Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance
Permit NCO071943
Boiling Springs WWTP
Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Trogdon:
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).
The permit authorizes the Town of Boiling Springs to discharge domestic wastewater from
the Boiling Springs WWTP to Sandy Run Creek, a class C water in the Broad River Basin. The
final permit includes discharge limitations/or monitoring for flow, BOD5, total suspended solids
CMS), ammonia nitrogen and fecal coliform.
Please be advised that a segment of Sandy Run Creek several miles upstream of the Boiling
Springs discharge is listed as impaired on the North Carolina 2008 draft 303d list. This means that a
portion of the stream does not meet all water quality standards. The Division is working toward the
improvement of water quality in this upper segment of Sandy Run Creek. The downstream portion of
Sandy Run Creek where Boiling Springs discharges is currently supporting all designated uses. The
Town is encouraged to continue to comply with permit limits to help maintain water quality in the
receiving stream.
This final permit contains no modifications from the draft permit of October 22, 2008.
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
a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding.
Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. 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, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other
Federal or Local governmental permits may be required.

How to Read this Document
This document was written to correspond with our new Geographic Online Document Distribution (OGDD)
tool using Google Earth. If you are unable to use Google Earth, this document provides maps and associated
water quality information and a discussion of water quality trends occurring in the watershed. Googte Earth is
an independent software program which can be downloaded to a personal, business, and most local and state
government computers; the program allows you to view satellite imagery of the earth's surface along with location
identifiers. DWQ's Basinwide Planning Unit created a "transparency" add on layer to Googte Earth with basinwide
water quality data, which allows a user to locate their watershed, pinpoint a waterbody and use support ratings,
find a location of a permit and provides links to PDF watershed reports. For more information on how to download
Google Earth and DWQ's data visit DWQ's Basinwide Planning's OGDD website. Please contact Melanie Williams
for more information at [e-mail] or 919-807-6447.
Impaired streams are those streams not meeting their associated water quality standards in more than 10 percent
of the samples taken within the assessment period (January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2006) and impacted
streams are those not meeting water quality standards in 7 to 9 percent of the samples. The Use Support report
provides information on how and why water quality ratings are determined and DWQ's "Redbook" describes
in detail water quality standards for each waterbody classification. For a general discussion of water quality
parameters, potential issues, and rules please see "Supplemental Guide to North Carolina's Basinwide Planning:
Support Document for Basinwide Water Quality Plans"
Appendix 2-A provides descriptions of Use Support ratings for all monitored waterbodies in the subbasin
Appendix 2-B provides a summary of each ambient data monitoring station.
Appendix 2-C provides summaries of biological and fish assessment monitoring sites.

CURRENT STATUS IMPAIRED Et IMPACTED WATERS
SANDY RUN CREEK AU#:9-46a
One fish (AF15) and one benthic (AB43) site were sampled in Sandy Run Creek. Site AF15 is located in the headwaters,
and the habitat score (39) was the lowest of any of the fish community sites sampled in the basin. The site received a
Fair rating, dropping from the Good it received in 2000. This decline was the greatest of any of the fish community sites
collected in the Broad River basin (nearly 80 percent). Only eight species were collected and the most abundant species
was the bluehead chub (60 percent), an indicator of nutrient enrichment. The abundance of periphyton growth also
suggests excess nutrient are entering the system. In 2000 and 2005, DWQ biologists noted that cattle had direct, easy
access to the stream. Animal access is likely contributing excess nutrients and impacting streambank stability. Recent
hydrologic events, including drought (1998-2002) and flooding (2004 hurricane season), may have also contributed to
the decline in this fish community. Sandy Run Creek, from its source to Mayne Creek, is Impaired in the aquatic life
category.
Located approximately 10.5 miles downstream of site AF15, site AB43 was rated Good, matching the rating it received in
2000. Biological data collected since 1995 indicates that water quality in this downstream reach is steadily improving.
Since the last assessment perjpd„egy)gngnt and Saeatment upgrades to the Boiling Springs WWTP have been completed

and may be contributing to water quality improvements. This downstream portion of Sandy Run Creek is Supporting in .
the aquatic life category.
BROAD RIVER AU#:9-(25.5)b
Two benthic sites (AB3 and AB6) and one ambient monitoring station (AA4) were evaluated in the Broad River. Site AB3
has consistently received a Good -Fair rating (1995, 2000 and 2005). During the last assessment (2000), a new bridge was
being constructed and flows were significantly reduced. Consequently, the benthic community included many species
that can survive under ver00 y low flow conditions. Sampling in 2005, however, showed that the change in species was not
o permanent and most of the species absent in 2000 were collected again in 2005. Substrate was mostly sand (80 percent)
o with a small amount of boulder and rubble (10 percent each). The drainage area at site AB3 is approximately 539 square
miles.
o Site AB6 near Cliffside is the most downstream benthic site that is sampled on the Broad River. The benthic community
o here was rated Good -Fair. Site AB6 has been sampled nine times since 1983. Seven of the nine samples resulted in a
o Good -Fair rating with the exception of a Fair in 1983 and a Good in 2000. Substrate was mostly rubble (35 percent) and
o gravel (40 percent) with smaller amounts of sand and silt (20 and 35 percent). The habitat score (51 out of 100) was
�y slightly higher than the upstream site at AB3 (habitat score 44 out of 100). Site AB6 experiences considerable diurnal flow
u, fluctuations from power plant operations (Duke Power) located upstream, and the current here can be very swift and
,Ln dangerous. The drainage area at this point is approximately 609 square miles.
0
C) Site AA4 near Boiling Springs is the most downstream ambient station monitored on the Broad River. The water quality
0 standard for turbidity was exceeded in 12.1 percent of the samples that were collected from January 2002 through
0 December 2006. Therefore, this section of the Broad River is Impaired for aquatic life due to exceedences in the water
v quality standard for turbidity.
X
x
In addition, 26 percent of the samples collected exceeded 400 colonies of fecal coliform bacteria/100 milliliters (ml) of
> water. Current methodology requires additional bacteriological sampling for streams with a geometric mean greater than
W 200 colonies/100 ml or when concentrations exceed 400 colonies/100 ml in more than 20 percent of the samples. These
tu additional assessments are prioritized such that, as monitoring resource become available, the highest priority is given to
° those streams where the likelihood of full -body contact recreation is greatest. No portion of the Broad River is classified
`° for primary recreation (Class B); therefore, it was not prioritized for additional sampling during this assessment period.
Potential sources of elevated bacteria levels include failing septic systems, straight pipes, and nonpoint source runoff
a from pasture and forestlands. This section of the Broad River is Not Rated for recreation.
v
NConstruction and agricultural activities influence water quality and aquatic habitat along the Broad River corridor. Urban
and agricultural BMPs should be carefully installed and maintained throughout the watershed because of the moderate
a to steep slopes and the high erosion potential of soils.

Dear Mrs. Sprinkle:
We are requesting the renewal of the above mentioned permit. There have been no
changes made to the operations of the wastewater plant since issuance of the last permit.
Aerobic digested biosolids continue to be land applied to permitted fields for beneficial
reuse as a soil conditioner and a fertilizer supplement.
We feel that the wastewater plant is well operated and maintained and will continue
to perform within its design capacity at 0.60 MGD. If there are any questions or if
additional information is needed please give me a call at [phone].
Sincerely,
.G% —

THE TOWN OF BOILING SPRINGS WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
Treatment Process
The Treatment Plant is designed to function as an activated -sludge treatment facility. The
plant is designed to receive 100% domestic/commercial wastewater. Debris and grit are
removed at the head of the plant, after which the influent enters two parallel aeration
basins for biological treatment. Wastewater then passes into two parallel secondary
clarifiers for sludge settling. Rotating scraper assemblies collect and remove settled
sludge from the bottom of the clarifiers while effluent passes over top of the weirs.
Collected sludge is either pumped to the head of the plant.for combination with the raw
influent or to one of the digesters for sludge,G;afinent and holding. Effluent from the
clarifiers enters the ultraviolet disinfection channel and then passes into the outfall which
discharges into Sandy Run Creek.
The design efficiency of the plant is 88% based on influent concentrations of 240 mg/1
BOD and 240 mg/l TSS, which is based on permitted effluent concentrations of 30 mg/l
for each parameter.
