Dear Ms. Payne:
This letter is to inform you that the Division has finalized its review and the comment period is now
closed for NPDES permit NC0049867. A final copy of the permit is attached to this letter. This permit is issued
pursuant to the requirements of the North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6. 1983.
There has been one additional change to the permit in addition to the changes noted in the draft permit
previously sent to you:
➢ Monitoring for metals has been removed, as these parameters are covered by the Town's Pretreatment
Program and Short -Term Monitoring Plan.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days
following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B
of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and
binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may
require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. In addition, this permit does not affect the legal
requirement to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required
by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental
permit that may be required.

Permit NCO049867
A. (2). CHROMC. TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 3.0%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in
the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or
subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
March, June, September & December. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below
the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the
two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the
highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest
concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of
"detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are
specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -
February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later
than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate
signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if
chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the
report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted
to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,
monitoring will be required during the following month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-
opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls,
shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later
than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Summary
The facility has requested a permit renewal with no modifications.
The following notes were taken during the review of the application package:
• 303(d) List Review: Third Creek is not listed on North Carolina's 1998
303 (d) List.
• Review of Basin Plan: Third Creek is listed as support threatened based on
Fecal Coliform levels. Nonpoint source runoff contamination is the probable
cause although several small facilities in the subbasin show occasional
violations.
To improve water quality in impaired streams and protect other waters from
further degradation, the specific pollutant sources must be identified. As
resources allow, DWQ intends to develop NPS management strategies for
this waterbody for the second Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin Plan.
Wasteload Allocation (prepared 4-5-94) : Limits were determined to be
water quality limited. Instream monitoring was recommended for both
upstream and downstream. Facility required to meet chronic toxicity limit of
3.2% on a quarterly basis March, June, September, and December. Facility
is also required to monitor for several metals due to the discharge from
Freightliner.
• Staff Report (prepared 2-24-99): Facility is rated as a class II facility.
Region noted that Freightliner is an industrial discharger that accounts for
one third to one half of the WWTP influent flow. Freightliner conducts
metal finishing work that utilizes various metals and other potentially toxic
substances. Freightliner is part of the Town's pretreatment program and is
required to monitor its effluent for potential toxic effects.
✓ The Region recommends that the following changes be made at renewal:
permitted wastewater flow should be reduced from 0.3 MGD to 0.27
MGD (the design capacity of the WWTP).
✓ Both treatment tracks should remain dedicated to treating wastewater
influent (since no flow equalization is available to buffer loading rates,
and wastewater flow periodically exceeds the design capacity of the
largest treatment track.

• Reasonable Potential Analysis: Metals monitoring will remain the same.
No limits are necessary based on 1999-1998 monitoring data. The only
proposed change is to change cyanide monitoring from quarterly to monthly.
This change was made in response to results of RPA and division policy in
reference to metals monitoring for Class II facility.
• DMR Review:
The following is a summary of the monthly average levels reported during
1998 to April 1999:
TRC levels range from 1.43 ug/1 to 19.23 ug/1
BOD levels range from 3.5 mg/l to 37.2 mg/1
Ammonia levels range from 0.35 mg/1 to 34.85 mg/1
TSS levels range from 2.5 mg/1 to 14.1 mg/l
Fecal Coliform levels range from 1 #/100ml to 7.4 #/100ml
DO levels range from 6.3 mg/l to 7.1 mg/l
Metals Monitoring:
Cadmium levels range from <1 ug/l to 3.1 ug/1
Chromium levels range from <2 ug/l to 34 ug/l
Nickel levels range from <10 ug/1 to 10 ug/1
Lead levels range from <2 ug/1 to 9.3 ug/1
Cyanidelevels range from <5 ug/1 to 13 ug/1
Mercury levels range from <2 ug/1 to <2 ug/l
Selenium levels range from <5ug/l to <5 ug/l
Upstream and downstream samples are summarized as follows:
DO levels upstream range from 5.7 mg/l to 9.3 mg/l.
DO levels downstream range from 5.7 mg/l to 9.0 mg/l.
Temperature levels upstream range from 8 °C to 24 'C.
Temperature levels downstream range from 8.5 °C to 23.8 °C
Fecal coliform levels upstream range from 124.2 #/100ml to 2631.9 #/100ml
Fecal coliform levels downstream range from 378.3 #/100m1 to 2261.2 #/100ml

Part III
Permit No. NCO049867
E. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 3.2% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date
of this permit during the months of March, June, September, and December. Effluent sampling
for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all
treatment processes.
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 TGP3B. Additionally,' DEM Form AT-1(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
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 dosetresponse 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 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 speed above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management 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 retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

I looked at their draft permit that issued 11/24/99 and I believe there
may be a minor mistake in their IWC. I calculated it to be a chronic

PART I - GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Facility and Address: Town of Cleveland WWTP PhysicaLAddr=
PO Box 429 625 3rd Creek Church Rd-
Cleveland, NC 27013 Cleveland, NC
2. Date of Investigation: February 23, 1999
3. Report Prepared By: Charley Schwartz, Environmental Engineer
4. Person(s) Contacted and Telephone Number: Cathy Payne (Town Clerk) [phone],
Clyde Kivett (ORC), and Nadine Blackwell at [phone]
5. Directions to Site: From the jct. of US Hwy 70 and Main Street in the Town of
Cleveland, travel north on Main Street approximately 0.7 mile. Turn left onto Beaumont
Farms Rd, travel west on Beaumont Farms Road approximately 0.3 mile. Turn right onto
Third Creek Church Road, travel north on Third Creek Church Road approximately 0.7
mile. The WWTP is located on the west side of the road 100 yards before the Third
Creek bridge.
6. Discharge Point(s), List for all discharge Points: -
Latitude: 35' 44' 38"
Longitude: 80' 40' 56"
Attach a USGS Map Extract and indicate treatment plant site and discharge point on map.
USGS Quad No.: E 16 NW
7. Site size and expansion area consistent with application: Yes. The facility has limited
room remaining for upgrading and expansion.
8. Topography (relationship to flood plain included): Moderate sloping; the WWTP is not
located within the 100 year flood plain.

Cleveland WWTP NPDES Permit Renewal
Page 2
9. Location of Nearest Dwelling: A residential subdivision is currently under construction
to the immediate west of the facility. The nearest completed home was within 100 feet of
the WWTP property line and 150 feet from the aerobic sludge digester. However, it
appears that some undeveloped lots will share a property line with the WWTP and be
within 50 feet of the oxidation ditches and/or aerobic sludge digester. With the
immediate proximity of these residences, complaints regarding odors associated with the
plant appear imminent. It also appears that additional measures may be necessary to
limit access to the facility and discharge point.
10. Receiving Stream or Affected Surface Waters: Third Creek
a. Classification: C - However, construction of the residential neighborhood will
allow easier access for children who might swim/play in the creek more
frequently.
b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Yadkin 03-07-04
C. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: The creek
varied in width from 15 feet to 40 feet and was 2 to 4 feet in depth. The creek had
good flow (strong current) during the site visit. The bottom material varied with
sections of sandy, muddy, and rocky (boulder size) material. The creek was
surrounded by at least 100 feet of established vegetation, primarily trees and
woody shrubs.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1. a. Volume of Wastewater: 0.1 to 0.2 MGD (Current Average Daily Effluent Flow)
b. What is the current permitted capacity: 0.30 MGD
C. Actual treatment capacity of current facility (current design capacity): 0.27 MGD
d. Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous ATCs issued in the
previous two years: Since the previous permit was issued the following
activities/upgrades were performed: influent piping replaced, new headworks with
rotary bar screen and manual bar screen added, flow splitter box added, one 0.18
MGD oxidation ditch with dual rotors added, one final clarifier added,
chlorination chamber replaced with new chlorination and dechlorination chamber,
one ultrasonic flow measurement station added; and one aerobic digester with
mechanical aerator added. All activities began after November 1994 (exact date
not in Office files) and have been completed.
e. Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: The existing
WWT facilities consist of one headworks station with rotary bar screen and
manual bar screen, one flow splitter box, two oxidation ditches (one 180,000 gpd
and one 90,000 gpd), two final clarifiers, one chlorination/dechlorination basin,
one ultrasonic flow measurement station, and one aerobic digester with
mechanical aerator. The sludge drying beds have been taken out of service.
f. Description of proposed WWT facilities: None proposed at this time, however,
flow equalization and additional residuals storage/treatment area may be needed.

Cleveland WWTP NPDES Permit Renewal
Page 3
g. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: Freightliner is an industrial discharger
that accounts for one third to one half of the WWTP influent flow. Freightliner
conducts metal finishing work that utilizes various metals and other potentially
toxic substances. Freightliner is part of the Town's pretreatment program and is
required to monitor its effluent for potential toxic effects. Chlorine is added to the
waste stream at the plant.
h. Pretreatment Program (POTWs only): The Division approved the Town's
pretreatment program on April 5, 1995.
2. Residual handling and utilization/disposal scheme: Currently the Town has the plant's
residuals hauled to a disposal site in Winston-Salem by Transou. Mr. Clyde Kivett stated
that this alternative was less expensive than land applying on the Town's land application
fields. The Town still maintains its land application permit.
a. If residuals are being land applied specify DWQ Permit No. W00011431.
Residuals Contractor: Environmental Waste Recycling, Inc.
Telephone No. [phone]
b. Residuals stabilization: At least 7 residuals samples are collected and analyzed
for fecal coliform during each monitoring period.
C. Landfill: N/A
Treatment Plant Classification: Class II (new rating sheet attached).
4. SIC Code(s): 4952 Wastewater Code(s): Primary: 01
Secondary: N/A
5. MTU Code(s): 10013
PART HI - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant Funds or are any public monies
involved (municipals only)? Yes
2. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: None at this time.
3. Important SOC/JOC or Compliance Schedule dates: N/A
4. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: N/A
5. Air Quality and/or Groundwater concerns or hazardous materials utilized at this facility
that may impact water quality, air quality, or groundwater? Proper operation of the
WWTP should not result in violations of air, water or groundwater standards. The close
proximity of the neighboring residential subdivision may result in complaints (odor).

Cleveland WWTP NPDES Permit Renewal Page 4
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee has applied for renewal of the subject discharge permit. The WWTP
operates as a dual track treatment system with each track consisting of an oxidation ditch and a
final clarifier. One track has a design capacity of 90,000 gpd and the other has a design capacity
of 180,000 gpd. At the time of the site visit, the facility was using only the 180,000 gpd track to
treat the incoming wastewater. The smaller oxidation ditch had been used for storing wasted
sludge, but it was fully loaded and could not accept any more wasted sludge.
Mr. Kivett (ORC) indicated that the facility has had recent trouble processing large slugs
of wastewater due to the operation of only one treatment track and no available flow equalization
at the plant. However, Mr. Kivett stated that the sludge would be removed from the 90,000 gpd
oxidation ditch in the near future, and both treatment tracks would be available for wastewater
treatment. Since influent wastewater flow periodically exceeds 180,000 gpd, both tracks must be
operational to meet the existing wastewater demand. Even with both tracks operational, this
facility may still need additional flow equalization and residuals storage/treatment facilities in
the near future.
This Office recommends that the NPDES Permit be renewed with the following
conditions: 1) the permitted wastewater flow should be reduced from 0.30 MGD to 0.27 MGD
(the design capacity of the WWTP); and 2) both treatment tracks should remain dedicated to
treating wastewater influent (since no flow equalization is available to buffer loading rates, and
wastewater flow periodically exceeds the design capacity of the largest treatment track).
As an additional note, the construction of the residential housing community immediately
adjacent to the WWTP presents a number of problems to both the facility and the DWQ. Even a
well operated and maintained WWTP can generate disagreeable odors (especially during warmer
weather). This Office has discussed this matter with the Town, and suggested that it make every
effort to inform the project developer, as well as the new home owners, about environmental
