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). Basic Information for Expedited Permit Renewals Permit Writer / Date Brianna Young 1 /4/2021 Permit Number NCO087556 Facility Name / Facility Class Led estone Subdivision WWTP / W W-2 Basin Name / Sub -basin number French Broad / 04-03-02 Receiving Stream / HUC Cane Creek / 060101050701 Stream Classification / Stream Segment C; Tr / 6-57- 1 Does permit need Daily Maximum NH3 limits? Monitoring with no limits already present Does permit need TRC limits/language? Already resent Does permit have toxicity testing? IWC (%) if so No Does permit have Special Conditions? No Does permit have instream monitoring? No Is the stream impaired on 303 d list)? No Any obvious compliance concerns? See Section 2 Any permit mods since last ermit? None New expiration date 12/31/2025 Comments on Draft Permit? Yes — See Section 5 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. Table 1.

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. 10.
