Dear Mr. Everett:
In reference to our August 17, 1990 letter requesting a time
extension for the construction of the Pilot Creek Belt Press
Facility (as required by JOC# 88-31 and to your response in Consent
Judgment Amendment (JoC# 88-31 Ad.II) we have just received
information, see attachment, which will further delay the start-up
of the belt press.
On October 4, 1990 the belt press was delivered and installed
in the newly constructed belt press facility. Construction is
still in process and we expect the building will be complete by
mid -December. However, the polymer -feed system, some pumps and the
electrical control panel have been delayed in manufacturing and
thusly the delivery is scheduled' for January 29, 1991 with
installation completion of February 22, 1991.
Based on the delivery delays of critical component parts, the
installation, testing and start-up, we request a, time extension for
the construction completion of the Belt Press to April 22;
We feel we can still meet the compliance date of May 1, 1991 for
achieving the effluent limits.
Construction of the $ 3,470,595..00 sewerage treatment plant
expansion and improvements 'continues to progress. The entire
project is 25% complete; whereas, since the contract places
priority of the Belt Press construction, this portion of the
construction is 45% complete.
The Historical City

The Pilot Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant is still uti 1 i zing
the rental belt press and we are continuing to stay within the
p 1 ant' s effluent d i scharge .1 i mi,ts . We Will also continue to lease
this rental belt press until the new belt press is operating.

SUBJECT: City of Kings 4ountain, McGill Plant
JOC 89-02
Cleveland County
On November 20, 1989, the City of Kings Mountain requested
amendment of their JOC # 89-02; the regional staff transmitted a
package containing the requested mod:ification to the Central Office on
December 1, 1989. The modification package was not processed and was
recently returned to the Region. Due to passage of time and other
factors,- modification of JOC 89-02 is not appropriate; JOC 89-02
expired February 1, 1990. With the exception of one nickel violation
in November 1989, the City of. Kings Mountain's McGill Plant has been
compliance with all effluent limitations for the period October 1989
through March 30, 1990. Based upon current conditions, the McGill
Plant does not need a JOC. The City indicated their concurrence in a
letter dated April 26, 1990 (copy attached).
The Regional recommendation is that we return the City's
processing fee of $100.00 since we have never acknowledged their JOC
modification request of November 20, 1989.

As you recall last October 1989 a joint meeting was held with
key representatives from your Regional Office and the City of Kings
Mountain to discuss problems at the City's McGill Wastewater
Treatment Plant. At the time it was agreed that McGill Plant's
problems could be alleviated by a Judicial Order by consent (JOC)'.
This meeting was followed by a period of negotiations which
produced the amending JOC (to JOC 89-02) of which you make
reference in your March 29, 1990 letter.
Rather than waiting for the State to approve the Amending JOC,
the City took immediate implementation action. A Third Party
contractor was hired (as required by the proposed Amending JOC) to
provide a "fresh look" as well as a "professional in depth" review
of the McGill Plant's operations. Since the City felt that the
benefits of this review would be significant, we also requested
that the contractor expand his scope of work beyond that of the
proposed Amending JOC and include the City's second wastewater
treatment plant at Pilot Creek.
Many manhours were spend by the City in providing several
years of operational data. The fruits of this labor became obvious
at the City's final outbriefing with the contractor. The
contractor provided the City an excellent detailed report of
recommended operational improvements for both plants. We are
taking immediate steps, as our budget will allow, in adopting the
helpful recommendations of this report.
Although the proposed Amending JOC was not processed, we feel
that the consequential advantages of such an action were achieved.
The City has an excellent "blue print" from which to proceed and
we have already beeto (pro_ve the McGill Plant operation.
The Historical City

We appreciate your help and involvement in improving the
operation of the City's two wastewater plants. We hope the report
will be as beneficial to you as it is for us.

Subject: JOC 88-31, Flow Allocation
City of Kings Mountain
Cleveland County
In response to your letter to the Director of the Division of
Environmental Management, concerning flow allocations for HH & NK Co.,
LTD and Pioneer Motor Bearing Company, particulars for connection to
the wastewater treatment and collection system are as described below:
HH & NK Co., LTD - So long as the City of Kings Mountain is
in compliance with the requirements of JOC 88-31 and so long
as capacity in accordance with Allocation # 1 issued August 1,
1988 exits, the City may at any time accept domestic waste from
this source.
Pioneer Motor Bearing Company - A conditional allocation for the
tin plating wastewater was issued by letter dated February 20,
1990. Prior to accepting the tin plating waste, the City must
issue a Significant Industrial User Pretreatment Permit approved
by the State's Pretreatment Unit. Preliminary to issuing a
Pretreatment Permit, Mr. Ronnie Tignor was updating the City of
Kings Mountain's headworks analysis the time of the Pretreatment
Inspection performed on April 5, 1990. After issuance of an
approved Pretreatment Permit, the City of Kings Mountain would be
able to immediately accept Pioneer Motor Bearing Company's
industrial waste stream provided the City were in compliance with
the conditions of JOC 88-31.

In response to your May 9, 1990 letter concerning
your inspection of our Pilot Creek Facility we wish to reply
as follows:
First, we very much appreciate the consideration shown us
in your comments concerning fecal and flow. We are about to
lose the considerable contact time provided in the effluent
line due to the requirement for de -chlorination. We feel this
lose will work to detriment of both ourselves and the waters
of the state, but we intend to comply.
On the problem with sampling frequency, we have investigated
and find this to be a problem of insufficient care being
exercised in filling out the monthly report. Our operators
have been advised of this problem and it will be corrected.

Subject: Compliance Pretreatment Inspection
Status: In Compliance
City of Kings Mountain
NPDES Permit Number NC0020737
Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Wood:
The City of Kings Mountain's Pretreatment Program was audited on
April 5, 1990, by Mr. Steve Scofield (Environmental Protection Agency) and
the writer. Audit findings indicated that the City had successfully
complied with the requirements of Judicial Order by Consent Number 89-02
for pretreatment and were for the most part correctly administering the
Pretreatment Program. Comments concerning specific pretreatment items are
listed below:
1. Additional information is needed on the status of the
interjurisdictional agreements (IJA's) between the City and the
Counties of Gaston and Cleveland. Apparently the counties had not as
of April 5, 1990, responded to the draft agreements presented by the
City around November, 1989. Please advise me of the current IJA
situation.
2. The City must verify that accurate flow data is part of the
Pretreatment Program. Phillips Dupont's flow data appeared
irregular. The industrial user's self -monitoring report for November
28, 1989, showed a flow of 4500 gallons; data generated by the City
for the same date revealed a flow of 2800 gallons.
3. Two compliance judgement errors, appearing to be clerical in
nature, were discovered in the semiannual report for the period July
1, 1989 through December 31, 1989. -The "reportable non-compliance"
sheet for Anvil Knitwear incorrectly identified the industry as being
in reportable non-compliance for total. suspended solids. The public

notice dated "2:1:90" and appearing in the semiannual report listed
Anvil Knitwear as not being in compliance with their oil and grease
limitation; the "reportable non-compliance" sheet for the industry
revealed compliance with the oil and grease limitation.
4. Since "Indirect Discharger Monitoring Reporting Forms"
had only 1 space in which to indicate whether samples were "grab" or
"composite", samples for which grab collection was required appeared
to have been collected as composite samples. In cases where sample
results requiring different collection methods are to appear on the
same "Indirect Discharger Monitoring Reporting Form", differentiating
collection procedures by handwriting "grab" alongside the appropriate
result is recommended.
The City of Kings Mountain's adherence to the Pretreatment Program
schedule in JOC Number 89-02 reveals expenditure of much effort by the
City in establishing a largely satisfactory Pretreatment Program. The
cooperation of all responsible is acknowledged and appreciated. Please
contact me if there are questions or matters in which I may be of
assistance.

