PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant, City of Shelby, is requesting renewal of its
permit for the discharge of treated wastewater. An on -site
inspection revealed satisfactory operation and maintenance of the
waste treatment facilities. The City is currently operating under
the constraints of JOC No. 89-01 Ad because of inabilities to
comply with the.final effluent limitations for biochemical oxygen
demand (BOD5), total suspended solids (TSS), and fecal coliform.
A blackish colored effluent was prominent due to the
contribution of wastewater from textile industries.. The receiving
stream is noticeably impacted due to the color. _

Pending the review and approval of the wasteload allocation it
is recommended that the permit be renewed.

(approach taken, correspondence with region, EPA, etc.)
Facility requesting renewal of NPDES permit. Revised stream flow information has been obtainer);;
from Water Resources on the 7Q10 flow estimates in the First Broad River due to proposed watet
plant expansions for Shelby and Cleveland County Sanitary District. Previous WLAs had used a'=o
summer 7Q10 of 70 cfs,Water Resources has determined that the 7Q10 will be reduced to 44.3 cfs
at the WWTP discharge point.. Facility has been notified by letter (11/20/92) of anticipated
revisions in effluent limits.

Facility Name SHELBY-BROAD RIVER WWTP Permit # NC0024538_ Pipe # 001 _
CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay
Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality
is _17_% -(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 the effective date of this permit during the months of _
_FEB MAY AUG NOV_. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be -performed at the NPDES permitted final
effluent discharge -below all treatment processes.
Alltoxicity 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
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
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.

Wasteload Allocation Summary
(approach taken, correspondence with region, EPA, etc.)
Facility requesting renewal of NPDES permit. Tech Support recommends renewal of existing
limits for this permit period. In the future, due to water plant expansions, limits will have to be r
revised. Background: Revised stream flow information has been obtained from Water Resources
on the 7Q10 flow estimates in the First Broad River due to proposed water plant expansions for v
Shelby and Cleveland County Sanitary District. Previous WLAs had used a summer 7Q10 of 70
cfs,Water Resources has determined that the 7Q10 will be reduced to 44.3 cfs at the WWTP
discharge point. Facility has been notified by letter (11/20/92) of anticipated revisions in effluent "�3
limits. '

CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT .(QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay
Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality
is . 12_% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform
quartcrly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be
performed after .thirty days from the effective date of this permit during the months of
_FEB MAY AUG NOV_. 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

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 minimumi 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.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health
and Natural Resources.
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
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled 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
sampled 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 2 of 14
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled 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 sampled 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 Units" 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 Units" 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 Units" 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 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.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable
amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge
averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a
calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the
discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.

Part 11
Page 3 of 14
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a
calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I
of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.
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.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility
which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the
facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when
there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the
time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing
the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be
determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval
between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily
flow at the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional
to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be
no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall
be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a
detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be
collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in
number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in
no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6)
hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
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.

Part II
Page 4 of 14
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 Day
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

treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or
established or operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage
to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial
and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur
in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss
caused by delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations
to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient
operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of
this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;

property damage;

Part II
Page 9 of 14
(b) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal
periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate
backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable
engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal
periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(c) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering
its adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the
three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and
temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of
factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include
noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment
facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or
improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for
noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the
requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during
administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an
action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence
that:
(a) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(b) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and

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.
G. Pollutant Analysis Condition
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 Monitoring (APAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying

memo, 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 Monitoring
Requirement" (APAM).
(2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.
For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement
Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the "10 significant peaks rule").
H. Color Monitoring
Within 120 days of the effective date of this permit, the City of Shelby shall begin monitoring for
color at the Effluent, Upstream 50 feet, and Downstream 50 feet, and shall also monitor for color
with one sample of effluent diluted with upstream water at a concentration replicating 7Q10
conditions. All samples shall be grab samples.
Analysis shall be performed in the field using the glass disks field method (Standard Methods -
204A).
Analyze samples as follows:
(a) Using the platinum -cobalt method, and,
(b) Using a narrow -band scanning spectrophotometer to produce a COMPLETE spectral curve of
the visible spectrum (350 - 750 nm). -Calculate and report results in ADMI color units from the
information indicated.
Samples should be taken free from turbidity (True Color) and at natural pH.
Samples shall be collected on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the Summer months
(April - October), and shall be collected on Wednesdays during the Winter months (November -
March).
The permit holder shall submit annual reports summarizing the available color monitoring
information. Include factors which may have had an impact on the levels of color in the effluent
and receiving stream, including but not limited to, rainfall, streamflow, production plant

THERE SHALL BE NO CHROMIUM, ZINC, OR COPPER ADDED TO THE COOLING WATER.
Sample Locations: E - Effluent, U - Upstream, D - Downstream
** The temperature of the effluent shall be such as not to cause an increase in the temperature of the receiving stream of more than 2.8°C and in
no case cause the ambient water temperature to exceed 29°C.
*** Monitoring requirements only apply if chlorine is added to the cooling water.
The permittee shall obtain authorization from the Division of Environmental Management prior to utilizing any biocide in the cooling water (See
Part III of this Permit).
The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units and shall be monitored monthly at the effluent by grab
sample.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

Part III Permit No. NC0004120
D. Whole Effluent Toxicity Testing Requirement (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit 48 hour acute toxicity as lethality in an effluent
concentration of 1.8% nor measure a quarterly arithmetic average chronic value less than this same
percentage of waste. The chronic value will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no statistically detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the
lowest concentration that does have a statistically detectable impairment of reproduction or
survival. The presence .of 48 hour acute toxicity will be determined using Fisher's Exact Test at 48
hours from test initiation. Collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods
are defined in:
The North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure (July, 1991) or
subsequent versions.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using these procedures 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 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 measures 48 hour acute
toxicity or a chronic value less than that specified above, then multiple concentration testing shall
be performed, at a minimum, in each of the following two months.
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 it was performed, using the
parameter code THP313 for the Chronic Value and TGA313 for the 48 hour Acute Toxicity measure
(Pass/Fail). Additionally, DEM Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
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 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.
E. Pollutant Analysis Condition
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 Monitoring (APAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying
memo, 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 Monitoring
Requirement" (APAM).
(2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.
For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement
Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the "10 significant peaks rule").
F. Whole Effluent Toxicity Testing Requirement (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit 48 hour acute toxicity as lethality in an effluent
concentration of 2.4% nor measure a quarterly arithmetic average chronic value less than this same
percentage of waste. The chronic value will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no statistically detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the
lowest concentration that does have a statistically detectable impairment_of reproduction or
survival. The presence of 48 hour acute toxicity will be determined using Fisher's Exact Test at 48
hours from test initiation. Collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods
are defined in:
The North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure (July, 1991) or
subsequent versions.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using these procedures 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 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 measures 48 hour acute
toxicity or a chronic value less than that specified above, then multiple concentration testing shall
be performed, at a minimum, in each of the following two months.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent

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.
G. Biocide Condition
The permittee shall not use any biocides except those approved in conjunction with the permit
application. The permittee shall notify the Director in writing not later than ninety (90) days prior
to instituting use of any additional biocide used in cooling systems which may be toxic to aquatic
life other than those previously reported to the Division of Environmental Management. Such
notification shall include completion of Biocide Worksheet Form 101 and a map locating the
discharge point and receiving stream.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant, City of Shelby, is requesting renewal of its
permit for the Broad River Wastewater Treatment Plant which allows
the discharge of treated wastewater produced by the City. The City
is currently operating under the constraints of JOC No. 89-01
because of inabilities to comply with the final effluent limitations
for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD-5), total suspended solids (TSS),
and fecal coliform.
The plant appeared to be operated and maintained properly. The
color in the process units and effluent was blackish due to textile
dye waste. The dye waste color was prominent on the discharge side
of the receiving stream.
It is recommended that the permit be renewed to reflect
whatever monitoring is deemed necessary.

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Recommendations for Color Monitoring for City of Shelby -Broad River WWTP
15 NCAC .0211(b)3(F) states for colored wastes - only such amounts as will not
render the waters injurious to public health, secondary. recreation, or to
aquatic life and wildlife or adversely affect the palatability of fish, aes-
thetic quality or impair the waters for any designated uses.
Within 120 days of the effective date of this permit, the permit holder shall
begin monitoring for color at the Effluent, Upstream, and Downstream designated
sites (50.ft upstream and 50 ft downstream), and one sample of effluent
diluted with upstream water at a concentration replicating 7Q10 conditions. All
samples shall be grab samples.
Analysis shall be performed in the field using the "glass disks field method"
(Standard Methods - 204A).
Analyze samples as follows:
(a) using the platinum -cobalt method; and
(b) Using a narrow -band scanning spectrophotometer to produce a COMPLETE spec-
tral curve of the visible spectrum (350-750 nm). Calculate and report results
in ADMI color units from the information indicated.
Samples should be taken free from turbidity (True Color) and at natural pH.
During summer months (April -October) collect samples on Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays and during the winter months (November -March) collect samples on Wednes-
days.
The permit holder shall submit annual reports summarizing the available color
monitoring information. Include factors which may have had an impact on the
levels of color in the effluent and receiving stream, including, but not limited
to, rainfall, streamflow, production plant operations, and treatment plant oper-
ations. Submit the report to the Water Quality Section Chief no later than Feb-
ruary 15th of each year.

CHRONIC TOXICITY TESTING REQUIREMENT (QR"1RLY)
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 *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is f Z To (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure
document).. The permit holder shall perform quarte-rly monitoring using this procedure to establish
compliance *ith the permit condition. The. first test will be performed after thirty days from
issuance of this'permit during the months of /�1Xy"/ 06: 11,bil A-1 . 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 :MonitrningForm (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGMB. 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 doselresponse 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 miiiitlluni
control organism survival and appropriate environmenutl controls, stall 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.

Dear Ms. Sanderson:
Comments concerning proposed discharge permit for the City
of Shelby. N.C. (NC0024538).
1. Sampling at the mouth of the First Broad River:
There is no access to the mouth of the First Broad River except
about a one (1) mile hike over very rough terrain. The most easy
accessible point nearest to the mouth is at the bridge crossing
on rural paved road 1140, this would be the preferred location.
It is located 7.5 miles from the WWTP. The next best sampling
point would be at the bridge where rural paved road no. 1148
crosses the river. (see inclosed map)
Also would prefer weekly or monthly sampling as opposed to
three times weekly.
2. Metal limits and testing:
During the last half of 1990, weekly sampling of the effluent
from the WWTP were performed. (results inclosed). They tend to
show that the metals in the effluent are consistently lower than
the limits you have specified in the draft permit. This WWTP is
not equipped with the means to perform metal analysis. Therefore
the cost of daily metals analysis would be in the neighborhood of
one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) daily or thirty six thousand
dollars ($36.000.00) yearly.

3. Toxicity testing:
The Shelby WWTP has been testing for toxity for the past two
years and has "passed" each time. I would request these test to
be reduced to annual or semi-annual, this request is mainly a
cost reduction.
Thank you for your considerations in this matter.
Sincer ly:
Don Rhom

ATTACHMENT B-2
Consent Judgment
City of Shelby
Toxicity Testing Requirement
The effluent discharge shall at not time exhibit chronic toxicity using
test procedures outlined in:
1. The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent
bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay
Procedures - Revised *February, 1987) or subsequent
versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable
inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is 12% (defined as
treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The City shall
perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish
compliance with the toxicity requirements. Test shall be performed
during the months of February, May, August, and November. 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 Order will be
entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month
in which it was performed, using the appropriate parameter code.
Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following
address:
Technical Services Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
Post Office Box 27687
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687
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 must be measured and reported if employed for disinfection of
the waste stream.
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 Order may be reopened
and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limitations.
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 tests and will
require immediate retesting. Failure to submit suitable test results
will constitute a failure of Order conditions.

✓ Attachment C-1
POLLUTANT ANALYSIS MONITORING CONDITION
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 Monitoring
(APAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying memo, 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 Monitoring Requirement"
(APAM).
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 the purgeable,
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than
10, if less than 10 unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than
those specified on the APA Requirement Reporting Form A should be
identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM Reporting
Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APAM requirement is to be
referred to as the "10 significant peaks rule".

Re: Receipt,of Stipulated Demand Payment
DEHNR and EMC v. City of Shelby
Cleveland County, (JOC # 89-01)
NPDES Permit No. NCO024538
Dear Mr. Wilkinson:
Check Number 029047 in the amount of $12,500.00 made payable to the
Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources has been received by the
Division of Environmental Management. This payment satisfies in full the payment
demand set forth in my letter of October 4, 1990, and subsequent acceptance of
settlement for failure to submit plans and specifications on or before July 1, 1990.
This payment, however, does not preclude enforcement against the City of Shelby for
failure to meet future required dates, conditions, or interim effluent limitations as
specified in the Consent Judgment.
Check Number 029255 in the amount of $400.00 made payable to the
Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources has also been received by the
Division as payment for processing the City's request to amend Judicial Order by Consent
No. 89-01 .
Thank you for your prompt attention to these matters.. Should you have any

will enable amendment of the JOC to provide for wastewater treatment plant improve-
ments under an extended time schedul'e. We are engaging McGill and Associates for
engineering support in this project.
You may be assured of our intention to be in full compliance with the amended
JOC. Your courtesies in this regrettable matter are appreciated.

SUBJECT: City of Shelby, NPDES NCO024538
JOC Stipulated Penalty Negotiations
Cleveland County
On November 26, 1990, Forrest Westal.l and I met with City of Shelby
(City) personnel including Dave Wilkison, City Manager, Bob Gidney,
Utilities Director, Don Rhom, Plant Engineer, and Gary McGill, their
consultant engineer, at the City's request to negotiate stipulated
penalties demanded by the Division under the City's JOC. Stipulated
penalties were demanded as a result of the City's failure to comply
with the July 1, 1990 JOC deadline .requiring submittal of plans and
specifications. DEM's letter dated October 4, 1990 demanded penalties
in the amount of $16,200. '
The City failed to submit plans and specifications due to
misinterpretation of terms in the JOC and actions required.
Additionally, the manner in which the City had assigned
responsibilities for various wastewater program elements among
different people contributed to the violation. Based upon the Region's
long-standing knowledge of City personnel, detailed knowledge of the
City's wastewater treatment program, and statements made during the
meeting of November 26, 1990, DEM regional staff are convinced that
there was no malintent in the City's fai.]_ure to submit plans and
specifications. Failure to submit plans and specs in accordance with

