Dear Mr. Sigmon:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Division of Water Quality (Division) personnel have reviewed and approved your application for
renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit.
It 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.
The only change to your permit from the draft permit sent to you August 4, 2010 is that ammonia limits
have been modified on your 7.5 MGD emissions limitation page. This reflects the Division's permit
strategy for ammonia toxicity. In addition, the quarterly monitoring for zinc and copper proposed in the
draft are retained in this final permit.
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 within thirty (30) days
after receiving this letter. Your request must take 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, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such demand is
made, this permit remains final and binding.
Please note that the receiving stream is listed as an impaired waterbody on the 2010 North Carolina
303(d) Impaired Waters List. Addressing impaired waters is a high priority with the Division, and
instream data will continue to be evaluated. If there is noncompliance with the permitted effluent limits
and stream impairment can be attributed to your facility, then mitigative measures may be required.

A (3) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY at 5.0 MGD)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality
to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 56%.
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. , s •
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 Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section 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 chemicaVphysical 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 Section 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.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT
Forms submitted.
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.

Summary
This permit renewal is for a municipal POTW with phased 5.0 MGD / 7.5 MGD flow limits. The
permit was last reissued on 3/16/2006 and then modified three times. On August 31, 2007, the
weekly average arsenic limit was deleted, due to lack of reasonable potential. On June 24,
2008, the effluent monitoring requirement for cyanide was removed due to its absence in the
effluent, and the facility's having passed all of its toxicity tests. And finally, on January 8, 2009,
monitoring for copper was deleted.
The facility was constructed in the mid-1970's with a design capacity of 5 MGD, and phased
limits for expansion to 7.5 MGD were prepared in 1991. At present, the City does not have a
schedule to implement the higher flow. The facility discharges to Clark Creek, which flows to
the South Fork Catawba River. Clark Creek is listed in the 2010 303(d) list as biologically
impaired.
This WWTP has an active pretreatment program. The application indicates that there are three
non -categorical SIU's and also three CIU's. The most significant are Catawba Sox Inc. (32,415
GPD), Catawba Valley Finishing (26,288 GPD), and Moretz Mills Inc. (57,494 GPD).

Page 2 NPDES No. NC0036196
Flows
Flow data from January 2007 to the present shows that flows are increasing. In 2007, the
average was 1.58 MGD; in 2008 it was 1.81 MGD; from 1/1/2009 to the present it is 2.05 MGD.
Compliance Summary
DMRs were reviewed for the period January 2007 through April 2010. During the review period,
five violations were significant enough to proceed to the issuance of an NOV. These include
four weekly -average cyanide violations in February and March of 2007, and one fecal
exceedance in March 2008.
A compliance evaluation inspection conducted by the Division's Mooresville Regional Office on
January 21, 2010 recommended reissuance of the permit. It was noted that there had been no
changes to the treatment plant and that the daily average flow was expected to remain
constant.
Reasonable Potential Analysis
A reasonable potential analysis was done for the parameters in the following table. Data was
taken from monthly DMRs from January 2007 to the present, and from the four PPAs done
during this permit cycle:

Action Level parameter — add quarterly monitoring
There was one hit (out of four samples) on the PPA for bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate. This was a
34.0 pug/L sample from June 2007. The City believes that this hit was due to contamination from
a plastic sample container, and a note from the laboratory indicates that this is a possibility. For
this reason, and due to the subsequent receipt of an additional recent sample result without a
hit, no monitoring will be required.
Changes from Previous Permit
• Added quarterly monitoring for zinc, according to the Division's policy for action level
parameters which show reasonable potential.
• Added quarterly copper monitoring, in accordance with Division policy
• On the discharge limitations page for the future expanded plant (7.5 MGD), ammonia
limits were changed to conform with the Division's policy

Re: June 7-8, 2007 Effluent EPA 625 Sample Results Clarification
Mr. Sigmon:
The reported pollutant in this sample, Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, is a relatively common wastewater
contaminant, but it is also a common laboratory contaminant. We take all possible steps in our lab to ensure that
such contamination during sample handling is minimized. The extracted method blank associated with this
sample is not showing this contaminant. Yet at times phthalate contamination is sporadic and can show almost
randomly in Method 625 samples.
Based on the review of the analytical data for this sample and available historical Mathod 625 data for your
facility, we believe that reported contaminant, Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate is possibly a laboratory artifact.

Ric 03o5o(02(o3)
a. Classification: C
b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Catawba 030835
c. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: Good flow
observed in the receiving stream (4-6 feet wide x 6-8 inches deep). Other
dischargers exist downstream of this facility. Downstream uses are consistent for
Class C streams.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1. a. Volume of wastewater: 5.0 MGD (Design Capacity)
b. What is the current permitted capacity: The Permit contains limits for both 5.0
(current hydraulic capacity) and 7.5 MGD.
c. Actual treatment capacity of current facility (current design capacity): 5.0 MGD

Page Two
d. Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: The existing
WWT facilities consist of an influent lift station followed by mechanical
screening, aerated grit removal (two), lime addition, 2 primary (reactor) clarifiers,
4 aeration basins, 3 secondary clarifiers, dual media filters (two), chlorine gas
disinfection, dechlorination, 2 gravity sludge thickeners, 2 centrifuge sludge
thickeners, 2 sludge holding tanks, post aeration and stand-by power.
e. Description of proposed WWT facilities: There are no proposed WWT facilities at
this time.
PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests in this renewal: The
permittee has not requested changes to the monitoring or limitations contained in the
subject permit. Clark Creek is designated as impaired for biological integrity, with the
primary sources of the impairment found to be intentional channelization, urban
runoff/storm sewers, industrial point sources, and agriculture.
2. Compliance information: The last inspection conducted at this facility (November 2008)
did not note any operational or maintenance concerns, and there was only one minor
effluent exceedance noted.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Newton requests renewal of the subject Permit. There have been no notable
additions to the existing WWT facilities nor have there been any changes to the permit since the
last permit renewal. The City is currently discharging at an average flow of approximately 1.8
MGD, which is well below the WWTP's hydraulic capacity of 5.0 MGD. It is not anticipated
that the daily average flow will increase significantly during the term of the new permit unless
current economic conditions improve dramatically.
Pending receipt and review of the draft permit, it is recommended that the City's NPDES
permit be renewed as requested.

Biosolids Management Plan Summary
The City of Newton disposes of excess solids from the WWTP either by transporting the solids to the
Regional Compost Facility or through the City of Newton Land Application Program. The City of Conover
discharges wastewater to the Newton WWTP and is a vested owner in the Regional Compost consortium.
Presently Conover is transporting about 17% of the boisolids produced at the Newton WWTP to the
Compost facility for treatment and disposal. The remainder of the biosoilds are land applied in accordance
to the City of Newton Land Application Permit.
Primary clarifier sludge and wasted biological solids are pumped to the thickeners. Telescopic valves are
used to decant water off of the thickener as the solids settle. [f sludge is to be transferred to the Compost
Facility the solids are gravity thickened only. Solids to be land applied are gravity thickened with the
addition of lime. The pH of the solids is raised to above 12.0. The solids pH is retested after 2 hours to
verify that the pH is maintained above 12.0. After 22 hours the pH must be confirmed above 11.5 to meet
the requirements of vector attraction and pathogenic reduction. The biosolids are then land applied. Routine
sludge analyses are performed as required by the Land Application Permit.
