The Zooland Family Campground WWTP is a minor facility(flow< 1 MGD)with a design capacity and permitted wastewater discharge of 0.006 MGD. The WWTP was originally permitted in June 2011. This facility utilizes the following treatment components: ♦ 8,000-gallon septic tank influent receiving basin ♦ 2,000-gallon flow equalization tank ♦ Duplex submersible pumps Fact Sheet for Permit Renewal June 2024-NPDES Permit NCO089052-Page 1 Docusign Envelope ID:D2D1A3F8-944D-44BA-BFB7-OBEFB7743716 ♦ 9,600-gallon Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor ♦ 3,500-gallon clarifier ♦ Duplex blower system ♦ 1,500-gallon filter feed tank ♦ One pressure sand filter ♦ 1,500-gallon clearwell with diffused post aeration ♦ Alkalinity feed system ♦ Two ultraviolet light disinfection systems ♦ Backup generator and transfer switch RENEWAL SUMMARY This renewal contains the following changes: • Added the monthly average and daily maximum NH3 as N effluent limits for the winter months (November 1 —March 31) for 0.017 MGD flow based on the IWC calculations and 2016 NH3 guidance document. The monthly average winter limit for NH3 as N will be 4.0 mg/L and the winter daily maximum limit will be 20.0 mg/L. The changes can be found in Part I. A. (1.). • Updated Part I. Section A. (3)to reflect current federal requirements for Electronic Reporting of Discharge Monitoring Reports. • Removed component list for the potential expansion to operate a 0.017 MGD WWTP at the facility because the previous list was outdated and the proposed components would be detailed in a future Authorization to Construct. The previous list that was removed from the permit for 0.017 MGD flow is shown below: 0 10,000-gallon septic tank influent receiving basin 0 3,000-gallon flow equalization tank interconnected to existing flow equalization tank o Duplex submersible pumps 0 5000-gallon Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor o Duplex blower system o Bioclere with integral clarifier 0 1,500-gallon filter feed tank(existing) o One additional tertiary sand filter o Ultraviolet light disinfection system o Effluent flow meter with recorder(existing) o Backup generator and transfer switch(existing) COMPLIANCE HISTORY Zooland Family Campground WWTP has had three enforcements on record for fecal coliform,total suspended solids,BOD, ammonia nitrogen, and flow limit violations since the permit was issued in October 2019. The facility has been issued 12 Proceed to NOVs for BOD,Fecal, and TSS limit violations and six Proceed to NOVs for Dissolved Oxygen,pH,and Temperature monitoring violations since the permit was issued in October 2019. Most recent inspection(January 2023)showed the facility to be noncompliant due to record keeping, laboratory certification, standby power, aeration, and UV disinfection issues.

