Permit No. NC0029980
A. (2) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 2.1%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterlu 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
February, May, August, and November. 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 defmition 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:
Environmental Sciences Section
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
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 Branch 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. 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.

Permit No. NC0029980
A. (3) VARIANCE FOR 24-HOUR STAFFING REQUIREMENT
The permittee's request for continuation of the variance to Rule 15A NCAC 2H.0124(4), which requires
24-hour staffing at wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) by certified operators, has been reviewed and
approved by the Division with the following conditions:
1. The WWTP shall be staffed 24 hours, 7 days per week whenever the WWTP is receiving flow for
treatment and there must be at least one certified operator on each shift. On -site staffing by
certified WWTP operators is not required during periods of complete influent flow diversion to the
3.2 MGD holding basin.
2. A certified WWTP operator shall be on call when the WWTP is not staffed. This operator shall report
to the WWTP in the event the facility needs to receive flow, if an alarm condition exists, or if unusual
conditions are observed at the facility during the periods of influent flow diversion.
3. When the WWTP is not staffed during periods of flow diversion, the WWTP shall be checked once
every 8 hours by the plant security personnel, and documentation shall be made of each visit.
4. Maintain and operate the computer system that monitors the influent screw lift pump and the
aeration basin blower.
5. This variance shall remain in effect until the permit expiration date. If the permit is administratively
continued, the variance shall remain in effect until the permit is renewed. A request for renewal of
this variance, if necessary, should be submitted with the permit renewal application.
6. This variance may be rescinded at the discretion of the Director.
