Dee Freeman
Secretary
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 October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended).
Summary of Chances in Renewal Permit from Existing Permit
1) Settleable solids and a# turbidity requirements were removed from this permit. Current guidelines
focus on other significant parameters. By definition you cannot discharge a visibly turbid waste
stream.
2) A permitted flow compliance limit of 0.085 MGD based on the monthly average was added to this
permit. A WTP is required to have a permitted flow limit.
3) Total iron monitoring was reduced to monthly in this permit. Current guidelines require monthly
monitoring of iron as a parameter of concern.
4) Aluminum monitoring was reduced to quarterly in this permit. Current guidelines require quarterly
monitoring of aluminum as a parameter of concern to compare to the toxicity test.
5) A pH compliance range of not more than 9. 0 S• U nor less than 6.0 5. U. was added to this permit
with 2/Month monitoring. Current guidelines require compliance of pH for freshwater water quality
standards.
6) Copper monitoring on a monthly frequency was added to this permit. Current guidelines require
monthly monitoring of copper as a parameter of concern.
7) Calcium, magnesium, manganese, total phosphorus and total nitrogen monitoring on a quarterly
frequency were added to this permit. Current guidelines require quarterly monitoring of calcium,
magnesium, manganese, total phosphorus, and total nitrogen as parameters of concern to compare
to toxicity test.

8) Chronic toxicity monitoring on a quarterly frequency has been added to this permit. Current
guidelines require quarterly monitoring of effluent toxicity using a chronic test matching the
effluent concentration in the receiving stream. All listed parameters must be measured during the
toxicity test event to allow further evaluation.
9) A narrative edit was made to the TRC footnote in this permit. The narrative clarifies the definition
for chlorine compounds and the required measurement protocol and reporting.
10)A Special Condition Nutrient Reduction was revised in this permit. The narrative was edited to
include the current text.
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 150E 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 permits that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Ron Berry at telephone number

A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY MONITORING (QRTRLY)
The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent
versions.
The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 90 %. The testing shall
be performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia7day pass/fail test. The tests will be performed during the months
of Januray, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing 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
TGP38. Additionally, DWQ form AT-1(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, N.C. 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 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 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 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.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT
Forms submitted.
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.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
Annual Averaee
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Il ass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which
is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the neat day. However, for purposes of this pemrit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart
during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.

NPDES Permit Requirements
Page 2 of 16
In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems
having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at
intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEM or "the Division"
Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC
1251, et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found
each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of
pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the
tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge' is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each
day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is defined as "Annual Average' in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples
collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This
limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily
Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in
the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples
collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the
geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is
identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of
dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a
calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is
considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily
average" in the text of Part I.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March,
April through June, July through September, and October through December.

monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the
calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when
both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs
continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for
infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Tvnes of Samples
a.• Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge
and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow
recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at
no greater than 1 /24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of
greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals
evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time
of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent
grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a
24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual
values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the
individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is
equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values.
For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one
(1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration
times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — Permit No. NC0002852
Town of Franklinton Water Treatment Plant
Franklin County
Dear Mr. Carver:
On October 28, 2010, staff from the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of
the Town of Franklinton Water Treatment Plant. The assistance and cooperation of Mr. Frank Efrid and Mr.
Richard Hinkle was very helpful and appreciated during the inspection process. This facility was found to be in
compliance with permit NC0002852 at the time of the inspection.
1. The current NPDES Permit became effective October I, 2009 and expires September 30, 2014.
2. The Plant was configured as per the permit. Frank Efrid is the ORC and has a Grade I Physical &
Chemical certification and a Biological Spray & Land Application certification. Richard Hinkle is
the back-up ORC and has a Grade I Physical & Chemical certification.
3. All logs and documentation was consistent and up to date.
4, Tritest does all the analyticals. The ORC and back-up operator does the sampling.
5. December, 2009 DMR was missing from the facilities files. As per ORC, the report was misplaced.
Attached is copy of December, 2009 DMR for your files.
1. Wastewater Treatment Plant site inspection:
Raw water is pumped from the pond to the mixer to introduce alum to aid in settling. Flow later
goes to two flocculation basin then to two settling basins. Sludge from settling basins and filter
backwash water goes onward to wash water basins. The alum sludge from wash water basins goes
onward to solids concentrator. After concentrator the sludge is stored in sludge holding tank until
ready to be hauled to land application disposal site. Supernatant backwash is discharge from wash
water tank to receiving stream.
2. Sludge is hauled by Granville Farms to land application site.
3. Generators are tested weekly and tested under load once a month.

To Whom It May Concern:
The Town of Franklinton Water Treatment Plant sludge handling procedure is basically a
simple operation. Filtered backwash and basin wash water (settled sludge) is sent to a
holding tank. The sludge is then pumped to a concentrator that thickens it and drains it
into a truck loading holding tank. Once the supernatant separates from the sludge the
clean water is sent by gravity to Taylor Creek. Periodically the sludge is removed and
hauled by Granville Farms for land applying on permitted farms.

WTP sludge production
- Granville Farms hauled approximately 322,000 gallons in 2007
- Estimated design sludge production calculations
Filters (backwash each every 96 hours)
60,000-gal per filter x 2 filters @ 0.05%, every 4 days = 10,950,000 gal/year
@ 4% filter waste = 136,875 gal/year
Sedimentation Basins (vacuum each basin once per day)
10,000-gal per basin x 2 basins @ 0.1% per day= 7,300.000 gal/year
@ 4% filter waste = 182,500 gal/year
Total Estimated Sludge Production
136,875 gal/year + 182,500 gal/year= 319,375 gal/year

- Temporary holding in 200,000-gal wash water tank
- One 60,000-gal thickened sludge holding tank
• Process narrative
- Raw water from ponds is pumped to flash mixer, then flows to flocculation
basins, flows to sedi�nn hasinc where solids settle and bottom vacuums
collect transfer sludce to the wash water tank. Backwash water from filters is
also transferred to wash water tank, from which thin alum sludge is pumped to
theAfter concentration, thickened sludge is stored in
sludoe holdin�tepli until ready to be pumped to trucks for hauling to land
application disposal site.

Alum Sludge Collection, Thickening and Disposal
Background
The existing alum sludge disposal method is by permitted discharge of supemated
clearwaters and land application of the residual solids. The pre-1960's old deteriorated
abandoned water plant clearwell has been utilized to hold the wastewaters and sludges.
A more operable system has been installed including a solids concentrator -clarifier,
modifications to the existing washwater tank, the installation of a sludge holdine basin.
and a truck loading Humming station.
Waste Sludge Volumes
The sedimentation basin mechanical sludge withdrawal devices are expected to
travel across the basin floor once per day and withdraw approximately 20,000 gpd of
alum sludge with an average concentration of less than 0.1 % solids. Filters are
backwashed approximately once per 4 days and the volume wasted per filter backwash is
expected to be 60,000 gallons at a concentration less than 0.05% solids.
Filter backwash in the amount of 120,000 gallons for the two filters plus daily
sludge withdrawal volumes in the amount of 20,000 gpd must be processed through the
washwater holding tank.

W ashwater Tank
The existing)washwater tank has a capacity of approximately 200,000 gallons,
Supernate drawoff telescopic valves have been added to decant clear liquids and 200 gpm
duplex pumps have been added to transfer the thin alum sludge to a solids concentrator.
The telescopic valves are utilized to drawoff and discharge clear supernate
thereby reducing the volume of wastewaters that must be processed through the sludge
thickening system.
The solids concentrator feed pumps can transfer 250 gpm. Based upon a twelve
hour per day of operation these pumps could process over 180,000 gpd through the solids
concentrator. This exceeds the potential 80,000 gpd inflow when a filter is backwashed
and the basin collectors make one pass across the basins.
�J
Solids Concentrator
The solids concentrator is a package type with high rate tube settlers and a
thickenefludgP rnitectinn cone- This device will quickly thicken the alum sludge to
approximately 4% solids. At a through rate of 200 gpm sludge volumes of 0.1 % solids
could quickly be 4% solids thereby reducing a typical filter baskwash day volume of
80,000 gallons to 2,000 gallons.
Sludge Holding and Truck Loading
A 60 00 Fallon thickened slge hnldin¢ basin and 500 gpm truck loading
pumps have also been installed. The volume of the sludge holding tank can provide in
excess of 30 days sludge storage at a concentration of 4% and combined with the

