Briefly describe the proposed permitting action and facility background:
City of Eden has applied for an NPDES permit renewal at 13.5 MGD at the Mebane Bridge WWTP. This
facility serves a population of approximately 18,250 residents within Eden and Wentworth. This facility
maintains a full pretreatment program with 3 Significant Industrial Users, 2 of which are Categorical
Page 1 of 11
Industrial Users — Karastan Rug Mill (packaged rugs and broadloom carpets), Duke Energy Dan River
Combined Cycle Station (leachate from coal ash landfills), and Weil McLain (residential and commercial
boilers, sheet metal forming, finishing and assembly).
The City applied for an Authorization to Construct (AtC) permit in September 2018, which was issued
December 2018. This AtC permit includes replacing existing RAS and WAS pumps at pump stations 1
and 2 with new RAS and WAS pumps, installing a new sludge chemical stabilization unit (Clean B unit),
installing a new steel sludge storage tank, constructing a new sludge transfer pump station (with 2 sludge
transfer pumps), installing a new sludge transfer forcemain, constructing a new chemical storage shed,
and installing 2 new magnetic flow meters. The signed Engineer's Certificate will be returned to DWR
once these modifications have been completed.
Additionally, with this permit renewal, the City requests a reduction in monitoring frequency for BOD,
TSS, Fecal Coliform, and NH3-N, based on the exceptionally performing facilities criteria. Facility
effluent data for these parameters was reviewed from October 2015 to October 2018, and the facility was
granted this request. See Section 10. Monitoring Requirements.

4. Instream Data Summary
Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example: 1) to verify model predictions
when model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/1 of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to
verify model predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future TMDL; 4) based on other
instream concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also
Monitoring Coalitions established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in
which case instream monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained).
Page 3 of 11
If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will be proposed for this
permit action:
The current permit requires instream monitoring for temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and pH.
This permit maintains the same instream monitoring requirements, with the addition of quarterly upstream
hardness sampling. The table below summarizes instream data from January 2016 to May 2020.

Review of this data included analysis using Students T-test at a 95% confidence interval, where a p value
<0.05 signifies a statistically significant difference between the upstream and downstream locations.
Analysis indicates that:
1. Temperature standard of 2.8°C increase was maintained, and there was not a statistically
significant increase from upstream to downstream sampling sites.
2. Conductivity did not significantly increase from upstream to downstream sampling sites.
3. DO did not significantly increase from upstream to downstream sampling sites.
4. pH slightly decreased from upstream to downstream; this decrease is statistically significant.
[Over the period of analysis (January 2016 through October 2018), there were 4 occasions where
the downstream pH dropped below 6.0 s.u. On one of these days (4/23/2018), the upstream pH
was 5.47 and the effluent (6.94 s.u.) appeared to increase the receiving stream's pH to 5.98 at the
downstream location.
Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (Y/N): NO
Name of Monitoring Coalition: NA
5. Compliance Summary
Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): The facility reported no limit
violations from January 2016 to June 2020.
Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results
(past 5 years): The facility passed 17 of 17 quarterly chronic toxicity tests, as well as all 4 second species
chronic toxicity tests from March 2016 through June 2020.
Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The last routine compliance
inspection was conducted in September 2019. The inspector noted the facility as noncompliant due to the
following issues:
• Flow proportional sampling - The facility should set up the system for proper flow proportional
sampling.
Page 4 of 11
• Record Keeping — Analytical results inconsistent with data reported on DMRs; "Reviewed the
DMR for 9/18/2019 and noted that Effluent Zinc was reported as kg/day, and not mg/1. No
conversion was made, thus this is simply a unit error. The DMRs with this fault should be
corrected and resubmitted. This appears to have been present in DMRs since 6/2016."
• Effluent Pipe - "The outfall was not observed due to access issues. The operators said that they
tried to get the lines crew to clear the outfall ROW but due to the time of year it was not directly
accessible."
• Flow Measurement -Effluent - "Flow meters are installed on the effluent sides of the 3 chlorine
contact chambers and they are calibrated but not connected to SCADA and not used for flow
reporting or flow proportioning."
6. Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs)
Dilution and Mixing Zones
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0206, the following streamflows are used for dilution considerations
for development of WQBELs: 1 Q 10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic
Life; non -carcinogen HH); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH).
If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMIX model results): NA
If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B. 0204(b): NA
Oxygen -Consuming Waste Limitations
Limitations for oxygen -consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to
ensure protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits
(e.g., BOD= 30 mg/1 for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and
model results.
If permit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed: Limitations for
BOD are based on secondary treatment standards, and there is no DO limit in the permit. No changes are
proposed from the previous permit limits.
Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations
Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of
1.0 mg/1 (summer) and 1.8 mg/1 (winter). Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria,
utilizing a multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non -Municipals.
Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection
of aquatic life (17 ug/1) and capped at 28 ug/1 (acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values
reported below 50 ug/1 are considered compliant with their permit limit.
Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: Summer
ammonia limits of 14.8 mg/L (monthly average limit) and 35.0 mg/L (weekly average limit) have been in
the permit since 2008 and are based on waste load allocation (WLA) calculations to protect for ammonia
toxicity. No winter limits have been required. There are no proposed changes as these limits are supported
by current WLA calculations.
TRC limits were added to the permit in 1990 and are based on waste load allocation calculations for
expansion to 13.5 MGD (current permitted flow). These limits are still supported by current WLA
calculations.

Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants
If applicable, conduct RPA analysis and complete information below.
The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality
standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent
effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC
RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero
background; 3) use of/z detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) streamflows used for dilution
consideration based on 15A NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of
dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of
Instream Dissolved Metals Standards, dated June 10, 2016.
A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between March 2016
and March 2020. Pollutants of concern included toxicants with positive detections and associated water
quality standards/criteria. Based on this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for this
permit:
• Effluent Limit with Monitoring. The following parameters will receive a water quality -based
effluent limit (WQBEL) since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable
water quality standards/criteria: None
• Monitoring Only. The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they
did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria,
but the maximum predicted concentration was >50% of the allowable concentration: Copper,
Silver
Copper — One sample (3/8/2016) was 690 ug/L. All other samples were <50% of the
facility's allowable discharge concentration (159.09 ug/L). BPJ.
Silver — All samples reported <5 ug/L. Permittee shall sample to the lowest PQL (1.0
ug/L) to show that they can meet the allowable discharge concentration (1.2 ug/L).
*Note: Both copper and silver are already being monitored quarterly through the facility's
pretreatment program.
• No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since
they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality
standards/criteria and the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable
concentration: Arsenic, Beryllium, Cadmium, Total Phenolic Compounds, Total Chromium,
Cyanide, Lead, Molybdenum, Nickel, Selenium, Zinc
• POTW Effluent Pollutant Scan Review: Three effluent pollutant scans were evaluated for
additional pollutants of concern.
o The following parameter(s) will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL)
with monitoring, since as part of a limited data set, two samples exceeded the allowable
discharge concentration: NA
o The following parameter(s) will receive a monitor -only requirement, since as part of a
limited data set, one sample exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: NA
Attached are the RPA results as well as a copy of the guidance entitled `NPDES Implementation of
Instream Dissolved Metals Standards — Freshwater Standards."
Toxicity Testing Limitations
Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in
accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits
Page 6 of 11
issued to Major facilities or any facility discharging "complex" wastewater (contains anything other than
domestic waste) will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements, with several
exceptions. The State has received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in
NPDES permits, using single concentration screening tests, with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test
failure.
Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: This is a Major POTW, and a chronic WET limit at 5.4%
effluent will continue on a quarterly frequency.
Mercury Statewide TMDL Evaluation
There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply
with EPA's mercury fish tissue criteria (0.3 mg/kg) for human health protection. The TMDL established a
wasteload allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year (81 lb/year), and is applicable to municipals and
industrial facilities with known mercury discharges. Given the small contribution of mercury from point
sources (-2% of total load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MMPs) for point source
control. Municipal facilities > 2 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury (>1 ng/1) will
receive an MMP requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case -by -case basis, depending if mercury is a
pollutant of concern. Effluent limits may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed
the WQBEL value (based on the NC WQS of 12 ng/1) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL
value of 47 ng/1

Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: Effluent mercury data was reviewed
from March 2016 to March 2020. Because no annual average mercury concentration exceeded the
WQBEL and no individual sample exceeded the TBEL, a mercury limit has not been added to the permit.
However, since the facility is > 2 MGD and reported quantifiable levels of mercury (>1 ng/1), a mercury
minimization plan (MMP) has been added to the permit. Annual mercury monitoring has been removed
from the permit, however, the permittee must continue to sample for mercury with the Effluent Pollutant
Scans using EPA method 1631 E.
Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations
If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation
within this permit: NA
Other WQBEL Considerations
If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: NA
If applicable, describe any special actions (HQW or ORW) this receiving stream and classification shall
comply with in order to protect the designated waterbody: NA
If applicable, describe any compliance schedules proposed for this permit renewal in accordance with
1 SA NCAC 2H. 0107(c) (2) (B), 40CFR 122.47, and EPA May 2007 Memo: NA
Page 7 of 11
If applicable, describe any water quality standards variances proposed in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.3(e) and 15A NCAC 2B.0226 for this permit renewal: NA
7. Technology -Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs)
Municipals (if not applicable, delete and skip to Industrials)
Are concentration limits in the permit at least as stringent as secondary treatment requirements (30 mg/1
BOD5/TSS for Monthly Average, and 45 mg/1 for BOD5/TSS for Weekly Average). YES
If NO, provide a justification for alternative limitations (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA
Are 85% removal requirements for BOD5/TSS included in the permit? YES
If NO, provide a justification (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA
8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge)
The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not
degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation
review in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit
must document an effort to consider non -discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.0105(c)(2). In all
cases, existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is
maintained and protected.
If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives
Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: NA
9. Antibacksliding Review
Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(1) prohibit
backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a
reissued permit to be as stringent as those in the previous permit, with some exceptions where limitations
may be relaxed (e.g., based on new information, increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL
limits, or WQBELs may be less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution).
Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit (YES/NO): NO
If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated: NA
10. Monitoring Requirements
Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following
regulations and guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 2B.0500; 2)
NPDES Guidance, Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances (7/15/2010 Memo); 3) NPDES Guidance,
Reduced Monitoring Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance (10/22/2012 Memo); 4) Best
Professional Judgement (BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not
considered effluent limitations under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti -
backsliding prohibitions would not be triggered by reductions in monitoring frequencies.
For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4.
With this permit renewal, the City requested to reduce monitoring frequency of BOD, TSS, Fecal
Coliform, and NH3-N from daily to 2/week. Data was reviewed from May 2017 through May 2020 and
Page 8 of 11
compared against the criteria established in the "DWQ Guidance Regarding the Reduction of Monitoring
Frequencies in NPDES Permits for Exceptionally Performing Facilities". The data justifies reduced
monitoring for these parameters, so this request was granted. The "Data Summary for Reduced NPDES
Permit Monitoring Frequency" is attached to this fact sheet.
11. Electronic Reporting Requirements
The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21, 2015. Effective
December 21, 2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports
(DMRs) electronically. While NPDES regulated facilities would initially be required to submit additional
NPDES reports electronically effective December 21, 2020, EPA extended this deadline from December
21, 2020, to December 21, 2025. The current compliance date, effective January 4, 2021, was extended as
a final regulation change published in the November 2, 2020 Federal Register. This permit contains the
requirements for electronic reporting, consistent with Federal requirements.

15. Fact Sheet Addendum (if applicable)
Were there any changes made since the Draft Permit was public noticed (Yes/No): YES
If Yes, list changes and their basis below: NA
Page 10 of 11
The draft permit was sent to the permittee, EPA Region IV, DWR Winston-Salem Regional Office, DWR
Aquatic Toxicology, DWR Operator Certification, and Virginia DEQ (Allan Brockenbrough). The
permittee was the only party to submit comments. The following changes were made to the draft permit
after the public notice period:
• Based on the City's comments, the facility components list on the Supplement to Permit Cover
Sheet has been updated as follows: replaced the aerobic digester with a CleanB treatment system;
removed the dissolved air flotation (DAF); modified the sludge lagoons to be singular; and
removed the polymer addition.
• The expiration date for the permit has been modified to more closely fit a 5-year permit cycle.
Accordingly, the specified years for the Effluent Pollutant Scans have been modified (2023, 2024,
2025). See Special Condition A. (3.).
• A notation was made concerning the Electronic Reporting Rule — NPDES Electronic Reporting
Rule — Phase 2 Extension. EPA extended the Phase 2 deadline to December 21, 2025 (See Special
Condition A. (5.)).
The following comment from the permittee did not result in a change to the draft permit:
• "Also, for the third bullet item, we would like to note that we are already monitoring silver and
copper for our LTMP, so we would like for both silver and copper to be removed from our
Effluent Limits page."
o Per internal guidance, quarterly monitoring for copper and silver will remain in the
permit. This monitoring does not add any additional requirements to the City since it is
part of the LTMP for pretreatment, but will ensure that the data is collected in the event
that the pretreatment monitoring requirements are modified prior to the expiration of the
NPDES permit.

