SUMMARY
This is a permit renewal for the Town of Robbinsville WWTP. In 2011, the permit was modified to include effluent
limits associated with relocation of the discharge from Long Creek to Cheoah River and expansion of the
wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) capacity from 0.63 MGD to 0.85 MGD. A new WWTP was needed in order to
replace aging treatment units and to accommodate the town's long term growth projections for population increase
and expanding service area. The existing site did not have adequate space to accommodate expansion of the original
facility.
The limits for the expansion phase and for the relocated discharge listed in this permit are based on the Speculative
Limits development letter issued on July 29, 2008. The Engineering Alternatives Analysis for the expansion was
approved on July 8, 2011. An Authorization to Construct the new WWTP was issued in February 28, 2012.
Construction of the new WWTP is nearing completion and is expected to come online by the end of October, 2013.
The new WWTP includes: a mechanical bar screen; dual treatment trains each having a capacity of 0.315 MGD and
consisting of a flow equalization basin, anaerobic zone, pre -anoxic zone, aeration zone with coarse bubble diffusers,
post anoxic zone, re -aeration zone, a clarifier, a sludge digester/storage tank; a disk filter unit; a dual bank UV
disinfection system; an ultrasonic flow meter and an emergency generator.
The facility accepts wastewater from residential and commercial customers, serving a population of approximately
950. There is also a furniture manufacturer and several smaller industries connected to the collection system. The
facility does not have a Pretreatment Program. During the summer months, the population served increases
significantly due to tourism.

RECEIVING STREAM
Prior to the WWTP upgrade and discharge relocation, the WWTP will discharge to Long Creek in the Tennessee
River Basin. The facility will be relocating its effluent discharge point for the newly constructed WWTP to a new
location 2,500 feet downstream in the Cheoah River. This section of the Cheoah River is classified as C-Tr, and is
located in the Lower Little Tennessee River Basin, HUC 06010204. The subbasin generally contains high quality
waters and supports numerous trout streams. This section of the Cheoah River (from the Town of Robbinsville's
proposed water supply intake to Mountain Creek) was listed as impaired for turbidity in the 2012 303(d) list. The
current Little Tennessee River Basin Plan does not list a possible cause for the high turbidity in this particular stream
segment, although it does note concerns surrounding the need for outreach regarding erosion and sediment control
training within the western North Carolina region in general.
DMR DATA REVIEW AND VERIFICATION OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
A review of DMR data was conducted from October 2008 through August 2013. Data are summarized in Table 1.

During the last five years, the facility has received two limits violations (February 2010 and January 2013) for
exceeding the monthly average flow limit, and one frequency violation (September 2012) related to flow
monitoring. The newly constructed wastewater treatment plant that is scheduled to come online by the end of 2013
should address compliance issues.
MERCURY EVALUATION:
In accordance with the Permitting Guidance developed for the implementation of the statewide mercury TMDL, no
limit will be implemented for mercury since the facility is classified as a minor municipal with a design flow of less
than 1.0 MGD. A special condition will be added to the permit to require effluent monitoring for mercury once
during the next five years in conjunction with the next permit renewal application.

Mr. Ladd —
Thank you for your phone call this morning to clarify some details related to renewal of the Town of
Robbinsville's NPDES Permit (NC0025879). As you requested, I have attached a copy of the most
recent permit version, a modification from 2011.

Also attached is a flow schematic for the new VVVIITP that I found in the file. If you can just verify that
this is still correct, then I can simply use this one. If anything has changed, please send me an
update.
I look forward to receiving the additional sample results we discussed and a new signature page from
you at your earliest convenience.
