VAN DER VAART Secretary S. JAY ZIMMERMAN Director April 13, 2016 Dear Mr. Pearce: 1. 2. 3. Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Durham Triangle WWTP Permit No. NC0026051 Durham County The 12 MGD wastewater facility consists of the following unit: fine mechanical bar screens; mechanical grit removal; Parshall flume; influent pump station with 6 pumps; three (3) 5-stage BNR trains; four (4) secondary clarifiers; five (5) shallow bed sandfilters; UV disinfection; post aeration; two (2) ultrasonic effluent flow meters; bulk reclaimed water pump station; bulk reclaimed water storage tank; sludge lagoon; waste and RAS pumping system; methanol, potassium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite storage and feed systems; liquid waste activated sludge storage; sludge dewatering facility with three centrifuges; sludge truck loading station for contract composting operation; three (3) on-site generators. At the time of inspection, the screenings collector, compactor, odor control system, and grit classifier were operating normally. The number 1 and 3 BNR trains were on line. The number 2 BNR train was being drained. A broken rotor in aeration basin number 2 has been taken out of service. Train 1 is being started up to replace train 2. You explained installing diffused aeration may be an option instead of repairing and replacing the broken rotor. Number 1 and 3 secondary clarifiers were in use. Number 2 and 4 secondary clarifiers were not in use due to low flow. Sludge blankets are being kept around 3 feet in order to seed the other train being put on line. All shallow bed sandfilters were on line. One bank of UV was being operated due to low flow. Effluent appeared clear in the reaeration zone. The sludge EQ basin was approximately 40% full. One sludge holding tank was off line for cleaning and resealing. The other sludge holding tank was one-quarter full. There was no sludge being dewatered at the time of inspection.

At the time of inspection, the screenings collector, compactor, odor control system, and grit classifier were operating normally. The number 1 and 3 BNR trains were on line. The number 2 BNR train was being drained. A broken rotor in aeration basin number 2 has been taken out of service. Train 1 is being started up to replace train 2. You stated installing diffused aeration may be an option instead of repairing and replacing the broken rotor. Number 1 and 3 secondary clarifiers were in use. Number 2 and 4 secondary clarifiers were not in use due to low flow. Sludge blankets are being kept around 3 feet in order to seed the other train being put on line. All shallow bed sandfilters were on line. One bank of UV was being operated due to low flow. Effluent appeared clear in the reaeration zone. The sludge EQ basin was approximately 40% full. One sludge holding tank was off line for cleaning and resealing. The other sludge holding tank was one-quarter full. There was no sludge being dewatered at the time of inspection. The laboratory was checked in a cursory manner. Durham Triangle WWTP laboratory analyzes pH, total residual low level chlorine, temperature, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen. Toxicity is split between Merritech and ETS. Merritech analyzes all other parameters. All instruments, meters, probes, photometric cells are maintained in good condition. All standards, reagents and consumables used are within expiration dates.

VAN DER VAART Director May 25, 2016 I I IC Subject: NO DENR Raleigh Regional Dear NPDES Permittee: EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period. The two phases of the rule, and their key milestones, are: Upcoming NPDES Permit Reissuance The NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule requires authorized NPDES programs to incorporate electronic reporting requirements into NPDES permits beginning December 21, 2015. Under the new rule, the electronic reporting process supersedes the paper reporting process outlined in your existing permit. According to our records, your NPDES permit is up for renewal. If you have submitted your renewal application, or you are in the process of doing so, and are awaiting your reissued NPDES permit, then this letter serves to notify you that your reissued permit will include the new electronic reporting requirements. The reissued permit will require electronic reporting in place of paper-based reporting. Joseph Pearce Durham County 5926 NC Hwy 55 E Durham, NC 27713 • Phase 1 - Starting on December 21, 2016, regulated entities that are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) will begin submitting these reports electronically. If you are currently reporting your DMR data electronically using eDMR, then you simply need to continue reporting in the same way as you are now. The key change is that, starting on December 21, 2016, electronic reporting of DMRs will be required, instead of voluntary. • Phase 2-Starting on December 21, 2020, regulated entities that are required to submit certain other NPDES reports will begin submitting these reports electronically. Reports covered in the second phase include Notices of Intent to discharge in compliance with an NPDES general permit, Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports, and a number of other NPDES program reports. NPDES Electronic Reporting Requirements Triangle WWTP NPDES Permit Number: NC0026051 Water Resources ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY State of North Carolina | Environmental Quality | Water Resources 1617 Mail Service Center j Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 919 807 6300 Secretary S. JAY ZIMMERMAN The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently published the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule. The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to report information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports. The rule does not change what information is required from facilities. It only changes the method by which information is provided (i.e., electronic rather than paper-based). Sincerely, Jeffrey O. forS. Jay Zimmerman, P.G. Cc: In addition to requiring permittees to report information electronically, the rule also requires permittees to identify the initial recipient for the NPDES electronic reporting data [see 40 CFR 122.41(l)(9)]. Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities (initial recipient) means the entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity for receiving electronic NPDES Data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)]. Permittees are required to electronically submit the required NPDES information to the appropriate initial recipient, as determined by EPA. By July 18, 2016, EPA must identify and publish on its web site and in the Federal Register a listing of initial recipients by state and by NPDES data group. Once available, you should use EPA's web site to identify the initial recipient of your electronic submission. EPA's web site will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type of electronic submission for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Regardless of when you receive your reissued NPDES permit, electronic reporting will be required beginning as indicated above for Phases 1 and 2 reporting. NC DWR has requested to be the initial recipient for the following NPDES data groups: 1. Discharge Monitoring Reports; 2. General Permit Reports [Notices of Intent to discharge (NOIs); Notices of Termination (NOTs)]; 3. Pretreatment Program Reports; and 4. Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports NPDES File Central Files Raleigh Regional Office / Water Quality Program For more information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule, visit http://www2.epa.gov/compliance/final-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-npdes- electronic-reporting-rule.

(There are two parallel generators for the BNR.) • Page 7 - second question - Is nutrient removal process operating properly? You marked no. I think you probably meant to mark "Yes". I think we probably operate the best nutrient removal municipal wastewater treatment plant in this state! I may be a little biased. • Page 7- seventh question - air scour. You marked yes. Traveling bridge filters do not use air scour, it is water backflow scoured - "NA". If you would review and concur via email, it would be appreciated.

I did miss one of the parallel generator for the BNR. I did incorrectly mark the BIMS sheet "NO" for the question of is nutrient removal process operating properly. I also marked on the BIMS sheet air scoured for the Traveling Bridge filters when it should have been N/A. Thanks for your review Joe.
