Sullins Director March 2, 2011 Natural Resources Dee Freeman Secretary RECEIVED MAR 1 7 2011 RaleighRe�oa10fce Subject: Renewal of NPDES Permit NCO023337 Scotland County WWTP Halifax County 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 October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). This permit renewal has the following differences from your current permit: ➢ The Supplement to Cover Sheet has been revised to list the current equipment at your facility. ➢ The TRC footnote has been changed on A.(1) in accordance with our Permitting Strategy. Because there are interferences sometimes in measuring low levels of TRC in wastewater, The Division considersany analysis reported by a certified laboratory of less than 50 ug/ L to be in compliance with the permit limit. ➢ Current Tar -Pamlico Nutrient language has been added to the permit. ➢ The Toxicity testing language has been updated to be in agreement with our standard testing language. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Location: 512 N.

The daily average dissolved oxygen concentration in the effluent shall not fall below 6.0 mg/L. 4. TRC monitoring and effluent limitations apply only if chlorine is used as a disinfectant or elsewhere in the process. The facility shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC certified laboratory, including field certified. However, effluent values below 50 ug/ L will be treated as zero for compliance purposes. 5. See Special Condition A. (3.) regarding nutrients. 6. Chronic Toxicity (Ceriodaphnia dubia) P/F at 90%: February, May, August, and November (see Special condition A. (2.)). 7. Stream samples shall be collected'/Week during June -September and IiWeek during the remaining months of the year. Upon initiation of instream sampling by the Tar Pamlico River Basin Association, instream monitoring required by this permit is provisionally waived in light of the permittee's participation in the Association. Instream monitoring will be immediately reinstated should the permittee end its participation in the Association. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. Permit NCO023337 A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant morality to Ceriodaphnia dubta at an effluent concentration of 90%. The pert holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly 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 February, May, August, and November. 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 minunum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase 11 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 11 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 TIIP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 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, 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 Section 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 monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and data submitted on the DMR, and shall be included on the submitted AT forms. 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.

Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq- Annual Avera¢e The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal cotiform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day 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. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Ouarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sams A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 nil in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: 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 (3) Variable time/constant volume: 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 preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may Version 1012912010 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Paget of 18 only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permfttees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24- 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. Daily Discharge 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" during the calendar month. Daily Sam phne Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. 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 The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = I. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. Version 1012912010 NI Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 Monthly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration limit) The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA. U4set An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions Du to Comply The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit.

The unit processes in the treatment system include an influent barscreen, a grit removal chamber, influent pump station, one activated sludge oxidation ditch with aeration and mixing provided "brush type" mechanical aerators. The ditch provides a volumetric capacity of approximately 400,000 gallons and one sludge digester with a capacity of approximately 200,000 gallons. Flow from the oxidation ditch is split between two secondary clarifiers one peripheral feed clarifier and one center feed clarifier. Sludge settles in the bottom of the clarifiers and is returned to the oxidation ditch or the sludge digester for treatment and hauled off and land applied. The clarified effluent goes to the effluent filter pump station where it is pumped to tertiary filters followed by chlorination and dechlorination and discharge into Canal creek. II. Compliance Performance The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) regulates the Town of Scotland Neck effluent discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The NCDENR issued to the Town a NPDES Permit, which includes water quality limits and sampling and monitoring requirements. The NPDES Permit requires the Town to test more than 14 different constituents in the treated water. The monitoring frequency for these constituents are set at various intervals such as continuous, daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly. During the reporting period, the Town conducted 2,578 tests of the treated water before it was discharged to the creek. The WWTP achieved a compliance level of 99.67% with the NPDES Permit requirements. Following is a summary of the testing for the parameters, which are, assigned Water Quality standards by the NPDES Permit. Please note the summary does not include parameters, which incorporates a monitoring requirement only, nor does it include daily process control testing. Constituent Number of Test Required Number of Test Conducted' Flow Continuous Continuous Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) 312 314 Total Suspended Solids (TSS) 312 314 Ammonia 156 169 Fecal Coliform 157 159 Chlorine 156 163 Total Nitrogen 52 52 Total Phosphorus 52 52 Zinc 4 4 Copper 4 4 Toxicity 4 10 'Testing is not required on holidays or during inclement weather. In addition to the required testing, the Town conducted over 2496 in-house test to ensure the proper operation of the wastewater treatment plant. Following is a summary of NPDES permit violations, which occurred during the year: February 2012 The quarterly toxicity test was reported as a failure. April 2012 The quarterly toxicity test was reported as a failure. May 2012 The weekly average limit for Fecal Coliform was exceeded during the week of May 20, 2012. September 2012 The monthly average limit for Ammonia -Nitrogen was exceeded. The weekly average limit for BOD was exceeded during the week of September 10, 2012. III.

BUNTING COMMISSIONERS FORREST BRADLEY, JR. BRYAN DOBSON JAMES GUNNELLS CHARLIE SHIELDS RAYMOND WATSON r L L 2 7 ?2?? I am writing in response to your February 12, 2013 Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement pertaining to one weekly BOD violation and a monthly Ammonia Nitrogen violation during September, 2012 at the Town of Scotland Neck Wastewater Treatment Facility. I am providing additional information for your review and consideration. The Scotland Neck W WTP received 11.00 inches of rainfall during the month of August, 2012 which contributed to Inflow and Infiltration and subsequently elevated flows at the wastewater treatment facility which exceeded the daily hydraulic design capacity. (This was the highest monthly rainfall total recorded for Scotland Neck since 1980, see month of August 2012 rain fall in attachment 1.) An additional 2.3 inches of rainfall was experienced in the first two weeks of September, resulting in the weekly BOD violation of the 7.5 mg/I permit limit with a weekly average of 8.6 mg/I. The excessive rainfall and elevated facility flows contributed to a loss of nitrification on September 4, 2012. Nitrification was regained on September 12, 2012; however, these elevated concentrations contributed to a monthly violation of the Ammonia Nitrogen permit limit of 2.0 mg/1 with a monthly average of 2.13 mg/l. Operators realized the hydraulic overload was a potential operational problem and coordinated with a hauler to stand by ready to haul sludge for reseeding the activated sludge process. P a g e I'Phone: (252) 826-3152 • Fax: (252) 826-2107 • email: scotneck@embargmail.com Scotland Neck WWTP provided sludge reseeding on the flowing dates: • September 4, 2012 received 5,000 gallons of seed sludge from Enfield W WTP • September 5, 2012 received 2,500 gallons of seed sludge from Enfield W WTP • September 10, 2012 received 2,500 gallons of seed sludge from Enfield W WTP The sludge reseeding activities above allowed the treatment process to quickly regain nitrification and minimize the period of noncompliance. In addition to efforts on reducing Inflow and Infiltration in the collection system, the Town of Scotland Neck is currently working on securing grant funds to add another secondary clarifier to the treatment scheme to improve solids settling, particularly at flows approaching the design capacity of the facility. As you may know, the current treatment system includes two secondary clarifiers; however, one is significantly smaller and does not respond well to significant increases in flow. The town respectfully request that a penalty not be issued for this event. The town is committed to continued improvement of the facility and protection of the receiving stream. I hope this information is helpful in describing the events during this period. If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 252-826-3152 or scotneck@embarqmail.com The town appreciates your guidance and support in this area.

