Subject: Re: FW: Rescinding an NPDES Permit
Jeff,
This email is regarding the recession of the existing permit (NC0061182) for
North Buncombe High School package waste water treatment facility. Existing
plant is a 25,000 GPD facility. Facility is located at:
North Buncombe High School
890 Clarks Chapel Road
Weaverville, NC 28787
Justification for Recession:
The BOE elected to fund a significant project/permit for land application of the
wastewater under current NCDEHNR regulations due to continued problems
associated with Chronic Toxicity at the existing plant. Engineering and
permitting for this project, OWPB Project # 2013-17 Buncombe County, NC had
been approved, constructed and completed this fiscal year. Inspection approval
correspondence on file. Plant is operational under the new permit guidelines.

Mr. Sledge:
This letter is a request to change the chronic toxicity test on the above facility from a 24-hour composite
to a grab sample. Continued failure of the chronic toxicity of this plant has been a severe problem over the
last two years as your know. Every resource within our grasp has been utilized to solve this problem
without great results. Review of the parameters and possible solutions by the Asheville regional office
and their staff relate that due to flow limitations on the plant a grab sample protocol would benefit much
more than a 24- hour sampling to achieve a true reading.
Per Mr. Menzel, he has spoken with the permits section in order to coordinate this request. We appreciate
your assistance in this matter and please contact me if you have questions or concerns.

Dear Mr. Hall:
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).
Considerable review was given to your request of September 30, 2010, asking that the chronic toxicity
testing requirement and associated effluent limit be removed from the permit. In its place, you requested
the facility receive effluent limitations for ammonia nitrogen. Following examination of the documents
you sent for review, plus an evaluation of effluent data, and questioning of the staff of the Asheville
Regional Office, no direct correlation has been established between toxicity and ammonia values in the
effluent. Other factors may be contributing to instances of effluent toxicity; these factors will have to be
ruled out and a direct cause identified before any such request for an exchange of permit limits may be
adequately considered. Therefore, we are unable to grant your request and this final permit is issued
with no significant changes from the draft permit sent to you on September 15, 2010. The Division is
willing to reconsider your request in the future if reliable studies establish a direct relationship between
effluent ammonia concentrations and episodes of effluent toxicity.
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 decision shall be final and binding.

A. (2.) Chronic Toxicity Pass/Fail Permit Limit (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90%.
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 H Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedurd"
(Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
January, April, July and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted f1pal 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 H 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. If reporting
pass/fail results using the parameter code TGP3B, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is sent to the below
address. If reporting Chronic Value results using the parameter code THP311, DWQ Form AT-3
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section

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, 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 Section 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.

A. (2.) Chronic Toxicity Pass/Fail Permit Limit (Quarterly), continued
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.

Hello again,
As you could probably tell, I replied before reading the attachment.
I just had the opportunity to speak with Matt about this. He felt certain the situation goes back to the old
ammonia/toxicity option given to the schools many years ago. However, he also saw the situation as pretty cut and dry.
With an unresolved and undiagnosed toxicity problem, we cannot remove the testing and the limit from the permit.
Maybe if they can be more definitive in the future about the cause, and they appear to be able to address it, we could
revisit the issue.
With the boss thinking that way, I'm just going to prepare a final permit with the requirements as were stated in the
draft, and I'll explain the reasoning from over here. If they want to contest the permit, we can revisit the matter then
(but I don't think that's likely).
Thanks again,

I had included an attachment with the last e-mail that gave guideline for toxicity testing. If a facility has less than
0.1mgd flow and is only a domestic discharge then toxicity would normally not be in the permit unless there is
something else going on with the facility. Let me talk with Kevin Bowden today about why the NH3 was added as a
substitute and will get back with you today.

