HomeMy WebLinkAboutNC0087556_Fact Sheet_20210104FACT 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:
The Ledgestone Subdivision WWTP operates a WWTP with a permitted wastewater
discharge of 0.027 MGD. Treatment consists of an extended aeration basin, chlorine
contact basin, and dechlorination. The facility generates a continuous discharge.
Section 2. Compliance History (August 2015 — October 2020):
• 1 NOV for BOD daily max exceedance
• 2 CPAs for BOD frequency violations
• 2 NOVs for TRC frequency violations
• 2 CPAs for fecal coliform frequency violations
• 2 NOVs for flow frequency violations
• 2 NOVs for pH frequency violations
• 2 CPAs for TSS frequency violations
• 2 NOVs for late/missing DMRs
Section 3. Chanl4es from previous permit to draft:
• Updated eDMR footnote inA(1) and language in A(2)
• Updated outfall map
• Added facility grade in A(1)
• Updated language on the Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet
• Added instreammonitoring for fecal coliform with associated footnote in A(1)
per ARO request (concerns about levels in the creek)
Section 4. Changes from draft to final:
• Deadline of 30 days added for instream sampling location approval in A(1) per
ARO request
• Outfall map and coordinates updated based on ARO comments
Section 5. Comments received on draft permit:
• Linda Wiggs (ARO; via email 11/9/2020): The map in that draft is incorrect, see
attached for correct location. The map in the draft is showing where the Tyco
discharge is located, not the Ledgestone. There are several dischargers close to
each other in this short stretch of the river. Note: my terrain navigator is used as a
working document, so ignore the bit of the coordinates you see at the top of the
image. I don't like the way the components read, but I see it is because James and
James did a poor job of filling out the renewal application for their client
Ledgestone; and again they put the subdivision as the operation firm instead of
J&J. Whatever, doubt it is worth the effort to get them to correct it. I do not need
to approve all of these U/D; I think you can put the standard language in there for
U/D.... isn't it something like —100 feet upstream and —200 feet downstream of
the discharge pipe is fine with me.
o DWR response: If I'm seeing this correctly, you're saying the discharge
needs to be moved slightly further north than where it is at right now? Do
you have the accurate outfall coordinates? I based the map off of what was
in BIMS, so if those are wrong we need to make sure the correct ones are
in there. Concerning the components, I didn't change those at all (that is
what was listed in the previous permit). Does something here need to
change? And for the U/D, if there are discharges so close together, would
100ft/200ft not be impacted by other discharges?
o Linda Wiggs response (via email 11/17/2020): Topographic map with
coordinates sent. I just don't like that there are no clarifiers listed, but it
can be assumed with an extended aeration system there are clarifiers. The
next downstream outfall is —700' away.
• Linda Wiggs (ARO; via call 11/18/2020): Can a deadline be added for approving
instream sampling locations? Also, it is fine to keep the footnote as is.
o DWR response: A deadline of 30 days will be added. The rest of the
language about instream approval will remain the same.
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:
• Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q 10 (the spreadsheet
automatically calculates the IQ 10 using the formula IQ 10 = 0.843
(s7Q 10, 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 (s7Q 10, cfs *Avg. Upstream
Hardness, mjg/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.
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 = 1
Ctotal 1 + { [Kpo] [SS(l+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 = (s7Q 10 + Qw)(Cwgs) — (s7Q 10) (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 s7Q 10)
s7Q 10 = 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
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.

The map in that draft is incorrect, see attached for correct location. The map in the draft is showing where the Tyco

I do not need to approve all of these U/D; I think you can put the standard language in there for U/D,,,, isn't it
something like —100 feet upstream and —200 feet downstream of the discharge pipe is fine with me.
