2. cited relevant regulations for Biological WPCS Grade I [Section A. (1.)]
3. updated text for electronic reporting requirements. [Section A. (3.)]

Monthly Report Submittals: Our records show that Sunrise has registered for e-reporting. Federal
regulations require electronic submittal of all program reports and Monthly Discharge Monitoring
Reports (DMRs); see Permit Condition A. (3). Please do not continue to submit DMR hardcopy as
back-up to the eDMR.
The NPDES standard conditions (Parts II, III, and IV), are part of this permit but are not included in this

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:

3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an
electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request to
the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in writing to
the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be
required under this permit to begin submitting monitoring data and reports.
The duration of a temporary waiver shall not exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such
time, monitoring data and reports shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the
permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division.
Approved electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved
reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the
period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective.
Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are found on
the following web page:
