Basic Facility Information Facility Information Applicant/Facility Name: City of Statesville / Fourth Creek WWTP Applicant Address: P.O. Box 1111, Statesville, NC 28687 Facility Address: 693 Bell Farm Road, Statesville, NC 28625 Permitted Flow: 4.0 MGD / 6.0 MGD Expansion Facility Type/Waste: MAJOR Municipal; 96.5% domestic, 3.5% industrial' Facility Class: Grade IV Treatment Units: Influent pump station, 2 perforated panel bar screens, 2 aeration basins with mechanical aerators (6 per basin), waste and return sludge pumps (2 each), secondary wet well, 3 secondary clarifiers, hypochlorite disinfection, sodium bisulfite de -chlorination, aerobic digester with 3 mechanical aerators, 2 meter / 3 belt filter press, alkaline sludge stabilization Pretreatment Program (Y/N): Yes County: Iredell Region Mooresville Footnote: 1. Based on total permitted SIU flow of 0.14 MGD. Briefly describe theproposed permitting action andfacility background: The City of Statesville has applied for NPDES permit renewal, and submitted a renewal application dated 9/15/022, received by the Division Fact Sheet NC0031836 the next day. The cover letter stated that the 2nd species toxicity samples were not yet taken, but the Division would be alerted when they are. The 2nd species toxicity reports were submitted, sampled in September, October, November, and December 2022 with a fifth report from a test sampled in April 2023. Review of the application found it incomplete, with the Chemical Addendum, Mercury Minimization Plan summary report and the three Effluent Pollutant Scans missing. The missing information was received by request on 8/22/2023. This facility serves a population of approximately 25,000 residents and operates a pretreatment program with a long-term monitoring plan (LTMP) for both Fourth Creek WWTP and Third Creek WWTP (NC0020591) with four Significant Industrial User (SIUs), all metal finishers, that discharge to the Fourth Creek plant. Sludge Management Plan. Biosolids are disposed of through Class B land application by Synagro via Permit WQ0016247, and through the Statesville Class A permit WQ0006245. As stated in the submitted 2022 Headworks Analysis: "Fourth Creek sludge is all processed as Sta-Lime (lime stabilized sludge used as fertilizer)..." 2.

Fecal Coliform due to non -point sources. Subbasin/HUC: Yadkin -Pee Dee / 03040102 USGS Topo Quad: Statesville East, NC The receiving stream was assessed for Benthos most recently at Station QB200 at NCSR 2308 (Elmwood Rd) on 6/3/2003, yielding a rating of Fair. The same location has a Fish Community station QF16, which was most recently assessed on 7/28/2003, yielding a rating of Poor. The receiving stream is —40 miles upstream of the nearest water supply boundary, WS-IV for the Tuckertown Reservoir (a.k.a. High Rock Lake) in the Yadkin River. 3. Effluent Data Summary Page 2 of 17 Fact Sheet NC0031836 Effluent data is summarized below for the period May 2019 - November 2023. Table 1.

Page 3 of 17 Fact Sheet NC0031836 The current permit has two flow tiers, 4.0 and 6.0 MGD with the 6.0 MGD becoming effective upon the annual average flow exceeding 3.6 MGD, 90% of the 4.0 MGD permitted flow. The annual average flow did exceed 3.6 MGD in 2020 (Table 2), triggering the 6.0 MGD flow tier to become effective. Table 2. Annual Average Flows relative to the 4.0 MGD limit. Year Average Flow Percent of Permitted Flow 2019 3.24 81% 2020 3.71 93 % 2021 3.17 79% 2022 3.22 80% Jan — Nov 2023 2.97 74% The 6.0 MGD flow tier was placed in the permit in 1996 citing an AtC for the expansion issued to the City on 11/19/1987. This AtC requires submittal of an Engineer Certificate upon construction completion before the plant can operate at 6.0 MGD. No Engineer Certificate was received, despite construction having been completed in 1988 or '89 according to the City's water resources operations manager (pers. comm. 8/25/2023). The current renewal application includes a system component list with equipment matching those in the 1987 AtC, indicating that the upgrade equipment had been installed. A request was made to the City to provide verification that the plant's rating has increased to a capacity of 6.0 MGD; the verification letter was received on 8/31/2023. The 4.0 MGD effluent sheet has been removed from the permit. All evaluations in this Fact Sheet are for the 6.0 MGD flow tier only. 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): YES. Name of Monitoring Coalition: Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin Association (YPDRBA). If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will be proposed for this permit action: The current permit requires instream monitoring for DO, Temperature, Conductivity, and Total Hardness. The upstream location is at NCSR 2316 (Bell Farm Rd), —0.5 miles from the outfall, and the downstream location is —0.5 miles below the outfall. Instream monitoring is provisionally waived in light of the Permittee's participation in the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin Association (YPDRBA, monitoring coalition). Hardness monitoring (upstream only) is performed by the Permittee and is used in calculating allowable concentrations for certain dissolved metals that are hardness -dependent (see Section 6.4. — Reasonable Potential Analysis below). Page 4 of 17 Fact Sheet NCO031836 Data were available for review for the upstream YPDRBA station Q3720000, located at the permitted upstream location, but no downstream YPDRBA station was nearby. Instead, data were available from DWR Ambient Monitoring System's (AMS) Station Q3735000, located at NCSR 2308 (Elmwood Rd), —2.6 miles from the outfall. Data from both stations spanning January 2019 through December 2022 were reviewed and checked against applicable stream standards as well as for effluent impacts, the latter via statistical testing of downstream averages against the upstream average of each parameter using t-test with the level of significance (p-value) set at 0.05. The data are summarized in Tables 3 and 4 and discussed below. Table 3. Instream Data Summary: averages with ranges in parentheses. *Statistically significantly different from Upstream. Parameter, units Upstream Downstream Standard DO, mg/L Avg = 8.6 Avg = 9.2* 5.0 (6.7 — 11.8) (6.0 — 13.9) Temperature, °C Avg = 16.5 Avg = 16.0 32.0 (4.7 — 25.7) (1.4 — 26.3) Conductivity, µmhos/cm * NA (87 — 154) (70 —168) Fecal Coliform, cfu/100 mL Geomean = 801 Geomean = 377* (40 — 7900) (36 — 13,000) Dissolved Oxygen (DO) — DO is in the permit as a parameter of concern for aquatic life. Summer minima of both stations were all above the stream standard of 5.0 mg/L. A statistically significant difference was found between the upstream and downstream stations with downstream average higher. The facility is meeting its DO limits consistently and the downstream DO was seen at levels both above the standard and above the upstream on average. Based on the review, it doesn't appear that the effluent has any negative impact on the receiving stream. Temperature — Temperature is in the permit as a parameter of concern for aquatic life. Summer maxima at both stations were below the 32°C standard for lower piedmont and coastal plain waters. Since the data were not collected synchronously between stations, up- to downstream increases could not be assessed. No statistically significant differences were found between the upstream and downstream stations. Concurrent effluent temperatures appear higher, with substantially higher winter minima. However, this does not appear to be impacting the receiving stream. Conductivity — Conductivity is in the permit as an indicator of industrial sources. The Town has an active pretreatment program with four SIUs, all metal finishers. Specific Conductance was monitored instream, a parameter related to Conductivity, but at 25°C. A statistically significant difference was found between the upstream and downstream stations with downstream average reporting higher. Concurrent effluent average Conductivity is over 2 times higher than instream on average, thus affecting the instream specific conductance. Fecal Coliform — Fecal Coliform is not in the permit based on Division guidance that this parameter may be removed unless the receiving stream is either Class B or impaired for Fecal Coliform. The receiving waters of Fourth Creek do meet these criteria, but data are available from the YPDRBA and AMS for review. Log -transformed Fecal Coliform data were tested to find the downstream to be significantly lower than the upstream. Concurrent effluent data had a much lower geomean, thus not impacting the stream. Instream fecal coliform is not required and is not be added to the permit. Page 5 of 47 Fact Sheet NC0031836 In addition to the above permit -required parameters, both the YPDRBA and DWR-AMS monitored for Ammonia, pH, Inorganic Nitrogen (NO2+NO3), Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), Phosphorus and Turbidity. Their data were reviewed as above and summarized below. Table 4. Additional Instream Parameter Data Summary: averages with ranges in parentheses. *Statistically significantly different from Upstream. Parameter, units Upstream Downstream Standard Ammonia, mg/L Avg = 0.11 Avg = 0.15 NA (0.02 - 0.33) (0.02 - 0.55) pH, SU Avg = 6.8 Avg = 7.2* 6.0 - 9.0 (5.5 - 7.4) (6.6 - 7.8) Inorganic Nitrogen, mg/L Avg = 1.01 Avg = 1.17* NA (0.57-1.30) (0.55 - 2.20) TKN, mg/L Avg = 0.56 Avg = 0.64 NA (0.24 - 1.83) (0.03 - 2.80) Total Phosphorus, mg/L Avg = 0.08 Avg = 0.15* NA (0.02 - 0.19) (0.03 - 1.00) Turbidity, NTU Avg = 33.1 Avg = 33.4 50 (8.2 - 140) (3.8 - 500) Review of the above additional parameters found significant increases in downstream pH, NO2+NO3 and Total Phosphorus. Since all pH data were within the water quality standard range, instream monitoring for this parameter is not considered to be needed in the permit. Because of nutrient issues of High Rock Lake and the increases found downstream of the outfall, instream monitoring for TKN, NO2+NO3 and Total Phosphorus were added to the permit at monthly frequency. 