Section C - Other Requirements 

Page No.: 18 of 39 

Permit No.: WV0023230 

12. The average daily design flow through the secondary treatment train of the Publicly Owned Treatment Works has 

been established at 10.0 million gallons per day. When the average monthly effluent flow reported on Discharge 

Monitoring Reports reaches or exceeds 90 percent of the average design flow, 9.0 MGD during three (3) 

consecutive monthly periods, the permittee shall submit a Plan of Action to the Director. The Plan of Action shall 

present, at a minimum, an analyses of current hydraulic and organic loadings on the plant, an analysis of the future 

projected loadings, and a Schedule of Tasks to accomplish procedures necessary to maintain required treatment 

levels. 

13. If the permittee experiences flows greater than 90% of average design flow during three consecutive months, and 

can demonstrate that such flows resulted from the maximization of wet weather flow through the POTW, in 

accordance with the Combined Sewer System Overflow requirements of this Permit, then submission of the 

following information will satisfy the above requirement for the submission of a Plan of Action: 

a. During the period, compliance with applicable BODS, TSS, and Fecal Coliform effluent limitations was 

maintained. 

b. Dry weather flows experienced over the period are less than 90% of average design flow. 

c. The permittee is compliant with the Combined Sewer System Overflow requirements of the permit, and that 

continued operation in accordance with those requirements is intended to ensure the maintenance of required 

treatment levels. 

14. Any future collection system extensions projected to cause an increase in wastewater flow that is equal to or greater 

than SOO,OOO gallons per day (S% of the average design flow) shall require the permittee to contact the Director to 

secure approval of the extension. After consideration of the complexity of the project, and the available treatment 

capacity of the facility, the Director may require the permittee to seek approval through Modification of the Permit. 

IS. Over the term of this permit, the permittee is allowed up to 18 excursion(s) of the maximum daily fecal coliform 

effluent limitation prescribed in Section A.OO 1. The number of allowed excursions is based upon one (1) percent of 

the number of required self-monitoring events. Utilization of the excursion allowance is conditioned as follows. 

a. Excursion allowances are afforded only to self-monitoring results and only when self-monitoring activities 

assess compliance with the maximum daily effluent limitation by analysis of an individual grab sample. 

b. No excursion allowance can be applied to analytical results obtained by representatives of the Director in the 

performance of their compliance assessment activities. Additionally, representatives of the Director may 

assess compliance with the maximum daily effluent limitation by collection and analysis of an individual grab 

sample. 

c. No more than one excursion may be utilized in any calendar month. 

d. The excursion allowance is contingent upon the permittee's prompt return to compliance as evidenced by the 

next required fecal coliform self-monitoring event. 

e. The result for which an excursion allowance is claimed shall be included in the calculation of the average 

monthly effluent value. 

f. Should an excursion allowance be utilized by the permittee, said allowance must be reported as an attachment 

to the Discharge Monitoring Report. This attachment should state that (1) an excursion allowance was taken in 

accordance with the conditions outlined above, (2) the total number of allowances taken to date during the 

term of this permit, and (3) the total number of allowances remaining during the term of this permit. The 

permittee shall maintain an on-site record of the excursion allowances utilized during the term of the permit. 

16. The permittee shall be required to test the sewage treatment plant's influent in order to calculate the percent (%) 

removal parameters for BODS and TSS contained in Section A.101 of this permit. Influent sampling requirements 

include: · 

a. Percent removal shall be defined as a percentage expression of the removal efficiency across the wastewater 

treatment plant for a given pollutant parameter, as determined from the thirty day average values of the influent 

concentrations to the facility and the thirty day average effluent pollutant concentrations. Only influent and 

effluent samples taken concurrently as specified in Section 16.e.) below shall be used for reporting. 

b. Wet weather shall be defmed for this specific requirement as a day in which the total measured volume of 

wastewater through the wastewater plant at Outlet No. 101 exceeds 10.0 MGD. 
Section C -Other Requirements 

Page No.: 19 of 39 

Permit No.: WV0023230 

16. c. Influent BOD5 and TSS samples shall be collected at least eight times per month (8/month)for the wastewater 

treatment facility. the permittee shall attempt to collect a dry weather sample and a wet weather sample on a 

weekly basis and shall attempt to collect at least four ( 4) wet weather-influent samples per month and four ( 4) 

dry weather-influent samples per month. However, the Division recognizes that meteorological conditions 

during any specific week or any specific month may prevent the collection of dry weather or wet weather 

samples at the recommended frequencies. 

d. Influent BOD5 and TSS sampling shall be collected using the same sample-type as required in Section A.l01 

of this permit for effluent BOD5 and TSS sampling. 

e. Influent BOD5 and TSS sampling shall be performed over the same time period as effluent BOD5 and TSS 

sampling. 

17. The permittee has requested five(5) day Biochemical Oxygen Demand and Total Suspended Solids regulation in the 

form ofseven(7) day average limitations in lieu of maximum daily limitations. Seven (7) day average is defined as 

the arithmetic mean of pollutant parameter values for samples collected in a period of seven (7) consecutive days. 

The Director has determined that regulation in that form is appropriate for the permitted facility, and has 

incorporated applicable seven (7) day average limitations and self-monitoring requirements in Section A.101 of this 

permit. The seven (7) day average shall be calculated as the arithmetic mean of the sample values recorded during 

the four (4) seven (7)-day periods ofthe month (i.e. 1st to 7th, 8th to 14th, 15th to 21st, and 22nd to 28th). 

Additionally, when representatives of the Director are performing compliance assessment activities that are 

independent of effluent data provided by the permittee, the representatives may perform such assessment based 

upon maximum daily limitations of 60.0 milligrams per liter for both parameters. 

18. The Director is required to include effluent limitations in WV /NPDES Water Pollution Control Permits for all 

priority pollutants that are present in amounts that could potentially cause violation of Water Quality Standards. 

Certain toxic pollutants are known to be present in the influent, effluent, and/or sludge produced by Publicly Owned 

Treatment Works treatment systems. The Director has obtained adequate effluent sampling information and 

background receiving stream data to determine if the pollutants are present in the effluent in amounts that would 

jeopardize Water Quality Standards. Based upon the information obtained, a reasonable potential assessment has 

determined that the pollutants Arsenic, Cadmium, Hexavalent Chromium, Copper, Cyanide, Lead, Nickel, Silver, 

and Zinc do not exhibit a reasonable potential to violate the effluent limitations. However, a reasonable potential 

assessment has determined that the pollutant Mercury exhibit a reasonable potential to violate the effluent 

limitation. 

a. There is uncertainty about the presence of mercury in the effluent discharge from Outlet No. 101. The Division 

shall give the permittee a 24-month time period to evaluate for the presence of mercury in the effluent 

discharge from Outlet No. 101. 

b. The permittee shall continue to monitor only the effluent discharge of Outlet 101 for Total Mercury on a 

monthly basis. Upon the submission of 12 sample results for this parameter, the permittee may request a 

relaxation of the monitoring frequency with the submission of a minor permit modification, should this data 

show that this parameter continue to show no reasonable potential to violate water quality standards. 

c. The sampling and analysis required herein, as prescribed in Section A.l 01 of this permit for mercury shall be 

conducted in accordance with sample collection, preservation, and analytical procedures specified in 40 CFR 

Part 13 6. The permittee shall assure that the test procedure being utilized has an appropriate method detection 

level (MDL) for this parameter. Parameter should be analyzed using test procedure having MDL below, or as 

close to, the water quality standard for said parameter. Analytical test result obtained that is less than the MDL 

shall, at this time, be reported as less than the MDL on the Discharge Monitoring Reports.

18. d. The City of Wheeling shall collect one sample per month for a minimum of twelve (12) samples for the 

pollutant mercury and submit these results to this Division. Based on this new monitoring data, the Division 

shall reassess the reasonable potential result using the new available data. Should this sampling result reflect 

that the effluent does not have a reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard for mercury, the 

Division will consider reduction of the monitoring frequency and/or elimination of the effluent limitation for 

this pollutant. 

19. The analytical test procedures set forth in 40 CFR Part 136 prescribe colorimetric methods for certain parameters. 

The digestion process for the performance of "total recoverable" is not sufficient for the utilization of a colorimetric 

procedure. Therefore, colorimetric procedures shall not be acceptable for the analysis of parameters prescribed as 

"total recoverable".

20. Available sampling methods for total residual chlorine (TRC) are currently not sensitive enough to confirm 

compliance with the permit limitations imposed for the new treatment plant. Total residual chlorine (TRC) samples 

shall be taken, preserved and analyzed in accordance with the latest edition of 40 CFR Part 136. The permittee 

operates a certified wastewater laboratory at the plant site and must comply with the instantaneous sample-type 

requirements, the permittee shall use an EPA Approved Method with at least a method detection level (MDL) of 

100 ug/1. Any TRC sampling result reported as less than the MDL stated above shall be assumed to confirm 

compliance for purposes of permit compliance. Should a more sensitive EPA approved method become available 

for field analysis of TRC, the permittee shall perform TRC self-monitoring in accordance with the new method. If 

the new method is not sensitive enough to determine compliance with specified TRC limits, analytical results 

reported as "not detected" at the MDL of the new method will be deemed compliant for purposes of permit 

compliance. 

