Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance
Permit No. NC0039594
Maiden WWTP
Catawba County
Division staff have reviewed and approved your renewal application for an NPDES discharge
permit. Accordingly, the Division is forwarding 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 May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
The following items from the DRAFT permit have been retained in this FINAL permit:
• Deletion of instream (U, D) monitoring for BOD5 and and ammonia.
• Deletion of the effluent lead limit and weekly monitoring based on reasonable potential
analysis.
• Change in effluent monitoring frequency from daily to 3/Week for BOD, TSS, NH3, TRC,
fecal, and pH, based on monitoring requirements for a Class III domestic wastewater
treatment facility per 15A NCAC 2B.0500.
• Addition of monthly effluent monitoring for silver and copper based on reasonable
potential analysis. Although reasonable potential to exceed the action levels was
determined, no limits are assigned since the NPDES Action Level Policy does not require
permit limits if toxicity testing is compliant with permit limits. Please note that higher
than normal silver and copper effluent levels reported in 1998 were responsible for the
determination of reasonable potential. The facility may request a permit modification to
reduce this monitoring, if effluent data collected over the next year shows no reasonable
potential.
• Addition of a cyanide effluent limit (22 ug/1, daily max) and weekly monitoring based on
reasonable potential analysis.
• Update the chronic toxicity test language, which now requires multiple concentration
testing following a toxicity test failure.
• Requirement for a Wastewater Management Plan to be prepared and submitted to the
Division within six months of the permit effective date. The facility currently
experiences problems with infiltration and inflow; clarifier solids removal, and sludge
storage. The plan will need to address current problems, identify corrective measures
(rehabilitation, optimization strategies, etc.), and develop an implementation schedule.
• Change the permit expiration date to 7/31/05.

Please note that the receiving stream (Clark Creek) is listed as an impaired water in North
Carolina's 303(d) list. The stream segment containing the Maiden discharge is listed as
biologically impaired due to unknown causes, while the most downstream segment is listed as
impaired due to copper, fecal coliform bacteria, and turbidity. The Division's Special
Watersheds Unit will perform a thorough assessment of watershed conditions and develop a
comprehensive restoration plan by 2003. If there is noncompliance with permitted effluent
limits and degradation of Clark Creek can be attributed to point source dischargers, then
mitigative measures may be necessary.
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 except after notice to the Division. Part
II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be followed in case of change in ownership or control of
this discharge. 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 Quality, the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area
Management Act, or any other federal or local governmental permit.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Tom Belnick at telephone
number [phone], ext. 543.

SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
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 11.0%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterlq 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 o, f 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: Environmental Sciences Branch
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 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 perm,ittee 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.

A (3). WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
No later than 180 days after the effective date of this permit, the Permittee shall submit to the
Division a wastewater management plan. The plan shall include, at a minimum, the following
elements:
• Facility Needs Assessment. Describe deficiencies and operational
difficulties in the existing collection system and treatment facility which
affect performance or permit compliance. Currently the permittee is
operating one of the dual 0.5 MGD treatment units for wastewater, and
the other 0.5 MGD unit for sludge storage. It is apparent that
wastewater flows exceed the design capacity of a single treatment unit
during wet weather. At a minimum, the assessment should address the
following items:
- Identify inflow and infiltration problems that are still impacting the
treatment system..
Discuss the problems with the clarifier skimming/sludge return
device, and other necessary equipment repairs and preventive
maintenance needs.
- Discuss management of sludge in the treatment system including
solids wasting and disposal. Identify how the dual treatment units
and sludge storage will be operated in the future, and evaluate
sludge storage capacity based on the designflow low of 1.0 MGD.
• Rehab/Optimization Strategy. Identify potential improvements to correct
the identified problem areas. Develop a strategy for optimization,
rehabilitation, and/or replacement of the collection and/or treatment
system to achieve optimum performance. Provide a schedule for
implementation of the proposed strategy.
Two copies of the Wastewater Management Plan shall be sent to the following address:

PROJECT NOTES
Facility Summary
• This is a permit renewal for a 1.0 MGD municipal POTW. There is currently a small
industrial contribution of 1.2%, with one SIU reported (a metal finisher). Similar to the
1995 permit application, no textile wastewater discharges are reported in this renewal
application. Facility had requested spec limits for 1.5/2.0 MGD discharge in 1998, but
there have been no further expansion requests.
• Facility discharges to Clark Creek>South Fork Catawba River. Most of Clark Creek is
considered impaired, and the DWQ Special Watersheds Unit will develop a comprehensive
restoration plan by 2003. The subject stream segment is C Class, Partially Supporting, and
listed in the Draft 2000 303d list as biologically impaired due to unknown causes. In the
most downstream portion of the creek (WS-IV class), fecal coliform, copper, and turbidity
are identified as causes of impairment, with TMDLs proposed for fecals and copper.
Permit History/Issues
• Facility previously elected WET limit rather than NH3 limit.
• Based on RPA for 1/98-6/00 dataset: 1) delete lead limit and monitoring; 2) maintain zinc
monitoring; 3) add copper and silver monitoring; and 4) add cyanide limit. Refer to RPA
Summary Sheet (attached).
• Recommend deleting instream monitoring for NH3 and BOD, while maintaining instream
monitoring for temp, DO, conductivity, and fecals.

NPDES PERMIT FACT SHEET Town of Maiden
Page 3 NPDES No. NC0039594
• Change effluent monitoring frequency for BOD, TSS, NH3, TRC, fecal, and pH from daily to
3/Week, based on monitoring frequencies specified for a Class III domestic WWTP in 15A
NCAC 2B.0500.
• Facility was built in approx. 1978. Based on DMR data (see below), facility is marginally
meeting BOD and TSS limits. Facility has reported that I&I and clarifiers need
rehab/repairs. DWQ has provided technical assistance in past regarding these issues.
Facility is currently operating only one of the 0.5 MGD treatment units, and using the
clarifier and aerobic digester in the vacant unit for sludge storage. For the 12-month period
7/99-6/00, average monthly flows have exceeded 80% of the design capacity of the single
0.5 MGD treatment unit for 6 of 12 months. A Wastewater Management Plan will be
required as a Special Condition during this permit round, which will require the permittee
to evaluate I&I, plant optimization, and sludge management.
DMR Data.
• Effluent Chemical Data. Facility is marginally meeting secondary limits for BOD/TSS.
Monthly average values for past year (6/00-7/99) have ranged as follows: flow (.29-.58
MGD); BOD (15-43 mg/1); NH3 (10-24 mg NH3-N/1); TSS (20-52 mg/1); Fecal (28-146
orgs/100 ml); TN (10-25 mg/1); TP (0.6-2.5 mg/1). The max values per month for TRC range
from 660-1380 ug/1. Monthly average exceedances were reported for BOD (2) and TSS (1).
• Effluent Toxicity Data. The facility has a good toxicity compliance record, passing 18 of 19
quarterly chronic tox tests between 1996-2000.
• Instream Data:
• Fecal coliforms. Both upstream/downstream stations exceed fecal coliform WQS of
200 orgs/ 100 ml; downstream monthly avg. concentrations are generally higher
than upstream values. Recommendation: retain instream fecal monitoring.
• Ammonia (NH3). Neither upstream/downstream stations exceed the state WQC for
NH3; in contrast to fecals, the max concentrations are generally at the upstream
station. Recommendation: delete instream ammonia monitoring.
Enforcement Assessments (from 1/94-5/00):
• Monthly avg. limits violations (BOD,TSS) in Jan. 2000 ($3,082 assessment in May 2000).
There are no SOC actions pending.
WLA Data.
• Speculative limits request was prepared in 1998 for 1.5/2 MGD. Last WLA conducted 1994
for 1 MGD. Facility interacts with upstream dischargers Newton and Delta Mills; Delta
outfall is located approx. 200-feet upstream. The 1994 WLA predicts a DO sag of 5.17 mg/1
approx 5-miles below Delta Mills/Maiden.
Pretreatment Data.
• The town has a DWQ-approved modified pretreatment program with one SIU (Getrag Gears -
metal finisher). They are only required to do a Short term monitoring plan (STMP)
consisting of 4 effluent samples/5 yr. However, they voluntarily conduct influent/effluent
sampling on a quarterly basis. All data are reported on DMRs.
Mooresville Regional Office Data.
• The MRO submitted a staff report dated 2/18/00. MRO reports the town is currently using
half the plant capacity due to low influent flow. The unused unit is temporarily being used
for sludge holding, and the MRO recommends that future sludge storage capacity be
adequately planned for. Dechlorination facilities were previously constructed but removed
due to malfunctions. MRO reports that the receiving stream is discolored by upstream
dischargers.
• Region provided technical assistance for I&I program in 1996. A 1998 CEI reports that I&I
may still be a problem.

10. Receiving Stream or Affected Surface Waters: Clark Creek
a. Classification: C
b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Catawba 030835
c. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent
downstream uses: The receiving stream is = 20-25 feet
wide and variable in depth. Upstream dischargers are
Duck Head Apparel and City of Newton. The receiving
stream is discolored by the discharge from Duck Head
Apparel.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1. a. Volume of Wastewater: 1.0 MGD (Design Capacity)
b. What is the current permitted capacity: 1.0 MGD
c. Actual treatment capacity of current facility (current
design capacity): 1.0 MGD
d. Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous
ATCs issued in the previous two years: N/A
e. Description of existing or substantially constructed
WWT facilities: The existing WWT facilities consist of
influent pumps followed by mechanical screening, grit
removal, instrumented flow measurement, dual 0.5 MGD
pure oxygen treatment units (each containing diffused
aeration, clarification, and aerobic digestion). The
facility also has sludge drying beds, effluent
disinfection (chlorine gas), and stand-by power.
f. Description of proposed WWT facilities: N/A
g•
Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: This facility
failed toxicity testing in October 1998. Since then
the facility has passed.
h. Pretreatment Program (POTWs only): Approved (only one
permitted SIU).
2. Residual handling and utilization/disposal scheme:
a. If residuals are being land applied, please specify DWQ
permit No.:WQ0004563
b. Other disposal/utilization scheme: Residuals are
removed by the Town of Maiden and transported to the

4. SIC Code(s): 4952
Wastewater Code(s): 01
5. MTU Code(s): 14005
PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant
Funds or are any public monies involved (municipals only)?
Public monies were used in the construction of this
facility.
2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity)
requests: None at this time.
3. Important SOC/JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: N/A
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: N/A
5. Other Special Items: The dechlorination facilities that
were mentioned in the previous staff report were constructed but
removed since they did not function as anticipated. The existing
sludge drying beds are only being used to dewater the alum -sludge
produced at the water treatment plant. Also, It should be noted
that one of the two 0.5 MGD treatment units is being used as a
sludge holding tank.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Town of Maiden has requested renewal of the subject
NPDES Permit. The Town is currently using half of the plant
capacity for sludge disposal. As flow increases it is likely
that the 0.5 MGD treatment unit now used for sludge storage will
be required to treat wastewater. The permit should require the
town to submit plans and construct adequate sludge storage
facilities for this eventuality.

A facility with a design flow of 1 mgd would likely be sent a permit
application next fiscal year. Our first year is primarily dedicated to
facilities 3.5 mgd and greater with a few non -compliant facilities mixed in
(Maiden is not one). Eventually, everyone over 200k gpd will be covered by
an individual permit. KC
