Steven Biggs, Town Manager Town of Clayton Post Office Box 879 Clayton, North Carolina 27520 Dear Mr. Biggs: Division of Water Quality Coleen H. Sullins Dee Freeman Director Secretary March 15, 2010 Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance Little Creek Water Reclamation Facility Permit No. NCO025453 Johnston County In accordance with the application for discharge permit received and after considering comments received at the September 2009 public hearing, the Division is forwarding herewith the subject NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). The Division held the public hearing to take comments on the draft permits for Clayton -Little Creek Water Reclamation Facility (NC0025453), DuPont -Kinston (NC0003760), and Johnston County (NC0030716). The central issue at the hearing was the upstream transfer of nitrogen allocations from UNIFI/ DuPont to Clayton and Johnston County. Comments relevant to the Division's water quality programs, but not directly related to the permits, were also received. The hearing officers have worked diligently to ensure that these issues are addressed appropriately, and we regret the delay in taking final action on these permits. The hearing officers recently submitted their findings and recommendations to the Director for final action, and the Director has concurred with their report. The following recommendations apply to Clayton's permit and have been incorporated: 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Location: 512 N. Salisbury St. Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 Phone: 919-807-6300 \ FAX: 919-807-6492 \ Customer Service:1-877-623-6748 Internet: www.ncwaterquality.org An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer Nose Carolina �tura!ly a •� The Total Nitrogen limits in the three permits are modified as proposed to implement nitrogen transfers among the dischargers. The new limits are effective for calendar year 2010, also as proposed. The final permit authorizes the Town of Clayton to discharge treated municipal wastewater from the Little Creek Water Reclamation Facility to the Neuse River, a class WS-IV NSW CA water in the Neuse River Basin. The permit includes discharge limitations or monitoring for flow, total suspended solids (TSS), BOD5, ammonia nitrogen, dissolved oxygen, total residual chlorine, fecal coliform, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, copper, zinc, and chronic toxicity. The following procedure has been implemented by DWQ: Total residual chlorine (TRC) compliance level changed to 50 ug/L Effective March 1, 2008, the Division received EPA approval to allow a 50ug/L TRC compliance level. This change is due to analytical difficulties with TRC measurements. Facilities will still be required to report actual results on their monthly discharge monitoring report (DMR) submittals, but for compliance purposes, all TRC values below 50 ug/L will be treated as zero. Additional language regarding this change has been added to footnote 4. on the effluent limitations page. The following modifications in the August 12, 2009 draft permit remain in the final permit. The total nitrogen discharge limit increased to 22,832 lb/year, reflecting the transfer of 3,290 lb/year of discharge allocation from DuPont — Kinston (formerly UNIFI). At the request of the Town of Clayton, 1,4321b/year of the discharge allocation was added to the current 21,400 lb/year load (totaling 22,832 lb/year). The remaining 1,858 lb/year will be placed in reserve in the Town's permit. The change in the TN limit would become effective on January 1, 2010, that is, at the beginning of the upcoming calendar year. Please note Condition A. (4). Total Nitrogen Allocations in the permit for clarification. Monthly monitoring for silver has been removed from the permit. Based on the results of a reasonable potential analysis, it was determined that there was no reasonable potential for the discharge to exceed the water quality action level standard instream. There are language changes in Condition A. (5). Chronic Toxicity Permit Limit. There are some minor additions on DWQ forms to be submitted and clarification on reporting pollutant data on the discharge monitoring report and AT forms. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit 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, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding. Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. The Division may require modification revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other Federal or Local governmental permits may be required. _, If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Jacquelyn Nowell at telephone number (919) 807-6386.

I - Influent, U - Upstream at NCSR 1700, D - Downstream at (1) NC Highway 42 and (2) NCSR 1908. Stream samples shall be grab samples and shall be collected 3/Week during June - September and 1 /Week during the remaining months of the year. Instream monitoring is provisionally waived in light of the permittee's participation in the Lower Neuse Basin Association. Instream monitoring shall be conducted as stated in this permit should the permittee end its participation in the Association. Per 15A NCAC 2B .0505(c)(4), stream sampling (as well as influent/effluent sampling) may be discontinued when flow conditions could result in injury or death of the person(s) collecting the samples. In such cases, on each day that sampling is discontinued, written justification shall be specified in the monitoring report for the month in which the event occurred. 2. The monthly average effluent BOD5 and Total Suspended Solids concentrations shall not exceed 15% of the respective influent value (85% removal). 3. The daily average dissolved oxygen effluent concentration shall not be less than 6.0 mg/L. 4. Total residual chlorine is required only if chlorine is used as a disinfectant (or elsewhere in the process). The Division shall consider all effluent total residual chlorine values reported below 50 µg/L to be in compliance with the permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values reported by a North Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall below 50 µg/L. 5. For a given wastewater sample, TN = TKN + NO2-N + NO3-N, where TN is Total Nitrogen, TKN is Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen and NO2-N and NO3-N are Nitrate and Nitrite Nitrogen, respectively. 6. TN Load is the mass load of TN discharged by the Permittee in a period of time. See Special Condition A. (2.), Calculation of TN Loads. 7. Compliance with these limits shall be determined in accordance with Special Condition A. (3.), Annual Limits for Total Nitrogen. 8. The quarterly average for total phosphorus shall be the average of composite samples collected weekly during the calendar quarter (January -March, April -June, July -September, October -December). 9.

There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. Town of Clayton NPDES No. NCO025453 4 1 A. (2.) CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN LOADS a. The Permittee shall calculate monthly and annual TN Loads as follows: i. Monthly TN Load (lb/mo) = TN x TMF x 8.34 where: TN = the average Total Nitrogen concentration (mg/L) of the composite samples collected during the month TMF = the Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the month (MG/mo) 8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds H. Annual TN Load (lb/yr) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN Loads for the calendar year b. The Permittee shall report monthly Total Nitrogen results (mg/L and lb/mo) in the discharge monitoring report for that month and shall report each year's annual results (lb/yr) in the December report for that year. A. (3.) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TOTAL NITROGEN a. Total Nitrogen (TN) allocations and TN Load limits for NPDES dischargers in the Neuse River basin are annual limits and are applied for the calendar year. b.. For any given calendar year, the Permittee shall be in compliance with the annual TN Load limit in this Permit if- i. the Permittee's annual TN Load is less than or equal to said limit, or li. the Permittee is a Co-Permittee Member of a compliance association. c. The TN Load limit in this Permit (if any) may be modified as the result of allowable changes in the Permittee's TN allocation. i. Allowable changes include those resulting from purchase of TN allocation from the Wetlands Restoration Fund: purchase, sale, trade, or lease of allocation between the Permittee and other dischargers; regionalization; and other transactions approved by the Division. ft. The Permittee may request a modification of the TN Load limit in this Permit to reflect allowable changes in its TN allocation. Upon receipt of timely and proper application, the Division will modify the permit as appropriate and in accordance with state and federal program requirements. iii. Changes in TN limits become effective on January 1 of the year following permit modification. The Division must receive application no later than August 31 for changes proposed for the following calendar year. iv. Application shall be sent to: NCDWQ / NPDES Unit Attn: Neuse River Basin Coordinator 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Town of Clayton NPDES No. NC0025453 5 d. If the Permittee is a member and co-permittee of an approved compliance association, its TN discharge during that year is governed by that association's group NPDES permit and the TN limits therein. I. The Permittee shall be considered a Co-Permittee Member for any given calendar year in which it is identified as such in Appendix A of the association's group NPDES permit. ii. Association roster(s) and members' TN allocations will be updated annually and in accordance with state and federal program requirements. III. If the Permittee intends to join or leave a compliance association, the Division must be notified of the proposed action in accordance with the procedures defined in the association's NPDES permit.

CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 2.0 %. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, auarterlu 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 H 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. If reporting pass/fail results using the parameter code TGP3B, DWQ Form AT 1 (original) is sent to the below address. If reporting Chronic Value results using the parameter code THP3B, 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.

Town of Clayton NPDES No. NCO025453 9 .r Templeton, Mike From: Hyatt.Marshall@epamail.epa.gov Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 8:50 AM To: Templeton, Mike Subject: Re NCO030716 (Johnston Co. mod), NC0003760 (DuPont Kinston), and NCO025453 (Clayton Little Creek) draft NPDES permits After our review and discussion with you, EPA has concluded that the likelihood of hot spots resulting from these nitrogen trades is small because the Neuse River is free -flowing in the vicinity of the facility discharge points. Based on that determination, EPA has no comments on these draft permits. EPA does recommend that the fact sheet for each facility reflect this consideration. 1 It 4 i MoUT V • r o P sFT�y PUBLIC HEARING AND FINAL ACTION Prior to the 2007 renewal cycle for Neuse River basin permits, the Neuse Riverkeepers expressed concerns about pending nitrogen trades and requested a public hearing for the DuPont -Kinston (NC0003760), Clayton (NC0025453), Johnston County (NC0030716) permits. The hearing was expected to be held in the Fall of 2007. Work on the permits was then delayed when UNIFI announced the sale of its Kinston facility to DuPont. The sale would result in changes in operations at the facility, and it was necessary for DuPont to submit a revised permit application reflecting the anticipated changes in production. Permit writers resumed work on the permits once the application was received, and the Division published notice of the draft permits in the Raleigh News and Observer on August 15, 2009. The hearing was held on September 29, 2009, at the Wayne County Public Library in Goldsboro. The central issue was the sale of nitrogen allocation by UNIFI, LLC to the Town of Clayton and to Johnston County. Due to differences in the transport factors for UNIFI and for the upstream buyers, the transfer would result in an increase in discharge allowances even though the load delivered to the estuary would not increase. Due to uncertainties with the transport factors and with the overall effectiveness of the Neuse River nutrient reduction efforts, the Riverkeepers recommended against allowing the nitrogen transfers. The Riverkeepers also recommended that the mercury limit be restored in Johnston County's permit, based on apparent violations at the facility. The hearing officers made three permit -related recommendations, and the Director noted her concurrence on February 18, 2010: • Implement the nitrogen transfer as proposed. • Do not restore the mercury limit in Johnston County's permit. Further review showed that the apparent mercury violations were the result of data entry error (incorrect units of measure); thus, no violations occurred, and the limit is not warranted. • Incorporate technical corrections in DuPont's OCPSF limits, which were not a matter of contention at the hearing but were needed nonetheless. The hearing officers also made several recommendations not directly related to the permits, to address other issues raised at the hearing. The Director will address those matters separately from the permits. The final permits incorporate the permitting recommendations. The nitrogen limits are effective in CY2010, as proposed. Expiration dates for the DuPont and Clayton permits remain as proposed in order to keep them aligned with the basin permitting schedule for the Neuse River basin; the expiration date for the Johnston County permit has been modified to bring it into line with the schedule. The EPA's Region 4 office reviewed the draft permits prior to the public hearing and discussed potential issues regarding the nitrogen transfers with DWQ staff. Given that the Neuse River is free -flowing in the vicinity of the upstream discharge points, the EPA concluded that the likelihood of the trades resulting in 'hot spots' would be small and indicated that it had no further comments on the draft permits.

(an authorization to operate at 2.5 MGD was completed during the last permitting cycle). The plant serves approximately 12, 100 persons and the East Clayton Industrial Area. Average annual flow has been approximately 1.23 MGD (appx. 49% of permitted flow). The Clayton facility discharges to the mainstem of the Neuse River. According to the Basinwide Water Quality Management Plan for the Neuse, the primary water quality considerations for point sources in the basin are discharges of (1) oxygen -demanding substances and (2) nutrients. Antidegradation The Town of Clayton prepared an Environmental Assessment demonstrating that the recommended alternative is the most environmentally sound of the reasonably cost-effective options. The Division issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the expansion on February 24, 2002. The Division of Water Quality determined that the incremental impact of the increased discharge will not result in contravention of applicable water quality standards or loss of the river's designated uses. The Division concluded that expansion of the existing treatment plant and continued discharge to the Neuse River is the most feasible alternative. The expanded plant will serve as a regional treatment facility for the area. The Division has determined that the proposed expansion is necessary to accommodate social and economic growth in the area and that it will not result in contravention of surface water quality standards or loss of designated uses in the receiving stream. (this information is from the previous factsheet in 2003). Water Quality Considerations The Clayton facility discharges to the mainstem of the Neuse River. According to the Basinwide Water Quality Management Plan for the Neuse, the primary water quality considerations for point sources in the basin are discharges of (1) oxygen -demanding substances and (2) nutrients. NCO025453 Clayton NPDES Renewal Page 1 Oxygen Demand Prior to the issuance of the previous permit in 2003, the Modeling Unit evaluated the impact of increased wastewater flows on dissolved oxygen levels, using a QUAL2E model already developed for the Neuse River. The results show that, with an increase in the Town's discharge to 2.5 MGD, the D.O. level in the river will remain above the standard of 5.0 mg/L. Thus, the modeling results indicate the adverse impact of the expanded discharge to be acceptable. Nitrogen The Environmental Management Commission adopted Nutrient Management Strategy rules in December 1997, classifying the entire Neuse River Basin as Nutrient Sensitive Waters. The point source rule (T15A NCAC 2B .0234) sets Total Nitrogen (TN) discharge limits for all point source dischargers larger than 0.5 MGD. The rule also allows dischargers to form a group compliance association and work together to reduce nitrogen; this option allows the association members added flexibility in controlling nitrogen discharges. At the same time, the association is subject to a group NPDES permit ensuring that the association and its individual members are accountable if they exceed the applicable nitrogen limits. Under the rule, there are three types of TN limit in the Neuse: • the individual limits in the dischargers' individual permits, • the aggregate limit in an association's group NPDES permit, and • the individual allocations/limits for each Association member, also in that association permit. A discharger may be subject to the first type of limit, or to the second and third, but never to all three at the same time. The discharger is first subject to the TN limit (if any) in its individual NPDES permit. If becomes a co-permittee to a compliance association's group NPDES permit, it is then governed by the TN limits in that permit. If the association complies with its group TN limit in a given year, all members are deemed to be in compliance with their individual allocations/ limits in the group permit. If the association exceeds its limit, the members then become subject to their individual allocations/ limits as well. Regardless of which permit governs a TN discharge, allocations/ limits will likely change over time as the dischargers purchase, sell, trade, lease, or otherwise transfer nitrogen allocations. The Division will modify the affected permits as necessary to ensure that the limits are kept up to date and reflect any such transactions TOXICITY TESTING: Current Requirement: Chronic P/F at 2.0 % (at 2.5 MGD) Testing in March, June, September and December. Clayton has passed all toxicity tests since March 2005. It is recommended that the quarterly chronic ceriodaphnia test be renewed. COMPLIANCE SUMMARY: Clayton has only had minor limit excursions for total residual chlorine (2007) and ammonia (2005) . These violations occurred over two years ago and facility is well operated and compliant with permitted limits. INSTREAM MONITORING: Clayton is part of the Lower Neuse Basin Association (LNBA) and is not required to perform the instream monitoring required in this permit. (The LNBA monitors several sites for various facilities along the Neuse River). REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS/METALS The Town of Clayton operates under an approved pretreatment program and must comply with its Long Term Monitoring Plan (LTMP). As part of the pretreatment program, Clayton monitors for arsenic, cadmium, chromium, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, and