Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO064246
Pace Mobile Home Park
Johnston County
Dear Mr. Pace:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject
permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued
pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994
(or as subsequently amended.)
d� A public hearing on the renewal of the NPDES permit for Pace Mobile Home Park and nine
tSt`� other dischargers was held on May 29, 2003. Because compliance with permit limits has been poor
i at times in the past, Pace MHP must optimize treatment system performance. The Division may
't require a facilities assessment and/or engineering alternatives analysis if the discharge does not
a meet�ermit limits more consistently. If it is determined to be necessary, the assessment would:
�°poQ ��(•5 Describe deficiencies and operational difficulties in the existing collection system and treatment
�g N facility that affect performance or permit compliance, and
ypv r� Identify potential improvements to improve performance/ compliance,
ll4� Estimate the cost of implementing those improvements, and
El Provide a schedule for their implementation.
c The alternatives analysis would evaluate, in particular, the feasibility of connecting to one of the
publicly owned wastewater utilities in the area.
�p1t This permit authorizes Pace Mobile Home Park to discharge up to 15,000 GPD of treated
wastewater to the unnamed tributary (UT) to Buffalo Creek, a class C NSW water in the Neuse River
Basin. The permit includes discharge requirements for flow, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD),
total suspended residue (MR), ammonia, fecal coliform bacteria, total residual chlorine, total
nitrogen, total phosphorus and pH.
The fmal permit includes the following modifications to your current permit:
• Pace MHP must install and maintain a sign identifying the wastewater discharge outfall.
Please note Special Condition A (4.) of the permit.
Summer and winter daily maximum limits for ammonia nitrogen have been added to
reflect the Division's current policy. According to the Code of Federal Regulations [40
CFR 122.45 (d)], continuous discharges "shall unless impracticable be stated as
maximum daily and average monthly discharge limitations for all dischargers other than
publicly owned treatment works...". The daily maximum limit is established based on a
ratio of 5:1 (daily maximum: monthly average) for non -municipal dischargers. The
corresponding daily maximum limits for ammonia nitrogen at the flow of 0.015 MGD are
10.0 mg/L for the summer and 20.0 mg/L for the winter.

A total residual chlorine (TRC) limit of 17 µg/L has been added to reflect the Division's
current policy for protection against chlorine toxicity instream. The TRC limit shall
become effective upon completion of the installation of a disinfection system but no later
than January 1, 2006. If a method different than chlorination/dechlorination is used,
the TRC limit [and monitoring for TRC) will not be required.
Monitoring and reporting requirements for total flow, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), and
nitrate -nitrogen and nitrite -nitrogen have been added. Note that you are already
collecting these data and the permit now specifies that you must report these parameters
separately on your Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs). This is a requirement for all
facilities discharging in the Neuse River Basin.
The design flow of the treatment system has been corrected to 0.015 MGD on the
supplement to cover page
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty
(30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition,
conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the office of
Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless
such a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding.
Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. The Division may require modification
(or revocation and reissuance) of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to
obtain other permits, which may be required by the Division of Water Quality, or permits required by
the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other Federal or Local
governmental permits may be required.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Jacquelyn Nowell