21. Any "not detected (ND)" results by the permittee must be "ND" at the method detection limit (MDL) for the test 

method used for that parameter and must be reported as less than the MDL used. The permittee may not report the 

result as zero, "ND", or report the result as less than a minimum level (ML), reporting limit (RL), or practical 

quantitation limit (PQL). 

When averaging values of analytical results for DMR reporting purposes for monthly averages, the permittee should 

use actual analytical results when these results are greater than or equal to the MDL and should use zero (0) when 

these results are less than the MDL. If all analytical results are non-detect at the MDL (<MDL), then the permittee 

should use the actual MDL in the calculation for averaging and report the result as less than the average calculation. 

22. The Division has begun to analyze the impacts of nutrients upon water quality and to explore whether there is a 

need to establish nutrient water quality standards. Therefore, the Division shall impose effluent monitoring for Total 

Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen in order to assist the Division in this analysis. 

The Division recognizes, currently, there is no EPA approved method to directly test for Total Nitrogen. The Total 

Nitrogen value to be reported on the permittee's Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) shall be the sum of the 

following parameters: 

Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) 

Nitrite (N02) 

Nitrate (N03) 

Each of these pollutants listed above has an EPA approved method. 
Section C - Other Requirements 

Page No.: 21 of 39

23. The permittee shall monitor for the Storm water Outlet No. 002, listed in the permit, shall be in accordance with the 

following requirements: 

a. Sampling: The collection of the samples for the reported analyses shall be in accordance with Section A.002 

of this permit. Any specific requirements contained in the applicable analytical methods must be followed for 

sample containers, sample preservation, holding times, the collection of duplicate samples, etc. 

b. A grab sample shall be collected during the frrst 30 minutes, or as soon thereafter as practicable, of the 

discharge and analyzed. 

c. Grab samples are defmed as an individual sample of at least 100 milliliters collected during the frrst 30 

minutes, or as soon thereafter as practicable, of the discharge. 

d. Sample Type: Samples shall be collected from the discharge resulting from a storm event that is greater than 

0.1 inches in magnitude and that occurs at least 72 hours from the previously measurable (greater than 0.1 inch 

rainfall) storm event. Where once per six (6) month sampling is required, the samples for each six month 

period shall be collected at least three (3) months apart, if possible. The grab sample shall be taken during the 

first thirty minutes of the discharge. If the collection of a grab sample during the first thirty minutes is 

impractical, a sample can be taken during the first hour of the discharge, and the discharger shall submit with 

the monitoring report a description of why a grab sample during the first thirty minutes was impractical. 

24. Monitoring benchmark concentrations for Stormwater Outlet No. 002 stormwater pollutants are as follows: 

Pollutant Monitoring Cut-Off 

Concentration 

Sampling 

Frequency 

Sample 

Type 

Biological Oxygen Demand 30 . 0 mg/1 1/6 Months Grab 

Chemical Oxygen Demand 120 . 0 mg/1 1/6 Months Grab

Fecal Coliform 400 counts/100ml 1/6 Months Grab 

pH 6.0 - 9.0 SU 1/6 Months Grab 

Oil & Grease 15.0 mg/1 1/6 Months Grab 

When the average concentration of a pollutant calculated from all monitoring data, minimum of four( 4) consecutive 

samples, is less than the corresponding bench mark value for the pollutant, additional monitoring for the pollutant is 

not required (all pH values of the samples must be within the range 6.0 to 9.0 S.U.). The permittee shall submit, 

twice per year, to the Division of Water and Waste Management, in lieu of the monitoring data, a certification (form 

will be provided upon request) that there has not been a significant change in the industrial activity or the pollution 

prevention measures in the area of the facility that drains to the outlets for which sampling is to be waived. If the 

average concentration of a pollutant exceeds the corresponding benchmark concentration or pH values of all 

samples are not within the range of 6.0 to 9.0 S.U., monitoring shall continue and storm water pollution prevention 

measures shall be revised and the revised plan implemented. 

25 . If there is evidence indicating potential or realized impacts on water quality due to any stormwater discharge 

associated with the wastewater treatment facility covered by this permit, the permit may be promptly modified 

and/or reissued to include effluent limitations and/or other requirements to control such storm water discharges. 

26. Upon the City of Wheeling's rerouting all on-site storm water discharges to the wastewater treatment plant for 

ultimate treatment, the Discharge Limitations and Monitoring Requirements prescribed for Outlet No. 002 on Page 

9 of 39 shall become void. 

With-in thirty (30) days ofthe completion ofthe rerouting of all the storm water discharges, the City ofWheeling 

shall submit a minor permit modification application to this Division to eliminate Outlet No. 002. 

27. Within six (6) months of the issuance of this permit, the permittee shall develop and implement a storm water 

pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) for the wastewater treatment facility site. The SWPPP shall be prepared in 

accordance with good engineering practices. The SWPPP shall identify potential sources of pollution which may 

reasonably be expected to affect the quality of storm water discharges associated with the industrial activity. In 

addition, the plan shall describe and ensure the implementation of practices which are to be used to reduce the 

pollutants in storm water discharges associated with the industrial activity at the facility and to assure compliance 

with the terms and conditions of this permit. A copy of the plan shall be retained at the site for review upon request.

be conducted and documented. Periodic inspections of businesses and /or other customers that may be 

contributing waste streams other than domestic sewage shall be conducted and documented. 

11 . The permittee shall establish a procedure detailing how CSS customer complaints are taken, tracked, 

processed, and resolved. A summary list of complaints and resolutions for the past three years shall be 

readily available for review by the public or the WVDEP. 

b. MAXIMIZE USE OF STORAGE IN COLLECTION SYSTEM 

The permittee shall identify, and document in the OMM, portions of the combined sewer system (CSS) usable 

for storage and determine the CSS storage capacity including the configuration, size, and lift station capacities. 

The permittee shall identify, and document in the OMM, any unused tanks or piping that could potentially be 

used as off-line storage at the existing facilities. The permittee shall identify any bottlenecks in the combined 

sewer system and provide recommendations on increasing flows through these areas. The permittee shall 

identify procedures (and document them in the OMM) such as pre-storm drawdowns of lift station wet wells 

and interceptor collection lines that could provide additional wet weather storage capacity. 

c. REVIEW AND MODIFICATION OF PRETREATMENT PROGRAM 

The permittee shall document in the OMM, the procedures used to inspect and evaluate the necessity of 

pretreatment for indirect non-domestic wastewater dischargers (i.e., restaurants, gasoline stations, garages, 

funeral homes, hospitals, schools, etc.) to minimize their impacts on CSO discharges. The permittee shall 

maintain a list of non-domestic dischargers to their combined collection systems and evaluate the necessity to 

require dischargers to reduce or cease their discharges during wet weather periods when CSO discharges are 

occurring. A summary of pretreatment inspections or evaluations shall be submitted as a part of the CSR. 

d. MAXIMIZATION OF FLOW TO POTW FOR TREATMENT 

The permittee shall document the plans and procedures being implemented to maximize the combined 

wastewater flow to the POTW during wet weather events and to deliver as much of the combined wastewater 

flow as possible to the treatment plant within the treatment plant's hydraulic capacity and the treatment plant's 

constraints as imposed by the permit effluent limitations. The plan shall be documented in the OMM and a 

summary of any ongoing activities shall be submitted as a part of the periodic CSR. The pennittee shall 

evaluate annually and document any maximization procedures implemented including the following: 

J . Evaluate and document the performance of critical CSO equipment in the combined sewer system and 

POTW. 

2. Evaluate and document the potential of raising CSO diversion weirs or other devices to the maximum 

heights possible to reduce CSO activity. 

3. Evaluate and document the comparison between existing flow rates to design capacity for both the POTW 

and the lift station pumps. 

4. Evaluate and document the capacities of major interceptors and pumping stations delivering flows to the 

POTW. 

5. Evaluate and document wet weather flow rates to the POTW compared to typical dry weather flows. 

6. Evaluate and document whether some portion of wet weather flow could receive partial treatment at the 

POTW. 

7. Evaluate and document the status of any excessive inflow and infiltration (I&I) correction projects. 

8. Evaluate and document whether CSO discharge events are occurring even when the POTW flow volumes 

at the POTW falls below the rated design capacity. If occurrences are happening, develop corrective 

actions that can be taken to prevent recurrence.

II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE: 

Proper Operation and Maintenance 

The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are 

installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate 

laboratory controls, and appropriate quality assurance procedures. Unless otherwise required by Federal or State law, this provision requires the operation 

of back-up auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by the permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the 

conditions of the permit. For domestic waste treatment facilities, waste treatment operators as classified by the WV Bureau of Public Health Laws, W. Va. 

Code Chapter 16-1, will be required except that in circumstances where the domestic waste treatment facility is receiving any type of industrial waste, the 

Director may require a more highly skilled operator. 

