Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0086011
Neilson WTP
Class PC-1
Forsyth County
The Division of Water Resources (the Division) hereby issues the attached NPDES permit for the
subject facility. 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.
We have made the following updates to the draft permit mailed,to you:
> Monitoring requirements for total hardness have been added as the facility is also
monitoring hardness -dependent metals.
We have also made the following updates to your previous permit with no subsequent changes from
the draft permit mailed to you:
> The limit for flow has been removed.
> A monthly average and daily maximum turbidity limit of 50 NTU has been set, along with
weekly turbidity monitoring, as the receiving stream is impaired for turbidity.
➢ The monitoring requirements for calcium, iron, magnesium, and manganese have been
removed as water quality standards do not exist for these permits.
➢ The monitoring requirement for ammonia nitrogen has been removed as the facility does not
use chloramines.
> The monitoring frequencies for copper, zinc, and fluoride have been reduced from twice a
week to quarterly to align with quarterly toxicity monitoring.
> Section A. (3) has been added to require electronic submission of effluent data. Federal
regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs), effective
December 21, 2016.
➢ Regulatory citations have been added to the permit.
➢ An updated outfall map has been included.
The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Committee (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA subsequently
approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016 with some exceptions. The NC Division of Water
Resources NPDES Permitting Unit is required to implement the new dissolved metal standards in
all permits public noticed after April 6, 2016.
The new standards for most metals include acute standards. Further, the freshwater standards for
several metals are expressed as the dissolved form of the metals, and seven metals have hardness -
dependent equations. As a result, the NPDES Permitting Unit will need site -specific effluent
hardness data and instream hardness data, upstream of the discharge, for each facility monitoring

these metals in order to calculate permit limitations. Effluent hardness sampling has been added to
this permit at a monitoring frequency of quarterly. Upstream hardness sampling has been waived
due to the zero flow conditions of the receiving stream. See Section A (2.) Effluent Limitations and
Monitoring Requirements.
Please note that Muddy Creek is listed as an impaired waterbody on the North Carolina 303(d)
Impaired Waters List. Addressing impaired waters is a high priority with the Division, and instream
data will continue to be evaluated. If there is noncompliance with permitted effluent limits and
stream impairment can be attributed to your facility, then mitigative measures may be required
No later than December 21, 2016, federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge
monitoring reports (DMRs) and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such
submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on
December 21, 2015.
The requirement to begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has been added to your final
NPDES permit. [See A. (3)] For information on eDMR, registering for eDMR and obtaining an
eDMR user account, please visit the following web page:
http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr.
For more information on EPA's final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule, please visit the following
web site:

electronic-reporting-rule.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing, upon written request submitted within
thirty (30) days after receiving this letter. Your request must take the form of a written petition
conforming to Chapter 150B of North Carolina General Statutes, and you must file it with the Office
of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless
such a demand is made, this permit shall remain final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may
require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal
requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Resources or
any other Federal, State, or Local governmental permits that may be required.

A. (3) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS
[NCGS 143-215.1 (b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs) and program reports and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to
receive such submittals, then permittees must submit monitoring data and reports
electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The final NPDES Electronic
Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21, 2015.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within
Part II of this permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting Requirements [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)1
Effective December 21, 2016, the permittee shall report discharge monitoring data
electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR)
internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each
month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted
facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet.
Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media
Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all
discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to
complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original
and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DEQ / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due
to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the
households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic
reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted
on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director.
Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See "How to
Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month
following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the
month following the commencement of discharge.
Page 6 of 8

Permit NC0086011
Starting on December 21, 2020, the permittee must electronically report the following
compliance monitoring data and reports, when applicable:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
• Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and
• Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports.
The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to
Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below).
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1) (9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient
at the time of each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website
resources to identify the initial recipient for the electronic submission.
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means
the entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is
the designated entity for receiving electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting
tool for each type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to
access and use the appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well.
Information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule is found at:
http: / / www2. epa. gov/compliance / final-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-
system-npde s-electronic-reporting-rule.
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements"
section above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To
obtain an electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic
reporting waiver request to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting
waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty
(60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin
submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not
exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports
shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is
granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic
reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting
waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the
period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective.
Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are
found on the following web page:
http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
4. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. Ill.) (b) and Supersedes

Permit NC0086011
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person
described in Part II, Section B. (11.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that
person as described in Part II, Section B. (11.)(b). A person, and not a position, must be
delegated signatory authority for eDMR reporting purposes.
For eDMR submissions, the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an
eDMR user account and login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more
information on North Carolina's eDMR system, registering for eDMR and obtaining an
eDMR user account, please visit the following web page:

shall make the following certification [40 CFR 122.22]. NO OTHER STATEMENTS OF
CERTIFICATION WILL BE ACCEPTED:
"I certify, under penalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared
under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that
qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my
inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly
responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my
knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant
penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fines and
imprisonment for knowing violations."
5. Records Retention 'Supplements Section D. (6.)1
The permittee shall retain records of all Discharge Monitoring Reports, including eDMR

Facility Summary
This facility is a conventional water treatment plant with discharge of filter backwash and sludge
wastewaters with a design potable flowrate of 48.0 MGD and currently no discharge for the last permit
cycle. Because the waste flow is intermittent, instantaneous flow monitoring is permitted.
Monthly average FLOW (MGD) — Last 36 months Aug2013-Ju12016:
None
Toxicity —This permit requires Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) testing using Ceriodaphnia dubia
to be performed as 7-day pass/fail test at 90% effluent concentration, during January, April, July, and
October[TGE3E]. Testing requirements for the past 4 %Z years have been waived as the facility has not
discharged.
Renewal Summary —
• A turbidity limit of 50 NTU was added as the receiving stream is impaired and a corresponding
turbidity monitioring frequency of weekly was added
• Iron, calcium, magnesium, and manganese monitoring requirements were removed as there are no
water quality standards for these parameters
• Removed monitoring requirements for ammonia nitrogen as the facility does not currently use
chloramines
• Upstream and effluent monitoring requirements for hardness data were added as there is hardness
dependent metals sampling for copper and zinc
Fact Sheet
Renewal 2016 -- NPDES Pennit NC0086011
Page 1

• Copper, zinc, and fluoride monitoring frequencies were reduced from twice per week to quarterly
(in tandem with WET testing); this is in accordance with the October 2009 WTP Strategy
• eDMR requirements were added
• Regulatory citations were added
Stream — Discharge from WTP for Outfall 001 is into an unnamed tributary to Muddy Creek [Stream
Segment 12-94-(0.5)]. This segment is currently listed as impaired in the 2016 North Carolina 303(d)
List.
RPA — No reasonable potential analyses could be conducted for toxics of concern as there were no data for
the previous 4 %z years. As such, no limits were set, however, continued monitoring is required when the
facility resumes discharging.

Subject: questions on WTPs and general permit
Bill,
The General Permit NCG590000 was signed and became effective on August 1, 2014!
NC0086762 Swann WTP — Mailed on July 2013. I don't anticipate any issues with this one qualifying for the General
Permit. It has never failed a WET test.
Joe Corporon is doing this permit renewal so you will have to contact him and ask if it can be issued as a General Permit
or not.
I have been assigned to do the permit renewals for the two below.
NC0086011 Neilson WTP — Mailed November 2013. We currently do not discharge from this permit but have
improvements planned and will start in the next 2-3 years.
A conventional WTP must demonstrate no potential for aquatic toxicity so unless they have performed three years of
toxicity testing it will have to remain under an individual permit.
NC0079821 Thomas WTP — Mailed November 2013. If you'll recall we discussed this one because it has had some issues
passing WET. This is the one that I suspected the polymer was the culprit. We have been able to discontinue the use of
the polymer without consequence on our effluent and since doing so we have passed all our WET tests, so there is hope
that this plant is moving in the right direction.
This facility has failed too many times; it will be maintained as an individual permit. Hopefully, the discontinued use of
the polymer will make a difference and it can be issued as a General Permit with the renewal after this one.

R.W. Neilson Water Treatment Plant
Solids Handling Plan
The Neilson Water Treatment Plant is a 48 MGD water treatment facility. Solids are
generated by manual sludge removal from sedimentation basins, backwashing filters, and
filter -to -waste after filter backwashes are completed. Solids produced from filter backwashes
and filter -to -waste is routed to a waste pump station and is then pumped to the head of the
water treatment process. Solids removed from the sedimentation basins are routed directly to
one of three residual lagoons.
Permits and Classifications:
1. The discharge from the residuals lagoons is authorized by NPDES Permit NC0086011.
The classification for the discharge is Grade 1 Physical/Chemical.
Operation:
1. The system consists of a waste station with (3) Fairbanks Morse single stage pumps rated
at 6.48 MGD each, (2) Fairbanks Morse basin sludge pumps rated at 1.0 MGD each, (2)
lagoon pumps rated at 0.65 MGD each and (3) residuals lagoons (3 lagoons at -2.0 MG).
Each residuals lagoon consists of an oval earthen lagoon with clay bottom.
2. Routine inspections of equipment will be conducted by Rodney Darr, Sr. Utility Plant
Supervisor, to ensure proper operation of equipment. Any equipment not functioning
properly will be reported through the water division's asset management program,
MAXIMO, to the appropriate support group for repair/replacement.
3. Backwash and filter -to -waste water from the plant process flows to the waste station and
then is pumped by the waste station pumps to raw water reservoir #2 at the head of the
plant treatment process.
4. All sedimentation basin and hopper blow downs are pumped by the basin sludge pumps
directly to one of three residuals lagoons.
5. The solids stream enters on one end of each lagoon and the decant is pumped from the
opposite end by the lagoon pumps to the waste station where it is returned to the head of
the treatment process.
6. Residuals lagoons are rotated with one cleaned and ready for use, one in service and one
drying at all times.
7. Residuals are removed from the lagoons and hauled to an application site which consists
of -31 acres on Cooper Road (about 1.0 mile from the Neilson WTP) by a private
contractor.

8. Once the sludge has dried, it is spread on the application site and a grass cover is planted
to stabilize the area.
Monitoring and Reporting Requirements:
1. Residuals generated by each source -generating facility must be analyzed to demonstrate
that they are non -hazardous. Sampling will be conducted by Rodney Darr, Sr. Water
Treatment Plant Supervisor, once per hauling event as described below.
2. An analysis is required for each residuals land application event.
3. Analyses made according to monitoring and reporting requirements must be certified for
the required parameter(s).

6. Data to verify pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction of the residuals is
maintained on file for five years. The required data is specific to the stabilization process
utilized, and is also sufficient to demonstrate clear compliance with the Class A pathogen
requirements and restrictions noted in 15A NCAC 02T .1106 (a) and (b) and vector
attraction reduction requirements in 15A NCAC 02T .1107 (a).
