3. Effluent Data Summary
Not evaluated. Last discharge occurred 06/21/2012.

4. Instream Data Summary
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/l 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: Not evaluated. Last discharge occurred 06/21/2012.
Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (Y/N): No.
Name of Monitoring Coalition: NA.

5. Compliance Summary
Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): Not evaluated. Last discharge
occurred 06/21/2012.
Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results
(past 5 years): NA. Last discharge occurred 06/21/2012.
Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: See Attachment E_ E.
NC0077763_Compliance Evaluation Inspection_20200616_5p
Comments from the inspection:
• The subject permit expires on 07/ 31/ 2020, permit renewal has been submitted. The
permit status has been changed to inactive since 6/ 13/ 2012
• The facility had plugged the effluent pipe. Discharge has been diverted to the Belmont
WWTP ( NPDES permit NC0021181). Alum residuals were not distributed during the
year 2017.

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): See
NPDES Files.
Page 5 of 10

If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0204(b): See
NPDES Files.
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/l 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: NA.
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/l (summer) and 1.8 mg/l (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/l) and capped at 28 ug/l (acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values
reported below 50 ug/l are considered compliant with their permit limit.
Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: No Changes to
TRC limits are proposed.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants
Not evaluated. Last discharge occurred 06/21/2012.
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: No changes to current monitoring. Whole Effluent Toxicity
(WET) testing - testing of Ceriodaphnia dubia shall be performed as 7-day pass/fail, monitoring only, test
at 0.33% effluent concentration, during March, June, September, and December [see A. (2)].
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 (MMPs) for point source
control. Municipal facilities > 2 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury (>1 ng/l) will
receive an MMP requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, depending if mercury is a
Page 6 of 10

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/l) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL
value of 47 ng/l
Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: NA.
Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations
If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation
within this permit: NA.
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)
Municipals (if not applicable, delete and skip to Industrials)
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 for TSS.
However, this facility is a municipal WTP.
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? NA.
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.

Page 7 of 10

9. Antibacksliding Review:
Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(l) 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
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.

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. Effective December 21, 2020, NPDES regulated facilities will be required to
submit additional NPDES reports electronically. This permit contains the requirements for electronic
reporting, consistent with Federal requirements.

The draft permit includes the following significant changes from the existing permit:
1. The supplement to permit cover sheet was updated for facility description and receiving
stream information.
2. The facility classification Grade I Physical Chemical Water Pollution Control System
(WPCS) was added to the effluent page.
3. For consistency with the permitting strategy for a conventional technology water treatment
plant the following changes were made to the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements (condition A. (1.):
a. Continuous flow recording is required for flows greater than 50,000. If not present, the
facility will have until July 31, 2025 to install a continuous flow recording meter.
b. For flows greater than 0.5 MGD, weekly monitoring is required for limited parameters.
The monitoring frequency for Total Suspended Solids (TSS), pH, and Total Residual
Chlorine (TRC) is changed to weekly.
c. pH monitoring and limitation is required by the WTP strategy. Due to ambient
conditions in the receiving stream being outside the water quality standard for pH, this
parameter will not be limited. However, the stream standard for pH would still apply
with the following footnote: The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater
than 9.0 standard units unless ambient river conditions prevent compliance with this
range.
d. Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus are required for discharges greater than 0.05 MGD.
5. The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Committee (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA
subsequently approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016 with some exceptions. The NC
Division of Water Resources NPDES Permitting Unit is required to implement the new
dissolved metal standards in all permits public noticed after April 6, 2016. The new standards for
most metals include acute standards. Further, the freshwater standards for several metals are
expressed as the dissolved form of the metals, and seven metals have hardness-dependent
equations. As a result, the NPDES Permitting Unit will need site-specific effluent hardness data
and instream hardness data, upstream of the discharge, for each facility monitoring these metals
in order to calculate permit limitations. Effluent hardness and instream hardness sampling,
upstream of the discharge, has been added to this permit at a monitoring frequency of quarterly.
6. Concurrent sampling with the WET test is no longer required.
7. The chronic toxicity monitoring special condition A. (2.) was updated.
8. The electronic reporting permit special condition A. (3.) was updated.
9. The permit map was updated. Outfall 001 coordinates were adjusted to Latitude 35º 14’ 33”,
Longitude -81º 00’ 50”.

7. Describe the treatment process(es) for the raw water:
Raw water is treated with an initial dose of potassium permanganate. Alum is added.
Caustic is occaisionally added at this point as well. Water enters plant flocculators, and
the majority of dirt falls out in the sedimentation basins. Water is then chlorinated before
it is sent through dual media filters. Fluoride, Caustic, Metaphosphate, and chlorine are
dosed at appropriate levels. Water receives proper contact time in the clearwells before it
is sent out to the ditribution system.
8. Describe the wastewater and the treatment process(es) for wastewater generated by the
facility:
For active operations: Filter backwash water and basin sludge is allowed to settle in the
clarifier for a minimum of two hours. A valve is opened after proper settling time to allow
the decant to be discharged. Settled sludge is pumped out as needed (usually once a year).
Sludge is Land applied via permit WQ0019504.
Our NPDES permit is currently inactive. We send filter backwash directly to the Belmont
waste water plant. Basin water/ sludge is sent to the clarifier, allowed to settle for two
hours, and the decant is pumped to the Belmont waste water plant. Settled sludge is
pumped out as needed (usually once per year). Sludge is land applied via permit
WQ0019504.

Solids Handling Plan for the City of Belmont WTP
The wastewater from the Belmont WTP is allowed to settle in the clarifier for a minimum of two hours.
A valve is opened after proper settling time to allow the supernatant to be discharged. Settled sludge is
pumped out as needed (usually once a year).Sludge is land applied via permit WQ0019504.
The solids are settled out in the Sludge Thickener.All operators have access to the City of Belmont
Water Treatment Plant Operation& Maintenance Manual, which provides an explanation of the Sludge
Thickener and its operation in section 4.2.The description is attached to this plan as well.
Pictures of the land application process are below:

CHAPTER 4-WASTE HANDLING FACILITIES
4.2 SLUDGE THICKENER
4.2.1 Objectives and Design Basis
The objectives of the Sludge Thickener are to collect the sludge flows from the Sedimentation
Basins. to seoarate the solids and water, and to concentrate the solids for pumping to the
Centrifuge Building, or pumped out to trucks for land application.
Typically, sludge thickeners will concentrate the influent solids by two to seven times. For
example, an influent solids concentration of four percent could be thickened to a concentration
between about 8 percent and 28 percent. Solids and water separate by gravity and the solids are
allowed to accumulate in the sludge thickener. Once the thickener is full, the solids can be
pumped out to be land applied, or pumped to the Centrifuge.

1. Equipment Characteristics
The Sludge Thickener is located east of the Clearwells next to the Centrifuge Building. The
thickener is used to collect sludge flows from the Settling Basins and drain water from the
City of Belmont 1 4.2
Clearwells. A 16-inch influent line is provided for the Sludge Thickener from a sewer manhole
near the Clearwells. The influent line discharges into a center feed well in the thickener.
The thickener is supplied with a center-mounted drive platform and center column. A walkway
is provided to access the drive platform as needed. The center feed well is suspended from th
drive platform. A drive unit is mounted on the drive platform and consists of a drive motor,
primary and secondary gear reducers, a drive cage, and a turntable that drives the scraper arm
assembly. A right-angle speed reducer is attached to the drive motor as a primary reducer. The
drive motor and primary reducer use a chain drive to rotate the secondary gear reduce. Two
torque switches are supplied for the drive unit. The switches are used to activate an alarm and
to stop the drive unit if high torque conditions develop. The drive unit rotates a drive cage that
turns the scraper arms as needed. The scraper arm assembly consists of two scraper arms
equipped with a number of scrapers and squeegees. The scrapers are angled to help pull
settled sludge to the center of the tank,
The bottom of the Sludge Thickener slopes toward the center. A sludge concentrator is
positioned in the bottom of the thickener below the center column. The concentrator is
positioned in the bottom of the thickener below the center column. The concentrator has two
paddles that are driven along with the scraper arms. The paddles are mounted 180 degrees
apart and 90 degrees from either scraper arm. Settled solids are gently mixed by paddles to
concentrate the solids and to help keep them fluidized in the concentrator.
2.Principles of Operation
Sludge from the Settling basins flows by gravity to the 16-inch thickener influent line and
enters the center feed well. The center feed well separates the influent sludge flow from
the clear supernatant in the thickener. The feed well also helps direct the influent flow
downward into the thickener. Solids and water begin to separate as the sludge settles in
the thickener. Sludge eventually settles to the bottom of the thickener, while clear water is
decanted through the effluent line.

RE: Change of NPDES Permit*NC0077763 to inactive status •
Dear Mr. Sledge:
This letter is to inform you of the City of Be cnt`s desire to _ ge NPDES . yT"NC00'7 763toaninactivestatusasofJuly1, 2012. We would like to divert the waste water from the WaterTreatmentPlanttotheBelmontWasteWaterPlantfortreatment.
The Water Plant's waste water can be diverted by installing 2 plugs in the lines feeding.our
thickener. The waste water then flows through the collection system to the Belmont Waste WaterPlant. Alternatively, waste water can be pumped from the thickener directly into the collectionsystemifneeded. Pilot tests have shown no negative impacts on the Belmont Waste WaterPlant's process or effluent.
We understand that we are still responsible for the annual permit fee.

