Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit No. NC0023906
City of Wilson Hominy Creek WRF
Wilson County
Facility Class IV
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to
the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and Memorandum of Agreement between
North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended).
Comments were received from Hominy Creek WRF on July 14, 2015. Through further review, the
following significant changes were made to the draft permit sent to you on June 3, 2015:
• Components of Hominy Creek Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) in the Supplement to
Permit Cover Sheet have been updated as requested by the Permittee.
• The number used in the draft permit had a rounding error, the TN Load Limit in sections
A.(1.) and A.(4.) was changed back to 157,886 lb/year.
• The discharge latitude coordinate of 35°40'37" and longitude coordinate of-77°53'51" have
been updated on the map.
Detailed responses to all the City's comments contained' in the letter dated July 8, 2015 can be
found in the Addendum to the Permit Fact Sheet included with the enclosed permit.
As identified previously, the renewal permit contains the following significant changes from
your current permit:
• The requirement to begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) intemet application has been added to your NPDES
permit. [See Special Condition A.(7.)]
For information on eDMR, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit
the following web page: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr.
For information on EPA's proposed NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule, please visit the following
web site: http://www2.epa.gov/compliance/proposed-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule.
The Division recognizes that the City is currently submitting eDMRs. This requirement is being
inserted into all NPDES permits and should be considered a formality.

♦
• As requested, three years of effluent data was reviewed for BOD5, TSS, ammonia -nitrogen, and fecal
coliform to assess if monitoring frequencies could be reduced. Based on the data review, the Hominy
Creek WRF is eligible to have reduced monitoring for all four parameters. The monitoring frequency
for each was reduced to twice per week and shall be performed on any two non-consecutive days
during the calendar week.
• Effluent sampling data for total copper showed reasonable potential to violate NC Water Quality
Standards (WQSs). However, copper is an action level parameter and limitations are applied in
conjunction with toxicity test results. Since this facility is passing its toxicity tests, limitations for
copper were not put in the permit. Monitoring was reduced to quarterly to coincide with toxicity
testing requirements.
• Effluent sampling data for total cadmium showed concentrations were all below detection limits. No
limitations and monitoring for cadmium are required. The cadmium limitations have been removed
from the permit renewal.
• Effluent sampling data for total zinc showed no reasonable potential to violate NC WQSs; however,
the maximum predicted value was greater than one half of the allowable allocation. Zinc monitoring
was removed from the permit but monitoring will continue as part of the facility's Pretreatment Long
Term Monitoring Program.
• Effluent sampling data for chloroform showed no potential to violate water quality standards and the
maximum predicted concentration was less than 50% of the allowable concentration. Monitoring for
chloroform has been removed from the permit.
• Selenium effluent data showed 14 samples <10 ug/L. The Hominy Creek WRF's chronic allowable
allocation for selenium is 5.3 ug/L. In accordance with NC Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC
02B .0500, all test procedures must produce detection and reporting levels that are below the permit
discharge requirements and all data generated must be reported to the approved detection level or
lower reporting level of the procedure. DWR's Water Sciences Section has determined that the
Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL) for selenium is 5 ug/L. Please see that the certified laboratory
performing the Town's metals analysis can measure to the approved detection level or lower
reporting level. A list of PQL's determined by the Division can be found at the following website:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/lab/ops/inorg.
• A new paragraph of permit language has been added in Special Condition A. (3.), Annual Limits for
Total Nitrogen, please review paragraph (c) carefully.
• Special Condition A.(6.) has been modified to include the specific three years in which the Effluent
Pollutant Scans shall be performed (2016, 2017, and 2018). In addition, at the end of the Special
Condition, 2nd species Toxicity Testing Requirements for municipalpermit renewals per Federal
Regulations [40 CFR 122.21(j)(5)] have been added.
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 demand is made,
this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. 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 Resources or any
other Federal, State, or Local government permits that may be required.
If you have questions concerning this permit, please contact Yang Song by e-mail
([e-mail]) or phone at [phone].

A. (2.) CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN LOADS
[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
a. The Permittee , shall calculate monthly and annual TN Loads as follows:
i. Monthly TN Load (lb/mo) = TN x TMF x 8.34
where:
TN = the average Total Nitrogen concentration (mg/L) of the
composite samples collected during the month
TMF = the Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the
month (MG/mo)
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
ii. Annual TN Load (lb/yr) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN Loads for the calendar year
b. The Permittee shall report monthly Total Nitrogen results (mg/L and lb/mo) in the
appropriate discharge monitoring report for each month and shall report each year's results
(lb/yr) with the December report for that year.
A. (3.) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TOTAL NITROGEN
[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
a. Total Nitrogen (TN) allocations and TN Load limits for NPDES dischargers in the Neuse River
basin are annual limits and are applied for the calendar year.
b. For any given calendar year, the Permittee shall be in compliance with the annual TN Load
limit in this Permit if:
i. the Permittee's annual TN Load is less than or equal to said limit, or
ii. the Permittee is a co-permittee member of a compliance association.
c. If the Permittee is not a co-permittee member of a compliance association and the Permittee's
cumulative annual TN discharge exceeds the effective TN Load limit in this permit at any
point during the calendar year, the Permittee is in violation of its TN Load limit, and each
day of a continuing violation shall constitute a separate violation.
d. The TN Load limit in this Permit (if any) may be modified as the result of allowable changes
in the Permittee's TN allocation.
i. Allowable changes include those resulting from purchase of TN allocation from the
Wetlands Restoration Fund; purchase, sale, trade, or lease of allocation between the
Permittee and other dischargers; regionalization; and other transactions approved by the
Division.
ii. The Permittee may request a modification of the TN Load limit in this Permit to reflect
allowable changes in its TN allocation. Upon receipt of timely and proper application, the
Division will modify the permit as appropriate and in accordance with state and federal
program requirements.
iii. Changes in TN limits become effective on January 1 of the year following permit
modification. The Division must receive application no later than August 31 for changes
proposed for the following calendar year.
iv. Application shall be sent to:
NCDWR / NPDES Programs
Attn: Neuse River Basin Coordinator
1617 Mail Service Center

A. (5.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
[15A NCAC 02B .0200 et seq.]
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, puarierlu monitoring using test procedures
outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia.Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised
December 2010, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent
Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised- December 2010) or subsequent versions. The tests will be
performed during the months of February, May, August and November. These months signify
the first month of each three-month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent
sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge and 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 -December 2010) 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,
DWR Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1623 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1623
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water 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 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 Water 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. Assessment of toxicity compliance is
based on the toxicity testing quarter, which is the three month time interval that begins on the
first day of the month in which toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues until the
final day of the third month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Resources 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.

BACKGROUND
The City of Wilson operates a 14 MGD Hominy Creek Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) that
discharges treated municipal wastewater (domestic and industrial) into Contentnea Creek (a tributary to
the Neuse River). The plant serves approximately 51,449 people in the City of Wilson, Town of Lucama,
Town of Black Creek, and Town of Sims. The City's current NPDES permit expired on May 31, 2013
and has been administratively continued. The Permittee submitted the renewal application on December
4, 2012. The facility requested NH3-N, TSS, BOD5, and fecal coliform monitoring frequency reductions
during this renewal based on consistent, long-term treatment performance at levels far below effluent
limitations. The City of Wilson has fourteen (14) significant industrial users (SIUs) and a full
pretreatment program through the Division of Water Resource's PERCS Unit. The Hominy Creek WRF
also has non -discharge permits WQ0001896 and WQ0023177, for stabilized biosolids land application.
Granville Farms, Inc operates the land application program for the City of Wilson. The City is reusing a
portion of its wastewater under Non -discharge permit WQ0018709.
The Hominy Creek WRF utilizes activated sludge to treat municipal wastewater and provides tertiary
treatment, including nitrogen and phosphorus removal. Raw wastewater from the off -site and on -site
pump stations receives preliminary treatment by screening and grit removal before being conveyed to the
primary clarifiers. From the primary clarifiers, flow is distributed to the biological nutrient removal
(BNR) activated sludge stage. Major process units of the BNR activated sludge stage consist of a
biological phosphorus removal (BPR) tank, seven (7) aeration tanks, five (5) secondary clarifiers and
three (3) return activated sludge (RAS) pumping stations. Secondary clarifier effluent receives tertiary
treatment in five (5) effluent filters and is then aerated and disinfected in two (2) post aeration/chlorine
contact tanks. The effluent is discharged to Contentnea Creek through a 48-inch outfall. Biosolids
generated at the Hominy Creek WRF are stabilized to a Class B residual by anaerobic digestion or further
to a Class A residual by an alkaline sludge stabilization process prior to disposal by land application or
disposal to a regional compost facility.
Wilson/ Hominy Creek WRF
NPDES Renewal
Page 1

This facility is located in Subbasin 03-04-07 and discharges to Contentnea Creek, classified C-Swamp
and NSW waters in the Neuse River Basin. The flow in Contentnea Creek is regulated by release from
the upstream Wiggins Mill Reservoir. The minimum release is 1.3 cfs and DWR has used this value as a
7Q10 flow. The segment of Contentnea Creek where the Hominy Creek WRF discharges is not listed on
North Carolina's final 2014 303(d) list. However, approximately nine (9) miles downstream of the
discharge, that segment of Contentnea Creek is impaired for aquatic life based on the exceedance of
biological criteria. Parameter of interest is benthos.
WATER QUALITY CONSIDERATIONS
Contentnea Creek is a tributary to the Neuse River. According to the 2009 Basinwide Water Quality
Management Plan for the Neuse, the primary water quality considerations for point sources in the Basin
are discharges of (1) oxygen -demanding substances and (2) nutrients.
Oxygen Demand
As stated in the 2003 fact sheet, due to the swamp -like nature of Contentnea Creek, a steady state one
dimensional model could not be used to determine limits for oxygen consuming parameters. The BOD5
limits at 14 MGD are based on BPJ (tertiary treatment levels). The Hominy Creek plant is designed for
tertiary treatment and biological nutrient removal.
Nitrogen
The Environmental Management Commission adopted Nutrient Management Strategy rules in December
1997, classifying the entire Neuse River Basin as Nutrient Sensitive Waters. The point source rule (T15A
NCAC 2B .0234) sets Total Nitrogen (TN) discharge limits for all point source dischargers larger than
0.5 MGD.
The rule also allows dischargers to form a group compliance association and work together to reduce
nitrogen; this option allows the association members added flexibility in controlling nitrogen discharges.
At the same time, the association is subject to a group NPDES permit ensuring that the association and its
individual members are accountable if they exceed the applicable nitrogen limits.
Under the rule, there are three types of TN limit in the Neuse:
1. the individual limits in the dischargers' individual permits,
2. the aggregate limit in an association's group NPDES permit, and
3. the individual allocations/limits for each Association member, also in that association permit.
A discharger may be subject to the first type of limit, or to the second and third, but never to all three at
the same time. The discharger is first subject to the TN limit (if any) in its individual NPDES permit. If it
becomes a co-permittee to a compliance association's group NPDES permit, it is then governed by the
TN limits in that permit. If the association complies with its group TN limit in a given year, all members
are deemed to be in compliance with their individual allocations/ limits in the group permit. If the
association exceeds its limit, the members then become subject to their individual allocations/ limits as
well.
Regardless of which permit governs a TN discharge, allocations/ limits will likely change over time as
the dischargers purchase, sell, trade, lease, or otherwise transfer nitrogen allocations. The Division will
modify the affected permits as necessary to ensure that the limits are kept up to date and reflect any such
transactions.
CURRENT EFFLUENT CHARACTERISTICS
The Hominy Creek WRF's average flow was 9.83 MGD during the calendar year of 2014, which
represents 70.2% of the permitted flow. Monthly average flows ranged from 7.2 to 12.5 MGD.

