Permit NC0006033
A. (2) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 4.7%. The permit holder shall perform
at a minimum,qua monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia
Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North
Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or
subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September, and
December. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent
discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below
the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the
two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple
concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no
detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a
detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection
methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II
Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later
than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/ physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate
signature. Total residual chlorine of -the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if
Chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the
report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to,
the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring
will be required during the following month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-
opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
If the Permittee hnonitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of sut;h
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.

Permit NC0006033
A. (3) TOTAL NITROGEN CALCULATIONS
The Permittee shall calculate and report the annual mass loading of total nitrogen (TN) as the sum of
monthly loadings, according to the following equations:
(1) Monthly Mass Loading (pounds/month) = TN x Q x 8.34
where:
TN - The average total nitrogen concentration (mg/L) of the weekly composite samples collected
during the month
Q - The total wastewater flow discharged during the month (MG/month)
8.34 - Conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
(2) Annual Mass Loading (pounds/year) = Sum of Monthly Mass Loadings for the calendar year
The Permittee shall report the total nitrogen concentrations for each sample and the monthly mass loading in the
appropriate monthly self -monitoring report, and the annual mass loading of total nitrogen in the December self -
monitoring report for the year.

SUMMARY
This facility is a major municipal treatment plant operating in Gaston County that serves 3776
people. City has a separate sewer collection system. The facility has permitted flow of 4.0
MGD discharging into the South Fork Catawba River. The town no longer has an active
pretreatment program due to the loss of the single industrial user (textile mill).
REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS
Reasonable potential analysis was conducted for Phenols, please see attached.
TOXICITY TESTING:
Type of Toxicity Test: Chronic P/F (Ceriodaphnia dubia)
Existing Limit: 001: Chronic P/F @ 4.7%
Recommended Limit: 001: Chronic P/F @ 4.7%
Monitoring Schedule: March, June, September, and December
The facility has been consistently passing its WET tests, please see attached.
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY:
DMRs have been reviewed for the period January 2006 through August 2009. Facility has a
negative compliance record, please see attached.
In order to address the compliance issues, the facility has made the following upgrades that
were completed in 2008: installed new mechanical screening equipment, upgraded aeration
Page 1
Version: February 11, 2010

basin with the new floating aerators and curtain baffle, installed new return/waste activated
sludge pumping stations, installed new liquid feed chlorination/dechlorination system, installed
a new chlorine contact basin, built new chemical storage and feed facilities, installed new
controls, instrumentation and SCADA systems, installed new plant electrical system. The
compliance issues are also related to the loss of customers and low daily flows, the last year
average daily flow was 0.568 MGD.
INSTREAM MONITORING:
Instream monitoring is required for temperature, dissolved oxygen, color, and conductivity. A
review of the instream data for the period January 2006 through August 2009
indicated that DO values never fell below 5.0 mg/L.
PROPOSED CHANGES:
• Monitoring: Color monitoring special condition A. (3.), instream color monitoring,
and instream conductivity monitoring was removed since the facility no longer receives
waste from textile manufacturer.
• Limits: A weekly average and monthly average limit for phenols was added based on
the results of the statistical analyses of the effluent data.
PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE:
Draft Permit to Public Notice: November 4, 2009 (est.)
Permit Scheduled to Issue: December 23, 2009 (est.)

Gaston County, Town of Cramerton
Dear Dr. Chernikov:
155 North Main Street Cramerton NC 28032
December 2, 2009
As part of our NPDES renewal application we requested that our effluent sampling for color, conductivity, and phenol be
removed from the monitoring requirements. This request was based on the loss of the single significant industrial user
from our waste -stream matrix. Additionally, this textile manufacturer accounted for over 70% of our influent flow.
I request that the monthly phenol sampling and reporting be removed from our permit based on the same justification as
the color sampling/reporting. Additionally, I have reviewed our effluent phenol results for the period of January 2006 to
present and all results reported were below the detection level of the method used by our contract lab(s).
To the best of my knowledge there are no users of our sanitary sewer system that would contain residual phenols in their
wastestream flows.
We appreciate your consideration in this matter. If you have any questions or need additional information please contact

been a few significant upgrades to the existing WWT facilities since the permit was last renewed
(See Part II, No. 1(d) above).
The Town has entered into an agreement with the Town's of Lowell and McAdenville to
institute a study that would involve both Lowell and McAdenville sending their wastewater to
the Town of Cramerton for treatment. Results of this study are incomplete at this time,
however, it is anticipated (pending receipt of funding) that both Lowell and McAdenville will
eliminate their POTWs in the next two years - either by connecting to Cramerton or a second
option which has emerged, which is the City of Gastonia. The Town has ample capacity to
accept both Lowell and McAdenville and the Town's existing WWT facility has been recently
upgraded.
It is recommended that the subject permit be issued as requested.

Sludge Management Narrative
Cramerton Biosolids Management Program
Permit No. WQ0002618
Expiration date: 10-31-2010
The Town of Cramerton employees the land Application of Biosolids processes to manage the
wastewater treatment plant residuals. The land application program plan is currently managed
under a three year contract with:
Synagro, LLC
284 Boger Road
Mocksville, NC 27028
Todd Shearin, Technical Services Director is our point of contact and his number is:
[phone], ext 17.
Current O&M of residuals facilities are as follows:
One solids holding tank (200' x 100' x 12')
Two floating mechanical mixers/aerators @ 50bhp each.
One portable decant pump and lines.
Continuous residuals wasting at our facility is not necessary because of the reduced flows to the
WWTP. Therefore our operations staff removes or waste sludges using a batch process. When
the mixed liquor volatile suspended solids reach a target value then calculations are made to
determine the volume of solids to be removed from the system.
This volume is then pumped to the solids holding tank over a two to three day period. The
consistency or viscosity of the sludges is generally 1 to 2 % total solids. There, these solids
remain under continuous mix and aeration until such time that the holding tank becomes full. It
can take up to one year to fill the holding tank. During that time our staff will periodically shut-
down all mechanical agitation and let the holding tank settle. Afterwards they will spend several
days removing the clear (supernatant) liquid from the top layer of the tank and return this liquid
to the WWTP flows for further processing.
Generally we are required to lime stabilize the thickened residuals prior to land application to
area farmlands. By this time the consistency or viscosity of the residuals is near the 4 to 6 % total
solids concentration.
All sampling and testing is coordinated through Synagro, LLC and the residuals meet all Class B
requirements under 40CFR, Partr503, et.al.
