Town of Jonesville WTP
Yadkin County
Dear Mr. Bufflcin:
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 the Memorandum of Agreement
between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended).
This final permit includes changes to a number of its terms from those found in the draft permit sent to
you on July 1, 2013. Changes include:
• Monitoring frequencies for Flow, Total Suspended Solids, pH and Turbidity have been changed
from 2/month to episodic based upon the infrequent and intermittent occurrence of a discharge.
• Monitoring for Total Residual Chlorine has been removed from the permit because discharge will
occur from a point in the process prior to any addition of chlorine to the water being treated.
• The quarterly monitoring schedule for monitoring of whole effluent toxicity (and associated
parameters) has been changed to the months of January, April, July and October.
• An effective date of November 1, 2013 has been established for this permit in order to synchronize
its permit cycle with those for other discharges within the subbasin.
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.

Permit NC0089389
A. (2.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL MONITORING (QUARTERLY)
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the
North Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity
In A Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised December 2010 or subsequent versions). The monitoring
shall be performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 48 hour static test. The effluent concentration at which
there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the procedure
document). Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained during representative
effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The tests will be performed during the months of
January, April, July and October. These months signify the first month of each three month toxicity
testing quarter assigned to the facility.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGA3B. Additionally, DWR Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no
later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the
report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted
to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then
monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test
requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements 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.
Should it be determined by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources that the facility's
discharge frequency and duration enable chronic sampling according to either the North Carolina
Ceriodaphnia Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Procedure or to Section 8.3, in Methods EPA-821-R-
02-013, the permit may be re -opened and modified to include chronic toxicity tests.

A. (2.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL MONITORING (QUARTERLY), continued
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT
Forms submitted.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival 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.

Comments received on Draft Permit?
Yes, see below
This is a new permit for discharge of minimally treated water that is deemed unsuitable for further processing
within the potable water treatment system. Rather than having water that is shown to be out of preferred ranges
for turbidity or pH continue to be treated, the WTP would rather eliminate it from the process through discharge
to a storm drain. The discharge would be of raw water that has been drawn from the Yadkin River and placed in
the facility's reservoir. The water will have had initial alum addition and processing through microsand
enhanced flocculation units. If the water at this stage of the process doesn't meet the Town's standards, it will
be discharged. The Town can determine the water's suitability before additional treatment chemicals are added.
Other wastewater from the WTP (filter backwash, basin cleaning, etc.) is sent to the municipal sewer system.
The proposed discharge would be 14,000 — 28,000 gallons per event (the volume of the basin(s) containing the
water). Such discharge events are forecast to be infrequent, perhaps once or twice per month.
The permit was originally drafted with monitoring frequencies derived from NPDES guidance regarding
conventional WTP discharges. After speaking with WTP staff about the episodic nature of the discharge, the
monitoring frequencies for flow, TSS, pH and turbidity were changed from 2/month to episodic. Other
parameter monitoring remained at quarterly. This change better reflects the nature of the discharge and will
reduce chances of monitoring or reporting violations incorrectly appearing in BIMS. The Town also requested
that the toxicity condition be changed to call for monitoring within a calendar quarter rather than during a
particular month. ATU was contacted about this. Its recommendation was that the tox condition language
remain as it was drafted. Because it is a monitoring only condition there is less concern about ensuring a
monitoring event is reported each quarter. If no discharge occurs during the specified month, the facility is to
report "No Flow" or "No Discharge" on the DMR and on an AT form downloaded from ATU's website. No
additional WET monitoring will be required until the next designated reporting month occurs.

8. Describe the wastewater and the treatment process(es) for wastewater generated by the
facility:
Wasted water from the process is generally removed by hydrocyclone where sand is
returned to the process. Backwash is also added to the thickeners when run time fdor the
filters has elapsed. Both of the above are pumped through a 3" pvc line into the Yadkin
Sewer Authority's System. The proposed reason for an NPDES permit is to allow for
discharge water which has been through the coag/floc/and sedimentation and is deemed
unfilterable (pin floc that won't settled due to poor water destabilization) or is not desired
to allow this water to go on to the clearwell where it would be used as potable.

Attachment 3
Supplemental Information For
Jonesville WTP NPDES Permit Application
An email was received from Mrs. Julie Grzyb of NC DENR requesting relevant
supplemental information regarding the water proposed for discharge. The email is
appended to this attachment for reference. Below is a response to the best of the
engineers knowledge to each question/request in the order they were received.
1 The determination to divert water from the filter and discharge is to be made
by the chief operator based on the following parameters:
a. If the floc that is formed during coagulation/flocculation does not settle in
the tube settlers (located at the end of the microsand enhanced flocculation
(MEF) unit). This is determined by visual observation and can normally
range in Turbidity from 4-6 NTU. This is indicative of poor water
destabilization due to a low dose of coagulant of polymer or a correct dose
of coagulant or polymer which has been contaminated due to age or
dilution.
b. If the chemical feed pumps were not engaged when the influent water was
initiated to the units. This results in simply raw water being sent to the
storm sewer and eventually back to the Yadkin River through an unnamed
tributary.
c. If Caustic Soda or Sulfuric Acid is over dosed and the pH is outside the
range of 6.4-6.8 the treatment unit will not perform as designed. In this
event, acid or base is to be added to neutralize the water to a pH between
6.5-7.5 prior to discharge.
2 Treatment chemicals that may be used on the water are listed below. For
dosing ranges please see Attachment #2 — Flow Schematic.
a. Alum
b. Caustic Soda
c. Sulfuric Acid
d. Cationic Polymer
e. PAC
f. Chlorine — Chlorinated water (those with a free residual of Chlorine are
NOT to be discharged prior to dechlorination.
3 The maximum amount of water that would be required to be discharged would
be if the plant were running both MEF units and they were full.
Each unit can hold as much as 14,000 gallons. A total amount that would be
discharged would not exceed 28,000gallons.

4 The worst case scenario was seen during testing of the plant before placing on
line in which one unit was dumped twice in the month of January. This would
amount to two events with as much as 28,000 gallons each event.
5 The plant does not measure TDS, TSS, SS or conductivity. If these are
required we will begin to sample and send to a lab. It is assumed that if a TSS
limit is imposed in the permit it is understood these measurement will be
made and reported as required. The measurement that a water treatment plant
makes on the water is Turbidity (1.3-6), pH (6.5-7.5), Aluminum would be a
maximum of 60 mg/L as Al2(SO4)3.
6 pH adjustment has been discussed previously in Item lc. If TSS or Turbidity
limits cannot be met (which is extremely unlikely due to the influent water
quality, it is understood that pretreatment would be required.
7 A 7Q10 was not available for the receiving stream, an unnamed tributary for
the Yadkin River, west of NC HWY 67. The stream is shown on the USGS
Quad presented as Attachment #1 in the upper left corner. Please note the
discharge point is at the site labeled "Filtration Plant".
8 An Engineering Alternatives Analysis is provided with the NPDES permit
application package.
Please call or email if there are any questions, concerns, or need for further
information.

Subject: Town of Jonesville's WTP
Steve,
Regarding the possible discharge from the Town of Jonesville's Water Treatment Plant - below is the
link to get to the NPDES application for "emergency" discharges from the raw water reservior at the
Water Treatment Plant (WTP) should the color or pin floc in the raw water appear to be unacceptable.
Predicted discharges could occur as often as 1/month so the term emergency pertains to the valve
installation name more than the discharge description. Currently, wastewaters from WTP backwash,
settling, etc. are all discharged to the Town's WWTP.
Just click on the NC Form. NC Form C-WTP: Water Treatment Plant (All Types)
Or, you can also get to it fron the NC DWQ home webpage by clicking on Surface Water, than NPDES
wastewater, than Permit Applications on the left side. The link to the WTP form is listed on the bottom
of the page.
The form is simple and you should include the following information either in a letter or an attachment
so we can process the permit.
1) What determines the need to divert the water from the filters. Be specific, what test is run
(color, TOC, TSS, tubidity) and at what range would the water be diverted back to the stream.
2) Be clear on what treatment and chemicals are used on the raw water prior to its possible
division from the filters.
3) Is there an estimated volume that would likely be discharged. Or what could be the max
volume -The capacity of the raw water reservior?
4) How often does the Town expect to divert the water back to the stream (best estimate?)?
5) Provide samples on the water quality going to the filter (but prior to filtration). Interested in
levels of total suspended solids, turbidity, Aluminum, and pH. If the facility has any information
on total dissolved solids, settlable solids, or conductivity that would be useful as well.
6) Since the facility adds caustic, a coagulant (alum) and sand to the raw water prior to filtration it
is likely the limits on the diverted water would be
pH: 6.0 — 9.0 and TSS: 30 mg/L monthly average and 45 mg/L daily max. If the diverted water
quality varies to the extent that these limits could be violated the Town should plan to install
whatever treatment facilities are necessary to assure compliance( pH adjustment, settling
pond). This should be addressed in or with the application submittal.
7) The application does ask for receiving stream information. Please provide a map showing the
WTP intake and the planned discharge point or outfall if the water is diverted. Information on
the receiving stream's summer 7Q10 would be useful.
8) An Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) should be submitted along with the NPDES
application to see if any other practical alternatives exist for the disposal of this wastewater.
EAA guidance can be found under the Permit Applications website at the top. Link: Engineering
Alternatives Analysis (EAA)
Note, submission of an application does not guarantee the facility will be issued a permit for this
diversion. However, it is recognized that the NPDES Permitting Unit received concurrence from the
Winston-Salem Regional Office that the Town go ahead and install the emergency valve in the
system as long as it is locked and can not be used until a permit is obtained. We understand that to
proceed with WTP improvements, that it was cost effective for the Town to make an immediate

obtained.

Step 1 Determination if Proposed Discharge will be allowed.
Communication was established between the NC DENR DWQ and USGS NC
Water Science Center prior to filing of application to determine likelihood of proposed
discharge allowance. The discharge is to be only performed if there is a failure in the
treatment train by the over or under dosing of one of the primary treatment chemicals
resulting in water that is not suitable for filtration to the potable water clearwell.
Step 2 Projections of Population and Flow
The current water treatment plant was recently upgraded to a 1 MGD permitted
capacity for potable drinking water. The new process wastes sludge and backwash water
to a thickener which decants to the Yadkin Sewer Authority. The NPDES permit
requested would be for specific events of treatment train failure where the water in the
treatment units would be discharged to the storm sewer prior to filtration.
The amounts of water would be from 14-28,000 gallons depending on the number of
units which are filled. There are a total of two units with a maximum capacity of 14,000
gallons each.
Step 3 Technologically Feasible Alternatives
Alternative A Connection to an existing Wastewater
Treatment System
The closest connection point to an existing wastewater treatment system is
approximately 0.5 miles along Shaw Street in Jonesville. Due to the elevation
differences a pump station, wet well and force main would be required. The total
estimated cost for this alternative would be in excess of $100,000. The Town of
Jonesville has invested $4M by borrowing money to upgrade a plant originally built in
1959. The cost of this alternative makes the project infeasible although technically
possible. There is also the fact that the Yadkin Sewer Authority has already been
promised a flow rate for the new plant and likely would not grant any more capacity
especially one that would have a BOD value near zero.
Alternative B Reuse
A reservoir could be built to hold the water until such time as it could be used for
irrigation. Due to the Plant's elevation and limited allotment of space at the lower
elevation, land would be required to be purchased. A reservoir if built could hold the
water until a use could be found. Unfortunately there are no golf courses or similarly
compatible businesses in the proximity of the Jonesville Water Treatment Plant. To give

an exact cost on a reuse project is difficult without identifying the location to which the
water would be pumped. It is logical to compare it with Alternative A, above, in that a
wet well or basin would be required and a certain amount of line work (4-6" PVC) would
be necessary.
Alternative C Discharge to Storm Sewer
The final alternative considered is connection to the proximate storm sewer.
After approval from the local Winston-Salem office for discharge during the initial
testing and start up of the plant, it was realized that this was a very good solution which
allowed for discharge of non -filterable water prior to this water being sent to the filters.
The cost for this work is attached and shown as Item A in the contractor's application of
a change order for this work. The amount of $6, 232 was paid to install this equipment
with the understanding that it would not be used until the details had been resolved and a
permit issued with limits which must be followed regarding the content of the discharge.
Comparison of Alternatives and Conclusions
The cost of Alternative C was very small in comparison to Alternatives A and B.
However, because cost is not necessarily the driving factor in decision making, other
issues were considered. The implementation of the various alternatives also lends to the
notion that Alternative C is the best option. The possible failures associated with each
were considered. If a pump station were incorporated, there is always the chance of
pump failure. With gravity flow, which would be present in Alternative C, pump failure
is not a possibility. In conclusion, Alternative C was chosen as the best solution to allow
for diversion of water prior to filtration.
