ACUTE TOXICITY TESTING REQUIREMENT (QRTRLY) Fathead Minnow 24 hr - No Significant Mortality The permitt a shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the North Carol na Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In Single Effluent Concentration". The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test, using effluent collected as a 24 hour composite. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality in any two consecutive toxicity tests is 90% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure d cument). Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained during representativ effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The first test will be performed after thirty days from issuance of this permit during the months of February, May, August and November. All toxicity t sting 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 TGE6C Additionally, DEM Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Environmental Management P.O. Box 27687 Raleigh, N.C. 27611 Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed iniassociaion with the toxicitytests as well as all dose/responsedata. Total resi dual 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 w411 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 either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be reopened 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. A diffuser is required for the outfall. The outfall shall be located as far from SA and HQW waters as possible (approximately 1000 to 1500 feet into the channel, see map) and shall be constructed in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. G. The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment plant. The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a) purgeables (i.e , volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral extractables; (d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and IS 2.r. accompanyipg memo, to be prc • ided to all discharges affected by this Monitoring requirement,. describes the sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant analysis. This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring Requirement" (APAM). 2) Other s gnificant levels of synthetic organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified. For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable, base/neutral extractable, and acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10 i i unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement Reporting rm A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM Reporting F rm A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as the "10 significant peaks rule". James G.

Evereu, Ph.D. William W. Cobey, Jr., Secretary Director April 16, 1991 Mr. David L. Lane PO Box 1842 Nags Head, NC 27959 Subject: NPDES Permit No. NC0079057 Town of Manteo' flare County Dear Mr. Lane: I wanted to respond to your letter of March 18, 1991 containing comments on the draft permit for NPDES Permit No. NC0079057. The Division believes that the new permit will allow improvement of water quality in Shallowbag Bay for the following reasons : (1) The riown of Manteo is still discharging to Shallowbag Bay under NPDES Permit No. NC0025488. This old permit with a 0.25 MGD flow has only secondary treatment limits of 30.0 mg/1 BOD5 and 30.0 mg/1 total suspended residue with no NH3 as N (ammonia nitrogen) limit. This permit also contains a fecal coliform limit of 1000.0/ 100 ml and a pH limit of 6.8 to 8.5 No instream monitoring is required. The proposed permit of 1.0 MGD has tertiary limits of 5.0 mg/1 (summer) and 10.0 mg/1 (winter) BOD5, 2.0 mg/1 (summer) and 4.0 mg/1 (winter) NH3 as N, and 30.0 mg/1 total suspended residue. The permit also contains a fecal coliform limit of 14.0/ 100 ml, a total residual chlorine limit of 17.0 µg/1 (0.017 ppm), a pH limit of 6.8 to 8.5, an acute toxicity limit, an annual pollutant analysis, and has two upstream and three downstream monitoring points. Even at a flow of 1.0 MGD the total load of BOD5 and NH3 as N to Shallowbag Bay will be reduced. The 17.0110 chlorine limit is very restrictive because low levels are necessary to protect aquatic life in the bay. To meet this low level the plant will have to dechlorinate the wastewater. (2) The Division of Environmental Management does not believe that the water classification for Shallowbag Bay would be changed from SC to SA even if the current discharge was removed because of the presence of stormwater, marinas, and urban development in the Manteo area. • Pollution Prevention Pays P.O.

Box 769 • Morehead City, North Carolina 28557-0769 William T Hogarth, Director (919) 726-7021 11 March 1991 Mr. George T. Everett, Director Division of Environme tal Management c----- ief irector NPDES Permit No. NC0079057 - Town of Manteo The N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries has received the public notice of intent to issue a NPDES permit to the Town of Manteo. This permit for the facility proposes a discharge of 1.0 MGD of treated domestic and industrial waste water from one outfall into Shallowbag Bay, a Class SC stream. This agency objects to the issuance of this permit based on the following reasons. Shallowbag Bay serves as a nursery area for spot, croaker, spotted seatrout, weakfish, shrimp, blue crabs, and other commercially and recreationally important species. An oyster resource exists in the area, but presently cannot be harvested due to the water classification/closure. These oysters, however, produce spat that may enhance the adjacent areas. Doughs Creek and Scarborough Creek, tributaries to Shallowbag Bay, are designated Primary Nursery Areas (PNA) and classified as High Quality Waters (HQW). Shallowbag Bay serves as a "Secondary Nursery Area" (SNA) though not officially designated. Since 1989, Shallowbag Bay has been pending "SA" upgraded from "SC" and is dependent solely on the removal of the discharge. The increased diffusion into Shallowbag Bay may eventually result in future degradation of the adjacent "SA" waters of Roanoke Sound. 1 dt APR le1991 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Fits MP/ 11 March 1991 Memorandum To: Mr. George T. Everett Page 2 The I!MF understands that the chlorine residual allowed in the effluent will be 1.17 ppm. Research indicates that this level of chlorine is lethal to shrimp larvae, and probably to blue crab larvae as well. Blue crabs support the most important fishery of the Roanoke-Croatan sounds area, and Shallowbag Bay is an extremely important producer of blue crabs, as well as a major nursery area. In addition, the effluent limit of 1.0 million gallons per day is four times the present volume. What will be the dilution effects of this increased fresh water flow into the estuarine system? These two issues of larval mortality caused by chlorine residual and dilution o estuarine waters by fresh water should be addressed before issuance o any NPDES permit.

FROM: Ruth Swanek SUBJECT: City of Manteo's Proposed Expansion NPDES No. NC0079057 Dare County Per your recent request, I have compiled some information regarding the proposed expansion of the Manteo WWTP to 1 MGD. I have attached a copy of a topographical map (Attachment 1) indicat- ing where the existing Manteo discharge is and where the proposed outfall would be. The proposed outfall location was determined by DEM after consulting with Shellfish Sanitation and Marine Fisheries (see Attachment 2 memo dated July 23). The proposed outfall should be an improvement over the exist- ing discharge for many reasons. First, the proposed facility has been assigned very stringent limits which will result in reduced loading to Shallowbag Bay. A comparison of the existing and pro- posed Manteo discharge limits is given below: Year Round Summer Winter Parameter Existing Proposed Proposed Flow (MGD) 0.25 1 1 BOD5 (mg/1) 30 5 10 NH3-N (mg/1) NL 2 4 DO (mg/1) NL 6 6 TSS (mg/1) 30 30 30 Fecal Coliform (#/100 ml) 1000 14 14 pH (SU) 6.8-8.5 6.8-8.5 6 8-8.5 Chlorine (ug/1) NL 17 17 These limits correspond to the following summer permitted loadings for BOD5 and ammonia: ••• Existing Proposed‘' % Decrease 62.6 41:7 •': • 33 41.7 16.7 60 GODS (lb/d) NH3-N (lb/d) The reader should note that an ammonia concentration of.20 mg/1 was assumed for the existing permitted load. .However, the compliance data indicate that the facility can meet:'11.mg/1 which results in • an ammonia loading of 22.9 lb/day. The proposed outfall still has a reduced load, but of only 27%. The above limits also indicate that there should be less impact to the shellfish in the area due to the low fecal coliform limit assigned to the facility. In addition, the waste should be less toxic since a chlorine limit of 17 ug/1 was assigned. The current acility has no limit, and compliance data indicate that daily values can be as high as 3500 ug/l. In addition to the chlorine limit, the proposed facility will be required to pass an acute quarterly toxicity test. Finally, the new dissolved oxygen limit should be beneficial to water quality. In addition to receiving more stringent limits, the proposed Manteo o tfall will receive the waste of a proposed outfall known as Roano a Properties or Pirates Cove. The NPDES permit for Roan- oke Prop rties expired April 30, 1990, but may have been renewed if the Manteo discharge was not planned. Roanoke Properties had the followin7 limits: Parameter Limit Flow (MGD) 0.1 BOD5 (mg/1) 30 TSS (mg/1) 30 pH (SU) 6-9 Fec 1 Coliform (#/100 ml) 1000 Therefor, if Roanoke Properties had renewed its NPDES permit, loading would have been further reduced. Fin lly, the proposed Manteo permit contains other clauses which ma a it more stringent than the current permit. The Town will be required to monitor at 5 locations within Shallowbag Bay as well as monitor its effluent. Currently, effluent monitoring only is required of the facility. The facility must also consist of a dual train treatment process with standby power in order to prevent the need to bypass untreated wastewater during plant upsets. Technical Support believes that the proposed discharge will be an improvement from the existing outfall if the final NPDES permit contains the stringent permit limits, instream monitoring, and standby ower.

Thorpe, Water uality Regional Supervisor Washington Regional Office SUBJECT: Wasteload Allocation Town of Manteo Dare County By copy of this memo we are returning the wasteload allocation for the Town of Manteo to the Technical Support Branch unsigned. The Regional Office does not recommend the expansion of Manteo's discharge in Shallowbag Bay. There is very little lunar tide effect in this bay; therefore, there is poor flushing. Even with advance treatment, it is felt that there is a high potential for dissolved oxygen violations. If there are unfavorable wind conditions over an extended period, there may be dissolved oxygen violations due to either the organic material in the wastewater or algae that is produced as a result of the nutrients in the discharge. There is also the potential for toxic effects from the fresh water on the two primary nursery areas at the head of the Bay. A diffused discharge out into the Bay would be a better situation than a bank discharge; however, it is felt that water quality standard violations would still be likely under worst case conditions.

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT July 24, 1990 MEMORANDUM TO: Bobby Blowe, Construction Grants THROUGH: Trevor Clements - FROM: Ruth Swanekl0 SUBJECT: Town of Manteo Discharge location in Shallowbag Bay NPDES No. NC0079057 Dare County I have attached a copy of a topographical map which indicates the preferred discharge location for the Town of Manteo's proposed 1 MGD outfall into Shallowbag Bay. The site was reviewed by mem- bers of the Environmental Sciences Branch, the Washington Regional Office, the Division of Marine Fisheries, and Shellfish Sanitation. You will note that the site is a description along a line to allow some flexibility in light of other potential constraints. DEM would like to have the outfall as close to the center of the Bay as possible. However, the Town must determine what distance the outfall must be from the navigation channel to allow for the safe passage of boats. There may also be a minimum distance required by the Coast Guard or other parties interested in navigation, and the Town should investigate any pertinent rules or laws. The Town will be required to bury the pipe at a depth great enough to prevent damage from trawlers in the Bay from the shore- line to the outfall, and they will also be required to mark the actual outfall location with a light. As soon as the wasteload allocation is finalized, I will for- ward you a copy. I anticipate completion by next week. If you have any question;, x�ension 507. _ a chment E. Leo Green, F.T.

There are no hydraulics studies on Shallowbag Bay, and staff of the Division of Environmental Man- agement *re asked to determine where the best outfall site for the proposed Manteo outfall would be. Staff of the Environmental Sciences tranch who were familiar with the area met and proposed an outfall site. The chosen site and reasoning are presented in the attachedletter to Harrel Johnson of Marine Fisheries. Harrel was asked to evaluate the site we proposed. He and his staff thought that the site proposed by DEM was as good as any if we could not ask Mantep to perform hydraulics studies on the system before issuing them a permit. Due to the timing of Construction Grants funding, it was not possible to make this request. Harrell also thought that the outfall should not be moved further into the Bay since individuals did trowl out in the Bay even though it is closed to shellfishing. The proposed discharge site was evaluated by Steve Vohs and Ben Midget of Shellfish Sanitation in Manteo. They said that the proposed outfall site should not result in a closure of shellfish- ing area in Roanoke Sound. However, they requested that the out - fall be buried since there is a shrimp trowling area nearby. They also requested that the actual outfall location be clearly marked with a light. The Washington Regional Office (WRO) was also asked to evaluate the site. The WRO thought the site should be moved fur- ther out into the Bay since flushing may be better out there. All the parties agreed that mixing is probably better further out in the Bay, but did not want to risk closing the existing shellfish area in Roanoke Sound. Therefore, a second outfallsitewas sent to Bob Benton of Shellfish Sanitation in Morehead City since he evaluates closure lines (see letter of July 16). He stated that the new proposed outfall site should not effect the closure line and thoug1it that it was better to move the outfall out into the Bay than to put it at the original proposed site. The second site noted is a description rather than a specific point. This is because everyone felt that the outfall should be near the center of the Bay, but were not sure how far the outfall should be from the dredged channel to allow for safe navigation. The Town of Manteo will be responsible for contacting the Coast Guard or any other party who has jurisdiction over the navigation routes to determine the required safety distance.

Box 769 Morehead City, NC 28557 Subject: Dear Mr. Town of Manteo's Proposed 1 MGD WWTP into Shallowbag Bay NPDES No. NC0079057 Dare County enton: As yu may be aware, the Town of Manteo has requested an NPDES permit for a 1 MGD discharge into Shallowbag Bay. This discharge will replace its current 0.25 MGD WWTP, its 0.125 MGD rotary dis- tributor Isystem, and the 0.10 MGD proposed Pirates Cove discharge. The Director of the Division of Environmental Management (DEM) has stated that this permit request will be granted, and therefore, a wasteload allocation approval form was recently completed for the facility. Since there are concerns regarding the flushing characteris- tics of the bay, the proximity to shellfishing and primary nursery areas, and the level of uncertainty associated with the assimila- tive capacity of the receivingwater, very stringent limits have been recommended for the facility (Attachment 1). You should note that both the Manteo and Pirates Cove discharges currently have secondary limits in their NPDES permits (i.e. 30 mg/1 BOD5, and no ammonia 14.mit). In addition they have solids limits of 30 mg/1, fecal coliform of 1000 /100 mi (would change to 200 upon permit renewal), and no toxicity limit. Therefore, the increased flow may not have very detrimental impacts on the system if the new plant is capable of meeting the advanced tertiary limits recommended. One of the final decisions which needs to be made concerning the proposed discharge is the exact site where it should be located. Originally, a point approximately 1000 feet off the shore was proposed (see attachment) in order to keep the discharge as far from the Open shellfish areas of Roanoke Sound as possible. How- ever, mixing will be better further out in the bay. Therefore, another s to has been proposed and is also marked on the attached Pollution Prevcndon Pays P.O.

The Washington Regional Office is providing comments under separate cover. Ruth Swanek's comments, attached, identify several issues that need to be addressed including the effects of this project on proposed and nearby existing SA waters; impacts of increased freshwater into Shallowbag Bay; and cost comparisons between the discharge and nondischarge alternatives taking into account long term monitoring and facility class. It should also be noted that the Town has recently submitted an application for a 1.0 MGD Discharge Permit, at the recommendation of the Director. This exceeds the size of the discharge facility described in the 201 document by 0.4 MGD. Accordingly, it is recommended that the EA in the 201 document be revised, as needed, to describe and assess the impacts that would be associated with a 1.0 MGD facility. This would eliminate the need to produce a second EA to address the 0.4 difference. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either Ruth or me.

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT June 18, 1990 MEMORANDUM TO: Alan Clark THROUGH: Trevor Clements�y��� FROM: Ruth Swanek RCS SUBJECT: Town of Manteo 201 Facilities Plan I have reviewed the 201 Facilities Plan for the Town of Manteo and offer the following comments: 1. I agree with the statement that the selected alternative will have a positive impact on the dissolved oxygen concentra- tion in Shallowbag Bay since it will include the flow from the Pirate's Cove discharge and the existing Manteo discharges. The new facility will be receiving advanced tertiary limits while the existing dischargers to the bay have secondary lim- its. However, there will be an increase in permitted flow to the pay, and the freshwater input from the wastewater may have a toxic impact on the marine environment. Little is known about the flow and flushing patterns in Shallowbag Bay, and the wind could drive the wastewater into the primary nursery areas (PNAs) of Doughs Creek and Scarboro Creek. In addition, Sha4owbag Bay drains to Roanoke Sound which is classified as SA waters. The 201 plan did not adequately address the pro- ximity of the selected discharge point to these high quality waters. In addition, the Town had requested that Shallowbag Bay be reclassified to SA waters, and the 201 plan did not address the implications of the selected alternative on the reclassification. The proximity to high quality waters should be adequately addressed before the land application alterna- tives are discarded. 2. The 201 plan evaluates a 0.6 MGD WWTP while the permit application requested a wasteload allocation for a 1.0 MGD plant. 3. The 201 plan does not state what the assumed water quality limits were for evaluating the different alternatives. 4. The only costs considered in the operation and maintenance costs section were the ,operator salary, FICA, insurance, and retirement. A non -discharge alternative may have lower cost depending on monitoring requirements and the facility's class. If you have any questions or comments, please call me at extension 507.

MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT June 5, 1990 Manteo WLA File Shallowbag Bay - 030151 Dare County Ruth Swanek Proposed 1 MGD Outfall Addendum to May 21, 1990 memo This memo is intended to explain how the limits were derived for the non -oxygen consuming wastes for the proposed Manteo facil- ity. Total Sus ended Solids A TS limit of 10 was mg/1 assigned due to the proximity to g g the high ality waters in Roanoke Sound, Scarboro Creek, and Doughs Creek. Both Scarboro Creek and Doughs Creek are primary nursery areas (PNAs), and 15 NCAC 2B.0201.d.1.B.ii requires a TSS limit of 10 mg/1 in PNAs for new facilities. Although the proposed discharge is not directly to these waters, the tides and wind will drive the effluent up into these channels. Fecal Coliform The ecal coliform limit of 14 /100 ml was assigned due to the proximity to SA waters in Roanoke Sound. Toxicity Due Scarboro assigned assigned o the proximity to high quality waters (Roanoke Sound, reek, Doughs Creek), a chronic limit at 99% was also .o the facility. An acute fathead minnow 24 hour test was per Division procedure for facilities in tidal waters.

TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT May 21, 1990 Manteo WLA File Shallowbag Bay - 030151 Dare County Ruth Swanek Proposed 1 MGD outfall The Technical Support Branch received a WLA request for the Town of Manteo on April 12, 1990. The Town has requested an NPDES permit to discharge 1 MGD of wastewater into Shallowbag Bay, clas- sified a SC waters and located in the Pasquotank River Basin. The Town has been pursuing a reclassification of the waters from SC to SA, by c anging its current outfall (Shallowbag Bay) to a land application system. According to staff of Construction Grants, the Town is 7unning into problems with its proposed land application system. Due to the nature of the soils in the area, the wastewater will lea h into SA waters with little treatment. Therefore, the Town has decided to pursue an outfall into Shallowbag Bay which will include flow from its current 0.25 MGD outfall into Shallowbag Bay, its 0.125 MGD rotary distribution system, and the 0.10 MGD Pirates Cove discharge (a.k.a. Roanoke Properties). Alan Wahab of Construction Grants believes that the Town is still interested in pursuing a reclassification to SB waters for Shallowbag Bay. The Georgia Estuary Model (GAEST - version 2.1) was used to evaluate the discharge. GAEST is a steady state, one dimensional analysis of tidally affected coastal waters for review of dissolved oxygen. the model is segmented, unbranched, and tidally aver- aged. The model for Shallowbag Bay was segmented to account for changes in width (see hand written notes). Two different scenarios were evaluated (see notes). The width and length of each segment were measired on the topographical map, and the depth was estimated from the ontour lines on the topo map. The cross -sectional areas and volumes were then calculated using the estimated measurements. Arabi nt data were pulled from stations in Croatan and Roanoke Sounds (s ations 0208117950 and 0208117975 respectively) to obtain estimates of temperature, chloride, and salinity. Since there is little freshwater flow into the Bay, the chlorides and salinity measurements should be similar to those outside the Bay. There- fore, concentrations similar to the average ones in Roanoke Sound were inpu . The 75th percentile temperature at both sites (29 C) was also 'nput for each model segment. Various CBOD and NBOD oxidation rates were input to the model, and the final ones used were 0.1 /day with no settling. The reaerration rate used was estimated from the equation 2/Depth. It was assumed that the average depth was 5 feet which resulted in a reaeration rate of 0.4 /day. This reaeration rate seems low for a bay since it should be highly influenced by the wind. However, staff of the Washington Regional Office stated that there are times when the water is very calm. So this rate may reflect a worst case condition. The initial SOD rate input was 2.5 g/sq m/day based on a review of 2-3 g as 0 in dipersio. Roy Burk tem. of data in North Carolina which indicates an average SOD sq m/day. The net photosynthesis to respiration was input rder to provide a conservative estimate. Finally, the rate input was 0.1 sq mi/day based on a conversation with of Georgia who stated that it should be low in that sys- The model results indicated that DO violations would occur without ny wastewater entering the system at the above rates. However, very little change was predicted in the DO minimum concentration (0.06 mg/1) when the wasteflow (1 MGD) was assigned secondar4 limits. The model was sensitive to SOD, reaeration, and salinity which affects the DO saturation. The different model seg- mentation scenarios did not have a large impact on dissoved oxygen concentrations. Since no field data existed to test these model assumptidns, it was decided that the facility should receive limit which re lect technology. In addition, the facility was assigned a fecal co iform limit of 14 due to the proximity to SA waters. The Washington Regional Office does not support the proposed Manteo WWITP. Staff there also indicated that Scarboro Creek is a primary nursery area (PNA). Review of the high quality waters list revealed that both Scarboro Creek and Doughs Creek are classified as HQW due to being PNAs. Therefore, the discharge should beout into the Bay to avoid harm to these areas, but as far as possible from Wm:: waters. It appears that a discharge point 1000-1500 feetshore should be the best site.

T n eatment plant classification: (Less than 5 points rating; include rating sheet.) 7. SC Code(s): 9199 Wastewater Code(s): Primary 01 Secondary OMB AM PART 7I -- OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION 1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction G ant Funds (municipal only)? yes 2. Sp cial monitoring requests: a. The type sediment which makes up the bottom of the bay ha yet to be defined. It is to be noted that if much of the bottom is of the organic "muck" type bottom which has a high sediment oxygen demand one could expect dissolved oxygen violations during much of the summer months without the proposed discharge. It is important to know and understand exactly how the discharge is affeCting the bay with respect to dissolved oxygen within the hater column. Therefore, it is the Regions recommendation that the facility be required to perform an exte lsive monitoring program within the mixing zone and outsf.de the mixing zone to measure the impact of the effluent with respect to dissolved oxygen. b. The facility should not be allowed to discharge into the bay when conditions with respect to D.O. are not favorable. c. The proposed discharge and Shallowbag Bay are located immediately adjacent to designated PNA waters. It is to be noted that fresh water in a salt water marine envi'onment is TOXIC to most of the marine organisms. Litt e is known of the flow and flushing patterns within the ay. The proposed WWTP will be permitted for the disp sal of one million gallons per day of wastewater whic is fresh water. The facility should be required to perf rm monitoring with respect to salinity in the areas adja ent to the PNA waters and within the PNA waters. d. he facility is proposing to disinfect the wastewater with UV lights. UV disinfection effectiveness is limited give a wastewater contaminated with an unusual amount of solids. Given the close proximity to SA waters and the facility's history of washing solids from the clarifier into the bay the Region recommends that the facility provides some type of an alternative for disinfecting the wastewater. 3. Additional effluent limits requested: The Region recommends that the WWTP be a tertiary plant regardless of the p rmit limits. 4. 0 allow prese diffu her: Under no circumstances should the Town be d to discharge from a shoreline discharge as tly proposed. The discharge, if permitted should be ed and located in a channel in deep water and in no case be located in shallow water near the shoreline. PART IV -- EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The R'gional office does not recommend issuing the permit for a discharge into Shallowbag Bay. As proposed the point of discharge will be immediately adjacent to the mouth of Scarboro Creek which is a Primary Nursery Area and d fined as all waters south of a line beginning at a point on the east shore 35-39-33 W running 246 degrees(M) IC• to a point on the west shore 35- 53'-59" N - 75-39'-36"W. This is a bay area with poor flushing. Even with advanced treatment it is felt that dissolved oxygen violations could result in addition to the potential toxic impacts of the additional fresh water from the discharge on the marine organisms in the PNA waters. There is very little lunar tide effects in this bay. Therefore the only way the wastewater will be flushed out of the bay is by wind actibn . If there is unfavorable wind action over an extended period there may be dissolved oxygen violations due to either the organic material in the wastewater or algae that is produced by the nutrients in the discharge. Unf a orable winds and currents can form fresh water curthins and push them into the PNA areas, thus causing a toxiity problem with respect to fresh water in a salt wate environment. A di fused discharge out into the bay would be a better situ,tion than a bank discharge, however, it is felt that dissolved oxygen violations and toxicity with respect to fresh water intruding into the PNA's would still be likely.
