Subject: Permit Modification of NC0020591
Third Creek WWTP
Iredell County
Facility Class IV
Dear Mr. Hudson:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for modification of the subject
permit. Accordingly,we are forwarding the attached modified NPDES discharge permit.
The changes made in the permit modification are as follows:.
• Added a 6 MGD, Phase I Interim Limits-Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements sheet.
The 8 MGD,Interim Limitations sheet was removed. The summer and winter ammonia-nitrogen.
limits were changed to reflect allowable concentrations at 6 MGD. The annual total pounds of
Total Nitrogen annd Total Phosphorus were recalculated using a 6 MGD flow limit.
• Added a 6 MGD, Phase II Final Nutrient Limitations-Effluent Limitations and Monitoring
Requirements sheet.
• The Compliance Schedule for Phase I and Phase H in Section A. (7.)was adjusted to account for
the 6 MGD Interim and Final Effluent Flow sheets and to add 4 months to the existing compliance
schedule.
• Section A. (9.)on the Chronic Toxicity Permit Limit was modified to account for the effluent
concentrations that toxicity testing should occur at when subject to 4 MGD, 6 MGD and 8 MGD
Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements flow sheets.
• Removed the sludge thickener from the facility description as requested. According to an email
received from Mr. Westall,the thickener was removed from the treatment system over 10 years ago

Please note that the receiving stream,Third Creek, is listed as an impaired waterbody on the North
Carolina 303(d)Impaired Waters List. Addressing impaired waters is a high priority with the Division,
and instream data will continue to be evaluated. If there is noncompliance with permitted effluent limits
and stream impairment can be attributed to your facility, then mitigative measures may be required.
If any parts,measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you,you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty(30)
days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes,and filed with the office of Administrative

made,this permit shall be final and binding.
Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. The Division may require modification
revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other
permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of
Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other Federal or Local governmental permits may
be required.

(mg/L) of the daily composite samples collected during the month
TMF = the Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the month
(MG/mo) •
8.34 = conversion factor, from(mg/L x MG) to pounds •
Page 18

Permit No.NC0020591
ii. Annual TN (or TP) Load (pounds/year) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN (or TP) Loads for
the calendar year,January 1—December 31.
(b) Upon completion of the 6 MGD expansion, the Permittee shall report Total Nitrogen and Total
Phosphorus concentrations for each sample and the monthly mass loadings in the appropriate
discharge monitoring report for each month. The Effluent Nutrients Worksheet (DWQ Form
NW1(11/06)) shall be completed and submitted with the monthly discharge monitoring reports,
during each calendar year, identifying compliance or non-compliance with NPDES permit nutrient
loading limitations. •
A. (7) COMPLIANCE SCHEDULE FOR PHASE I INTERIM AND PHASE II—
FINAL NUTRIENT PERMIT LIMITATIONS AT 6 AND 8 MGD
The permittee shall comply with the Phase I Interim effluent limitations listed in Part I,Section
A.(2.)by October 1,2016.This timeframe provides for the conversion of the biological process to
an oxidation ditch process with biological nutrient removal. Phase I will result in expanding the
facility's capacity from 4 MGD to 6 MGD with interim limitations.
The permittee will comply with the Phase II (6 MGD) Final Nutrient effluent limitations listed in
Part I,Section A.(3) by October 1,2019. This timeframe provides for the addition of post anoxic
basins,reaeration basins and tertiary filters for improved nutrient removal.
Any nutrient control strategy or TMDL developed for High Rock Lake will override the 6 MGD
and 8 MGD final nutrient effluent discharge limitations (Sections A.(3.) and A. (4.)),and the time
schedule will be adjusted to reflect the results and allocations determined by such a strategy or
TMDL. The permit may be reopened and modified accordingly.
A:(8.) PERMIT RE-OPENER: NUTRIENT LIMITS SPECIAL CONDITION
Final limits for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus have been included in the Phase II-Final
Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Sections A.(3.) and A. (4.). Any nutrient control strategy or
TMDL developed for High Rock Lake will override the Final Limits (Section A.(3.)and A. (4.))

RE: Third Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit Modification Request
NC0020591
Dear Ms. Grzyb:
Pursuant to discussions between you and representatives for the City of Statesville, this
letter is being submitted to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) to request a minor
modification of the Third Creek WWTP NPDES permit. Based on the guidance you provided
our consultant, McGill Associates, this letter request is required for DWQ to proceed with a
permit modification to include a 6.0 MGD flow sheet.
We understand from you and others at DWQ that including a 6.0 MGD expansion
provision in the permit is considered a minor modification under North Carolina permitting rules.
The City is planning for a phased approach to reach the 8.0 MGD capacity provided under the
existing permit. The ultimate capacity of 8.0 MGD still needs to be retained in the permit as this
level of service is a central component of the City's infrastructure needs for wastewater
treatment.
To accomplish this, the City has received a Notice of Intent to Fund a 6.0 MGD
expansion and upgrade to the Third Creek WWTP through DWQ's Infrastructure Finance
Section. The Engineering Report for this project is currently under review by the Infrastructure
Finance Section. The 6.0 MGD expansion and upgrade project will be similar to the 8.0 MGD
facility, only with two less influent pumps, one less BNR treatment train, on less secondary
clarifier, and one less RAS/WAS pump.

Please consider this letter our request for you to proceed with drafting a permit revision
that can be discussed and reviewed with the City before DWQ acts to modify the permit. The
City of Statesville and McGill Associates appreciate your preliminary discussions with us on
how to best incorporate this initial step. Because of the work that was done to develop the
existing permit, it is essential to work together to secure a modified permit that is consistent with
the existing permit and that allows the City to move forward with an expansion to 6.0 MGD.
We appreciate DWQ's assistance to help the City provide for the growing needs of our
system and to provide effective wastewater treatment at our Third Creek plant. We look forward
to receiving a draft revised permit in the near future.
If you have any questions concerning this request, please contact me at 704-878-3551 or

Dear Mr. Hudson:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly,we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between
North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 17, 2007 (or as subsequently
amended.)
No significant changes were made to the final permit.
All the changes made in the draft permit are retained in this permit as follows:
4 MGD Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements
• Existing limits have been maintained except for the following changes since no reasonable potential
to violate Water Quality Standards(WQS)was shown for these parameters; Cadmium limits and
monitoring removed, Cyanide monitoring removed, Chlorides monitoring removed and Selenium
monitoring removed.
• Reasonable Potential to violate WQS was shown for Copper, Silver,Zinc, Mercury and Bis (2-
ethylhexyl)phthalate. Monitoring for Copper, Silver and Zinc will remain in the permit and continue
to be reviewed in conjunction with chronic toxicity tests since they are action level standards. Bis(2-
ethylhexyl)phthalate has a Human Health standard of 2.2 ug/L and two high concentrations out of six
Priority Pollutant Scans submitted by Third Creek resulted in a reasonable potential for the facility to
exceed this standard(1/14/09 at 65.7ug/L and 10/27/08 at 18.6 ug/L). Since this was a limited data
set and this pollutant can often be found as part of a lab error, quarterly monitoring(no limit)was

A. (6.) COMPLIANCE SCHEDULE FOR PHASE I INTERIM AND PHASE II—
FINAL NUTRIENT PERMIT LIMITATIONS
The permittee shall have five years from the permit effective date(by June 1,2016) to comply with
the Phase I Interim effluent limitations listed in Part I,Section A.(2.). This timeframe provides for
the conversion of the biological process to an oxidation ditch process with biological nutrient
removal. Phase I will result in expanding the facility's capacity from 4 MGD to 8 MGD.
The permittee will have an additional three years (by June 1,2019) to comply with the Phase II
Final nutrient effluent limitations listed in Part I,Section A.(3). This timeframe provides for the
addition of post anoxic basins,reaeration basins and tertiary filters for improved nutrient removal.
Any nutrient control strategy or TMDL developed for High Rock Lake will override the Phase II
Final Limits (Section A.(3.))and the final nutrient effluent discharge limitations and the time
schedule will be adjusted to reflect the results and allocations determined by such a strategy or
TMDL. The permit may be reopened and modified accordingly.
A.(7.) PERMIT RE-OPENER:NUTRIENT LIMITS SPECIAL CONDITION
Final limits for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus have been included in the Phase II- Final
Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Section A.(3.). Any nutrient control strategy or TMDL
developed for High Rock Lake will override the Phase II Final Limits (Section A.(3.)) and the Division
reserves the right to reopen this permit to include the final nutrient effluent discharge limitations and
time schedule determined by such a strategy or TMDL.

Permit NC0020591
A. (8.) • CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 39%at 4.0 MGD and 48%at 8 MGD.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum,quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the"North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure,"Revised February 1998,or subsequent versions or"North
Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-February 1998)or subsequent versions. The
tests will be performed during the months of Januag,April,July& October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at
the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the
permit limit,then multiple-concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum,in each of the two
following months as described in"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised-February 1998)or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have
a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of"detectable impairment,"collection methods,
exposure regimes,and further statistical methods are specified in the"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent
Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-February 1998)or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring
Form(MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed.If reporting pass/fail results using the parameter code
TGP3B,DWQ Form AT-1(original)is sent to the below address. If reporting Chronic Value results using the
parameter code THP3B,DWQ Form AT-3(original)is to be sent to the following address:

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples
shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative
of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or"the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act(CWA),as amended,33 USC 1251,et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all"daily discharges"of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform,the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system,
which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
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.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period.
The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary,the time
interval between grab samples,etc.) on a case-by-case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous:a single,continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: 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
(3) Variable time/constant volume: 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 preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system,or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period
at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may

1. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: The renewed permit
should contain effluent limitations for both the current hydraulic capacity (4.0 MGD) and
the proposed expansion (8.0 MGD). See Part IV below.
2. Important SOC or Compliance Schedule dates: This facility is neither under an SOC nor
is one being considered at this time.
PART IV- EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Statesville(City)has requested renewal and modification of the subject
permit. The modification request concerns a proposed expansion to 8.0 MGD as a result of
anticipated development within the WWTP's service area. The expansion will involve a
conversion to an SBR treatment process and there will be major change to the existing WWTP as
many existing components will either be modified or abandoned as noted in Part II,No. 2(e)
above.

Page Three
The City's justification for this WWTP expansion is the anticipated growth in the
WWTP's service area. This expected growth includes a proposed 900-acre development
consisting of residential and commercial wastewater sources. Current economic conditions,
however, have substantially slowed both residential and commercial growth, so it is unlikely that
the need for additional capacity will arise during the next permit term. Furthermore, this facility
is only averaging about half of it's current hydraulic capacity, so there could be considerable
growth within the plant's service area before additional WWT capacity will be necessary. Even
though it is unlikely that additional capacity will be necessary during the term of the renewed
permit,the renewed/modified permit should include effluent limitations for both 4.0 and 8.0
MGD as requested by the City.

Subject: Draft NPDES Permit
Permit NC0020591
Third Creek WWTP
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Hudson:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft very
carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from your current permit:
• The daily maximum total residual chlorine (TRC) limit has been added to the permit. See the
attached total residual chlorine policy memo for details. The facility is allowed 18 month
from the effective date of the permit to comply with the total residual chlorine limit. This
time period is allowed in order for the facility to budget and design/construct the
dechlorination and /or alternative disinfection systems.
• A weekly average limit for ammonia nitrogen has been added to the permit. The Division of Water
Quality was required to implement weekly average NH3-N (ammonia) limits for municipal facilities,
as required by the Code of Federal Regulations. This implementation policy was adopted October
15, 2002. The weekly average value is three times the monthly average value (this multiplier was
established based on a review of treatment capability at various plants). Weekly average values are
capped at 35 mg/l. This permit includes both monthly average and weekly average limits for NH3-
N.
• An annual pollutant scan has been added to your permit. By performing this scan concurrent with
your toxicity test (at different times of the year), you will be able to collect sufficient data for the
new renewal application required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
• A limit for cyanide has been eliminated from the permit and monitoring has been changed
from weekly to 2/Month.
• The monitoring frequency for silver has been changed from monthly to quarterly.
• The monitoring frequency for arsenic and chromium has been changed from 2/month to
quarterly.

