HomeMy WebLinkAboutNC0049662_Fact Sheet_20190319FACT SHEET FOR EXPEDITED PERMIT RENEWALS This form must be completed by Permit Writers for all expedited permits which do not require full Fact Sheets. Expedited permits are generally simple 100% domestics (e.g., schools, mobile home parks, etc) that can be administratively renewed with minor changes, but can include facilities with more complex issues (Special Conditions, 303(d) listed water, toxicity testing, instream monitoring, compliance concerns). Basic Information for Expedited Permit Renewals Permit Writer / Date Brianna Young 1/14/19 Permit Number NCO049662 Facility Name / Facility Class Hawthorne WWTP / WW-2 Basin Name / Sub -basin number Neuse / 03-04-01 Receiving Stream / HUC Upper Barton Creek / 0302020106 Stream Classification / Stream Segment WS-IV; NSW / 27-15- 1 Does permit need Daily Maximum NH3 limits?

See below Any permit mods since last permit? Yes; Modification requested for a bubble permit with Wildwood Green WWTP C0063614 New expiration date 1/31/2023 Comments on Draft Permit? Yes; see below Aqua North Carolina, Inc. has requested a bubble permit between Hawthorne WWTP (NC0049662) and Wildwood Green WWTP (NC0063614) for nutrient limits. Compliance history (January 2014-January 2019): • 1 NOV and 7 enforcement cases for fecal coliform daily max exceedances • 3 NOVs and 20 enforcement cases for TN violations • 10 enforcement cases for TP violations • NOVs and enforcement cases for other parameters Impairment listing: Upper Barton Creek From source to a point 0.5 mile upstream of Wake County SR 1844 27-15-(1) WS-IV;NSW 4.9 FW Miles Assessment Criteria Status Reason for Rating Parameter of Interest IR Category Exceeding Criteria Fair Benthos (Nar, AL, FW) 5 Changes from previous permit to draft: • Updated outfall map • Added facility grade in A(1) • Added receiving stream characteristics to Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet • Removed 8.0 mg/l TN limit in A(1) • Removed 5.5 mg/1 annual average TN limit in A(1) • Removed 1.0 mg/1 TP limit in A(1) • Removed 0.5 mg/1 annual average TP limit in A(1) • Added TP Load monitoring in A(1) • Updated footnote #5 in A(1) to address both TN and TP • Removed former footnote #6 in A(1) stating "Annual Average = The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year." • Removed former footnote #7 in A(1) stating "This limit will expire on December 31, 2018." • Added new footnote #6 in A(1) stating "The facility is subject to nutrient limitations as specified in Special Condition A. (2) Combined Limitations for Nutrients — Outfall COL" • Added new A(2) Combined Limitations for nutrients to address bubble limits for both TN and TP • Updated A(3) (formerly A[2]) Calculation of TN loads to address bubble limits for both TN and TP • Updated A(4) (formerly A[3]) to address bubble limits for both TN and TP • Updated A(5) (formerly A[4]) to address bubble limits for both TN and TP Changes from draft to final: • Parameter codes updated in A(1) to the correct ones • Stream class on map corrected • TRC monitoring frequency in A(1) updated to daily to match that specified in A(6) • TN sample type in A(1) updated from composite to calculated to be in line with other Neuse basin permits Comments received on draft permit: Allen Hardy (PWS; via email 12/14/19) • Each permit calls out the other in the "Combined Limitations For Nutrients- Outfall COI" and several other places. This is the first time I have ever seen one permit call out another permit. Seems a little strange to do that but I'm sure there is a reason. Just an observation. o DWR Response: The permits are supposed to call each other out as there are connections between the two regarding the nutrient limits. Amanda Berger (Aqua North Carolina 1/15/19) 9 Reviewed and concur with the draft permit. Vanessa Manuel (RRO; via email 1/4/19) • Section A. (1) Effluent Limits Page o Total Monthly Flow - The sample location for Total Monthly Flow is reflected as Effluent while the sample location for Flow is Influent or Effluent. Since Total Monthly Flow is a summation of the flow for the month, shouldn't the Total Monthly Flow sample location be the same as the Flow? ■ DWR Response: After speaking with other staff, the permit should remain as is. o Total Residual Chlorine - Section A. (6) requires the permittee to monitor TRC daily when chlorine is used as a temporary means of disinfection. Given this, the effluent limits page should reflect this requirement instead of 2/Week. ■ DWR Response: The effluent table has been updated to reflect the daily monitoring requirement given in A(6). o TKN Parameter Code - The parameter code for TKN should be corrected to reflect 00625. BIMS does not have a parameter as CO625. ■ DWR Response: The parameter codes have been updated. o Nitrite -Nitrate Parameter Code - The parameter code for NO2-N + NO3-N should be corrected to reflect 00630. BIMS does not have a parameter as CO630. ■ DWR Response: The parameter codes have been updated. o Total Nitrogen (TN) - Since TN is a calculated value determined from the analyses of TKN and Nitrite + Nitrate, the sample type should be reflected as Calculated instead of Composite. ■ DWR Response: TN has been corrected to state "Calculated" to follow other Neuse basin permits. o TP Load - The parameter codes for the monthly and annual analyses should be QM665 and QY665 respectively, instead of QM600 and QY600. ■ DWR Response: The parameter codes have been updated. • Section A. (3) Calculation & Reporting Nutrient Loads Subparagraph c (Reporting Combined Nutrient Discharge Loads) - In order for the permittee to be able to electronically report both the facility's annual nutrient loads and the combined annual discharge nutrient loads, two parameter codes for the annual discharge loads will be required ... one for the facility's annual load, which we currently have as QY..., and one for the combined load. You will need to speak with Charles so a request can be made to the BIMS group. Without the 2nd parameter code, the combined annual load data cannot be added to eDMR or BIMS. o Updated comments via email 1/7/19: A 2nd parameter code is not needed if a separate outfall will be used for the combined nutrient limits. o DWR Response: Per previous discussion, a separate outfall is being created for both permits so a 2nd parameter code is not needed. • Discharge Map - The stream class description should be corrected to reflect WS- IV; NSW instead of WS-IV; NW. o DWR response: The map has been updated.

(AQUA) is submitting permit modification requests for mass load combined (bubble) permit limits for Hawthorne WWTP (NPDES NC0049662) and Wildwood Green WWTP (NPDES NC0063614). Specific requests, with justification, are listed below: 1. AQUA requests that the annual load nutrient allocation between the two facilities be combined into a single annual nutrient load allocation. Effective January 1, 2019, Wildwood Green is permitted based on 0.1 MGD of flow and a 5.5 mg/l TN annual average concentration limit. Hawthorne is currently permitted based on 0.25 MGD of flow and a 5.5 mg/l TN average annual concentration limit. It is requested that these be combined into a single TN mass loading limit of 5860 pounds per year - (5.5 mg per 1 * 8.34 # per gal * (0.25 MGD +0.1 MGD)*365 days per year). Similarly, it is requested that a single TP mass loading limit of 533 pounds per year be set for the combined limit. 2. With respect to the monthly limits based on an 8.0 mg/l TN concentration and to minimize the risk of a localized nutrient impact, it is requested that the Wildwood Green TN monthly limit be set at 203 pounds per month - (8 mg/l *8.34 #per gal * 0.1MGD * 365 days per year / 12 months per year). Similarly, the Hawthorne TN monthly limit would be set at 507 pounds per month. It is also requested that the respective monthly TP mass limit for Wildwood Green be set at 25.4 pounds per month, and for Hawthorne set at 63.3 pounds per month. 15A NCAC 02B .0279 (7)(c)(ii) specifically provides that the Director shall set mass limits upon discharge request. With respect to combining or "bubbling" permit limits, this has been done for municipal NPDES facilities and would seem especially appropriate for small facilities located approximately 15,000 feet apart. 202 MacKenan Court Cary, NC 27511 • O: 919.467.8712 • F: 919.460.1788 • AquaArnerica.corn Page Two Mr. John Hennessey June 2018 AOUA,, If there are any questions or concerns with our request, lease do not hesitate to contact me at aaowens a uaamerica.com or 919-653-6965.
