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.

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/WQBELs 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:
Page 5 of 8
• 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 I0, CfS) 0.993
• Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred
• Permitted flow
• Receiving stream classification
2. 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.
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) x (s7Q10, cfs *Avg. Upstream
Hardness, m_/g_L)
(Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q 10, cfs)
The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the IQ 10
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.
Page 6 of 8
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 + { [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
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
(ie. 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 s7Q 10 may be incorporated as applicable:
IQ 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity
Page 7 of 8
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
6. 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.
8. 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

ATC SUMMARY
SCOPE
Dana -Hill Retirement Community
Henderson County, NC
ATC No. 073393AOI
UT Devils Fork, C
French Broad River Basin, 040302
Henderson County
The scope of the project includes the addition of flow splitting to split flow between previously
approved 0.02 MGD plant and refurbished (and previously approved) 0.01 MGD plant. Both plants
are full package plants with tablet chlorination. This addition also includes a dechlorination basin
and composite effluent sampling.
REVIEW SUMMARY
Executive Summary
The subject facility received an NPDES renewal permit November 8, 2000. This facility also
received an ATC for a 0.02 MGD package plant February 18, 1999 with the stipulation that if the
0.01 MGD plant were to be used - flow proportioning between the plants must be provided. This
ATC includes the flow proportioning, along with dechlorination and effluent composite sampling.
Application/Plans Prepared by:
Jon H. Laughter, P.E.
Laughter, Austin, and Associates, P.A.
131 Fourth Avenue East
Hendersonville, NC 28792
Project Location:
Henderson County
Review Notes: The existing splitter box in the 0.02 MGD plant will be used to split flow to the 0.02
MGD plant and the refurbished 0.01 MGD plant. Both package plants have tablet chlorination
with 30 minute contact time. With this ATC, the permittee is being proactive and adding a 500
gallon baffled chamber for dechlorination (tablet). Effluent sampling is shown at the beginning of
dechlor chamber - this should be placed at the end of the chamber.
This ATC will increase the permitted flow to 0.03 MGD (for which it is permitted).
Mr. Roy Davis, ARO, strongly recommends issuance. Although the plans are somewhat inadequate
- he has spoken with the operator and assures me that the operator will make this work properly.
Due to this and the minimal requirements for this ATC, I will issue it. The facility is being
proactive with dechlorination. The plans indicated effluent sampling at the beginning of
dechlorination. I will state that effluent sampling should be conducted at the end of the
dechlorination basin.

Request for Authorization to Construct
Henderson County
I am writing this in response to your June 8, 2004 memorandum and
attached March 23, 2004 request for Authorization to Construct from Jon
Laughter. The request is seeking permission to construct appurtenances
necessary to reactivate a 10,000 gpd package plant to be operated in
parallel with a 20,000 gpd plant currently in operation. Specifically Jon
Laughter proposes to construct a tube type effluent dechlorination
system, relocate the recording flow meter, install a composite sampler
and modify an existing influent flow splitter to serve both plants.
On July 7, 2004 I visited the plant in the company of the owner and ORC.
I recommend that you issue the requested Authorization to Construct based
on the information we currently have in our hands. I have confidence that
the ORC can take the plans and modify the Dana -Hill sewage treatment
plant in such a way that it will work quite satisfactorily. As always, I
would enjoy the opportunity to talk to you if we need to discuss this
matter further.

Roy:
Two AtC permits have been issued for the Dana -hill WWTP (NC0073393).
0073393AC was issued on January 9, 1990, for the original 0.01 MGD -plant. Jon
Laughter submitted a completion certification for it on August 19, 2002.
073393ACB was issued on February 18, 1999, for a new 0.02 MGD plant. No completion
certification was submitted, though Laughter did say that the plant was "in service"
in the letter accompanying the certification for 0073393AC.
Permit 073393ACB states that another AtC "for flow -proportioning facilities must be
requested" before the Permittee can operate the two treatment trains together [for a
total capacity of 0.03 MGD]. There's no record that the owner (Vito Montaperto),
the engineer (Laughter) or their contract operator (Harry James of James & James)
has ever requested such an AtC. Vito called me in November asking for proof we had
received the completion certificate for the 0.01 MGD plant; I faxed it to him.
Laughter called me in December asking for the same thing; I faxed it to him. You
asked for it last month - I faxed it to you.
Larry James called yesterday, and I fared it to him.
It sounds from your message that what they really wanted was an AtC for operating
both plants together, and we have NO RECORD THATfANYONE EVER REQUESTED IT. Further,
if any of the parties involved has asked me for "approval to operate both plants", I
could have researched the problem long ago. however, I received a succession of
calls asking for approval "to use the 10,000-gallon plant", which I provided. Thus
my confusion and extreme frustration, and thus our current problem.
If they want to operate the 0.01 MGD train, they can.
If they want to operate the 0.02 MGD train, they can.
If they want to operate the two trains together, they must request an AtC and show
how flow will be proportioned among the two trains.
I recommend they contact Susan Wilson or Mike Templeton in our Unit for advice on
preparing the AtC request. I don't issue AtCs and could offer little help.

