Aurora Packing Company's NPDES permit has expired and they have requested renewal of their permit. The Division of Water Quality's NPDES Unit issues the permits for individually permitted facilities, and determines the conditions that must be achieved prior to discharging wastewater. This fact sheet summarizes the rationale used to determine permit limits and conditions. Aurora Packing Company operates a crab process facility in Beaufort County that employs 10 to 32 people'. On September 30, 1999, Aurora Packing applied for a renewed permit to replace the expired (March 31, 2000) effective permit'. In 1998, the facility operated 154 days'. The company handpicks crabs according to the production schedule outlined in Table 1'. Fact Sheet \PDES Renewal l,.Zxe ! Table 1: Production Schedule.

Process wastewater is discharged through outfalls 001 and 002, at a rate not exceeding 0.007 MGD and 0.0005 MGD, respectively. Wastewater is discharged to an Unnamed Tributary to South Creek, a stream classified SC NSW water in the Tar -Pamlico River Basin'''. Technology based effluent limits were established according to 40 CFR Part 408 Subpart B. lh se 1,� ' is ere r g rti ly. Current Stream Conditions There are no ambient sites located directly on the Unnamed Tributary to South Creek. The receiving stream discharges to South Creek. South Creek was `not rated' during the latest Use -Support assessment and has one benthic macroinvertebrate site located downstream of the confluence the Unnamed Tributary to South Creek and South Creek. South Creek has been removed from the state's list of impaired waters. In 1998, South Creek was rated as impaired primarily due to DEH closing the SA classified waters for shell fishing. Though South Creek is rated as SA waters there are no viable shell fishing resources in the stream. Since South Creek shell fishing closures are not due to impairment, DWQ has de -listed South Creek from the state's 303(d) list. Technology Based Effluent Limit Development Technology based limits were evaluated according to 40 CFR 408 Subpart B. These limits were promulgated on June 26, 1974 and modified on June 29, 1995'. Effluent limits representing the degree of pollutant reduction have been established as Best Practicable Technology (BPT) and Best Conventional Technology (BCT)'. The limits for BPT and BCT are identical and only apply to existing dischargers, processing greater than 3,000 pounds of raw material per day'. Production figures supplied by the permittee indicate that the facility processes a maximum of c1;200ipounds of crab per day'.

No instream monitoring is recommended during this permit cycle. Compliance Summary: (see Appendix B) The facility exceed the limitation for TSS in June 2000. Toxicity Testing Current Requirement: None. Recommended Requirement: None recommended. Proposed Changes The effluent limitations for TSS and Oil & Grease have been recalculated according to the latest information. Additionally, the mass based limit for TSS and Oil & Grease apply to the total mass loading discharged from the facility. The limit should apply to the mass discharged from both outfall 001 and 002. Therefore, the calculated limit has been applied to Outfall 001 and the permittee has been instructed to report the sum of the mass loading from Outfalls 001 and 002.
