Hudson Water Resources Director P.O. Boot 1111 Statesville, North Carolina Dear Mir. Hudson: Michael F. Easley ©D � Governor NRWilliam G. Ross, Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources KerrT. Stevens, Director Division of Water Quality 28687 January 29, 2001 Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO020591 Third Creek WWTP Iredell County Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge 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 May 9,1994 (or as subsequently amended). The following changes were made to the final permit in response to your comment letter of December 19, 2000: ➢ The limits for Lead, Chromium, and Nickel have been deleted. Reasonable Potential Analyses indicated that the maximum predicted levels for these parameters were less than the allowable concentrations. Therefore, fin -its for these parameters are no longer necessary. ➢ Instream monitoring of Fecal Coliform and Conductivity has been deleted. ➢ . The daily max limit for Cadmium was revised from 12.8 to 15 µg/1 as per current Division policy. ➢ The daily max limit for Cyanide was revised from 51.6 to 22 µg/1 as per current Division policy. ➢ Monitoring for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus has been changed to weekly. The results of this additional monitoring will be used in the development of a nutrient management strategy for the Yadkin River Basin. ➢ The limits for ammonia nitrogen were inadvertently changed in the draft permit. We apologize for this mistake and have reinstated your previous limits. If any parts,.measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the tight 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 (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, taus decision shall be final and binding. Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.

Permit. N00020591 . A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly) The effluerat discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction of significant mortality to Cniodaphniui dubia at an effluent concentration of 39%. The permits holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Geriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Camolina Phase II Chronic %X-1ole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July+and October. Effluent saunpling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit Emit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described inn "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, ewxposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina.Phase 11 Chronic \thole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition voll be entered on the Effluent Discharge itlonitoring Form (11R-1) for the months in which tests wc*re perfoxrmed, using the.parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, D%t'Q Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Branch. 1621 [ail Senice Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be tiled with the Em-ironmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after tdic end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data s1hall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentratuon/response data, and be certified by laboratory supen-issor and 4RC or approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should thecae be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee %ill 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 monthilyear 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 the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during the following month. 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 immmdiate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Alternative Analysis Evaluation: N/A PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The permittee, City of Statesville, has applied for permit renewal. The WWTP serves the Third Creek basin of the city. The WWTP appears to be adequate to meet all existing effluent limits and is well maintained and operated. The subject WWTP is a member of the Yadkin Pee - Dee River Basin Association. As a member, all instream monitoring is conducted by the association. However, influent and effluent sampling remains under the control of the WWTP facility. This office has received multiple complaints regarding the colored effluent from this WWTP. Jeff Carty (ORC) stated that the color is primarily attributable to MoCaro Dyeing and Finishing. MoCaro contributes approximately 500,000 gallons of wastewater per day to the plant (25% of the total daily load). The effluent color varies from deep red to purple and noticeably tints Third Creek for several miles downstream. However, there is very little public exposure downstream as the stream is surrounded by farmland and undeveloped woodlands. Most of the complaints have come from observations at road crossings. If quantitative color standards are ever adopted, the effluent from this plant would need to be reviewed. It is recommended that the NPDES permit be. renewed as requested. lV Signature of Report Preparer Date Water Quality ReO6nal Supervisor Date h:kNipde 3rdcrk.dsr enVvtNONbigtv'd', HEAI.'rh * iNATQRAL R�BOC7RCln DEC 12 2000 J^ DENR/DWQ -�,I^ ��pry� (� Fr -CT SHEET FOR NPDES PER�EV1 VP.'1 >gtlfSlop OF elYlpl4iHWt YAIg6Empi NPDES No. NC002 591� +�a RISVII REWAL yet W.Nr sou,:c= �sa:v;cH le M Facility Information Facility Name: City of Statesville Permitted Flow: 4.0 MGD County: Iredell Facility Class: IV Regional Office: Mooresville Facility/Permit Status: (i.e. New, Modification, Existing or Renewal) Existing USGS Topo Quad: E15NE Stream Characteristics Receiving Stream: Third Creek Stream Classification: C Winter 7Q10 (cfs): 17 Subbasin: 03-07-06 30Q2 (cfs): 21 Drainage Area (mi2): 55 Average Flow (cfs): 56 Summer 7Q10 (cfs) 9.8 IWC M: 39 Changes Incorporated into Permit Renewal Proposed Changes Parameters Affected Basis for change(s) Effluent Limitations and Deleted limits for lead, RPA indicates that limits for Monitoring Requirements chromium, and nickel these parameters are no longer Page necessary.

