2. The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units.
3. Whole effluent toxicity shall be measured by the chronic toxicity test (Ceriodaphnia) at 1.6%.
Tests shall be conducted in March, June, September and December. See Part A. (2.) for more
details.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace
amounts.

Permit NC0021547
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 1.6%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, auarteriu 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 March, June, September and December. 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: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
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.
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.
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.

BACKGROUND
The Town of Franklin is a Class III wastewater treatment facility serving the Town of Franklin
and parts of Macon County (for a total population of 4600) as well as three significant industrial
users. The Town has a modified pretreatment program with the Division of Water Quality's
Pretreatment Unit. Over the past three years, the facility's average flow was 0.933 MGD — a
general increase in flow over time has prompted the Town to ask the Division for an expansion
of the treatment facility to 3.3 MGD. This request is being handled separately from the renewal.
This fact sheet covers the permit renewal only.
The previous permit was issued on March 13, 1998 and expired on October 31, 2002. The
Permittee applied for renewal with EPA Form 2A on July 11, 2002. The existing permit contains
limits for flow, pH, BOD, TSS, fecal coliform, total residual chlorine, mercury, and chronic
toxicity. In addition to these parameters, the Permittee is required to monitor for ammonia
nitrogen, temperature, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, cadmium, chromium, copper, cyanide,
nickel, lead, zinc, and silver.
Instream Monitoring and Verification of Existing Conditions and DMR Data Review
This facility discharges to the Little Tennessee River (classified C waters) in subbasin 04-04-01.
At the discharge location, the Little Tennessee River is not listed as an impaired stream [303 (d)-
listed as of 2002]. The Town of Franklin is not required to perform instream monitoring through
the NPDES permit.
As mentioned above, the Permittee is required to monitor flow, pH, BOD, TSS, fecal coliform,
total residual chlorine, ammonia nitrogen, temperature, total nitrogen, total phosphorus,
cadmium, chromium, copper, cyanide, nickel, lead, mercury, zinc and silver. The effluent metals
data will be discussed in the Reasonable Potential Analysis section below. Effluent temperatures
and pH appeared to be within reasonable ranges. The majority of the total residual chlorine data

were below detection level. The remaining effluent parameters are summarized in tabular form
below:

Flow, BOD, and fecal coliform data indicate levels well within the permit limits. The Permittee
appears to have periodic problems with TSS removal, and has in fact received notices of
violation and civil penalties for violations of both monthly and weekly average TSS limits (see
Correspondence section). The ammonia nitrogen levels indicate that the treatment works are
doing a good job of nitrifying, and effluent levels of ammonia are generally below 1 mg/L. The
total nitrogen and total phosphorus data appear consistent with those of a facility not specifically
designed to remove nutrients.
Correspondence
The Asheville Regional Office (ARO) has conducted five inspections since the permit's 1998
issuance. Inspection reports from 1999-2001 indicate problems with overflows in the influent
screening area. The 2002 inspection report describes the facility as well maintained and
operated; the problems at the influent screening area appear to have been fixed.
Since the permit's issuance, the Town of Franklin has received eight Notices of Violation
(NOV), three of which had civil penalties associated with them. Two related to compliance
inspections during which improper record -keeping and spill control measures were being
implemented. The NOVs for which civil penalties were assessed relate almost exclusively to
violations of the monthly and weekly TSS limits (1 BOD and 1 mercury limit were also
violated). In 2000, an NOV was issued along with a sewer line moratorium for the CR Pump
Station, at which there had been 15 spills in five and a half months. This is one of two NOVs for
collection system spills. Franklin was issued a collection system permit in early 2002; this
permit should help them prioritize their collection system needs.
PERMITTING STRATEGY
Waste Load Allocation (WLA)
The Division prepared the last WLA for the previous permit renewal in 1998. The previous and
current effluent limits were based on guidelines and water quality standards. The Division has
judged previous parameters and limits to be appropriate for renewal with some exceptions (see
Reasonable Potential Analysis).
Due to the necessary implementation of the new EPA form 2A, the Division has decided to
restore annual pollutant monitoring (APAM) for all major municipal permits. This condition
will be added to the permit, with the recommendation that the Permittee conduct this monitoring
annually in conjunction with the toxicity test.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
The Division conducted EPA -recommended analyses to determine the reasonable potential for
toxicants to be discharged by this facility, based on DMR data ranging from September 2000 to
December 2002. Calculations included parameters listed in the previous permit and pre-
treatment documents to include: arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cyanide, lead, mercury,
nickel, silver, selenium, copper, and zinc.
Results suggest no reasonable potential for the facility to discharge any of the above
parameters with the exception of mercury. Since arsenic, cadmium, cyanide, lead, selenium
and silver were never detected and are monitored through the pretreatment monitoring program,
Fact Sheet
NPE)ES NC0021547 Renewal
Page 2

these will be eliminated from the permit. Chromium will continue to be monitored semi-
annually since it was detected once but showed no reasonable potential. Copper, nickel and zinc
will all be monitored monthly since they were detected on a regular basis but showed no
reasonable potential. Mercury will be limited at 0.7 µg/L and monitored weekly.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
In keeping with Division policies, the following will be incorporated into the permit:
• Annual pollutant monitoring added
• Cadmium, cyanide, lead and silver removed from permit (will continue to be monitored
through pretreatment program)
• Increase copper and zinc to monthly monitoring due to frequent detection (currently
insufficient data to adequately assess)
New Weekly Average and Daily Maximum limits are derived from the latest NC/EPA policies
considering V2 FAVs and allowable concentrations based on reasonable potential.

Natalie,
Franklin does have a modified pretreatment program, with 3 SIUs. They are
required to monitor their influent and effluent once per quarter every 5
years for: As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Hg, Mb, Ni, Se, Zn to complete the HWA.
They did a HWA in July, 2001 so they would be sampling again in 2005. If
you want the data points from the last round let me know,
Deborah

Kevin -
Attached is the draft permit and supporting documents for the Town of
Franklin's permit renewal. I'm hoping to get it to notice next week,
but if you would like time to review it before it goes out, just let me
know. Dave decided to do the expansion request and permit renewal
separately (in the interest of backlog reduction).
Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION (attachment to NPDES Permit Application)
Present Operating Status
The treatment plant is a secondary type treatment facility utilizing the oxidation ditch
activated sludge process. The plant was originally constructed in 1964 at a rated capacity
of 750,000 gpd, and was upgraded in 1993 to the oxidation ditch facility with a rated
capacity of 1.65 mgd. The facility consists of primary screening, biological treatment in
an oxidation ditch, secondary settling, disinfection, and post aeration with effluent
discharge to the Little Tennessee River, under NPDES Permit No. 0021547. The effluent
limits are 30 mg/1 for BOD and TSS. Sludge is wasted from the oxidation ditch to an
aerobic digester for additional treatment and stabilization. Stabilized sludge from the
digester is dewatered on a belt press and the resultant dewatered sludge is disposed in the
Macon County solid waste landfill. The plant is permitted for a flow of 1.65 MGD. The
plant is located east of the Little Tennessee River just north of the Town.
Potential Facility Changes
The proposed expansion to the wastewater treatment plant to a cacpacity of 3.3 MGD
includes an influent pump station, relocation of the existing influent screens, a one
million gallon aerated flow equalization basin, an additional 1.65 mgd rated oxidation
ditch, one (1) additional secondary clarifier and return sludge pump station, expansions to
the chlorine contact basin and step aeration facility, installation of a 1.0 meter belt filter
press inside the existing belt filter press room, a 500,000 gallon aerobic digester, and an
emergency generator. This expansion is expected to occur within the next 5 years.