their July 1, 1990 deadline was primarily due to changes occurring at
the treatment facility during the term of the JOC and management's
failure to understand how JOC language applied to changing conditions.
At the outset, Shelby's SOC was based on the premise that 1) relocation
of the outfall line for toxicity purposes and 2) control (requiring
construction) of TSS in incinerator scrubber wastewater were the
primary items needing action. The City prepared plans and
specifications for outfall line relocation, requested A to C, and
constructed outfall relocation in accordance with their February 1,
1990 deadline. The City ceased operation of the inciner t ubb,���l
and therefore rightly believed that plans and specs pwe °�fLoejAd. qd r'/aats/L
compliance with the July 1, 1990 deadline. Regio al correndence
attempting to explain the situation of the July 1, 1990 deadline to the
City is however on file. The City failed to take actions necessary for
compliance with the strictest interpretation of their JOC and therefore
is in fact liable for the penalties assessed by DEM.
Regional staff believe that the City should pay a large portion of the
stipulated demand and that the embarrassment of the assessment has
brought City management's attention into proper focus on the wastewater
treatment program. During our meeting, the City stated that they will
be requesting JOC modification to accommodate existing conditions at
their treatment facility. Regional personnel negotiated a modified JOC
schedule during the November 26, 1990 meeting and are submitting JOC
modifications attached to this memorandum. Also attached is a copy of
the City's request for JOC modification. The modified JOC is the
City 's plan for achieving a document reflective of current treatment
facility conditions as well as the July 1, 1990 requiring submittal of
plans and specs.
To settle the stipulated demand, regional staff recommend that the
Director offer to settle the City of Shelby's $16,200 stipulated demand
for $12,500. The reduced amount is recommended as a result of the
City's contrition, their long history of compliance prior to the JOC,
their promise to do better, and their having hired a consultant, Mr.
Gary McGill, to define and implement a plan to bring the City into
consistent compliance with their final effluent limitations, and the
City's submittal of a formal request for JOC modification.
In considering Shelby's request for penalty reduction, you should be
aware that as of the date of Shelby's request for JOC modification that
their penalty had accrued to a t0tcL1 of $72,600. However, DEM's
handling of the stipulated demand may be considered mitigating factors.
The draft demand letter in the amount of $16,200 was dated August 8,
1990 and sent from the region to the central office for processing; on
October 4, 1990 (approximately 2 months later) the demand letter was
signed and sent from the central office without the $16,200 penalty's
even having been updated. Additionally, a period of approximately five
weeks lapsed between receipt of-Shelby's request on October 18, 1990
and".DEM's conduction of the negotiation on November 26, 1990.

Toxicity Testing Requirement
The effluent discharge shall at not time exhibit chronic toxicity using
test procedures outlined in:
1. The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent
bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay
Procedures - Revised *February, 1987) or subsequent
versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition
of reproduction or significant mortality is 12% (defined as treatment two
in the North Carolina procedure document). The City shall perform
quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with
the toxicity requirements. Test shall be performed during the months of
February, May, August, and November. 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 Order will be
entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in
which it was performed, using the appropriate parameter code.
Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following
address:
Technical Services Branch
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management
Post Office Box 27687
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687
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 must
be measured and reported if employed for disinfection of., the waste
stream.
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 Order may be reopened and
modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limitations.
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 tests and will
require immediate retesting. Failure to submit suitable test results
will constitute a failure of Order conditions.

RE: Consent Judgement Amendment
JOC Number 89-01
With regard to the referenced Judicial Order by Consent, representatives of
the City of Shelby met with Mr. Forrest Westall and Mr. James Reid of the Asheville
Regional Office today in Shelby. This meeting was a result of the stipulated penalties
against the City of Shelby as detailed in your October 4, 1990 letter and our expressed
desire to discuss the mitigating circumstances that enter into the situation.
Our discussions were very helpful to both parties in understanding the series of
events that led to the stipulated penalties. These penalties have resulted from the
failure of the City to submit plans and specifications on July 1, 1990 for unspecified
improvements to the treatment plant. These plans and specifications were not submitted
since there was not any way to know at that time what capital improvements may be nec-
essary to achieve BOD compliance. All other NPDES compliance parameters have been met
in accordance with the JOC schedule.
The treatment processes have changed considerably at our treatment plant since
the original signing of the JOC to the point where the required activities of the JOC
are no longer pertinent. At our meeting today, we jointly formulated a plan of attack
on the remaining problem, i.e. BOD compliance. We therefore respectively request that
the JOC be amended immediately to include the following series of activities and time
schedules:
ACTIVITY
Complete comprehensive evaluation of the
existing treatment facilities to assess
the proper actions to achieve WPDES permit
compliance to include implementation
recommendations.

evaluation study recommendations.
Begin construction of the improvements. August 1, 1992
Complete construction of the improvements. December 1, 1993
Achieve final effluent compliance April 1, 1994
Since the July 1, 1990 schedule date was impractical to meet with plans and
specifications under the circumstances, we ask that this letter serve as our July
1, 1990 submittal to satisfy the plan toward achieving compliance. We corresponded
with the Asheville Regional Office about this matter or, June 23, 1990 and have found
Mr. Westall and Mr. Reid most helpful in working through the complex issues. We now
have jointly agreed that the outline of events and the.proposed schedule presented
herein is more realistic and compatible with our treatment facility and the current
circumstances.
We assure you that the City of Shelby is committed to solving this problem and
appreciate the cooperation and support of your staff. We look forward to your response
as soon as possible.
Should there by any questions or concerns, please advise.

