A. (2) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
[15A NCAC 02B .0200 et seq.]
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 2.1 ° o.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010, or subsequent versions
or `North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised- December 2010) or
subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July, and October. These
months signify the first month of each three-month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent
sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge and 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 -December 2010) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on 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, DWR Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the
following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1623 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina. 27699-1623
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water 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 Water 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. Assessment of toxicity compliance is based on the toxicity testing quarter,
which is the three month time interval that begins on the first day of the month in which toxicity testing is
required by this permit and continues until the final day of the third month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water
Resources 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.

Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall begin
reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge
Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet.. Until such time that the state's
eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation
(CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state
electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing,
signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the
following address:
NC DENR / DWR / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility
being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband
access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted
and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or
alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the
mailing address above.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be
submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the
facility would be required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid
for twelve (12) months and shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted
electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary
waiver by the Division.

Part of the evaluation for the NPDES renewal requires review of all reported data. There were several suspect
inconsistency in the Pretreatment DMR data reported that may be the results of unit of measurement errors, data entry
errors, or they are correct. Please review the list below, advise and correct where needed:
1) All the reported July 2013 data values, reported on the 15t and 9th , are identical except for the less than
designation, is this correct?
2) The Silver values reported on the 2/5/14, 4/22/14,7/23/14 are Tess than but are different values of 0.03 mg/L,
0.003 mg/I, 0.03 mg/L respectively, are they correct?
3) The Chromium value reported on 10/28/13 is 0.010 mg/L with NO less than designation, the value reported on
2/5/15 is 0, the value reported on 4/22/14 is 0.03 mg/L with less than designation, the value reported on
7/23/14 is 0.2 mg/L with a less than designation, are these correct?
4) The Lead values reported on 2/5/14, 4/22/14, 7/23/14 are 0.03 mg/L with less than designation, are they
correct?
5) The Nickel value reported on 2/5/14 is 0.3 mg/L with a less than designation, is this correct?
6) The Molybdenum values reported on July 2013 are 2.5 mg/L with less than designation, is the unit of
measurement correct?
7) The Cyanide value reported on 7/23/14 is 0.05 mg/L with a less than designation, is this correct?
8) The Selenium value reported on 7/23/14 is 0.05 mg/L with a less than designation, is this correct?
In addition, we are implementing the US EPA State wide Mercury TMDL. This requires 5 years of Mercury data using
Method 1631E to assess a domestic facility permit for Mercury requirements. If sufficient data is not available then
quarterly monitoring will most likely be required until the next renewal to provide data for evaluation. I noted you had
applicable data available from the majority of reported Pretreatment data (no Mercury reported on the July 2013
report) and in the Annual Pollutant Scans for 2010, 2011 (scans in 2012, 2013 used wrong test method, cannot use
data). Do you have any other effluent Mercury data that was sampled in 2009 (possibly annual scan) or 2012 that used
Method 1631E?
Upon review of our records I could not locate the December 2012 DMR, please provide a copy. A scan copy attached to
an email is acceptable.
As part of the renewal application the Division requires submittal of a Sludge Management Plan with the
application. Please provide the Plan, scanned copy via email is acceptable. Also, we are requesting a more detailed
description of the facility influent sources, for example best estimate percentage on domestic waste, industrial waste,
ground water remediation. If the industrial wastewater is a combination of general industrial waste, domestic waste
from the industry, and /or remediation waste from the industry then just state what makes up the combination and
indicate the combined industrial percentage.

Background and History
The Davie County Water System operates the regional 1.5 MGD Cooleemee wastewater
treatment facility that serves the communities of Cooleemee and Mocksville, total population
2,900. In addition, the facility maintains a modified pretreatment permit and accepts 7,000 gpd of
wastewater from Ingersoll Rand a non -categorical SIU, 14 gpm of recovered ground water from
a permitted RCRA site, and intermittent 0.14 MGD backwash/rinse wastewater from a
conventional WTP.
The facility was original designed for 3.5 MGD, however, in 1983 with less than expected
influent flows and loading, the facility's permitted flow was reduced to 1.5 MGD. Any future
expansion beyond 1.5 MGD will be considered a new expansion discharge and will require a
major permit modification (flow justification, EAA). A refurbishment of treatment components
was conducted in 2002 to address compliance issues. In 2009 Mocksville's domestic wastewater
became part of the facility influent, and the 0.25 MGD Bear Creek WWTP that was serving
Mocksville was decommissioned, its NPDES permit rescinded.
From 2004 through 2014 the annual average flow was 0.51 MGD with the highest annual
average flow 0.63 MGD in 2010 and lowest annual average flow 0.39 MGD in 2006. The flow
history shows significant episodic high daily discharge events.
The last permit renewal was issued in 2009. The only change from the previous permit was the
removal of the TRC compliance date. The 1986 USGS stream data was used to calculate an IWC
of 2.1% and other dilution factors where warranted.
Davie County Water System is a member of the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin Association. The
Cooleemee treatment facility discharges treated domestic/industrial wastewater to South Yakin
River, upstream of High Rock Lake, a class C water in the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin.

Current Effluent Characteristics
Data was reviewed from DMRs for the period of November 2010 to August 2014 and from four
annual Priority Pollutant Analyses. The highest monthly average flow 0.73 MGD occurred in
July 2013 and was 49% of the permitted flow, The reviewed data is summarized in Table I

As part of the RCRA permit, sampling for tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE)
were conducted in 2013 on the ground water recovery wells RA-2A and RA-3. PCE was not
detected but TCE was detected at 212 µg/L in RA-2A and 351 µg/L in RA-3. These TCE levels
are considered typical based on historical well data. The RCRA ground water system makes up
3% (14 gpm) of the total WWTP influent. PCE and TCE were analyzed as part of the facility
annual effluent Priority Pollutant Analysis and all data was below the minimum detection limit.
Evaluation of Compliance Data
DMRs were reviewed since the last renewal, 2009, and there were 4 permit limit violations for
BOD and TSS, last compliance violation in March 2014. There were various minor reporting
violations for not meeting the flow monitoring frequency requirement. No penalties were
accessed. Winston-Salem Regional Office completed a site inspection in February 2015 and
recommends renewing this permit.
The facility has conducted 22 chronic toxicity tests at 2.1% concentration using ceriodaphnia
since August 2009 and continues to pass all tests. As further evidence of no toxicity issues, the 4
second species chronic toxicity tests submitted with the renewal application at 2.1% using
fathead minnows were passed.

Reasonable Potential (RP) Analysis and Effluent Pollutant Scans
Metal data from DMRs and four Effluent Scans submitted since November 2010 was reviewed.
There were less than detection levels for Ar, Be, CN, Mo, Se, and Ag in the effluent samples.
A RP Analysis was performed on detected metal levels of Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, and Zn. In all
cases no reasonable potential to violate water quality standards were shown, and the predicted
value was less than 50% of the allowable concentration, therefore no changes will be made in
this permit. Monitoring as required by the Pretreatment program will continue.
The Effluent Pollutant Scans indicated detected levels of Chlorodibromomethane,
Bromodichloromethane, Chloroform, Chlorinated Phenolic Compounds, and Total Phenolic
Compounds. A RP analysis was performed on the limited data set. In all cases no reasonable
potential to violate water quality standards were shown, and the predicted value was less than
50% of the allowable concentration, therefore no further action was warranted.
See the Reasonable Potential Analysis following the fact sheet for a summary and effluent data
used in the analysis.
Mercury TMDL Evaluation
A mercury TMDL was approved by US EPA in October 2012 and was implemented in this
permit. Table IV summarizes the available mercury data used to conduct the mercury TMDL
evaluation:

Per mercury TMDL guidance, if the TBEL is more stringent than the WQBEL and there is no
exceedance by any annual average of the TBEL in the last 5 years, as in this case, then mercury
monitoring (Method 1631E) conducted in the 3 required PPAs is sufficient. Additional quarterly
mercury analyses generated as part of the modified STMP will continue. Since this facility is a
major municipal with a permitted flow less than 2 MGD, a mercury minimization plan is not
required.
High Rock Lake
A reopener special condition was added to allow implementation of the High Rock Lake nutrient
TMDL in the future.

Part II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1. a. Current permitted/design capacity of the POTW? The permitted flow is 1.5
MGD. A review of the DMRs for calendar year 2013 shows a daily average flow
of 0.55 MGD.
b. Date(s) of construction activities allowed by previous Authorizations to Construct
issued in the previous two years. None in last 5 years.
c. Please provide a description of existing or substantially constructed wastewater
treatment facilities: The 1.5 MGD permitted facility consists of the following:
* Influent lift station with mechanical screening
* 3.0 MG EQ/surge basin (not aerated -used for III events, WTP backwash & digester supernatant)
* two aeration basins, each with a single surface aerator and mixer
* two 61' secondary clarifiers (only one in service due to low influent flows)
* aerobic digester with surface mixer
* solids storage basin (not aerated)
* gas disinfection
* contact chamber
* gas dechlorination
* effluent flow meter
(note: the Davie County Cooleemee WWTP was initially built by Burlington
Industries to handle textile industrial waste. When Burlington went defunct, the
WWTP was retrofitted and downsized to handle municipal wastewater)
d. Please provide a description of proposed wastewater treatment facilities. N/A
e. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: None known. The facility has been
compliant with final NPDES effluent limits for the last three years (2011-2013).
They have passed all chronic toxicity tests for the last six years (2008-2013).
f. Pretreatment Program (POTWs only): Davie County has an active pretreatment
program for the Cooleemee WWTP. Ingersoll Rand is the only significant industrial
user (SIU).
2. Residuals handling and utilization/disposal scheme: Digested solids from the single aerobic
digester are periodically trucked 100 yards by EMA Resources to non -aerated basin "C" for
storage (see schematic attached) until the residuals can be land applied on approved fields
covered by non -discharge permit No. WQ0010583.

PART III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
WSRO recommends renewal of the Davie County/Cooleemee NPDES permit.
Just FYI -
• In 2009 all of the flow from the Town of Mocksville's Bear Creek WWTP (NC0050903)
was routed to the Davie County Cooleemee WWTP for treatment. The 0.25 MGD Bear
Creek WWTP was decommissioned and the permit was voided on 2/13/09.
• Please note that the Davie County Cooleemee WWTP does not have grit removal unit.
The reference to "grit removal" on the Permit Supplement page should be removed.
• Although the Davie County Cooleemee WWTP is located on the Rowan County side of
the South Yadkin River (territory of the Mooresville Regional Office), WSRO has always
handled this facility, presumably since the wastewater is generated in Davie County.
• The cover letter that accompanied the renewal request indicated that the facility is in the
process of running the full range fathead minnow toxicity tests. The first test was
conducted in January 2014 and three more are planned (Feb, March & April).
• A copy of the February 6, 2014 compliance inspection letter is attached.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents the results of the June 2013 groundwater monitoring activities
conducted at the Ingersoll Rand (IR) facility located at 501 Sanford Avenue in
Mocksville, North Carolina. Groundwater samples were collected from two
groundwater extraction wells as specified in Ingersoll Rand's RCRA Part B Permit (EPA
ID No. NCD0414772) issued September 16, 2011. Water levels were gauged in 44 site
wells three days prior to the sampling event, while the three groundwater extraction
wells were pumping. Following the gauging, the pumping wells were turned off.
Three days later, the site wells were gauged again during the sampling event. In this
manner, depth to groundwater was obtained under both pumping and non -pumping
conditions.
In accordance with the RCRA Part B Permit, groundwater extraction wells RA-2A and
RA-3 were the only wells sampled during the 2013 annual event. Furthermore,
tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) were the only target compounds for
laboratory analyses (per the Permit) that were performed. PCE was not detected in
either sample. TCE was detected at 212 p.g/L in RA-2A and at 351 µg/L in RA-3, which
is in the range of historical detections in these wells.
MW-11d was added to the sampling matrix as part of the 2011 Part B permit. In 2012,
MW-11d was sampled for the first time since 1993. In 1993, TCE was detected at 37
µg/L. In June 2012, the TCE concentration in MW-11d was reported at 3,920 µg/L. In
order to confirm the presence and concentration of TCE in MW-11d, this well was
resampled during: August 2012 (3,460 µg/L) and April 2013 (3,150 µg/L), verifying the
order of magnitude of the June 2012 concentration.
In January 2013, ERM sampled several bedrock monitor wells for the presence of TCE.
This event included MW-8d, MW-12d, MW-20d, EW-2, and EW-3. TCE was not
detected above laboratory reporting limits in these samples. Monitor well MW-10d was
also sampled in April 2013, with a TCE concentration of 8.4 µg/L. Based on these
sampling results, it does not appear that elevated TCE in MW-11d is coming from the
former lagoon area.
The groundwater recovery system has continued to operate since the June 2012
sampling event with IR personnel monitoring operation of the system and recording
total flow volumes from each extraction well on a monthly basis. The volume of
groundwater recovered during the 12-month period from June 15, 2012 to June 14, 2013
was 7,347,590 gallons.

Re: Davie County Cooleemee WWTP Facility
NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NC0024872
Dear Mr. Weaver:
Please renew the above referenced NPDES permit.
A process flow diagram and location map (USGS) for the facility is attached hereto.
One signed original and two copies of EPA NPDES Form 2A (with supplemental
attachments) is included herewith.
Changes since the last renewal include addition of mixers to the Aeration Basins.
Since the Cooleemee WWTP is normally sampled quarterly for chronic toxicity
(pass/fail), it has not performed the Full Range Fathead Minnow Toxicity Test required
by the EPA for permit renewal. However, Ms. Cindy Moore, Supervisor of the Aquatic
Toxicity Unity has indicated that the test may be performed monthly for the next four
months with results submitted to the ATU and the NPDES Unit on AT forms as results
are available.
Solids from the treatment facility are drawn from the aerobic digester and land applied
under contract with EMA Resources, Inc. in accordance with permit #WQ0010583.
Johnny Lambert's signature below signifies that I, John Grey, PE, am authorized to draft
and submit this application on the County's behalf and answer any questions regarding
its contents.
Please call with questions.
Sincerely,
Grey Engineering, Inc.