cyanide (and these will continue through the pretreatment program) - copper, zinc, silver, and lead are also required. Most values have been below detection level, and well below allowable levels. There is no water quality standard for molybdenum (and Mo will continue to be monitored through the pretreatment program and the residuals permit), so no limit or monitoring requirement will be imposed in the NPDES permit. NCO025453 Clayton NPDES Renewal Page 2 .r Other than conventional parameters, the parameters sampled in the application only had above detection levels for copper and zinc (which are currently monitored through the permit). Copper and zinc will continue to be monitored in the permit due to the reasonable potential to exceed the action level standard at the acute level. The monitoring frequency will be 1/month because both metals are NC action level standards and due to Clayton's excellent toxicity testing results. Silver monitoring will be eliminated from the permit because the reasonable potential analysis showed that silver levels were below the acute value. Silver will continue to be monitored quarterly via the facility's pretreatment program LTMP. The required annual priority pollutant scan was done in June 2005, October 2006, September 2007 and March 2009. There was only a hit of bis 2 ethylhexyl phthalate in June 2005 which is considered a lab contaminant. There have no other detections of any other substances, besides conventional contaminants, copper and zinc. TRANSFER OF NITROGEN ALLOCATIONS The Town of Clayton's Little Creek Water Reclamation Facility is located within the Neuse River basin and was assigned Total Nitrogen (TN) allocation under the Neuse River Basin Nutrient Management Strategy rule for Wastewater Discharges (T15A NCAC 02B .0234), or "the Neuse rule." In recent years, the Town purchased discharge allocation from South Granville WSA (SGWSA) and modified its permit in 2006. This purchased allocation has been placed in reserve for future flows beyond 2.5 MGD. The Town has now purchased additional allocation from an existing discharger. UNIFI- Kinston. The Town purchased 1,645 lb/yr estuary allocation from UNIFI-Kinston (now DuPont -Kinston) in 2007. With a transport factor of 50%, this is equivalent to a discharge (i.e., end -of -pipe) allocation of 3,290 lb/yr. The Town requests that 1432 lb/yr of the discharge allocation be added to the current 21, 400 lb/year allocation in the NPDES permit. This will have the total nitrogen allocation of 22,832 lb/year . The remaining allocation of 1858 lb/year will be placed in reserve in Clayton's permit. With this purchase, the total allocation assigned to the Town of Clayton Little Creek facility is 22,832 lb/yr at the discharge, equivalent to 11,416 lb/yr at the estuary.

Ross, Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Town of Clayton Little Creek WRF NPDES Permit No. NCO025453 Stormwater Permit NCG110080 Johnston County Dear Mr. Biggs: Coleen H. Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality On December 17, 2007 Mitch Hayes of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the subject facility. The assistance of James Warren grade WW-4 Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) with this inspection was gratefully appreciated. Please find the attached Basin Wide Information Management System (BIMS) inspection checklist summarizing each inspection. Below is a list of recommendations and findings developed from the inspection: 1. The subject permit was modified and became effective November 01, 2006 and will expire March 31, 2008. A permit renewal application was received on October 11, 2007 and is currently under review. Please continue to operate under the last issued permit until a new permit is issued. 2. The 2.5 MGD water reclamation facility consists of the following units: influent head works with a FRP cover system and odor control system including mechanical screening and a vortex type grit removal system; influent pump station with ultrasonic flow meter with back-up float alarm; a new 214,500 gallon anaerobic basin in front of oxidation basin # 2; a new 300,000 gallon anoxic tank in front of oxidation basin # 2; a new 200,000 gallon anoxic in front of oxidation basin # 1; three (3) secondary clarifiers; two shallow bed DAVCO traveling bridge type tertiary filters; LTV disinfection with back-up chlorination / dechlorination; effluent pump station; one existing 90,000 gallon aerated digester/sludge stabilization tank; one new aerated 360,000 gallon sludge holding tank; one existing aerated 360,000 gallon sludge holding tank; sludge loading station; a new sludge thickening building containing a rotary drum thickener; sludge drying beds; in -plant non -potable water system using reclaimed treated wastewater; a reclaimed water pump station and transmission force main to the Pine Hollow Golf Course (scheduled completion 02/06/2008) and two on -site generators to provide back-up power. The clerigester, trickling filter, and secondary clarifier of the original plant are not in use and are abandoned. 3. At the time of inspection, the aerated digester was being used to store scum from the clarifiers. The two aerated sludge holding tanks were approximately 50% full. Sludge hauling was to begin early January 2008. Clarifier # 1 was offline due to low influent flow.

Effluent appeared clear flowing evenly over the weirs with no blockage. There was no scum noted in either clarifier. The rotary drum thickener was not being operated at the time of inspection. Effluent flowing off the tertiary filters appeared clear with no foam or odor. Each effluent turbine pump is scheduled to be rebuilt. Excavation around the three effluent turbine pumps has already begun. The effluent discharge pipe was submerged at the time of inspection. Effluent appeared clear discharging into the Neuse River with no negative impacts. 4. Biosolids are land applied under the Town of Clayton Land Application Permit WQ0023178. Granville Farms is designated the back-up hauler to land apply biosolids under the GFI Residuals Land Application Program under permit WQ0000838. 5. In -plant non -potable water using treated wastewater effluent is utilized throughout the plant under permit WQ0024223. The reuse generation distribution line and pump station with force main to the Pine Hollow Golf Course is covered under permit WQ22224. Reuse, reclaim water, and land application permits are currently managed by the Aquifer Protection Section. 6. The laboratory was checked in a cursory manner. All instrument calibration logs are being maintained on computer. An operator's logbook was available and being maintained. Fecal coliform bath temperature was 44.6 degrees C and the drying oven temperature was 106 degrees. The influent and effluent flow meters were calibrated October 07, 2007. Influent sampler temperature was 2 degrees C. and the effluent sampler temperature was 3 degrees C. 7. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's) for the period December 2006 to September 2007 were reviewed for compliance with permit limits and monitoring requirements. The BIMS computer is flagging monitoring violations for chronic toxicity for 12/2006, 03/2007, 06/2007, and 09/2007. These violations appear to be caused by using the code THP3B for reporting pass/fail results for chronic toxicity. Please use the code TGP3B when reporting pass/fail results for chronic toxicity. Monitoring violation for silver was recorded for 01/2007. A pH value of 73 was recorded 05/07/2007 most likely should have been recorded as 7.3. Total residual chlorine is reported as exceeding the permit limit on 09/06/2007, 09/27/2007, and 09/28/2007. This is reported under the column TOTAL RESIDUE parameter code 00500. Currently the Little Creek WRF has no parameter listed however, there is a total suspended residue listed. Please clarify and send in an amended September 2007 DMR. The annual pollutant scan that is attached to the September 2007 DMR list the Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) result as 12 ug/l. The grab sample for the TRC analyses was taken 08/23/2007 lists the results on the August 2007 DMR as 0.12ug/l. Please clarify the August 2007 TRC result and send in an amended DMR. There were no other violations listed for the review period. 8. Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with data submitted on the DMR for the month of September 2007. No discrepancies were noted. Stormwater Permit NCG110062 9. Inspection of the stormwater outfalls and plant site was conducted at the same time as the CEI wastewater treatment plant. Permit NCG110062 was issued and became effective on June 27, 2003 and will expire on April 30, 2008. 10. There are three outfalls listed for the facility: a) Outfall 001 consists of drainage from the return sludge pump station; on -site generator area, chlorine contact chamber and effluent pump station. Flow is conveyed by concrete Little Creek WRF CEI Page 3 pipe and discharges to a small drainage ditch behind the on -site generator and tertiary filter structure. There was no discharge at the time of inspection. Water in the drainage ditch appeared clear. b) Outfall 002 receives drainage from the grassy area in front of oxidation basin number 1, the area in front of the aerobic digester; chemical feed building, the area around the sludge holding tanks and the sludge loading station. These combined flows discharge into a small ditch. There was no discharge at the time of inspection. Water in the ditch appeared muddy most likely from recent rains. c) Outfall 003 receives flow from the on -site generator and fuel tank behind the operations building, and area near the aerobic digester. The combined flows discharge to low lying area across from the right side of the operations building. d) Outfall 004 receives flow from the parking lot and in front of the operations building. The discharge point is across the street into a small ditch. There was no discharge at the time of inspection. There was no water in the ditch. e) Outfall 005 receives stormwater flow from the area around the influent pump station and the reclaimed water pump station. Combined flows discharge to a low-lying area east of the influent pump station. There was no discharge at the time of inspection. Water at the discharge point appeared clear. f) Outfall 006 is located near the tertiary filter structure. The drainage area around the return sludge pump and secondary clarifier number 1 and 2 discharge into outfall 006. At the time of inspection a sediment trap had been constructed from crushed stone in front of the discharge point. Outfall 006 discharges into a wooded area. There was no discharge at the time of inspection. 11. Qualitative monitoring for all outfalls was conducted on June 27, 2007 and December 12, 2007. There is no vehicle maintenance done on site. There have been no spills for the 2006-2007 year. The stormwater pollution prevention control plan was amended in 2007. Annual employee training on spill prevention and response occurred on December 13, 2007. I would like to thank James Warren for his time and assistance with this inspection.

