Briefly describe the proposed permitting action and facility background: The City of Kinston applied for
an NPDES permit renewal at 11.85 MGD for the Johnnie Mosley Regional WRF on August 1, 2022. This
facility serves a population of approximately 20,500 residents, as well as 8 significant industrial users,
including 3 categorical industrial users (CIUs), via a Division -approved pretreatment program. Treated
domestic and industrial wastewater is discharged into the Neuse River, a class C; NSW waterbody in the
Neuse River Basin. No drinking water currently exists below the discharge.
Inflow and Infiltration (I/IZ In their application, the City noted an estimated average daily I/I flow of 3.9
MGD. In discussion with the City's Environmental Compliance Supervisor, it was explained that the I/I
was estimated by comparing the City's total sewer gallons billed to the plant's total gallons treated. The
City has performed smoke testing of the Lower Neuse Outfall and located areas of concern. In addition,
Page 1 of 13
the City has conducted CCTV inspections of the service area and located areas in need of repair on the
downtown area of Kinston. As a result, the City has repaired 1,255 linear feet of 8" sewer main and added
14 new service laterals. The Barrus lift station has been rehabilitated as well. The City is funding 4
additional improvement projects to continue addressing issues with I/1.
Sludge disposal: Sludge is land applied as class A sludge via WQ0003919.

4. Instream Data Summary
Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example: 1) to verify model predictions
when model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/l of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to
verify model predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future TMDL; 4) based on other
instream concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also
Monitoring Coalitions established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in
which case instream monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained).
Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (Y/N): YES
Name of Monitoring Coalition: Lower Neuse Basin Association (LNBA)
If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will be proposed for this
permit action: The current permit requires instream monitoring for temperature, dissolved oxygen, fecal
coliform, and conductivity upstream at least 100 feet above the outfall on the Neuse River and
downstream at Highway 55 Bridge. As the permittee is a member of the Lower Neuse River Basin
Association (LNBA) instream monitoring requirements are provisionally waived. The nearest upstream
monitoring station is LNBA station J6150000, located approximately 9 miles upstream of the outfall. No
discharge exists between LNBA station J6150000 and the Johnnie Mosley Regional WRF discharge. The
nearest downstream monitoring station is LNBA station J6250000, located approximately 0.7 miles
downstream of the outfall. Instream data from January 2019 through December 2022 have been
summarized below in Table 2.

Students t-tests were run at a 95% confidence interval to analyze relationships between instream
samples. A statistically significant difference is determined when the t-test p-value result is < 0.05.
Downstream temperature was not greater than 32 degrees Celsius [per 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (18)]
during the period reviewed. Downstream temperature was not greater than upstream temperature by more
than 2.8 degrees Celsius during the period reviewed. It was concluded that no statistically significant
difference exists between upstream and downstream temperature.
Average downstream DO was above 5 mg/L [per 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (6)] during the period reviewed.
Downstream DO was not observed at levels less than 4.0 mg/L during the period reviewed. It was
concluded that no statistically significant difference exists between upstream and downstream DO.
It was concluded that no statistically significant difference exists between upstream and downstream
conductivity.
While downstream fecal coliform was observed at levels greater than 400/100mL on two occasions
during the period reviewed, one observance occurred concurrently with elevated upstream fecal coliform
levels greater than 400/100mL. In review of concurrent effluent data, effluent fecal coliform
concentrations were observed at levels lower than the instream concentrations. As such, it does not appear
that effluent fecal coliform is influencing the receiving stream. Additionally, it was concluded that no
statistically significant difference exists between upstream and downstream fecal coliform.
While downstream pH was observed within the range of 6.0 to 9.0 standard units (s.u.) [per 15A NCAC
02B .0211 (14)] on two occasions (both < 6.0 s.u.) during the period reviewed, one observance occurred
concurrently with upstream pH lower than 6 s.u. In review of concurrent effluent data, effluent pH were
observed at levels within the range of 6.0 to 9.0 s.u. As such, it does not appear that effluent pH is
Page 4 of 13
influencing the receiving stream. Additionally, it was concluded that no statistically significant difference
exists between upstream and downstream pH.
It was concluded that no statistically significant difference exists between upstream and downstream
turbidity. While downstream turbidity was observed at levels greater than 50 NTUs [per 15A NCAC 02B
.0211 (21)] during the period reviewed on 2 occasions, this observance occurred concurrently with
elevated upstream turbidity levels.
It was concluded that no statistically significant difference exists between upstream and downstream TSS.
It was concluded that no statistically significant difference exists between upstream and downstream
TKN, NO2+NO3, ammonia or total phosphorous. As the receiving stream is classified NSW and the
Johnnie Mosely Regional WRF effluent is limited for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous, instream
monitoring for TKN, NO2+NO3, ammonia and TP have been added to the permit at a monthly frequency.
5. Compliance Summary
Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): The limit violations resulting

In their application, the City noted that the volume of daily I&I is approximately 3.9 MGD. The City has
conducted smoke testing and CCTV inspections to locate areas of concern and set aside funding for 4
improvement projects to rehabilitate the collection system's problem areas to reduce I/I. The I/I
experienced at the facility has contributed to numerous occasions where violations of total suspended
solids (TSS) limits have occurred as well as instances where denitrification filters were bypassed to
prevent damage. The work conducted by the City on their collection system since 2021 has reduced limit
exceedances for TSS. As the City continues to remedy the issues with their collection system, the bypass
events and limit exceedances will decrease in frequency and/or be eliminated.
Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results
(past 5 years): The facility passed 18 of 18 quarterly chronic toxicity tests as well as all 4 second species
chronic toxicity tests from January 2019 to April 2023.
Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The last facility inspection conducted
in October 2021 reported that the facility was non -compliant with NPDES permit NC0024236. In their
report, the Washington Regional Office inspector noted several issues experienced at the facility. On the
day of the inspection, one of the mechanical bar screens was down due to a bearing failure. The bar
screen has since been repaired. The City had installed a new effluent sampler but the sampler was unable
to read the flow signal. The City has hired a technician to repair the sampler. In the meantime, the City set
up a portable effluent sampler that is on constant time and constant volume. The belt press and sludge
dryer were not in operation and the sludge holding pads were full on the day of the inspection. The City
contacted Synagro for removal of the sludge from the sludge pads. The belt press is now operational. The
Page 5 of 13
City is in the process of addressing the issues experienced with their sludge dryer. The City is actively
working on repair of the sludge dryer. The inspector also noted that when the facility experiences high
flows they tend to violate the NPDES permit. It appears that the major reason for this is Inflow and
Infiltration. The City is working on identifying and repairing inflow and infiltration in the collection
system. The last pretreatment inspection conducted in May 2023 reported that the facility was compliant.
6. Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs)
Dilution and MixingZones
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0206, the following streamflows are used for dilution considerations
for development of WQBELs: 1 Q 10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q 10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic
Life; non -carcinogen HH); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH).
If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMIX model results): NA
If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0204(b): NA
Oxygen -Consuming Waste Limitations
Limitations for oxygen -consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to
ensure protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits
(e.g., BOD= 30 mg/1 for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and
model results.
Ifpermit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed: Limitations for
BOD and ammonia are water quality -based, BAT limits for new and expanded dischargers in the Neuse
River Basin. No changes are proposed.
Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations
Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of
1.0 mg/1(summer) and 1.8 mg/1(winter). Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria,
utilizing a multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non -Municipals.
Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection
of aquatic life (17 ug/1) and capped at 28 ug/1(acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values
reported below 50 ug/1 are considered compliant with their permit limit.
Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: TRC limits have
been reviewed in the attached WLA and have been found to be protective. No changes are proposed.
See Oxygen -Consuming Waste Limitations for background on existing ammonia limits. The ammonia
limits have been reviewed in the attached WLA and have been found to be protective. No changes are
proposed.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants
If applicable, conduct RPA analysis and complete information below.
The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality
standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent
effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC
RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero
background; 3) use of/z detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) streamflows used for dilution
consideration based on 15A NCAC 213.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of
Page 6 of 13
dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of
Instream Dissolved Metals Standards, dated June 10, 2016.
A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between January 2019
and June 2023. Pollutants of concern included toxicants with positive detections and associated water
quality standards/criteria. Based on this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for this
permit:
• Effluent Limit with Monitoring. The following parameters will receive a water quality -based
effluent limit (WQBEL) since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable
water quality standards/criteria: None
• Monitoring Only. The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they
did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria,
but the maximum predicted concentration was >50% of the allowable concentration: None
• No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since
they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality
standards/criteria and the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable
concentration: Total Arsenic, Total Cadmium, Chlorides, Total Chromium, Total Copper, Total
Cyanide, Total Lead, Total Molybdenum, Total Nickel, Total Selenium, Total Silver, Total Zinc
• POTW Effluent Pollutant Scan Review: Three effluent pollutant scans (2020, 2021, 2022) were
evaluated for additional pollutants of concern.
o The following parameter(s) will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL)
with monitoring, since as part of a limited data set, two samples exceeded the allowable
discharge concentration: None
o The following parameter(s) will receive a monitor -only requirement, since as part of a
limited data set, one sample exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: None
o The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since they did not
demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria and
the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable concentration: Total
Beryllium, Total Phenolic Compounds
If applicable, attach a spreadsheet of the RPA results as well as a copy of the Dissolved Metals
Implementation Fact Sheet for freshwater/saltwater to this Fact Sheet. Include a printout of the RPA
Dissolved to Total Metal Calculator sheet if this is a Municipality with a Pretreatment Program.
Toxicity Testing Limitations
Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in
accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits
issued to Major facilities or any facility discharging "complex" wastewater (contains anything other than
domestic waste) will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements, with several
exceptions. The State has received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in
NPDES permits, using single concentration screening tests, with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test
failure.
Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: A chronic WET limit at 6.1 % effluent will continue on a
quarterly frequency.
Mercury Statewide TMDL Evaluation
There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply
with EPA's mercury fish tissue criteria (0.3 mg/kg) for human health protection. The TMDL established a
wasteload allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year (81 lb/year), and is applicable to municipals and
industrial facilities with known mercury discharges. Given the small contribution of mercury from point
sources (-2% of total load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MMPs) for point source
Page 7 of 13
control. Municipal facilities > 2 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury (>1 ng/1) will
receive an MMP requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case -by -case basis, depending if mercury is a
pollutant of concern. Effluent limits may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed
the WQBEL value (based on the NC WQS of 12 ng/1) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL
value of 47 ng/l.

Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: Since no annual average mercury
concentration exceeded the WQBEL, and no individual mercury sample exceeded the TBEL, no mercury
limit is required. Since the facility reported no detections of low level mercury (all values > 1 ng/1), no
mercury minimization plan (MMP) is required.
Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations
If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation
within this permit: The Environmental Management Commission adopted Nutrient Management Strategy
rules in December 1997, classifying the entire Neuse River Basin as Nutrient Sensitive Waters. The point
source rule [T15A NCAC 2B .0713 (previously .0234)] sets Total Nitrogen (TN) discharge limits for all
point source dischargers larger than 0.5 MGD.
The rule also allows dischargers to form a group compliance association and work together to reduce
nitrogen; this option allows the association members added flexibility in controlling nitrogen discharges.
At the same time, the association is subject to a group NPDES permit ensuring that the association and its
individual members are accountable if they exceed the applicable nitrogen limits. Under the rule, there are
three types of TN limit in the Neuse:
1. the individual limits in the dischargers' individual permits,
2. the aggregate limit in an association's group NPDES permit, and
3. the individual allocations/limits for each Association member, also in that association permit.
A discharger may be subject to the first type of limit, or to the second and third, but never to all three at
the same time. The discharger is first subject to the TN limit (if any) in its individual NPDES permit. If
becomes a co-permittee to a compliance association's group NPDES permit, it is then governed by the TN
limits in that permit. If the association complies with its group TN limit in a given year, all members are
deemed to be in compliance with their individual allocations/ limits in the group permit. If the association
exceeds its limit, the members then become subject to their individual allocations/ limits as well.
Regardless of which permit governs a TN discharge, allocations/ limits will likely change over time as the
dischargers purchase, sell, trade, lease, or otherwise transfer nitrogen allocations. The Division will
modify the affected permits as necessary to ensure that the limits are kept up to date and reflect any such
transactions.
Nitrogen: The permit includes nutrient limits consistent with the Nutrient Management Strategy rule.
Under the new rule, the Permittee receives a TN Load limit of 126,711 lb/yr, a calendar year limit. The
limit reflects the Permittee's original allocation plus additional allocation received upon regionalization of
Peachtree WWTP 's discharge.

The Permittee is a member of the Neuse River Compliance Association at this time. So long as it remains
a co-permittee member, it is deemed to be in compliance with the TN limit in this permit, and its TN
discharge is governed instead by the Association's group NPDES permit NCC0000001, issued December
30, 2002.
Phosphorus: The Permittee's 2.0 mg/L Total Phosphorus limit is carried forward in the new permit. It is a
quarterly average limit to conform with the rule requirements. The 2019 through 2022 quarterly average
reported TP ranged from 0.16 to 2.4 mg/L (NOV issued for quarterly average exceedance in March
2021).
Other WQBEL Considerations
If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: As required by Session
Law 2018-5, Senate Bill 99, Section I LI r), every applicant shall submit documentation of any additional
pollutants for which there are certified methods with the permit application if their discharge is
anticipated via a Chemical Addendum to NPDES Application table. As an attachment to the permit
application, the City informed the Division that no monitoring for additional pollutants has been
conducted (see attached chemical addendum) and therefore no additional pollutants of concern have been
identified.
If applicable, describe any special actions (HQW or ORW) this receiving stream and classification shall
comply with in order to protect the designated waterbody: NA
If applicable, describe any compliance schedules proposed for this permit renewal in accordance with
15A NCAC 2H. 0107(c) (2) (B), 40CFR 122. 47, and EPA May 2007 Memo: NA
If applicable, describe any water quality standards variances proposed in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.3(e) and 15A NCAC 2B.0226 for this permit renewal: NA
7. Technology -Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs)
Municipals (if not applicable, delete and skip to Industrials)
Are concentration limits in the permit at least as stringent as secondary treatment requirements (30 mg/7
BODS/TSS for Monthly Average, and 45 mg/l for BODS/TSS for Weekly Average). YES
If NO, provide a justification for alternative limitations (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA
Are 85% removal requirements for BODS/TSS included in the permit? YES; Overall removal of BOD
and TSS was > 85% during the period reviewed. However, removal rates for TSS dropped below 85% on
occasion during the period reviewed, notably linked to heavy rain events. As the City continues to repair
their collection system to treat 1/1 issues, violations of TSS have become less common.
If NO, provide a justification (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA
8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge):
The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not
degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation
review in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit
must document an effort to consider non -discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.0105( c)(2). In all
Page 9 of 13
cases, existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is
maintained and protected.
If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives
Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: NA
9. Antibacksliding Review:
Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(1) prohibit
backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a
reissued permit to be as stringent as those in the previous permit, with some exceptions where limitations
may be relaxed (e.g., based on new information, increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL
limits, or WQBELs may be less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution).
Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit (YES/NO): No
If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated: NA
10. Monitoring Requirements
Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following
regulations and guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 213.0500; 2)
NPDES Guidance, Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances (7/15/2010 Memo); 3) NPDES Guidance,
Reduced Monitoring Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance (10/22/2012 Memo); 4) Best
Professional Judgement (BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not
considered effluent limitations under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti -
backsliding prohibitions would not be triggered by reductions in monitoring frequencies.
For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4.
In the current permit, total residual chlorine (TRC) is to be monitored 3/week. Per 15A NCAC 02B .0508,
Grade IV facilities shall monitor for TRC daily. As such, the monitoring frequency has been revised to
daily. TRC shall only be limited and monitored if chlorine or chlorine derivatives are used as a back-up
disinfectant.
To identify PFAS concentrations throughout the State, monitoring of PFAS chemicals has been added to
the permit at a frequency of quarterly. Since an EPA method for sampling and analyzing PFAS in
wastewater is not currently available, the PFAS sampling requirement in the Permit includes a
compliance schedule which delays the effective date of this requirement until the first full calendar
quarter beginning 6 months after EPA has a final wastewater method in 40 CFR136 published in the
Federal Register. This date may be extended upon request and if there are no NC -certified labs.
11. Electronic Reporting Requirements
The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21, 2015. Effective
December 21, 2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports
(DMRs) electronically. While NPDES regulated facilities would initially be required to submit additional
NPDES reports electronically effective December 21, 2020, EPA extended this deadline from December
21, 2020, to December 21, 2025. The current compliance date, effective January 4, 2021, was extended as
a final regulation change published in the November 2, 2020 Federal Register. This permit contains the
requirements for electronic reporting, consistent with Federal requirements.

NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards - Freshwater Standards
The NC 2007-2015 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA subsequently
approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016, with some exceptions. Therefore, metal limits in draft
permits out to public notice after April 6, 2016 must be calculated to protect the new standards - as
approved.

General Information on the Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
The RPA process itself did not change as the result of the new metals standards. However, application of
the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the
numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge.
The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream) hardness
and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge.
Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The
discharge -specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA
calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal (more on that
below), but it is also possible to consider case -specific translators developed in accordance with
established methodology.
RPA Permitting Guidance/WOBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater
The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern,
based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based on applicable
standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream.
If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the
discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If
monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e. consistently below
detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit.
To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the
following information:
• Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10 (the spreadsheet automatically calculates
the 1 Q 10 using the formula 1 Q 10 = 0.843 (s7Q 10, cfs) 0.993
• Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred
• Permitted flow
• Receiving stream classification
2. In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness -dependent metal of concern and for
each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and instream
(upstream) hardness values to use in the equations.
The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for any
hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for instream
hardness values, upstream of the discharge.
If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation using a
default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)). Minimum and maximum limits on the
hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400 mg/L, respectively.
If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness -dependent metal showing reasonable
potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site -specific effluent and
upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using the new data.
Page 2 of 4
Permit No. NCO024236
The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows:
Combined Hardness (chronic)
_ (Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. Effluent Hardness, mg/L)+s7Q10, cfs *Avg. Upstream Hardness, mg/L)
(Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q 10, cfs)
The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the IQ 10 flow.
3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total recoverable
metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site -specific translators, if any
have been developed using federally approved methodology.
EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved" converts the value for
dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in -stream
ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients
found in The Metals Translator: Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable
Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion (EPA 823-B-96-007, June 1996) and the
equation:
Cdiss = 1
Ctotal I + { [Kp.] [ss('+a)] [10 6] }
Where:
ss = in -stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1], minimum of 10 mg/L used,
and
Kpo and a = constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved
and adsorbed forms of metals. A list of constants used for each hardness -dependent
metal can also be found in the RPA program under a sheet labeled DPCs.
4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition coefficient (or
site -specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions.
In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist (ie. silver), the
dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion factor to
obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This method presumes that the metal is
dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria development for metals. For more
information on conversion factors see the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document.
5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable concentration
(permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation:
Ca = (s7Q 10 + Qw) (Cwgs) — (s7Q10) (Cb)
Qw
Where: Ca = allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L)
Cwqs = NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria (µg/L or mg/L)
Cb = background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or mg/L)
Qw = permitted effluent flow (cfs, match s7Q 10)
s7Q 10 = summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human
health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from noncarcinogens (cfs)
* Discussions are on -going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations
Flows other than s7Q 10 may be incorporated as applicable:
IQ 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity
Page 3 of 4
Permit No. NC0024236
QA = used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of water,
fish, and shellfish from carcinogens
30Q2 = used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality
6. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of concern.
Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date of the permit
application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th percentile upper
concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are compared to the Total
allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary. If the predicted max exceeds
the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations, the discharge is considered to show
reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard, and a permit limit (Total allowable
concentration) is included in the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support
Document for Water Quality -Based Toxics Control published in 1991.
7. When appropriate, permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in accordance
with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to Alexis Strauss on
40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements.
The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and
hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total chromium data
results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical results
based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum concentration (95th %) for
total chromium will be compared against water quality standards for chromium III and
chromium VI.
9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are
inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness -dependent metals to ensure the
accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset.
