NC0024431_Fact Sheet_20201201

FACT SHEET FOR EXPEDITED PERMIT RENEWALS
This form must be completed by Permit Writers for all expedited permits which do not require
full Fact Sheets. Expedited permits are generally simple 100% domestics (e.g., schools, mobile
home parks, etc) that can be administratively renewed with minor changes, but can include
facilities with more complex issues (Special Conditions, 303(d) listed water, toxicity testing,
instream monitoring, compliance concerns).

Section 1. Facility Overview:
Kanuga Conferences, Inc. operates a septic tank and filter system WWTP with a current
permitted flow of 0.035 MGD. The WWTP is for a conference center that serves 100
employees and has a 70 room hotel, 39 cottages, 6 guest houses, and 1 large kitchen
(seating up to 400 people). At full capacity, the maximum occupancy is 375 people
served. Treatment incudes a 17,615 gallon septic tank; 4,000 gallon dosing tank with
plural siphons; dump counter; four (4) 2,500 square foot sand filter beds that dose
alternately; table chlorination system; 8,000 gallon chlorine contact basin; 18,000 gallon
chlorine dissipation/polishing pond; and tablet dichlorination system. The facility
generates a continuous discharge. The maximum, monthly average discharge between
September 2015 and August 2020 was approximately 0.0224 MGD.
Per the permit renewal application, the sand in the filtration pits was removed and
renewed in July 2018, and the solids tank was pumped as recent as October 2019 and
disposed of at the Hendersonville sewage facility.
Page 1 of 7

With the renewal application, the permittee requested to reduce their permitted flow from
0.035 MGD to 0.030 MGD. The facility is capable of the higher limit but it is not utilized
to full capacity, and the facility currently has no plans to expand or build any structures
that would add usage to this system. The permittee has made this request so that they may
stop composite sampling and switch to grab sampling. The Asheville Regional Office
concurred with allowing the reduced permitted flow (via email 6/4/2020).
Section 2. Compliance History (September 2015 — October 2020):
• 1 NOV for BOD daily max exceedance
• 1 NOV for BOD monthly avg exceedance
• 1 NOV for fecal coliform daily max exceedance
• 1 NOV for ammonia nitrogen monthly avg exceedance
• 6 NOVs for TRC frequency violations (5 from April 2019)
• 30 NOVs for flow frequency violations (all from April 2019)
• 4 NOVs for temperature frequency violations (all from April 2019)
• 1 NOV for unspecified permit conditions violation (from September 2018)
• 1 NOV for late/missing DMR (from April 2019)
Section 3. Chances from previous permit to draft:
• Updated eDMR footnote in A(1) and language in A(2)
• Updated outfall map
• Added facility grade in A(1)
• Updated receiving stream characteristics on the Supplement to Permit Cover
Sheet
• Permitted flow in A(1) reduced from 0.035 MGD to 0.030 MGD
o No other associated limit changes were necessary per WLA
• Sample type for BOD, TSS, and ammonia nitrogen changed from composite to
grab per 15A NCAC 02B .0505(c) with flow reduction

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 4 of 7

• 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 5 of 7

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 6 of 7

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

Good Morning,
NPDES Permit Renewal Application
Kanuga Conferences WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO024431 Raleigh, NC
Please find in the enclosed packet containing Kanuga's request for renewal of wastewater permit
NC0024431.
The only changes since the last issued permit was the removal and renewal of sand in the filtration pits
in July of 2018. Additionally, our solids tank was pumped as recent as October 2019 and disposed of at
the Hendersonville sewage facility.
Please also find this as our request to lower our permit from 0.035 to 0.030 MGD. While our facility is
capable of the higher limit, we do not utilize it to full capacity. Kanuga currently has no plans to expand
or build any structures that would add usage to this system. Additionally, with our daily average flow of
0.0112 MGD and our maximum daily flow over the past three years of 0.30 MGD this seems like a
reasonable request. Kanuga currently is leasing a composite sampler to maintain our compliant status.
By allowing a lower permit this would save our nonprofit organization $2400.00 annually.
Feel free to reach out with any questions
