There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

Permit NCO072699
A. (2. )ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/ FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
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 -July, 1992 or subsequent versions). The monitoring
shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas), or Mysid Shrimp (Mysidopsis Bahia),
or Silverside Minnow (Menidia Beryllina) (Permittee's choice) 24 hour static test. Once a test
organism has been selected, all subsequent tests must use the same test organism. The permittee
must notify the NPDES program of the selected test organism during the draft permit review period.
The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90%
(defined as treatment two in the procedure document). Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes
must be obtained during representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The tests will be
performed during the months of March, June, September and December.
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 TGE6C (Fathead Minnow), or TGE3E (Mysid Shrimp) or TIE6B ( Silverside Minnow).
Additionally, DWQ Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no
later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete 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.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT)
test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of
the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be
submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above.
Should 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.
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.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements 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 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.

SUBJECT: Draft NPDES Permit
Permit NCO072699
Pine Street WTP
Carteret County
Dear Mr. McKay:
2DSEP 2007
DENR - WATER QUALITY
POINT SOURCE BRANCH
We are in receipt of the draft NPDES permit for the Pine Street Water
Treatment Plant. The proposed permit contains significant changes from our previous
permit, and we have the following questions and concerns.
■ The Town of Beaufort conducted a Comprehensive Water Study in March, 2005
that recommended replacement of the existing Pine Street WTP with a new
Water Treatment Facility.
■ The Town is currently in the environmental planning stages for the new North
Beaufort WTP which will replace the existing Pine Street WTP. Our
Consulting Engineering Firm, Rivers & Associates Inc., is under contract to
coordinate the test wells program, prepare the NPDES Engineering Alternatives
Analysis and conduct the Environmental Assessment associated with the new
plant.
■ Attached is the preliminary schedule developed by Rivers & Associates for the
North Beaufort WTP project that projects completion of the new WTP by June,
2012. At that time the Pine Street WTP will be retired.
John Young, Director of Public Works
Johnny O'Shall, Public Works Supervisor Frank Sansone, Water/ORC
Elbert Goclette, Construction & Maintenance Supervisor Dennis Metcalf, Ww'l'P/ORC
Sallie Pace, Administr five Support Specialist

■ Project status is as follows:
o Rivers has developed specifications for construction of the test wells and
developed a preliminary well field site layout map. The well drilling
construction work will be advertised shortly.
o Boundary survey work is currently being performed at the proposed plant
site location.
o The Town is currently working to obtain options for the new plant site and
potential wells sites.
o The Town, via Rivers, has submitted an environmental scoping document,
and received comments from Clearinghouse.
o An SRF Loan Application has been submitted to Public Water Supply for
consideration.
■ The Pine Street WTP is an accumulation of various processes housed within
several structures at the original public works complex. WTP facilities have been
located there in excess of thirty years. The existing building is even older. In
addition, there is no space on site for expansion of facilities.
■ Pine Street Well #1 was constructed in 1955. The well has been rehabilitated
previously, however, pumping capacity has been reduced from 420 gpm to 250
gpm due to decaying screens. Pine Street Well #2 was constructed in 1976.
■ The Town will continue to expend monies to operate and maintain this facility for
a few years more while the new WTP is being designed and constructed.
However, we nor our consultant believe that it is a prudent expenditure of scarce
resources to make capital improvements or to perform additional testing at. the
existing Pine Street WTP which is scheduled for abandonment.
■ We respectfully request that all of the new provisions contained in the draft
permit be eliminated, and that the current discharge permit be renewed as it exists,
given that the Pine Street WTP will be replaced with a new facility. We believe
that the requirements for monitoring of additional parameters, total residual
chlorine limit, and whole effluent toxicity testing is an undue financial hardship to
the Town that will not be of long-term benefit to the environment given that this
discharge will be eliminated in 2012.

■ If it is not possible to eliminate the new provisions contained in the draft permit,
we request that a time extension or some other mechanism be added to the permit
that will effectively preclude the Town from performing the required monitoring,
improvements and testing during the remaining life of the Pine Street WTP.
Thank you for your consideration of our request. We look forward to your
response. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 252-
728-7166, or Greg Churchill, P.E. with Rivers & Associates at 252-752-4135.

PART V - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The facility has not provided any methods of wastewater treatment and discharges backwash water
from ion exchange softening units. The facility utilizes (gas) chlorine disinfection for potable water
and fluoridates the water as well. Backwash water is provided using chlorinated/fluoridated water.
The brine backwash removes calcium and magnesium chlorides in a soluble form. The plant
previously has not been rated, nor is rating recommended given the fact there is no treatment
pro . r/' e s �` vr/dt t 2 � q i► l y, /' � S t a �` �o ✓ � �D/ Su � t .tPr► .
The WTP permitting guidance for ion exchange (in it's entirety) should be imposed. The limit for
fluoride of 1800 µg/L and total residual chlorine limit of 13 µg/L should be imposed. The flow is
less than 0.50 MGD; therefore the monitoring frequency for limited parameters should be 2/month
and monthly for those not limited. Please refer to the attached (appendix B, page 5 of the WTP
permitting guidance for membrane technology) for the list of parameters that should be included. A
compliance schedule for the TRC limit can be given. A much shorter compliance window should be
given to the additional parameters, since it requires monitoring only.
The facility also has a brine tank that can overflow from the tank drain to the UT to Town Creek. A
discharge from this tank would be a nonpermitted discharge. The staff report writer in 2002
recommended the Division implement current policy for tank drains entering a permitted outfall.
During the site visit this tank was overflowing and discharging due to overfilling the brine tank.
Potable water is used for the brine tank which has a residual chlorine concentration of 1 mg/L.
Considering the previous request and this incident, WiRO reiterates the request for the Division to
implement current policy for tank drains entering a permitted outfall.

The Wilmington Regional Office recommends reissuance of the permit in accordance with the White
Oak River Basin Plan permitting strategy provided no significant adverse public comment is
received. The Wilmington Regional Office also requests that the recommendations provided herein
are considered in the reissuance of Permit No. NC0072699.

Subject: Renewal Notice
NPDES Permit NCO072699
Piw- atxer-L ITE
Carteret County
Dear Permittee:
Your NPDES permit expires on July 31, 2007. Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A
NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior
to expiration of the current permit. If you have already mailed your renewal application, you may
disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later
than February 1, 2007. Failure to request renewal by this date may result in a civil assessment of at least
$500.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after July 31, 2007, the current permit must be renewed.
Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1;
unpermitted discharges of wastewater may be assessed civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact
me at the telephone number or address listed below.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you
must submit with the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact me at the
telephone number or e-mail address listed below.
Sincerely,
lwk '`""""/

YES_ This is a SIMPLE EXPEDITED permit renewal (administrative
renewal with no changes, or only minor changes such as TRC, NH3,
name/ownership changes). Include conventional WTPs in this group.
YES_ This is a MORE COMPLEX EXPEDITED permit renewal (includes
Special Conditions (such as EAA, Wastewater Management Plan), 303(d)
listed, toxicity testing, instream monitoring, compliance concerns, phased
N0 ✓limits). Basin Coordinator to make case -by -case decision.
This permit CANNOT BE EXPEDITED for one of the following reasons:
• Major Facility (municipaUindustrial)
• Minor Municipals with pretreatment program
• Minor Industrials subject to Fed Effluent Guidelines (lb/day limits for BOD, TSS,
etc)
• Limits based on reasonable potential analysis (metals, GW remediation organics)
• Permitted flow > 0.5 MGD (requires full Fact Sheet)
• Permits determined by Basin Coordinator to be outside expedited process
