Old Fort,North Carolina 28762
Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance
Permit No. NC0021229
Old Fort W WTP
McDowell County
Dear Mayor Stafford:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between
North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently
amended.)
The Division has evaluated the permit request for the expansion of the Old Fort WWTP to 1.6
MGD. The primary reason for the expansion from 1.2 MGD to 1.6 MGD was the request from Excel
Finishing for an additional 0.275 MGD of wastenow. Staff has been informed that in early September
2000, Excel Finishing ceased production and closed the plant. Therefore, the additional 0.275 MGD is
no longer.needed. In addition, the preliminary engineering report contained no projections for-20-year+ � - -
residential and commercial growth for Old Fort. These data need to be considered for an accurate
assessment of the necessity of expanded now. The Division has determined that, based on the
information submitted and the closing of the Excel Finishing plant, the issuance of an effluent page for
1.6 MGD at this time is not adequately justified.
The following modifications have been made to the permit:
• Limits have been given for cadmium and cyanide and continued effluent monitoring is
required for copper and zinc. Per Division procedure, weekly average and daily maximum
-- -limits for cadmium and cyanide must be met.
• A mercury limit is needed in the permit based on an evaluation of submitted monitoring data.
DWO will recommend a twelve month compliance schedule, where mercury will be monitored
trice per month while Old Fort determines the sources and methods of collection and analysis
techniques for mercury. After twelve months, a daily maximum limit of 0.044 ug/1 will become

• effective in-the permit. During the twelve month compliance schedule, if-all reported values
for mercury are below detection, the Town of Old Fort can request that the imposition of a
mercury limit be re-evaluated by the Division.
• Note that the 85% removal condition for TSS has been modified in the final permit. Based on
three years effluent data submitted by Mr. Jackie Blalock, the Division has reevaluated this
condition for Old Fort. Due to the volume of industrial wastewater into the treatment plant
and the determination that the Old Fort W WTP does not have excessive inflow and infiltration
contributing to this situation, the revised percent removal for TSS will be 70%.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you,you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days
following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter
I50B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such a demand is made, this permit shall be
final and binding.
Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. The Division may require modification or
revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other
permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land
Resources, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other Federal or Local governmental permits may be
required.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Jacquelyn Nowell at
telephone number [phone],extension 512.

The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality uceriodophnia dubia at an effluent
concentration of 28.0%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum,quarlerly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the"North CarolinaCeriodophnia Chronic
Effluent Bioassay Procedure."Revised February 1998,or subsequent versions or"North Carolina Phase 11 Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised-February 1998)or subsequent versions. The tests will be performedduring 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 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 11 Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure'(Revised-February 1998)or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as pan of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-I) 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,

Permit Notes
NCO021229
DWQ responses to draft permit comments
Note to file: permit did not get noticed by the McDowell County newspaper in on October 11,2000. It did
not get re-noticed until January 17,2001.
In the 1/17/01 draft permit, recommended a twelve month compliance schedule where mercury will
be monitored twice per month while Town determines the sources and methods of collection and
analysis techniques for mercury. After twelve months, a daily max. limit of 0.044 ug/1 will become
effective in the permit. During the twelve month compliance schedule, if all reported values for
mercury are below detection,the Town can request that the imposition of a mercury limit be re-
evaluated by the Division. ARO recommended a compliance schedule for the mercury limit and
Town was amenable.
On January 19,2001, received letter from Jackie Blalock on the 1/17 draft permit. Commented on the
85%removal for TSS. Sent 1995 letter from the Division that waived the condition. Also sent influent and
effluent TSS. Town requested that based on the data,the TSS 85%removal requirement be removed or
reduced to 65%. I reviewed the influent and effluent data. Town averaged<85%removal in 1998 with a
value of 78%removal, in 1999 averaged 87%removal, averaged 89%removal in 2000. A major industry
closed down in Sept. 2000, Oct. and Nov. percent removals for TSS were 81%and 75%. EPA regulation
40 CFR 133.103 (d)allows relief from the 85%removal if 1)the%removal cannot be met due to less
concentrated wastewater; 2) if to meet the 85%removal,the facility would have to meet significantly more
stringent limitation than would otherwise be achieved. Old Fort's average TSS is 10.4 mg/I ; 3) if the less
concentrated influent ww is not the result of excessive 1/1. Inflow is nonexcessive if the total flow to the
POTW is less than 275 gallons per capita per day. Gallons per capita per day is domestic baseflow+
infiltration + inflow.
Calculations for gallons per capita per day
Avg. Qw for year 2000=502,200 GPD
Industrial Flow to plant= 171, 298 GPD(from Pisgah Yam & Dye, and Parker Hosiery Co.)
Domestic flow would be average flow—industrial flow=330,902 GPD.
Population served by W WTP— 1534
Gallons per capita per day = 330,902 GPD= 215.7
1534 persons
215.7 <275 Inflow is non-excessive
The average influent TSR for the past three years is 90.6 mg/I. Average effluent TSR is 12.6 mg/I and the
average removal of 86%. Old Fort's argument is that influent TSR will continue to decrease and it will
be harder to meet the 85%removal in the future. The average %removal of the nine months in 1998—
2000,that Old Fort did not meet the removal requirement was 74%.
2/6/01 -After a lengthy telephone conversation,with Jackie Blalock, we negotiated the percent
removal for TSR of 700/6, the midpoint of the 74% average of the failures and the 65% removal that
the Town requested. Told Mr. Blalock that 70% removal for TSR will be placed in the final permit.
BOD5 would keep the 85% removal requirement.

10/18/00—Telecon from Jackie Blaylock regarding his draft permit. Had these comments that he will be
submitting in writing.
1. At the last permit renewal, Old Fort had requested a waiver on the 85%removal for TSS and DWQ
had granted it to them. Because the influent is basically textile waste, influent TSS is very low and
85%removal is not achievable. It was waived by DWQ.
2. 1 had told him that instream fecal coliform and conductivity monitoring would be waived. I found out
that this applies only to 100%domestic facilities and not major municipalities. Therefore, it will
remain in the Old Fort permit.
3. Upstream and downstream temperature should be weekly, instead of daily.
4. Weekly average and daily max. limits for metals, in essence they have just a daily max. limits because
they will only sample 1 time a week. It's an average of 20 days before they get lab results back.
Also question the results that they get from labs. Had lab run a sample twice and had a 0.11 ug/I
difference in the two results. That kind of error can have Old Fort in noncompliance with limits.
5. Hg limit is very low and puts Old Fort injeopardy of noncompliance with any hits. With industries
and how they dispose of waste anything could come into the sewer system. Sludge results were<0.25
ug/I for Hg on 2/23/2000.

Subject:Town of Old Fort's draft NPDES permit No. NCO021229 ,
Mrs. Nowell,
In the NPDES permit draft you sent me January 10'", 2001 included the standard 85%
removal requirement for TSS.
On June 23`d, 1992 the Town of Old Fort was granted a waiver for the 85% removal
revirements for TSS by the North Carolina Attorney General and issued a permit on July
15` , 1992 and again April 281h, 1995 with no 85% removal requirements, see enclosure
for support documents.
Included with this letter are TSS Data summaries of two SIU, Old Fort POTW
Influent and Effluent values that explain the reason for the Old Fort Influent low TSS
concentrations.
In the first eight months of 2000 we would have been compliant if the 85% removal
had been in effect. But after one of our major contributors closed their operations in
August 2000 we would have been in noncompliance three out of four of the remaining
months September, October and November. In December most of the industry was down
for a week due to the holidays and we received only domestic waste through this period
resulting in higher TSS average for that month.
Based on the support data and the Influent waste stream characteristics the Town of
-D121 Fort requests that the TSS 85%removal requirement be removed from our NPDES
4,he reduced to a 65% removal requirement.

Subject: Town of Old Fort's draft NPDES permit No. NCO021229
Mrs. Nowell,
In the NPDES permit draft you prepared and,sent me October I 11h, 2000 you included the
standard 85% removal requirement for BOD and TSS. This requirement was removed in
the permit issued April 28th, 1995, see cover page to permit enclosed with this letter.
BOD is not an issue in so much as the TSS removal requirement. The Old Fort POTW
influent is mostly textile dye and prepared waste with very low TSS values.
The Old Fort POTW has been below the 85% removal on most occasions in the past five
years but if one month we have a very low Influent TSS and a Effluent TSS of 12 to 14
mg/L we could be noncompliant due to circumstances beyond our control even though
we produced a good Effluent. Based on these conditions we would request that the 85%
removal requirement be removed in the new NPDES permit.
In the NPDES permit draft you have a monitoring requirement and limits for Mercury. In
the phone conversation I had with you, you stated that this was based on the one Mercury
value I had when I was doing L.T.M. for head works analysis. Enclosed with this letter is
a copy of the Influent and Effluent L.T.M. and a copy of the 2000 and 1999 annually
sludge analysis. These sludge samples were composited from 150 to 200 tons of bulk
final product that was stored on the storage pad at the bioresiduals management facility.
The results of the Mercury analysis TCLP method was below detection levels and total
Mercury CVAAS method was only 0.8% of the montly average ceiling concentrations
limits of the class A bioresiduals permit No. WQOO 11260. These composite sludge
samples are representative of the bulk of the sludge produced by the Old Fort PTOW in
the years 1999 and 2000.
Based on this analysis the Town of Old Fort requests the monitoring requirement and the
limit for Mercury be removed from the NPDES permit.
"Colonial America's Western Outpost Until 1756"

In the permit Limits and monitoring requirements you have Daily maximum limits for
cadmium 2.1 ug/L and cyanide 22.0 ug/L with a weekly average limit for cadmium of 1.5
ug/L and cyanide 18.0 ug/L. The monitoring frequency for these two parameter are
one/week. The Town of Old Fort has to have this analysis done by a contract laboratory
and the standard turn around time is about 20 days from the time I collect the samples
until the time I get a report from the lab on the analysis. By collecting one sample per
week the Daily Max and the weekly average would be the same. The Town of Old Fort
requests that the weekly average limits for cadmium and cyanide be changed to a
monthly average because this would be an average of 4 to 5 sampling event's as opposed
to an average of one.
If you have questions or require any additional information about this matter please
contact the writer at phone number 828-668-4561.

