O WWQ
The Division of Water Quality (the Division) hereby issues the attached NPDES permit for the subject facility.
We issue this permit pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated
October 15, 2007, or as subsequently amended.
The Division received an Engineer's Certification form on September 17, 2008 testifying that dechlorination
facilities were added to your wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) according to your Authorization to Construct
permit (February 5, 2008). We understand that you have made no other significant changes during the previous
permit cycle.
We acknowledge your request to treat, under the subject NPDES permit, potable Water Treatment Plant (WTP)
filter backwash generated using Ion -Exchange (IE) technology. This request is hereby approved, and we have
updated the subject WWTP permit to include WTP-policy monitoring and parameters of concern (POCs). We
understand that you propose to continuously feed IE filter backwash to the existing WWTP via an EQ holding
tank, at an estimated rate of 12,000 gallons per month. Based on your previous 5-year flow average of 0.113 MGD
(2006-2010), this will add about 10% to your current WWTP effluent.
Changes to Your Draft Permit. The Division inadvertently left out Total Nitrogen (TN) - a requirement of your
previous permit. We also added Total Arsenic to the draft by mistake. These errors have been corrected for this
issuance [see permit Sections A. (1.) and (2.)]. We have also added Total Lead and Total Chloride, consistent with
similar permits statewide. Concerning monitoring frequencies, the current WTP Policy (revised September 2009)
requires Monthly monitoring for WTP toxicants and metal POCs. However, we have left this monitoring at
Quarterly, considering that your total effluent currently comprises only about 10% filter backwash. Please note
that if future effluent data suggest a risk to surface water quality, the Division may increase this monitoring
frequency and/or add permit limits for these POCs.
Changes to Your Previous Permit. Division records show a relatively poor compliance record over the previous
permit cycle, and has therefore increased your monitoring frequency for TRC and Fecal Coliform from Weekly to
3/Week. We have sorted effluent parameters by Monitoring Frequency, and have added parameter codes for your
convenience (see A. (1.) and (2.)].

Warning - The Division is concerned that IE brine or other WTP filter -backwash waste concentrations might
disrupt your existing WWTP bio-processes. Should IE influent prove untreatable at the WWTP, please be advised
that the Division may not otherwise permit an IE discharge to freshwaters of the state. Your options or alternatives
for IE filter backwash treatments will be limited to 100% waste -recyclable, i.e., non -discharge systems.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable, you
have the right to an adjudicatory hearing, upon written request submitted within thirty (30) days after receiving
this letter. Your request must take the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes, and you must file it with the office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such a demand is made, this permit shall be final and
binding.
This permit is not transferable except after notifying the Division of Water Quality. The Division may require
permit modification, or revocation and re -issuance. Please note that this permit does not affect your legal
obligation to obtain other permits required by the Division of Water Quality, the Division of Land Resources, the
Coastal Area Management Act, or other federal or local governments.
If you have questions, or if we can further assist you, please contact Joe Corporon at [[e-mail]]

A. (3.) ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING ONLY - (QUARTERLY)
The Permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the
North Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity
In A Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised -July, 1992 or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall
be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test. The effluent
concentration at which there may be ;at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment
two in the procedure document). Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained
during representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The tests will be performed during
the months of February, May, August, and November.
The parameter code for Pimephales promelas is TGE6C. All toxicity testing results required as part of
this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Form (MR-1) for the month in which it
was performed, using the appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-2 (original) is to
be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no
later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
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 there be no discharge of flow from the facility during any month, 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 Section
at the address cited above.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements 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.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT
Form submitted.
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 follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following
the month of the initial monitoring.

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions

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
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

effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-
hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs 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.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is
calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration
comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the
arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
Daily Maximum

PART IV
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR MUNICIPAL FACILITIES
Section A. Definitions
In addition to the definitions in Part II of this permit, the following definitions apply to municipal facilities:
Indirect Discharge or Industrial User
Any non -domestic source that discharges wastewater containing pollutants into a POTW regulated under section
307(b), (c) or (d) of the CWA. [40 CFR 403.3 (i) and (j)]
Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the POTW's NPDES Permit or prevents sewage sludge
use or disposal in compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A
NCAC 2H.0903 (b) (13)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a
violation, of the POTW's NPDES permit, or of an instream water quality standard. [15A NCAC 2H.0903 (b) (23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, owned by a State or local government entity. This
definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes sewers, pipes, and other conveyances only if they
convey wastewater to a POTW. The term also means the local government entity, or municipality, as defined in
section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges to and the discharges from such a
treatment works. [15A. NCAC 2H.0903 (b) (27)]
"Significant Industrial User" or "SIU"
An industrial user that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC
2H.0903 (b) (34)]:
(a) discharges an average of 25,000 gallons or more per day of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding
sanitary, noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters) or;
(b) contributes more than 5 percent of the design flow of the POTW treatment plant or more than 5 percent of the
maximum allowable headworks loading of the POTW treatment plant for any pollutant of concern, or;
(c) is required to meet a national categorical pretreatment standard, or;
(d) is, regardless of Parts (a), (b), and (c) of this definition, otherwise determined by the POTW, the Division, or
the EPA to have a reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any
pretreatment standard or requirement or POTW's receiving stream standard, or to limit the POTW's sludge
disposal options.
Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs)
All POTWs are required to prevent the introduction of pollutants into the POTW which will interfere with the
operation of the POTW, including interference with its use or disposal of municipal sludge, or pass through the
treatment works or otherwise be incompatible with such treatment works. [40 CFR 403.2]
All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122:42 (b)]:
1. Any new introduction of pollutants into the POTW from an indirect discharger, regardless of the means of
transport, which would be subject to section 301 or 306 of CWA if it were directly discharging those
pollutants; and
2. Any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants being introduced by an indirect discharger as
influent to that POTW at the time of issuance of the permit.

wastestreams with a closed cup flashpoint of less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 degrees
Centigrade using the test methods specified in 40 CFR 261.21;
(2) Pollutants which cause corrosive structural damage to the POTW, but in no case discharges with pH
lower than 5.0, unless the works is specifically designed to accommodate such discharges;
Solid or viscous pollutants in amounts which cause obstruction to the flow in the POTW resulting in
Interference;
Any pollutant, including oxygen demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.) released in a Discharge at a flow
rate and/or pollutant concentration which will cause Interference with the POTW;
Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the POTW resulting in Interference, but in no
case heat in such quantities that the temperature at the POTW Treatment Plant exceeds 40°C (104°F)
unless the Division, upon request of the POTW, approves alternate temperature limits;
(6) Petroleum oil, non -biodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin in amounts that will
cause Interference or Pass Through;
Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapors, or fumes within the POTW in a quantity
that may cause acute worker health and safety problems;
(8) Any trucked or hauled pollutants, except at discharge points designated by the POTW.
c. The Permittee shall investigate the source of all discharges into the POTW, including slug loads and other
unusual discharges, which have the potential to adversely impact the permittee's Pretreatment Program

final review, the Division has made the following changes to the permit draft:
• added Total Nitrogen (TN) to effluent pages (previously permitted / inadvertently left out)
• deleted Total Arsenic (not required by Sep2009 policy)
• added Total Lead and Total Chloride (required by 2009 policy)
Rationale for Relaxed Monitoring Frequencies [noted in cover letter] -- Although the current WTP
Policy (revised September 2009) requires Monthly monitoring for toxicants and metals, the
Division has left monitoring of WTP parameters of concern at Quarterly, considering that the total
W WTP effluent currently comprises only about 10% filter backwash. However, if future effluent
data suggest a risk to surface water quality, the Division may increase this monitoring frequency
and/or add permit limits for these POCs.