• The monitoring for MBAS has been eliminated.
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty days following your receipt of the draft.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of the previous page. If no adverse
comments are received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in late July
February,with an effective date of September 1, 2004.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at the telephone
number or e-mail address listed at the bottom of the previous page.

Permit NC0020591
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 39%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum,quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the"North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure,"Revised February 1998,or subsequent versions or
"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-February 1998) or
subsequent versions.The tests will be performed during the months of January,April,July and October.
Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all
treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit
limit,then multiple-concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum,in each of the two following months as
described in"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-February 1998)
or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does
have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of"detectable impairment,"collection
methods,exposure regimes,and further statistical methods are specified in the"North Carolina Phase II Chronic
Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form(MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed,using the parameter code TGP3B for the
pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally,DWQ Form AT-3 (original)is to be sent to the
following address:
Attention: NC DENR/ DWQ / Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30
days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete,accurate,include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data,and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature.
Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,the
permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the
facility name,permit number,pipe number,county,and the month/year of the report with the notation of"No
Flow"in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at
the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,monitoring will be
required during the following month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality 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,
minimum control organism reproduction,and appropriate environmental controls,shall constitute an invalid test and will
require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial
monitoring.

NPDES Unit Supervisor
SUBJECT: Total Residual Chlorine Policy for NPDES permits
Every three years the State is required by the Clean Water Act to review its surface water quality standards and
classifications,determine if changes are needed and to make any necessary changes. This review process is referred to
as the "triennial review." Public hearings were held to solicit comments for the 2000-2003 Triennial Review of surface
water quality standards during the summer of 2002. The Hearing Officer's recommendations were presented before
the state's Environmental Management Commission on October 10,2002.
The Hearing Officer's recommended changes included modifications to the existing standards for Arsenic,Cyanide,
Methylene Blue Active Substances (MBAS) and Total Residual Chlorine(TRC). The Hearing Officer also
recommended the addition of a standard for Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE).
All of the Hearing Officer's proposed changes were adopted with the exception of MTBE. The changes took effect
on April 1,2003. This memo documents the changes to the NPDES permitting policy for TRC limits.
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC)
Previously,TRC had an Action Level Standard,except in designated Trout waters. The Triennial Review changes
modified the TRC Action Level Standard to an Aquatic Life Standard of 17 µg/L The Aquatic Life Standard will
remain for designated Trout waters.
Aquatic Life Standard— 17 µg/L (freshwater only) Trout Waters—17 µg/L
Revised TRC Policy
➢ TRC limits will be assigned to permit renewals and all new permits issued after April 1,2003.
> Facilities that do not use chlorine will not receive a TRC limit;however,the presence of a chlorine back-up
system to augment UV or other disinfection requires a TRC limit_
> Facilities discharging to streams with a 7Q10 <0.05 cfs (zero-flow streams) will receive a limit of 17 µg/L
➢ Limits will be capped at 28 µg/L to protect against acute impacts.
It is likely that many facilities will need to add dechlorination (or use another means of disinfection) to comply with
the new TRC standard. Therefore,a compliance schedule of 18 months from the effective date of the permit may.
be added to any TRC limit added during the current permit renewal. This time period is allowed in order for the
facility to budget and design/construct the dechlorination and/or alternative disinfection system(s). The NPDES
Unit has promulgated minimum design criteria in order to expedite permitting of dechlorination equipment.

Iredell County, NC
Dear Mr. Hudson:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0020591 was issued on January 29, 2001
for the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose
of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and the liabilities in the event of failure
to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it is
suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular importance are Pages 4 and 5.
Pages 4 and 5 sets forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your
discharge. Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types and sampling
locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on reporting forms furnished or approved by this
Agency. If you have not received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive
the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent"
reporting form (DEM Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form. It is imperative that
all applicable parts be completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee may be required
for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our Raleigh Office. It is imperative
that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent enforcement action or possible revocation of
your permit.
The remaining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and special
conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s). The
conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment
unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater treatment plant

operator if you are operating wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater
treatment facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or discharged, expansions and/or
upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the Permittee
to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A civil
penalty of up to $25,000 per violation(and/or criminal penalties) may be assessed for such violations.
If you find at any time that you are unable to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit, you
should contact this Office immediately. A Special Order by Consent (SOC) may be necessary while
pursuing action to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period. Permits are not
automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180 days
prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit. This date is set forth on
Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not automatically transferable. If you, as
the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that the Division of Water Quality
rescind the Permit or request that DWQ reissue the Permit to another party, if necessary.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of your
NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville if you
have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing any assistance.

Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0020591
Third Creek WWTP
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Hudson:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly,we are
forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency
dated May 9,1994(or as subsequently amended).
The following changes were made to the final permit in response to your comment letter of December 19,2000:
➢ The limits for Lead,Chromium,and Nickel have been deleted. Reasonable Potential Analyses indicated
that the maximum predicted levels for these parameters were less than the allowable concentrations.
• Therefore,limits for these parameters are no longer necessary.
➢ Instream monitoring of Fecal Coliform and Conductivity has been deleted.
➢ The daily max limit for Cadmium was revised from 12.8 to 15 µg/1 as per current Division policy.
➢ The daily max limit for Cyanide was revised from 51.6 to 22 µg/1 as per current Division policy.
➢ Monitoring for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus has been changed to weekly. The results of this
additional monitoring will be used in the development of a nutrient management strategy for the Yadkin
River Basin.
➢ The limits for ammonia nitrogen were inadvertently changed in the draft permit. We apologize for this
mistake and have reinstated your previous limits.
If any parts,measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you,you
have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty(30) days following receipt of this letter. This request
must be in the form of a written petition,conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes,and filed with the
Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center,Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is
made,this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require
modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other
permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources,the
Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required. If you have any
questions concerning this permit,please contact David Goodrich at telephone number(919) 733-5083,extension 517.

A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction of significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 39%. •
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum,quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998,or subsequent versions or
"North Carolina Phase 11 Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-February 1998) or
subsequent versions.The tests will be performed during the months of January,April,July and October.
Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all
treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit
limit, then multiple-concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum,in each of the two following months as
described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-February 1998)
or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does
have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of"detectable impairment,"collection
methods, exposure regimes,and further statistical methods are specified in the"North Carolina.Phase 11 Chronic
Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the
pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally,DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the
following address:
Attention: NC DENR /DWQ / Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1621 •
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30
days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete,accurate,include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature.
Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity Monitoring is required,the
permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the
facility name,permit number,pipe number,county,and the month/year of the report with the notation of"No
Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at
the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,monitoring will be
required during the following month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality 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,
minimum control organism reproduction,and appropriate environmental controls,shall constitute an invalid test and will

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEM or"the Division"
Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources.
3. EMC• V
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 Iimitation 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.
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 Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week(arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the-samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily
Maximum"under"Other Limits"in Part l 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 "Annual Average"under"Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
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.
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. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual
values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the
individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is
equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values.
For purposes of calculating the geometric mean,values of zero(0) shall be considered to be one
(1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration
times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.

4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a 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 •
•
(I) 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; including an
evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II,E.6.of this permit. (24 hour notice).
•
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against
a permittee for bypass,unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to. prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(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. (I) 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 Iimitations 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
(1)An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s)of the upset;
(2)The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and

point. The effluent discharge is highly colored and tints the stream for several
miles (see also Part IV). Third Creek carries a lot of suspended sediment from
stormwater runoff in Statesville. Downstream uses of the surrounding land is
primarily agricultural with some undeveloped woodlands.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1. a. Volume of Wastewater: 2 MGD (average flow 1998)
b. What is the current permitted capacity: 4 MGD
c. Actual treatment capacity of current facility(current design capacity): 4 MGD
d. Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous ATCs issued in the
previous two'years: 1/30/97- The DWQ approved an ATC to construct two belt
presses with feed pumps, polymer system and wash water pumps (replaced the
existing dissolved air flotation thickener). The construction activities have been
completed and the new dewatering system is in operation. 9/26/96 - The DWQ
approved an ATC for the construction of a third influent screw pump. The
construction has been completed.
e. Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: The existing
WWT facilities consist of mechanical bar screens, influent screw pump station,
two extended aeration basins, waste and return pumps, two secondary clarifiers,
chlorination basin, an aerobic sludge digester, sludge thickener and a sludge press.
f. Description of proposed WWT facilities: N/A
g. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: The facility has several industries which
may contribute toxic substances, see permit application for more details. Chlorine
is added to the waste stream.
h. Pretreatment Program (POTWs only): The city has an approved pretreatment
program.
2. Residual handling and utilization/disposal scheme: Sludge is currently dewatered on-site
and transported to the Fourth Creek WWTP where it is treated for distribution using the
N-Viro Soil Process (reduced to a Class A material). The sludge is then taken by area
farmers for their use. No contractor is involved. The city also possesses a land
application permit (used as backup disposal method) and a landfill permit (the landfill at
Third Creek WWTP is no longer used).
a. If residuals are being land applied specify DWQ Permit No. WQ0014543 (only
two fields permitted with total acreage of 29.4 acres)
Residuals Contractor: none

3. Important SOC/JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: N/A
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: N/A
PART IV-EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee, City of Statesville, has applied for permit renewal. The WWTP serves the
Third Creek basin of the city. The WWTP appears to be adequate to meet all existing effluent
limits and is well maintained and operated. The subject WWTP is a member of the Yadkin Pee-
Dee River Basin Association. As a member, all instream monitoring is conducted by the
association. However, influent and effluent sampling remains under the control of the WWTP
facility.
This office has received multiple complaints regarding the colored effluent from this
WWTP. Jeff Carty(ORC) stated that the color is primarily attributable to MoCaro Dyeing and
Finishing. MoCaro contributes approximately 500,000 gallons of wastewater per day to the plant
(25% of the total daily load). The effluent color varies from deep red to purple and noticeably
tints Third Creek for several miles downstream. However,there is very little public exposure
downstream as the stream is surrounded by farmland and undeveloped woodlands. Most of the
complaints have come from observations at road crossings. If quantitative color standards are
ever adopted, the effluent from this plant would need to be reviewed.
It is recommended that the NPDES permit be.renewed as requested.

Dear Mr. -udson:
The Division rec-'• -: your permit renewal applications and two checks for
$400.00 (check # 056213 with NC0020591 and check # 056214 with NC0031836) on
January 22, 1999. Thank you for submitting these packages in a timely fashion.
Changes in the permitting fees for NPDES facilities took effect on January 1,
1999. Among those changes was the elimination of renewal fees for existing NPDES
permits. I am returning the two checks you submitted with these permit applications,
along with a revised fee schedule.
The permit renewal for these facilities will be assigned to a member of the NPDES
Unit staff. That staff member will contact you if further information is needed to
complete the permit renewals.
If you have any additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permits,
please contact me at [phone], extension 511.
Sincerely,
Charles H. Weaver, Jr.

Dear Mr. Hudson:
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received October 20, 1997 by the Division
and final plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and found to be satisfactory.
Authorization is hereby granted for the construction and/or system modification at the Fourth Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant. Specifically, this Authorization to Construct authorizes the following, with
all necessary piping and appurtenances:
• Construction of a flow splitter box for the influent to the three secondary clarifiers;
• Replacement of all RAS and WAS pumps;
• Demolition of all sludge disinfection facilities and installation of new disinfection equipment;
and
• Installation of influent skirt plates in clarifiers 1 and 2.
Although no Authorization to Construct is needed for the installation of the electronic actuators at
the Third Creek influent pump station, this letter authorizes their installation.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of NPDES
Permit No. NC0031836, issued October 20, 1994, and shall be subject to revocation unless the
wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in
Permit No. NC0031836.
The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with G.S.
143-215.1 and iri a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this
Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities.
