Permit No. NC0025984
SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A (2). CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERL}7
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in
the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised November
1995, or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 18.0% (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). The permit
holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the
permit condition. 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.
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 TGP3B. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following
address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, North Carolina 27607
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.
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 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 a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,
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 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). WATER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION
Upon expansion of the Forest City Water Treatment Plant above 8 MGD, Forest City shall
request modification of NPDES permit number NC0025984 to incorporate new limits for
conventional pollutants and toxicants.

Summary
This is a Major Class IV municipal facility with an approved pretreatment program (4
SIUs). Influent to WWTP is 70% industrial and 30% domestic. Average daily
industrial flow equals 3.15 MGD, which includes textiles, food processing, and rubber
processing. The Town of Alexander Mills (NC0020320) is tentatively scheduled to
cease discharge and connect to the Forest City WWTP by October 1998, adding up to
0.2 MGD of primarily domestic wastewater. Sludge residuals are land -applied. A TRC
limit (28 ug/l) was previously added when the facility expanded from 4.25 MGD to 4.95
MGD.
DMR Data. Between 5/98 and 6/97, the facility reported permit limit violations for
$OD (3 Daily Max ); TSS (11 Daily Max, 1 Monthly Average); and Fecal Coliforms (1
Monthly Average, 1 Weekly Average). The exceedance of BOD/TSS daily limits
should be reduced in the future, since permit renewal will change the daily max limit to
a weekly average per policy for municipal POTWs. High fecal coliform counts appear
more frequently during wet weather. Forest City WWTP has consistently passed its
quarterly chronic WET test since 1990. Passing scores were recorded for quarterly
samples submitted in calendar years 1990, 91, 92, and 93. Review of recent data (1/96 —
4/98) indicates passing scores for 9 of 10 quarterly samples.
WLA/Receiving Stream Data. A 1994 WLA evaluated the facility with an 8 MGD
withdrawal by the upstream water treatment plant (WTP). This WLA predicted a DO
minimum of 5.08 mg/1 occurring 1.6 miles below J.C. Cowan's outfall, and established
WQ-based limits based on oxygen consumption for BOD5 (25.5 mg/1), NH3 (10 mg/1),
and DO (6 mg/1). Although the 1994 toxicant analysis for NH3 recommended more
stringent limits (3.5 mg/1 for summer and 6.87 mg/1 for winter), these toxicity limits
were not applied in the current permit because Forest City has consistently passed its
chronic toxicity test. The 1994 WLA also evaluated several future WTP withdrawal
scenarios (8 MGD-current permit, 10 MGD, and 12 MGD ); the current permit has a
reopener condition that requires Forest City to request a permit mod (for re-evaluation of
permit limits) if and when the WTP withdraws greater than 8 MGD.
Review of DMR instream data for 5/98-5/97 indicates minimal downstream impacts on
dissolved oxygen (DO), with instream levels generally greater than 7 mg/1.
Occasionally, some daily instream measurements show increased fecal coliform
Page 2
Version: July 30, 1998

concentrations at the downstream station; however, upstream concentrations are also
relatively elevated.
Stream class verified as WS-IV (Classified 8/3/92; Index No. 9-41-(14.5)). Second
Broad River is not listed in 1998 303(d) List.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA). LTMP data (1996-1998) was supplemented by
tMR data for the same period to perform RPA when needed. Those parameters NOT
requiring an RPA (or effluent limits/monitoring) were:
Arsenic- detected in 1 /25 samples; "hit" of 5 ug/1 «WQS(50 ug/1)
Cadmium- detected in 0/24 samples; DL<WQS(2 ug/1)
Chromium- detected in 4/24 samples; 3 "hits" at DL of 5 ug/1«WQS(50 ug/1)
Nickel- detected in 1/24 samples; "hit" of l0ug/1 at DL< WQS (25 ug/1, WS waters)
Selenium -detected in 2/24 samples; "hits" near DL of 5 ug/1; WQS = 5 ug/1
Molybdenum- detected in 2/24 samples; "hits" at DL of 2 ug/1; no WQS or AL
RPA using 7Q10 flow was conducted for lead, zinc, mercury, copper, cyanide, and
silver; RPA using 30Q2 flow was conducted for phenol (aesthetic limit). Results are
attached. Based on RPA results, an effluent limit was added for mercury, and removed
for cyanide. Monitoring only was recommended for cyanide, copper, silver, and phenol.
No monitoring was recommended for lead and zinc. According to Pretreatment Unit,
mercury has been a problem in this area, with an unknown source; Pretreatment concurs
with the addition of a mercury limit.
Staff Report. A SR was prepared by Asheville RO on 5/6/98. The ARO recommends
permit renewal, and a change in the BOD/TSS limits from daily max to weekly
averages. ARO also recommends that the reopener condition (for future WTP
expansion) be maintained in the permit renewal. In 1997, the facility received favorable
ARO reviews for both the Pretreatment Compliance Inspection and the Compliance
Sampling Inspection.

Dear Mr. Goodrich:
La
co
This letter is in response to the NPDES DRAFT PERMIT for tftp
Town of Forest City WWTP. The most important concern to thL1
Town is with the limit requirement for Mercury.
cn
In the past,1990 through 1994, Forest City was required to 3
perform an Annual Priority Pollutant Scan and in each.moni-N-
toring event mercury was found to be less than detectable. ••
Since then, through the Pretreatment Program and the Head- cd
works Analysis of 1993 more monitoring of mercury has been
completed. Most of the results were below detection which
led Forest City to believe there was not a problem.
Mr. Goodrich, Forest City respectfully requests that the
Mercury limit not be imposed at this time and that time be
given to intensify monitoring at the frequency you have
suggested. Work has already begun to locate the source/
sources of mercury.
Forest City is due a new Headworks Analysis this year which
would already have been completed except that the Pretreat-
ment Sections' Melanie Bryson and Forest City felt we
should wait because the Town of Alexander Mills will be
sending its' wastewater to Forest City on Oct. 1,1998 and
should be included in the Headworks Analysis.
Mr. Roger Edwards out of the Asheville Regional Office and
Forest City have talked about mercury and we realize that
much work lies ahead in locating the sources. Laboratories
that perform mercury testing are also of concern and sample
splitting must be done as a quality control check.
In closing I simply ask that you give us time to monitor
without imposing the mercury limit.
Respectfully,
A.4".-)
