Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit 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 May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended). The permit authorizes the City of Hendersonville to discharge up to 4.8 MGD (6.0 MGD upon expansion) of treated wastewater from the Hendersonville WWTP to Mud Creek, a class C water in the French Broad River Basin. The permit includes discharge limitations /or monitoring for flow, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), ammonia, total suspended solids ('FSS), dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform bacteria, total residual chlorine, lead, copper, zinc, dieldrin, heptachlor and chronic toxicity. The following modifications have been made in this permit: • The addition of summer and winter weekly average limits for NH3. This is done to concur with the Code of Federal Regulations [40 CFR 122.45 (d)]. The summer and winter weekly average NH3 limits at 4.8 and 6.0 MGD will be 6.0 mg/land 12.0 mg/1, respectively. • The results of the priority pollutant analyses submitted by your facility detected the presence of several pesticides. Dieldrin and heptachlor were among those present in three 2004 effluent pollutant scans. Limits for these parameters will become effective 18 months from the effective date of the final permit. If within the 18 months, Hendersonville can demonstrate that N car. in /aturat North Carolina Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Phone (919) 733-7015 Customer Service Internet: www.ncwaterquality.org Location: 512 N.

CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY) —4.8 MGD The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 18%. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly 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 February, May, August and November. 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 -oh 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 Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 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, 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 Section 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.

Actual draft permit that goes to notice may vary just a little, it has not been peer reviewed by an EEII as yet. 1. Note the inclusion of a TRC for 28 ug/1, that will become effective 18 months after the the issuance of the permit. 2. Previous permit gave them 80% removal for BOD5 and TSS due to I&I problems and SOC stipulations. This condition will be removed since facility seems to be at 95% removal for these parameters now and SOC no longer in effect. The Town has said that they will ask that 80% removal remain in the permit. I told David Smith of the Town that my data review for the last 2 years shows that they no longer need it. Any input from the region on this issue? 3. Previous limits for cyanide, cadmium, mercury and nickel will be dropped in this permit. My analysis showed no reasonable potential to exceed wq standards. Should continue to monitor quarterly for these parameters in the pretreatment LTMP. Let me know if any comments. Will send this permit to notice on March 1.

Since the last renewal the Hendersonville WWTP has upgraded to a design flow of 4.8 MGD, with future plans to expand to 6.0 MGD. The plant discharges into Mud Creek, a class C water in the FRB02 subbasin. The WWTP serves approximately 11,700 persons in the City of Hendersonville and the Town of Laurel Park. The Authorization to Construct permit for 4.8 MGD was issued in June 1999 with a modification for additional equipment in May 2001. Construction to 4.8 MGD was completed in March 2002. The construction included the relocation of the outfall further downstream of the previous discharge point, which resulted in a larger drainage area and a higher 7Q10 flow. Oxygen consuming limits for BOD5 = 10 mg/L (summer): 20 mg/L (winter), NH3 = 2 mg/1 (summer): 4 mg/L (winter), and Dissolved oxygen= 5 mg/1 were assigned upon the expansion to 4.8 MGD. The same limits will be applied at 6.0 MGD. Hendersonville currently has an active pretreatment program with Long Term Monitoring Plan. There is one non- categorical SIU and two CIUs. The pretreatment program is compliant and it is recommended that the full pretreatment program be continued in the upcoming permitting cycle. RECEIVING STREAM INFORMATION Mud Creek is listed on the North Carolina 2003 303d list of impaired streams. The stream has a fair or poor bioclassification at several DWQ monitoring sites and is impaired due to habitat degradation from point and nonpoint sources of pollution. The upgrade and expansion of the Hendersonville WWTP is now producing higher quality effluent discharging into the stream. Several water quality initiatives and management strategies have been introduced to improve Mud Creek. Faci Shoot. NPDES VCOO25S34 RLll wal TOXICITY TESTING Current Requirement: Chronic Toxicity P/F @ 18 %: FEB MAY AUG NOV Upon expansion to 6.0 MGD: Chronic Toxicity P/F C@ 21 %: FEB MAY AUG NOV The Hendersonville WWTP has a very good toxicity testing record. All toxicity tests from February 2001 to October 2005 have been passed. COMPLIANCE SUMMARY Overall compliance with existing limits is very good. Permit limit violations have occurred infrequently. 2003: Flow violation in May (NOV issued), Fecal coliform in September 2004: Flow violation in September (due to Hurricanes Frances and Ivan). Total Lead violations in July and August (NOV issued) INSTREAM MONITORING Upstream Site: Above the outfall; Downstream site: At NCSR 1365 A review of instream data during the critical months of April through October 2004 and 2005/ showed that overall water quality. Instream DO values are generally well above the water quality standard of 5 mg/1 upstream and downstream of the Hendersonville WWTP. Instream fecal coliform counts are often above the 200/100 mL monthly average, both upstream and downstream of the WWTP. During a period from June through August 2005, upstream fecal values ranged from 1450 to 1911 / 100m1. Corresponding downstream fecal values ranged from 700 to 940/ 100m1. It is recommended that instream monitoring be continued at the existing frequency. REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS : A reasonable potential analysis (RPA) was performed for all monitored metals. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) from January 2004 to October 2005 were reviewed for evaluation of this facility. In addition, Priority Pollutant Analysis data submitted from February, May, and August 2004 was reviewed. The results for the existing metals at 4.8 MGD and 6.0 MGD are summarized in the table below. Table 1: Results of Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for City of Hendersonville. A check next to the metal indicates that reasonable potential exists. DceRo tmafien�i? Parameter Qw = 4.8 MGD gw = 6.0 MGD Cadmium Chromium Lead 4 ,J Copper 4 4 Nickel Silver Zinc 4 4 Cyanide Mercury Selenium The existing NPDES permit limits are: Cadmium, Cyanide, Mercury, Selenium, and Lead Also includes effluent monitoring for copper, zinc, and silver. See attached RPA results. • The analysis of the following parameter did show reasonable potential to exceed both the acute and chronic allowable concentrations. The maximum predicted concentration was greater than the allowables and therefore the weekly average and a daily maximum limits will remain in the NPDES permit at both wasteflows: Lead • The analysis of the following parameters did show reasonable potential to exceed the NC action level. Per NCDWQ procedure, no limit will be recommended and since there are Fact Sheol. NPDES `C0O25S34 Rci ;.a1 1'agc 2 no chronic toxicity problems, it is recommended that 2/month monitoring be continued for these parameters: Copper and zinc. • The analysis of the following parameters did not show reasonable potential to exceed the acute or the chronic allowable concentrations. The maximum predicted concentrations were less than the allowable and therefore no limit or monitoring in the NPDES permit will be required. These parameters will continue to be monitored quarterly in Hendersonville's pretreatment LTMP: Cadmium, cyanide, mercury, selenium, and silver • The following pesticides were detected in the 2004 PPA data submitted with the application. A modified RPA was done due to the limited number of data points. The pesticides detected were heptachlor, dieldrin, endosulfan, lindane, alpha BHC, and beta BHC. o For the pesticides where the actual data value(s) did not exceed the allowable concentration, there will be no action taken. No monitoring or limit will be recommended. The parameter will be sampled yearly during the required pollutant scan: endosulfan, lindane, alpha BHC, beta BHC, and heptachlor at 4.8 MGD only. • Endosulfan = 0.16 ug/1: allowable concentrations = 1.3 ug/1 at 4.8 MGD and 1.05 ug/1 at 6.0 MGD • Lindane = 0.052 ug/1: allowable concentrations = 0.260 ug/1 at 4.8 MGD and 0.210 ug/1 at 6.0 MGD • alpha BHC = 0.056 ug/1: allowable concentrations = 0.127 ug/1 at 4.8 MGD and 0.103 ug/1 at 6.0 MGD • beta BHC = 0.082 ug/1: allowable concentrations = 0.442 ug/1 at 4.8 MGD and 0.357 ug/1 at 6.0 MGD • Heptachlor= 0.079 ug/1 and 0.086 ug/1: allowable concentration = 0.104 ug/1 at 4.8 MGD o For the pesticides where the actual data value(s) did exceed the allowable concentration, a monthly monitoring schedule is recommended and limits will become effective 18 months from the issuance date of the permit. The facility is encouraged to aggressively determine the source of the pesticides. If prior to the 18 month date, it can be demonstrated that these are not pollutants of concern, the facility may submit a written request for removal of the pesticide requirement. The parameter will be sampled monthly with the 18 month limitation schedule: dieldrin and heptachlor at 6.0 MGD only. • Dieldrin = 0.064 ug/1: allowable concentrations = 0.052 ug/1 at 4.8 MGD and 0.042 ug/1 at 6.0 MGD • Heptachlor= 0.079 ug/1 and 0.086 ug/1: allowable concentration = 0. 