Basic Facility Information Facility Information Applicant/Facility Name: City of Mount Holly Mount Holly WWTP Applicant Address: P.O. Box 406, Mount Holly NC 28120 Facility Address: 201 Broome St., Mount Holly NC 28120 Permitted Flow: 4.0 MGD Facility Type/Waste: MAJOR Municipal; 52% domestic, 48% industrial' Facility Class: Grade IV Treatment Units: Manual screen, Grit removal, EQ basin, Aeration, Clarification, Chlorination, Dechlorination Pretreatment Program (Y/N) Yes County: Gaston Region Mooresville 'Based on actual flows provided by PERCS for the calendar year 2017; permitted industrial flow is 1.6 MGD or 40% of total permitted flow. Briefly describe the proposed permitting action and facility background: The City of Mount Holly has applied for NPDES permit renewal and submitted a renewal application that was received by DWR on August 1, 2014. This facility serves a population of 13,676 residents and operates a pretreatment program with four Significant Industrial Users (SIUs), all of which are categorical. The SIUs include: 1) American Page 1 of 13 & Efird, Inc. (CIU: 40 CFR 410 - textile), 2) Buckeye Mt. Holly, LLC (CIU 410 - textile), 3) Clariant Corporation (CIU: 40 CFR 414 - organic chemicals, and 40 CFR 455 - pesticides), and 4) Daimler Trucks North America (Mount Holly) (CIU: 40 CFR 413 - electroplating). In addition, the WWTP receives wastewater from the Jadco-Hughes groundwater remediation site and the Triangle Texaco groundwater remediation site. A modified NPDES permit was issued effective February 1, 2015 with the following changes: • Mercury limits and monitoring requirements were removed, • A Mercury Minimization Plan special condition was added in accordance with the statewide Mercury TMDL • Extension of the Total Phosphorus (TP) annual limit effective date by one year, to 2015. A Nutrient Allocation Transfer Agreement between the City of Charlotte and the City of Mount Holly was signed by city officials of each city and became effective on May 3, 2018. This agreement allows for the transfer of nutrient (Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus) allocations from the City of Charlotte to the City of Mount Holly WWTP for the period during which the City of Charlotte's Joe C. Stowe, Jr. Regional Water Resources Reclamation Facility (Stowe WRRF) is undergoing construction, including the connecting of the Mount Holly collection system to Stowe WRRF. Once the construction is complete, all nutrient allocations will be transferred from Mount Holly WWTP to Stowe WRRF. See Section 6: Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations for more details. 2. Receiving Waterbody Information Mount Holly WWTP discharges into the Catawba River downstream of Mountain Island Lake, which has a nominal year-round regulated release of 80 cfs. An adjusted control release of 95 cfs was determined by adding the flow from the drainage area downstream of the dam (15 cfs).

Instream Data Summary Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example: 1) to verify model predictions when model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/l of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to verify model predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future TMDL; 4) based on other instream concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also Monitoring Coalitions established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in which case instream monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained). If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will be proposed for this permit action: The current permit requires instream monitoring for Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Temperature, and Conductivity. Instream monitoring locations are at the NC Hwy 27 bridge (upstream) and just below the NC Hwy 29 / NC Hwy 74 bridge (downstream). Instream DO remains in the permit as a parameter of concern for aquatic life. Review of submitted instream data from June 2016 through January 2019 revealed similar patterns of DO values between up- and downstream stations throughout the period examined, with summer minima dipping below the standard of 5 mg/L (15A NCAC 02B .02011) at both locations (upstream range: 4.5-12.4 mg/L; downstream range: 4.8-12.5 mg/L). Concurrent effluent values were lower than those at either instream location, especially during winter months (range: 5.0-8.0 mg/L with one outlier at 3.7 mg/L). Instream Temperature remains in the permit as a parameter of concern for aquatic life. Instream temperature data for the period above showed similar patterns between up- and downstream locations, with summer maxima consistently exceeding the 29°C standard for upper Piedmont and mountain waters (15A NCAC 02B .02011) (upstream range: 5.9-33.0 °C, downstream range: 7.0-33.0 °C). Downstream temperature increased higher than the upper piedmont and mountain waters standard of 2.8°C above the upstream temperature (15A NCAC 02B .02011) three out of 243 days measured; the highest increase was 3.9°C. These increases were due to the discharge, but neither exceeded the 29°C stream temperature standard. Concurrent effluent temperatures were also similar, but with lower summer maxima (range: 9.0-29.0 °C). Instream Conductivity remains in the permit as a parameter of concern due to industrial dischargers. Reviewed data showed measures between up- and downstream stations not to differ (parried sample t-test; t = 0.697, p = 0.24; upstream range: 58.0-108 umhos/cm, downstream range: 58.0-96.5 umhos/cm). Although the facility has a pretreatment program with four SIUs, conductivity is not monitored in the effluent. The lack of difference between the two instream locations indicate that effluent is not having an impact on the receiving waters, and therefore effluent conductivity does not need to be monitored. Fecal Coliform is a parameter of concern for aquatic life and human health. Instream monitoring for Fecal Coliform was previously in the permit, but removed in 2002 based on permitting guidance and instream data review, wherein similar counts between upstream and downstream samples showed little or no correlation to the discharge. Effluent coliform counts from February 2015 through January 2018 were mostly well below limits, with a geometric mean of 8/100 mL, and the receiving stream is not impaired for Page 4 of 13 coliform. Therefore, instream monitoring for Fecal Coliform is not needed and will not be reinserted into the permit. No changes are proposed for instream monitoring. Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (YIN): NO Name of Monitoring Coalition: 5. Compliance Summary Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): The facility reported three coliform exceedences (2 weekly average and 1 monthly average) in June 2018, each generating a Notice of Violation (NOV). Four DO values did not reach the daily minimum in December 2015, September 2016, August 2017, and September 2018, generating one NOV (in 2015) and two Notices of Deficiency (NOD). One pH measure in September 2016 did not reach the daily minimum, generating a NOD. Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results (past 5 years): The facility passed 16 of 16 quarterly chronic toxicity tests, as well as all 4 second species chronic toxicity tests, collected 2/16/2017, 4/20/2017, 7/20/2014, 8/17/2014, plus the more recent tests run in November 2016, August 2017, and February 2018. Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The most recent facility inspection conducted in January 13, 2018 reported that the facility was well maintained and operated. 6. Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) Dilution and Mixin=� Zones In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0206, the following streamflows are used for dilution considerations for development of WQBELs: 1Q10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic Life; non -carcinogen HIT); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH). If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMIX model results): NA If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B. 0204(b): NA Oxygen -Consuming Waste Limitations Limitations for oxygen -consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to ensure protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits (e.g., BOD = 30 mg/L for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and model results. Ifpermit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed: NA Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia (NH3-N) chronic criterion of 1.0 mg/L (summer) and 1.8 mg/L (winter). Acute NH3-N limits are derived from chronic criteria, utilizing a multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non - Municipals. Page 5 of 13 Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection of aquatic life (17 µg/L) and capped at 28 µg/L (acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values reported below 50 µg/L are considered compliant with their permit limit. Describe any proposed changes to NH3-N and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: Currently the permit has a 28 µg/L daily maximum limit for TRC and no limits for NH3-N. Both parameters were reviewed in the attached NH3/TRC Wasteload Allocation (WLA) spreadsheet using the annual 7Q10 of 95 cfs. The spreadsheet calculated a TRC allowable concentration capped at 28 µg/L, which will reNain in the permit as a limit. The spreadsheet calculated NH3-N allowable concentrations of 13.0/26.0 mg/L summer/winter monthly average (weekly averages were > 35.0 mg/L and thus required monitoring only). A review of submitted effluent data from February 2015- January 2019 showed data to be well below allowable concentrations (Fig. 1). Therefore, the monitor -only requirement for Ammonia will be maintained in the permit.

