Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0078131
Brown Boulevard WTP
Craven County
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are
forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
dated May 9,1994 (or as subsequently amended).
This final permit includes no major changes from the draft permit sent to you on July 23, 2003:
This permit includes a TRC limit that will take effect on May 1. 2005. If you wish to install dechlorination equipment,
the Division has promulgated a simplified approval process for such projects. Guidance for approval of dechlorination projects
is attached.
The Division is aware of Havelock's plan to expand the discharge from this facility and cease discharge from the
Lynnwayne WTP (covered by permit NC0002917). The NC DENR Washington Regional Office (WaRO) has concerns about
potential impact to water quality from an expanded discharge at this facility. Also be aware that the Division's permitting strategy
for conventional WTPs is being updated. Future renewals of this permit may include a flow limit, as well as more stringent limits
on TRC and other parameters. We strongly recommend that you work closely with the WaRO to prevent potential compliance
problems that an expansion may cause. Contact Mr. Stephen Lane of the WaRO at [phone] to discuss this matter in more
detail.
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 Charles Weaver at [phone], extension 511.

This facility is currently in the process of expanding its water
treatment and discharge capacity to approximately double the current
volume. The Town plans to discontinue operation of their other water
treatment plant at Lynnwayne Circle and increase the volume treated at
the Brown Boulevard water treatment plant. It should be noted that
McCotter Canal is comprised mainly of freshwater runoff from the
city, although McCotter Canal is a tributary to Hancock Creek, which
is classified SC Swp NSW t is recommended that this
permit be renewed with a specified in the permit to limit
future expansion of the disobfirge volume until further study can be
done of the impacts of the qr
charge and possible alternatives to the
discharge. It is also recoded that additional limits be placed in
the permit for chlorides, to residual chlorine, and toxigity.

City of Havelock Water Plant Backwash Systems (Short Form A)
Craven County
Dear Mrs. Stephens:
The City of Havelock herein submits two permit application forms, one for each
of the City's Water Treatment Plant Backwash Systems. These two facilities were
previously designated as grade I wastewater treatment plants, but it is our understanding
that they were recently reclassified as grade I physical/chemical systems since there is
only settling involved and no biological treatment. These systems treat only the
backwash from the water treatment plant units. Domestic wastewater is discharged into
the City's sanitary sewer system, which is separate from these systems. Solids generated
from the two water plant backwash systems are disposed of through the City's land
application program covered under non -discharge permit WQ 0000702. A copy of that
sludge management plan is enclosed.
If you need further information, please do not hesitate to contact Susan Rexrode,
Public Utilities Director at [phone] or Phil Zukowski, Water Treatment Plant
Supervisor and Backwash System ORC at [phone].

MANAGEMENT PLAN
The residual solids management plan describes the process by which the residual solids from the City of
Havelock will be land applied to permitted acreage as an agricultural resource at agronomic rates. The
residual solids will be applied to row crops, coastal bermuda and fescue for hay production at
agronomic rates for total or partial replacement of conventional nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)
fertilizers. The actual amount of residual solids applied will be dependent upon the nutrient
•
requirement of the specific crop and the nutrient content of the residual solids.
Residual solids application scheduling will be dependent upon residual solids production, storage at the
respective treatment plant, and the crop management program. On fields utilized for hay production,
residual solids will be applied in split applications as is normally done when conventional fertilizers are
applied to hay land. These applications will correspond prior to grass growth in the spring, after each
cutting in the growing season,, or whenever most appropriate. On fields utilized for row crops, residual
solids will be land applied between crop rotations.
The fields will receive residual solids in an agronomic manner based on requirements listed in the
permit. Residual solids will be applied at agronomic rates which are limited by nitrogen loading rates.
An acceptable pH will be maintained in the soil, residual and lime mixture greater than 6.0 on all land
application sites with mineral soils to insure optimum yield for the crop being grown.
Prior to an application event, an application rate will be determined based on a current residual solids
nutrient analysis. Representative residual solids samples will be collected prior to the haul period and
composited for analysis.. This composite sample will then be delivered to a qualified laboratory familiar
with residual solids analysis and analyzed for ammonia nitrogen, nitratetnitrite nitrogen, percent total
solids, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium calcium magnesium, sodium, arsenic, mercury,
selenium, molybdenum, chromium, copper, zinc, cadmium, nickel, lead, aluminum, and pH. Plant
available nitrogen (PAN) will then be calculated from this residual solids analysis. This information will
be used to calculate the loading rate for the field and crop.
1

Once the appropriate application rate has been calculated, the residual solids will be removed from the
respective treatment plant and transported to the site in leak proof tankers adapted for liquid residual
solids. Tankers will then travel major traffic routes to the fields whenever possible. Once at- the field,
the tankers will proceed to a designated staging area. The liquid residual solids will then be transferred
to a residual solids applicator designed and operated to obtain an even application consistent with
agricultural requirements.
All residual solids will be removed from the staging area by the end of the • working day, unless
equipment breakdown or weather prohibits the residual solids application. At the start of each day, all
fields will be inspected by the field superintendent. Equipment will only enter a field when conditions
are appropriate for the application. Residual solids will only be applied when the field is capable of
supporting equipment. When field conditions are not appropriate for an application, such as during
wet periods, the residual solids will remain at the WRF until field conditions are suitable for land
application.
Prior to the residual solids operations, the field superintendent and appropriate Havelock personnel
will inspect the site. During the field inspection, the field superintendent will note the standard North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) buffer zones including: homes, drainage ditches, roads,
wells, surface water, and property boundaries (listed in Table 1). On the basis of these standard DWQ
buffers for land application programs, buffers will be established in the field. These buffers will be
identified in the field by the placement of pin flags.