Dear Mr. DeWeese:
We are in receipt of your letter of April 26, 1990 concerning
the regulatory requirement for Operator Classification upgrade for
the Pilot Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility, Permit No.
NC0020737. We concur in your findings of upgrading this facility
from a Class III to a Class IV as a result of the proposed
construction expansion.
With the assistance of the Asheville Regional Office, this
plant 'is currently operating excellently (Class IV operator) and
staying within all permit requirements. Likewise, our pretreatment
program is one of the best in the County, if not in the State. We
will notify you of the name of the Class IV operator for Pilot
Creek.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr Wood:
Compliance Sampling Inspections
Status: In Compliance
Pilot Creek Treatment Facility
NPDES Permit Numbers NCO020737
Cleveland County
The writer and Mr. Thomas Plou:f— (US EPA) inspected the Pilot
Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility on April 18, 1990. A copy of the
inspection report is attached.
Observations and sample results indicated that the facility was
operating substantially in compliance with the requirements of the City
of Kings Mountain's Judicial Order by Consent (JOC) number 88-31. The
fecal coliform results in the attached report were in excess of the JOC
limitation (1000 as a monthly geometric mean), but the inspection
sample was composited from the ends of the chlorine contact basins and
therefore did not reflect the considerable contact time provided in the
effluent line. Due to the sample not having been collected at the
point of discharge, the fecal result was not judged to be in violation
of the JOC limitation for fecal coliform. The volume of flow which
occurred during collection of the composite sample was also in excess
of the monthly average flow limitation of 4.0 million gallons per day.
Weekend flow volumes however normally reduce the monthly average value
to a number less than or equal to the JOC limits of 4.0 million gallons
per day. Since the City of Kings Mountain is in the midst of preparing
plans for expansion of the Pilot Plant's capacity, the volume of flow
measured during the inspection was not of particular concern..
However, one item of concern was discovered during review of
self -monitoring reports. During recent months, self -monitoring has not
been conducted at the frequencies required in Attachment A of JOC
Interchange Building, 59 Woodfin Place, Asheville, N.C. 28801 • Telephone [phone]

number 88-31. Increased efforts must be directed toward the monitoring
schedule in the City of Kings Mountain's JOC. Each failure to comply
with a monitoring schedule requirement is a violation for which
enforcement proceedings could be initiated. The issue of frequency
violations was previously discussed in an inspection report cover
letter dated January 1989.
The inspectors were pleased to note that`the method for collection
of influent samples had been changed from time based to flow
proportional since the January 24, 1989 inspection. Overall the
facility appeared to be well maintained. Please contact me if there
are questions or a need for assistance with matters related to the City
of Kings Mountain's wastewater treatment program.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Kent Wiggins
Environmental Emerge c:y Response and Enforcement
THROUGH: Forrest R. Wes a.
Regional Water y Supervisor
FROM: James R. Reid
Environmental C:h 4---Z
SUBJECT: JOC 88-31 Amendment
City of Kings Mountain.
Pilot Wastewater Treatment :Facility, NPDES NCO020737
Cleveland County, North Carolina
Please find attached proposed amendments for the City of Kings
Mountain's JOC 88-31. The check in the amount. of $100.00 for the
processing fee was previously forwarded in a separate envelope. The
City of Kings Mountain operates two wastewater treatment facilities,
the Pilot Plant and McGill Plant; the SOC for which subject
modification is requested concerns exclusively the Pilot Plant.
The remainder of this memorandum will serve as the JOC staff
report and follows the format for such staff reports.
1. Copy of the MP_ Printout for the Pilot Plant - covering the 12
month period 8904 through 9003 is attached following the proposed
JOC modification and associated documents submitted by the City.
2. Discussion as to wly_ amendment is required - JOC 88-31
filed June 27, 1988, was based upon the premise that City would
have sufficient funds to construct needed upgrades at the Pilot
Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility. The bids for the project
have been somewhat in excess of engineering estimates plus
dechlorination requirements 1Zave been implemented by the Division
since the JOC was entered i..nt r) . Due t:.o higher than expected bid.s

