Permit Renewal
NPDES NC0023353
Bladen County
Dear Permitting Unit:
The Town of White Lake has an NPDES discharge permit that will expire on January 31, 2017.
We are submitting the permit renewal package for your review. This renewal package includes:
• Cover Letter;
• Completed application form NPDES Form 2A;
• Sludge Management Plan; and
• Two copies of the renewal package.
The Town would like to request that the following modifications be made to the permit:
I. The permit cover letter dated August 3, 2012 states that the WWTP is a Class I facility.
This rating is consistent with 15A NCAC 08G .0302 CLASSIFICATION OF
BIOLOGICAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL TREATMENT SYSTEMS that
states that biological lagoon systems shall be classified as a Class I system. But, the
current permit has weekly monitoring requirements for conventional pollutants. This
monitoring is reflective of wastewater plants that are classified as Class II systems. We
request that the monitoring of the conventional pollutants be changed to 2/month as
specified in the regulations.
II. We request the following changes on the Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet:
a. The sheet indicates five floating aerators. We would like to have the page
amended to remove the numeric designation. The town would like to have the
ability to add aeration as needed without having to apply for an Authorization to
Construct. Aeration capacity itself is the process and is separate from the number
of units in-service.
b. Please remove the chart recorder as components. The recorder is not a process
component and does not affect the treatment process.
c. Please remove the vacuum regulators and gages as a components. These
components are ancillary to the disinfection process and are not treatment
processes.

III. We request that monitoring requirements for upstream and downstream temperature and
dissolved oxygen be removed entirely or that the monitoring requirements be changed to
once per month for the entire year. We feel the objectives of the .0500 rules are being
achieved by requiring the WWTP to maintain an effluent dissolved oxygen of greater
than 5.0 mg/1. Regarding temperature, there are no operational controls that will affect
temperature. The Town has no industries that could contribute high temperature wastes
and the detention time of the lagoon is greater than 30 days. Given the detention times,
the water temperature will be stabilized so as to nearly match the receiving waters.
Effluent temperature from a lagoon system will have no environmental impacts.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact Tim Frush or Bill Stafford at: 910/862-
4800.
Sincerely,
H. Goldston Wo e,Mayor
Town of White Lake

Sludge Management Plan
The Town of White Lake operates a 0.8 mgd stabilization lagoon. Sludge settles to the bottom
of the lagoon and is anaerobically digested and stabilized. The build-up of solids is gradual due
the digestion process. The sludge depth in the lagoon is monitored and once the accumulation
has a negative impact on operations, arrangements will be made for the removal and disposal of
the sludge. All activities will be in accordance with regulatory requirements.
