Subject: Issuance of Final NPDES Permit NCO021733
Town of Marshall WWTP
Madison County
permit renewal request for the subject wastewater treatment plant (WV70),
Division of Water Quality (the Division) has concluded its review and hereby
As part of renewal, the Division 'conducted a Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) on potential
toxicants and metals considering Significant Industrial Users (SIUs), previous monitoring, and this facility's
Pretreatment Program. This RPA evaluated "reasonable potential" for effluent parameters to exceed North
Carolina's instream Water Quality Standards. Having concluded its review, the Division offers the following
comments and changes to your previous permit:
• Concerning WWTP Grade and Monitoring Frequencies. Based on the current permitted flow
and Marshall's as -built treatment facilities, the Division has reclassified (downgraded) this facility
from Grade III to Grade II. Therefore, monitoring frequencies for BOD5i. Total Suspended
Solids, and Total Nitrogen have been revised from 3/week to Weekly. Similarly, ammonia
monitoring (NH3 as N) has -been reduced from weekly to 2/Month. 1 However, the monitoring
frequencies for various metals have been increased, based on "reasonable potential" to exceed
instream Water Quality Standards.
• Concerning Effluent Discharge of Metals. The Division reviewed monitoring data for effluent
parameters of concern including cadmium, silver, copper and zinc. The RPA data indicated that all
of these parameters show "reasonable potential" to exceed instream Water Quality Standards.
Therefore, the monitoring frequencies for copper, silver and zinc have been increased to monthly
(no limits — state "action levels" only). In addition, monthly monitoring for cadmium shall remain
in the permit, but discharge of this metal shall be further restricted by a permit limit (2.0 µg/L)
based on the Standard.
• Concerning Disinfection and Fecal Coliform Monitoring. In response to recently completed
stream use -attainability studies, the Division has reclassified this portion of the French Broad River
to Class B (direct human contact, swimming, etc.). The Division has therefore added effluent
monitoring and limits for fecal coliform bacteria to the permit, effective June 1, 2003. Should
your. WWTP require new or modified facilities to meet, this requirement, a request for an

A. (3.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the North Carolina Procedure
Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised -
July, 1992 or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour
static test. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment
two in the procedure document). Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained during representative
effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The tests will be performed during the months of February, May, August,
and November.
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 TGE6C. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-2
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall 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.
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 from the facility during a month that 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. The permittee shall also insert the notation "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 toxicitymonitoring 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 either these monitoring requirements 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 and appropriate environmental controls, -shall constitute an invalid test and will require imrnediate follow-
up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

INTRODUCTION
Town of Marshall Wastewater Treatment Plant (herein referred to as Marshall or the permittee)
requires a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for its Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP) to dispose treated wastewater to the surface waters of the state. The
permittee's 5-year NPDES permit has expired and they have requested renewal from the Division of
Water Quality (the Division). This Fact Sheet summarizes background information and rationale used
by the Division's NPDES Unit to determine permit limits and conditions. This document also
contains references to information sources relevant to this permit renewal (superscripted numbers in
order of appearance, See References).

Page 1

Current Division records for the Marshall WWTP date from 1977. The most recent permit became
effective on December 1, 1996 and expired at midnight on October 31, 2001. The Division received
prompt documentation to renew (Short Form A) on May 1, 2000."2
Waste Load Allocation (WLA). The Division prepared the last WLA in August 1996 and developed
effluent limits and monitoring considering an in -stream waste concentration (IWC) of 0.12%. The
Division judges these limits and monitoring requirements to be appropriate for thisrenewal with the
exception of the additions and deletions listed below (see PERMITTING APPROACH SUMMARY).
Verifying Existing Stream Conditions. This facility discharges to the French Broad River, newly
re-classified B 2,5 within the French Broad River Basin. This portion of the French Broad River is not
listed as an "impaired" waterbody [not 303(d) listed].6
CORRESPONDENCE
Staff Report. The Basinwide Water Quality Plan (April 2000) recommended re-classifying the
French Broad River from Class C to Class B. The Division has subsequently listed permittees
affected by this re-classification including the Town of Marshall (Memo to Dave Goodrich, August
2000).
Wanda Frazier of the Asheville Regional Office (ARO) inspected the facility and prepared a Staff
Report and letter (05Mar01) to John Dodson, the Mayor of Marshall. ARO found this facility "...in
good operational condition...." In keeping with the re-classification to Class B, Wanda recommended.
that the permit renewal .include fecal coliform monitoring with limits requiring the addition of
effluent disinfecting.
COMPLIANCE REVIEW
Pretreatment Compliance. The pretreatment program or Long Term Monitoring Plan for Marshall
WWTP has been approved and the effluent monitoring data was considered during the Division's
Reasonable Potential Analysis.$
Notices of Violation (NOVs). During the last three years (permit period January 1999 through
December 2001), this facility received one NOV. This was for total suspended solids (exceeded daily
maximum February 22, 1999).
Acute Toxicity Testing. Toxicity testing records indicate one failure. Quarterly monitoring results
for Acute Toxicity (flathead minnow) pass/fail at 90% effluent concentration indicates "pass" for
quarters beginning January 1997 through July 1999. Marshall failed its TOX test in November 1999;
submitted a bad test in December; did not test in January; then passed finally in February 2000.
Records indicate pass for the subsequent seven (7) quarters through September 2001. 9110

DMR Instream and Effluent Data Review. The Division reviewed 46 months (January 1998
through October 2001) of effluent monitoring reported in monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports
(DMRs). DMRs appeared regular, thorough, and complete. Total flow for ;this time period averaged
about 0.120 MGD or about 30 % of permitted capacity.10 Current monitoring frequencies reflect
WWTP classification as Grade III, .however, Marshall's as -built facilities and flow reflect Grade
II. Therefore, the Division has corrected discharge monitoring frequencies from 3/week to
weekly for many parameters according to DWQ guidelines. However for some metals, monitoring
frequencies have increased based on reasonable potential. The following sections discuss specific
effluent parameters.
Fecal Coliform Limits and Effluent Disinfectiniz. Considering the recent re-classification of the
French Broad River to Class B, the Division has added fecal coliform monitoring and effluent limits
to the permit (effective one year from the permit effective date).4 Marshall does not currently
disinfect its effluent. Chlorine monitoring will be required only if chlorine is used to disinfect.
Instream Monitoring. In keeping with dilution at 864:1 (at 100% permitted flow), this facility does
not currently conduct instream monitoring. The Regional Office has requested in -stream monitoring
for this facility in response to stream reclassification as Class B, but this is not in keeping with
Division renewal guidance for this level of dilution. Therefore, in -steam monitoring was not added to
the .permit (see Effluent Limits and Monitoring Requirements).
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA). The Division conducted EPA -mandated RPA .analyses on
46 months of DMR data10 to determine the "reasonable potential" for identified toxicants and metals
to exceed instream Water Quality Standards. Pretreatment parameters were also considered. The
Division compiled four (4) parameters of concern listed in the previous permit.$ Table 2 summarizes
changes from the previous permit based on Reasonable Potential.

Hi CJoe,,Wanon vaca all week. Yeah I realize the IWC for this permit, and most of the
others that will be
changing due to this reclass, is low. Justification is twofold in my mind. First we
could have, BUT
DIDN'T require these facilities to install backup power (reliability stds), so any
added cost to the
facility for U,D fecal monitoring will still be negligible compared to the cost of
backup power.
Secondly, we want all of these facilities regardless of size to monitor instream for
more bacteria
data. They need to be accountable and contribute to the communittee's recreational
well being and
knowledge through data. This added data of fecal on the FrB by these facilities will
not only cover
the facilities butt in assuring it's citizens that they aren't adversely affecting
their recreational
waters, but it also is a huge benefit to our agency. This data is done by a
certified lab and when all
these facilities are monitoring for fecal in the river we will have MANY data points
within each month
to rely upon for accurate information. As it is now we only have one data point a
month for fecal by
DWQ, and I think 4 data points by MSD.
You need to bring this up at your staff meeting because your coworkers that do the
other permits
affected by this l,� have this same question.
Keep me posted, Linda'

FACT SHEET FOR NPDES PERMIT DEVELOPMENT
NPDES Permit NC0021733 L.—
INTRODUCTION
T wn of Marshall Wastewater Treatment Plant (herein referred to as Marshall WWTP or the
p rmittee) requires a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for its Hoyle —de
C eek Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to dispose treated wastewater to the surface waters of
th state. The permittee's 5-year NPDES permit has expired and they have requested renewal from
the ivision of Water Quality (the Division). This Fact Sheet summarizes background information
and rationale used by the Division's NPDES Unit to determine permit limits and conditions. This
document also contains references to information sources relevant to this permit renewal
(superscripted numbers in order of appearance, See References).

Page. 1

Current Division records for the Marshall WWTP date from 1977. The most recent permit became
effective on December 1, 1996 and expired at midnight on October 31, 2001. The Division received
prompt documentation to renew (Short Form A) on May 1, 2000.1''
Waste Load Allocation (WLA). The Division prepared the last WLA in August 1996 and
effluent limits and monitoring considering an in -stream waste concentration (IWC) of 2%. e
Division judges these limits and monitoring requirements to be appropriate for this renewa 1th the
exception of the additions and deletions listed below (see PERMITTING APPROACH SUMMARY).
Verifying Existing Stream Conditions. This facility discharges to the French Broad River, newly
re-classified B 1,9 within the French Broad River Basin. This portion of the French Broad River is not
listed as an "impaired" waterbody [not 303(d) listed].6
CORRESPONDENCE
Staff Report. The Basinwide Water Quality Plan (April 2000) recommended re-classifying the
French Broad River from Class C to Class B. The Division has subsequently listed permittees
affected by this re-classification including the Town of Marshall (Memo to Dave Goodrich, August
2000).
�rs�ia
Wanda Frazier of the Asheville Regional Office (ARO) inspected t facility and prepared a Staff
Report and letter (05Mar01) to John Dodson, the Mayor of Marshal. ARO found this facility "...in
good operational condition...." In keeping with the re-classification to Class B, Wanda recommended
that the permit renewal include the addition of effluent disinfection and fecal coliform monitoring
with limits. Should this facility chose to disinfect using chlorine, de-chjorination may also be required
to mitigate acute and chronic impacts to the local environment. ro r- , ,� & - ._

COMPLIANCE REVIEW
Pretreatment Compliance. The pretreatment program or Long Term Monitoring Plan for Marshal AnO r5Aa //
WWTP has been approved and the effluent monitoring data was considered during the Division's v
Reasonable Potential Analysis.Z
Notices of Violation (NOVs). Between 1997 and 2001, this facility received no NOVs v
Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Test. Toxicity testing records indicate one failure. Quarterly
monitoring results for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) testing indicates "pass" for quarters beginning
January 1997 through July 1999. Marshall failed its TOX test in November 1999; submitted a bad test
in December; did not test in January; then passed finally in February 2000. Records indicate pass for
the subsequent seven (7) quarters through September 2001.9'10

DMR Instream and Effluent Data Review. The Division reviewed 46 months (January 1998
through October 2001) of effluent monitoring reported in monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports
(DMRs). DMRs appeared regular, thorough, and complete. Total flow for this time period averaged
about 0.120 MGD or about 30 % of permitted capacity.10 Considering that Marshall is a Grade II
WWTP, the Division has corrected its discharge monitoring frequencies from 3/week to weekly
for many parameters according to DWQ guidelines. The following sections discuss specific
effluent parameters.
Fecal Coliform Limits and Effluent Chlorine. Considering the recent re-classification of the French
Broad River to Class B, the Division has added fecal coliform limits to the permit and will impose a
TRC limit in keeping with current renewal guidance. Marshall WWTP currently does not monitor V
chlorine.4
Instream Monitoring. This facility does not currently conduct instream monitoring in keeping with /� 1
dilution factor of 864:1 at 100% permitted flow. Although the Regional Office has requested instream (lfha_cL �
monitoring for this facility in response to reclassification as Class B, this is not in keeping with c7 i
internal guidance for this level of dilution. Therefore, insteam monitoring was not added to the permit
(see Effluent Limits and Monitoring Requirements). L) real
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA). The Division conducted EPA -mandated RPA analyses on
46 months of DMR data10 to determine the "reasonable potential" for identified toxicants and metals
to exceed instream Water Quality Standards. Pretreatment parameters were also considered. The
Division compiled four (4) parameters of concern listed in the previous permit.8 Table 2 summarizes
changes from the previous permit based on Reasonable Potential.

Re: Permit renewals
Date: March 28, 2001
The following facility appears on the permit renewal list as having a permit that expires
10-31-01 and having been assigned to you for renewal.
I have attached the latest inspection letter which contains comments regarding renewal.
However, in that letter, I misinformed them of the renewal deadline. For some reason, I
was misinformed or miscalculated and thought that the deadline was March 31 st, instead
of May 4th. SORRY! !! That was the reason the Town called and requested a renewal
form, twice! I called Darlene (Town) and told her that the deadline was May 4, 2001.
As you probably know, disinfection will be required for the Town of Marshall during this
next permit cycle. We would like to stagger in the fecal limits after they have had time to
budget, get an A to C, install, operate and test the effectiveness of the new system.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

A copy of the inspection report is enclosed for your information.
The appearance of the wastewater treatment plant's effluent and -a
review of the last year'-s monitoring reports indicate that the .facility
is operating in compliance with permit limits and has not has any
permit violations.
The staff of Earth Environmental Services does an outstanding job
of keeping the plant working well, looking good and keeping the paper-
work in order. They are to be highly commended for all their efforts
and hard work. I know that you and the Town are extremely concerned
about maintaining the treatment plant in compliance at all times. The
two following recommendations are offered in an effort to encourage
continued compliance.
{1} One of the two Kruger aeration brushes has been out of service for
several months and is in need of repair. I understand that the parts
have been ordered from Switzerland. It is important that this repair
be finished and the brush. reinstalled as soon as the parts become
available.
{2}` The effluent composite sampler is very old, practically worn out
and is in need of replacement. Estimated costs would be around $2,000
to $3, 000 . ' This replacement is needed as soon as _the .budget will_ allow -
since composite samples are required by the permit.

The permit expires October 31, 2001. Please be sure to send in
the renewal application 180 days prior to expiration (by March 31,
2001). As mentioned in a previous letter,.parts of the French Broad
River have been reclassified (upgraded from class C to class B) and
will require the Town of Marshall to install chlorination and
dechlorination chemical feed equipment and tankage, as well as, test
for and meet fecal coliform limits.
The new permit should allow time for the engineering, construction
and installation prior to implementing fecal coliform limits. This
will be a large expenditure and needs to be budgeted. The Town°s
engineering firm and contract operator should be able to assist you in
estimating these costs.
Please feel free to -contact me at 828 - 251-6208 (voice mail
extension 218) if you or any of the Alderman should ever have any
questions about these matters. Thank you for your attention to this
matter.
Sincerely,
Wanda P. Frazier
