Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. 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 October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended).
This permit contains two changes from the draft permit sent to you for review:
> In A. (1.) Effluent Limitations And Monitoring Requirements, footnote 3 for Total Residual
Chlorine has been modified by adding "The limit and monitoring of TRC are required only if
chlorine or chlorine derivatives are present in the wastewater."
> In A. (1.) Effluent Limitations And Monitoring Requirements, footnote 4 for composite sampling
has been modified by adding "A composite sample taken from the lagoon effluent overflow to
the wet well shall be considered to be a representative sample."
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

The TRC of 13 micrograms per liter limit. Could we have added a footnote as on the fluoride
from appendix A. (1.)? We do not use system (chlorinate, fluoridated) water to backwash or
regenerate our filters/softeners.
• Composite sampling; I would like an explanation on how to achieve a proper
composite sample when the plant has neither a continuous flow nor constant volume
of effluent. Due to the nature of our influent being dependant upon the needs of the
filters/softeners, our effluent pumps run an average of <6 hours a day, and there is
some brief nominal drainage after the pumps shut down.
• Quarterly Whole Effluent Toxicity Monitoring; in appendix A. (1.) the measuring
frequency is listed as 2/month.

PART II - BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
Facility was first permitted in 1993.
PART III - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1) Volume of wastewater to be permitted:
As per permit application:
• Outfall 001— 0.518 MGD
2) What is the current permitted flow limit?
• Outfall 001— No permit limit given
3) Actual treatment capacity of the current facility?
0.50 MGD
4) Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous Authorizations to Construct issued in the
previous two years:
A to C granted on July 25, 2006 for the construction of two new 730,000 gallon lagoons lined
with 60 ml HDPE, installed in line with two existing 730,000 gallon lagoons, in conformity with
the project plan. Completion of construction was February 28, 2007 (per engineer's
certification).
5) Please provide a description of existing or substantially constructed wastewater treatment
facilities:
This water treatment plant utilizes conventional treatment (suspended solids settling), green sand
filtration for iron and manganese removal, ion exchange for calcium and magnesium removal,
carbon filtration for TOC removal. The facility backwashes with chemically treated potable
water. Potential treatment additives are potassium permanganate and chlorine for disinfection,
household cleaners (unidentified), sodium chloride and fluoridation. Treated water is used for
backwashing.
The facility has four lined lagoons with a 750,000 gallon capacity each. Influent can be
introduced to all four lagoons. Wastewater exits from the third lagoon only. Settling time may
be considerably shorter depending upon where the influent is introduced. Typically influent
would be introduced to the first lagoon to provide adequate detention time for settling. The
influent flow is 1300 gpm as a batch feed. There are no chemical additions to promote settling.
Effluent from the effluent vault is pumped using one 80 gpm pump and a 350 gpm pump.
6) Please provide a description of proposed wastewater treatment facilities: N/A
7) Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: Chlorine, fluoride and various potential metals
such as copper, manganese, lead, and zinc.
8) Pretreatment Program (POTWs only): N/A
9) Residuals handling and utilization/disposal scheme:
Solids will be removed from each lagoon and dewatered to pass the paint test, transported by
truck to the Onslow County Landfill. Lagoons will have solids removed every three years to
prevent reduction in detention/settling time.
Compliance history for this facility within the past permit cycle is as follows:
One violation in June 2003 for a TSS daily maximum exceedance resulting in one notice of
violation in the past permit cycle. Compliance history is good.
10) Treatment plant classification: Type: Physical Settling/Settling Lagoon
Class: I
Classification in BIMS is correct.
11) SIC Code(s): 4941
PART IV - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant Funds or are any public monies
(municipals only) involved?
N/A
2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests:
See comments in recommendation section.
3. Important SOC, JOC or Compliance Schedule dates:
N/A
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation:
N/A
5. Other Special Items:
N/A
PART V - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Please note the subbasin is not 030502. The subbasin for this segment of the White Oak Basin is
030501. Please make that change in the permit. The classification is correct.
This facility utilizes green sand filters as well as ion exchange. Please include all the permit
parameters, limits and monitoring frequencies per Table 4. Appendix B Monitoring Requirements
for Ion Exchange WTPS issued January 2004 by the permitting unit (see attachment). This facility
has a backwash discharge of greater than 0.5 MGD, therefore the monitoring frequencies shall be as
follows: if limited weekly, if not limited 2/month. This facility does utilize fluoridated water for
backwashing, therefore include the fluoride limit of 1800 µg/L with weekly monitoring (permit
application identified backwash discharge of 0.518 MGD) since this is not included in the ion
exchange permitting guidance document. TRC should have a limit of 13 µg/L since the discharge is
to SA waters. TSS should have limits of 20 mg/L (per 15A NCAC 02B.0224) for High Quality
Waters.
The Wilmington Regional Office recommends reissuance of the permit in accordance with the White
Oak River Basin Plan permitting strategy provided no significant adverse public comment is
received. The Wilmington Regional Office also requests that the recommendations provided herein
are considered in the reissuance of Permit No. NC0083321.

YES_ This is a SIMPLE EXPEDITED permit renewal (administrative
renewal with no changes, or only minor changes such as TRC, NH3,
name/ownership changes). Include conventional WTPs in this group.
YES_ This is a MORE COMPLEX EXPEDITED permit renewal (includes
Special Conditions (such as EAA, Wastewater Management Plan), 303(d)
listed, toxicity testing, instream monitoring, compliance concerns, phased
limits). Basin Coordinator to make case -by -case decision.
NO lags This permit CANNOT BE EXPEDITED for one of the following reasons:
• Major Facility (municipal/industrial)
• Minor Municipals with pretreatment program
• Minor Industrials subject to Fed Effluent Guidelines (lb/day limits for BOD, TSS,
etc)
• Limits based on reasonable potential analysis (metals, GW remediation organics)
• Permitted flow > 0.5 MGD (requires full Fact Sheet)
• Permits determined by Basin Coordinator to be outside expedited process
