Subject: Permit No. WQ0006798
Minor Correction
Coastal Regional Solid Waste Management Authority
Carteret County Solid Waste Transfer Station
Washdown Water Pump and Haul
Carteret County
On May 10, 1993, the Division of Environmental Management issued Permit No. WQ0006798 to
the Coastal Regional Solid Waste Management Authority for the subject washdown water pump and haul
operation. Since that time, the Division has discovered that part of condition number 19 was inadvertently
omitted from the issued permit; therefore, in accordance with the conversation between you and Randy
Jones, of my staff, on June 1, 1993, Permit No. WQ0006798 is being reissued to the Coastal Regional
Solid Waste Management Authority to make this minor correction.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 1998, shall void Permit No.
WQ0006798, which was issued on May 10, 1993, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein. The Coastal Regional Solid Waste Management Authority shall notify the Division, in
writing, when Permit No. WQ0007600, which was issued on February 23, 1993, is no longer required.
The pump and haul activities associated with this permit (WQ0006798) shall not begin until written
authorization is provided by the Division. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements in
this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational
information will result in future compliance problems.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of this
permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150E of North
Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer 27447,
Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.

15. The Coastal Regional Solid Waste Management Authority is responsible for obtaining
monitoring results from the transfer station wastewater that will be pumped and hauled to
the Town of Newport's Wastewater Treatment Facility, for the constituents listed below.
This monitoring will be conducted for five discrete pump and haul events, beginning with
the second pump and haul activity, and shall be performed for every second pump and haul
event thereafter, for the remaining four monitoring events. These monitoring events shall,
as much as possible, coincide with the Town of Newport WWTF effluent monitoring
requirements specified in condition 16, to ensure that both monitoring events include the
same pumped and hauled wastewater. Additionally, the Coastal Regional Solid Waste
Management Authority is responsible for maintaining records which include: name of
facility, date monitoring is performed, time of day monitoring is performed, location from
which samples are collected, and volume of wastewater being pumped and hauled in the

16. The Coastal Regional Solid Waste Management Authority is responsible for obtaining
monitoring results from the Town of Newport's Wastewater Treatment Facility effluent for
the constituents listed below. This monitoring will be conducted for five discrete pump and
haul events, beginning with the second pump and haul activity, and shall be performed for
every second pump and haul event thereafter, for the remaining four monitoring events.
These monitoring events shall, as much as possible, coincide with the transfer station
monitoring of the wastewater that will be pumped and hauled, as specified in condition 15,
to ensure that both monitoring events include the same pumped and hauled wastewater.
The effluent monitoring shall be performed at a time when the treated pumped and hauled
wastewater would be expected to be a part of that effluent, considering the detention time in
the wastewater treatment facility. Effluent sampling for all testing shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted final effluent discharge, below all treatment processes and each event
shall consist of twenty-four hour composite samples. Additionally, the Coastal Regional
Solid Waste Management Authority is responsible for maintaining records which include:
name of facility, date monitoring is performed, time of day monitoring is performed,
location from which samples are collected, effluent flow (GPD) of WWTF at time of
sample collection, and date and time of day that pumped and hauled wastewater in
equalization/storage tank was released into WWTF and date and time of day that such
release to WWTF ceased (includes only the most recent event prior to or during
monitoring).

18. The Coastal Regional Solid Waste Management Authority is responsible for obtaining the
results from two chronic toxicity tests to be performed on the Town of Newport's
Wastewater Treatment Facility effluent. The sampling for this testing shall be performed
prior to effluent disinfection and shall consist of twenty-four hour composite samples. The
chronic toxicity tests shall be performed using test procedures outlined in The North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989 or subsequent versions).
The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure
document is 66%. The Coastal Regional Solid Waste Management Authority is responsible
for ensuring that this procedure is used to establish compliance with the permit condition.
The first toxicity test event will be performed prior to the occurrence of any pump and haul
activities. These sample results shall be labeled, "Prior to Pump and Haul." The remaining
toxicity test event shall be performed after the second pump and haul event, and in
conjunction with the first sample event required in condition 16. DEM Forms AT -1
(original), for both toxicity testing events, are to be sent to the following address:
Environmental Sciences Branch.
NC Division of Environmental Management

The test data shall be complete and accurate and shall include all supporting
chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as
all dose/response data.
Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an
invalid test and will require retesting. Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute
noncompliance with those applicable requirements in this permit.
