;
Dear Mr. Thornton:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject
permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES 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 final permit contains the following changes from your previous permit:
• As a result of a Reasonable Potential Analysis monitoring for nickel, copper and zinc
was eliminated from the permit.
• Individual limits for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus were added to the permit
according to the Tar -Pamlico River Basin 2015 Permitting Strategy. Special Conditions
A. (3), A. (4), and A. (5) describe how to calculate nutrient loads and establish how
compliance will be determined.
• Sampling frequency for the effluent pollutant scan was modified to three times during
the permit cycle. See Special Condition A.(7). This condition also includes requirements
for 2nd species toxicity tests.
• A mercury evaluation was conducted in accordance with the Permitting Guidance
developed for the implementation of the statewide Mercury TMDL to determine the
need for a limit and Mercury Minimization Plan (MMP). The annual averages for
mercury were less than the allowable concentrations therefore quarterly monitoring was
eliminated from your monitoring requirements. Since there were detections for mercury
in your quarterly samples, you have to develop a MMP. See Special Condition A.(9).
A special condition was added to the permit to address the Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPArs) pending requirement for you to provide electronically -submitted
Discharge Monitoring Reports (eDMRs). The Division intends to fully implement the

A. (3) CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN AND TOTAL PHOSPHORUS
LOADS [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
(a) The Permittee shall calculate monthly and annual TN Loads as follows:
Page 4 of 14

Permit No. NC0020605
(i.) Monthly TN (or TP) Load (lb/mo) = TN (or TP) x TMF x 8.34
where:
TN or TP = the average Total Nitrogen or Total Phosphorus concentration
(mg/L) of the composite samples collected during the month
TMF = the Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the month
(MG/mo)
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
(ii.) Annual TN (or TP) Load (lb/yr) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN (or TP) Loads for
the calendar year
(b) The Permittee shallreport monthly Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus results (mg/L and
lb/mo) in the appropriate discharge monitoring report for each month and shall report each
calendar year's results (lb/yr) with the December report for that year.
A. (4) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TOTAL NITROGEN OR TOTAL PHOSPHORUS [G.S.
143-215.1(b)]
(a) Total Nitrogen (IN) and Total Phosphorus (IT) allocations and load limits for NPDES
dischargers in the Tar -Pamlico River basin are annual limits and apply on a calendar year
basis.
(b) For any given calendar year, the Permittee shall be in compliance with the annual TN (or
TP) Load limit in this Permit if.
(i.) the Permittee's annual TN (or TP) Load is less than or equal to the effective limit, or
(ii) the Permittee is a Co-Permittee Member of a compliance association.
(c.) If the Permittee is not a co-permittee member of a compliance association and the
Permittee's cumulative annual TN (or TP) discharge exceeds the effective TN (or TP) Load
limit in this permit at any point during the calendar year, the Permittee is in violation of its
TN (or TP) Load limit for the remainder of the calendar year, and each day of continuing
violation shall constitute a separate violation. Compliance with annual limits shall be
determined separately for each calendar year, and an exceedance in one year does not carry
forward to subsequent years.
(d.) The TN (or TP) Load limit in this Permit (if any) may be modified as the result of allowable
changes in the Permittee's allocations.
(i.) Allowable changes include those resulting from purchase of TN (or TP) allocation
from an authorized mitigation banker, the Ecosystem Enhancement Program, or other
source allowed under applicable regulations; purchase, sale, trade, or lease of allocation
between the Permittee and other dischargers; and other transactions approved by the
Division and consistent with the Tar -Pamlico River Basin Association Agreement, as
revised.
(ii) The Permittee may request a modification of the TN (or TP) Load limit in this Permit
to reflect allowable changes in its allocation(s). Upon receipt of timely and proper
application, the Division will modify the permit as appropriate and in accordance with
state and federal program requirements.

Attn: Tat -Pamlico River Basin Coordinator
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
(e.) If the Pennittee is a member and co-permittee of an approved compliance association on
January 1 of a given year, its TN and TP discharges during that year are governed by that
association's group NPDES permit and the limits therein.
(i.) The Petmittee shall be considered a Co-Permittee Member for any given calendar year
in which it is identified as such in Appendix A of the association's group NPDES
permit.
(ii) Association roster(s) and members' TN and TP allocations will be updated annually
and in accordance with state and federal program requirements.
(iii.) If the Petmittee intends to join or leave a compliance association, the Division must be
notified of the proposed action in accordance with the procedures defined in the
association's NPDES permit
(A) Upon receipt of timely and proper notification, the Division will modify the
permit as appropriate and in accordance with state and federal program
requirements.
(B) Membership changes in a compliance association become effective on January 1
of the year following modification of the association's permit
(f.) The TN and TP monitoring and reporting requirements in this Permit remain in effect
throughout the term of the Permit and are not affected by the Permittee's membership in a
compliance association.
A. (5) NUTRIENT ALLOCATIONS [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
(a.) Total Nitrogen (ITSD and Total Phosphorus (TT) allocations represent -the maximum TN
and TP loads that a discharger or group of dischargers is potentially allowed under the Tar -
Pamlico nutrient management strategy. Allocations are not enforceable limits but are the
basis for TN and TP limits established in individual or group NPDES permits.
(b.) The allocations originally assigned to the Tat -Pamlico Basin Association members total
889,274lb/yr (404,274 kg/yr) TN and 160,3721b/yr (73,060 kg/yr) TP. These group
allocations have been divided among the members in proportion to the maximum permitted
flow in each member's permit; that is,
Individual Allocation (TP or TN) = Individual Permitted Flow (MGD) Total Permitted Flow, TPBA (MGD) x Group Allocation, TPBA (TN or TP)
Page 6 of 14

Yemvt No. NCO020605
For the purposes of this distribution, individual permitted flows for the Association
members are those in effect as of July 2014 and result in a Total Permitted Flow of 62.495
MGD.
(c.) The following table lists, for information purposes only, the TN and TP allocations assigned
to, acquired by, or transferred to the Pemrittee in accordance with the Tat -Pamlico Rivet
Basin Phase IV Agreement Applicable TN or TP limits are established in the Effluent

A. (6) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY) [15A NCAC 02B .0200 et
seq.]
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Cadodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 8%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, uarter monitoring using test procedures outlined
in the "North Carolina Ceriodapbuia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December
2010, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised- December 2010) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during
the months of January, April, July and October. These months signify the first month of each
three-month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing
must be obtained during representative effluent discharge and 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 -December 2010) 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, DWR Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1623 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1623
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water 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 Water 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. Assessment of toxicity compliance is
Page 8 of 14

rermit No. NC0020605
based on the toxicity testing quarter, which is the three month time interval that begins on the first
day of the month in which toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues until the final
day of the third month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Resources 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.

Additional Toxicity Testing Requirements for Municipal Permit Renewal. Please note that
Municipal facilities that are subject to the Effluent Pollutant Scan requirements listed above are
also subject to additional toxicity testing requirements specified in Federal Regulation 40 CFR
122.210)(5). The US EPA requires four (4) toxicity tests for a test organism other than the test
species currently required in this permit The multiple species tests should be conducted either
quarterly for a 12-month period prior to submittal of the permit renewal application, or four tests
performed at least annually in the four and one half year period prior to the application. These
tests shall be performed for acute or chronic toxicity, whichever is specified in this permit. The
multiple species toxicity test results shall be filed with the Aquatic Toxicology Branch at the
following address:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1623 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1623

permit renewal application to the NPDES Permitting Unit.
A. (8) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs) and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then
permittees must submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The Division anticipates that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation in
late 2013.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of
this permit (Standard ConditionsforNPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2) Reporting
• Section D. (6) Records Retention
• Section E. (5) Monitoring Reports
Page 11 of 14

Pemtit No. NC0020605
1. Reporting [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5) (a)l
Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall
begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic
Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each
month and submitted electronically using eDMR The eDMR system allows permitted
facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until
such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic
Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), petmittees will be required to submit all discharge
monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the
eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the
computer printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DENR / DWR / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the
facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have
broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting
requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR
forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies
shall be submitted to the mailing address above.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be
submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the
date the facility would be required under this permit to begin using eDMR Temporary
waivers shall be valid for twelve (12) months and shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs
shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is
granted a new temporary waiver by the Division.
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic

2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be
representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period-
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
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.
Bypass
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 next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
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

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. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also

interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Throueh
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Pemrittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization.

noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the
POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and
conditions in its NPDES or nondischarge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a
Significant Industrial User (SIU); or
6. Subject to approval under ISA NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a
non -significant categorical industrial User.

Dear Mr. Noble:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of
the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. It 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.
There are two notable changes from the draft permit sent to you on July 29, 2009. The first concerns revised
special condition A. (3) for nutrient reduction. This change has been made in the permit renewals for each
member of the Tar -Pamlico Association. It includes the Phase III nutrient caps as enforceable permit limits in
each members' individual permit. These limits, like the caps, apply to the aggregate discharge of nitrogen and
phosphorus by the Association members as a group. Additionally, monitoring for TKN and Nitrite/Nitrate, the
two components of total nitrogen, were added. This was done in accordance with the strategy for renewals of
all permits of Tar -Pamlico Association members.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable,
you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days after receiving this
letter. Your request must take the form of a written petition conforming t9 Chapter 150E of the North Carolina
General Statutes, and must be filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such demand is made, this permit remains final and binding.

A. (4) CHRONIC TOXICITY 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 8 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, ug arterly 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 THP36 for the Chronic Value.
Additionally, DW Q Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina' 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, 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.

r
Permit No. NCO020605
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.
A. (5) EFFLUENT POLLUTANT SCAN
The permittee shall perform an annual Effluent Pollutant Scan for all pbrameters listed in the
table below (in accordance with 40 CFR Part 136). The annual effluent pollutant scan samples
shall represent seasonal (summer, winter, fall, spring) variations over the 5-year permit cycle.
Unless otherwise indicated, metals shall be analyzed as "total recoverable." Additionally, the
method detection level and the minimum level shall be the most sensitive as provided by the
appropriate analytical procedure.

consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
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. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method
may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following
restrictions also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters

Re: Compliance Evaluation inspections of
Tarboro WWTP; NPDES Permit No.
NC0020605; Edgecombe County
Dear Mr. Robinson:
This letter is in response to your compliance evaluation inspection of the Town of Tarboro
Wastewater Treatment Plant of 1/6/22.
7. The report submitted in October was my quarterly WET toxicity (Bioassay) and not my
annual effluent pollutant scan. I reached out to Jason Robinson to acknowledge the mix-
up.
9. The bar screen & grit removal unit is currently being discussed in town budget to be
replaced possibly as early as this summer to end of the year.
The aerobic digesters have been repaired and are currently back in service. It was
determined that one mixer had a faulty starter and the other had an electrical issue.
I hope this explains the items of concern in the inspection letter, sections 7 & 9. Thank you for
your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions please call Kevin Peaden at

On Thursday, January 6, 2022, Jason Robinson of the NC Division of Water Resource's Raleigh
Regional Office (FRO) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the Tarboro Wastewater
Treatment Plant (Service Road 268; Sewer Plant Rd.) The purpose of this inspection was to ensure
compliance with the subject NPDES permit. During the inspection, the presence and cooperation by
Mr. Kevin Peaden, Operator in Responsible Charge was appreciated.
The NPDES Compliance evaluation inspection consisted of the following:
• Review of the NPDES permit
• Review of the Owner/facility information
• Review of January 2020-November 2021 Violations
• Review of January 2020-November 2021 Electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports (eDMR) and
associated lab bench sheets, chain of custodies, etc.
• Cursory Inspection of Tarboro WWTP on -site analytical lab
• On -site inspection of the water treatment units; and
• On -site inspection of the discharge outf all
Findings during the pre -inspection file review were as follows:
1. The most recent permit became effective August 1, 2020 and expires on September 30, 2024.
2. The facility is a Grade IV Biological Water Pollution Control Treatment System with a permitted
and as -built flow of 5.0 MGD that treats domestic and industrial wastewater and discharges
through outfall 001 to the Tar River, a waterbody currently classified C, Nutrient Sensitive Waters
within the Tar -River Basin. The plant is part of the Tar -Pamlico Basin Association.

3. Mr. Kevin Peaden is designated as the primary Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and is a
certified WW-4 operator. Mr. Melvin Farmer and Jacob Parisher are designated back-up
Operators (bORCs) and are both certified WW-4 operators.
4. For the review period January 2020 —November 2021, the following DMR violation(s) occurred:
• Fecal Coliform —Weekly Geometric Mean exceed by 2.9% in November 2020.
Findings during the inspection were as follows:
5. A hard —copy of an operators's log book was available for review, and all past log books are kept
on -site (required to keep at least three years). The permittee is reminded to update the log
books daily with conditions at the plant and any issues or maintenance that occurs.
6. As required by North Carolina General Statute § 143-215.1C(a), the City prepared a wastewater
annual report for the fiscal year 2020-2021. The facility is reminded this report should be done
annually, and the report should be submitted to the DWR RRO and made available to all customers.
Bench sheets, chain of custody and lab results for June and October 2021 were reviewed and
found to be complete. June and October 2021 bench sheet values were compared to the
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports (eDMR) submitted by the permittee and no
discrepancies were found. Past laboratory documents are kept on site (required to keep at least
five years).
It was observed that what was may have been an Annual Pollutant Scan was performed in
October 2021, but was not reported on the eDMR and may not have been submitted to the
Division. Special Condition A.(7) of the current permit requires the permittee to perform an
Effluent Pollutant Scan during the calendar years 2020, 2021 and 2022, and to notify this on
the appropriate eDMR and submit the results to the Division. Please see Condition A.(7) of
your permit and confirm these requirements are met. This may require modifying and
resubmitting you October eDMR and mailing the results to the address listed in the permit.
8. The on -site laboratory (Certification #159) is certified for and self -reports monitoring data for
most of the permit -required parameters. Nutrients are analyzed by Environment 1, Inc. in
Greenville. A cursory inspection of the on -site lab was done, including observing meter
calibration logs, buffer expiration dates and incubator and storage temperatures. The
thermometers used in the facility's self -monitoring program are NIST certified or checked against
the NIST certified thermometers. No issues with the laboratory or record -keeping was observed
during the cursory inspection.
9. The inspector performed a walk-thru of the plant with the assistance of the operator. The following
is a list of treatment units, with comments:
Influent pump station;
Automatic & manual bar screen & grit removal — This unit is old and rusty and
repair/replacement should be considered in the future (this was mentioned in the previous
inspection report from January 2019);
Influent Flow Meter — Calibrated quarterly, last calibrated on 10/20/21 and is done quarterly
(effluent meter is used for reporting flows);

DocuSign Envelope ID: 03C79DF5-DF24-41E 3-3UEX685E1E
• Influent Samper - Temperature <4" C
• Three primary clarifiers — The uncovered weirs are typically cleaned weekly;
• Two trickling filters —Only one is typically used, although the other one can be used during large
flow events;
• Four secondary clarifiers — Covered weirs are cleaned two/three times a year. The sludge
blankets are kept at 2-3 feet;
• Two aeration basins in series — older has mechanical air, newer has diffused air;
• Two chlorine contact basins (chlorine gas); and liquid de -chlorination (sulfite);
• Cascade aeration into the Tar River — Effluent appeared clear with no foaming;
• Sludge drying beds — Have not been used in years;
• Two anaerobic digesters;
• Three aerobic digesters - Two of the mixers were down at the time of the inspection. The
facility is currently trying to get them repaired. Based on the most recent correspondence
with the operator, an electrician came out to repair them but had the wrong parts and is re-
ordering new parts. The mixers should be repaired as soon as the parts arrive. Please provide
a written response on the status of this;
• Aerated sludge holding lagoon and truck loading area - Sludge is applied to nearby farm in
Tarboro and the field beside the treatment plant by Granville Farms under Land Application
Permit W00002047;
• Effluent Sampler — Temperature <4` C;
• Effluent Flow Meter — Last calibrated on 10/20/21 and is done quarterly. This is used for
reporting flows; and
• On -site generator — Tested and serviced regularly by the Town's Garage Department
Thanks again for your cooperation with this inspection. Within 30 days, please submit a formal
written response addressing the bolded Item in Section 7 and the two bolded Items in Section 9,

Hello Vanessa,
Michael Allen has retired as the O.R.C. of the town of Tarboro wastewater plant. I am replacing him as O.R.0 of the
treatment plant. My name is Kevin Peaden and I have served as back up O.R.C. during Mike's tenure. I wanted to say
hello and to inform you we will be hauling sludge starting next week to be land applied to our town farm. I am currently
being integrated into our system (email, telephone, etc.) and will update you as soon as I can. I can be reached through
this email address or at (252)-641-4251 if you have any questions. Thank you and I look forward to working with you .
Thanks,
Kevin Peaden

Edgecombe County
Dear Mr. Allen:
L/ T
DWR Staff Jason Robinson and Josh Brigham of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted the subject
inspection on December 5, 2019. Staffs' assistance with this inspection was appreciated. Below is a list
of findings developed from the inspection and review of the permit:
1. The most recent permit became effective March 1, 2016 and expired on September 30, 2019.
The Town submitted a renewal application on May 22, 2019. A draft permit was issued on
October 30, 2019.
2. The plant is permitted for 5.0 MGD and is classified as a WW-4 wastewater facility. Mr. Mike
Allen is designated as the primary Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and is a WW-4. Mr.
Kevin Peaden (WW-4) is the designated backup operator (bORC). Daily operation log books
were available for review.
3. The following is a list of units, with comments:
a. Influent pump station
b. Automatic & manual bar screen & grit removal — This unit is rusty and should be
repaired/replaced in the future.
c. Three primary clarifiers
d. Two trickling filters — Only one in use
e. Four secondary clarifiers — Covered weirs are cleaned annually, sludge blanket kept at
2-3 feet.
f. Chlorine gas disinfection, chlorine contact tank; liquid dechlorination (sulfite);
g. Cascade aeration into Tar River — Effluent appeared clear with no foaming
h. Two aeration basins — older has mechanical air, newer has diffused air
I. Sludge drying beds - Not in use
j. Two anaerobic digesters;
k. Three aerobic digesters

1628 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1628 Phone: [phone]
Location: 3800 Barrett Drive, Raleigh, NC 27609 Fax: [phone]