Dissolved to Total Metal Calculator
Do NOT enter any data directly into this spreadsheet.
Enter data onto 'Table 1" under the Input Sheet and enter
"Effluent Hardness" under the Data Sheet.
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.45 (c ), permits are, have and
must be written as total metals.
This calculator has been inserted into the RPA to calculate
Total Metal allowable allocations once Table 1 has been
completed (Input Sheet) and Effluent hardness has been
entered (Data Sheet).
1) Following the spreadsheet from left to right. First
the allowable allocations for the dissolved metals will
appear for all the metals listed once Table 1 is complete
and effluent hardness entered. Use a default value of 25
mg/L if no hardness data is available. Second
the Dissolved Metal allocations are divided by the
Translators to determine the Total Metals that can be
allocated to the Permittee. These Total Metals values are
automatically inserted into Table 2 and are the allowable
Total Metal allocations determined for the Permittee prior
to allowing for dilution. See Input sheet Table 2. The final
acute and chronic values shown under the RPA sheet are
the Total Metal values listed in Table 2 divided by the
acute and chronic IWC, respectively.
2) The Translators used in the freshwater RPA are the

3) Pretreatment Facilities - PERCS will need a copy of the
Dissolved to Total Metal Calculator spreadsheet and the
RPA sheet along with the Final Permit. Pretreatment
Facilities are required to renew their Headwords Analysis
after renewal of their permits. Since all their metal
allocations are likely to change PERCS needs to see any
new metal permit limits and the allowable allocations for
the dissolved metals to assess Maximum Allowable
Headworks Loading (MARL) numbers for each metal based
on the Combined Hardness values used in the permit
writers RPA calculations.
4) For Cadmium, Lead, Nickel, Chromium and Beryllium, if all
the effluent sampling data for the last three to five years
shows the pollutant at concentrations less than the
Practical Quantitative Level (PQL), it is not likely a limit or
monitoring will be put in the permit. However, if the
estimated NPDES permit limit is less than the Practical
Quantitative Limit (particularly, Cadmium and Lead) and
the pollutant is believed to be present, to assess
compliance with the new standards and for future permit
limit development, monitoring for the pollutant will be
required. If the facility is monitoring for the pollutant in its
Pretreatment LTMP, no monitoring is needed in the

NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards - Freshwater Standards
The NC 2007-2015 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA subsequently
approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016, with some exceptions. Therefore, metal limits in draft
permits out to public notice after April 6, 2016 must be calculated to protect the new standards - as
approved.

General Informatiion on the Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
The RPA process itself did not change as the result of the new metals standards. However, application of
the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the
numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge.
The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream) hardness
and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge.
Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The
discharge -specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA
calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal (more on that
below), but it is also possible to consider case -specific translators developed in accordance with
established methodology.
RPA Permitting Guidance/WQBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater
The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern,
based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based on applicable
standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream.
If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the
discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If
monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e. consistently below
detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit.
1. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the
following information:
• Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10 (the spreadsheet automatically calculates
the 1Q10 using the formula 1Q10 = 0.843 (s7Q10, cfs)°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.
Page 2 of 4
Permit No. NC0025071
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) +(s7Q10, cfs *Avg. Upstream Hardness, mg/L)
(Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q10, cfs)
The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the 1 Q10 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 =
Ctotal
1
1 + { [Kpo] [Ss(1+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 sheet labeled DPCs.
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 s7Q10)
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 s7Q1 0 may be incorporated as applicable:
1 Q 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity
Page 3 of 4
Permit No. NC0025071
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.