Subject: RE: North Buncombe High School
Good Morning,
Sorry to leave you hanging. They let me work an odd schedule over here, and I had left just before your reply came
through.
I looked over the flow data from the facility (the RIMS report function still appears to be down). Since the beginning of
2009, their average flow is 10,000 gallons per day. Looking through the file, I can't see anything that would deem this
one as having a complex waste stream. The discharge at one time did receive flow from the commercial style washing
machines operated by the athletic department. Their use is said to have been discontinued following a TA visit by Don
Price in 2009. They've inventoried cleaning products and looked at maintenance processes to try to reduce potential
toxic effects.
In October 2008, they say they took an influent sample that yielded BOD of 1830 mg/L and TSS of 1160 mg/L. Don't
know what that is all about but they seem to link it to a toxic substance introduced to the system. It certainly doesn't

OK let me think about this one. We may try and talk with Kevin or Matt and see what the thought process was in
developing the ammonia limit over the toxicity limit. I don't have enough knowledge as to why that was proposed
instead of the toxicity test. Most facilities of this size would not have a tox limit but because they have a complex waste
stream(I'm assuming this is the case) they have a tox limit. What is their average discharge?

Hi Cindy,
Here's a blast from the past, back when there was no slush and snow on the roads
This one's about N. Buncombe HS and their same old issue. They'd like to "exchange" their toxicity limit for ammonia
limits. However, we were disinclined to go that route because they weren't definitive about the cause of the toxicity,
even If ammonia was suspected. Even Jeff noted earlier in this thread that there was no obvious cause.
We sent them a draft permit in September. They responded with a request to modify the terms. I don't believe we're
eager to change the terms, but Jeff P. is not 100%a against it, if it isn't contrary to policies.
What do you think? If they have a history of tox violations and we can't explicitly tie ammonia to the violations, would it
be right to remove the tox requirement, even while adding an ammonia limit? I guess we could add ammonia limits and
keep a testing only requirement without a limit, but I don't think the facility would buy that because cost seems to be a
motivating factor.
If you've got time, could you give me some thoughts about this. I've sat on this permit too long and ought to get it off
my desk.
Thanks for your help
Bob S.

I believe that some version of that gambit is what's going on here. I think the school has chosen to go with the tox test
instead of having an ammonia limit imposed. It looks like the receiving stream is deemed to be zero flow at the
discharge point. If we were to assign limits, this facility would get a monthly average of 2.0 mg/Lin the summer and 4.0
in the winter (with corresponding daily max limits of 10 and 20). Just quickly eyeballing their recent data, it looks like
compliance with those limits would be inconsistent at best.

North Buncombe High School NC0061182 has had problems passing their chronic toxicity requirement for some time
now, possibly two permit cycles. The cause for the failure is still unknown at this time. The receiving stream is very small
and because of that they have a 90% concentration for their required test. Their permit is currently up for renewal. I was
wondering if there are other options to replace or rework that toxicity requirement?

RE: NPDES Permit # NCO061182
North Buncombe High School WWTP
Dear Mr. Sledge:
This letter is a request on the part of Buncombe County Schools for a change to the above permitted
WWTP. The BOE would like to respectfully request that the quarterly monitoring requirements for
chronic toxicity be changed to ammonia. This request is a result of continual failure of the 90% effluent
concentration for chronic toxicity that is practically impossible to meet due to the percentage of stream
flow.
I have enclosed correspondence from 2009 with Mr. Haynes as well as Ms. Moore detailing the amount of
effort, monies and manpower over failure of at least one testing quarter per year for chronic toxicity.
Currently Mr. Menzel has been working with us on the latest test failure in April 2010. RPB Systems our
operator has worked diligently as well as BOE personnel investigating, documenting, changing school
waste habits and tracking effluent characteristics and we still seem to fail with no explanation or evident
causes.
Simply stated, we are under a testing parameter that will not allow adjustment to the plant nor any other
variables. Last year alone the BOE spent over $17,000 in fines, lab fees and protocol changes. Being a
state agency you understand that we do not have monies to pay fines when it should be utilized in the
classroom. By allowing ammonia, we would have a testing parameter that allows adjustment and can be
field monitored during lapse periods such as summer and no flow. I am in receipt of our draft permit for
this facility and the BOE and our Superintendent would like to see the change to ammonia instituted prior
to the current permit being issued.
Please contact me if you have questions or concerns. I look forward to a favorable decision on this matter
in order for us to make the WWTP environmentally sound.

RE: MSDS's — N. B. High WWTP (NC0061182)
Mr. Haynes:
Per our conversati e c concerning the recent Chronic Toxicity leve s N. B. High School
er the following. Enclosed you will find the current MSDS's for the floor ca emicals that
e currently bet g utilized within the school.
1. Labor Saver Stripper— Dilution rate of 3 to 1 (3 parts water to 1 part stripper). Currently 1/5`h of
the school is being stripped within a year's time. Some of this material ends up in the sanitary
sewer usually by waste or cleaning of the stripper machines.
2. The remaining floor products, Thermo Flex Top Coat and Thermo Flex Base Coat are wax
applications with little or no waste. All product ends up in the floor finish.
3. Remaining cleaning chemicals are minimal as the BOE utilizes low VOC products with high
dilution rates. Cleaning schedules (mopping, urinal cleaning) are set so that dilution is great
enough mixed with the effluent flows that I don't see this as a problem for the plant.
I will be mee i 5t rt er instruct on these
items and try to gain a perspective of what other chemicals/agents may be entering the system. I will also
be providing an instructional meeting with entire staff to re-educate them on the importance of the WWTP
and proper disposal of instructional based chemicals that may be utilized in the educational setting (i.e.
Vocational, Science, Art) on January 22nd. The instructional procedures are also a part of our
custodial/maintenance management that is performed on a regular basis.
Essentially, we are having an unusually hard time this year meeting the 90% chronic toxicity requirement
as we discussed. All avenues that may be contributing from the school will be addressed to ensure that the
plant receives no chemical hits. However, the Board of Education will still be interested in pursuing the
reduction of the 90% chronic toxicity testing based on past records and the receiving stream size. Once
you have had time to analyze the enclosed materials, please contact me at [phone] to discuss.

RE: NOV - Effluent Toxicity Testing
NPDES Permit NC00061182 Buncombe County Schools
North Buncombe High - Buncombe County
Dear Ms. Moore;
This letter is a remission request for civil penalties outlined in your May 29, 2009 letter to the
Buncombe County Schools.
Please see attached remission request from the previous fine dated March 10, 2009 of which we
still have no reply to. This remission request is a duplicate to the above attached letter based on
chronic toxicity fails in January, February and March 2009. The BOE has been working
diligently to correct the failing parameters and no observable environmental impact resulted due
to these issues. Your staff from the local Regional Office as well as Mr. Donald Price, CET
WWTP Consultant have also been involved as can be seen in the attached letter from Mr. Price
dated April 20, 2009. During this Technical Assistance Inspection the offices personnel
conducted on -site inspection and testing of the WWTP. Those results are enclosed.
P,0-4
The Buncombe County Board of Education has incurred additional costs in excess of $17,000
trying to alleviate this problem over the past (7) months and have been in compliance since
March 2009 with the chronic toxicity parameter for this plant. Close observation of school waste
resulted in deduction of the Athletic clothes washers introducing higher volumes of
detergents/germicidals into the system possibly resulting in reduced reproduction of "bugs" at
the plant. The washers were immediately disconnected and discharge monitored at the plant.
Additional chronic toxicity testing ensued with passing results.

In conjunction with our operator, RPB Systems the BOE has never willing nor will ever allow an
environmental impact to occur without exhausting every effort to alleviate the problem. This is
evident by the enclosed materials. Currently we are in the same financial crisis as the rest of the
state and based on the financial efforts as well as personnel expenditures put forth thus far we
therefore request remission of this civil penalty. I trust that you agree that based on the
background of the efforts involved. The Buncombe County BOE will continue to operate our
WWTP's with environmentally sound practices. Please contact me if you have questions or
concerns.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
This Technical Assistance was conducted at the request of Belvin Hall, AssT Director Buncombe County
Schools Maintenance. On -site reprensentatives of the Contract Operations firm RPB Systems were: Mr.
Ken Henson, Ms. Diane Caughlin, and Mr. Bob Barr. Their time and assistance in conducting the Technical
Assistance is greatly appreciated.
The facility was experiencing "Toxicity" problems and not meeting the WET (Whole Effluent Toxicity)
requirement in their NPDES permit at the time of the Technical Assistance. An evaluation of facility
operation and maintenance was conducted the day of the Technical Assistance visit, and the facility was
found to be well operated and maintained.
Samples were collected for BOD, TSS, and Alkalinity in the Treatment Plant. The following results were
obtained. Inf. BOD = 23,000 mg/L, Inf. TSS = 150 mg/L, Inf. Alkalinity 120 mg/L; samples from the
Equalization Tank into the Aeration Tank were as follows: AT BOD = 55,000 mg/L, AT TSS = 162 mg/L, and
AT Alkalinity = 310 mg/L; samples from the Effluent into the discharge were as follows: Eff. BOD = 11 mg/L,
Eff. TSS = 6.2 mg/L, and Eff. Alkalinity = 140 mg/L.
The results of these samples confirm the facility is being well operated and maintained. Review of past
monitoring data indicate Toxicity problems began around August and September of 2008. There was a
noticeable spike in the effluent Ammonia concentraion during this same time period. Effluent Ammonia
concentrations jumped from 0.3 mg/L to 8.4 mg/L. This is a 196% increase in the Ammonia concentration of
the discharge. Further review of operation and the influent contribution to the system indicate the School
has a "Commercial' laundry on -site. The commercial washing machines are constructed to conserve water.
This type of machine will "Concentrate" any surfactant (soap), disinfectant or germicide, and any other
constitutent used to clean the garments. This concentration will then be discharged to the treatment system
where it will disrupt the biological activity causing compliance limitation issues. It is suggested the facility
discontinue the use of these commercial machines or strictly limit and supervise their use. This should
alleviate future operational problems.

I understand the reluctance to let go of the Tox test. They have a high concentration toxicity test at 90% along with a
tablet chlorine and de-chlor delivery system which allows for little to no fine tuning. We discussed the possibility of
having them pump the plant out during the summertime when there is little to no flow which would eliminate the
discharge for that time period.

Hi Jeff,
I haven't been able to get any further with your question since you sent your last note. I'll try to get some conclusive
answers by tomorrow at the latest. Preliminarily, it would seem that a switch in options would be available to them; I'll
have to check on what the frequency would be. Under the circumstances, weekly monitoring would probably be
appropriate. I think they could go ahead and ask for the switch, but this one gets a little more problematic because we
know they have a toxicity problem, and while we suspect ammonia, we're not sure if that's really the problem. It would
seem to make us more reluctant to let go of the tox test.
I'll look into this some more and reply to you and the rest of the cc's.

Compliance Issues: French Broad River Basin
NC0085952 TA Operating Corporation — Candler Travel Center
Most violations at this facility have been attributed to deficient operation practices by the former
operator. Since a new ORC has been hired, the frequency and magnitude of limit violations has
dropped. No permitting initiative is deemed necessary to address noncompliance. The permit
writer may wish to consider adding language to the cover letter citing noncompliance during the
previous permit cycle, and noting the importance of consistent, reliable operation of this system
in order for it to remain in compliance.
NC0061182 North Buncombe High School
Facility has experienced effluent limit violations leading to civil penalties for fecal coliform,
total suspended solids and whole effluent toxicity. TSS violations may be associated with flaking
of the tablets used for dechlorination. Toxicity issues may merit special attention. Technical
assistance has been performed at the WWTP and cleaning products have been inventoried. The
permit requires ammonia monitoring, but the permit has no ammonia limit. The permit writer
should examine ammonia data in relation to tox test failures to see if there is any obvious
connection. Dechlor chemical concentrations may also be a suspect in toxicity matters. ATU has
not specifically weighed in on this situation. If chlorination/dechlorination appears to be a
problem, the facility may be encouraged to go to a UV system for disinfection. Additionally,
increasing the ammonia monitoring frequency from 2/month to weekly may be advisable. At a
minimum, the cover letter should include language pointing out the toxicity issues. Should
noncompliance continue, the facility may want to begin to evaluate the feasibility of connecting
to the MSD Buncombe collection system.
NC0075388 Havon, Inc. — Pleasant Cove Home WWTP
Most noncompliance was closer to beginning of last permit cycle. Recent months show much
improved performance. The permit writer may wish to consider adding language to the cover
letter citing noncompliance during the previous permit cycle, and noting the importance of
consistent, reliable operation of this system in order for it to remain in compliance.
NC0036641 Fletcher Academy WWTP
Most noncompliance from earlier in last permit cycle. Facility experienced ammonia violations
Feb. — Apr. 2009; in compliance through most recent reports received. The permit writer may
wish to check BIMS for most recent compliance information and contact ARO for any recent
developments. At the present time, this facility is not seen as a problem facility. You may
consider adding language to the cover letter citing noncompliance during the previous permit
cycle, and noting the importance of consistent, reliable operation of this system in order for it to
remain in compliance.

Compliance Issues: French Broad River Basin
NCO020290 Town of Burnsville WWTP
The facility had some major upset episodes during the last permit cycle that were partially due to
long term neglect of routine O&M. The Town has also had pretreatment and collection system
concerns. The facility has recently undergone a number of upgrades that have led to much
improved performance. The cover letter may wish to note these upgrades and the need for
continuing attention to O&M in order to maximize treatment potential.
NCO067342 North View Mobile Home Park
This facility looks ok based upon the values submitted on DMRs, but typically does not look as
good during inspections. The WWTP has been the subject of numerous complaints from
neighbors. The permit writer is asked to contact ARO during permit development process to see
if any new issues have arisen that may require treatment within the permit.
NCO066788 Buncombe Co. BOE — Fairview Elementary School
2009 annual average for flow was 91.78% of design capacity.

A. (2.) Chronic Toxicity Pass/Fail Permit Limit (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90%.
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 II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised -February .1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months
of January, April, July and October. 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,

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.

AMMONIA TOXICITY POLICY
In 1990 the EPA decreed that each delegated State develop controls on ammonia as a toxicant
(after years of considering it to be primarily an oxygen -consuming waste). North Carolina uses
two instream criteria adopted from EPA research:
• Summer instream criteria-- 1.0 mg/L ell
• Winter instream criteria = 1.8 mg/L --
(Note: These are called "criteria" because standards have not been formally adopted for non -trout
classified waters in North Carolina.)
In order to evaluate whether the discharge has the potential to cause instream toxicity, the
allowable effluent concentrations of ammonia (summer and winter) are calculated with the mass
balance equation (using the IWC Excel Spreadsheet in Appendix A). Both summer 7Q10 and
winter 7Q10 are used in the equation. Ammonia is the only toxicant that is limited differently for
summer and winter seasons. An upstream concentration of 0.22 mg/L is assumed. If the
allowable concentration is greater than 35 mg/L, no limit should be imposed. If the allowable
concentration is less than 35 mg/L, potential toxicity may be occurring. If there was already an
existing ammonia limit based on oxygen -consumption, the more stringent ammonia limit should
be placed in the permit.
If the mass balance calculation indicates the need for ammonia limits, it is Division policy to set
limits no more stringent than 2 mg/L (summer) and 4 mg/L (winter) for small discharges (those
less than 1.0 MGD). This is based on the Division's determination of BAT (best -available
technology) for these types of facilities. Therefore, even if the calculation for a winter ammonia
limit yields a 3.5 mg/L result, a 4 mg/L limit would be given.
For any new or expanded flow, an ammonia limit should be given. However, for existing flows
where potential toxicity may be occurring, the permit holder should be given the option to have
the ammonia limit(s) placed in their permit or to have a quarterly chronic, WET test, pass/fail at
the instream waste concentration using Ceriodaphnia as the test organism. Many times the
facility will need a compliance schedule to be placed in the permit in order for renovations to be
made at the site. Such schedules should be coordinated with the regional office and the permit
holder but should not exceed three years.