of Civil Procedure.
3. The City of Shelby holds North Carolina NPDES
Permit No. NC0024538 for operation of an existing
wastewater treatment works, the Shelby Wastewater
Treatment Plant, and for making an outlet therefrom for
treated wastewater to Hickory Creek, Class C waters of
the State, in the Broad River Basin, but is unable to comply
with the final effluent limitations for biochemical oxygen
demand (BOD-5), total suspended solids (TSS), fecal
coliform, and toxicity as set forth in the -Permit.
Compliance will require preparation of plans and
specifications for, and construction and operation of,
additional treatment works. The noncompliance with final
effluent limitations constitutes*causingand contributing to
pollution of the waters of the State, and the City -is within
the jurisdiction of the Commission as set forth in NCGS
Chapter 143, Article 21.

the Shelby Wastewater Treatment Plant of the City of Shelby
as a facility which was not in compliance due to
extraordinary circumstances. The City has appropriated
funds and contracted with a consulting engineer who will
investigate in detail the present procedures at the
treatment facility and the waste streams being received, and
will make recommendations for changes and procedures
necessary to bring the City into compliance with final
effluent limitations.
STIPULATED TERMS
6. The defendant, City of Shelby, waives service of

Toxicity Testing Requirement
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic
toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
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 12% (defined as treatment two in the North
Carolina procedure document). The City shall.perform
quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish
compliance with the toxicity requirements. Tests shall be
performed during the months of February, May, August, and
November. 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 Order
will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form
(MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the
appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Technical Services Branch
North Caroling. Division of Environmental Management
Post Office Box 27687
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687
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 must be
measured and reported if employed for disinfection of the
waste stream.
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 Order may be reopened and modified to
include alternate monitoring requirements.
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. Failure to submit suitable test results will
constitute a violation of Order conditions.

(i:) Should it become necessary to by-pass treatment
components, the City of Shelby must obtain approval
from the Director. Scheduled by-passes will only begin
after prior approval has been received from the
Director. Unforeseen by-passes must be reported to the
Director as quickly as possible but in no case later
than 24 hours after the event begins and must be
followed up within five (5) working -days with a written
request for approval. By-passes conducted in
accordance with the Director's approval will not
constitute a violation of this consent judgment.
10. Additional sources of waste flows are prohibited
by NCGS 143-215.67(a). However, notwithstanding the entry
of this Consent Judgment, the plaintiff Commission, or its
delegate, may allow the City of Shelby to accept
additional waste flows to its Shelby Wastewater Treatment
Plant, pursuant to the provisions of NCGS 143-215.67(b),
where appropriate.

demand by the plaintiff.
12. Stipulated penalties are not due if the defendant,
City of Shelby satisfies the plaintiff Department, or this
Court, that non-compliance was, caused by events or
circumstances beyond the defendant's control. Such events
or circumstances do not include failure to obtain state or
federal grant funding, failure to schedule or pass necessary
bond referenda, or other failures to obtain necessary
financing, but may include delays caused by contractors
provided that such delays could not be reasonably
anticipated by the Defendant and that Defendant has made its
best efforts to avoid and minimize such delays. Any dispute
which arises concerning whether stipulated penalties are due
will in the first instance be subject to informal
negotiations between the parties, initiated by written
request. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute within
30 days from the date of the request, the dispute may be
referred by any party to the Court for judicial resolution.
If exigencies require, a party may refer the matter to the
Court prior to the expiration of the 30-day period; and the
30-day period may be extended or shortened by mutual
agreement of the parties or by Court order. The filing of a
petition seeking dispute resolution as to the payment of
stipulated penalties will not extend or postpone the

defendant-City's obligations, and upon dispute resolution
the defendant -City shall have the burden of proof.
13. The terms of this Consent Judgment may be enforced
by and through the contempt powers of the Court.
14. This Consent Judgment shall terminate on July 1,
1992; except that determinations of final compliance made by

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 PCBs; (e)
herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics.
The Annual Pollutant Analysis (APA) Monitoring
Requirement Reporting Form A, to be provided to
all dischargers 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 CC/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".

COMPLAINT
V. ) (JOC # 89-01)
CITY OF SHELBY, )
)
Defendant. )
Plaintiff, complaining of the Defendant, alleges and
says:
PARTIES
1. The plaintiff is the sovereign State of North
Carolina. The Department of Natural Resources and
Community Development (NRCD) is an agency of the State
established pursuant to NCGS 143B-275, et seq; and
William W. Cobey, Jr., is its Secretary. The Environmental
Management Commission (EMC) is an agency of the State
established pursuant to NCGS 143B-282, et seq.
2. Plaintiff is authorized to bring this action for
injunctive relief for violations or threatened violations
of the State's water quality statutes, by reason of NCGS
143-215.6(c)_. Plaintiff administers the water quality
control program of the State of North Carolina, and is the

delegatee 'of the federally -mandated National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program established by
the §402 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. §1342.
3. The defendant, City of Shelby, in the County
of Cleveland, North Carolina, is an incorporated
municipality established and created under North Carolina
law. The current mayor of Shelby is George Clay, upon
whom service of process may' be made pursuant to Rule
4(j)(5)a of the Rules of Civil Procedure.
JURISDICTION
4. NCGS 143-215.6(c) authorizes the Superior Court
to hear the complaint and motion for injunctive relief of
the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources and
Community Development, seeking to obtain compliance by the
City of Shelby with the water quality statutes of this
State and the permits issued thereunder.
5. NCGS 143-215.6(c) likewise makes the Superior
Court of Cleveland County the appropriate venue for this
cause.
INTRODUCTION
6. NCGS 143-211 expresses the "intent of the General
Assembly that the powers and .duties of the Environmental
Management Commission and the Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development be construed so as to
enable the Department and the Commission to qualify to
administer federally mandated programs of environmental
management...." To this end, the Department has obtained

appropriate delegations from the United States Environmental
Protection Agency to administer and enforce the NPDES
program.
7. The federal Clean Water Act, as amended, 33
U.S.C. §1251 et seq., (hereinafter CWA) requires all
entities who discharge into the navigable waters of the
United States to obtain a National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) in accordance with standards set by
the Administrator of the Agency. 33 U.S.C. 91342(a). The
Administrator can, however, "authorize" a state to issue
NPDES permits in his stead if the state permitting program
is at least equal to that under the CWA. 33 U.S.C.
§1342(b). Thus, a discharge permit issued by an
"authorized" state satisfies both the federal NPDES permit
requirement and the state law permit requirement of the
issuing state. The discharge permit requirement for the
State of North Carolina is NCGS 143-215.1.
8. To maintain its status as an "authorized" state,
North Carolina must demonstrate its ability to ensure,
inter alia, that NPDES permits in North Carolina- meet
certain requirements set forth in the Clean Water Act or
otherwise established by.the Administrator of EPA under the
Act. 33 U.S.C. §1342(b)(1). One of these requirements is
that all publicly -owned treatment works (POTWs) or municipal
sewage treatment plants were to be in compliance- with
discharge standards set forth in the CWA for such facilities
no later than July 1, 1988. 33 U.S.C. §1311(b) and 1311(i).

9. On January 30, 1984, EPA announced a National
Municipal Policy to ensure that all POT Ws meet the July 1,
1988 deadline for compliance with EPA standards. 49 F.R.
3832, January 30, 1984. Under the plan, each POTW not in
compliance with EPA standards was required to develop a plan
of correction to meet the standards on or before July 1,
1988. These plans were to be submitted to the .NPDES
permitting authority, such as North Carolina, which, in
turn, would work out a compliance schedule with the particu-
lar municipality.
10. In response to the National Municipal Policy and
in recognition of the July 1, 1988, deadline for
compliance, the Department and Commission, inter alia,
identified those POTWs within the State of North Carolina
where there were extraordinary circumstances that made it
impossible for the affected municipality to meet the July
1, 1988 compliance date. The Department and Commission ad-
dressed, and continues to address: 1) completed facilities
that are not in compliance; 2) municipalities that are in
the construction grants process to receive funding from
federal and. state sources; and 3) municipalities that need
construction to meet statutory requirements but may not
receive federal or state.grant assistance.

11. Appropriate administrative orders or penalties are
pursued where necessary and authorized. However, the
National Municipal Policy, and the North Carolina strategy
for its implementation, requires that, where extraordinary
circumstances precluded compliance by POTWs by July 1, 1988,
such POTWs be placed on judicially enforceable schedules for
achieving compliance as soon as possible thereafter.
FACTS APPLICABLE TO THIS ACTION
12. The City of Shelby holds North Carolina NPDES
Permit No. NC0024538 for operation of an existing
wastewater treatment works, the Shelby Wastewater
Treatment Plant, and for making an outlet therefrom for
treated wastewater to Hickory Creek, Class C waters of
this State, in the Broad River Basin, but is unable to
comply with the final effluent limitations for biochemical
oxygen demand (BOD-5), total suspended solids (TSS), fecal
coliform, and toxicity as set forth in the Permit.
Compliance will require preparation of plans and
specifications for, and construction and operation of,
additional treatment works. The noncompliance with final
effluent limitations constitutes causing and contributing to
pollution of the waters of the State, and the City is within
the jurisdiction of the Commission as set forth in NCGS
Chapter 143, Article 21.

M
13. The City of.Shelby, due to its noncompliance, must
provide financing for, plan and construct treatment works
which will treat the wastewater presently being discharged
and any additional wastewater desired to be discharged, to
the extent that the City will be able to comply with final
permit effluent limitations.
REMEDY
14. The Shelby _Wastewater Treatment Plant of the
City of. Shelby is currently being operated in
non-compliance with the State's water quality statutes and
was unable to correct its non-compliance by July 1, 1988.
The operation of the plant is a violation or threatened
violation of the water quality statutes, giving rise to
injunctive relief under NCGS 143-215.6(c). Continued
operation of the plant 'is not in the public interest,
unless coupled with a definite, enforceable schedule of
events leading to compliance as soon as possible.
15. The injury suffered by the State and its citizens
is continuing, immediate, pressing and irreparable, and is
clearly established by this verified Complaint.

J. Chronic Toxicity Testing Requirement
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity
using test procedures outlined in:
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 12% (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 February, May, August, and November.
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:
Technical
North Carolina Division
PO
Raleigh, North
Services Branch
of Environmental Management
Box 27687
Carolina 27611-7687
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 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 limitations.
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
non-compliance with monitoring requirements.

the State, in the Broad River Basin, but is unable to comply
with the final effluent limitations for biochemical oxygen
demand (BOD-5), total suspended solids (TSS), fecal
coliform, and toxicity as set forth in the -Permit.
Compliance will require preparation of plans and
specifications for, and construction and operation of,
additional treatment works. The noncompliance -with final
effluent limitations constitutes causing and contributing to
pollution of the waters of the State, and the City -is within
the jurisdiction of the Commission as set forth in NCGS
Chapter 143, Article 21.
4. The City of Shelby,. due to its noncompliance,
must provide financing for, plan and construct treatment
works which will treat the wastewater presently being

Toxicity Testing Requirement
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic
toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1. - The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent
bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chroni-c
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 12% (defined as treatment two in the North
Carolina procedure document). The City shall perform
quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish
compliance with the toxicity requirements. Tests shall be
performed during the months of February, May, August, and
November. 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 Order
will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form
(MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the
appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Technical Services Branch
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management
Post Office Box 27687
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687
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 must be
measured and reported if employed for disinfection of the
waste stream.
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 Order may be reopened and modified to
include alternatemonitoring requirements.
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

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/DavMeasurements
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" iii 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 ident:if.i�ci as "Weekly Average" iqj T, ,art: T of the permit.
C. The "maximum daily discharge" is tha total mass (wei_ght:) of a
pollutant discharged during a calendar clay. If on.l.y one sample is
taken during any calendar day the weight of poll.utOm t 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 da.ily 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
"AnTlual. Average" i_Ti. Part I of the permit.

Part IT
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 mead 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 " Oi:h.er Limits" ill Hart 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 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 "Ann.ual Average" under "Other. Limits" in Part I of the
permit.

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.
I:y�es of 5am;,les
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.
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.

ATTACHMENT C
City of Shelby
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 PCBs; (e)
herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics.
The Annual Pollutant Analysis (APA) Monitoring
Requirement Reporting Form A, to be provided to
all dischargers 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".

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).
i. 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.

RE: Effluent Toxicity Testing
Shelby WWTP
NPDES No. NCO024538
Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Gidney:
Previously the above referenced facility has been required to perform
effluent toxicity testing by Administrative Letter from this office. This
testing was outlined as a specific procedure and the effluent concentration
at which the facility's discharge was to meet effluent toxicity target lev-
els was established. In the procedure protocols, it was specified that all
effluent sampling was to be performed below all waste treatment steps,
except chlorination.
As part of North Carolina's efforts to reduce toxic discharges to the
waters of the State, and in conjunction with the National and State policy
of controlling toxic discharges, including chlorine; we are therefore re-
defining the effluent collection point for toxicity testing requirements.
Beginning February 1, 1987 all toxicity sampling and limitations will be
performed and applied at the final discharge point (below chlorination). No
removal of chlorine from the test concentrations, through any means, will be
allowed.
Please be advised that the alteration in sampling point does not change
the effluent concentration at which your facility must pass its toxicity
evaluation. Any toxicity reduction already achieved will still be expressed
at the new sample point. Toxicity may increase, however, in comparison with
previous data due to the presence of chlorine. If you have achieved signif-
icant reduction in toxicity above chlorination and find increases below,
Pollution Prevention PaYs

N N
then chlorine reduction must be evaluated to achieve specified target lev-
els. This may be accomplished through a variety of methods. Initially, we
suggest you review chlorine residuals, feed rates and coliform levels to
determine if excessive chlorine is being used. Final measures to achieve
acceptable toxicity reduction are the responsibility of the permittee.
We realize that this movement of sample point is a significant depar-
ture from past procedures. This change allows North Carolina to be consis-
tent with National Policy and provide ultimate protection of our water
resources. If there are further questions regarding these matters, please
feel free to contact myself or Mr. Steve Tedder at [phone].

a. Act or "the Act": The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also know
as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C. 1251, et. seq.
b. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the samples collected in one calendar month. The
monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of
samples collected in one calendar month.
c. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the samples collected during one calendar week
(Sun -Sat). The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria is the
geometric mean of all samples collected in one calendar week (Sun -Sat).

f. Flow, M3/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the
24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the
arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar
month.
g. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the
summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual
values.
h., 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).
i. 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.
j. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a
period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken
manually.
4. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC
regulations published pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-215.63 et seq, the Water
and Air Quality Reporting Act, and to regulations published pursuant to
Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act,
As Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136.
5. Recording Results
For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of
this permit, the permittee shall record the following information:
a. The exact place, date, and time of sampling;
b. The dates the analyses were performed; and
c. The person(s) who performed the analyses.

6. Additional Monitoring by Permittee
If the permittee monitors any pollutant at the location(s) designated
herein more frequently than required by this permit, using approved
analytical methods as specified above, the.results of such monitoring
shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the values is
required in the DMR. Such increased frequency shall also be indicated.
The DEM may require more frequent monitoring or the monitoring of other
pollutants not required in this permit by written notification.
7. Records Retention
All records and information resulting from the monitoring activities
required by this Permit including all records of analyses performed and
calibration and maintenance of instrumentation and recordings from
continuous monitoring instrumentation shall be retained for a minimum of
three (3) years. This period of retention shall be extended during the
course of any unresolved litigation or if requested by the Division of
Environmental Management or the Regional Administrator of the

PART II GENERAL CONDITIONS
A. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS
1. Change in Discharge
.All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and
conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified in
this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that
authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit. Any anticipated
facility expansions, production increases, or process modifications
which will result in new, different, or increased discharges of
pollutants must be reported by submission of a new NPDES application or,
if such changes will not violate the effluent limitations specified in
this permit, by notice to the DEM of such changes. Following such
notice, the permit may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants
not previously limited.
2. Noncompliance Notification
The permittee shall report by telephone to either the central office or
appropriate regional office of the division as soon as possible but in
no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following the
occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following:
a. Any occurrence at the water pollution control facility which
results in the discharge of significant amounts of wastes which are
abnormal in quantity or characteristic, such as the dumping of the
contents of a sludge digester, the known passage of a slug of
hazardous substance through the facility or any other unusual
circumstances.
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that
render the facility incapable of adequate wastewater treatment, such
as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, aerators,
compressors, etc.
c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment
facility resulting in a by-pass directly to receiving waters without
treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such station or
facility.
d. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the
facility has gone out of compliance with its NPDES permit
limitations.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a
written report in letter form within 15 days following first knowledge
of the occurrence.
3. Facilities Operation
The permittee shall at all times maintain in good working order and
operate as efficiently as possible all treatment or control facilities
or systems installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with
the terms and conditions of this permit.
M 8

4. Adverse Impact
The permittee shall: take all reasonable steps to minimize any adverse
impact to navigable waters resulting from noncompliance with any
effluent limitations specified in this permit, including such
accelerated or additional monitoring as necessary to determine the
nature and impact of the noncomplying discharge.
5. Bypassing
Any diversion from or bypass of facilities is prohibited, except (i)
where unavoidable. to prevent loss of life or severe property damage, or
(ii) where excessive storm drainage or runoff would damage any
facilities necessary for compliance with the effluent limitations and
prohibitions of this permit. All permittees who have such sewer bypasses
or overflows of this discharge shall submit, not later than six months
from the date of issuance of this permit, detailed data or engineering
estimates which identify:
a. The location of each sewer system bypass or overflow;
b. The frequency, duration and quantity of flow from
each sewer.system bypass or overflow. .
This requirement is waived where infiltration/inflow analyses are
scheduled to be performed as part of an Environmental Protection Agency
facilities planning project.
The permittee shall report by telephone to either the central office or
appropriate regional office of the division as soon as possible butin
no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following the

Dear Mr. Carlson:
R. Paul Wilms
October 8, 1985 Director
SUBJECT; Effluent Toxicity Testing
NPDES No. NCO024538
Cleveland County
An extremely important issue that must be addressed by dischargers and
regulatory agencies is that of toxics and the potential impacts of toxic
discharges to the surface waters of North Carolina. Title 15 of the North
Carolina Administrative Code, Section .0200 specifically addresses those
standards and regulations which pertain to this issue..
Toxicity testing and evaluations were conducted by the Division of
Environmental Management employing effluents obtained at the subject
facility on April 3 and Sept. 18, 1985. The results of these evaluations
(LC50 values of none and 77% respectively) indicates the subject effluent
causes toxic responses in the test species employed (Daphnia pulex).
As these tests have determined that the effluent of this facility
exhibits acute toxicity, it is essential that a plan of action be prepared
and appropriate actions pursued to eliminate or reduce those effluent
constituents that may be associated with the observed toxic responses. It
is recommended that you contact Mr. Forrest Westall of the Asheville
Regional Office at [phone] for additional guidance in your toxicity
reduction program.
Based on the toxicity results obtained to date, the Division of
Environmental Management therefore requires that monthly static acute
bioassay analysis be conducted on representative 24-hour composite effluent
samples, and_that the results be reported to this office (attention: Mr.
Steve W. Tedder) within 15 days following each test. The initial test
should be conducted within 30 days following receipt of this correspondence.
JPollution Prevention Pays

The species to be employed for testing should be Daphnia pulex or
Pimephelas Eromelas. whichever is most sensitive, of appropriate age.
Additional and/or alternative species may be employed if deemed appropriate
by the Division. The test method shall be 48 hour static bioassays as
described in Peltier, W.H., and C.I Weber. 1985. Methods for Measuring the
Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and Marine Organisms. Third
Edition. EPA/600/4-85/013. Environmental Monitoring and Support Laboratory,
U.S. Emvironmental Protection Agency, Cincinnati, Ohio.
The samples of wastewater to be tested are to be collected on a
representative workday, preferably Wednesday or Thursday. Based on the
discharge volume of this permitted facility (6.0 MGD), and the 7Q10 flow of
the receiving stream (3.4 cfs) , there may be no acute mortality (>10%) in a
minimum of 90% effluent, nor may there be a chronic (sublethal) effect at
73% effluent. Upon meeting the acute target level, verification of
acceptable chronic toxicity levels will be required using inexpensive
bioassay techniques. These techniques will be summarized and sent to you
within 60 days.
The required acute bioassay testing is to continue until it can be
demonstrated that the target levels are consistantly achieved (four
consecutive months). At such time this requirement may be modified or
eliminated by the Division.
Should there be any questions, please contact Mr. Steve Tedder, Head,
Technical Services Branch or Mr. Ken Eagleson at [phone].
