Subject: Draft NPDES Permit NC0058548
Town of Star WWTP
Grade III Biological WPCS
Montgomery County
Dear Mayor O'Brien:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the Draft NPDES permit renewal for your facility. Please review
this draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the requirements and conditions it contains. We
understand from your renewal application that there have been no significant changes to the treatment
system.There are a few changes in the draft from the existing permit. These changes are summarized
below.
• Regulatory Citations—Language has been added where necessary in the permit to provide
regulatory citations for permit requirements.
• Electronic Reporting—Permit language has been added to be consistent with the finalization of
federal requirements for electronic reporting.
• Chronic Toxicity Reporting—Permit language has been modified to indicate an electronic
alternative for providing the Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms with the Division's Water
Sciences Section.
• Total Copper Effluent Limitations—Based on a Reasonable Potential Analysis of the monitoring
data for the facility it was determined that limits for this parameter can be increased slightly to
21.1 µg/L—daily max and 14.9 µg/L—monthly average. This adjustment will become effective
on the effective date of the reissued permit.
• Total Zinc Effluent Limitations—Based on a Reasonable Potential Analysis of the monitoring
data for the facility it was determined that monitoring limits can be removed from the permit for
this parameter. Monitoring will still be required in the permit for total zinc,but the frequency of
monitoring has been reduced to quarterly and no limits will apply.
• Chronic Toxicity Limits—The toxicity results for this facility over the last three years of
monitoring show that the facility has failed 25%of the toxicity tests conducted. The facility has
passed the last five toxicity testing events. At this time there is no additional information about
any potential causes of the toxicity event failures. The draft permit includes a special Whole

Effluent Toxicity reopener condition [see Section A.(6)]that may lead to reopening the permit or
requirements for additional actions to address toxicity issues.
• Please note that the monitoring changes noted above for Copper and Zinc are not currently
effective. Until your permit is reissued and becomes effective you must continue to meet the
monitoring frequencies and permit limits contained in your existing permit.
In your application submittal you had included a few requests for review as part of the permit renewal.
These items are addressed below.
• Tiered Flow-You requested that the tiered flow limits remain in the permit renewal. This has
been retained in the draft.
• Cyanide Monitoring—You requested that the requirement for cyanide monitoring be removed
from the permit. We certainly understand your concerns with the monitoring data showing
results that are mainly below the quantitation level for this parameter. However,our review of
the data in our Reasonable Potential Analysis(RPA)continues to show that there is potential for
impacts to instream water quality levels for cyanide. The draft permit will maintain the cyanide
monitoring at this time and we can continue to evaluate this issue.
• Hardness Monitoring—You requested that hardness monitoring be removed as a requirement in
the permit due to fairly consistent results in the monitoring for this parameter. Hardness
monitoring data is used in our RPA analysis of data to assess potential stream impacts. Without
specific hardness data for your location our RPA analysis of data will utilize a default value of
25. This could impact your permit limits for hardness dependent metals in a way that could make
your permit limits more stringent. With that in mind it is actually to your advantage to provide us
with specific hardness data since your numbers have been higher than the default value.
Hardness has been maintained in the draft permit.
• Composite Sampling—You requested a waiver for required composite sampling. The Standard
Conditions in your permit include options to look at alternative sampling procedures to
continuous sampling. These alternatives can be found under the definition of"Composite
Sample"in Part II Section A.of the Standard Conditions. The composite sampling condition in
the draft permit has not been changed. Instead, we encourage you to work with staff in the
Fayetteville Regional Office to see if there are alternatives under the Standard Conditions that can
address you concerns.
• Toxicity Monitoring—You requested removal of the Chronic Toxicity testing requirements in
your permit since your facility is a 100%domestic discharger. Review of the monitoring results
from your facility indicate that there have been failed toxicity tests over the permit cycle. In the
last year three tests have been failed. These failed tests indicate that there are still potential issues
with toxicity of your discharge. We understand your concerns as a strictly domestic discharger;
however the past results indicate that the checks provided by regular toxicity testing procedures
are necessary to assure no ongoing impacts to surface waters.
The NPDES standard conditions(Parts II,III,and IV)that are a part of the permit are not included in this
draft document(cover,map,and Part I).The conditions are the same as in your current permit.The latest
version of the standard conditions is available at https://bit.ly/3k5NFaL and can be viewed online or
downloaded as a PDF file.
Concurrent with this notification the Division is publishing a notice in a newspaper having general
circulation in the Montgomery County area soliciting public comments on this draft permit. Please
provide any written comments you may have to me no later than 30 days after receipt of this draft
permit.

deems necessary to support water quality protection and restoration efforts in the receiving stream.
A. (4) SLUDGE STORAGE LAGOON
[NCGS 143-215.1 (a)]
Prior to placing the sludge storage lagoon into operation,the facility shall obtain approval from the
Fayetteville Regional Office. When requesting approval,the facility shall demonstrate that the integrity of
the liner has not been compromised and that use of the sludge storage pond will not pose a threat to
groundwater.Additionally,if any modifications to the existing design are proposed,an Authorization to
Construct shall be required.
A. (5) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
[15A NCAC 02B.0200 et seq.]
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in
the"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure,"(Revised December 2010,or
subsequent versions)or"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised December 2010,or subsequent versions). The tests will be performed during the months of
January,April,July and October. These months signify the first month of each three-month toxicity
testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during
representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted fmal effluent discharge
below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV
below the permit limit,then multiple-concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum,in
each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase H Chronic Whole
Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-December 2010,or subsequent versions).
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered electronically using
the Division's eDMR system for the months in which tests were performed,using the parameter code
TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally,DWR Form AT-3
(original)is to be sent to the following address:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,NC 27699-1621
Or,results can be sent to the email,ATForms.ATB@a,ncdenr.gov.
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water Sciences Section no later than 30
days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Page 5 of 10

Draft Permit NC0058548
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data,and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate
signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if
chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required,the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity(AT)test
form indicating the facility name,permit number,pipe number,county,and the month/year of the report
with the notation of"No Flow"in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the
Water Sciences Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,monitoring
will be required during the following month. Assessment of toxicity compliance is based on the toxicity
testing quarter,which is the three-month time interval that begins on the first day of the month in which
toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues until the fmal day of the third month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division
of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-opened and
modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival,minimum control organism reproduction,and appropriate environmental controls,
shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later
than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.
A. (6) PERMIT RE-OPENER: WHOLE EFFLUENT TOXICITY
[NCGS 143-215.1 (b)]
Whole Effluent Toxicity monitoring results indicating aquatic toxicity may result in the Division of Water
Resources re-opening this permit or requesting by letter that further action be taken. Additional metals testing, a
toxicity identification evaluation, a toxicity reduction evaluation, and/or an assessment of discharge treatment
alternatives may be requested.
A. (7) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS
[NCGS 143-215.1 (b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports(DMRs)and program
reports. The fmal NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December
21,2015.

The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic
Discharge Monitoring Report(eDMR)internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. The eDMR system may be
accessed at: https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr.
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility
being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband
access,then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted
and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms(MR 1, 1.1,2, 3)or
alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the
following address:
