Permit No. NC0026646
Pilot Mountain WWTP
Surry County
Dear Mr. Knox:
In accordance with the application for discharge permit received, the Division is forwarding
herewith the subject NPDES 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).
The final permit authorizes the Town of Pilot Mountain to discharge wastewater from the Pilot
Mountain Wastewater Treatment Plant to the Ararat River, a class C water in the Yadkin -Pee Dee
River Basin. The permit includes discharge limitations/or monitoring for flow, BODS, ammonia
nitrogen, total suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, total residual chlorine, fecal conform, lead,
copper, zinc, and chronic toxicity.
Please note that the receiving stream, the Ararat River 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 ambient monitoring 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.
The following procedure has been implemented by DWQ: Total residual chlorine (TRC)
compliance level changed to 50 ug/1. Effective March 1, 2008, the Division received EPA approval
to allow a 50 ug/1 TRC compliance level. This change is due to analytical difficulties with TRC
measurements. Facilities will still be required to report actual results on their monthly discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submittals, but for compliance purposes, all TRC values below 50 ug/1 will
be treated as zero. A footnote regarding this change has been added to the effluent limitations page
in the permit.

The following modifications in December 16th draft permit remain in the final permit:
• These treatment components have been added on the supplement to permit cover sheet:
manual bar screen and dechlorination.
• Please note that there have been minor language changes and the addition of a new
paragraph regarding data submittal in special conditions A. (3) and (4) Chronic Toxicity
Permit Limits. (The new paragraph is located second from the end of the condition.)
• Monthly monitoring for total cadmium, cyanide, and silver has been deleted from the permit
based on the results of a reasonable potential analysis conducted on submitted monitoring
data. The results indicated that there was no reasonable potential to exceed water quality
standards in the receiving stream.
• The effluent limit for total lead has been removed from the permit based on the results of a
reasonable potential analysis conducted on submitted monitoring data. The results
indicated that there was no reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards instream.
It is recommended that total lead be monitored quarterly in conjunction with the whole
effluent toxicity test.
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 Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714.
Unless such a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding.
Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. The Division may require modification
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 Quality or permits required by
the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other Federal or Local
governmental permits may be required.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Jacquelyn Nowell at

The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 1%.
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. If reporting pass/fail results using the parameter code TGP3B,
DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is sent to the below address. If reporting Chronic Value results using the parameter

This facility is a major municipal treatment plant operating in Surry County that serves 1300
people. Town has separate sewer collection system. Facility has a permitted flow of 1.5 MGD
discharging into Ararat River, however is currently discharging at a reduced flow of 0.5 MGD.
According to the application, the Town of Pilot Mountain no longer has a pretreatment
program.
The Ararat River is on the 2006 303 d list for impaired streams due to a standard violation for
turbidity as the main cause of impairment. The draft 2008 303d list has the Ararat River
impaired for turbidity also. The Pilot Mountain WWTP is located in the impaired segment of
the Ararat River.
With the exception of some metals monitoring requirements, all existing limits for the Pilot
Mountain WWTP will be renewed in this permit evaluation. Metals are evaluated in the
Reasonable Potential Analysis section.

January, April, July, and October
The facility has been consistently passing its WET tests since January 2005 with one exception.
There was an invalid test in January 2009, the following test in April 2009 was a Pass. The tox

Version: December 15, 2009
test is run at 3%. It is recommended that the toxicity test requirement be renewed at both test
limits of 1% at 0.5 MGD and 3% at 1.5 MGD.
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY:
Facility appears to be well operated. Compliance inspections conducted by Regional Office
staff within the past two years rated the plant as compliant. There were few permit violations
since January 2004. There were NOVs issued in June 2006 and April 2009 for violations of
fecal coliform and total suspended solids, respectively.
INSTREAM MONITORING:
Instream monitoring is required for temperature, dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, and
conductivity. The facility is a member of the Yadkin -Pee Dee Monitoring Coalition, and all
their instream monitoring is conditionally waived for the duration of their membership in the
Coalition.
REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS
The following parameters are monitored through the permit: Cd, Cn, Pb, Cu, Zn, Ag,
Reasonable potential analyses were conducted for all the parameters monitored in the permit.
Data was reviewed from August 2006 through July 2009. (see attached).
Cadmium, Cyanide, and Silver- all analyzed data was below detection. The
maximum predicted concentrations were below the chronic and acute allowable
concentrations. There was no reasonable potential to exceed water quality or action
level standards instream. It is recommended that monthly monitoring for
cadmium, cyanide and silver be dropped from the permit.
Lead —nearly all analyzed data was below detection. The maximum predicted
concentration was below the chronic and acute allowable concentrations. There is
no reasonable potential to exceed the water quality standard. It is reconunended
that the limit for lead be dropped from the permit and quarterly monitoring
only remain in the permit.
Copper and Zinc- both are NC action level standards. The maximum predicted
concentrations were below the chronic allowable concentrations but higher than the
acute allowable concentrations. Because the facility has consistently passed its
toxicity tests with no problems, limits on the action level constituents, copper and
zinc are not recommended. It is recommended that the continuation of monthly
monitoring in the permit will remain.
Mercury was reviewed although only two data points (7.81 ng/1 and 5.09 ng/l)
were reported in the priority pollutant analyses. With limited data, there was no
reasonable potential shown to exceed the chronic allowable concentration. No
limits or monitoring for mercury will be added to the permit.
Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and Di-n-octyl phthalate were detected in a 2007 PPA
however 2 subsequent PPAs in 2008 did not detect these substances. No
monitoring is recommended since the prior hits may have been laboratory
contaminants.
Page 2
Version: December 15, 2009
PROPOSED CHANGES: -
• Monthly monitoring for cadmium, cyanide and silver will be dropped based on no
reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards.
• The daily maximum limit for lead will be dropped due to no reasonable potential to exceed
the allowable concentration. However will recommend that quarterly monitoring for lead
remain in the permit.
PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE:
Draft Permit to Public Notice: December 16, 2009
Permit Scheduled to Issue: February 1, 2010 (est.)