VAN DER VAART secremry Water Resources ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY S. JAY ZIMMEi RMAN Director Memorandum To: NPDES Complex Unit From: Tom Belnick Date: July 20, 2016 Subject: NPDES Permitting Guidance NPDES Implementation of Ammonia Criteria-Update NC has still not adopted an ammonia standard, though it is on our WQS Triennial List for next round. NC did establish ammonia chronic criteria for use in NPDES permitting back in 1989/90, which was based on EPA's 1986 criteria development document that factored in pH/Temp across three regions of the State (see attached). This evaluation resulted in ammonia chronic criteria of 1.0 mg/l NH3-N (summer) and 1.8 mg/l NH3-N (winter) for use in permitting purposes. NC implements these chronic criteria as Monthly Averages limits utilizing instream dilution. In 2002,NC developed procedures for complimentary acute permit limits (discussed below). The current ammonia permitting procedures should be as follows: • The NH3/TRC Wasteload Allocation(WLA) spreadsheet automatically calculates appropriate ammonia Monthly Average limits for summer and winter. The spreadsheet assumes a background ammonia concentration of 0.22 mg/1. • For any permit (new/renewal), always run the NH3/TRC WLA spreadsheet to verify appropriate Monthly Average Ammonia Limits for protection of aquatic life. • If the allowable ammonia concentration is greater than 35 mg/l,no limit should be imposed. • If the allowable concentration is less than 35 mg/1,then the allowable limit is needed and the spreadsheet will automatically calculate it. • For Municipal facilities,the acute limit will be expressed as a Weekly Average, and is based on multiplying the Monthly Average limit by a factor of 3. • For non-Municipal facilities,the acute limit will be expressed as a Daily Maximum, and is based on multiplying the Monthly Average limit by a factor of 5. • If a new more stringent ammonia limit is required, discuss the need for a Compliance Schedule with senior staff and then with the Permitee. • There is no RPA procedure used for ammonia; it is implemented strictly based on WLA spreadsheet results (similar to TRC). State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Water Resources 1617 Mail Service Center I Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617 919 707 9000 Docusign Envelope ID: D2D1A3F8-944D-44BA-BFB7-OBEFB7743716 Page 12 • A sample NH3/TRC WLA is attached. In this example, the spreadsheet indicates that Monthly Average ammonia limits of 3.2 mg/1 and 12.7 mg/1 should be imposed for summer and winter, respectively, in order to protect for NC's chronic ammonia criteria. Some additional considerations: • This guidance will need to be revisited after NC formally adopts an ammonia standard for both chronic and acute aquatic life protection. • In the past, some ammonia limits were based strictly on protection of our DO standard rather than ammonia toxicity, and that is why the permit writer should always verify the correct ammonia limit with any permit renewal using the WLA spreadsheet. • In the past, some practices allowed for maintaining a less stringent ammonia limit if the facility was consistently passing the WET test(i.e., biology trumps chemistry). This is no longer a valid approach and EPA would object. In April 2016 EPA expressly stated that NC cannot use biology to override chemical results. EPA also disallowed the use of Action Levels in permitting, in which toxicity test results (if passing) were used to override the need for permit limits for copper/zinc/silver/iron/chloride.

ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.1(B)] Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs)and program reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21,2015. NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this permit(Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits): • Section B.(11.) Signatory Requirements • Section D.(2.) Reporting • Section D.(6.) Records Retention • Section E.(5.) Monitoring Reports 1. Reporting Requirements [Supersedes Section D.(2.)and Section E.(5.)(a)1 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://deg.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: NC DEQ/Division of Water Resources/Water Quality Permitting Section ATTENTION: Central Files 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617 See"How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting"section below. 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. Starting on December 21,2025,the permittee must electronically report the following compliance monitoring data and reports, when applicable: • Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports; • Pretreatment Program Annual Reports;and • Clean Water Act(CWA) Section 316(b)Annual Reports. The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division(see"How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting"section below). 2. Electronic Submissions 9 Page 5 of 7 Docusign Envelope ID: D2D1A3F8-944D-44BA-BFB7-OBEFB7743716 Permit NCO089052 In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9),the permittee must identify the initial recipient at the time of each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website resources to identify the initial recipient for the electronic submission. Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program)that is the designated entity for receiving electronic NPDES data[see 40 CFR 127.2 (b)]. EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule is found at: https•//www federalre ig ster gov/documents/2015/10/22/2015-24954/national-pollutant-discharge- elimination-system-npdes-electronic-reporting rule Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the"Reporting Requirements" section above. 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: http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resotirces/edmr 4. 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 II, 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://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr Certification.

Based on the previous fact sheet binder from 2019 and the 2011 authorization to construct it looks like the current component capacity for the reactor(9,600 gallons) is correct and the ownership change factsheet from 2011 does include a 5000-gallon reactor in the expansion! I talked to Sydney and John and we have decided to remove the components List for the expansion since they will need to submit an ATC for expansion anyways and the old components list has not taken into account plant changes since 2011 (most of our newer permits do not include component lists for expansions anyways, since they often change in the ATC). Great catch,Jenny!! Please feel free to give me a call if this does not make any sense!!
