Subject: NPDES PERMIT ISSUANCE
NPDES Permit NCO072702
Glenda Drive WTP
Class PC-1
Carteret County
Dear Mayor Stanley:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached final NPDES discharge 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).
The final permit includes the following significant changes from the existing permit:
➢ Section A. (5) has been added to require electronic submission of effluent data, and a footnote
has been added in Section A. (1). Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all
discharge monitoring reports (DMRs).
➢ Regulatory citations have been added.
➢ Outfall map has been updated.
➢ The month of pemut expiration has been changed to allow for a full 5-year permit cycle.
➢ The Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet has been updated per the current water treatment plant
guidance.
➢ Parameter codes have been added to the effluent table in Section A. (1).
➢ The flow sample type has been changed to instantaneous and the measurement frequency
changed to 2/month per the current water treatment strategy.
➢ The limits for pH have been moved from the footnotes to the effluent table in Section A. (1).
➢ Limits have been added for Total Copper and Total Zinc in Section A. (1) based on a reasonable
potential to exceed water quality standards. Associated monitoring has been changed to
monthly.
➢ Limits have been removed from Total Lead and monitoring has been reduced to quarterly in
Section A. (1) as there is no longer a reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards
based on submitted DMR data.
➢ Footnote for flow has been added in Section A. (1) concerning log books.
➢ Footnotes for total residual chlorine and aquatic toxicity have been updated in Section A. (1).

Mayor Richard Stanley
NC0072702 Issued Permit
➢ The sampling type for all parameters, except flow, have been changed from grab to composite in
Section A. (1), and an associated footnote has been added.
➢ Language in Section A. (2) has been updated.
The final permit includes the following significant changes from the draft permit:
➢ Hydrofluorosilicic acid has been defined to be for fluoride addition on the Supplement to Permit
Cover Sheet.
➢ Discharge description updated on Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet and in Section A. (1).
➢ Footnote concerning composite sampling has been moved to become Section A. (3).
➢ A compliance schedule has been added for Total Copper, Total Lead, and Total Zinc limits as
Section A. (4).
➢ The limit for total residual chlorine in Section A. (1) has been made a daily maximum limit. It
was erroneously changed in the draft permit.
➢ The sample type for pH, turbidity, and Total Residual Chlorine have been changed to grab
samples per the current water treatment plant strategy and 15A NCAC 02B .0505(c)(3)(C).
These parameters were mistakenly changed to composite samples in the draft permit.
Comments were received on the draft permit from John Day, Town Manager of the Town of Beaufort.
Based on comments received, hydrofluorosilicic acid has been defined to be for fluoride addition and
the description of the discharge has been updated to state "water softener regeneration -backwash
wastewater" the Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet. The description of the discharge has also been
updated to reference only "backwash" in Section A. (1). The language used in the Supplement to
Permit Cover Sheet is standard language used in all water treatment plant NPDES permits. The
maximum monthly average referenced in the draft permit is based on data in the Division's database
from October 2016. Per the Division's water treatment plant guidance, this language will remain in the
permit for consistency of water treatment plant NPDES permits across the state.
Concerning comments on instantaneous sampling for flow, as discharge from the facility is
intermittent, the sample type, per the current water treatment plant strategy, should be defined as
instantaneous. After speaking with staff in the Wilmington Regional office, the flow meter in place is
acceptable.
A compliance schedule has been added to the permit as Section A. (4) for Total Copper and Total Zinc.
Monitoring will remain for both parameters with a measurement frequency of monthly. -Please note
that the practical quantitation limit (PQL) for Total Copper is 2 µg/L and the PQL for Total Zinc is 10
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 SA waters for copper are 4.8
µg/L (acute) and 3.1 µg/L (chronic), and for zinc are 90 µg/L (acute) and 81 µg/L (chronic). However,
the High Quality Waters (HQW) designation of the receiving stream decreases the limits of the water
quality standards. 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 three (3) years at the time the review is completed.
Regarding Mr. Day's comments on composite sampling, please note that composite sampling will
remain in the permit. The language concerning this has been moved from the footnotes in Section A.

Mayor Richard Stanley
NCO072702 Issued Permit
(1) into the new Section A. (3). The Division has determined that two (2) months from the permit
effective date is sufficient time to complete the requirement.
Please note that the receiving stream is listed as an impaired waterbody on the North Carolina 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.
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.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Brianna
Young of my staff at [phone].

application system [see A. (5)].
2. Duration of discharge should be noted in log books and a total daily discharge reported in the DMR.
3. Limit and monitor only if the facility adds chlorine or chlorine derivatives to water that is eventually
discharged. The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 µg/L to be in
compliance with the permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values
reported by a North Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall below
50 µg/L.
4. Acute Toxicity 24-hour Pass/ Fail Monitoring January, April, July and October. Permittee shall use
mysid shrimp as the test organism unless another organism of equal or greater sensitivity is deemed more
appropriate based on the characteristics of the discharge and receiving stream. See Special Condition
A. (2) for details.
5. See Section A. (3) for compliance schedule.
6. See Section A. (4) for compliance schedule.
All samples collected should be from a representative discharge event.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.
Page 3of8

Permit NCO072702
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 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 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.
Page 4of8

Permit NCO072702
USE OF A DIFFERENT TEST ORGANISM
The permittee may request the use of a different test organism upon documentation that the alternate test
organism would provide an equal or greater level of protection and is appropriate based on the
characteristics of the discharge and receiving stream. Such documentation would consist of one of the
following:
1. For saltwater classified streams, a fathead minnow may be assigned as the acute testing species
if the salinity of the receiving stream at the point of discharge is < 5 ppt throughout the tidally
influenced cycle. This determination may be based on the best professional judgment of DWQ
staff or data collection provided by the permittee and approved by DWQ staff. This evaluation
should include vertical profiles of salinity/ conductivity measurements at both high tide and low
tide over several 24 hr. cycles.
2. Three consecutive "side -by -side" tests with results indicating that the alternate test organism is
as or more sensitive to the facility's effluent. Each test series would consist of two separate
toxicity tests conducted on the same sample of effluent with the length of exposure specified by
the permit, the only difference between the tests being the test organism.
3. An alternate plan developed by the permittee and approved by the Aquatic Toxicology Unit that
demonstrates an equal level of protection is offered by the test organism.
For items 2 and 3, it must also be demonstrated that viable and standardized culture techniques are
available for that organism and standardized testing methodologies have been developed and validated.
This demonstration should meet guidance provided by EPA in Section 6 of EPA-821-R-02-012, Short
Term Methods for Estimating the Acute Toxicity of Effluents and Receiving Waters to Freshwater
Organisms, Fifth Edition, 2002. Requests to use a different test organism and supporting documentation
should be sent to NC DWQ, ESS at the address listed above.
A. (3.) COMPOSITE SAMPLING (OUTFALL 001)
For parameters in Section A. (1.) requiring composite sampling, a composite sampler must be installed
within two (2) months of the permit effective date, or another method must be approved by the
Wilmington Regional Office Water Quality Regional Operations Section within two (2) months of the
permit effective date in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0503(4).
A. (4.) SCHEDULE OF COMPLIANCE (OUTFALL 001)
[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
1. Within one year from the effective date of the permit the Permittee shall submit to the Division of
Water Resources a Corrective Action Plan summarizing the actions or strategy to be taken to achieve
compliance with the Total Copper and Total Zinc limits at Outfall 001. Specific dates for completion
or implementation of each action shall be included.
2. Within two years from the effective date of the permit submit a report to the Division summarizing
actions taken in accordance with the Corrective Action Plan.

Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting Requirements [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)1
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 electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring
data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR
application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR),
permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using
eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one
signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DEQ / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
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
Page 6of8

Permit NC0072702
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 iister gov/documents/2015/10/22/2015-24954/national-
pollutant-discharge-elimination-s stem=nnpdes-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
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:

SUMMARY
The Beaufort Glenda Drive WTP is an Ion Exchange (Softener) Water Treatment Plant to treat
ground water drawn from two wells. The facility is designed to provide 0.60 MGD of treated
potable water. After softening, the water is treated by gaseous chlorination and hydrofluosilicic
acid. The backwash and softener regeneration wastewater is estimated to be 0.005 MGD average
at plant capacity of 0.6 MGD potable water. Recent operating data (April 2014 — May 2017)
show a maximum monthly average discharge flowrate of 0.0258 MGD. The facility discharges
the backwash wastewater after dichlorination with sodium bisulfite to an unnamed tributary to
Turner Creek in the White Oak River Basin. The discharge is to a dry ditch with no normal flow
except the discharge and storm water.
The receiving stream (Turner Creek) is classified SA, HQW PNA waters in the White Oak River
Basin. This reach is listed on the 2014 303(d) list— Shellfish growing area Conditionally
approved closed (Fecal, SH, SA) (see below).

Permitting Strategy for Ion Exchange Water Treatment Plants is followed for this facility.
Discharge Data Review and RPA
The maximum Monthly Average flow was 0.025814 MGD in October 2016 (data from April
2014 to May 2017). RPA was performed for copper, zinc, and lead (data from October 2012 to
May 2017). Copper and Zinc have RP, limits added with monthly monitoring. Lead showed no
RP (no detects); monitoring retained as previous permit showed RP but reduced to quarterly.
Whole Effluent Toxicity Testing
The facility currently performs Quarterly Acute Toxicity monitoring using Mysidopsis bahia
(Mysid shrimp) at 90% as required by the current permit. The facility has passed the previous 11
of 12 WET tests. WET testing should continue as Acute monitoring only with mysid shrimp at
90%. The WET testing language [A. (2.)] has been updated.
3003(d) language for Draft/Final Cover Letters: "Please note that the receiving stream is listed as
an impaired waterbody on the North Carolina 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".
Changes from the previous permit to draft:
• Updated outfall map
• Added regulatory citations
• Added parameter codes to effluent table in A(1)
• Expiration month changed to allow full 5-year permit cycle
• Added eDMR language in A(1) and added section A(5)
• Updated language on Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet per 2012 WTP guidance
• Moved pH limits from footnote to effluent table in A(1)
• Flow sample type changed from estimate to instantaneous and measurement frequency
changed to 2/month per 2009 WTP strategy since discharge is intermittent
• Limits added for copper and zinc based on RPA and monitoring changed to monthly
• Limits for lead removed since no RP to exceed water quality standards; monitoring
reduced to quarterly
• Sample type for all parameters except flow changed from grab to composite based on
feedback received from WiRO (see below)
o Compliance schedule added as well based on e-mail from WiRO (see comments
below)
• Footnote added to A(1) stating that composite sample should be made of equal volume
collected every 15 mins during recharge cycle per WiRO comments
• Changed TRC limit from just daily max to daily max and monthly average per 2009
WTP strategy
• Updated tox footnote in A(1) — removed "Monitoring for Toxicity shall coincide with
monitoring for metals and TRC."
• Updated TRC footnote
• Flow footnote added in A(1)
• Updated tox language in A(2)

Changes from draft to final:
• Hydrofluorosilicic acid has been defined to be for fluoride addition on supplement to
permit cover sheet (per permittee's comments below)
• Compliance schedule added as Section A. (4) for total copper and total zinc (per
permittee's and WiRO comments below)
• Discharge description updated on Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet and in Section A.
(1) (per permittee's comments below)
• Footnote concerning composite sampling has been moved to become Section A. (3) for
clarity (per WIRO comments below)
• TRC put back as a daily max limit in A(1); erroneously changed
• Monitoring for pH, turbidity, and TRC changed back to grab samples per 2009 WTP
strategy; mistakenly changed to composite with other parameters, but these require grab
sampling in order to be accurate (per 2009 WTP strategy)
PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE:
Draft Permit to Public Notice: November 1, 2017
Permit Scheduled to Issue: February 14, 2018
STATE CONTACT:
If you have any questions on any of the above information or on the attached permit, please contact
Brianna Young at [phone], or by email at [e-mail].
REGIONAL OFFICE COMMENT:
Per phone call (7/20/17) with Jim Gregson and Dean Hunkele in WiRO and John Hennessy and
Brianna Young in CO:
• Sample type for all parameters has been changed from grab to composite based on
feedback received from Frank Sansone (ORC) that he samples only during 1 st rinse cycle
of recharge cycle (process involves 20 min rinse, 50-55 min brine recharge, 20-30 min
rinse; Entire cycle totals —2 hrs)
• Compliance schedule of 2 months added to install composite sampler or have another
method approved by WiRO in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0503 (4) (per Jim
Gregson's e-mail 10/19/17)
Per e-mail from Dean Hunkele 10/27/17
• We just got the permit for the Laurel Rd WTP NCO086975 issued by Joe Corporon
whereby metal limits were given, but he gave them a permit cycle to figure out how to
meet them. Is that supposed to be in these as well?
o DWR Response: If concerns are raised about the facility meeting the new metals
limits, those concerns can be reviewed and the inclusion of a compliance schedule
in the final permit can be considered.

COMMENTS RECEIVED FROM PERMITTEE (VIA EMAII. 11 /3 0/ 17)
• The Town is amenable to the changes identified by the first six bullets with only three
comments; please see fifth bullet regarding Supplement to the Cover Sheet.
o Fifth bullet (from draft cover sheet): The Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet has
been updated per the current water treatment plant guidance.
o Permittee response: On Page 2 of 8, the component we are using for addition of
fluoride is Hydrofluorosilicic Acid.
■ DWR Response: Hydrofluorosilicic acid has been added to the
components list and defined to be for fluoride addition.
o Permittee response: On Page 2 of 8 and 3 of 8 we suggest the discharge
description be the same. On Page 2, one could state as "discharge of water
softener regeneration -backwash wastewater from Ion Exchange Units." On Page
3 one should delete the phrase "filter backwash and" and state as "discharge water
softener regeneration -backwash from Outfall 001."
■ WiRO comments (Dean Hunkele via email 12/7/17): I do not know
enough about their system to comment but seems reasonable to me. The
word "filter" has been present going back to at least the 2003 issuance and
was probably a carryover from a shell document or a permit for another
water permit they borrowed from.
■ DWR Response: The Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet has been
updated to state "water softener regeneration -backwash wastewater" and
Section A. (1) has been updated to remove "filter backwash and softener
regeneration backwash" and references only "backwash."
o Permittee response: On Page 2, Item 1 speaks of "a design potable flowrate of
0.60 MGD and a maximum, monthly average wastewater discharge of 0.0258
MGD". This number does not seem relevant to data covering the most recent 22
months which indicates an average daily flow of 0.0044 MGD and a maximum
monthly average of 0.0057 MGD. These numbers are dependent on a varying
data -set, and the permit does not include a flow limit. We would suggest deleting
the reference to maximum daily average wastewater discharge from "Supplement
to the Cover Sheet."
■ DWR response: The language used in the Supplement to Permit Cover
Sheet is standard language used in all water treatment plant NPDES
permits. The maximum monthly average referenced in the draft permit is
based on data in the Division's database from October 2016. Per the
Division's water treatment plant guidance, this language will remain in the
permit for consistency of water treatment plant NPDES permits across the
state.
• The Town is unsure of intent and has concern regarding the seventh bullet and twelfth
bullet (from draft cover sheet).
o Seventh bullet (from draft cover sheet): The flow sample type has been changed
to instantaneous and the measurement frequency changed to 2/month per the
current water treatment strategy.
o Twelfth bullet (from draft cover sheet): Footnote for flow has been added in
Section A. (1) concerning log books.
o Permittee response: Footnote 2 refers to Effluent Characteristic — "Flow" with
Sample Type — "Instantaneous" and Sample Location — "Effluent". The Town is
unsure of intent for changes to flow monitoring. All of the softener backwash -
regeneration flow into the softeners passes through a meter; all of the softener
backwash -regeneration flow exits the softeners as effluent; the effluent flows
reported on the DMRs are based on those meter readings for flow into the

•
softeners and subsequently out of the softeners to Outfall 001. The Town believes
its current method of measuring softener regeneration -backwash flow with the
meter in -place has an appropriate degree of accuracy and should be acceptable
without change.
o WiRO comments (Dean Hunkele via email 12/7/17): I have no idea where they
came up with limiting how flow can be measured or reported for any facility
unless continuous & recording is required. The old permit said "Estimate" which
I am guessing was based on the use of the meters but being an estimate wouldn't
require annual calibration. However, it could be calculated estimate as well based
on cycle time and pump rate. Instantaneous measurement typically requires a
weir and use of a staff gauge to measure water height to get a flow rate at that
instant, both of which they don't have and not sure how they would go about
it. Now I guess they could use the metered flow total for a single cycle and use
the cycle time to get at a calculated "instantaneous" flow value for that single
event if that is what permitting is looking for or just use the flow meters to give a
total for the 24-hr period.
o Permittee response to flow meter clarification request (via email 1/16/18): We
have spoken with Frank Sansone, Water ORC — Town of Beaufort; Frank
provided clarification by explaining that during softener backwash -regeneration
(recharge), all of the water used during softener backwash -regeneration
{recharge is measured by a meter. The brine solution used during softener
backwash -regeneration (recharge) is not measured by a meter. Frank utilizes
meter readings for water used during recharge to calculate the number of
recharge events and total softener backwash -regeneration flow from the water
treatment plant. The meter measuring water used for backwash and fast rinse is a
1 %2-inch turbine meter manufactured by Neptune/Trident.
o WiRO comments (Tom Tharrington phone call 2/1/18): Tom felt the meter they
have in place is appropriate for now to do instantaneous monitoring. DWR will
assume the meter is appropriate for now unless it is deemed inappropriate in the
future. The meters are usually very accurate when used with clean water, which
is why they can be used in WTPs but not WWTPs.
o DWR response: As discharge from the facility is intermittent, the sample type,
per the current water treatment plant strategy, should be defined as instantaneous.
After speaking with staff in the Wilmington Regional office, the flow meter in
place is acceptable.
All things considered, the Town has no immediate concern regarding the eighth bullet.
o Eighth bullet (from draft cover sheet): The limits for pH have been moved from
the footnotes to the effluent table in Section A. (1).
In regard to ninth bullet and the tenth bullet, the Town requests explanation regarding
addition of limits for Total Copper and Total Zinc.
o Ninth bullet (from draft cover sheet): Limits have been added for Total Copper
and Total Zinc in Section A. (1) based on a reasonable potential to exceed water
quality standards. Associated monitoring has been changed to monthly.
o Tenth bullet (from draft cover sheet): Limits have been removed from Total Lead
and monitoring has been reduced to quarterly in Section A. (1) as there is no
longer a reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards based on
submitted DMR data.
o Permittee response (paraphrased): The Town is opposed to monitoring and limits
for total copper, total lead, and total zinc. Request to know how analysis done to
determine a reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards and how
determination made for value of numerical limits. Town believes there is

•
sufficient data to support discontinuance of limits and monitoring for Total Lead
and Total Zinc. Town asks to do no more than monitor Total Copper, neither
monitor nor set limits for Total Zinc, and not monitor for Total Lead. Additional
information provided in written comments. Per permittee: "To continue sampling
and testing the softener regeneration -backwash discharge for metals that appear to
be present only at very low levels should not be a requirement of the permit
issued to the Town of Beaufort."
o DWR response: A compliance schedule has been added to the permit as Section
A. (4) for Total Copper and Total Zinc. Monitoring will remain for both
parameters with a measurement frequency of monthly. Please note that the
practical quantitation limit (PQL) for Total Copper is 2 µg/L and the PQL for
Total Zinc is 10 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 SA waters for
copper are 4.8 µg/L (acute) and 3.1 µg/L (chronic), and for zinc are 90 µg/L
(acute) and 81 µg/L (chronic). However, the High Quality Waters (HQW)
designation of the receiving stream decreases the limits of the water quality
standards. 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.
All things considered, the Town has no immediate concern regarding the eleventh,
thirteenth and fifteenth bullet
o Eleventh bullet (from draft cover sheet): The limit for Total Residual Chlorine in
Section A. (1) has been changed to both a daily maximum and monthly average.
o Thirteenth bullet (from draft cover sheet): Footnotes for total residual chlorine
and aquatic toxicity have been updated in Section A. (1).
o Fifteenth bullet (from draft cover sheet): Language in Section A. (2) has been
updated.
o Permittee response: We believe appropriate the footnote stating, "The Division
shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 PPB to be in compliance
with the permit."
Fourteenth bullet (from draft cover sheet):
o Fourteenth bullet (from draft cover sheet): The sampling type for all parameters,
except flow, have been changed from grab to composite in Section A. (1), and an
associated footnote has been added.
o Permittee response: Beaufort is requesting that it not be required to install a
composite sampler within two (2) months of the date of permit issuance. Instead
the Town would request twelve (12) months to utilize hand sampling as described
by draft while determining and evaluating "another method approved by
Wilmington Regional Office" as compared to installing a composite sampler. If
evaluation determines it best to install a composite sampler, time for planning and
design will be needed to ensure having a workable composite sampler for the
Glenda Drive WTP. It is not a simple plug -in -play exercise. [additional
information describing challenges provided in written comments]
o WiRO comments (Dean Hunkele via email 12/7/17): That whole Footnote is
confusing. Being an intermittent discharger, they could either use a sampler to
collect OR we can approvelaccept them creating their own composite via multiple
grabs of at least 120 mL at a frequency of every 15 mins or less for the enter cycle
including recharge. They just need to make sure they collect enough sample for

all the required analyses. We can assist them with the latter method and shouldn't
take but any longer than 2 months. I agree it may take a little more discussion or
thought to install a composite sampler and sampling location and may include
adding a take to comingle the waste streams for sampling.
o DWR response: Composite sampling will remain in the permit. The language
concerning this has been moved from the footnotes in Section A. (1) into the new
Section A. (3). The Division has determined that two (2) months from the permit
effective date is sufficient time to complete the requirement.

Subject: Comments received on Glenda Drive WTP (NCO072702)
Good afternoon,

In addition to the comments received for the Pine Street WTP, I have received similar comments from the Town of
Beaufort on the draft permit for Glenda Drive WTP (NC0072702). Below are a few requests they have made that I would
like WiRO feedback on. I have attached the comments in full to this email as well.
Description of discharge
The Town states: On Page 2 of 8 and 3 of 8 we suggest the discharge description be the same. On Page 2, one could
state as "discharge of water softener regeneration -backwash wastewater from Ion Exchange Units." On Page 3 one
should delete the phrase "filter backwash and" and state as "discharge water softener regeneration -backwash from
Outfall 001."
The permit currently refers to the discharge of "backwash wastewater from Ion Exchange units" on the Supplement to
Permit Cover Sheet and as "filter backwash and softener regeneration backwash" in Section A. (1). Does WiRO agree to
the changes proposed by the Town?
Instantaneous flow monitoring
The Town states: Footnote 2 refers to Effluent Characteristic — "Flow" with Sample Type — "Instantaneous" and Sample
Location — "Effluent". The Town is unsure of intent for changes to flow monitoring. All of the softener backwash -
regeneration flow into the softeners passes through a meter; all of the softener backwash -regeneration flow exits the
softeners as effluent; the effluent flows reported on the DMRs are based on those meter readings for flow into the
softeners and subsequently out of the softeners to Outfall 001. The Town believes its current method of measuring
softener regeneration -backwash flow with the meter in -place has an appropriate degree of accuracy and should be
acceptable without change.
Does WiRO agree the meter will suffice in instantaneous flow monitoring? Instantaneous monitoring is required for
intermittent flows per the current water treatment plant strategy.
Sampling change from grab to composite and compliance schedule
The Town states: Beaufort is requesting that it not be required to install a composite sampler within two (2) months of
the date of permit issuance. Instead the Town would request twelve (12) months to utilize hand sampling as described
by draft while determining and evaluating "another method approved by Wilmington Regional Office" as compared to
installing a composite sampler. If evaluation determines it best to install a composite sampler, time for planning and
design will be needed to ensure having a workable composite sampler for the Glenda Drive WTP. It is not a simple plug-
in -play exercise. [additional information describing challenges provided in written comments]
Per Jim's e-mail from October 191h, the facility was given a 2 month compliance schedule to install a composite sampler
or have another method approved by WiRO. Would Wilmington like to maintain the 2 month compliance schedule, or
allow more time?
Metals monitoring
The Town is opposed to limits and increased monitoring for Total Copper, and all monitoring for Total Lead and Total
Zinc. They provided various reasons as to their opposition (see attached written comments). As one way to address
their concerns, if WiRO agrees, I will propose a 5 year compliance schedule to allow time to meet the new copper and
zinc limits as they address meeting compliance; however, monitoring will remain at a monthly rate for copper and zinc,
and quarterly for lead.

Please let me know your thoughts or have any questions on the above matters.
Thanks!

Metals— I concur and think they should all be getting this. The Unit does need to find out what the lower detection
limits are for these metals and make sure the limit is not lower than that. I know the CFPUA has issues with their Copper
limit of 1.85 ug/L in light of the detection limit is 2.0 ug/L.
Let me know if I can help further.

Dear Ms. Young:
We received our copy of draft permit for the Town of Beaufort Glenda Drive WTP and cover letter
with fifteen bullets summarizing the changes proposed for the above -referenced NPDES Permit.
The subsequent review included input from Frank Sansone, WTP-ORC, Donovan Willis, Public
Utilities Director and our consulting engineer— Rivers & Associates. As we compare the current
permit to the draft permit in light of the capabilities of our existing WTP, we ask for consideration
of comments, suggestions and requests regarding the draft permit that follow:
The Town is amenable to the changes identified by the first six bullets with only three comments;
please see fifth bullet regarding Supplement to the Cover Sheet.

SEVENTH BULLET and TWELFTH BULLET — Footnote 2 refers to Effluent Characteristic — "Flow'
with Sample Type — "Instantaneous" and Sample Location — "Effluent". The Town is
unsure of intent for changes to flow monitoring. All of the softener backwash -
regeneration flow into the softeners passes through a meter; all of softener backwash -
regeneration flow exits the softeners as effluent; the effluent flows reported on the DMRs
are based on these meter readings for flow into the softeners and subsequently out of
the softeners to Outfall 001. The Town believes its current method of measuring softener
regeneration -backwash flow with the meter in -place has an appropriate degree of
accuracy and should be acceptable without change.
All things considered, the Town has no immediate concern regarding the eighth bullet.
In regard to ninth bullet and the tenth bullet, the Town requests explanation regarding addition
of limits for Total Copper and Total Zinc. How is the analysis done to determine a "reasonable
potential to exceed water quality standards", and how is determination made for value of
numerical limits? Monitoring and associated testing over the past five years provides insufficient
data to determine our capability to comply with the proposed limits for Total Copper. However,
we believe there is sufficient data to support discontinuance of monitoring and limits for Total
Lead and Total Zinc. In April 2010, all new well testing was performed on raw water from the
Castle Hayne Aquifer and produced by the Glenda Drive Well for use in Glenda Drive WTP.
Copper was "Not Detected', lead was "Not Detected" and zinc was "Not Detected"; all — copper,
lead and zinc were below the new well allowable limit(s). The Town's water treatment process
does not include chemical additives that would increase copper, lead or zinc concentrations from
that found in the raw water. We would ask to do no more than monitor Total Copper and neither
monitor, nor set limit for Total Zinc as mentioned in ninth bullet. Likewise, we would ask to not
to monitor for total lead as mentioned in the tenth bullet.

NINTH BULLET and TENTH BULLET — The water treatment plant operation Is unchanged and
records of monitoring over the past five years demonstrate that it might not be necessary
to continue sampling and testing at the current level or at a greater level than required
by the current permit. Enclosed are DMRs for the past 22 months, plus a Summary of
those DMRs covering four parameters shown by most recent test results. Specific
requests relevant to the DMRs and description of the water system with its Glenda Drive
WTP follow:
With softener regeneration -backwash discharge from the Glenda Drive WTP at a location
distant from Turner Creek being only an average of 4,400 GPD, the Town of Beaufort is
requesting it no longer be required to monitor the discharge for Total Zinc. The results of
prior monitoring shown by the enclosed DMR's demonstrate there might not be a
reasonable potential to regularly exceed water quality standards with a significant
quantity of this element.
COPPER: In regard to limits for copper, testing to -date has only been able to discern and
identify its quantity as less than 10 parts per billion, and the DMRs show that Total Copper
has consistently been less than 10 parts per billion with only four (4) of the 21 most recent
test results having Total Copper greater than ten parts per billion. Eighty-one percent of the
DMRs show Total Copper less than 10 parts per billion. Total Copper might be less than or
more than 1.85 PPB; we simply do not know at this time. However, we would not want
establishment of a limit that causes issuance of NOVs if testing shows this characteristic
greaterthan 1.85 PPB.
LEAD: The DMRs show that Total Lead has consistently been less than 10 parts per billion and
none (0) of the most recent 21 test results have Total Lead greater than 10 PPB.
ZINC: The DMRs show that Total Zinc has consistently been less than 10 parts per billion with
only five (5) of the 21 most recent test results having Total Zinc greater than ten parts per
billion. Four (4) of the test result numbers are 11, 14, 15, and 17. Twenty (20) of the 21
recent test results are far less than the proposed Monthly Average and Daily Maximum Limits.

One (1) of the DMR numbers is 123; relevant to all of the other numbers it could be
considered an out -lying extraneous data point.
SUMMARY: The Beaufort Water System including its Glenda Drive Water Treatment Plant
continues producing and delivering potable water meeting all required drinking water
standards. The stable Castle Hayne Aquifer continues to be the source of water; the water
conveyed from this aquifer to the water treatment plant only requires softening and
disinfection to become desirable potable -water that is enhanced by addition of fluoride.
To continue sampling and testing the softener regeneration -backwash discharge for
metals that appear to be present only at very low levels should not be a requirement of
the permit issued to the Town of Beaufort.
All things considered, the Town has no immediate concern regarding the eleventh, thirteenth
and fifteenth bullet.
ELEVENTH BULLET, THIRTEENTH BULLET and FIFTEENTH BULLET — We believe appropriate the
footnote stating, "The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50
PPB to be in compliance with the permit'.
The Town would prefer no -change from grab to composite sampling of the small discharge at the
Glenda Drive WTP. However, it understands position of the NPDES Unit and would ask for
assistance in making transition identified in the fourteenth bullet.
FOURTEENTH BULLET — Beaufort is requesting that it not be required install a composite
sampler within two (2) months of the date of permit issuance. Instead the Town would
request twelve (12) months to utilize hand sampling as described by draft while
determining and evaluating "another method approved by Wilmington Regional Office"
as compared to installing a composite sampler. If evaluation determines it best to install
a composite sampler, time for planning and design will be needed to ensure having a

workable composite sampler for the Glenda Drive WTP. It is not a simple plug -in -play
exercise.
The inherent nature of the three -step softener regeneration -backwash process, with each
step having potential of different flow rates, times and salinity(s) provides a challenge for
gathering a truly representative composite sample. Considering the physical limitations
of the Glenda Drive WTP, the details are a challenge. The sampler will need power and a
means of control, plus an appropriate location for taking the sample. The sample point
must be a sufficient distance downstream of de -chlorination and in the presence of
adequate flow to take samples. It will be necessary to create a sampling point and the
existing gravity flow line to daylight does not readily lend itself to taking samples.
The Town is understands the NPDES Unit requirement for taking a composite sample;
Beaufort is only requesting time to make appropriate choice for composite sampling that
works and provides a truly representative sample of the softener regeneration -backwash
wastewater discharge.
CLOSING COMMENT: The Town of Beaufort is serving approximately 4,000 people. These people
form a small base of 3,000 customers receiving potable water from the Glenda Drive WTP. We
ask that the NPDES Unit favorably consider the comments, suggestions, and requests being made
by the Town of Beaufort in regard to the NPDES Permit covering the small softener regeneration -
backwash discharge from the Glenda Drive WTP — part of the small water system providing
potable water to the public in the Town of Beaufort.

SUMMARY
The Beaufort Glenda Drive WTP is an Ion Exchange (Softener) Water Treatment Plant to treat
ground water drawn from two wells. The facility is designed to provide 0.60 MGD of treated
potable water. After softening, the water is treated by gaseous chlorination and hydrofluosilicic
acid. The backwash and softener regeneration wastewater is estimated to be 0.005 MGD average
at plant capacity of 0.6 MGD potable water. Recent operating data (April 2014 — May 2017)
show a maximum monthly average discharge flowrate of 0.0258 MGD. The facility discharges
the backwash wastewater after dichlorination with sodium bisulfite to an unnamed tributary to
Turner Creek in the White Oak River Basin. The discharge is to a dry ditch with no normal flow
except the discharge and storm water.
The receiving stream (Turner Creek) is classified SA, HQW PNA waters in the White Oak River
Basin. This reach is listed on the 2014 303(d) list — Shellfish growing area Conditionally
approved closed (Fecal, SH, SA) (see below).

Permitting Strategy
Permitting Strategy for Ion Exchange Water Treatment Plants is followed for this facility.
Discharge Data Review and RPA
The maximum Monthly Average flow was 0.025814 MGD in October 2016 (data from April
2014 to May 2017). RPA was performed for copper, zinc, and lead (data from October 2012 to
May 2017). Copper and Zinc have RP, limits added with monthly monitoring. Lead showed no
RP (no detects); monitoring retained as previous permit showed RP but reduced to quarterly.
Whole Effluent Toxicity Testing
The facility currently performs Quarterly Acute Toxicity monitoring using Mysidopsis bahia
(Mysid shrimp) at 90% as required by the current permit. The facility has passed the previous 11
of 12 WET tests. WET testing should continue as Acute monitoring only with mysid shrimp at
90%. The WET testing language [A. (2.)] has been updated.
303(d) language for Draft/Final Cover Letters: "Please note that the receiving stream is listed as
an impaired waterbody on the North Carolina 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".
Changes from the previous permit:
• Updated outfall map
• Added regulatory citations
• Added parameter codes to effluent table in A(1)
• Expiration month changed to allow full 5-year permit cycle
• Added eDMR language in A(1) and added section A(3)
• Updated language on Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet per 2012 WTP guidance
• Moved pH limits from footnote to effluent table in A(1)
• Flow sample type changed from estimate to instantaneous and measurement frequency
changed to 2/month per 2009 WTP strategy since discharge is intermittent
• Limits added for copper and zinc based on RPA and monitoring changed to monthly
• Limits for lead removed since no RP to exceed water quality standards; monitoring
reduced to quarterly
• Sample type for all parameters except flow changed from grab to composite based on
feedback received from WiRO (see below)
o Compliance schedule added as well based on e-mail from WiRO (see comments
below)
• Footnote added to A(1) stating that composite sample should be made of equal volume
collected every 15 mins during recharge cycle per WiRO comments
• Changed TRC limit from just daily max to daily max and monthly average per 2009
WTP strategy
• Updated tox footnote in A(1) — removed "Monitoring for Toxicity shall coincide with
monitoring for metals and TRC."
• Updated TRC footnote
• Flow footnote added in A(1)
• Updated tox language in A(2)

Hello Jim,
I am following up on the e-mail below concerning new composite sampling for two permits and whether a compliance
schedule is needed to allow time for installation of a sampler, or if WiRO would be willing to work with each facility on a
sampling procedure that would constitute composite sampling. If possible, I would like to submit these permits to public
notice on November 11t. Dean, I did not realize I accidentally left you off of the previous e-mail. I apologize. If either of
you could provide guidance on this, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,

Good afternoon Jim and Dean,
I am currently working on the renewal for the Pine Street WTP (NC0072699) and Glenda Drive WTP (NC0072702) in
Carteret County. For these permit renewals, sampling is being changed from grab to composite for all parameters other
than flow based on a previous phone call between you, Dean, John, and myself. This is the first time composite
sampling is being required for these permits. Do you believe a compliance schedule should be added to the draft permit
to allow the permittee time to install a sampler? If so, what language or timeline would you like to see in the draft
permit?
Thanks,
Brianna

Importance: High
Good afternoon Mr. Sansone,
The Division has reviewed your application for the subject permit. To enable us to complete our review in accordance
with N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 and 15A NCAC 2H.0105, please provide additional or revised information to address the
following comments:
Please provide lab data sheets for the following months:
2013 — February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October
2014 — January, February, March, April, May, July, August
In reviewing the DMR data for the Glenda Drive WTP, the values reported for Copper, Lead, and Zinc are reported as
both ug/I and mg/I. For example, DMR data for Zinc in January 2013 reports <10 ug/I and February 2013 reports <10
mg/I. If these values have been reported in error, please submit revised DMRs to the Division.
In addition, please provide an accurate schematic of the Glenda Drive WTP. This schematic should contain the locations
of all sampling points, provide the flow of water through the facility (from raw water intake to the outfall and
distribution system), the locations of where chlorine, hydrofluosilic acid, and sodium bisulfite are added to the water
during treatment, and where the water used for backwash comes from.
Please provide this information within 60 calendar days [per 15A NCAC 2H .0107(b)]. Please let me know if you have any
questions concerning this request.
Thank you,

RE: NCO072699 Pine St WTP Renewal
Importance: High
The water treatment consists of 3 processes to make it into potable water and I think they are sequential for each
processing cycle. Each process has a backwash or dirty discharge out the same outfall pipe that is not placed into a pond
or tank to comingle or composite itself so it can be sampled altogether. They are only sampling the waste stream from
one of these processes for both monthly and toxicity purposes; Frank admitted the brine recharge is being overlooked
so not to fail toxicity and perhaps other thing. Glenda Drive NCO072702 is being done exactly the same.
So the question is should each process have its own Outfall in the permit for reporting as a grab and what one should
have the toxicity assigned to it or do they need to composite all 3 processes?
This is somewhat related to the West Carteret WTP NCO077143 that supposedly has composite sampling requirement
yet they have 3 distinct processing discharges on differing schedules between daily/weekly/monthly that has been
questioned about how do you composite it and ensure we are seeing the key results from the key process of concern. I
am not sure what dictates if composite or grab for these, do you know?
Most WTP's fail toxicity and the thought is that the ones that don't or only periodically is due to sampling protocol; this
is what Julie G and some of us were looking at several years ago. Most of the ones I am familiar have a common tank,
pond, or series of ponds this all goes to be mixed that is sampled from. I am just not that knowledgeable about WTPs.

The goal of the Fast Track sewer permit program is to issue a permit in no more than 30 business days from receipt of a complete application and if
no additional information has to be requested upon full review. Please use the Department's Permit Application Tracker to determine the official
application receipt date to allow you to estimate a date for Issuance and find the reviewer's name. Once issued, the record stays on the site for 30
days.
For previously issued sewer permit info or to check on sewer certification receipt status, please use the Division's Sewer Extension Permit
Tracker. Using the Issue Date on top of the Engineer Certification Form is best way to ensure getting what you want especially for multi -version

permits; using today's date only gives info on the latest permit version. Confirmation using this method will replace letters and emoils: it is
recommended that confirmation be Printed and/or saved.

Dean,
I am currently working on the renewal for the Pine Street WTP (NC0072699), and after reviewing the staff report you
provided, I had a question. You mentioned that there are 3 processes that result in a discharge but only one is being
sampled. Do you mean that there are 3 outfalls, and only one is being currently sampled? Or is sampling occurring at
only one process prior to the discharges of all processes combining and going to the outfall? Any guidance is much
appreciated.
Thanks,
Brianna

I just got your Add -Info letter for Pine Street and looks like it is sort of related to this.
They didn't start using a-DMR until November and no telling if data processing would have caught and changed their
reported UoM on previous submittals versus what BIMS was populating. The primary ORC Frank was out in Nov & some
of December and doesn't look like UoM were changed in 12-2016 from what BIMS was populating if they did indeed
measure in ug/L.
This has always a problem on parameter monitoring with no limits, the Permitee had no idea what uoM we were looking
for as it wasn't indicated in the tables. Same went for the codes not being provided and some using expired or wrong
codes.

The goal of the Fast Track sewer permit program is to Issue a permit in no more than 30 business days from receipt of a complete application and if
no additional information has to be requested upon full review. Please use the Departments Permit Application Tracker to determine the official
application receipt date to allow you to estimate a date for Issuance and find the reviewer's name. Once issued, the record stays on the site for 30
days.
For previously issued sewer permit info or to check on sewer certification receipt status, please use the Division's Sewer Extension Permit
Tracker. Using the Issue Date on top of the Engineer Certification Form is best way to ensure getting what you want especially for multi -version
permits; using today's date only gives info on the latest permit version. Confirmation using this method will replace letters and emoils: it is
recommended that confirmation be printed and/or saved.

Subject: UoMs for metals at NCO072702 and NCO072699
Importance: High
Brianna,
Currently, these permits have different UoMs for the metals and they are having them both analyzed in ug/L. However,
Pine St NCO072699 is being populated in mg/L every month in a-DMR because that is how BIMS is set up and they would
like them to be the same.
Is there any reason they would be different other than Glenda has a Lead limit in ug/L? If not, can we get Charles to
change current permit for Pine St to ug/L and have both renewals issued in ug/L?
Thanks
