EAA Review- Additional Comments
HUA No. FV9701
Dear Mr. McIntire:
Per your letter dated August 26, 1997, we offer the following responses to your review comments
regarding the Engineering Alternatives Analysis for the above referenced project.
• The flow schedule provided in the appendix lists potential users of the new
wastewater collection and treatment system. How are these establishments currently
served in terms of wastewater treatment? What is the time schedule for providing
these establishments with sewer service?
The 50 units to be served in the CDBG project are currently unserved and
construction is in progress at this time to connect these units (Permit #WQ0013787).
The estimated 100 mobile homes are to be in a mobile home park which is under
development with the sewer improvements approximately 95% complete (.Permit
#WQ0013290).
• What was the source of the S.5Yoo interest rate used in determining present worth?
This rate was estimated to be at least 1% greater than the anticipated loan rate. The
Town is negotiating with several lending institutions for funding. For comparison
purposes, the noted rate should be adequate and will not effect the analysis as it
pertains to selecting the most cost feasible alternative.

• The analytical and maintenance portions of the O &M costs for the land application
alternative should be expanded in a fashion similar to the other alternatives.
The analytical and maintenance costs have been expanded and attached for inclusion in
the report.
• The permit fees portion of the O & M costs for the NPDES alternative is not
complete. It does not include annual compliance and monitoring fees.
This figure has been revised to be $600.00 annually for permit maintenance fees.
• Why are personnel costs for a package plant less than those for the alternative of
pumping the wastewater to Ramseur?
The pumping system would require additional Town staff for normal maintenance,
while we plan to continue our current consulting relationship for operation of the
proposed package wastewater treatment plant.
• Is the electrical O &M cost far the NPDES alternative reasonable for a plant which
will be required to nitrify?
The electrical costs for this alternative were based on the actual estimated horsepower
needed. However, this amount does appear low and we have increased the required
horsepower to more accurately reflect a reasonable electrical expense.
• Should the Town choose to chlorinate its wastewater for disinfection purposes, the
chemical costs associated with chlorination and dechlorination should be included in
the maintenance portion of the NPDES alternative.
The Town anticipates using ultraviolet disinfection and the costs for this is included in
the electrical and maintenance costs.

This is a permit modification for the Town of Franklinville's WWTP. The
modification involves an increase in permitted flow from 0.03 MGD to 0.10
MGD. A speculative limits request was made by Hobbs Upchurch and Associates
in 1996 on behalf of the town. Speculative limits were developed by Jason Doll
and provided to the Town via letter (attached).
A discussion with Jason Doll indicated that nothing had changed on the Deep
River which would effect the limits for this expansion. He indicated that it was
appropriate to proceed with the expansion using limits quoted in the spec letter.
This NPDES permit has been drafted in accordance with the spec letter of 3/96
and monitoring frequencies reflective of a class II facility.

Dear Mayor Whatley:
I am writing in response to aic February 5, 1996 letter from Bill Lester, Jr., P.f ., concerning the
proposed expansion from 0.030 mt'd to 0XK) rngd for the Town of Franklinville wastewater treauneni
plant. Two possible discharge Ipcations were outlined in this letter. After a telephone corIversatiort with
Mr. t_csier, it was determine that the second site, (labeled B on the request letter) was included due to
possible grant money available for upgrades at that site. But, due to its proximity to a public park, it vas
doubtful that .si;c B would be selected as an alternative discharge location. `-he speculative lirni[.s outlined
in this response were determined from the Cape Fear River Basinwide Water Quality Management flan, and
identical limits for both sites are rccommendc.d, Therefore, no distinction is made between these two
po,s;iblc diSC1)Argc 10C,16011s in this letter.
As outlined in Utc Cape Fear River Basinwide '`'t'ater Quality Management Plan, urban areas in this
watershed discharge either directly or indirectly to the Deep River, and their effluents may make up the
majority of the flow during, low flow periods. Therefore• new and expanding discharges are encouraged to
investigate regionalization for wastewater treatment. If discharee to a renional «°WTP is riot feasible, an
altern<ttivc am,lysis should be performed to evaluate. all practicabie altematives to Surf;[CC water discharge.

Town of Franklinville Speculative Limits
NC0007820 Randolph County
Under current DEM procedure, dechlorination and chlorine limits are recommended for all new or
expanding dischargers proposing the use of chlorine for disinfection. An acceptable level of residual
chlorine in the proposed discharge is 28 }tgll for protection against acute toxicity. The process of
chlorination / dechlorination or ultra violet radiation may allow the facility to comply with the totai
residual chlorine limit.
Please be advised that response to a speculative request does not guarantee that the Division will issue
an NPDES permit to discharge treated wastewater. In accordance with the North Carolina General Sliatutes,
the practicable waste treatment and disposal alternative with the lfast adverse impact on the environment is
required to be implemented. Nondischarge alternatives, such as spray irrigation or connection to a regional
treatment and disposal system, are considered to be environmentally preferable to a discharge. Therefore,
prior to submittal of an NPDES application, a detailed alternatives analysis must be prepared to assure that
the environmentally sound alternative was selected from the reasonable cost effective options. In order to
receive final permit limits, a fornnal application indicating the proposed WWTP design capacity and a
justification for the facility will have to be submitted to the Division's Permits and Engineering Unit.
The final NPDES effluent limitations will be determined after a fornial permit application ha; been
submitted to the Division of Environmental Management, if there are any additional questions concerning
this matter, please feel free ur cottlactJason D011 at [phone],extension 507 or me.

