Dear Mr. Carmichael:
The Division of Environmental Management is modifying the subject permit as per the
Catawba River Basin Plan and recent discussions between you and the Division staff. After
expansion, the treatment plant will be required to meet a limit of 1 mg/1 total phosphorus year
round and a limit of 6 mg/1 total nitrogen during the summer (April 1 - October 31). Compliance
will be based upon a monthly average of weekly samples.
Please find the enclosed amended effluent sheets which should be inserted into your
permit. The old pages should be discarded. All other terms and conditions contained in the •
original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. This permit modification is issued
pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and the
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency.
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, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27611-7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions concerning this revision, please contact Mr. Jay Lucas, P.E., at
telephone number 919/733-5083 ext. 502.

sampled and!or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled
and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during
such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days
the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average"
in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
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.

Part II

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 I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar year. This limitation is identified as "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.

Part II

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).

Part II
Page 4 of 14
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably
represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.

operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset. and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.

F. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT(QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure- Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 80% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date
of this permit during the months of March, June, September and December. Effluent sampling for
this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment
processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed,using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally,DEM Form AT-1 (original)is to be sent to the following address:

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.
G. Pollutant Analysis Condition
The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment plant.
The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be
completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral extractables;
(d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The
Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM)Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying
memo, to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement, describes the
sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant analysis.

This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring
Requirement" (APAM).
•
(2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.
For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement
Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions. This part(item 2) of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the "10 significant peaks rule").

Dear Mr. Keeter:
The pretreatment rules in 15A NCAC 2H .0900 have been revised effective November 1, 1994.
Therefore, the pretreatment requirements for the City of Gastonia have changed and your
NPDES permit is hereby modified to reflect these changes. Please insert the enclosed
Part III.A-B into the appropriate place in your current NPDES permit and disregard the old
Part III.A-B. Please note that any original Part III conditions after Part III.B are still in effect and
must remain in the permit.
The main change is found in Part III.B.10 with a change from Semi-Annual Reports (SAR) to
Pretreatment Annual Reports (PAR). Your PAR is due by September 1 of each year and shall
cover activities for the two previous six-month periods. Please include the following periods in
your first annual report:
First six month period: 7/1/94 - 12/31/94
Second six month period: 1/1/95 - 6/30/95
You are reminded that you must still judge compliance for each industrial user for each six-
month period, and take appropriate enforcement action.
The requirements for submission of a PAR are found in Chapter 9 of the Comprehensive
Guidance for North Carolina Pretreatment Programs.
This permit modification is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the
US Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983.

inputs from industries using the municipal system may be present in the permittee's
discharge. At such time as sufficient information becomes available to establish
limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be revised to specify effluent limitations
for any or all of such other pollutants in accordance with best practicable technology or
water quality standards.
2. Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction of the following wastes
in the waste treatment system:
a. Pollutants which create a fire or explosion hazard in the POTW, including, but not
limited to, 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;
b. Pollutants which will 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;
c. Solid or viscous pollutants in amounts which will cause obstruction to the flow in the
POTW resulting in Interference;
d. 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;
e. 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;
f. Petroleum oil, nonbiodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin in
amounts that will cause interference or pass through;
g. 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;
h. Any trucked or hauled pollutants, except at discharge points designated by the
POTW.
3. With regard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit, it may be
necessary for the permittee to supplement the requirements of the Federal Pretreatment

Wasteload Allocation Summary
The proposed discharge point is immediately upstream of a pool resulting from Duke
Power's operation of a modified peaking hydroelectric project at the Spencer Mountain dam. The
operation of this project limits the available assimilative capacity at the proposed discharge point.
Therefore,it is recommended that the facility receive advanced tertiary treatment limits. In
meetings with the State,Gastonia has been informed of this possibility and had previously agreed
to build an advanced tertiary treatment facility.
Due to the presence of the Spencer Mountain Dam pool, the facility should be required to
install an effluent diffuser with multiple ports distributed across the width of the river and a
minimum of 10:1 initial dilution. The plume should avoid boundary interaction, i.e., bottom
attachment, bank interaction. The permittee should note that toxicity testing requirements and any
existing or future chemical specific limits may be based on the dilution provided by the diffuser.

Part III Permit No. NC0020184
F. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT(QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure(North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure- Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 80% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date
of this permit during the months of March, June, September and December. Effluent sampling for
this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment
processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1)for the month in which it was performed,using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally,DEM Form AT-1 (original)is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
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.
G. Pollutant Analysis Condition
The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment plant.
The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be
completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral extractables;
(d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The
Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying
memo, to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement, describes the
sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant analysis.

. This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring
Requirement" (APAM).
(2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.
For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement
Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions. This part(item 2) of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the "10 significant peaks rule").
H. Disposal Alternatives
The Permittee shall continually evaluate all wastewater disposal alternatives and pursue the most
environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost effective alternatives. If the facility is in
substantial non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the NPDES permit or governing rules,
regulations, or laws, the permittee shall submit a report in such form and detail as required by the
Division evaluating these alternatives and a plan of action within sixty (60) days of notification by
the Division.

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Recommendations for Color Monitoring
Per 15 A NCAC 2B.0211 (b)3 (F) for colored wastes, the permittee shall discharge
only such amounts as will not render the waters injurious to public health,
secondary recreation, or aquatic life and wildlife or adversely affect the
palatability of fish, aesthetic quality or impair the waters for any designated g
uses. Pi
For the purpose of measuring compliance with this requirement, the permit -e
shall perform the following: C>
Within 120 days of the effective date of this permit - ee shall begin 4/•,:i.„,
monitoring for color at the Effluent, Upstream, an. Downstream =t �a
designated sites (see part I.A.) .
The samples shall be analyzed using the Spectrophotometric Method (2120 C.)
in the 17th edition of Standard Methods. The calculations must be done using
tpe
the weighted ordinance method. The test should be performed using a spectropho- eb'
tometer with a 2.0 nanometer (nm) band pass and 50 millimeter cell path. The
operating range should begin at 400 nm and end at 700 nm (using 10 nm intervals)
and measure transmittance values at 31 wavelengths. The results shall be
calculated and reported in ADMI color units from the information indicated (see
reference below for worksheets and examples for calculation of ADMI values) .
Analyze samples free from turbidity or at "true color" through the filtration
method using a .45 micron filter (centrifugation is not necessary) .
Samples shall be collected on 3 consecutive days (between Tuesday and Friday)
during each month for twelve months following permit issuance, and on 3
consecutive days per quarter thereafter. Effluent samples shall be composited
over 24 hours, while instream samples shall be grab samples. For Publicly-Owned
Treatment Works (POTWs) with an approved pretreatment program, this sampling
regime (or alternative monitoring program approved by the Division's Pretreat-
ment Program) should be incorporated within the POTW's approved headworks
long-term monitoring program which should also include monitoring to assess
industrial sources of color and POTW color removal efficiency.
For the purpose of reporting: The ADMI values shall be reported at natural and
standard pH (7.6 SU) for all three sites. In addition to the ADMI measurements
reported on the permittee's DMR, the permittee shall attach a narrative
description of visual observations made during each sampling event using a form
provided by the Division. Such a description shall include perceived color in
the effluent and receiving stream (i.e. whether effluent plume is noticeable
and, if so, the approximate width and length of the plume) , rainfall, and
streamflow. Also, the permittee shall verify on this form that the type of
spectrophotometer (indicating band pass (nm) and cell path (mm) ) employed, and
method used for filtration are in accordance with the requirements of this
permit condition.

Part III Permit No. NC0020184
F. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT(QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure -Revised*September 1989)or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 80% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date
of this permit during the months of March,June, September and December. Effluent sampling for
this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment
processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1)for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally,DEM Form AT-1 (original)is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
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.
G. Pollutant Analysis Condition
The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment plant.
The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be
completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral extractables;
(d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The
Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM)Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying
memo, to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement, describes the

T
• sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant analysis.
This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring
Requirement" (APAM).
(2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.
For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement
Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions. This part(item 2)of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the "10 significant peaks rule").
H. Disposal Alternatives
The Permittee shall continually evaluate all wastewater disposal alternatives and pursue the most
environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost effective alternatives. If the facility is in
substantial non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the NPDES permit or governing rules,
regulations, or laws, the permittee shall submit a report in such form and detail as required by the
Division evaluating these alternatives and a plan of action within sixty (60) days of notification by
the Division.

Dear Mr. Keeter:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0020184 was
issued on December 23, 1992 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 4-7.
Pages 4-7 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge(s) . Your discharge(s) 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 the
reporting forms furnished to you 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.
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
P.O. Box 950, 919 North Main Street, Mooresville, N.C. 28115-0950•Telephone [phone]•FAX [phone]

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 $10, 000 per violation plus 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 Consent Order 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 transferable. If
you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should
request that the Permit be rescinded.
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.

Part III Permit No. NC0020184
F. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT(QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure -Revised*September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 80% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date
of this permit during the months of March,June, September and December. Effluent sampling for
this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment
processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1)for the month in which it was performed,using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally,DEM Form AT-1 (original)is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
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.
G. Pollutant Analysis Condition
The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment plant.
The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be
completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral extractables;
(d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The
Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring(APAM)Requirement Reporting Form A and accompanying
memo, to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement, describes the

sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant analysis.
This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring
Requirement" (APAM).
(2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.
For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable
base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10
unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement
Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2)of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the "10-significant peaks rule").
H. Disposal Alternatives
The Permittee shall continually evaluate all wastewater disposal alternatives and pursue the most
environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost effective alternatives. If the facility is in
substantial non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the NPDES permit or governing rules,
regulations, or laws, the permittee shall submit a report in such form and detail as required by the
Division evaluating these alternatives and a plan of action within sixty (60) days of notification by
the Division.

PART IV
ANNUAL ADMINISTERING AND COMPLIANCE MONITORING FEE REQUIREMENTS
A. The permittee must pay the annual administering and compliance monitoringfe fee
ely within
m t nr30
(thirty) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay
in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b)(4) may cause this Division to initiate action to
revoke the permit.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant, City of Gastonia, has requested renewal of the
permit issued to the Long Creek WWTP. An on-site inspection
conducted on June 15, 1992 did not reveal any major deficiencies
with the treatment plant components or their operation. A review
of the past year's monitoring data did not reveal any permit limit
violations. Major plant expansion is planned for the near future
and should improve the treatment capabilities of the plant.
It is recommended that the permit be renewed.