084 ug/1 at 6.0 MGD Additional data that was detected: Bis 2 ethylhexyl phthalate, Three values ranging from 30 ug/1 to 38 ug/1: a laboratory contaminant that is not present in Hendersonville effluent but is added during the lab sampling process. No monitoring or limit will be required. Aluminum (1.1 ug/1)- no monitoring or limit due to high concentration in NC soils. Barium (0.016 ug/1) and chloroform (5.2 ug/1) - no monitoring or limit. These parameters will be sampled annually in the effluent pollutant scans. Fad :Shoo: NPDES :NC'00 255 34 Ront v. al SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES • Summer and winter weekly average NH3 limits, 6 mg/1 and 12 mg/1, respectively, will be given at 4.8 MGD and 6.0 MGD. • An annual pollutant scan will be added to fulfill EPA's major municipal application requirement • Effluent limitations for cadmium, cyanide, mercury, and selenium will be dropped due to no reasonable potential to exceed the water quality standard instream. • Effluent monitoring for silver will be dropped due to no reasonable potential to exceed the NC action level standard instream. • An eighteen -month limitation schedule will be added to the permit for dieldrin and heptachlor. Limits will become effective 18 months from the effective date of the permit. Prior to the effective date of the limit, monthly monitoring will be given. All other existing limits and monitoring requirements will remain, as is the previous permit.

Nonpoint sources included urban and stormwater runoff as well as agricultural land use. The Hendersonville Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) was operating under a Special Order of Consent (SOC) during the 2000 basin plan. The facility was under construction to increase its flow capacity and was meeting the effluent limits of the SOC. Local agencies were to assist in providing technical assistance and financial support for best management practices (BMPs) associated with a local dairy operation. Land -of -Sky Regional Council of Governments was to form a stakeholder group that was to develop an implementation plan to improve the water quality throughout the watershed. Current Status Mud Creek, from Little Mud Creek to the French Broad River (13.2 miles), is currently Impaired because of Poor or Fair bioclassification at sites B-4, SB-17, SB-18, SB-55, and F-1. Additional Chapter 2 - French Broad River Subbasin 04-03-02 18 sites at SB-22 and SB-23 are Not Rated (1.9 miles) and Not Impaired (2.7 miles) because data from these sites were inconclusive or too small to rate. Most of the data collected in this watershed during the assessment period was part of the DWQ Watershed Assessment and Restoration Program (WARP) funded by the Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF). This intensive survey collected the following data: benthic macroinvertebrate; stream habitat assessment; morphology and riparian zone condition; water quality sampling to evaluate stream chemistry and toxicity; and characterization of watershed land use, conditions and pollution sources (NCDENR-DWQ, October 2002b). The study area included the Mud Creek watershed and its major tributary streams (discussed below). The study found that aquatic organisms in the creek are impacted by toxicity, habitat degradation, storm flow scour from urban areas, and widespread stream degradation. Pesticides and urban toxicants are thought to be the cause of toxicity. Channelization, lack of riparian vegetation, and upland sedimentation are all potential causes of habitat degradation. Nutrient overloading is also widespread. The biological community may also have been adversely impacted by a four-year drought (1998 to 2002), although nonpoint source runoff impacts may have been minimized during this time. A group of local stakeholders have organized as the Mud Creek Watershed Restoration Council. This group has developed a watershed plan and is moving into the implementation phase with the support of a full-time watershed coordinator housed at the Henderson County Cooperative Extension Service Center (NCCES). Working with the council, the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) helped develop a local watershed plan. The plan identifies sources of habitat and water quality impacts and makes recommendations to address these issues. Refer to Current Water Quality Initiatives for more information. Hendersonville WWTP completed construction activities in March 2002. The newly constructed aeration facility is producing high quality effluent. The SOC has been removed and the facility is currently meeting its operating limits. 2005 Recommendations DWQ will continue to monitor water quality in the Mud Creek watershed to study the causes of toxicity. Management strategies were developed as part of the WARP study, and DWQ recommends that the following strategies be implemented: • Feasible and cost-effective stormwater retrofit projects should be implemented throughout the developed portions of the watershed. • A program to address toxic inputs from developed areas should be created and implemented including source reduction and stormwater treatment methods. • Stream channel restoration activities. ■ BMPs to prevent pesticides from entering streams, including practices applicable to apple orchards. ■ BMPs to minimize livestock access to streams. • Post -construction stormwater management strategies, especially in rapidly developing areas, should be developed by Henderson County or the local municipality. Chapter 2 — French Broad River Subbasin 04-03-02 19 • Henderson County should develop local sediment and erosion control programs or NC Division of Land Resources (DLR) should refine its present program, with specific provisions to address smaller sites and road and site development on steep slopes. • A watershed education program should be developed. DWQ encourages the efforts of the Mud Creek Watershed Restoration Council and will partner with them as they implement management strategies in the watershed. Water Quality Initiatives Several water quality initiatives are underway throughout the Mud Creek watershed. Henderson County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) in conjunction with the NRCS has closed three abandoned animal waste systems; installed 19 agrichemical handling facilities; converted 70 acres of conventional till vegetables to no -till farmland; purchased two precision sprayers to reduce pesticide over spray; installed 2,663 feet of fence to exclude livestock; and installed five watering tanks. Over $600,000 of funds from EQIP and the NC Agriculture Cost Share Program (NCACSP) was spent to install the BMPs. The district is currently seeking additional funds to purchase more precision sprayers and to examine the use of pheromone mediating mating disruptors. In addition to the local SWCD, the Mud Creek Watershed Restoration Council was formed and consists of a diverse group that strives to improve and protect water quality throughout the Mud Creek watershed. The council has developed management strategies grouped into the following four categories: 1) stormwater; 2) nonpoint source pollution from agricultural activities; 3) habitat degradation; and 4) upland sources of sediment (Mud Creek Watershed Restoration Council, April 2003). Goals and objectives for each of these categories are listed below. (1) Stormwater: Strategies are listed to address the volume, velocity and quality of post - construction runoff from existing and future roads and commercial and residential development. • Educate citizens and businesses on stormwater issues and BMPs; create an awards program. • Develop or refine stormwater management and floodplain development ordinances. • Reduce impervious surfaces that create stormwater runoff and pollution; review building codes for low impact development opportunities. (2) Nonpoint Source Pollution from Agricultural Activities: Strategies are listed to reduce pesticides, nutrients, sediment, and bacteria and other agriculture related nonpoint source pollution. • Promote innovative pest management practices to minimize pesticide drift. • Work with willing landowners to stabilize streams, establish vegetative buffers, and implement animal waste practices. Chapter 2 — French Broad River Subbasin 04-03-02 20 (3) Habitat Degradation: Strategies include those that improve aquatic habitat needed by aquatic organisms to survive and reproduce in a stream. The recommendations address the causes of habitat degradation including sedimentation, bank erosion, channelization, lack of riparian vegetation, loss of riffles or pools, loss of woody habitat, and streambed scour (i.e., flow that washes away habitat). • Restore the most critically eroding streams and restore native vegetation along all streams. • Educate landowners about the importance of riparian buffers. • Protect high priority wetlands and riparian buffers in the watershed. (4) Upland Sources of Sedimentation: Strategies also include those that reduce sediment pollution from construction activities and unpaved roads and driveways. • Consider the benefits of a local sediment and erosion control program. • Educate excavators and the public about how to control erosion. • Reduce sediment pollution from unpaved roads, eroding roadbanks and roadside ditches. Land use/cover information for the watershed was determined using 2001 aerial photography with an Integrated Pollution Source Identification (IPSI) system developed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). IPSI is a geographical information database that utilizes a number of physical factors to aid in identifying and prioritizing issues affecting water quality. From IPSI, it was determined that 45 percent of the land area is forest; 25 percent is used for residential, commercial or industrial purposes, and 23 percent consists of agricultural use including row crops, orchards, and cattle and horse pastures. Significant channelization and floodplain alteration has occurred throughout the watershed during the last 150 years. Woody debris is sparse, and the aquatic habitat is generally poor throughout the watershed. Without appropriate water quality protection, increasing urbanization in the watershed will likely exacerbate existing water quality problems. For additional information on local water quality initiatives in the Mud Creek watershed and contact information, refer to Chapter 16. Because of the water quality problems noted throughout the Mud Creek watershed, it has been identified by NCEEP as one of 28 local watersheds in the basin with the greatest need and opportunity for stream and wetland restoration efforts. A local watershed plan was completed in 2003 and incorporated into the management strategies listed above. NCEEP is initiating two wetland restoration projects (totaling 15 acres) and one 2,000 linear foot stream restoration project in the Mud Creek watershed. Construction will begin in 2005.

Bat Fork [AU# 6-55-8-ib] 2000 Recommendations Bat Fork was Impaired due to habitat degradation from nonpoint source inputs including agriculture as well as urban and nonurban development. Bat Fork could benefit from local initiatives that might include the formation of a citizens group to conduct stream cleanup efforts, assess the watershed for specific pollution sources, and identify possible solutions to nonpoint sources of pollution. Local agencies could pursue funding opportunities to reduce nonpoint Chapter 2 — French Broad River Subbasin 04-03-02 21 )1;%/a/ .e004-,4 dig/if do O79 0,0.6)6 Calfi.✓ 0,Oi:`f 0,1'40 /,Nd4.e, CO$ 2 Se/c- Qr VCR`'' Cal o e2- ,75' )c/uf 30sty lie a (0/6 .4X141e't 4%%IAI/ r.; i©yam ff �3 j/e Uzc'[/-� 04' ff v /r ;e z741)1 1ql i, N gock!C(1)4 u 1 6 E/44 ( A/uiv4s-v7 Modeling unit response to July 16, 2002 memo from Roy Davis regarding re-evaluation of the Mud Creek effluent management strategy in the French Broad. Notes Roy Davis argument: Requirement of 10 mg/L BOD5 and 2 mg/L NH3-N for new Mud Cr. discharged should be lifted. Doesn't know for sure why limits tightened several years ago. Assumes limits based on modeling since they are more stringent that what secondary treatment would yield. Problem assumed to be taken care of by update of Hendersonville plant in recent expansion. Recommends that DWQ modify the effluent requirement policy and drop it from the next basin plan. Suggests that limit requirements close to Hendersonville may remain at 10 & 2. Recommends that we apply limits based on local hydrologic zones and not zone of influence (lower Mud Cr. where DO problems have occurred). Septic tank permit denied for owner in upper Mud Cr. Had permit at one time, but allowed it to expire. Reapplication denied because of unspecified siting rules change. Has examined alternatives but results of this not reported. Says that lot in question is "several miles" from where DO problems observed. Listed for turbidity and fecal coliform (actually, this is incorrect. Mud Cr. is listed for turbidity and a biological impairment, not fecal coliform anymore). Talked to Andrea and Mike from WARP and says that oxygen consuming is not a problem in upper Mud Creek. Initial thoughts: Jackie's document makes a good point that limits were developed based on modeling of the whole watershed after DEW realized an over -allocation existed. (Is there a Level B and a Qual2e for Mud Cr. - both referenced). I checked with Andrea on their work and she said that DO does not appear to be a problem in the upper watershed, but still is in the lower watershed. Nutrients have been a problem in the upper watershed, but reclamation of a poorly managed dairy farm in the last year may have rectified that. Will check on 2002 data and get back to us. Generally says that the watershed "doesn't need more abuse and would rather not see another point source go in". I agree with Jackie that someone did work on this and set a policy that has not been fully implemented. Hendersonville has room left to expand according to their permit. The guy had a septic permit and didn't act on it. The question is: should we check the models for this one small discharge? I don't know where the models are for one. Also, Roy would need to get more particulars in terms of location and quantity of discharge expected. The watershed has a biological impairment and needs less pollutant loading, not more. My recommendation is to deny the request to change the policy for the time being. I don't think it is worth our effort to run the models given the whole picture (biologically impaired watershed, Hendersonville current flow under permitted flow, landowner slacked on previous septic permit). Response to June 16, 2002 memo from Roy Davis' regarding re-evaluation of the Mud Creek management strategy in FRB. -Strategy was based on discovery of over -allocation of effluent limits for dischargers to Mud Creek. Level B model results predicted DO violations at the mouth of Mud Creek with all dischargers at permitted loads (i.e. existing limits). This included Hendersonville @ 6.0 MGD and at its existing location in Mud Creek above the confluence of Clear Creek. Even with the removal of some discharges via connection to the Hendersonville WWTP, the QUAL2E model still predicted DO violations in Mud Creek. Roy argues that with the relocation and upgrade of the Hendersonville facility, we may need to look at changing the strategy of giving all new and expanding dischargers 10/2/5 limits per the Mud Creek strategy. New facilities that are some distance from the Hendersonville WWTP and other dischargers included in the model, may need to be afforded some leniency in their limits. But this would probably require a review of the QUAL2E model and the inclusion of new dischargers to see how it impacts the model results. Data review: Checked instream monitoring data — there have been no violations of the DO standard in the monthly average values for the past two years. There was one exceedance with an upstream DO value of 4.7 mg/I in June 2001. The monthly average values for all upstream fecal coliform has exceeded the 200/100m1 limit since 2000. However, there were only three exceedances of the fecal coliform standard downstream of the outfall and they all occurred in 2000. There have been no fecal coliform exceedances since July 2000. My thoughts: In my experience, whenever DWQ has developed a management strategy for a watershed or basin, we have never ignored or deviated from the recommended strategy. In the case of the Mud Creek strategy, Hendersonville has not expanded to 6 MGD yet and this is the wasteflow that was included in the QUAL2E modeling effort. In the past couple of years, the stream may have been at 7Q10 and the recommended management strategy limits may still be appropriate. The strategy did cover the entire watershed, which may have been too broad, BUT it is in place and has been adopted and followed by DWQ up to this point. I don't think that enough time has passed for the strategy to be scrapped in its entirety. Hendersonville has been under SOC for a couple of years. Just recently, the Hendersonville plant completed its expansion and upgrade to a wasteflow of 4.8 MGD. This is still less than the 6.0 MGD that was addressed in the Mud Creek strategy and there still appear to be several individual dischargers in the Mud Creek/Clear Creek watersheds. Mud Creek is listed on the 303d for fecal and TSS, even though these could be from nonpoint sources. I'm not sure that we should eliminate the strategy especially since we have not seen the effects of the expanded Hendersonville WWTP on Mud Creek.

The Water Quality Section has for several years had a policy of imposing a BOD5 limit of 10 mg/1 and an NH3-N limit of 2 mg/1 for any new or expanded discharge anywhere in the Mud Creek drainage in the French Broad River Basin. I rather suspect that we tightened down on the discharge of oxygen consuming waste because of possible DO problems in Mud Creek below the City of Hendersonville's WWTP which would place the problem near its mouth. The Mud Creek drainage stretches for a distance of approximately fifteen miles from its mouth, in a southerly direction, to a point near the Transylvania County line. Our policy has been that no matter how far removed from the problem segment new and expanded discharges would receive very tight limits on oxygen consuming waste. 59 Woodfin Place, Asheville North Carolina 28801 Telephone 828-251-6208 FAX 828-251-6452 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/l0% post -consumer paper Coleen Sullins Memorandum July 15, 2002 Page Two Hendersonville has a permit to discharge treated wastewater to Mud Creek approximately five miles above the point where Mud Creek enters the French Broad River. Hendersonville finished construction of its new 4.8 MGD WWTP on March 26 of this year. Final limits became effective on the last day of June, 2002. I have to assume that these final limits are based upon modeling and are more stringent than secondary limits (BOD5-10 mg/1 summer and 20 mg/1 winter, NH3-N 2 mg/1 summer and 4 mg/1 winter) in order to correct downstream DO problems. With the completion of the new WWTP and compliance with final limits.we will have addressed the DO problem in Mud Creek associated with the permitted discharge of wastewater in this section of the stream. With the next version of the French Broad River Basin Plan, it is time to modify our policy regarding establishing effluent limits for new and expanded discharges in the Mud Creek Basin. In fact, so that we are riot placed in a position of having to explain to potential new dischargers that we are proposing to impose more stringent limits than secondary in response to a problem that was associated with the Hendersonville WWTP, we should modify the policy immediately and then drop it from the next French Broad River Basin Plan. For proposed discharges of wastewater in close enough proximity to the Hendersonville point of discharge, it makes sense to restrict the discharge quality to be consistent with the Hendersonville limits. This is true in a couple of ways. First, the possibility of having a measurable effect on the DO profile of Mud Creek is much greater if the proximity of a new discharge actually influences the oxygen consuming load to the segment (this "zone of influence" could be established through some modeling analysis). Second, if a new discharge is near the Hendersonville sewer service area, we would want to encourage connection to the system rather than promoting the proliferation of package plants in the county. Because of the size and scope of the Mud Creek drainage, it will not be possible to accommodate all development economically or environmentally through the Hendersonville wastewater collection system. In these "remote" sections of the basin, the effluent limits shouldbe set to meet the water quality standards within the "local" hydrologic zone and the assimilative capacity there, not the situation near the mouth of Mud Creek. Our policy on establishing effluent limits in the Mud Creek watershed should be directed at specific water quality issues and it should be fair to all potential users of the water. We do need to encourage "regionalization" of wastewater management, but the reality of geographical limitations needs to be considered as well. For example, I am now in conversation with the owner of a lot toward the head of Mud Creek which has been turned down by the Henderson County Health Department for a conventional septic tank -drain field system to serve a proposed home. He has examined all alternatives, including the acquisition 59 Woodfm Place, Asheville North Carolina 28801 Telephone 828-251-6208 FAX 828-251-6452 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper • 0 Coleen Sullins Memorandum July 15, 2002 Page Three of additional land to develop an on -site system. In fact, this site was originally approved by the County Health Department, but the permit expired. Because siting rules have changed since that initial permit, a new permit could not be approved. Today, due to the current policy, I am forced to tell him that he must apply for an individual NPDES Permit for his few hundred gallons of sewage. Typically, this site would be eligible for the use of a general, septic tank/sand filter system, but because such a system cannot achieve the limits required by the current policy, a general permit is not an option. Generally, the ARO doesn't support the use of these permits, but in cases of "pre-existing" lots with no other options, the general permit is the only way to allow owners to use their property (provided there is a receiving• stream of sufficient size available). An individual permit is not economically or environmentally supportable because, if issued, would contain limits more stringent than secondary limits, require an ORC and self monitoring. His lot is several miles upstream from the Mud Creek segment where DO problems have not been observed.. , According to the May, 2000 French Broad River Basin Plan, Mud Creek is classified as non -supporting due to turbidity and fecal coliform. The action I am proposing is in no way related to the problems described in the Basin Plan. As further background I would note that Andrea Leslie and Mike McDonald in the WQ Section are involved in a two year study to determine why Mud Creek is in the shape that it is in and what can be done to improve the situation. In my conversations with them, I am not hearing that oxygen consuming waste is in anyway a problem. Thank you for your consideration. I will be glad to discuss this with you or any of the WQ staff that helped develop the existing limitation policy on Mud Creek. xc: Darlene Kucken Dave Goodrich Laurie Moorehead MUD CREEK1.02V2, TXTRMD tl 2°- 59 Woodfin Place, Asheville North Carolina 28801 Telephone 828-251-6208 FAX 828-251-6452 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper 7C re.„„el /1(,)Cv6LA - otak`/ZX 3.63Z 7,h7j, �l �t`7•� l/ l •� . �� l.✓,e,47ct 4 l-0lYm 2 A-(44/rf-ve-/-- /T-l#0.