5. Compliance Summary Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): From August 2018 through July 2023 the facility had reported exceedances in Flow, Ammonia, Fecal Coliform, Total Copper, and Ammonia, resulting in various enforcement actions (see Table 5). Table 5. Effluent monitoring violations summary, August 2018 - July 2023. Weekly Monthly Daily Notices of Notices of Enforcement Parameter Average Average Maximum Deficiency Violations Cases Exceedances Exceedances Exceedances Flow 0 8* NA 4 3 0 Fecal Coliform 1 0 NA 0 0 1 Total Copper NA 1 2 0 1 0 Ammonia 1 j 3 j NA j 0 0 4 *Exceedences of the 4.0 MGD flow limit, which is no longer in effect. Page 6 of 17 Fact Sheet NC0031836 Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results (past S years): The facility passed 21 of 23 quarterly chronic toxicity tests (with one invalid test and one test failure with subsequent passes), as well as all four second species chronic toxicity tests, sampled on 9/19/2022, 10/10/2022, 11/14/2022, and 12/5/2022 plus a fifth second species test, collected on 4/17/2023. Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The most recent facility inspection, conducted on 3/10/2023, reported that overall the facility appeared to be properly maintained and operated. No compliance issues were reported. 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. If permit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed: Limitations for BOD are based on a Streeter Phelps model (Level B), run in 1987 for instream DO protection. No changes were made to the BOD limits. 6.3. Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing ammonia chronic criteria 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 Ammonia permit limits of 2.0/6.0 mg/L monthly/weekly average in summer and 4.0/12.0 mg/L monthly/weekly average in winter at 6.0 MGD (those at 4.0 MGD no longer apply as the facility's annual average flow had exceeded 90% of 4.0 MGD in 2020, thus triggering effectiveness of the 6.0 MGD flow tier) are based on a Level B model run in 1987 for protection of the DO standard. A NH3/TRC Wasteload Allocation (WLA) was run to evaluate against ammonia toxicity using the annual 7Q10s of 7.5 cfs and 7Q 1 Ow of 11.3 cfs, yielding more stringent allowable concentrations of 1.6/4.8 mg/L in summer and 3.7/11.1 mg/L in winter, and are proposed as revised limits. Comparing the effluent data with the proposed limits it appears that the facility may not be able to consistently meet them (Fig. 1). Page 7 of 17 Fact Sheet NCO031836 Proposed Ammonia Limits • W k Avg ■ Mo. Avg WA Limit — — MA Limit 12 10 8 J C 6 — C 4 4 2 ■ — 0 2/4/2019 6/18/2020 10/31/2021 3/15/2023 7/27/2024 To allow the City an opportunity to devise and implement an action plan to reduce effluent Ammonia concentrations to meet the proposed limits, a three-year compliance schedule was added to the permit at the City's request. The TRC limit is capped at 28 µg/L from prior WLA analysis and is confirmed by the WLA rerun. The TRC limit is maintained in the permit. 6.4. 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 (RP), 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 for use in the RPA. The data were obtained from Permittee-submitted DMRs and averaged 46.5 mg/L (effluent) and 44.5 mg/L (upstream). A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between December 2014 and September 2017 for the following parameters: arsenic, cadmium, total chromium, copper, cyanide, lead, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, silver, and zinc. 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: Page 8 of 17 Fact Sheet NC0031836 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: o Total Copper: MA = 23.8 µg/L; DM = 30.9 jig/L. These limits when rounded are the same as those in the current permit. 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: Total Chromium, Chromium IV, Total Lead, Total Nickel and Total Zinc. o Total Chromium, Chromium VI —monthly monitoring based on 1 result > Allow. Cone. for Chromium VI o Total Nickel — monthly monitoring based on 1 result > Allow. Cone. 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, Cadmium, Total Phenolic Compounds, Cyanide, Molybdenum, Selenium. POTW Effluent Pollutant Scan Review: Three effluent pollutant scans (February 2020, April 2021 and August 2022) were evaluated for additional pollutants of concern. The following parameters were detected in the scans and evaluated: Chloroform, Toluene, Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate. 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- ethylhexyl) phthalate, Chloroform, Toluene. 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. 6.5. Toxicity 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 is a Major POTW with a chronic WET limit of 45% at 4.0 MGD flow and 55% at 6.0 MGD flow. Since the 4.0 MGD flow tier is no longer applicable, it was removed and quarterly monitoring with 55% limit at 6.0 MGD is maintained. 6.6. 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 Page 9 of 17 Fact Sheet NC0031836 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. Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: Since no annual average mercury concentration exceeded the WQBEL at 6.0 MGD, and no individual mercury sample exceeded the TBEL (Table 6), no mercury limit is required. This takes into account the removal of one high value of 54 ng/L on 3/1/2019, which was found to be the result of a sample preservation error by the analytical laboratory. Since the facility is > 2 MGD and has reported quantifiable levels of mercury (> 1 ng/L), the Mercury Minimization Plan (MMP) requirement is maintained in the permit. Table 6.

Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation within this permit: The receiving stream, Fourth Creek, flows via the Yadkin River to High Rock Lake, which is impaired for Chlorophyll a, pH and Turbidity. Chlorophyll a and pH impairments are associated with algal blooms that are caused by excessive nutrient loadings to the lake. A nutrient TMDL was planned for High Rock Lake, and Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) monitoring was increased from monthly to weekly in 2001 for its development. Due to its location, the facility is a potential source of nutrient loadings to High Rock Lake and may be subject to future limitations resulting from the nutrient strategy once developed and implemented. The Division is working with the North Carolina Nutrient Criteria Development Plan Scientific Advisory Council to develop criteria for TN, TP or related parameters. A nutrient re -opener special condition has been added to the permit to allow the Division to insert any limits resulting from a TMDL, management strategy and/or nutrient criteria once implemented. To better understand the total nitrogen in the effluent, weekly monitoring for Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) and Nitrate -Nitrite (NO3+NO2) has been added to the permit. In addition, monthly instream monitoring for nutrients (TN, TKN, NO3+NO2 and TP) has been added to the permit with the waiver for participation in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin Association monitoring coalition to be consistent with other instream monitoring requirements. 6.8. Other WQBEL Considerations If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: In the Chemical Addendum, the facility reported only 1,4-Dioxane as expected due to their receiving industrial waste from metal finishers, but they have not sampled their effluent for this chemical. The allowable concentration for 1,4-Dioxane to meet the instream target value (ITV) of 80 µg/L for the Class C receiving stream is 480 jig/L. The receiving stream lies —40 miles from the nearest downstream water supply watershed boundary for the Tuckerman Reservoir (a.k.a. High Rock Lake) in the Yadkin River. The allowable concentration to meet the ITS of 0.35 µg/L at the water supply boundary is 160 µg/L. To assess the actual levels of 1,4- Dioxane in the effluent, a quarterly monitoring requirement has been added to the permit with the option for the Permittee to request re-evaluation of 24 months of data for possible monitoring reduction to annually. Page 10 of 17 Fact Sheet NC0031836 Due to the pervasiveness of PFAS chemicals in the environment, the presence of a downstream water supply and the facility's receiving industrial waste from four metal finishers, a category recognized by the EPA as a source for PFAS, quarterly PFAS monitoring was added in the permit along with pretreatment requirements as recommended by EPA guidance (memo: 12/5/2022). See Section 10 — Monitoring Requirements below for details. 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: A three-year compliance schedule for the revised Ammonia limits was added to the permit to allow the City the opportunity to develop and implement an action plan to come into compliance with these more restrictive limits. 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 mg/L BODs/TSS for Monthly Average, and 45 mg/L for BODs/TSS for Weekly Average). YES. If NO, provide a justification for alternative limitations (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA. Are 85% removal requirements for BODs/TSS included in the permit? YES. Review of the influent and effluent data for both parameters found 40 occurrences of < 85% BOD removal and 23 occurrences of < 85% TSS removal. Several of these occurrences involve low influent BOD/TSS concentrations, suggesting issues with inflow and infiltration (I&I). The renewal application indicates an average of 0.015 MGD I&I or 0.46% of the reported average flow of 3.26 MGD. The application also reports that the City is continuing its water and sewer maintenance via camera inspection of lines for cracks and blockages. 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 2B.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit must document an effort to consider non -discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.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. Page 11 of 17 Fact Sheet NCO031836 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. To identify PFAS concentrations in waters classified as Water Supply (WS) waters, monitoring requirements are to be implemented in NPDES permits with pretreatment programs that discharge to WS waters. Since the WWTP's outfall is —40 miles upstream of the nearest water supply boundary and as the WWTP receives wastewater from industries recognized as potential sources of PFAS via a pretreatment program, monitoring of PFAS chemicals has been added to the permit. Currently, EPA Method 1633 is finalized (as of January 31, 2024) but not yet published in the Federal Register as an approved test method. Upon evaluation of laboratory availability and capability to perform the analytical method, it was determined that the sampling may be conducted using the 3rd draft method or more recent version of Method 1633. Influent and effluent quarterly monitoring have been added to the permit with analysis using the method until Method 1633 becomes approved via publication in the Federal Register. Sampling using the method shall take effect the first full calendar quarter following 6 months after the effective date of the permit to provide the City time to select a laboratory, develop a contract, and begin collecting samples. Data shall submit data to the Division via a spreadsheet provided by the Division. Effective 6 months after the final Method 1633 is published in the Federal Register as part of 40 CFR 136, the City shall conduct influent and effluent monitoring using the approved method and submit data via eDMR. In addition to monitoring at the WWTP, the City shall identify and monitor SIUs suspected of discharging PFAS compounds [see A.(9.)(c.)(i.)] within 6 months of the permit effective date. The City shall update their Industrial Waste Survey (IWS) to identify indirect dischargers of PFAS contributing to concentrations experienced at the Fourth Creek WWTP. A summary of information learned during this process will be provided as part of the 2024 Pretreatment Annual Report (PAR). Within 6 months of completion of the IWS, the City shall begin sampling of indirect dischargers identified as potential PFAS sources at a quarterly frequency. For a detailed outline of the specific PFAS requirements, see Special Condition A.(9.) PFAS Monitoring Requirements. As the Fourth Creek WWTP accepts influent wastewater from industrial facilities that are potential sources of 1,4-Dioxane via the approved pretreatment program, and as the discharge lies upstream of a WS water, monthly effluent monitoring for 1,4-Dioxane as well as a 1,4-Dioxane reopener condition have been added Page 12 of 17 Fact Sheet NC0031836 to the permit. After a 24-month sampling period, the Permittee may request the Division conduct a review of submitted data for assessment and approval of a 1,4-Dioxane monitoring frequency reduction from monthly to quarterly. 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. 12. Summary of Proposed Permitting Actions: Based on the facility's annual flow exceeding 90% of the 4.0 MGD permitted flow tier in 2020 and the Division has received verification that all authorized equipment for the 6.0 MGD flow tier has been constructed and/or installed, the effluent sheet with all requirements for the operations at 4.0 MGD have been removed from the permit. Permit conditions, limits and their proposed changes at 6.0 MGD are summarized in Table 6 below. Table 6. Current Permit Conditions and Proposed Changes at 6.0 MGD 1.

Fact Sheet Addendum (if applicable) Were there any changes made since the Draft Permit was public noticed (Yes/No): Yes. Copies of the draft permit and fact sheet were sent to the City, EPA and various internal DWR parties. Comments were received from the City with the following requests: 1) include a compliance schedule for Ammonia limits, 2) delay PFAS sampling until after EPA publishes Method 1633 as a 40 CFR Part 136 approved method; and 3) include Fact Sheet attachments for review. No comments were received from any other party. Division responses are below. If Yes, list changes and their basis below: Division responses to the City's comments are as follows: 1. A three-year compliance schedule for the revised Ammonia limits was added to the permit as requested. 2. The facility is discharging upstream of a water supply watershed and receives wastewater from multiple industries recognized by the EPA as potential PFAS sources. As such, the Division is Page 16 of 17 Fact Sheet NC0031836 expediting collection of data for PFAS compounds from POTWs with pretreatment programs. The Division will provide a separate submittal form for reporting to be used instead of e-DMR until EPA Method 1633 is published as a 40 CFR 136 approved method in the Federal Register. See Special Condition A.(9.)(b.) on page 10 of the draft permit. The attachments to the draft Fact Sheet were compiled with the Fact Sheet as a single pdf and sent to the City on 2/26/2024 per request. Due to the Ammonia compliance schedule being added, the draft permit was sent to a second public notice. Copies of the second draft permit and fact sheet were distributed to the same recipients as for the first draft. No comments to the second draft permit were received by any party and no changes were made. 16.

Learn why this is important [NOTICE: This message originated outside of the City of Statesville mail system -- DO NOT CLICK on links or open attachments unless you are sure the content is safe.] Good morning Andy, As you may know, I am working on the Fourth Creek WWTP NPDES permit renewal. In reviewing the effluent data, I found some seemingly outlier data I need verified. These are: • Cadmium = 39 ug/L on 4/15/2021 • Chromium = 39 ug/L • Copper = 35 ug/L on 7/1/2022 and 202 ug/L on 7/18/2023 • Copper = 35 ug/L on 7/1/22 and 202 ug/L on 7/18/23 • Nickel = 78 ug/L on 4/15/2021 • Nickel = 78 ug/L on 4/15/2021 • Selenium = 10 ug/L on 7/12/2022 • Selenium should have been entered as < 10 ug/L • Silver = 5 ug/L on 7/12/2022 • Silver should have been entered as < 5 ug/L Thanks for your help and happy new year, Gary Email correspondence to and from this address may be subject to the North Carolina Public Records Law and may be disclosed to third parties by an authorized state official.

The US EPA subsequently approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016, with some exceptions. Therefore, metal limits in draft permits out to public notice after April 6, 2016 must be calculated to protect the new standards - as approved. Table 1.

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/WQBELs 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, 7Q 10 (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. NCO031836 The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows: Combined Hardness (chronic) _ (Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. 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 IQ 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(I+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)-s7Q10) (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: IQ 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity Page 3 of 4 Permit No. NC0031836 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. 10.

Gary, The 54 on 3/1/19 was supposedly a 1631 sample... but... Here is a copy of the email exchange regarding the low-level mercury samples. I included the actual email in the previous response, but here is a copy / paste of what was sent: Meritech 1631 Clients. Please read below.... You recently submitted samples for analysis for EPA method 1631 Low level mercury that, because of the ongoing issues with our equipment, were subcontracted to Summit Labs in Ohio. When we receive 1631 samples in our lab they have to be preserved with BrCI within 48 hours, so obviously we do so to extend the hold times. However, When Summit labs received them they also preserved them, even though the CoC we sent clearly shows that we had already done so. (see attachment). We believe this directly accounts for the unusually high results we received in all of the samples and therefore requested that the results be invalidated. I realize that the time for submitting to DWQ has past, but with this information you may be able to take some action that could help rectify your individual situations. I do believe Summit labs does good work. And, now that they know that our samples will come to them ready to run, we will continue to send samples there until our issues here are solved; unless directed to do otherwise. I apologize for all of the trouble. If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. This was sent from Summit to Meritech regarding this sample that resulted in the 54: Mr. Merritt, Samples were submitted for low level mercury analysis (Summit WO# 18100228). These samples arrived preserved with BrCI. The samples should have been neutralized and analyzed, but the analyst inadvertently digested samples again with BrCI, thus potentially invalidating the laboratory data. As such, we request that the customer re -collect the samples and use hydrochloric acid (HCI) as the preservative, per our analytical procedure. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause the customer. Sincerely, Robert Ramnarine Quality Supervisor Summit Environmental Technologies, Inc. 3310 Win Street Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44223 1-330-253-8211 For some reason, the scanner is not emailing the page from Summit showing the method is EPA 1631E, but I confirm that is the method on the Chain of Custody (picture attached).
