Dear Mr. Williams:

April 1. 2004
Subject: Permit Modification Correction
NPDES Permit NC0047384
T.Z. Osborne WWTP
Guilford County
The Division issued a Final Permit dated 12/ 11 /02 for this facility, which was contested by the permittee. A
Settlement Agreement dated 1/8/04 was subsequently reached, which resulted in a permit modification dated
3/15/04 that changed the mercury limit compliance schedule from 1 / 1 /04 to 10/ 1 /04. Since the Settlement
Agreement and Permit Modification ultimately activate all other requirements of the 2002 Final Permit, we are
correcting the new permit effective date to 5/1/04. By setting the effective date to the first day of a month, all
monitoring frequency requirements and limits will remain constant for the month. This corrected effective date
will also provide the necessary lead time for the permittee to schedule for additional monitoring requirements
associated with the new permit. A new Permit Cover Sheet with the corrected permit effective date is attached.
If you have any questions concerning this permit correction, please contact Tom Belnick at telephone number
(919) 733-5083, extension 543.

Subject: Issuance of Permit Modification
NPDES Permit NC0047384
T.Z. Osborne WWTP
Guilford County
Division staff have reviewed and approved your application for an NPDES permit modification. Accordingly, the
Division is forwarding the subject NPDES permit modification, which 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 May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended). Please replace the old
Effluent Sheet with the modified pages.
This permit modification, effective immediately, involves the following changes to the current permit:
• Mercury Compliance Schedule. As a condition of the Settlement Agreement dated 1/8/04, the
compliance schedule for the mercury limit in the Final Permit (issued December 11, 2002) has been
modified from 1 / 1 /04 to 10/ 1 /04. As previously indicated, this effluent limit may be deleted in the
future, if the permittee provides updated effluent data that shows no reasonable potential to exceed
applicable water quality standards.
• Delete Effluent Sheet for 30 MGD. The Engineer's Certificate for completion of the upgrade to 40 MGD
(letter dated 10/ 1 /2003) has been received by the Division. Thus, the old 30 MGD Effluent Sheet is no
longer applicable.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit modification 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 a demand is made, this permit modification shall be
final and binding_
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division
of Water Quality, the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act, or any other federal or local
governmental permit.
If you have any questions concerning this permit modification, please contact Tom Belnick at telephone number
(919) 733-5083, extension 543.

North Buffalo WWTP), and the T.Z. Osborne Waste Water Treatment Plant located at 23501-1uffine

to operate the North Buffalo
and, pending resolution of the parties' disputes, the City has continued

Permit Renewals (as amended by this Settlement Agreement) for a period of six months, beginning

mercury of effluent from both WWTPs beginning October 1, 2003.
4. Except as amended by this Settlement Agreement, the Permit Renewals are effective
as of March 1, 2004, and on and after that date, the City will operate the North Buffalo WWTP

in this Settlement Agreement. Promptly after the last weekly mercury analytical result is repot
for both WWTPs pursuant to Paragraph 3, the Department will perform a reasonable pote
analysis for each W'WTP separately to determine whether, based on the six months of mercury
analytical data, there is a reasonable potential for a future violation of the mercury effluent limit (the
Mercury Limit, i.e., the mercury effluent limit established in the Permit Renewals) at each W WTP
(an RP Analysis). if the RP Analysis shows there may be a reasonable potential for a future violation
of the Mercury Limit at a WWTP and if the City so requests, the Department Agrees to perform a

required to continue to operate that WWTP pursuant to the applicable Permit Renewal (as amended
