City of Kings Mountain — T. J. Ellison WTP
Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Wells:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
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 October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended).
The Division has reviewed your correspondence of July 28, 2008. We apologize for the considerable
amount of time that has passed since you submitted your comments to the draft permit. Based upon
those comments and reevaluations of data from the facility, this final permit includes the following
changes from the draft permit sent to you on June 18, 2008:
• The flow mdasurement method has been changed from continuous t0 an estimate due to the
intermittent nature of the discharge. However, if it is determined that using the filter backwash rate
is not a reliable estimate of actual flow to the receiving stream, the Division may require the facility
to implement a method capable of providing an accurate effluent flow measurement. Additionally,
the limit for flow has been removed from the permit.
• The monitoring requirement for whole effluent chronic toxicity has been retained from at a 0.89%
concentration. This concentration is based upon the estimated release of water from the reservoir
upstream of the outfall. The Division is unable to act upon your request to remove this monitoring
requirement; it part of the Division's permitting statewide strategy for discharges from conventional
water treatment plants. -Please be aware that at the present, this is simply a monitoring requirement,
with no associated compliance limit. This monitoring requirement may be modified -upon the next
permit renewal, depending upon the results of testing conducted during this permit cycle.
• Monitoring for Total Iron has been removed from the permit based upon a reasonable potential
analysis (RPA) of data from the facility. Monitoring for Calcium and Magnesium have also been
removed from the terms found in the draft permit.

NC0079740 Permit Renewal

The monitoring frequency for aluminum has been reduced to quarterly monitoring based upon a
reasonable potential analysis (RPA) of data from the facility. While the RPA indicated the facility
discharges aluminum in such concentrations that the water quality standard for this parameter should
be protected in the receiving stream, effluent values for aluminum are much higher than seen in most
conventional WTP discharges. The facility should examine its operations to determine if changes
can be made to reduce the discharge of aluminum into Buffalo Creek. Depending upon the results of
continued monitoring and toxicity testing, a limit may need to be imposed for this parameter.
• Because Buffalo Creek has been deemed impaired for turbidity, monitoring for turbidity has been
retained as found in the previous permit, as an upstream and downstream monitoring requirement.
Discharges from the facility should not raise turbidity levels above the 50 NTU water quality
standard, or raise the turbidity of the receiving stream if background levels are above 50 NTU.
Buffalo Creek is listed as an impaired stream on North Carolina's 303(d) list. This means that the
stream does not meet all water quality standards. Although non -point sources are believed to be the
main contributors to this degradation, the Division will continue to monitor discharges from your
facility. Should any additional degradation of the stream be attributable to the discharge, the Division
will take necessary steps, including modification of the permit, to ensure protection of surface water
quality.
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 demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. 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, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or
Local governmental permit that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Bob Sledge at telephone number (919)
807-6398, or via e-mail at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Coleen H. Sullins

A. (2.%CRONIC TOXICITY - MONITORING ONLY (QUARTERLY)
The permitte hall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Cerio aphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent
versions.
The effluent concen -ation defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 0.89 %. The testing
shall be performed as Ceriodaphnia dabia 7day pass/fail test. The tests will be performed during the
months of January, Ap , July and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted finale uent discharge below all treatment processes.
All tox.1plyltesting results re uired as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge itoring Form ( R-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
cod TGP3B. dditionally, D Form AT. (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC NR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 it Service Center
Raleigh, .C. 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms s all be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no
later than 30 days after the end of the repo ng period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and i clude all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, s well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be asured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility uring a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information to med at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe nu ber, county, and the month/year of the
report with the notation of "No Flow" in'the comment area f the form. The report shall be submitted
to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited a ve.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which to city monitoring is required, then
monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of 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 performe by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving strea , this permit maybe re-
opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this pe it, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted the DMR & all AT
Forms submitted.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as mi 'mum control
organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environment controls,
shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed n later
than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Hi Mr. Wells,
I enjoyed speaking with you on August 20. 1 hope you've had an opportunity to speak again with the staff to see what
turbidity limit you'd wish to see included in the permit (a 50 NTU limit at the end of the pipe for the effluent, or
upstream/downstream monitoring demonstrating the discharge does not raise the turbidity in the creek above the 50
NTU water quality standard). Please let me know at your earliest convenience which way the City would like to handle
this matter.
Thank you,

Hi Mr. Wells,
I apologize for sending this to you out of the blue after so long a wait on the City's part. My name is Bob Sledge, and I
work in a compliance and permitting unit within the Division of Water Quality. I sent the City a draft version of a NPDES
permit renewal for the City's water treatment plant in June 2008. You responded for the City in a July 25, 2008 letter,
asking for modifications to the proposed terms within the permit. I initially looked into your requests, but promptly
dropped the ball on this project. This e-mail is part of my efforts to get this matter moving forward again.
Since the draft was originally prepared, a good deal of time has passed and the Division has re-evaluated its WTP
permitting guidance. With the passage of time, the WTP also has submitted more data for particular parameters that
has made a difference as to how the permit should look. These changes have led to the development of a final permit
for the facility. A copy of the proposed final permit and the accompanying cover letter are attached. It is my intention
to have the permit issued this week, and I do not believe there is room for any modification of its terms, but I did want
you to be able to see it before it is sent out.
One matter I need to discuss with you is with regard to turbidity monitoring in the permit. Originally, this parameter
was removed in the 2008 draft permit. However, due to EPA's prompting, some form of turbidity monitoring must be
placed in WTP permits. Those facilities discharging to streams that are impaired for turbidity must receive a limit, but
permittees are being given an option. The Ellison WTP does discharge into an impaired stream. You may choose to
continue to monitor turbidity in the stream with a compliance judgment based upon whether or not the 50 NTU stream
standard is exceeded in the downstream sample, or you may monitor the effluent for turbidity and be given a 50 NTU
effluent limit. I took the liberty of placing the up and downstream option in the attached permit, but please let me know
if that is what the City would like to do.
Other changes are noted in the attached cover letter. Most should be seen as to the City's advantage when compared
to the terms of the 2008 draft. If you have time, please call me today or reply to this e-mail.
Thank you for your patience in this matter.

Attn: Mr. Robert L. Sledge
Dear Mr. Sledge:
J U L 2 q 2008 L
We hope you will consider this response concerning the draft permit #NC0079740
for the T.J. Ellison Water Treatment Facility. Although the cover letter on the draft was
dated June 18, 2008, we just received it July 16, 2008. After noticing the cover letter
date we tried to contact you July 24, 2008, and was informed by Ms Karen Russ that you
were out of the office until Monday July 28, 2008. Ms. Russ informed us to submit our
response to you as soon as possible.
We would like for you to take into consideration that this facility has been rated
as a Class I (one), and is not considered as Biological Treatment.
First of all, we have no way of monitoring our discharge other then estimating it
according to the filter backwash rate. The discharge to the creek is a batch flow, and not
a continuous flow. We would like for you to consider leaving our sample type for flow
as estimate.
Second of all, we would strongly like for you to consider waving the Whole
Effluent Toxicity monitoring. According to our Effluent concentration of 0.89% we find
it hard to believe that this discharge would/could have a toxic impact on the stream.
Once again this is only filter backwash water not wastewater.
Third of all, according to the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements
Footnotes (3) we would like to request a wavier for Calcium, Magnesium and
Manganese. Also, we would like for you to review the previous data submitted on Iron
and Aluminum, and if possible consider our request to waive those parameters.
The Historical City

Last but not least, we would like for you to consider changing the monitoring
frequency for Copper and Fluoride from Monthly to Quarterly.
Please consider our request on the above issues, and feel free to contact me if you
should need further information.
Sincerely,
Dennis R. Wells
Water Resource Director
City of Kings Mountain

Miscellaneous Comments
YES ✓ This is a SIMPLE EXPEDITED permit renewal (administrative
renewal with no changes, or only minor changes such as TRC, NH3,
name/ownership changes). Include conventional WTPs in this group.
YES: This is a MORE COMPLEX EXPEDITED permit renewal (includes
Special Conditions (such as EAA, Wastewater Management Plan), 303(d)
listed, toxicity testing, instream monitoring, compliance concerns, phased
limits). Basin Coordinator to make case -by -case decision.
YES_ This permit CANNOT BE EXPEDITED for one of the following reasons:
• Major Facility (municipal/industrial)
• Minor Municipals with pretreatment program
• Minor Industrials subject to Fed Effluent Guidelines (lb/day limits for BOD, TSS,
etc)
• Limits based on reasonable potential analysis (metals, GW remediation organics)
• Permitted flow > 0.5 MGD (requires full Fact Sheet)
• Permits determined by Basin Coordinator to be outside expedited process
