A.(8.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The Permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the North
Carolina Procedure Document entitled Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A Single
Effluent Concentration (Revised -July, 1992 or subsequent versions). Analyses shall be performed as a
Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24-hour static test. This facility's effluent concentration at which
there may be no time -significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the procedure
document). The Permittee shall collect self -monitoring samples immediately effluent to all combined
treatment processes with the intent to provide samples representative of the facility's discharge. The
tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September, and December.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code
TGE6C. Additionally, DWR Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Section
NCDENR /Division of Water Resources
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental 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 and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in
association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the
effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the
waste stream.
No Flow — 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 Section at the address cited above.
Test Failures/ Follow-up Testing -- Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet
specified limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is
passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified
above. Should the Permittee fail to monitor during an assigned month, then monthly monitoring will
begin immediately and continue until a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test
requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of
such monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR &
all AT Forms submitted.
WARNING: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control -organism survival or 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. Should any test data, from either these monitoring requirements 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.

Renewal Request
Dear Mr. Weaver,
Please find enclosed the permit renewal application along with the necessary attachments. Please consider this letter as our
official request to renew the NPDES permit for the facility referenced above.
We would remind the Division that a Special Order of Consent has just been implemented (EMC SOC WQ S11-005) and of
which certain provisions stipulate the membership in the Neuse River Compliance Association and the re -permitting of the Total
Nitrogen parameter into their NPDES permit.
In addition, we ask for a correction in the spelling of the facility's name which should be `Fairfield Harbour WWTP' (Harbour is
spelt with a "u").
If you should have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at 704-319-0517 or by
email at mjlashua©uiwater.com. Thank you in advance for your attention.

Sludge Management Plan
To Whom It May Concern,
As sludge and other solids are generated at this facility, they are periodically removed by a local contract hauler, GDS of New
Bern and sent to the Craven County Landfill. If this contractor is unavailable, there are other contractors that we may use to
perform this service.
If you should have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at 704-319-0517 or by
email at [e-mail]
Thank you in advance for your attention.
