SECTION A(2).ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LDGT (QRTRLY)
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 (PiTnephales promeias) 24 hour static test. 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 March, June, September and December.
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 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 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 (Al) 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 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.
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.

Summary
The Town of Forest City is proposing to build a wastewater treatment system to serve the
Riverstone Industrial Park, Chase High School and 200 homes in the vicinity of the industrial
park which have septic systems. The industrial park is actually under construction. The
design of the industrial park contains 48 individual lots on 1,152 acres. The developer
projects that the industrial park will eventually employ 5,000 workers. The original permit
application requested a total flow of 0.450 MGD. A modification was latter submitted to
reduce the flow to 0.10 MGD. This flow will cover the industrial park only.
Engineering Alternative Analysis (EAA)
An EAA was submitted with the permit application. The project is divided in two phases, the
first one providing waste treatment facilities for 100,000 GPD and the second one, ten years
later providing facilities to bring the total wastewater flow to 450,000 GPD. '
The proposed flow of 450,000 gpd was estimated based on 5,000 employees at 25
gpd/employee, 15,000 gpd from Chase High School, 200 homes at 360 gpd/home and
238,000 gpd from general industrial process flow. The first phase will provide a treatment
system for the initial facilities that locate at the industrial park. It is not known how many
industries will comprise this first phase and what amount and kind of flows they will have.
The developer has a commitment from one industry that intends to relocate to the industrial
park in the near future. The flow from this facility will be domestic only. It is uncertain if the
industrial park will develop to full capacity. In view of these issues, the Town agreed to
modify the request to get a permit for 0.10 MGD. The permit will be issued for 0.10 MGD.
Fact Sheet
Renewal -- NPDES Permit NCO087084
Page 1

Future expansions may be considered after the facility submits a speculative limit request
and an Engineering Alternatives Analysis.
The following alternatives were considered by the Town:
• Connection to the Town of Forest City WWTP — This alternative consists of a force
main and several pump stations. The Town's WWTP is more than 8 miles from the
industrial park and the plant will have to be upgraded.
• Connection to the Town of Chesnee, SC — This alternative consists of a force main
and several pump stations. This town is about 4 miles form the industrial park and
the WWTP will have to be upgraded.
• Discharge to Broad River — This alternative consists of a WWTP at the industrial
park.
• Drip irrigation I Spray irrigation — This alternative consists of a WWTP at the
industrial park and additional acquisition of land for irrigation.
• Reuse — Since there are no tenants yet at the industrial park there are no options
open for reuse.
The feasible economical alternative is the discharge to the Broad River with a present worth
cost of $2,288,500, followed by the connection to Chesnee with a cost of $3,019,720.
Basinwide Plan
The basinwide plan rates this section of the Broad River as good based on benthic
microinvertebrate information.
Proposed Permit Limits
A level B model was run for the proposed discharge to the Broad River. The results of the
model are attached. The proposed limits and monitoring frequencies are based on a Class
II domestic facility and the results of the Level B model. Secondary limits will protect for
summer and winter conditions. Since there are no industries located at the industrial park
yet, no limits can be established for pollutants that could be present in industrial effluents,
for this reason toxicity monitoring is proposed. The permit will include the boilerplate
language for Pretreatment.

SUBJECT: Environmental Review at the Community Level, Town of Forest City, Water and
WWTP for Industrial Park, Rutherford County, NC, Broad River, DENR No. 01-
E-0472
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the
subject project. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the North Carolina
Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A-1 et seq., as amended; 1 NCAC 25) and the National
Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c)).
The proposed project involves the extension of 7,500 linear feet of water line and the
construction of a wastewater treatment plant and outfall line. The infrastructure will serve an
unspecified manufacturing site to locate on the 1,100-acre industrial park. This first
manufacturing site consists of 14 acres.
The document states that the greatest impact to the environment will result in the
discharge of effluent from the WWTP to the Broad River. We do not disagree with this
assessment; however, we do not believe it is the only adverse impact associated with this project.
Our greatest concern from projects such as this are the secondary and cumulative impacts
of development. Stormwater runoff from the many hundreds of acres of impervious surface that
could eventually be facilitated by this publicly funded infrastructure is of concern. There is no
discussion in the document of if or how stromwater will be managed to minimize adverse
impacts to area streams. We recommend that stormwater management be required for roads and
each industrial site to treat stormwater from impervious surfaces to maintain quality and quantity
to the preconstruction conditions.
We are also concerned about the discharge of effluent to the Broad River. The Broad
River provides habitat for important game and nongame fish, including the significantly rare

Santee Chub (Cyprinella zanema). We are especially concerned about the impact of toxic
substances associated with effluent, especially residual chlorine. We recommend that ultraviolet
light be used for disinfection instead of chlorine and that the WWTP be equipped with an
emergency power supply to prevent discharge of untreated wastewater during power outages.
This project will facilitate the development of a 1,100-acre site: however, there was -no
habitat characterization of the overall industrial site that we understand will be served by this
infrastructure.
The information provided is not sufficient for our agency to make a definitive conclusion
concerning the impacts from this project.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input during the planning stages of this project.
If we can provide further assistanceorclarification of these comments; please contact me at

Please find enclosed one (1) original and one (1) copy of the signed Fast Track
Application for Gravity Sewers, Pump Stations, and Force Mains for the above referenced
project along with a check for the permit processing fee in the amount of $400.00. A previous
application for this project was submitted to your office dated May 31, 2001, but was returned
with a letter from Ms. Kristin Miguez requesting that the application be resubmitted with an
updated application form.
The project generally consists of the installation of approximately 3,600 lineal feet of 8-
inch and 12-inch ductile iron and PVC gravity sewer line, including all manholes and related
appurtenances to provide sewer service to the new Riverstone Industrial Park. The project
complies with the Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria issued by NCDENR.
Please review the enclosed information and contact our office if there are any questions
or if additional information is required.
Sincerely,

RE: Amendment to NPDES Application
Riverstone Industrial Park
Town of Forest City, North Carolina
On behalf of the Town of Forest City, we are hereby amending our request for an NPDES
Permit for a new wastewater treatment plant to serve the Riverstone Industrial Park from 450,000
gallons per day (GPD) to 100,000 GPD. This request is being submitted in order to expedite the
issuance of the NPDES permit and construction on the new wastewater treatment facility. The
Town of Forest City reserves the right to request a modification to their permit to increase the
discharge to the river as the industrial park continues to develop.
The new wastewater treatment plant is currently planned to treat the domestic wastewater
that is generated at the industrial park. The developer of the property does not have any
commitments from "wet" industries that will contribute industrial process flow to the plant at this
time. Therefore, the wastewater that is treated at the new facility is anticipated to have
characteristics similar to typical domestic wastewater.
Should you have any additional questions or need any additional information, please do
not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your assistance with the issuance of the NPDES permit.
Sincerely,
McGILL ASSOCIATES, P.A.

RE: Riverstone Industrial Park
NPDES Permit Application and
Engineering Alternatives Analysis
Town of Forest City, North Carolina
This letter is in response to the comments and questions that we discussed during our
telephone conversation on June 19, 2001 concerning the NPDES Permit Application and
Engineering Alternatives Analysis that were submitted for the above referenced project. The
following sections describe our understanding of your questions and comments, and provide
responses to each comment.
1. You inquired about the total anticipated flow 450,000 gallons per day (GPD) that is being
requested in the NPDES permit application, and was calculated on Page 3 of the
Alternatives Analysis. Specifically, you asked us to clarify the source of the 5,000
employees that are used in the calculation and the 238,000 GPD of industrial process flow
that was included in the flow projections.
The developer of the property currently has a preliminary design completed to construct
facilities on approximately forty-eight (48) lots on the 1,152 acre site. Several buildings
within the industrial park area are already under construction. The developer ultimately
projects that 5,000 people will be employed at the park. Therefore, the developer's
projections were used in the Alternatives Analysis to calculate the total flow to the new
wastewater treatment facility.
The 238,000 GPD of industrial process flow is an estimated amount. The number was
determined based on an estimated average process flow from each facility of 5,000 GPD
(48 facilities X 5,000 GPD = 240,000 GPD). The estimated process flow was reduced to
238,000 GPD in order to make the total anticipated flow to the wastewater treatment
plant a round number (450,000 GPD). The developer currently does not have any
commitments from "wet" industries to locate to the industrial park. Therefore, it is
unknown at this time how many industries that use a significant amount of water for their
process will locate to the park.
2. You commented that you have been informed that the Town's existing wastewater
treatment plant is currently treating an average daily flow that is in excess of 80% of the

Ms. Teresa Rodriguez

plant's design capacity. Therefore, the Town is required to be in the planning stages of an
expansion to the facility. You specifically inquired as to how this affects our cost
estimate for Phase 2 of Alternative 2-A, which includes a $1,005,000 upgrade to the
existing Forest City wastewater plant.
The wastewater treatment plant is currently operating at greater than 80% capacity, and
the Town is currently in the planning stages of an expansion to the facility. The Town
does not have immediate plans to expand the plant. It is our opinion that this information
further substantiates the need to upgrade the facility if the flow from the Riverstone
Industrial Park is pumped to the Town's treatment plant. Therefore, this information does
not affect the cost estimate that was included in the Alternatives Analysis.
3. You commented that you have been informed that the Town's existing wastewater
treatment plant does not have the capacity to treat and dewater the biosolids generated at
a new plant on the Broad River. The Alternatives Analysis assumes that the biosolids
would be hauled from the new plant to the existing Forest City plant for treatment,
dewatering, and disposal.
Upon further discussion with the Town, it appears that you have been misinformed on
this issue. The Town's existing wastewater treatment plant does have additional capacity
in the sludge digesters, thickener, and dryer to accept the biosolids from the new plant.
The sludge dryer is currently in operation approximately 20% of the time, and production
can be increased as necessary to dewater the additional sludge from the new plant.
4. You faxed me a memo from Mr. Owen Anderson, Mountain Region Coordinator of the
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission that included concerns about the
discharge of effluent to the Broad River, particularly the impact of residual chlorine on
the river. Mr. Anderson recommended that ultraviolet light be used for disinfection and
that the new treatment plant be equipped with an emergency power supply to prevent
discharge of untreated wastewater during power outages.
The Alternatives Analysis includes costs for a standby generator at the new plant to
provide emergency power in the course of a power outage and to prevent the discharge of
untreated wastewater during these power outages.
It is currently planned to provide disinfection at the new plant using chlorine gas. In
addition, it is also planned to dechlorinate the plant effluent using sulfur dioxide prior to
discharging into the Broad River to reduce the chlorine residual. We anticipate that
chlorine residual limits will be included in the NPDES permit that is issued by NCDENR.
If the limits are similar to those that have been issued in the past, the maximum effluent
chlorine limit will be extremely low to protect fish and wildlife in the river. Ultraviolet
light disinfection facilities have a poor track record at municipal wastewater treatment
plants in the region, and several ultraviolet light facilities have been replaced with
chlorination/dechlorination facilities. Based on this information, we request that

u

chlorination be approved as the method of disinfection at the new plant, with
dechlorination provided through the use of sulfur dioxide to reduce the chlorine level
prior to discharge.
5. You requested the permit numbers for the existing Town of Forest City lift stations that
would need to be upgraded if the option of pumping to the Town's wastewater treatment
plant (Alternative 2-A) is implemented.
Per my telephone conversation with Mr. Roger Edwards of the NCDWQ Regional Office,
Mr. Edwards provided you with the necessary permit numbers on June 25, 2001.
Therefore, we are not providing additional information on the lift stations at this time.
6. You asked for a clarification of the items that will be necessary to upgrade the existing
four (4) Town of Forest City lift stations if the alternative of pumping the flow to the
Town of Forest City (Alternative 2-A) is implemented. The cost estimates included in
the Alternatives Analysis include a lump sump estimate for each pump station upgrade.
It is assumed for Phase 1 of the project that all four (4) lift stations would need to be
completely replaced, due to the large increase in capacity of the lift stations. Therefore,
the lump sum costs included on Page 9 of the Alternatives Analysis for each pump station
in Phase 1 include all excavation and sitework, a new concrete wetwell and valve vault,
two (2) pumps, and all related piping, valves, and electrical work to complete the
construction of a new duplex lift station.
We have also assumed that the new wetwells that would be constructed during Phase 1
would be sized so that the wetwell could also be utilized during Phase 2. Therefore, the
lump sum costs included on Page 11 of the Alternatives Analysis for Phase 2 include an
upgrade without needing to replace the entire lift station. The estimated cost includes
replacement of the pumps, upgrading the necessary piping and valves, electrical upgrades,
and all miscellaneous appurtenances necessary to complete the upgrade.
We hope that this letter addresses your comments in a satisfactory manner. If you have
any additional questions or comments, please feel free to give me a call.