Proposed Renewal Changes
• The Permittee proposes to add WTP ion -exchange (IE) filter backwash to the W WTP
influent; [IE flow-12,000 gal/month; WWTP effluent-0.113 MGD (actual average, 2006-
2010)], therefore IE —10% of W WTP effluent. The Division has therefore added 2007 WTP
Policy parameters of concern for IE technology, including metals and WET Testing at the
W WTP outfall — Quarterly monitoring of all added parameters to be conducted
concurrently with IE influent [see Section A. (L)]. [see Fact Sheet Addendum 07Ju12011]
• Cover letter to warn Permittee that if future M discharges (high brine) upset the W WTP
biomass, there is no discharge alternative for this technology, save reverting to a non -
discharge or wholly 100%-recycling potable WTP system. Proposed discharges of BE
backwash to freshwater streams may not be permitted under current statewide policy.
• Updated map for renewal; added parameter codes to Effluent Table, A. (1.).
• Poor compliance history prompted CO/FRO to increase monitoring frequency from Weekly
to 3/Week for TRC and Fecal.
BIMS Downloads and Review Results
• Compliance - DMR limit and monitoring violations; Twenty (20) NOVs issued (2008-
2010) for fecal coliform, TRC, BOD5, TP and pH - eight (8) violations for Fecal Coliform
proceeded to enforcement. FRO recommends increase monitoring frequencies [see memo
from Mark Brantley (FRO) to Maureen Scardina (CO/ROC), dated l4Feb2011].
• TOX data Summary —No data to date; added TOX for renewal per 2007 WTP policy [see
Section A. (3.)]. DMR Parameter Values Export - RPA not required; no parameters of
concern.

Woodlake WWTP. NCO061719
The e-mail we received last week from Charles listed you as the permit writer for the Woodlake WWTP (NC0061719).
We have already submitted a staff report but would like to submit additional information. They currently have a daily
maximum limit for fecal (400/100mi) and a monthly average for fecal (200/100ml). They are starting to have daily fecal
violations more often. In 2008 they had 4 daily violations, in 2009 they had 7 daily violations, and in 2010 (through
October) they had 6 daily and 1 monthly fecal violation.
For a little history, this WWTP is owned and operated by Aqua North Carolina Inc. and is called an Aeromod Complete
Mix System with a tube settler -type clarifier. (We think there is only one other system like this in the state.) The
clarifier part of this system does not work very well. This causes the chlorine contact chamber to act as a secondary
clarifier. When solids build up in this unit it causes the fecal violations by not having enough chlorine contact time due
to lack of treatment space. The operators at the WWTP have told us that the company has plans to put in a secondary
clarifier but appear to be in no hurry to do so.
During the last inspection, the operators stated that the chlorine contact chamber had to be cleaned 2-3 times a week
due to solids build up and that permit required samples were taken immediately after cleaning was complete.
The FRO would like to increase their current monitoring frequency from weekly to 3 times per week for several reasons.
First we would like true representative sample for what is being discharged to the receiving stream. Second, if the
chlorine contact chamber needs cleaning more frequently they will have to do it in order to collect a compliant sample.
Finally, we hope that Aqua would see the need to move forward with the installation of a secondary clarifier and any
other improvements that need to be made to the plant to ensure NPDES permit compliance.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Thanks

Table 2.2: Monitorin$ Reauirentents for Ion Exchanee WTPs
The monitoring requirements included below identify various pollutants of concern including conventional parameters,
nutrients, and toxicants. A brief rationale for the inclusion of these contaminants can be found in Appendix A. Other toxicants
were not included because they were either not detected or rarely detected in the effluent data surveyed. However, if a pollutant
specific problem is detected in the receiving stream, effluent, or source water then a monitoring requirement may be added for
that parameter. Likewise, if data indicate that a pollutant is not present in the facility's discharge, that parameter may be
r/ dropped from the requirements. Limits should be added if the facility shows reasonable potential to exceed water quality
standards for toxicants. New facilities should monitor for pollutants of concerns regardless of whether or not there is a water
q
lity standard. Monitoring requirements can be re-evaluated during subs$ uent renewals.

1. An exception to the composite sampling is provided by 15A NCAC 2B.0505 (C), which states that facilities with design flows
under 30,000 gallons per day may use grab samples to characterize their effluent.
2. Sampling locations: E = Effluent, U = Upstream of discharge location, D = Downstream of discharge location.
3. For intermittent discharges, instantaneous flow monitoring is required and the duration of the discharge most be reported. The
monitoring frequency for flow should be as frequent as the minimum frequency of monitoring for any parameter listed.
34 4. The facility may petition to have DO and temperature monitoring removed from the permit after monitoring for 1 permit cycle.
5. For existing plants, TSS limits may need to be phased in over a period of time to allow for the construction of new treatment
facilities.
6. Footnote for permit: Limit and monitor only if the facility adds chlorine or chlorine derivatives to water that is eventually
discharged. The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 ug/l to be in compliance with the permit.
However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values reported by a North Carolina certified laboratory (including
field certified), even if these values fall below 50 uo.
7. If the receiving stream is impaired for turbidity a daily maximum limit should be given. See Appendix A for ('unit and footnote.
8. Fluoride monitoring should apply only if the facility backwashes with fluoridated, finished water.
9. Facilities under 0.05 MGD should only monitor for nutrients if discharging into a NSW. Monitoring frequency should align with
basin -specific requirements if those are more stringent.
10. See section on WET testing for details (Table 5.2).

V. IMPLEMENTATION
S.I. Monitoring Frequency
hi order to be consistent with the monitoring guidance employed for other permits across the state, monitoring
frequencies will be based on the flow divisions used to define facility class in the 15A NCAC 08C .0302 regulations.
Requirements described in 15A NCAC 2B _0508(d) for water supply plants were used as guidance. Table 5 summarizes
the monitoring requirements. After sufficient data have been collected (eight to 12 data points over at least one year) the
permittee may petition for a reduction in monitoring.
Table 5.1: WTP Monitoring Requirements
If a parameter is not currently limited but requires a limitation based on potential, increase sampling frequency by one
degree. (Quarterly -+ Monthly, Monthly 2 Month)
Conventional Parameters (except flow)
Facility Gass
and Toxicants
(Effluent and Instream)
Permitted Flow < 0.5 MGD
If limited - 2/Month
Not limited - Monthly
Permitted Flow >_ 05 MGD
If limited - Weekly
Not limited - 2/Month
5.2. Whole Effluent Toxicity Testing
Membrane, ion exchange, and conventional WTPs should be required to conduct quarterly WET tests for monitoring
purposes. Eventually, the Division may choose to use this data to develop additional policy. The type of WET test
conducted will vary depending on receiving stream characteristics_ In addition, the level of available dilution and tidal
effects will determine whether the facility should perform an acute or chronic test, while the type of water (freshwater or
saltwater) will determine which organism should be used. Table 1 summarizes WET -testing requirements. Appendix A
includes sample WET language.
Greensand filter systems will not be required to monitor whole effluent toxicity.

Subject: RE: need to reassign NCO061719
I've put a 2011 draft on the server in Permit Files. I went ahead and made the standard updates/additions to the permit
so all that is needed is an updated map if appropriate and any "modifications" per WTP strategy as well as addressing
the FRO's concerns with fecal issues.

Cc: Corporon, Joe; Scardina, Maureen
Subject: need to reassign NCO061719
John — this renewal was originally assigned to Maureen. Developments at the site make this renewal
very complex:
The permittee has added ion -exchange wastewater from a well -treatment system to the discharge. This
will require implementing the WTP strategy into a combined effluent wastestream.
The FRO is requesting increased fecal monitoring due to compliance problems at the site.
I believe NCO061719 should be reassigned. If Joe could do it, it would be similar to a major mod he did
last year for-NC0065307. He could switch NCO057525 with Maureen for NC0061719. Joe's also been
working with the FRO due to ongoing compliance issues with NC0061719, so he would have little trouble
resolving the fecal monitoring issue with them.
I'd ordinarily recommend that Tom's unit handle this. Julie's heavy workload due to the dissolved metals
debacle means she'd be six months getting to this one. Joe can do it, I believe. He can hand NCO057525
to Maureen, which can then proceed without delay.
Talk it over with Maureen and Joe. Let me know how you'd like to proceed.

From: Vanessa Manuel
Subject: Proposed NPDES Permitting Actions for 2011 Permit Renewals
Cape Fear River Basin
In January 2011, BIMS was queried to ascertain those permitted facilities in the Cape Fear Basin
exceeding a subjective compliance threshold (25 civil penalty assessments or 2:10 NOVs issued within
the last 3+years). This resulted in the identification of 26 facilities for possible permitting actions. A list
of the facilities was routed to the 5 regional offices in the Cape Fear Basin for staff recommendations. A
summary of the recommendations are included below. Assigned permit writers should incorporate
recommended actions or conduct follow-ups with the regions and/or the appropriate ROC as necessary.

1. NC0001406, Erwin WWTP #2 (permit assigned to Jim M.) — No action recommended. Scheduled
to eliminate discharge via connection to the new North Harnett regional plant in a couple of
years.
2. NC0026671, Elizabethtown WWTP (permit assigned to Jim M.) —No action recommended.
Problems seem to be resolved.
3. NC0058548, Star WWTP (permit assigned to Jim M.) —No action recommended. Problems
caused by a lack of flow to the plant (loss of industry).
4. NC0061719, Woodlake Country Club WWTP (permit assigned to Maureen 5.) — No permitting
action recommended. This is an older plant that does not have a clarifier. The operators would
like a small clarifier added to the treatment plant, but the owners will not make the purchase.
Region feels this would be a good candidate for an Administrative Order (Special Order without
Consent).
5. NC0064521, Erwin WWTP (permit assigned to Jim M.)—No permitting action recommended.
Major 1/1 work has been done at the plant. It is scheduled to close and tie in to the North
Harnett regional plant in the next few years. Region feels this would be a good candidate for an
Administrative Order (Special Order without Consent).
6. NC0072877, Newton Grove WWTP (permit assigned to Maureen 5.) —No action recommended.
This is a well operated, 100% domestic plant. Good compliance during the past year.

1. NC0020575, Mount Olive WWTP (permit assigned to Jackie N.) — No action recommended.
However, the permit writer may want to follow-up with the region to ascertain any new
developments post the region's planned site inspection. The permit was modified years ago to
address the non-compliance issues. Currently, the town is in litigation with its consulting
engineering firm regarding the design & oversight of the construction project.
WIRO
1. NC0003344, Wallace Chicken Processing Plant (permit assigned to Jim M.) —This facility is under
a Judicial Order by Consent. Recommend referencing the JOC in the renewed permit.
2. NC0020346, Magnolia WWTP (permit assigned to Maureen S.) — No action recommended.
Compliance problems relate to plant design flaws and construction issues. For the most part,
issues have been resolved or a work -around established. Permit writer may want to follow-up
with the region.
3. NC0020702, Wallace WWTP (permit assigned to Ron B.) — No action recommended. Past
compliance issues attributed to poor 0&M by the old ORC. Facility is now operating under an
SOC and a new plant is under construction. Plant has 1/1 issues that should be resolved with the
new plant.
4. NC0056863, Rose Hill WWTP (permit assigned to Jackie N.) — Special condition requesting a
solids depth survey and submittal of a plan for solids removal; follow-up with the region. Lack
of proper O&M (ex., solids volume maintenance and proper oversight of treatment
volume/detention in the oxidation ditch) is attributed to compliance issues. Because the facility
is classified as a major, need to consider increasing monitoring frequency and adding daily limit
requirements. Currently, influent monitoring is controlled by the effluent meter.- Need a
special condition inserted in renewed permit that upon expansion or significant upgrade that
this issue is addressed.

Dear Mr. Poupart:
T. 919.467.8712
F: 919.460.1788
www.aquanorthcarolina.com
Aqua North Carolina is submitting the attached NPDES permit renewal application, which
includes a request for modification.
We request that the referenced permit be modified to allow the discharge of ion exchange
backwash water as an additional waste stream. As you are aware, ion exchange backwash water
often contains relatively high concentrations of sodium. Where practicable, Aqua wishes to utilize
existing permitted wastewater treatment facilities to manage this backwash water in lieu of
seeking individual permits for all installations. No additional permitted flow is requested for this
operation.
The Woodlake Country Club VW TP has the appropriate facilities to be used as a regional
wastewater treatment system for ion exchange backwash water. In particular, the VW TP plans to
periodically receive approximately 1,000 gallons of backwash water on a weekly basis from each
of these public water system facilities: Bragg Estates, Braxton Hills, and Simmons Heights. The
backwash water will be fed into the VWI TP headworks from a 2,500 gallon on -site storage tank in
a controlled fashion so as not to impact treatment biology or the instream aquatic environment.
Attached you will find NPDES Form D and supporting data. Please direct technical questions to
our consultant, Mark McIntire at [phone], who prepared this package. Otherwise, I can be
contacted at [phone]. Thank you for your prompt consideration of our request.
