Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO074756
Greater Badin WWTP
Stanly County
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 includes the following changes from the draft permit sent to you on December
17, 2003.
➢ Monitoring (2/1VIonth) for fluoride and cyanide has been added due to the county's intent to begin
accepting landfill seepage from Alcoa.
➢ Quarterly monitoring for toxicity has been added due to the county's intent to begin accepting landfill
seepage from Alcoa.
➢ Chlorophyll a monitoring has been deleted from this permit. This monitoring is no longer required by the
basin plan since Lake Tillery is now classified as mesotrophic rather than eutrophic.
In the event that Alcoa does not connect to the Greater Badin W WTP and changes its plans for dealing with
its proposed discharge, Stanly County may request that the monitoring incorporated into this permit for toxicity,
fluoride, and cyanide be eliminated.
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 150E 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 Water Quality or permits required by the Division of
Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may
be required. If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Dawn Jeffries at telephone number
[phone], extension 595.

Permit No. NC007475r3
SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A (2). CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT MONITORING (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia
dubia at an effluent concentration of 77%.
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 II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will
be performed during the months of January, April, July, and October. 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 II 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 'paramete'r 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 Branch
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 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 Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required', monitoring will berequired
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.

SUMMARY
One hundred percent of this facility's wastewater is domestic in nature. The Greater Badin WWTP has
been having chronic problems meeting the flow limit and applied for an SOC in September 2003. They
have been granted money from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund to do most of the work that
needs to be done to correct Inflow & Infiltration problems. Work should begin within a few months.
The Greater Badin WWTP discharges into Little Mountain Creek. The stream is listed as impaired on
the 2003 303(d) list, but the cause of impairment is unknown. Little Mountain Creek is classified as
WS-IV waters from 0.5 miles upstream of Stanly County SR 1545 to Mountain Creek.
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY:
DMR's and correspondence files reveal no violations except for flow. The facility exceeded its monthly
flow limit for every month so far in 2003 except for January and September. In 2002, they exceeded the
flow limit 8 months out of the year. In 2001, 11 of 12 months exceeded the limit. 1998 and 1999
showed similar problems and they obtained an SOC to correct I & I problems. However, the high flow
continued. The permittee applied for another SOC in September of 2003 to try to correct the problem
again. They have received funding from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund to do most of the
work that needs to be done to reduce I & I and plan to begin work in a few months.
BOD limits at this facility are 20/30 mg/l. It usually operates at less than 7.0 mg/l. Ammonia nitrogen
limits are 1.2/3.0 mg/l, and it usually attains levels less than 1.0 mg/I year-round.
INSTREAM MONITORING:
Instream monitoring has been waived because of membership in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin
Association.
PROPOSED CHANGES:
• Add ammonia nitrogen weekly average limits (3.6/9.0 mg/1).
Gretaer Kadin Wa,tewater Treatment Plant Fact Sheet
NPDFS KcnewW
Paee l

• Change monitoring requirement for ammonia nitrogen and total residual chlorine to 3/week as
required (213 .0500) for class III facilities.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Stanly Counties Utilities has requested that we consider, as ;part of the renewal process, the possibility of
Badin WWTP accepting some wastewater from ALCOA. This would include cooling tower discharge
and landfill groundwater seepage. Due to their chronic compliance problems for flow, no additional
flow will be allowed at this time. When the problems with flow have been resolved, the county can
resubmit their request.

4.0 mg/l between June 1998 and August 2001. The Town of Denton WWTP discharge was
relocated from the unnamed tributary to Lick Creek mainstem in 2000.
2002 Recommendations
DWQ will continue to monitor Lick Creek and the unnamed tributary to Lick Creek to evaluate
improvements following the upgrade of the Denton WWTP. However, local actions are needed
to reduce the effects of nonpoint source pollution, particularly from agricultural activities in the
watershed.
8.2.2 Little Mountain Creek (7.0 miles from source to Mountain Creek)
1998 Recommendations
Streamflow in the Little Mountain Creek watershed is naturally very low in the summer months
and smaller tributaries often stop flowing completely. Problems with low dissolved oxygen were
thought to be contributing to biological impairment in 1998. Low instream dissolved oxygen
concentrations had been reported by the Greater Badin WWTP. There were also historical
concerns with toxicity in Alcoa stormwater and cooling water discharges to an unnamed tributary
of Little Mountain Creek. The 1998 basin plan recommended that any new or expanding
discharges to the Little Mountain Creek watershed receive advanced tertiary limits for oxygen -
consuming wastes. Local efforts to reduce nonpoint source pollution in the watershed were also
recommended.
Status of Progress
Benthic macroinvertebrate surveys in Little Mountain Creek continued to indicate impairment in
2001. The stream had relatively good habitat; however, conductivity was high and dissolved
oxygen was slightly low. The Alcoa aluminum production facility closed in 2002 and no longer
discharges to the Little Mountain Creek watershed.
2002 Recommendations
4 DWQ plans to conduct further investigation into the causes and sources of the biological
impairment of Little Mountain Creek during this basinwide planning cycle. DWQ will notify
�t+ u local agencies of water quality concerns regarding these waters and work with them to conduct
4 further monitoring and to locate sources of water quality protection funding.
�r N4, 4 Water Quality Improvement Initiatives
The Mountain Creek watershed, including Little Mountain Creek, (03040104 010010) is one of
55 watersheds in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River basin that has been identified by the NC Wetlands
Restoration Program (NCWRP) as an area with the greatest need and opportunity for stream and
wetland restoration efforts. This watershed will be given higher priority than a nontargeted
watershed for the implementation of NCWRP restoration projects. Refer to page 278 in Section
C for details.

Subject: Lake Tillery
Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2004 10:29:18 -0500
From: Dianne Reid <[e-mail]>
To: Dawn Jeffries <dawn [e-mail]>
Couldn't find anything in our files that specifically addressed requiring CBL-a in Badin's Little Mountain
Creek discharge. Lake Tillery was at one time classified as eutrophic; however, since 1983 our NCTSI
rating has classified it as mesotrophic. Nothing in our data indicates that problems in Lake Tillery
necessitate monitoring of chlorophyll a in Little Mountain Creek.
No problem with removing the requirement.
Out of curiosity, what range of chl-a concentrations were they recording? Is this self -monitoring data
available electronically? Reason I asked is that we are looking at possibly developing a criteria for
managing nutrients in free flowing systems and this data could provide some info on instream chlorophyll
a (with the caveat that there is a discharge).

3/2/04
Bec'euse this facility is under SOC for flow, contacts at the regional office (Samar Bou-Ghazale and John Lesley) initially did
not want to allow the W WTP to accept additional landfill seepage flow from ALCOA. However, a conference call with Mike
Parker and Rex Gleason later indicated that they may find this acceptable.
A meeting at the MRO was held on February 24, 2004. Representatives from DWQ, Stanly County, and ALCOA attended. An
attendance list is attached. Various options for handling the landfill seepage were discussed, and a resolution was reached.
It was decided that the most feasible way to handle the seepage was to allow ALCOA to connect this discharge to Greater
Badin W WTP (Stanly County). At this point in time, Stanly County will not be required to institute a pretreatment program to
accept this waste. This could change in the future if problems result from the connection. Because they will not have a
program, the POC's (fluoride and cyanide) will be added to the W WTP's NPDES permit for monitoring only. In addition,
WET monitoring will also be required based on the recommendation of Matt Matthews at ATU. The draft will be modified
accordingly.
The need for limits can be determined at the next permit renewal or sooner if WET tests show a need.

Re: Nutrient Monitoring @ Lake Tillery
Subject: Re: Nutrient Monitoring @ Lake Tillery
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2004 15:10:46 -0500
From: Lauren Elmore <[e-mail]>
To: Dawn Jeffries <[e-mail]>
Dawn,
Hello! I'm finally getting back to you on your Little Mountain Creek questions. Sony it has taken me so
long. I hope you had a good holiday season. I can't believe it is over already!
The Yadkin coalition has been sampling Little Mountain Creek at NC 1798 (just upstream of the entrance
to Morrow Mountain State Park). The coalition never monitored the location where Little Mountain Creek
enters the Pee Dee River, they actually monitor at the boat ramp at Morrow Mountain State park. (I
discovered this after the Basin Plan was completed. The Coalition's website is wrong too.) The boat ramp
where the coalition samples is on the Pee Dee River (Lake Tillery portion) upstream of Little Mountain
Creek. (For a visual ... See page 59 of the NC gazatteer or look on Terrain Navigator with the coalition
station markers from the Coalition Folder on the shared WQ drive. ) Let me know if you need help finding
the marker files.
The coalition collects monthly nutrient, bacteria, and field parameters at the NC 1798 station on Little
Mountain Creek. This data may be of use to you on determining if the creek is experiencing particularly
high nutrient levels or if the DO is low. I'm attaching all the data I have for that station.
Dianne Reid, the manager of the Intensive Survey Unit over here in the Environmental Sciences Branch is
in charge of tracking NC's lake quality. Check in with her on information on the status/health of Lake
Tillery.
I'm not sure why Badin ended up with Total Phosphorus, Total Nitrogen and Chlorophylla instream
monitoring requirements in their permit.
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks!

Lauren,
I'm working on a permit renewal for Greater Badin WWTP which discharges
into Little Mountain Creek. I notice that a requirement to monitor for
nutrients (TP,TN) and Chlorophyl -a (downstream in arm of Lake Tillery)
was added in 1990. Does Lake Tillery still have nutrient problems you
are doing ambient monitoring for? Has this issue been cleared up so
that we can remove these requirements from the permit. The current
Basin Plan doesn't mention anything...
It doesn't matter a great deal to the permit holder as they are members
of the coalition so their instream monitoring is waived, but Dave wanted
me to check on it for the record. What do you think?

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permitter is applying to renew the permit to discharge treated domestic wastewater.
The collection system serving the wastewater treatment plant is having excessive I & I. The
permitted flow of 0.55 MGD has been violated frequently and the effluent flow has exceeded 800/0
of the design flow during the previous three calendar years. According to Donna Davis, Director
of Public Works, the County has been granted money from the Clean Water Management Trust
Fund to correct the I & I problems at the facility. The funds will be available in January 2004 and
the project will begin during the spring of 2004. A SOC application was received in Raleigh on
September 22, 2003.
Also, Stanly County is requesting to be granted additional flow (landfill seepage and
cooling tower) from the Alcoa plant in Stanly County. Giving the chronic flow violations, no
additional flow should be granted as this time.
During the site investigation the wastewater treatment plant appeared to be in good
operational condition. No detrimental effect on the stream was observed by the discharge.
Pending review and approval by the P& E, it is recommended that the subject permit be
renewed .

Just talked with John about this reply to me - he did mean he thought it should be in the permit renewal
letter. He also said he liked my paragraph, so I've copied it here again for easy reference (I did make one
mod in the second to last paragraph to reference the boilerplate). Dawn, if you're still concerned with this
"ruling" being in the permit renewal letter, John says to please talk with Rex and Samar directly ... maybe
they could put it in the letter transmitting the draft SOC, and your NPDES permit renewal letter could say
something like "The County's request to allow a new discharge of various wastewaters from Alcoa will be
addressed under separate cover from the Division's Mooresville Regional Office. Please contact Rex
Gleason or Samar Bou Ghazale at..."
Here's my original suggested paragraph - use, revise, or ignore as you like!!!
The County's November 18, 2003, application included a request to allow a new discharge of various
wastewaters from Alcoa. Due to the ongoing compliance problems at the Stanley County Greater Badin
WWTP, the Division cannot allow any additional flow at this time.... (OR are they already under flow
moratorium? then we reference that document and how it prohibits new connections). After the problems
are solved and the County has demonstrated consistent compliance for a reasonable time frame, the County
may resubmit the request if you wish. Please note that a very preliminary review of the information
contained the application indicates the groundwater seepage fluoride levels would represent a Significant
Industrial User (SIU). Therefore the County would have to develop and implement a Division approved
Pretreatment Program to regulate the discharge (see Part III, A, 4 of your current NPDES permit as well as
the Pretreatment Unit web -site http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/Pretreat/index.html for details on the components
of this Program). The request should include an Industrial Waste Survey and Permit Application (Long
Form) completed by Alcoa, including a history of the groundwater seepage and landfill, as well as Biocide
Worksheets for all cooling and boiler waters.
Have fun, you guys!

I think that it should be part of the permit language.. something like if any industrial wastewater flow is
added that is greater than 5% of the loading for any parameter of concern then development of a
pretreatment program may be necessary including the construction/installation of pretreatment facilities
by the industry. Samar is working on the SOC and says that there is no way MRO will allow the
addition of this flow. Even if they fix the I&I, the plant will still be underloaded somewhat and the
addition of clean water would still impact the WWTP... it would be a mistake for Badin to accept this
flow. JL

Mike, Samar Bou Ghazale is working on the Badin issue.. MRO will not allow any additional flow
into the Badin WWTP because of the I & I. It is MRO's recommendation that Alcoa pump the
leachate to one of the other outfalls (to be described in the permit) and discharge to Badin Lake.. that
would give the enough dilution to drop Cn concentration below WQ standard and keep Badin
WWTP from having to develop a pretreatment program. Also Badin WWTP would be better off
without "clean" groundwater.. it is underloaded as is. Also, Barbara Sifford our collection system
person says that even if the two drainage basins are fixed there would enough I&I to impact the
WWTP.. ie it is not a complete fix only a partial fix.
Mike Templeton wrote:
Dana -
Thanks for the update. As for Alcoa's leachate being an illegal discharge, I have to admit that we
are in part to blame for their not having a permit for this yet. Their permit expired in 1998 and they
applied for renewal on time; not,long after that, they modified their application to request a new
discharge from the Alcoa-Badin Landfill (the Outfall 021 we talked about). We have gotten a draft
out and have agreed on some revisions to the draft, but the final is still in the works.
FYI, I got a call late this afternoon from Donna Davis of the Greater Badin District, checking on
the status of their request. She said they are willing to accept the wastestream if it won't result in
new requirements beyond the District's means. I told her we (Raleigh) are looking into the matter
but haven't reached, a decision yet. We touched on the I&I issue and the SOC, and she seemed to
be aware that there could be new pretreatment requirements for them. Also told her we hope to
get back to her fairly quickly.

Hello, all. Below is John's response on what the MRO thinks about the County's request to have
Alcoa connect - the answer seems to be a clear NO due to the County's severe compliance
problems. Plus there's some info on Alcoa itself... maybe Mike can talk to John directly about
that.
I've emailed the industry's consultant and let him know to hold off on the info I asked him for
until we get more clear on our response.
John, I assume this is not a NO forever, but just NO until they get their I/I fixed (which of course
could take a year or more)?? or is there more going on? Apparently the groundwater seepage
wastewater discussed in the request is not a wastewater currently covered by Alcoa's current
NPDES permit (does that make it an illegal discharge?). The first Alcoa letter states the fluoride
ranges between 11-27 mg/l. I assume we would not want this in a stream. My preliminary
calculations show this wastewater would be 6.7% of the POTW's allowable load at the 11 mg/i
2 of 5 12/15/2003 2:26 PM

Re: Stanley County/Greater Badin WWTP and Badin-Alcoa potential discharge
and 16.5 % at the 27 mg/l. In other words - not a problem, would not cause pass through, but it
would be an SIU and so would require Stanley County to develop a Pretreatment Program (do
they understand what that means? can they do it?). The cyanide concentrations are below 5 %
allowable load, even at the max of 0.061 mg/l. The various cooling waters also mentioned in the
second Alcoa letter (which I think are flows currently covered by Alcoa's NPDES permit) would
be no big deal pollutant wise assuming the biocides were OK, but of course more "cleanish"
water into a WWTP already overloaded for flow makes no sense for right now. Later, probably
not a problem if there is hydraulic capacity and it helps the environment generally to remove the
discharges from the current Alcoa receiving streams.
At this point, I guess the question for the County part is - What is the best format in which to
communicate the NO to the County? Should John and I write a paragraph for Dawn to put in the
cover letter for the draft permit renewal? Would this have to be signed by someone higher up
than Dave? Or should there be a separate letter from the MRO? In any case, here's some
suggested wording for a "NO, not now but maybe later" type answer. What does everyone
think?
The County's November 18, 2003, application included a request to allow a new discharge of
various wastewaters from Alcoa. Due to the ongoing compliance problems at the Stanley
County Greater Badin WWTP, the Division cannot allow any additional flow at this time....

The request should include an Industrial Waste Survey and Permit Application (Long Form)

Sorry I have not had time to phone you, I am just about to go out into
the field again today... here is scoop on what I know..
The Badin issue.. Badin WWTP has asked for an SOC because of I/I
problems.. they also want to take wastewater from some GW remediation
sources at Alcoa - MRO is being adamant that they cannot take any
additional wastewater, period. Meanwhile Alcoa is seeking an SOC for
cyanide violations, they have only had two in the past month, but a good
record other than that... we are not sure there is a real problem until
Alcoa convinces us. So that is what I know about this stuff... I dont
ever see us allowing the Alcoa waste being put into the Badin system,
especially if Alcoa has to treat it to meet the GW standards... they may
as well direct discharge it with the other 12 outfalls... JL

Dear Ms. Davis,
I have drafted the renewal permit for the Greater Badin WWTP. Unfortunately, I cannot proceed until I
have received from you Form 2A, (parts A, B, and C completed). I did receive the short form you
completed, but as I explained on the phone when we spoke a last month, that form was sent to you in error
and your facility must use the.longer one. I have attached the proper form for your convenience. Please
complete parts A-C and return it to me as soon as possible. I greatly appreciate your attention to this
matter. I hope to issue this permit promptly, since the current one expires January 31, 2004.

RE: Approval to Discharge Wastewater to the Badin POTW
Dear Donna:
As per our previous conversations regarding the possibility of discharging wastewater to
the Badin POTW, please find attached a summary of the wastewater sources and
characteristics for Alcoa Badin Works wastewater streams which we would like to
request approval for. All of these wastewater streams, with the exception of the treated
cooling tower blowdown, are non -contact cooling water, which is potable water that we
purchase from the county, pass it through a heat exchanger, and discharge it with no
chemical treatment involved. The only treated cooling water we discharge is from our
compressor cooling towers and I have attached the MSDS sheets for the products which
are currently approved for use in these systems.
It is our understanding that the county is in the process of renewing the NPDES permit
for the Badin POTW, and we wanted to go ahead and submit this request for approval to
discharge these wastestreams to the Badin POTW so they can be considered as part of the
permit renewal process.
If you should have any questions or need additional information, please don't hesitate to
contact me.

Re: Wastewater from Alcoa Badin Works
Dear Ms. Davis:
I am writing to inquire about the logistics of sending a wastewater stream generated at Alcoa's Badin
facility to the Stanly County sanitary sewer. The wastewater stream is primarily comprised of
groundwater seepage coming from the area of the Alcoa Badin Landfill. Table I summarizes the
analytical results of a recent wastewater sample collected on March 27, 2003.
A review of data collected from the wastewater during the past five years indicate that the water can
contain total cyanide at concentrations ranging from not detected to 0.061 mg/L and fluoride in
concentrations from 11 mg/L to 27 mg/L. The historical wastewater flows have averaged approximately
4 gallons per minute (gpm) with a maximum of 15 gpm. , -;r7A- `VRfW lJ7`Ex/P
Alcoa is providing this information to you for your evaluation of the potential for sending this wastewater
stream to the Stanly County sanitary sewer collection system. It is Alcoa's desire to tie a wastewater line
originating near the landfill into the sanitary sewer at Wood Street in Badin, NC.
I understand that you are in the process of preparing a permit application for the Stanly County Publicly
Owned Treatment Works (POTW). If your determination indicates that you believe we can send the
wastewater to the POTW, please let me know what information you will need from us to complete your
application. Further, I would like to know an estimate of the potential costs that would be associated with
sending the wastewater to the Stanly County sanitary sewer (e.g., service costs, costs to connect our
pipeline to your sewer, etc.).
I appreciate your assistance with this matter and it would be helpful if you could get back to me by June
27, 2003. If you have any questions or if you would like any additional information, please do not
hesitate to contact me at [phone].
