Dear DIr. Tweed:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved the permit renewal for your facility. The final permit is attached to this
letter. This permit is issucrl pursuant to the requirements of the North Carolina Gcncral Statute 143-215.1 and the \lemorandum
of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated December G, 1983.
The following items appeared in the draft permit,and remain in the final permit.
i The facilin will have to meet a summer ammonia limit of 2.0 mg/L and a winter ammonia limit of 4.0 mg/L by
\fay 1,2002. These limits are necessary,because the facility discharges into a zero-flow stream.
i' The upstream and downstream monitoring requirements for pH and conductivity have been deleted.
The sample n.pe for all parameters (cxeept pH and Fecal Coliform) has been changed from grab to composite at
the request of the Winston-Salem Regional Office (\\'SRO). The WSRO requested this change because the
facility does not yet have an equalization basin. It was also noted that an upstream pump station caused frequent
hydraulic surges in the stream. The recent issuance of an Authorization to Construct (AtC) for this facility may
alleviate the need for composite sampling,once all of the components in the AtC are operational.
i Quarterly monitoring for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus has been included in the permit. The Division
has included these monitoring requirements for all dischargers in the Yadkin-Pee Dee Basin.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you
ha%c the right to an zdjudicaton hearing upon written request within thiriv� days following receipt of this letter. This request must
be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the
Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 \[ail Senice Center,Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made,
this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require
modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. In addition, this permit does not affect the legal requirement to obtain
other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality' or permits required by the Division of Land Resources,
Coastal Area Dlanagemcnt Act or any other Federal or Local government. If we can be of further assistance to you,please do not
hesitate to contact Charles Weaver of my staff at (919) 7335083,extension 511.

This NPDES NC0065587 is apparently on hold as it is listed as going to a
WS-IV stream using the wrong segment of Muddy Creek. The discharge is
into an unnamed tributary of Muddy Creek with the UT junction about 3 . 5
miles above the Yadkin/Muddy junction. The correct segment of Muddy
Creek is 12-94- (0. 5) which is class " C" .
Mike, this is the one we spoke about on the phone recently.

Dear Mr. Tweed:
This letter is to inform you that the Division has finalized its review and the comment period is
now closed for NPDES permit NC0065587. A final copy of the permit is attached to this letter. This
permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of the North Carolina General Statute t43-2t5.1 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.
➢ The permit expiration date has been changed. The permit renewal will expire on May 31,
2004. The expiration date has been revised so that an equal number of permit renewals will
come in at any one time. This change will allow the Division to issue permits more
efficiently.
i The stream classification for the unnamed tributary to Muddy Creek, at the location of your
point source discharge, has been changed from C to WS-IV.
i The summer and winter limits for ammonia have been revised. The facility will have to meet
a summer ammonia limit of 2.0 mg/I and a winter ammonia limit of 4.0 mg/I by May t, 2002.
These limits were incorporated into the permit renewal because the facility discharges into a
zero flow stream.
i Special condition E has been deleted. An EAA was submitted with the renewal application.

The upstream and downstream monitoring requirements for pH have been leted. Division
policy does not require instream pH monitoring.
i The upstream and downstream monitoring requirements for conductivity and emperatur
have been deleted. It has been determined that these sampling requirements ar n er
necessary.
i The sample type for all parameters (except pH and Fecal Coliform) has been changed from
grab samples to composite samples at the request of the regional office. The region requested
this revision due to the fact that WWTP does not have an equalization basin. In addition, it
was noted that an upstream pump station causes frequent hydraulic surges in the stream.
i Quarterly monitoring for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus has been included in the
permit. The Division has included these monitoring requirements for all dischargers in the
Yadkin Basin. The results of this additional monitoring will be used in the development of a
nutrient management strategy for the Yadkin Basin.
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. This request must be in the form of a written petition,
conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such
demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division
may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. In addition, this permit
does not affect the legal requirement to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of
Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act or

