ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/ FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY) The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the North Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised -July, 1992 or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas), or Mysid Shrimp (Mysidopsis Bahia), or Silverside Minnow (Menidia Beryllina) (Permittee's choice) 24 hour static test. Once a test organism has been selected, all subsequent tests must use the same test organism. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be obtained during representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July and October. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGE6C. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. 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 Section at the address cited above. Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements 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. Permit NC0085553 NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival 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.

Please note that the frequency for parameters with a limit should be 2/month which should include TRC and pH. The discharge will be to salt water, therefore the pH limitations should be 6.8 to 8.5. This permit was originally issued in 1996. There are no records of receipt of an A to C. A complete A to C and construction of the facility should be completed by the end of this permit cycle. If construction of the facility is not achieved upon expiration of the upcoming permit, permit should be revoked. APPENDIX A MONITORING REQUIREMENTS FOR MEMBRANE WTPS The Minimum Monitoring Requirements for Membrane WTPs included below (Table 3) identifies various pollutants of concern including conventional parameters, nutrients, and toxicants. A brief rationale for the inclusion of these contaminants can be found in Appendix C. Other toxicants were not included because they were either not detected or rarely detected in the effluent data surveyed, however, if a pollutant specific problem is detected in the receiving stream, effluent, or source water then a monitoring requirement may be added for that parameter. Likewise, if data indicate that a pollutant is not present in the facility's discharge, that parameter may be dropped from the requirements. These are minimum monitoring requirements. Limits should be added if the facility shows reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards for toxicants. M.,nitnrino Requirements for Membrane WTPs laulc 0. uau.........................