Effluent Ammonia -Nitrogen data against WLA-derived allowable concentrations. Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants If applicable, conduct RPA analysis and complete information below. The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero background; 3) use of %2 detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) streamflows used for dilution consideration based on 15A NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards, dated June 10, 2016. A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between February 2015 and January 2019. Pollutants of concern included toxicants with positive detections and associated water quality standards/criteria. Based on this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for this permit: Page 6 of 13 • Effluent Limit with Monitoring. The following parameters will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL) since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria: None. • Monitoring Only. The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria, but the maximum predicted concentration was > 50% of the allowable concentration: None. • No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria and the maximum predicted concentration was < 50% of the allowable concentration: Antimony, Arsenic, Beryllium, Cadmium, Total Chromium, Copper, Cyanide, Bromodichloromethane, Lead, Molybdenum, Nickel, Phenol, Selenium, Silver, Zinc. • POTW Effluent Pollutant Scan Review: Three effluent pollutant scans were evaluated for additional pollutants of concern. Bromoform, Dibromochloromethane. o The following parameter(s) will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL) with monitoring, since as part of a limited data set, two samples exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: None. o The following parameter(s) will receive a monitor -only requirement, since as part of a limited data set, one sample exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: None. If applicable, attach a spreadsheet of the RPA results as well as a copy of the Dissolved Metals Implementation Fact Sheet for freshwater/saltwater to this Fact Sheet. Include a printout of the RPA Dissolved to Total Metal Calculator sheet if this is a Municipality with a Pretreatment Program. Toxicity Testing Limitations Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits issued to Major facilities or any facility discharging "complex" wastewater (contains anything other than domestic waste) will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements, with several exceptions. The State has received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in NPDES permits, using single concentration screening tests, with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test failure. Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: This is a Major POTW, and a chronic WET limit at 6% effluent concentration will continue on a quarterly frequency. Mercury Statewide TMDL Evaluation There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply with EPA's mercury fish tissue criteria (0.3 mg/kg) for human health protection. The TMDL established a wasteload allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year (81 lb/year), and is applicable to municipals and industrial facilities with known mercury discharges. Given the small contribution of mercury from point sources (-2% of total load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MMPs) for point source control. Municipal facilities > 2 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury (> 1 ng/L) will receive an MMP requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case -by -case basis, depending if mercury is a pollutant of concern. Effluent limits may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed the WQBEL value (based on the NC WQS of 12 ng/L) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL value of 47 ng/L. Page 7 of 13 Table 2. Mercury Effluent Data Summary. Parameter 2016 2017 2018 No. of Samples 1 4 4 Annual Average Conc. ng/L 18.2 4.5 3.8 Maximum Conc., ng/L 18.20 6.59 9.02 TBEL, ng/L 47 WQBEL, ng/L 195.9 Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: The Mercury TMDL was implemented in the 2015 NPDES permit modification with removal of previous mercury limits and insertion of a Mercury Minimization Plan (MMP) special condition based on evaluation of data collected from 2011-2014 and facility size. The Permittee has developed and submitted the required Mercury Minimization Plan, dated July 2015. Data collected since the permit modification were evaluated, yielding the same results: no annual average mercury concentration exceeded the WQBEL, and no individual mercury sample exceeded the TBEL (Table 2). Because the facility is greater than 2 MGD and has reported quantifiable levels of mercury (> 1 ng/L), the Mercury Minimization Plan special condition will be modified to maintain the plan. Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation within this permit: The permit currently contains effluent nutrient load limits to comply with the Lake Wylie TMDL permitting strategy. The TMDL states that all facilities must meet a summer limit of 6 mg/L Total Nitrogen (TN) and an annual limit of 1 mg/L Total Phosphorus (TP). These limits translate to load allocations of 64,200 lb/summer TN and 18,250 lb/yr TP for Mount Holly WWTP. Related to the load limits are monthly monitoring requirements (including total monthly flow), and special conditions for nutrient allocations, nutrient limits, and calculating nutrient loads. Current permit monitoring for TN (including TKN and NO2+NO3) and TP concentrations on a weekly basis is consistent with 2010 Catawba River Basin Plan recommendations. Nutrient TMDL-related limits, monitoring requirements, and special conditions were added via permit modification in January 2015. A nutrient allocation transfer agreement between the City of Charlotte and City of Mount Holly became effective on May 3, 2018. This agreement allows for a multi -step process of allocation transfers from three WWTPs (Mt, Holly, Belmont and the former Clariant Corp. WWTPs) to one future regional WWTP under the Lake Wylie TMDL. The agreement allows the City of Charlotte to transfer TN and TP load allocations from the Clariant Corp. WWTP to Mt. Holly WWTP and Belmont WWTP until Charlotte's regional WWTP and the connections from Mt. Holly and Belmont collection systems to it are constructed. After construction of the regional WWTP and connections to it are made, all nutrient allocations will be transferred from Mount Holly and Belmont WWTPs to the new plant. In light of this agreement, the load allocations and limits were modified in the permit to include allocations transferred from the former Clariant WWTP (Table 3). Page 8 of 13 Table 3.

Technology -Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs) Municipals (if not =licable, delete and skip to Industrials] Are'concentration limits in the permit at least as stringent as secondary treatment requirements (30 mg/L BOD.sITSS for Monthly Average, and 45 mg/L for BODs/TSS for Weekly Average). YES If NO, provide a justification for alternative limitations (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA Are 85% removal requirements for BOD51TSS included in the permit? YES If NO, provide a justification (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA 8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge): The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation review in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit must document an effort to consider non -discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.0105(c)(2). In all cases, existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is maintained and protected. If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: NA 9. Antibacksliding Review: Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(1) prohibit backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a Page 9 of 13 reissued permit to be as stringent as those in the previous permit, with some exceptions where limitations may be relaxed (e.g., based on new information, increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL limits, or WQBELs may be less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution). Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit (YES/NO): NO If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated: NA 10. Monitoring Requirements Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following regulations and guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 2B.0500; 2) NPDES Guidance, Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances (7/15/2010 Memo); 3) NPDES Guidance, Reduced Monitoring Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance (10/22/2012 Memo); 4) Best Professional Judgement (BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not considered effluent limitations under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti -backsliding prohibitions would not be triggered by reductions in monitoring frequencies. No parameters have reduced monitoring frequencies. For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4. 11. Electronic Reporting Requirements The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21, 2015. Effective December 21, 2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) electronically. Effective December 21, 2020, NPDES regulated facilities will be required to submit additional NPDES reports electronically. This permit contains the requirements for electronic reporting, consistent with Federal requirements. 12. Summary of Proposed Permitting Actions: Table 4.

The US EPA subsequently approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016, with some exceptions. Therefore, metal limits in draft permits out to public notice after April 6, 2016 must be calculated to protect the new standards - as approved. Table 1.

However, application of the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge. The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream) hardness and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge. Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The discharge -specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal (more on that below), but it is also possible to consider case -specific translators developed in accordance with established methodology. RPA Permitting Guidance/WQBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern, based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based on applicable standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream. If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e. consistently below detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit. 1. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the following information: • Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10 (the spreadsheet automatically calculates the 1 Q 10 using the formula 1 Q 10 = 0.843 (s7Q 10, cfs) 0.993 • Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred • Permitted flow • Receiving stream classification 2. In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness -dependent metal of concern and for each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and instream (upstream) hardness values to use in the equations. The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for any hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for instream hardness values, upstream of the discharge. If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation using a default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)). Minimum and maximum limits on the hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400 mg/L, respectively. If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness -dependent metal showing reasonable potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site -specific effluent and upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using the new data. Page 2 of 4 Permit No. NC0021156 The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows: Combined Hardness (chronic) = Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. Effluent Hardness m L + (s7Q 10 cfs *Avp,. Upstream Hardness mg/L (Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q 10, cfs) The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the IQ 10 flow. 3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total recoverable metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site -specific translators, if any have been developed using federally approved methodology. EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved" converts the value for dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in -stream ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients found in The Metals Translator. Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion (EPA $23-B-96-007, June 1996) and the equation: Cdiss = 1 Ctotal 1 + { [Kp.] [ssIl+al] [10-6] } Where: ss = in -stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1], minimum of 10 mg/L used, and Kpo and a = constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved and adsorbed forms of metals. A list of constants used for each hardness -dependent metal can also be found in the RPA program under a sheet labeled DPCs. 4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition coefficient (or site -specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist (ie. silver), the dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion factor to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This method presumes that the metal is dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria development for metals. For more information on conversion factors see the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document. 5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable concentration (permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation: Ca = (s7Q 10 + Qw) (Cwgs) — (s7010) (Cb) Qw Where: Ca = allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L) Cwqs = NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria (µg/L or mg/L) Cb = background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or mg/L) Qw = permitted effluent flow (cfs, match s7Q 10) s7Q 10 = summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from noncarcinogens (cfs) * Discussions are on -going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations Flows other than s7Q 10 may be incorporated as applicable: 1 Q 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity Page 3 of 4 Permit No. NC0021156 QA = used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from carcinogens 30Q2 = used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality 6. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of concern. Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date of the permit application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th percentile upper concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are compared to the Total allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary. If the predicted max exceeds the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations, the discharge is considered to show reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard, and a permit limit (Total allowable concentration) is included in the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support Document for Water Quality -Based Toxics Control published in 1991. 7. When appropriate, permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in accordance with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to Alexis Strauss on 40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements. The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total chromium data results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical results based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum concentration (95th %) for total chromium will be compared against water quality standards for chromium III and chromium VI. 9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness -dependent metals to ensure the accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset. 10.

