Wasteload Allocation Summary
(approach taken, correspondence with region, EPA, etc.)
Checked A to C book to see if facility was operating within its flow design capacity. I used flow
information from old WLA. Met with Joe Pearce to discuss the Long Term Pretreatment Data. .
Most recent APAM has detection concentrations for Tri- and Di- chlorobenzenes. Request limits
for Chromium and Nickel be set and monitoring for Silver and Selenium based on toxicants
analysis. Staff report requested monitoring for Chlorides, MBAS, and Silver. Requested
quarterly monitoring for Mercury b/c it will not be included in the LTMP, the types of industries,
and there is no data available.
,Special Schedule Requirements and additional comments from Reviewers- Z

INSTREAM MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Upstream Location: 100 feet above discharge point
Downstream Location: 2 locations: 1.9 miles below discharge at SR 2359
3.5 miles below discharge at SR 2362
Parameters: DO, fecal coliform, temperature and conductivity
Special instream monitoring locations or monitoring frequencies:
Conductivity stream samples should be collected three times per week during June, July, August, and
September, and once per week during the remaining months of the year.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION & SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Has the facility demonstrated the ability to meet the proposed new limits with existing treatment
facilities? Yes X No
If no, which parameters cannot be met?
Would a "phasing in" of the new limits be appropriate? Yes No
If yes, please provide a schedule (and basis for that schedule) with the regional
office recommendations:
If no, why not?
Monitor Chlorides, MBAS, and Selenium quarterly.
Wasteload sent to EPA? (Major) Y (Y or N)
(If yes, then attach updated evaluation of facility including, toxics spreadsheet, modeling analysis
if modeled at renewal, and description of how it fits into basinwide plan)
Additional Information attached? (Y or N) If yes, explain with attachments.

I/P_ CtJCU7P Permit # .00c�1 /Pipe #
CHROMIC 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 CCriodaphnia 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 �13_a_% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform
qm=crjy monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be
performed after hr'rty days from the effective date of this permit during the months of
Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES
permitted finale uent 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 I (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.

MEMORANDUM TO: Steve Tedder
FROM: D. Rex Gleason
PREPARED BY: Richard BridgemanZ j
SUBJECT: City of Statesville
Third Creek WWTP _
NPDES Permit No. NCO020591 ,
WQ0004040 (Sludge landfill permit)
Iredell County
Your guidance is requested. A prologue is needed to set the
stage. On January 23, 1993 the City of Statesville, in response to
Permit Cadmium and Cyanide effluent limits violations, requested
a Special Order by Consent. The City requested until July 1, 1997
to achieve compliance. Subsequent discussion with the City
resulted in a revised plan to provide for an immediate redress to
limits noncompliance. The plan basically consisted of the removal
of old heavily contaminated sludge from the system, for which a
three month period was requested. The City expected to be in full
compliance by May 31, 1993. In response to the revised plan, and
with concurrence from Raleigh, by memorandum dated February 24,
1993 this Office forwarded a draft suggested administrative letter
for the Director's signature, to be issued in lieu of an SOC. This
was done because proposed activities would be completed prior to
the earliest possible issuance of an SOC.
Before action could be taken on the aforementioned draft
letter, the City requested a 30 day extension, or to June 30, 1993,
to achieve compliance. A revised draft letter was forwarded to
Raleigh on June 8, 1993. Two more such extension requests were
forthcoming. Each month it had seemed as though compliance was
within reach, but it was also becoming evident that the problem was
more complex than realized and would require time to resolve. For
one thing, there appeared to be five times more sludge to remove
than first anticipated. For another, even though aeration basin #1
had been cleaned by the end of September, 1993, after repeated
flushing and refilling effluent cadmium concentrations were still
above influent levels. Aeration basin #1 was back in operation by
December, 1993, but the problem still existed.

