PERMIT MODIFICATIONS SINCE LAST PERMIT:
Mayor Chad Braxton requested relief from the increased monitoring frequency requirements imposed in the
permit renewal. These increased monitoring frequencies were applied to the permit per 15A NCAC 02B
.0508 as the facility was reclassified from WW-2 to WW-3. The facility did not have any significant
component changes, and the classification upgrade was made based on nutrient limits present in the permit
per 15A NCAC 08G .0302(e). Monitoring frequency for facilities with no significant changes to more
advanced treatment technology between permit renewals will not be required to adhere to the increased
monitoring frequencies when facility grade is increased due to presence of nutrient limits in the permit. The
Division is in the process of creating a new policy regarding facilities in this situation.
On September 20,2019, a Change-Page to Address Modification was submitted to the City of Vanceboro
with the following changes:
• Monitoring reduced to weekly in A(1) for pH, dissolved oxygen,BOD,total suspended solids,NH3
as N, fecal coliform, and upstream and downstream temperature as a policy is process to address
these types of facilities and permits
• Monitoring reduced to 2/week for TRC in A(1) as a policy is process to address these types of
facilities and permits
• Compliance schedule removed in A(l)as footnotes 9 and 10 as increased monitoring no longer
applies
RENEWAL SUMMARY
This renewal contains the following changes:
• Added a reopener condition for all Neuse River discharge permits in Part I. A. (6.).
• Updated electronic data submission requirements.
• Added condition A. (2)Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements [WTP test],per the
Town of Vanceboro's request to commence discharging from the Vanceboro Water Treatment
Plant to the Vanceboro WWTP
• Added condition A(3)Chronic Toxicity Pass/Fail Monitoring(Quarterly) [WTP test],per the
Town of Vanceboro's request to commence discharging from the Vanceboro Water Treatment
Plant to the Vanceboro WWTP
COMPLIANCE HISTORY
Vanceboro WWTP has had three enforcements since 2019 for limit violations and a permit condition
violation. The facility has been issued five NOVs for weekly average and weekly geometric mean
exceedances of BOD, Coliform,and TSS in 2019 and 2023, and six NODs for weekly geometric mean,
monthly average, and weekly average exceedances of coliform, flow, and NH3 as N in 2021 and 2022.
Most recent inspection(August 2023) showed the facility to be in compliance.

COMMENTS ON DRAFT PERMIT
• Robbie Bullock(Washington Regional Office,Environmental Program Consultant)noted that he
had no recommended permit changes for the violations noted on 9/8/2023.
• Robbie Bullock(Washington Regional Office,Environmental Program Consultant)noted that the
Washington Regional Office met with Harry Bailey,the Consultant for the Town of Vanceboro,
and discussed the possibility of Vanceboro sending the discharge of the water treatment plant
(NC0080071)to the wastewater treatment plant(NC0031828) for disposal. After numerous
discussions with the Central Office,two conditions were added to the permit to test the success of
sending the WTP discharge to the WWTP before a major permit modification request must be
submitted to permanently transfer the effluent from the WTP to the WWTP.
• Chad E. Braxton(Mayor of the Town of Vanceboro) stated in a letter to the Washington Regional
Office dated December 15,2023,that,"We have reviewed the recent draft permit for the Town of
Vanceboro#NC0080071. In regards to the discharge from the water plant to the wastewater
treatment plant,we accept the parameters put in place for the draft permit."

Caroline,
We met with Harry Bailey (Consultant for Town of Vanceboro) today and discussed the
possibility of Vanceboro sending the discharge of the Water Treatment plant (NC0080071) to
the Wastewater Treatment plant (NC0031828) for disposal. The discharge from the water
treatment plant is around 16,000 gallons per day. If the discharge from the Water Treatment
Plant is sent to the Wastewater Treatment plant:
1. Will a Toxicity requirement be added to the Wastewater Treatment plant NPDES
permit?
2. Will a Chloride limit be added to the Wastewater Treatment plant NPDES permit?
Thanks,
Robbie

Re External Fw Vanceboro.mso
Caroline,
We have reviewed the draft permit and it looks good, thanks for revising it. I received that letter
from Vanceboro today by way of their consultant, Harry Bailey. Please see the attached email and
letter.
We believe this is sufficient to be able to go ahead with issuing the permit, but please let me know if
there is anything else you or Charles may need.
Thanks,
Scott
