ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL MONITORING (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 Mysid shrimp (Mysidopsis bahia)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 January,April,July&October. 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 TGE3E.Additionally,DWQ Form AT-2(original)is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh,N.C. 27699-1621 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 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 Branch at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring 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 immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring. r BEAUFORT COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA AFFIDAVIT OF PUBLICATION Before the undersigned, a Notary Public of said County and State, duly commissioned, qualified and authorized ruf3LIC NOTICE bylaw to administer oaths, personallyappeared Brenda STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA PPS ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Foster, who being first duly sworn, deposes and says that COMMISSION1NPDES UNIT 1617 MAIL SERVICE CENTER she is the Classified Manager of the Washington Daily RALEIGH,NC 27699-1617 NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO ISSUE A News, a newspaper, published, issued and entered as NPDES WASTEWATER PERMIT second class mail in Washingotto NC in saidand On the basis of thorough staff review and ap- I Washington, countyplication of NC General Statute 143.21, i state; that she is authorized to make this affidavit and Public law 92-500 and other lawful standards ; and regulations,the North Carolina sworn statement, that the • notice or other legal Environmental Management Commission proposes to issue a National Pollutant advertisement, a true copy of which is attached hereto, Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) was published in the Washington Daily News on the wastewater discharge permit to the listed below effective 45 days from followingdates: the publish date of this notice.

Sbamg, CAC Linda Q . Wilkerson Charles H. Weaver,Jr. NC DENR/Water QualityINPDES Unit The Town of Belhaven operates a membrane filtration groundwater Treatment facility in beaufort county. There are three wells that supply Raw water to our plant. Well#2 is out of service for repairs. Each well draws water from the Yorktown Aquifer. Groundwater enters the plant where it is treated with 93% sulfuric acid to lower pH to 6.5-SU. This converts the sulfides to carbonates. Scale inhibitor is also injected it helps keep scale and silica from building on the membrane surfaces. The name of this chemical is Hypersperse MDC 700. A total of two skids treat the in coming feed water. Each skid will produce 150 gpm. of Permeate and 50 gpm. of Concentrate(wastewater). The total wastewater produced from both skids is 100 gpm. A pH of 7.0 standard units is the average of the Concentrate going to waste. The Permeate leaves the skids at a rate of 150 gpm. per skid and enters a aerator where the converted sulfides are vented to the atmosphere. Leaving the aerator the Permeate enters a final treatment stage where Sodium Hydroxide 25%and Sodium Hypochlorite 12.5%are injected. In respective order pH is raised to 7.6 to7.8 standard units and a disinfectant is added to a total of 1.5 ppm. This drinking water then enters a 300,000 gallon holding tank to meet the chlorine demand then is pumped to the Town of Belhaven for consumption. No facility changes are seen in the next five years.
