Subject: NPDES Permit`Correction-DRAFT Review
Permit NC0051373
Perquimans County WTP#2—Winfall,PC-1
109 Milton Grove Road,Winfall
Perquimans County
Dear Mr. Lolies:
The Division of Water Resources(DWR)and Perquimans County Water Department(PCWD)recently
concurred that the subject permit needs correcting.The receiving-stream, an unnamed tributary(UT)to
Mill Creek has historically been permitted in error connecting to stream-segment 30-6-5-(1),when in fact
it connects to segment 30-6-5-(2)further downstream.
This correction is significant in that it alters the receiving-stream classification from freshwater(C;
Swamp)to saltwater(SC)under tidal conditions.It follows that these two stream classes are governed by
different Rules thus requiring a permit adjustment and additional Public Notice under the Program.
To this end DWR hereby transmits a correction draft for your review and comment.Please review this
draft carefully to ensure your understanding of new permit limits and monitoring conditions,and to
correct errors,if any.
Concurrent with this notification,the Division will solicit public comment on this draft by publishing a
notice in newspapers having circulation in the general Perquimans County area,as required by the
NPDES Program.Please provide your written comments,if any,to DENR/DWR/NPDES Program no
later than February 12,2019(approximately 30 days after receiving this document).Your written
comments are welcome but are not mandatory.
PERMIT CORRECTIONS AND REVISIONS
Considering a discharge revised from,freshwater to saltwater,the Division has re-run the reasonable
potential analyses(RPA)to re-establish limits and monitoring, and applied permit changes as:
1. Total Zinc data do_not show reasonable potential but are reported at levels>than 50% `
of allowable,therefore monitoring Quarterly is still required—no changes
recommended.
2. Total Chloride previously limited for freshwater—now saltwater,no longer
requires permit limits;monitoring only required for Ion Exchange(IE)technology;
3. Total Copper stricter permit limits are required for saltwater per revised RPA and
therefore are revised from 7.88 MA/10.47 DM to 3.7 MA/5.8 DM µg/L);

4. Because the Permittee did not conduct a Discharge Alternatives Evaluation (DAE)or
submit a report in compliance to previous Special Condition A. (3),this condition
remains in the permit with a deadline of permit expiration.
5. Whole Effluent Toxicity(WET)testing is hereby revised from TG3PB [chronic for
freshwater] to TGP3E [chronic for saltwater] in compliance with the revised outfall
discharge to class SC waters;
6. Considering the Permittees inability to pass WET-testing(-18 past Quarterly tests"fail"
to date),they have asked for guidance on changing test-species.The Division's Aquatic
Toxicology Branch(ATB)requires that any request for species change must first
document instream tidal salinity not-to-exceed 5.0 ppth.The Division therefore includes
the following Optional- Special Condition A. (4.).This condition provides methods to
evaluate the viability of alternative WET-test species [quoted here as follows].
A. (4.) OPTION- TO EVALUATE SALINITY IN TIDAL WATERS
[G.S. 143-215.3(A)(2)]
The Permittee has requested the Division to consider altering the designated test species for Whole
Effluent Toxicity(WET)in tidal waters classified SC.In support of this permitting request,the
Permittee must establish receiving-stream conditions over time.
To this end [optional],the Permittee may collect receiving-stream samples to establish Salinity and
Conductivity concentrations that accurately document 24-hour tidal and seasonal tidal variations in
accord with DWR's Memorandum, Changes in Toxicity Testing Requirements in Water Treatment
Plant Permitting Strategies, Cindy Moore,Aquatic Toxicology Unit(ATU),June 11,2012.
The Permittee shall establish the location for tidal-testing in cooperation with the Washing Regional
Office(WaRO)with fmal approval of sampling location and testing protocol by the ATU. Having
concluded these analyses,the Permittee may petition the Division's NPDES Unit to alter WET-
testing species, as data may warrant.
Following the mandatory 45-day public comment period, the Division will review all pertinent
comments, if any, and take appropriate action prior to issuing an NPDES permit final. If you have
questions concerning this draft,please e-mail me [joe.cor-poron@n denr.gov], or call my direct
line (919) 707-3617. 1

USE OF A DIFFERENT TEST OGANISM
The permittee may request the use of a different test organism upon documentation that the alternate test
organism would provide an equal or greater level of protection and is appropriate based on the
characteristics of the discharge and receiving stream. Such documentation would consist of one of the
three following:
1. For saltwater classified streams, a fathead minnow may be assigned as the acute testing
species if the salinity of the receiving stream at the point of discharge is< 5 ppth throughout
the tidally influenced cycle. This determination may be based on the best professional
judgment of DWR staff or data collection provided by the permittee and approved by DWR
staff. This evaluation should include vertical profiles of salinity/conductivity measurements
at both high tide and low tide over several 24-hr cycles.
2. Three consecutive"side-by-side"tests with results indicating that the alternate test
organism is as sensitive or more sensitive to the facility's effluent. Each test series would
consist of two separate toxicity tests conducted on the same sample of effluent with the
length of exposure specified by the permit, the only difference between the tests being the
organism used.
Page 5 of 9
Permit NC0051373
3. An alternate plan developed by the permittee and approved by the Aquatic Toxicology
Unit that demonstrates an equal level of protection is offered by the test organism.
For items 2 and 3, it must also be demonstrated that viable and standardized culture techniques are
available for that organism and standardized testing methodologies have been developed and validated.
This demonstration should meet guidance provided by EPA in Section 6 of EPA-821-R-02-012, "Short
Term Methods for Estimating the Acute Toxicity of Effluents and Receiving Waters to Freshwater
Organisms, Fifth Edition 2002."
Requests to use a different test organism and supporting documentation should be sent to North Carolina

The Permittee shall assess potential alternatives to eliminate Whole Effluent Toxicity(WET)test failures. This
evaluation shall assess the feasibility of all the fol owing alternaties'[see4. (4.) for rela option].
1. Connect discharge to a WWTP:Determine whetherthe wastewater can be discharged to a wastewater
treatment plant.Approval or disapprovalrom the�plant\per��should be acquired.
2. Obtain a Non-discharge permit:,Eliminate the surface water discharge by obtaining a non-discharge
permit for spray irrigation,infiltration, or subsurface di posal(on-site drainfield,infiltration gallery,
injection wells). \
3. Install Wastewater Tr reatment: Instal" 1 imp ove \te�vater treatment to enable the facility effluent to
consistently pass the/VET tes .' this is not techr c 9feasible or cost prohibitive,please explain and
provide estimated\\sts.
\ \
4. Use Alternative Water Treatment Source:\Obtain drinking water from another source(nearest County,
City,or Town or other\w\l\) so the\dIi�harge>or toxicity problem is eliminated.
5. Use Alternative Water Treatment Method: Install alternative and/or innovative water treatment
methods or operational improvements/Ehat do not produce toxic wastewaters.For example,install a recycle
iron/manganese filtration systemy-ifh no discharge or combine discharge with WWTP or cooling water
effluents.
6. Discharge to a Larger waterbody/Perform a dilution model: Relocate the facility's discharge to a
larger receiving waterbody to eliminate or reduce toxic impacts to the receiving waterbody given the
increased dilution.If applicable,perform a dilution model to receive allowance for stream dilution in WET
test.
7. Combination of Alternatives: Employ any combination of the alternatives listed above that would result
in eliminating or decreasing toxicity until a more feasible solution becomes available.
The evaluation shall include a present value of costs analysis for all technologically feasible options as outlined
in the Division's"Engineering Alternatives Analysis Guidance Document."This Document can be found at:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ps/npdes/permits.
This evaluation is being requested to determine whether there are any economical and technologically feasible
alternatives available to the Permittee to address aquatic toxicity in the plant effluent.Based upon the evaluation,
please identify viable alternatives and present an implementation schedule and project timeline for the preferred
alternative. The Permittee shall submit the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation to the Division along with the
submission of their next permit renewal application(due 6 months prior to permit expiration on June 30,
