Taylorsville WWTP
Your NPDES permit for a municipally owned/operated WWTP expires on March 31, 2005. This advance notice is
being sent to explain the new requirements for your permit renewal application.
You are receiving this advance notice because your facility has a permitted flow at or above 1 MGD, or your.
WWTP has a pretreatment.program. If either of these criteria no longer apply to your facility, contact the NPDES
Unit before. submitting a renewal application.
Federal (40 CFR 122) and state (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications be filed
at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. Your renewal application is due to the Division no later
than October 2, 2004. Failure to apply for renewal by the appropriate deadline may result in a civil penalty
assessment or other enforcement activity at the discretion of the Director.
The U.S. EPA revised and expanded the application requirements for municipal permits, effective August 1, 2001.
EPA forms 1 and 2A are attached to this Notice, and must be used for your permit renewal application. The new
application requirements mandate additional effluent testing:
1. Conduct three Priority Pollutant Analyses (PPAs) and submit results with your renewal application.
Collect samples for the PPAs in conjunction with sampling for your current quarterly toxicity test. The
new PPA requirements differ from previous versions. Each PPA must include:
➢ Analyses for all total recoverable metals listed in Part D of form 2A. This includes metals that are
not normally monitored through your NPDES permit.
➢ Analyses for total phenolic compounds and hardness.
➢ Analyses for all of the volatile organic compounds listed in Part D.
➢ Analyses for all of the acid -extractable compounds listed in Part D.
➢ Analyses for all base -neutral compounds listed in Part D.
2. Conduct four toxicity tests for an organism other than Ceiiodaphnia and submit results with your renewal
application. The tests should be conducted quarterly, with samples collected on the same day as your
current toxicity test. Call the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at [phone] for guidance in conducting the
additional tests.
These additional analyses must accompany your permit renewal application, or any request for a major permit
modification. The Division cannot draft your permit without the additional data. Any data submitted cannot be
over 4'/z years old, and must account for seasonal variation (samples cannot be collected during the same season
each year if collected over multiple years).

If your permit already contains a requirement for an annual effluent pollutant scan, additional scans are not
required [provided you have conducted at least 3 scans prior to submitting your application].
If any wastewater discharge will occur after the current permit expires, this NPDES permit must be renewed.
Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate Federal and North Carolina law. Unpermitted
discharges of wastewater could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day. If all wastewater
discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Vanessa Manuel of the Division's
Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 532. You may also contact the Mooresville Regional
Office at [phone] to begin the rescission process.
Use the checklist below to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must
submit with the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact me. My telephone number, fax
number and e-mail address are listed at the bottom of the previous page.

corrective steps have been taken at our treatment facility:
SELF MONITORING PROGRAM
(I) -An ammended January 2002 DMR has been sent to
Raleigh.
(2)-DMR forms now show Cyanide testing as a "GRAD"
sample, and cyanide sampling is being taken in such manner.
(3)-Performance Annual Reporting will be dome on a Fiscal
Year instead of a calendar year .... I used the improper term
"calendar" on the 2001 report.
(4)-A, new Back-up ORC has been hired who has a Grade IV
lice w' ..I9iis name is Mr. Darren Webb-(cert#19194).
I+'A� T V SITE VEIW/OPERATIONS &
MAINTENANCE

disposedl-sf in the dumpster: s'&r both Clarifiers, algae will
mays grow within the trougb-.of a` clarifier. I midst be
careful while cleaning to avoid sloughing into the effinent.
Troughs were cleaned soon after inspection, and the small
