The existing permit included a special condition to repair the aerator in the third lagoon. A second special condition required the town to extend its outfall to the Creek. The town confirmed that both conditions have been met. No other changes have occurred at the facility. Facility Description: The wastewater treatment facility consists of an influent bar screen, a three cell lagoon with adjustable weir and an aerator in the third cell. The Town of Hookerton started construction of the modifications to the wastewater treatment facility approved by an ATC issued August 24, 2001. The modified treatment system will utilize the existing bar screen and the first lagoon. The new construction consists of a Duckweed Treatment System including 12- 30' x 100' x 4' deep concrete basins, supernatant and recycle pumps, and duckweed collection troughs, waste pump and chiller, an effluent polishing filter, two -bank UV disinfection system and effluent and stormwater pump station. Construction is expected to be finished by November of 2004. Basin Plan: Contentnea Creek is listed as supporting from Wiggins Mill Dam to the Neuse River confluence. Pre -Treatment: Hookerton has no Significant Industrial Users. DMR Review: DMR data were reviewed for the period of January 2002 to December 2003. The facility does not discharge continuously. In 2002 and 2003 they discharged only four months each year. Compliance Summary: The facility received the following Notices of Violations: Weekly and monthly limit violations of Fecal Coliform in July 2000, monthly limit violation of Fecal Coliform in September 2000, weekly and monthly limit violations of Fact Sheet NPDES NC0025712 Renewal Page 1 • r A i_ Fecal Coliform in April 2002, effluent monitoring frequency violations on April 2001, violation of the monthly average limits for BOD and TSS for April 2001, BOD monthly average violation in October 2000 The Town is under an SOC for the construction period with relaxed limits for BOD, TSS and Fecal Coliform. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES • A footnote was added to the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements to clarify that monitoring for Total Residual Chlorine is only required if chlorine or a derivative is used for disinfection. At present the town does not use chlorine for disinfection. To meet the TRC policy adopted in April 2003, a daily maximum limit of 28 mg/I was added for total residual chlorine. Facilities that didn't have TRC limits will get limits at permit renewal time. • Conductivity monitoring was removed from the permit requirements. Facilities treating 100 % domestic flow are not required to monitor conductivity.

I Greene County March 18, 2004 The Town has verbally requested to modify their SOC Attachment A. The Town is part of the Neuse River Sampling Coalition and their present monitoring requirements are different than the other Municipalities in the coalition. The coalition has hired a company to pull samples for them and the monitoring requirements are similar in nature except for the Town of Hookerton's. The Town is collecting samples at different time periods, which has become a financial burden. They have requested that their sampling intervals be similar to their counterparts. This office has modified Attachment A to correspond with their draft permit, which should have the same monitoring time intervals as their counterparts.

Garris, Mayor Town of Hookerton Rug 15 03 11:21a CWPITF 9197336374 p • 3 Project Description Town of Hookerton Wastewater Treatment Plant Modifications The Town of Hookerton currently utilizes a three -lagoon wastewater treatment system. This system does not currently treat the effluent from the Town of Hookerton to acceptable levels in accordance with the permitted standards for BOD and TSS (or TSR) during summer months. The state has mandated that the Town of Hookerton develop a solution that would treat the effluent to allowable nutrient limits. As a result the Town of Hookerton has contracted with The East Group, P.A., to design a wastewater treatment facility upgrade, which will use a unique nutrient -removal technology using duckweed. The proposed project consists of modifications to the Town of Hookerton's existing Wastewater Treatment Facility as indicated below: 1. An earthen berm that will span between existing lagoons #1 and #3 and will protect the site from the 100-year flood event. 2. A storm water pump station that will be constructed within the bermed area to capture and remove accumulation of stormwater during a storm event and also to prevent flooding of the system. 3. 12-nutrient removal basins, which include a concrete chamber and a greenhouse cover, will be constructed to house the duckweed. These chambers will have a surface area of approximately 0.9 acres and will provide over 18 days of retention at the current flow rate of 40,000 gpd. Effluent from lagoon #1 will enter these basins where the growing duckweed will absorb the nutrients from the effluent as the primary treatment. 4. The dual -chamber recycle/sand filter will provide secondary treatment as the effluent from the basins are pumped from the basins to the filters and then to an effluent pump station. 5. An effluent pump station will be constructed to discharge treated effluent to lagoon #2 for discharge to the Contentnea Creek as permitted. A portion of the duckweed within the basins will be harvested daily and pumped to a screen filter for storage and removal off site. The process for treatment in the proposed system is as follows: Effluent from the Town of Hookerton will enter into Lagoon #1 and pass into the nutrient removal basins. In the nutrient removal basins the growing duckweed will absorb nutrients from the effluent. Treated effluent is then pumped to the recycle/sandfilter basin for filtration. Once effluent is filtered, it is pumped into lagoon #2 and then gravity flows to lagoon #3 for discharge into Contentnea Creek as permitted.

CWMTF provided a grant of up to S790,000 to the Town to construct an innovative duckweed wastewater treatment system in 1999 (CWMTF Project #1999A-502). As I pointed out in my letter of July 2, 2002, CWMTF will not be able to respond to the Town's request for additional funds until after the General Assembly appropriates additional funds to CWMTF later this year. Last February Governor Easley cut CWMTF's budget by S20.8 million to help balance the State's 2001-02 budget. Consequently CWMTF has been unable to fund many projects that the Board of Trustees approved last year. The Board of Trustees' first priority is to provide funds to projects approved last year. CWMTF's Infrastructure/Wastewater Committee and Board of Trustees will meet October 27-28, 2002 in Montgomery County. I will put the Town's request on the committee's agenda. Please send a formal request and revised budget to my attention no later than October 4, 2002. Final decisions — subject to the appropriation of funds — will be made on November 13, 2002 in Raleigh. Your letter of August 12 asked if CWMTF would reimburse the Town for "after the fact" expenses. Yes, in rare circumstances — subject to approval by the Board of Trustees — CWIvITF will reimburse a local government for expenses it incurred before a Chair, Robert D.

The Board of Trustees could approve a grant to a local government to help it pay down or pay off its debt from a water quality project. However, the Town must proceed at its own risk. The competition for CWMTF funds is keen. About one hundred and sixty local governments, land trusts, and state agencies have requested over $150 million from CWMTF this fall.

First, please again accept the acknowledgment that the Town of Hookerton's elected officials and it's citizens greatly appreciate everything the CWMTF has already done for us. We are aware of the announced state wide budget dilemma and its impact preventing any possible immediate ability for CWMTF to commit additional grant funding. With that knowledge, I respectfully ask, has CWMTF ever, or could or would they ever, consider after the fact grant funding to enable a municipality to pay a delayed project debt? We have a subcontractor within the low bid for Hookerton's Duckweed Waste Water Treatment Project indicating a willingness to delay his payment for services and materials up to at least 10 years. There would be interest based on the actual delayed payment period at a rate to be negotiated. This agreement could be an enabler for the Town to proceed with construction. Our remaining funding need (even after applying an approved loan commitment to the Town of Hookerton for $117,000 from the GTP Development Commission through Greene County) is $244,644 which includes a 10% contingency addition to the low bid of $1,546,949. As I stated to you on the phone, a significant portion of Hookerton's existing' 469 citizens (many of which are seniors) would probably not live long enough to see the end of a long term debt service for our community. Reference to a Page 2—Holman—CWMTF long term debt service is with an assumption that we would qualify through LGC if we committed to try to borrow the remaining funds needed. Please consider whether the CWMTF could commit additional grant funds for this project which would not have to be drawn upon for several years. I respectfully thank you for your consideration Sincerely, e is K.

In 1999, CWMTF providcd a grant of up to $790,000 to the Town to construct an innovative duckweed wastewater.treatment system (CWMTF No. 1999A-502). The Town's request was considered by the Board of Trustees of the CWMTF at its meeting on October 28, 2002. The Board did not approve the Town's request for additional funding. The original project budget was $1.14 million and is now nearly $1.8 million. CWMTF supported the original $1.14 million project because it would have been a goad investment of CWMTF funds to help demonstrate the potential usefulness of this technology for small systems in North Carolina. As you know, duckweed wastewater treatment technology is not proven in North Carolina. Now that the project costs have increased to nearly $1.8 million, there are other proven technologies and other alternatives that become more economical than the proposed system. For this reason, the Board did not approve the Town's request. CWMTF urges the Town to seek private investors or seek a low -interest loan from the US Department of Agriculture to finance to the additional $249,644.

The Town should be aware that it might not be possible for CWMTF to further extend the grant period. The Town is therefore urged to either secure the additional funds and proceed quickly to complete this project by Sept. 2003, or develop a more economical solution for which the Town may apply again to the CWMTF for funding consideration.

