A (3) CAPE FEAR BASIN NUTRIENT. REOPENER
Pursuant to N.C. General Statutes Section 143-215.1 and the implementing rules found in the North
Carolina Administrative Code at 15A NCAC 2H.0112 (b) (1) and 2H.0114 (a) and Part II sections B-12
and B-13 of this permit, the Director of DWQ may reopen this permit to require supplemental nutrient
monitoring of the discharge. The purpose of the additional monitoring will be to support water quality
modeling efforts within the Cape Fear River Basin and shall be consistent with a monitoring plan
developed jointly by the Division and affected stakeholders. In addition, the results of water quality
modeling may require that additional limits for total nitrogen and total phosphorus be imposed in this
permit upon renewal.
Permit NCO063096
A (4) CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN AND TOTAL PHOSPHORUS LOADS
a. The Permittee shall calculate monthly and annual TN and TP Loads as follows:
1. Monthly TN (or TP) Load (lb/mo) = TN (or TP) x TMF x 8.34
where:
TN or TP = the average Total Nitrogen (or Total Phosphorus)
concentration (mg/L) of the composite samples collected
during the month
TMF = the Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the
month (MG/mo)
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
ii. Annual TN (or TP) Load (lb/yr) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN (or TP) Loads for the calendar
year
b. The Permittee shall report monthly Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus results (mg/L and Ib/mo)
in the discharge monitoring report for that month and shall report each year's annual results (lb/yr)
in the December report for that year.
A (5) 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 90 %.
The permit 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 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. If reporting pass/fail
results using the parameter code TGP313, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is sent to the below address. If
reporting Chronic Value results using the parameter code THP313, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be
sent to the following address:

required, the permittee will complete the information located at thelop 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 reporting of the data submitted on the DMR and 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

Summary
The Town of Holly Springs Utley Creek Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) currently serves
24,000 residents. The Town received an authorization to construct for 2.4 MGD on July 31,
2007. Although this permit action is for a renewal of the 2.4 MGD permit only, the plant has
been constructed to a capacity of 6.0 MGD. Because the Town is experiencing rapid growth,
and had intended to pursue a regional approach to wastewater disposal with the Towns of Cary
and Apex, it received approval from the Division to construct an expansion to 6.0 MGD.
Speculative limits for flows of 6.0 MGD and 8.0 MGD were provided on February 23, 2010 for a
discharge into the White Oak Creek arm of Harris Lake. (Utley Creek flows into Harris Lake).
However, after obtaining approval to relocate the outfall to a point further downstream in Utley
Creek from its present site, the town subsequently applied for and received another speculative
limit letter for flows of 6.0 and 8.0 MGD on June 24, 2011. This new discharge point avoids
impacting impounded areas on Utley Creek with algae problems caused by nutrients. Currently,
the Town is seeking a FONSI (finding of no significant impact) for an environmental assessment
for this expansion. NPDES approval for the expansion will be evaluated through a future permit
modification, after the FONSI is obtained.
The Town has a full pretreatment program. It has one SIU, Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics,
Inc., which contributes a total average flow of 161,300 GPD. There is also one categorical
industrial user, the South Wake County Landfill. It contributes an average of 10,700 GPD.
The Town is also developing a wastewater reuse program. It has constructed a 500,000 gallon
tank and a distribution system for this purpose.

Compliance
Data was obtained from BIMS for monitoring report violations from January 2007 to the present.
The Utley Creek WRF had ten exceedances of weekly BOD average limits from December
2008 to May 2009, also incurring three monthly average violations during this same period. In
addition, during this same period it experienced five fecal violations, five ammonia -nitrogen
concentration exceedances, and one total phosphorus exceedance. From January 2007 to May
2009, it also experienced six TSS concentration exceedances. The Town completed an
extensive upgrade in 2010 to address these problems (and expand treatment capability). These
improvements included new mechanical bar screens, grit removal units, and a five -stage BNR
process train with aeration, clarifiers, filters, and biosolids handling (see July 31, 2007
Authorization to Construct).
There was one WET test failure since January 2007, which occurred during the May 2009 test.
Subsequent testing in June and July 2009 showed passing results.
Toxicant Analysis
Data were obtained from monthly DMRs and from three priority pollutant analyses from 2008-
2010. According to the PERCS unit, all LTMP (long-term monitoring plan) data is included in
the monthly DMRs. Since August of 2010, the Town has been performing quarterly monitoring
of selected toxicants and metals, in support of the water reuse program. The following
parameters showed no hits or reasonable potential to cause exceedances of any water quality
standards: arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, total phenolic compounds, chromium, cyanide, lead,
mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, and silver. No monitoring will be required for these
parameters. Zinc and copper both showed reasonable potential to cause an exceedance of
water quality standards. As action level parameters, quarterly monitoring is proposed.
Nutrients
There were no changes from the existing permit regarding the limits for nutrients. As per the
Cape Fear Basin Nutrient Monitoring strategy, no changes are made to monitoring frequencies
for TN or TP where there is an existing limit for either.
Proposed Changes to the Permit
The following changes are proposed for this draft permit:
• Effluent flow tables for 1.5 MGD and 1.75 MGD were eliminated.
• A nutrient reopener was added to address concerns common to discharges in the Middle
Cape Fear River Basin.
• Quarterly monitoring for zinc and copper was added, since these action -level parameters
showed a reasonable potential to cause an exceedance of water quality standards.
Proposed Schedule of Issuance
Draft Permit to Public Notice: August 15, 2011
Permit Scheduled to Issue: October 2011

