SUMMARY AND COMMENTS:
Comments:
The Division (PERCS Unit) issued a NOV to the POTW on 12/4/14 for the failures to enforce the Division approved ERP and renew the
SIU permit upon expiration. The POTW did issue a NOV to the SIU on 12/15/14 for the failure to submit a permit renewal application
within 180 days of the expiration date.
The POTW has addressed all findings requiring action that were noted in the previous PAI inspection report (dated 6/8/16).
Spartan Dyers has installed a spill containment device for the caustic drum and completed the installation of a new continuous
monitoring system for flow, pH, and temperature in August 2016. This new monitoring device notifies the WWTP ORC of any
exceedances of the set points established for the parameters being continuously monitored in the SIU's wastewater discharge.
The pretreatment records were organized and well.maintained. The POTW's Industrial Pretreatment Program was being properly
implemented.

Re: COD Violation — Sample Date: May 18, 2012; Notification Date: May 1, 2013
Dear Ms. Setzer:
We received your notice of violation dated April 29, 2013. We understand the Chemical Oxygen
Demand (COD) of 860 mg/I exceeds the COD limit of 500 mg/I. Unfortunately, due to the fact
this violation occurred, 1-2 -months ago, it is difficult for us to determine the cause of this
violation. My understanding is that in the 12 months since the violation, our COD has been
within tolerance.
Respectfully, .
George Kelada

Dear Ms. Craft:
. Mooresville Regional Office staff has reviewed your Pretreatment Annual Report (PAR) for the reporting
period of January through December 2012. Additional information is needed before the PAR may be determined to
meet the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0908(b) and the Comprehensive Guidance for North Carolina
Pretreatment Programs.
Based on the review, this letter is being issued as a Notice of Deficiency (NOD) due to the City's failure to
properly implement the Pretreatment Program. Specifically, the City failed to take enforcement per the Division
approved ERP to address a COD violation that was measured during the May 2012 sampling event at Spartan
Dyers (IUP # 0009). Please issue the appropriate enforcement action to the facility per the ERP within 14 days of
receipt of this letter. In addition, a written response addressing the City's corrective actions and amended copies of
the 2012 PAR Narrative and IDSF addressing this violation must be submitted to my attention by May 22, 2013
Response to this letter is required by May 22, 2013. If you have any questions concerning your PAR,
please do not he to contact Donna Hood and myself at [phone] and/or Sarah Morrison at (919) 807-

FILE REVIEW COMMENTS:
Question 34: IUP Application is dated 3/23/2004
Question.35: SIU Inspection Report dated 5/23/2007
,41
Question 36: The SIU Inspection Report noted that the facility did not need a slug and spill control plan because all spills would go
directly to the pretreatment system where the spilled material could be. contained and removed. Spills could also be held in the lagoon
if necessary and treated prior to discharge to the City. The IUP Application stated that a slug and spill control plan has been
developed and was included in the application package from 2004.
Question 38: The IUP was approved. The next submittal must include corrections listed in the Division's letter of November 6, 2007.
Question 39: The City contracts with Sheally Labs to perform all SIU and POTW samping and testing. Sheally Labs sends all lab
results and chain of custody forms to the POTW directly. Lab reports include flow values.
SUMMARY AND COMMENTS:
Comments:
The program appears to be well managed and organized.
There were no violations of the IUP during January - December 2007.
Requirements:
See the Program Elements Review Section of this report.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that an up to date Slug and Spill Plan be obtained from the S11J.

Mr. Miller:
The Division is waiting on a legal document signifying binding agreement on nutrient transfers between Charlotte Water,
Belmont, and Mount Holly in the period before and after the startup of Charlotte Water future regional WWTP. We
cannot move forward with issuing a renewed NPDES permit reflecting any agreed upon nutrient transfers until we have
a copy of this legal document. Any compliance conditions relative to the active NPDES permit including the facility's
assigned nutrient allocations and compliance dates will continue to apply.

Subject: Discussion with Belmont WWTP
Wes,
FYI
I have talked off and on with the new ORC at Belmont over the last couple of years answering questions while the
current permit is administratively continued pending resolution of all the nutrient swaps, trades, purchases, etc..
Yesterday she called and asked about whether to do 2"d species testing based on a note left by the previous ORC. I
explained the 2"d species test was part of the information needed to complete a permit renewal application. Since the
current permit has not been renewed from the last application, conducting 2"d species testing for the next renewal
application at this point and time is not warranted. I told her the final permit we would issue will be for 5 years and will
include a new special condition narrative covering 2"d species testing. Also, the annual Effluent Pollutant Scan would be
reduced to 3 seasonal scans due prior to the next renewal application so I recommended she contact me before doing
anymore scans as none may be required in lieu of the 3 scans that will be required.
She mentioned they were continuing the low level quarterly mercury testing based on the permit draft they received in
2011. 1 told her that was fine we will be revisiting the final permit mercury requirements as we would be applying the
2012 Mercury TWDL. Worse case would be the continued quarterly monitoring of mercury with a limit. Best case only
required low level mercury monitoring would be in scans and pretreatment.

One additional thought, this assumes the contact information, plant component list,. plant operation, and Sludge
Management Plan on the current application is still valid. If not just need a letter to indicate the changes and will attach
to the application.
Ron
Marcia,
We are still working on resolving issues related to allocations, future connection with CMUD, etc. I do not know when
this permit will be issued. However, the Permittee should continue to comply with the administratively continued
current permit and does not need to do submit another renewal application. Prior to issuing the final permit we will
updated the data used to develop the permit and may determine additional information is need.

Hi Ron,
Hope you are doing well and staying cool. Sandra Craft with the City of Belmont WWTP had called this morning
regarding recent correspondence from MRO and also asked us about the status of her permit. I accessed BIMS and it
notes the permit was put on hold in 2012 pending the Division's discussions with EPA and mercury limits.
Ms. Craft noted her last permit renewal was in 2010 and the five-year cycle would be up again in 2015. Does she need
to file permit renewal information with the Division or should she just wait for the current in-house renewal to be
processed?
Thanks for your help,

Dear Mr. Webb:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0021181 was issued on December 30,
2005 for the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State from your facility. The
purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and the liabilities in the
event of failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the. Permit. If you have not already
done so, it is -suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular importance are Pags 4,
-5 and 6.
Pages 4, 5 and 6 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your
'discharge. Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types and sampling
locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on reporting forms furnished or approved by
this Agency. For new permits/facilities, the Division may supply an initial small stock of these
forms; however; if you fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as possible.
The forms, including directions for their completion, and other important information are also
available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.html. It is imperative that all applicable
ports be completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual fee may be required for your facility; if so, you will
receive a statement from our Raleigh Office. It is imperative that the fee be paid in a timely
manner so as to prevent enforcement action or possible revocation of your permit.

The remaining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and special
conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s). The
conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance,' bypasses,
treatment unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater
treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in
operation of wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of .wastewater being treated or
discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must. be permitted or
approved by this Agency.
To maintain compliance with discharge limitations, proper operation and maintenance of
a wastewater treatment facility and the development of a process control program are essential.
For those facilities having chlorine tablet disinfection, please be advised that chlorine tablets
approved for wastewater treatment use must be used; swimming pool tablets are not approved.
Also, be advised that DWQ staff need to have access to the facility's discharge point into the
receiving stream; please maintain a path along the outfall line to facilitate that access.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions, of an NPDES Permit subjects the
Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General
Statutes. A civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties) may be
assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that you are unable to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit, you should contact this Office immediately. A Special Order by. -
Consent (SOC) may be.necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance.
Asa final note, an NPDES Permit is normally, issued for a five-year period. Permits are
not automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180
days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit. This date. is set
forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not automatically transferable.
If'yo'u, as the Periittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that the Division of
Water Quality rescind the Permit or request that DWQ reissue the Permit to another parry, if
necessary.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of
your NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in
Mooresville if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing any
assistance.
Sincerely,
D. Rex Gleason, P.E.

SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A (2). CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 8%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarteLly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnfa Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or
"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent
versions. The tests will be performed during the months of February, May, August, and November. Effluent
sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment
processes. '
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit
limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as
described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic. Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or
subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be .determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does
have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection
methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the 'North Carolina Phase II Chronic
Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the
pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the*.
following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Section
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days
after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or.approved designate signature.
Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream:
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the
permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility
name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the
comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited
above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be
required during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by
the North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be
re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism
survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an
invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be, completed no later than the last day of the month
following the month of the initial monitoring.

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
Annual Average
The.arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year.. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which
is not a designed- or established or operating mode for the facility.

October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 ,hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart
during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.

activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises- the mean
concentration .for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every T days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations preventweekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWO or "the Division'
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
Facility Closure_
The cessation of wastewatertreatment at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage
under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values: For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]' shall be considered =1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 nil collected over a period of time not exceeding 15, minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.

DATA
POTWs meeting one or more of the following criteria must provide the results of whole effluent toxicity tests for acute or chronic toxicity for each of the
facility's discharge points: 1) POTWs with a design flow rate greater than or equal to 1.0 mgd; 2) POTWs With a pretreatment program (or those that are
required to have one under 40 CFR Part 403); or 3) POTWs required by the permitting authority to submit data for these parameters.
• At a minimum, these results must include quarterly testing for a 12-month period within the past 1 year using multiple species (minimum of two
species), or the results from four tests performed at least annually in the four and one-half years prior to the application, provided the results
show no appreciable toxicity, and testing for acute and/or chronic toxicity, depending on the range of receiving water dilution. Do not include
information on combined sewer overflows in this section. All information reported must be based on data collected through analysis conducted
using 40 CFR Part 136 methods. In addition, this data must comply with QA1QC requirements of 40 CFR Part 136 and other appropriate QA1QC
requirements for standard methods for analytes not addressed by 40 CFR Part 136.
• In addition, submit the results of any other whole effluent toxicity tests from the past four and one-half years. If a whole effluent toxicity test
conducted during the past four and one-half years revealed toxicity, provide any information on the cause of the toxicity or any results of a
toxicity reduction evaluation, if one was conducted.
• If you have already submitted any of the information requested in Part E. you need not submit it again. Rather, provide the information
requested in question EA for previously submitted information. If EPA methods were not used, report the reasons for using alternate methods.
If test summaries are available that contain all of the information requested below, they may be submitted in place of Part E.

Page Two
b. What is the current permitted capacity: 5.0 MGD
C. Actual treatment capacity of current facility (current design capacity): 5.0 MGD
d. Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: The existing
WWT facilities consist of dual influent bar screens (one mechanical and one
manual), caustic'addition (if necessary), a parshall flume with flow meter, grit
chamber with mechanical grit removal system (currently inoperable), dual
aeration basins with mechanical aeration (only one in service), dual secondary
clarifiers, chlorine gas disinfection with contact chamber, effluent parshall flume,
effluent flow measurement..with recorder, two aerobic sludge digesters, an aerated
sludge holding tank, a stand-by power generator, and sludge drying beds (not
used).
e. Description of proposed WWT facilities: There are no proposed WWT facilities
at this time.
PART HI - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: None requested at this time
by the City nor are any recommended by this Office.
2. Compliance information: This facility consistently complied with all permit parameters in
2009. The most recent CEI performed at this facility did not find any issues with operations
or maintenance that would warrant a NOV.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Belmont (the City) requests renewal of the subject permit. There have been no
changes to the existing WWTP and/or the permit since the permit was last renewed nor are any
proposed during the term of the new permit.
In conversations with Mr. Flowers and Ms. Craft during the site visit,. the possibility. of -
including tiered effluent limits in the permit was discussed. The City has lost a number of industrial
customers over the past several years, .which has resulted in a significant reduction in hydraulic flow
to the WWTP. Current wastewater flows over the past 12 months are averaging around 1.3 MGD,
which is less than half the hydraulic capacity. of the WWTP. Furthermore, the receiving waters have
been found to be impacted by nutrients, which may eventually result in the City having to upgrade to
meet future nutrient effluent limitations. The City hopes that by reducing the permitted flow, they
would be able to postpone future nutrient removal upgrades. One possible scenario being considered
by the City would be to establish effluent limits for 2.0 MGD and 5.0 MGD. If tiered limits are
requested by the City and eventually incorporated into this NPDES permit, it is important that
language also be included in the permit that specifically defines when the City must move from one
permitted flow to the other.- Without such written guidance, compliance becomes difficult to
determine, especially when average flows are at or near the lowered tiered limit.

Page Three
Pending a review and approval of this request by the Western NPDES Unit, it is
recommended that the subject permit be renewed.

Re: Pent # M DES NCO021181 ; City of Belmont - Request to Modify Operational Hours
Dear Ms.l Wilson:
Thank you for taking time to discJs with me some of our operational concems pertal nMg to the
City of B lmont and our wastew&V:r plant As you requested, I have listed below several items of
Immedia k concerns which eve would like for you and your staff to review. These concerns result
prim aril in the City of Belmont VIing unable to adequately meet personnel staffing for nights
and week -end shifts through quaTkied and certified operators. Currently, we are approved for
ten (10) der6fied. or arced giant positions. We currently have seven positions filled wit%
qualified operators but are staving �9f =idly in findmg additiorml pexummel to fill our remammg
$tree (3) pen positions. is Ca&ing some hardships on our first and second shift employees
through cessi% amoun44i of overtime and shift changes fn order *for them to Keep the plant

We hope you will take "corm eratum the following thoughts and 'ideas for which our staff
and City officials are regu&tIng ix order to modify our current operational procedures. Once
you have had a chance to rview ur concerns, we certainly welcome a meeting so that we can
dete a better plan oxt opexati r. our wastewater plant on a more improved and professional
schedule Our main goal is to ease ilie xespoxtsiWlit[es of our current wastewater staff while at the

)SP SM THOUGHTS AND 3DE,A,S:
4- We are currently pertaittek for 5 MGD widdu the Catawba River Basin. Requesting a
reduction in our 443, gai~lons would be one option as it would require less certified
Aerators. With out curret growth in residential additions, we do not feel comfortable
eelang a reduction of our"pe=dt for fear of not being re -approved should future needs
requested. In short, ou;, 5 MGD should remain as permitted by the State unless of
nurse, we could xQceive assurance from the State otherwise.
e City has sperttl hundl of dollars each mon% advertising for certified operators in
topes of filling these open �ositions. Our City elected officials recently approved adding
outer new posi#ion to, offsei our existing work load as well as approving
dditional funds to aidn•i searching for •new personnel. To date, we have not been
uccessful in finding approved or qualified personnel to fill not only the new position,

City of Belmont's Request for Waiver of Requirement for 24/7 Staffs...
Subject: City of Belmont's Request for Waiver of Requirement for 24/7 Staffing with Certified
Operators
From: Richard Bridgeman <[e-mail]>
Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2005 14:06:52 -0400
To: Rex Gleason <[e-mail]>
Citing difficulties in maintaining an adequate staff of properly certified
operators, sufficient to operate on a 24/7 basis, as per 15A NCAC 02H .0124(4), the
City has requested a waiver from the requirement to have at least one certified
wastewater operator per each shift.
Following is a summary of facts and/or supposition surrounding the City's request:
* For mechanical facilities with a design capacity equal to or
greater than 5.0 mgd, 15A NCAC 02H .0124(4), in part, requires
that each shift be staffed by at least one certified wastewater
operator.
* In part, 15A NCAC 08G .0202 only requires that a classified
water pollution control system have one designated ORC and one or
more Back-up ORC's of the appropriate type and grade for the system.
* The City's WWTP has funding for 10 (possibly 11, according to how
one interprets the waiver request) positions. Seven positions are
currently filled with certified operators, but the City is having
difficulty finding additional certified operators to fill the
remaining positions.
* The waiver request suggests that the City is willing to install an
electronic SCADA system, but only if DWQ agrees to allow the City
to use uncertified operators.
* The waiver request does not discuss how the SCADA system would be
set up and how quickly staff could be mobilized in the event of an
operational problem.
* The City suggests that finding certified operators is made more
difficult because the nearby larger communities, such as Charlotte
and Gastonia, are able to offer higher pay scales.
Following are the writer's comments and conclusions:
* 15A 02H .0124(4) provides for a waiver of the rule.
* Perhaps a partial waiver related to shift staffing can also be given.
* The City of Statesville's two WWTP's are operated on a 24/7 basis,
even though the facilities are not subject to the requirements of
15A 02H .0124(4). The facilities may or may not be staffed by
certified operators during the night and weekend shifts. Neither
facility has a SCADA system, although the Fourth Creek facility
does have telemetry. The SWP staff has been given no reason to
think that the facilities receive inadequate care during the 2nd
and 3rd shifts.
* To maintain its WWTP staff, the City needs to realize that it has
to successfully compete with larger, better funded communities.
* Perhaps the Technical Assistance and Certification Unit can
provide the City of Belmont a list of area certified operators.
* 15A NCAC 08G .0602 (Temporary Certificates) does not seem to apply
in this case.
* Provided that the City installs and properly operates an approved
SCADA system, and provided that the City gives intensive
supervision to the trainees, and provided that the partially
trained staff who would work the night and weekend shifts actively
work toward successfully sitting for certification, the writer has
no objection to granting a temporary waiver. In the interim,
compliance with the relevant rules is expected.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Belmont requests renewal of the subject Permit. There have been no changes to
the existing WWTP and/or the permit since the permit was last renewed. Mr. Pat Waiters (WWTP
Superintendent) indicated during the site visit a desire to have the permitted flow at this facility
reduced below 5.0 MGD. The basis for this request is that facilities with permitted flows at or above
5.0 MGD are required to have staff present 24 hours per day. _ Since some industrial water users have
recently closed or left town, the WWTP has seen a reduction in hydraulic loading. Current flows
(over the past 12 months) are running anywhere from 1.87 MGD to 2.6 MGD. Belmont will be
submitting a request to have the renewed permit issued with tiered limits; one flow will be either 3.0
or 4.0 MGD, and the other flow .will be the current hydraulic capacity of 5.0 MGD. When
incorporating tiered effluent limits such as this in an NPDES permit, it is equally important that
language also be included in the permit that specifically defines when the City must move from one
permitted flow to the other. Without such written guidance, compliance becomes difficult to
determine, especially when average flows are at or near the lowered tiered limit.
This facility continues to have a significant amount of color in it's effluent and, therefore,
should be included in any proposed color monitoring/study program implemented by the Division.
Pending receipt and approval of the WLA, it is recommended that the NPDES Permit be
renewed.

Subject: NPDES Permit Renewal Application
Permit NCO021181
City of Belmont WWTP
Gaston County
Dear Mr. Waiters:
The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on February 16, 2001. Thank you for submitting
this package.
The permit renewal for this facility will be assigned to a member of the NPDES Unit staff. That staff
member will contact you if further information is needed to complete the permit renewal. Please note that
the NPDES Unit has several vacant positions. This staff shortage has lasted for over a year and is delaying
all permit renewals. Our remaining permit writers are currently reviewing Authorizations to Construct,
speculative limit requests, major permit modifications and 201 plan updates ahead of permit renewals. This
is necessary due to a variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in the statutes which govern our
program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NCO021181 the existing requirements in your permit will remain
in effect until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We appreciate your patience and
understanding while we operate with a severely depleted staff. If you have any additional questions
concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact me at [phone], extension 520.

Valery Stephens

PROJECT NOTES
Summary
• This is a permit renewal for a 5.0 MGD major municipal activated sludge WWTP serving a
population of 9500. Average daily industrial flow averaged 1.5 MGD, and the renewal
application reported 3 SIUs (all textile yarn dyers) discharging to the POTW. Sludge is land -
applied according to permit W90003281. The facility has been discharging since 1970.
• In the early 1990's the facility relocated its outfall pipe to the main stem Catawba River
(Lake Wylie), which is classified as water supply (WS-IV, B CA) at the discharge location.
The submerged outfall structure is located 345-feet from shoreline, at approximately 12-feet
below water surface. The receiving stream is not listed in the 2000 303(d) list of impaired
waterbodies. The discharge point falls within the Lake Wylie Nutrient Management Strategy
area, and therefore the facility will be subject to nutrient limitations upon expansion.
Permit Development
• Application. The previous permit expired 8/31/01. The facility's renewal application
(Standard Form A) was received by the Division on 2/ 16/01.
• 24/7 Staffing Waiver Request. The facility is currently permitted for 5 MGD. At permit
renewal the facility requested a phased limit of 4 MGD be added, due to the recent loss of
several major water users and the resultant decrease in average monthly flow to only 1.6-
2.5 MGD. Since the facility's main concern was the additional cost burden of 24-hour/7-
day staffing requirement for > 5 MGD facilities per 15A NCAC 2H.0124, the facility is now
requesting a waiver from the 24/7 staffmg requirement. This waiver request is under
review by the Compliance Unit.
• Color. The facility's effluent is colored due to textile waste, however no instream aesthetic
impact is evident since the outfall is submerged and located >300-feet offshore. Therefore,
no color monitoring is recommended.
• Cvanide. Based on reasonable potential analysis, the 2000 DMR data indicated a potential
for the effluent to exceed the allowable cyanide concentration (66 ug/1). On 9/21/00, the
facility reported an effluent concentration of 73 ug/l and a concentration of 140 ug/l in the
west aeration basin. In November 1999, the facility reported an influent concentration of
140 ug/1 and an effluent concentration of 58 ug/l. Effuent data for 2001 (through August)
has been below the detection limit (<10 ug/1). The facility may request removal of the
cyanide limit if data for 12-months shows effluent concentrations below the detection limit.
• Metals. Metals are analyzed monthly in effluent under the Pretreatment Long Terris
Monitoring Plan. Copper was the only metal to show reasonable potential, but per the
Action Level Policy no limit is needed since the facility has been compliant with its chronic
toxicity test. Maintain monthly monitoring of metals under the Pretreatment LTMP.
• Downstream Station. The facility's DMRs state the downstream monitoring station at 100-
feet below the outfall pipe, while the previous permit required 1-mile downstream
monitoring. The permittee stated that the monitoring has been at 1-mile below the outfall,
and the DMR will be corrected.
• Future Expansion. Note that upon expansion_ beyond 5 MGD, the facility will be subject to
the Lake Wylie Nutrient Management Strategy (1 mg/1 TP and 6 mg/l TN summer). The
facility would also be subject to the Catawba Lakes Strategy, which requires the facility to
meet a minimum of advanced. treatment limits (15 mg/1 BOD5 and 4 mg/1 NH3-N). Based
on instream data showing low instream DO above the discharge (see below), more stringent
effluent limits would likely be required upon expansion.
• Water Qualitv Limited Parameters: cyanide
DMR Data.
• Effluent Phvsical/Chemical Data. For the period 1/01-8/01, the following range of monthly
average values were reported: 1.5-2.5 MGD [flow]; 2.8-11 mg/1 [BOD]; 0.2-3.1 mg/l [NH3];
14-21 mg/1 [TSS]; 7-45 orgs/100m1 [fecal]; 2-14 mg/1 [TN]; and 2-20 mg/l [TP]. Daily
maximum TRC concentrations ranged up to 600-700 ug/l.
• Effluent Toxicitv Data. The facility has passed 19 of 20 quarterly chronic toxicity tests
conducted between 1997-2001. The test is conducted at an effluent concentration = 8%.
• Instream Data. For 2000/01 period, the facility reported instream monitoring data at an
upstream and downstream station. Generally there were no instream trends noted for DO,

fecal coliforms, or conductivity between stations. Instream DO values were generally above
the WQS (5 mg/1) in summer 2001, but Summer 2000 data shows several values <5 mg/l,
particularly at the upstream station. For Summer 2001, there does not appear to be any
instream exceedance of the fecal coliform WQS.
• Compliance Data. There were no compliance enforcement assessments for this facility
between 1/94-3/00. A�civil penalty of $983 was assessed for May 2000 for monitoring
violations, and a Notice of Violation was sent for a chronic toxicity test failure reported in
August 2000.
Wasteload Allocation..
• The last WLA was conducted in 1996.
Mooresville Region Data.
• The MRO submitted a staff report dated 5/23/01 for this permit renewal. The staff report
states there are no water intakes for several miles below the discharge point. The report
notes there is color in the effluent. However, since the effluent is discharged below the
surface and >300-feet offshore, no color plume is evident.
• The MRO conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection on 10/24/00. The MRO reported
that the WWTP operation and maintenance is commendable, and a comprehensive process
control program is used.
Miscellaneous Data.
• The city reported 6 sewer line spills totaling 68,000 gallons during calendar year 2000.

CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina .Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay.
Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or'subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality
is _8_% :(defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform
quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be
performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit during the months of
FEB MAY AUG NOV_ Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final
effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be -entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed; using the parameter code TGP3B.
Additionally, DEM Form AT-1. (original)is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy, Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in
association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will
begin immediately until such time that,a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will
revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and
modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the -cited document, such as minimum control organism
survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate
retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will'constitute
noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

to be satisfactory.
Authorization is hereby granted for the construction. and operation of a 1.7 million
gallon aerated sludge holding tank with one (1) 25. Hp aerator and three (3) 40 Hp mixers,
and associated site work and appurtenances. The existing aeration basin which was to be
converted to sludge holding as described in the Authorization to Construct issued July 6,
1992, is to be used for standby, possible flow equalization and in the future as additional
aeration capacity.
Do not proceed with construction until the Authorization -to -Award package, EEO, and
MBE documentation/certification .have been reviewed, and you are in receipt of our approval,
if funding is desired for project construction.
The Permittee shall employ an actively State certified wastewater treatment plant
operator to be in responsible charge of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator
must hold a valid State 'Certificate of the grade at least equivalent to the classification
assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. When a new
chief operator must be obtained to be in responsible charge of the new facilities, it is required
that this be done by the time. the construction of the facilities is 50% complete.

The Authorization -to -Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph D of
NPDES Pen -nit No. NC0021181, issued September 1, 1988 and shall be subject to revocation
unless the wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the approved
plans, specifications, and supporting documents; and are in compliance with the conditions
and limitations specified in Permit No. NC0021181.
The Permittee shall have an acceptable sludge analysis and a sludge toxicity analysis
which have been approved by the Division of Environmental Management, Water Quality
Section prior to the disposal of any sludge from the new wastewater treatment plant. Copies
of the analyses, supporting documents, and approvals shall be submitted to the Division of
Environmental Management's Mooresville Regional Office.
The disposing, selling or free distribution of wet, dried, composted sludge or sludge -like
materials from wastewater facilities without prior review and approval by this Division is
illegal.
During the construction of the proposed additions/modifications, the permittee shall

E. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there maybe no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 8% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date
of this permit during the months of February, May, August and November. Effluent sampling for
this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment
processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1). for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B. - Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemicallphysical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
F. The facility must meet 0.5 mg/l of Total Phosphorous and 4 mg/l Total Nitrogen in the summer
and 0.5 mg/l Total Phosphorous and 8 mg/l Total Nitrogen in the winter within 5 years in
accordance with the Lake Wylie Management Plan.

The Division of Environmental Management has reviewed your letter of August 2; 1991 and
has analyzed your wasteload allocation based on the flow of 5.0 MGD. Our modeling analysis
indicates the following limits would be included in your permit at the time of renewal: ,
BOD5 30 mg/l
TSS 30 mg/1
Fecal Coliform 200/100 ml
pH 6-9 S.U.
Also, daily maximum limits were established for the following metals:Or IN

Chromium 663 µgn , to 6 3 ►ng /[. �.
Cyanide 06µg/l :.obron3/I--------------------- ..._ ---

Monthly_ effluent monitoring requirements would also be included for copper, nickel, lead,
zinc and silver and a chronic toxicity testing requirement with sampling in February, May, August
and November. ,

North Carolina has recently adopted an action level for total residual chlorine of 17 µg/1 to • n IL
protect against chronic toxicity to aquatic life under low flow con terns. This will result in an
effluent limit of 28 µg/1 total residual chlorine being applied to the Belmont facility upon any
upgrade of the facility. , o 49 m9 IL
These limits are. preliminary and could change based on additional review by the division
staff and comments from the regional office. Consideration of protecting against acute toxicity in
the mixing zone could result in more stringent metal requirements.. Implementation of the
basin -wide water quality management initiative in the Catawba River Basin in 1995 could result is .
stricter nutrient limitations. With this in mind, Belmont should consider designing the new facility
such that biological nutrient removal and chemical polishing could be easily added.

Finally, color in the Catawba River Basin is a concern. Basin management plans are likely to
develop strategies to address color:. If significant' industrial users. (SIU) contribute color to' ..
Belmont's effluent, the Town may wish to begin building a databage for color. Monitoring of the
influent and effluent is units_ of ADMI with periodic sampling of the SIUs contributing the color is
recommended.
The Division hopes that this information, however preliminary,'is hulpful-toi.:the Town of

RE : -Consent-Order'

City of Belmont Wastewater Treatment Facility
Dear Mr. Tedder.
PHONE [phone]
AREA CODE 704
As -Chairman of the Lake Wylie Marine Commission, I would like to
share with.you the Commissi.on's comments concerning the consent
order to allow the City'of Belmont to exceed its permit limits.
The Marine Commission has reviewed this issue by meeting with
both city staff and DEM staff on the need for the consent order.
In reviewing this order the Marine Commission became very
concerned that the City of Belmont had failed to meet two
previously established deadlines.for improving the wastewater
treatment plant. The failure to meet these deadlines reflect
very poorly on both the.Department of Environmental Management
and the City of Belmont.
The Marine Commission is encouraged that the City of Belmont is
beginning to improve its treatment plant. In a meeting between
the Marine Commissioners and the City Manager, it was stated that
the City intended -to basically overhaul its treatment plant to
..bring it in compliance with current permit limits.
1300 BAXTER STREET -CHARLOTTE, N.C. 28204

January 22, 1991
Mr. Steve Tedder
Page 2
Based on the information we have received, the Marine Commission
would recommend that the consent order be issued with the
following stipulations:
1) A requirement that the City of Belmont allow.the
tap connection of onlysingle family residential
customers.
2) A requirement that the City of Belmont
establish an equalization tank to handle
unexpected overflow. It is.the understanding of
the Marine Commission that during periods of rain
the.Belmont plant will have an average of flow of
5 million gallons which is the plant limit.
Without the equalization tanks improperly treated
waste could'be discharged into Lake Wylie.
3) The establishment of mutually agreed upon
compliance schedules tied to the plant
improvements., For much too'long this plant has
been neglected both by the State and City. The
Marine Commission believes that unless specific
compliance schedules are established plant
improvements may not be done in a timely manner.
We would further recommend that if the compliance
schedules are not met, the Department of
Environmental Management would revoke the consent
order.
4) We recommend that this be the final consent order
which would allow Belmont to exceed permit limits.
Based on the information we have received it
appears that Belmont has had sufficient time to
improve its plant..,
5) The establishment of more frequent inspection and
monitoring.by the Department of Environmental
.Management for both of discharges and plant
progress.- We believe this is needed due to the
frequent discharge violations and lack of
demonstrated plant improvement.
6) Currently Belmont is only planning to improve its
plant -to meet the current permit limits. We
recommend that the City be required to begin
planning for ways.to treat wastewater at more
stringent limits than the current permit
authorizes. The Marine Commission is not pleased
with the current limits currently imposed on

January 22,1991
Mr. Steve Tedder
Page
treatment plants in Lake Wylie. With the expected
growth in.the area it is important the limits be
more stringent inorder to make maximum use of the
available water. Unless treatment plants such D,s
Belmont begin planning for these stringent
standards we may find many renovated plants unable
to meet future limits.
7) We recommend that Belmont obtain necessary funding
through the State Revolving Loan Fund. It_ is our
understanding that without this loan, the City may
not.be able to complete the project -in a timely
manner. While we have not examined the fiscal
condition of the City, we believe that given the
current state statutes regulating municipal fiscal
management one can generally assume that the city
is fiscally sound.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this permit. We hope
that you share our concern about the water quality of Lake Wylie.
If you have questions or need further information please feel
free to contact me.

Agenda Item: Consideration of Water Quality Special
Order by Consent for the City of
Belmont, Gaston County, North Carolina
Explanation: This Special Order by Consent amendment,
EMC WQ 88-23, if issued to the City of
Belmont, will allow the City to exceed
its final effluent limitations for BOD TSS, Total Nickel and Cyanide. It will,
require monitoring without a limitation
for NH as N, Total Cadmium, Total Lead,
Total LLromium, and Chronic Toxicity.
This Order will also allow the facility
to accept up to 1.3.7 MGD of additional
domestic strength wastewater. Proposed
plans are to extend the existing outfall
from the bank of Lake Wylie out into the
main channel to include an underwater
discharge of wastewater treatment plant
effluent. BOD5 will have an interim
monthly average limit of 30.0 mg/l.
TSS will have an interim monthly average
limit of 45.0 mg/l. Total Nickel and
Cyanide will have interim daily maximum
limits of 0.33 mg/1 and 0.066.mg/l,
respectively. The City of Belmont's
Wastewater Treatment Plant is a 5.0 MGD
activated sludge facility consisting of
a bar screen, instrumented flow
measurement, grit removal, dual
mechanical aeration basins, dual
secondary clarifiers, chlorinated
effluent disinfection and sludge drying
beds. Treated effluent is discharged
into the Catawba River (Lake Wylie),
which is classified Class WS-III, B.
Construction is to be completed and
compliance with.final effluent
limitations achieved by September 1,
1991. This Order shall expire September
1, 1991.
The City of Belmont was assessed
$2826.91 for previous limit violations,
however, this amount was remitted to
$2326.91 which has been paid.
The Special Order by Consent was noticed
as required by G.S. 143-215.2(al)(1). A
determination was made by the Director
that insufficient interest was shown to
warrant a public meeting.

Recommendation: The Division recommends that the Special
order by Consent for the City of Belmont
be approved as proposed.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit' Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33
USC-1251; et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled
and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during
such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days
the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit.
b . The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
.weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average"
in Part I of the permit.
c: The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is.defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on. which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
year.: It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found
each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.'

Part II
Page 2 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month
on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples_is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are. sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of
the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. - The average weekly count
for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average", under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
"Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all 'daily discharges ,sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are. sampled and measured divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measuredduring; such year; (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to .the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count -for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount
of dissolved,oxygen required to be available in the'effluent prior to discharge averaged
over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the
sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is
identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples. taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g., A calendar quarter. is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.

Part 11
Page 3 of 14
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded
during the calendar month.
b.. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measuree of flow taken at the time of sampling,
when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A :'continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Lnes of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the
sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by
use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment
system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of
flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent .grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time
of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time
intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the
detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval
between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less
than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b . Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of .
the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values." The geometric
mean is equivalent to the-antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual
values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).

Part 11
ID 4 of 14
c. Weighted byFlow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably
represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.

installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the
conditions of the permit.
3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
condition of this permit.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or
operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to
the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and
permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the
absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by
delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to
be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;
including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of anunanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, R 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action
against a permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or mahitenance during normal

Part II
Page 9 of 14
periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup
equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering
judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment
downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. U sets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors
beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance
to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities,
inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper
operation.
b . Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this
permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this
permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset
has the burden of proof.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or
control of wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in
a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State
or navigable waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal

1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant
Funds or are any public monies involved (municipals only)?
Yes, public monies will help finance proposed modifications.
2.. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxici-ty)
requests: None.at this time.
3. Important SOC/JOC or Compliance.Schedule dates: N/A
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: N/A
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Belmont requests renewal of the subject Permit.
Upon completion of the proposed WWTP modifications, the WWTP
classification will change from a Class III to a Class IV
facility. The renewed Permit should contain effluent monitoring
frequencies that reflect both Class III and Class IV criteria.

Page Four
A rather lackadaisical app-roach to the implementing and
enforcement of the City's Industrial Pretreatment Program
continues to jeopardize compliance at this facility.from month to
month. Inadequately treated wastewater and/or surge flows from
industries cause frequent operational problems that will .be
exacerbated during the construction period while existing units
are out of service. Stricter enforcement of the City's Sewer Use
Ordinance appears_ necessary to insure that influent wastewater
concentrations and volumes remain consistent. The WWTP
superintendent has been made aware that compliance problems can
not be tolerated. An SOC application has been forwarded to the
City for their use should compliance.problems occur as a result
of the construction activities.
Flow data also suggests problems with I/I in the City's
collection system. According to Ms. Standafer, some progress has
been made in this area; however, based on flow readings, much
work is still needed.
This facility has a significant amount of color in it's
effluent and, therefore, should be included in any proposed color
monitoring program implemented by the Division.
Pending receipt and approval of the WLA, it is recommended
that the NPDES Permit be renewed.

Dear Mr. Moore:
The pretreatment rules in 15A NCAC 2H .0900 have been revised effective November 1, 1994.
Therefore, the pretreatment requirements for the City of Belmont have changed and your
NPDES permit is hereby modified to reflect these changes. Please insert the enclosed
Part III.A-B into the appropriate place in your current NPDES permit and disregard the old
Part III.A-B. Please note that any original Part III conditions after Part III.B are still in effect and
must remain in the permit.
The main change is found in Part III.B.10 with a change from Semi -Annual Reports (SAR) to
Pretreatment Annual Reports (PAR). Your PAR is due by March 1 of each year and shall cover
activities for the two previous six-month periods. Please include the following periods in your
first annual report:
First six month period: 1/1/94 - 6/30/94
Second six month period: 7/1/94-12/31/94
You are reminded that you must still judge compliance for each industrial user for each six-
month period, and take appropriate enforcement action.
The requirements for submission of a PAR are found in Chapter 9 of the Comprehensive
Guidance for North Carolina Pretreatment Programs.
This permit modification is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the
US Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983.