Dear Mayor Stafford:
In accordance with your application for discharge permit received on October 10, 1994, we
are forwarding herewith the subject state - NPDES permit. This permit 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.
In a letter dated March 16, 1995, Danny B. Bridges, P.E., of McGill Associates, P.A.,
requested on the behalf of the Town that the proposed treatment facility expansion be re-rated to a
Class III facility instead of a Class IV facility and that the "after expansion" monitoring
requirements be revised to be consistent with Class III requirements. Agreement was reached
during a March 20, 1995 meeting between the Town and staff from the Asheville Regional Office
to construct the proposed expansion such that it will be a Class III facility. The monitoring
requirements have been modified to be consistent with this rating. Please note that should the
proposed facility be constructed such that it is a Class IV treatment plant your permit will be
modified to include appropriate Class IV monitoring requirements as contained in the draft permit.
In a letter dated March 21, 1995 Mr. Bridges also requested that the requirement that the

Mr. Bolden:
The 85% removal requirement for BOD:S and TSS was waived in the Town's
new NPDES Permit. The permit becomes effective June 1 , 1995. The monitoring
requirements for Influent sampling were left in the permit.
The Town of Old Fort uses a contract laboratory "Pace, Inc." for the analysis
of this type of samples. The annually cost for this analysis will be $3,900.00.
The Old Fort POTW has two portable composite samplers. If we have to sample
Influent and Effluent three (3) times per week, this will require both samplers
in use at the POTW.
We have five S.I.U. 's that discharge into the Town's POTW and we need one
sampler to do pretreatment sampling.
If we have to do Influent monitoring at the waste treatment plant, we will
have to buy a third sampler at a cost of $2400.00.
We have done and will continue to do long term Headwork's analysis on
Influent and Effluent and the SIU's submitted monthly reports on BODS and TSS
and they contribute 85% of the total waste load, so we would know what the
characteristics of the waste load is from these analysis.
If the Influent analytical data will not be used to judge NPDES compliance and
is not reviewed or tracked by DEM, the Town of Old Fort respectfully requests the
Influent monitoring requirements be removed from the NPDES Permit.
Sincerely,

SUMMARY OF FACILITY INFORMATION AND WASTELOAD ALLOCATION
Old Fort is renewing the NPDES permit and requesting a modification from 1.2 MGD to 1.6
MGD. Pretreatment information indicates that wastewater constituency is 87% domestic and
13% industrial. The facility discharges into Curtis Creek, which has a stream classification of
C- Trout. Curtis Creek is not listed on the 303d list for the Catawba River Basin.
Excel Finishing has indicated that they will be expanding their textile dveing operation and will
have approximately 275,000 GPD of additional flows. In order to accornmodafc this (low, Old
Fort will expand their existing 1.2 MGD plant to 1.6 MGD. (Compliance evaltTation analysis
report shows wasteflow as 0.8 MGD, however the NPDES Unit issued an ATC for;expansion to
1.2 MGD in November 1995. An engineering certification for iMe pxbansion�to 1.2 MGD was
sent to DWQ on May 20, 1998.)
' J i
The existing 12-inch gravity sewer line does not have the hydraulic capacity to handle peak
flows and has overflowed. There is also groundwater infiltration into the collection system.
The town will construct new 24-inch gravity sewer line to increase the capacity of the collection
system and reduce groundwater infiltration. There will be upgrades in the WWTP whenever the
facility expands.
Correspondence file - 1/30/98 - Notification of Sewer moratorium - due to inability of
the municipal sewer system to convey the wastewater to the WWTP without overflowing
to the ground or discharging untreated wastewater into State surface waters. This was
effective March 19, 1998
10/4/00 - Telecon with Town's ORC confirmed that Excel Finishing had closed in early
September 2000. This was the primary reason that Old Fort was requesting the
expansion to 1.6 MGD. WWTP currently operating at 50% capacity. Upon review of PER,
facility had not provided 20 year projections for residential and commercial growth.
Adequate,justification had not been provided for the expansion considered they had just
expanded to 1.2 MGD less than two years ago. Will recommend renewal at 1.2 MGD only.

Reasonable Potential Analysis: Reviewed data from 1999 and 1998, existing monitoring for
cyanide, cadmium, copper, and zinc. DMRs also contained LTMP data for arsenic, chromium,
lead, mercury nickel, selenium, silver, and chloride. Results indicated continued limits for
cyanide and cadmium continued monitorinE for copper and zinc. From LTMP data, there was
one hit for mercury at 0.25 uV/I , all other mercury values were below detection. Will
recommend the addition of a mercury limit, (at the minimum monitoring in the NPDES permit.)
Per DWQ procedure will recommend weekly average limit and daily maximum limit for Cd and
Cn. Mercury will have a daily maximum limit only.
TOXICITY TESTING:
Current Requirement: ® 1.2 MGD - Chronic Ceriodaphnia P/F Q 28 % in MAR JUN SEP DEC
Recommended Requirement: Same as above
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY:
There were no exceedences of permit limits for the facility in 1999 and through April 2000. In
the first four months of 2000, Avg. Qw = 0.628 MGD, BOD5=3.3 mg/1, NH3=0.07 mg/l,
TSS=8.6 mg/l, TN=8.2 mg/ and TP=3.7 mg/l.
In 1999, Avg. Qw = 0.539 MGD, BOD5=4.3 mg/l, NH3=0.08 mg/l, TSS=9.7 mg/1, TN=8.5 mg/
and TP=3.5 mg/l.
In 1998. Avg. Qw = 0.512 MGD, BOD5=5.4 mg/l, NH3=0.10 mg/l, TSS=17.3 mg/1, TN=18.6
mg/ and TP=3.4 mg/1. There was one exceedence of TSS in February and one of fecal coliform
in April. *Note: sewer moratorium effective in March 1998 due to overflows
In 1997, Avg. Qw = 0.581 MGD, BOD5=5.8 mg/l, NH3=0.32 mg/l, TSS=26 mg/l, TN=15.2 mg/
and TP=3.8 mg/l. There was one exceedence of fecal coliform in September.
INSTREAM MONITORING:
Continued instream monitoring for temperature, fecal coliform, conductivity and dissolved
oxygen at the same frequencies. Review of instream monitoring data showed no instream DO
violations, upstream or downstream of the facility.
PROPOSED CHANGES:
The following modifications have been made to the permit:
• Will delete 0.8 MGD effluent page
• At 1.2 MGD, will recommend new effluent daily maximum limit for mercury due to
LTMP data. Continue with limitations for cadmium and cyanide however Cd and Cn
will have a weekly average limit and a daily maximum limit. (Reference 4/28/99
memo from D. Goodrich on Limits and Monitoring for Cyanide and metals).

REGIONAL OFFICE COMMENT:

Limitations and Monitoring Requirements
1) Recommend the Temperature be changed to 3/week in June, July, August
and September and once per week during the remaining months of the year,
as other upstream and downstream data are collected, due to the distance
that must be traveled for sampling the downstream (5 plus miles due to 1-40).
2) Recommend the Mercury be placed on the permit for a period of 1 year, at
the end of the year the monitoring requirement would remain should there be
Mercury detected, should there be none detected in the 1 year period the
monitoring requirement should be changed to quarterly.
Due to the nature of their wastewater (industrial) the 85% removal requirement
for TSS should be waved. The BOD5 removal requirement can be achieved
(according to the operator).

due to a mercury reading of 0.25 ug/1 on 2/99 (LTMP on effluent - all
other results were below detectable limits <0.2 ug/1) , that we will be

NCO021229
10/4/00—Talked with Jackie Blaylock,the ORC of Old Fort W WTP,who told me that Excel
Finishing had closed in early September. Therefore,the 0.275 MGD for the expansion is no longer
needed. Facility is discharging at about 50% capacity. Plant now has 0.500 MGD freed up for an
industrial contributor,based on Excel Finishing's pretreatment permit. The preliminary
engineering report(January 1999)submitted by the Town for the expansion did not contain 20-year
projections for residential and commercial growth. CG had questions about the expansion sent a
letter to the facility in March 1999 and they never received a response from the town. Told ORC that
DWQ would renew only for 1.2 MGD.
10/4/00 - All permit recommendations will be for 1.2 MGD.
• The permit will contain existing oxygen consuming limits for 1.2 MGD.
• Effluent limits for cadmium,cyanide,and mercury and effluent monitoring for copper
and zinc at 1.2 MGD. Per DWQ procedure, will recommend weekly average and daily
maximum limits for Cd and Co. The weekly average will be based on the water quality
standard and dilution at the 7Q10 flow and calculated with a mass balance equation.
The daily maximum limit will be one half of the Final Acute Value (1/•-FA V)established
by EPA. Recommend limits are:
Weekly Average Daily Maximum
Cadmium @ 1.2 MGD 1.5 ug/1 2.1 ug/1
Cyanide @ 1.2 MGD 1S ug/1 22 ug/1
• The same procedure will not apply to the mercury limit. "Because this element readily
converts to the extremely bioaccumulative methyl-mercury form, the Division has not
deemed that the IL FA V for Hg(2.4 ug/1)an acceptable daily maximum limit at this
time" Will recommend the allowable concentration that determined by the mass
balance equation as a daily maximum limit. Recommend limits are:
Daily Maximum
Mercury @ 1.2 MGD 0.044 ug/l
• Recommend continued instream monitoring for temperature, fecal coliform,
conductivity,and dissolved oxygen.
10/3/00—telecon to Jackie Blaylock asking about plant expansion and whether still needed
10/3/00—telecon to Rob Brown of CG, who says that Old Fort,is still interested. The Town is in line for
Round 3 funding and has priority now. Will probably now respond to the comments that CG made on their
Jan. 1999 PER. They will have to answer the questions to the satisfaction of CG.
Telecon with Dana Folley of Pretreatment Unit: Old Fort and Excel Finishing history. In 1997,Excel
Finishing requested an increase in their permitted flow from Old Fort. They wanted to increase from
150,000 GPD to 500,000 GPD. Old Fort did not give a permit to increase. Excel had a number of flow
violations because they increased the flow and created overflows in the sewer. Old Fort had 22
documented overflows. Old Fort was fined for failure to enforce their pretreatment permits. Excel did
have units that allowed flow equalization. The permit was modified to allow 500,000 GPD. Current info
that Excel received$IM from the State to create jobs but now has practically"gone bust". Excel is
operating maybe 2-3 days per week.
Recommends that Town be called to find out updated info. (Jackie Blaylock, ORC and Pretreatment
person—828-668-4561)Excel is permitted for 500.000 GPD(effective 6/19/98) and 750,000 GPD daily
max. This was renewed 5/t/99. She's unsure whether the request for 400,000 GPD based on Excel's

request is still needed. The average flow for Excel from Jan. to June `99 was 267,000 GPD, with a peak of
499,000 GPD based on 138 data points. From July to Dec. '99,the average flow was 407,000 GPD with a
peak of 549,000 GPD,based on 129 data points. Flow measurement=consumption over a given day. It is
equalized at the pipe. The Town and Excel both have significant EQ basins and can average out the flows.
Background
Old Fort is renewing the NPDES permit and requesting a modification from 1.2 MGD to 1.6 MGD.
Pretreatment information indicates that wastewater constituency is 87%domestic and 13% industrial. The
facility discharges into Curtis Creek, which has a stream classification of C-Trout. Curtis Creek is not
listed on the 303d list for the Catawba River Basin.
Excel Finishing has indicated that they will be expanding their textile dyeing operation and will have
approximately 275,000 GPD of additional flows. In order to accommodate this flow,Old Fort will expand
their existing 1.2 MGD plant to 1.6 MGD. (Compliance evaluation analysis report shows wasteflow as 0.8
MGD,however the NPDES Unit issued an ATC for expansion to 1.2 MGD in November 1995. An
engineering certification for the expansion to 1.2 MGD was sent to DWQ on May 20, 1998.)
The existing 12-inch gravity sewer line does not have the hydraulic capacity to handle peak flows and has
overflowed. There is also groundwater infiltration into the collection system. The town will construct new
24-inch gravity sewer line to increase the capacity of the collection system and reduce groundwater
infiltration. There will be upgrades in the W WTP upon expansion to 1.6 MGD.
Updated streamflows evaluated in 1994
DA= 17 mil
QA= 30.6 cfs
s7g10=4.91 cfs
w7g10=7.45 cfs
A spec letter was sent to the Town in June 21, 1999 with tentative limits at the wasteflows of 1.6 MGD and
2.0 MGD. Recommended limits for oxygen consuming parameters at 1.6 MGD are:
BOD5 =30 mg/I
NH3=2.5 mg/I(summer)
NH3=6.5 mg/I(winter)
TSS=30 mg/1
DO =5 mg/I (summer)
DO=monitor(winter)
Fecal=200/100ml
TRC=28 ug/J
Summary of Model results
Must protect for a DO instream standard of 6 mg/l because of the Trout classification for Curtis Creek.
Level B model indicates that Curtis Creek can assimilate the wastewater at 1.6 MGD. Secondary limits of
BOD5 = 30 mg/I will protect,however NH3 limits are based on protection against NH3 toxicity. DO limit
of 5 mg/I must be applied in the summer. No DO limit needed in the winter.
The lowest DO minimum was 6.62 mg/I,predicted for 1.6 MGD in the summer. Therefore, the standard of
6 mg/I will be protected at this expansion flow.
Reasonable Potential Analysis
Reviewed data from 1999 and 1998,existing monitoring for cyanide,cadmium,copper,and zinc. DMRs
also contained LTMP data for arsenic,chromium, lead, mercury nickel,selenium, silver, and chloride.
Results indicated continued limits for cyanide and cadmium,continued monitoring for copper and
zinc. From LTMP data,there was one hit for mercury at 0.25 ug/1,all other mercury values were below
detection. Will recommend the addition of a mercury limit.

Will recommend that limits for 1.6 MGD from the spec letter be incorporated into the renewed
permit, in addition to the above recommended metals limits and monitoring. Per DWQ procedure,
will recommend weekly average limit and daily maximum limit for Cd and Co. Mercury will have a
daily maximum limit only.
Chronic Toxicity P/F test of 33% in MARCH DUNE SEP DEC is also recommended. Old Fort
application indicates the presence of chloride,cyanide, sulfide,aluminum,cadmium,chromium,copper,
iron, nickel,zinc,chlorinated organic compounds,and oil and grease. There are five industrial contributors
to the Old Fort WWTP
• Excel Finishing, produces cotton fabrics
• Pisgah Yarn+ Dye,Inc. produces dyed yarn
• Parker Hosiery, Inc., produces socks
• Collins and Aikman,produces molded auto carpet, pre-cut carpet
• Ethan Allen, produces wood household furniture
The wastewaters of all the industries contribute BOD,TSS,Cadmium,Zinc,and Copper to the Old Fort
WWTP.
Biological Assessment
Curtis Creek is rated Good below Newberry Creek based on 1997 data. This includes the segment with Old
Fort's discharge point. Benthic macroinvertebrate collections(BMAN) in the Catawba River Basin„ 1983-
1997 at Curtis Creek above the WWTP off SR 1227 in 1985, 1992,and 1997 were "Good". At Curtis
Creek below the WWTP,at US 70. in 1985, the rating was fair. In 1994, at the same station, the rating
improved to"Good". Per the 1999 Catawba River Basinwide Water Quality Plan, "Benthos ratings for the
Catawba River below Old Fort improved from Fair in 1985 to Excellent in 1992. Improvements in water
quality were associated with the closing of the Old Fort finishing plant and improvements to effluent
quality at the Old Fort WWTP."
Use Support Ratings
Curtis Creek from source to Catawba River, for a 9.4 mile segment, in 1994—Good(below the WWTP), in
1997—Good. A possible source of impairment is trout farms.
Compliance Data
There were no exceedences of permit limits for the facility in 1999 and through April 2000. In the first
four months of 2000, Avg. Qw=0.628 MGD,BOD5=3.3 mg/l, NH3=0.07 mg/l,TSS=8.6 mg/l,TN=8.2
mg/and TP=3.7 mg/I.
In 1999. Avg. Qw=0.539 MGD, BOD5=4.3 mg/l,NH3=0.08 mg/I,TSS=9.7 mg/1,TN=8.5 mg/and
TP=3.5 mg/l.
In 1998, Avg. Qw=0.512 MGD, BOD5=5.4 mg/l,NH3=0.10 mg/l,TSS=17.3 mg/l,TN=18.6 mg/and
TP=3.4 mg/l. There was one exceedence of TSS in February and one of fecal coliform in April.
In 1997.Avg. Qw=0.581 MGD, BOD5=5.8 mg/l,NH3=0.32 mg/l,TSS=26 mg/l,TN=15.2 mg/and
TP=3.8 mg/l. There was one exceedence of fecal coliform in September.
Review of Instream Data
Facility conducts instream sampling for temperature,DO, fecal coliform,and conductivity weekly during
the months of April through October. In 1999,there were no upstream or downstream violations of DO,
with DO values ranging between 8.2— 10 mg/I.
In 1998,there were no upstream or downstream violations of DO, with DO values ranging between 7.7—
9.9 mg/l.

No instream data was sampled in 1997.
Recommend continued instream monitoring for temperature and dissolved oxygen. Instream
monitoring for fecal coliform and conductivity will be discontinued due to Division policy.

Recommendations(Prior to 10/4/00)
• The permit will contain existing limits for 1.2 MGD.
• Will include the limits for 1.6 MGD, BOD5=30, NH3=2.5 mg/1 (summer), NH3=6.5 mg/1
(winter),DO=S,fecal coliform,TRC=28 ugA.
• Chronic quarterly tox test at 34% for 1.6 MGD.
• Effluent limits for cadmium,cyanide,and mercury and effluent monitoring for copper and
zinc at 1.2 and 1.6 MGD. Per DWQ procedure, will recommend weekly average and daily
maximum limits for Cd and Co. The weekly average will be based on the water quality
standard and dilution at the 7Q10 flow and calculated with a mass balance equation. The
daily maximum limit will be one half of the Final Acute Value('L FAV)established by EPA.
Recommend limits are:
Weekly Average Daily Maximum
Cadmium @ 1.2 MGD 1.5 ug/I 2.1 ug/I

Cadmium @ 1.6 MGD 1.2 ug/l 2.1 ug/1
Cyanide @ 1.2 MGD 18 ug/l 22 ug/l
Cyanide @ 1.6 MGD 14.9 ug/l 22 ug/l
• The same procedure will not apply to the mercury limit. "Because this element readily converts
to the extremely bioaccumulative methyl-mercury form,the Division has not deemed that the V
FAV for Hg(2.4 ug/1)an acceptable daily maximum limit at this time." Will recommend the
allowable concentration that determined by the mass balance equation as a daily maximum
limit. Recommend limits are:
Daily Maximum
Mercury @ 1.2 MGD 0.044 ug/l
Mercury @ 1.6 MGD 0.04 ug/l
• Recommend continued instream monitoring for temperature and dissolved oxygen. Deletion of
monitoring for fecal coliform and temperature.

Subject: Pretreatment Unit Review of Pretreatment Program Status
Change from Full Program Status to Modified Program Status
Town of Old Fort (NPDES Number NC0021229)
McDowell County
Dear Mr. Blalock:
The Pretreatment Unit of the Division of Water Quality has reviewed the request to change the status
of the POTW's Pretreatment Program Status from "Full" to "Modified" for the Town of Old Fort.
This request was received by the Division on July 5, 2000.
The review indicates that the POTW's current permitted flow is 1.5 MGD, and the POTW has three
Significant Industrial Users (SIUs). Therefore, the Program Status is request is approved based
on compliance with 15 NCAC 2H .0904(b). Therefore, the Pretreatment Program Status for the
Town of Old Fort is hereby modified to "Modified Program" status.
We offer the following comments on your Modified Program status and the requirements in Part III,
B, of the POTW's NPDES permit:
1. Modified Programs are not required to implement a Long Tenn Monitoring Plan (LTMP)
but instead are required to implement a Short Term Monitoring Plan (STMP). You may
cease implementation of your LTMP at any time.
An STMP typically requires data collection every 5 years, and the data is used to prepare
the Headworks Analysis (HWA). Ideally,the HWA and IUP renewal schedules coincide,
and the HWA due date is 3-6 months before the IUP expires, however the POTW's
14WA and NP issuance schedules do not coincide. The POTW's most recent HWA
(approved on September 3, 1999) was based on data from July 1998 through June 1999.
Typically your next STMP implementation would be July 2003 to April 2004, with your
HWA due in July 2004. This would be after the current IUPs expire on April 30, 2004.

To allow the HWA and IUP schedules to be concurrent, the following schedule shall
apply. If this schedule is not acceptable, please contact me to discuss other possibilities:
• By November 1, 2002: POTW must submit a STMP to DWQ for approval.
• Calendar 2003: STMP data collection (assuming 4 samples collected one sample
per quarter).
• By February 1, 2004: Perform and submit a site-specific HWA.
2. You are no longer required to submit a Pretreatment Annual Report (PAR). Please
review Part III, B, 4, for applicable requirements. The Division may from time to time
establish certain requirements for reporting of compliance status and enforcement
activities from Modified Programs, for example a list of Significant Industrial Users
(SIUs) in Significant Noncompliance (SNC). The POTW will be notified of these
requirements.
Please note our correct mailing address and fax number at the bottom of this page. Thank you for
your continued cooperation with the pretreatment program. If you have any questions or comments,
please contact Dana Rees Folley at [phone] (ext. 523) [email:dana.folley @ncmail.net], or
Tom S. Poe (ext. 522), Supervisor of the Pretreatment Unit.

-- REGARDING: Grant Application for High Unit Cost Program.
Dear Mr. Evans:
On behalf of the Town of Old Fort, I am pleased to submit the enclosed application, in
triplicate, for the high unit cost grant to support improvements to the Town's wastewater
collection and treatment system. Also enclosed, per your discussion with Danny Bridges, please
find:
• NPDES Permit Application for expansion of the wastewater treatment plant from 1.2 mgd to
1.6 mgd (5 copies)
• Approved plans and specifications for the 24-inch sewer interceptor, along with approval
letters from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and the Army Corps of Engineers
_ (2 copies)
• Preliminary Engineering Report and Environmental Assessment for the collection and
treatment system improvements (4 copies)
•-" Due to insufficient capacity in the main sewer interceptor to the treatment plant, the
Town has paid a fine of approximately $14,800 for recent sanitary sewer overflows. In addition,
the Town is currently under a moratorium and is unable to provide sewer service to new
residences or commercial businesses. The Town's economy is further damaged by the inability
of existing industries to expand and new industries to locate to the Town. The construction of
the new 24-inch sewer interceptor and the expansion of the treatment plant will allow a large
local industry to expand and create new jobs for the community, while maintaining adequate
reserve capacity in the system for future growth. In addition, the proposed projects will ensure
protection of the nearby surface waters and their wildlife habitats. Obviously, these projects are
extremely important'to the Town and the surrounding areas of McDowell County.
"Colonial America's Western Outpost Until 1756"

Please note that the Clear Site Certificate has not yet been completed. A total of four (4)
easements are required for the construction of the 24-inch sewer line. At this time, we have
obtained one of the four easements, and have included a copy of the easement in the grant
application. We anticipate that the other three easements will be secured within the next 45 days.
Thank you for your consideration of this application. If you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact myself or Danny Bridges at [phone]. We look forward to
hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Wayne S. Stafford

RE: Town of Old Fort
NPDES Permit No. NCO021229
McDowell County
Dear Mr. Goodrich:
On behalf of the Town of Old Fort, we would like to request speculative permit
limits to increase the discharge from the Town's wastewater treatment plant from 1.2
mgd to 1.6 mgd. In addition, we also request speculative permit limits to increase the
discharge to 2.0 mgd. One of the local industries has indicated plans to increase
production operations which would result in a significant increase in their wastewater
flow. Since this flow increase would deplete much of the Town's reserve treatment
capacity at the wastewater plant, the Town is making plans for expansion of the plant.
The Town is in the process of securing funding for this project. Therefore, your
timely response to this request would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions
or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,

Old Fort WWTP Speculative Limits Request join
Curtis Creek C-Tr Index# 11-10 ElONW
030830
McDowell County
e
Facility requesting spec limits for expansion Flows of 1.6 and 2.0 MGD. Old specs done in 6/94 for 1.2
MGD. Another spec done in1997 for 1.5 MGD. Wastewater constituency is 83%domestic and 17%
industrial. Letter from engineer indicates that local industry has plans to increase production and would
increase their wasteflow.
Updated flows done in 1994
DA= 17 mil
QA=30.6 cfs
s7g1O=4.91 cfs
w7g1O=7.45 cfs
Curtis Creek is not listed on the 303d list for the Catawba River Basin. Biological assessment of Curtis
Creek is rated Good below Newberry Creek based on 1997 data. This would include the segment where
Old Fort discharges.
Summary of Model results
Must protect for a DO instream standard of 6 mg/I because of the Trout classification for Curtis Creek.
Level B model indicates that Curtis Creek can assimilate the wastewater at both flows of 1.6 and 2.0 MGD.
Secondary limits of BODS =30 mg/I will protect, however NH3 limits are based on protection against NH3
toxicity. DO limit of 5 mg/I must be applied in the summer. No DO limit needed in the winter.
The lowest DO minimum was 6.49 mg/I, predicted for 2.0 MGD in the summer. All other flows have a
predicted DO minimum >6.49 mg/l. Therefore, the standard of 6 mg/1 will be protected at these two
proposed expansion flows.

I would still hope that we could look at this. One "hit" on a facility like
Old Fort should be taken into consideration on setting a limit. The limit and
monitoring requirements associated with it is a significant impact to Old
Fort. Thanks. Forrest

OLD FORT PER COMMENTS
1. (Reference Page 8) It is noted that the 12" gravity line transports the majority of
wastewater to the treatment facility. What is the source of the remaining portion of the
flow?
2. Confirm the estimated capacity of the 12" gravity line to the plant and provide
documentation of infiltration into the intercepter.
3. An estimate of infiltradDri/inflow to the collection system should be provided. A
guidance for the infiltration/inflow is attached. Based on this analysis, an estimate of
removable 1/1 should be provided and the alternative of sewer system rehabilitation
evaluated. Rehabilitation of the system could delay or eliminate the need to replace the
12" line anal/or the need to expand the W WTP.
4. The average monthly flow from February 1998 through January 1999 was 0.5049 mgd.
The additional 0.275 mgd from Excel Finishing would bring the total to 0.78 mgd which
is only 65%of the plant capacity. Provide the following flows to justify the plant
expansion:
a. Cut7ent flows including I/I.
b. 20-year residential flows based on population projections. Typically, this flow value
is based on 70 gpd per capita of projected growth in residential population.
c. 20-year commercial flows based on population projections. Typically, this flow value
is based on 15 gpd per capita of projected growth in residential population.
d. Future industrial flows that are justifiable.
e. Provide a copy of flow request documentation from Excel Finishing.
5. A description (size, type, etc.) for each unit of the liquid and sludge train of the plant
should be provided. This should be done for the existing plant as well as the proposed
expansion. Justification and preliminary design calculations should be included for all
new treatment components.
6. A schematic of the liquid and sludge trains should be provided.
7. Provide preliminary design calculations for the proposed 24-inch sewer. Since gravity
sewer lines are considered to have a 40 to 50 year life span, we encourage designing the
line to flow half full at the 20-year peak flow.

Y 08/09/2000 16: 05 9197156229 DWG CGFJ PAGE 04
S. Section 1I lists the interceptor length as 7,600 feet; however,the cost estimate lists the
length as 7,400 feet. Confirm if the remaining 200 feet will remain intact.
9. Sludse calculations should be provided and it must be demonstrated that the sludge will
be capable ofineetiug all 503 regulations. Describe the method of ultimate disposal and
confzrm the plant's ability to meet the needs of disposal upon expansion.
10. The plant will continue to utilize chlorine as disinfection following expansion. Discuss
the alternative of switching to another means of disinfection such as UV.
11. The speculative NPDES limits for the plant were issued in 1997. Confirm that these
limits are still applicable and demonstrate by calculation that the plant can meet these
limits upon completion.
12. Describe the route of the proposed 24" line to replace the 12" line. Will it cross any
wetlands or will it necessitate the need to remove anv trees or structures?
13. The project calls for increasing the size of the aeration basins from 1.2 million gallons to
1.6 million gallons. This provides a 24 hots detention time. Confirm that it would not be
feasible to meet the speculative limits with the existing 1.2 million gallon basins which
would provide 18 hours detention.
14. How much detention time does the equalization basin provide? Is the equipment in place
to utilize this basin as an aeration basin?
15. Provide a map of the proposed land acquisition. Also describe the acreage and method of
cost determination.
