Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit
NCO021423
Spruce Pine WWTP
Mitchell County
Dear Mr. Canipe:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject
permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is
issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency dated May 9,1994 (or as subsequently amended).
This final permit contains the following significant changes from the draft you were sent on July
19, 2006:
➢ The 0.5 MGD flow tier will remain in effect until a 12-month (calendar year) average flow
exceeds 0.45 MGD.
Please note that the draft hermit contained two maior items that were not noted in the cover
letter. A 2.0 pg/L cadmium limit was added based on reasonable potential for levels present in your
effluent to cause an exceedance of acute water quality criteria. This requirement applies at both flow
tiers, however the 0.5 MGD tier requires monitoring twice per month while the 2.0 MGD tier
requires weekly monitoring. Also, an annual priority pollutant scan was added at both tiers. By
performing this scan concurrent with your toxicity test (at different times of the year), you will be
able to collect sufficient data for the new renewal application required by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA).
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within
thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition,
conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless
such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The
Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not
affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of
1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone (919) 733-7015 FAX (919) 733-0719 NorthCarolina

A. (3) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 6.6%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly 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 Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent
versions. The tests will be performed during the months of February, May, August and November. 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 II 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 If 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:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section 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 chemical/physical 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 Section 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.
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 6.6%.

I. Proposed Changes Incorporated into Permit Renewal
• Delete mercury monitoring due to lack of reasonable potential
• Add daily maximum cadmium limit.
• Increase copper monitoring to align with requirements for class III facilities.
• Add page for 12-month average flow up to 0.5 MGD.
• Remove instream fecal monitoring based on Instream Conductivity and Fecal Coliform
Monitoring Guidance.
• Add annual PPA at both tiers.
II. Summary
The Spruce Pine W WTP is a 2 MGD facility discharging to North Toe River, a C Trout
waterbody. This segment of the North Toe River was newly added to the state's draft 2006
303(d) List due to aquatic life impairment based on turbidity standard violations and impaired
biological integrity. No potential sources were listed.
The WWTP has a modified pretreatment program with only one SIU. Bombardier Motor
Company manufactures aluminum motors and discharges approximately 18,000 gpd from two
outfalls. Based on the requirements of their STMP, they were last required to monitor in 1999
and the next cycle begins in 2010. Therefore no pretreatment data was used in this analysis.
III. Compliance Summar
DMR Data Review
Monthly average DMR data was reviewed for the period of January 2003 through February 2006.
A summary of this data is included in Table 1. During this period the facility experienced
average monthly flows at 16% capacity and maximum monthly average flows at 20% capacity.
NPDES Permit Fact Sheet - 09/26/06 Town of Spruce Pine
Page 2 NCO021423
The regional office has indicated that the facility recently repaired an I/I problem in the collection
system and as a result the flows are expected to decrease by an additional 10%. The regional
office did not anticipate that average flows would increase in the foreseeable future. A limits
page will be added containing monitoring requirements for a class II facility and will remain in
effect as long as a 6-month consecutive average remains below 0.5 MGD.

Instream Data Review
Instream data from January 2005 through March 2006 is summarized in Table 2. From this data it
appears that the discharge has very little, if any, effect on the receiving stream. The facility
currently has instream monitoring requirements to align with those for class III facilities. On the
0.5 MGD tier, these requirements will be reduced to weekly, year-round to align with
requirements for class II facilities. Instream fecal coliform monitoring will be removed at both
tiers since the waterbody is not impaired due to coliform.

RPA Analysis
RPAs were performed for mercury, zinc, copper, and cadmium. Mercury monitoring will be
removed from the permit due to a lack of reasonable potential for levels of this parameter to
cause an exceedance of water quality standards. Copper and zinc monitoring will remain in the
permit based on effluent levels and the fact that these are action level parameters. The frequency
of copper monitoring will be increased to align with zinc monitoring.
The highest reported cadmium concentration was well above both the acute and chronic
allowable concentrations. The acute criterion is more stringent therefore a daily maximum limit
will be added to the permit.
WET Test Results
The Spruce Pine WWTP has a chronic WET test requirement at 6.6%effluent concentration. They
have passed 19/19 tests administered since February 2002.

The facility has not had a permit limit violation since November 2002. In late 2002 there were
several mercury limit violations that lead to an enforcement case, but the issue has been resolved.
Mercury data reviewed since 9/2003 (since the facility switched to Method 1631) yields a
maximum predicted concentration of 31.9 ng/L versus an allowable concentration of 180 ng/L.

ASHEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE COMMENTS
A (Cd) Cadmium limit has been added (2.0 ug/1) and the frequency of monitoring
increased from 2/month to weekly; with no explanation. Therefore, I assume this
is in error and should reflect the last permit's requirement for Cd monitoring of
2/month with no limit.
The Annual Pollutant Scan has been added to the permit with no explanation to
the permittee about the need for this new requirement; there is no mention of this
addition in the cover letter. The permittee should be given an explanation for this
new requirement.
The 0.5 MGD flow tier needs a statement at the top of the page regarding when
this tier is effective. The same comment applies to the 2.0 MGD tier page.

I think it is a great idea. How about making it 6 months average flow. I don't think their flow is going to
increase unless they increase their I&I on purpose.
FYI - I got a call from Spruce Pine last month, letting me know that they had repaired an I&I problem in
their collection system. The result of the repair was a 10% reduced flow to the WWTP.
Thanks

Hi Larry,
I'm drafting the permit for the Spruce Pine WWTP. It looks like their flows are really low. They are
permitted for 2 MGD and their highest monthly average flow for the past few years has been 0.4
MGD. They are a class III facility but I could give them a limits page with reduced monitoring (for
class II facilities) as long as they are under 0.5 MGD. I received a similar request recently from
another facility and I think I worded it so that they could do the reduced monitoring as long as a
four month average was under 0.5 MGD. Mike Mickey recommended the 4 -month average in that
case.
Thoughts?

SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION INFORMATION
PART E. TOXICITY TESTING DATA.
POTWs meeting one or more of the following criteria must provide the results of whole effluent toxicity tests for acute or chronic toxicity for each of the
facility's discharge points: 1) POTWs with a design flow rate greater than or equal to 1.0 mgd; 2) POTWs with a pretreatment program (or those that are
required to have one under 40 CFR Part 403); or 3) POTWs required by the permitting authority to submit data for these parameters.
• At a minimum, these results must include quarterly testing for a 12-month period within the past 1 year using multiple species (minimum of two
species), or the results from four tests performed at least annually in the four and one-half years prior to the application, provided the results
show no appreciable toxicity, and testing for acute and/or chronic toxicity, depending on the range of receiving water dilution. Do not include
information on combined sewer overflows in this section. All information reported must be based on data collected through analysis conducted
using 40 CFR Part 136 methods. In addition, this data must comply with QA/QC requirements of 40 CFR Part 136 and other appropriate QA/OC
requirements for standard methods for analytes not addressed by 40 CFR Part 136.
• In addition, submit the results of any other whole effluent toxicity tests from the past four and one-half years. If a whole effluent toxicity test
conducted during the past four and one-half years revealed toxicity, provide any information on the cause of the toxicity or any results of a
toxicity reduction evaluation, if one was conducted.
• If you have already submitted any of the information requested in Part E, you need not submit it again. Rather, provide the information
requested in question EA for previously submitted information. If EPA methods were not used, report the reasons for using alternate methods.
If test summaries are available that contain all of the information requested below, they may be submitted in place of Part E.
If no biomoniloring data is required, do not complete Part E. Refer to the Application Overview for directions on which other sections of the form to
complete.
