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 October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). This final permit includes the following major changes from the draft permit sent to you on August 1, 2012: ➢ The toxicity test requirement has been removed, as you requested. The presence of ammonia effluent limits negates the need for an effluent toxicity test. ➢ The odor control condition has been removed from the permit, as you requested. 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 (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required. If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Charles Weaver at telephone number (919) 807-6391.

Guerra, Bob From: sbrysontwsa@frontier.com Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2012 8:36 AM To: Guerra, Bob Cc: Dan Harbaugh Subject: permit renewal TWSA plant #3 (NC 0063321) Bob Guerra Compliance & Expedited Permits Unit Dear Mr. Guerra, subject: Permit Renewal, TWSA Plant #3 (NC 0063321) The plant process description in the draft permit needs some updating. The facility has only one digestor that holds 56,000 gals. The rotating disc filters have a peak flow rate of 139 gpm. The chlorine contact basins total approx 8,500 gals. A review of the current permit revealssa' Toxicity requirement. It was my understanding that when we completed the upgrade on the facility the ammonia limits would be implemented instead of the Toxicity requiremen A permit correction issued Oct 30, 2008 stated that the tocicity analysis was not neede• •ue to the fact that we had an ammonia limit. We ask that the Toxicity requirement be dropped from the permit. With the addition of new blowers and air piping in the plant upgrade, all reasonable steps to control odors at the "plant site" were completed. Controlling odors in the collection system itself are not within the scope of operations of my staff. I would respectfully submit that the provisions of Condition A.(4) be incorporated as part of the collection system p�e%rmit.
