluent hardness data and instream
hardness data, upstream of the discharge, for each facility monitoring these metals in order to calculate permit
limitations Effluent hardness and mstream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, has been added to
this permit at a monitoring frequency of quarterly. See Section A. (1.) Effluent Limitations and Monitoring
Requirements.
An additional information request was received by the City of Roxboro on July 18, 2017. To enable us to
complete our review in accordance with N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 and 15A NCAC 2H.0105, the additional or
revised information was requested to address the following comments:
1 Please provide five (5) days of Total Hardness (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)) data for the effluent at Outfall
001.
2. If flow is present in the receiving stream, please provide five (5) days of Total Hardness (CaCO3 or
(Ca + Mg)) data upstream from Outfall 001.
3. Review of our records indicates that there is no stream flow data documented for the receiving
stream. Please provide a 7Q10 and 30Q2 at the location of Outfall 001 [36.411944°,-79.001111 °], for
the unnamed tributary to UT to Marlowe Creek from the US Geological Survey:
No response was received within 60 calendar days [per 15A NCAC 2H.0I07(b)]. Therefore, the permit has
been renewed without the benefit of the requested additional information. Therefore, a default hardness of 25
mg/L and a 7Q 10 of zero was used to calculate effluent limits for Copper as indicated in the letter
Whole Effluent Toxicity test results submitted during the past three years have demonstrated that the Water
Treatment Plant's effluent is showing potential for causing aquatic toxicity in the receiving stream As a
result, the City of Roxboro shall perform a Discharge Alternatives Evaluation as described in Section A (4 )
of this permit. This evaluation is being requested to determine whether there are any economical and
technologically feasible alternatives available to the City of Roxboro to comply with all NC Water Quality
Standards The permittee will be given approximately one permit cycle to evaluate and document possible
treatment/discharge alternatives to eliminate aquatic toxicity The evaluation shall be submitted with the
permittee's next permit renewal application and will be carefully reviewed by the Division and the results will
be used in the development of a compliance schedule or possible variance request for the City of Roxboro.

A. (4.) DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES EVALUATION [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
The Permittee shall assess potential alternatives to eliminate Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) test failures. This
evaluation shall assess the feasibility of all the following alternatives•
1. Connect discharge to a W WTP: Determine whether the wastewater can be discharged to a wastewater
treatment plant. Approval or disapproval from the plant operator should be acquired
2.Obtain a Non -discharge uermit: Eliminate the surface water discharge by obtaining a non -discharge permit
for spray irrigation, infiltration, or subsurface disposal (on -site drainfield, infiltration
gallery, injection wells).
3. Install Wastewater Treatment: Install improved wastewater treatment to enable the facility effluent to
consistently pass the WET test. If this is not technically feasible or cost prohibitive, please
explain and provide estimated costs.
4. Use Alternative Water Treatment Source: Obtain drinking water from another source (nearest County, City,
or Town or other wells) so the discharge or toxicity problem is eliminated.
5. Use Alternative Water Treatment Method: Install alternative and/or innovative water treatment methods or
operational improvements that do not produce toxic wastewaters. For example, install a
recycle iron/manganese filtration system with no discharge or combine discharge with
W WTP or cooling water effluents
6. Discharge to a Larger waterbody/Perform a dilution model: Relocate the facility's discharge to a larger
receiving waterbody to eliminate or reduce toxic impacts to the receiving waterbody given
the increased dilution If applicable, perform a dilution model to receive allowance for
stream dilution in WET test.
7. Combination of Alternatives: Employ any combination of the alternatives listed above that would result in
eliminating or decreasing toxicity until a more feasible solution becomes available.
The evaluation shall include a present value of costs analysis for all technologically feasible options as outlined in
the Division's "Engineering Alternatives Analysis Guidance Document " This Document can be found at:
http://portal.ncdenr orWweb/wa/swp/ps/npdes/permrts
This evaluation is being requested to determine whether there are any economical and technologically feasible
alternatives available to the Permittee to address aquatic toxicity in the plant effluent. Based upon the evaluation,
please identify viable alternatives and present an implementation schedule and project timelme for the preferred
alternative The Permittee shall submit the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation to the Division along with the
submission of their next permit renewal application (due 6 months prior to permit expiration on September 30, 2022)

Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit No. NCO003O42
Roxboro WTP — PC-1
Person County
Dear Mr. Oakley:
Division (DWQ) personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject
permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. 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 October 15,
2007 (or as subsequently amended).
Your March 5, 2012 letter indicates the City of Roxboro is currently designing upgrades to your
facility, which will direct the existing WTP discharge to your existing WWTP. Construction for these
planned upgrades should start by the Spring of 2013. Because of these planned upgrades, you
requested that new monitoring requirements, contained in your draft permit, be postponed for three
years. These new monitoring requirements have been in place since October 2009.
After review of your application, the DWQ has made the following changes to your draft permit:
• Flow monitoring has been changed back to Cstantaneous.
• Zinc monitoring has been removed because no inc-Orthophosphate is used your treatment
system.
• Notification / reporting condition for Zinc added in 'Supplement to cover sheet" #3
• The downstream sampling site has been changed back to 100 feet.
• Special condition A.(3) has been added.

These are the only changes to the draft permit the DWQ has authorized because proposed
construction of your upgrades will not begin until spring 2013. 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 mitigation measures may be required.
The DWQ applauds and encourages your efforts to upgrade your facility and eliminate this point
source discharge. However, we cannot allow reduced monitoring during this two year proposed time
frame because of your discharge is to 303(d) Impaired waters, and the completion of the project is far
into the future.
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 demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
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 Bob Guerra at telephone number [phone] or email at

Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall below 50 ug/I.
4) Parameter should be monitored in conjunction with toxicity test.
5) See Part I, Condition A. (2.). Further studies may be required to determine the cause of toxicity, if any.
The collection of samples shall coincide with the sampling of other parameters.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts
All samples collected should be of a representative discharge.

Permit NC0003042
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY MONITORING (ANNUALLY)
The permittee shall conduct ug arterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina (Ceriodaphnia Dubia) Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or
subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 90%. The testing shall be
performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 7day pass/fail test. 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.
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.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & 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.

