Thank you for meeting with Joe Pearce on Tuesday afternoon and discussing the
temporary sludge holding proposal for the Triangle Wastewater Treatment Plant. As
discussed, the Triangle Wastewater Treatment Plant is currently holding more sludge
than we find acceptable. Therefore, we are proceeding rapidly to have sludge removed
and are proposing to use an existing unused aeration basin for sludge holding.
With continued sludge wasting, the sludge level in the lagoon will continue to rise. Also,
from now until October, there is the risk of significant rain events from hurricanes. To
minimize the risk of having to take extreme measures to ensure the environmentally safe

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
Durham County Engineering with the assistance of our County Attorney has drafted a
new “Request for Proposals** and will publish it very soon. If this request for proposal
and contract proceeds smoothly, sludge removal may begin in the next sixty (60) days.
For a bit of sludge history, the Triangle Wastewater Treatment Plant most recently
disposed of sludge by contract with Bionomics. Bionomics then subcontracted to
Earthtech for treatment and final disposition. By contract Bionomics was responsible for
proper disposal. However, due to concerns about the DWQ permitting of this facility,
Durham County chose to discontinue this disposal practice. Subsequently, in February.
2007, Durham County issued a “Request for Proposals” for dredging and disposal. As
there were a number of addendums issued and legal concerns the “Request for Proposals”
was withdrawn.
Our proposal is as follows:
1. Waste Activated Sludge will be directed from the clarifiers directly to the aeration
basin, labeled A, via temporary piping.
2. This basin will be used for a maximum of three months.
3. This basin will be operated without aeration similar to the operation of the
existing sludge lagoon.
4. By January 1, 2008, sludge transferred to the aeration basin shall either be
disposed off-site or transferred to the main sludge lagoon.
operation of the sludge lagoon, we request authorization to temporarily waste activated
sludge to an aeration basin of our prior wastewater treatment plant. The specific aeration
basin to be used is shown as the “A” on the aerial photo below.

Dear Ms. Tian:
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Internet: h2o.enr.state.nc.us
On July 13, 1995, the Environmental Management Commission approved the Town of
Cary's request for full delegation authority to issue sanitary sewer extension permits. In
conjunction with that delegation, this office has been allowing the Town to issue sewer
extension permits based upon a block flow approval process. Previously, the Raleigh
Regional Office has granted block flow approvals for the North Cary WWTF totaling
5,500,000 GPD. As requested in your letter dated July 15, 2007, the Raleigh Regional
Office hereby grants an additional block flow allocation of 500,000 GPD for the North Cary
WWTF yielding a total of 6,000,000 GPD granted for that facility. The North Cary WRF
has a current treatment capacity of 12.0 MGD.

As permits are issued by the Town, the wastewater flow associated with those projects will
be subtracted from the block flow allocation. When the issued permits have almost
depleted the flow allocation, the Town will request that it be granted an additional
allocation.
The Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) requires that the Town submit a quarterly report for
each WWTF. The reports should be received by the Raleigh Regional Office before the
end of each of the months of January, April, July and October, and must provide the
following information for the permits that have been issued:

To keep citizens informed and to maintain compliance with State requirements and the Clean
Water Act of 1999 (House Bill 1160), Durham County has prepared this report summarizing the
peiformance of the County-owned Triangle Wastewater Treatment Plant (TWWTP) and associated
wastewater collection system. This report includes activities during the County’s fiscal year 2007-
2008 (July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008). This report contains a System Overview, a
Performance Summary, and a Major Projects Overview.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Collection system operations include maintenance of the pump stations, sewer line cleaning,
easement mowing, manhole inspections, and high priority line inspections. During the year,
Durham County inspected 2195 manholes. The sewer line-cleaning requirement of 10 percent of
the system was exceeded this year. The County cleaned 57,000 linear feet of the collection system
as per permit requirement. In addition, the County exceeded the required two high priority line
inspections by completing four over the 12-month period. Over 37 miles of the County’s sewer
easements were mowed during the year to maintain access to the facilities.
The collection system consists of both public and private sewer lines and pump stations to
transport wastewater to the treatment plant. Durham County owns and maintains approximately
108 miles of sewer piping and ten pumping stations. All pump stations are equipped with
automatic dialers that will notify an operator when an alarm occurs. Nine of the ten stations have
stationary generators for emergency power. The County has two portable generators that can be
placed at the pump station without a stationary generator in case of a power failure.
Description of Collection System and Treatment Process
The Durham County wastewater collection and treatment system serves a customer base of more
than 9,300 residential, commercial, and industrial users, including the portion of Research Triangle
Park located in Durham County. During the last year, the Triangle Wastewater Treatment Plant
(TWWTP) treated an average of 4.63 million gallons per day (MOD) of wastewater. Included in
this flow is wastewater collected from the Town of Cary under an agreement between Durham
County and the Town of Cary to treat flow through 2010. This wastewater is collected,
transported, and treated to meet pennitted standards before it is released into the environment.

Industrial Pretreatment Program
The responsibility of operating
the Triangle WWTP includes
permitting and monitoring of
the industries that discharge
into the sewer system through
the County’s Industrial
Pretreatment Program (IPP).
There are currently twenty-one
permitted industries in
County’s program that

impacts to the system.
Thirteen industries are
Significant Industrial Users
(SIUs).
The IPP includes a Fats, Oil, and Grease (FOG) control program to minimize the accumulation of
grease waste in the sewer system. FOG can be a frequent cause of wastewater overflows within
collection systems. The IPP monitors discharges from commonly recognized sources such as
restaurants to minimize problems associated with FOG. The FOG program teaches best practices
for FOG management to restaurant managers and kitchen staff.
In addition to restaurants, residences can be sources of FOG discharges. Everyone can help
minimize FOG issues in the sewer by choosing not to pour grease down the drain: solidify and
dispose of grease with other solid waste.

Summary of System Performance
The Triangle WWTP operated in compliance for the reporting period July 1, 2006 through June
30, 2007, satisfying all requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit issued by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. More than 2800
samples were analyzed to demonstrate permit compliance.
The operation of the Biological Nutrient Removal facilities that were put into service in 2005 has
provided the County with significant reduction of nutrients discharged to Northeast Creek.
Following is a graph depicting the reductions that have been achieved. The 2004 data represents
nutrient removals prior to startup of the BNR facilities and the 2006 data represents nutrient
removal after these facilities were placed into service. The Total Nitrogen removed from 2004 to
2007 was increased by 58 percent and the Total Phosphorus removed was increased by 11 percent
while Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus influent loadings processed at the facility increased an
average of 155 percent.

MAJOR PROJECTS OVERVIEW
sewer lines in the vicinity were cleaned. No detrimental environmental impacts were observed due
to the spill.
• Fine Screens - removes appropriate larger materials prior to the beginning of the treatment
process.
• Grit Removal - removes appropriate smaller materials prior to the beginning of the
treatment process.
• Five Stage Biological Nutrient Removal System - provides the ability to remove nitrogen
and phosphorous during treatment.
• Clarifiers - separates biosolids from the treated water after the biological process.
• Tertiary Filters - additional cleaning of the treated water prior to the disinfection process.
• Ultraviolet Disinfection - eliminated large amounts of chlorine needed for the previous
disinfection process and the dangers associated with the chlorine being stored on site.
• Chemical Feed Equipment - used to supplement the biological processes.
Triangle Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements
Durham County continues the process of upgrading the Triangle Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Many improvements were completed during Phases 1 and 2 and are now in service, including the
following:
• Influent Pump Station - sized for 12 MGD average flow, and located above the 100-year
flood elevation to avoid flooding.
On January 12, 2007 a spill of approximately 1000 gallons occurred near the Kingsly Court
easement due to a grease blockage. The spill reached a nearby creek. The portion of the spill that
reached the creek was contained and pumped out. NCDENR was notified and the sewer lines in
the vicinity were cleaned. No detrimental environmental impacts were observed due to the spill.
On March 24, 2007, approximately 300 gallons of wastewater spilled from a manhole in
Alexander Crossing due to a grease blockage. The spill reached a nearby creek. The portion of
the spill that reached the creek was contained and pumped out. NCDENR was notified and the
sewer lines in the vicinity were cleaned. No detrimental environmental impacts were observed due
to the spill.
• Administrative Offices - provides office space for the treatment plant staff
• Laboratory - for necessary water testing.

Phase3 Improvements
Phase 3 will provide for the treatment of the biosolids generated by the treatment processes. This
project is in the design phase and will result in the ability to treat the biosolids to a Class A
designation. The Class A designation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
indicates a highly treated product. The Phase 3 improvements are scheduled for construction in
2008. A major benefit of Phase 3 will be the ability to discontinue the use of the remaining 5-acre
lagoon on the plant site. Phase 3 will incorporate the use of concrete tanks and dewatering to
manage the biosolids treatment in a smaller area on the plant site.
Water Reclamation and Reuse
The design of the reuse Bj
project is in progress, and
it will result in the use of
the treated water
produced by the treatment
plant being available for
uses, such as irrigation
and the operation of
cooling towers. The
project, proceeding as a
joint effort with Wake
County and the Town of
Cary, has been approved
for grant funding through
EPA. The benefits of this
project include the
reduction of nutrient
loading to Jordan Lake
and the conservation of
potable water supplies due to the use of the treated water for uses that are currently supplied by the
potable water system.

Please be reminded that there are a number of monitoring and reporting requirements placed
in the body of their permit (WQ0030580P070330.doc) and its Attachement A (
WQ0030580attA070330.xls) for their _*incoming residuals*_, _*Class A EQ residuals product
(composted residuals)*_, and the _*compost-soil mixture*_ (i.e. the finished product
achieved after mixing with the treated soil). *They are advised to read the permit
carefully and follow the instructions given in the permit to fulfill these requirements. *
Ed had to be out this week with some family urgency. I reviewed the recent reports he had
Looks like Earthtec has satisfied the TCLP requirement that was placed on
Attached A (WQ0030580attA070330.xls) of their permit. He can now start accepting the
residuals from your facility.

2. Sludge Removal Contract. Sludge is being removed by Bio-Nomics Services.
The October sludge removal report is attached.
As discussed by phone, our office provides the following final report on the temporary
sludge wasting:
In conclusion, the temporary use of the Aeration Basin #1 for sludge storage did not
result in any environmental impacts and provided Durham County sufficient time to
effectively bid and execute a contract for the proper disposal of the sludge. Durham
County appreciates the Division of Water Quality allowance for this temporary
operational change.
1. Sludge Wasting Amounts. Sludge wasting to Aeration Basin #1 began on July

Dear Mr. Whisler:
Raleigh, NC 27699-16211621 Mail Service Center
You should initiate follow-up toxicity testing upon a single WET test failure, which occurs during the toxicity
testing calendar quarter.
Your facility is currently monitoring for copper and/or zinc and the data indicate that the levels of copper/zinc in
your effluent have the potential to cause an exceedance of the NC water quality action level for this (these) parameter(s) in
your receiving stream during low stream flow conditions. The policy states that whenever a facility experiences two or more
toxicity limit violations during a toxicity testing calendar quarter, the NPDES Permit will be modified to include numeric
limits for copper and/or zinc UNLESS the permittee provides one or more of the following:
In addition, this correspondence contains important information on the Division’s Copper and Zinc Action Level
Policy which is triggered by two or more toxicity limit violations that occur during the toxicity testing calendar quarter
specified by the toxicity testing special condition of your NPDES Permit. Attachments addressing policy implementation
and a copy of the Division's Toxicity Reduction Guidance have been included with this Notice of Violation.
1. Instream measurements of dissolved metal during low flow conditions that demonstrate compliance with
the Action Level standard
2. A revision of the prospective permit limit using improved inputs that in concert with existing or additional
monitoring data demonstrates compliance with the Action Level standard
3. Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) results that definitively rule out copper and/or zinc as causes of
effluent toxicity
4. Demonstration by an alternative method approved by the Division and EPA that copper and/or zinc is not
the cause of toxicity

This is to inform you that a review of your toxicity self-monitoring report form for the month of August 2007
indicates a violation of the toxicity limitation specified in your NPDES Permit. You should undertake necessary actions to
eliminate or reduce effluent toxicity to acceptable levels.

You should consider submitting the above correspondence certified mail.

The Division has evaluated your copper and/or zinc monitoring data. The Division has also developed a prospective
NPDES permit limit based on your facility’s instream waste concentration, the copper and/or zinc action level criterion and a
translator procedure. Based on this data your prospective copper permit limit is 18.2 pg/L and your prospective zinc permit
limit is 159.0 pg/L.
Please note that if you choose item b) above, you will be given nine months to submit documentation that eliminates
copper and/or zinc as causative effluent toxicants. Your final report should be comprehensive and include all data used to
support your conclusion(s). Should the data indicate copper and/or zinc as the source of effluent toxicity or if the data are
inconclusive as to copper and/or zinc’s role as a toxicity source, then the NPDES Permit will be reopened and the metal
limits specified above will be applied to the permit. The report is due nine months after the date of the second WET Notice
of Violation.
Failure to notify DWQ of your acceptance of a copper and/or zinc limit, failure to notify DWQ of your option
selection or failure to make acceptable demonstration to DWQ that copper and/or zinc are not causative effluent toxicants
within the stated time frames will result in reopening of the NPDES Permit to include copper and/or zinc numeric limitations,
as appropriate.

b) Written notification indicating your choice of option(s) as noted on page one of this
correspondence. Notification is due within 30 days after the date of the second WET Notice of
Violation. DWQ approval of options 1-3 (previous page) is not necessary as the Division expects work
to rule out copper and/or zinc as causative effluent toxicants to begin immediately upon the second
WET permit limit violation.
The permittee, upon experiencing two or more toxicity limit violations during a toxicity testing calendar
quarter must either provide DWQ with:
a) Written notification indicating acceptance of the prospective copper and/or zinc permit
limit. Notification is due within 30 days after the date of the second WET Notice of
Violation.
If you have any questions concerning this correspondence, please contact Mr. John Giorgino at [phone].

If the effluent is toxic, then we expect work to commence immediately with toxic effluent samples. Failure to
initiate work with toxic effluent samples during the study period is unacceptable and will be considered a failure to make
acceptable demonstration as cited above. We recommend a minimum of three separate sampling events during the nine
month period to definitively rule out copper and/or zinc as causative effluent toxicants.
Please note that your actions to notify DWQ of prospective limit acceptance or to notify DWQ of plan option(s) and
subsequent submission of a plan are contingent upon two or more toxicity NPDES permit limit violations occurring during a
toxicity testing calendar quarter.
Also note that the WET limit will remain in your NPDES permit regardless of whether metals are the source of
effluent toxicity. The data resulting from your actions to disprove copper and/or zinc as sources of effluent toxicity will
determine whether NPDES Permit limits will be assigned for these parameters. You are responsible for initiating actions to
address these issues.
You may consider entering into a Special Order by Consent (SOC) with DWQ. A SOC provides regulatory relief
for specific NPDES permit limit violations and, if signed, will contain a requirement to conduct a Toxicity Reduction
Evaluation. The SOC will contain a compliance schedule, stipulated penalties for failing to meet milestone activity dates and
may contain upfront penalties to settle past permit limit violations.
