Dear Mr. Lowe:
EDEHNR
Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance
Permit No. NC0025496
City of Lincolnton
Wastewater Treatment Facility
Lincoln County
In accordance with your application for discharge permit received on January 9, 1995, we are
forwarding herewith the subject state - NPDES 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 US Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983.
In a letter dated May 30, 1995, Samuel L. Wilkins, P.E., R.L.S. of J.N. Pease Associates
requested (on behalf of the Town) that the effluent limitations for cadmium, cyanide, and phenols be
deleted from the proposed permit and that "monitoring only" be required for these parameters. Mr.
Wilkins also requested that, should we require that the limitations remain in the permit, the limitation be
changed from daily maximum/weekly average requirements to monthly average limitations.
The Division uses past data collected by the facility to determine whether or not a chemical -
specific parameter should be limited in anNPDES permit. Available data indicate a reasonable potential
for these parameters to be present in the effluent from your facility in concentrations that may cause
violations of State water quality standards. The issued permit incorporates daily maximum limitations to
protect against acute toxic effects and weekly average limitations to protect against chronic toxic effects.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty
(30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition,
conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings. Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 -7447. Unless such
demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part II, B.2. addresses the requirements to be
followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge.

The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units at the effluent. Effluent monitoring shall be conducted daily by grab
samples.
The c shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

Part hI
Permit No.NC0025496
F) CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality is 11% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit
holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the pennit
condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit
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.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code
TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management 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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will
require immediate.retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test
results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

Facility Name Lincolnton WWTP Permit # NC0025496 _ Pipe # 001 _
CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay
Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality
is _11 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall
perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first
test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit during the months of
_MAR JUN SEP DEC .. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES
permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B.
Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in
association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will
begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will
revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management 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 and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate
retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute
noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

4/4/95
Facility requesting renewal of existing NPDES permit. No modifications or
expansions with this WLA. Last WLA done 7/93 with the renewal of secondary limits for
BOD5, NH3, and TSS,. Facility had limits for Cr, Ni, Cn, and Phenols, in addition to
monitoring requirement for MBAS, Cd, CU, PB, Zn, and Ag. Lincolnton also has a
chronic toxicity test @ 11% which they are consistently passing.
In 1992, MRO recommended that Lincolnton be reevaluated and consideration be
given for the assignment of ikietals limits, because of the constituency of their wastewater.
The facility was treating a larger % of industrial wastewater than Instream Assessment was
aware of. IAU looked into reopening the Lincolnton permit and adding new limits based
on revised pretreatment data and facility inspection information. However since the pewit
was being renewed in 1993, the permit was not reopened prior to the renewal.
After conversation with Joe Pearce of Pretreatment, the following limits for metals and
toxicants will be placed in the permit Existing limit for Cr and Ni will be dropped,
however a cadmium limit will be added.Because of compliance problems with Cyanide,
Lincolnton will be requesting that weekly average and daily maximum limits be given for
this parameter as well as cadmium. Joe also indicated that Lincolnton will have a full LTMP
program where they will monitor all parameters once per quarter. They will also have to
monitor for organics because the several industries, manufacturers of dyes and tricot
fabrics, discharge organics into the Lincolnton facility and have never been sampled by the
company.
Recommended Limits: At'this renewal, will be recommending renewal of all
conventional parameters. Toxicity analysis indicated that some metal parameters will be
dropped. Limits are as follows:

NPDES PERMIT NO. NC0025496
I received a call from Tony Parker of MRO concerning an error in the % domestic flow and
% industrial flow for this facility. Based on previous inspection reports and confirmation by
the Town, these %s need to corrected to :
28% Domestic Flow and 72% Industrial Flow.
The last WLA submitted (4/16/93) had the % flows reversed. I told him I was not sure how
P&E determined this information but I would correct our finalized WLA to show these new
%s.
Please contact him if you have some questions about this.
