Subject: NPDES Permit Modification
Union County - Twelve Mile Creek
NPDES Permit No. NC0085359
Union County
Dear Ms. Putnam:
Attached to this letter is the NPDES permit modification for Union County - Twelve Mile
Creek wastewater treatment plant, NPDES Permit No. NC0085359. 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.
If you have any questions regarding the NPDES permit modification, please contact Susan
Wilson at (919) 733 - 5083, extension 510.
Sincerely,

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.

Good Morning Bob,
lk about
I have confirmed with Mark Tye of Union County of his availability to meet with you
and your staff next Thursday (October 26th) at 10:00 AM.
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.
We look forward to seeing you all next Thursday.
Regards,
Jim

Re: Union County, NC
Twelve Mile Creek WWTP
Request for Interim Rerating
Dear Ms. Wilson:

On behalf of Union County Public Works Department, Hazen and Sawyer is requesting a
revised NPDES Effluent Limitations page for the County's Twelve Mile Creek WWTP
(Permit No. NC0085359). 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:
