Dear Mr. Martin:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the
subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. It 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.
There are two changes to this final permit from the draft permit sent to you on March 14, 2012. Flow measurement has
reverted to the old permit, with the requirement to record discharge duration in addition to the instantaneous flow rate so
that total gallons per day can be calculated. The limits on Total Aluminum have been re-evaluated and removed.
Monitoring is changed to Quarterly. The following changes have been made from the current permit:
• In accordance with our permitting strategy for Conventional Water Treatment facilities,
monitoring and limits have been removed from the permit for Settleable Solids.
• Monitoring for Total Iron and Total Aluminum has been changed to Quarterly with no limits as
a result of a review of DMRs.
• 2/ Month monitoring has been added for pH, with limits.
• Quarterly monitoring for Total Copper and Total Zinc has been added in accordance with our
permitting strategy for conventional water treatment plants.
• Monitoring for Total Residual Chlorine is changed to 2/ Month.
• Monitoring for Turbidity is changed to Monthly.

3. Parameter should be sampled in conjunction with Quarterly Toxicity Testing.
4. Chronic Toxicity (Ceriodaphnia Pass/Fail monitoring at 8%): January, April, July & October (see Part I. A. (2.)
All samples must be collected from a typical discharge event.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

Permit NC0083178
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY MONITORING (Quarterly)
The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the
"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or
subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 8%. The permit
holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the
permit condition. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, ...flak and
October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final
effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
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 TGP3B. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following
address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, N.C. 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 this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit maybe
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.

Subject: WTP Permits - ARO Comments
Jim -
Here are comments from ARO regarding the following draft permits:
DeBruhl WTP 56961
Ivy River WTP 85154
North Fork WTP 35807
Woodfln WTP 83179
All of the draft permits include the same new condition:
"A continuous recording flow meter is required in accordance with our permitting strategy. A
compliance schedule can be provided if you need some time to obtain funding, procure and
install a flow instrument. Please request one in your comments during the Draft Review period."
These facilities can accurately measure wastewater discharges into the sed basins, meter the effluent, and report
the flow onto the DMRs. Typically these are batch discharges and continuous flow recording is not applicable here.
Very few, if any of our water plants, have the ability to measure the flow on the effluent. They do however
calculate the flows entering these basins prior to discharge and all other compliance samples are collected at the
outfall.
It is the opinion of the ARO that requiring these facilities to retrofit their basins with a flow monitoring device
along with meters to record flow would be redundant and an expenditure that is unnecessary at this time.
Please let us know if any part of this needs further explanation.
Thanks,
Chuck

SUMMARY
The Woodfin Sanitary Water and Sewer District's Sugarcamp Fork WTP is a Conventional Water
Treatment Plant to treat water drawn from Sugarcamp Fork . The facility is designed to provide2.0
Million Gallons per Day of treated water. The backwash wastewater is estimated to be 0.03375 Million
Gallons per Day. The facility discharges the backwash wastewater to Reems Creek in the French Broad
River Basin.
The receiving stream (Reems Creek) is classified C, Trout waters in the French Broad River Basin. This
reach is not listed on the 2012 Draft 303(d) list. All North Carolina streams are listed as Impaired for
Mercury based on fish consumption advisories.
Permitting Strategy:
Permitting Strategy for Conventional Water Treatment Plants is followed for this facility.
Discharge Data Review and RPA
DMR data for 2009, 2010, and 2011 was reviewed. Flow averaged less than 0.050 MGD; there is no
flow limit. RPA was performed for iron and Aluminum. Iron does not show RP, so monitoring is
changed to Quarterly. Aluminum does not show RP, monitoring will be quarterly per the permitting
strategy. Monitoring for copper will be changed to quarterly too.
Whole Effluent Toxicity Testing
The facility does perform Chronic Toxicity testing using Ceriodaphnia dubia at 8%. All tests were
passed during the period reviewed (2009 - 2011). Chronic toxicity testing using Ceriodaphnia dubia at 8
% will remain in the permit per the permitting strategy.

SLUDGE MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL PLAN
Our solids management plan is quite simple. All solids come from filtration of surface
water that is being treated for potable domestic use. Solids consist of organic matter
along with iron and aluminum sulfate. Solids are allowed to settle out in our concrete
holding lagoon. The settled solids are pumped out in a slurry and trucked to a municipal
sewage treatment plant for disposal. This occurs 2-4 times per year.
