The meeting was attended by representatives of the Town of Fairmont, Hobbs, Upchurch
& Associates, the Division of Environmental Management, various state agencies and Dr.
Jay Carter, III. The purpose of the meeting was to establish guidelines for an environmental
assessment to be prepared for the proposed wastewater discharge into the Lumber River by
the Town of Fairmont.
Items were discussed as follows:
Current discharge problems and need for project:
The Town of Fairmont is currently experiencing toxicity problems. While these problems
are believed to be related to the inability of the existing treatment plant to efficiently remove
ammonia,compliance,is aggravated by the zero flow status of the receiving stream. Toxicity
investigations are currently underway. The Town needs more flexibility in its discharge in
order to attract industry and annex existing residential areas. , , ..,_,,,,„44
Limitations of Current Discharge Location
The zero flow stream into which the Town of Fairmont currently discharges its wastewater
offers no dilution with respect to toxicity testing. In addition, discharge limits, though
, currently moderate, would be amended to require a higher degree of treatment. The lack , w,
��`� of dilution could inhibit the Town's ability to attract industry :. ;c - - .iit

a
benthic invertebrates, they have little information on existing fish populations. Fish and
Wildlife requests that surveys be conducted to identify the fish population in the area. Of
special concern is the Redbreast sunfish.
There is also concern about mussels in the area. A survey will be needed including some
harvesting off the river bottom, depending on the depth of the river at that location. A
concern for the possible negative effects of chlorine on the mussel population was
concerned. Ultraviolet disinfection should be considered.
Because of the proposed location of the state park, the waters could be reclassified as Class
B to allow for body contact. This could affect the need for standby power at the facility.
Other Environmental Issues:
The aesthetics of the discharge are of concern. The discharge should be below the water
level if at all possible. The recreational activities on the river will result in more scrutiny of
the discharge than might normally be expected.
Concern was voiced over the impacts to woodlands in the area. It was requested that the
types of woodlands which might be affected be classified as to type, productivity, and
acreage. In addition, it was requested that an attempt be made to speculate on secondary
impacts to woodlands which could be brought on by development.
It was requested that the natural communities along the pipeline corridors and in
• construction areas be characterized for consideration of possible impacts.
Any wetlands which will be affected by the project must be delineated.
It is necessary that the alternatives to stream discharge be thoroughly screened in the
environmental assessment. The Permits and Engineering group suggested that a meeting
be held between Hobbs, Upchurch and DEM regarding current policies on reuse.
Representatives of the Forest Service suggest that land application in wooded areas,
especially pine forest areas,would be frowned upon by their department.

Subject: Fairmont WWTP Expansion
Preliminary Engineering Report
NC0021059
Robeson County
The Technical Support Branch(TSB)has reviewed the preliminary engineering report for
the Fairmont WWTP expansion to 1.75 MGD. The following comments are offered for
the Town's further consideration:
Please be aware that in formal application for an NPDES permit,an engineering
alternatives analysis will have to be submitted. As part of this analysis,more detail
will have to be provided with regard to spray irrigation(land application)of the
wastewater. Loading rates and soil analysis should be provided,along with a
detailed cost analysis,as outlined in the Division's Guidance for Evaluation of
Wastewater Alternative.
In Section VL the selected alternative is a pumping system and the construction of a
new wastewater treatment plant at the Lumber River approximately one mile south
of U.S.HWY 74. Section VII. discusses the alternate site for the treatment plant at
the Fairmont Industrial Park due to conflicts with the N.C.Department of Parks
and Recreation's plans for a park at the Lumber River site. According to the cost
analysis submitted as part of this report,the site at Fairmont appears to be the most
economically feasible. In light of conflicts with Parks and Recreation'plans and
the outcome of the cost analysis the Technical Support Branch encourages pursuit
of the alternative site at the Fairmont Industrial Park for the wastewater treatment
plant.
If in further evaluation the Fairmont Industrial Park Site is not found to be the most
feasible alternative,the Town should provide more detailed explanation of the
environmental consequences for modifying the existing plant and subsequent
discharge to the Lumber River. Also,the option to locate the plant on land between
Fairmont and the Lumber River(near Orrum)should be further evaluated and
explained in detail.
Please include this information as part of the final engineering report and prior to
application for an NPDES permit.

SUBJECT: Proposed Wastewater Treatment Plant at Lumber River
In recent weeks, we have become aware of a:proposal for a wastewater treatment plant which
would seriously conflict with previously-approved plans for the Lumber River State Park.
•
In 1989, following preparation of a feasibility study by DEHNR and preceded by years of
tremendous public interest and support, the Lumber River was designated as a component of NC
Natural and Scenic Rivers System by the NC General Assembly. At the same time, the General
Assembly authorized the establishment of the Lumber River State Park in accordance with the
State Parks Act of 1987. In 1990 the Lumber River Citizens Advisory Committee was appointed
by the Secretary of ,DEHNR to help guide the planning and development of the park. The
committeq raised funds from local citizens and obtained a$40,000 matching grant from Carolina k
cn
Power & Light Company for the preparation of a master plan for the park. The plan was :-.
prepared by N.C. State University and was approved by Secretary Howes in-July 1994.
During 1993 and 1994, we prepared an Environmental Assessment for the Lumber River Master ---a
Plan. The Environmental Assessment was reviewed by agencies within EHNR, was distributed
by the State Clearinghouse for review by other departments and the public, and received final
approval from the State Clearinghouse in April 1994.
During this time, our Division applied for and received four grants totalling over $1.6 million
from the Natural Heritage Trust Fund for land acauisi ion at the park; 2,139 acres have been
acquired so far, with several additional tracts pending. In addition, $1,093,000 was allocated
for the Lumber River State Park in the 1993 State Parks Bond referendum. This money is
designated for implementation of Phase I of the master plan, which includes acquisition of the
park's major access area known as Pea Ridge. Appraisals for this acquisition have been
requested from the State Property Office and are underway. We have been working with NC
DOT on the widening, of US 74 as it crosses the Lumber River near Pea Ridge to ensure that
the roadway design includes a safe access to the park at that location.

Recently, the Town of Fairmont in Robeson County has proposed to lo:,ate their new wastewater
treatment plant at Pea Ridge, the location identified in the park master plan for the southern park
headquarters. The master plan calls for a visitor center with office and auditorium, group and
family picnicking, family and canoe camping, maintenance headquarters, staff residences,
parking, and river access facilities at this location.
The wastewater treatment plant, proposed for approximately the same spot as the park
campground, would seriously degrade the visitor experience at the park, and would greatly
impair our ability to efficiently manage and operate the site. There would be potential problems
of noise, odor, aesthetic appearance,. liability, aiid vandalism. There would be continuing
problems of access through the park for wastewater plant operation, maintenance, construction,
repair and expansion. It would inhibit.6ur ability to expand and relocate park facilities over the
years. We feel very strongly that suCh'an .operation in the interior of the park would be highly
detrimental to the park. '
At this point, it is our understanding that the Town of Fairmont has not submitted a permit
application, but has begun preparation of:the required environmental documents. They have an
option on 25 acres of land at the site.. We have met with the Town and their consultants, as well
as with representatives from the Division of Environmental Management and other environmental •
review agencies. We have informed them of our strong objections to this project, and have
encouraged them to select a different location for the treatment plant.
. Issuance of a permit by DEHNR for this project would be in significant conflict with substantial
commitments and investments already made by the department. We urge you to assist the Town
in finding another location for their project before a permit application is submitted.
Thank you very much for your assistance. Please let us know if yo•., have any questions.

The meeting was attended by representatives of the Town of Fairmont, Hobbs, Upchurch
& Associates, the Division of Environmental Management, various state agencies and Dr.
Jay Carter, III. The purpose of the meeting was to establish guidelines for an environmental
assessment to be prepared for the proposed wastewater discharge into the Lumber River by
the Town of Fairmont.
Items were discussed as follows:
Current discharge problems and need for project:
The Town of Fairmont is currently experiencing toxicity problems. While these problems
are believed to be related to the inability of the existing treatment plant to efficiently remove
ammonia, compliance is aggravated by the zero flow status of the receiving stream. Toxicity
investigations are currently underway. The Town needs more flexibility in its discharge in
order to attract industry and annex existing residential areas.
Limitations of Current Discharge Location:
The zero flow stream into which the Town of Fairmont currently discharges its wastewater
offers no dilution with respect to toxicity testing. In addition, discharge limits, though
currently moderate, would be amended to require a higher degree of treatment. The lack
of dilution could inhibit the Town's ability to attract industry.

Discussion of Need for Regional Wastewater Facilities:
Robeson County has been designated as an Enterprise Community and an Empowerment
Zone in an effort to spur economic development of the area. These designations will result
in increased assistance and funding opportunities by government agencies. Many of the
current wastewater discharges in Robeson County are experiencing discharge problems.
Reasonable access to a municipal wastewater treatment plant could help to eliminate
problematic discharges and consolidate and eliminate some wastewater concerns.
The need for a regional wastewater plan has been discussed for some time. In a recent
discussion held at the Lumbee River Council of Government,these problems were discussed
by members of industry, municipalities and the economic development community. It was
agreed that the regional approach to wastewater treatment should be pursued.
Proposed Location for Discharge:
A map of the proposed discharge point was presented. This point is located approximately
one mile from U.S. 74 on N.C. Secondary Road 2245 adjacent to the Lumber River. The
proposed plan would collect and pump wastewater from Fairmont to this location for
treatment and discharge. The Town of Fairmont has purchased an option to buy the
property needed for the proposed discharge location. After purchase of the option, the
Town of Fairmont learned that the North Carolina Parks and Recreation Division has
chosen this exact site for a major proposed state park. This project has progressed through
the master planning stage and has received a finding of No Significant Impact when
environmentally reviewed through the State Clearinghouse. It is the position of the Parks
and Recreation Division that the proposed discharge site is totally incompatible with their
plans. Among the potential difficulties, the Parks and Recreation Division cites limitation
of access to the treatment plant through the controlled access park and basic incompatibility
of land use as their major concerns. There appears to be little or no potential for land
swapping or land negotiations between Fairmont and the Parks and Recreation Division as
they currently have no land acquired.
Representatives of DEM were questioned concerning the possiblity of locating the discharge
point above or below the proposed site. It is currently believed that the site could be
located in the general area with no additional discharge problems.
The Enviornmental Assessment should contain an alternate plant location for the Lumber
River discharge alternative.
Water Quality Issues:
The Lumber River at the proposed discharge point is classified as C-Swamp Waters. The
assimilative capacity of the river at this point should not be a problem. Of major concern
is the potential impact on aquatic species. While the State has good background data on

benthic invertebrates, they have little information on existing fish populations. Fish and
Wildlife requests that surveys be conducted to identify the fish population in the area. Of
special concern is the Redbreast sunfish.
There is also concern about mussels in the area. A survey will be needed including some
harvesting off the river bottom, depending on the depth of the river at that location. A
concern for the possible negative effects of chlorine on the mussel population was
concerned. Ultraviolet disinfection should be considered.
Because of the proposed location of the state park, the waters could be reclassified as Class
B to allow for body contact. This could affect the need for standby power at the facility.
Other Environmental Issues:
The aesthetics of the discharge are of concern. The discharge should be below the water
level if at all possible. The recreational activities on the river will result in more scrutiny of
the discharge than might normally be expected.
Concern was voiced over the impacts to woodlands in the area. It was requested that the
types of woodlands which might be affected be classified as to type, productivity, and
acreage. In addition, it was requested that an attempt be made to speculate on secondary
impacts to woodlands which could be brought on by development.
It was requested that the natural communities along the pipeline corridors and in
construction areas be characterized for consideration of possible impacts.
Any wetlands which will be affected by the project must be delineated.
It is necessary that the alternatives to stream discharge be thoroughly screened in the
environmental assessment. The Permits and Engineering group suggested that a meeting
be held between Hobbs, Upchurch and DEM regarding current policies on reuse.
Representatives of the Forest Service suggest that land application in wooded areas,
especially pine forest areas, would be frowned upon by their department.

FYI, Hobbs Upchurch and staff from the Town of Fairmont met with
staff in the Water Quality Section and others in the Department
(Parks, Wildlife, Melba McGee) today to discuss issues that need
to be addressed in an EA for the construction of a new WWTP that
would discharge into the Lumber River near the Town of Orrum.
Construction of the new discharge would serve to eliminate two
discharges under an SOC (Fairmont's and a school) and the plant
could eventually serve as a subregional WWTP for Robeson
County. The site the Town of Fairmont selected as their best
alternative is also a site on the Division of Parks and
Recreation Master Plan for the Lumber River State Park. The
master plan (500-600 acre park) was approved by our Department
and the EA/FONSI cleared the State Clearinghouse Review in the
spring of 1994 . The Town of Fairmont recently acquired an
option to purchase a 20-25 acre tract in the middle of what is
being proposed as a campground in the southern park
headquarters. Parks has money to acquire lands, but they have
not gotten the necessary appraisals to purchase property for the
Park. Melba indicated (to the surprise of many in the room) that
the Department would not approve the EA with the Town's
preferred alternative site because Parks Master Plan had been
approved by the Secretary. Parks was adamant that they would
object to a EA with a preferred WWTP alternative at this
location. I tried to emphasize that I thought the Town of
Fairmont needed to evaluate whether there were any feasible
alternatives to the preferred site. Fairmont has been trying to
work with Parks on some land swaps in an effort to relocate the
plant, but Parks claims it would take 6 months just to get an
appraisal and Fairmont needs to comply with their SOC by Jan.1,
1996. Michael Wicker asked me to please give SWT and Preston a
heads up about this meeting since this issue is likely to heat
up.

Dear Ms. Lockley:
I am writing in response to your letter of May 23, 1
relocation of the Town of Fairmont's wastewater
downstream from Highway 74. The recommendat
1995) reflected management strategies for the Lumber River Basin, therefore no cnanges win va
made in the recommendations given in the April, 1995 letter.
Please be advised that response to this request does not guarantee that the Division will issue an
NPDES permit to discharge treated wastewater into these receiving waters. It should be noted
that a new facility involving an expenditure of public funds or use of public (state) lands and having
. a design capacity of 0.5 MGD or greater (or a facility proposing an expansion of 0.5 MGD or
greater), or exceeding one-third of the 7010 of the receiving stream will require the preparation of
- C' an environmental assessment (EA) by the applicant. DEM will not accept a permit application for a
•
rie: project requiring an EA until the document has been approved by the Department of
°. Environment, Health and Natural Resources and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has
been sent to the state Clearinghouse for review and comment.
•
The EA should contain a clear justification for the proposed facility and an analysis of potential
alternatives which should include a thorough evaluation of non-discharge alternatives. In
Lr' addition, an EA should show how water reuse, conservation and inflow/infiltration reductions have
been considered. Nondischarge alternatives, such as spray irrigation, water conservation, inflow
and infiltration reduction or connection to a regional treatment and disposal system, are
considered to be environmentally preferable to a surface water discharge. In accordance with the
North Carolina General Statutes, the practicable waste treatment and disposal alternative with the
least adverse impact on the environment is required to be implemented. If the EA demonstrates
that the project may result in a significant adverse affect on the quality of the environment, an
Environmental Impact Statement would be required. Monica Swihart of the Water Quality
Planning Branch can provide further information regarding the requirements of the N.C.
Environmental Policy Act.

Again, please note that these limits are speculative and are for planning purposes only. The final
NPDES effluent limitations will be determined after a formal permit application has been submitted
to the Division of Environmental Management. If there are any additional questions concerning
this matter, please feel free to contact Farrell Keough, (ext.510) or me, (ext. 519) at (919)

Ok, I've set up the meeting for 2:00pm in the 9thfl Conference Room on Wednesday,June
21. Michael Wicker and Paul Rawls are planning to attend. We will also invite Parks,
Wildlife,Forest Resources,and Pollution Prevention staff. Apparently the State Parks folks
are upset about this project,because they have a master plan to purchase a 400 acre state park
in the vicinity of where the new plant/discharge would be sited. Fairmont already has an
option to buy the property and met recently with Parks and FmHA who have given Fairmont
an enterprise zone grant for a wastewater regionalization study. I have asked Hobbs
Upchurch to prepare a meeting agenda and will send it out upon receipt.Because of the
political issues,we will ne'edto set some limits on the-scope of the meeting.The main
purpose is to focus on the biological and water quality issues that will need to be addressed in
the EA.

Ron Huff with Hobbs Upchurch and Associates called me this morning. He would like to
set up a meeting in June to discuss a potential new WWTP/discharge on the Lumber River at
Boardman.The plant would likely be a 1-2 MGD facility. The Town of Fairmont apparently
has an eye toward accepting other customers so this facility could serve as a regional plant
down the road. Hobbs Upchurch wants to get some direction for the consulting biologist
(Jay Carter)who will be involved with an EA for this project. Please let me know if your
schedules would allow for a meeting sometime during the week of June 5 or June 12.
Thanks.

RE: Town of Fairmont
WWTP Site
HUA No. FR9501.G
Dear Ms. Tingley:
We appreciated you meeting with us today to discuss possible conflicts between the Town
and the Division of Parks and Recreation. The Town looks forward to working with the
Division to find a compromise that will meet both party's needs. The Town is currently
reevaluating the possibility of locating the plant at a site other than on Pea Ridge Road.
It is our understanding that the Division has prepared a master plan for a park headquarters
in the Pea Ridge area. It is also our understanding that funding for this project has been
secured, however, no property has been purchased.
As indicated during our meeting,the Town has purchased an option for approximately 20-25
acres of land. The reason the Town chose this site is the proximity to the river, elevation
of the site, lack of obvious environmental concerns, etc. There were no other sites in the
general area that appeared suitable.
You had indicated that this site was not acceptable in view of the Division's Master Plan.
Fairmont is offering the following compromises:
•1. The Town will give the Division all of the wooded area and five additional acres (so Sks
long as the Town retains 15 acres). The plant can be placed anywhere on the land
the Town has an option for. Additionally,the Town must have a 60 foot right-of-way
down to the river. Fairmont will also allow the Division to connect to the sewer
system with no tap fee and the first 2,000 gallons/month free.

2. The Town will swap acre for acre for the property at the entrance of Pea Ridge
Road. The Division must provide the Town with fill or borrow from the NCDOT
pits or from another site along Pea Ridge as the Town will have to fill a protion of
the site. This swap would have to take place prior to October 15, 1995.
We look forward to working with you on an acceptable solution to this problem. Should you
have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact our office.
Sincerely,

Ok, I 've set up the meeting for 2 : 00pm in the 9thf1 Conference
Room on Wednesday, June 21 . Michael Wicker and Paul Rawls are
planning to attend. We will also invite Parks, Wildlife, Forest
Resources, and Pollution Prevention staff. Apparently the State
TNA4/1
Parks folks are upset about this project, because they have a
master plan to purchase a 400 acre state park in the vicinity of tia
where the new plant/discharge would be sited. Fairmont already
has an option to buy the property and met recently with Parks re,t
and FmHA who have given Fairmont an enterprise zone grant for a I�'
�
wastewater regionalization study. I have asked Hobbs Upchurch tot
prepare a meeting agenda and will send it out upon receipt .
Because of the political issues, we will need to set some limits
on the scope of the meeting. The main purpose is to focus on the
biological and water quality issues that will need to be
addressed in the EA.

Ron Huff with Hobbs Upchurch and Associates called me this
morning. He would like to set up a meeting in June to discuss a
potential new WWTP/discharge on the Lumber River at Boardman.
The plant would likely be a 1-2 MGD facility. The Town of
Fairmont apparently has an eye toward accepting other customers
so this facility could serve as a regional plant down the road.

Hobbs Upchurch wants to get some direction for the consulting
. biologist (Jay Carter) who will be involved with an EA for this
project. Please let me know if your schedules would allow for a
meeting sometime during the week of June 5 or June 12. Thanks.

Dear Helen:
This is to advise that the Lumberton City Council considered your
request that Lumberton accept and treat the Town of Fairmont' s
wastewater and voted to deny the proposal .
The capacity Lumberton would be expected to accept in this project
coupled with the pre-existing demand on the southwest interceptor
would exceed the limits of the line and would ultimately restrict
any future growth in that area. In addition, the City' s current
rate structure would result in over $2 million in annual charges to
Fairmont.
The City of Lumberton appreciates your position in the matter;
however, at this time it is felt that the proposal would not be a
feasible alternative for either Fairmont or Lumberton.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if we may be of assistance to
you in other areas in the future .
Sincerely,

Subject: Town of Fairmont Waste Water Treatment Plant
NC0021059 Subbasin: 03-07-54
Robeson County.
Dear Ms. Lockley:
I am writing in response to your letter requesting speculative limits for a proposed relocation and
expansion of the Town of Fairmont's wastewater treatment plant. The wastewater discharge from
this facility currently flows into the Pitman Mill Branch which is located in the Ashpole Swamp
watershed. The proposed relocation is to the Lumber River mainstem at Highway 74 near the
Boardman gage.
As part of the preparation for the Lumber River Management Plan, the USGS developed a low
flow profile for the Lumber River which includes flow statistics at the Boardman gage. The
following represents those determinations:
Drainage Area: 1,228 miles2
summer 7010: 122 cfs
winter 7010: 250 cfs
average: 1,300 cfs
3002: 304 cfs
The recommendations made in this letter reflect management strategies for the Lumber River
Basin. The Lumber River Basinwide Water Quality Management Plan describes the swamp-like
conditions which exist throughout most of the watershed. A good example is the Lumber River
mainstem downstream from Lumberton where DO concentrations approach 3 mg/I. This is
considerably lower than the rest of the river's mainstem and is well below the state standard of 5
mg/I. It is difficult to determine to what extent these low DO concentrations are natural or should
be attributed to point source discharges of oxygen-demanding wastes located just upstream. At
this time, DEM, (Division of Environmental Management) does not have an adequate tool to
evaluate these swamp systems. To address the uncertainty surrounding the water quality in the
Lumber River and the lack of a modeling tool, a permitting strategy was developed. Therefore,
recommendations for all new dischargers to the Lumber River watershed will receive advanced
secondary limits unless facilities are relocated to an area where more stringent limits are already in
place.

The tentative limits for the Fairmont WWTP expansion from from 0.500 mgd to 2.0 mgd at Highway
74 near the Boardman gage on the Lumber River are as follows:
Flow (mgd): 2.0
BODS (mg/1): 15.0
NH3-N (mg/I): 4.0
Dissolved Oxygen (mg/I): 5.0
Total Suspended Solids (mg/I): 30

Total Phosphorus (mg/I): monitor
Total Nitrogen (mg/1): monitor
Total Residual Chlorine (pig/1): 28
Quarterly Chronic(Ceriodaphnia)Toxicity Test at 2.5 % ;
February,May,August,and November
Please be advised that response to this request does not guarantee that the Division will issue an
NPDES permit to discharge treated wastewater into these receiving waters. It should be noted
that a new facility involving an expeliditure of public funds or use of public(state) lands and having
a design capacity of 0.5 MGD or greater (or a facility proposing an expansion of 0.5 MGD or
greater), or exceeding one-third of the 7010 of the receiving stream will require the preparation of
an environmental assessment(EA)by the applicant. DEM will not accept a permit application for a
project requiring an EA until the document has been approved by the Department of
Environment, Health and Natural Resources and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has
been sent to the state Clearinghouse for review and comment.
The EA should contain a clear justification for the proposed facility and an analysis of potential
alternatives which should include a thorough evaluation of non-discharge alternatives. In
addition, an EA should show how water reuse, conservation and inflow/infiltration reductions have
been considered. Nondischarge alternatives, such as spray irrigation, water conservation, inflow
and infiltration reduction or connection to a regional treatment and disposal system, are
considered to be environmentally preferable to a surface water discharge. In accordance with the
North Carolina General Statutes,the practicable waste treatment and disposal alternative with the
least adverse impact on the environment is required to be implemented. If the EA demonstrates
that the project may result in a significant adverse affect on the quality of the environment, an
Environmental Impact Statement would be required. Monica Swihart of the Water Quality
Planning Branch can provide further information regarding the requirements of the N.C.
Environmental Policy Act.
Please note that Inflow and Infiltration is still a concern for the existing facility. Contact with our
Regional Office indicates that ongoing efforts to remedy these problems are taking place.
Toxic specific limits have not been reviewed in this speculative analysis. The Technical Support
Branch would recommend coordination between your staff and our Pretreatment Staff to
determine possible toxicants involved in this proposed discharge. Our current.information
indicates that no Significant Industrial Users, (SIU's) are currently tied into your plant. A complete
evaluation of limits and monitoring requirements for metals and other toxicants will need to be
addressed at the time of a formal NPDES application.
Under current Division of Environmental Management (DEM) procedure, dechlorination and
chlorine limits are recommended for all new or expanding dischargers proposing the use of
chlorine for disinfection. An acceptable level of residual chlorine in the proposed discharge is
28 41 for protection against acute toxicity. The process of chlorination/dechlorination or ultra
violet radiation may allow the facility to comply with the total residual chlorine limit.

Town of Fairmont WWTP NC0021059
Again, please note that these limits are speculative and are for planning purposes only. The final
NPDES effluent limitations will be determined after a formal permit application has been submitted
to the Division of Environmental Management. If there are any additional questions concerning
this matter, please feel free to contact Farrell Keough, (ext.510) or me, (ext. 519) at (919)
733 - 5083.

Permit No. NC0021059
Fairmont WWTP
Robeson County
Dear Ms. Lockley:
On January 5, 1995, the Division of Environmental Management received your letter
requesting a permit modification to remove the 85% reduction requirement for BOD5 and
TSS.
After review by the NPDES Group and the Fayetteville Regional Office, the Division is
denying your request. Based upon a population of 2,543, the flow to your treatment plant
often exceeds 275 gallons per capita per day (0.70 MGD). This flow exceeds the criteria
specified in 40 CFR 133.103 (d) (3). Since this flow rate is exceeded, 40 CFR 35.2120 (b)
requires you to rectify the problem. Also, the peak influent flow to the treatment plant occurs
during or immediately after heavy rainfall events which indicates inflow and infiltration
problems. A table comparing the influent flow to data from weather stations in Lumberton
and Whiteville is attached.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Mr. Jo ucas,P.E. at
telephone number 919/733-5083 ext. 502.

Re: Permit No. NC 0021059 JAN 1 a ��7
Town of Fairmont, North Carolina ;,,� ,f• ..
Dear Mr. Howard:
I am writing to you on behalf of the Town of Fairmont. The draft of the above
referenced permit does not allow for a relaxation of the 85% suspended solids
(TSS) and 85% bio-chemical oxygen demand (BOD) removal rules. We believe that
the Town treatment system meets the criteria set forth in 40 CFR Part 133.103
(d) and that lower percentage removal rates are appropriate. Each criterion
in 40 CFR Part 133.103(d) is restated below, and the basis for our assertion
that the criterion has been met follows that statement:
1) The treatment works is consistently meeting, or will consistently meet,
its permit effluent concentration limits but its percent removal require-
ment cannot be met due to less concentrated influent wastewater.
The attached Table 1 shows the monthly average influent and effluent data
for flow, suspended solids, and BOD at the Fairmont wastewater treatment
plant for the period from January 1992 to November 1994. This data
documents that the Town consistently met the 30 mg/L permit standards for
both effluent TSS and effluent BOD. Influent suspended solids ranged
from 33 to 227 mg/L and average only 93 mg/L, while influent BOD ranged
from 38 to 187 mg/L and average only 116 mg/L. These influent values are
substantially less than the 200 mg/L to 250 mg/L normally associated with
municipal wastewater. Influent and effluent TSS averaged 71 and 17mg/L,
respectively for the 18 months that 85% removal was not obtained. Had the
average influent suspended solids been only 113 mg/L for these months,
the 85% removal level would have been met. The inability to achieve 85%
removal is clearly due to low influent suspended solids. Influent and
effluent BOD averaged 98 and 19 mg/L, respectively for the 12 months that
85% removal was not obtained. Had the average influent BOD been only
127 mg/L for these months, the 85% removal level would have been met.
The inability to achieve 85% removal is clearly due to low influent BOD.

. Page 2
2) To meet the percent removal requirements, the treatment works would have
to achieve significantly more stringent limitations than would otherwise
be required by the concentration base standards.
Achieving an 85% removal rate, based on the influent TSS data presented
on the attached Table 1, would require effluent suspended solids in the
6 mg/L to 17 mg/L range, depending on the month selected. Based on the
average for all months that 85% removal was not obtained, the required
average effluent suspended solids level would have to be 11 mg/L.
Similarly, 85% BOD removal can be demonstrated from data given in Table 1
to require effluent in the 6 mg/L to 23 mg/L range, depending on the month
selected. Based on the average for all months that 85% removal was not
obtained, the required average effluent BOD level would have to be 15 mg/L.
The required effluent TSS and BOD concentration levels in many months
would be substantially more stringent than the 30 mg/L concentration
limits given in the permit.
3) The less concentrated influent wastewater is not the result of excessive
infiltration or inflow (I/I) .
The less concentrated influent is not the result of excessive I/I.
As the attached Table 1 data shows, monthly average daily flows have
ranged from as low as 0.130 mgd to as high as 0.517 mgd. When the
average suspended solids and BOD removal are tracked, it is noted that
there is no correlation between flow and removal rates. For instance,
the highest and lowest flows for months in which 85% of BOD removal was
not obtained were 0.517 mgd and 0.160 mgd, respectively. Likewise, the
highest and lowest flows for months in which 85% of BOD removal was obtained
were 0.423 mgd and 0.130 mgd, respectively. The same is true with the
removal of suspended solids. This shows that removal rates do not fluctuate
according to the flow occurring.
While the Town acknowledges that infiltration and inflow occurs, it does
not believe this to be excessive infiltration and inflow in the context
of 40 CFR Part 133.103(d) . Excessive infiltration and inflow in this
context is extraneous flow that is more cost-effective to correct than to
treat. The Town has expended great effort to correct infiltration and
inflow. It does not appear to the Town that correcting further flow is
more economical than treatment. While the Town will continue to look for
infiltration and inflow sources and fix them when found, it does not
appear at this time to be more cost-effective to remove the flow than to
treat it. Therefore, even were infiltration and inflow contributing to
the low suspended solids and BOD removal rates, this should not preclude
relaxing the 85% removal requirement.

•. Page 3
It is trusted that this information satisfactorily documents the Town's position.
We ask that the suspended solids and BOD removal percentages permit requirements
be changed to values in the 65% - 70% range.
Sincerely,
TOWN OF FAIRMONT

Dear Mr. Lucas:
I apologize for the delay with your request for precipitation
information for the Fairmont, NC area. You had requested data from June
' 94 through January ' 95, and I was holding back in hopes that my data
archive would be further updated after the beginning of the month.
I was counting primarily on the Lumberton station to fill your
request. Unfortunately, we only have precipitation values through
December 1994 for Lumberton, but I have included these for you. Happily,
though, the Whiteville surface station has data for the time you need.
I had not originally planned to use this station, but closer inspection
revealed that this observing site, located northwest of Whiteville, is
about as close to Fairmont as is the Lumberton station, which is
northwest of Lumberton. So, I believe we have something that will fill
your needs.
Please give me a call if you have any questions or need further
explanation. A ' Om' entry indicates that the data is missing. Thanks
for your patience!
Sincerely,
Thomas Keever