Additional specific actions deemed necessary by the Commission to protect the water quality or the existing uses of the waters of the state shall be specified in Paragraph (b) of this Rule. These actions may include anything within the powers of the Commission. The Commission may also consider local actions which have been taken to protect a waterbody in determining the appropriate protection options to be incorporated into the water quality management plan. (b) All waters determined by the Commission to be protected by a water quality management plan are listed with specific actions as follows: The Lockwoods Folly River Area (Lumber River Basin), which includes all waters of the lower Lockwoods Folly River in an area extending north from the Intracoastal Waterway to a line extending from Genoes Point to Mullet Creek, shall be protected by the specific actions described in Subparagraphs (1) through (5) of this Paragraph. (1) New development activities within 5750 of the mean high water line which require a Sedimentation Erosion Control Plan or a CAMA major development permit must comply with the low density option of the coastal Stormwater Runoff Disposal Rules [as specified in 15A NCAC 2H .1005(2)(a)]. (2) New or expanded NPDES permits shall be issued only for non -domestic, non -industrial process type discharges (such as non -industrial process cooling or seafood processing discharges). A public hearing is mandatory for any proposed (new or expanded) NPDES permit to this protected area. (3) New non -discharge permits shall be required to meet reduced loading rates and increased buffer zones, to be determined on a case -by -case basis. (4) New or expanded marinas must be located in upland basin areas. (5) No dredge or fill activities shall be allowed where significant shellfish or submerged aquatic vegetation bed resources occur, except for maintenance dredging, such as that required to maintain access to existing channels and facilities located within the protected area or maintenance dredging for activities such as agriculture.

