Subject: Permit Modification Correction
NPDES Permit NC0024325
North Buffalo WWTP
Guilford County
The Division issued a Final Permit dated 12 / 11 /02 for this facility, which was contested by the permittee. A
Settlement Agreement dated 1/8/04 was subsequently reached, which resulted in a permit modification dated
3/15/04 that changed the mercury limit compliance schedule from 1 / 1 /04 to 10/ 1 /04. Since the Settlement
Agreement and Permit Modification ultimately activate all other requirements of the 2002 Final Permit, we are
correcting the new permit effective date to 5/ 1 /04. By setting the effective date to the first day of a month, all
monitoring frequency requirements and limits will remain constant for the month. This corrected effective date
will also provide the necessary lead time for the permittee to schedule for additional monitoring requirements
associated with the new permit. A new Permit Cover Sheet with the corrected permit effective date is attached.
If you have any questions concerning this permit correction, please contact Tom Belnick at telephone number
[phone], extension 543.

N.C. DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT
AND NATURAL RESOURCES,
Respondent.
Respondent North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (the .
Department or NC DENR), under authority duly delegated by the Environmental Management
Commission, and Petitioner City of Greensboro (City) hereby enter into this Settlement Agreement
in order to compromise and resolve, without adjudication, matters in controversy between them
raised in these contested cases.
A. The City owns two waste water treatment plants, the, North Buffalo Waste Water
Treatment Plant located at 2199 White Street, Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina (the
North Buffalo WWTP), and the T.Z. Osborne Waste Water Treatment Plant located at 2350 Huffine
Mill Road, McLcansvillc, Guilford County, North Carolina (the Osborne WWTP). The City
operates the North Buffalo WWTP pursuant to NPDES Permit NC 0024325 and it operates the
Osborne WWTP pursuant to NPDES Permit NC0047384 (together, the Current Permits).
B. During June and July 2000, the City submitted applications to the Department seeking
renewal of the Current Permits. Under cover of two letters dated December 1 I, 2002, the Department
issued to the City renewals of the two Current Permits (the Permit Renewals).

WATER & LAND SECTION Fax:[phone] Jan 7 '04 15:56 P.03
C. The City riled Petitions for Contested Case Hearing challenging thePermitRenewals
and, pending resolution ofthe parties' disputes, the City has continued to operate the North Buffalo
WWTP and the Osborne W 4VTP pursuant to the Current Permits. The agency actions challenged in
these consolidated contested cases are the decisions by the Department to include in the Permit
Renewals certain obligations and restrictions with respect to mercury, including mercury
concentration effluent limits and sampling and analytical requirements for mercury.
NOW, IT IS THEREFORE AGREED AND CONSENTED BY THE PARTIES THAT:
1. Through this Settlement Agreement, the parties intend to and do hereby settle,
compromise, and resolve with finality and without adjudication the parties' disputes concerning the
agency actions described in Paragraphs A through C and the issues raised in the City's Petitions f
Contested Case Hearing.
2. The Permit Renewals (as originally issued by the Department in December 2002) are
hereby amended as provided in this Paragraph 2.
(a) Permit Renewal for NPDS Permit NC 0024325:
Section A(1), footnote 9 ofthe Permit Renewal is hereby deleted from the Permit Renewal
and the following new footnote 9 is added to Section A(1) of the Permit Renewal:

be analyzed by an approved low level mercury analysis method. Grab samples will
be allowed in conjunction with low level mercury analysis."
(b) Permit Renewal t r NPDES Permit NC0047384:
Section A(1), footnote 9 of the Permit Renewal is hereby deleted from the Permit Renewal,

be allowed in conjunction with low level mercury analysis."
Section A(2), footnote 9 of the Permit Renewal is hereby deleted from the Permit Renew

"The mercury limit will become effective October 1, 2004. Effluent samples must
be analyzed by an approved low level mercury analysis method. Grab samples will
be allowed in conjunction with low level mercury analysis."
3_ The City agrees to undertake weekly sampling of effluent for mercury pursuant to
Permit Renewals (as amended by this Settlement Agreement) for a period of six months, beginning
October 1, 2003 and ending March 31, 2004. The City represents that it began weekly sampling f
mercury of effluent from both WWTPs beginning October 1, 2003.
4. Except as amended by this Settlement Agreement, the Permit Renewals are effectivq
as of March 1, 2004-, and on and after that date, the City will operate the North Buffalo WWTP
the Osborne WWTP (together, the: WWTPs) pursuant to the applicable Permit Renewals as amen
in this Settlement Agreement. Promptly after the last weekly mercury analytical result is repo
for both WWTPs pursuant to Paragraph 3, the Department will perform a reasonable We
analysis for each 'WWTP separately to determine whether, based on the six months of mercury
analytical data, there is a reasonable potential for a future violation of the mercury effluent limit (the
Mercury Limit, i.e., the mercury effluent limit established in the Permit Renewals) at each WWTP
(an RP Analysis). if the RP Analysis shows there may be a reasonable potential for a future violation
of the Mercury Limit at a WWTP and if the City so requests, the Department agrees to perform a

second RP Analysis taking into account any sample field blank corrections for that W1NTP in
accordance with US EPA Method 1631, Revision E or later revision (the Second RP Analysis).
Thereafter:
(a) if the RP Analysis (or, if _ requested, the Second RP Analysis) shows ther is no
reasonable potential for a future violation of the Mercury Limit at a WWTP, the Mercury 'limit in
the Permit Renewal for that WWTP shall be deleted from the Permit Renewal and the monitoring
frequency for mercury at that WWTP shall be amended to require quarterly monitoring; and,
within
a reasonable time after the RP Analysis (or, if requested, the Second RP Analysis), the Department
shall issue a letter or other appropriate written document to the City reflecting these amendments to
the Permit Renewal for that WWTP, or
(b) if the RP Analysis (ar, if requested, the Second RP Analysis) .>•hows there is a
reasonable potential for a future violation of the Mercury Limit at a WFT 'F, the City shall be
required to continue to operate that WWTP pursuant to the applicable Permit Renewal (as amended
by this Settlement Agreement), including the Mercury Limit and weekly monitoring frequency, as
long as the Permit Renewal remains in effect, subject to the City's right to sock a future reasonable
potential analysis if the Department alters or amends the assumptions, procedures, or other
parameters or application of its reasonable potential analysis in the future.
5. Within twenty days after execution of this Settlement Agreement by all signatories,
the City shall file with the Office of Administrative Hearings a Notice of Withdrawal of the
consolidated Petitions for a Contested Case Hearing the City filed in the Office of Administrative
Hearings (i.e., 03 EHR 0084 and 03 EHR 0091), whereby the City withdraws both Petitions with
prejudice.

parameters, application, or use ofreasonable potential analysis orto seek rulemaking or pursue other
procedures to obtain changes in kw or policy (not including appeal of the Permit Renewals)
concerning the appropriate Assumptions, procedures, parameters, application, or use of reasonable
potential analysis, and (b) request a reasonable potential analysis in the future for the Mercury Limit
or other limits in the Permit Renewals if, in the future, the Department changes (or rulemaking or
other law requires a change in) the Department's assumptions, procedures, parameters, application,
or use of reasonable potential analysis.
7. This Settlement Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties, and there
are no representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings other than those expressed and set forth
herein. The agreements, statements, and covenants in this Settlement Agreement are made solely
for the purpose of settling this matter amicably without farther litigation.