In November, 1993 it was discovered that the old metals -
entrained sludge that had been removed from aeration basin #1 and
disposed of in eight monofil trenches on site, in accordance with
Permit No. WQ0004040, contained cadmium above the hazardous waste
regulatory level. Subsequent meeting(s) between the City and staff
from the Hazardous Waste Section of the Division of solid waste
Management resulted in an agreement not to bury any more sludge
until further sludge characterization could be completed. Indeed,
the City thought that DSWM regulations precluded further disposal.
On January 24, 1994 DSWM issued a Notice of Assessment to the City.
There is a concurrence between the Facility Assessment Unit
and this Office that negotiations relative to the SOC should be
resumed. To this end, a meeting was held at this Office on
February 24, 1993 between the writer, Joe Hudson (Director of the
City's Water/ Wastewater Treatment), George House (Environmental
Attorney for the City), and David Huff and Douglas Vaughn (both
with Peirson &. Whitman Architects and Engineers). Mr. House
contends that removal of sludge from the aeration basins and
digester is not subject to the jurisdiction of DSWM. At this
meeting it was determined that activities begun in February, 1993
(removal of old sludge from the treatment system) could not be
resumed and completed until the violation of DSWM regulations was
redressed. The City proposes to, as quickly as allowed, continue
with cleaning out the other aeration basin and the digester, and to
pour concrete liners in the two aeration basins and digester.
By letter (attached) dated February 28, 1994 the City asked
for our help in resolving the jurisdiction question. A meeting at
Statesville's Fourth Creek wWTP has been scheduled for March 14,
1994 at 10:30 Am. It is our understanding that both the City and
DSWM will be represented by legal counsel. Brenda Smith, Richard
Bridgeman, and I plan to attend. After review of the matter,
please advise this Office (or the Attorney General's Office) of the
need for other attendees. Any further assistance would be
appreciated; this Office wants to proceed with SOC negotiations.
For your information, the Director was faxed a copy of the City's
February 28, 1994 letter.
Please advise if you have questions. '

Re: Third Creek WW TP
City of statesae
DW Mr. Smith:
On February 24,1994, I and other Miewtatives of the City of Statesville met with Mr.
Richard Bridgeman of your office to discuss the serious operational problems which the City of
Statesville faces in trying to operate its wastewater treatment plant in accordance with Permits
No. NCO020591 and WQ0004040 under the constraints imposed by Mr. Jesse W. Wells of the
Rezaxdous Waste Section during an on -site conference . on November 30, 1993 and in his
subsequent letter of January 24, 19940
Statesville obtained an amendment to WQM040 on June 17,1993 to allow it to remove
the 20+ years of accumulated solids from Aeration Basin 1, Aeration Basin 2 and the Digestw-
Statesville's consulting engineers believe the removal of these accumulated solids may
significantly seduce the amount of cadmium being discharged Into 'third Creek and possibly
allow Statesville to meet the cadmium effluent limits of Permit No. NC0020591. Because
Statesville cannot remove the accumulated solids in the bottom of the Digester and Aemdon
Basin 2 and collect there in the monofUl permitted by WQ=0409 the treatment plant cannot
be cleaned to determine if it can meet the current cadmium effluent limits of KC0020591 and
is in danger of being unable to treat the current influent load.
•We have discussed this problem with outside environmental counsel: George W. douse
and the firm of Brooks pierce, McLendon, Humphrey & Leonard, L.L.P., P. O. Box 26000,

(31M boro, NC 27420. Aft researching this matter, Mr. Douse bas advised us that the
activities of temoving solids from Aeration Basin 1, Aeration Basin 2 and the Digester and
ftoslang theta is the Non -Discharge System's pw itted under WQ0004040 is under the
jurisdiction of Water C uWity Secdon and should not be subject to the jurisdiction of the Solid
Waste Section. The construction and use of monofills to collect excess solids has been an
integral part of Stage's endre NPDirS treatment system for a number of years. These
monofills comply with the requirements of 15A NCAC 02H .0200 and are designed to prevent
migration of coataminants and are continuously monitored for groundwater impacts.
M. House advisrs that the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") excludes
from the definition of solid waste "solids or dissolved material in do:nesdc sewage.' North
Carolina has codified the RCR.A exemption in N.C. (hat. Stet. Soo. 130-290(a)(35) (the North
Carolina Solid waste Management Act) and clearly states that the term "solid waste" does not
include:
solid or dissolved matmial in:
(1) domestic sewage and sludges generated by treatment
thereof in sanitary sewage collection, treatment of
disposal syst ms which are designed to discharge
effluent to surface waters;"
Mr. House is of the opinion that the monofilis developed and operated under WQ=040
fall within this exemption and Mr. Wells' oral and written instructions are inappropt3a. V
�.:gardl�s of whether o�* outs:ds e::v:.*o�:::i'al oo�:n��'s opinion is ooszeot, Staff
requests authorizat;on to continue, to remove the solids from Aeration Basin 2 and the Digestef
and collect them in the monofili as contemplated under WQ0004G40. This material is
substantially the same as the material previously collected in the monofdl before November 30,
1993 from Aeration Basin 1. if there is a cadmium problem over which the Solid Waste Section
bas jurisdiction, at least all of the materials will be collected In one pie in a monoM which
is capable of stabs zing. that cadmium until a decision can be trade whether any further
remediation is necessary. This is ciculy preferable to discharging cadmium to Third Cr=L
