This Document Provides Pertinent Information Concerning the Reissuance of the VPDES Permit Listed Below This document provides pertinent information concerning the reissuance of the VPDES Permit listed below. This permit is being processed as a Minor, Municipal permit. The discharge results from the operation of a 0.667 MGD wastewater treatment plant, with an expansion flow tier of 0.94 MGD. This permit action consists of updating the proposed effluent limits to reflect the current Virginia Water Quality Standards (effective June 5, 2017) and updating permit language as appropriate. The effluent limitations and special conditions contained within this permit will maintain the Water Quality Standards of 9VAC25-260 et seq. 1.

Wastewater Sources and Treatment Description: The Gordonsville Sewage Treatment Plant receives influent from the Town of Gordonsville and sanitary wastewater from Klöckner Pentaplast plant and Dominion Gordonsville Power Station. In 1987, the facility was expanded to include the overland flow system to polish the effluent from the existing aerated lagoon system. Influent flows through a bar screen and is monitored before entering into a transfer pump, known as the splitter box, which can send flows either to an unlined equalization basin or an unlined aerated lagoon. Debris from the bar screen are disposed of in a dumpster on site, which is then emptied and hauled off site approximately every other week. The equalization basin is mainly used for storage during rain events. During the site visit, DEQ staff was informed that all flows from the equalization basin are sent to the aerated lagoon. The aerated lagoon typically has two aerators in operation; however, during the site visit only one aerator was operational. Flow is sent from the aerated lagoon to a clarifier. The clarifier is divided into two sections; however, only one was operational during the site visit. Sludge from the clarifiers is returned to the splitter box, which is cleaned on an as needed basis. From the clarifiers, flow enters a baffled pump station and is disinfected by chlorine. After disinfection, flow is sent to the pond pump station. Chlorine contact time is accomplished through the baffled pump station and the pipeline leading to the pond pump station. In the event that additional chlorine contact time is necessary, flow can be pumped into the one day pond, which would be used as a chlorine contact basin and the residual will be monitored at the pump station wet well prior to being pumped onto the spray fields. However, additional chlorine contact time is typically not need. The pond pump station can send flows either to the one day pond, storage pond, or to the wet well for the overland flow system. Both ponds are unlined. The storage pond has a capacity of 25 million gallons; therefore, the facility has the ability of going for extended periods of times without discharging. The flow is then sprayed over 37 acres of fields. These fields are divided into 10 zones; operators can choose which zone to spray on and for how long. The fields are mowed to maintain the vegetation. Collection ditches surround the fields and funnel the discharge to one point, where the flow is measured and undergoes post aeration before being discharged into the receiving stream. See Attachment 2 for a facility schematic/diagram.

Sludge Treatment and Disposal Methods: An anaerobic digester and drying beds are on site; however, they are no longer operational. During the site visit, DEQ staff was informed that wasting is not needed, as settling occurs in the lagoons and ponds and any remaining solids are taken up on the fields. The digester and drying beds have been out of use for approximately 18 years. VPDES PERMIT PROGRAM FACT SHEET VA0021105 PAGE 3 of 17 12.

Receiving Stream Water Quality and Water Quality Standards: a. Ambient Water Quality Data This facility discharges to an unnamed tributary to South Anna River that has been neither monitored nor assessed. The nearest DEQ monitoring station is 8-SAR101.03, at Route 231, approximately 0.78 miles upstream of the confluence of unnamed tributary 8-XAF with South Anna River. The following is the water quality summary for this segment of South Anna River, as taken from the 2016 Integrated Report: Class III, Section 3. DEQ monitoring stations located in this segment of South Anna River: • Ambient monitoring station 8-SAR101.03, at Route 231. E. coli monitoring finds a bacterial impairment, resulting in an impaired classification for the recreation use. A bacteria TMDL for the South Anna River watershed has been completed and approved. The aquatic life and wildlife uses are considered fully supporting. An observed effect for the aquatic life use is noted for total phosphorus, based on the information from the 2006 Integrated Assessment and an observed effect was noted based on biological monitoring from the 2010 Integrated Assessment. The nearest downstream DEQ monitoring station is 8-SAR097.82, at Route 603, approximately 2.7 miles downstream from Outfall 001.

    Sewage and Wastewater Plants in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed 21 Sewage Plants Violated Permit Limits in 2016; PA and VA Used Trading to Allow Pollution NOVEMBER 29, 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report was researched and written by Courtney Bernhardt and Tom Pelton of the Environmental Integrity Project. THE ENVIRONMENTAL INTEGRITY PROJECT The Environmental Integrity Project (http://www.environmentalintegrity.org) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization established in March of 2002 by former EPA enforcement attorneys to advocate for effective enforcement of environmental laws. EIP has three goals: 1) to provide objective analyses of how the failure to enforce or implement environmental laws increases pollution and affects public health; 2) to hold federal and state agencies, as well as individual corporations, accountable for failing to enforce or comply with environmental laws; and 3) to help local communities obtain the protection of environmental laws. For questions about this report, please contact EIP Director of Communications Tom Pelton at (202) 888-2703 or [email protected].

Sewage and Wastewater Plants in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Executive Summary Across the Chesapeake Bay watershed, 21 sewage treatment plants violated their permit limits last year by releasing excessive amounts of nitrogen or phosphorus pollution that fuel algal blooms and low-oxygen “dead zones” in waterways, according to an Environmental Integrity Project examination of federal and state records.1 The plants in violation included 12 municipal sewage facilities in Maryland that treat more than half of the state’s wastewater, with the most pollution coming from the state’s largest two facilities: Baltimore’s Back River and Patapsco wastewater treatment plants.

Adequate community facilities are essential to support services for current and future populations and for the local economy. The Comprehensive Plan has been developed with a 20-year horizon for guiding land use development and provides a course for predicting the need for future public facilities. The following section assesses existing facilities, the present design adequacy, capacity, and future demand for those facilities using the growth assumptions discussed in Section 1; specifically a 1.5% growth rate, 2.68 persons per household, and the assumption that 70% of growth will occur within the designated Suburban Service Area. This section addresses water/wastewater utilities and facilities associated with Public Safety (Fire/EMS, Sheriff’s Office, Animal Control), Parks and Recreation, Schools, Libraries, Judicial and General Government Services. References are made throughout this section to policies and documents that include further detail of the planning objectives utilized by a department or agency that administers the particular facility. This Section also provides guidance for accommodating private telecommunication infrastructure and to minimize the land use impacts of new facilities.

Monitoring data was assessed against threshold values for each indicator at each site by determining the percentage of samples passing the thresholds over the period of interest. The grades for each site were then averaged together to determine an overall watershed score for each indicator. Ecological Health Indicators, which characterize the health of the system for aquatic life, scored relatively well, except for Total Phosphorus. Bacteria is used as a Human Health Indicator because this data evaluates how safe water is for swimming.
