Ross, Jr., Secretary Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director June 12, 2006 Mr. Ed Arrington Oak Ridge Military Academy 2317 Oak Ridge Road Oak Ridge, North Carolina'' 27310 Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO046043 Oak Ridge Military Academy WWTP Guilford County Dear Mr. Arrington: Division 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 May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended). This final permit includes the following changes from the draft permit sent to you on April 26, 2006: ➢ To support nutrient -sensitive modeling for the Jordan Lake watershed, the Division now requires dischargers to report the component species (TKN and (NOs-N + NOz-N)) as well as Total Nitrogen (M. Your lab already analyzes the species in order to calculate TN values; this added condition merely requires you to report the intermediate results along with the TN value. ➢ All permits in the Jordan Lake watershed now include a re -opener Special Condition. In the event that the EMC adopts a Nutrient Management Strategy or the EPA approves a TMI)L in the coming permit term, the condition allows the Division to re- open affected permits to set nutrient limits and related conditions accordingly. Be aware that the Haw River is listed as an impaired stream on North Carolina's 303(d) list. This means that the stream does not meet all water quality standards. Although the Division believes multiple sources are causing degradation to the Haw River, we will continue to monitor compliance at your facility. If noncompliance with your permit's effluent limits is shown to be a direct cause of stream degradation, the Division will recommend removal of your discharge. Part III of your permit requires ' you to "continually evaluate all wastewater disposal alternatives and pursue the most environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost effective alternatives" to surface water discharge. Such an evaluation may help you find an alternative to surface water discharge that is more appropriate for your facility. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 276994617 One 512 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 NQfthCar011na Phone: 919 733-M / FAX 919 733-07191 Internet: h2o.enr.state.mus Naturally 've Action Employer — 50% R Recycled/1 Post Consumer Paper An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative ecy pe Your facility discharges to a nutrient -sensitive water (NSW). In 1997 the Clean Water Responsibility Act (House Bill 515) was enacted, with the intent to strengthen the control of nutrients from all discharges to NSW waters. Any new (or expanding) will be subject to nutrient limitations for total nitrogen and total phosphorus according to House Bill 515 requirements. Since modifications to treatment systems are expensive and time consuming, it is highly recommended that you begin planning for this possibility now if a future expansion is anticipated at your facility. 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.