I. Aerated sludge holding lagoon — Recently installed BlueFrog aerators
m. Sludge truck loading station — Sludge is applied to field beside treatment plan and by
Granville Farms under Land Application Permit WQ0002047
n. On -site generator —Tested weekly
4. The laboratory was checked in a cursory manner. All instruments, meters, probes, photometric
cells are maintained in good condition. Temperatures on all equipment are checked against an
NIST thermometer. The influent sampler box was 4.5 degrees C and the effluent sampler box
was 5 degrees C. The sample fridge was approximately 2.4 degrees C. The fecal coliform bath
was 44.5 degrees C and the BOD incubator was 20.0 degrees C. All standards, reagents and
consumables used are within expiration dates. Instruments are calibrated daily. A calibration
log for all meters is kept up to date. Flow meters are calibrated once a quarter.
5. Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with data
submitted on the DMR for June and March 2019. No discrepancies were noted. Tarboro
WWTP laboratory analyzes fecal coliform, pH, total suspended solids, dissolved oxygen,
ammonia, TRC, BOD, COD, and settleable solids. Environment One analyses TP, TKN, NO2-N +
NO3-N, and metals. Pace Analytical analyzes toxicity and the annual pollutant scan.
I want to thank you again for your assistance with this inspection. If you have any questions about this
letter or the inspection, please contact Jason Robinson at [e-mail].

LINDA CUITEPPER
Mitch Hayes of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted the subject inspection on February 15,
2018. Your assistance with this inspection was appreciated. Below is a list of findings developed
from the inspection and review of the permit:
1. The subject permit became effective March 1, 2016 and will expire September 30, 2019.
Permit renewal is required within six months of permit expiration date.
2. The 5.0 MGD WWTP is composed of the following units: influent pump station; manual
bar screen; mechanical grit removal; splitter box; three primary clarifiers; two (2) trickling
filters; four (4) secondary clarifiers; chlorine gas disinfection; chlorine contact tank; liquid
dechlorination; cascade aeration; two (2) mechanical aeration sludge basins; an anoxic
zone sludge basin; a diffused aeration sludge basin; sludge aeration holding lagoon;
twelve (12) sludge drying beds; three (3) anaerobic digesters; three (3) aerobic digesters;
sludge truck loading station; and an on -site generator.
3. At the time of inspection, one primary clarifier was not in operation due to repairs being
made to a bent scum trough. One mixer was out of service in the aerobic digester and
aerated sludge holding basin. One trickling filter was being operated due to low inflow.
Sludge blankets in the secondary clarifiers are kept at two feet in the two smaller clarifiers
and three feet in the larger clarifiers. Effluent appeared clear with no foaming at the
cascade aerator. Class B biosolids are land applied by Granville Farms under Land
Application permit WQ0002047. There was no sludge in the drying beds. The on -site
generator is operated once a week under load.
4. The laboratory was checked in a cursory manner. All instruments, meters, probes,
photometric cells are maintained in good condition. Temperatures on all equipment are
checked against an NIST thermometer. All standards, reagents and consumables used
are within expiration dates. The influent sampler box was 4.5 degrees C and the effluent
sampler box was 5 degrees C. The.fecal coliform bath was 44.5 degrees C and the BOD
incubator was 20.0 degrees C. A calibration log for all meters is kept up to date. Flow
meters are calibrated once a quarter. The last calibration was done January 31, 2018.

5. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's) for the period August 2015 through December
2017 were reviewed for compliance with permit limit and monitoring requirements. There
were no violations for the period.
6. Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with
data submitted on the DMR for December 2017. No discrepancies were noted. Tarboro
WWTP laboratory analyses fecal coliform, pH, total suspended solids, dissolved oxygen,
ammonia, TRC, BOD, COD, and settleable solids. Environment One analyses TP, TKN,
NO2-N + NO3-N, and metals. Pace Analytical analyses toxicity and the annual pollutant
scan.

Our effluent pH dropped below our permit level of 6.0 on January 6, 2017. The lowest it
dropped was 4.8 and stayed between 5.1 and 5.6 the rest of the day. On Saturday, January 7`h
the pH was up to 6.1 after we applied six 50 lb. bags of lime during the day on Friday. The
reason for the drop in pH was determined to be a 4.2 pH flow coming from Glenoit Mills. I had
them raise their pH and issued them a NOV. They were resampled on January 12, 2017 and
their pH was 6.7.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me at 252-641-4251.

Dear Mr. Allen:
S. JAY ZIMMERMAN
]),,,wr
Mitch Hayes, of the Raleigh Region Office conducted the compliance evaluation inspection
on December 11, 2015. Your assistance with this inspection was greatly appreciated. Below is a
list of findings developed from the inspection:
1. Tarboro WWTP is permitted to discharge a monthly average flow of 5.0 MGD to the Tar
River, Class C-Nutrient Sensitive Waters in the Tar -Pamlico River Basin.
2. The 5.0 MGD WWTP is composed of the following units: influent pump station; bar screen;
mechanical grit removal; splitter box; three primary clarifiers; 2 trickling filters; 4 secondary
clarifiers; chlorine gas disinfection; chlorine contact tank; liquid dechlorination; cascade
aeration; 2 mechanical aeration sludge basins; 1 anoxic zone sludge basin; sed
raeratiera-sludge basin 1 sludge aeration holding lagoon; 12 sludge dryin beds; .3
anaerobic digesters; aerobic digesters; 1 sludge truck loading station; 1 on - site
generator. rt
3. At the time of inspection 2 out of 3 influent pumps were in service; 3 out of 4 aeration /
mixers were in service in the aerated sludge holding lagoon. All other units were
operational. One sludge drying bed was being used for pump station wet well pump outs.
There was no sludge in the other drying beds. Class B biosolids are land applied by
Granville Farms under Land Application permit W00002047. Effluent appeared clear at
the cascade aerator with minimum foaming entering the Tar River.
4. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's) for the period May 2014 through July 2015 were
reviewed for compliance with permit limit and monitoring requirements. Numerous
frequency violations were noted for the review period all due to not recording "Holiday'
during holiday events throughout the year. Please begin recording "Holiday" during holiday
events. There were no other discrepancies or violations noted. Commercial lab results,
chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with data submitted on the
Division of Water Resources, Raleigh Regional Office, Water Quality Operations Section http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/aps

DMR for October 2015. No discrepancies were noted. Tarboro WWTP laboratory analyzes
the following parameters: COD, BOD, TRC, pH, temperature, and DO. Environment One
and Pace Analytical analyzes all other parameters.

John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
On July 23, 2014, Autumn Romanski of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a compliance
evaluation inspection of the Tarboro Wastewater Treatment Plant. The assistance of Mr. Michael
Allen, ORC, the Town Public Works Department, and Facility Staff was greatly appreciated.
Observations during the inspection are summarized below. Inspection checklists are attached
for your records.
Treatment Units/Permit Renewal
All treatment units and components in use the day of the inspection were in working order and the
facility appeared to have adequate capacity, storage, and redundancy built into the facility. The
plant was well -maintained with regards to housekeeping. The facility appeared to be operating as
permitted. The permit expires on September 30, 2014. The permit renewal application was
received by the Division of Water Resources on March 10, 2014 as required. Please continue to
operate under your current permit until the new permit is issued.
Records/Limit and Frequency Monitoring Compliance
A review of the facility's recordkeeping and daily monitoring reports for the past year show
consistent compliance with record keeping and monitoring frequency requirements. The facility
had one Notice of Deficiency and one Notice of Violation for minimum pH (limit) in the last twelve
months of operations. The facility has not been issued any Civil Penalties during this time.

Edgecombe County
Dear Mr. Lewis:
On December 1, 2011, Mandy Hall of the Raleigh Regional Office visited the subject facility. The
assistance Mr. Hubert Whitehead, ORC and yourself was greatly appreciated.
The Tarboro WWTP is permitted to discharge a monthly average flow of 5.0 MGD to the Tar River,
Class C-Nutrient Sensitive Waters in the Tar -Pamlico River Basin.
Components located at the facility and operated by the Town of Tarboro include: manual barscreen,
grit removal, primary and secondary clarifiers, trickling filters, aeration basins, cascade aeration, sludge
holding/treatment, standby power, laboratory facilities, etc.
Treatment Units
All treatment units and components were in good working order and the facility is very well -maintained
with regards to housekeeping. All components were in place and operational as required in the permit.
None of the previously noted issues from the 2009 Compliance Evaluation Inspection were occurring at
the time of the inspection.
Records
A review of the facility's recordkeeping and daily monitoring reports for the past year show a pattern of
compliance with permit requirements. Tarboro uses Environment One and Pace Analytical for
additional parameters for which the laboratory is not certified. The BOD incubator and Fecal bath were
showing temperatures in the required range.

Town of Tarboro
NPDES Permit No. NCO020605
Edgecombe County
Dear Mr. Whitehead:
On September 9, 2011, I, Cheng Zhang of the Raleigh Regional Office, Division of Water Quality (D WQ),
conducted a Pretreatment Compliance Inspection (PCI) of the program at Town of Tarboro. Your assistance
was greatly appreciated. The inspection report is attached. Findings during the inspection were as follows:
1. There are 4 Significant Industrial Users (SIUs), 1 of which is also a Categorical Industrial User (CIU).
It was noted that there were no SIUs in Significant Non -Compliance (SNC) for the last two semi-annual
periods
2. A review of the files containing the pretreatment program elements was conducted. These files were
available and well organized.
3. The review of Long Term Monitoring Plan (LTMP) data indicated the following findings:
Arsenic at anaerobic digester was not analyzed in the 4`s quarter of 2010;
Monitoring frequency for effluent mercury and nickel was changed to quarterly to reflect the
new NPDES permit monitoring frequency change, as requested in the last inspection letter.
However, the POTW failed to submit the LTMP modification to the PERCS Unit for approval.
This LTMP update must be submitted to the Division within 30 days of receipt of this
letter.
4. The IUP file review included Air System Components (Permit No. 006), Glenoit Mills (Permit No. 002)
and Sara Lee (Permit No. 010). All IUPs were current. All files were available and well organized. Air
System Components and Gleniot Mills were in compliance in the most recent semi-annual period. Sara
Lee experienced a TSS limit violation in January 2010. The POTW issued a Notice of Violation to Sara
Lee and took one additional TSS sample, as required by the Enforcement Response Plan.

NPDES Permit No. NCO020605
Edgecombe County
Dear Mr. Whitehead:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On August 16, 2010, Cheng Zhang of the Raleigh Regional Office, Division of Water Quality (DWQ),
conducted a Pretreatment Compliance Inspection (PCI) of the program at Town of Tarboro. Your assistance
was greatly appreciated. The inspection report is attached. Findings during the inspection were as follows:
There are 4 Significant Industrial Users (SIUs), 1 of which is also a Categorical Industrial User (CIU).
It was noted that there were no SIUs in Significant Non -Compliance (SNC) for the last two semi-annual
periods
2. A review of the files containing the pretreatment program elements was conducted. These files were
available and well organized.
3. The review of Long Term Monitoring Plan (LTMP) data indicated the following findings:
The POTW did not sample and analyze effluent mercury in May and June 2010;
The POTW did not sample and analyze silver and cyanide at anaerobic digester, primary clarifier
effluent, and mixed liquor.
Since the last LTMP update, the POTW was issued a new NPDES permit, monitoring frequencies for
mercury and nickel were changed to quarterly, please modify the LTMP to reflect the changes
accordingly. Although silver was not required to be monitored in the new NPDES permit, it is still
a limited parameter in the Industrial User Pretreatment Permit (IUP) of Air System Components,
which is a CIU, and therefore, needed to be monitored at the sampling locations specified in the
current LTMP, in order to complete the Headworks Analysis (HWA).
4. The ]UP file review included Air System Components (Permit No. 006), Glenoit Mills (Permit No. 002)
and Mayo Knitting Mill (Permit No. 003). All IUPs were current. Mr. Whitehead could not locate the
original IUP review letters from PERCS unit. All other files were available and well organized. All three
SIUs were in compliance in the most recent semi-annual period. N'o��nCarolina
