samples collected during the month
Q = the total wastewater flow discharged during the month
(MG/month)
8.34 = Conversion factor, from(mg/[.,x MG) to pounds
(b) Annual Mass Loading (lbs/year) = E (Monthly Mass Loadings) For the
calendar year
The Permittee shall report the total nitrogen concentration for each sample and the
monthly mass loading in the appropriate self-monitoring report and the annual
mass loading of total nitrogen in the December self-monitoring report for the
year.

SITE HISTORY
This minor (Class I) seafood packing and seafood processing facility has year-round
(occasionally intermittent) wastewater flow of <5,000 gpd through 4 outfalls. The facility
removes solids by physical screening through containers called "drain buckets." This facility
discharges below Falls Lake Dam) to the lower Neuse River Basin estuary —NOT a member of
the Lower Neuse River Basin Association. Local topography is flat, --0.5 feet above MSL.
Previous monitoring limits based on production as follows:
Outfall 001 -- General Permit conditions for fish packing (without processing) operations;
Outfall 002 -- effluent guidelines for fish processing (bottom fish) per 40CFR408.212(b),
Subpart U, assuming I0,000 lbs/day;
Outfall 003 -- effluent guidelines for shrimp processing per 40CFR408.122(b), Subpart L,
assuming 10,000 lbs/day; and
Outfall 004 -- effluent guidelines for crab processing per 40CFR408.22(b), Subpart B,
assuming 15,000 lbs/day.
Current permit requires annual monitoring at Outfall 001 (fish packing) and monthly monitoring
at Outfalls 002, 003, and 004 (seafood processing). This facility was first permitted in 1980. The
current permit was issued in September 1993 and expires on March 31, 2000 and the Division
has received the appropriate documentation to renew (Short Form C received Jan. 23, 1998 —
placed on hold pending the Division's Nutrient Management Strategy for the Neuse River.

WLA. The Division prepared the last Waste Load Allocation in 1991. Effluent limits were
based on Guidelines (pH on saltwater guidelines).
Staff Report (SR). The Washington Regional Office (WaRO) prepared an SR in April 1998.
The SR noted that there are 4 discharge pipes (outfalls 001 through 004) located within a 10
meter span. The WaRO recommends permit renewal.
PERMITTING APPROACH
Verification of Existing Conditions. The Division has verified (Joe Corporon, March 15, 2000)
that the Bay River, located within sub-basin 03-04-13, is a Class SC-SW-NSW stream (tidally
influenced), and is not listed [303 (d)] as an impaired stream.
DMR Data Review. The Division reviewed four (4) years of DMR data. For DMRs from Jan96
through Dec00, effluent samples were collected at 001 (8 quarters; no violations); at 002 (43
months; no violations); at 003 (43 months; no violations); and at 004 (47 months, no violations).
There have not been compliance problems with current limits.
Processing was seasonal in 1996, but consistent in 1997, `98, and `99. Reported flows are
generally small: 001 (550-1500 gpd); 002 (20-300 gpd); 003 (300 gpd); and 004 consistently
reported as 710 gpd, with 2 months (September and October, 1996) listed at 7000 gpd [reporting
error?].
Since there are no indications of change in production or discharge, this Draft permit has retained
the same outfalls and effluent limits as the last permitted cycle with the exception of settable
solids. Settable solid limits were removed from the permit based on the lack of reasonable
potential (data consistently reported as <1.0 mg/L for four years). Given the relatively low-
volume discharges over the past 2 years (< 1300 gpd combined packing and process wastewater),
the expected low nutrient loading, and the dilution of a high-volume water body, this facility has
previously not been required to monitor for nitrogen and phosphorus.
PROPOSED CHANGES
In keeping with recently adopted guidelines (Neuse River Management Strategy), total N
and total P monitoring and reporting (monthly; no limits) have been incorporated into this
permit.
Permit Deletions: Limits for Settable Solids (monitoring frequency remains the
same).
Permit Additions: Added Nitrogen and Phosphorous
PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE

accordance with the recently adopted Neuse River rcg—u OTt , the Division has added trogen and
�osphorous monitoring to your permit.
Your facility discharges to waters of the Ne se River Basin. All streams within this basin have
r - been designated nutrient sensitive vvaters (NSW) as a suit of algal-bloom problems in the estuary. The
M � North Carolina Environmental Management Commissio recently adopted rules establishing the Neuse

A. (6.) TOTAL NITROGEN MONITORING
The Permittee shall calculate the annual mass loading of total nitrogen as the sum of monthly
loadings, according to the following equations:
(1) Monthly Mass Loading(lbs/month) = TN x Q x 8.34
where:
TN = the average total nitrogen concentration (mg/L)of the grab
samples collected during the month
Q \the total wastewater now discharged during the month
MG/month)
8.34 = C version factor, from (mg/L x MG)to pounds
(2) Annual Mass Loading(lbs/y r) = Z(Monthly Mass Loadings)for the calendar year
The Permittee shall report t e total nitrogen concentration for each sample and the
monthly mass loading in the ppropriate self-monitoring report and the annual mass
loading of total nitrogen in the cember self-monitoring report for the year.
A. (7.) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TO L NITROGEN
(a) The Neuse Nutrient Manageme t Strategy rule for point sources (I) provides that
annual mass limits for total nit gen shall be included in permits for all
dischargers with permitted flows (as defined in the Strategy) cater than or equal to
0.5 MOD and that those nitrogen li its shall become e ective with the calendar
year beginning on January I, 2003. D chargers with ermitted flows less than 0.5
MOD, including the Permittee, are not bject to ' rogen limits at the time of this
permit issuance.
(b) The Neuse rule also provides that disc gers forming a group compliance
L association shall not be subject to individu a ual mass limits for total nitrogen. At
the time of permit issuance, the Permit a had a ressed interest in joining such an
association. Accordingly, the group etrogen allo ation established pursuant to an
agreement as referenced below and any subse uent amendments is hereby
incorporated as an enforceabl part of this perm so long as the following
conditions are met:

(i) a formal agr ement between the associate n and Environmental
Managemen Commission, as outlined in 15A NCAC 2B. 0234, is
establishe and is in effect, and
(ii) the Per ittee is a party to said agreement, and
(iii) the ssociation and the Permittee substantially conform wiih the
reement.
Such limi , if applicable, shall become effective with the calendar year beginning on
Januay,y'l, 2003

conditions are not being met, it shall notify the rmittee in writing of this
determination and of its basis. The Division shallaccept and consider written
responses received from the Permittee and/or t association within thirty (30) days
of the original notice before making a final cision and will provide that decision in
writing.
(d) The Permittee shall notify the Divi" n in writing within five (5) working days if, at
any time during the term of is permit, the Permittee elects not to join the
association, or if it withdraw or otherwise loses its membership in the association.
Notification shall be sent o: Division of Water Quality, NPDES Unit, 1617 Mail

SITE HISTORY
�2'e-j"All- -
Background.l This minor (Class I) seafood packing d seafood processing-facility has year-
round (occasionally intermittent) wastewater flow of<5, 00 gpd through'4 outfalls.) he facility
removes solids by physical screening through containers ailed "drain b c-e s This facility
discharges (below Falls Lake Dam) to the lower Neuse River asin estuary -NOT a member of
the Neuse River Association. Local topography is flat, -0.5 fe t above MSL.
Previous monitoring limits based on production as follows:
Outfall 001 -- General Permit conditions for fish packing (without pr cessing) operations;
Outfall 002 --effluent guidelines for fish processing (bottom fish) per CFR408.212(b),
Subpart U, assuming 10,000 lbs/day;
OutfaIl 003 -- effluent guidelines for shrimp processing per 40CFR408.12 b), Subpart L,
assuming 10,000 lbs/day; and
Outfall 004 -- effluent guidelines for crab processing per 40CFR408.22(b), Su art B,
assuming 15,000 lbs/day.
Current permit requires annual monitoring at Outfall 001 (fish packing) and monthl monitoring
at Outfalls 002, 003, and 004 (seafood processing). This facility was first permitted in 1980. The
current permit was issued in September 1993 and expires on March 31, 2000 and the Division
has received the appropriate documentation to renew (Short Form C received Jan. 23, 1998 -

Verification of Existing nditions. The Division has verified that Bay River is a Class SC- f.
SW-NSW stream; (Tidal, the fore summer 7Q 10= 0 cfs, winter 7Q 10= 0 cfs,_�d 30Q2 = 0 --•W
19
cfs); and that Bay River (wit • sub-basin 03-04-13) .is not listed as 303(d) tream (Joe
Corporon, March 15, 2000).

DMR Data Review. The Division re iewed four (4) years of DMR data. For DMRs from Jan96 v,
through DeC00, effluent samples were ollected at 001 5 onths; no violations); at 002 (43
months; no violations); at 003 (43 month • no violations); a at 004 (47 months, no violations).
There have r been compliance problems 'th current limits.

y. Processing was seasonal in 1996, but consis nt in 1997, `98, and `99. Reported flows ar Tyr-'
r4 generally small: 001 (550-1500 gpd); 002 (20- 0 gpd); 003 (300 gpd); and 004 consistently
reported as 710 gpd, with 2 months (September an October, 1996) listed at 7000 gpd [reporting
error?].
PROPOSED CHANGES
Since there are no indications of change in production or dis arge, this Draft permit has retained
the same outfalls and effluent limits as the last permitted cycl Given the relatively low-volume
discharges over the past 2 years (< 1300 gpd combined packi and process wastewater), the
expected low nutrient loading, and dilution of a high-volume ater body, this facility has
previously not been required to monitor for nitrogen and phosphoru . In keeping with recently
adopted guidelines (Neese River Management Strategy), total and total P monitoring
and repo�rttin o thly; no limits) have been incorporated into this ermit.
w `Permit Deletions: NONE
Permit Additions: Added Nitrogen and Phosphorous /&
