CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 2.2 %. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, uarterl monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Cet odaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of February, May, August and November. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Page 5 Permit No. NCO086550 Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Branch 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. 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 Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement 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, minimum control organism reproduction, 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. A. (4.) MERCURY REOPENER The Division may reopen this permit to require mercury load limitations, mercury minimization plans, and/or source water characterization following completion of the Phase 2 Mercury TMDL for the Lumber and Waccamaw River watersheds.

This is a recently built facility that started service in 2002. The facility has a capacity of 1.75 MGD and consists of a mechanical bar screen, grit chamber, influent pump station, dual aeration basins, secondary and tertiary clarifiers, gravity thickener, aerobic digesters, chlorination, dechlorination and cascade aerator. They received sanitary wastewater from Orrum Middle School and have plans to tie in several schools and smaller municipalities in the area. Pre -Treatment: The Town does not have a pretreatment program. Before any industrial flow is accepted the Town shall developed and implement a pretreatment program. Receiving Stream: The Lumber River is listed as impaired for mercury. A Phase I TMDL was approved by EPA in October 2001. NPDES facilities will collect mercury data to assist in the Phase II mercury TMDL development. The Lumber River is classified as excellent for benthic microinvertebrates upstream of the discharge. The River will be monitored for mercury fish tissue concentrations as part of the Phase I TMDL. DMR Review: The facility commenced the discharge in June 2002. Data was reviewed for the period of June 2002 to April 2004. Average flow was 0.501 MGD, BOD averaged 3 mg/l and TSS averaged 4.5 mg/1. The facility has met all effluent limitations thus far. Effluent Toxicity: The permit requires quarterly Chronic Toxicity Testing (Ceriodaphnia) at an effluent concentration of 2.2 %. They have passed all the toxicity tests since June 2002. Fact Sheet NPDES NCO086550 Renewal Page 1 Priority Pollutant Scan: Results of three PPAs were submitted with the application for renewal. The tests were conducted on three consecutive days in January 2004. The following parameters were detected: Total Phenolics (20.76 µg/1), Chloroform (8.07 µg/l), Copper (5 µg/1), and Cyanide (7 µg/1). The Division has established an acceptable detection level for cyanide of 10 µg/l, samples with detections below 10 µg/l are considered as < 10µg/l. Zinc was detected above the action level standard of 50 µg/l (145 µg/l, 137 µg/1 & 155 µg/1). Copper was detected just below the action level standard of 7 µg/l. Monitoring for Total Zinc and Total Copper will be included in the permit. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES Permit Condition Proposed Changes Comments Ammonia weekly Average limit of 40 CFR 122 Federal requirements and Division 12 mg/l Policy require weekly limits for ammonia. Mercury Quarterly monitoring Mercury Permitting Strategy for the Lumber River Basin. Zinc Quarterly monitoring Zinc was detected in the PPA in amounts greater than the action level standard. Copper Quarterly monitoring Monitoring is included to collect data to evaluate reasonable potential. Conductivity Eliminate effluent and Facilities discharging only domestic wastewater do instream monitoring not need to monitor for conductivity.

Since the facility came online June 10 startup and operational conditions have stabilized and compliance is looking good. There still remain a few warranty items that the Town, Engineers and Contractors are hammering out. I am unaware of any complaints regarding the new outfall even with the low flow conditions of the Lumber River this past summer. (Typically new discharges bring new complaints, even when the facility is in compliance.) As you know there was much talk about additional flows being routed to the new WWTP during the permitting phase. In a discussion with Ben Hill, Town Manager, today he indicated the following: The Town of Proctorville will be tying on soon that will add an additional 30,000 gpd. The community of Orrum will be tying on hopefully by February 2003 (no flow given but less than Proctorville ) The community of Bordman will be the first phase of a three phase project that will be tying on with a flow of 20,000 gpd. Phase II will be Cerro Gordo which will contribute 20,000 gpd and Phase III will be the Town of Fairbluff which will contribute +/- 100,000 gpd. Other updates will be forwarded as information is received. Thanks Paul R.
