Application for Permit Modification
(LD PN 1014381) AUG 2 2 2017
Dear Ms Thedford, Water Quality
Permitting Section
On behalf of Transylvania Utilities, Inc (TUI), enclosed here with are an original and two copies of an application Form
D, for a proposed modification of the NDPES Permit NCO024295 (copy attached) for the Connestee Falls WWTP #1
The permit currently contains provisions allowing TUI to Increase the permitted discharge to 0 46 MGD upon receipt
of an Authorization to Construct
Transylvania Utilities, Inc (TUI) proposes to completely abandon the existing treatment facilities except for the Influent
pump station, which will be modified Having completed an evaluation of plant expansion and process alternatives, TUI
wishes to proceed with a phasing of the new plant with an Initial phase of 0 36 MGD Accordingly, LandDesign has
advanced designs and construction plans for this phase and will seek an Authorization to Construct No change in the
build out capacity of the NPDES permit of 0 46 MGD Is requested This request for permit modification assumes an
amended permit will Include, under Part I A, Effluent Limits and Monitoring Requirements — Outfall 001 (0 36 MGD)
A check covering the application fee of $1,030 Is also enclosed
As this request Is for a modification of the current permit and It Is noted that Effluent Limits and Monitoring
Requirements for the 0 30 MGD and 0 46 MGD flow rates are identical, we assume there would be no charge for an
intermediate flow rate of 0 36 MGD We would appreciate confirmation that this application process does not require
a new EAA and the current permit expiration date would remain the same
Thank you for your cooperation and we welcome any questions or comments This application package Is also being
submitted digitally and we would appreciate notification of the need for additional information

Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit Renewal and Expansion
Perms No. NCO024295
Connestee Falls WWTP No. 1
Transylvania County
Facility Class II
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal and expansion of the subject
permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued
pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and Memorandum of
Agreement between North Carolina and the U S Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15,
2007 (or as subsequently amended).
No changes were made to the draft permit sent to you on December 2, 2015. The final permit
authorizes Transylvania Utilities Inc to discharge wastewater from the Connestee Falls WWTP No. 1 to
French Broad River, a class B; Tr water in the French Broad River Bann. The permit includes discharge
limitations and/or monitoring for flow, BODS, ammonia nitrogen, total suspended solids (TSS), pH,
temperature, total residual chlorine, fecal coliform, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) provided comments on Connestee
Falls WWTP No. 1's draft permit, expressing concern over potential impacts from the expanded
wastewater discharge to downstream aquatic life.
• Specifically, WRC expressed concerns over the use of chlorine and its potential toxicity to
aquatic life In response, DWR encourages the permittee to avoid overdosing during
chlorination with current facility. The proposed new facility (permitted flow of 0.46 MGD) is
designed to have UV disinfection and a backup chlorination/dechlorination system.
• WRC encouraged the permittee to implement measures to reduce ammonia -nitrogen in the
effluent due to the fact that peak effluent ammonia concentrations in the summer of 2014 and
2015 were 9.2 and 6 9 mg/L, respectively. DWR has discussed with the permittee the plant
operation during the summer s of 2014 and 2015. The operation log sheets showed one of the
mechanical aerators was down foi repair from Aug. 8 to Oct. 30 in 2014 which could have
potentially affected the effluent ammonia levels However, no operation issues were found in

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be
representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is
not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar DU
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case-by-case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods

device or method required to be maintained under this permit shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not
more than $10,000 per violation, or by imprisonment for not more than two years per violation, or by both. If a
conviction of a person is for a violation committed after a first conviction of such person under this paragraph,
punishment is a fine of not more than $20,000 per day of violation, or by imprisonment of not more than 4 years,
or both [40 CFR 122.41]