Subject: Holly Springs NPDES Permit
Stephanie,
We have reviewed the request from the Town of Holly Springs to relocate their discharge point to Utley Creek just
downstream of Thomas Mill Pond. The DWQ can reissue the Holly Springs NPDES Permit provided all of the necessary
support documentation demonstrates compliance with water quality standards downstream of the relocated discharge
point. The following processing steps and demonstrations are necessary:
• Holly Springs will be provided speculative effluent limits for the new location if they submit a water quality
modeling analysis which demonstrates compliance with standards and they submit documentation that the
downstream reservoir (Greentree Reservoir) will remain unimpounded into the future. We understand that
Progress Energy owns and operates that asset and they must agree to this condition.
• If and when speculative effluent limits are provided, Holly Springs must revise and resubmit an Environmental
Assessment (EA) document for processing through the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). This process
requires a public comment period. The best case outcome for Holly Springs is a Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI).
• If and when a FONSI is issued, Holly Springs may submit an NPDES, Permit application reflecting the new location
and increased effluent flow. Processing of this permit application also requires a public comment period.
• If and when the revised NPDES Permit issues, Holly Springs must submit engineering plans and specifications for
the construction of a new effluent transport and discharge structure at the new location. After review, DWQ will
issue an Authorization to Construct (ATC). Depending on the particular design, there may be a need for
approvals to impact wetlands as well.
Issuance of these approvals is never absolutely certain given the opportunities for public input. Also, the length of time
it will take to complete these steps is dependent on not only DWQ review time, but how long various submittals take to
prepare and the quality (completeness and thoroughness) of those submittals, and what information may be brought
forward from the public. I believe the absolute minimum time needed to complete this entire process from where we
are today to issuance of the ATC is 12 months.
If you have questions, call me at 919-807-6358.

MEETING DATE: May 9, 2011
Stephanie Sudano opened the meeting, and introductions were made.
Recent History of Utley Creek WWTP
Stephanie and Amy indicated that the Town had a discharge to Utley Creek since the mid
1980s. The following is a history of the plant capacities included in various NPDFS permits
for the Utley Creek WWTP:
• 1985 - 0.25 mgd
• 1993 - 0.75 mgd
• 1999 - 1.5 mgd
• 2009 - 2.4 mgd (built for 6 mgd)
Bill Kreutzberger provided a brief overview of the history of the Utley Creek WWTP. The
Town of Holly Springs was one of the Partners in the proposed Western Wake WRF - they
were to continue to operate the Utley Creek WWTP and share the outfall line with the
Partners to the Cape Fear River. As part of the Western Wake project, modeling was
completed on Harris Lake to evaluate this as an alternative for the WRF discharges. This
alternative did not meet the Partners needs; however the Town of Holly Springs was able to
use the model and received speculative limits to discharge to the White Oak Creek arm of
the lake.
Although being able to discharge to Harris Lake substantially reduces costs for the Town,
being able to discharge somewhere in Utley Creek could save up to $10 M in capital costs.
DWQ has indicated that they will not consider allowing the discharge to remain at the
present location because of water quality concerns in Thomas Millpond. Thus, the Town
requested speculative limits to Utley Creek downstream of the millpond. DWQ requested
that flow estimates be obtained at that site on Utley Creek.
History of Flow Estimates on Utley Creek
Curtis Weaver provided a history of USGS flow estimates on Utley Creek:
February 1984 below Thomas Millpond -All estimates (7Q10, 30Q2, Winter 7Q10)
were zero. These estimates were based on unpublished equations from the late
1970's and early 1980's.
USGS_FLOWMTG SUMMARY_MAY92011_V3.DOCX
FLOW ESTIMATES ON UTLEY CREEK
• January 1987 at mouth -All estimates were zero. These were based on transfer of
flow estimates from nearby gages based on flow/ sq mi drainage area. The index
sites used for the analysis were on White Oak Creek. The upper White Oak Creek
site had all flow estimates as zero, while the lower site had a positive 30Q2.
• March 1989 at Utley Creek WWTP - All estimates were zero.
February 1993 at Utley Creek WWTP - These flow estimates were completed just
following the release of the statewide low flow report. The estimates were 0.08 cfs
for 7Q10 and 0.23 cfs for 30Q2 (note: 7Q10 on Holly Springs NPDES permit is 0.11
cfs; Curtis noted that this was actually the yield per mil and the present discharge
location has a drainage area of about 0.7 mi2). These estimates were based on the
transfer of yield estimates based on 3 sites located in North Raleigh - Hare Snipe
Creek, Mine Creek, and Big Branch.
No further flow estimates until Holly Springs requested updated flows at DWQ's
request for the development of speculative limits
Curtis also had letter from Hugh Hudgins that references flow data collected by the Town
over V-notch weir in 1992; the lowest flow recorded in that year was 0.0754 cfs. Curtis also
had the USGS letter response to Mr. Hudgins (both letters attached). No data were included
with the hard copy letters that Curtis found in USGS files and the Town has not been able to
find copies of the reports or data from Mr. Hudgins.
Other Information
Amy reported that they have always been able to collect instream water quality samples
upstream of their discharge in Utley Creek since she has been with the Town since 2000. In
addition, the springs of Holly Springs are located downtown in the Utley Creek headwaters
and provide flow regularly to the Creek. The Town also pointed out that two mills were
historically located on the creek, and likely would not have been located there if flow not
available.
The soils data in the Utley Creek watershed was discussed. The reference streams on White
Oak Creek are largely within Triassic soils. Utley Creek has mainly B soils in its drainage
area so flows referenced from Triassic soil gages would not be appropriate (map attached).
Curtis acknowledged this information but does not have any reference sites for basing flow
estimates other than those in Triassic soils.
Future Flow Estimates
Curtis indicated that for USGS to make a definitive determination of flow estimates on Utley
Creek, the agency would need three years of data. The data would need to capture three
baseflow periods (late summer to early fall). Data from the three base flow periods would
be correlated with another gage; USGS acknowledged that the nearby gages were all in
Triassic soils and may not be appropriate. Flow estimates in this area have always been
limited by the lack of reference sites. Even available Triassic sites were discontinued 20
years ago. With no correlation to another gage, USGS would need ten years of data.
USGS_FLOWMTG SUMMARY_MAY92011_V3.DOCX
FLOW ESTIMATES ON UTLEY CREEK
We asked whether USGS would need three years of data to determine whether the 30Q2
was zero or not. Curtis indicated that if Holly Springs could find any of the 1992 data in
their archives, he would review it and give an opinion.
Curtis acknowledged that without further data, the most current reference is the 1993 USGS
Low Flow Report by Giese and Mason ("Low -Flow Characteristics of Streams in North
Carolina", USGS Water -Supply Paper 2403). He indicated that this report is still valid and
can be used for flow estimates.
Next Steps
The Town was going to look in their archives for the 1992 data. The Town will meet with
DWQ to summarize the meeting and discuss next steps.
Utley Creek Site Visit
The group toured Utley Creek upstream of the Holly Springs outfall and at the headwaters
of Utley Creek at the springs. Photos of the site visit are attached.

Re: Utley Creek at Holly Springs, NC
Dear Mr. Gunter:
The Town of Holly Springs desires to upgrade their existing
wastewater treatment plant which is located on Utley Creek. The Town
currently has an application for an allocation for 0.5 million gallons
per day pending with the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Management (NC DEM). However, prior to issuing an allocation, the NC
DEM requires*a determination from the USGS that Utley Creek is not a
zero flow stream under 7Q10 conditions.
No stream gauging stations exist on Utley Creek. In order to
gather evidence to assist your office determine the 7Q10 flow of the
stream, the Town of Holly Springs constructed in November 1991, after
consultations with your office, a 90 degree V-notch weir on Utley Creek
located adjacent to the treatment plant. The Town staff has read the
flow over the weir almost every day since its construction.
The drainage area contributing to the weir is approximately 454.5
acres (0.71 sq. miles). We have measured the flow over the weir to
determine the deviation from the standard formula for flow over a 90
degree V-notch weir (CFS = 2.5*H-2.5). The measured flows vary with the
standard formula by approximately 12%. Accordingly, flows have been
calculated using the changing the constant in the formula from 2.5 to
2.188 to give the following formula: CFS = 2.188*H-2.5.
The lowest flow measured during the year was in October 1992 at
33.85 gpm (0.0754 cfs). This flow was substantially sustained for a
period of 14 days from October 17 through October 30. A copy of the
flow measurements from August through October 1992 are enclosed for your
information and use. The stream appears to stabilize shortly after the
surface runoff from this small drainage basin passes the weir. This
pattern of stabilization appears to validate the contention of local
residents that Utley Creek is spring fed and has never been dry in the
memory of the oldest residents.
We look forward to receiving your determination of the 7Q10 for
this stream. Should you require any additional information or have any
questions, please feel free to contact me.
Yours sincerely,
HUDGINS & ASSOCIATES, INC.

Dear Mr. Hudgins:
In response to your December 31, 1993, request for low -flow data, the U.S.
Geological Survey does not have site -specific daca for Utley Creek at
headwaters at Holly Springs, N.C. The statistics that are provided on the
enclosed sheet have been computed by correlating the runoff characteristics
with the nearest gaged streams. They reflect natural streamflow conditions
and do not account for the effects of any diversion or regulation that may
be present. Because of the lack of site -specific data, no level of accuracy
was assigned to the computed statistics.
These data are preliminary and subject to revision pending approval for
publication by the Director of the Survey, and are made available through
our cooperative program of water -resources investigations with the North
Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact us.
Sincerely,
