Davis Stanly County Utilities Director Stanly County 1000 North First Street, Suite 10 Albemarle, North Carolina 29001 Dear Ms. Davis: NORTH CAROLINA Envlranm&ValQuaf ty October 19, 2018 Subject: Final NPDES Permit Renewal Permit NCO043532 West Stanly WWTP Stanly County Grade III Biological WPCS SIC Code 4952 Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES 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). Please note that the receiving streams are listed as impaired for copper and zinc on the North Carolina 2016 303(d) Impaired Waters List. Addressing impaired waters is a high priority with the Division, and instream data will continue to be evaluated. If there is noncompliance with permitted effluent limits and stream impairment can be attributed to your facility, then mitigative measures may be required. The following changes were made to the draft permit sent to you on May 2, 2018: The facility classification has been added to the titles in Special Conditions A. (1), (2), & (3). The final permit maintains the following significant changes identified in the letter sent on May 2, 2018: • The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standards (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC Environmental Management Committee (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources 512 North Salisbury Street 11617 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 91.9.707.9000 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. Further, 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 instream 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. • Total copper and zinc monitoring have been changed to quarterly monitoring. A reasonable potential analysis did not indicate potential to violate the WQS, however, both receiving streams are impaired for copper and one for zinc, therefore monitoring will be maintained until the streams can be re-evaluated under the new WQS or a TMDL is in place to address the impairments. Additionally, in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0500 all test procedures must produce detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all data generated must be reported to the approved detection level or lower reporting level of the procedure. Currently, DWR's laboratory identifies the Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL) for total copper at <2 µg/L and total zinc at <10 µg/L. Using these values as benchmarks, future sampling for total copper and zinc should sample to these lower reporting levels. • In a limited dataset, bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate and cyanide showed reasonable potential to violate WQS in Long Creek via emergency Outfall 001 and quarterly monitoring for these parameters has been added to that outfall. See Section A. (2). • Emergency Outfall 001 has been removed upon expansion to 1.2 MGD. Upon expansion to 1.2 MGD, BOD, ammonia, and dissolved oxygen limits change and total nitrogen and phosphorous sampling are increased to monthly. See Section A. (3). After expansion, the facility will have to perform three seasonal effluent pollutant scans during the permit cycle and four second species toxicity tests prior to permit renewal in accordance with 40 CFR 122.216)(5). See Section A. (5). • Instream monitoring for conductivity has been removed due to lack of industrial dischargers and a pretreatment program. • Some of the wording in A. (4) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT has been updated, please review carefully. The changes include a 6.0% effluent concentration at 1.2 MGD. • Special condition A. (6) EFFLUENT MERCURY ANALYSIS has been added to the permit requiring at least one low level mercury analysis using EPA Method 1631 E within 12 months prior to the permit renewal application date until expansion to 1.2 MGD. • Federal program reports. The requirement to continue reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has been added to your NPDES permit. [See Special Condition A. (7)] regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and 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.

An effluent concentration of 30.0% shall be used for a permitted flow of 0.9 MGD from Outfall 001. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised- December 2010) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July, and October. These months signify the first month of each three-month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -December 2010) or subsequent versions. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWR Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch 1623 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1623 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water 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, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Water Sciences Section at the address cited above. Page 10 of 15 Permit NCO043532 Should the . permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during the following month. Assessment of toxicity compliance is based on the toxicity testing quarter, which is the three month time interval that begins on the first (Continued A. (4) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)) day of the month in which toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues until the final day of the third month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring. A. (5) EFFLUENT POLLUTANT SCAN [G.S.143-215.1(b)] Once the 1.2 MGD limitation page is effective, the Permittee shall perform a total of three (3) Effluent Pollutant Scans for all parameters listed below. Based on the time between the 1.2 MGD effective date and when the renewal application is submitted, the three scans will be conducted at equal intervals so the data can be incorporated in the renewal application. Analytical methods shall be in accordance with 40 CFR Part 136 and shall be sufficiently sensitive to determine whether parameters are present in concentrations greater than applicable standards and criteria. Samples should be collected with one quarterly toxicity test each scan, and must represent seasonal variation [i.e., do not sample in the same quarter every year].

Additional Toxicity Testing Requirements for Municipal Permit Renewal. Please note that Municipal facilities that are subject to the Effluent Pollutant Scan requirements listed above are also subject to additional toxicity testing requirements specified in Federal Regulation 40 CFR 122.216)(5). The US EPA requires four (4) toxicity tests for a test organism other than the test species currently required in this permit. The multiple species tests should be conducted either quarterly for a 12-month period prior to submittal of the permit renewal application, or four tests perfoimed at least annually in the four and one half year period prior to the next renewal application. These tests shall be performed for acute or chronic toxicity, whichever is specified in this permit. The multiple species toxicity test results shall be filed with the Aquatic Toxicology Branch at the following address: North Carolina Division of Water Resources Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch 1623 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1623 Contact the Division's Aquatic Toxicology Branch at 919-743-8401 for guidance on conducting the additional toxicity tests and reporting requirements. Results should also be summarized in Part E (Toxicity Testing Data) of EPA Municipal Application Form 2A, when submitting the permit renewal application to the NPDES Permitting Unit. A. (6) EFFLUENT MERCURY ANALYSIS [G.S.143-215.3(a)(2), G.S.143-215.66] If no Effluent Pollutant Scans are required in conjunction with the next permit renewal, the Permiee shall provide in conjunction with the next permit renewal application a minimum of one effluent mercury analysis using EPA Method 1631 E determined within 12 months prior to the Page 12 of 15 Permit NCO043532 application date. Any additional effluent mercury measurements conducted from the effective date of this permit and up to the application date shall also be submitted with the renewal application. If the mercury analysis is not provided with the application, the application may be returned as incomplete and the Permittee considered non -compliant. A. (7) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS [G.S.143-215.1(b)] Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21, 2015. NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits): • Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements • Section D. (2.) Reporting • Section D. (6.) Records Retention • Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports 1. Reporting Requirements [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)1 The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application. Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address: ' NC DENR / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section ATTENTION: Central Files 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1. 1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below. Page 13 of 15 Permit NCO043532 Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of discharge. Starting on December 21, 2020, the permittee must electronically report the following compliance monitoring data and reports, when applicable: Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports; Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports. The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below). 2. Electronic Submissions In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient at the time of each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website resources to identify the initial recipient for the electronic submission. Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity for receiving electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)). EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule is found at: hgps://www.federalregister. Gov/documents/2015/10/22/2015-24954/national-pollutant- discharize-elimination-s sty em-npdes-electronic-reportin -rule Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements" section above. 3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective.

Basic Facility Information Facility Information Applicant/Facility Name: Stanly County/West Stanly WWTP (formerly Oakboro WWTP) Applicant Address: 1000 North First Street, Albemarle, NC 29001 Facility Address: 24939-B Barbee's Grove Road, Oakboro, NC 28129 Permitted Flow: 0.9 MGD/Expansion 1.2 MGD Facility Type/Waste: MINOR Municipal; 100% domestic (Upon Expansion MAJOR Municipal) Facility Class: Class 3 Treatment Units: Bar Screen, Activated Sludge/Aeration, Disinfection Pretreatment Program (Y/1) N County: Stanly Region Mooresville Briefly describe the proposed permitting action and facility background: Stanly County has applied for an NPDES permit renewal for 0.9 MGD, and for a modification to rerate the existing facility to expand in the future to 1.2 MGD, for the West Stanly WWTP (formerly Oakboro WWTP) in February 2014. The application included the required EAA for the expansion. This facility serves Page 1 of 11 as a regional facility for a population of 6,400 residents for the communities of Oakboro, Stanfield, and Locust. The facility has a primary Outfall 002 and an emergency Outfall 001, each outfall impacts different receiving streams. Discharge from Outfall 002 requires the operation of effluent pumps to transfer the treated wastewater via a pressure sewer to Rocky River. Discharge from Outfall 001 is an emergency gravity overflow from the effluent pump station to Long Creek. Mechanical issues that have resulted in the historical episodic discharge from the emergency overflow will be resolved as part of the expansion design/constructions. Upon expansion to 1.2 MGD the facility's Outfall 001 will be no longer be considered as an active discharge. This segment of the Yadkin -Pee Dee River that receives the discharge from Outfalls 001 and 002 is downstream from High Rock Lake. West Stanly is an active member of the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin Association. A speculative letter was issued in 2005 for a proposed expansion to 1.2 MGD for this facility based on a QUAL2E model prepared for Rocky River and Mallard Creek. The speculative limits are still valid and will be applied in this permit. 2.

Instream Data Summary Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example: 1) to verify model predictions when model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/l of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to verify model predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future TMDL; 4) based on other instream concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also Monitoring Coalitions established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in which case instream monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained). If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will be proposed for this permit action: The current permit requires instream monitoring for dissolved oxygen and temperature. West Stanly is a member of the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin Association and as such instream monitoring was waived. Currently there are no instream monitoring stations active downstream of either outfall. Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (YIN): Yes Name of Monitoring Coalition: Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin Association 5. Compliance Summary Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past S years): During Oakboro ownership, February 2010 to February 2014, there were 29 limit violations. Oakboro paid $1,363 in fines. Since the transfer of ownership to Stanly County in March 2014 the facility has had 53 limit violations (BOD, ammonia, TSS, fecal coliform) and paid $10,480 in fines. Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results (past S years): The facility passed 20 of the last 20 quarterly chronic toxicity tests (14 under current permittee Stanly County). As a minor facility, no second species testing is required. Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The last facility inspection conducted in 2016 reported that the facility was having operational issues from high influent BOD and NH3-N loading, and visible effluent clarity issues, as the result of a recently accepted wastewater stream from Enterprises Rendering. Acceptance of the Enterprise Rendering wastewater was terminated by the Permittee at the direction of The Mooresville Regional Office. 6. Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) Dilution and Mixing Zones In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0206, the following streamflows are used for dilution considerations for development of WQBELs: 1 Q 10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q 10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic Life; non -carcinogen HH); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH). If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMLY model results): NA If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 1 SA NCAC 2B.0204(b): NA Oxygen -Consuming Waste Limitations Limitations for oxygen -consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to ensure protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits Page 4 of 11 (e.g., BOD= 30 mg/1 for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and model results. Ifpermit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed. Limitations for 0.9 MGD to Outfall 002 for BOD and NH3-N are based on a Streeter Phelps model (Level B) for instream DO protection. No changes are proposed from the previous permit limits. In 2005 a QUAL2E model was prepared for Rocky River and Mallard Creek applying a 1.2 MGD discharge from this facility. The resulting limits are defined in Table 1.2 MGD and will be applied to Outfall 002: Table 2. 1.2 MGD Effluent Characteristics Monthly Averse Weekly Average Minimum Limit BOD year round 10.0 m 15.0 m NH3-N year round 4.0 m 12.0 m DO, year round 1 6.0 m , daily avera e Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of 1.0 mg/l (summer) and 1.8 mg/1(winter). Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria, utilizing a multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non -Municipals. Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection of aquatic life (17 ug/1) and capped at 28 ug/1(acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values reported below 50 ug/1 are considered compliant with their permit limit. Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: There are no proposed changes for the current 0.9 MGD flow. Reasonable Potential Analysis RPA) for Toxicants If applicable, conduct RPA analysis and complete information below. The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero background; 3) use of %z detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) stream flows used for dilution consideration based on 15A NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards, dated June 10, 2016. A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between May 2013 and November 2017. Pollutants of concern included toxicants with positive detections and associated water quality standards/criteria. Based on this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for this permit: • Effluent Limit with Monitoring. The following parameters will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL) since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria: None Page 5 of 12 Monitoring Only. The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria, but the maximum predicted concentration was >50% of the allowable concentration: Bis(2- ethylhexyl)phthalate and cyanide will be monitored quarterly for the emergency outfall 001. Though they didn't exhibit reasonable potential, copper and zinc will be monitored quarterly based on BPJ due to stream impairments. No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria and the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable concentration: Total phenolic compounds. POTW Effluent Pollutant Scan Review: The effluent pollutant data summarized in the renewal application were evaluated for additional pollutants of concern. o The following parameter(s) will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL) with monitoring, since as part of a limited data set, two samples exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: None o The following parameter(s) will receive a monitor -only requirement, since as part of a limited data set, one sample exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: None If applicable, attach a spreadsheet of the RPA results as well as a copy of the Dissolved Metals Implementation Fact Sheet for freshwater/saltwater to this Fact Sheet. Include a printout of the RPA Dissolved to Total Metal Calculator sheet if this is a Municipality with a Pretreatment Program. Toxicity Testing Limitations Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits issued to Major facilities or any facility discharging "complex" wastewater (contains anything other than domestic waste) will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements, with several exceptions. The State has received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in NPDES permits, using single concentration screening tests, with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test failure. Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: Will continue quarterly testing chronic WET limit at 4.6% effluent for 0.9 MGD and will add testing for a chronic Wet limit at 6.0% effluent concentration for expansion to 1.2 MGD. Mercury Statewide TMDL Evaluation There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply with EPA's mercury fish tissue criteria (0.3 mg/kg) for human health protection. The TMDL established a wasteload allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year (81 lb/year), and is applicable to municipals and industrial facilities with known mercury discharges. Given the small contribution of mercury from point sources (^-2% of total load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MMPs) for point source control. Municipal facilities > 2 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury (> 1 ng/1) will receive an MMP requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case -by -case basis, depending if mercury is a pollutant of concern. Effluent limits may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed the WQBEL value (based on the NC WQS of 12 ng/1) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL value of 47 ng/l Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: The single mercury analysis that was submitted showed no detect but was not applicable as it did not use test Method 1631E. A special Page 6 of 11 condition will be added to this permit that will require at a minimum that one effluent mercury measurement using test method 1631E must be submit in conjunction with the next permit renewal. If the facility expands prior to the next renewal multiple mercury measurement will be submitted as part of the required effluent pollutant scans. Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation within this permit: NA. Other W BEL Considerations If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: NA If applicable, describe any special actions (HQW or ORYF9 this receiving stream and classification shall comply with in order to protect the designated waterbody: NA If applicable, describe any compliance schedules proposed for this permit renewal in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H. 01 07(c)(2)(B), 40CFR 122.47, and EPA May 2007 Memo: If applicable, describe any water quality standards variances proposed in accordance with NCGS 143-215.3(e) and 15A NCAC 2B.0226 for this permit renewal: NA 7. Technology -Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs) Municipals Are concentration limits in the permit at least as stringent as secondary treatment requirements (30 mg/1 BOD51TSS for Monthly Average, and 45 mgq for BOD51TSS for Weekly Average). YES If NO, provide a justification for alternative limitations (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA Are 85% removal requirements for BOD51TSS included in the permit? YES If NO, provide a justif cation (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA If any limits are based on best professional judgement (BPJ), describe development: NA Document any TBELs that are more stringent than WQBELs: NA Document any TBELs that are less stringent than previous permit: NA 8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge): The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation review in accordance with 15A NCAC 213.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit must document an effort to consider non -discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.0105( c)(2). In all cases, existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is maintained and protected. Page 7 of 11 If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: Based on the projected population growth in the facility's service area demand will exceed the current 0.9 MGD capacity by 2026. The EAA to evaluate several alternatives as well as expansion of the existing permitted facility to add 0.3 MGD capacity is summarized below: Table 3. EAA summary results. System Description of Proposed System Present Worth Cost Land Estimated will need 220 acres of land for a lagoon and irrigation area. The $18.2 million Application current treatment works will be upgraded to meet the additional 0.3 MGD. Reuse Estimated the additional treatment, operating cost, and storage required for $14 million 0.3MGD conjunctive reuse. Expansion Estimated the capital upgrades to expand the existing plant $9.3 million NPDES Discharge The Division concurred with the Permittee that the expansion of the existing facility was the best and most economical approach. 9. Antibacksliding Review: Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(1) prohibit backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a reissued permit to be as stringent as those in the previous permit, with some exceptions where limitations may be relaxed (e.g., based on new information, increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL limits, or WQBELs may be less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution). Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit (YES/NO): NO If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated: NA 10. Monitoring Requirements Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following regulations and guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 2B.0500; 2) NPDES Guidance, Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances (7/15/2010 Memo); 3) NPDES Guidance, Reduced Monitoring Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance (10/22/2012 Memo); 4) Best Professional Judgement (BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not considered effluent limitations under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti - backsliding prohibitions would not be triggered by reductions in monitoring frequencies. For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4. 11. Electronic Reporting Requirements The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21, 2015. Effective December 21, 2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) electronically. Effective December 21, 2020, NPDES regulated facilities will be required to submit additional NPDES reports electronically. This permit contains the requirements for electronic reporting, consistent with Federal requirements. Page 8 of 11 12.Summary of Proposed Permitting Actions: Table 4.

