4. Instream Data Summary
Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example: 1) to verify model predictions
when model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/1 of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to
verify model predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future TMDL; 4) based on other
instream concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also
Monitoring Coalitions established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in
which case instream monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained).
If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will be proposed for this
permit action: The current permit requires instream monitoring for dissolved oxygen and temperature
upstream at 308 Rollingwood Road and downstream at 1090 Rockfish Lane. Instream monitoring is
conducted weekly during June, July, August and September, and twice per month during the rest of the
year. This reduced instream monitoring regimen was implemented in the permit with the 2012 renewal
based on request by the permittee and review of instream temperature and dissolved oxygen data
concluding no observed impact from the effluent. In addition, the current permit requires quarterly
hardness monitoring upstream of the outfall to aid in calculating total metals of hardness -dependent
dissolved metals (See RPA section below). Data was observed from January 2018 to June 2022. The data
has been summarized in Table 2 below.

Students t-tests were run at a 95% confidence interval to analyze relationships between instream
samples. A statistically significant difference is determined when the t-test p-value result is < 0.05
Downstream temperature was not greater than 32 degrees Celsius [per 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (18)]
during the period reviewed. Downstream temperature was not greater than upstream temperature by more
than 2.8 degrees Celsius during the period reviewed. It was concluded that no statistically significant
difference exists between upstream and downstream temperature.
Instantaneous downstream DO did not drop below 4 mg/L [per 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (6)] during the
period reviewed. The daily average downstream DO was greater than 5 mg/L for the period reviewed. It
was concluded that no statistically significant difference exists between upstream and downstream DO.
Instream monitoring for fecal coliform and conductivity are not required in the permit. As the receiving
stream is neither class B nor impaired for fecal coliform, no change is proposed for instream fecal
coliform monitoring requirements. Based on the IWC of 1.1%, it is not likely that the effluent
conductivity would have an influence downstream. As such, no change has been proposed for instream
conductivity.
No changes are proposed to instream monitoring requirements.
Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (YIN): NO
Name of Monitoring Coalition: NA

5. Compliance Summary
Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): The facility reported 4 TSS
limits violations resulting in NOVs in 2021.
Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results
(past 5 years): The facility passed 18 of 18 quarterly chronic toxicity tests, as well as all 4 second species
chronic toxicity tests from January 2018 to July 2022.
Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The last facility inspection conducted
in December 2021 reported that the facility was in compliance with NPDES permit NC0024201.
6. Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs)
Dilution and MixingZones
ones
In accordance with 15A NCAC 213.0206, the following streamflows are used for dilution considerations
for development of WQBELs: 1Q10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic
Life; non -carcinogen HH); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH).
If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMIX model results): NA
If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B. 0204(b): NA
Oxygen -Consuming Waste Limitations
Limitations for oxygen -consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to
ensure protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits
(e.g., BOD= 30 mg/1 for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and
model results.
Ifpermit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed.- Secondary TBEL
BOD5 limits were established in the permit in 1986 along with a reissuance of the permit at an 8.34 MGD
flow. In 1991, the permittee requested and was granted secondary TBEL limits for CBOD5 to replace
their BOD5 limits. Also at this time, it was identified that the discharge location for the facility was in
fact the Chockoyotte Creek, and not Roanoke River. Speculative limits were requested for relocation of
the discharge to Roanoke River in 1993. The Division developed a field calibrated QUAL2E model in
1995 which verified that the secondary TBEL BOD5 limits were sufficiently protective of a 6 mg/L
instream dissolved oxygen concentration, regardless of the outfall location. Relocation of the discharge
point to the Roanoke River occurred in 2007. No changes are proposed from the previous permit limits.
Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations
Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of
1.0 mg/1(summer) and 1.8 mg/1(winter). Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria,
utilizing a multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non -Municipals.
Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection
of aquatic life (17 ug/1) and capped at 28 ug/1(acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values
reported below 50 ug/1 are considered compliant with their permit limit.
Page 4 of 11
Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: The permit does
not currently have ammonia limits. Ammonia requirements have been reviewed in the attached WLA
spreadsheet based on ammonia toxicity. Per the 2016 DWR Ammonia permitting guidance, allowable
concentrations > 35 mg/L do not require a permit limit. As the calculated limitations were greater than 35
mg/L, no limits have been added to the permit and monitoring has been maintained. There are no
proposed changes for ammonia.
The TRC limit took effect in 1999 as 28.0 ug/L. The limit has been reviewed in the attached WLA
spreadsheet and found to be protective. No changes are proposed.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants
If applicable, conduct RPA analysis and complete information below.
The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality
standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent
effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC
RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero
background; 3) use of detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) streamflows used for dilution
consideration based on 15A NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of
dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of
Instream Dissolved Metals Standards, dated June 10, 2016.
A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between January 2019
and July 2022. Pollutants of concern included toxicants with positive detections and associated water
quality standards/criteria. Based on this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for this
permit:
• Effluent Limit with Monitoring. The following parameters will receive a water quality -based
effluent limit (WQBEL) since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable
water quality standards/criteria: None
• Monitoring Only. The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they
did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria,
but the maximum predicted concentration was >50% of the allowable concentration: None
• No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since
they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality
standards/criteria and the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable
concentration: Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Cyanide, Lead, Molybdenum, Nickel,
Selenium, Zinc
• POTW Effluent Pollutant Scan Review: Three effluent pollutant scans were evaluated for
additional pollutants of concern. (2018, 2020, 2021)
o The following parameter(s) will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL)
with monitoring, since as part of a limited data set, two samples exceeded the allowable
discharge concentration: None
o The following parameter(s) will receive a monitor -only requirement, since as part of a
limited data set, one sample exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: None
o The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since as part of a limited
data set, they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality
standards/criteria and the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable
concentration: Beryllium, Total Phenolic Compounds, Silver

freshwater/saltwater to this Fact Sheet.
Toxici , Testing Limitations
Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in
accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits
issued to Major facilities or any facility discharging "complex" wastewater (contains anything other than
domestic waste) will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements, with several
exceptions. The State has received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in
NPDES permits, using single concentration screening tests, with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test
failure.
Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: This is a Major POTW, and a chronic WET limit at 1.1%
effluent will continue on a quarterly frequency during the months of January, April, July, and October.
Mercury Statewide TMDL Evaluation
There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply
with EPA's mercury fish tissue criteria (0.3 mg/kg) for human health protection. The TMDL established a
wasteload allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year (81 lb/year), and is applicable to municipals and
industrial facilities with known mercury discharges. Given the small contribution of mercury from point
sources (-2% of total load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MMPs) for point source
control. Municipal facilities > 2 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury (>1 ng/1) will
receive an MMP requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case -by -case basis, depending if mercury is a
pollutant of concern. Effluent limits may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed
the WQBEL value (based on the NC WQS of 12 ng/1) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL
value of 47 ng/1

Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: Since no annual average mercury
concentration exceeded the WQBEL, and no individual mercury sample exceeded the TBEL, no mercury
limit is required. The permittee submitted their existing Mercury Minimization Plan (MMP) in their
renewal application. As the facility is > 2 MGD in capacity and reported multiple detections of mercury >
1 ng/L, the MMP requirement has been maintained.
Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations
If applicable, describe any other TNDDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation
within this permit: N/A
Page 6 of 11
Other WOBEL Considerations
If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: As required by Session
Law 2018-5, Senate Bill 99, Section 13.1(r), every applicant shall submit documentation of any additional
pollutants for which there are certified methods with the permit application if their discharge is
anticipated via a Chemical Addendum to NPDES Application table. As an attachment to the permit
application RRSD informed the Division that no monitoring for additional pollutants has been conducted
(see attached chemical addendum) and therefore no additional pollutants of concern have been identified.
If applicable, describe any special actions (HQW or ORW) this receiving stream and classification shall
comply with in order to protect the designated waterbody: NA
If applicable, describe any compliance schedules proposed for this permit renewal in accordance with
15A NCAC 2H 010 7(c) (2) (B), 40CFR 122.47, and EPA May 2007 Memo: NA
If applicable, describe any water quality standards variances proposed in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.3(e) and 15A NCAC 2B. 0226 for this permit renewal: NA
7. Technology -Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs)
Municipals
Are concentration limits in the permit at least as stringent as secondary treatment requirements (30 mg/1
BODS/TSS for Monthly Average, and 45 mg/l for BODS/TSS for Weekly Average). YES
If NO, provide a justification for alternative limitations (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA
Are 85% removal requirements for CBODS/TSS included in the permit? YES, Overall CBOD5 and TSS
removal rates were greater than 85% - See attached CBOD/TSS removal rate calculations.
If NO, provide a justification (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA
8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge):
The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not
degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation
review in accordance with 15A NCAC 213.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit
must document an effort to consider non -discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.0105(c)(2). In all
cases, existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is
maintained and protected.
If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives
Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: NA
9. Antibacksliding Review:
Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(1) prohibit
backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a
reissued permit to be as stringent as those in the previous permit, with some exceptions where limitations
may be relaxed (e.g., based on new information, increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL
limits, or WQBELs may be less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution).
Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit (YES/NO): NO
If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated: NA
Page 7 of 11
10. Monitoring Requirements
Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following
regulations and guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 213.0500; 2)
NPDES Guidance, Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances (7/15/2010 Memo); 3) NPDES Guidance,
Reduced Monitoring Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance (10/22/2012 Memo); 4) Best
Professional Judgement (BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not
considered effluent limitations under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti -
backsliding prohibitions would not be triggered by reductions in monitoring frequencies.
For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4.
RRSD was granted 2/week monitoring for CBOD, ammonia, and fecal coliform based on 2012 DWR
Guidance Regarding the Reduction of Monitoring Frequencies in NPDES Permits for Exceptionally
Performing Facilities during their 2018 renewal. The permittee has requested continuation of this
monitoring frequency reduction as part of their renewal application, indicating in their assessment that
TSS does not meet criteria and is not being requested for the monitoring reduction. The last three years of
the facility's data for these parameters have been reviewed in accordance with the criteria outlined in the
guidance. As ammonia is not limited in the permit due to the calculated allowable discharge concentrating
being greater than 35 mg/L, the review for reduction of ammonia monitoring frequency was conducted
considering a 35 mg/L limit. Based on this review, 2/week monitoring frequency has been maintained for
CBOD, ammonia, and fecal coliform. Footnote 4 has been added to Section A.(1.): 2/week sampling must
occur on any two non-consecutive days during the calendar week, per the 2012 guidance.
In their renewal application, RRSD requested the reduction of total nitrogen and total phosphorous
monitoring frequencies from monthly to once per quarter and the reduction of chronic toxicity testing
from quarterly to annually. Per 15A NCAC .02B .0508, facilities discharging into the Roanoke River
Basin at a permitted flow of 1.0 MGD or higher shall monitor for total nitrogen and total phosphorous at a
monitoring frequency of monthly. No change is proposed to total nitrogen or total phosphorous
monitoring. Additionally, per the 1999 Whole Effluent Toxicity Permit Limits and Monitoring
Requirements memorandum (attached) chronic toxicity testing has been maintained at a quarterly
frequency.
Footnote 1 of Section 1 of the existing permit states, "The permittee may discontinue influent, effluent
and/or stream sampling at such times when adverse stream flows or extreme weather conditions pose a
substantial risk of injury or death to persons collecting samples. On such days, written justification for
sample discontinuance shall be specified in that month's discharge monitoring report (DMR). Sampling
and monitoring shall resume at the first safe opportunity." This language is covered in 15A NCAC 02B
.0505(c)(4) and is redundant. In the renewal application, the permittee requested the maintenance of this
footnote language. The language is not considered appropriate as a footnote but has been maintained in
the permit as Special Condition A.(6.) Clarification of Monitoring Requirements.
To identify PFAS contamination in waters classified as Water Supply (WS) waters, monitoring
requirements are to be implemented in permits with pretreatment programs that discharge to WS waters.
While not immediately downstream, the Roanoke River does have a WS-IV classified stream segment
approximately 80 miles downstream of the discharge. As the Roanoke River WWTP has a pretreatment
program, monitoring of PFAS chemicals will be added to the permit at a frequency of 2/year. Since an
EPA method for sampling and analyzing PFAS in wastewater is not currently available, the PFAS
sampling requirement in the Permit includes a compliance schedule which delays the effective date of this
requirement until the first full calendar quarter beginning 6 months after EPA has a final wastewater
method in 40 CFR136 published in the Federal Register. This date may be extended upon request and if
there are no NC -certified labs.
Page 8 of 11
11. Electronic Reporting Requirements
The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21, 2015. Effective
December 21, 2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports
(DMRs) electronically. While NPDES regulated facilities would initially be required to submit additional
NPDES reports electronically effective December 21, 2020, EPA extended this deadline from December
21, 2020, to December 21, 2025. The current compliance date, effective January 4, 2021, was extended as
a final regulation change published in the November 2, 2020 Federal Register. This permit contains the
requirements for electronic reporting, consistent with Federal requirements.

If you have any questions regarding any of the above information or on the attached permit, please
contact Nick Coco at (919) 707-3609 or via email at nick.coco@ncdenr.gov.
15. Fact Sheet Addendum (if applicable):
The draft was submitted to RRSD, EPA Region IV, and the Division's Raleigh Regional Office, Aquatic
Toxicology Branch, and Operator Certification Program for review. RRSD submitted comments on
October 25, 2022. RRSD informed the Division that the permit language regarding instream monitoring
frequency had been reverted to the more frequent monitoring regimen that was once employed at the
plant. This language change was inadvertent, and the reduced monitoring regimen was meant to be
maintained, as noted above in Instream Data Summary.
Were there any changes made since the 1010812022 Draft Permit was public noticed (Yes/No): YES
If Yes, list changes and their basis below:
• Based on discussion with the DWR Basin Planning Branch, to support planning efforts, and as
the two parameters are used in calculating TN, monthly monitoring and reporting for TKN and
NO2+NO3 has been added to the permit.
• Footnote 2 has been revised to reflect the correct variable frequency for instream monitoring [See
A.(1.)] .
As some of the changes to the permit are significant, the permit was resubmitted for public comment on
11/10/2023.
The draft was submitted to RRSD, EPA Region IV, and the Division's Raleigh Regional Office, Aquatic
Toxicology Branch, and Operator Certification Program for review. RRSD submitted comments on
December 13, 2022, concurring with the draft permit.
Were there any changes made since the 1111012022 Draft Permit was public noticed (Yes/No): Yes
If Yes, list changes and their basis below:
• The expiration year has been revised to 2028, to reflect a 5-year permit cycle.
• As the expiration year has been revised, the years specified for conducting the effluent pollutant
scans in Special Condition A.(3.) Additional Monitoring Requirements for Renewal have been
revised.

Hi Steven,
You are correct that TN is already defined as TKN and NO2+NO3 in the permit. The additional monitoring requirement
won't change any of the actions RRSD is already taking but ensures that the data makes it into the DMRs for us and the
basin planners to use. This has been requested for just about anyone sampling for TN, since we have run into situations
where only TN was reported and not TKN and NO2+NO3. Since this data is very useful for basin planning, and having the
monitoring requirement saves us from having to reach out and request years and years of TKN and NO2+NO3 data, it is
a good idea to have it as a reporting requirement tied to TN.
I do see your point here, especially considering you have been reporting this data all along, but we are aiming for
consistency in the permits as we move through them.
I've submitted the revised draft permit to our administrative specialist today and should hopefully have a copy to you
today or tomorrow, with a notice in the paper shortly thereafter.
Thanks again for all of your help with this process and please do not hesitate to reach out with any comments or
questions.
Best,

Isn't TN the sum of TKN and NO2+NO3. We are monitoring those three to report TN already. We just don't have to
report them individually as we report TN. I would request you leave it as is because TN is defined in the permit language
as equal to TKN+NO2+NO3. That's just my thoughts though.

Hi Steven,
Would you mind sending me the comments via email? I'm only in the office a couple times per week but hadn't received
anything last week. I've not received comments from any other party, with the exception of the DWR basin planners
requesting NO2+NO3 and TKN be added as monitoring requirements alongside TN.
The notice was published in the Daily Herald on 10/8/2022 (see attached affidavit).
Thanks,
Nick

Nick, a Formal comments letter has been sent. However, there were only the two comments regarding the PFAS
frequency and stream monitoring frequency. We have not found the public notice in the local newspaper yet by the
way. Please let me know if you receive any public comments.

Hi Steven,
Due to the nature of my error (considered a major modification to the permit if I go back to the lower frequency), I will
need to submit this draft permit back for public comment, this time with the correct instream monitoring frequencies.
I've also corrected that typo on the cover letter that you will hopefully be seeing this week. I just wanted to give you the
heads up. There were no other comments here, correct?

