A.(2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 2.2%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterhi monitoring using test procedures outlined
in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010,
or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised- December 2010) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
March, June, September and December. These months signify the first month of each three
month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be
obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted
final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or
ChV below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a
minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II
Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -December 2010) or subsequent
versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the
parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally,
DWR Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no
later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and
all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved
designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and
reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
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 Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,
monitoring will be required during the following month. Assessment of toxicity compliance is based
on the toxicity testing quarter, which is the three month time interval that begins on the first day of
the month in which toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues until the final day of the
third month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be
re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.

SUMMARY
The Town of Murphy currently operates a Class III WWTP with a permitted flow of 1.4 MGD. Plant
upgrades were completed in 2012 to convert an existing digester into a chlorine contact chamber,
convert an abandon basin into a digester, and to install new chlorination and dechlorination systems.
The existing WWTP consists of: bar screen, dual SBR system, post equalization basin, chlorine
disinfection, dechlorination, and two aerobic digester. The Town submitted a renewal application on
March 7, 2012. The facility did not request any changes to the permit. Additional information on the
application was requested on February 11, 2013 and received on August 12, 2013.
RECEIVING STREAM
This facility discharges to the Hiwassee River, classified C waters in the Hiwassee River watershed, HUC
060200020705. This segment of the Hiwassee River is currently rated as supporting for aquatic life.
PRE-TREATMENT
The facility has an active pretreatment program with 3 permitted Sills with total permitted flow of
0.032 MGD. The permit will continue to require the Town to continue to implement its pretreatment
program.

DMR DATA REVIEW AND VEFIFICATION OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
The permit includes limits for BOD, TSS, Fecal Coliform, TRC, pH, total residual chlorine, total cyanide,
total mercury, and effluent toxicity (Chronic, Pass/Fail, 2.2%) and requires monitoring for ammonia,
total nitrogen, total phosphorus, temperature, total silver, and priority pollutants. DMR data were
reviewed for the period of January 2008 to November 2012.
During 2009, 2010 and 2011 the facility experienced difficulties meeting total suspended solids, fecal
coliform and total residual chlorine limits. Numerous violations were issued for these parameters within
this time. ,An SOC was issued on May 12, 2013 with relaxed limits for fecal coliform and TSS. The SOC
expired on October 28, 2012. Modifications to the POTW were completed in 2010 to improve solids
handling and replace the chlorination/dechlorination system. Violations of TSS and BOD weekly average
and monthly average limits occurred after the expiration of the SOC in November and December of
2011 and again in March of 2012. The facility has consistently meet TSS and BOD limits since March
2012.
Reasonable Potential Analysis
A reasonable potential analysis was performed for cyanide, zinc, copper and silver. Silver was the only
parameter that showed reasonable potential. Silver is an action level standard therefore no limit will be
implemented. See attached RPA results spreadsheet.
Mercury Evaluation
Following the 2013 mercury permitting guidance established for the implementation of the statewide
Mercury TMDL the Division evaluated five years of mercury data to determine the need for a mercury
limit. If a limit is necessary, the limit will be the most stringent of the water quality based (WQBEL) or
the technology based (TBEL). Based on a IWC of 2.2 the WQBEL is 548 ng/L and according to the
permitting strategy the TBEL is 47 ng/L.

The maximum value reported exceeds both WQBEL and TBEL, since the TBEL limit is more stringent a
limit of 47 ng/L as an annual average will be implemented in the permit replacing the WQBEL in the
current permit. A Mercury Minimization Plan is not required for this facility since it discharges Tess than
2 MGD. Previous analyses were performed using EPA Method 245 which has a detection level of 200
ng/L. The permit will require the use of EPA Method 1631.
Priority Pollutant Analysis
The permit requires an annual pollutant scan of the effluent. The following parameters were detected
in the PPA. Chloroform and bis(2-ethylexyl)phthalate were detected in the samples. The concentrations
detected on these two parameters were relatively low and do not exceed criteria.
Aquatic Toxicity Testing
Permit requires chronic toxicity, ceriodaphnia dubia, 2.2%, the months of March, June, September and
December. The facility consistently passed the toxicity tests.
Instream Monitoring
The permit does not include requirements for instream monitoring.

Subject: Town of Murphy, NPDES Permit # NC0020940, Permit Renewal, Sludge
Management Plan
The Town of Murphy is requesting renewal of its NPDES wastewater permit. The
current permit took effect on October 1, 2007 and is due to expire August 31, 2012.
The sludge generated by the Town of Murphy is still processed in aerobic digesters
until oxidized and then it is run through our sludge press. Final disposal of sludge will be
in the Cherokee County Landfill. All analyses and requirements are performed by the
Town of Murphy to ensure local and state regulations are met.
Sincerely,
