Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0026000
Tabor City Wastewater Treatment Plant
Columbus County
Dear Mayor Baxter:
The Division of Water Quality (the Division) hereby issues this final permit for the subject facility. This permit is
issued to the Town of Tabor City 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 May 9,
1994, or as subsequently amended.
Revising BOD5, Fecal, and Ammonia (NH3 as. N) Limits. In cooperation with the EPA region 4, the Division
has added ammonia Weekly Average limits to permits across the state. Because Tabor City is a majordischarger,`
Weekly Average limits are calculated as "Monthly Average values times three." This corresponds to. new Weekly
Averages of 6.0 mg/L (summer), and 12.0 mg/L (Winter). Also note that the Division listed BOD5 and fecal limits
in your previous permit in error as Daily Maximums. These limits have been revised to Weekly Averages
consistent with municipalities statewide.
Concerning Mercury — Correction to the DRAFT Permit. Following discussions with EPA Region 4, an
effluent limit of 12 ng/L (Weekly Average) for Total Mercury has been added to this permit because effluent data
demonstrated reasonable potential to exceed the mercury water quality standard. This permit includes a two-year
compliance schedule before the mercury limit becomes effective, although monitoring commences on the permit
effective date. The compliance schedule provides time for the facility to evaluate effluent mercury concentrations as
well as time to investigate any potentially significant sources of mercury.
Effluent limits and monitoring may be deleted or modified by the Division in the future, upon written request by the
permittee, if the permittee provides new data (recommended minimum 6-month period) that show either:
a) no reasonable potential for the effluent to exceed 12 ng/L; or
b) that the facility does not discharge mercury at concentrations above potable source -water
(intake) concentrations [compare WWTP effluent mercury to WTP mercury sampled
upstream of the potable -water intake].
NOTE: If the permittee does not submit such data and does not request a mercury re-evaluation, the mercury limit
will become effective on July 1, 2007, two years from the permit effective date.
Annual Priority Pollutant Analyses --Correction to the DRAFT Permit. The permittee must provide
Priority Pollutant Analyses (PPA) annually in compliance with statewide requirement of all municipal
discharges [see permit Special Condition A. (4.)]. The PPA requirement was omitted from the DRAFT permit
in. error.

Renewal Reasonable Potential Analysis. As part of this renewal, the Division conducted Reasonable
Potential Analyses (RPA) on contaminants of concern. These include potential toxicants and metals considering
Significant Industrial Users (SIUs), previous effluent monitoring, and this facility's Pretreatment Program. This
RPA evaluates "reasonable potential" for parameters to exceed North Carolina's instream Water Quality
Standards. Having concluded its review, the Division offers the following comments and changes to your
previous permit (see table).

the newly adopted statewide standard for chlorine. This limit is 17 µg/L considering your discharge under "zero
flow" receiving -stream conditions (7Q10 and 30Q2 = 0.0 fps). Town of Tabor City must comply with this permit
limit by January 1, 2007, 18 months from the permit effective date.
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 be in the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes, and must be filed with the office of Administrative Hearings [6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,
NC 27699-6714]. Unless such a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding.
This permit is not transferable except after notifying the Division of Water Quality. The Division may require
modification, or revocation and re -issuance of this permit. Please notice that this permit does not affect your legal
obligation to obtain other permits required by the Division of Water Quality, the Division of Land Resources, the
Coastal Area Management Act, or other federal or local governments. If you have questions, or if we can be of

A. (2.) MERCURY REOPENER.
The Division may re -open this permit to require mercury load limitations, mercury minimization plans,
and/or source water characterization following completion of the Phase II Mercury TMDL for the Lumber
and Waccamaw River watersheds.
A. (3.) 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 90 %.
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, March, June, September, .and December. 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: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch 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/or 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 initial monitoring.

Staff Report. Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) conducted an annual facility inspection and Jim
Bushardt prepared a Staff Report dated May 6, 2004. The WiRO staff found the facility in good
condition and in compliance with the permit. They recommend that the NPDES Unit renew the
permit in accordance with the basin plan.
Division Records and Permittee's Renewal Application. The current permit expired on August 31,
2004, and the Division received a timely request to renew the permit from the permittee's (Standard
Form 2A) March 2004.
COMPLIANCE REVIEW
Waste Load Allocation (WLA). The Division prepared the last WLA for the receiving stream in
June 1994 and developed effluent limits and monitoring requirements considering an in -stream waste
concentration (IWC) of 90 % at 1.1 MGD, considering zero -flow stream conditions. The Division
views these limits and monitoring requirements appropriate for renewal except as outlined below (see
Permitting Approach Summary).
Verifying Existing Stream Conditions. This facility discharges under zero -flow stream conditions
to an unnamed tributary of Grissett Swamp [Stream Index No. 15- 17-1-(5)], a Class C Swamp
waterbody located within the Lumber River Basin. While not formally listed as "impaired" [not on
the Division 303(d) list], Grissett Swamp contributes as one of 11 drainages within the Lumber River
Basin with fish advisories for mercury.
Concerning Mercury. Beginning in September 2003, the Division recommended that Moore
County begin monitoring Quarterly for mercury using new EPA method 1631. The Division did not
impose a permit limit. Conditions have not changed. To date, the Division has received 12 sample
results using Method 1631 beginning in February 2004. Per agreement with EPA, quarterly
monitoring will continue without a permit limit until sufficient data have been collected to firmly
evaluate reasonable potential.
A note will be added to the cover letter stating that the permittee must continue this quarterly -
monitoring using Method 1631. A "re -opener" clause has been added to the permit to emphasize the
need to reevaluate should compliance questions arise.
DMR Instream and Effluent Flow Data Review. The Division reviewed 22 months of DMRs
(January 2003 through October 2004) noting monthly -average flows averaging approximately 0.612
MGD or about 56% of its permitted capacity. DMRs appear regular, thorough, and complete The
Division contacted the Permittee to correct the database for mercury and the Permittee complied.
Effluent Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). The permittee currently chlorinates and de -chlorinates its
effluent but is un-restricted by a Weekly Average TRC limit. In accordance with statewide policy
requiring TRC limit in all permits, and considering discharge to a "zero -flow" stream (7Q10 = 0.0
fps), a limit of 17 µg/L will be added to this permit.

Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Testing. The Division reviewed Tabor City's quarterly Whole
Effluent Toxicity records from January 1997 through September 2004 (32 quarterly tests). Tabor City
fail its WET test in March and June of 2002 prompting the Division to require metals monitoring in
the previous. The discharge failed again in June 2004, but subsequent mandatory WET tests (July,
August, and September) passed indicating that toxicity issues have been resolved. No violations have
been reported since September 2003 through November 2004.
Notices of Violation (NOVs) and Penalty Assessment. Division records for the time -period January
2001 through September 2004 show permit limit violations in May, August, and October of 2003 for
BOD-5. All proceeded to fine enforcement. In June 2002, the permittee saw an NOV for ammonia that
also proceeded to enforcement.
Toxicant Chronic and Acute Impact — Pollutants of Concern (POCs). To establish POCs, the
Division reviewed the permit application, discharge monitoring reports (Jan 2003 through Sep 2004),
pretreatment data, and the Basin Plan. The Division then used the standard Reasonable Potential Analysis
(RPA) to calculate a maximum predicted concentration for each POC. Each maximum was then compared
to the POC's freshwater Chronic Standard (Table 2) and also to its Final Acute Value (%2 FAV) for
freshwater (Table 3).
If by the above method, a POC showed reasonable potential to exceed its %2 FAV, the Division included a
permit limit as a Daily Maximum to protect the receiving stream against acute toxic affects. Similarly, if

Concerning Aluminum. The Division added aluminum (monitoring only) to the last permit to help
evaluate toxicity failures in 2002. Aluminum has no North Carolina Standard or criteria, therefore in the
absence of toxicity failures, the monitoring of this parameter will be deleted from the permit.

Pretreatment Compliance. As specified by federal regulations 40 CFR 403 and Title 15A NCAC
2H.0900 of state regulations, this NPDES permit requires the Permittee to implement a pretreatment
program Long or a Term Management Plan (LTMP). The Permittee has yet to develop an LTMP and
currently has no significant industrial users (see NPDES Application, Form 2A).
Revising Ammonia (NH3 as N) Limits. Ammonia limits have been adjusted for toxicity considering an
IWC of 90%. Per statewide policy, the Division has added ammonia Weekly Average limits to this permit.
Because Tabor City is a major municipal, Weekly Average limits are calculated as "Monthly Average
values times three." This corresponds to a new Weekly Averages of 6.0 mg/L (summer), and 12.0 mg/L
(Winter).

Fact Sheet Addendum
Tabor City- NC0026000, Lumber River Basin
Tom Belnick, 4/21/2005 [Following discussions with Marshall Hyatt (EPA, Region 4)] .
Wording for NPDES Permits subject to new mercury limits - no dilution
Language for Fact Sheet and Cover Letter.
A weekly average effluent limit of 12 ng/1 for total mercury has been added to this final permit.
This limit is based on effluent data demonstrating reasonable potential to exceed the water
quality standard. This permit includes a two-year compliance schedule before the mercury limit
becomes effective, although monitoring commences on the permit effective date. The
compliance schedule provides time for the facility to evaluate effluent mercury concentrations
as well as time to investigate any potentially significant sources of mercury.
Effluent limits and monitoring may be deleted or modified by the Division in the future, upon
written request by the permittee, if the permittee provides new data (recommended minimum
6-month period) that show either:
a) no reasonable potential for the effluent to exceed 12 ng/L; or
b) that the facility does not discharge mercury at concentrations above potable
source -water (intake) concentrations [compare WWTP effluent mercury
to WTP mercury sampled upstream of the potable -water intake].
NOTE: If the permittee does not submit such data and does not request a mercury re-
evaluation, the mercury limit will become effective in two years of the permit effective
date.

i Marshall- I was talking with Joe Corporon about the 3 NPDES permits in Lumber Basin with mercury issues and a
Phase I TMDL that we all discussed previously, and noticed they are all slightly different in some aspect. Here's our
proposed solutions for the Final permit, and let us know if EPA would concur.
NC0037508- Moore County
Permitted flow= 6.7 MGD
IWC= 41%
Issue/Solution: This facility was previously subject to "monitoring -only" with Method 1631, and NC proposed
"monitoring -only" in the draft renewal. The RPA for 5 data points (16, 12, 12, 6, 7 ng/1) obviously shows RPA>12 ng/1
when dilution is not considered. EPA recommends the WQS (12 ng/1) applied at end -of -pipe based on Phase I TMDL.
NC proposes a weekly average limit of 12 ng/1 with a 2-year compliance schedule for the Final permit, to allow permittee
to submit source water, upstream, and effluent data for re-evaluation. If upstream concentration is below 12 ng/1, NC
would redo RPA with new allowable concentration/dilution.
NC0026000-Town of Tabor City
Permitted flow= 1.1 MGD
IWC= 90%
Issue/Solution: Last permit had "monitoring -only" for mercury with Method 1631 and NC proposed "monitoring -only" in
the draft renewal. Joe conducted RPA with 12 data points (range 1-12 ng/1), with RPA> 12 ng/1. NC is proposing a weekly
average 12 ng/1 limit with a 2-year compliance schedule for the Final permit. There is no consideration for dilution since
this is zero -flow. Compliance schedule will allow time for facility to evaluate mercury sources, etc., and to resubmit
effluent data for consideration.
Tor—i1Cti/J611 CzJIt-ec/ 41%
NC0044725- Laurinburg/Maxton
Permitted flow = 2 MGD
IWC= 2.6%
Issue/Solution: NC proposed a new mercury limit of 0.45 ug/1 in the draft, which appears to be in error_ Based on further
review this facility had no detections (0/31) using the old Method 245.1, and no effluent data was analyzed by the new
Method 1631. Thus, NC proposes that we put in monthly "monitoring only" for mercury with Method 1631 in the Final
permit, and review at next permit renewal. This facility has a lot of dilution, and hopefully the Phase II TMDL will be
completed by next round.