The MMP compiles mercury reduction - related efforts to -date and potential future action items. It is designed to be a working document to help guide the City of Mount Holly in its efforts to control mercury loadings discharged into its Publicly - Owned Treatment Works (POTW) by users of the sewer system. Such a reduction in loadings to the sewer system should translate to a reduction in the amount of mercury which is discharged from the treatment plant. The management practices summarized below may also help control some of the mercury reaching our storm sewer system as well. SECTION II — FACILITY DESCRIPTION The City of Mount Holly operates a publicly owned treatment works (POTW), including a collection system and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), that serves the City of Mount Holly and Town of Stanley. The Mount Holly Wastewater Treatment Plant is a 4.0 MGD designed conventional activated sludge treatment facility. The treatment process includes a mechanical bar screen, grit removal, activated sludge treatment with mechanical aerators, secondary clarification, chlorination and dechlorination. Excess biological sludge is digested and land applied to approved land application sites. Most municipal treatment plants are not designed to remove mercury and it is exceedingly expensive to do so to very low levels. Tangential mercury removal occurs through typical municipal treatment with trace levels of mercury (and other metals) ending up in solids removed from the raw wastewater. Mercury is not used in the treatment processes at the WWTP. Mercury may be introduced into the sewer system through a variety of sources, such as from industrial users, laboratories, and other businesses. Residual deposits of mercury are also possible in the sewer system from historic practices. Finally, trace amounts from household products and atmospheric deposition (both wet and dry) contribute to sewer system mercury loadings. SECTION III — PROGRAM PLAN A. EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL NON -DOMESTIC SOURCES CONTRIBUTING MERCURY TO THE POTW Within 180 days from February 1, 2015 (the NPDES Permit required development date of the MMP), the Mount Holly Wastewater Treatment Plant will evaluate available information to assess the potential for non -domestic users of the sewer system to contribute mercury to the system. The information to be reviewed may include: (1) POTW influent and effluent mercury data and trends; (2) industrial user permits and associated mercury monitoring data; (3) Toxics Release Inventory (TRI); (4) state hazardous site registry and the National Priority List relating to mercury contamination; and (5) historical records of industrial sites which have contributed mercury loadings to the sewer system. The Mount Holly Wastewater Treatment Plant will also survey and evaluate the following common sources of mercury in its service area: (1) dentist offices; (2) hospitals; (3) laboratories; (4) auto recyclers; and (5) other potential sources of mercury based on existing information. The Mount Holly Wastewater Treatment Plant will request that industrial users review mercury concentrations in high -volume process chemicals and demonstrate that the mercury concentrations are below industry average. The Mount Holly Wastewater Treatment Plant will request that alternative sources for chemicals be explored if the mercury levels are determined to be significantly higher than would normally be expected. The evaluation of potential non -domestic sources of mercury to the sewer system will be updated every five years, as warranted by prior sampling results and any additional new potentially significant sources to the system. B. ADDITIONAL CONTROL MEASURES This MMP identifies reasonable and cost-effective control measures to minimize mercury being discharged into the POTW. Below is a listing of initial BMPs for this POTW. Pollution Prevention Substances used at the WWTP will be evaluated to determine if they contain mercury or mercury -based compounds. Any such chemicals will be evaluated for substitution with non -mercury -containing substances. All chemicals used and/or stored in bulk quantity will be required to be supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (COA). The City will review information on existing industrial users. Categorical industrial user data will be examined to determine if mercury is a pollutant of concern for that industrial category. A determination will be made on non -categorical users to determine if processes, materials or products stored or handled on -site have the potential to discharge mercury into the treatment system. Housing,_ Spill Control and Collection, and Education The Mount Holly Wastewater Treatment Plant will develop procedures to minimize the possibility of any spill or release at the WWTP involving mercury containing substances. The Mount Holly Wastewater Treatment Plant will add mercury identification and proper disposal to ongoing and future operator training procedures. Surveys and other tools will be developed for use in contact with Medical Facilities, Dental Clinics, Schools, General Industrial Users, Facility/Treatment Systems, Plumbers and the General Public to determine their risk profile, assist in developing appropriate control procedures, identifying performance measure and establishing achievable goals for mercury minimization. Public Outreach The Mount Holly Wastewater Treatment Plant will make available educational information regarding sources of household mercury and appropriate use/disposal practices. This information may be posted on the City of Mount Holly's website. The availability of this information will be made available as an outreach to Mount Holly Wastewater Treatment Plant's customers. The Mount Holly Wastewater Treatment Plant will also facilitate public awareness regarding community collection points for mercury - containing products from residents/customers for proper disposal. Periodic reminders of such collection programs will be provided as part of the Mount -Holly Wastewater Treatment Plant's ongoing public outreach. The City will incorporate additional outreach programs such as identifying mercury recyclers, issuing news releases and placing information on Utility mail outs regarding the control of mercury. Laboratory Practice The Mount Holly Wastewater Treatment Plant operates a laboratory for purposes of complying with state and federal monitoring and sampling requirements. The laboratory is a potential source of small quantities of mercury -containing compounds. Laboratory employees will be trained in the proper handling and disposal of these materials. The laboratories have also replaced mercury thermometers with non -mercury thermometers, whenever practical. An Standard Operating Procedure for handling of mercury containing devices and C. TRACKING AND MONITORING In order to assess the implerentation of the control measures, the Mount Holly Wastewater Treatment Plant proposes to undertake the following evaluations beginning after the first full year that this MMP is implemented: 1. Survey annually at least ten percent (10%) of any non -domestic users identified as possible significant sources of mercury to the POTW; 2. Track the implementation of the programs outlined above; 3. Monitor Significant Industrial User discharge at least annually; 4. Monitor influent mercury at least annually. Require significant non -domestic sources of mercury to monitor periodically, as warranted; and 5. Measure effluent mercury as required by the NPDES permit. These efforts will allow the Mount Holly Wastewater Treatment Plant to establish a baseline of influent and effluent mercury levels to assist in identifying any trends in mercury contributions from domestic and non -domestic users of the sewer system. This baseline will be tracked annually. SECTION 1V-- IMPLEMENTATION OF CONTROL MEASURES The Mount Holly Wastewater Treatment Plant will implement the control measures summarized in Section 3 over the permit term and will update this MMP as warranted. SECTION V — REPORTING A summary of the MMP activities will be submitted as part of the NPDES permit renewal process. 19 LD r 00 O N N 0.0 GJ to r o0 ctt0 0 "'tea' n N GJ N a, a' a J CD Wcr C C C c cc _ N Ln 00 a !

