FACILITY OVERVIEW:
This facility treats domestic waste from a subdivision serving a population of 323 people and also accepts
uranium -filter generated backwash from ion -exchange treatment of well water from three adjacent community
well treatment systems. The facility has a permitted flow of 0.185 MGD and as built flow rate of 0.032.
Expansion to 0.185 MGD will require an Authorization to Construct (ATC) from the Division, construction of the
expanded system in compliance with the ATC and relocation of the discharge point to outfall 002 as shown on
the site map. The current treatment system includes the following wastewater treatment components:
• influent pump station
• flow splitter
• bar screen
• flow -equalization basin
• dual (2) extended aeration basins
• dual (2) clarifiers
• sludge holding tank
• chlorination [tablet]
• dechlorinator [tablet]
• v-notch weir
• effluent -flow recording meter and sample
port
• Filter backwash from uranium filtration systems at community well treatment systems (Nantucket
Village, River Run and Willard Oaks) is transferred to the Greystone WWTP and introduced into the
influent at a rate less than 1GPM not to exceed 500 GPD.
The facility also holds collection system permit WQCSD0201. The last inspection under the collection system
permit was May 19, 2 02 2, and there were no violations. System noted as well operated and maintained.
APPLICATION
The application does not indicate any changes in the facility or treatment since the last renewal of the permit.
The treatment system is operated byAqua North Carolina, Inc. The annual average daily flow is indicated as
0.013 MGD over the last two years, so the facility is operating at well below its designed and permitted capacity.
The application and last permit noted a facility location address of Pine Creek Road but this road name is not
found on Google maps. After map review and verification with the permittee it appears that the street location
of Creek Bed Road in previous versions of the permit was correct. The facility address is 1549 Creek Bed Road,
Kernersville, NC and the permit has been changed to reflect this location.
The 2021 application does not discuss the previously permitted future expansion or the addition of well water
backwash into the treatment system from the last permit renewal/modification. This uranium filter backwash
has been noted in the components list in the draft permit along with the wells where the wastewater originates
- Nantucket Village, River Run and Willard Oaks WTPs.
INSPECTION
The most recent inspections occurred on May 19, 2022. No issues were found and the inspection indicates the
facility is well operated and maintained.
COMPLIANCE:
During the permit cycle this facility has not had any violation actions or enforcement actions. The only issues
shown in the data are TRC values over the limit, but none of these were over the compliance level.

The data reviewed for the renewal is from July 2017 through April 2022.
REVIEW OF PERMIT LIMITS AND PARAMETERS OF INTEREST:
Flow - The facility is operating on average at around 40% of the as -built flow allowed by the permit. Around
20% of the 59 monthly average flow values were above half of the as -built flow of 0.032 MGD.
BOD / TSS / Fecal/ DO / NH3-N I pH - No limit violations occurred for any of these limited parameters over
the permit cycle.
TRC- The facility reported 66 values of TRC that were over the 28µg/L limit but none of these values exceeded
the compliance threshold of 50.
Radiological Parameters of Concern - These six parameters were added in the 2017 permit renewal in response
to the addition of backwash water from the community well water treatment systems. No limit violations
occurred for any of these parameters over the permit term. Only one parameter (Alpha Emitters) has a single
data value that was more that 50% of the annual average limit. All these components did have monitoring
Greystone Subdivision WWTP Fact Sheet
NPDES Renewal 2022 - August 3, 2022, updated October 14, 2022
Page 3
results that were above the detection limit. With the continued concern for radiological parameters and the
small data set from one permit cycle, the Division does not propose to change the monitoring or limits for these
parameters in this permit renewal.
The previous permit allowed grab sampling for these parameters. However, in accordance with rule 15A N CAC
2B .0505, since this facility has an as -built flow of above 30,000 GPD the sampling should be conducted as
composite sampling and this change has been made in the draft permit. One other change in the permit is the
correction of the appropriate discharge limit for Strontium. The previous permit set this at an average annual
limit of 30 µg/L. Based on the Division's December 5, 2006 memo on Disposal of Wastewater from Private
Water Supply Wells and 15A NCAC 2B .0211, the Strontium limit has been corrected to 8 pCi/L annual average.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) - An RPA analysis was conducted for Copper, Lead, Zinc, Chloride and
Uranium. These parameters were all added in the 2017 permit renewal in response to the addition of the well
water treatment system filter backwash to the Greystone Treatment System. Data has now been collected
through the last permit term so that the RPA can be considered for these parameters. Results of this
spreadsheet analysis are included later in this Fact Sheet and results are summarized below. The RPA analaysis
was preformed using the RPA spreadsheet and was run for the current outfall (001) and future outfall 002. The
flow numbers used for each were:

For 0.032 MGD permitted flow at Outfall 001
- Copper - The copper data showed reasonable potential. The draft permit includes copper limits
based on the RPA results with a daily max of 38.7 µg/L and a monthly average of 25.8 µg /L.
Monitoring frequency has also been changed to monthly.
- Lead - Lead data did not show reasonable potential and none of the values was greater than 50% of
the predicted maximum. With this evaluation, monitoring for Lead has been removed from the draft
permit.
- Zinc - The zinc data showed reasonable potential. The draft permit includes zinc limits based on the
RPA results with a daily max of 407.4 µg /L and a monthly average of 410.7 µg /L. Monitoring
frequency has also been changed to monthly.
- Chloride - Chlorides did not exhibit reasonable potential, but the predicted maximum value is
greater than 50% of the allowable maximum. So, quarterly monitoring will remain in the permit.
- Uranium - Uranium did not exhibit reasonable potential, but the predicted maximum value is greater
than 50% of the allowable maximum and the predicted max is two-thirds of the allowable maximum.
Based on the data results in this cycle and the continued concerns for radiological parameters the
Division does not propose to change the required monitoring at his time and the uranium limit will
remain in place.
For 0.185 MGD permitted flow at Outfall 002
- Copper - The copper data showed reasonable potential. The draft permit establishes copper limits
based on the RPA results with a daily max of 59.8 µg/L and a monthly average of 43.6 µg /L.
- Lead - Lead data did not show reasonable potential and none of the values was greater than 50% of
the predicted maximum. With this evaluation, monitoring for Lead has been removed from the draft
permit.
- Zinc - The zinc data showed reasonable potential. The draft permit establishes zinc limits based on
the RPA results with a daily max of 646.1 µg /L and a monthly average of 695.7 µg /L.
- Chloride - Chlorides did not exhibit reasonable potential, and none of the values was greater than
50% of the predicted maximum. With this evaluation, monitoring for Chloride has been removed
from the draft permit.
- Uranium - Uranium did not exhibit reasonable potential, and none of the values was greater than
50% of the predicted maximum. Given the continued concerns for radiological parameters the
Division does not propose to change the required monitoring at his time and the uranium limit will
remain in place.

Whole Effluent Toxicity (WETS - All WET test results passed during the permit cycle and did not exhibit
potential toxicity impacts. Toxicity requirements will remain in the permit to continue to assess the potential
impacts of the filter backwash wastewater addition. There is one change in the WET monitoring requirements
for the 0.032 MGD effluent discharge. WET toxicity limitations and monitoring requirements are based on the
instream waste concentration (IWC). The IWC is calculated based on the upstream stream flow during 7Q10
conditions and the permitted wasteflow. In the 2017 permit an incorrect 7Q10 flow was utilized in establishing
these requirements. The summer 7Q10 flow for this stream segment is zero (0) and the IWC is 100%. By
Division policy with an IWC of 100 the WET test should be conducted at an effluent concentration of 90% rather
than the 38% that the previous permit include. This change has been made in the draft permit.

SUPPLEMENT TO FACT SHEET
During the process to finalize the permit Division staff noticed that there was an oversight in the review of the
DMR data. Evaluations of Chlorides data showed that there was reasonable potential for the Chlorides values to
impact water quality. As such, the draft permit should have included effluent limits for Total Chlorides. The
final permit addresses this issue by including the necessary limits for Chlorides of 230 mg/L as a Daily Max and a
Monthly Average limit. During this permit cycle monitoring will be required and the limits will be postponed
until the next permit cycle.
The permittee submitted comments on the draft permit in an email and attachment that we received from Joe
Pearce on September 9, 2022. In the comments Aqua questioned whether they had been able to view the
complete permit file. Hard copy information was reviewed by Mr. Pearce Division offices and the draft permit
and Fact Sheet were emailed to the permittee. These represented the complete permit file. Aqua also requested a
native version of the Reasonable Potential Analysis Spreadsheet. The Division does not provide this spreadsheet
in a native excel format outside our agency. In the fact sheet, the data used in the analysis and the results of the
RPA have been provided.
Aqua comments outlined concerns with meeting the Cu and Zn limits in the two-year compliance timeframe
allowed in the draft permit and requested additional time to review potential sources, make potential adjustments
and monitor the results of actions taken. In the comments Aqua requested that the Division either postpone
implementation of the limits until the next permit cycle or include the proposed schedule of actions spelled out in
their comment letter. The Division appreciates these comments and the permittees efforts to comply with the
Greystone Subdivision WWTP Fact Sheet
NPDES Renewal 2022 — August 3, 2022, updated October 14, 2022
Page 6
permit conditions and agrees with the request to postpone the permit limit implementation until the next permit
cycle. The permit still includes the limits as an indication of the expectations for the next renewal. The permit
also includes general requirements for Aqua to provide annual reports on actions taken in review, assessment, and
implementation toward meeting these limits down the road. These reports should address actions taken related to
all three parameters scheduled for limits in the future (Cu, Zn and Chlorides).
A few additional minor changes of note relate to changes to monitoring frequency, effluent table footnote changes
and schedule of compliance are summarized below.
• The monitoring frequency for Total Hardness has been changed to monthly to be consistent with
monitoring frequency for metals.
• The monitoring frequency for Total Chlorides has been changed to monthly to be consistent with the
requirements associated with the addition of Total Chlorides limits.
• Footnote 10 has been updated to reflect limits not imposed during this permit cycle and to reference added
Special Conditions in Section A. (6).
• Since metals are now monitored monthly Footnote 7 has now been duplicated as Footnote 12 to reflect the
same condition on a quarterly basis for radiological parameters.
• Section A. (6) has been added to address a schedule of compliance for Cu, Zn and Chlorides.

Joe,
It doesn't appear that there is anything in the Non -Discharge rules that is specifically for individual properties like you
seemed to be talking about. As you look more into those details for sources from individual homeowner systems (if you
could separate them) or from the community wells or other areas you might want to talk directly with the non -discharge
staff about any alternatives that might be available for you.

Amanda, Joe
I just wanted to touch base on this renewal with one issue we have noticed and in response to your comments.
First of all, in review of our RPA analysis we realized that Chlorides data also exhibited Reasonable Potential for water
quality impacts. You will note in the Fact Sheet you received that the maximum predicted Chlorides value was higher
than the allowed value which leads to application of a limit. Sorry that I overlooked that previously. In this case the
Chlorides limit will beset at 230 mg/L as a Daily Max and a Monthly Average. We plan to handle this limit like the limits
for Cu and Zn so the limit will not be effective during this permit cycle but monitoring will be required.
In your comments and in our previous discussion we had looked at the possibilities of delaying the Cu and Zn limits to
allow Aqua to review sources, do additional monitoring and evaluate the process for compliance with the limits. The
Division is in agreement with your proposal to postpone the limits until the next permit cycle. Our plan at this point is to
move forward with very general language in the permit that does note the limits, but only requires monitoring at this
time. The permit would also require annual reports from Aqua on your findings as you look at issues toward meeting
the limits in the future. This will allow you more flexibility than spelling out the specific actions and timeframes as you
had included as a second potential option in your comments.

Re: Comments on Draft NPDES Permit NCO078115
Greystone Subdivision WWTP
Forsyth County
Dear Mr. Bennett:
On behalf of Aqua North Carolina (Aqua) I appreciate the opportunity to provide comment
on the above -referenced draft permit for the Greystone Wastewater Treatment Plant
(WWTP) and raise concerns about the proposed imposition of new limits for copper and
zinc, and the reduced dilution allowance for Whole Effluent Toxicity. As you know, Aqua
requested a complete file review and a copy of the Reasonable Potential Analysis in its
native format. As of this date, it does not appear we have received access to the complete
file or the Reasonable Potential Analysis in its native format (Excel). As such, we cannot
verify that the 7Q10 was reduced based upon new or appropriate information, or that
errors in the calculation of the reasonable potential analysis do not exist.
Aside from questions regarding validation of the reasonable potential analysis, Aqua also
has concerns regarding the feasibility to meet the proposed copper and zinc limits. the
Greystone WWTP is designed for the treatment of conventional pollutants (BOD5, TSS,
and Ammonia -Nitrogen) and is not designed for the removal of metals. The proposed two-
year timeframe to complete improvements prior to the effective date of the limits is
insufficient. During a recent discussion with you and John Hennessey, neither of you
provided any insight regarding treatment technologies used for removing metals from
similar small wastewater treatment plants. Large wastewater treatment plants are
required to evaluate and/or reduce their metal discharge concentrations through the
control of discharges from significant and categorical industrial users. However, typical of
small wastewater treatment plants, Greystone WWTP primarily receives domestic
wastewater and the periods of higher copper and zinc concentrations in the effluent may
not correlate with the discharge of the hauled backwash water, nor may be effectively
reduced by eliminating that waste stream.