Recommendations May 29, 2003
Mr. Jerry Pace
Pace Mobile Home Park WWTP
NCO064246
Facility Description
Mr. Jerry Pace owns and operates a 0.015 MGD wastewater treatment plant in Wake County, serving
approximately 45 mobile homes. The treatment system consists of continuous flow metering
system, manual bar screen, equalization basin, dual aeration chamber, dual clarifiers, aerated sludge
holding chamber, dual air blowers, and tablet chlorinator.
Treated wastewater is discharged through one outfall into an unnamed tributary (UT) to Buffalo
Creek, which is a class C-NSW water. The UT Buffalo Creek is considered a zero -flow stream
(summer 7Q10 and 30Q2 flows = 0).
Permit Summary
The permit includes discharge limits for flow, BOD5 (9 mg/L), NH3-N (2 &.4 mg/L, summer &
winter), and fecal coliform bacteria. The draft permit also adds daily maximum limits for NH3-N
and for TRC (17 ug/L), consistent with current NPDES permitting. policies, and additional
monitoring requirements for nutrients.
The Division issued Mr. Pace eight penalties totaling $4,560 in 2001-03 for violations of BOD, NH3-N,
and fecal coliform limits. He has paid all penalties and the cases are now closed.
Public Comments
Mr. Joe Milhaus, Neuse River. Foundation:
• Has a history of NH3-N, BOD, DO and fecal coliform limits violations. Even though it only
serves 45 units, still impacts the receiving stream. Has upgraded the facility, is making an
honest attempt to comply, and has shown improvement over the last six months. Suspect
compliance is a function of lower flows through the plant. Recommend requiring a
wastewater management plan if flow goes over 12,000 gpd '- expect he cannot comply with
existing limits at the higher flow rate.
DWO Response: and Discussion
This is a small, privately owned, facility with limited resources. Compliance may become more
problematic at higher flows, even within the current flow limit. One approach (similar to the NRF's
suggestion) would be to require a facility assessment when limits violations reach a certain
frequency as the result of increased flow. It may also be appropriate to require an updated
engineering alternatives analysis. However, placing this burden on the permittee based on
antici ap ted violations is not good permitting practice. A better approach would be to notify the
permittee that these steps would be necessary if the plant does not meet its permit limits more
consistently. The Division can then monitor the facility's compliance and decide what action is
appropriate.
Staff noted during the pre -hearing site visit that the permittee is aerating his chlorine contact
chamber. This undermines the effectiveness of disinfection, and this practice must be stopped.

Summary and Recommendations
Pace Mobile Home Park W WTP, NC0064246
A line of concrete bags surrounded the ground -level package plant inside the security fence. The
bags are supposed to prevent stormwater runoff from flowing into the treatment units. The regional
office should confirm that excess water is not running onto the site and flowing into the treatment
tanks.
We surmised from our site visit that the receiving stream might be a play area for area children. In
2000, we required two permittees to install signage under similar circumstances, and it seems to be
warranted in this case as well.
Recommended Action(s)
The Raleigh Regional Office should verify that:
• the practice of aerating the chlorine contact chamber has ceased; and
• stormwater runoff is properly diverted around and not flowing into the treatment units.
/ The NPDES Unit should notify the permittee that it may require a facilities assessment and/or
A engineering alternatives analysis if the discharge does not meet permit limits more consistently. The
NPDES Unit should coordinate with the Compliance Enforcement Unit to monitor permit
compliance and require the assessment if warranted. The assessment should: bIV0V
— describe deficiencies and operational difficulties in the existing collection system and -1 / treatment facility that affect performance or permit compliance, and
— identify potential improvements to improve performance/ compliance,
— estimate the cost of implementing those improvements, and
— provide a schedule for their implementation.
The alternatives analysis should evaluate, in particular, the feasibility of connecting to one of the
publicly owned wastewater utilities in the area. N JI kJM
The NPDES Unit should add the following language to the permit: .1
A.(—.) OUTFALL SIGNAGE
Not later than 120 days after the effective date of this permit, the Permittee shall install and
thereafter maintain permanent signage identifying Outfall 001 as a wastewater discharge point.
Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Director, the signage shall conform to the following
specifications:
1. It shall be located in reasonable proximity to the outfall.
2. It shall be clearly visible to persons on the adjoining property and in or near the surrounding

• be located at least 3 feet above ground level
• at least two feet by two feet (2ft x 2ft) in size
• consist of black letters on a white field; the word "notice" to be at least 3 inches tall and the
remaining words to be at least 2 1/4 inches tall

Pace Mobile Home
NCO064246
Pace Mobile has had a history of compliance problems ranging from NH3 (nitrogen)
BOD (biological oxygen demand), DO (dissolved oxygen) to fecal violations, which is
why we chose to challenge this permit. Pace Mobile only has 45 units, which makes them
a relatively small contributor to the overall problems we have historically seen in the
Neuse. Nonetheless, these are public trust waters. The Neuse Basin wide plan, in order to
be effective, requires buy in from everyone in the basin. We cannot simply ignore the fact
that this facility has been out of compliance for years tegardless of its size.
With that said, we appreciate the efforts Pace has made in the last year or so.
They have upgraded their facility, making improvements to their flow meters. We feel
this facility is making an honest attempt to come into compliance. Unfortunately, they
still had several violations in 2002, but appeared to show improvement over the last six
months.
On the surface it would appear that this facility is finally coming into compliance, but
after reviewing their permit and the DMR's (Discharge Monitoring Reports), recent
improvements in performance can be attributed more to low flows rather than the recent
upgrades. Although the upgrades have certainly helped. Pace Mobile has a permitted flow
of 15,000 GPD (Gallons per day). In more recent months, their flow has dropped
significantly to 8000 GPD. DWQ (Division of Water Quality) should anticipate more
parameter violations if this Mobile home park reaches full flow capacity, let a lone
decides to expand.
As long as Pace continues to operate at the, continued flow, we feel this facility should be
able to stay in compliance. What we would like to see is Pace Mobile develop a waste
water management plan and be forced to comply with this plan, should their flow begin
to exceed 12,000 GPD. This facility operates under very tight limits (9 mg/l for BOD and
2mg/l for Ammonia) on a very small stream. There is simply no way this facility can
expand or remain in compliance if their flows were to increase, with out making
significant improvements to their wastewater plant. We can accept this facility operating
in compliance at the current flow levels, but we will not accept a facility that
continuously violates their permit without taking significant steps toward compliance.

Treated wastewater is discharged through one outfall into an unnamed tributary to
Buffaloe Creek, which is a class C-NSW water in subbasin 03-04-06 in the Neuse River
Basin. The UT Buffalo Creek is considered a low flow stream with an estimated summer
7Q 10 and 30Q2 flows = 0.
It should be noted that all waters in the Neuse River Basin are impaired in the fish
consumption use support category based methylmercury levels. Pace MHP does not
discharge mercury in its wastewater, therefore the impaired status does not apply.
Buffalo Creek is on the 303d list for impaired streams due to biological data. Pace MHP
discharges to an UT to this segment of Buffalo Creek, however the UT is not considered
impaired.
Buffalo Creek from a point 200 feet upstream from West Haywood Street near Wendell to
Little River is a 20.9 mile segment;

INSTREAM MONITORING:
Stream: Unnamed tributary to Buffalo Creek
Parameters: Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature
Recommended Upstream Site: Upstream at least 100 feet from the outfall
Recommended Downstream Site: Upstream at least 300 feet from the outfall 001
Self monitoring data was reviewed for the summer months of April through October for
the years 2000, 2001, and 2002. A review of twenty one months of data shows in the
past three years, the UT Buffalo Creek had only three summer months (May 2000, June
and July 2002) where there was no flow upstream of the discharge.
In April through October 2000 - In May 2000, there was no flow above the MHP and
therefore no measurement of upstream temperature or DO. The downstream average DO
in May 2000 was 6.38 mg/l. All other average DO levels both upstream and downstream
of the facility were above the water quality standard of 5 mg/1. There was a range of 5.2
mg/1 to 8.07 mg/1 upstream, and a range of 6.09 to 7.6 mg/1 downstream. There were
some instances of daily instream DO levels below the standard, however the overall
monthly average was above 5 mg/ 1.
In April through October 2001 - Average DO levels were above the standard in April, May
and June. In July through October, nearly all upstream and downstream DO levels
averaged below the standard, except for the August downstream DO average of 5.0 mg/l.
Upstream DO was in the range of 3.43 mg/1 to 4.78 mg/l while downstream DO levels
ranged from 3.94 to 4.74 mg/l.
In August and October 2002, average upstream DO levels were 3.48 and 2.48 mg/l,
respectively and corresponding downstream DO levels were 4.00 and 3.6 mg/l.
PROPOSED CHANGES:
• Addition of a total residual chlorine limit of 17 ug/l
• Addition of summer and winter daily maximum ammonia limits. The summer
daily maximum limit will be 10 mg/l; the winter daily maximum limit will be 20
mg/1
• Monitoring and reporting requirements for total flow, total kjeldahl
nitrogen(TKN), nitrate, and nitrite have been added. These parameters must now
be reported separately on the DMRs. Facility is already collecting this data.
PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE:
Draft Permit to Public Notice: April 23, 2003
Permit Scheduled to Issue: XXXXXX 2003
STATE CONTACT:
