Dear Mr. Cummings:
In accordance with the application for discharge permit receivedton June 2, 1999, the'Division is
forwarding herewith the subject:state = 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 December 6, 1983.
Please note the following addition to the permit:
• There are currently 11 waters in the Lumber River Basin that have fish consumption advisories for
mercury, and appear as impaired waters on the North Carolina 1998 303(d) list. In order to
evaluate the relative contribution of mercury from NPDES point source dischargers, mercury
monitoring of effluent and sludge has been added to this permit. This data will then be used to
develop a mercury management strategy, by allocating allowable mercury loads to known sources
(both point and nonpoint). The ultimate goal of the mercury management strategy is to reduce fish
tissue mercuryconcentrations and eliminate the need for fish -consumption advisories in this basin.
• The effluent monitoring frequency for temperature has been modified from 3 times per week to
dailybased on North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2B .0508. This is the minimum
requirement for domestic dischargers into water quality limited streams, such as the Lumber
River.
• The instream monitoring requirement for conductivity has been deleted due to sufficient collection
of data for this parameter.
-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
1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone [phone]/FAX [phone]
An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 110% post -consumer paper

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. Part II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be
followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge. This permit does not affect the legal
requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits
required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other Federal or Local
governmental permits may be required.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Jacquelyn Nowell at

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-Februar) 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

5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found
each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of
pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the
tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part 1 of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge'.' is the totallmass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and /or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each
day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic .mean of the daily concentration
values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration Of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples
collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal .coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during! a calendar month. This
limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is, the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or. measiirec:i during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and Imeasured divided -by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value. is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the ' arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the •samplescollectecl during that calendar day. The average weekly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for sarnples collected during a
calendar week. This limitation is identified. as ."Weekly Average'' under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
z c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a ; pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken 'during any caleridari day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Ccincentration7. It is identified as "Daily •
Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the petmit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal colifoim bacteria, is the Sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured curing a calendar year on'
which daily discharges are sampled and measured diyided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or :measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples
Collected during that calendar. day . The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the
geometric meanof the counts for samples collected during'a 'calendar year. This limitation is
identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
•
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of
dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent priori to discharge averaged over a ,
calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is
considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily
average" in the text of Part I.
f. The .'quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samplestaken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
4 , .
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March,
April through June, July through September, and October through December.

7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged
monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the _
calendar month.
b.. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when
both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs
continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for
infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types-of.Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge
and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time: of individual sample
collection, or -
(2) a .series Of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour' period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point." Flow measurement' between sample intervals shall be determined by use Of a flow
recorder and totalizer, -and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at
no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
In' accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be 'no
-greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of
greater than .24 hours. In such ,cases, .effluent grab samples may be collected at time, intervals
evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which `areequal in number, of hours to the detention time
of the system in number of days: However, in_ no case may the time interval -between effluent •
grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less `than four (4) during a
24 hour sampling period. ;
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15, minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of; the discharge or the receiving waters. '
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual
values divided by the number of individualvalues. -
b. Geometric Mean:, The geometric inean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the
individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. -The geometric mean is
equivalent to the antilog' of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values.
For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one
(1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration
times its respective :flow divided by the summation` of the respective flows.

10. Calendar .Day.
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight :of one day until imidnight of the next day.
However, for purposes of this permit,any consecutive 24-houi period that' reasonablyrepresents -
the calendar day may be used for sampling. "

4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a.. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste. streams from any portion of a .treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a- designed or established or operating
mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical, damage to property, damage to the
treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable; or 'substantial arid permanent
loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected tol occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic ;loss caused by delays in
production. ' ' '
•
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations:
Theperrnittee may allow any bypass to occur which- does not cause effluent limitations to be
exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance .to assure efficient operation. These
bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. f this: section.. '
I _
c. Notice
(1)'Anticipated bypass. -If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall
submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of ,the bypass; including an
evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) `Unanticipated- bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit; Issuing Authority may take ;enforcement action against
a permittee for bypass, unless: •
(A) Bypass was unavoidable "to, prevent loss of life, personal injury 'or severe property'
damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary:treatment
facilities, retention of, untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of
equipment downtime: This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should

caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment
facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.-
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for "noncompliance with such
technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met, No determination made during administrative review of claims that
"noncompliance was caused by' upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
'administrative action subject to judicial review. -
Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. .
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;

Permit Notes
NC0027103
The Town of Pembroke is requesting renewal of existing permit. The. facility discharges
to the Lumber River and this segment is listed on the 1998 303(d) list due to a fish
consumption advisory for mercury. The stream classification is WS-IV and B Swamp
HQW. The plant has recently been upgraded to 1.33 MGD. Previous design capacity
was 0.82 MGD. Current limits are as follows:
BOD5 18 mg/1
NH3 12 mg/1
TSS 20 mg/1
DO 5 mg/1
Fecal 200/100m1
Chlorine 28 ug/1
Chronic Toxicity at 1.7%, (JAN APR JUL OCT)
The Pembroke WWTP appears to be a well operated plant. They have consistently met
most limits during the period of 1997 through 1999. A review of DMR data indicates
some violations of the TSS limit of 20 mg/1 with exceedances of the limit occurring in
Dec. 1998, August and Sept. 1999. There was one violation of the NH3 limit in Nov.
1998. Besides these recent violations, there have been no apparent problems with the
Pembroke facility.
There are currently 11 waters in the Lumber River Basin that have fish consumption
advisories for mercury, and appear as impaired waters on the North Carolina 1998 303(d)
list. In order to evaluate the relative contribution of mercury from NPDES point source
dischargers, `ereury monitoring of effluent and slludge hasbeens addellto this_permit: =='
.This data wviilkl fh tbbe,used to deuelop a2mefeuxyrnanage-ji ent'strategy, by allocating
allowable mercury loads to known sources (both point and nonpoint). The ultimate goal
of the mercury management strategy is to reduce fish tissue mercuryconcentrations and
eliminate the need for fish -consumption advisories in this basin. ,Will'_add;quarterl
effluent moniaorfng and semi-annualsludgemonitoningforrnxereury:to.. the Pembroke
f permit.
There is one issue that needs to be addressed. A review of the application indicated the
presence of several toxicants in the effluent, including aluminum, arsenic, cadmium,
chromium, copper, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, selenium and zinc. The
last WLA done in 1994 indicated that the facility was 100% domestic wastewater. This
info in the application indicates some type of industrial contributor to the plant. Will
confer with FRO to determine the source of these toxicants.
12/2/99 - Called Belinda Henson of FRO (she did the last staff report) and asked if she
had any idea about the Pembroke discharge. 12/7/99 - B. Henson returned call and said
that the only industry going into Pembroke was a bakery and there should be no metals or

anything in the wastestream. A few years back there was a machine shop but it was no
longer there. Does not understand where these metals and toxicants could be coming
from.
12/2/99 - Called Mike Wicker of Hobbs & Upchurch
12/7/99 - Called Town of Pembroke spoke to Karen Dial of their lab. She indicated that
the facility was 100% domestic wastewater. Hobbs and Upchurch Engineers prepared
the application for renewal and she had not seen it. She asked that I fax her a copy of the
application sheet that indicated that there were several metals, etc. present in their
effluent and she would call after reviewing it.
12/8/99 — Karen Dial of Pembroke called said that the sheet represented data that
definitely not their effluent. She's unsure where Hobbs and Upchurch's info came from,
but this was a gross error. Wants to complete another sheet to modify the application.
Told her I would check with supervisor, about what needed to be done to correct the
situation. Two recommendations from EEIIs, 1) have Pembroke run a sample of effluent
and test for each parameter that was denoted as present in the effluent. 2) Have the
mayor sign a certification/verification statement that these constituents are not present in
the effluent and place it in the Pembroke file.
Staff meeting recommendation for Pembroke situation: 1) Give them opportunity to
complete a new application, and they must explain the error made, 2) If explanation is not
clear, then they must sample effluent, 3) check with Pretreatment;to see if there is any old
data, info etc.
Will send copy of new app to Karen Dial of Pembroke. P.O. Box 866 Pembroke NC
28372
12/21/99 - Received a letter from Mike Wicker, he revised the application for
Pembroke by sending in a letter that indicated that Pembroke's effluent did not
contain any metals. The sludge analysis report contains the metals data and it
appears that the Hobbs, Upchurch project manager inadvertently included the
sludge data in the NPDES permit application. Attached the sludge sampling sheet
that shows the presence of Al, Mg, Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, As, Hg, and Se. The
same parameters that the NPDES application says are present in the effluent.
Will accept the revised application and continue the renewal process for Pembroke.
Will recommend renewal of the Pembroke permit with all existing limits and
monitoring requirements. M_ust4ncd�elanguage at;d' "uarxirIy,efu oning

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A (2). 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 1.7 %.
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 January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this
testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment
processes.
ti
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 supportin& 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.

Permit No. NC0027103
SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
(continued)
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.

Dear Ms. Nowell:

In reply to our telephone conversation regarding thebject NPDhS�permit re newayI•
have reviewed our project file to determine why Page II-7 of the NPDES permit
application , item 15 Additional Wastewater Characteristics, was checked for the
additional parameters for :
Aluminum,
Arsenic,
Cadmium,
Chromium,
Copper,
Iron,
Lead,
Manganese,
Mercury,
Nickel,
Selenium,
Zinc.
Thesee parameters -are -not -contained -in the sampling data for_the_efflue it and the Town
does not have any industrial contributions to the sewer system: The Town did not
generate these data numbers for the project manager for HUA; however, in the review of
our files I came across the last sludge permit renewal and the sludge sampling data
Southern Pines, NC • Telephone [phone] • Fax [phone] • e-mail: [e-mail]

Ms. Jackie Nowell

contains these parameters. It appears our project manager inadvertently included these in
the NPDES permit application.
We are providing a revised sheet II-7 for the NPDES Permit, which reflects none of these
parameters checked as present in the Town of Pembroke's effluent. P We have discussed
this matter with both the Town and the Fayetteville Regional Office and they concur that
none of these parameters are known to be in the wastewater effluent.

Subject: NPDES Permit Renewal Application
Permit NC0027103
Pembroke WWTP'
Robeson County'
The Division received your permit renewal application on June 2, 1999. Thank you for
submitting this package.
The permit renewal for this facility will be assigned to a member of the NPDES Unit staff.
That staff member will contact you if further information is needed to complete the permit
renewal. I regret to inform you that (due to the loss .of several staff members) the NPDES Unit
currently has five vacant positions. This staff shortage is causing delays in our processing of
permit renewals. Our remaining staff members are currently reviewing Authorizations to
Construct, speculative limit requests, "major permit modifications and 201 plan reviews ahead of
permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in
the statuteswhich govern our program. -
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NC0027103, the existing requirements -in your
permit will remain in effect until the .permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We
appreciate your patience and understanding whilewe operate with a severely depleted staff. If you
have any additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact me at
[phone], extension 511. '
