Briefly describe the proposed permitting action and facility background: The Yadkin Valley Sewer
Authority (YVSA) has applied for an NPDES permit renewal for its Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
on July 11, 2023, received by DWR on July 14, 2023. The application was found incomplete, lacking the
sludge management plan; this was received by request from the Permittee on 11/30/2023. The application
did include:
• a Chemical Addendum, reporting no additional pollutants had been monitored by the Permittee; a
topographical map; a process narrative with flow chart;
• sets of effluent data for reduced monitoring evaluation per DWQ Guidance Regarding the
Reduction of Monitoring Frequencies in NPDES Permits for Exceptionally Performing Facilities;
• three effluent pollutant scan reports (June 2021, September 2022, March 2023);
• four second species (Fathead Minnow) toxicity test reports (March, July, September, December
2022), quarterly Ceriodaphnia dubia toxicity test reports; and
• the Industrial User Permit (IUP) for the significant industrial user Pittsburgh Glass Works.
This 1.8 MGD facility serves a population of —6800 residents in the municipalities of Elkin (-4060), Ronda
(-440) and Jonesville (-2300). The WWTP treats a combination of domestic and industrial wastewater
with a pretreatment program involving one significant industrial user (SIU): Pittsburgh Glass Works
(PGW), LLC. In the application cover letter, the YVSA reports no changes have been made to the facility
since August 2020. The facility is contract -operated and maintained by Veolia North America.
Inflow & Infiltration (I&I). The City reports an average daily I&I volume of 0.112 gpd in the application.
Steps taken to minimize I&I include: "one sewer improvement project is in progress, another sewer
improvement project will start by the end of 2023, another is in the design phase and is expected to start
before the end of 2024, there are currently two Asset Inventory & Assessment grant projects in progress to
identify defective assets that contribute to III. "
Sludge Management. The sludge at the YVSA WWTP is hauled by contract haulers to land application sites
under permit WQ0007349.

The receiving stream, Yadkin River, was assessed in the Final 2022 Integrated Report with an overall
assessment of Data Inconclusive, based on assessment ratings for Fecal Coliform and Mirex, a banned
insecticide. All other parameters met criteria, including both conventional parameters and a large suite of
toxicants (including metals and organics) from random sampling events in 2017-2018, collected at Ambient
Monitoring Station Q081000, located - 1.0 mile upstream of the outfall. The most recent benthos assessment
was made at the same location in 2006 with a bioclassification of Good. The nearest downstream WS-IV
boundary is -22.1 miles from the outfall.

Page 3 of 12
The facility's discharge is effluent -limited. The Permittee is not required to monitor for dissolved oxygen
(DO) and the permit has no DO limits. Throughout the facility's history, this has always been the case. In
2007, the Permittee requested speculative limits for an expansion to 2.5 MGD. At that time, the Division
conducted a Level B model with secondary limits and found that the secondary limits were protective of
the 5 mg/L DO standard in the stream. While the facility never expanded, the model demonstrated that the
DO standard was protected in the stream, and no DO or ammonia limits were proposed at an even higher
flow tier. No changes were made for DO.
4. Instream Data Summary
Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example: 1) to verify model predictions when
model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/1 of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to verify
model predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future TMDL; 4) based on other instream
concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also Monitoring Coalitions
established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in which case instream
monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained).
Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (YIN): NO.
Name of Monitoring Coalition: NA.
If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will beproposedfor this permit
action: The current permit has no instream monitoring requirements except for upstream Hardness,
required for calculation of allowable concentrations of hardness -dependent dissolved metals (see Section
6.4. Reasonable Potential Analysis below). The permit does not require instream monitoring of any other
parameters as the discharge accounts for 1 % of the receiving river under low -flow conditions. This is further
justified as the DO standard was found protected through modeling, thus not requiring DO or ammonia
limits in the permit, and BOD limits are technology -based (TBEL), not water -quality based (WQBEL). No
changes to instream monitoring were made. Because of the low effluent flow relative to receiving river
flow, instream hardness monitoring was removed from the permit.
Instream data are available from Division Ambient Monitoring Station Q0810000, located —1.0 mile
upstream of the outfall, and Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin Association station Q1350000, located —21.5
miles downstream of the outfall and —0.5 miles upstream of the nearest water supply boundary with 8
NPDES permitted minor facilities discharging < 1 MGD each in between. Instream data from 2019 — 2022
are summarized below.

Overall, instream parameters appear similar at both locations, with slight increases in temperature, specific
conductance and phosphorus on average. Stronger average downstream increases were found in TKN, TSS
and Turbidity. Due to the distance of the downstream station from the outfall, it cannot be determined
whether the observed differences are due to the WWTP's discharge. Based on this information and the
plant's low IWC, no changes were made.
5. Compliance Summary
Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): From November 2018 through
October 2023 no violations were reported.
Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results (past
5 years): The facility passed 19 of 19 quarterly chronic toxicity tests from March 2019 through September
2023, as well as all 4 second species chronic toxicity tests, run in March, July, September and December
2022 plus an additional test run in March 2023.
Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The most recent facility inspection,
conducted on 8/30/2023 and included a bioassay inspection, reported that the facility appeared well -
maintained and operated. No concerns, deficiencies, or violations were noted.
6. Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs)
6.1. Dilution and Mixing Zones
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0206, the following streamflows are used for dilution considerations
for development of WQBELs: 1Q10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic
Life; non -carcinogen HH); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH).
If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMIX model results): NA
If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0204(b): NA
6.2. Oxygen -Consuming Waste Limitations
Limitations for oxygen -consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to
ensure protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits
Page 5 of 12
(e.g., BOD = 30 mg/L for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and
model results.
If permit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed: The current permit
limits for BOD are secondary TBEL limits based on 40 CFR 133.102. No changes were made.
6.3. Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations
Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of
1.0 mg/L (summer) and 1.8 mg/L (winter). Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria, utilizing
a multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non -Municipals.
Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection
of aquatic life (17 µg/L) and capped at 28 µg/L (acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values
reported below 50 µg/L are considered compliant with their permit limit.
Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: The current permit
does not set limits for ammonia. This decision has been reviewed in the attached WLA form. Since the
calculated allowable discharge concentration for ammonia in both the summer and winter was greater than
35 mg/L, no limit has been added to the permit. Monitoring has been maintained.
The facility uses chlorination as its primary disinfection. The current permit limits TRC at 28 µg/L as a
daily maximum. Though several reported TRC values exceeded the 28 µg/L daily maximum limit, the
facility is considered compliant with its permit since all reported values were less than 50 µg/L. The TRC
limit has been reviewed in the attached WLA and has been found to be protective. No changes were made
for TRC.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants
If applicable, conduct RPA analysis and complete information below.
The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality
standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent
effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC
RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero
background; 3) use of %2 detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) streamflows used for dilution
consideration based on 15A NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of
dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of
Instream Dissolved Metals Standards, dated June 10, 2016.
The current permit requires effluent and upstream hardness monitoring. Reviewed data found averages to
be 33.7 mg/L effluent and 19.1 mg/L upstream, the latter below the default of 25 mg/L. While the data were
entered into the RPA, the program used the default values in the analysis. Due to the low hardness values
and the high dilution in the receiving Yadkin River (i.e., IWC = 0.87%), effluent and upstream Hardness
monitoring is no longer required and was removed from the permit.
A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between May 2019
through October 2023. Pollutants of concern included toxicants with positive detections and associated
water quality standards/criteria. Based on this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for
this permit:
• Effluent Limit with Monitoring. The following parameters will receive a water quality -based
effluent limit (WQBEL) since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable water
quality standards/criteria: None
Page 6 of 12
Monitoring Only. The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they
did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria, but
the maximum predicted concentration was > 50% of the allowable concentration: None
No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since
they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria
and the maximum predicted concentration was < 50% of the allowable concentration: Arsenic,
Barium, Beryllium, Cadmium, Total Phenols, Total Chromium, Total Copper, Cyanide, Total
Lead, Molybdenum, Total Nickel, Total Selenium, Total Silver, Total Zinc, Thallium.
POTW Effluent Pollutant Scan Review: Three effluent pollutant scans, sampled in June 2021,
September 2022 and March 2023 were evaluated for additional pollutants of concern.
o The following parameter(s) will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL)
with monitoring, since as part of a limited data set, two samples exceeded the allowable
discharge concentration: None.
o The following parameter(s) will receive a monitor -only requirement, since as part of a
limited data set, one sample exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: Bis(2-
ethy1hexyl) phthalate.
If applicable, attach a spreadsheet of the RPA results as well as a copy of the Dissolved Metals
Implementation Fact Sheet for freshwater/saltwater to this Fact Sheet. Include a printout of the RPA
Dissolved to Total Metal Calculator sheet if this is a Municipality with a Pretreatment Program.
Toxici , Testing Limitations
Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in
accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits
issued to Major facilities or any facility discharging "complex" wastewater (contains anything other than
domestic waste) will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements, with several exceptions.
The State has received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in NPDES permits,
using single concentration screening tests, with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test failure.
Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: This facility is a Major POTW with a chronic WET limit at
0.87% effluent, monitored at quarterly frequency. No changes were made.
Mercury Statewide TMDL Evaluation
There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply with
EPA's mercury fish tissue criteria (0.3 mg/kg) for human health protection. The TMDL established a
wasteload allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year (81 lb/year), and is applicable to municipals and
industrial facilities with known mercury discharges. Given the small contribution of mercury from point
sources (^-2% of total load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MMPs) for point source
control. Municipal facilities > 2 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury (> 1 ng/L) will receive
an MMP requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case -by -case basis, depending if mercury is a pollutant
of concern. Effluent limits may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed the WQBEL
value (based on the NC WQS of 12 ng/L) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL value of 47 ng/L.
The current permit lacks an MMP requirement since the facility is < 2.0 MGD; and requires low level
mercury monitoring as part of the three effluent pollutant scans. Annual data from 2019 — 2023 were
reviewed below.
Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: Since no annual average mercury
concentration exceeded the WQBEL and no individual mercury sample exceeded the TBEL (Table 3), no
mercury limit is required. Because the facility is < 2 MGD, no mercury minimization plan (MMP) special
condition will be added to the permit. No changes were made.

Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations
If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation within
this permit: The current permit has monthly nutrient (TN and TP) monitoring requirements plus a nutrient
re -opener special condition for High Rock Lake. To better understand TN, monthly NO2+NO3 and TKN
monitoring have been added to the permit.
Other WQBEL Considerations
If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: A chemical addendum
was submitted with the permit renewal application, noting that no additional pollutants was anticipated in
the effluent.
The emerging contaminants 1,4-Dioxane and PFAS chemical group were considered for potential
requirements. Neither was included in the submitted chemical addendum. The nearest downstream WS-IV
boundary is —22.1 miles from the outfall. Since the one SIU in the pretreatment program, a glass
manufacturer, is not a likely source for 1,4-Dioxane, no requirements for this parameter were added to the
permit at this time. Due to the pervasiveness of PFAS in the environment and that there is a downstream
water supply below the outfall, quarterly monitoring for PFAS has been added to the permit with a delayed
implementation. See details in Section 10. Monitoring Requirements below.
If applicable, describe any special actions (HQW or ORW) this receiving stream and classification shall
comply with in order to protect the designated waterbody: NA.
If applicable, describe any compliance schedules proposed for this permit renewal in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H 0107(c) (2) (B), 40CFR 122.47, and EPA May 2007 Memo: NA.
If applicable, describe any water quality standards variances proposed in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.3(e) and 15A NCAC 2B.0226 for this permit renewal: NA.
7. Technology -Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs)
Municipals (if not applicable, delete and skip to Industrials)
Are concentration limits in the permit at least as stringent as secondary treatment requirements (30 mg1L
BOD51TSS for Monthly Average, and 45 mg1L for BOD51TSS for Weekly Average). YES. Both BOD and
TSS limits are TBELs of 30 mg/L monthly average and 45 mg/L weekly average.
If NO, provide a justification for alternative limitations (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA.
Are 85% removal requirements for BOD51TSS included in the permit? YES. Over the effluent data review
period from May 2019 through October 2023, no BOD removal rates less than 85% were found; nine (9)
TSS removal rates less than 85% were found.
Page 8 of 12
If NO, provide a justification (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA.
8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge)
The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not
degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation
review in accordance with 15A NCAC 213.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit must
document an effort to consider non -discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 211.0105(c)(2). In all cases,
existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is maintained
and protected.
If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives
Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: NA.
9. Antibacksliding Review
Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(1) prohibit
backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a
reissued permit to be as stringent as those in the previous permit, with some exceptions where limitations
may be relaxed (e.g., based on new information, increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL
limits, or WQBELs may be less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution).
Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit (YES/NO): NO.
If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated: NA.
10. Monitoring Requirements
Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following regulations
and guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 213.0500; 2) NPDES
Guidance, Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances (7/15/2010 Memo); 3) NPDES Guidance, Reduced
Monitoring Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance (10/22/2012 Memo); 4) Best Professional
Judgement (BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not considered
effluent limitations under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti -backsliding
prohibitions would not be triggered by reductions in monitoring frequencies.
The current permit has reduced monitoring for BOD, TSS and Fecal Coliform based on evaluation of the
above -mentioned NPDES guidance (Ammonia is monitored weekly without limits; thus is not considered).
YVSA included data for reduced monitoring evaluation of the three parameters in the renewal application.
In a letter dated January 16, 2024, the Permittee requested monitoring reduction frequencies for BOD, TSS
and Ammonia (NH3-N). In the eligibility criteria review over the past three years (from 11/1/2020 —
10/31/2023), the facility has had no exceedences of any of the target parameters. Further, the facility has
had no SOCs, and neither the Permittee nor any of its employees have been convicted of criminal violations
of the Clean Water Act.
Review of effluent data spanning the same time period as above found BOD and TSS to meet numerical
criteria of the 3-yr average < 50% of the monthly average limit and no more than 15 data points exceeded
200% of the monthly average limit. Similarly, Fecal Coliform data was found to meet the criterion of < 20
Page 9 of 12
samples > 200% of the weekly average. As a result, reduced monitoring for all above parameters has been
maintained at 2/week.
PFAS monitoring has been added to the permit at a quarterly frequency, to be effective six (6) months after
EPA Method 1633, finalized in January 2024, is published in the Federal Register under 40 CFR 136. The
six-month delay in implementation is to allow time for laboratories to become certified in the new method.
For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4.
11. Electronic Reporting Requirements
The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21, 2015. Effective December
21, 2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs)
electronically. Effective December 21, 2020, NPDES regulated facilities will be required to submit
additional NPDES reports electronically. This permit contains the requirements for electronic reporting,
consistent with Federal requirements.

Briefly describe the proposed permitting action and facility background: The Yadkin Valley Sewer
Authority (YVSA) has applied for an NPDES permit renewal for its Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
on July 11, 2023, received by DWR on July 14, 2023. The application was found incomplete, lacking the
sludge management plan; this was received by request from the Permittee on 11/30/2023. The application
did include:
• a Chemical Addendum, reporting no additional pollutants had been monitored by the Permittee; a
topographical map; a process narrative with flow chart;
• sets of effluent data for reduced monitoring evaluation per DWQ Guidance Regarding the
Reduction of Monitoring Frequencies in NPDES Permits for Exceptionally Performing Facilities;
• three effluent pollutant scan reports (June 2021, September 2022, March 2023);
• four second species (Fathead Minnow) toxicity test reports (March, July, September, December
2022), quarterly Ceriodaphnia dubia toxicity test reports; and
• the Industrial User Permit (IUP) for the significant industrial user Pittsburgh Glass Works.
This 1.8 MGD facility serves a population of —6800 residents in the municipalities of Elkin (-4060), Ronda
(-440) and Jonesville (-2300). The WWTP treats a combination of domestic and industrial wastewater
with a pretreatment program involving one significant industrial user (SIU): Pittsburgh Glass Works
(PGW), LLC. In the application cover letter, the YVSA reports no changes have been made to the facility
since August 2020. The facility is contract -operated and maintained by Veolia North America.
Inflow & Infiltration (I&I). The City reports an average daily I&I volume of 0.112 gpd in the application.
Steps taken to minimize I&I include: "one sewer improvement project is in progress, another sewer
improvement project will start by the end of 2023, another is in the design phase and is expected to start
before the end of 2024, there are currently two Asset Inventory & Assessment grant projects in progress to
identify defective assets that contribute to III. "
Sludge Management. The sludge at the YVSA WWTP is hauled by contract haulers to land application sites
under permit WQ0007349.

The receiving stream, Yadkin River, was assessed in the Final 2022 Integrated Report with an overall
assessment of Data Inconclusive, based on assessment ratings for Fecal Coliform and Mirex, a banned
insecticide. All other parameters met criteria, including both conventional parameters and a large suite of
toxicants (including metals and organics) from random sampling events in 2017-2018, collected at Ambient
Monitoring Station Q081000, located - 1.0 mile upstream of the outfall. The most recent benthos assessment
was made at the same location in 2006 with a bioclassification of Good. The nearest downstream WS-IV
boundary is -22.1 miles from the outfall.

The highest annual average flow was 0.976 MGD or 54% of the permitted flow in CY2020.
The facility's discharge is effluent -limited. The Permittee is not required to monitor for dissolved oxygen
(DO) and the permit has no DO limits. Throughout the facility's history, this has always been the case. In
Page 3 of 12
2007, the Permittee requested speculative limits for an expansion to 2.5 MGD. At that time, the Division
conducted a Level B model with secondary limits and found that the secondary limits were protective of
the 5 mg/L DO standard in the stream. While the facility never expanded, the model demonstrated that the
DO standard was protected in the stream, and no DO or ammonia limits were proposed at an even higher
flow tier. No changes were made for DO.
4. Instream Data Summary
Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example: 1) to verify model predictions when
model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/l of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to verify
model predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future TMDL; 4) based on other instream
concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also Monitoring Coalitions
established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in which case instream
monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained).
Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (YIN): NO.
Name of Monitoring Coalition: NA.
If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will be proposed for this permit
action: The current permit has no instream monitoring requirements except for upstream Hardness,
required for calculation of allowable concentrations of hardness -dependent dissolved metals (see Section
6.4. Reasonable Potential Analysis below). The permit does not require instream monitoring of any other
parameters as the discharge accounts for 1 % of the receiving river under low -flow conditions. This is further
justified as the DO standard was found protected through modeling, thus not requiring DO or ammonia
limits in the permit, and BOD limits are technology -based (TBEL), not water -quality based (WQBEL). No
changes to instream monitoring were made. Because of the low effluent flow relative to receiving river
flow, instream hardness monitoring was removed from the permit.
Instream data are available from Division Ambient Monitoring Station Q0810000, located —1.0 mile
upstream of the outfall, and Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin Association station Q1350000, located —21.5
miles downstream of the outfall and —0.5 miles upstream of the nearest water supply boundary with 8
NPDES permitted minor facilities discharging < 1 MGD each in between. Instream data from 2019 — 2022
are summarized below.

Overall, instream parameters appear similar at both locations, with slight increases in temperature, specific
conductance and phosphorus on average. Stronger average downstream increases were found in TKN, TSS
and Turbidity. Due to the distance of the downstream station from the outfall, it cannot be determined
whether the observed differences are due to the WWTP's discharge. Based on this information and the
plant's low IWC, no changes were made.
5. Compliance Summary
Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): From November 2018 through
October 2023 no violations were reported.
Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results (past
5 years): The facility passed 19 of 19 quarterly chronic toxicity tests from March 2019 through September
2023, as well as all 4 second species chronic toxicity tests, run in March, July, September and December
2022 plus an additional test run in March 2023.
Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The most recent facility inspection,
conducted on 8/30/2023 and included a bioassay inspection, reported that the facility appeared well -
maintained and operated. No concerns, deficiencies, or violations were noted.
6. Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs)
6.1. Dilution and Mixing Zones
In accordance with 15A NCAC 213.0206, the following streamflows are used for dilution considerations
for development of WQBELs: 1 Q 10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q 10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic
Life; non -carcinogen HH); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH).
