(1) -EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS During the period beginning on the effective date of this permit and lasting until expiration, the Permittee is authorized to discharge from outfall 001. Such discharges shall be limited and monitored by the Permittee as specified below: PARAMETER LIMITS MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Monthly Average Daily Maximum Measurement Sample Type Sample Location' Frequency Flow 0.010 MGD Weekly Instantaneous Influent or Effluent BOD, 5-day (200 C) 30.0 mg/L 45.0 mg/L 2/Month Grab Effluent Total Suspended Solids 30.0 mg/L 45.0 mg/L 2/Month Grab Effluent Dissolved Oxygen Weekly Grab Effluent, U&D Fecal irm (geometric mean 200/100 ml 400/100 ml 2/Month Grab Effluent TTRC otal Residual Chlorine 17 Ng/L 2/Week Grab Effluent Temperature (°C) Daily Grab Effluent Temperature (°C) Weekly Grab U & D Total Nitrogen Quarterly Grab Effluent (NO2+NO3+TKN) Total Phosphorus Quarterly Grab Effluent pH > 6.0 and < 9.0 standard units 2/Month Grab Effluent Chronic Toxicity3 ' Quarterly Grab Effluent Footnotes: 1. U: at least 100 feet upstream from the outfall. D: at least 300 feet downstream from the outfall. 2. The facility shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC certified laboratory including field certified. However, effluent values below 50 µg/L will be treated as zero for compliance purposes. 3. Chronic Toxicity (Ceriodaphnia) Quarterly @ 90% [see A. (2) for details]. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible_ foam in other than trace amounts. 'Modified May 20, 2009 Permit NC0038822' 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 90%. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterlx 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. If reporting pass/fail results using the parameter code TGP8B, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is sent to the below address. If reporting Chronic Value results using the parameter code THP8B, 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 then 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.

Generation of gas during decomposition can cause pressure MSDS - SELcide 401 Page 2 of 4 AMMONIA TOXICITY POLICY In 1990 the EPA decreed that each delegated State develop controls on ammonia as a toxicant (after years of considering it to be primarily an oxygen -consuming waste). North Carolina uses two instream criteria adopted from EPA research: • Summer instream criteria= 1.0 mg/L • Winter instream criteria = 1.8 mg/L (Note: These are called "criteria" because standards have not been formally adopted for non -trout classified waters in North Carolina.) In order to evaluate whether the discharge has the potential to cause instream toxicity, the allowable effluent concentrations of ammonia (summer and winter) are calculated with the mass balance equation (using the IWC Excel Spreadsheet in Appendix A). Both summer 7Q10 and winter 7Q10 are used in the equation. Ammonia is the only toxicant that is limited differently for summer and winter seasons. An upstream concentration of 0.22 mg/L is assumed. If the allowable concentration is greater than 35 mg/L, no limit should be imposed. If the allowable concentration is less than 35 mg/L, potential toxicity may be occurring. If there was already an existing ammonia limit based on oxygen -consumption, the more stringent ammonia limit should be placed in the permit. If the mass balance calculation indicates the need for ammonia limits, it is Division policy to set limits no more stringent than 2 mg/L (summer) and 4 mg/L (winter) for small discharges (those less than 1.0 MGD). This is based on the Division's determination of BAT (best -available technology) for these types of facilities. Therefore, even if the calculation for a winter ammonia limit yields a 3.5 mg/L result, a 4 mg/L limit would be given. For any new or expanded flow, an ammonia li=older= given. However, for existing flows where potential toxicity may be occ r izMa permit a given the option to have the ammonia limit(s) placed in their permit or to have a quarterly chronic, WET test, pass/fail at the instream waste concentration using Ceriodaphnia as the test organism. Many times the facility will need a compliance schedule to be placed in the permit in order for renovations to be made at the site. Such schedules should be coordinated with the regional office and the permit holder but should not exceed three years.

NPDES Permit # NCO038822 139 Apex Lane, Mount Airy, Surry County, NC Request for Modification of Discharge Limits GeoSci Project #09.109 Dear Mssrs. Weaver and Tedder: RECEIVED DENR - WATER OUALITY POINT SOURCE BRANCH On behalf of Central Care Inc. (CCI) of Mount Airy, Geoscience and Technology, P.A. (GeoSci) is pleased to present this request for a modification to NPDES Permit # NC0038822. This request is in response to NOV(s) issued from the WSRO related to NH3 discharge limit exceedances and is based on various correspondences with Mr. Tedder. Mr. Tedder indicated that "in lieu of ammonia limits, the facility may choose to sample for toxicity using a chronic WET test, pass/fail at 90% using Ceriodaphnia as the test organism." Furthermore, if compliance with Chronic Toxicity (CT) testing could be demonstrated, then a request would be justified to rescind the current effluent limits for NH3 as indicated in Section A.1 of the current permit and replace them with the Pass/Fail limits for Chronic Toxicity. GeoSci contacted Jim Chesire at Research & Analytical Laboratories (R&A) in Kernersville, NC and requested that they perform two CT tests on the effluent. R&A operates the wastewater system at this facility and performs the required effluent analyses. R&A performed CT testing on March 3 and March 9, 2009 and again on March 31 and April 3, 2009. The analyses results indicated `PASS' for both tests. Copies of the certified laboratory analyses results and accompanying Chain of Custody documents are attached. Based on these results, Central Care Inc. requests that the NH3 effluent limits contained in the current discharge permit be replaced by Chronic Toxicity testing. GeoSci and Central Care, Inc. appreciate your time in considering this request. Please contact me at 336.896.1300 or via email: phd@geotec.com if you have any questions or comments about our plans or the project in general.

I will be sending a request in the next couple of days to change the NH3 effluent limitation to Chronic Tox. I am sending a draft to my office for peer review today and should be ready to send out tomorrow or Friday. Steve Tedder suggested that we perform two CT's and they both passed. Thanks for your help.

As you know Central care in Surry county (N00038822) has had NH3 violations for the past 12 plus. -months. They have a long history with NH3 problems, After pulling out the'old zero flow policies I. suggested'' -to them that, they run a tox test just to see the• - results . : -In - 1 ooki ng , at the ; NH3 .values I thought they had a chance toy pass ,the test and they did. I've told them to run one more and if it passes to request a minor permit mod to .drop -the NH3 limit and include a tox. sure wish I had thought of this a year ago cause it -sure would have saved them a ton of money. Anyway,.'maybe we are on the right track.

The first three are small facilities with not a bad history. if thats the best he can do then all is well. Now Central Care is a different beast. Septic tank single pass sand filter. was a 30/30 and we switched to 5/2 some time back. will never meat NH3 as designed. I hit them pretty hard last month and I think it sunk in. They have had certification staff out for TA and have contacted three consultants to evaluate options. Looking at some new technology for bugs as well as recirculating sand filter and on site possibilities. They would prefer to tie onto the city of Mount Airy but they are on the wrong side of us 74. They have been hoping the city would run lines under the interstate, but that does not look like it will happen in the near future. Their history does look bad and they have been assessed about every month for the past two years. they have paid them all. Now that tie to city is out of the question, they know they will have to travel a different path. If they can make a decision and have a timeline, I'd be willing to do soC.