and the unforeseen dechlorination requirement, the City needs to
"pinch every penny" on this project. The selected contractor has
offered the City a savings of $30,000 if the schedule currently in
JOC 88-31 can be extended by 60 days. The regional staff believe
that a $30,000 saving is certainly sufficient and just reason to
extend JOC 88-31's schedule by 60 days.
3. Past SOC and enforcement actions - City was assessed a
civil penalty of $22,000 in 1986 for effluent violations and
inadequate operation of the McGill Treatment facility (this JOC
modification concerns exclusively the Pilot plant). A new
Mayor, City Council, City Manager, and City Engineer have taken
office since the assessment in 1986. The new officials and staff
are responsive, concerned, and committed to operation of an
adequate wastewater treatment program, characteristics which were
completely lacking in the previous administration.
JOC 88-31 (for the Pilot Plant which is the subject of this
action) was filed June 27, 1988, and was subsequently modified
October 17, 1989. The October 1989, modification extended the
"complete construction" and "achieve compliance" dates by 5 months
due to the projects being more complex than originally envisioned.
JOC 88-31 requires that the City modify the Pilot facility,
upgrade staffing, and construct additional treatment equipment
including sludge handling apparatus. The City is currently and
has been in compliance with JOC 88-31. since its effective date.
4. This is not a 201 project.
5. The Regional Water Quality Staff discussed the requested JOC
modification with a City of Kings Mountain Official on May 30,
1990. City personnel and regional staff were in agreement
concerning the proposed amendments-
6. The Mayor of Kings Mountain is authorized to negotiate the
JOC amendments; his name and tF�lephov).e number are;
Kyle F- Smith.

Re: JOC Extension
City of Kings Mountain
Pilot Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant
Dear Mr. Reid:
GEORGE A. WOOD
CITY MANAGER
The City of Kings Mountain would like to request the following
modification to its Judicial Order by Consent (JOC #88-31) under
which the City of Kings Mountain is currently operating:
a) Complete construction of Sludge Handling Facilities
September 1, 1990 - Revise date to November 1, 1990.
b) Achieve compliance for final effluent limitations
November 1, 1990 - Revise date nuary 1. 199
Due to the tight construction schedule, the Contractor as
offered a $30,000 savings in project cost in order to receive a 60
day extension in construction time. The bids for the project ere
all in excess of allotted funds; therefore, the City needs t take
advantage of any savings that could be realized.
Sincerely, v

Dear Ms Moss:
Ann B. Orr
Regional Manager
Subiect.: Current NPDES Permit Limits
City of Kings Mountain -
Pilot Plant
Cleveland County
During the inspection of the Pilot Creek Wastewater Treatment
facility which was conducted on April.. 18, 1990, I collected samples in
accordance with schedules in both the NPDES Permit which will expire
January 31, 1994 and the Special Order by Consent (SOC) which will
expire August 1, 1991 (after modification)_ The purpose for collecting
samples in accordance with requirements of both documents was to judge
the Pilot Plant's ability to comply witli metals .limitations in the
NPDES Permit which will become effective after expiration of the SOC.
Metals results from samples collected on April. 1.8, 1990, suggest that
the City of Kings Mountain will be able to comply with metals
limitations which will become effective after August 1, 1991. The
City is encouraged to perform occasional_ in,etal_s analyses to confirm
that metals concentrations Rre. ronsi:,t:Pnt-ly l.ow_ Copies of the metals
results are attached.
Thank you for your attention t.n this matte. Please contact me
if there is a need for additional_ informal-.ir)n.

SUBJECT: City of Kings Mountain, McGill Plant
JOC # 89-02
Cleveland County
I have received your memo of ' May 4, 1990, with an attached letter
from the City of Kings Mountain outlining the City's most recent
actions undertaken to address instances of noncompliance at the
McGill Plant.
The Asheville Regional Office recommended that City's processing fee
of $100.00 be returned since no formal notification of check receipt
was made. Regulation NCAC 2H .1015(b)(1)(F) does not mention that
the processing fees for Judicial Orders are refundable, however,
.0105(b)(1). states that "a nonrefundable application processing fee..."
shall be submitted at the time of application.
It was my understanding that at the time the regulation was written
the processing fees for Special Orders, Judicial Orders, and flow
allocation requests would be nonrefundable. The regulation has not
been challenged and in most cases we are able to justify the $100.00
processing fee by simply suggesting to the requesting party that
sufficient staff time has been devoted to processing the document,
therefore, the fee is nominal. I have routinely instructed regional
offices in the past that the fee was nonrefundable and I am unaware
of any case in which the fee was returned. In an effort to maintain
consistency, I recommend that we do not remit the processing fee.
Should you have any questions, please contact me.

CHRONIC TOXICITY TESTING REQUIREMENT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity tests,
using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina CeriodUhnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *February 1987) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 25 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure
document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish
compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from
issuance of this permit during the months of . Effluent
sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NP S p rmitted final effluent discharge below
all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Technical Services Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in, association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management 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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

SUBJECT_: WLA Approval F rm Comments
City of Kings Mountain
Pilot Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility
NPDES Permit Number NCO020737
Cleveland County
The subject "Wasteload Allocation Approval Form" recommends that
the Pilot Plant's NPDES Permit contain a provision requiring that the
City of Kings Mountain detail means by which chlorine will be reduced
to the action level in Buffalo Creek. The Regional Staff believe that
including such a requirement is unnecessary and suggest that the
chlorine provision not be included in the Pilot Plant's permit.
2B.0211(b)(4) requires that the discharger monitor the effects of
the action level parameter. The renewal permit will contain a chronic
toxicity limitaion and monitoring requirement which would be expected
to reveal adverse impacts attributable to chlorine. Attached is a copy
of the toxicitysummary for the Kings Mountain Pilot Plant along with
test data for the months of December 1988 and March 1989; the attached
data reveals 5 consecutive "pass results for the Pilot Plant
suggesting that chlorine toxicity is not a problem.

Page Two
Should chlorine toxicity become a problem in the future, the City
would certainly be required to address the issue. Until such time as
a problem is demonstrated, DEM is not believed to have a basis for
requirirng dechlorination or alternative disinfection based upon an
action level. I will advise the City that future action concerning
chlorine may be required. Until such time as there is greater
evidence of a chlorine problem, the regional staff recommend only
continued observation with no permit stipulation concerning chlorine.

SUBJECT: Special Condition for Kings Mountain WWTP
NPDES No. NC0020737, Cleveland County
The recently revised North Carolina Water Quality Regulations (15 NCAC
2B .0211(L)(4)) state that if an "Action Level" is determined by the waste -
load allocation to be exceeded under design low flow conditions, efforts
shall be made by all dischargers to reduce or eliminate this substance from
their effluents. The level of chlorine in Kings Mountain's discharge aver-
ages 556 ug/l. This value far exceeds the allowable concentration of 52
ug/1 as determined by a mass balance using the total residual chlorine
action level of 17 ug/l. Therefore, per the regulation referenced above, a
special condition shall be placed in their NPDES permit to require reduction
efforts. The following wording is suggested:
"The level.of chlorine has been detected in the subject permittee's
effluent far in excess of that necessary to maintain the Action Level for
this substance as prescribed in Title 15 of the North Carolina Administra-
tive Code, Section 2B .0211 (L)(4). Therefore, the permittee shall under-
take all reasonable measures necessary to reduce or eliminate this substance
from its effluent. Within 60 days from the issuance of this permit, the
perrmittee submit a plan to the Water Quality Section of the Divisign of
Environmental Management outlining what steps will be taken to reduce or
eliminate chlorine from the discharge. The plan shall also include a tip`
schedule for these steps to be completed."
If there are any questions regarding.this matter, please contact tire.

CHRONIC TOXICITY TESTING REQUIREMENT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity tests;
using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioatssay Procedure - Revised `February 1987) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 33 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure
document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish
compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from
issuance of this permit during the months of UZ oeT Effluent -
sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below
all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this pernut condition will be entered on the Effluent � " v
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter .
code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Technical Services Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all •,upporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure: to meet specified limits, then`monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that �t single test is passed;. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the nionths specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests perfoimed by the North'Carolina
Division of Environmental Management 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 and appropriate.environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

I. The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive
toxicity tests, using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina
Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised *June 1988) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 25% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure
document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to
establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty
days from issuance of this permit 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.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the
Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using
the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the
following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical
measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response
data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if
chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing,
this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be reopened 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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid

test and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure
to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
J. The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive
toxicity tests, using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina
Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised *June 1988) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 33% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure
document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to
establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty
days from issuance of this permit during the months of January, April, July, and October.

