The Division issued NPDES permit NCO020231 to the Town of Louisburg on May 1,
2000. The Division has reviewed your request for permit modification at the subject facility.
Specifically, you requested that the limit and monitoring for lead be eliminated from the permit.
In accordance with your permit modification request, the Division is forwarding herewith a
modification to the subject permit. An updated analysis indicates that your discharge does not
have reasonable potential to exceed the water quality standard therefore the limit for lead has
been removed from the permit.
Though monitoring the effluent for lead shall remain the frequency of monitoring has
been modified to monthly. On June 6, 2000, the self -monitoring data indicated that the effluent
contained lead at a concentration of I 1 µg/L, therefore lead monitoring cannot be removed at this
time. If the effluent from the facility continues to show lead concentrations below measurable
levels for a period of one year or greater, the facility may request that the lead monitoring be
removed from the permit.
Enclosed please find the modified effluent limitations page, This page should be inserted
into your permit and the old one discarded. This permit modific on is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and theelVlemorandum of Agreement
between North Carolina and the U. S. Environmental Protection Age y dated December 6, 1983.
Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. P 11, EA. addresses the
requirements to be followed in case of change in ownership or contro of this discharge. This
permit does not affect the legal requirement to obtain other permits whic may be required by the
Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land R>tsources, Coastal Area
Management Act or any other Federal or Local government permit that ma4e required.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit
modification are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written

Subject: Response to Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted 6/20/07
Dear Mr. 3eone.
JUL 1 12007
I am writing you in response to your letter dated 6/27/07 in reference to the
Compliance Evaluation. Inspection conducted on 60-0107. The following items where
noted for response:
1) The plant descripticn for the permit must be updated to include cascade aeraticn.
This will be handled on the nest permit renewal scheduled for .009.
2) The Town has not completed an Annual Performance Report. I am currently
gathering information for this report and will forward it to your office upon
completion. This report will be accomplished annually from this point on.
3) Your office would like a brief description of a simple system the Town installed
to cake biosolids for composting. This system consist of a chemical feed pump.
pinch valve for flow control, mixing chamber, hoses, shut off valves and sludge
pumps already used with our current aerobic digesters. The system uses a
polymer and water mixture which is injected into biosolids being pumped to a
gravity dewatering box. These boxes are not on site, but are delivered when the
system is used and picked up after being filled. The water off this box is put back
into our system and the cake biosolids along with the box are hauled away to be
composted by Mcgill Composting. These solids ultimately become a class A
compost. Ms system was installed for emergencies and occasional use when
fields are not proper for land application. This system was not installed to handle
all Louisburg biosolids. The Town will still land apply the largest portion of

biosolids generated. The new component will be added to the plant permit
description in our 2009 renewal.
4) The Towns Storm Water Management Plan did not show annotation of annual
review and employee training. The permit annual review and training will be
annotated accordingly.
On behalf of the Town of Louisburg, I would like to thank you for your help during the
annual inspection. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at
[phone].

Dear Mr. Gobble:
A letter of request for Authorization to Construct was received March 6, 2006, by the
Division, and final plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and found
to be satisfactory. Authorization is hereby granted for the construction of modifications to the
existing 1.37 MGD Tar River Water Reclamation Facility, with discharge of treated wastewater
into the Tar River in the Tar -Pamlico River Basin.
This authorization results in no increase in design or permitted capacity and is awarded
for the construction of the following specific modifications:
a new mechanical bar screen; a new septic tank hauler receiving station;
replacement of existing influent and effluent refrigerated samplers with new ones;
new clarifier effluent trough cover plates; replacement of mixers in the oxidation
ditch, in conformity with the project plans, specifications, and other supporting
data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of
NPDES Permit No. NCO020231 issued September 14, 2004, and shall be subject to revocation
unless the wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and
limitations specified in Permit No. NCO020231.
The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance
with G.S. 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may

Louisburg Water Reclamation Facility
NPDES Permit Numbers: NCO020231 & NCG110076
Franklin County
Dear Mr. Pemell:
On March 15, 2006, Mr. Chad Coburn of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a Compliance
Evaluation Inspection and a Stormwater Compliance Evaluation Inspection (NCG110076) of the
Louisburg Water Reclamation Facility. Mr. Jimmy Ellington represented the Town of Louisburg
during the inspection. His help and assistance during the inspection was appreciated. Findings
during the inspection are as follows:
1. The permit was issued effective October 1, 2004 and expires September 30, 2009. The
facility has a permitted flow of 1.37 MGD and is operating at an average of 41 % capacity.
2. Mr. Jimmy Ellington is the designated ORC of the facility, and Mr. Richard Collins is
designated as backup-ORC.
3. The mechanical bar screen is not operational and needs to be replaced. Manual bar
screens are in use at present and need to be cleaned 7 to 8 times per day shift, and at least
once per night. The implicit dangers of manual bar screen cleaning and usage for a
facility of this flow should make repair or replacement of the mechanical bar screen a high
priority.
4. The facility underwent laboratory re -certification in November of 2005.
5. Aerobic digester capacity appeared to be an issue at the time of the inspection. One
digester was 50-65% full, while the second digester was at full capacity. Mr. Ellington
indicated that sludge removal from the second digester was scheduled for the next
workweek. Please send written notification to the Raleigh Regional Office within 15
days of sludge removal.
6. The grounds of the facility are well maintained. However, the last manhole along the
outfall line appeared to have been vandalized, with large rocks and cinder blocks thrown
into it. The manhole cover was missing and should be replaced and secured to prevent
further vandalism.

7. The stormwater certificate of coverage was on file as well as the site plan and inspection
records. A review of the stormwater documents revealed that the monitoring
requirements of the permit are being met.

IMPROVEMENTS TO
WATER RECLAMATION PLANT
TOWN OF LOUISBURG, NORTH CAROLINA
1. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Town of Louisburg has been experiencing frequent and costly problems with
some of the equipment at the Water Reclamation Plant. This purpose of this report was
to analyze the problems, investigate alternatives and determine cost for replacing the
equipment.
The major problems at the water reclamation plant have been occurring with the
existing bar screen and the mixers in the oxidation ditches. The existing mechanical
screen frequently broke down, has had numerous repairs and was often overwhelmed
especially when septic tank haulers dump their loads at the influent wet well. The bar
screen stop working all together in 2003 and was removed from the channel. The
manual bar rack is being used in an effort to remove trash from the wastewater stream.
The mixers in the oxidation ditches fail frequently requiring costly repairs. They
often break loose from their support and fall to the bottom of the oxidation ditches. This
requires the ditch to be removed from service and drained for retrieval of the mixer. This
interrupts the treatment process and reduces the plant capacity by half.
_ It is recommended to install the following new equipment at the Town's Water
Reclamation Plant in order to improve reliability and to allow for the continued and
proper treatment of the Town's wastewater.
Mechanical Bar Screen,
Septic Tank Hauler Receiving Station,
Spare Digester Ejector Pump,
Portable Self Priming Pump,
Influent and Effluent Refrigerated Samplers,
Sludge Thickener Pumps,
Clarifier Effluent Trough Cover Plates, and
Replace the Mixers in the Oxidation Ditch.
The opinion of probable cost for the above -recommended improvements is
estimated to be $642,159.
It is recommended to install a mechanically bar screen in the channel were the
original screen was once located. The new bar screen would have a faster travel time
and be constructed of thicker, sturdier material in an effort to prevent overloading and
damage.
It is recommended to install a septic tank hauler receiving station to remove
solids and stringy material from the septic tank wastewater. This would help eliminate

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
NPDES Permit No. NCO020231
Tar River Water Reclamation Facility
Franklin County
Dear Mayor Parnell:
On July 27, 2004, Mr. Barry Herzberg and Mr. Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted an
annual Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the subject facility accompanied by Mr. Jimmy Ellington,
WRF Superintendent and Operator in Responsible Charge. Mr. Ellington's assistance was both helpful
and appreciated. The attached checklist includes comments at the end of each section. The most
important of these comments and others are as follows:
1. The mechanical bar screen had been removed and manual bar screens were being cleaned
regularly by facility staff. While we understand the existing mechanical bar screen was subject to
high failure rates and repair costs, the inherent dangers of manual screen cleaning should make
repair or replacement of the mechanical screen a high priority.
2. The Tar River Water Reclamation Facility had undergone a Laboratory Certification Maintenance
Inspection in May of 2004. You are reminded to comply with any and all requirements of the
Laboratory Certification Maintenance Inspection report.
Should you have any questions regarding this evaluation, please contact Barry Herzberg at the Raleigh
Regional Office, 919-571-4700 or e-mail to berry. herzberg(ftcmail.net.
Sincerely,
Barry Herzberg

Subject: Draft NPDES Permit
Permit NCO020231
Louisburg WWTP
Franklin County
Dear Mayor Pemell:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Pease review the draft
carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from your current permit:
➢ Based on adverse comments from EPA, the Division of Water Quality was required to
implement weekly average NH3-N (ammonia) limits for municipal facilities, as required by
the Code of Federal Regulation. This implementation policy was adopted October 15, 2002.
The weekly average is three times the monthly average value (with a cap of 35 mg/L) This
permit includes both monthly and weekly average limits for NH3-N.
➢ The limit/monitoring requirements for lead have been removed since all effluent sampling
for the past two years showed levels to be less than the detection level.
➢ Monitoring requirements for oil and grease have been removed since this facility receives
100 % domestic waste.
➢ Instream monitoring requirements for conductivity and fecal coliform have been removed
per Division permitting strategy for facilities that treat 100% domestic waste.
➢ A Priority Pollutant Analysis special condition has been added as required by EPA for all
major municipal permit holders.
Submit any comments to me no later than thirty days following your receipt of the draft. Comments should
be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are received from the public
or from you, this permit will likely be issued in September with an effective date of October 1, 2004.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at the telephone number
listed below.

at NCSR 1001.
2. The monthly average effluent CBOD5 and Total Suspended Residue concentrations shall not exceed 15%n of the
respective influent value (85 % removal).
3. The daily average dissolved oxygen effluent concentration shall not be less than 5.0 mg/I.
4. Fecal Coliform shall be calculated using the geometric mean, according to the procedure detailed in Part 11.
Section A, Paragraph 9b.
5. See Special Condition A. (3).
6. Chronic Toxicity (Ceriodaphnia) P/F at 13%: March, June, September, and December. See Special Condition
A. (2).
7. Sample collected three times per week during June 1 through September 30 and once per week October I
through May 31.
8. See Special Condition A. (4).
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

Permit Number: NCO020231
A. (2). 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 13%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or
"North Carolina Phase 1I Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent
versions. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September, and December. 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:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
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.

Permit Number: NC0020231
A. (3) TOTAL NITROGEN/TOTAL PHOSPHORUS REQUIREMENTS
For Association members: Limits on total phosphorus and total nitrogen have not been included at this time because
the facility is participating in the nonpoint source trading option outlined in the Tar Pamlico NSW Implementation
Strategy Phase 11, which was adopted December g, 1994. If compliance with any element of this strategy, or
subsequent approved revisions to the strategy is not maintained, the Division reserves the right to reopen this permit
to include nutrient limits. if requirements other than those listed in this NPDES permit are adopted as part of a
future revision to the strategy, the Division reserves the right to reopen this permit to include these requirements.

Permit Number: NCO020231
A. (4) POLLUTANT ANALYSIS
The Permittee shall perform an annual Effluent Pollutant Scan for all parameters listed in the attached
table. The analytical methods shall be in accordance with 40 CFR Part 136 and shall be
sufficiently sensitive to determine whether parameters are present in concentrations greater
than applicable standards and criteria. Samples shall represent seasonal variations. Unless
otherwise indicated, metals shall be analyzed as "total recoverable."

Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
Your letter, received August 22, 2003, concerning corrective actions for your analytical procedures has been
reviewed. The quality control measures taken in reference to the deficiencies cited in the February 20, 2003 inspection report
are acceptable. However, this report does not attempt to comprehensively address all certification requirements prescribed in
the North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H .0800), promulgated methods, and applicable Code of Federal
Regulations (40 CFR Part 136). It is the responsibility of the certified laboratory to address any required changes in
Wastewater/Groundwater Laboratory Certification application information, and to correct the Laboratory Standard Operating
Procedures and the Laboratory Quality Assurance Manual when requirements of the above cited codes are not in compliance.
If a future inspection should reveal that the deficiencies cited in the inspection report were not corrected, enforcement
actions will be recommended in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0800.
Thank you again for your cooperation during the inspection. Contact us at (919) 733 - 3908 ext. 272, if you have any
questions or need additional information regarding our requirements.
