Briefly describe the proposed permitting action and facility background: Town of Fuquay-Varina has
applied for an NPDES permit renewal for the Terrible Creek WWTP in October 2018. This facility
serves a population of 11,900 residents and operates a pretreatment program currently with one
Categorical Industrial User (CIU). The facility has an Outfall 001 that discharges to Terrible Creek, which
is currently classified C-NSW waters in Neuse River Basin. The 3 MGD expansion has been completed
for the facility in 2018, as a result, the 1.0 MGD flow tier has been removed from the permit.

4. Instream Data Summary
Page 3 of 15
Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example: 1) to verify model predictions
when model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/1 of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to
verify model predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future TMDL; 4) based on other
instream concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also
Monitoring Coalitions established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in
which case instream monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained).
If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will be proposed for this
permit action: The current permit requires instream monitoring for dissolved oxygen, temperature, and
fecal coliform. Because the facility is a participant in the Lower Neuse Basin Association (LNBA), the
instream monitoring requirements are waived. There is an LNBA monitoring station J4980000
downstream of the discharge, after the confluence of Terrible Creek and Middle Creek. Data were
reviewed from July 2017 through June 2020. There is no upstream monitoring station available.

Note: Instream data are summarized for the period of July 2017 through June 2020.
DO: the range for downstream DO was 6.1 to 12.1 mg/L. The instream DO data indicated a minimum
daily average of 5.0 mg/L was maintained in the receiving stream [per 15A NCAC 02B .0211(6)].
Temperature: the range for downstream temperature was 4 deg c to 27.2 deg c. The maximum instream
temperature was less than 32 deg c for lower piedmont and coastal plain waters, which met the
requirement per 15A NCAC 02B .0211(18).
Fecal Coliform: the fecal coliform samples were only taken once per month, but some results were
relatively high. A review of the violations from July 2017 through June 2020 indicated there was no limit
violation for effluent fecal coliform during that period. This downstream station J4980000 is located after
the confluence of Terrible Creek and Middle Creek. There are several NPDES facilities which discharge
to Middle Creek. A monitoring station J4868000 is downstream of these facilities. The fecal coliform data
from station J4868000 indicated an average of 217.4 cfu/100 ml. Other point sources/non-point sources
along the Terrible Creek may also contribute to the instream fecal coliform measured at station J4980000.
Conductivity: the previous permit did not have instream monitoring requirements for conductivity,
because the Town used to have an active Short Term Monitoring Program but was not accepting flow
from any SIUs. However, currently the Town operates a full pretreatment program with one Categorical
Industrial User (CIU). As a result, monitoring requirements for instream conductivity and effluent
conductivity have been added to this permit.
This permit renewal maintains the instream monitoring requirements for dissolved oxygen, temperature,
and fecal coliform, but also added monitoring requirements for instream conductivity.
Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (Y/N): Yes
Page 4 of 15
Name of Monitoring Coalition: Lower Neuse Basin Association
5. Compliance Summary
Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): From November 2015
through October 2020, the facility reported two Fecal Coliform limit violations in 2017, three BOD5 limit
violations, one flow limit violation, seven NH3-N limit violations, and one TSS limit violation in 2018,
and two TP limit violations in 2020. Most of these violations have been proceeded to enforcement cases.
Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results
(past 5 years): The facility passed 20 of 20 quarterly chronic toxicity tests. The facility also passed all
second species chronic toxicity tests in October 2018, November 2018, December 2018, and January
2019.
Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The last facility inspection conducted
on 12/2/2019 reported that all treatment units were in operation, and records were kept and maintained as
required by the permit.
6. Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs)
Dilution and Mixing Zones
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0206, the following streamflows are used for dilution considerations
for development of WQBELs: 1Q10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic
Life; non -carcinogen HH); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH).
If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMIX model results): NA
If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B. 0204(b): NA
Oxygen -Consuming Waste Limitations
Limitations for oxygen -consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to
ensure protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits
(e.g., BOD= 30 mg/1 for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and
model results.
If permit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed: Limits for BOD5
were based on a WLA from 1990 and tertiary treatment requirements for effluent dominated streams. Per
15A NCAC 02B .0206 (d), if the 7Q10 flow is zero, and the 30Q2 flow is greater than zero, effluent
limits for new or expanded discharges of oxygen consuming waste shall be set as BOD5=5 mg/1, NH3-
N=2 mg/1 and DO=6mg/l. Because this rule is for new or expanding discharge, the limits at 3 MGD
remain the same as the ones in the draft permit. At 6 MGD, the DO limit has been corrected from 5 mg/1
to 6 mg/1, and BOD5 limits for winter have been corrected from 10 mg/1 to 5 mg/1 as monthly average and
from 15 mg/1 to 7.5 mg/1 as weekly average. Since the winter BOD5 and summer BOD5 limits are the
same after the revision, there are no seasonal limits for BOD5 at 6 MGD.
Page 5 of 15
Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations
Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of
1.0 mg/1 (summer) and 1.8 mg/1 (winter). Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria,
utilizing a multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non -Municipals.
Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection
of aquatic life (17 ug/1) and capped at 28 ug/1 (acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values
reported below 50 ug/1 are considered compliant with their permit limit.
Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: There are no
proposed changes for NH3 limits. The existing limitations are protective, see the attached NH3/TRC WLA
calculations at 3 MGD and 6 MGD. It is noticed that the winter ammonia limit at 6 MGD was 1.9 mg/1
based on the WLA calculation, but the limit was rounded to 2 mg/1 in the last permit.
For TRC, given that the facility utilizes only ultraviolet for disinfection and no chlorine is present on the
site as backup disinfection, the total residual chlorine (TRC) limit and monitoring requirement have been
removed from the permit at both the 3.0 and the 6.0 MGD flow tiers.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants
If applicable, conduct RPA analysis and complete information below.
The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality
standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent
effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC
RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero
background; 3) use of Y2 detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) streamflows used for dilution
consideration based on 15A NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of
dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of
Instream Dissolved Metals Standards, dated June 10, 2016.
A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between February 2016
and October 2020. Based on the dataset, reasonable potential to violate state WQS was shown for copper
and zinc. Per the discussion with the Town, it is understood that the facility completed its 3 MGD
expansion and went into operation in June 2018. The Town constructed a brand new 3 MGD plant on the
same site as the former 1 MGD plant. The design of the old and new facilities is completely different, as a
result, the effluent quality is different. Therefore, for copper and zinc, the data being used for RPA start
from June 2018. Copper still shows reasonable potential to violate WQS so limits have been added into
the permit. Zinc does not show reasonable potential to exceed WQS, however, depending on the data
which comes back on the next permit cycle, the facility could end up with a limit. In summary, the
following permitting actions are proposed for this permit:
• Effluent Limit with Monitoring. The following parameters will receive a water quality -based
effluent limit (WQBEL) since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable
water quality standards/criteria: Copper
• Monitoring Only. The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they
did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria,
but the maximum predicted concentration was >50% of the allowable concentration: Beryllium
(defer to LTMP), Zinc (quarterly monitoring)
• No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since
they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality
Page 6 of 15
standards/criteria and the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable
concentration: Arsenic, Cadmium, total Chromium, Cyanide, Lead, Nickel, Selenium, Silver,
Total Phenolic Compounds
• POTW Effluent Pollutant Scan Review: Three effluent pollutant scans were evaluated for
additional pollutants of concern.
o The following parameter(s) will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL)
with monitoring, since as part of a limited data set, two samples exceeded the allowable
discharge concentration: NA
o The following parameter(s) will receive a monitor -only requirement, since as part of a
limited data set, one sample exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: NA
Attached are the RPA results, as well as a copy of the guidance entitled "NPDES Implementation of
Instream Dissolved Metals Standards — Freshwater Standards".
Toxicity Testing Limitations
Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in
accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits
issued to Major facilities or any facility discharging "complex" wastewater (contains anything other than
domestic waste) will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements, with several
exceptions. The State has received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in
NPDES permits, using single concentration screening tests, with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test
failure.
Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: This is a Major POTW, and a chronic WET limit at 90%
effluent will continue on a quarterly frequency.
Mercury Statewide TMDL Evaluation
There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply
with EPA's mercury fish tissue criteria (0.3 mg/kg) for human health protection. The TMDL established a
wasteload allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year (81 lb/year), and is applicable to municipals and
industrial facilities with known mercury discharges. Given the small contribution of mercury from point
sources (-2% of total load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MA4Ps) for point source
control. Municipal facilities > 2 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury (>1 ng/1) will
receive an MMP requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case -by -case basis, depending if mercury is a
pollutant of concern. Effluent limits may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed
the WQBEL value (based on the NC WQS of 12 ng/1) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL
value of 47 ng/1.

Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: Since no annual average mercury
concentration exceeded the WQBEL, and no individual mercury sample exceeded the TBEL, no mercury
limit is required. However, since the facility is >2 MGD and reported quantifiable levels of mercury (> 1
ng/1), a mercury minimization plan (MMP) has been added to the permit.
Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations
Neuse River Nitrogen TMDL and Nutrient Management Strategy
The Neuse River estuary has an extensive history of nutrient -related water quality impacts and was
classified as Nutrient Sensitive Waters in 1988. Nutrient Management Strategy rules were first adopted in
December 1997 and modified in 2000 and 2020. The wastewater discharge rule, 15A NCAC 2B .0713
(formerly .0234), established requirements for control of Total Nitrogen (TN) from point source
discharges. It requires TN limits for all dischargers with a permitted capacity of 0.5 MGD or greater and
allows the transfer of allocation among the Neuse dischargers so long as the total of estuary allocations
and loads do not exceed those allowed in the 1999 TN TMDL. The rule also sets technology -based limits
for Total Phosphorus (TP).
The wastewater rule provides a group compliance option through which interested dischargers can work
collectively to comply with an aggregate TN limit. This approach allows the members some flexibility in
meeting the TN targets of the TMDL. The dischargers establish a group compliance association and apply
for a group NPDES permit to which the association and its members are co-permittees. All conditions of
the members' individual permits remain in full effect except for the TN Load limits. The co-permittee
members are deemed to be in compliance with the TN limits in their individual permits and are subject
instead to the aggregate limit in the group permit. The group's TN limit is the sum of the members' active
estuary allocations.
The Neuse River Compliance Association was formed in 2002 and, at this writing, comprises 24 members
and 27 treatment facilities. Its group NPDES permit, NCC000001, was last re -issued December 12, 2018.
The Town elected to not join the Association and so remains subject to the TN Load limit in this
individual permit.
Nitrogen Allocations and Offset Credits
Per the Neuse wastewater rule, 15A NCAC 02B .0713 (formerly 02B .0234), the Town of Fuquay-Varina
was assigned a base Total Nitrogen (TN) discharge allocation of 67,579 lb/yr. This was the basis for its
original (2003) TN discharge limit. It has since connected two smaller utilities and acquired their
allocations, so its holdings and limit are now 68,489 lb/yr TN, as summarized in the table below.
Based on its location in the basin, the facility was assigned a transport factor of 50%; thus, its current
discharge allocation is equivalent to a load of 34,244 lb/yr delivered to the estuary. (Transport factors and
delivered loads come into play when transferring allocation or offset credits to or from a discharger.)

Other WQBEL Considerations
If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: NA
If applicable, describe any special actions (HQW or ORW) this receiving stream and classification shall
comply with in order to protect the designated waterbody: NA
If applicable, describe any compliance schedules proposed for this permit renewal in accordance with
15A NCAC 2H.0107(c) (2) (B), 40CFR 122.47, and EPA May 2007 Memo: NA
If applicable, describe any water quality standards variances proposed in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.3(e) and 15A NCAC 2B. 0226 for this permit renewal: NA
7. Technology -Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs)
Are concentration limits in the permit at least as stringent as secondary treatment requirements (30 mg/l
BOD5/TSS for Monthly Average, and 45 mg/l for BOD5/TSS for Weekly Average). YES
If NO, provide a justification for alternative limitations (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA
Are 85% removal requirements for BOD5/TSS included in the permit? YES
If NO, provide a justification (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA
8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge):
The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not
degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation
review in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit
must document an effort to consider non -discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.0105( c)(2). In all
cases, existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is
maintained and protected.
If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives
Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: NA
9. Antibacksliding Review:
Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(1) prohibit
backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a
reissued permit to be as stringent as those in the previous permit, with some exceptions where limitations
Page 9 of 15
may be relaxed (e.g., based on new information, increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL
limits, or WQBELs may be less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution).
Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit (YES/NO): NO
If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated: NA
10. Monitoring Requirements
Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following
regulations and guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 2B.0500; 2)
NPDES Guidance, Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances (7/15/2010 Memo); 3) NPDES Guidance,
Reduced Monitoring Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance (10/22/2012 Memo); 4) Best
Professional Judgement (BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not
considered effluent limitations under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti -
backsliding prohibitions would not be triggered by reductions in monitoring frequencies.
For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4.
The Town requested a reduction in monitoring frequency for BOD5, Ammonia (requested in 2021), TSS
and Fecal Coliform. However, the Monitoring Frequency Reduction guidance has been clarified to
primarily apply to existing permitted flows with a minimum three-year sampling data to demonstrate
consistent, long-term treatment performance under modified conditions. The facility was not operated at
the current 3 MGD until July 2018. Therefore, the monitoring frequencies for BOD5, TSS and Fecal
Coliform cannot be reduced until at least 3-year data are obtained and assessed. A footnote has been added
to A. (1.) in the permit to indicate the permittee can request reduction in monitoring frequencies to twice
per week with three years of satisfactory data (presently there are 34-month data available and two
additional satisfactory consecutive months will be required) per the Monitoring Frequency Reduction
Review Guidance for exceptionally performing facilities.
11. Electronic Reporting Requirements
The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21, 2015. Effective
December 21, 2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports
(DMRs) electronically. While NPDES regulated facilities would initially be required to submit additional
NPDES reports electronically effective December 21, 2020, EPA extended this deadline from December
21, 2020, to December 21, 2025. The current compliance date, effective January 4, 2021, was extended as
a final regulation change published in the November 2, 2020 Federal Register. This permit contains the
requirements for electronic reporting, consistent with Federal requirements.
12.Summary of Proposed Permitting Actions:
The limits and monitoring at 1.0 MGD flow tier have been removed from the permit since the completion
of 3.0 MGD expansion. Permit conditions, limits, and their proposed changes for 3.0 MGD and 6.0 MGD
are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8.

13. Public Notice Schedule:
Page 13 of 15
Permit to Public Notice: 03/9/2021
Per 15A NCAC 2H .0109 & .0111, The Division will receive comments for a period of 30 days following
the publication date of the public notice. Any request for a public hearing shall be submitted to the
Director within the 30 days comment period indicating the interest of the party filing such request and the
reasons why a hearing is warranted.
14. NPDES Division Contact:
If you have questions regarding any of the above information or on the attached permit, please contact Min
Xiao at (919) 707-3644 or via email at min.xiao(ancdenr.gov
15. Fact Sheet Addendum (if applicable):
Were there any changes made since the Draft Permit was public noticed (Yes/No): Yes
If Yes, list changes and their basis below:
1. The permittee made a comment on April 13, 2021 to request a minor change of the component
list. The description of solids dewatering facility has been modified as two (2) 3-belt filter presses
with gravity thickening ability.
2. The 7Q10 for the receiving stream is zero while 30Q2 is greater than zero. Per 15A NCAC 02B
.0206 (d), for the expanded discharges of 6 MGD, oxygen consuming waste shall be set as BOD5
= 5 mg/1, NH3-N = 2 mg/1, and DO = 6 mg/1. As a result, the winter BOD5 limits have been
corrected to 5 mg/1 as monthly average and 7.5 mg/1 as weekly average, and the daily average of
DO has been corrected from 5 mg/1 to 6 mg/1.
3. Footnote 12 has been added to A. (1.) in the permit to indicate the Permittee can request reduction
in monitoring frequencies to twice per week with three years of satisfactory data (presently there
are 34-month data available and two additional satisfactory consecutive months will be required)
per the Monitoring Frequency Reduction Review Guidance for exceptionally performing
facilities.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The subject NPDES permit was issued January 01, 2016 and expired April 30, 2019. The permit is
currently under review.
The 3.0 MGD Class WW-3 WWTP consists of the following units: three (3) EQ basins; influent pump
station with six (6) pumps; mechanical coarse bar screens; 1/4- inch mechanical bar screens; grit
cyclone and classifier; two (2) five -stage conventional BNR basins; two (2) secondary clarifiers; RAS
pump station; two (2) Leopold Ultrascreen disk style filtration units; two (2) UV disinfection channels,
each with two service and one redundant bank of UV lamps; ultrasonic effluent flow meter; cascade
aeration; WAS pump station; one (1) aerated sludge holding tank; gravity belt thickeners; two (2) three
belt filter presses; truck loading facility for off -site composting.
At the time of inspection, all units were in operation. The three EQ basins were empty. All six influent
pumps were in operation. Screenings and grit are conveyed to a dumpster to be landfilled. The color of
the influent in the BNR reaeration zone appeared to be chocolate brown. There was no foaming.
Caustic is being fed to reduce total phosphorus. Weirs in both secondary clarifiers were clean with no
obstruction. Effluent flowing off the weirs appeared clear. Sludge blanket depths in both secondary
clarifiers were one foot. Both UV channels were in operation. Effluent flowing in the UV channels and a
the outfall appeared clear with no foaming. Gravity belt thickeners and the belt filter presses were in
operation. Sludge was being dewatered and loaded onto a tractor trailer truck.
Discharge Monitoring Reports for the review period February 2018 through September 2019 for
compliance with permit limits and monitoring requirements. The following are noted: Enforcement case
MV-2018-0013 for Quarterly monitoring violations for Total Zinc and Total Copper for March 2018. This
case is still open. Enforcement case LV-2018-0211 for ammonia nitrogen monthly average violation for
April 2018. This case is closed. Enforcement case LV-2018-0236 for monthly and weekly ammonia
nitrogen violations for May 2018. This case is closed. Enforcement case LV-2018-0299 for BOD weekly
violation, exceeding permit flow limit, and exceeding weekly ammonia nitrogen limit for June 2018. This
case is still open.
Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with data
submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) for the month of September 2019. No
discrepancies were noted.

Permit No. NC0066516
NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards - Freshwater Standards
The NC 2007-2015 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA subsequently
approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016, with some exceptions. Therefore, metal limits in draft
permits out to public notice after April 6, 2016 must be calculated to protect the new standards - as
approved.

General Information on the Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
The RPA process itself did not change as the result of the new metals standards. However, application of
the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the
numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge.
The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream) hardness
and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge.
Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The
discharge -specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA
calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal (more on that
below), but it is also possible to consider case -specific translators developed in accordance with
established methodology.
RPA Permitting Guidance/WQBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater
The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern,
based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based on applicable
standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream.
If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the
discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If
monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e. consistently below
detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit.
1. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the
following information:
• Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10 (the spreadsheet automatically calculates
the 1Q10 using the formula 1Q10 = 0.843 (s7Q10, cfs) 0.993
• Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred
• Permitted flow
• Receiving stream classification
2. In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness -dependent metal of concern and for
each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and instream
(upstream) hardness values to use in the equations.
The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for any
hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for instream
hardness values, upstream of the discharge.
If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation using a
default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)). Minimum and maximum limits on the
hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400 mg/L, respectively.
If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness -dependent metal showing reasonable
potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site -specific effluent and
upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using the new data.
Page 2 of 4
Permit No. NC0066516
The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows:
Combined Hardness (chronic)
= (Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. Effluent Hardness, mg/L) + (s7Q10, cfs *Avg. Upstream Hardness, mg/L)
(Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q10, cfs)
The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the 1Q10 flow.
3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total recoverable
metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site -specific translators, if any
have been developed using federally approved methodology.
EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved" converts the value for
dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in -stream
ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients
found in The Metals Translator: Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable
Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion (EPA 823-B-96-007, June 1996) and the
equation:
Cdiss = 1
Ctotal 1 + { [Kpo] [SS(1+1 [10 6] }
Where:
ss = in -stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1], minimum of 10 mg/L used,
and
Kpo and a = constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved
and adsorbed forms of metals. A list of constants used for each hardness -dependent
metal can also be found in the RPA program under a sheet labeled DPCs.
4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition coefficient (or
site -specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions.
In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist (ie. silver), the
dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion factor to
obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This method presumes that the metal is
dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria development for metals. For more
information on conversion factors see the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document.
5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable concentration
(permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation:
Ca = (s7Q10 + Qw) (Cwqs) — (s7Q10) (Cb)
Qw
Where: Ca = allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L)
Cwqs = NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria (µg/L or mg/L)
Cb = background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or mg/L)
Qw = permitted effluent flow (cfs, match s7Q10)
s7Q10 = summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human
health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from noncarcinogens (cfs)
* Discussions are on -going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations
Flows other than s7Q10 may be incorporated as applicable:
1Q10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity
Page 3 of 4
Permit No. NC0066516
QA = used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of water,
fish, and shellfish from carcinogens
30Q2 = used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality
6. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of concern.
Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date of the permit
application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th percentile upper
concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are compared to the Total
allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary. If the predicted max exceeds
the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations, the discharge is considered to show
reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard, and a permit limit (Total allowable
concentration) is included in the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support
Document for Water Quality -Based Toxics Control published in 1991.
7. When appropriate, permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in accordance
with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to Alexis Strauss on
40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements.
8. The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and
hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total chromium data
results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical results
based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum concentration (95th %) for
total chromium will be compared against water quality standards for chromium III and
chromium VI.
9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are
inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness -dependent metals to ensure the
accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset.
