Sullins Director Mrs. Christine W. Bralley, Town of Mocksville 171 Clement Street Mocksville, North Carolina Dear Mrs. Bralley: Town Manager 27028 April 10, 2010 Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance Permit No. NCO021491 Dutchman Creek WWI? Davie County Dee Freeman Secretary In accordance with the application for discharge permit received, the Division is forwarding herewith the subject NPDES permit. 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 October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). The final permit authorizes the Town of Mocksville to discharge wastewater from the Dutchman Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant to Dutchman Creek, a class C water in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. The permit includes discharge limitations/or monitoring for flow, BOD5, ammonia nitrogen, total suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, total residual chlorine, fecal coliform, cadmium, cyanide, silver, copper, zinc, and chronic toxicity. The following procedure has been implemented by DWQ: Total residual chlorine (TRC) compliance level changed to 50 ug/L. Effective March 1, 2008, the Division received EPA approval to allow a 50 ug/1 TRC compliance level. This change is due to analytical difficulties with TRC measurements. Facilities will still be required to report actual results on their monthly discharge monitoring report (DMR) submittals, but for compliance purposes, all TRC values below 50 ug/L will be treated as zero. A footnote regarding this change has been added to the effluent limitations page in the permit. Please note that it has been determined that the Mocksville-Dutchman Creek WW`IP is now classified as a Grade 3 biological water pollution control treatment system. Based on this change of grade and North Carolina regulation 15A NCAC .0508 regarding tests and measurements applicable to SICs (Standard Industrial Classification), the monitoring frequency for the following parameters will be increased to three (3) times per week: BOD5, total suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, NH3-N, total residual chlorine and pH. The increased monitoring frequency will be effective September 1, 2010 and is designated in effluent page A.(2). 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Location: 512 N.

There will be an additional modification which will reduce effluent monitoring for total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) from weekly to quarterly. This modification for TN and TP will be effective on May 1, 2010. Also, the description of some treatment components of the Mocksville - Dutchman Creek WVTP has been revised on the supplement to permit cover sheet. The following modifications in the February 17th draft permit remain in the final permit: • The deletion of the effluent page for 0.68 MGD based on the completion of the plant expansion to 0.98 MGD. The wasteflow for the plant will be 0.98 MGD instead of 0.981 MGD, based on information in the permit application. • A monthly average and a daily maximum limit for cadmium will be added to the permit based on the results of the reasonable potential analysis that indicated the potential to exceed the water quality standard instream. The monthly average limit will be 7 ug/1 and the daily maximum limit will be 15 ug/l. • Additional treatment components have been added on the supplement to permit cover sheet. Please review the permit cover sheet to confirm these additions. • There have been minor language changes and the addition of a new paragraph regarding data submittal in special condition A. (2) Chronic Toxicity Permit Limits. (The new paragraph is located second from the end of the condition.) • An annual effluent pollutant scan has been added to fulfill EPA's application requirement for major municipal wastewater treatment facilities. • Monthly monitoring for total chromium, total nickel, and total lead has been deleted from the permit based on the results of a reasonable potential analysis conducted on submitted monitoring data. The results indicated that there was no reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards in the receiving stream: , , • The effluent limit for total cyanide has been removed from the permit based on the results of a reasonable potential analysis conducted on submitted monitoring data. The results indicated that there was no reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards instream. It is recommended that total cyanide be monitored quarterly in conjunction with the whole effluent toxicity test. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714.

QUARTERLY CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (0.98 MGD) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 37%. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed. If reporting pass/fail results using the parameter code TGP3B, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is sent to the below address. If reporting Chronic Value results using the parameter code THP3B, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. 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 Section at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during the following month. 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. If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT Forms submitted. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, 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.

I further understand that the new permit is scheduled to become effective in May. However, in order for the Town to renegotiate its operations contract with Davie County, and to allow for budgeting into the new fiscal year, we request that the Town be allowed additional time for Grade III compliance. We therefore request a Grade III compliance extension until approximately September of this year. Thanks for anything you can do. John Grey, PE Grey Engineering, Inc.

Previous permit was issued Julyl5, 2005, expired on June 30, 2009 and has been administratively extended. During the last permit cycle, the existing 0.68 MGD WWTP (which consisted of two parallel 0.34 MGD systems) has been expanded to the proposed flow of 0.98 MGD according to renewal application. The facility discharges into Dutchman Creek, a class C water, in Yadkin subbasin (030705). The plant serves a population of approximately 2200 people. The expanded Dutchman% Creek treatment plant consists of: o Influent pump station w�i�. ew¢c�t Ai ��C.� j�Ne S(Y@QP) o Flow splitter box *v ttve`a1JS Ri �� (�"tiz-5 o Three aeration basins o Thrpp secondary clarifiers o Tworination contact units with aeration o TwAechlorination contact units o Aerobic digester and sludge drying beds Mocksville currently has a modified pretreatment program with one SIU. It is recommended that the modified pretreatment program for the Dutchman Creek WWTP be continued in this upcoming permitting cycle. At the last permit modification/ renewal in 2005, limits were developed for the expansion to 0.981 MGD. A Level B model predicted that the expanded wasteflow would require tertiary limits (BOD5-= 5 mg/l , N113=2 mg/l, DO = 6 mg/1) for the protection of the dissolved oxygen standard in Dutchman Creek. This renewal application indicates the design flow at 0.98 MGD. The new permit will reflect the reduction of 1000 GPD of flow. Existin¢ Effluent Limits (a,, 0.98 MGD Qw = 0.98 MGD Summer BODS = 5 mg/1 Winter BOD5 = 10 mg/1 Summer NH3 = 2 mg/1 Winter NH3 = 4 mg/1 Summer DO = 6 mg/I Mocksville-Dutchman Creek WWTP Fact Sheet NPDES Renewal Page 1 Winter DO=5 mg/ 1 TSS = 30 mg/1 Fecal Coliform = 200/ 100ml TRC = 28 ug/1 pH = 6-9 SU Cyanide = 22 ug/1 (daily max.) Monthly monitoring for cadmium, chromium, nickel, lead, silver copper and zinc. Weekly monitoring for TP and TN Chronic Toxicity P/ F @ 37%; January, April, July and October. Instream monitoring for temperature and dissolved oxygen is waived because Mocksville is member of the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin Association. It is recommended that the existing limits for BOD5, NH3, DO, TSS, fecal, and pH, in addition to the chronic toxicity test of 37%, be renewed at the expanded wasteflow of 0.98 MGD. Limits or monitoring for all metals will be evaluated through a reasonable potential analysis and results will be documented in the RPA section of the factsheet. RECEIVING STREAM INFORMATION: Drainage Area = 108 sq. mi. QA = 108 cfs s7g10 = 2.54 cfs w7g10 = 11.95 cfs 30g2 = 17 cfs Updated flow information from USGS was submitted in January 2005, and the previously used 7Q 10 flow was reduced based on the new calculations. Notes from the 2005 factsheet: During the speculative limit development for this facility, it was determined that the stream flow data previously being used was incorrect. USGS confirmed that the 7Q10 value at this location should be 2.54 cfs, not 15 cfs as had been used in prior permits. A level B model run using this new stream flow information showed that a 0.981 MGD discharge is allowed in this receiving stream, under very stringent limits, however it is unlikely that the assimilative capacity could accommodate any additional future flows from this facility. The facility was informed that there would be a significant change in permit limits at the proposedflow low and they decided to move forward with the expansion request. According to the EAA and discussions with the regional office, much of the flow justification for this expansion is based on the need to relieve high flows at the town's Bear Creekfacility. It was indicated that the town might apply for an expansion at that facility as well. (June 2005- T. Fields) Dutchman Creek was not listed on North Carolina's draft 2008 impaired streams list or the final 2006 303(d) list of impaired streams. The 2008 Yadkin Basin Plan indicates that Dutchman Creek is impacted by habitat degradation with sources of impervious surface, agriculture, and natural conditions. The creek is also impacted by turbidity with sources as impervious surface and agriculture/pasture. TOXICITY TESTING: Current Requirement: Chronic Toxicity P/ F @ 37.5% at 0.981 MGD; January April July October The Mocksville-Dutchman Creek WWTP overall has a good toxicity testing record. All toxicity tests have been passed since January 2005. Recommendation: Renewal of existing chronic toxicity test @ 37% at 0.98 MGD in January April July October Mocksville-Dutchman Creek WWTP Fact Sheet NPDES Renewal Page 2 COMPLIANCE SUMMARY: The Mocksville-Dutchman Creek WWTP has had compliance problems in the recent year. There were enforcement cases in 2008, 2007 and 2005. Problems with meeting the BOD5 weekly average limit (2008), fecal coliform weekly average limit (2007) and cyanide in 2005 and 2006. A review of recent data indicates that there appears to have been some improvement in compliance with limits and a reduction in the frequency of violations. INSTREAM MONITORING: NO INSTREAM MONITORING REQUIRED BECAUSE OF MOCKSVILLE MEMBERSHIP IN THE YADKIN PEE DEE RIVER BASIN ASSOCIATION. STREAM MONITORING IS DONE THROUGH THAT COALITION. REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS: Analysis was conducted using discharge monitoring reports from January 2007 through November 2009, in addition to 2008 Priority Pollutant Analysis (PPA) data. The parameters that were analyzed were cadmium, chromium, copper, cyanide, lead, mercury, nickel, silver, zinc, chloroform and phenols See attached RPA results. • The analysis of the following parameters sampled in the PPA did not show reasonable potential to exceed the chronic allowable concentrations. The maximum predicted concentrations were less than the chronic allowables and therefore no limit or monitoring will be required: Mercury, Chloroform and total phenolic compounds. • The analysis of the following permitted parameters did show reasonable potential to exceed the NC action level standard. Per current NCDWQ procedure, no limit will be recommended since there are no chronic toxicity testing failures or problems. It is recommended that monthly monitoring be continued in the permit for these parameters: Copper, silver and zinc. • The analysis of the following parameters did not show reasonable potential to exceed either the acute or the chronic allowable concentrations. The maximum predicted concentrations were less than the allowables and therefore no limit or monthly monitoring will be -required: Nickel, chromium, lead, • Cyanide no longer showed reasonable potential to exceed the allowable chronic or acute concentrations and therefore the existing daily maximum limit of 22 ug/1 will be deleted. Recommend that cyanide be monitored quarterly in the permit, because the parameter is still being detected in the effluent. • Cadmium showed reasonable potential to exceed the chronic allowable concentration but not the acute allowable. The maximum predicted concentration indicated the potential to exceed the water quality standard instream. It is recommended that a monthly average limit of 7 ug/l and a daily maximum limit of 15 ug/1 for cadmium be added to the permit. PROPOSED CHANGES: The following modifications have been made to the permit: • Cadmium limits of 7 ug/ 1 (monthly average) and 15 ug/ 1 (daily maximum) will be added to the permit based on results of the reasonable potential analysis which indicated the potential to exceed the water quality standard instream. • The cyanide limit of 22 ug/ 1 will be deleted based on showing no reasonable potential to exceed the water quality standard. However, quarterly monitoring for cyanide will remain in the permit because the parameter is still being detected. • Monthly monitoring for nickel, chromium, and lead will be dropped from the permit based on the data analysis showing no reasonable potential to exceed the water quality standard. • Deletion of effluent page for 0.68 MGD. • Modification of wasteflow to 0.98 MGD instead of 0.981 MGD based on information on in the renewal application. • The requirement for an annual effluent scan will be added to the permit based on its new status as a major discharger based on the design flow of nearly 1 MGD. ALL OTHER EXISTING PERMIT LIMITS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS WILL REMAIN THE SAME.

QUARTERLY CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (0.98 MGD) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 379/6. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed. If reporting pass/fail results using the parameter code TGP3B, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is sent to the below address. If reporting Chronic Value results using the parameter code THP3B, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: NC DENR/ DWQ/ Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. 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 Section at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during the following month. 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. If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT Forms submitted. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, 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.

I'm the NPDES dude for classifications Not sure why, but this was set up long ago as a Grade 2 in BIMS. It should, based on flow, be a Grade 3, as you guessed. I can generate a classification letter for them to go out on issuance or before, whichever you think best. According to what's in BIMS, they have a Grade 2 ORC and Grade 3 Backup ... not sure why they chose that route...

One item I still have a question about is the monitoring frequency. Dutchman is a grade III plant. Shouldn't they have 3/week monitoring instead of weekly? Cover letter The town managers name is Christine W. Bralley (not Sanders). She married the county manager. Fact Sheet There is no "s" on the end of Dutchman (found 4 times). For the treatment plant narrative I recommend the following change to the first two items: • Influent pump station with mechanical fine screen • Grit chambers with manual bar screens (additionally, you can add "gas" before chlorination and dechlorination if you want) Draft permit Remove "s" from Dutchman (once first page, twice supplement sheet). On supplement page I recommend the first three items of the treatment components be listed as follows: • Influent pump station with mechanical fine screen • Grit chambers with manual bar screens • Flow splitter box On the effluent limit and monitoring page. • Put footnote "6" beside Effluent Pollutant Scan. The sample type for Effluent Pollutant Scan is listed at "grab". Is that correct? Asheboro's permit (NC0026123) says "composite", East Burlington's permit (NC0023868) says "grab/composite" and Winston-Salem's Elledge permit (NC0037834) says "See A.(3)". I'll let you figure that out. Good luck. I'll send you the signed fact sheet by courier with corrections marked by hand once I hear back from TACU on 3/week.

DEC 3 1 2008 DENR - WATER OUALITY POINT SOURCE BRANCH A process flow diagram and location map (USSGS) for the facility is attached hereto. One signed original and two copies of EPA NPDES Form 2A (with supplemental attachments) is included herewith. Changes since the last renewal include plant upgrade to 0.98 mgd with addition of a new aeration basin, mechanical fine screen, aerobic digester, additional chlorine contact volume and dechlorination. Solids from the treatment facility are drawn from the aerobic digester (or sludge holding tanks) and land applied under contract with EMA Resources, Inc. in accordance with permit number WQ0003351 dated November 17, 2008. Please note the attached USGS correspondence indicating that the 7 day 10 year low flow of Dutchmans Creek is 3.0 cfs. Also note that all four minnow toxicity test results are provided. However, only two PPA test results are attached. The additional PPA samples have been sent for analysis and the results will be forwarded to you as soon as they are available.

Box 9 • Mocksville, NC 27028 • Phone: (336) 751-2110 • Fax: (336) 751-6348 • www.greyengineering.com United States Department of the Interior U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 3916 Sunset Ridge Road Raleigh, North Carolina 27607 January 21, 2005 Mr. John C. Grey, Jr., Project Engineer Grey Engineering, Inc. P.O. Box 9, 151 Industrial Boulevard Mocksville, North Carolina 27028 Dear Mr. Grey: In response to your request for low -flow data, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) does not have site -specific, low -flow discharge data for Dutchmans Creek near Mocksville, NC (station id 0211701350, drainage area 108 mi). The updated low -flow characteristics that are provided on the attached sheet have been computed by cor- relating the runoff characteristics of a nearby USGS surface -water site upstream of the request site. Please note that the flow estimates do not specifically account for the presence of any diversions or regulation, present or future, which may occur upstream of the request site. The upstream surface -water site used as the index site is Dutchmans Creek near Cornatzer (station id 02117000, drainage 83.8 mi2). Available records of discharge at this site include continuous records of daily mean discharge from March 1940 through January 1942 and partial records consisting of 10 miscellaneous measurements obtained during the 1956, 1963, 1970-71, 1973, 1975, and 1979 water years. Assessment of low -flow character- istics estimated for this site in October 1987 (7Q10 discharge of 15 ft3/s) were based on an analysis that used 7 of the 10 miscellaneous measurements at the index site. No previous analyses have been completed using the continuous records of discharge at the index site. A re-evaluation of the low -flow characteristics has been completed for the index site (Sta.02117000) using avail- able continuous and partial records, and estimated low -flow discharges are lower than the previous estimates. However, the updated estimates are more consistent with low -flow characteristics (in terms of yields or flow per square mile of drainage area) at two other upstream USGS sites on Dutchmans Creek (Sta. 02116770, drainage 57.6 mil) and Cedar Creek (Sta. 02116790, drainage 19.6 mi`'). Updated low -flow analyses were also completed at these two additional sites to help clarify the low -flow characteristics in the Dutchmans Creek basin. Available geographic information system coverages of soil maps here in the NC District office indicate that poorly drained soils occur across much of north and northeastern Davie County. The effect of poorly drained soils within a basin suggests that water infiltration rates into the soils would be low (relatively to well -drained soils), resulting in less storage of water within aquifer that would be used to sustain base flows during extended dry periods. This information is considered preliminary and subject to revision pending further analysis as further data were to become available, and is made available through our cooperative program of water -resources investigations with the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