Background and Purpose The Lake Wylie Nutrient Management Strategy is a TMDL approved by EPA Region 4 in 1996 for the North Carolina portion of Lake Wylie'. The strategy established allowable loads of Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) in the lake and its major tributaries. It also set individual wasteload allocations (WLAs) for six POTWs and one industrial WWTP (now a POTW) and a strategy for new/ expanding discharges. It specified that nutrient limits for other industrial WWTPs should be set based on BAT determinations at each facility. The Division has since implemented the TMDL through the NPDES permits of the affected dischargers. The TN and TP limits have been expressed in different ways - concentration or mass load, seasonal or annual - according to the circumstances of each permit. The City of Charlotte proposes to construct a new regional WWTP that will discharge to the Catawba River. The City must acquire nutrient allocations for the new plant in order to satisfy the TMDL. Toward that end, it has purchased TN and TP allocations from Clariant Corporation and has entered into agreements with Mount Holly and Belmont for the connection of their collection systems to the regional system. Under the agreements, Charlotte will transfer the Clariant allocations to the two cities while the regional plant is constructed and the connections made. Belmont and Mount Holly will, in turn, connect and transfer all of their allocations back to Charlotte for the regional plant. In order to execute these transfers, the Division of Water Resources must ensure that all nutrient limits for the affected facilities are expressed as mass loads (rather than concentrations) and for similar compliance periods (seasonal or annual). Rationale The TMDL sets the nutrient allocations/ limits for the individual facilities as average concentrations and as the equivalent daily mass loads. It sets TP allocations as the annual average values and TN allocations for POTWs as season -long averages for the summer season only (Apr -Oct). Three industrial facilities, including Clariant, completed BAT determinations and received technology -based, facility -specific limits for TN and TP. In contrast to the POTWs' limits, all of the industrial limits were set as the annual average of daily mass loads. All of the affected dischargers' permits include annual limits for TP, though some are expressed as concentrations, others as mass loads. Setting all TP limits as annual mass loads provides the necessary form and consistency and has minimal impact on the dischargers. I For the purposes of the TMDL and its implementation, Lake Wylie is defined as the Catawba River and its tributaries from the Mountain Island Lake Dain to the Lake Wylie Dam All of the permits also include (or will include) TN limits. However, achieving consistency is more challenging here. Some of these ]units are seasonal, and one is annual; some are concentrations, others are mass loads. The TN limits can be converted to mass loads, but either the industrial limits must be switched from annual to summer -only limits or, alternately, the POTWs' limits must be switch from summer -only to annual limits. Because the industrial limits are technology -based, reducing them to summer -only values would violate state and federal antidegradation policy. On the other hand, switching the POTWs limits to annual values, while a potential added burden and not required by the TMDL, does align them with the industrial permits. To gain year-round coverage, the TN limits could simply be set as annual limits; however, summer limits would still be required to satisfy the TMDL requirements. Setting TN limits as separate seasonal limits would also provide the necessary coverage, but it has certain advantages: it separates summer limits (specified by the TMDL) from winter limits (not specified), and the two limits do not overlap. Proposed Approach The Division proposes to use the following approach to set TP and TN limits to resolve these differences: 1. Set annual mass TP limits (pounds per calendar year) equivalent to 1.0 mg/L TP for POTWs and equivalent to the approved BAT determinations for industry: 2. Set summer -only mass TN limits (pounds per season) equivalent to the allocations given in the TMDL for POTWs and the BAT determinations for industry. 3. Set winter -only mass TN limits (pounds per season) equivalent to 12.0 mg/L TN for POTWs and the BAT determinations for industry. Setting the POTWs' winter limits equivalent to 12 mg/L TN, or twice the summer equivalent concentration, is meant to provide the necessary year-round coverage while limiting the potential burden to the POTWs. The attached tables provide details of the proposed allocations and limits for the four facilities for the next several years, as Charlotte moves forward with the regional plant project. The results at each step are summarized more briefly below. Projected Nutrient Limits SteLi 0: Nutrient Allocations - Catawba River This table summarizes the allocations already established for the three existing facilities, expressed as seasonal or annual mass loads.