If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMIX model results): NA
If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0204(b): NA
6.2. Oxygen -Consuming Waste Limitations
Limitations for oxygen -consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to
ensure protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits
(e.g., BOD = 30 mg/L for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and
model results.
Page 5 of 12
If permit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed: The current permit
limits for BOD are secondary TBEL limits based on 40 CFR 133.102. No changes were made.
6.3. Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations
Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of
1.0 mg/L (summer) and 1.8 mg/L (winter). Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria, utilizing
a multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non -Municipals.
Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection
of aquatic life (17 µg/L) and capped at 28 µg/L (acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values
reported below 50 µg/L are considered compliant with their permit limit.
Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: The current permit
does not set limits for ammonia. This decision has been reviewed in the attached WLA form. Since the
calculated allowable discharge concentration for ammonia in both the summer and winter was greater than
35 mg/L, no limit has been added to the permit. Monitoring has been maintained.
The facility uses chlorination as its primary disinfection. The current permit limits TRC at 28 µg/L as a
daily maximum. Though several reported TRC values exceeded the 28 µg/L daily maximum limit, the
facility is considered compliant with its permit since all reported values were less than 50 µg/L. The TRC
limit has been reviewed in the attached WLA and has been found to be protective. No changes were made
for TRC.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants
If applicable, conduct RPA analysis and complete information below.
The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality
standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent
effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC
RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero
background; 3) use of % detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) streamflows used for dilution
consideration based on 15A NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of
dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of
Instream Dissolved Metals Standards, dated June 10, 2016.
The current permit requires effluent and upstream hardness monitoring. Reviewed data found averages to
be 33.7 mg/L effluent and 19.1 mg/L upstream, the latter below the default of 25 mg/L. While the data were
entered into the RPA, the program used the default values in the analysis. Due to the low hardness values
and the high dilution in the receiving Yadkin River (i.e., IWC = 0.87%), effluent and upstream Hardness
monitoring is no longer required and was removed from the permit.
A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between May 2019
through October 2023. Pollutants of concern included toxicants with positive detections and associated
water quality standards/criteria. Based on this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for
this permit:
• Effluent Limit with Monitoriniz. The following parameters will receive a water quality -based
effluent limit (WQBEL) since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable water
quality standards/criteria: None
• Monitoring Only. The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they
did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria, but
the maximum predicted concentration was > 50% of the allowable concentration: None

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
On August 30th, 2023, Division of Water Resources staff, Ron Boone, conducted a routine
compliance evaluation inspection at the Yadkin Valley Sewer Authority Wastewater Treatment Plant,
NPDES permit NC0020567. Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), Hal Transou, was present during
the inspection. A review of records, data, treatment components, structures, and the outfall was
completed. This inspection reflected compliance with the subject permit.
Discharge monitoring reports, laboratory reports, chain of custodies, operator's visitation logs,
laboratory records, and operation and maintenance records were reviewed. All documentation
appears to be maintained on site at the plant as required by the permit. No discrepancies or
transcription errors, or other documentation errors were noted.
The plant appears to be well maintained and operated. The bar screen and grit removal processes
appear to be in good condition and operating effectively. There appears to be little organic matter in
the grit. Both the screenings and grit are landfilled.
The mixed liquor in the aeration basin appears very healthy and imparts a pungent earthy odor. Air is
very well diffused throughout the basin. The structure itself appears to be in very good condition.
The clarifiers appear to be operating well. There is very little floating scum/solids and weir carryover.
The weirs appear level and the sludge blanket is only about 2.5' deep. The structures themselves
appear to be in very good condition.
The plant uses chlorine gas for disinfection and sulfur dioxide gas for dechlorination. Both gases are
stored in the same building. The plant uses 150-pound bottles of both chemicals, and they are all
properly stored by anchoring them to the wall. Chlorine is injected near the beginning of the contact
chamber and sulfur dioxide near the end.
The flow meter, which was last calibrated in March 2023, is installed at the end of the contact
chamber, after dechlorination. The effluent sampler pulls flow proportional composite samples at this
point.
