Existing limits for conventional parameters will be renewed at present levels, any new limits will be assessed once the lower basin model is completed -(next renewal). - Metal limits will be revised if pretreatment information indicates a need. -Industrial flow is 2.8%. - Wilmington has requested that they be exempted from the 85% removal. Wilmington is presently adjudicating to change % removal and this will be worked in the renewal when a decision is made (Contact Rosanne Barona). Reg. 40 CFR 133.103 (d). - Wilmington has -requested that they receive a pH range of 6-9 rather than the present.range of 6.8 - 8.5. The receiving stream, the Cape Fear River, is classified SC and the narrower range is appropriate. Two nearby ambient data stations.provide estimates of pH in the Cape Fear River.

Marker'50 near Wilmington: Ave. pH: 7.20 (1985-90, n=26) Effluent -Data shows that pH ranges from 6.0 to 7.4. Ed Beck of the Wilmington. regional Office suggests giving a range of 6.0 to 8.5. This range will still protect water quality and will allow Wilmington to comply with this limit. -Toxicity Requirement. Fathead Minnow Acute Toxicity was recommended because the system is tidal.

(a) Combined sewers. Treatment works subject to this part may not be capable of meeting the percentage re- moval requirementsestablished under §§ 133.102(a)(3) and 133.102(b)(3), or §§ 133.105(a)(3) and 133.105(b)(3) during wet weather where the treat- ment works receive flows from com- bined sewers (i.e., sewers which are de- signed to transport both storm water and sanitary sewage). For such treat- ment works, the decision must be made on a case -by -case basis as to whether any attainable percentage re- moval level can be defined, and if so, what the level should be. (b) Industrial wastes. For certain In- dust catriaT egories, the discharge to navigable waters of BOD, and SS per- mitted under sections 301(b)(1)(AM), (b)(2)(E) or 306 of the Act may be less stringent than the values given in §§ 133.102(a)(1), 133.102(a)(4)(t), 133.102(b)(1), 133.105(a)(1), 133.105(b)(1) and 133.105(e)(1)(i). In cases when wastes would be intro- duced from such an industrial catego- ry into a publicly owned treatment works, the values for BOD, and SS in §§ 133.102(a)(1), 133.102(a)(4)(1), 133.102(b)(1), 133.105(a)(1), 133.105(b)(1), and 133.105(e)(1)(i) may be adjusted upwards provided that: (1) The permitted discharge of such pol- lutants, aE rI u a le to the industrial category, would not be greater than that which would bepermittedunder sections 301(b)(1)(A)(t), 301(b)(2)(E) or 306 of the Act if such industrial cate- gory were to discharge directly into the navigable waters, and (2) the flow or loading of such pollutants intro- duced by the industrial category ex- ceeds 10 permnLof the design flow or oa mr—g 67 the publ c y oii wned_rr ment works. When such an adjust- ment is made, the values for BOD, or SS in §§ 133.102(a)(2), 133.102(a)(4)(ii), § 133.102(b)(2), 133.105(a)(2), 133.105(b)(2), and 133.105(e)(1)(ii) should be adjusted proportionately. (c) Waste stabilization ponds. The Regional Administrator, or, if appro- priate, State .Director subject to EPA approval, is authorized to adjust the 93-I33 0-87-3 § 133.103 minimum levels of effluent quality set .forth in § 133.105 (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3) for treatment works subject to this part, to conform to the SS concen- trations achievable with waste stabili- zation ponds, provided that: (1) Waste stabllzation ponds are the principal process used for secondary treatment; and (2) operation and maintenance data indicate that the SS values speci- fied in § 133.105 (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3) cannot be achieved. The term "SS concentrations achievable with waste stabilization ponds" means a SS value, determined by the Regional Ad- ministrator, or, if appropriate, State Director subject to EPA approval, which is equal to the effluent concen- tration achieved 90 percent of the time within a State or appropriate contiguous geographical area by waste stabilization ponds that are achieving the levels of effluent quality for BOD, specified in § 133.105(a)(1). [cf. 43 PR 552791. (d) Less concentrated influent wastewater for separate sewers. The Regional Administrator or, if appro- priate, State Director is authorized to substitute either a lower percent re- moval requirement or a mass loading limit for the percent removal require- ments set forth in §§ 133.102(a)(3), 133.102(a)(4)(iii), 133.102(b)(3), 102.105(a)(3), 