2. Whole effluent toxicity shall be determined by chronic toxicity (Ceriodaphnia) Pass/Fail at 6%. Tests shall be
run in March, June, September and December (see Part.A. (2.) for details).
3. See Part A.(3) for details.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

Permit NCO020290
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 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 II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The
tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September, and December. 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:
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.

Permit NCO020290
A. (3) EFFLUENT POLLUTANT SCAN
The perrnittee shall perform an annual Effluent Pollutant Scan for all parameters listed in the table below (in
accordance with 40 CFR Part 136). The annual effluent pollutant scan samples shall represent seasonal
(summer, winter, fall, spring) variations over the 5-year permit cycle. Unless otherwise indicated," metals shall
be analyzed as "total recoverable." Additionally, the method detection level and the minimum level shall be
the most sensitive as provided by the appropriate analytical procedure.

I. Summary
The Town has reactivated its pretreatment program based on the addition of one SIU. In the
previous fact sheet it was stated that the facility would be re -rated from a major to a minor. This
statement was incorrect. The Burnsville WWTP was never classified as a major facility.
However, since the facility did not have a pretreatment program, they were not required to do an
annual priority pollutant scan. Since the pretreatment program has been reactivated, this
requirement will be added to the permit.

Hey guys,
You both sent me notes to let me know about Burnsville re -activating their
pretreatment program. In the draft permit I sent out I said that I was going to
reclassify them from major to minor. Well, they actually never were a major- that
was my misunderstanding. But since I thought they didn't have a pretreatment
program, I didn't give them a requirement to do an annual priority pollutant scan
(we're putting that requirement in permits for majors and facilities with
pretreatment programs). So that will need to go in there now.
Just an FYI. Thanks for your help.

Hi Tom. I received a draft permit for your NPDES program and it mentioned
reclassifying your NPDES program from a major to a minor permit, and also the removal
of some parameters that are included as parameters in your soon to be issued IUP
permit for Altech. I just wanted to give you a heads up to let Toya know of these
things before your permit is re -issued. I copied Toya, who is the lead reviewer for
you NPDES permit, so she will be aware of the new industry. If you have any other
questions please let me know. Thanks Daryl

1. Proposed Changes Incorporated into Permit Renewal
• The facility will be changed from a major to a minor. It will remain a class III facility.
• A lead limit will be added based on reasonable potential for levels of this pollutant to
cause an exceedance of water quality standards.
• Monitoring for chromium, cyanide, mercury, and nickel will be removed due to lack of
reasonable potential for levels of these parameters to cause an exceedance of water quality
standards.
• Zinc monitoring will be increased to 2/month to align with requirements for class III
facilities.
II. Summary
The Town of Burnsville operates a 0.8 MGD facility discharging to the Cane River, a C;Tr class
waterbody in the French Broad River Basin. This segment of the receiving stream is not 303(d)
listed.
During the last permit cycle, the Burnsville WWTP dropped its last remaining SIU and
inactivated its pretreatment program. Based on the fact that the facility has inactivated its
pretreatment program and is permitted for less than 1 MGD, a Permit Rating Worksheet was
completed. Based on the results of the worksheet, the facility will be changed from a major to a
minor. The classification (class III) will not be changed. The facility will no longer be required to
maintain its pretreatment program, however if any industry meeting the SIU definition proposed
to discharge to the WWTP the facility is required to notify the Division to reactivate the
pretreatment program.
NOTE: For this renewal, the facility submitted EPA Form 2A, however did not provide
expanded effluent testing data. Permitting staff notes that at the time the application was

submitted, the W WTP no longer met the requirements for expanded effluent testing as outlined
in Form 2A. '
III. Compliance Summary
DMR Data Review
Monthly average DMR data was reviewed for the period January 2003-December 2005. A
summary of DMR data is included in Table 1. Average flows are at 58% capacity while
maximum monthly average flows are at 76% capacity. A TRC limit took effect one year after the
effective date of the previous permit, therefore there were some high chlorine values prior to that
point. However since February 2004 (the compliance date) the facility has had no trouble
complying with its 28 pg/L TRC limit. In the past, the facility has had problems meeting its TSS,
BOD, and fecal coliform limits, however those problems appear to have been resolved more
recent years.

Instreani Data Review
The facility is not required to perform instream monitoring.
RPA Analysis
RPAs were performed for the following parameters:
• Cadmium 0 Lead
Chromium
Copper
Silver
Nickel
Zinc
Mercury
Cyanide
Cadmium was limited in the previous permit and will continue to be limited in this renewal
based on data submitted. It appears that values have been below detection since December 2004,
but prior to that point there were several violations of the 2 pg/L daily maximum. This value is
an acute standard ('/z FAV) for trout waters.
Lead will also be limited during this renewal. It appears that prior to July 2005, the facility used a
very high detection level (380 pg/L) for lead sampling. This level was reduced to 5 pg/L in July
2005 and since then the values have approached the acute criteria for trout waters. An acute limit
of 34 pg/L will be placed in the permit.
Monitoring for chromium, cyanide, mercury, and nickel will be removed due to lack of
reasonable potential for levels of these parameter s to cause an exceedance of water quality
standards.
Levels of copper, silver, and zinc did show reasonable potential to exceed water quality
standards, however all three are action level parameters. The facility routinely passes its WET
tests, therefore these parameters will not be limited at this time.

WET Test Results
The Burnsville WWTP is required to perform a chronic toxicity WET test at 6% effluent
concentration. They have passed 17/17 tests administered since March 2002.
Correspondence File Reviero/Conzpliance History
In 2003 and 2004 the Burnsville WWTP had eight daily maximum violations of their cyanide
limit. Two cases resulted in NOVs, three resulted in enforcement cases ($600 in fines) , and three
resulted in no action based on Best Professional Judgment. The last violation was in June, 2004.

A. PURPOSE
The Town of Burnsville is proposing to construct facilities for the composting of
wastewater sludge from the Town's Wastewater Treatment Plant located on Pine Swamp Branch
Road. Waste sludge will be combined with wood chips and/or debark in a mixture of
approximately 1:1.5 to 1:2 and placed in aerated static piles (each pile with a height of
approximately 7-feet) for a period of 21 to 28 days. Ambient temperature within the static
piles -will be mo tored daily to assure that the internal pile temperature reaches a minimum
of 1400 F for four (4) consecutive days to assure pathogen kill within the compost.
Sludge will remain in the aerated piles for a period of 21 to 28 days to achieve further
pathogen kill and to complete the composting process.
Following the aerated static pile composting cycle air flow to the piles will be
cut off and the compost will be allowed to cure for an additional period of 21 to 28 days.
Upon completion of the curing stage the compost will be sold to local nurserymen, farmers
and landowners for use as a soil amendment in the production of Christmas Trees, other
ornamental shrubbery, and turf grass.

.j B. COMPOST FACILITIES
The Town of Burnsville proposes to construct composting facilities at the Town's
wastewater treatment plant. Dewatered sludge from the existing screw press will be mixed
with woodchips and/or debark using a mixture of two parts woodchips to one part sludge. The
mixture will be mixed thoroughly using a front end loader.
A 7,200 square foot x 6-inch thick concrete slab will be used to mix the sludge and
woodchips as well as to construct compost and curing piles. The concrete slab will be
sloped with perimeter ditches to collect all runoff in a drop inlet with a 6-inch outlet
pipe to carry the runoff to a proposed pump station.
The pump station will consist of a 4-foot diameter wet well with a 1/2 horsepower
) submersible type sump pump. Runoff will be pumped to the existing splitter box at the head
of the treatment plant for additional treatment.
The composting piles will be approximately 8 feet tall with 4-inch perforated
plastic pipe placed at the bottom of the piles at approximately 8-feet on center and covered
with a 1-foot thick layer of woodchips prior to placing the sludge/woodchip mixture. During
original operation the pile will be capped off with a 12-inch layer of woodchips to help
insulate the piles. Once compost is produced the 12-inch insulation layer will be placed
using cured material.
Air flow to the piles will be provided by blowers to produce a minimum air flow of
200 scf/hr. The blowers will be operated as necessary to keep temperatures within the
compost pile to approximately 1400 to 1600.

• C. MARKETING
Composted wastewater sludge from the Town of Burnsville Wastewater Treatment Plant
will be attractive to several markets including nurseries, landscapers and the private
sector.
Several nursery and landscaping operations are located in the Yancey County area.
These operations plan to use the compost as a soil amendment in raising ornamental shrubbery
and trees. Compost can successfully be used in container mixes in greenhouses and can be
substituted for peat or pine bark in landscaping.
In the private sector several individuals have expressed an interest in using the
compost for lawn and landscape improvements. Area golf courses are also considering compost
for landscaping.

Subject: Pretreatment Review of Industrial User Pretreatment Permit Drop (IUP Drop)
and Pretreatment Program Inactivation Review--��``��
Town of Burnsville
- NCO020290
Yancey County
Dear Mr. Storie:
The Pretreatment, Emergency Response, and Collection Systems Unit (PERCS) of the Division
of Water Quality has reviewed the request to drop the following Industries from the list of
significant industrial- users (SIUs) for the Town of Burnsville. This drop request was received by
the Division on February 23, 2005.
SIU Name IUP Number
Glen Raven Mills Inc. 0001
The review indicates that ,the SIU no longer meets the definition of Significant Industrial User.
Therefore, the SIU drop request is approved based on compliance with 15 NCAC 2H .0907(c)
and .0903(b)(34). Therefore, the SIU list which is part of your approved pretreatment program,is
hereby modified.
Your request to inactivate your pretreatment program is also approved, since you no longer
accept wastewater from any SIUs. If an industry meeting the SIU definition proposes to
discharge to your WWTP, you must notify the Division, reactivate your pretreatment program,
and update pretreatment program elements according to current requirements.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact Dana Rees Folley at [phone] ext.
523 [email: [e-mail]] or Jeff Poupart, Supervisor of the Pretreatment, Emergency
Response, and Collection Systems Unit (PERCS) at ext. 527 [email: [e-mail]].
