CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIlVIIT (QUARTERLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 2.7 %. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterl monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase 11 Chronic Whole Effluent Tonicity Test Procedure' (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of March, .tune, September, and December. 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 11 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 I1 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, using the parameter code TGP313 for the pass/fail results and THP313 for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Water Resources 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemicaVphysical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top 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 Branch 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. 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 last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring. Page 4 of 7 Permit NCO021628 A. (3.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Division anticipates that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation in late 2013. NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits): • Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements • Section D. (2.) Reporting • Section D. (6.) Records Retention • Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports L Reporting [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.)

System Head Development The Return Activated Sludge (RAS) pumps were analyzed for two different flow scenarios. The first scenario was to assess a single pump's performance at the current average daily flow of approximately 0.40 million gallons per day (MGD), which is equivalent to approximately 280 gallons per minute (GPM). In this scenario, the piping was assumed to be new with a C value of 140. A system head curve was developed for the most restrictive one -pump conditions, with only one aeration basin in service. The second pump scenario assessed was for the design flow condition of 0.75 MGD. This scenario assumed three pumps will be in operation to provide a recycle ratio of 1.0 the average daily flow, which equates to approximately 520 GPM. These modeling efforts assumed that three of the four RAS pumps would be in service, and the piping was old, with the C value of 100. Also, for this scenario the most restrictive conditions were assumed, with only one aeration basin in service.

The WAS pumps will serve as the sludge wasting pumps during normal operating conditions, but will also have the ability to act as a drain pump for either of the secondary clarifiers. This will be accomplished through the use of a variable frequency drive and an isolation valve within the sludge pump station. The first scenario assessed, referred to as Scenario 1, was the WAS pumps serving as the WWTP waste pumps. In this scenario, a single WAS pump system head curve was developed to model the conveyance of sludge from the sludge pump station to the sludge drying bed. Piping was assumed to be new with a C value of 140. For the system head curve, this pump was represented by a pump operating at 1155 RPM. Scenario 2 was to assess the most restrictive operating conditions of a waste pump. When the WAS pumps are draining a clarifier, the water level drawdown will lead to higher head conditions, requiring the VFDs to increase the operating rate. This scenario was modeled assuming wastewater will be pumped from the sludge pump station and discharging in the Parshall flume. The most restrictive conditions were assumed, with old piping having a C value of 100. For the system head curve, this pump was represented by a pump operating at 1585 RPM.

In the Scenario 1, a single drain pump system head curve was developed to model the conveyance of drained unit process water from the drain pump station to an aeration basin with the piping assumed to be new with a C value of 140. The drain wet well was assumed to be full, and one RAS pump was assumed to be on, providing an additional flow of 290 gallons per minute through the shared force main. In Scenario 2, a single drain pump system head curve was developed to simulate the most restrictive operative conditions these pumps will undergo. For this scenario, the wet well was assumed to be empty, the piping was assumed to be old with a C value of 100, and three RAS pumps were assumed to be on, providing an additional flow of 520 GPM through the common force main.
