Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and
specify that,if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals,then permittees must submit
DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA). The Division anticipates that
these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part H of this
permit(Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
o Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)1
Beginning no later than May 1,2015,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/bo g/ipu/edmr
Page 4 of 6

Permit NC0028975
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.
2. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and supersedes Section B. (11.) (d)1
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in Part U,
Section B. (11.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part II,
Section B. (11.)(b). A person, and not a position,must be delegated signatory authority for eDMR
reporting purposes.
For eDMR submissions,the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an eDMR user
account and login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more information on North
Carolina's eDMR system,registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account,please visit
the following web page:
http://portal.nedenr.org/—web/Wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr

the following certification [40 CFR 122.22]. NO OTHER STATEMENTS OF CERTIFICATION
WILL BE ACCEPTED:
U certify, under penalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared under my
direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel
properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or
persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information,
the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I
am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the
possibility of fines and imprisonment for knowing violations."
3. Records Retention [Supplements Section D. (6.)l
The permittee shall retain records of all Discharge Monitoring Reports, including eDMR submissions.

An A to C was issued on 1-20-2006(#028975 A 01)for a new bar screen,influent channel&modifications to the
existing influent channel,a grit collection system,two new 21 ft.diameter clarifiers,removal of the internal
structures in the existing aeration tank,a new chlorination/dechlorination system,a chemical feed system including
a building.
I think the new clarifiers went in where the old(never used)sludge drying beds were located,so that reference needs
to be removed.

Subject: RE: DRAFT Permit: NCO028975 City of Saluda
My comments are as follows:
The WWTP components are listed in the permit as a 0.100 MGD Aero-mod activated sludge plant
with: bar screen; grit chamber; parallel aerations basins; parallel clarifiers
with tube settlers; chlorination; dechlorination; aerated sludge holding
basin; and sludge drying beds.
An A to C was issued on 1-20-2006 (# 028975 A 01) for a new bar screen, influent channel &
modifications to the existing influent channel, a grit collection system, two
new 21 ft. diameter clarifiers, removal of the internal structures in the
existing aeration tank, a new chlorination / dechlorination system, a
chemical feed system including a building.
In light of these improvements, the permit needs to modified to reflect these new improvements.
haven't seen this plant since then, so I can't verify this. I think the new clarifiers went in where the
old (never used) sludge drying beds were located, so that reference needs
to be removed.