Sludge is digested in an aerobic digester, and the plant has two sludge holding tanks from which it is
drawn and trucked off to be land applied. The plant does have sludge drying beds that are only used
for depositing loads of wastewater from the collection system or other sources. Filtrate from the beds
flows back to the head of the plant.
The plant's generator operates the entire plant and is run for exercise weekly.
The plant is well secured, clean, and no hazards were detected during the inspection.
No concerns, deficiencies, or violations were noted during the inspection.

adding chemicals upstream of plant have so far been unfruitful. Mixed liquor looks very
healthy and the foam does not appear to be affecting
the rest of the process. Effluent
appears excellent quality.

General Information on the Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
The RPA process itself did not change as the result of the new metals standards. However, application of
the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the
numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge.
The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream) hardness
and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge.
Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The
discharge -specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA
calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal (more on that
below), but it is also possible to consider case -specific translators developed in accordance with
established methodology.
RPA Permitting Guidance/WOBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater
The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern,
based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based on applicable
standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream.
If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the
discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If
monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e. consistently below
detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit.
To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the
following information:
• Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10 (the spreadsheet automatically calculates
the 1 Q 10 using the formula 1 Q 10 = 0.843 (s7Q 10, cfs) 0.993
• Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred
• Permitted flow
• Receiving stream classification
2. In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness -dependent metal of concern and for
each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and instream
(upstream) hardness values to use in the equations.
The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for any
hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for instream
hardness values, upstream of the discharge.
If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation using a
default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)). Minimum and maximum limits on the
hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400 mg/L, respectively.
If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness -dependent metal showing reasonable
potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site -specific effluent and
upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using the new data.
Page 2 of 4
Permit No. NCO020567
The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows:
Combined Hardness (chronic)
_ (Permitted Flow, cfs *Avfz. Effluent Hardness, mg/L)+s7Q10, cfs *Avg. Upstream Hardness, mg/L)
(Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q 10, cfs)
The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the 1 Q 10 flow.
3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total recoverable
metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site -specific translators, if any
have been developed using federally approved methodology.
EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved" converts the value for
dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in -stream
ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients
found in The Metals Translator: Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable
Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion (EPA 823-B-96-007, June 1996) and the
equation:
Cdiss = 1
Ctotal 1 + { [Kpo] [ss('+a)] [10-6] }
Where:
ss = in -stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1], minimum of 10 mg/L used,
and
Kpo and a = constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved
and adsorbed forms of metals. A list of constants used for each hardness -dependent
metal can also be found in the RPA program under a sheet labeled DPCs.
4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition coefficient (or
site -specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions.
In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist (ie. silver), the
dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion factor to
obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This method presumes that the metal is
dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria development for metals. For more
information on conversion factors see the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document.
5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable concentration
(permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation:
Ca = (s7Q 10 + Qw) (Cwgs)(s7Q 10) (Cb)
Qw
Where: Ca = allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L)
Cwqs = NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria (µg/L or mg/L)
Cb = background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or mg/L)
Qw = permitted effluent flow (cfs, match s7Q 10)
s7Q 10 = summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human
health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from noncarcinogens (cfs)
* Discussions are on -going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations
Flows other than s7Q 10 may be incorporated as applicable:
1 Q 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity
Page 3 of 4
Permit No. NC0020567
QA = used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of water,
fish, and shellfish from carcinogens
30Q2 = used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality
6. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of concern.
Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date of the permit
application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th percentile upper
concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are compared to the Total
allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary. If the predicted max exceeds
the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations, the discharge is considered to show
reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard, and a permit limit (Total allowable
concentration) is included in the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support
Document for Water Quality -Based Toxics Control published in 1991.
7. When appropriate, permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in accordance
with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to Alexis Strauss on
40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements.
The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and
hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total chromium data
results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical results
based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum concentration (95th %) for
total chromium will be compared against water quality standards for chromium III and
chromium VI.
9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are
inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness -dependent metals to ensure the
accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset.
