Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance
Permit No. NCO025321
Waynesville WWTP
Haywood County
Dear Mr. Baker:
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. EnvironmentalProtection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently
amended).
The permit authorizes the Town of Waynesville to discharge up to 6.0 MGD of
treated wastewater from the Waynesville WWTP to, the Pigeon River, a class C water
in the French Broad River Basin. The permit includes discharge limitations /or
monitoring for flow, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids USS),
fecal coliform bacteria, dissolved oxygen, total residual chlorine, cyanide, copper, zinc,
and chronic toxicity.. ,
The following modifications have been made in this permit:
The daily maximum limit for cyanide has been dropped from the permit
based on an analysis of submitted effluent monitoring data, that indicated
there is no reasonable potential to exceed the water quality standard.
However, it is . recommended that twice per month monitoring for cyanide
remain in the permit for protection of the acute allowable concentration.
The effluent limits for cadmium, mercury and nickel, have been deleted from
the permit based on an analysis of submitted effluent monitoring data. . It is
recommended that these parameters continue to be monitored quarterly in
the pretreatment program's Long Term Monitoring Program (LTMP).

• The percent removal for BOD5 and TSS will be modified from 80% to 85%
based on a review of influent and effluent data for these parameters. The
data indicates that the facility is now averaging a percent removal rate of
nearly 95% for both parameters. The previous variance for the removal rate
does not appear to be needed any longer. Please note the change in A (1),
footnote 2.
• The instream monitoring sites in the permit have been modified to reflect the
actual sites where the Town of Waynesville is collecting instream data. The
upstream site is River Mile 55.5 and the downstream site is River Mile 53.5
• A total residual chlorine limit of 28 ug/1 has been added to reflect the
Division's current policy for protection against chlorine toxicity instream.
If a method different than chlorination/dechlorination is used, the total
residual chlorine lirnit will not be applicable. There is an eighteen (18)
month compliance schedule to meet this limit. See Special Condition A (4.)
• An annual effluent pollutant scan has been added to fulfill EPA's application
requirement for major municipal wastewater treatment facilities. Special
Condition A. (3.) of this permit details this requirement.
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 a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding.
Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. 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, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other Federal or Local
governmental permits may be required.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms.
Jacquelyn Nowell at telephone number [phone], extension 512.

SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A (2). CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 9%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarter iu 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 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 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 parameter code TGP3B for the
pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the
following address: .

SUMMARY OF FACILITY INFORMATION
Waynesville has requested renewal of its existing NPDES wastewater treatment plant permit.
The current permitted design flow is 6.0-MGD. The plant averaged 4.07 MGD in 2004 which is
67% of capacity. The plant is serving the Town of Waynesville, Lake Junaluska Assembly, the
Junaluska Sanitary District, and the Town of Clyde.
Waynesville has a full Long Term Monitoring Plan (LTMP) with the Pretreatment Unit and
accepts wastewater from one Categorical Industrial Users (CIU).
Facility has had a previous permit variance for 80% removal of BOD5 and TSS. Upon review of
the past two years of influent and effluent data for Waynesville, it has been determined that the
80% removal condition is no longer needed. The % removal for BOD5 and TSS will return to
85%. removal.
RECEIVING STREAM
The receiving stream is the Pigeon River in the French Broad River Basin and is classified C.
This segment of the Pigeon River is not listed on the 303(d) list for Impaired Streams. A
segment of the Pigeon River above the Waynesville discharge is on the 2004 NC Impaired
Streams List for biological integrity with stressors not identified.
NOTE: Also Richland Creek, is on the impaired streams list for impaired biological integrity
and potential sources as agriculture and urban runoff/storm sewers. The Town of Waynesville
is encouraged to check damaged sewer lines for contribution to the problems of Richland
Creek.
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY/CORRESPONDENCE REVIEW
The facility received a notice of violation (NOV) in May 2003 for exceeding the TSS weekly
average of 45 mg/1 . The facility had been under an SOC for TSS in 1997-1998.
The facility received a notice of deficiency (NOD) for a late toxicity monitoring report in
February 2003.
NPDES NC00253' 1 R,neNkal
P�gr 1

A NOV and civil penalty issued for fecal coliform violations in August 2004.
Compliance inspection reports in 2003 - 2005 were satisfactory.
The facility received a notice of violation (NOV) in Nov. 2004 for exceeding the TSS weekly
average of 45 mg/l .
TOXICITY TESTING
Current Requirements. Chronic Toxicity at 9%: Feb May Aug Nov
A review of submitted chronic Ceriodaphnia toxicity tests shows that the facility has passed all
sixteen tests since February 2002.
Recommendation: Renewal of the existing chronic toxicity test @ 9%
INSTREAM MONITORING
Current Upstream site: NCSR 1108
Current Downstream sites 1) NCSR 2424 2) NCSR 564
Town is taking samples upstream at river mile 55.5 and downstream at river mile 53.
Believe the instream monitoring site change in 2002 was an error. There is are no highway
crossings on the Pigeon River that correspond with these numbers.
Recommendation: Will change the instream monitoring sites to River Mile 55.5 upstream
and 53.5 downstream.
A review of instream monitoring data for the past three years, shows there are no problems
upstream or downstream of the Waynesville plant with DO or temperature. Most downstream
DO values average between 8 - 9mg/l.
REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS/RESULTS:
Analysis was conducted using discharge monitoring reports from January 2004 through
December 2005.
The parameters that were analyzed were arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, cyanide, lead,
mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, and zinc. See attached RPA results.
• The analysis of the following parameters did not show reasonable potential to exceed either
the acute or the chronic allowable concentrations. The maximum predicted concentrations
were less than the allowable and therefore no limit or monitoring will be required. These
parameters will be monitored quarterly in the Waynesville's Long Term Monitoring Plan
(LTMP): Arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel and
selenium.
• The analysis of the following parameter did not show reasonable potential to exceed either
the acute or the chronic allowable concentrations. However, the maximum predicted
concentration was very close to the acute allowable concentration (20.6 ug/1 versus 22 ug/l
acute allowable). Actual reported value was 16 ug/1 in April 2005. Therefore, BPJ will
recommend that existing limit for cyanide be dropped and 2/month monitoring will be
required: Cyanide
• The analysis of the following parameters did show reasonable potential to exceed the acute
and/or the chronic allowable for the NC action level standard. Per NCDWQ procedure, no
limit will be recommended due to there being no chronic toxicity problems with the facility.
It is recommended that 2/month monitoring be continued in the permit for these
parameters: Copper and Zinc
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES

5 The quantitation level for cyanide is 10.0 ug/1. If the measured levels of cyanide are below the detection limit, then
the measurement is considered to be zero for purposes of compliance evaluation only. A North -Carolina -certified
laboratory should continue to report all cyanide values detected, even if these values are below the Division's specified
quantitation level of 10 ug/L.

Jackie,
Waynesville is a full program because of their WWTP permitted flow being over 2 MGD.
They only have one SIU. Its a Centralized Waste Treater with a permitted flow of
0.008 MGD. They sample quarterly for their LTMP, increasing to monthly the year
before the headworks analysis is due (they should be doing monthly sampling this
year). The parameters are: BOD, TSS, NH3, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, Ar, Cd,
Cr, Cn, Cu, Pb, Hg, Mo, Ni, Se, Zn. They do not have email, so I cannot request an
electronic version of the data - sorry. It should be on the DMRs.

5.3.1 Pigeon River [AU# 5-( )b]
2000 Recommendations
Seven miles of the Pigeon River was Impaired due to point and nonpoint source pollution. Blue
Ridge Paper Products (BRPP) had improved its manufacturing process to eliminate the release of
the chemical dioxin, a by-product of the paper making process. DWQ will participate in a Joint
Watershed Advisory Group and continue to monitor the river as additional improvements are
made. Local- initiatives are needed to address the nonpoint source impacts to the river from the
towns of Canton and Clyde and outlying nonurban areas.
Current Status
Pigeon River. [AU# 5-(1), 5-(6.5) and 5-(7)a], from source to 0.15 miles downstream of West
Park Street in Canton (6.1 miles), is Supporting due to a Good -Fair bioclassification at site B-1.
This site has been sampled 13 times since 1983, and the bioclassification has varied between
Good -Fair and Excellent due to year-to-year differences in flow and habitat. Much of the nearby
land is used for agricultural purposes, but an increasing number of vacation homes are being
built in the upper reaches of the watershed.
Chapter 5 - French Broad River Subbasin 04-03-05 64

Pigeon River [AU# 5-(7)b], from 0.15 miles downstream of West Park Street in Canton to SR
1642 (Main Street in Clyde) (6.4 miles), is currently Impaired in the aquatic life category due to
a Poor bioclassification at site B-4. The sampling site is located approximately 5 miles
downstream of Blue Ridge Paper Products, Inc. (BRPP) and has been sampled 12 times since
1984. Historically, this site has received Fair and Poor bioclassifications, but improvements in
BRPP's processes were evident in samples collected in 1992 (improvement from Poor to Fair)
and 1997 (improvement from Fair to Good -Fair). In 2002, however, the bioclassification
decreased to Poor. This decrease is likely associated with drought conditions during the time of
sampling. Pools were absent; riffles were minimal, and aquatic weeds were abundant. These
factors, along with low flow conditions and the subsequent lack of dilution of the BRPP effluent
likely impacted the benthic community. Conductivity was also high at the time of sampling. A
review of data from the DWQ ambient monitoring station (A-16) showed that the mean
conductivity has been steadily increasing at the site since 1998. This site also receives nonpoint
urban and stormwater runoff from the towns of Canton and Clyde. This nonpoint runoff could
also impact the benthic community in this stretch of the river.
In addition to DWQ sampling, EA Engineering, Science and Technology, Inc. (EA) collected
fish and macroinvertebrate samples along the Pigeon River and three major tributaries (Jonathan
Creek, Fines Creek and Richland Creek) in the summer of 2000. The study was prepared for
BRPP following NCDENR protocols and examined the overall fish and macroinvertebrate
communities in the watershed. The EA survey was compared to a 1995 survey and found that:
1) the number of smallmouth bass had increased 10 fold; 2) darters were found where they were
absent in 1995; and 3) species richness had improved downstream of the BRPP discharge.
Macroinvertebrate communities ranged from Fair, Good -Fair, and Good with a Good
bioclassification on both Jonathan Creek and Fines Creek and a Fair bioclassification on
Richland Creek (EA, May 2001). DWQ sampling and use .support ratings for Jonathan Creek,
Fines Creek and Richland Creek are presented below.
A Settlement Agreement was reached in 1997 on a modified color variance and NPDES permit
for BRPP. The. following agencies participated in the agreement: the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA); the states of North Carolina and Tennessee; Cocke County and the
City of Newport, TN; the Tennessee Environmental Council; the American Canoe Association;
and BRPP. The intent of the agreement was to address the Pigeon River color issue without
litigation. The goal was to reach an annual average color loading of 48,000-52,000 lbs/day by
May 1, 2001. This goal was met. All of the BMP projects as required in the agreement are
complete and operational. Additional color reduction measures were completed and others are
ongoing. Contingency plans for low flow periods were in place and operational.
Pursuant to the agreement, North Carolina and Tennessee were required to establish a Joint
Watershed Advisory Group to foster joint planning and public input on decisions affecting the
Pigeon River. This group has been meeting since 2000. BRPP has also been working with a
Community Advisory Committee composed of community leaders in Haywood County (North
Carolina), Cocke County (Tennessee), and the State of North Carolina.
Overall, the water quality in the Pigeon River has, improved dramatically over the last 15 years.
Annual fish tissue monitoring for dioxin in the Pigeon River is conducted by BRPP and Carolina
Power and Light Company (CP&L). This monitoring is required as part of the BRPP discharge
Chapter 5 —French Broad River Subbasin 04-03-05 65

permit issued by DWQ and as a condition of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC) license for CP&L. In the past, there has been a limited -consumption advisory for
common carp in effect for the Pigeon River from the Town of Canton to the North Carolina -
Tennessee state line (approximately 26 miles, including Waterville Lake). In 2001, the NC
Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) revised this advisory due to declining
dioxin concentrations in fish. The advisory was removed from common carp caught in the river,
but remains in effect for Waterville (Walters) Lake. NCDHHS suggests that women of
childbearing age and children under the age of 15 avoid eating carp caught from the lake. For all
others, consumption of carp should be limited to no more than one meal per month. Swimming,
boating and other recreational activities are not affected by this advisory. Visit the NCDHHS
website for more information at www.epi.state.nc.us/epi/fish.
In addition, the State of Tennessee had a historical limited -consumption advisory for common
carp, catfish species, and redbreast sunfish in effect for the Pigeon River within the State of
Tennessee downstream to the confluence with the French Broad River. Due to monitoring
conducted from 1996 to 2002, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation
(TDEC), Division of Water Pollution Control (DWPC) recommended that the Fish Consumption
Advisory be removed (TDEC-DWPC, October 2002). This advisory has been lifted; however,
the Pigeon River (5 miles) remains on the Tennessee 303(d) list for color.
2005 Recommendations
DWQ will continue to monitor the Pigeon River to study the sources and impact of increasing
conductivity. DWQ will continue to work closely with BRPP to minimize the impact of its
discharge and continue its involvement in the Joint Watershed Advisory Group. Additional
provisions during times of drought should be reviewed and perhaps revised in the next permit
cycle for BRPP to protect water quality in Pigeon River. In addition, DWQ recommends erosion
and sedimentation control measures be taken in areas of the watershed that are under
development.
Water Quality Initiatives
Haywood Waterways Association (HWA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to maintaining
and improving the water quality of the Pigeon River. It focuses on reducing nonpoint source
pollution by offering education and outreach programs and working through a variety of
voluntary initiatives, concentrating on individual landowners. HWA partnered with TVA to
conduct a nonpoint source inventory (IPSI) of Haywood County using low -elevation infrared
photography and interpretation. TVA digitized multiple layers of GIS information obtained from
the photo interpretation. Nonpoint sources such as septic systems, illegal dumps sites, eroding
roads and streambanks, pastureland and animal access to streams were identified. This
information was used by TVA to apply a nutrient loading model to calculate a nutrient budget for
the Haywood County portion of the Pigeon River watershed. HWA and the Haywood County
Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) then used the TVA model and IPSI data to
develop and implement strategies for water quality improvements. A Watershed Action Plan
(HWA, 2002) was written detailing the inventory results and 19 strategies were recommended to
improve water quality in the watershed.
Using the IPSI data, TVA and HWA were able to identify the most heavily impacted
subwatersheds, identify and rank the nonpoint sources, and identify landowners where the
nonpoint sources were located. EPA 319 and Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF)
Chapter 5 — French Broad River Subbasin 04-03-05 66

grants were secured for sediment and water quality monitoring, educational publications, and a
variety of best management practices (BMPs) projects on lands with participating landowners.
BMP projects include: fencing livestock from streams; improving high -use areas and stock trails
adjacent to the streams; streambank stabilization; improving riparian buffers; and a stormwater
management project in a rural subdivision. Financial incentives in the form of reduced cost or
no -cost BMP work are offered to the landowners in return for long-term management
agreements or conservation easements. For more information on HWA and to review the
Watershed Action Plan, visit www.bMywoodwaterwgys.org.
5.3.2 Waterville (Walters) Lake [AU # 5-(7)e]
2000 Recommendations
Waterville (Walters) Lake was Impaired due to eutrophic conditions (i.e., algal blooms,
chlorophyll a, dissolved oxygen violations, and nutrients). Support methodology changed since
the 303(d) listing for Waterville Lake, and based on previous results, the lake is Supporting for
its uses. Despite this change, however, a fish advisory remains in effect for catfish and carp, and
the lake remains on the 303(d) list of Impaired waters.
Currp.nt ,1tRtuv
Waterville (Walters) Lake, from White Oak Road to Waterville Reservoir Dam (773.1 acres), is
currently Not Rated in the aquatic life category. Waterville Lake receives runoff from urban and
agricultural areas, which includes the Richland Creek, Jonathans Creek and Fines Creek
watersheds. Samples collected from Waterville Lake showed evidence of eutrophication.
Parameters of concern include chlorophyll a, elevated surface dissolved oxygen, and pH. There
was also increased algae growth, specifically blue-green algae in the reservoir, during the
summer of 2002. The elevated levels of chlorophyll a, conductivity and dissolved gasses may be
attributed to drought conditions during the time of sampling. Low flow combined with limited
dilution of upstream discharge effluents and nonpoint sources may also be contributing to the
eutrophic conditions.
Waterville Lake remains under a fish consumption advisory for common carp. NCDHHS
revised the advisory in 2001 and suggests that women of childbearing age and children under the
age of 15 avoid eating carp caught from the lake. For all others, consumption of carp should be
limited to no more than one meal per month. Swimming, boating and other recreational
activities are not affected by this advisory. Sampling by DWQ and CP&L shows that dioxin
concentrations in all species of fish collected from the lake have decreased since the early 1990s.
Dioxin levels in common carp, however, remain above the North Carolina limit. Waterville
Lake is on the state's 303(d) list of Impaired waters due to the fish consumption advisory. See
Section 5.3.1 for more information.
2005 Recommendations
DWQ will continue to monitor water quality in Waterville (Walters) Lake. In addition, DWQ
will work with Progress Energy (CP&L) and BRPP to develop a Quality Assurance and Project
Plan (QAPP) so that their data can be used by DWQ in determining use support ratings in the
future.
