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. This permit modification includes only the addition of interim limits for a design flow of 3.0 MGD. After Union County receives an Authorization to Operate from the Division's Construction, Grants, and Loans Section (and submits any certification that may be required), the County may operate at a design flow not to exceed 3.0 MGD. This permit (as with the permit issued June 26, 2006) also includes provisions for an expansion phase to 6.0 MGD. If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit modification 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, Mail Service Center 6714, 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 of Water Quality. The Division of Water Quality 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.

Permit NC0085359 SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS SPECIAL CONDITIONS A. (4.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT 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 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 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 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 NC0085359 A. (5.) TOTAL PHOSPHORUS (TP) MONITORING The Permittee shall calculate a 12-month rolling average mass loading as the sum of monthly loadings, according to the following equations: (1) Monthly Average (pounds/day) = TP x Qw x 8.34 Where: TP = the arithmetic average of total phosphorus concentrations (mg/L) obtained via composite samples (either daily, weekly, or monthly average values) collected during the month Qw = the average daily waste flow (MGD) for the month 8.34= conversion factor, from (mg/L x MGD) to pounds The 12-month rolling average mass loading is defined as the sum of the monthly average loadings for the previous 12 months inclusive of the reporting month: 12 (2) 12-Month Mass Loading (pounds/day)= >TPma =12 (inclusive of reporting month) Where: • TPma is defined as the total phosphorus monthly average mass loading (calculated above) . The monthly average and 12-month average mass loadings shall be reported on the attached worksheet [see next page] and submitted with the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) for Twelve Mile Creek WWTP. The first worksheet is due with the DMR 12 months from the effective date of the TP limit (referenced in A. (1)). In the period between the effective date and the requirement to submit the attached worksheet, the TP monthly average mass loadings should be reported on the appropriate monthly DMR. The Permittee shall report the TP concentration for each sample on the appropriate DMR. Reporting of and compliance with the TP limit shall be done on a monthly basis. Permit NC0085359 A. (6.) EFFLUENT POLLUTANT SCAN The permittee shall perform an annual Effluent Pollutant Scan for all parameters listed in the table below (in accordance with 40 CFR Part 136). The annual effluent pollutant scan samples shall represent seasonal (summer, winter, fall, spring) variations over the 5-year permit cycle. Unless otherwise indicated, metals shall be analyzed as "total recoverable." Additionally, the method detection level and the minimum level shall be the most sensitive as provided by the appropriate analytical procedure.

The purpose of this meeting is to have an informal discussion regarding several items (refer to below). Feedback and guidance from your department would be greatly appreciated. Items for discussion include: 1. Clarification of recently issued Cu and Zn limits. Why do the Cu and Zn limits change with increasing plant flow rate from 2.5 mgd to 6 mgd?. 12-Mile Creek's 7Q10 flow is 0 cfs. As a result, it was our understanding that metal limits should not change with increasing plant flow. Vgal l►,ri101 0- 271tk,UT1o1J 2. Plan for interim rerating of the 12-Mile Creek WWTP from 2.5 mgd to approximately 3 mgd following completion of the Phase 1 Improvements currently under construction. Improvements are tentatively scheduled for completion by March 1, 2007. 3. Update on actions undertaken by Union County to bring 12-Mile Creek WWTP into compliance with phosphorus limit. 4. Request for waiver of 24/7 operator staffing until annual average flow exceeds 5 mgd. SCADA improvements are currently being implemented which will notify Union County of any alarm conditions and allow ORC to monitor facility remotely. 140 5. Permit modification to increase fecal coliform daily maximum limit from 400 CFU/100 ml to 1,000 CFU/100 ml. 1 of 2 10/19/2006 4:04 PM [Fwd: NC DWQ and Union County Meeting] For your information, Mark Tye of Union County and Mike Parker of the Mooresville Regional Office have recently met to discuss these items as well.

High demand within the Twelve Mile Creek's service area has necessitated this request. The plant is currently undergoing a construction project which will expand the plant's capacity from 2.5 to 6.0 mgd. The overall project is ahead of schedule and is slated to be substantially complete by late summer/early fall 2007. An environmental assessment for this project has already been performed and approved, and an NPDES Permit for a design flow of 6.0 mgd has also been issued. The construction documents stipulate interim substantial completion dates. Phase 1 improvements are scheduled to be on line by March 1, 2007. Improvements include: • Expanded Influent Pump Station (firm capacity of 15.0 mgd) • One (1) New MLSS Distribution Box • Two (2) New 85-Foot Secondary Clarifiers • New RAS and Was Pumping Stations • One (1) New 1 MG Aerobic Digester • New Standby Power Facilities With the substantial completion of the Phase 1 improvements, the plant will be capable of treating an additional 0.5 mgd of flow. A process and hydraulic rerating evaluation will be prepared by Hazen and Sawyer confirming the plants ability to treat a design flow of 3.0 mgd with the substantial completion of the Phase 1 improvements. This evaluation will be submitted for regulatory review by December 1, 2006. For the interim rerating to 3.0 mgd; it is anticipated that the County will be required to meet the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements as stipulated in their NPDES Permit for a design flow of 6.0 mgd. Selected parameters and their associated limits are summarized on the following page: New York, NY • Armonk, NY • Upper Saddle River, NJ • Raleigh, NC • Charlotte.