PART IV
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR MUNICIPAL FACILITIES
Section A. Definitions
In addition to the definitions in Part 11 of this permit, the following definitions apply to municipal facilities
Indirect Discharge or Industrial User
Any non -domestic source that discharges wastewater containing pollutants into a POTW regulated under section
307(b), (c) or (d) of the CWA. [40 CFR 403.3 (i) and 0) and 15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(11)]
Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Throueh
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization.
This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T
.0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government
organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges
to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW
treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of
POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)]
"Significant Industrial User" or "SIU"
An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [ 15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(33)1:
1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary,
noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Pennittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Pennittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this defmition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the
POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and
conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a
Significant Industrial User (SIU); or
6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a
non -significant categorical Industrial User.
Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs)
Version 111092011

DES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 15 of 18
All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]:

transport, which would be subject to section 301 or 306 of CWA if it were directly discharging those pollutants;
and
2. Any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants being introduced by an indirect discharger as
influent to that POTW at the time of issuance of the permit.
3. For purposes of this paragraph, adequate notice shall include information on (1) the quality and quantity of effluent
introduced into the POTW, and (2) any anticipated impact that may result from the change of the quantity or
quality of effluent to be discharged from the POTW.
Section C. Municipal Control of Pollutants from Industrial Users.
1. Effluent limitations are listed in Part 1 of this permit. Other pollutants attributable to inputs from Industrial Users
discharging to the POTW may be present in the Permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information
becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be revised to specify effluent
limitations for any or all of such other pollutants in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality
standards.
2. Prohibited Discharges
a. The Permittee shall develop and enforce their Pretreatment Program to implement the prohibition against the
introduction of pollutants or discharges into the waste treatment system or waste collection system which
cause or contribute to Pass Through or Interference as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .0900 and 40 CFR 403. [40

wastestreams with a closed cup flashpoint of less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 degrees Centigrade
using the test methods specified in 40 CFR 261.21;
(2) Pollutants which cause corrosive structural damage to the POTW, but in no case discharges with pH lower
than 5.0, unless the works is specifically designed to accommodate such discharges;
(3) Solid or viscous pollutants in amounts which cause obstruction to the flow in the POTW resulting in
Interference;
(4) Any pollutant, including oxygen demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.) released in a Discharge at a flow rate
and/or pollutant concentration which will cause Interference with the POTW;
(5) Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the POTW resulting in Interference, but in no
case heat in such quantities that the temperature at the POTW Treatment Plant exceeds 40°C (104°F)
unless the Division, upon request of the POTW, approves alternate temperature limits;
(6) Petroleum oil, non -biodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin in amounts that will cause
Interference or Pass Through;
(7) Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapors, or fumes within the POTW in a quantity that
may cause acute worker health and safety problems; or
(8) Any trucked or hauled pollutants, except at discharge points designated by the POTW.
c. The Permittee shall investigate the source of all discharges into the POTW, including slug loads and other
unusual discharges, which have the potential to adversely impact the Permittee's Pretreatment Program and/or
the operation of the POTW.
The Permittee shall report such discharges into the POTW to the Director or the appropriate Regional Office.
Any information shall be provided orally within 24 hours from the time the Pemmittee became aware of the
circumstances. A written submission shall also be provided within 5 days of the time the Permittee becomes
aware of the circumstances. The written submission shall contain a description of the discharge; the

In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems
having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at
intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour petiod that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 2¢hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.

The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122 2)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" for conventional and other non -toxicant parameters. NOTE: Pemtittees may not
submit a "daily average" calculation [for determining compliance with permit limits] for toxicants. Seethe relevant
Federal effluent guidehne[s] for the appropriate calculation interval.
Daily Samglin
Parameters requiting daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWO or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
I. Permit Issuing Authority: The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEM or "the Division" Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural
Resources.
3. EMC Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended,
33 USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge' is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by
adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number
of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided
by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic
mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by
the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the
permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If
only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum
daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding
the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the
tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.
G. Concentration Measurement
The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations
of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation
is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.

' Part II
Page 2 of 11
6. b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations
of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily
discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal
to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal
coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This
limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. If
only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the
"Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the
permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations
of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled
and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year
(arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is
identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved
oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one
dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average
concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.
The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is
identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through
June, July through September, and October through December.
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is
determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the
sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually
without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually
except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the
flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and
combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or

Part II
Page 3 of 11
8. a. (2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between
samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement
between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present
gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1 /24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than
once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour
except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases,
effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period which are
equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case
may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of
samples less than four (4) during a 24-hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes;
the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the
receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided
by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual
values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog
of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric
mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one 0).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its
respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
10. Calendar Day: A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day.
However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day
may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance: A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant: A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(l) of the Clean
Water Act.

which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not
mean economic loss caused by delays in production.

E
Part II
Page 7 of 11
4. b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but
only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the
provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(I) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior
notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the
anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II,
E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a permittee
for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,
retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This
condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of
reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of
equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse affects, if
the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions fisted above in Paragraph
d. m of this section.
S. se s
a. Definition: "Upset" means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable
control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational
error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance,
or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset: An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance
with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition
are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by
upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset: A permittee who wishes to establish the
affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or
other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part 11, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this permit.
d. Burden of proof: In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an
upset has the burden of proof.

RE: eDMR
The short answer is to continue doing what you're doing (continues recording daily).
i\jC0a>3 o`l- —
Persdo
The permit states that you have until October 1, 2019 to start continuous recordings, but since you're already doing it,
you should report it. The text on the eDMR should change to say "continuous" on October 111
Let me know if you have any questions, have a good weekend.

Jason I have not talked to you in a while. Hope you are okay. Question? On our paper NPDES Permit NC0003042 the
flow measurement frequency its reads Continuous on the flow but on the eDMR it reads 2x month, also on the flow
sample type it reads Recording but on the eDMR it reads Instantaneous? Witch do you want me to go by? We have a
Continuous reading because we do have our flow meter. I have been putting a flow reading for each day not just 2x
month. Is this okay?