The following procedures are to be implemented in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0223 in all waters of the Tar -Pamlico River Basin for those wastewater dischargers who are not members of the Tar -Pamlico Basin Association; (b) Existing wastewater dischargers expanding to greater than 0.5 million gallons per day (MGD who are ), not members of the Tar -Pamlico Basin Association, shall be required to offset their additional nutrient loads by funding nonpoint source control programs approved by the Division of Wat€:. Quality prior to the issuance of their NPDES permit and at each renewal. Nitrogen and phosphorus loads shall be offset at the rate of 110 percent of the cost to implement BMPs designed to reduce that same load created by expanding the discharge above 0.5 MGD. Equations for calculating the offset costs are: (1) For an existing facility with permitted flow of less than or equd: to 0.5 MGD as of December 8, 1994 expanding to greater than 0.5 MGD who is not a member of the Tar - Pamlico Basin Association: x (BMPc x 1.1) where: Payment=((PFe x (TN+TP) x 1384)-(0.5 x (TN+TP) x 1384)) Payment = the nutrient offset payment ($); PFe = Permitted Flow including expansion (MGD); TN = 6 mg/1 total nitrogen for domestic discharges or BAT for industrial discharges; TP = 1 mg/1 total phosphorus for domestic discharges or BAT for industrial discharges; 1384 = conversion factor; 0.5 = the permitted flow (MGD) above which payment for additional nutrient loading is required; BMPc = Best Management Practice cost-effectiveness rate in $Ikg as set in 15A NCAC 2B .0237 of this Section; 1.1 = 110 percent of the cost for the nonpoint source controls. (2) For an expanding facility with a permitted flow of greater than or equal to 0.5 MGD as of December 8, 1994 who is not a member of the T�li o PamBasin X B Association: 1 1) where: Payment=((PFe x (TN+TP) x 1384)-(PF x (TN+TP) Payment = the nutrient offset payment ($); PFe = Permitted Flow including expansion (MGD); PF = Permitted Flow as of December 8, 1994 (MGD); TN = 6 mg/1 total nitrogen for domestic discharges or BAT for industrial discharges; TP = 1 mg/1 total phosphorus for domestic discharges or BAT for industrial discharges; 1384 = conversion factor; set in 15A NCAC BMPc = Best Management Practice cost-effectiveness rate in $/kg as 2B .0237 of this Section; 1.1 = 110 percent of the cost for the nonpoint source controls. 08/Ol/00 page 54 NORTH CAROLINA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE pics Subject: pics Date: Wed, 09 May 2001 14:44:03 -0400 From: Mike Templeton <mike.templeton@ncmail.net> To: Jackie Nowell <Jackie.Nowell@ncmail.net> Jackie - Here are descriptions I can offer for the Hookerton pictures, in the same order they appeared in your e-mail. I added an aerial photo that shows the location and layout of the plant. Let me know if you need anything else on these. As I remember, we did this site visit on May 4, the day of the public hearing in New Bern. - Mike T 1. View of a stormwater pond (left center) with the Lagoon #3 berm visible in the right rear, taken from near the outfall channel (Contentnea Creek is to the photographer's back). The storm pond was once a borrow pit and filled in when the excavation ended. It was not constructed to provide stormwater treatment or other purpose, but the Town did construct an outfall line that discharges to the same channel as the WWTP. 2. View of the influent line as it enters the berm to the first lagoon. (Also seen in the last photo.) The line enters the manhole in the foreground, then goes to the headworks structure (seen at the top of the berm), and to a second manhole (photo #4) before entering the lagoon). 3. Influent bar screen and weir at Lagoon #1. 4. View of manhole at point of discharge into Lagoon #1, showing solids accumulation in foreground. Effluent structure for the lagoon is visible in the reflection at the top edge of the photo, slightly left of center. 5. View looking east from Lagoon #1, showing swampy conditions adjacent to the WWTP. 6. View of Lagoon #1 effluent structure, a simple overflow box connected to Lagoon #2 by a gravity sewer line. 7. View of Lagoon #2, looking approx. NW. 8. View of Lagoons #2 (right) and #3 (left). Lagoon #3 has a floating aerator that, at the time of the site visit, had been out of service for approx. 8 months. 9. View of outfalls from the WWTP (left) and the storm pond (right) into the channel leading to Contentnea Creek. Looking approx. northeast. Here is an aerial photo of the plant, showing the three lagoons (#1 is at lower right, #2 to the north of it, #3 to the west of #2) and the storm pond (immediately west of #3). The channel is visible due south of #3 and east of #1. The Town of Hookerton is to the south and across Contentnea Creek from the plant. 1 of 2 5/9/01 2:49 PM pics 2 of 2 5/9/01 2:49 PM cijk 3(,(pt j (1) /-I i %- 3C 2,4 :-.<1,?5 -r4)1-1/7 if 1) ,-&-A 7445- ci,y4_ dir kfjL11"1-'1A /6- 54w1,444 di/41 � ?, N IV1-I-�N��w�f11. 54-.4 1 , -C;5 f` _'f-- 1/-4-t -/KAr0 4q,9y c„,114 1 iort AAA J-& 4,24_ j,3,17,_ oudzyv c-o2A-4_ Lettccov- C.1j % - 7/6-6 l /h/ 7(/1414 11, c. 3/5/01 Telecon with Tyndall Lewis, Town of Hookerton's Consultant 919-736-7630 Hookerton's outfall is to a small shallow creek, have been discharging there for 40 years. Originally had a 1 cell lagoon, and two additional cells were added on later. Mr. Lewis, seems to think there there is only one point of discharge from the system from the 3`d lagoon. Told him that when we visited the site in May 2000, there were two outfalls , one from the lagoon system and one from the "pond" or "stormwater pond". He says that there shouldn't be another pond, during wet weather times, a low area may have filled up but there is no other pond. Also admitted that he had not been to the site in several years, but will be visiting it soon and will see if there is another discharge. The banks of Contentnea Creek are very unstable. Nothing to keep the pipe from filling back in. You run the risk of it being undermined. The channel was a man made constructed ditch, trying to convey ww to Contentnea Creek. Around the outfall is rip rap or used to be originally. During low flows, the channel is more visible, but during wet weather its full of water . It's about 100 feet to the Creek from the outfall. The Town's argument is that it would take a lot of money to stabilize an outfall directly into Contentnea Creek. Boats could hit the outfall, the pipe is subject to be filled in, during flood conditions and this area floods a lot. You would be putting the end of the pipe in an unstable location. To construct the outfall would be difficult and costly for a small town of Hookerton. Asked about it being an effluent channel, 1) the channel is completely on Hookerton's land, 2) should be no other water other than effluent in the channel. An old drain had been plugged(?) 3) Doesn't know how we could keep fish out. Its in a flood plain, the land goes under water. Unsure what you could construct to keep fish out and what you construct may not allow them to escape if they are caught in the channel. Town just doesn't see the benefit of extending the outfall. Have been discharging here for 40 years. Mr. Lewis recommended a conference call tomorrow morning with the Town's ORC, for more discussion about the outfalls. ----- w 5' - 7 Jb - 7 6-3 u 71‘±_e,/ JO' m-ceik 0 ,-/-/c-e-A-.4.1elz- xt (c„;s 252 - 7-r 3 - 2/3 Z 3v , / � f � _ee L'04;fi' c,,,,_ u •? 417 ` cf ce.„&.Le_ cud val k 444.tx—zi h4L, ICL i ZO ZS�/ 2 -✓� /,, b//3/z a Nov e/21/ Z400 _ /j% c„,. w 2r7 ( Z tol,� ,✓L 4,3 k 7.01 / /701: l ln_s0717 a•C,U - .265- I/ /6,-,K q71. -�-�w �, ram ��,,� �....e,�� goLiAii %irce‘-fri s//y a --01,24 eivici .- API �%/i/.1 % ,ter. . / -Z L 1. -7 E' - 4,4 / U-f ✓ �h CAA, /m/f/ / ,,, mac- w iy z,L, fr,z, i E��� /C- ‘„-'7Z ° c 4 1/ 4 / lilk e f " 1/ A --4?-/- e,,,,,f- a,„„ 4 ,cc_ . ,,,„ ,, .# j 4 .i.. cwr 4A- `. �T .il/a 47'., 4•. f;4,05 /4tA- trLt; - /1WIr4 4.1 ir / - (>C . /fie ei-7-/ /:-/-7 i- w � , 12 fr 1-% /J ai,e- — f*6 - Z ,-. 7td .
