Dear Mr. Benning:
Army Creek Wellfield DraftNPDES Permit No, DE 0050741
Enclosed is ~\ November 1, 1985 draft permit for the Army CreekHellficld discharge to Army Creek. This draft is being forwarded toyou for your comments prior to (ending it to the permittee. Normally,in accordance with the 1983 M.O.A. you arc expected to providecomments within 30 days. Due to the urgency you have placed on theissuance of a permit to this particular permittee you are requested toprovide comments as early as possible, hopefully within 15 days.
Also enclosed is the information relative to this facility yourequested in your letter to me dated September 5, 1985. Specificallyyou requested us to provide:
(1) Flow information on Army Creek (Q7-10)
(2) Any inatream aquatic biological data for Army Creek
(3) Our rationale on how this data supports our decision for thelocation of the point of discharge in accordance with theAugust 27, 1982 "State of Delaware Hater Quality Standardsfor Streams" and Addendum:
Flow Information
An excerpt of a U.fi.G.S. report entitled "Water Resource Unto -Maryland and Delaware - Hater Year 1901" has been encloseSpecifically, this excerpt is data for USGS gaging static
Mr, Lawrence Denning CIKM53)Page TwoNovember 5, 1985
Army Creek located at Scute Road (U.S. Rt. 13), Delaware. The dataindicates that a low How of .01 cfs was encountered for 14consecutive days during August and September 1981. As luch the (8V-10) low flow in interpreted as being much lean than .1 cfs.
Aquatic Biological Data
Enclosed is a October 29, 1985 memo from Mr. Gregory M. Mitchellto Dr. Harry H. Otto. This memo is a report on the results of a June11, 1985 biosurvey conducted at Army Creek. Also enclosed are twomemos that recount a finfish sampling effort of May 31, 1963, One ofthese memos is dated June 17, 1983 and is again from Mr, Mitchell toDr. Otto. The second is dated June 2, 1983 and is from Mr. Mark F.Boiler to Rameoh J. Shah and Marilyn P. LaRiccia.
In addition to the above information we are awaiting the formalresults of a static bioassay that was performed by EPA (at ourrequest) in the Deluth Laboratory. I have enclosed a copy of theresults that were relayed over the telephone. The written resultswill be forwarded as soon as they are received.
Finally, additional biological data is available in Appendix L ofthe feasibility study for this site. A copy has not been enclosed,however, this document should be available in the Region III offices.
Rationale
As has been previously pointed out, the Q7-10 low flow of ArmyCreek is naturally less than .1 cfs. It is currently h'gher solely asa result of the recovery well discharges being pumped to the creek.As such when the recovery well discharges arc eliminated the streamwill be intermittent and therefore will not support fishlife. The'pond will be smaller but will probably still exist.
The creek downstream of the pond currently supports freshwateraquatic species, in spite of the fact that the well discharges havebeen pumped to the creek for the last decade or so, It is anticipatedthat by continuing to pump these discharges to the pond for the next 5years or so will have no significant negative impact on the present orfuture uses of the pond. This is especially true when one considerspermit special conditions 6 and 7. These conditions state that it isassumed the discharges will be discontinued as a result of the
ARI02926
U. ;i
Mr. Lawrence Denning 13HM53)Page Threi1November 5, 1985
landfill closure plan. Further, the permittee will be required todecommission the facility (pond) and may be required to return thepond bacX to its natural condition if certain, yet to be determined,conditions exist. Therefore by allowing the permittee to use the pond•i the treatment facility for a limited time we will be able to getthe pond 'cleaned up" or restored to its natural condition ifnecessary,
After investigating the issue of using the pond as the treatmentfacility I have come to the conclusion that this is an-unusualsituation. However, by allowing them to use the pond in this mannerwe will eventually get the pond cleaned up. If we don't give some inthis area we do not have an alternative mechanism for getting the pondcleaned up.
If you have any questions on the draft permit or the informationsupplied herein, please contact me,
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Bio-Survey at Army Creek
On June 11, 1965, a qualitative biological survey vatconducted at Army Creek. Survey objectives were to determinewhat Kinds of uiacroinverttbrit.es existed above and below ArmyPond, Sample locations were Ft. )3 Brd. - east tide (Storet No.114021) and Army Pond effluent (No Storet No.), Also, a set ofwater quality samples (routine parameters) and water camples foracute toxic bioassays were collected. This report only discussesthe bio-survey results,
General Description of Sample Sites
The sample station at Rt, 13 was a stream, but flow velocitywas extremely slow. The stream channel with noticeable flow wasless than 2 ft, wide, Even in the channel, flow velocity wasslow, Below this area was a large pool approximately 10 ft, wideand 1 ft. deep, Biota collections were taken from the snailchannel and pool. Trie substrate was hard with scattered cobbles,pebbles, gravel and sand.
The sample location at Army Pond effluent was in the streamjust below pond discharge. This station had moderate flowvelocity, a riffle and a large deep pool. The stream was about12 ft. wide, the riffle shallow and the pool 4 ft. deep. Thesubstrate was hard pack clay and sand with scattered cobbles andboulders. Biological sampling was done in the riffle and pool.
Sample timing was ideal because of low flow (spring drought)in Army Creok and Army Pond. During the spring season, there hadbeen very little rain water dilution to minimize pollutionimpacts.
Materials and Methods
At both stations, qualitative campling was conducted bythree people for 30 minutes. The sampling protocol is outlinedbelow:
!. Kick samples - the D-shaped net (0.5 mm mesh)was held upright and the sediment was kickedseveral lime; in front of the net. Di s ibenthos drifted into the net. This could onlybe done at the Army Creek effluent stationbecaus? stream flow was adequate.
-2 -
2. Sweep samples - the D-thaped net. wat iwept•.cross the bottom, around the stream oanks andthrough aquatic vegetation. Sweeps throughvegetation were vary productive.
3. Random hand-picked cobbles - 1!> cobbles wereexamined closely fur clinging invertebrates .
4. Sieve sediments - sediments in pools and nextto stream bank were sieved with the 0.5 mmmesh sieve, Several oligochaetes , pea clamsand chironomids vere collected.
S. Dip net samples - a 3/6 inch mesh hand dip netwas swept through pools and aquatic vegetationfor finfish and vary Urge macroinvertebrates.A few fish, dragonfly nymphs and large snailswere collected.
This qualitative technique does not permit collectedorganisms to be enumerated as number of individuals per unitsample area (e.g. - 50 mayflies per square foot). Densities arelisted as abundant (>2£ individuals), common (>10 individuals)and present «10 individuals),
Advantages of qualitative sampling are less sample time andlaboratory time, Also, a variety of habitats are surveyedinstead of just the riffle habitat when using the quantitativeSurber sampler. The more habitats sampled will increase specieswealth. Species wealth is the strongest and simplest biologicalparameter for assessing water quality impacts.
Chemical and physical data are presented in Table 1. Theidentification and relative abundancies of macroinvertebrates arelisted in Table 2.
Chi ronomids were lumped under one taxon (Chironomidae) onthe Benthic Data Sheet (Table 2). If all midge larvae werecollected and identified, several species would probably bepresent. This would raise the total number of taxa, Fieldobservations noted a lot of red chironomids at both cample sites,

At lhi.i iample «it« invertebrate densities w»r* viry high.The no it abundant organiims were Chironomidae larvae, intuit(Phvia) . pea clami (HuiiULuiffi' . Tubif icidiio worms and leeches.F«idmg habits of these dominant organisms are scavengers andf ilter'feeders, These feeding habits and the high tltnding cropindicated organic enrichment.
Several other different Kind! of invertibratei werecollected. These included mayflies, damcelflies, dragonfliec,beetles, crayfish and other mail species. A total of 13 taxawere identified which was fair ipecies wealth.
Environmental tolerances of the orgamsmc cumpled range fromfacultative to toloranl. The ono exception may be the mayflies
but a literature search was fruitless,
A nnall effort vac made to see what finfich wore residing.After dip netting in a pool and around aquatic plants, ono emailcarp and bluegill wore captured and released.
Negative responses indicated by tho invertebrate communitywere the high standing crop, dominance of hardy species, plusscavengers and filter feeders. Species richness was fair(positive response), Overall stream health appeared to be fair,but moderate organic enrichment was strongly suggested.Fortunately, toxicily did not' appear to bo a problem,
pltcusejon. - Army Pond Effluent
At this sample location invertebrate densities were high.Although the standing crop would still be considered high, it wasnot as enormous as tho other sample site, Most abundant specieswere Chironoicidao larvae, caddisflies <Hvd rqnsvc;!-^ ) , »nd snails(phvsa) , LiKe the other sample station, these invertebrates werescavengers and filter feeders. Hydropsychid caddicflies notcollected at the Rt . 13 Brd. Station were abundint at thislocation because of adequate flow velocity. These species buildnets and depend on swift flow to wash food stuffu into the nols.I strongly believe they were not nutritionally or vater qualitylimited, but limited by nearly no flow at the other station.Also, net spinning caddisflios were indicative of high levels ofsuspended organic particulars .
Many other different types of invertebrates were collected.These included blackflies ({jjimul ium) . mayflies (Caenis 1 .damself 1 IBS , dragonfliet, shrimp, Planorbidae snaili iTubificidae vorrct, leeches and flatworms, The totSIf)taxa was 12 which indicated fair ipeciec richness,

Environnent.il loltrancti of the organisms ranged fromfacultative to tolerant, Only the caddiiflies were •entitivttypes. The mayflies (paenif) are considered facul»t.ive by mostauthors.

Moderateorganic enrichment and high levels of suspended particulalet werestrongly suggested. There was no indication of toxicity.
Conclusions
Spqcios composition and species richness at both samplesites were similar. Hacroinvertebrate densities were high, butthe Ft, 13 Brd. Station appeared to have greater biomass. Alsocommon to both stations were the preponderance of facultative andtolerant organisms. These community responses strongly suggestedmoderate organic enrichment,

SUBJi Red Lion Creek Fish Sampling
DATEi June 2, 19B3
•«•'
On Hay 31, 1983, 1 wont to Red Lion Creek to observe the Division ofFish and wildlife and Tech. Services collect fish camples. My trip wasplanned so I could watch sampling procedures and processing of thesample.
Dob Garrow, Ellen Lynch, and Gregg Mitchell from Tech. Services; MarkBlosser and myself from Hater Resources) Roy Killer, Cathy Martin andDave Camper of fish and Wildlife and Joe Moronc of Diamond Shamrockwere all present.
Fish were collected with 50' X 6' gill nets with V to lh" mesh. Thegill net was set across the creek at the Rud Lion Rt. 9 bridge and leftfor approximately IS hours. A haul seine 25' X 4' X "i" was pulled alongthe bank of the Red Lion. In all, 6 species of fish were caught.
Cyprinus carpio Carp 15 fish - from 1 to 6 Ibs.Ictalurus nebulosis Brown Bullhead 8 fish - from 1 to 2 .Ibs.Ictalurus punctatus Channel Catfish 1 fish - appro*. 8 Ibs.Lepomis gibbosus Punipkinseed Sunf ish 4 fish - all less than 1 Ib.Horonc Americana White Perch 10 fish - all less than 1 Ib.Dorosomn cepodianum Gizzard Shad < fish r up to 3 Ibs.
Diamond Shamrock and Tech Services divided up the fish they needed toanalyze so both had enough samples. The fish kept for the analysis werecarp, bullhead,catfish, gizzard shad, and white perch. This way bottomfeeders and predator fish were analyzed along with the gizzard Jitu4. «which is a plankton and invertibrote feeder. After being(Wjfl|uJ«4>r/d|weighed, the fish were wrapped in acetone rinsed aluminum foil and put "'on ice,

Ac Rt. 1} Red Lion Creek, a gill net. WAS set Across the creek (or 30 Bin..id « haul seine WAS pulled along the bank, I night *dd unsuccessfully,due to deep water. Fifty (SO) white perch, 3 to 5 inches and 4 brownbullheads up to 10 inches were collected in the gill net. Ho otherspecits were collected. These fish wen divided with Diamond Shanrock(or * iplit iii
The Amy CreeK sample station at Rt. 9 woo changed to Amy Creek nearthe railroad bridge by Mirk Blosser. He decided that if the fish weregoing to have any contamination from the landfill, that they would haveit there since this station is directly adjacent to the landfill andthe recovery system feeds the creek a large amount of water. Also thetidal influence was minimal, lie thought that the fish at the Rt. 9station were more or less Delaware River fish and that the volume ofDelaware River Hater flowing in and our. of the creek greatly diluted<ny influence of Amy Creek, Sampling At Rt. 9, however, should bedone because these fish are large and are a recreational and food sourcewhich could be a threat to human health. Sampling should definitely bedone if the Amy Creek fish are contaminated,
In all, 9 species of fish were collected at Amy Creek:
pacrochirus Bluegill B fish - .5 to 3 inchesEnneacanthus gloriosus Blue spotted sunfish 4 fish - .5 to 2 inchesUjpomis qibbosis Pumpkinseed sunfish 35 fish - .5 to 3 inchesPomoxis annularis White crappic 4 fish - .5 to 1.5 inchesEsox americanus Redfln pickcral 7 fish - ,7 to 9 incherjctalurus nebulosis Brown bullhead 4 fish - 4 to 6 inchesNotemigonus crysoleucas Golden shiner 1 fish - 4 inchesAnqu.il la rostrata American eel 4 fish - 3 to 6 inchesHqrone tnericana White perch 5 fish - 2.5 to 3 inches
This diversity of species indicates to me that the fish population is ina healthy state. The fish were small but healthy. They did not appearstunted or sicK, There were no signs of stress and no fish were deformed.The small size of the fish is due to the small body of water sampled, plus,these fish were sampled in a rocky area where the net hung up frequentlystaking escape possible for larger fish.
Invertibrates collected consisted of numerous grass shrimp and mayflylarvae, These also appear to be healthy. It appears that if toxicsubstances are present, they are at levels low enough not to endangeraquatic life, These fish were at various stages in their life cycles withsome fish being very small and sane fish filled with eggs and milt readyto spawn at any time.
The fish to be analyzed at Army Creek are Pumpkinseed cunfifllfj NJljPiQ jl^keral,and Brown bullhead, These fish also were weighed and measured and wrappedin acetone rinsed aluminum foil.
The analyses should be completed within two (2) weeks and results centshortly thereafter.

Dear Ms. Ilarbold:
Enclosed is a letter from Teresa J. Norberg-King to Rick Greene.The letter and attachment confirm the bioassay results for Army Creekthat were provided to us over the telephone. The telephone resultswere submitted to you as part of the pnrmit package sent to Mr. tarryDenning on November 5, 1985.
It is not clear from the results presentaiton, however wo havedetermined that the sample for which dilutions were run was for theeffluent of Army Pond.
Additionally, I have enclosed all recent correspondence relativeto the recent Cease and Desist Order issued to the Town of Georgetown.A package that constitutes our evaluation of the Rehoboth Beach STPsummertime performance has also been included.
