Subject: NPDES Permit Modification
Permit Number NCO026441
Siler City WWTP
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Thompson:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for minor modification of the subject
permit. Accordingly we are forwarding the attached modified permit page. Please remove the existing
"Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements"page and replace it with the one attached to this
letter.
This modification reduces the effluent monitoring frequencies for Biochemical Oxygen Demand
(BOD5),Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Fecal Coliform from daily to 2/week monitoring. The
modification was based upon an evaluation of three years of facility effluent monitoring data. The
facility's performance satisfies the criteria established in the "DWQ Guidance Regarding the Reduction
of Monitoring Frequencies in NPDES Permits for Exceptionally Performing Facilities" as approved by
the Director of the Division of Water Resources on October 22, 2012, and justifies reduced monitoring
for these parameters. The modified monitoring frequencies will become effective on June 1, 2015.
Ammonia Nitrogen (NH3-N) did not meet the guidance standard that no more than 15 daily sampling
results over the 3-year(36 months) review period(March 2012 to February 2015) can be over 200% of
the monthly average limit for NH3-N. For parameters with summer and winter limits, an annual
arithmetic mean of the seasonal limits was used in the calculation which was 1.42 mg/L [seven(7)
months with 1.0 mg/L and five (5)months with 2.0 mg/L]. Sixteen(16) daily samples were greater than
200% of this arithmetic mean which is 2.83 mg/L. Monitoring frequency for Ammonia Nitrogen
(NH3-N) is daily.
This modification 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 October 15,2007 (or as subsequently amended).

A.�(3) NUTRIENT REOPENER
In the event that Permittee proposes to accept future industrial process wastewater that is expected to contain
concentrations of Total Nitrogen(TN)and/or Total Phosphorus(TP)greater than typical domestic wastewater
concentration(i.e. greater than 40.0 mg/L TN or greater than 5.0 mg/L TP),the Permittee shall notify the NPDES
Complex Permitting Unit of the Division at 1617 Mail Service Center,Raleigh,NC 27699 and the Raleigh
Regional Office at 3800 Barrett Drive,Raleigh,NC 27609 within 30 days of knowledge that the town is
considering accepting new industrial process wastewater containing excess nutrients. The notification shall contain
information regarding the proposed discharge flow,composition and treatability in the Siler City WWTP. Changes
in effluent characteristics may require a permit modification, so notification should be at least 180 days prior to the
start of the proposed discharge.
Based on information provided by the Town regarding a potential new industrial process wastewater with high
nutrient concentration,and pursuant to N.C. General Statute Section 143-215.1 and the implementing rules found in
Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, specifically, 15A NCAC 2H.0112(b)(1)and
2H.0114(a),and Part 11, Sections B-12 and B-13 of this permit,the Director of DWR may then reopen this permit
to require supplemental nutrient limits for Total Nitrogen and/or Total Phosphorus in accordance with the current
Basin Plan for the Cape Fear River Basin.