EVALUATION OF COMPLIANCE DATA
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) have been reviewed for the period of January 2010 through
January 2015. In January 2015, the facility had one weekly average exceedance and one monthly average
exceedance for BOD5, as well as one weekly average exceedance and one monthly average exceedance
for TSS. This was reported to be caused by solids being washed out in the secondary clarifier during an
extreme rain event. Apart from those exceedances, there have been no other limit violations.
A recent staff report done by Mitch Hayes of the RRO was received on January 22, 2015. No significant
issues or findings were noted. The Region pointed out that the Fecal Coliform Compliance Condition A.
(6.) was no longer needed. RRO conducted four (4) routine compliance inspections with two (2)
pretreatment audits since the existing permit was issued on December 1, 2008. These inspections found
the facility to be very reliable.
Toxicity Testing: Since January 2010 the facility has passed 20 of 20 chronic toxicity tests and 4 fathead
minnow second species tests.
INSTREAM MONITORING
Wilson is part of the Lower Neuse Basin Association (LNBA) and is not required to perform the instream
monitoring listed in this permit.
The LNBA monitors upstream and downstream sites on Contentnea Creek [J6764000, upstream at Hwy.
301, above the Hominy Creek WRF; J6890000, downstream at NCSR 1622]. Monitoring data, obtained
through EPA STORET database, from January 2010 through December 2013 was reviewed. It showed no
violations for temperature, pH and downstream DO. Only one upstream DO sample concentration was
lower than the minimum instantaneous value of 4 mg/L. For fecal coliform, upstream samples reported 3
instances over 400/100 ml and downstream fecal coliform samples reported 8 over 400/100 ml. Since the
facility had no violations of BOD5 and fecal coliform from 2010 through 2013 in the effluent samples, it
is not likely that the effluent caused the higher fecal coliform concentrations downstream. Concerning the
conductivity, 12 instances were observed that downstream conductivities were over 200% of upstream
conductivities. And 11 out of 12 of those instances were reported in the summer period (April - October).
Among those 12 instances, the corresponding effluent conductivities, if recorded, showed an average of
7.9 times of the upstream conductivity. Since the facility is passing their toxicity tests, no further action
will be taken.
REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSES (RPA) RESULTS
The Division conducted EPA -recommended analyses to determine the reasonable potential for toxicants
to be discharged by this facility, based on DMR data from January 2012 through December 2014.
Effluent samples for arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cyanide, lead, and silver showed parameters were less
than detection levels.
Reasonable potential analyses were conducted for copper, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, zinc,
chloroform, and dichlorobromomethane. See attached RPA results and data.
• Copper — the maximum predicted value for total copper demonstrated a reasonable potential to
exceed both the chronic and acute allowable concentrations (permit limit). However, copper has
Wilson/ Hominy Creek WRF
NPDES Renewal
Page 3

an action level standard and is reviewed in conjunction with toxicity testing results. The facility
has passed all toxicity tests since January 2010; therefore, no limit for copper was added but
monitoring was maintained in the permit with the monitoring frequency reduced to quarterly.
• Molybdenum, Nickel and Chloroform — effluent data for all three parameters showed no
potential to violate water quality standards and the maximum predicted concentrations were all
less than 50% of the allowable allocations. Chloroform monitoring was removed from the permit.
• Zinc — effluent data showed no reasonable potential to exceed state water quality standards;
however, the maximum predicted concentration was greater than 50% of the allowable
allocation. Zinc monitoring was removed from the permit but will continue as part of the City's
Pretreatment LTMP.
• Dichlorobromomethane — effluent data showed no reasonable potential to exceed state water
quality standards; however, the maximum predicted concentration was greater than 50% of the
allowable allocation. Dichlorobromomethane monitoring remains in the permit with a monitoring
frequency of quarterly.
• Selenium — effluent samples were all < 10 ug/L. The chronic allowable allocation for selenium is
5.3 ug/L. The Permittee will be notified that in accordance with NC Administrative Code Section
15A NCAC 02B .0500, all test procedures must produce detection and reporting levels that are
below the permit discharge requirements and all data generated must be reported to the approved
detection level or lower reporting level of the procedure. DWR's Water Sciences Section has
determined that the Practical Quantitation Limit for selenium is 5 ug/L.
Quarterly monitoring for arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, cyanide, lead, mercury, molybdenum,
nickel, silver, selenium, and zinc will continue as part of the City's Pretreatment LTMP.
EFFLUENT POLLUTANT SCANS
Effluent pollutant scans were performed in the 1 S` quarter of 2012, 2"d quarter of 2013, and 3rd quarter of
2014. Data from these annual effluent pollutant scans was evaluated and total phenolic compounds were
detected in addition to chloroform, dichlorobromomethane, and some of the metals. However, none of
the reported samples for chloroform, dichlorobromomethane, and metals were greater than the
concentrations analyzed in the RPA discussed above. Total phenolic compounds were detected at levels
less than the NC Aesthetic WQS.
MERCURY TMDL EVALUATION
Low level effluent mercury data was reviewed from January 2010 to December 2014. In accordance with
the 2012 Mercury TMDL NPDES Guidance the permittee needs to show annual mean effluent
concentrations below both the Water Quality Based Effluent Limitation (WQBEL) of 12.7 ng/L and the
Technology Based Effluent Limitation (TBEL) of 47 ng/L. A review of the data showed that the annual
averages were below both the WQBEL and the TBEL, therefore, no mercury limitation is required. The
permittee will be required to continue monitoring mercury as part of its effluent pollutant scans using
EPA test method 1631 E.
According to the statewide mercury TMDL NPDES implementation plan, if a facility greater than 2
MGD reports effluent samples greater than 1 ng/L the Permittee shall implement a Mercury
Minimization Plan (MMP). During 2010 and 2011 only one sample for each of the two years was over 1
ng/L (<10% of the samples). The blank for the 2010 sample which was greater than 1 ng/L was 0.248
ng/L. If the blank value was subtracted, the real effluent mercury concentration would be less than 1
ng/L. In the year of 2011, the blank was 20 ng/L and the effluent mercury concentration was 1.11 ng/L.
Obviously there was a testing error with the blank. As a consequence, these two test results have a
limited significance in deciding whether the City should perform a Mercury Minimization Plan. All
effluent mercury samples from 2012 through Feb. 2015 were reported to be less than 1 ng/L. Therefore,
no Mercury Minimization Plan will be required for the Hominy Creek WRF at this time.

NUTRIENTS
This permit includes nutrient limits consistent with the Nutrient Management Strategy rule (T15A NCAC
2B .0234).
Nitrogen. Under this rule, the Hominy Creek WRF received a base TN Load allocation of 157,684 lb/yr,
a calendar year limit.
The City of Wilson is a member of the Neuse River Compliance Association at this time. As long as it
remains a co-Permittee member, it is deemed to be in compliance with the TN limit in this permit, and its
TN discharge is governed instead by the Association's group NPDES permit, modified December 29,
2014.
Phosphorus. The City's 2.0 mg/L Total Phosphorus limit is carried forward in the permit renewal as a
quarterly average limit to conform to the rule.
FECAL COLIFORM SPECIAL CONDITION
The fecal coliform compliance special condition was removed based on no effluent fecal coliform
violations from 2010 through 2014. In addition, the RRO staff report requested removal of the fecal
coliform special condition in the permit renewal.

NAME: DATE:
ADDENDUM TO FACT SHEET (AUGUST 20, 2015)
No comments were received from Region IV EPA or the RRO — Water Quality Program. Comments were
received from Hominy Creek WRF on July 14, 2015. The comments are summarized below along with Division
responses and any changes made to the permit as a result of these comments.
Comments on draft permit page 2:
1. The Permittee requested corrections to the components list.
Corrections to the components list were made as requested.
Comments on draft permit page 3:
1. The Permittee requested that the monitoring frequency for DO, total residual chlorine, temperature,
conductivity, and pH be reduced to "Twice/Week".
According to DWR Guidance Regarding the Reduction of Monitoring Frequencies in NPDES
Permits for Exceptionally Performing Facilities, facilities demonstrating consistent, long-term
treatment performance at levels far below effluent limitations (<50%) may be considered for a
reduction in monitoring from existing permit frequencies to a 2/week minimum frequency for the
parameters: BOD5, CBOD5, TSS, NH3-N, and fecal coliform/enterococci (the "target
parameters'). Based on the data review, the Hominy Creek WRF is eligible to have reduced
monitoring for BOD5, TSS, NH3-N, and fecal coliform. Other parameters: DO, total residual
chlorine, temperature, conductivity, and pH are not applicable for reduced monitoring and their
monitoring requirements are based on 15A NCAC 2B .0508.
Wilson/ Hominy Creek WRF
NPDES Renewal
Page 6

2. The Permittee requested the addition of a superscript 2 to fecal coliform instream monitoring.
To be consistent with other instream parameters, a superscript 2 was put next to "Fecal
Coliform " instream monitoring in section A. (1.).
3. The Permittee requested verification of the TN Load Limit of "157,887 lb/year" since their current permit
shows a TN Load Limit of "157,886 lb/year".
The number used in the draft permit had a rounding error, the TN Load Limit in section A. (1.)
was changed back to "157,886 lb/year".
4. The Permittee requested that the monitoring frequency citations for temperature and conductivity instream
monitoring be changed to "Footnote 2".
To be consistent with other NPDES permits, "Footnote 2" was put under the Monitoring
Frequency columns for temperature and conductivity instream monitoring.
5. The Permittee requested that monitoring for total copper be removed from the permit.
The Reasonable Potential Analysis was performed in accordance with the EPA's Permit
Writers' Technical Support Document. The analysis determined that the maximum predicted
effluent concentration for total copper showed a reasonable potential to exceed both the chronic
and acute allowable concentrations. The Division understands that the Permittee will continue
to monitor copper as part of its Pretreatment LTMP; however, parameters showing reasonable
potential to exceed limitations shall be maintained in the permittee's "Effluent Limitations and
Monitoring Requirements."
6. The Permittee requested that monitoring for dichlorobromomethane be removed from the permit.
The Reasonable Potential Analysis showed that the maximum predicted effluent concentration
for dichlorobromomethane was over half of the allowable concentration so quarterly
monitoring will be maintained in the permit. If the next 12 effluent samples for
dichlorobromomethane are all less than detection (<5 ug/L) than the Permittee can request that
the permit be modified and the parameter be removed from the Effluent Limitations and
Monitoring Requirements sheet.
7. The Permittee requested that the phrase "Monitor and Report" by the parameters conductivity, total copper,
dichlorobromomethane, and the Effluent Pollutant Scan be removed since the term is redundant.
The phrase "Monitor and Report" by the parameters conductivity, total copper, and
dichlorobromomethane was removed from the effluent limits table. The phrase "Monitor and
Report" for the Effluent Pollutant Scan was maintained in the permit for consistency with other
NPDES permits.
Comments on draft permit page 4:
1. The Permittee requested removal of instream monitoring requirements in footnote 2, especially since they
are <50% of their allowable load.
Actual instream data is useful in confirming that Water Quality Standards are being protected,
especially since not all site specific factors can be considered when developing permit
limitations. Instream monitoring requirements are waived only as long as the Permittee is a
member of the Lower Neuse Basin Association. This is because the Association collects data
throughout the Basin to help in the overall assessment of water quality in the watershed. The
instream monitoring requirements were maintained in the permit. Should the Permittee
terminate their membership with the Association then the Permittee is required to perform
instream sampling as described in footnote 2.
2. The Permittee requested that the TRC footnote require the Permitee to report all data below 50 µg/L as "<50
µ"•
This request was formally presented by NCWQA to the Division of Water Resources. The DWR
laboratory staff is currently evaluating this request. When the evaluation is completed, and if
Wilson/ Hominy Creek WRF

the outcome affects the wording in this permit, the Permittee can request a permit modification,
if desired.
3. The Permittee requested removal of the statement "There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible
foam in other than trace amounts".
The statement is based on narrative standards in 1 SA NCAC 02B .021 and is a uniform
statement put in NPDES permits. It was maintained in this permit.
Comments on draft permit page 6:
1. The Permittee requested verification of TN Load Limit.
The TN Load Limit in section A.(4.) was changed back to 157,886 lb/year.
Comments on draft permit page 8:
1. The Permittee requested that "Acid -Extractable" shall be underlined and italicized.
To be consistent with the other fraction headings the correction in special condition A. (6.) was
made as requested.
2. The Permittee requested that the due dates for Effluent Pollutant Scan reports be changed from "December
31 St of each designated sampling year" to "December 31 S` of each designated sampling year, or within 90
days of sampling, whichever is latest". Since the Permittee usually performs effluent pollutant scan sampling
in conjunction with toxicity testing and the 4th quarter sampling is performed in November, the December
31st deadline could present some difficulty.
Through discussions with Mr. Jimmy Pridgen, Water Reclamation Manager, the Permittee was
informed that there is no requirement for effluent pollutant scans to be performed in conjunction
with toxicity tests. If the Permittee wants to perform both samples at the same time, the Aquatic
Toxicity Branch agreed that the toxicity test could be performed earlier in the 4t quarter, i.e.
October, so results could be received by December 31'. The Permittee should inform DWR's
Central Office, Raleigh Regional Office, and Aquatic Toxicology Branch in writing if they move
toxicity testing to October in order to avoid any notice of violation.

Comments on draft permit page 10:
1. The Permittee requested removal of statement "Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due
on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last
day of the month following the commencement of the discharge" due to the fact that standard conditions
contain the same statement.

We understand this statement is a duplicate of the one in the standard conditions. However,
since special condition A. (7), Electronic Reporting of Discharge Monitoring Reports, is
uniformly put in each permit, for consistency no changes were made to the condition.
Comments on draft permit page 11:
1. The Permittee requested that the discharge coordinates for latitude and longitude be updated as follows:
35°41'14" and-77°53'45".
The discharge coordinates were corrected on the map as requested.

Dear Mr. Song:
The City of Wilson thanks you for your efforts in renewing our NPDES permit and appreciates
the opportunity to comment on the draft permit you provided to us with your letter dated June 3,
2015. After a thorough review of the draft permit, we have identified several items that we ask
you to consider modifying. I have listed them by page number below.
Page 2: Add: "one (1) mechanical bar screen at influent pump station".
Add: "one (1) serpentine conveyor at influent pump station".
Please clarify that the "two (2) service entrances to provide redundant power
source of electric power" applies only to the influent pump station, not the entire
WWTP.
Change: "two (2) automatic bar screens" to "two (2) mechanical bar screens".
Change: "mechanical bar screens" to "manual bar screens".
Remove: "two (2) preaeration basins (out of service)"
(these basins were modified and are replaced by the "two (2) flow equalization
basins")
Change: "one (1) biological nutrient removal tank" to "one (1) biological
phosphorus removal tank"

Remove "Monitor and Report" from the following parameters: Conductivity,
Total Copper, Dichlorobromomethane, and Effluent Pollutant Scan. (This
statement is not needed).
Page 4: Footnote 2: We request that instream monitoring requirements be removed.
(Point sources in the Neuse Basin are <50% of their allowable load so we do not
feel this requirement is necessary.)
Page 6:
Page 8:
Page 10:
Footnote 6: This should be worded so that all effluent TRC values that are less
than 50 p.g/L shall be reported on DMR as "< 50" µg/L.
The statement "There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in
other than trace amounts" is not needed and should be removed.
Please verify the TN Load Limit of "157,887" lb/year in table A. (4.) a.
Our previous permit listed a value of "157,886" lb/year.
In the middle column, please underline and italicize "Acid -Extractable
compounds:" so that it is differentiated as a header and not an analyte, as "Base -
neutral compounds:" is done below it in the same column.
Request that the due dates for Effluent Pollutant Scan reports be changed from
"December 31 St of each designated sampling year" to "December 31 st of each
designated sampling year, or within 90 days of sampling, whichever is latest".
We typically perform Effluent Pollutant Scans in conjunction with our Toxicity
testing, especially multi -species. We are required to do this testing in various
seasons and one of those would be in November. The December 31 St deadline
could present some difficulty when we sample in the last quarter of the year.
Please remove "Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the
last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new
facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of the
discharge". This statement is already provided in "Part II - Standard Conditions
for NPDES Permits, Section D — Monitoring and Records, Item 2 — Reporting"
and is not needed.
Page 11: Please verify latitude coordinate of 35° 41' 14"and longitude coordinate
(Map) of -77° 53' 45" listed on the map. We provided updated latitude coordinate of 35°
40' 37"and longitude coordinate of -77° 54' 51" in the permit renewal application.
Our coordinates were determined from a personal GPS unit positioned at the
discharge pipe.

Page 3:
a. Request the Dissolved Oxygen measurement frequency at the effluent be changed from "Daily"
to "Twice/Week". — Based on T15A NCAC 26.0500, domestic wastewater facilities with class IV
shall monitor effluent DO with a frequency of daily.
b. Change "Fecal Coliform" for Upstream & Downstream to read "Fecal Coliform2". — OK yet need
double check with the permittee.
c. Request the total residual chlorine measurement frequency at the effluent be changed from
"Daily" to "Twice/Week". - Based on T15A NCAC 26.0500, domestic wastewater facilities with
class IV shall monitor effluent TRC with a frequency of daily.
d. Please verify the TN Load Limit of "157,887 lb/year". Our previous permit listed a value of
"157,886 lb/year". —OK we can change that. It is just a play of rounding numbers. Double check
with permittee on what they have right now.
e. Request that Temperature measurement frequency at the effluent be changed from "Daily" to
"Twice/Week". - Based on T15A NCAC 2B.0500, domestic wastewater facilities with class IV shall
monitor effluent Temperature with a frequency of daily.
f. Change "3/Week" for Conductivity at Upstream & Downstream to read "Footnote 2". — OK
g. Request that Conductivity measurement frequency at the Effluent be changed from "Daily" to
"Twice/Week". - Based on T15A NCAC 26.0500, domestic wastewater facilities with class IV shall
monitor effluent Conductivity with a frequency of daily.
h. Change "3/Week" for Conductivity at Upstream & Downstream to read "Footnote 2". —OK
i. Request that monitoring for Total Copper be removed from the permit. We would continue to
monitor as part of the facility's Pretreatment Long Term Monitoring Program. — Through our
Rationale Potential Analysis (RPA) analysis, the maximum predicted value for total copper

demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed both the chronic and acute allowable
concentrations. This parameter can not be removed from the permit and quarterly monitoring
shall coincide with toxicity tests.
j. Request that monitoring for Dichlorobromomethane be removed from the permit. —Although
the RPA analysis for dichlorobromomethane didn't show potential to violate water quality
standards, the maximum predicted concentration was higher than 50% of the allowable
concentration. Quarterly monitoring shall be sill maintained in the permit. In addition, the LTMP
does not have a parameter of concern of Dichlorobromomethane.
k. Request that pH measurement frequency at the Effluent be changed from "Daily" to
"Twice/Week". - Based on T15A NCAC 2B.0500, domestic wastewater facilities with class IV shall
monitor effluent pH with a frequency of daily.
I. Remove "Monitor and Report" from the following parameters: Conductivity, Total Copper,
Dichlorobromomethane, and Effluent Pollutant Scan. — I can do that for Conductivity, total
copper, dichlorobromomethane. The one for Effluent Pollutant Scan shall remain.
Page 4:
a. Footnote 2: We request that instream monitoring requirements be removed. — We still need to
have the instream monitoring requirements in this permit renewal even if the permittee is
waived to conduct instream monitoring. Also, based on T15A NCAC 2B.0500, domestic
wastewater facilities with class IV shall monitor instream samples.
b. Footnote 6: This should be worded so that all effluent TRC values that are less than 50 ug/L shall
be reported on DMR as "<50" ug/L. — Effective March 1, 2008, the Division received EPA
approval to allow a 50ug/L TRC compliance level. This change is due to analytical difficulties with
TRC measurements. Facilities will still be required to report actual results on their monthly DMR
submittals, but for compliance purposes, all TRC values below 50 ug/I will be treated as zero.
c. The statement "There should be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than
trace amounts" is not needed and should be removed. - Based on T15A NCAC 2B.0200, fresh
surface water quality standards for class C waters has narrative requirements on floating solids,
settleable solids, or sludge deposits.

On December 12, 2014, Mitch Hayes of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted the subject
inspection. The assistance of Debbie Collins and yourself with the inspection was greatly appreciated.
Below is a list of findings developed from the inspection:
1. The subject permit was reissued and became effective December 01, 2009 and expired May
31, 2013. Please continue to operate under the last issued permit.
2. The Division of Water Resources (DWR) will implement an electronic discharge monitoring
report program. This program requires all NPDES-permitted facilities report monthly monitoring
report data electronically through the Division's eDMR (Electronic Discharge Monitoring
Report) program. All existing permitted facilities and any new permitted facilities/dischargers
will be required to comply with the permit requirement no later than 90 days after the next
permit issuance becomes effective. For more information on eDMRs, registering for eDMR
submittal, and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit DWR's webpage:
http://portal.ncdenr.orq/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr. If you have any questions about this
process please contact Autumn Romanski at 919.791.4255.
3. The 14.0 MGD Wastewater Treatment Facility consists of the of the following units: influent

belt filter presses (BFP), three (3) return waste activated sludge pump stations; a ten -ton per
day alkaline sludge stabilization facility capable of producing Class A dewatered sludge; three
(3) liquid sludge holding tanks; and a septage receiving station. •
4. At the time of inspection the following was observed: all 4 influent pumps are operational and
used concurrently; the 2 mechanical screens, 2 grit collectors, and the 2 grit classifiers were
operational and used concurrently but only one of each were in service; two biological
phosphorus tanks were being operated; filtrate from the GBT and the BFP was being fed into
both flow equalization basins; all 3 primary clarifiers are operational and used concurrently
however, 1 and 3 were in service; all 7 Biological Nutrient Reduction (BNR) trains were being
operated, Microseed was being fed at the end of each treatment trains; 5 secondary clarifiers,
and 5 tertiary filters were in operation; all 3 GBT and BFP units are operational and used
concurrently but two were in use; Class B biosolids took up to 75% of the floor which are stored
under shelter; and all 4 anaerobic digester methane units were operating normally. Excess
methane was being ignited. All air diffusers in the aeration basins appeared to be operating
normally. The color of the influent was a medium chocolate brown with foam covering over
60% of the service. The effluent appeared clear in the reareation / dechlorination tank. The
reuse water pond was not in service.
5. Granville Farms operates the Land Application Program under permit WQ0001896. Class B
solids are land applied on private farms or transported to Eastern Composting in Battleboro,
NC.
6. The laboratory was checked in a cursory manner. All instrument calibration logs are being
maintained. The BOD incubator temperature was 19.5 degrees C, the fecal bath temperature
was 44.5 degrees C, sample refrigerator was 2 degrees C, and the TSS oven was 105 degrees
C. An operator's logbook was available and being maintained. The influent and effluent flow
sampler temperature was 3 degrees C. The influent and effluent flow meters are calibrated
every 90 days by Pearson Controls Services from Raleigh, NC. All pH buffers were within
expiration date.
7. Discharge Monitoring Reports for the period September 2012 through October 2014 were
reviewed for compliance with permit limits and monitoring requirements. There were no
violations for the review period. Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench
sheets were compared with data submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) for the
month of August 2014. No discrepancies were noted.
I would like to thank you and Debbie Collins for your time and assistance with this inspection. If
you have any questions about this letter or the inspection please contact Mitch Hayes at

Attachments: Acceptance of Discharge - Town of Sims.pdf
Julie,
Please find attached the City of Wilson's letter accepting of the backwash waste from the Town of Sims' Radium Removal
System. As noted in the attached letter, the only issue the City will have will be the high salt concentration in the discharge. Our
plans are currently being revised to include a 1,500 gallon equalization tank to flow pace the discharge into the Town of Sims'
collection system to reduce the Town's overall chloride concentration to less than 200 mg/I.
This email has been copied to Richard Dickie, Public Water Supply's Review Engineer. Richard is reviewing the Application for
Approval of Engineering Plans and Specifications for Water Supply Systems for this project. I have let him know of our
discussions and told him I would forward him this same letter in response to his review comment. Also copied is Jimmy Pridgen,
the City of Wilson's Water Reclamation Manager.
If you should have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter,

SUBJECT: Acceptance of Proposed Discharge — Town of Sims (Radium Removal System)
Dear Mr. Dienes:
The City of Wilson has reviewed the information you have submitted concerning the proposed radium removal
system that the Town of Sims is considering utilizing in the future. The information you submitted indicated usage
of this system is expected to result in a regeneration frequency of once per month and the volume of discharge is
expected to be 1,367 gallons per event. You further indicated that the water discharged would have an estimated
activity of 343 — 411 pCi/L and a salt concentration value of roughly 22,900 mg/L.
_Based upon the information you provided, the City of Wilson has determined that it can accept this discharge as
proposed with the following stipulations:
1. The City of Wilson will require installation of flow equalization equipment of sufficient size to contain
all of the regeneration water from a single event. In addition, the discharge rate from this system shall
be controlled to insure that the overall chloride concentration does not exceed 200 mg/L within the
City of Wilson's wastewater collection system after mixing with the Town of Sims average sewer
flow. Upon request, the City may grant a variance that would increase this limit with some additional
stipulations.
2. The Town of Sims agrees to reimburse the City of Wilson fully for any monitoring expenses incurred
in the future that could result from agreeing to accept this discharge. This is to allow for additional
monitoring that could be established by NCDENR-DWQ in future NPDES permits.
The City of Wilson accepts this discharge; however, the Town of Sims must continue to meet the requirements of
the City's Sewer Use Ordinance. The review and acceptance of this discharge and procedure shall in no way relieve
the Town of Sims from the responsibility to produce an effluent acceptable to the city's wastewater treatment
system.
Thank you f9r contacting the o ' ilson regarding this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me at

I spoke with Tom Dienes at Green Engineering on Friday, 4/19/2013. I asked him to work with the City of Wilson to calculate
WWTP influent concentration numbers for chloride and total dissolved solids, if possible. Once we see those numbers we can
compare them to water supply, water quality standards and any info pretreatment might have on process inhibition numbers.
If the concentrations do not show any significant impact to the WWTP, then the City will be allowed to accept the ion exchange
backwash -if they choose too. We will make a note in the file and recognize the additional wastestream, frequency, and volume
in the next permit renewal for the City of Wilson.

Julie,
Some additional information from Wilson on the WTP discharge.

Deborah,

Yes, the wastewater is from Town of Sims water treatment wastewater that is the result of an ton Exchange baehkwash.
Please see attached info from Green Engineering. They indicate a backwash of approx 1,367 gallons/event with
concentration of 343-411 pCi/L. For our calculations, we increased those values for to provide a safety factor and
used 2,000 gallons/event with concentration of 500 pCi/L.
7�y 7Zf' Lid PiJ'3 ,
Based on those values, a discharge of 500 pCi/L with volume of 2000 gallons/backwash (7580 Liters) gives me a total
3,790,000 pCi/backwash event. That amount into a low flow day for us of approx 4 MG (15.16 MLiters) gives me a
final concentration of 0.25 pCi/Liter at our Influent. (Please verify that I am figuring that correctly.)
This would be a back-up well for them and they plan to only use once a week and they expect to only backwash
1/month, so that 0.25pCi/Liter at our Influent would only be occurring 1 day/month. Of course that could change if
this became their primary well in the future due to failure of the current primary well.
I am not aware of any other radioactive contaminants that would be of concern from Sims. Basically, they
discontinued use of this well because they were exceeding the drinking water limits for Radium and then opened a new
well to achieve compliance. State drinking water staff have told them they need to have a back-up well available in
event of emergency, so that is why they are looking at this option.
Let me know if you have any other questions or if you need more info.
Thanks, yv� Go< r' �. A \

for
City of Wilson Hominy Creek Water Reclamation Facility
NPDES Permit No. NC0023906
As per NCDENR's document "DWQ Guidance Regarding the Reduction of Monitoring Frequencies in NPDES
Permits for Exceptionally Performing Facilities" dated October 22, 2012, we respectfully request that the
monitoring frequencies for BOD5, TSS, NH3-N, and Fecal Coliform be reduced to the recommended twice per week
minimum.
The City of Wilson Hominy Creek Water Reclamation Facility is an Exceptionally Performing Facility and has
demonstrated consistent, long-term treatment performance at levels far below effluent limitations (<50%) and
should be considered for a reduction in monitoring from existing permit frequencies to a 2/week minimum
frequency for BOD5, TSS, NH3-N, and Fecal Coliform. Our facility meets all of the approval criteria for this request
as outlined in the document:
• The facility has not experienced a civil penalty assessment for permit limit violations for each target
parameter during the previous three years.
• Neither the permittee, nor any of its employees, have been convicted of criminal violations of the Clean
Water Act within the previous five years.
• The facility is not currently under a SOC for target parameter effluent limit noncompliance.
• The facility is not on EPA's Quarterly Noncompliance Report for target parameter limit violations.
• For BOD5, TSS, NH3-N, and Fecal Coliform, the three year arithmetic mean of effluent data is Tess than
50% of the monthly average limit.

were: 843 cfu/100 mL on April 8, 2010 and 2,100 cfu/100 mL on April 9, 2010.
• For the four target parameters, the facility has not had more than two non -monthly average limit violations
during the previous year.
• Reduced effluent monitoring will not impair assessment of sensitive downstream uses, such as endangering
species.
All of the above referenced data has been previously submitted to NCDENR-DWQ as required via monthly DMRs.
However, if needed, the City of Wilson will submit detailed data summaries upon request. If you have questions or

RESIDUALS MANAGEMENT PLAN
HOMINY CREEK WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY
Biosolids generated at the Hominy Creek facility are stabilized to a Class B residual by
anaerobic digesters or to a Class A residual by an alkaline sludge stabilization process
prior to disposal by land application or disposal to a regional compost facility.
Anaerobically digested sludge (ADS) is pumped from the sludge holding tanks and
conveyed to two (2) belt filter presses (BFP) located in the dewatering building. Liquid
polymer feed facilities provide effective dewatering of the ADS. Dewatered sludge is
discharged from the BFP directly onto a conveyor belt and then to the sludge storage pad
or to the alkaline stabilization facility. The dewatered sludge cake has a solid
concentration of 20 to 25 percent.
Alkaline stabilization is provided in order to produce a Class A biosolids product under
the 40 CFR Part 503 sewage sludge regulations. A series of conveyors deliver the
dewatered sludge cake to the alkaline stabilization facility. Lime and supplemental heat
are added to the sludge cake in a lime -sludge blender to raise the temperature and adjust
the pH. Supplemental heat is added to boost the temperature to pasteurization levels.
Temperature is maintained at or above pasteurization temperature levels during passage
through a plug flow pasteurization vessel conveyor. Lime is stored in a 66-ton lime silo.
Dewatered and stabilized biosolids are land applied to permitted privately -owned
farmland or transported to a privately -owned composting facility. A 32,000 sq. ft.
covered storage pad provides storage for periods when solids cannot be land applied.
Granville Farms, Inc operates the City of Wilson land application program. The program
requires full time operation, normally 5 to 6 days per week and 8 to 12 hours per day.

Part B., B.3.
Plant Description
The Hominy Creek Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) is located south of the City of Wilson on
SR 1602. Plant effluent;from the facility is piped through approximately 7,700 feet of 48-inch
outfall to Contentnea Creek. The discharge point is approximately 2.5 miles downstream of the
Wiggins Mill Reservoir dam. Wastewater is conveyed to the Hominy Creek WRF by the
Hominy Swamp, Contentnea and Toisnot Swamp interceptors. Flow enters the plant through the
36-inch Hominy Swamp Interceptor, the 30-inch Contentnea Interceptor and the 20-inch force
main from the Toisnot Pump Station. A separate influent pump station at the treatment plant site
conveys wastewater from the Hominy Swamp and Contentnea Interceptors to the preliminary
treatment facilities.
As shown in Figure 1-2, the Hominy Creek WRF provides tertiary treatment, including nitrogen
and phosphorus removal, for a design capacity of 14 mgd. Raw wastewater from the off -site and
on -site pump stations receives preliminary treatment by screening and grit removal before being
conveyed to the primary clarifiers. From the primary clarifiers, flow is distributed to the
biological nutrient removal (BNR) activated sludge stage. Major process units of the BNR
activated sludge stage consist of a biological phosphorus removal (BPR) tank, seven (7) aeration
tanks, five (5) secondary clarifiers and three (3) return activated sludge (RAS) pumping stations.
Secondary clarifier effluent receives tertiary treatment in five (5) effluent filters and is then
aerated and disinfected in two (2) post aeration/chlorine contact tanks to meet DO and fecal
coliform effluent limits. The effluent is then dechlorinated at the end of the post aeration/chlorine
contact tanks to meet a total residual chlorine effluent limit, and is discharged to Contentnea
Creek through the 48-inch outfall.
The two (2) preaeration basins shown on the schematic (Figure 1-2) are no longer in service.

Part B., B.3.
The solids handling facilities for the primary and waste activated sludge consist of two (2)
gravity belt thickeners for waste activated sludge thickening, four (4) anaerobic digesters for
solids stabilization, two (2) belt filter presses for dewatering, three (3) liquid sludge holding
tanks, an alkaline sludge stabilization facility capable of producing a Class A stabilized sludge
product and a covered sludge storage pad. The Class A dewatered sludge is disposed of by land
application on privately -owned farm land. The anaerobically digested Class B sludge is land
gpplied on privately -owned farm land or taken to a privately -owned composting facility.
Existing sand drying beds are available for standby dewatering or for use when draining a
digester for cleaning.

Subject: USGS response concerning...Re: FW: requested information
Mr. Pridgen,
In response to your inquiry about the 7Q10 low -flow characteristic for Contentnea Creek downstream from Wiggins Mill Reservoir
near Wilson in Wilson County, the following information is provided:
The "most recent" low -flow information published for this area is USGS Water -Resources Investigations Report 98-4135, "Low -
flow characteristics and discharge profiles for selected streams in the Neuse River basin, North Carolina" (Weaver, 1998). This
report provides low -flow characteristics (based on data through 1996) for USGS continuous- and partial -record sites in the Neuse
River basin where sufficient data is available for analyses. However, the report does not provide statistical relations for estimating
low -flow characteristics at ungaged locations.
There is no online version of the report available, but ordering information for the report is available at
http://pubs.er. usgs.qov/usgspubs/wri/wri984135.
Contentnea Creek is one of the Neuse River tributaries for which low -flow discharge profiles were published in the above -
referenced report. Discussion concerning the low -flow characteristics for this stream and the profiles are provided in the report on
pages 50-53.
Because your point of interest is just downstream from Wiggins Mill Reservoir, the low -flow characteristics are governed by the
flow releases from this impoundment. While there is a discontinued continuous -record streamgage just downstream from dam
(station id 02090500, drainage area 237 sqmi, period of record 1930-54), no recent data has been collected at this location. Table
6 on page 21 in the report indicates the 7Q10 low -flow discharge is 0.3 cfs, based on the period of record at this streamgage.
A check of the low -flow files here at the USGS North Carolina Water Science Center indicates a previous determination for
Contentnea Creek near Black Creek (station id 02090504, drainage area 243 sqmi, at Secondary Road 1606 downstream from
your point of interest). Completed in 1981, the 7Q10 low -flow discharge was estimated at 0.5 cfs, based on a transfer of the flow
characteristics at the upstream discontinued streamgage (station id 02090500). Where no or insufficient site -specific streamflow
data is available for a low -flow analysis, the low -flow characteristics are determined by assessing the range in unit low -flow yields
(expressed as flow per square mile drainage area, or cfsm) at one or more nearby sites where low -flow statistics have previously
been determined.
In the Neuse low -flow report, the discussion indicates that no minimum release requirement was in effect at the time of publication
(1998), but "the City of Wilson maintains an open gate" that results in a minimum flow of 1.0 cfs being released downstream. I do
not have any immediate information if that has changed.
It is my "hydrologist judgment" that a reasonable and appropriate 7Q10 low -flow discharge is probably estimated at about 0.5 cfs,
based on the historical streamflow data at the upstream streamgage (station id 02090500) and the request location relative to the
impoundment. However, given there is no appreciable increase in drainage area between the dam and the point of interest, the
minimum flow at your point of interest could be based on either a required flow release from the dam (if one has been established
since the report publication) or current gate opening within the dam.
Based on the email thread noted in your previous email, I have cc:ed Ms. Julie Grzyb with the N.C. Division of Water Quality on
this message
Hope this information is helpful.
Please let me know of any questions or concerns.
Thank you.
Curtis Weaver

Curtis,
From the info below, NCDENR has indicated that you are the person I need to talk with about getting an updated 7Q10
value for the stream that we discharge into. How do I need to go about requesting that info from you? What do you
need from me? I can tell you that we discharge into Contentnea Creek here in Wilson County not far from the area
bordered by Commerce Road, Old Black Creek Road, and the relatively new US. 264 Bypass that is on the east side of
Wilson. On the map I was just looking at, looks like our discharge point is between the JA56 & JA57 Ambient
Monitoring Stations. Please let me know how to proceed.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Subject: requested information
Jimmy,
As requested, here is some information you asked for:
1) An 8-digit HUC map of the Neuse can be found in the latest basin plan on page 16. Page 20 lists what
streams are in the 10-digit HUC (smaller than 8). See DWQ/Planning/Basin/Meuse 2009 basin plan at:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ps/bpu/basin/neuse/2009
Click on Appendix VII, go to page 16.
2) To obtain revised low -flow estimates contact Curtis Weaver. See information from USGS website below:
From USGS website:http://nc.water.usgs.gov/about/faq.html#Q13
Low -flow estimates are currently handled by Curtis Weaver, icweaverOusgs.gov. There may be a charge for
some requests.
When requesting a low -flow estimate, please detail the location as precisely as you can. A map is usually very
helpful - you can fax a map to Curtis at [phone]. You can also send to Curtis a map image attached to
an email with latitude/longitude coordinates and an accompanying brief description (e.g., approximately 1,500
upstream from Secondary Road XXXX).
Low -flow estimates for several gaged locations have been published.

Basin, North Carolina
3) Please tell Jo Ellen, an explanation of how effluent hardness values will be used is given under the
DWQ/NPDES/
Hot Topic Section - Dissolved Metal to Total Metal Limit Calculators
Go to the bottom of the User Guide to: How do the Calculators Determine the Permit Limitations?
And Follow the steps: Go to Step 1 and review
Dissolved Metals and Hardness Determination will show how the combined mass balance Hardness is determined using effluent
and in -stream hardness values. The User Guide also has a "Facility Information" chart so you can determine Wilson's receiving
stream's 8-digit HUC code- 03020203, and an "8-Digit HUC Hardness" chart showing the 10`h percentile in -stream hardness
value of 16 mg/L for 8-digit HUC, 03020203. Since 25 mg/L is the lowest default hardness proposed in the regulations, 25 (not
16) will be used as the in -stream hardness value for Contentnea Creek when determining the combined mass balance hardness
for permit limit calculations once the Triennial Review standards are adopted. As I said, thousands of in -stream data points
have been gathered but if Wilson wants to add to DWQ's in -stream hardness data set - contact Cam in the DWQ, Modeling and
TMDL Unit to learn how it works.
Cam McNutt [phone]
In -stream data points collected by the City will not be used separately. They must be added to the entire 8-digit
HUC data set. However, NPDES will use the data Wilson's collects and reports for its effluent hardness.
Please tell Jo Ellen she is welcome to call me if she has any questions.
4) Lastly, according to 15A NCAC 2B. 0506 (b) (3)( J) Wilson is obligated to report effluent hardness on their
DMR's. However, I do not see any statue that would require Wilson to report in -stream hardness values.
