PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
In the letter accompanying the application for renewal, the
permittee requested that several parameters be rescinded. The
monitoring of the effluent for NH4, TOX, and Orthophosphate could
be eliminated if the Groundwater Section has no concerns regarding
these parameters.
In general, the plant is well operated and maintained. Maximum
daily flows during the peak seasons are typically in the 7000 to
10000 gpd range. The plant serves homes in the Kinnakeet Shores
Development on the soundside of NC 12 and a shopping center which
includes the Food Lion Store and several other shops.
It is recommended that this permit be renewed for a period of five
years.

.0004 DEFWfTIONS
The following definitions shall apply throughout this Subchapter.
(1) Activated Carbon Beds. A physical/chemical method for reducing soluble organic material from wastewater effluent; The column -type beds used In this
method will have a flow rate varying from two to eight gallons per minute per square foot and may be either upflow or downffow carbon bads. Carbon may or
may not be regenerated on the wastewater treatment plant site;
(2) Aerated Lagoons. A basin in which all solids are maintalned In suspension and by which biological oxidation or orgark matter is reduced through artificially
accelerated transfer of oxygen on a flow -through basis;
(3) Aeration. A process of bringing about Intimate contact between air or high purity oxygen In a liquid by spraying, agitation or diffuslon;(3a) Extended
Aeration. An activated sludge process utilizing a minimum hydraulic detention time of 18 hours.
(4) Agriculturally managed site. Any she on which a crop Is produced, managed, and harvested (Crop Includes grasses, grains, tree:, atc.);
(5) Air Stripping. A process by which the ammonium ion Is first converted to dissolved ammonia (pH adjustment) with the ammonia then released to the
atmosphere by physical means; or other similar processes which remove petroleum products such as benzene, toluene, and xylene;
(6) Carton RegeneraWn. The regeneration of exhausted carbon by the use of a furnace to provide extremely high temperatures which volatilize and oxidize the
absorbed knpurWas;
(7) Carbonaceous Stage. A stage of wastewater treatment designed to achieve 'secondary' effluent limits;
(8) Centrifuge. A mechanical device In which centrtfugal force Is used to separate solids from liquids or to separate liquids of different denstttas:
(9) Chemical Addition Systems- The addhlon of chemlcal(s) to wastewater at an application point for purposes of Improving solids removal, pH adjustment,
alkallnhy control, etc.; the capability to experiment with different chemicals and dI ferent application points to achieve a spechfc result will be considered one
system; the capability to add chemicals) to dual unite will be rated as one system; capability to add a chemical at a different application points for different
purposes will result In the systems being rated as separate systems;
(10) Chemical Sludge Condboning. The addition of a chemical compound such as time, ferric chloride, or a polymer to wet sludge to coalesce the mass prior to
Its application to a dewatering device;
(11) Closed Cycle Systems. Use of holding ponds or holding tanks for containment of wastewater containing Inorganic non -toxic materials from sand, gravel,
crushed stone or other similar operations. Such systems shall carry a maximum of two points regardless of pumping fadlftWe or any other appurtenances;
(12) Combined Removal of Carbonaceous BOD and Nitrogenous Removal by Nitrification- A single stage system required to achieve permit effluent nmhs on BOD
and ammonia nitrogen within the same biological reactor,.
(13) Dechlorinatlon. The partial or complete reduction of residual chlorine In a liquid by any chemical or physical process;
(14) Denhrfflcatlon Process. The conversion of nhrate-nitrogen to nitrogen gas;

Nutrients, Inc. by the N. C. Division of Environmental
Management. Permit No.W00000974 dated June:14, 1994 is
effective until May 31, 19.99 and is subject to numerous
conditions and limitations. The Operator in Responsible
Charge (ORC) and plant owners are responsible for making sure
that certain conditions are satisfied..
Residuals (sludge) analyses will only be required once a year
beginning June 14, 1994 or for each instance of land
application if less frequently than annually. The analyses
shall include the following parameter:
ARSENIC ALUMINUM
CADMIUM AMMONIA -NITROGEN
CHROMIUM CALCIUM
COPPER NITRATE -NITRITE NITROGEN
LEAD % TOTAL SOLIDS
H
MOLYBDENUM PHOSPHOROUS
NICKEL PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN
SELENIUM (by calculation)
ZINC POTASSIUM
MAGNESIUM SODIUM
TKN
The operator will be required to certify that'the residuals
(sludge) have been stabilized and that vector attraction
i'.

reduction requirements have been met.
Atlantic Sewage Control is sponsoring ap,information meeting
for the operators and/or owners of thel,treatment plants
which are on the renewed permit. It is,,important for each
treatment plant to be represented at<,this meeting by at least
one individual. Ms. Carolyn McCaskill', State Engineering

BOUNDARY, as determined by monitoring, the permittee shall either (i) demonstrate,
through predictive calculations or modeling, that natural site conditions, facility design and
operational controls will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance Boundary; or,

4
11. The permittee shall begin construction of this upgraded facility within sixty (60) days of the
1 thirty (30) day average exceedance of 80 percent of the design capacity of the plant

83 bedrooms at 120 gallons/bedroom is the allowable connections to be made once 40,000
gpd is reached. Any additional connections made to this facility will be a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and is enforceable by the Environmental Management
Commission.
12. The thirty (30) day average of 220,000 gpd shall not be exceeded.