To: Charles Weaver <Charles.Weaver cr ncmail.net>
Several weeks ago I heard through the grape vine that an A to C had been
issued to Dana Hill Retirement Community (NC0073393) for flow
equalization, piping and relocation of disinfection and flow measurement
to allow the- utilization of a pr_esently out-o-f-usa 10, 000 gpd WWT.P in
conjunction with an existing 20,000 gpd currently -in -use WWTP. I left
you a voice mail message asking that you send me a copy of the A to C.
You faxed me a copy of the 1990 Engineer's Certification relating to the
original construction of the 10,000 gpd WWTP. A review of ARG filed
does not produce a copy of an A to C for the necessary improvements to
operate the two preatment plants in parallel. In my dealings with the
owners and their consulting engineer that will be my position. If I am
wrong please I -et me know before I start sawing on this limb I am sitting
on. 'Thanks, Ray Davis

At present, a 20,000 GPD (0.02 MGD) WWTP under NCDENR ATC073393ACB is in-
service. An existing permitted 10,000 GPD (0.01 MGD) WWTP which has been
disconnected from service in the past, has recently undergone a complete re -conditioning.
Mr. Montaperto intends to put this permitted plant back into service along with the 20,000
gpd plant to expand his treatment capacity. This would provide a total treatment capacity
of 30,000 gpd. This combination of the two plants will provide flow proportioning of the

SUBJECT: Approval to perform timed composite sampling
Permit No. NCO073393
Dana Hill WWTP
Henderson County
Dear Permittee:
The Dana Hill wastewater treatment plant is granted permission to perform constant time/constant volume
composite sampling as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0503 (4)(d) for permit reporting requirements in lieu of
flow -proportional sampling as requested. This permission is allowable because this facility has a design flow less
than or equal to 30,000 gallons/day and under that condition according to 15A NCAC 02B .0505 (c)(3)(113): The
Director may specify the methods of sample collection as to type of sample and type of composite sampling
required.
This approval is contingent upon your composite sampling consisting of aliquots of at least 100ml collected with
intervals not to exceed 20 minutes between aliquots. The Division reserves the right to change the method of
composite sampling again if we find reason to believe that this timed composite method is not producing
representative samples.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Daniel Boss with the Water Quality
Regional Operations Section in the Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-4500.
Sincerely,

Henderson County
Dear Mr. Montaperto:
The North Carolina Division of Water Resources conducted a follow-up inspection of the Dana Hill WWTP on
7/07/2020. The blower belts now have guards over them and therefore are no longer a safety hazard. Timed
composite sampling is now allowed for this facility and so it may continue utilizing this method.
NOV-2019-PC-0625 has now been closed, since these corrections have been made.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Daniel Boss with the Water
Quality Regional Operations Section in the Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-4500 or via email at
daniel.boss@ncdenr.gov.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Montaperto:
Thank you for your reply concerning justification for maintaining
a permitted flow of 42,000 gallons per day. It is currently proposed
that your renewed permit have separate effluent limitations pages for
10,000 gallons per day and for 42,000 gallons per day. As we
discussed by telephone, additional treatment facilities for continuous
flow measurement, dechlorination, and ammonia reduction, as well as
for treatment capacity will be necessary for expansion.
As per our conversation, you were given the choice of selecting a
numerical ammonia limit or a toxicity testing requirement to add to
your NPDES Permit for the 10,000 gallon per day effluent limitations
page. This letter confirms that you have selected the ammonia limits
of 11 mg/l summer and 32 mg/1 winter.
By copy of this letter, I am also informing our Technical
Services Support Group in Raleigh of your choice so that they may make
the appropriate change to your permit.

At last renewal permittee requested modification to lower design flow to 0.01 MGD and chose
NH3N limits over WET test requirement. NH3N and Residual Chlorine limits were added to
0.042 MGD as new flow. All strearnflows are up to date with current USGS methods, and all
permit limits are up to date with current Division Procedures. Permit should be renewed
with existing limits. Renewal could have been streamlined. Facility's recent compliance
record has been poor with 3 monthly avg. BOD violations, 6 TSS viola ' ns and 2 NH3N
violations from 9/94 to 2/95.
