Briefly describe the proposed permitting action and facility background: The City of Albemarle has applied
for NPDES permit renewal, and submitted a renewal application dated August 24, 2021, received by the
Division on September 03, 2021. Review of the application found it incomplete with effluent pollutant
scans (PPAs), second species test reports, process narrative, sludge management plan and chemical
addendum lacking. The PPAs and 2nd species test reports were received by request on 10/28/2022; the PPAs
were sampled in October 2019, September 2020 and June 2021; the 2nd species tests were sampled in June,
September, October, and December 2021.
At the time of application submission, the facility served a population of—17,810 residents including the
City of Albemarle (pop.—15,980), Town of New London (pop. —600), and unincorporated Stanly County
(pop.—1230). The facility has an active pretreatment program involving 3 industrial users: two textile
facilities and the Albemarle City Landfill; one of the textile facilities was a Significant Industrial User that
was dropped in September 2021 due to ceasing dyeing operations.
The wastewater treatment process is in two facilities located —0.9 miles apart. The upper plant is largely
retired but has an active headworks (bar screen and grit removal), influent lift station, and primary and
secondary solids holding basins. The lower plant comprises the remainder of the treatment process,
including aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, tertiary filters, chlorine disinfection and the outfall to Long
Creek.
The facility had entered a Special Order by Consent, SOC WQ 519-007, effective October 1, 2020 —
December 31, 2023, as it can neither consistently comply with NPDES permit BOD, TSS, Ammonia and
Fecal Coliform limits nor Collection System Permit WQCS00016 conditions regarding sewer system
overflows. The SOC was replaced with SOC WQ S 19-007 Ad I in October 2022, expiring August 31, 2026,
extending deadlines for scheduled activities and interim compliance limits for BOD, TSS, Ammonia and
Fecal Coliform, with the compliance date of May 31, 2026. The SOCs allow time for the City to make
improvements to both its collection system and wastewater treatment plant and operate under interim permit
limits for the above parameters.
With the application, the City requested changes to the permit regarding the compliance schedule for
Cadmium and Chromium IV, as well as a request to remove Color monitoring, following up from a letter
request sent in February 2020. These items will be discussed in Section 6 - Water Quality -Based Effluent
Limits (WQBEL) below.
Sludge management. From correspondence with the ORC on 10/28/2022: `The plant is currently under an
SOC (WQ 519-007) for "the wwtp's inability to handle low influent BOD concentrations". The said low
BOD concentrations inhibit biosolids production. Historically biosolids have been pump/hauled to Rocky
River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant which is operated by the Water & Sewer Authority of Cabarrus
County. '

4. Instream Data Summary
Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example: 1) to verify model predictions when
model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/1 of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to verify
model predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future TMDL; 4) based on other instream
concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also Monitoring Coalitions
established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in which case instream
monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained).
If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will beproposedfor this permit
action: The current permit requires instream monitoring for six parameters (Color, Conductivity, Copper,
DO, Hardness and Temperature) in four locations (U, D1, D2, D3) in Long Creek, not all at the same
locations (see Table 3). Hardness is sampled upstream for calculation of dissolved to total metals for
hardness -dependent metals, including Copper, and is addressed in the Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
portion of Section 6 - Water Quality -Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL) below.

D1 was moved from its original location at the end of NCSR 1960 to its current location in a permit
modification in December 2012 due to safety concerns. Instream monitoring data were reviewed from
DMRs with concurrent effluent data for evaluation of potential stream impacts. Downstream data are
reported as different outfalls in the Division's BIMS database (Table 3). Upstream and downstream data
were tested for significance via ANOVA followed by t-tests if averages appeared to differ, with level of
Page 5 of 21

NCO024244
significance set at 0.05. If significant differences were found by ANOVA, t-tests was run to check for
differences between a downstream average and the upstream average. Effluent data in Table 2 were
compared against those instream. Reviewed data are summarized in Table 4 and elaborated in the following
paragraphs.

Dissolved Oxygen (DO) — Instream DO remains in the permit as a parameter of concern for aquatic life.
The receiving stream is meeting criteria in the 2022 Integrated Report. Reviewed instream DMR data from
October 2018 through September 2022 was shown to be above the DO standard of 5.0 mg/L consistently
downstream, but not upstream, which recorded below the standard twice in September 2019 and once in
August 2022. Instream averages tested different with statistical significance among all sites and upstream
tested different than and D 1 and D3, but not D2. The effluent average DO is very similar to that upstream,
and so does not appear to be impacting the stream.
Temperature - Instream Temperature remains in the permit as a parameter of concern for aquatic life. The
receiving stream is meeting criteria in the 2022 Integrated Report. Temperatures in all sites were below the
standard of 32°C for lower piedmont and coastal plain waters. Significant differences were found among
all sites and between the upstream and each downstream site. There were four instances where the
downstream temperature at D1 exceeded the water quality standard of 2.8°C above the natural water
temperature when compared to upstream data, and one exceedance involving D3 (Table 5). Considering
Page 6 of 21

NCO024244
the sporadic nature of these downstream temperature increases and the insignificant findings of temperature
increase over the period examined, it does not appear that the effluent is impacting instream temperature.

Conductivity — Instream Conductivity remains in the permit as a parameter of concern due to industrial
dischargers. The Permittee dropped their sole significant industrial user, Auria, from their pretreatment
program in July 2021, approved by the Division that month. The drop was in response to a change in Auria's
process by eliminating its dyeing operations, thereby no longer meeting criteria for Significant Industrial
User status. Statically significant differences were found among instream sites, and between the upstream
and each downstream site. The corresponding effluent data was higher on average, suggesting an impact
on the stream.
Color Instream Color is in the permit as a parameter of concern due to the presence of industrial
dischargers. As stated above, the industrial discharger Auria had ceased dyeing operations, and the
Permittee had requested Color monitoring be removed from the permit in its renewal application.
Significant color difference was detected between the upstream and downstream sites, but with the
downstream site at a lower average value. The effluent average was lower than either instream average,
indicating no negative impact. Based on this pattern, color instream monitoring is removed from the permit.
Copper - Instream Copper remains in the permit as a parameter of concern due to the stream's current listing
for copper impairment on the Final 2022 303(d) list. Total Copper impairment is based on a Legacy
Category 5 Total Metals Assessment in 2008, exceeding the freshwater standard of 7 µg/L for aquatic life
at Assessment Unit 13-17-3lb, located —8.6 miles downstream of the outfall (Assessment Unit 13-17-31a,
wherein the outfall lies is not impaired). Since that time the state water quality standards for metals have
been updated, with those requiring calculation of dissolved to total metals for hardness -dependent metals,
which include copper. Using Permittee-submitted upstream Total Hardness data, the instream water quality
standards for Total Copper are calculated to be 14.32 µg/L chronic and 20.12 µg/L acute.
Review of instream copper data found both downstream averages to be statistically significantly higher
than the upstream average, with the overall average exceeding the chronic standard at D1, but not at D2.
Monthly data showed exceedances of both standards numerous times, more so at D 1 than at D2 (Table 6).
Effluent copper values averaged higher, indicating impact on this impaired stream segment. Instream
copper monitoring is maintained.

Fecal Coliform — Fecal Coliform instream monitoring was removed from the permit in 2000 without any
notes regarding its basis. The receiving stream is neither a Class B nor impaired for Fecal Coliform, meeting
the criteria for its removal per the Division's instream monitoring guidance document (DWQ 2002).
However, based on the number of effluent exceedences (see Section 5 — Compliance History) the Permittee
has reported, instream Fecal Coliform will be added to the permit. At the City's request, Fecal Coliform
will be monitored at the upstream and downstream at D1 and D3.
Other parameters — Although not required, the Permittee monitored instream pH and Turbidity, two
parameters that have instream water quality standards. The receiving stream is meeting criteria for both
parameters in the 2022 Integrated Report. The submitted instream data were reviewed, finding significant
differences between the upstream and each downstream averages for each parameter, but not exceeding
their respective stream standards. Instream monitoring for pH and Turbidity is not required and will not be
added to the permit.
Instream monitoring frequencies in the current permit are weekly in summer months (June through
September) and monthly during the rest of the year, which are less frequent than those under NC 15A
NCAC 2B .0500 (3/week in summer, weekly in winter). These monitoring frequencies have been in the
permit dating back to 1992 and were likely set in a previous permit. A review of permit files dating as far
back as 1989 revealed no explanation for the monitoring frequencies, and consultation with regional office
personnel also yielded no explanation. Instream monitoring frequencies are maintained due to no substantial
impact from the effluent.
Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (YIN): NO
Name of Monitoring Coalition: NA
5. Compliance Summary
Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): From October 2017 through
September 2022 the facility had reported several exceedances in BOD, TSS, Ammonia and Fecal Coliform.
In response to the facility's chronic non-compliance, it entered an SOC in October 2020 with relaxed limits
for the above parameters. This SOC, expiring in December 2023, was replaced by an amended SOC in
October 2022, extending the limits and conditions until its expiration in August 2026 (see details in Section
1 above). Since October 1, 2020, the effective date of the SOC, the facility reported one Ammonia monthly
average exceedance in April 2021, and 38 TSS exceedances (12 monthly average and 26 weekly average).
All reported exceedances have resulted in enforcement cases.
The TSS exceedences are the result of the City's water treatment plant (WTP) discharging alum sludge to
the WWTP via its collection system. To address the necessary pretreatment requirements for this source
related to TSS limits, a special condition will be added to the permit requiring the City's pretreatment
Page 8 of 21

NC0024244
program be updated, and to bring the WTP into the program with an Industrial User Permit (IUP) containing
limits for TSS and other pertinent parameters to address passthrough and interference with the WWTP.
Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results (past
5 years): The facility passed 19 of 20 quarterly chronic toxicity tests, with one failure followed by two
successive passing tests. as well as all 4 second species chronic toxicity tests. Second species tests were
sampled on 6/6/2021, 9/12/2021, 10/3/2021, and 12/5/2021.
Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The most recent facility inspection
(compliance evaluation), conducted on 8/16/2022, reported no issues and acknowledges the facility is
operating under an SOC.
6. Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs)
Dilution and Mixing Zones
In accordance with 15A NCAC 213.0206, the following streamflows are used for dilution considerations
for development of WQBELs: 1 Q 10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q 10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic
Life; non -carcinogen HH); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH).
If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMIX model results): NA
If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0204(b): NA
Oxygen -Consuming Waste Limitations
Limitations for oxygen -consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to
ensure protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits
(e.g., BOD = 30 mg/L for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and
model results.
If permit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed: Limitations for BOD
are based on a Streeter -Phelps model (Level B), conducted before the 1992 permit, for instream DO
protection. However, the facility is currently operating under relaxed SOC limits, which are still more
stringent than the TBELs. No changes are proposed.
Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations
Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of
1.0 mg/L (summer) and 1.8 mg/L (winter). Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria, utilizing
a multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non -Municipals.
Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection
of aquatic life (17 µg/L) and capped at 28 µg/L (acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values
reported below 50 µg/L are considered compliant with their permit limit.
Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: The current permit
limits are based on WLA to protect against ammonia toxicity, set in 2018:

The facility is operating under relaxed SOC year-round limits of 5.0 / 15.0 mg/L monthly/weekly average
until SOC expiration in 2026, when the permit limits become effective.
Similarly, the current TRC limit of 18 µg/L daily maximum was set based on the WLA and thus found to
be protective. No changes are proposed.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants
If applicable, conduct RPA analysis and complete information below.
The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality
standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent
effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC
RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero
background; 3) use of % detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) streamflows used for dilution
consideration based on 15A NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of
dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of
Instream Dissolved Metals Standards, dated June 10, 2016.
A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between October 2018
through September 2022 for the 12.0 MGD and the 16.0 MGD expansion flows. Pollutants of concern
included toxicants with positive detections and associated water quality standards/criteria. Based on this
analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for this permit:
• Effluent Limit with Monitoring. The following parameters will receive a water quality -based
effluent limit (WQBEL) since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable water

did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria, but
the maximum predicted concentration was > 50% of the allowable concentration: Chromium VI,
Total Lead and Total Silver at both flow tiers.
o Silver - quarterly monitoring is maintained due to one detection in September 2022 at 2
µg/L, following Division guidance for implementing instream dissolved metals standards
(DWR 2016).
No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since
they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria
and the maximum predicted concentration was < 50% of the allowable concentration: Arsenic,

Beryllium, Total Chromium, Total Phenolic Compounds, Nickel, Selenium, Molybdenum and
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate at both flow tiers.
o Total Chromium — maximum reported value is less than the allowable Cw for Chromium
VI at both flow tiers.
o Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate — all data of past three years (since September 2019) were
nondetects at < 2 µg/L, > allowable Cw for each flow tier and < PQL of 10 µg/L (allowable
Cw = 1.6 ug/L at 12 MGD and 1.3 ug/L at 16 MGD).
POTW Effluent Pollutant Scan Review: Three effluent pollutant scans were evaluated for
additional pollutants of concern. Samples for the pollutant scans were collected on 10/15/2019,
9/15/2020, and 6/2/2021. No additional pollutants were detected.
o The following parameter(s) will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL)
with monitoring, since as part of a limited data set, two samples exceeded the allowable
discharge concentration: None.
o The following parameter(s) will receive a monitor -only requirement, since as part of a
limited data set, one sample exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: None.
If applicable, attach a spreadsheet of the RPA results as well as a copy of the Dissolved Metals
Implementation Fact Sheet for freshwater/saltwater to this Fact Sheet. Include a printout of the RPA
Dissolved to Total Metal Calculator sheet if this is a Municipality with a Pretreatment Program.
Toxicity Testing Limitations
Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in
accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits
issued to Major facilities or any facility discharging "complex" wastewater (contains anything other than
domestic waste) will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements, with several exceptions.
The State has received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in NPDES permits,
using single concentration screening tests, with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test failure.
Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: This is a Major POTW, and a chronic WET limit at 90%
effluent will continue on a quarterly frequency at both flow tiers.
Mercury Statewide TMDL Evaluation
There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply with
EPA's mercury fish tissue criteria (0.3 mg/kg) for human health protection. The TMDL established a
wasteload allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year (81 lb/year), and is applicable to municipals and
industrial facilities with known mercury discharges. Given the small contribution of mercury from point
sources (-2% of total load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MMPs) for point source
control. Municipal facilities > 2 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury (> 1 ng/L) will receive
an MMP requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case -by -case basis, depending if mercury is a pollutant
of concern. Effluent limits may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed the WQBEL
value (based on the NC WQS of 12 ng/L) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL value of 47 ng/L.
Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: The current permit has a MMP
requirement but no MMP summary was submitted with the application. It was received upon request on
1/10/2023, consisting of a series of data tables of the effluent, collection system and industrial sources, as
well as a summary of a dental office amalgam survey.
Since the 2022 annual average was greater than the WQBEL at each flow tier but no single value was higher
than the TBEL, an annual average WQBEL will be added to the permit for both flow tiers, with quarterly
monitoring using EPA Method 1631E (low level). The MMP special condition will be maintained.

Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations
If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation within
this permit: The facility is not subject to any TMDL or Nutrient Management Strategy, but to better
understand effluent Total Nitrogen, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) and Nitrate -Nitrite Nitrogen (NO3-N +
NOz) reporting will be added to the permit at both flow tiers.
Other WQBEL Considerations- Permit Limit Development
The current total chromium limitations were maintained in the interim effluent sheet until hexavalent
chromium levels can be assessed. The reasonable potential analysis using the city's total chromium effluent
data showed reasonable potential to violate the new hexavalent chromium standard. As a result, hexavalent
chromium limitations were added to this permit. Sampling for hexavalent chromium will ascertain if
hexavalent chromium is present in the total chromium samples and thus the effluent.
If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: The current permit has
monitoring requirement for Color, based on a textile industrial user conducting a dyeing operation. The
Permittee requested removal of Color from the permit or have it be subject to a permit reopener clause,
citing the industrial user had ceased its dyeing operation. Effluent color data were reviewed and found that
the average was lower than instream averages (Tables 2 and 4). The effluent does not appear to affect the
instream color and therefore monitoring requirements will be removed from the permit. In the event that
dyeing operations resume or are initiated from the existing or new textile industrial users, the permit
reopener special condition, currently in the permit, will be maintained.
The emerging contaminants PFAS and 1,4-Dioxane were sampled from of the municipal landfill leachate
by the City upon request for a Chemical Addendum on 11/18/2022. Results showed elevated concentrations
of several parameters (Table 8). Average flow of landfill leachate to the WWTP from the past three years
is 31,591 gal/day (0.0316 MGD). The nearest downstream water supply (WS-IV) boundary, for the Blewett
Falls Lake water supply watershed, lies 40 miles from the WWTP's outfall.

In addition, the City submitted several Safety Data Sheets and Technical Bulletins from the two textile
industrial users (IUs). Their review revealed most products to be of proprietary nature with limited chemical
information provided. PFAS release by the two textile IUs could not be determined from this review.
Based on the presence of PFAS and 1,4-Dioxane in the landfill leachate, the potential of PFAS in the
wastestreams from the two textile IUs AURIA and Creative Dyeing, and the positioning of the outfall
upstream of a water supply watershed, monthly monitoring for PFAS and 1,4-Dioxane will be added to the
permit with the option for the Permittee to request a reduction to quarterly after 12 months based on data
evaluation. In addition, a special condition to reopen the permit for changes in 1,4-Dioxane requirements
will be added to the permit.
To address pretreatment issues related to landfill leachate, the proposed Pretreatment Update special
condition (see Section 5 — Compliance Summary) will require the City's landfill be included in the
pretreatment program with an Industrial User Permit with appropriate conditions and requirements.
The US EPA issued NPDES permitting guidance addressing PFAS in a memo dated 12/5/2022.
Recommendations in the guidance memo applicable to the Albermarle — Long Creek WWTP permit involve
monitoring, pretreatment, biosolids, and public notice. Monitoring of effluent, influent and biosolids is
recommended at frequencies of at least quarterly, using the EPA Draft Method 1633 with results submitted
via DMRs. Until the final method is approved, as it may involve changes to the parameter list, the proposed
quarterly PFAS sampling requirement will include a compliance schedule which delays the effective date
of this requirement until the first full calendar quarter beginning 6 months after EPA has a final wastewater
method in 40 CFR 136 published in the Federal Register. This date may be extended upon request and if
there are no NC -certified labs.
If applicable, describe any compliance schedules proposed for this permit renewal in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2K 0107(c)(2)(B), 40CFR 122.47, and EPA May 2007 Memo: The current permit contains a seven
(7) year compliance schedule for Cadmium, Chromium VI, and Copper, with the compliance date of
Page 13 of 21

NC0024244
9/l/2025. Based on the RPA results, Chromium VI limits will be removed and monitoring reduced to
quarterly; Chromium VI will be removed from the compliance schedule. A compliance schedule was
offered for the proposed Cyanide limits, but the ORC declined.
If applicable, describe any water quality standards variances proposed in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.3(e) and 15A NCAC 2B.0226 for this permit renewal: NA
7. Technology -Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs)
Municipals if not applicable, delete and skip to Industrials)
Are concentration limits in the permit at least as stringent as secondary treatment requirements (30 mg1L
BODS/TSSfor Monthly Average, and 45 mg/L for BODS/TSSfor Weekly Average). YES
If NO, provide a justification for alternative limitations (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA
Are 85% removal requirements for BOD51TSS included in the permit? YES.
If NO, provide a justification (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA
8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge):
The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not
degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation
review in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit must
document an effort to consider non -discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.0105(c)(2). In all cases,
existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is maintained
and protected.
If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives
Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: NA
9. Antibacksliding Review:
Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(1) prohibit
backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a
reissued permit to be as stringent as those in the previous permit, with some exceptions where limitations
may be relaxed (e.g., based on new information, increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL
limits, or WQBELs may be less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution).
Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit (YES/NO): YES
If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated: The facility is currently operating under
an SOC with temporarily -reduced limits for BOD, TSS, Ammonia and Fecal Coliform. Removal of
Chromium VI limits and conversion to quarterly monitor and report is based on evaluation of recent effluent
data plus Hardness data.
Page 14 of 21

NCO024244
10. Monitoring Requirements
Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following regulations
and guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 213.0500; 2) NPDES
Guidance, Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances (7/15/2010 Memo); 3) NPDES Guidance, Reduced
Monitoring Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance (10/22/2012 Memo); 4) Best Professional
Judgement (BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not considered
effluent limitations under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti -backsliding
prohibitions would not be triggered by reductions in monitoring frequencies.
No effluent parameters are sampled at reduced monitoring frequencies.
For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4
11. Electronic Reporting Requirements
The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21, 2015. Effective December
21, 2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs)
electronically. Effective December 21, 2020, NPDES regulated facilities will be required to submit
additional NPDES reports electronically. This permit contains the requirements for electronic reporting,
consistent with Federal requirements.

If you have questions regarding any of the above information or on the attached permit, please contact Gary
Perlmutter at [phone] or via email at gM.perlmutter&ncdenr.gov.
15. Fact Sheet Addendum (if applicable):
Were there any changes made since the Draft Permit was public noticed (Yes/No): YES. Comments were
received only from the City, requesting the second downstream sampling location for Fecal Coliform to be
moved from D2 to D3, citing safety, hold time and receiving water representativeness concerns.
If Yes, list changes and their basis below: The second downstream location for instream Fecal Coliform
monitoring was moved from D2 to D3 at the City's request for reasons cited above. In addition, monitoring
for 1,4-Dioxane and PFAS was increased from quarterly to monthly due to the high concentrations reported
from the landfill leachate that enters the facility.

Process Narrative of City of Albemarle WWTP in support of NPDES renewal October, 2021
The Albemarle WWTP makes use of components of an older original plant combined with
newer and larger components located at a separate area approximately 0.9 miles to the SSE
and downstream on Long Creek. Because the plant is split in two, there are two process flow
and mass balance diagrams but the two campuses work as a single unit.
References for this narrative are the process flow diagrams;
004 LONG CREEK PLANT LAYOUT AND MASS FLOW DIAGRAM — UPPER PLANT.PDF
003 LONG CREEK PLANT LAYOUT AND MASS FLOW DIAGRAM — LOWER PLANT.PDF
Referencing the upper flow diagram (004) we see what looks like a working wastewater
treatment plant. This is the old original trickle bed plant that was retired; however, some
components continue to operate such as the headworks, influent lift station, and primary and
secondary solids holding basin.
The Albemarle wastewater collection system gravity flows into the headworks, comprised of
bar screens and grit chamber. The wastewater, cleared of large solids, then flows to the first of
two influent lift stations "A" and "B". Also seen on the upper plant diagram are waste holding
tanks. WAS from the lower plant enters two primary holding basins where it is gravity settled
with the decant routed back to the first influent PS "A". The thickened WAS is then pumped
over to the secondary solids holding tanks to await hauling for further processing. The screw
lifts of the first influent lift station provide enough head to gravity flow the 0.9 miles to the
second influent lift station located on the second campus.
Referencing the lower flow diagram (003), we see that this site is comprised of an influent lift
station "B", four aeration basins with six surface aerators each, four secondary clarifiers,
tertiary filters, chlorine disinfection, and the plant discharge.
The basins are laid out in pairs, in that the two basins to the southwest are a pair and the two
basins to the northeast are a pair. This can be seen in the 003 flow diagram where half of the
influent from lift station B goes to the splitter box of the southwestern pair (denoted as 0.5 Q)
and the other half of the influent goes to the northeastern pair splitter box. Untreated flow
from the headworks enters at the influent lift station B, where the multiple screws can partition
the flow into one or the other or both splitter boxes located on the berm between pairs of the
aeration basins. In this way the influent flow could go to either two or four aeration basins
depending on conditions. Each aeration basin is equipped with its own clarifier for biosolids
separation making each functionally independent. This also implies that if a problem or

necessary shutdown were to occur with one basin, that the second of the pair could continue to
operate. The pairs of clarifiers contribute their under flow to a single RAS/WAS lift station,
therefore there are two RAS/WAS lift stations in the plant. The ratio of WAS to RAS can be set
by adjusting the RPM of the lifting screws in the lift stations. The WAS flow from the WAS
screws flows to a central WAS pump station that then pumps the total WAS flows back to the
upper campus for decanting and solids separation and storage. The RAS flow from the lift
stations goes back to the splitter boxes on the basin berm to distribute to the aeration basins.
Overflow from the clarifiers flows to a single collection line that conducts the treated flow to
tertiary filters for further solids removal. The effluent of the filters then falls into the
disinfection chamber dosed with gaseous chlorine. The effluent then flows to an aeration tank
for dichlorination and subsequently flows to the discharge point.

SPECIAL ORDER BY CONSENT
EMC SOC WQ S19-007
Pursuant to provisions of North Carolina General Statute (G.S.)143-215.2 and G.S. 143-215.67,
this Special Order by Consent is entered into by the City of Albemarle, hereinafter referred to as
the City, and the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission, an agency of the State
of North Carolina created by G.S. 143B-282, and hereinafter referred to as the Commission:
1. The City and the Commission hereby stipulate the following:
(a) The City holds North Carolina NPDES Permit NCO024244 for operation of an existing
wastewater treatment works and for making an outlet therefrom for the discharge of
treated wastewater to Long Creek, Class C waters of this State in the Yadkin -Pee Dee
River Basin. The City is unable to consistently comply with the final effluent limits,
including Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Ammonia Nitrogen, Total Suspended
Solids (TSS), and Fecal Coliform. The City is unable to comply with operational
requirements as set forth in NPDES Permit NCO024244 due to high levels of inflow and
infiltration entering the City's sewer lines, and the WWTP's inability to handle low
influent concentrations of BOD. The City also holds North Carolina Collection System
Permit WQCS00016 for operation of an existing wastewater collection system, but is
unable to consistently comply with permit Condition 1.2 regarding sanitary sewer
overflows (SSOs) as set forth in Collection System Permit WQCS00016. Compliance
will require preparation of plans and specifications for collection system upgrades
including, but not limited to, pump station upgrades/improvements and sewer lime (force
main) rehabilitation to be conducted in three phases.
(b) Noncompliance with final effluent limitations constitutes, causing, and contributing to
pollution of the waters of this State named above, and the City is within the jurisdiction
of the Commission as set forth in G.S. Chapter 143, Article 21.
(c) The City has secured a grant or has otherwise secured financing for planning, design, and
construction/repairs of the following:
i. New or improved wastewater treatment and disposal system components as described
in Attachment B which, once constructed and operated, will be sufficient to
adequately convey and treat wastewater presently being discharged, to such an extent
that the City will be able to comply with the final effluent limits and operational

requirements as set forth in NPDES Permit NC0024244.
ii. A new or improved wastewater collection system which, once constructed and operated,
will be sufficient to adequately collect wastewater presently being made tributary to the
collection system, within the Sanitary Sewer Rehab Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 such
that the City will be able to comply with permit Condition 1.2 regarding sanitary sewer
overflows (SSOs) as set forth in Collection System Permit WQCS00016.
(d) Since this Special Order is by Consent, neither party will file a petition for a contested
case or for judicial review concerning its terms.

Commission, an agency of the State of North Carolina created by G.S. 14313-282, and hereinafter
referred to as the Commission:
1. The City and the Commission hereby stipulate the following:
(a) The City holds North Carolina NPDES Permit NCO024244 for operation of an existing
wastewater treatment works and for making an outlet therefrom for the discharge of
treated wastewater to Long Creek, Class C waters of this State in the Yadkin -Pee Dee
River Basin. The City is unable to consistently comply with the final effluent limits,
including Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Ammonia Nitrogen, Total Suspended
Solids (TSS), and Fecal Coliform. The City is unable to comply with operational
requirements as set forth in NPDES Permit NCO024244 due to high levels of inflow and
infiltration entering the City's sewer lines, and the WWTP's inability to handle low
influent concentrations of BOD. The City also holds North Carolina Collection System
Permit WQCS00016 for operation of an existing wastewater collection system, but is
unable to consistently comply with permit Condition 1.2 regarding sanitary sewer
overflows (SSOs) as set forth in Collection System Permit WQCS00016. Compliance
will require preparation of plans and specifications for collection system upgrades
including, but not limited to, pump station upgrades/improvements and sewer line (force
main) rehabilitation to be conducted in three phases.
(b) Noncompliance with final effluent limitations constitutes, causing, and contributing to
pollution of the waters of this State named above, and the City is within the jurisdiction
of the Commission as set forth in G.S. Chapter 143, Article 21.
(c) The City has secured a grant or has otherwise secured financing for planning, design, and
construction/repairs of the following:
i. New or improved wastewater treatment and disposal system components as described
in Attachment B which, once constructed and operated, will be sufficient to
adequately convey and treat wastewater presently being discharged, to such an extent

that the City will be able to comply with the final effluent limits and operational
requirements as set forth in NPDES Permit NC0024244.
ii. A new or improved wastewater collection system which, once constructed and operated,
will be sufficient to adequately collect wastewater presently being made tributary to the
collection system, within the Sanitary Sewer Rehab Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 such
that the City will be able to comply with permit Condition 1.2 regarding sanitary sewer
overflows (SSOs) as set forth in Collection System Permit WQCS00016.

4. The City and the Commission agree that the stipulated penalties are not due if the City
satisfies DWR that noncompliance was caused solely by:
a. An act of God;
b. An act of war;
An intentional act or omission of a third party, but this defense shall not be available if
the act or omission is that of an employee or agent of the defendant or if the act or
omission occurs in connection with a contractual relationship with the permittee;
d. An extraordinary event beyond the permittee's control. Contractor delays or failure to
obtain funding will not be considered as events beyond the permittee's control; or
e. Any combination of the above causes.
Failure within thirty (30) days of receipt of written demand to pay the penalties, or challenge
them by a contested case petition pursuant to G.S. 15013-23, will be grounds for a collection
action, which the Attorney General is hereby authorized to initiate. The only issue in such an
action will be whether the thirty (30) days has elapsed.
5. Noncompliance with the terms of this Special Order by Consent is subject to enforcement
action in addition to the above stipulations, including injunctive relief pursuant to G.S. 143-
215.6.C.

supersede any and all previous Special Orders, Enforcement Compliance Schedule Letters,
terms, conditions, and limits contained therein issued in connection with NPDES permit
number NCO024244 and Collection System Permit WQCS00016. In the event of an NPDES
permit modification or renewal, any effluent limit or monitoring requirements contained
therein shall supersede those contained in Attachment A of this Special Order by Consent,
except as modified and contained in paragraph 2(c) above.
7. This Special Order by Consent may be amended provided the City has made good faith
efforts to secure funding, complete all construction and achieve compliance within the dates
specified.
8. During the term of this Special Order by Consent, the City will not be permitted to accept
additional wastewater from any domestic, industrial, or commercial sources without prior

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The current NPDES Permit #NC0024244 was issued on December 1, 2018 and expired on February
28, 2022. A Permit Renewal application was received by the Division dated September 7, 2021.
Permit is for continue operation and maintainace of a 12.0 MGD wastewater treatment system.
Discharge is via Outfall #001 into Long Creek which is classified as C waters in the Yadkin -Pee Dee
River Basin.
The subject facility is under Special Order by Consent (EMC SOC WQ S19-007) with modified permit
parameters for BOD (Summer/Winter), Ammonia Nitrogen (Summer/Winter), and TSS. Please note
that in accordance with SOC WQ S19-007, Item 2. (d), No later than fifteen (15) calendar days after
any date identified for accomplishment of any activity listed in 2(a), Table of Scheduled Activity, the
City shall submit to the Water Quality Regional Operations Section, Regional Supervisor, written
notice of compliance or noncompliance therewith. Please also note that quarterly progress reports
detailing the work and activities undertaken and completed on the upgrades to the collection system
and WWTP are to be submitted.
Flows for the calendar year 2021 were caculated with a yearly average monthly flow of 4.89 MGD or
40.79% of the 12 MGD permitted flow. Flows for calendar year 2020 were caculated with a yearly
monthly average flow of 6.247 MGD or 52.05% of the 12 MGD permitted flow. The noted reduction of
percent flow may be attritubed to reduced yearly average rainfall during 2021. The average rainfall
for the Albemarle area is reported at 48.3 to 47 inches per year. Total rainfall for 2021 was reported
at 35.67 inches.
Enclosed with this report are copies of 12-month calculated averages for permit parameters. Also
attached are graphs of the 12-month averages for BOD (Inf), BOD (Eff), TSS, NH3 as N, Flow, and
Fecal Coliform. It was noted that effluent BOD and NH3 as N reflect affect of high flows. The influent
BOD graph shows reverse affect of high Flows indicating a reduction in influent BOD by dilution.
Compliance history for the 12-month period, July 2021 through June 2022, was reviewed with the
following reported violations:
08-2021
SP-2021-00
Exceeded Monthly Average - TSS
09-2021
SP-2021-0011

NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards - Freshwater Standards
The NC 2007-2015 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA subsequently
approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016, with some exceptions. Therefore, metal limits in draft
permits out to public notice after April 6, 2016 must be calculated to protect the new standards - as
approved.

General Information on the Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
The RPA process itself did not change as the result of the new metals standards. However, application of
the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the
numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge.
The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream) hardness
and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge.
Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The
discharge -specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA
calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal (more on that
below), but it is also possible to consider case -specific translators developed in accordance with
established methodology.
RPA Permitting Guidance/WQBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater
The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern,
based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based on applicable
standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream.
If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the
discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If
monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e. consistently below
detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit.
To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the
following information:
• Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q 10 (the spreadsheet automatically calculates
the 1 Q 10 using the formula 1 Q 10 = 0.843 (s7Q 10, cfs) 0.993
• Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred
• Permitted flow
• Receiving stream classification
2. In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness -dependent metal of concern and for
each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and instream
(upstream) hardness values to use in the equations.
The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for any
hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for instream
hardness values, upstream of the discharge.
If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation using a
default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)). Minimum and maximum limits on the
hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400 mg/L, respectively.
If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness -dependent metal showing reasonable
potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site -specific effluent and
upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using the new data.
Page 2 of 4

Permit No. NCO024244
The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows:
Combined Hardness (chronic)
_ (Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. Effluent Hardness, mg/L)+s7Q10, cfs *Avg. Upstream Hardness, mg2)
(Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q 10, cfs)
The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the IQ 10 flow.
3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total recoverable
metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site -specific translators, if any
have been developed using federally approved methodology.
EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved" converts the value for
dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in -stream
ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients
found in The Metals Translator: Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable
Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion (EPA 823-B-96-007, June 1996) and the
equation:
Cdiss = 1
Ctotal 1 + { [Kpo] [ss(I+a)] [10-6] }
Where:
ss = in -stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1], minimum of 10 mg/L used,
and
Kpo and a = constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved
and adsorbed forms of metals. A list of constants used for each hardness -dependent
metal can also be found in the RPA program under a sheet labeled DPCs.
4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition coefficient (or
site -specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions.
In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist (ie. silver), the
dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion factor to
obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This method presumes that the metal is
dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria development for metals. For more
information on conversion factors see the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document.
5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable concentration
(permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation:
Ca = (s7Q 10 + Qw)(Cwgs)-s7Q10) (Cb)
Qw
Where: Ca = allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L)
Cwqs = NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria (µg/L or mg/L)
Cb = background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or mg/L)
Qw = permitted effluent flow (cfs, match s7Q 10)
s7Q 10 = summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human
health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from noncarcinogens (cfs)
* Discussions are on -going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations
Flows other than s7Q 10 may be incorporated as applicable:
IQ 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity
Page 3 of 4

Permit No. NC0024244
QA = used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of water,
fish, and shellfish from carcinogens
30Q2 = used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality
6. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of concern.
Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date of the permit
application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th percentile upper
concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are compared to the Total
allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary. If the predicted max exceeds
the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations, the discharge is considered to show
reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard, and a permit limit (Total allowable
concentration) is included in the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support
Document for Water Quality -Based Toxics Control published in 1991.
7. When appropriate, permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in accordance
with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to Alexis Strauss on
40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements.
The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and
hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total chromium data
results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical results
based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum concentration (95th %) for
total chromium will be compared against water quality standards for chromium III and
chromium VI.
9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are
inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness -dependent metals to ensure the
accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR RENEWAL
Chemical Addendum and Supplemental Datasheets
Mr. Perlmutter,
In previous correspondence concerning the completeness of the City of Albemarle's NPDES permit
renewal, it was pointed out that the application was short a process narrative to describe the process
flow diagram, and it lacked the Chemical Addendum and Supplemental Datasheet for emerging
pollutants from Industrial Users.
The division was been previously sent process narrative and was accepted.
The Industrial Users in Albemarle include;
• The City of Albemarle Landfill Leachate,
• Auria Corporation, Car Parts
• Creative Dyeing, Textile Coloring
Here we submit the Chemical Addendum and Supplemental Datasheets requested. The two Industrial
users were queried for the types of compounds they use in their processes and they responded with all
of the MSDS sheets of the chemicals they use in their processes. Many of the sheets describe dyes and
resins and ph adjusting compounds mixed with other components. Most of the MSDS sheets describe
the principal characteristics of the material with respect to safety but do not list whether they include
any of the PFAS compounds in the list or illude to any analytical method for testing the material. Here in
we submit the MSDS sheets as reference to these compounds
The City of Albemarle land fill (the third industry) leachate was sampled on 11/18/2022 by Environment
1 and forwarded the samples to Enthalpy Analytical in Wilmington, NC for analyzing the PFAS
compounds and 1,4 Dioxane. Enthalpy Analytical did not use method EPA 12633 for testing but rather
used EU-047 PFAS by Isotope Dilution for non -potable water method. A full description of their
technique is included herein. The value of the PFAS compounds measured are included in a spreadsheet
format titled, ALBEMARLE Chem Addendum - Supplemental Datasheet.xlsx since the method is not
approved.

The single Dioxane test is presented on the file Albemarle Chemical-Addendum-to-NPDES-
application.xlsx. The average daily flow from the landfill over the last three years was 31,591 gallons per
day.

kla(6- 7411- Zai(c( �ppawta�it�
Per a phone conversration on 2/22/2023 with Mr. Purlmutter the City of
Albemarle would like to request moving the sampling location under Section
A.(3.) Instream monitoring requirments, for fecal Coliform to upstream D1 and D3
(approximatley 200 yards downstream from discharge point).
Listed below are the reason we feel that we would like to have these points
considered to be moved.
1- Safety of the D2 site , This is a one lane bridge in a low laying area with little
to no cell service which is concorning in an event of a emergency.
2- Holding time for fecal makes it difficult to get sample collected, transported
and set up within required timeframe.
3- A tributary of Long Creek (Scaley Bark Branch) confluences upstream of the
D2. This in our opinion makes D3,and D1 more represenative of Long
Creeks without other interferances.
In closing we would like to ask for these above reason to be considered as we look
at adopting this permit. We hope that this letter and request will be seen
favorable. If there should be any questions or conserns feel free to reach out to
Brandon Plyler by phone as his email in still down at this moment.
Thanks,