The facility discharges into a zero flow stream. Therefore, the facility is required to
meet very stringent effluent limits. Several facilities across the state have been faced
with the same problem and have either upgraded the facility to meet the restrictive limits
or moved the discharge location. We understand this is a burden on the facility, but we
need to be consistent across the board.-The facility needs to seriously consider
removing the discharge from this unnamed tributary due to the fact of documented
waster quality problems on this watershed.
Due to the fact that the facility has not identified any alternatives to direct surface water
discharge, the facility will be required to meet 5 and 2 limits (See attached EAA
document). The permit renewal was drafted with a compliance schedule of three years
to meet the revised limits. The limits will become effective May 1 2002.
The following notes were taken during the review of the application package:
• 303(d) List Review: Facility is not listed on North Carolina's 1998 303(d)
List.
• Review of Basin Plan: Muddy Creek is impacted by both urban runoff and
wastewater discharges. Elevated Fecal Coliform levels are common in this
watershed. Improvement in the water quality of Muddy Creek will require
additional action on the part of Forsyth County and the City of Winston-
Salem. .
• Wasteload Allocation (prepared 06/28/93): BOD TSS, pH and fecal limits
were determined to be secondary. DO was limited at 5 mg/l. Instream
monitoring was recommended for temperature, DO, and fecal coliform and
conductivity. Facility has requested that upstream monitoring for
Temperature and Conductivity be dropped. Region please comment on
this request.
The facility discharges into a stream classified as zero flow (both 7Q10 and
30Q2 are zero). The WLA included language indicating the discharge should
be removed when an alternative becomes available.
The permit renewal was drafted with 5 and 2 limits based on the fact that
they are discharging into a zero flow stream. The current limits will remain
effective the first three years of the renewal. After this time, the 5 and 2
limits will become effective. Region please comment of the time frame
given to comply with the revised limits.
• Results of EAA Prepared by facility:
The following discharge options were studied:

FACT SHEET FOR NPDES PERMIT DEVELOPMENT
NPDES No. NCO065587
Connection to sewers stem: No POTW connection available. This was
verified by the Winston-Sa em Public Utilities Planning Department.
Subsurface Disposal: Land adjacent to the existing package plant has been
considered unsuita e for a subsurface system. _
Land Application: Cost of this system was estimated to be very high in
proportion to the wastewater generated.
Relocation of Discharge: Cost of this alternative was estimated to be very
high in proportion to the wastewater generated. This may be the only
feasible option if they can't meet 5 and 2 limits.
Keep Existing Discharge: This alternative was considered the most
economically teasible option. Although they don't think they will be able to
meet 5 and 2 limits with the existing system. They are not sure how they are
going to fund the upgrade.

• DMR Review: /
One BOD and one TSS monthly average violation was reported in 1997.
One TSS daily maximum violation was reported in 1997. One BOD and two

RE: Draft NPDES Permit
Permit No. NCO065587
Frye Bridge WWTP
Forsyth County
Dear Mr. Templeton:
In follow up to our previous conversation, this is to advise that Mid South Water Systems, Inc.
objects to the Draft Permit dated April 14, 1999. The objection we have relates to the composite
sampling requirements for all parameters. Our objection is based on the fact that certain types of
samples can never be collected by composite means (i.e. pH, D.O., temperature, chlorine, etc.)
Furthermore, based on the size of the plant (0.027 MGD)we do not feel there is a real need for
the "composite" sample requirement.
Therefore, we respectfully request that the composite requirement for any parameter be stricken
from the permit.
If you should have any questions regarding this issue, please contact me at your earliest
convenience.
Sincerely,
Tony R. Parker ry

To: Mike Templeton <mike_templeton@h2o.enr.state.nc.us>
I agree with your comments and appreciate that Evans is just trying to understand his permit. Most of the time we
do send cover letters with the draft permits, so I'm not sure what the deal is with this one. My guess is that Jeff
simply applied the rules on the composite sampling and Evans is asking for consideration of deviance from these.
(It also could be that Jeff misapplied the rules, which allow grab samples for discharges <30,000 gpd.) Obviously,
his last comment is a wording issue. The 5/2 -- I'm not sure about this one. This shouldn't be a new requirement.
My take on this is to let Evans know that we're down staff and that it'll be easier for Jeff to get back to him after we
receive his written comments. Unfortunately, Jeffs schedule doesn't allow him to return calls like this during
normal business hours. One other option I didn't think of earlier is that he can leave a message on Jeffs
answering machine (ext. 597). I'll ask Jeff which he'd prefer for future reference. Thanks for your help.
Mike Templeton wrote:
I will call Mr. Evans back and remind him to put his comments in writing to us. In this case, however, he wants
to talk with someone who can explain why we made the changes in his permit, more for the sake of
understanding them than for challenging them. If he more clearly understood what is going on, he may not even
have any comments.
Soapbox note: I think we should routinely provide a summary of permit changes with the draft permits, either by
adding it to the cover letters or by enclosing the fact sheets with the permits. Permittees need to understand
what their permits require and why, so they can take the necessary steps to meet those requirements. At the
very least, it would avoid a lot of confusion among the permittees, which might otherwise lead to adjudications
or- at the least- more misunderstandings.
Dave Goodrich wrote:
Mike-
Did you tell Tony to put his comments in writing? If not, would you please call and advise him to do so?. This
will enable us to consider his comments in the final permit without having to rely on Jeff to fit a return call into
his rather hectic schedule.
Thanks,
Dave
Mike Templeton wrote:
Tony Evans of Mid-South Water Systems called this morning about the Frye Bridge permit(NC0065587)
now out for review. He has some questions/comments and would like to talk with someone about them. Is
this something for Jeff to handle and do his work hours here allow it? Please advise. Mr. Evans' phone
number is 828-478-2785.
Here are the issues he mentioned on the phone:
. switch from grab to composite sampling. Plant is 27,000 gpd, and comps are excessive even if the
plant does not have adequate equalization up front.
. 5/2 limits. Again, it's a small plant. He believes they can probably meet the limits for a while -with
plant improvements- but will have problems meeting them in the future.
. downstream sampling point. The road crossing given is a culvert, not a bridge. Just needs
clarification.