Again, you'll need to customize it to fit your permits. Transfer of Nitrogen Allocations Johnston County's Central W WTF is located within the Neuse River basin and was assigned Total Nitrogen (TN) allocation under the Neuse River Basin Nutrient nr Management Strategy rule for Wastewater Discharges (T15A NCAC 02B .0234), or "the Neuse rule." In recent years, the County connected two small County -owned facilities, and the Division transferred those allocations to the Central facility by modifying its permit in 2007. The County has now purchased two additional allocations from existing dischargers. The allocations are necessary for upcoming expansions of the Central facility. UNIFI- Kinston. The County purchase 11645 lb/yr estuary allocation from UNIFI- Kinston (now DuPont -Kinston) in 2007. With a transport factor of 50%, this is equivalent to a discharge (i.e., end -of -pipe) allocation of 3,2901b/yr. Town of Benson. The County purchase 3601b/yr estuary allocation from the Town of Benson, equivalent to a discharge allocation of 7201 /yr. With these purchases, the total allocation assigned to the Central Johnston County facility is 71,477 lb/yr at the discharge, equivalent to 35,7391b/yr at the estuary.

Each application package contains the following: 1. EPA NPDES Form 2A 2. Topographic Site Map 3. Schematic Flow Diagram 4. Process Flow Diagram 5. Three (3) Priority Pollutant Analyses 6. Four (4) Chronic Toxicity Tests 7. Sludge Management Plan The Little Creek Water Reclamation Facility has undergone one major modification at the facility since issuance of the most recent permit In November 2005 construction began at the plant to provide enhanced biological nutrient removal and improved biosolids handling capabilities. The project includes construction of an anaerobic basin, two (2) pre -anoxic basins, modifications to the two existing aeration basins, sludge thickening equipment and a sludge stabilization/storage basin. Construction of the new improvements should be completed by early November 2007. In 2006 Clayton purchased 3,668 lb/yr of estuary total nitrogen allocation from SGWASA. This allocation was placed in reserve as noted in the Town's individual NPDES permit as well as in the Neuse River Compliance Association (NRCA) and its co-permittee member's NPDES permit Currently, the Town is completing the purchase of 1,645 lb/yr of estuary total nitrogen from Unifi Kinston, LLC. Based upon .� the Town's transport factor of 50%, 1,645 1b/yr of estuary allocation results in 3,290 lb/yr of end of pipe total nitrogen at the LCWRF discharge. Out of this 3,290 lb/yr we request that 1,432 lb/yr of the end of pipe allocation be added to the current 21,400 lb/yr included in the Town's individual NPDES permit As a result the Total Nitrogen Load will become 22,832 lb/yr at the end of pipe (i.e. 2.5 mgd x 3 mg/L TN x 8.34 x 365 days/yr = 22,832 lb/yr rounded). In addition we request that the remaining 1,858 lb/yr be placed in reserve in the Town's individual NPDES and noted in the NRCA NPDES permit similar to the action granted in the SGWASA case. This will place the Town's total nitrogen end of pipe allocation held in reserve at 9,194 lb/yr (i.e. 7,336 lb/yr + 1,858 lb/yr = 9,194 lb/yr end of pipe or 4,597 Ib/yr at estuary).
