Subject: Pretreatment Review of Industrial User Pretreatment Permit Renewal
Program: Town of Franklin
WWTP:Town of Franklin WWTP-NPDES#:NC0021547
Macon County
Dear Mr. Deal:
The Municipal Unit of the Division of Water Resources has reviewed the Industrial User Pretreatment Permit
(IUP)renewal submitted by the Town of Franklin for the following Significant Industrial User(SIU).The IUP
was received by the Division on May 20,2021.
SIU# SIU NAME
0002 Macon County Landfill
The review indicates that the IUP is adequate and meets the minimum requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0905 and
.0916 and 40 CFR 403.8(f)(1)(iii).The allocation table,maintained in the Division's database,has been updated
accordingly.
Regardless of this approval action today, within 180 days of the effective date of any reissued NPDES permit(or
any subsequent NPDES permit modification)the Permittee would be required to submit to the Division a written
technical evaluation of the need to revise local limits (i.e., an updated IWS, or documentation of why one is not
needed).This action may include revising,updating or adding to the list of Significant Industrial Users(SIU's).
Federal and State pretreatment regulations require the local delegated pretreatment program to effectively control
and document the discharge of wastewater from Significant/Categorical Industrial Users to the POTW.It is the
POTW's responsibility to ensure that these objectives are consistently met.
If you have any questions or comments,please contact Michael Montebello at(919)707-3624 [email:
[e-mail]]. Thank you for your continued support of the Pretreatment Program.

4. Certified Laboratory Analysis
Pollutant analysis shall be performed by a North Carolina Division of Water
Resources Certified Laboratory that is certified in the analysis of the pollutant in
wastewater.
5. Total Toxic Organics (TTO) Definition
"TTO", or Total Toxic Organics, is the sum of the concentrations of the toxic
organic compounds listed in 40 CFR 401.15 and as analyzed by EPA Methods 624,
625, and 608 that are found in the permittee's process discharge at a concentration
greater than 0.01 mg/l.
6. Total Toxic Organics (TTO) Certification
In lieu of monitoring for TTO, the permittee may, upon submitting to the Control
Authority one sample showing TTO compliance and a toxic organic management
plan, make the following certification every six months:
"Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for
managing compliance with the permit limitation for total toxic organics(TTO),
I certify that, to the best of my knowledge, no dumping of concentrated toxic
organics into the wastewaters has occurred since filing of the last monitoring
report. I further certify that this facility is implementing the toxic organic
management plan submitted to the Control Authority."
At a minimum,the certification statements are due by July 31 of each year covering
the January through June six month period,and December 15 of each year covering
the July through December six month reporting period. If the certification is not
submitted for both periods within 5 days of the respective due dates, the Control
Authority shall collect TTO samples before December 31 and the permittee may be
billed for the cost of the TTO sampling and/or analysis.

D. RATIONALE FOR LIMITATIONS:
As listed on the IUP Limits Page(s), PART I, Section F of the IUP.
RATIONALE#1:
Review of IU Monitoring Data,with no Over Allocation situation:
The following pollutants were assigned numerical limits in this IUP based on
a review of monitoring data for the permittee to determine what ranges of
concentrations are currently being discharged. To account for sample
variability a factor was applied to the monitoring data to determine the permit
limit. Permit limits assigned by the Local IUP Control Authority can not
results in an Over Allocation situation for any pollutants.
BOO, TSS, Cadmium, Chromium. Copper, Cyanide. Lead,
Nickel, Silver, Zinc, Oil& Grease

IUP Synopsis
RATIONALE#2a:
Categorical Industrial Limits,with no Over Allocation situation:
Check here if Combined Wastestream Formula (CWF) or other categorical
limits calculations were used. If used, Please attach calculations: (see CWF
Spreadsheet, Appendix 6-F)
Were used (attach calculations)
Were not used I X
The following pollutants were assigned numerical limits in this IUP based on
the categorical regulations. These limits do not result in over allocations.

RATIONALE#3a:
Over Allocation Prevention,with IU pollutant reduction:
The following pollutants were assigned numerical limits in this IUP based on
allocating the Maximum Allowable Industrial Loading (MAIL) determined
with the Headworks Analysis (HWA) among all Industrial Users. The total
loading of each pollutant from all permitted discharges does not exceed the
MAIL. These limits do not result on over allocations.
N/A
RATIONALE#3b:
Interim Limits for IU pollutant reduction:
The following pollutants were assigned interim numerical limits in this IUP
to allow time for the industry to come compliance with final limits that will
not in over allocations.

4.) Other Rationale for Limitations:
The following rationale was used for developing IUP Limits.
Parameter Rationale
pH Sewer Use Ordinance
Tem erature Sewer Use Ordinance
RATIONALE#5a:
Non-Categorical Parameters where No Limit needed or assigned in an IUP:
The following pollutants were not assigned numerical limits in this IUP
because the loadings for these pollutants from this IU were less than 5% of
the MAHL. The loading of these pollutants from this IU is considered
insignificant at this time.