Re: Notice of Violation NOV-2018-LV-0682
Permit Number NC0003042 — Roxboro WTP
Dear Mr. Smith, 71--V Id J �N ,
This letter is in response to the NOV sent on September 28, 2018 for the
Incident identified in the July 2018 Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs). As you
are aware, on 7/17/2018 the testing revealed a reported value of 59 with a limit
value of 45 for the Daily Maximum Total Suspended Solids Concentration
(C0530) on the Effluent sample.
When Arnold Oakley, ORC, was notified on 7/18/2018 that the sample
was over the daily limit he called Vanessa Manuel within the required 24 hrs on
7/19/2018 and notified her of the exceedance. Vanessa told Arnold to send her
an email to explain what happened and to put comments on the DMR. Arnold
emailed Vanessa on 7/20/2018 with the explanation and the email is attached.
Further examination of the waste lagoon revealed that occasionally there
are sludge particles that can become buoyant and one of these particles may
have worked its way to the effluent gate. To address this issue, the City has
purchased a floating turbidity curtain and installed it. We anticipate that the
turbidity curtain will stop any floating solids going from moving toward the effluent
gate.
The City of Roxboro strives to provide its citizens with a safe and reliable
treatment system and will work with your office in any way to provide the best
customer service to our citizens. Please feel free to call our office at (336) 599-
5658, if you have any questions regarding these or any other reports.

Good afternoon Rick,
As I explained during our phone conversation from earlier today, our City of Roxboro WWTP experienced a power outage
yesterday afternoon at approximately 5:05pm when a tractor trailer delivering materials to the POTW struck and took
down the power pole feeding the plant. The plant operator on duty immediately called me and let me know that our
600kw generator did not start when we lost power. I in turn called our maintenance mechanic who met me at the plant
at approximately 5:30 pm where we assessed the situation and the generator was jump started. At 6:15 pm power was
restored to all equipment via generator and continued to operate that way until approx. 10:34pm when our Duke Energy
power was restored. Our generator was load tested on 10/9/18 and worked as it should during a brief weather related
outage (Hurricane Michael) on 10/11/18. New batteries were ordered today (12/5/18) and will be installed tomorrow, a
new 24volt charger / maintainer will be ordered ASAP.
If you have questions or concerns please email or call at 336-599-8232.
Sincerely,
Derek Clayton
WWTP Supt.

Derrick Clayton from Roxboro WWTP called and reported that a truck hit a utility pole knocking out power to the plant
on 12/4/18. Batteries in the back-up generator were dead and the generator did not start. The plant was without power
from 1708-1815 when staff arrived and started the generator. The plant had their power restored at 2230 of the same
day.
No issues were noted during the time the plant was without power and Mr. Clayton did not anticipate any issues.
Batteries in the generator are going to be replaced along with the battery tender.

Hi Meredith,
I received a call from Arnold Oakley last week and two this week concerning some data issues at the Roxboro WTP,
permit NC0003042. He said he left you a voicemail today as well.
On 11/4 he let me know that their flow meter to record effluent discharge was not recording the correct values. He
called the manufacturer and the installers to come out and fix the problem, because the equipment had been calibrated
properly.
On 11/7 he called me again and said the installers were supposed to come out and fix the flow meter on 11/8.
On 11/9, Arnold reported that he just realized TSS was over their limit on October 2011, but was fine again on the 21".
He's not had this problem before or since, so he can't explain the spike.
If you'd like to reach him, his contact office phone is 336-599-2785.
I will include this info in their file.
Thanks,
Laura

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Roxboro Water Treatment Plant (Middle Creek)
NPDES Permit No. NC0003042
Person County
Dear Mr. Oakley:
On January 24, 2018, Jason Robinson of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a compliance
evaluation inspection of the subject facility. The assistance provided by Mr. Arnold Oakley, Operator
in Responsible Charge (ORC) was appreciated. The inspection report is attached. The following
observations were made:
1. The facility discharged approximately.35 MGD for the 2017 calendar year into an unnamed
tributary to Marlow Creek a class-C water in the Roanoke River Basin. The current permit
expires on March 31, 2017. A renewal application was received by our Permitting Section on
October 3, 2016.
The plant is classified as a Grade I Physical and Chemical (PC-1) wastewater facility. Mr.
Arnold Oakley, the Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) has a PC-1 certification. Annie
Hutchins is the backup Operator in Responsible Charge (bORC) and Roxboro W WTP Lab
Supervisor, and also has a PC-1 certification. Daily operation log books are kept on -site going
back at least three years.
The Roxboro W WTP, which is down the road from the WTP, analyzes field parameters such
as pH, TRC and pH (certification #191). Meritech commercial lab analyzes for Copper and
Pace Analytical commercial lab does toxicity analysis. Lab results, chain -of -custody forms,
and DMRS were complete and organized and are kept for at least five years. October DMR
data was compared to lab bench sheets; no data transcription errors were noted. Sample
storage we kept at approximately 5° C. The facility does not add zinc or backwash with water
containing Zinc. Sodium Hypochlorite is usci, to clean the resin in the ion exchange system.
4. The treatment plant consists of the following units:
n Lower Lagoon
• Two Upper Lagoons
• Pump Station
• Two Sludge Drying Beds

• Fletero
• E ent Pipe
M
Backwash from the wastewater treatment plant, including from an Ion Exchange System, flows
via a gravity line to the lower lagoon. A pump station is located at the lower lagoon that can
pump to the two higher lagoons. Sludge settles and is moved from the higher lagoons into the
two drying beds. The water then flows back from the upper lagoons to the lower lagoon. The
lower lagoon is pumped out and cleaned approximately every three months. Water is
discharged from the lower lagoon to the discharge pipe through two gate valves. A flow meter
is present in a manhole on the effluent line before the effluent discharge to the unnamed
tributary of Marlowe Creek. Grab samples are taken at the discharge pipe. Composite samples
are not required in the permit. Upstream and downstream samples are taken in the unnamed
tributary for Turbidity.
5. The right of way to the outfall was properly maintained. The effluent appeared clear and free
of solids. There were no visible detrimental impacts to the receiving stream.
6. The facility has been compliant with the limits and monitoring requirements in the permit for
the last year.
This facility was found to be compliant with NPDES permit conditions as a result of this inspection.
If you have any questions regarding the attached reports or any of the findings, please contact Jason
Robinson at: [phone] (or email: Jason.t.robinsonna cn denr.gov).

