Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0033111
Fairfield Harbor Subdivision WWTP
Craven County
Dear Mr. Daniel:
The Division has reviewed and approved your permit renewal application, originally received September 14,
1998. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9,
1994, or as subsequently amended. The NPDES Unit staff considered existing guidelines and recently adopted rules
related to the Neuse River Nutrient-Sensitive Waters Management Strategy prior to incorporating the following revisions into
this permit:
Additions: for a Class III facility(phased limits of 0.6 MGD and 1.0 MGD)
• Total nitrogen (TN) allocation of 11,263 lbs/year Annual Mass Loading; monitoring
frequencies revised from Quarterly to Weekly.
• Previous Weekly and 2/Monthly monitoring frequencies have been revised to 3/Week for the
following parameters:BOD5,TSR, NH3,DO,Fecal Coliform,TRC,and pH.
• WET Test. Upon expansion to 1.0 MGD,an Acute Whole Effluent Toxicity(WET) Test, using
at an effluent concentration of 90%, will be required Quarterly during March, June,
September, and December. Please note that this test requires a composite sample (incorrectly
described in the DRAFT permit as a grab sample).
Please be aware that this facility discharges es to waters within the Neuse River Basin. All streams within this
basin have been designated nutrient sensitive waters(NSW) as a result of environmental problems including algal blooms
in the estuary. The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission recently adopted rules establishing the
Neuse River Basin Nutrient-Sensitive Waters Management Strategy to reduce phosphorus and nitrogen inputs. The related
point source rule (15A NCAC 2B.0234) intends to reduce by 30%, total nitrogen (TN) discharges by the year 2003.
Because of this, revised nutrient limits have been imposed on Neuse River discharges with permitted flows greater
than or equal to 0.5 MGD.

Please be advised that all facilities within the Neuse River Basin, particularly those with permitted flows greater
than 0.5 MGD, may be subject to more stringent nitrogen limits in the next permitting cycle. The Division
recommends that Carolina Water Service evaluate the cost to upgrade Fairfield Harbor's nutrient-removal facilities
and consider alternative disposal methods,particularly wastewater reuse and spray irrigation.
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 a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding.
Please notice that this permit is not transferable except after notifying the Division of Water Quality. The
Division of Water Quality may require modification or revocation and re-issuance of this permit. This permit does
not affect the permittee's legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water
Quality, the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act, or any other federal or local
governments.
If you have questions concerning this permit,please contact Joe Corporon at(919) 733-5083,extension 597.
Yours respectfully,

SUPPLIMENT AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS TO
EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
A. (3.) TOTAL NITROGEN MONITORING
The Permittee shall calculate the annual mass loading of total nitrogen as the sum of monthly loadings,
according to the following equations:
(a) Monthly Mass Loading (lbs/month) = TN x Q x 8.34
where:
TN = the average total nitrogen concentration (mg/L)of the grab samples
collected during the month
Q = the total wastewater flow discharged during the month(MG/month)
8.34 = conversion factor,from(mg/L x MG)to pounds
(b) Annual Mass Loading (lbs/year) = E (Monthly Mass Loadings) for the calendar
year
The Permittee shall report the total nitrogen concentration for each sample and the monthly mass
loading in the appropriate self-monitoring report and the annual mass loading of total nitrogen in
the December self-monitoring report for the year.
A. (4.) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TOTAL NITROGEN
(a) The Neuse Nutrient Management Strategy rule for point sources (1)provides that annual mass limits
for total nitrogen shall be included in the permits for all dischargers with permitted flows (as
defined in the Strategy) greater than or equal to 0.5 MGD, and that those nitrogen limits (including
the limits in this permit), shall become effective with the calendar year beginning on January 1,
2003.
(b) The Neuse rule also provides that members of a group compliance association shall not be subject to
individual annual mass limits for total nitrogen. At the time of permit issuance, the Permittee had
expressed interest in joining such an association. Accordingly,
(1) the total nitrogen limit in Condition A(1) of this permit is deemed waived provided that the
following conditions are met:
(i) a formal agreement between the association and Environmental Management
Commission, as outlined in 15A NCAC 2B. 0234, is established and is in
effect; and
(ii) the Permittee is a party to said agreement; and
(iii) the association and the Permittee substantially conform with the agreement.
(2) So long as the total nitrogen limit in Condition A(1) is waived, the group nitrogen
allocation established pursuant to the agreement referenced above and any subsequent
amendments is hereby incorporated as an enforceable part of this permit.

Footnote:
(1) Neuse River Basin—Nutrient-Sensitive Waters Management Strategy:
Wastewater Discharge Requirements(15A NCAC 2B. 0234).
(c) If the Division determines, at any time during the term of this permit, that these conditions are not
being met, it shall notify the Permittee in writing of this determination and of its basis. The
consequence of such a determination shall be that the Permittee's annual mass limit for total
nitrogen and its effective date shall be reinstated immediately. The Division shall accept and
consider written responses received from the Permittee and/or the association within thirty (30) days
of the original notice before making a final decision and will provide that decision in writing.
(d) The Permittee shall notify the Division in writing within five (5) working days if, at any time during
the term of this permit, the Permittee elects not to join the association, or if it withdraws or
otherwise loses its membership in the association. Notification shall be sent to:

NC DENR/Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
A. (5.) INSTREAM MONITORING REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The Permittee shall record instream-monitoring data on a Division-approved form and summarize these
data in an annual report due by January 1st of the year immediately following the summer sampling
period. Send Yearly Instream Monitoring Reports to:
Attention: Modeling Unit
NC DENR/Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
A. (6.) PHASED CONSTRUCTION CONDITIONS
Influent volume shall at no time exceed the design capacity of the existing facility. Because this facility
is permitted to expand in phases, the Permittee shall submit an Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA)
plus any and all up-grade plans and specifications for the next phase before influent flow reaches 80 %
of the currently permitted design capacity (0.600 MGD), i.e. at a flow approaching 0.480 MGD. The
EAA, plans, and specifications shall be submitted to:

The Permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the North
Carolina Procedure Document entitled Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A
Single Effluent Concentration (Revised-July, 1992 or subsequent versions). Analyses shall be performed
as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24-hour static test. This facility's effluent concentration at
which there may be no time-significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the
procedure document). The Permittee shall collect self-monitoring samples immediately effluent to all
combined treatment processes with the intent to provide samples representative of the facility's
discharge. The tests will be performed during the months of March,June, September, and December.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code
TGE6C. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
NCDENR/Division of Water Quality
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later
than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be
complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in
association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the
effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the
waste stream.
No Flow -- Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity
monitoring is required, the Permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic
toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the
month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report
shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Test Failures / Follow-up Testing -- Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet
specified limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is
passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified
above. Should the Permittee fail to monitor during an assigned month, then monthly monitoring will
begin immediately and continue until a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement
will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
WARNING: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control-organism survival or appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will
require immediate follow-up testing, to be completed no later than the last day of the month following
the month of the initial monitoring. Should any test data, from either these monitoring requirements or
tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, indicate potential impacts to the
receiving stream, this permit may be re-opened and modified to include alternate monitoring
requirements or limits.

BACKGROUND
Carolina Water Systems (CWS) Fairfield Harbor Subdivision is a Class III, 100% domestic
wastewater treatment system discharging into the Neuse River Basin below Falls Lake Dam,
below New Bern, and is NOT a member of the Lower Neuse River Basin Association.
Division records date from 1977 when discharge began on Upper Broad Creek. Discharge
historically included two outfalls, but the permit was revised to a single outfall during the last
permit cycle when 002 was re-designated 001 discharging into the Neuse River main stream. The
last permit became effective July 1, 1994 and expired March 30, 1999. Average flow for 1999
was 0.295 MGD, about 49% of permitted capacity. The Division received the appropriate
documentation to renew (Short Form A) on September 14, 1998, but placed this permit on hold
pending finalization of the nutrient-management strategy for the Neuse River.
Verification of Existing Conditions. The Division has verified that the Neuse River, at Outfall
001 within sub-basin 03-04-10, is a Class SB-Sw-NSW stream, and is not 303 (d) listed
specifically as an impaired stream (May 2000). It is noteworthy however, that the entire Neuse
River Basin is classified NSW (nutrient-sensitive waters), and the EPA has approved a Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) limiting nitrogen and phosphorus input to the basin. Fairfield
Harbor is one of four major dischargers within Subbasin 03-04-10: the City of New Bern (4.7
MGD) located about 7 miles upstream; USMC Cheery Point (3.5 MGD) located about 8 miles
down stream; and Havelock WWTP (1.9 MGD) also located downstream about 11 miles.

Instream Monitoring and DMR Data Review. The Division reviewed two years of DMR
data. There have been no compliance problems with the current permit. The facility discharges
under tidal conditions and instream monitoring is currently not required until expansion to 1.0
MGD. Total residual chlorine (TRC) in system effluent (range 200 to 1,600 µg/L) averaged
about 800 µg/L per month during 1999.
Waste Load Allocation (WLA). The Division prepared the last WLA in March 1993 and
developed effluent limits and monitoring considering effluent under estuarine tidal conditions.
The Division judges these limits and monitoring requirements to be appropriate for this renewal
with the exception of the additions and deletions listed below (see PERMITTING APPROACH -
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES).
CORRESPONDENCE
Staff Report— Raleigh Regional Office. The Washington Regional Office (WaRO) prepared a
Staff Report dated October 26, 1998. WaRO recommended that this permit be reissued.
PERMITTING APPROACH — SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
Considering the need to implement existing Division guidelines for flows above 0.5 MGD and
1.0 MGD, and recently adopted rules related to the Neuse River Nutrient-Sensitive Waters
Management Strategy, the following items have been incorporated into this permit.
Deletions: NONE
Additions: for Class III (>0.5MGD)
• Total nitrogen (TN) allocation of 11,263 lbs/year Annual Mass
Loading; monitoring frequencies revised from quarterly to Weekly.
• Previous Weekly and 2/Monthly monitoring revised to 3/Week.
• Added Quarterly Acute WET test and appropriate text to 1.0
MGD phase (Fathead minnow @ 90% effluent concentration).