The Division will modify Clariant's permit to reflect the transfer and to express its reduced limits as summer and winter mass TN loads and an annual mass TP load. The allocations before and after the transfer are as follows: Facility Summer TN Winter TN Annual TP (lb/day) (lb/season) (lb/day) (lb/season) (lb/day) (lb/year) Clariant Corp. 318.5 68,159 318.5 48,094 40.0 14,600 90% to Charlotte: -287.0 -61,418 -287.0 -43,337 -36.0 -13,140 Remaining (10%): 31.5 6,741 31.5 4,757 4.0 1,460 Long Creek Regional WWTP (future) 0 0 0 0 0 0 Purchased from Clariant: 287.0 61,418 287.0 43,337 36.0 13,140 Initial Allocations: 287.0 61,418 1 287.0 43,337 36.0 13,140 Note: The summer and winter TN limits are based on the same daily load value but are significantly different due to the different lengths of the seasons: 214 days for summer (Apr - Oct) and 151 days for winter (Nov -Mar). The TP limits are based on daily loads times 365 days. Step 2: Transk from Charlotte to Belmont and Mount Holly Belmont and Mount Holly have entered into agreements with Charlotte to connect to the new Long Creek plant, which is projected to come online in the next five years. In the meantime, Charlotte will transfer its nutrient allocations to Belmont and Mount Holly so that they are not forced to upgrade their plants to meet their TN and TP limits. The two cities have agreed on how to divide the added allocations to meet their needs, and these values are shown in the table below. The resulting limits are projected as follows. The limits for Belmont and Mount Holly are the sum of the POTWs' allocations and the additional allocation from Charlotte. Facility Summer TN Winter TN Annual TP (lb/day) (Ib/season) (lb/day) (lb/season) (lb/day) (lb/year) Clariant Corp. 31.5 61741 31.5 4,757 4.0 1,460 Long Creek Regional WWTP (future) 0 0 0 0 0 0 Mount Holly WWTP 523.2 111,973 823.5 124,345 86.0 31,405 Belmont WWTP 414.3 88,656 764.6 115,449 58.4 21,309 The Division will renew the Belmont permit and modify the Mount Holly permit to include the new limits and will issue Charlotte's Long Creek permit at the same time. Initially, the Long Creek permit will show nutrient allocations and limits of zero, because they have been transferred to the other permits. This will be revised in the next step. Step 3: Transfer from Belmont and Mount Holly to Charlotte Upon completion of the Long Creek plant and connection of the Belmont and Mount Holly collection systems, the two cities' allocations will transfer to Charlotte and the Long Creek permit. 3 Lk Wylie - Catawba River subwatershed - phased NP limits -final - 20181015 11111201911:10AM To enact the transfers, the Division must act on all three permits simultaneously. It will modify the Charlotte permit to include the transferred allocations and resulting limits and, presumably, rescind the Belmont and Mount Holly permits at the Cities' request. The projected limits are as follows: Facility Summer TN Winter TN Annual TP (lb/day) (lb/season) (lb/day) (lb/season) (lb/day) (lb/year) Long Creek Regional WWTP (future) 937.5 200,629 1,588 239,794 -144.4 52,713 Mount Holly WWTP 0 0 0 0 0 0 Belmont WWTP 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ste 4: Phased Limits for Charlotte - LoLig Creek Re Tional VWVTP Charlotte currently plans to build the Long Creek plant in two phases: 15 MGD to start, then expansion to 25 MGD when needed. By the time the plant is operational, the City will hold allocations equivalent to 937.5 lb/ day TN summer, 1,588 lb/ day TN winter, and 144.4 lb/ day TP. In the initial 15 MGD phase, these allocations exceed the 6.0 mg/L TN and 1.0 mg/L TP standards established in the TMDL, as well as the 12.0 mg/L value now set for winter TN. Therefore, the Division expects to calculate the plant's nutrient limits as the mass loads equivalent to the set concentrations at the 15 MGD design flow. The remainder of each allocation will be held in reserve, and the permit will apply the active allocations as limits and also note the reserve allocations. Once the plant expands to 25 MGD, the full allocations can be applied and will be equivalent to 4.5 mg/L TN summer, 7.6 mg/L TN winter, and 0.7 mg/L TP at full design flow. The allowable limits for each phase are as follows: Facility Summer TN Winter TN Annual TP (mg/L) (lb/day) (lb/season) (mg/L) (lb/day) (lb/season) (mg/L) (lb/day) (lb/year) Long Creek RWWTP (Holdings) - 937.5 200,629 1,588 239,794 - 144.4 52,713 Phase 1: Limits @ 15 MGD 6.0 750.6 160,628 12.0 1,501 226,681 1.0 125.1 45,662 Phase 1 Reserve 186.9 40,001 86.8 13,113 19.3 7,052 Phase 2: Limits @ 25 MGD 4.5 937.5 200,629 7.6 1,588 239,794 0.69 144.4 52,713 Phase 2 Reserve 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 Lk Wylie - Catawba River subwatershed - phased NP limits - final - 20181015 11111201911:10 AM ROY COOPER tToraAtr .
