This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of the 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. The following list has been included to outline the changes that were addressed in the draft permit. These changes remain unchanged in the final permit: • An effluent limitations and monitoring requirements page has been added for the 0.6 MGD flow. The plant capacity is currently 0.6 MGD and the facility has authorization to expand to 1.0 MGD when plans and specifications are submitted for Division review and approval. • Special Condition G was deleted form the permit renewal. The Regional office verified that the requirements of this condition have been met. • Special Condition H was deleted form the permit renewal. APAM Monitoring is no longer a Division requirement. • Special Condition I was deleted from the permit renewal. This requirement is covered in the boilerplate language. 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.

Permits&Engineering Comments: This is a permit renewal with no reference to modifications at the existing facility. WLA prepared in 92 was for a flow of 1.0 MGD (7Q10= Tidal Flow). The Limits page in the existing permit was developed from this WLA. Technically, the facility should have an effluent sheet for 0.6 MGD and LO MGD. I drafted the permit renewal with a limits page for 0.6 MGD and one for 1.0 MGD. The limits will remain the same due to the fact that the 7Qio=Tidal Flow. With two limits pages, compliance will have the opportunity to track the facility's flow to make sure they are not bumping up against 80-90% capacity. Region, do you have any objections to this? Ata- Manteo WWTP NC0079057 Page 2 of 2 The central office does not have DMR data for the instream monitoring requirements at this facility.

Was this information available for review at the last compliance inspection? Several total residual chlorine violations were reported over the last five years. In response to the chlorine violations, it is understood that the addition of UV disinfection has been applied for. The staff report indicated that this unit will replace the existing chlorination/dechlorination system. It is recommended that the permit be renewed as drafted.

Facility Notes for Manteo WWTP (NC0079057) MEMORANDUM TO: File FROM: Jeff Myhra DATE: February 23, 1997 SUBJECT: Permit file review for Manteo WWTP(NC0079057) Facility Information: Qµ, =0.6 MGD (Class IV facility) Shallowbag Bay 03-01-51 Stream Class: Shallowbag Bay SC 4-6-61 30-21-03 • WLA prepared in 92 was for a flow of LO MGD (7Q10= Tidal Flow). The Limits page in existing permit were developed from this WLA. I contacted the Region in reference to the design flow rate at the facility. My question was why did we grant them a flow of 1.0 MGD when the plant is only designed for 0.6 MGD. Technically, we should have an effluent sheet for 0.6 MGD and LO MGD. The region said the facility requested 1.0 MGD in the beginning and we agreed to permit them at this rate. My recommendation is to develop a limits page for 0.6 MGD and one for 1.0 MGD. The limits will remain the same due to the fact that the 7Q,()_ Tidal Flow, this way compliance will have the opportunity to track the facility's flow to make sure they are not bumping up against 80-90% capacity. • Staff report was prepared by Kim Hall. Facility was found to be in compliance with its NPDES permit and self monitoring data. Region recommends that the permit be reissued with the addition of one sludge digester, one sludge holding tank, and permitted land application. • NOVs - Total Residual Chlorine violation (25 µg/l) March 1997 - Total Residual Chlorine violation (41 µg/1) February 1997 - Effluent Toxicity violation May 1995 ✓ - Total Residual Chlorine violation (20 µg/1) March 1995 - Effluent Toxicity violation February 1995 - Total Residual Chlorine violation (20 µg/1) November 1994 - Total Residual Chlorine violation (41 µg/1) October 1994 - Total Residual Chlorine violation (26 4g/1) September 1994 - Fecal Coliform violation (14.6�p& July 1994 - BOD violation (7.73 µg/1) June 1994 - Fecal Coliform violation (14.6 µg/1) June 1994 Manteo WWTP NC0079057 Page 2 of 2 - BOD violation (6.59 µg/1) May 1994 - Fecal Coliform violation (135.1 µg/1) May 1994 - BOD violation (6.65 4g/1) April 1994 - Fecal Coliform violation (22.5 µg/1) April 1994 In response to the chlorine violations, the Region mentioned that the addition of UV disinfection has been applied for.
