City of Raleigh
E.M. Johnson Water Treatment Plant
Surface Disposal of Residual Solids (503 Exempt)
Wake County
Dear Mr. Crisp.
In accordance with your permit modification application package received on October 8, 2002 as
well as the additional information received on February 28, 2003 and April 7, 2003, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0008431, dated May 9, 2003, to the City of Raleigh (City)for the continued
operation of modified residuals conveyance facilities and a surface disposal unit at its E.M. Johnson
Water Treatment Plant.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 31, 2004; shall void Permit
No. WQ0008431, issued on February 22, 2000; and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein.
This permit approves the operation of a relocated combination residuals conveyance/supernatant
return pipeline at the surface disposal unit. This pipeline, which was previously installed above -grade,
has now been relocated below -grade. The City performed this relocation work following receipt of a
correspondence that was sent by the Water Quality Section of the Division of Water Quality's (Division)
Raleigh Regional Office on August 23, 2002. No formal approval was requested or granted by the
Division prior to the relocation of the pipeline; however, it is noted that the City may have thought that,
by immediately relocating the pipeline, it was responding to the Division's correspondence satisfactorily.
Please note for future reference, that operation, alteration, expansion, and/or change of any residuals
facility/management program without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute
§ 143-215.1 and may subject the owner/operator of the facility/program to enforcement action in
accordance with North Carolina General Statute § 143-215.6.
In addition to the approval of the above referenced modification, significant modifications have
been made to this permit, including the approval of the City of Raleigh's request to remove plant
available nitrogen and sulfate from the Iist of parameters for which the residuals must be monitored on a
regular basis and a provision to allow future removal of residuals from the surface disposal unit.
Therefore, please take the time to review this permit thoroughly as many of the conditions contained
therein may have been added, changed, or deleted since this permit was last issued. In particular, please
note the following.

♦ This permit allows residuals to be conveyed to the surface disposal unit from three different
points in the residuals management process (i.e., following the residuals blending tanks, from
the residuals thickeners, or from the thickened residuals pump station).
♦ During a site visit performed by the Division on March 25, 2003, it was noted that the level
gauge that is currently existing to monitor freeboard within the surface disposal unit was not
installed such that freeboard is monitored at a location where the unit's embankment is at its
lowest elevation. Therefore, Condition I. 1. requires that the City of Raleigh relocate the
level gauge within a 90-calendar day period. A certification from a North Carolina -licensed
professional engineer is required to be submitted to serve as proof of compliance with this
requirement.
♦ Condition 1. 12. allows relocation of the temporary above -ground residuals distribution
pipeline without prior approval from the Division as long as certain requirements are met.
Note also that special attention to this pipeline is required during the inspections stipulated in
Section V. of this permit.
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. Please also make note of this permit's expiration date and the fact that a permit
renewal is due to the Division of Water Quality (Division) no later than six months prior to that date, as
the Division does not send reminders to apply for permit renewal.
If any parts, requirements, or Iimitations 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 150B of North
Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding.
One copy of the Division -approved plans is enclosed herein for your files. If you need any
additional information concerning this matter, please contact Ms. Shannon Mohr Thornburg by telephone
at (919) 733-5083, extension 353, or via e-mail at shannon.thomburg@ncmail.net.