The Division has reviewed your application, received on October 3, 2016, for renewal of NPDES permit
NC0003042. To enable us complete our review in accordance with N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 and 15A NCAC
211.0105, please provide additional or revised information to address the following comments:
1. Please provide five (5) days of Total Hardness (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)) data for the effluent at
Outfall 001.
2. If flow is present in the receiving stream, please provide five (5) days of Total Hardness (CaCO3 or
(Ca + Mg)) data upstream from Outfall 001.
3. Review of our records indicates that there is no stream flow data documented for the receiving
stream. Please provide a 7Q10 and 30Q2 at the location of Outfall 001 [36.411944°,-79.001111

The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Committee (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA subsequently
approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016 with some exceptions. The NC Division of Water
Resources is required to implement the new dissolved metal standards in all permits public noticed after
April 6, 2016.
The new standards for most metals include acute standards. Furthermore, the freshwater standards for
several metals are expressed as the dissolved form of the metals, and seven metals have hardness -
dependent equations. As a result, the Division will need site -specific effluent hardness data and instream

hardness data, upstream of the discharge, for each facility monitoring these metals in order to calculate
permit limitations. The metal of concern for this permit renewal is Copper.
To evaluate dissolved Copper, a Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) was conducted using data from
DMRs (Feb2015—May2017). Please see the attached RPA spreadsheets for Outfal1001. Results indicated
a reasonable potential to exceed the new dissolved metal standard for Copper. Consequently, the
following daily maximum limits (acute standard) and monthly average limits (chronic standard) for Total
Copper could be applied for this permit renewal:
Parameter
Outfall
Monthly Averaee Limit
Daily Maximum Limit
Copper
001
7.88 µg/L
10.47 µg/L
To calculate these limits a default hardness of 25 mg/L was entered for both the effluent and upstream
values. Additionally, a 7Q10 of zero was used for this calculation. For a summary of this information,
please see the attached "Dissolved to Total Metal Calculator". Incidentally, the additional information
requested will be used in a recalculation for the draft permit.
If no response is received within 60 calendar days [per 15A NCAC 2H.0107(b)], the permit will be
renewed without the benefit of the requested additional information. Therefore, a default hardness of 25
mg/L and a 7Q 10 of zero will be used to calculate effluent limits for Copper as indicated.
If you have any questions, please contact Derek Denard at 919-807-6307 or email at

Dear Mr. Smith,

CENTRAL FILES
DWR SECTION
This letter is in response to the NOV sent on April 24, 2017 for the monitoring
violation of Total Suspended Solids on the June 2016 Discharge Monitoring
Report (DMR).
The 2 Total Suspended Solids samples for the month of June 2016 were
collected by Arnold Oakley and were tested by the Waste Water Treatment Plant
Lab. When Arnold Oakley filled out the DMR he failed to record the results.
Arnold Oakley amended the June 2016 Discharge Monitoring today (April 28,
2017) and certified the report so Thomas S. Warren Jr. can approve and submit
the report.
Arnold Oakley will start using the Validate Report function to try to catch any
future errors.
The City of Roxboro strives to provide its citizens with a safe and reliable
treatment system and will work with your office in anyway to provide the best
customer service to our citizens. Please feel free to call our office at (336) 599-
5658, if you have any questions regarding these or any other reports.

Permit Number NC0003042 — Roxboro WTP
Dear Mr. Smith,
��•�JE
FEt3 1 0 2011
NC DENR Raleigh Regional 0000
This letter is in response to the NOV sent on January 23, 2017 for the incidents
identified in the August and October 2016 Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs).
As you are aware, the testing revealed high concentrations of these parameters
that were due to unforeseen problems and remedial action was taken
immediately.
The Total Residual Chlorine Daily Maximum was exceeded on 8/22/2016,
because Arnold Oakley (ORC) found that the de -chlorination (De-Chlor) pump
was not pumping adequately due to algae growth in the De-Chlor storage tank.
Previous checks on the pump were showing appropriate feedrates. The De-Chlor
pump was cleaned and the De-Chlor storage tank was washed out and the pump
feed rate problem was resolved. When the ORC found out the results on
8/22/2016 he called Lorin Roberson, the DENR contact, on the same day and left
a message that the chlorine sample was exceeded.
The Total Suspended Solids Concentration Daily Maximum was exceeded on
10/20/2016, because there was a sludge valve leaking on the automatic sludge
removal system on number 1 settling basin at the water plant. The leak was
found after investigating the reason for the high Total Suspended Solids. The
leaking sludge valve was turned off and repaired. When the ORC received the
results on 11/8/2016 while preparing his DMRs he called Lorin Roberson, the
DENR contact, on the same day.
105 S. Lamar Street - P.O. Box 128 - ROXBORO, NORTHCAROLINA - (336-599-3116) - w .cityofroxboro.com

The Water Treatment Plant Superintendent has prepared a Standard Operating
Procedure (SOP) to do more process monitoring at the waste lagoon, in order to
more quickly respond to unforeseen issues. The SOP is attached to this letter.
The City of Roxboro strives to provide its citizens with a safe and reliable
treatment system and will work with your office in anyway to provide the best
customer service to our citizens. Please feel free to call our office at (336) 599-
5658, if you have any questions regarding these or any other reports.
Yours truly,

Sludge Waste Lagoon
Process Monitoring SOP
January 26, 2017
Purpose:
The in house process monitoring is used to monitor wastewater in the
lagoon to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Water
Treatment Plant wastewater discharge permit. The additional monitoring
samples would not be compliance samples at the discharge point.
Samples will be collected before being discharged from the waste lagoon.
Sample Collection
Total Suspended Solids
Collect weekly non-compliance samples for Total Suspended Solids at the
waste lagoon before the discharge point.
Coordinate with the Roxboro Wastewater Treatment Plant to have sample
analyzed.
Call the Lab the next day for the results for compliance and non-
compliance samples.
Total Residual Chlorine
Collect weekly non-compliance Total Residual Chlorine samples at the
waste lagoon before the discharge point. The samples will be tested the
same day as sample is collected.

Subject: Roxboro WWTP October data issues
Hi Meredith,
I received a call from Arnold Oakley last week and two this week concerning some data issues at the Roxboro WTP,
permit NC0003042. He said he left you a voicemail today as well.
On 11/4 he let me know that their flow meter to record effluent discharge was not recording the correct values. He
called the manufacturer and the installers to come out and fix the problem, because the equipment had been calibrated
properly.
On 11/7 he called me again and said the installers were supposed to come out and fix the flow meter on 11/8.
On 11/9, Arnold reported that he just realized TSS was over their limit on October 2V', but was fine again on the 21n.
He's not had this'problem before or since, so he can't explain the spike.
If you'd like to reach him, his contact office phone is 336-599-2785.
I will include this info in their file.
Thanks,
Laura

The wastewater is treated by retaining it in a decant lagoon. The solids settle out and the
clear water is discharged to the stream. The settled solids are pumped out to 1 of 2
additional decant lagoons. Clear water from these 2 lagoons is returned to the first lagoon
in the system. The concentrated solids in the 2 additional lagoons is released into 2 solar
drying beds and any clearwater is returned to the first lagoon in the system. The
wastewater is from the settling basins, filter backwash, and filter to waste. Also the MIEX
treatment has organic waste and salt brine waste.

Re: NPDES Compliance Inspection
No. NC0003042
Roxboro Water Treatment Plant — Class PC
Person County
Dear Mr. Smith,
This letter is in response to the Compliance Inspection Report dated January 9,
2015 that was sent to us from your office. We have reviewed the inspection
report from December 8, 2014 and the letter from January 9, 2015 and we
appreciate your interest in our new Ion Exchange System.
As you are most likely aware the City of Roxboro was required by the Division of
Public Water Supply to remove THHM's and HAAA's from the drinking water and
the Ion Exchange Fystem was the most viable option. The Ion Exchange System
is designed to remove Total Organic Carbon without the use of additional
chemicals and to reduce our sludge and wastewater volumes. The system is
operational, but not optimized to its final configuration. As anticipated the system
has reduced chemical feed of coagulant, however, the Flow monitoring
components have yet to be installed. The WTP Superintendent, Sammy
Yarboro, has been directed to get quotes from instrumentation contractors to
install flow -monitoring equipment that we may get a better handle on the actual
discharge from the lagoon.
Firstly, in your letter you stated that the Ion Exchange System discharge
characteristics are different than what is permitted under Section E of the
Standard Conditions. The Ion Exchange System does not discharge. The ion
exchange system empties to the lagoon, which discharges. The discharge as
defined by item (1) has not violated any condition of the permit and Item (2) no
changes have been made to the lagoon or discharge without notification. The
105 S. LAMAR STREET • P. O. BOX M • ROXBORO, NORTH CAROLINA 27573 • [phone] • FAX [phone]
m .cikyofroxboro.com

entire Ion Exchange System has undergone rigorous review and permitting with
all changes and an "Authorization to Construct' was issued on July 10, 2013.
The anticipated schedule of completion mentioned in the June 1, 2012 permit
was delayed by the "A to C" review. The delay in review was caused by the
extensive review by multiple divisions within DENR, in which the newly approved
technology was thoroughly vetted by all effected agencies. This can be verified
with our engineer and Siraj Chohan with the Public Water Supply Section of
DWR. When the delay was encountered a request dated January 13, 2014 was
submitted to your office stating the revised schedule. A copy of each of these
items is included with this letter.
Regardless of these discrepancies, the following is our response to the
scheduling issues:
1) The City is working with the engineering firm of Coulter Jewell Thames,
PA to study our entire sludge handling process at the WTP. The goal
is to have the study complete by Fall 2015 and to start design work
and permitting immediately following to alleviate the discharge. This
schedule is very tentative until we understand the extent of any
upgrades and until the MIEX system is optimized.
2) We do not plan to pump and haul the wastewater from the Ion Exchange
system. The constituent waste from the Ion Exchange system should
actually reduce sludge volume and chemical coagulants. Questions
concerning the Ion Exchange System should be directed to Siraj
Chohan with the Public Water Supply Section of DWR, since they did
not require us to eliminate the discharge. In addition, Orica, the
designers of the MIEX system expect the maximum wastewater of the
system to be less than 2,000 gpd with little to no impact on the existing
sludge system or its discharge.
3) A permit modification would be welcome to allow the Ion Exchange
Treatment to be carried to the existing lagoon. We would also like to
know what parameters you would be interested in monitoring. What
characteristics of the wastewater from the ion exchange system are
you concerned about so that they may be addressed? The
modification could include a new schedule for investigating, permitting
and installing facilities to eventually eliminate the discharge from our
sludge de -watering system.

Re: NPDES Permit Update

Roxboro Water Treatment Plant— Class PC 1

Dear Mr. Guerra,
This letter is to update the scheduling of the flow monitoring and elimination of
the discharge form the plant in our permit dated June 1, 2012.
In our permit's supplemental section A.(3.), it states that if the permit is not
rescinded that by May 4, 2015 that the city shall monitor flow continuously and
with flow recording. In our original response to the draft permit, the City was
unaware of scheduling issues with the upgrades at our facility.
The upgrades were expected to be permitted by August 2012, bid in the Fall of
2012, and construction started by Spring of 2013. The permitting was delayed by
11 months and the entire schedule has slipped. We now also understand that
the pump station eliminating the discharge cannot be installed until the new flow
characteristics are fully understood, and that will not occur until the system is up
and running. We do believe that the discharge can be eliminated by the next
permit renewal and we will be installing flow monitoring equipment at the end of
the upgrade to be able to size a pump station.

Dear Mr. Warren Jr.:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft very
carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The
following procedure has been recently implemented by DWQ: Total residual chlorine (TRC)
compliance level changed to 50ug/L. Effective March 1, 2008, the Division received EPA approval
to allow a 50 ug/L TRC compliance level. A footnote regarding this change has been added to the
effluent limitations page in the draft permit.
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 mitigation measures may be required.
This draft permit contains the following changes from your existing permit:
• This section of Marlowe Creek is listed as impaired for Copper and Zinc
o Additional Monthly monitoring for Zinc and Copper added to effluent page
• Limits and monitoring for Settleable solids deleted
• The site map has been updated to reflect tat & long values for your discharge point.
• Footnotes have been modified and added.
• Parameter codes have been added to the effluent page.
• Downstream sampling site changed from 100 feet to 300 feet from discharge
• Sampling frequencies have been changed for:
o Flow - weekly to 2/month with sample type changed from Instantaneous to recording
o TRC - weekly to 2/Month
o Aluminum - weekly to quarterly.
o Instream Turbidity - weekly to 2/Month
o pH - weekly to 2/Month

Footnotes:
1) The discharge from this facility shall not cause turbidity in the receiving stream to exceed 50 NTU. If the
instream turbidity exceeds 50 NTU due to natural background conditions, the discharge cannot cause
turbidity to increase in the receiving stream.
2) Upstream = 100 feet from discharge, Downstream = 300 feet from discharge.
3) The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 ug/I 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 ug/I.
4) Parameter should be monitored in conjunction with toxicity test.
5) See Part I, Condition A. (2.). Further studies may be required to determine the cause of toxicity, if any.
The collection of samples shall coincide with the sampling of other parameters.
There shall be no discharge of Floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts
All samples collected should be of a representative discharge.

Permit NC0003042
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY MONITORING (QUARTERLY)
The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina (Ceriodaphnia Dubia) Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or
subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 90%. The testing shall be
performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 7day pass/fail test. 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.
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-f (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

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 specked 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.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT Fortes
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.

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — Permit No. NC0003042
Town of Roxboro Water Treatment Plant
Person County
Dear Mr. Warren:
On October 29, 2010, staff from the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of
the Town of Roxboro Water Treatment Plant. The assistance and cooperation of Mr. Arnold Oakley was very
helpful and appreciated during the inspection process. This facility was found to be in compliance with permit
NC0003042 at the time of the inspection.
1. The current NPDES Permit became effective October 1, 2007 and expires March 31, 2012.
2. The Plant was configured as per the permit. Arnold Oakley is the ORC and has a Grade 1 Physical
& Chemical certification and a Wastewater Grade I certification. Annie Hutchins is the back-up
ORC and has a Grade I Wastewater & Physical Chemical certification. Stephen Rimmer is back-up
ORC and has a Grade 1 Physical Chemical certification and Sammy Yarboro is Plant
Superintendent.
3. All logs and documentation was consistent and up to date.
4, Tritest does all the analyticals. The ORC does the sampling.
1. Wastewater Treatment Plant site inspection:
Raw water is pumped to the facility and introduced into the flash mixer. Aluminum chloride for
coagulation and sodium Hydroxide for Ph adjustment is added in the flash mix. Flow later goes to
flocculators and then to settling basins. Next process is the multimedia filters at which point
chlorine is added. Phosphate is added after the filters for corrosion control. Then on to the clear
well. Fluoride is also added after the filters before the clear well. The filter backwash and alum
sludge from settling basins goes onward to two holding ponds. Solids settle out in holding ponds
and clear water is discharged to the receiving stream. Sludge is pumped from the holding ponds to
the alum sludge drying beds. Clear water from the drying beds is pumped back to the holding
ponds.
2. Sludge is hauled by Synagro from the drying beds and taken to the Roxboro Wastewater Treatment
plant. Sludge is later land applied. The facility also have the option to haul sludge to Piedmont
Landfill.

3. Asper the ORC actuators for sludge removal have been repaired and currently working fine.
4. Standby power is tested monthly.
II. Requirements:
I. The facility must clear out vegetation and weed growth from around the drying beds and holding
ponds. As per Mr. Arnold Oakley, the facility is on schedule to clear out weeds and vegetative
growth around the holding ponds and sludge drying beds this fall 2010.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observation, comments and recommendations.
Thanks for your staffs cooperation during the inspection. If you have any questions, please call me at

Section D. Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Plant contacts day of the inspection were Arnold Oakley (ORC) and Steve Clayton.
Synagro land applies the sludge from this facility. It can also be hauled to the Piedmont Landfill.
This facility is an old conventional WTP. Actuators for sludge removal were contracted to be repaired and
the third basin was offline the day of the inspection. The lagoon pumps do not have redundancy and should
the one pump fail, repair parts are on -site, but this is a limiting factor in the process as it is currently being
operated.
A compliance inspection should follow after repairs are completed to ensure compliance with operating as
permitted.

Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
October 15, 2008
Subject:
Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI)
Roxboro Water Treatment Plant (WTP)
NPDES Permit NC0003042
Person County
On September 09, 2008, I, Vicki Webb and Ed Owen of the Raleigh Regional Office of the NC Division
of Water Quality conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the subject facility. The assistance of
Mr. Arnold Oakley, operator in responsible charge (ORC), was appreciated as it facilitated the
inspection process..
The main findings and suggestions from the inspections are as follows.
1. The Roxboro WTP facility is located at 1599 Chub Lake Road in Person County. The
facility consists of a backwash waste lagoon, three holding ponds, and two drying
beds. All components were reviewed at the time of inspection. Effluent is discharged
into an unnamed tributary of Marlowe Creek, classified C waters in the Roanoke
River basin.
2. Mr. Oakley is the ORC with Stephen Rimmer and Annie Hutchins serving as back-up
ORCs. All three are PC-1 certified operators. This facility is listed at a PC-1
operation.
According to Mr. Oakley, the dried sludge is taken to Roxboro Waste Water
Treatment Plant (WWTP), where Synagro land applies it.
4. Once samples are collected, they are taken to the WWTP laboratory for analyses. If
the fifteen -minute timeframe is exceeded, then the samples are discarded. It is
required that the samples be placed on ice at the time of collection to insure that no
degradation of the sample occurs.
5. DMRs for January 2008 and June 2008 were reviewed and compared to lab reports.
One discrepancy was noted on the January 2008 DMR. Please summit an amended
DMR to correct. The laboratory records were found to be in good order.

