NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
Subject: Final NPDES Permit
Permit No. NCO020737
Pilot Creek WWTP
Cleveland County
Dear Mr. 011is:
In accordance with the application for a discharge permit received on June 26, 1998, the Division is
forwarding herewith the subject NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina
and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983, and as subsequently amended.
Please note the following changes from the previous permit (as indicated in the draft) have been finalized:
Monitoring frequencies for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus were changed from monthly to
quarterly (per revised 2B .0500 regulations for Broad River Basin).
Toxicity language has been updated.
Limits for cyanide, chromium, and nickel were removed, and monitoring frequencies for these
parameters were reduced from weekly to 2/month (per Division policy for Class IV facilities). Based
on a statistical analysis of past data for the reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards
(Reasonable Potential Analysis), limits for these parameters are not necessary during this permit
cycle.
Mercury Limit and Monitoring
In response to comments in your renewal letter dated June 26, 1998, mercury monitoring could not be
eliminated from this permit. A Reasonable Potential Analysis of mercury data from this facility
demonstrated the potential for a water quality standard violation in the stream, and so a limit is included
for the next permit cycle. The North Carolina water quality standard for mercury is 0.012 µg/1, from
which the daily maximum limit for this facility's flow capacity is derived (0.04 µg/1). We cannot
multiply this number by "10" to obtain a different limit, as the value would not be based on any standard.
Should analysis of mercury data indicate a limit is no longer necessary at the next renewal, the limit may
be removed at that time.
Because the mercury limit for this facility must reflect the water quality standard, this limit cannot be
adjusted because the quantitation limit is higher. Please note, however, that the quantitation limit for
mercury is specified on the effluent page as 0.2 µg/l. If measured levels of mercury are below 0.2 µg/1,
these levels will be considered zero for compliance purposes.
In the past, other North Carolina facilities having problems with unexplained mercury "hits" have begun
taking duplicate and triplicate samples to ensure confidence in the data collected. If multiple samples are
analyzed, the average of those results should be reported. In addition, clean sampling techniques help
reduce risk of sample contamination.

This facility discharges into waters of North Carolina, and therefore the Division must ensure that North
Carolina water quality standards are met at the point of discharge. The water quality standard for
mercury adopted by North Carolina (listed in NCAC T15A: 2B .0200) is established to protect aquatic
life and is based on the chronic effects of this metal. Not only does mercury interfere with healthy
aquatic life, but once it is discharged into the environment, mercury readily forms the compound methyl -
mercury and will accumulate in fish tissue. Humans may consume mercury -contaminated fish and
potentially suffer adverse health effects.
In response to your comments regarding mercury limits in South Carolina, South Carolina's Department
of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) communicated to us that theiraquatic life standards for
mercury in fresh water are 0.012 µg/1 and 2.4 µg/t (protecting for chronic and acute effects, respectively).
Although North Carolina differs in how it assigns mercury monitoring and limits in permits, South
Carolina similarly considers its own standards when imposing any limits on discharges.
At present, over 25 facilities in North Carolina have mercury limits in their NPDES permits. Virtually all
municipalities with pretreatment programs in North Carolina and several industries where mercury is a
pollutant of concern are required to monitor for mercury. There are currently three (3) significant
industrial users (SIUs) that discharge to the Pilot Creek W WTP that possibly have mercury in their waste
flow. This means that mercury is a pollutant of concern at this facility, and monitoring must remain in
the permit; otherwise, no data would exist for the Division to determine whether or not a limit is
necessary in the future.
Summer/Winter Months
The summer and winter month intervals in this permit are established through general statute, based on
temperature trends across the State and are the same for every facility with seasonal differences in
monitoring and/or limits. Since these requirements are adopted by rule, only a legal variance can change
them in your permit. In response to your comment, the month of April is already considered a summer
month in North Carolina NPDES permits.
Also, for future reference, please feel free to cross out Centigrade units and write in Fahrenheit units
when filling out the renewal application. We will consider this change when updating our renewal forms.
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.
Please take note that this permit is not transferable. Part II, E. 4. addresses the requirements to be
followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge. This permit does not affect the legal
requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Land Resources or any
other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this permit, please contactBethany Bolt at (919) 733-

SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A.(2). CHRON�C TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina
Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised November 1995, or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is
33.0% (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring
using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The tests will be performed during the months
of January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted
final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
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,
DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, North Carolina 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 there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the
permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility
name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the
comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited
above.
Should 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 the ermittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly monitoring
P g tY g q � Y
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 Water
Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include
alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism
survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid
test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the
month of the initial monitoring.

OFFICE OF THE
CITY MANAGER
Re: NPDES Permit # NCO020737
The City of Kings Mountain does desire to renew the above
referenced permit for operation of our Pilot Creek WWTP. Our
check for $300 is enclosed, as are all required documents.
This facility is a 6MGD Activated Sludge treatment unit.
Solids handling information is enclosed.
DEM records will show that all fees have been paid for the
year and plant is in compliance with all permit requirements,
except for an on -going mercury situation, which we are at
present waiting for notification of schedualing to appear
before the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions.
Due to several primary considerations, we feel the Mercury
limit is unreasonable, and request it be eliminated entirely.
Reason number one, which may no longer be a true statement;
At the time this limit was added to our permit, it was only
applied to three plants in the state. Why? And - Why Us?
Number two, Any time a limit is set below detection limit, a
situation is set up whereby no sample can be guaranteed to
supply repeatable results. This is asking for trouble. Number
three, We are only some seven "stream miles" up -stream from
the South Carolina state line, below which there is no limit
or requirement to even sample for Mercury, the last time I
talked to operators from S.C. Who are we protecting?
If this limit can't be removed, would it be possible to
remove the 0 after the decimal and make the limit 0.4? This
is within present detection limits and would eliminate most
questionable calls, and truthfully, most of our problems. It
should be remembered that we are talking parts per billion,
so the limit, as set, is the equivalent of one cent in twenty
five million dollars.
The Historical City

One other change I hesitate to request as it will create
additional work for us, is in the winter/summer break down in
the permit. After looking at several years of monthly DMR's,
I believe the month of April should be included in the Summer
portion as opposed to the Winter portion, based on historical
temperatures.
Along this line, DMR's require temperature in Centigrade
units, renewal forms in Fahrenheit units. This causes extra
work. Is the necessary?
Thank you for your consideration in the above matters. If
you need additional information, please call [phone].

SOLIDS MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR PILOT CREEK WWTP, KINGS MOUNTAIN
The solids management plan of the City of Kings Mountain
begins with our pretreatment program. One of the primary
benefits of this program has been a better understanding of
what our industries are sending us, thus some control over
same. This has resulted in our seeing major improvement in
the quality of our sludge, especially the metals content. In
the beginning this created added expense for our textile
plants, since they had to change dyes, methods, and re-train
employeesi The long term result has been cost savings, due to
the volumes of dyes, and especially salt, being lowered and,
in many iinstances, dye water being re -usable for additional
colors.
Sludge is',pumped from our clarifiers to Aerobic digestors
where it is retained for up to twenty days, depending on
plant operational needs, and is kept in an aerobic state by
continuous aeration. This also serves to increase the solids
content, thus making our belt -press operate more efficiently.
Solids leave the digestors through a "muffin monster", then
are pumped to the 2.2 meter press. Polymer is added as
required,iin the piping. Sludge leaves the belt -press at an
average of 18% solids, and is then stored on old drying beds
which we have paved for this purpose. Beds are covered during
rainy weather.
Final disposal is by land application, which is contracted
to Southern Soil Builders, Inc., and is accomplished as
volume requires.
See attached spill control plan for trucked solids.

SPILL CONTROL PLAN - TOWN OF KINGS MOUNTAIN
CLEVELAND COUNTY
In the unlikely event o a spill, the following action shall be taken immediately:
l . Halt source of the spill - overturned truck, leaking valve, ruptured tank.
2. Contain spill. Use straw bales to form a barrier. In addition to straw bales, use shovels to
form an earthen barrier to augment straw bales.
3. Cleanup. Employ vacuum equipment to remove as much spill material as possible. Complete
clean-up by scattering straw from straw bales, soaking up remaining materials. Pick up straw
manually, and dispose in landfill.
4. Final cleanup. Flush roadways with water as necessary to clean. Allow to dry and
incorporate if spill occurs on a non -paved and tillable area. In the event a spill occurs on
private, property, final cleanup should be completed immediately to the satisfaction of the
owner.

�,� S�i dlwo i Q n
G. The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxici y two consecuti toxicity
tests, using test procedures outlined in: ►� )1,� c� ro
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic D ; 4
Bioassay Procedure -Revised *June 1988) or subsequent versions. ;
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 33% (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 issuance of this
permit during the months of January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing
shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
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
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
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 reopened 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.

H. Mercury Detection Condition
If the measurement of this param r js below detection limits, the quantity for the purposes of
compliance evaluation is considere to be zero. The detection limit for this parameter shall be
considered 0.2 ug/l. It should be rep ed on the D IMR to be <0.2 ug/l.
to old �� ell

ISSUE: Total Residual Chlorine Limit
RESPONSE: In accordance with Division policy, all expanding dischargers are required
to meet, at a minimum, a total residual chlorine limit of 28.0 ug/1, this
requirement therefore cannot be deleted from the permit
ISSUE: Monitoring Requirements for Zinc, Chloride, Fluoride and Copper.
RESPONSE: The Division agrees to reduce the monitoring of these constituents to
2/month, this frequency is in agreement with current DEM policy regarding
metals, toxics and organics monitoring.
ISSUE: Deletion of the Monitoring Requirement for Silver.
RESPONSE: Given King Mountain's past history of silver monitoring and it's current
Long Term Monitoring Plan, the Division agrees to remove silver
monitoring from the permit.

that the Mercury limits be changed from 0.04 ug/1 to 0.4 ug/1, and the month of April be included
in the summer effluent limits and monitoring requirements instead of being in the winter.
The proposed modification request needs to be addressed; however, we see no reason to
allow the modifications.
Upon resolution of the subject modifications requests, it is recommended that the permit
be renewed.

6/26 Received application.
Permittee would like Mercury limit changed to 0.4 µg/l, April to be included in the
summer limits, and Temperature units consistent between DMR's and the renewal form.
7/1 CW acknowledged
7/14 Called MRO about issues application
i in a lication letter. Samar will call Mr. 011is.
Receiving Stream: Buffalo Creek Index #: 9-53-(5) 8/3/92 C
From dam at Kings Mountain Reservoir to NC/SC State line.
No compliance violations in the last two years.
DMR's: TRC —all values for 1/98 = <1000 µg/l
Instream monitoring OK
Toxicity fads — 7/96, 7/97, 1/98 (NOV sent), 4/98, 5/98
WLA: JMN 7/ 12/93
3/30/94 Facility requested monitoring frequency reduction for chloride, fluoride, copper, and
zinc from weekly to monthly. IAU concurred with this request, but RO wanted
monitoring frequency of 2/month in the permit due to lack of data.
Request RO comment on removing zinc monitoring. Action Level = 50
Allowable = 151.5 Max predicted = 0.36 µg/1
CF Notes / history:
5/9/91 Monthly monitoring of Mercury was granted the facility after they requested it.
10/6/92 Mr. 011is requests variance from 85% removal requirement for TSS
3/10/93 Mike Parker is OK with 70% TSS removal variance; removal should be changed back if
influent returns to more typical values. Low influent values are not caused by I&I.
4/1/93 JMN recommends monthly monitoring for Mercury.
10/7/97 Compliance inspection — effluent rated unsatisfactory, discharge was red in color.
10/14/97 NOV/Recommendation of enforcement sent for mercury, lead, nickel, chromium,
cyanide, and tox violations. Facility to respond by 10/31. Permit should be modified to
4.0 MGD if the facility does not fix aeration basin #3.
RO: Is aeration basin #3 back in service?
2/24/98 NOV sent for tox fail 1/98
3/12/98 F icility responded to NOV requesting remission.
3/24/98 R quest placed on the Directors agenda for the next enforcement conference.
Averages TSS values for January to May 1998
Influent TSS - 76, 74, 77, 90.3, 82.3 mg/1
Effluent TSS - 24.9, 20.2, 26.5, 26.6, 23.7 mg/I
Medium strength influent = 220 mg/1(Metcalf & Eddy)
Will leave the TSS variance in the permit.

Instream monitoring
Facility has'DO, Temp, Fecal, and conductivity required in permit.
They are also monitoring for pH, Cyanide, Mercury, Nickel, and Lead. The facility was told to
do ,this for three months in a letter from Rex Gleason to the City Manager (10/16/97).
Request RO comment on whether or not this is still required.
Downstream hits (µg/1) Effluent (µg/1)
