December 22, 2006
Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit
Permit No. NCO024210
High Point Eastside WWTP
Guilford County
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).
In your letter dated October 10, 2006, you requested that the phosphorus limit be modified to a
quarterly or seasonal average and to have the limit expressed as a mass limit. The phosphorus
limit is tied to the Randleman Reservoir reclassification rules and the Environmental Impact
Statement prepared by the Piedmont Triad Water Authority. The phosphorus limit was established
after a modeling analysis was performed and a Watershed Management Strategy was developed
along with the EIS. Tetra Tech developed the model in 1997. During the review process several
options were evaluated as alternatives for nutrient controls. The option presented to the
Environmental Management Commission and subsequently approved by them was to relocate the
discharge to the Deep River near Freeman Mill implementing a monthly average total phosphorus
limit of 0.5 mg/1. This option predicted an average chlorophyll -a concentration in the lake of 20
µg/l, although violations of the standard were still predicted in the Deep River arm of the lake. This
option rcpresented an annual phosphorus load of 18,000 kg/yr. The mass limit of 108 lb/day is
equivalent to the annual load of 18,000 kg/yr. At the permitted flow of 26 MGD the equivalent
concentration limit is 0.5 mg/l. The rule requires that the permit include mass and concentration
limits predicted to provide a level of water quality which meets all designated uses. The Division
implements mass and concentration limits to ensure adequate treatment performance. For the
reasons explained above the Division has not modified the phosphorus limit at this time.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit 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 demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division
may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect
the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water
Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act
or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.

Permit NCO024210
A. (5.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
RICHLAND CREEK discharge
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodapbnia 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 TGP313 for the
pass/fail results and THP313 for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the
following address:
Attention: NC DENR DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
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, 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 Section 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.

Summary
The City of High Point requested renewal of the permit for the High Point Eastside WWTP. The
renewal application was received on February 22, 2006, The plant was upgraded to 0.26 MGD over
the past permit cycle. Construction was completed in April 2004. The plant is currently discharging to
Richland Creek. The construction of the effluent line to the Deep River is not completed at this time.
The effluent structure is being constructed and will be owned by the Piedmont Triad Regional Water
Authority (PTRWA) but operated by the City of High Point. The treatment system currently discharges
to Richland Creek. Once the Randleman reservoir is filled, the effluent will be pumped to a cascade
aerator and discharged to the Deep River.
The treatment system consists of three mechanical bar screens, vortex grit removal system, five
primary clarifiers, equalization tank, anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic aeration tanks, four secondary
clarifiers, six sand filters, UV disinfection, post aeration channel. An effluent pump station at the
WWTP site and an effluent structure at the proposed discharge location are under construction.
There are currently 8 Significant Industrial Users and 9 Categorical Industrial Users discharging to the
Eastside WWTP with a total permitted flow of 1.4563 MGD. They have a full pre-treatment program.
The permit requires the city to continue to operate its approved pre-treatment program.
Waste Load Allocation
A Waste Load allocation was developed in 1999 for the expansion to 26 MGD. BOD5, NH3N, DO,
total nitrogen and total phosphorus are water quality limited. Limits for total phosphorus and total

nitrogen were established in 1998 under the Randleman Lake Watershed Nutrient Reduction Strategy
and approved by the Environmental Management Commission. Based on a nutrient response model
for the proposed lake a total phosphorus limit of 0.5 mg/L as a monthly average and total nitrogen of
6 mg/L during the summer was determined appropriate to protect water quality. As indicated in the
Hearing Officer's Summary from September 1998, the phosphorus limit was implemented as a
monthly average not as a quarterly average because due to the size and hydrology of the reservoir
and the availability of the phosphorus for algal growth, having quarterly limits would enable
excursions of phosphorus levels, especially during the growing seasons, which could result in algal
bloom conditions at unaccepted levels. The rule originally proposed a total phosphorus limit of 0.1
mg/L, the limit was increased to 0.5 mg/L when the proposed discharge location was moved to the
Deep River at Freeman Mill. The Hearing Officer's Summary also proposed that the rule do not
include numeric limitations and that the Environmental Management Commission be involved in any
future decision which may increase phosphorus above the mass loading at 26 MGD and 0.5 mg/L.