6. The plant and laboratory was very clean -and well maintained. No operational or
maintenance issues were noted. Visitation and operations logs were reviewed and
found to be complete and satisfactory. The effluent was free and clear of solids or any
other pollutant indicators. The receiving stream looked healthy and showed no
adverse conditions.
It was noted during the inspection that excessive weeds and woody vegetation
growing around the lagoon, holding ponds and the drying beds. The facility is to take
immediately action to correct this problem.
It is requested that you respond in writing with in 20 days of receipt of this correspondence. Your
response should address item 7 and include a time tine for the clean-up.
The overall conditions of Roxboro WTP are complaint with Division standards. If you have any

Dear Vicki Webb,
In response to our September 09, 2008, inspection report for item no. 7 we are scheduling
in November 2008 to have the weeds and woody vegetation cut down. This is usually done on an
annual basis. We are investigating the use of a herbicide to try to control the growth. If this is not
sufficient please let us know.

Subject: Draft NPDES Permit
Permit NC0003042
Roxboro Water Treatment Plant
Person County
Dear Mr. Warren:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the renewal draft permit for your facility. Please review the
draft very carefully so that you thoroughly understand the conditions, measurement units, and
requirements it contains.
Your permit is among several in the Roanoke River basin that are up for renewal. There are two
significant changes to your permit:
1) A Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) limit has been added to this permit. Because you may
need time to make modifications to your plant in order to comply with this new condition,
the TRC limit will not take effect until eighteen (18) months after the effective date of the
final permit. Monitoring of TRC was established in the previous permit and shall continue
after the effective date of the final permit.
2) A pH monitoring with upper and lower limits has been added to this permit. This will
take effect upon the effective date of the final permit.
Concurrent with this notification the Division is publishing a notice in the newspaper having
circulation in the general Person County area, soliciting public comments on this permit draft.
Please provide any comments you may have regarding this draft to DENR - DWQ, NPDES
Program no later than 30 days after receiving this draft permit.
Following the 30-day public comment period, the Division will review all pertinent comments and
take appropriate action prior to issuing a final permit. If you have questions concerning the draft
for your facility, please call me at [phone], extension 531, or you may email me at
[e-mail].
If no adverse comments are received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in
August, with an effective date of September 1, 2007, expiring on March 31, 2012.
Sincerely,
Pvr

Subject: Compliance Inspection
Roxboro Water Treatment Plant (WTP)
NPDES Permit NC0003042
Person County
Dear Mr. Warren:
On November 15, 2006, I, Vicki Webb, along with Judy Garrett and Chad Coburn of the Raleigh
Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Quality conducted a compliance evaluation
inspection of the subject facility. The assistance of Mr. Arnold Oakley was greatly appreciated.
The main findings and suggestions from the inspections are as follows.
The Roxboro WTP consists of a backwash waste lagoon, two holding ponds, and two
drying beds. All components were reviewed at the time of inspection. Effluent is
discharged into an unnamed tributary of Marlowe Creek in the Roanoke River basin.
2. The effluent was free of solids when observed at the time of inspection. A manganese
staining was observed on the rocks in the receiving stream.
3. Mr. Oakley is the ORC with Stephen Rimmer and Annie Hutchins serving as back-up
ORCs. All three are PC-1 certified operators. This facility is listed at a PC-1
operation.
4. According to Mr. Oakley, the dried sludge is taken to Roxboro Waste Water
Treatment Plant (WWTP), where Synagro land applies it.
5. Once samples are collected, they are taken to the WWTP laboratory for analyses. If
the fifteen -minute timeframe is exceeded, then the samples are discarded. It is
required that the samples be placed on ice at the time of collection to insure that no
degradation of the sample occurs, if the fifteen minute interval is exceeded.
6. Records of July 2006 DMR were compared to the facility's laboratory bench sheets.
No discrepancies were noted and the laboratory records were found to be in good
order.

flocculators then to settling basins then to multimedia filters at which point chlorine is
added.
S. Describe the wastewater and the treatment process(es) for wastewater generated by the
facility:
The wastewater is treated by retaining It in a decant lagoon. The solids settle out and the
clear water is discharged to the stream. The settled solids are pumped out to 1 of 2
additional decant lagoons. Clear water from these 2 lagoons is returned to the first lagoon
in the system. The concentrated solids in the 2 additional lagoons is released into 2 solar
drying beds and any clearwater is returned to the first lagoon in the system. The
wastewater is from the settling basins, filter backwash, and filter to waste for plant

Dear Mr. Warren:
• f Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
On March 20, 2006, I conducted a compliance evaluation inspection at the Roxboro WTP. Arnold Oakley
represented the facility during the inspection. His aid was greatly appreciated.
The Roxboro WTP has a PC-1 wastewater system used in the treatment of its filter backwash water. The
system consists of a backwash waste lagoon, two holding ponds, and two drying beds. All components were
reviewed during the inspection. Effluent is discharged into an unnamed tributary of Marlowe Creek in the
Roanoke River basin.
According to our records, Mr. Oakley is the ORC with Annie Hutchins and Stephen Rimmer serving as the
back-up ORCs. All three are certified PC-1 operators.
A review of records was conducted during the inspection. All required documentation was on hand except for
the sampling chain of custody forms. According to Mr. Oakley, these forms are retained at the W WTP
laboratory. I recommend that copies also be stored at the WTP.
The September 2005 DMR was compared to the facility's laboratory and bench data records. No discrepancies
were noted.
The WTP's backwash waste flow meter is used to measure the influent for the DMRs. This flow meter has not
been calibrated since 2001 according to the WTP's operators.
The facility contains three lagoons — one waste lagoon for the filter backwash and two holding ponds. Some
woody vegetation was observed on the dikes of the holding ponds. A small quantity of cattails was seen in the
ponds. According to Mr. Oakley, the slopes are mowed once a year.
The facility has two drying beds. One was full at the time of the inspection. According to Mr. Oakley, the
dried sludge is removed by Synagro who land applies it.
Samples are collected by Mr. Oakley and delivered to the WTP laboratory within fifteen minutes of collection.
If the timeframe is exceeded, the samples are discarded. I recommend that the samples be placed on ice after
collection to insure that no degradation of the sample occurs. t4ii Ce<o .

Dear Mr. Mize,
•
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
This writer, of the NCDENR, conducted an inspection of the Roxboro Water Treatment Plant (NPDES Permit No.
NC0003042) on February 9, 2005. Mr. Arnold Oakley, ORC, represented the Plant during the inspection. The assistance
of Mr. Oakley was greatly appreciated. Findings during the inspection are as follows:
1) This Grade I Physical/Chemical Water Pollution Control Treatment System consists of one backwash waste lagoon,
two parallel "holding pond" lagoons and two drying beds. Effluent discharge, which is intermittent, was not occurring at
the time of this inspection.
2) It was noted during this inspection that supernatant from the two parallel lagoons, as well as supernatant Dumped from
the backwash waste lagoon, bypasses the effluent sampling location. The effluent sampling location must be below
all treatment units. This would be downstream from where the aforementioned flows drop into a manhole on the gravity
effluent line from the backwash waste lagoon. It appears that the termination of the discharge outfall pipe, at the receiving
creek, may be the best -suited location for the collection of the effluent sample.
3) The emergency generator for the Water Treatment Plant reportedly is capable of providing power for the operation of
the two pumps located at the backwash waste lagoon during a power outage.
4) A random comparison of bench note data with the Discharge Monitoring Reports for September and October of 2004
was made. No discrepancies were noted.
5) The ORC log sheets were found to be up to date. Mr. Oakley is a Grade I Physical/Chemical certified Operator. Mr.
Steve Rimmer, back-up ORC, is also a Grade I Physical/Chemical certified Operator.
6) A review of the DMR data for the 12-month period from December 2003 through November 2004 was performed prior
to this inspection. The DMR's indicated compliance with permit limitations with the exception of January 12, 2004 when
there was a turbidity limit violation on a sample collected at the Downstream location. Mr. Oakley stated during the
inspection that the cause of this violation was related to a newly installed automatic sludge removal system in the Water
Treatment Plant. Sludge flowed from this system to the backwash waste lagoon to the point where the level in the lagoon
rose above the outlet sluice gates. Water with pin flock flowed over the sluice gates and through the outfall line to the
creek. It was reported that the lack of familiarity with the operation of this lagoon, on the part of Water Treatment Plant
personnel on duty at the time of this incident, may have been a contributing factor. Mr. Oakley said that subsequent
training was performed to prevent a similar future incident. Please be aware that future lagoon discharges of this
nature could lead to a Notice of Violation with possible civil penalty being issued. Also, note that future similar
incidents must be reported to this Office within 24 hours of occurrence.

7) Other DMR discrepancies noted and discussed with Mr. Oakley were as follows: Residual Chlorine was reported in
mg/L instead of ug/L (June through October of 2004), extra decimal place added to Settleable Matter results for October
2004, the INF box should be checked rather than the EFF box for Daily Rate, and the ORC status was not indicated on
December 2, 2003.
8) Please note that the location of effluent sampling, as indicated in item 2, must be corrected immediately. Also, take
special note of the incident described in item 6. Attached is the checklist generated as a result of this inspection.

Subject: Permit Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Roxboro Water Treatment Facility -
Permit # NC0003042
Person County
Dear Mr. Mize:
On June 11, 2004 Jerry Rimmer of the Raleigh Regional Office —DWQ conducted a compliance
evaluation inspection of the City of Roxboro Water Treatment Plant, Permit # NC0003042. A
copy of the inspection checklist is attached. The assistance Mr. Arnold Oakley and Harold
Gunter provided during the inspection was greatly appreciated. Their knowledge of the system
demonstrated the commitment that the facility has made to comply with permit requirements.
Findings listed on the checklist were as follows:
The permit, site plan, site chemical inventory, analytical records, DMR, training and
procedures were compliant.
2. Arnold Oakley (Certification # PC27375 & Grade 2#14394) is designated as ORC
and Steve Rimmer (Certification # PC28681) is designated as backup ORC. ORC
logbook documents presence of ORC or backup daily and compares to the DMR's.
3. The system consist of a two holding ponds, two alum sludge drying beds, one
concrete filtration tank and a outlet structure equipped with a slide gate and discharge
pipe. All systems are well maintained and operated adequately.
4. The banks of the ponds and drying beds were free of animal holes and erosion.
Polymer not currently in use. Piping changes have been complete to allow pumping
back to holding ponds or to discharge on controlled basis. Sludge is pumped from the
bottom of final concrete holding tank to the settling ponds. Sludge from bottom of
settling ponds is drained into drying beds.
5. Review of the analyses indicates that the facility is sampling per the permit. Data for
the months of October 2003 and April 2004 were compared with DMR entries and
were accurate. The sample points are acceptable and data has been submitted in
compliance with the permit. A review of your records indicates that you utilize
Roxboro's W WTP certified lab for analyses. A certified lab (TriTest, Inc.) is utilized
for analyses not performed on site and appropriate protocol is followed.
6. A review of the DMR reports since t st CEI indicates no violations recorded.

documentation was on file. O& M manuals are held on file. These must be
A to insure appropriate maintenance is performed.
,and -by generator is available for back-up power supply. It is tested twice each
inth.
Site groundwater wells are being monitored.
10. The system is operated as required by the permit. Samples are grab from the final
lagoon and iced down until analyses. Flow meter from water plant is utilized for flow
measurement and it is calibrated twice each year.
Your continued attention to the operations of the wastewater treatment facility is appreciated.
The system was compliant at the time of inspection. The treatment system program appears well
organized, sufficiently documented and is being managed in a timely manner.

I have discussed the proposed changes with Randy Jones that you want to make at Roxboro Water Treatment
Plant. These changes would direct decant water from the alum sludge lagoons directly to the creek and not to the
decant lagoon. We agree that the decant lagoon only serves as a storage holding pond and no other treatment of
the decant water takes place, therefore we believe that these changes would not require an Authorization to
Contruct Permit. DWQ assumes that all work will follow approved NC engineering practices. Please notify this
office when final construction has been completed.
If you have any questions about this email, please do not hesitate to contact me or Randy Jones at 919.571.4700.
Thank you,

After our phone conversion on 1-29-03 I am sending you a drawing with what I was
asking you about changing. Proposed changes are in red. Like you said and I agree that
the water receives no fatter treatment buy coming back into the Lagoon. If I don't here
form you we will be making these changes within a couple of weeks.

The lines at the lagoon where cleaned out 8-13-01. We removed a 2x6 and some cattails from line and manholes.
We found from lagoon to the 2nd manhole is a 12" line. Line turns up the hill to P manhole. This is a 12" line.
Line turns and goes between houses. From P to 4`h manhole is also a 12" line. Line then turns straight down to
creek; this is a 24" line.
