r
Permit NCO087998
A. (2.) CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN LOADS
a. The permittee shall calculate monthly and annual TN Loads as follows:
L Monthly TN Load (lbs/month) = TN x TMF x 8.34
Where:
TN = average TN concentration (mg/L) of the composite samples collected during the
month
TMF = Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the month (MG/month)
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
H. Annual TN Load (lbs/year) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN Loads for the
calendar year
b. The permittee shall report monthly Total Nitrogen results (mg/L and lbs/month) in the
discharge monitoring report for that month and shall report each year's annual results (lbs/year)
in the December report for that year.

You can check "other" but the facility should still be permitted as a "greensand
filter". The "greensand" characterization is meant to capture a variety of filter
systems that do not use a brine recharge.

Toys,
If the facility's WTP is a sand, garnet & anthracite system do they indicate
"Other" on their application & specify such? They initially submitted the
application indicating Green Sand Filter as their type of system. The engineer,
Doug Chandler, will be submitting an amended application correcting this initial
error.

Vanessa,
I'm working on the amended application form. Under the Item 5. Type of Treatment
Plant, should I uncheck greensand and insert a line indicating that the filter
system is sand, garnet and anthracite? Or should I list the system as Other -
(sand, garnet and anthracite)?

Ricky,
Thanks for the email with your comments regarding the draft NPDES permit for Rand
Meadows Phase II WTP. Your comments will become.part of this facility's file.
I would like to take this opportunity to respond to your comments:
* Thanks, for catching the error found in footnote 2 regarding
fluoride. It has been corrected to read "fluoridates" rather
than "uses chlorine." * With respect to removing Total Zinc and Fluoride
from the
permit, we cannot. The permit merely requires you to monitor
these parameters * if * they are used in the treatment process.
* The requirement to monitor pH is not new to this permit; it is
carried over from and located in this facility's existing
permit. It is a parameter we require in permits like Rand
Meadows. Specifically, it is required by North Carolina's
Administrative Code (T15A NCAC 2B .0500).
* On the NPDES permit renewal application, the /Type of Treatment
Plant/ is indicated as Green Sand Filter (item 5, pages 1-2). /*If
this is incorrect, please submit an amended application
with the correct treatment type selected as soon as possible. */Please
let me know if an amended application is forthcoming. This permit is
scheduled to issue in early March./*
* Per our permitting strategy for water treatment plants,
facilities like Rand Meadows are required to monitor Total
Suspended Solids and Total Residual Chlorine at a minimum of
2/month. As a result, we cannot reduce this requirement to any
thing less frequent.
Thanks again for your participation in this NPDES permit renewal process. Also,
please let me know at your earliest if you will be submitting an amended NPDES

Dear Vanessa E. Manuel
After review of this draft permit there are a few discrepancies that I have noted.
✓ •
The draft permit indicates the filters as being greensand; however they are sand,
'd o,
"E •
garnet and anthracite.
The raw water inorganic chemical analysis (attached) shows the pH at 7.7 mg/l,
there is nothing in this process that would change the pH of the water where it
• P!i �J� ¢czv,a ✓
would be t6.0 or >9-0, therefore I am requesting that the pH not be a requirement
as the other NPDES permits don't require this. This seems to be an added
expense that we shouldn't have to incur.
•
On the August 27, 2004 permit Fluoride was listed with a footnote M. Fluoride
�r��c kd rap <ne2�
should be monitored if the Permittee fluoridates its finished water
/
product." which we do not. The new draft permit footnote states "2. Fluoride
should be monitored if the permittee uses chlorine at the facility."
We do not treat any type of fluoride; however we do treat Sodium Hypochlorite
for disinfection. The raw water inorganic chemical analysis (attached) shows the
fluoride well below the MCL; therefore I am requesting that the fluoride be
removed from the permit as this is just an added expense that we shouldn't have
S%AtS /•
to incur.
Total Zinc can be removed from the permit at we do not add zinc -based additives
in the water treatment process.
•
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) - would it be possible to sample this on a monthly
5%yS
basis with everything else or is there a specific reason this is sampled 2/monthly.
•
_?6
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) — would it be possible to sample this on a monthly
cy
basis with everything else or is there a specific reason this is sampled 2/monthly.
Please
consider the above listed comments concerning this draft permit, if you have any
questions you can contact me @ 919-625-2485 or [e-mail] .

The sludge removal will consist of passing filter backwash water through a sand filter bed which
in turn goes to effluent stream discharge. Sludge management for this facility consists of the
raking of sludge from, the sand filter and haul to a landfill by Aqua North Carolina, Inc. The
removal service will occur regularly on an as needed basis as determined by Aqua North
Carolina, Inc. operating personnel.
Sludge Collection and Disposal shall conform to 40 CFR 503 of the Clean Water Act.
Every shipment of sludge will be recorded in a log book. This log book will provide a record of:
