Brown Boulevard WTP
Discharge Alternatives Evaluation December 2022
1.0 Introduction
I.I. Background
The City of Havelock Public Utilities Department operates a groundwater treatment plant
located on Brown Boulevard that supplies potable water to approximately 5,179 residential,
674 commercial, and 14 institutional customers within their service area (see Appendix A —
Local Water Supply Plan). Raw water is supplied from four (4) groundwater wells located in
the Castle Hayne aquifer. The WTP is rated at 2.80 MGD, and the twelve (12) hour capacity
of the wells is 3.024 MGD. Currently, the average day demand for the WTP is
approximately 1.20 MGD with maximum day demand of approximately 1.95 MGD.
1.1.1 Treatment Process
Raw water flow from the wells is pumped to dual forced draft aerators to strip hydrogen
sulfide. Sodium permanganate is injected at the base of each aerator to oxidize soluble
iron and manganese. Dual raw water aeration tanks receive water from the aerators and
provide detention time to allow oxidation and precipitation of the iron and manganese.
Dual vertical turbine filter pumps in each aeration tank transmit water through the filters
and softeners for treatment and into an onsite ground storage tank for storage of finished
water. The filter softener piping gallery, chemical feed systems, power and controls,
operations room and laboratory are housed in a split face and split rib masonry block
building with precast hollow core panels and built-up roof construction.
The treatment system consists of six (6) pressure filters and four (4) softeners arranged
in two treatment trains of three (3) filters and two (2) softeners each. The trains can be
controlled and operated in parallel or independently. The filters contain greensand
media with anthracite topping. The softeners contain cationic exchange resin. Flanged
ductile iron face piping and automated motorized valves are provided to control the
forward flow of water, as well as the filter backwash and softener regeneration
processes. The Operator can select when to initiate backwash of the filters although a
differential pressure switch will automatically initiate backwash at a 10 psi pressure
differential across the filter. Typically, all six (6) filters are backwashed sequentially
each day. The four (4) softeners are regenerated based on a countdown flow meter to
track the volume of water softened through each vessel. Regeneration for each softener
occurs when the cationic resin is expended based on water flow through each vessel.
Only one (1) softener is allowed to regenerate at a time, and regeneration is prohibited
while the filters are in backwash.
Chemicals utilized in the water treatment process include sodium permanganate for iron
and manganese oxidation, sodium hypochlorite for primary disinfection followed by the
addition of liquid ammonium sulfate to form chloramines for residual disinfection,
blended phosphate for corrosion control, and calcium thiosulfate for dechlorination of
the treated waste stream.

Brown Boulevard WTP
Discharge Alternatives Evaluation December 2022
Finished water is stored in the prestressed concrete ground storage tank. Three (3)
interior, pad mounted, horizontal split case high service pumps transmit finished water
from the ground storage tank to the distribution system and elevated water storage tanks.
The water system includes three (3) elevated tanks. The total storage capacity of the
ground storage and elevated tanks is 2.20 MG.
A Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system utilizing PLC -based
Central Terminal Unit and Remote Terminal Units, along with fiberoptic, radio and
hard -wired communications, provides monitoring and control as required for well
operations, filter/softener control panels, chemical feed pump operations, high service
pump operations, tank levels, as well as reporting, alarms and datalogging at the Human -
Machine Interface (HMI) in the WTP office and remote devices.
Filter backwash utilizes finished water from the distribution system as the backwash
supply. An exterior -located wound fiberglass bulk salt tank supplies brine solution to a
brine day tank located within the WTP Brine Room. Brine is subsequently pumped
from the day tank and diluted by the addition of softened water for the regeneration of
softener resin. Rinse water is supplied by forward flow through the filters. The
filter/softener control panels monitor and control filter backwash and softener
regeneration operations.
Filter backwash and softener rinse waste water is piped through independent headers
from inside the WTP building to a point of connection located outside the building
where it is piped to a 450,000 gallon circular waste settling basin to promote settling and
separation of precipitated iron and manganese solids. The settling basin is fitted with a
sloped bottom, collection sump and rotating scraper mechanism to facilitate removal of
the settled solids. The solids are lifted and transported via a suction -lift solids handling
pump station to sand drying beds for dewatering and drying. Sludge from the drying
beds is periodically removed and disposed of by land application.
Supernatant from the circular waste settling basin is decanted via a telescoping valve
and piping to a waste polishing basin to provide a secondary means of settling prior to
disposal of the treated effluent. A floating decanter mechanism is utilized for primary
withdrawal of the supernatant for gravity discharge into the roadside ditch of Brown
Boulevard which feeds to the regulated discharge point in McCotter Canal. Prior to
discharge, the flow is metered, calcium thiosulfate is injected for dechlorination, and
composite sampling is provided for permit monitoring and compliance.
1.1.2 Waste Discharge
Waste discharge from the Brown Boulevard WTP is currently regulated under NPDES
Permit NCO078131 (Appendix B). The regulated discharge location is McCotter Canal,
a tributary to Shop Branch a SC, Sw, NSW located in the Neuse River Basin. The
location of the WTP discharge has not changed since the plant was initially constructed
in 1989. In 2018, the City of Havelock completed construction of significant treatment

improvements to the WTP waste stream as described above in order to comply with TSS
limits. Those improvements have substantively reduced the effluent suspended solids to
the downstream receiving streams. In addition, the frequent Notices of Violation
(NOVs) and fines received previously by the City for TSS violations have been
eliminated.
Substantial improvements have also been realized with regard to toxicity testing likely
due to blending of the fresh filter backwash waste with brackish softener regeneration
waste into a more homogenized effluent stream. During the 2013 — 2017 timeframe,
prior to installation of the Backwash Waste Improvements, the WTP failed 10 of 12
toxicity tests. Subsequent to completion of the Improvements, during the 2019 — 2022
timeframe, the WTP has only failed 4 of 16 toxicity tests. The Backwash Waste
Improvements, however, were not expected to completely resolve or eliminate Whole
Effluent Toxicity (WET) test failures. The WTP currently performs acute WET testing
for monitoring and reporting on a quarterly basis using Mysid Shrimp performed as 24-
day pass/fail test at 90% effluent concentration.
1.1.3 NPDES Permit
On October 12, 2018, NCDEQ DWR issued the current NPDES Discharge Permit which
became effective November 1, 2018 and expires on June 30, 2023. A number of
modifications were made to the prior permit. Among the additional requirements are (1)
the addition of specific effluent limits for Total Copper and Total Zinc, (2) a discharge
alternatives evaluation due to a history of failed toxicity tests, and (3) a compliance
schedule for Total Copper and Total Zinc.
1.2. Purpose and Scope
The primary purpose of this report is to evaluate and present the findings for discharge
alternatives that might reasonably be expected to resolve periodic failed toxicity tests. A
secondary consideration is to identify the discharge alternative that might also achieve
compliance with Total Copper and Total Zinc limits.
1.3. Location
The subject WTP is located at the intersection of Brown Boulevard and Webb Boulevard
near the southeast end of the corporate limits of the City of Havelock, Craven County, North
Carolina. The WTP is located on a 4.0 +/- acre partially developed site (Appendix C) with
commercial development located immediately to the south and west, and residential
development located immediately to the north and east.
The City of Havelock is home to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point which occupies over
11,000 acres of federally -owned land located northeast of the City, extending to and
including approximately 4.3 miles of the south bank of the Neuse River. The City and
MCAS Cherry point are adjoined on the south, east and west by the federally -owned Croatan
Rivers & Associates, Inc. Page 3

National Forest which occupies over 160,000 acres. The Croatan National Forest extends
and includes approximately 3.2 miles of the south bank of the Neuse River located to the
west and east of the Cherry Branch - Minnesott Beach Ferry Terminal and the residential
areas sited on either side of the Terminal.
2.0 Surface Water Discharge Suitability
2.1 Zero Flow Stream Restrictions
Zero flow stream restrictions apply to oxygen consuming waste in zero -flow streams per 15A
NCAC 2B.0206(d)(2). The surface water discharge location(s) under consideration are
located within the Neuse River. Each of the locations are tidally influenced, and USGS does
not monitor flows in such areas. The nature of the treated waste itself is not anticipated to
consume additional oxygen once it enters into the onsite settling basin. Sodium
permanganate is an oxidant that is utilized to precipitate soluble iron and manganese in the
groundwater for removal by the filters in the water treatment process. Liquid sodium
hypochlorite is used for primary disinfection followed by the addition of liquid ammonium
sulfate to form chloramines for residual disinfection of finished water as it leaves the WTP
and enters the distribution system. Calcium thiosulfate is a mild reducing agent injected into
the waste stream prior to discharge in order to neutralize any residual chlorine. The actual
dissolved oxygen concentrations in the Brown Boulevard WTP waste effluent routinely
exceeds the minimum required for the Neuse River stream classifications as discussed in
paragraph 2.2 below.
Zero Flow Stream Restrictions are not applicable under the circumstances associated with the
discharge alternatives evaluated herein.
2.2 Stream Classification Restrictions
Receiving stream classification restrictions have various discharge restrictions. Two surface
water discharge locations are considered within this Discharge Alternatives Evaluation. The
two locations under consideration are classified as follows (Appendix D):
• Class SB; Sw, NSW @ existing Havelock WWTP Outfall 002 in the Neuse River
• Class SB; Sw, NSW @ Pine Cliff Recreation Area in the Neuse River
Wastewater discharge restrictions for this stream classification is described in 15A NCAC
2B.0220.
2.2.1 Class SB; Sw, NSW Waters
Discharge of treated waste effluent is allowable in Class SB waters subject to reliable
and effective treatment, and discharge quality, quantity and proximity that is acceptable
to the Environmental Management Commission. Fecal coliform restrictions exist within
Class SB waters. However, fecal coliform is not included among the constituents of
WTP waste, and is not monitored or limited by NDPES permit.

The NPDES permit for the Brown Boulevard WTP (Appendix B) includes effluent
parameters with associated limits and monitoring requirements that generally conform to
NCDEQ's Permitting Strategy for Potable WTPs. Two (2) years of Water Production
and Waste Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) results are summarized in Appendix E.
Per NCAC 2B.0222, the surface water quality standards described in NCAC 2B.0220
for Class SC waters are also applicable to Class SB surface waters such as the Neuse
River. Table 1 below presents a comparison of pertinent water quality standards
associated with the Class SB Neuse River as a potential receiving water compared to
effluent monitoring results from the Brown Boulevard WTP waste stream:

The Neuse River also has a secondary classification as Nutrient Sensitive Waters.
Nutrients of concern would include nitrogen, phosphorous, or any other chemical
parameter that may contribute to excess growth of microscopic or macroscopic
vegetation. Nitrogen and phosphorous are typically not significant contaminants in a
groundwater supply. However, they are naturally occurring constituents that are
sometimes encountered. Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous are monitored quarterly
via composite sampling per the requirements of the current NPDES discharge permit.
Total Nitrogen concentrations in the waste stream vary from approximately 0.48 — 1.05
mg/L with an average value of approximately 0.76 mg/L. Likewise, Total Phosphorous
concentrations in the waste stream vary from approximately 0.05 — 0.39 mg/L with an
average value of 0.16 mg/L. These values are well below the effluent limits typically
allowed for treated waste discharge from a domestic wastewater treatment plant, result
in a very small mass loading based on the discharge capacity of the WTP, and are
minimal relative to the large volume and flow associated with the potential receiving
stream.
In addition to the parameters discussed above, the following waste effluent monitoring is
routinely conducted for the Brown Boulevard WTP per NPDES permit requirements:
Salinity — Monthly salinity concentrations for the WTP effluent range from
approximately 1.68 — 12.0 ppt with an average of approximately 3.78. Salinity within
the lower Neuse River Estuary typically ranges from 10 — 30 ppt with an average of
approximately 15 ppt during periods of normal rainfall. Drought conditions can
result in the salinity concentrations in the estuary exceeding 20 ppt.
Conductivity — Monthly conductivity concentrations range from approximately 3,230
— 20,100 umhos/cm with an average of approximately 6,817 umhos/cm.
TDS — Monthly total dissolved solids concentrations in the waste stream vary from
approximately 2,000 — 13,000 mg/L with an average of 4,366 mg/.
Total Chloride — Monthly chloride concentrations range from approximately 925 —
8,630 mg/L with an average of approximately 2,607 mg/L.
Total Iron — Monthly chloride concentrations range from approximately 387 — 2,002
ug/L with an average concentration of approximately 956 ug/L
Ammonia Nitrogen — Monthly ammonia nitrogen concentrations in the waste stream
range from approximately 0.04 — 1.29 mg/L with an average of 0.17 mg/L.
Manganese — Monthly manganese concentrations in the waste stream range from
approximately 156 — 664 ug/L with an average of 346 ug/L.
Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) — Aquatic Acute Toxicity Pass/Fail Monitoring is
performed quarterly for Mysid Shrimp at 90% effluent concentration. During the past

two years, the WTP has failed this test twice. During the past four years, the WTP
has failed this test four quarters.
2.3 Basinwide Water Quality Plan
The two potential discharge locations under consideration in this Discharge Alternatives
Evaluation are located in the Bend segment of Subbasin 03-04-10 just upstream of the river's
constriction at the Cherry Point — Minnessott Beach Ferry Terminal (Appendix D). The first
potential discharge location is a combined discharge with the existing Havelock WWTP
Neuse River diffuser (Outfall 002 - NPDES Permit NC0021253). A new WTP Effluent
Pump Station and 10" diameter effluent force main would connect to the existing 24"
diameter WWTP effluent force main serving WWTP Outfall 002. WWTP Outfall 002
discharges via an 80-feet long multi -port diffuser located approximately 2,000 feet from the
southern bank of the Neuse River just north of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point
(34°,57'11"N, 76°,52',37"W). The WWTP and WTP effluent flows and associated sampling
would be separately maintained and monitored until they are combined in the effluent outfall
force main, cascade aerator and diffuser. The second potential discharge location is a new
discharge located in the Neuse River near the Pine Cliff Recreation Area (Croatan National
Forest) located just west of the river's constriction at the Ferry Terminal. The discharge
would consist of a new WTP Effluent Pump Station, new 12" diameter effluent force main,
directionally drilled subaqueous pipeline and multi -port diffuser.
The Neuse River Basinwide Water Quality Plan was last updated in 2009. The two potential
discharge locations are both located within Assessment Unit Number 27-(104)b which
encompasses the segment of the Neuse River from a line across the River from 1.2 miles
upstream of Slocum Creek to 0.5 miles upstream of Beard's Creek to a line across the River
from Wilkinson Point to Cherry Point. Early assessments of this River segment referenced in
the 2009 Basinwide Plan and contemporaneous 303 (d) lists indicate the aquatic life within
this River segment to be "impaired" for Chlorophyll a and High pH, but "supporting" for
recreational use. The "impaired" classification is assigned when sampling indicates the
pollutant concentration exceeds the evaluation level (water quality standard, action level,
Ecological threshold, etc.) more than 10 percent of the observed samples. The River segment
of interest has not appeared on the NC 303(d) list since 2010.
2.4 Impaired Waters & Total Daily Maximum Limits (TMDLs)
The current 303(d) Impaired Waters List was finalized in 2022. The Neuse River segment
under consideration as potential receiving waters in this Evaluation has not appeared on the
NC 303(d) list since 2010.
2.5 Presence of Endangered Species
Current and/or prior existence of threatened or endangered species in the Neuse River Basin
are well documented by the NCDEQ Basinwide Water Quality Plan, US Fish and Wildlife
Service, NC Wildlife Resources Commission, and NC Natural Heritage Program. Appendix

F includes documentation obtained from these various resource agencies relative to plant and
animal species that are listed as endangered, threatened, of special concern, or significantly
rare that are potentially affected by activities within the project area under consideration.
Definitions for each of these classifications are as follows:
• Endangered species are in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion
of its range.
• A threatened species is likely to become an endangered species in the foreseeable
future.
• Special concern species require monitoring, but may be taken or collected under
specific regulatory requirements.
• A significantly rare species is rare in North Carolina, but has no official state status as
such.
• A federal species of concern refers to a species that is under consideration for listing,
but at present insufficient information exists to support listing.
2.5.1 Birds
Among avians, only one (1) species is federally classified as endangered, the Red -
cockaded Woodpecker, Picoides borealis (RCW). The RCW is a territorial, non -
migratory species that excavate roosts and nest cavities in living pine trees. Longleaf
pine is the preferred species for excavation; however, loblolly, shortleaf, slash and pond
pine are also used depending on availability. Mature trees are required such that
sufficient heartwood is available for a sap -free cavity. RCW is a primary cavity nester
since it constructs the cavity in which it resides. Other secondary cavity nesters benefit
from the RCW's construction. These include other birds, snakes, lizards, squirrels and
frogs. No critical habitat has been designated for this species.
The Red Knot, Calidris canutus rufa, is federally listed as threatened. The Red Knot is a
medium-sized shorebird which breeds in tundra and Arctic Cordillera in the far north of
Canada, Europe and Russia. It makes one of the largest annual migrations of any bird
traveling 9,300 miles from its Arctic breeding grounds to the southern part of South
America. The species is regularly sighted along the NC coast during winter migration.
However, the number have been reduced due to the decline/over-harvest of crabs in the
Delaware Bay. Knots favor tidal water for foraging, and crab eggs laid on Delaware
beaches fuel their flight to the northern breeding grounds. There is a proposed critical
habitat for this species.
The Eastern Black Rail, Laterallus jamaicensis ssp jamaicensis, is federally listed as
threatened. The Eastern Black Rail is a sparrow -sized, secretive marsh bird, and the
smallest rail in North America. Adults have an average length of 4 — 6 inches and a
wingspan of 8.7 — 11 inches. Black rails required dense vegetative cover that allows
movement under the canopy. They are found in a variety of salt, brackish, and freshwater
marsh habitats that can be tidally or non -tidally influenced. North Carolina presently
Rivers & Associates, Inc. Page 8

shows a severe decline in the number of occupied sites. No critical habitat has been
designated for this species.
2.5.2 Fishes
There are no endangered or threatened fish species within this area.
2.5.3 Mammals
The Northern Long-eared Bat, Myotis septentrionalis, is federally listed as an endangered
species. This bat has a medium sized body of 3 — 3.7 inches, a wingspan of 9 - 10 inches,
and long ears when compared to other bats of the same genus. In winter, the bats
hibernate in caves and mines where constant temperatures, high humidity and no air
current prevail. During summer, Northern Long-eared Bats roost singly or in colonies
beneath bark or in cavities of live and dead trees. Rarely, does this species roost in
structures such as barns or sheds. The bat's range extends through much of eastern and
north central United States, as well as all Canadian provinces. Populations of the
Northern Long-eared Bat have declined primarily due to a disease known as white -nose
syndrome. This disease has quickly spread from the Northeast to the Midwest and
Southeast U.S. Numbers of the bats have declined by as much as 99 percent in the
Northeast, and that decline is expected to continue in the foreseeable future as white -nose
syndrome spreads throughout the species' range. No critical habitat has been designated
for this species.
The Tricolored Bat, Perimyotis subflavus, is proposed endangered and is one of the
smallest bats native to North America. The once common species is wide ranging across
the eastern and central United States and portions of southern Canada, Mexico and
Central America. During the winter, tricolored bats are found in caves and mines,
although in the southern United States, where caves are sparse, tricolored bats are often
found roosting in road -associated culverts. During the spring, summer and fall, tricolored
bats are found in forested habitats where they roost in trees, primarily among leaves. As
its name suggests, the tricolored bat is distinguished by its unique tricolored fur that
appears dark at the base, lighter in the middle and dark at the tip. White -nose syndrome,
a disease that impacts bats, is caused by a fungal pathogen. It has led to 90 to 100%
declines in tricolored bat winter colony abundance at sites impacted by the disease. Since
white -nose syndrome was first observed in New York in 2006, it has spread
rapidly across the majority of the tricolored bat range. No critical habitat has been
designated for this species.
The West Indian Manatee, Trichechus manatus, is federally listed as a threatened marine
mammal. The West Indian manatee is a large, aquatic mammal. There are two
subspecies of West Indian manatees: the Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus
manatus) and the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris). Due to their eating
habits, manatees are nicknamed "sea cows", because they eat seagrasses and other
aquatic plants. The range -wide population is estimated to be at least 13,000 manatees,

with more than 6,500 in the southeastern United States and Puerto Rico. When aerial
surveys began in 1991, there were an estimated 1,267 manatees in Florida. Today there
are more than 6,300 in Florida, representing a significant increase over the past 25 years.
There is a final critical habitat for this species; however, this project area does not overlap
the critical habitat.
2.5.4 Reptiles
The American Alligator, Alligator Mississippiensis, is federally protected as threatened
due to similarity of appearance with other listed crocodile or caiman species. The
American Alligator was depleted from many parts of their range as a result of market -
hunting and habitat loss, and was listed as endangered in 1967. However, the combined
efforts of US Fish and Wildlife and State Wildlife Agencies saved these animals. In
1987, US FWS declared the American Alligator to be fully recovered, and removed the
animal from the list of endangered species, but continues to offer protection as threatened
due to similarity of appearance. No critical habitat has been designated for this species.
The Green Sea Turtle, Chelonia mydas, is federally listed as threatened. This turtle is the
largest of all hard -shelled sea turtles, but has a comparatively small head. A typical adult
is 3 — 4 feet long and weighs 300 — 350 pounds. They have dark brown, grey, or olive
colored shells and a much lighter, yellow -to -white underside. Green Sea Turtle must
surface to breathe and lay their eggs on land. They migrate hundreds to thousands of
miles each way between their foraging grounds and nesting beaches. They are solitary,
night-time nesters. Their diet consists of algae and seagrasses, though they also forage on
sponges, invertebrates, and discarded fish. They are found worldwide in subtropical and
temperate regions of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, as well as the
Mediterranean Sea. In the U.S., Green Sea Turtles are found in inshore and nearshore
waters from Texas to Maine. There is a final critical habitat for this species; however,
this project location does not overlap the critical habitat.
Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle is federally listed as an endangered species. Kemp's Ridley
sea turtles are considered the smallest marine turtles in the world and are also the most
endangered. The Kemp's Ridley has a triangular -shaped head and a slightly hooked beak
with large crushing surfaces. Adults have a nearly circular top shell that's grayish green,
while the bottom shell is pale yellow to cream in color. Hatchlings are black on both
sides. On average, adults weigh about 100 pounds with a top shell measuring between 24
to 28 inches in length. Kemp's Ridleys are usually found in nearshore and inshore waters
of the northern Gulf of Mexico, especially in Louisiana waters, which are their primary
feeding grounds. Known for their unique synchronized nesting habit, large groups of
Kemp's Ridleys gather off a particular nesting beach near Rancho Nuevo, Mexico, in the
state of Tamaulipas. Females then come ashore in subsequent waves to nest. There is a
proposed critical habitat for this species.
The Leatherback Sea Turtle, Dermochelys coriacea, is the largest turtle in the world. It
is federally listed as endangered. They are the only species of sea turtle that lack scales

and a hard shell. They are named for their tough rubbery skin and have existed in their
current form since the age of the dinosaurs. Leatherbacks are highly migratory, some
swimming over 10,000 miles a year between nesting and foraging grounds. They are also
accomplished divers with the deepest recorded dive reaching nearly 4,000 feet —deeper
than most marine mammals. The leatherback turtle has the widest global distribution of
any reptile, with nesting mainly on tropical or subtropical beaches. Once prevalent in
every ocean except the Arctic and Antarctic, the leatherback population is rapidly
declining in many parts of the world. They face threats on both nesting beaches and in the
marine environment. The greatest of these threats worldwide are incidental capture in
fishing gear (bycatch), hunting of turtles, and collection of eggs for human consumption.
There is a final critical habitat for this species; however, this project location does not
overlap the critical habitat.
2.5.5 Insects
The Monarch Butterfly, Danaus plexippus, is a candidate threatened or endangered
species. The large and brilliantly -colored monarch butterfly is among the most easily
recognizable of the butterfly species that call North America home. They have two sets of
wings and a wingspan of three to four inches. Their wings are a deep orange with black
borders and veins, and white spots along the edges. The underside of the wings is pale
orange. Male monarchs have two black spots in the center of their hind wings, which
females lack. These spots are scent glands that help males attract female mates. Females
have thicker wing veins than males. The butterfly's body is black with white markings.
Monarch butterflies are found across North America wherever suitable feeding, breeding,
and overwintering habitat exists. They are broken into two populations separated by the
Rocky Mountains, called the eastern and the western populations. Whether monarchs are
present in a given area within their range depends on the time of year. They are one of the
few migratory insects, traveling great distances between summer breeding habitat and
winter habitat where they spend several months inactive. In the summer they range as far
north as southern Canada. In the fall the eastern population migrates to the cool, high
mountains of central Mexico and the western population migrates to coastal California,
where they spend the entire winter. No critical habitat has been designated for this
species.
2.5.6 Plants
The Rough -leaved Loosestrife, Lysimachia asperulaifolia, is federally listed as
endangered. Rough -leaf loosestrife is a perennial herb that grows 11.8 — 23.6 inches tall.
The triangular shaped leaves are often opposite on shorter stems and tend to be arranged
in whorls of three or four encircling taller stems. The leaves are widest at the base (0.3 —
0.8 in wide) and have three prominent veins. Contrary to the common name, the leaf
surfaces are smooth to the touch. The yellow flowers are 0.6 inches across with yellow -
orange anthers and occur on terminal racemes that are 1.2 — 3.9 in long. Flowering occurs
from mid -May through June, with fruits present from July through October. This species
generally occurs on the edges between longleaf pine uplands and pond pine pocosins on
Rivers & Associates, Inc. Page 11

City of Havelock
Brown Boulevard WTP
Discharge Alternatives Evaluation December 2022
moist to seasonally saturated sands and on shallow organic soils overlaying sand. Rough -
leaf loosestrife has also been found on deep peat in the low shrub community of large
Carolina bays. No critical habitat has been designated for this species.
2.5.7 Designated Critical Habitat
Critical habitat as defined and used in the Endangered Species Act is "specific
geographic areas that contain features essential to the conservation of endangered or
threatened species and that may require special management and protection". Critical
habitat may also include areas that are not currently occupied by the species but will be
needed for its recovery.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have not designated any critical habitat in the potential
project location for currently listed threatened and endangered species.
2.6 Brown Boulevard WTP Proposed Disposal Impacts
Construction of the Brown Boulevard WTP Backwash Solids discharge alternatives are not
expected to negatively impact any of the endangered, threatened, rare or other species of
concern discussed above. In some cases, the proposed discharge alternatives can be expected
to potentially improve impacts relative to the permitted or existing condition by relocating it
to larger receiving waters.
The City of Havelock completed construction of Backwash Solids treatment improvements
in 2018. The existing treatment system receives the combined filter backwash and softener
regeneration waste lines from the Brown Boulevard WTP and directs it to a 450,000 gallon
waste settling basin via pressurized backwash flow. The settling basin provides a quiescent
environment for precipitated iron and manganese removed from the filters to settle. In
addition, the softener brine regeneration waste mixes with fresh water from the filter
backwash to produce a more dilute brine waste effluent stream. Following primary settling
of the waste, supernatant is decanted from the settling basin to a 63,000 gallon secondary
waste polishing basin with floating decanter mechanism. This basin provides a second
opportunity for solids settling prior to final decant, dechlorination, composite sampling and
discharge to the currently permitted location in McCotter Canal.
In general, the proposed discharge alternatives are intended to relocate the final discharge to
a much larger receiving waterbody in order to facilitate rapid dilution and dispersion of
remaining pollutants within a regulated mixing zone in the Neuse River (Appendix D).
Discharge Alternative No.I is a combined discharge with the existing Havelock WWTP
Neuse River diffuser. It will consist of a new WTP Effluent Pump Station and 10" diameter
effluent force main to connect to the existing 24" diameter WWTP effluent force main
serving WWTP Outfall 002. WWTP Outfall 002 discharges via an 80-feet long multi -port
diffuser located approximately 2,000 feet from the southern bank of the Neuse River just
north of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. The WWTP and WTP effluent flows and
associated sampling would be separately maintained and monitored until they are combined
Rivers & Associates, Inc. Page 12

City of Havelock
Brown Boulevard WTP
Discharge Alternatives Evaluation December 2022
in the effluent outfall force main, cascade aerator and diffuser. Discharge Alternative No. 2
is a new discharge located in the Neuse River near the Pine Cliff Recreation Area (Croatan
National Forest) located just west of the river's constriction at the Ferry Terminal. The
discharge would consist of a new WTP Effluent Pump Station, new 12" diameter effluent
force main, directionally drilled subaqueous pipeline and multi -port diffuser.
The majority of construction activities associated with the WTP Effluent Pump Station and
force main will be limited to existing cleared WTP property and cleared City and NCDOT
rights of way. Alternative No.I involves construction within previously developed corridors
for the entire length. In addition, it makes common use of the existing 24" force main,
cascade aerator and effluent diffuser that already exist across MCAS Cherry Point and into
the Neuse River. Alternative No.2 makes use of existing NCDOT rights of way to the extent
possible. Its route extends through rural, much less densely developed, and federally
protected areas within the Croatan National Forest to the Pine Cliff Recreation Area. This
route will require more parallel clearing than that of Alternative No.1. The final segment of
the route is proposed to extend along NCSR 1732 which is a rustic, gravel road contained
within a 30 — 35' wide cleared corridor that extends from NC Hwy 306 — Ferry Road to the
shore of the Neuse River at Pine Cliff Recreation Area through the Croatan National Forest.
Pine Cliff Recreation Area is a public recreational site located on a sandy shoreline of the
Neuse River that offers a picnic shelter, fishing and hiking. Alternative No. 2 will also
require installation of a new subaqueous force main (1,000 LF estimated length) and 12"
diameter diffuser (40 LF estimated length) similar, albeit smaller, to that of the existing
WWTP.
Alternative No. 1 is expected to have no negative impacts on threatened or endangered
(T&E) birds, mammals, reptiles, and plants. Furthermore, it makes use of the existing
WWTP effluent and diffuser to improve dilution for both the WTP and WWTP discharges.
Alternative No. 2 is also expected to have no negative impacts on threatened and endangered
(T&E) birds, mammals, reptiles, and plants given that the proposed route is within or
immediately adjacent to existing roadways. It will, however, require installation of a new
discharge location within the Neuse River. This location is adjacent to a public recreation
site owned by the U.S. government and operated by the National Forest Service. Although
this receiving water location is classified identically to that of the WWTP discharge location,
it is located only 2,800 feet upstream from the Class SA: HQW, NSW River segment that
begins near the Cherry Point — Minnessott Beach Ferry Terminal. As such, this discharge
location might be considered to have a more negative impact on receiving waters than
Alternative No. 1.
2.6.1 Nutrient Discharge Limits
The Brown Boulevard WTP is a pressure filtration and ion exchange softening treatment
facility. The source of water is groundwater from the Castle Hayne Aquifer. The
current and anticipated NPDES discharge permit for this type of facility includes
quarterly monitoring for Ammonia Nitrogen, TKN, Nitrate + Nitrite, Total Nitrogen,
and Total Phosphorous. As indicated in Section 2.2 above, the values for each
Rivers & Associates, Inc. Page 13

City of Havelock
Brown Boulevard WTP
Discharge Alternatives Evaluation December 2022
constituent are well below the effluent limits typically allowed for treated waste
discharge from a domestic wastewater treatment plant, result in a very small mass
loading based on the discharge capacity of the WTP, and are minimal relative to the
large volume and flow associated with the receiving waters. Furthermore, the dilution
capability of the receiving waters under evaluation will be much greater than that
provided or permitted previously by McCotter Canal, a Class SC; Sw, NSW low flow
freshwater tributary to the Neuse River. As such, the proposed discharge is not
anticipated to contribute consequentially to eutrophication.
2.6.2 Sediment Discharge Limits
The current and anticipated NPDES discharge permit for the Brown Boulevard WTP
includes a monthly average limit for total suspended solids (TSS) of 30 mg/L and daily
maximum of 45 mg/L. The reported values for the past two years equate to 5.87 mg/L
monthly average. The recent Backwash Solids treatment upgrades have provided
significant improvement to the effluent TSS values observed previously. Supernatant
discharged from the treatment works should provide similar results to a substantially
larger water body. As such, the expected overall impact is considered a favorable
improvement.
2.6.3 Dissolved Oxygen
As noted above in Paragraph 2.1, the nature of the treated waste from the Brown
Boulevard WTP would not be expected to consume additional oxygen once it enters the
proposed onsite settling tanks. Sodium permanganate is an oxidant utilized in the water
treatment process to precipitate soluble iron and manganese from raw water such that
the particles can be removed via filtration. Liquid chlorine is utilized for primary and
residual disinfection of finished water as it enters the distribution system. Since finished
water is also used for backwashing the filters and softeners, calcium thiosulfate, a mild
reducing agent, is injected to neutralize the effects of any residual chlorine in the waste
stream. Based on the past two years of DMRs, the DO in the effluent stream has
averaged 8.94 mg/L with a minimum value of 6.79 mg/1 all of which routinely exceed
the water quality standard of 5.0 mg/L. The treated waste discharge from the Brown
Boulevard WTP is not expected to contribute to low dissolved oxygen in the receiving
waters.
2.6.4 Copper
Effluent limits for Total Copper were added to the current NPDES discharge permit at
the most recent renewal (3.7 ug/L monthly average and 5.80 ug/L daily maximum).
Subsequent to receiving the limits, the City altered their sampling and testing to the low-
level testing protocol. For the past two years, the vast majority of the observed
concentrations have resulted in monthly average copper concentrations < 2 ug/L.
However, there are four excursions that have been as high as 8 ug/L. A Reasonable
Potential Analysis (Appendix G) was conducted based on the past two years of data.
Rivers & Associates, Inc. Page 14

City of Havelock
Brown Boulevard WTP
Discharge Alternatives Evaluation December 2022
The results indicate there is reasonable potential to expect a Total Copper effluent
concentration as high as 11.2 ug/L. Dilution by relocating the discharge to a regulatory
mixing zone within the larger receiving waters of the Neuse River can be expected to
quickly reduce these occasional excursions to acceptable surface water standards.
2.6.5 Zinc
Effluent limits for Total Zinc were added to the current NPDES discharge permit at the
most recent renewal (85.6 ug/L monthly average and 95.1 ug/L daily maximum). For
the past two years, the observed concentrations have resulted in monthly average zinc
concentrations of 49.55 ug/L. However, there are excursions that exceed the current
limits. A Reasonable Potential Analysis (Appendix G) was conducted based on the past
two years of data. The results indicate there is reasonable potential to expect a Total
Zinc effluent concentration as high as 189.0 ug/L (95% confidence interval, 95%
probability basis). Dilution by relocating the discharge to a regulatory mixing zone
within the larger receiving waters of the Neuse River can be expected to quickly reduce
the higher concentrations to within acceptable surface water standards.
2.6.4 Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET)
The current and anticipated discharge permit for the Brown Boulevard WTP includes
Acute Toxicity Pass/Fail Monitoring on a quarterly basis. Monitoring is performed as a
Mysid Shrimp (Mysidopsis Bahia) 24-hour static test. The effluent concentration at
which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90%. During the past two
years, the Brown Boulevard WTP has failed the WET test two of eight times. During
the past four years, the WTP has failed the WET test four of sixteen times. Toxicity test
results can be influenced by numerous factors such as residual chlorine concentration,
chloride concentration, salinity, conductivity, metals concentration, pH, sampling and
testing procedures, etc. Many eastern North Carolina water purveyors are struggling to
routinely and consistently pass the WET test requirements. Dilution by relocating the
discharge to a regulatory mixing zone within the larger receiving waters of the Neuse
River is expected to significantly reduce the sample/testing concentration from 90% to
that which can be supported by the dilution evaluation/model. The greater the dilution
with associated reduced sample/testing concentration, the more likely WET test results
will be reliably and consistently acceptable.
2.6.5 BOD Limitations
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) limitations are applicable and always incorporated
by NPDES permit as a limit and gauge for effectiveness of treatment processes
associated with domestic and industrial wastewater treatment plants. However, BOD is
not an applicable limit, nor is it required, by NPDES permit for water treatment waste
discharges of the type generated by this facility. No impact is anticipated.
Rivers & Associates, Inc. Page 15

2.6.6 Stormwater Management
During construction, temporary impacts may be experienced. However, the project will
be designed to comply with all State and local stormwater regulations and requirements.
Permits will be obtained as applicable, and measures will be employed as required to
mitigate potential impacts.
2.6.7 Riparian and Wetland Buffers
This project will be designed to comply with all riparian and wetland buffer
requirements with associated permitting and mitigations if necessary.
2.6.8 Interbasin Water Transfer
This project does not involve interbasin transfer of water.
2.6.9 By-products of Reverse Osmosis Treatment Plants
This project proposes the continued use of the existing pressure filtration and ion
exchange softening process associated with the current Brown Boulevard WTP. A
change to reverse osmosis membrane process is not considered reasonably cost-
effective, not is it proposed. The waste effluent stream from a membrane plant will also
contain highly concentrated pollutants that will still require proper disposal in order to
minimize environmental impacts similar to that which are considered for the existing
WTP.

4.0 Population Projections
4.1 Residential Population Projections
The project planning area is urban. According to data obtained from the US Census Bureau
and the NC Office of State Budget and Management, the population in Havelock has been
decreasing since at least 2000 as reflected in Table 3. Havelock's population is integrally
tied to the mission and staffing of MCAS Cherry Point in any given time period. The
average number of people per household in Havelock from 2017-2021 was 2.66 as reflected
by US Census QuickFacts.

4.2.2 Maximum Daily Flow (Finished Water Produced)
The Brown Boulevard WTP is designed and permitted to produce 2.8 MGD of finished
water. Water supply and treatment facilities must be capable of producing sufficient
capacity to meet maximum daily demand (MDD) with peak hour demands met from
storage. In general, maximum daily demand for water systems is approximately 1.5 times
the average daily demand. The following table summarizes the MDD versus ADD at the
Brown Boulevard WTP over the past several years.

4.2.3 Current Flow (Backwash Waste Effluent)
The existing six (6) filters are currently backwashed every 21 hours, and each of the four
softeners are regenerated after 375,000 gallons of water has passed. Appendix E
summarizes the daily waste flows and waste effluent constituent concentrations from the
Daily Monitoring Reports. The current intermittent daily waste flows range from 0 —
314,000 gpd with an average daily flow of 102,000 gpd.
4.2.4 Future 20-Year Flow Projections (Finished Water Produced)
Based on water customers and associated finished water demand increasing at the same rate
as the City population projections (approximately 4% per decade), the projected finished
water flows are as indicated in Table 6 below:

4.2.5 Future 20-Year Maximum Daily Flow Projections (Finished Water Produced)
Based on the MDD/ADD multipliers summarized in paragraph 4.2.2 above, the future 20-
year maximum daily demand for which the Brown Boulevard WTP must provide is
expected to range from a low of 1.67 MGD, to an average of 1.84 MGD, or as high as 2.10
MGD. This is as much as 75 percent of the current WTP capacity.
4.2.6 Future 20-Year Flow Projections (Backwash Waste Effluent)
At the WTP production capacity of 2.8 MGD, the filters would require daily backwashing
Likewise, the softeners would require regeneration twice per day. Based on this frequency
of backwashing and regeneration, the waste flow generated equals approximately 290,000
GPD. The backwash waste treatment system was designed to accept and treat a maximum
daily waste flow rate of 290,000 GPD over a seven -hour period (Appendix H — Backwash
Solids Handling Design Memorandum).
5.0 Technologically Feasible Alternatives
5.1 Backwash Waste Treatment
5.1.1 Treatment Alternative #1 - No Action
Upgrades to the Backwash Waste Treatment system at the Brown Boulevard WTP were
completed in 2018 to improve TSS removal due to recurring NPDES permit violations.
The improvements consist of a primary waste settling basin, secondary waste polishing
basin, floating decant mechanism, solids handling pump station, sludge drying beds, and
underdrain pump station as described in Paragraph 1.1.1 above. The system is controlled
via motorized control valves and PLC -based SCADA logic. The cost of these
improvements was approximately $3,200,000. Discharge currently remains into
McCotter Canal. Since completion of the Backwash Waste Treatment system upgrades,
the WTP routinely complies with TSS effluent limits, and no TSS-related NOVs have
been received.
Rivers & Associates, Inc. Page 19

City of Havelock
Brown Boulevard WTP
Discharge Alternatives Evaluation December 2022
This Discharge Alternatives Evaluation is intended to deal with Whole Effluent Toxicity
compliance, as well as compliance with Total Copper and Total Zinc effluent limits.
The conventional method for disposal of chloride -laden backwash waste from pressure
filter -ion exchange softener WTPs in eastern North Carolina is via dilution to meet
surface water standards. Although additional waste pollutant removal/reduction can be
achieved by treatment methods such as reverse osmosis, distillation or ion -exchange, they
are not utilized to treat backwash waste streams due to the high capital and operational
costs; and the more highly concentrated residual waste stream produced by such methods
still require ultimate disposal.
The only cost-effective and environmentally friendly treatment alternative available is
already in service, and is working well for the intended purpose. Alternative No. 1 - No
Action is the only viable option for Treatment. Refer to Appendix I for the record
drawings for the Site Piping Plan and Hydraulic Profile for the WTP Backwash Solids
Handling Improvements.
5.2 Disposal Alternatives
5.2.1 Disposal Alternative A - Connection to Existing WWTP
Havelock operates a 2.25 MGD WWTP that serves residents, commercial businesses and
industry within the corporate limits of the City. The WWTP is a tertiary nutrient removal
facility that includes primary screening and grit removal, secondary treatment via use of
two -stage aeration followed by clarification, and finally tertiary denitrification filters
prior to ultraviolet disinfection and disposal via the effluent pump station, force main,
cascade aerator and effluent diffuser into the Neuse River.
A solids stabilization tank is provided for storage and digestion of solids prior to
thickening with a gravity belt thickener. A waste solids holding tank, pumps and truck
loadout station are provided for final hauling and disposal of stabilized residuals via land
application.
The activated sludge treatment process provides for biological oxidation and reduction of
BOD and TSS, as well as nitrification of ammonia to nitrite and nitrate. Dual clarifiers
provide for the quiescent settling and removal of settleable solids. Alum is fed for
chemical coagulation and enhanced removal of phosphorous. Tertiary denitrification
filters utilize methanol addition to allow for further reduction of nitrate and nitrite for
release as nitrogen gas.
The WWTP is currently rated for 2.25 MGD. The average daily flow over the past two
years is approximately 1.32 MGD which is approximately 59% of permitted capacity.
During that same time period, the ADF for only a single month exceeded 80% of
capacity. The ADF for February, 2021 was 2.0 MGD which is approximately 89% of
plant capacity (Appendix K — WWTP DMRs Summary). The City has experienced
Rivers & Associates, Inc. Page 20

City of Havelock
Brown Boulevard WTP
Discharge Alternatives Evaluation December 2022
several Notices of Violation and/or Notices of Deficiency over the past several years
related to noncompliance with currently permitted nitrogen, phosphorous and BOD
limits.
The NPDES discharge permit (Appendix L) includes provisions and requirements
relative to future increases in the WWTP capacity to 2.8 MGD and 3.5 MGD
respectively. In short, to increase capacity to 2.8 MGD, the City would need to design
and install improvements to provide a 3-stage Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR)
process, including a nitrification recycle pump station, final clarifier pump station and
clarifier splitter box. To achieve plant capacity of 3.5 MGD, the City would need to
design and install improvements to provide a new manual bar screen, 5-stage BNR
process, additional clarifier, additional denitrification filters, additional solids storage and
dewatering filters.
City staff have discussed internally the alternative to transmit treated backwash waste
flow from the WTP to the WWTP for treatment and disposal. The City has rejected this
as a viable alternative due to the potential adverse impact of the brackish WTP discharge
on the microbial population required to sustain a stable activated sludge treatment process
at the WWTP. In addition, the hydraulic capacity required to handle the WTP could be
as much as 290,000 gpd of the current available WWTP capacity. Adding this additional
capacity to the current demand at the WWTP would considerably accelerate the need to
upgrade and expand the WWTP capacity. The cost to expand the WWTP and replace
lost capacity resulting from the WTP discharge is not considered reasonable or cost-
effective. As such, Disposal Alternative A is not considered viable.
5.2.2 Disposal Alternative B — Land Application
The treated waste stream from the Brown Boulevard ion exchange softening water
treatment plant contains brine solution produced from the regeneration process. Given
that the effluent contains brine, it is not amenable to land application as acknowledged in
the NPDES EAA Guidance Document. As such, Disposal Alternative B is eliminated
from further consideration.
5.2.3 Disposal Alternative C - Wastewater Reuse
Since the Brown Boulevard WTP generates a brine waste from the softener regeneration
system, it is not amenable to a Wastewater Reuse disposal alternative. Disposal
Alternative C is not viable and not considered further.
5.2.4 Disposal Alternative D — Surface Water Discharge
There are two locations of interest relative to potential surface water discharge into a
larger receiving water (Appendix D):
• Class SB; Sw, NSW @ existing Havelock WWTP Outfall 002 in the Neuse River
• Class SB; Sw, NSW @ Pine Cliff Recreation Area in the Neuse River

Brown Boulevard WTP
Discharge Alternatives Evaluation December 2022
Zero Flow Stream Restrictions: 15A NCAC 2B.0206(d) disallows new or expanding
discharge of oxygen -consuming waste to the surface waters of North Carolina if the
summer 7Q10 and 30Q2 stream flows are estimated to be zero.
As discussed in Paragraphs 2.1 and 2.6.3 above, the treated waste stream from the Brown
Boulevard WTP does not consist of oxygen -consuming waste. In fact, the actual DO
concentration of the waste stream far exceeds the minimum requirements for the potential
receiving streams.
The Neuse River estuary is tidal downstream of the City of New Bern, and the two
discharge locations under consideration for the City of Havelock WTP are tidally
influenced. The USGS South Atlantic Water Science Center (Raleigh Office) refrains
from providing low -flow estimates for streams known or suspected of being tidally
affected. No techniques currently exist that allow the effects of tides on low flows to be
quantified.
Since the proposed discharge is non -oxygen consuming, zero flow stream restrictions are
not applicable to a surface water discharge from the Brown Boulevard WTP.
Tertiary Filtration: The NPDES Unit requires that all direct discharge systems for
oxygen -consuming wastes be evaluated with and without tertiary filtration.
Domestic and industrial wastewater treatment plants produce oxygen -consuming wastes,
and frequently employ tertiary filtration with very low limits for BOD, TSS and nutrients.
The nature of the treated waste discharge from the Valhalla WTP is not oxygen -
consuming. Tertiary Filtration evaluation is not applicable.
5.2.4.1. Disposal Alternative #D1 - Havelock WWTP Outfall 002 in the Neuse River
Backwash waste treatment provided at the WTP as described in Paragraph 5.1.1 allows
precipitated iron and manganese to settle such that the supernatant can be pumped to
surface water. In addition, some mixing and blending of the fresh filter backwash waste
occurs with the brine softener regeneration waste resulting in a supernatant that consists
of a dilute brine discharge. In order to maintain sufficient volume and time for treatment
at the WTP capacity, the supernatant should be discharged at a minimum 690 gpm flow
rate. At this rate, discharge will occur over an approximate time period of 7 hours each
day at the rated capacity of the WTP. Disposal Alternative #D 1 will route a force main
approximately 20,200 LF from the WTP site to the WWTP. A new WTP Effluent Pump
Station and 10" diameter effluent force main would connect to the existing 24" diameter
WWTP effluent force main serving WWTP Outfall 002. WWTP Outfall 002 discharges
via an 80-feet long multi -port diffuser located approximately 2,000 feet from the southern
bank of the Neuse River just north of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point.
Preliminary evaluation of the hydraulics associated with the existing WWTP pump
station, outfall, and diffuser suggests that sufficient capacity can be made available to
Rivers & Associates, Inc. Page 22

accommodate the additional flow from the proposed WTP Effluent Pump Station.
Further detailed evaluation is still required to finalize the design requirements. The
WWTP and WTP effluent flows and associated sampling would be separately maintained
and monitored until they are combined in the effluent outfall force main, cascade aerator
and diffuser. The proposed alignment for this alternative is depicted in Appendix D with
the force main installed within the rights of way of McCotter Boulevard (SR 1824), NC
Hwy 101, Mimosa Drive (SR 1777), and Jackson Drive.
5.2.4.1.1 Cost Estimates for Disposal Alternative #D1
Capital Costs for Disposal Alternative #D1 — Havelock WWTP Outfall 002 in the Neuse
River are outlined in Tables 8 - 9 below. The estimated construction costs included in
Table 8 represent installed costs which include the cost of piping, pumping equipment,
other materials, labor and installation. Estimated design cost, other technical service fees,
and land acquisition costs are included in Table 9. Piping, equipment and other materials
associated with Disposal Alternative #D1 will be constructed (1) on the WTP site which
is already owned by the City, (2) within NCDOT public rights of way, or (3) on the
WWTP site which is already owned by the City. As such, there is no cost associated with
land acquisition. Costs associated with easement mapping are included in Easement
Mapping Fee category of Table 9.

Recurring costs for Disposal Alternative #D1 are shown in Table 10 below. The
recurring costs include annual costs that differ from that which are already required.
Recurring costs could include items such as operation and maintenance, operator and
support staff costs, laboratory costs, connection fees and subsequent user fees, permit
compliance fees, and utility (electrical) costs. All major facilities and associated
equipment are anticipated to have a minimum twenty-year service life. As such, no
replacement costs are factored into the evaluation. No additional personnel are
anticipated to be added to the current WTP staff; rather, any additional responsibilities
will be assumed by current personnel. No additional customers or associated fees are
expected to result from the backwash solids disposal project. Permit compliance fees are
depicted on an average annual basis.

The estimated construction cost for Disposal Alternative #D1 is $6,077,400. The total
estimated project cost is $7,109,900. The expected annual O&M costs are $23,800 per
year.
5.2.4.2 Disposal Alternative #D2 — Pine Cliff Recreation Area in the Neuse River
Disposal Alternative #D2 will route a force main approximately 58,700 LF from the
WTP site to the shore of the Neuse River near the Pine Cliff Recreation area in the
Croatan National Forest. Due to the longer length of force main, a 12" diameter pipe is
required to maintain reasonable pumping pressure. In order to maintain a minimum
velocity of 2 fps, the pumping rate will increase minimally to approximately 700 gpm. A
subaqueous directional bore will be extended from the shore to approximately 1,000 LF
into the Neuse River. A diffuser will be anchored, installed and marked along the river
bottom to encourage good dispersion and mixing of the discharge and the instream flow.
The proposed alignment for this alternative is depicted in Appendix D with the force
main installed within the rights of way of McCotter Boulevard (SR 1824), NC Hwy 101,
NC Hwy 306 — Ferry Road and Pine Cliff Road (SR 1732).
5.2.4.2.1 Cost Estimates for Disposal Alternative #D2
Capital Costs for Disposal Alternative #D2 — Pine Cliff Recreation Area in the Neuse
River are outlined in Tables 11 — 12 below. The estimated construction costs included in
Table 11 represent installed costs which include the cost of piping, pumping equipment,
other materials, labor and installation. Estimated design cost, other technical service fees,
and land acquisition costs are included in Table 12. Piping, equipment and other
materials associated with Disposal Alternative #D2 will be constructed (1) on the WTP
site which is already owned by the County, (2) within NCDOT public rights of way, (3)
within an easement across the Croatan National Forest, or (4) within an easement across
the Neuse River near the Pine Cliff Recreation Area which will be acquired from the
State Property Office. As such, there is no cost associated with land acquisition. Costs
associated with easement mapping and the minimum $500 State Property Office
processing fee are included in Easement Mapping and Permit Fee categories of Table 12.

6.0 Selection of an Alternative
6.1 Backwash Waste Treatment
As indicated in Paragraph 5.1.1 above, construction of the only cost-effective and
environmentally friendly treatment alternative was completed in 2018, and is working well
for the intended purpose. No additional treatment actions are required for the backwash
waste stream.
6.2 Disposal Alternatives
6.2.1 Monetary Factors (Present Value of Costs Analysis)
In order to provide a cost comparison between the technologically feasible disposal
alternatives discussed above, a 20-year Present Value of Costs Analysis (PVCA) is
provided below. Recurring costs over the 20-year analysis period are converted to a
present value based on the current Federal discount rate as identified in the Whitehouse
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-94. All converted present values
are added to the respective capital cost for each alternative in order to fairly compare the
Present Value of Cost for each option. The following formula is used to compute Present
Value of Costs.
n _
+r 1
PV = Co + C (1
r(1 + r)n
PV = Present value of costs
Co = Cost incurred in the present year
C = Recurring annual cost
n = Ending year for the analysis (life of facility)

Based on the Present Value of Costs Analysis summarized in Table 14 above, Disposal
Alternative #D1 — Havelock WWTP Outfall 002 in the Neuse River is significantly less
expensive than Disposal Alternative #D2 over the 20-year planning period. The Present
Value of Costs for the WWTP Outfall option is $7,433,350 which is approximately 42%
of the Present Value of Costs for the Pine Cliff Recreation Area option. As such,
Disposal Alternative #D1 — Havelock WWTP Outfall 002 in the Neuse River is the most
economical method of disposal of the technologically feasible alternatives.
6.2.2 Non -Monetary Factors
Table 15 below summarizes the additional non -monetary factors that influence which
alternative is the preferred means for addressing disposal of the treated waste effluent
from the Brown Boulevard WTP.

Disposal Alternative #D1 is judged to be more sustainable since maintenance of the
shorter force main combined with the existing outfall and discharge location is less taxing
than that of a new, more lengthy force main with new discharge location. Operator
training is scored as slightly favorable to Alternative #D 1 since sampling and
maintenance is already in place for the existing discharge location. Environmental
issues/concerns are scored more favorable for Alternative #D1 since the discharge
already exists while Alternative #D2 would be a new discharge to a similar water body,
but that is further downstream and much closer to High Quality Waters. Alternative #D 1
is expected to generate less community objections due to the fact that the WWTP
discharge exists and has already gone through public hearing. Portions of Discharge
Alternative #D2 are located within federally protected lands of the Croatan National
Forest and nearby a public recreational area. Given these scores, Disposal Alternative
#D 1 is definitively favored on the basis of Non -monetary factors.
6.3 Selected Combination of Alternatives
The most environmentally favorable combination of treatment and disposal alternatives
consists of Treatment Alternative #1 — No Action with Disposal Alternative #D1 —
Havelock WWTP Outfall 002 in the Neuse River. The total Present Value of Costs for
this combination of alternatives equals $7,433,350 which is significantly less expensive
than the other combination of alternatives. The total estimated construction cost is
$6,077,400, and is presented in Table 16 below. In addition, the proposed total estimated
project cost is $7,109,900 and is detailed in Table 17. The estimated annual recurring
costs associated with this combination of alternatives is shown in Table 18 as
$23,800/year.

7.0 Recommendations
7.1 General
The City of Havelock completed significant backwash solids handling treatment
improvements in 2018 which have eliminated previously recurring TSS violations for the
treated waste effluent discharge. Although those improvements could not be expected to
completely resolve Whole Effluent Toxicity failures, substantive improvements have been
realized as a result of the blending of the fresh filter backwash water with the brine softener
regeneration waste. The frequency of toxicity failures has been reduced from over 80%
(10/12 fails prior to improvements) to approximately 25% (4/16 fails post improvements). If
additional improvements will be required in order to achieve greater reliability and

City of Havelock
Brown Boulevard WTP
Discharge Alternatives Evaluation December 2022
consistency in successfully passing the toxicity test, the recommended solution is to improve
dilution by relocating the discharge to a larger surface water receiving body.
In order to meet Whole Effluent Toxicity testing requirements, as well as Total Copper and
Total Zinc permit limitations, it is recommended the City of Havelock consider relocating the
WTP discharge from low flow McCotter Canal to the Neuse River. The goal is to increase
dilution of the effluent into a regulated mixing zone; thereby, reducing the sample
concentration for toxicity testing and eliminating the effluent limits for Total Copper and
Total Zinc.
The specific recommendation, as indicated in Paragraph 6.3 above, is to continue to treat the
backwash waste stream utilizing the WTP improvements that were recently completed in
2018 while disposing of the treated effluent via intermittent pumping from a proposed 690
gpm pump station through a proposed 22,200 LF 10" diameter force main to the existing
WWTP site where it will be combined with the WWTP effluent in the existing 24" outfall
force main. A check valve and vault will be installed on the 24" main to prevent backflow
into the WWTP Effluent Pump Station and intermingling of the effluent streams prior to
individual composite sampling. Composite sampling will continue for each effluent stream
at the individual WTP and WWTP sites. A pigging entry station is recommended at the
WTP site with a pigging retrieval station at the WWTP site to allow periodic cleaning of the
10" force main. The combined effluent will be pumped through the existing 24" diameter
force main across the MCAS Cherry Point to the existing cascade aerator where it will be
discharged through the existing 2,000 LF subaqueous diffuser and 80 LF multiport diffuser
into the Neuse River.
7.2 Dilution Evaluation
Dilution evaluation will be required in order to determine the amount of dilution that can be
achieved for the most limiting constituent. Typically for tidally influenced receiving waters,
a CORMIX (Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System) dilution model is required in order to
simulate various diffuser configurations to optimize dilution and dispersion within a
regulatory mixing zone that occupies a small footprint within the receiving waterbody.
If Dilution Modeling has previously been conducted for the WWTP discharge, that model
can possibly be reviewed to extrapolate the available dilution rate. If such a model does not
exist, then a CORMIX model may be required to determine the dilution available at the
existing diffuser configuration and discharge location relative to that which may be required.
The existing NPDES Discharge Permit for the WWTP (NC0021253) (Appendix L) includes
Chronic Toxicity permit limits that require quarterly testing such that the effluent discharge
at no time shall exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Mysid Shrimp at an effluent concentration of 15% at 2.25 MGD, 16% at 2.8 MGD, and 16%
at 3.5 MGD. This compares to the quarterly Acute Toxicity Pass/Fail Monitoring
requirement performed using Mysid Shrimp for the WTP where the effluent concentration at
Rivers & Associates, Inc. Page 34

City of Havelock
Brown Boulevard WTP
Discharge Alternatives Evaluation December 2022
which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90%. This seems to suggest that
the existing WWTP diffuser is providing at least a 5.5:1 ratio.
In order to establish the most limiting constituent of concern in the WTP effluent, a
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) must be conducted and compared to the receiving
surface water standards. RPAs have been prepared for Total Copper and Total Zinc for the
Havelock WTP based on 22 effluent sample concentrations for 2021-22 (Appendix G). The
RPA indicates that reasonable potential exists based on NCDEQ and EPA criteria for the
concentration of Total Copper to be as high as 11.2 ug/L and for Total Zinc to be as high as
189.0 ug/L. The stream standards for a Class SB; Sw, NSW as indicated in Table 1 above
are 3.1 ug/L and 81.0 ug/L, respectively. As such, for the WTP, Total Copper would appear
to require the greatest dilution at 3.61:1 versus Total Zinc at 2.33:1 which might reasonably
be achieved by the existing WWTP diffuser.
Consideration must also be given, however, to the effluent metals concentrations from the
WWTP. Currently, the WWTP does not have any assigned metals limits. Total Copper
monitoring and reporting is required, however, on a quarterly basis. Monitoring for Total
Zinc was removed from the previous NPDES permit based on the RPA showing no
reasonable potential to violate state water quality standards. Annual Effluent Pollutant Scans
are required, however, for 2021, 2022 and 2023 which include metals.
An abbreviated RPA was conducted on Total Copper for the WWTP discharge based on
eight data points obtained during the 2021-22 time period (Appendix G). The results do not
appear beneficial as they suggest reasonable potential that Total Copper concentration could
be as high as 182.4 ug/L which would require significant dilution to meet the surface water
standard for the receiving water. However, eight data points is the bare minimum necessary
to conduct a reasonable RPA, and there is a single very high concentration of 57 ug/L in
October, 2022 that seems well outside of normal given that all other values are 5 — 10 ug/L.
In order to further evaluate the alternative under consideration, effluent testing for Total
Copper should be accomplished on a more frequent basis (i.e. monthly) in order to gain more
data points. The magnitude of the RPA concentration is directly impacted by (1) the number
of data points evaluated, and (2) the magnitude of the highest observed concentration in the
data set. As such, the WWTP Total Copper RPA concentration could be inflated due to the
few data points evaluated and the single very high concentration of October, 2022. More
thorough evaluation of a larger dataset could produce a more believable and/or favorable
result to support the use of the existing WWTP outfall and diffuser as a means of disposal for
the WTP effluent.
Additional meaningful information could also be obtained if, in addition to normal toxicity
testing, the WTP would request quarterly Acute Toxicity Pass/Fail tests performed as a
Mysid Shrimp 24 hour static test with the effluent concentration at which there may be at no
time significant acute mortality equal to 16% to match that of the WWTP diffuser. This
would help to confirm whether the WTP might expect to consistently pass at a significantly

City of Havelock
Brown Boulevard WTP
Discharge Alternatives Evaluation December 2022
reduced effluent concentration as might be expected with greater dilution that could possibly
be achieved by discharging to the larger water of the Neuse River.
7.2 NPDES Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA)
Should the Dilution Evaluation indicate that the existing WWTP diffuser appears favorable
to achieve sufficient dilution while minimizing adverse environmental impacts, this
Discharge Alternatives Evaluation can be readily modified into the full NPDES Engineering
Alternatives Analysis that meets all requirements contained within the NCDEQ DWR
Engineering Alternatives Analysis Guidance Document.
7.3 NPDES Permit Application
A complete NPDES Permit application package must include the NPDES Permit Application
Form along with the Engineering Alternatives Evaluation and the Application Fee.
Following staff review, and revision(s) if required, should the NPDES Unit find the proposed
application acceptable, it will be shepherded through normal NPDES permitting processes,
public advertisement, comment period, public hearing, etc. before a final permit is issued.
If it is deemed acceptable to combine the WTP effluent discharge with the WWTP effluent
discharge, then we anticipate that a combined NPDES discharge permit would be issued to
include the individual requirements, flow sheets, limits, testing, etc. for both the WWTP and
WTP. An example of such a NPDES permit is for the New Bern WWTP and WTP
(NC0025348) where both treated effluent streams are combined into a single outfall and
diffuser into the Neuse River (Appendix M).
7.4 Funding
Funding for the planning, design, permitting and construction of the Brown Boulevard WTP
Discharge Improvements project is an effort that should proceed in parallel with preparation
and review of the Dilution Evaluation, EAA and NPDES Permit Application. The City of
Havelock has previously secured a low interest loan through the NCDEQ Division of Water
Infrastructure (DWI) State Revolving Fund (SRF) program for the WTP Backwash Solids
Handling project that was completed in 2018.
Since this project involves wastewater infrastructure associated with a Water Treatment
Plant, the project fits criteria for funding through various programs administered by both the
Wastewater Unit and Drinking Water Units of DWI. The SRF program provides 1/2 market
interest rate loans with limited principal forgiveness. The maximum loan amount is $30
million (WW Unit) and $20 million (DW Unit) with a payback term of 20 years. A 2.0%
closing fee applies.
The DWI SRF funding process is competitive. The opportunity for the City to be funded
depends on numerous factors, including the availability of funds, the number of applications
Rivers & Associates, Inc. Page 36

City of Havelock
Brown Boulevard WTP
Discharge Alternatives Evaluation December 2022
submitted, and final scoring/ranking of the applications. Given this, it is recommended that
the City submit both a Wastewater and Drinking Water application. In this manner, the City
will have the best opportunity to receive funding for the project.
The SRF Program has two funding cycles per year, typically in March and September. The
City, working with their engineering consultant, should begin preparation of the applications
and supporting documents to support a loan request for the proposed alternative. Application
efforts should begin in concert with review, feedback and direction received from the
NPDES Unit relative to this Discharge Alternatives Evaluation. If the City's loan application
is selected for funding, the City should expect to be notified and receive a Letter of Intent to
Fund (LOIF) letter from DWI approximately five months following application.
7.5 Design, Permitting and Construction
Following approval and receipt of a new NPDES permit, the City should proceed with design
of the pump station, effluent force main and associated appurtenances in order to secure the
remaining regulatory permits to facilitate the bidding, construction and startup of the project.
The following permits may be required:
• USACE Section 404 Permit/401 Water Quality Certification
• USACE Jurisdictional Stream Crossing
• NCDEMLR Erosion & Sedimentation Control Permit
• NCDEQ DWR Stormwater Permit
• NCDOT Encroachment Agreement
• NCDEQ DWR Authorization to Construct

8. Instream monitoring for pH has been changed to monthly in Section A. (1) per the current water
treatment plant guidance.
9. Instream sampling for salinity and conductivity has been changed to grab sampling in
Section A. (1).
10. Limits have been added for Total Copper and Total Zinc in Section A. (1) based on a reasonable
potentiar fo exceed water quality standards.
11. Former footnote #3 in Section A. (1) concerning a compliance schedule for flow composite
sampling has been removed as the deadline has passed.
12. The footnote regarding total residual chlorine in Section A. (1) has been updated.
13. Language has been updated in Section A. (2).
14. A discharge alternatives analysis has been added as Section A. (3) due to a history of failed
toxicity tests.
15. A compliance schedule has been added as Section A. (4) for Total Copper and Total Zinc.
Please note that the practical quantitation limits (PQLs) for Total Copper is 2 µg/L (per the Inorganic
Chemistry Branch of the Division of Water Resources Water Sciences Section) and monitoring data
should be reportable down to these levels. Per North Carolina 15A NCAC 02B Water Quality Standards
for Surface Waters, the current limits for class SC waters for copper are 3.7 µg/L (acute) and 5.8 µg/L
(chronic). Limits for water treatment plants are determined by evaluating DMR data submitted to the
Division, along with a dilution factor (if applicable) and the maximum monthly average flow reported
in the previous 3 years at the time the review is completed.
Whole Effluent Toxicity test results submitted during the past three years have demonstrated that the
Water Treatment Plant's effluent is showing potential for causing aquatic toxicity in the receiving
stream. As a result, the City of Havelock shall perform a Discharge Alternatives Evaluation as described
in Section A. (3) of this permit. This evaluation is being requested to determine whether there are any
economical and technologically feasible alternatives available to the City of Havelock to comply with
all NC Water Quality Standards. The permittee will be given approximately one permit cycle to evaluate
and document possible treatment/discharge alternatives to eliminate aquatic toxicity. The evaluation
shall be submitted with the permittee's next permit renewal application and will be carefully reviewed
by the Division and the results will be used in the development of a compliance schedule or possible
variance request for the City of Havelock.
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 permit 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 any other Federal, State, or Local governmental permit that may be required.

A. (2) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL MONITORING ONLY (QUARTERLY)
[I 5A NCAC 02B .0500 et seq.]
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterlybasis using protocols defined in the North
Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A
Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised -December 2010 or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall
be performed as a Mysid Shrimp (Mysidopsis bahia) 24 hour static test. The effluent concentration at
which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the
procedure document).. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July, and
October. These months signify the first month of each three month toxicity testing quarter assigned to
the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge
and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code
TGE3E. Additionally, DWR Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water 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 and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine
of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of
the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report
with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the
Water Sciences Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then
monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test
requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-
opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will
require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following
the month of the initial monitoring.

Permit NCO078131
A. (3) DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES EVALUATION
The Permittee shall assess potential alternatives to eliminate Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) test failures.
This evaluation shall assess the feasibility of all the following alternatives.
1. Connect discharge to a WWTP: Determine whether the wastewater can be discharged to a wastewater
treatment plant. Approval or disapproval from the plant operator should be acquired.
2.Obtain a Non -discharge permit: Eliminate the surface water discharge by obtaining a non -discharge
permit for spray irrigation, infiltration, or subsurface disposal (on -site drainfield, infiltration gallery,
injection wells).
3. Install Wastewater Treatment: Install improved wastewater treatment to enable the facility effluent to
consistently pass the WET test. If this is not technically feasible or cost prohibitive, please explain and
provide estimated costs.
4. Use Alternative Water Treatment Source: Obtain drinking water from another source (nearest
County, City, or Town or other wells) so the discharge or toxicity problem is eliminated.
5. Use Alternative Water Treatment Method: Install alternative and/or innovative water treatment
methods or operational improvements that do not produce toxic wastewaters. For example, install a
recycle iron/manganese filtration system with no discharge or combine discharge with WWTP or
cooling water effluents.
6. Discharge to a Larger waterbody/Perform a dilution model: Relocate the facility's discharge to a
larger receiving waterbody to eliminate or reduce toxic impacts to the receiving waterbody given the
increased dilution. If applicable, perform a dilution model to receive allowance for stream dilution in
WET test.
7. Combination of Alternatives: Employ any combination of the alternatives listed above that would
result in eliminating or decreasing toxicity until a more feasible solution becomes available.
The evaluation shall include a present value of costs analysis for all technologically feasible options as
outlined in the Division's "Engineering Alternatives Analysis Guidance Document." This Document can be
found at: littp://portal.ncdenr.or web/wq/swp/t)shipdcs/permits.
This evaluation is being requested to determine whether there are any economical and technologically
feasible alternatives available to the Permittee to address aquatic toxicity in the plant effluent. Based upon
the evaluation, please identify viable alternatives and present an implementation schedule and project
timeline for the preferred alternative. The Permittee shall submit the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation to the
Division along with the submission of their next permit renewal application (due 6 months prior to permit
expiration) to:

Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility
being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access,
then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and
discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms
approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See
"How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the
issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the
commencement of discharge.
Starting on December 21, 2020, the permittee must electronically report the following compliance
monitoring data and reports, when applicable:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
• Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and
• Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports.
The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to Request a
Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below).
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient at the time of
each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website resources to identify the initial
recipient for the electronic submission.
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the entity
(EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity for
receiving electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each
type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate
electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting
Rule is found at: https://www.federalre istct'.gov/documents/2015/10/22/2015-24954/national-pollutant-
discllarge-elimination-systemnpdes-electronic-reporting-rule.
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements" section above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an
electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request to the
Page 8 of 9

Permit NC0078131
Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in writing to the
Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be required
under this permit to begin submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver
shall not exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports shall be
submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new
temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic reporting waivers are not
transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data
and reports on paper to the Division for the period that the approved reporting waiver request is
effective.
Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are found on the
following web page:

PART 11
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be
representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is
not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period
of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with
the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow
measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 18
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a
constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be
used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab
samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.

grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling
period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also
"Composite Sample," above.)
Daily Maximum

PART IV
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR MUNICIPAL FACILITIES
Section A. Definitions
In addition to the definitions in Part II of this permit, the following definitions apply to municipal facilities:
Indirect Discharge or Industrial User
Any non -domestic source that discharges wastewater containing pollutants into a POTW regulated under section
307(b), (c) or (d) of the CWA. [40 CFR 403.3 (i) and 0) and 15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(11)]
Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [I 5A NCAC 02H.
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [I5A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization.
This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T
.0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government
organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges
to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW
treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of
POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)]
"Significant Industrial User" or "SIU"
An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(33)]:
1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary,
noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the
POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and
conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a
Significant Industrial User (SIU); or
6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a
non -significant categorical Industrial User.
Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs)
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 15 of 18
All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]:
1. Any new introduction of pollutants into the POTW from an indirect discharger, regardless of the means of
transport, which would be subject to section 301 or 306 of CWA if it were directly discharging those pollutants;
and
2. Any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants being introduced by an indirect discharger as
influent to that POTW at the time of issuance of the permit.
3. For purposes of this paragraph, adequate notice shall include information on (1) the quality and quantity of effluent
introduced into the POTW, and (2) any anticipated impact that may result from the change of the quantity or
quality of effluent to be discharged from the POTW.
Section C. Municipal Control of Pollutants from Industrial Users.
1. Effluent limitations are listed in Part I of this permit. Other pollutants attributable to inputs from Industrial Users
discharging to the POTW may be present in the Permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information
becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be revised to specify effluent
limitations for any or all of such other pollutants in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality
standards.
2. Prohibited Discharges
a. The Permittee shall develop and enforce their Pretreatment Program to implement the prohibition against the
introduction of pollutants or discharges into the waste treatment system or waste collection system which
cause or contribute to Pass Through or Interference as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .0900 and 40 CFR 403. [40

wastestreams with a closed cup flashpoint of less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 degrees Centigrade
using the test methods specified in 40 CFR 261.21;
(2) Pollutants which cause corrosive structural damage to the POTW, but in no case discharges with pH lower
than 5.0, unless the works is specifically designed to accommodate such discharges;
(3) Solid or viscous pollutants in amounts which cause obstruction to the flow in the POTW resulting in
Interference;
(4) Any pollutant, including oxygen demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.) released in a Discharge at a flow rate
and/or pollutant concentration which will cause Interference with the POTW;
(5) Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the POTW resulting in Interference, but in no
case heat in such quantities that the temperature at the POTW Treatment Plant exceeds 40°C (104°F)
unless the Division, upon request of the POTW, approves alternate temperature limits;
(6) Petroleum oil, non -biodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin in amounts that will cause
Interference or Pass Through;
(7) Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapors, or fumes within the POTW in a quantity that
may cause acute worker health and safety problems; or
(8) Any trucked or hauled pollutants, except at discharge points designated by the POTW.
c. The Permittee shall investigate the source of all discharges into the POTW, including slug loads and other
unusual discharges, which have the potential to adversely impact the Permittee's Pretreatment Program and/or
the operation of the POTW.
The Permittee shall report such discharges into the POTW to the Director or the appropriate Regional Office.
Any information shall be provided orally within 24 hours from the time the Permittee became aware of the
circumstances. A written submission shall also be provided within 5 days of the time the Permittee becomes
aware of the circumstances. The written submission shall contain a description of the discharge; the

WaC resource list
This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat
(collectively referred to as trust resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS)
jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced below. The list
may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be
directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood and
extent of effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional site -
specific (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project -specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed
activities) information.
Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS
office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined project area. Please read the introduction to each section that
follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI Wetlands) for additional
information applicable to the trust resources addressed in that section.

Endangered species
This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of project
level impacts.
The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species.
Additional areas of influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of
the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a
dam upstream of a fish population even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly
impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move,
and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the
project area. To fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site -specific and project -
specific information is often required.
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary
information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area
of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any
Federal agency. A letter from the local office and a species list which fulfills this requirement can only
be obtained by requesting an official species list from either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC
(see directions below) or from the local field office directly�
For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC website
and request an official species list by doing the following:
1. Draw the project location and click CONTINUE.
2. Click DEFINE PROJECT.
3. Log in (if directed to do so).Nx,
4. Provide a name and description for your project.
5. Click REQUEST SPECIES LIST.
Listed speciesl and their critical habitats are managed by the Ecological Services Program of the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the fisheries division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA Fisheries?).
Species and critical habitats under the sole responsibility of NOAA Fisheries are not shown on this list.
Please contact NOAA Fisheries for species under their jurisdiction.
1. Species listed under the Endangered Species Act are threatened or endangered; IPaC also shows
species that are candidates, or proposed, for listing. See the listing status page for more
information. IPaC only shows species that are regulated by USFWS (see FAQ).
2. NOAA Fisheries, also known as the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is an office of the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration within the Department of Commerce.

The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be
present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project
activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ
"Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to
interpret this report.
Probability of Presence ( )
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your
project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.) A
taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used

to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the
presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week
where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For
example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of
them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is
calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence
across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted
Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week
of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is
0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistic
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of
presence score. #_
To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
Breeding Season ( )
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its
entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area.
Survey Effort (1)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys
performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys
is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
No Data (—) V
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on a
years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at
any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to
occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests
and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to
occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or
permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or
bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC), and other species
that may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network
(AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey., banding, and citizen science datasets and is
queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project

intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that
area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore
activities or development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not
representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your
project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information Locator (RAIL) Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially
occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the
Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey., banding, and citizen
science datasets.
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To
learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the
Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering or migrating in my area? 140 \ t )
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or
year-round), you may query your location using the RAIL Tool and look at the range maps provided for birds in
your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each bird in your results. If a bird on your migratory bird
species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be
nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely
does not breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range
anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the
continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because
of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from
certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to
avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For
more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird
impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of
bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The
Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project
review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA
NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on
the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.

Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year,
including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information
on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam
Loring.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the
Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority
concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be
in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring
in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10
km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a
red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of
presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a
lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a
starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might
be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to
look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid
or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about
conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize
impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your mi ratory bird trust resources page.

Coastal Barrier Resources System
Projects within the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS) may be subject to the
restrictions on Federal expenditures and financial assistance and the consultation requirements of
the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) (16 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). For more information, please
contact the local Ecological Services Field Office or visit the CBRA Consultations website. The CBRA
website provides tools such as a flow chart to help determine whether consultation is required and a
template to facilitate the consultation process.
There are no known coastal barriers at this location.
Data limitations

The CBRS boundaries used in IPaC are representations of the controlling boundaries, which are depicted on the
official CBRS maps. The boundaries depicted in this layer are not to be considered authoritative for in/out
determinations close to a CBRS boundary (i.e., within the "CBRS Buffer Zone" that appears as a hatched area on
either side of the boundary). For projects that are very close to a CBRS boundary but do not clearly intersect a
unit, you may contact the Service for an official determination by following the instructions here:
https://www.fws.gov/service/coastal-barrier-resources-system-property-documentation
Data exclusions
CBRS units extend seaward out to either the 20- or 30-foot bathymetric contour (depending on the location of the
unit). The true seaward extent of the units is not shown in the CBRS data, therefore projects in the offshore areas
of units (e.g., dredging, breakwaters, offshore wind energy or oil and gas projects) may be subject to CBRA even if
they do not intersect the CBRS data. For additional information, please contact [e-mail].

Wetlands in the National Wetlands Inventory
(NWI)
Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation under Section 404
of the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal statutes.
For more information please contact the Regulatory Program of the local U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers District.
Wetland information is not available at this time

This can happen when the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) map service is unavailable, or for very
large projects that intersect many wetland areas. Try again, or visit the NWI map to view wetlands at
this location.
Data limitations
The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level
information on the location, type and size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high
altitude imagery. Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A margin of error
is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular site may result in
revision of the wetland boundaries or classification established through image analysis.
The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts,
the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted.
Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems.
Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There may be
occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on the map and
the actual conditions on site.
Data exclusions
Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial
imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged
aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters
Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory.
These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery.
Data precautions
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in
a different manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this
inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish
the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in
activities involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate
Federal, state, or local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions
that may affect such activities.

WTP Backwash Solids Handling
Design Memorandum

CITY OF HAVELOCK WTP SOLIDS HANDLING PROJECT
DESIGN MEMORANDUM

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose for the WTP Backwash Solids Handling Project is to design and construct a
backwash wastewater residuals facility to receive filter -backwash and softener-regenerotion-
backwash wastewater from the existing 2.8 MGD water treatment plant that utilizes greensand
filters and ion -exchange softeners to produce finish drinking water for the City of Havelock,
North Carolina. The effluent discharge from the backwash wastewater residuals facility is to
meet requirements of the existing NPDES Permit NCO078131 — effective September 21, 2014
through June 30, 2018.
The design for the WTP Backwash Solids Handling Project adheres to the plan set forth in the
preliminary engineering report with minor modifications made for improvement and positive
change to the project. One positive change is having the effluent flow by gravity under
differential head pressure rather than a pressurized flow driven by pumps.
DESIGN LOAD — HYDRAULIC: The design hydraulic loading filter -softener wastewater residual
process facility is 290,000 GPD and the maximum flow -rate for backwash wastewater flowing
from the existing water treatment plant to the filter -softener backwash wastewater basin
(BASINwASTE) is 1,360 GPM.
The design minimum overall -average effluent flow -rate is 690 GPM,
DESIGN LOAD — SOLIDS: The design quantity of iron in the raw water would be (3.0 ppm x 8.34
lb/gal x 2.8 MGD) or 70.1 lb /day and design quantity of oxidized iron residual solids from the
filter -backlash wastewater is 1.91 x 70.1 lb/day or 133.9 lb/day.
The design quantity of manganese in the raw water would be (0.150 ppm x 8.34 lb/gal x 2.8
MGD) or 3.50 lb /day and design quantity of oxidized manganese residual solids in the filter -
backwash wastewater is 1.61 x 3.5 lb/day or 5.64 lb/day.
The grand total of oxidized iron and manganese residual solids is 133.9 lb/day + 5.64 lb/day
equals 139.54 lb/day, or 140 lb/day of residual solids from the filter -softener backwash
wastewater equal to 289,892 GPD — say 290,000 GPD.
WASTEWATER SETTLING BASIN: The design for the 450,000 gallon wastewater settling basin calls for
a cylindrical pre -stressed concrete basin with a slope -bottom (1v:12H) to its center.
POLISHING BASIN (BASINPOLISH): The plan for retrofit of the existing waste holding basin turns it
into a polishing basin; the work includes demolition of existing pipe, valves and pumps and
installation of new pipe plus a stainless steel floating -decanter.
MOTORIZED -VALVES: The design calls for five (5) motor -operated valves.
EFFLUENT AND BACKWASH FLOW METERS: The backwash flow -meter is measuring backwash
wastewater from the filters and softeners. The effluent flow -meter is measuring effluent flow
from the BASINSETTLE and BASINPOLISH to the DISCHARGEOUTLET•

DECHLORTNATION: The dechlorination unit includes a 6'0 x 4'0 pre -fabricated fiberglass building
with power, lights, heat and ventilation. It is to house a electrical distribution panel plus two
peristaltic pumps and chemical storage. An injector -mixer will be installed on the 12-inch
effluent pipeline in a 5'0 diameter vault. The automatic composite effluent sampler will take
samples when flow is present in the effluent line.
SAND DRYING -BEDS: The total volume of the sand drying beds is approximately equal to
volume of the solids precipitate zone in the BASINsI TTLE.
SOLIDS PUMP -STATION: The solids -pump station will periodically pump settled solids to the
sand -drying beds with quantity determined by the operator. Its design flow -rate is 250 GPM and
its velocity through a six-inch pipe is 2.8 FPS.
UNDERDRAIN PUMP -STATION: The underdrain pump station receives filtrate from the underdrain
pipes and intermittently receives top -water from the sand -drying beds. The pump operates
whenever water -level in its wet -well rises to a PUMP -ON set -point and continues until water -level
in the wet -well falls to a PUMP -CUFF set -point. The tinder drain -pump design flow -rate is 150
GPM and its velocity through a 4-inch pipeline is 3.8 FPS.
HYDRAULICS FOR PROCESS FLOW: Normal operation for the supernatant -effluent -flow process
consists of supernatant flowing from BASINSETTLE to BASINPOLlsx to DISCHARGEoaTLET• The
process begins with flow from the BASINsETTI,E filling the BASINPOLIsx; it continues with un-
interrupted flow from the BASINSETTLE to BASINPOLISH to DISCHARGEouTLET; and concludes with
flow from the BASINPOLIsx draining to the DISCHARGEOUTLET•
In addition to normal operation utilizing the BASINPOLIsx, the design provides an option to for a
temporary by-pass decant operation. The operator can manually open/close valves to utilize a
temporary by-pass that would allow liquid -stream {supernatant -effluent} from the BAS1NSLTTLE
flow directly to the DISCHARGEOUTLET. The by-pass is a short-term option available whenever the
BASMPOLISII is out -of -service for cleaning and maintenance. All flow through the temporary bypass
flows through the effluent flow meter, dechlorination injector/mixer and the composite effluent sampler.
Whether flow to the DISCHARGEOIITLET is from the BASINPOLISn by {normal decant operation) or
directly from the BASINSETTLE {bypass decant operation), design for supernatant -effluent -
discharge flow from the facility is such to meet requirements of the existing NPDES Permit
NCO078131.
The current estimate of construction cost is $1,930,000 with project cost including contingency
$2, 610, 000.

CITY OF HAVELOCK 1 WTP BACKWASH SOLIDS HANDLING PROJECT
DESIGN MEMORANDUM
1.0 INTRODUCTION: The design for the WTP Backwash Solids Handling Project adheres to
the plan set forth in the preliminary engineering report with minor modifications for
improvement and positive change to the project. One positive change is having the effluent
flow by gravity under differential head pressure rather than a pressurized flow driven by
pumps. The design memorandum generally follows the NC DEQ 1 DWI Bid and Design
Document Submittal Form. The commentary endeavors to present material covering primary
and incidental elements in a logical sequence to explain the design with associated questions,
investigations, calculations and engineering decisions as shown by the plans and
specifications for the Havelock WTP Backwash Solids Handling Project.
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project includes a 450,000 gallon circular pre -stressed
concrete waste settling basin with 60-foot diameter and 20.5-foot sidewall height plus six
sand -drying beds with each having a width of 20-feet and length of 53 feet. The facility
includes two pump stations, one is a 3.5 HP, 250 GPM suction -lift solids pump station with
fiber -glass house, piping and control panel; the other is a 3.0 HP, 150 GPM submersible
under drain pump station with 6-foot diameter wet -well and 5'0 diameter check -valve vault.
The de -chlorination unit includes a 6'0 x 4'0 fiberglass building with power, lights, heat and
ventilation for two (2) peristaltic pumps and chemical storage plus an injector/static mixer in
a 5'0 diameter vault for feeding calcium-thiosulfate into the effluent pipeline. Other
equipment includes a composite sampler, two (2) 8-inch mag-meters in 5'0 x 6'0 vaults plus
five (5) motor operated valves. Another project requirement is retrofit of an existing
rectangular basin (32' x 20' x 14') that includes installation of a floating decanter.
Associated work for the project includes electrical/control conduit, wire, lighting and various
fixtures plus additions to existing SCADA system. All site -work including demolition,
excavation, installation of all yard -piping, fittings, valves and appurtenances, installation of
driveway and fence plus incidental work and subsidiary obligations including
erosion/sediment control and storm -water management as inherent parts of the project.
3.0 PURPOSE: The purpose for the WTP Backwash Solids Handling Project is to design
and construct a backwash wastewater residuals facility to receive filter -backwash and
softener -regeneration -backwash wastewater from the existing 2.8 MGD water treatment
plant that utilizes greensand filters and ion -exchange softeners to produce finish drinking
water for the City of Havelock, North Carolina. The effluent discharge from the
backwash wastewater residuals facility is to meet requirements of the existing NPDES
Permit NCO078131 — effective September 21, 2014 through June 30, 2018. See Exhibit I--
NPDES Permit
4.0 GOALS: Produce Quality Effluent for Discharge

Page 1 of 17

5.0 OBJECTIVES, ELEMENTS and FEATURES: The design utilizes a batch -decant
process to separate residual solids and liquid. Design for the solid -stream complements
disposal at an off -site landfill. Design for the liquid -stream is discharge meeting
requirements of the existing NPDES Permit that includes a TSS Daily Maximum Limit of
45 mg/L and TSS Monthly Average Limit of 30 mg/L.
The basic function of the project is removal of residual solids and residual liquid from
the site; that function is achieved by three primary elements of design. The first is a
circular settling basin (BASINSETTLE) for batch processing of the backwash wastewater
from the water treatment plant and the second is a relatively small rectangular polishing
basin (BASINpoLISH) that receives supernatant -decant fiom the BASINSF E. The third
element is Sand Drying -Beds that reduces volume of iron oxide and manganese oxide
solids for off -site disposal.
The proposed BASINSETTLF is a circular concrete basin with diameter equal to 60-foot and
straight-sidewall height equal to 20.5 vertical feet. The BASINpoLISH is a retrofit -
conversion of an existing structure currently receiving backwash wastewater from the
water treatment plant. The conversion includes a floating -decanter and motor -operated
valves for control of the batch -decant process. Other design items for the project include
two (2) pump stations, effluent metering, de -chlorination, effluent sampling and related
piping plus necessary power and control with additions to existing SCADA.
5.1 SOLIDS -STREAM: The BASINSETTLE and batch -settling decant method for separation of
solids from liquid includes various design features; the key feature is a rotating scraper
mechanism with an integral center -feed pipe and center -well with baffles to facilitate
removal of residual precipitate -solids from bottom of the BASINSETTLE- The design calls
for a Solids Pump -Station to convey residual precipitate -solids from the BASTNSETTLE to
Sand Drying -Beds and a Sand -Bed Underdrain Pump -Station to convey liquid from the
Sand Drying -Beds back to the BASMSETTLE• Periodically, the iron and manganese
residual solids shall be transported from the Sand Drying -Beds to an off -site landfill for
appropriate disposal.
In addition to receiving flow from the BASINSETTLE, the piping design allows the Solids
Pump -Station to receive settled -solids flow from the BASINpoLISH. Opening the drain -line
from the BASINpoLISH to convey residual solids to the Solids Pump -Station and Sand
Drying -Beds is an infrequent as necessary event.
In regard to the Sand -Bed Underdrain Pump -Station, normal operation would have the
under -drain pump convey liquid flow from the Sand -Drying Beds to the BASINSETTLE. An
optional mode -of -operation allows the operator to manually open/close valves and direct
liquid flow from the Sand Drying -Beds to the BASINpoL1SI1-
5.2 UQUID-STREAM (supernatant -decant -effluent): The BASINSETTLE includes six (6) pipes
for supernatant to exit the basin. The single -point IIIGIt-LEVEL OUTLET is an
overflow/telescope valve that liquid will exit when it reaches overflow -level. If water -
Page 2 of 017

level in the BASINSETTLE rises above the overflow/telescope valve, then liquid will flow
from the BASINSETTLE through the BASINSETTLE BASINPOLISH to the DISCHARGEOUTLET.
Typically, the BASINSETTLE overflow -level would be set to allow 2'0 of freeboard above
normal high water -level (IIWLN); however, the operator can select a different overflow -
level and high water -level (HWL). The overflow/telescope valve outlet can be used as a
manual decant mechanism for the five vertical -feet of liquid below normal high water -
level (HW LN).
The single -point MID -LEVEL OUTLET is a motor -operated -valve (open/close) (MOV-1 O/C
normally -close). It is located eleven feet below normal high water -level (HWLN) and
opens upon the operator choosing to allow the supernatant -decant to flow through the
MID -LEVEL OUTLET.
The four -point LOW-LEVEL OUTLET is a set of four -pipes located just above the precipitate -
solids zone at a low elevation in the supernatant -decant -liquid zone of the BASINSETTLE.
A motor -operated -valve (open/close) (MOV-2 OIC normally -close) located on the
common collection -pipe for the low-level set -of -pipes opens upon the operator choosing
to allow the supernatant -decant to flow through LOW-LEVEL OUTLET.
The operator can choose any of the three levels - HIGH-LEVEL, MID -LEVEL Or LOW-LEVEL
and allow the supernatant -decant to flow from the BASINSETTLE. Typically, the operator
will utilize either the MID -LEVEL OUTLET or LOW-LEVEL OUTLET for the supernatant -decant
process. Whichever outlet is chosen, all flow from the BASINSETTLE to the BASINPOLIsrr
reaches a common pipeline with a motor -operated -valve (Ilow-control) (MOV-3 FCV
normally -open) located at entrance and adjacent to the BASINPOLISH•
In regard to retrofit -conversion for the BASINPOLISH, the existing rectangular structure
includes two chambers; one has an l x w x h dimension 28' x 24' x 14' and the other has
dimension is 4' x 24' x 14'; there are three existing 10-inch wall -pipes with valves that
can allow water to pass from one chamber to the other. The valves are scheduled for
demolition to have one 24' x 32' x 14' hydraulic chamber for the BASINPOLISH• The key
feature of the proposed BASINPOLISH is a floating -decanter that provides mechanism for
top -water effluent -flow to exit the BASWPOLISH-
Design flow entering the BASINPOLISH and passing through flow -control valve MOV-3 enters
bottom of the BASINPOLisH• A pressure sensor/transducer monitors water level in the
basin to allow direction from SCADA for the flow -control valve. The flow -control valve
will modulate as necessary to maintain water level in the BASINPOLISH at an elevation less
than or equal to an operator set -point. The floating -decanter and pipe system
configuration for the facility will keep normal operation low-water level (LWL) above a
fixed elevation and allow any latent particulate to settle in bottom of the BASINPOLISH-
In addition to the basin water -level signal being used by SCADA to modulate flow -
control valve MOV-3, the same signal is used by SCADA to control a motor -operated -
valve (open/close) (MOV-4 OIC normally -open) at exit from the BASINPOLisi1• When the
supernatant -decant and effluent -discharge process is not in progress, MOV-3 and MOV-4
at entrance and exit of the BASINPOLISH are open. Under this normally open condition, any
Page 3 of 017

unanticipated flow from the over,fTow/telescope valve in the BASINsETTLE will pass through
the BASINPOLtsx and continue to the DISCHARGEouTLET-
The normal operation for supernatant -decant and effluent -discharge process begins with
direction from the operator to allow action. Three (3) motorized valves are keys to the
operational process; the first valve is (MOV-1 O/C or MOV-2 O/C normally -close) at exit
from the BASINsETTLE• Whichever outlet is chosen by the operator for flow from the
BASINsETTLE — the motor -operated valve moves to open. The second valve is (MOV-3
FCV normally -open) adjacent and located at entrance to the BASINPOLisx — it remains open
and modulates as necessary to limit high -water -level (HWL) in the BASINPo.sH• The third
valve is (MOVA O/C normally -open) adjacent to the basin and located on pipe that exits
from the BASINPOLISH — it moves to close and remains in that position until water -level in
the BASINPOUSH rises from fixed low water -level (LWL) to operator set -point high -water -
level (HWL).
When water-Ievel reaches HWL in the BASINPoLrsH, MOV-4 on pipe at exit from the
BASINPOLISH moves to open. The effluent flow exiting the BASINPOLISH during the normal
operation for supernatant -decant and effluent -discharge process flows through pipeline
and other design features including a mag-meter for measuring effluent, de -chlorination
and an effluent sampler in route to the DISCHARGEouTLET-
The normal operation for ,supernatant -decant and effluent, -discharge process continues rurtil
cessation of flow from the BASINsETTLE. The supernatant in the BASINsETTLE ceases to flow
upon reaching operator set -point for decant water -level in the BASINsETTLE and either MOV-I
or MOV-2 at respective exit from the BASINsETTLE moves from open to close. With no flow
into the BASINPOLISH, its water level and the floating -decanter descend to a rest -position at
fixed low water -level (LWL) in the BASWPOUSH- With floating -decanter in rest -position at
fixed low water -level (LWL) in the BASINPoL1s1.1, the two motor operated valves, MOV-3 and
MOV-4 at entrance and exit of the BASINPOLISH, move to full -open.
As shown by the flow schematic, a bypass decant operation is possible by having flow by-
pass the BASINPOLisH. The fifth motor operated valve (MOV-5 FCV normally -open) is located
on a common pipeline that allows flow control for both normal decant operation and bypass
decant operation. During normal decant operation with water level in the BASINPOLISH at
32.00 MSL, MOV-5 could reduce flow -rate to a rate less than approximately 1000 GPM.
During bypass decant operation with water level in the BASINsETTLL at high water -level
(HWL) 40.00 MSL, MOV-5 could reduce flow -rate to a rate less than approximately 1600
GPM. MOV-5 would modulate in response to operator set -point and flow -rate measured by
the effluent flow meter with both parameters in the control system utilizing SCADA.
6.0 DESIGN LOAD
Exhibit 11— Wastewater Data Calculation and Summary shows loading most relevant to
sizing of the primary feature of the solids handling facility — the BASINsETTLF.
Page 4 of 017

6.1 DESIGN LOAD ---- INFLUENT HYDRAULIC FLOW: The design hydraulic loading for the
backwash wastewater residual facility is a direct function of the existing water treatment
plant design capacity with its operational mode for filter -backwash and softener -
regeneration -backwash.
FILTERS: The existing water treatment plant is capable of producing 2.8 MGD of finish -
water by utilizing four (4) softeners and two (2) filter trains each with three (3) filters. Each
of the six (6) filters undergoes a nine -step filter -backwash once every 24-hours. The design
raw water flow -rate through each filter is 324 GPM with all six in operation and 389 GPM
with 5 filters in operation and one in backwash. The current condition of the well -pumps and
filter pumps has the raw water flow -rates) through each filter respectively 183 GPM and
220 GPM. With current average daily water production approximately 1.0 MGD, the current
raw -water flow -rate is less than the design rate, and not causing issue in regard to finish -
water production. Current pressure -drop -across -the -filter just prior to backwash is 2.5 PSI
which is much less than the maximum allowable pressure -drop -across -the -filter of 10 PSI.
Execution of filter -backwash before reaching maximum allowable pressure -drop -across -the -
filter can promote efficient operation of the filter and extend service -life of the filter media.
Based on observation of pressure -drop and current raw water flow -rate, estimate of pressure -
drop -across -the -filter just prior to backwash for design raw -water flow -rate equal to 324
GPM through each filter is 7.8 PSI and less than the maximum allowable pressure drop.

The total filter -backwash wastewater generated is 6 x 19,567 gallons or 117,402 GPD and
the process requires 6 x 29 minutes equals 174 minutes or 2.9 hours /day.
SOFTENERS: An operator set -point has a softener -regeneration -backwash event for each
softener occur after n-gallons of water pass through the softener. At any given time with
both filter trains on-line, six (6) filters and all four (4) softeners could be processing water or
three (3) softeners processing water while one (1) softener undergoes softener -regeneration -
Page 5 of 017

backwash. With only one filter train and three (3) filters on-line, the softeners rotate as
necessary to ensure two (2) softeners are always processing water.
The softener mode -of -operation based on gallons of flow includes a changeable independent
set -point for each softener and fluctuating daily flows dependent on variable demand from
the water system. The quantity of softener -regeneration -backwash wastewater is less
predictable than for filters with mode -of -operation based on a fixed time.
However, with average operator set -point flow for the softeners equal to 325,000 gallons and
accounting for increase in flow for each of three (3) softeners when one (1) softener
undergoes softener -regeneration backwash; there could be an average of 81/2 softener -
regeneration -backwashes per day. A single four -step softener -regeneration backwash action
for one softener takes 78 minutes and generates over 20,000 gallons of softener -regeneration
backwash wastewater. Table 8-I1 - Summary of Softener -Regeneration -Backwash

explained in discussion of influent constituents.)
As shown by tables, the maximum flow -rate for backwash wastewater flowing from the
water treatment plant to the backwash -wastewater basin — BASINSETTLe is 1,360 GPM during
filter backwash and the minimum flow -rate is 66 GPM during softener -regeneration -backwash.
Approximately 14 hours per day is spent on backwash activity and the grand total of filter -
backwash plus softener -regeneration -backwash wastewater is (117,402 GPD + 172,490 GPD)
equals 289,892 GPD — say 290,000 GPD. The design hydraulic loading for the backwash
wastewater residual facility with flow fiom filters and softeners in the WTP is 290,000 GPD
6.2 DESIGN LOAD —EFFLUENT HYDRAULIC FLOW: When utilizing the batch -decant process, the
normal operation for supernatant -decant process would preferably occur when the basin was
quiescent and would not transpire when flow was entering the basin or during a quiescent
time when particles are settling in the basin. The Iron and Manganese Removal Handbook —
Page 6of017

Second Edition (2015); AWWA when describing the batch -settling -decant method makes
statement that follows:
"Generally the filter -backwash wastewater from an iron and manganese pressure filter will
settle in approximately 3 hours, after which the decant quality is generally less than 1-NTU.
After settling period is complete, the supernatant flows to the plant influent or a local
waterway."
The clarifier with rotating scraper mechanism having integral center -feed pipe and baffled
center -well is specifically designed to minimize disturbance when flow is entering the basin.
However, if one chose to decant when there is no -flow into the basin and decant only after a
three hour period of no -flow; there could be only seven (7) hours available for supernatant -
decant process. With daily outflow equal daily inflow, the average effluent flow over seven
hours would be {290,000 gat/ [24 hr (14 hr + 3 hr) x 60 min /hr] } or 690 GPM. The design
minimum overall -average effluent flow -rate is 690 GPM and actual overall average effluent
flow -rates should be greater than 690 GPM,
6.3 DESIGN LOAD — INFLUENT CONSTITUENTS: The constituent loading for the backwash
wastewater residual facility is a function of the water treatment plant design capacity with its
operational mode for filter -backwash and softener -regeneration -backwash plus solids in the
raw water passing through the filters and the brine used to regenerate the softeners. The
water treatment plant receives raw water from the Castle Hayne Aquifer by means of four (4)
wells with two (2) wells on the WTP Site and two (2) remotely located with respective
straight-line distances approximately 2,000 and 2,900 feet from the WTP. The raw water
from the Castle Hayne Aquifer in this small area is relatively consistent over time and space
with negligible short-term variations in constituents and water quality.
6.4 INFLUENT CONSTITUENTS 1 FILTER -BACKWASH WASTEWATER: As shown in the Preliminary
Engineering Report, the City of Havelock's raw water data for the Year 2014 shows iron
concentration minimum equal to 2.00 mg/L; maximum 3.69 mg/L and the average 2.68
mg/L. The design concentration of iron in the raw water is 3.0 mg/L.
Iron in the raw water is oxidized during water treatment and filtration to have Fe(OH)3 such
that 1 mg/L of soluble iron in the raw water oxidizes into 191 mg/L of residual solids. The
existing water treatment plant is capable of producing 2.8 MGD. The design quantity of iron
in the raw water would be (3.0 ppm x 8.34 lb/gal x 2.8 MGD) or 70.1 lb /day and design
quantity of oxidized iron residual solids from the filter -backwash wastewater is 1.91 x 70.1
lb/day or 133.9 lb/day.
In regard to manganese, raw water data for the Year 2014 shows manganese concentration
minimum equal to 0.051 mg/L; maximum 0.298 mg/L and the average 0.137 mg/L. The
design concentration of manganese from the raw water is 0.150 mg/L.
The manganese in the raw water is oxidized during water treatment and filtration to have
Mn(OH)2 such that 1 mg/L of soluble manganese in the raw water oxidizes into 1.61 mg/L of
residual solids. With the existing water treatment plant capable of producing 2.8 MGD, the
Page 7 of 017

design quantity of manganese in the raw water would be (0.150 ppm x 8.34 lb/gal x 2.8
MGD) or 3.50 lb /day and design quantity of oxidized manganese residual solids in the filter -
backwash wastewater is 1.61 x 3.51b/day or 5.64 lb/day.
The grand total of oxidized iron and manganese residual solids is 133.9 lb/day + 5.64 lb/day
equals 139.54 lb/day, or 140 lb/day of residual solids from the filter -softener backwash
wastewater equal to 289,892 GPD — say 290,000 GPD. The design concentration of total
suspended solids (TSS) in the combination of filter -backwash wastewater and softener -
regeneration -backwash wastewater is [140 lb/day / (8.34 lb/gal x 0.290 MGD)] equal to 57.9
mg/L or say 58.0 mg /L. {Note: A negligible quantity of suspended solids is expected in the
softener -regeneration -backwash wastewater.)
6.5 INFLUENT CONSTITUENTS 1 SOFTENER -REGENERATION -BACKWASH WASTEWATER: The water
treatment plant produces water to achieve its target hardness for the finish -water by blending
filter -softener -process water that has zero hardness with filter process water that has the
same hardness as the raw water. The ratio can vary, but the typical blend for the existing
water treatment plant is 85% filter -softener process water and 15% filterprocess water. The
design water production rate is 2.8 MGD or 1944 GPM of finish -water meaning the blend
would utilize (0.15 x 1944 GPM) or 292 GPM of filter -process water and (0.85 x 1944 GPM)
or 1652 GPM of filter -softener process water to produce the finish -water with a target
hardness selected for the WTP.
The raw water data for Year 2014 shows hardness varying from 193 to 290 with average
equal to 247. The design number for the raw water hardness is 290 and the target for
finished -water hardness is between 45 and 60.
HARDNESS REMOVAL — The softeners remove grains of hardness at a given softener
removal -rate equal to 17.1 grains /gallon and require periodic regeneration to maintain that
removal rate. The total hardness removal requirement per day equals [1652 GPM x 1440
min x (290 117.1)] / 1000 or 40,344 K-grain.
SOFTENER CAPABILITY --- The given exchange capacity of the softener resin varies
depending on type and manufacturer of the resin plus condition and age of the resin in the
softener. A given softener exchange capacity of 20 K-grain /CF is typical and reasonable for
the Havelock WTP. With average volume of resin for each of four softeners equal to 288
CF, the total hardness removal capability equals [4 x 288 CF x 20 K-grain /CF)] or 23,040 K-
grain/regencration-cycle.
REGENERATION CYCLE — The softener-regeneration-cycleMAX equals hardness removal
requirement divided by hardness removal capability or 40,344 K-grain / 23,040 K-grain
equals 1.75 cycle /day or one (1) softener regeneration for each softener every (24 hr / 1.75)
or 13.7 hours and/or one (1) softener regeneration for each softener every [(1652 / 4) x 13.7 x
60] or 339,478 Gallon. The design regeneration -cycle is an operator set -point appropriately
less than the regeneration-eyeleMAx. Each softener has a changeable set -point. Based on
current set -points, the design average regeneration -cycle flow for the water treatment plant
softeners is 325,000 Gallon. With the existing water treatment plant capable of producing
2.8 MGD (1944 GPM), and considering time that each softener experiences increased flow
Page 8 of 017

while one softener is off-line to backwash the design average number of softener -
regeneration -backwashes /day is approximately 8.5 generating 172,490 GPD ' of softener -
regeneration -backwash wastewater.
SOFTENER -REGENERATION -BACKWASH WASTEWATER SALINITY — The softener -
regeneration removes calcium and magnesium on the resin and replaces that calcium and
magnesium with sodium. The manufacturer of the softener and the resin concur on
requirements for regeneration that includes using 6.0 lb of salt (NaCl) for each cubic foot of
resin. The total amount of salt would be (6.0 LB /CF x 288 CF) or 1,728 LBSALT. The salt
solution is conveyed by the brine pumps to the softener in a 10% brine solution with a flow -
rate equal to 101 GPM for 20 minutes.
The brine solution flowing through the softener for 20 minutes with flow -rate equal to 101
GPM generates a total of 2,020 gallons of brine with 1,728 lb of salt in the wastewater from
each softener -regeneration backwash. The salt is a dissolved solid contributing to the
quantity of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the backwash wastewater. Each softener -
regeneration -backwash generates 20,293 gallons of softener -regeneration -backwash
wastewater including 2,020 gallons of brine with 1,728 lb of salt. The total softener -
regeneration backwash wastewater generated in one day is 8.5 x 20,293 GAL /regeneration or
172,490 GPD with salinity equal to [(8.5 x 1,728 LBSALT) / (8.5 x 20,293 gal x 8.34 LBWATER
/gal)] x 100 which equates to 172,490 gallons of a 1.0% salt solution /day.
When the softener -regeneration backwash wastewater is combined with the filter -backwash
wastewater the mix becomes {(8.5 x 1,728 LBSALT / [(8.5 x 20,293 gal) + (6 x 19,567 gal)] x
8.34 lb/gall x 100 equals a 0.6% solution saltwater.
7.0 DESIGN ELEMENTS
The existing backwash wastewater process consists of a rectangular waste holding basin with
overall dimension of 32' x 24' x 14' and approximate operational capacity 63,000 gallons. It
has two chambers; one is a primary holding chamber and the other has two pumps that
operate alternately conveying effluent to a discharge vault with diameter and height equal to
5'0. The effluent flows from the basin through a meter and tablet feeder to the discharge
vault and a 10-inch pipe before entering a drop inlet.
The waste holding basin is being retrofitted to become a polishing basin. The pumps, meter
and tablet feeder are being supplanted by the proposed project which includes demolition and
abandonment of the discharge vault. The design elements being sized for the project include
the following:

7.1 FILTER -SOFTENER BACKWASH WASTEWATER BASIN (BASINSETTLE) STRUCTURE: The primary
feature of the backwash -wastewater residual facility is the BASINsETTLE• The BASINSETTLE
provides the basin structure for a batch -settling method to process 117,402 GPD of filter -
backwash wastewater with its iron oxide and manganese oxide suspended solids plus
172,230 GPD of softener -regeneration -backwash wastewater with dissolved solids in a
solution with salinity approximately 1.0%.
The design calls for a basin that contains a one -day volume of filter -backwash -wastewater
and softener -regeneration -backwash wastewater plus a 15% buffer plus volume to store 4-
days of settled -solids. The BASTNSETTLE shown in Figure 7.1 includes an operational volume
as follows:
One -Day Volume -- 290,000 Gallon (289,632)
Buffer — 49,000 Gallon (48,730)
SUBTOTAL — 339,000 Gallon (338,362)
Settled -Solids — 70,000 Gallon (70,492)
TOTAL — 409,000 Gallon (408,362)
The BASINSETTLE design allows iron and manganese particulate to continuously settle out -of -
the -filter -backwash wastewater. The design with supernatant -decant zone volume approximately
339,000 gallons and appropriate mode -of -operation provides a minimum of three (3) consecutive
hours for settling with no flow into the BASINSETTLE. The precipitate -solids zone at the basin
bottom has a design volume of 70,000 gallons to hold a variable concentration of precipitate -
solids. The solids settle and compress as a rotating scraper mechanism moves material to a
hopper -sump with discharge pipe for flow to the solids -pump station. The Solids Pump -
Station conveys solution of residuals to the dewatering system --- Sand -Drying Beds.
WASTEWATER SETTLING BASIN: The design for the 450,000 gallon wastewater settling basin calls
for a cylindrical pre -stressed concrete basin with a slope -bottom (Iv:12H) to its center having
dimensions and elevations as follow:
DIAMETER 60.0 FT
SIDE -WALL HEIGHT 20.5 FT (w/operational water depth 18.5 VF)
TOP -OF -WALL 42.00 MSL
HIGH-LEVEL OUTLET 40.00 MSL one 8-inch exit with manual telescoping valve
MID -LEVEL OUTLET 29.17 MSL one 8-inch exit with motor -operated MOV-1 (O/Q
LOW-LEVEL OUTLET 24.00 MSL four 6-inch exits with motor -operated MOV-2 (O/Q
BASE OF CENTER PIER 19.17 MSL one 20-inch center inlet pipe
Page 10 of 017

The pre -stressed concrete basin shall include certified structural design, calculations and
drawings that include consideration of the soils report, local conditions and applicable codes.
Buoyancy forces will be addressed by means of pressure relief valve design from the
engineer certifying the design of the basin. See Exhibit III- Soils Report
7.2 ROTATING SCRAPER MECHANISM W/ CENTER FEED AND BAFFLE EQUIPMENT: The rotating
scraper mechanism and other basin features facilitate processing of the liquid and solid
streams to enter and exit the wastewater settling basin. The equipment features follow:
Mechanism Material — Painted Carbon Steel
Drive Motor — 0.5 HP for collector drive w/ overload device
plus local alarm light, local and remote control, plus run signal to SCADA
Scraper for settled -solids
Center feed -well with baffles
Stationary walkway with handrails
See Exhibit IV Rotating Scraper Mechanism
7.3 POLISHING BASIN (BASINPoLIsrl): The plan for retrofit of the existing waste holding basin
turns it into a polishing basin; the work includes demolition of existing pipe, valves and
pumps and installation of new pipe plus a stainless -steel floating -decanter. The design
utilizes the floating decanter to optimize performance with fixed dimension of the existing
rectangular structure. The floating decanter removes upper -most water throughout the
decant -operation. No water exits the basin when decanter ascends from law -water -level to
the high -water -level, water exits the basin with the decanter at high -water -level and
continues to exit as decanter descends from high -water -level to low -water -level. With the
decanter at low-level in the BASINPOLISH, one can remove all of the liquid above low-Ievel
outlets in the BASINSETTLl. The existing structure to serve as the polishing basin has
dimensions as follow:
DIMENSION 32' x 24' x 14'
OPERATIONAL DEPTH 12.0 FT
DECANT DEPTH 8.5 FT
TOP -OF -WALL 34.00 MSL
OVERFLOW -WATER -LEVEL 33.00 MSL
HIGH-LEVEL OUTLET 32.00 MSL
LOW-LEVEL OUTLET 23.50 MSL
BOTTOM 20.00 MSL
7.4 FLOATING -DECANTER: The T-shape, stainless -steel floating -decanter has a 10-inch diameter
and connects to exit pipe with a swivel joint fitting that allows it to ascend and descend
Page 11 of 017

through its range of motion with maximum from horizontal centerline being 60°. See Exhibit
V — Floating Decanter
7.5 MOTORIZED -VALVES: The design calls for five (5) motor -operated valves. Three (3) of these
are on -off valves — one eight -inch, one ten -inch and one twelve -inch. The other two are flow
control valves with with modulating actuators — one eight -inch and one 12-inch valve.
7.6 EFFLUENT AND BACKWASH FLOW METER FLOW -METER: The backwash flow -meter is
measuring backwash wastewater from the filters and softeners as it passes through a common
pipeline to the BASINsETTLE with range of seven different flow -rates between 0 - 1360 GPM.
The associated velocity range through the 8-inch backwash meter is 0 — 8.7 FPS.
The effluent flow -meter is measuring effluent flow from the BASINSETTLE and BASINPOLzsa to
the DISCHARGEOOTUT with range of flow -rates from 0 — 1500 GPM and corresponding
velocity range 0 — 9.6 FPS.
The normal service velocity range for an eight -inch mag-meter is 0 — 39 FPS with
corresponding flow range 0 — 6100 GPM. The preferred service range is 2 — 20 FPS with
corresponding flow range 313 --- 3100 GPM. All of the anticipated flows are within the
normal service range for the meter(s). For each and both the backwash meter and effluent
meter, the design selection is an 8-inch mag-meter with transmitter that will communicate
with SCADA. See Exhibit VI ---Magnetic Flow Meter
7.7 DECHLORINATION
7.7A BUILDING, STORAGE TANK PUMPS, AND POWER/CONTROL PANEL: The dechlorination unit
includes a 6'0 x 4'0 pre -fabricated fiberglass building with power, lights, heat and
ventilation. It is to house a electrical distribution panel plus two peristaltic pumps and
chemical storage. The pumps deliver calcium-thiosulfate to a nearby injector mixer to ensure
dechlorination of effluent leaving the premises. See Exhibit VII—Dechlorination
73B INJECTOR/MIXER: An injector -mixer will be installed on the 12-inch effluent pipeline in a 5'0
diameter vault. The calcium-thio sulfate is injected into the effluent pipeline by the static
miner. It is made of stainless steel and includes a 1-inch duty inlet connection for injecting
de -chlorination chemical. See Exhibit VII — Dechlorination
7.7C VAULTS: Vaults are provided for various items including the injector/mixer, two (2) magnetic
flow -meters and a check valve. See Exhibit VIH--Bouyancy Calculation — Vaults
7.8 EFFLUENT SAMPLER
The automatic composite effluent sampler is described in the specifications. It will take
samples when flow is present in the effluent line and keep composite sample in a climate
controlled sample storage compartment. The unit is approximately 44" x 44" with height
equal to 50-inches. See Exhibit VII—Dechlorination
Page 12 of 017

7.9A SAND DRYING -BEDS: The total volume of the sand drying beds is approximately equal to
volume of the solids precipitate zone in the BASINSETTLE• As particles continuously settle to
the bottom of the BASINSEfTLE, the lowest layers undergo concentration and consolidation; the
mix thickens and it is periodically pumped to the sand -drying beds. The design area of each
bed is 1,060 SF and each will hold 1,590 CF of liquid -solid mix. With six sand -beds the total
volume is 71,359 gallon and approximately equal to 70,492 gallon which is the volume of the
solids precipitate -zone in the BASINSETTLE-
The normal operation for the BASINSETTLE would have only part of thickened -mix
periodically sent to the sand -drying beds. The operator would have the solids pump station
convey thickened -mix from bottom of the BASINSETTLE to the sand -drying bed and allow time
for solids to settle before directing water through the telescoping valve(s) to the underdrain
pump station for return to the BASINSETTLE• The schedule and details for periodic conveyance
of solids -in -solution to the solids pump station and decanting top -water to the underdrain
pump station to allow dewatering by the sand beds is an activity that requires visual
observation and oversight by the operator.
One operational scenario would pump approximately 17,300 gal /week or 69,300 gal /month
from bottom of the settling basin to the sand drying beds by filling one drying bed every 5
days which equates to filling each of the drying beds once a month. Under this mode -of -
operation, the process could continue each month until ready for disposal.
Based on typical sand -drying bed performance; removal of solids from the sand drying beds
could transpire every six -months with depth of solids equal to approximately 3-inches. In
that case the volume of residual solids for loading and hauling is 1590 CF of residual solids
for disposal every six -months. As with loading the sand -drying beds, the schedule and
details for unloading the sand -drying beds plus hauling and disposal of residual solids is an
activity that requires observation and judgment by the operator.
7.9B SOLIDS PUMP -STATION: The solids -pump flow -rate is relevant to loading Worn the filter -
backwash wastewater with hydraulic design Ioad equal to 117,400 GAL /DAY. The filter -
backwash wastewater includes 15% of 117,400 or 17,610 GAL /DAY of solids that settle into
the precipitate -solids zone of the BASINSETnE. However, normal operation would not have
the pump station operate every day. The solids -pump station will periodically pump settled
solids to the sand -drying beds with quantity determined by the operator. Considerations for
the pump -rate include pipe diameter relevant to velocity for conveyance of liquid with
particulate plus effort to minimize labor requirements for operation. The solids -pump design
flow -rate is 250 GPM and its velocity through a six-inch pipe is 2.8 FPS. The flow -rate
allows the operator to pump the volume of one sand bed in 46 minutes or volume of six sand
beds in approximately 4% hours. The operator could elect to periodically pump more or less
thickened -mix on any given day; how often and how much pumping is an operational
decision dependent on evaluation of residuals in the precipitate -solids zone and the sand
beds. The solids -pump calculations and rationale for selection of 3.0 horsepower suction -lift
pump are shown in Exhibit IX Solids Pump Station.
7.9e UNDERDRAIN PUMP -STATION: Similar to the solids pump -station, the under -drain pump flow -
rate is relevant to hydraulic loading equal to 17,610 GAL /DAY liquid -solid mix in the
BASINsETTLE. The underdrain pump station receives filtrate from the underdrain pipes and
Page 13 of 017

intermittently receives top -water from the sand -drying beds. The pump operates whenever
water -level in its wet -well rises to a PUMP -ON set -point and continues until water -level in the
wet -well falls to a PUMP -OFF set -point.
After the sand -drying bed receives flow from the solids pump station, solids settle to bottom
of the mix. At appropriate time, the operator utilizes telescoping valve(s) to allow water into
the underdrain pump station wet -well. The time required for optimal settling of solids in the
sand beds before directing water through the telescoping valve is a determination made based
on visual inspection, experience and judgment by the operator. The under drain -pump design
flow -rate is 150 GPM and its velocity through a 4-inch pipeline is 3.8 FPS. The pump -rate
allows pumping of water from one sand bed in less than 1 %2 hour at a time selected by the
operator. The underdrain pump calculations and rationale for selection of 3.5 horsepower
submersible pump are shown in Exhibit X — Underdrain Pump Station.
8.0 HYDRAULICS for PROCESS FLOW
The flow calculations with worksheets and sketches for proposed flows are shown in Exhibit
XI — Hydraulic Calculation and Summary that cover backwash wastewater from the WTP to
the BASMSETTLE, supernatant-effluent.flow from the BASiNSETTLE to the BASINPOLISII to the
DISCHARGEOUTLET plus residual -solids flow from the BASINsETTLE to the Sand -Beds,
residual -liquid flow from the Sand -Beds to the BASINSETTLE and related optional flows.
The design hydraulic calculations primarily use the Hazen -Williams Formula and continuity
equation with some evaluations using the Manning Formula. Evaluation of various flows
was done with excel worksheets and other calculations.
The majority of process flows under consideration are either pressure flow driven by head
differential or pressure flow driven by pumps; headloss calculations for these flows utilize
the Hazen -Williams Formula as follows:
Hazen -Williams — HL = .002083 ((100 Q / C)L852 / D4.8655] L
HL is headloss (FT -HD), Q is a flow -rate (GPM), C a roughness coefficient -of -friction, D is
diameter of pipe (INCH); L is length of pipe (FT). Typically, C can vary between 100 and
150 depending on type, age and condition of the pipe material.
Evaluation of flow through an existing 18-inch storm -water pipe considers flow with both the
Hazen -Williams Formula and the Manning Formula in concert with the Continuity Equation
as follows:
Manning — V = (1.49 / n) RH' S" and RH = A / PW
V is velocity in feet per second (FPS), n a roughness coefficient -of -friction, RH is the
hydraulic radius equal to cross-section area (SF) of flow divided by the wet perimeter (FT) of
flow; S slope of pipe or channel ftv / fil, Typically, n can vary between 0.010 and 0.030 for
pipes, 0.025 and 0.045 for canals and 0.025 and 0.150 for streams. With velocity (V) and
area (A) known one can calculate the flow -rate (Q) with continuity equation.
Page 14 of 017

Continuity — Q = V A
Q is flow -rate in cubic -feet per second (CFS), V is velocity in feet per second (FPS) and A is
cross -sectional area -of -flow in square feet (SF). Q-GPM is equal to Q-CFS x (7.48 gal I CF) x
(60 sec/min); 1 CFS equals 448.80 GPM.
8.1 PRIMARY FLOWS: The proposed backwash wastewater residualpocess facility includes four
(4) primary flows through pipelines between structures utilizing differential head in
categories that follow:
Q 100 backwash flow from distribution system to WTP filters to BASINSETTLE
Q200 backwash flow from distribution system to WTP softeners to BASINSETTLE
Q300 supernatant-effluentflow from BASINSETTLE to BASINroLlsx
Q400 supernatant-effluent,flow from BASINSETTLE or BASINPOLISH to DISCHARGEOUTLET
8.2 Q 100 AND Q200: Water flowing from the distribution system to the filters for backwash and
filter backwash wastewater flow to the BASINSETTLE is Q 100. Similar flow relevant to the
softeners is Q200.
The falter -backwash and softener -regeneration -backwash wastewater fiom the water
treatment plant flows through a 10-inch pipeline in the yard and beneath the basin floor to a
20-inch pipe for entry into the BASINSETTLE- The tank has a diameter equal to 60-feet and
sidewall height equal to 20.50 vertical feet; flow enters a center -well with 12-foot diameter
and baffle system located at center of the scraper mechanism coinciding with the center of
the BASINSETTLE-
The filter -backwash operational plan for the water treatment plant has water from the
distribution system flow through the backflow prevention device and provide backwash -
water for filters in the WTP. The three (3) operational wastewater flow -rates are 339 GPM,
450 GPM and 1360 GPM. The backwash operation for the filters causes only a minimal
increase in head for backwash wastewater flow to the proposed BASINSETTLE and available
head is adequate for backwash of the filters {and softeners) in the WTP. With flow equal to
1360 GPM, the design calculations show the proposed additional pipeline has a friction
headloss of 4.6 FT -HD and the BASINSETTLE structure increases static head 6 FT -HD. The total
increase in head for the proposal is 10.6 FT -HD.
The available head from the elevated tank at its low water -level (LWL) and high water -level
(HWL) is respectively 110 and 140 FT -HD. In comparison the 7.5 FT increase in head from
current operation appears negligible. However, to confirm adequate available head, design
consideration is given a chosen filter with associated pipe and fittings for flow -path that
could experience the greatest friction headloss — Filter 06 with Qmax equal to 1360 GPM.
The headloss calculation for flow -path through Filter 06 indicates no adverse hydraulic
consequence for Qmax and the flows from on -site point in the distribution system to the
BASINSETTLE-
Page 15 of 017

The softener -regeneration -backwash operational plan is similar to the filters in regard to
water flow. The softener regeneration -backwash is a four -step process with one being brine -
regeneration and other three being two rinses and one backwash. The four (4) flow -rates
during softener regeneration -backwash process are 66 GPM, 101 GPM, 451 GPM and 471
GPM. All are less than filter backwash flow equal to 1360 GPM.
With the lower flow -rates, headloss is less for softener backwash flows than for greater filter
backwash flows. The outcome of headloss calculation for worst case Filter 06 with flow
equal to 1360 GPM indicates lesser filter and softener backwash flows will not suffer adverse
effect of headloss through flow path to the BASINSETTLE. See Exhibit XII — Hydraulic
Calculation and Summary — Backwash Wastewater from WTP to the Basin Settle
8.3 Q300 /Q300-400 /Q400 \ NORMAL DECANT OPERATION FOR SUPERNATANT- EFFLUENT -
DISCHARGE: Normal operation for the supernatant -effluent -flow process consists of
supernatant flowing from BASINSETTLE to BASINPOLISx to DISCHARGEOUTLET• The process
begins with flow from the BASINSETTLE filling the BASINPOLIsH; it continues with un-interrupted
flow from the BASINSETTLE to BASINPOLISI1 to DISCHARGEouTLET, and concludes with flow
from the BASINPOLISH draining to the DISCHARGEOUTLET.
One of the hydraulic calculations depicts normal decant operation from BASINSETTLE for
290,000 gallons and 338,000 gallons of supernatant. During the normal decant operation, it
takes about one-half hour for water to reach high -water -level in the BASINPOLISH. Then a
flow control valve limits water -level in the BASINPOLISH such that inflow equals outflow for
the BASINPoLlsi-I• With water level in the BASINPOLISLI at 32.0 MSL and elevation of the
DISCHARGEouTLET 22.1 MSL effluent flow is approximately 986 GPM (2.2 CFS).
As water level in the BASINSETTLE descends the flow rate decreases to 0 GPM. With 290,000
gallons of effluent flowing from the BASINSETTLE in approximately six hours, the overall
average flow -rate equal to 795 GPM (1.8 CFS) and one could decant all 338,000 gallons of
the supernatant from the BASINSETTLE in approximately 8 hours with overall average flow -rate
equal to 693 GPM (1.5 CFS). Both of these flow -rates for normal decant operation are equal
or greater than minimum design average effluent rate of 690 GPM (1.5 CFS). See ExhibitA711
—Hydraulic Calculation and Summary — Normal Decant Operation
8.4 Q400 1 TEMPoRARY BYPASS DECANT OPERATION: The Mows to the DISCHARGEOUTLET are
categorized as a series of flows Q400. Q401 is normal decant flow from the BASINPOLISH;
Q402 is temporary bypass flow from the BASINSETTLE.
In addition to normal operation utilizing the BASINPOLISH, the design provides an option for a
temporary by-pass decant operation. The operator can manually open/close valves to utilize
a temporary by-pass that would allow liquid -stream (supernatant -effluent) from the
BASINSETTLE flow directly to the DISCHARGEou'rLET. The by-pass is a short-term option available
whenever the BASINPoLIsn is out -of -service for cleaning and maintenance. All flow through the
temporary bypass flows through the effluent flow meter, dechlorination injector/mixer and the
composite effluent sampler.
Page 16 of 017

Whether flow to the DISCHARGEOUTLET is from the BASINQOLIsx by (normal decant operation)
or directly from the BASINsETTLE (bypass decant operation), design for supernatant -effluent -
discharge flow from the facility is such to meet requirements of the existing NPDES Permit
NCO078131. See Exhibit XIV — Hydraulic Calculation and Summary Temporary Bypass Decant
Operation
9.0 CLOSING COMMENT
As shown by Exhibit XV -- Process Flow Schematic, the proposed flow has backwash
wastewater travel first to the waste settling basin and secondly to the waste polishing basin.
In a manner similar to the existing system, the effluent flow continues through the effluent
flow -meter, dechlorination and sampling before to discharge into McCotter Canal.
The additional electrical load for the proposed rotary scraper mechanism and the two (2)
small pump stations and is minimal compared to entire electrical load for the entire water
treatment plant. See ExhihitXVI — Electrical Load Summary
The current estimate of construction cost is $1,930,000 with project cost including contingency
$2,610,000. See Exhibit XVII — Opinion of Probable Cost

Subject: Final NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NCO021253
Havelock WWTP
Craven County
Grade 1V Biological WPCS
SIC Code 4952
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES pen -nit, This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215. l and the Memorandum of Agreement
between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007
(or as subsequently amended).
No changes were made to the draft permit sent to you on February 12, 2020. The final permit
maintains the following significant changes identified in the letter sent on February 12, 2020:
• LTpon completion of authorized construction in 2015, the Havelock WWTP entered the
2.25 MGD flow tier. As such, Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements for the
1.9 MGD flow tier have been removed from the permit.
• Upon completion of authorized construction relocating the outfall to the Neuse River
Estuary with a diffuser in 2015, all references to Outfall 001 to East Prong Slocum Creek
have been removed from the permit.
• For compatibility between the Division's and USEPA's databases and the eDMR electronic
reporting system, communicated to the City of Havelock via a -mail in April 2016, the
Neuse River Estuary outfall designation has been changed from Outfal l 001 to Outfal1002.
• As it is no longer in use, the lime addition system has been removed from the facility's
components list [See Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet].
• Regulatory citations have been added to the permit.

E Q
9121dnrth Sallshurn Street thll Mail Serwce Center Raleigh. North CaarCGlina 2ib99 lhll
7/�� ctM1079000

• Parameter codes have been added to the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements
for each flow tier [See Sections A. (l) — A. (3.)] as well as to the Effluent Pollutant Scan
special condition [See A. (8)].
• Based on Division guidance regarding the reduction of monitoring frequencies in NPDES
permits for exceptionally performing facilities, monitoring requirements for A nmonia-N
(NH:-N), Total Suspended Solids (TSS). and Enterococci have been reduced to twice per
week [See Sections A. (i .) — A. (3)1
• In accordance with Division guidance regarding the reduction of monitoring frequencies
in NPDES permits for exceptionally performing facilities, a footnote has been added to the
Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements sheets specifying that 2/week sampling
shall be conducted on two non-consecutive days within a week [See Footnote ; in Sections
A. (L) — A. (3.)].
• Based on Mercury TMDL evaluation showing fewer than two mercury values reported at
levels > 1 ng/L, the Mercury Minimization Plan (MVP) special condition has been
removed from the permit,
• The City of Havelock reported Total Silver at less than detection, with detection levels <
5.0 µgfL in the Effluent Pollutant Scans, The City's allowable discharge concentrations are
0.69 pg/L at 2.25 MGD, 0.64 }ig/L at 2.8 MGD, and 0.61 ug/L at 3.5 MGD for Total Silver.
DWR's laboratory identifies the target Practical Quantification Limit (PQL) for Total
Silver as L0 µg/L. 15A NCAC 2B .0505 (e) (4) requires that all test procedures must
produce detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements
and all data generated must be reported to the approved detection level or lower reporting
level of the procedure. if no approved methods are capable of achieving a detection level
below the permit discharge requirement (or allowable discharge concentration), the method
with the lowest detection level must be used. The Town should use sufficiently sensitive
test methods for all pollutants, including when performing Effluent Pollutant Scans.
• Based on the reasonable potential analysis (RPA) showing no reasonable potential to
violate state water quality standards, the monitoring requirement for Total Zinc has been
removed from the permit [See Sections A. (L) — A. (3.)].
• To provide guidance for instream monitoring of nutrients and Chlorophhyll-cr, a note has
been added to the Instream Monitoring Requirements special condition describing depth
integrated sampling and defining the Photic Zone [See Section A. (4.)].
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A, (7.), Chronic Toxicity Permit
Limit including that to allow for electronic submittal. Please review each paragraph
carefully.
• Special Condition A. (8.) has been modified to include the specific three years in which
the Effluent Pollutant Scan shall be performed (2021, 2022, and 2023), and to allow for
electronic submittal. In addition, at the end of the Special Condition, 2"1 species Toxicity
Testing Requirements for municipal permit renewals per Federal Regulations [40 CFR
127.21(j)(5)] have been added.
• To ensure that the facility can meet the TN load limits upon expansion to the 2.8 and 3.5
MGD flow tiers, a special condition has been added for an Authorization to Operate to be
issued for each flow expansion based the Pen-nittee's demonstration that the TN limits can
be met to the Division's satisfaction. [See Special Condition A. (11.)]
• Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs) and program reports. The requirement to continue reporting discharge monitoring
Page 2 of 3

data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR)
internet application has been added to the permit [See Special Condition A. (12.)].
• As the facility no longer discharges to East Prong Slocum Creek-, the permit map has been
modified to remove reference of the East Prong Slocum Creek outfall and its coordinates.
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 rnodification 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
Resources or any other Federal, State, or Local governmental regulations.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Gary Perlmutter at (919) 707-

(i.) the Permittee's annual TN discharge is less than or equal to its TN Load limit, or
(ii,) the Permittee is a co-permittee member of a compliance association.
C. if the Permittee is not a co-permittee member of a compliance association and the Permittee's
cumulative annual TN discharge exceeds the effective TN Load limit in this permit at any point
during the calendar year, the Permittee is in violation of its TN Load limit, and each day of a
continuing violation shall constitute a separate violation.
d. The TN Load limit in this Permit (if any) may be modified as the result of allowable changes in the
Permittee's TN allocation.
(i.) Allowable changes include those resulting from purchase of TN allocation from the Wetlands
Restoration Fund; purchase, sale, trade. or lease of allocation between the Permittee and other
dischargers; regionalization; and other transactions approved by the Division,
(ii,) The Permittee may request a modification of the TN Load limit in this Permit to reflect

Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is
not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period
of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with
the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow
measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1124 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or
Version 1110912011.42

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 18
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a
constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be
used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply:
Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
30, Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab
samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling
period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also
"Composite Sample," above.)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations
prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that
requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).

Facility Closure
Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this
permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).

Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)

December 7, 2022
Subject: Final NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NCO025348
New Bern WWTP
Craven County
Grade IV Biological WPCS
SIC Code 4952
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached 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).
Please note that the receiving stream is listed as impaired for Copper on the North Carolina 2022 303(d)
Impaired Waters List. Addressing impaired waters is a high priority with the Division, and instream data
will continue to be evaluated. If there is noncompliance with permitted effluent limits and stream
impairment can be attributed to your facility, then mitigative measures may be required.
The following change were made to the draft permit sent to you on October 19, 2022:
Based on continents from the Division's Aquatic Toxicology Branch, the second species toxicity test
revised from a quarterly 24-hr Pass/Fail acute test to a 48-hr LCSc, acute test. Additionally, the species
has been clarified as Menidiu beryllina (Inland Silverside). [See A.(12.)].
The final permit maintains the following significant changes identified in the letter sent on October
19, 2022:
Based on the reasonable potential analysis (RPA) showing no reasonable potential to violate state water
quality standards, the monitoring requirements for copper and cyanide have been removed from the
permit [See A. (2.)].
Based on the RPA predicting a maximum effluent zinc concentration that is greater than half of
allowable discharge concentration based on state water quality standards, quarterly monitoring for zinc
has been added to the permit [See A. (2.)].

• Based on RPA showing a reasonable potential to violate state quality standards from a limited dataset
(n < 8 samples with one exceedence), quarterly monitoring for Bromodichloromethane has been added
to the permit [See A. (2.)].
■ Based on Mercury TMDL evaluation showing detection of mercury at levels > 1 ng/L, Special
Condition A. (12.) Mercury Minimization Plan has been reworded toward its maintenance.
• Total Silver limits of 0.10 µg/L monthly average and 2.2 pgIL daily maximum were added to the permit
with monthly monitoring. A footnote has been added to the Effluent Sheet for Silver to test and report
to the lower reporting level of the procedure [See A. (2.)]. DWR's laboratory identifies the target
Practical Quantification Limits (PQLs) for Total Silver as 1.0 pgIL. 15A NCAC 2B .0505 (e) (4)
requires that all test procedures must produce detection and reporting levels that are below the permit
discharge requirements and all data generated must be reported to the approved detection level or lower
reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are capable of achieving a detection level
below the permit discharge requirement (or allowable discharge concentration) the method with the
lowest detection level must be used.
• Based on interpretation of instream conductivity data showing an increase downstream, daily effluent
Conductivity monitoring has been added to the permit [See A. (2.)].
• Based on Best Professional Judgement (BPJ) in consideration of the submitted groundwater modeling
results and the porosity of the bedrock below East Lake bordering the Neuse River, a 50% TN credit is
assigned to wastewater diversion to the East Lake High -Rate Infiltration Disposal System that will
expire upon the next permit cycle [See A. (5.)].
• For consistency with other instream monitoring parameters, vertical instream monitoring for pH has
been changed from top and bottom to every 1-foot interval throughout the water column [See A. (6.)].
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A. (10.), Acute Toxicity Permit Limit, please
review each paragraph carefully.
■ Special Condition A. (12.) has been modified to include the specific three years in which the Effluent
Pollutant Scan shall be performed (2024, 2025, and 2026). In addition, at the end of the Special
Condition, 2gd species Toxicity Testing Requirements for municipal permit renewals per Federal
Regulations [40 CFR 122.210)(5)] have been added.
■ Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and
program reports. The requirement to continue reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using
the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has been added
to your NPDES permit [See Special Condition A. (13.)].
• Parameter codes have been added to the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements [See A.
(L) through A. (5.)] and Instream Monitoring Requirements [See A. (6.)].
• Regulatory citations have been added to the permit.
• The facility map has been updated to show instream monitoring locations.
Pretreatment updates in response to NPDES permit renewal:
• On June 5, 2023, 180 days after the effective date of this NPDES permit renewal, the City is
required to submit to the Division a written technical evaluation of the need to revise local limits
(i.e., an updated IWSIHWA-ATIL-STMP, or documentation of why is not needed). This action
may include revising, updating, or adding to the list of SIUs regardless of timeframe.
o Submit the updated Long -Term Monitoring Plan (LTMP)
■ If there are new industries within the service area, submit an updated Industrial
Waste Survey (IWS)
• Review pollutants of concern (POCs) and update the LTMP to reflect pollutants in
industrial user permits (IUPs) and sludge management permit.
■ Update the POC PQLs to recommended levels:
• Arsenic (As) at 2.0 µglL
• Cadmium (Cd) at 0.5 µg/L
• Copper (Cu) at 2.0 pgIL

A. (10.) SALTWATER -ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
[15A NCAC 02B .0200] [I5A NCAC 02B .0500 et seq]
The Permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the North Carolina
Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology for Determining Acute Toxicity In A Single Effluent
Concentration" (Revised December 2010, or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall be performed as a Mysid
Shrimp (Mysidopsis hahia) 24-hour static test. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time
significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). The tests will be
performed during the months of March, June, September, and December. These months signify the first month
of each three-month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be
obtained during representative effluent discharge (i.e., when including WTP discharge and not diverted to East
Lake) and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will
begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will
revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered electronically using the
Division's eDMR system for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGE3E.
Additionally, DWR Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section 1 Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1621
Or, results can be sent to the email, ATForms.ATB(&ncdenr.gov .
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water 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 Water Sciences Section at the address
cited above.
Should the Permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test
requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Assessment of toxicity compliance is based on
the toxicity testing quarter, which is the three-month time interval that begins on the first day of the month in
which toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues until the final day of the third month.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina Division
of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified
to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism
survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-
up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

A. (13.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING — DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[NCGS 143-215.1(b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program reports.
The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21, 2015.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part Il of this permit
(Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting Reguirements ISupersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)I
The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge
Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted
monthly electronically using eDMR. The eDM1R system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data
and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. The eDMR system may be accessed at:
https.//deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/watCT-TeSources/edmr.
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being
physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a
temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge
monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1. 1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by
the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the following address:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617.
See "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance
of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of
discharge.
Starting on December 21, 2025, the Permittee must electronically report the following compliance monitoring
data and reports, when applicable:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
• Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and
• Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports.
The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to Request a Waiver from
Electronic Reporting" section below).
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient at the time of each
electronic submission. The Permittee should use the EPA's website resources to identify the initial recipient
for the electronic submission.
Page 14 of 17

DocuSign Envelope ID: 2D536D25-33E1-4FCO-9954-07BBBBC1BUG7
Permit NCO025348
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the entity (EPA or
the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity for receiving
electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type
of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic
reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule is found at:
h s:llwww.fedemlre ister. ov/documents/2015Y I O/22/2015-24954/national- ollutant-dischw e-
elimination-system-nudes-electronic-revortin I~ -rule.
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements" section above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The Permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an electronic
reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request to the Division. Requests
for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval
at least sixty (64) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin submitting
monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not exceed five (5) years and shall
thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports shall be submitted electronically to the Division
unless the Pei it re -applies for and is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division.
Approved electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting
waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the period that the
approved reporting waiver request is effective.
Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are found on the
following web page:
hgp://dgg.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
4. Sienatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and Supersedes Section B. (11.) Ml
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in Part II, Section
B. (I I.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part II, Section B. (11.)(b). A
person, and not a position, must be delegated signatory authority for eDMR reporting purposes.
For eDMR submissions, the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an eDMR user account and
login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more information on North Carolina's eDMR system,
registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit the following web page:
