Boa 1583 Goldsboro, North Carolina 27533 Dear Mr. Coltrain: Michael F. Easley Governor William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality September 8, 2003 Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO086918 Rockford Church Road WTP Wayne County Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached 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 May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended). This final permit includes one major change from the draft permit sent to you on July 16, 2003: ➢ The monitoring frequencies for Total Nitrogen (TN), TN components and Total Phosphorus have been reduced to semi-annually, based on your request dated August 18, 2003. • This reduction in sampling frequency makes it imperative that representative samples are collected. Collect the TN and TP samples on days when flow is monitored. • Data from the semi-annual samples will be used to calculate the TN load for the facility. The Permittee should maintain accurate estimates of the total discharge each month (total monthly flow, or TMF). The TMF values will be multiplied by the TN values for the semi-annual samples to calculate a TN load for the facility. This permit includes a TRC limit that will take effect on April 1. 2005. If you wish to install dechlorination equipment, the Division has promulgated a simplified approval process for such projects. Guidance for approval of dechlorination projects is attached. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit ire unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjur icatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required. If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Charles Weaver at (919) 733-5083, extension 511. Sincerely, ORIGINAL SIGNED BY Tom RR pick Arn �(/.

(1) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REgUIREMENTS During the period beginning on the effective date of this permit and lasting until expiration. the Pcrmittee is authorized to discharge filter backwash from outfall 001. Such discharges shall be limited and monitored by the Permittee as specified below: EFFLUENT CHARACTERISTIC_ S LIMITS MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Monthly Average Daily Maximum Measurement Frequency_ Sample Type Sample Locations Flow Weekly Estimate Effluent Total Suspended Solids 30.0 mg/L 45.0 mg/L 2/Month Grab Effluent Settleable Solids 0.1 mYL 0.2 ml/L Weekly Grab Effluent Iron Weekly Grab Effluent Total Residual Chlorine2 17 #g/L Weekly Grab Effluent Turbidity3 Weekly Grab Upstream & Downstream Total Monthly Flow 4 Monitor & Report milliongallons/month) Monthly Calculated Effluent Total Nitrogen (TN) 4 Monitor & Report (mg/L) Semi-annually Grab Effluent Nitrate/Nitrite Nitrogen° (NO2 + NO3) Monitor & Report (mg/L) Semi-annually Grab Effluent Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN)4 Monitor & Report (mg/L) Semi-annually Grab Effluent TN load (pounds/month) 4 Monitor & Report (pounds per month Monthly Calculated Effluent TN load (pounds/year) ° Monitor & Report (pounds per ear) Annually Calculated Effluent Total Phosphorus Monitor & Report (mg/L) Semi-annually Grab Effluent Footnotes: 1. Upstream = at least 50 feet upstream from the outfall. Downstream = at least 50 feet downstream from the outfall. 2. Limit takes effect April 1, 2005. Limits and monitoring apply only if chlorinated water is used to backwash filters. 3. The discharge from this facility shall not cause turbidity in the receiving stream to exceed 50 NTU. If the instream turbidity exceeds 50 NTU due to natural background conditions, the discharge cannot cause turbidity to increase in the receiving stream. 4. See A. (2) for Total Nitrogen monitoring and reporting requirements. 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. Permit NC008691,8 , 11 A. (2) CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN LOADS a. The Permittee shall calculate monthly and annual TN Loads as follows: i. Monthly TN Load (pounds/month) = TN x TMF x 8.34 where: TN TN concentration (mg/L) of the sample collected during the semi-annual monitoring event. Use the TN value for the month in which the sample was taken and successive months until another TN sample is collected. TMF = Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the month (MG/month). If all discharges are not recorded at the facility, document the calculation(s) used to determine total monthly flow. 8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds ii. Annual TN Load (pounds/year) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN Loads for the calendar year b. The Permittee shall report the semi-annual Total Nitrogen results in the discharge monitoring report (DMR) for that month. The calculated pounds of TN load per month will be reported on each month's DMR. The Permittee shall report each year's annual results (pounds per year) on the December DMR. astern Wayne Sanitary District IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIII P.o.eo=1sa7 • rowsbo .

Numerous wells are in the area with a history of data indicating low nitrogen levels (see attached sample reports). There are no additives involving nitrogen in the water treatment process. A polyphosphate is added in the treatment process (maintained less than 1 mg/l) and is monitored daily with field test kits. A written record of phosphate levels is maintained by the Sanitary District. Inasmuch as nitrogen is present only at low background levels it is recommended the frequency be revised to once per year. More frequent monitoring of phosphorous maybe justified due to the addition of phosphate in the treatment process; however, semi-annual sampling of phosphorous is believed adequate since daily sampling and records are maintained for the addition of phosphate. Your consideration and approval of this request will be appreciated. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
