MEMORANDUM
TO: Toya Fields, NPDES Unit
Division of Water Quality
FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: October 20, 2003
SUBJECT: Proposed Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Permit Renewal,
Muddy Creek (NC0081621), Rocky River, Cabarrus County
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have
reviewed the subject draft permits for impacts to fish and wildlife. Our comments are
provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48
Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-
131 et seq.), and the North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 10I.0102.
The referenced renewal is a request for the Water and Sewer Authority of
Cabarrus County to continue to discharge treated wastewater from the Muddy Creek
WWTP to the Rocky River in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. Suitable habitats for
federal and state listed species may be present in Rocky River, including habitat suitable
for the federal and state endangered Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata). We
appreciate the efforts of the Division of Water Quality to improve water quality in the
Rocky River.
We are concerned about chlorine in effluent. Chlorine is acutely toxic to aquatic
organisms and forms secondary compounds that are also detrimental to aquatic life. We
also have concerns regarding daily ammonia concentrations. Freshwater mussels are
among the most sensitive aquatic organisms tested for impacts from ammonia, and
ammonia may be a significant limiting factor for unionids (Augspurger et al., in press).
Recent research by Augspurger et al. (in press) found that ammonia concentrations which
may be protective of freshwater mussels range from 0.3 to 1.0 mg/L total ammonia as N
at pH8.
We recommend that the following conditions be incorporated into the permit to
reduce impacts to fish and wildlife resources and in particular to mussels.

Muddy Creek WWTP
NC0081621 Renewal
October 20, 2003
1. The use of chlorine should be discontinued by installing ultra -violet or ozone
disinfection. Utilization of this technique should provide the additional benefit of
removing a hazardous material from the environment and the workplace. We
recommend that permit requirements preclude the use of chlorine anytime,
especially during plant upsets or emergency situations to meet fecal limits.
2. We recommend a reevaluation of ammonia limits based on the research discussed
above and readjusting the limits as appropriate. Generally, ammonia limits
should be reduced to the extent practicable. Ammonia and pH monitoring should
be required daily. Daily composite sampling may be appropriate for ammonia.
You may contact Tom Augspurger with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at
(919) 856--4520 for additional information.
3. If not already in place, we suggest the installation of automatic stand-by power
generation to prevent plant emergencies and upsets from power outages.
4. Privately owned and operated WWTPs in the area should connect to this publicly
owned WWTP whenever feasible and practicable.
Although other factors may also contribute to aquatic habitat degradation, the
above considerations and measures are appropriate to help protect aquatic habitats that
support or may support listed state and federal species.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input during the planning stages for this
project. If we can be of further assistance, please contact me at 336-769-9453.

We are requesting that you add a footnote to the permit NCO081621 for the Muddy Creek
WWTP. The current permit is scheduled to expire October 31, 2003.
The permit adequately describes the wastewater treatment plant. We would like to
continue with the tiered flows of .075 MGD, .150MGD1 .300 MGD in the new permit
with the additional footnote in each, which states as follows:
"Monitoring upstream (U) and downstream (D) are provisionally waived, based on
membership in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin Association. If at any time during the term
of this permit, membership is terminated, the Permittee shall notify the Division
immediately, and immediately conduct instream monitoring as stipulated in this permit."

We are requesting a renewal of the permit NCO081621 for the Muddy Creek WWTP.
The current permit is scheduled to expire October 31, 2003. There have been no changes
at the facility since issuance of the last permit.
The permit adequately describes the wastewater treatment plant. We would like to
continue with the tiered flows of .075 MGD, .150MGD, .300 MGD in the new permit.
Our sludge management plan consists of truck hauling excess bio-solids to the Rocky
River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, NPDES Permit No. NC0036269, for final
disposal. The Rocky River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant is owned and operated
by the Water and Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County.
The permit renewal Package Checklist is enclosed. If you have any questions, please
contact me at [phone] EXT. 11 or fax [phone].
Sincerely,
urr
Water Operations Manager