DWQ Guidance Regarding the Reduction of Monitoring Frequencies in
NPDES Permits for Exceptionally Performing Facilities
October 22, 2012
A. Purpose
In its efforts to reduce the regulatory burden upon permittees while maintaining adequate compliance
oversight over point source discharges, DWQ has developed the following guidance for the reduction
of monitoring frequencies in NPDES permits for specific target parameters., Standard minimum
NPDES monitoring frequencies are established in 15A NCAC 213 .0508 for discharges from facilities
with specific Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) categories. However, 2B .0508(b)(1) states: "If it
is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Director that any of the tests and measurements, sampling
points, or frequency of sampling requirements, as required in this Rule for a particular SIC group, are
not applicable to the discharge of a particular water pollution control facility, or if it can be
demonstrated that the objectives of this Section can be achieved by other acceptable means then
such requirements may be waived or modified to the extent that the Director determines to be
appropriate." This document identifies criteria to be used by DWQ that satisfies the regulatory
standard for the allowance of reduced monitoring frequencies for facilities included in SIC 4952.
This guidance applies to facilities with outstanding NPDES program compliance histories, exhibiting
effluent discharges that are excellent in both quality and consistency. Such performance will
demonstrate that compliance for particular parameters can be adequately evaluated with less
monitoring. Facilities demonstrating consistent, long-term treatment performance at levels far below
effluent limitations (<50%) may be considered for a reduction in monitoring from existing permit
frequencies to a 2/week minimum frequency for the parameters BODSi CBOD5 TSS, NH3-N and fecal
coliformlenterococci (the "target parameters").
B. Approval Criteria
Individual NPDES facilities shall submit a written request to modify their NPDES permit specifying
which parameters are to be considered for reduced monitoring . Permit holders must include with
their requests sufficient data, statistical analyses, and other information to support the justification for
reduced monitoring. NPDES permit staff shall review the application and supporting information.
Approval of reduced monitoring frequency shall be granted if all the criteria below are met:
• The facility has no more than one civil penalty assessment for permit limit violations for each
target parameter during the previous three years.
• Neither the permittee nor any of its employees have been convicted of criminal violations of the
Clean Water Act within the previous five years.
• The facility is not currently under an SOC for target parameter effluent limit noncompliance.
• The facility is not on EPA's Quarterly Noncompliance Report for target parameter limit violations.
• For BOD5i CBOD5, TSS, NH3-N and TSS, the three year arithmetic mean of effluent data must be
less than fifty percent of the monthly average permit limit. For fecal coliform or enterococci, the
three year geometric mean must be less than 50 percent of the monthly average permit limit. For
parameters with summer and winter limits, an annual arithmetic mean of the seasonal limits may
be used in the calculation.
• With the exception of fecal coliform or enterococci, no more than 15 daily sampling results over
the 3-year review period can be over 200% of the monthly average limit for BOD5i CBODS, TSS,
or NH3-N . Values associated with documented impacts of extreme weather or events beyond the
control of the permittee will not be included.
• For fecal coliform or enterococci, no more than 20 daily sampling results may be over 200% of the
weekly average limit. Values associated with documented impacts of extreme weather or events
beyond the control of the permittee will not be included.
• For the four target parameters, sampling results shall not show more than two non-monthly
average limit violations during the previous year.
• Reduced effluent monitoring must not impair assessment of sensitive downstream uses, such as
endangered species.
C. Implementation
After DWQ review and approval, the facility's NPDES permit will be reissued with reduced monitoring
frequencies for qualified parameters. Additional NPDES permit requirements will include:
• Eligible facilities may be granted a reduction from existing permit monitoring frequencies to a
2/week minimum frequency for the four target parameters. Reductions will be made for both
effluent and influent sampling.
• Where monitoring is reduced to twice per week, it must occur on any two non-consecutive days
during the calendar week (Sunday through Saturday).
• Required monitoring frequency reductions establish new permit minimums for monitoring. As
always, facilities may monitor more often than required in the permit.
• If a reportable event, as defined by the permit[e.g., Part 11 (E) (6 & 9)] occurs, any facility granted
reduced monitoring frequencies will be encouraged to monitor on a daily basis until the episode is
resolved.
Monitoring frequency reduction from the minimum frequencies reductions established by the rules are
based upon consistent, exceptional performance. DWQ may revoke on a case-by-case basis these
reductions if the facility begins to perform in noncompliance with permit limits. If a facility's monitoring
reduction for a specific parameter is removed through permit modification, reconsideration of
monitoring frequency reduction will only occur three years following the revocation/permit modification
action, or at the next permit renewal.

Dear Mr. Hennessy:
The Town of Siler City is requesting a minor permit modification of NPDES Permit NCO026441 for a
reduction in sampling. We request that monitoring for BODS, TSS, Ammonia Nitrogen and Fecal
Coliform be reduced under the "exceptionally performing facilities" criteria to two times per week. The
attached data (summarized in the following table) indicates that the WWTP effluent has exceeded the
minimum criteria for reduced monitoring. The most restrictive summer limit was used for calculating all
BODS and Ammonia Nitrogen removal rates. In addition to the test results, the Siler City WWTP is in
compliance with all other criteria listed in Section 8 Approval Criteria-of the-October-22, 2012 guidance
document regarding reduction of monitoring frequencies. The date used for this analysis was for the
period of January 2012—February 2015.
Analysis of testine results for the past three years:
Percent of Monthly Average Limit
Parameter Monthly Limit 3-Year Average %of Limit
BOD5 S.0 mg/I 1.5 mg/I 30%
TSS 30.0 mg/L 0.7 mg/L 2S%

The Town appreciates the Division's effort to reduce the regulatory and monetary burden on
systems that strive consistently to provide exceptional wastewater treatment. We thank you for
your consideration in these matters. If you have any additional questions or comments, please
