Permit No. N00020761 SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS SPECIAL CONDITIONS A (2). 'CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure." Revised November 1995, or subsequent versions. The .effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is 1.5% (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The tests will be performed during the months of January. April, July and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing 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 TGP3B. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-I (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Water Quality 4401 Reedy Creek Rd. Raleigh, N.C. 27607 Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above. Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will 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 the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly monitoring will 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 this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. DENR/DWQ FACT SHEET FOR NPDES PERMIT DEVELOPMENT NPDES No. NCO020761 Facility Information Applicant/Facility Name: Town of North Wilkesboro, Thurman Street Applicant Address: 801 Main Street, North Wilkesboro Facility Address: Thurman Street, North Wilkesboro Permitted Flow 2.0 MGD Type of Waste: 96% Domestic, 4% Industrial Facility/Permit Status: Existing renewal without expansion County: Willies Stream Characteristics Receiving Stream Yadkin River Stream Classification C Subbasin 03-07-01 Drainage Area (mi2): 526 Summer 7010 (cfs) 196 Winter 7010 (cfs): 267 Average Flow (cfs): 683 I\V7C (%) @ 2.0 MGD: 1.5 Miscellaneous Regional Office: Winston-Salem USGS Topo Quad: C14NW Permit Writer: Mark McIntire Date September 17, 1998 Proposed Chanties • Removal of effluent limitations pages for 1.0 MGD; facility is now at 2.0 MGD per George Smith of the WSRO. • Removal of silver monitoring; RP analysis indicates no need for monitoring; monitoring will remain in LTMP. • Inclusion of instream monitoring exemption language resulting from facility's participation in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin Association; monitoring requirement will activate automatically should the facility choose to terminate its participation in the Association. Background This facility was previously permitted at flows of 1.0 MGD and 2.0 MGD. An ATC for the expansion from 1 .0 to 2.0 MGD was issued on December 22, 1995 by Construction Grants. That ATC authorized the modification of the chlorine contact chamber to accommodate two channels as well as the installation of sodium bisulfite dechlorination facilities. The basin plan attributes high levels of fecal coliform bacteria in this area of the Yadkin River to this facility as well as the Wilkesboro U/WTP. Since November of 1996, this facility has not had a monthly average fecal coliform value greater than 17 colonies per 100 ml. Furthermore, it is evident from discharge monitoring reports that dechlorination is online and effectively removing residual chlorine. Wasteload Allocation Summary This discharge was modeled at 2.0 MGD most recently in May of 1995. Although fecal coliform levels were high at one point, the problem appears to have been rectified. No limit changes are proposed for conventional or oxygen consuming parameters. The only metal monitored for in the permit is silver. Silver has been reported at less than detection (5 µg/L) for at least the past two years. To that end, no reasonable potential analysis is necessary. Silver monitoring will be eliminated from the permit but will be maintained in the facilities Long-Term-Monitoring-Plan (LIMP). This facility has recently become a member of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin Association for instream sampling. As such, instream monitoring has been waived in lieu of monitoring by the association in accordance with the MOA between the Division and the Association. Compliance Review This facility has been in compliance with its permit since at least December of 1996. Oxygen consuming wastes are being removed effectively as is TSS and fecal coliform. The dechlorinating system seems to be performing to standards as well. Toxici Type of Toxicity Test: Chronic (Ceriodaphnia), 24 hr, P/F Existing Limit: 1 .5% Recommended Limit: 1 .5% Chronic, 24 hr, P/F Monitoring Schedule: Quarterly This facility has passed all toxicity tests it's taken since at least the end of 1993. Summary and Recommendations It is recommended that this permit be renewed with the above mentioned changes.

Southern Soil Builders are contracted by the Town to apply biosolids to Town's permitted property. The Town of North Wilkesboro would like to request that silver monitoring be taken out of this permit. The reason for this is because results are always lower than the detection limit of<0.005 MG/L.
