There have been no modifications to the facility since the permit was issued in March 2002. The wastewater treatment plant serves three schools in Union County. Facility Description: The facility consists of influent pump station, bar screen, equalization basin, two aeration basins, two clarifiers, aerated sludge digester, two tertiary filters, and UV disinfection with backup chlorination. The capacity of the treatment plant is 50,000 gpd. Waste Load Allocation (WLA): The last waste load allocation was performed in July 1996. BOD and ammonia are water quality limited. 303(d) List: Crooked Creek is listed as impaired in the 2002 303(d) list due to biological data. The source of the impairment is unknown. Potential sources are urban runoff and stormwater runoff. Basin Plan: The use support rating is supporting for the portion of the creek where the discharge is located. The benthos classification downstream from the discharge is Good -Fair; the classification upstream is Fair. Ambient monitoring data for turbidity shows elevated values. Recommendations in the 2002 plan are to take local action to reduce the effect of non -point source pollution, particularly from stormwater runoff as further development occurs in the Crooked Creek watershed. Pre -Treatment: No Significant Industrial Users. DMR Review: Data were ' reviewed for the period of January 2002 to October 2003. Average flow was 0.01 MGD. Since this plant receives all the flow from the schools, during summer months flow is usually low or no flow is reported. BOD averaged <2 mg/I and TSS <4 mg/l. Sampling results for weekly averages for fecal coliform were greater than 400/100 ml on January, July, August, and September 2003. Other parameters monitored are ammonia, dissolved oxygen, pH, total residual chlorine and temperature which were within permit limits. Fact Sheet NPDES NCO085812 Renewal Page 1 SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES • Weekly average limits for ammonia were added to the permit as per the Ammonia Implementation Policy. A weekly limit of 6.0 mg/I was implemented for the summer months and 12.0 mg/I for the winter months. • Monitoring for Conductivity was eliminated from the permit. The facility treats domestic waste only, therefore monitoring for Conductivity is not necessary. • The facility description was modified to include the equalization basin.