Dear Mr. Weaver:
The 2005 permit renewal application for the afore mentioned school has been submitted on March 2, 2005.
I would like to request a change in the testing protocol for this particular treatment plant. Per
recommendations from my operator, RPB Systems, we would like to change from chronic toxicity to
ammonia nitrogen.
I believe that this testing procedure will allow us to better manage the effluent and day-to-day operations
of this package plant. Please contact me at the above numbers if you have questions or concerns.

Per ARO, stream has no history of problems. ARO recommends no instream monitoring;
will go with that recommendation. Facility has a DO limit, but since instream monitoring
is being dropped, frequencies reflect an effluent limited, Class II facility.
ARO also recommended tox testing in lieu of stringent NH3-N limit.

The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90%.
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 II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months
of January, April, July & October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
(continued on next page)

Permit NCO061182
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: 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.

RE: Sludge Management Procedures
NCO061182, NCO073814, NCO066796, NCO066788, NCO086436
Dear Ms. Jackson:
The following is in reference to your request for a narrative description of the sludge management
plan for the subject wastewater treatment facilities.
There are no sludge handling treatment units on -site, or is the sludge discharge to the receiving
waters.
RPB Systems Inc., our contracted wastewater operator, contracts the pumping of excess solids as
indicated by the increasing MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids). The ORC or on -site operator
makes this assessment based on MLSS lab results. As the MLSS increases beyond the
recommended concentration, solids are wasted from the activated sludge system. The contract
hauler takes the waste activated sludge to a local municipality, which accepts such wastes, or to
another wastewater treatment plant that has experienced an upset and is in need of reseeding.
Should you have any questions regarding the pumping and disposal of sludge for these facilities,
please contact Mr. Bob Barr of RPB Systems Inc. at [phone] or myself at the above
numbers.
Respectfully, I . ,
R. Belvin Hall — Assistant Director

Subject: Chlorine Toxicity
NPDES Permit No. NCO061182
Buncombe
Dear Mr. Yarbrough:
Chlorine, a widely used wastewater disinfectant for the
treatment of coliform organisms, often remains instream in residual
amounts that may prove to be toxic under critical low stream flow
conditions. In the last decade, EPA assessed the potential adverse
effects of chlorine to the aquatic environment and has taken steps to
reduce the impacts through the development of federal criteria. In
1986, EPA recommended that all states have a chlorine standard by
their next triennial review of water quality standards.
In revising its water quality standards in 1989, North Carolina
developed an action level for chlorine of 17 ug/1 (freshwater classes
only). In addition, the fecal coliform limit was reduced from 1000
colonies/100 ml to 200 colonies/ 100 ml. Under a new DEM procedure,
dechlorination and chlorine limits are now recommended for all new or
expanding dischargers proposing the use of chlorine for effluent
disinfection. The Division is reviewing chlorine levels from all
existing dischargers as part of their NPDES permit renewal process.
Our records indicate that chlorine from your facility's effluent
discharge is considered toxic to the receiving stream under low flow
conditions, i.e., the amount of chlorine discharged causes a
violation of the instream action level for chlorine (17 ug/1) under
7Q10 conditions (the average flow for seven (7) consecutive days
during a ten (10) year period). Action should be taken to reduce the
effluent concentration of chlorine to an acceptable level. Based on
your facility's instream waste concentration of 100%, an acceptable
level of chlorine in your effluent is 17 ug/l. If this level is not
feasible, you should consider dechlorination or alternate methods of
disinfection for your facility to ensure that both chlorine and
bacterial limits are met. In addition, if your facility plans to
undertake any phase of construction, dechlorination or alternate
disinfection should be included. However, please note that an
authorization to construct must be obtained from this Division prior
to any alteration to your treatment plant.
