1. Sample locations: E-Effluent, I -Influent, U-CSX R.R. Trestle (above plant), D-Downstream at SR 1554.
Stream samples shall be collected three times per week during June, July, August, and September and once
per week during the remaining months of the year.
2. The monthly average effluent BOD; and Total Suspended Solids concentrations shall not exceed 15 percent
of the respective monthly average influent value (85% removal).
3. The daily average dissolved oxygen concentration in the effluent shall not fall below 5.0 mg/L.
4. TRC monitoring and effluent limitations apply only if chlorine is added to disinfect.
5. Effluent samples collected for mercury must be analyzed by EPA Method 1631 beginning December 1, 2004.
6. Chronic Toxicity (Ceriodaphnia) P/F at 1.7%; January, April, July, and October. See Special Condition
A.(2.) of the Supplement to Effluent Limitations. Quarterly sampling shall be conducted at the same time as
metals sampling.
7. See Condition A.(4.) of this permit.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or .visible foam in other than trace amounts.

A (2). CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at
an effluent concentration of 1.7%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina
Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II
Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed
during the months of January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing 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 -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no
detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction
or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are
specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) 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, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch 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 Environmental Sciences Branch 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.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality 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.
A (3). MERCURY REOPENER
The Division may re -open this permit to require mercury load limitations, mercury minimization plans, and/or source water
characterization following completion of the Phase 2 Mercury 2 TMDLs for the Lumber and Waccamaw River watersheds.

BACKGROUND
The Pembroke WWTP (Class III) has a permitted flow of 1.33 MGD. Pembroke receives 100%
domestic waste and has no pretreatment program. The Permittee has submitted a request for
renewal of its permit and has completed the required pollutant analysis and toxicity testing. No
changes to the permit are requested with the renewal.
This facility discharges to the Lumber River in subbasin 03-07-51. The receiving waters are
classified WS-IV B SW HQW at this point, and are listed as impaired on the 2003 303d list
based on a fish advisory for mercury.

Compliance
The facility received one NOV for exceeding permit limits since its last renewal; the weekly
average for fecal coliform was exceeded in September 2003. The facility has been in compliance
with its toxicity limit for this entire permit term.
Fact Sheet
NPDES NC0027103 Renewal
Page 1

Correspondence
The Fayetteville Regional Office (FRO) conducted several site visits during this permit term to
evaluate compliance. A Staff Report was also prepared in conjunction with the permit renewal.
FRO finds the facility to be in compliance with the NPDES permit and recommends renewal.
Instream Data
The facility performs instream monitoring for temperature and dissolved oxygen. Recorded
values for the last two years show that at no time was the downstream DO level less than the
upstream level by 10% or greater. Temperature levels downstream varied by greater than 10%
only one time in the past two years.
PERMITTING STRATEGY
Waste Load Allocation (WLA)
The Division prepared the last WLA in 1994. The previous and current effluent limits were based
on guidelines and water quality standards. The Division has judged previous parameters and
limits to be appropriate for renewal with some exceptions. Changes to toxicant monitoring are
discussed in the Reasonable Potential Analysis section. Weekly average ammonia limits based
on a 3:1 ratio with the monthly average will be implemented in this permit. This is a new
statewide policy that resulted from EPA requirements. The resulting weekly average limit will
be 35.0 mg/L. In addition, an annual pollutant scan will be added such that the Permittee can
collect the necessary data required by EPA Form 2A throughout the permit teniu. This condition
is now standard on all major municipal permits in North Carolina.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
Mercury is the only metal considered a parameter of concern for this facility. All reported values
(2002-3002) for mercury were <0.0002 mg/1. However, mercury will remain as a requirement
(monitoring only) due to the impaired status of the receiving waters. Sludge values for mercury
were recorded in 2002 as 1.1 mg/kg and in 2003 as 2.6 mg/kg and 1.2 mg/kg. These low sludge
values confirm that mercury is not present in the facility's wastewater in significant amounts.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
In keeping with Division policies, the following will be incorporated into the permit:
• New weekly average ammonia limit
Annual pollutant scan
• Sludge monitoring for mercury will no longer be required per current permitting strategy for
permit renewals in the Lumber River Basin.
• Special condition for mercury (re -opener clause) added per Division permitting strategy.
• Low-level monitoring with EPA Method 1631 required

RE: Town of Pembroke WWTP Flood Elevations
Please find attached the hydraulic profile taken from a set of plans at our
office. They are not marked as-builts but they do show that the 100 year
elevation at the Lumber River is 155.00 and that all the treatment units are
above this elevation by at least 5 feet. The lowest unit is the cascade
aerator with a top of wall of 160.5 at the low end. The invert into the
cascade is shown as 159.09 so the water level should not surcharge any of
the treatment units during the 100 year flood.

The facility has a 500,000gallon digester and an 80,000gallon sludge holding basin for sludge
management. Sludge is aerobically digested to meet vector and pathogen reduction. Once the digester is
full, decanting is complete; testing begins for class B Sludge. After testing, sludge is land applied under
permit WQ0013729. This is normally a six-month process. The sludge holding basin is for extra storage.
If you have further questions please contact the facility at 910-521-2989.
Sincerely,
Maiuffie Cummings
