final permit. [See Special Condition A. (2.)] For information on eDMR, registering for eDMR and

Footnotes:
1. No later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, begin submitting discharge monitoring reports
electronically using NC DWR's eDMR application system. See Special Condition A.(2.).
2. In the event that the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system should fail, underperform, or
otherwise be removed from effective service, the perrnittee or his agent should immediately inform the Water Quality
Regional Operations Section staff of the Mooresville Regional Office of this development and discuss temporary,
alternate means for disinfection of the effluent.
If chlorine compounds are used as temporary means of disinfection, the total residual chlorine (TRC) concentration of
the effluent must be monitored while this method of disinfection is in use and values must be reported on the discharge
monitoring report. TRC in the -effluent may not exceed 28 µg/L; therefore, dechlorination methods may also be
necessary to ensure protection of water quality in the receiving stream.
Use of a'disinfection system other than the permitted UV system during circumstances not deemed as emergency and/or
temporary (replacement of lamps, lamp cleaning or maintenance, etc.) will be considered a violation of the terms of this
permit.
The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 µg/1 to be in compliance with the permit.
However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values reported by a North Carolina certified laboratory
(including field certified), even if these values fall below 50 41.
THERE SHALL BE NO DISCHARGE OF FLOATING SOLIDS OR VISIBLE FOAM IN OTHER THAN TRACE AMOUNTS.

Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall begin
reporting 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. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is
compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required
to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete
the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer
printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DENR / DWR / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
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 mailing address above.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements 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 using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid for twelve (12) months and
shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the
permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division.
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting
requirements is found on the following web page:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the
issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the
commencement of discharge.
