The ,
following parameters should be monitored: temp., DO, cond., and fecal
coliform. It is recommended the discharge be removed as soon as an
alternate method of waste disposal can be found, as per current
Divisional procedures for discharges to 7Q10/30Q2=0 flow streams.
Instream monitoring requirements may be dropped when the facility agrees,
in writing, to a schedule for removal of their point source discharge.

FROM: Juan C. Mangles
THROUGH: Carla Sanderson
Tom Stockton-1;5
Trevor Clements16; `k0°
SUBJECT: Instream Monitoring
Bethany School
NPDES Permit No. NC0037001
Rockingham County
A wasteload allocation request for the subject facility has been received in
this office. During the preparation of the WLA it was noticed that this facility
is not performing instream monitoring as required by the current permit. The
renewed permit will contain a new set of instream monitoring requirements.
It is recommended that the Winston-Salem Regional Office work with the permit -
tee in complying with the terms and conditions contained in the permit. Also,
based on current Divisional procedures for 7Q10/30Q2 = 0 flow streams, it is
recommended that this facility be removed as soon as an alternate method of waste
disposal can be found.

Dear Mr Smith:
Subject: Chlorine Toxicity
Bethany Elementary
NPDES Permit No. NC0037001
Rockingham County
Chlorine, a widely used wastewater disinfectant for the treatment of
coliform organisms, often remains instream in residual amounts that may prove
t o be toxic under critical low stream flow conditions. In the last decade,
EPA assessed the potential adverse effects of chlorine to the aquatic envi-
ronment and has taken steps to reduce the impacts through the development of
f ederal criteria In 1986, EPA recommended that all states have a chlorine
standard by their next triennial review of water quality standards.
In revising its water quality standards in 1989, North Carolina devel-
o ped an action level for chlorine of 17 ug/1 (freshwater classes only). In
addition, the fecal coliform limit was reduced from 1000 colonies/100 ml to
200 colonies/ 100 ml. Under a new DEM procedure, dechlorination and chlorine
limits are now recommended for all new or expanding dischargers proposing the
use of chlorine for effluent disinfection. The Division is reviewing chlo-
✓ ine levels from all existing dischargers as part of their NPDES permit
✓ enewal process.
Our records indicate that chlorine from your facility's effluent dis-
charge is considered toxic to the receiving stream under low flow conditions,
i e., the amount of chlorine discharged causes a violation of the instream
action level for chlorine (17 ug/1) under 7Q10 conditions (the lowest average
flow for seven (7) consecutive days during a ten (10) year period) . Action
should be taken to reduce the effluent concentration of chlorine to an
acceptable level Based on your facility's instream waste concentration of
100 %, an acceptable level of chlorine in your effluent is 17 ug/1 If this
level is not feasible, you should consider dechlorination or alternate meth-
o ds of disinfection for your facility to ensure that both chlorine and bacte-
✓ ial limits are met. In addition, if your facility plans to undertake any
phase of construction, dechlorination or alternate disinfection should be
included. However, please note that an authorization to construct must be
o btained from this Division prior to any alteration to your treatment plant.
The Division is currently reviewing its water quality regulations per-
taining to chlorine. In the future, effluent limits and/or dechlorination

may be required of existing facility's with chlorine problems. If the chlo-
rine levels in your facility's effluent remain unchanged, a chlorine limit or
a whole effluent toxicity testing requirement may be added to your permit
limitations.
Please feel free to call Mr. Steve Mauney of the Division's Regional
Office at [phone], if you have any questions or comments regarding
this issue.