Rule 15 A NCAC 0213.0249 requires mass and concentration limits for phosphorus and nitrogen.
TMDL — Richland Creek was included in the 2002 303(d) list for fecal coliform. A TMDL was
approved in 2004. Data collected indicates that urban source contributions, such as leaking sewer -
pipes and septic systems, are a significant source of much of the fecal coliform impairment. Additional
fecal coliform loading from nonpoint sources such as stormwater runoff also appear to contribute to
instream concentrations. The TMDL reductions for fecal coliform should be sought through
identification and repair of aging sewer and septic systems and removal of SSOs. Implementation
should also target storm -driven sources such as runoff from residential areas and agricultural land.
The City of High Point has completed several sewer rehabilitation projects.
Notices of Violation (NOVs) The facility received two NOVs, one for a Cyanide weekly average
exceedance on August 2004 and one for a Nickel weekly average exceedance on July 2005.
Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Test
The permit requires a Chronic toxicity P/F test at 90 %. For the period of January 2002 to April 2006
they passed all the tests.

PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS
• The description of the treatment system was updated to reflect the existing facilities.
• The effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for 16.0 MGD were removed from the
permit. The permit includes two effluent pages at 26 MGD, one for Richland Creek and one
for the Deep River.
• The total mercury limit was modified to a weekly average limit. The mercury standard is a
chronic standard therefore the limit should be expressed as a weekly average limit.
• A special condition to analyze for priority pollutants was added to the permit. This condition
is been added to all municipal facilities above 1 MGD to collect data necessary for permit
renewal.

High Point Permit Renewal Notes
The City of High Point provided comments on the draft permit that went to notice on
September 15, 2006. Comments related to the total phosphorus limit of 0.5 mg/I monthly
average. The city requested that the limit be implemented as a quarterly or seasonal
average as a mass limit.
The Randleman Lake rule for the reclassification of the Deep River only specifies that the
High Point permit must have a concentration and mass limit but does not specify the
numeric limit or how it is applied. I researched old files to determine how the limit came
to be a 0.5 mg/1 monthly average. During the process of developing the Randleman Rules
a model was developed for the lake that predicted chlorophyll -a concentrations. A
nutrient strategy was also developed to determine nutrient loads reductions needed to
protect water quality. After the Public Hearing the hearing officer recommended to the
EMC a limit of 0.5 mg/1 as a monthly average for the High Point Eastside expansion. The
rules were adopted by the EMC on November 12, 1998. I requested the minute files for
the EMC meeting of November 12, 1998 to the State Records Center but the records
office did not find them. Files with information about the model, EIS, and
recommendations to the EMC are in the NPDES Cape Fear files and Randleman files in
the Planning Section.

SUBJECT: City of High Point Eastside WWTP
Draft Permit Comments
NPDES #NC0024210
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Weaver,
The City of High Point has received and reviewed the draft permit for the Eastside
WWTP. We appreciate the changes that were made in the permit regarding the removal
of limits for various metals.
The City had requested the Division to reconsider the Total Phosphorous limits and
monitoring requirements. The current and draft permits have a monthly average limit for
phosphorous in both concentration and mass limits. In support of our request, we offer
the following comments regarding Total Phosphorous:
• Of major concern is the monthly average limit for phosphorous. The City is
requesting that this be either a quarterly or seasonal average. This would be
consistent with permit requirements for other NPDES facilities, including those
discharging to surface waters that may be impaired due to chlorophyll a. The
cover letter for the draft permit references the Randleman Lake Watershed
Nutrient Reduction Strategy as the basis for the 0.5 mg/L monthly average limit.
In our review of this strategy, we have been unable to find the section that has the
referenced 0.5 mg/L monthly limit.
• The City has invested a significant amount of money ($54,000,000.00+) in
building a wastewater treatment plant for the biological reduction of phosphorous.
An effluent limit based on a monthly average limit allows for no upsets of the
biological system. Rainfall events, temperature changes, industrial discharges,
and similar unusual events are a part of the everyday operation of a wastewater
plant and often lead to an upset of the biological operations of the plant. Even
with the ability to chemically precipitate phosphorous during an upset condition,
the time required to identify the upset, begin chemical feed, and achieve
compliance would most likely result in a permit violation. Biological phophorus
removal system upsets are well documented. A seasonal or quarterly limit
achieves the same goal but allows for the limitations of these biological
phosphorus removal systems.
• The Randleman Lake Water Supply Watershed: Nutrient Management Strategy
requires the plant to have concentration and mass limits predicted to ensure that
the water quality meets all designated uses. The draft permit has a concentration
limit of 0.5 mg/L and a mass limit of 108 pounds. Both of these are monthly
average limits. Since water quality is most affected by the total pounds of
phosphorous,only a pounds limit is requested. This would be similar to having a
30 mg/L limit for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and a 5 mg/L limit for
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), the low BOD limit essentially negates the
higher TSS limit. Providing a pounds only limit will give the City a little more
flexibility in operations and have little to no effect on the receiving waters.
• The City also has concerns about how the limit for phosphorous was calculated,
when was modeling conducted and what was the source of the data. Court
records (COA02-1657) indicate that DWQ acknowledged that two out of three
models that predicted chlorophyll a levels for Randleman Lake were flawed. If
predicted chlorophyll a levels were used to determine phosphorous limits, were
other variables also considered, since water quality violations (such as chlorophyll
a) are not equated with use impairment?
The City recognizes that the waters of the state are a valuable resource to be protected
and preserved. Our goal is to achieve limits that are based on the best available
information and applied in a fair and equitable manner. We look forward to working
with the Division to reach a solution.
Please contact me at 336-883-3166 if you need any additional information.
With best regards,
Terry Houk

SUBJECT: City of High Point Eastside WWTP
Permit Renewal Application
NPDES #NC0024210
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Weaver,
The NPDES permit for the City of High Point Eastside WWTP expires on August 31,
2006. In accordance with State and Federal regulations, the City is requesting NPDES
renewal for the subject facility. This permit renewal application includes: Form 2A,
Application Overview; Part D, Expanded Effluent Testing Data; Part E, Toxicity Testing:
Biomonitoring Data; Part F, Industrial User Discharges and RCLA/CERCLA Wastes;
and, other supplemental information as required and/or needed.
The following comments are offered for your consideration:
The Eastside WWTP has been under going construction since 1998 for upgrade to
a Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) system and expansion from 16.0 MGD to
26.0 MGD. The old plant was taken offline on April 25, 2004 when all flow was
directed to the new plant. Although construction is essentially finished with all
process units online, there is some minor work to be done and the plant has not, at
the time of this permit renewal application, been certified by the engineer as
completed.
2. In the State's review and calculation of data for permit renewal, the data points
after April 25, 2004 should be considered representative of actual plant discharge.
As stated above, the upgraded plant was put online on April 25, 2004.
P.O. Box 230, 211 S. HAMILTON STREET, HIGH POINT, NORTH CARouNA 27261 FAX 336-883-3419 TDD 336-883-8517
3. The plant currently discharges into Richland Creek as stated in the permit renewal
application. An effluent pump station and cascade aerator are now under
construction to relocate the effluent discharge to the Deep River. This
construction is scheduled to be completed in August 2006. The effluent pump
station, cascade aerator and appurtenances are being constructed by and will be
owned by the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority. The City of High Point
will operate and maintain the facilities.
4. Part D. Expanded Effluent Testing Data of the renewal application shows "hits"
for two EPA 625 Semivolatile Organics in which the extraction blanks also
contained these substances. These parameters, benzyl butyl phthalate and di-n-
butyl phthalate, are noted on the application as having contaminated blanks. The
lab report for this pollutant scan is included in the attachments.
5. The Total Phosphorous limit in the current permit is 0.5 mg/1 as a monthly
average. Given the unpredictability and variability of the biological phosphorous
removal process, the City is requesting that something other than a monthly
average limit be given, such as a quarterly average limit or a seasonal limit.
We look forward to working with you on the renewal of Eastside's NPDES permit.
Please contact me at 336-883-3166 or Dwight Lancaster, Plant Superintendent, at 336-
822-4730 if you need any additional information.
With best regards,
Terry Houk,
Assistant Director. of Public Services

DESCRIPTION OF PLANT FACILITIES
City of High Point Eastside W WTP
NPDES Permit #NC0024210
The Eastside WWTP provides tertiary treatment of the wastewater using the activated
sludge process followed by effluent filters. The activated sludge process operates in the
biological nutrient removal (BNR) mode to provide nitrogen and phosphorous reduction
to meet stringent requirements for discharge of effluent to Randleman Lake. Following
the activated sludge stage, additional solids and organic material are removed by effluent
filters. The effluent is then disinfected by ultraviolet light prior to discharge. Waste
activated sludge is thickened by dissolved air flotation (DAF) thickening. Primary sludge
can be thickened in two fermentation tanks or sent directly to two sludge blending tanks
for blending with waste activated sludge prior to dewatering, incineration and disposal of
incinerator ash in a landfill.
Raw wastewater enters the plant through a junction box, from which the flow is fed to the
Preliminary Treatment Facilities through a 66-inch diameter line. From the Preliminary
Treatment Facilities, the wastewater flows through the entire treatment plant by gravity.
The bar screens at the Preliminary Treatment Facilities consist of three mechanically -
cleaned screens and one manually -cleaned screen for backup. The screens remove rags,
sticks, and other large objects to prevent clogging and interference with operation of
downstream pumps and other process equipment.
From the bar screens, the wastewater flows through two channels to the grit collectors.
Two stirred vortex grit collectors operate in parallel for removal of sand and other heavy
inorganic particles. Grit removal is provided to reduce abrasion on downstream
equipment and to minimize reductions in process efficiency due to accumulation of
inorganic material in process units. Grit cyclones and grit classifiers are provided to
remove organic material from the settled grit. The grit is then deposited in a dumpster for
ultimate disposal in a landfill.
Five primary clarifiers are provided and are designed to remove a portion of the influent
BODS and suspended solids to reduce the organic loading on the biological nutrient
removal activated sludge system. Sludge collectors in each clarifier move the settled
solids to a hopper, from which it is removed and pumped to the fermentation tanks or the
sludge blending tanks. The fermentation tanks are used to break down the primary
sludge to produce a fermentation liquor with volatile fatty acids for the BNR activated
sludge process. After fermentation, the primary sludge is pumped to the sludge blending
tanks. Floating material, or scum, is also removed in the primary clarifiers. Scum pumps
are provided to pump the scum into the discharge line for the primary sludge pumps for
treatment with the primary sludge.
After primary settling, the wastewater flows to the activated sludge stage. The primary
effluent can also be directed to the flow equalization facilities, which consist of a flow
equalization basin, two aerated equalization basins, and two equalization/sludge storage
tanks. The flow equalization facilities can be used to reduce peak flows to the biological
treatment facilities during wet weather conditions and to reduce the effects of diurnal
flows.
The BNR activated sludge stage consists of the anaerobic/anoxic/aeration (AAA) tanks,
the nitrified recycle (NRCY) pumps, the final clarifiers, and the return activated sludge
(RAS) pump stations. Primary effluent first enters the AAA tanks, where biological
activity takes place under anaerobic, anoxic (mixed only), and aerated conditions for
phosphorus removal; removal of 130135; complete nitrification; and denitrification. Four
AAA tanks are normally in service at all times. The aerated portions of the four tanks are
aerated by a fine bubble diffused air aeration system. The anaerobic and anoxic zones in
the AAA tanks are mixed by vertical mixers, which provide mixing without adding
oxygen to the mixed liquor. Mixed liquor recycle is provided by nitrified recycle pumps,
which pump mixed liquor from the end of the aerobic, or nitrification, zone to the head of
the first anoxic zone.
The AAA tank effluent, or mixed liquor, is equally distributed to the four final clarifiers.
In the final clarifiers, the activated sludge is settled out for return to the AAA tanks. The
clear liquid above the settling sludge overflows the effluent weirs and flows to the
effluent filters. The settled sludge is removed from the clarifiers through suction -type
sludge collectors and flows to two RAS pump stations, from which the return sludge is
pumped to the AAA tanks. The two RAS pump stations operate in parallel. Each RAS
pump station contains three RAS pumps. The RAS pump stations discharge to the
anaerobic zone distribution channel and the RAS is distributed equally among the
operation AAA tanks.
Excess sludge is removed from the BNR activated sludge system by the RAS pumps.
From the RAS pump stations, the waste activated sludge is pumped to the solids handling
facilities for solids treatment and ultimate disposal.
The final clarifier effluent flows to six effluent filters for removal of fine solids not
removed in the final clarifiers. Two of the effluent filters are deep bed -type filters,
containing approximately 48 inches of sand supported by 12 inches of filter gravel. The
other four filters are dual media -type filters. Filter effluent flows through the underdrain
system to the ultraviolet (UV) disinfection facilities. Backwash water for the filters is
taken from the Wathwater Storage Tank next to the Primary Clarifier #5 and, after
backwashing, is collected in the washwater recovery basins for return to the head of the
plant. Facilities are provided to bypass a portion of the secondary effluent when
wastewater flows exceed the capacity of the effluent filters.
Ultraviolet light is used for both filter effluent and filter bypass water disinfection. Three
ultraviolet disinfection channels are provided, with each channel containing two banks of
UV lamps. Effluent from the ultraviolet disinfection facilities flows through three
effluent Parshall Flumes for flow measurement and then discharges to Richland Creek.
Facilities are under construction to pump the Eastside Plant effluent to the Deep River
arm of Randleman Lake.
Solids handling facilities consist of three dissolved air flotation (DAF) thickeners, two
sludge blending tanks, two centrifuges, a fluidized bed incinerator, an ash lagoon for ash
storage, and associated pumps and process equipment. Primary sludge is normally
pumped to the sludge blending tanks, but can be pumped to the fermentation tanks if
additional food source is needed for BNR purposes. Waste Activated Sludge and
Primary sludge are mixed in the sludge blending tanks from which the mixed sludge is
pumped to the centrifuges for dewatering. After dewatering, the dewatered sludge is
pumped to the incinerator and the ash is pumped as a slurry to the ash lagoons and then
disposed of in a landfill.
Three 2000kW diesel -driven generators provide standby power. Two diesel -fuel storage
tanks of 10,000 gallons each provide fuel for the generators. The generators are sized to
provide full power to the plant.
City of High Point
Sludge Management Plant
Eastside WWTP
The City of High Point has a Residual Management Division to manage the solids from
the Eastside WWTP, Westside WWTP and the Ward Water Plant. The primary means of
sludge disposal for Eastside WWTP is dewatering and incineration. The City also has a
permit for the land application of residuals.
Solids handling facilities consist of three dissolved air flotation (DAF) thickeners, two
sludge blending tanks, two sludge storage tanks, two centrifuges, an incinerator, an ash
lagoon for ash storage, and associated pumps and process equipment.
Waste activated sludge is pumped to the DAF units for thickening. The solids content of
the WAS is approximately 1% prior to thickening and about 3.5% after thickening. The
thickened sludge is then pumped to the sludge blending tanks. Thickened primary
sludge, approximately 3.5% solids, is also pumped to the sludge blending tanks. A total
of approximately 100,000 — 150,000 gallons per day of WAS and primary sludge is
pumped to the sludge blending tanks.
The sludge from the sludge blending tanks will be pumped to the centrifuges for
dewatering. The dewatered sludge, approximately 25% - 27% cake, from the centrifuges
is conveyed to incinerator with the resulting ash going to two ash lagoons. The ash will
be removed from the ash lagoons and dried on the ash drying pad with the ultimate
disposal in the City of High Point's landfill.
If there is a failure of the incinerator or the two centrifuges, sludge can be stored in the
sludge blending tanks and the sludge storage tanks for approximately 32 days. If the
equipment cannot be fixed in this amount of time, the City does hold a land application of
residuals permit and could contract to have the residuals land applied as a liquid or a
cake. If just the incinerator is out of service, the sludge could continue to be dewatered.
Once dewatered, the sludge could be trucked to a lined landfill, land applied or stored
until the incinerator was fixed.
