Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NC0088561
Ahoskie WWTP
Hertford County
Grade IV Biological WPCS
SIC Code 4952
Dear Mr. Rowe:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the Draft NPDES permit renewal for your facility. Please
review this draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the requirements and conditions it
contains. There are several changes from the existing permit, including the following:
• Based on NPDES Guidance for Reduced Monitoring Frequencies for Facilities with
Superior Compliance, the Division has approved the reduction of monitoring for BOD5,
Total Suspended Solids,NH3-N and Fecal Coliform to twice per week in the permit.
• Based on the reasonable potential analysis (RPA) results, quarterly monitoring for zinc
has been removed from the permit.
• As North Carolina has no water quality standard for iron, quarterly monitoring for iron
has been removed from the permit.
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A. (2.), Chronic Toxicity Permit
Limit,please review each paragraph carefully.
• To emphasize proper monitoring of total mercury, total mercury requirements have been
added to Section A.(1.).
• Special Condition A. (3.) has been modified to include the specific three years in which
the Effluent Pollutant Scan shall be performed (2020, 2021, 2022). In addition, at the end
of the Special Condition, 2nd species Toxicity Testing Requirements for municipal permit
renewals per Federal Regulations [40 CFR 122.21(j)(5)] have been added.
• In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0500, all data generated for Total Selenium and Total
Silver shall be reported to the lowest Practical Quantification Level (PQL) or to the lower
reporting level of the procedure. The latest list of the Division Laboratory's PQLs can be
accessed via the following link:

• The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by
the NC Environmental Management Committee(EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US
EPA subsequently approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016 with some exceptions.
The NC Division of Water Resources NPDES Permitting Unit is required to implement
the new dissolved metal standards in all permits public noticed after April 6, 2016. The
new standards for most metals include acute standards. Further,the freshwater standards
for several metals are expressed as the dissolved form of the metals, and seven metals
have hardness-dependent equations. As a result, the NPDES Permitting Unit will need
site-specific effluent hardness data and instream hardness data,upstream of the discharge,
for each facility monitoring these metals in order to calculate permit limitations. Effluent
hardness and instream hardness sampling,upstream of the discharge,have been added to
the permit at a monitoring frequency of quarterly [See A.(1.)].
• Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs) and program reports.The requirement to.continue reporting discharge monitoring
data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report(eDMR)
internet application has been added to your NPDES permit[See Special Condition A. (4.)].
• Parameter-codes have been added to the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements
[ See A. (1.)].
• Regulatory citations have been added to the permit.
The NPDES Standard Conditions (Parts II, III, and IV) are not included with this draft. The
latest version is available at https://bit.ly/2BZ4xxx and can be viewed online or downloaded as a
PDF file.
Concurrent with this notification the Division is publishing a notice in a newspaper having
circulation in the general Hertford County area, soliciting public comments on this draft permit.
Please provide any written comments you may have to the following: NCDEQ/DWR,NPDES
Permitting Branch, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,NC 27699-1617 no later than 30 days
after receipt of this draft permit.
Following the 30-day public comment period, the Division will review all pertinent comments
and take appropriate action prior to issuing a final permit. If you have questions concerning this
draft permit,please call me at(919) 707-3609 or by email at nick.coco@ncdenr.gov.
