Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO026921
Parkton WWTP
Robeson County
Dear Mr. Green:
The Division received your application for a wastewater discharge permit on June 29, 1999. Division
personnel have reviewed and approved your application. 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 December 6, 1983, and as subsequently amended.
There are currently 11 streams in the Lumber River Basin that have fish consumption advisories for
mercury, and appear as impaired waters on the North Carolina 1998 303(d) list. In order to evaluate the relative
contribution of mercury from NPDES point source discharges, mercury monitoring of effluent and sludge has
been added to this permit. This data will then be used to develop a mercury management strategy, by allocating
allowable mercury loads to known sources (both point and nonpoint). The ultimate goal of the mercury
management strategy is to reduce mercury concentrations in fish tissue and eliminate the need for fish -
consumption advisories in this basin.
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, Post Office Drawer
27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447. 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 telephone number
[phone], extension 511.

A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the
"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent
versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or
subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July & October.
Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all
treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below
the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the
two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration. having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that
does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment,"
collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase
II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the
pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value.
Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental. Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30
days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate
signature. Total Residual Chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is
employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a mouth in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the
report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to
the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be
required during the following month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-
opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall
constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day
of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.
A. (3.) SLUDGE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The permittee shall monitor the sludge generated by this facility for mercury.
❖ Sludge samples shall be collected on a semi-annual basis.

intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point: "Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow
recorder and.totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at
no,g'reater than 1/24 of the expected total daily, flow at the treatment system, or,
(3) a single,'continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional, to the rate of flow.

3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense '
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that. it would have been necessary
to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this
permit.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions.
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the .collection system,: which is not a designed or established. or operating
mode for the.facility. ;
(2) "Severe property damage" means physical damage to property, damage to the
treatment- facilities which causes them to become inoperable,j or substantial and permanent '
loss of natural resources ' which can' reasonably -be , expected to ; occur: in the absence of a
bypass. • Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in
production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which -does not cause effluent limitations to be
exceeded; but only if it also is for. essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.. These
of this
bypasses are not subject to the provisions of,Paragraphs c. and d. section
c. Notice f�
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, -it shall
submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the.bypass; including an
- evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the.bypass.
(2) Unanticipated "bypass: The permittee shall::submit. notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass.
(1). Bypass it prohibited and the -Permit -Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against
a permittee for bypass; unless: " I `
(A) Bypass was unavoidable:to'prevent loss,cP_Iife; personal injury;or.severe property
.: damage; t
(B) There were no,feasible alternatives to;the. bypass; such as theiuse'of::auxiliary treatment
facilities, retention of untreated .wastes: or 4naintenance. `during .normal periods; of
equipment dos ntirrie1.. This condition is not'satisfied �f adequate backup equipment should
have been installed in"the exercise of reasonable: engineering Judgment_ to prevent a bypass,
whicNoccurred'during'normal periods.of equipm
and
downtime; or.,prevenhve:;mamtenance;

5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset ".means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the
reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does -not include noncompliance to the extent
caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment
facilities, lack of.preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense .to an action brought for noncompliance with such
technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during. administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, .and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of, upset shall. demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being -properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit. .
(4) The per ' ittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part I1, B. 2. of this

Mercury Monitoring Requirements for Lumber River Basin NPDES Permits
There are currently 11 waters in the Lumber River Basin that have fish consumption advisories for mercury, and
appear as impaired waters on the 1998 303(d) list. The 303(d) process requires that a TMDL be developed for
each of the listed waters, in order to allocate allowable mercury loads to known sources. The ultimate objective
is to reduce fish tissue mercury concentrations and eliminate the need for fish -consumption advisories in this
basin. In order for DWQ to complete the TMDL study, permit writers will need to incorporate mercury
monitoring into the NPDES permits listed below. Please contact me with any questions. Thanks.
Facilities Needing Mercury Effluent Limits. Based on existing effluent data, the facilities listed below will
receive effluent limits of 0.012 ug/1 for total mercury (with 0.2 ug/I detection limit for compliance), with effluent
monitoring frequency based on facility class.
Permit Writer
• NC0025577-Red Springs Belnick
• NC0021920-Whiteville Belnick
Facilities Needing Monitoring Only. There is insufficient or no data to determine whether the following
facilities are a mercury source. Therefore, the facilities listed below will receive quarterly effluent monitoring
for total mercury (specify a 0.2 ug/I detection limit), and semi-annual monitoring of sludge (specify a 0.1 mg/kg
detection limit, dry weight basis). The cover letter should include a bullet item explaining why this monitoring is
being required- III email a sample bullet item to everyone.

Fac' 'ties Monitored Through Pretreatment LTMP. The facilities listed below have been sampling for
mercury as a pretreatment requirement. Available effluent data for 1996-97 does not indicate a mercury problem.
The permit writer should confirm this during RPA. If no potential for WQS violation exists, then maintain the
mercury monitoring within the pretreatment LTMP program.

TO: Dave Goodrich
FROM: Matt Matthews
SUBJECT: Draft Permit Corrections i---��,;r�lt ct;;
Parkton WWTP DENa
NPDES Permit No. NCO026921 '
Robeson County
Fairmont WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO021059
Robeson County
Our office has received the draft permits for the subject facilities which were issued
October 4, 1999. Upon review of these drafts, we noted that Condition A(2) contains chronic
toxicity language that EPA has stated they will not approve in permits. The first sentence in
Condition A(2) which contains the language, "The effluent discharge shall not exhibit a three-
month arithmetic average..." is incorrect. Please note in the third paragraph, the sentence that
states "the average chronic value from these follow-up multiple -concentration analyses will
establish compliance with the permit limit" is incorrect as well. As per discussions with EPA,
this language cannot be used in permits with chronic toxicity limits. The use of this incorrect
language was addressed in a previous memo to your office dated September 13, 1999.
Apparently, this QCL Version that was disapproved by EPA still exists either on individual
permit writer desktops or on the Water Quality Server. This language should be removed to
avoid using it in future permits. Attached to this memo is a copy of a July 19, 1999 email that
Kevin Bowden sent to you which attached toxicity language for the four main toxicity tests that
are used in NPDES permits. One of these was the EPA approved quarterly chronic limit
language.
Please find attached a copy of the correct toxicity test condition language that should be
incorporated into these two draft permits. We appreciate the opportunity to provide comment
prior to final permit issuance. If you have any questions, please contact me or Kristie Robeson at
733-2136.

CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina
Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina
Phase U Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests
will be performed during the months of . Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then
multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in
"North Carolina Phase U Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent
versions.
The chronic value forj multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest
concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a
detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods,
exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase U Chronic Whole Effluent
Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring
Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and
THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Water Quality
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after
the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total
residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of
the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge -of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the
permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility
name, permit number,' pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the
comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required
during the following month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate
monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival,
minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will
require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the
initial monitoring.
