All samples collected must be of a representative discharge.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

Permit NC-0082767
A. (2) CHRONIC TOXICITY MONITORING (QUARTERLY) -DRAFT
The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent
versions.
The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document s 90 %. e testing
shall be performeli as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 7day pass/fail test. The tests will be pert rmed during the
months of February, May, August, and November. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed
at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
sch a Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code i
GP3B. .Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, N.C. 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 and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. 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, then
monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test
requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
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.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted on the DMR and AT
Forms.
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.

BACKGROUND
The Town of Spruce Pine, operates a 1.6 MGD capacity conventional drinking water treatment
facility that serves the Spruce Pine community. A contract service is operating this facility. Since
its start up, the facility has diverted its backwash wastewater to the local WWTP. However, the
Town of Spruce Pine wants to continue to maintain its NPDES permit for this discharge as a
viable back up.
PROCESS
Two anthracite multimedia gravity filters, provide post filtration of the treated raw water from
the chemical flocculation section of the drinking water treatment process. On intermittent bases,
the filters are backwashed with a portion of finished drinking water estimated to be 20,000 gpd
per filter. Backwash water meters are available to estimate the total backwash volume. The
backwash water from the filters is accumulated in a settling tank The finished drinking water is
chlorinated but not fluorinated nor is a zinc -based corrosion inhibitor added.
Currently, the contents of the tank are sent to the W WTP. To send the contents of the tank to the
NPDES outfall, first the contents would remain in the settling tank to allow the solids to settle
out. Then the wastewater would be decanted to a gravity sewer line that terminates at a culvert
on Elm Street. The culvert eventually empties into Beaver Creek As needed, the accumulated
solids in the settling tank would be removed and taken to the W WTP for further processing.
HISTORY
The facility was given a compliance date of October 1, 2007 for TRC in its current permit. The
Permittee has opted not to install equipment, nor establish a contingency for, meeting the TRC
compliance. As of August 1, 2006, the Permittee was granted a waiver on submittal of DMR
Fact Sheet
NPDES NC0082767
Page 1 of 2

until such time he discharges to the outfall. There were some issues with DMR submittal being
late prior to the waiver.
PERMITTING STRATEGY
There was no data to review. But the Division's current Water Treatment Plant Strategy Policy
was applied. Settleable Solids monitoring and instream Turbidity sampling were removed. The
Aluminum and Iron monitoring were reduced to quarterly to coincide with future toxicity testing.
Flow and TRC monitoring were reduced to 2/month.
Parameters added to the permit included effluent monitoring for pH, Turbidity, Total Copper,
Total Manganese, and freshwater Chronic Toxicity. There is no applicable stream flow data so
the IWC% = 100%, resulting in the chronic toxicity test concentration % = 90%. The pH will
also include a range limit.
Since the TRC compliance date has past, the facility must be in compliance. The TRC footnote
will be revised to define the current chlorination definition and measurement protocol. To
reinforce the TRC compliance status, the cover letter will provide additional narrative.
No nutrient monitoring is required.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
In keeping with Division policies the following will be incorporated into the permit:
• Effluent limitation/monitoring for Settleable Solid and instream Turbidity monitoring
will be removed.
• Effluent monitoring for Iron and Aluminum will be reduced to quarterly.
• Effluent monitoring for Flow and TRC will be reduced to 2/month.
• Effluent limitation/monitoring for pH will be added.
• Effluent monitoring for Turbidity, Total Copper, Total Manganese, and Chronic
Toxicity will be added.
• TRC footnote narrative will be revised.
• A Special Condition for Chronic Toxicity Monitoring will be added.

Dear Mrs. Sprinkle:
The Town of Spruce Pine handles sludge in the following manner. The Sludge that is generated from
the backwash process at the Spruce Pine Water Treatment plant can be disposed of in two methods.
The method that is commonly used and is in place at this time involves processing the sludge at the
Spruce Pine Waste Treatment plant. The backwash water is emptied into the city sewer and
processed as regular waste water. The process at the waste water plant includes dewatering of the
sludge by a belt filter method. The dewatered sludge is then transported to the Iris Glen Landfill in
Johnson City Tennessee.
The purpose of the discharge permit is to ensure a backup method of disposing of the backwash water.
The backwash water is emptied into a storage tank and allowed to dewater, the water level in the tank
can be lowered by allowing it to enter into the receiving stream. The sludge can then be pumped from
the tank and disposed of by delivering it to the Spruce Pine Waste Treatment Plant at which time it is
further dewatered and delivered to the Iris Glen Landfill in Johnson City Tennessee.
Attached per your request is a flow schematic.
If you have questions or need further information please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your
assistance in this matter.
