Service Center Raleigh,'North Carolina 27699-1617 Re Long Term Monitoring Plan Town of Clayton, NC NPDES No. NCO025453 Dear Mr. Hassan: R �gumn of 2017mspgaaafty Enclosed please find an updated Long Term Monitoring Plan for the Town of Clayton. As recommended by DEQ staff Temp., pH and DO were removed from the list of parameters. In addition, Hospira has moved from Clayton and therefore removed from the document. Detection levels were changed to reflect the lowest levels provided by our outside laboratory (Environment 1). Please contact me at 919-553-1536 if you have any questions. Sincerely: ?�ames Warren, Town of Clayton, Wastewater Operations Superintendent 653 Highway 42 West • P.O.

Gauging the treatment capability of the Town's treatment works; iii. Performing and maintaining headworks analysis for the treatment facility; iv. Establishing local limits for the control of pollutants entering the Town's treatment facility. The long term monitoring plan is incorporated as part of the existing monitoring program that includes the NPDES, Land Application, and Reclaim Water Permits. It should be noted that this document describes frequencies for the long term operation, since the first year requirements have been met. Identification of Pollutants of Concern The pollutants of concern include parameters listed by the US -EPA guidance documents as being pollutants of general concern; pollutants limited in the Town's NPDES, Land Application, and Reclaim Water Permits; and those pollutants listed in industrial wastewater discharge applications having the potential to harm, inhibit or hinder the treatment process, endanger personnel, and the environment. Pollutants of concern (POC) are listed under the section titled Parameters. The Town will also sample domestic only sources to determine background concentrations for use in the headworks analysis. Significant Industrial Users The Town of Clayton currently has two (2) Significant Industrial Users (SIU). These SIUs are pharmaceutical manufacturers and must comply with local limits and EPA categorical pretreatment standards. As of the effective date of this document, these SIUs include: • Grifols SIU# 0001-02 • Novo Nordisk SIU# 0003-02 Sampling schedules are described in each SIU permit for pollutants identified as pollutants of concern. During the permit renewal process a historical review or additional sampling of pollutants of concern are required. Additional sampling is also required if an industry exceeds permit limits for listed parameters, or if an SIU pollutant levels rise. If necessary the Town reserves the right to sample whenever a potential problem may arise with the treatment works, collection system, or for concerns with human health and safety. Little Creek Water Reclamation Facility The initial short term monitoring requirements have been met; as a result the facility is operating under the long term scenario. Sampling is conducted to meet the conditions of the existing permits, quarterly for influent and effluent POCs, semiannually for the activated sludge mixed liquor, and annually for the domestic waste stream. Sampling Locations Sampling locations for data collection and compliance for the SIUs are found in said permits. Sampling points for the treatment facility are listed below and identified on the plant schematic. 1) SIUs (off site) 2) Influent 3) Effluent 4) Aeration Basin Mixed Liquor 5) Sludge 6) Domestic (in collection system) Parameters The parameters in the long-term monitoring program include pollutants that may reasonably expected to be discharged into the Town's wastewater collection system or treatment system in concentrations that may inhibit the Town's ability to discharge effluent or biosolids within permit limits. In addition, consideration is given for worker or public safety, and nuisance conditions that may be produced from the discharge of the pollutants. Any pollutants limited in the Town's NPDES, Reclaim, and Land Application Permits are automatically considered to be pollutants of concern. Flow monitoring will be available as needed to quantify pollutants of concern. The following list pollutants of concern, detection limits, sampling methods, and sampling locations. Summary of Monitoring Schedule The facility is currently operating under the long term scenario. The following table illustrates the sampling frequencies: Location: Monitoring Frequency SIUs (1) Per IUP LCWRF: Influent (2) Quarterly + permit requirements LCWRF: Effluent (3) Quarterly + permit requirements Aeration Basin (4) Semi -Annually Biosolids (5) Annually Domestic Wastewater (6) Annually Pollutants of Concern: Pharm. 439 includes: Acetone, n -Amyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate, Isopropyl Acetate, and Methylene Chloride Mercury Effluent, EPA 1631 Sample Locations Pollutant Det.
