Box 32, Hertford, NC 27944 Facility Address: NCSR 1108 north of Hertford Permitted Flow 0.7 MGD Type of Waste: 100% Domestic Facility/Permit Status: Renewal County: I Perquimans Miscellaneous Receiving Stream: Perquimans River Regional Office: WaRO Stream Classification: C-Swamp Quad C33NW, Hertford 303(d) Listed?:. No Permit Writer: Karen Rust Subbasin: 030152 Date: October 24, 2007 Drainage Area (mi2): Tidal Summer 7Q10 (cfs) Tidal Winter 7Q10 (cfs): Tidal Avera,e Flow (cfs): 75 SUMMARY The Town of Hertford is currently to operate its WWTP at 0.4 MGD, with a phased expansion flow of 0.7 MGD. The Town is currently operating under an SOC while it arranges for funding and approved plans for the expansion. This facility is 100% domestic with no pretreatment program. The discharge goes into the Perquimans River in the Pasquotank River basin. The Perquimans River is not on the 303(a) list. COMPLIANCE SUMMARY: Per the data in BIMS (see attached computer printout), Hertford's WWTP has violated flow and is discharging large amounts of Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). However, they are under SOC and are working on upgrades to the system. INSTREAM MONITORING: Hertford is not required to perform localized monitoring at the 0.4 MGD flow. Instream monitoring will be required upon expansion to 0.7 MGD. PROPOSED CHANGES: The permittee wants to change the location of the outfall, and this has already been approved in the ATC by CG&L. Therefore, the current outfall was maintained for the 0.4MGD flow and the new outfall will be effective upon expansion to the 0.7MGD flow. The new outfall is downstream of the current outfall, but the class of the waters changes from C-swamp to SC. Therefore, at the 0.7 MGD flow, the TRC limit will be 13µg/L, they will have monitoring and limits for Enterococci instead of fecal coliform, and the pH will be 6.8 - 8.5 SU instead of 6 — 9 SU. Additionally, a TRC limit was added at the 0.4 MGD flow.