No sir. It was intended to be maintained at the variable frequency of weekly during June, July, August, and September

The current permit was reissued October 19, 2018, became effective December 1, 2018 and will
expire March 31, 2022. A renewal application was received February 2, 2021 and is currently under
review.
The 8.34 MGD consists of the following units: Huber Rotomat cylindrical screen, manual bar screen;
Vortex grit removal; influent pump station with four pumps; two (2) primary clarifiers; two (2) trickling
filters; two (2) 2 MG rectangle secondary clarifiers with traveling bridge; three (3) 0.5 MG aeration
basins; two chlorine contact basins; two (2) RAS pump stations; three (3) anaerobic digesters with
heat exchangers; one (1) WAS pump station; two (2) gravity settling tanks with gravity belt thickener
and lime stabilization; one (1) 1 MG solids storage tank; effluent pump station; fourteen (14) sludge
drying beds; two (2) on site generators for back-up power source.
At the time of inspection, one aeration basin, one trickling filter, one primary clarifier, one secondary
clarifier, one chlorine contact chamber was on line due to low influent. Two anaerobic digesters were
being operated. One sludge bed was being used. Effluent appeared clear in the chlorine contact
tank.
Discharge Monitoring Reports for the review period December 2019 through December 2021 were
checked for compliance with permit limits and monitoring requirements. TSS weekly and monthly
average limit violation was noted for February 2021 and March 2021. There were no other violations
for the review period.
Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with data
submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) for October 2021. No discrepancies were
noted.
The laboratory was checked in a cursory manner. All pH buffers were within expiration date. All
calibrations of instruments and temperatures of refrigerators and other equipment are recorded daily
in a log book.

Division of Water Quality
August 2, 1999
NIEMORANDUNI
To: Regional Supervisors
Bill Reid
Jimmie Overton
From: Coleen Sullins
Subject: Whole Effluent Toxicity
Permit Limits and Monitoring Requirements
C!
This communication clarifies the Water Quality Section's positions concerning the
application of whole effluent toxicity (WET) limits in NPIDES permits.
All NPIDES permits issued to "Major" facilities or any facility discharging "complex
wastewater (contains anything other than domestic waste) will contain appropriate whole
effluent toxicity limits and monitoring requirements. Minor discharges that fall into the
following categories will not routinely be assigned whole effluent toxicity limits unless
toxicity screening tests predict a toxic effect under critical design conditions:
1.� C,
- 100 percent domestic wastewater with only chlorine as an additive
- Non -contact cooliric, water
C
- Swimming pool filter backwash
- Water filtration back -wash
- Mine dewatering
- Sand dred(Y' in-
- Seafood packing
- Laundromats
- Car Washes
- Aquaculture facilities
- Rock quarries and gem mines
These facilities will be examined on a case -by -case basis by the Environmental Sciences
Branch, Point Source Branch, Model ling/TMDL Unit, Regional Offices, or the Section
Chief where necessary, prior to the establishment of an N_PDES permit requirement.
These exclusions are made as a matter of regulatory evaluation resources and do not
inherently preclude assessment of any facility's compliance with water quality standards
for toxic substances.
Facilities discharging only non -contact cooling water must complete biocide worksheets
for any biocides employed and submit these to the NPIDES Unit of the Point Source
Branch. This worksheet incorporates facility flow data, receiving stream flow data,
aquatic toxicity and half-life data of the biocides and amounts of the biocides used to
determine potential impacts to the receiving stream. If an impact is predicted, the facility
may adjust its application of current biocides, choose to employ a less toxic biocide, or
perform toxicity testing to document the absence of toxicity. Aquatic Toxicology Unit
C
personnel review each submitted worksheet for numerical accuracy and appropriateness
of all input data.
Whole effluent toxicity limitations and monitoring requirements will be based upon the
instream waste concentration (IWC) during conditions of maximum permitted effluent
C)
flow and 7Q10 receiving stream flow, The IWC will be calculated using the following
formula:
IWC (%) = (Qw / Qw + Qu)) * 100
where: Qw = NPDES maximum permitted wasteflow
Qu = Upstream stream flow during, 7Q10 conditions
The use of maximum permitted wasteflow for the term Qw assumes the facility has the
right to any discharge this volume of waste under the permit at time.
0 1
All calculated IWC values should be rounded to the nearest percent except where the
IWC is <5%. For IWC values between I and 5 percent., round to the nearest tenth of one
percent, and for IWC values <1%, round to the nearest one hundredth of one percent. If it
is known that the discharge has a water supply intake upstream of the outfall, then the
IWC should be calculated as : Qw / Qu, to avoid underestimation.
The objective of whole effluent toxicity limits placed in NPDES permits is to prevent
discharge of toxic substances in amounts likely to cause chronic or acute toxicity to
wildlife in the receiving stream and represents the only feasible method of evaluating the
combined effects of constituents of complex waste streams. EPA has indicated that
chemical -specific limitations do not consider all toxicants present and that interactions of
mixtures are not accounted for [1]. Participants of the 1995 SETAC Pcllston WET
workshop support that indication by recognizing that chemical alone does not
Z� 0 monitoring
predict or measure biological effects in receiving water bodies [2], and does not cover all
toxicants and mixtures threatening biotic integrity [3]. The type of test employed to meet
Z�integrity
this objective is based upon the magnitude of the facility's IWC. In general, the following
criteria are followed:
1) If the facility's IWC is greater than or equal to 0.25 percent, the facility will
perform the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay
Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina
Phase 11 Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure," (Revised February
1998) or subsequent versions on a quarterly basis. The limit will be stated as
"Shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality" at the effluent concentration equivalent to the facility's IWC. The
maximum permit limit will be 90%.
2) If the facility's IWC is less than 0.25 percent, a 24-hour fathead minnow acute
"No Significant Mortality" limit will be applied. The procedure employed will be
"PassiFall Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A Single Effluent
Concentration," Revised July 1992,
3) If the facility discharge is episodic and/or only occurs in response to stoma
events, acute toxicity monitoring is required for the first five discharge events
during the first year following permit issuance, with an annual monitoring
requirement thereafter. This requirement will be a 24 hour fathead minnow acute
test employing the procedure defined as "definitive" in Methods for Measuring
the Acute Toxicity of Ef, flitents to Freshwater and Marine Organisms, Fourth
Edition. EPA/600/4-90/027 September 1991. Upon permit renewal, if five tests
I
have been performed, an annual monitoring requirement will be applied unless
C:

the previous monitoring has indicated potential toxic impacts to the receiving
stream. These situations will be examined on a case -by -case basis and a limit or
monitoring requirement placed in the permit based on the best professional
judgment ud-ment of the Environmental Sciences Branch, Point Source Branch,
Z7
Modelling/TNIDL Unit, Regional Offices, or Section Chief where necessary
4) If the discharge is to a tidally influenced receiving water, the same criteria as
1.
above should be applied using the estimate of 7QI0 flow into the discharge zone.
C,
If no 7QI0 flow estimate is available, a 24 hour acute "No Significant Mortality"
C7
limit will be applied. This requirement may also be applied where flow estimates
available, if in the best professional jud
gment of the Point Source Branch
these estimates are not applicable in the "real world." If the tidal zone is well
flushed, the fathead minnow should be employed as the test organism, otherwise,
In
in a poorly flushed zone, a Daphnid should be used.
5) If the discharge is to a lake or lake arm where 7QIO estimates are not
I — meaningful, a 24 hour acute "No Significant Mortality" limit will be applied with
the fathead minnow as the test organism.
6) If a facility discharges to a receiving stream classified as "High Quality Waters"
as per North Carolina Administrative Code T 15: 02B .020 1 (d), any whole
effluent chronic toxicity limit will be established at an effluent concentration
equal to twice the IWC. If the IWC is 'greater than or equal to 45%, the chronic
limit will be 90111. All dischargers to such waters will have acute limits of "No
Significant Mortality" as determined by the "Pass/Fail Methodology For
Determining Acute Toxicity In A Sin -ale Effluent Concentration."
Freshwater organisms may be substituted in permit requirements for dischargers to
estuarine and salt receiving waters where an evaluation has been made by Aquatic
Toxicology Unit staff that the freshwater organism provides the same level of protection
as saltwater organisms.
Z:
Generally', twenty-four hour composite sampling will be the preferred sampling method

for whole effluent toxicity monitoring. Depending on consideration of exposures, --rab
samples or other special sampling regimes may be appropriate based on the best
ID I=
professional judgment of the Regional Water Quality and Point Source personnel.

Appropriate sampling regimes other than grabs would be based on time of occurrence and
duration of predictable intermittent discharge events.
Permittees with acute toxicity requirements may request the use of a test organism other
than that specified by the permit upon documentation that the alternate test organism
would be a more sensitive indicator of toxic substances in the facility's discharge. Such
documentation would consist of:
1) A demonstration that viable and standardized culture techniques are available for
that organism and standardized testing methodologies have been developed and
I -- -- I
validated. This demonstration should meet guidance provided by EPA.
2) Three consecutive "side -by -side" tests with results indicating that the alternate
organism is as or more sensitive to the facility's effluent. Each test series would
consist of two separate toxicity tests conducted on the same sample of effluent
with the length of exposure specified by the permit, the only difference between
tests being a the organism used.

Any facility which has been assigned a chronic limit with Ceriodaphnia dUbia as the test
organism may request a permit modification that specifies the EPA full range chronic
methodology. Major differences between this methodology and the "North Carolina
Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" are the use of a minimum of
three samples instead of two and daily test solution changes as opposed to two chancres
over the seven day test period.
Minor facilities which discharge only domestic waste applying for renewal of their
permits may be given an option of a new lower ammonia limit based on a mass balance
C
calculation or performing a whole effluent toxicity test.
Should a quarterly toxicity limit be waived in favor of a "monitoring only" requirement
as in the case of a special order, it is recommended that the frequency of the analysis be
increased to monthly. In the case of a pass/fall limit, the use of a multiple concentration
test for the monitoring requirement in a special order will allow tracking of toxicity
reductions.
All whole effluent toxicity tests performed to meet NPIDES monitoring must be
conducted by laboratories, certified to perform the specific analysis required as specified
by Administrative Cod& Section: 15 NC AC 2H.1100, Biological Laboratory
Certification.
Toxicity testing, results will 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. The results
will be recorded on the monthly monitoring report form MR-1. Facilities will also be
required to complete one of the three toxicity test report forms, AT-1, AT-2, or AT-3, and
submit these to the Environmental Sciences Branch. No test result will be considered
valid until reviewed by Aquatic Toxicology Unit personnel. I .
All permits that specify quarterly evaluation of acute toxicity will be written to require
monthly monitoring upon any single failure to meet specified limits, until such time as
those limits are met. Additionally, if a test result is determined to be invalid for any
reason, monthly monitoring will be required until the limit is met. All permits that specify
quarterly evaluation of chronic toxicity will be written to require monitoring, at least once
during each of the two months following a noncompliance. The facility may perform as
much additional monitoring as it desires.
Any single failure to meet established limitations will be considered a non -compliant
I
event. Followinc, this initial non-compliance, each subsequent single failure will be
considered an additional non -compliant event.
The following is offered as pertinent information concerning the quality assurance of
submitted toxicity data:
1) No effluent sample shall be over 72 hours old at the time of its use to initiate a
chronic toxicity test or renew solutions of a chronic toxicity test. No effluent
sample shall be over 36 hours old at the time of its use to initiate an acute
toxicity test. Sample ages will be calculated beginning from the sampling time of
a grab sample or from the time of the last sub -sample of a composite sample.
"Use" is defined as placement of organisms into the test solutions.
2) Composite samples shall be cooled during collection and all samples iced during
C�
shipment such that they arrive at the laboratory at temperature between 0 and 4
degrees Celsius, The only exception shall be that of a grab sample used for
testing within four hours of collection. Again, "use" will be defined as
introduction of the organisms to the test solutions.
3) At times, facilities "split" effluent toxicity monitoring samples between two or
more laboratories. If such analyses produce differing results, a "paper trail"
investigation of all of the analyses by the Aquatic Toxicology Unit will ensue.
Critical components of such an investigation will include sample chain -of -
custody, sample preparation, test protocols, and health of the organism cultures
of the subject laboratories at the time of the analyses.
Appropriate standardized permit language is attached. If there are any questions
concerning any of the above policies or issues, please contact Matt Matthews or Kevin
Bowden at 733-2136.
