DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY
November 15, 2006
To: Mike Mickey, Environmental Engineer
Surface Water, Winston-Salem Regional Office
From: Susan A. Wilson, Supervisor
Western NPDES Program
Subject: Speculative Limits Request:
Central Care, Inc.
NPDES Permit No. NCO038822
Surry County
The NPDES Program has performed a preliminary model for the potential relocation of the
discharge from the Central Care WWTP. I For the proposed location on the unnamed tributary
to Stewarts Creek at Highway 601, the following flows were estimated (reference USGS Low
Flow Report) based on a drainage area of 1.61 mi2:
7Q 10s = 0.21 cfs
7Q 10w = 0.34 cfs
Qavg = 2.17 cfs
Using these flows, a Level B model was performed for the permitted flow of 0.01 MGD. The
results of the Level B model indicated th6 following limits would be protective:
PF = 0.01 MGD
BOD5 = 30 mg/1
NH3-N (summer) = 11 mg/1 (no winter limit)
Residual chlorine = 28 ug/1 ;
(no effluent D.O. limit)
Other limits would remain the same.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (919) 733 - 5083, ext. 510.

Charles - Steve wants to tell Central Care what their limits would be if if they relocated. Can we
get a set of speculative limits if I sent a topo showing the proposed location? Mainly interested in
NH3-N. Mike.
Yes. Only Jackie & Toya do modeling, so it will take a little while.
Paul informed me that we would do a spec in this case. Normally we don't do them for private
facilities.
Send me the request. I'll meet with Susan to see who will model it.

Charles - We are meeting on Monday with Central Care, Inc. to discuss their
noncompliance situation.
One compliance option is for them to extend the outfall to a positive flow stream. What
criteria is used to determine if a facility gets a NH3-N limit?
The ammonia toxicity policy is attached. I think it answers your question ... I think.
