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) 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: NC DENR / DWQ / 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. If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT Forms submitted. 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.

If you have any more questions call or email---Thanks!---Janet Bob Sledge wrote: Hi Janet, I'm responsible for pushing through the permit renewal for this facility. Apparently it is not currently in active operation. The way it's described, it receives flow, but the WWTP acts just as a big holding basin that gets pumped periodically. Treatment is received at the town's main WWTP. Looking at the file, it appears what is built is half of what they're permitted for. Do you want the permit updated to better reflect the existing conditions? Under their operational circumstances, are there any special conditions ARO would like to see added to the permit? I sent this to you because BIMS showed you as the last inspector of the facility. If I've sent this to the wrong person, would you please forward it to the person who has responsibility for the facility? Thank you, Bob S.

In support of this request, please find enclosed one (1) original and two (2) copies of NPDES Form 2A and pertinent enclosures. This treatment plant is currently inoperative due to extremely low flows being generated by the industrial park. Because the treatment plant is currently not treating any flow, no effluent testing information has been provided with the application package. We have authorized McGill Associates, P.A. of Asheville, North Carolina to prepare the renewal package included in this submittal but have taken the opportunity to review and certify the materials before submitting them. Thank you for your consideration of our request. Please call if you have any questions or need additional information. OF FOREST CITY MULES R. SUMMEY, II City Manager Enclosures CC: Keith Webb, P.E.

Page 9 of 21 SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN TOWN OF FOREST CITY WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT RUTHERFORD COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA► NPDES Permit # NCO025984 GENERAL The 'Town of Forest City is located in Rutherford County, North Carolina, and currently owns and operates three (3) wastewater treatment plants. The Town's primary treatment plant is the Forest City WWTT (NPDES Permit No. NCO25984), which has a capacity of 4.95 million gallons per day (MGD). This plant began operation in 1960, and was originally designed with a capacity of 4.25 MGD. The capacity of the plant was upgraded to 4.95 MGD in 1994. The last significant upgrade to the Forest City WWTP was in 1998 when a sludge drying unit was added to the treatment process. The Town also owns and operates the Riverstone Industrial Park WWTP (NPDES Permit No. NC0087084), which serves the Riverstone Industrial Park and has a design capacity of 50,000 gallons per day (GPD). This plant is currently inoperative due to the low flows being generated by the industrial park. These small flows are held at the Riverstone Plant and periodically transported by track to the'Tovvn's primary plant. The third plant owned and operated by the Town is the Harris WWTP (NPDES Permit No. NC0083275). This plant was recently purchased by the Town and served the DRG Harris facility which is no longer in operation. This WWTP is inoperative and treats no wastewater. SLUDGE GENERA TMON AND TREATMENT Sludge at the Forest City WwTp is produced daily in the activated sludge processes, a is collected from the secondary clarifiers and treated in two (2) aerobic digesters th a total volume of 670,688 gallons. The two dimes provide a retention time of 13.5 days. From the aerobic digesters, sludge is pumped at a rate of 375 GPM to a 2.0 meter filter press where it is dewatered to approximately 14% solids. The dewatered sludge then transported to a dryer, which pasteurizes the sludge and dries it to approximately 95% solids. The current sludge drying process is run, on average, (3) three consecutive days over a (2) two week period. SLUDGE DISPOSAL After the sludge has been pasteurized and dried to 95% solids it is st red on -site able to and classified as a Class "A" product. The final product i curr y made avail local fanners and residents at no charge for land application His 'cally, the Forest City WWTP has produced approximately 800 tons of Class "A" ro ct per year. t` RIVERSTONE INDUSTRIAL PARK WWTP / ' NPDES NO.
