A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, Quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia 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, March, June, September, and December. 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. If reporting pass/fail results using the
parameter code TGP3B, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is sent to the below address. If reporting Chronic Value results
using the parameter code THP3B, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section 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 Section 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.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted on the DMR and all AT forms
submitted.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document (such as minimum control organism
.survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and/or 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 initial monitoring.
A. (3.) DREDGING OF SETTLING PONDS
The permittee shall routinely dredge the treatment system settling ponds to remove solids and sediment. Pond
bottom dredging is required at a frequency and to a depth sufficient to avoid carryover of solids and nitrogen to the
effluent. '

Please see the revised draft. A change was made to the effluent limitations page in the draft permit renewal for
NC0021881.
At the request of Wilm;ngton Regional Office staff the Fecal Coliform monitoring will be increased to 3 times per week;
instead of weekly.
Weekly monitoring for a facility of this type is the minimum required. The increased monitoring may be modified at a
later date if the data shows the facility has disinfection under control.
Thank you for your attention to this. The permit is due to be issued mid -June.

Dear Ms. Sprinkle;
Member N.C. League of Municipalities
I have received your correspondence of March 9, 2009 in reference to a sludge Management Plan
that needs to be added to our Application for a NPDES Permit (NC0021881) renewal.
We have never had a written Sludge Management Plan. However, there is a system to our
management of sludge disposal. We send our sludge to two digesters where it is mixed and allowed to
settle. We then have S&B Maintenance of Bolivia, NC lime stabilize our sludge and then haul it to
Bolivia and apply it to their fields.
We have been using S&B Maintenance for at least 8 years and have had no problems. However,
should the need arise, and S&B Maintenance is not available, Atlantic Dewatering Services of
Clayton, NC has also performed this service for us in the past.
I hope this will suffice as our management plan. If it will not, or you need additional
information, please feel free to call me at 910-640-9801 (Cell).

4) Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous Authorizations to Construct issued in the
previous Iwo years: None
5) Please provide a description of existing or substantially constructed wastewater treatment
facilities: This facility is an extended aeration activated sludge system. Influent is directed
through a manual bar screen and grit chamber to a single aeration basin. The aeration basin is
equipped with two floating mechanical aerators, flow from this basin is directed to a single
clarifier with sludge return (RAS) and sludge wasting (WAS). Two polishing ponds in series
receive flow from the clarifier the second pond contains one floating mechanical aerator. Flow
continues to a chlorine contact chamber and dechlorination chamber, followed by a continuous
recording flow meter and composite sampler. Waste sludge is held in two aerated sludge holding
tanks with back up sludge drying beds, waste sludge is normally lime stabilized and removed by
tanker truck for disposal. The facility has a generator for emergency power as needed.
6) Please provide a description of proposed wastewater treatment facilities: None
7) Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: Chlorine and ammonia
8) Pretreatment Program (POTWs only): NA
9) Residuals handling and utilization/disposal scheme: Liquid lime stabilized sludge is
removed from the site under permit WQ0000783 by S & B Maintenance, Inc.

Compliance history for this facility within the past permit cycle is as follows: This facility
has been having issues with fecal coliform violations and occasional BOD and TSS
violations.
10) Treatment plant classification: Type: Biological Wastewater
Class: II
11) SIC Code(s): 4952
PART IV - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant Funds or are any public monies
(municipals only) involved? Yes
2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: None
3. Important SOC JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: None
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation:
5. Other Special Items: This facility should be required to complete a sludge survey of
each polishing pond and the aeration basin during each permit cycle with the results
being reported to the Wilmington Regional Office and removal of these solids as
required.
PART V - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This facility utilizes a relatively simple operation scheme and should be capable of treating
the influent wastewater to permit limits during normal flows, higher flow rates may cause solids
loss in the effluent and in turn result in increased levels of BOD, TSS and fecal coliform. A
concern is that the accumulation of solids in the polishing ponds has occurred over the
operational period of this facility. This reduced volume and detention time can greatly affect the
removal capacity of these ponds, the evaluation and removal of solids in the polishing ponds
could serve to improve their performance especially during periods of higher flow.
The aeration basin has never had grit and sand removed since its original construction, the
significant accumulation of this material is highly likely. This grit reduces the usable volume of
the basin and so reduces it treatment capacity, other similar facilities in the region have removed
large amounts of accumulated grit by on line dredging and have improved operational capacity
by doing so.
Problems with the chlorination and dechlorination system have been on going and was being
serviced during this staff report visit, these problems will need to be eliminated to insure reliable
disinfection of the effluent in the future.
The Wilmington Regional Office recommends reissuance of the permit in accordance with the
Lumber River Basinwide permitting strategy, and provided no significant adverse public comment is

4
received. The Wilmington Regional Office also requests that the recommendations provided herein
are considered in the reissuance of Permit No. NC0021881.