Previously Randolph Mills WWTP, (textile mill)and when it closed,the Town of Franklinville bought the facility. There was no
flow monitoring device on the effluent and 0.010 mgd was decided upon as the discharge quantity.
1987: WLA recommended 30/30 limits. Facility consisted of pumping station, lined facultative lagoon, clarifier(that neither returned
sludge or skimmed surface flout or solids) and a chlorinated. Therefore,they probably could not meet better than Secondary
Limits.
1990: The facility must have installed a flow measuring device and it was determined that their actual discharge was more in the
range of 0.030 mgd. Numerous models and instream data for this area verified that the assimilative capacity was over
allocated, Advanced Tertiary limits were originally recommended,but those were later changed to 10(20) mg/l GODS and
2 (4) mg/l NH3-N. Neither of these recommendations made it into the permit for 0.030 mgd and it was re-issued for 30/30.
There was no actual increase in influent, it was simply that the original 0.010 mgd was under estimated.
1996: Facility has requested expansion limits for 0.100 mgd. Staff Report details that actual plant capacity at this time is 0.600 mgd,
but needs extensive upgrading. The Speculative Limits request details two potential discharge locations; one at their existing
location and another upstream in the center of Franklinville. It is unknown why the second location, (in Franklinville)was
proposed as it would not affect the limits recommended in the Cape Fear basin plan.
Basin Plan Review
/Urban areas in the Deep River watershed include,Kernersville, High Point, Randleman, Ramseur, Asheboro, and Sanford Municipal
wastewater treatment plants in these cities discharge either directly or indirectly to the Deep River, and their effluents maq make up the
majority of the flow during,low flow periods. As a result, severe water quality problems have been observed throughout the upper
portion of the Deep River,:/The river has been intensively sampled since 1983. Water quality has improved in this time period. These
improvements have been related to upgrades at several wastewater treatment plants. Using benthos data, an upstream site on the
Deep River improved from Poor to Fair after the Jamestown WWTP ceased discharge in 1984. A site further downstream near the
Guilford/Randolph County line improved from Poor in 1983 to Fair in 1984-1986. This site showed some further improvement in 1987-
1990, but achieved a Good-Fair rating only in July 1988. Copper concentrations at this site are still sometimes above NC Action Levels.
The Randleman WWTP is permitted to discharge 1.75 MGD directly to the Deep River. A Deep River site at Randleman improved from
Poor in 1985 to Fair in 1986-1988, and to Good-Fair in 1993.
Section 4.3.2(p. 4-22)
Due to the predominance of wastewater in this system during low flow conditions it is recommended that all new and expanding major
facilities in the Deep River basin between High Point Reservoir and Carbonton dam be issued advanced ternary limits (BOD5= 5 mg/I
and NH3-N = 2 mgr1J., For new and expanding discharges between High Point Lake and Carbonton dam with flows less than 1 MGD,
regionalization of wastewater treatment is encouraged. -if discharge to a regional WWTP is not feasible, an alternative analysis should
be performed to evaluate all practicable alternatives to surface water discharge. Where discharge is the most feasible option, permit
limits no less stringent than BOD5= 15 mg/l and NH3-N= 4 mg/l are recommended.;`Additionaliy, because DO violations in the Deep
River are strongly linked to algae growth, nutrient limits will be recommended in this section. This is discussed in Section 6.4
Management Strategies for Nutrients. - pert j^ ,a D,it; s —4/y- cl+i'5:lved" oh c. +r%vllacl _.
Section 6.3.6 (pp.6 -35 and 6-36)
...At the Ramseur ambient station both point and nonpoint sources contribute to high nutrients, while at the Moncure station, in the
lowest reaches of the Deep River, most of the nutrient load is delivered at high flows. Field observations suggest this is caused by both
nonpoint source pollution and the resuspension and washout of stored sediments from impoundments...
Three factors, stream velocity, point source nutrient loading, and nonpoint source loadings, are predicted to play a significant role in the
control of eutrophication and DO standards violations in the Deep River. A three-tiered management strategy is recommended.
1.) Maintenance of Stream Velocity
2.) Poirot Source Nutrient Control
...11 is also recommended that all other new and expanding major discharges (flow>= 1 MGD) receive a TP limit of 1 mg/l,
while discharges with a discharge less than 1.0 MGD and greater than or equal to 0.5 MGD receive effluent TP limits of 2 mg/l.
3.) Nonpoint Source Nutrient Control