Aqua strives for one -hundred percent compliance and has shown significant improvement
in our wastewater treatment plant compliance in the last four years. I trust that NCDEQ/
DWR appreciates Aqua's efforts and does not wish to create a non-compliance situation
for Aqua without sufficient opportunity to study the issue and to implement a solution.
Aqua proposes to undertake the following:
1. Characterize each of the hauled wastewater sources to determine if those are
significant sources of the pollutants of concern (within three months of permit
issuance).
2. Review the corrosion control technology used for the water supply and determine
if a better alternative exists (within six months of permit issuance).
3. Based upon mass balances for the pollutants of concern, Aqua will determine if
source control for the pollutants of concern will reliably meet the proposed limits.
Examples of source control would be cessation of the hauled backwash water
contribution, or implementation of an improved corrosion control strategy (within
18 months of permit issuance). Source control is the preferred solution, but
dependent upon the source being controlled it may be many months before the
results are witnessed. Specifically, the formation of corrosion -protecting scale in
home plumbing is not instantaneous.
4. Aqua would monitor the concentrations of the pollutants of concern monthly as
prescribed by the permit and would statistically evaluate the data for changes
between the original condition and after source control. If the data is statistically
different, Aqua will submit the data to NCDEQ in support of a permit modification
to remove the subject permit limits. (within 48 months of permit issuance).
5. Concurrent with Item 4 above, Aqua will complete treatability evaluations for the
removal of the pollutants of concern. If these pollutants of concern are in a soluble
chelate form, treatment will be challenging and may require a process separate
from the existing wastewater treatment plant process. To Aqua's knowledge, there
is no domestic wastewater treatment facility in North Carolina operating a
wastewater treatment plant of this type and concerns would exist for Aqua
operating one of our facilities with this level of treatment. If needed to meet the
proposed permit limits, Aqua would complete treatability study, design, permitting,
and construction (within 60 months of permit issuance).
Aqua requests that you consider the option of either: (i) postponement of the
implementation of the new and revised limits until the next permit cycle with the known
expectation that these limits will be implemented; or (ii) incorporation of the proposal
above as a schedule within the permit.
Lastly, please be aware that our submission of these comments does not preclude the
right of permit appeal for the above stated reasons, or other reasons yet to be announced
or discovered. We are available to discuss these comments, and please feel free to
contact me at (919) 605-6991.

Hi Bradley —
Apologies on the delayed response. This required some investigation.
In early 2021, Aqua migrated to a new compliance software. The constituent library for zinc, lead, and copper was
updated to reflect drinking water limits which has been converting the lab data to mg/L. I have spoken to our developer
and they are making the necessary adjustments to update our existing data and ensure correct reporting limits in the
future. This impacts all Aqua's utilities, even other states.
Attached is your updated file with the correct values reported in ug/L. Note, I updated lead to reflect < 5ug/L. All
samples were reported as ND.
Once again, apologies on this oversite. Please let me know if you discover any other permit applications that were
effected by this software error.
Thank you,
Amanda

Hey Laurie,
I have another question from my review for Greystone. Looking at the data that has been submitted it appears that for
a few parameters you have been reporting mg/L instead of µg/L. I have attached a spreadsheet showing the values that
are in question for Copper, Lead and Zinc. The ones highlighted in green may be ones that you indicated µg/L but may
have actually reported the value in mg/L. For the others in yellow, since these values are lower than other values over
time, can you verify that they are actually reported in mg/L? I need to be assured of the values as I am running the
Reasonable Potential Analysis.
These values should be reported consistently as µg/L.
Thanks for looking at this.

Hi Laurie,
Just wanted to check on the address for the location of the treatment plant. You indicated 1519 Creek Bed Road. See
the screen shots from Google below. These may not be accurate, but if they are then should the address be 1549? The
Thanks

Bradley,
The location of the WWTP is 1519 Creek Bed Road.
The backwash water is coming from Nantucket Village, River Run & Willard Oaks WTPs. The
systems filter for radium or uranium.
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.

Hey Guys,
I am working on the draft permit for Greystone Subdivision now. I had a couple of quick questions for you on it.
• The permit, application, etc. reference a location of Pine Creek Road for this one, but I'm wondering if that is
correct. I can't actually find a Pine Creek Road in Kernersville and from some maps it looks like this may actually
be on Creek Bed Road?
• In the last permit renewal you guys added some backwash water from water treatment systems for community
wells to discharge this facility discharge. I didn't see anything in our files that identified the well systems that
this wastewater is coming from. I'd like to add information about the treatment systems at these wells as part
of the treatment system components in the permit if you could pass along brief info along?
Also, as an update, we have the Briarwood Subdivision WWTP draft permit ready and it should go to public notice next
week.
Thanks
