4. Instream Data Summary
Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example: 1) to verify model predictions
when model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/1 of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to
verify model predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future TMDL; 4) based on other
instream concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also
Monitoring Coalitions established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in
which case instream monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained).
If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will be proposed for this
permit action: The current permit requires instream monitoring for dissolved oxygen, temperature,
conductivity and fecal coliform upstream of the outfall at least 100 feet, downstream (D 1) at NCSR 1612,
and downstream (D2) at NCSR 1108. Data was observed from July 2016 to June 2020. The data has been
summarized in Table 2 below.

Students t-tests were run at a 95% confidence interval to analyze relationships between instream
samples. A statistically significant difference is determined when the t-test p-value result is < 0.05
The downstream temperature did not exceed 32 degrees Celsius [per 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (18)]. The
temperature differential exceeded 2.8 degrees Celsius on one occasion between the upstream sample
location and both downstream sample locations D1 and D2 during the period reviewed. It was concluded
that no statistically significant difference exists between upstream and downstream temperature at both
downstream locations D 1 and D2.
Downstream DO at location D 1 dropped below 5 mg/L on 26 occasions [per 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (6)]
during the period reviewed. Downstream DO at location D2 dropped below 5 mg/L on 146 occasions
during the period reviewed. Downstream DO at location D1 dropped below 4 mg/L on 5 occasions during
the period reviewed. Downstream DO at location D2 dropped below 4 mg/L on 73 occasions during the
period reviewed. It was concluded that no statistically significant difference exists between upstream and
downstream DO at location D1. However, it was concluded that a statistically significant difference exists
between upstream and downstream DO at location D2. Effluent BOD did not show any spikes and
effluent DO was consistently above 5 mg/L during the period reviewed, suggesting that instream
dissolved oxygen is being influenced by factors outside of the wastewater treatment plant (the receiving
stream is classified as Swamp waters).
It was concluded that a statistically significant difference exists between upstream and downstream
conductivity at location D1 and between upstream and downstream conductivity at location D2. Effluent
conductivity was consistently higher than upstream conductivity during the review period and appears to
be influencing conductivity levels downstream. Instream and effluent conductivity monitoring will
continue to be a permit requirement.

The geometric mean for fecal coliform exceeded 200/100mL upstream of the facility and at both
downstream locations D1 and D2 [per 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (7)] during the period reviewed. Fecal
coliform was reported at levels greater than 400/100ml in more than 20% of samples taken upstream and
at both downstream locations D1 and D2 during the period reviewed. It was concluded that a statistically
significant difference exists between upstream and downstream fecal coliform at location D1 and between
upstream and downstream fecal coliform at location D2. Effluent fecal coliform was consistently lower
than instream fecal coliform, suggesting that the facility's effluent is not negatively impacting fecal
coliform levels in the stream.
The draft permit proposes the removal of monitoring requirements for Downstream Location D1 (NCSR
1612). The Permittee shall continue to conduct monitoring upstream and downstream at NCSR 1108.
Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (YIN): N
Name of Monitoring Coalition: NA
5. Compliance Summary
Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): In 2018, the facility reported
2 fecal coliform limit violations and 1 flow limit violation resulting in enforcement. The facility reported
1 ammonia limit violation and 3 flow limit violations resulting in enforcement in 2019. In 2020, the
facility reported 1 flow limit violation resulting in enforcement.
Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results
(past 5 years): The facility passed 18 of 18 quarterly chronic toxicity tests as well as 4 of 4 second species
toxicity tests from February 2016 to May 2020.
Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The last facility inspection conducted
in June 2019 reported that the facility was compliant.
6. Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs)
Dilution and MixingZones
ones
In accordance with 15A NCAC 213.0206, the following streamflows are used for dilution considerations
for development of WQBELs: 1Q10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic
Life; non -carcinogen HH); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH).
If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMIX model results): NA
If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with I5A NCAC 2B. 0204(b): NA
Oxygen -Consuming Waste Limitations
Limitations for oxygen -consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to
ensure protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits
(e.g., BOD= 30 mg/1 for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and
model results.
Page 4 of 11
If permit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed.- The existing
limitations for BOD5 have been in the permit since at least 1987 and are based on modeling to protect
instream DO. No changes are proposed.
Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations
Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of
1.0 mg/1(summer) and 1.8 mg/1(winter). Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria,
utilizing a multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non -Municipals.
Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection
of aquatic life (17 ug/1) and capped at 28 ug/1(acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values
reported below 50 ug/1 are considered compliant with their permit limit.
Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: The current
permit sets a daily maximum limit of 28 ug/L. TRC limits have been reviewed in the attached WLA and
have been found to be consistent with the results. There are no proposed changes for TRC.
Limitations for ammonia have been in the permit since at least 1987 and are based on modeling to protect
instream DO. The current permit sets monthly average and weekly average limits for ammonia of 5 mg/L
and 15 mg/L, respectively. The ammonia limits have been reviewed in the attached WLA. Based on
instream waste concentration -based calculations, ammonia limits are proposed to be set as monthly
average and weekly average limits of 2.7 mg/L and 8.1 mg/L, respectively.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants
If applicable, conduct RPA analysis and complete information below.
The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality
standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent
effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC
RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero
background; 3) use of detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) streamflows used for dilution
consideration based on 15A NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of
dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of
Instream Dissolved Metals Standards, dated June 10, 2016.
A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between August 2016
through August 2019. Pollutants of concern included toxicants with positive detections and associated
water quality standards/criteria. Based on this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for
this permit:
Effluent Limit with Monitoring. The following parameters will receive a water quality -based
effluent limit (WQBEL) since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable
water quality standards/criteria: Total Copper, Total Zinc
Monitoring Only. The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they
did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria,
but the maximum predicted concentration was >50% of the allowable concentration: NA
No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since
they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality
Page 5 of 11
standards/criteria and the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable
concentration: NA
POTW Effluent Pollutant Scan Review: Three effluent pollutant scans were evaluated for
additional pollutants of concern. (PPAs from 2016, 2017 and 2018)
o The following parameter(s) will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL)
with monitoring, since as part of a limited data set, two samples exceeded the allowable
discharge concentration: N/A
o The following parameter(s) will receive a monitor -only requirement, since as part of a
limited data set, one sample exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: N/A
o The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since they did not
demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria and
the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable concentration: Total
Arsenic, Total Phenolic Compounds, Beryllium, Total Cadmium, Total Chromium, Total
Cyanide, Total Lead, Total Nickel, Total Selenium, Total Silver
The City reported Total Silver and Total Cadmium at less than detection, with a detection level < 5 µg/L
and < 2 µg/L, respectively, in their effluent pollutant scans. The City's chronic allowable discharge
concentration is 0.194 µg/L for Total Silver and 1.903 µg/L for Total Cadmium. DWR's laboratory
identifies the target Practical Quantification Limits (PQL) as 1.0 µg/L for Total Silver and 0.5 µg/L for
Total Cadmium. 15A NCAC 2B .0505 (e) (4) requires that all test procedures must produce detection and
reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements. If no approved methods are capable of
achieving a detection level below the permit discharge requirement (or allowable concentration) the
method with the lowest detection level must be used. The City shall test for Total Silver and Total
Cadmium down to a PQL below the allowable discharge concentration. While no monitoring requirement
has been added to the permit for Total Silver or Total Cadmium at this time, the Division can add a limit
or add limits during the next renewal if this regulation is not satisfied.
If applicable, attach a spreadsheet of the RPA results as well as a copy of the Dissolved Metals
Implementation Fact Sheet for freshwater/saltwater to this Fact Sheet. Include a printout of the RPA
Dissolved to Total Metal Calculator sheet if this is a Municipality with a Pretreatment Program.
Toxici , Testing Limitations
Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in
accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits
issued to Major facilities or any facility discharging "complex" wastewater (contains anything other than
domestic waste) will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements, with several
exceptions. The State has received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in
NPDES permits, using single concentration screening tests, with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test
failure.
Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: The permit requires quarterly chronic toxicity testing at
3 1 % effluent concentration. No changes are proposed.
Mercury Statewide TMDL Evaluation
There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply
with EPA's mercury fish tissue criteria (0.3 mg/kg) for human health protection. The TMDL established a
wasteload allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year (81 lb/year), and is applicable to municipals and
industrial facilities with known mercury discharges. Given the small contribution of mercury from point
Page 6 of 11
sources (-2% of total load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MMPs) for point source
control. Municipal facilities > 2 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury (>1 ng/1) will
receive an MMP requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case -by -case basis, depending if mercury is a
pollutant of concern. Effluent limits may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed
the WQBEL value (based on the NC WQS of 12 ng/1) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL
value of 47 ng/1.

Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: Since an individual mercury sample
exceeded the TBEL, the mercury limit is maintained. A mercury minimization plan (MMP) was
implemented in the current permit. Since the facility is > 2 MGD in design capacity and reported multiple
quantifiable levels of mercury (> 1 ng/1), the mercury minimization plan (MMP) will remain in the
permit.
Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations
If applicable, describe any other TNDDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation
within this permit: NA
Other WQBEL Considerations
If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: NA
If applicable, describe any special actions (HQW or ORW) this receiving stream and classification shall
comply with in order to protect the designated waterbody: NA
If applicable, describe any compliance schedules proposed for this permit renewal in accordance with
15A NCAC 2H 0107(c)(2)(B), 40CFR 122.47, and EPA May 2007 Memo: As total copper demonstrated
reasonable potential to exceed the facility's allowable discharge concentrations based on state surface
water standards, monthly average and daily maximum limits have been put in the permit. After discussing
the limits with the Permittee, the Permittee requested a schedule of compliance to provide time to locate
issues and come into compliance with the new limits. A 3-year compliance schedule has been put in the
permit. Within 1 year of the permit's effective date, the Permittee shall submit to DWR an Action Plan for
Division approval, summarizing the strategy or actions to be taken to achieve compliance with the total
copper limitations. Within 2 years of the permit's effective date, the Permittee shall submit a report to the
Division summarizing actions taken in accordance with the Action Plan. The City shall achieve
compliance with total copper limitations within 3 years of the permit's effective date. The plan will
include specific dates for completion or implementation of each action.
If applicable, describe any water quality standards variances proposed in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.3(e) and 15A NCAC 2B. 0226 for this permit renewal: NA
Page 7 of 11
7. Technology -Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs)
Municipals (if not applicable, delete and skip to Industrials)
Are concentration limits in the permit at least as stringent as secondary treatment requirements (30 mg/l
BODS/TSS for Monthly Average, and 45 mg/l for BODS/TSS for Weekly Average). YES
If NO, provide a justification for alternative limitations (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA
Are 85% removal requirements for BODS/TSS included in the permit? YES; Overall BOD and TSS
removal rates > 85%. It is recommended that the Permiee report to lower detection levels for TSS to
ensure accuracy of percent removal.
If NO, provide a justification (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA
8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge):
The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not
degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation
review in accordance with 15A NCAC 213.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit
must document an effort to consider non -discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.0105( c)(2). In all
cases, existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is
maintained and protected.
If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives
Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: NA
9. Antibacksliding Review:
Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(1) prohibit
backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a
reissued permit to be as stringent as those in the previous permit, with some exceptions where limitations
may be relaxed (e.g., based on new information, increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL
limits, or WQBELs may be less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution).
Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit (YES/NO): NO
If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated: NA
10. Monitoring Requirements
Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following
regulations and guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 213.0500; 2)
NPDES Guidance, Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances (7/15/2010 Memo); 3) NPDES Guidance,
Reduced Monitoring Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance (10/22/2012 Memo); 4) Best
Professional Judgement (BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not
considered effluent limitations under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti -
backsliding prohibitions would not be triggered by reductions in monitoring frequencies.
For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4.