washwater basin can provide in excess of 100 days sludge storage and still provide
volume to process daily sedimentation basin drawoffs and filter backwashes.
The truck loading feed pumps can transfer 500 gpm. Based upon a 6,000 gallon
tanker size, a truck could be filled in 12 minutes and ten truck loads could completely
empty the holding tank in a single day.

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
NPDES Wastewater Permit NC0002852
Town of Franklinton Water Treatment Plant
Franklin County
Dear Mr. Carver:
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
I, Dave Parnell of the Raleigh Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality, performed a
wastewater Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI) of the Town of Franklinton's Water
Treatment Plant, on December 12, 2008. The assistance and cooperation of Richard Hinkle,
Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) was helpful and appreciated. The inspection checklist is
enclosed for your review. During the inspection the following items were noted:
SITE SUMMARY
Sludge from the water treatment plant receives treatment from a clarifier and concentrator.
Treated wastewater is discharged into Taylor's Creek, a water supply IV (WS-IV), nutrient -
sensitive waters (NSW), in the Tar -Pamlico River Basin. The sludge is removed by Granville
Farms and land applied.
INSPECTION SUMMARY
Mr. Hinkle has done a good job of operating this facility after taking over about two
years ago.
2. The entire system was inspected. The plant appeared to be clean and well maintained.
The site was well secured. No operational/maintenance issues were noted. All plant
components were operational. The visitation log was not available. This log is to be kept
in a separate binder with sign in and out dates and times of visitors to the facility.
3. There was no effluent at the time of the inspection. The plant discharges to a rip -rap
lined ditch, which flows to Taylor's Creek. The receiving stream appeared healthy and
showed no adverse conditions. The rip -rap lined ditch is in need of maintenance,
however, to avoid erosion during rain events, when wastewater is combined with
stormwater leaving the site.

4. Discharge monitoring reports (DMR) were reviewed and compared to in-house and
commercial lab reports. No mistakes or inconsistencies were noted. Chains of custody
were complete and kept on file as required.
In conclusion, there were no violations of your permit noted during the inspection of your
facility. The absence of a visitation log and the need for maintenance to the rip -rap discharge
ditch, were pointed out to Mr. Hinkle. Please continue to be diligent in your efforts to meet
the requirements of your permit. If you have any questions regarding the inspection report,
please contact me at 919 791-4200 or by email at [e-mail].

Dear Ms. Gamer,
1. I conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the Town of Franklinton's water treatment plant
(WTP) on 26 July 2007. The cooperation and assistance of Mr. Richard Hinkle, operator in
responsible charge (ORC) was greatly appreciated. Inspection findings are summarized below and an
inspection checklist is attached for your records.
2. Franklinton's WTP discharges to receiving waters known as Taylor's Creek, which is currently
classified as a water supply IV (WS-IV), nutrient sensitive water (NSW), in the Tar Pamlico river
basin.
3. The plant was clean and well maintained. No operational/maintenance issues were noted. Visitation
and operations logs were reviewed and found to be complete and satisfactory. All plant components
were operational.
4. There was no effluent at the time of the inspection. The plant discharges into a riprap lined ditch that
flows into Taylor's Creek. The receiving stream appeared healthy and showed no adverse conditions.
The right-of-way to the outfall was sufficiently maintained.
5. Discharge monitoring reports (DMR) were reviewed and compared to in-house and commercial lab
reports. No mistakes or inconsistencies were noted. Chains of custody were complete and kept on
file as required. Your lab field parameter certification expires 31 December 2007.
6. Sludge at the facility is run through a clarifier and a concentrator. The sludge is removed by
Granville Farms and land applied.
7. Our records indicate that Mr. Hinkle is the ORC and Mr. Allen Ray is the backup ORC. According
to Mr. Hinkle this is incorrect and he sent paperwork in approximately 2 weeks prior to the inspection
to update the information. The division will update the information as soon as the form that Mr.
Hinkle submitted is received.

Dear Permittee:
The purpose of this letter is to call your attention to problems with the recent submittal of the Discharge
Monitoring Report (DMR) from your facility. As you may know, the data recorded on your DMR is keyed
into the Division's database. Our data entry staff has informed me of problems with your recent DMR
submittal. Until these problems have been corrected, your DMR will be considered incomplete. Please
see the attached form along with a copy of the problem DMR for details regarding the DMR's deficiency.
Incomplete or illegible DMRs affect our staffs ability to provide a timely and effective evaluation of DMR
submittals. Please be aware that until the Division receives a corrected DMR, you may be considered
noncompliant with your NPDES permit and 15A NCAC 02B .0506, and you may be subject to further
enforcement action. Please take the necessary steps to correct the problems and submit two copies of the
amended DMR within fifteen (15) days of the date of this letter to the following address:

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Town of Franklinton WTP
NPDES Permit No: NC0002852
Franklin County
Dear Ms. Garner:
On February 20, 2006, Mr. Chad Coburn, Ms. Vicki Webb, and Mr. Mack Wiggins of the Raleigh
Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the Franklinton Water
Treatment Plant. Mr. Allen Ray and Mr. Shaun Fields represented the Town of Franklinton during
the inspection. Their help and assistance during the inspection was appreciated. Findings during
the inspection are as follows:
1. DMR's for the months of March, April, and May 2006, should be resubmitted to our
Division, showing no discharge for the weeks when the facility was under
construction, and with the correct parameter codes.
2. A review of the previous years DMR's was conducted and several issues were raised
during the inspection.
Ashley Roberson signed the DMR's as the permittee from October 2005, until
April 2006. There was no authorization for this signature found in the Me.
The test parameter code for Total Aluminum was stated incorrectly on the
DMR's for March, April, and May of 2006. The code for the Dissolved
Selenium test (01145) was given instead of the correct code (01105). This
problem was noted previously in the file in a Notice of Incomplete Discharge
Monitoring Report from Michele Phillips of our Division, dated February 14,
2006.
No monitoring was performed for Total Aluminum, Total Residual Chlorine,
Flow, Total Iron, and Settleable Solids during the weeks of 03/18/06, 03/25/06,
and 05106106. It was confirmed during the inspection, and with the Public Water
Supply Section, that the plant was not discharging during those weeks because of
construction. The Kerr Lake Regional Water Plant supplied water to the Town
during those weeks.
3. As mentioned in previous inspections, public sewer is located approximately 200 yards
from the point of discharge of the facility. This was noted in the permit review during the
renewal process. Please respond to our office and provide any details on
considerations the Town has made in eliminating this discharge source and tying it
into public sewer.

4. Plant staff take samples from the settling basin supernatant to use as effluent samples for
the discharge monitoring reports (DMR's). The treated wasted water is discharged by
allowing it to flow into a pipe from the settling basin and then into a concrete lined ditch
and then into Taylor Creek. Effluent samples should be taken from the point of
discharge to the concrete ditch and not from the settling basin. No solids were
observed at the point of discharge in Taylor Creek during the inspection, and the
supernatant in the basin was clear and free of solids as well.
5. Wastewater generated at this facility is primarily made up of filter backwash water. Alum
is used to settle out solid materials from the water, and the resulting sludge is collected on
the bottom of the settling basin and pumped out by a septic hauler and taken to Granville
Fames for disposal.
6. Upstream samples are taken from the reservoir used to store the raw intake water from
Taylor Creek. Downstream samples are taken at the required distance downstream of the
point of discharge.
7. The facility performs analytical analysis on site for pH, residual chlorine, and Settleable
solids. Other required tests are sent off site to Tritest Labs for analysis. Records indicate
that the facilities laboratory certification was renewed in December of 2005, and expires
December 31, 2006. The facility has a copy of the current NPDES permit on file, along
with chains of custody, Tritest analytical results, and calibration logs.
If you have any questions concerning this inspection report, please contact Mr. Chad Coburn, Mr.
Mack Wiggins, or Ms. Vicki Webb at 919-791-4200. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report
for additional observations and comments.
Sincerely,

(Design Calculations) Regarding the truck loading pumps in the Summary of Design
document, the total dynamic head was shown as 24.17 feet, which matches the figure shown
for the available atmospheric head under the "basin full headloss" column (24.2 feet).
Shouldn't the total dynamic head actually be 36.2 feet, which is shown for a 400 GPM flow
in the previous column ("basin low flow headloss")? Note that the low flow column was
used correctly in the previous calculations for the solid concentrator feed pumps. If the
TDH should actually be 36.2 feet, would this necessitate any changes in the plans or
specifications?
2. (Design Calculations) Since both sets of proposed pumps are pumping a more viscous fluid
(alum sludge), should this fact be accounted for in the headloss calculations?
3. (Engineering Drawings Sheet No. 16) The volume of the solids concentrator tank, using a
two -foot freeboard, was calculated to be less than 6000 gallons. Is this volume sufficient?
4. (Sheet No. 16) The solids concentrator shows a 10-inch effluent pipe with an 8-inch
supernatant drainpipe. Should there be a 10 to 8-inch reducer?
5. If the water treatment facility needs to be shut down during construction of this project.
Please provide a detailed sequence of construction to show the steps a contractor must take.
Please make it clear that the contractor is not responsible for operating the facilities.

I visited the Franklinton Water Plant on October 26, 2004, have reviewed the ATC
plans and specs, and have the following comments:
1. The solids concentrator on drawing sheet 16 shows a 10-inch effluent pipe with
an 8-inch supernate drain pipe, but no 10 to 8 inch reducer.
2. There is no spill containment area around the sludge loading facility.
3. We have not commented on Method and Sequence for Construction because it has
not been included in the Engineer's information. I would push extremely hard for
this information as the facility will need to be shut down at times during
construction.
This review was limited strictly to the washwater discharge aspect of the project,
and provides no comment on the water treatment side of the work. The NPDES permit
for wastewater discharge is currently under review for renewal.
Please call me if you have any questions.

Dear Mr. Schuster,
I have enclosed the requested information pertaining to Mr. Langley's visit on May 13,
2004. The staff at the water plant performs several analyses including pH, turbidity,
residual chlorine, alkalinity and etc., on the potable water we treat. We were also
performing these same test on the discharge from our holding basin. However Mr.
Langley informed me that we had to be certified by the Division of Water Quality to
perform these field analyses. I have contacted Edith Henderson with DWQ Laboratory
Section in regards to this matter. She has sent the water plant an application package
containing the information needed for field analyses certification. We are in the process
of filling out the application. We will be using Tritest for testing until we are certified.
The Town Board has recently confirmed their acceptance of a PWS loan offer. Our
engineers will be submitting plans with alum sludge facilities improvements to DWQ for
review and approval. At this time nor in the near future we do not plan to eliminate our
decant discharge. It would be too costly for the water plant to connect to the sewer
system. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concerns and I
will be happy to assist in any way possible.
Thank you,

B. DESCRIPTION OF FACILITIES AND WASTES) (renewals and modifications only)
1. Describe the existing treatment facility: Wastestream consists of filter backwash water from WTP.
Backwash water is allowed to flow by gravity into a circular settling basin where solids settle out.
"Clear" decant water is discharged to creek (via siphon) when tests parameters show water is compliant
with permit requirements. Alum sludge is pumped from settling basin by septic hauler and disposed of
at Louisburg W WTP. Discharge occurs — 3 times per week.
2. Are there appropriately certified ORCs for the facilities? ❑ Yes or M No.
Operator in Charge: Ashley Roberson (P/C Grade 1) Certificate # 985420 (Available in BRAS or
Certification Website)

3. Does the facility have operational or compliance problems? Please comment: The only problems noted
were lack of documentation of some laboratory analysis. The facility is not currently certified to
perform analysis for pH, TRC, turbidity or settleable solids but has been performing the analysis for
these parameters. This violates the reporting rules, specifically 15A NCAC .0505(e)(5). They have
been put into contact with the laboratory certification section regarding this.
Summarize your BIMS review of monitoring data (Notice(s) of violation within the last permit cycle;
Current enforcement action(s)): No violations were noted when reviewing BRAS data. When
performing the on -site review however it was noted that a considerable amount of data analysis for
pH and other parameters had been ommitted from the DMR (It was compliant with limits but
omitted). Other data reported lacked the proper documentation to support its accuracy as noted
above.

C. E VAL UA TION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Alternative Analysis Evaluation: has the facility evaluated the non -discharge options available? Give
regional perspective for each option evaluated:
Spray Irrigation:
Connect to Regional Sewer System: No indication from permit application this alternative has been
considered. The ORC stated that public sewer is approximately 200 yards from this discharge point. The
writer could not verify the actual distance but did note manholes in the general vicinity of the plant. The
facility should evaluate the possibility of connecting to this system (FWASA). It was stated the facility is
in the planning stages of installing a cetrifuge to dewater their sludge before taking to Louisburg.
Evaluation of alternatives to discharge should be considered first in the opinion of the writer. The facility
was informed of the need to obtain approval for any additional treatment units put into place.
Subsurface:
Other Disposal Options:
2. Provide any additional narrative regarding your review of the application: The discharge did not
appear to have any adverse effects on the receiving stream. The discharge point and the downstream
sampling point were observed. No solids were noted in the stream.
3. List any items that you would like NPDES Unit to obtain through an additional information
request. Make sure that you provide a reason for each item:
Recommended Additional Information I Reason
Evaluation of connecting to regional sewer I proximity to regional sewer (200-300 yards
from discharge point.

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Town of Franklinton WTP
NPDES Permit No: NC0002852
Franklin County
On May 13, 2004, Mr. Shannon Langley of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a
Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the subject facility. The assistance and cooperation of your
Operator in Responsible Charge, Mr. Ashley Roberson, was very helpful and appreciated.
During the inspection the following items were noted:
1.) The facility has a Class I Physical/Chemical rating. Mr. Roberson is now designated as the
Operator in Responsible Charge and has the appropriate certification.
2.) The wastewater generated at the facility consists of filter backwash water containing alum
sludge. This wastewater flows from the WTP filters down the hill to a holding basin where
the solids settle out.
3.) WTP plant staff take samples of the supernatant before allowing a discharge from the settling
basin. The treated wastewater is discharged by allowing it to flow down a ditch and into
Taylor Creek. No solids were noted in the stream below the discharge point. At the time of
the inspection, the supernatant in the basin was clear and free of solids.
4.) The sludge that collects in the bottom of the basin is pumped out by a septic hauler and taken
to Louisburg WWTP for disposal.
5.) The area where the upstream and downstream samples are taken was observed. These
samples are taken in compliance with the subject permit.
6.) The facility currently performs analytical analysis on site for pH, turbidity, residual chlorine
and settleable solids. Other required tests are sent to Tritest for analysis. Currently the
facility does not have a laboratory certification to perform these field analyses. This is a
violation of 15A NCAC 2B .0505(e)(5) which reads as follows:
`Approval of Laboratories. Analytical determinations made pursuant to the
monitoring and reporting requirements of this Section shall be made in adequately
equipped laboratories staffed by person(s) competent to perform tests.

•
Only monitoring programs which provide for the making of analytical determinations
by qualified employees of the owner or by a laboratory certified by the Division under
15A NCAC 2H.0800 or 15A NCAC 2H.1100 will be considered adequate. "
The facility should contact the laboratory certification Section of the Division of Water
Quality at [phone] to receive further instruction with this requirement.
7.) Records — The facility has a copy of its current permit on file and readily accessible. A
review of the facility's records from April and December 2003 was conducted.
It was noted that several values reported on the DMR for pH, turbidity and settleable
solids had no backing documentation at all. In addition, some values that were obtained
were omitted from the Discharge Monitoring Report submitted to the State (e.g. pH
values in July, 2003). All values analyzed should be documented with the proper
paperwork and all samples analyzed should be reported on the DMR. Please review the
last years DMR's and provide amended copies as necessary to our office.
Lab analysis from Tritest for December 2003 revealed some instances of rounding off
numbers by the facilities Excel program. The facility should report the values reported to
them on the lab sheets and not round off the results.
Only half of the lab analysis from July was readily available. Please submit to our office
copies of all of the lab results from Tritest received for samples taken in July 2003.
8.) The ORC noted the Town is planning to install a centrifuge to aid in dewatering its
sludge at some point in the future. Please be advised that any modification or addition
such as this would require an Authorization to Construct issued from our Division.
9.) Mr. Roberson stated that public sewer is approximately 200 yards from the discharge
location. Our office will note this in our review and comments of the permit renewal.
Specifically however, please respond to our office and provide any details on
considerations the Town has made in eliminating this discharge source and tying it into
public sewer.
Please respond with the requested information within 15 days of your receipt of this letter. If
you or your staff members have any questions, please call Shannon Langley or me at (919) 571-
4700.

Only monitoring programs which provide for the making of analytical determinations
by qualified employees of the owner or by a laboratory certified by the Division under
15A NCAC 2H.0800 or 15A NCAC 2H.1100 will be considered adequate. "
The facility should contact the laboratory certification Section of the Division of Water
Quality at [phone] to receive further instruction with this requirement.
7.) Records — The facility has a copy of its current permit on file and readily accessible. A
review of the facility's records from April and December 2003 was conducted.
It was noted that several values reported on the DMR for pH, turbidity and settleable
solids had no backing documentation at all. In addition, some values that were obtained
were omitted from the Discharge Monitoring Report submitted to the State (e.g. pH
values in July, 2003). All values analyzed should be documented with the proper
paperwork and all samples analyzed should be reported on the DMR. Please review the
last years DMR's and provide amended copies as necessary to our office.
Lab analysis from Tritest for December 2003 revealed some instances of rounding off
numbers by the facilities Excel program. The facility should report the values reported to
them on the lab sheets and not round off the results.
Only half of the lab analysis from July was readily available. Please submit to our office
copies of all of the lab results from Tritest received for samples taken in July 2003.
8.) The ORC noted the Town is planning to install a centrifuge to aid in dewatering its
sludge at some point in the future. Please be advised that any modification or addition
such as this would require an Authorization to Construct issued from our Division.
9.) Mr. Roberson stated that public sewer is approximately 200 yards from the discharge
location. Our office will note this in our review and comments of the permit renewal.
Specifically however, please respond to our office and provide any details on
considerations the Town has made in eliminating this discharge source and tying it into
public sewer.
Please respond with the requested information within 15 days of your receipt of this letter. If
you or your staff members have any questions, please call Shannon Langley or me at (919) 571-
4700.

Dear DWQ,
The Town of Franklinton Water Treatment Plants sludge handling is very basic. We send
filter backwash and basin wash water (settled sludge) to a holding tank. After the water
has settled we drain the supernatant out to Taylor Creek. We hire someone with a septic
tank truck to come and haul off the sludge. They take it to a wastewater plant that they
are allowed to dump at.
Thank you,
Ashley Roberson, Water Plant Superintendent
