After discussions with the Pretreatment Unit and after reviewing DMR data, the Division has reduced monitoring for Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Cyanide, Lead, Zinc, and Silver from 2/Month to Semi -Annually. Monitoring for Nickel has been reduced to Monthly. 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.

CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised November 1995, or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is 1.6% (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). 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 March, June, September, and December. 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: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Water Quality 4401 Reedy Creek Road Raleigh, North Carolina 27607 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 Branch at the address cited above. Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, 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 may be.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.

Reasonable potential analysis on nine parameters (n = 8 data values) shows a potential to violate WQ standards only for Mercury and Silver. Therefore, a limit for Mercury has been added. Review of WETs since '93 show 18 passes and 3 lates, no failures. Therefore no limit for silver will be added since is only an Action Level and no problems with toxicity, DMRs from '95 till present show plant is operating well with no monthly average violations.

Westall Water Quality Regioupervisor William E. Anderso; Environmental Special NPDES Permit Condition ATA CDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES r --/f (p/ 75 Because of continuing, and recently more acute, problems with orphan/unpermitted sewer lines, the need for a way to deal with NPDES Permittees who do not see the problem with allowing the connection of unpermitted sewer lines to their systems has become apparent. Jill Hickey of the AG's Office suggested to Forrest that a help for the situation would be to add a permit condition requiring a WQ Permit from the Division before allowing private sewer connections. Therefore, please add the following condition to the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority Permits Numbed NC0063321 (plant 3, Cashiers), NC0039578 (plant 1, Jacicson County), and NC0020214 (plant 2, Sylva) also NC0021 47 (Franklin); and NC0021407 (Highlands). Sewer lines serving more than one building, crossing property under separate ownership, or crossing rights o'f way, shall not be made tributary to the collection system serving this facility unless a permit for the construction and operation of the tributary line has been issued by the Division of Water Quality. Addition of this condition to the NPDES "Boilerplate" seems like a good idea.

Westal Water Quality.Regio William E. Anders Environmental -Special NPDES Permit Condition upervisor Because of continuing, and recently more acute, problems with orphan/unpermitted sewer lines, the need for a way to deal with NPDES Permittees who do not see the problem with allowing the connection of unpermitted sewer lines to their systems has become apparent. Jill Hickey of the AG's Office suggested to Forrest that a help for the situation would be to add a permit condition requiring a WQ Permit from the Division before allowing private sewer connections. Therefore, please add the following condition to the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority Permits Number NC0063321 (plant 3, Cashiers), NC0039578 (plant 1, J County), and NC0020214 (plant 2, Sylva) also NC0021 and NC0021407 (Highlands). Sewer lines serving more than one building, crossing property under separate ownership, or crossing rights of way, shall not be made tributary to the collection system serving this facility unless a permit for the construction and operation of the tributary line has been issued by the Division of Water Quality. Addition of this condition to the NPDES "Boilerplate" seems like a good idea. If you have any questions, please let me know. 59 Woodfin Place, Asheville, North Carolina 28801 Telephone 704-251-6208 Fax 704-251-6452 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Part 1 Permit No. NC0021547 A(3).