133.105(b)(3) and 133.105(e)(1)(iii) provided that the permittee satisfactorily demonstrates that: (1) The treatment works is con- sistently meeting, or will consistently meet, its permit effluent concentra- tion limits but its percent removal re- quirements cannot be met due to less concentrated influent wastewater, (2) to meet the percent removal require- ments, the treatment works would have to achieve significantly more stringent limitations than would oth- erwise be required by the concentra- tion -based standards, and (3) .the less concentrated influent wastewater is not the result of excessive I/I. The de- termination of whether the less con- centrated wastewater is the result of excessive I/I will use the definition of excessive I/I in 40 CPR 35.2005(b)(16) plus the additional criterion that inflow is nonexcessive if the total flow to the POTW (i.e., wastewater plus 247 § 133.104 inflow plus infiltration) is less than 275 gallons per capita per day. 149 FR 37006, Sept. 20, 1984, as amended at 50 FR 23387, June 3, 1985: 50 FR 36880, Sept. 10, 19851 9 133.104 Sampling and test procedures. (a) Sampling and test procedures for Pollutants listed in this part shall be in accordance with guidelines promul- gated by the Administrator in 40 CFR Part 136. (b) Chemical oxygen demand (COD) or total organic carbon (TOC) may be substituted for BOD, when a long- term BOD:COD or BOD:TOC correla- tion has been demonstrated. § 133.105 Treatment equivalent to second. ary treatment. This section describes the minimum level of effluent quality attainable by facilities eligible for treatment equiva. lent to secondary treatment (i 133.101(g)) in terms of the param- eters—BOD,, SS and pH. All require- ments for the specified parameters in Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this sec- tion shall be achieved except as pro- vided for in § 133.103, or paragraphs (d), (e) or (f) of this section. (a) BOD,. (1) The 30-day average shall not exceed 45 mg/l. (2) The 7-day average shall not exceed 65 mg/1. (3) The 30-day average percent re- moval shall not be less than 65 per- cent. (b) SS. Except where SS values have been adjusted in accordance with § 133.103(c). (1) The 30-day average shall not exceed 45 mg/l. (2) The 7-day average shall not exceed 65 mg/l. (3) The 30-day average percent re- moval shall not be less than 65 per- cent. (c) pH. - The requirements of § 133.102(c) shall be met. (d) Alternative State requirements. Except as limited by paragraph (f) of this section, and after notice and op- portunity for public comment, the Re- gional Administrator, or, if appropri- ate, State Director subject to EPA ap- proval, is authorized to adjust the minimum levels of effluent quality set forth in paragraphs (a)(1), (a)(2), 40 CFR Ch. 1 (7-1-87 Edition (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this section fe trickling filter facilities and in part graphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this sectio: for waste stabilization pond facilities to conform to the BOD, and SS efflt ent concentrations consistently achiel able through proper operation an maintenance (§ 133.301(f)) by - tii median (50th percentile) facility W-. representative sample of facilitie within a State or appropriate contiga ous geographical area that meetth definition of facilities eligible fo treatment equivalent to secondar, treatment (§ 133.101(g)). (The information collection requirement contained in this rule have been approve. by OMB and assigned control number 2040 0051.) (e) CBOD, limitations: (1) Where data are available to es tablish CBOD, limitations for a treat ment works subject to this section, thi NPDES permitting authority may sub stitute the parameter CBOD, for thi Parameter BOD, In §§ 133.105(a)(1) 133.105(a)(2) and 133.105(a)(3), on i case -by -case basis provided that thi levels of CBOD, effluent' quality an not less stringent than the following:., (i) The 30-day average shall not exceed 40 mg/l. (ii) The 7-days average shall not exceed 60 mg/1. (lii) The 30-day average percent re moval shall not be less than 65 per cent.

(f) Permit adjustments. Any permit adjustment made pursuant to this part may not be any less stringent than the limitations required pursuant to § 133.105(a)-(e). Furthermore, per- mitting authorities shall require more stringent limitations when adjusting Permits if: (1) Par existing facilities the permitting authority determines that the 30-day average and 7-day av- erage BOD, and SS effluent values that could be achievable through 248