2. Need to Halt or Reduce Activity Not a Defense 

3. Bypass 

4. Upset 

It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to 

maintain compliance with the conditions of the permit. 

a) Defmitions 

(1) "Bypass" means the intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility; and 

(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to 

become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence 

of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. 

b) Bypass not exceeding limitations. The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but 

only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provision ofll.3.c) and 11.3.d) of 

this permit. 

c) ( 1) If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten ( 1 0) days before the 

date of the bypass; 

(2) If the permittee does not know in advance of the need for bypass, notice shall be submitted as required in IV.2. b) of this permit. 

d) Prohibition of bypass 

(1) Bypass is permitted only under the following conditions, and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for a 

bypass, unless; 

(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss oflife, personal injury, or severe property damage; 

(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated 

wastes, or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup 

equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgement to prevent a bypass which 

occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventative maintenance; and 

(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under 11.3.c) of this permit. 

(2) The Director may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if the Director determines that it will meet the 

three conditions listed in 11.3.d.(l) of this permit. 

a) Definition. "Upset" means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology-based permit 

effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent 

caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventative maintenance, or 

careless or improper operation. 

b) Effect of an upset. An upset constitutes an affrrmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology-based permit 

effluent limitation if the requirements ofll.4.c) are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance 

was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. 

c) Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affrrmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, 

through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: 

(I) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; 

(2) The permitted facility was at the time being properly operated; 

(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in IV.2.b) of this permit. 

(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under 1.3. of this permit. 

d) Burden of proof. In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. 

5. Removed Substances 

Where removed substances are not otherwise covered by the terms and conditions of this permit or other existing permit by the Director, any solids, sludges, 

filter backwash or other pollutants (removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters) and which are intended for disposal within the State, 

shall be disposed of only in a manner and at a site subject to the approval by the Director. If such substances are intended for disposal outside the State or for 

reuse, i.e., as a material used for making another product, which in tum has another use, the permittee shall notify the Director in writing of the proposed 

disposal or use of such substances, the identity of the prospective disposer or users, and the intended place of disposal or use, as appropriate. 
Ill. MONITORING AND REPORTING

inill.6. 

S. Additional Monitoring by Permittee 

If the permittee monitors any pollutant at any monitoring point specified in this permit more frequently than required by this permit, using approved test 

procedures or others as specified in this permit, the results of this monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted in the 

Discharge Monitoring Report Form. Such increased frequency shall also be indicated. Calculations for all limitations which require averaging of 

measurements shall utilize an arithmetic mean unless otherwise specified in the permit. 

1.ecords Retention 

The permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including all calibration and maintenance records and all original chart recordings for 

continuous monitoring instrumentation, copies of all reports required by this permit, and records of all data used to complete the application for the permit,

k) 

I) 

"Daily discharge" means the discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or within any specified period that reasonably represents 

the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants with limitations expressed in units of mass, the daily discharge is calculated as the 

total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants with limitations expressed in other units of measurement, the daily discharge 

is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. 

"Average monthly discharge limitation" means the highest allowable average of daily discharges over a calendar month, calculated as the sum 

of all daily discharges measured during a calendar month divided by the number of daily discharges measured during that month. 

"Maximum daily discharge limitation" means the highest allowable daily discharge. 

"Composite Sample" is a combination of individual samples obtained at regular intervals over a time period. Either the volume of each 

individual sample is proportional to discharge flow rates or the sampling interval (for constant volume samples) is proportional to the flow rates 

over the time period used to produce the composite. The maximum time period between individual samples shall be two hours. 

"Grab Sample" is an individual sample collected in less than IS minutes. 

"is" = immersion stabilization - a calibrated device is immersed in the effluent stream until the reading is stabilized. 

The "daily average temperature" means the arithmetic average of temperature measurements made on an hourly basis, or the mean value plot of 

the record of a continuous automated temperature recording instrument, either during a calendar month, or during the operating month if flows 

are of shorter duration. 

The "daily maximum temperature" means the highest arithmetic average of the temperatures observed for any two (2) consecutive hours during 

a 24 hour day, or during the operating day if flows are of shorter duration. 

The "monthly average fecal coliform" bacteria is the geometric average of all samples collected during the month. 

"Measured Flow" means any method of liquid volume measurement, the accuracy of which has been previously demonstrated in engineering 

practice, or which a relationship to absolute volume has been obtained. 

"Estimate" means to be based on a technical evaluation of the sources contributing to the discharge including, but not limited to pump 

capabilities, water meters and batch discharge volumes. 

''Non-contact cooling water" means the water that is contained in a leak-free system, i.e., no contact with any gas, liquid, or solid other than the 

container for transport; the water shall have no net poundage addition of any pollutant over intake water levels, exclusive of approved antifouling agents.
