Brown Town Manager Arlene G. Talton Town Clerk The Town of Mount Olive is requesting renewal of NPDES permit number NCO086801 for the backwash flow from the Gordon Street WTP. The plant treats groundwater which is filtered with a combination of sand and greensand filters. The greensand filters are not backwashed with a sodium solution. The finished water is being fluorinated at this time, but the WTP is considering discontinuing the addition of fluoride. We are requesting that permit be written so that fluoride monitoring/limits will be applicable only if the town is adding fluoride. The current permit has a weekly monitoring requirement for iron and settleable solids. The results for the settleable solids tests are consistently measured as a "Trace". The Town is requesting that settleable solids be removed from the permit. The Town is also requesting a change in the measurement frequency for iron from weekly to quarterly. We appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have any additional questions, please call Deems Blanton, Water Plant Superintendent at 919/658-6213 or 919/738-1025. �y, Charles Brown, Manager Town of Mount Olive AUG 0 2 2011 P .►1 NPDES PERMIT APPLICATION - SHORT FORM C - WTP For discharges associated with water treatment plants Mail the complete application to: N.

Box 939 Mount Olive, North Carolina 28365 December 17, 2010 Subject: NPDES Permit Modification Permit Number NCO086801 Gordon Street WTP Wayne County Dee Freeman Secretary Dear Mr. Brown: The Division received your request for permit modification on December 9, 2010. Division staff reviewed the request and the subject permit. Unfortunately, at this time we cannot modify the permit. The Division's October 2009 Water Treatment Plant (WTP) strategy has been applied to WTP's statewide as they have come up for renewal. This permit has never had the strategy applied; therefore, it cannot be applied selectively (in this case to settleable solids and iron). Your permit is due to expire January 31, 2012 and the strategy for conventional water treatment plants will be applied to the next permit in its entirety (see Table 3.1). For your reference, I have included a copy of the pages in our WTP Strategy that apply to conventional water treatment plants. Deems Blanton was contacted on December 17, 2010 to confirm that this WTP is a conventional plant as a previous renewal application stated it was a green sand filter system. Mr. Blanton confirmed it is a conventional system and mentioned that the green sand was changed out approximately 4 years ago. If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Maureen Scardina of my staff at (919) 807-6388. Sincerely, 0roleen H.

There have been no changes in the way the plant operates since the permit was issued. The Town backwashes its' potable water iron removal filters at a rate of approximately twenty five thousand (25,000) gallons per day into a holding basin. We then let it settle for twenty four (24) hours and then turn the clear supernate into a nearby field ditch that eventually reaches a tributary of Cow Pasture Branch which leads to the North East Cape Fear River. The heavy iron sludge that settles on the bottom of the basin is pumped to the Town's Waste Water Treatment Plant at approximately five thousand (5000) gallons per month.

Salisbury 1148 Raleigh, NC 27604 between the hours °review Notes for Town of Mount Olive Water Treatment Plant General Information The Town of Mount Olive has requested that an NPDES permit allowing the facility to discharge filter backwash water. Previously, this facility discharged the filter backwash water to the Town of Mount Olive's WWTP, however the WWTP is currently under an SOC because of excessive flows. Removing the water treatment plant contribution will provide interim relief to the WWTP. The facility is proposing to discharge 0.02 MGD of filter backwash water into an unnamed tributary to the Northeast Cape Fear River, which is a class C Swamp water, in the Cape Fear River Basin. The Town of Mount Olive is located in the headwaters of the Northeast Cape Fear. Permit Writer: MJM Permit #: NCO086801 Basin Plan Review General Comments This permit will be developed using the water treatment plant permitting policy. In the future if the WWTP should correct the problems, the permittee should be encouraged to again begin discharging to the sanitary sewer. Per Charles Weaver, this request requires a new permit application. Additionally, Charles indicated that he and Dave Goodrich have concluded that an engineering alternatives analysis is not required. Based on this information it is assumed that the only option for the facility is discharge and permit development will proceed accordingly. 2/26/00 — contacted the Town of Mount Olive about the situation with the chlorides in Barlow Branch and the Northeast Cape Fear River. This is seen as a permanent measure being employed by the facility. Chad Winem informed the Division that the water treatment plant does not practice brine recharge as part of the water treatment process and chloride levels in the wastewater have been below detection limits. 2/26/00 — using a 1:20,000 USGS topographic map the watershed was delineated and determined to be 0.0133 mil. Referring the Low Flow Characteristics of Streams in North Carolina for hydrologic area 2 (HA2), drainage areas less than 2.0 mi2 would be expected to have a 7Q10 and 30Q2 equal to zero.

Previously, this facility discharged the filter backwash water to the Town of Mount Olive's WWTP, however the WWTP is currently under an SOC because of excessive flows. Removing the water treatment plant contribution will provide interim relief to the WWTP. Barlow Branch and 3.3 miles of the Northeast Cape Fear River from the source to SR1937 are rated as not supporting their designated uses due to elevated level chloride levels from the Mount Olive Pickle Company. The facility is proposing to discharge 0.02 MGD of filter backwash water into an unnamed tributary to the Northeast Cape Fear River, which is a class C Swamp water, in the Cape Fear River Basin. The receiving stream, UT to the Northeast Cape Fear River, discharges into the Northeast Cape Fear River in a portion of the river, which has elevated chloride levels. Since the water treatment plants does not utilize brine recharge as a unit operation chloride levels in the effluent are minimal and the discharge should have a positive impact on the chloride levels by increasing dilution. TOXICITY TESTING: Current Requirement: None Recommended Requirement: None COMPLIANCE SUMMARY: New permit no compliance history. INSTREAM MONITORING: Turbidity upstream and downstream of the outfall.

The discharge is able to meet proposed permit limits based on data submitted. Currently this backwash water is being discharged to the Mt. Olive WWTP. However the WWTP is hydraulically over loaded and has man hole overflows during heavy rainfall events. It is felt that it is better to discharge this relatively clean water directly to the receiving stream and reduce the hydraulic load on the WWTP. It is recommended that the permit be reissued.

Ray McDonald, Sr. Town Manager Arlene G. Talton Town Clerk Please find enclosed three (3) copies of the Application for Permit to Discharge — Short Form A along with a map showing the location of the proposed discharge and a $715.00 check for the application fee. This request will allow the Town of Mount Olive to discharge filter backwash water to a wet -weather ditch that flows to the Northeast Cape Fear River. The backwash water from this plant was once permitted to be discharged to the ditch under NPDES permit No. NC 003051, discharge No. 1. The discharge was moved to the sewer for convenience some time ago. The sewer system is now under and SOC for excessive flows, and the Town needs to remove this filter backwash from the water system. The Town owns and operates a water distribution system that utilizes wells as its source of water. At the Gordon Street Water Treatment Plant, there exist four (4) iron removal pressure filters that presently discharge 20,000 gallons per day (gpd) to the sanitary sewer system as well as a 60,000- gallon holding tank for the filter backwash water. Solids in the backwash water are allowed to settle prior to being discharged into the sanitary sewer system. Piping modifications to the holding basin are proposed so that supernate can be removed and the solids can be collected in the bottom. Approximately 20,000 gallons of backwash water would be discharged to the holding tank daily, allowed to settle and then discharged to the ditch. After one (1) month, approximately 20,000 gallons of collected solids would be discharged to the sanitary sewer system. 114 East James Street • Post Office Box 939 • Mount Olive, North Carolina 28365 11/10/99 DETACH THIS STUB BEFORE DEPUbl 1 lr4t, r+« ^ TOWN OF MOUNT OLIVE . r — "Ic ninoru r.AP01 INA 30-810-04 __. �.....,� r. -o 11nllTY EMPLOYER CHECK NO. 013250 715.00 PLEASE RETAIN FOR YOUR RECORDS.
