Executive Summary Johnston County is constructing a new Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) to meet the future wastewater treatment demands of a growing service area. A new 4 million gallon per day (MGD) WWTF, known as the 210 Wastewater Treatment Facility, will be constructed to increase the County's treatment capacity from the current 9.5 MGD to 13.5 MGD. As designed, the facility will discharge stormwater to the "Unnamed Tributary of Middle Creek". Federal regulation requires facilities that treat domestic sewage at a design flow rate of at least 1.0 MGD be permitted under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Program before discharging stormwater to surface waters within the United States. Under the NPDES Stormwater Program, permits are issued to mandate the implementation of practices that manage potential sources of stormwater pollution at a facility with the goal of preserving the integrity of receiving waters. In the State of North Carolina, The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's (NCDEQ) Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) is responsible for issuing NPDES Stormwater permits. The new 4 MGD facility will be covered under the NCGI 1 General Permit to authorize the discharge stormwater from the facility. DEMLR has issued the latest No. NCGI I revision of the NPDES General Permit, which has an effective date of March 1 st, 2024, and will expire on February 28th, 2029. As part of the permit requirements, facilities must prepare a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP is to be a living document that records the selection and design of control measures that will be utilized at a facility to manage stormwater discharge. The SWPPP must reflect the most current site layout, operating procedures, and control measures/practices within the covered facility. Facility operators are required to implement the contents of the SWPPP, which must consistently align with the requirements of the NCGI 1 General Permit. Failure to comply with the requirements of the permit can result in civil/criminal enforcement action, permit termination, permit revocation and reissuance, or future denial of a renewal application. The SWPPP included herein has been prepared for the newly constructed 210 WWTF in adherence to the requirements of the No. NCG11 General Permit. This SWPPP includes the following: • Identification of the party responsible for implementation and revision of the SWPPP. • A description of the characteristics of the facility and overview of the activities that occur on a routine basis. • A description of the drainage system, stormwater control measures, and stormwater outfalls at the facility. < j 210 Wastewater Treatment Facility 2024 industrial SWPPP • A description of potential sources of pollutants within the facility including spills and leaks, chemical storage, and other potential sources that may contribute to unauthorized discharges. • A description of the control measures (CM) that will be implemented to prevent or manage unauthorized discharges from the facility. • A description of administrative aspects including inspections, monitoring, training, recordkeeping, and reporting procedures. As required in part I-1 of the NCGl1 General Permit for new facilities, this SWPPP will be implemented prior to the beginning of stormwater discharges at the facility, and will be updated, at minimum, on an annual basis. 2 210 Wastewater Treatment Facility 2024 Industrial SWPPP 2. Background Under the Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1972, the EPA developed and implemented NPDES programs intended to control water pollution from several program areas, i.e., municipal, industrial, and aquacultural, to protect waters of the United States. The NPDES Stormwater Program specifically regulates stormwater discharges from Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer Systems (MS4s), construction activities, and industrial activities. Operations that involve any of these activities may have to obtain an NDPES permit to be authorized to discharge stormwater to waters in the United States. For industrial activities, EPA regulations (40 CFR 122.26) identifies several categories that must be covered under an NPDES Permit, such as Light Manufacturing, Steam Electric Power Generating Plants, Transportation Facilities, and Treatment Works. Under the Treatment Works category, any industrial activity that involves the treatment of domestic sewage sludge, or wastewater treatment device used in the storage, treatment, recycling, reclamation of municipal or domestic storage, with a design flow of 1.0 MGD or more, must be regulated under an NDPES General Permit. Johnston County owns, operates, and maintains the Central Johnston County Regional WWTF, which is a 9.5 MGD wastewater collection and treatment facility that serves the towns of Smithfield, Selma, Pine Level, Four Oaks, as well as portions of Central Johnston County and East Clayton Industrial Area. To accommodate a growing service area, Johnston County is constructing a new 4 MGD WWTF, known as the 210 Wastewater Treatment Facility, adjacent to the County Landfill, which will increase the County's wastewater treatment capacity from 9.5 MGD to a combined 13.5 MGD. As designed, the new facility will discharge stormwater to an Unnamed Tributary of Middle Creek, and thus must receive NDPES permit coverage under the Treatment Works Category. The EPA delegated permitting authority of the NPDES program to most States. In North Carolina, NCDEQ's DEMLR is responsible for issuing NPDES Permits. DEMLR has issued the No. NCG1 1 General Permit, which has an effective date of March 1 st, 2024, and expires on February 28th, 2029. To obtain coverage under the NCG11General Permit, permittees must develop and implement a fully compliant SWPPP and submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) application with the appropriate application fees. The intent of the SWPPP is to document measures that will be taken by the facility to prevent, to the extent economically feasible and logistically practical, any unauthorized discharge of pollutants to receiving waters. The SWPPP records the selection, design, and installation of control measures, among other measures required by the permit. The SWPPP must reflect the most current site layout, operating procedures, and maintenance and stormwater inspection practices within the facility. Facility operators must ensure that the SWPPP is always aligned with the requirements of the General Permit to avoid causing a violation of surface water quality standards. Non-compliance with any conditions of the General Permit may constitute a violation of the Clean Water Act 3 210 Wastewater Treatment Facility 2024 Industrial SWPPP (CWA) and NPDES Permit Programs, and may lead to enforcement actions, termination of permit coverage, or denial of a permit renewal application. 3. Responsible Party (B-1) The SWPPP Team at the 210 WWTF is comprised of County employees who meet the following criteria: • Have knowledge of daily operations of the facility • Have attended employee training on the contents of this SWPPP and the requirements of NCG11 General Permit. • Have at least a basic understanding of hydrology/stormwater management. Each team member will play a role in the development, implementation, revision, and overall coordination of this SWPPP. All team members will be required to attend employee training, at minimum, on an annual basis and will have access to this SWPPP for their reference throughout the permit term. In the event a team member is unable to perform their role, their task would be delegated to other team members or a temporary substitute will be recruited from facility staff and trained to perform said role.

Description of Industrial Processes (B-4) All industrial activities at the 210 WWTF facility relate to wastewater treatment. As designed, the facility will treat 4.0 MGD of wastewater using several treatment processes including screening, settling, filtration, sodium hypochlorite disinfection, and aeration. The Preliminary Treatment Facility (PTF) is located onsite with structures for screening, removing grit, settling, and pumping of wastewater. Outdoor process areas include the BNR tank, clarifiers, sludge holding tanks, and septage receiving stations. Additional facilities include a mixed liquor distribution box, two (2) process basins, a blower building, RAS pump station, disk filters, and effluent pump station. Ancillary facilities include emergency power facilities, an electrical distribution building, and maintenance building. Biosolids or sludge treatment processes utilize the dewatering building with decanting centrifuge equipment, sludge holding tanks, solids holding tank, and septage receiving station. In addition to sludge, the solids holding tanks will receive leachate from the Johnston County Landfill located nearby. Septage delivered to the site will also be pumped to the solids holding tanks. All tanks are equipped with secondary containment systems to capture and route all leaks or spills back into the PFT. After treatment, sludge will be stored in a screenings dumpster located at the septage receiving site. The dumpster will be emptied by staff and will be combined with the screenings and grit from the PFT before being trucked to a permitted solid waste landfill facility. During normal operating conditions, dewatered sludge will be trucked 5 days a week to the Johnston County Landfill for beneficial use as an alternative daily cover. If the county landfill is unable accept the material, it will then be trucked to another permitted solid waste landfill, or to McGill Environmental composting facility, which accepts unstabilized wastewater treatment residuals and converts it to Class A compost material. All chemicals used in the wastewater treatment process are stored in chemical storage tanks or within the chemical feed buildings, away from any potential to be exposed to stormwater. Chemical deliveries are anticipated to be on a monthly basis and the chemical receiving station is equipped with secondary containment where any spills will be captured and routed to the PTF. A maintenance building located onsite will be used to for general storage of tools and spare parts to service treatment equipment along with lawn equipment storage. Oil and grease for process equipment preventative maintenance will be stored in the building in areas with containment bases or cabinets. All facility vehicles will be taken offsite for maintenance. There is also no vehicle washing station onsite. Any municipal waste generated within the facility is stored in waste collection bins located within buildings. Municipal waste would be collected and transported to the County landfill on a routine basis. 210 wastewater Treatment Facility 2024 Industrial SWPPP 6.1 Potential Pollutants in Stormwater Though unlikely, several activities have the potential to release pollutants to the stormwater system. These include spills at chemical fill stations, septage receiving stations, and the plant drain pump, spills from overfilling sludge storage or central equalization tanks, as well as fuel spills from the emergency generator. Table 3 below lists potential pollutants that may be released at each stormwater outfall at the 210 WWTF. Table 3: Potential pollutants that may be present in discharge from each stormwater outfall at the 210 WWTF Stormwater Outfall Potential Pollutant • Chemicals from chemical feed station • Fuel spills from generators SO-1 • Septage from clarifiers, BNR Basins, disk filters • Septage leaks from pump stations SO-2 • Septage from disinfection effluent box • Spills from dewatering building • Spills from maintenance building SO-3 • Vehicular oil leaks from parking lot • Spills from sludge holding tank 7. Evaluation of Stormwater Outfalls (13-5) No petition for representative outfalls is currently being requested at the facility. All three (3) stormwater outfalls (SO) will be sampled, inspected, and monitored per the requirements of the NCGI I General Permit (SWPPP Section B-12). The SWPPP Team will perform the follow evaluations at each SO at the facility: • Analytical monitoring (described further in Section 7.2) • Qualitative monitoring (described further in Section 7.3) • Non-Stormwater Discharge Monitoring (described further in Section 7.4) Evaluations of SOs will be weather dependent i.e., the SWPPP Team will not conduct any evaluations during adverse weather conditions. Adverse weather conditions are defined as conditions that are dangerous or create inaccessibility for personnel. These include flood conditions, high winds, electrical storms, or any other weather event that threatens the safety and wellbeing of the SWPPP Team personnel. Per NCGI I General Permit, adverse weather does not exempt this facility from monitoring requirements, so a substitute evaluation will be conducted during the next qualifying storm event to comply 8 210 Wastewater Treatment Facility 2024 Industrial SWPPP with the permit requirements. If/when encountered, the SWPPP Team will document the date, time, and a written narrative of the adverse weather and the rationale that prevented a scheduled evaluation. This documentation will be retained onsite with the SWPPP throughout the permit term. 7.1 Stormwater Outfall Description As shown on the Site Map of the facility (Attachment B), there are three (3) total SO at the facility, which discharges into the Unnamed Tributary of Middle Creek. Brief descriptions of the areas draining to the SOs are presented in Table 4 below. Table 4: Descriptions of the areas draining to the stormwater outfalls within 210 WWTF Stormwater i Drainage Area Description I _Outfall -ID-1 The drainage area (DA) draining to SO-1 has an area of approximately 6.71 acres and consists of most of the facilities used for wastewater treatment including BNR basins, secondary clarifiers, disk filters, SO-1 pump stations, material storage buildings, and disinfection effluent box. Stormwater runoff in this area is collected via several inlets and routed to SO-1 located at the southeast corner of the facility near the Sodium Hypochlorite storage and feed building. The area draining to SO-2 is approximately 0.89 acres that consists of a combination of paved roadways and pervious grassed areas. No SO-2 wastewater treatment process areas are included in this drainage area. One (1) catch basin collects and routes Stormwater to SO-2, which is located south of the disinfection effluent box. The area draining to SO-3 is approximately 2.20 acres and includes one SO-3 (1) of the three (3) sludge holding tanks, sludge holding tank blower, dewatering building, the maintenance building, the administration building and its associated parking lot. 7.2 Analytical Monitoring of Stormwater Discharges No exemption from analytical monitoring is currently being requested at the facility (SWPPP Section 13-13). The SWPPP Team will perform analytical monitoring of Stormwater discharge from each SO during a measurable storm event. A measurable storm event is defined as any storm event causing stormwater discharge from a SO. For each measurable storm event sampled, the total rainfall amount (inches) will be determined and recorded by an onsite rain gauge and regional rain gauge located within one (1) mile of the facility. 9 f , 210 Wastewater Treatment Facility 2024 Industrial SWPPP Samples will be collected quarterly with a minimum of thirty (30) days between each sample. The SWPPP Team will commence monitoring efforts during the first measurable storm event in the monitoring period that occurs during the facility's normal operating hours. Monitoring periods are as follows: • January 1 —March 31 • April 1- June 30 • July 1 — September 30 • October 1- December 31 Samples will be collected at the discharge point before the discharge joins or is diluted by any body of water of substance, which ensures samples are characteristic of the volume and nature of the discharge. Grab samples will be collected within 30 mins of the beginning of discharge from a SO and will continue until all SOs have been successfully sampled. For each sampled event, the SWPPP Team will complete the Stormwater Discharge Monitoring Report Form for NCG110000 Treatment Works included in Attachment C. The form will be completed, signed by the principal executive or duly authorized representative, scanned, and submitted online to DEMLR via the Stormwater NPDES Permit Discharge Monitoring Report Upload within 30 days of receiving the sampling results from the laboratory. The original signed hard copy of the form will also be sent to the Raleigh Regional Office of DEMLR. If there are instances of no stormwater discharge in a given sampling period, the SWPPP Team will still complete DMR report noting "no discharge". In these instances, the DMR will be submitted to DEMLR within 30 days after the end of the monitoring period. The SWPPP Team will also note "no discharge" in the SWPPP and in DEMLR's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report Form, which will be completed with each annual review/update of the SWPPP (See Section 14.2). Collected samples will be analyzed and reported for the following parameters: • Fecal Coliform • pH (within 15 minutes of collection) • Total Suspended Solids (TSS) • Non-polar oil and grease Collected samples will be sent to one the following laboratories for analysis: Laboratory: Johnston County Wastewater Laboratory Address: 200 East Huntley Street, Smithfield, NC 27577 Telephone: (919)-938-4728 Laboratory: MeriTech, Inc Address: 642 Tamco Road, Reidsville, NC 27320 Telephone: (336)-342-4748 Email: info@meritechlabs.com 10 210 Wastewater Treatment Facility 2024 Industrial SWPPP No velilcle maintenance is done onsite, ffieretore the permit requirement of tracking and recording the average monthly usage of new motor and hydraulic oil used for vehicle maintenance at the facility is not applicable for the 210 WWTF. 7.3 Qualitative Monitoring of Stormwater Discharges Qualitative monitoring will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the control measures implemented as described in this SWPPP. Qualitative monitoring serves as an inexpensive means of detecting new sources of stormwater pollution and prompt timely responses to implement the appropriate control measures. If significant stormwater contamination is detected, the SWPPP Team will begin an immediate investigation to find the cause of the contamination. Thereafter, an evaluation of the appropriate corrective actions will follow, and the necessary corrective measures will be taken within sixty (60) days of first discovery of the contamination. A written record of the investigation, evaluation, and corrective actions taken will be retained onsite with the SWPPP. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater discharge will be done via visual inspection of each SO at the facility. All visual inspections will be performed by SWPPP Team during the facility's normal operating hours and will be concurrent with the analytical monitoring of SOs (Section 7.2). Visual inspections will be recorded on the Stormwater Discharge Outfall Qualitative Monitoring Report (QMR) (Attachment C). One (1) form will be completed for each SO. 7.4 Non-Stormwater Discharges Each outfall will be evaluated on an annual basis for the present non-stormwater discharges. If non-stormwater discharges are identified, the source of the discharge would be investigated to determine if the source is allowable by rule or other permit or if corrective actions are necessary to terminate the discharge. Per the NCGI 1 General Permit, the following non-stormwater discharges qualify as "Allowable Non-Stormwater Discharges" and will be authorized to be discharged from the facility into surface water: • All discharges authorized by a non-stormwater NPDES permit. • Uncontaminated groundwater. • Springs. • Irrigation waters. • Air condition condensate without added chemicals. • Discharges from uncontaminated potable water sources. • Water from foot drains. • Flow from riparian habitats and wetlands. • Waterline and fire hydrant flushing. • Discharge resulting from emergencies at the facility: o Fire-fighting, o Emergency shower, 210 Wastewater Treatment Facility 2024 Industrial SWPPP o Emergency eye wash. All instances of non-stormwater discharge would be recorded in a written summary and a certification statement (Attachment D) will be signed by principal executive or duly authorized representative identified in Section 14.1. All written summaries will be retained onsite with the SWPPP. 12 210 Wastewater Treatment Facility 2024 Industrial SWPPP 8. Stormwater BMP Summary (B-6) Stormwater BMPs at the 210 WWTF focus on nonstructural practices to minimize exposure and transport of materials. Nonstructural BMP practices include: • Regular inspection and maintenance of industrial equipment • Regular inspection and maintenance of stormwater drainage networks • Ensure proper storage of materials and substances i.e., contained, covered, and away from exposure to Stormwater. • Ensure proper material handling practices are employed by staff • Ensure proper disposal practices are being employed by staff • Ensure any spill or leaks are collected and disposed of instead of being washed down stormwater drainage structures. • Onsite trash and debris collection and disposal • Employee trainings to raise awareness of stormwater pollution concerns. • Maintaining vegetative buffer between SO and surface waters, which will provide some stormwater treatment. There are currently no structural BMPs being implemented at the facility. In the event non-structural BMPs become inadequate for preventing polluted discharge as ascertainable by SO monitoring, appropriate structural practices will be employed at the facility to prevent polluted discharge from the facility. These may include: • Inlet protection devices • Stormwater control measures such as infiltration practices, retention basins, etc. to treat Stormwater before discharge. There will be no vehicular maintenance activities onsite and thus no associated BMPs. 9. Secondary Containment Plan (B-7) All bulk storage of liquid materials at the 210 WWTF will have Secondary Containment to provide spill containment during treatment operations. All containment systems are curbed and graded to drainage inlets which flow by gravity to a drain pump station. All drainage entering the drain pump station is discharged to the PTF for treatment. In addition, tanks are equipped with instrumentation and controls that prevent overfilling of tanks. Secondary containment systems are implemented at the following locations at the 210 WWTF: • Two (2) chemical buildings i.e., one containing sodium hypochlorite and the other containing MicroC, polyaluminum chloride, caustic, • The dewatering building, which contains polymers. • Generator which contains fuel. - ----------- - ----- - ------ - 13 210 Wastewater Treatment Facility 2024Industrial SWPPP , Although unlikely, any accumulated stormwater observed onsite will be visually inspected by the SWPPP Team for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens, and dry weather flow prior to release from the facility. All releases from secondary containment systems will be recorded and retained onsite with this SWPPP for a period of five (5) years. Records will include: • The name and title of the individual that made the observation • A description of the accumulated stormwater found onsite • Date and time of the release All secondary containment systems will be established prior to the beginning of discharges from the facility. no secondary containment devices are connected to the stormwater conveyance system and there are no hazardous substances stored onsite. 10. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (B-8) Leak and spill prevention at the 210 WWTF will focus on personnel training, performing scheduled maintenance and ensuring appropriate material handling practices are being employed at the facility. All employees will be trained or will be made aware of the spill response procedure and have access to contact information for the appropriate personnel, emergency response agencies, and regulatory agencies. Contact information will be posted at strategic locations throughout the facility and will be made available to all employees. All industrial equipment related to wastewater treatment system will be inspected and maintained on a routine basis to ensure proper working function and to minimize the potential defects that may lead to a leak or spill. All employees will be required to utilize careful and secure material handling techniques when lifting, transporting, refilling, removing, emptying, etc. any materials that may contribute pollutants to stormwater. All containers susceptible to spill will be clearly and plainly labeled to encourage cautious handling. In the event that a spill occurs, the following spill prevention and response procedure will ensue: 1. Spill location and source will be identified. 2. All pumps, valves, gates or any other contributor to the spill will immediately be switched off and the operator in responsible charge will be notified. 3. The operator will then contact other staff members and coordinate the procurement of equipment needed to contain and clean up the spill. 4. In the event a small spill or leak occurs, spill kits located strategically throughout the facility will be used to ensure rapid and thorough removal of the spill. Spill kits contain absorbative materials that absorb and retain spills or leaks for proper 14 210 Wastewater Treatment Facility 2024 Industrial SWPPP disposal-Emp oyI ees wilFEe proliiE—ited—from washing away spine -material-For large spills, the response procedure depends on the location of the spill within the facility. The Operator will procure outside equipment and other department personnel as and if needed. Backhoes may be used to create earthen berms, septic tank trucks or hydraulic pumps may be used to collect spills and pump it back into the wastewater treatment train. In the event large spills require additional support, emergency agencies will be immediately contacted. 5. Once a spill is successfully collected and removed from the site, site restoration will occur. Any contaminated soils will be disposed and replaced with clean soil. Vegetated areas that were disturbed will be reseeded to restabilized the area and prevent erosion. 6. Notification is made to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality within 24 hours, and written notification is made to the Department within 5 days, with details about the spill, how it was cleaned up and what measures were or will be put into place to prevent a future similar spill. 11. Solvent Management Plan (B-9) A solvent management plan is not applicable since no solvents are being used at the facility. 12. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program (13- 10) The Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program (PMGHP) at the 210 WWTF serves to ensure all industrial equipment, storage and handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and any other potential source of pollutants to stormwater are maintained in proper working condition to minimize any risk of leaks or other release of pollutants. Preventative maintenance is prioritized through daily inspections and maintenance of all equipment, treatment systems, and process areas at the facility. Following inspection, any areas or equipment where maintenance needs are discovered will be addressed. All equipment maintenance will be performed by qualified staff who have been trained to carry out each task. In addition to industrial equipment and process areas, all structures within the stormwater drainage network will also be regularly maintained to ensure proper drainage is maintained at the facility. Maintenance of stormwater structures may include cleaning, repairing, and replacing of inlets, manholes, pipes, and other stormwater drainage structure or control measure that may be implemented onsite. A maintenance/calibration log will be completed to document any maintenance and repair of equipment or stormwater control measure implemented at the facility 210 Wastewater Treatment Facility 2024 Industrial SWPPP ' (Attachment F).
