Subject: Issuance Renewal NPDES Permit
NPDES Permit NCO025071
City of Eden Mebane Bridge WWTP
Rockingham County
Dear Mr. Corcoran:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge 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).
This final permit includes two major changes from the second draft permit send to you on
October 30, 2008.
> The Ammonia Nitrogen calculated April 1- October 31 weekly average limit should not be
corrected from the September 24, 20008 Draft. The ammonia nitrogen policy developed between
the EPA and the state does required both a monthly and weekly average limit once the monthly
limit is required. In this case the weekly average limit is set at 35.0 mg/L.
➢ The Total Silver quarterly monitoring has been removed from this permit. It is redundant since
Total Silver quarterly monitoring and reporting is required as part of the pretreatment program.
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). Unless such demand is made, this
decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division
may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal
requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits
required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or
Local governmental permit that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Ron Berry at telephone number
(919) 807-6403.

(continued from A.(1.) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS)
Notes:
1. Sample locations: Upstream - Upstream at NCSR 1964; Downstream - Downstream at NCSR 700.
Upstream and downstream samples shall be grab samples. Stream samples shall be collected
three times per week during June, July, August and September and once per week during the
remaining months of the year.
2. The monthly average BODs and TSS concentrations shall not exceed 15% of the respective influent
value (85% removal).
3. The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units.
4. Total Residual Chlorine compliance is required for chlorine or chlorine derivative used for disinfection.
The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 ug/1 to' be in compliance with the
permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values reported by a North
Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall below 50 ug/l.
5. Provisional limit and monitoring shall apply as stated in Special Condition A.(4.). Until the limit
takes effect or is removed, 2/Month monitoring is required.
6. Sampling for zinc, copper, and silver should coincide with sampling for chronic toxicity test.
7. Chronic Toxicity (Ceriodaphnia) P/F at 5.4%. Toxicity testing shall be performed in the months of
March, June, September and December (see Part A.(2.).
8. Limit is an instantaneous maximum (i.e. not to be exceeded at any time) not a daily maximum.
9. See Special Condition A.(3.) for list of pollutants.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.
Permit NCO025071
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 5.4%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterlu 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
March, June, September and December. 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, using the
parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ
Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
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.
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.

Background for Permit Renewal
The facility serves the City of Eden (pop. 16,000), the town of Wentworth (pop. 2,700) and four
Significant Industrial Users (SIUs). These SIUs are regulated through the City's pretreatment
program.
At the request of the permittee, June 2006, the permitted flow was reinstated to its previous 13.5
MGD compliance limits and monitoring because of increased industrial influent flow. Since its
discharge is 22 miles upstream of the water supply intake for Danville, Virginia, a color limit
(instantaneous maximum) of 300 ADMI was required. The 300 ADMI limit is based on a 1990
color mass balance model that was used for previous color limit determinations at various
permitted flows and is still considered valid.
Since June 2006 the permittee has failed to meet its effluent color limit only 1 out of the 12
reported measurements. However, the instream color monitoring data shows no definable
impacted on the downstream station located approximately 4 miles below the discharge. Danville
was provided a copy of the draft for comment.
The latest USGS steam data was used to recalculate the IWC and other related dilution factors.
The IWC % increased to 5.35% and was applied where applicable.
Because the receiving stream classification is WS, will submit draft for DEH approval. Also,
because of impact on aquatic species discussed in previous renewal will submit draft copy to NC
Wildlife Resources Commission for comment. Since the receiving stream is the water supply for
Danville Virginia, will submit draft for Virginia Department of Health approval. A copy will be
sent to the City of Danville for comment.

Mr. Berry - I have talked with Allan Brockenbrough of our Central
Office. We have no comments on the two permits. However, in order to
provide meaningful comments, it would be nice if future fact sheets
contained the RPAs in order that we could better understand how the
reasonable potential calculations were completed. Thank you for the
opportunity to comment.

September 24, 2008
Mr. Barry Dunkley
City of Danville
Mr. Robert Goode
Virginia DEQ
As agreed I have attached "read only" (pdf format) files for the 2 City
of Eden WWTP NPDES Permit renewals currently out for public comment.
Each file contains the cover letter and the draft permit with the
required map. As discussed please forward copies to the person and/or
persons in your organization that need to review these NPDES permit
renewals.
Only 1 of the two permits, NCO025071 Mebane Bridge WWTP with 13.5 MGD
permitted flow, met EPA requirements for submittal to the EPA Region 4.
Mebane Bridge also has an approved pretreatment program because of
several industrial sources in its influent.
The other permit, NCO025151 Dry Creek WWTP with a current 0.500 MGD
permitted flow and approved expansion to 1.0 MGD permitted flow, is
considered a domestic waste treatment treatment facility. The City of
Eden has indicated no plans to implement the approved expansion and may
long term close this facility.
Please review and provide comments. If you or your agency/group have no
comments please respond accordingly.
If you have any questions you can contact me at (919) 807-6403 or by
email ron.berry@ncmail.net.

Dear Ms. Bryant:
The Division reviewed the comments in your October 23, 2008 letter for the Mebane Bridge facility. We
have the following additional information to offer and will convey to the City of Eden your concerns about the
impact to the diverse aquatic community in the Dan River.
The Mebane Bridge facility is a domestic treatment facility with an active pretreatment program for it
industrial sources that has a monthly average treated effluent discharge less than 7,000,000 gallons per day.
Mebane Bridge currently has a Total Chlorine Residual (TRC) acute limit, 28 µg/1, that will be continued in the
renewal permit. During the last permit cycle Mebane Bridge had no TRC violations. Mebane Bridge uses
chlorination followed by declorination. Since June 2005 Mebane Bridge has passed all twelve of its quarterly
effluent chronic toxicity tests and the required four second species toxicity tests. There is sufficient power back
up capability to operate this facility. Mebane Bridge is conducting routine instream Fecal Coliform testing at the
same time as it is testing for Fecal Coliform in its discharge. This testing has demonstrated the source of high
Fecal Coliform in Dan River is not Mebane Bridge.
Ammonia as nitrogen, considered a toxic parameter, is limited in the current permit during the summer
months and will continue to be limited in the summer in the renewal permit. No ammonia nitrogen limit violations
have occurred in the current active permit. New stream flow data from USGS was used to recalculate the renewal
permit required ammonia nitrogen limit, 14.8 mg/l a monthly average.
The levels of metals reported routinely to the Division for the effluent, some potential toxic parameters,
were evaluated for possible potential to exceed water quality standards. No possible potential to exceed water
quality standards were found except for one mercury reading. The mercury reading was not consistent with the
other mercury data available. Consequently, in the renewal permit Mebane Bridge will be required to supply
sufficient data to prove mercury is not a concern in the effluent or a limit will be imposed. The Division will issue
the renewal permit with a 18 month provisional compliance condition for mercury and will advise the City of
Eden that in future application alternative disinfection methods should be considered.
If you have any questions, please contact Ron Berry at telephone number (919) 807-6403.
Sincerely
Ron Berry

Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: 23 October 2008
SUBJECT: Proposed Permit Renewal for Mebane Bridge W WTP, City of Eden, Rockingham
County, NPDES Pem it No. NC0025071
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject
document. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as
amended), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), North
Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.), and North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC
10I.0102.
The City of Eden has applied for renewal of its NPDES permit to discharge treated combined
domestic wastewater into Dan River in the Roanoke River basin. According to the public notice, total
residual chlorine (TRC), mercury, phenolic compounds, ammonia nitrogen, and color are water quality
limited.
Dan River supports a diverse aquatic community and there are records for the federal and state
endangered Roanoke logperch (Percina rez), the federal species of concern and state endangered green
floater (Lasmigona subvirdis), the state threatened bigeye jumprock (Scartomyzon ariommus), and the
state significantly rare Roanoke hogsucker (Hypentelium roanokense) in Dan River.
We offer the following recommendations to reduce impacts to aquatic resources, particularly to
the Roanoke logperch.
1. If the facility uses chlorine disinfection, chlorine systems should be replaced by ultraviolet light
or ozone systems. Chlorine is acutely toxic to aquatic organisms and can form secondary
compounds that are detrimental to aquatic life.
2. If not already in place, a stand-by power system should be installed.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this permit renewal. If we can be of further
assistance, please contact our office at (336) 449-7625.