The US EPA subsequently approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016, with some exceptions. Therefore, metal limits in draft permits out to public notice after April 6, 2016 must be calculated to protect the new standards - as approved. Table 1.

However, application of the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge. The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream) hardness and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge. Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The discharge -specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal (more on that below), but it is also possible to consider case -specific translators developed in accordance with established methodology. RPA Permitting Guidance/WOBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern, based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based on applicable standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream. If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e. consistently below detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit. 1. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the following information: • Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q 10 (the spreadsheet automatically calculates the 1 Q 10 using the formula 1 Q 10 = 0.843 (s7Q 10, cfs) 0.113 • Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred • Permitted flow • Receiving stream classification 2. In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness -dependent metal of concern and for each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and instream (upstream) hardness values to use in the equations. The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for any hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for instream hardness values, upstream of the discharge. If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation using a default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)). Minimum and maximum limits on the hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400 mg/L, respectively. If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness -dependent metal showing reasonable potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site -specific effluent and upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using the new data. Page 2 of 4 Permit No.N00043532 The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows: Combined Hardness (chronic) _ (Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. Effluent Hardness, mg/L) + (s7Q 10. cfs *Avg. Upstream Hardness, mg/L) (Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q 10, cfs) The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the IQ 10 flow. 3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total recoverable metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site -specific translators, if any have been developed using federally approved methodology. EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved" converts the value for dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in -stream ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients found in The Metals Translator. Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion (EPA 823 B-96-007, June 1996) and the equation: C iss - 1 Ctow 1 + { V<W] [ss(l+a)] [10-6] } Where: ss = in -stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1], minimum of 10 mg/L used, and Kpo and a = constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved and adsorbed forms of metals. A list of constants used for each hardness -dependent metal can also be found in the RPA program under a sheet labeled DPCs. 4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition coefficient (or site -specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist (ie. silver), the dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion factor to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This method presumes that the metal is dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria development for metals. For more information on conversion factors see the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document. 5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable concentration (permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation: Ca = (s7Q 10 + Qw) (Cwgs) (s7Q 10) (Cb) Qw Where: Ca = allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L) Cwqs = NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria (µg/L or mg/L) Cb = background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or mg/L) Qw = permitted effluent flow (cfs, match s7Q 10) s7Q 10 = summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from noncarcinogens (cfs) * Discussions are on -going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations Flows other than s7Q 10 may be incorporated as applicable: IQ 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity Page 3 of 4 Permit No.N00043532 QA = used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from carcinogens 30Q2 = used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality 6. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of concern. Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date of the permit application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th percentile upper concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are compared to the Total allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary. If the predicted max exceeds the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations, the discharge is considered to show reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard, and a permit limit (Total allowable concentration) is included in the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support Document for Water Quality -Based Toxics Control published in 1991. 7. When appropriate, permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in accordance with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to Alexis Strauss on 40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements. 8. The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total chromium data results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical results based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum concentration (95th %) for total chromium will be compared against water quality standards for chromium III and chromium VI. 9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness -dependent metals to ensure the accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset. 10.

There has been new dissolved copper data collected on the segment immediately below 13-176 (13-17d) on the Rocky that confirms the impairment for copper for segment 13-17d, this will be reflected on the 2018 303(d) list. With Long Creek as category 5 and not 5e for copper and zinc, we know that the impairment was confirmed when applying the new statistical methodology (we do 10% exceedance with 90% statistical confidence for 303(d) listing since 2014). When you see category 5e, that shows the impairment was not confirmed with the new statistical methodology, but EPA did not allow NC to delist until new dissolved data is collected and status verified. Hope this helps, Pam From: Berry, Ron Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2018 11:26 AM To: Behm, Pamela <pamela.behm@ncdenr.gov> Subject: Assistance with NPDES renewal & expansion in Rocky River - Yadkin -Pee Dee River Pam, We are currently developing a NPDES renewal and modification permit for West Stanly WWTP NC0043532. The facility discharges to Rocky River AU 13-176 and has an emergency outfall that discharges to Long Creek AU 13-17-31b. Both stream locations are listed on the 2014 303d list since 2008. Rocky River has an IR Category Se for Copper and Zinc and Long Creek as a IR Category 5 for copper and zinc. Not sure if data is being collected to change the rating or if the data collected previously meets our current water quality standard criteria. Need to determine how to apply 303d listing for applying copper and zinc water quality standards. Any thoughts or additional information you can provide?

EXPANSION West Stanly WWTP (formerly Oakboro WWTP) NC0043532 Received NPDES permit modification application from Town of Oakboro to expand existing facility from 0.9 MGD to 1.2 MGD (0.3 MGD increase) on July 2013. Ownership changed and NPDES permit re -issued to Stanly County in March 2014. Stanly County has requested the previous expansion application to 1.2 MGD be included in the current renewal process. Flow Justification: Consultant used historical growth in region for primary towns connected to WWTP, 1980 to present, to determine population growth rate. Portion of service area (western part of county) is considered a potential suburb of the Charlotte area. Projected annual increase in domestic wastewater by applying the historical population growth rate and using per capita residential flow factor 70 gpm and commercial factor of 15 gpm. Projected exceedance of 80% of 0.9 MGD in 2013 with predicted flow to reach 0.97 MGD by 2032. Annual flow increase about 0.010 MGD per year. Note: Checked DMR data in 2013 the highest monthly average flow reported was 0.682 MGD, so far in 2014 highest reported monthly average flow is 0.678 MGD. EAA REVIEW 1) Connect to a regional or other existing WWTP — Stanly is the regional WWTP and should be expanded. No other system connection warranted. 2) Land Application— Irrigation of 0.3 MGD - 18 MG storage lagoon - Purchase 220 acres - 1,200 land application pump station - Piping and irrigation system - Plant current limits more stringent than 2T rules, capable to continue to meet 2T rules at higher flows 3) Wastewater Reuse — Reuse 0.3 MGD - New filters at WWTP to meet 2U rules - 1.5 MG detention pond - 9 MG storage basin - 1,200 reclaimed water pump station - 0.2 MG elevated storage tank 4) Re-rate/upgrade West Stanly WWTP — expand to 1.2 MGD apply limits as listed in 2005 spec letter for 1.2 MGD - Existing plant basic design was for 1.2 MGD, minor changes - New surface aerators - New 0.18 MG Sludge Holding Tank - New polymer feed system COST COMPARISON Land Application Wastewater Reuse Expand existing WWTP Project Cost $8,783,000 $4,064,000 $811,000 Annual O&M $576,000 $606,000 $520,000 Present Worth $9,409,343 $9,899,413 $8,494,546 Total Present Worth $18,192,353 $13,963,413 $9,305,546 Re -rate/ upgrade existing Stanly WWTP best option Date:12/16/15 EXISTING ROCKY RIVER LIMITS - 0.9 MGD 1) BOD (monthly avg limit) Summer 9.0 mg/I x 0.9 MGD x 8.34 Ibs-I/MG-mg x 213 days 14,389 Ibs-Summer Winter 18.0 mg/I x 0.9 MGD x 8.34 Ibs-I/MG-mg x 152 days 20,536 Ibs-Winter Annual 34,925 Ibs/yr 2) NH3-N (monthly avg limit) Summer 3.0 mg/I x 0.9 MGD x 8.34 Ibs-I/MG-mg x 213 days 4,796 Ibs-Summer Toxicity 17.2 mg/I limit more stringent than toxicity Winter 6.0 mg/I x 0.9 MGD x 8.34 Ibs-I/MG-mg x 152 days 6,845 Ibs-Winter Toxicity > 35.0 mg/I limit more stringent than toxicity Annual 11,642 Ibs/yr 3) DO (daily avg minimum limit) Annual 5.0 mg/I x 0.9 MGD x 8.34 Ibs-I/MG-mg x 365 days 13,698 Ibs/yr WQS 5.0 mg/I limit = WQS PROPOSED EXPANSION ROCKY RIVER LIMITS -1.2 MGD 1) BOD (monthly avg limit) Annual 10.0 mg/I x 1.2 MGD x 8.34 Ibs-I/MG-mg x 365 days 36,529 Ibs/yr 2) NH3-N (monthly avg limit) Annual 4.0 mg/I x 1.2 MGD x 8.34 Ibs-I/MG-mg x 365 days 14,612 Ibs/yr Summer Toxicity 13.2 mg/I limit more stringent than toxicity Winter Toxicity > 35.0 mg/I limit more stringent than toxicity 3) DO (daily avg minimum limit) Annual 6.0 mg/I x 1.2 MGD x 8.34 Ibs-I/MG-mg x 365 days 21,918 Ibs/yr WQS 5.0 mg/I limit more stringent than WQS SUMMARY Summer Winter % increase flow expansion 33.33% Annual mg/I mg/I lbstyr inc dec inc dec 1) BOD % increase for expansion 4.59% 11.11 % (44.44) % 2) NH3-N % increase for expansion 25.51% 33.33 % (33.33) % 3) DO % increase for expansion 60.00% 20.00 % 20.00 % Ratio of DO increase to (BOD + NH3-N) increase = 1.99 Date: 6/17/15 West Stanly WWTP - NCO043532 Flow History Predicted Demand YEAR ANNUAL AVERAGE (add 0.022 MGD each Vear after 2014) DMR 2008 0.362 DMR 2009 0.399 Based on DMR 2008 and 2014, demand increased 0.022 MGD per year DMR 2010 0.38 DMR 2011 0.394 DMR 2012 0.368 DMR 2013 0.488 DMR 2014 0.494 2015 0.516 2016 0.538 2017 0.56 2018 0.582 2019 0.604 2020 0.626 2021 0.648 2022 0.67 2023 0.692 80% ; 2gA, e0y7;1 ,� 2025 0.736 2026 0.758 2027 0.78 90% 2028 0.802 2029 0.824 2030 0.846 2031 0.868 100% 2032 0.89 2033 0.912 ANNUAL AVERAGE (add 0.022 MGD each year after 2014) 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Date: 6/14/17 DMR Data for NPDES Permit NCO043532 pb:rdb West Stanly W WTP • Fecal Coliform Wkly Geomean ■ Fecal Coliform Mhly Geomean —Mhly Geomean Limit —Wkly Geomean Limit 3,500 --------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- 3,000 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 0---------------- 2,500 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ E2,000 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------♦ 0 0 1,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ' ' 500 ------------- -- • - -------------------- o ' ei N N7 Vf Vf e-I 'i rl Vl N M Ln N N tlf N w w w to w w to w w w w w n n n n n rl rl H �-i rl N ei rl rl rl rl 'i ei �-1 'i rl 'i e-I e-I ,-1 rl ei t-1 'i rl c w n w o w M w `m a m ?

EPA disagrees with delisting these specific waters in 2016 and they will likely be put back on the final 2016 303(d) list. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by AL no longer applies, we don't have any data for these segments to compare to the new dissolved metals standards, so we have to work under the assumption that they are still impaired.
