Ross, Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality May 31, 2006 Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance Permit No. NC0060534 Brevard WWTP Transylvania County Dear Mr. Byers: Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. 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 May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended). The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has drafted a revised NPDES permit for the above referenced facility. The final permit includes discharge limitations /or monitoring for flow, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), fecal coliform bacteria, total residual chlorine, total copper, total silver, total zinc and chronic toxicity. The following modifications have been made in this permit: ■ Quarterly effluent monitoring will be required for total copper, total silver, and total zinc based on results of the reasonable potential analysis that indicated the potential to exceed the North Carolina action level standard for these parameters. • Total Suspended Residue has been changed to Total Suspended Solids in A. (1). The modifications in the November 9, 2005 draft permit remain: NorthCarolina ,Naturally North Carolina Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Phone (919) 733-7015 Customer Service Internet: www ncwaterqualitv.org Location: 512 N.

Weekly monitoring should be done at all other times during the year (Administrative Code 2B.0508). 3. Requirement applies only if chlorine is added for disinfection. See A. (4). 4. Whole effluent toxicity shall be measured using the chronic toxicity (Ceriodaphnia) P/F test at 2.4%. Tests should be performed in January, April. July and October. See A. (2). 5. The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units and shall be monitored daily at the effluent by grab sample. 6. Effluent Pollutant Scan shall be conducted annually. Refer to Condition A. (3). The daily average dissolved oxygen effluent concentration shall not be less than 5.0 mg/l. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. Permit NC0060534 A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY TESTING (QUARTERLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnin dubia at an effluent concentration of 2.4%. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, auarterlu 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 11 Chronic Whole Effluent Tonicity 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: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section 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 (All 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. Permit NC0060534 A. (3.) Effluent Pollutant Scan The permittee shall perform an annual Effluent Pollutant Scan for all parameters listed in the table below (in accordance with 40 CFR Part 136). The annual effluent pollutant scan samples shall represent seasonal (summer, winter, fall, spring) variations over the 5-year permit cycle.

IX AMENDMENT TO THE FACTSHEET Facility submitted a completed application on March 16, 2006, which included PPA data. An RPA was done although the dataset was limited to three datapoints per parameter. See attached. Based on the RPA results for copper, silver, and zinc, although max. predicted values exceeded acute allowable concentrations, quarterly monitoring is recommended. These three parameters have NC action level standards, in addition there have been no chronic toxicity violations. Quarterly effluent monitoring is recommended to allow sufficient data collection at the next permit renewal. Total phenolic compounds were sampled however the receiving stream is not classified as a water supply, therefore no effluent limit or monitoring will be required. (Note: The phenolic compounds standard only applies to WS class stream classifications.) Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate was detected, however this is a laboratory contaminant and is not discharged from the facility. No effluent limit or monitoring is recommended for this substance. PROPOSED CHANGES TO PERMIT • The inclusion of quarterly monitoring for copper, zinc, and silver based on RPA of partial dataset that showed that all three parameters had reasonable potential to exceed the NC action level standard. `7r7247ztrii 6, Fact Sheet NPDES N00060534 Renewal Page 4 REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS Brevard WWTP NC060534 Time Period Qw (MGD) 2.5 7Q 10S (cfs) 161 7Q 10W (cfs) 0 30Q2 (cfs) 264 Avg.

The current permitted design flow is 2.5 MGD. The discharge averaged 1.43 MGD over the last three years (or about 57% of permitted capacity). The facility discharges into the French Broad River, which has been reclassified to B waters for the protection of primary recreation. The treatment plant receives 100% domestic wastewater and does not have a pretreatment program. The facility submitted its application for renewal without the required three priority pollutant analyses and 1 additional 2nd species toxicity tests. The facility has submitted 3 alternative tests to the Environmental Sciences Section. There were three 7 day chronic tests using fathead minnows on 10/10/04, 1/9/2005 and 4/3/2005. RECEIVING STREAM The receiving stream is the French Broad River and is classified B in the French Broad River Basin. It is not listed on the draft 2004 or the 2002 303d impaired streams list. The French Broad River is fully supporting its uses. TOXICITY TESTING Current requirements: At 2.5 MGD, Chronic toxicity P/F at 2.4%: Jan Apr Jul Oct A review of submitted chronic Ceriodaphnia toxicity tests shows that the facility has passed all tests since April 2001. Recommendation: Renew the existing chronic toxicity test @ 2.4% Fact. Shect. :'> �i...1)l1Ci`.)I)•>F} Rellt.wal COMPLIANCE SUMMARY Facility has had some compliance issues in the past two - three years. Violations with TSS limits, TRC monitoring, and fecal coliform have occurred in 2003, 2004 and 2005. Assessments of approximately $ 5500 have been issued in the past three years. There have been collections of $2710 of these penalties by the Division. Overall compliance with most of the permitted limits is good. Compliance evaluation inspections noted that overall plant condition was satisfactory, however there did need to be some removal of equipment from the facility grounds as noted in the September 2005 report. INSTREAM MONITORING Facility monitors instream for fecal coliform, upstream and downstream of the outfall. A review of instream data from the critical months in 2003 through 2005 show that some violations of the fecal standard of 200/ 100m1 have occurred both upstream and downstream of the outfall in June, July, and August 2005 (flooding occurred in mid June). Instream monitoring data in 2004 showed violations of the fecal standard downstream of the outfall in September 2004 (flooding occurred in mid September). Upstream violations occurred in April, May, June and August 2004. Violations upstream and downstream of the outfall occurred in July 2004. Instream monitoring data in 2003 showed violations of the fecal standard occurred upstream of the outfall in September 2003. Violations upstream and downstream occurred in July and August 2003. The fecal coliform standard was met all other months of the year. RPA RESULTS No reasonable potential analysis was conducted due to the fact that no PPAs submitted. There is the assumption that due to 100% domestic wastewater, there will be no additional pollutants of concern however, the additional data must be submitted in order to make that evaluation. A complete RPA review will be done when the PPA data is submitted. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES • The addition of a total residual chlorine limit of 28 ug/1 based on Division procedure of dischargers into NC waters.. Facility will be given 18 months to comply with limit. • The addition of an annual effluent pollutant scan based on EPA requirements for municipal dischargers with greater than 1.0 MGD design flow.

A.2 says the IWC is 2.4%, but the table at the beginning of the fact sheet says 2.5%. 3. assume Method 1631E will be required for Hg, since the applicant used Method 245.1 in the permit application. Is that correct? Regarding comments on Brevard 1. Will change "residue" to "solids." 2. The correct IWC for the facility is 2.4%. Will correct on the factsheet. 3. NC has indicated in the procedure for Hg limitations and monitoring that Method 1631E is required only for dischargers where the IWC is 6% or greater. Because the IWC for Brevard is 2.4% and less than 6%, Method 1631 will not be required for the Brevard WWTP.
