Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance
Stumpy Point Reverse Osmosis Discharge
Permit No. NC0086932
Dare County
Dear Mr. Oreskovich:
In accordance with the application for discharge permit, the Division is forwarding
herewith the subject NPDES permit for reverse osmosis reject wastewater. This permit is issued
pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum
of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9,
1994.
The Division of Water Quality received significant comments from the Division of Marine
Fisheries (DMF) regarding the potential impact of the discharge into Stumpy Point Bay. The DMF
had requests for more extensive monitoring to determine the potential impact to the ecosystem.
Based on their concerns and comments, as well as the Division of Water Quality's concerns that
limits can be consistently met, the permit has been modified as follows:
• The predicted salinity of the discharge is a concern in this area. Predicted effluent values are
lower than current values in the area and may have an adverse effect on aquatic life. Because
there is uncertainty in predicting the full extent of this type of discharge, instream monitoring
for salinity at various areas in the Bay is required. Special Condition A.4. has been inserted
into the permit indicating the instream monitoring locations and frequencies. Dare County
may request that the Division re-evaluate the instream monitoring requirements after 2 years
of data has been collected.
• A settleable solids limit has been added to the permit. Should the county demonstrate that
there are not settleable solids in the effluent, after one year of data has been collected, the
county may request that monitoring for this parameter be reduced or eliminated from the
permit.
• An additional comment submitted by the DMF pertained to a holding basin or lagoon, sized to
hold all effluent flow "until such times that dilution is maximized and impacts are minimized."
At this time, the Division of Water Quality is unsure of how long those times would be and
when they would be, so this condition has not been added to the permit. However, should the
limits not be consistently met, the Division may require that a holding lagoon or other type of
treatment be installed at the plant.
• The DMF has requested that they be copied on, at minimum, all instream monitoring data.
Please forward copies of instream monitoring data to Sara Winslow, DMF, at the address listed
on the next page of this letter.

NOTES:
1 Sample Locations: I - Influent; E - Effluent; Instream - see Part I, Special Condition A.(4). regarding
instream monitoring frequencies and months.
2 The discharge shall not cause the turbidity of the receiving water to exceed 25 NTU. If the turbidity
exceeds this level due to natural background conditions, the discharge level cannot cause any increase
in the turbidity of the receiving water.
3 The pH shall not be less than 6.8 standard units or greater than 8.5 standard units.
4 Upon sampling for 12 months, the Permittee may request a review of reasonable potential for monitoring
and effluent limitations.
5 Acute Toxicity Monitoring (Mysid) 24hr P/F @ 90%, Quarterly: January, April, See Special Condition
A(2).
THERE SHALL BE NO DISCHARGE OF FLOATING SOLIDS OR VISIBLE FOAM IN OTHER THAN TRACE
AMOUNTS.
Stumpy Point Reverse Osmosis Discharge
NPDES No. NC0086932

A (2). ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL MONITORING (QRTRLY)
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 Mysidopsis bahia 24 hour static test. The effluent
concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document will be 90%. 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, and
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: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Water Quality
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1 62 1
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 valid test is submitted. Upon
submission of a valid test, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months
specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement 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.
A (3). DISCHARGE SPECIAL CONDITION
The effluent diffuser must be designed to prevent surface turbulence and bottom scour. Should
the location of the discharge cause visible turbulence within Stumpy Point Bay, the Division may
require that the discharge be relocated.
Stumpy Point Reverse Osmosis Discharge
NPDES No. NC0086932

A (4). INSTREAM MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The following parameter shall be monitored within Stumpy Point Bay (at the locations indicated)
2/month year round.
ParameterLocation Frequency Months
Salinity (ppt) B, Ml, M2, 2/month January through
M3, M4, M5 December (year round)
The sampling points, as indicated on the map below, are described as:
B- Background sample should be taken along the shoreline outside the influence of the discharge
(at a convenient shoreline location)
MI - along the shoreline, approximately 50 feet east of the discharge
M2 - along the shoreline, approximately 100 feet east of the discharge
M3 - along the shoreline, approximately 200 feet east of the discharge
M4 - along the shoreline, approximately 50 feet west of the discharge
M5 - along the shoreline, approximately 100 feet west of the discharge
Should instream monitoring indicate little to no effect of the discharge on the salinity of the receiving
water after 2 years of monitoring, the permittee may request that the monitoring requirements be re-
evaluated.
NOTE: Map is not to scale.

From: Susan Wilson <[e-mail]>
To: [e-mail]
Ed (and please pass to Eric if necessary) :
I received significant comments from the Div. of Marine Fisheries that
we'll have to resolve prior to issuance. Here's what we are proposing
to try to expedite and resolve their concerns (could you please inform
your client) :
1) NH3-N monitoring will be required (why are the levels elevated in the
groundwater/well tests? - or what is typical) .
2) Salinity values are a concern (freshwater influence in this area and
values are currently fairly low) and instream monitoring will be
required for this parameter and possibly others(do the permittees
currenity have access to or own a boat?) . Also, could you please again
give me your RO concentrate estimates for salinity and how you arrived
at them?
3) Adding the requirement of a holding tank/equalization basin prior to
discharge to provide some opportunity for settling and a more
continuous/even flow. What size basin would you estimate?
Also, the plans and specs that I received recently for Tyrrell Co. - is
the proposed discharge point the same? (I have not yet opened the
plans) .
I'm still planning to submit this for issuance prior to March 15, but
need these items commented on prior to issuance.
Thanks.

Lyn (I hope I spelled your name correctly, I forgot to ask!),
Here's a copy of the raw water data and predicted effluent data for Stumpy Point. Please keep in mind that the
limits given in the permit are based on water quality standards for saltwaters. We gave no benefit of dilution (the
standards are reflected as limits in the permit) for any metal parameters that could be limited. So no matter what
the predicted effluent level was-they still received a limit. The same holds true for Tyrrell Co.
Ammonia is very temperature and pH dependent (and we have no state WQ standard for it, although we do have
freshwater criteria). Their raw water data for Tyrrell Co. was fairly low. I'll look more closely at the federal
document on ammonia (although I think EPA was revising ammonia criteria upward).
Thanks.
Susan

RE: NPDES Permit Application
Stumpy Point Water and Sewer District RO Plant
NPDES Permit No. NC0086932
HUA No.: DR0004—Permits
Dear Ms. Wilson:
We would like to update you on water quality data that pertains to the NPDES permit
application for the Stumpy Point RO plant.
In November 2000, we drilled a production well on the treatment plant site that is one of
two that will be used for the project. Attached please find the Severn Trent Laboratory
analysis of that water. It differs slightly from our original test well that was located about
one mile away.
Mr. Ian Watson,who is the Dare County consulting engineer for process design, has
stated that the pressure filters will not be needed since the iron and turbidity is lower than
the original test well. This will reduce our discharge volume by about 4,000 gallons per
day (gpd)and also the iron components associated with a pressure filter backwash. Mr.LWatson has also stated that the concentrate stream of(20.5 gpm or 29,520 gpd) will
L
of elements approximately 2.75 times the feedwater concentration. I have
prepared a table for you that contains the projected discharge concentration of the
elements analyzed in our raw water. Also attached is Mr. Watson's process flow table. I
have highlighted the concentrate/discharge column.
In the original permit application, copper and zinc were erroneously circled as additives
to the waste stream. Please ignore that delineation. The process waste stream does not
contain additives containing copper or zinc.

REF: NPDES Draft Permit
Stumpy Point Reverse Osmosis Discharge
Permit No.NC0086932
Dare County
Dear Ms. Wilson,
We received(January 17th, 2001)and have reviewed the copy of the draft NPDES Permit you
sent to us for the Dare County- Stumpy Point Reverse Osmosis(RO)Discharge. Please accept
this correspondence as our response comments regarding the draft permit.
Upon receipt,we immediately reviewed the draft Permit with special interest on the"Effluent
Limitations and Monitoring Requirements". We are unfamiliar with the recently drilled Stumpy
Point production well's quality for the ten"daily maximum discharge limitations"required in the
permit. Not knowing what the analyses for those ten contaminants would be,we sent off a
sample of the well water the very next day for analyses of the last eight of these ten contaminants
listed in the permit.
We will not be able to analyze the discharge water for these parameters until the plant is running
and the treatment process creates the discharge water. This weighs heavily on our ability to
acknowledge and agree with the permit limitations in that we cannot assure you at this time that
we will be able to make these"daily maximums"you are requiring. Acknowledging and
agreeing to these limits can immediately put us in a position for a violation once the plant begins
processing water.
We can,though, calculate as best possible the concentration of these contaminants in the
discharge from a sample of the raw well water supplied to the RO units for treatment. Based on
the design product recovery of the RO process,the concentration of the discharge will be roughly
2.75 times the concentration of the contaminants in the raw well water.
All eight analyses results of the sample of the raw water to be treated in Stumpy Point that were
tested had levels of the contaminants below detectable limits. Below is listed the eight
contaminants tested,the results obtained,the calculated, predicted results of the discharge water,
and the daily maximum discharge limitations you are requiring.

• All analyses are below detectable limits.
* NOTE: These three of the eight discharge results will not meet your daily maximum
requirements.
As much as we would like to agree to these draft permit requirements, we respectfully request
that you increase the allowable daily maximum limitations of the three contaminants noted above.
Our calculations at this time predict results that will exceed your limits.

AMMENDMENT TO THE FACT SHEET
The Division of Water Quality received significant comments from the Division of
Marine Fisheries (DMF) regarding the potential impact of the discharge into Stumpy
Point Bay. The DMF had requests for more extensive monitoring to determine the
potential impact to the ecosystem. Based on their concerns and comments, as well as
the Division of Water Quality's concerns that limits can be consistently met, the permit
has been modified as follows:
• The predicted salinity of the discharge is a concern in this area. Predicted effluent
values are lower than current values in the area and may have an adverse effect on
aquatic life. Because the full extent of this type of discharge cannot be assessed,
instream monitoring for salinity at various areas in the Bay is recommended.
Special Condition A.4. has been inserted into the permit indicating the instream
monitoring locations and frequencies. Dare County may request that the Division
re-evaluate the instream monitoring requirements after 2 years of data has been
collected.
• A settleable solids limit has been added to the permit. Should the county
demonstrate that there are not settleable solids in the effluent, after one year of data
has been collected, the county may request that monitoring for this parameter be
reduced or eliminated from the permit.
• An additional comment submitted by the DMF pertained to a holding basin or
lagoon, sized to hold all effluent flow "until such times that dilution is maximized
and impacts are minimized." At this time, the Division of Water Quality is unsure of
how long those times would be and when they would be, so this condition has not
been added to the permit. However, the Division does have continued concerns that
this wastewater may not consistently meet the limits presented in the permit.
Should the limits not be consistently met, the Division may require that a holding
lagoon or other type of treatment be installed at the plant.
• The DMF has requested that they be copied on, at minimum, all instream
monitoring data. Please forward copies of instream monitoring data to Sara
Winslow, DMF, at the address listed on the next page of this letter.

SUMMARY
Dare County/ Stumpy Point proposes to discharge reject water from its RO plant. The county
will tap into the deep Yorktown aquifer. The proposed plant will ultimately discharge
approximately 43,200 gpd to be discharged to Stumpy Point Bay.
Data was collected a mile from the proposed wells and a predictive model was used to
determine the potential parameters of concern and their concentrations.
Due to the elevated chloride levels, the engineer states that land application is nota feasible
option (plus, loading rates would be restrictive). Connection to a P.OTW is not feasible due to
the distance. Discharge appears to be the most economically feasible, environmentally sound
alternative as long as limits are are attained.
The outfall is proposed to be installed 100 ft. from shoreline with a diffuser attachment. The
engineer states that the outfall/discharge will not cause surface turbulence o.r bottom scouring.
This RO facility proposes no treatment of the reject water; most other existing ROs have no
treatment. The Division does have concerns about the ability to consistently achieve limits
imposed in the permit. Due to the limited discharge options and the need for potable water in
the county, discharge appears to be the only option at this time.
TOXICITY TESTING:
Based on this discharge's location in "SA" waters and current policy for RO plants, Quarterly
Acute J,.kriff, P/F at 90%, mysid 24 hour testing will be required.
INSTREAM MONITORING:
No instream monitoring will be required.

\Pf)IFS Rcncwal

PROPOSED REQUIREMENTS:
Per the Division's current policy regarding RO discharges, for the wasteflow of 0.0432 MGD,
monthly monitoring will be required for all parameters of concern.
Since no data exists for the proposed well sites (only the initial testing done on the aquifer
8000 ft away), all parameters of concern will be monitored and/or limited.
Due to the unknown tidal/freshwater inflow conditions acute limits will be given for some
parameters of concern.
PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE:
Draft Permit to Public Notice: January 17, 2001 (est.)
Permit Scheduled to Issue: March 3, 2001 (est.)
STATE CONTACT:
If you have any questions on any of the above information or on the attached permit, please

Dear Ms. Wilson:
Reference is made to your letter dated October 26, 2000 requesting additional information for the
above referenced project. The following information is provided in reference to your comment
letter regarding the Stumpy Point project.
1. Please find attached an Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) for the above
referenced project as requested.
2. In January 1998, a test well was drilled for this project. The test well was drilled
approximately 8,000 feet from the present plant site location. Appendix D of the
Preliminary Engineering Report(PER) contained in the EAA contains maps which
illustrate the location of the test well site and the present RO plant site at the
intersection of N.C. Highway 264 and SR1100. Appendix E of the PER contains the
test well data including the driller's log and water quality analysis. Two water bearing
stratas were found in the test well. Based on a review of the parameters, the RO plant
design was based on obtaining the water source from the deeper aquifer at 260 feet.
This test well data was utilized with computerized modeling for RO plant design to
determine the concentrate parameters.

The discharge flows are based on 38,880 gallons per day from the RO concentrate and
4,320 gallons per day from the iron removal filters. There are two iron removal filters
that backwash once a day each. Each filter will backwash at a rate of 75 gallons per
minute for approximately 30 minutes for each filter. This water will be blended with
the RO concentrate water. Water to backwash the iron filters will be treated water;
therefore, the backwash water from the filters will primarily consist of iron removed
during the treatment process.
3. As seen in the raw water quality data, the raw water quality for copper is 0.98 ppb and
0.28 ppm for zinc. These quantities are concentrated approximately 2.6 times in the
discharge concentrate stream. The projected concentrate parameters included with the
NPDES application indicate a copper concentration of 2.6 ppm. This was a
typographical error in the application and should be 2.6 ppb. This is slightly under the
North Carolina's action level water quality standards for copper which is 3 ppb. The
discharge parameter for zinc is 80 ppb which is also slightly under the maximum
allowable which is 86 ppb.
The projected pH for the concentrate discharge as listed in the NPDES permit
application is between 8.5-9.0. The raw water quality data determined pH to be 8.68.
This is slightly above the action level of 8.5.
It is pointed out that Dare County is in the process of drilling a test well on the
proposed plant site which will be used for the final production well. We have been
informed that the results for both copper and zinc are below the detection limits of 0.02
ppb and 0.02 ppm, respectively. The new pH level is 8.12 which is in the acceptable
range.
4. The water depth throughout Stumpy Point Bay is 3 feet. There is a dredge channel of
depth 7 feet for boaters from Lake Worth into the Pamlico Sound; however,this
channel is approximately 5,000 feet from the discharge location. Based on our past
experience with the Cape Hatteras RO plant, the discharge header design will not
present a problem with surface water turbulence or bottom scouring with a depth of 3
feet.

Permanent wells for the RO plant will be drilled on the site which may change the water
parameters slightly. The County is in the process of drilling permanent wells at this time. We
will keep you informed of any other changes in the concentrate quantity or quality.
If you have any questions or if additional information is needed, please do not hesitate to call.

Toxicity monitoring, Copper, Zinc & heavy metals
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECONDATIONS: I have reviewed the application and
have the following concerns and questions:
• Please discuss the manner in which the "Projected concentrate discharge"
was arrived at;
1. At what depth was the sample taken for the reject quality
determination?
2. What is the possibility of finding a different aquifer with a
higher quality of raw water?
3. Does the projected RO reject quality include the iron filter
backwash discharge?
• What is the projected quality of the iron pressure filter backwash and is
treatment proposed to meet a projected effluent limit of 30 mg/1?
• The location of the proposed discharge undesirable. The diffuser should be
in a depth of water where the discharge would not cause surface turbulence.
The discharge should also be at a location that offers the best possible
dilution reasonable in the area.
• The projected discharge quality would violate surface water quality
standards for Copper- projected 2, 600 Ag/1, - action level standard 3 pg/l.
Also Zinc is projected @ 80 ;.cg/1, - action level standard 86 pg/l. The raw
water quality almost always deteriorates in quality after the well is
placed in production. Therefore, a parameter as close to violating the
standard as Zinc will, in my opinion probability be a problem in the near
future.
If the quality of the proposed discharge does not change the Region will be
unable to recommend the issuance of a permit where WQ standards are violated.

Dear Mr. Goodrich:
Dare County, acting as Stumpy Point Water and Sewer District, has received a Clean
Water Bond Grant for the construction of a water system to serve the Stumpy Point
community. The community will have approximately 118 residents with an average day
demand of approximately 20,000 gallons. A new water main will be extended from the
Lake Worth area on N.C. Highway 264 to the end of Stumpy Point Road (SR1100). A
proposed reverse osmosis water treatment facility will be constructed at the intersection
of N.C. Highway 264 and Stumpy Point Road. The treatment facility will consist of a
reverse osmosis treatment process with an iron removal pressure filter for pretreatment,
two groundwater wells, and a 75,000 gallon elevated storage tank.
The reverse osmosis treatment facility will have a capacity of producing 72,000 gallons
per day of potable water. The reverse osmosis concentrate discharge from the facility
will be approximately 38,880 gallons per day and the filter backwash discharge will be
approximately 4,320 gallons per day at fuii capacity.
__-\ —'?G Aa-
Alternatives considered for the project included interconnection with the existing Dare
County water system on Roanoke Island, surface water treatment, and groundwater ��7egra*r' as
treatment. Based on the cost for an interconnection to the Dare County water system and 1- ' R'0. P"44r;
the inability to treat surface waters in the area, these options were ruled out. A test well N°T- `e72Nh711455
was drilled in the area and based on water quality, reverse osmosis is the only option `D Dttc .
available. J
We propose to locate the discharge into Stumpy Point Bay near the intersection of N.C.
Highway 264 and Stumpy Point Road. The discharge will consist of a 4-inch directional

Susan, I put these two new applications in your box. They're both from Hobbs, Upchurch & Associates
(HUA).
Mark provided spec limits for both plants earlier; however, the applications don't match the specs he
provided to HUA.
• The Tyrrell County application is for an R.O. plant, at a different location (further downstream,
apparently) from the spec request. The spec request was for a conventional WTP. The specs Mark
prepared are probably no help for this application.
• The Dare County application is for a plant with much higher reject flow than the specs allow. As the
Dare County site discharges to an SA water, I don't know if the specs Mark prepared can be changed.
According to Eric Weatherly of HUA, Dare County needs a "response" from us by July 7th or they lose $4
million in grant funds to build the facility. (The grant was awarded on March 11th and no application was
submitted to us until the end of May, but that's a separate issue). At Eric's behest, I talked to Tony Chen in
Public Water Supply. Tony says that we only need to agree (or disagree) in general terms to the request in
order for his folks to either award a construction permit or deny it. We don't need to provide a(draft or
final) NPDES permit,just an indication of whether or not one will be issued. I told him I didn't know if we
could do that, given the lateness of the submission from HUA and the departure from the spec limits that
were provided.
There is grant money tied to the Tyrrell County request also, but no "deadline" has been communicated to
me by the applicant or HUA.
Proceed as you see fit-I just wanted to give you what background I have on these.