There is one major correction the Division will make, the provisional mercury compliance limit should
not go into effect until 18 months after the permit effective date. During the first 18 months 2/Month
monitoring is required. If after the first 12 months of monitoring you feel the data show no reasonable
potential to exceed the mercury compliance limit then you can petition the Division in writing to
remove the mercury limit and reduce the monitoring frequency back to the pretreatment condition of
quarterly without reopening the permit. If no petition is received or the Division evaluation of the first
12 months mercury data does not support the removal of the mercury compliance limit, the mercury
compliance limit with weekly monitoring is required beginning after the 18 month provisional timeline.
The 2/Month monitorimg is consistent with Division policy for NPDES effluent monitored parameters
for your facility. Unfortunately, we can only reduce the mercury monitoring under the terms specified
in the provisional limit.
Per your written request we provide the following statue quote:
The aesthetic problem, odor and taste, is defined under North Carolina Statute 15A NCAC 02B .0216
(3) "Quality standards applicable to Class WS-NWaters are asfollows:"
(e) "Chlorinated phenolic compounds: not greater than I.o µg/I to protect water supplies from
taste and odor problems due to chlorinated phenols shall be allowed. Specfnc phenolic
compounds may be given a different limit if it is demonstrated not to cause taste and odor
problems and not to be detrimental to other best usage"
After verification of which available data defines chlorinated phenolic compounds the Division re-
evaluated the possible potential to exceed the chlorinated phenolic compounds water quality standard
and has concluded no potential exist and no limits is required. Monitoring requirements will revert
out phenols
back to pretreatment total phenols requirements.
If you
uthave anyThrenewalfurther concerns permit be corre t d

accordingly. The Fact Sheet will be revised to read as follows:
PhenolLc s - Monitoring is part of

requiredfor chlorinated phenolic compounds
because the receiving stream. Dan River, is ctasstf%d as a WS. Evaluation of available PPA data
indicates all chlorinated phenolic compounds are below detection limits so no father action is required.
Future permit renewals will include evaluation of the PPA datafor chlorinated phenolic compounds.
A corrected draft permit for Mebane Bridge NC0025071 will be issued for further comments and
approval. If you have questions concerning this letter please call Ron Berry at (919) 807-6403 or by