You should undertake necessary actions to eliminate or reduce effluent toxicity to acceptable levels. In addition, this correspondence contains important information on the Division's Copper and Zinc Action Level Policy which is triggered by two or more toxicity limit violations that occur during the toxicity testing calendar quarter specified by the toxicity testing special condition of your NPDES Permit. Attachments addressing policy implementation and a copy of the Division's Toxicity Reduction Guidance have been included with this Notice of Violation. You should initiate follow-up toxicity testing upon a single WET test failure which occurs during the toxicity testing calendar quarter. Your facility is currently monitoring for copper and/or zinc and the data indicate that the levels of copper/zinc in your effluent have the potential to cause an exceedance of the NC water quality action level for this (these) parameter(s) in your receiving stream during low stream flow conditions. The policy states that whenever a facility experiences two or more toxicity limit violations during a toxicity testing calendar quarter, the NPDES Permit will be modified to include numeric limits for copper and/or zinc UNLESS the perraittee provides one or more of the following: Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail service Center, Rakagh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Location: 4401 Reedy Creek Road, Raleigh, North Carolina 27607 Phone: 919-743-84001 FAX: 910-743-85171 Customer Service: "77-623-6748 Internet http:/1h2o.enr.state.nc.usles1h/ Nimally eCarolina An Equal opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer 1. Instream measurements of dissolved metal during low flow conditions that demonstrate compliance with the Action Level standard 2. A revision of the prospective permit limit using improved inputs that in concert with existing or additional monitoring data demonstrates compliance with the Action Level standard 3. Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) results that definitively rule out copper and/or zinc as causes of effluent toxicity 4. Demonstration by an alternative method approved by the Division and EPA that copper and/or zinc is not the cause of toxicity The Division has evaluated your copper and/or zinc monitoring data. The Division has also developed a prospective NPDES permit limit based on your facility's instream waste concentration, the copper and/or zinc action level criterion and a translator procedure. Based on this data your prospective copper permit limit is 151.1 µg/L and your prospective zinc permit limit is 125.0 jig/L. The permittee, upon experiencing two or more toxicity limit violations during a toxicity testing calendar quarter must either provide DWQ with: a) Written notification indicating acceptance of the prospective copper and/or zinc permit limit. Notification is due within 30 days after the date of the second WET Notice of Violation. OR b) Written notification indicating your choice of option(s) as noted on page one of this correspondence. Notification is due within 30 days after the date of the second WET Notice of Violation. DWQ approval of options 1-3 (previous page) is not necessary as the Division expects work to rule out copper and/or zinc as causative effluent toxicants to begin immediately upon the second WET permit limit violation. Written notification (a or It above) shall be sent to: NC Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section Aquatic Toxicology Unit 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1621 Please note that if you choose item b) above, you will be given nine months to submit documentation that eliminates copper and/or zinc as causative effluent toxicants. Your final report should be comprehensive and include all data used to support your cwnclusion(s). Should the data indicate copper and/or zinc as the source of effluent toxicity or if Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Nail Service Center, Ralegh, North Carolina 27699-1621 O One Location: 4401 Reedy Creek Road, Raleigh, North Carolina 27607 Carolina Phone: 919-743-84001 FAX: 919-743-85171 Customer Service: 1-677.623-6748 Internet: http:/lh2o.enr.state.nc.us/esbl / // aural j/ `/ An Equal Opportunity I Afirmahn Action Employer the data are inconclusive as to copper and/or zinc's role as a toxicity source, then the NPDES Permit will be reopened and the metal limits specified above will be applied to the permit. The report is due nine months after the date of the second WET Notice of Violation. Three copies of the final report shall be submitted to: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section Aquatic Toxicology Unit 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 You should consider submitting the above correspondence certified mail. Failure to notify DWQ of your acceptance of a copper and/or zinc limit, failure to notify DWQ of your option selection or failure to make acceptable demonstration to DWQ that copper and/or zinc are not causative effluent toxicants within the stated time frames will result in reopening of the NPDES Permit to include copper and/or zinc numeric limitations, as appropriate. If the effluent is toxic, then we expect work to commence immediately with toxic effluent samples. Failure to initiate work with toxic effluent samples during the study period is unacceptable and will be considered a failure to make acceptable demonstration as cited above. We recommend a minimum of three separate sampling events during the nine month period to definitively rule out copper and/or zinc as causative effluent toxicants. Please note that your actions to notify DWQ of prospective limit acceptance or to notify DWQ of plan option(s) and subsequent submission of a plan are contingent upon two or more toxicity NPDES permit limit violations occurring during a toxicity testing calendar quarter. Also note that the WET limit will remain in your NPDES permit regardless of whether metals are the source of effluent toxicity. The data resulting from your actions to disprove copper and/or zinc as sources of effluent toxicity will determine whether NPDES Permit limits will be assigned for these parameters. You are responsible for initiating actions to address these issues. You may consider entering into a Special Order by Consent (SOC) with DWQ. A SOC provides regulatory relief for specific NPDES permit limit violations and, if signed, will contain a requirement to conduct a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation. The SOC will contain a compliance schedule, stipulated penalties for failing to meet milestone activity dates and may contain upfront penalties to settle past permit limit violations.

The unit processes in the treatment system include an influent barscreen, a grit removal chamber, influent pump station, one activated sludge oxidation ditch with aeration and mixing provided "brush type" mechanical aerators. The ditch provides a volumetric capacity of approximately 400,000 gallons and one sludge digester with a capacity of approximately 200,000 gallons. Flow from the oxidation ditch is split between two secondary clarifiers one peripheral feed clarifier and one center feed clarifier. Sludge settles in the bottom of the clarifiers and is returned to the oxidation ditch or the sludge digester for treatment and hauled off and land applied. The clarified effluent goes to the effluent filter pump station where it is pumped to tertiary filters followed by chlorination and dechlorination and discharge into Canal creek. II. Compliance Performance The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) regulates the Town of Scotland Neck effluent discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The NCDENR issued to the Town a NPDES Permit, which includes water quality limits and sampling and monitoring requirements. The NPDES Permit requires the Town to test more than 14 different constituents in the treated water. The monitoring frequency for these constituents are set at various intervals such as continuous, daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly. During the reporting period, the Town conducted 2,541 tests of the treated water before it was discharged to the creek. The WWTP achieved a compliance level of 99.67% with the NPDES Permit 17: fX 'Y . is/' �"i�*t�•'•� i ..e r ' h L � 4 w' "L r t requirements. Following is a summary of the testing for the parameters, which are, assigned Water Quality standards by the NPDES Permit. Please note the summary does not include parameters, which incorporates a monitoring requirement only, nor does it include daily process control testing.
