Permit NC0039446
SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
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 10%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the
"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent
versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February
1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July and
October. Effluent sampling for this testing 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 -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that
does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment,"
collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase
II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) 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, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent
to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
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.

Permit NC0039446
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement 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.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and 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.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Dave Goodrich, NPDES Unit
Division of Water Quality
FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program d
DATE: June 26, 2006
SUBJECT: Proposed Permit Renewal for Linville Resorts, Inc, NPDES Permit No. NC0039446,
Avery County
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject
application for impacts to fish and wildlife. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of
the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), North Carolina
General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.), and the North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC
10I.0102.
Linville Resorts has submitted a request for a permit renewal for its WWTP to discharge treated
wastewater into the Linville River. Waters in Avery County support significant sport trout fisheries.
Aquatic nongame concerns for species in the Linville River are the Eastern creekshell (Villosa delumbis)
NCSR, Brook Floater (Alasmidonta varicosa) NCE, FSC; and Santee Chub (Cyprinella zanema) NCSR
occur below the gorge in the Linville River. Excessive amounts of chlorine are deadly to mussels.
Minimal amounts of chlorine can be harmful to juvenile aquatic species.
We appreciate the efforts of the Division of Water Quality to improve water quality. The implementation
of effluent limit reductions and monitoring requirements to renewal permits and disallowing new or
expanding wastewater discharges should go along way in protecting this important resource. Biologists
are concerned about chlorinated effluents. Chlorine is acutely toxic to aquatic organisms and forms
secondary compounds that are also detrimental to aquatic life. De -chlorination chemicals are also very
suspect. Additionally, freshwater mussels are among the most sensitive aquatic organisms tested for
impacts from ammonia, and ammonia may be a significant limiting factor for unionids (Augspurger et al.
2003). Recent research by Augspurger et al. (2003) found that ammonia concentrations which may be
protective of freshwater mussels range from 0.3 to 1.0 mg/L total ammonia as N at pH 8.
We recommend that the following conditions be incorporated into the permit to reduce impacts to fish and
wildlife resources and in particular to juvenile fish and rare species.

Linville Resorts NPDES Renewal -Page 2 - June 26, 2006
1. If practicable, chlorine and any de -chlorination systems should be replaced by ultraviolet light or
ozone systems. Utilization of these techniques would provide an additional benefit of removing a
hazardous material from the workplace. Emergency use of chlorine should not be allowed.
2. We recommend a reevaluation of any ammonia limits based on the research discussed above and
readjusting the limits. Please contact Tom Augspurger with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at
[phone] for additional information.
3. Stand-by power is recommended if not already provided.
4. If a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) and sewer collection system becomes available,
connection should occur to the POTW without undue delay.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input during the planning stages for this project. If we can be of
further assistance, please contact our office at [phone].

Permit Notes
Linville Resorts is requesting a renewal of the existing permit. An upgrade from 0.100
MGD to 0.150 MGD was completed in 2002. A reasonable potential analysis indicated a
potential to exceed the water quality standard for cyanide, mercury, copper and zinc.
Copper and zinc are action level parameters, and the facility has not had any problems
with toxicity; therefore, a limit was not added to the permit for these two parameters. -A-
-�ai1 um and. weekly average -limit was added to the permit for cyanide,-and-the--
n • quency _vas-eh-anged-to monthly:- A daily maximum limit was added to the
permit for mercury; however, several of the data points used in the RPA were prior to the
facility using the 1631 method, and the most recent data points were below 12 ng/L, so
the monitoring remained at quarterly. All other existing limits remained the same.
The facility has not had any compliance problems in the past four years.

Dear Mr. Weaver:
The enclosed packet of information is to request NPDES permit renewal for Linville
Resorts Incorporated wastewater treatment facility, permit number NC0039446.
Our last permit was written to allow for an expansion to .150MGD. That work was
completed approximately two years ago. The expansion included the addition of an
identical third treatment train and increased lift station and EQ pumping capabilities. The
plant has been inspected many times by DENR staff, most recently in May of this year.
We have not experienced any violations in the past ten years.
Thank you for your help if we may answer any questions or provide additional
information please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Bentley Parlier
Corporate Vice President
