Dear Dina Sprinkle:
The facility has a 500,000 gallon digester and a 80,000 gallon sludge holding basin for sludge
management. Sludge is aerobically digested to meet vector and pathogen reduction. Once the digester is
full and decanting is complete, testing begins for class B Sludge. Sludge is land applied under permit
WQ0013729. This is normally a six-month process. The sludge holding basin is for extra storage. The
wastewater facility has a secondary plan with Atlantic Dewatering. In the event the facility can not use
the primary plan The Town of Pembroke will contract with Atlantic Dewatering to dewater and send to
their contracting site for composting.
The facility has had no changes since the last permit.
Please contact me with further questions at 910-521-9758.
Sincerely,
McDuffie Cummings

POTWs meeting one or more of the following criteria must provide the results of whole effluent toxicity tests for acute or chronic toxicity for each of the
facility's discharge points: 1) POTWs with a design flow rate greater than or equal to 1.0 mgd; 2) POTWs with a pretreatment program (or those that are
required to have one under 40 CFR Part 403); or 3) POTWs required by the permitting authority to submit data for these parameters.
• At a minimum, these results must include quarterly testing for a 12-month period within the past 1 year using multiple species (minimum of two
species), or the results from four tests performed at least annually in the four and one-half years prior to the application, provided the results
show no appreciable toxicity, and testing for acute and/or chronic toxicity, depending on the range of receiving water dilution. Do not include
information on combined sewer overflows in this section. All information reported must be based on data collected through analysis conducted
using 40 CFR Part 136 methods. In addition, this data must comply with QA/QC requirements of 40 CFR Part 136 and other appropriate QA/QC
requirements for standard methods for analytes not addressed by 40 CFR Part 136.
• In addition, submit the results of any other whole effluent toxicity tests from the past four and one-half years. If a whole effluent toxicity test
conducted during the past four and one-half years revealed toxicity, provide any information on the cause of the toxicity or any results of a
toxicity reduction evaluation, if one was conducted.
• If you have already submitted any of the information requested in Part E, you need not submit it again. Rather, provide the information
requested in question E.4 for previously submitted information. If EPA methods were not used, report the reasons for using alternate methods.
If test summaries are available that contain all of the information requested below, they may be submitted in place of Part E.
If no biomonitoring data is required, do not complete Part E. Refer to the Application Overview for directions on which other sections of the form to

submitted with your NPDES renewal application. After review of your January 30, 2009 renewal application
there are several documents missing. Your application can not be process until you submit the missing
documents.
Missing Documents:
o Three Priority Pollutant Analyses (See Form D on application for list of required analysis,
Method 1631 required for Mercury)
❑ Four toxicity .test using an organism other than Ceriodaphia
You will need to provide triplicate copies of the missing documents so we can update all three
copies of your renewal application. In addition to better clarify your treatment process please provide a
sort narrative to describe the physical location of your influent and effluent meters, of your influent and
effluent composite sampler.
If you have any questions you can contact Ron Berry by phone at [phone] or by email at

SUBJECT: Advance Notice of Renewal Application Requirements
Permit NC0027103
Pembroke WWTP
Dear Permittee:
Your NPDES permit for a municipally owned/operated WWTP expires on July 31, 2009. This notice is being
sent to explain the requirements for your permit renewal application.
You are receiving this advance notice because your facility has a permitted flow at or above 1
MGD, or the facility receives industrial [pretreatment] wastewater. If either of these criteria no
longer applies, contact the NPDES Unit before submitting a renewal application.
Federal (40.CFR 122) and state (15A.NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal
applications be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. Your renewal application is
due to the Division postmarked no later than February 1, 2009. Failure to apply for renewal by the
appropriate deadline may result in a civil penalty assessment or other enforcement activity at the discretion
of the Director.
The U.S. EPA revised and expanded the application requirements for municipal permits, effective August 1;
2001. EPA form 2A is attached to this Notice, and must be used for your permit renewal application. The
new application requirements mandate. additional effluent testing:
1. Conduct three Priority Pollutant Analyses (PPAs) and submit results with your renewal
application. Collect samples for. the PPAs in conjunction with sampling for your current
quarterly toxicity test.. The new PPA requirements differ from previous versions. Each PPA
must include:
➢ Analyses for all total recoverable metals listed in Part D of form 2A. This includes metals
that are not normally monitored through your NPDES permit.
➢ Analyses for total phenolic compounds and hardness:
• Analyses for all of the volatile organic compounds listed in Part D.
➢ Analyses for all of the acid -extractable compounds listed in Part D.
> Analyses for all base -neutral compounds listed in Part D.
> Analyses for Total Mercury must be performed using EPA Method 1631.
2. Conduct four toxicity tests for an organism other than Ceriodaphnia and submit results with
your renewal application. The tests should be conducted quarterly, with samples collected on the
same day as your current toxicity test. Call the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at [phone] for
guidance in conducting the additional tests.

The pollutant and toxicity analyses described above must accompany your permit renewal
application, or any major permit modification request. The Division cannot draft your permit without the
additional data. Any data submitted cannot be over 4 1/z years old, and must account for seasonal
variation (samples cannot be collected during the same season each year if collected over multiple years).
PLEASE NOTE: If your existing permit contains a requirement for annual PPAs, additional PPAs
are not required [provided you have conducted at least 3 scans prior to submitting your application].
If any wastewater discharge will occur after the current permit expires, this NPDES permit must be
renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate Federal and North Carolina law.
Unpermitted discharges of wastewater could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
Use the checklist below to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you
must submit with the permit renewal application. If all wastewater discharge has ceased at this facility and
you wish to rescind this permit, please contact me. My telephone number, fax number and e-mail address
are listed at the bottom of the previous page.
Sincerely,