Thanks for the note. I just spoke with a lady from Heater Utilities.
She indicated that the draft permit proposed composite sampling for fecal
and pH. This is probably a mistake. Those are two of the parameters we
maintain grab samples for regardless of flow.

Dear Mr. Weber:
A draft copy of NPDES permit NCO065587 is attached to this letter for your review and comment.
Please review the draft carefully and submit any comments in writing within 30 days. Please be advised
that the following changes have been incorporated into the permit renewal:
The permit expiration date has been changed. The permit renewal will expire on May 31,
2004. The expiration date has been revised so that an equal number of permit renewals will
come in at any one time. This change will allow the Division to issue permits more
efficiently.
The stream classification for the unnamed tributary to Muddy Creek, at the location of yourldyl�
point source discharge, has been changed from C to WS-IV.
i The summer and winter limits for$AB-arid ammonia have been revised./fhe facility will _
have to meet a-$AD-limit-of-5-m5°7"ancr-ate ammonia limit of 2.0 ma/1/by May 1, 2002.
These limits were incorporated into the permit renewal because the facility discharges into a
zero now stream. -Ne-a Item ative discharge options-have-been>i den tified.�
i Special Condition E has been deleted. An EAA was submitted with the renewal application.
i The upstream and downstream monitoring requirements for pH have been deleted. Division
policy does not require instream pH monitoring.

The upstream and downstream monitoring requirements for conductivity and temperature
have been deleted. It has been determined that these sampling requirements are no longer
necessary. H y rcc..1
The sample type for all parameters has been changed from grab samples to composite
samples at the request of the Regional office. The Region requested this revision due to the
fact that the WWTP does not have an equalization basin. In addition, it was noted that an
upstream pump station causes frequent hydraulic surges in the system.
i Quarterly monitoring for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus has been included in the draft
permit. The Division has included these monitoring requirements for all dischargers in the
Yadkin Basin. The results of this additional monitoring will be used in the development of a
nutrient management strategy for the Yadkin Basin.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Charles Weaver at (919) 733-5083.

Dear Mr. Goodrich:
Mid South requests renewal of the above permit. In support of our request and to comply with permit
requirements,we are enclosing One(1)copy of an engineering report examining wastewater disposal
alternatives. A copy of the report is also being forwarded to your Winston-Salem office.
We propose to continue to discharge at the same location and with the same limits as in the current permit.
The engineering report concludes that upgrading the plant to meet limits of 5 mg/I BOD5 and 2 mg/l NH3-N
is economically unreasonable. Other alternatives studied in the evaluation were more expensive than the
plant upgrade. The plant serves a subdivision with 55 potential connections and there arc no plans for
expansion. With the low number of customers, the cost of an upgrade is prohibitive. Furthermore,there is no
indication that the discharge from the plant on the tributary is causing a significant detrimental impact. We
hope that you will be able to consider this as you review our renewal request.
We request a minor modification in the monitoring requirements as they may be written in the renewed
permit. We suggest that time upstream monitoring of pH,conductivity, and temperature be dropped and that
the monitoring of these parameters in the effluent be required at maximum on a weekly schedule.
I certify under penalty of law,that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or
supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and
evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system,
or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information,the information submitted is, to time best

submitting false information, including the possibility of fines and imprisonment for knowing violations.

A. Existing Facility
' The existing facility is a package wastewater treatment system serving the Frye Bridge
Subdivision. The Frye Bridge Development is comprised of approximately 55 dwellings.
' The design flow for the system is 27,000 gallons per day. The treatment system includes
a bar screen, flow monitoring, aeration basin, clarifier, aerated sludge holding tank,
chlorine contact tank, and post aeration.
' B. Compliance History
8 Monitoring data for all of 1997 has shown an average daily flow of 0.0086 million
e gallons per day (MGD), an average biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) concentration of
8.7 mg/L, an average total suspended solids of 13.8 mg/L, an average effluent dissolved
oxygen (DO) concentration of 7.60 mg/L, and an average Ammonia as Nitrogen
concentration of 3.98 mg/L. Based on this data, the impact of the Frye Bridge discharge
' upon the receiving waters should be minimal.
IL EVALUATION
A. Connection to Sewerage System (Alternative 1)
1.0 Feasibility
The closest municipal sewer system to the Frye Bridge WWTP is the publicly owned
Muddy Creek WWTP. According to Stan Webb, WWTP Operations Manager, City of
Winston-Salem, the publicly owned treatment works (POTW) has sufficient flow
capacity and would be willing to accept wastewater from the subdivision provided
approval is given by the Winston-Salem Public Utilities Department.
' z MIDSOUIN\FRYEBRDGTRYEBRDG.DOC
' The closest sewer manhole was located at approximately 7,000 feet from the package
plant. It is feasible that a pump station and force main could be constructed to connect
Frye Bridge to the sanitary sewer system, provided that required right-of-ways could be
obtained.
e
2.0 Cost
' 2.1 Capital Cost
A breakdown of the estimated capital costs to install a pump station and force main to the
City sewer system are shown in Table 1. The costs include the installation of a new dual
pump station and controls with redundant power supply and a new 7,000 LF 4-inch PVC
force main. For cost estimating purposes, Triangle has selected a life expectancy of 20
eyears. Triangle assumes that two pumps will be replaced every seven years.
2.2 Operating Cost
The estimated operating costs are also included in Table 1. The operating costs include
the pump station power.usage, necessary maintenance for regular cleaning and repairs,
' and the sewer fee. The sewer fee is based on 100% of water consumption, and a usage
fee of$1.229 per 100 cf(100 cf=approximately 750 gallons).

' B. Subsurface Disposal (Alternative 2)
1.0 Feasibility
Triangle performed several soil borings within a 2-acre area adjacent to the treatment
plant. Based on soil boring information and information obtained from the Forsyth
County Soil Survey, the soils, in general, can be described as Pacolet clay loams,
Chewacla loams, with some Appling loams. These poorly drained areas consist of loams
' and silty clay loams from 0 to 2 feet, and clays and silty clays through a depth of
approximately 3.5 feet below surface. Evidence of a seasonal high water table of
approximately 3.5 feet was observed and a seasonal high water table of 1.5 feet below
surface has been published in the soil survey. Soils of this nature have been characterized
as provisionally suitable for land application systems. NCAC T15A .1942 states that sites
where soil wetness conditions are present within less than 36 inches below the naturally
occurring soil surface shall be considered unsuitable.
The topography of the area near the package plant can be described as hilly terrain with
slopes ranging from 10%to 50%.
In Triangle's opinion, subsurface disposal is not a technically feasible alternative due to
' the presence of marginal soils, a high seasonal high water table, and the degree of site
relief exceeding that recommended for these types of treatment systems.
2.0 Cost
Since subsurface disposal is not considered to be technically feasible, the cost of this type
of treatment system was not examined.

C. Spray Irrigation (Alternative 3)
1.0 Feasibility
Triangle investigated the possibility of constructing a spray irrigation disposal system for
Frye Bridge. Based on soil borings performed by Triangle personnel and a soil
classification of Chewacla loams, Pacolet clay loams, and Appling loams, Triangle has
recommended an application rate of 0.50 to 0.75 inches/acre/week. Triangle contacted
Mike Mickey,North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), Winston-Salem
Regional Office, who verified that these application rates were within the feasible design
range for this part of Forsyth County. Using a 0.027 MGD design flow rate, a spray field
of 9.3 acres is required. It is estimated that adding the required buffer areas to the spray
field could increase the total land requirements to 12 to 14 acres. A total of 32 acres is
potentially available as adjacent property. The 32 acres is a moderately to heavily
ewooded area consisting of young soft wood pines and cedar trees. Naturally occurring
drainage features and the presence of a creek and its tributaries could limit the total usable
acreage to less than 15 acres.
2.0 Cost
2.1 Capital Cost
' The cost to construct a spray irrigation disposal system has been estimated and is
presented in Table 2. It is estimated that a total of 40 to 50 sprinkler heads will be
required. In addition, a 60 day lined wet weather holding pond would be required. Since
there can be a high seasonal high water table in this area, there is the potential need for a
significant amount of fill to construct the dike walls, making lagoon construction costly.
Based on the permitted flowrate (of 27,000 GPD) as a design rate, the wet weather
holding pond would be approximately 1.62 Mgal (2/3 acre pond, 8' deep). Since there is
limited suitable space near the package plant, two pump stations would be required. One
5
MIDSOUrMFRYEBRDGTRYEBRDG.DOC -
' pump station to convey package plant effluent to the holding pond and a second irrigation
pump station.
2.2 Operating Cost
1 The estimated operating costs are also included in Table 2. The operating costs include
the transfer pump station power usage, the irrigation pump station power usage, labor to
perform necessary maintenance on both pump stations, and spray nozzles.
I). Relocation of Discharge (Alternative 4)
1.0 Feasibility
It is technically feasible to relocate the package plant discharge to a different stream or
downstream where the 7Q10>0. Triangle searched the USGS Water Supply Paper 2403
(Low-Flow Characteristics of Streams in North Carolina) for a continuous or partial-
record gauging station. No 7Q10 data could be found for the streams in question. A
tributary to the present receiving water is located approximately 4,000 feet downstream
of the existing discharge. Triangle has estimated that at this point the 7Q10>0.
Approximately four right-of-way agreements would be required to obtain an easement for
installation of a gravity sewer line; these have been assumed to be attainable.
2.0 Cost
2.1 Capital Cost
The estimated capital costs shown on Table 3 include costs associated with a 4,000 linear
feet of gravity 8-inch sewer pipe installation, the site work needed along the creek, and an
estimate for acquiring the necessary easements.
6
MIDSOLM BFRYEBRDGIFRYEBRDG.DOC
2.2 Operating Cost
jThe estimated operating costs included on Table 3 are for maintaining the existing
treatment system and the new gravity sewer line.
E. Existing Discharge (Alternative 5)
1.0 Feasibility
The existing NPDES effluent permit monthly limits are 30 mg/1 BOD5 and 30 mg/1 TSS.
There are presently no permit limits for NH3-N and DO.
Since the receiving stream is a 7Q10=0 surface water, Mid South is required by permit to
eexamine the cost of constructing facility upgrades to meet new limits of 5 mg/L BOD5, 2
mg/L NH3-N, 6 mg/L minimum DO, and 17 ug/L chlorine.
It is technically feasible to construct upgrades to the package plant for the additional
treatment required to meet the proposed limits. These upgrades would consist of
increasing the size of the aeration basin to approximately 32,000 gallons (in order to
decrease the BOD mass loading rates to 1 lb BOD/d/1,000 CF of aeration, this will also
increase hydraulic detention at 0.027 MGD flow from 24 hours to 30 hours), installation
' of a deep bed sand filter, installation of fine bubble diffusers within a new post-aeration
basin, and addition of a tablet dechlorinator. Although mono-medium deep bed sand
filters are typically used to increase TSS removal, a beneficial BOD reduction is
' observed.
7 MIDSOUn RFRYEBRDG\FRYEBRDG.DOC -
1 2.0 Cost
2.1 Capital Cost
A breakdown of the estimated capital costs to upgrade the package plant are shown in
Table 4. The costs include the installation of a tertiary sand filter with backwash holding-
tank, additional aeration basin capacity, a tablet dechlorinator, a post-aeration basin with
fine bubble diffusers, and upgrades to the existing clarifier and return sludge piping. For
cost estimating purposes, Triangle has selected a life expectancy of 20 years.
2.2 Operating Cost
The estimated operating costs for the treatment plant are shown in Table 4. The operating
costs include the power usage, operator labor, monitoring requirements, regular
maintenance, and solids disposal.
III. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Capital Cost, Operating Cost, and the Present Worth for the discharge alternatives
Triangle believes to be technically feasible are summarized in Table 5. The Present
Worth has been computed based on a 20-year term at an interest rate of 8%. Conclusions
for each technically feasible alternative are presented below:
8 MIDS01J_MFRYEBRDQFRYEBRDG.DOC
' ALTERNATE 1: CONNECTION TO SEWERAGE SYSTEM
' A pump station with redundant power source and 7,000 linear foot 4-inch PVC force
main would need to be installed to convey wastewater to the City outfall sewer. The
cost of this alternative is very high in proportion to the volume of wastewater, and
further consideration for this alternative is not recommended.
• The discharge of the Frye Bridge domestic waste to the City POTW may be the
preferred alternative at a future date if further development of the area results in
gravity sewer being installed in closer proximity to the package plant. Bobby Huff of
the City of Winston-Salem Public Utilities Planning Department said that there are no
future plans to install a public sewer line in this area; however, if a public sewer line
were to be installed, the cost for connection to the POTW may no longer be
prohibitive.
ALTERNATE 2: SUBSURFACE DISPOSAL
The land area adjacent to the existing package plant has been considered unsuitable for a
subsurface disposal system. Therefore, subsurface disposal is not recommended.
ALTERNATE 3: LAND APPLICATION (SPRAY IRRIGATION)
A spray irrigation system has been considered as a non-discharge alternative. However,
the cost of this alternative is extremely high in proportion to the volume of wastewater,
and further consideration for this alternative is not recommended.
9
MIDSOUTHTRYEBRDGIFRYFBRDG.DOC
i .
ALTERNATE 4: RELOCATING THE DISCHARGE
The discharge could feasibly be relocated 4,000 feet downstream of the existing point of
discharge into the same receiving water where the 7Q 10 may be greater than zero.
Triangle cannot quantify any significant benefit to water quality from this additional
construction. Further, the construction of the gravity lines inherent to this alternative may
be somewhat detrimental to water quality due to a reduction in the effluent recharge rate
and temporary siltation from installation of the sewer lines. The cost of this alternative is
very high in proportion to the volume of wastewater. Therefore, this alternative is not
recommended.
ALTERNATE 5: EXISTING DISCHARGE
• According to the economic analysis presented in this report, continuing the current
discharge is the most cost-effective alternative. However, the cost of constructing
plant upgrades to the Frye Bridge WWTP to meet the limits proposed in Section E,
Part III of the current NPDES permit, is considered very high in proportion to the
volume of wastewater discharged. It will be very difficult to impose a rate increase
on Frye Bridge customers in order to finance the upgrade. It is anticipated that the
Public Utility Commission will not approve this rate increase.
i
• Based on the historical monitoring history, the current plant most likely has minimal
iimpact upon the water quality of the existing receiving water. Using 1997 average
effluent concentrations and an average daily flowrate of 8,600 GPD (see Table 6),
imass loadings of 0.6 lb BOD/day and 0.7 lb NH3-N/day have been calculated. In
addition, the in-stream monitoring data indicate no significant decreases in DO in the
receiving stream.

' IV. SUMMARY
tA summary of the Present Worth Cost Estimates and Capital Cost and Annual Operating
Cost Components is included as Table 5 herein. The 20-year present worth of continuing
to operate the present plant and performing upgrades is estimated to be S381,131. The
tnext most financially feasible alternative is connecting to the public sewer system, with
estimated present worth of$469,134, approximately 23% greater than continuing the
present discharge. Therefore, the most economically sound discharge alternative is
continuation of the present discharge.
In Triangle's professional opinion, passing the capital costs of a major plant upgrade onto
athe Frye Bridge customers to meet 5 mg/L BOD and 2 mg/L NH3-N limits is
unreasonable, especially when the cost per gallon treated is considered. It should also be
noted that the nearby Muddy Creek POTW has an effluent BOD limit of 25 mg/L, no
winter NH3-N limit, and a summer NH3-N limit of 14 mg/L. The POTW discharges to
aMuddy Creek and Frye Bridge W WTP discharges to an unnamed tributary of Muddy
Creek. It is less than one and one-half miles from the discharge of the Frye Bridge
' treatment plant to Muddy Creek. This means that the majority of the BOD in the Frye
Bridge plant effluent is exerted in Muddy Creek, not in the tributary.
Assuming the POTW is at one half of its 21 MGD capacity, the mass loading of this plant
effluent into Muddy Creek would be more than one thousand times greater than that of
the Frye Bridge W WTP (at its current average flowrate and permit limits). Since no ill
effects on the receiving stream are apparent in the historical in-stream DO monitoring
data, continuing the current discharge under the existing permit limits is considered
environmentally and economically sound. Therefore, Triangle recommends that the new
' NPDES permit be issued with the same permit limits as the existing permit.
