Toxicity —Not required
For Renewal — This permit reflects discharge at Outfall 001. DWR updated the Electronic Reporting -
Discharge Monitoring Reports page. Regulatory citations were added throughout the permit.
Stream — Discharge from Hot Springs Housing Authority WWTP for outfall 001 is into the French Broad
River [Stream Segment 6-(54.75)fJ.
RPA — A Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) was not applicable for any parameters for this permit
renewal.
Implementation of 2012 Statewide Mercury TMDL — The Hot Springs Housing Authority WWTP was not
required to sample for mercury in the previous permit. Once per Permit Cycle Monitoring for Mercury is
required for minor municipal systems. Mercury monitoring was not added to this permit because the
renewal application indicated "residential" for the facility generating wastewater and "separate (sanitary
sewer only)" for type of collection system. This facility serves a government housing authority with 39 units
and does not serve any industrial users or dental offices that would be sources of Mercury.