NPDES Permit NCO025071
City of Eden Mebane Bridge W WTP
NPDES Permit NCO025151
City of Eden Dry Creek W WTP
Rockingham County
Dear Mr. Berry,
Our staff has received and reviewed both of the draft NPDES permits for our city's
wastewater treatment plants. We understand the changes being proposed and the
reasoning behind these changes, but we still wish to comment on a few of these changes.
Concerning the permit renewal for the Dry Creek W WTP, #NC0025151, there was only
one major change noted along with directives to go along with a plant expansion. We
will not be pursuing a plant expansion. I'm not sure if this section could be removed, but
it will not be needed for the future. We are currently looking at plans for closing Dry
Creek permanently and rerouting all flows to the Mebane Bridge Plant. As for the TRC
limit, we have reviewed the plant layout and have determined that modifications to the
effluent structure would have to be in place before we could effectively chlorinate and
dechlorinate. This pushes us further in our desire to close the Dry Creek plant. We are
hoping to have plans in place within a year to have all flows diverted before the end of
2009. This should keep us within the 18 month timeline that will be imposed to meet the
new TRC limit.
Concerning the permit renewal for the Mebane Bridge W WTP, #NC0025071, there were
several major changes noted but we only wish to comment on two. We see no problems
with the new effluent weekly average maximum limit. We have always seen results less
than our current monthly average, so meeting the new limit should not be a problem. We
have no problems with the reduction in silver monitoring as well.
P. O. Box 70 • Eden, NC 27289-0070 • (336) 627-1009 • Fax (336) 627-9968
We are, though, concerned about the increased monitoring for Mercury as well as the
weekly average maximum limit. We have already budgeted for our annual analysis and
this increase in testing was not planned for. For as far back as 2001, we have
consistently shown < 0.0002 mg/L Mercury in our Effluent. The majority of our Influent
data has also been < 0.0002 mg/L with only five data points being above the detection
limit. Only one date showed a hit of 0.0011 mg/L in the Effluent while the Influent for
that day was 0.0008 mg/L. We feel strongly that this was an erroneous reading either
from contamination through sampling or the analysis itself. Nothing could be identified
at the time to prove a lab error, but with the Effluent being higher than the Influent, an
error would have had to occur. It is not feasible that we would produce Mercury in our
operation. We understand the protocol for reasonable potential, but I'm asking that you
reconsider the length of time for required conditional monitoring. We ask that it be
reduced to 3 — 6 months with the understanding that if another hit occurs, we will
continue the bi-monthly sampling for the rest of the permit term.
Our other concern is with the newly imposed Phenol limit. We are not aware of any
aesthetic problems with the downstream drinking water supply or do we foresee any
problems contributed from our plant due to the size of the stream that we discharge into.
First, we would like to see a Fact Sheet that shows how this limit was initially
established. Next, we ask that you consider a conditional monitoring requirement for a 3
— 6 month period for this parameter with the understanding that if we have any results
above the limit, we will continue monitoring bi-monthly. Otherwise, we can revert back
to monitoring quarterly for the duration of the permit. We know there have been a few
results near or above the new proposed limit, but again, we feel that some amount of lab
error could have contributed to these results. In the past year, we have switched private
labs due to some continual problems and have worked on improving our sampling
techniques from within. Due to the difficulty of treating Phenol once it comes into the
plant, we ask that we be given a chance to prove that there is not a problem.
These above mentioned concerns are all that we have at this time. Thank you for the
opportunity to discuss these issues with your office and present a response for your
review. We will soon lose our largest industrial contributor which will surely impact the
overall makeup of our stream. It will also have a detrimental financial impact on our
facility as well as the community as a whole. Any reconsideration of these matters will
be appreciated.

Mr. Berry,
I checked with both labs and the different phenols are completely different
tests than total phenol. They double checked their results and only total
phenol was run each quarter. We did just get our recent 625 results back
and chlorinated phenol is listed on page 4 as ND. The lab sheets received
from the lab are attached. I hope that these few data points will be enough
to show that we do not have a problem with chlorinated phenols. I'm sorry
that I couldn't find more information. Please keep me informed of what you
find out.

You are reporting phenolic compound values on a quarterly bases to us.
I need to see an actual lab report to understand what is being measured
and reported. Please fax to my attention a complete lab report showing
all the phenolic data and a contact person at the lab so if needed I can

Chlorinated Phenols Comments:
Have recently switch contract labs, which lab reports did I need information for?
Told Melinda only interested in 2006 to 2nd quarter 2008, as these values were used in RPA.
Melinda : As far as what data was provided in report , not sure any value other than total phenolic
shown. Would check one report and let me know. Provided contact person at Meritech Lab. Using Pace
after 2nd quarter 2008. Would ask Pace about how value was determined, is breakdown possible.

Phone: (336) 342- 4748
Client: City of Eden
Ron: Alerted Melinda I would call lab and see if missing data was available. If data not available, not
measured, then would remove data from RPA. If lab required the client to make the request or additional
cost I would contact Melinda accordingly (email preferred).
Other 3 PPAs data points in RPA is total phenolic but chlorinated phenolic data also available. All
chlorinated data on 3 RPAs is below detection limits and as such means no hits on RPA. If no other data
is available then chlorinated phenolic limit/monitoring will be dropped from permit.
We discussed current LMTP plan for quarterly monitor total phenols, not sure why, previous
requirement. Are running both influent and effluent samples for comparison. Suggested the City of Eden
may want to follow up with PERC unit if the NPDES has no limit/monitoring requirement.
Mercury Comments:
Noted in letter City of Eden had no comment on imposed mercury limit. Advised the limit start was an
error, should have been 18 months from effective date as a provisional limit. At the end of the first 12
months the City of Eden could petition DWQ to see if limit could be dropped, reduce monitoring back to
quarterly. Would not drop mercury compliance or 2/Month if data had values above expected limit. If
mercury compliance required then City of Eden would need to pursue identifying source and addressing
accordingly.
Mercury expected limit is a weekly average. To take advantage of this fact, other Permittee have taken
extra 7 day samples and held for testing if needed. Maybe a good way of addressing lab concerns.
Suggest you talk with lab about holding extra samples. Regardless any data generated has to be reported.
Will formally reply with these comments in response to letter.

Malinda,
I talked with Mr. Pawlak, Meritech, Inc. about the phenolic data they provided.
Unless the City of Eden specified a further breakdown the only number generated would
be total phenol. This can be determined by looking at the data supplied when a value
was detected, other data will be listed if requested. Mr. Pawlak would be able to
answer the question from his side if you would provide, the sample day, chain of
custody info.
Please check one of the quarterly lab reports were the total phenols were above 10
µg/l and see if any additional phenolic compound data was reported. As an alternative
you can give Mr. Pawlak the information he needs and see if he confirms no data
beyond total phenols. If it is determined no data beyond total phenols is reported
then I need the City of Eden to respond with statement to that effect.

Mr. Robert Goode
Virginia DEQ
As agreed I have attached "read only" (pdf format) files for the 2 City
of Eden WWTP NPDES Permit renewals currently out for public comment.
Each file contains the cover letter and the draft permit with the
required map. As discussed please forward copies to the person and/or
persons in your organization that need to review these NPDES permit
renewals.
Only 1 of the two permits, NCO025071 Mebane Bridge WWTP with 13.5 MGD
permitted flow, met EPA requirements for submittal to the EPA Region 4.
Mebane Bridge also has an approved pretreatment program because of
several industrial sources in its influent.
The other permit, NCO025151 Dry Creek WWTP with a current 0.500 MGD
permitted flow and approved expansion to 1.0 MGD permitted flow, is
considered a domestic waste treatment treatment facility. The City of
Eden has indicated no plans to implement the approved expansion and may
long term close this facility.
Please review and provide comments. If you or your agency/group have no
comments please respond accordingly.
If you have any questions you can contact me at (919) 807-6403 or by
email ron.berry@ncmail.net.

PHONE LOG: Mebane Bridge WWTP, City of Eden NC0025071
Dry Creel WWTP, City of Eden NC0025151
Left vm for Ralph Potter to return call. Have questions about back up power for both facilities. Had
question about instream fecal monitoring for Mebane Creek.
Melinda Ward, at the request of Mr. Potter, returned the call and provided the following information.
The Mebane Bridge WWTP shares stand by/back up electrical generation with the WTP. The system is
physically located at the WTP and is sufficient to provide.100% power to both the WTP and the WWTP.
The Dry Creek WWTP does not have back up power it uses tablet chlorination. The existing automated
pager/alarm system is independent and will function during a power outage.
The instream fecal monitoring for Mebane Bridge WWTP begun in late 2006, was initiated at the
request of the Dan River Association to address fecal concerns. The data is being send with the DMR as
required by the terms and conditions of the NPDES permit.

Ron,
In response to your inquiry about selected flow characteristics (7Q10, 30Q2, winter 7Q10, average annual
flow) for the Dan River at Eden just downstream of its confluence with Smith River in north central
Rockingham County, the following information is provided:
A check of the low -flow files here at the USGS North Carolina Water Science Center does not indicate a
previous determination of low -flow characteristics for Dan River at the specific location indicated by the
lat/long coordinates you provided in your email. However, the drainage -area files have a station number
and approximate drainage area for this location (station id 02074018, drainage area approx 1,700 sqmi).
The low -flow files do indicate a previous determination for the Dan River downstream at NC Hwy 14
(station id 02074021, drainage area 1,680 sqmi) that was completed in July 1988. No USGS discharge
records are known to exist for your point of interest. In the absence of streamflow, records sufficient for a
low -flow analysis, low -flow characteristics are determined by assessing a range of low -flow yields
(expressed as flow per sqmi drainage area, or cfsm) at nearby sites where such characteristics have been
determined.
Several pieces of information to consider:
(1) The most recent low -flow information published for streams in Rockingham County is in a basinwide
low -flow report completed in 1996. It is USGS Water -Resources Investigations Report 96-4154, "Low -flow
characteristics and profiles for selected streams in the Roanoke River Basin, North Carolina" (Weaver,
1996). An online version of the report is available through hftp://pubs.er.usgs.gov/pubs/wri/wri964154.
The report provides the low -flow characteristics (based on data through 1994) for continuous -record
gaging stations and partial -record sites within the Roanoke basin. The report also provides low -flow
discharge profiles (7Q10, 30Q2, winter 7Q10, and 7Q2) for the reaches of Dan River and Roanoke River in
North Carolina as well as selected tributaries within the basin.
If you access the report, please note the online report files are provided in the ".DJVU" format and require
a particular Lizardtech plug-in, also available through a link displayed on the page. Or you can click an
adjacent link that will allow you to view the report as a group of images without the need for a plug-in.
(2) This report includes low -flow discharge profiles for Dan River. Information in the report specific to Dan
River is as follows:
(a) Page 29 -- Brief discussion concerning development of profiles for Dan River. Please keep in mind the
information concerning NPDES permits is based on those in effect as of 1995.
(b) Page 30, figure 15 -- (A) Drainage -area and (B) low -flow discharge profiles. Based on the low -flow
discharge profiles shown for Dan River, the low -flow characteristics just downstream the confluence with
Smith River (drainage area 1,680 sqmi at NC Hwy 14):
7Q10 = approx. 370 cfs (equivalent to 0.22 cfsm)
30Q2 = approx. 740 cfs (equivalent to 0.44 cfsm)
1 of 3 8/20/2008 7:54 AM
Low -flow characteristics for Dan River at Eden ... Re: Request For Data...
winter 7Q10 = approx. 600 cfs (equivalent to 0.36 cfsm)
(c) Page 16, table 6 -- Low -flow characteristics (including 7Q10, 30Q2, and winter 7Q10 discharges) for
several sites on Dan River located near of your point of interest:
Sta. 02071000, Dan River near Wentworth (drainage area 1,035 sqmi)
Average annual flow estimated at 1.2 cfsm
7Q10 = 175 cfs (equivalent to 0.1691 cfsm)
30Q2 = 415 cfs (equivalent to 0.4010 cfsm)
winter 7Q10 = 360 cfs (equivalent to 0.3478 cfsm)
Sta. 02071500, Dan River at Eden (just upstream of confluence with Smith River, drainage area 1,133
sqmi)
Average annual flow estimated at 1.1 cfsm
7Q10 = 190 cfs (equivalent to 0.1677 cfsm)
30Q2 = 440 cfs (equivalent to 0.3884 cfsm)
winter 7Q10 = 375 cfs (equivalent to 0.3310 cfsm)
Sta. 02074000, Smith River at Eden (drainage area 538 sqmi)
Average annual flow estimated at 1.2 cfsm
7Q10 = 175 cfs (equivalent to 0.3253 cfsm)
30Q2 = 290 cfs (equivalent to 0.5390 cfsm)
winter 7010 = 215 cfs (equivalent to 0.3996 cfsm)
(3) Updated low -flow analyses for the active sites at 02071000 and 02074000 (based on period of record
through the 2007 climatic year) suggest that 7Q10 discharge values have decreased about 3.5 and 13.7
percent, respectively, as a result of the 1998-2002 drought conditions. The climatic year is the standard
annual period used for low -flow analyses at continuous -record gaging stations and runs from April 1
through March 31, designated by the year in which the period begins.
Please keep in mind the Dan River is regulated by the flow releases from the Talbott and Townes
Reservoirs used for storage of water to operate the Pinnacles hydroelectric plant. Likewise, Smith River is
regulated by Philpott Lake located approximately 40 miles upstream in Virginia.
Putting together the above pieces leads to the conclusion that low -flow estimates shown in the low -flow
profiles for the confluence of Dan River and Smith River can still be considered reasonable and
appropriate in view of the data provided for the nearby locations in the Roanoke low -flow report.
Hope this information is helpful.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Berry,
After much research, we have located all of the information that you have
requested concerning our permit renewal application for the Mebane Bridge
Wastewater Plant. Much of the data that had been included by the previous
superintendent was more than was needed. Ralph Potter, our chief operator,
went through the results to verify each analysis result, limit, and procedure.
Some of the information was confusing due to different labs doing the
analysis and reporting different detection limits and names of compounds
testing. We have corrected the supplemental sheet to go along with the data
requested and have included a copy of this corrected form along with the
corresponding lab reports. We are also including copies of our Fathead
minnow test results to make sure that everything is accounted for.
If anything else is needed, please feel free to contact either Mr. Potter or
myself, and we will do what we can to assist you in this matter.
Sincerely,
A

Melinda & Ralph,
Thank you for returning my call and the timely information. I did check our other
files and found copies of PPAs for Mebane Bridge that had been submitted to DWQ for
PPAs taken in July 2004, Sept 2005, March 2006, and Dec 2007. I also located copies
of the 4 fathead minnow toxicity test ran in 2006, attached to the DMR reports.
I still need you to submit the 3 actual PPAs that are used to generate the data on
the 2A Form (Mebane Bridge) and confirm the data matches. Based on the submittal of
your renewal application it would appear 2004, 2005, 2006 PPAs should have been used.
As far as mercury I still need to determine what is the reason for Method 1631 on the
PPA. The person I need to ask is not in today. Unless I contact you otherwise the
current mercury data will be used. Regardless I will let you know what future PPA
mercury analysis method are required. Your internal mercury test are separate and are
in compliance with current DWQ policy.
For Dry Creek we will move forward with the application. I will include documentation
for the file to describe the relationship to the Railroad pump station.
If you have any questions let me know.

NC0025151 Dry Creek WWTP
NC0025071 Mebane Bridge WWTP
Description of process for overflow diversion to Dry Creek
The Railroad Pump Station collects waste from Hanes Brand (textile) and pumps it to Mebane Bridge
WWTP. About 3 times a year the pump station is unable to handle the influent (mechanical, flow, etc)
and the level rises in the pump sump. Eventually the increasing level will activate a high level alarm at
the Mebane Bridge W WTP and spill into a splitter box that gravity feeds the excess to the Dry Creek
WWTP system. The operator investigates the alarm and takes the necessary actions to stop the overflow
to the Dry Creek W WTP. The issue is color and per the conditions in the permit Dry Creek an overflow
initiates compliance sampling as each overflow event occurs. There is no treatment capability to remove
color at the Dry Creek plant.
The pH shift at Dry Creek is more related to instrumentation improvements, not any particular process
changes. Dry Creek is basically unmanned.
Ralph asked about upcoming changes in the permit. At this time TRC will have a compliance limit
imposed and it will be most likely be 28 µg/L, not 28mg/L. Also, DWQ will look at DO. Existing data
show 3 months of DO data below the 5 mg/ L WQ standard. At this time not aware of any other
changes.
Dry Creek uses etc rination and does not use dechlorination. Existing closed pipe runs 1 to 1-1/2
miles from p t jo pan
AtC has pleted for expansion the permit will duplicated existing text in renewal permit.
Based on current information application is sufficient and will proceed with renewal.
Best guess on why only requiring downstream sampling is there is existing instream sampling at
facilities upstream that provide the same data.
Notes on Mebane Bridge
Has an approved pre-treatment program and is 1.000 MGD facility which means EPA will review.
Based on fall 2006 letter from DWQ permittee to provide 3 PPAs whose average values will be reported
on application Form 2A. In addition 4 toxicity tests using a different species are to be provided. The
mercury test method 1631 applies for PPA.
Ralph to (1) check PPA data against data recorded on application, correct data on florm where required,
and submit corrected form and 3 PPA. Mercury method 1631 was not use. Currently, per DWQ policy
tie pre-treatment program uses method 245 which in turn is what is used for PPA. All PPA mercury
data is below detection limit for method 245. Told Ralph not to rerun PPA mercury unless directed to
do so at a later date.
Toxicity test were completed in mid 2006. Test results attached to DMR reports.
DWQ has not evaluated Mebane Bridge DMR data so the only pending addition is TRC compliance,
probably 28 µg/L.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The existing permit allows a permitted flow of 13.5 mgd or 10.0 mgd. The higher flow
has a color limit of 300 ADMI and the lower flow allows a 405 ADMI color limit. In June 2006,
Eden chose to operate the plant at the 13.5 mgd flow limit. For a few months prior the 10.0 mgd
limit was being used. The flow averages approximately 7 MGD. Limits are consistently met.
Recommend that the permit be reissued with the two flow limits.

Gil- here's the compliance feedback from WSRO on the facilities that we highlighted with
potential compliance problems in the Roanoke Basin. Of the 20 listed facilities, WSRO
indicates that 2 have connected, and 2 should have a Special Condition placed in the
draft permit renewal requesting a Wastewater Management Plan to address compliance
problems (see below):
* NCO021075 Town of Madison- no longrer discharging, connected to
Mayodan
* NCO028011 Town of Stonevills- no longer discharging, connected to
Mayodan
* NCO059251 Quail Acres MHP- Require Wastewater Management Plan
* NCO040011 Yanceyville WWTP- Require Wastewater Management Plan
Mike T prepared a generic Wastewater Management Plan Special Condition that can be
tailored to the problems at the specific facility, and permit writers should discuss with
-him. If you think some other facilities on the list might need a Special Condition,
please discuss with Tedder. I'll put copies of the WSRO comments in the NPDES files, to
alert the assigned permit writers of the additional requirements. For the remaining
Roanoke Basin, I've already received feedback from WARO, and I'm still awaiting RRO
feedback (due to us by Oct. 6).

The Roanoke Basin (subbasins 030201-030210) is next in line for NPDES wastewater
permit renewals, with 77 permit renewals falling within three regions: WSRO (n=47),
RRO (n=18), and WARO (n=12). The Roanoke permits begin to expire 1/31/2007, which
means that NPDES staff will start sending drafts to public notice in December06.
NPDES staff attempts to incorporate compliance into permit renewals by reviewing the
compliance record to identify problem facilities, and discussing with the applicable
Regions whether the permit renewal should contain any special conditions to address
continuing compliance problems.
Similar to the Cape Fear renewals, I reviewed a BIMS download of enforcement cases
during 2001-05, and used a subjective compliance threshold of 3+ enforcement cases
over the last 2 years, or 5+ enforcement cases over the past 5 years, to identify
potential problem facilities. This threshold resulted in 30 facilities, spread between
WSRO (n=20), RRO (n=7), and WARO (n=3). These facilities are listed by Region in the
attached spreadsheet. The next step is for NPDES/Region to review the facility lists
and determine what permitting conditions, if any, would be appropriate for each listed
facility. For some facilities, the cases may be older and the problem may already be
resolved, or is currently being addressed through SOC, etc, in which case no
permitting action is necessary. The most common permiting action for a problem
facility has been to add a Special Condition requiring preparation of a Wastewater
Management Plan that focusus on specific problems and how the facility plans to
resolve them.
I'll leave it to the Regions to determine how they want to proceed. Regions can
either review their listings and enter comments on the spreadsheet and send back, or
NPDES can call/visit the Region to discuss each listed facility. Both ways have
worked in the past. Either way, I'd like to complete this task BY SEPTEMBER 30,
before NPDES staff begins the permit renewals. Any permitting conditions deemed
appropriate by Region/NPDES will then be placed in the permit renewal files, and
ultimately incorporated into the draft permit. If Regions have any questions, feel
free to contact me or the following NPDES Regional Office Contacts: WSRO- Charles
Weaver; RRO- Vanessa Manuel; WARD- Karen Rust.
