FACT SHEET FOR EXPEDITED PERMIT RENEWALS
This form must be completed by Permit Writers for all expedited permits which do not require
full Fact Sheets. Expedited permits are generally simple 100% domestics (e.g., schools, mobile
home parks, etc) that can be administratively renewed with minor changes, but can include
facilities with more complex issues (Special Conditions, 303(d) listed water, toxicity testing,
instream monitoring, compliance concerns).

Section 1. Facility Overview:
The City of Shelby operates a conventional WTP designed for a potable flowrate of 12
MGD. The facility generates backflow with an intermittent discharge 7 days a week for
4-6 hours. The maximum, monthly average discharge between May 2018 and April 2021
was approximately 0.193 MGD.
Per the previous fact sheet: Discharge comprises of intermittent filter media backwash,
seasonal flocculation settling basins with a solids purge, and stormwater, through settling
lagoons for solids removal. The facility serves the Shelby community and discharges to
an unnamed tributary that flows 0.5 mile to First Broad River, a class C water in the
Broad River Basin. River water is transferred and stored in a series of reservoirs and
copper sulfate is added as a biocide. From the reservoir raw water is transferred to the
potable water treatment plant where alum and caustic are added and thoroughly mixed to
initiate flocculation. A carbon slurry is injected into the treated water prior to its
distribution to settling basins. From the settling basins the water is distributed to the
media filters where chlorination is applied and then continues to its final potable water
treatment with fluorination, additional chlorination, polyphosphate corrosion inhibitor,
and distribution. Potable water is stored in a backwash water tank and utilized to
backwash the media filters averaging one filter backwash per day. The backwash
Page 1 of 9

wastewater is dechlorinated as it flows to the wastewater settling lagoons. The settling
basins solids are purged 4 times a year and stormwater also collects in the settling
lagoons. The decanted wastewater from the settling lagoons passes through the effluent
flow meter before it is discharged to its outfall. To remove collected solids, the lagoons
are taken offline and the solids are removed and allowed to dry. The solids are then
excavated for landfill disposal.
Per a meeting with MRO on 6/30/2021, the WTP lagoon is partially built on top of a
landfill. Groundwater monitoring wells were added to the permit in the past because there
were concerns about hydraulic load with the lagoon on top of the landfill. The landfill is
an inactive hazardous site. MRO prefers the monitoring well permit condition be
removed, but that language be added in the permit cover letter stating the wells should
not be abandoned without contacting DWM Inactive Hazardous Waste Sites branch. The
site ID for the location is NCD986176451.

• They do not discharge to HQW or ORW waters, therefore they are eligible
• They have limits for copper, therefore they are not eligible
Page 2 of 9

• They have a groundwater monitoring special condition, therefore they are not
eligible
• Conclusion: They are not eligible for the NCG59
Section 5. Changes from previous permit to draft:
• Updated eDMR footnote in A(1) and language in A(4)

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:
Page 6 of 9

• 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.
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) x (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.
Page 7 of 9

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 =
Ctotal
1
1 + { [Kpo] [SSUU+a)] [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
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:
1 Q 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity
Page 8 of 9

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.

For
City of Shelby Water Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit # NC0027197
The City of Shelby operates a 12.0 MGD Water Treatment Facility located on 801 W. Grover Street. The
Water Treatment Facility has an NPDES Permit with the State of North Carolina to discharge water to an
unnamed tributary of the First Broad River. The water discharged to the stream is generated by the filter
washing and solids settling basins in the water treatment process. Some storm water from the water
plant site discharges to these lagoons
The system consists of a 30-inch line conveying the backwash water and sediment to two (2) — 1.5 MG
gravity lagoons located to the west of the of the water plant. These lagoons are each equipped with 6-
inch decant lines and valves. Solids are introduced to a single basin and allowed to settle. Once solids
are settled, the operators then control the decanting while meeting the requirements set forth in the
NPDES Permit for discharge.
The other basin is completely taken out of service and allowed to dry. Once dried the residuals are
removed with heavy equipment and trucked to an approved landfill for disposal.
Back-up Options
In the event of inclement weather or problems involving the disposal of water treatment residuals, the City
of Shelby would contract with a local firm for dewatering and disposal.

Based on the current guidance to minimize the spread of COVID-19, the Department of Environmental Quality has
adjusted operations to protect the health and safety of the staff and public. Many employees are working remotely
or are on staggered shifts. To accommodate these staffing changes, all DEQ office locations are limiting public
access to appointments only. Please check with the appropriate staff before visiting our offices, as we may be able
to handle your requests by phone or email. We appreciate your patience as we continue to serve the public during
this challenging time.