Table 3.1: Monitoring Requirements For Conventional WTPs
The monitoring requirements included below identify various pollutants of concern including conventional parameters, nutrients,
and toxicants. A brief rationale for the inclusion of these contaminants can be found in Appendix A. Other toxicants were not
included because they were either not detected or rarely detected in the effluent data surveyed. However, if a pollutant specific
problem is detected in the receiving stream, effluent, or source water then a monitoring requirement may be added for that
parameter. Likewise, if data indicate that a pollutant is not present in the facility's discharge, that parameter may be dropped from
the requirements. Limits should be added if the facility shows reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards for toxicants.
New facilities should monitor for pollutants of concerns regardless of whether or not there is a water quality standard. Monitoring
requirements can be re-evaluated during subsequent renewals.

Notes to permit writers:
1. Continuous discharges > 50,000 gpd are required to perform continuous (frequency), recording (sample type) flow
measurements. For intermittent discharges, instantaneous flow monitoring is required and the duration of the discharge must
be reported. The monitoring frequency for flow should be the same as the most frequently monitored parameter listed.
Instantaneous measurement or estimates are allowed if the permitted flow is less than 50,000 gpd.
2. Footnote for permit: Limit and monitor only if the facility adds chlorine or chlorine derivatives to water that is eventually
discharged. The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 ug/I to be in compliance with the pennit.
However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values reported by a North Carolina certified laboratory
(including field certified), even if these values fall below 50 ug/1.
3. Monitor 2/month if discharge is < 0.5 MGD and monitor weekly if discharge is >0.5 MGD,
4. If the receiving stream is impaired for turbidity a daily maximum limit should be given. See Appendix A for lirnit and
footnote.
5. Fluoride should be monitored if the Permittee backwashes with fluoridated finished water.
6. Zinc should be monitored if the Perminee adds zinc orthophosphate as a corrosion inhibitor prior to backwashing.
7. Ammonia Nitrogen should be monitored if the Permittee uses choramines (adds ammonia to chlorinated water) for secondary
disinfection prior to backwashing.
S. Facilities under 0.05 MGD should only monitor for nutrients if discharging into a NSW.
9. See Table 5.2 for WET Test Requirements and Appendix B for monitoring language.
10. Parameter should be monitored in conjunction with toxicity test.
-6-

V. IMPLEMENTATION
5.1. Monitoring Frequency
In order to be consistent with the monitoring guidance employed for other permits across the state, monitoring
frequencies will be based on the flow divisions used to define facility class in the 15A NCAC 08C .0302 regulations.
Requirements described in I5A NCAC 2B .0508(d) for water supply plants were used as guidance. Table 5 summarizes
the monitoring requirements. After sufficient data have been collected (eight to 12 data points over at least one year) the
permittee may petition for a reduction in monitoring.
Table 5.1: WTP Monitoring Requirements
If a parameter is not currently limited but requires a limitation based on potential, increase sampling frequency by one
degree. (Quarterly Monthly, Monthly2 Month)
Facility Class
Conventional Parameters (except flow)
and Toxicants
(Effluent and Instream)
Permitted Flow < 0.5 MGD
If limited - 2/Month
Not limited - Monthly
Permitted Flow 0.5 MGD
If limited - Weekly
Not limited - 2/Month
5.2. Whole Effluent Toxicity Testing
Membrane, ion exchange, and conventional WTPs should be required to conduct quarterly WET tests for monitoring
purposes. Eventually, the Division may choose to use this data to develop additional policy. The type of WET test
conducted will vary depending on receiving stream characteristics. In addition, the level of available dilution and tidal
effects will determine whether the facility should perform an acute or chronic test, while the type of water (freshwater or
saltwater) will determine which organism should be used. Table 1 summarizes WET -testing requirements. Appendix A
includes sample WET language.
Greensand filter systems will not be required to monitor whole effluent toxicity.

degree of sensitivity to the facility's effluent.

Joe,

Any of the changes do not apply unless your permit becomes active again. Since your permit is inactive I gave a
compliance data for a continuous flow meter the same as the permit expiration date. I had to give it a date. Normally we
require 18 months to install a continuous flow meter, but I knew this permit was inactive. If your permit remains
inactive, this compliance date could probably be extended for the next renewal. You will have to bring this up with the
next renewal application 6 months before July 31, 2025.

I will look at edits for the final. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks,

Derek

Mr. Denard,
We have just a few questions/comments regarding the Draft Permit for NC0077763.
 Our existing permit is currently on inactive status (Since July 1, 2012). Will this new permit require testing while
we are inactive? We understand that if, in the future, we notify the State that we are active and begin
discharging and that we would then be required to do so.
 We read the Draft to state that a new continuous flow recording meter would be required for flows greater than
50,000 by July 31, 2025 even if we are in Inactive status. Is that correct?
 On page 2 of 8, an equalization basin is listed. We believe it is referring to our equalization line between
clearwells, but will need more clarification if that is not what is intended.
 On page 2 of 8, the location address should be listed as Belmont WTP, 205 North Tenth Street…
 On the outfall map/drawing the address should be 205 North 10 th Street…

Please contact me if you have any questions or need clarifications on my questions/comments.
Sincerely,
Joe
