Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NC0060534
Brevard WWTP
Transylvania County
Grade III Biological WPCS
SIC Code 4952
Dear Mr. Hooper:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the Draft NPDES permit renewal for your facility. Please
review this draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the requirements and conditions it
contains. There are several changes from the existing permit, including the following:
• As the facility class is Grade III per 15A NCAC 08G .0302, monitoring frequencies for
BOD, TSS, fecal coliform, pH, total residual chlorine and dissolved oxygen have been
revised to reflect Grade III facility monitoring requirements outlined in 15A NCAC 02B
.0508 [See A.(1.)].
• Per the results of instream waste concentration (IWC)-based calculations for ammonia-
nitrogen, a monthly average summer ammonia nitrogen limit has been added [See A.(1.)].
• Based on the reasonable potential analysis (RPA) showing no reasonable potential to
violate state water quality standards, the monitoring requirement for total silver has been
removed from the permit [See A.(1)].
• A special condition to monitor effluent PFAS chemicals quarterly has been added to the
permit,to be effective six (6) months after EPA has a final wastewater method in 40 CFR136
method published in the Federal Register [See Special Condition A.(6.) PFAS Monitoring
Requirements].
• Language has been added to Footnote 1 to account for influent, effluent, and upstream
abbreviations [See A. (1.)].
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A.(2.), Chronic Toxicity Permit
Limit,please review each paragraph carefully.
• Special Condition A.(3.)has been modified to include the specific three years in which the
Effluent Pollutant Scan shall be performed (2024, 2025, and 2026). In addition, at the end of
the Special Condition, 2nd species Toxicity Testing Requirements for municipal permit
renewals per Federal Regulations [40 CFR 122.21(j)(5)] have been added.

A.(2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT(QUARTERLY)
[15A NCAC 02B .0200] [15A NCAC 02B .0500 et seq]
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 2.4%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum,quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in
the"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure,"(Revised December 2010,or
subsequent versions)or"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised December 2010,or subsequent versions).The tests will be performed during the months of
January,April,July,and October.These months signify the first month of each three-month toxicity
testing quarter assigned to the facility.Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during
representative effluent discharge and 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-December 2010,or subsequent versions).
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered electronically using the
Division's eDMR system 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,DWR Form AT-3
(original)is to be sent to the following address:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,NC 27699-1621
Or,results can be sent to the email,[e-mail].
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water 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
Water 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.Assessment of toxicity compliance is based on the toxicity
testing quarter,which is the three-month time interval that begins on the first day of the month in which
toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues until the fmal day of the third month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement 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.
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.
