A (2) QUARTERLY CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (0.50 MGD)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 56.4%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, guarterl 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 I I 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 TGP313 for the
pass/fail results and THP38 for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the
following address:

SUMMARY:
The Town of West Jefferson operates a 0.50 MGD wastewater treatment plant, serving a
population of 1,163. It discharges into a UT to Little Buffalo Creek, which is tributary to the New
River. It was expanded to 0.50 MGD from 0.369 MGD in 2003. The West Jefferson WWTP has
a modified pretreatment program through the Division of Water Quality's Pretreatment Unit. The
only significant industrial user is Ashe County Cheese, which contributes 6800 gallons per day.
Little Buffalo Creek, from the source to Buffalo Creek (4.4 miles) is impaired for
ecological/biological integrity on the 2010 303(d) list. The stream has a fair bioclassification,
which shows an improvement over its previous poor bioclassification rating. Other than this
discharge, potential sources for the impairment include urban area runoff and storm sewers.
The unnamed tributary of Little Buffalo Creek has a stream classification of C Trout +. The plus
(+) symbol identifies the receiving stream as being subject to a special management strategy to
protect downstream waters designated as ORW (outstanding resources water). West
Jefferson's WWTP is located upstream of a segment of the New River that has been classified
ORW. As a result, water quality standards will be halved (50%) for use in the reasonable
potential analysis.
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY:
According to RIMS, violations of permit limits were noted for six exceedances of the weekly
average for cadmium. The only other exceedance was an ammonia -nitrogen monthly average
exceedance (4.94 mg/L vs. a limit of 4.0 mg/L), which resulted in an enforcement case.
Additionally, there have been no failures of the toxicity test during the period from 2007 until the
present.

INSTREAM SAMPLING:
A detailed analysis of inseam sampling results was made for 2009 and 2010 data. The facility
samples 50 feet upstream and 200 feet downstream of the discharge point.
From an analysis of individual data points, there were no documented violations of the instream
DO standard of 6 mg/L either upstream or downstream of West Jefferson. In 2010, the DO
downstream average was 92% of the upstream average. The results for 2009 were slightly
better, with the downstream average 96% of the upstream average. Fecal coliform remained
virtually unchanged from upstream to downstream for both years. Since the receiving. stream in
not impaired for fecal, it is proposed to discontinue instream sampling for this parameter.
Regarding conductivity, the upstream downstream comparison showed an increase of 18% in
2009 and 23% in 2010. See Table 2 below.

Results are slightly better upstream as compared to downstream, showing that the receiving
stream is impacted by the discharge. Considering these data and the fact that little Buffalo
Creek continues to be 303(d) listed, this permit draft proposes to continue instream monitoring
as performed presently, with the exception of discontinuing fecal monitoring.
TOXICITY TESTING:
This permit draft proposes to continue current quarterly testing of chronic Ceriodaphnia Dubia at
the present instream waste concentration of 56.4%.
REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS:
As stated in the summary section, water quality standards were cut by 50% in order to account
for the "Trout+" classification. The following parameters of concern were evaluated and found
that they had no reasonable potential to cause an exceedance to water quality standards in the
receiving stream: Arsenic, total phenolic compounds, cadmium, chromium, molybdenum, lead,
mercury, nickel, selenium, and silver.
Although no hits were recorded over the last 300 data points for cadmium, it was noted that
there was exceedances of the previous limit as recently as February 2009. Because of this, and
Town of West Jefferson Fact Sheet
NPDES Permit Renewal - NG0020451

the fact that the receiving stream is classified as trout waters which are more sensitive to
cadmium, it is recommended that monitoring for cadmium be done at least quarterly.
Due to one hit, beryllium was found to have reasonable potential. Since there was a limited
dataset of only three samples, no limits will be applied but quarterly monitoring will be proposed.
Cyanide was found to have a reasonable potential. It is now proposed to have monthly average
and daily maximum limits, with a monthly monitoring frequency.
Mercury was shown to have a maximum predicted concentration of 8.6 ng/L, which is below the
actual WQ standard of 12 ng/L. Applying the half standard, and taking into account dilution, the
limit would be 10.6 ng/L. Since there is no reasonable potential, the mercury limit in the existing
permit will be removed. Because the maximum number is greater than 50% of the limit,
quarterly monitoring will be proposed. The highest actual sampling value reported during this
monitoring period (2007 to the present) was 6.6 ng/L.
Copper and zinc both demonstrated reasonable potential. As action level parameters, they will
be monitored quarterly, with no limits. As mentioned in the compliance summary, there have
been no failures of the toxicity test from 2007 until the present.
PROPOSED CHANGES:
The following changes were made from the existing permit:
• Changed the monitoring frequency for total copper and total zinc from monthly to
quarterly.
• Deleted the limit for total mercury and changed the monitoring frequency to quarterly.
• Added a footnote for TRC, accounting for the Division's policy regarding maximum
quantitation levels.
• Removed condition A (4) regarding monitoring frequencies.
• Due to reasonable potential to cause an exceedance of water quality standards, added
limits and monitoring requirements for cyanide.
• Deleted cadmium limits and changed monitoring to quarterly.
• The requirement for instream fecal monitoring instream will be deleted.

The Town of West Jefferson has three aerobic digesters that are used for
storage and assimilation. Total storage ability is approximately 250,000
gallons. Thorough aeration. and mixing occur within the digesters using
coarse air diffusers.
Measurement of PH is performed using a Sension 1 PH meter. An activity
log is kept documenting dates of land application, PH, and temperature. We
are using the 30 Day Bench Scale to satisfy the PSRP and Vector attraction
reduction criteria. Samples are analyzed on the sludge per 503 regulations
and soil samples are taken on the application sites annually.
Once the contents of the digester meet PSRP and Vector attraction criteria,
sludge is removed from the unit and land applied by surface method. Sludge
can be transferred from any other digester to prepare it for surface
application.