control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid
test and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure
to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
K. The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment
plant. The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must
be completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral
extractables; (d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other
inorganics. The Annual Pollutant Analysis (APA) Monitoring Requirement Reporting Form A,
to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement, describes the
sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant
analysis. This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis"
(APA).
2) Other significant levels of synthetic organic chemicals must be identified and
approximately quantified. For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10
GC/MS peaks in each organic chemical analytic fraction (or fewer than 10, if less. than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Monitoring
Requirement Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in
the APA Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APA monitoring requirement
is to be referred to as the "10 significant peaks rule".

Dear Mr. Howard:
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received on November 1, 1989,
by the Division and final plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and
found to be satisfactory. Authorization is hereby granted for the construction of sludge handling
facilities for the City of Kings Mountain's Pilot Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility which
consists of the installation of a floating aerator into an existing sludge holding tank, the
construction of a sludge pump station with a macerator and dual 250 GPM rotary pumps, a
washwater pump station with a 48 inch wetwell and dual 88 GPM effluent pumps, a 500 gallon
washwater storage tank, a polymer feed system with a polymer feed pump, a polymer storage and
mix tank, a polymer feeder, a continuous belt filter press designed for 200 GPM, a sludge
conveyor, a slide gate, a sludge hopper, and all other appurtenances with the discharge of treated
wastewater into Buffaloe Creek in the Broad River Basin.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III paragraph B of
NPDES Permit No. NCO020737 issued February 27, 1989, and shall be subject to revocation
unless the wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and
limitations specified in Permit No. NC0020737.
The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with
G.S. 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be

SECTION E. DEFINITION
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development. 3. EMC:
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control. Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as
amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It is
therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by
the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is
identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of
all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week
(Sunday -Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,
divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured
during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by
adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then
dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a
pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is
taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from
it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as
"Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 12 of 14
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily
discharges sample and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily
discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an
arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of
the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the
permit.
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all -daily discharges
samples and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected
during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average"
under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is'equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during
that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar
week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other
Limits' in Part I of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant
discharge during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any
calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the
"Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under
"Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 13 of 14
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The
daily concentration value is equal to the 'concentration of a composite
sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The
average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean
of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This
limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits' in Part I
of the permit.
e. The "daily minimum concentration" (for dissolved oxygen only) is the
minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in
the effluent prior to discharge. It is identified as "Daily Minimum" under
"Other Limits" in Part III of the permit.
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours
average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean
of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar_ month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time
of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the
total discharge.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time
of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which
case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a
period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken
manually.

Part II
Page 14 of 14
9. Calculation of Means
a. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation
of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of
the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of
individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of
the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For
purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).
C. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the
respective flows.
10. Calendar D
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight
of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour
period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CPR Part 116
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of
the Clean Water Act.

issued or approved under Section 302(b)(2)(c), and (d), 304(b)(2), and
307(a)(2) of the Clean Water Act, if the effluent guideline or water
quality standard so issued or approved:
1. contains different conditions or is otherwise more stringent than
any effluent limitation in the permit; or
2. controls any pollutant not limited in the permit
This permit as modified or reissued under this paragraph shall also contain
any other requirements in the Act then applicable.
H. Toxicity Reopener
This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued to incorporate
toxicity limitations and/or monitoring requirements in the event toxicity
testing or other studies conducted on the effluent or receiving stream
indicate that detrimental effects may be expected in the receiving stream
as a result of this discharge.

I. ,The effluent discharge shall at - no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive
toxicity tests, using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina
Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised `June 1988) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 25% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure
document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to
establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty
days from issuance of this permit 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.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the
Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using
the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the
following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical
measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response
data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if
chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing,
this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be reopened 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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid

t - test and will require imme s retesting (within 30 days of initia mitoring event). Failure
to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
i
J. The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive
toxicity tests, using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina
Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised *June 1988) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 33% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure
document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to
establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty
days from issuance of this permit 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.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the
Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using
the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the

NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and, appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid
test and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure
to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
K. The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment
plant. The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must
be completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral
extractables; (d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other
inorganics. The Annual Pollutant Analysis (APA) Monitoring Requirement Reporting Form A,
to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement, describes the
sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant
analysis. This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis"
(APA). -
2) Other significant levels of synthetic organic chemicals must be identified and
approximately quantified. For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10
GC/MS peaks in each organic chemical analytic fraction (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Monitoring
Requirement Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in
the APA Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APA monitoring requirement
is to be referred to as the "10 significant peaks rule".

Dear Mr. 011is:
On December 1,1989 the Division of Environmental Management issued NPDES Permit
No. NCO020737 to the City of Kings Mountain. A review of the permit file has indicated that an
error was inadvertently made in the permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding herewith a
modification to correct the heading on the summer effluent page for 6.0 MGD. The heading on
this page correctly reads "...beginning after expansion above 4.0 MGD and lasting until
expiration...".
Attached is a revised effluent sheet which should be inserted into your permit. The old
effluent sheet should be discarded.
All other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged and in full
effect. This permit modification is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency. This permit modification becomes effective immediately.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit
modification are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written
request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of
a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed
with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 11666, Raleigh, North Carolina
27604. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.

SECTION E. DEFINITION
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development.

4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as
amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It is
therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by
the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is.
identified as "Daily Average" or "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of
all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week
(Sunday -Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,
divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured
during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by'
adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then
dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a
pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is
taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from
it is the "maximum daily discharge." This -limitation is identified as
"Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all
daily discharges sample and/or measured during the calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is,
therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of
pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as
"Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 12 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges
samples and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily 'discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected
during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" or
"Daily Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled
.and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during
'that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar
week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other
Limits" in Part I of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant
discharge during a calendar day. It is identified as "Daily Maximum"
under "Other Limits' in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,
is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or
measured duringa calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The
daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite
sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic -mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The
average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean
of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation
is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits." in Part I of the
permit.

Part II
Page 13 of 14
7. Other Measurements,
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours
average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean
of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time
of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the
total discharge.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time
of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which
case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided,however, in
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a
period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken
manually.
9. Calculation of Means
a. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation
of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of
the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of
individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of
the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For
purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).
C. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the
respective flows.

A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight
of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour
period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of
the Clean Water Act.

quality standard so issued or approved:
1. contains different conditions or is otherwise more stringent than
any effluent limitation in the permit; or
2. controls any pollutant not limited in the permit.
This permit as modified or reissued under this paragraph shall also contain
any other requirements in the Act then applicable.
H. Toxicity Reopener
This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued to incorporate
toxicity limitations and/or monitoring requirements in the event toxicity
testing or other studies conducted on the effluent or receiving stream
indicate that detrimental effects may be expected in the receiving stream
as a result of this discharge.

I. Chronic Toxicity Testing Requirement
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity consecutive toxicity tests, using test procedures outlined in: in any two
1)• The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North
Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised *February 1987) or subsequent
versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of
reproduction or significant mortality is 25% (defined as treatment two
in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform
quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the
permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from
issuance of this permit 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.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will
be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which
it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM
from AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Technical Services Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting
chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests,
as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent
toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified
limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a
single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to
quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to
the receiving stream, this permit may be reopened 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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall
constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of
Initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will
constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

T• The permittee shall. conduct a test for priority pollutants annually at the
effluent from the treatment plant. The discharge shall be evaluated as follows:
1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be completed annually using
EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions:
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (a)
(c) base/neutral extractables; d (b) acid extractables;
( ) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's
(e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The Annual
Pollutant Analysis (APA) Monitoring Requirement Reporting Form A, to
be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement,
describes the sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals
to be included in the pollutant analysis. This monitoring requirement
is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis" (APA).
2) Other significant levels of synthetic organic chemicals must be
identified and approximately quantified. For the purpose of
implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in each
organic chemical analytic fraction (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks) occur for chemicals other than those specified on
the APA Monitoring Requirement Reporting Form A should be identified
and approximately quantified as stated in the APA Reporting Form A
instructions. This part (item 2) of the APA monitoring requirement is
to be referred to as the "10 significant peaks rule".

RE: JOC Modification
City of Kings Mountain
Pilot Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant
Dear Mr. Reid:
GEORGE A. WOOD
CITY MANAGER

Water QU,1lity sedlf)'i
MAY 13 1 1989
,Asheville Reginna! Office
,Asheville, North Carolina
As a follow up to your letter of May 10, 1989 to Mr. David Pond,
the City of Kings Mountain would like to request the following modifications
be made to its Judicial Order by Consent (JOC) under which the City of
Kings Mountain is currently operating:
4. Complete construction of sludge facilities - Revise from
April 1, 1990 to September 1, 1990.
5. Achieve compliance for final effluent limitations - Revise from
June 1, 1990 to February 1, 1991.
Justification for the above date revisions are as follows:
1. It is felt that a financial savings in the range of $200,000
might be realized if the sludge handling facilities are constructed
simultaneously with the 2 MGD expansion.
2. The City is concerned that coordination problems could occur due
to two general contractors working on the site simultaneously.
3. The City is presently renting a belt press and will continue doing
so during the construction period for dewatering of sludge.

JOC AMENDMENT
CITY OF KINGS MOUNTAIN
PILOT CREEK WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY
STAFF REPORT
JOC # 88-31
1. Summary of current treatment plant performance; see attached.
Both self -monitoring data and DEM inspection results show that the City
of Kings Mountain has been in compliance with JOC # 88-31 requirements
since it was entered into on June 27, 1988. Kings Mountain, with the
exception of pretreatment requirements, has recently had an extremely
good compliance, record; pretreatment is being addressed in a separate
JOC which is currently pending.
2. Justification for JOC Amendment --Amendment of JOC # 88-31 is
being requested by the City of Kings Mountain as a result of changing
sewer service demands identified after the current JOC became
effective. Planning conducted by- the City's consulting engineer, W.K.
Dickson Company, reveals the need .to expand the Pilot Creek Wastewater
Treatment Facility -by 2.0 MGD from the current 4.0 MGD capacity to 6.0
MGD. ' On May 5, 1989, DEM received from Kings Mountain a permit
application for the expansion to 6.0 MGD. Processing of a permit
allowing a_total flow of 6.0 MGD is in progress. Preliminary wasteload
allocations indicate that the expansion to 6.0 MGD is technically and
economically feasible.
The City's current JOC # 88-31 requires construction of sludge
processing and wasting facilities for the existing 4.0 MGD Pilot Creek:
Plant on or -before April 1, 1990. The City desires that the April 1,
1990,;date be changed to September 1, 1990. Construction of sludge
facilities could obviously be more easily and cheaply accomplished
concurrent with construction of the facility expansion to 6.0 MGD rather
than Ithe Citys trying to complete sludge facilities and a plant
expansion as two separate projects. The City will arrange the
construction schedule for the total project (plant expansion and sludge
facilities) so .that sludge facilities are the first aspect of the total
project. During the requested deadline extension for completion of
sludge facilities, the City will continue to use the rented belt press
which has been in operation for approximately one year. The rented
press has performed well and would be expected to meet the City's sludge
handling needs during the schedule extension.
Along with the request for extension of the deadline to complete
construction of sludge handling facilities, the City has desires that
the deadline for compliance with final final effluent limitations be be
extended from June 1, 1990, to February 1, 1991. This request for an
additional 8 months is viewed as reasonable since start-up time for the
expanded facility will be required.
3. JOC/SOC History --The City was operating the Pilot Plant under an
SOC issued 11-11-87 at the time it was -converted to a JOC on June 27,
1988. The City was in compliance with the SOC at the time it was
converted to JOC. A copy of the current JOC for which modification is
requested18.,iattached:

-2-
4. Construction Grant Impact --No schedule will intereferences will
occur as a result of the requested JOC modification.
5. DEM Contacts with POTW Officials-- A copy of the City's letter
requesting the JOC modification is attached. DEM staff conversation with
Mr. David Pond (V.P.-W.K. Dickson) supports the amount of savings stated
in the City's letter and the reasonableness of the requested deadline
extensions.
