Permit.NC0088722
A. (3) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at n effluent concentration of 52/68%.
The permit holder s all perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphni Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or
"North Carolina Ph se II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent
versions. The tests be performed during the months of January, April, July and October. Effluent sampling for
this testing shall be erformed'at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedur performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit,
then multiple-conce tration 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 havin no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does
have a detectable pairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection
methods, exposure egimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic
Whole Effluent To 'city Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.

eporting 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 'scharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the
Permittee will com lete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility
name, permit numb , 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 Pennittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be
required during the ollowing 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 indude
alternate monitorin requirements or limits.
If the Permittee mo 'tors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such monitoring
shall be included in
e calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT Forms submitted.
NOTE: Failure to chieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism
survival, minimum ontrol 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.

BACKGROUND:
Killian Creek \TWTP is a new facility that will provide services for approximately 34,054 people in
East Lincoln County (serving only domestic type waste).
Speculative limits for the proposed facility were calculated by DWQ on March 18, 2004, the FONSI
was issued onJanuary 18, 2008, and the EAA was approved on February 11, 2008. Effluent
limitations are plemented based on the speculative limit calculations and the permittee's flow
request and justification.
The Division has determined that the proposed Wastewater Treatment Plant is necessary to accommodate
social and economic growth in the area and that it will not result in contravention of surface water quality
standards or loss of designated uses in the receiving stream.
The facility is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by the end of 2010.
ATC for the faclity was issued on December 8, 2010.

RE. Killian Creek WWTP, NPDES Permit NC 0088722 Renewal
Dear Mrs. Sprinkle,
The purpose of this letter is to request renewal of the Killian Creek WWTP NPDES Permit,
NC 0088722, for five more years. This plant is not yet in service but, is under construction.
Construction began on June 1, 2009 and we expect to have this 1.6 mgd plant on line in late
2010. We have filled out the NPDES 2A Application to the extent that we can.
As far as a sludge management plan referred to in your letter, this plant will dispose of the
sludge as a solid, by means of a sludge press. The dried sludge will then be taken to the
county landfill.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
H. Burns Whittaker, PE
Public Works Director
