Page 5 Permit No. NC0021253 A. (5.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90 %. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Branch 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above. Page 6 Permit No. NC0021253 Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting ate data submitted on the DMR & all AT Forms submitted. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Jackson Dr., Havelock, NC 28532 Permitted Flow (MGD): 1.9 Type of Waste: 100 % Domestic Facility Classification: IV Permit Status: Renewal County: Craven Miscellaneous Receiving Stream: East Prong Slocum Creek Regional Office: WaRO Stream Classification: C-SW NSW State Grid / USGS Quad: H31NW/Havelock 303(d) Listed? No Permit Writer: Sergei Chernikov Basin/Subbasin: Neuse/03-04-10 Date: 02/07/08 Drainage Area (mi2): ...:.• Lat. 35° 53' 20" N Long. 76° 54' 30" W Summer 7Q10 (cfs) 0 (Tidal) Winter 7Q10 (cfs): 30Q2 (cfs) Average Flow (cfs): IWC (%): 100 SUMMARY Havelock WWTP receives domestic wastewater from the City of Havelock, and serves - 14,000 local residents. No major changes have occurred at the treatment plant since the last permit renewal. The receiving stream can't support any increase in the discharge due to the poor water quality conditions and lack of assimilative capacity. The City was advised by DWQ that any expansions above 1.9 MGD would require a relocation of the discharge to the Neuse Rive. INSTREAM MONITORING This facility is a member of the Lower Neuse Basin Association. Due to the absence of the upstream monitoring station on the Slocum Creek it is difficult to evaluate effect of the facility on the receiving stream. RPA Reasonable potential analyses (RPA) were conducted for Cu, Ni, and Zn. Please see attached. Fact Sheet NPDES NC0021253 Renewal Page 1 TOXICITY TESTING Chronic P/F @ 90% at 1.9 MGD using Ceriodaphnia. No change to the toxicity testing condition is recommended at this time. The facility passed all whole effluent toxicity (WET) tests for the period of review (2004 — 2008) except July 2005. The subsequent test passed. COMPLIANCE SUMMARY A review of the facilities compliance data indicates mixed performance. There were four NOVs issued during the review period (2003-2008): 01/25/08- NH3 and TP, 09/13/05 — Tox. test, 07/06/04 — flow, 08/21/03 — flow. 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 (T 15A 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 maybe 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 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. Under the new rule, the Town receives a TN Load limit of 21,400 lb./yr., a calendar year limit. This limit will be calculated annually. In addition to this limit, the Permittee will be required to report total monthly flow, total Kjeldahl nitrogen and the sum of nitrate and nitrite in addition to the existing requirement to report monthly total nitrogen concentrations and loads. The Town is a member of the Neuse River Compliance Association at this time. So 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, issued December 30, 2002.

The residual solids will be applied to row crops, coastal bermuda and fescue for hay production at agronomic rates for total or partial replacement of conventional nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilizers. The actual amount of residual solids applied will be dependent . upon the nutrient requirement of the specific crop and the nutrient content of the residual. solids. Residual solids application scheduling will ,be dependent upon residual solids production, storage at the respective treatment plant, and the crop management program. On fields utilized for hay production, residual solids will be applied in split applications as is normally done when conventional fertilizers are applied to hay land. These applications will correspond prior to grass growth in the spring, after each cutting in the growing season, or whenever most appropriate. On fields utilized for row crops, residual solids will be land applied between crop rotations. The fields will receive residual solids in an agronomic manner based on requirements listed in the permit. Residual solids will be applied at agronomic rates which are limited by nitrogen loading rates. An acceptable pH will be maintained in the soil, residual and lime mixture greater than 6.0 on all land application sites with mineral soils to insure optimum yield for the crop being grown. Prior to an application event, an application rate will be determined based on a current residual solids nutrient analysis. Representative residual solids samples will be collected prior to the haul period and composited for analysis. This composite sample will then be delivered to a qualified laboratory familiar with residual solids analysis and analyzed for ammonia nitrogen, nitrate/nitrite nitrogen, percent total solids, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, arsenic, mercury, selenium, molybdenum, chromium, copper, zinc, cadmium, nickel, lead, aluminum, and pH. Plant available nitrogen (PAN) will then be calculated from this residual solids analysis. This information will be used to calculate the loading rate for the field and crop. Once the appropriate application rate has been calculated, the residual solids will be removed from the respective treatment plant and transported to the site in leak proof tankers adapted for liquid residual solids. Tankers will then travel major traffic routes to the fields whenever possible. Once at. the field, the tankers will proceed to a designated staging area. The liquid residual solids will then be transferred to a residual solids applicator designed and operated to obtain an even application consistent with agricultural requirements. All residual solids will be removed from the staging area by the end of the • working day, unless equipment breakdown or weather prohibits the residual solids application. At the start of each day? all fields will be inspected by the field superintendent. Equipment will only enter a field when conditions are appropriate for the application. Residual solids will only be applied when the field is capable of supporting equipment. When field conditions are not appropriate for an application, such as during wet periods, the residual solids will remain at the WRF until field conditions are suitable for land application. Prior to the residual solids operations, the field superintendent and appropriate Havelock personnel will inspect the site. During the field inspection, the field superintendent will note the standard North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) buffer zones including: homes, drainage ditches, roads, wells, surface water, and property boundaries (listed in Table 1). On the basis of these standard DWQ buffers for land application programs, buffers will be established in the field. These buffers will be identified in the field by the placement of pin flags.

Description of Plant Facilities Wastewater from the City of Havelock's service area is collected and delivered to the Havelock Wastewater Treatment Plant by the wastewater collection system. The treatment plant provides tertiary treatment of the wastewater using the activated sludge process followed by denitrification filters. The activated sludge process at the Havelock WWTP operates in the single -stage nitrification mode. After activated sludge treatment and filtration, the plant effluent is disinfected by ultraviolet light before discharge to the East Prong of Slocum Creek. Solids treatment is by lime stabilization followed by land application of stabilized solids to agricultural land. Figure 1-1 shows a layout plan of the treatment facilities at the Havelock WWTP. A process flow schematic for the Havelock Plant is shown on Figure 1-2. Wastewater from the collection system enters the treatment plant through a 15- inch gravity interceptor sewer and an 8-inch force main. The influent wastewater is combined in a manhole before entering a bar screen and grit collector. A second bar screen is provided for standby use as a backup to the main bar screen and grit collector. The bar screen removes rags, sticks, large organic particles and other large objects to prevent clogging and interference with operation of downstream pumps and other process equipment. The grit collector removes heavy inorganics, such as sand, gravel, and other heavy materials that have settling velocities significantly greater than those of organic solids. Grit is removed to prevent excessive wear- on downstream pumps and other process equipment and to prevent grit accumulations in process tankage. After grit removal, the influent wastewater flows to two influent. pump stations. The two influent pump stations lift the influent wastewater to an elevation from which it can flow by gravity to the first -stage and second -stage aeration basins. Return activated sludge (RAS) is combined with the influent wastewater prior to HAVELOCKIO&M.1 1-2 pumping to the aeration basins. The aeration basin influent is pumped to a distribution box, which distributes the flow equally to the two first -stage aeration basins. The first -stage aeration basin effluent flows by gravity to the three second -stage aeration basins. The first -stage aeration basins have fine bubble diffused air aeration systems and the second -stage aeration basins have coarse bubble diffused air aeration systems. The aeration systems provide the dissolved oxygen and mixing necessary for the activated sludge process. Biological activity in the aeration basins provides removal of BODS and provides complete nitrification, which is the conversion of ammonia nitrogen to nitrate nitrogen. The aeration basin effluent, or mixed liquor, flows to the Final Clarifier Pumping Station for pumping to the Final Clarifier Distribution Box. The Final Clarifier Pumping Station lifts the aeration basin effluent to an elevation at which it can flow by gravity through the rest of the plant process units. The Final Clarifier Distribution Box splits the flow equally between the two final clarifiers. The activated sludge mixed liquor solids settle in the final clarifiers and are removed for return to the aeration basins by the influent pumps or for wasting to the solids treatment process. RAS and waste activated sludge (WAS) control stations are provided for flow measurement and manual control of RAS and WAS flow rates. The clear liquid above the settling solids overflows the final clarifier effluent weirs and flows to the denitrification filters. The three denitrification filters provide tertiary treatment, which is the removal of the fine solids not removed by the final clarifiers. The filters have a layer of sand media for filtration and also provide nitrogen removal by denitrification, which is the conversion of nitrate nitrogen to nitrogen gas. The nitrogen gas is released harmlessly to the atmosphere, and the effluent total nitrogen is reduced accordingly. Methanol is added to the filters as a food source for the organisms in the filter beds that accomplish denitrification. The filters are backwashed periodically to remove excess or filtered solids, and the backwash water is HAVELOCKIO&M.I 1-3 returned to the influent pump stations. Air scour facilities are provided for backwashing and the air is provided by two blowers, one of which is also used for aeration of the Stabilized Solids Holding Basin. Denitrification filter effluent flows to the ultraviolet (UV) disinfection facilities, which consist of one channel with two banks of UV lamps suspended in the wastewater. The UV lamps provide disinfection' by the germicidal effect of the ultraviolet light. After disinfection, the plant effluent flows to the Reaeration Basin to allow increasing the plant effluent dissolved oxygen to meet the dissolved oxygen concentration limit in the plant's NPDES permit. Two surface aerators in the Reaeration Basin introduce oxygen into the plant effluent. The Reaeration Basin also provides a source of backwash water for the denitrification filters. Two filter backwash supply pumps are provided in the Reaeration Basin. The plant effluent then flows through a Parshall flume for flow measurement prior to discharge to the East Prong of Slocum Creek. Waste activated sludge from the final clarifiers flows to the Waste Solids Holding Tank for short-term storage. WAS is then pumped by two submersible pumps in the Waste Solids Holding Tank to two gravity belt thickeners. The gravity belt thickeners increase the solids concentration of the WAS to reduce the volume requirements for stabilization, storage, and ultimate disposal. Polymer is added to the solids feed to the thickeners to improve solids capture and provide effective. - solids thickening. The thickened solids are pumped to the Solids Stabilization Tank, where the solids are mixed with a lime slurry for stabilization by the high pH of the lime -solids mixture. A silo is provided for storage of the lime used for solids stabilization. The stabilized solids are pumped to the Stabilized Solids Holding Basin for storage HAVELOCKtO&M.I 1-4 • prior to land application. The Stabilized Solids Holding Basin provides either short- term storage or Tong -term storage when solids cannot be applied to land for extended time periods. A coarse bubble aeration system is provided for aeration and mixing of the Stabilized Solids Holding Basin to prevent odors and to keep the stabilized solids in suspension. Air for the coarse bubble aeration system is provided by one of the air scour blowers for the denitrification filters. The stabilized solids are disposed of by land application to permitted farm land. Currently, approximately 310 acres are permitted for land application. 2.