Hi Joe.
I have reviewed this draft permit and everything looks ok. I did have
one question as to why for toxicity we gave them a grab sample instead
of collecting composite samples. We generally prefer composite samples
unless there is some reason for a grab sample to be collected, or the
region feels like a grab sample would be representative.

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

Permit NC00331 l 1
A. (4.) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TOTAL NITROGEN
(a) The Neuse Nutrient Management Strategy rule for point sources (1)provides that annual mass limits
for total nitrogen shall be included in the permits for all dischargers with permitted flows (as
defined in the Strategy) greater than or equal to 0.5 MGD, and that those nitrogen limits (including
the limits in this permit), shall become effective with the calendar year beginning on January 1,
2003.
(b) The Neuse rule also provides that members of a group compliance association shall not be subject to
individual annual mass limits for total nitrogen. At the time of permit issuance, the Permittee had
expressed interest in joining such an association. Accordingly,
(1) the total nitrogen limit in Condition A(1) of this permit is deemed waived provided that the
following conditions are met:
(i) a formal agreement between the association and Environmental Management
Commission, as outlined in 15A NCAC 2B.0234, is established and is in
effect; and
(ii) the Permittee is a party to said agreement; and
(iii) the association and the Permittee substantially conform with the agreement.
(2) So long as the total nitrogen limit in Condition A(1) is waived, the group nitrogen
allocation established pursuant to the agreement referenced above and any subsequent
amendments is hereby incorporated as an enforceable part of this permit.
(c) If the Division determines, at any time during the term of this permit, that these conditions are not
being met, it shall notify the Permittee in writing of this determination and of its basis. The
consequence of such a determination shall be that the Permittee's annual mass limit for total
nitrogen and its effective date shall be reinstated immediately. The Division shall accept and
consider written responses received from the Permittee and/or the association within thirty (30)days
of the original notice before making a final decision and will provide that decision in writing.
(d) The Permittee shall notify the Division in writing within five (5) working days if, at any time during
the term of this permit, the Permittee elects not to join the association, or if it withdraws or
otherwise loses its membership in the association. Notification shall be sent to:

Joe's Permit Notes
07Jun00
Carolina Water Service (CWS) --Fairfield Harbor WWTP, Permit NC0033111
To Require or Not to Require an EAA.WaRO staff report noted that Fairfield Harbor
WWTP had yet to explore spray irrigation as a discharge option, noting the proximity of
a local golf course. To my knowledge, no EAA has been done for this facility. In a
discussion with Jackie, I questioned whether the Division should request the permittee to
prepare an EAA under Condition A (6)PHASED CONSTRUCTION CONDITIONS. We
concluded that,because this was already a phased permit with a max flow of 1.0 MGD,
an EAA should not become a condition of an existing permit, but should be mentioned in
the cover letter that "it might be prudent to consider options now and upon any new
expansion."
Should We Add a Aquatic Tox Test. Jackie raised the question whether this permit
renewal should include an acute toxicity tests upon expansion to 1.0 MGD. She
suggested I call the Aquatic Toxicology Lab for confirmation. The lab clarified that "any
waste stream at 1.0 MGD or greater requires a WET test(even 100% domestic)
regardless of the waste stream complexity.
Answer: YES -- Added "Acute Tox @ 90% effluent concentration" and appropriate text
to the 1.0 MGD permit page.

Dear Mr. Underwood:
NPDES Permit No. NC0033111 requires Carolina Water Service Inc.-Northeast Craven
Utility to monitor the physical-chemical parameter conductivity in the receiving
stream at one-foot intervals during the period of June 1st through September
30th. Certification rules 15A NCAC 2H .0800 require that conductivity and other
analytical procedures be performed in a certified laboratory unless an exemption
has been granted by the Division of Water Quality, Central Laboratory
Certification Section.
In order to provide Carolina Water Service with the option of using approved
field instruments in lieu of collecting discreet samples using a kimmerer bottle
or similar device and submitting the samples to a certified laboratory for
conductivity analysis, an exemption from certification for the parameter,
conductivity, has been granted to Carolina Water Service.
Therefore, Carolina Water Service may use field instruments to collect the
stratified conductivity measurements, provided that EPA Method 120.1 (Storet No.
00095) is followed. A copy of the method is enclosed.
If we can answer any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to
contact Barry Adams, Alton Hodge or me.
Sincerely,
GE