The following notes were taken during the review of the application package: ➢ Review of Basin Plan: Fecal coliform levels in Third and Fourth Creeks are high upstream of Statesville's dischargers, indicating that non -point source runoff contamination is the probable source although several small facilities in the subbasin show occasional violations. The two largest of these major facilities are Statesville's third and Fourth Creek WWTPs. No instream DO violations were reported by Statesville's Fourth Creek WWTP in its self monitoring reports during 1992-1996. There is, however, a measurable decrease in DO concentrations below the discharge. DWQ intends to develop NPS management strategies for this waterbody for the second Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin Plan. In addition, local efforts are needed to develop a plan to reduce non -point source pollution. ➢ 303(d) List Review Not reported on 303d List DENR/DWQ FACT SHEET FOR NPDES PERMIT DEVELOPMENT NPDES No. NCO020591 (Continued) ➢ Reasonable Potential Analysis: A reasonable potential analysis was performed using the most recent DMR data. The results of the analysis are attached to this document. In summary, - Cadmium The maximum predicted concentration was determined to be greater than the allowable concentration. Therefore, a limit of 5.2 µg/l was be included in the renewal. - Cyanide The maximum predicted concentration was determined to be greater than the allowable concentration. Therefore, a limit of 12.9 µg/1 was be included in the renewal. Lead The maximum predicted concentration was determined to be less than the allowable concentration. Therefore, no limit will be included in the renewal. - Nickel The maximum predicted concentration was determined to be less than the allowable concentration. Therefore, no limit will be included in the renewal. - Selenium The maximum predicted concentration was determined to be less than the allowable concentration. Therefore, no limit will be included in the renewal. - Chromium The maximum predicted concentration was determined to be less than the allowable concentration. Therefore, no limit will be included in the renewal. - Copper Monitoring only for copper will be included in the permit. This parameter has an action level of 7 µg/l. - Mercury The maximum predicted concentration was determined to be less than the allowable concentration. Therefore, no limit will be included in the renewal. One hit was thrown out as error. The rest were all below detection. - Zinc Monitoring only for zinc will be included in the permit. This parameter has an action level of 50 µg/l. - Silver Monitoring only for zinc will be included in the permit. This parameter has an action level of.56gg/1. o .Otn The facility joined the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin Association in June of 1998. Therefore, the established instream monitoring requirements will be waived until the facility chooses to terminate its membership with the association. DENR/DWQ FACT SHEET FOR NPDES PERMIT DEVELOPMENT NPDES No. NCO020591 (Continued) Facility appears to be operating within the constraints of their current permit based on a review of past DMR data. Toxicity test results were pass for 1998 and January and April of 1999. WLA Review: The most recent WLA was prepared in April 1994. Limits were determined to be water quality limited and instream monitoring was recommended for DO, Fecal Coliform, Temperature, and Conductivity. In addition, the following metals monitoring requirements were recommended: Cadmium weekly average limit of 5.2 µg/l , Cyanide weekly average limit of 12.9 µg/l; Nickel weekly average limit of 227.1 µg/l, lead weekly average limit of 64.5 µg/l, ,and Chromium weekly average limit of 129 µg/1. In addition, monitoring was recommended for Selenium, Copper, Zinc, Chlorides, MBA,S, and Silver. ➢ ATC Issued Authorization was granted for the construction of two (2) belt presses with feed pumps, polymer system and wash water pumps to replace the existing dissolved air flotation (DAF) thickener. This ATC was issued January 30, 1997; ➢ Staff Report Review Most 'recent staff report was prepared in February of 1999. The WWPT appears to be adequate to meet all existing effluent limits and is well maintained and operated. The subject WWTP is a member of the Yadkin - Pee Dee River Basin Association. As a member, all instream monitoring is conducted by the association. However, influent and effluent sampling remains under the control of the WWTP facility. Region recommends that the permit be renewed as requested.

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 39% (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 January, April, July, 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 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. I i / JQ likatt's milt V. (1).

Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 Re: NPDES Permit Renewal Applications Third Creek WWTP Permit #NC0020591 Fourth Creek WWTP Permit #NC0031836 Dear Mr. Goodrich: On January 15, 1999, the City of Statesville submitted a renewal application for the NPDES permits for our Third and Fourth Creek Plants. Please accept this letter as an addendum to that application. We would like to present some additional information which we feel is relevant, but was not included in our original application. This letter is submitted at the urging of DENR representatives. .,n W 0 We are aware of the monitoring data review conducted by your unit during the "Reasonable Potential Analysis." However, we would like to draw your attention to the following results (Table 1). We would appreciate your consideration on reducing the monitoring frequency or eliminating these parameters from the new permit. Table 1: Daily Monitoring Reports (DMR) review for the past 3 years.

Detected 2 times -no violations Page 2 David Goodrich 3`a & e Permit Renewals February 4, 1999 We expect to see continued reductions in these and other metals discharges due to our participation in EPA's Common Sense Initiative (CSI). The City of Statesville signed onto this voluntary initiative as a participating municipality in March 1998. In this role, our pretreatment industries have worked with DENR representatives (from the Divisions of Water Quality, Waste Management, and Pollution Prevention) and the local metal finishing community. Under the CSI, we grant regulatory flexibility in our local pretreatment regulations in exchange for reductions in discharges from the local metal finishers. To date we have four of eleven metal finishers signed on to this program and hope to increase this number in the near future. Should you have additional questions about specific monitoring data, please call me at (704) 878-3438. If you have questions about our involvement in the Common Sense Initiative please call Greg Newman or Terry Albrecht at the Division of Pollution Prevention at (919) 715-6500.

To manage these residuals, the biosolids management policy is to process two-thirds of all residuals produced through the NViro process per Distribution Permit number WQ0006245 and land apply the remaining one-third through a contract operation. The contract for land application was signed on August 19, 1998 and the contractor is in the process of obtaining the land application permits. The City also holds Land Application permit number WQ0014543 which will only be used as a back-up method of residuals disposal. At this time, no residuals have been land applied. All residuals are being processed through NViro. The Third Creek WWTP processes an average wastewater flow of 2.0 million gallons per day. After conventional processing through an activated sludge operation, sludge is aerobically digested and then dewatered using a belt filter press. The press cake is transported to the Fourth Creek Residuals Facility and is blended with biosolids from Fourth Creek and dewatered alum sludge from the water plant. The blended material is stabilized using the NViro process per Distribution Permit number WQ0006245. After the contractor has obtained the land application permits, we will begin land applying one- third of all residuals produced. _ MH PLANT INFLUENT FLOW BAR SCREENS METER r I 00000oo I w1 0 TRUCK TO BELT PRESSES STALIME I TREATMENT rDIGESTED _ P FACILITIES SLUDGE AERATORS PUMPS 0 SLUDGE DIGESTER V EFFLUENT DRAWING NO. 1371R1001 L_gym. am n _ .