SUBJ: Review of Draft NPDES Permit
Town of Tabor City WWTP - NPDES No. NC0026000
Dear Mr. Klimek:
2005 41.5
HIV OF WATER
D!REcroR's o QUA
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 4, is in receipt of the draft permit for
the above referenced facility. Based on our review, it is not clear if the draft permit's mercury
provisions are consistent with the assumptions and requirements of North Carolina's November 2,
1999, mercury total daily maximum load (TMDL) for the Lumber River, that was subsequently
approved by EPA on September 15, 2000. Because the information provided is inadequate to
determine whether the draft permit meets the guidelines and requirements of the Clean Water Act, I
request that all documentation regarding mercury levels at the facility and implementation of the
TMDL be provided. Pursuant to federal regulatory requirements at 40 Code of Federal
Regulations (C.F.R.) Section 123.44(d)(2) and language of Section VII.A. of the North
Carolina/EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA), this letter constitutes an interim objection to the issuance of this permit.
In accordance with the MOA and federal regulations at 40 C.F.R. Section 123.44(d)(2),
the full period of time for review of this draft permit will recommence when the requested
information is received by this Office. I look forward to receipt of the information. If you have any
questions, please call me or have yur staff contact Mr. Marshall Hyatt at 404/562-9304.
Sincerely,
James D. Giattina, Director

Section 0: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
A permit renewal inspection was.performed on April 21, 2004. The assistance provided during the inpection by
Ms. Moore is greatly appreciated. She has reconfigured the treatment train to lessen storm -related flow
surges through the plant and to maximize sedimentation detention time. The facility site review revealed that
the grounds were well mantained; but solids accumulations were found on both clarifier weirs and solids
accumulations were found within the chlorine contact basin. The solids accumulations in the chlorine contact
basin were determined to have been caused by storm -related plant flow surges and because the filters were being
bypassed. The ORC appears to be doing everything possible to maintain effluent limits compliance. However, it
seems obvious that collection system remediation is neccessary and the plant flow surges may be hampering the
filter operation. A review of influent flow values taken over the period September 2003 to February 2004
indicate significant flow variation by comparing maximum and minimum daily flow values. These results show that
the Town has an inflow/infiltration problem. The Town is encouraged to take the needed remediation steps to
abate or control collection system I/I to levels. that the treatment plant can tolerate.

Permit: NC0026000 Owner - Facility: Town of Tabor City - Tabor City WWTP
Inspection Date: 04/21/04 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
Permit
(If the present permit expires in 6 months or less). Has the pemmittee submitted a new application?
Is the facility as described in the permit?
Are there any special conditions for the permit?
Is access to the plant site restricted to the general public?
Is the inspector granted access to all areas for inspection?
Comment:Please be advised that the currrent Division policy for effluent total residual chlorine, which would mandate
dechlorination, is likely to be implemented via permit renewal.
Operations & Maintenance
Does the plant have general safety structures in place such as rails around or covers over tanks, pits, or wells?
Is the plant generally dean with acceptable housekeeping?
Comment
The daffier weirs contained solids accumulations and both units appeared to be short circuiting. The weir should be kept
clean at all times. increased maintenance actions are requested
The chlorine contact basin contained approximately 6 inches of solids accumulation and the tertiary filters were being
bypassed. The fitters should be brought on line and properly operated.
The sludge holding tank surface aerator was not functional. The aerator should be repaired or replaced as soon as
possible.

Subject Notice of Violation
Town of Tabor City
NPDES Permit No. NC0026000
Columbus County
Dear Mr. Leonard:
A permit renewal inspection was performed on April 21, 2004 at the Town's wastewater treatment facility.
An inspection summary is enclosed for your convenience. This letter is to inform you that the Town is in
violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A(a)(2) and Permit Condition C.2 for bypassing the
filters and allowing sludge to accumulate within the chlorinecontactbasin. These actions are not
considered to represent proper wastewater treatment plant operation. Sludge removal is anticipated to
create temporary effluent limit exceedance for several permitted parameters. In addition, S&B
Maintenance does not have permitting authority to remove sludge from the Town's wastewater plant
unless the sludge is land applied in accordance with the Town's land application of residuals permit. Also,
the mechanical aerator within the sludge holding tank was not functional.
Please be advised that violation of the plant operation and maintenance clause within Permit No.
NC0026000 may cause the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation in accordance
with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A(a). It is requested that you provide a written reply
addressing cause and corrective actions concerning the filter bypass/chlorine contact basin sludge
accumulation and the malfunctioning sludge aerator within 15 days of the receipt of this letter.
If you have questions conceming this letter, please contact Mr. Jim Bushardt at 910-395-3900.
Sincerely,
Rick Shiver
