full Fact Sheets. Expedited permits are generally simple 100% domestics (e.g., schools, mobile
home parks, etc) that can be administratively renewed with minor changes, but can include
facilities with more complex issues (Special Conditions, 303(d) listed water, toxicity testing,
instream monitoring, compliance concerns).

continue to be evaluated. If there is noncompliance with permitted effluent limits and
stream impairment can be attributed to your facility, then mitigative measures may be
required".
• TRC language for Compliance Level for Cover Letters/Effluent Sheet Footnote:
"The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 µg/L to be in

NC0025526
Town of Walnut Cove WWTP
The existing permit does not require analysis of the effluent for dissolved oxygen; however the
facility has been reporting DO data on its DMRs. It is not being entered into BIMS. The facility
is required by its permit to measure the DO in Town Fork Creek upstream and downstream of
the discharge.
Visual examination of the DMRs from 2010 and 2011 indicates the effluent DO concentration
can be very low (at times < 3.0 mg/L) during the summer. This may have more to do with the
design of the system than its performance efficiency. The WWTP's main treatment is provided
by lagoons and constructed wetlands. No aeration of the effluent is provided prior to discharge
to the stream. The DMRs show expected seasonal variation of the DO content within Town Fork
Creek. Downstream DO (300 feet below the discharge) does appear to be retarded by the
discharge, but rarely did the data show values below 5.0 mg/L. Modeling data within the file
indicate the stream can accommodate the loading from the WWTP at the permitted levels. The
DO sag is lowest about 3 miles downstream of the WWTP; it then recovers prior to the creek's
confluence with the Dan River.

Gentlemen,
I was just about to go through the motions of standard renewal of this permit (we've got it in the expedited category),
but as I looked at the file I noticed WSRO has had long-standing concerns about this facility's operations, performance
and structural integrity. Are there any special conditions you'd like for me to put in the new permit that may compel
them to address those issues? Or did they take steps to improve the facility since the time of the last inspection?
Thanks for any input you can provide.