The City of Laurinburg requested monitoring frequency reductions for BOD5, Total Suspended Solids,
NH3-N and Fecal Coliform on February 5, 2019 for their 2020 NPDES permit renewal based on DWR
Page 8 of 11
Guidance Regarding the Reduction of Monitoring Frequencies in NPDES Permits for Exceptionally
Performing Facilities. The last three years of the facility's data for these parameters have been reviewed
in accordance with the criteria outlined in the guidance. The Division has decided to grant the City
2/week monitoring frequency requirements for BOD5, Total Suspended Solids, NH3-N and Fecal
Coliform.
11. Electronic Reporting Requirements
The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21, 2015. Effective
December 21, 2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports
(DMRs) electronically. While NPDES regulated facilities would initially be required to submit additional
NPDES reports electronically effective December 21, 2020, EPA extended this deadline from December
21, 2020, to December 21, 2025. The current compliance date, effective January 4, 2021, was extended as
a final regulation change published in the November 2, 2020 Federal Register This permit contains the
requirements for electronic reporting, consistent with Federal requirements.

Hi Mr. Medlin,
The City will have a 30-day period of time to submit comments on the draft permit once it has gone out to public
comment. The main point I was hoping to address is the compliance schedule for total copper. I cannot put a compliance
schedule in a permit unless requested by a permittee along with some justification, so I just wanted to bring this to your
attention prior to sending the draft out for public comment. If the City does provide a request and justification prior to
my submitting the permit for public comment, I can include a compliance schedule in the draft permit.
Thanks,

Subject: NC0020656 Leith Creek WWTP Proposed Permit Changes
Hi Mr. Medlin,
I hope all is well.
I havejust about finished drafting the renewal NPDES permit NC0020656 for the Leith Creek WWTP and wanted to bring
your attention to some of the changes to be made to the permit:
Based on the reasonable potential analysis (RPA) showing reasonable potential to violate state water quality
standards, total copper and total zinc limits have been added to the permit along with monthly monitoring.
Per the results of instream waste concentration (IWC)-based calculations for ammonia nitrogen, ammonia
nitrogen limits have been revised.
Based on NPDES guidance regarding the reduction of monitoring frequencies in NPDES permits for exceptionally
performing facilities, monitoring requirements for BODS, NH3-N, Total Suspended Solids and Fecal Coliform
have been reduced to twice per week.
The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC Environmental
Management Committee (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA subsequently approved the WQS revisions
on April 6, 2016 with some exceptions. The NC Division of Water Resources NPDES Permitting Unit is required to
implement the new dissolved metal standards in all permits public noticed after April 6, 2016. The new
standards for most metals include acute standards. Further, the freshwater standards for several metals are
expressed as the dissolved form of the metals, and seven metals have hardness -dependent equations. As a
result, the NPDES Permitting Unit will need site -specific effluent hardness data and instream hardness data,
upstream of the discharge, for each facility monitoring these metals in order to calculate permit limitations.
Effluent hardness and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, have been added to the permit at
a monitoring frequency of quarterly.
These changes will also be noted on the cover letter to your draft permit, but I wanted to just make you aware of the
changes ahead of time, in case there were any arrangements you wanted to get ahead of.
Regarding the limits, upon request and justification, Permittees may be granted Schedules of Compliance for newly
added limits in their permits. I bring this up because, while no sample was reported as being detected higher than the
allowable discharge concentration for total zinc, the Leith Creek WWTP did report multiple copper samples detected at
levels higher than the parameter's allowable discharge concentration. If you wish to have a compliance schedule, please
let me know. If you believe you know from where your facility is receiving copper and that you will be able to achieve
compliance with your permit limits upon the effective date of the permit, we can skip the compliance schedule. I do not
believe a compliance schedule would be necessary for total zinc, as the plant did not report values exceeding the
allowable discharge concentration. I also do not believe a compliance schedule would be necessary for the changes to
ammonia limits based on analysis of the last 4.5 years of ammonia data from the Leith Creek WWTP.

NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards - Freshwater Standards
The NC 2007-2015 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA subsequently
approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016, with some exceptions. Therefore, metal limits in draft
permits out to public notice after April 6, 2016 must be calculated to protect the new standards - as
approved.

Only the aquatic life standards listed above are expressed in dissolved form. Aquatic life
standards for Mercury and selenium are still expressed as Total Recoverable Metals due to
bioaccumulative concerns (as are all human health standards for all metals). It is still necessary
to evaluate total recoverable aquatic life and human health standards listed in 15A NCAC
213.0200 (e.g., arsenic at 10 µg/l for human health protection; cyanide at 5 µg/L and fluoride at
1.8 mg/L for aquatic life protection).

General Information on the Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
The RPA process itself did not change as the result of the new metals standards. However, application of
the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the
numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge.
The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream) hardness
and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge.
Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The
discharge -specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA
calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal (more on that
below), but it is also possible to consider case -specific translators developed in accordance with
established methodology.
RPA Permitting Guidance/WOBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater
The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern,
based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based on applicable
standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream.
If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the
discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If
monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e. consistently below
detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit.
1. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the
following information:
• Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10 (the spreadsheet automatically calculates
the 1 Q 10 using the formula 1 Q 10 = 0.843 (s7Q 10, cfs) 0.993
• Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred
• Permitted flow
• Receiving stream classification
In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness -dependent metal of concern and for
each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and instream
(upstream) hardness values to use in the equations.
The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for any
hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for instream
hardness values, upstream of the discharge.
If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation using a
default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)). Minimum and maximum limits on the
hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400 mg/L, respectively.
If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness -dependent metal showing reasonable
potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site -specific effluent and
upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using the new data.
Page 2 of 4
Permit No. NCO020656
The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows:
Combined Hardness (chronic)
_ (Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. Effluent Hardness, mg/L) + (s7Q10, cfs *Avg. Upstream Hardness, mg/L)
(Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q10, cfs)
The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the 1Q10 flow.
3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total recoverable
metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site -specific translators, if any
have been developed using federally approved methodology.
EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved" converts the value for
dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in -stream
ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients
found in The Metals Translator: Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable
Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion (EPA 823-B-96-007, June 1996) and the
equation:
_Cdiss - I
Ctotal I + f [Kpo] [ss(i+a)] [10 6]
Where:
ss = in -stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1], minimum of 10 mg/L used,
and
Kpo and a = constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved
and adsorbed forms of metals. A list of constants used for each hardness -dependent
metal can also be found in the RPA program under a sheet labeled DPCs.
4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition coefficient (or
site -specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions.
In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist (le. silver), the
dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion factor to
obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This method presumes that the metal is
dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria development for metals. For more
information on conversion factors see the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document.
5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable concentration
(permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation:
Ca = (s7Q10 + Qw) (Cwgs) - (s7Q10) (Cb)
Qw
Where: Ca = allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L)
Cwqs = NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria (µg/L or mg/L)
Cb = background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or mg/L)
Qw = permitted effluent flow (cfs, match s7Q10)
s7Q10 = summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human
health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from noncarcinogens (cfs)
* Discussions are on -going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations
Flows other than s7Q10 may be incorporated as applicable:
IQ10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity
Page 3 of 4
Permit No. NC0020656
QA = used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of water,
fish, and shellfish from carcinogens
30Q2 = used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality
The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of concern.
Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date of the permit
application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th percentile upper
concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are compared to the Total
allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary. If the predicted max exceeds
the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations, the discharge is considered to show
reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard, and a permit limit (Total allowable
concentration) is included in the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support
Document for Water Quality -Based Toxics Control published in 1991.
7. When appropriate, permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in accordance
with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to Alexis Strauss on
40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements.
The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and
hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total chromium data
results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical results
based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum concentration (95th %) for
total chromium will be compared against water quality standards for chromium III and
chromium VI.
9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are
inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness -dependent metals to ensure the
accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset.
10. Hardness and flow values used in the Reasonable Potential Analysis for this permit included:
